Parallel CommentariesMatthew Henry's Concise Commentary
14:10-20 Samson's riddle literally meant no more than that he had got honey, for food and for pleasure, from the lion, which in its strength and fury was ready to devour him. But the victory of Christ over Satan, by means of his humiliation, agonies, and death, and the exaltation that followed to him, with the glory thence to the Father, and spiritual advantages to his people, seem directly alluded to. And even death, that devouring monster, being robbed of his sting, and stripped of his horror, forwards the soul to the realms of bliss. In these and other senses, out of the eater comes forth meat, and out of the strong, sweetness. Samson's companions obliged his wife to get the explanation from him. A worldly wife, or a worldly friend, is to a godly man as an enemy in the camp, who will watch every opportunity to betray him. No union can be comfortable or lasting, where secrets cannot be intrusted, without danger of being divulged. Satan, in his temptations, could not do us the mischief he does, if he did not plough with the heifer of our corrupt nature. His chief advantage against us arises from his correspondence with our deceitful hearts and inbred lusts. This proved an occasion of weaning Samson from his new relations. It were well for us, if the unkindness we meet with from the world, and our disappointments in it, obliged us by faith and prayer to return to our heavenly Father's house, and to rest there. See how little confidence is to be put in man. Whatever pretence of friendship may be made, a real Philistine will soon be weary of a true Israelite.
Pulpit Commentary
Verse 20. - His companion - no doubt his "best man," the "friend of the bridegroom." The parents of the Thimnathite, having no doubt obtained Samson's dower, and supposing him to have finally broken with his treacherous wife, proceeded to give her in marriage to the Philistine young man who had been Samson's friend - perhaps the man to whom she had told the riddle. The sad end of this unhappy alliance fully justified the opposition of Samson's parents to it in ver. 3.
Gill's Exposition of the Entire Bible
But Samson's wife was given to his companion,.... By her father, and with her consent, both being affronted and provoked by Samson leaving her, who judged her not only to be injured, but hereby discharged from him, and free to marry another:
and whom he had used as his friend; though there were thirty of them that were his companions, yet there was one of them that was the principal of them, and was the most intimate with him, whom he used in the most friendly manner, and admitted to a more free conversation than the rest, the same that is called the friend of the bridegroom, John 3:29 while the others were called the children of the bridechamber, Matthew 9:15. It is not unlikely that this person had too much intimacy with Samson's wife before, and so had the secret of the riddle from her, and so very readily married her, as soon as Samson departed; and all this furnished out an occasion and opportunity, which Samson sought for, to be revenged on the Philistines, as in the following chapter.
Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Bible Commentary
20. Samson's wife was given to his companion, whom he had used as his friend—that is, "the friend of the bridegroom," who was the medium of communicating during the festivities between him and his bride. The acceptance of her hand, therefore, was an act of base treachery, that could not fail to provoke the just resentment of Samson.
Judges 14:20 Additional Commentaries
Samson's Riddle
…19Then the Spirit of the LORD came upon him mightily, and he went down to Ashkelon and killed thirty of them and took their spoil and gave the changes of clothes to those who told the riddle. And his anger burned, and he went up to his father's house. 20But Samson's wife was given to his companion who had been his friend.

The present invention concerns an electronic assembly with a heat sink in particular for a discharge lamp control module for a motor vehicle headlight.
The electronic assembly with heat sink comprises essentially a printed circuit and a housing able to serve for thermal insulation and/or for electrical insulation and which comprises a heat sink. The heat sink is interposed between at least one face of the printed circuit and a face of the housing, the said heat sink extending over a major part of the face of the printed circuit and comprising an adhesive face for securing it to the printed circuit on the one hand and an adhesive face for securing it to the face of the housing on the other hand.

24. The assembly according to
25. A method of manufacturing an electronic module, comprising:
fitting electrical components and laying an electrical connection pattern to form a printed circuit, which is then provided with a first hole formed in a central area of the printed circuit and a conductive area being formed on the top face of the printed circuit, the conductive area further being coupled to the electrical ground of the electrical connection pattern;
constructing an interface layer including at least two adhesive faces and a second hole, the interface layer being placed on the bottom of a housing, so that a fixing stud affixed to an interior surface of the housing passes through the second hole, and at least one of the adhesive faces comes into contact with the housing;
presenting the printed circuit over the housing so that the fixing stud passes through the first hole; and
deforming the top of the fixing stud so that it comes into contact with the conductive area.
The present invention concerns an electronic assembly with a heat sink in particular for a discharge lamp control module for a motor vehicle headlight. In the prior art, printed circuits have already been assembled on metallic substrates. When electronic power circuits are put in operation on the printed circuit, there occurs both a noisy electromagnetic environment and thermal shocks caused by abrupt variations in electrical voltage or electrical current.
In a first prior art presented by the present applicant, in particular in the application EP 1.087.652, a description has already been given of an improvement to electronic assemblies with heat sink. In such assemblies, a relatively rigid printed circuit or card is associated, by means of a heat-conducting material, with a metallic piece or sole plate which makes it possible to discharge the thermal energy dissipated on the substrate of the printed circuit. In particular, in this first prior art, the metallic sole plate has a stud for fixing to the printed circuit through a drilling therein so that, when the stud is deformed by means of a tool during assembly, the printed circuit and the sole plate are fixed to each other, on the one hand, and a thermal coupling of the printed circuit and metallic sole plate by means of the heat-conducting and electrically insulating material is effected, on the other hand.
Unfortunately, this first prior art introduces several problems. In particular, between the printed circuit and the aluminium radiator, a material with two components, one of which is based on silicone with a filler whilst the other is a screen based on glass fibres, is compressed in a controlled or mastered fashion. The function of the first material is to produce heat conduction. The function of the second material is to effect electrical insulation. More particularly, the dual-component material fills the empty space between the metallic sole plate and the printed circuit.
The electrical earthing between the metallic sole plate and a provided conductive part of the printed circuit is provided by riveting the printed circuit to the sole plate by means of the aforementioned stud.
As a result the use of such a dual-component material is complex and has a high cost during mass production. In a second prior art, the electrical insulation function is provided by raising the printed circuit with respect to its radiator, by a sufficient value to guarantee electrical insulation or thermal conduction through the layer of glass fibres. The hot zones of the printed circuit receive a thin single-phase multilayer adhesive on the bottom face. A layer of copper is provided for thermal conduction whilst a layer of the "Kapton" type is provided for electrical insulation. Contact between the printed circuit on the one hand and the radiator on the other hand is provided solely in the hot zone by a thermal paste which is not electrically insulating and which fills the empty space between the radiator and the printed circuit. This paste makes it possible in particular to achieve a compensation for the geometric tolerances of the mechanical parts. The positioning of the printed circuit is provided by the centring studs on the radiator. Its holding and fixing are provided by the crushing of elastomeric pads fixed in the cover of the module. The cover makes it possible to execute a support for the printed circuit on the face of the housing. The electrical earthing is provided by tin balls which are crushed on a conductive part, provided for this purpose, of a printed circuit when the cover of the module is crimped on its body proper.
In a third prior art, the electrical insulation is also provided by a layer of air. However, the hot areas of the printed circuit benefit from thermal dissipation by means of a dual-component material as in the first prior art. The printed circuit is fixed to the radiator by a screw and the solution of electrical earthing is once again executed by means of tin balls.
All these three aforementioned prior arts therefore propose solutions with a high cost. Because of the dissociation of the heat conduction and electrical insulation functions in particular, there are many parts and also many assembly techniques. There are therefore no possible optimisations of the manufacturing process.
Contrary to this, the invention concerns an electronic assembly with a heat sink that comprises essentially a printed circuit and a housing that can serve for the thermal conduction and/or for the electrical insulation and which comprises a complex interface layer.
According to the present invention, the complex interface layer is interposed between at least one face of the printed circuit and one face of the housing, the complex interface layer extending over a major part of the face of the printed circuit and comprising an adhesive face for its fixing to the printed circuit on the one hand and an adhesive face for its fixing to the face of the housing on the other hand.
According to other aspects of the invention:
The invention also concerns a method of manufacturing an electronic module, such as a discharge lamp control module for a motor vehicle headlight, wherein the method includes steps comprising:
Finally, the invention concerns an electronic module, such as a discharge lamp control module for a motor vehicle headlight, wherein the electronic module comprises at least one assembly with a heat sink with a complex interface layer with two adhesive layers.
Other characteristics and advantages of the present invention will be understood more clearly and by means of the description and accompanying figures, amongst which:
The thermal dissipations produced by the flow of electrical current produce heating locally that is applied to the substrate and that it is very important to dissipate in order to avoid on the one hand deterioration in the operating performance of the electrical circuit formed by the connection pattern and the components and on the other hand deterioration in the mechanical qualities of the printed circuit proper, which might result in destruction of the service function provided by the assembly.
According to the invention, the printed circuit is intended to be mounted on a part serving in particular as a radiator and support, possibly also in the form of a housing serving as mechanical protection, whilst being interposed relative to this support by means of a complex layer 2, 5, 6, which serves both for heat conduction and electrical insulation of the printed circuit with the radiating support 3.
When the radiating support 3 also serves as mechanical protection, it is formed in the form of a housing and can have in particular a top cover 4 that is intended to be engaged on small columns such as the column 7 which, through drillings, such as the drilling 8, connect together the housing body 3 and its cover 4.
The connection of the printed circuit 1 with the complex interface layer 2, 5, 6 and with the housing body 3 is provided by means of a fixing element 9 that passes through the drillings, respectively 10 and 11, and the complex interface layer on the one hand and the printed circuit 1 on the other hand. According to the invention, the fixing element 9 is disposed in relationship with an area, rather disposed at the centre of the printed circuit 1. It may be multiplied, that is to say there may be several fixing elements like the fixing element 9.
Preferentially, the fixing element 9 consists of a stud fixed to a bottom face of the housing body 3. The fixing stud 9 can consist of a projection on the bottom of the housing body 3. Preferentially, the fixing stud 9 is shaped so as, when a deformation tool (not shown in
In a preferred embodiment, the complex interface layer 2, 5, 6 is a composite element that comprises at least, from top to bottom:
In the present invention, such a complex interface layer will indifferently be referred to as a "heat sink".
In one example of a method of manufacturing an electronic module, such as a discharge lamp control module for a motor vehicle headlight, the fitting of the electrical components and the placing of the electrical connection pattern are executed on the printed circuit 1, which is then provided with a drilling 11, preferably formed in a central area of the printed circuit 1. A conductive area or track 12 is produced on the top face of the printed circuit 1, which makes it possible to connect electrical earthing with the aforementioned connection pattern.
The complex interface layer is then produced so as to exhibit the structure described above, and is disposed through its aforementioned drilling 10 on the bottom of the housing, by making the fixing stud 9 pass through the drilling 10.
The printed circuit 1 is then in its turn presented above the opening in the casing body 3, so that the piercing 11 can surround the fixing stud 9.
In order to achieve a permanent connection, a deformation tool is then introduced through the opening visible at the top part of the housing 3. The top of the fixing stud 9 is then deformed over the earthing conductive area 12 on the printed circuit 1. The effect of this deformation of the upper part of the top of the fixing stud 9 is then to:
The latter thermal coupling effect is particularly ensured when the printed circuit 1 has a relative mechanical rigidity. This is because the deformation of the fixing stud 9 applies a permanent abutment force that itself causes a deformation tension in the whole of the printed circuit and applies it against the bottom of the housing body 3.
The adhesive used for producing the adhesive layers respectively 5 and 6 is preferentially implemented by an acrylic mass. The heat conduction layer 2 consists of a material that is also an electrical insulator that is preferentially a polyester. This is because there exists a class of polyester that has sufficiently low thermal resistance to fulfil the thermal dissipation function.
Preferentially, the complex interface layer 2, 5, 6 is sized so that, after the operation of deformation of the fixing stud 9, it projects beyond or is at least tangent to the edge of the printed circuit 1.
The top contact face of the housing bottom 9 with the contact layer 2, 5, 6 is preferentially flat, so that the contact can bear on the largest surface possible. However, in other applications, the shape of the top contact surface of the housing bottom 9 can take complex shapes, in particular with dishes, at the bottom of which there will be no contact. Such a conformation is not indicated in the drawing.
The complex interface layer comprises a first adhesive layer 25, an insulating layer 24 and a second adhesive layer 23. It is placed between the concave bottom 27 and a bottom face of the printed circuit 22. In this particular embodiment, a second arrangement is taken in accordance with the invention according to which the dimensions of the complex interface layer are greater than those of the printed circuit 22, so that the edge of the complex interface layer projects beyond or can be mounted on the thick edge of the printed circuit 22. The printed circuit 22 has according to the invention a central drilling which corresponds to the central drilling in the complex interface layer and an earthing track 21. The column serving as a fixing stud 20 can then be subjected to the crushing of a deformation tool 29 for the head to engage in the hollow part of the column 20 so that the top of the column 20 broadens in a broadened truncated cone 28 at the top which comes into abutment on the top of the face of the earthing track 21 and which deforms the assembly along the concave bottom 27. In this way there is provided:
a layer consisting of a heat-conducting and electrically insulating material 40;
An integrated power circuit 50 has two rows of terminals formed by the folding of a grille that is intended to come into contact with soldering pads on the electrical connection pattern deposited on the face of the printed circuit 56. There is shown a lug 52 for connecting the integrated power circuit 50 with a conductive pad 54 of the aforementioned electrical connection pattern. In order to improve the thermal transfer of the heat produced by the integrated power circuit 50, a hole is disposed in line with the housing of the integrated circuit 50 which passes entirely through the printed circuit 56, which has a metallisation in the form of a via. Such a via is cylindrical in shape overall, terminating at its top end in a top head 70 and at its bottom end in a bottom head 76. The top 70 and bottom 76 heads are joined to each other by a cylindrical body 72 that borders the thickness of the drilling. The result is two characteristics that are difficult to implement:
In order to remedy this drawback, the invention proposes to deposit a thermally degradable film or thin layer 68 which has a tendency, when the heat flux is applied to make the solder 66 melt, to obstruct the piercing 72 in the via so that the protective lacquer of the printed circuit constitutes a plug preventing the flow of molten solder. However, the lacquer used is volatilised on the surface of the printed circuit 56 so that the contact of the molten solder 66 with the surface of the printed circuit 56 is correct. In a variant, instead of using a solder 66, it is possible to use a conductive adhesive.
The assembly of this embodiment of the invention is formed in a closed housing comprising a cover 80 and a housing body comprising radical lateral flanks 82 and a horizontal bottom 90 concave in shape. The cover 80 can be connected to the body 82, 90 in a sealed fashion by any known securing means. The fixing means 92 passes through the complex interface layer 96 as well as the printed circuit 94, on which particular electrical components have not been depicted. It should be noted on this occasion that the printed circuit is generally provided with at least one connector which must remain accessible outside the housing through an opening therein, in general on a vertical edge 82, protected where necessary by a flap, not shown.
According to the invention, the cover 80 of the housing comprises at least one flexible arm 84 provided with a support part 86 which comes into close contact with a conductive pad 88 and belongs to the connection which is connected to the electrical earthing circuit on the printed circuit 94. In this case the cover and where applicable the housing body are produced by an electrically conductive material and the flexible arm has controlled flexibility that participates in the putting into abutment of the assembly composed on printed circuit 94 and the complex interface layer 96 on the concave bottom 90 of the housing.

Cargill's sucromalt work with USDA's Agricultural Research Service receives "Superior Technology Transfer Award"
13 February 2008
Contact: Pam Stauffer, 952-742-6080, firstname.lastname@example.com
Mike Danielson, Media Relations, 612-798-7214, email@example.com
MINNEAPOLIS – Scientists from the Agricultural Research Service (ARS) – the U.S. Department of Agriculture's (USDA) chief in-house scientific research agency – and Cargill received the ARS's "Superior Technology Transfer Award" on Feb. 12 at USDA headquarters in Washington, D.C.
The award recognizes ARS scientists and partners who develop new technology and transfer it to the marketplace.
Cargill and ARS worked together on the food and beverage ingredient, sucromalt, a natural sweetener that delivers the full energy of regular sugar but has a lower glycemic index. Because sucromalt provides a blunted glycemic response in the body, it can help people, including those with diabetes, keep blood sugar levels more balanced.
Prior to Cargill's involvement, ARS chemist, Gregory R. Cote, and ARS geneticist, Timothy Leathers, produced microorganism strains to over-produce an enzyme that rearranges sugar molecules.
Cargill licensed the ARS-patented research, and Cargill researchers Dr. Ting Carlson and Dr. Anton Woo began collaborating with the ARS team. Cargill went on to conduct internal research targeting specific sugar and digestion profiles necessary to turn this enzyme technology into a marketable product. The result is Cargill's low-glycemic (GI ~ 53) index sweetener, Xtend® sucromalt.
"Xtend® sucromalt provides food and beverage makers with a natural and slow release carbohydrate syrup," said Anne Mollerus, global product line manager, Cargill Health & Nutrition.

A Channeled Prophecy, Come to Pass
On November 17, 1989, I experienced something I'll never forget.
At the time, I was not a Spiritualist, although I believed in angels and the Holy Spirit. I'd been listening and transcribing what I understood as the "voice of God" for only two months.
Soon after I fell asleep that night, I was dramatically awakened by a spiritual presence. I felt impressed—no, strongly led—downstairs where the streetlight shone through the living room windows onto the hardwood floor. I opened my Bible there and definitely felt directed to the first chapter of the prophet Daniel.
It was as if an unseen angel stood over my shoulder and highlighted the words of the following passage:
To these four young men God gave knowledge and understanding of all kinds of literature and learning. And Daniel could understand visions and dreams of all kinds.
—Daniel 1:17 NIV
I say "as if," but I now believe this is exactly what happened: My guide woke me, led me downstairs, and pointed out this verse as a prophetic indicator of my purpose and destiny. I still remember the powerful presence that overshadowed me.
It has taken 25 years, but this message is finally coming to pass.
I have studied and practiced all kinds of writing. I've earned a BA in English, a master's in biblical studies, a master's in genre fiction writing, and I've completed the Morris Pratt Institute course in Spiritualism and mediumship. In 2007 I experienced a profound psychic awakening, and I am now applying my abilities to psychic and metaphysical pursuits.
If you are diligent to learn and practice the things you are uniquely interested in, one day they may pave the way for you to fulfill your destiny.

When the Central Pacific Railway, now part of the Southern Pacific system, was first built across the Middle West of the United States, the engineers found their path blocked by a large sheet of water—the Great Salt Lake in Utah. At that time, in 1868, engineering science was not sufficiently advanced for an attempt to bridge the lake ; so the rails were laid round the northern shore from Lucin to Ogden. Because of the mountainous character of the district this diversion round the lake entailed some heavy gradients and many sharp curves.
As time went on and traffic increased, it was determined, if possible, to dispense with the roundabout route and to connect by a bridge the town of Ogden, to the east of the lake, with Lucin, to the west. The distance saved would be forty-three miles. Moreover engine power would be saved, too, as the heavy gradients of the old route would be avoided.
To connect Ogden and Lucin it was necessary to build bridges over two arms of the lake. One of these bridges is the longest trestle bridge in the world, the total length of trestle being just over twelve miles.
Great Salt Lake, however, is not an ordinary inland lake. It has an area of 1,720 square miles, is seventy-five miles long and fifty-one miles wide. After the Dead Sea in Palestine it is the most salty body of water on the globe. It is liable to severe storms, and is extremely deep in places.
When it was decided to bridge the lake in 1902 the problem was something entirely new to the engineering world, and in the execution of the work the engineers encountered many difficulties and had many surprises. The crossing, known as the Lucin Cut-Off, had to be carried out in desert country, on a storm-tossed, dreary sheet of water, heavily impregnated with brine, far from the centres of civilization.
The engineers mapped out the path of the new track of the railway in an almost straight line from Ogden to the lake ; thence over the water to a tongue of land, known as the Promontory, which divides the lake into two parts ; thence directly on to the opposite shore, where the train, again on dry land, has a straight and easy run into Lucin. The distance between these two points is 102 miles by the new route, against 145 miles by the old route.
To carry out the plans of the engineers an army of 3,000 men braved the terrors of the desert and the storms of the lake. Before building began, however, many months were spent in collecting the necessary material and hauling it to the site. Mountains of rock were blasted for foundations on the muddy bottom of the lake, and forests of trees were felled to form the piles on which the trestles were to rest.
Not even the engineers could properly estimate beforehand the amount of rock required, nor were they able to do so even after the work had begun, for the lake seemed to have a giant maw, which, for a time, swallowed everything dropped into it.
In building the bridge the principle followed was to raise embankments as far into the water as safety allowed, and then to bridge the rest of the line on piles. In some places the depth of water was 27 feet, and piles 60 feet long were driven firmly into the mud. Gravel was obtained from pits some three miles from the lake, and relays of men were kept busy for many months working the steam shovels to a depth of 25 feet. Long trains carried their cargoes of sand to the point where the labourers were making the road bed in the water.
Seven towing vessels, several small boats and a stern-wheeled steamer specially built on the lake during the progress of the work were required in building the bridge. The work proceeded at the rate of one-and a-quarter miles of trestle a week. The longest stretch built in any one week, without interruption, was one mile, done during five days in daylight only. The rate of progress depended mostly on the supply of material, a matter made difficult by the distance it had to be transported.
Across the eastern arm of the lake an embankment supports the bridge for nearly its entire length, a gap 600 feet wide being left for the passage of the Bear River. Across the western arm of the lake is a stretch of trestle twelve miles long, with embankment approaches of four miles at either end. On the eastern arm a temporary structure was first thrown across, from which travel trains dumped their loads to make a permanent foundation.
"Pile stations," that is, little groups of piles driven firmly into the mud, were built in the deeper parts. On them pile-drivers were erected, which moved continuously forward on piles of their own driving. On this triple row of piles heavy caps of timber were placed with great "stringers," or heavy logs, on top of them, followed by the cross-ties and rails. Where possible, this temporary structure was filled in, the stringers were removed and the ties were laid firmly on the earth.
Great variations in the consistency of the lake bottom were met with during the driving of the piles for the trestles. At times the blow of the "monkey" did not sink the pile more than an inch or two ; at others a single impact would send it down as many feet. Again, a succession of blows might seem to be without effect, the pile having struck a hard stratum. Suddenly this would give way, and the pile would drop several feet. It- often happened that a pile, after having been driven in from 30 to 50 feet, would rise two or three feet between the blows of the driver.
In one place, about a mile from the eastern shore of the lake, a serious difficulty was encountered. The first pile, 28 feet long, was driven out of sight with a single blow. A second pile, also 28 feet long, set on top of the first, disappeared in a similar manner. At some time in the history of this great inland sea there had been here a colossal gulch, which has since been filled up with the slime and mud of the Bear River. For over six months tons and tons of solid rock were poured into this cavity, only to disappear out of sight and touch. The soft mud oozed from under this gigantic weight, allowing it to sink deeper and deeper until the engineers almost lost heart.
But perseverance conquered, and the "bottomless pit," as the cavity was rightly named, was duly filled in. For a whole month over 2,500 tons of material a day were tossed into this quagmire.
The track was laid from the east and from the west, and the workmen met in the middle of the lake. "Stringers" were brought to them on rafts and lifted to the bridge by means of large cranes. Many thousands of logs for piles were kept in huge booms on the shores of the lake and towed, when needed, to the place where the pile drivers were at work. All told, 38,256 trees, representing two square miles of forest, were cut down to make piles for the great trestle.
During the building the men were housed in little encampments on the shores of the lake as near as possible to the bridge itself. All provisions and fresh water had to be brought to the camps daily by train, over distances varying from 80 to 130 miles. In the summer the heat was trying, for the whole region is a vast desert ; in the winter there were sandstorms on land and gales on the lake.
The gales proved particularly trying. In one severe storm a number of men had a narrow escape. In the middle of the night some bunk-houses (accommodating twenty-five men), on pontoons moored some distance from the land, were swept away from their moorings and carried down the lake some forty miles.
Straight For Over 100 Miles
Happily, the occupants were rescued from their perilous position in the nick of time by a towing vessel and were taken safely to land. Gales were so common that material and machinery valued at over £20,000 were lost during the period of construction. For years after the engineers had completed their task the shores of the lake were lined with wreckage bearing testimony to the power of these storms, with the loss of boats, piledrivers and sections of trestle. The great bridge across the lake is a solid path, except for the 600-feet gap on the east and the twelve miles of trestles on the west. The depth of the water here is about 27 feet. The track is carried 19 feet above the surface of the lake. In some places this novel bridge is wide enough to allow for the passing of trains, and on one portion a double track has been laid.
In the lengthy crossing there are several stations, Midlake Station being right in the centre of the lake. Passengers alight here to view the vast expanse of water, and trips can be taken by boat to islands in the lake. These islands are the homes of thousands of pelicans, seagulls and other birds. The waters of the lake are too salty to support ordinary fish life. Railings, breast high, have been placed on either side of the permanent way, and refuges have been built for workmen and pedestrians.
The cut-off from Lucin to Ogden is dead straight and more nearly level than an ordinary floor. For thirty-six miles there is no grade. Nowhere is the grade over 1 in 240. This novel bridge took two and a half years to build and the cost was £1,600,000.

World Folklore 4
In some parts of the Western Isles, ammonites are known as crampstones and were once used medicinally. As Martin in his Description of the Western Island of Scotland (1703) remarked: 'These stones are by the Natives called Crampstones because as they say they cure the Cramp in Cows, by washing the part affected with water in which this stone has been steep'd for some Hours'.
Ammonites were also used for medicinal purposes in Germany, again to treat farm animals. Farmers from the Harz Mountains used 'a fossile shaped like a Ram's Horn call'd Drake (Dragon) - stone...for when the Cows lose their milk, or void Blood in stead of it, they put these Stones into a Milk-pail, and by that means expect a due quantity of Milk from these Cows again' (Georg Henning Behrens 1703 quoted in Nelson 1968).
In south-eastern Spain, depictions of ammonites have been found in Mesolithic rock art.
New Guinea
Oakley (1978) related that during a 1964 British Museum expedition to the Upper Sepik river, New Guinea, Bryan Cranstone found that members of the Tifalmin tribe using ammonites as charms to help with hunting and gardening.

Comments, questions and tips
Great recipe for liver, really tasty. Liver is still not my favourite thing to eat but try to eat regularly for the health benefits and this recipe makes it bearable to eat! Used normal chopped onions as thought that spring onions would break down too much and also potatoes took longer than 5 mins to crisp up. Served with lots of cabbage. Be careful not to overcook the liver - easily done!
Enjoyed by all the family, even by son who ended up asking for more of the liver off his dad's plate. I didn't have any crusty bits left in the frying pan so didn't bother with the sauce as husband likes most of his food quite dry. Would probably add a bit next time as feel would have kept the dish together better. Spring onions fell apart as well so will use onion wedges next time. Thoroughly recommend trying this - I bought the liver from a local butcher and it was so tender.
This was lovely! Whole family ate and enjoyed it and said they would definitely have it again. I used a chopped red onion instead of the spring onion and added chestnut mushrooms. I used creme fraiche instead of sour cream and mixed it in with the stock which I then drizzled over the top. Very nice indeed.

I do think Apple will use A5 or duo core. Sure, current iPad, runs well. Developers are not making a demanding apps, because they are to making profit. A5 will give developers a chance to make more ambitious apps. Duo core apps that used to run on macbook pros would be awesome. If the iPad were to evolve into a productive mobile computer, it needs to become more powerful. That's why you see Tegra 3 coming out later this year. Hardware advances too fast. Apple wants to make iPad a well balance device between power and battery life. So, components need to run on lower energy. Also, Apple is facing stronger competitors than they did with iPod, iPhone. So, update progressions need to be more robust. Apple sold millions of idevices with retina display. Apple buys in huge bulk. Surely, retina display cannot be expensive for the iPad. Plus, low megapixel cameras seem to be a clue for retina display. Maybe. I would say no on retina display, if it did not existed before today. However, Apple has implemented them on two idevices, so far.

The arms and legs are 7/8" hardwood dowels. They are pinned and wrapped with paper mache strips of grocery bags.
Step 3: Filling the frame
Shape the body, head, arms, hands, and feet by crumpling up newspaper and taping it to the skeleton. You can round out things with more tape. More tape is always the answer!
Add elements like hats and collars with heavy posterboard paper. Check eye positions with colored paper cutouts.
Make it pretty firm so it will keep it's shape when paper mache'ing in the next step.
Amazing, I presented this idea and this is the result... thanks so much¡¡
Awesome! Thanks for sharing, the elves are busy all over the world.
For the joints, I drilled through both pieces with a drill bit that just snugly fit a length dowel. Then glued all around the joint and dowel held at the desired angle. After drying, trim any dowel ends sticking out and wrap with paper mache' to stiffen. For dowel arms and legs going into 2x4s, just a tight fit and outdoor wood glue.
Yes the head, feet, etc. are free form - bunching newspaper and taping it down. Lots and lots of masking tape helps keep everything in place.
I want to make some of these but spooky style for Haloween! This tutorial is great, thank you so much for it!
What a creative mind.
The clothing was done with poster board just like the hat and collar in the previous picture. Paper mache with newsprint then brown paper. It can get a bit soggy but everything works fine if you do it in sections and let it dry between coats.
Poderia me dizer que carro é esse laranja na garagem?,estou muito curioso pra saber
P.S. Marine varnish after you've done all your painting on papier mache is supposed to work well outdoors.

SPSU eCitizenship Initiative
For the past three years, we have pursued increased community engagement at SPSU through use of electronic tools such as social media. Initially, we started a grand and all-encompassing project that was centrally managed; it required students to use traditional approaches to engage with the university thereby making them come to where we on the faculty and administration are; it failed by imploding of its own mass. In reviewing the failure, we noticed that many small efforts were thriving. Each of these efforts was initiated and fostered locally and with no or minimal resource investment; each of them relied significantly on electronic media, such as email and discussion boards, thereby allowing us on the faculty and administration to meet students where they were through social media. Seeing that, we have changed our approach to focus on facilitating many local and smaller projects of engagement, which are built on an infrastructure of technology, such as social media. These projects originate at all levels and segments of the university, especially from students. This experience has positively influenced the electronic citizenship of our campus.

It is the duty of our school board to protect even the smallest minority group in our public schools. Its obviously a divisive issue, but that doesn't really matter much here. The article says multiple tribes are in favor of the ban, and multiple are against it. Really, if even one tiny tribe of a few people felt that their kids were unsafe/stereotyped/racially targeted/hurt by the use of their heritage as a mascot, the right course of action is to stop use of the mascot.
It doesn't matter if 100,000 people say its ok - they aren't the ones hurt by the issue. The school board needs to step up and protect those that can't protect themselves, and that is exactly what they did.
Right decision.
I like having Paul Allen as an owner. He is rich, he has love for the city and the fans, and he has love for the game of basketball. That is just about all you can ask for in an owner.
That said . . . WTF is he doing? This team is being run into the ground!!!! Mr. Allen, please stop meddling in basketball issues. Hire a GM and let him be a GM. Let the GM hire the coach. Let the GM draft and trade and sign players. Keep your Vulcans out of the draft room and practice facility. Just sign the checks and cheer in the front row. The whole team will be better for it.
If Mr. Allen can't keep fingers out of the cake batter, we'll never have cake. (Cake is a metaphor for championship here). And if he can't do that, it doesn't matter how rich he is, or how big a fan he is, we'd be better off with a different owner. Simple as that.
We also don't have the ability to draft or trade players, hire coaches, or hire a GM. This is a hypothetical exercise.
The issue of whether you've HONORED the tribe is not yours to decide. Just saying "we are honoring you" doesn't make it true. Why is that a hard concept to grasp? If honor was the school's intent, then it was a noble one. But regardless of intention, it clearly was not an "honor" to have your heritage reduced to a mascot.
Now if "honor" is still the goal, the honorable thing to do is calmly and apologetically change the mascot. Not raise a stink over the decision and whine and moan and protest. Take the high road, Roseburg. Thats what you were trying to do all along, right?
Hate speech is not a protected right, and racism definitely falls under that category. But regardless, even if you CAN have a Native American mascot at a public school . . . . WHY? Why would you insist on a logo or name that offends other Oregonians, even ones that probably go to the school.
No has mentioned WHY we need to have Native American mascots for our schools. All I'm reading is why its wrong to take them away, and that (right or wrong) isn't the issue.
Or the Oregon School Board could do their job and make decisions for Oregon schools.
Petitions with hundreds of thousands of signatures have been circulated and sent to the NCAA and the federal government. Protest marches with thousands of participants have been held. You don't get to decide what other people should or should not be offended by.
I am fully aware that this is a non-issue to many. Many, many people think "what is the big deal?" I personally am not affected or offended by Chief Wahoo or the Scappoose High Whatevers. But at the same time I'm not affected or offended by a Swastika, the N-word, or the phrase "Thats gay". I am, however, respectful enough of my friends and neighbors to eliminate those hateful words from my vocabulary. I know those things are incredibly offensive to some, so why would I ever use them. Its mean. Its cruel. Its unnecessary. Regardless of my own personal feelings, its the right thing to do.
Whether you think it is warranted or not, the fact remains that people are offended and hurt by having their heritage marginalized, reduced to a stereotype, and slapped on a t-shirt or a football helmet. So why would we do that? ESPECIALLY in our public schools! The Washington Redskins are one thing - a private company who can do what they want (although they'll never earn my money or fandom). But our PUBLIC SCHOOL system needs to be a safe haven for everyone of all backgrounds and beliefs, and Native American mascots do not help us achieve that.
Watch the documentary "In Whose Honor" (the whole thing can be found on YouTube), and then tell me that Native American mascots are not offensive to many people.
I don't get it. Why? What would that accomplish? How does going with the Fighting Whities, and then being told to change that as well, make a point? And what point would that be anyway?
Its such a childish response, I would hope none of our principals think that way. What does that action teach our kids?
And are you mad had changing mascots? Or being told you HAVE to change your mascot?
I understand people feeling upset at this decision. It does seem like a sweeping, broad stroke approach to a problem that could be addressed on a case by case basis. But that is how these matters are addressed in a bureaucracy. People can't complain about an all-encompassing ban and simultaneously complain about the time and money spent coming to this decision. Case by case reviews would be immensely more expensive.
The fact remains that this was the right decision. Native American mascots ARE offensive to many (even if you aren't personally offended, native american or not) and they do have a real, tangible effect on our students. Educational institutions are supposed to be progressive leaders in tolerance, not lagging behind the rest of society that ceased use of this marginalizing caricature imagery long ago (pro sports notwithstanding).
The only way that this decision could have been prevented would have been if the schools themselves preempted the ban by volunteering the change a long time ago. I'm disappointed in our principals, teachers, and administrators for not realizing long ago that this needed to be done.
I'm proud of our school board for making this decision, but I'd have been much more proud if they said "We have no need to ban Indian mascots, because our schools have already made the decision to distance themselves from such racism on their own."
People on here saying "I hope my school refuses to change!" are completely missing the point.
I don't think anyone is under that impression. Most rational sports fans, or people in general, are aware that marijuana use is rampant in our country, especially among the college demographic.
Its kind of funny that ESPN chose Oregon to use as a background for their article, when they could have picked any one of a million schools. Should I be proud of my alma mater? That was my initial reaction.
It kinda sucks though. The Ducks have enough stuff to deal with right now, you couldn't pick on LSU? Texas? The Huskies?
There are thousands of jobs that don't drug test at all. And the majority will only do a test if it seems like drugs are having a negative effect on performance. I don't think weed is having a major effect on performance here . . . 3 time defending Pac-12 champs.
The ONLY problem here is that it is against the rules. And the ONLY reason it is against the rules is because it is illegal. And there really isn't a good reason for it to be illegal. When a law is unjust, it is our duty as citizens to protest it. This is a battle that needs to be fought. Marijuana should NOT be illegal.
Its just realllllly hard to be motivated enough to effect change when you're high. Trust me. Its no wonder the legalization of marijuana is taking so loooooong. We'll get there eventually though. As soon as we get off the couch.
All I'm saying is that the consequences he is dealing with and the actions that led to those consequences is out of whack. Should you or I commit the same "crimes" we would be out about a grand and right back to our normal lives as if nothing happened.
He, obviously, lost a lot more. The issue I have with that is that he is a 20 year old college kid. People want to play the "you're in the public eye, you represent the university, you know the stakes" card. Blah blah blah. Its true, yes, he is a public figure. But at the same time its a reflection of the way we treat our college athletes. In Oregon its a bigger deal to be a Duck than it is to be a Seahawk, a Cowboy, a Steeler, etc. But those are grown men. Cliff is not a grown man. Cliff is a college kid. Yet, for some reason, expectations are the same.
I don't like that.
I'm not trying to rationalize his behavior. I can tell you without a shadow of a doubt that if I were in his shoes there is no way in hell I'd come within 500 yards of a joint. Why he did what he did, I dunno. He is clearly not the brightest kid on the team. No doubt.
I just look at what the kid has lost, and what he did to lose it, and I don't see a fair correlation. Weed, speeding, driving with a suspended license, and not wearing a seat belt. In court, in the eyes of the law, thats about a $1000 in fines and maybe some sort of diversion program. That is it. Cliff has lost a chance at MILLIONS of dollars, had his named smeared all over television and the internet, lost his scholarship and shot an a college degree, and essentially been run out of town. And for what? He didn't hurt a soul. Didn't steal anything, fight anyone, vandalize anything. He got high and drove fast (not at the same time).
I won't go as far as to call him the victim - his actions are his own and no one else's. But the outcome of this story has as much to do with the laundry list of violations his Duck teammates have, and media pressure to "clean up the program", and the program being under a bigger spotlight than ever before, and Willie Lyles, and Masoli, etc. . . . . . . than it has to do with Cliff breaking the rules.
He should have done better. But his punishment is pretty much a 10 response to a 3 stimulus. If I had to guess, very few of the posters here would stand by their hard line disciplinarian stance if this were their own kid or student or player. Its easy to sit up on your high horse when you are judging others who you only know as a #13 jersey on the tv. Just ask John Canzano.
You clearly didn't read anything I wrote. I didn't say any of that stuff. I didn't mention race, or people trying to keep weed illegal, or people making an example out of him. Those are other people's words you are putting in my mouth. I didn't say he got in trouble BECAUSE of his "petty" actions, but that the actions he is in trouble for really ARE "petty". I didn't try to explain away anything he did.
I said the price he is paying for his "crimes" is way higher than anyone else would have to pay, simply because he is a football player living in the public eye.
He broke Chip's rules and is paying the consequences. I get that. I don't have a problem with that. Rules are rules and he must have known that if he broke them again he'd be gone. However, that doesn't change the fact the price he is paying for his actions is far beyond what any non-athlete U of O student would ever have to pay for the same crimes.
Everything he did has been blown so far out of proportion because he is a famous athlete playing for a big time college program. And also because he has had multiple incidents (NONE of which are all that serious anyway). And seeing as how he is still a 20 year old kid with a bright future, I don't think we should all be so quick to crucify him.
Oh I get your point. Its an easy point to make, and you and a million other commenters have made it loud and clear. And as an Oregon fan, I couldn't be more proud of Chip's record of discipline. He continues to make the right choices despite idiotic challenges and criticism from the "media".
My point was that his violations (speeding, smoking weed, not wearing a seat belt, and driving with a suspended license) are all pretty petty violations. Scratch that, extremely petty. You can argue that going 118 is very dangerous - ok - but at 4 am on I-5 between Corvallis and Eugene, its really not a big deal.
It sucks, and I feel bad for the kid. He isn't getting booted for any of the things he did, he is getting booted for continuing to do them. Sure, he should have learned, he should have made better decisions, but still . . . . I have trouble seeing what the big deal is. He's 20. He didn't hurt anyone in any way. I could have had the exact same rap sheet in college, but I just didn't get caught. And if I did . . . . I wouldn't be in the news, on ESPN, or kicked off of any team or out of any club that I was in. No one cares about speeding or smoking weed in Eugene. But the media cares if you play football.
Harris' problem - really - is that he is a football player. And as a football player, he has no room to be a college student or make college student mistakes. And that is unfortunate. The microscope he lives in is going to cost him his career. And the fact that I DIDN'T live in a microscope in college allowed me to pursue mine. Not fair to Cliff, but c'est la vie.
Its not what he did, its that he got caught. Yes, he had multiple chances and should have kept his nose clean after the first strike. But I can't help but feel bad for the guy. He's 20, he has bonehead friends, he is in college. Cut him some slack. He didn't do anything violent, destructive, or malicious.
I went to Oregon. I drank alcohol the day I stepped on campus (at 18), smoked weed all through school, partied hard, drove fast, and did some dumb stuff. And because I wasn't an athlete, no one cared. I also got good grades, graduated with a good degree, and am doing just fine. I still party and smoke weed, just not nearly as often as I did in Eugene.
I believe that professional athletes should be held to a "higher standard", but college students are college students and should be treated as such, whether they play sports or not. Kick him out off the team if his grades drop or he cuts class, not for speeding or smoking weed.
Clock management was fine, Oregon was moving the ball well and was in position to win. Then they didn't even try to win. That isn't normal Oregon football. It was a weird final 20 seconds. I guess Chip is the guy to blame (although that feels wrong), but dang. Another 30 seconds of game time and Oregon would have won, no doubt in my mind.
But still . . . . feels like we coulda won with what time we did have.
Downtown Austin, TX, baby! Go Ducks!
You really don't need a stronger arm than Dixon. Dixon through plenty of 30, 40 yard bombs in his career. And more often than not he would drop them in the lap of a receiver in stride. That was a thing of beauty. Bennett needs Dixon's accuracy. If you can throw a 40 yard pass into a the lap of a receiver going full speed, you'll be just fine. You don't need to throw darts or hit the endzone from midfield.
If Oregon has any chance at the N.C. it is going to come from beating an undefeated Stanford team and LSU winning out. You can't have a better one loss than the undefeated #1 team in the country at a neutral site on week one (well I guess maybe if it was a true road game, but whatever).
Not saying they'll make it, but if they do, that is how it will happen. So that is what I'm rooting for.
And also, NO WAY would I ever root for USC. What kind of question is that? I actually really like having Stanford at the top of the conference. If the Ducks don't win it, the Cardinal is the obvious 2nd choice for me.

This was painted in the 1990s by a group of sign painters to honor an old sign painter. I think that's him pictured there. Ben Schonman is one painter I know was involved in this project.

Wreaths Across America ceremony held at Northern Maine Veterans Memorial Cemetery
This time of year is one when families come together and celebrate the holiday season. But at many homes there's an empty seat for someone who is serving overseas or for someone who has passed away while doing so. That's why on December 14th, a national " Wreaths Across America" ceremony is held at Veterans Cemeteries across the country to honor Veterans that have passed away and those that are still alive today. News Source 8's Angela Christoforos has the story…
One by one 7 holiday wreaths were laid at the Northern Maine Veterans Memorial Cemetery, In remembrance of close to 600 Veterans that are buried there.
State Adjutant of Maine Veterans of Foreign Wars Andre Dumas said, "This is to honor them for what they have done and their service to the country."
Each wreath represents each one of the armed forces. From the Navy, to the Army, Airforce, Marine Corps, Coast Guard, Merchant Marines, and POW MIAs. Wreaths Across America is recognized nationally. Over 800 locations throughout the country held services like the one held in Caribou.
State Office Representative for Senator Susan Collins Phil Bosse said, "Wreaths Across America was started by a family that makes wreaths in Washington County and it started as a small effort and now there's over 300,000 wreaths that are put up in Veterans Cemeteries all over the country."
This annual tribute pays respect to those who made the ultimate sacrifice for our country.
"Holidays especially you think about the families that have loved ones that are in Afghanistan, Iraq, and all over the world that aren't home with their families," said Bosse.
Over 300,000 wreaths were put up in Veterans Cemeteries across the country on Saturday. Maine has per capita the most Veterans of any state in the country.

I was lured in because I have enjoyed watching Julian Fellowes' Downton Abbey on PBS (no commercials). I hung in on last night's (Saturday) ABC miniseries for all its miserable length --- 50% story, 50% commercials. I won't be watching the final segment tonight (Sunday). Reminded again why I love public television.

GPS Line has Montreal going in the right direction
Posted By Corey Krakower On Mar 10 2010 @ 10:28 am In Montreal Canadiens | 2 Comments
In an era of 4 lines, healthy scratches and many injuries; keeping one line together for an extended period of time doesn't happen as often as it used to. This year's edition of the Montreal Canadiens is a bit of an exception. For a large part of the first half of the year, Tomas Plekanec centered Mike Cammlleri and Andrei Kostitsyn to form Montreal's top line and one that was generating a lot of buzz around the league. With Cammalleri injured, a new line has stepped up and is now wreaking some havoc on their opponents. Brian Gionta, Benoit Pouliot and Scott Gomez have come together to form the GPS line; a trio composed of three key elements (speed, size and vision) that are greatly contributing to the tremendous chemistry.
Brian Gionta was out for an extended period of time with an injury so finding the right combination of players for him to play with wasn't something that could have happened overnight. Gionta scores a lot of goals in part because of his good shot, but his game is all about speed. His acceleration forces defenders to respect his ability to beat them, resulting in more time and space to operate. His quickness also allows him to find open spots and create passing lanes in the offensive zone. Watch how often he can get away from a D and set himself up for a scoring chance.
Benoit Pouliot was a failed experiment in Minnesota and was shipped to Montreal in exchange for Guillaume Latendresse (don't get me started!). Part of the problem was that the Wild tried to cultivate him as a center, although he did get some minutes at LW, but it is obvious watching Pouliot that while his skating is good relative to his size, he doesn't have a strong enough stride to be all over the ice like a center needs to be. Moving him to the wing has allowed him to use his size to his advantage. He forechecks hard, he retrieves loose pucks, he forces turnovers and he goes to the net. By doing so, the lack of size in Gionta and Gomez is not exposed; allowing them more time and space to make plays.
Scott Gomez had a rough start to the season. The expectations that come from earning $7 million in a cap era can do that to you. He had an odd propensity to turn over the puck quite often, and was consequently not putting up many points. He has been much better since the return of Gionta, in part because they played together for so long in New Jersey that they are comfortable with each other. You can knock Gomez for his turnovers and for his lack of scoring output, but you can't knock his vision. Scott Gomez has exceptional hockey sense that allows him to mentally slow down the game and be consistently on the mark with his passes. When Gomez is on his game and not being hampered by too many giveaways, his puck possession style enables him to protect the puck for an extended period of time (in hockey that means 4-5 seconds) which gives his linemates more space to get opened and more time to find that scoring area.
The term "time and space" was used 3 different times, because that's what hockey is all about. The speed of the game is so fast that for a line to be successful, they all need one thing in common, which is the ability to create both. Not only is the name GPS appropriate because it is an acronym of their names, it is also a reference to their ability to navigate the offensive zone and find each other. Gomez has 2 Gs and 6 As in his last 4 games; Gionta has 3 Gs and 2 As and Pouliot has 2 Gs and 2 As. The encouraging thing is that one of Montreal's problem in recent years has been the lack of secondary scoring. If this line can continue to roll and Mike Cammalleri can rediscover chemistry with Plekanec and Andrei Kostitsyn (nickname = the PAC Men?) upon his return from injury, the Habs might not be such an easy opponent in the playoffs.
