Glossary & Terminology - Electronic Connectors
Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene (ABS) is an amorphous thermoplastic tri-polymer that finds exceptional use in the connector industry because of low cost, dimensional stability, high impact resistance, excellent mechanical properties, good working temperature range, and high surface hardness.
Abrasion Resistance
Abrasion Resistance is the degree of resistance of a material to abrasion or surface wear
Alternating Current. An electrical current that reverses its direction of flow at regular intervals (ac, 60 hertz [cps] means reversing direction of flow each half cycle or 120 times per second).
Acetal is a crystalline thermoplastic used in the fabrication of connectors. Acetals possess properties similar to metal and offer good resistance to organic solvents. Owing to its flammable chemical composition, no flame resistant grade of Acetal exists.
Acetal Resin
Acetal Resin is a rigid Thermoplastic Resin with mechanical properties similar to Zinc or Aluminium. Acetal resin can be moulded or extruded to provide high tensile and flex strengths, resilience and solvent resistance. Good electrical properties survive humid conditions.
Access Holes
Access Holes is a series of holes that share a common axis, often used to link layers of printed circuit boards
Actuator is a sliding, wedge-like device that pushes a Flexible Printed Circuit (FPC) or a Flat Flexible Cable (FFC) contact against a connector contact. The wedge action generates high Contact Normal Forces and FPC/FFC Retention Forces.
Alkyd Resin
Alkyd Resin is a type of Resin made from a Polyhydroxy alcohol combined chemically with the acids of various oils. They are particularly adapted for use where hardness and high gloss are required. They are commonly used as thermosetting moulding compounds in electronic components.
Alloy is a combination of a metal with another element such as another metal or even a non metal.
Allyl Plastics
Allyl Plastics are plastics based on resins made by addition polymerization of monomers containing Allyl groups, such as diallyl phthalate. Often compression molded, offering good high temperature performance and chemical resistance.
Alternating Current, AC
Alternating Current is an electrical current that reverses its direction of flow at regular intervals (AC 60 Hertz [Hertz is number of cycles per second] means reversing its direction of flow each half cycle or 120 times per second).
Aluminum, Al
Aluminum is element no. 13 of the periodic system; Atomic weight 26.97; silvery white metal of valence 3; melting point 1220 (degrees F); boiling point approximately 4118 (degrees F); ductile and malleable; stable against normal atmospheric corrosion, but attacked by both acids and alkalis. Aluminum is used extensively in articles requiring lightness, corrosion resistance, electrical conductivity, etc. Its principal functions as an alloy in steel making; (1) deoxidizes efficiently; (2) restricts grain growth (by forming dispersed oxides or nitrides); (3) alloying element in nitriding steel.
Ambient Temperature
The temperature of the air, or surrounding earth, is used as a test environment in product specifications.
Ampere, A
Ampere is the standard unit of the current passing, designated as the amount of current that occurs when one Volt of Electromagnetic Force (EMF) is applied across one Ohm of Resistance. An ampere of current is produced by one Coulomb of charge passing a point in one second through a conductive material cross-section.

Bill of Material (BOM)
Bill of Material, or abbreviated as BOM, is a list of all electrical, electronic, mechanical parts or components, or other supporting materials that are required to manufacture the complete end product. A simple BOM lists out the manufacturing part numbers and the quantity needed of each component. Depends of the complexity of the end product, it will be consisted of multiple levels of sub-assemblies and thus the BOM is hierarchical and may contain many modular BOM for each sub-assembly. To describe completely about the parts and components that will be used in the manufacturing processes, sometimes the BOM will also include a whole range of component descriptors, e.g. specifications, CAD drawings, schematic diagrams, mechanical and electrical characteristics, etc. In a nutshell, BOM serves as a mean to track product changes, costing, inventory control, engineering management, maintaining an accurate list of components needed to manufacture the product. In particular, when manufacturing outsourcing is popular, sharing the BOM from OEM to an EMS provider, via web-based Product Data Management (PDM) or Enterprise Resources Management (ERP) systems is very essential to seamless integration of supply chain.
Where a voltage is output in a higher voltage.
Bottom Mount
When card entry is normal, i.e. contacts of the card are facing downward, if the card socket is mounted on the "Bottom" of the PCB board, it is said to be Bottom Mounted. In other words, when card entry is reversed, i.e. contacts of the card are facing upward, if the card socket is mounted on the top of the PCB board, it is said to Bottom Mounted. It is sometimes called Reverse Mount, which refers to, if a Bottom Mount card socket is mounted on top of a PCB, the card entry needs to be reversed. In terms of structure, in a Bottom Mount card socket, the contact terminals of the card socket are of the opposite horizontal plane as of the SMT pins. See the following diagram for details:

Contract Electronics Manufacturer (CEM)
Contract Electronics Manufacturer (CEM) refers to a company that manufactures and assembles products for another hiring company. That hiring company is typically an Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) which owns the brand, design and the intellectual property of the product, but outsources the manufacturing of the product to a CEM. Because CEMs are typically sub-contractors of many other OEMs of the same kind, they gained advantages and expertise in large capacity manufacturing, raw material sourcing, industrial designs, quality controls, and thus become even more competitive in those areas than a single OEM. On top of that, CEM provides value-added services to an OEM, such as order fulfilment, distribution, engineering service, etc, making an OEM can operate without a real factory. It is also very common for OEMs to outsource their older, more stable product lines to their CEMs, and focus themselves on some higher growth, higher profit margin products.
The state of being whole, unbroken.
Crimp contact
An electrical terminal or contact having a wire barrel that has been formed or machined into a hollow cylinder or left to remain as an open "U." After a wire has been inserted, the barrel is wedged into a controlled form that will continue to exert pressure on the wire. A crimp contact is often referred to as a solderless contact.
Dielectric withstanding voltage
The maximum potential gradient that a dielectric material can withstand without failure.
Differential (Signalling)
Two wires are used to counteract each other, they act as the inverse of each other (i.e. one positive and one negative), and this is beneficial as it allows reduction on the impact of electrical interference.
Decabromodiphenyl ether is a flame retardant, made from organic compounds containing bromine.
Dielectric Withstanding Voltage Test
Both EIA-364-20 & MIL-STD 1334A Method 3001 describes the procedures of testing the Dielectric Withstanding Voltage of a connector. Purpose of the test is to prove a connector which can operate safely at its rated voltage, and can also withstand momentarily over potentials due to unstable switching. Therefore, during testing, a high voltage AC source (voltage at least 75% of the break-down voltage of the connector) is applied across adjacent contact terminals of the connector for around 1 minute. Then measure the leakage current (must be less than 5mA) and see if there is any spark or damage physically. If the connector can withstand the voltage, the rated voltage of the connector is usually specified as one third of the Dielectric Withstanding Voltage. It is also specified at the sea level. For higher altitude at lower Barometric pressure, a lower Dielectric Withstanding Voltage is required.
A device that passes current in only one direction using two terminals, normally a semiconductor.
Durability Test
Both EIA-364-09 and MIL-STD-1334A Method 2016 describes the procedures of testing Durability of a connector. Purpose of the test is to determine the effects on the connector or on the contacts after subjecting it to a certain number of mating and unmating cycles (e.g. 10,000 cycles for Micro-USB connectors) at a specified rate, simulating the expected life of such connectors. At the completion of the specified number of mating and unmating cycles, the connector test specimen will be visually examined to see if there is any physical damage, wearing, displacement, bending, etc, or measuring some critical performance parameters, e.g. contact resistance, to see if the connector is maintaining its performance within the specification after the test.
Electrical circuits may have a direct physical connection to the Earth, a connection to ground helps limit the voltage, protecting circuit insulation from damage due to excessive voltage as well as limiting the build up of static electricity.

A memory card connector includes an insulating housing defining conductive terminal grooves and two locating grooves at a sidewall there of. A shelter shell coupled with the insulating housing to form a card cavity has a top section and two side sections. A front surface of the top section extends frontward and then extends downward to form two anti-mismating portions adjacent to the two side sections. The two anti-mismating portions have different width and vertical length. Conductive terminals are fixed in the conductive terminal grooves and soldered to a printed circuit board (PCB) for electrically engaging with corresponding contacts of a memory card inserted into the card cavity. A pair of switch terminals mounted in the locating grooves and soldered to the printed circuit board. One switch terminal is pressed outward by the memory card fully inserted into the card cavity, which causes the two switch terminals to contact with each other for grounding.
Multi Media Card (MMC) is a 7-pin miniature flash memory data storage system. It was released by Infineon / Siemens and SanDisk in 1997. Comparing to its earlier rival, Compact Flash (CF), which was released in 1994 by SanDisk, MMC is based on Toshiba's NAND flash memory architecture, rather than Intel's NOR flash memory architecture, which enables MMC to have a higher data density, and thus smaller card size & weight (24x32x1.4mm, weights about 2g) than the CF (43×36×3.3mm, weights about 10g). Because MMC was designed for lower power consumption, and wide supply of voltage range, it favours many battery-operated and mobile applications, such as digital camera, mobile phones, MP3 players, PDA, etc. It is later largely superseded by the introduction of the 9-pin Secure Digital (SD) memory card (card size: 24x32x2.1mm) in 2000. As a result, a typical SD card connector will also accommodate a MMC memory card, but not vice-versa.
Micro SD
Micro SD is the smallest Memory Card of SD (Secure Digital) Series and also the smallest Memory Card available on the market commercially. It is originally introduced by San Disk in 2004 called T-Flash or Trans-Flash, and was later adopted by the SDA (SD Card Association), with another name called Micro SD. Micro SD Card are backward compatible to SD enabled device by using appropriate adapter. It features a dimension of only 11mm (Width) by 15mm (Height) by 1mm (Thickness), which is much smaller comparing to the SD Card and makes it more suitable for smaller, next-generation portable devices.

Micro USB Connectors include both B and AB. Its reduced size makes it more suitable for smaller portable USB devices since they are 60% smaller than a Mini sub.
Mini USB
Mini USB Connectors include both Mini-A, Mini-AB (they were already deprecated by USB-IF in May 2007 and to be replaced by Micro-A, and Micro-AB Connectors), and Mini-B connectors (it was released by USB-IF as the first ECN, Engineering Change Note, of the USB2.0 Specification in October 2000). Initial purpose of releasing Mini-B USB connectors (plugs & receptacles) is to replace the "Standard B" USB connectors, because these device-side connectors seems to be too large for the newer generation of USB devices such as Smart-phones, PDA, Digital Cameras, MP3, etc. "Standard B" USB connector is around 8mm (Height) by 8mm (Width), while Mini B USB connector is only around 4mm (Height) by 7mm (Width). Its reduced size makes it more suitable for smaller portable USB devices.

To release it the SIM / memory card is pushed once more removing the lock mechanism, so the card can be removed.
REACH is the new regulation on Registration, Evaluation, Authorisation and Restriction of Chemicals and their safe use (EC 1907/006). Major objective of REACH is to set up a Registration, Evaluation, Authorisation, and Restriction system to identify production and excessive use of SVHC (Substances of Very High Concern, currently the candidate list is consisted of 15 substances) chemicals in articles that will have potential negative impacts on human health and the environment. The REACH Regulation had entered into force in 1 June 2007. Manufacturers and importers of SVHC substances of over 1 tonnes per year into EU are required to gather information on the properties of their chemical substances, and to register the information in a central database run by the European Chemical Agency. The Agency will manage the public database (consumers can find hazardous substances information there) and coordinate evaluation of suspicious chemicals. Unlike RoHS that only applies to electrical and electronic goods, REACH applies to all kinds of substances, preparation and articles that are produced or will be imported into EU.

In terms of circuit topology, number of poles of a switch is the number of the contact positions connecting to the circuit, while number of throws is the number of possible switching positions. The simplest type of switch is a SPST, Single Pole, Single Throw switch, which switches between "on" (make connection) and "off" (break connection) states. Switches are commonly found in Push-type SIM and Memory card connectors, e.g. there are Write Protect Detection Switch and Card Detect Switch inside a SD Memory card connector. During the insertion of the media card, switches are activated and switched, and an electrical signal is generated and recognized as "READ CARD".

Top Mount
When card entry is normal, i.e. contacts of the card are facing downward, if the card socket is mounted on the "Top" of the PCB board, it is said to be Top Mounted. In other words, when card entry is reversed, i.e. contacts of the card are facing upward, if the card socket is mounted on the bottom of the PCB board, it is said to be Top Mounted. It is sometimes called Standard Mount, because it is the most common standard mounting type nowadays. In terms of structure, in a Top Mount card socket, the contact terminals of the card socket are of the same horizontal plane as of the SMT pins, See the following diagram for details:
Universal Serial Bus (USB): A standard port that enables you to connect external devices (such as digital cameras, scanners, keyboards, & mice) to computers. USB ports are available as USB-A and USB-B (aka A type and B type) and are available as

UL 94 is the flaming rating of the flammability of a plastic. It is a measure of flame resistance, i.e. how quick an ignited flame on a burned specimen will come to be extinguished naturally. Depends on the orientation (horizontal and vertical) of the specimen during the flaming test, its material (plastic or foam), its thickness (e.g. thin material), and its flame retardancy, materials are rated and classified into 12 classes. UL94-V0 specifies if a vertical positioned specimen was burned for 10 seconds vertically at its bottom, it must stop burning within 10 seconds after the flame was removed, and it will not drip off particles that will ignite the cotton placed below it. 2 sets of 5 specimens are tested. UL94-V0 is the highest rating in the UL94 flammability test, e.g. UL94-V2 requires the vertically burned specimen stops burning within 30 seconds, while UL94-V0 requires it stops burning within 10 seconds) This standard is released by UL Laboratories, and is similar to IEC 60695-11-10.

Zero Insertion Force (ZIF), describes a kind of female socket, when a male component is being inserted, only "zero" or very negligible force is needed for insertion and extraction. It is firstly used in IC Socket, when the Process Pin Count is high, the total insertion or extraction force will be high enough to break the soldered connections or even the PCB itself. ZIF Socket was thus invented, with a lever, or a notch, or a slider, or a latch, when it is opened, the sprung contacts inside the socket were pushing apart, and inserting the male component, e.g. a Flat Flex Cable, therefore requires almost no pressure at all. When the latch is closed, it causes the contacts to close and grip the contacts of the male component, and thus secure the connection. Compared to the simpler LIF Socket, Low Insertion Force Socket, ZIF Socket takes up more space owing to the additional slider or the drawbar, and thus cost more. It is often used in high pin density applications, where non-zero insertion forces will accumulate to become a damaging effect. Therefore, ZIF socket is more durable and can withstand larger number of mating cycles.

Oklahoma City could benefit from women's separate Big 12 basketball tournament
Used to be, Texas A&M's Gary Blair was the only women's basketball coach who trumpeted the Big 12 staging its men's and women's tournaments in separate cities.
When the Big 12 women's coaches convened last week in Dallas, others joined the chorus and the thought of breaking away from the men's tournament was discussed more than ever before.
Oklahoma coach Sherri Coale noted the Big 12 has led the nation in women's attendance for 11 straight seasons. "We owe it to ourselves to at least explore any options we might have," Coale said. "We've proven we can draw the crowds."
The women aren't drawing fans because of the men. Big 12 officials estimate there are only 1,000 crossover fans during the men's and the women's tournaments for all schools combined.
The men's and women's tournaments have been held simultaneously in the same city since the inception of Big 12 basketball in 1996-97. Nine tournaments have been held in Kansas City, three in Dallas and two in Oklahoma City.
Two of the three largest attendance totals for the women's tournament occurred when the event was held at the Cox Convention Center (2007 and 2009).
If the women's tournament were to break away from the men, it would offer the Big 12 a scenario of three anchor positions for championship games in football, men's basketball and women's basketball.
The football game would be staged every year at Cowboys Stadium in Arlington, Texas; the men's basketball tournament would be held in Kansas City; and the women's basketball tournament in Oklahoma City.
The women's tournament wants to be the center of attention and doesn't want to get lost in a pro town, which eliminates large metropolitan areas such as Dallas, Houston, San Antonio and Denver as potential sites. On-campus facilities also are not an option.
Oklahoma City fits the desired description, as do Tulsa and Wichita, Kan.
The Big Eight women's basketball tournament was a hit when held in Salina, Kan., at the Bicentennial Center, which seats 7,583.
Depending how well the WNBA Shock is received in Tulsa, staging the Big 12 women's tournament at the BOK Center could become an option, although the town's two major colleges are from Conference USA and the Summit League.

Can you order direct from uThere or from retail outlets? IMHO landing to perfection doesn't concern me in the least- to have my plane land at my feet even if broken from a rough autonomous landing seems incredible to me- and very affordable fpv insurance, so for me personally, further landing perfection by ultrasound or otherwise is an extravagance I don't require, but no doubt would be embraced by others. So, would future features like ultrasound be an add-on board like eg OSD? And looking at their website of supported planes, is this purely for configuring autonomous landings? And does anyone know if the Ruby will be suceptable to gas engine vibrations? Questions for the Ruby I don't know if anyone has answers to as yet... I'm still open to suggestions for RTH/AP... is the FY unit reliable these days, or is the Ruby the one to wait for.... |

"Limitations Range Ruby does not limit flight range when flying under aided or manual control. In event of control signal loss or panic switch activation, Ruby will return the aircraft to home location from several miles range. Under automous modes, Ruby has a factory programmed 3000 foot range, beyond which it will attempt to return home. Please contact firstname.lastname@example.com if you need longer range and have a suitable remote location. Use outside of the United States Ruby's guidance system is not particularly well suited for military uses, until export regulations are clarified, Ruby will only be shipped to USA addresses, and Ruby's IMU and navigation systems will be configured to only function inside the continental United States, Alaska, and Hawaii. Please contact firstname.lastname@example.com to be notified when we are able to ship outside the USA" Soooo.... living in Australia means I can't make a legitimate purchase, and being restricted to 3000'/ 1km, seems for me the FY is looking like a more viable option... |

If it isn't that it could be how you are grounding everything. If there isn't a common place from where everything is grounding that too can create noise. lastly you have to make sure that no power cables go near your video feed cables. Even if you have a filter, making sure that all the cables are away from each other can clean it up quickly. hope that helps. |

I actually moved far away from any possible antenna, and the video feed was much better, even if I didnt feel confident enough to bring the plane higher than 200 meters... I had some visual reference with the ground and the osd helped get the plane heading towards me as I wanted to land, but missed the landing direction and ended up landing with a lot of tail wind, which made the plane overshhot by 200 meters, so I managed to find the plane watching the video feed get better or worse as I walked around this huge field... About the range test you suggested, I'm sure you are talking about a fully extended antenna to be used in such case... With the antenna collapsed and video TX on, I get maybe 60 meters... which I feel is quite poor. I got a different RC radio (a Multiplex) which I heard performs much better, but so far got no time to program it, maybe using it + its rx will get better range... Anyway, the feeling of losing the video feed, even if for just a fraction of a second, is total fear... and I'm thinking of getting an antenna tracker with a high gain patch antenna... |

I get dropouts when flying right over head, but no drop outs at all out to the side (1km away and 300m high). I can fly easily out to 1.5km with just a little video noise. This is with stock bazooka dipole antennas (thicker bottom half, thinner top half antenna) on 700mw power on 1280mhz with receiver (antenna directly attached) mounted on top of 2m plastic pole and both antennas (tx and rx) vertical. Receiver on top of pole helps for "line of sight" issue. Video signal cannot pass through anything but air. Not people, not cars, not tree trunks, not much tree leaves. I have finally gotten used to the dropouts that happen when I fly right overhead. Note that I do not fly high when I am over head, so the dropout does not last long. If you were flying 1km high and straight up, the dropout would last way too long. Try flying out to the side, not over head. Cliff |

After two days camping the toddlers were filthy and the thought of bringing them into the not-so-pristine camping shower with one of us seemed horrific. Thank goodness we bought a two in one camping bin/bathtub. We heated water on the stove while they were roasting marshmallows and they were thrilled with their jacuzzi. Camping would be so much better if they made these in grown-up size.

Hubby's idea-I thought so too. Thanks Heather:)
I'm still laughing about your ingenuity. I've come back to this picture in my mind's eye a dozen times in the past 24-48 hours, laughing to myself. I enjoy everything you write about.
Thanks for the entertainment.

First of all, big thanks to Angel for bravely taking over recapping duties while I was out of town for work. I wish I had told her that I was gone for four weeks. Seriously, can you believe this shit isn't over yet? EPISODE 20!!!! It's really gotten out of control. I am celebrating this penultimate episode of Loser with a very special guest, my penultimate box of Girl Scout cookies. Oh, Peanut Butter Patties -- you will forever be known to me as Tagalongs. And as my one true love.
Anyway, here on Purgatory Ranch, people were once really fat. I know! Crazy. Jay was fat. Irene was fat. Olivia was fat. Even Hannah was fat. And they were all really sad, thus belying that old "jolly" stereotype. Then Jillian screamed at them, and Bob screamed at them, and Jillian screamed at them some more, and they all got skinnier and happier. We get the total weight loss rundown. Olivia has lost 108 pounds. Jay has lost 154 pounds. Irene has lost 108 pounds. Hannah has lost 98 pounds. Sami congratulates these contestants on being the final four, and they all celebrate by saying the words "final four" ad infinitum.
Back at the house, Hannah and Olivia collapse on their beds in a really girly way and then high five at their accomplishment of being half of the final four. Olivia says that the Purple Team stands for all of the people who don't fit in some perfect box of looking like a champion or an athlete or whatever. They're just regular girls who like monkey bread and gave 100% effort and are now hot, with maybe the exception of Hannah's unfortunate makeover hair. Ken Paves should be fired from all of TV for that.
The final four enter the gym and are celebrated by Bob and Jillian for variously keeping their team together, persevering after their teammate was eliminated in the first week, or being eliminated and then coming back. But enough with the chit chat! It's time for ass whipping. Jillian points out that there's one weigh-in left and two guaranteed spots in the finale. The contestants have to work, and so they do. Bob tells Olivia that an opera singer isn't supposed to be in the final four -- the Olympic athlete is. Olivia tells us that she's always been a great starter but has historically had problems finishing strong. This time, she's determined to change that. Bob notes that people came in feeling gung ho, but when it got hard three months in they bailed. But Olivia pushed forward. Bob loves Olivia a whole bunch and tells us that she kicked into overdrive about six weeks ago and has been taking names since then. Olivia really is pretty kick-ass. She says that she's changed on the inside, and her transformation on the outside is just a product of her internal transformation.

Lauri's Reviews > Tinkers
by Paul Harding
by Paul Harding
The beautifully rich language wasn't enough to save this book. The character development never really evolved enough to make you care about either one. While I could see the attempt at connecting the main character's life (George) with his father's (Howard), enough parallels were never made. Instead, the jumping back and forth seemed to interrupt the previous person's story rather than build on it or relate to it. I was very disappointed that the incredibly gorgeous writing devolved, over the course of the book, to flowery wordiness. The story development seems to have been lost in the workings of artful wording.

Brilliant video about being alone
Support During Suicide, Feeling Passionate Grief, and Finding Hope
A friend of mine told me today she lost her friend's father to suicide. It was completely unexpected. Why, she asks? How did we not know? How does this happen?
Suicide is such a mystery. Sometimes there are signs, other times there aren't. No matter how hard we try, we can not save another person. The bottom line is they must want and know how to save themselves.
The unfortunate thing is that most people don't know how to ask for that help – don't feel comfortable asking for it. Instead they act out, running from the pain, in the end making it only worse because usually that acting out has negative consequences.
Mood-factory Color Advisor Denise Turner Talks Art Therapy
Did you know that art can be therapeutic? This comes to no surprise to museum goers, who have a visual and emotional experience when viewing art. Aware of the importance of art, color and design on people's health and well being, who are at the forefront are an amazing group of "Art Therapists."
With the rising health care costs and overworked medical staff, there's is greater demand, to fill the void between medical professionals and patients. With the increased acceptance of complementary medicine Art Therapists are filling the void.

Race Results
Tour Of Montreal
Montreal, Canada
Stage 1 Stage 2 Stage 3 Stage 4 Final GC
Terrebonne, Québec,
June 4, 2003 – Neither Saturn nor RONA/Esker could take away the
yellow jersey from T Mobile's Amber Neben.
But it was not because they did not try.
At the end of the day, the general classification did not change – it
was Neben, Lyne Bessette (Saturn) and Magali Le Floc'h (RONA/Esker), in that
With Bessette and Le
Floc'h lagging behind by 2 and 13 seconds respectively at the start of the
fourth and last stage of the Tour du Grand Montréal, both teams came to
Terrebonne with long teeth.
On a ten-km course
offering merely one short hill to be climbed eight times, it was clear that time
bonuses would be the key.
With a two-second deficit, Bessette had a real possibility to gain one
place and win. While
Le Floc'h, with 13 seconds to gain, faced a very tall order and her chance to
win seemed more theoretical – she had to win both hot spot sprints AND the
stage if she wanted to have a shot at the yellow jersey.
Margin for error:
zero. But
the RONA/Eskers did try and the team supported the French champion.
Besides general
classification, which exacerbated the rivalry between T Mobile, Saturn and
RONA/Esker, many teams wanted the stage so they would not leave Montreal
empty-handed. So
from start to finish, it was attack upon attack.
Jeanson, who was
protecting her Queen of the Mountain jersey, won the first QOM sprint, and then
started to work to lead out Le Floc'h to the first hot spot sprint.
The French champion won decisively and grabbed a three-second bonus.
But Neben placed second, reducing Le Floc'h's net gain to one second.
T Mobile controlled the
field perfectly and nobody could get out who wore RONA/Esker's blue or
Saturn's yellow.
They merely let a few S.A.T.S and Basis Women's take more than 7 or 8
seconds on the pack.
In the end, it was Lithuanian Diana Ziliute (Acca Due o Pasta) who
managed to win the final sprint and the stage, in front of Regina Schleicher
(German Nationals) and Australian Rochelle Gilmore (Ausra Gruodis-Safi).
It was not enough to change anything in general classification, and the
list of leaders remained unchanged from yesterday.
Jeanson confirmed her
green Queen of the Mountain jersey, and Ziliute won the points classification;
Canadian Sue Palmer Komar earned the "best 35-years old or more" jersey.
"We had a good
Tour", said Jeanson after the race. "The team did an awesome quantity and
quality of work, and we have a lot to show for it:
two RONA/Eskers among the top five in G.C., two stage wins out of four,
the mountain jersey, nothing to be ashamed of.
If you add our performance at the World Cup, we had an excellent week in
Montreal, in fact much better than last year!"

When a bus driver takes a break from his route, a very unlikely volunteer springs up to take his place-a pigeon! But you've never met one like this before. As he pleads, wheedles, and begs his way through the book, children will love being able to answer back and decide his fate. In his hilarious picture book debut, popular cartoonist Mo Willems perfectly captures a preschooler's temper tantrum.
A delightful story about a pigeon who is determined to get what he wants. Simple text, large font and a book a pre-schooler or kindergartener will want to have you read over and over again to the point where they will be able to "read" it themselves.
My 9 year old grandaughter loves this book, she has read it to me several time, she giggles everytime she reads it . It is a great book for children of all ages

Little progress today.
After making room for the motor wires. The foam was pretty thin at the top, So in goes another CF strip. Just in case. When I ran my F-16 at ~1,9-2Kw it broke in half mid flight, just at the fan. So a few extra grams is worth the piece of mind. I considering whipping out the hack saw and doing something about my canopy. That's gonna set me back some time. I've ditched the intake liner idea, and going back to glassing the area, and making a front and rear fairing for the ESC. I need to have the FAN/ESC easily removable. |

I've used different combinations of. ...A wood or carbon tounge in front ...magnets ...Tape.. ..."Best Latch" latches. GLM's plastic formed ones with screws adds too much drag (at the screw slots) for High speeds.( you should use them on yours) Haven't decided on this one yet. |
Jan 28, 2010, 08:17 AM | |
i did pick one up, and trying to follow the reinforcement process. but i am not good at glassing nor expert building., but here goes,,, carbon fiber 3 rods in nose cone, 2 rods x'ed out. and now starting the glassing.,
knife, i saw in earlier posts you used a primer to cover airframe, if you would pass on the info, does it have to be a specific kind? |
Jan 28, 2010, 10:32 AM | |
Don't rush into it too fast! Finish your tronics install first! Then I'd block sand the bottom carefully, vacuum off and fill the trenches with some balsa rite and sand again. Now one trick I picked up recently is after I get it fine sanded I'll brush on polycrylic, let dry and fine sand again(better the sub surface the better the final finish will be) then its ready to glass. The poly helps seal the pours so the poxy resin doesn't get so heavy on application. Various ways work for glassing but I like to use a piece of 1/64 ply or thin flexi plastic for a squeegee. I smooth the glass first by hand and dab here and there to secure it then working from the center out start adding resin and squeegeeing it along. Keep a paper tower with alcohol on hand for your fingers and you'll be fine. Keep your squeegee clean and be neat as possible it will go fast. The final squeeg leaves the weave showing with a dull surface! Thats what you want! Blot with a dry paper towel in constrained areas and check for bubbles after it starts to harden in 20min or so just push em down with a wet finger tip. I use Z-Poxie finishing resin and 1oz Rx cups with the increments on the sides for mixing. I have access to a multitude of polymers(S'glass,E'glass,carbon mat,mixed weaves etc) here in the area as there is a ton of boat and yacht business around for you guys that are in dire need.

How's your build coming along guys?
Not much goin' on here so I though I'd post what's gotta be the best bargan in EDFs. The Mylar thrust Tube. "Never leave home with out it"
every jet that comes along gets one whether or not the kit came with one. They're cheap, easy, light, and customizable. It's easy to make very acuuarte ones with the free app, Cone Layout. http://www.pulserate.com/ The pic of the flat pattern is pretty boring, but for a speedy jet, it's all about the efflux. I usually paint mine up with an afterburner effect, without the lights. Tamyia for Polycarbonate rattle can paint is great for this, as it's flexible, and won't flake off if you bend it. The one in the pic is from an old F-16 (RIP) I'll do a better job on the tailcone feathers this time. |
Jan 31, 2010, 10:49 AM | |
You mentioned latches for the duct. I was thinking a glassed fillet on the tunnel and counter sunk screws. Or how about a saw tooth style. Be nice to get someone to laser some g10
Latest blog entry: The new blog format really stinks guys
Jan 31, 2010, 08:29 PM | |
Here is the white painted Thrust Tube temporarily installed, along with the still clear, Tail Cone.
I forgot to paint the "afterburner" colors on the outside first, so it has a high gloss for reflection on the inside. Oh well, to late. I'm not making another. I'll paint the inside instead. It's a race, not a beauty contest. |
Jan 31, 2010, 09:12 PM | |
Thrust Tube painted, and ready to install on the EDF assy. Rattle can paint fogging comes out grainy, but it's fine for me, here.
None of the exterior will be seen when it's installed in the jet. I coated the interior of the black fogging with flat clear so it doesn't wipe off. ................................... Added the now painted Tail Cone. I think I'll leave of the adjustable "Feathers". |
Jan 31, 2010, 11:09 PM | |
Here's the ESC/EDF/Thrust Tube assy. It goes in and out of the jet like this. The ESC can be unplugged from the EDF. (some folks solder the wires, but I prefer the ease maintenance this way.
The EDF and tailcone are shown temporarily installed. I decided against the intake liner. Just gonna glass the intake area and make some removable ESC fairings, for ease of removal. |

Read More The Antonines - Antonius, Pius, Marcus Aurelius, Lucius Verus and Commodus - played a crucial part in the development of the Roman Empire, controlling its huge machine for half a century of its most testing period. Theirs was a period when art and literature were flourishing. It was also a time of social and political change, and there are still many unanswered questions: did the Antonines' rule contain the seeds of later decay? How did the Christians fare? Was Commodus as bad as he was made out to be? Michael Grant examines these issues with clarity and skill. The importance of the Antonines is manifold, but it mainly lies in the fact that they represented an age of transition'. They were playing gigantic parts in the massive historical drama that was unfolding, a drama which was destined to transform the Roman Empire from its ancient mould and bring it into the Middle Ages. Michael Grant is one of the world's greatest writers on ancient history. He has had a distinguished academic career, most recently as Vice-Chancellor of Queen's University, Belfast, and has published over fifty books. Read Less
