Linking the expenses incurred on the Planning Commission Deputy Chairman's overseas visits with the poverty index created by the Commission ("The austerity of the affluent," May 21) is far-fetched. That way, everyone in the government, right from the Prime Minister, can be questioned. I do not think huge social spending projects are based on this poverty index. They are much more inclusive.
We need not grudge the corporate sector the huge sops it gets. It is a large employment provider and helps the government in its work. However, it is important to take on those elite critics who keep questioning the government on its social sector spending without offering alternative models.

Comment links: an experiment
As you might know, I do a lot of blog SEO. My article on WordPress SEO pretty much sums up my ideas about it, but to get those ideas, sometimes you'll need to experiment. One of the things I've always been a strong proponent of, is the use of nofollow to sculpt internal PageRank. Now Matt has made that sort of impossible (at least that's what he says), so I'm looking at other tactics.
But if you stop using nofollow for PageRank sculpting, maybe you should also stop using it in other areas. I've been thinking about what I should be doing with the links in my comments for a while now. Even though nofollow still works to prevent link juice from going to those sites, links associated to comment authors are, at best, fun, but hardly ever add anything to the conversation.
So why should you link out to comment authors? Sometimes it helps to understand their background and makes the conversation easier, so when a post is fresh, and still being commented on, it provides a sort of usability to be able to click through to the commenters side. But that effect is gone when the comments have "died".

Good Morning America co-anchor Lara Spencer is a life-long yard saler. She grew up happily following her mom to garage sales, auctions, flea markets, and thrift stores, and on the way, learned what to look for and how to turn those second-hand finds into stylish interior design. For Spencer, a former host of Antiques Roadshow, "junque" hunting is more than a hobby. She moonlights as an antiques dealer and interior designer, and clients often can't believe the down-and-dirty provenance of each treasure. Spencer also explains how to rescue, recycle, and reinvent secondhand items and details the simple fixes that turn someone else's trash into your instant heirloom.--From publisher description.

Inno3D GeForce 8800GT OC 512MB - Benchmarks - 3DMark06Inno3D's 8800GT OC sets itself apart from stock models with its higher clocks, but is it deserving of the price premium?
Version and / or Patch Used: Build 110
Developer Homepage: http://www.futuremark.com
Product Homepage: http://www.futuremark.com/products/3dmark06/
3DMark06 is the very latest version of the "Gamers Benchmark" from FutureMark. The newest version of 3DMark expands on the tests in 3DMark05 by adding graphical effects using Shader Model 3.0 and HDR (High Dynamic Range lighting) which will push even the best DX9 graphics cards to the extremes.
3DMark06 also focuses on not just the GPU but the CPU using the AGEIA PhysX software physics library to effectively test single and Dual Core processors.
Those gains become better again when the cards are placed under more pressure.

death from all-causes & from heart disease. However, these observation studies don't demonstrate cause & effect. But as the Rolling Stones say, you can't always get what you want . So in this case, I'll settle for an observational study published this month in the American Journal of Medicine in which the authors concluded that 25OH vitamin D less than 21ng/mL was linked to an increase risk of all-cause & cardiovascular mortality.It turns out that there are plenty of studies linking low vitamin D to greater risk of
In a fashion not unlike that of the National Security Administration, except with permission & proper supervision, the authors gathered data from 10,170 men & women avg 47yo participating in the National Health & Nutrition Examination Study and correlated this with the National Death Index for an average of just under 4yrs. They noted that low levels of 25OH vitamin D, up to what's currently considered insufficiency at 21ng/mL, were associated with increase risk of death from both all-causes & heart disease. This is consistent w/recent reviews concluding that "normal" values in 30-100ng/mL range do not improve upon outcomes.
Yet despite the fact that this study supports the trend of studies linking vitamin D to our health, there's still no conclusive proof of cause & effect. So what are we to do in the meantime? Well, the good news is that unless you exceed 100ng/mL, it's unlikely that you'll suffer from hypercalcemia & other maladies. In other words, vitamin D supplementation appears to be safe, as far as we currently know. Which then makes it easier to consider supplementation if we don't have time to wait around for a cause & effect trial. Of course, this is something that should be discussed w/your family physician. And don't forget to think like Goldilocks. You want your 25OH vitamin D level just right, not too high & clearly, not too low.

This application claims the benefit of U.S. Provisional Application No. 60/310,487, filed Aug. 8, 2001, the entire disclosure of the application is considered part of the disclosure of this application and is hereby incorporated by reference.
The present invention relates to a conveyor system and, more particularly, to a system that includes a workpiece carrier plate and a belt conveyor that transports the plate and workpiece.
Manufacturing facilities, particularly automobile assembly plants in Europe, have for some time used moving pallets or skillets to conveyor large parts such as vehicle bodies. The skillets are larger than the workpiece so as to permit a worker to ride the skillet along with the workpiece and to perform a production task as the skillet passes through a production area.
A representative prior art configuration of a plurality of skillets within a production area is shown in FIG. 1. The skillets 10, 12, and 14 are moved through the production area in a train such that adjacent skillets abut one another. The train is driven by friction drive assemblies which may include opposed drive mechanisms 18 and 20 located at the entrance to the production area. Each drive assembly has friction wheels that are positionable to engage the sides of the skillets and push the skillets forward in an end-to-end train through the production area. Retarding friction drives 24 maintain the abutting relationship of the skillets within the production area while acceleration drives 26 may be used to accelerate the skillets exiting the production area. Each skillet also includes wheels 28 that extend from the underside of its platform and ride on guide rails.
The skillet itself has robust construction that provides a sturdy platform for the workers, sufficient structural strength to accommodate the loadings, and a side surface depth that permits engagement by the friction drive wheels. To achieve the desired strength, skillets commonly include a robust steel frame and wood decking. While a robust design is generally necessary to accommodate the operational requirements of existing skillet systems, the strength comes at a cost, greater weight and expense. Moreover, the guide rails, friction drive assemblies, and other components of existing skillet systems are correspondingly robust, heavy, complex, and costly.
A further deficiency in the art with respect to friction driven skillet systems relates to maintaining the skillets in end-to-end abutting relationship throughout the production area. Specifically, despite the use of retarding drives, non-uniform movement of skillets within the train can create gaps between adjacent skillets. These gaps interrupt the continuity of the worker platform. The depth of existing skillets and the necessity for installation pits can create undesirably large elevation drops in the gaps.
With the above in mind, a need exists for a conveyor system that provides the benefits of existing skillet systems, particularly the continuous working platform that moves with the workpiece, while addressing the deficiencies in the prior art. The present invention is directed to a conveyor system that includes a drive assembly and a carrier plate. The drive assembly includes a frame, a drive belt, and a drive mechanism supported by the frame and engaging the drive belt. The carrier plate is adapted to support a workpiece and is disposed on the drive belt to move with the drive belt.
Further scope of applicability of the present invention will become apparent from the following detailed description, claims, and drawings. However, it should be understood that the detailed description and specific examples, while indicating preferred embodiments of the invention, are given by way of illustration only, since various changes and modifications within the spirit and scope of the invention will become apparent to those skilled in the art.
The present invention will become more fully understood from the detailed description given here below, the appended claims, and the accompanying drawings in which:
A detailed description of an embodiment of the present invention will now be provided with reference to
As is best illustrated in
The drive mechanism 44 is illustrated in the appended drawings to include a drive motor 46 and a rotating drive shaft 48 having toothed sprockets that mechanically engage a slot in the belt or belts. The mechanical engagement, as opposed to frictional engagement commonly used by fabric conveyor belt drives, positively tracks the belt to the drive mechanism. The drive belt 42 illustrated in
The support frame 40 may have a variety of configurations designed to support the anticipated loads as well as provide a low friction support surface for all or each of the belt segments. As is generally known in the art, the support frame 40 may include an extruded aluminum structure covered on the upper bearing surface by an ultra-high molecular weight plastic sheet 62. The sheet may be fixed to the frame by conventional means, such as double-sided tape, mechanical fasteners, adhesives, and the like. The use of some manner of adhesive or double-sided tape provides the additional benefit of eliminating the use of mechanical fasteners that may adversely effect the smoothness of the slide surface. The frame and sheet support the modular plastic drive belt 42 in a manner that adequately distributes the loads to the frame while providing a low friction surface engaging the moving belt. This and similar frame arrangements provide an effective drive for the plates 34 while permitting the plates to have a less robust design than conventional skillets thereby decreasing the weight, cost, and complexity of the carrier plate design.
As is illustrated in the drawings and noted above, each workpiece is coupled to and moves with a carrier plate 34. Three adjacent carrier plates 34 a, 34 b, and 34 c are illustrated in
As noted above, the carrier plates 34 preferably have a low profile and are light in weight relative to prior art skillets. The carrier plates 34 are preferably substantially rigid so as to permit the transfer of the carriers to and from the belts of each drive assembly as well as between transfer mechanisms and the drive belts while having a design and material characteristics that accommodate the loading of a particular application. Notwithstanding the variety of acceptable configurations and materials, it is contemplated that the carrier plate may include a frame, such as from aluminum as well as a continuous top member, such as wood, to provide the support surface for the workers about the workpiece. While the height or thickness of a carrier may vary depending on a specific application, it is commonly desirable to minimize the thickness of the carrier plate which may, in many instances, be approximately 1 inch or less. These low profile carrier plates are capable of supporting large and heavy workpieces such as the illustrated automobile bodies due, in part, to the distributed support provided by the underlying belt 42 and frame 40. As noted above, it should be appreciated that the carriers may be manufactured of a variety of materials depending on the desired performance characteristics.
The low profile of the carrier plate not only reduces the overall weight and cost of the carrier and the overall conveyor system, but it also provides other operational benefits. For example, adjacent carriers are preferably arranged in abutting engagement as shown in
Just as with conventional power systems, it may be desirable in certain applications to continuously or intermittently communicate power to the carrier plates. The power may be used in a variety of ways such as, for example, to power a scissor-lift 92 (
As noted above, the assembly formed by the workpiece and carrier are preferably passed to and from the drive belt as a unit. A representative transfer arrangement is illustrated in
The foregoing discussion discloses and describes an exemplary embodiment of the present invention. One skilled in the art will readily recognize from such discussion, and from the accompanying drawings and claims that various changes, modifications and variations can be made therein without departing from the true spirit and fair scope of the invention as defined by the following claims.

transom window treatments
I have a transom window over my dining room window. Can you show me how you did your curtains for those of you who have them. REALLY trying to get this dining room finished.
Thanks in advance
hope this helps, I did google some pics and found my fav was the half rods with the non stationary drapes. I dont need drapes for privacy just want to add texture.
My experience is most people go over them to add height and block out the sun. But I have installed many below leaving transom open. After about a year or two,I am back at a good percentage of those people homes switching to a new treatment to cover them to block out the sun.
Here is a link that might be useful: Panel Track With Transom Open
I hung my drapes below the transom in DH's study...it's a north facing room so sunlight isn't an issue.
Like Annie, I put the treatment (not drapes, though) below the transom:
If we decide to put window treatments in our adjacent dining area, we'll also leave the transom exposed there, as not much direct light comes in through that top window, and privacy isn't an issue.

02/08/2015, One Nnight Taco Stand
We were driving down the road a few months back when the song "One Night Taco Stand" came on the radio. We managed to keep the car on the road singing and laughing and by the time the song had ended, Jason had already downloaded the song to his smart phone. So sit back, relax and smile along.
01/06/2015, Talking about RO Membranes
It may be more than you ever wanted to know about water maker RO Membranes, but the truth is the more you know about RO Membranes the better you will be at selecting the right water maker for you and maintaining the water maker you may already have.
While sitting at the desk working I saw the blue hull of the Morro Bay Harbor Patrol boat landing on THIRD DAY through the port hulls. Now of course my first thought was:
"oh no, what have one of the kids done now? Was Jason planning through the mooring field again?"
My fears were only increased when I saw two nicely dressed official looking ladies also in the Patrol boat with clipboards. Well it turns out they were from the Morro Bay Beautiful community organization and had hitched a ride out from the Harbor Patrol to award us First Place in the "Best use of Lights Category"!
It was the first time they said the award was given to a boat, but since we lived aboard their only real concern was how to get out to us to give us the award, but the harbor Patrol solved that for them. I do have the say the new LED lights do look pretty good and use barely any power! In honor of the Dad from "Christmas Story" I'm calling it my "Major Award" just without the leg lamp! But given I'm a guy that loves to eat, I'll take the gift certificate to Karla's Kitchen...a fisherman's favorite place, and you know what that means...Chicken Fried Steak the size of the plate baby!
It's hard to believe this is our 7th Christmas while living aboard a boat, but as Lori and I keep saying...as long as it's fun...we will keep doing it.
Everyone have a blessed Christmas from the Crew of THIRD DAY.

Expert Travel Advice to Punta Cana
30 Things Every Traveler Must Do Before They're 30They say life begins at 30, but that doesn't mean you shouldn't squeeze as much adventure as possible into your 20s.

Seven Budget-Friendly Caribbean VacationsThe Caribbean is famous for secluded beaches, quaint island towns, and year-round sunshine.

Top Answers To Punta Cana Travel Questions
Two great choices should meet your requirements (and both of which are reviewed in Away.com's guide to family vacations in the Dominican Republic at: http://vacation.away.com/dominican-republic/travel-v2-cid309-dominican+republic-cid350262-family-vacations.html): Paradisus Palma Real and Club Med Punta Cana.
The currency is the Dominican Peso. The weather is tropical, so it will be mainly warm. Do not drink the tap water, only drink bottled or purified water.
JoeBee asked:Answer this1 AnswerAlistair answered:I doubt you will find much free windsurfing in Punta Cana, though many of the island's all-inclusive resorts will offer free windsurfing instruction as well as equipment. You might look at resorts including Dreams Punta Cana (http://bit.ly/uAVFtT), Excellence Punta Cana (http://bit.ly/xcZSP5), and Club Med Punta Cana (http://bit.ly/yMTvzI).
Weather at this time of the year tends to be very comfortable, staying in the mid-70s to 80s, with not much humidity. Punta Cana stays a little cooler given its more exposed setting on DR's eastern end, though not by much (its breezier location also spells great windsurfing and kiteboarding!).

Stephanie Kwolek, Kevlar inventor, dies at 90
DOVER, Del. (AP) — Police Lt. David Spicer took four .45-caliber slugs to the chest and arms at point-blank range and lived to tell about it. Like thousands of other police officers and soldiers shot in the line of duty, he owes his life to a woman in Delaware by the name of Stephanie Kwolek.
Kwolek, who died Wednesday at 90, was a DuPont Co. chemist who in 1965 invented Kevlar, the lightweight, stronger-than-steel fiber used in bulletproof vests and other body armor around the world.
A pioneer as a woman in a heavily male field, Kwolek made the breakthrough while working on specialty fibers at a DuPont laboratory in Wilmington. At the time, DuPont was looking for strong, lightweight fibers that could replace steel in automobile tires and improve fuel economy.
"I knew that I had made a discovery," Kwolek said in an interview several years ago that was included in the Chemical Heritage Foundation's "Women in Chemistry" series. "I didn't shout 'Eureka,' but I was very excited, as was the whole laboratory excited, and management was excited because we were looking for something new, something different, and this was it."
Spicer was wearing a Kevlar vest when he was shot by a drug suspect in 2001. Two rounds shattered his left arm, ripping open an artery. A third was deflected by his badge. The last one hit his nametag, bending it into a horseshoe shape, before burrowing into his vest, leaving a 10-inch tear.
"If that round would have entered my body, I wouldn't be talking to you right now," the Dover police officer said.
While recovering from his wounds, Spicer spoke briefly by telephone with Kwolek and thanked her.
"She was a tremendous woman," he said.
In a statement, DuPont CEO and Chairwoman Ellen Kullman described Kwolek, who retired in 1986, as "a creative and determined chemist and a true pioneer for women in science."
Kwolek is the only female employee of DuPont to be awarded the company's Lavoisier Medal for outstanding technical achievement. She was recognized as a "persistent experimentalist and role model."
"She leaves a wonderful legacy of thousands of lives saved and countless injuries prevented by products made possible by her discovery," Kullman said.
During the "Women in Chemistry" interview, Kwolek recounted the development of Kevlar. She said she found a solvent that was able to dissolve long-chain polymers into a solution that was much thinner and more watery than other polymer solutions. She persuaded a skeptical colleague to put the solution into a spinneret, which turns liquid polymers into fibers.
"We spun it and it spun beautifully," she recalled. "It was very strong and very stiff, unlike anything we had made before."
The exceptionally tough fibers she produced were several times stronger by weight than steel. So strong, according to friend and former colleague Rita Vasta, that DuPont had to get new equipment to test the tensile strength.
"DuPont was big in Nylon, Dacron," Vasta explained. "This was way stronger than any of those types of fibers."

For me personally, Misty's gym was always the hardest gym to beat. I always chose Charmander or Squirtle but never bulbasaur. I remember the first time I played red I had no idea what to do So I had a Blastoise lv 70 by the first gym and a Pidgeot lv 67 so the gyms were easy back then. Lol.
