As a boy growing up in Texas, J. Luther King Jr. hunted for arrowheads on his family's farm. "It's a rush to pick up something that's been lying there on the ground for hundreds of years," says King, whose downtown Fort Worth, Texas, office features artwork made from arrowheads he has found or collected over the years. "I don't do it much anymore, but when I'm out, I can't help but look at the ground."
For King, 73, that compulsion to see what others overlook has, for decades, been focused on the stock market. More than just the figurehead of Luther King Capital Management, the firm he started in 1979, King goes into the office on weekends, makes company visits, and works closely with his nearly 20-person research team.
Luther King mixes top-down sector calls with bottom-up analysis of stocks for growth and stability. Dan Sellers for Barron's
While most of its $12.5 billion in assets under management are held in separate accounts, the firm runs eight of its own mutual funds, including the $244 million LKCM Equity Institutional fund (ticker: LKEQX). Over the past five years, it has averaged annual returns of about 6.9%, better than 92% of its large-growth peers.
Although King launched the fund in late 1995 to serve institutional clients with smaller portfolios, the no-load fund is available to retail investors with a $2,000 minimum. (The word "institutional" in its name is a bit of a misnomer.) Still, the firm hasn't gone out of its way to market the fund. "Some years ago, it started to get noticed because of results," says King, whose fund tends to hold up better than its peers in turbulent markets. "Now, as it gets larger, it's attracting more interest."
After graduating from college and serving in the U.S. Air Force Reserve, King planned to save for law school when a job in the credit department of a regional bank sent him on a lifelong detour into finance. That experience became "the North Star guiding my investment philosophy," he says. "It taught me the danger of excessive leverage and sloppy accounting."
To be sure, if there's one common theme with the 80 to 90 holdings in the LKCM Equity fund, it's a bias toward financially sound companies that are among the leaders in their respective niches. "Some people would say we're very Buffett-like," he says, referring to Warren Buffett's taste for keeping it simple, buying on bad news -- he's currently keeping 9% of his portfolio in cash for when fear takes hold. "I think the market will be higher at the end of the year, but I'm willing to hold that cash because I think we might get a dip," he says. Turnover has averaged just 23% in the last five years.
King and his team combine top-down views on individual sectors -- for example, the portfolio was recently overweight industrials and underweight financials -- with bottom-up analysis that emphasizes the return on equity and cash flow, as well as the stability and predictability of those numbers. Though the fund sits in the large-cap space, it tends to punch below its weight with a weighted-average market cap of $84 billion and the flexibility to invest in companies of all sizes.
King and his team meet with more than 1,000 companies a year and are prolific in their research. "This isn't just three guys and a Bloomberg machine managing a fund," says King, adding that he prefers to spend money on research than on marketing; if performance is strong, he figures, word will get out.
Within most sectors he follows a hub-and-spoke approach, mixing companies that provide stability with those that provide growth. Take energy.

"Cabot is a Marcellus gas play," says King, referring to the massive underground shale formation stretching from upstate New York to West Virginia, and as far west as Ohio.

Merck is trading at 13 times 2014 earnings, versus more than 16 for the group.

"A number of the big pharmaceutical companies have done things in the past year or two to enhance shareholder value beyond just research and development of new drugs," he notes.

King likes the "razor-blade effect" of another industrial, $7 billion Pall (PLL), a maker of filtration, separation, and purification products used in an array of industries, including aerospace and winemaking.

Product Description
"Elliott may be writing under the influence, but it's the influence of genius." ―Vanity Fair
"Elliott writes with a grace and precision that calls to mind Truman Capote's landmark work, In Cold Blood. He, too, is fascinated by questions of motive, how our capacity to love is disfigured into evil, and our tangled mechanisms of denial." ―The Boston Globe
"A searing, self-conscious memoir of drug addiction, obsession and art as a means of survival." ―Minneapolis Star-Tribune
"It opens with this line: 'My father may have killed a man,' then continues for 208 taut, high-wire, brilliant pages . . . With candor so raw it makes me never want to use 'fiercely honest' to describe another writer's work." ―Las Vegas Weekly
"You won't find a more provocative, masterful, thrilling ride than this." ―San Francisco Chronicle
About the Author
Stephen Elliott is the author of seven books, including Happy Baby, a finalist for the New York Public Library's Young Lions Award. He is also the founding editor of the online culture magazine TheRumpus.net.

Events are not presented in chronological order, yet the narrative is understandable and relatively easy enough to navigate nevertheless. While not for everyone, particularly those with tender sensibilities, this book is a remarkable read. Those who peruse its pages will be rewarded by the creativity, insight, and pure art-form that comprise Elliot's writing. The subject matter is incredibly disturbing, yet like Adderall, a Schedule D amphetamine from whence the author's addiction lent the book its name, once you fall into the story it is extraordinarily challenging to break free.
In some ways a real-life version of John O'Brien's heartrending Leaving Las Vegas, Elliot's book was supposed to have been a true-crime drama, yet it morphed into an autobiography along the way. The backdrop is the nearly six month trial of Hans Reiser, a brilliant but curmudgeonly Linux programmer, who was accused of killing his estranged wife Nina. Despite hiring a respected attorney, Hans' narcissistic personality, peculiar behavior, and condescending manner undermine his case before the jury. The proceedings take a bizarre twist when Sean Sturgeon, Nina's former lover and Hans' closest friend, enters the picture. A BDSM (bondage and discipline, sadism masochism) aficionado who traveled in the same twisted circles as Elliot before becoming a born-again Christian, Sean not only confessed to eight (7 ½ really) unrelated murders but also, according to Hans, played a considerable role in Nina's disappearance as well. As the trial began, her body had not been found.
Regarding Sturgeon, the author relates, "I've heard of him digging a knife in his own arm, carving RAGE, or standing naked in the middle of a room while several women strike at him with leather straps, his blood pooling at his feet. But, that was before he became a Christian. Now he goes to church every week, volunteers at the soup kitchen on weekends... I'm sitting across from a man who may be a murderer, but I can't tell." In an extraordinary coincidence, Elliot's own father also confessed to a murder in his memoirs that he may or may not have committed. Unlike fiction, truth really does not always have to make sense.
The truth of Elliot's life is that it has been crammed with heartbreak and misfortune. Tortured by a father who beat and intimidated him, he watched his mother slowly die from multiple sclerosis as a youth, emptying her urine bucket as she lay atrophied upon the couch too weak to care, before running away after she passed on. Shuffling amongst group homes, he lost four close childhood friends to overdose or suicide in six years. Ultimately he found release in drugs and violent sex, working as a stripper, a drug dealer, a professor, and a writer, among other things. While these experiences are nearly as painful to read as they must have been to endure, he has learned to transcend his anguish to write about relationships, love, and loss with brilliant, memorable prose. One sentence alone makes for poignant example, "But I don't know about Mike yet, the taste of gun like a mouthful of coins, his wife, five months pregnant with a second child, stopping in front of the door with no idea what awaits her inside."
Stephen Elliot is the author of seven books, including the critically acclaimed novel Happy Baby. His writing has been featured in mainstream magazines such as Esquire and GQ, and newspapers like the New York Times, as well as unconventional publications such as The Best American Erotica and Best Sex Writing. A guy who intimately understands depression, addiction, and life's bitter challenges, he tackles thorny subjects in interesting, meaningful, and, ultimately, enlightening ways. His newest work, The Adderall Diaries, is an unforgettable read.
Lawrence Kane
Author of [...], among others
Note: originally reviewed in the Sep/Oct '09 issue of ForeWord Magazine
Steven Elliot was from Chicago, where his Cambodian father settled after immigrating, his mother died a premature death from MS (multiple sclerosis), leaving his father a young widower. He soon remarried, and started a new family. Elliot spent most of his teens in a boys home, unwanted/unclaimed, his father appeared in court, mostly to provoke Elliot in rage; refusing to disclose his home address.
Elliot would spend most of his young adult life homeless, keeping his possessions including his snowboard and bicycle in his car. In traveling he noted Nevada 50 as "the loneliest road in America." He had many friends, the lovers he had were usually inappropriate for him. He was attracted to women who hurt/humiliated him, masochism he was well aware of, yet unable to change, powerless to prevent.
Elliot was contacted by his father who wrote negative insulting reviews for his books on Amazon; he also earned extra income writing, journalism, and filing reports for 20/20. Elliot noted Geoff Dyer's book: "Out of Sheer Rage" and how Dyer worked through a major depressive episode studying the writing of D.H. Lawrence. William Styron the author of "Darkness Visible", spent time in mental hospitals, often incoherent by pills and treatment, was cared for by his wife in his later years, meeting her as a brilliant young writer. Elliot also wrote about Sylvia Plath's suicide, and Norman Mailers observational quote: "The private terror of the liberal spirit is invariably suicide and not murder."
The side effects Elliot experienced from increased dosages of Adderall were troublesome: the anxiety, tension, anger, forgetfulness, yet he felt the medication gave him confidence, he was often unable to write without the meds. He referenced Elizabeth Wurtzel, at 40, a beautiful student in law school, writer of "Prozac Nation": who chronicled more memoirs of mental illness and addiction to pills.
Elliot was aware of Nina Reiser's mysterious 2006 disappearance: a mutual friend had been in love with her, and reportedly sending her money. Strangely, his friend confessed to eight murders, all unproven; prompting Elliot to write about this crime. Nina's husband Hans, had met her while on a business trip in Russia, she was a beautiful gynecologist, wishing to practice in the US. Han's was a brilliant computer programmer who assisted in developing the Linux computer operating system. He and Nina married in 1998, and had two children. Han's was found guilty of her first degree murder in April 2008, and led investigators to Nina's body: (for a reduced sentence), buried in a shallow grave, near a public park in Oakland, CA. This story was covered by various true crime media shows.
This was a sensationally well written book, there were no fillers or gaps in the storyline that induced boredom. It was unfortunate the way Elliot's father treated him throughout, unaware of the problems and life long difficulties his son was facing. If Elliot bore ill will or need for revenge against his father, it seemed to be a quick/passing emotion, as he attempted to seek a meaningful connection. Highly recommended!
It sounds like a lot of plates to keep spinning and Elliott does it with seeming effortlessness (which is never effortless when you try to write such things). The pace never lags, and the compelling, beautifully written voice never lets you down.
His work has an admirable honesty, lovely, sharp, intelligent prose, and a great ability to bring the reader into the emotional landscape of the text.
I could go on, but the short version is that this is one of the best books I've read in a couple of years and I'd HIGHLY recommend that you read it too. 5 stars.
If you are looking for an autobiography, a true crime novel, a depiction of life with drug addiction or even just an introduction to S&M, you can find much better. It was hard to finish (and I wouldn't have, except it was for a bookclub).
The author , obviously, has had a tough life. It seem miraculous that he managed to grow to adulthood.
The murder case he is covering is one that I am familiar with. Unfortunately. I was disappointed that the testimony of Nina's little son was not covered . But, I probably missed the point. This book reveals such personal sufffering.

Polycythemia vera is a disease in which too many red blood cells are made in the bone marrow.
In polycythemia vera, the blood becomes thickened with too many red blood cells. The number of white blood cells and platelets may also increase. These extra blood cells may collect in the spleen and cause it to swell. The increased number of red blood cells, white blood cells, or platelets in the blood can cause bleeding problems and make clots form in blood vessels. This can increase the risk of stroke or heart attack. In patients who are older than 65 years or who have a history of blood clots, the risk of stroke or heart attack is higher. Patients also have an increased risk of acute myeloid leukemia or primary myelofibrosis.
Recommended Related to Non-Hodgkin's Lymphoma
Follicular lymphoma is a cancer that affects white blood cells called lymphocytes. They help your body fight infections. There are two types of lymphomas: Hodgkin's and non-Hodgkin's, based on the kind of white blood cell they affect. Follicular lymphoma is a non-Hodgkin's lymphoma. When you have follicular lymphoma, the sick blood cells can travel to many parts of your body, such as your organs, bone marrow, and lymph nodes (pea-sized glands in your neck, groin, and under your arms that are...

Symptoms of polycythemia vera include headaches and a feeling of fullness below the ribs on the left side.
Polycythemia vera often does not cause early signs or symptoms. It may be found during a routine blood test. Signs and symptoms may occur as the number of blood cells increases. Other conditions may cause the same signs and symptoms. Check with your doctor if you have any of the following:
- A feeling of pressure or fullness below the ribs on the left side.
- Headaches.
- Double vision or seeing dark or blind spots that come and go.
- Itching all over the body, especially after being in warm or hot water.
- Reddened face that looks like a blush or sunburn.
- Weakness.
- Dizziness.
- Weight loss for no known reason.
Special blood tests are used to diagnose polycythemia vera.
In addition to a complete blood count, bone marrow aspiration and biopsy, and cytogenetic analysis, a serum erythropoietin test is used to diagnose polycythemia vera. In this test, a sample of blood is checked for the level of erythropoietin (a hormone that stimulates new red blood cells to be made).

Alas, Tony Bennett isn't the first to travel down the rocky duets path and he certainly won't be the last.
Of course, there's nothing wrong with like-minded artists getting together and indulging in an extracurricular jam sessions, but that doesn't mean that the results should be inflicted on the world at large. Rare is the occasion when such pairings are based on any consideration of style or legacy.
Frank Sinatra's 1993 "Duets" album, featuring collaborations with Gloria Estefan, Bono and Kenny G, was one of the low points of his career, made particularly excruciating by the ultra-slick production and the fact that the guest singers sang along to tapes of existing Sinatra performances.
Ray Charles's final album, "Genius Loves Company", featuring, among others, Norah Jones,the ubiquitous Elton John, Natalie Cole, Diana Krall and and Willie Nelson, may have flown off the shelves in the wake of the great man's death but it was hardly the elegant swansong that critics and long-standing fans had in mind.
Tony Bennett is too seasoned to make that mistake.
Though he rounds up the usual suspects ( Elton John, Sting, Bono, Elvis Costello, Diana Krall ), Old Big Tony remains in charge.
At 80, his chords aren't so nimble, but his phrasing and reading of the orchestra are effortless. Surprisingly, it's George Michael who comes closest to matching him here. For his signature song " I Left My Heart In San Francisco" : the piano becomes Bennett's partner for a wintry but eloquent swansong.
There's no disputing that Bennett, whose career spans five decades, boasts a fine body of work. It's also fair to say that his golden years are now behind him, which makes it all the more distressing that, to mark his 80th birthday, he should see fit to pair up with a series of young pups and bask in their leather-clad glory. Surely a party and a birthday cake would have been more than adequate.
This isn't the first time that Bennett has played the duets card. His last release, "A Wonderful World", a collection of songs associated with Louis Armstrong, was recorded with kd lang. Given that lang and Bennett are both gifted interpreters with pseudo-operatic voices, it made perfect sense and was widely praised.
By contrast, "Duets: An American Classic" smacks of an artist who longs to stay musically relevant. On paper, at least, it's an album that belongs to that dubious Grammy-grabbing genre in which pop and rock royalty put on a glitzy show of mateyness while conspicuously failing to push the envelope.
At 80, Bennett justly qualifies as "An American Classic." And he sounds like one on this starry duets set on which he's teamed with the so called SERIAL COLLABORATORS... a new generation of musicians, who have all but abandoned their own musical endeavours in favour of hitching a ride on those of older musicians..Read more ›
Tony Bennett's old-age pension CD is much less embarrassing than Frank Sinatra's post-70 Duets projects a decade ago. For starters, the ever-classy Bennett insisted on recording in the same studio with his "partners", even if it meant traveling to wherever they were across the globe.
This makes "Duets: An American Classic" better than similar projects even though it's no ''American Classic.'' (No problem -- Bennett's catalog is graced with plenty of American classics: "Cloud 7", "Perfectly Frank" and "Hot & Cool: Bennett Sings Ellington", to name just three).
On "Duets", there is noticeable interplay between the guests and Bennett -- sounding a bit huskier but still a singer's singer and endlessly charismatic.
He and Barbra Streisand sound comfy and flirtatious on the oft-recorded "Smile" and Bennett and James Taylor get into the playful spirit of "Put on a Happy Face".
Country star Tim McGraw is the big surprise -- not only that he's here, but that he sounds unrecognizable (and not half-bad) crooning Hank Williams' ballad "Cold, Cold Heart".
Naturally, a lot of this feels awkward. Paul McCartney sounds stiff and self-conscious on "The Very Thought of You". Juanes doesn't sound right on "The Shadow of Your Smile", either.The Dixie Chicks are largely wasted on "Lullaby of Broadway".
And Ms. Dion is over-the-top, as always, on "If I Ruled The World".
Perhaps if the arrangements and song selection weren't so slavishly locked into the Great American Songbook way of doing things, "Duets" would be of more interest.
3 *** just for my huge respect for Mr. Bennett.

still clueless no matter what the name.
It is a standard talking point of Republicans and deficit hawks of all political stripes that federal spending is out of control; that major surgery is needed, especially on entitlement programs such as Social Security and Medicare, to get the budget on a sustainable course.
In fact, our long-term deficit situation is not nearly as severe as even many budget experts believe. The problem is that they are looking at recent history and near-term projections that are overly impacted by one-time factors related to the economic crisis and massive Republican tax cuts that lowered revenues far below normal.
Taking a longer-term view, such as that in a recent Treasury Department report, shows that our longer-term fiscal problem is in fact quite manageable.

Frustrated that House Republicans are seen in surveys as the main obstacle to resolving the stalemate over sequester, Speaker John Boehner used some unusually blunt language Tuesday morning to lay the problem at the Senate door.
We have moved the bill in the House twice, he said Tuesday morning as President Obama continued his public relations blitz with a visit to a military installation in Newport News, Va.We should not have to move a third bill before the Senate gets off their asses and begins to do something.
The beleaguered House speaker could use a refresher course in constitutional prerogatives. Passing two bills in the last Congress doesnt count; each Congress has to start anew. And his insistence that the Senate go first is an admission that the House is incapable of finding a solution to the fiscal impasse.
By turning over his prestige, power, and initiative to the other body, saying,Let the other Republicans take the pain, he is surrendering the constitutional power given to the House, says Samuel Popkin, a political scientist at the University of California at San Diego.He is admitting failure, defeat.

When you take from those who work and give to those who wouldn't, the democracy," or in our case the republic, "ceases to exist."
To a communist-minded diehard believer, Id like to ask just when you think the Cuban and North Korean states are going to flower into social-anarchist models of economic and social equality. Not only is it a sick joke to suppose that such governments will ever evolve into even this shortsighted morass of inanity, but that anarchism itself will ever manifest according to such a model. Since free or freed markets are the only ones consistent with the absence of political government, it follows that socialism , at least as a universally preferred default system , would and could never endure on any large, lasting scale, absent an oppressive government bootheel to keep it hobbling along by armed force. Such is the case now. And so, we can fully expect, will it ever be in the future. Human nature, and human desire, operates along quite different lines.It is more than instructive to take note of even a percentage of what is contained in Marxs infamous 1848 Manifesto of the Communist Party: Abolition of all private land ownership, and rights of inheritance. Government monopolization of all transportation, communications, and educational systems. Forced redistribution of population (forced assignment of place of residency). A government-monopolized central bank. A heavy graduated tax on earnings. As to this last, Marx was quoted as saying that such a tax was necessary to crush the middle class under the guise of a need to finance the government. In other words, Marx was in no way above blatant deception in order to garner widespread support for a tax which in truth was designed not simply to prevent financial upward mobility among the masses, but to prop up a fiat currency creation scheme with which to ensnare and enslave the world.

Fred Chaney, WA
Attended Garma with: I have attended Garma with colleagues through the Yothu Yindi Foundation, and as guest speaker.
Why I think Garma is important: We say so glibly that Australia is the home of the world's oldest living cultures yet so much we do is destructive of them. Garma is an extraordinary window into the reality vibrancy and continuity of those cultures, the great parallel universe of Aboriginal culture that is unique to us as Australians.
Why I pledge my support of the Yothu Yindi Foundation: Nothing just happens, people make things happen. The YYF is the vehicle for ensuring this meeting of our settlement culture with Aboriginal culture happens along with the two way learning we can each offer to the other.
My memories of Garma: Each time glorious windows into people absorbed by dance and music that I do not own but which I prize as part of my country. Often sharp but always helpful exchanges on our past successes and failures, but most important on how together we shape our shared futures.
Edward Tudor, VIC
Why I think Garma is important: Garma brings together people from diverse fields - politics, academia, commerce, education and more - and, free of the buzz of emails and ring of phones, allows all to share knowledge, struggles, ideas and ambitions.
Why I pledge my support of the Yothu Yindi Foundation: pledge my support for the Yothu Yindi Foundation because of the strength that it provides to Yolngu people and, in turn, Indigenous people across Australia, and because of the way that it unites Indigenous and non-Indigenous people and organisations in the common goal of celebrating and enabling Indigenous people and culture.
My memories of Garma: Spontaneous conversations, sparked in the dinner queue, but carried all the way home and through the months and years that follow.
Teresa De Santis, NT
Attended Garma with: Miwatj Health Aboriginal Corporation
Why I think Garma is important: To maintain a strong Yolngu culture
Why I pledge my support of the Yothu Yindi Foundation: To ensure that Yolngu are able to continue to share their culture with others.
My memories of Garma: I have attended Garma from 2004 - 2010 as part of the health team providing health services to participants of Garma.
Alexandra Cunnngham, NSW
Attended Garma with: my Grandma
Why I think Garma is important: It is important to my heritage and culture
Why I pledge my support of the Yothu Yindi Foundation: By donation of $3000
My memories of Garma: It was indescribable. No words. Recommend highly. My grandma adored.
Sophia Carroll, QLD
Attended Garma with: Volunteer Crew 2011
Why I think Garma is important: Garma is incredibly important to so many people for very different reasons. I know for myself it was an incredible way to experience and celebrate Country and culture. It provides a rare opportunity to immerse yourself in learning, listening and sharing, to bare witness to and also be engaged with important conversations.
Why I pledge my support of the Yothu Yindi Foundation: I pledge my support to the Yothu Yindi Foundation for its ceaseless and seemingly tireless energy to not simply celebrate culture but also bring it into new areas of awareness. To stay true to it's foundations and create a world where culture is shared.
My memories of Garma: Garma was an incredible experience. Being apart of the volunteer team gave me the time and opportunity to soak up the area, get to know so many people and enjoy every sunset at the spectacular festival site. I got to walk with the rangers and talk about botany, hear stories about the constellations and check out some incredible films and documentaries too. My favourite, without a doubt, was everyday's sunset bunggul... shivers down my spine every time. Such incredible dancers.

Almost Half of GOP Voters: ACORN Stole It Again!
(Never mind they don't even exist anymore! They stole it anyway!)
UPDATE: Even Glenn Beck's 'news' site calling out Repubs for ACORN fantasies…
By BRAD FRIEDMAN on 12/4/2012, 4:59pm PT
It was bad enough when a majority of Republicans were so disinformed after the 2008 election that they thought ACORN stole the election (almost 10million votes, apparently) for Barack Obama.
Now that ACORN is no more (since early 2010), the massive disinformation campaign that Republicans have been suckered into believing seems to continue nonetheless. Just under a majority of self-identified GOP voters think the non-existent ACORN stole the electionagain this year for Obama! Those tricky non-existent bastards, apparently, somehow stuffed the ballot box 5.5 million times and never got caught even once!
From Public Policy Polling today, who note that Republicans are "not handling election results well"…

July 26 1966 G. K. c. HARDEsTY COMPOSITE ILLUMINATION DEVICE Original Filed Dec. '7. 1960 INVENTOR.
HA RDES T Y 7 r ATTY United States Patent O 3,262,224 COMPOSITE ILLUMINATION DEVICE George K. C. Hardesty, P.0. BOX 156, Mayo, Md. Original application Dec. 7, 1960, Ser. No. 74,438. Divided and this application Sept. 29, 1964, Ser. No. 404,546
Z Claims. (Cl. 40-130) The present application is a divisional application of applicants `co-pending application Serial No. 74,438, iiled December 7, 1960.
The invention described herein may the manufactured and used by or for the Government of the United States of America for governmental purposes without the payment of any royalties thereon or therefor.
The present invention relates to panel illumination and more particularly to the illumination of control console indicators under conditions running from near or total darkness to high ambient illumination Many critical equipment failures or other emergency conditions can result fr-m the complexities of modern aircraft, shipboard, land missile control equipment. To protect the ship or aircraft or missile and the personnel who must Work around it continuous monitoring and alarm systems have been progressively developed. Several types of these monitoring and alarm systems employ audible signals to attract attention of personnel but in some instances there is `ditiiculty in providing distinctively different audible signals lfor each of the monitors. In other instances, as in the submarine, audible signals must -be silent for long periods and reliance placed on silent warning signals. Available visual signals, however, do not cover the necessary range of application needs. There is little available to the ship or 4aircraft designer between the pilot or indicator ligh and the large rotating flashing signals of the familiar police squad car or amlbulance. Conspicuous, attention demanding, legend displays, which are compact and inexpensive, are needed to provide many shipboard and shore installations with adequate monitor warning signal systems.
Many types of indicator lights and p'anel illumination devices have been suggested for use on control consoles. The failure of many existing indicator displays to be discernible in high ambient illumination has been the cause of much concern in both shipboard and aircraft situations. When a number of conventional indicator lights are grouped together, the total array is too bright for comfort for near-dark adaptation viewing. Further, the full significance of the light being energized is often a matter of training and memory because it has not been possible heretofore to read the legends on nearby nameplates with prevalent ambient illumination. Some dim-out cap assemblies utilize back-lighted, stencilled, legend discs lbut their use entails a sharp reduction of maximum brightness that depreciates the effectiveness of the signal, particularly in the higher ambient illumination now prevalent in new submarine construction. Translucent signal panels have in the past been rear illuminated by lamps placed fbehind the panel. However, such attempts at rear illumination invari-ably have resulted in uneven ineffective illumination if the lamps are .placed close to the rear panels, or vastly reduced brightness if the lamps are sufficiently removed from the panels to result in reasonably uniform brightness. It should also be noted that in some instances, suflicient space is not available behind the console panel for removal of these lamps in case of lamp failure The present invention permits efficient presentation of displays which are particularly suitable for use in high ambient illumination conditions. The underlying optical system is capable of use with various types of illumination sources with greater eliiciency in both power and space than was possible with most prior art devices.
3,262,224 Patented July 26, i966 The illumination provided by this invention achieves uniform high brightness displays that are suitable for use in control and monitoring applications where the uneven, ineffective displays which were prevalent in many prior art devices are virtually useless. These advantages are provided basically by a closed-loop or reentrant optical circuit wherein the light source is shielded from the indicia to be illuminated lby an opaque barrier. In accordance with the invention, light from the light source is carried around the opaque shield, in accordance with the laws of total internal reflection, by a transparent light transmitting element.
Accordingly, it is an object of the present invention to provide an improved illuminated signal device adequate for use under conditions of high ambient illumination as well as under conditions of near or total darkness.
Another object is the provision of a system for effecting local zones of rear illumination in translucent signal panels with the result that uniform brightness symbols on the panels may be selectively illuminated in accordance with the needs of a monitoring or control equipment.
A further object of the invention is to provide a small illuminated-legend, indicating module capable of presenting information without the need for auxiliary nameplate interpretation.
Still another object is the provision of a legend display which will ybe conspicuous, attention demanding, compact, inexpensive, and optionally capable of presenting the displayed information in a series of coded colors.
Other objects and many of the attendant advantages of this invention will be readily appreciated as the same becomes better understood by reference to the following detailed description when considered in connection with 4the accompanying drawings wherein:
FIG. 1 is a sectional view of one embodiment of the present invention;
FIG. 2 is a sectional view of a modified device similar in concept to FIG. l; and
FIG. 3 is a sectional view of another embodiment of the invention.
Referring now to FIG. l, there is shown an embodiment of the invention in the form of a display device 10 wherein a plurality of different types of light sources are utilized. The display device 10 comprises a light source in the form of lamp Sil mounted in an aperture 32 in a light input panel 36 having a reflective beveled edge 37 cooperating with the reliective lbeveled edge 38 on an edge lighted display element 40. On display element 40 are provided a number of engraved indicia 41. The assembly of elements 36 and 40 is held in an enclosing housing or light shield 44 which may be mounted on any suitable control panel. In a cavity 4S defined between the elements 36 and 40 there is provided an electroluminescent element 46 which has its light emitting side facing the light input element 36 and also has a. black coating on the surface facing the edge lighted display element 4t). The black coating on the electroluminescent element 46 serves as an opaque light ybarrier which prevents light from passing from the lamp 30 directly through display element 40.
A second electroluminescent light source 48 is placed adjacent the opposite face of light input element 36 with its light emitting side also facing element 36. Provided on both faces of light input element 36 are a plurality of engraved light diffusing facets 50 which are designed to -direct the light emitted from the electroluminescent sources through the reentrant light circuit of the lamp, i.e., light input element 36 and edge lighted display element 40, whereby substantially .all of the light emitted from both electroluminescent sources and lamp source 30, except -for that portion of the light flux which is caused to be emitted from the lamp by indicia 41, will be continuously reflected between the reflective faces of both elements. If desired, the inside of the housing and light shield 44 may be coated with a light reective paint. lIt will also be realized that light diffusing facets 50 may be metalized if desired to enhance the refiective capability.
Referring now to FIG. 2 there is shown an embodiment of the invention in the form of a circular, plug-in, indicator module 60. The module of FG. 2 comprises a pair of light sources 62, 64. The light sources 62, 64 are encapsulated directly or by means of a transparent gel or highly viscous fiuid in a clear light transmitting element 66 which is mounted for cooperation with a light carrying element 68, having reflective beveled edges 69, 70 for transmitting light from sources 62, 64 to an edge lighted disp-lay element 70 having engraved indicia.
71 to be illuminated. The elements 66, 68 may be considered together as a light input element of a light recirculating circuit including the display element 70.
The light Sources 62, 64 are connected by suitable `conductors for energization by connecting .a voltage source across prongs 73, 74 which project through a Wall 75 of a support member 76. The elements 66, 68, and 70 are housed as an assembly by the support member 76 and a combined bezel, body and window member 77 which is threadedly secured at 77a to the support member and includes a window portion 77b overlying the display element 70. In addition to lamps 62, 64, there is provided an electroluminescent panel 80 which is designed to provide a directly lighted field behind element 70 against which the indicia will be silhouetted for low ambient Viewing. It further serves as a light barrier to eliminate any direct lighting of indicia element 79, by lamp sources 62 and 64. Additionally, the electroluminescent lamp forms `a visual background for the high luminence level edge lighted symbols or indicia '/"1 of the display element '70 when lamps 62 and 64 are energized instead of the electroluminescent lamp. Thus, the electroluminescent lamp may be utilized to display the tota-l area of the viewing window or alternatively may be used to display merely a masked off portion forming an alternate symbol to be viewed under conditions of low ambient illumination. The electroluminescent lamp 80 is connected by suitable conductors, as illustrated, to prongs 81, 82 to which suitable electrical power may be applied to energize the lamp 80 to a luminescent state.
FIG. 3 shows an embodiment 90 similar in many respects to that shown in FIG. 1 but wherein a cylindrical or hemispherical element 91 is interchanged with the disc or rectangular shaped light input element 36 of FIG. 1. As s'hown in FIG. 3 light input element 91 is cylindrical or hemispherical and is designed to cooperate with the edge lighted display element 92 which is held in place by a 4bezel 93 on a console panel 94. The display element 92 is provided with engraved indicia 92a to be illuminated, and beveled, internally reflective edges 92h. Mounted within cylindrical or hemispherical light input element 91 is an opaque light barrier 96 upon which is mounted light source 97. An electroluminescent panel 100 having its light emitting side facing the front of the .assembly is mounted around the periphery of light input element 91 or may be an integral part of input element 91. If separate it may be more effectively coupled optically to element 91 by a transparent gel or viscous fluid. It will again be realized in this embodiment that in place of a lamp source 97 there may be `a fluorescent tube or if element 91 is a cylindrical rather than hemispherical shape, linear sources of light such as the linear tungsten Lumiline lamp r the Aperture iiourescent lamp recently developed by Sylvania Electric Products may be used as a light source. As required to divert light rays for total internal refiection within 4 element 91, prismatic surface interruptions similar to 50 of FIG. 1 would be provided in one or both surfaces of element 91.
Obviously many other modifications and variations of the present invention are possible in the light of the above teachings. It is therefore to be understood that within the scope of the appended claims the invention may be practiced otherwise than as specifically described.

I wanted to try a different tea recipe and I needed to use up the apple juice in the fridge. This worked out great. It was a good tea.
oh my goodness, sharon, this is some of the best iced tea I have EVER tried! :) I loved that the apple juice and honey made it sweet enough without having to add sugar... and believe me, I like things sweet! lol. I made this for my mom and I for a girl's day in and we both loved it. I used 4 tension tamer celestial seasonings tea bags with 2 english tea-time [I ran out of the celestial...hehe] and it was perfection! can't wait to make this again... but I will have to double the recipe of course! ;)
This was so good. I can imagin this as a hot drink also. Very smooth combination.
A nice flavorful iced tea! I used a little higher ratio of tea to juice (5 cups water with tea bags). Delicious & refreshing. ZWT 3
Very good, we think it would be better hot.
Perfect iced-tea for the summer or winter! Does not have a heavy tea flavor and the allspice kicks it up a notch!
I'm not really a tea drinker but I thought I'd give this a go as it appeared from the ingredients that the tea wouldn't be too overpowering. I was right this was a very nice subtle iced tea, not too sweet and not too overpowered by the tea taste. One I will make again, thanks!
Delicious, Sharon, just delicious. I really enjoyed this cold and refreshing tea. I liked that you could taste the tea, apple, honey and allspice. Its a nice balanced, semi sweet, apple flavoured tea with a hint of spice. Thanks so much for sharing.
