Paddles for propelling small boats or vessels have been known for many years. Such devices have consisted of a flattened blade portion, an elongated shaft, usually integral with the blade, and a grip (hereinafter a "palm grip") on the end of the shaft opposite the blade. The paddle is usually made of some suitably rigid material such as wood, aluminum, plastic or the like. Light weight and strength to resist the forces imposed upon it are important considerations in the manufacture of paddles.
In using a paddle, it is grasped with one hand on the shaft and the other hand upon the palm grip. The paddle is dipped into the water along side of the boat and at a point in front of the user. The paddle is then pulled toward the user by the shaft portion while pressure in the opposite direction is applied to the palm grip. As the paddle is thus moved through the water, an opposite force acting through the body of the user is applied to the boat causing it to move forward through the water. It is also necessary to guide the path of the paddle as it is being pulled in order to keep the boat on course, since paddling on one side of the boat will cause it to turn. A preferred stroke in paddling to accomplish this correction is known as "J" ing or a "J" stroke.
As even experienced paddlers will recall, prolonged paddling with conventional paddles is not only very tiring, but likely to cause blistering of the skin, particularly in the area between the thumb and forefinger. One of the principal reasons for paddling discomfort is the fact that almost all of the force applied to the paddle shaft is transmitted by only two fingers (the fore and index fingers) and in an awkward and loose gripping position. In addition, the paddle has to be given a rotating motion about its longitudinal axis and therefore across the skin of the hand. The result is a gradual loss of efficiency of the paddling.
Accordingly, it is an object of the present invention to provide a handle for attachment to a paddle shaft which will overcome the shortcomings of the conventional paddle.
Another object of the present invention is to provide a handle for a paddle which will improve the performance of both the novice and expert paddler.
A further object of the present invention is to provide a handle for a paddle which does not substantially increase the weight of the paddle, is interchangeable with a wide variety of paddles and is comfortable to use from the standpoint of human engineering.
A handle made in accordance with the present invention comprises an upper arm portion, a lower arm portion, both adopted for attachment to the shaft of a paddle and a grip interconnecting the two arms. The grip is oriented in such manner that it is disposed at an angle of in the order of 25�-34� with respect to the longitudinal axis of the paddle shaft. The upper end of the grip is closer to the paddle shaft than the lower.
In the accompanying drawings, forming part hereof, similar elements have been given the same reference numerals, in which drawings:

Referring to the drawing and particularly FIGS. 1-4, there is shown the bow and stern portions of a canoe 10. In FIG. 2 a canoeist 11 is illustrated using a paddle 12, made in accordance with the prior art. The paddle consists of an elongated shaft 13 having a palm grip 14 at the upper end thereof and a flattened blade 15 at the opposite or lower end of the shaft, the shaft having a longitudinal axis which passes through the blade and the palm grip. The palm grip and blade are usually integral with the shaft although the present invention may be used with any paddle to which it may be attached as hereinafter more fully described. The canoeist 11 in FIG. 2 grasps the paddle shaft 13 with one hand 16 and the palm grip 14 in the other hand 18. In order to get the most power with each stroke the canoeist reaches forward as far as he can comfortably extend the paddle blade and dips it onto the water. This reaching motion causes the canoeist's grip to open and the fingers of the canoeist's hand 16 to become extended, losing contact with the shaft 13 (see FIGS. 2 and 2a), thereby putting considerable pressure on the extended fingers. The paddle is then pulled rearwardly to a position aft of the canoeist to complete the stroke. As the paddle blade is moved through the water, it is turned about its longitudinal axis 25 to act as a rudder to provide course correction. An uncorrected stroke tends to turn the canoe around. As a result of this twisting action, the shaft is rotated across the palm of the canoeist causing a weakening of the grip and possible blistering of the hand.
A paddle 17 in accordance with the present invention is shown in FIGS. 1, 3 and 4 where it will be seen that handle 19 has been secured to the shaft 13 of the paddle 17.
The handle 19 generally comprises a first or upper arm 20, a second or lower arm 21 and a grip 24 interconnecting the side arms. The arms are each coupled at their free ends 22, 23 to the shaft 13 in such manner that the shaft is rotatable about its longitudinal axis 25 with respect to the handle.
To facilitate the use of the handle and improve the amount of force which the canoeist can bring to bear upon the paddle at all times, the grip 24 is carried at an angle of in the order of 25� to 34� with respect to the longitudinal axis of the shaft 13, as best shown in FIG. 1. The upper arm 20 is therefore made shorter than the lower arm 21 to produce the proper angular position of the grip 24. The angle of the grip may be selected depending upon the position the canoeist prefers to attach the handle to the shaft and upon his position in the canoe, as for example seated or kneeling. The grip 24 may be formed with finger receiving recesses 26 to prevent hand slippage and for proper finger location.
At the beginning of the paddling stroke, as best shown in FIG. 3, the canoeist reaches forward as far as possible with the tip of the paddle just above the surface of the water. Due to the angle of the handle grip his wrist will be straight and the grip firmly within the palm and fingers. The other hand of the canoeist will be on the palm grip 14 in the conventional position. The paddle is then thrust downwardly into the water to the proper depth and the paddle drawn back alongside the canoe until the completion of the stroke. As a result of the angular disposition of the grip portion of the handle, the canoeist's wrist remains substantially unbent throughout the stroke, greatly reducing fatigue and all the fingers of the hand firmly close about the handle (see FIGS. 3a, 4 and 5). Any steering motion required to maintain course such as is known as "J" ing is produced by twisting the palm grip without disturbing or loosening the canoeist's hold upon the handle grip 24.
It will be apparent that the above described handle may be used by a canoeist at the bow or stern of the canoe. Moreover, the paddle and handle can be used on either side or shifted from one side to the other as desired. The assembly may be used for back water strokes as well as forward strokes without modification or interruption of use.
The manner by which the handle 19 may be swingably secured to the shaft 13 of paddle 12 is shown in the three embodiments shown in FIGS. 5-8.
In FIG. 5 the arms 22, 23 each terminate in rings 27, 28 which are journaled upon the shaft and restricted in their vertical movement by a sleeve 29 upon the paddle shaft 13. The rings 27, 28 may be split rings for ready attachment to the shaft or solid rings (see FIG. 6). The sleeve 29 may be made in two pieces for ready attachment to the shaft of the paddle by a clamp 38.
FIG. 6 shows a second embodiment of the invention in which two collars 31, 32 are slipped around the shaft 13. The collars are flanged at one end thereof as shown at 33, 34 and bear against the rings 27, 28 to limit the upward or downward movement of the handle 19 during use. The rings 27, 28 may be secured to the collars 31, 32 so that the rings rotate upon the collars or alternately, so that the collars are journaled upon the shaft 13 and the rings are fixed to the collars. This latter arrangement may be achieved by coating the exterior surface of the collars with a material such as an elastomer having a high coefficient of friction.
In the embodiment of FIG. 7, the arms 21, 22 terminate short of the shaft 13 and are transversely bored as indicated at 35 to receive stub shafts 36 which are also received within bores 37 in an adjustable screw clamp 38. The handle is thus pivotally and swingably coupled to the paddle shaft 13. This adjustable clamp arrangement is particularly useful on paddle shafts of different thicknesses or cross-sectional shapes such as the oval shaped shaft.
Referring to FIG. 9, there is shown somewhat diagrammatically the several positions of a paddle blade 15 with respect to a canoe as the blade is pulled through the course correcting "J" stroke alongside the canoe 10. It will be seen that although the angle of the blade 15 changes, particularly at the finish of the stroke, the position of the handle 19 remains substantially unchanged so that the canoeist's wrist is straight and the pull remains substantially parallel with the longitudinal axis of the canoe.
It will be seen that there has been provided a handle for ready attachment to a paddle which will improve the efficiency and comfort of the paddle user during all of the normal paddle positions, which is compatible with most commonly used paddles, and which will not add greatly to the weight of the assembly.

I'm also torn on the subject about "live action" Anime/Manga. I've seen some good "live action" movies based on anime/manga like the Nana movies. The thing is though I don't agree with these types of movies just being made because they can! I don't agree with "americanizing" anime/manga for our audiences. We shouldn't cut or change the art work that so many people have worked so hard on so that the general populace will "get" them! Look I'm all for bringing Anime/Manga to the general public but I just don't think we should sacrifice story or art (or talent) just so that "everyone" relates to it! More often then not these movies are not very well translated. I often find that the characters come across very cartoony!
If I understand correctly the Nana movies and DeathNote movies were produced in Japan with Japanese actors who understood and respected the artists that wrote the Anime/Manga and the fans that love them. I feel that some of the "live action" movies being released now are just someone trying to cash in on the popularity of these Anime/Manga.
I know a lot of people probably won't agree, this is just my opinion.
Live action anime can be either good or bad like anything else. I find most a rip off and chessy though compared to anime. Its so much easier to make it cool on an anime. When its people alot of the characters looks really bad and so do the creatures.
The Dragon Ball movie, in my opinion, was bad. It didn't really follow the story line, which I wasn't expecting it to completely, but it varied way to much for me. The Avatar movie looks good so far, and from what I heard it's suppose to be the whole first book. It'll be condensed if it is, but they can pull it off if they're careful. I'm still undecided myself, but if I had to chose, based on what I've seen so far, I'd have to say it isn't a good idea, but the Avatar movie may change my mind.
well with animes like death note its really easy to make a live action cause its set in a more realistic manner then most others now as for DBZ ya that was just horrible i mean i have seen some fan made ones that are 100 times better... and as for the last air bender it looks good on the adds on tv but i to am expecting the worst as well i think that if there going to make live action they need to be on anime that are more realistic so that its harder for the bad directers they give them to to mess up on them...
Live action anime... is fail. Almost always it's fail.
A lot of the time it's mega fail because the characters being portrayed are well loved - And so the expectations placed on the particular actor are very high. Naturally it's impossible to meet those expectations.
I hated the DBZ movie so much ... I was reluctant to see it in the first place. But my friends and I went and saw it in the theater... And we walked out in the middle of the movie. Cheesy is one thing. I expected that. But the characters were so off I wanted to scream. At least get the look right.
The Death Note movies were actually really interesting. Ryuk looked awesome. L was portrayed a bit over exaggerated, but the look and the mannerisms were right. The guy that played Light was... Not quite right, but he tried. Overall it wasn't THAT bad.
This business with The Last Airbender is going to fail hard too. (Even though it's not anime, but it's inspired by anime) I'm sure the movie will be "good" to many who haven't seen Avatar.... But I can tell by the actors they picked it's fail.
Trying to turn something like anime into a movie is just too difficult to get right. There are some anime series that can make good movies, like Nana. It was very very very well done. It was like a cast of really good cosplay! LOL! There were a few things wrong, but that's to be expected. But there's no action in it... It's a drama anime. They didn't use the music from the anime ... They wrote some new stuff that was TOTALLY wrong for the particular bands being portrayed.
They jump on this bandwagon of anime that is popular, and try to turn them into movies. I'm terrified of the Cowboy Bebop movie... It's going to suck so bad I just know it. :/
Hold up there's a cowboy bebop movie??? And the DragonBall movie didn't even have Krillin. But who knows these movies could be the new comic book movie... ha ha that was a joke.
The Last Airbender was...AMAZING! Go see it. I doubt you'll be disappointed. It's rare for a cartoon to be adapted to well into a movie. It's the exact opposite of the DBZ movie or The Legend of Chun-Li where it honestly seemed like the made things up as they went along.

NASA's GRAIL mission will map the Moon's gravity
By Ben Coxworth
September 9, 2011
After its planned launch this morning was canceled due to upper wind levels, a Delta II rocket carrying NASA's Gravity Recovery and Interior Laboratory (GRAIL) has been rescheduled to tomorrow morning. The GRAIL mission will incorporate two unmanned spacecraft - GRAIL-A and GRAIL-B - which will fly in formation over the Moon's surface, measuring variations in its gravity. Using this data, scientists hope to learn more about the Moon's thermal history, and how other rocky planets within the inner solar system developed.
Each of the spacecraft are about the size of a washing machine, and have a combined weight of just 1,600 pounds (726 kg). They will be riding side-by-side aboard the rocket, and will be deployed separately once it reaches orbit. GRAILs A and B should take three and a half months to reach the Moon, with A scheduled to arrive this New Year's Eve, and B following on New Year's Day of next year.
After spending five weeks establishing their lunar orbit, the two spacecraft will be maneuvered into formation, and the three month science phase of the mission will begin. During that time, the Moon will rotate three times beneath the orbiters, each 27-day rotation constituting one mapping cycle.
Each time the lead spacecraft encounters a gravitational mass, it will speed up and move forward. When the second spacecraft encounters that same mass, it will also speed up and catch back up with its counterpart. By comparing the differences in the distances between the two units, for each of the three mapping cycles, variations in the Moon's gravitational fields can be determined.
Middle school students will also have the chance to obtain photos of requested lunar targets, via GRAIL's onboard MoonKAM system.

Sony gearing up for S1 and S2 tablets with ads
Subject: General Tech, Mobile | June 19, 2011 - 12:22 AM | Scott Michaud
Tagged: tablet, sony, S2, S1
We are going to see quite a few Android-based tablets come out in the next few months as the flood gates open for tablet creators. We have been reporting on strong rumors have been pointing to Amazon stepping in the tablet space to extend their Kindle portfolio this fall. Amazon is generally very successful when they decide to step in the market, yet that did not deter Sony from preparing to dive in to the tablet space as well. Sony are preparing to launch a 9-inch tablet and a dual screen 5.5-inch tablet in the autumn and to build hype they have released a video ad campaign to build hype for that event.
This "Two Will" Pass
As you can tell from watching the video, it says little about the product except that they slide really quickly, absolutely love someone, cast ominous shadows, and can kill action figures with lightbulb mind bullets. Sony did mention that this is just the first episode of five so it is possible that their later videos may be more informative. However, if you just want to see what an Echochrome 2-esque city has to do with Android tablet then be sure to watch the next four commercials.
Anonymous Denies Responsibility For Sony PSN Attack
Subject: General Tech | May 6, 2011 - 09:20 AM | Tim Verry
Tagged: sony, Internet, Data Breach, Anonymous
As Sony analyzed the forensic data of the recent PSN/SOE attack, they discovered a text file named "Anonymous" and containing the phrase "We are legion," according to Network World. As a result of this, Sony even went so far as to accuse the hacker group as the responsible party in hacking the Playstation Network (and stealing customers' information) in a letter to the U.S. congress.
Anonymous responded to the implications brought by Sony today. Network World reports that Anonymous has stated they were not involved in the attack and that "others performed the attack with the intent of making Anonymous look bad." Based on a press release by the hacker group, it's prior victims had motive to irreparably defame the group in the public eye. Anonymous stated that they have never been involved in credit card theft. Further, they claim to be an "ironically transparent movement," and had they truly been behind the attack they would have claimed responsibility for their actions.
The press release goes on to state that "no one who is actually associated with our movement would do something that would prompt a massive law enforcement response." They further claim that the world's standard fare of Internet thieves would have invested interest in making Sony and law enforcement agencies believe it was Anonymous to throw police off of their trail.
The hacker group names such former victims as Palantir, HBGary, and the U.S. Chamber Of Commerce of being organizations that would like to discredit Anonymous. "Anonymous will continue its work in support of transparency and individual liberty; our adversaries will continue their work in support of secrecy and control," they state in their press release "we are anonymous."
As Anonymous, Sony, and spectators the world over debate, the affected public continues to wait for the true identies of the hackers involved in stealing 77 milion Sony customers' private information to come to light.
PSN Attack Fallout Worsens, 12,700 Credit Card Numbers Stolen
Subject: General Tech | May 2, 2011 - 09:59 PM | Tim Verry
Tagged: sony, PSN
Hackers really do not seem to have learned the old adage of not kicking someone when they are down as Sony has learned that hackers have obtained even more personal data from the popular gaming console's multi-player service. It is believed that 12,700 non-US customer credit card numbers and expiration dates along with 10,700 direct debit bank account numbers of a number of customers in Germany, Austria, Netherlands, and Spain were possibly stolen. The credit and debit card information was included in an older SOE database from 2007. Joystiq has claimed in a recent update that Sony has informed them that this information was obtained during the initial attack and was not a new attack. There is a minuscule amount of hope for those customers in knowing that the security codes located on the back of their cards were not compromised. Unfortunately, there are still many transactions that can occur without needing to input the security code.
"Our ongoing investigation of illegal intrusions into Sony Online Entertainment systems has discovered that hackers may have obtained personal customer information from SOE systems. . . . Stolen information includes, to the extent you provided it to us, the following: name, address (city, state, zip, country), email address, gender, birthdate, phone number, login name and hashed password."

Introduction and Design
Tech journalists are finicky beasts. A few years ago we were washing netbooks in praise, declaring that they promised a new era of accessibility and portability for the PC. But now the tables have turned – tablets have usurped the throne of "cool new thing" and tech news is all too eager to declare the netbook little more than a passing trend, soon to be booted out of the market by glorious touchscreen slates.
The truth, however, is not as extreme has the headlines suggest. Netbooks are another boring reality that won't be going anywhere soon, despite declarations of death and injury. But I can understand why they've lost the limelight. The improvements made to netbooks over the last three years have been incremental at best. While battery life has gradually grown, performance has barely moved. Intel, lacking competition from AMD, has had little reason to improve its Atom processors.
Now AMD has finally brought an Atom competitor to the market in the form of its Fusion APUs. We already reviewed one laptop powered by Fusion, the Toshiba Satellite C655. That laptop, however, was equipped with AMD's single-core E-240. It provided performance roughly on par with a dual-core Atom system we tested in 2010, but ultimately fell a bit shot of our expectations.

Hello ,
<%= link_to 'Add Tester', :onclick => "render :partial => 'somepartial' " %> , But it fails to render partial while clicking on add tester .
Any suggestions ?
Posted 19 November 2013 - 06:00 PM
Hmmm! that just "feels" wrong.
You should just link to an action in a controller and arrange for the action to display the partial
For javascript functionality you should use unobtrusive javascript. Attach the link to a javascript function in whatever_copntroller.js
A great cast on how suimple this is to do can be found here http://railscasts.co.../390-turbolinks
It is a cast on turbolinks but is equally appropriate whether or not you are using turblnks. It may even solve your problem as your issue could be turbolinks related but you don't say what version of rails you are using.
Programming is just about problem solving!
Posted 19 November 2013 - 07:33 PM
You can't render a partial in that way. What you'd want to do is having the controller action render the partial and injecting it via some kind of javascript.
# view <%= link_to "Add tester", add_tester_path, remote: true %>

 # controller def add respond_to do |format| format.js { render partial: 'somepartial' } end end # _somepartial.js.erb $("#tester").html("New content");

Deepertruth: Lighthouse Presents Jesse Romero-The Eucharist
in Religion
Jesse Romero is a well known Catholic Apologest I had the chance to meet at a Conference in Tyler Texas. He is a dynamic speaker.
Pope John Paul II, in his letter, On the mystery and worship of the Holy Eucharist – April 1980: "The Church and the world have a great need of Eucharistic Adoration. Jesus waits for us in this sacrament of love. Let us be generous with our time in going to meet him in Adoration, and in contemplation that is full of faith and ready to make reparation for the great faults and crimes of the world. May our Adoration never cease".
The Angel held a consecrated Host and the chalice, leaving this suspended in the air, the Angel bowed down low before the Eucharist praying these words, "O most Holy Trinity, Father, Son and Holy Spirit, I adore you profoundly, I offer you the most precious body, blood, soul, and divinity of Jesus Christ, present in all the tabernacles of the world, in reparation for the outrages, sacrileges and indifference by which he is offended. By the infinite merits of the Sacred Heart of Jesus and the Immaculate Heart of Mary, I beg the conversion of poor sinners".
How wonderful it is when young people decide to spend time with our Lord and give their lives for Christ at an early age!
How wonderful it is when a young woman decides to give life to the child resting in the shadow of her wings!
How wonderful it is when a struggling marriage that was falling apart is renewed by a surge of love of God!
How wonderful it is when the elderly dedicate time to pray for those lost!
How wonderful it is when a Prodigal child returns and discovers Jesus in the Eucharist!
