A young boy loves to frequent the Bronx Zoo but feels very sad
when he sees the plight of animals living in empty cages and barren rooms.
These feelings are especially intense when he visits the jaguar exhibit. Seeing
these big, majestic cats living in unnatural, desolate surroundings makes him
want to change both his and their futures. And he sets out to do just that.
A Boy and a Jaguar,
is the inspiring autobiographical account of Alan Rabinowitz, who through his love of animals,
managed to overcome a personal obstacle that seemed overwhelming at first.
Alan is a stutterer. During his childhood years, he sometimes
had his head and body shake so uncontrollably when attempting to speak, that his
teachers placed him in a class for disturbed kids and pronounced to his parents
that, "He is broken".
However, there are two ways that Alan can verbally
communicate without stuttering. One is to sing, and the other is to talk to animals.
He starts off by telling his pet hamster, gerbil, turtle, chameleon and green
garter snake about his dreams and they seem to listen to him. He also promises
that if he ever finds his voice, he will also be their voice, and that no harm
will come their way. He then goes to the Bronx Zoo great cat house and
"fluently" whispers the same vow to the resident jaguar through the cage bars.
When he starts college, he is enrolled in an experimental
program for stutterers which relieves him of his speech impediment, but not his
continuing feelings of being somehow broken on the inside.
Pursuing his passionate interest in animals, Alan prepares
for a career as a wildlife conservationist. He hikes the Smoky
Mountains to study black bears, and then
lands in Belize
to study his favorite species, the jaguar, in it's natural habitat.
Jaguars are severely threatened by human encroachment into
their jungle environment. Alan decides to use his new found voice to help the
big cats. He presents his case to save the jaguars from hunters directly to Belize's Prime Minister. And his
fifteen minute presentation produces success! His wish that the world's first
jaguar preserve be established in the country, comes true.
I love the message that this book delivers about people and
animals who can't speak for themselves. Complimenting the story are Catia
Chien's colorful and evocative illustrations that deliver just the right amount
of visual dynamism.
A little book with a big hearted message that should be thoroughly
enjoyable for readers of all ages.
Since overcoming his stutter, Dr. Alan Rabinowitz has
dedicated his life to wildlife conservation. He is also a spokesperson for the
Stuttering Foundation of America.

This is sort of a fun read for those who may be looking for
a bit of a darker read but aren't really ready for something scary. The head mistress of a ladies' finishing
school and her brother are poisoned and rather than report the crime to the
local police the seven students decide to hide it in an effort to avoid being
sent home and separated from each other.
Disgraceful Mary Jane, Sly Kitty, and Stout Alice (each girl has a
moniker) haphazardly cobble together a cover up while Pocked Louise sets her
sights on finding the killer. The
Scandalous Sisterhood of Prickwillow Place is an interesting read for anyone
who enjoys murder mysteries with female protagonists.
Kamara had a hard day at school. One of the boys called her
names and used some nasty words talking about her. The one bright spot is that
she is on her way to gramma's house. Kamara knew that gramma would make her feel
better. And gramma did. Gramma sent Kamara to clean the mirror upstairs. It was
a mirror that had been passed down from her great grandmother to her
grandmother and it turned out to be a magic mirror. When Kamara started rubbing
the mirror she saw another young girl's eyes staring back at her. Through the eyes of women throughout the past
centuries Kamara was able to see the violence, hatred and poverty that women of
color have faced throughout history. Through it Kamara sees humiliation and
determination. She sees pride, beauty and courage.
There is a lot of history in this very small book. In The Magic Mirror Zetta Elliott does an amazing job of teaching history and courage.
She sends the message to young girls that they are not alone.
In Float we have a wordless picture book about a boy, a folded paper boat, and a storm. Even without words, though, we also have a story about creation, play, loss, comfort, delight, and tenderness.
Take a close look at this small book and then marvel at how Daniel Miyares can give us a complete story with only his wonderful pictures.
Swing Sisters: the Story of the International Sweethearts of Rhythm, a new picture book written by Karen Deans and illustrated by Joe Cepeda, tells the story of the first racially integrated, all-female swing band in the United States. The Sweethearts' story begins with the founding, in 1909, of the Piney Woods Country Life School for African-American orphans in Mississippi. In 1939 the school's founder, Laurence Clifton Jones, started a school band that he thought could help raise money for the school. By the 1940s the band was traveling across the country and, in 1945, even played a six-month tour in Europe for American troops stationed there. The band grew to include girls and women of different racial backgrounds, including Chinese, Mexican, Native American, and white. Because of Jim Crow laws barring socialization between different races, this was a dangerous prospect when the band played in southern states.
Swing Sisters is a great introduction to this unique American treasure. If you want to hear the music of the International Sweethearts of Rhythm, you can download some of their hits from Freegal with your library card.
When Fraser Met Billy
is an engaging true account written by Louise Booth, the mother of two kids;
Fraser and Pippa.
When Fraser was just several months old, Louise was aware
that her son was not completely normal. Her intuitions are confirmed when at 18
months, Fraser is diagnosed with autism. Besides this, he also has hypotonia, a
rare muscular disorder that makes his joints loose.
At an early age, Fraser finds it difficult to communicate, often
has tantrums, emotional meltdowns and easily withdraws into his own private
world. Depending on the circumstances with which he is confronted, his behavior
is unpredictable and volatile. Fraser begins speech and behavioral treatment,
but his therapists soon come to the conclusion that Fraser will never attend a
normal, mainstream school. This is devastating news to Louise and her husband
Prior to this crisis, the Booth family had always loved cats.
In fact, they share their space with an aging cat named Toby, who is mostly preoccupied
with sleeping and eating. Louise starts wondering if a much younger pet would
prove to be a positive influence on Fraser; a "special" friend of sorts that
her son could interact with and bond.
Shortly thereafter, the parents contact the Cat Protection
League. A caregiver there senses that one of two identical cats, Billy or Bear,
found together earlier in an abandoned house, might make a good fit for Fraser.
Prior to meeting the cats, Fraser studies their photos and
keeps these by his bed. Unlike most adults, he is right away able to distinguish
between the two. When Fraser and his parents meet the cats at the rescue, he instantly
latches onto Billy. Upon arriving home, he declares that "Billy is going to be
Fraser's very best friend", a statement that truly predicted their present and
future relationship in more ways than one.
The two become inseparable and this rescue cat transforms
Fraser's life. As Louise puts it "Billy had the ability to enter Fraser's own,
private universe, a place that none of us could penetrate. It had made that
universe a less lonely place for Fraser but not only that; it had encouraged
him to venture out of it so that he was more and more part of our world".
As time goes by, Fraser is able to enroll into a mainstream
school and is currently doing remarkably well.
I found this book difficult to put down. I read it in two
sittings and love its reaffirmation of the power of the animal/human bond;
something that can never be overestimated.
Today marks the 48th anniversary of legal protection for interracial families and their right to marry throughout the nation. The landmark case, Loving V. Virginia (1967) and the story behind it, has recently been transformed into an illustrated children's book called The Case for Loving: the fight for interracial marriage. Sound interesting? Check out the HBO-produced documentary about this significant legal case and its historical importance.
The Scraps Book; Notes from a Colorful LifeBy Lois EhlertLois Ehlert is a "go to" author for preschool picture books, children really like her books. Lois is an artist and a writer and she has a passion for the importance of early literacy. She uses an art technique called collage which means she cuts out scraps of paper, fabric, real objects, painted objects, photographs, and then she assembles and glues them into place onto a background resulting in an image. KPL has many of Lois' books.Children love to identify exactly what "part" is used in making a picture, such as, what is the snow girl's mouth made from? What is the snow boy's nose made from? Lois finds her ideas for books from the world around her… gardens, shopping at the market, watching fish at an aquarium, a squirrel who ran into her home… Lois finds free art supplies from Mother Nature when she goes for walks… "I keep my eyes open. An idea may be close by. " After Lois writes a story, she sketches out the entire book to decide what to illustrate on each page. Not only does Lois write a story, but she also has very appealing artwork for youngsters. Lois relays that her mother shared many colorful fabric scraps, buttons, lace, ribbons with Lois and her dad gave her woods scraps and taught Lois how to paint, saw, and pound nails. Lois was given an old table for doing her artwork and she even took it to college with her! Lois grew up in Beaver Dam, Wisconsin, and now lives in Milwaukee. This is a great line from her biography: Why did I choose to be an artist? I think it's the other way around. Art chose me.
A publisher friend asked Nat Love to write his story. He lived an interesting life at an important time in American history. He was born a slave but was fortunate enough to be on a plantation where he was treated kindly. It was well after the war when his family found out they were free but, farm life was tough and they all had to pull together to make a living. Everyone had to do their part. That's when Nat started wrangling. He became a cowpuncher, learned to shoot and became a real cowboy.
As all of the farm watches an egg – they hear nothing. Then a CRACK! Each animal answers ….crack /moo? Crack/baa? And so on until out pops a baby duck.
Baby duck laughs, waddles, and plays all the while peep, peep peeping. The animals yawn, peep. The chickens sing a lullaby, more peeping. That baby duck won't sleep! The cows and the sheep try peep, peep, peeping. All the animals go outside to sleep but they can't – too much peeping. Finally, Duck takes off his headphones and puts them on sleeping Farmer Brown. Duck puts baby duck in a bucket, covers her in a blanket and takes her outside. All the while baby duck keeps peeping. Duck climbs into the tractor, buckles their seatbelts and backs out of the barnyard. And you guessed it… Duck drives back and forth – peeping continues until finally little duck falls asleep. When Farmer Brown wakes up he doesn't hear any animals but he sees Duck and little duck on the tractor sound asleep. Duck drove all over the farm – he was not a good driver - but mission accomplished!
Kids will love the animal antics while parents and caregivers will laugh at the premise. And really who hasn't tried that age old trick of taking the baby for a car ride in hopes of having them go to sleep.
I love the Doreen Cronin and Betsy Lewin combo of stories and illustrations. They are so child pleasing but with that added adult humor which is so much fun to find in picture books. Enjoy sharing this book over and over again.

To attach a segmental stator, for example in the form of armature laminations, to the housing of a flywheel of an internal combustion engine, and permanent magnet rotor elements to the flywheel circumference, while permitting differential thermal expansion, the attachment elements include a shaft or web element (10, 210, 403, 403') which connects the respective magnetic structural component--stator laminations (1) or permanent magnet field (19)--to the engine structure housing (2) or flywheel (15), respectively, by two headed ends (8, 208, 408; 7, 207, 407) which may be in form of tapped cylindrical or spherical elements or cylindrical tubular portions fitted into holes (415) of the engine structure and expanded after placement, by driving a pin (FIG. 4c: 16) thereinto, or pulling a headed pin (FIG. 4d: 17) therethrough.
1. Dynamo electric machine construction in combination with an internal combustion engine structure including
a flywheel (15) and a housing (2) surrounding, at least in part, said flywheel
said dynamo electric machine construction having a stator (1) secured to the housing (2);
segmental permanent magnet rotor element (19);
and attachment means for attaching the segmental permanent magnet elements of the rotor to the flywheel under tension, to securely attach said segmental elements to the flywheel,
said attachment means comprising
a shaft, or web element (403, 403') and two head elements (407, 408) formed on said shaft or web element;
one head element (408) bearing against the permanent magnet segments, and other head element (407) bearing against the flywheel,
wherein the flywheel is formed with a plurality of axially extending cylindrical bores (415) adjacent the rim thereof and in the region of attachment of the permanent magnet segments;
the head elements (407) engaging the flywheel are formed with enlargements fitting into the axial bore of the flywheel, said enlarged head elements being formed with an axially extending bores (21) therein, the head elements being deformed by expansion from a smaller size, after insertion into the axially extending bores (415) of the flywheel to place the shaft or web element connecting the head elements under tension and thereby securely attach the permanent magnet segments against the flywheel, said enlarged, deformed head element essentially filling the axially extending bores in the flywheel.
2. Construction according to claim 1 further comprising an expansion pin (16) fitted into the bore in the head element (407), fitted in the axially extending bore of the flywheel.
3. Construction according to claim 1 including an expansion pin having a headed end (17') pulled at least in part through the bore of the head element (407) to expand the opening and deform the adjacent portion of the head element.
4. Construction according to claim 1, further including an underlay (22) of elastic material between at least one of the head elements and the adjacent structure.
5. Construction according to claim 1 wherein the permanent magnet rotor segments are formed with attachment holes therethrough;
and the attachment means comprises an axially elongated element having at least one wedge-shaped head fitted into an attachment hole.
The present invention relates to a dynamo electric machine structure combined with an internal combustion engine, and more particularly to the attachment arrangement to attach stator and rotor components of the dynamo electric machine to the flywheel and flywheel housing, respectively, of the internal combustion engine.
It has previously been proposed to integrate an electric generator structure with the flywheel of an internal combustion engine, typically of the automotive type. This arrangement permits obtaining relatively high output from only segmentally placed stators, since the diameter of the flywheel is considerable; difficulties arise, however, in connection with attaching the electromagnetic structural components of the dynamo electric machine, for example a permanent magnet field and an armature stator package, to the respective housing and flywheel components of the internal combustion (IC) engine, due to the short axial length thereof and the brittleness of many of the electromagnetic structural components. Additionally, the working space to place attaching elements frequently is limited and, especially if repair or replacement of elements is needed, it is difficult to obtain access to the respective components.
High magnetic forces arise in operation. Integrating the generator structure with the flywheel also subjects the respective components to thermal expansion. The thermal expansion of the housing of the flywheel and of the stator elements may differ. It is thus necessary to provide a tight and secure connection between the stator elements, typically the armature electromagnetic structure and the flywheel housing. The rotor element, typically the field and usually a permanent magnet field, likewise places special requirements on the attachment arrangement. Permanent magnetic field elements are quite brittle. When placed at the outer circumference of the flywheel of an IC engine, they are subjected to high centrifugal forces. The structural space for attaching the elements, in axial direction, is limited. Successful placement of the magnetic structural components of a generator has led to difficulties.
It is an object to provide an attachment arrangement for the magnetic structural components of a dynamo electric machine, typically an alternating current generator, to the flywheel and flywheel housing of an internal combustion engine, in which reliable connection is insured, the magnetic components are held tightly against their respective counterparts of the IC engine, and placement of the components in an axially limited space can be readily effected.
Briefly, the connection is effected by units which have a shaft and two heads at either end which are so placed that the shaft is under tension. In accordance with a preferred embodiment, the shaft may be a threaded bolt, one head of which is standard and the other is constructed in form of a cylindrical element extending transversely to the bolt and having a diametrically threaded opening, the cylindrical element engaging an inclined or chamfered end portion of the magnetic structure, for example the end portion of a stator armature lamination package. Rather than using a cylindrical element, a ball socket can be used, or the head, likewise, may be formed with a rounded, part-spherical engagement surface meeting the counter surface of the IC engine component to permit self-alignment. Some of the components, for example a permanent magnet field structure, may be attached to the flywheel in such a way that the second head of the anti magnetic attachment element is recessed within the flywheel itself. To reliably place the shaft element of the bolt under tension, the second head may be formed with a through-bore which, after placement, is expanded by driving a tapered pin therein, or drawing a pin with an enlarged head therethrough to deform the head and place the shank portion under tension. For IC engines of small diameter, riveting may suffice, particularly if a resilient liner is interposed between the rivet heads and the components held together thereby to place the shank portion of the attachment element under tension after riveting has been effected by providing a tensioning force.
The arrangement has the advantage that the magnetic structural components of the generator tightly engage the fitting elements of the IC engine; the attachment elements do not extend axially or radially beyond the active portions of the machine, while permitting ready assembly. Different longitudinal thermal expansion of the magnetic structural components and of the IC engine components can be compensated, without loss of secure engagement of the magnetic components with the engine components.
In accordance with a preferred feature of the invention, the attachment elements are so arranged that the shaft portions extend radially with respect to the flywheel axis, so that tension forces always extend in radial direction. This also permits attachment of the elements on the substrate or support surface without play. Brittle permanent magnet elements can be attached and securely held by tension components without danger of fracture of the elements themselves.
FIG. 1 is a fragmentary part-sectional axial view of the flywheel housing of an IC engine showing attachment of stator magnetic structural components thereto;
FIGS. 2 and 3 are fragmentary axial sections through the rim portion of an IC engine flywheel showing attachment of a permanent magnet field structure;
FIGS. 4a and 4b are fragmentary axial sectional views through the rim portion of the flywheel of an IC engine, showing attachment of permanent magnet (PM) field poles thereto;
FIG. 4c is a part-sectional view of one expansion element for the tensioning head utilized in the structures of FIGS. 4a and 4b ; and
FIG. 4d is a view similar to FIG. 4c and illustrating another tensioning arrangement.
The inner wall of the housing 2 of the flywheel of an IC engine--not shown--has a stator segment 1 secured thereto. The stator segment carries at least part of the armature winding, for example three-phase windings of an automotive-type alternator. Due to the relatively large diameter of the flywheel, a segmental stator is sufficient for the required output power, and placing the stator in segmental form within the housing reduces costs and facilitates assembly.
In accordance with the invention, the stator segments 1, shown as a package of laminations, are secured to the housing 2 by attachment elements 3 which are fitted into bores of the housing 2. The elements 3 have a shaft or shank element 10 and two head portions 7, 8 which are so attached to the shaft 10 that they press the stator 1 against the housing 2. One of the heads 7 is formed as a cylindrical or spherical unit which fits against a chamfered or inclined surface 1' of the stator and against a matching inclined or spherical or cylindrical surface 5 on the housing. The end portions 4 of the stator segment 1 thus are securely seated against the housing. A resilient elastic intermediate layer 22, for example in form of a lock washer or the like, is preferably inserted between the head 8 and the outer surface of the housing 2. Preferably, the housing is formed with a recess 6 into which the laminations 1 are fitted.
The bores through which the attachment elements 3 pass preferably are somewhat wider than the diameter thereof, and the cylindrical or spherical heads 7 permit slight tilting or tipping of the bolts in case of differential expansion of the stator laminations 1 and the housing 2, to compensate for different thermal expansion. Preferably at least one of the bolts is formed with a spherical surface 9 fitting against a matching surface in the housing to facilitate such slight shifting with respect to a strictly radial direction. The attachment elements 3 have shanks 10 which are capable of accepting high tension forces so that, when the heads 8 are tightened against the heads 7, which are formed with tapped holes, the shanks 10 are placed under tension.
FIGS. 2, 3, 4a, and 4b illustrate attachment of a permanent magnet 19 to the rim portion 15 of the flywheel of an IC engine (not shown). The magnets 19 can be attached, in pairs, by suitably formed wedges or prisms 11 on the rim portion 15 of the flywheel. FIG. 2 illustrates a wedge-shaped head 208 of an attachment element 203, with a riveted-over head 207. The end portion 204 of the magnet 19 is countersunk to match the head 208. A resilient liner 22 is interposed between the head 208 and the head 207 so that, after riveting together--which effects compression of the liner 22--the liner 22 can then re-expand and place the shank portion 210 under tension. Rather than using riveting, a bolt-and-screw arrangement similar to that illustrated in FIG. 1 may be used, employing a countersunk head at the engagement surface with the magnet 19. Elements 203 can be axially elongated, fitted in matching slots.
FIG. 3 illustrates an attachment element 12 which has a double-trapezoid shaped profile, including a wedge-shaped head 307 which is slid laterally into an elongated axially extending matching opening in the rim portion of the flywheel 15. The shaft 303, originally straight, is then riveted over to form the head 308. Preferably, as in FIG. 2, a liner is also interposed. It has been omitted from FIG. 3 since it may not be strictly necessary, although desirable.
An attachment arrangement which places a shank portion of the attachment element reliably under tension is illustrated in FIGS. 4a, 4b, in which FIG. 4a illustrates the attachment arrangement before tensioning, and FIG. 4b the attachment arrangement after tensioning.
The rim of the flywheel 15 is formed with axially extending bores 415, into which pre-headed attachment elements 13, 14 are introduced. The pre-headed attachment elements 13, 14 have heads 406, shanks 403 and 403', and slightly expanded apertured lower heads 407. To then reliably and securely connect the magnet 19 to the flywheel 15, the elements 13, 14 are deformed to place the shank portion 403, 403' under tension. The heads 407 of the elements 13, 14 are formed with a through-bore 21. After initial loose interconnection of the elements, as shown in FIG. 4a, a bolt 16 is pressed into the hole 21 of the element 13--see FIG. 4c and FIG. 4b--to expand the initial hole 21, and press the outer wall portion of the head 407 within the opening 415 in the rim 15 of the flywheel. Element 14 has a mandrel 17 with an enlarged, typically ball-like end 17' pulled thereinto. By deformation of the head 407 of element 14, the shank 403' thereof is placed under tension and so expanded that the outer part of the hole 415 is filled. Any remaining part of the hole 415 which is not filled by the expanded head 407 of bolt 14 permits movement under differential thermal expansion, while still maintaining the shank 403' under tension. The deformation of the head 407, by the expansion upon material displacement of the head 407, insures uniform application of compressive force by the head 408 against the magnet 19, without sharp shocks, however, so that the brittle magnetic material of a permanent magnet 19 is not damaged during the attachment process, since it can be carried out without exerting any blows against the attachment elements themselves.
Various changes and modifications may be made, and features described in connection with any one of the embodiments may be used with any of the others, within the scope of the inventive concept. For example, the shank portion 210, 303, 403, 403' need not be cylindrical, but the entire attachment element can be made in form of an elongated strip, having the length, for example, of the tubular heads 407, with a web connecting to a wedge-shaped extended head 208, 308, 408, respectively.
Extending the wedge-shaped attachment element 11--FIG. 2--in axial direction throughout the axial length of the magnet 19, which would, at least approximately, also conform to the axial length of the flywheel rim 15, provides for reliable connection without danger of breakage in spite of application of a riveting connecting force since the element can be essentially preshaped, inserted axially, and only finally secured with the magnet 19 in place by minor application of force.

Medical schools have various levels of selectivity (some are harder to get into than others), and both the quality of their clinical training and level of research are measured. Additional medical training in both residency and fellowships and the facilities they are conducted at also provide a history of the doctors' level of training and experience.

You could have done alot with this... Perhaps a larger character, some sounds, or items, and perhaps actually having 4 walls, instead of three that make you believe there may be something more at the top... A shame, almost to see this here. You could really make this a decent game, rather than your average snake game, a little more "stuff" and you'll be getting much higher ratings.
There are (as the dude below me said) already alot of snake games... This doesn't offer anything new or interesting...and it tells me I suck after I score over 200 points? Being sarcastic for being funny, and being insulting are very close...and this fell on insulting.
This Snake remake may be a little rough around the edges, but is still worth some fun.
Final Verdict: 3½ Stars

Ontario, Calif. — The Ontario Reign defeated the Utah Grizzlies 6-5 in a shootout Friday night in Ontario as Utah battled back from 4-1 and 5-2 deficits to tie the contest at 5 with 9:16 left in the third period.
The Grizzlies go to 2-1-0-1 on their current seven-game road trip with their third come-from-behind effort in eight days.
Trailing 5-2 with just over five minutes left in the second period, Utah got back-to-back goals from Colin Vock in a 2:02 stretch to make it 5-4 going to the third period.
In the third, Utah picked up an Ontario turnover and Nick Tuzzolino fed Bryan Cameron in the left circle as he buried a puck into the open net.
Utah dug themselves an early hole, falling behind 2-0 in the first 12:17 of the first period and seeing the score 3-1 Ontario at the first intermission as the Reign took advantage of several Utah giveaways.
The Reign made it 4-1 2:38 into the second period off of another Utah turnover as Shane Owen replaced Andrew Engelage in goal after the rocky start in front of him.
Berkley Scott hammered in a puck on his own rebound 58 seconds later to make it 4-2.
Utah leading scorer Mitch Wahl led the Grizzlies with three assists and a plus-two. Nick Tuzzolino had two assists for his third two-assist game in the last week since rejoining Utah from the AHL.
Utah and Ontario continue their series tonight at 7 p.m. from California.
The Grizzlies are back home Friday, February 9 at 7 p.m. and Sunday, February 10 at 4 p.m. to host Idaho.

This classic timepiece is a must-have for any advanced Ruth collector. The offered example is especially nice because its pictorial face is Near Mint, its metal components are EX, and it includes the original red cardboard display mount (VG) and plastic baseball-designed encasement (EX). Not to mention the fact that it's still fully operable! Accompanied by a 13x6 period newspaper advertisement promoting the watch on sale for just $3.95.

If you're holding your breath for your new Mara Hoffman pieces this year I've got 2 words: WORTH IT. We're obsessed with these new styles in stock and if this season is anything like last year, they won't be here for long! Light up in the Chiffon Hooded Coverup in Odyssey Lime, such an amazing print and guaranteed you're not finding another chick on the beach wearing anything as cool as this.
Mara Hoffman's bikinis are to die for and this years batch are no exception. A lot of life and a lot less fabric – ladies and gentlemen they're cut to flatter. Perhaps an adaptation of last years strappy bikini's the Stringy Bikini in Batik Red is smoking hot.
Only downside? Body not included.

- Category: Winnipeg Jets Top Prospects
- Written by Kevin Won
Andrew Copp, C
Shoots: L
Height: 6-1
Weight: 201
Born: 1994-07-08
Hometown: Ann Arbor, Mi, USA
Drafted: 2013 by Winnipeg Jets, 104th overall
March 2015- Andrew Copp has signed a 3-year entry-level deal with the Winnipeg Jets with an AAV of $958,300. His season ended on March 21st after a loss to Minnesota in the NCAA Big Ten Tournament. He's been regarded by management as the 'most-ready' Jets prospect for a while and have rewarded his hard work with a contract. Look for the former Michigan product to report directly to the Jets and perhaps get a start as a 4th-line grinder. He's got great scoring skill, but his strong defensive play will see him most likely in a defensive role unless injuries start piling up in the Jet's stretch run. -Kevin Won
January 2014 - Andrew Copp tallied five assists in five games with the USA World Junior team earlier this month. Unforunately, they failed to make it past the quarterfinals, losing a 5-3 decision to Russia. Copp played in all types of situations and provided a steady all-around game to the team. -Kevin Won
December 2013 - Andrew Copp was an overage draft pick of the Winnipeg Jets in 2013 with quite a unique path of development. Starting out with the US-NTDP program as an extra forward, he saw limited ice time in the games he played in since he was also playing high school football. Injuries prevented him from playing the full season in both sports. The following year he went to Michigan and after a lethargic first half, he put up 21 points in 24 games and forced himself up to the top line. He is now an assistant captain for Michigan and currently has 14 points in 14 games. He was recently invited to the USA World Junior Evaluation Camp in August and will represent them at the World Juniors at the end of December. His leadership skills and goal scoring ability were two reasons Team USA bench boss Don Lucia named his as one of two alternate captains. Copp is a gritty forward with good strength, skating and faceoff ability. For his second year focusing on hockey, his development has just begun. Look for him to turn into a potential third line two-way forward who can contribute to the score sheet. -Kevin Won
Fantasy Outlook: D+
A classic late bloomer, look for him to turn into a reliable two-way center who can score goals, win draws, and come up big when under pressure.
Copp (26) controls the play, forces a turnover, and makes a slick move to score:

Shortstop -- make that infielder-outfielder -- Tyler Pastornicky has been out in the outfield catching batted balls after taking some hacks in the cage before batting practice for the Atlanta Braves. Pastornicky will likely be optioned back to Class AAA Gwinnett once shortstop Jack Wilson comes off the disabled iist; he's eligible to come off on July 29 but first will be playing some rehab games with the G-Braves to test his dislocated right little finger. Wilson has zero offense. He hasn't even been a reliable bunter lately. And he has been uncharacteristically uneven defensively, probably because he has gotten so few starts: 14. When he does start, he appears to be rushing everything, so eager is he to impress manager Fredi Gonzalez and get more playing time. But the Braves want to turn Pastornicky into a utiiity man, and having him play shortstop for the Braves every day would set back that plan. Not to mention that it's already been made clear that shortstop is not his bes...

Super League preview: Hull FC v Huddersfield Giants
Last Updated: 07/07/13 2:23pm
Hull FC have made two changes to their squad ahead of Sunday's Super League clash with high-flying Huddersfield Giants at the KC Stadium.
Coach Peter Gentle is without the in-form Ben Crooks for the visit of the Giants, who are just one point behind table-toppers Wigan Warriors.
The centre, who has seven tries from the last two outings, rolled his ankle during the defeat to Wakefield Wildcats on Monday but is not expected to face a lengthy spell out.
"We are hoping it is just one week but we will have to wait and see how it develop over the next few days," Gentle explained.
The Black and Whites are also awaiting results of scans carried out on Daniel Holdsworth's calf meaning forwards Chris Green and Jay Pitts get the nod to replace the injured duo.
Similarly, Giants head coach Paul Anderson makes two changes to his 19-man squad ahead of the trip east.
Kyle Wood could appear in a Huddersfield once again following his re-signing from Wakefield Wildcats on a three-and-a-half-year contract earlier in the week.
Young prop Josh Johnson, 19, is also included in the 19-man travelling party as Craig Kopczak and Anthony Mullally both miss out.
With Castleford producing a shock victory against league leaders Wigan last weekend, Giants back row Brett Ferres is hoping his side can continue their climb to the summit.
"We need to do a job on Hull to keep the pressure on at Wigan, last week Castleford did us a favour but we need to put ourselves in a good position to keep pushing towards that top spot and it's an achievable goal and something we want to do," he said.
The Giants have won three of the previous five meetings between the pair and come up against a Hull side who have lost three straight.
Hull FC: Arundel, Briscoe, Ellis, Galea, Green, Heremaia, Houghton, Johnson, Lineham, Lynch, Miller, McDonnell, O'Meley, Pitts, Tickle, Watts, Westerman, Whiting, Yeaman.
Giants: Grix, George, Cudjoe, Wardle, McGillvary, Brough, Robinson, Crabtree, Lunt, Ferres, Faiumu, Lawrence, Patrick, Ta'ai, Murphy, Cording, Ferguson, Johnson, Wood.

I previously owned another brand of compressor that was similar in size. It did not require oil. It did however require ear plugs. When the thing would kick on, it sounded like someone started a lawn mower in the room. I decided this time that I wanted a more quiet belt drive, oil type, air compressor. Though I had never heard this one run before I purchased it, I was really pleased when I turned it on. It is not half as loud as my previous air compressor.This 29 gal. 2 HP 150 PSI Cast Iron Vertical Air Compressor is no toy. It weighs just under 200 pounds. Once you work with it a little, it is easy to see where that extra weight translates into better quality. Everything on it appears to be heavy duty and well made. My only complaint is the location of the oil fill and oil drain locations. I will offer a few tips for those who purchase this compressor. Thoroughly check it over when you first open the carton. This thing is so heavy that it does not get gentle treatment in transport. In fact, one that I saw at the store, had a fork-lift ran through the carton. I learned the hard way to check it for damage and air leaks before you install the wheels, etc. I had to return the first one that I purchased because it would not hold pressure. The second one that I received was perfect. It set for two days at 140 plus PSI and never lost a pound of air pressure.The best way to check for air leaks is with dish soap. Just mix a heavy concentration of dish soap in a small glass of water. Stir it up with an old tooth brush. Then apply the suds around the various fittings with the tooth brush. If there is an air leak it will start to blow bubbles. Look closely with a flash light and a small mirror. Sometimes a tiny air leak may only produce microscopic bubbles on one side of the fitting. OIL- The site information and online instructions might lead one to believe that they have to install oil in this unit before they can operate it. I even purchased extra oil to do this. To my surprise, both of the units that I received already had oil in them. For this reason you should haul this compressor home in an upright position. A small amount of oil will leak out of the oil fill tube if you lay it on the side.The only thing that one initially installs on this unit are the wheels and the front rubber feet/pads. One odd thing that I noted during that assembly was that the included washers for the rubber feet/pads were to small. If you tighten the bolts a bit to tight, the bolts and washers will pull thru the holes in the rubber feet/pads. I found two larger washers that I had on hand. They worked much better.Hardly anyone uses an air compressor without adding peripheral devices like water/oil filters, shut-off valves, etc. It has always been a complaint of mine that most air compressors do not come with a mounting panel on them to install such devices. I found that the protective screen over the pulleys and cooling fan system on this compressor was a good place to mount items. If you decide to do that remember to use short bolts that will not interfere with the belt and pulley system. Also, do not severely block the cooling fan for the compressor head. I used a small air hose remnant for flexibility to still be able to remove the screen if the belt needs serviced.Another item that one needs to be careful with are the fittings around the pressure switch, gauges, and tank fill connection. I had to remove the quick disconnect coupler on the side of the pressure switch assembly to accommodate a hose line to my filters. When doing so I discovered that the fittings around that pressure switch assembly are not very tight. The manufacturer is evidently relying on the thread compound they used to seal those fittings. If you move them the least bit and break that seal, they begin to leak air. I found that the only way to repair it was to take all of the fittings apart and apply new thread compound. Then reassemble and re-tighten everything. That is not an easy task. One can avoid the problem by simply making sure that nothing else can turn, when and if you remove the quick disconnect coupler. One final tip on air compressors in general. Always insert a 1/4 turn ball valve as the first thing in the line, previous to any quick disconnect couplers, peripheral devices, air hoses, etc. Air tools and other devices tend to leak air. If one has a positive shut off valve previous to all else, it will retain the pressure in the tank for extended periods. It will avoid unnecessary cycling of the compressor. That will save wear on the air compressor and also save electricity. All things considered, it is a good piece of equipment. I doubt that one could find a better unit this size for twice the price. I Hope This Is Helpful,

After reading the reviews, not only here but other websites as well, I decided to go ahead with the purchase. Based on the amount of DIY stuff I do it's a great size, fairly mobile, and I like the motor/pump combo as opposed to the oiless units.That being said I was also warned about buying anything with an electric motor from HF. I shrugged it off, but low-and-behold shortly after using the compressor, the 'RUN' solenoid went Tango-Uniform. I use a dedicated 25ft heavy duty extension cord (when needed) and 30A circuit breaker so I had more than enough power and wasn't 'choking' the motor.I ended up purchasing a Made in the USA Leeson 2HP motor, and have absolutely NO problems out of the compressor now. The caveat however, is that the purchase of a new motor put the compressor price point closer to some of the more well-known brands. Because of this is gave it 3-stars.

So far, so good!
By Matic
from Phelan, CA
About Me Avid Do-It-Yourselfer
This compressor is replacing a smaller 8 gallon direct drive that was too little to run my new shop building. I'm not a heavy compressed air user, but the large capacity, higher PSI, and fast recharge rate are excellent. Extremely quiet coming from a direct drive compressor. If not used, it will go a week or more without losing enough air to require a cycle compared to the last compressor that was one or two cycles a day. It's only been a month, but so far I don't see any issues popping up. Seems above average quality for HF.ONE NOTE: This compressor motor CANNOT be rewired for 220V as someone else mentioned. Perhaps HF changed motor vendors on the newer units, but the Marathon brand motor on the unit I received is a 110V only motor.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Great Replacement for a 40 year old Compressor
By Will
from Idaho
About Me Casual Do-It-Yourselfer
My 40 year old Wards Air Compressor's tank finally failed, and to replace the tank would cost as much as replacing the compressor. I had looked around at different places for a new compressor but most were in the $600 range. Then I got an ad from HF that had this compressor in it and thought well I'd give it a try. I highly doubt it will last 40 years, but hopefully it will get me by until I can get my hands on a replacement tank for my old compressor. This compressor seems to run for a long time to fill up the 29 gallon tank. Once its filled up though it runs all of my air tools easily, even the air hog impact wrench and ratchet. I knew when I started looking for a compressor I wanted a belt driven one as they seem to last longer, they are also quieter than the direct drive compressors. I did a quick break in of the pump right after getting the compressor setup. I plugged it in, opened the drain valve and let the compressor run unloaded for about 5 minutes. After that I just closed the valve and let it fill up till it shut off. I'd recommend changing the oil in it after about 10 hours of use just to get any possible contaminates out of the pump early on to prevent early wear of the pump. I'd recommend paying extra for the 2 year warranty. The compressor isn't cheap to begin with and the little warranty it comes with is laughable for the price that's on the compressor.

so far so good
By kb7uxe
from Roy Wa.
owned about 3 months. Replaced the regulator with a high volume regulator. OEM was restrictive causing pressure drop under high flow. (impact gun ) rewired for 220V. added extra intake holes in the filter. this raised noise level slightly, but may have increased intake. works great. takes 6.5 min to pump up from 0 psi, and 1.5 min to recover from 120 to 150 psi. so far very happy with this unit. good flow, quick recovery, quiet, thrifty on power. Thank you ..

Much better than expected
By Motorhead
from New Mexico
I've owned this for a few years now and let me say: first off, this thing is extremely quiet compared to the unit it replaced. I had a very large oil-less from one of the big chain stores and after a few years it finally dismantled itself. (parts went everywhere) I have a separate tool room in my garage and that's where the compressor stays. If I didn't turn the other unit off, I would hear about it from my wife. You could hear that darn thing throughout the house (two story, large home). This unit can stay turned on and I never hear it or my wife nagging about turning it off. I have yet to have this compressor disappoint me. I have most tools known to man and it runs all of them without issue. Obviously you have to use common sense when it comes to running certain tools, it won't run a D/A for long periods, but it will work. I run impacts, air hammers, grinders, and other tools with no problems what so ever. Just make sure you perform the required brake-in, have enough juice and the right extension cord, if needed, and it runs like a champ. It always shuts down right at 150psi and builds air pressure reasonably quick...much, much faster than my old one. I would recommend this to anybody needing a compressor for their home garage or small shop. By the way, I also have a HF 2HP pancake compressor, that is (somewhat) portable, a bit heavy and awkward...it's a little beast! runs framing nailer and finishing nailers at the same time. Get one!

Best 120VAC compressor out there.
By Dave
from Columbia, SC
I've had this compressor for about a year now.I am 63 and not getting any stronger so I initially bought this to power a 3/8" impact ratchet and 1/2" impact gun after my son and I had to use a 5' long pipe and both of us pull to remove a crankshaft bolt on his Accord, and I swore I would never do that again! 6 months later, my next door neighbor was doing the same thing for a couple days before he knocked on my door and asked if I would be willing to see if my impact gun would remove that same bolt on his Honda. My air hose wouldn't reach that far so I filled up the tank and we rolled the compressor over there and had the bolt loose in seconds! I find that this compressor will power pretty much any normal mechanic's tools quite nicely. I have the 1/2" impact gun, 3/8" impact ratchet, a 1/4" ratchet, and impact hammer and they all work great. I painted the hood of my daughter's Volvo and it looks great, though I did have to climb a bit of a learning curve as to how to lay a good coat of paint. I used the HF "purple" HVLP gun for the hood.I have recently been painting latex with the HF LVLP gun and am very impressed with that gun and LVLP in general and will be moving all my painting to LVLP from now on. The LVLP gun allows very precise transfer of paint to your workpiece and can be adjusted for nearly no over spray, all the while using much less paint than normal due to the minimal over spray. HF needs to expand their LVLP offerings.One of the things I like most about this compressor is that it is MUCH quieter than most competitors. My compressor is in my garage in a suburban neighborhood and neither my wife and family or the neighbors want to listen to a compressor. With this compressor, once I leave the garage and close the door to the house, you can barely here it, and once you take 4 or 5 steps into the house it is completely inaudible. I have never had any WAF (wife acceptance factor) problems, so that is good. You can actually have a conversation standing right next to the compressor and not have to raise your voice.So, as you can tell, I am pleased. I think this is perhaps the best 120VAC compressor you can buy.I had thought that this compressor would be temporary because I want to be able to paint the occasional car or truck and believed I would need a much larger compressor for vehicle sanding, but I find I can use an electric 3/16" orbit random orbital sander on our vehicles and get results that are quite acceptable so now I may not upgrade after all.I see that one reviewer has given a one star rating based on the unfortunate tendency of some air tool manufacturers to rate their tools air consumption at "no load". Yes, if you take that sander and just spin it up without touching anything, perhaps it will indeed only use "3 cfm", but in no real world will you ever get any work done on such a small air flow. Realistically for sanders, grinders, buffers, etc you need a MUCH larger compressor than this one, regardless of what you read in an advertisement. Unfortunately, in the air tool business you are expected to know this. Obviously, that gentleman didn't and it is not really his fault that he believed what he read, is it? Never the less, that is how you can get to folks reviewing the exact same product and giving such divergent opinions.Another small but satisfying benefit of having this compressor is the ease in keeping all the cars and bicycles tires inflated correctly.This compressor is a winner!Dave

Great Little Compressor
By EZ Street
from Oakville, Ontario, Canada
This has turned out to be a great little garage compressor for everything from blowing up bicycle tires to operating air tools. It started out with a poorly placed drain plug that was also had stripped threads. It just needs a TBE nipple to extend it out from under the pump unit...not rocket science. I JB Welded a piece of aluminum flat bar over the drain hole. Now I just use my oil vacuum to empty it...The fix works great and it looks clean and original too. Can't get over how quiet it is for that great price. Filled it with AMS Oil compressor oil. Should have a long life with the limited use it will get and premium AMS Oil in it.

I got this discounted due to it had damaged gauge. 5$ fix saved me 40$. I followed other reviews and web searches and changed the oil after break in. I have had this over a year in my large 2 car garage. I use this much more than average home owner. I am constantly working some sort of project. very impressed with its ability. I have attached another tank for extra air storage and it keeps up fine with HF scaler just fine. if you run the impact or angle grinder 100% it needs pump after a couple mins. Ran scaler non stop for hours with no issue. nicest 120v compressor ive seen.
