Bio and Links
When it comes to genealogy, I truly believe in the saying, "A Picture Is Worth A Thousand Words". Tombstone photos can sometimes hold obscure clues to the lives of our ancestors.
Please send requests thru the "Edit" tab which is on the upper right of each memorial page. If you are requesting links, please supply the memorial #'s as well as the names and relationships.
I try not to create duplicate memorials. But it does sometimes happen. If you notice one I have made, please notify me. If you have created a memorial in the wrong cemetery, or as burial unknown, and mine is in the correct cemetery, my memorial is not a duplicate. Please do not move your memorial to that cemetery.
Thank you and Happy Graving.....

You're welcome - I wouldn't remove the photo request, though, because it's possible I missed it. It is a well kept cemetery...I was impressed that where the stones were known (either now or at one time), there are aluminum memorial 'cards' placed in front of the headstone, to help with identification.

And who would think to look for a young child at the Stockton Asylum? He may be one of the youngest patients I've found so far, but there have been others. Heartbreaking really, but I suppose even a youngster who is acting out in a dangerous way has to be contained in a controlled environment. No doubt asylums were not ideal places for children (or most adults who weren't dangerous) but from many accounts Stockton was among the better ones in its earlier history anyway.
My biggest objection to the asylum is how the gravesites weren't respected in later times. Some were moved to another nearby location, others were not and who knows where any of the patients actually rest. To my knowledge, most of the early burial sites are built over, paved over, or under a fountain and water area. I'm just trying to account for the early patients.
Anyway, it's wonderful to know there are others who wish to know about their kinfolk and where they are buried.

Conferencing with Pitch-Excited Channel Vocoders
The use of digital vocoder systems presents many problems in the area of conferencing communications. Certain of these problems are discussed and possible solutions are suggested. Voice-excited vocoders have many advantages over pitch-excited vocoders from the standpoint of conferencing; however, the pitch-excited vocoder has the advantage of greater bandwidth savings. Effort spent in development of conferencing techniques for pitch-excited vocoders should be repaid many times by the savings obtained in bandwidth requirements. Thus this paper deals almost exclusively with the problems involved in conferencing with pitch-excited vocoders.

Good morning, it's Sunday, March 16, the 75th day of 2014. There are 290 days left in the year. We'll start the day in the lower 50s with clouds and a slight chance of showers. It will be windy today, and cooler with highs only in the upper 50s. Wind gusts as high as 40 miles per hour are possible. Lows overnight will be in the 30s.
(Today's Forecast And Conditions)
On March 16, 1903—111 years ago today--Judge Roy Bean died in his saloon in Langtry of lung and heart problems. He was buried in the Del Rio cemetery. He might have been a footnote to history had he not been named a justice of the peace in Pecos County in 1882 (a job he held almost continuously until he retired in 1902). The Handbook of Texas described him as "an eccentric and original interpreter of the law" who once fined the corpse of a man who died in a fall from a bridge $40 (which is what the man had in his pockets) for carrying a concealed weapon, and then used the money to pay for the funeral. "His shrewdness, audacity, unscrupulousness, and humor, aided by his knack for self-dramatization, made him an enduring part of American folklore,' The Handbook of Texas said.

Serena has put Roland Garros loss to Razzano behind her
Serena Williams tells reporters at the Family Circle Cup that she will not let her shocking first-round loss to Virginie Razzano at the 2012 French Open affect her during the red clay-court season.
"I can't let that hang over me," Williams said. "It's not that big of a deal. I think it only is as big as you make it, and if I make it big, it'll be big.
"For me you gotta let that bad energy go and just accept good things to come into your life and it will."

TELL CITY—Erika Hauenstein and Amanda Wagner each won two individual events and two relays as Tell City beat Southridge 106-74 in girls swimming Thursday.
Hauenstein won the 200-yard individual medley in 2:29.30 and the 500 freestyle in 5:49.90.
Wagner won the 50 free in 25.64 seconds and the 100 breaststroke in 1:10.94, just 20-hundredths of a second off her personal best set in last year's sectional.
Those two teamed with Chelsea and Bailey Malone to win the 200 medley relay in 2:01.47.
LEOPOLD—Perry Central used its pressure defense to outscore Orleans 16-8 in the fourth quarter and beat the Bulldogs 41-32 in PLAC girls basketball Thursday.
The Commodores led only 25-24 after three quarters but held Orleans to just two field goals in the final period.
"I think we wore them down a little bit," said Perry Central Coach Bill Dickerson. "We got some steals and got loose on some breaks.
TELL CITY—Tecumseh scored 15 points in overtime to beat Tell City 63-55 in PAC girls basketball Thursday.
"We played really well," said Tell City Coach John Lyons. "But we made a few key turnovers (in overtime) and they hit some key shots."
Tecumseh had trouble hitting three-point shots most of the game against Tell City's aggressive man-to-man defense. "We got out and played hard," said Lyons.
TELL CITY—Tell City swept the diving but won only one other event as it lost to Southridge 92-60 in boys swimming Thursday.
Junior Taylor Maddle won the diving with 216.50 points, his first time above 200 points this season.
Logan Bolin placed second with 185.15 points, also a personal record, and Chris Martin took third with 104.60 points.
Tell City also won the 200-yard freestyle relay. Nick Bower, Jerry Ammon, David McDaniel and Greg Clayton swam it in 1:46.66 to win by 12.60 seconds.
TELL CITY—Tell City used a full-court press to force 21 turnovers and defeated South Central 70-47 in boys basketball Saturday.
With 6:65 left in the game South Central's Dylan Carpenter made a three-point shot from the left wing, cutting the Marksmen's lead to six, 47-41.
The Marksmen went back to what had worked for them in the first quarter as Shane Weedman scored a basket from the low post.
Trent Gunn made a basket from the left baseline extending the Tell City lead to 10.
LEOPOLD—Hank LaRue answered each Perry Central run with clutch shooting as Mater Dei beat the Commodores 74-62 in boys basketball Saturday.
Mater Dei, ranked sixth in the state in Class 2A and a possible sectional opponent for Perry Central, built a 38-23 halftime lead as LaRue scored 15 points.
Despite Mater Dei's depth and quickness, Perry Central was able to cut that gap to five with a full-court press in the third quarter.
WASHINGTON—Cannelton's shooting woes continued in a 67-40 boys basketball loss to Washington Catholic Saturday.
The Bulldogs hit just 22.0 percent from the field overall and 5 of 39 from three-point range.
"We were getting good looks, but nothing was dropping," said Cannelton Coach Brian Garrett. "We were hesitant on our outside shots. We catch the ball and think about our shot instead of being confident and taking the open shot."
TELL CITY—Tell City won four matches by pins in a 40-18 wrestling victory over Pike Central Tuesday.
The Marksmen also won three decisions. And for once forfeits did not hurt them as they scored as many points on forfeits (six) as they gave up (two weight classes were double forfeits).
Jessie Lawalin, Ryan Henrickson, Jared Keown and Zach Roberts earned Tell City's pins, all in the second period.
Kyle Shrubb won a 13-5 major decision for the Marksmen. Andrew Dauby and Dylan Froehlich won regular decisions.
FRENCH LICK—Cold field-goal shooting and a lack of depth hurt Cannelton's girls basketball team as it lost two games in Springs Valley's tourney Saturday.
The Bulldogs had only six players for the first-round game (two seniors were taking the SAT and did not arrive until halftime of the consolation game) and lost to Springs Valley 47-45.
Cannelton led 11-1 early. "Then we kind of got lost on defense in our (3-2) zone and gave up a lot of uncontested shots on the wings," said Cannelton Coach Mike Garrett.
TELL CITY—C.J. Fentress won two individual events and a relay to lead Tell City past Northeast Dubois 107-63 in girls swimming Tuesday.
Fentress won the 200-yard freestyle in 2:14.70 and the 100 free in 1:01.44.
She teamed with Chelsea Malone, Bailey Malone and Jennifer Dinkel to win the 200 free relay in 1:55.30.
Erika Hauenstein, Amanda Wagner and the Malone sisters won the 200 medley relay in 2:03.04.

Are Pisceans and Virgos
Suitable For Each Other?
Water and Earth, but that's not all. Dear Pisces, pay attention to the charming Virgo: it's your opposite sign in the zodiac, six months away. Have you ever tried to get two magnets close to one another?
In my opinion, there are two possibilities regarding this combination: either Heaven or Hell on Earth. The initial attraction will be very strong. The practical and realistic Virgo will be amazed at this ethereal and imaginative creature, and Pisces, in his/her turn, will be fascinated by the accurate thinking of this methodic native.
Virgo is very good at things that require preciseness, critical talent ((s)he has it and uses it with no reserve) and verbal ability. Pisces... is good at everything that is NOT precise. As for Pisces' talent, it's so well hidden under his/her unselfishness that it almost doesn't exist.
There is nothing a Pisces cannot understand, and this will bother a skeptical and rigorous Virgo. Pisces has vision, intuition, emotions and an inclination towards symbols. Virgo is often very idealistic and way too perfectionist! (S)He sees the world so clearly and is so good at discovering flaws, criticizing when (s)he thinks necessary and noticing what the others can't notice!
Each of them has what the other lacks. Where Pisces sees the wonder of the world and contemplates it silently, without trying to spoil it by analyzing it, Virgo comes with appropriate tools to measure and divide, to find qualities and defects, to classify and ask questions.
A Virgo can become extremely tiresome to a Pisces that is able to discover beauty everywhere, is unselfish by nature and tolerates so much. Pisces can't understand why we have to ask so many questions and criticize so much, while Virgo can't understand how anyone can contemplate without exploring. Pisces' answer would often be just a shrug of shoulders, but Virgo doesn't give up so easily: the tendency to analyze things will make him/her try to understand everything about Pisces' way of thinking...
On the other hand, Pisces gets tired very quickly when being interrogated... And Virgo will soon become mad if (s)he doesn't succeed in getting the truth out of Pisces' soul.
Virgo is very rational - don't you ever forget that! -, (s)he is almost thrifty, and if you ask him/her, (s)he will often tell you that this is a quality, not a deficiency. Pisces is wasteful, (s)he buys on a first impulse and (s)he doesn't care very much about savings, money and laying by for a rainy day. This might lead to quite many conflicts because Virgo thinks Pisces fritters away and the latter can't understand how a wonderful medieval map, some painting or some other thing that stimulated his/her imagination could seem a trifle to anyone!
The objectivity Virgo is trying to show in everything (s)he does (and criticizes) is annoying to a Pisces, who knows the nature of subjectiveness so well and understands any behavior, accepts anything and tries to love instead of analyzing.
Virgo is also well-known for his/her practical sense and for how hardworking (s)he is. Pisces, let's admit it, is not really into work. A reality infusion would not hurt the visionary Pisces on the condition that Virgo knows when to stop. But Virgo's practical sense is something much too earthly for Pisces.
You both have agile spirits, and Virgo's energy is often directed towards this world, so you will enjoy talking, but your views are so different that it looks as if you spoke two different languages.
Virgo often has a very rigorous system of moral values, that won't please Pisces, to whom morality is just a convention... On the other hand, Pisces is very emotional and impressionable, and Virgo doesn't understand this sentimental effluvium that could flood everything!
Virgo knows (s)he has to be productive and strong, practical and with his/her feet planted firmly on the ground. Only (s)he will find it rather difficult to catch the dizzy Fish by the ankles, because Pisces often lives among the clouds.
If Pisces could be more practical - much, much more practical - things could have a very good turn. But, as it usually happens to relationships with which stars don't agree, Pisces will have to offer very much. The problem is: how soon will his/her resources run out?
Sexually, Pisces has a rich imagination, and (s)he will know how to make Virgo get rid of that day's stress. The Virgo native tends to consider sex very important, but his/her mind will often be set on the problems of the day and (s)he won't be able to unwind that easily. And, again, Virgo doesn't express his/her feelings too much, and Pisces, although (s)he knows the lesson of altruism very well, needs more love proofs than Virgo can offer.
But still, Virgo does things whole-heartedly: once you explain to him/her what you need, (s)he will try to do anything for the Pisces whom (s)he believes to be a strange wonder from another planet. Virgo has a real communication talent, and it could improve the relationship considerably. Unless Pisces gets tired of so much criticism. Remember that Virgo does not criticize out of instinct, or at least (s)he doesn't think (s)he does it: Virgo criticizes because (s)he believes that's the right thing to do.
Therefore, is it possible? There are no evasive answers here: it will be all or nothing. It will last either a month and after that, both of you will head towards other relationships, or a lifetime. You will both know very soon what you are in for. Compromise is essential in a relationship with so many astral obstacles.
Pisces Woman - Virgo Man
Love Match
The Virgo man associates love with certainty, with satisfying physical needs, and compatibility at the intellectual level. For the Pisces woman, love is almighty, it is the quintessence of life, it is beauty, romanticism and intense experiences.
The tenderness and the discipline in the Virgo man's sexual life can't satisfy the great, barrier-free wishes of the Pisces woman.
If the Virgo man does not give up the close-minded mentality that governs his sexual life, the relationship with the Pisces woman will be uncomfortable for both and will lack satisfactions.

Hardenbergia violacea
|Hardenbergia violacea
|Hardenbergia violacea
|Scientific classification
|H. violacea
|Binomial name
|Hardenbergia violacea
(Schneev.) Stearn
Hardenbergia violacea syn. H. monophylla is a species of flowering plant in the pea family Fabaceae, native to Australia from Queensland to Tasmania.[1] It is known in Australia by the common names false sarsaparilla, purple coral pea, happy wanderer, native lilac and waraburra (which comes from the Kattang language).[2] Elsewhere it is also called vine lilac[3] or lilac vine.
It is a vigorous evergreen climber growing to 6 m (20 ft) or more, sometimes growing as a subshrub.[4] It has typical pea-like flowers which are usually violet but can be white, pink or other colours.[5] The leaves are dark green, "hard" and leathery, with prominent venation.
H. violacea is a widespread species found in many habitats. It is also widely grown as a hardy garden plant, with many cultivars now available.[5] In the UK it has gained the Royal Horticultural Society's Award of Garden Merit.[6]
H. violacea regrows from its roots after fire.[7] The roots were experimented with by early European settlers as a substitute for sarsaparilla.[7] It can be propagated from seed after pre-treatment (e.g. scarification), when around 21°C.[8][9] The seeds are naturally dispersed by ants.[9]

FIBER OPTICAL IMAGE MAGNIFIER PANEL AND METHOD OF MANUFACTURE "llhesubjfigtjmaggtransfer and magnifier device conl sists of two opposing coherent or corresponding array of fiber endings, connected by fibers of constant cross section, where on one end the fiber endings are in close proximity while on the other end the fiber endings. are
separated by an interstitial cast matrix.
It is well-known to those skilled in the art, that various plastics may be cast and hardened in order to hold groups of fiber bundles in desired positions. This invention spages a multi'gde of individual fiber endings in an orderly arrayl with theuse of a cast metal matrix an d maintaifis coherence with the opposing fiber endings! The center to center fiber spacing is larger than the fiber diameter, for the purpose of producing a magnified image by said fiber endings, when cooperating with an opposing array of fiber endings closely packed.
In order to form a functional matrix spaced fiber optical array a number of conditions must be met. First of all the process must be continuous so that no rethreading of the equipment should be necessary, since we are dealing with thousands of fibers. This continuous process is accomplished by pulling the casting and the bundle of fibers out of the mould intact, and feeding continuous strands of fibers from spools through each of the aperture holes. The Woods Metal or other heavy metal alloys are ideally suited for this requirement since they have relatively high surface tension properties, and hence they generally form a meniscus away from contacting walls. Such liquid does not enter the clearance space between the fiber and the aperture wall. Liquid plastics or polymers possess low surface tension properties hence, they generally form a meniscus toward the contacting wall. Low liquid surface tension is conducive to the so-called capillary action which phenomenon will fill the fiber to aperture wall clearance space with the liquid. Under these conditions it is substantially impossible to pull the solidified casting out of the mould with the fibers unbroken, except for relatively large diameter (0.010 inch+) fibers. For close viewing purposes, and for moderate conduit diameters with large number of elements, however, 0.0005 inch to 0.002 inch diameter fibers are necessary. Typically, a standard endoscope picture is ob tained with about 20,000 fibers, with 0.001 inch fibers the conduit diameter is about 0.22 inches. The fibers spaced at 0.012 inches apart on the output screen will give a magnification of about 13X, and a critical viewing distance of 3 feet. Critical viewing distance is defined as the distance from the screen at which the discontinuous image becomes continuous as the viewing distance is increased.
Another condition that must be met in order to obtain functional output screen mosaics or elements; the fiber distribution must be quite uniform. The human eye is capable of detecting a few percent variation in uniformity of the illumination. The holes in the aperturc plate are able to locate the fibers within a few percent of the perfect spacing. A further requirement isto fill all of the space between the fibers and the mould walls by the interstitial matrix forming liquid. It is essential hence to develop a well-controlled pressure at the aperture plate. It is not practical to seal the top of the mould, where the fiber bundle exits the mould, hence pressure can not be applied by piston type devices. The Woods metal or Cerrobend alloy used in this invention is ideally suited since it has a very high density, so that adequate static pressure may be developed by thin layers of the liquid. It was found that A inch layer of Woods metal develops a continuous cast matrix with 0.003 inch fibers at a center to center spacing of 0.025 inch. Yet another requirement is to maintain the maximum casting temperature of the alloy below the softening point of the fiber. The temperature at which synthetic or plastic optical fibers get damaged is over about 180 to 200 F. Good pouring characteristics were noted for Woods Metal and Cerrobend alloy at 170 F. No damage could be observed on fibers as a result of casting at this temperature. A further requirement is to captivate the fibers securely in the interstitial matrix. The subject metal alloys ex,- hibit a minute linear expansion after solidification. Thus the metal locks onto the fibers.
Still another requirement is to be able to polish the composite metal fiber matrix. The relative hardness of the materials plays an important role in being able to polish them simultaneously. Synthetic fibers and Woods Metal has similar polishing characteristics,
hence high quality optical surfaces are obtained at the fiber endings.
Another requirement on the matrix forming material is to harden fast, since the equipment is expensive and hence it must produce at a relatively high rate, in order to be economically feasible. A Woods Metal matrix of 11 inch X 1 inch X A. inch when cast at about 170F will solidify in less than 2 minutes when a 5 cubic feet per minute air blower is directed on the top of the casting. A comparable epoxy matrix would take hours to solidify.
The synthetic fiber has a great advantage over glass fibers due to its ability to take small radius bends without fracturing. Of course the tensile strength of the glass fiber is considerably higher than that of the synthetic fiber. The most critical region for bending or fiexural breakage occurs at the entrance region of the fibers into the solid matrix. It is extremely hard to keep glass fibers from breaking at this region during fabrication, while no fiber breakage was ever observed in this region with synthetic fibers. A further advantage of the Bismuth, Lead, Tin, Cadmium based fusible alloy of the Woods Metal type is its relatively low cost compared to the Gallium or Indium based low melting point alloys.
The complete process requires the insertion of movable guides into intersecting rows of fibers, in order to maintain coherence at the compression process of the small screen end of the image conduit. Accordingly a rectangular array of holes is provided at the casting mould, where the rows are perpendicular to each other. Hexagonal array may be provided also where the rows form angles of 60 and respectively. Wires of 0.0005 to 0.001 inch diameter are used for the guides.
Another aspect of the fabrication of the Image Magnifier Panel which must be considered is the size of the equipment and the number of fibers it handles simultaneously. The major problem with the process is fiber breakage, particularly with fiber diameters at about 0.002 inches and under, Broken fibers are easier to rethread in the smaller machines. Moreover, considerable effort goes into initially loading and threading fibers into the machine. It is hence expedient to make the panels in sections or mosaics with a relatively small number of fibers, then joining said mosaics. It was found in practice that 1,600 to 3,600 fibers may be handled in a machine with relative ease. In order to produce pictures with information quality equal to a home color television screen, for a stationary image, about 100,000 fibers are required. In addition, the coherence or correspondence of the output screen fiber endings to the input screen fiber endings must be better than 90% of the theoretically perfect coherence, For a moving image the apparent number of picture elements will increase to about 220,000. Conversely, in order to obtain the information quality ofa single frame 35 mm color film, about l,000,000 fibers are required for a stationary image. It is desirable of course to join or mate the edges of individual mosaic sub-panels, so that the joint is not visible, i.e., the picture is continuous at the joint. This is not a serious problem at the input screen, where standard state of the art fiber optical mosaic joining methods are available. On the output screen however, special techniques are required, due to the spacing of the fiber endings. The invisiblejoining is accomplished by spacing the fiber endings at the edge rows, from the mosaic edge by one-half the normal fiber center to center spacing. In this manner, when the mosaic matrix edges are mated together, the adjacent fiber centers across the joint are spaced at the normal fiber center to center spacing. The rectangular fiber array is ideally suited for this joining method, since the mosaic matrix edge is straight. For a hexagonal array, the mosaic matrix edge would have to be zig-zagged in order to maintain the one-half pitch distance from the respective edges. This would be quite cumbersome to produce.
In order to further increase the magnification factor ofthe device, it was found that the input screen may be reduced in size by a tapered compression die. No significant loss of efficiency was noted when 0.003 inch diameter fiber endings were reduced to 0.0005 inch fiat to flat hexagonal structure, with a total fiber axial taper angle. This input screen with fiber center to center spacing of 0.0005 inches, in cooperation with an output screen of 0.025 inch fiber spacing gives an overall magnification of 50X. The above optics is well suited for obtaining screen microscopes, due to its inherently high optical efficiency, compared to other types of projection screen devices. The mating of the 50X magnifier panel with a wax objective will result in an overall magnification of 5,000X.
The principal object of this invention is to provide a practical method and equipment to produce fiber optical image magnifier panels of the constant fiber cross section type, where on the output side the fibers are separated by a matrix and on the input side the fibers are closely packed.
Another object is to provide individual magnifier elements or mosaics which may be joined together to form one larger unitized magnifier panel of any size and shape deemed necessary.
A further object is to provide a fiber optical magnifier panel, and a method of manufacture, which is relatively thin compared to its picture diagonal dimension.
Yet another object is to provide practical production equipment to produce a wide range of fiber optical Image Magnifier Panels, with fiber diameters ranging from less than 0.0005 inches to over 0.040 inches, and fiber end spacings of 0.005 inches to over 0.4 inches respectively.
Still another object is to provide a direct view screen for flexible fiber Image Conduits, and its method of manufacture.
Another object is to provide a continuous economical process for assembling thousands of fibers simultaneously into a coherent magnifier device.
Another object is to obtain Image Magnifier Panels with magnification factors higher than that obtainable with close packing moderate size input screen fibers, by compressing the input screen fibers in a tapered die.
Another object is to provide a high optical efficiency and extremely compact back" projection device for photographic film reading, and its method of manufac ture. Other objects and advantages of the invention will become readily apparent from the following description when taken in conjunction with the accompanying drawings in which:
FIG. 1 is an enlarged front elevational view of the Magnifier Panel indicating both output and input screens; the output screen image is shown as it would appear beyond the critical viewing distance.
FIG. 2 is an enlarged sectional elevation view of the casting mould, with a row of fibers and two cast matrixes in position.
FIG. 3 is a view of the compression die with fiber guides in position for operation.
FIG. 4 is an enlarged front elevational view of an input screen with fibers reduced in size by tapering.
Referring to FIG. 1 the interstitial metal matrix 7 spaces and supports fiber endings 8 in horizontal and vertical rows forming a rectangular array on the output screen 9. A multitude of fibers 10 form an image conduit which connects the output screen 9 to the input screen 12. The term fiber as referred to herein is to be interpreted as light conducting members with relatively large surface area to cross sectional area ratios. Fibers of polymerized plastics or so-called synthetics are the preferred materials for the embodiment of this invention, since they may be bent several times thru an arc of about 23 fiber diameters without rupturing them. This is, of course not possible with glass fibers. The tensile strength of synthetic fibers is relatively low, however, typically the rupture strength in tension for 0.00l inch diameter fiber is in the range of 4 to 8 grams. It will be seen that the fabrication process was designed to accommodate this critical parameter. Once the device is placed in proper protective packaging, fiber breakage is considerably less for synthetic fibers than for glass fibers. Opposing fiber endings 8 and 12 are placed in a corresponding or so-called coherent manner on the output screen 9 and input screen 12. This is accomplished by the aperture plate 14 of the casting mould shown in FIG. 2, cooperating with the fiber guides I9 and 20 of the compression die shown in FIG. 3. The operation will be clear from subsequent description of the process. Referring to FIG. 2 fibers are fed thru the holes 15 in the aperture plate 14. The holes or above thousands of apertures there is a tendency even i for the heavy metal alloys with extremely high surface tensions to creep into some clearance spaces. If sufficient amount of casting material deposits on the aperture wall, fiber breakage will result. It was found in practice that when said clearance gap is about 0.001 in. with 0.010 in. dia. fiber, for 1 inch X 1 inch X A; inch casting poured at 180F, no metal was deposited on the aperture side walls after several dozen castings. A commercial alloy called Cerrobend is the preferred material for the metal matrix 7; it is made up of 50.0% Bis muth, 26.7% Lead, 13.3% Tin and 10% Cadmium, forming a quaternary eutectic alloy. The congealing point is at about 158F. Woods Metal is very similar in makeup, and has a congealing point within a few degrees that of Cerrobend. The specific gravity of Cerrobend at room temperature is 9.4.
Another rare property of Cerrobend is used to great advantage in the fabrication of the magnifier output screen. This alloy grows in size after solidification; most of the growth 0.0045 inches/inch, takes place in the first 30 minutes. Within 2 minutes of solidification the growth is 0.0025 inches/inch. The thermal contraction rate of the synthetic fiber is considerably greater than that of any metal. Consequently at cooling, a gap between the fiber and the matrix would develop immediately after the solidification of the metal. This was indeed noted when pure Indium was used for the metal matrix 7 formation. The fibers could be easily pulled out of castingsone-fourth inch thick, during handling. When the matrix 7 thickness was one-eighth inch or less, fibers would fall out of their holes freely. The unique growth after solidification of some Bismuth- Lead based alloys, specifically that of Cerrobend or Wood's Metal, imparts sufficient reduction of the hole size inthe metal so that the fiber is locked into position. No degredation of optical transmission was observed in fibers thus constrained, however. The casting mould block 14a. supports the aperture plate 14, and provides the mould cavity enclosed by wall 13. The cavity wall 13 is provided with a 5 draft angle 16 in order to facilitate the removal of the cast matrix 7 from the mould. After the first casting 7a. is poured and solidified the casting 7a is pulled along the fiber axis or vertically up to the upper position. The fibers 10 are attached to the cast matrix 7a and are pulled thru the aperture plate holes 15 to the desired image conduit length 11. Fibers 10 are fed from infinite spools. The second matrix 7b is then poured and cooled. Fiber guides 19 and 20 are now inserted between intersecting rows of fibers.
It was found in practice that hard drawn tungsten or high carbon steel wire gives satisfactory results when used for the fiber guide wires. The wire diameter should be about one-half of the fiber diameter or less, in order that the fibers are so close that they may not slip by each other in a region within a few wire diameters outside the guides in the compression die, near the completion of the die compression cycle. A high degree of coherence may thus be maintained. After the guides are inserted into the space between fiber rows, they are held taut by spring loading. Compression die 17 is placed around the fiber bundle directly above the guides 19 and 20. Compression die plunger 18 is then pushed into the desired position with the use of a mechanical drive device to obtain a close packed fiber configuration 12. Fibers 10 are cut between the second casting 7b and the compression die 17 and 18 and the magnifier panel mosaic 7 and its conduit is removed. This process is then repeated as long as fiber 10 is available from the spools. When broken fibers exceed the tolerable levels, the borken ones may be re-threaded into the aperture plate. Once the compression of the input screen 12 is accomplished, the fiber guides 19 and 20 are removed. The fiber screen 12 is now bonded by the conventional epoxy bonding process. Conventional optical grinding and polishing of the output screen 9 and input screen 12 follows.
In order to increase the magnification factor of subject image magnifier device shown on FIG. 1 and use a moderate 0.003 to 0.010 inch diameter easily workable fiber, the input screen 12 fibers may be compressed. The enlarged section of a compressed fiber array is shown on FIG. 4. The compression may be accomplished by stages in sets of pyramidal cavity compression dies. Under these conditions the fiber endings become hexagonal. It was found that when the taper angle 21 was held to 20, high light transfer efficiency was maintained with 0.003 inch diameter polymethyl methacrylate fibers compressed to 0.0005 inch flat to fiat spacing 22. More repeatable results were obtained when the dies and the fibers were maintained at 200F. during compression.
Finally to produce large screens with tens of thousands or millions of fibers, the individual mosaics must be mated together on the output screen 9 and on the input screen 12 respectively. At the output screen 9 the mosaics are bonded in side by side relationship to an optical plate. Clear epoxy resin placed directly on the output screen surface 9 and pressed against the optical plate gives the desired results; after the epoxy is hardened the multitude of input screens 12 are then placed coherently with the multitude of output screens 9 and clamped together by suitable form fitted jaws. Conventional optical grinding and polishing of the multimosaic structure follows. Great care must be taken in obtaining the input and output mosaic dimensions within relatively close tolerances. In general, satisfactory mating is obtained when the mosaics are accurate to /2% of nominal linear dimensionsOtherwise the well-known chicken wire pattern may show up in the image. The edge fiber to matrix edge spacing 23 is made one half the normal center to center spacing 24. When two mosaic edges 25 with this geometry are placed in close proximity, fiber center to center spacing across the mating edges 25 will be equal to one normal center to center spacing. Great care must be taken again to obtain close mating between matrix edges 25. For an invisible" joint the total deviation of the fiber spacing across the mating edges 25 should vary no more than 10% from the normal spacing.
It will be appreciated by those skilled in the art, that the invention may be carried out in various ways and may take various forms and embodiments other than those illustrative embodiments heretofore described.

Is it possible to send an email alert when a field of a list is empty ?
I've tried the following :
- Create a custom list, add a field named "TestField"
- Create a personal view named "TestView", filter : Show when column "TestField" is equal to "" (leave the box empty)
- Create an alert, immediate email when items appearing in "TestView" are modified
- Create an item with both fields filled
- Create an item with only title filled
Now you should receive two alert emails, but in the view "TestView" there is only one item. Is it a bug ?
Clarification : even though the item with "TestField" filled doesn't appear in the view (filtered on "TestField" empty), an alert email is sent. The alert is related to "TestView", so it shouldn't be sent, as "TestField" is not empty.

Health & Pregnancy
Pregnancy: Relationship Changes - Topic Overview
Pregnancy starts a new phase of your relationship with your partner. You can expect a natural shift in roles as well as attention to and expectations of each other.
- If you are new to parenthood as a couple, you will notice that your focus on each other is evolving into something new-attention to a third party, your future child. After the birth, you will get to know each other in new ways, as parents.
- If you have one or more children already, you are already familiar with the limited couple time available to parents. In the face of increased parenting demands, also give your adult time together high priority.
For many couples, pregnancy is an exciting time of change. Along with change, though, can come stress and new challenges. Many couples find that pregnancy poses new financial and emotional concerns that they hadn't anticipated. Some couples find it useful to see a counselor before or after the birth, to help achieve a healthy transition from "couple" to "family" or from "family" to "larger family."

Released: Sep 04th, 2013
Running Time: 145 Min.
Director: Uncredited
Company: Kink.com
Distribution Companies: Jules Jordan Video
DVD Extras: Still Gallery(ies)
Cast: Lorelei Lee, Francesca Lé, Ariel X., Penny Pax, Aiden Starr, Bonnie Day, Kirsten Price, Maitresse Madeline
Critical Rating: AAAA
Genre: All-Girl, BDSM
Little Penny Pax was training to become a cop! Imagine being pulled over by this hottie, while we rip hot orgasms from her tight little cunt. Former contract star beautiful and tough as nails? You'll have to see it to believe it, welcome Kirsten Price to Whipped Ass! Bonnie Day, a petite local masochist has her work cut out for her when paired up with Maitresse Madeline!
Kink.com, newly distributed by Jules Jordan Video, continues to bring to the kinky masses stellar fetish titles that mix BDSM with porn-style eroticism. In Whipped Ass, they certainly deliver both, plus a cast of ladies who not only fulfill eye candy requirements but also know how to keep obedient asses in place.
Penny Pax turns out to be the perfect little submissive for Francesca Lé and Ariel X, as Penny is clearly no match for the veteran performers. Perky cheerleader/army recruit Kirsten Price gets on Aiden's Starr's last nerves and pays the price by stripping down completely and having Aiden manhandle her. Maitresse Madeline shows who the boss is by whipping Bonnie Day into submission and teaching her new plaything how to take orders in a steamy lesbian sub/dom scene that should definitely get a rise from porn aficionados.
From dom/sub play to whips, humiliation, whatever your fetish likes are, they do get fulfilled in this kinky title brought to you by the fine folks at Kink.com.

I've been doing a lot of flying lately so let's talk airlines
Even though the ticket you bought was the least expensive, non-refundable, and you believe that in the event of an emergency you are stuck with it, it is only my opinion, but I do believe that most airlines are pretty compassionate. If your letter includes a copy of a death certificate or a hospital record explaining a medical crisis, there is a pretty good chance that the company will do something for you. It worked for me.
I am a dog lover, but I get annoyed at the people who absolutely must fly with their dogs. They take them aboard in a carrier and frequently let them roam loose causing those with allergies to sneeze and cough. The lady next to me complained bitterly in between sneezes. I recall a story a while back about a woman aboard a U.S.Airways flight who let Rex loose. A passenger and a flight attendant were bitten and the pilot, obviously sensing more danger, cut the flight short by landing at the nearest airport. The nasty pup caused great delays to everyone aboard.
So most of the folks online gripe about how slow the Transportation Safety Administration agents are. You might want to know that according to a recent study by Duke University, the agents at American airports may be slow, but they are very accurate when it comes to discovering weapons and explosives. I don't care how long they take, as long as they keep us safe.
In an attempt to install four more seats in economy class, Delta will be making the toilets aboard its Boeing 737-900 airplanes a bit smaller. The company says that passengers will not notice the difference because the extra needed space will be carved out from the wasted space behind the sinks and from the unused area from the back of the washroom wall. Do you believe that? Ever since they ignored my complaint about that smelly 300-pound sus scrofa practically sitting on me, I don't believe anything that Delta says. Delta is my least-favorite airline.
More than 2 million people fly in the United States each day, and yet since 1980, only three people have died as a direct result of turbulence. Of those fatalities, two passengers weren't wearing their seat belts. During that same time period, the Federal Aviation Administration recorded just more than 300 serious injuries from turbulence, and more than two-thirds of the victims were flight attendants. What do these numbers mean? As long as your seat belt is on, you're more likely to be injured by falling luggage than by choppy air.
If you are more than 75 and look it, you can wear your shoes and a light jacket while passing through the checkpoints in Florida. Does that mean at age 75 a man is not allowed to be a terrorist? I am StanGershb

KANSAS CITY, Kan. (AP) _ Time's running out in talks to avert a walkout by the United Auto Workers local at General Motors' Fairfax plant in Kansas City, Kan.
Marathon negotiations continued all week in hopes of resolving several local issues that affect 2,700 hourly workers who build the Saturn Aura and the new, popular Chevrolet Malibu.
The union's five-day notice expires at 10 a.m. Friday, but UAW Local 31 bargaining chairman John Melton said talks could continue after the deadline if progress is being made.
The union and GM reached a national contract last October, but a local supplemental agreement remains unresolved over seniority rights and job security issues.
Three GM plants besides Fairfax also received five-day strike notices.

Video Industry News Video Company News Technology Industry News Technology Company News Novelty Industry News Novelty Company News Gay Industry News Gay Company News Legal Industry News All Company News
Released: Jan 01st, 2003
Running Time: 90
Director: Frank Thring
Company: Hustler Video
Cast: Trevor Zen, Brandon (I), Jordan Perry, Joey Rey, Others
Critical Rating: AAAA
Genre: All-Sex
A solid couples tape with some bonus finger and toe sucking; may want to include in specialty section as well as new releases and couples.
A loose"plo" involving a DJ searching for a lost disc that he believe was stolen by his former friend leads us to a series of sex scenes in Miami. We learn via flashbacks that the DJ slept with his frien's girlfriend and they have since become bitter enemies.
A sweet g/g love scene on a boat is our first foray into flesh. Two buxom gals eat each other out, 69, and finger fuck while said DJ watches in delight. The blonde in particular goes the extra mile, quickly thrusting her bubblicious butt into the face of her partner as she gets eaten out from behind. The horny DJ joins in just in time to receive a sloppy b.j. from both ladies before he shifts his attention to the brunette, who gets serviced with reverse cowgirl, sitting up mish, and doggie-style.
A tame threeway g/g scene manages to suck out the momentum gained by the brisk opening but a threeway between the DJ, his pal and a hot, natural blonde more than makes up for it. The guys trade off eating her out as she blows them and jerks them off before they plug her every which way but loose, including thrusts from the side, rear and the time-honored missionary assault.
We quickly cut to a random poolside tryst between a spunky, shaved brunette and a hunky dude who both like to suck... fingers and toes that is. She gives him an excellent standing deep throat before he takes her from behind and finishes her off with a reverse cowgirl and a pop to the jaw.
We end with the DJ and his pal making up by shaking hands and banging a couple of hot sluts. A petite Asian gal slobbers one bone before getting eaten out, while the natural blonde from earlier sucks off the DJ before getting her hole filled with his ram jammer. I's not exactly a glorious finale, and the guys do't even swap girls in a show of solidarity, but it works. The splurge of goo that is splattered across the lucky girls faces proves that it was a suck-essful climax indeed.

It is a beautiful, historic building! Take a tour at the visitor's center.
Stunning white temple in a red rock back drop. They have a lovely visitor's center.
Pulling into St. George Utah was truly an Oasis from a long desert drive from California. We skipped the business of Las Vegas and drove to this small clean town called St. George. Our hotel at Abby Inn was perfect and we bought tickets to Disney "the Little Mermaid" outdoor theatre at Tuacahn, just outside St. George. I thought while buying the tickets, "oh it just a Disney, probably too young for my teens." I was so wrong! This production was FABULOUS for young and old. The engineering feat working with the shows water was a MUST SEE!Moreover, in the center of town there is a WHITE SHINING BUILDING in the middle of town. You can't miss it! It is like an Angel watching over the town. We drove right up to it. There is plenty of parking. The Building is a religious temple that has beautiful gardens surrounding it. There is a lovely air conditioned visitor center that tells you all about the building and has short 10 minute films , completely free of charge, about family subjects you would want your children or teens to think about. My two teens and I left discussing the rest of our trip about the purpose of life, our family goals. This was a great stop to do something uniquely different than most entertainment!
The St. George Utah Temple is likely the premier historical destination in St. George, being the center of worship for the members of the Church of Latter-day Saints, or Mormons. This beautiful edifice stands out of the landscape like a beacon of light, its white-washed facade reflecting the desert sun and drawing the visitor to its doors.Alas, a commoner may not enter the temple itself, due to Church policy restricting entry to members in good standing. But the Church was kind enough to build a stunning visitor center on the grounds which includes several multi-media presentations, various doctrinal materials and some history on the construction of the site. The scaled-down sculpture of Jesus Christ, Bertel Thorvaldsen's "Christus" is a peaceful and kind reminder of the Church's Christian background. Pay attention to the holes in Christ's hands in the statue.While visiting, I was greeted by the President of the mission (the spiritual and administrative leader of the Temple grounds and staff). He and his wife were kind and welcoming, even to this seeker of history but not of faith.Take the time to visit this site, set aside half a day or so, its really worth it.
The temple was very peaceful. There is a visitor center where you can hear and see Jesus Christ and see other programs. The grounds are well-kept with diversity of flowers. Very nice.
