You know what cures depression?
Having the dignity and forthought to put efort into your own life. Make decisions, and don't listen to the addicted EGO that wants to smoke.
It is a toxin. Simple. It may distract you from your unpleasant life, but it won't solve anything.
Maybe put the cig out and think about your life.
If your emotions are dictated from a substence, that's addiction.
Once in addiction you are no longer your self.
Once you are no longer yourself you are susceptible to ideas and information that plague your weak mind and overload your system. This creates the useless human paradigm.
Now you are not yourself, the world is too big, you are focused on the reality of your addicted ego and the cigarette, ultimately never getting anything done because your emotions and motivation are run by a rolled up tube of disease.
Take two shots of vodka in the morning, that will trigger desires and wants while blocking out the static(we are bombarded with more information than we are used to every day, it clogs are mental circuits and confuses us if we don't sort it out. Hence watching the t.v and turning the brain of is bad. All those images go into your subconcious, and you sort them out later in your dreams. Its confusing, not enlightenment btw.) and is a goodway to counter act nicotine adiction.
Harmless rant.
Anonymous Coward 31679360
What use to be UK and USA was made by men largely addicted to smoking: 82% in UK in 1948 and 43% in US in 1965 (
Thread: The anti-smoking conspircy
Most of the people that made breakthrough discoveries were smokers as well.
Now you can "two shots of vodka" and forget all of that!
Anonymous Coward 33278649
that has nothing to do with the smoking you silly silly person.
A genius is a genius regardless of what he puts in his body. Its a way of understanding he has discovered. Smoking simply kills him quicker and distracts him while doing so.
Most people that make breakthroughs wouldn't attribute it to smoking. Regardless if your statement was the vaguest blanket sentence to be right I have ever read.
alcohol on the other hand is healthy in small doses.
so...don't really know why you would defend a toxic substance.
Just burn the shit, its a black tar. I mean come on child.

* Georgetown Law is teaming up with DLA Piper and Arent Fox to open a low bono law firm. The firm will provide two things for those in need: affordable legal services and jobs to bolster GULC's employment stats. [Am Law Daily]
* Michigan Law will provide summer funding for all of its 1Ls for law-related internships — but there's a catch. The cash is a loan, and students may have to pay it back if they earn Biglaw money the following summer. [Michigan Law]
* Judge Jed Rakoff sounded off on the judicary's problem with mass incarceration at a recent conference at Harvard Law, calling for his colleagues and bar associations across the nation to take a stand for the accused with a gentler justice system. [Big Law Business / Bloomberg BNA]
* "It's positive news. I think it indicates there's some slight opening of financial services to marijuana-related businesses." Some banks have finally decided to provide services to weedpreneurs, but others are leaving marijuana moguls high and dry. [WSJ Law Blog]
* "Students should seriously consider going to law school in a state where they plan to practice law." Unless you like wasting your time, you'd do well to listen to this advice, even if you're going to a school with national name recognition. [U.S. News & World Report]
The Road Not Taken: Help Me Help You
Legal interns: show you're interested in something and be specific about your direction to make the most of your summer jobs.
Biglaw bonuses this year were insane. In an industry that usually plays "follow the leader" when it comes to associate bonuses, this year felt more like a poker tournament.For a full recap of the 2014 bonus season, fill out this brief form and receive ATL's Biglaw Bonus Poker infographic.

* According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, the legal sector added 2,300 jobs in 2014. Our sincere condolences go out to all those who are still "too overqualified but too under-experienced," all at the same time, to get hired. [Am Law Daily]
* This lawyer protested jury duty by emailing the judge to say she'd "blame the plaintiff" for making her work nights and weekends for her client, but she can only blame herself for having to spend the night in jail. Oopsie! [Daily Report (reg. req.)]
* "Would it be great if all unpaid internships paid really well? Sure. It would also be great if my dog made breakfast for me every morning, but I am not going to file a lawsuit over it." Yep. [Los Angeles Times]
* The law school transparency movement has come quite far since its inception, but there's a lot of room for improvement. Encourage your school to hurry up and "publish what it has at its fingertips." [Law.com]
* UVA Law held its Softball Invitational this weekend. A Duke Law dude emailed us to say his school sucks at basketball, but it's awesome at law school softball. Sweet accomplishment, brah. [Newsplex]

'Tits Or GTFO' Now A Legitimate Requirement For Unpaid Interns
Unpaid interns cannot sue for sexual harassment, because men rule the world.
Our Kinney Asia team is working on an exclusive basis to fill a PE fund formation opening, class '10 to '12, at a top Wall St. firm and at one of the leading PE fund formation practices in Hong Kong. Mandarin is NOT required for this position. Native level English fluency is required.
Please feel free to reach out to us at firstname.lastname@example.com if you are interested and we will be happy to set up a call to discuss all the details of this opening (and the Hong Kong fund formation market in general).

* With a sharp focus on the Supreme Court and the legal definition of equality, only one thing's for sure with respect to this week's anticipated rulings: at least one group of people is probably going to get screwed. [New York Times]
* And lest we forget, thanks to our society's near slavish obsession with social media and knowledge on demand, we'll salivate uncontrollably as we wait for those opinions while the justices blissfully ignore new technology. [New York Times]
* The Justice Department charged NSA leaker Edward Snowden with espionage, and now he's pursuing political asylum in Ecuador with the assistance of legal counsel representing WikiLeaks. [NBC News]
* Biglaw firms are trying to strengthen their pricing power in a post-recession world, with average rate increases of 4.8% in 2012, and hourly rates soaring in New York City. [Wall Street Journal (sub. req.)]
* There were some bright spots in the otherwise dismal NALP job numbers for the class of 2012. Biglaw hiring is up, and so are median starting salaries. Sallie Mae is pleased as punch. [National Law Journal]
* If you're considering law school, ask yourself these questions before applying. You should also ask yourself if you're cool with unemployment. [Law Admissions Lowdown / U.S. News & World Report]
* Richard Trenk, author of the "ham-fisted" cease-and-desist letter that's been read around the world, has been honored as the New Jersey Star-Ledger's "Knucklehead of the Week." Congrats! [Star-Ledger]
* There's no solace for people who have had to pay to have their mug shot "depublished" from the internet. Sorry, the First Amendment allows people to turn a profit off your misery. [Washington Post]
* This lawsuit over unpaid internships filed against Gawker will sting any gossip girl's heart to the core. But really, isn't the privilege of working for Gawker enough? This fangirl thinks so. [New York Post]

* Texas law student/international small-arms dealer Cody Wilson got shot down (pun!) days after revealing a fully security-proof 3D printable gun. The State Department pointed out that Wilson seems to be violating all manner of international arms agreements, which was pretty obvious when he went on video boasting about how his weapons were being used in hotbeds of civil strife. [Foreign Policy: Passport]
* The Juice may soon be loose! But probably not. O.J. Simpson has a hearing seeking a new trial in Vegas and blaming his former lawyer, Yale Galanter. Best part? Simpson claims Galanter approved the whole "armed, threatening confrontation" plan beforehand. Oops. [FOX News]
* Michael Arrington, a lawyer and "one of the most powerful people on the Internet," is suing his ex-girlfriend for defamation. The complaint compiles some pretty salacious claims that she made via social media. [Valleywag]
* Just when you thought being an unpaid intern couldn't be sadder, Judge Baer makes it sadder. [Fashionista]
* The "Thug's Lawyer" got a reprieve when a judge tossed his indictment for conspiracy, obstruction of justice, theft, and perjury. [The Advocate]
* The EEOC filed suit against a Miami company that required its employees to become Scientologists. In other news, someone actually thought they could get away with making all their employees join the Church of Scientology. [Lowering the Bar]
* The history of the Madison Avenue IPOs alluded to in last week's Mad Men. [DealBook]

* "It's totally reasonable to spend $75 just for a shot at an unpaid internship," said no one ever. [Craigslist]
* Kirkland & Ellis (or any Biglaw firm) handing out advice on women and "work/life balance" should elicit exactly this response. [UChiLawGo]
* Reading Above the Law can make you money. Sure, it's only by boosting your severance package, but… [A Paralegal's Life]
* Several law school professors were recruited from prison. So if you're hoping to get tenure… [Dallas Blog]
* Pirate Bay is still out there hopping around the Caribbean to avoid prosecution. Just like real-life, well, you know. [IBTimes]

* As President Barack Obama's position on gay marriage continues to "evolve," we're left wondering what exactly Solicitor General Donald Verrilli will say come Supreme Court oral arguments showtime in late March. [New York Times]
* "This is a chilling document." The moment you've been waiting for has arrived: the DOJ memo about the Obama administration's most secretive and controversial policy, the legal justification of drone strikes against American citizens, was leaked. [NBC News]
* In the litigation blame game, the Department of Justice has a lawsuit cooking against Standard & Poor's, the supposed "key enablers of the financial meltdown," over the agency's mortgage bond ratings. [Reuters]
* Many pieces from Dewey & LeBoeuf's massive art collection were auctioned off on Friday for $528,120. The failed firm's creditors must be chomping at the bit as they wait to receive the proceeds. [Blog of Legal Times]
* You must remember Cynthia Brim, the Chicago judge who was declared "legally insane." She's too insane to be found guilty of a battery charge, but not quite insane enough to lose her reelection bid. [Chicago Tribune]
* Apologies to those with disabilities in California, but this ruling has given the Law School Admissions Council free reign to continue to flag your applications if you got extra time on the LSAT. [National Law Journal]
* GW Law School is adding a new question to its application to gauge the LGBT status its applicants. Not sure how this will affect cratering applications, but drink more of the Kool Aid if it makes you feel better. [GW Hatchet]
* Here's some sage advice from our managing editor: "If you're not okay with working for free, don't take the internship." Or, in the alternative, you can sue, and win a fat settlement check. [International Business Times]

Nintendo 3DS
Question from dtivonut2356
2 3DS Systems?
I'm thinking about getting a 3DS XL, but using it ONLY at home, and using my regular 3DS when I'm aware. I'm wondering about downloaded games though. I have all the downloaded games that I got through the Ambassador program-can I COPY these over, or redownload them on the 3DS XL? Can I have/keep them on BOTH systems at the same time? Also thinking about downloading some other games, and wondering about these as well.
Also, how do game saves work? Is there an easy way to transfer them back and forth between systems? Say I'm playing at home, save my game, then want to go mobile with the regular 3DS. Can I just somehow transfer my save to the other system, and have it immediately recognize it and make use of it? What about when I get home and want to transfer the NEW save back to the 3DS XL in place of the original?

Top Voted Answer
While it is possible to transfer all data from one 3DS system to another (regular or XL doesn't matter), there are some limitations to that:
Transferring means all data will be moved to the new system, and erased from the old one. So no, you cannot keep your downloaded games on both systems, ambassador or otherwise. You can, however, buy them again on the old system after transferring data, but you will need to pay for it again as well.
You can only transfer once a week, and any system is only allowed to participate in a transfer up to five times. So you cannot keep transferring back and forth at will, it's intended as a one-time thing.
If you have already downloaded software on the new system, that'll be overwritten. You can re-download it afterwards, however. The SD card in the new system will be erased in the process, the SD card from the old system will, after the transfer, only work in the new system. All data on that card will now be linked to the new system.
This also means that, in order to actually use the 4 GB card that comes with the XL, you'll need to transfer your data, and then manually copy the data to the larger card using a PC anyway. Since the data is linked to the serial number of the new unit, copying SD cards also does not allow you to keep your games on the old unit.
Save games for card-based games are not stored on the unit, but on the card itself. No issue transferring save data there.

you can do a system transfer and put some of the games to the XL and keep some on the reg. and no, you cannot do safe game transfers for dsi and 3ds software but the game cards save on themselves so i home i helped.

Two forms of overload clutch of the foregoing kind are described in prior United States Patents Nos 3,095,955 and 3,185,275. With the particular form of overload clutch described in the prior specifications aforementioned, the ball receiving slots are provided either in a member such as a disc connected to one of the two clutch elements so as to rotate therewith, or are formed in one of the two elements itself. Whichever arrangement according to the prior specifications is adopted, when the balls advance along the Slots into their disengaged position, axially opposite sides of the balls will still have rolling engagement with the aforementioned oppositely directed faces of the driving and driven element so long as the driving element continues to rotate relative to the driven element. As the slots are provided in one of the two clutch elements or are provided in a member, i.e. a disc connected to one of the two elements of the clutch, when the clutch is disengaged, some relative sliding movement will occur between the balls and the sides of and more especially the ends of the slots, which sliding movement over a period of time is likely to result in undesirable wear of the balls as well as of the sides and particularly the ends of the slots themselves if, as often happens, the power supply is not immediately cut off when the disengagement of the clutch first occurs. Although this undesirable effect can be minimised by making the slots of a width greater than the diameter of the balls as described in the first mentioned of the above two patent specifications, so as to minimise wear of the sides of the slots, there is still a risk that the balls July 30, 1963, 3,270,844 Patented Sept. 6, 1966 ice may undesirably engage with one side of and certainly with the adjacent end of each slot when in the disengaged position, so as to produce relative sliding movement between the balls and the slots. The relative sliding movement really arises from the fact that if a ball is disposed between two relatively rotating members having opposed plane surfaces with which the ball is in rolling engagement, there will necessarily be relative linear movement and thus relative sliding engagement between the ball and any part of one of these two members which projects above the plane surface thereof, so as to be engaged by the ball at a position intermediate the two plane surfaces. The foregoing undesirable wear is particularly noticeable if the clutch, as is not unfrequently the case in certain applications, is used under relatively high speed conditions eg of the order of 3,000 to 4,000 r.p.-m. The present invention has for its object the provision of an improved arrangement by which this undesirable wear is minimised. According to the present invention the slots are provided in one of the two elements aforesaid of the clutch, with one portion of the several slots constituting the torque transmitting ball engaging openings of such element, and the slots extend through their associated element between opposite end faces thereof, said slotted element being disposed between the spring loaded thrust member and the other of the two elements aforesaid of the clutch, there being means mounting the thrust member for free rotational movement relative to both the driving and the driven elements of the clutch, the arrangement being such that when the clutch is in the disengaged position consequent on more than a predetermined torque having been applied thereto, the balls are in rolling contact on each of their two oppositely axially directed sides with the opposed faces of the freely rotatable thrust member and of the said other element but with the balls ,at an end of each slot in a position out of register with the torque transmitting openings of said other element. In .such an arrangement, when the balls move into the disengaged position so that the driven element is now stationary, but the driving element continues to rotate, the balls, in addition to having pure rolling engagement with the opposed faces of said other clutch element, and of the thrust member, will also have substantially entire rolling as opposed to sliding engagement with the sides of the slots of the slotted clutch element, since these two elements of the clutch are free to rotate relative to one another instead of the slotted member being fixed in relation to the other clutch element as in the prior specifications aforementioned. In practice, by reason of the shape of the interengaging surfaces, where the balls make contact with the slotted element there will be a little relative sliding movement between the balls and the slotted element adjacent one of each slot, but the amount of such sliding movement will be very much less than is the case with the constructions described in either of the two prior specifications. The balls would necessarily have pure rolling engagement with the thrust member, since such member is mounted for free rotation relative to both the driving and the driven element of the clutch. Accordingly with the present invention the amount of wear of the parts which occurs by reason of relative sliding engagement between the balls and the surfaces with which they contact in the disengaged position, is very small in comparison with the prior constructions aforementioned. The ball engaging openings in the one clutch element are preferably constituted by circular holes or recesses of diameter less than the diameter of the balls so that these would be adapted to extend partially within the holes or recesses to engage merely with one edge thereof, which edge would preferably be of bevelled or convex form so that the balls would be adapted merely to have line contact with the edges of their respective openings, an arrangement which ensures that when the predetermined torque is reached, the balls merely roll out of the openings without any relative sliding movement occurring between the balls and the edges of their ball receiving openings, whereby wear of the parts under the maximum torque transmitting conditions obtaining at the instant of disengagement is reduced as far as possible. The invention is illustrated in the accompanying drawings, wherein: FIGURE 1 is a cross sectional view of one form of overload clutch embodying the present invention, the clutch being depicted with the various parts in the engaged position. FIGURE 2 is a view similar to FIGURE 1, but showing the clutch in the disengaged position. FIGURES 3, 4 and 5 are side elevations, illustrating three alternative arrangements of slots in one of the two elements of the clutch, namely, the driving element and applicable to the construction depicted in FIGURES l and 2. Referring to the drawings, the overload clutch there depicted. comprises a driven clutch element in the form of a flange provided on one end of a sleeve 11 which is adapted to be mounted on a shaft not shown. The driven element 10 has fixed thereto an annular driven plate 12 forming part of the driven element and provided with a number, eg three, through holes 13 of cylindrical form and constituting torque transmitting ball engaging openings, which holes 13 are spaced circumferentially around the plate 12. Each hole 13 is of a diameter less than that of the torque transmitting balls 14 of which the same number are provided as in-the case of the holes 13. If desired the through holes 13 may be replaced by cylindrical blind holes or recesses. Whatever arrangement is adapted the holes or recesses are adapted at one end thereof to have line engagement with the balls 14 when in torque transmitting engagement therewith, namely along the edges 15 of the holes 13. Such. an arrangement permits of the balls rolling out of torque transmitting engagement with the driven element 10 without any relative sliding occurring between the balls and such element in so doing. Such effect is assisted by making the edges 15 of slightly bevelled or convex configuration. Mounted for rotation about the sleeve 11 of the driven element 10 is a driving element 16 in the form of a pulley, the web 17 of which extends on one side of the driven element plate 12 and this web 17 is formed with three slots 18 (see FIGURES 3, 4 and 5) which extend through the element 16 between opposite sides of the web 17. Each slot may have the substantially straight or straight elongated configuration depicted respectively in FIGURES 3 and 4 or the V configuration depicted in FIGURE 5, and each slot 18 receives one of the three torque transmitting balls 14. At the side of the web 17 opposite to the driven element plate 12 is a thrust member 19 in the form of an annular plate mounted for free rotation on the sleeve 11 through anti-friction thrust bearing 20 and bush 21. This thrust member 19 is axially slidable along sleeve 11 in a direction towards the adjacent driving element 16 and driven element plate 12 under the pressure of loading spring 22 acting between thrust bearing 20 and spring abutment 23 on sleeve 11. This spring abutment 23 is threadably mounted on sleeve 11 so as to permit of adjustment of the pressure exerted by spring 22,.whereby the clutch may be set to disengage at different torques according to the spring pressure. The web 17 has an axial thickness less than the diameter of the balls 14 so that with the clutch in the engaged position depicted in FIGURE 1, one axially directed side of each ball 14 is in engagement with the adjacent plane face 24 of the thrust member 19 and the other axially directed side of each ball is in torque transmitting engagement with the edge 15 of one of the driven element holes 13. In this position with the particular form of slots 18 depicted in FIGURE 3, each ball 14 is at one end 18a of the corresponding slot 18. Such end 18a of each slot lies on the same pitch circle diameter as that of the ball receiving holes 13 'but each slot as shown in FIGURE 3 is inclined to the adjacent circumferential direction of rotation, with its opposite end 1811 lying on a pitch circle of diameter sufiiciently greater than that of the holes 13 as to ensure that when the balls 14 are disposed at the ends 18b of each slot 18, they are out of register with the holes 13 and can engage only with the plane face 25 of the driven element plate 12. The slots 18 at each end thereof have a width corresponding to that of the ball diameter so as to provide working clearance between their sides and the adjacent surface of the ball, but intermediate their two ends the slots are of increased diameter by making their radial inner edges 18c of sinusoidal or wave-like configuration in a manner clearly shown in FIGURE 3. Thus when more than a predetermined torque is applied to the driving element or pulley 17, then under the reaction thrust of the balls 15 and thrust member face 24, thrust member 19 moves axially away from the driven element plate 12 against the loading of spring 22 by a distance s-ufiicient to permit of the balls 14 rolling out of this torque transmitting position (in the manner more fully described in US. Patent No. 3,095,955) and moving :from their engaged position 14a in FIG. 3 through a disengaging position 14b where the slots 18 are locally of greater width, the balls finally moving into the fully disengaged out of register position 140 adjacent the radially outermost end 18b of the associated slots. In this position which is also depicted in FIGURE 2, and assuming, as will usually be the case, the driving element 16 continues to rotate relative to the driven element 10, as the thrust member 19 is free to rotate about the driven element 11, the balls will have pure rolling engagement with the plane face 25 of the driven element plate 12 and with the plane face 24 of the thrust member 19, which thrust member will, under the pressure applied by its loading spring 22 to the balls 14, be constrained to rotate in the direction of rotation of the driving element 16 but at an angular velocity substantially twice that of the driving element 16. Accordingly, where the balls on their oppositely axially directed sides engage with the driven element 10 and thrust member 19, they will have only rolling contact with these two parts of the clutch and will not here be subjected to any sliding contact at all. Also as earlier explained, as the driving element 16 is itself free to rotate relative to the thrust member as well as the driven element, there will also be rolling engagement between the balls and the sides of the slots 18 in the driving element web at a position adjacent the ends of the slots 1812. There will be some relative sliding engagement as well at this position, but as the pressure exerted by the thrust member 19is in a purely axial direction parallel to the walls of the slots 18 there will in any event be no resilient force exerted by loading spring 22, tending to force the balls into pressure contact with the walls of the slots 18, when the clutch is in the disengaged position so that any relative sliding movement which does occur between the balls and the ends of the slots 18, with the clutch disengaged, will no result in any significant wear of the so relatively engaging parts. The locally increased width of each slot 18 at the position ensures that the balls 14 are not in pressure sliding contact with the sides of the slots as they dis 14 on the hole edges. engage from the holes 16 and thus reduces wear between the balls and the sides of the slots at the instant of disengagement. -In the alternative, arrangement of slots 18 depicted in FIGURE 4, these are not locally of increased Width but are otherwise similar to the arrangement depicted in FIGURE 3. In the further alternative arrangement of slots 18 shown in FIGURE 5 these again are not locally of increased width, but are of symmetrical wide V configuration so as to provide two radially outermost end portions 18b each out of register With the ball receiving holes 16, an arrangement which unlike the case of the FIG- URE 3 and 4 forms, permits of the driving element 16, in which the slots are provided, .being driven in either direction. In the FIGURE 3 and FIGURE 4 constructions the driving element 1 6 must always be driven in a direction such as to tend to displace the balls towards the outer ends 18b of the slots, i.e. in a clockwise direction, as viewed in FIGURE 3 and as indicated by the arrow in that figure. What I claim then is: 1. An overload clutch comprising a torque transmitting driving element and a torque transmitting driven element, a thrust member, means mounting the driving element, the driven element and the thrust member in side by side but axially spaced apart relation for relative rotational movement about a common axis of rotation, one of said elements having two axially directed opposite faces and being disposed between the other element and the thrust member, said other element and said thrust member having axially opposed mutually parallel plane faces each directed towards an adjacent one of the faces of the one element, said other element in the face thereof adjacent said one element having a plurality of circumferentially spaced torque transmitting openings having ball engaging mouths of circular configuration, said one element having a plurality of slots extending therethrough between its axiaHy directed opposite faces with one portion of each slot in register with one of said torque transmitting openings for one relative rotational position of said elements, a torque transmitting ball within each slot, each ball having a diameter which is greater than the diameter of the torque transmitting opening mouths and the thickness of the one element adjacent said slots so that each ball projects axially beyond each of said two axially directed faces of the one element in a position for engaging with said opposed plane faces of the other element and the thrust member, each slot in the direction of its length being inclined to the direction of rotation of said one element so that part of each slot is out of register with the torque transmitting openings for all relative rotational positions of the elements, said other element and said thrust member being relatively axially movable on said mounting means, and spring means urging said other element and thrust member towards one another in-to thrust engagement with said torque transmitting balls. 2. An overload clutch according to claim 1 wherein the ball receiving slots are of elongated configuration with one end of each slot registering with one of the torque transmitting openings in one relative rotational position of the torque transmitting elements, each slot at a position intermediate its two ends having a width which is greater than the diameter of the balls and greater than the width of the slot at each end thereof. 3. An overload clutch according to claim 1 wherein the ball receiving slots are of substantially straight elongated configuration With substantially parallel sides one end of each slot being in register with one of torque transmitting openings in one relative rotational position of the torque transmitting elements. 4. An overload clutch according to claim 1 wherein the slots are of V configuration with the apex of the V being in register with one of the torque transmitting openings in one relative rotational position of the torque transmitting elements. 5. An overload clutch according to claim 1, wherein the torque transmitting openings are each formed as circular holes of a diameter less than the diameter of the balls. 6. An overload clutch according to claim 1, wherein the one element is the driving element of the clutch and a sleeve having a flange at one end thereof constitutes the driven element of the clutch, the sleeve constituting said mounting means whereon the slotted driving element and the spring loaded thrust member are rotatably mounted, said sleeve having a part extending beyond the thrust member in a direction away from the driven element of the clutch and having the spring means mounted thereon and an anti-friction thrust bearing mounted on said extended sleeve part between the spring means and the thrust member to transmit pressure from the spring means to the thrust member.

Virtual world celebrates Obama's win
From YouTube to Flickr, from Facebook to Twitter, images and sentiments from celebrations across the US flooded into the internet's media-sharing sites, just moments after Barack Obama clinched the presidential election.
Some were simple photos of TV screens claiming the Democrat's win. Others were unfiltered images of jubilant celebrations captured immediately after polls closed on the West Coast, when Obama was declared the president-elect.
And while crowds gathered at public rallies and millions of others simply glued themselves to television news coverage, many spent election night online - and they had plenty of company. Students at Navarro College in Texas posted a video of themselves reacting - screaming, jumping up and down, more screaming - to Obama's win. Another YouTuber uploaded his toast to Obama: He gulped a 2-litre bottle of soda.
Others used the moment to joke. One wig-clad man posted a YouTube video reminiscent of Chris Crocker's infamous Britney Spears rant, instead shouting Leave McCain alone! in front of a sheet. Some shared impromptu songs about the election's outcome. One man at a piano sang: "You all wanted change/And that's what you're gonna get/But the change that you will see/You will most likely regret."
Elsewhere, dozens of Obama supporters clapped, danced and cheered inside the behemoth virtual world Second Life immediately after the Democratic nominee seized the electoral votes. Many avatars were left out of the virtual celebration in Obama's unofficial Second Life headquarters because the digital enclave had reached maximum capacity.
"The long nightmare is OVER!" an avatar named Jordanna Beaumont exclaimed.
The Straight Talk Cafe, a Second Life space supporting John McCain, was nearly a ghost town after McCain conceded the race. Volunteers for both campaigns had unofficially stumped for months inside the virtual world for the presidential and vice presidential candidates - collecting donations, registering voters, building monuments and handing out virtual hats and T-shirts.
Throughout the election, the nonpartisan site TwitterVoteReport.com aggregated micro-blog Twitter.com posts - called tweets - to monitor polling places and estimate voting wait times across the country. Into the evening, many people tweeted 140-characters-or-less dispatches from rallies, election parties and their living rooms using their cell phones and the web.
"There were news people from all over the world at the Biltmore tonight," posted luv2shoppe in Phoenix, where McCain's camp was watching the returns. "It was quite an experience, even if the results were disappointing."
"Four blocks from Grant Park in Chicago," posted jordanlevy about the Obama victory celebration. "It's crazy down here."
Even Obama himself, whose campaign embraced the power of online networking going back to his primary race against Hillary Clinton, nodded to his tech-savvy supporters in the very moments before he took the stage in Chicago for his acceptance speech: Supporters who had signed up on his campaign website received an email thanking them.
Those who were logged on at that moment got this message: "I'm about to head to Grant Park to talk to everyone gathered there, but I wanted to write to you first. We just made history. And I don't want you to forget how we did it. You made history every single day during this campaign - every day you knocked on doors, made a donation, or talked to your family, friends and neighbours about why you believe it's time for change."
Bloggers who had been posting about the election results in real time kept their comments brief after Obama's win. Liberal blogger Sara K. Smith at Wonkette.com, who kept a snarky eye on the proceedings, instructed readers to "raise a glass to your Republican friends because it was not so long ago that you (liberals) were precisely in their position, and remember how much it sucked."
Conservative bloggers also kept their reactions concise and polite. Carol Platt Liebau at Townhall.com posted: "We are Americans first, and therefore I wish the Obamas health and happiness. It's even possible to wish them success - so long as it is in keeping with the best traditions of American liberty, virtue and prosperity."
Not everyone was as cordial. At some point Tuesday night on John McCain's Wikipedia page, a racial slur was joined with an expletive and splashed across the screen in giant red letters. The word was quickly removed from the page and no longer appeared Wednesday morning.
And while Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin may not have won the vice presidential spot, she was popular as a doll. Out of the four one-of-kind Cabbage Patch Dolls crafted to look like the presidential and vice presidential candidates, her doll nabbed a $19,000 bid when the online auction closed Tuesday. The lil' Obama, McCain and Biden impersonators only earned offers of $8,400, $6,000 and $3,500, respectively.
