A two-piece solderless connector is disclosed herein having a first member formed with a cavity supporting a leaf spring over which a strip of plastic backed electrical conductors are carried so that the strip is folded over upon itself to define a contact closure between opposing surfaces of electrical conductors. Opposite ends of the conductors within the cavity terminate at an elongated opening constituting an entrance leading into the cavity for insertably receiving similar electrical conductors projecting from a second member of the connector. Resilient biasing members urge the conductors together. The connector conductors of both the first and second members provide an integral part of a flex circuit and the electrical conductors of each member are integral with separate and individual circuit conductors included in the over-all flex circuit.
1. A solderless electrical connector for releasably joining opposite ends of multiple contact flexible circuitry comprising:
a first and second length of flexible circuitry having a plurality of electrical conductors carried along their lengths in insulative fixed parallel spaced-apart relationship;
a form defining an open cavity for supporting said first length of flexible circuitry so that said first length of flexible circuitry is folded over upon itself to define a contact closure between opposing surfaces of exposed electrical conductors;
resilient leaf spring means carried on said form within said form cavity yieldably urging said contact closure together, said resilient means comprising a pair of elongated V-shaped members having their opposite terminating ends anchored in said form with a single free end slidably carried on a sloping ramp with the apex of said V-shaped member movably projecting into said form cavity to support said first length of flexible circuitry; and
a projection for supporting said second length of flexible circuitry so that said second length of flexible circuitry is folded over said projection to define exposed electrical conductors for mating with electrical conductors of said contact closure when said projection is inserted into said form cavity.
2. The invention as defined in claim 1 wherein:
said pair of V-shaped member constituting a support backing about which said first length of flexible circuitry bears against it along the length of said support backing.
1. Field of the Invention
The present invention relates to the field of electrical connectors and more particularly to a solderless connector having conductors that are an integral part of flex circuitry intended to be coupled together.
2. Brief Description of the Prior Art
As the usefulness of electronic equipment has expanded with the increase in technological improvement and with the widening demand, both militarily and commercially for equipment capable of handling vast quantities of information at increased rates of speed, the need for high density electronic packaging has become of increasing importance. A concomitant of this trend is the need for circuit protection and miniaturization which, while providing the requisite component density, maintains both system reliability and serviceability. Under the thrust of this expanding use, it has become an economic necessity to provide a circuit component construction which is of reduced density and which includes interconnecting means for coupling into the electronic equipment which both minimizes the possibility of error in field maintenance procedures and reduces overall system complexity.
With increasing component packaging design, the reliability of circuit interconnections has become of paramount significance. Particularly, this is true with respect to the design, construction and interconnection of circuit components and assemblages which carry out the basic work function of the electronic equipment utilizing flex circuitry. Conventionally, electrical circuit networks employ a wide strip of plastic encased, spaced apart electrical conductors which is known as a flex cable or flex circuit. Joining terminating ends of such cables so that appropriate conductors are both mechanically and electrically connected generally requires soldering the ends of the conductors to pins, terminals or the like. Such a procedure is very expensive, time-consuming and labor intensive. Attempts have been made to avoid the soldering procedure which contemplates piercing or crimping a pin to the conductor; however, these procedures have been found to be unreliable and to result in intermittent connection.
Therefore, a long-standing need has existed to provide an integral connector joining a plurality of conductors together in a flex circuit without the necessity of soldered connections or joints.
Accordingly, the above problems and difficulties are obviated by the present invention which provides a novel integral connector of two-piece construction having first and second members carried at opposing ends of a conventional flex circuit which terminates in a plurality of electrical, spaced apart connectors. One member of the connector includes a cavity having the end of the flex circuit folded over upon itself to provide opposing surfaces constituting a closure for the connector while the other flex circuit is folded over a projecting portion of the second member exposing the electrical connectors so as to constitute the other half or portion of the contact closure intended to be insertably received into the cavity of the first member. Spring biasing means are carried within the cavity of the first member so as to bear against a portion of the flex circuit to forcibly urge the electrical connectors into the contact closure position with the electrical connectors of the other flex circuit. Each member of the connector is composed of a plastic block which is formed in two parts that are placed at about the end of each of the respective flex circuits and that are joined together by adhesive or ultrasonic bonding so that the ends of the flex circuit place the respective electrical conductors in the aforementioned positions. The respective spaced apart electrical conductors form a part of the flex circuits by being imbedded in an insulative member such as a film or layer of plastic material whereby the end of the flex circuit is unitary in construction and may be readily folded over upon itself within the respective cavity and respective projection of the connector members. The insulative film or layer of material is removed to expose the opposing surfaces of conductors within the cavity and about the external surface of conductors carried on the projection.
Therefore, it is among the primary objects of the present invention to provide a novel electrical connector which is integral with the conductors carried on a flex circuit so as to be integral therewith and which does not employ soldering, crimping or piercing procedures.
Another object of the present invention is to provide a novel electrical connector which is unitary in its construction and either flexible or rigid, and is integrally formed with the electrical conductors carried on the ends of a circuit cable.
Still another object of the present invention is to provide a novel integral flex circuit connector for joining the respective electrical conductors carried on opposing ends of a flex cable or circuit which is inexpensive to manufacture and which provides reliable mechanical and electrical connection therebetween.
Yet another object resides in providing a double or single spring means for urging the opposing conductors of a socket connector together intending to insertably receive a mating connector plug.
The features of the present invention which are believed to be novel are set forth with particularity in the appended claims. The present invention, both as to its organization and manner of operation, together with further objects and advantages thereof, may best be understood by reference to the following description, taken in connection with the accompanying drawings in which:
FIG. 1 is a front perspective view of the novel connector incorporating the present invention and illustrated in a position preparatory for closure;
FIG. 2 is a view similar to the view of FIG. 1 having the respective connector members broken away to illustrate the electrical connectors carried on the respective flex circuit or cables;
FIG. 3 is a transverse cross-sectional view of the first member of the connector taken in the direction of arrows 3--3 of FIG. 2 showing a single spring biasing closure;
FIG. 4 is a view similar to the view of FIG. 3 showing a double spring biasing closure; and
FIG. 5 is a transverse cross-sectional view of the second member of the connector illustrated in FIG. 2 as taken in the direction of arrows 4--4 thereof.
Referring now to FIG. 1, the novel connector of the present invention is indicated in the general direction of arrow 10 which is employed for joining the opposing ends of a pair of flex circuit or cables indicated in general by numerals 11 and 12 respectively. Each flex circuit or cable comprises a plurality of parallel and spaced apart electrical conductors, such as illustrated by numeral 13 on flex circuit 11 and numeral 14 carried on flex circuit 12. The plurality of electrical conductors 13 and 14 are carried between sheets of plastic constituting insulation so that the insulation separates adjacent conductors and holds the respective conductors in position with respect to one another and as a unitized element. The insulative sheets of plastic encasing the respective connectors are broadly identified by numeral 15 on flex circuit or cable 11 and numeral 17 on flex circuit or cable 12.
Referring further to FIG. 1, it can be seen that the end of flex circuit 11 terminates in a first connector member 18 which is of sufficient length to accommodate the width of the flex circuit 11. Member 18 accepts the end of flex 11 through one end thereof while the opposite end of the member is provided with an opening 20 serving as an entrance leading into an internal cavity within the member 18. Also, it can be seen that the end of flex circuit 12 terminates through one side of a second member identified as numeral 21 which is provided with a cantilevered projection 22 outwardly extending from the side of member 21 opposite to its side receiving the flex circuit or cable 12. The plurality of electrical conductors carried on the flex circuit 12 are arranged in fixed parallel spaced apart relationship in a similar fashion to the arrangement of electrical conductors on flex circuit or cable 11. A plastic or insulated sheet is carried about the arrangement of conductors so that they are held in a unitary arrangement and are insulated from one another. However, it is to be noticed that with respect to member 21, the plurality of conductors extend beyond the side of the member to fold about the projection 22 and that the insulation on the one side of each of the conductors is removed so as to expose the conductor for mechanical and electrical engagement with a mated and exposed conductor within the cavity of the member 18. Therefore, the connector 18 may be broadly referred to as a female connector while the member 21 may be broadly considered a male connector so that when properly joined, the members provide an overall integral connection between the respective ends of the electrical connectors carried by the flex circuits 11 and 12 respectively.
Referring now in detail to FIGS. 2 and 3, it can be seen that the connector member 18 includes an end portion of the flex cable circuit 11 which is folded over upon itself within the internal cavity which is broadly identified by numeral 25 in FIG. 3. The end of the flex cable 11 is initially trained through an upper portion 26 of the member 18 and folded about an internal mass 27 so that an exposed portion of the conductor part faces the cavity 25.
It can be seen that the flex cable or circuit 11 is initially trained about mass 27 so that the circuit strip or cable is folded about itself a first time and then within the cavity 25 is folded back upon itself again to form a curvature 28 where the terminating end of the cable 11 is passed over a resilient means taking the form of a leaf spring 30. The leaf spring has its opposite ends touch or embedded into the opposite corners of the member 18 forming the cavity 25 The leaf spring is bowed or bent past center so as to normally bias the terminating end of the flex circuit 11 towards the opposite portion of the flex cable. However, a space resides between the two opposing surfaces which is to accept the projected end of the member 21 within the cavity 25. It is also to be noted that the insulation is removed from the electrical conductors so as to expose their opposing surfaces within the cavity 25. Thus, a portion of a two-piece closure means is provided by the exposed surfaces of the plurality of conductors within the cavity 25 wherein a portion of the conductors are spring-biased towards one another by the leaf spring 30. The leaf spring provides enough force to urge good mechanical and electrical connection between the respective conductors carried by the members 18 and 21 when insertion occurs within the cavity 25 by exposed conductors about the projection 22 of the member 21.
Referring now in detail to FIGS. 2 and 5, the member 21 is illustrated wherein the flex circuit or cable 12 is trained about the projection 22 outwardly extending from one end of the body of the member 21. The flex cable is exposed on the portion of the cable outwardly extending from the body 21 where the insulative material 17 has been removed. The extreme terminating portion of the cable or circuit 12 is imbedded within the body of the member 21 so that the circuit or cable 12 is integrally provided on the projection 22.
In FIG. 4, another version of the invention is shown in which a pair of springs 19 and 29 are employed to forceably urge or bias the opposing connector conductors towards each other. The applied force is yieldable so that the conductors spread as the projections of the plug are forced into the cavity 25. It is within the inventive concept to employ a spring biasing means that applies a yieldable force from both the upper and lower sides of the cavity 25 as well as from just one side as shown in FIG. 3.
Also, it is to be understood that a single conductor plug and socket may be constructed which is rigid and may be referred to as a pin connector. Instead of a plurality of conductors as shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, a single projection and a single socket may be used. FIGS. 3, 4 and 5 may represent such a single and rigid construction. The flex cable may be a rigid cable for this embodiment.
Therefore, it can be seen that the two-piece connector of the present invention provides a male and female component or plug and socket which may be readily joined together to provide a proper mechanical and electrical connection between exposed portions of a plurality of electrical conductors carried at the ends of a flex circuit 11 and another flex circuit 12 respectively. No solder, piercing or crimping procedures or techniques are involved. The connector closure contacts are an integral part of the flex circuit itself. The individual circuit paths via the conductors are extended into a geometry of parallel finger contacts. In the area of the finger contacts, the flex circuit is folded over upon itself and wrapped around portions of the molded connector member or body to form a socket in the instance of member 18 or a positive contact connecting interface with the projections of the member 21. The contact fingers or exposed portions of the conductors are always supported or carried on an insulating substrate or base film or insulative sheets. The substrate, base film or insulative sheet is an integral part of the flex circuit 11 and 12 respectively. In the socket configuration shown in FIGS. 2 and 3, the finger contacts may be backed with additional spring pressure, as shown in FIG. 4, to attain designed contact pressure or interface between inter-connecting conductors and the springs may be metal or plastic composition.
The bodies of the connector members 18 and 21 are intended to be multi-piece construction and may be ultra-sonically or solvent welded or bonded together about the respective portions of the flex circuit 11 and 12 to provide the desired foldings and configurations shown in FIGS. 3 and 5. The respective electrical conductors may be composed of copper or other electrically conducted materials while the insulating sheets or film covering the conductors may be of a Kapton base film or other plastic composition.
While particular embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be obvious to those skilled in the art that changes and modifications may be made without departing from this invention in its broader aspects and, therefore, the aim in the appended claims is to cover all such changes and modifications as fall within the true spirit and scope of this invention.

Jennifer Phegley - Courtship and Marriage in Victorian England
All Library locations will be closed on Saturday, July 4 in observance of Independence Day.
Thursday, February 9, 2012
6:30pm @ Central Library
Jennifer Phegley, chair of the Department of English at the University of Missouri – Kansas City, examines how many of our modern marriage traditions – including wedding dresses and honeymoons – have their roots in the Victorian era.
Today's internet dating even has predecessors in Victorian personal ads in newspapers, matrimonial agencies, and courtship correspondence groups.
Phegley draws on little-known conduct books, domestic guidebooks, letters, and novels to reveal the Victorian versions of "dating" and "tying the knot." And she points out that Victorian ideas of romance may have left us with unrealistic expectations about finding our "soulmates."

Arsene Wenger has confirmed record goalscorer Thierry Henry will not be returning to Arsenal on loan this month. The 35-year-old scored 228 goals in 337 appearances for the Gunners and now plies his trade with New York Red Bulls in the United States. Henry returned to the Emirates Stadium on a short-term loan this time last year and had been lined up for a similar move this January. However, after much talk, Wenger has revealed he will not be returning to the club. "I think he goes away somewhere," the Arsenal boss said after the 1-1 draw at Southampton . "He is not ready, he has just come back from holiday anyway. At the moment we are not on that case." Asked for clarification, he said: "No [it is not happening]".

AUSTIN, Texas—The lead front-page story in The Wall Street Journal Friday is on the phenomenon of "empty voting" in corporate governance and credits Professors Henry T. C. Hu and Bernard Black of The University of Texas Law School with coining the term. The story refers repeatedly to their May 2006 Southern California Law Review article, "The New Vote Buying: Empty Voting and Hidden (Morphable) Ownership."
Professors Hu and Black use the term "empty voting" to refer to hedge funds and other investors holding more votes than economic ownership. In an extreme case, an investor can have no economic interest – or a negative economic interest – in a company, and yet hold a significant number of votes. The traditional notion of "one share-one vote" would no longer apply when, for instance, an investor uses "equity swaps" (or other derivatives) or the share lending market to "buy" votes.
In addition, based on WSJ reporter Kara Scannell's interviews with Professor Hu, The Wall Street Journal story quotes Professor Hu as saying, among other things:
"You have this whole superstructure built on this notion that there is this coupling of economic interest and voting power. With these financial innovations, you're screwing around with the foundation."
The story also quotes Securities and Exchange Commission Chairman Christopher Cox on the need to address such issues. On Wednesday (Jan. 24), the Financial Times (London) reported on a speech by SEC Commissioner Paul Atkins, and noted that Commissioner Atkins' warning on these hedge fund tactics "mirrors concerns expressed last year" by Professors Hu and Black. Professor Hu and Black's research constitutes the first systematic attempt to address what they refer to as the "new vote buying" and its corporate governance implications.
Friday's story in The Wall Street Journal story is illustrative of the attention their research is receiving, here and abroad. For example, the Financial Times has published a number of stories discussing this new research, including Ben White, Thesis on hedge fund tactics gives investors a shock – Professor's warning on 'empty voting' has big impact in the US, FIN. TIMES (London), Oct. 6, 2006, at 21 and Ben White, Concern in US over 'empty voting', FIN. TIMES (London), Oct. 6, 2006, at 21. In an editorial on October 16, 2006, Pensions and Investments endorsed greater hedge fund transparency as to share ownership, largely based on the professors' research. See Barry B. Burr, 'Morphing' hedge fund ownership, PENSIONS & INVESTMENTS, Oct. 16, 2006, at 10.

After years of spending top dollar on top tier free agents, the New York Yankees want to cut their payroll in 2014 and that might cost them Robinson Cano. The 30-year-old second baseman is set to become a free agent after the 2013 season and is looking to sign a contract similar to that of Alex Rodriguez's current deal with the Yankees. While Cano is in the prime of his career and arguably the best player on the New York roster, he may very well end up on a different team in 2014. The New York Daily News reported that numerous sources predict that Cano will play somewhere other than New York after next season. "I don't think he'll be with the Yankees beyond next season," one of the sources told the Daily News. "He's not giving them a hometown discount, and they seem to be more interested in keeping their payroll down than winning." Cano is represented by Scott Boras and the agent is very well aware of the way the Yankees do business. "I think the Yankee policy is very clear, that they always walk through the contracts and then address them when they end, as they did with Jeter and other players," Boras said. "We just will get [Cano] ready to play the season, play out the season and then evaluate things at the end of '13." Since 2009, Cano has on average hit .314 with 29 home runs and 102 RBIs. He has established himself as one of the premier infielders and pure hitters in the MLB during that time. At the age of 30, he may not get the mega-c0ntract that Rodriguez signed in 2007, but Cano is going to get paid in 2014. It is just a matter of how much and by who.

I wanted to pop in an write a quick post to say that it will probably be quiet on here for the rest of the month. Not only am I slammed with grading (lots of essays last week and I'm collecting more this week), but I also started 2 classes so I can renew my certificate. The classes are only 4 weeks long, but I'm going 3 nights during the week for 4 hours each session, and an 8-hour session every Saturday. It's not the best, but I'll get all the hours I need to renew. Needless to say, my "free" time will be limited and blogging will have to take a back-seat (not that I've read much recently). I'm sure I'll still pop in, but it will definitely be quiet. :)
Have a wonderful week!

NYSE Liffe will be extending its Bclear service to accommodate market participants seeking to execute large size interest rate products. The Exchange is focused on facilitating efficient markets and its Bclear solution reconciles the processing and regulatory implications posed by large off-exchange transactions.
"With the regulatory environment moving towards greater use of central counterparty clearing services, NYSE Liffe is leading the way in supporting the Fixed Income trading community with a new service through its Bclear franchise, which is an innovative alternative for processing products currently traded off-exchange," said Finbarr Hutcheson, Chief Executive of NYSE Liffe.
The Bclear Fixed Income contracts are available via the Exchange's existing Central Order Book and Wholesale Services. Business submitted to NYSE Liffe via Bclear must meet a minimum volume threshold and be priced at a fair value, in accordance with the Bclear rules. Bclear contracts will be fully fungible with the existing Fixed Income contracts, and will contribute to a single pool of open interest for the relevant contract.

Fashion ID: Dianna Agron's Chic Travel Style
We've been raving over Lea Michele's new fashion icon status, but it looks like Dianna Agron (Quinn) might be the one to watch! While most of her fellow Glee clubbers opt for sneakers and sweats on cross-country flights (like on their way to DC to perfrom at the White House's Annual Easter Egg Roll), Dianna chooses chic and comfy ensembles to see her through the airport in style.
To battle the uncertainty of those airplane cabin temps, Dianna tops a flowy top with a feminine, tailored jacket. A roomy cross-body bag allows for easy transport of travel necessities (snacks, magazines, Evian face mist); while simple ballet flats are stylish and easy to remove at those security checkpoints. The finishing touch: chic shades to hide those tired, bloodshot eyes (they don't call it the "red-eye" for nothing!)
Loving your smart style, D!

About PREPARE and GOG-191
PREPARE was a study in patients receiving neo-adjuvant breast cancer treatment in which darbepoetin alfa was administered to prevent anemia at target hemoglobin levels of 12.5-13 g/dL. After a median follow up of approximately three years, relapse-free survival (72% versus 78%), and overall survival (86% versus 90%), were lower in darbepoetin alfa-treated patients.
GOG-191 evaluated the efficacy of maintaining hemoglobin levels between 12-14 g/dL in patients with advanced cervical cancer undergoing chemotherapy or radiotherapy. Progression-free survival (59% versus 62%) at three years, and overall survival (61% versus 71%), were lower in Epoetin alfa-treated patients.
The Boxed Warnings have been modified to now read:
WARNINGS: INCREASED MORTALITY, SERIOUS CARDIOVASCULAR and THROMBOEMBOLIC EVENTS, and TUMOR PROGRESSION
Renal failure: Patients experienced greater risks for death and serious
cardiovascular events when administered erythropoiesis-stimulating agents
(ESAs) to target higher versus lower hemoglobin levels (13.5 vs. 11.3 g/dL;
14 vs. 10 g/dL) in two clinical studies. Individualize dosing to achieve
and maintain hemoglobin levels within the range of 10 to 12 g/dL.
-- ESAs shortened overall survival and/or time-to-tumor progression in
clinical studies in patients with breast, non-small cell lung, head and
neck, lymphoid, and cervical cancers when dosed to target a hemoglobin
of greater than or equal to 12 g/dL.
-- The risks of shortened survival and tumor progression have not been
excluded when ESAs are dosed to target a hemoglobin of < 12 g/dL.
-- To minimize these risks, as well as the risk of serious cardio- and
thrombovascular events, use the lowest dose needed to avoid red blood
cell transfusions.
-- Use only for treatment of anemia due to c

Jedd Gyorko In 2010 the Padres selected Jedd Gyorko in the 2nd round of the first-year player draft. Today he was given the number nine and a spot on the opening day roster. Congratulations to Jedd, he's a hard worker, good guy, and will be a solid baseball player. With that said, I couldn't disagree more with this move. I don't want to hear, "the front office is showing they want to win now" talk, because if that was the case, then maybe they should have spent a little coin during free agency to bolster one of the weakest starting staffs in baseball. With the understanding that the Padres do have some money, yet cannot spend like the top 10 markets in baseball, and they need to make wise "business" decisions for the short-term and the long-term. Moving forward… I like Jedd personally, and I think he's going to be a good everyday player in baseball, which is exactly why having him break camp with the Padres is a terrible idea. If the Padres waited until May 1 they would contro...

US Deputy Marshal Don Lovell works the Indian Territory "on the scout" out of Fort Smith, Arkansas, in 1878. He is known for a strong handshake and a firm disposition, and for making good his word. Women generally find him ominous and aloof, yet a few know better. What makes the difference is impossible to predict and, for the most part, a woman who doesn't know his character is intimidated. He has that effect upon many people-men and women alike. In any company… (más)

IPA and Metro taking entries for paid internship scheme
By Maisie McCabe, campaignlive.co.uk, Friday, 01 February 2013 03:53PM
The Institute of Practitioners in Advertising (IPA) and Metro newspaper are taking entries for their Creative Pioneers Challenge, which offers recent graduates paid internships at top agencies.
The internships will start in either July or September, at more than 40 advertising, creative and digital media businesses, including Karmarama, RSA films, Ogilvy and Glue Isobar.
Graduates wishing to apply for an internship need to choose up to five placements from the job board on the Creative Pioneers site and then answer some questions and upload a CV and a video entitled "I'm a Creative Pioneer because…"
Applications close on 18 February at 12pm and the shortlist will be announced on 19 March.
The Creative Pioneers Challenge gives final-year university students, recent graduates and school leavers the chance to win a three-month paid internship or apprenticeship in a range of media and creative businesses.
Janet Hull, executive director, Creative Pioneers Challenge, said: "We were so encouraged by the success of our interns last year landing permanent roles, that we have doubled our efforts this year to provide even more opportunities."
The apprenticeship scheme, for school or college leavers between the ages of 16 and 24 with qualifications no higher than A-Levels (or an equivalent), will open for applications in March.
Linda Grant, managing director, Metro, said: "We're proud to be partnering with the IPA for a second year running as we look to grow the success of the Creative Pioneers scheme and help fresh talent get a foothold in one of the fastest-growing and most valuable sectors in the UK.
"This year's apprenticeship and internship categories offer a further breadth of opportunities to school leavers and graduates, giving them the chance to showcase their creativity and their desire to learn, whilst rewarding them with real-world skills and the foundations for a bright career.
"After finding strong talent through last year's scheme ourselves, we can't wait to find our very own 2013 creative pioneer."

So either in GoW 2 or 3, Kratos gets this ability to slow down time and the screen becomes green.
So Kratos is in this temple like place and he forces these male priests or worshippers to read a book because the book is in another language. When the priests refuse to read, you slam their faces into the book and it's a bloody mess.
Here's the part I find funny.
So Kratos comes to this one priest who is pretty smart. He sees Kratos coming and he's like, "Oh hell no!" This fool throws himself off a cliff and dies. You have to use the time slow down to catch him and make him read the book.
The part I find funny is what he says and how he throws himself off the cliff.
Did anyone else find it funny?

The table setting: Casual elegance
The look: Tony Foreman, the co-owner of upscale restaurants such as Pazo, Charleston and Petit Louis, went for an eclectic approach for his casual table setting. "It's all beautiful things that I love," he said. "I chose this because I thought it was beautiful." Foreman said that it is nice to have a rich neutral background that reflects the season.
The menu: Olive oil, bread, wine, seasonal fruit, antipasto, one warm dish — possibly a hearty pasta, or simple roasted peas and beef.
Where to get it: The large plate is from a Williams-Sonoma after-Christmas sale; the floral plate is an Old English heirloom that belonged to Foreman's grandmother. The water glass is from Finland and the wine glass is from Austria. The glass bowl is from Pottery Barn. The silverware was made the same year as Foreman's home (1905) and is from Argenterie de Turenne, a Paris-based company that specializes in antiques. He purchased the napkin in Northern Italy. As for the wine, it's Langhe Nebbiolo, Roberto Voerzio "Vigneti S. Francesco, Fontanazza" 2008.

Fear no defense against license revocation in Minnesota
Published 06/10/2013
The Minnesota Court of Appeals says fear of harm is not a defense against losing one's driver's license for drunken driving. In a 2-1 ruling Monday, the appeals court said state law has never recognized the "necessity defense" against a driver's license revocation for drunken driving.Word count: 137

I've been away from blogging for a few months now, obviously due to the time requirements of moving across the country. Things are finally starting to settle down to the point where I can begin to think less about urgent things such as registering vehicles, finding a pediatrician/dentist/etc. appointments, and unpacking, and more about important things such as composing music, practicing music, teaching music, reading about music and writing about music.
Still, I'm not quite at the point where I have consistent time every week to write quality blog articles, so I thought I'd hold my readers over with one more post on YouTube picks.

The plutonium was sent to a place called the plutonium Finishing Plant.
So was the plutonium that went into the construction of the nuclear bomb Fat Man, which was detonated over Nagasaki.
Possibly as triumphant as ending World War II with a bomb made from plutonium developed here.
transuranic element, 1942, from Pluto, the planet, + element ending -ium. Discovered at University of California, Berkeley, in 1941, the element named on suggestion of Seaborg and Wahl because it follows neptunium in the periodic table as Pluto follows Neptune in the Solar System. The name plutonium earlier had been proposed for barium and was sometimes used in this sense early 19c.
plutonium plu·to·ni·um (plōō-tō'nē-əm)
Symbol Pu
A naturally radioactive, metallic transuranic element, occurring in uranium ores or produced artificially by neutron bombardment of uranium. Its longest-lived isotope is Pu 244 with a half-life of 77 million years. Atomic number 94; melting point 640°C; boiling point 3,228°C; specific gravity 19.84; valence 3, 4, 5, 6.
Symbol Pu
A silvery, radioactive metallic element of the actinide series that has the highest atomic number of all naturally occurring elements. It is found in minute amounts in uranium ores and is produced artificially by bombarding uranium with neutrons. It is absorbed by bone marrow and is highly poisonous. Plutonium is used in nuclear weapons and as a fuel in nuclear reactors. Its longest-lived isotope is Pu 244 with a half-life of 76 million years. Atomic number 94; melting point 640°C; boiling point 3,232°C; specific gravity 19.84; valence 3, 4, 5, 6. See Periodic Table.

The Swiss went into the encounter as the man in form but it was Djokovic who conquered his own doubts to win 3-6 6-3 7-6 (7-3). Federer had beaten his rival two weeks earlier on his way to the title in Dubai and had hoped to repeat the double he managed the last time he won back-to-back tournaments in 2012.
Although it was not to be, Federer was happy he had managed to maintain his form at such a high level, putting his struggles of last season even further behind him. The 32-year-old said: "I'm very happy. I think I'm playing really good tennis. I'm moving well, serving well, consistently well. So many things are working. I'm just surprised that I'm able to keep it up week after week now. I expected myself to have a breakthrough tournament, but then maybe a couple of early exits. Who knows, maybe that's all [still to come].
"Overall I'm just happy I'm playing consistent tennis and I'm going deep in tournaments and I'm giving myself chances to win. I got very, very close, so it's encouraging for Miami and for the rest of the season."
His run in the Californian desert lifted him back to No.5 in the rankings, from No.8, and he has world No.4 David Ferrer firmly in his sights. His countryman Stanislas Wawrinka is not too far ahead either, although Djokovic and world No.1 Rafael Nadal will take a lot of catching.
"It [being No.1] would be a big deal but being No.4 or No.3; that's not a big deal," Federer said. "It might help the seedings and the draws but, other than that, just right now, to think too far ahead will be a mistake.
"A few weeks ago, months ago, a few people said I couldn't play tennis any more. I need to make sure I keep a good schedule and enjoy it. At the same time, that fire, wanting to win, is important and right now I have it."

geforce 4 ti 4200 and xfree (126.96.36.199)
i have a sparkle geforce 4 ti 4200 (128mb), and while i got it to work with windows 2000 just fine (after installing some drivers for my via agp chipset and a win2k hotfix) i have several problems using it in linux.
i got it to show 2d graphics (i.e. xfree starts), but as soon as xfree has started the textmode console is rendered useless because the characters are almost black and the screen doesn't show all the lines it should... pretty annoying...
worse is that if i use the Xv extension to enable xine to use hardware colorspace conversion and scaling it does work, but only in monochome (black and white)... i have no idea why that is, but i'd relly like to watch my color videos in, well, color ;-)
any ideas what i could do to fix those problems would be welcome... especially, does anyone else have problems with a geforce 4 ti on linux (i have an asus a7v board btw)
I'm not really sure if you are already using nvidia's closed source drivers which contain 3d and Xv support. The default xfree86 driver (nv) supports the geforce4 in xfree86 4.2.x and higher.
If you don't have the nvidia drivers grab them from http://www.nvidia.com/view.asp?PAGE=linux
When you use those apps using Xv work fine.
sorry i forgot to include these quite important details in my first post:
i am using the closed source nvidia drivers (1.0-2960 tarballs) and both kernel module and glx drivers compiled w/out complaining on my debian testing ("sarge") gnu/linux 2.4.17, so that is why i thought the monochrome xv might be a bug with nvidia's drivers.
also the messed up console / textmode might be due to my using a (sharp) tft screen, it tells me that digital (dvi) signal is out of sync in textmode after i switched to graphics mode and back, but for analog (sub-d) vga signals it reports "V:69Hz, H:31.1kHz" which i suppose should work... also when using bios setup or linux console (before having it messed up by starting x) w/ analog signals, i can't see the lines at the very top and bottom which is likely because the card produces "strange" frequencies outside its usual 1024x768 mode (which i auto-adjusted my tft to), the text-mode looks perfectly fine when using digital dvi singals though...
3d apps apparently work though for some weird reason i can't get some of the opengl xscreensavers to run with -root when they run in a window just fine (and apparently accelerated because of their high fps); unfortunately my quake3 install seems to be broken... i'll try to fix that to get a "real" opengl app running...
you said the xfree >4.2.x nv driver supposts geforce 4... i suppose that is unaccelerated (or w/out xv/opengl at least), right?
Make sure you aren't using rivafb as a framebuffer driver. If so disable it at all it is very evil.
i suppose rivafb is what i get when i enable (in make menuconfig) Console Drivers->Frame-Buffer Support->Nvidia Riva Suport? I never had that compiled in my kernel... so i don't think i could be using it... or do i have to disable it eslewhere?
Yep that is rivafb, if you didn't enable it there it isn't used.
ok, thanks... so i suppose this is really a driver bug / incompatibility... just hope nvidia gets around to fix it soon... anyway you can't really claim linux support if your xfree driver messes up the console... then again.... oh well

Pleasantly Surprised - AWESOME BOOT!
"I too hesitated after reading the negative reviews, but took a chance. I love these boots - they resemble a pair of Ann Demeulemeester boots I've been coveting for years but can't justify $1K. The black are awesome, well made comfortable and for me felt true to size."

"despite the bad reviews, i decided to order these boots anyway. i really went out on a limb and bought them in black and brown. i am obsessed with these boots! ive worn them everyday so far since ive bought them. they match perfectly with everything and they're so comfortable. i love them and not to mention the price. i ordered a size 9 but im usually an 8.5. they still fit well though."

Beyond Expectations
"After reading the mostly negative reviews for this shoe, I ended up deciding to buy it anyways. I thought with a little hope, I might be able to write a good review for these shoes. Apparently a little faith worked! I am in LOVE with this boot. I bought them in black, a size 8. I am usually a size 8.5 but I took into consideration what one of the other reviews said and bought half a size smaller, because I have bought shoes in the past that make my feet look "clownish" as she put it. But they fit really well, and I'm wearing them with thick socks at the moment so I can mold them better to my feet. If I had to say, the picture does the actual boot 100% justice. I don't know what everyone else was expecting, but I received beyond what I was thinking I was going to get when I opened the box. They're really sturdy, and personally, I love the material that they're made with, it's not too thin whatsoever. If someone else was thinking of purchasing the black version, I'd say go half a size smaller and you're golden! Also, I didn't get a faster shipping package, and they came in 4 days flat, best shipping I've ever received."

"I read the other reviews over and over before considering these on sale. For 50 dollars they're okay. The disappointing thing is the color, yes they are a muddy dark brown, not a bright, aged caramel, so they are on the cool tone side, not the warm kind of tone that goes with spring, summer, fall- but the do fit true to size, they do feel super comfortable and they look "rustic," in an understated way, so not so bad."

Too Big. Terrible Shipping, But Cool Shoe.
"Well, after 10 days these boots finally came. I've had my eye on these since March, but hesitated to order them until a few weeks ago after having read the poor reviews.
Expecting the worst when I opened them, I was actually surprised to find that they were exactly what I had expected. The leather on my buckle straps is even and fine and I think the shoelaces are how I expected they would be. They aren't stiff like straw. My shoes are somewhere in between matte and glossy. The shoelace area of the shoe is a bit puckered and ill fitting, but not so much that it bothers me.
What does bother me is that the shoes are a half size too big. I ordered my normal 8 1/2 and these shoes fit much more like a 9. I'm tripping over my feet when I walk in them and they look like clown shoes on me.
Now I am faced with the horrible reality of having to exchange these, which after already waiting FOREVER for these to get here I will have to wait an eternity to get the size that fits me. By the time I return these and FP sends them back to me, I'm betting it will be at least a month. That really enrages me."
