Thus, for a particular sample, one can say with specified confidence that the average of all possible samples is included in the constructed interval.
A condominium apartment building is classified with apartment buildings in structures with five units or more, despite the fact that each unit is individually owned.
In concept, measurement is based on exterior dimensions. Measurements are taken to the outside of exterior walls for detached houses. Builders sometimes provide the gross square footage (based on exterior dimensions) of a detached structure. This footage usually does not contain unfinished space. However, in townhouses, the gross square footage often includes the whole lower level, even though that area might include a garage and unfinished rooms. For purposes of these statistics, where the floor area for a new house was reported based on interior dimensions, the figure is converted to exterior dimensions by multiplying by a standard conversion factor of 1.08. A standard conversion factor of 1.04 is used to convert figures to exterior dimensions where it was not known whether the reported area was based on exterior or interior dimensions.
Associated living space is defined as hallways, elevator space, lobbies, and any other indoor space used by the residents.
Square footage for mixed-use multifamily buildings is defined as the square footage of the residential portion of the structure only.
This does not include outdoor amenities, such as fireplaces or swimming pools.

Christian Rock Gets With the Beat
It's the fastest-growing segment of the industry, thanks to groups like the Newsboys, Reality Check, Third Day
Jenny Michaud and her younger sister Dana no longer hide their love of Christian rock music. Their favorite group, the Newsboys, is popular with their friends and acquaintances, unlike bands they previously championed.
"It's music that you can take someplace else, and not everybody will think, 'Oh, that's Christian music. I don't want to listen to it,' " says Jenny Michaud.
The Michaud sisters were among thousands of fans attending the alternative rock venue of Joyfest '97, an annual Christian music event at Paramount's Great America theme park in Santa Clara, Calif. The one-day festival is a showcase of some of Christian music's top groups, as well as bands that are climbing the charts.
Boundaries between Christian and mainstream rock have blurred almost beyond recognition. Twenty years ago, "Jesus Music" was pioneered by groups like Petra, which played heavy, rock-oriented songs in church basements, then preached to those who stayed after the concert.
These days, Christian alternative bands like Jars of Clay open for Sting in big arenas and have their hit songs played on MTV and VH1.
"Christian music has diversified," says Warren Pettit, music professor at Greenville College, a school near St. Louis that offers courses in contemporary Christian music. "There are an increasing number of bands now that have mainstream visibility."
Jars of Clay got its start at Greenville College, but it's places like Nashville and New York that have come to symbolize the dramatic changes in Christian music - Nashville because that's where Christian rock's prominent labels are based, and New York, because that's where the parent companies of those labels are headquartered.
Previously independent labels like ForeFront and Sparrow are now in the hands of major, secular companies; EMI, BMG, and Sony all own Christian labels now. Professor Pettit says the marketing muscle of those corporations helps explain why so many Christian bands are now crossing over into the mainstream.

Real Reviews
Real reviews from fellow travellers
These are trusted reviews from guests who have actually stayed here. We hope you find them helpful.
Note: we only give a property a rating once it has received a minimum of 3 reviews.
- " Interesting and colorful place to stay. India House is like separate world, small and magic village in the city of New Orleans. Public areas could be more clean and renovated but it wasn't bad. They have a pool, but do not try to swim in it during the night - strict rules about it. I would recommend for sure! "
- 24 Aug 2014 Zuzanna Poland
- " Staff seemed to not enjoy their job. "
- 03 Aug 2014 Marte Netherlands
- " Generally hostel meets my expectations. I slept in 4-person room. In room were, new shower and restroom, room was clean an air-conditioned. Outside there were many open space with branches to seat, water pool, bar with TV. "
- 05 Jul 2014 Maciej Poland
- " The place was fairly decent for the price and location. Given the number of people coming and going, the facilities were well kept and safe. Did not realize people checked in at all hrs (someone arrived in the dorm room at 3 or 4am and turned the lights on to get settled in!). This was a nuisance the first night. Staff were very laid back; some seemed not very concerned about/responsive to issues (e.g. a stopped up toilet, a huge beetle in the bathroom that creeped out another guest). "
- 02 Jul 2014 Anonymous USA
- " unfortunately we had some Problems with our shower and sink. The water wouldn't run out and it became very smelly. Also I haven't been satisfied with the cleanliness and staff. I wouldn't say they were unfriendly, but only one woman was sympathetic and helpful to us. "
- 20 Jun 2014 Kerstin Germany
- " Love the pool! Didn't like having to pay for my towel but every hostel has its own system.... "
- 20 Jun 2014 James Ireland
- " A lot of dead quiet gypsy types were there, weird.The staff cool, place had awesome uniqueness. The private double bed room was a bunk bed with horrible cheap green rough blankets that made us itch. Impressive private bathroom, small but new, very clean, very nice. Location was a little out of the way but trolly made up for it. Delicious meals were cooked on site for around $5-$6. Would maybe go there again- dorm instead because the private rooms had thin walls, could here everything around :( "
- 14 Jun 2014 Anonymous USA
- " I marked average for all things that I am not really at liberty to discuss given my experience. Essentially, my flight got delayed so I called and said I would not be checking in for my first of three nights. I had booked a private twin room. They said okay, and asked if I would be available the next day. I said that weather permitting, I would be. I spent the whole day on an airplane only to arrive to a very rude clerk who said she had given up my room, and blamed me for not getting in touch. "
- 13 Jun 2014 Anonymous USA
- " For what we paid I didn't expect much but the linen on the beds were really not clean, there was marks all over them and they smelled. It was also disappointing that no towels were provided. "
- 12 Jun 2014 Jade Australia
- " The hostel definitely had an awesome atmosphere. I stayed in a private room for 8 days for very inexpensive and had a blast. The restrooms/showers/room were clean, but the kitchen was disgusting. I suggest not planning on cooking in the hostel if you can help it. Otherwise, the staff was great and my experience there was amazing. "

Electronic Arts has a good companion piece in FIFA Street
Pretend the first three FIFA Street games didn't exist. Well, that's what Electronic Arts wants you to do anyway, because it has just rebooted the franchise with Lionel Messi on the cover. What's more, the game doesn't have those silly cartoon graphics any more, and it's realistic. As realistic as a game that's based entirely on show-boating can be, anyway. But isn't that what makes football interesting? That, and Brazilians. FIFA Street gives you both. Interested yet?
As you would expect, FIFA Street is all about dribbling and juggling your way past the entire opposition in a fashion that would have any modern-day coach fuming with anger. It's about selfishness, indulgence and other things that don't involve passing the ball when a clear-cut chance presents itself. And FIFA Street rewards you for it. Across its several games modes, including five-a-side football, panna, futsal, as well as custom game modes (where you set the rules) and a particularly interesting one in which you lose a player for every goal you score, skill moves are almost as valuable as the goals you score — sometimes more valuable. Apart from the huge roster of real-life squads and players, the game features twice as many moves as its more serious cousin, FIFA 12, and thanks to some great animation, looks nearly twice as good when its players are getting their game on. The game rewards attacking play, but seems to ignore the defensive aspect of football entirely, so you'll get a 100 points for accidentally beating a player with a flick of the stick, but make an incredible interception or last-minute tackle and the game doesn't even acknowledge it.
A nice set of locations across continents offers as much aesthetic variety as the game modes themselves. As for the skill moves, the game coaches you with the basics (via tutorial videos), but you'll learn the bulk of them only by unlocking them during your time with the game's "World Tour" or career mode. Unfortunately, the career mode disappoints. The game allows you to create a player and play alongside several other created players in competitions that start local and go global. The character progression system feels tedious and levelling up each individual member of your squad is quite the chore. Unlocking skill moves and upgrading abilities requires points that you earn during games, but the system doesn't feel balanced or well-paced. However, an interesting feature remains hidden behind the walls of the game's career mode — one that allows you to add your friends' characters to your squad. FIFA Street's online modes don't allow you to play with international/club squads either, so you'll have to work on getting your custom squad's abilities and skills up to scratch if you want to start winning games online.
FIFA Street will not only appeal to fans of the FIFA series, but also to those who would like to see complex layers of strategy removed from their virtual football experience. That doesn't mean strategy is altogether stripped; its tone is changed, with strong emphasis on skill moves and one-on-one situations. The shift from cartoon-styled visuals to a relatively more realistic look is a welcome change as well, while slick animations make the fancy football juggling look impressive. Despite a lacklustre career mode, variety is present in several distinct game modes that range from panna to traditional futsal, resulting in an addictive single or multiplayer experience with the skill-based system proving to be the driving force behind the gameplay. In what has been a trademark for EA Sports for several years now, FIFA Street sports a superb roster of international and club teams (most of which are instantly accessible at the start), but the game seems to hold back unlocks, reserving them only for those who invest a lot of time in the career mode. Overall, it's a good companion piece, if not a spectacular standalone experience.
FIFA Street is available on PS3 and Xbox 360.

Hey everybody, I put a thread out about carrying at work not too long ago. I work in Lakewood Wa. where the 4 police officers were shot. Not that great of a neighborhood. Got some great advice about carrying at work even though company policy is against it. Well, talked to the boss as suggested.. Was told "if we cant see it, dont worry about it".. So.. Here is my dilemma.. I am around at least 250 people a day. Hip holster is fine when a little chilly. Shoulder holster when cold weather hits.. But for summer, I am thinking a concealed carry vest.. Yes, I am old enough and grumpy enough that no one will ask about it. Any suggestions on brands ? There are so many. I've looked for hours.. Carry Arm Taurus PT111Pro Has anybody here used one ?

I don't like vests either. The ones I've seen aren't great and anybody with a bit of experience will know you're carrying. Give pocket carry some thought. It works really well for me in the hot Buenos Aires summer, my office is VERY pro-gun (I'm the boss!) but still I like to be as discreet as possible. A nice snubnose revolver carries very well in a pocket holster and, with some practice, you can get a quick draw.

Niagara's were a line of quality cruising boats built in St Cathernes ON near Niagara Falls. The primary owner was George Hinterhoeller who previously was a partner in C& C.
I vaguely remember them building a few like that, no idea of how many but not a lot. Mark Ellis designed a lot of their boats such as the Nonsuch line and I think their fairly well known Niagara 35.

It's the Art All Night-Trenton Iron Pour! You remember the spectacle in 2010... Now be one of the fans who help bring it back in 2012!
About this project
The Art All Night-Trenton 2012 Iron Pour once again reunites the forces of Art All Night - Trenton with the AbOmInOg Intl. Arts Collective, who first worked with Art All Night in 2010. That year, the crew from AbOmInOg Intl. amazed spectators by forging steel live throughout the night, as one-story-high orange flames enveloped Trenton's urban backdrop. This year's Art All Night-Trenton festival marks the second historic collaboration between these two dynamic art forces as they once again bring the mesmerizing art of a live iron pour to inner-city Trenton.
Your donation to this Kickstarter campaign will ensure AbOmInOg Intl. can once again thrill onlookers with their unique craft at Art All Night-Trenton 2012. Those who pledge, will walk away with an incredible, newly-forged and fresh-from-the-flames commemorative medallion that will actually be created at Art All Night - Trenton as you, and thousands of onlookers, watch it all happen right before your eyes.
The Art All Night - Trenton 2012 Commemorative Limited Edition Medallion (limited to 50 pieces)
What is Art All Night - Trenton?
Art All Night-Trenton is a 24-hour long arts extravaganza occurring annually on the 3rd weekend in June. AAN encourages any artist of any age, medium or skill level to submit one piece of art of their own creation for display in a gallery-like setting. It is free to submit art and free to attend. At Art All Night-Trenton 2011, nearly 900 artists of all ages, skill levels and mediums submitted work and more than 13,000 people attended!
Art All Night-Trenton is a catalyst for community development, shining a spotlight on our region's artistic talent. The show includes and attracts artists of all ages and skill levels and particularly encourages children and amateur artists to be actively involved by contributing artwork and engaging in on-site activities.
Art All Night-Trenton has 5 major goals:
- Empower artists who would normally not have an opportunity to showcase their artwork in public with a venue to do so
- Build community by encouraging people of all different lifestyles, races and incomes to interact
- Foster social networking between creative people who have an interest in improving Trenton
- Showcase Trenton's great architecture and development-ripe buildings
- Market Artworks' classes, exhibitions, events, and volunteer opportunities.
Art All Night-Trenton is presented by ArtWorks, Trenton's downtown visual arts center. ArtWorks promotes artistic diversity by fostering creativity, learning, and appreciation of the arts. Our classes, exhibitions, and events make art an accessible experience for all. ArtWorks is a 501c3 non-profit organization serving the Trenton community for 27 years. The City of Trenton provides use of its Everett Alley facility to Artworks under the auspices of the department of Public Property and Recreation, Natural Resources and Culture in order to foster a thriving and diverse arts community.
Hundreds of Art All Night-Trenton volunteers help to recruit artists, attract patrons, prepare the venue, assist with the registration and hanging of artwork, provide refreshments, direct traffic, clean-up, and much, much more. Live music throughout the event is also donated by some of the area's finest performers!
The work of community volunteers is generously supported by a range of supporters and donors. Art All Night-Trenton is also sustained through the strictly voluntary donations of guests, whose support is critical to the success of this event.
Due to the extended cooling process required for these unique medallions, pickup will occur on Sunday, June 17 at Art All Night (675 South Clinton Avenue, Trenton, NJ) anytime between 10am - 3pm. If you are unable to pick up your medallion during those hours, we will relocate it to Artworks (19 Everett Alley, Trenton, NJ) for you to pick up at a later date.
Have a question? If the info above doesn't help, you can ask the project creator directly.

It's important to note that the "establishment" views adherence to the Constitution as political extremism. It's a strange world we live in when the Bill of RIghts is considered a rabid right-wing position. The Unitary Executive takes it one step further and advises law enforcement via it's Fusion Centers that those supporting and defending the Constitution are potential terrorists that should be detained and questioned based on their political beliefs.
Have a great Memorial Day!

Not sure how they're an expert, but they are 100% correct. A "LOCA" or a "DBA-LOCA" is NOT what happened here. A "Design Based Accident - Loss Of Coolant Accident" would be a shear in a Recirc Line. What happened here is probably a gasket or O-Ring failure. That's something totally different. Either way, its a simple fix, and no danger to the public.

Hey, everybody. Three episodes left. Can we make it? I'm going to say yes.
A dark back road. A sporty car is barreling down the street. Inside, two teens are pretty frantic. The girl in the passenger seat is on the phone, telling someone that she needs help and that there isn't enough time. She screams. We pull back to show that her belly, full of baby, is ready to burst. The boy, who is driving, grabs the phone and yells at the person on the other end of the line, telling them that this is an emergency. "It's too late, it's too late," the girl says. Suddenly, her belly starts to glow. She's a Glo-Worm Mommy! The belly glows greenish yellow, then pink. "It's coming!" she cries. The driver is like, "Hooooooly shit!" He swerves off the road, smartly hits a gnarly branch, and ends up stopping the car in an empty green field. It's hard to tell if it's the girl's belly or her hoo-ha that's glowing. If it's not her belly, I can tell you that she might have a bright future career in the entertainment industry. She cries to the driver, "What's happening to me?" Dude is like, "I, uh...GROSS!" Her belly continues glowing, but now there's something thumping to get out. "I'm sorry!" the guy says and runs out of the car. See ya! Sent me a text message and let me know where you're registered, 'kay? She screams for him not to leave, but it's too late. Papa is a rolling stone. The glow goes nuclear. The mother screams. The light turns into a crazy blast of illumination. It spills onto the road, even. Ew, light-based afterbirth! It seems to cover the pavement in misty birth muss. A car on the road brakes suddenly and stops. Inside the car: one Miss Lana Lang (on her driver's license, it says, "Hair: Pretty, preternatural") and one Mr. Clark Kent, doofus-at-large. They like each other again. Clark asks if she's all right. Lana says yeah, and asks what that was just now. Clark thinks it must have come from Evans Field. Or from his pants.
We cut to a crater's-eye view of Clark and Lana approaching a giant hole. Hey, it's almost a metaphor for the gaping quagmire that is Season 4! Jump in, Lana! The Superman Music of Discovery is playing. In the mist inside the crater, a baby cries. Clark and Lana look at each other. To my complete and utter surprise, Lana does actually jump in the hole. "Lana, wait!" Clark calls. She whips off her blue scarf and rushes down. Lana's scarf has magically transformed into a blue blanket that neatly swaddles the tiny baby. Great Gerber! Lana and Clark stare at each other. Clark thinks, stupidly, "Uh, is it mine?" The camera pulls back dramatically as Lana and Clark stand inside the crater. Back. Back. A little bit further back, please? All right. We can see now that it's a pretty big crater. Opening credits.

US 4753631 A Abstract A centrifuge rotor is characterized by a pair of magnetically attractive segments which are located between a clamping knob on an axially extending mounting bolt and the body of the rotor. The bolt holds the rotor to a drive spindle with a predetermined clamping force. As the rotor is rotated past a predetermined rotational speed the attractive force between the segments is overcome to cause the segments to displace apart thereby diminishing the magnitude of the clamping force holding the rotor in its connection to the drive spindle.
Claims(8) 1. In a centrifuge rotor rotatable about an axis of rotation, the rotor being of the type having a body portion with a central axial bore that receives a mounting bolt which is engageable into a drive spindle thereby to connect the rotor to a source of motive energy, the mounting bolt having an enlarged clamping knob at the upper end thereof, the improvement comprising:
a chamber disposed in the body of the rotor; a pair of spacer segments disposed in the chamber between the clamping knob and the body of the rotor, the segments being responsive to centrifugal force to displace from a first position to a second position, in the first position the segments are located between the knob and the rotor body and cooperate therewith to clamp the rotor with a predetermined clamping force into engagement with the spindle, while in the second position the segments are spaced from their initial positions to diminish the magnitude of the clamping force; and means for securing the segments together in the first position with a predetermined attractive force, the means being responsive to centrifugal force as the rotor is rotated to a predetermined speed to release the segments and to permit them to displace to the second position. 2. The rotor of claim 1 wherein the chamber has a surface therein and the segments each have an undersurface thereon and wherein the undersurface of the segments and the surface of the chamber on which the segments are received are bevelled to define abutting cam surfaces therebetween.
3. The rotor of claim 2 wherein the segments are magnetized and wherein the holding force is derived from the forces of magnetic attraction between the segments.
4. The rotor of claim 1 wherein the segments are magnetized and wherein the holding force is derived from the forces of magnetic attraction between the segments.
5. The rotor of claim 4 wherein, in the first position, the segments are in engaged relation with each other.
6. The rotor of claim 3 wherein, in the first position, the segments are in engaged relation with each other.
7. The rotor of claim 2 wherein, in the first position, the segments are in engaged relation with each other.
8. The rotor of claim 1 wherein, in the first position, the segments are in engaged relation with each other.
Description The present invention relates to a centrifuge rotor having an axially extending mounting bolt to couple the rotor to its drive, and, in particular, to such a centrifuge rotor having an speed limiting arrangement thereon. A centrifuge rotor is a relatively massive member adapted to expose a sample of a liquid to a centrifugal force field. To create the force field the rotor is rotated to a relatively high rotational speed. All centrifuge instruments should be designed to contain all fragments resulting from the burst of any rotor designed to be used in that instrument. Rotor bursts can result from several causes: (1) manufacturing defects; (2) user abuse; (3) corrosion; (4) fatigue; or (5) failure of electronic speed limiting systems to limit the speed of the rotor to its maximum safe operating speed. In the first four causes listed rotor burst would occur at speeds at or below the maximum rated operating speed. In the case of the fifth cause the burst would occur at a speed substantially above the maximum rated operating speed. To guard against such failure of the electronic speed limiting systems and the consequences thereof there are known mechanical arrangements whereby the rotor may be disconnected from its source of motive energy. Exemplary of such mechanisms are those disclosed in U.S. Pat. No. 3,990,633 (Stahl et al.), U.S. Pat. No. 4,568,325 (Cheng et al.) and U.S. Pat. No. 3,961,745 (Wright). These devices relate to rotors that are mounted to the drive from the undersurface thereof. The first two patents utilize a mounting base or hub suitably attached to the rotor by an array of axially extending bolts. The base has a driving surface which matably engages with the drive spindle from the motive source. These elements form the driving interconnection between the rotor and its source. The base has reduced thickness web regions which are highly stressed as the rotor is operated. The base fractures in the highly stressed web regions if the rotor spins at too great a speed, thus disengaging the rotor from its drive. The last mentioned patent has a safety link handle at the upper surface of the rotor. The handle has a reduced thickness region designed to rupture at a predetermined speed to create an imbalance that causes the rotor to separate from the drive. These devices have a shortcoming in common. As described their reliability depends upon accurately predicting fracture speed of cyclically loaded members, viz., the reduced thickness region. The fatigue damage resulting from cyclical loading would cause decoupling to take place at lower speeds for older rotors and at higher speeds for newer rotors. To guard against premature decoupling (before rotor design life is exceeded) it would be necessary to have a decoupling speed for new rotors higher than that needed if fatigue were not a factor. Even so, uncertainties associated with predicting fatigue failure would result in a certain amount of premature nuisance trips. Accordingly, it would be advantageous to provide a mechanical arrangement for a rotor of the type having an axial mounting bolt that is responsive to rotor speed which is more finely sensitive to rotor speed than the prior art mechanisms and which will cause the rotor to disconnect from its driving engagement with the source of motive energy. In accordance with the present invention, a centrifuge rotor of the type having an axially extending mounting bolt which is threadably engageable to the upper end of a drive spindle is provided with a segmented spacer element interposed between the undersurface of a clamping knob on the bolt and the body of the rotor. Engagement of the bolt to the drive spindle exerts a clamping force of a predetermined magnitude to hold the rotor to the drive spindle. The spacer element comprises a pair of segments secured together by a precisely controllable attractive force. In the preferred embodiment, the segments are magnetic and the attractive force is derived by magnetic attraction between the segments. As the rotor is rotated to increased speeds centrifugal force acts upon the segments. When the rotor reaches a predetermined speed the centrifugal force acting upon the segments overcomes the attractive force between the segments and causes the segments of the spacer to separate. This reduces the magnitude of the clamping force imposed on the rotor by the threaded mounting bolt and permits the rotor to remove itself from the drive member. The invention will be more fully understood from the following detailed description thereof taken in connection with the accompanying drawings which form a part of this application and in which: FIG. 1 is a stylized side elevational view of a centrifuge instrument with a rotor having a speed limiting arrangement in accordance with the present invention is therein; FIG. 2 is an enlarged side elevational view entirely in section of a portion of the rotor of FIG. 1 illustrating the mounting arrangement securing the rotor to its drive and the relationship of the speed limiting arrangement with respect thereto; FIGS. 3 and 4 are views taken along view lines 3--3 and 4--4 of FIG. 2 respectively illustrating the segments of the spacer assembly in the first and second positions. Throughout the following detailed description, similar reference numerals refer to similar elements in all figures of the drawings. With reference to FIG. 1, shown is a centrifuge instrument generally indicated by reference character 10 having a casing partially illustrated by reference character 12 in which a centrifuge rotor generally indicated by reference character 14 may be received. The rotor 14 includes a body member 16 having an array of sample receiving recesses 16R therein which are inclined at a predetermined fixed angle (including vertical) with respect to the vertical axis of rotation VCL of the rotor. Although the rotor 14 is shown as being of the fixed angle type, it should be understood that a swinging bucket type centrifuge rotor may also be used and remain within the contemplation of the present invention. The rotor body member 16 has a central bore 18 extending therethrough. A portion of the cylindrical bore 18 is threaded, as at 20. The lower portion of the cylindrical bore 18 communicates with a frustoconically shaped enlarged region 22. The enlarged region 22 receives the upper frustoconically shaped end of a drive spindle 24. The end of the spindle 24 has a threaded opening 24T provided therein for a purpose to be described. The drive spindle 24 has drive pins 25A, 25B projecting upwardly from the upper surface thereof. As seen best in FIG. 2 a rotor mounting adaptor 26 having external threads 28 thereon is threadedly secured into the bore 18 along the threads 20 thereof. The adapter 26 has an internal bore 30 that is threaded over a portion 32 of its length. The upper end of the adapter 26 overlies a portion of the rotor body, capturing a washer 33 therebetween. The lower axial end of the adaptor 26 is grooved as at 34. A pair of drive pins 35A and 35B are carried by the adaptor 26 and project downwardly into the groove 34. The drive pins 25A, 25B on the upper end of the drive spindle 24 project into the groove 34 in the adaptor 26, although in the Figures the upper end of the spindle 24 is shown as being spaced from its interengaged position with respect to the adapter 26 for clarity of illustration. The spindle 24 is connected via a shaft portion 24S to a source S of motive energy such that rotation of the drive spindle 24 causes the drive pins 25A, 25B thereon to circumferentially abut with the depending drive pins 35A, 35B on the adaptor 26 whereby motive energy may be transmitted from the source S into the rotor 14 to cause the rotation of the same about the axis of rotation VCL. A dome-like cover 40 (FIG. 1) having a central aperture 42 therein and a peripheral gasket 43 is disposed over the body 16 of the rotor 14. An elongated axially extending stud 44 having an enlarged head 45 is rotatably captured in the aperture 42 of the cover 40 by a washer 46 and a lock ring 47 that is accepted in a groove 48 in the stud 44. A gasket 49 is provided in the undersurface of the head 45 to seal the aperture 42. A central axial bore 50 extends through the stud 44, with the upper end of the bore 50 being enlarged to define a chamber 54 provided for a purpose to be set forth herein. The upper end of the chamber 54 is partially closed by a washer 55 that is secured in position by a lock ring 56. The interior of the chamber 54 is beveled, as at 57, for a purpose to be explained. The lower end of the stud 44 is externally threaded, as at 58, with the threaded engagement between the external threads 58 on the stud 44 and the internal threads 32 on the mounting adapter 26 serving to interconnect the cover 40 to the body 16 of the rotor 14. When so engaged the stud 44 effectively becomes part of the body 16 of the rotor 14 and can be so construed for present purposes. The rotor 14 is secured into position on the drive spindle 24 by an axially extending threaded mounting bolt 60 having a knob 62 at one end thereof. The mounting bolt 60 extends downwardly through the central axial bore 50 in the stud 44 and is received into the threaded opening 24T provided at the upper surface of the drive spindle 24. Threading of the bolt 60 into the spindle 24 imposes a clamping force acting in the direction of the arrow 64 on the rotor 14 holding the same securely in a driven engagement with the drive spindle 24. As best seen in FIG. 2, in accordance with the present invention, a spacer generally indicated by the reference character 70 comprising a pair of complementary segments 72A, 72B is received within the enlarged chamber 54 in the stud 44. Since the stud 44 when engaged to the adapter 26 is part of the rotor body 16, the chamber 54 may be construed as being provided in the body of the rotor for present purposes. The spacer segments 72 are disposed intermediate the underside of the knob 62 and the beveled surface 57 of the chamber 54. At least the undersurface of segments 72A, 72B are beveled to conform to the bevel of the chamber 54. The segments 72A, 72B are secured together with a predetermined attractive force. In the preferred embodiment the segments 72A, 72B are magnetic and the attractive force is provided by the mutual magnetic attraction between the segments 72A, 72B. Any alternate method of releasably joining segments 72A, 72B of the spacer with a substantially known predetermined force of attraction lies within the contemplation of this invention. In operation the spacer segments 72A, 72B are interposed in the above described assembled relationship and at the location within the chamber 54 intermediate the underside of the knob 62 and the body 16 of the rotor 14 as embodied by the stud 44 secured thereto. With the segments 72A, 72B of the spacer 70 in their initial position, as also seen in FIG. 3, (in which the segments abut in engaged relation) the threading of the bolt 60 into the spindle 24 exerts a clamping force of a predetermined magnitude acting in the direction 64 to hold the rotor 14 to the spindle 24. As the rotor 14 is spun centrifugal force acts on the segments 72A, 72B of the spacer 70. When the rotor exceeds a predetermined rotational speed the magnitude of the centrifugal force acting on the segments 72A, 72B overcomes the attractive force therebetween causes them to separate and move outwardly within the chamber 54 to their second position also seen in FIG. 4. The interaction of the bevelled cam surfaces of the chamber 54 and on the segments minimize frictional forces tending to retard or impede the displacement of the segments 72A, 72B from their first, joined, position (FIG. 3) to their second, spaced, position (FIG. 4). The magnetic attraction force between the segments 72A, 72B is selected whereby the first predetermined rotor speed (slightly above the normal operating speed) may be precisely controlled. As the segments 72A, 72B move away from each other beneath the knob 62 of the mounting bolt 60 the magnitude of the clamping force holding the rotor 14 to the drive spindle 24 is decreased. The rotor 14 is therefore permitted to move off the drive spindle 24. This condition imbalances the rotor 14. Increased rotor speed would result in increased imbalance, causing the rotor 18 to walk off the conical end of the spindle 24. If the centrifuge 10 is provided with an imbalance detector 76, the detector 76 would respond to the imbalance condition to provide a suitable signal on a line 78 the source S to interrupt motive energy to the rotor 14. Those skilled in the art having benefit of the teachings of the present invention as hereinabove set forth may effect numerous modifications thereto. For example, the chamber 54 may be located elsewhere in the rotor 14. Moreover, more than two segments may be used. Although shown as circular, the segments need not be so configured. It should also be understood that the segments need not be totally engaged with each other when they occupy the first position so long as they remain in their initial position to maintain the clamping force holding the rotor to the spindle at some initial level. Other techniques may be used to provide the attractive force between the segments. For example, adhesives or some form of spring bias may be used. The magnetic attraction between the segments is preferred because it permits the segments to automatically reset themselves. These and other modifications are to be construed as lying within the scope of the present invention as defined in the appended claims. Patent Citations

I had the unique opportunity today to spend over 2 hours with my Commander in Chief, President George Bush. As you may (but probably don't) know from my profile, I'm a senior at West Point. We were privileged enough to have a visit from POTUS today. He addressed the under three classes together with a typical presidential speech. The First Class however, was assembled in a separate auditorium. After watching his public speech on telecast, we remained in the auditorium.
The President then came to address our class, Class of 2009, on our own. This was an incredible experience. POTUS made a deal with us: there were no cameras, no media, no recording devices of any kind. We were not permitted to take video with our digital cameras. We made an agreement of confidence with the President (which I will not be breaking here) that he would speak to the 1,000 of us, and us alone. In return, he was absolutely candid, speaking to us like a normal human being. What followed was a Q&A session lasting about 2.5 hours. No speech writers, no prepared agenda. Just us asking him what was on our minds and straight answers from him.
It was, quite frankly, unbelieveable. The man is the most intelligent, dynamic speaker I've ever seen here at the academy (and we get some pretty heavy hitters!) He articulated his beliefs, policies, and actions in a manner that we don't ever see on TV when he's reading his speeches. And the man is hilarious, to boot. I'm thoroughly convinced that if George W. Bush spoke on a regular basis to the American People like he spoke to us today, he would go down as one of the greatest Presidents in the history of our nation.
I've sometimes had doubts (in private) as to the quality of our President and the appropriateness of some of his decisions. I will tell you with full confidence that today those doubts were cast aside for me. I hope that, with time, history will judge the man that spoke with me today instead of the popular image of George W. Bush.
I guess it just goes to show the vast difference between when folks say what they believe is acceptable and that others want to hear versus saying what they really mean without tiptoeing around things. I certainly learned a life lesson today about the power of being straightforward and up front about things with my troops, one which I suspect will serve me well in the near future.
**Again, my purpose here was to share a unique experience and valuable lesson. Hopefully this will not be taken in the wrong light**

This thread is to discuss the origin of the weapons characters in Soul Eater. We have currently 4 (or 5 of we considered the sisters as 2 weapons), Soul, Tsubaki, Thompson sisters and lastly Maaka's dad. Are they originally human? or are they manufactured?
So what do we already know about these guys/gals. Soul.. Not disclosed yet but we could guess a bit.. Spoiler for manga:
His first dialogue in the anime also says that he is similar to Jack the Ripper. Which is nonhuman. Tsubaki.. Spoiler for manga:
Thompson sister.. Spoiler for manga:
Maaka's Dad.. A weapon.. Also a human as he is Maaka's dad.. The first guy that made me curious as to what weapon's actually are in the first place Manga weapons.. Spoiler for manga:
So, how actually a weapon is born? Voluntarily offer to turn into a weapon? Trained and learn the art to become one? Manufactured yet have ability of a fully functional human? (As Maaka's dad proves ) NOTE: Please bear in mind that manga spoilers would be unavoidable and thus, requesting full cooperation to posters to fully tag each properly. Thank you

Unfortunately, it is actually my mistake (I did put a ? on his name in my defence ). His name is written on his belly btw, not head (chapter 24 -pg 38)
Its good to know that his name really means something ^^ .. I'll edit his name in my first post ^^

I got the feeling reading the manga that some people were born with the ability to be Techs while others were born as human / weapons as it were.
I mean to have a human kid like Maka's dad did proves they aren't some completely separate species like Soul tries to say. Unless the gene or whatever it is doesn't always express itself every generation or something, or that because Maka's mom was a strong technician that that overrided it. There is still a lot of mysteries in the Soul Eater world.

My thoughts on the subject:
"The Weapon" is a normal human murdered by a weapon of same type. Probably by mistake or unfairly. Poor Tsubaki, she was murdered by many weapons at same time PS: I do not read the Manga.

Maaka's dad had childhood moments, grew up marrying Maaka's mom (who is human), which ended up with Maaka. I guess in the Soul Eater world, 'Weapons' are very much humans as their 'Meisters'. The only unique Weapon breed so far is,

What intrigued me more is that both Technician and their weapon both attend same classes (so far that is shown - manga/anime) They are no difference between them, except that the weapons gets to eat the souls they capture..
Which is then have to spit out again in case of their failure.. As is the case with Soul.. wonder how they manage to extract all those 100 souls he ate already

Comparing Two Of J.R. Smith's Amazing Reverse Alley-oops by Patrick Johnson 2 Comments
February 12, 2012 BY Aaron Hope / 52
It's crazy to think that just twenty-five some odd games into the NBA season, we're already only two months away from the Playoffs. And that goes double because not only will the Association's postseason be starting on April 28th, but sometime during that month, we'll also be revisiting a tournament run that culminated in the fifth title in seven years for what remains the league's second-best team (regular season record-wise) of all time. The Air Jordan 12 Retro 'Playoffs' is like opening a time capsule from spring 1997, the kind of strong nostalgia juxtaposed against a timeless design that emphasizes how perfect this Tinker Hatfield effort really is. Jordan Brand couldn't have picked a better model to release during an early 2012 that's trending hard toward simple black and/or white designs, so now we're just left waiting for that exact release date. Stick with Sneaker News to find out when that'll be, and have a look at some new images in the meantime. via TTB

BELEK, Turkey (AP) - Tiger Woods shot a 9-under 63 Friday to trim a six-shot deficit to one after the second round of the Turkish Open.
Woods completed seven holes of his rain-delayed first round for a 70 on Friday morning. After an hour lunch break, the 14-time major winner didn't drop a shot and had nine birdies in the second round.
It left Woods in fifth place on 11 under, just a shot behind the leading foursome of Sweden's Henrik Stenson (68), England's Ian Poulter (66), Frenchman Victor Dubuisson (65) and South African Justin Walters (66).
Woods last won on the European Tour at the co-sanctioned 2009 Australian Masters.

Khantara: the One who Moves like Shadow
The Thellisian Empire had become too bold for its own excellence and had launched an irreparable attack upon the far island of Mharvholan. The Haanta stronghold which was normally prepared for any assault Thellis could conceive to convey had not expected such an unprecedented attack after they had delivered such a substantial blow to the empire themselves. When seeing such damage done to their home, the Emperor of Thellis order the Haanta island's immediate destruction in order to quell such dissent from the northern lands and when the nations of giants had suffered their last, they had begun to plan their vicious retaliation. The Hakriyaa ordered that a battalion of one-thousand Amghari, the celebrated warriors of Mharvholan and Sanhedran alike, attack the eastern settlements of the Thellisian Empire instead of attacking the capital in the west as was expected.
The military leader of the islands ordered the regiment of one-thousand raging mountains be lead by the Den Amhadhri of Mharvholan, Khantara. Although not a becoming man, Khantara was certainly the largest Haanta to be recollected. Standing tall at nine feet, the giant Haanta had lived to lead many wars against Thellis and had enjoyed much success as a commander and master of his people. There were many gifts bestowed upon the quiet giant and although handsomeness was not one of them where he failed in appearance, he succeeded greatly in ability. The gargantuan man was an Amghari of the highest decoration and master hunter of the western isle. As proof of his skill at war, he carried with him his large two-handed axe which he claimed was all his ambition as the enormous giant was mostly silent and reserved in his manner. He favoured his skill at observation over speaking or attacking and though not the greatest orator of his time when the dark grey mammoth venture to say little, everyone around him listened. He rather enjoyed his gifts as an Endari and possessed what his people called the Sotaa, the talent for speaking wordlessly with the various animals of the islands. As his confident and decided mind was plagued by conversation from all of nature around him, he remained quiet throughout most of the day to listen and learn from the twittering sounds of birds and the bellowing roars of beasts.
Khantara did not enjoy the taking of life although it was something he did rather well as he overshadowed and overpowered everyone in his path. He often preferred to give his opponent the object of running away and after seeing his enormous size and unrelenting might, they often took his kindness and fled from his foreboding silhouette. All of the Amhadhri beneath his station bowed to him with reverence and as he was an Odaibha, master in all things to his people, many crowded around him hoping to glean a morsel of wisdom from the mighty giant. They watched all his actions and dealings with great interest and because of all the attention and adulation Khantara was paid, he often sought the comforts of solitude and silence whenever he was permitted.
His long grey locks hung chaotic from his high head and his yellow eyes peeked out from his black sclera, making him seem intimidating when he believed himself to be anything but. As he was not fond of the raining season, he walked about in a Dhanna, a Haanta shadow cloak made from a strange and heavy silk, to keep the chilling rains from his boulderous shoulders, which gained him the fond name of Vhessehl Dhoss-hi, He who Moves like Shadow. Khantara had grown pleased for this name as it was much more fitting than He who Conquers as his name was translated in the common tongue.
Khantara walked with a slow and shuffling gait everywhere he went and garnered much attention, gaining bows and words of praise and supplication from every one of his blessed people. His stride was small for a man of his height as he was careful not to harm any who may cross his route and he often stopped to pay regard to many of the workers along Mharvholan's coast. As he was an Odaibha and divided his time between teaching various subjects in temple and training the commanders on the shore, Khantara often had little time for himself and frequently took to walking about the island in the darkness, strolling in the warm breeze of the island nights. When he required rest, he sat against one of the looming trees and closed his vivid yellow eyes for a few moments. His men were often eager for his tutelage but worried for his lack of sleep and his general dislike for his duties at Khopra. Even though there were few women who offered to attempt the ritual with such a massive and thoughtful creature, Khantara had never honoured anyone in the sacred act for fear of harming them with his overbearing weight and incomparable size. He would not be responsible for such ill deeds and it was therefore ruled that his duties at Khopra were unimportant when his duties as Odaibha and Den Amhadhri were.
He had become an Amghari was he was only nine and was taken to be trained in seclusion with an Odaibha of his own. His dark grey skin was abraded quite often and his strength and prowess had quickly become unmatched. When the Hakriyaa honoured him with his axe upon instatement he had given him the name Khantara as he saw the immense potential the giant possessed. Although he did not enjoy this name, he fulfilled the expectation of it well and where he was bid to lead, he would go. He dutifully followed the order of his superior but always acted with prudence and respect with regard to his command. As supreme commander, much was expected of him and he found his duties effortless as many had cowered before him without needed provocation. He was a giant of legends and a learned beast, and all who followed him greatly admired the tremendous and unspoken shadow-like monster.
The young Mivaari of the island enjoyed his quiet manner and reserved company. He was attentive to their skills and watched them closely as they developed, making certain to nurture their inborn traits correctly. He did much with action and much less with speaking, as he knew well that children must be shown and not told. The significant beast adored his students and silently wished to one day nurture his own without the Themari's interference. Such a desire, however, was thus far unfounded as he refrained from Khopra in exchange to lead the newest assault. One-hundred years he had fought for his people and though he was honoured to lead the battle, he preferred the comforts of peace ever so much more.
By the might of Khantara's powerful hand, the battle for the eastern settlements was easily won. The war was waged only a few days and yet the one-thousand man army had conquered nearly the entire eastern half of the Empire. As the land was now under the leadership of the prevailing behemoth, the Hakriyaa allowed the Den Amhadhri Khantara to rule it as he pleased until they required his presence on the shore once again. He was ordered to begin the plans for a settlement of their own and the creation of a temple to begin their practices in the newly won outpost. Khantara complied and gently gave word to his people to begin construction at once.
The giant had left many of the human inhabitants in their homes and agreed that they may keep their ways and customs as they liked. He offered conversion to the Haanta for all those who asked it and refused to be named as a warlord in their land. Those who attacked the beast and his people with vehemence for his kindness were sent to Mharvholan to be placed in a camp for their damaging behavior and although they were not ill-treated they were asked to convert to calm their fevered sentiment or remain in the camp for their crimes. Many began to fear the Haanta and their mountainous leader in the outpost but those who converted enjoyed their new given purpose and dignity amongst the kindly and tranquil Haanta people. When others were encouraged to join their culture, the Church of Thellis lashed out at them, banning Haanta from their buildings and forcing them to remain away from the human settlement.
And so the outpost was divided into two sections only joined by the collective of the marketplace where all were welcome if only to spend a few coins. As the Haanta had little need for copper and gold, they were seldom seen in the markets accept to travel from their potion of the outpost to the docks where many Haanta came to populate the settlement. They began to build the foundations of their race into the mortar of the mainland and a celebration was called in honour of their newfound glory at striking a substantial blow to the Empire. The Church forbade their attendants from going and if any human was caught speaking with the gentle giants, immediate reprimand was promised. The ruling demands of the Church however were silent when the tremendous Khantara silently walked by and although he respected their presence he did not venture to look at them to keep suspicions against him hushed.
The celebration for the Haanta outpost was held in the new grounds near the erected temple and it was declared that the outpost was to be named after the temperate giant in honour of his immense achievement in attaining it. The enormous man said nothing to refute the offer and only bowed toward the announcement, huddled within the confines of his Dhanna and walked away to gain some much needed seclusion for his consideration. His three Amhadhri thought to follow him and call him back to the celebration, feeling disheartened by his early departure.
"Odaibha," one of them said to the colossus. "Will you not join us at the commemoration? It was
made to honour you."
Khantara hummed in deliberation and placed his massive paw on the commander's shoulder to show his appreciation for the thought.
"Are you not pleased, Odaibha?"
"I am," Khantara said in a low hum. "Let our people rejoice. I must walk."
The Amhadhri bowed and watched as the moving shadow shuffled away to enjoy his solitude in through the outpost. He only stopped to converse with birds on the matter of their newly made nest and the continued on, gaining one of them for his shoulders.
"Leave our Odaibha, Jhiaanta," one of the Amhadhri said. "He has done his duty to us and deserves the quiet he seeks."
The Amhadhri Jhiaanta looked at his master's shade with concern as he walked away. "I worry for him," Jhiaanta warily said. "He will not be able to instruct here for some time until the temple is fully erected and the training grounds are finished. He finds much comfort in teaching us and the rebellion of these Dhagovhari will upset him."
The other Amhadhri laughed. "Our master is hardly disturbed by anything, Jhiaanta. His size and composure affords him that. Come, leave him alone."
Jhiaanta and the two Amhadhri returned to the celebration made in their master's name and Khantara continued on, resigned to the consolations of the discourse of the nature around him.

See and if that was Leland, the Officers would have to turn off their lights and turn around if this person did not stop. This guy who possibly killed a child would get away unless Leland know for absolute certain that he was guilty of killing the child. But if he simply dropped off a kid who died and then wouldn't stop Leland Officers can't chase. Thank you Sheriff for taking care of business and not letting criminals get away because of the scare of "liability". »
