This application is a continuation-in-part of U.S. application Ser. No. 08/116,919 filed Sep. 7, 1993, now abandoned.
The field of the invention relates to a latch system for use in a disc drive, and more particularly to an improved disc drive design for increasing the torque applied to the latch.
It is well known that in rotating,non-removable data disc storage devices, a data read/write transducer flies upon an air cushion or bearing in extremely close proximity to the data surface. In many disc drives, including those which are of relatively small size, the transducer lands upon and takes off from a particular predefined landing region. It is possible, when shocks are applied to the disc drive, that the transducer can bounce or move across the surface of the disc, causing erosion or scarring of the magnetic film coating on the disc data zone surface. These such scars can lead to hard and soft data failures. In addition, the hard transducer may dent the surface of the data storage regions in response to shocks attributable to sharp or rough handling of the drive.
The characteristics of the air flow that are generated incident to the rotation of the storage in a discs in a drive, are analyzed and discussed in the prior art, as shown for example in U.S. Pat. No. 4,647,997 to Westwood and the IBM Journal of Development and Research 1974 pages 480-488. It has been established that two commonly mounted, spaced apart, rotating discs generate a significantly cantly greater air flow than is generated by a single rotating disc, and that the amount of air flow within the housing surrounding the discs is also a function of disc diameter and angular velocity. It is further known that the air flow force is greatest adjacent the periphery of the rotating discs and especially at the region defined between the two rotating discs and that it falls off rapidly as a non-linear function as the vane moves away from the disc periphery.
The results of these studies and as disclosed in the cited Westwood Patent as well as in U.S. Pat. 4,538,193, are aerodynamically actuated latches have been designed and intended to be incorporated in small size disc drives. Such latches have not been totally effective because of the lack of sensitivity and responsiveness to the limited air flow in small size disc drives. It has been found that the air flow values in such small disc drives must be accounted for carefully and in many cases are of too small a magnitude to effectively, reliably and responsively release the actuator when the discs begin rotation.
Furthermore, the cited references as well as U.S. Pat. No. 4,692,829 to Campbell, disclose aerodynamically actuated latches in which an air vane latch covers the space between two rotating discs of a disc drive assembly;
however, the known attempts to incorporate an air vane latch in a small size disc drive using a single disc have been ineffective because of the lack of sufficient air flow to reliably release the latch. Further, the spring force that restrains the transducer actuator assembly in the landing zone when the drive is not operating must also be carefully selected and calibrated so that the force can be overcome when the discs begin to move; it has been proven difficult to reliably calibrate and calculate such a spring force within the narrow allowed limits resulting from limited wind velocity.
Thus a need has arisen and continues to exist for a reliable responsive design for a air flow responsive latch flow mechanism incorporated into the housing for a single disc drive having one or more discs where the latch is responsive to the air flow generated in a small form factor disc drive to reliably latch and release the actuator mechanism, while continuing to restrain the actuator against relatively strong shocks.
A general object of the present invention is to overcome certain limitations and drawbacks in known aerodynamically operated latches for transducer actuator assemblies in a disc drive.
A further object of the invention is to provide an effective aerodynamic transducer latch mechanism within the confines of a miniaturized disc drive structure even utilizing a single disc.
A further object of the invention is to provide a design which integrates the aerodynamic latch and the housing so that the latch has sufficient effective torque applied to it by the air generated by the rotating disc so that the latch remains disengaged even as it rotates away from the edge of the disc.
According to one aspect of the invention, there is provided a latch system for use in a disc drive wherein a latch system comprises a latch arm having an engaging portion for engaging an engaging transducer support arm for a disc drive to prevent movement of the transducer, and a vane characterized by the fact that the vane is located at a distance from the center of the disc of the disc drive at a distance which is greater than the radius of the disc and extends partially along an arc or a line near to the edge of the disc. The latch arm and vane are arranged so that in the presence of disc rotation wind presses against the vane, and the vane moves away from the disc.
In order to make the vane effective and create sufficient torque or force against the surface of the vane even when the vane has moved away from the edge of the rotating disc and even where only a single disc is used, the aerodynamically powered latch of the present invention is incorporated in a disc drive including a base casting and a top casting defining a chamber. Preferably, the top surface of the chamber is depressed in the region of the disc which is upstream from the location of the vane, where by upstream is meant that the rotation of the disc causes wind to be generated which flows under the top portion of the housing and then impacts against the vane. By providing a specifically defined, depressed region in the top housing surface, sufficient torque is generated by the airflow as caused by rotation of a disc for the wind to press against the wind vane and cause the vane to move around its center of rotation, away from the edge of the disc, and to remain away from the edge of the disc until rotation of the disc ceases. Preferably, the wind vane flag is shaped to follow the contour of the edge of the rotating disc or discs and has one end extending near to the sidewall of the housing to capture the maximum amount of effective windage generated by the rotation of the disc. Other features and advantages of the present invention will be understood by a person of skill in the art who studies the present invention disclosure as explained with reference to the following figures wherein:
FIG. 1 is an enlarged top plan view of miniaturized disc drive incorporating some of the principals of the present invention which with the latch being shown;
FIG. 2 is a top plan view of a disc drive incorporating the present invention illustrating both the location of the wind vane latch;
FIG. 3 is a vertical side view of the present invention illustrating the top cover and air vane;
FIG. 4 is a graph illustrating the relationship between the restrained torque applied to the wind vane to hold it in place by a restraining spring relative to the windage torque applied to the air vane as it moves from a fully closed to a fully opened position; and
FIG. 5A illustrates torque measurements made on a disc drive incorporating the modified top cover and a modified base as well as at Figure 5B and 5C pressure measurements illustrating the effective air pressure against the surface of the vane utilizing the present invention.
FIG. 1 shows in a plan view the basis elements of a miniaturized disc drive incorporating a latch with which the wind vane of this invention is useful, showing the latch in the latched position. Briefly, it can be seen that as the disc spins in the direction of the arrow A in a counterclockwise direction, the spinning disc creates a moving sheet of air which acts against the air vane flag 66 causing movement of the vane in the direction of the arrow B with sufficient force to unlatch the latch at 50 and allow the actuator arm 40 to move freely.
Referring more specifically to the details of what is shown as a miniaturized disc drive in FIG. 1, the disc drive includes a unitary housing 3 and a disc spindle 5 having an axis of rotation 7. The spindle S is coupled directly to an electronically commutated brushless DC spindle motor (not shown) supported from the base casting 4 and rotating at a constant speed to rotate the data storage disc 10 in the counterclockwise direction shown by arrow A. This rotation typically occurs at a predetermined and constant angular velocity. The data storage disc 10 provides data storage surfaces on tracks generally indicated at 20 on the upper and lower surfaces of the disc 10. The surfaces are characterized by the presence of suitable magnetic storage media which may be such materials as are well known in the art, which are coated, plated, or deposited on the surfaces of the disc. The disc 10 and the miniaturized mechanism generally indicated at 3 is preferably about 47 millimeters in diameter, although the present invention may be useful with both smaller and larger disc drive sizes. More particularly, this invention is especially useful and important in disc drives utilizing a single disc, wherein reliable activation of the vane 66 is difficult to achieve because of the limited aerodynamic pressures which can be generated. It is also especially useful in very small size disc drives, where little extra height is available.
The rotary actuator arm assembly 40 is provided which is bidirectionally rotatable and is journalled to the base casting 4 at an axis of rotation 42. The actuator arm assembly 40 rotates bidirectionally in a range of movement along an arc of approximately 30 degrees as indicated by the arrow C in FIG. 1. The arm assembly 40 includes a coil (not shown) adjacently overlying a premagnetized permanent magnet in a region generally indicated at 44. Energization of this coil causes selective movement of the actuator arm along the path C to move the transducer support arm 46 and thereby transducer 48.
The transducer support arm 46 extends out over the surface of the disc and supports the slider assembly 48 for the transducer, supporting the transducer to fly typically 3 to 15 microinches above the data surface on an airbearing or cushion of air resulting from the disc rotation.
The aerodynamic latch of this invention include latch arm 64 having a finger 61 engaging a notch 50 on or near the center of rotation of the transducer support arm to hold the arm in the landing zone over the surface of the disc when the disc drive is not in use. Although this is one possible configuration for the latch engagement arm, many others are possible used in combination with the wind latch of this invention; the significant features of the invention are the cooperation of the wind vane 66 and the profiled top cover of the housing to be described in detail below.
In this embodiment with which the invention is useful, when wind vanes 66 is close adjacent to the edge of the rotating disc 20, then the latch arm engages the actuator arm. When the disc rotates in the direction A generating sufficient wind pressure against the facing surface of the wind vane 66, then the vane moves in the direction of the arrow B and the latch arm 64 causes engaging finger 61 to disengage from the notch 50.
Typically, means are also provided to bias the air vane latch to the closed, engaged position in FIG. 1 so that the actuator arm is secure, even in the event of significant shock. A spring 76 is provided wound around the center of rotation of the air vane 66 and latch arm 64, having one end bearing against a post 78. The force of the spring normally biases the wind vane to closed position shown in FIG. 1. By closed position, it is meant that the latch engagement arm 64 has engaged the notch, the wind vane flag 66 is closely adjacent to the disc, and the actuator assembly 40 has moved the transducer slider assembly 48 to the landing zone 52. The design constraints which apply to this aspect of the present device are illustrated in FIG. 4 where the countervailing effects of the spring, and the air blowing against the air vane flag 66 are graphically displayed. As can be seen, the spring is provided with a certain level of spring preload, which together with frictional effects maintains the air vane flag in its closed or home position, with engagement arm 64 securely latching the actuator assembly by engaging notch 50. As the discs begin to turn in the direction of arrow A and air moves against the air vane flag 66, the vane is displaced in the direction of the arrow B.
Obviously, for the same speed of rotation of the discs, the further the vane 62 moves from the edge of the disc, the more dispersed the effects of the air flowing against the air vane flag 66; thus the torque of the air against the air vane flag diminishes as the vane moves from the fully closed to the fully open position. Concurrently, the engagement arm 64 moves in a direction opposite to arrow B, and away from its latching position, the spring 76 is wound more tightly, increasing the torque exerted by the spring; thus the spring attempts to restore the wind vane 66 to its closed position. It is therefore critical to maintain a margin 84 between the spring torque and the wind torque, so that the torque of the wind is not entirely overcome. Thus, it is essential to optimize the effects of the wind generated by the rotation of the disc against the surface of the wind vane.
According to this invention, the increased air pressure and thus increased torque to move the vane away from the disc is achieved by providing a depressed region 80 in the surface of the top cover over a portion of the top surface of the topmost or single disc 10 as shown in FIG. 2. This depressed region extends circumferentially from near to air vent 82 in the top cover 84 of the disc circumferentially around to a line which extends across the top surface of the disc approximately parallel to the center line of the actuator arm 46. Radially, the depressed region extends from a point near to the mounting hub 50 out to the outer edge 86 of the cover 84. To be most effective, it has been found that the depressed region should extend as close as possible to the landing area of the actuator arm, although it must end at this point to provide necessary clearance for movement of the actuator arm. However, the radially outer edge 88 of the depressed region 80 must be tailored to run parallel to the outer edge of the disc and extend along the inner edge of the surface of the disc in the region where the air vane will be moving; it then bends out to join the outer edge of the cover at a radial point 90 where the vane ends.
Turning to the side view of FIG. 3, it can be seen that he depth of the top cover depression indicated at 80 is not great, as the necessary clearance for top disc 10 in what is shown herein as a two-disc design as well as for the actuator 46 limit the depth of the depression. The objective as clearly appears by the horizontal line 94 indicating the bottom of the depression, is to bring the top cover just barely above the top surface of the rotating disc so that the air is forced between this top surface of the top most disc and the depressed surface of the cover. As the air exits this region, it impacts the air vane 66 and effectively moves it away from the edge of the disc; as can be seen by returning to the top view of FIG. 2, the air exits between the side regions 88, 90 of the depressed regions will continue to have an impact against the air vane even as the air vane 66 rotates away from the edge of the rotating disc 10. Thus the necessary force to overcome the spring return force as defined in FIG. 5 is consistently applied to the rotating vane by the preferred embodiment.
Typical torque measurements for discs operated at both 4500 RPM and 5400 RPM are shown in FIG. 5A, with the "baseline" representing the torque measurement against a disc with an unmodified cover; "modified TC" representing torque measurement for a modified top cover: and "modified base" representing the improved torque against the vane if a similar modification were made to the base rather than to the top cover.
The pressure distribution under the depressed region of the disc is shown in FIGS. 5B and 5C and clearly establishes a variation in pressures circumferentially extending underneath the depressed region, with the most dramatic increases in pressure being in the regions where air would exit from underneath the depressed top cover region and impact the vane.
These measurements clearly establish the effectiveness of the present approach, and especially incorporating the depressed region into the top cover.
Having described the above embodiment of the invention, it can be appreciated that the objects of the present invention can be fully achieved thereby. It will also be understood by those of skill in the art that changes in construction and different embodiments of the application will suggest themselves without departure from the spirit and scope of the invention. The disclosures and description herein are illustrative and are not intended to be in any sense limiting. The scope of the present invention is intended to be defined by the following claims.

The latest issue of Dengeki has some juicy Hyperdimension Neptunia info for PSVita.
- Famitsu & Dengeki will both feature playable characters in Ultra Dimension Action Neptunia U. Also, as with Tamsoft's other beat 'em up series ie Senran Kagura Burst, Ultra Dimension Neptunia U will have costume damage (Holy moly! take a look at that nosebleed inducing shimapan on Neptune in the scans below) Players will also be able to switch between two characters in battle on the fly, which should keep things interesting. No word on whether this will translate to a co-op mode just yet.
- Dengeki PlayStation also reports that Sting-chan, a new character that represents the seasoned developer working on the game, will be available as downloadable content. IF and Compa will also be DLC characters too. As an added surprise, Tiara from Fairy Fencer F will be a downloadable guest character. Its not known how many characters will come post-launch, but with Planet Destroyer Black Heart focusing on game franchises instead of developers/publishers, anything is possible

Hello, i've noticed a littl
i've noticed a little problem with a mesh imported from gmsh.
I am using OpenFOAM-1.4.1-dev and tried to set up a dynamic mesh with a mesh imported from gmsh (gmsh-2.2.6). It's an axisymmetric case, so i revolved my mesh in gmsh to get a 5° wedge mesh.
The problem occurs when i try to update the mesh after setting up the motionU field. It crashes in the DICPrecontioner class with a null division. The checkMesh noticed some unused points in the mesh.
To be sure that the problem comes from the mesh, i've rebuild a mesh with the makeAxialMesh contrib and the mesh update worked fine.
I don't know if it still occurs with OF-1.5, i've not updated my stuff to OF-1.5-dev at the moment.

Time cheat problem
I have done the time cheat which is brilliant!! only problem is that i got too carried away and now im stuck. i was told to put all the facilities into the storage then place them back but the only problem is that i have two golf courses being repaired and the game wont let me touch either of them. am i screwed? thanks :)
Answer from: RaeRae
You can get around that by doing immediate execution. you have to spend piastres but you can use the time cheat unlimited times to get more piastres.
Answer from: anonym1
I used piastres for immediate execution but i also used time cheat trick again to unblock those buildings. i calculated time of accumulation for those buildings and forwarded time settings on my device to that date. it made those buildings useful again. then i didn't repair anything and went back in time in airplane mode (cuts off connection to internet). i had to toy around with dates and how far i could go back till i got everything working again.
Answer from: maribell
I had the same problem... but an easier way to do it is keep doing the time cheat until all of your facilities need to be repaired... once they all needto be repaired set ur date back to normal date... open paradise island and repair everything at once ... it will correct itself.
Answer from: sham
Has anyone updated to version 1.1 after you have time cheated? what will happen? i also received the warning x3 telling me i was using time cheat but i worked around it and still play the game. i'm just worried i'm gonna loose everything when i go to update....
Answer from: yumyum
Problem!!! when i collect the money, it reduces my tatol ammount of money. when i start to repair something the total ammout rises. help, please!
Answer from: I-Did-Not-Cheat
I received a warning 3 times about time cheat yet i never did cheat. i asked the support people to un-ban me from the things you get banned from for time cheating and they said they ran their time cheat detection through quality and that it works. i guess i am living proof that their quality control is not very good. i guarantee i never did any time cheat on my htc inspire and i don't even know how, yet they are punishing me for something i did not do. i am deleting the game, will never play another of their games again and i will encourage anyone and everyone to not play their games. they can try and accuse me, but i can try and influence people to not spend any of their hard earned money or waste any of their precious time on paradise island.
Answer from: HELP MIKEPLEASE
How come I losed my visitors special pop-ups when I time cheat...is that normal can I get it back to normal PLEASE PLEASE HELP....thinking about starting the game over...
Answer from: Frustrated
After a year of playing this game and having obtained 153 awards now it wont let me load it. It says my Ipod has "date set incorrectly". I checked and rechecked and has the right time and date. I thought maybe it had something to do with time savings and changed location, then changed time forward and backwards. I only lets me in with the WRONG DATE and my buildings need like 30 plus hours to update. I can't get in with the RIGHT DATE AND TIME. And now they are accusing me of cheating!!!! I should sue them!!!!
Answer from: cvinon
I have the same problem. I dropped my phone and when I got it back working my time was set wrong. I must have put it in the incorrect time zone, so I changed the time and played paradise island. My phone reset its time as I must have had automatic time on except I had the incorrect time zone. This happened a few times. I dont remember seeing any warnings But I have tried to add friends islands and tried to visit Islands and it says I cheated... I am not sure if there is anything I can do. I was really enjoying the game, but really dont want to start again after so many months of playing...anyone know if this can be sorted

(COLUMBUS, Ohio) — Police have identified a man who allegedly attacked four people at a Columbus, Ohio restaurant with a machete on Thursday before fleeing.
Columbus police shot and killed the suspect, 30-year-old local man Mohamed Barry, but said he had no criminal history and there was no known motive for the stabbings.
All victims who sustained wounds at the Nazareth Restaurant and Deli were expected to recover, Columbus Police Chief Kim Jacobs said.
According to the Columbus Dispatch, the restaurant owner Hany Baransi said his business was targeted because of his Israeli descent.
The FBI was brought in to investigate after Deputy Police Chief Michael Moods said there were "red flags" surrounding the attack.
"Lone individual, machete, going into a public place, committing an assault on people that he apparently does not know: those are the things that give us concern and those are the things we wanted to answer right away," he said.
"Fortunately, no one's life was lost except for the perpetrator," Ohio Gov. John Kasich said on the campaign trail in South Carolina Friday afternoon.
But there was "a lot of blood, a lot of pain," Kasich said. "So we got to rally around those people."

text: Has anyone used a restaurant.com cert with this restaurant? How does it work? Will they give me flak, if I have two under 12 children with me anyway.. (reading the fine print of the cert not to be combined with any other offer). Is it worth getting a cert for a $12.50 price... yes $12.50 for a $25 certificate. Whats the typical cost of things? Is it like a Friendly's? (thats the impression I got from the website?) Are the buffets any good?

BSOD with kernel error, no idea
Started getting BSODs as of yesterday. Not sure what is causing them since I have not modified my system with anything new in the last few days. I have attached the Diagnostic test read outs in ZIp file as per request. Hopefully the demi gods of technology here can see what the issue is. '
Not really sure when it occurs, I seem to be away from computer when it does.

I didn't delete her post, she deleted it herself.
Basically, your running a counterfeit installation, the key matches a HP computer, and therefore will only come preinstalled with a HP motherboard at the factory. The key can't be transferred to another computer, and is tied to that one motherboard.
Please format and install with a genuine key, counterfeit installations are usually modified to bypass or pass activation requirements, and thereby are very unpredictable, often having numerous security issues as well as stability.
If cyberpowerpc is a company or business, then I suggest you contact them immediately and ask for a refund.

So in a nutshell what you are saying is I got scammed by a computer company who installed counterfit software in a computer I purchased from them?
Figures, guess you just really cant trust anybody anymore when it comes to buying things.
So how do I go about fixing this counterfit problem. Its been a year, so I doubt they would be willing to refund me, besides the point I would have to ship the heavy thing back to them no doubt and that would cost like $100

You could report the company if they don't offer you a refund, they haven't fulfilled their obligation to sell a product which matches the description.

Supply Chain Glossary - X
Abbreviation for extensible markup language.
The amount of good or acceptable material available after the completion of a process. Usually computed as the final amount divided by the initial amount converted to a decimal or percentage. In manufacturing planning and control systems, yield is usually related to specific routing steps or to the parent item to determine how many units should be scheduled to produce a specific number of finished goods. For example, if 50 units of a product are required by a customer and a yield of 70% is expected then 72 units (computed as 50 units divided by .7) should be started in the manufacturing process. Syn: material yield. See: scrap factor, yield factor.

Whenever you walk into a party, especially one at a friend's house, you will always meet a mix of people. Most of them you will probably know if you are close to the host, but sometimes you end up meeting a completely new set of people. At every party, you will notice the couples more than anyone else because of their specific behavior and it's fun to try and slot them into a different category.
PDA - There will always be that couple that's heavily into public display of affection. The ones who are all over each other and make it a point to overly touch, kiss and hug. While they are extremely comfortable with each other and their display of love and affection, it's a little difficult for everyone else who doesn't want to see them like that, and at most times makes the situation uncomfortable for everyone else.
Stuck to each other - While the PDA couples are terrible, these are not far behind. They are the sort of couple that only talk to each other and are lost in each other. They don't really mix with everyone else or really enjoy the party, they just sit in a corner by themselves and canoodle, oblivious to everyone else.
The Jokers - This is the sort of couple that everyone loves. The real life of the party. A couple who's always laughing, joking and having fun. They both have a great sense of humor and make other people feel incredibly comfortable with them. They don't take themselves too seriously and are extremely easy to get along with.
The Departed - These are the type of couples that you don't realize immediately that they are in fact a couple. This is because they're never really around each other. The guy is a real guy's guy and hangs with the boys and the girl tends to be shy and hangs around with all the girls (the other girlfriends and wives). They're not the loud joking couple and certainly there's no PDA or hand holding, but they enjoy their time separately and are more comfortable with their same sex counterparts.
The Stag (with wife but pretends he's single) - There will always be one guy at a party cracking lewd or obscene jokes, knocking back drinks and yapping loudly. To some, he might seem like the fun guy everyone wants to gravitate towards, but to others, he might seem mildly obnoxious and at times even offensive. What's funnier - everyone assumes he's single but later realise his wife or girlfriend is close by but not taking part in his shenanigans. His behaviour is almost as if he's footloose and fancy-free with no significant other till you notice the girlfriend or wife smiling politely and mildly embarrassed.

Stockholm attack 2017
Last quote about Stockholm attack 2017
All quotes about Stockholm attack 2017
We know that he showed sympathies for extremist organisations, among them Islamic State. A wonderful husband, son, father, brother and close friend to many. The family requests absolute privacy at this incredibly difficult time to mourn his passing in peace.feedback
We will never surrender to terrorism. We will get through this together.feedback
We have taken the first step, criminalising travelling to and fighting with a terrorist organisation in another country or receiving terrorist training. The next step is criminalising participation that is not linked to killing - for example, being a chef for or supporting a terrorist organisation in another way other than being a part of killing or making bombs.feedback
Julia gives me hope that my children and their peers will grow up in a world where autism is normalized, rather than stigmatized.feedback
He will sit behind bars for the rest of his life.feedback
We will hunt down these murderers with the full power of Sweden's democracy. There will be no compromises.feedback
Sweden will never go back to the mass immigration we had in 2015. It's only through the EU that we can create a sustainable system for immigrants.feedback
We are all devastated by the untimely and tragic death of our talented, compassionate and caring son Chris. [He was ] a wonderful husband, son, father, brother and close friend to many. The family requests absolute privacy at this incredibly difficult time to mourn his passing in peace.feedback
He was a marginal character.feedback
He applied for a permanent residency permit in 2014. The Migration Agency rejected it in June 2016 and also decided that he was to be deported.feedback
There is nothing to indicate that we've got the wrong man. On the contrary, the suspicions have strengthened. A technical examination is ongoing, we can't go into what it is right now ... whether it's a bomb or a flammable device.feedback
We know he has been sympathetic to extremist organizations. The efforts to locate (these people) is both time-consuming and resource-intensive.feedback
What's happened is that a police patrol came across a guy in the Gronland area who acted in a suspicious manner. In relation to this individual the police found an object which we need to investigate.feedback
We would like to ask our customers for forgiveness for a poor decision. The background to it is that we were blinded by our eagerness to open quickly. We want to stand up for an open society and all of the values that we represent. It was a bad decision and bad decisions must be changed. Our intention was not to make money out of this difficult situation. I am truly unhappy that it is being perceived this way.feedback
He (the suspect) has applied for permit residence in Sweden. He has been denied that. And he's been wanted by the police though he's not been in custody of the migration office.feedback
We believe it's our duty to come here and show our support for the Swedish society. I know it's a difficult time, there is a lot going on within Swedish society and internationally. But today is not about that, it's about showing support for our neighbours and our beloved ones.feedback
I want to show I'm not afraid to go out. I usually never go to things like this, but this just felt so very important.feedback
We know that the suspect had expressed sympathy for extremist organizations, among them ISIS.feedback
Police have arrested a person and we have appointed a public defender.feedback
Equally there are many potential targets that are undefended. The key question raised by the Stockholm incident, as was raised recently in London, is can we or should we seek to secure all crowded locations in a city?feedback
We're focusing, of course, on how he has entered the country, where he has been and what kind of contacts he has had, what we can see from his friends and so on.feedback
A device that did not belong there was found in the truck.feedback
Do we somehow need a more repressive policy? I think it is very important now not to rush into something, to see how we can safeguard this open society and still be able to protect ourselves.feedback
It makes me frustrated. The efforts to locate (these people) is both time-consuming and resource-intensive.feedback
They put Stockholm under lockdown quite quickly. They shut down the subway. They found the perpetrator quickly and, obviously, had some reliable intelligence quite early on. Given the information that the Swedish Security Service has been providing in recent years, there are a couple of hundred people in Sweden who have the capability and the will to carry out these type of attacks. Prevention is the million-dollar question. You cannot monitor everyone all of the time.feedback
You need legislation that bites and is effective. And that may be solved by criminalizing associating with a terrorist organization.feedback
He applied for a permanent residency permit in 2014. The Migration Agency rejected it in June 2016 and also decided that he was to be expelled. In December 2016, he was informed by the Migration Agency that he had four weeks to leave the country. In February 2017, the case was handed over to the police to carry out the order, since the person had gone underground.feedback
We have a lot of people who are being taken to police offices throughout Stockholm for questioning. (We are doing) all the things that are necessary to make a good investigation. That means we are going to continue to check objects, people, vehicles and so on.feedback
We have unfortunately have a lost a compatriot in the Stockholm attack.feedback
We must get through this. Life must go on. We in Sweden want an open society.feedback
He was known… there was intelligence about him in the security police but…rather of a marginal character.feedback
Terrorists want us to be afraid, want us to change our behaviour, want us to not live our lives normally, but that is what we're going to do. We're also determined to continue to be an open society; a democratic society.feedback
The suspect didn't appear in our recent files but he earlier has been in our files.feedback
We stand in solidarity with the people of #Sweden. An attack on any of our Member States is an attack on us all.feedback
We still have a crime scene investigation on which we have a huge job to do.feedback
If it is a terrorist attack, and regardless of whether it was carried out by an organisation or a lone perpetrator, the aim of terrorism is to undermine democracy, to sow discord between people so that more people will begin to hate and distrust one another. But those kinds of acts will never succeed in Sweden. We know that our enemy is this kind of vile murderer – not one another. We will use all of Sweden's strength to track you down. Our message will always be clear: you cannot suppress us, you cannot control our lives, you will never win.feedback
Sweden has shown its best side during this attack. To help each other, support each other, and open our homes to other humans. We want to have an open society in Sweden. We shall continue with that. Everything indicates that this is a terrorist act.feedback
There is no way to really prevent this kind of thing.feedback
Sweden had been somewhat like an ostrich. People were reluctant to talk about it and admit there was a problem. Now it's not something far away, in Nice or in Berlin. It's come home. That will have consequences.feedback
I can never forget when we made eye contact. I was screaming at people why they didn't call the police and screaming at people who were taking photos with their phones. I didn't know what to do.feedback
I can not confirm [it is a bomb], but it is an object that is about 30 by 30 centimetres, that is to say that there is potential for damage in it, but it is of such a nature that we want the bomb squad to examine it.feedback
The police can reinforce the control at all border checkpoints, but I don't know anything about where and when they are going to do it.feedback
There is nothing that tells us that we have the wrong person. We have found a device in the vehicle that shouldn't be there. It could be a bomb or an incendiary object, we are still investigating it.feedback
I just could not believe this sort of thing would happen, not here in Stockholm and Sweden.feedback
The person in question has been arrested as the culprit ... in this case the driver.feedback
The feeling is that the price of the open society is that it's very tough for us to shelter against these kinds of initiatives taken by a single person. We are preparing, we understand the risks; but we are not willing to close down the openness that is the flare of freedom that we love so much.feedback
A massive truck starts driving ... and mangles everything and just drives over exactly everything. It was so terrible and there were bodies lying everywhere ... it was really terrifying.feedback
We have one person in custody, and we think he is the driver of the truck.feedback
My wife and I are struck by the low police presence here. I expected something like this because it's happening all over Europe.feedback
One of Europe's most vibrant and colorful cities appears to have been struck by those wishing it – and our very way of life – harm. An attack on any of our Member States is an attack on us all.feedback
We were running, we were crying – everyone was in shock. We rushed down the street, and I glanced to the right and saw the truck. People were lying on the ground. They were not moving. Some people felt that this was just a matter of time. Paris, Brussels, London and now Stockholm. I just had a feeling something like this would happen.feedback
If it's a terrorist act, the aim is to undermine democracy, but such acts will never succeed in Sweden. Our message is clear: You will never ever win. All indications are that it was a terrorist attack.feedback
One of them died... I don't know if the other one made it. The police were shocked. Everyone was shocked.feedback
I heard the noise, I heard the screams, I saw the people. Just outside the store there was a dead dog, the owner screaming. There was a lady lying with a severed foot. There was blood everywhere.feedback
One of Europe's most vibrant and colorful cities appears to have been struck by those wishing it -- and our very way of life -- harm. Attack on any of our [EU] member states is an attack on us all.feedback
Right now, we have no one arrested.feedback
I turned around and saw a big truck coming towards me. It swerved from side to side. It didn't look out of control, it was trying to hit people. It hit people, it was terrible. It hit a pram with a kid in it, demolished it. It took a long time for police to get here. I suppose, from their view, it was quick, but it felt like forever.feedback
A truck was driven into Ahlen's department store on Drottninggatan. There are many people injured. We can't confirm numbers of injuries or deaths at this press conference. The medical authorities will confirm that. We have no contact with the person or persons who drove the truck.feedback
Sweden has been attacked. Everything points to the fact that this is a terrorist attack. The Government is being kept up-to-date and is doing everything it can to assist the relevant authorities in their work. I encourage everyone to be vigilant and to pay attention to the information from the police.feedback
We have arrested one in whom we are particularly interested. We continue to investigate at full force.feedback
In our country, people know, and not by hearsay, about the atrocities of international terrorism. At this difficult time, Russians mourn together with the people of Sweden.feedback
Our thoughts are with the people in Stockholm, the injured, relatives, rescuers and police. We stand together against terror.feedback
We stood inside a shoe store, and we heard no noise, and so people start screaming. So I look out at the store, so I see a huge truck slams into the wall opposite. It got out of control. I saw at least two being run over. I ran as fast as I could from there.feedback
A vehicle has injured people on Drottningatan.feedback
Sweden has been attacked. This indicates that it is an act of terror. You look at what's happening last night in Sweden. Sweden. Who would believe this? Sweden. They took in large numbers. They're having problems like they never thought possible.feedback
People started running down the stairs when the fire alarm started. And when we came down to the bottom of the building all we could see was a lot of smoke and there was someone who helped us get out on the other side of the building.feedback
We follow developments, but as of now our thoughts go to the victims and their families.feedback
One of Europe's most vibrant and colourful cities appears to have been struck by those wishing it – and our very way of life – harm. We stand shoulder to shoulder in solidarity with the people of Sweden and the Swedish authorities can count on the European Commission to support them in any which way we can. An attack on any of our member states is an attack on us all.feedback
My heart is in Stockholm this afternoon. My thoughts are with the victims and their families and friends of today's terrible attack.feedback
It is one of our delivery trucks. In connection with a delivery to a restaurant called Caliente, someone jumped into the truck and drove it away, while the driver was unloading his delivery.feedback
Every terror attack is to be equally condemned. But it touches us deeply when such an attack takes place in our Nordic neighborhood.feedback

text: I interviewed with a department yesterday that only has 1 officer on duty at any given time. Any of you do this? Pros? Cons? The biggest problem I foresee would be a SHTF situation and I need help. County could be 15+ minutes out, etc. The dept. requires its officers to live in the city (only 1.3 square miles), so help from them would be just a call away. Thanks for the input.

Kukla's Korner Hockey
All Kirstie McLellan Day
by Paul on 05/15/12 at 06:07 PM ET
Comments (0)
from Shelley Youngblut of the Globe and Mail,
Back in the days of the Original Six, when an NHL star wanted his story told, he'd turn to Stan Fischler, the crusty New York sportswriter with more than 90 books to his credit. Today, however, it's a Calgary mother of five who's the top draft pick for co-writing hockey tell-alls.
How did you become the go-to gal for hockey autobiographies?
I don't think of myself as a hockey writer. I write people stories, set in the world of hockey. It's a world that has not traditionally been open to women, and peeking behind the curtains is a real thrill.
The perception that the NHL gives out is that we're dealing with a bunch of professional athletes who are young gentlemen, choirboys. And it's true – they are exceptional athletes. But the NHL is not full of choirboys. These are guys who live on the edge. They've got money, they're got fame, they've got exceptional ability and they live as hard as they play on the ice. Which is not to say they don't have strong beliefs or weren't faithful to their families, but the boys on the bus had a hell of a good time. And that's a time I love to hear about.

2016 BruntingthorpeTeamInfo
Updated: 06/01/2017
Updated: 06/01/2017
Last Updated January 20, 2017 at 10:49 am
Event information
Bruntingthorpe returns for 2017 for round two, with a more traditional 6-hour format ending at 6pm to give more time for teams wishing to go home directly after the race to do so. Bruntingthorpe remains the twistiest track used by the BPCC for several years and as such will be something 'new' for some teams, where handling, car control, traffic management and driver skill must come to the fore while aerodynamics and outright top speed take a back seat. Uniquely amongst BPCC events there is also a properly segregated pit lane, with Armco and everything! Racing will start at 12 noon and the chequered flag will drop at 6pm.
Directions from the Security Hut
Once past the security hut at the entrance, turn right (north west) and drive along past the small hangars on your right, then turn left onto the main taxiway parallel to the runway. Drive down the taxiway, past the various hard standing dispersal areas with all the aircraft, and keeping to the far left side, to the left of the cones / plastic barriers to avoid straying onto the motor vehicle test area which is often home to high speed motor vehicles. Eventually you will arrive at the hard-standing area on the left that is the car park / pit area.

11 Movie Sequels That Came Out More Than 10 Years After The Original
With so many sequels over the last couple of years, it's easy to forget that some follow-ups take a long time to get made.
Take, for example, "Dumb and Dumber To." The film, whose trailer was just released, took 20 years to get Jim Carrey and Jeff Daniels to reprise their roles.
Other series like "Toy Story" and "Terminator" have also had belated installments, and while some have been successful, just as many have been flops.

Compliments galore from this bracelet. I have had a lot of fun wearing it. I wish I had bought the one with the horse on it that favored it. I would recommend this piece of jewelry for anyone. Very unique piece. I bought the earrings that have the same colors in them. Love them both.

It was beneath an overcast post-dawn sky that this epic ride was started. OK, maybe most people wouldn't consider it an Epic Ride. Alright, I wouldn't even have considered this an epic ride a few years ago, but hey, I just doubled my 2009 bike mileage in a single morning. Pretty embarrassing to admit that my total logged bike miles for 2009 was 4.
It did feel good to get out for a bit over 30 min this morning and I hope to get more rides real soon.
