|What: Suspense - The Lost Episodes, Vol. 3
When: March 17th
Studio: Infinity Entertainment
Price: Retail $39.98, Our:
Infinity Entertainment Group has announced a March 17th release date for Suspense - The Lost Episodes, Vol. 3. This set of the early TV anthology series boasts terrific stars and is the last of three volumes in what were previously thought lost episodes.
Great guest stars include: Boris Karloff, James Whitmore, Thomas Mitchell, Hume Cronyn, Jayne Meadows, Ward Bond, Dennis O'Keefe, Jack Warden, Walter Matthau, Walter Slezak, Jackie Cooper, Lloyd Bridges, Patricia Hitchcock, Eddie Albert, Keenan Wynn, George Reeves & Paul Stewart.
It will retail for $39.98, but is available at ClassicFlix.com for only $29.99. However, for 4 days only (until January 25th), we'll have it for the SPECIAL LOW PRE-ORDER PRICE of $24.98. Details below.
Suspense, an anthology drama featuring stories of mystery and the macabre, was broadcast live from New York over the CBS Television Network beginning in 1949 and continued until 1954. Many top stars of Hollywood and Broadway appeared on Suspense including Paul Newman, Boris Karloff, Rod Steiger, John Forsythe, Brian Keith, Chester Morris, Leslie Nielsen, Hume Cronyn, Eva Gabor, Lloyd Bridges, Jackie Cooper, Jack Palance, Jack Klugman, George Reeves and Lee Marvin. Before moving to television it had been a fixture on the CBS Radio Network since 1942 (where it remained for 20 years) winning a Peabody Award and special citation from the Mystery Writers of America. The television version successfully created the atmosphere of its radio predecessor by using the same opening announcement -- "And now, a tale well calculated to keep you in … Suspense!" -- accompanied by the familiar Bernard Herrmann theme played on a Hammond organ. Suspense was originally aired LIVE. It was never rerun in syndication so it has not been seen since its live run! In association with CBS Enterprises, Falcon Picture Group and Infinity Entertainment has recently uncovered 90 television episodes (that, until recently, were thought to be lost) of Suspense, direct from filmed kinescope masters. Collection 3 offers 30 of these 90 episodes, so be sure to look for Collection 1 and Collection 2, offering the other 60 episodes!

CHICAGO (WLS) -- Chicago and federal officials gathered on a snowy Monday morning in Lakeview to announce the completion of the CTA Red-Purple Bypass and the start of work to reconstruct 100-year-old tracks north of the Belmont station.
The Red-Purple Bypass, which began service in November 2021, is the first major improvement to be delivered to CTA customers as part of the historic $2.1 billion Red and Purple Modernization (RPM) Phase One project. The largest reconstruction project in CTA's history, RPM is modernizing and replacing 100-year-old rail structures and stations to improve rail service reliability, comfort and convenience for CTA customers, officials said.
"The reconstruction of the Red Line in our transportation and trail system has been long overdue," Chicago Mayor Lori Lightfoot said.
The new bypass is the first new, permanent mainline track to be added to CTA since the Orange Line opened in 1993.
The bypass eliminates a 115-year-old rail junction that had become a chokepoint for service across the CTA rail system and will allow CTA to add rail service during busy travel periods and reduce overcrowding and delays, according to officials.
"Our customers will see a noticeable improvement in CTA service, with increased access to trains, shorter commute times and less crowding on trains and station platforms," CTA President Dorval R. Carter Jr. said.
The North Belmont Red-Purple Reconstruction project will remove a curvature in the tracks between the Belmont and Addison stations, allowing CTA to improve its service throughout the transit system, officials said.
Beginning February 2022, CTA will demolish, rebuild and realign the 100-year-old Red and Purple Line tracks between the Belmont station and West Cornelia Avenue. The work is expected to continue through 2025.


What more is there to add?
Following Germany’s World War Two defeat in 1945 the victorious Allies were keen to gather up as much of their jet and rocket technology and expertise as they could. These wunderwaffe (“wonder-weapon”) aircraft and rocket designs would go on to heavily influence western and Soviet aviation and rocketry in the coming years of the Cold War.
Messerschmitt Me 163 Komet
The Messerschmitt Me 163 Komet rocket powered interceptor was a prime example. Designed to quickly intercept the never-ending Allied bomber formations overhead, around 370 Me 163 Komet interceptors were produced for the German Luftwaffe but nowhere near that number were ever operational at one time and with the numerous technical issues, fuel shortages and the dangerous nature of flying the aircraft, they were only operational from July 1944 to May 1945. This being said they were still a revolutionary concept.

Sarah Ruhl, the funny, sensitive somewhat absurdist playwright of our time, interpreting Anton Chekhov, the grandfather of it all– what a treat. In her introduction to the translation, she praises Chekhov’s ability to capture “laments with humor,” the ability to acknowledge one’s destiny while simultaneously embracing thoughtful laughter. She warns that one must avoid complaint when translating (or presumably producing) Chekhov, for it would be against the spirit of his writing, which she tried her best to preserve. I introduce all of this to say that in my opinion, Undermain’s crowning achievement of the evening is the actors’ ability to portray these laments with humor without these moments coming off as complaining. The moments are funny, but profound. They allow the audience to laugh, while challenging us to think.
Three Sisters is the story of Masha, Irina, and Olga, the three daughters of the respected commander of a Russian military outpost. The three sisters also have a brother, Andrei. While Andrei is settling into life in their current situation, the sisters, dream of independence, romantic relationships, and a triumphant return to Moscow. Early in the play, they are introduced to two new characters who will influence their lives dramatically. Vershinin is a new soldier who hopes to woo Irina, and Natasha, a local woman who wants a better life for herself.
The two standout performances of the night are Jenny Ledel as Irina and Ashlee Elizabeth Bashore as Natasha. From the moment the lights come up, Ledel commands the stage when she is on it. She depicts an Irina who is strong and unafraid to dream, even in a harsh and unforgiving environment. Bashore’s performance captures the change that Natasha undergoes throughout the play. In the beginning, Natasha is shy and scared, but after she and Andrei are married, she is boldly cold and calculating.
The small, arena-style stage is surrounded by the audience. Encompassing the audience is a birch forest sprinkled with chandeliers, which creates an intimate ambience. The stage itself is simply a light grey wood panel floor. The furniture changes slightly from scene to scene, but is enough to indicate a family living with the pretences of status and money. The most captivating part of the set design is the five chandeliers spaced around the stage. Each chandelier is covered with translucent white fabric, giving the set an eerie, Victorian vibe. When we first sit down, each of the chandeliers is at a different height, some almost at the floor. Once the play begins, they are slowly hoisted to the ceiling.
Throughout the play, the fourth wall is virtually dispensed with, with characters stomping off in all directions behind and around the audience members. These moments both enhance the familiarity between audience and cast and simultaneously disorient us.
Although Chekhov’s themes are often deeply tragic, his distance on this odd business of being a human always leaves room for at least some pained laughter. In trying to actually infuse very little of herself into the text, Ruhl delivers a fairly literal translation. And why not? What Ruhl treasures is all there already.

Very uncommon Kunisada
prints for a Tokaido series from different artists designed in
Related to this series
Ch. van Rappard-Boon writes: " In the second month of 1863 the
shogun Iemochi travelled from Edo to Kyoto to pay his respects
to the emperor. Afterwards two special Tokaido series were
published to commemorate this journey. ... One of the series is
titled Tokaido and has prints by twelfe artists and
twenty-one publishers. ... Both series contain more than the
usual number of stations (55) ..." (L71, page 290).
About "The Tokaido" I read in an older Japanese auction catalogue that
the series include 150 prints plus frontispiece, index page and
And than Mr. Luigi Capretti sent me an email in which he wrote
that he inherited 160 prints (plus) of the series bound to a
book designed by 17 different artists (although the index sheet
lists only 13 artists).
All of the prints in Mr. Capretti´s book have wonderful bright
and fresh colours and may be first state and so I pleased him to
take photos and to allow me to publish them on my site.
With the friendly permission of the owner the complete series is
presented to the public for the first time on this site.
The prints in Mr. Capretti´s collection all have full
margins but the book has not been separated for taking the
photos so not the complete print can be seen on the images. If
anybody needs closeup pictures from details Mr. Capretti will
send them on request.
In January 2007 Andreas Marks published the results of his
investigations on this series in Andon 81 (the semi-annual
publication of the
Society for Japanese Arts). He found out that
three different tables of content were existing for the series,
all providing totally different numbers. The first lists 155
prints, the second 162 and a third from a re-printed album in
1865 lists only 55 prints. 16 artists designed the total number
of the 162 prints pubilshed by 24 different publishers.
This series is from
two vievs remarkable.
First the artistic view: Kunisada here designed croud of peoples
in front of a landscape. No other similar desings of him are
known to me.
Second a political aspect: The censor laws strictly forbids to
show the relationship between the bakufu and the tenno.
The fact that so much artists and
publishers participated in the production of this series for
this special event indicates a political manifestation.
system of bakufu stands shortly before his colaps, the
society wanted a new organisation. In these times most of
Japanese people took oposition against the shogunate´s
gouverment which has been replaced by the Tenno-system in 1865.
Kunisada as the head of the Utagawa clan designed 18 of the
series prints and all other known artists belongs to the clan
(Hiroshige II, Yoshimune, Chikamaro, Yoshimori, Kunitsuna,
Yoshitora, ????). The majority of the Utagawa clan seems to have
been for the Tenno gouverment.
No other to me known prints from the late Edo period shows a so clear
political intention like these.

Losing teeth is a natural part of development for German Shepherd puppies, but it can also happen later in adulthood for several reasons. In this comprehensive article, we will explore the teething process in German Shepherds, signs of teething, timeline, caring for a puppy losing teeth, causes of tooth loss in adults, potential problems it can lead to, and when to seek veterinary dental care.
Deciduous Teeth in German Shepherd Puppies
German Shepherd puppies are born toothless. At around 3-4 weeks of age, their first set of milk teeth or deciduous teeth will start to erupt through the gums. These are small, sharp little teeth that enable the puppy to start eating solid food and exploring their world with their mouth.
By 6-8 weeks old, the pup will have a full set of 28 deciduous or baby teeth comprised of:
- 12 Incisors – The small front teeth used for biting and gnawing. German Shepherds have 6 on top and 6 on bottom.
- 4 Canines – These are the fangs, located next to the incisors. Two on top and two on bottom. They are slightly larger than the incisors.
- 12 Premolars – Located along the sides of the jaw behind the canine teeth. Six premolars are on the top on each side and 6 on the bottom.
These deciduous premolars have multiple cusps for chewing food, unlike the single-cusped adult premolars.
So in total, German Shepherd puppies have 28 temporary puppy teeth by around 2 months of age – 12 incisors, 4 canines, and 12 premolars. While these teeth are small, they are sharp and enable the puppy to bite, tear, and chew their food.
Why Puppies Have Milk Teeth
Puppies have a set of deciduous or milk teeth prior to their permanent adult teeth for several reasons:
- They erupt earlier, allowing the puppy to start eating solid foods between 3-8 weeks of age.
- They are smaller in size, fitting the puppy’s tiny mouth and jaws.
- Their short roots allow them to be more easily pushed out by erupting permanent teeth later on.
- It allows adult teeth to ultimately erupt in proper alignment for optimal bite function.
So in essence, milk teeth serve as “place holders” that allow the puppy to feed, explore their surroundings, and teethe properly until they are old enough for their larger 42 permanent teeth to come in.
When Do German Shepherds Start Losing Their Deciduous Teeth?
The first deciduous teeth start becoming loose and falling out around 4-6 months of age in German Shepherd puppies. This allows the larger, stronger permanent teeth to erupt into place.
During this time, you may find small puppy teeth on the floor as your German Shepherd loses them naturally while playing and chewing on toys. The roots of the deciduous teeth begin to reabsorb or dissolve away as the permanent replacements develop underneath the gums.
Why German Shepherds Lose Their Milk Teeth
German Shepherds lose their sharp little puppy teeth for several important reasons:
- The permanent teeth developing underneath start applying pressure to the roots, causing the deciduous teeth to loosen and fall out.
- The larger size of the incoming permanent teeth push the milk teeth out to make room in the jaws and allow proper alignment.
- The puppy teeth have short, fragile roots in the tooth sockets which makes them easier to push out.
- Retaining the smaller milk teeth long-term would lead to malocclusion and dental crowding issues.
So essentially, losing the deciduous teeth enables the adult teeth to come into place in a functional biting alignment. This transition is a necessary and normal part of a puppy’s oral development.
Timeline of Puppy Teeth Loss and Adult Teeth Eruption
The process of puppy teeth falling out and being replaced by permanent adult teeth typically spans from 4-7 months of age in German Shepherds. However, it’s a gradual process with different teeth erupting at different times.
Here is an overview of the timeline:
- The incisor (front) puppy teeth become loose and fall out as the adult incisors begin pushing through the gums.
- The canine teeth (fangs) and some of the premolars start coming in, replacing the milk teeth.
- This is typically the most intense teething period as the sharper adult canines erupt. Significant discomfort and increased chewing behaviors are observed.
- At around 5 months old, all or nearly all of the puppy teeth have fallen out.
- Some swelling and soreness may still be present as the last of the new teeth finish erupting through the gums.
- All adult teeth have typically come in by 6-7 months old.
- Some mild chewing may continue as gums toughen around the new teeth.
How Many Permanent Teeth Do German Shepherds Have?
Whereas puppies have 28 deciduous teeth, adult German Shepherds have 42 permanent teeth comprised of:
- 16 incisors – 6 upper and 6 lower incisors on each jaw.
- 4 canines – The upper and lower fangs (canines).
- 16 premolars – 4 upper and 4 lower premolars on both sides of the jaws.
- 6 molars – 2 upper molars and 4 lower molars used for chewing and grinding food.
So in total, the full adult dentition of a German Shepherd contains 42 teeth – 16 incisors, 4 canines, 16 premolars, and 6 molars. This is 14 more teeth than the temporary puppy set.
Signs Your German Shepherd Puppy is Teething
Puppies don’t verbalize it, but teething can be uncomfortable. Here are some signs your German Shepherd is losing puppy teeth:
- Loose teeth – Gently wiggle teeth to check for looseness as their roots start dissolving. You may find shed teeth lying around.
- Swollen, inflamed gums – The gums around erupting teeth often look puffy, red, and irritated.
- Increased chewing – Puppies tend to chew more on toys, furniture, and body parts like hands and ankles during teething. The pressure provides relief for sore gums.
- Drooling – Excessive drooling is common due to teething irritation and inflammation.
- Eating issues – Sore, sensitive teeth may temporarily make eating hard kibble difficult. Your puppy may avoid eating or prefer soft foods.
- Cranky behavior – Teething discomfort often makes puppies more whiny, irritable, and prone to behavior changes.
Warning Signs to Watch For
While the above symptoms are normal during the teething process, contact your veterinarian promptly if you notice:
- Loss of appetite beyond 24 hours
- Repeated vomiting or diarrhea
- Lethargy or depression
- Swelling of the face, mouth, or jaw
- Discharge from the eyes or nose
- Bleeding from the gums that doesn’t subside after 10-15 minutes
These can indicate an underlying health problem requiring medical attention, rather than just normal teething effects. Puppies can become dehydrated if eating and drinking habits change due to dental discomfort.
Caring for Your German Shepherd Puppy While Teething
The teething phase brings discomfort for your German Shepherd puppy. Here are some tips for making them more comfortable:
- Provide abundance of safe chew toys to satisfy the increased urge to chew and relieve pressure on gums. Chilled rubber teething toys can provide soothing relief.
- Try offering frozen washcloths for the puppy to chew on. The cold temperature helps numb sore gums.
- Soften dry kibble with warm water or canned food to make eating less painful.
- Gently rub the gums and new teeth with a puppy toothbrush and toothpaste to clean them and massage inflamed gums. Never use human toothpaste which can make dogs ill.
- Give ice cubes for teething puppies to lick on. The cold feels good on irritated gums. Monitor to prevent large chunks being crunched and swallowed.
- Discuss using safe oral pain relievers with your veterinarian if your puppy seems very uncomfortable.
With patience and extra TLC during this developmental phase, soon your German Shepherd will have a full set of healthy adult teeth and be back to chewing, playing, and eating normally. Avoid forcibly pulling out loose puppy teeth yourself, as this can damage the emerging permanent teeth. Let the teeth come out on their own.
Long-Term Care of Your German Shepherd’s Teeth
While teething causes short-term discomfort for puppies, establishing good lifelong dental care habits early on is crucial. Daily tooth brushing, dental chews, regular professional cleanings under anesthesia, and addressing any signs of dental disease quickly are essential to ensuring your German Shepherd keeps their teeth into old age.
Why Do Adult German Shepherds Lose Permanent Teeth?
While it’s normal for puppies to lose their milk teeth as adult teeth erupt, it’s not typical or desirable for adult German Shepherds to lose their permanent teeth. However, German Shepherds can start losing their adult teeth later in life for several reasons:
By far the most common cause of tooth loss in mature dogs is due to periodontal disease. Periodontal disease is a progressive bacterial infection of the tissues surrounding and supporting the teeth, including the gums, periodontal ligaments, and jaw bone.
In the early stage called gingivitis, plaque and tartar buildup on the teeth causes gum inflammation. As gingivitis worsens and spreads deeper below the gumline, it destroys the tissues holding teeth in their sockets. This later stage is termed periodontitis.
Over time, periodontitis causes painful loosening of the teeth, receding gums, bone loss around tooth roots, and eventually tooth loss as the infection compromises the integrity of the socket and supporting bone.
Periodontal disease typically develops slowly, starting as early as age 2-3 in dogs. Without proper dental care, plaque buildup causes escalating gum infection, dysfunction, and tooth loss in pets.
Tooth Injuries and Trauma
Injuries to the teeth and mouth can also cause permanent tooth loss in adult German Shepherds. Fractures from bites or blunt trauma often damage the tooth’s pulp tissue. Once pulp necrosis sets in, the tooth must be treated or extracted.
Working German Shepherds that participate in police work, schutzhund, or protection sports have higher risks of knocking teeth out or causing dental fractures while apprehending suspects. Take care to avoid damage during vigorous play or training.
Abnormal Tooth Wear
Excessive abrasion slowly wears down enamel over time, exposing the sensitive dentin and pulp inside the tooth. The most commonly affected teeth are the canines and carnassial molars.
Pets that aggressively chew hard objects like rocks, cages, or crate bars are prone to abnormal tooth wear. Damaged, worn teeth become extremely painful and prone to infection, eventually necessitating extraction.
Less Common Causes
Other less frequent causes of adult tooth loss include:
- Tooth root abscesses
- Oral cysts and tumors impacting tooth roots
- Developmental or congenital tooth abnormalities
- Severe gingivitis eroding gum and bone
- Jaw fractures
Regardless of the cause, take your German Shepherd to the vet promptly at the first sign of damaged, loose or missing teeth. Early intervention is key to saving salvageable teeth and preventing worsening problems.
Potential Problems Tooth Loss Causes for German Shepherds
Missing teeth can impact your German Shepherd’s quality of life in several ways:
Dogs are stoic about showing pain, but diseased teeth and receding inflamed gums are often very painful, sometimes severely. This chronic pain will take a toll over time.
Chewing and Eating Difficulties
Missing molars or canines make chewing and eating hard kibble more difficult. Dogs may drop food from their mouth while attempting to chew. Swallowing larger pieces also increases choking risks.
Damage to Opposing Teeth
When a tooth is lost without prompt extraction, the opposing tooth can over-erupt into the vacant space. This throws off the bite alignment and causes abnormal wear and dental issues in the remaining teeth.
Oral Bone Loss
Periodontal disease chews away at the tooth sockets and jaw bone as infection progresses. Bone loss weakens the foundation for teeth and cannot be reversed once damaged extensively.
Increased Plaque and Tartar Buildup
Rotated, crooked, or overlapping teeth that don’t align properly allow more plaque accumulation in the crevices. This accelerates dental disease.
Changes to Facial Structure
Extensive tooth loss causes mild to moderate changes to the shape and structure of the head and face over time as bone remodels to stabilize the jaw after extractions.
With prompt veterinary attention and ongoing dental care, most dogs can retain functional dentition throughout life and avoid these devastating consequences. Don’t wait until advanced dental disease sets in to seek treatment.
Getting Veterinary Dental Care for Your German Shepherd
Take your German Shepherd to the veterinarian promptly if you notice any of these signs:
- Chipped, cracked, or discolored teeth
- Teeth abnormally worn down
- Swollen or bleeding gums
- Loose or missing teeth
- Bad breath, pus, or red gums
- Difficulty eating, dropping food from mouth
- Loss of multiple teeth
- Whining or irritability around the mouth
- Reluctance to have mouth touched or teeth brushed
Your vet will perform a complete oral exam and full-mouth dental x-rays as needed to assess the extent of disease and determine a treatment plan which may include:
- Professional dental cleaning above and below the gumlines
- Oral surgery to extract damaged non-salvageable teeth
- Root canals or crowns to save compromised but treatable teeth
- Prescribed antibiotics and pain medication
- Custom at-home dental care regimen
With diligent daily home dental care and regular professional cleanings, you can help your German Shepherd keep their teeth for a lifetime. Don’t wait for them to show obvious outward signs, as internal dental disease is often well-advanced by the time symptoms arise.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: At what age do German Shepherd puppies start losing their baby teeth?
A: German Shepherd puppies typically start losing their milk teeth and getting permanent teeth around 4-6 months of age. The new adult teeth erupt under the gums, pushing the puppy teeth out as they grow.
Q: How long does teething last in German Shepherd puppies?
A: The overall teething process lasts from about 4 months to 7 months old. The most intense stage is 16-24 weeks as the puppy teeth fall out and larger adult teeth come in. Some milder discomfort may continue up to 7 months.
Q: Should I help pull out my German Shepherd puppy’s loose teeth?
A: No, you should allow puppy teeth to come out on their own once naturally loosened by erupting permanent teeth. Forcibly extracting teeth can damage the gums and developing adult teeth underneath. Only a vet should extract teeth if necessary.
Q: My German Shepherd puppy’s gums are bleeding – is this normal with teething?
A: It’s common for puppy gums to bleed slightly as teeth push through during teething. Gum inflammation and irritation can lead to minor bleeding. However significant or prolonged bleeding warrants a veterinary visit to identify potential issues.
Q: Why might an adult German Shepherd need teeth extracted?
A: The most common reason adult German Shepherds require tooth extraction is due to periodontal disease destroying the supporting structures of the teeth. Tooth injuries, abnormal wear, and other issues can also necessitate pulling badly damaged permanent teeth.

The Arkansas state Senate voted Tuesday to override the Democratic governor's veto of a bill that would outlaw most abortions if the fetus is older than 12 weeks and if its heartbeat can be heard.
The Republican-led chamber voted 20-14 to override the veto by Arkansas Gov. Mike Beebe. The Arkansas state House of Representatives is expected to hold a vote on overriding the bill, possibly Wednesday.
Pro-choice advocates have called the Arkansas abortion bill the "most extreme" in the nation.
"We hope that the House has the courage and principle to vote down this shameful measure, by which politicians seek to usurp private medical decisions that a woman needs to make with her family and her doctor," said Talcott Camp, deputy director of the American Civil Liberties Union's Reproductive Freedom Project.
The 12-week abortion bill, called the Arkansas Human Heartbeat Protection Act, would prohibit abortions if a fetal heartbeat is heard using an abdominal ultrasound. It would not apply in cases of rape, incest or endangerment of the mother's life, or when the fetus has a "highly lethal" disorder.
The leading proponents of Arkansas' 12-week abortion bill said that such a law is needed to bring fresh legal clarity to the abortion issue.
"Judges don't typically rule unless a law is passed first," said state Rep. Ann Clemmer. "We believe that it is time for the court to look at it."
In his veto letter, Mr. Beebe cited his oath to "preserve, protect and defend" state and federal constitutions.
"Because it would impose a ban on a woman's right to choose an elective, nontherapeutic abortion well before viability, Senate Bill 134 blatantly contradicts the United States Constitution, as interpreted by the Supreme Court," he said.
State Sen. Jason Rapert disagreed.
"That's not valid," he said. "The U.S. Constitution says nothing whatsoever about abortion. This is governed by case law."
The Center for Reproductive Rights said the 12-week abortion bill was "the most extreme abortion ban in the country," and promised to challenge it in court if enacted.
Last week, the Arkansas General Assembly overrode Mr. Beebe's veto of another abortion bill called the Pain-Capable Unborn Child Protection Act.
That law, which is now in effect, disallows most abortions after the 20th week of gestation, based on evidence that fetuses are capable of feeling pain by that age and should not suffer abortion. Opponents dispute such evidence of "pain."
The "pain-capable" law permits exceptions similar to those in the "heartbeat" bill.

Technology never bothered me when I used to ride a Harley Davidson. It was only when I softened and bought a new 1100cc Kawasaki, that I became impressed by gimmickry such as a fuel gauge. Useful when it works, but a pain in the ass when it doesn’t. The dial on my shiny scooter told me my gas tank was half full, as I spluttered to an ungracious halt on a country road, miles from anywhere.
Cursing, I dismounted and checked the contents of the gas tank. Empty! Night was falling and, thanks to modern technology, I was stranded in the sort of place where another human might pass through every other leap year. I cursed, considered my position and cursed again. Then I pushed my stricken steed into the nearest ditch and left it in the company of my crash helmet. A long, lonely trek to civilization seemed inevitable.
I had been walking by moonlight for over two hours and did not appear to be any closer to anything other than despair. I was contemplating halting for a rest and probably expiring, when I heard the hum of a vehicle in the distance. The sound grew louder and I turned to see the yellow beam of approaching headlights. I stepped into the center of the road, frantically waving. Something rounded a curve at great speed and hurtled towards me. There was a screech of brakes as I jumped out of the way and fell backwards into a clump of bushes.
While I struggled back to my feet, the driver’s window of the sleek red sports car was lowered and I was looking at the kind of woman who could have stepped out of a hard rock video.
“Are you okay?” she asked anxiously.
“I’m okay,” I confirmed, feeling somewhat embarrassed.
“Lonely place to take a walk,” she continued, obviously amused by my attempts to appear unruffled.
“Yeah,” before proceeding to explain my predicament.
She listened sympathetically, then told me to get in.
I was fumbling with my seat belt when she pressed heavily on the accelerator pedal and slipped the Porsche into gear. The sports car rocketed forward, viciously jolting me in the process. By the time I was safely harnessed, the speedometer needle was hovering close to eighty. On a road like this, forty would seem precariously fast. I prayed to whatever might listen and turned my eyes to admire the maniac behind the wheel.
Her face was set in concentration, eyes glued to the road ahead. A mane of sleek blonde hair fell about her shoulders. She was generously proportioned, tight white tee shirt clinging to her ripe and unfettered breasts. Her nipples pushed against their prison like tiny molehills. She glanced sideways and I looked straight ahead.
Lewd thoughts left my mind when I saw the sharp right hand bend we were speeding towards.
“Slow fucking down!” I mumbled, sinking deeper into the seat.
She gripped the wheel tightly and slid into the curve at seventy. The left side of the car mounted a high grass margin. I was mumbling incoherently to myself when, against my wildest expectations, she regained control and coolly shifted gear to power the Porsche through.
Five minutes later, we screeched to a halt in the square of a small town.
“Well, the gas station is closed,” she observed. “Where do you suggest from here?”
“I need a drink!” I gasped.
I just hoped my stomach could hold it.
We got out of the car and hastened to the bar across the street.
A couple of drinks later, I was over the worst of my experience and was getting to know my speed-crazed savior.
Her name was Judy and she claimed she was a lawyer. The way she drove, she would probably end up needing a lawyer.
“What do you do?” she asked.
“I keep my options open,” I replied.
“I knew a guy like you once,” Judy smiled. “He’s in jail now.”
“You didn’t do a good defense job then?”
“I wasn’t a qualified lawyer then.”
“What did he do?” I asked.
“He was a bad boy on a motorbike,” she replied.
By the time the bar closed, Judy was friendly enough to convince me that another kind of ride might await me. She produced the car keys and almost had the driver’s door unlocked when I snatched them from her.
“You’re not driving anywhere tonight,” I told her firmly.
“Well a Porsche isn’t the best accommodation in the world,” she retorted. “But there’s nothing like a motel in this one horse town.”
I thought for a moment, then pointed to the woods just down the road.
“What about there?” I suggested. “We won’t catch cold on a mild night like this.”
After hurried consideration, she agreed and procured a heavy blanket from inside the car.
We found a dry patch of ground out of the shadow of the trees and I began to spread the blanket out.
“Nature calls,” Judy said, hurrying towards the nearby stream.
I caught an exciting silhouette through the thin fabric of her long white skirt as she walked away from me. She stopped at the edge of the stream and hiked her skirt high. Oblivious to my intense gaze, she slid her panties down and squatted.
Watching her piss into the stream sent fresh tremors of excitement through my cock. I stripped in a matter of seconds and lay back on the soft blanket. When she had finished, she stood up, turned around and walked towards me leaving her panties by the stream. A few feet away she halted long enough to remove her tee shirt and give me the thrill of seeing her succulent bare breasts in the moonlight. My erection pointed to the night sky like a throbbing flagpole.

In these days of inclusivity, equality, and the breaking down of barriers, there are those (both writers and readers) who would abolish the boundary between literary and genre fiction. Some now say that genre writers are striving for the same things as literary writers; they just do it in a different, more accessible, reader-friendly kind of way. That is to say, literary writers are just a bunch of stuck-up snobs who look down on hard-working genre writers for no good reason. If this is true, then either everything is literature, or everything is genre fiction. The argument has successfully removed the time-honoured distinction.
In this age of inclusivity we must not lose sight of the difference between literature and genre fiction. (Image: public domain.)
This is not constructive. Anyone who reads both literature and genre fiction must certainly notice the difference between the two. First, there is the question of degree. Literary writers spend far more time polishing their prose than a genre writer. They have to. Standards are so much higher in the literary world. Genre writers and readers who disagree have not spent enough time reading literature. Furthermore, a work’s “content” has to be more sophisticated, more deeply emotional and profoundly philosophical, to qualify as literature. Genre writing is about amusement. It is about story. Literature often has no plot whatsoever being only a superbly crafted and perceptive “slice of life.”
We must be careful not to confuse general or mainstream fiction with literary fiction. Mainstream fiction is writing which does not fit into a category, yet falls short of literature’s lofty standards of style and content. It lacks the outstanding quality of writing and does not have the striking degree of freshness and originality we associate with literature. We might think of mainstream fiction as “run of the mill” fiction.
Finally, it is easy to acquire the bad habit of talking about literature itself as a genre. When you hear someone say that literature should not too closely resemble writing in other genres you are hearing this error. Literature is not a genre in the way that word is now used (category), for the simple reason that it covers far too much ground to be pigeonholed. Categories are by definition narrow and well-defined.
The current preoccupation with ideas like inclusivity, equality, and the removal of barriers is really another way of declaring that we no longer have (or want) any standards. Saying we have no standards sounds bad, so some of us have come up with euphemisms like “inclusivity” to mask our intentions and make them more acceptable or even desirable. The vocabulary is a cunning smokescreen. Instead of trying to be inclusive, we should be asking ourselves why we are so determined to reduce everything to the lowest common denominator. Luckily, there will always be people who can tell the different between ordinary and exceptional. No matter how we choose to label or mislabel it, literature will survive.
Does this mean genre fiction is no good? Not at all. Most people prefer an engrossing or exciting story to a superbly crafted, profound piece of literature. Many people enjoy both. The best genre-fiction writers deliver the goods by entertaining their readers in the way they want to be entertained.

"Pizza restaurants in the U.S. make $40 billion a year," says Scott Cooper, CEO and Creative Director of World Patent Marketing. "The industry has risen slowly over the past five years...
New York, NY (PRWEB) May 23, 2016
World Patent Marketing, a vertically integrated manufacturer and engineer of patented products, announces Excellent Pizza Recipe, a food invention that brings back an old but very delicious pizza recipe that has been lost for more than a decade.
"Pizza restaurants in the U.S. make $40 billion a year," says Scott Cooper, CEO and Creative Director of World Patent Marketing. "The industry has risen slowly over the past five years. The key to their survival is being able to adapt their menus and investing in advanced technology. I project a boost in consumer demand over the next five years."
“Pizza is and will always be the ultimate comfort food for many people,” says Jerry Shapiro, Director of Manufacturing and World Patent Marketing Inventions. “It is quick to buy or make, easy to eat with one hand, and has cheese and meat built on top of a crunchy bread. It embodies both homely and fast food which is why it is a staple in the American home. Excellent Pizza Recipe is a food invention that attempts to revive an age-old secret recipe that promises to deliver maximum flavor and is unlike any pizza recipe currently being sold.”
Excellent Pizza Recipe is a unique blend of carefully selected ingredients to provide a delicious pizza recipe that is sure to be a hit. This food invention is an old Italian recipe which has been passed down for more than 50 years and makes use of a special flour and yeast, oil, salt, water, a special sauce and a unique blend of four special cheeses. The recipe and training involved to learn the recipe would surely improve the quality and sales of any pizza shop or food place that sells pizza.

This is a nationalization of PCT/SE03/00488 filed Mar. 25, 2003 and published in English.
1. Field of the Invention
The present invention relates to a directional alignment device or direction setting device. The device includes a frame having a rotatably mounted shaft which supports a first belt pulley whose rotational position defines a direction to be set, a rotary motor on the frame that supports a second belt pulley, and an endless belt that extends around the first and second belt pulleys.
2. Description of the Prior Art
There is a need to be able to bring, for instance, optical instruments into a precise position of alignment, such as to bring a laser beam into a precise position of alignment with a given subject. For example, two such laser units that have well known relative positions are able to provide accurate marking of a position with the aid of their mutually intersecting laser beams.
A first requirement is that the device is able to effect this alignment quickly. A second requirement is that the alignment can be achieved with great precision. A third requirement is that the device can be produced at low cost.
These requirements are not normally compatible with one another.
The concept of the invention is based on the use of a rotary stepping motor. Such motors are available commercially and have an angular stepping increment of about 1°. Rotary stepping motors that have finer resolutions are much more expensive. However, even if it were possible to obtain a rotary stepping motor of desired high resolution, say a resolution of 0.001°, with or without gearing, the time taken to rotate the stepping motor through one half of a revolution would be unacceptably long. However, it is possible in principle to improve the angular resolution of a rotary stepping motor, by coupling the motor to a gear or pulley transmission means. For example, the stepping motor may be fitted with a small belt pulley that is connected to a pulley which is ten times its size, by means of an endless belt, wherein the angular step or increment made by the larger pulley will be correspondingly smaller, e.g. in the order of 0.1° instead of 1°. However, as before mentioned the time taken to achieve the necessary higher angular resolutions is unacceptable.
Accordingly, the object of the invention is to provide a modified version of said device with which alignment or a positional setting can be effected in the correct direction with great precision and within a short space of time.
This object is achieved with the present invention.
The invention includes a frame having a rotatably mounted shaft which supports a first belt pulley whose rotational position defines a direction to be set, a rotary motor on the frame that supports a second belt pulley, and an endless belt that extends around the first and second belt pulleys. A deflecting device serves to deflect a first part of the belt while the motor is stationary at a set position of rotation, so as to change an effective length of the first part of the belt. A resilient tensioning device serves to change a length of a second part of the belt to compensate for the change in the effective length of the first part of the belt. This enables the first belt pulley to be turned through an angle dependent on the deflection of the first part of the belt by the deflecting device.
Further embodiments of the invention are made apparent in the accompanying dependent claims.
According to one preferred embodiment of the invention there is used an endless belt which extends around a small circular pulley connected to a stepping motor and around a larger rotatable pulley whose position of rotation defines the direction to be set.
It is preferred that the belt is essentially incapable of being stretched, that the pulleys are rigid, that the belt is very stiff in the direction of its thickness, and that the pulleys are at a fixed distance apart. In such situations it is, of course, necessary to provide a separate resilient or springy member that will deflect and tension the first part of the belt.
The belt is placed around the pulleys with a pre-determined amount of slack. This slack is taken up by deflection of the first part of the belt between the pulleys by means of resilient tensioning means, so as to keep the belt tensioned, i.e. so as to eliminate the slack. The, second part of the belt is deflected by means of a displacement body with associated drive means. The stepping motor lies fixed at an increment of rotation, so that the small pulley will lie fixed and so that the belt will be fixed relative to the small pulley. As the length of the second part of the belt increases in response to an increase in its the deflection, the larger belt pulley is forced to rotate to a corresponding degree. However, because the length of the first part of the belt will decrease, it is necessary to make compensation at said first belt part. This compensation is achieved by deforming the spring, so as reduce the extent of the deflection of the first belt part. As before mentioned, this will result in rotation of the larger belt pulley through a correspondingly small angle from a rough setting position or position of alignment set by the stepping motor.
In respect of the second part of the belt, the maximum deflection is conveniently chosen so as to correspond to one increment of angular rotation established by one step of the stepping motor. For example, deflection of the second part of the belt can be achieved with the aid of an eccentric that can rotate through one half of a revolution, for instance by means of a rotatable stepping motor, which may be of the same design as the stepping motor connected to the small belt pulley. The eccentric may carry a peripheral ring in the form of a ball bearing, so that rotation of the eccentric will not result in length displacement of said belt part.
For example, it is possible to achieve with practical embodiments of the invention that include a primary stepping motor which provides a stepping length or increment of 1° a stepping length of 0.1° in respect of the larger belt pulley via said transmission, wherewith deflection of the first belt part by means of the eccentric results in a directional precision of e.g. 0.001° in respect of said larger pulley. It will be seen that the fine adjustment afforded by the eccentric in the illustrated case extends the time taken to achieve this directional setting via the belt and the belt pulleys by 10% (about 1:10)
It is also conceivable, however, to use a belt that can be stretched elastically in its length direction, or a belt that can be compressed elastically in its thickness direction against the belt pulleys, or to allow the frame of the device to yield elastically so as to enable the distance between the pulley shafts to be varied in accordance with belt tension, or for the pulleys to be deformable elastically in a radial direction. Such elastic deformation options could provide a function corresponding to the function afforded by said resilient or springy deflecting element in respect of the first part of the belt. These options can therefore be considered as technical equivalents to a separate spring-biased deflecting element with regard to the first part of the belt when the belt cannot be stretched and the device is rigid in other respects.
Naturally, technically equivalent devices such as chains, chain pulleys, lines and line pulleys can also be used in the place of belts and belt pulleys. It will be understood, however, that reference to belts and belt pulleys shall include such alternatives within the scope of the present invention.
As will be understood, it is possible to use other types of motor than a stepping motor, such as DC-rotary motors for instance, with or without gears. In this regard it is possible, e.g., to create a characteristic for the type of motor concerned so that a relationship can be established between an operating parameter, for instance activation time, and angle of rotation, thereby enabling a direction to be set roughly and then finely via said operating time parameter in accordance with the principles of the invention. However, an angle sensor is normally connected to the direction indicating axis of the device. Such angle sensors are available commercially relatively cheaply and have a high resolution, therewith enabling the angle sensor to be used to show that the rough adjustment has been carried out within pre-determined limit values. It is possible to collect an output signal from the sensor so that it can be used together with the desired direction to be set and therewith obtain the most precise rough alignment or directional setting of the device possible with respect to the motor and then the most precise fine setting or alignment of the device with respect to the properties of the motor concerned. A control computer for setting the device in a desired direction can receive a reference signal from the angle sensor. The control computer may, of course, include standard computing elements which function to send appropriate control signals to the motors on the basis of an inputted desired direction of said device.
It may be possible to exclude the angle sensor when using stepping motors, since hopefully there will be found a strict relationship between the number of drive pulses (and driving direction) for respective motors on the one hand and the set direction on the other hand. Naturally, the direction indicating element may carry a sensor that detects a target in a specific absolute direction or position relative to the position of the device so as enable the device and its angle sensor to be readily calibrated.
The invention will now be defined by way of example with reference to the accompanying drawings, in which
Further scope of applicability of the present invention will become apparent from the detailed description given hereinafter. However, it should be understood that the detailed description and specific examples, while indicating preferred embodiments of the invention, are given by way of illustration only, since various changes and modifications within the spirit and scope of the invention will become apparent to those skilled in the art from this detailed description.
The device comprises a frame plate 1 that carries a rotary stepping motor 71 whose shaft supports a first belt pulley 12. The plate 1 also carries a bearing housing 3 which houses two separate bearings 9 for a shaft 2 which, in turn, supports a larger second pulley 13 whose diameter can be ten times larger than the diameter of the first pulley 12. A belt 14 extends around the pulleys 12, 13. The length of the belt 14 is slightly greater than the shortest belt path around the pulleys 12, 13. A first part 141 of the belt is deflected in the plane of a tensioning roller 6 which is carried by a pivotal arm 5 pivotally mounted on a pivot shaft 16 at a distance from the roller 6 along the first part of the belt 141. A tensioning spring 18 tensions the arm 5 and thus biases the roller 6 against the belt part 141, therewith holding the endless belt 14 in tension. The second part 142 of the belt 14 runs in contact with a ball bearing 41 mounted on an eccentric 4 carried by a rotary stepping motor. The eccentric 4 is designed to provide varying deflection of the second part 142 of the belt. The belt 14 is a toothed belt and the pulleys 12, 13 are preferably toothed pulleys. The spacing between the pulleys is essentially constant. The shaft 2 of the pulley 13 carries an attachment 15 for accommodation of a laser unit whose direction shall be set. The shaft 2 is coupled to an angle sensor B which reads-off the angle of rotation of the shaft 2, i.e. the direction of the attachment 15.
The attachment 15 can be turned through a chosen angle, by driving the stepping motor 71 with a specific number of drive pulses so as to impart a corresponding angle of rotation to the pulley 12, this angle being translated by the transmission means 12, 13, 14 to the angle through which the pulley 13 and thus also the shaft 2 and the attachment 15 shall be rotated. When the stepping motor has a stepping length or increment of 1° and the transmission means has a transmission ratio of 1:1°, the pulley 13 can be caused to rotate through an angle of precisely 0.1°. The eccentric is designed to produce between its end positions a deflection of the belt part 142 that corresponds to rotation of the pulley 13 through an angle of 0.1°, i.e. through an angle corresponding to a pulley stepping increment as driven by the stepping motor 71. If the eccentric 4 is rotated by a further stepping motor 72 that also has a stepping increment of 1°, rotation of the eccentric through 180° will correspond to 180 increments. This means that each step of the motor 72 will correspond essentially to rotation of the belt pulley 13 through an angle of 0.1°: 180, i.e. the pulley 13 and therewith the attachment 15 will obtain on average a setting accuracy in excess of 1.001°.
When the stepping motor 71 can be driven in both directions, a maximum rotation of five full revolutions will be required of the motor 71 in order to achieve a rough directional setting. A fine directional adjustment with the aid of the eccentric 4 will then require one half of a revolution of the e-f stepping motor 72. The time taken to improve the setting precision of the stepping motor by a factor of 10 via the transmission means 12, 13, 14 need only be increased by 10 percent in order to achieve an increase in directional precision by a factor in excess of 100, i.e. a directional precision greater than 0.001°.
Deflection of the part 142 of the belt by means of the eccentric results in an increase in the length of said belt part. This increase is compensated for by decreasing the length of the part 141 of the belt, which is effected by displacement of the tensioning roller 6 while deforming the spring 18, therewith allowing the pulley to rotate. This ability of the pulley 13 to rotate while the pulley 12 is stationary and firmly holds the adjacent part of the belt, continues suitably to an angle of rotation corresponding to that produced by one rotational increment of the stepping motor 71.
The invention being thus described, it will be apparent that the same may be varied in many ways. Such variations are not to be regarded as a departure from the spirit and scope of the invention, and all such modifications as would be recognized by one skilled in the art are intended to be included within the scope of the following claims.

Dave Aldrich is getting used to the phone calls.
They come at all times of the day and night, sometimes from callers as far away as South America and Europe.
Having seen Aldrich and his reindeer on the Nat Geo Wild series "The Incredible Dr. Pol," viewers of the show want to talk to Aldrich about his herd at Rooftop Landing Reindeer Farm.
Historically open from November until Christmas Eve, Rooftop Landing, located at 2706 E. Stevenson Lake Road in Isabella County's Vernon Township, is a destination for children and parents, even during the off season.
Visitors from Indiana and Oklahoma stopped by recently, as to many families who travel to Michigan for vacation.
Some stop to see the reindeer after scheduled visits to veterinarian Jan Pol's Nottawa Township clinic, others just want to see the reindeer.
Not wanting to turn away visitors, Aldrich has accommodated guests during the off-season and is now offering visits by appointment.
Scheduling appointments during the off-season gives Aldrich and son Dan the opportunity to give visitors one-on-one time with the reindeer, including this year's calves, Candy and Belle.
During the Christmas season, Rooftop Landing is "utter chaos," Dan said.
Year-round visitors also include hundreds of Santas, Aldrich said, some who have never seen a reindeer and want photographs taken with the animals.
Even when visitors aren't at the farm, Aldrich and son are always busy, whether it's cleaning stalls, feeding or training the calves to be part of the next year's Christmas activities.
Belle, who is named after her grandmother, is 11 weeks old and the daughter of Angel, one of the farm's most popular reindeer.
Candy, the son of Cookie and six weeks old, and Belle are getting acclimated to children and adults, part of the training process.
"They're getting more comfortable being away from their mothers," Aldrich said. "We're trying to spend more time with them without their mothers around."
Calves are exposed to children right after birth, then when they are old enough, are halter trained.
"When they get a little older they'll bond with a human as opposed to their mother," Aldrich said.
For appointment information, call (517) 749-4866, or go to www.rooftopreindeer.com.
