In many arts, and especially in the textile industry, it is necessary to change one or more colors in an original pattern. In the textile industry, for example, the following problem is presented:
Given a swatch of material of a certain geometric design and color combination, is there a simple, quick and economically viable means by which a fabric user or designer can explore and specify other color variations of that particular geometric design?
The fabric industry currently solves this problem in a variety of ways, all of which introduce costly delays that the end user would like to eliminate. According to one procedure, a handwoven sample is made by a mill for submission to a clothing manufacturer. A reason for this practice derives from the fact that in the production of designs for woven fabrics no accurate idea of the appearance of the finished fabric can be obtained from drawings or paintings, except such as reproduce with enormous labor the most minute details of the textile. So great would the labor be in the production of adequate drawings and paintings that in practice another accepted procedure has been, once the weaving scheme is decided on, to set up a loom for the production of a number of color combinations from which are selected those which seem most suitable for the purpose for which the cloth is to be used. Alternatively, the manufacturer notifies the mill of the desired colors and the mill then hand-weaves another sample. This is also costly, as well as time consuming. Moreover, it is often found that the colors selected by the manufacturer, when woven in the original pattern, do not produce the desired aesthetic effect. It is then necessary to repeat the entire process.
It has been proposed to take a separate photographic negative of each of all the parts of a basic design and produce positive transparencies from the negatives, project beams of light through the several positives so as to reproduce the configuration of the basic design, and color the individual beams, varying their individual colors at will until the reproduced design has a desired appearance. U.S. Pat. Nos. 1,657,415 (Smith) and 1,788,135 (Twyman et al) describe such a scheme. In Twyman et al it is proposed to weave a fabric from threads of red, green and blue, these colors being so selected that they can be photographed through filters which would suppress in turn any two of the three colors. This scheme has the inherent problem of registration.
In the invention now to be described, the art of producing patterns (or designs) of differently-colored zones (or components) occupying mutually-exclusive areas is advanced to a state in which a replica of the pattern can be constructed in a manner such that each individual zone of the pattern can be given arbitrarily any desired intensity of any desired color or hue, including black or white (which for purposes of the invention may be regarded as colors), it being understood that the term "intensity" as applied to black or white includes "gray". According to a general method of the invention, each component (or zone) is enabled to be colored independently of the others by first forming a separate record of each component, then encoding each record with a unique spatial carrier, and finally combining all of the so-encoded records to form a replica of the original pattern in which each component is located in its original relation to the other components. The product of this process can be used in a Fourier-transform optical reconstruction apparatus to provide an optical image of the original pattern in which each component can be arbitrarily colored or rendered in black or white (including gray) by properly locating selected filters in the apparatus. Alternatively, the pattern can be reconstructed with components arbitrarily colored using electronic techniques, again from the product of this process. Following is a description of an exemplary embodiment of the invention. This description refers to a textile fabric, but it will be understood that the invention is not so limited, but rather is useful in connection with patterns or designs realized in other media as well.
FIG. 1 schematically illustrates a pattern or design having separate zones each of which may be uniquely colored or rendered in black or white;
FIG. 2 schematically illustrates a replica of FIG. 1 in which each zone is uniquely spatially encoded;
FIG. 3 is a group of intermediate transparencies each replicating one of the zones of FIG. 1;
FIG. 4 is a block diagram representing the process flow for producing the intermediate transparencies of FIG. 3;
FIG. 5 illustrates the process flow for producing the spatially-encoded replica of FIG. 2 from the intermediate transparencies of FIG. 3; and
FIGS. 6 and 6A schematically illustrate an optical Fourier-transform apparatus for reproducing a replica of FIG. 1 with arbitrary color, or black or white in each zone.
FIG. 1 shows in a simplified way a fabric design or a pattern of differently colored components occupying mutually exclusive areas of the total pattern. In this instance, five colors are shown. These are red, blue and green, and white and black which, for the purposes of this invention, are regarded as colors. The pattern, therefore, has five differently colored components, each occupying exclusively an area of the pattern. In practice these colored components will normally be intermixed in a much more complex manner since each color will be that of an individual thread or group of threads woven into the fabric.
According to the present invention, it is desired to make, as by photographic means, a replica of the original pattern in which each colored component is encoded with a spatial carrier as is illustrated by way of example in FIG. 2. Thus, in FIG. 2 each colored component has imposed upon it a diffraction grating oriented at a unique angle relative to diffraction gratings that are imposed upon each of the other colored components. There being five different color components of the pattern, it is convenient to space the gratings about in azimuth by 36�. If FIG. 2 is a transparency, then illumination of it in a reconstruction and projection system of the Fourier-transform type, as is described and illustrated, for example, in U.S. Pat. No. 3,561,859, will enable the source of diffracted light for each of the colored components to be separately located in space, where it can be arbitrarily colored with the use of a filter or filters, as will be explained below, and then the entire design can be reassembled optically in the same or similar apparatus, with each color component bearing an arbitrarily assigned color. In this manner, using a single replica of the original pattern, a designer can examine with facility a virtually infinite variety of color combinations for that design.
The creation of a spatially-encoded replica of the original design is made through steps, some of which are known. FIG. 3 illustrates a group of intermediate transparencies which can be made by techniques that are known, for example, from U.S. Pat. No. 1,788,135, issued Jan. 6, 1931 to F. Twyman et al. FIG. 3 shows five separate transparencies, labelled (A) through (E), respectively. FIG. 3A is a transparency in the form of a photographic positive of the red component of FIG. 1. The portion corresponding to the red component is transparent while the rest of FIG. 3(A) is opaque. In FIG. 3B, also a photographic transparency, the portion corresponding to the white component of FIG. 1 is transparent, the remainder being opaque. In FIG. 3(C), there is shown a green positive in which the portion corresponding to the green component of FIG. 1 is transparent and the remainder is opaque. In FIG. 3(D), a blue positive, the portion corresponding to the blue component of FIG. 1 is transparent and the remainder is opaque. FIG. 3(E) shows a black negative in which the portion corresponding to the black component of FIG. 1 is transparent and the remainder is opaque. A scheme for making the group of intermediate transparencies shown in FIG. 3 is illustrated in FIG. 4.
FIG. 4 shows in block diagram form the general process flow for producing the intermediate transparencies. One should distinguish between the prior-art tricolor separations, and the present five channel separation images. Tri-color separations of the prior art are the conventional black and white transparencies one obtains when copying with standard color separation filters. The red separation negative, for example, will have dark areas corresponding to areas of red, orange, yellow magenta, white or any red-component reflective color. The five channel separation images with which the present invention is concerned are mutually exclusive; that is, the red separation negative will be dark only in exclusively red patches and not in red mixture areas such as white. Steps in the process are numbered from "1" to "10" in the lower right-hand corner of the respective pertinent blocks. The description that follows will refer to these steps by number.
Block 10 represents the swatch of fabric that is to be photographed. Block 11 represents Step 1 entitled "Categorize." The first step refers to an initial inspection of the fabric swatch as a means to generate exposure data. One determines if the sample is a print or a weave, if the surface is diffuse or specular (soft or hard), if the overall reflectivity is high, low or average, if there are no more than five channels, and do the various channels have acceptable spectral reflectivity?
Mounting the swatch -- Step 2 in block 12 -- insures that the proper repeat cycle is copied and that a uniform size is obtained. It may also be desirable to annotate the sample at this step with an identification number and other information designations. The mounting frame should be designed to provide ease of handling in a copy camera, and the frame may contain exposure information gained in the categorization step.
The third step, blocks 13, 14, 15, is carried out with a copy camera having fixed uniform illumination provisions (3200� K) and color separation filters (for red the equivalent of Wratten 25, for green Wratten 58, and for blue Wratten 47B). A graphic arts copy camera of the kind used in the tricolor separation work can be used. Three tricolor separation negatives, representing, respectively, the Red and White, Green and White, and Blue and White, color contents of the fabric swatch will be made in Step 3. The tricolor separation negatives are then contact printed, for example onto Kodalith Ortho film, and suitably developed to produce correspondng separation positives, step 4, in blocks 16, 17, 18, respectively.
Any two of the positives from step 4 are then registered and contact printed to yield a separation negative, step 5, of the white zone, block 19. The same film and processing is used as in Step 4. The white zone negative is reduced to a positive by contact printing, -- step 6 in block 20 -- which corresponds to FIG. 3(B).
The seventh step is to register the white separation negative, block 19, with, in turn, each of the tricolor separation positives, blocks 16, 17, 18, respectively, and make a contact print through each combination, blocks 21, 22, 23, respectively. This eliminates the white zone contributions in the tricolor separations and yields exclusively red, green, and blue zonal separations, which in turn are reversed to positives in the contact prints of the eighth step, -- blocks 24, 25 and 26, respectively, which in turn correspond to FIGS. 3(A), 3(C) and 3(D), respectively.
The ninth step consists of registering the red, green and blue tricolor negatives of blocks 13, 14 and 15 in a contact print to yield the black zone positive, block 27, and in the tenth step a contact print is made to produce the final black zone mask, block 28, which turns out to be a negative, corresponding to FIG. 3(E). That is, the black zone mask is clear in all the black areas and opaque everywhere else.
In the eleventh step, block 30, the five zonal separations in blocks 24, 25, 26, 20 and 28 are sequentially registered and copied in an encoding step, to provide a composite mask like that shown in FIG. 2. This may be done generally according to the printing method described by Carlo Bocca, U.S. Pat. No. 2,050,417 with reference to a set of three tricolor separation diapositives, which correspond to blocks 16, 17 and 18 in FIG. 4 of the present application. However, as Bocca points out in the paragraph on page 1, column 2, starting at line 27, all three systems of ruled lines will appear in those parts corresponding to the white areas of the subject photographed, and in the white parts the structure of the "projection diapositive" will appear as in Bocca's FIG. 1. Further, in the black parts the "projection diapositive" will not contain any ruling. In the present invention, owing to intervention of the steps which create the zonal separations, in blocks 20, 24, 25, 26 and 28, each zone, be it representative of a color or of black or white, has its own exclusive encoding, no zone has two or more encodings in it, and no zone is without any encoding. For encoding purposes, a diffraction grating having 200 lines per millimeter can be used, and the composite mask is made by sequential exposure through it of the five zonal separations, the grating being turned 36� from one exposure to the next. A Ronchi ruling in a metal film supported on a glass substrate for use as the grating.
FIG. 5 illustrates schematically the printing method used in the present invention. At FIG. 5A, the red positive 3(A), the grating 35 and the photographic receptor 36 are aligned for contact printing with the grating oriented at 0�. After exposure of the receptor through the red positive and the grating, the white positive 3(B) is substituted, the grating is turned 36�, and the receptor 36 is exposed through this configuration as shown in FIG. 5B. Next, the blue positive 3(D) is substituted, the grating 35 is turned an additional 36�, and the receptor is exposed through the configuration shown at FIG. 5(C). Next, the black negative 3(E) is substituted, the grating 35 is rotated an additional 36� (to 108�) and the receptor is exposed through the configuration shown in FIG. 5D. Finally, the green positive 3(C) is substituted, the grating is turned to 144�, and the receptor 36 is exposed through the configuration shown in FIG. 5E. Clearly, the order of exposures shown in FIG. 5 is arbitrary, and exemplary only. Whatever the order, it is obvious that each zone is printed on a separate and unique area of the receptor, and no double exposure can occur, assuming of course that proper precautions have been taken to assure registration of the successive zonal separations on the receptor 36. The receptor 36 is preferably a black-and-white photographic material, characterized by high resolution properties, and it is processed to produce a black-and-white transparency having the image configuration shown in FIG. 2.
FIGS. 6 and 6A show an optical display system, similar in principle to that of U.S. Pat No. 3,561,859, which may be used to project on a screen 40 an image of the original pattern or design shown in FIG. 1, and in which each of the separate zones may be given any desired color, in any desired hue and intensity. The system is arranged along an optic axis 41--41. The principal components shown along the axis are a light-source mask 42, color filters 43, a transform lens 44, a slide or transparency 45 which corresponds to the encoded composite mask of FIG. 2, a projection lens 47 fitted with a stop 48, and the screen 40.
The light source mask 42 is shown in plan view in FIG. 6A. To simplify the illustration it is shown as a disc of preferably opaque material having an array of light source apertures 51, 52, 53, 54 and 55 through it. These apertures are arrayed on an arc and spaced 36� apart between pairs of adjacent apertures. Each aperture is at the location of a light source for one of the zones in the pattern, and the angular spacing between apertures corresponds to the angular spacing between grating lines encoding each of the zones. Those skilled in the art will recognize that each light source aperture 51-55, respectively, can have a cognate light source aperture 51.1 to 55.1, respectively, located diametrically opposite it in the disc 42. Likewise, those having such skill will realize that light can be supplied in the apertures either by locating individual lamps in them, or by bringing light into them from a remote source or sources via fiber-optic conductors, as two well-known examples. In any event, the aperture or pair of apertures locating the light source for each zone is fitted with spectral filter means to impart the desired color or hue to that zone. A filter 43 (or a pair of filters 43, 43') is shown in FIG. 6 in the path of light from the first (0�) light source aperture 51 (and its cognate aperture 51.1 if used), which lies in the longitudinal plane of the illustration and includes the axis 41--41. If desired, a neutral density filter, 63 for example, can be included in each light path in order to control the intensity of light in each zone.
If the light source aperture 51 labelled 0� in FIG. 6A is assumed to be located on a diameter running vertically through the disc 45 as seen in FIGS. 6 and 6A, then the transparency 45 will be placed in the system oriented about the axis 41--41 so that the encoded grating lines of the zone that is cooperatively related to that aperture will be disposed horizontally, that is, 90� around the axis relative to that vertical diameter. For convenience, assume that the originally-red zone, marked 0� in FIG. 2, is chosen to have its grating lines oriented horizontally in the display system. Then, as is taught in U.S. Pat. No. 3,561,859, first-order light of the diffraction pattern of the grating encoding that zone will pass on-axis through the projection lens stop 48, and zero-order light will be blocked by the stop. An image of the originally-red zone will be formed on the screen, and this image will look like the "red (+)" transparency in FIG. 3(A). However, with the spectral filter 43, this image can be given any desired color or hue, and with the neutral density filter it can be given any desired intensity.
In like manner, light source aperture 52 and appropriate filter means (not shown) can be used to construct the originally-white zone of the pattern or design in any desired color or hue, and intensity, light source aperture 53 can be used to construct the originally-blue colored zone in any desired color or hue, and intensity, and so forth. Especially unique is the fact that the originally black zone (FIG. 3(E)) can be reconstructed, with the aid of light source aperture 54, in any desired color or hue, and intensity, while any other zone can be reconstructed as black, or white, as desired, by either blocking, or leaving unfiltered spectrally, the light being used to reconstruct it. As is known to those skilled in the art, the grating lines that are used to encode the separated zones of the original design or pattern will not appear in the composite image reconstructed on the screen 40, or in any zonal components of it.
In the example described above, if the master or starting design or pattern configuration is embodied in a woven fabric 10, it will be desirable that the colored threads of the fabric be colored with an opaque ink or dye, and that the spectral range of each color be so narrow that it can be filtered to the substantial exclusion of all the other color components. This will facilitate the preparation of intermediate, or separation, transparencies which have sufficient contrast to yield a composite mask 30 which will give acceptable separation of the respective zones in the display system of FIG. 6. Prior art teachings which employ diffraction gratings to achieve optical separation by means of spatial carriers, like Bocca (cited above) and Thorp's British Pat. No. 11,466 of 1899, do not permit complete zonal separation of components of a pattern, since they contain more than one carrier in a given zone, or have zones with no carrier at all, nor do they recognize any purpose or utility in treating black or white (including gray) as individual "color" zones or components of the pattern.
The embodiments of the invention which have been illustrated and described herein are but a few illustrations of the invention. Other alternative arrangements may be made within the scope of this invention by those skilled in the art. No attempt has been made to illustrate all possible embodiments of the invention, but rather only to illustrate its principles and the best manner presently known to practice it. Therefore, while certain specific embodiments have been described as illustrative of the invention, such other forms as would occur to one skilled in this art on a reading of the foregoing specification are also within the spirit and scope of the invention.

When Good Men in CPP Remain Silent…
Lately in the news has been the suspension of the General Secretary and Youth Leader of the Convention Peoples Party (CPP) under the most bizarre of circumstances. It is believed that they were suspended based on their disagreement with the flag bearer of the Party, Mr. Ivor Kwabena Greenstreet, on the Ford Gift scandal that has rocked Ghana's President, John Dramani Mahama.
The General Secretary of the CPP, Mr. Nii Akomfrah, is said to have called the Flag bearer to order for publicly stating that he doesn't see anything wrong with what many hold as a clear case of conflict of interest, involving the President. Many pundits and anti-corruption crusaders hold that the revelation of the acceptance of a Ford Expedition Gift by the President, from a Burkinabe Contractor Oumarou Jibril Kanazoe, was clearly unethical and an incontestable case of conflict of interest. Mr. Kanazoe was given a road construction contract, after which he gave the said gift and had been invited to bid for another contract by the government of Ghana. However, Mr. Greenstreet disagrees with the anti-corruption crusaders and some sections of his party. He referred to the charges of conflict of interest as 'bogus'.
Subsequent events saw the Youth League of the party taking the issue to the Commission on Human Rights and Administrative Justice (CHRAJ), so that the issue is clarified once and for all. The Youth League of the CPP held that, such an allegation hanging on the image of the Presidency does not cast Ghana in any good light and brings the whole nation into disrepute. They argued that, lack of clarity on issues of corruption encourages other politicians to do same, knowing that the issue will be engulfed in media outcries with no punitive consequences whatsoever. The Youth therefore said they had petitioned CHRAJ on the matter to bring some level of closure and transparency to Ghanaians. This development angered the Flag bearer of the CPP who, during his turn at the IEA Policy Platform, threatened suspension of the Youth League Leader, Commander Ernesto Yeboah.
Notwithstanding Mr. Greenstreet's threat, most Ghanaians were shocked when the Media eventually broke the news on Thursday June 30th that the General Secretary and Youth League Leader had been suspended by the Central Committee of the party, pending their facing the disciplinary committee. The more intriguing aspect of this suspension saga was the fact that interviews with some members of the Central Committee, who were in attendance that day, appeared shocked at the decision. They revealed that the Central Committee meeting had come to an end, and they had left the meeting venue.
However, they revealed citing some members of the Central Committee coming in rather late. They indicated that the decision must have been taken after they left the meeting venue. They explained that the claim by Kadiri Abdul Rauf, The Communications Director of the party, that the decision to suspend the duo was unanimous cannot be entirely true. Interestingly, Mr. Kadiri couldn't disclose to the media the Central Committee member who moved the motion for suspension, nor the seconder. Neither could he provide the exact basis on which they were suspended. Though he was part of the meeting, he said he could only speculate that it was due to the Ford Gift Saga and other charges, which he could not articulate when he was questioned.
The development has left many anti-corruption advocates dumfounded, with the likes of Vitus Azeem, of Ghana Integrity Initiative, accusing Greenstreet of not being fair to Ghanaians. One will recall that Mr. Greenstreet's position on the Ford Saga is in direct contrast to the charges he directed at the National Democratic Congress(NDC) during their national congress in 2014. Some have argued that the suspended officers may have violated the structures and processes of the party. On the other hand, the argument is clearly made that, the flag bearer who dismissed the corruption allegations without consulting the party, and went ahead to issue threats to the suspended Youth Leader, prior to the suspensions, had also clearly flouted party structures, and Justice can't be said to have been done by suspending those who disagreed with him; and his inclination to associate the party with such flagrant tolerance for corruption. Others have made the point that the party would have been better off addressing the issues amicably; rather than suspending those who sought clarity on the alleged issue of corruption or possible conflict of interest regarding the President. This current situation they said clearly doesn't reflect well on the CPP.
Ivor Greenstreet at the NDC Congress In December 2014
Many, as a result of this faux pas, have sort to describe the Central Committee of the CPP as condoning corruption. However, our checks have revealed that, many are the highly placed persons and men of integrity in the CPP's Central Committtee, who could not possibly have condoned the seemingly nefarious decision taken by some members of the Central Committee of the Party.
The decision taken by a section of the Central Committtee is however being made to reflect on the image of these men of high repute, including the likes of Mr. Kwaw Ansah, Dr. Agyeman Badu Akosa, Mr. K.T Dadize, Mr. Ekow Duncan, Danaa Nantogmah, Mr. Kwamena Benyarko, among others.
In order that the image of the CPP is cleared and the party not reduced to a pawn in the scheme of corruption related matters, it is crucial for these men of substance in our society to bring their voices to bear, to ensure that the CPP is not continuously dragged in the mud as a party filled with men and women with affinity for corruption, a clear departure from the party's stated ideology and believes.

Happy, Happy Monday! I hope you all had a nice weekend! If you're just catching up on the Vancouver vacation, check out day 1, days 2 and 3, and days 4 and 5.
Day 6
Day 6 was probably my favorite day of our entire trip. It was fun, adventurous, relaxing, yada yada. While we were on our West Trek tour, our new friends told us that we HAAAAD to go to Lynn Canyon, that there was tons of hiking and cliff jumping.
So when we got back, they invited us to go over there with them. In order to get to Lynn Canyon from downtown Vancouver, you have to take the Seabus (a ferry) and then 2 buses, but it's all for the price of $4.00 If there is one thing that Vancouver does INCREDIBLY well, it's there transportation system. Not only is it $2.75 or $4.00 for most trips, but the fare payment is basically done with the honor system, as they don't have someone readily checking tickets.
Anywho, back to Lynn Canyon. We trekked over there, crossed this huge, scary, swinging foot bridge, and then hiked to the spot where we camped out for the afternoon. Before leaving Vancouver, we asked Winnie (one of our friends) if we should wear sneakers/ if we would be hiking and he said "ooohhh no, not at all!" and then we hiked. a lot. So I walked carefully and then slid down half the rocks while sitting so that I wouldn't slip and fall to my death. No thanks.
Lynn Canyon is HUGE and there were hoards of people jumping, swimming and hiking. It was incredibly beautiful and a lot of fun, even though I didn't do any jumping But Russ did! And he is afraid of heights. The place that we hung out had 4 waterfalls (seen in the above photo) and while there were tons of people making the jumps without abandon, if you're afraid, you're sh!t out of luck because once you make the first jump, the only way down…is to keep jumping. And they say the jumps only get scarier.One of the guys that we went with swore up and down that he WOULD NOT jump, but before we left, he found himself at the top of the falls, jumping from one base to the next. Except for that last jump, where you can't see over the edge of the falls and only see the rock protruding. He spent a good 45 minutes pep-talking himself to jump while we all cheered (and took an abundance of videos…cracking up). He eventually jumped, but not after making multiple attempts to climb back up, like a bear on a mountain hahaha.
I was perfectly happy perched on a big rock, taking selfies and taking videos of everyone else jump. Maybe on a warmer day and a pep talk, I would have jumped. Maybe.
After Lynn Canyon and our adventure back to Vancouver, we went to…COSTCO! For hot dogs and ice cream. It sounds just about as delicious as it was and I'm not being sarcastic! That ice cream with fudge was incredible. I could have eater 3 more. I will..one day. After that little bit of nutrition, we headed back to the hostel to shower and sleep before getting up again to meet up with our friends. It was one girl's birthday so they organized a big game of kickball and hanging out on blankets and cake. It was really, really fun and I even scored 2 points! (but made no other contributions to the team lol it was like being in gym class again. Just as horrific).And we played in a pretty park while the sun set 🙂
Russ and I ended the night with our 3rd trip to Burger King in 12 hours for a 4th Crispy Chicken Sandwich. THEY'RE SO GOOD!!! Just saying.
Day Seven
And on the seventh day, we rested 🙂 But really we had a relaxing day, meandering all over the place. But by relaxing, I mean we walked SO MUCH!! We walked for almost 8 hours, from downtown Vancouver to Granville Island, back to Vancouver, to English Bay and back to the hostel. I was totally wiped, but it was a fun day.
Granville Island is a peninsula and shopping district in Vancouver that has lots of craft and clothing shops and lots of FOOD. We walked around a bit and then bought a bunch of things to eat and share.
He might kill me for putting this on the internet.
There were quite a few sites to see…And beautiful views all along the way.
And colorful produce that I had to take pictures of, naturally.
After walking around mucho, mucho, we took the ferry back to Vancouver and walked all the way to English bay to watch the sunset and have dinner!
English Bay And goof around with these guys!
We ended up having dinner at Robson Mongolian BBQ restaurant, which was absolutely INCREDIBLE. The restaurant had a unique set up in that the way it worked was that for a set price, you were given access to the salad bar, soup, a bowl of rice and a bowl to fill with all the meat, veggies, sauce and noodles that can fit and then they cook it for you. It's like build-your-own, but the only catch is that you have to take only what you can eat, because if you take too much, they charge you for the waste. I loved the concept and would recommend that place 1000x over. For Russ' Yelp review, click here.
I was beyond pooped at the end of the day, but excited for our last day in Vancouver! One more post to go…

TOKYO, May 21 (Reuters) - Japan's Panasonic Corp said on Wednesday it's examining U.S. electric automaker Tesla Motors Inc's plans for a lithium battery factory before the electronics firm decides how much to invest in it.
Yoshio Ito, senior managing executive officer at Panasonic, said that division of responsibilities and share of ownership in the factory would be key factors in its decision. Panasonic had already sent a letter of intent to Tesla, he added.
Tesla is planning to begin building a "gigafactory" in the United States producing lithium batteries from 2017, with the aim of reaching full capacity by 2020. Panasonic, the prime supplier of lithium batteries to the U.S. firm, signed a contract last October to increase its supply to nearly 2 billion battery cells in the four years to 2017.

Soccer-Arsenal's top-four hopes suffer major blow with 3-0 Palace loss
* Arsenal suffered humiliating 3-0 defeat at Crystal Palace
* Forward Andros Townsend stroked home opener in the 17th minute
* Yohan Cabaye curled home a superb second goal after 63 minutes
* Luka Milivojevic added third with a penalty five minutes later
* Arsenal visit Middlesbrough next, Palace host Leicester City
April 10 (Reuters) - Arsenal's hopes of finishing in the Premier League top-four suffered a huge blow as they suffered a humiliating 3-0 defeat at relegation-threatened Crystal Palace on Monday.
Palace, winners of four of their previous five league games, started in confident fashion and opened the scoring when former Tottenham Hotspur winger Andros Townsend swept the ball home at the end of a smart passing move after 17 minutes.
Palace striker Christian Benteke then had a goal ruled out for offside before Yohan Cabaye's superb curled effort and Luka Milivojevic's penalty in five second-half minutes completed a miserable night for Arsene Wenger's struggling side.
Arsenal, who have finished in the top four in 20 consecutive seasons, have 54 points from 30 games -- seven points and two positions behind fourth-placed Manchester City, who have played a game more.
Crystal Palace stay 16th but now have 34 points from 31 matches, six more than Swansea City, who occupy the final relegation place in 18th and have played a game more. (Reporting by Tom Hayward; Editing by Ken Ferris)

If you ever had a college professor who had a profound influence on your career, then you can relate to this Bill Plaschke column in the Los Angeles Times. A very nice read.
Plaschke writes:
His name was Bill Ward. He put down his red pen, tilted his head in my direction, and glared. I was overcome with such fear and insecurity, I blurted out words so bold that even I couldn't have possibly believed them.
"I'm going to be the best writer to ever come out of this department!" said the kid who wrote badly.
Professor Ward's glare slowly became a soft smile, followed by what sounded like a sarcastic chuckle. He then delivered a most enduring message, not only in what he said, but what he didn't say.
He didn't tell me was I wrong. He didn't tell me to get lost. He didn't discourage me with the obvious reality that I was a nobody in the middle of nowhere.
He simply looked at me from over his glasses and said, "We'll see."
For a lost kid with no resume, it is impossible to describe how empowered I felt by the words, "We'll see." With that statement, Professor Ward had created an environment where everyone would be given a fair chance, where even the worst of budding journalists would be evaluated with no judgment, no bias, and best of all, no ceilings.
Professor Ward's first lesson was that it was OK to dream. And then he taught me to write.
And this.
"Write like you talk," he would say, and by now most folks know I talk fast and in spurts.
Those descriptions that sometimes color my writing a deep shade of purple and make even me wince? Yep, Professor Ward, who had a simple mantra that I follow today.
"Show me, don't tell me," he would say.
Professor Ward taught those lessons to a generation of budding SIUE journalists with a loud snort and an iron fist. He was my toughest editor. He was my harshest reader. He ran our small and obscure department as if it were a daily newspaper. If your copy was filled with typos or misspellings, you flunked the assignment. If you missed any deadline, you flunked the project.

I've walked by this place a million times when it was Kebab Central, and was never tempted to go in. Today, a picture of a platter of manti attracted my attention, as well as a banner that proclaimed, "Chef Sam is back!"
I love manti, so we decided to give it a shot. Inside, it looks like a cheap lunch takeout spot, but with a chef (Sam, I presumed) dressed in impeccable whites. Business was slow tonight, and he was slumped in a chair, watching a basketball game on the TV, but immediately lit up when we walked in.
The menu seemed both limited and unfocused, featuring falafel, manti, a Lebanese burger, kebabs, and chicken tikka masala. We had the falafel and the manti, and both were excellent. The falafel were among the best that I've had - they're fried to order, with a golden greaseless crust, and a fluffy, light interior, garlicky and green with herbs. They came with good pita bread, hummus, a small salad, and two excellent sauces (one spicy green herby one, and one yogurt based). The manti were large, with thin pasta wrappers (I prefer the thicker, doughy ones), with a flavorful filling, topped with yogurt and a great spicy sauce. The chef said with great pride that he makes everything himself - I'm guessing not the pita bread, but I believe it of everything else. I'm actually really looking forward to trying the rest of the menu now.
They get extra green points for their clearly marked, large recycling and composting bins (and tiny "landfill" bucket).

How have changes in the status and freedom of women influenced Western society during the last thirty years?
- print Print
- list Cite
The changes in the status and roles of women have reshaped western society. The first, and somewhat self-evident changes appear in the way that what used to be all male preserves, including centers of political, economic, and cultural power, now include both genders. Next, society is less segregated by gender and race; both in social and business settings diversity has increased. This also means that crimes against women are no longer implicitly condoned by a male power structure; rape, for example is taken more seriously as a crime. The declining birth rate in Western countries is also correlated with rise in women's status.
The rise of the two paycheck nuclear family (which had economic causes) combined with the rise of social media and changing female roles has resulted in greater age segregation with children socialized more by their peer groups than adults.

Choose Your Web Hosting Wisely
A blog is one's place to share his/her thoughts, enjoyment or any experience the owner has. And the purpose is to spread the words towards the world. Thanks to the internet, the process has turned out to be much easier nowadays.
But internet only holds the role of communication-media, whilst the storage-media for the blog itself is relies on a web hosting that supposed to provide 99.99% up-time for everybody to access, anywhere and anytime. So choosing a good web hosting is a very important step to fulfill in order to establish an online media for your publication or communication.
There are numerous web-hosting provider available now, and believe me; the more the option is, the harder for you to choose. It is a common strategy for every company to claims that their service or product is the best on the market, so how you will lead yourself to find an objective assessment upon those services? For that, I tell you, you need to hear what those who-know-a-lot-about-the-services think about the product or the service.
Web hosting choice is a place where you can see all of those-who-proclaim-the-best web hosting in comparison one against another, plus an in-depth review for their services. This site provides you with detailed information regarding those web-hosting service provider specifications; including price, assessment score, disk space, data transfer quota, and your money-back-guarantee duration, etc.
Wait, there's more. For you who want to learn about web-hosting-services related knowledge, this site also provides an educational area to teach you new things about web hosting. Let say you want to know how domain name works, or what is on earth a Dedicated Server is. All you need to know about web hosting can be found here, and those explanations sure are written in a very easy to understand sentences, even for beginners.

GOProud, a group that claims to "represent gay conservatives and their allies," has certainly tried their best to stir the pot. First came their opposition to the candidacy of Palm Springs Mayor Steve Pougnet, who would be the first openly gay married dad elected to Congress. Then came their support for the anti-equality challenger to Rep. Barney Frank. These moves didn't surprise me, as I always considered GOProud to be an arm of the Tea Party, just with gay staffers. They're obsessed with worshipping at the altar of free-market conservatism, but without a coherent strategy to win equality for LGBT Americans.
But then came their invitation to Ann Coulter to appear at their "Homocon" convention in late September. Yes, the same Ann Coulter who said sexually active gay men should "feel guilty about it," and "once [scientists] find the gay gene, guess who's getting aborted?" She showed up in fine form. While referring to the freedom to marry for same-sex couples, she said, "it's not a civil right. You're not black," and that the ideal for raising children is "a mother and a father."
Here's the part that gets me: not only was Coulter invited, but the attendees laughed at her jokes. GOProud paid her for her hate speech. They actually defended it, too. GOProud Board Chair Chris Barron said Coulter "was exactly who we thought she was when we invited her. Ann is someone who we disagree with on issues like marriage, but is also one of the funniest, most provocative, and — yes — controversial conservatives out there." He went on to tell the New York Times, "it's a branding opportunity." What are they branding themselves as? The only organization that hosts mixers for self-loathing gays?
Worse, Coulter's appearance came in the middle of a series of gay teens tragically taking their own lives — bullied because of hate speech from people like Coulter, who has millions upon millions of followers. She's one of the best-selling authors in the country and appears regularly on television and radio. Coulter didn't just speak to a room full of people paying $2,500 to hear her spew homophobia-fueling hate speech — what she said broadcasted out on the airwaves. It probably didn't occur to Barron and GOProud that these fans might actually know gay people, or even have closeted gay children. But that's OK, because she's funny and provocative, right?
Then, an even odder thing happened. New York Republican gubernatorial candidate Carl Paladino got himself into hot water, saying children shouldn't be "brainwashed into thinking that homosexuality is an equally valid or successful option." And to my surprise, GOProud actually criticized him. Barron, whose acerbic Twitter tongue has sometimes gotten him into trouble, tweeted "Moral judgments from Carl Paladino, the NY version of John Edwards, should be ignored." Pretty ironic, considering that Ann Coulter once called John Edwards a "faggot" (a fact conveniently ignored by Barron).
What I have trouble understanding is what the difference is between Carl Paladino and Ann Coulter. Oh, wait, I know. To GOProud, one is a homophobe, while the other isn't because she raised money for GOProud.
Hey, maybe they're more interested in branding and cocktail parties than worrying about the consequences. After all, it was Barron who said of Coulter, "We could not think of anyone who we would want to party with more." He likes to talk about his delight in pissing off the "gay left." It's all in good fun for GOProud and Barron, because they got $2,500 a head. The rest of us got more people teaching their kids to bully other kids because they're gay.
I've got news for Chris: this isn't a gay "left" or "right" issue. If gay people pay for and promote this behavior, there is no reason Coulter or Paladino should ever change. And it gets harder to change the minds of those who listen to them.
This past month's tragic events have presented an opportunity. Thanks to the hard work of Dan Savage, supportive allies and perhaps you, we're making headway in communicating "It Gets Better" to troubled LGBT youth.
The problem is, with GOProud on the loose, it gets worse.

No matter which way you slice it, Geno Smith's broken jaw makes Geno Smith look bad, it makes IK Enemkpali look bad and it makes the New York Jets look bad.
"My initial reaction was I was disappointed in the New York Jets' offensive players," Yahoo! Sports NFL analyst Shaun King said on CBS Sports Radio's Tiki and Tierney. "Before I knew the whats and whys, I've never heard of a quarterback getting beat up by a defensive guy and nobody on the offense helping or coming to his assistance. Even though we're a team, there's two families on the same team. Offensive is one family; defense is another. I was really disappointed in their personnel. As I've gotten more of the details, I'm disappointed that the situation occurred at all. For your listeners that may not know, guys miss charity events all the time."
Tiki Barber knows this firsthand. As a rule, he never specifically invited, let alone promoted, that a certain player was going to be at one of his events. He would tell guys they were welcome to come, but that's about it.
"If you invite 10 guys, two or three of them aren't going to show up," King said. "That's just the price of doing business. So I feel like it's very immature and naive on IK's part to ask for reimbursement for a flight knowing that that's just a part of doing a charity event. Then I think it's immature on Geno's part not addressing it before it got to that point. This is his big opportunity. They finally have NFL players on offense for him to play with. This was his chance to really go and show that he has the potential to be the quarterback for the Jets. So this is a sad situation all around in my opinion."
The Jets, who already had one of the best front sevens in football, re-signed Darrelle Revis this offseason and added some playmakers on offense, including Brandon Marshall. Many people thought they could contend for a playoff spot.
Now that the Smith incident has occurred, however, what are their prospects in 2015?
"Well, to me, it completely diminishes any chance they had of having this wonderful, dream season," King said. "I know people have come to the conclusion that Geno can't play, but you can make a reasonable argument that during stretches he's performed at high levels. Now he's going to get the chance to play with Brandon Marshall, which made Eric Decker better, those two tight ends. Now you're looking at an offense that if he progressed, he had a chance to have success. I think we know who and what Ryan Fitzpatrick is. I just don't think he's good enough to lead the Jets to the playoffs – and that's not a knock on Ryan, but it is what it is. If he couldn't produce last year in Houston with Arian Foster, DeAndre Hopkins and Andre Johnson, it's hard for me to believe you're going to come to the Jets and make that big of a difference."

OTC: Kietzbonics Debuts As KK Slaps Gonzo & Runs

Hopefully this helps 610 improve their shows and give us a real option to KK's meltdowns and twisted logic.
"I did not call him a prima donna. I called him a diva. I
I'm Rick James Bitch
Greg: Thanks for putting a smile on my face this morning! Brilliant! Keep on breakin' KK's balls. It took a long time to get Fortunato and Peterson out of town. I keep prayin for KK to go, along with Whitlock, Posnanski and Fannin. You think it's any coincidence with that Peterson last name….Scott…Drew…Carl? I'm just sayin. Please post again soon. Your column is like crack for my sports jones. But please no more Holly Starr.
"wrinkled ass?!?"
There went my breakfast…
Thanks for NOT putting that item first in your column. Nice work.
Beautiful! My all time favorite Keitzbonic is "NASCARS". Whenever KK would talk about stock car racing instead of referring to the cars based on the series they were racing in…Cup Cars…Busch Cars,they were all NASCARS!
Beautiful! NASCARS..is my favorite Keitzbonic. Whenever Kevin talks about stock car racing, or used to…I don't listen to him anymore…all stock cars were NASCARS…not Cup Cars or Busch Cars….NASCARS!!!!
And the day that Dale Sr. died…Grunny was at the Daytona 500 and KK interviewed him and treated Grunny like he was Richard Petty. I still think that grunny thinks "cfm" means Chiefs feed me.
KK is so full of it. He sucks and he is just trying to start things to get ratings for his station. I use to listen to him and realized that all he did was turn everyones words around. Kansas City would be better without him.
Media Observer
Style and ego aside, the thing that disturbs me the most about KK is that he wobbles in and out of entertainment, editorial, reporting, opinion and gossip with no discernible demarcation. Listeners think they
Scott B.
Did a little checking on dictionary.com and discovered the following: when you click the Thesaurus option for "prima donna" the first synonym that comes up is "diva"
"Second, if it is true that he was caught napping on this, shame on him. But KK does not nap. Hell, I
And the barbecue shows he's been doing? Great radio. Nothing beats a cooking segment you can't taste, smell or see.
Just another excuse to bring someone in to feed the host. You'd think Whitlock was still there.
You're right and you're wrong. You're right that it's terrible radio. But you're wrong in the motive. Jim Cotti pays big money to have KK do his hour infomertial. That's the ONLY reason they subject us to that crap. 810 is hurtin' for cash, folks. The Royals contract, the Planet fiasco, and Jerry Green's passing has 810 as cash-strapped as me after my wife goes to Zona Rosa.
KK is the new "Don Fortune". If KK were able to look at himself doing his show he would see exactly what he railed against in his early days. He has become what he hated.
Did you hear the Will and Trust Center blantant advertisement in his show which was mixed into his personal life? He went on about how nice he was and how he wanted to give money to someone all to promote the Will and Trust Center. Can we have sports during sports time and commercials during commercial time and not intersect them.
His show is a situation comedy about himself yet he doesn't realize it.
Geez, a lot of Kietz bashing on here. Comparing him to Don Fortune is stupid. Do you people even remember how pathetic Don Fortune was on the radio? If it weren't for Kietzman, none of you would be reading a blog like this and there might not be a real sports station in this town. I agree he has a lot of faults and it's fun to make fun of him, but he's still the best sports talk host in this town. By far.
Greg, I think you should bust out one of your famous Neilbonics columns this weekend.
Olathecat—The "Don Fortune" reference is being on top and having everyone get tired of your act. Don Fortune ruled sports radio in this town for quite awhile and it was Kietzman and Whitlock who took him down.
KK has a target on his back just like Fortune did and his act is getting old. Why doesn't Kietzman do a Gonzalez interview? Gonzalez wouldn't probably even come on his show because of KK's reputation. KK is now relegated to having to comment on other shows beccause no one wants to talk to him.
Scott B.
Yeah, but that "what can Brenner (sp?) get for free" segment is riveting!!!
I almost fell asleep mowing my lawn. If I didn't have an analog radio that's really touchy, I would have turned the dial. But it's a pain in the ass to get my radio to tune back — guess I should spend the $10 a get a new radio. 🙂
This has nothing to do with any of this. But so sad that Wayman Tisdale has passed a way. On the other end of the spectrum Jamal Tinsley is being sued by an equipment manager because when his limo was shot up he was stuck in the backseat which the controls to the doors were in the front seat. The driver and Tinsley took off leaving the guy to take the bullets. I love Big 8 and Big 12 basketball. But two stars on different sides of the road. I lost all respect for KK years ago when he blasted Owen Hart after he died at Kemper. Low class low rent guy.
craig glazer
I used to be on with Kevin and Petro a ton in the 90's and into the early 2000's, I can say this about them both…they have become much more interesting the last few years…it would be boring without them…they are entitled to their opinions…not always right, but surely not always wrong…Nice to have two sports radio stations to choose from…so no it would not be a better place without them…how many more name media guys do we need to lose. As for Tony, he had to suffer with a truly poorly run organization for many years…A team that gave away two nearly sure SuperBowls, in l995 firing Nick Lowery and going with Elliot..cost you one SuperBowl and in l997 benching MVP quarterback Rich Gannon for Elvis…cost us the other…Tony had to suffer through that and to his credit played his best ball the last two years on one of the alltime worst NFL teams…its time to let him go…he has earned it….He has been a good guy and will be missed…I like Atlanta's chances to win the NFC with the addition of Tony…all the best to him
Ask and you shall receive…at least occasionally. I'll have a throwback Neilbonics OTC posted here on KCconfidential.com over the weekend.
Can't wait for Neil to quote Chiefs former offensive coordinator Al Sanderson.
kk loves those women in the back seat of cars
in mission hills giving him a hummer.
His wife didnt like it and sent him packing…
was a good hummer worth all that money.
I hope so
Thanks, Greg. Looking forward to it!
"kk loves those women in the back seat of cars

Hipity Hop
What I find funny is all of the KK bashing on here.
It's funny because since over taking Don Fortune KK has done nothing but WIN against his rivals.
Entercom and other stations have tried to kill KK and 810 but all have failed.
Fortune and Petro…Failed
Fortune and Rose…Failed
Fortune and Petro again…Failed
Whitlock and Maas…Failed
Neil and Marty…Failed
Chris and Cowboy…Failing
Fortune never had any real competition. When he did, he couldn't handle it and the rest is history.
KK on the other hand has BEAT ALL competition he has come across.
KK is the champ of KC Sports Talk, deal with it.
Hipity Hop I guess where I see the difference is between popularity and quality. So if you are pointing out that KK was/is more popular then all those others and had higher rating then I concur. But popularity doesn't equal quality. We can look at any arena you want and I can point out someone popular but that doesn't represent quality. The Lakers and Cowboys get the highest ratings when on TV but they haven't won a championship. The movie Transformers will draw huge crowds but won't win any best picture of the year awards. The New Kids On The Block hold many record selling and concert attending records but no one considers them the greatest band that ever lived. When you think of quality do you say Miley Cyrus? But yet she draws TONS of people. Most critics think the TV show St. Elsewhere was one of the all time best shows ever but it didn't draw the ratings of say Who's The Boss. So don't confuse popularity with quality. Their are several different measuring sticks when it comes KK. Popularity and ratings are just a few. Also this is a country that elected Nixon, Bush, and Clinton twice. They were the popular winners. But does that mean they will go down as great presidents?

810 isn't hurting for cash. KK is the main event in what ends up a lucrative lineup of Sports Talk. What's most annoying while listening is that there are probably 20 mins of commercials per hour, but KK will tell you, it's only 3 times an hour. True. After the first 20 mins. of the hour, you might as well switch stations, as the commercials get ad-nauseum after half-past. No 810 is not hurting for cash. But even more annoying are the infomercials paraded as content, the grilling segment, the Jim Colbert segment paraded as not as an ad for The Cookie Diet. I like Danny Quinksdale and his analysis of Royals, etc., but NO. 810 is not hurting for money. They've turned sports talk into almost constant promotional support for advertisers, disguised as content.

Nothing gets me to turn off my radio faster than seeing the clock strike 2pm on a weekday. I can hear better sports talk while eavesdropping on conversations at a local bar.
Funny to read that caller's comment about KK kissing Chief ass these days. It's like the brown-noser we all know at work who sits up straight and turns into Eddie Haskell every time the boss walks in the room.
