''Top Gun'' (1986) was inspired by a magazine article on Navy pilots. The screenwriters and director Creator/TonyScott viewed it as "[[XMeetsY Sports Movie meets jets]]". In it, a hotshot pilot named "Maverick" (Cruise) is sent to the [=TOPGUN=][[note]] Which is the actual name of the real-life school - all caps, no space[[/note]] training school, a five-week workshop where pilots learn how to really kick ass in an OldSchoolDogfight. Here Maverick has to deal with competition from fellow pilots, and conquer his own demons.The film had [[BackedByThePentagon full cooperation from the Pentagon]], and much of its aerial combat was shot "reel for real" using actual Navy hardware. (So real, somebody died making it.) It was an unanticipated success and caused an immediate boost in Navy enlistment figures, to the point that they started putting recruiting booths right there in the theatre.----!!Tropes contained therein:* AcePilot: Obviously. As far as particular styles:** Iceman is described as a Steamroller. To paraphrase Goose, he just stays on you and harries you relentlessly until you make a mistake.** During one exercise Viper and Jester collaborate as a Plugger and Bushwhacker/Sniper respectively, with Viper drawing an overeager Maverick off while Jester sneaks up on him from another direction.** Mav doesn't really have any particular style; he flies almost entirely on instinct. At one point he flat-out states to Charlie that, "You think, you're dead."* ActuallyFourMooks: The [=MiG=] pilots like to fly in close formation to disguise their radar signatures as fewer planes than are actually present. This is TruthInTelevision, and has also been used by American pilots from time to time.* AnonymousRinger: The nation whose air force the main characters fly against is never named. Speculation pegs it as South Yemen, a then Soviet client. IMDB suggests it was intended to be North Korea, which is rather unlikely as dialogue in the film establishes the setting as the Indian Ocean.* AwardBaitSong[=/=]EarWorm: Take my breath awaaaaaaaaay...* BadassBiker: Maverick, when he's not flying.* BadassMustache: Goose and Viper.* BaldOfAwesome: Stinger, Maverick's commanding officer on the ''Enterprise''.* BruiserWithASoftCentre: Maverick.** Maverick's CO, Stinger, also counts. He's built like a fireplug and he tears both Maverick and Goose a new asshole, but he begins with a soft "Maverick, you just did an incredibly brave thing..." and ends with "Good luck, Gentlemen."* BunnyEarsLawyer: Maverick. He's too hotheaded for his own good, but he's one of the absolute best pilots around.* BuzzingTheTower: Maverick has a history of doing these over control towers, and one [[TheGeneralsDaughter admiral's daughter]]. In the course of the film he does it twice more, both time causing the control Sergeant to spill coffee on himself.* ChekhovsSkill: A couple of notable ones:** [[DodgeByBraking "I'll hit the brakes, he'll fly right by."]]** The [=MiG=]-28s flying in tight formation so as to disguise their individual radar signatures.* CodeName: Aviator callsigns, but here they're far cooler than RL examples. The credits demonstrate this.* ColonelBadass: Commander Mike "Viper" Metcalf and Commander Tom "Stinger" Jordan definitely qualify.* ComingInHot: Cougar goes a bit crazy after a close encounter with some [=MiGs=], and has to be talked down, despite there being nothing wrong with his plane itself. * CoolOldGuy: Viper.* CoolPlane: The F-14 Tomcat.** And at least an honorable mention to the A-4 Skyhawk and F-5E Tiger II ("[=MiG=]-28").* CoughSnarkCough: Iceman's reaction to Maverick's [=MiG=] story.* CrowdSong: "[[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hQtGZKdW0Xc You've Lost That Lovin' Feelin']]"* [[DefrostingIceQueen Defrosting Iceman]]: Iceman, by the end of the film.* DisappearedDad: Maverick's father was shot down and killed in an unnamed conflict.* DisqualificationInducedVictory: The pilot Cougar loses his cool and turns in his wings. So Maverick and Goose get a slot at the Fighter Weapons school in his place. Their commander wanted to ground them both after their antics with [[UsefulNotes/ColdWar Soviet Migs]].* DodgeByBraking: The TropeMaker in modern filmmaking, Maverick uses this technique to make his enemies overshoot. It works every time.** So as not to give the wrong idea, he only does it twice, each time to a different opponent which is why it is listed above as a ChekhovsSkill.* DrillSergeantNasty: Averted by the instructors at Top Gun; while they may be stern taskmasters at times, they never raise their voices very much and really have their students' best interests in mind.* TheDreaded: Viper. Oh, sure, he might just be an instructor, but even his ''presence'' on the field is enough to give the trainees pause.-->'''Viper:''' ''Good morning, gentlemen. The temperature is 110 degrees..."-->'''Wolfman:''' "Holy shit, it's Viper!"-->'''Goose:''' "Viper's up here? Great! [--...oooh, shit!--]"-->'''Maverick''' "Great, he's probably saying, "Holy shit, it's Maverick and Goose" "-->'''Goose''' "[[SarcasmMode Yeah,]] [[DeadpanSnarker I'm sure he's saying that...]]"* DueToTheDead: [[spoiler:Maverick throws his dearly departed friend's dog tags into the sea after winning the dogfight.]]* EjectEjectEject: [[http://www.hark.com/clips/smqwrkjbxn-i-cant-reach-the-ejection-handle Maverick to Goose.]]* FacelessGoons: With visors and masks, everyone is technically faceless in the fighting scenes, but the U.S. pilots wear coloured helmets with their names on them and rarely use their visors, while the enemy pilots just have black always-visored helmets with a red star on.** Notably, the U.S. pilots are also frequently shown flying with their oxygen masks dangling to the side. This provides a minor LockAndLoadMontage - the pilots snap their masks in place when they are about to enter combat.* {{Fanservice}}: The volleyball scene, the shower scene(s).* FatalFamilyPhoto: Subverted -- Cougar has such a photo, but Maverick prevents him from crashing. He then resigns his commission.* FighterLaunchingSequence* FlippingTheBird: Maverick does it to the [=MiG=] pilot while inverted and snapping photos. Goose does it to the entire briefing room while telling the story of their aerobatic international relations.* FollowTheLeader:** Inspired several imitators, including ''Film/FireBirds'' and the short-lived TV series ''Supercarrier'', the [[LongRunner long-running]] TV series ''Series/{{JAG}}'', as well as multiple air-combat video games.** The movie ''Navy SEALS'' with Creator/CharlieSheen was requested by the Navy, who hoped it would provide a bump in enlistments the way ''Top Gun'' did.** The Navy also fully supported the production of ''Film/TheHuntForRedOctober'' as they thought it would do for the submarine service what ''Top Gun'' did for Navy aviation.* GatlingGood: The shots of the [=MiGs=] firing their guns during the final dogfight cut to a shot of a Minigun firing. The F-14 carries an internal 20mm Vulcan cannon as well, but it's never used on-screen.** No mig fighters in reality uses a gatling gun, the only Mig plane to use one is the MIG-27 which is a ground attack airplane.* TheGeneralsDaughter: A high-speed pass over an ''admiral's'' daughter is mentioned a couple of times, [[NoodleIncident but we never hear the whole story]]. It's within the realm of possibility that Maverick didn't ''literally'' do a high speed pass over the admiral's daughter, in fact it's strongly implied that Stinger was being figurative and that Mav had a fling with her.* GettingCrapPastTheRadar: This film practically ''flaunts'' crap for the radar. How they managed a PG rating with that sex scene is a miracle.* GlassesPull: Maverick, near constantly.* GuyInBack: Goose, for Maverick, here referred to as a RIO (Radar Intercept Officer). Slider, for Iceman. Later, [[spoiler:Sundown and Merlin take Goose's place.]]* HotBlooded: Maverick, who likes yanking stunts like the picture-taking with the [=MiG=] at dangerously close range and abandoning his wingman for a perfect shot. His ego's writing checks his body can't cash, and it's noted he got it from his father.* HelmetsAreHardlyHeroic: While all pilots do wear helmets, none of the named characters have their sun visors covering their eyes while flying (not even strict "by the book" pilots like Jester or Viper).* HeroicBSOD: Maverick is stuck in one after [[spoiler:Goose's death.]]** Cougar has one in-flight after an enemy fighter gets a missile lock on him.* HeterosexualLifePartners: Maverick and Goose. It is strongly implied that they have been friends and flight-team partners for quite some time, and at one point Maverick calls Goose "the only family I've got." * ImprobablePilotingSkills: Maverick, most of the time.* InsistentTerminology: Maverick corrects Charlie when she calls him a "pilot." TruthInTelevision, the Navy has ''Aviators'', not "pilots."* IntroductionByHookup: Mav tries to pick up a random blonde at a bar near the base. Next day the blonde, Charlie, is briefing him and the other Top Gun students on the performance differences between the [=MiG-28=] and the American planes standing in for them. After he corrects her on something her intel says the 28 can't do but he saw it pull off:--> '''Charlie:''' You never told me you were a famous [=MiG=] insulter.\\'''Maverick:''' Would it have made a difference?\\'''Charlie:''' Not in the ladies room, no.* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: Iceman.* JoinTheArmyTheySaid: Retroactively, it was discovered that the film made an incredible recruitment tool for the Navy. However, one must be an ''officer'' to fly.* JustPlaneWrong:** Very much so. Most notably, all combat takes place within what the military would consider spitting distance; the flame-out scene, which is a [[TruthInTelevision real defect of the F-14]], should have happened much earlier than it did. In all fairness, the military pilots doing the flying pointed this out, and the filmmakers agreed to try shooting actual aerial combat. The result was that you couldn't ''see'' anything, and RealLife bowed to RuleOfCool.** During the dogfight scene, the [=MiGs=] are shown repeatedly firing their gatling guns. Not only are there no air superiority [=MiGs=] that have gatling guns, but the guns are shown almost fully exposed so that the barrels can be seen rotating. Modern fighters that do have gatling guns (actually rotary cannons) carry them internally, within the fuselage, so as not to interfere with the air flow over the plane. The cannons actually fire through a small opening and none of the cannon is exposed.** There is no such plane as the [=MiG-28=]. Even if there was, Mig naming traditions mean that it would be a odd-number (mig doesn't do even numbers).* LoveTheme: Berlin's "Take My Breath Away", which plays pretty much anytime Maverick and Charlie are together. * MilitaryMaverick: Call sign "Maverick".* MissileLockOn: Constantly during the aerial combat scenes. Ironically, most of the dogfights in the film take place INSIDE the minimum effective range of the missiles carried by the aircraft in the film, as noted by several characters when 'switching to guns', yet they go back to missiles by the time they actually fire.* NiceGuy: Goose, in spades. A devoted family man, liked by everyone, and pretty much the only one who can rein his impetuous partner in. [[spoiler: Naturally, he dies two-thirds of the way through the film.]]* NintendoHard: The NES video game, thanks to those bloody difficult carrier landings.* NomDeGuerre: All of the aviators. Gets a LampshadeHanging when Maverick [[WhoNamesTheirKidDude introduces himself this way to a stranger.]]* NoodleIncident: Apparently one reason Mav's still just a lieutenant (besides being a BunnyEarsLawyer) is because he [[TheGeneralsDaughter hit on an admiral's daughter]] at one point. Or something to that effect.* NumberTwo: Jester to Viper.* OhCrap: Wolfman's reaction to learning he's up against Viper, as well as Goose's** Maverick and Goose's reaction when they realize that their new instructor is the woman they'd tried to hit on the night before.* OnlyKnownByTheirNickname: Goose's actual name is never stated onscreen. Everyone, even his wife, just calls him Goose. His real name was [[spoiler:Nick Bradshaw.]]* PlotDrivenBreakdown: The carrier's catapult breaks down in the climax, preventing the launch of more aircraft to assist Maverick and Iceman.* PunctuatedForEmphasis: Maverick was already upset at Charlie for dressing him down for pushing the envelope at a training exercise debriefing. It didn't help that she nearly hit two cars [[CarChase trying to follow him afterward]].-->'''Maverick:''' JESUS CHRIST! And you think ''I'm'' reckless?! When ''I'' fly, I'll have you know that '''''MY CREW! AND MY PLANE! COME FIRST!'''''* RatedMForManly: And...''HOW''!* RedOniBlueOni: Maverick and Iceman. Maverick and Goose.* TheRival: Iceman for Maverick, who doesn't like Maverick's habit of abandoning his wingmen. Ice wins the Top Gun trophy, but Mav eventually earns his respect [[spoiler:in the final battle when he at last learns to never abandon his wingman thereby saving Iceman's ass]].* RunningGag: The Air Boss can't seem to keep his coffee in the cup when Maverick "buzzes the tower".** "I'm sorry, I hate it when he/she/it does that."* ScrewTheRulesImDoingWhatsRight: Also an EstablishingCharacterMoment, in the beginning, Maverick aborts his landing to help the badly-shaken Cougar land his plane even though he's low on fuel himself.* SecondPlaceIsForLosers: Viper says it best during orientation:--> "Gentlemen, this school is about combat. There are no points for second place."* SerenadeYourLover: Featuring "You've Lost That Lovin' Feeling", albeit for a one-night stand than a lover.* ShirtlessScene: Beach volleyball.* ShownTheirWork: With certain exceptions made because of RuleOfCool, this movie is a pretty accurate portrayal of US Naval aviation.** Special mention goes to the accident resulting in [[spoiler: Goose's death]]; both the engine flameout due to jetwash and the danger to the RIO of ejecting during a flat spin are known faults of the F-14A.* SlapSlapKiss: The relationship between Maverick and Charlie, especially at first.** In real life, TomCruise and [=Kelly McGillis=] despised each other.* SmallRoleBigImpact: Cougar. It's because of his HeroicBSOD in the beginning that Maverick and Goose get to go to Top Gun.* TechnicianVersusPerformer: Iceman and Maverick, respectively. It's ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin.* TheyCallMeMisterTibbs: When Maverick and Goose first meet Iceman and Slider at the bar, Slider says, "It's Mr. Iceman to you."* TimeMarchesOn: ** The Top Gun school left Miramar years ago. It's now based in Nevada under a different name and teaches both air combat -and- ground-attack.** F-14s, which feature so prominently in the film, have all been retired from service with the Navy. While the A-4 as a aggressor has also been retired, the navy still uses the bad guys plane the Mig28 (in reality the F-5)for aggressor combat.** Despite still being a minority, it would now be very unusual for absolutely no women to be seen serving aboard a carrier.** The USS ''Enterprise'' has since been deactivated. * TragicBromance: [[spoiler: Goose dies in a training accident, and Maverick almost dies on the inside.]]* WeaponsUnderstudies: A-4s and F-5s for [=MiGs=]. A-4s and F-5s were chosen by the actual [=TOPGUN=] training seminar for "Dissimilar Air Combat Training," which is military jargon for, "We can't get real [=MiGs=], but these planes can be modified to have have similar flight characteristics of just about any soviet fighter (the f-5 interestedly enough is still the most maneuverable fighter in subsonic flight in the US military except for thrust vectoring planes), so they'll do." They did actually have some Russian planes in the Constant Peg program, but its existence was classified at that time.* WellDoneSonGuy: Inverted. [[spoiler: Maverick's dad died in air combat, and Maverick is constantly reassuring himself that his father was, indeed, the ace that he has told himself since childhood. Viper, whose role is partly BigBrotherMentor, eventually assures him that this was the case.]]* WhatTheHellHero: Viper chews out Maverick over breaking the Top Gun rules of engagement and his flyby after the first hop.* WhoNamesTheirKidDude: Nicknames really but the effect is the same.-->'''Charlotte''': I'm Charlotte Blackwood. -->'''Maverick''': I'm Maverick. -->'''Charlotte''': Did your mother not like you? -->'''Maverick''': No, it's my call sign. ----

ISBN 1610651472. Jazz.
This book focuses on the key elements of the Django Reinhardt Gypsy jazz or jazz Manouche guitar style. The information revealed here was gleaned from years of experience jamming with French Gypsies and studying with masters of the style. A native of France, Stephane Wrembel acquired his skills entirely by ear and has taught scores of musicians worldwide using the method that appears here in text and notation for the first time. Written in English, German and French with all musical examples in standard notation and tablature, Wrembel conveys his knowledge in a logical step by step manner, exposing the reader to the authentic Manouche style as it continues to evolve in France and Holland. Medium to advanced in difficulty, this method is designed for the guitarist who is already familiar with jazz harmony and note locations on the fretboard.

LeBron James' decision to return to the Cleveland Cavaliers has cost him a couple of friends in the form of NBA rookies.
Philadelphia 76ers big man Joel Embiid exhausted every effort to recruit LeBron to the City of Brotherly Love. Embiid then blocked the superstar on Twitter for not responding to any of his tweets and finally admitted defeat Friday.
Now it's Shabazz Napier's turn to show his disappointment in LeBron.
LeBron made it well-known during the NCAA tournament that he's a huge fan of the UConn point guard, so when the Miami Heat traded for Napier shortly after the Charlotte Hornets drafted him 24th overall last month, it was certain the team made the move in an effort to keep King James in South Beach.
That plan didn't work out as planned for the Heat, or for Napier, who thought he'd be playing alongside the four-time NBA MVP, so he decided to completely move on from LeBron. After following the superstar on Twitter right after being drafted, Napier recently unfollowed LeBron and deleted any and all tweets he had sent him since the news came out that he reportedly had signed a two-year deal with the Cavs.
This class of rookies is all about the tough love.

Dissing God: The Myth of Religious Neutrality in a Secular Progressive Culture
Product Description
Our challenge is to understand the basis for the principles in legal and political issues and then choose the one that best corresponds to reality. The book analyzes the different systems of looking at reality to see which system best conforms to fact and reason. The author brings to the table different emotional, political, and legal issues and discusses them to determine from which worldview they come from. The conclusion is that the theistic system, and orthodox Christianity in particular, provides the best foundation for a civil society that seeks to promote liberty and virtue together.

Publisher's Description
DISSING GOD, by "Wallace Auser," is written for the thinking Christian who passionately care about the political and legal direction America is taking and is tired of being asked to be an intellectual schizophrenic .This myth that a person, a legal system, a political party, or a government can be religiously neutral in today's secular progressive culture is pure nonsense.
As a practicing lawyer for over thirty years, Auser states, "God has as much right to be heard on public issues as does secularism and other non-theistic ideas."
Auser brings to the table ethical, political, and legal issues and discusses them to determine the source of these differing world views. The conclusion is that the theistic system (orthodox Christianity in particular), provides the best foundation for a civil society that seeks to promote liberty and virtue together. he wants to give Christians the tools to hold their own in a public dialogue as they base their ethical or political decisions on their theistic beliefs.
Of course, the political correctness police won't like what the author says when he references Jesus' statement by saying. "I am the way, the truth and the life' applies to society's ethics, politics, and law."
Author Bio
WALLACE AUSER is a native and resident of upstate New York. He has maintained a private law practice for over thirty years. Graduating from Cornell University and the College of William and Mary Law School, Mr.Auser has continued self-edifying pursuits through the study of foreign languages, philosophy, theology and societal issues. His appreciation of thoughtful discussions regarding controversial and provocative issues prompted him to write this book. Wallace and his wife, Sharon, are members of an evangelical church.

Sugar provides physical properties such as bulk, structure, moisture, tenderness, and browning. Due to these properties, replacing sugar in baked goods can be tricky. The most difficult recipes to replace sugar are in baked goods such as cookies, cakes, muffins, and brownies. With a few helpful hints using a sugar substitute, like Equal, you will feel comfortable replacing the sugar along with those extra calories and carbohydrates in your recipes! For best results using Equal in your recipes keep these recommendations in mind:Equal works best in recipes where sugar's primary role is for flavoring and sweetening, such as fruit pie fillings and cheesecakes. For added sweetness Equal is great sprinkled on top of cakes and desserts. For recipes such as beverages, smoothies, entrees, sauces, and salad dressings that do not require baking, it may simply be a matter of replacing all the sugar with the proper conversion of Equal to compensate for the sweetness. Use the sweetness conversion chart provided on the website. And, since sweetness in foods is a personal preference simply adjust to your taste. Using a blend of sugar and Equal sweetener provides another opportunity for preparing recipes that are still lower in calories and carbohydrates than a traditional version using all sugar. Using some sugar will help with the bulk, tenderness, moisture and browning properties. Equal will provide the balance of the sweetness. Before using Equal in your own recipes make note of the following tips:Volume Creaming Browning Storage Gluten Development and Moisture Retention Bake Times Texture Measuring |

Hi, I have a MacBook + External Monitor Display setup. Is there anyway when I connect the external monitor that the screen ONLY shows on my big monitor? Right now, I have sort of a dual-display type thing with my big LCD and MB monitor. I want to get rid of that and just have my 22" as the main monitor (when plugged in).
Any ideas? |

I have MBP and use an external display. Sometimes when plugging in or unplugging it goes into external only display. So I tried a few things here's how I got it to work. MBP on and external display on as secondary. Then I closed the MBP to put to sleep. Once it was asleep I opened it then closed it. It woke up and now is closed using the external display as primary. I'm sure there are other ways but that just worked for me.

Gear Review
Where have you been?
I have been looking for a bag like this for a long time. I just spent two nights in the Colorado mountains and carried the bag over 20 miles. I flop around like a fish when I sleep so the room in this bag was great. Weight was a bit of an issue as well as compressability but again, for the room inside this bag, it was an anticipated trade-off. The pad sleeve is awesome as well as the built in pillow sleeve. Now I wish I could find someone with a Big Agnes pillow in stock.
Chu, any input on the warmth and comfort of the bag? Did it keep you warm? what types of temps were you using this bag in?
The bag was super warm. Temperatures got to low 40s. This was a lot of bag for the type, time, and temperature of trip. I didn't regret it one bit though. I sleep cold and uncomfortable but this bag seems to be the cure of that. I've put about 10 nights into it now. The only thing I don't like is how big it is in the stuff sack. I'm looking at a Buffalo Park now to use in warmer temperatures.

United Kingdom Designers 2013 BoF 500 2013 2014 BoF 500 2014
Following the tragic death of Alexander McQueen, his longtime colleague Sarah Burton was charged with continuing the great designer's legacy. Having worked with McQueen for 14 years, Burton has subtly shifted the house's aesthetic, whilst maintaining its iconoclastic codes. This has seen Burton produce collections inspired by apiculture and most recently an episcopal combination of popes, saints and angels.
Burton grew up in Manchester but moved to London to study at Central St Martins. On the recommendation of her tutor, Burton completed a placement year at Alexander McQueen in 1996. She returned following her graduation and was named head of womenswear design after just two years, in 2000. Burton now supervises the creative direction and development of all collections of the brand, which includes women's and men's ready-to-wear and accessories as well as the higher-end contemporary line McQ, which is also made up of women's, men's and accessories collections. In April 2011, Burton received global recognition as the designer of the wedding dress for HRH the Duchess of Cambridge, Catherine Middleton to HRH Prince William.
Burton was awarded an Order of the British Empire for her services to the British fashion industry. In addition, the much-decorated designer has won The Walpole Award for British Luxury Design Talent , Harper's Bazaar Woman of the Year Award and the Designer of the Year Award at the British Fashion Awards.

Description The present invention relates to building construction and more particularly to an advantageous method of designing and constructing an attractive elevator cab at a reduced cost. This elevator cab design method reduces the burden, time commitment and cost of designing, manufacturing and installing a custom elevator cab. Traditional Methods of Cab Selection Traditionally, there are three methods by which an elevator cab design is chosen. The method of selection is usually determined by the quality of the building: Rated from A down to C as illustrated below:
The first method of picking a stock or traditional elevator cab design is usually low cost because the materials are low quality and the engineering is simple. Unfortunately, these cabs are usually unattractive and do not enhance the appearance of the building in which they are installed. Integrated elevator companies that manufacture, install and service elevators, usually have very little incentive to make their cabs attractive by the use of high-quality and decorative materials because they are selling a complete elevator package, and the look of the cab has little influence on the buyer's decision when buying a complete package. The primary advantage of the second method, to replicate another design, is that the look and cost will be fairly well known before the contract is put to bid. This does not mean that the buyer is getting good value, because if the original is a poorly designed cab, the copy will be no better and may be quite expensive. The third method, creating a new design, may enhance the attractiveness of a building. However, most architecturally designed cabs are very expensive because the engineering for each one is largely customized and the buying power for material is low. In addition, lead times are very long because of the need for approvals of drawings and samples, plus the acquisition time for material and the time for making shop drawings. Applicant proposes to change the way elevator cabs are designed by providing a series of elevator cab designs of high architectural quality that are made with premium, readily available materials and pre-engineered to reduce the cost and lead time. Applicant's advantageous design method provides for selection of attractive and advantageous designs for elevator cabs for commercial, residential and institutional buildings. Applicant supplies engineering and manufacturing expertise to guide the architectural design decisions and material selection that minimize the material and labor costs that do not directly contribute to the appearance and structural integrity of the cab. Applicant's method will also control the product cost by choosing from a material palette of high-end products such as glass, stone, wood and textured metals in a limited range. These materials have been selected for their attractive appearance, reasonable cost and ready availability. This will maximize the buying power for acquiring these materials at the lowest costs. Building owners will save money by getting a product that costs as much as 25% less than cabs of similar materials and design would costs. They will be given the advantage of having a superior product in their buildings that will allow them to rent space more quickly and at higher prices. With a limited palette of materials and photo-realistic renderings of interior elevator cab design, the time-consuming project management of coordinating drawings, samples and mockups between the owner, architect and cab maker are reduced dramatically. Standard pricing and industry discounts will lock in a profit margin that does not become reduced by unforeseen extras. The lead time for the cab can be eight weeks, with as much as a 40% cut, reducing the likelihood that overtime will be needed due to scheduling conflicts. Architects and consultants usually loose money on the cab because of the technical complexity and lengthy approval process. Now an architect and designer will be able to select with confidence from world-class designs and elegant materials. New Method Provides a New Financing Tool by an Operating Lease In launching this product, Applicant has found creative ways to maximize the sales volume. One new area of interest is to change the transaction for the end user from a large lump-sum capital investment into an affordable and predictable expense. By offering these cabs through an operating lease, Applicant believes that there will be a three-fold benefit to the business:
This invention discloses a method for drastically reducing the burden, time commitment and cost for designing, managing and installing a custom elevator cab. This method provides a way to upgrade the quality of the cab materials, design and craftsmanship and at the same time reduce the costs of an elevator cab by 33%. Real estate developers, building owners, architects, elevator companies and consultants can save time and money by ordering a custom elevator cab that could be viewed in advance and installed in only eight weeks. The design method criteria takes into consideration the need for utilizing premium materials for the walls and ceiling without adding more than 300 pounds to the weight of the elevator cab. This method provides a solution for a cab that is 1) Innovative, 2) Custom made, 3) Time saving, 4) Easy to specify, 5) Easy to price, 6) Easy to install. Material to be chosen include stone, wood, glass and woven wire mesh. These materials can be used in hundred of different combinations. Furthermore, using these materials allows you to complement any commercial, institutional or residential building's intrinsic design. Also, this method allows the incorporation of existing lobby materials or upgrades. This method provides affordability without compromising quality. The cost of the average elevator cab using Applicant's design is 30% less compared to a custom design using the same material palette. This can equal a savings averaging $7,500 per cab. In addition, the design incorporates a lighter weight construction so that expensive elevator design modifications required by excess weight are eliminated. This advantageous method of elevator cab design provides an attractive appearance complementary to a building in which the elevator is installed. The building is evaluated for determination of appropriate elevator cab interior design architecture and appearance. A suitable design is selected from a Series of previously prepared design proposal. Finally, material for the decoration of the cab interior is selected for the design from a palette of previously prepared options for available material including selection of material type, color and design. The Material Palette Option materials include wood, metal mesh, stone and glass and the material shown for selection from said palette include rectangular panel tiles. The material shown for selection from the palette for a decorative back rear panel includes a back wall panel which extends from floor to ceiling in height and extends to more than ⅓ of the width of the elevator. The remaining portion of the back rear wall of the cab is selected from rectangular panel tiles with decorative surfaces. The side walls of the cab are selected from said materials palette of rectangular panel tiles with decorative surfaces of the same design and color as the rectangular panel tiles on the back wall. The method of elevator interior cab design includes providing the expertise of experienced designer for selecting a suitable design from a Series of design proposals for said building and providing the expertise of experienced designer for selecting the material for the decoration of the cab interior from a palette of options for available material type and color. This method of elevator interior cab design provides expertise in elevator cab design architecture and elevator cab mechanical construction. The expertise is used to evaluate a building for determination of an appropriate elevator interior design. The expertise is used to select a suitable design from a Series of previously prepared design proposals. The expertise is than used for selecting the material for the decoration of the cab interior from a palette of options for available material type and color. This expertise is than used to construct an elevator cab interior in accordance with the design and material selected. Three Designs There are three basic designs to select from:
This design exhibits a center feature panel which aligns with a bi-level ceiling featuring both direct and indirect lighting. Complementary side wall and rear wall panels complete the elegant design. The Series 300 This paneled cab design features a traditional wainscot with the upper panels in either identical or complementary materials. The suspended ceiling is luminescent and segmented to align with the walls. The Series 400 This unique corner-column design is carried into the suspended ceiling. The center of the rear wall features segmented panels of complementary materials. The top of the wall panels are defined by an elegant metal grill. The cab is lit by halogen downlights mounted on a suspended ceiling. The Design By utilizing the designs we have created, the client reduces the design phase by eliminating the need for concept drawings, models and design review. This savings translates not only in shorter time frames, but fewer design hours and lower costs. Building owners will benefit by participating in the selection and specification of designs because the process is transparent and easy to grasp. The Selection/Purchase Process A simplified ordering process will yield a quotation in 24 hours. A full color presentation is available within one week. As shown in In In Similarly Another variation of a Series 200 is shown in Example of Use of Series 300 Custom designed and constructed cab by world class architects exceeded budget and weight by 50% and lead time by an additional eight weeks. Working with the customer, the Applicant used the design method to incorporate the custom approved color palette into the Series 200 design. The new design was under budget and weight restrictions and within the required lead time. It took two weeks from the initial meeting for redesign and approval. Sample of Use of 300 Series Major institutional property owner had not hired architect to design the cab. Problem Wanted high quality cab completed in four months. Solution Working from the Applicant's design method catalog the customer found the appropriate design from the illustrations of Major institutional property owner sought to upgrade an unpleasant looking elevator interior. Problem Although approved, the initial design did not proceed due to budget constraints with the building. Solution Two years later, Applicant's method was introduced and a Series 400 design was selected. Material was selected from the Material palette. The original budget was lowered by $7,300 per cab A building owner hired an 1,800-person architecture and interior design firm to do a visual modernization of the six passenger elevators in this prime Eastern large city property. The architect's design was put out for bid. Applicant's bid, which was competitive, was for more than $30,000 per cab with a manufacturing lead time of 16 weeks. The design by the architect also added more than 500 pounds to the weight of the cab, which would require an expensive re-balancing of the counterweights by the elevator company. Applicant than introduced the building owner to its design method using Designer Series 200 cab designs. Using the same primary materials and finishes as the architect, Applicant was able to provide a cab priced at less than $25,000, with a manufacturing lead time of 8 weeks while adding less than 300 pounds to the weight of the elevator cab, thereby avoiding a re-balancing. It took the owner and Applicant only one face-to-face meeting and less than two weeks to select and approve the interior design for the cabs. In early September, a building owner of an upscale suburban office building decided to go ahead with a visual modernization of six passenger elevator cabs. However, they only had until the end of December to complete the entire project due to capital budget requirements. Normally, selecting an architect, designing the cabs and putting them out to bid would be a 3�4 month project. With the need for 14�16 weeks for an elevator cab company to submit drawings for approval, then manufacture and install the product, the building owner was out of time for such a traditional approach. Applicant presented the building management with its design method using the Designer Series 200 cab designs. A half-day survey of the existing cabs determined that a Series 200 cab would fit without a problem The building management was able to select stock materials from the Applicant's material palette and get a quote and photo-quality rendering of their design within a week. The building owner approved the project within a week so that their cabs could be installed before the end of the year. For more than three years, a building owner struggled to find an acceptable plan to visually modernize the 23 passenger elevators in a classic �cathedral of commerce� style building. The existing cabs were done in an unpleasant plastic laminate design that was entirely inappropriate. Despite a number of design attempts using both in-house and outside professionals, the building owner was unable to come up with a design that was architecturally attractive while still keeping the overall cost down. Applicant had worked with the building owner all along the way but only as a cab manufacturer and therefore could only provide reasons. Finally, Applicant unveiled its design method to the building owner a design and its Designer Series 200 cab design to senior management of the building owner. In just two meetings, the building owner selected materials and approved the project at just over $20,000 per cab, well within the budget for this building.

President Obama: Who is this Charlie?Last Sunday, at the great Paris rally, the whole world was Charlie. By Tuesday, the veneer of solidarity was exposed as tissue thin.

Chris Freind: A look back at the boneheads of 2014It's time again to reflect on those who made life more interesting over the past year through their incomprehensible actions. In other words, the biggest boneheads of 2014: |
Building more trust through the InternetTrust -- society depends on it. |
As for murdered cops, who is really responsible?The cold-blooded murder of two New York City policemen as they sat in their car is not only an outrage but also a wake-up call. It shows, in the most painful way, the high cost of having demagogues, politicians, mobs and the media constantly taking cheap shots at the police. |
Is the American dream really dead?Last month, a professor of economics at the University of California, Davis made some headlines by basically asserting that there is no American dream. It's a myth. He crunched the numbers, supposedly disproving it. |

New books make excellent Christmas giftsThis year, Christmas shopping may be an especially welcome respite from the ugly events going on across the country, as mobs take to the streets because grand juries that examined evidence reached different conclusions from those reached by mobs who made up their minds without examining that evidence. |
Ready for Hillary and Jeb to declare their independence?If you need proof that upward mobility in America is increasingly elusive, consider the prospect of a Hillary Clinton-Jeb Bush presidential race. A second President Clinton or a third President Bush would send the depressing message that Barack Obama's classic American Dream ascent was a fluke. |
How to fight the terroristic lone wolvesThe lone wolf is the new national nightmare, dramatized and amplified this week by the hostage-taking attack in Sydney, Australia. But there are two kinds of lone wolves -- the crazy and the evil -- and the distinction is important. |
It's all upbeat at the White HouseWASHINGTON -- After a grueling year that cost Democrats the Senate majority, the mood at the White House is remarkably chipper. The hyper-competitive president put post-election points on the board with an executive order on immigration, a historic overhaul of Cuba policy, and a spending bill that, while flawed, managed to fund administration priorities and provide a year of certainty. |
Dionne: Obama may be a lame duck but he's not powerlessWASHINGTON -- Politics in a democracy is a team sport that leans heavily on individual high performers. This explains the paradoxical closing of President Obama's most difficult year in office. |
Government givers are hurting capitalism systemIt's the season for giving. That doesn't mean it's the season for government. |
Politically Uncorrected: The age of Tom WolfIt's not often that someone's greatest wish and worst nightmare occur at the same time, but for Governor-elect Tom Wolf both are fated to occur the same day, hour and minute. |
We need to talk about gunsThe medical community has been no match for the National Rifle Association for decades. By the time Congress leaves town for the holidays, we'll know if senators have shown an ounce of courage or if the NRA has bagged one more trophy. |
Feinstein's travesty of a report on the CIAThe report by Democrats on the Senate Intelligence Committee regarding CIA interrogation essentially accuses the agency under George W. Bush of war criminality. Committee Chair Dianne Feinstein appears to offer some extenuation when she reminds us in the report's preamble of the shock and "pervasive fear" felt after 9/11. |
The cheerfulness and importance of U.S. tax reformIf America's long-term economic growth were 3.5 percent, the result would be the restoration of cheerfulness. If long-term growth is closer to 2 percent, the result will be continuing social disappointment and political crankiness. |
Campus hysteria fed by irresponsible media and activistsRolling Stone magazine has now apologized, sort of, for publishing a lurid account of a gang rape at a fraternity at the University of Virginia that -- it has become increasingly clear -- never happened. |
Small Talk: Remember your rest stop etiquette when travelingFor those enrolled in the witness protection program, highway rest stops might be a good place to hide out. |
Chris Freind: The bottom line on torture techniquesTo say the killing of Osama bin Laden created a patriotic euphoria would be a gross understatement. Spontaneous celebrations broke out across the nation. The image of thousands chanting "U-S-A" from Ground Zero was simply awe-inspiring. |
Will latest report prevent torture tactics in the future?Can we now say with confidence that our government will not use torture again and that Americans in the future will rise up to prevent it from doing so? In light of the reaction to the Senate Intelligence Committee's report, I fear that we can't. |
There's another side to the climate catastrophe storyPeople argue about whether the "consensus" of scientists is that we face disaster because of global warming. Instead of debating whether man's greenhouse gasses will raise temperatures, we should argue about how we gauge disasters. |
A plague of overcriminalizationBy history's frequently brutal dialectic, the good that we call progress often comes spasmodically, in lurches propelled by tragedies caused by callousness, folly or ignorance. With the grand jury's as yet inexplicable and probably inexcusable refusal to find criminal culpability in Eric Garner's death on a Staten Island sidewalk, the nation might have experienced sufficient affronts to its sense of decency. |
Chris Freind: GOP Needs courage, brains and heart to solve immigration crisisDear Wizard Of Oz: Since we are in the season of giving, perhaps you could see fit to bestow upon the Republican Party the three gifts for which you are best known: Brains, courage and a heart. With its newly gained congressional power, the GOP is once again locked in the immigration battle, but, as usual, is doing so without the benefit of common sense and political savvy. |
Our freedom depends on the rule of lawThe fiasco of "Rolling Stone" magazine's apology for an unsubstantiated claim of gang rape at a University of Virginia fraternity house -- and the instant rush to judgment of the university administration in shutting down all fraternities, when those charges were made -- should warn us about the dangers of having serious legal issues dealt with by institutions with no qualifications for that role. |
The plunging gasoline prices ... how low will they go?Some of you may remember when a loaf of bread was a quarter, or a gallon of milk was less than a dollar. Inflation is typically a one way street. Our children and grandchildren will one day wistfully recall when a new video game was "only" $60. |
Looks like Hillary Clinton has lost that 'new car' smellThere was something in the air before Hillary Clinton addressed Georgetown University students last Wednesday, but it definitely wasn't a new-car smell. |
Frenzy in Ferguson led and fed by media circus activistsAs the curtain closes on the latest episode of "Ferguson," the media series, it is fair to wonder whether events might not have spiraled out of control to the extent they did had the media settled on another topic. |
Another case for term limitsIn 2010, Plymouth, Conn., was awarded $430,000 for widening sidewalks and related matters near two schools. This money was a portion of the $612 million Congress authorized for five years of the federal Safe Routes to School program intended to fight childhood obesity by encouraging children to burn calories by walking or biking to school. |
Talking past each other on race relations in AmericaThe events in Ferguson, Mo., have actually led to that national conversation on race we regularly recommend to ourselves. But it is the same conversation we always have: not a dialogue but entirely separate discussions in which participants reinforce each other in the views they had going in. |
Indigestion over the Obama girlsOn the subject of the Obama girls' supposedly disrespectful behavior at the Thanksgiving turkey pardoning: not even close to unpardonable. As my teenage daughters would say to the Republican congressional staffer who took to Facebook to take off after Sasha and Malia: Hello? Have you, like, ever even met a teenager? |
Opinions vs. the facts amid an orgy of anarchyEveryone seems to have an opinion about the tragic events in Ferguson, Missouri. But, as Daniel Patrick Moynihan used to say, "You're entitled to your own opinion but you're not entitled to your own facts. |
The Bill Cosby show as presented by social mediaBy now, most Americans probably have formed an opinion about what comedian Bill Cosby did or didn't do sexually to or with at least 16 women beginning in the 1960s. |
Ferguson: A case that remains an enigmaThe grand jury's decision not to indict Ferguson, Mo., police officer Darren Wilson in the shooting of teenager Michael Brown was the worst possible outcome -- except for one in which passion overwhelmed facts and Wilson was forced to stand trial despite a lack of adequate evidence. |
The imperial Congress must deal with Obama's powerPresident Obama issued a veto threat last week against a corporate tax-cutting orgy that promised the world to many powerful interests but did little for the middle class and nothing for low-income Americans. |
George Will: A case for presidential self-restraintFor every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction. -- Newton's Third Law of Motion |
What happened to the middle class?I recently read the Labor Day message which President Eisenhower gave to the nation in 1959. Here is some of what he said. |
Freind: Ferguson is entirely about black and whiteRight on cue, Ferguson erupted in chaos after the "No Indictment" grand jury verdict. |
Politically Uncorrected: Is the eight- year cycle dead?Elections always leave some unfinished business. Tom Wolf's historic win over incumbent Tom Corbett is no exception. Why Wolf won has been discussed widely and fully analyzed. The remaining unfinished business is assessing what his victory means for Pennsylvania's legendary "Eight-Year Cycle": the heretofore unbroken cycle of gubernatorial victories going back 60 years in which Democrats and Republicans exchanged the governor's office exactly every eight years. |
A legacy of liberalism has hurt the black communitySupreme Court Justice Oliver Wendell Holmes said there were "phrases that serve as an excuse for not thinking." One of these phrases that substitute for thought today is one that depicts the current problems of blacks in America as "a legacy of slavery. |
A confession: Obamacare is a pack of liesIt's not exactly the Ems Dispatch (the diplomatic cable Bismarck doctored to provoke the 1870 Franco-Prussian War). But what the just-resurfaced Gruber Confession lacks in world-historical consequence, it makes up for in world-class cynicism. |
Cynical politics drives president's unlawful actions on immigrationPresident Obama is expected to act in the next few days to grant legal status to millions of illegal immigrants, fulfilling a promise he made before the election. Giving legal status to people who have lived and worked in the United States for a decade or more, paid taxes, kept out of trouble, contributed to their local economies, and raised children who are American citizens is the right and moral thing to do. |
Chris Freind: Obstructionism won't serve Republicans wellThe Republicans had their biggest romp since 1931, which brings up the $64,000 question: Now what? |
Rethinking and updating America's foreign policyBarack Obama's coming request for Congress to "right-size and update" the Authorization for Use of Military Force (AUMF) against terrorism will be constitutionally fastidious and will catalyze a debate that will illuminate Republican fissures. |
Blurred lines of sexual encounters on college campusesThe line between consensual sex and sexual assault is not always comfortably clear. Especially when alcohol is involved. Especially in the context of the college hook-up culture. |

Youth group benefits from Lions' donation
"According to president Bob Clay, the Coupeville Lions Club usually prefers to do its community service work quietly and behind the scenes. This month, however, they have something to roar about.The club recently made three separate donations to the Central Whidbey Youth Coalition, a nonprofit group that sponsors the popular Late Nite Central and After-the-Facts programs for youth in Coupeville. Last fall, the Lions targeted $200 to go to the Central Whidbey Youth Coalition to support youth programs. They also offered to hold a raffle for a dollhouse, and to pass the proceeds along. The raffle brought in $574. And then, in December, long-time Lion George Hammett made a $5,000 donation to the Lions Foundation, targeted for the Central Whidbey Youth Coalition. As a result, the Coalition has received a total of $5,774 to support its programs and services. Central Whidbey Youth Coalition president Janet Wodjenski said the funding is a tremendous boost at a time when grant funds for youth programs are dwindling. Clay noted that the Coupeville Lions historically have worked to maintain links to young people through support for programs like History Day, student of the quarter recognition, scholarships and the Skills for Life substance abuse prevention curriculum in the schools. This donation represents one more link. "

"Upon further review, the ruling on the field (court)…" These are the words stated by referees after they've gone to the reply booth (monitor) in order to clarify a controversial call. Often, the reason for the review is because of a coach's challenge. Therefore, in the same light, let us review the case of LA Clippers owner, Donald Sterling.
There can be no debate that the words of Mr. Sterling were reprehensible and disgusting. But how and why did these words come to light now, when his points of view were apparently well-known for many years?
It seems his "girlfriend," Ms. Stiviano, decided to tape a private conversation between the two. Apparently, Ms. Stiviano had recently been sued by the estranged wife of Mr. Sterling, so there is some potential nefarious motive involved. Furthermore, the taping of a conversation without consent of the other party is illegal under California statute. There is some question as to whether he knew he was being recorded. Let's assume for the moment he didn't.
The national outrage against Mr. Sterling has come from an act that could be illegal and inadmissible in a court of law. Nevertheless, the court of public opinion has tried and convicted Mr. Sterling of being a jerk.
But have we come to a point in America where being a jerk is grounds for confiscation of a private property? It was Englishman John Locke who first proposed that individual rights as granted under natural law were life, liberty, and property. It was Thomas Jefferson who in the American Declaration of Independence used that paradigm to propose our unalienable rights from our Creator being life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. Sterling's comments were repulsive, but they were stated in the privacy of his own home — at least he thought it was private.
So where do we go from here?
Have we come to the point that private conversations can be taped and released in the public domain in order to ruin the livelihood –pursuit of happiness — of private citizens? Ms. Stiviano, or whomever, knew exactly what they wanted the end result to be as they released this tape to TMZ.
Is this the "new normal?" Is this a violation of our privacy rights? Ok, so what types of conversations occur in the privacy of the NBA locker rooms, or the homes of the players? Yes, this is indeed a slippery slope as Dallas Mavericks owner Mark Cuban asserted.
Fox News host and commentator Greg Gutfeld applauded this moment because of the consensus outrage being displayed. But I believe this outrage misplaced, or more accurately, mis-prioritized. NBA Commissioner Adam Silver said Sterling's behavior was "dangerous to the NBA."
Where is the cultural, public outrage over a behind closed door comment such as referring to the State of Israel as an "apartheid state?" Probably most of America doesn't know who said it or even what "aparteid" means.
Or how about the outrage that should have come when our own president leaned over to then-Russian President Medvedev sayng, "Tell Putin that after my reelection I will have more flexibility" and of course Medvedev said, "I will tell Vladimir." And now we know what that "flexibility" has allowed.
Aren't those "private" chats reflective of behavior that is dangerous for the United States?
Or how about the lies and deceit of President Obama on healthcare and of course Benghazi, which we now know a video had nothing to do with.
Has our culture devolved to the point that the private statements of an NBA owner draws more outrage than the lies and deceit of the President of the United States?
Donald Sterling's behavior is despicable, but so is that of President Barack Hussein Obama — and whose abhorrent behavior has more impact on our country?
The difference is that the media lead us along like sheep to the slaughter, turning us into reactionary, shallow thinking, low information voters along the way. We know more about Sterling than Benghazi — or the IRS scandal.
Sterling is a jerk, an unlikeable fella, but is he guilty of a crime that demands his property be confiscated? Uh, no.
We're told however that Obama is a likable fella –regardless of the incessant lies, deceit and abject failures. What is happening to American culture and values?
