Public domain film from the Library of Congress Prelinger Archive, slightly cropped to remove uneven edges, with the aspect ratio corrected, and mild video noise reduction applied. The soundtrack was also processed with volume normalization, noise reduction, clipping reduction, and equalization (the resulting sound, though not perfect, is far less noisy than the original). http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bowling Bowling is a sport in which players attempt to score points by rolling a bowling ball along a flat surface, usually a wooden or other synthetic surface, either into pins or to get close to a target ball. The most common types include ten-pin, nine-pin, candlepin, duckpin and five-pin bowling, as well as multiple outdoor variations. There are many forms of bowling, with one of the most recent being ten-pin bowling, also known as the norm. The earliest most primitive forms of bowling can be dated back to Ancient Egypt[4] and the Roman Empire. Indeed, about 2,000 years ago a similar game evolved between Roman legionaries: it entailed tossing stone objects as close as possible to other stone objects (this game became popular with Roman Soldiers, and eventually evolved into Italian Bocce, or outdoor bowling).[5] The first standardized rules were established in New York City, on September 9, 1895. Today, bowling is enjoyed by 95 million people in more than ninety countries worldwide and continues to grow through entertainment media such as video games for home consoles and handheld devices... Bowling alley construction was considered "an important facet" of property development in the western United States in the late 1950s and early 1960s, described by the Los Angeles Times as "small cities in themselves", some of which cost tens of millions of dollars (in 1960s dollars). The Los Angeles Times described developer Louis Lesser as "the most active in this field" of bowling alley developments. In 1960, Lesser developed a bowling alley in Indio, California, at a cost of $750,000 (5,762,376 when adjusted for inflation).[9] In 1959, he built the $2 million (15,945,205 when adjusted for inflation) "Beach City" Santa Monica Civic Lanes in Santa Monica, California,[10] also designed to house the Santa Monica Civic Club, and Samoa Lanes at 5th and Broadway in Santa Monica, both with 24 lanes "equipped with automated pinsetters, a billiard room, children's playroom, coffee shop, and cocktail lounge".[11][12] By 1962, Lesser had developed nine bowling alleys. The biggest was Parkway Lanes in El Cajon, California, developed at a cost of $1 million with 60 lanes.[13] It featured five acres for parking. The facility had "varied entertainment rivaling the best in night clubs", according to the Los Angeles Times, with headliners such as Louis Prima, Lili St. Cyr, Johnny Ray, Frankie Lane, and Roberta Linn who appeared at Parkway, developed by Lesser with Irvin Kahn and George Hirsch. Lesser and Ted Bentley developed Legion Lanes into a 44-lane bowling alley from the Hollywood American Legion Stadium boxing arena, at El Centro and Hollywood Blvd., for $2 million ($15,366,337 when adjusted for inflation). The facility included a playroom for children, cocktail bar, billiard room, and snack bar. NBC provided its lot for temporary parking during construction, and Milt Enright became manager of the facility. Also in 1962, Lesser planned development of bowling alleys in Australia, New Zealand, and Japan as bowling competed with cricket, soccer, and rugby as national pastimes in these countries...

What people are saying about this property
We had the best experience ever! We are already planning to spend an entire week next September to celebrate our 25 anniversary!!! Thanks for a great weekend.
The cabin was absolutely beautiful and very clean. The view was amazing. The staff was very helpful and friendly. We loved our stay.
The Forbidden Pleasures cabin was gorgeous! And the mountainous view off of the back porch was incredible. This trip was just me and my husband on our 6th wedding anniversary. It was the perfect size for two. Love the vaulted ceilings and game room in the loft. Master suite was a good size and the bed/ pillows were clean and comfy. The in-room jacuzzi was beautiful, although we didn't end up using it, so can't comment on function. Hot tub was very clean. Location was nice, being between Gatlinburg and Pigeon Forge. Directions were very good. Entire cabin was very clean, and we had plenty of towels, toilet paper, and paper towels. Reservation by phone and completion by emailing necessary items for direct check-in all went very well...everyone was polite and helpful, and it the direct check-in feature was wonderful. The price of the cabin was very reasonable, and we even got three nights for the price of two, which made it affordable for us. We also used the luxury pass to go to a dinner show, which saved us over $50! A few negatives, although all of them added up didn't even make us drop our rating from five stars to four. We would've loved to use the fireplaces, especially the one in the bedroom. I see where it's turned off from May 1 to Oct 1, but we were there in late May and would've enjoyed it. It would've been a nice romantic touch. Something seemed to be wrong with the jets in the hot tub...they weren't very strong. (But it was still relaxing, especially with the view, and we were in it several times.) the XBox would've been better with two controllers. Thank you for a beautiful place to spend our anniversary. We will recommend Timber Tops and even this specific cabin to friends and family and will start with you all first when we plan our next trip! We hope to come back with our children and parents in the near future.

^ Over the years the Westpoint has gotten less skinny and has moved toward a slim-ish fit that's closer to the Rivet Chino. The Westpoint still has a slightly lower rise than the Rivet and narrower leg -- and a much shorter inseam (though not as short as FW10, which was I think 31" or something crazy like that). I haven't found it as comfortable to wear or as well constructed as the Rivets, so I've never kept a pair I've ordered, and haven't found it to be worth the extra cost. The fit of recent collections, especially W+H's SS12, is somewhat similar, though.
EDIT: Also re your shirting question, it sounds like we have similar preferences for shirting. I joke that I'm usually a Smedium. For this reason I tend to buy Ashland Smalls. Epaulet Mediums fit me really well, but Ashland Smalls look like they're almost bespoke on me (I have had someone ask me this question before). Your best bet is to go with the measurement charts online. They're accurate and very helpful.
Thank you - I couldn't have asked for a more helpful answer. I really appreciate it.post #14059 of 469857/20/12 at 6:03pm

So will the Carminas with the york sole (leather and dainite) hold up to wet pavement well? I mean, I am not planning on taking these hiking in the mud and snow, but my job requires a fair amount of hitting the pavement through the wet winter. As such, I need to make sure my shoe soles can take the beating.post #14062 of 469857/20/12 at 8:15pm

It's made by a company called Velva Sheen. Made in the USA. I picked it up from a store called Indigo & Cotton for a STEAL. Seriously recommended. Hella comfortable and extremely well-made.Quote:Originally Posted by stlms3

The York sole is one of the best rubber soles I've seen. It's made by Dainite and has a very similar feel to it (traction-wise), but you can't see it from the profile of the shoe (unlike the typical Dainite sole).
Check it out on our Thompson Plain Toe Blucher. The "Steinbeck" version of the Carmina wingtip boot is going to be bananas. We're really stoked for you guys to see it.post #14065 of 469857/20/12 at 9:07pmpost #14066 of 469857/20/12 at 9:12pm

Funny how money, chains and whips make me feel free
Lyric Meaning
Chains = bling/jewelry, and "whips" is slang for fancy cars
Pre-emancipation proclamation, slaves were chained to allow enslavement and whipped when they misbehaved. The irony is, that these same things [in slang terms] now, make J Cole feel free.
Further irony comes from the fact that this is the opposite of what is the mindset of a slave. Whereas the money would have removed the chains chains i.e. buying their freedom, the whips and the chains would prevent them from escaping.

18-year-old Alyssa Gialamas, a senior at Waubonsie Valley High School in Aurora, defines what the Jim Corno Sr. Inspirational Athlete award is all about.
After being born with arthrogryposis, a disorder that affects ability to use one's joints and muscles, specifically for Alyssa in her knees, feet and jaw, she wanted nothing more than to be just like one of the other kids.
"As a child I was never told I could not do something. If I wanted to do it, we'd find a way to make it possible," she said in her acceptance speech Monday at the CSN Sports Awards. "My parents signed me up for swim lessons, and I fell in love with it. I would watch the Olympics on TV, but never thought it'd be me one day.
However, through blood, sweat and tears I was able to represent Team USA at the London Paralympic Games, and now have a chance to tell all the kids who are just like me that you can succeed. With a positive attitude and hard work you can achieve anything you want to. Everyone has challenges in their life, and I firmly believe that it is your attitude toward those challenges that defines you."
Gialamas, who will attend Loyola University in Maryland this fall, knows her work is not done, something she also echoed in her acceptance speech.
"This award allows me to be an ambassador for my family, my high school, my community and now the Chicagoland area," she said. "As a member of the US National team I believe in our motto, which is "changing perceptions on the way to the top," and I will remember that as I use my positive attitude and hard work to achieve future goals."
You can watch Alyssa's inspiring story above, as well as her entire acceptance speech below.

Updates on the Padres' GM Search
Here's the latest news and notes on the search for a new GM to replace Josh Byrnes.
– San Diego as received permission to interview New York Yankees assistant GM Billy Eppler, Jon Heyman of MLB Network reports.
– Red Sox assistant GM Mike Hazen confirms that he will indeed interview for the position, according to Steve Buckley of the Boston Globe.
– The Padres will interview Rangers assistant GM A.J. Preller but not fellow assistant Thad Levine, Ken Rosenthal of Fox Sports 1 reports. The reason is, the Padres would prefer not to interview two candidates from the same organization.
– There has been talk around the league that Diamondbacks president Kevin Towers might be interested in returning to San Diego.

Tuning of an active photonic crystal cavity by an
hybrid silica/silicon near-field probe
G. Le Gac1,*, A. Rahmani3, C. Seassal1, E. Picard2, E. Hadji2, S. Callard1,4

Abstract: The influence of a near-field tip on the spectral characteristics of
a resonant mode of an active photonic crystal micro-cavity was investigated.
The wavelength shift of the mode was theoretically and experimentally
demonstrated and evaluated as a function of the nature and the position of
the tip above the cavity. Experiment showed that the shift induced is ten
times higher with a Si-coated silica probe than with a bare silica tip: a shift
until 2 nm was reached with Si-coated tip whereas the shift with bare silica
tip is in the range of the tenth of nanometer, for wavelengths around 1,55

1. Introduction
Two-dimensional photonic crystals (2D-PC) provide us with an unprecedented ability to
control and confine photons. They are versatile building blocks for nanooptical architectures.
In particular, PC slab structures, which rely on total internal reflection for the vertical optical
confinement, and the photonic bandgap effect for the in-plane confinement, play an
increasingly important role in nanophotonics. When combined with defect engineering, such
structures can support localized modes with small mode volumes and large quality factors [1].
When coupled to a single emitter like a quantum dot, these PC structures can be used to
enhance or inhibit the dynamics of the source [2–4], or as a source of nonclassical light [5].
The efficiency of the coupling between the emitter and the cavity depends both on the spectral
matching and the spatial overlap between the cavity mode and the emitter. To address the
issue of the optimal positioning of an emitter inside a cavity it is crucial to know the actual
cavity mode profile on a small enough scale. For that purpose, near-field scanning optical
microscopy (NSOM) has proved to be an invaluable tool as it gives us access to the mode
profiles inside the cavity with a spatial resolution beyond what can be achieved with far-field
techniques [6–12]. These studies showed that the near-field probing yields important
information such as the local spectral response of a structure, or light intensity distribution
inside a nanophotonic component. However, the potential of 2D-PC structures to foster new
photonic devices would be greatly enhanced if their optical properties could be modified after
fabrication. In particular, for active structures, the ability to post-tune, in a reversible way, a
cavity to match the emission or absorption line of an emitter is of great interest. With devices
operating at cryogenic temperatures the post-tuning can be achieved by varying the
temperature of the PC device, using for instance electrical contacts [13]. Another approach
consists in using the nonlinearity of another material to tune the cavity mode [14]. However,
these techniques are not ideal for devices operating at room-temperature, or to achieve a local

tuning that may shift the wavelength of one mode of a given cavity without affecting the
others. A near-field optical microscope (NSOM) can be used to achieve this effect. Indeed it
has been shown that a NSOM probe can be used to alter the modal properties of passive
nanophotonic structures [15–22]. These studies hinted that if the electromagnetic coupling
between a near-field probe and a photonic mode can be controlled, this could open new
avenues for the design of novel optomechanic photonic devices. In this paper, we study
theoretically and experimentally the interaction of near-field probes with the modes of an
active 2D-PC cavity. In particular, the effect of the probe material on the emission wavelength
of an electromagnetic nanosource like a 2D-PC nanolaser is investigated. The use of an active
device allows light generation directly in the microcavity with no need of access waveguide.
Moreover, the demonstration of laser emission while tuning the cavity with a near-field probe
needs to be given. After the description of the 2D-PC microcavity and its electromagnetic
modes, we study, theoretically, the effect on the modes of a near-field probe placed in the
vicinity of the microcavity. We then present NSOM experimental results obtained with
different kinds of probes: a bare silica tip, usually used in NSOM characterization because of
its minimal impact on the optical field, and a Si-coated silica tip as a more invasive probe.
2. Structure design and numerical simulation
We consider a linear defect nanocavity [23,24] whose design is shown in Fig. 1. The photonic
crystal consists of a triangular array of cylindrical holes (period 420 nm and hole radius 100
nm) patterned on a thin InP slab (thickness 250 nm) positioned on top of a SiO2 substrate The
cavity is formed by introducing a linear defect (omitting 7 holes) into the 2D-PC. This defect
is referred to as the LC7 microcavity. The cavity structure is designed so as to obtain several
spectrally and spatially distinct modes, around 1.5µm. To achieve reasonably high quality
factors, the radiation losses were minimized by engineering the holes positions at both edges
of the cavity [1]. In our case, the two holes on either side of the cavity were shifted by 80nm
outward. The result is an increase by up to 60 percent of the quality factor compared to
unmodified microcavity.
Fig. 1. Views of the calculation domain (a) in the plane of the InP membrane (b) Perpendicular
to the InP membrane
The structure was simulated using 3D finite-difference time-domain (FDTD) method with
the perfectly matched layers boundary conditions. The full structure lateral size is 11µm x
11µm and consists of the crystal slab on a 2 µm SiO2 substrate, surrounded by 2 µm of air.
Computational meshes were 42 nm for x, y, and z, corresponding to 10 cells for a crystal
period. The computations are initially performed without the near-field tip. They show that the
microcavity supports several modes, four of them having a quality factor above 1000, the
largest found being 5800.
Figure 2.a, 2.b, 2.c and 2.d present the mode cartographies computed at the surface of the
InP slab, for the four modes of lowest energy, labeled A (λ = 1444 nm Q = 1615), B (λ = 1483
nm Q = 1000), C (λ = 1517nm Q = 1550) and D (λ = 1530 nm Q = 5800). The fundamental

mode is mode D. The highest quality factor was obtained for this mode which is highly
confined into the cavity with the intensity of the mode concentrated principally at the center of
the cavity, as it is shown by the vertical cross-section cartography along the longitudinal axis
of the cavity (Fig. 2.e). The profile of the central lobe is shown Fig. 2.f. The other modes
exhibit a weaker confinement (quality factor around 1000) and different spatial distributions.
Fig. 2. Horizontal cartography at the surface (z = 0) (a)Mode A: λ = 1444 nm Q = 1615
(b)Mode B: λ = 1483~nm Q = 1000 (c)Mode C: λ = 1517nm Q = 1550 (d)Mode D: λ =
1530~nm Q = 5800 (e) Vertical cross-section cartography of the mode D along the longitudinal
axis of the cavity (f) Profile of the central lobe. White bar is 1.5 µm.
This preliminary information about the distribution of light inside the cavity is essential to
find which lateral positions of the near-field probe will be most efficient in inducing a change
in a given mode. The tip was introduced in the simulation as a truncated cone with an apex
radius of 100 nm and an angle of 30°. From the previous simulations, relevant positions
corresponding to mode nodes or antinodes can be identified as Pi (i = 0. 1, 2, 3, 4, 5), as
shown in Fig. 3. Due to the mesh, the vertical tip position is set 18 nm above the surface. For
three positions, namely P2, P4 and P5, the tip is above a hole and the vertical position of the
tip can be reduced to 3 nm inside the hole: we defined P2in, P4in and P5in as the positions
inside the hole and P2out, P4out, and P5out as the positions above the hole.
Fig. 3. Simulations have been conducted for different horizontal positions of the tip (18 nm
above the cavity): P0, P1, P2, P3, P4 and P5. P2, P4 and P5 include 2 vertical positions, labeled
in or out which are 3 nm inside a hole and 18 nm above a hole, respectively.
We now consider the influence of the near-field probe on the characteristics of the mode D
which presents the largest quality factor. Because of its small linewidth, a better visualization
of the tip effects is expected for this mode. First, a silica tip (refractive index n = 1.44) is
introduced in the computation domain at the positions described previously. Figure 4.a shows
that, for mode D, irrespective of the position of the tip, the wavelength shift does not exceed
0.4 nm. The presence of the tip always induces a red shift of the resonance wavelength. It can
be easily explained as when the tip penetrates in the near-field of the PC, it contributes to
increasing the optical length of the cavity. However, as the refractive index of the silica probe
is rather weak, the effect remains moderate. Figure 4.b shows the losses induced by the tip as
Received 2 Sep 2009; revised 9 Oct 2009; accepted 9 Oct 2009; published 11 Nov 2009
23 November 2009 / Vol. 17, No. 24 / OPTICS EXPRESS 21675
Page 5
a percentage of the losses without tip. It shows that the relative losses induced by the silica tip
do not exceed 20% of the initial losses. Though the wavelength of the mode is shifted slightly,
these results confirm that an uncoated fiber tip only slightly influences the mode [21] and can,
by and large, be considered as a quasi-passive probe. We then conducted similar simulations
with a silicon tip. The effects are much more important than for the silica probe. Figure 4.a.
shows that, depending on the tip position, the wavelength red-shift can be in the range of 1,5
to 2 nm for tip positions on antinodes. These wavelength shifts are associated with a
significant increase in the optical losses (up to 700%, which means that the initial quality
factor is divided by 8). Generally, for a given mode a large wavelength shift translates a
strong interaction between the probe and the PC, and thus corresponds to large scattering
losses. The simulation results also illustrates that the lateral positioning of the tip on a node
has less influence than on an antinode, as expected.
Fig. 4. Evolutions of (a) the resonance wavelength and (b) the relative induced losses
depending on silica or silicon tip position obtained by numerical calculations
The silicon tip at position P3 induces the smallest shift (around 0.2 nm with a 70%
increase in scattering losses). This is expected as the mode intensity is very weak at P3. The
largest shift and the strongest losses are observed when the tip is above an antinode of the
mode and penetrates inside a hole of the 2D-PC (P2in). Position P2in induces a shift of 2.2 nm
with an increase in losses by up to 700%. The relative shift for a lateral translation from
position P3 to P2in is 2 nm. The second position with the highest influence is P0 with a
relative shift of 1.2 nm from P0 to P3.

These nutritious flapjacks keep very well in a tin. Children love their crunchy texture and they make an ideal addition to any lunchbox.

The inspiration for this recipe was given to me by Mary Flahavan. I like it so much that we now make it up in batches and keep them in Kilner jars in our rooms for guests - in case they're feeling a bit peckish after a long journey but don't want to ruin their dinner.
Who doesn't love brownies and cheesecake? The baking girls at Boutique Bake have created one of their favourites that are really easy to put together and always goes down a treat with family and friends. The cheesecake part of this is 'no bake', which makes it a really simple dessert to put together. Once you have the brownie base baked, it takes about 5 minutes to whip the cheesecake element together and then just leave it to set. You could use strawberries or any other fruit you prefer, it's very flexible!

I love when the blood oranges arrive. In this part of the world it is generally late January, just the time when we need a little cheering up. They have a wonderful flavour and the beautiful ruby coloured flesh and juice is just a joy. I use them in sweet and savoury situations and will be seen in this coldest of months trying to find a few brave shoots of watercress to pair them in what is one of my favourite savoury salads of the year. In this jelly I pair them with our regular oranges, also good at this time of year, to temper the sometimes sharp flavour of the sanguine variety. The jelly can be set in individual moulds, coffee cups or glasses. It can also be set in a large dish and served straight from that. If you want to turn out the jellies for a smart presentation, you need to brush your moulds with a non-scented oil such as sunflower to ensure they will slide out easily.

Rich and dark with a lacquer-like shine, chocolate sauce is a classic and it is easy. The most important ingredient is clearly the chocolate, so search for the best quality you can find. I use Valhrona, a wonderful chocolate from France, and generally use the 62% cocoa solid version. If I need a particularly intensely flavoured sauce I will use 70% cocoa solids. I serve the sauce with ice creams and some chocolate puddings. The sauce is best when freshly made but will keep in the fridge for several weeks. If I have stored it for a while, I always warm it up gently before serving.

These puddings, soft and yielding, are delicious and, without doubt, made for chocolate lovers. The combination of ingredients is a classic one but with timeless appeal. The cooked puddings will sit happily in a warm oven for at least an hour before serving and, indeed, could be made ahead of time, allowed to cool and re-heated in a bain-marie in a warm oven. The prunes in the recipe can be replaced with cherries - a delicious variation - in which case I would soak them in Kirsch. Cognac can replace the slightly dryer Armagnac with the prunes. The pudding can be cooked in a large dish or in individual ramekins or even tea cups.

This is a really simple and lovely ice to make with our furry friends. The sauce is delicious and makes the whole combination into a thoroughly refreshing dessert. I serve this with Sugar Biscuits.

ATLANTA, Nov. 26, 2012 /PRNewswire-iReach/ -- 3dMD, the 3D surface imaging system and software developer who has actively supported 3D clinical research for more than a decade, announces the availability of its recently re-engineered 60 frames per second (fps) 3dMDdynamic System to support serious research into quantifying and measuring human anatomical function in motion. While historically 4D capture systems have focused on generating virtual avatar effects for application in the film and gaming industries, 3dMD has remained focused on engineering 4D capture systems that generate highly-accurate surface shape data for clinical and human factor application.
Each frame in the 3dMDdynamic 60 fps sequence serves as a true 3D object with high-precision anatomical integrity, which allows crucial micro-expressions or soft tissue deformations in a sequence to be isolated and analyzed in depth.
The release of 3dMD's latest-generation 4D technology coincides with 3dMD's award of Phase II of the STTR Grant (Grant Number: 2R42DE019742-02) in conjunction with the School of Dentistry at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill and Co-Principal Investigator Professor Carroll Ann Trotman. After successfully completing the Phase I proof of concept with its second generation 4D technology, 3dMD will expand Phase II research into dynamic objective measures for assessing how a child's face functions during various facial expressions and speech. In particular, the study focuses on evaluating facial shape change resulting from treatment intervention in children with cleft lip and palate. This project provides the foundation for the next level of widespread global research into objectively evaluating how a patient dynamically responds to intervention, thus establishing a treatment plan blueprint focused on helping patients assimilate naturally into their community.
"While our first production 3dMDdynamic System was installed in 2005, 3dMD has continued to

Apartments Near The Attic Apartments in Charlotte
"The Attic"35.228005 , -80.841721
When you first walk in, The Attic kind of just looks like someone else's apartment (but with a fully-stocked bar). But herein lies its appeal - this is a great place for a pre-club or post-work tipple. Drinks are on the cheap side, and most come here for its balcony that overlooks busy North Tryon St in the Fourth Ward neighborhood. This outdoor area is seated, but a little tiny, so get here early if you want a good people-watching spot, as the whole bar fills up really fast. It's connected to its sister bar Madison's, which is a little larger and starts from the back of The Attic.
Music can be a mixed bag here, as The Attic's diverse crowd is catered to by anything from a Top 40 DJ to a live rock band. Service can be a bit slow here due to this place's popularity and chronically under-staffed bar, but servers and patrons alike are pretty friendly, so it's more about enjoying the atmosphere than just getting trashed. There's no dress code, so whatever's hanging up in your apartment closet is okay by The Attic, and the only time they ever really need to use their bouncers is to get people to pour their drinks into plastic cups when venturing out onto the balcony patio.
If you're not too big on the crowds, it's best to come here weeknights or Sunday afternoons. Otherwise, this locale boasts a modest but busy dance floor where you can strut your tipsy stuff.
