The English media's obsession in Jose Mourinho has led them to claim that the Portuguese manager will surely be returning to the English Premier League next season.
What bothers me in this assumption is that it is tabloid talk that is premised on nothing but personal wishes, or perhaps national illusions. Oh, he's already packed his bags?
The ever-so notorious Sun actually "confirms" that Chelsea, along with Tottenham Hotspur, Manchester United, Manchester City and Liverpool, are ready to pounce at the chance to bring in Mourinho.
I think there's a better chance to see Alex Ferguson managing a Nigerian club than Mourinho moving to White Hart Lane.
I will be illustrating exactly why Mourinho is set to remain at Real Madrid for at least a year more through an article which will be split into three parts, each focusing on one cause.
The first motive that will keep Mourinho in Madrid is obvious; the man who tags himself the "special one" is too proud to exit a top-flight job empty-handed. While at Chelsea, Mourinho had won two Premier League titles, an FA Cup and a League Cup before he was shown the door.
Similarly, he left Internazionale only after winning the Champions League. He actually said, after his first year at Inter in which he won the Serie A, that he was yet to make a "highlight" or leave his mark in Italian football. The man thrives for perfection. He uses the media to create an uncontested reputation for himself, an ideal image of a leader.
He can never leave a job without saving his fingerprints on a club's trophy cupboard. Yes, he has been able to use the media for his quest to magnify his coaching attributes. But this image that he built was always premised on consecutive, genuine achievements.
Just like when he left Chelsea, he can leave Real Madrid by mutual agreement and blame behind-the-scenes issues for the club's failure.
The striking difference between his Chelsea exit and leaving Real now, though, is that Mourinho had won over the fans during his Blues tenure. He had won trophies and had been raised on the shoulders of the Chelsea fans.
At Real, however, his team has—to date—been belittled by Barcelona on all fronts. Though Real's hopes are tied to a sudden and unexpected slip in Barca's form, perhaps as an effect of a number of injuries to key players, there is hope of future success until the Portuguese.
Mourinho will simply not quit on a low note. He will wait until he finds some kind of a magical formula to beat arguably the best team in modern football.
And there's no reason why he cannot plan and make the coups he wants. He has the money, the reputation and the tactics to get the players he wants and mold them into a harmonious and winning group.
Before he does that, I doubt that he will be moving back to England.

Clean Energy Fellow Department of Energy Resources
Merrimack Valley Chamber of Commerce President Joe Bevilacqua is excited about what energy efficiency can do for industry and commerce in his region. He has made it the Chamber's mission to help businesses understand that there is opportunity out there if you know how to look for it.
The Chamber tapped one of its Lawrence neighbors – veteran-founded clean energy company Nexamp, Inc. – to help locate that opportunity. Joe knows Nexamp and trusts their work, and now he's leveraging that trust into the Clean Energy Partnership – one of the most exciting initiatives in the Department of Energy Resources' High Performance Buildings Program.
Using $500,000 in stimulus money, Joe and the Chamber will search their membership for commercial and industrial sector members that meet a diverse range of profiles; large manufacturing plants, small operations, mid-size offices, property management businesses, retail stores, etc. Nexamp will then provide each business with a Clean Energy Road Map, proprietary software that will help analyze a particular building's energy use. Then Nexamp will determine what can be done to reduce costs, and how fast the business will recoup the investment needed to lower their consumption. Finally, Nexamp will provide turn-key energy services and project management to these companies as they move through whatever retrofit they opt to implement.
The partnership is critical in a number of different ways – including the networks it is creating. In the business world, networking is everything – businesses listen to each other and to those that advocate on their behalf. Case in point: as the Chamber steers businesses towards Nexamp, and those businesses cut their costs, they'll act as energy efficiency case studies for other businesses – multiplying the impact of the Clean Energy Partnership many times over. The jobs and energy savings that could be created by this partnership is potentially huge. We'll keep you updated on the Chamber's progress, but, in the meantime, check out their website.

Please explain IF you see these two are in the same catagory. If you do... then i suggest you go out and get educated about this. You are showing yourself for being an ignorant fool!!
Cynical Realist
I'll jump on this one. Both have an unnatural urge to commit sex acts outside the norm of society. It doesn't matter if they were born with the urge or acquired it, what matters is if they actually act upon it. Most people have urges to do wrongful things day in and day out, it comes down to choice. It is when they act upon it or try to justify the urge that is really bad.
I don't doubt some homosexuals have an inborn desire for someone of the same sex but when they act upon it, it is harmful to society as a whole. Look around and tell me society hasn't suffered from being told to accept the homosexual lifestyle as OK. It is the same as society being told to accept that sleeping around with multiple people is OK, it has hurt society and the people involved - disease, emotional distress, a breakdown of morals, and the list goes on.

Posted October 17, 2012 on AP on Fox
The Arizona Cardinals' suspect pass protection was partially responsible for the loss of their starting quarterback last week. The injury to Kevin Kolb gives John Skelton another shot at QB. Skelton takes over for the struggling Cardinals on Sunday when they visit the Minnesota Vikings, who are looking to open 4-0 at home. Kolb, who assumed Arizona's starting quarterback position in Week 1 when Skelton suffered a sprained ankle, injured his ribs while being sacked in last Sunday's 19-16 overtime loss to Buffalo. The Cardinals, losers of two in a row following a surprising 4-0 start, said Kolb will be out for "an unspecified period of time." It might have been only a matter of time until Kolb suffered an injury, considering the beating he had been taking. The Cardinals have allowed a league-worst 28 sacks, with 22 of them coming in the last three games. Skelton is now faced with the difficult challenge of trying to stay upright against a Minnesota team that enters Week 7 ranked ...

Fantastic place to stay for preparation for the BC MTB race. They have been more than accommodating for those with bikes allowing us to bring our expensive bikes into our rooms without any drama - even provide cleaning opportunities with both bike and muddy clothes.
Churchill's bar is also a great place to wind down as are the pool and spa.
Definitely would stay again if biking here again.

More Louis V
Lyric Meaning
Until 2013, Kanye was known to be a very big fan of Louis Vuitton, modeling for the brand several times and even giving himself a self-proclaimed title, The Louis Vuitton Don.
Kanye recently spoke out on no longer supporting French design house Louis Vuitton: "If I had the opportunity to design for Louis Vuitton now I wouldn't because the prices are just too extreme and I don't want use my message to have like kids save that much to be apart of what the ideas are."
This new stance circles back to his statement here that buying jewelry and more Louis V is in fact stupid and something his mother didn't condone.

In honor of his latest film, Focus, please join us as we run down the 10 best Will Smith performances of his career so far.
Margot Robbie was asked specifically about the tone of the material, as that can go a long way toward preparing an audience for the end result. Specifically, Robbie was asked if Suicide Squad would resemble Christopher Nolans somber, serious Batman trilogy, or Joss Whedons The Avengers.
Will Smith is one busy boy. Not only is he currently hard at work promoting his latest film Focus, but hes also on the cusp of starting production on Suicide Squad, and now hes signed up for Bounty over at Paramount too.
After Earth was a disaster of cataclysmic proportions, and Will Smith knows it. Though, recently he had some choice words to say about the film that he calls the most painful failure in my career.
Throughout his career as a movie star, Will Smith has always been identifiable as the hero. And this point in his career, however, Smith has apparently started thinking a bit more about the ranges of morality - and it's because of this personal interest that he decided to join the upcoming DC Comics film Suicide Squad.
Suicide Squad is fast becoming one of the most highly-anticipated movies of 2016, but thus far, with only tidbits of information released at a time (mostly only rumors or cast-related), Warner Bros. has yet to reveal much in terms of plot. But things are starting to become a bit clearer now with David Ayer's revelation that his upcoming Supervillain flick will specifically pull from The New 52 Suicide Squad Vol. 4, #1 Kicked in the Teeth.
Though it was big news last week when it was revealed that Tom Hardy will no longer star in David Ayer's Suicide Squad, the truth is that the film still has a pretty stellar, stacked ensemble. But who among them will actually be the true stars of the show?
2014 was a middling year for movies. However, for the 10 stars we're highlighting in this list, it was absolutely dismal. Find out who's hoping for a happy new year after the jump.
The Wall Street Journal shares a few details, even though nothing is set in stone. They say that Men In Black stars Will Smith and Tommy Lee Jones would not be included in the movie, at least in prominent roles. They also dangle the tease that Jump Street geniuses Phil Lord and Chris Miller would produce this mash up event, and may direct it.
Star Wars has generated a ton of whispers, rumors and arguments over the past few, but oddly, Im not sure any film has produced a wider range of strange articles than Suicide Squad. The villain team-up was first announced back in September, and in the time since, it has spit out a steady stream of names.
Independence Day 2 is happening! And we even have a release date for the blockbuster sequel. Can you guess what holiday it is being released on?
Though Zack Snyders Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice has quite the packed cast featuring the likes of Ben Affleck, Henry Cavill, Amy Adams, Jeremy Irons, and more its David Ayers Suicide Squad that could wind up challenging it as the most star-studded superhero movie of 2016.
The upcoming DC Comics movie Suicide Squad is kind of a strange inclusion to the company's slate when you consider the other films that were announced around it. After all, it's the only one that puts the spotlight on villains instead of heroes, and is the only "group" movie outside of the twin Justice League projects.
Theres two kinds of people in this world. Theres hammers. And theres nails. You decide which one you want to be. Thats the advice dished out in the sleek, sexy first trailer for Will Smiths Focus.
It turns out that Warner Bros has Apple to thank for the fact that their long-touted addition to the I Am Legend franchise has now been greenlit - at least in a vague indirect way. That's because Gary Graham, who has written the screenplay for the upcoming last-man-on-earth reboot, was working at one of the companys store when he wrote and then uploaded his script to the Black List website, probably using one of those very same Apple products.
Baldwin will be playing the head of the CIA, who Variety claims is in charge of overseeing Ethan Hunt's (Tom Cruise) IMF operations from on-high. No plot details are being shared for the upcoming blockbuster, but Baldwin's just too good to float through a role as a higher-up. This role has traitor/mole written all over it.
Once upon a time, Hollywood was filled with actors and actresses who could slap their names on a movie poster and almost guarantee success. That star power has lessened over the years. We can all agree on that. Exactly how much is still a matter of fierce debate, but if one hot and trendy new algorithm can be relied upon, the answer is almost none at all.
Smith would play Doctor Bennett Omalu, a forensic neuropathologist who became the first person to discover Chronic Traumatic Encephalopathy in a football player's brain. CTE, as it's known, is a degenerative disease caused by severe trauma to the head that can only be discovered after death.
Universal intends to march ahead with a new leading man to team with Noomi Rapace, with a fourth quarter 2015 or first quarter 2016 release date planned. The little known Onah is also still in place, though Smith's departure leaves this film at a bit of a standstill. You don't really make something this derivative unless you have a big star, which despite some recent disappointments, Smith still is.
Will Smith and Noomi Rapace have officially signed on to co-star in Brilliance, which is being helmed by Nigerian director Julius Onah. Legendary Pictures is producing the thriller based on the novel from Marcus Sakey's emerging trilogy.

Why the inspection is to be done from inside as well as outside of the house?
I was sure the peony's that were heavy with buds could not withstand the three days of icy, high winds that tossed them back and forth.My 91-year-old aunt, who is the West Tennessee queen of cut flowers for her small community, assured me they would mature into blossoms.Exactly Pre-Purchase Inspection one month from the late freeze, came another two days of high winds just as the tender second round of leaves were beginning to unfurl.The winds brought down the last of the dead leaves, making the yard look a lot like fall in May.
Also, many of the new leaves lay among the dead ones shredded again.Now in June, with summer knocking at the door louder and louder, the mountain top was graced with lush peony blooms.The songbirds stayed the course of the erratic spring winds and temperatures and are starting on second clutches of babies to greet summer.Squirrels are breeding to produce their second nest of babies for the season.The closer something gets to a nest, the quieter they become.
Other birds are not as secretive, proclaiming their territory to whomever can hear.Sometimes tabby gets its hair pulled, but those are truly close encounters.If the attacking are harmed, are left in the nest to starve.Black bears are showing up in backyards looking for well-stocked birdfeeders.From the time they rouse in the spring until the berries are mature is about eight weeks.
It takes a lot of early vegetation to fill a 250 to 400 pound bear to his satiated capacity.The late freeze probably damaged the acorn crop for the fall, so it will be bears in the backyards until early winter.Toleration and common sense are the keys to living in bear territory sanely and safely.When a bear takes your bird feeder, it is because it is there and because he is hungry.

What causes the betterment of the process of home inspection?
These statements establish the architectural heritage of the village and identify how development, if any, needs to be handled. House prices are also a major problem in rural areas, and there have been growing problems with people moving away from villages to find employment or housing elsewhere. The danger of this is that villagers become increasingly deserted during the week as people buy second homes. To redress this, the council has worked closely with Registered Social Landlords to provide 'local needs housing. The council remains committed to ensuring that development throughout the Borough is in keeping with the area's heritage.
The council has continued to promote, however, a great deal of innovation in development too. This has meant encouraging increased energy efficiency and providing ways of getting around which do not depend exclusively on the private car. A key factor in the plans for growth is the creation of an attractive town centre which people choose to visit.
Key work already begun includes re-development of land on Victoria Road to provide a range of housing, hotels and conference facilities and negotiations to develop a new department store as part of the County Square shopping mall. These projects form part of a wider vision for the town which also includes finding ways to stop the ring road acting as a constraint on the town. Over the next year, Thermal Imaging Inspection the council and its partners will complete and publish their vision for the town centre and begin to introduce changes that make Ashford a more prosperous town for all.
To deliver the vision of Ashford's Future, it is important for the council, its partners and the community to know when key projects and schemes will happen. Producing a Master Plan means we can have a focus for our own efforts and those of our partners in ensuring a successful outcome for the town. The council, together with its partners, has already prepared and submitted bids to the Government for nearly £70 million. This money will be used to begin to set the foundations for growth including acquiring a number of sites necessary for growth. The council's key focus remains ensuring that housing growth is matched by growth in employment and the necessary infrastructure to ensure growth remains sustainable.

1. Field of the Invention
This invention is related to an electrical connector that is used to terminate twisted pair wires. This invention is also related to electrical connectors that employ slotted beam or insulation displacement contacts or terminals to establish an electrical connector with insulated wires. More particularly, this invention is also related to electrical connectors that can be used to improve inductive and capacitive electrical coupling between individual wires in a twisted pair and to reduce crosstalk between adjacent twisted pairs for higher frequency transmission, such as 100 Mhz signals.
2. Description of the Prior Art
A conventional 110 style electrical connector used to terminate twisted pair telecommunications cables is shown in FIG. 1. These connectors 110 employ slotted beam or insulation displacement contact terminals 150. The connector shown in FIG. 1 is a four position connector that is used to terminate tip and ring wires in a two pair cable to a printed circuit board using compliant pin sections 156. The four terminals 150 are positioned side by side with the planar slotted beam portions 152 of the four terminals located in the same plane. Terminals 150 are received in cavities 136 in an insulated housing 112 that extend into tapered divider walls 124, center walls 120 and side walls 122 located on the top of the housing 112. These walls 120, 122, 124 define channels into which wires are inserted. Wires inserted laterally of their axes into these channels are inserted into the wire contact slots 174 in the slotted beams 152 of the terminals 150. The edges of the slotted beam defining the wire contact slots penetrate the wire insulation and establish a gas tight electrical connection to the wire. Terminals 150 are held in the housing 112 by tabs 162 struck from the sides of the terminal and by plastic inserted into the terminal opening left when the tabs 162 are formed. An electrical connector of similar construction that is used for splicing separate twisted pair cables is disclosed in U.S. Pat. No. 5,409,404,
Another connector that uses slotted beams or insulation displacement contacts with twisted pair cables is shown in U.S. Pat. No. 4,171,857. In that patent the terminals are fixedly disposed at an angle offset by about forty-five degrees with respect to a wire slot in a housing clamping element. That prior art connector is used to connect two wires to opposite bifurcated sections of the same terminal. The edges of the terminal element are offset at an angle so that the edges of the wire slot penetrate through the insulation of a wire and connect to the wire conductor.
Each of these prior art connectors is primarily intended for use with conventional twisted pair cable of the type commonly used for telephone communications. Recently twisted pair cable has been increasingly used for higher speed or higher frequency applications such as networked data communications. Standard twisted pair cable is not suitable for many of these applications because the transmission characteristics of standard twisted pair cable and twisted pair connectors are not satisfactory for these higher frequency applications. Therefore new standards for twisted pair cable suitable for higher frequencies have emerged. Category 5 twisted pair cable is one such cable. These cables are more tightly twisted to increase inductive and capacitive electrical coupling between individual wires forming each twisted pair. More stringent restrictions on crosstalk, and especially near end crosstalk (NEXT), have also been placed on these higher performance twisted pair cables. In many instances standard electrical connectors developed for use in the telephone industry can degrade the performance of twisted pair cable installations intended for use in higher frequency applications. These standard electrical connectors are however widely used and common footprints and installation tooling are widely known in the industry. There is therefore a desire to retain the well understood characteristics of these standard electrical connectors, but at the same time improve their performance.
The instant invention is directed to an electrical connector configuration that addresses the shortcomings of standard electrical connectors, such as 110 style electrical connectors, when used with twisted pair cable intended for higher frequency applications.
An object of this invention is therefore to improve the coupling between individual wires of the same twisted pair at the electrical connector by maintaining the tighter twist of higher performance twisted pair cables closer to the connector.
This invention is also intended to reduce the crosstalk between adjacent twisted pairs at the connector by reducing the capacitance between adjacent terminals connected to adjacent wire pairs.
These objects are also achieved in a manner that is consistent with standard practices for conventional electrical connectors. For example, this invention can be implemented in an electrical connector having the same cross sectional area as a standard 110 style connector and having the same contact footprint. Standard wire insertion tools used for 110 style connectors can also be used with a connector embodying this invention.
Another object of this invention is to simplify the manner in which an electrical connector using compliant pins can be mounted on a printed circuit board.
These improvements need to be achieved in a manner that will not compromise the structural integrity of either the molded housing or the terminals used in connectors of this type. Indeed, improvements in the strength and reliability of the housing and of the manner in which the terminals are retained in the housing should also result from the use of this invention.
These and other objectives are met by employing a configuration in which the terminals in a connector are inclined and offset relative to wire channels in a housing. Paired terminals used for each wire pair can be moved closer together into an overlapping relationship and separate terminal pairs can be separated to improve crosstalk performance The terminals can also be made wider to improve terminal retention in the housing.
These and other advantages are achieved in an electrical connector comprising an insulating housing and slotted beam terminals for terminating individual wires in twisted wire pairs. The housing includes wire channels and intersecting terminal cavities. The terminals are positioned in the terminal cavities with a wire contact slot aligned with the corresponding wire channel. In the preferred embodiment the maximum width of the terminals is greater than the centerline spacing between adjacent wire channels that receive individual wires of the same wire pair. The terminals and the terminal cavities are inclined relative to the wire channels to achieve such spacing.
By pairing terminals associated with wires in the same wire pair, the coupling between the wires can be improved at the connector to improve the high frequency performance of the connector and the twisted wire pair. By pairing the terminals to be used with the same wire pair, terminals for different wire pairs can be separated to reduce crosstalk between adjacent wire pairs By inclining the terminals relative to the wire channels, additional space is available to make the terminals wider than for conventional terminals of the same type and to make housing walls in the connector thicker than for conventional connectors with the terminals positioned side by side in the same plane. Terminal retention in the housing can therefore be improved. Improved terminal retention is especially important for connectors using compliant pins that must be inserted into plated through holes in a printed circuit board. Increased housing wall thickness limits breakage and damage to the connector.

The preferred embodiment of this invention is shown in FIG. 2. Electrical connector 10 is a 110 style electrical connector that is used to connect a first twisted wire pair 2 and a second twisted wire pair 4 to a printed circuit board (not shown). Each twisted pair 2, 4 includes two wires 6 and 8 that are typically used in a balanced pair transmission line. Electrical connector 10 can be employed with conventional twisted pair cable of the type commonly used for conventional telecommunications. This connector 10 can also be used for higher speed applications since connector 10 is intended to improve the coupling between wires in the same twisted pair relative to conventional 110 style connectors and to reduce crosstalk between adjacent twisted pairs relative to conventional 110 style connectors. Specifically this connector 110 is intended to be used with higher performance twisted pair cable configurations, such as Category 5 twisted pair cables, that employ a tighter twist than conventional twisted pair cables.
The connector 10 is a four position connector in which four slotted beam or insulation displacement terminals 50, as shown in FIGS. 5-7, or alternate terminals 70, as shown in FIG. 8, are inserted into a molded insulated housing 12. Housing 12 is a one piece structure having a base portion 14 with walls extending upwardly from an upper base surface 16. In the four position embodiment, one central wall 20 and two side walls 22 are separated by two tapered divider walls 24. As shown in FIG. 2, the tapered divider walls 24 are configured to act as splitters or dividers over which the individual wires 6, 8 forming one of the twisted wire pairs are separated. The wires 6, 8 enter wire channels 34 formed on either side of one of the tapered divider walls 24. The channels 34 are also formed by an adjacent central wall 20 or an adjacent side wall 22.
Each tapered divider wall 24 differs from the divider wall 124 in a conventional 110 style connector such as that shown in FIG. 1. Each tapered divider wall 24 includes two mutually staggered sections 26, 28 that are respectively offset toward the front and rear or the housing 12 as viewed in FIG. 2. Each staggered section has an inclined upper surface 30 and 32 respectively. The front inclined surface 30 merges with the rear inclined surface 32 along a straight line apex at the top of the tapered divider wall. Although each tapered divider wall 24 is described as having two sections 26, 28, it should be understood that each tapered divider wall is an integrally molded portion of the housing 12 and the staggered sections 26, 28 are really part of the same one-piece structure. These staggered sections permit the use of a standard, commonly available, single position insertion tool commonly employed to terminate conventional 110 style connecting blocks such as that shown in FIG. 1.
The wire channels 34 extend from the apex at the top of the tapered divider walls 24 to the upper surface 16 of the housing base 14. The four wire channels 34 are mutually parallel and are perpendicular to the front and rear faces of the housing 12 between which the channels 34 extend Terminal cavities 36 extend from the lower surface 18 of the housing base 14 through the upper surface 16 of the housing base 14 and extend upwardly in the tapered divider walls 24, the central wall 20 and the side walls 22 where they are manifested as opposed grooves extending into the corresponding wall from a corresponding wire channel 34. As shown in FIG. 3 and 4, the terminal cavities 36 are inclined relative to the wire channels 34. Preferably the angle of inclination is between fifteen and thirty degrees. An inclination of twenty degrees is shown in the embodiment depicted herein.
A central cavity 42 extends upwardly from the lower surface 18 of the housing base 14 as shown in FIG. 4. This central cavity 42 is cored during molding of the housing 12 and extends upwardly into the central wall 20. In the preferred embodiment, the central cavity 42 terminates below the top surface of the central wall 20, which has a continuous upper surface as shown in FIGS. 2 and 3.
One terminal 50 that can be used in connector 10 is shown in FIGS. 5-7. This terminal 50 is stamped and formed from a flat metal strip of a resilient metal. Terminal 50 has a flat or planar slotted beam or insulation displacement contact section 52. A wire contact slot 54 is formed between two opposed contact beams. A wire inserted laterally of its axis into the contact slot 54 will be engaged by the inward facing edges of the wire contact slot 54 and a gas tight mechanical and electrical connection will be established between the wire and the terminal 50.
Terminal 50 also includes a compliant pin 56 that can be inserted into a plated through hole in a printed circuit board. A press fit mechanical and electrical connection can then be established between the compliant pin 56 and the plated through hole. Insertion of the pin 56 into the hole will cause deflection of the two opposed arms forming the compliant pin 56 to establish a contact force between the pin and the plated through hole. As with other contacts having a compliant pin section of the type depicted herein, significant, though not excessive, force will be required to insert the pin into the plated though hole. In the embodiment of FIG. 5, the compliant pin 56 is offset relative to the centerline of the terminal running through the central wire contact slot 54. This offset can be seen more clearly in FIG. 7 and in FIG. 4.
The slotted beam 52 and the compliant pin 56 extend from opposite sides of a central terminal section 58. Terminals 50 are preferably stamped in a progressive die and the center section 58 would form a part of the carrier strip interconnecting adjacent terminals when in strip form. When adjacent terminals are severed from the carrier strip to form individual terminals 50 a portion of that carrier strip forms central section 58 and upwardly facing shoulders 60 are formed on opposite edges of the central section 58. As can be seen in FIG. 5 semicircular recesses 52 are formed on opposite edges of the central section 58 beneath the shoulders 60. These semicircular recesses 52 are left by the pilot holes in the carrier strip after the individual terminals 50 are separated.
Along the outer edges of the slotted beam portion 52 of terminals 50, spring fingers 64 are formed. These spring fingers 64 are cantilever beams that are joined to the slotted beam sections 52 at their upper ends. The free ends of the cantilever beam spring fingers 64 face downwardly when viewed from the perspective of FIG. 5. The spring fingers 64 are formed to extend out of the plane of the slotted beam section 52 when at rest, but the spring fingers 64 can be deflected into the plane of the rest of the terminal when the terminal is inserted into a terminal cavity 36 in housing 12.
Contact terminals 50 are inserted into the terminal cavities 36 of housing 12 from below. The manner in which these terminals 50 are retained in the housing 12 is shown in FIGS. 6 and 7. Each terminal cavity 36 includes an upwardly facing shoulder 38 located along one longer side of the generally rectangular terminal cavity 36. The width of the terminal cavity 36 is smaller below this upwardly facing shoulder 38 than that portion of the cavity extending from the shoulder 38 to the upper surface 16 of the housing base 14. The width of the portion of the terminal cavity below shoulder 38 is substantially equal to the thickness of the terminal 50. As the terminal 50 is inserted upwardly through the portion of terminal cavity 36 below shoulder 38, the spring fingers 64 are deflected into the plane of the slotted beam 52. After the spring fingers 64 clear the shoulder 38, the spring fingers snap back to their normal position as shown in FIG. 6. The ends of the spring fingers then abut the upwardly facing shoulder 38 to prevent removal or downward movement of the terminal 50 so that the terminal 50 can not back out of the terminal cavity 36.
Each terminal cavity 36 also includes two downwardly facing shoulders 40 located on opposite ends of the rectangular shaped terminal cavity. Since the terminal shoulders 60 on the center terminal section 58 form the widest part of terminal 50, these terminal shoulders abut the downwardly facing housing cavity shoulders 40 to prevent further insertion of terminal 50 into terminal cavity 36. In this manner the terminals 50 cannot move in either direction when inserted to the position shown in FIGS. 6 and 7 and terminals 50 are held in position in the housing 12. An even more secure engagement can be achieved by deforming portions of the plastic housing base 14 into the semicircular recesses 62 in substantially the same manner as disclosed in U.S. Pat. No. 5,409,404.
An alternate terminal 70 that can be used in electrical connector 10 is shown in FIG. 8 This terminal 70 also has a slotted beam portion 72 and a wire contact slot 74. A compliant pin 76 extends from the bottom of terminal 70 and is offset relative to the centerline of the terminal along which the wire contact slot 74 extends. The central portion of the terminal 70 differs from the embodiment of FIGS. 5-7. A central hole 78 is located along the centerline of the terminal 70. This central hole 78 also serves as a pilot hole prior to the time when the terminal 70 is severed from its carrier strip. An upwardly facing shoulder 79 is formed along one edge of terminal 70 to abut a downwardly facing cavity shoulder of the same type as shoulder 40 in the housing configuration shown in FIG. 7 used with terminals 50 Retraction of terminal 70 from housing 12 can be prevented by upsetting a portion of the housing base 14 in line with hole 78 in much the same manner as shown in U.S. Pat. No. 5,409,404. The hole 78 can however be much larger than the opening formed by striking out a tab 162 in the conventional connector shown in FIG. 1. Better terminal retention can be achieved in this manner. An alternative way of retaining terminal 70 in the housing 12 would be to insert a pin through the side of the terminal housing base 14 and through the hole 78.
Another version of a terminal 80 is shown in FIGS. 9 and 10. Terminal 80 is also an insulation displacement terminal having slotted beams 82 defining a wire contact slot 84 extending along the centerline of the slotted beam section of the terminal 80. Offset compliant beams 86 extend along the bottom of terminal 80. A central hole 88 is formed below the wire contact slot 84 and a tab 90 is struck out from the plane of the slotted beams 82. This tab 90 provides a retention surface for the terminal. Material can be upset or forced out of the housing into the terminal hole 88 to provide retention of the terminal in a corresponding housing Terminal 80 also includes a shoulder 92 that 5 would engage a printed circuit board and act as a stop to precisely position the connector and the terminals on a printed circuit board. Terminal 80 would be employed in substantially the same type housing as that shown in FIGS. 2-4. It should be understood however that the detail of the terminal cavities for receiving terminals 80 would differ from that shown in FIGS. 6 and 7. The relative positions that the terminals 80 would occupy in a connector 10 is shown in FIG. 10.
The spacing between the terminal centerlines of adjacent terminals 80 forming a single terminal pair for terminating a single wire pair is represented by a distance "a". The spacing between the second and third inner terminals 80, that are part of the separate first and second terminal pairs respectively is represented by a distance "b". For the preferred embodiments the distance "b" is greater than the distance "a" to reduce crosstalk between adjacent wire pairs. Because of the offset of compliant pins 86, the spacing between all adjacent compliant pins is constant and is represented by the distance "c". However, adjacent terminals 80 in the same terminal pair are offset or staggered by a distance "d".
Since the terminal cavities 36 are inclined relative to the wire channels 34, the terminals 50 will be angled relative to the wire channels 34. As shown in FIGS. 3 and 4, the terminals 50 will also be staggered and pairs of terminals 50 will overlap. By angling the terminals 50 and by overlapping two terminals 50 that are to be used to terminate the individual wires in the same twisted wire pair, the centerline of the terminals extending through the wire contact slots 54 can be spaced closer together. For the conventional connector shown in FIG. 1, all of the four terminals used with the four wires in two twisted pairs are evenly spaced on 0.150 inch centers. A closer spacing is not possible because the force and strength need for the slotted beam terminals to establish a suitable electrical connection with the wire dictates the minimum width of conventional terminals Molding and electrical isolation requirements in turn limit the closest spacing for terminal arranged in the same plane as in FIG. 1. By positioning the terminals in the angled configuration depicted for the preferred embodiment, the centerline spacing of the wire channels 34, the wire contact slots 54 and for the two wires of an individual wire pair 2 or 4 can be reduced In the preferred embodiment of this invention, the centerline spacing of two paired terminals on opposite sides of the same tapered divider wall 24 can be reduced to 0.100 inch or less for a terminal having substantially the same width as a terminal 150 used in the prior art configuration of FIG. 1 or the terminals can be wider for increased overlap and a greater normal contact force. Bringing the centerlines closer together improves the coupling of the individual wires of the same twisted wire pair relative to that which can be achieved with a conventional side by side coplanar configuration. For higher frequency applications, this paired terminal configuration yields relative coupling improvement that is more important than for conventional applications.
For twisted pair cables, such as Category 5 twisted pair cable, having a tighter twist than conventional twisted pair cable, this closer spacing means that the tighter twist can be maintained closer to the terminals thereby reducing discontinuities at the terminals.
By pairing terminals 50 intended to be used with wires in the same wire pair, extra space is left so terminals for different wire pairs, and the wire pairs themselves, can be spaced further apart in a connector of the same cross sectional area. As seen in FIG. 3 the two interior terminals 50 are spaced further apart than the paired terminals 50 on either the right or the left of the connector 10. In the preferred embodiment, the spacing between this second and third terminal 50 from the left, as shown in FIG. 3, is approximately 0.200 inch while the centerline spacing between paired terminals one and two or paired terminals three and four is approximately 0.100 inch. This greater centerline spacing between paired terminals and wires alone will reduce the crosstalk between adjacent pairs at the connector location by reducing capacitance between adjacent twisted wire pairs For higher transmission speeds and higher frequencies this capacitive crosstalk reduction is even more important. It has been demonstrated that by pairing inclined terminals on an 0.100 inch centerline for terminals associated with the same wire pair and by separating adjacent terminal pairs by 0.200 inch, a near end crosstalk (NEXT) reduction of approximately 6 db can be achieved at 100 MHz. Capacitance can be further reduced if the material separating terminals in different wire pairs has a lower dielectric constant. By coring out the central housing cavity 42, the plastic between the second and third terminals in different wire pairs is replaced by air and air has a lower effective dielectric constant than the plastics used to mold electrical connector housings. Angling the terminals and pairing the terminals in the manner shown leaves room for central cavity 42.
As shown in FIG. 3, the centerlines of adjacent terminals 50 are not constant in electrical connector 10. However the offset of the compliant pins 56 on the terminals allows the compliant pins to be kept on a constant centerline spacing. In the preferred embodiment the centerline spacing between adjacent compliant pins would be 0.150 inch while the spacing between the wire contact slots would be 0.100 between first and second terminals and between third and forth terminals, but would be 0.200 between the second and third terminals. By simply rotating the terminals 50 in the terminal cavities 36, the same terminals 50 can be used in all four terminal positions. In applications where it is not necessary to maintain the spacing of 0.150 inch used in conventional footprints, the compliant pin could be placed on the terminal centerline.
By angling and overlapping the paired terminals 50, the spacing between the wire contact slots and the sides of the housing 12 and the sides of the tapered divider walls 24 will not be constant. One slot will be in front of the other slot in two paired terminals. In other words, one slot will be closer to the front of the housing than the other This staggering of the wire contact slots gives rise to the offset or staggered configuration of the two tapered wall sections 26 and 28 as seen in FIGS. 2 and 3. Use of a standard single position tool 202 as shown in FIG. 2 means that the two tapered wall sections 26 and 28 must be offset since this single position tool is positioned by engagement with one half of each tapered wall section. When wires are inserted using this single position tool, it will be positioned relatively closer to the front of the connector for one wire and relatively closer to the rear of the connector for the next wire. FIGS. 11 and 12 show a new dual position tool 204 that consists of two staggered single position tools heads 202. The staggered configuration of the tapered divider walls 24 and the corresponding staggering of the central wall as shown in FIG. 3 will align the tool 204 so that each blade 206 and each wire insertion slot 208 will be aligned with the wire contact slot 54 in the corresponding terminal and the wire cutoff 209 will trim the end of the wire. The staggered dual tips permit termination both wires in a pair with a single stroke reducing the time needed by an operator to terminate the wires to the connector.
Although the inclined or angled configuration of the terminals 50 relative to the wire channels 34 permits terminals to be paired, this relative orientation of the terminals provides certain mechanical advantages that are not related to the improvement in coupling between wire pairs and the reduction in crosstalk. As discussed previously more force is required to insert a compliant pin, such as compliant pin 56 into a printed circuit board plated through hole than would be required to insert a solid pin that would be soldered to the plated through hole or to a trace on a single sided printed circuit board that did not employ plated through holes. Since multiple compliant pins are inserted at the same time, the force required to insert one compliant pin must be multiplied by the number of pins involved. With conventional electrical connectors, such as that shown in FIG. 1, insertion force must be applied directly to terminals 150 because retention force provided by the engagement between the plastic at 144 with the terminal opening left by tab 162 is not sufficient to withstand the force necessary to insert the compliant pins 156. Therefore insertion tooling must engage the tops of the terminals 156. The angled orientation of the terminals 50 in the connector 10 means that the terminals can be wider and sufficient space is then available for the shoulders 60 in terminals 50 or the shoulders 79 in terminals 70. These terminal shoulders now engage a relatively large housing shoulder 40 and the compliant pin insertion force can now be applied to the housing and transferred to the terminals. For the terminal 70, the amount of housing material that can be upset into the hole 78 is greater than that which can be upset into the opening left by tab 162 in the prior art configuration and even greater force can be applied through the housing to the terminal. For configurations in which a separate pin is inserted into opening 78, even greater force can be applied.
The angled configuration of the terminals 50 also provides additional space for increasing the thickness of the housing walls. This additional space is especially useful because the side walls 22 can be thicker in the preferred embodiment of this invention than for a conventional connector such as that shown in FIG. 1. Increasing the thickness of side walls 22 will reduce any tendency for these walls to break off due to excessive forces applied when the connector is in use. Staggering the terminals and positioning them on different centerlines, such as the 0.100 inch and 0.200 inch spacing used in the preferred embodiment also provides additional space for increasing the thickness of the housing walls.
The preferred embodiment of this invention is an electrical connector 10 that is used to connect twisted wire pairs to a printed circuit board. It should be understood inclined, paired terminals could be used in alternative connector configurations. For example, the inclined, paired terminals could be employed in a connector that would be used to splice two twisted wire pair cables. Such a connector would typically not be limited to a two pair cable. The invention is also not limited to use with a connector employing compliant pins. Solid pins that can be soldered to a printed circuit board could be employed. It should therefore be understood that although the preferred embodiment of this invention is directed to improvements in a prior art 110 style electrical connector, the invention, at least in its broadest aspects is not limited to the preferred embodiment of the invention depicted herein. For example, the inclined terminal configuration and the staggering could be used to achieve a similar improvement in electrical performance for a connector using a stamped and formed contact array employed in a connector including an insulation displacement input and a modular jack or other output connector. Therefore the invention is defined by the following claims and is not limited to the representative embodiments depicted herein.

Help me to understand what makes you do the things you do. No threats, just talk. I am quite sure that you will not, because I think that is the type of person you might be. You puzzle me.

Mikeil305, Why should Churches not concern themselves with politics? Please do not give me the "cr**p" about separation either. Politics affect churches and the people that attend them. If you do not think so, just wait, the law suits are coming to "force" churches to do what goes against their teachings.

smokehillfarm, A voice of Reason! I will not defend Jared, but I will not "convict" him unless I know more of the "crime" Trust me, fooling with hookers or underage willing companions will help you lose all you cherish in the way of family with out the full on MOB howl for his blood. If he molested children, that is one thing, if he availed himself of young willing girls(or prostitutes, that is another thing. Still wrong in my book but not something to hang a person for. Fix the real issues first. Hate on me all you want if you must, do not care. Judge each "crime" and person on the merits of what actually happened. Keep in mind, if you have pictures of your children running around nude or very little clothing on, and if you have pictures of you playing with them that someone with a warped mind could construe as something sexual, YOU COULD GO TO JAIL for child Pornography. Learn the facts before jumping to conclusions, haven't you folks learned that from all the "band wagon" jumping that has occurred in the last two years on things that have proven to be false once the whole story comes out?

Very Cute, I see the Troll in you LazyBlaze. Short time for someone like you, say, about 2 months. I like the Idea of no more than 2 years of Government help. If you can not get it together in that time, there is something wrong. That something wrong could be the economy or some other factor like that. NO , it does not include people who are Physically or Mentally unable to work, present company excepted. There are always extenuating circumstances that can come into play to extend Government help. People who take responsibility for themselves generally do not need extended help. They know that if it requires it, they will take a lesser job and still work toward their long term goal. LazyBlaze, I think your name might just be apt. I am not a judge, jury and executioner, but in your case…. Prove me wrong. Prove you are not a Troll and Not a snot nose kid either, that does not have any time on this earth. Want to know who I am? I am Lloyd Bledsoe and am not afraid.
August 13, 2015 at 7:50pm
To Truly help someone who is down, is NOT to give them something for nothing. These "poor" Hollywood types who did what you describe know or should know the value of hard work and sticking to your goals. Having someone help them for a SHORT time is fine, they do not want to "help" society and if they do, they go about it in the wrong way when they advocate "giving" handouts to lots of people. It is called a hand up and perseverance to attain you goals
[2] August 13, 2015 at 7:44pm
Marnin, you are entitled to what you think. It is obvious who you support. I like Cruz also. Here is the thing with Trump, if he stays in for the longer haul, he will force the others to really state their views and spell out concrete ways to accomplish those goals. As for the Media, we as consumers need to tell them what we want to see/hear, not the other way around. So far, they are the ones driving this cart.
August 13, 2015 at 7:38pm
Mikeil305, At least he admits using the System as it is set up. most of the others Lie about it. Trump is no Politician, he is a Capitalist with Liberal thoughts on many things. He makes no bones about what he has done, and he is entitled to change what he thinks just like all the Liberal Democrats.

Children born to Illegals are a citizen of their parents home country. Children born here could still have a "birthright" citizenship in the United States, They should only be able to "exercise" that right either of two ways, Parents come here through the Legal immigration process(no skipped steps) or when they are age of Majority they can choose to come here as a Citizen, Renouncing Citizenship in the "home" country. If they do not want to renounce citizenship in home country, they can use the regular Immigration process(with some skipped steps, for THEM only) to come here. Cut all Government benefits off to Illegals. This goes for all Illegals no matter where they are from. If you come here, This is your country and there is no duel allegiance!

Because I have not read any of the comments here, forgive me if I state what is obvious to me. Someone is being set up for the Fall. You can not be in the position of Secretary of State and NOT know what is and what is Not deemed Classified and What level it should be. If this person knew of this "crime" and did nothing about it, they are just as guilty. However, they are setting up for deniability for Clinton. What how it is all reported. Watch how they will skirt around the FACT that it is Her responsibility for the actions of her subordinates. She is …….. and in my view should be in Jail.

My, how Zapparules shows UNCOMMON Sense. But in a way that offers NO solution to the issue, Only in a way to bash Conservative Views, of course with absolutely no backing of his statement. Conservatives do not believe that you should add more guns to any and every environment(by the way, they are already there) and Yes, in a situation where a bad guy has a gun, the possibility of stopping him is greater if a "good" guy has one also. And in his warped "life's" view he wants to apply a false logic to nuclear weapons. You are so misguided.
The way to keep bad guys(guns, to use your analogy) and bad countries from having Nuclear Weapons is to have them suffer the consequences of their bad Judgement. Of Course you do not credit the Liberal view that all should be treated equally, no matter what, for the failure to keep bad people/countries from having weapons that can do harm to even more people. Yes Zapparules, I can agree with you that the only certain thing with the use of a nuclear weapon is that all things in the impact area will Die, and that others outside the area will suffer. So almighty Zappa, how would you stop the bad guys from having Nuclear Weapons? Oh, by the way your fallacious comparing of the two things(Guns and Nuclear) is so outrageous that only you and Like minded folks like you can "see" that logic. By your statements, you will probably be one of the first ones to fall victim to the collapse of this country which you so fervently work for.

I am trying not to make this about "race" but, I sure would like to know the ethnicity of the Bad guys. I am almost 100 percent positive that if the bad guys had been white, the picture of the one shot would be in/with the story. I claim Bias by "the blaze" IF this story is only produced by a contributor to the blaze. If it was a copy and paste, why is there no "tag line" as is befitting a proper journalistic endeavor. I can also understand if there is no picture IF the bad guy that was shot is a "youth'. Other than those things, I applaud the home owner and approve of his actions. Yes, I do know what it is like to shoot another human being, and folks Practice does help, but with that said, any hit is better than no hit or NO Gun!

"There are artists whose bread and butter is just making music that sounds verifiably like it came somewhere out of 1994," says Philadelphia rapper Lushlife, aka Raj Haldar. He's having a cup of tea at Atlas Café in Williamsburg, Brooklyn, hours before playing a show at the Knitting Factory a few blocks away. "And, as much as my own music is informed by that era, I feel like I want to try to take some step forward without losing sight of the groundwork behind me. It's like, 'Come on, we all loved the '90s. Let's get over it.'"
This is a funny thing to hear from an MC whose dense, polysyllabic rhymes are often compared to Illmatic-era Nas and whose list of hip-hop reference points—Black Moon, Pete Rock and CL Smooth, A Tribe Called Quest, Gangstarr—barely make it past Y2K. But the beats Lushlife raps over in his gruff, rat-a-tat flow are aggressively contemporary, almost to a degree that suggests calculation: His last mixtape, No More Golden Days, featured Haldar rapping over blissed-out, ethereal concoctions by producers like Clams Casino and slowed-down, blown-out versions of recent indie-rock staples like Gang Gang Dance's "Adult Goth" and Fleet Foxes' "Mykonos." His new full-length, Plateau Vision, jettisons some of the blog-bait for more even weirder, spacier, synth-snarled New Age boom-bap and hiccupped psych-rock. Is it chillwaverap? Cloud-rap? Trillwave? Self-aware-post-chillwave? Does any of this matter?
Big Sur – Lushlife by lushlifemedia
When asked if he's frustrated by these genre classifications, Lushlife is more amused than anything, perhaps excited that people finally know how to classify a soft-spoken, self-effacing rapper who went on a juice fast, often name-checks the Smiths and looks like he might volunteer at a library. "In 2009, I put out a record called Cassette City, and there are tracks on there in hindsight that I feel like they could fit in the 'chillwave' or 'cloud-rap' categories," says Lushlife. "I just think there wasn't a way to process them neatly at the time. But maybe I'm just giving myself a pat on the back."
Far from being a trend-hopper, Haldar has been developing his aesthetic for a long time. Born in New Jersey, he started DJing at the age of 10, teaching himself how to cut and scratch, and scrounging record stores for obscure Smoothe Da Hustler singles. After a brief stint studying jazz composition at Rutgers, a lost year at NYU and a few years abroad in England, Haldar has made Philly his home for the last seven years. Having recently turned 30, he's something of a hip-hop academic, and his lyrics, packed full of literary, spiritual and musical allusions, confirm that.
Still I Hear the Word Progress (ft. Styles P) – Lushlife by lushlifemedia
With guest verses from Bad Boy and Ruff Ryder alum Styles P, Das Racist's Heems, conscious Canadian Shad and Memphis cloud-classicist Cities Aviv, Plateau Vision feels liberated from regional geography and history. "In some weird sense, from the lyrical standpoint, the narrative of Plateau Vision is somehow about this idea of anthropology," he explains. "How it relates to the advent and growth of hip-hop culture and seeing B-boy nostalgia culture through the lens of classic anthropological tropes." But for such heady material, the buoyant, contemplative album never feels like a term paper.
"I like to think that my music has a broad appeal," he says, finishing up his tea. "I don't know right now whether that's come to fruition yet. I think right now, to be very honest, it's just this subset of people who grew up in the '80s and '90s and have extremely broad tastes. That's the best way I can explain it, since I don't have a lot of ways of getting a broad understanding of who's listening and who's not. But I'm glad that anyone is listening."

"The house is perfectly located. Short walk to the beach and close to the grocery store. The pool area is great and we liked the layout of the house. We were there during the Easter week but it was never that busy. All in all a great place to stay."Guest: kootenayfam Date of Stay: March 2015 Review Submitted: April 16, 2015View listing
"Casa JJ was a perfect destination for our family spring break. It has private access to a gorgeous stretch of beach that was never even the least bit crowded. Within a short walk, you have access to several retaurants, a local convenience store, and surf lessons. Down the beach you can have one of the water taxis to take you across the estuary to Tamarindo, if you want access to more shopping and dining options. The house is well kept and comfortable. We spent most of our time out on the beautiful patio, where we often watched a local family of howler monkeys. The kids loved having the pool, which was immaculate (it was cleaned daily, which couldn't be said for several other pools we saw). Jorge and Jessie met us at the home personally when we arrived, and made sure we had everything we needed for a perfect vacation. If you are looking for a quiet and relaxing beach vacation with access to more entertainment options not too far away, you can't do better than Casa JJ."Guest: Brad G.

"9 of us went to Playa Grande for 9 days. 5 of them being teenagers. Everyone loved everything about this house. We can not wait to go back. We try to go on a different vacation every year, but this one will certainly be a repeat. The owner is east to work with and the caretakers are great. The waves were only a 3 minute walk for all of our surfers and boogey boarders. Next door is a great restaurant Seven and a small convenience store that has everything you could possibly need."Guest: EK Date of Stay: February 2015 Review Submitted: March 2, 2015View listing
"Casa Costa Palmera is a little slice of Heaven. Our family had the best time on this amazing beach and in this amazing house. We hired Maria to cook our meals (the best decision ever) and she is an amazing cook. We also used the food stocking service (another perfect decision) and Alyssa brought us our food so we didn't have to waste time at the grocery store. Orlando and Maria are absolutely amazing, kind, and wonderful people. They made us feel welcomed and like royalty. The beach is absolutely splendid and we spent every day swimming or body boarding in the surf. We walked on the beach every morning and were on the beach every evening till sunset. We went snorkeling at Playa Carbon as well which is something that you definitely shouldn't miss when you visit. Alyssa, our concierge, helped set up several tours and trips for us including ziplining and fishing. She was so amazing to work with. We cannot wait to go back! This was the best vacation our family has ever been on! Thank you so much Alyssa, Maria, and Orlando!"Guest: Katie C. Date of Stay: January 2015 Review Submitted: January 20, 2015View listing
