Location. Dirty. Poor maid service. Old TV. No refrigerator in room. Over priced.
not very clean and kept up.
Location to Kings Island Dated facility in need of an update. Pool was not heated and cloudy. Messy public areas.
Pool open till midnight, shuttle to psrk Layout of room thought it would be nicer for value
No one at the counter when checked in and out had to wait for someone to come to counter. Carpet dirty and stained in room.
The playground for the children. It was not clean.
The breakfast was good... The location to Kings Island was great for the price. All the staff were very friendly, and they even went out of there way to help us! Great place to stay for the money! The only problem we had was the sports bar across the street was rather loud on Saturday night
The location The room. It felt ghetto. Stale smelling room.
Very close to tennis center. Staff was friendly Wallpaper peeling off walls. Needs some updates.
I've stayed at the Super 8 in Huntington, WV & Portsmouth, OH many times and found them to be reasonably price hotels similar to a Holiday Inn. The Super 8 in Mason was a Motel with a peeling tub, grimey floors. I was traveling solo with my daughter and did not feel safe on the lower level with a large front window. It was a snowy weekend, but the parking lot was not cleared at all.
Great location, right next to the tennis center. Free shuttle was nice. Good value. Only stocked with enough coffee for one person. Trouble with key card working. Glob of toothpaste in sink.

Even though I prefer the security and the large social safety net of the social democracy style European countries, I do appreciate the flexibility of the US style economic system. I hope that we can find a way to have the best of both worlds. I try to be optimistic about it, but it can be hard. We do have a history of being innovators, and I hope we can reclaim that somehow.
Another thing I love about the USA is that we have the most gorgeous national parks.
I also like that we have so many different types of places to live. You have New York City, you have Hollywood, you have the Rockies, the Plains, the South, you have rural, urban, prairies, deserts, mountains, oceans, lakes, fields, I could go on. So much variety.

i started this topic here because i dont know if upload (and submit) works corectly on other marketplaces, but at videohive I cannot submit my project.
ok i can upload but when i try tu submit project (upload button at the bottom of the page) im always see this page: http://img192.imageshack.us/img192/6785/ulprob.jpg
and my uploaded .zip (main file) has dissapear and when I try to upload it again… same problem: error page.
just want to let admins know about this problem, and to suggest another optional ways for upload: ftp (envato) or upload from remote server(our personal sites) (it will be much faster and safer).
for example you can let us to use ftp temporary and run cron job (or something like that) and delete temporary files once a day, or automaticaly delete temp files after succesfully submiting files and when project is placed in the queue…
edit: right now all my files has dissapeared… ok thumbnail and 590×300px images are small files, but zip and flv are much bigger…
I have the same problem sometimes.. I found the way to upload files, but it's still frustrating.
When uploading upload files from smallest to largest, and, if you get this page at the end, press "back" button.
Then upload all files except the largest one, it'll be there when you have select it from drop-down menu (for example preview file).
The most frustrating part is that I have to write description again.
I'm sorry about this issue, I was unaware that this was happening. I will pass this thread along to the developers to take a look at.
I was trying all night, about 20 times… for nothing.
I was trying all night, about 20 times… for nothing.
this is not problem, when you have AE project (without prerender)
I spend my nerv, 4 times sending 300mb file and nothing…
Guys, the developers are looking into this issue right now. As things stand so far, it seems all of the marketplaces are experiencing similar issues, so its not just a VH thing. I'm pretty certain it has nothing to do with with the order in which you upload your files (smallest to largest). I'll keep you guys posted with updates as we figure things out.
i have the same problem.i have also a very very very slow internet connection that disconnect me every 5 minutes so i tried to upload the "main files" that is 80mb about 10 times.at the 10nth i made it.and now i have the same problem with you guys.i hope the problem will be solved soon cause i have left the page as it is going back and frward .i don't want to upload it all again!!!
i just tried to make test: uploaded 4 empty files with different extensions flv zip and 2 jpg files. and my test item is in the queue. so, something is wrong with bigger files, my zip is 33.8mb, and flv 26.6mb, and there is no way to submit my project.
maybe that info mean something for developers…
Well, i believe that it has something with time uploading the file, because, when i send small projects, i don't have this problem, but anything above 20-30 megs makes the same problem. maybe the server erases query in that period, so it redirects us to "Page not found" instead of uploading the project
Just like BatVfx said upload small files first then the zip file then when is all done refresh the page first files will be lost, but zip file will be there then just upload other files again and select them from the drop menu. That works for me.

SLM Concert Spectrum Stereo Analog String Brass Piano Harpsichord Synthesizer
Published on Apr 26, 2015 keyboard resource
via this auction
"Condition: Works good. Bottom-left corner is cracked. Includes metal legs and crossbar. The legs may be missing parts to keep it from tilting. I'm not sure as I've never seen a picture of the complete package. See pictures.
The SLM (St. Louis Music) Concert Spectrum is an extremely rare, stereo analog string/brass/piano synthesizer from the mid-1970's.
Famously used by Richard Tandy of The Electric Light Orchestra. It is mention in this excerpt from a December 1978 Keyboard magazine article: 'Richard's collection of onstage instruments consists of a Hohner Clavinet, a Polymoog, a Yamaha CS-80 synthesizer, a Mellotron (called "Old Faithful" by Tandy), a seven-foot Yamaha grand piano, and the Wutlitzer. In addition to these, the band carries several back-up keyboards - an extra Mellotron, two spare Wurtlizer electric pianos, a Minimoog, and an SLM Concert Spectrum string synthesizer - in case any of the front-line instruments malfunction.'"

What I'm Trying Now: Aveeno Positively Ageless Resurfacing Scrub
Posted on June 5, 2012 By Tracey Brown Aveeno, Beauty, The Skinny, What I'm Trying Now, What I'm Trying Now—Skin Care
It's no secret that I'm completely and unabashedly addicted to skin exfoliators of all sorts—scrubs, chemicals, peels, tools and combinations of all the aforementioned. During my experimental days as an esthetician, with yours truly as the guinea pig of course, I tried all kinds of wild exfoliation combinations.
I truly wasn't satisfied unless I could "feel the burn." On more than one occasion, it was evident that I truly did feel the burn—my red and peeling skin was the proof in the pudding. However, despite all my good and bad days with exfoliants, there has always been one constant—exfoliants are the key to a glowing complexion.
I don't recommend my radical experiments with your own skin. There are gentle ways to get glowing results from your choice of exfoliant. Although I still love to peel, I do try to tame my love of the "burn."
I was recently sent Aveeno Positively Ageless Resurfacing Scrub to try. I'm all over anything with the words "postively ageless" and "scrub" in one sentence! So, check back with me in a couple weeks when I tell you my results from yet another road-tested skin care product.
Here's the 'rub' on Aveeno Positively Ageless Resurfacing Scrub $9.99:
Reveal your natural beauty and youthful energy every day. POSITIVELY AGELESS® Resurfacing Scrub helps to reveal younger looking, naturally beautiful skin. Formulated with ACTIVE NATURALS® Natural Shiitake Complex and fortified with vitamin C, this gentle exfoliating scrub with retexturizing micro-beads removes impurities while polishing away dead skin cells for smoother, more even tone.

Nexen.net has published their PHP Statistics for January 2007.
Among the popular revision versions, 4.3.10 and 4.4.4 came up tops at roughly 15% and 20.7% each. The version that runs HTNet; 5.2.0, is used by just over 2% of the sites surveyed.
Amazingly, the survey also shows that Malaysia has a PHP adoption rate of 26.51%. Our southern neighbours has a slightly more robust uptake at 26.69%. Strangely, according to the results, we're among the worst adopters of PHP in the region, especially if compared to PHP's whopping 91.94% market share in Brunei.
Glad to see that PHP's usage is growing. As they say, more users mean more tests. The end result will always be a better PHP for the world 🙂

What the heck is a 9-iron anyway?
One of the driving forces behind the development of our new SCOR4161 line of precision scoring clubs is the current state of the golf equipment industry, specifically irons. The way the manufacturers have played with lofts and shaft lengths over the years -- driven by the almost maniacal quest for added distance with every club in the bag – has made it practically impossible to assign any meaning at all to the numbers on the clubs.
One of our principals of the SCOR4161 concept is that every golfer should have consistent full-swing distance gapping throughout their set. What that means is that you should be able to make a reasonable full swing with each club and rely on a distance that is 12-15 yards longer than the next shorter club, and shorter than the next longer club. But for most golfers, when they get to the shorter end of the set, this gapping becomes inconsistent, because their wedges are not synchronized with their irons. Here's why:
In the early 1970s, lofts and lengths on irons were pretty much standard across the various brands. 9-irons, for example, were generally 44-45 degrees and about 35.25" long. Pitching wedges were 49-50 degrees and ¼" shorter. You "pitched" the ball with your "pitching wedge". And you could change from one brand of irons to another and get pretty much the same distance from your clubs.
But, as perimeter-weighted irons made their way into the marketplace, and the equipment companies found that "longer, farther, faster" would sell golf clubs, they began to take liberties with these "standards". Lofts slowly crept downward for any given number, moving 9-irons down to the low 40-degree range in many models. As "P-clubs" moved down to 47-48 degrees, the popular "gap" wedge of 52 degrees became popular to fill that gap between this and the sand wedge. What it really did was put a true "pitching wedge" back in the bag.
Fast forward to 2011, and the number on the bottom of the club has lost nearly all its meaning. We built a database of specifications on over 300 iron models as a foundation for our SCORFit process to calculate the right prescription for scoring clubs for any golfer. And the results were astounding.
In today's marketplace, you can purchase sets of irons with a 9-iron ranging from 38 degrees of loft to 44 degrees of loft. "Standard" lengths of that club can range from 35.5" all the way up to almost 37"! So, the fact that you hit this new 9-iron nearly as long as your old "8" . . . is because this new 9-iron IS your old 8!
So, if you hit all your new irons longer than the old ones, what do you hit from those shorter distances that used to be a "P-club" shot?
The point is that unless you know what your 9-iron IS, you have no way to put together the right set of wedges to optimize your short range performance. But once you do know what your "9-iron" is, then you can seek out the right arsenal of wedges that will complement the specifications and full-swing distance.
If you are serious about your golf, you should know your equipment. This off season, visit a qualified custom club shop and have them build you a chart of your entire set, from driver to highest-lofted wedge. Know the length, loft, lie angle, shaft frequency, swingweight, overall weight . . . everything. Then sit back and chart your comfortable full-swing yardages with each club. Be honest! And light bulbs will go off as to where you can improve your arsenal to improve your scoring.
My money is on the fact that it's the short end of the set.

dartboss04 says:
who cares what the numbers are as long as you know the lofts of your specific set and wedges...it's arbitrary...as long as i know i hit whatever club 140 yards...i don't care if there's a 6 or a 9 on it as long as it gets me there...
i think a lot of it is ego...
Banker85 says:
my 9iron is 43* I think i have a decent setup between my gaps. 47*PW 52/56/60
I would like to get a set of 4 SCOR clubs with 47*/51/55/59
Hook me up Terry!
For me how far i hit it doesnt come into play. I am not long anyways so if i know my distances for my scoring clubs especially the game gets a whole lot more fun exciting. Nothing like sitting 90 yards out with a solid SW in my hand ready to go flag hunting!
larrynjr says:
Along with working on my club path to be more in to out, I have also started leaning my shaft forward at address, not only has this helped me in striking the ball first, the decreased loft is adding at least another club distance to each of my clubs. I had my Mizuno MP-32's checked and they are at factory spec, making my 9i, 43*. I was practicing behind my house the other day with my new address setup, I was getting close to 140 yds. from my 9i, which used to be my 125 yd. club. On Sunday, still not used to the distance, I put 2 shots over the green using my "usual" club for the distance. I agree with dartboss, the numbers don't mean that much as long as you know the distance you are getting for each club and have consistant gap distances for all your clubs. I went to a club fitter recently and discovered via his Trackman monitor that I had 3 clubs that I was hitting close to the same distance on. It's easy to fool yourself on your distances on the range and course but the Trackman don't lie!
mmontisano says:
just get a set of Scratch irons with just the lofts on them instead of the traditional P-3 like Ryan Moore did. that will take care of the ego that gets involved with club selection.
sv677 says:
Currently two companies have wedges with lofts of 42* & 43*. How long will it be before wedge lofts are in the 30s and you will be carrying 6 or 7 "wedges". Say all you want about the number on the club not meaning anything, this is ridiculous. I am over 60 years old and I am 3 or more clubs longer than I was 25 years ago. I doubt it.
Tim Horan says:
I am going to go slightly off piste here...A little while ago Terry posted a blog about graphite shafts in his blades to save shockwaves in his hands. I built a set of blades with x stiff graphite shafts recently and then had to build a set of wedges to compliment them. What I found was that although the lofts are identical with my other set I was getting 5-10yrd extra carry 7i - 60 deg lob.
I was told a few years ago that distance = 85% loft and 15% shaft length. With the shafts adjusted only to maintain D1 (up to 9i) and progressive D1.5-D3 through the wedges there is definitely another factor at work. Anyone? Could it be purely the quality of strike? The point here is the shaft is the engine of any club. Cast or forged will have little difference on performance.
Matt F says:
@badcaddy - at $1200.00 for a set of irons, I'll pass.
knh555 says:
I play a set of irons with traditional lofts and a 9i at 45*. I recently strengthened the pitching wedge to 49* and love these irons chipping and pitching, an often overlooked trait when choosing irons. On the one hand, I suppose my ego theoretically takes a hit for *only* hitting my 8i 135-140. On the other hand, I can manage my long irons just fine and still bag a 2i, depending if I feel like playing my hybrid that day. Of course, at 20*, it's pretty much like today's 3i.
David Fox8 says:
just emphasizes the importance of researching the specs before you buy and judging the feel of the clubs -- not going by I hit this 9i 135 or that one 155. I have a set of TM burner irons (very strong lofts). My 9i is 40* and spacing is 5* for each club from 8i - Aw. I like the way they hit but most importantly know how far I hit each one.

Karsten Solheim was the first club maker to change the lofts on his irons . He delofted all of his cavity back clubs by 3 degrees per club. People started to buy his "ugly" clubs because they thought they gained 10 yards per club when they were actually playing a 7 iron that was actually a 6 iron.Playing games with your clubs was common place when the pro's were hitting forged clubs. I watched Gay Brewer grind off the numbers on his Wilson Staffs,deloft each one 3 degrees and use a metal sketching pen to put his own identification on them.

|Multiple connections to database repository
|Tue, 24 Jun 2008 18:08:37 GMT
Based on an old thread (May 2006), I found that you cannot have 2 different applications accessing the same database repository and expect them to see each changes made by each other. What if only 1 application was writing to the repository? Example: 1 application that is reading and writing to the repository. 5 applications that on demand will make their own connection to the repository in order to export the data, and then logout. Is the database always kept up to date (which I think would make this possible) or does jackrabbit keep data in memory for a while before storing it in the database? Thanks, Jared

The present invention pertains to a snowplow equipment to be mounted to a road vehicle and principally used for the winter maintenance of highways; more particularly, the invention is concerned with the construction and design of an all composite front plow, side wing and thrust frame, forming part of the snowplow equipment.
The design and manufacturing of highway snowplow equipment have not gone through many modifications or improvements since their commercial production. Even with a consistent weight problem, snowplow equipment designs have always called for steel materials to meet strength and rigidity requirements. In some cases, in order to reduce weight, steel snow plows have been provided with openings or their lower blades have been made of plastics material.
Up to now, the conventional snowplow equipment used on highways has faced operational problems and design defects affecting fuel consumption, handling, power consumption and chassis dynamics. For example, a typical snowplow equipment presently used by the Quebec Ministry of Transportation has the following weight problems: it represents one extra metric ton on the total weight of the vehicle and one and a half extra metric tons on the front axle of the vehicle. Since snowplows operate under a variety of hazardous conditions, such as wet and icy roads, the extra weight on the front axle (with the plow up)generates serious handling and driving conditions and, even more when the salt-sand spreader used with the road vehicle is almost empty.
Therefore, the multi-purpose snow removal vehicle operating on a highway suffer problems of overload on front axles and are subjected to high levels of constraints so that important modifications must be brought to the front chassis, to the front axle and to the tires.
The excessive weight and high rigidity of snowplow equipments, made of steel, have therefore resulted in requiring reinforcement and over-dimensioning of the front chassis, of the front axle and of the tires. These modifications are partly due to the energy which is transmitted by the snowplow equipment. The only mechanism which is presently available to reduce the impact energy when the wear blade of the snowplow contacts a severe obstacle consists of a triangular pivot device coupled to a coil spring, the function of which is to deform upon impact. However, it has been regularly observed that such pivot device is not satisfactorily functional because of its considerable inertia or, in other words, its slow reaction response. Therefore, in response to an impact due to high speed, the device is slow to react, which results in a major portion of the impact energy to be directly transmitted from the front plow to the vehicle chassis before the latter has had time to react thereby causing, in some cases, important damages to one or more of the structural components of the vehicle.
Therefore, the construction of present snow removal equipments is totally rigid, using steel, the density of which is in the order of 7.8. There results, in addition to a heavy weight equipment, an excess weight on the front axle as well as a reduction on the rear axle, the function of which is to provide traction. This traction problem is amplified more particularly in the case of a snow covered, or icy, road. The snowplow vehicle is therefore rendered less efficient by this reduction of weight on the rear axle, this being amplified by an overload on the front axle, the function of which is to direct the vehicle.
Presently, many snowplow vehicles are used for two purposes: one is snow removal, the other is abrasive spreading. In the case where the vehicle is equipped with an abrasive spreader, it is mainly used in conditions of highly icy surfaces, which renders its maneuver or driving very risky when conditions of axle weight distribution described above exist. The important cantilever configuration of a snow removal equipment, made of steel, at the front of the vehicle further reduces its maneuverability and traction when the spreader is empty. Furthermore, weight reduction on a snowplow equipment becomes an important factor to satisfy the regulations concerning loads on road surfaces while rendering the vehicle more maneuverable and safer.
Presently, a complete snowplow equipment weights about 3,450 Kg which is distributed as follows: 1,050 Kg on the snowplow, 700 Kg on the side wing and 1,700 Kg on the harness and thrust chassis of the plow and the side wing.
When the snow plow and the side wing are in the up position, the results is the following; an additional weight of 2460 Kg on the front axle and a reduction of 530 Kg on the rear axle. This weight distribution conditions prevail more particularly when the snow plow vehicle spreads salt and sand on icy road conditions when there is no snow removal.
The use of steel for the construction of these components automatically results in it being subjected to rust or corrosion, which is a chemical attack phenomenon particular to the environment in which the equipment is used. The snow plow and the side wing are also exposed to abrasion due to cumulative sand dispersed in snow. The abrasion effect inside the front and side plow blades results in scratching paint and exposing fresh steel to corrosion in a continuous process. The most exposed surface to abrasion is localized in the lower portion of the blades where the sand-loaded snow is compressed, accumulated and cast off to the side. A regular and periodical maintenance is therefore required to ensure a minimum of longevity and important periodic operations of sand-blasting, of protection coating and of painting are needed. Hence, important maintenance costs and a constant wear of the equipment due to corrosion are factors affecting present snowplow equipment.
An object of the present invention is therefore to provide a snowplow equipment which is made of a material lighter than steel, which is totally resistant to corrosion by the use of polymeric composite materials and which is relatively flexible so that it may absorb and resist to important road impacts between the front plow and the road obstacles.
The reduction of weight is obtained by the replacement of steel (density of 7.8) by a composite material, essentially constituted of continuous glass fibers and of thermoset resin, the density of which is 1.7 when glass fibers and thermoset resin are combined in weight rates of 50/50.
The fact that the center of gravity of the front plow in the up position and the thrust frame is situated in a cantilevered way with respect to the front axle of the vehicle shows that the weight of these components plays an important role in the distribution of the vehicle weight on the ground (front and rear axle). By greatly reducing the weight of these components, there results a reduction of the load on the front axle, an increase of the load of the rear axle for improved traction, the elimination of the need to reinforce the front chassis of the truck and, finally, the use of tires having conventional width as well as of front axles having conventional sizes.
The present invention therefore relates to a snowplow which comprises an elongated moldboard having a frontwardly curved profile extending between a lower horizontal edge and an upper inclined edge, the moldboard being formed of composite materials in a sandwich arrangement including a front wall, a rear wall and an inner core; the core consisting of wood and each wall consisting of a laminate of glass fibers and thermoset resin.
This snowplow construction is basically the same whether for the front snowplow or for the side wing.
The present invention also relates to a thrust chassis for mounting the front snowplow to the chassis of the vehicle, which comprises: a laminate body having a triangular shape including three side walls and rounded corners; each side wall having an inner core of hardwood encapsulated in a laminate of glass fibers and resin; each corner having an inner core of urethane encapsulated in a laminate of glass fibers and resin; and
a plurality of horizontally spaced spring means mounted to one of the side walls; each spring means consisting of an elliptical spring encapsulated in urethane.
The use of a composite material having a base of polymeric resin totally eliminates the corrosion problem which is particular to metal, such as steel, when in the presence of corrosive substances, such as the salt mixed with snow. The choice of a resin, such as polyester, vinyl ester or epoxy, brings this chemical resistance at a high level in a corrosive medium such as is the case with snowplow equipments.
Due to their construction in a composite material, these components (front plow, thrust frame and side wing) have a flexibility which is more or less dependent on the composition of the laminates used.
In the case of the thrust frame, the function of which being to absorb and distribute the impact energy resulting from sudden obstacles met by the plow, the triangular configuration of the frame combined with the incorporation of composite springs results in an assembly capable of elastically absorbing, i.e. without permanent deformation, road impacts as well as vibrations due to irregularities in the road surfaces.
Due to the closed geometry of the triangular frame, constituted by a laminate of glass fibers and resin inside which a core is encapsulated, two types of core have been devised: one is a core of hardwood in the straight sections of the frame; the other is a core of high density urethane resin in the corners of the frame. Thus, the three corners of the triangular frame have a urethane core whereas the three longitudinal sides have a hardwood core. The connection of these two types of cores is achieved by a jointing of the tenon-sleeve type so that the continuity of a semi-rigid assembly may be maintained.
The triangular frame has therefore a monocoque structure so that it can uniformly react when subjected to a deformation resulting from external forces caused by the thrust of snow and/or road obstacles. This monocoque construction also acts as a shock absorber in order to minimize the constraints applied on the vehicle chassis.
The triangular frame is serially combined to an ensemble of elliptical springs encapsulated in urethane resin; there results a double effect of energy take-up and absorbing. The elliptical springs have a dual purpose: first, to absorb energy and to distribute the deformation depending on the resultant of the forces applied to the plow whether at the center or at the extremities thereof; second, to enable a partial pivotment of the plow in the case where the wear blade contacts a sudden obstacle or when fully loaded with heavy snow.
The use of urethane resin to encapsulate the composite springs provides the springs with a damping effect to deformation and to substantially modify or increase the spring constant. Furthermore, the presence of a urethane elastomer between the triangular beam and the elliptical springs and the plow eliminates problems of friction or abrasion between the surfaces resulting from the vibration constraints of the plow. The presence of urethane around the elliptical springs reduces the localized constraints of torsion created by the angle (oblique) of thrust of the plow. When the plow is partially or totally filled with snow, the resultant force causes a lateral deformation of the springs, which deformation is uniformly redistributed by the presence of the urethane elastomer around the elliptical springs. The elliptical springs, being encapsulated in urethane resin, are therefore capable of absorbing deformations whether in a perpendicular axis or at an oblique angle; and, this is achieved without generating localized stresses which could result in a premature breaking of the component.
The flexibility of the assembly of the thrust frame is further obtained by the presence of two compensatory arms which are also made of a composite material and which have a spring function. As a result of their particular configuration, these two arms serve to retain the plow in position while enabling it, in case of impact or rearward pivotment, or before reacting, to absorb and distribute the resultant energy. Their effect is combined to that of the elliptical springs, situated at the base of the plow, and the resultant of all this assembly enables the plow to react in a flexible manner to the constraints, or external forces, particular to snowplowing.
The configurations of the two compensatory arms are different due to their location with respect to their capability of pushing the plow. The load or maximum force resulting from the snow thrust being situated on the side of the exit of the plow, the arm situated near the exit plow side has a greater dimension than that situated at the opposite side. The connections of the arms to the triangular frame and to the plow require the assistance of plates, molded in urethane in order to eliminate premature wear of the contact surfaces which are caused by road vibrations. Furthermore, the presence of these elastomeric plates enable to reduce the concentrated effect of the tightening forces of the anchorage bolts by uniformly redistributing the contact pressure between the pieces in presence with one another.
The presence of a urethane elastomer between the connections or contact surfaces of the various structural components enables a safe assembly against fatigue by uniformly distributing the tightening forces of the connecting bolts and by eliminating all possible localized wear due to road vibrations.
The construction of the front plow component is determined to provide a secondary feature, that is to also participate to the criteria of flexibility and energy absorption. As a result of its geometry as well as of its rigidity, the plow is constructed so as to absorb energy generated by snow removal as well as impact phenomena.
The use of a sandwich-type structure for the moldboard with a longitudinal reinforcement at its base (where the wear blade is located) provides an assembly which is relatively rigid while still permitting elastic deformations, which deformations are clearly superior to those permitted by steel when the plow is subject to high constraints of deflexion, torsion and compression.
The core used in the moldboard section of the plow is balsa wood which is a material having a density of about 0.15, while the core constituting the longitudinal reinforcement at the base of the moldboard is hardwood timber, such as maple or birch, having a density of 0.7 approximately.
The spring connections at the base of the plow, in other words along the axis of its connection to the thrust frame, enables the plow to absorb, to deform and to transfer the deformation energy to the thrust frame in a proportional distribution manner whether the resultant of the forces generated on the plow are perpendicular or oblique with respect to the central axis of the vehicle.
The equilibrium of the plow in a vertical plane is obtained by the two arms which are connected to the upper part of the moldboard. Whether the amount of accumulated and displaced snow is more or less important on the moldboard, the two compensatory arms as well as the elliptical springs mounted at the base of the moldboard have a proportional reaction.
Therefore, depending on the amount of snow which is accumulated and displaced by the plow, the latter can be slightly and elastically deformed along its longitudinal axis thereby providing a better distribution of the loads on each of the connections, i.e., the elliptical springs and the two arms. The flexibility of the plow is therefore an important criterion for the operation of the energy absorbing system constituted by the arms, the springs and the triangular frame.
Other objects and further scope of applicability of the present invention will become apparent from the detailed description given hereinafter. It should be understood, however, that this detailed description, while indicating preferred embodiments of the invention, is 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.

FIG. 8 is a rear elevation of the side wing;
FIG. 9 is a side elevation, partly sectional, of the side wing; and
FIG. 10 is an enlarged cross-section of the lower part of the side wing.
Referring to FIG. 1, there is shown a snowplow vehicle, generally denoted 10, equipped with components made in accordance with the present invention: a front plow 12, a thrust frame 14 and a side wing 16. While the front plow is shown mounted to the thrust frame, the latter is shown mounted to the front of the road vehicle by means of a harness mechanism 15; the side wing is mounted to the side of the vehicle by means of a pushing arm structure 17. Both the harness mechanism and the pushing arm structure are conventional and will not be described in detail.
Referring to FIGS. 2, 3 and 4, the front plow 12 comprises an elongated moldboard 18 having a frontwardly curved profile extending between a lower horizontal edge 20 and an upper inclined edge 22. A wear blade 24 is secured to the lower edge 20 while a snow deflector 26 is fixedly mounted to the upper edge 22. A pair of conventional skates 27 is fixed to the base of the front plow.
As can be seen in FIGS. 4 and 5, the moldboard is formed of composite materials in a sandwich arrangement defining a front wall 28, a rear wall 30 and an inner core 32. The front and rear walls 28 and 30 consist of laminates 29, 31 of continuous filaments of glass fibers and a resin matrix of thermoset type while the core consists of wood (two layers being shown as 32a, 32b).
The moldboard represents, a major portion of the front snowplow and its rigidity is obtained by this sandwich construction of relatively uniform thickness. Preferably, the wood core is balsa wood and its function is to provide an important part of the overall thickness thus increasing rigidity for a fixed amount of glass fibers laminate and thermoset resin.
The preferred form of balsa wood is Contourkore which is a core blanket formed of end-grain balsa block attached to an open-weaved fiberglass cloth or scrim. It is able to conform to a contour surface.
Forming the lower part of the moldboard, a reinforcement extends longitudinally; here the core 34 consists of a hardwood timber providing the required resistance. Preferably, this hardwood is maple or birch having the most uniform longitudinal fiber orientation and modulus of elasticity close to 2,000,000 psi (13,000 mega Pascals).
The structural resistance of the front and rear walls of the moldboard is obtained by means of a combination, or an orderly superposition, of various types of continuous glass fibers tissues, having orientation angles varying between 0� and 180�; these tissues are entirely impregnated with thermoset resin, such as vinyl ester.
The low weight of the moldboard is obtained by the balsa wood 32 and by the hardwood 34 which are materials having respective densities which are lower than that of the laminates of glass fibers/vinyl ester.
While maintaining a certain flexibility which is particular to composite materials, maximum rigidity is achieved by means of the two structural walls spaced by the core of balsa wood, thus providing an important increase of the inertia moment of the cross-section of the moldboard without, however, increasing proportionally the resulting weight (maximum rigidity increase for a minimum weight increase).
The moldboard is made by a molding process which consists in a manual operation of superposing layers of tissues of glass fibers impregnated with vinyl ester resin. The possibility of orienting the continuous filaments in one or more principal axes permits optimizing the required thickness and obtaining an optimal specific strength.
The thrust frame 14 has triangular shape with three longitudinal sides 40, 42 and 44 and round corners 76, 48 and 50 (see FIG. 2). The thrust frame consists of a continuous laminate of glass fibers tissues, the fibers being oriented in different predetermined directions which enable to meet the induced constraints of torsion, flexion and shearing as well as tension and compression. This laminate is thus continuous with rounded corners in order to minimize constraint concentrations.
The triangular and monocoque geometry of the thrust chassis offers a secure behaviour in case of extreme deformation because it favours the buckling phenomena of the three longitudinal sides of the triangular structure instead of a localized transversal shearing of only one longitudinal side.
The triangular beam has a sandwich construction and it comprises a core constituted by two materials, i.e. a hardwood timber core 40a, 42a, 44a in respective side wall sections 40, 42 and 44 and a urethane core 46a, 48a, 50a in respective rounded corners 46, 48 and 50. The mechanical connection of hardwood to urethane is obtained by a sleeve-type jointing of the urethane at the extremity of the timber; this enables an efficient transfer of constraints between the two materials when the triangular beam is subjected to relatively important deformations.
Referring to FIG. 2, to the side wall 44 of the beam is mounted a series of spring members 52, 54, 56, 58 and 60. As shown in FIG. 4, these members are connected by means of bolts 62 to the lower part of the moldboard, more particularly to the timber wood reinforcement 34. The spring members are also connected to the side wall 44 of the beam by means of bolts 64 which extend through the timber wood 44a. Each spring member consists of an elliptical spring 66 which is formed of unidirectional filaments which are circumferentially oriented and wound in a manner that they generate a balanced laminate of glass fibers and thermoset resin. The ratio of fiber to resin as well as the total thickness of the laminate determine the resultant spring constant. In the present embodiment where five spring members are used, it has been found that a minimum of three springs are always active whether the applied load is decentered towards the left or the right.
The elliptical spring is generally and, in great part, subject to an oblique load, torsion constraints, which are not negligible, must be compensated by the addition of a urethane envelope 68 around the elliptical spring. This envelope serves to redistribute more uniformly the induced constraints (torsion and flexion) in the elliptical laminate while conferring to it an additional absorption effect. Furthermore, this envelope of urethane renders more uniform the contact pressure between the three components i.e. the thrust frame, the elliptical springs and the snowplow, while eliminating wear problems that may result from relative movement between the contacting surfaces. The anchoring of the elliptical springs to the contiguous components is achieved by a simple fastening of metallic plates 70 and 72 against the urethane envelope. During the pouring of the urethane around the elliptical springs, the inclined planes of the contacting surfaces are reproduced accurately thus permitting a simple and efficient assembly.
A pair of compensatory arms 71 and 74 are mounted to the triangular beam and have respective projections 78 and 80 which are adapted to be mounted to the moldboard. These arms are fabricated in substantially the same way as that of the elliptical springs without, however, being encapsulated in urethane resin. The relative thickness of each arm is established as a function of the potential distribution of loads on the front of the snowplow. The dual function (resistance to forward and to rearward movements) is also related to the geometry of the shape of the arms which must be fixedly anchored to the thrust chassis as described above.
The arms are therefore conceived to work in a cantilever manner, in parallel with the five elliptical springs. As soon as the moldboard is subjected to rotation in the vertical plane, there first occurs a localized deformation of the urethane envelope on the elliptical springs and, thereafter, a cantilever deflection of the arms follows.
There is therefore a relation between the spring constant of the arms and that of the elliptical springs, which constant may be adjusted in accordance with the rate of glass fibers to resin and to the thickness and width of each of the components.
Referring to FIGS. 8, 9 and 10, the composition of the side wing 16 is of the same type as the moldboard 12. It comprises an elongated moldboard 118 having a frontwardly curved profile extending between a lower horizontal edge 120 and upper inclined edge 122. A wear blade 124 is secured to the lower edge 120 while a pair of conventional skates 127 is fixed to the base of the moldboard. The board of the side wing is a sandwich structure requiring a core of balsa wood and hardwood. The balsa core 132 is in the curving portion of the wing whereas the hardwood timber 134 is located at the base of the wing where a wear blade 124 is mounted. The laminates 128 and 130 of the front and rear walls are obtained from the same type of tissues utilized for the moldboard, except that their combination is different. An anti-abrasive gel coat can be applied on the inner to reduce or eliminate the abrasion effect resulting from sand content in the snow.
The relative importance of the flexion and torsion constraints resulting from the loading diagram, combined to the type of support of the side wing results in that the orientation of the fibers is different from that of the front plow. The reduction of the weight of the wing results principally from the use of a sandwich type structure, the thickness of which has the effect to increase radically the module of rigidity of the wing assembly. The molding of an integral flange at the upper edge as well as at the lower edge increases the resistance in flexion and in torsion of the wing.
Although the invention has been described above with respect with one specific form, it will be evident to a person skilled in the art that it may be modified and refined in various ways. For example, although the snow equipment was described above as being mounted to a road vehicle, it is noted that such vehicle may be track-propelled instead of wheel driven. It is therefore wished to have it understood that the present invention should not be limited in scope, except by the terms of the following claims in which the term "snowplow" designates the front plow and the side wing described above.

Green Hills, Wind River In Contract Disagreement
Santa Barbara-based Green Hills Software has been sued by embedded software firm Wind River Systems in a lawsuit to terminate a cooperative agreement between the two companies. According to Green Hills, the two companies are in a 99-year cooperative agreement which calls for the two companies to collaborate on providing Wind River's VxWorks operating system and Green Hill's MULTI embedded software development tools at joint customers. Green Hills claims that Wind River has withheld operating system updates, and had filed an earlier antitrust lawsuit against Wind River.

This vintage Christmas bowl from pre WWII Germany looks like a decoration for Halloween with its fairy tale vignettes along the sides and the Hansel and Gretel scene within but its shape and the candles, bells and boughs on the back mark it as a Christmas dish used for candy and treats. Made of pressed cardboard the bowl measures 11.5 inches across and 2 inches in height and features an Owl in the middle with a Robin, a Partridge and Pigeons / Doves on the sides. It is in good condition for its age (1930's-40's) with a little wear at the edges and the colors are still crisp and bright, and is marked "Germany" on the inside. Fabulous on your mantle or a low table where its delicious design can be admired. Go ahead and put it out for Halloween, too, we'll never tell! ;-)

Digital marketing is relatively new in the beverage alcohol industry. It was once a tiny percentage of the marketing budget, but some brands -- ike our Jack Daniel's Tennessee Honey -- now rely heavily on the digital aspect of ad campaigns.
Because we have a lot of digital natives on our teams, our IT organization has a solid awareness of how consumers interact with our brands in the digital space and can provide meaningful insights to our marketers.
Turning to Tech to Understand Customers
While we're not equipped to teach our marketers how to market, we can help them understand technology, the technographic behavior of consumers, and where our messaging should appear. When you ask a digital native how they interact with brands, you get a very different answer today than our marketers would have expected just a few years ago.

The men of Zulu Company of the Royal Fusiliers, part of the Desert Rats, launched a daring night-time attack on the local Ba'ath party headquarters in Basra in the most dramatic action yet by UK forces in the Gulf.
The men later posed proudly with a trophy of war, a painting of Saddam Hussein.
A few hours later the southern port of Umm Qasr was declared "safe and open" after days of street fighting. Umm Qasr will allow the Allies to land vital humanitarian aid with the first shipment expected within 36 hours.
The drama involving the Desert Rats took place in Zubayr, seen as a hotbed of resistance led by Ba'ath party loyalists.
A mixed force of Desert Rats and Royal Marines stormed a building identified as the Ba'ath party's key regional headquarters in the early hours of today.
They killed 20 Ba'ath party officials, Special Security Organisation members and Fedayeen fighters, Saddam's personal militia.
A senior Ba'ath party official was taken prisoner and is to be questioned on his knowledge of the resistance effort in and around Basra.
The commander of British forces in the Gulf, Air Marshal Brian Burridge, promising similar actions in the future.
He said: "We made it quite clear to them that we, the British Armed Forces are up for this and you are going to have a very hard time."
British forces now plan to use their expertise of operations in Bosnia and Kosovo to separate the Ba'athist regime from the local populace.
A senior military source said: "We want to split the oppressive regime away from the people who do not want to resist us. The local population are not interested in fighting."

BlackBerry users will soon be able to enjoy faster broadband internet access according to Mike Lazaridis, president and co-chief executive of Research in Motion. Speaking to the Financial Times, when asked what his latest squeeze is, the BlackBerry chief responded by saying: 'One of our prototypes - a 3.5G BlackBerry. It's very fast over third-generation networks that have HSDPA (High-Speed Downlink Packet Access).'
Until now, BlackBerry consumers have had to rely on 3G or Wi-Fi networks to access their emails or download content. With more HSDPA-enabled devices, RIM looks set to join the HSDPA bandwagon.

Re: Interior swap, What modules/parts need to swapped from my car?
What a great write up. I'd love to do this to my Fleetwood, but I'm scared....
I have to finish and explain the process for the doors. I keep forgetting.
Re: Interior swap, What modules/parts need to swapped from my car?
great work MC. This thread is very informative on sound deadening (I'm not looking forward to deadening my FWB though....seems very laborious, although I've had my interior out a few times already)
How much does that MLV cost?
- Sponsored Links Remove Advertisements
The raw material used for the manufacturing of MLV can vary. Some is unbearably smelly.
Here're the prices for the materials I used:
No smell unless you put your nose right up to it.
Keep in mind, since it's so heavy, and the roll is 54" wide, shipping is NOT cheap. If you can find a good product locally, you can save some money there.
Oh, since I don't think I've mentioned it yet. Dan, the owner of the above site, offers EXCELLENT customer service. Emails are answered quickly, questions in great detail. I'd HIGHLY recommend doing business with him to anyone starting a soundproofing project.
It's been more than 4 months since I posted the writeup on soundproofing the floor pan, and I STILL haven't posted anything on the process of soundproofing the doors, Yesterday, someone asked how the interior swap went, which reminded me. So before I forget again...
The doors require more steps and materials than the floorpan. Besides the MLV and CCF (if you've forgotten - Mass Loaded Vinyl and Closed Cell Foam), there's also extruded butyl rope, and Thinsulate Acoustic sound absorber/thermal insulation.
First, the butyl rope.
The purpose this serves is reducing panel resonance, but not in the same way the CLD (Constrained Layer Damper) tiles do. What you do with the rope is wedge it between the side impact beams and door skin. This supports the door skin where it's weakest, in the center. You don't run a continuous length of it, you leave gaps so that any water that might migrate past the window reveal moldings can drain off.
The gap between the beam and door skin is pretty wide in these cars, so what I did was cut 8" lengths, and fold them in half:
Then I spaced them out, and pushed them into the gap. The rope is very sticky, and would stick to your fingers if you pressed on it directly. SDS is nice enough to include small squares of non stick paper to press down on it with. The only problem I had with them is that they were small. My solution was to use the backing from the CLD tiles. One side is waxed, and they're much larger. Worked great.
You might have noticed that next to the butyl rope, there are painted over blobs of expanding foam adhesive. Being a luxury car, GM applied a few dollops that serve the same purpose of the butyl rope. The butyl did make a noticeable difference in the "tap test" though.
The next step was applying CLD tiles to the outer door skin. This was easy and straight forward. There is one CLD tile on the lower part of the door from the factory. It's painted over, but you can see it in the picture. You can't see all of the tiles that I put on because the inner door skin is in the way, but you get the idea:
Now because the plastic moisture barrier mounts over the inner door skin, I couldn't place CLD tiles on the front side of it. The solution is applying the tiles to the backside. A little trickier, but not too bad:
You also have to poke holes for any fasteners:
The next step was applying CLD tiles to the RIDICULOUSLY brittle moisture barriers. I started with a front door, being EXTREMELY careful to support the area behind where I was using the roller:
Then I removed the rear door panels, and discovered the rear barriers were shattered. So... off to the junk yard. As I was removing door panels looking for intact barriers, I discovered that the '98-'00 cars had black, ABS plastic barriers. They aren't brittle at all!!! I grabbed a complete set. Here's a rear one with tiles applied and installed:
Now... the fun part. The MLV...
To start, you trace each door panel onto the MLV, and cut out the shapes. You'll never be as to use that big of a piece, but you have to start somewhere. Since the MLV doesn't compress at all, you have to cut it short of the perimeter of the door panel, around any fasteners, and anywhere there's contact between the door panel and inner door skin/moisture barrier. As it worked out for the Seville, the overall shape had to match the moisture barrier completely, so I traced the barriers onto the MLV, and cut out those shapes.
Then the fine trimming starts. For this car, cutouts around the speakers, where the door handle mounts, and protrusions on the moisture barriers. The trick is to cut away as little as possible, and make as few holes as possible. The less MLV, the less effective it is as a sound barrier.
Here's what I was left with after making all the cuts for a front door:
The little black squares you see are patches of Velcro. That's what holds the MLV to the doors. It's the same Velcro used for the floorpan pieces, with the vinyl specific adhesive. Here're the corresponding pieces on the door:
You also have to decouple the MLV from the door with CCF. This is pretty easy. Trace the MLV, cut the CCF a little smaller, glue them together with the vinyl specific contact cement.
The Velcro is stuck to the MLV, and the CCF has to go between the MLV and the door. So doesn't the CCF get in the way? No. Because the CCF is so thin, and it compresses. All you have to do is make cutouts where the Velcro is, and the thickness of the Velcro allows the hook and loop sides to reach each other right past the CCF. You're left with this:
Here's a piece of MLV cut to the shape of a front door panel, and a piece cut to fit. You end up trimming a lot off:
Here're the the MLV/CCF "panels" installed:
I'm not sure how many more pictures I have to post, and I think I'm getting close to the 15 picture per post limit. So I'm going to start a new post...
It took A LOT of test fitting and trimming to get the MLV/CCF to fit, and allow the door panels to go back on. The good thing is, you only have to figure out one front door and one rear door. In most cases, the opposite doors are just mirror images, so you just trace the two you made and cut copies.
The last part of treating the doors is filling as much of the door panel with the Thinsulate Acoustic product as possible. It comes in a roll, and is surprisingly tricky to cut. It actually dulled 2 pairs of scissors. You can't use a razor blade, because the white part is actually quite delicate, and would just pull and tear.
It actually took a lot longer to get all the pieces cut than I expected. Not too much to show on this. Just measuring, cutting, test fitting, and a few dots of hot glue to hold it in place:
Speaking of sound absorbing material. There is a small patch of it in each front door from the factory. Its size, and its position directly behind the speaker suggests that it's intended to absorb sound coming from the rear of the speaker, though, not to keep the cabin quiet.
The "T" at the top goes behind and over the side impact beam in the door, keeping it in place.
I just realized I never went over "decoupling" with the CCF.
Decoupling is just keeping 2 surfaces from touching each other, to keep them from vibrating. Anywhere there's MLV up against a surface or object that may vibrate against it, CCF is used as a decoupler. Something vibrating against the CCF won't make any sound. Another reason CCF is used instead of an open cell foam, is that it won't absorb liquids or odors.
I didn't bother putting CCF on the MLV on the floor. Two reasons: One, everything fits pretty precisely in this car, there's not much wiggle room. 1/8" doesn't sound line much, but when it's EVERYWHERE, and does not compress at all, it takes up more space than you'd think. Adding another 1/8" of foam, even if it is compressible, wasn't really an option. The other reason, it wasn't really necessary on the floor. The molded carpet foam is contoured to the foam, and more than heavy enough to keep the MLV pressed solidly against anything under earth it.
CCF doesn't block sound, so there was really no disadvantage to not using it in the floorpan.
It WAS used on the doors, on the large piece of MLV that goes from the top of the rear seat all down to the front of the rear seat bottom, and in several other places that things were hitting each other and vibrating (on the amplifier, on some areas of the moisture barriers, etc.).
Haha. I added ~80 pounds. The foam and Thinsulate are essentially weightless, and I didn't use all of the MLV.
Hey, between the Corsa weighing less than the stock system, and the power it added. Lets just say I broke even .

Re: Interior swap, What modules/parts need to swapped from my car?
Is this a tough job to do without all the extra mods, just to change the color?
While that all depends on your skill level, the dash (and reconnecting the intermediate steering shaft) are by far the most involved steps. Other than the ISS, I'm not sure I'd call any of it difficult. It's just a lot of things to do, and you'll be dealing with some fairly heavy and awkward parts that you have to be careful not to damage, or damage anything else with.
The headliner is delicate, and BARELY fits out of/into the car. If you read the whole thread, you'll see I had to repair it, and it was damaged before even removing it from the car. Easy enough to do, but it's another step. A pillars will probably fall apart and need repair, C pillar/sail panel clip posts may break.
It is a satisfying job once you're done. Like driving a whole new car.
If you do end up doing it, feel free to ask me any questions you have.

Re: Interior swap, What modules/parts need to swapped from my car?
Thank you, I will keep you posted.
Re: Interior swap, What modules/parts need to swapped from my car?
Hey MC, I'm considering doing this to my Tahoe. The material from the above manufacturer is about $800. Taking into account that price and the amount of work vs. what is gained, is it worth it?

The Attorney General is to appeal to Britain's highest court after suffering a comprehensive defeat in his attempts to prevent letters written by Prince Charles to ministers being made public.
Dominic Grieve, the Government's chief legal adviser, was told yesterday by the Court of Appeal that his decision to veto a ruling by a tribunal that the letters should be published was "unlawful" and contrary to both British and European law.
The ruling was the latest twist in a nine-year battle by The Guardian newspaper to force the disclosure of communications between the heir to the throne and ministers on the grounds that any attempts by the prince to influence government policy or decisions should be subject to public scrutiny.
Journalist Rob Evans won a ruling in 2012 by the Upper Tribunal of the Information Commissioner, a High Court body which sits on Freedom of Information (FOI) Act disputes, that it was in the public interest that the letters written to seven Whitehall departments between 2005 and 2006 to be disclosed.
But Mr Grieve then used his powers under the FOI Act to issue a "certificate" annulling the Upper Tribunal ruling and saying the departments had been legally entitled to refuse disclosure because the correspondence was part of the prince's "preparation for becoming king".
The letters were said to contain the prince's "most deeply-held personal views and beliefs", and their disclosure would "seriously damage" his ability to perform his duties as king because of the doubt it would cast on his political neutrality, according to Mr Grieve.
The Master of the Rolls, Lord Dyson, yesterday overturned that decision, saying that Mr Grieve had had "no reasonable grounds" for deciding to issue the certificate and it had been unlawful to do so under both British and European rules.
Despite the setback for the Government, the battle will continue after Mr Grieve said he will appeal the ruling to the Supreme Court, Britain's highest court.
In a statement, the Attorney General said: "We are very disappointed by the decision of the court. We will be pursuing an appeal to the Supreme Court in order to protect the important principles which are at stake in this case."Reuse content
