` K. M. BROWN 3,396,967 HAND, WRIST AND F OREARM EXERCISING DEVICE Aug. 13, 1968 Filed Oct. 22, 1965 l l I f l n l l r I l n l I I I l f I u l I n I I l i I United States Patent() M 3,396,967 HAND, WRIST AND FORE-ARM EXERCISING DEVICE Keith Morris Brown, 176 Liverpool Road, Kilsyth, Victoria, Australia Filed Oct. 22, 1965, Ser. No. 501,280 Claims priority, application Australia, Aug. 16, 1965, 62,927/65 v- 4 Claims. (Cl. 272-67) This invention relates to an exercising device and is directed particularly to apparatus for use in performing exercises to strengthen the muscles of the hand, the wrist and the fore-arm.
Exercises which strengthen the muscles of the hand, the wrist and the fore-arm are particularly valuable to Sportsmen engaged in sports where these muscles are continually brought into play in holding and wielding bats, rackets, golf clubs and the like and also for athletes such as oarsmen where strength of these muscles is important. Further, it is desirable that the user may be able to gradually increase the Work done during exercising as he progresses through an exercising program.
The objects of the invention are, accordingly, to provide an exercising -device of the above-mentioned type which is simple and cheap to construct, which provides an effective means for exercising and training the muscles in question and which is readily adapted to increase or decrease the strain imposed during exercising according to the particular requirements of the user.
With the above objects in view, there is provided, according to this invention, an exercising device comprising a pair of hand grips mounted rotatably relative to each other and a resilient element which imposes a load tending to oppose such relative rotation. More particularly, the invention comprises a spindle having hand grips mounted on its ends so as to be rotatable relatively to each other and a resilient element positioned between the hand grips so as to impose a load on the hand grips resisting their relative rotation. Preferably, the spindle is screw-threaded and engages an internal screw-thread in at least one of the hand grips. Preferably also, the resilient element is a compression spring mounted on the spindle and bearing at each end against the end of the adjacent hand grip.
In order that the invention may be described in greater detail, a preferred embodiment thereof will now be described with reference to the accompanying drawings, wherein:
FIGURE 1 is a perspective view of an exercising device in accordance with the invention,
FIGURE 2 is a sectional view taken lengthwise through the device, and
FIGURES 3 and 4 show one Way of using the device.
As shown in the drawings, the device comprises a spindle 1 which is screw-threaded at its ends 2, 3` and carries about its mid-section a strong helical compression spring 4. The screw-threaded ends of the spindle engage internal threads on steel plugs 5, 6 which are secured within the ends of tubular hand grip portions 7, 8 respectively. These hand grip portions are covered with a suitable material such as rubber, leather or the like to enable them to be effectively and comfortably gripped by the user. The ends of the compression spring 4 bear against washers 9, 10 mounted on the spindle 1 between the compression spring and the inner ends of the hand grips 7, 8. The threaded plug 5 is welded to the end 2 of the spindle while the plug 6, and the hand grip 8, are rotatable in relation to the spindle. In eiect, therefore, the spindle 1 comprises a lead screw and the plug 6 comprises a lead nut which may be advanced or retracted along the screw in order to compress or relax the spring.
In one method of using the device, it is held out in 3,396,967 Patented Aug. 13, 1968 front of the body in a vertical position with the palms of the hands facing generally towards each other, one hand grasping the upper hand grip and the other hand the lower hand grip. The upper hand grip is then turned clockwise and the lower hand grip is turned anti-clockwise whereby the hand grips move towards each other and compress or further compress the spring (see FIGURE 3). This exercises the muscles controlling palmar flexion, i.e. the muscles on the inside of the fore-arm.
When this movement has been completed, the hand grips are rotated in the opposite directions (see FIGURE 4), thereby exercising the muscles controlling dorsiflexiou, i.e. the muscles at the back of the fore-arm.
In each case, the gripping muscles and tendons and ligaments controlling wrist strength are also exercised.
Before commencing an exercise, the spring can be preloaded by rotating the hand grips so as to compress the spring to the desired extent. The greater the initial compression of the spring, the more dilicult it is to rotate the hand grips during an exercise. It is, accordingly, a simple matter to undertake a series of exercises which gradually become more diflicult.
Preloading the spring in the manner described above is possible mainly because of frictional resistance to relative rotation between the spindle and the lead screw constituted by the plug 6 in the hand grip 8. Frictional forces between the washers 9, 10 and the ends of the spring also help to retain the spring in a preloaded condition. While the compression of the spring comprises the major portion of the load to be overcome while the hand grips are being rotated so as to bring them closer together, the above-mentioned frictional resistances provide a load sufficient to exercise the muscles concerned even when the hand grips are being rotated so as to slacken olf the spring.
To enable the loading of the spring to be gauged, the device may be provided with a pointer and scale to indicate the amount of deformation of the spring. In a further reinement of the apparatus, one or both of the hand grips could be provided with an extended skirt which covers and conceals the spring. Where both hand grips have an extended skirt, one would be arranged telescopically within the other and in such an arrangement it would be convenient to provide a scale on the inner skirt.
It would be possible for both plugs 5, 6 to be freely rotatable on the spindle, but the advantage of having one of the plugs fixed to the spindle as described above is that one ofthe handles cannot then 'be unwound olf the spindle while the spring is still under compression.
Whilst there has been described above one particular device which may be constructed in accordance with this invention and a simple form of exercise which may be carried out using that device has been explained, it is to be understood that the construction of the device may be varied and that it may be used for other exercises and for the development of other muscles. One readily apparent modification which may be made to the construction would be the replacement of the friction washers and compression spring with a torsion spring or other torsion resistant element. These and other modifications are to be understood as coming within the spirit and scope of this invention which includes every novel feature and cornbination of features above disclosed.
I claim:

An exercising device comprising a spindle and a pair of hand grip means, each hand grip means comprising a cylinder having a length substantially greater than its diameter, the diameter of one hand grip means being the same as the other, one hand grip means being non-rotatably mounted on one end of the spindle, screw threads on the other end of the spindle, the other hand grip means being threadably engaged with the said other end of the spindle, and a compression spring mounted on the spindle grip means resisting their relative rotation;

Edwin Arlington Robinson
As a World Would Have It Poem by Edwin Arlington Robinson
Shall I never make him look at me again?
I look at him, I look my life at him,
I tell him all I know the way to tell,
But there he stays the same.
Shall I never make him speak one word to me?
Shall I never make him say enough to show
My heart if he be glad? Be glad? … ah! God,
Why did they bring me back?
I wonder, if I go to him again,
If I take him by those two cold hands again,
Shall I get one look of him at last, or feel
One sign—or anything?
Or will he still sit there in the same way,
Without an answer for me from his lips,
Or from his eyes,—or even with a touch
Of his hand on my hand?…
"Will you look down this once—look down at me?
Speak once—and if you never speak again,
Tell me enough—tell me enough to make
Me know that you are glad!
"You are my King, and once my King would speak:
You were Admetus once, you loved me once:
Life was a dream of heaven for us once—
And has the dream gone by?
"Do I cling to shadows when I call you Life?
Do you love me still, or are the shadows all?
Or is it I that love you in the grave,
And you that mourn for me?
"If it be that, then do not mourn for me;
Be glad that I have loved you, and be King.
But if it be not that—if it be true …
Tell me if it be true!"
Then with a choking answer the King spoke;
But never touched his hand on hers, or fixed
His eyes on hers, or on the face of her:
"Yes, it is true," he said.
"You are alive, and you are with me now;
And you are reaching up to me that I—
That I may take you—I that am a King—
I that was once a man."
So then she knew. She might have known before;
Truly, she thought, she must have known it long
Before: she must have known it when she came
From that great sleep of hers.
She knew the truth, but not yet all of it:
He loved her, but he would not let his eyes
Prove that he loved her; and he would not hold
His wife there in his arms.
So, like a slave, she waited at his knees,
And waited. She was not unhappy now.
She quivered, but she knew that he would speak
Again—and he did speak.
And while she felt the tremor of his words,
He told her all there was for him to tell;
And then he turned his face to meet her face,
That she might look at him.
She looked; and all her trust was in that look,
And all her faith was in it, and her love;
And when his answer to that look came back,
It flashed back through his tears.
So then she put her arms around his neck,
And kissed him on his forehead and his lips;
And there she clung, fast in his arms again,
Triumphant, with closed eyes.
At last, half whispering, she spoke once more:
"Why was it that you suffered for so long?
Why could you not believe me—trust in me?
Was I so strange as that?
"We suffer when we do not understand;
And you have suffered—you that love me now—
Because you are a man.… There is one thing
No man can understand.
"I would have given everything?—gone down
To Tartarus—to silence? Was it that?
I would have died? I would have let you live?—
And was it very strange?"

L.A. Increases Efforts For '24 Summer Games Bid, With Local Political Powers Onboard
Published March 3, 2014
'TIS THE SEASON: A BOSTON GLOBE editorial asked if the city should "be considering" a bid for the '26 Winter Games, rather than the '24 Games. A bid for the '26 Games is "worth exploring" as long as organizers establish -- for either a Summer or Winter Games bid -- that the IOC "would entertain a pragmatic bid that avoids glitzy projects that would only get two weeks of use." The Winter Games "are more manageable than their summer counterpart." Boston already has many viable venues for a Winter Games, and the savings "from avoiding unnecessary construction could be spent instead" on Massachusetts Bay Transportation Authority upgrades and "other long-lasting improvements." The IOC "should reward, not punish, would-be host cities that show a concern for frugality" (BOSTON GLOBE, 3/2).
HANG TEN: In Sydney, Amanda Lulham wrote surfing is "increasingly being perceived as an attractive addition to the Olympic program in the wake of snowboarding's incredible popularity at the Winter Olympics." Surfer Kelly Slater "thinks surfing as an Olympic sport is a swell idea." Slater said that the surfing community is "divided about the sport entering the Olympic arena but he welcomes the move and believes wave pools are surfing's way onto the Games program" (Sydney DAILY TELEGRAPH, 3/1).

A range hood that isn't a hood
Hi Folks,
I'm hoping I can use your collective wisdom...
I'm looking at this hood: http://www.ajmadison.com/cgi-bin/ajmadison/CC34ISB.html It's a flush mount 44" ceiling fan, I plan on pairing it with a 1500 CFM external motor and will be using it with either a Blue Star 30" or an American Range 30" range.
My question: Is this too good to be true? I'm planning on putting the stove on a peninsula and keeping things as open as possible is a goal for me.
Thanks for your responses!
Here is a link that might be useful: Link to Best Cirrus fan
No way can you run that much CFM through the 6" duct that that thing uses. I doubt it would even do the CFM that it says it does with it's internal blower.
Yes, it's too good to be true. With a high performance range comes the NEED for a high performance hood with some decent capture area. That isn't it.
You'd be much better off relocating the range to a different wall. Cooking is only 10% of the time you spend in the kitchen. Put a prep sink on that peninsula and enjoy the 70% of the time you spend doing that as your social interaction.
They have one of these (a Best - Cirrus) installed at the Purcell-Murray demo kitchen in Brisbane, CA (as of Aug, 2012). It's over a new Thermador Freedom induction cooktop. I was shocked at how well it worked for being so high above the surface. Not too noisy either. Though I think the rep said there was a replacement part it needed that would quiet it down some more.
I think if you get it with an external blower you can size up the duct to 8".
We've looked at them too and wondered how efficient they are. DH thought it was great. I can't figure out why the unit is framed in black metal rather than white - I haven't seen too many kitchens with black ceilings.
Even with a duct large enough for a 1500 cfm external fan, which would preferably be 10-inch diameter, this unit is too small for the height it will be at, even for 7 ft ceilings. Much of the rising effluent would miss immediate capture, and likely would diffuse throughout the house before being cleared by the replacement air. In the meantime, some grease and moisture would collect on the ceilings, walls, and fabrics.
A foot or more of pan overlap would be needed for that height, leading to a hood that might be described as commercial sized. It would, though, not block sight-lines. Of possible interest is that the higher the hood, the more susceptible the rising effluent is to cross drafts and turbulence from people moving about, so the opportunities for escaping immediate capture are more frequent.
I should add that a 3 x 1 or 2 x 2 array of these Cirrus units (depending on ceiling height) might be adequate, so long as the filters are cleaned often. Such a set would be very unobtrusive, and somewhat emulate the commercial perforated ceiling systems, though without their UV systems to break down the grease.
> I can't figure out why the unit is framed in black metal rather than white - I haven't seen too many kitchens with black ceilings.
It's not black trim, that's the recessed portion of the vent which just looks dark because it is in shadow. It's all stainless steel.
Looks good, but that is a very narrow plume being collected, with a much lower expansion angle than was observed and reported in calibrated tests performed by Finnish researchers. I think this test should be repeated searing meat at a higher temperature than what was used for vegetables in the video.
(One might conclude, however, that if one won't be doing any cooking more intense than the veggie cooking in the video, this device is large enough so long as the cooking is directly below it.)
In general, the standard for capture video is schleiren photography, which can show by the imaged index of refraction changes in the air where heat (and presumably effluent) is going at the hood.
Edit: This post only makes sense in the context of a commercial post that preceded it that must have been defenestrated by the admins. The removed post related to a video at the suppliers web site.

Green Sapote Planting
I tried a green sapote fruit for the first time this past weekend and loved it, a very unusual tasting fruit. Luckily I was given an extra one to have my family try as well. I saved the large seed and would like to plant it and try to grow a seedling to graft one onto. How should I plant the seed so that it will germinate and grow?
The closest to green sapote information I found online was a Mamey Sapote website that recomends planting a mamey sapote seed, pointy end down with the top of the seed exposed in a 50/50 peat-topsoil mix then to keep it moist for 30-100 days to germinate. Will that also work for a green sapote seed, they look and I'm told taste very similar.
I would imagine you would handle the seed the same way, i.e. the green sapote and the mamey sapote. They are supposedly closely related, to the extent, that I was told that you could graft a green sapote scion unto a mamey sapote rootstock.
I would really like to know how similar they taste to each other. We bought a grafted green sapote last summer. It was around a foot tall and cost around $35 down in homestead... I hope it lives up to the hype.
The know the mamey seedlings sprout up pretty quick so hopefully your does too! Good luck.
The instructions for planting Green Sapote would be the same as for Mamey Sapote. The grafted Green Sapotes, which I have a small one of, are grafted on to Mamey rootstock. The thinking is that Mamey fares better in FL soils than does Green Sapote. I have planted Green Sapote seed, they have sprouted, but I have never gotten them up to any size. My grafted one was newly grafted and about a foot and a half tall when I bought it from Pine Island. It has more than doubled in size since I planted it. The taste of Green sapote is better, to me, than mamey. It has been a while since I have had any, but my memory is that is was richer and sweeter than mamey, although smaller in fruit size.
I have a green sapote via seed. I believe I put it in sideways and it did fine. The freeze killed it to the trunk, but it has repopped. I found it somewhat superior in taste to mamey and canistel, but I love them all. It's nice because they don't take over a year like mamey does.
I picked up a 2-3 foot tall grafted green sapote tree today in Homestead. Now I just have to decide on a nice high/dry spot in my yard to plant it.
Does this type tree grow fast, how wide do they get? How about the roots, are they shallow or overly destuctive? I'm leaning towards putting it between my 15 foot tall VP Mango tree and a 5 foot tall Sugar Apple tree. Would be maybe 10 feet away from each on a high stony area of the yard.
And yes I'm still trying to germinate the green sapote seed from the fruit, I tried last week. Hmmmm. maybe I can even graft onto the seedling if it grows.
I also bought a green sapote from PI on June 2009. It was one foot tall in a gallon size container, cost me $25. It is about 3 feet tall now and it has started to branch out.
The fruit is rather small about 3" long and 2.5" in diameter compared to the mamey sapote. On the plus side the fruit takes one growing season to enjoy unlike 2yrs or more for the mamey sapote.
The harvest season in Florida is from Dec-Mar so the tree will require winter protection if you are to harvest fruit in the dead of winter.
I have only seen two adult Green Sapote trees. One was at the TREC facility in Dade County whch is growing out in an open field setting. The other was at Bill Whitman's house. His was huge and growing right up against and over his house. So, I am assuming the root issue wasn't a concern. At least, he never mentioned it being a problem. The tree can get quite large. I have never seen a mamey get that large, but then again, most of the mameys that I have seen have been in a grove setting so I would definitley defer to our Cuban members who may have encountered a field grown mamey that got as big as the green sapote Whitman was growing. Remember, Whitman's tree was probably 30 or more years old....so you won't have to worry about this isse for some time. But his was easily 40 or so feet tall....and I don't know if that was with any pruning or not. Overall, from what I have been able to observe, the tree is a fairly slow grower.

PEOPLE's TV Critic: The 8 Best Super Bowl Ads
Originally posted 02/03/2014 06:45AM
The commercials that aired during Sunday's Super Bowl to a large degree were already pre-broadcast. The big campaigns not only streamed online, but also preceded themselves with "teaser" versions.
As a result, their official arrivals tended to feel like a smallish baby dropped by a drooping stork. Then they were instantly viewed, discussed, graded up or down and made to run the gauntlet of social media.
In the future, everyone will be Carrie Underwood in The Sound of Music Live! for 15 minutes. It won't be pretty.
This year's Super Bowl ads didn't send out any real ripples – nothing like 2013's oddly sensational Go Daddy spot with Bar Refaeli making out with a gratefully passionate nerd. In general, they settled for cute, if not always as cute as they were supposed to be. A Volkswagen ad that imagined German engineers getting wings ended with a proctological gag that stayed within good taste but never escaped the fact that it was a proctological gag.
Here are the ones I liked best.
The Muppets Take on Twitter Trolls in Latest Muppets Most Wanted Trailer
Originally posted 01/13/2014 03:30PM
If you watched the Golden Globes on Sunday night, you'll know that Muppets Most Wanted was totally shut out when it came to nominations. Of course, this is because the movie doesn't come out until March, but still – The Muppets aren't too happy about it.
The latest trailer for the upcoming film, which debuted during the 2014 Golden Globes broadcast, finds fans of the eponymous puppets arguing about the lack of respect given to the film during the 2013 awards season. (For the record, the franchise itself hasn't exactly been snubbed by the award-giving elite: The Muppets's 2011 comeback won an Oscar for Best Song in 2012.) In classic online form, the dispute soon devolves into a cavalcade of misspelling, name-calling and spam links, from such wits as @HotFudge1218 and @Babybean1128.

As Kermit the Frog recently noted, the Muppets have a long history with Lady Gaga. Mother Monster took the dapper amphibian as her date to the VMAs in 2009, and has even worn him as a fashion statement.
So, it wasn't a huge surprise that the "Born this Way" songstress was joined by the Muppets crew for a holiday-themed musical special that aired on ABC Thursday evening ... especially since Gaga is promoting her new album, ArtPop, and Kermit, Piggy and Co. star in the upcoming flick Muppets Most Wanted.
In case you missed the show, which featured guest appearances from RuPaul, Elton John, Joseph Gordon-Levitt and Kristen Bell, we've rounded up some of the most memorable clips below.

Jim Henson's partner in marriage and Muppets has died.
Jane Henson died at age 78 Tuesday at her Connecticut home following a battle with cancer, according to the Jim Henson Co.
She and Henson met in a University of Maryland puppetry class in the mid-1950s, and they became creative and business partners in the development of the Muppets.
The Hensons married in 1959 and had five children: Lisa, Cheryl, Brian, John and Heather. The pair separated in 1986, and Jim Henson died in 1990.

In the Internet age, it's harder than ever for celebrities to avoid the prying cameras of the paparazzi – and no one knows that better than Miss Piggy.
"Sometimes they get a little bit too close," the porcine diva told PEOPLE during a recent interview at the Beverly Hilton. "It is not like they catch my bad side, because I don't have one. So that is never the problem. The problem is being seen with the wrong guy."
Piggy's new movie, The Muppets, opened Wednesday, and though it's brought her back in the spotlight, the star says her promotional tour has been "grueling."
"I am telling you, I have never worked so hard in my life," Miss Piggy says.

A social media campaign has emerged on Facebook and Twitter advocating for Jim Henson's Muppets to take over hosting duties at the 84th Academy Awards on Feb. 26.
With their own feature film out in theaters Nov. 23, Kermit, Miss Piggy, Fozzie Bear and the gang are certainly experiencing a career resurgence. And just imagine the fashion possibilities for Piggy.

Resolves deeply-nested object properties via dot or bracket-notation for Node.js and the browser.
Resolves deeply-nested object properties via dot or bracket-notation for Node.js and the browser.
So you can do:
selectn('info.name.full', person)
instead of:
person && person.info && person.info.name && person.info.name.full
- Avoids
if (obj && obj.a && obj.a.b && obj.a.b.c) { return obj.a.b.c; }.
- Supports multiple levels of array nesting (i.e.
- Supports dashed key access (i.e.
- Partial application supported.
- Functions generated by
selectncan be passed to applicative functors like Array.prototype.map and Array.prototype.filter.
- Works where typeof fails (i.e. deeply nested properties).
- ES5 and non-ES5 compatible.
- CommonJS, AMD, and legacy-global compatible.
- Provides access to global object if no object reference is given.
- No
evaland friends.
$ component install wilmoore/selectn
$ bower install selectn
$ jam install selectn
$ volo add wilmoore/selectn
<script src="https://raw.github.com/wilmoore/selectn/master/selectn.min.js"></script>
Nested property access
Given the following object:
var talk = {
info: { name: 'Go Ahead, Make a Mess' }
Apply the
selectn function to the
path and
object parameters for error-free access to deeply nested properties.
selectn('info.name', talk);
// => 'Go Ahead, Make a Mess'
Dashed keys
Given the following object:
var talk = {
info: { 'attendee-count': 200 }
Apply the
selectn function to the
path and
object parameters for error-free access to deeply nested properties.
selectn('info.attendee-count', talk);
// => 200
Given the following list:
var talks = [
{ info: { name: 'Go Ahead, Make a Mess' }},
{ info: { name: 'Silex Anatomy' }},
{ info: { name: 'Unit Testing in Python' }},
{ info: { name: 'Setting the Stage' }}
The generated function can be used as a predicate for map:
var query = selectn('info.name');
//=> [Function]
// => [ 'Go Ahead, Make a Mess', 'Silex Anatomy', 'Unit Testing in Python', 'Setting the Stage' ]
Given the following object of language strings:
var language = [

You expect the following JSON data from an XMLHttpRequest:
var data = { Client: { Message: { id: d50afb80-a6be-11e2-9e96-0800200c9a66 } } };
Access the
Client.Message.id property and log the result to the console (using promises):
//=> d50afb80-a6be-11e2-9e96-0800200c9a66
NOTE: Even if you don't use this methodology in production code, it can be a handy timesaver in terms of quick debugging.
In larger, data-driven applications, there tends to be a need to do a lot of deep object access which can quickly lead to code like this:
var name;
if (contact && contact.info && contact.info.name) {
name = contact.info.name.full || 'unknown';
The following is much more concise:
var name = selectn('info.name.full')(contact) || 'unknown';
Neckbeard Info
In case you care about this sort of thing, we are able to do normal function application as well as partially apply when that is convenient due to
selectn('info.name.full', contact)(normal function application)
selectn('info.name.full')(contact)(partial application without a
partialhelper like
selectn is a 2-ary function, we don't need to use an external library for currying as the algorithm is simple.
- You can use typeof; however, typeof only "appears" to work due to the way the global scope is implied.
- Other solutions involve eval and/or Function (
evalin disguise).

shopping in Palo Alto
Original post made by toobusytoshop, Palo Verde, on Aug 25, 2006
Where do you go for school supplies on the day the kids come home with their actual lists? Certainly not Walgreens or Longs, they were sold out. Where do you go for reasonably priced childrens shoes when they have worn a hole from dragging their feet instead of using brakes on their bikes? Where do you go for a last minute birthday present when you realise that the party is today and not next week?
I know that we have lots of specialty shops and there is always Stanford, but I do not have the time for that. Instead I will go to Mountain View where all the stores I need are close at hand and sell what I want to buy. I know we want small neighborhood retail parks with small specialty shops because that is the Palo Alto image. But what we need is one stop useful stores in our own city. I know what I am talking about - I bump into my neighbours all the time in Target, Office Max, Mervyns, etc. etc.

I know what you mean about shopping in Palo Alto. I bought my Ford in San Jose (The Ford in Palo Alto closed). I bought my Plasma TV and washer/dryer at Best Buy in Mt. View (they had the lowest price). I buy my food in Menlo Park (big Safeway, not like the one on Middlefield). My household items at Target in Mt. Veiw (lowest prices again and more of a selection). My gas at Cost-co in Gilroy (Gilroy is where I work and the price of gas is much lower). I did eat at Jack in the Box (on ECR) for lunch before I went to San Francisco to shop at Union Square.

1991 Toyota 4Runner Problems
At higher mileages, (125,000-150,000) the automatic transmission may not shift correctly. This can be caused by the throttle position sensor being out of adjustment or a shift solenoid needing to be replaced. Typically the transmission does not need to be completely overhauled.
Front brake rotors can wear causing a pulsation felt in the brake pedal. Our technicians tell us this condition is best corrected by replacement of the front rotors and brake pads.
The EGR System tends to get restricted or blocked with carbon after 100,000- 125,000 miles which will cause an emissions test failure for NOX. If the EGR system is equipped with an EGR temperature sensor it will trigger a Check Engine Light for improper EGR flow. The repair is to clean out the EGR passages and the EGR Temperature sensor. Our technicians tell this repair is pretty straight forward and takes about 1-1.5 hours. It is also wise to verify the EGR system components i.e. the Transducer, EGR Valve and VSV Solenoid at this time.

I have some trouble handling custom C++ exceptions when calling from Cython.
My situation is the following: I have a library that uses
CustomLibraryException for all exceptions. What I want is basically get the error message and raise a Python error with it.
The user guide has some hints but it is a bit unspecific. The first possibility is to do:
cdef int bar() except +ValueError
This converts the
CustomLibraryException to a
ValueError, but loses the error message.
The other possibility is to explicitly convert the error using
cdef int raise_py_error()
cdef int something_dangerous() except +raise_py_error
I don't really understant this solution. I understood that raise_py_error has to be a C++ function that somehow handles the error. I am not sure how to handle it though. The function doesn't get an argument and is called inside the
catch block in C++.
If any one has an working example of handling a C++ exception in Cython, that would be of great help.

Beautifull Plumbago
Hi, I live in a residential in Cali-Colombia, and on building exteriors have many plants, really beautiful plants. Like this Cape Plumbago (In the photo).
My mother and me would like know how we can do for sow a shot at home, ie know how it spreads.
Thank you.
Some growers have reported that it reseeds, but I have never experienced that problem beyond 1-2 seedlings per year, if that. They spread by suckers that come up near the base of the parent plant. Sometimes branches that come in contact with the soil will also root. I usually propagate them by just taking one of the rooted suckers and sticking it in the ground where I wanted a new plant. They reestablish quite easily that way. You could try by seed if you prefer, but if the parent is a cultivar that has specific characteristics you desire, it must be propagated vegetatively.
These plants get very large; that bed in the photo is going to be overrun quickly. Drastic pruning can feel like a loosing battle on plants with mature root systems--top growth comes back strong and quickly. To keep mine in check, and under 50sq' in size, I resorted to digging up my plant by the roots and just letting the remaining roots resprout. These plants know how to fill a green waste bin in a hurry! But they are loved by marine blue butterflies here and are nice, but tough, plants that are always in bloom, so whenever my yard is large enough there usually is one planted.
Thank you to everybody for your messages and for your help.
I them you that around here in my residential have more plumbagos planted but are with white flowers and not very attractives for me, I prefer the sky blue flowers.
But her I will place photos of the all plumbagos for that you can look.
Is a very common landscape plant in s. florida (U S) Comes in red white and at least 3 shades of blue .
Can't imag ine how it would grow in Colombia !!lol Very rampant I have 3 patches over 10 feet in both directions with constant pruning. IT does stay in flower year around
no pests and I love blue flowers!! lol
Have never tried to propagate it as it's very common in nurseries here .. Pick an area where the is enough area to expand against a fence is good. gary

I am running Android 4.1.2 on Crash Rom V1.6 with Kernel Version 3.4.5.
Root apps installed are Titanium Backup, Greenify, AdAway, AFwall+ (disabled), Quick CPU Overclock
This is the troubleshooting that I have already done:
-Forget Network
-Turn Off Wifi
-Turn On Wifi
-Repeat the above, but restart before turning wifi back on
-Wipe Cache in Recovery
-Factory Reset
-WiFi Roaming Fix
The network is built on a set of WiFi repeaters that use WPA2 PSK authentication.
I do not have access to the network (router) settings, so modifying router settings will not work
When entering a correct password, the device will try to connect but will not displace "Obtaining IP Address".
Instead, the device will show "saved, secured" and "authentication error' after a while.
The device will connect to most other networks that I have tried (Tethering on my Lumia 920, D-Link DIR 655 at home)
Thoughts? This is getting slowly becoming frustrating!

After installing the F# September CTP (22.214.171.124), Visual Studio 2008 frequently gives an error "Microsoft Visual C# IntelliSense has stopped working" which promptly crashes all of Visual Studio. I tried the tips mentioned in a similar SO article such as "devenv.exe /ResetSettings", deleting the ncb file (which actually didn't exist), and installing the latest service pack (SP1) but no luck. Also tried reinstalling F#, nothing. This specifically happens in a C# unit test project that references my F# project and when I start to type things like [TestMethod] or "= new Tuple<List<int>,int,int> { Item1 = ". That's why I'm guessing it's related to F#. Incidentally I have ReSharper installed but disabled. Anyway, wondering if anyone else has had this problem and/or solved it. Otherwise any thoughts/ideas would be much appreciated.

Verified Purchase(What is this?)
This review is from: Panasonic TX-P42ST50B 42-inch Widescreen Full HD 1080p 3D Ready Plasma TV with Freeview and Smart Viera - Black (New for 2012) (Electronics)
Bought this Panasonic TX-P42ST50B (the 42" version) as a replacement for my six year old Panasonic 32" LCD which I've now moved to a new location. Always tend to stick to brands that I am familiar with, and as a bit of a Panasonic fan, had been waiting for their 2012 models and delighted with the new, much smaller "Samsung-esque" thin edges and crystal frame.
This is my first Plasma TV and have to say I am very happy. I spent a while researching and reading reviews and opinions online before I committed to this one. Winning several "Best Buy" or "Recommendation" awards from Tech Sites swayed me somewhat! (I was also considering the TX-L42DT50B LED, but the fact that was almost �500 more expensive than this one, I made the jump to Plasma).
Ordered on Wednesday afternoon at 3pm and Amazon delivered the following morning at 8am via City Link, so whilst I've only had it a few days, I am still finding my feet and still twiddling with settings and so on (and expect I'll continue to tweak it for a little while yet).
First impressions; Screen uniformity is very good, I have not noticed any splodges, smudging, blobs, banding or anything unusual. Watching Freeview HD is very good indeed providing a much better picture than their SD counterparts. That said, SD upconversion is far far better than on my previous LCD and more than acceptable. Obviously will never be as good as a dedicated HD source, but it's still good! Nice to see that Panasonic have listened to gripes regarding their intrusive use of Advertising on the Freeview TV Guide, and they have now been sent to the bin and no longer plague the set! (Hooray!) so can see more of the actual guide on screen. Still no Thumbnail of the channel you are on in the corner though, which would have been nice, but still, maybe next year, or maybe with a software update that will eventually arrive.
Sound. Has a couple of different sound modes built in, so whilst true cinema addicts and audiophiles will want to plug in a dedicated AV or Home Cinema Receiver with speakers, it's still adequate and does a decent job of providing good levels of audio, which will be perfectly fine for a lot of people. I've got it connected to an Onkyo HTS-4505 Home Cinema via Viera Link.
Viera Connect/Cast. Nice to see a built in WiFi (and a wired LAN as well if you prefer), so no need to buy separate cumbersome dongles or bridges, works straight out the box and simple to set up. BBCi Player, in HD mode is absolutely gorgeous. Never seen BBCi Player look so good! (I used to connect my laptop to the old LCD via a HDMI lead as a "2nd Screen" and watch it on the screen that way, but this blows it out the water, looks great). Be good to see ITV Player, 4/5 On Demand or even Sky Go appear at some point. As I subscribe to LoveFilm, disappointed that Panasonic still haven't (yet) provided access to LoveFilm via their service, instead partnering with NetFlix and AceTrax. Again, maybe this will arrive in the future, I hope so anyway! I guess most of the apps on there won't be used by most people, but things like BBC iPlayer, BBC News, Facebook and Twitter will be the apps most will get some time from.
If you have an IOS (Apple iPad/iPod Touch/iPhone) or Android device, you can download the Panasonic Viera Remote App from the relevant store to act as a remote control - particularly handy for the Keyboard as using the normal TV Remote is clunky and a time consuming pain in the derrière! Makes it much easier!
Hooking up my Sky+HD receiver, brings the TV to life. Watching parts of Transformers Dark Side of the Moon, Super 8 and Alice in Wonderland just look absolutely gorgeous, crisp, colourful and the black levels are spot on, no light greys or trails on fast panning or action, smooth, perfect frankly!
3D - Only got a set of 3D glasses this morning, so haven't really tested out that aspect of things, but Soccer AM on Sky3D looked pretty good! And Panasonic have a Showcase of 3D videos in their Viera Connect service and took the guided tour of the British Museum in London not long ago and that was very good! Sure there's some tweaks I can make to settings to make it even better, but my first impression of 3D is good. Haven't got any 3D Blu-Rays (as don't have a 3D player yet) so can't test any of that out.
Blu-Ray Movies. Had a bit of a play around with that and played the new version of "The Thing" in both normal mode and turning on the 24p Output option (which seemed to be much smoother and crisper). I don't really understand what the difference is with 24p output and normal 60hz, so will have to do a bit more research on that before I can decide what's best! But Blu-Rays either way look better than they have ever done.
External USB .. Downloaded some MKV content and popped that onto a USB stick and into the slot on the side of the set. Recognised I'd plugged it in and played it with no problem at all and looks far better on the big screen than it does on my 17" laptop!
Overall, I am delighted with it at the moment and would recommend it to anyone thinking about buying it!

Very good review Mr Potter, i'm also looking into a panasonic plasma to replace my ageing LG 32" plasma, have you done any gaming on the set (ps3) just wondering what your thoughts are.

Malcolm M says:
Movies on blu ray are 24fps, well really they are 23.976fps, anyways its best to turn off most of the "enhancements" on the television and also use the 24fps option when viewing a blu ray film, there is an indepth review of the tv at the site below. If you must have 24p smooth film on then set it to Min or it will create a video look rather than a film look on movies. ( of course you might like the video look, i don't and prefer a film look )
A sample of that review, read the whole review at the site.
We performed a fresh black level calibration of our Klein Instruments K-10 meter - one of the few calibration devices which can measure black levels as dark as the best Plasma televisions can muster - and then measured a fully black screen from the TX-P42ST50. To our eyes, the black level was definitely something special, so we were happy to see the measurement come in at 0.009 cd/m2, which is an outstanding black level, especially for such an affordable HDTV. We haven't seen blacks at this level since the high-end VT20 series in 2010. The recently reviewed TX-P65VT30, a top-of-the-line display costing many thousands of pounds, performed similarly well (measuring at 0.011 cd/m2), but we weren't expecting blacks this deep on a mid-range television with a 3-figure price tag. It's one of the best HDTVs we've ever tested in this regard, tied in second place and only beaten by the considerably more expensive and discontinued Pioneer PDP-LX5090. The Panasonic TX-P42ST50B features the best black level we're ever seen from an HDTV costing less than �1800.
Benchmark Test Results
Dead pixels None
Screen uniformity Usually excellent, full white screen reveals very mild yellow-green tint in middle, with certain picture contents
Overscanning on HDMI 0% with [16:9 Overscan] set to "Off"
Blacker than black Passed
Calibrated black level (black screen) 0.009 cd/m2
Calibrated black level (ANSI checkerboard) 0.012 cd/m2
Black level retention Stable
Primary chromaticity Excellent
Scaling Excellent
Video mode deinterlacing Very effective jaggies reduction
Film mode deinterlacing Passed 2-2 PAL and 3-2 NTSC tests
Viewing angle Excellent, screen filter blocks ceiling lighting, so vertical viewing angle lessened
Motion resolution Excellent (1080)
Digital noise reduction Present, optional
Sharpness No edge enhancement noticed during viewing, mild artefacts with Luma zone plate
Luma/Chroma bandwidth (2D Blu-ray) Full Luma, Full horizontal chroma, barely noticeable vertical limitation
Image retention Very little, clears quickly
Posterization Very small "hardened" edges during fast motion
Phosphor trails Mild, some red trailing noted
1080p/24 capability No judder in 2D, 3D tests coming soon
Input lag Excellent: 16ms compared to lag-free CRT
Full 4:4:4 reproduction (PC) No, 4:4:4 input subsampled
A side note about [24p Smooth Film]: in addition to the "Off" option which we elected to use, there are three processing settings: Min, Mid and Max. We couldn't see "Min" doing anything at all, and we even ran our completely brutal motion interpolation tests (designed to sniff out TVs which apply unwanted motion smoothing), which "Min" passed with flying colours, indicating that it doesn't actually seem to do anything. "Mid" produces smoothed video-like "soap opera" motion, and "Max" does the same, but at a different panel refresh rate, and presumably with more intensity.

Hi, no not at all, they are probably use to led tv's which can be brighter compared to plasma. I have direct sunlight through my living room am, so i tend to put the tv on a brighter setting if need be. the true cinema setting is pretty spot on for blu rays in the evening/night. My pana plasma is coming up to a year old and is better than ever. No negatives what so ever.

Looks as good as hoped
Julie from Birmingham, AL– Verified Buyer
Have looked for a long time for a new TV stand & just couldn't find anything I really liked, until...... I happened across this piece of furniture & fell in love with it. Just knew that since I liked it so much, it would be a shoddy production. WRONG!!! This is very well made and looks even better than I hoped. Very happy with this purchase
Love this piece
cory from New York, NY– Verified Buyer
Gorgeous piece! Even nicer than expected, very sturdy, and looks great with a tv hanging over it. The top compartments open out so they can stay open for the cable box and such but close to hide them when not in use. We love it
Perfect addition.

Kohima: Taking strong exception to its rival`s assertions on the proposed peace talks between Naga leaders and the Centre, NSCN(I-M) on Sunday claimed that it had the "unequivocal mandate" of the people to hold political dialogue on their behalf.
Dismissing the recent statement of its rival NSCN(K) on peace parleys as "unwarranted and misleading", the NSCN(I-M) said it had been holding talks with the Government of India since 1997 as a single entity representing the entire Naga group.
During such a discussion at its headquarters `Camp Hebron` in January 2005, the Naga people gave "unequivocal mandate" to the outfit to carry on the political dialogue with
the Government of India more actively to clinch an honourable settlement for all the Nagas and the Nagalim at the earliest, the statement claimed.
Ahead of meetings with political leadership, the Naga leaders will hold talks with Pandey on March two and three, they said.
The two leaders were also expected to visit Nagaland besides addressing to the issue of clashes between the cadres of NSCN-IM and its rival NSCN (Khaplang), which resulted in unrest in the recent past.
Sources in the government said they would try and iron out the differences with the Centre on key issues, including the sovereignty demand under which the NSCN-IM has proposed a federal relationship with the Indian Union.

Google Maps coming for iOS, sources doubt approval
A Google Maps app for iOS is reportedly in development and could be released by year's end, but sources at Google are "not optimistic" the app will be approved by Apple, according to a report from The Guardian. Sources say plans are only proceeding in "the unlikely event" of the app's approval. A number of reasons are given as to why sources speculate Apple won't approve Google Maps, from industry politics to the current App Store setup, which lacks any mapping app using Google Maps APIs in the "Find maps for your iPhone" section of the store. It's also noted, however, that Google and Apple are still in constant communication, so an agreement between the companies could be made quickly.

I don't see Apple having problems approving this app. The only reason they may reject it would be if Google was using some unauthorised means to track User data.
Otherwise, given that other mapping apps are available on the App Store, this is likely to turn up as well.
The other factor is that there are other Google Apps already available on the App Store, including the new Google Search with Voice search. It is said to be a competitor to Siri, but Apple had no qualms in approving that for the App Store.
So maybe the 'sources' are being a bit too pessimistic. Or maybe I'm just being a bit too naive.
Posted by Phil Dzikiy on November 6, 2012 at 1:07 AM (CST)
I agree with #1. Apple and Google may be going head to head, but Apple does not seem to be trying to shut Google out entirely. They dropped YouTube from the basic iOS build and then relied/allowed Google to introduce it as a stand alone app. I can easily see the same scenario here. It would be just one more mapping app in the iTunes App Store.
The big change on the Apple side is that they are cutting the internal ties to Google. Where Google was the built in maps, YouTube and search, Apple has relegated them to the iTunes Store…with everyone else. It is a symbolic stand really. Nothing else. And with the disappointment in Apple Maps, they really can't afford the PR nightmare of blocking the industry standard mapping that Google would provide. Tim Cook is aware of this. And, where Steve Jobs may have faught this tooth-and-nail, Tim Cook will acept it as the best scenario for the customer. Then they can put the effort into making Apple Maps a more competitive option. Make it a tougher choice in the future…
Posted by Phil Dzikiy on November 6, 2012 at 9:05 AM (CST)
I'd be surprised to see them turn it down as well. It is, regardless of what Apple feels about it, a Google services world out there. Any untoward efforts toward blocking desired services from iOS devices can only hurt Apple and push more people toward Android.

EU Charges Samsung With Abusing Vital Telecoms Patent 96
from the jig-is-up dept.
We've improved Slashdot's video section; now you can view our video interviews, product close-ups and site visits with all the usual Slashdot options to comment, share, etc. No more walled garden! It's a work in progress -- we hope you'll check it out (Learn more about the recent updates).
I wouldn't go that far. It's good to encourage companies to contribute to standards so that we actually do get standards and not every company for itself. But I think it would be a good idea for open licensing terms to be part of any standards submission. So Samsung can suggest patented tech X as a standard, but that needs to come along with a statement that X will be licensed for 3 cents per device to anyone who wants to use it. The license should cover all reasonably foreseeable use cases, and any that come up later get decided by the standards body. Nothing would stop Samsung from also offering a different license agreement to anyone, but the standard one would always also be on the table.
People will buy anything that's one to a customer.
