User Notes
Next Scheduled Data Update on: See Update Schedule
November 2014
MSA changes: While OMB updates MSA's every 10 years after the National Census, the presentation in RECON may reflect economic data with a combination of old (prior Census) and new (current Census) localities (MSA, Micropolitan SA) to the extent that certain economic data is available for the new localities, but other economic data is not collected yet. As new locality time series for a given economic concept become available, RECON will present the new and no longer provide the economic data for the old locality. On any given MSA or locality menu page in RECON, you will see a combination of hyperlinked economic concepts and grayed-out economic concepts if certain data is not available yet for that locality.
RECON Update Policy: RECON is updated quarterly as new quarterly data become available during the quarter for a given economic concept time series. Example: Employment data usually arrives early in the quarter and is updated earlier than Personal Income data which arrives at the end of the quarter. RECON users can expect all RECON economic concept updates to be completed by (or shortly after) the end of a given calendar quarter.
Question Marks : Your questions about the nature, description, granularity, update frequency, and the source of RECON data can be answered by clicking on the yellow question mark to the right of each economic concept menu item.
Dropped Data Series: If data no longer is available for a particular locality level for a given economic time series, RECON will continue to show the graphs, for a period of time, to provide RECON users with prior existing comparative data. Most RECON graphs show several levels of granularity (US, State, MSA, County). Also, even though a particular level of granularity reporting stops, the other levels of data may continue to be collected. So, RECON will retain the prior reported data even though no new data is collected at a particular level.
Updated Date: RECON displays a footnote on each graph or table that indicates the date of the source data used. RECON is updated once a quarter for each economic concept in the RECON menu, unless a particular principal data source makes a significant change in the data.
We can only improve RECON if we know what you need/like/dislike.

This Veranda Teak Armchair incorporates a gentle curve in the lumbar and seating panels that have become known as "The Wave". The additional gentle Wave curve in the seat panel allows for an unexpected level of comfort for a teak wood chair with no cushion. Nevertheless, optional sunbrella cushions are available in a range of colors below along with optional teak tiles for that nice deck you always wanted! Westminster's Sunbrella Cushion Quality is second to none.
The first thing that one notices upon sitting into the Veranda Teak Armchair is the size of the chair around you, its wide stance gives you ample room. This chair is a staple point in our best selling Veranda Teak Dining Set and comes with a Lifetime Warranty! To view all sets containing this chair, please click on:
Made of SVLK certified plantation teak wood that is able to withstand the rigors of adverse climates, however, because of Westminster's well known micro-smooth finish, many want to use Westminster Teak Furniture indoors as well. Optional Teak Finishes are available.

As you browse through our pages and speak with our knowledgeable customer representatives, you will find there are quite a few reasons why many have returned and recommended others to shop with us over the past 12 years. Here are some that we often hear why many of our customers think we stand out:
We just wanted to let you know we received our teak furniture!! We are delighted with each piece, and are particularly impressed by the superb workmanship.
Little things like the locking mechanism on the folding chairs that keep them in place and how flush the joints fit together reminded me that I made the right choice w/ Westminster. As newbie internet shoppers we are relieved that the statements made on your website are true to their word.

The Boker Beer Barrel Whittler Knife, Wood Handle is The oldest evidence that beer was brewed in Germany comes from around 800 B.C. By the second century, beer was being traded commercially in Germany. In 1516, Duke Wilhelm IV of Bavaria enacted the Reinheitsgebot, or the "Purity Law," which regulated the brewing of beer in Germany. The town of Solingen, known as the cutlery center of Germany, also enacted strict laws for the manufacture of knives and shears. While Boker is not quite as "aged" as the brewing industry, the same quality standards apply. To commemorate this common interest, Boker is introducing a series of traditional pocketknives with handles made from genuine German ale/beer barrels, handcrafted in the Solingen factory. Each of these Knives from Boker will include solid nickel silver bolsters, brass liners, carbon steel lades and the resurrected old Tree Brand blade etching. The Boker Whittler Beer Barrel Knife is a great item for the collector or everyday user. 3" closed.

Level 25 guild, been inactive for over a year now. We had a mass quitting spree after t11 and never quite recovered. Dark Phoenix and Armadillo Pup are the only notable rewards available outside of perks. Looking to get a pretty decent sum of gold for it, send me an in-game mail or post here with any offers.
!@#$%^-s.. I was in that guild. Should have offered it to guildies first. The reason it was dead is because you kicked everyone who was inactive for a month. Bad idea between Xps..
The thing I hate about power monger GMs is that they have the ability to destroy your guild. My alliance guild changed servers out from under me and now my horde guild got rap ed and pillaged by the GM.
Edited by Elohymn on 7/15/2012 8:41 PM PDT
Thunderhulk was kind enough to give me ownership of the guild. Any old TeamAwsome peeps who want back in for their heirlooms and such, just let me know. It may take some work getting activity back up, but when Pandara comes back out it should be easy enough to get a new core group to play. You alts are also welcome here now and you don't need to be active.
98 Draenei Death Knight
Someday I will hunt down Thunderhulk for a little camping revenge. I doubt I could win a one on one fight, but perhaps I could persuade friends to get into the action with me. It's just hard to hunt someone down now that you never really need to leave the city.
Ok, I'll put up one post to explain my choice to sell the guild. Firstly, there has been NO raiding in TeamAwesome since April 2011. NONE. The last thing we did was down heroic Halfus, then our entire core raid team (all IRL friends of mine) save myself quit WoW entirely. The guild never touched a boss in FL or DS, not even raid finder, and there was no organized PvP being pushed by the guild. At one point last summer I invited enough people to finish getting us to 25; that was the last notable event in this guild. It was not just because the expansion is coming out soon. Also, Elohymn, I have no clue who you are, and Lousipher, I have no clue who you are, so whatever "revenge" you think you deserve is in your own head.
No, it is not for sale.
Threats of violence. We take these seriously and will alert the proper authorities.
Posts containing personal information about other players. This includes physical addresses, e-mail addresses, phone numbers, and inappropriate photos and/or videos.
Harassing or discriminatory language. This will not be tolerated.

1999 Audi A6 4 Dr 2.8 quattro AWD Sedan Review
Great transportation car with luxury appointments, great handling and the all-weather go provided by All Wheel Drive.
Font suspension tends to go through control arms more often than it should - seems every year one or another needs to be replaced... but that could just be because in 200,000 miles (you read that right) the front struts are still original.
Reliable, Easy To Drive, Safe Luxury Car. — I bought my 1999 Audi A6 Quattro in 2004 with 90,000+ miles on it. Over the last ten years I've put over 100,000 miles on it and it's still running strong. If you can find one now (2014) with under 125,000 miles on it, you'll probably be able to pick it up for close pocket change - and with some care and maintenance, be able to drive it for several years.

fuel economy
seat comfort on long journeys

It's old-ish
Class — Works like a charm and doesn't break. Looks classy and is reliable. Not to mention German made. It's an audi first of all, and you can't really ask for more as a first car. It's awesome. Gets me from one place to another in class.
Primary Use: Sport/fun (spirited driving, track racing, off-roading, etc.)

Gas Mileage/Power
Audi — Great daily driver. A little hard on gas but very reliable and safe. Quattro gets me to work in any weather. I was a Honda man for years but purchased a Volkswagen Passat (essentially an Audi) some years back and was turned onto audi. If you are mechanically inclined at all don't be afraid of an older audi with some miles on it.

Fuel consumption
Audi A6 Quattro Sedan — One of my dream cars. Drives like crazy. Nice acceleration and awsome drive and control. With a good appearance and a solid build quality it is worth every single penny paid for it. A bit high on fuel consumption, but for the drive, comfort, power, looks and attraction it gets, to hell with the fuel efficiency

Can this use a directory full of images to create slideshow? or do you need to hardcode the image path's
You need to provide regular
<img /> elements in the html.
Hi. I have a pre sale question? Can this slider run completely without any theme? just run with html using style.css ect?
Do you mean to say that you don't want the styling of the slider that is shown in the demos? The slider package comes with only the bare minimum css code required to make the slider work correctly. On top of that you can apply your styling for the slider.
Just curious if each slide can link to a page on the website that I put it on, and how to go about it.
Thanks for your interest!
You can indeed make each slide act as a link to an external page. The link url's are provided in the slider html, the details of which you can find in the supplied documentation.
Is it possible to use this slide with limited knowledge of java script? Would I be able to just put my pictures in the demo file, make sure that all the css and javascript files are linked in the .htm file and see it work as long as the images are the same size as what you have in the demo? Or will I need to know javascript? Or does each demo file work as advertised on this demo?
You will need basic knowledge of javascipt, html and css in order to use the slider. You can certainly use the demo files' source code to help yourself out, but don't blindly use the entire demo code since that includes some extra files and code for demo purposes.
Hi and thanks for this nice slider. I show several sliders on a page; I would like to control the 'autoPlay' but when I turn it on "false' , it's impossible to make slider play manually.. I try to find a way to do what I'm waiting for but no issue seem to exist.
Is it possible to have your help for ? Thanks
I 'auto-find' my solution. Thanks
Good to know that your problem got sorted out.
Our one of slide is Google calendar page.
Can we insert Google calendar in the slideshow?
Can we set the preview slide image on bottom of the page?
The slider allows you to have custom html content for each slide. So if you can insert the necessary html for your calendar then it should work.

Winnipeg Free Press - ONLINE EDITION
Pat Martin settles defamation suit
OTTAWA – Manitoba NDP MP Pat Martin has settled a defamation suit against him but is now fending off accusations a legal defence fund he set up may contravene Parliamentary ethics rules.
Martin was sued by Edmonton telemarketing company Racknine, for comments Martin made about Racknine's involvement in the robocall scandal of the 2011 election.
Martin apologized publicly for the comments, which linked Racknine to the scheme to confuse voters about the location of their polling stations, although Elections Canada has always said the company and its president were not aware of the content of the calls.
Martin and Racknine settled the lawsuit last week. Martin said he was sort of relieved but had also been tempted to "see it out to its conclusion."
However the cost of fighting the suit as well as paying whatever the settlement is – the details cannot be disclosed – are high and Martin last June launched a trust fund to try and raise money to pay the legal bills.
Now Erin O'Toole, the newly elected MP in Durham, Ont., is asking the ethics commissioner to investigate whether this fund is a conflict of interest.
"I have asked for certain fundraising efforts to be examined to ensure the rules to keep corporate and union money out of politics are not being circumvented and the ethics rules are being respected," O'Toole said in his letter to the commissioner.
Among his concerns are reports the fund received a $10,000 donation from a union, as well as the fact the way the fund is being promoted he says mimics political fundraising.
The Pat Martin Legal Defence Fund was established as a trust fund, and Martin said the whole thing was cleared with Elections Canada, Revenue Canada and the ethics commissioner.
"We had lengthy consultations and opinions from the ethics commissioner and it was with her cooperation and direction the trust fund was formed," said Martin.
The fund is not eligible for tax receipts, and all donations will be publicly disclosed through the ethics commissioner, said Martin. He said the main concern she had was whether donations would influence his vote at any time, and she warned him if legislation comes up which directly affects a donor, he may have to recuse himself from the vote.
Martin said he isn't involved in the day to day operations of the fund, but he believes it has raised around $90,000 at this point.
"We're nowhere near what we need," he said. "It's a staggering amount of money but we're not allowed to divulge that."
Martin said he's not surprised the Conservatives are going this route however.
"I don't know why he's doing this but he's within his rights," said Martin. "I did fully expect it but I didn't expect it to come from a guy who hasn't unpacked his bags yet."
The defamation suit has somewhat subdued the normally outspoken Martin and he hasn't been allowed to comment at all on any matters related to the robocalls scandal since the suit was filed.

Buddy Rich? Yeah, but he did have some competition....
What we have here is... failure- to communicate.
North Korea has been working feverishly on constructing its first-ever ski resort, a lavish project that young leader Kim Jong Un personally set as a top national priority. But it has hit a major snag: It can't get ski lifts because of sanctions.
Unlike nuclear weapons or medium-range missiles, North Korea doesn't have the technology to make its own ski lifts. But the countries that do make them all tend to be in the West, where new sanctions imposed in March make it illegal to sell luxury goods to the Hermit Kingdom.
Finally, North Korea tried to import from a Swiss company, offering $7.7 million for the lifts. (...) When the Swiss government blocked the deal, Pyongyang had had enough. It issued a furious response via official state outlet KCNA, declaring, 'This is an intolerable mockery of the social system and the people of the DPRK and a serious human rights abuse that politicizes sports and discriminates against the Koreans.'

"Couldn't get past the narrator..."
Maybe it's my relative inexperience with audiobooks, but the varying voices in the narration felt corny and grating. I listened to all of fifteen minutes before I had to stop. I found it so distracting that I really can't vouch for the story itself at all - I'm merely assigning a best guess based on my knowledge of the author and appreciation of the genre. Caveat emptor.

A vehicle levitation and guidance system (20) is provided which levitates a vehicle (22) over a roadbed (28) through the use of thin permanently magnetized strips (32, 34) located in the vehicle and the roadbed. The strips are oriented with like magnetic poles adjacent to generate a repelling force. The vehicle is guided along the roadbed by sliding engagement of the walls (37) of a channel (30) in the roadbed with pins (36) descending from the vehicle. The vehicle is propelled along the roadbed by contact with a set of rotating wheels (42, 42').
1. In combination with a vehicle and a roadbed having a surface, a system for facilitating movement of said vehicle along said roadbed surface, the system comprising:
a first thin magnetic strip mounted on said vehicle, said first strip permanently magnetized parallel to its thin dimension;
a second thin magnetic strip disposed beneath said roadbed surface and extending therealong, said second strip permanently magnetized parallel to its thin dimension;
said vehicle being disposed on said roadbed surface with said first and second strips extending substantially parallel to and in alignment with one another, said first and second strips being oriented with like magnetic poles adjacent to thereby levitate said vehicle above said roadbed surface;
propulsion means for propelling said vehicle;
guidance means for guiding said vehicle along said roadbed surface, said guidance means including first and second spaced walls extending from said surface into said roadbed to form a longitudinal channel aligned between said first and second strips; and
a plurality of pins descending from said vehicle to engage said walls for guidance therealong to maintain said vehicle over said roadbed surface in a visually observable vertically spaced relationship.
2. A system as defined in claim 1 wherein said pins are headless.
3. A system as defined in claim 2 wherein said pins are cylindrical.
4. A system as defined in claim 1 wherein said first magnetic strip is mounted along the bottom surface of said vehicle.
5. A system as defined in claim 1 wherein said first and second strip each comprise a flexible plastic.
6. A system as defined in claim 1 wherein said channel is substantially centered relative to said roadbed.
7. A system as defined in claim 1 wherein said propelling means comprises a wheel disposed adjacent to said roadbed to rotatably contact said vehicle for propulsion thereof.
8. A system as defined in claim 1 wherein said propelling means comprises a spring disposed adjacent said roadbed to urge said vehicle along said roadbed.
9. A system as defined in claim 1 wherein said propelling means comprises:
a wheel rotatably disposed within said vehicle to contact said roadbed; and
a motor disposed in said vehicle to rotate said wheel.
10. A system as defined in claim 1 wherein said propelling means comprises:
a current carrying coil disposed within said vehicle; and
a magnetic field disposed along said roadbed for magnetic communication with said coil thus inducing a force therein.
The present invention pertains to vehicles and more particularly, to levitation and guidance systems particularly suited for use with small scale models of vehicles such as trains, cars, etc.
The prior art is replete with various types of vehicle levitation and guidance systems. Although such systems may find application in specific environments, they are generally too complex and expensive for use in small scale model systems primarily used for entertainment.
The present invention is directed to a simple and inexpensive system for levitating a vehicle over a roadbed and guiding the vehicle along the roadbed.
Systems in accordance with the invention are characterized by the disposition, in both the vehicle and roadbed, of thin magnetic strip material permanently magnetized parallel to its thin dimension. The respective vehicle and roadbed strips are oriented to repel one another thus levitating the vehicle over the roadbed.
In a preferred embodiment of the invention, a thin flexible permanent magnetic strip is attached to the bottom of a vehicle. A similar magnetic strip is mounted within the roadbed parallel to the vehicle magnetic strip. The magnetic strips are permanently magnetized parallel to their thin dimension. and oriented with each other to have like magnetic poles adjacent thereby creating a force which levitates the vehicle above the roadbed. One or more pins descends from the vehicle and extends into a longitudinal channel in the roadbed for guidance of the vehicle. Propulsion means, e.g. a rotating wheel arranged adjacent to the roadbed to contact the vehicle sides, imparts a propelling force to the vehicle.
The propelling force may be supplied by alternative mechanisms such as a resilient spring arranged adjacent to the roadbed, a motor driven wheel disposed in the vehicle to contact the roadbed, or a current carrying coil disposed in the vehicle to interact with a magnetic field adjacent the roadbed.
Although embodiments of the invention are particularly suited for use in small scale models used for entertainment, e.g. model train sets, the invention may also find advantageous application in full scale systems.
The novel features of the invention are set forth with particularity in the appended claims. The invention will be best understood from the following description when read in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.
FIG. 1 is a perspective view of a preferred embodiment, in accordance with the present invention, of system for levitating and guiding a vehicle along a roadbed;
FIG. 2 is an elevation view of the system of FIG. 1;
FIG. 3 is a sectional view along the line 3--3 of FIG. 2;
FIG. 4 is an enlarged view of the magnetic strips of FIG. 3;
FIG. 5 is a plan view of the propulsion apparatus of the system of FIG. 1;
FIG. 6 is an elevation view of the apparatus of FIG. 5;
FIG. 7 is a plan view of the system of FIG. 1;
FIG. 8 is an enlarged view of the area enclosed by the line 8 of FIG. 2;
FIG. 9 is an exploded view of the elements in FIG. 8;
FIG. 10 is an exploded view of one of the elements of FIG. 9;
FIG. 11 is a view along the line 11--11 of FIG. 7;
FIG. 12 is a plan view of another preferred embodiment of a propulsion apparatus in accordance with the present invention;
FIG. 13 is an elevation view of another preferred embodiment of a propulsion apparatus in accordance with the present invention; and
FIG. 14 is an elevation view of another preferred embodiment of a propulsion apparatus in accordance with the present invention.
FIG. 1 is a perspective view of a preferred embodiment of the present invention incorporating a system 20 for levitating an exemplary vehicle 22, comprised of a locomotive 24 and cars 26, over a roadbed 28 and for guiding the vehicle along a longitudinal channel 30 in the roadbed.
A thin flexible permanent magnetic strip 32 is bonded to the bottom surface of each element (locomotive 24, cars 26) of the vehicle 22. A similar strip 34 is embedded in the roadbed 28 and forms the floor 35 of the channel 30. The strips 32, 34 are arranged with like magnetic poles adjacent thereby generating a repelling force therebetween. This repelling force causes the strip 32 and attached vehicle 22 to be levitated above the strip 34 and the roadbed 28.
Cylindrical pins 36 descend from the vehicle 22 to engage walls 37, defined by the channel 30, for guidance of the vehicle 22 therealong. Thus, movement of the vehicle 22 along the roadbed 28 is facilitated since the only restrictive force is the friction between the pins 36 and the channel walls 37.
The thin magnetic strips 32, 34 are preferably formed of flexible magnetic material, e.g. barium ferrite powder combined with thermoplastic binders, of the type commercially available from Magnetic Specialty, Inc. of Marietta, Ohio.
FIG. 2 is an elevation view of the system 20 illustrating that a pair of the pins 36 are disposed on each element (locomotive 24 and cars 26) of the vehicle 22. The roadbed 28 is constructed in sections which meet along partition lines 38 as shown in the area within the line 8. A portion of the roadbed 28 is broken away to show the strip 34.
FIG. 3 is a view along the plane 3--3 of FIG. 2 showing the locomotive 24 configured with a hollow upper interior portion to create a low center of gravity 39 which is represented by a bold cross within a circle. The cars 26 are similarly configured. The low center of gravity enhances the stability of the levitated vehicle 22. The width of the channel 30 is chosen to closely receive the pins 36 for smooth guidance of the vehicle 22 therealong and yet prevent binding of the pins 36 which would restrict free movement of the vehicle 22.
As shown in FIGS. 1 and 3, the preferred system embodiment 20 is configured with the pins 36 and channel 30 centered relative to the vehicle 22 and roadbed 28. Other embodiments wherein the channel 30 is off-center or wherein more than one channel is employed may be used without departing from the spirit of the invention.
FIG. 4 is an enlarged view of the preferred magnetic strips 32, 34 of FIG. 3 illustrating the magnetic dipoles 40 arranged parallel with the thin dimension 41 of the strips and with the strips arranged with like poles adjacent to create the repelling force. FIG. 4 shows north magnetic poles of the strips 32, 34 adjacent but the adjacent like poles, of course, could also be the south magnetic poles.
FIG. 5 is a plan view and FIG. 6 an elevation view of the preferred propulsion apparatus used in the system 20 of FIG. 1. FIGS. 5 and 6 illustrate a pair of wheels 42, 42' which rotate on axles 43, 43' in directions indicated by the arrows 44, 44' to contact the sides of the vehicle 22 as it passes over the roadbed 28. The wheels 42, 42' are of a soft foam-like material which imparts a propelling force to the vehicle 22 as it passes by.
FIG. 7 is a plan view of the system 20 of FIG. 1 illustrating a typical layout configuration of the roadbed 28, the vehicle 22 and the propulsion apparatus of FIGS. 5 and 6 with its wheels 42, 42'. The roadbed 28 is comprised of sections 45 and may include turns 46 and vertical loops 48.
FIG. 8 is an enlarged view of the area within the line 8 of FIG. 2 illustrating two abutted sections 45', 45" of the roadbed 28 which meet at a transverse partition line 38. FIG. 9 is a view, exploded about the partition line 38, of the same sections 45', 45" showing that the section 45' ends with a pair of pegs 49, 49' that are closely received in a pair of holes 50, 50' in the adjacent end of the section 45". When the sections 45', 45" are pressed together, as in FIG. 8, the ends 51, 51' of the magnetic strips abut over their entire end surface.
FIG. 10 is a view of a roadbed section 45 (e.g. the sections 45', 45" of FIG. 9) exploded about its longitudinal axis, showing that a section 45 may be comprised of two parts 45a, 45b which are joined, around the magnetic strip 34, with the aid of pegs 52 which engage holes 54. FIG. 11 is a view along the plane 11--11 of FIG. 7 illustrating similar construction of a section 45 along a turn (46 in FIG. 7) of the system 20. Parts 45c and 45d are joined with the aid of pegs 52 in a manner similar to that described in FIGS. 8, 9 relative to the pegs 49, 49'. The depth, indicated by the arrow 55, of the channel 30 may be increased on turns of the roadbed (28 in FIG. 7) to maintain engagement of the pins (36 in FIG. 3) with the channel walls 37.
Successful operation of the system 20 illustrated in FIGS. 1 through 11 is enhanced by control of several parameters. These parameters, which can be understood by reference particularly to FIGS. 2, 3 and 11, include transverse alignment of the magnetic strip in the roadbed (34 and 28 in FIG. 3), transverse alignment of the channel (30 in FIG. 3) with the roadbed, transverse alignment of the pins in the vehicle (36 and 22 in FIG. 3), longitudinal position of the pins on each element (24, 26 in FIG. 2) of the vehicle, length of the pins relative to the depth (55 in FIG. 11) of the channel, coefficient of friction between the pins and the channel, location of the vehicle center of gravity (39 in FIG. 3), weight of the vehicle, and contact between magnetic strip ends (51, 51' in FIG. 9) in adjacent roadbed sections.
For such control it is desirable to transversly align the magnetic strips 32, 34, the pins 36, the channel 30 and the vehicle center of gravity 39. The longitudinal position of the pins 36 on each element 24, 26 is a compromise between placing them farther apart to optimize performance in the vertical loop 48 and moving the front pin farther back to obtain a smoother ride along the roadbed 28.
The pins 36 should have a length below the vehicle 20 equal to or slightly less than the channel depth 55. The channel depth 55, as mentioned above, may, depending on factors such as the degree of bank and vehicle speed, be increased slightly in turns 46 of the roadbed 28. The channel 30 should be maintained perpendicular to the roadbed surface in the turns 46. The coefficient of friction between the pins 36 and the channel 30 should be minimized to reduce drag. The vehicle center of gravity 39 should be located low in the vehicle 22. The weight of the vehicle 22 may be adjusted experimentally in relation to the pin length and the magnetic field strength of the magnetic strips 32, 34. It is desirable to establish good contact between the end surfaces 50, 50' of the magnetic strip 34 in adjoining roadbed sections 45 to assure continuity of the repelling magnetic field between strips 32 and 34.
FIGS. 12, 13 and 14 illustrate other preferred propulsion embodiments in accordance with the invention. FIG. 12 shows a compressed spring 58 to urge the vehicle 22 along the roadbed 28. FIG. 13 shows a motor driven wheel 60, in the locomotive 24, which contacts the roadbed 28 for propelling the vehicle thereby. FIG. 14 illustrates a current carrying coil 62, in the locomotive 24, in magnetic communication with a magnetic field, set up by a coil 64 in the roadbed 28, which induces a driving force in the coil 62. The magnetic field established by the coil 64 could equivalently be established by a permanent magnet.
From the foregoing it should be now be recognized that a levitation and guidance system has been disclosed herein utilizing thin permanently magnetized strips for levitating a vehicle above a roadbed and pins for guiding the vehicle along a channel of the roadbed. Although the present invention has been described with reference to preferred embodiments, numerous modifications and rearrangements can be made with the equivalent result still embraced within the scope of the invention.

Rural women recognised with inaugural scholarships
Printer-friendly versionPDF version
The Australian Institute of Company Directors today joined with the Minister assisting the Prime Minister for Women, Michaelia Cash, to announce the recipients of the inaugural board diversity scholarships for women in rural and remote areas.
Jointly funded by Company Directors and the Australian Government, the awards are part of the broader Board Diversity Scholarship program that allows high performing women across Australia to complete Company Directors' highly-regarded educational courses. Recipients will also receive a free 12 month membership of Company Directors and a $2000 contribution towards travel expenses.
More than 300 women from rural and remote areas in all states and territories applied for the program, with the 30 recipients selected based on their experience and leadership potential by a committee of representatives from Company Directors and the Australian Government's Office for Women.
"The calibre of applicants shows the depth of skill that exists outside our major metropolitan areas. The recipients – who reside in areas from Alice Springs to Mt Isa, Broome and Bourke – all have a strong commitment to their communities and a desire to apply the highest standard of governance to local organisations," said John Colvin, Chief Executive and Managing Director, of Company Directors.
The rural and remote scholarships were the first of 140 to be awarded in this round of the Board Diversity Scholarship program. Applications for another 70 scholarships for women who are ready to transition from their executive career to a board career will open on September 10. The final 40 scholarships will be awarded to females in male-dominated sectors, with applications due to open in February 2015.
The scholarship program is one of several initiatives by Company Directors to support board diversity. Other initiatives include its Chairmen's Mentoring Program, a Public Sector Mentoring Program, its Director Pipeline Project and the Victorian Women's Governance Scholarship program.
Real time statistics compiled by Company Directors show that in recent years the number of women on our top boards has grown from around 8 per cent in 2008 to 18.2 per cent at July 31 this year.
"We are confident that our initiatives will further lift female representation on boards across all organisations – from listed companies to private companies, charities and the not-for-profit sector," Mr Colvin said.News Source : Rural women recognised with inaugural scholarships

I organised a Segway tour with Rex Tours online. 79 Euros each for 3.5 hours. Not too bad I thought. Fronted up at their shop at 0915 hrs which was just around the corner from our apartment (very handy indeed as it can be quite a chore getting the gang to ship out early).

so who doesn't enjoy gettin a kick out of these guys like Johnny Knox being as dumb as they can get on jackass or scarred? These are the best kind of movies if you want a good laugh and one of my buddies actually showed us this new dvd called "Dick: the devil dared me to" which is about this other stunt man who tries to defeat this curse that kills. The plot is something else, but the acts and this guy is so hilarious. Check out the trailer and see what you guys think.
I'll probably watch it when it comes to HBO. Looks funny though.

Korean Craft: Make a Traditional Sam Taeguk Fan
By Stephanie Meade
multicultural-children's-crafts/ Korean-Children's-Day
The Sam Taeguk symbol is found on traditional Korean fans. It is a variation of the Taeguk symbol found on the Korean national flag. The Taeguk is comprised of two colors, red and blue. The red represents heaven and the blue represents earth. The symbol represents harmony similar to a yin yang symbol. The Sam Taeguk includes yellow to represent humanity. The Sam Taegeuk also appeared in the official logo of the 1988 Summer Olympics.

Finally, after installing hand rails in my fathers house, I got some time today to work on my build. Cut all the pull-pull control horns and built slots in the ailerons to receive them after covering goes on. Beveled both edges at the bottoms of the aileron hinge points as I did not have sufficient meat to take from one side. Worked out good though as the lower edge is flush in the down position as apposed to one edge being higher or lower depending on which side you bevel. I do realize the original Sopwith planes had the hinges on the bottom but for better flight characteristics mine will be on top...
Not sure if I am going to stick with the CA hinges or use the Robart hinges that I had originally bought for the project.

It is important that we never let our wives think we care more about our planes than we do about them! My wife is in China, and I hope to retire and move there next year. Boy is she in for a surprise when she sees what the spare bedroom is about to become!

Literally, is there a need for a piano wire between the elevators if you are using pull-pull?
|Dec 18, 2012, 04:09 PM
Pull-pull to both sides, in the same loop? Then I suppose not. But if there are two loops, I'd think any difference in the geometry or the stretch of the lines will show up as "differential ailerons"
|Dec 18, 2012, 05:04 PM
You bring up a good point David. My own further thought would be, why take any risk of having a control mishap with such a beautiful airplane? A small insurance factor of having both elevators linked together might be worth the peace of mind.
|Dec 18, 2012, 05:10 PM
|Dec 18, 2012, 07:46 PM
Ok, I came to a compromise. I used a 1/8" dowel as I have done on several of my builds including my Ace Allstar and Peter Rake SPAD XIII. I got the tail feathers hinged and all is just rested together until covered. next I will get those Da#@ lower aileron cables in then the exits in the fuse. I put the dash I printed last night in. I am not sure if I am going to stick with this one or a better image I found tonight. I will put some kind of coming around the cockpit also. Fuselage definitely needs more stain...
I just added the dash pics....
|Dec 19, 2012, 08:36 PM
I got the guide tubes installed. I will trim closer after glue cures a little more. The lower elevator exits are not in the stock position due to the fact that I put the control horns closer inboard than they should have been, but know body will know but me....
Need to work on the stain and poly then I can start some covering.
|Dec 20, 2012, 11:45 PM
This build is in a class of its own. Your craftsmanship inspires me to try harder. I have never tried a pull pull set-up. I am faced with 18 inch long pushrods for my tail feathers at present. If I could do a pull pull, I could definitely save some tail weight. hmmmm......
|Dec 21, 2012, 06:49 PM
|Dec 21, 2012, 07:02 PM
Update. Got some poly on the stained areas today. Started covering everything. The tan I got for the bottom is a little darker than I would like it to be. I thought I would try Coverite flats to see how I liked them. Their colors are different from what I am used to with my favored brand, Monocote. Also, if you notice in the pic of the under side of the tail, was this first piece of covering I put on and I guess the iron was a little too hot and discolored the covering. It gives it the "not brand new" Camel look. I also installed the belly pan today. Made from .3mm birch covered with alum tape, held on by LG bolts. Next I will run some test wires thru the main wings guides to assure they will go through after covering goes on...
|Dec 22, 2012, 09:12 AM
The covering looks flawless! 4 ailerons pull-pull on a single servo,.... holy smokes! This build is full of surprises!

Fox now own the rights to classic movie musical "Guys & Dolls". Naturally, the first thing they do is ask "where's the dude that played Robin in Dark Knight Rises, and the guy who takes his shirt-off a lot from that 21 Jump Street movie, right now!?"
