December 04,2012RUDOLPH, Ohio Volunteers in the northwest Ohio village of Rudolph have come together to save the most famous postmark of all. Thousands of letters flood the village post office every December so they can be stamped with a Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer postmark. But the tradition was in danger of ending when the post office staff was cut down to one and the work became too much to handle. Thats when volunteers in the community decided to take over the job. When word spread, pleadings from local politicians and townsfolk persuaded the U.S. Postal Service to allow volunteers to stamp the special Reindeer Station postmark on the 80,000 letters and cards that come in from across the country. Close to 75 people, including a few retired postal workers, have signed up to work daily shifts.

This invention relates to lens systems for optoelectronic transducers.
In some optoelectronic device situations, an array of optoelectronic transducers is required. Further, in some of these situations, a lens must be provided for each of these optoelectronic transducing devices to properly direct the transmitted electromagnetic radiation interacting with these devices.
These optoelectronic transducers typically have structural features which are usually on the order of microns, and almost always less than a mil. There are substantial difficulties in providing similarly sized lenses of good quality. Such lenses usually require techniques different from those used in providing ordinary lenses. One such technique is to take a previously formed glass sphere and mechanically position and hold the sphere adjacent to the transducer such that the sphere itself serves as a lens. Another technique is to fabricate a lens right on the transducer itself, as shown in U.S. Pat. No. 4,058,821 to Miyoshi, et al. This reference shows the placing of a selected amount of glass on a portion of a material layer already provided over a semiconductor photodetector and then heating the selected amount of glass to its melting temperature. This glass, after melting, flows over the material layer and, through surface tension, takes the shape of a lens which it maintains after cooling below the melting temperature. However, raising the amount of glass to its melting temperature also requires heating the semiconductor device which may be detrimental to the structures, including those forming circuit components, contained therein. Further, making several lenses for each chip, and doing so for chip after chip, can be prohibitive in large volumes.
The present invention provides a lens arrangement bonded to an integrated circuit such that the lens arrangement has portions thereof serving as a plurality of lenses (lenslets) each of which is capable of directing electromagnetic radiation transmitted therethrough along a desired path with respect to the associated optoelectronic device in the integrated circuit. The lens arrangement may also have means therein for spacing other components in the optical system with respect thereto, and may be bonded using a substantially transparent adhesive between the lens arrangement and the integrated circuit.
The joining of the lens arrangement to the integrated circuit by bonding can be based on the lens arrangement being previously fabricated by molding. The mold can be made from a prepared structure which simulates the shape desired for the lens arrangement including the lens portions thereof.
FIG. 1 shows a plan view of a lenslet block,
FIG. 2 shows a side view of the lenslet block of FIG. 1 and a side view of a portion of a monolithic integrated circuit chip,
FIG. 3 shows a side view of the items of FIG. 2 joined together, and
FIGS. 4A, 4B, 4C, 4D, 4E and 4F show the steps in providing a master surface upon which a mold is based for forming the lenslet block shown in FIGS. 1 and 2.
FIG. 1 shows a lens means which can be used to provide at least a portion of an optical system situated in an optical path leading to an integrated circuit system having either photodetectors or photoemitters therein. The lens means of FIG. 1 is a molded block, 10, of a suitable optical quality material for lenses, such as polymethylmethacrylate or polycarbonate. Block 10 has a suitably contoured surface on the side opposite the one seen in FIG. 1 for joining with a complementary contoured surface in, or in part of, such an integrated circuit system. The side of block 10 viewed in FIG. 1 shows two parallel rows of lenslets, 11. Lenslets 11 are of such a nature that if cross sections of the lenslets themselves were shown, they would reveal substantially the sector of the circle as the lenslet cross-sectional plane figure. Raised surfaces, 12, are examples of spacing means formed integrally in block 10 to serve as standoffs for properly spacing other optical system components with respect to lenslets 11 such as an aperture means. The circular structures, 13, at either end of block 10 are shown as examples of fastening means formed integrally in block 10 such as aperture posts as part of the arrangement used for fastening such an aperture means to block 10.
Where block 10 is used with a monolithic integrated circuit as a part of an optical system having dimensions of the same order as those typically encountered in monolithic integrated circuits. Dimensions of block 10 of approximately 265 mils�50 mils would be typical to encompass an elongated array of electromagnetic radiation sensitive transducers. There, for instance, could be photodetectors which would also be made in two parallel rows such that the lenslets, for the most part, would each have their optical axes approximately centered on a corresponding photodetector. The lenslets, themselves, have a typical diameter in the view of FIG. 1 of approximately 180 μm and are such that the center height of the highest point on a lenslet from the major surface below is typically 22 μm. Whatever is desired as focal lengths for these lenslets, and desired as sizes of the photodetectors, controls the choice of these dimensions. The raised surfaces 12, used as aperture standoffs, might typically have a height to the upper surface above the major surface below of approximately 15 μm. Aperture posts 13 may typically have a structure which reached the height of 9 mils above the major surface of block 10 shown in FIG. 1.
The use of a lens means such as block 10 of FIG. 1 bonded to a monolithic integrated circuit, as opposed to forming the lenslets directly on the monolithic integrated circuit, avoids the heating of the optical material for such lenslets in the vicinity of the monolithic integrated circuit. The innevitable result of also heating that monolithic integrated circuit is then eliminated. For many suitable optical materials which can be formed directly on a monolithic integrated circuit, the materials melt at temperatures which are very substantial fraction of the diffusion temperatures of dopants used in the monolithic integrated circuit. This could lead to certain additional diffusions which could damage, or change the characteristics of, the monolithic integrated circuit.
Further, heating is a relatively slow process, while bonding can be done relatively quickly. The curing time for the adhesive used in the bonding does not add much time to the bonding process insofar as delaying beginning bonding of the next lenslet to the next monolithic integrated circuit when compared with the solidifying time for molten lens material. Also, the repeatability of structural configuration may be easier to maintain bonding a molded lens each time a lens-circuit unit is made when compared with constructing a new lens for each such unit.
FIG. 2 shows a side view of block 10 and shows it positioned above a portion of a monolithic integrated circuit chip, 14, prior to bonding the two together. The monolithic integrated circuit chip is accurately bonded in a selected position on a ceramic substrate (not shown) using an epoxy resin adhesive where such ceramic material substrate is part of a ceramic monolithic integrated circuit housing. The accuracy of the position of the chip with respect to the other geometrical features of the housing may need to be within two mils of the desired position and may require using an optical comparator and micromanipulator to achieve such accuracy. The epoxy adhesive is cured with the chip in the selected position, and thereafter, interconnections are made between the ceramic housing external connector conductors and the contact pads in the monolithic integrated circuit chip using, for instance, well known thermal compression bonding techniques.
Next, block 10 is bonded to monolithic integrated circuit chip 14 typically with a requirement on the tolerance of positioning of no more than approximately 2 μm from the desired position. To accomplish this, a well known machine for use in fabricating monolithic integrated circuits, an optical aligner, can be used with a micromanipulator. The use of the optical aligner containing an ultravoilet radiation source is particularly efficient because the use of an adhesive which cures under ultraviolet radiation becomes feasible for making the bond during the time the optical aligner is holding the monolithic integrated circuit chip and lens block 10 in a selected position relative to one another.
A positioner is used to hold the ceramic substrate with the monolithic integrated circuit chip bonded thereto against selected datums so that chip is held in parallel and in line with the optical aligner optics. An adhesive which can be cured by exposure to ultraviolet radiation is applied to the chip at the location in which lens block 10 is to be bonded, a suitable adhesive being Loctite LD580.
Lens block 10 is placed on the chip under a separate microscope in close proximity to the final desired position, and then the substrate with the chip bonded thereto and the lens thereon is placed in the positioner and in the optical aligner and locked in place in the micromanipulator. The nest with the substrate assembly is put in a position where the four probes of the micromanipulator can manipulate the position of the nest.
The micromanipulator manipulates the nest to a position where further probes can make contact with lens block 10. These further probes are provided as two sets independent of one another and with one set of probes at each end of lens block 10. The probes within a set are independent of one another to a certain degree to allow for small differences of thickness or parallelism in lens block 10. These probes are such that they make contact with block 10 at approximately a 30 degree angle with respect to the lens block 10 ends and they have an adjustable load spring so that they can be adjusted to hold lens block 10 stationary and to facilitate removing bubbles in the adhesive.
These further probes are then brought against, and locked in position with, lens block 10 to hold it in a stationary position while the micromanipulator moves the nest with the substrate chip assembly sufficiently to have the lens block 10 properly aligned with chip 14. When this alignment is accomplished, lens block 10 is held in the selected position with respect to the nest with the substrate and chip therein until the ultraviolet source within the optical aligner has partially cured the adhesive which typically takes up to approximately two minutes. Thereafter, the ceramic substrate with chip 14 bonded thereto which chip, in turn, supports lens block 10 bonded thereto, is removed from the optical aligner and put under another ultraviolet source for providing the final curing of the adhesive. This final curing typically takes ten minutes to half an hour.
The result of these operations is shown in FIG. 3 where lens block 10 is shown bonded to the surface of integrated circuit chip 14 at which the photodetectors, not shown, are adjacent. A typical thickness between the surface of lens block 10 on which lenslet 11 are provided and the surface of lens block 10 bonded to chip 14 might be 20 mils. This thickness, of course, is related to the radius of lenslets 11 and the desired relation between the focal point of each lenslet and its corresponding photodetector in chip 14.
Thereafter, further components in the optical system can be provided which are supported by lens block 10 as may be convenient in the implementation of the optical system. A typical further component is an aperture means which has two parallel rows of holes therein corresponding to lenslets 11. With such an aperture means in place, each hole exposes therethrough a portion of a lenslet 11 permitting electromagnetic radiation to pass only through the exposed lenslet portions. Such an aperture means can be placed over lens block 10 resting against aperture standoff surfaces 12. Aperture post 13 can protrude through two major holes in the aperture means such that, after the aperture is in place, the structures 13 can be heated sufficiently to melt slightly and flow over some of the aperture means to hold the aperture means in place. Further components for an optical system can be mounted against this assembly of lens block 10 with such an aperture means such as further lens means if needed in the optical system.
To obtain lens blocks like lens block 10 in FIGS. 1 through 3, a mold must be provided which can be formed by first preparing a master surface. This is begun with providing a flat, clean substrate as the base for the master lens surface which base can be made from glasses, metals, ceramics or other suitable materials. In FIG. 4A undoped silicon has been chosen as the material for the base, 20, having an initial flat, clean surface, 21, for further processing.
To provide an etching mask, 5,000 to 8,000 Å of silicon dioxide is thermally grown on initial surface 21. Well known techniques of photolithography are used to provide openings in the thermal oxide such that the thermal oxide is left in those places on initial surface 21 of FIG. 4A where the aperture standoffs 12 of FIG. 1 are desired to occur. Then an etchant which attacks the underlying silicon substrate 20, but not the thermal oxide, is applied to the thermal oxide, and exposed surfaces of silicon substrate 20 sufficient to etch away the silicon to a depth of 12 μm. A typical etchant would be potassium hydroxide used in a mixture with equal parts of water. Afterward, the thermal oxide is removed to leave the structure as shown in FIG. 4B where the initial surface 21 after the etching has been redesignated 21'. The new surfaces which have been provided as a result of etching are designed 22 in FIG. 4B. Portions of the new surfaces which cannot be seen from the side view are indicated by a dashed line in FIG. 4B.
The constructing of a form for the master surface to provide portions of spheres required to form spherical surface lenslets is based on using a molten material. This molten material wets a limited surface such that the adhesive forces between the material and the surface and the surface tension of the molten material combine to produce the portion of a sphere form needed as a basis for a lenslet refracting body. Because of surface tension in the molten material, the molten material will take a shape such that the surface area thereof is minimized. Because the molten material will be chosen to wet the limited circular surface on which it is formed, the minimum surface area for a given volume of molten material will be that of a portion of a sphere.
To form the limited surface on which a molten material is to be provided as the basis for achieving the necessary shape for a lenslet, the structure shown in FIG. 4B has a new silicon dioxide layer, 23, thermally grown on surfaces 21' and 22 to a thickness of 5,000-8,000 Å as shown in FIG. 4C. The dashed lines of FIG. 4B have been omitted in FIG. 4C. On layer 23, there is deposited the material of which selected portions are to be wetted by a molten material in the process of forming the desired lenslet shape. A suitable material is aluminum deposited to a thickness of approximately 10,000 Å and such a deposition is designated layer 24 in FIG. 4C. The use of oxide layer 23 permits a convenient change in the choice of wetted surface materials at various locations which may not be as easy to make if the wetted surface material was put directly on the silicon surface 22 of silicon substrate 20. However, if the molten material is the same for forming the aperture post form as it is for the lenslets forms, so that a common wetted surface material can be used, the use of oxide layer 23 could be eliminated. Note that the thickness of oxide layer 23 and the thickness of aluminum layer 24 is greatly exaggerated relative to the thickness shown for lens block 20' for purposes of visual convenience.
To provide the desired pattern of circular disc portions of aluminum layer 24 as bases for the molten material to solidify upon in providing the forms for the lenslets and the aperture posts, standard photolithography techniques are used to provide circular disc shapes accurately having the diameter desired for lenslets and for aperture posts. A typical etchant for aluminum in this step is a solution of phosphoric acid, nitric acid, acetic acid and water. The result is shown in FIG. 4D where just a small portion of FIG. 4C is shown in cross-sectional view. The result of aluminum layer 24 having been patterned into circular disc bases is shown in part in FIG. 4D to the extent of there being present portions of two circular disc bases with each being designated 24'.
Since the molten material to be used in making the form for the lenslets and aperture posts will wet only aluminum bases 24' and not layer 23, the diameter of bases 24' control the extent of flow of such molten material for each of the lenslet forms or the aperture post form. Further, the location of each aluminum base 24' determines the location of the resulting lenslets or aperture posts in a molded block 10 of FIG. 1 and, as indicated above, the location must be accurate to within approximately 2 microns with respect to the photodetectors in the monolithic integrated circuit chip when block 10 is bonded to the chip.
The material which is to be put in a molten state to provide the form for the lenslets can be any material which properly wets the supporting circular disc base and which provides a finish suitable for an optical surface, that is a finish such that any irregularities in the surface are well less than a micron in any deviation from the basic curve of the resulting surface. A typical material is polymethylmethacrylate formed as a microbead. Such microbeads of a selected diameter are put one each on those bases 24' corresponding to lenslets 11 on FIG. 1, and a larger microbead put on those bases 24' corresponding to aperture posts 13.
Since lenslet to lenslet uniformity in curvature depends on the base 24' for each lenslet being well matched to one another and on the amount of material to be rendered in a molten state being well matched in amount on each base, the microbeads must be sorted so that only nearly identical sized microbeads are to be used. The selecting of microbeads from a supply thereof to achieve this can be done under a high magnification microscope, or by other methods, to see that the microbeads for placing on bases 24' corresponding to lenslets have diameters which vary from one to another by less than a micron. After carefully selecting such beads, they are placed on aluminum bases 24' as indicated above after the substrate with these bases has been heated to around 175� C. Bring the microbead in contact with a base 24' heated to such a temperature will cause the microbead to adhere thereto, i.e. to be "tacked down" until the entire arrangement, as shown in FIG. 4E, can be placed in an oven to cause the microbeads to become totally molten. Portions of two microbeads are shown in FIG. 4E and designated 25 there.
Thereafter, the arrangement of which part is shown in FIG. 4E is placed in an oven and heated to a higher temperature. If progress of the flow of the molten material is desired to be reviewed during the melting and subsequent flow, a somewhat higher temperature that is less than the finally reached temperature may be first used and the arrangement checked thereafter to see that the tacked beads have remained on their bases and begun to reflow. This need not be done, but rather the arrangement can be subjected to the final temperature for the desired period of time. A typical final temperature would be 230� C. with the arrangement subjected to this temperature for one hour.
At that point, the microbeads will have become entirely molten and flowed over the surface of the base on which each is located until the edges of the base are reached at which point the flow will go no further. Since there is such a flow, the microbeads initially need not be tacked to any particular part of the base 24' as the flow and surface tension will result in the form being spherical and centered. Upon removing the arrangement from the oven and permitting it to cool, the result is shown in FIG. 4F where the forms for the lenslets, 25', are in the shape of a partial sphere, i.e. the form suitable for a planar convex lens. The desired diameter for such lenslets have been achieved by having the molten material flow to the edge of the bases 24' which have the desired diameter.
Other possible ways for using surface tension to lead to a partial spherical shape might be to use photoresist on top of the silicon substrate with the photoresist having circular holes therein corresponding to the desired lenslet locations. A microbead inserted in each hole and permitted to reflow within that hole and over the top thereof will again through surface tension provide the desired shape. A modification of this method would be to add some kind of dam around each such photoresist hole to control the flow extent.
The master surface provided by the arrangement constructed through the preceding steps, that is the upper surface of the structure of which a portion is shown in FIG. 4F, is then used to form a mold. Gold is first evaporated on the master surface in preparation for nickel plating. Nickel is plated over the gold coated surface to a thickness of approximately a quarter of an inch. After this plating, the arrangement having the master surface is separated from the plated nickel mass, this latter nickel mass serving as a replication means. This nickel replication means can be used as a mold insert. Of course, further nickel replications may be needed for a multiple cavity mold, as spares, etc. These can be provided by well known methods.
The nickel replication means used as mold inserts are machined to fit into the mold and to provide for the desired thickness of the block means 10 in FIG. 1 depending on the separation desired between the lenslets 11 and the semiconductor chip photodetectors as may be suitable for the optical system design. The mold inserts are put into the molds and polymethylmethacrylate plastic lens are made through injection or transfer molding means which are well known. The result is shown in FIGS. 1 and 2 as block 10.

On the Design of Some Feedback Circuits for Loudspeakers
In this paper, some basic relationships of feedback will be reviewed. Special attention will be paid to an optimal choice of the controller. The general optimization technique of Kessler will be described. This technique will be applied to control systems with only one dominant time-constant. It will be shown that this general procedure may be applied to a loudspeaker system. An equivalent control circuit for a loudspeaker will be derived and the state-variable feedback design may be applied. A practical loudspeaker-feedback system will be described. Attention will be paid to the general concept of this system and to the Kessler-optimization technique. Furtheron, the circuits used in this system, the design of the feedback system, measurements, and results will be discussed.

Balzac's Omelette: A Delicious Tour of French Food and Culture with Honoré de Balzacby Anka Muhlstein
View All Available Formats & Editions
"Tell me where you eat, what you eat, and at what time you eat, and I will tell you who you are. "This is the motto of Anka Muhlstein's erudite and witty book about the ways food and the art of the table feature in Honoré de Balzac's The Human Comedy. Balzac uses them as a connecting thread in his novels, showing how food can evoke character, atmosphere, class, and social climbing more suggestively than money, appearances, and other more conventional trappings.
Full of surprises and insights, Balzac's Omelet invites you to taste anew Balzac's genius as a writer and his deep understanding of the human condition, its ambitions, its flaws, and its cravings.
Editorial Reviews
The Washington Post
The New York Times Book Review
"Fabulous . . . worth nibbling on, as prelude or accompaniment to the pièce de résistance, 'The Human Comedy.'" —New York Times Book Review
"Balzac's Omelette . . . is a charming and modest little book." —New York Review of Books
"Muhlstein uses Balzac as a guide to the French culinary scene of the 19th century in a literary analysis that is original, delectable and entirely readable." —The Washington Post
"This scholarly yet escapist book explores how French cuisine influenced Honoré de Balzac's genius… irresistible." —Daily Beast
"An absorbing and insightful portrait of Balzac…and of the role that food played in 19th-century France." —Wall Street Journal
"Muhlstein's gastronomic and cultural tour of 19th-century France is concocted from food references in Balzac's work." —Entertainment Weekly
"Felicitous phrasing, a scholar's sage scope, and enormous fondness for Balzac's panoply of characters mark this charming, intimate look at the French novelist's depiction of the highs and lows of 19th-century French society, as reflected in its culinary offerings... Muhlstein delves lovingly into Balzac's characters, misers and gluttons alike, and finds the presentation of food an important indicator of social status, and well-cooked food equal to a woman's love." —Publishers Weekly
"The story of post-Revolution food in Paris and the rise of food as a literary metaphor, as told through Balzac's work…Not just for French lit majors—honest." —France Magazine
"Like the many feasts it describes—historical and fictional—this book presents readers with course after course, carefully crafted to appeal to palates with a taste for history, biography, or literary criticism…Well written and thorough, this title will appeal most to students of French history, lovers of Balzac and his writings, and those with a deep interest in food history..." —Library Journal
"'Balzac brought meals into literature,' writes Anka Muhlstein, delivering up an elegant, mouthwatering feast. Here is food as characterization, as preoccupation, as consolation—a gastronomic tour of 19th century France in which Balzac serves as headwaiter." —Stacy Schiff, author of Cleopatra: A Life
"Alimentarians great and humble will want to own, read, and reread Balzac's gastronomic tour of nineteenth-century Paris and the provinces, reconstructed from his food-infused novels with delicacy and brilliance by Anka Muhlstein." —Jason Epstein, Eating: A Memoir
"This is a superb book, a delightful plunge into 19th century French culture and life in all its glory, a real page turner. If you love books, the art of writing, or dinner parties, if you revel in France, if travel and culture are your thing, Balzac's Omelette will please you more than any other book this season. Bon appétit!" —André Bernard, author of Now All We Need Is a Title and Bartlett's Book of Anecdotes
"Reading Balzac's Omelette is like going to a party where all the guests are brilliant and entertaining, the food is exquisite, and you wish it would never end." —Jeanne Martinet, author of The Art of Mingling
"For anyone who loves to read, or eat, or both, Anka Muhlstein's terrific Balzac's Omelette is a must: the historian takes on the evolution of food in fiction—specifically Balzac's—with results that I could (but won't) call mouth-watering. I'm a total food-history nerd, but I don't think you'd need to be to enjoy what's ultimately a treatise on the making of modern French culture." —Sadie Stein, The Paris Review Daily
"Anka Muhlstein folds wit into scholarship as easily as breaking an egg. Let us now join hands and say grace for her brilliant and beguiling Balzac's Omelette." —Patricia Volk, author of Stuffed and To My Dearest Friends
"Balzac's Omelette is perhaps less of an omelette than a light and charming soufflé. Or perhaps a meze, where you can pick and choose among choice bits of information or anecdote at will. And ultimately it has the effect of awakening your appetite for more than food…sending you back to the bookshelf to reread Balzac's novels themselves." –The East Hampton Star

Read an Excerpt
The most astonishing illustration of Balzac's taste for ephemeral luxury is the meal he had delivered to him in prison; yes, Balzac was in prison for a spell, not for debts but for evading—several times—his duty to serve in the National Guard.
Every citizen who lived in Paris had to spend a few days a year on guard duty, and those who failed were condemned to a day's incarceration. Deeming this constraint intolerable, Balzac succeeded in avoiding it on numerous occasions, most often by claiming he was traveling or by simulating a house move: he would stay with a friend for a few days and wait for the danger to pass. Sometimes he did not escape in time but wriggled out of the tight spot by offering a few gold coins or a couple of good bottles of Vouvray to the arresting agents…until the day when he eventually had to submit to the law and was unceremoniously dumped at the Hôtel des Haricots, the National Guard's own prison.
Once he was settled in his third-floor cell, he sent his valet to his publisher, Werdet, with a note asking him to send money.Werdet complied immediately, and went to the prison armed with two hundred francs. To his considerable surprise, Balzac thought the sum miserly but invited him in to dine. He had arranged to have a meal delivered from Véfour, and explained to Werdet that he had deliberately chosen one of the most expensive restaurateurs in Paris because, on his release, he wanted to leave behind memories of "every tradition in the art of fine living." So, down they went to the refectory at the agreed time and, at one end of a long table, they saw a magnificent meal set for two. It was theirs. The two friends enjoyed a succulent dinner; Balzac proved in excellent humor when, at about seven o'clock, the door opened and another draft-dodger came in: Joseph-François Michaud, editor-in chief of La Quotidienne, a royalist newspaper to which Balzac gladly contributed. Michaud eagerly accepted the invitation to share in Balzac's "modest" meal, and the evening ended in very high spirits.

This book contains an interesting history of French food/cuisine and how one author utilized it in his works and life. It should be of interest to foodies and fans of Balzac (the author); however, while well-written, I do not see it as being appealing to many people outside of these groups.
I believe that I've only read one Balzac novel (in college and in translation). Anyone with an interest in food and culture will like this lively book. If you're a Balzac aficionado, even better.

I have a webservice returning json data. I have no control over the server side generated json.
I'm deserializing json like this:
The problem is there are inner objects embedded (with a whole lot of more nested inner objects). I have no interest in modeling them in my application.
The json-data goes like this:
id : "xyz",
name : "Some Object",
properties : {
prop_1 : "foo",
prop_2 : "bar"
inner_object : {
id : "abc$1",
name : "Inner Object Name",
// a whole lot of stuff here
// with more embedded objects
I would like to model the outer object as a simple POCO, where the inner-object is referenced by just a (String) id, not an object reference.
public class Outer
public String Id { get; internal set; }
public String Name { get; internal set; }
public Dictionary<String,String> Properties { get; internal set; }
// Just keep the InnerObject Id, no real reference to an instance
public String InnerObjectId { get; set; }
I guess I could write an JsonOuterObject version with a real object reference to JsonInnerObject and construct my real OuterObject from there, throwing away the other objects afterwards ... but that's way too lame. (I don't want to see my name next in a commit like that)
So I'm playing around with Json.NET's IContractResolver (overriding the DefaultContractResolver) now, but it looks like I'm in for a long ride here.
Am I missing some obvious Json.NET feature that takes care of this for me here ?
Or maybe some pointers what methods of IContractResolver are interesting here ?
EDIT: A POJO in .NET is a POCO aparently.

Saturday long runs with my hubby are a highlight to my week. It gives us time to chat, laugh, have fun, and of course to run. I'm so lucky that we both enjoy running and that we can have that time with each other. He's faster than me but willing to take my pace on our together runs, and during the week we do our own workouts.
This past weekend, we ran 12 miles in the downtown areas of San Jose. Let's say this was not a great route at all - not super pretty and way too many stoplights. I enjoyed the part on the Guadalupe River Trail, but we run it a lot so it becomes less interesting after a while. The run itself went great and we both felt good; strangely, I didn't even feel as tired as I usually do.
One fantastic part to my weekend run included my new Ellasport capris. I was lucky enough to win them on a blog giveaway from Bari and they came in the mail just in time for my Saturday run day. My brain told me not to wear new capris for 12 miles, but I didn't listen and did it anyway. And you know what? It was no problem at all!
Because I love them so much, I want to give you a few highlights of my new capris. All opinions are my own and no one asked me to write this, so you get all honesty here. I received the new Power Capri in size medium from Ellasport, and the design is very cute. I like the white accent on the back and the little pink flower on the leg. Can you tell I'm a girly-girl...
Thoughts on design:
Seams - The interesting note about the seam design is that they stick up a little bit (maybe this makes it flat inside?) I like the look and feel and had no chafing issues at all.
Length - I'm tall and the length hit a little below my knee. It was enough that it didn't bother the back of my knee, which sometimes happens with shorter capris. This is good.
Fabric - Perfect. Stretches just enough, not too much. They did not fall down while running AT ALL. Even my favorite Lululemon capris slip a little. When I reached to fix them out of habit, they hadn't moved. Now that I could get used to. They breathed well, wicked sweat, and stayed fab looking for the whole run.
Pocket - The white section in the back is a good size zipper pocket. I didn't use it this time because I carried gels in my water bottle, but it would fit them well if needed. I always prefer the zipper pocket.
Waist - The waist is higher and hits above my belly button, which might be why they stay up so well. I often prefer the higher waist on my running capris and liked this one a lot.
Drawstring - The drawstring is my only 'con.' It's pink (cute touch) and ties. I found it to be a little thick which made the knot more noticeable on my tummy, although not a real problem after I had them on for a while. I prefer drawstrings to be continuous instead of having to be tied (no chance of losing it inside the waistband), but that said I tied it to help the capris stay up anyway.
Overall, I'm so glad I had the chance to try the Power Capri and that I discovered Ellasport. Thanks again to Bari from Live, Laugh, Run, Breathe and Pam from Ellasport for the great experience!

I'm so glad you loved the capris & had a fantastic (although not real scenic) run in them.ReplyDelete
My hubby likes to run with me on Saturdays too, but that's hard for me. He's a bit faster & slows down but I have more endurance for distance & I worry he's going to struggle at the end. Plus, I like the solitude of my long run. Even when we do run together we don't talk. :-)Replies
And thanks again for the giveaway! I'm a happy girl.Delete
Ohh those DO look great! Thanks for the detailed run-down. When I'm ready to buy a new pair, I'll definitely be keeping Ellasport in mind.ReplyDeleteReplies
Thanks, and you should def consider. I'm a new Ellasport fan.Delete

By Paulette – May 26, 2013As you may remember, I've been doing my best to follow the Hanson half marathon plan for the last couple of months with a race goal of the SF Half Marathon . The Hanson plans focus on building cumulative fatigue, and let me say right now I'm finding out how that works. My legs and body really feel it with every run at this point, and dare I say I haven't even run the plan to its fullest. There are quite a few things I love about the Hanson plans and also a few parts that have been very challenging for me. What I love. Training paces: The book outlines training paces based on your goal times. Although I initially thought they sounded too slow, I'm learning that keeping these paces isn't always as easy as it sounds once the legs are super tired. The paces start to make sense. Hard days versus easy days: They focus on hard effort days followed by easy effort days, meaning the hard days are really hard and the easy are really easy. I love this. I feel like I have
By Paulette – January 20, 2012This post is dedicated to a few friends who have recently started running or will be soon - they know who they are. And they ROCK! Running has done so much for my life, and I want people to know why I love it and to encourage others to stick with running too. The story of how I started is in the 'Why I Run' tab of this blog, but for this post I'm focused why I keep running. Here it is, not necessarily in order of importance. 1. Running relieves stress. When I feel anxious or have had a rough day, running always helps. I often can't wait until it's time to run that day, and sometimes I sneak out at lunch instead of waiting until after work. It makes me feel amazingly focused and happy for the rest of the day. I don't even run with music - I enjoy listening to my footsteps and freeing my mind in the great outdoors. 2. Running makes me happy. The runner's high is real, and I'm addicted. I love nothing more than feeling the exhausted-happiness I get af
By Paulette – February 25, 2013On Saturday, I ran the Lake Chabot Trail Half Marathon in Castro Valley, CA. It was my first Inside Trail Racing event, and I was very impressed with the race organization. I've been trail running for a few months now, but this is only my third trail race event; I love how much more laid back the races are and how everyone seems really into it. I know I am! Exploring new trails and parks is a fantastic way to spend a day. I didn't go into this race with specific goals, I wanted to run the hills as much as I could and use it as a hard training run. I ended up feeling really good, the weather was cool but sunny, and the lake views were pretty. This half didn't have as much elevation gain as many trail races and parts were on paved bike trail, so it was definitely easier than the other trail races I've done. The drive was only about 40 minutes from San Jose and I was there in plenty of time to get parking, pick up my race bib, and to chat with friends. I knew quite a f

Blog: Here's what Tom says about that!
Is America ready for a white First Lady?Posted March 20th, 2012 by Tom
Oh, puh-lease, Mr. Gingrich!
For those who haven't heard the latest political kerfuffle, actor Robert DeNiro spoke at an Obama fundraiser at which Michelle Obama was the featured headliner. He led off with a joke…
De Niro asked to cheers from the crowd.
Now that's funny!
Newt Gingrich, always the model of decorum and respect, said that President Obama should be held accountable "when someone at his event says something as utterly and totally unacceptable as Robert De Niro said last night. And I call on the president to apologize for him."
Coming from the man whose thinly-coded, race-baiting approach to campaigning (Obama is the best food stamp president in history; schools should hire underprivileged children to do janitorial work; not to mention his policy proposals that would disproportionately harm people of color), Gingrich's umbrage at DeNiro's joke brought a wry smile to my face.
He had the chutzpah to spout,
How absurd. Race infuses every aspect of the current election just as it did in 2008. Anyone who doesn't see it either has their "race blinders" firmly in place, or else simply isn't paying attention. It is apparent to me that Nixon's "Southern Strategy" of exploiting and exacerbating the separations among white and black voters is alive and well in 2012. We have a long way still to go in undoing the racism that continues to infect the political, corporate, education, justice, medical and any other system you can name in our "land of the free."
What I found disappointing is that the Obama campaign fell for Gingrich's silliness. Mrs. Obama's press secretary said, "We believe the joke was inappropriate."
As for DeNiro? He won't comment. His publicist said, "It was obvious satire."
No kidding.

A couples of weeks ago I photographed Gabi's and Mike's romantic cenote elopement! We had been planning this day for so many months and finally we were there, making it happen! I was so happy the day was sunny, and was super excited to spent the afternoon with these two beautiful souls! My favourite part of the session was when I asked them if they would like to have a first dance as newlyweds. I lend them my iPhone, they searched for a song and started to dance away!
I could not be more thrilled to share this session with all of you! Almost a year ago I was invited to photograph this beautiful family at Westin Cancun Resort and Spa. This hotel is very special to me – when my family moved for the second time to Cancun, it was this hotel my dad used to work for. He took me one day with him, and I was able to roam around the corridors, play at the pool and kids club when I was just 10 years old, I made some friends (so easy when you're a kid!) and left loving the place. 15 years later, I finally had a session booked in this hotel, and I knew exactly what spots I wanted to take pictures in.
I LOVED photographing Kristina's and Matt's Secrets The Vine Wedding. The hotel is one of the best in the area and I was thrilled to take wedding pictures in this gorgeous location! From the first e-mail Kristina sent me I knew she was the sweetest person, and when we met over Skype I had no doubt this celebration was going to have lots of beautiful moments!
A couple of weeks ago I was invited to photograph Shanae and Scott during their Hyatt Zilara Cancun Anniversary, and I gotta tell you, I had so much fun! Shanae has a sparkly personality, and hubby Scott is all about making her happy. This session was a total breeze! Scott even snapchatted a couple of histories during our shoot (PS! I just joined this app – Add me as monicaxlopez )
Natalia and Ming's Iberostar Cancun Wedding was a beautiful celebration! Friends and family flew from USA and Brazil to attend this fun Cinco de Mayo wedding.
How they met sounds like from a movie: After a friends birthday, everyone gathered at Ming's apartment for the after party. Natalia went to check on two of her girlfriends and guess who opened the door? ;) The rest is history:
"Ming proposed on March 2010 when he took me to what was supposed to be a lunch with friends. From the parking lot across the street from the restaurant, you could see a large banner on the Alaskan way sky bridge that said, "Naty, voce quer casar comigo?" ("Naty, will you marry me?"). I had no idea that the proposal was for me (even though it said Naty on it), until I turned back to Ming and saw him on his knee, with a ring in his hand… That was a moment I will never forget!"
I'm happy to announce that Monica Lopez has been listed as a member of Best Destination Vendors (you can check my listing here) under the category Cancun Wedding Photographers.
Nicole and Eric had their Destination Wedding at Gran Caribe Real at the heart of the hotel zone. Wow, where to start about this wedding? I was asked to come over and make just a 1 hour portrait session with bride and groom and their wedding party after their ceremony. The time scheduled was at 2PM, where the sun is a its peak and during August, no less. I took with me a big bottle of water, lots of sunscreen and arrived on time to see the newlyweds walking out from the chapel. When I saw Nicole on her wedding gown and Eric on his stylish suit I wished so much they had booked me for the entire ceremony – I could swear they looked like taken out from a magazine!
This photo shoot has one of the craziest jumps I've ever photographed! That's what you get when you shoot with such a fun and outgoing family like the Wallaces.
Jenny and Scott wanted to commemorate their Cancun vacation with some beach photos, and wow! The water was an especially beautiful color that day.
Gorgeous bride to-be Alejandrina contacted me a year ago for her Destination Wedding at Dreams Riviera Cancun Resort & Spa. My middle name is "Alejandra" and my boyfriend's name is "Marco", so when I first read her inquiry I was sure this was destiny placing us on each other's path! They both meet as teens and reconnected through Facebook (another thing in common – thanks, internet!) and they never let go again. Soon I knew she had a great vintage-chic vision for her wedding and I couldn't wait to photograph every little detail.
Her wedding was everything a bride would like it to be:

This place claims to be an Extended Stay now but it is still a Homestead Studio Suites (yes I know they are owned by the same company). The only changes they made were flat screen tvs, a few light fixtures, free breakfast, and Extended Stay bedding. They didn't even upgrade the mattresses. Same old kitchen, old outdated chair and ottoman that are worn out, and same nasty red carpet that is in most Homesteads. If you don't wear shoes your feet or socks will be black. I guess if I knew I was going to a Homestead I wouldn't be so disappointed but knowing all the changes Extended Stay has made I was expecting much more.
Also just like other Homesteads there are a lot of deadbeats living there standing outside smoking, drinking, and talking loud all night. This hotel is right next to the train tracks too so you have that noise to deal with. Even though I get full bars on my computer the wifi is incredibly slow. The only good thing about this place is the staff.

John Dumke
Dumke, John
John Dumke lost his courageous battle with Leukemia on Saturday, March 30, at home with his loving wife Sue and sister-in-law, Janey by his side. John was born Aug. 21, 1951, to Leo and Carroll (Ihde) Dumke of County Line. John was married to his sweetheart Susan Wasurick on June 5, 1976 and also resided in County Line until the time of his death.
Aside from spending time with family and friends, John loved working on tractors and farm equipment. John began working for his father right out of high school at Dumke Farm Supply. In 1981, John and his brother, Richard went into partnership and purchased the business from their parents and renamed it Dumke Brothers Farm Equipment Sales & Service, where he worked with Richard and his wife, Sue until the time of his illness. John always said that he never considered their customers as customers, rather they were all friends.
John was a proud member of the Oconto
Elks Lodge
#887. This organization was very dear to his heart and John was Elk of the Year for his Lodge in 2011 and shared that honor with his brother, Rich in 2007. He always enjoyed grilling steaks for their golf outings, flipping pancakes for their pancake breakfasts and working the Elks tents during Copperfest & the fishing derbies. The one event he most enjoyed helping out at was the yearly Venison Stew Dinner.
John had many interests and loved the outdoors. In the summertime he loved golfing with his golf buddies and his friend, Dennis Shufelt and his nephew, Ryan Earley. He also loved fishing and especially looked forward to their yearly family and friends camping trip at Shakey Lakes in Michigan, where he could fish with his nephew, Dan Mills from Indianapolis. John also enjoyed deer hunting on his friend Kent's property. John often served as the grill master at family gatherings and he loved gardening and mowing the lawn. John was a life long bowler and enjoyed playing cards with the guys after league each week. He was an avid Packer fan and they enjoyed getting together at Janey's to cheer on their team. John also enjoyed watching shows about Alaska and dreamed to go there one day. One of John's most favorite hobbies was making maple syrup each spring with his brother, Rich and other family members. Mrs. Butterworth couldn't compete with the Dumke's maple syrup.
Survivors include John's wife, Sue; his parents, Leo and Carroll Dumke; a brother, Richard (Wendy) Dumke, Oconto; a sister,Sandy (Vic) Heitzkey, Green Bay; a sister, Barb (Jim) Shufelt, Oconto; and a sister, Darlene (Paul) Meagher, Fremont; a sister-in-law, Mary Mills, Indianapolis; a sister-in-law, Judy (Ken) LaFortune, Oconto; brother-in-law, Jim (Dede) Wasurick, Green Bay; Donna Bushmaker, Oconto; special sister-in-law, Janey Belongia, Oconto. John has many nieces, nephews, great-nieces and great-nephews who will miss him terribly. He was preceded in death by his grandparents, August and Thersa Dumke and John and Lillie Ihde; his father-in-law and mother-in-law, Alvin and Ruby (Reed) Wasurick Sr.; three brothers-in-law, Alvin Wasurick Jr., Roger Wasurick and Rocky Mills; and two sisters-in-law, Jean Belland and Elizabeth (Betty) Wasurick.
The family received relatives and friends at the Gallagher Funeral Home, Oconto, from 4 to 9 p.m. Wednesday, April 3, 2013, with an Elks service at 7 p.m. Visitation continued on Thursday, April 4, from 10 to 11 a.m. at the First Presbyterian Church, Oconto.
