Today, I decided to finally plug in my instruments properly, and plugged both my cheap lab PSU (ARKSEN 303D) and oscilloscope into sockets on the same strip with real ground prongs. After connecting the scope ground with the PSU negative rail, it quickly became clear that something's wrong, because the wire connecting them went white-hot and sort of caught fire.Read on →
In this note I will describe a part of a 50W resonant LC converter that I am designing. The converter will be modular: it will feature a control board with an Ethernet interface, a frontend board with a rectifier/multiplier and a matching network to allow current/voltage readouts, and a power board with the high-voltage transformer, its driver and signal isolation.
This note describes the first revision of the power board.Read on →
After assembling a full-wave rectifier out of some 1A7 1kV-rated diodes, I noticed that it does not, in fact, rectify. I speculated that the diodes I used have a recovery time too high. Since it was not specified in the datasheet, I decided to measure it myself, which I describe in this note.Read on →
In an earlier note I described an improvised vacuum chamber. I wanted to perform sputtering in it, but an acrylic flange would melt if the feedthroughs got hot enough (and they will get hot), and that would be pretty gross.
In this note I describe how I CNC-milled a glass flange.Read on →

Take a trip through rock 'n' roll's haziest, craziest period, beginning with The Beatles and Bob Dylan turning on in a New York hotel, and continuing on through two decades of wonderful, colorful, history-changing music. From psychedelic Woodstock warriors like Hendrix and the Jefferson Airplane to psycho-stereo adventurers Pink Floyd; from the post-hippie bliss of Neil Young and cosmic cowboy Willie Nelson to the druggy blues of Black Sabbath and the hemp-happy rhythms of Peter Tosh and Bob Marley, Out of Our Heads gleefully celebrates music's most creative minds - and their chemically induced expansion. This is the rare book that is unafraid to bask in the groovy good times of rock 'n' roll without the politically correct preaching that has helped stifle the party. To all those who have ever listened to Dark Side of the Moon on a pair of headphones and said Wow: this book is for you.

Professional Ratings: 93 Australian Wine Companion, 90 International Wine Cellar, 90 Wine & Spirits
Region: Victoria, Australia
Varietal: Pinot Noir
Other Info: Screw Cap Wines
Style: Light & Fruity
Alcohol By Volume: 14%
Item no. 104963
The 2008 Brokenwood Pinot Noir is a mid-weight Pinot Noir. Good depth of color and youthful purple tints are evident. Great complexity to the aromas. Lifted red cherry over sweet earthy savory characters with a touch of oak sweetness. The balance is aided by ripe tannins giving a lingering finish. The will mature further, although enjoyable as a fresh, zippy young Pinot Noir.
Light, bright and clear crimson-purple; an elegant pinot, essentially unforced; sappy, spicy red cherry fruit drives the bouquet and palate with a gentle infusion of French oak. Scores for its authenticity and purity.
Light red. Heady aromas of strawberry, raspberry and smoky spices. Lively, supple red berry flavors are complicated by tangy spice and floral qualities. Very suave, with a sweet, lively, persistent finish and no rough edges. This is delicious right now.
Fragrant with forest floor scents of fraises des bois and mushrooms, this darkens and tightens into its cherry flavors and cool binding of acidity. It's clean and lasting, with a firm structure that suggests three or four years of aging.

2003 Infiniti FX35 Q&A
2003 Infiniti FX35 Question: engine
My car light or engine light comes on and off. The car runs fine, and I don't want any big cost - Visitor
Answer 1
f the Check Engine Light/Service Engine Soon light illuminates while you are driving, the car's on board computer sees a fault in the engines management system that is causing an excess amount of pollutants to be emitted from your car. This could result in engine damage if left neglected. Some problems that can cause the Check Engine light to stay on may take two "drive cycles' to complete before illuminating the Check Engine Light. The computer sees a problem and looks for an identical set of circumstances to occur to confirm that it has indeed seen a problem before turning on the light. A Check Engine light that continually flashes while you are driving is serious and is a sign that the computer sees a problem that seriously risks damaging the catalytic converter which may result in an expensive repair or even may cause a fire! Diagnostic codes are stored in the vehicle's computer and can be retrieved using a scantool that communicates with the computer in your car. We have in our Repairpal website an encyclopedia with in depth articles about computer, and computer control systems, emission and driveability problems. http://repairpal.com/check-engine-light - patrick mannion

MLS Regular Season
Dynamo 1, Seattle 1 -- postgame notes
Houston Dynamo earned their first point of the 2011 season in one of the
toughest venues in Major League Soccer on Friday night, pulling out a 1-1 tie
against the Seattle Sounders in front of 36,204 fans at Qwest Field in Seattle.
Goalkeeper Tally Hall, playing in front of roughly 40 family members from nearby
Gig Harbor, Wash., made six saves as the Dynamo earned the tie despite being
outshot 26-6.
Hall puts forth spectacular performance
Tally Hall was outstanding in his return to his home state of Washington, leading the Houston Dynamo to their first point of the season in a 1-1 draw with the Seattle Sounders on Friday night.
Hall, Dynamo hold on for road tie
It was not the win either team was hoping for, but it is the result both will take after the Seattle Sounders and Houston Dynamo played to a 1-1 draw Friday night at Qwest Field. Visiting Houston came within 10 minutes of eking out a 1-0 victory on Geoff Cameron's opportunistic goal in the 42nd minute, but Seattle tied it on Steve Zakuani's equalizer in the 80th minute.
Q&A: Houston Dynamo goalkeeper Tally Hall
On the eve of his return trip to the Pacific Northwest, Gig Harbor, Wash., resident Tally Hall chatted with HoustonDynamo.com about soccer in Seattle and his alma mater San Diego State, which made it to the Sweet 16 of this year's NCAA men's basketball tournament.
Disclaimer: This interview took place before San Diego State's 74-67 loss to Connecticut in Thursday's night Sweet 16 match.

Dynamo looking for first win in Seattle
It doesn't take much to create a rivalry in MLS. A tough tackle, a hard-fought match, or a competitive playoff series can spark a feud between fan bases and create a tough battle between teams on the field.
Ching returns, Taylor out for Friday night
HOUSTON – Although the Dynamo were excited to see Brian Ching back at training this week, after missing last Saturday's game due to a hamstring strain, Houston's depth will be tested once again tomorrow night when they take on the Seattle Sounders at Qwest Field (Fox Soccer 9 p.m. CT).
Carr may add new dimension to Dynamo
The Chicago Fire traded Calen Carr to the Houston Dynamo in exchange for Dominic Oduro.
The Houston Dynamo searched throughout the entire offseason for a quick forward with a nose for score goals. The answer to that search could be Calen Carr, acquired on Wednesday in exchange for Dominic Oduro. The 28-year-old comes to Houston with a reputation for scoring in the crucial moments of a match.
MLSSOCCER.COM POLL: Who got the better of the Oduro-Carr trade?
Daunting trip to Seattle looms for Dynamo
One week into the 2011 season, and the Houston Dynamo are already looking to bounce back from a tough loss. The fifth-minute goal they surrendered to the Philadelphia Union in the season opener last Saturday brought back memories of defensive lapses that plagued the team in 2010.
But despite the setback, those feelings have not permeated the team as the club prepares to head to the Pacific Northwest to take on the Seattle Sounders on Friday (9 p.m. CT, FOX Soccer, FOX Deportes, 950 AM, 850 AM).
Dynamo acquire forward Carr from Chicago
The Houston Dynamo have acquired forward Calen Carr from the Chicago Fire in exchange for forward Dominic Oduro, it was announced today.

Beyonce Bares Her Beach Bod' In A Sexy One Piece
Posted on Wed Jul 1st, 2015 9:40am PDT By X17 Staff
What a stunner!
The 33-year-old shared a number of intimate pictures on her website on Tuesday -- and hot damn does she look good! The superstar also shared some snaps of her husband Jay Z and their daughter Blue Ivy while they relaxed on a family vacation. Now that looks like the life!
The superstar slinked about in a Mara Hoffman lattice one piece suit in dusty rose. In one of the new pics, Bey showed off her guns, and in another highlighted her bodacious booty. We can't help but be envious of her flawless curves!
Let's hope these images are a product of good genes and working out -- and not Photoshop!
The photos are a continuation of some vacation snaps that the "Single Ladies" singer posted to her website last week.

An increase in MediaWorks' equity value from $207 million as at September 30, 2014 to $608 million, which was the company's value when it was acquired by Ironbridge Capital in 2007, would deliver a bonus of up to $40 million for directors and senior executives."

It was reported that John had a 3 year contract and only 1 year of that was tied to Campbell Live so it is probable he knew long ago likely scenarios and outcomes. Linda Clark will have been working hard and the upswing in audience numbers will hopefully have made some difference.
The reality is that selective viewers of broadcast TV don't pay the bills. TV3 has been bailed out at least twice before and the last reorganisation saw something like $500m written off by a consortium of banks and other owners.
Campbell Live was the last watchable show on TV3 and that is a sad thing. Apart from a few selected shows no-one in my home has watched regular TV for years.
With an unlimited data (connection) and a choice we are close to 100% online. Ironically we watch TV shows we missed on broadcast and some of them have 7+ years of series available – all with no ads or a handful like on Hulu.
Occasionally we watch Maori TV – it seems strange that is the last local bastion of thoughtful TV in NZ. Al Jazeera is good – although a little unrelenting for longer viewing.
Hopefully John will have a holiday and be successful somewhere else.
Up Front: Stand for... Something, in reply to
My hesitation about patriotism and its close relative nationalism is that it always comes across as black-and-white thinking. And that's a trap.
Thanks Stephen I agree . I'm not sure the opening conversation with the American in a pub really means what anyone thinks it means. In other words patriotism of the obvious kind seems to be the very opposite of the attitudes and culture of most New Zealanders.
Except when there is some national sports team winning something. As it happens I have no interest in cricket or rugby so I can mostly avoid the periodic outbreaks of faux patriotism. Most of those sports teams are professional entertainers working in a media business. I know some people like that sort of thing but it is mostly just media manipulation.
Maybe there is some reason for flags in 2015 but I can't think of a good one.
To me patriotism of the obvious U.S kind seems to be some kind of soundtrack for a Leni Riefenstahl movie.
It often masks a power play by an elite against the underdog in an argument. At the same time I'm not sure anyone can define patriotism.
As someone who has often travelled outside NZ the biggest change in some kind of collective national culture is the welcome use of the Māori language in regular speech.
I personally think that tells more of a Nationhood story than any kind of "top-down" PR campaign can ever hope to do.
In other words – it is complicated but so far for me patriotism seems to be a mostly negative thing. A kind of manipulation alert for the most part.
Hard News: About Campbell Live,
The 20 highest rating funded television programmes on air last week, 2 – 8 April 2015
From that list Country Calendar is the real star coming in number 1 and number 11 as a repeat beats. a lot of other programmes I haven't seen either.
Perhaps the key word there is *funded* TV 3 news & CL are probably unfunded.
Hard News: About Campbell Live, in reply to
Thanks Russell – so there are 3 indicators that count.
Nielsen measures live viewing (with a sample of 600 Peoplemeter households) and also time-shifted viewing, via a smaller panel.
On-demand viewing over the internet is measured separately by the broadcasters and third-party companies. But it's still typically a fraction of the broadcast audience.
How then does one get to be on a people meter panel? One commenter (Alfie) mentioned their parents were on one for 8 years. That doesn't sound very efficient.
I also recall some mention of viewer engagement which alludes to media buzz on social channels. And what about the brand value angle noted by Bart Janssen?
Am I correct in noting that TV3 news ratings are down because it doesn't have a soap before it to get viewers. That must have a flow on effect to CL as well- surely.
I wonder if CL would be better in a different time slot and in my view better would be more hard hitting stories. I have watched less of CL lately because unless a politician is getting roasted or there is a meaningful topic I won't stay for the whole programme.
I think that the days of live broadcast TV are definitely numbered although that could change if global mode gets turned off.
At present 90% of viewing in our household is online via AppleTV. I get most of my news via twitter and some from radio (but only while driving.) NZ TV news from any channel is not a patch on Al Jazeera.
CL is pretty much the only show on mainstream TV that I still watch but only if the topic suits. I suspect that the fluff stories on CL are an attempt to prop up numbers and be more like 7sharp which I have never watched.
If MediaWorks wants to get to a younger demographic they need to be on YouTube or another streaming channel because that is what the kids watch now.
Hard News: About Campbell Live, in reply to
Except that the same forces at work here were / are keen on closing down RNZ I thought?
Thanks Again Paul & Ian, I had seen some of these on twitter but not all and it was great to find them here in one place.
Hard News: Villainy and engagement,
Best not to give these shows any more oxygen. I note that MediaWorks are the same company attempting to resurrect Paul Henry for some more trolling around the media dregs so it obviously works for them.
Netflix, Hulu and other streaming channels are killing broadcast channels, We are just watching the death throes of the old business model or not if you have already switched.
Hard News: Incomplete, inaccurate and misleading,
Not sure about anyone else but based on the 3 reports that were released yesterday there is zero accountability shown by Key, Collins or the Corrections department. Releasing 3 reports in a day like that is extremely cynical and the mark of an untrustworthy and lying government.
I'd prefer to have a PM I could trust. if I recall correctly the late Hunter S Thompson mentioned that Richard "Nixon was so crooked that he needed servants to help him screw his pants on"
I'm in deep despair about the lack of integrity in government. Ironically Key leaked the original info about the SIS briefing to call Goff a liar and now that it has been shown he lied and had the SIS lie on demand that is sick and not in a good way.
If the content is worth paying for I don't mind subscribing but the system has to actually work and be easy to use for both staff and readers.
On the Herald online this morning they had the headline
"Tobacco giant vows to find $23b award"
and now I see it has been changed to "Tobacco giant vows to fight $23b award" but there is a big difference between those two. At times it looks like the content on the herald looks like it is on auto pilot.
Very few stories there have any depth and that I would guess is a big challenge for daily news sites. There is almost zero analysis of stories on say the Herald. A few columns are not the same thing but those columnists rely on being widely read to have any influence so it is not a simple editorial puzzle.
It would be very good to know how other local paywalls are working or not. The NBR has been operating that way for a while with most of their content blocked from free access and they do seem to have some exclusive stories or analysis.
The Listener also operates a paywall. I have tried to pay for access there and the least expensive deal they can do is $5 for 5 days. Unfortunately after paying and getting a login I still can't get access but since it was a $5 test it is not worth the hassle.
I did talk to a subscription person but they kept referring to their supervisor and clearly knew nothing about digital subscriptions and I was quoted 3-5 days* to process which means the subscription would expire before they could look at it.
They should be able to extend subs to cover their slow process times but the over all impression is of an out sourced subs team with no clues. *After waiting longer they got it down to 24hrs but that is still too long in 2014 when the logistics should be simple and fast.
I have some experience of using bandcamp for music projects and formula there is pay $x or more. Quite often "subscribers" there pay more than the named price. Not always but that is always welcomed.
I did try using "flattr" which operated a micro payments system. It was recently taken over by someone else and the latest changes to their terms and conditions made it too much hassle to use.
So for anyone looking at these systems they need to be able to have a:
clear paid content strategy
technology / support systems that are easy to use
ideally a micro payment system of some kind (prepaid wallet?)
These would all be good things to know.

My DD is starting to bite her nails. I try to redirect her attention to get her to stop but it seems like she does it more. Should I be concerned? Any suggestions on how to get her to stop?

^^^me too...when I'm stressed or nervous. Hmm, wonder if something is on her mind..lol. Can LO really get stressed out?
Heather At Pampers
one of my twins was a nail biter as well. and not just her fingernails
i got her to stop because she LOVES having her fingernails painted, so i told her that if i paint her nails, she CANNOT bite them or they'll make her sick and i would stop painting them. IT ACTUALLY WORKED!! she hasn't bitten her nails in almost 2 years and she's 4 1/2!
^^^ohh, didn't think about that! I'll give that a whirl and see what happens. Fingers crossed!!
Heather At Pampers
paint her nails with pepper polish, i think it's called No bite or stop biting. It's a liquid you put on the nails that when they put it in their mouth it tastes horrible! I've actually used it on my SO recently cause he's a horrible biter, doesn't even do it out of nervousness just a bad habit that he does subconcously. I put it on his nails while he was sleeping, that first day was interesting but I haven't seen him with a finger in his mouth for about two weeks now!
^^^Ooo, where do you buy it? Mommy may need some too...lol.
Heather At Pampers
I think my cousin used that stuff that tastes horrible and it worked for her. She was a teenager at the time, I think. I used to paint my nails, but it didn't last for long. Don't ask to see my nails now. Yikes!

We got a hilarious letter from a listener this week. They asked if we'd read it over the air and get feedback. Now we're letting you weigh in online.
We recognized that playing "Battle of the Sexes" on our website was too cumbersome, so we simplified it! Hope you enjoy!
This morning we were talking on air about things we think we need, but don't really, like bottled water and computer tablets. One item on the list we couldn't agree on was wedding rings. The man gives a diamond and then at the wedding he gives a band. Why two? Would you be OK with a band with a diamond?
This video from CNN is really disturbing to me, because the woman seems so relaxed about hiring a guy to kill her husband.
A woman named Steph Strayer was recently traveling on a train from Philadelphia when she overheard a man bragging about cheating on his wife. She took his picture and posted it on Facebook with the caption:
DISCLAIMER: "With great pick-up line power, comes great pick-up line responsibility" — use them with caution!
I have only been married for just under 4 years. I spent most of my adulthood being single. Sometimes I miss it. Here are 13 underrated facts about being single...embrace it!
I saw this on facebook this morning and had to chuckle. Is this why so many relationships fail? Do we really expect too much? Is it that hard to please us? And are men so easily pleased. I don't think so
If a "Facebook Cutest Couple" contestant wins 6 times they earn a shot at becoming "reigning champion." With 7 victories under her belt (the final one coming from a trouncing she gave a previous 6-round champion) Laura is the current queen of the "Facebook Cutest Couples." Molly easily won 5 of her 6 bouts. Does she have a fighting chance? She has until next Friday at noon to prove herself. The winner gets a four-pack of tickets to an upcoming Tri-Cities Fever game.

A tensioning tool which holds the free ends of a tension band secured to a clip and clip screw and rotation of an adjusting knob causes tension to be applied to pull the band through the clip until the desired tension is achieved.
1. A tensioning tool for applying tension to a tension band held between a clip and a clip screw, the tension tool including a body having fixed positions for attaching ends of a tension band, a tension shaft having a proximal and a distal end and being constructed and arranged to hold a clip at its distal end and to be inserted through said body and attached at its proximal end to an adjusting mechanism which drives said tension shaft distally relative to said body, said tool further including a tension wrench for holding a screw and being constructed and arranged to pass through said tool proximally toward the distal end to thread a screw into a clip held at the distal end of said shaft.

Not Applicable.
This invention relates to a tensioning tool used with a tension band and clip system in spinal applications. The tensioning tool assists in the placement of the tension band and its corresponding clip. Once positioned, the tensioning tool pulls on the tension band through the clip and holds it while the clip is locked securely with the clip screw.
Surgical procedures for the repair or fusion of large and small bones, ligaments and tendons, and other orthopedic procedures frequently require use of an orthotic device or attachment apparatus which can be subject to tensioning and bear heavy loads caused by the unique anatomical features of the compromised bone or tendon. For example, fractures of the patella are exposed to high stresses during flexion and extension of the knee joint; fusions of the spinal vertebrae are exposed to high gravitational forces and movements of the spinal column; torn ligaments and tendons are exposed to high stresses due to contraction of the associated muscle or flexion and extension of the bony structures; and trochanteric reattachment and cerclage techniques involve cable that is tensioned and exposed to high weight loads and stress factors.
Examples of surgical cable attachments include U.S. Pat. No. 4,966,600 to Songer et al. Clamps for holding the cables are shown in U.S. Pat. No. 6,053,921 to Wagner et al. A polyethylene cable system is described in U.S. Pat. No. 5,456,722 to McLeod et al. Polyethylene cable tying is shown in U.S. Pat. No. 5,628,756 to Barker Jr., et al.
The art described in this section is not intended to constitute an admission that any patent, publication or other information referred to herein is "prior art" with respect to this invention, unless specifically designated as such. In addition, this section should not be construed to mean that a search has been made or that no other pertinent information as defined in 37 C.F.R. �1.56(a) exists.
The invention provides a tensioning tool for use with a clip designed to grip and hold a tension band or cable without the use of any additional securing features such as knots, such as the clip shown and described in U.S. Provisional Patent Application No. 60/242,841 filed Oct. 24, 2000, the disclosure of which is incorporated by reference. It is especially well suited for use with braided polymeric cable. It employs a tapered screw concept which is customized using radii at both the root and crest of the thread. This prevents cutting of the cable. Standard clip designs using sharp teeth would cut individual cable strands leading to cable failure.
The clip design allows for easy engagement (starting of the thread) with progressively more compression of the braided cable. The female thread of the outer body is designed with a large radius where the cable exits to form a loop. The thread profile follows the main taper and thus blends gradually to zero depth. This, along with the large exit radius, minimizes all sharp bends which act to cut the cable under cyclic loading.
The tensioning tool is used with a clip through which the tension band ends are placed after the tension band is positioned over the body parts, such as adjacent spinous processes. The ends of the tension band are secured to pins on the tool and a tension shaft of the tool is driven downwardly away from the pins, increasing the distance from the pins to the clip, thereby tightening the bands. Once tightened as desired, a tension wrench is inserted through the tool with a clip screw positioned on its tip. It is then rotated until the screw is firmly seated in the clip, thereby trapping the band in between the clip and screw. The tool is then removed after releasing the band ends from the pins. Any excess band ends may be trimmed away.
A detailed description of the invention is hereafter described with specific reference being made to the drawings in which:
FIG. 1 is a perspective view of the tool of the invention;
FIG. 2 is an exploded perspective view of the tool;
FIG. 3 is an enlarged perspective view of the distal end of the tool with a clip;
FIG. 4 is an enlarged perspective view of the distal end of the tool with a clip loaded;
FIG. 5 is a partial perspective view of the screw wrench and screw assembled thereto;
FIG. 6 is a perspective view of the distal end of the tool with a clip and cable passing into the tension shaft;
FIG. 7 is a perspective view of the distal end of the tool with a clip and cable passing into the tension shaft, with the clip held to the tool;
FIG. 8 is a perspective view of the distal end of the tool with the clip in place and a lock screw descending down;
FIG. 9 is a perspective view of the distal end of the tool with the screw locked in the clip with the locked clip being ejected from the tool;

FIG. 11 is a view of the clip, screw and cable of FIG. 10 with the screw removed; and
FIG. 12 is a cross-sectional view through an assembled clip and screw trapping a cable.
The tensioning tool 10 in the figures includes a tension main body 12, a tie off slider 14, adjustment knob 16 and clip screw wrench 18. The tie off slider 14 is slid onto the main body 12 of the device. Flats 20 on the main body 12 interface to flats 22 on the tie off slider 14 preventing it from rotating with respect to the main body 12. The tension spring 24 is slid into the cylinder 26 of the tie off slider 14, and over the cylinder 28 of the main body 12. The retaining lock 30 follows the same path as the spring 24 to lock it into place. The retaining lock 30 has keys 32 which interface to the main body slots 34 The retaining lock 30 is pushed against the spring 32 into the slots 34 and turned once bottomed out. In the turned position, the spring 24 pushes the keys 32 into the slot pockets. This prevents the retaining lock 30 from coming off.
The adjusting knob 16, with its annular ring 36, is slid into a T-slot 38 of the main body 12. The tensioning shaft 40 is slid into the end of the main body 12. The tension shaft 40 has flats 42 on the outside diameter which interface to flats 20 on the inside diameter of the main body 12 preventing it from rotating with respect to the main body 12 while allowing it to slide freely through the main body 12. Left hand threads 44 on the outside diameter of the tension shaft 40 interface to left hand threads 46 on the inside diameter of the adjusting knob 16. Turning the adjusting knob 16 counterclockwise draws the tension shaft 40 into the main body 12 and readies it for use.
The loop system is comprised of a tension band 50, female clip 52, and a male clip lock 54. The tension band 50 is routed inter body as required, and then the ends 56, 58 are fed through the female clip 52. The loose ends 56, 58 of the tension band 50 are fed through the slot 60 of the tensioning shaft 40 and then back out to the outside of the shaft through reliefs 62 in the shaft for routing up to the tie offs 64 on the sliding tie off 14.
After the tension band 50 has been routed and tied off on both sides, tension can begin by turning the adjusting knob 16 clockwise driving the tensioning shaft 40 out of the main body 12. As tension builds, the tension shaft 40 will pull on the sliding tie off 14, pulling it off the main body 12. In doing so, it will compress the spring 24 between it and the retaining lock 30. This relative movement between the sliding tie off 14 and the main body 12 can be seen as the retaining lock 30 migrates into the sliding tie off 14 as observed through a slot 70 in the sliding tie off 14. The distance traveled is proportional to the force applied and the spring rate of the spring 24. A scale marking on the sliding tie off can show the minimum and maximum forces.
Once engaged, the adjusting knob 16 cannot slide back out of the T-slot 38 of the tension body 12. The adjusting knob 16 and tension shaft 40 are hollow. This allows the clip screw wrench 18 to be passed through the adjusting knob 16 and the tension shaft 40 when securing a clip screw lock 54 into a clip 52.
In operation, the tensioning tool 10 is preassembled with a clip 52 and tension band 50 (one end) prior to placing and routing the tension band 50 at the surgical site. As shown in FIG. 3, the tension shaft 40 has two tabs 74 which engage flats 76 on clip 52 which prevent the clip from rotating. The tensioning tool 10 holds one end of the tension band 50 and the clip 52 for placement into the patient's body with the surgeon guiding and routing the free end of the tension band 50. Once routed, the surgeon connects the free end of the tension band 50 to the tensioning tool 10 for final tensioning and locking with the clip screw lock 54. The tension band 50 is routed up to a slotted locking pin 78 and routed through the slot around the pin and back through the slot to secure it in place. The remaining free end of the tension band 50 and the tension tool 10 is placed into the surgical site and the free end is routed around the desired structural elements (such as a around the vertebral spinous process, as shown in U.S. Pat. No. 5,989,256, the disclosure of which is incorporated herein by reference). The free end is then routed through the clip 52 entrance and up to the other slotted locking pin 80 and is secured as described for the other end to pin 80.
Tensioning is accomplished by turning the adjusting knob 16 clockwise which drives the tension shaft 40 out of the tension body 12. This increases the length between the slotted locking pins 78, 80 and the end of the tensioning shaft 40 thereby pulling the tension band 50 through the clip 52. The clip screw 54 is placed on the end of tension wrench 18 which has a tapered hex male end 82 which makes a frictional fit with the clip screw female hex end 84. The tension wrench 18 with screw 54 in position is slid through tension tool 10 from the adjusting knob end. The clip screw 54 is screwed into clip 52 locking the tension band 50 within the clip. Once locked, the adjusting knob 16 may be turned counter-clockwise to loosen the tension band 50 on the tensioning tool 10. The tension wrench 18 may then be pushed to eject the locked clip 52 from the end of the tension shaft 40. The tension tool 10 is removed and any excess tension band 50 may be cut away.
While this invention may be embodied in many different forms, there are shown in the drawings and described in detail herein specific preferred embodiments of the invention. The present disclosure is an exemplification of the principles of the invention and is not intended to limit the invention to the particular embodiments illustrated.
The above disclosure is intended to be illustrative and not exhaustive. This description will suggest many variations and alternatives to one of ordinary skill in this art. All these alternatives and variations are intended to be included within the scope of the claims where the term "comprising" means "including, but not limited to". Those familiar with the art may recognize other equivalents to the specific embodiments described herein which equivalents are also intended to be encompassed by the claims.
Further, the particular features presented in the dependent claims can be combined with each other in other manners within the scope of the invention such that the invention should be recognized as also specifically directed to other embodiments having any other possible combination of the features of the dependent claims. For instance, for purposes of claim publication, any dependent claim which follows should be taken as alternatively written in a multiple dependent form from all prior claims which possess all antecedents referenced in such dependent claim if such multiple dependent format is an accepted format within the jurisdiction (e.g. each claim depending directly from claim 1 should be alternatively taken as depending from all previous claims). In jurisdictions where multiple dependent claim formats are restricted, the following dependent claims should each be also taken as alternatively written in each singly dependent claim format which creates a dependency from a prior antecedent-possessing claim other than the specific claim listed in such dependent claim below.
This completes the description of the preferred and alternate embodiments of the invention. Those skilled in the art may recognize other equivalents to the specific embodiment described herein which equivalents are intended to be encompassed by the claims attached hereto.

What Makes You Smile in Life?
I try to live life with a smile and will do my best to keep you smiling too. That doesn't mean life doesn't have its share of challenges, but I really believe that attitude is something we can choose and I do my best to be a positive force in the lives of people around me. In my work and personal life, I'm often the go-to guy for advice and support, and that's a role I embrace. I'm a very steady, calm and secure person-- and, if we're together, you'll know you can lean on me. I strive to be a wonderful dad to my daughter, to enjoy family and friends and be of help to them when I can, to continue growing my business, and leave this planet with a positive legacy. I try to find the joy in every day because it's so easy to get caught up in life's mundane frustrations and lose sight of the big picture. Kindness and encouragement are great foundations for a relationship, as are attraction, passion and dedication. Let's tell each other funny stories about our lives over some Pad Thai or curry. Let's share our hopes and dreams while we explore city streets and country lanes. And maybe we'll share tropical breezes and passionate kisses too. I'm a romantic person who knows what he wants--a beautiful woman inside and out to share this amazing ride with. Is this you? Let's talk more over dinner .

The Caribbean Islands are great for snorkeling and diving. California, Florida and Arizona are a few out of a handful of states I enjoy.
Making custom wood pens on a lathe is a hobby I enjoy having. I also enjoy fun movies like "Rock of Ages." My daughter is the center of my universe and we have a lot of fun together (when her friends allow her time off!).
While I'm proud of my work success, I'm at the point in my life where I can create some flexibility in my schedule--so let's play hooky together. I'm looking for my partner in crime!
"Lamb," by Christopher Moore, was such a surprise that I've read it a few times. I read a lot, so the list is long!

While the etymology of gadget is a bit murky, it's my unschooled opinion that its nautical origin feels the most correct: sailors' slang word for any small mechanical thing or part of a ship for which they lacked, or forgot, a name. [Etymology Online] Michael Quinion points out that Kipling popularized its use eventually, having probably picked up the term on a few steamer trips to India from attendant sailors. There's a semantic implication to the original nautical use that I find especially compelling, even if I'm reading too much into it: a "gadget" was something consequential enough to ship function to be desired by a sailor, but not so essential or common that it had a memorable name. It was the sort of thing you were certain would make your life easier, but by its very nature wasn't useful enough for most of its users to remember. To quote another popular sailing adage from the 1850s: "That's fuckin' deep."

"Twenty thousand fucking leagues?"
I had always heard that the word origin is from the iron works / metal works / foundry that produced the Statue of Liberty. It was a french company called "Gadgette" or some spelling with a french pronunciation. When the statue was first introduced a small replica made of metal was also produced and sold in the thousands. Stamped on the replica was the name of the foundry, Gadgette, which people would pronounce in a similar way to the current pronunciation of the word we use today?
One time I won a game of 20 Questions by choosing a funnel as my object.
I guess that makes the funnel a gadget. A really old one.

- kids did not like them Review by mom of three ac
I knew these would be pretty low quality as they were intended to be a fun addition to my son's 3rd birthday party. I really thought the girls would enjoy wearing them the most. However they pinched and were simply really cheaply made. I would not recommend purchasing these.

- fun like star Review by trisha
The glasses were very economy. Gave away in the goodie bags instead of just candy. Kids love getting little goodie to play and wear so they totally enjoyed the party.
