Choosing to stand in the long shadow of a famous parent takes courage. Emerging out of it takes something even more special

Teams: Australia | England | India | Pakistan | West Indies
If Neil Diamond's "Sweet Caroline" can find a new generation of admirers on county terraces - and not because first-class cricket has acquired its first player thus named - who knows which pop/rock legend will enjoy a revival next. My money's on Chuck Berry.
As they tuck into the game's cheapest and best thrills in Sri Lanka, the Barmy Army should certainly have a few opportunities to dust off Uncle Chuck's repertoire: a blast of "My Ding-a-Ling" whenever Steven Finn celebrates a wicket with a wagging finger; a sneering "No Particular Place To Go" whenever an opposing batsman falls; "Reelin' and Rockin'" amid a collapse, and, of course, "Johnny B Goode" whenever Jonny Bairstow strides out to the middle, takes guard, swats a boundary or adjusts his box.
Bairstow is one of a relatively new breed - a cricketing son outdoing a famous dad. For the Bairstows read the Joneses and Sidebottoms, the Butchers, Stewarts and Broads - though it helps, granted, when dad has only a handful of caps. Nor is this reversal of traditional fortune confined to Poms. Doug Bracewell has already surpassed Brendon, and while Austin Waugh has a vastly more forbidding mountain to scale - father Steve was dutifully purring at the SCG in March while his boy was starring in the Under-12 Weet-Bix Cup final - it is not unfeasible to imagine Shaun Marsh, or even Mitchell, outranking Geoff. That hitting or projecting lumps of leather has never been a more profitable activity for so many must do wonders for the motivation.
Going into the family trade? North London Jews have an acronym for the upside: IDB - In Dad's Business, shorthand for "unfairly lucky bastard". The downside is far more apparent. Sure, in the more public professions, some have overcome the considerable odds: Jakob Dylan, Julian Lennon, Ziggy Marley and Dweezil Zappa have all carved themselves decent musical careers; Kirk Douglas' son and Judy Garland's daughter both achieved every bit as much as their starry parent onscreen. The victims, though, flow far more readily to mind.
Think of Marlon Brando's children: son Christian, convicted for fatally shooting the boyfriend of his half-sister Cheyenne, who later committed suicide; of Bryan Ferry's boy invading the House of Commons to promote fox-hunting, and Dave Gilmour's boy defacing a war memorial; of the discovery by Let It Be film director Michael Lindsay-Hogg, in his 70s, that the rumour was apparently true - he really was the sole son of Orson Welles, his mother having kept it from him in order to protect him.
Sporting families are far from unusual, of course: when something is as accessible and enjoyable as sport, selling it to your children as a worthwhile expenditure of time and a means of self-advancement is far easier than encouraging them to pursue a proper job. Yet Marvis Frazier, hard-punching son of "Smokin' Joe", is one of the comparatively few sporting champions to have emulated an iconic parent. To him, there was a "responsibility to carry on the legacy". Most sons and daughters of legendary parentage are more inclined to be intimidated, to seek another avenue and hence avoid comparison. Asaad Ali, Muhammad's boy, had a pair of boxing gloves tattooed on his arm, but his likeliest source of sporting success lies in baseball - the LA Angels drafted him in 2009.
Andrew Stewart, son of Alec and grandson of Micky, knew at an early age that flannels and pads were not for him. "He's at uni now and he gave up as soon as he could," Stewart Sr told me the other day without any obvious pangs of regret. "There were 'Are you going to be like dad?' questions everywhere. That wasn't a problem for me - being the son of a famous cricketer was a huge help for me because dad was my best mate, a father and a cricket coach. But I was never pushed. I said the same to Andrew as my dad said to me: do what you want and do it to the best of your ability.
"Andrew bowled a bit of legspin. In his second-last game for the Under-13s I couldn't go, so I rang my wife afterwards and asked how it went. 'They lost,' she told me. 'He took 4 for 12 but he wants to talk to you.' Turns out he was upset because the cricket master said he had to play in the next game." What turned him off? "I was always away. He thought I lived in the TV."
|Perhaps the most determined refusenik in this respect has been John Bradman, son of the Don, who endured 32 years in his father's impossibly long shadow then changed his name to Bradsen. "I'm tired of people 'discovering' who I am. I'm me," he was reported as saying at the time
Perhaps the most determined refusenik in this respect has been John Bradman, son of the Don, who endured 32 years in his father's impossibly long shadow then changed his name to Bradsen. "I'm tired of people 'discovering' who I am. I'm me," he was reported as saying at the time. "And I am no longer prepared to accept being seriously introduced as simply someone's son. I'm an individual, not a social souvenir. I was popped into a metaphorical glass cage to be peered at and discussed like the other exhibits." By the time he reverted to Bradman 36 years later, he had long established his own identity, latterly as a law lecturer.
Then again, cricket is hardly short of dynasties: the Hearnes, the Headleys and the Mohammads, the Hadlees, Khans and Bracewells, all of whom boast at least three Test players spanning upwards of two generations. The game, though, is far bigger on brothers than fathers and sons. In fact, when Shaun Marsh followed his father into the Australian five-day XI last year, the Marshes became just the second Australian father-son Test act, nearly a century after the Gregorys. Still, Alister McDermott might soon make it three.
The last time I checked, there had been 40 such cross-generational firms, a chart headed by England (14), followed by India (eight), New Zealand (seven) and Pakistan (four). Yet statistically, given that there have been around 2700 Test players, you've actually got a better chance of emulating dad if he's been elected to the ICC Hall of Fame: as of last year's intake there were 70 members, four of whose sons had played Tests: Chris Cowdrey, Ron Headley, Richard Hutton and Shoaib Mohammad, though only the last engendered more than a small ripple. Rohan Gavaskar, moreover, won some ODI caps and, who knows, Mali Richards may yet attain more rarefied climes than Antigua and Middlesex. Genes stretch.
Which brings us, inevitably, to the n-word: nepotism. It's hard to think of a word guaranteed to heap more dispiriting shame on a young heart: the idea that your progress owes nothing to quality or ability. In 2003, to take one episode, former India captain Nari Contractor was jettisoned as Talent Resources Development Officer for West Zone after suggesting that nepotism lay behind Gavaskar Jr's inclusion in the India A team to tour England and the nomination of Brijesh Patel's son Udit for the Border-Gavaskar Scholarship. "As far as Udit Patel is concerned," wondered Contractor, "how can his father, who is the chairman of the Indian selection committee, pick his own son for a scholarship abroad?"
Given that his own father happened to be the England coach when he first won selection, Alec Stewart is not short of reasons to look back in rancour, especially at the media, but has always insisted such allegations never bothered him in the slightest. "Nepotism? It was an easy line for the media, but I knew the truth - you don't get ahead because of your dad. I've yet to come across any player who had an issue with my dad being the coach."
Bairstow, tragically, can distance himself from the n-word for all the worst reasons: his father David, the ebullient former Yorkshire and England wicketkeeper, took his own life when Jonny was eight. He may have felt an obligation to go into the family business but it might have been easier, in the circumstances, to turn his hand to a career where reminders of "Bluey" are not inescapable. Should they meet over the coming months, Bairstow Jr may find himself bonding instantly with Javier Ballesteros. Conjecture has mounted since the Spaniard won a prestigious amateur golf tournament at the weekend, having tied for 12th in his first professional event earlier in the year. Will he stick to law when he graduates from university or will he dare pursue the same trade as his incomparable father Seve, who made a nation fall in love with the planet's staidest sport - and actually made it sexy - but died horribly early when cancer claimed him at 54? It takes a very special kind of courage to meet challenges of that ilk.
The same can be said of Nick Compton for deciding to follow in the intimidating footsteps of his grandfather, Denis. After accepting the inaugural County Cricketer of the Year award at London's palatial Plaisterers' Hall on Monday, he revealed that the turning point in his own career came earlier this year, when he finally read a reference to himself that was not followed by the words "grandson of the legendary Denis". Only then did he know he'd cracked it. Only then did he know he hadn't made a horrendous mistake.
At bottom, though, it takes an unusual kind of sensibility to tolerate spending months on end with the same bunch of blokes in a room full of sweat, Brut and machismo, knowing every day that you are being judged in public. Maybe, to some extent, it has to be in the blood.

BANGKOK - The United States will invite Myanmar to the world's largest multinational military field exercise, a powerful symbolic gesture toward a military with a grim human rights record and a milestone in its rapprochement with the West.Myanmar has been invited to observe Cobra Gold, which brings together more than 10,000 American and Thai military personnel and participants from other Asian countries for joint annual maneuvers, officials from countries participating in the exercises told Reuters."It's significant. In the past, Myanmar has always been unhappy about this Cobra Gold, thinking that it was directed against them and was like a step towards invasion," said Dr. Tin Maung Maung Than, a senior fellow at the Institute of Southeast Asian Studies in Singapore and expert on Myanmar's military.The invitation is part of a carefully calibrated re-engagement with Myanmar's military under the umbrella of humanitarian dialogue, the sources said, constituting one of the boldest rewards for Myanmar's new semi-civilian government after 49 years of direct military rule.

CCLP's Geoffrey Baum elected president of California Community Colleges Board of Governors
On Monday, November 17, the California Community Colleges Board of Governors elected CCLP's managing director Geoffrey Baum to serve as president in 2015. In addition to working at CCLP and the Annenberg Foundation Trust at Sunnylands, Baum has served on the California Community Colleges Board of Governors since 2008, most recently as vice president.
"These are both challenging times and an era of unlimited possibility for the California Community Colleges and their vital mission to achieve success, increase access, and help prepare each student for the workforce in our global economy," said Baum.
"It is a tremendous honor to be elected president of the Board of Governors. I look forward to working with my colleagues on the board and the chancellor, in partnership with the governor and the Legislature, to keep this outstanding system at the forefront of public higher education in the country."
Cecilia V. Estolano, co-founder of a development consulting firm, was elected to serve as the next vice president of the Board of Governors.
"I am privileged to work alongside a group of individuals whose top concern is supporting the students, faculty, staff, and administrators," said Estolano. "The California Community
Colleges is working to improve California's economic fortunes and taking bold steps to provide more and more Californians with higher education."
As the largest system of higher education in the U.S., the California Community Colleges serve over two million students each year at 112 colleges across 72 districts. In his new role as president, Baum will work with the Board of Governors to continue to empower the community colleges through leadership, advocacy and support.
The complete press release is available through the California Community Colleges Chancellor's Office.
New Report: Lessons Learned from the Get Mobile Forum on Mobile Technology for Community Engagement
This is a blog post by Beatriz Solis, Program Director at The California Endowment Healthy Communities (South Region), and Geoffrey Cowan, Director of the USC Annenberg Center on Communication Leadership & Policy.
At the 2014 Get Mobile Forum, we invited technology leaders and local community organizers to learn from each other, exploring how organizations can use mobile technology in their efforts to engage and empower the communities of Los Angeles. Today we're excited to announce the release of our report: Lessons Learned From the Get Mobile Forum on Mobile Technology for Community Engagement.
Download the report:
A lack of engagement is a serious issue in Los Angeles. The LA2050 project reports that compared to the rest of the US, "Angelenos are less likely to be involved in groups, less likely to engage in organizational activism, less likely to vote" and even less trusting of others. In order to improve the health and well-being of our communities, it's critical that community members' voices can be heard, regardless of their age, ethnicity, or which neighborhood they live in. Technology has the power to amplify their voices, but only if implemented strategically.
"The problem is not a lack of innovation. The problem is a lack of scaling something up when we find something that works." -- Dr. Robert Ross
Open Data LA workshop connects community leaders and city officials
City governments around the world have started to release public data sets (called "open data") that can help communities and businesses address issues in areas such as transportation, healthcare, and economic development. CCLP's Open Data LA team partnered with the City of Pasadena to host a workshop on October 25 for city officials, application developers, thought leaders, and interested citizens to form new connections and discuss the future of open data.
Titled Beyond Hackathons: What's Next for Open Data in Pasadena?, the workshop focused on several discussion questions, including:
'Journalism alone' not enough to combat ISIS media messages
WASHINGTON - The propaganda spread by ISIS is more powerful and sophisticated than Al Qaeda's media messages of just a few years ago. So now, "journalism alone" is not sufficient for the U.S. to combat the Islamic state's media campaign.
That was the message from two U.S. international broadcasting executives, Shameem Rassam, Executive Producer of Alhurra Iraq, and Davin Hutchins, Director of Digital Content for the Middle East Broadcasting Networks, at Monday's CCLP Communication Leadership Forum in Washington, D.C.
Left to right: Shameem Rassam, Davin Hutchins, and Donald Bishop, President of the Public Diplomacy Council.
Where Al Qaeda relied on Al Jazeera and other media outlets to spread its message, according to Hutchins, ISIS now broadcasts its messages directly, using social networks. And instead of Al Qaeda's crudely produced videos featuring Osama bin Laden, Hutchins noted ISIS has slick, professional productions that focus on "crimes, exploits [and] brutality."
Now, according to Hutchins, the U.S. must start with solid journalism, reporting on "root causes of the ISIS phenomenon among youth" including unemployment, poor education, minority rights, sectarianism and "religious literalism."
Adam Clayton Powell III honored at Africa's largest journalism conference
Senior fellow Adam Clayton Powell III, who leads CCLP's new initiative on mobile phones as a platform for public service, was named a Highway Africa Fellow at the 2014 Highway Africa Conference at Rhodes University's School of Journalism and Media Studies in Grahamstown, South Africa.
The 2014 Highway Africa Fellows, left to right: Joe Alfers, Mathatha Tsedu, Cheriff Moumina Sy, CCLP senior fellow Adam Clayton Powell III, Elizabeth Barratt, Jovial Rantao, and Amina Frense.
In addition to being the only American to receive the award, Powell also holds the record for attendance; he has presented at 17 of the 18 annual Highway Africa Conference meetings, attending more conferences than even the conference organizers themselves.
He helped start the Highway Africa Conference in 1997 with its founder Guy Berger, who served as the head of Rhodes University's School of Journalism & Media Studies and, before moving to Rhodes, edited one of South Africa's four anti-apartheid newspapers.
International journalists discuss global conflicts, propaganda, and online media at CCLP forum
Journalists from Germany and Russia joined USC Annenberg students, faculty and special guests to share their first hand accounts of the physical dangers and moral dilemmas of reporting on international conflicts like the war in Ukraine at Covering Global Conflict, the first in a series organized by USC Annenberg's Center on Communication Leadership & Policy (CCLP) and School of Journalism, along with the Pacific Council on International Policy (PCIP).
More than 100 students, journalists, and Pacific Council members attended the forum, which was among the first special events held in USC's new Wallis Annenberg Hall. The conversation was moderated by CCLP director Geoffrey Cowan and introduced by Willow Bay, director of USC Annenberg's School of Journalism.
"Journalists have become a target--not only one of several targets in the warzone, but almost one of their favorite targets," said Julian Reichelt, editor-in-chief of the popular German news site BILD.de and a war reporter who has covered Iraq, Syria, Afghanistan, and Lebanon.
CCLP cell phone initiative discussed at Africa conference
GRAHAMSTOWN, South Africa - A CCLP initiative to define minimum capabilities of cell phone handsets for health care, public safety and other public services was a focus of discussion at a forum here at Rhodes University on Sunday.
"What a good question!" said Daudi Khamadi Were, Innovation Coordinator at Making All Voices Count, part of Kenya's global Ushahidi group. Were said that cell phone service for illiterate users should be a key issue.
"Mobiles need to be voice-enabled for those who cannot type as fast," agreed Bomasanto Ndulovu, Strategic Executive Director for South Africa's capital city, Tshwane (still known as Pretoria in much of the world).
The audience at the Rhodes University forum takes notes during a discussion on mobile technology.
Covering Global Conflict: New series of conversations hosted by CCLP and the Pacific Council on International Policy
USC Annenberg's Center on Communication Leadership & Policy (CCLP) and School of Journalism, along with the Pacific Council on International Policy (PCIP), are launching a new public series, Covering Global Conflict, which will examine differences in how international media are covering major flashpoints around the world.
"These conversations offer exciting and important opportunities to understand how media in various countries see and interpret events through their own distinctive prism," said Geoffrey Cowan, CCLP director and co-chair of the series. "At USC we emphasize the importance of discussing not only how America sees the world, but how the world is seeing America."
The first conversation, to be held Tuesday, September 9, will focus on the civil unrest in Ferguson, Missouri and the war in Ukraine, featuring journalists from the front lines of global conflict.
Featured speakers include Professor Robert English, an expert on the politics of Russia and director of the USC School of International Relations; Lukas Hermsmeier, a reporter for the German newspaper BILD, who was shot with a rubber bullet and arrested while covering the protests in Ferguson, Missouri; and Julian Reichelt, editor in chief of the popular German news site BILD.de, who has worked as a war reporter in Iraq, Syria, Afghanistan, and Lebanon.
Reichelt said that if there's one take-away he hopes the journalists and students attending the September 9 conversation will remember, it's this: "[Q]uestion everything - there is no universal truth. Learn to separate facts from propaganda; and most importantly, don't fall for the powerful and their spin. Question why they grant you access. Don't confuse access in the service of spin with research."
The discussion will be led by CCLP visiting fellow Florian von Heintze, deputy editor in chief of BILD. Von Heintze agreed with Reichelt that verifying information is one of the biggest challenges in reporting on global conflicts: "What is fact, what is propaganda, and how do you interpret the big grey zone in between?"
Journalists explored this issue at one of CCLP's Washington D.C. forums, discussing the Russian propaganda surrounding the protests in Kiev, Ukraine. Bringing the discussion to USC will offer students and the general public unique insights into the issues facing journalists today.
"I look forward to learning more about how international media outside Germany is covering global conflicts - in print, online and on social media platforms," said von Heintze.
Covering Global Conflict is co-chaired by Geoffrey Cowan, CCLP director and USC University Professor, Willow Bay, director of USC Annenberg's School of Journalism, Jerrold Green, PCIP president & CEO, and Mickey Kantor, CCLP and PCIP board co-chairman.
Visiting fellow Florian von Heintze: How Germany's largest news site is commenting on the death of James Foley
Visiting fellow Florian von Heintze, Deputy Editor-in-Chief of BILD, reflects on the death of James Foley and shares the words of Julian Reichelt, BILD.de's Editor-in-Chief.
64 journalists, media assistants and bloggers were killed this year so far on their job, according to the German association "Reporter ohne Grenzen" (Reporters Without Borders) -- more than ever since its first published report in 1995. US reporter James Foley (40) was the 10th deadly victim in Syria this year. Almost 30 journalists have been killed there since the outbreak of the civil war in 2011. Julian Reichelt (34) has been covering wars in Afghanistan, Iraq, Lebanon and Syria for years. He met James Foley occasionally on the job and always admired him for his courage, his curiosity, and his storytelling. Last year Reichelt was named Editor-in-Chief of Germany's leading news website BILD.de (www.bild.de) with 300 million page impressions monthly. He is based in Berlin. Here is what he wrote about Foley's death.

Below is the commentary published today by Julian Reichelt, Editor-in-chief of BILD.de:
The death of our colleague James Foley, who was beheaded by terrorists, leaves us horrified and aghast. The way he had to die is sickening us.
I did not know him very well; we were not friends, but I knew him well enough to imagine what might have been important for him to say. Before him, hundreds of Syrians and Iraqis were murdered the way he was. Scornfully, barbarically. Helplessly, powerlessly facing death.
James Foley lived to report about these people: the defenseless, the overpowered, the nameless. It would have been important to him to remember them, too -- all those forgotten souls that lie in the mass graves of Syria and Iraq.
Visiting fellow Florian von Heintze shares insights about covering demonstrations in Ferguson, Missouri
Visiting fellow Florian von Heintze, Deputy Editor-in-Chief of BILD, shared with CCLP the story of a BILD reporter who was wounded and arrested while covering the demonstrations in Ferguson, Missouri. Below is von Heintze's personal introduction to the story:
Three German reporters -- among other American and international journalists -- were arrested last night while covering the demonstrations in Ferguson, Missouri, following the fatal shooting of an unarmed black teenager by a white police officer. One of the journalists is 26-year-old Lukas Hermsmeier from Berlin, who writes for BILD, Europe's largest selling newspaper with 12 million readers daily, and its website BILD.de with 14 million unique users and 300 million page impressions per month. Hermsmeier was wounded by rubber bullets and kept in jail for several hours. Here is what Julian Reichelt, Editor-in-chief of BILD.de, writes in his commentary in Wednesday's printed and online edition of BILD about the incident. -- Florian von Heintze

An annular shaft seal including a continuous lip sealing element for sealing against oil flow between a bore and a shaft extending through the bore includes a convoluted elastomeric flexible section which connects the sealing element with a rigid case support. The flexible section is defined by a plurality of annuli, wherein each adjoining pair of annuli defines a reverse bend therebetween. One or more of the reverse bends is reinforced with a relatively non-elastic material, preferably plastic, which is integrally molded thereinto, and provides a torsional rigidity while permitting radial flexibility. This provides a closer following of the lip seal element on the shaft under conditions of extreme runout wherein the lip seal element would otherwise become dynamically distorted.
1. In an annular shaft seal including a primary body portion having a continuous oil sealing lip radially disposed for sealing against oil flow between a bore and a shaft extending through said bore, said seal including a rigid case support disposed for engaging said bore, an annular flexible portion comprising a plurality of annuli, said annuli connecting said sealing element with said case support to provide for radial floating of said lip with respect to said shaft relative to the case support, said flexible portion and said oil sealing lip being integrally molded together to comprise a unitary, molded body of an elastomeric material; an improvement comprising said annuli defining a convoluted cross section, each adjoining pair of annuli comprising a reverse bend, wherein one of said reverse bends comprises a reinforcement annulus integrally molded into said reverse bend separately and apart from said case support, said reinforcement annulus formed of a less elastic material than that of said flexible portion.
2. The annular shaft seal of claim 1 further comprising an annular dirt lip adjacent said oil sealing lip, said dirt lip disposed angularly away from said oil sealing lip.
3. The annular shaft seal of claim 2 further comprising a bearing member having a low friction cylindrical surface adapted to engage said shaft under conditions of extreme shaft eccentricity.
4. The annular shaft seal of claim 3 wherein said bearing member is positioned axially intermediately of said oil sealing lip and said dirt lip along said shaft.
5. The annular shaft seal of claim 4 wherein said dirt lip is disposed for line contact with said shaft.
6. The annular shaft seal of claim 5 wherein said bearing member is disposed for surface contact with said shaft, said bearing member comprising a polytetrafluoroethylene liner.
7. The annular shaft seal of claim 6 wherein said convoluted cross section comprises four reverse bends, wherein said reinforcement annulus of said one of said reverse bends is contained in the third reverse bend from said primary body portion.
8. The annular shaft seal of claim 7 wherein each successive reverse bend from said primary body portion has a thickness less than that of the preceding reverse bend.
9. The annular shaft seal of claim 8 wherein said reinforcement annulus in said one of said reverse bends comprises a plastic material.
10. The annular shaft seal of claim 8 wherein said reinforcement annulus is of a metallic material.
11. The annular shaft seal of claim 1 wherein said reinforcement annulus comprises a circular cross-section.
12. The annular shaft seal of claim 11 wherein said rigid case support comprises a metallic material.
This invention relates to shaft seals, and more particularly to structures for accommodating radial shaft movements associated with runout and mis-alignment eccentricities.
Numerous prior art sealing designs are provided for conditions of high shaft runout and mis-alignment in environments such as crankcase housing bores having shafts extending therefrom. When severe, such conditions cause premature failures of typical sealing systems. Many designs include flexible sections which connect lip type sealing elements with rigid case supports normally affixed to the housing bores. The flexible sections provide a floating capability with respect to the sealing lip for permitting radial movement of a shaft relative to the rigid case support without severe leakage, particularly where extreme eccentricities allow for high shaft runouts over substantial periods of time.
Most of these systems, however, lack stability under extreme runout conditions, wherein, notwithstanding the flexibility of the connective member between the rigid case support and the lip sealing element, there is a need to control or at least curtail some of the dynamic movement associated with the flexible portion. Such control of dynamic seal lip movement would enhance lip contact with the shaft.
The improved lip seal assembly of the present invention incorporates a convoluted flexible section which provides a radial float capability sufficient to hold and maintain the primary sealing lip in contact with the shaft under eccentricities in excess of 0.060 inches.
In addition, the present invention provides a means for protecting the primary sealing lip via the use of a dirt lip angled away from the oil side of the seal. In one preferred form, the invention also provides a bearing member comprising a low friction cylindrical body which closely engages the shaft at all times, preferably formed of polytetrafluoroethylene. The latter bearing member is preferably positioned intermediately of the primary sealing lip and the dirt lip, whereby the dirt lip may protect both the bearing surface-shaft interface as well as the primary lip-shaft interface.
The present invention provides a rigidity reinforcement in the flexible portion, the flexible portion defining a convoluted cross section having a plurality of annuli adjoined by reverse bends. One of the reverse bends includes an integrally molded annulus formed of a less elastic material than that of the annuli, such as a plastic. In the same preferred form, the reinforcement annulus has a circular cross section.
Also in the present invention, each successive reverse bend away from the case support has a thickness less than that of the next adjacent reverse bend. This provides for a generally more optimal flexibility pattern than if the reverse bends have equal or uniform thicknesses. The seal assembly of the present invention will therefore accommodate a substantial amount of eccentricity, while avoiding the typical sealing lip distortion on the "high" side of the shaft with concurrent loss of sealing contact on the opposite or "low" side.
FIG. 1 is a fragmentary half-cross section view of a floating lip seal of the present invention having a reinforced flexible portion.
FIG. 2 is a similar view of an alternative embodiment.
Making reference initially to FIG. 1, a floating lip seal assembly 10 includes an elastomeric annular primary body portion 12 which contains a primary sealing lip 14. The lip 14 is adapted for continuous contact with a shaft 16, and circumferentially engages the outside diameter (O.D.) 17 of the shaft, as shown. The lip seal assembly 10 is disposed for insertion into a bore 18, such as that of an automotive crankcase (not shown), by means of a rigid case shell 20 to which the elastomeric body of the assembly 10 is molded. In the preferred form, the rigid case shell 20 is of a metallic material. For purposes of frictional securement of the assembly 10 within the bore 18, the outside diameter 21 of the case shell 20 is sized so as to provide an interference fit with the bore 18.
An elastomer inner shell 22 is integrally molded directly to the shell 20, and the primary body portion 12 is an integral part of the shell 22, being connected to the inner shell 22 via a flexible portion 24.
The portion 24, to which this invention particularly relates, is formed of a plurality of integrally formed annuli of the same elastomer material as that of the inner shell 22 and the primary body portion 12. In the preferred embodiment in FIG. 1, there are three annuli: a first annulus 26, a second annulus 28, and a third annulus 30. The annuli are all connected by a plurality of reverse bends; a first reverse bend 32 integrally connects the primary body portion 12 with the first annulus 26. The second reverse bend 34 connects the first and second annulus 26 and 28 respectively. The third reverse bend 36 connect the second and third annuli 28 and 30. Finally, a partial reverse bend 38 connects the third annulus 30 with the elastomer inner shell 22.
In the preferred form, the various reverse bends become successively smaller in radial thickness as their distances from the primary body portion 12 become greater. Thus, the partial reverse bend 38 is smaller in thickness than the third reverse bend 36. Similarly, the third reverse bend 36 has a thickness less than that of the second reverse bend 34. Finally, the second reverse bend has a thickness less than that of the first reverse bend 32. In the preferred form, each successive reverse bend may have a thickness approaching 60-75 percent of that of each adjacent reverse bend closer to the primary body portion 12. This relationship has been found to provide a more optimal dynamic movement of the flexible body portion during high frequency vibrations under conditions under which total eccentricities approach one hundred thousandths of an inch.
An additional feature provided by the present invention relates to the relative angular flexibility of each reverse bend as related to the particular pair of annuli associated therewith. Thus, for example, the reverse bend 36 will have a certain amount of annular flexibility which will affect the torsional movements of second and third annuli 28 and 30 with respect to each other about the reverse bend 36. Thus the annulur stiffness of the reverse bend will affect the initial dynamic properties of the latter pair of annuli, and hence the overall performance of the lip seal-shaft interface under conditions of extreme eccentricity or shaft runout.
For this purpose, a reinforcement ring 37 is formed of a preferably high temperature plastic material molded into the elastomeric flexible portion 24 as shown at the time of manufacture of the assembly 10. Although the preferred embodiment shown in FIG. 1 incorporates the reinforcement ring 37 at the third reverse bend 36, this invention is not limited to such placement of the reinforcement ring, but envisions potential placement of the ring or rings at other reverse bend locations for desired dynamic control of the primary sealing lip 14 on the O.D. 17. In addition, this invention contemplates that the reinforcement ring 37, which imparts torsional rigidity to the particular bend of its location, may be formed of other materials besides plastic, such as, for example, steel or certain other materials suitable for reinforcing stiffness of elastomers. Also, the preferred cross-sectional diameter of the ring 37 is in the range of 25 to 50 percent of the reverse bend thickness.
As will be apparent in FIG. 1, the primary sealing lip 14 is placed under a slight static compression load against the shaft 16 by provision of a garter spring 40 as is conventional in the art. The garter spring 40 is retained within a groove 42 having annular projections 44 and 46 which engage the majority of the cross section of the garter spring as shown. In addition, and as earlier indicated, the first preferred embodiment of FIG. 1 includes a dirt lip 48 for protecting the life of the primary sealing lip. In the preferred form, the lip 48 is angled away from the primary sealing lip, as shown. Finally, the primary sealing lip may include a helical rib to enhance the oil leakage control capabilities of the lip 14.
Referring now to FIG. 2, an alternative embodiment of the lip seal assembly 10' is shown, which is similar in most respects to the assembly 10 of FIG. 1. The alternative embodiment of FIG. 2, however, includes a cylindrical bearing member 50 interposed between the primary sealing lip 14' and the dirt lip 48'. The latter bearing member provides a means of enhancing the ability of the sealing lip 14' to follow movement of the shaft 16' under severe eccentricities. In the preferred form, the bearing member includes a cylindrical bearing liner 52 as shown, preferably of a polytetrafluoroethylene material. The latter material is preferred for its particularly low coefficient of friction.
It will be noted in reference to the presently described preferred embodiments that the dirt lip as described and shown comprises a line contact with the shaft, whereas the bearing member 50 comprises a surface contact with the shaft. It is conceivable, however, that there may be alternative designs which provide for line contact of the shaft by the bearing member and surface contact by the dirt lip. In addition, there may be embodiments wherein a plurality of dirt lips may be employed, or even a plurality of bearing members. All of such alternative embodiments, as well as numerous others, are envisioned to be covered by the following claims, to the extent that they may fall within the spirit and scope thereof.

We woke up to rain yesterday. Not sure why I didn't expect that even after reading it was on the way. Being a blonde is so hard sometimes.
Mike has been working a lot more than usual, so it was nice to finally have some time off and a free day to play. We have been talking about going to the gun range for awhile now, so I woke up and excitedly told him that's what I wanted to do. You know the boy was stoked!
I have a Smith + Wesson .38 revolver Mike picked out for me because the boy said "I'm not mechanical enough for a Glock." Ha! Guess what my new life goal is now?
It was one of our friends Birthday and the rain cancelled their outdoor plans, so I invited them along. Turns out, everyone had a fantastic time throwing lead down range!
Mike has several other "mechanical" {pun totally intended} pieces we got to fire, including his beloved Beretta 9mm he's had for forever. The man can't miss a target with it.
I choose this evil bunny to target practice with, while they chose a wild, evil turkey.
Um, yah he gone.
After we headed out to celebrate our friends Birthday at Cannery Row Brewing. It's one of those places that every time we drive by, Mike always says he wants to go check it out, so this was a perfect choice on our buddies part.
The food was amazing – the boys loved the pork chops and we got to watch the Bruins game to cheer them on for Emily. Girlfriend is a big time Bruins fan.
Since this going out to dinner thing is a rare occasion, and lets be real, I actually did my hair, it had to be documented.
Okay well, we tried. I guess growing up is still not a high priority for us yet. Or ever.
After we invited everyone over for after dinner drinks, Scotch for the boys, wine for the girls and watched 2 episodes of Lillyhammer. Oh my gosh it's a great show!
While Bam enjoyed the extra love + snuggles. He thinks he is human, I am sure of it.
As they were heading home, our buddy said "this was the best Birthday I've had in years!" My heart is so full. It makes me SO happy to see him happy. <3
How do you spend a rainy day?
What show are you currently watching?
Any fun plans for today?

Mandoline or v-slicer recommendation
I am looking to purchase an inexpensive mandoline or a v-slicer. I want it mainly for thinly slicing potatoes (like for au-gratin dishes). I was going to get the Progressive Mandoline or V-slicer that Cook's Illustrated recommends, but it doesn't get great reviews on Amazon. So now I'm looking at either the Swissmar Borner or a Benriner (it seems like the Benriner gets mentioned quite a bit on this site). Does anyone have any input on either of these?
As an aside, I have never found cooks illustrated to be particularly accurate, and find that the reviews on Amazon are usually right on. I bought a cheapo mandoline about 4 years ago, and I have never used it since improving my knife skills and learning how to sharpen my knives more accurately <G>
I have had my Benriner for about 15 years. I love it. For the home cook, I don't see any reason to go to a more higher priced mandoline.
If you decide on the Benriner, be sure to find a finger guard. This baby is super sharp! I don't have a guard and don't know where to get one, so this stays in the cabinet while I use a plastic Hoan brand that I bought in the 1970's for about $30. It's still sufficiently sharp for gratin slices, shredding and juliennes. I definitely will replace it when dull. I like the looks of the OXO, but have read that it doesn't shred or julienne. Since I already own it, maybe I'll try to "Rube Goldberg" a guard for the Benriner.

>> If you decide on the Benriner, be sure to find a finger guard.
I often just use a thick oven mitt to protect my hand. I can never find the finger guard in my drawer of kitchen doodads.
re: amazinc
You could get a cut resistant glove - either as kitchenware or probably cheaper as fishing gear. I can say from experience they protect against fairly firm brushes against a Benriner blade though they're not actually cut "proof." You have to be careful, but another advantage is they give you grip and finer control than you'd have with something like a mitt. I think mine (a fish "fileting glove") was ~$15.
FWIW, they do sell replacement blades for the Benriners, so they probably sell the guards, too. You could check www.korin.com, I've bought blades from their brick&mortar store, or just google it.
I've had one of these for close to 20 years and it's still going strong.
re: wdames
Michel Richards shows a neat way to get a perfect micro dice using the benriners. It's something I can do with a knife (though not as perfect) but it's much faster with the mandoline.
re: vanillagorilla
I saw him do that brunoise on Chef's Story. It was pretty cool. I think he made an apple risotto using brunoise of apple.
My Boerner V-Slicer is my favorite kitchen tool. It shreds/juliennes fine or coarse, and slices thin/paper-thin. Extremely sharp, but the food-holder keeps fingers safe. The bottom has cut-outs on either side to hold it in place over one of your own rectangular containers or pans. Boerner also makes an all-plastic fine-coarse grater. It's only a few dollars, a cheap-looking flat thing, but it's very sharp and makes fast work of grating potatoes for latkes. Via eBay, you can usually get good prices on either.
I love my v-slicer and use it all the time, especially for slicing potatoes. Purchased at the county fair probably 10-15 years ago. Just recently broke part of one side of the hand guard (the part that slants up) and was doing a search for one. Amazon has one for under $7 on sale now. Just put V-slicer in the search box at the site and it will bring lots of machines and parts up. Borner wants about $10. I recently bought a v-slicer for a friend on ebay for under $15. You just have to be patient.
If you've never used a mandolin, you may not like it. Many of the Amazon reviews are clearly from people enticed by Cook's to buy their first one. That particular mandolin is perfectly good - and all are sharp with the real differences being ease of cleaning and how well the guard, if any, works. You can spend a lot but only do that if you've used one for a while and want to upgrade ... and that basically means you have better skills and are willing to take on the danger. The good things about the one Cook's recommends are that the guard actually is useful - so you won't slice your fingers - and it's very easy to clean. All mandolins have their quirks.
re: rainey
I bought one of those from Costco and returned it the next day. Next to useless for any thing but potatos.
If you get the Benriner, I would advise you to get the extra wide one. I have had a cheap old mandoline that I bought from the long defunct Lechter's many years ago. The cutting surface is 3 1/2" wide which is adequate. Last year I bought a new Benriner and I've been rather disappointed. The standard Benriner has a cutting surface width of only 2 3/4". That's okay for some vegetables but not for most onions and many other vegetables and fruits for which you might want to use your mandoline.
re: Sam D.
I have both the standard and the wide Benriner. I still use the standard one more often. The wide one has two set screws instead of one so if they are not set at the exact same place the cuts will not be even.
As a teenager in 1977 I bought my mother something called a "Miracle Chef" v-slicer at the Pacific National Exhibition in Vancouver. It's still in her regular use and works beautifully, better than my Benriner.
I've just Googled it, and found it on ebay and also still made by Boerner.
Eons ago, I received a Boerner V-slicer as a Christmas gift. I saw "as seen on TV", it was plastic and appeared to be very cheap. It went in the pantry to be forgotten. Yesterday, I decided to make homemade potato chips and remember the V-slicer. What a great tool! I was just doing simple thin slicing, but you can flip the adapter to get a thicker slice at about 1/4 in. There are 2 other adapters for julienning (sp) or making fr. fries. Con's - the slicing thicknesses are fixed, but for my cooking needs, that's not a big deal. I see (google) that Boerner has a couple of other more expensive, *prettier* models, but have the el-cheap-o that costs around 35 - 40$$.
I have one of the cook's illustrated recommended mandolines. I have cut myself on my old Benriner and got annoyed with the narrow runway. I would recommend three things, a mandoline with a slanted blade or V blade, some type of guard for your fingers and a easy adjustable blade. Mine has two adjustments on each side. Maybe it is just me but It is awarkward to get them both even.

Penis Odor – Why It Occurs And How To Get Rid Of The Fishy Smell
Among the many complaints about penis problems, unpleasant and off-putting odors are one of the most common. As a rule most men don't like to talk about this kind of issue with their health care provider, but a fishy penis smell can be embarrassing and it is certainly not a turn-on for a potential sexual partner. Fortunately, getting rid of an unpleasant penis odor can be as simple as cleaning the skin properly and applying a penis crème which contains natural antibacterial agents and moisturizers.
Unpleasant penis odors are generally a sign of bacteria on the penis skin, especially in uncircumcised men. Dr. David King, director of urology services at the El Camino Hospital of Los Gatos, CA explains that "the most common causes of bad smell around the penis would be related to poor hygiene and skin infections."
Hygiene-related penis odor
Foul penis odor often occurs when dead skin cells build up underneath the foreskin, attracting bacteria which create a fishy smell directly related to lack of proper cleansing. To address this problem, Dr. King recommends that all men pull back the foreskin completely and wash the area underneath with warm water and a mild cleanser. In addition, it is important to dry the area carefully as bacteria thrive in warm, moist places and to pull the foreskin back to its original position.
Yeast infection
Aside from poor hygiene, skin infections can also cause a fishy smell. Thrush, or yeast infection, is often the cause of penis odor and can affect both circumcised and uncircumcised men. Aside from an unpleasant smell, a yeast infection is often accompanied by a cheesy, whitish discharge, as well as uncomfortable burning and itching. Painful urination may also occur if the infection has affected the urethra, or opening at the tip of the penis.
Bacterial vaginosis (in sexual partners)
Men whose female sexual partners are affected by bacterial vaginosis, a condition which also causes a fishy smell due to imbalances in body chemistry, may also experience the odor on their own penis. Again, washing carefully and moisturizing the penis skin can help to address this problem.
Other causes of penis odor
Some of the less-common causes of penis odor include urinary tract infections; the bacteria that cause the infection may spread to the outside of the penis, around the urethral opening, resulting in a detectable fishy smell. In addition, some diabetics are affected by a condition known as ketonuria, in which waste products from the breakdown of fatty acids can accumulate in the urine and cause a fishy odor.
Promoting a healthy penis
Fortunately, most cases of bad penis odor can be resolved fairly easily. As mentioned earlier, proper hygiene is the first step. Aside from keeping the area, clean, men can take the following steps to prevent or eliminate unpleasant penis smells:
1. Moisturize. Overly dry penis skin often develops minute fissures which allow the bacteria that are often responsible for a fishy smell to penetrate. Natural moisturizers such as shea butter work well for sensitive penis skin, while those containing vitamin E create natural moisture barrier that prevents dehydration.
2. Reduce the presence of bacteria on the skin. Nourishing the penis skin with natural anti-bacterials such as vitamin A can help to eliminate the presence of odor-causing bacteria and to prevent bacterial infections. In addition, vitamin C can help to boost the immune system and protect the body from disease.
Applying a specialized formula containing penis vitamins moisturizers and other nutrients (most health professionals recommend Man1 Man Oil) as part of the daily personal care regimen may help to keep the penis clean, healthy and odor free.

Kourvioisier - Write Brothers
Artist: Kourvioisier
Featuring: Thee Tom Hardy
Producer: K-Hill
Album: Cable in the Classroom EP
Avg Rating: 3.3 ( 4 votes )
As all history buffs and North Carolinans will tell you, the Wright Brothers were the first individuals to pilot an airplane. Granted, it only glided a few feet. N.C. newcomer Kourvioisier and Booth veteran Thee Tom Hardy have dubbed themselves the Write Brothers on their new collaborative effort and, with their charisma, I am sure this flight will last considerably longer than that of their namesakes. K-Hill provides the duo with a quirky, briskly-paced beat. With the producer's strong support, the duo take flight, showcasing speedy flows that, while stylistically different, go together like pizza and ranch dressing. If you enjoyed this selection, then be sure to safely board Kourvioisier's Cable in the Classroom EP when it takes off on April 30.

Fellow DPer's , Lets think very hardSubmitted by doctor011 on Sat, 01/28/2012 - 16:49
About what ENDORSE LIBERTY HAS DONE IN FLORIDA. Is it possible for us to put together a TV add for Ron and help swing Virgina, or Maine his way. I'm sure we have enough of a following here to do it. Anything stopping us?
- Login to post comments
I think one on one time and
I think one on one time and door to door visits in these two states are a true key to win.
Keep the Campaign Funded
Keep the campaign funded, they still have to do the official stuff.
Otherwise, of course, keep your eyes open for oportunities.
Right now, we have what? 3 or 4 SuperPACs to choose from? You might consider going to your local cable station and find out what it costs to run one of the already available videos (ask for permission to run them): "For Liberty," or one of the others. Keep in mind there are reporting requirements in some cases.
What do you think? http://consequeries.com/
What about Comcast on demand?
We could put up a ton of Ron Paul videos and ads on Comcast Video on demand. They put all kinds of crap on there why not meet the candidate? It would be a lot easier to direct people who have cable, and a short ad before the video could pay for itself.
Please cite the Constitutional authority for going to war without a declaration of war by congress.
30 second ads
A 30 second version of Mitt v. Mitt, closing with Ron Paul's Constitutional Compliance
While I think one on one time and door to door visits in these two states are a true key to win, I have a great idea suited for these two states. We need an ad about the history of Ron Paul. We need to show examples of Ron staying true and saying the same things for over 30 years. There are numerous clips we can pull from. Especially in these two states where mitt is our true competition, a history of both will truly resonate. Ron Paul has a history of NO FLIP FLOPPING. No one has had that in recent memory. We HAVE to use that to our advantage.
bump for activism
LL on Twitter: http://twitter.com/LibertyPoet
sometimes LL can suck & sometimes LL rocks!
Love won! Deliverance from Tyranny is on the way! Col. 2:13-15
I believe that more door to door visits in this state will set us apart but ads are very important. In Virginia, we need to focus on setting Ron Paul apart from Romney(Which won't be too hard) Maine, in my opinion should be positive ads about us. His early visits are already creating a huge buzz in Maine. These are too states we can seriously win and it could give us a huge spark into grabbing this nomination. I think in Virgina and Maine, a history of Ron Paul video would generate huge power and true emotions. We show show them that he has been saying the same things and fighting for liberty for over 30 years now. You can't silence 30 years of dedication to a cause. That kind of ad will seriously get us votes especially when its us versus mitt
I think it's possible.
But there's not much time.
And it costs alot, and needs expert producers, who aren't going to make any mistakes.

No, he wasn't born in Sicily. In fact—according to a 2011 article in the Boston Globe—Doug Ferriman started out in the pizza business without even knowing how to make dough. But he learned fast, besting 120 competitors and two Italian chefs to take second place at the International Pizza Challenge later that year. Ferriman is also one of only two people to have won the International Pizza Expo's Pizza of the Year honor more than once, in 2004 and 2007, according to trade magazine Pizza Today. Finally, in the 2013 competition, Ferriman won first in the non-traditional category in the northeast region.
Today, Ferriman brings his dough tossing know-how to Crazy Dough's Pizza, which he co-owns with his wife, Melissa. Their labor-of-love-turned-small-business-success-story, which has been documented in media outlets such as the Boston Business Journal, can be explained by their commitment to quality ingredients and diverse recipes. Their chefs start with a solid pizza foundation of North Dakota flour, vine-ripened California plum tomatoes, and Wisconsin cheese. Next, they transform raw dough into three pizza types: pan-baked, rectangular sicilian pies; hearty brick-oven rounds; or their specialty fire-grilled pizzas, cooked to a crispy, smoky finish on an open-flame hickory grill.
Finally, guests can choose from a huge selection of off-the-wall toppings and signature combinations, such as cheeseburger bacon or potato bacon cheddar. The shops also attract guests with $5 Pabst Blue Ribbon pitchers, calzones, and Crazy Dough Bowls—salads whose bread-bowl exterior can be eaten or worn as a savory hat.
Papa John's has carefully crafted a menu of specialty pizzas to satisfy any taste or mouth shape. Order a Hawaiian BBQ Chicken, or go all-out and get The Works, a top-heavy combination of pepperoni, ham, spicy Italian sausage, fresh-sliced onions, green peppers, gourmet baby portabella mushrooms, and ripe black olives. Satisfy herbivores and herbivoyeurs with a Tuscan Six-Cheese or Garden Fresh pie. The full list of specialty pizzas includes several more; take the hassle out of haggling over individual ingredients and boldly cast your straight-ticket ballot for the pizza party that your conscious dictates.
Drawing its name from the Roman goddess of the harvest, Ceres Bistro incorporates seasonal and locally sourced ingredients into its menu of contemporary, casual fine-dining cuisine. These local ingredients complement the slightly elevated versions of American staples—including brined pork chops and grits with aged cheddar—but the chefs also add international flair by introducing distinctive flavors such as wasabi oil or imported spaghetti. To help accommodate specialized diets, the chefs even prepare gluten-free menus and entire entrees without carbon. The wine list embraces a similar worldliness, featuring aromatic whites and robust reds from Europe, South America, and Australia, as well as a selection of domestic producers.
Echoing this commitment to tradition as well as modernity, the bistro uses antique accents to add character to its contemporary smattering of dark wooden tables and floor-to-ceiling windows. Reclaimed oak wainscoting lines the executive boardroom, original Vanity Fair prints from the 1800s adorn the bar-and-lounge-area's walls, and the 90-seat dining room lies beneath a stained-glass ceiling dome that dates back more than 100 years.
"We go to auctions, and we always walk away with enormous pieces. We're not into collecting teacups," co-owner Janet Birbara told Westchester Living in 2010.
Domino's has been decorating dough canvases with flavorful sauces, an assortment of cheeses, and high-quality toppings that range from classic to unconventional since 1960. Domino's dough is tossed daily and stretched by human hands, not by clumsy catapults and model airplanes flying in opposite directions. Treat friends to a tasteful feast by checking the online menu and crafting a custom masterpizza with Domino's wide range of ingredients. Famished diners too starved to choose their own toppings can select from Domino's American Legends, featuring signature flavors from throughout the land. Pizzas such as the Pacific Veggie, Honolulu Hawaiian, or Wisconsin 6 Cheese impart all the delicious diversity of a road trip without the hassle of decoding an atlas. Nonpizza fare includes pastas, sandwiches, and breadsticks.
Part Mexican cantina, part Irish pub, and all cop, Garcia Brogan's blends disparate cultures in both its menu and its decor, which features murals and folk art from Mexico and Ireland. Whether guests want a glass of Irish whiskey or a fine tequila, Garcia Brogan's bartenders keep the drinks flowing, pouring a river of alcohol in which tacos and shepherd's pie bob appetizingly. The restaurant hosts pub trivia nights and live Irish music on the weekends.
Founded by longtime friends Jonathan Schwarz and Christopher Robbins, Stone Hearth Pizza builds its gourmet pies from organic, local, and sustainably produced ingredients. The casual pizzeria has expanded to six locations since opening in 2005?a pace of growth made possible by the popularity of chef and general manager Michael Ehlenfeldt?s Neapolitan-style thin-crust pizzas. New England craft beers complement the pizzas and pastas with a pleasantly bitter taste that reflects their conflicted attitude toward out-of-towners.
