"Rush hour in Kaesong" Top 5 Page for this destination Kaesong by CliffClaven
Kaesong Travel Guide: 86 reviews and 277 photos
Old Cliffie took this photo of the main street in Kaesong – a town with a population of 150000 - in the early afternoon of a normal working day. There was not a lot of traffic. In fact, the traffic policeman in the middle of the junction spent most of his time blowing his whistle and shouting at the subversive tourists trying to take photographs. Our tour guide/minder looked sheepish and said we ought to stop.
It was a pity, because there are things to photograph in Kaesong. For the last two years of the Korean War, while the rest of the peninsula was devastated as the front line moved back and forth, the two sides held armistice talks in Kaesong. Okay, the discussions often degenerated into raucous rants, but one thing the senior officials on both sides quickly agreed was that they didn't want to be bombed or shot at, and so they decided that Kaesong would be a combat-free area. The result is that the town is practically the only place in North Korea where you can find prewar architecture. Another interesting fact about Kaesong is that it is the only town in North Korea which was below the 38th parallel, i.e. in South Korea, at the outbreak of the war. Depending on your point of view, therefore, it was the only South Korean town "liberated" or "captured" by the North.

Thought ginseng was not recommended for women, as it did special things for the male of the species.....
OK tips! I want going there soon.
So it's not the traffic I should worry about in Kaesong - what are the dangers to the average tourist? Going to DPRK in Sept.
new haircut. show me. haha .. have a wonderful holiday dear uncle. :))
I see we managed to get stuck in the same traffic jams!
Funny to read. Mind you, with diminishing oil supply it's not the Kaesong drivers I fear for will not adapt fast. My question is rather how would a Seoul driver cope in a world like Kaesong?!? Cheers, Marina

Super Bowl of firsts, lasts, bests
"I'll have a better answer for you after the game. I've never been through this before. This is all new."
And oh-so-new for the QBs, Flacco and Colin Kaepernick.
Flacco is no fluke, holding the career record for road playoff wins with six. But until outplaying Peyton Manning and Tom Brady this year, he hadn't gotten the Ravens to the Super Bowl. He has eight touchdown passes and no interceptions in the postseason, padding a resume that soon will make him one very highly paid quarterback: Flacco's contract expires after this game. Even with a franchise tag applied by Baltimore (13-6), he'll make about $14.6 million next season.
"I think when you talk about winning as quarterbacks in the playoffs," Flacco said, "I would think that all of them have Super Bowl victories. So that's really the only one that matters, and that's what we're trying to get."
Naturally, so are the 49ers (13-4-1), whose midseason adoption of the pistol offense to best use Kaepernick's dynamic versatility added a dimension no one has been able to stop. The Niners might never have taken such a huge step had incumbent Alex Smith, in the midst of his best season, not sustained a concussion on Nov. 11. Kaepernick took over and the offense took off.
Once Smith was healthy, he no longer was the starter. Jim Harbaugh gambled by sticking with the raw second-year quarterback who brought more game-breaking skills to the position.
Difficult decisions like that are sometimes foolhardy, sometimes inspired.
This one worked superbly, and Kaepernick stands one victory from joining Joe Montana and Steve Young as a 49er Super Bowl champion.
"It was tough watching this team do well and not being able to contribute," said Kaepernick, more recognized before his promotion for his collection of tattoos than for his strong arm and sprinter's speed. "For me, what kept me going was the fact that I might get an opportunity to get out there. When I did, I needed to take advantage of it."
The 49ers hope to take advantage in the same Superdome where they were at their most dominant, beating Denver 55-10 in 1990 in the biggest rout the Super Bowl has seen.
The Steelers are recognized as the true powerhouse of the Super Bowl era, which is nearly a half-century old. Four of those titles came in the 1970s, with Mean Joe Greene and the Steel Curtain shutting down opponents while Terry Bradshaw, Franco Harris and Lynn Swann were scoring on them.
But the last two were in 2005 and 2008, and they've been perennial playoff qualifiers, too. That kept them in the football forefront.
For the 49ers the golden years of Montana, Rice, Young and Ronnie Lott ended with the 1994 season. They didn't even make the playoffs from 2003-10, and this is their first trip back to the Super Bowl.
Rice sees Super Bowl win No. 6 coming Sunday.
"I just think we had players who played well in the big game," he said. "My best football that I played, I think, happened in the playoffs and in the Super Bowl. I think it's the same with these players."
None of whom, except for center Jonathan Goodwin and linebacker Clark Haggans, has won a title. That's still one more ring than the Ravens have: Lewis is the sole NFL champion in Baltimore.
Lewis hungers for these teammates to taste their first title - and to do it in his last game.
"I've touched the Lombardi (Trophy), and I know how it feels," the perennial All-Pro said. "For these guys who've made this journey with me to feel that, it would be the perfect ending for my career."

Organized by size, each hollow tube is about 8 inches long, designed as nests for Kansas' wild bees. This structure is called a bee hotel. Always A Challenge, The Weather Could Become More Unpredictable For Farmers By Abby Wendle • Jul 9, 2015 Driving down a two-lane highway in rural Missouri, Matt Plenge squinted at a patch of gray clouds hanging low over his farm fields in the distance. "Does it look hazy up there?" he asked. "We only had a 20 percent chance today. We shouldn't get any rain." Plenge, like most farmers, always keeps one eye on the weather. But this spring, it's been his primary and constant concern. Farm Groups Criticize Ethanol Policy Changes At Hearing By Jeremy Bernfeld • Jun 26, 2015 Thursday was not the day to switch places with Chris Grundler. Grundler, the director of the Office of Transportation and Air Quality at the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, was in charge of the EPA's one in-person hearing about proposed changes to U.S. ethanol policy. California Drought Not A Windfall For Midwest Farmers By Grant Gerlock • Jun 24, 2015 Grant Gerlock / Harvest Public Media California grows almost half the fruits and vegetables in the U.S. It's also deep in drought and some farms are short on water. That may sound like a chance for Midwestern farmers to churn out more peppers and broccoli, but it's not that simple. Without Stable Policy, Low Carbon Fuels Struggle To Find Stable Footing By Grant Gerlock • Jun 10, 2015 The federal government's complex set of rules meant to spur a renewable fuels industry has fallen behind one of its main goals: cut greenhouse emissions from gasoline. Nearly a decade after the rules were drafted, low-carbon fuels have yet to arrive. The Environmental Protection Agency says it will propose tweaks to the nation's ethanol policy by June 1, and the changes will mark a crucial point for the next generation of biofuels, which have so far failed to flourish. More Money, Fewer Grasslands: Corn Ethanol's Impact On Rural America By Emily Guerin • Jun 8, 2015 Ethanol is one of the most important industries in the Midwest, and it's an industry about to change. The U.S. EPA says that by June 1 it will propose new targets for the Renewable Fuel Standard, or RFS, which dictates the amount of ethanol the oil industry has to blend into our gasoline. Even In The Heartland, 'Going Local' Can Be A Challenge For Chefs And Farmers By Eleanor Klibanoff • Jun 1, 2015 Eleanor Klibanoff / Harvest Public Media Listen Listening... / 4:18 It's no longer enough for restaurants to offer roasted chicken or braised beef shank on their menus. They need to be able to tell customers exactly where that chicken came from and how the cow was raised. If they can remember the pedigree of the produce? All the better. Harvest Desk: EPA Proposes Tweaks To Ethanol Policy By Jeremy Bernfeld • May 29, 2015 Harvest Public Media The U.S. EPA is proposing tweaks to ethanol policy. The agency proposed a cut to the amount of corn ethanol oil companies are required to blend in to our gasoline, as well as ambitious targets for low-carbon cellulosic ethanol, which is produced from grasses and other inedible parts of plants. "Stud Dames" Spread Cow Genetics Far And Wide By Abby Wendle • May 28, 2015 Abby Wendle / Harvest Public Media Panda, standing six feet tall and weighing almost a ton, is everything a show cow should be: broad-backed and round-rumped, with sturdy legs holding up her heft. Her hide - thick and black, with splotches of creamy white - fits her name. Why Do Farmers Burn Their Fields? By Jacob Grace • May 18, 2015 Farmers burn their fields to remove plants that are already growing and to help the plants that are about to come up. These burns are often called "prescribed burns" because they are used to improve the health of the field. What tools do farmers need for a burn? To keep the fire contained, farmers need to clear away burnable matter around the edges of the field, which usually requires a lawn mower or larger machinery. The burn itself can be managed with some simple, specific tools. Research Connection Could Help Answer Questions About Rural Cancer By Grant Gerlock • May 14, 2015 Just over a year ago, Tracy Dethlefs learned she has stage 1 breast cancer. Since then, she estimates she's charted some 10,000 miles travelling from her farm near Loup City in central Nebraska to area hospitals for treatment. Every surgery, round of chemotherapy and radiation treatment was a road trip. "Radiation treatments usually (take) only about 5 minutes (on) a day that they have to see you," Dethlefs said. "But for a week, for seven weeks in a row, you're driving every single day to the cancer treatment center. We're about an hour away from cancer centers." Officials Seek To Contain Avian Flu As Outbreak Continues By Amy Mayer • May 5, 2015 As the number of farms hit with avian flu grows over 100 nationwide, regulators are implementing containment plans meant to stop the virus' spread, spare millions of at-risk birds and thousands of poultry farms. Farms in many states, including Iowa, Missouri and Kansas, are struggling to contain an active outbreak. "A rapid response is extremely important in an infectious disease outbreak like this," said Jim Roth, head of the Center for Food Safety and Public Health at Iowa State University's College of Veterinary Medicine. The Bird Flu Explained By Associated Press • Apr 28, 2015 Wild birds are believed to be behind the first major widespread outbreak of bird flu in the United States, with the virus confirmed in the animals in 10 states. Here are some questions and answers about how wild birds remain healthy even when carrying the virus and spread it to backyard and commercial flocks of chickens and turkeys. HOW DID THE VIRUS ARRIVE STATESIDE? What Dropping The Cuba Trade Embargo Could Mean For Midwest Farmers By Kristofor Husted • Apr 14, 2015 When President Obama announced in late 2014 that he would work toward ending the embargo on trade with Cuba, it wasn't just tourists perking up their ears. Midwest farmers and ranchers see communist Cuba as an untapped market for goods from the American Heartland. One of those farmers is Paul Combs, a rice farmer from southeast Missouri. Cuba can be an important market for farmers like Combs, who already depend on exporting their products. Bird Flu Found In Midwest By Jeremy Bernfeld • Mar 12, 2015 A highly contagious strain of bird flu has officially made its way to the Midwest. The disease was confirmed Tuesday in two separate commercial turkey flocks in Missouri, according to the Missouri Department of Agriculture and the USDA. New Report Blames Monsanto For Monarch Butterfly Decline By Jacob McClelland • Feb 6, 2015 Credit Adele Hodde / Illinois Department of Natural Resources The environmental organization Center for Food Safety is blaming agriculture giant Monsanto for declining numbers of monarch butterflies. A new report finds that spraying glyphosate herbicide on Monsanto's Roundup Ready crops has killed off sixty percent of the common milkweed since 1999. John Pleasants at Iowa State University says milkweed is the only food source for monarch butterfly caterpillars. Vague Laws Can Stand In The Way Of Unlocking Hemp's Benefits By Luke Runyon • Feb 2, 2015 Humans have been growing hemp for centuries. Hemp-based foods have taken off recently. So have lotions and soaps that use hemp oil. There's evidence that different compounds in cannabis could be used as medicine and hope that its chemical compounds could hold keys to treatments for Parkinson's disease and childhood epilepsy. Biologists Hope Ospreys Find Their Way Back To Illinois By Jamey Dunn • Feb 1, 2015 Illinois Department of Natural Resources Ospreys, brought to Illinois as part of a project to restore the endangered hawk species, have flown the coop for warmer climates. But those working with the birds hope to see them return to the state in the near future. University Group Seeks Change In Cost Estimate On Carbon Emissions By Jamey Dunn • Feb 1, 2015 A team of economists is calling for changes to the way the federal government figures the cost associated with carbon emissions. The Social Cost of Carbon (SCC) is what the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency and other federal entities use to estimate the monetary damage caused by carbon dioxide emissions. The current SCC is estimated to be $37 per metric ton of carbon dioxide released into the atmosphere. The number is used to consider the value of plans to address climate change by cutting emissions. How Much Does Farming Feed The Carbon Cycle? By Grant Gerlock • Jan 28, 2015 Scientists have noticed a change in the atmosphere. Plants are taking in more carbon dioxide during the growing season and giving off more carbon in the fall and winter. Recent research shows the massive corn crop in the Corn Belt may be contributing to that deeper breath. It comes down to the Carbon Cycle. Over the winter when corn fields lay dormant, corn stalks and roots break down, sending CO2 into the air. Then in the summer when a new crop is growing, it takes up carbon from the atmosphere. Poultry Industry Warily Watches Bird Flu Outbreak By Amy Mayer • Jan 26, 2015 Update: Avian influenza was found in a Foster Farms turkey flock in Stanislaus County, Calif., the company announced Monday. The outbreak is thought to be the first infection of this type of bird flu in a commercial flock in the U.S. In a previous version of this post, the location of the outbreak was incorrectly identified. Harvest Glut Clogs Rail, Rivers, Roads By Kristofor Husted • Dec 18, 2014 For the Midwest's biggest crops, this harvest season was a big one. With winter setting in, the race is on for farmers to ship out their harvest so it's not left out to spoil. But the giant harvest and a lack of available rail cars have created a traffic jam on the rails and the highways. Usually, farmers store their harvest in silos and grain bins, but this year, farmers brought in so much, there's just no room. Farmers in Missouri, Indiana, Illinois and South Dakota are all being hit particularly hard by the storage shortage. Tougher Times Put Young Farmers Dreams On Hold By Abby Wendle • Dec 5, 2014 Grant Curtis remembers the day he went shopping for his first tractor. "It was an eye opening experience," he said. "Walking into a dealership, getting the prices, walking back to the bank and pleading my case. Saying, 'I want to get back to the farm, but I need a way to do that.'" Curtis, in his early twenties at the time and without farmland of his own, joked that the only thing he offered as collateral was sweat. But grain farming is a seriously expensive business. High Turkey Prices Unlikely To Impact Consumers By Abby Wendle • Nov 25, 2014 flickr/Calgary Reviews Wholesale turkey prices are at an all-time high this Thanksgiving, but you may not see that at the grocery store. Farmers raised fewer turkeys this year than they have in the past three decades - about 235 million gobblers, according to the US Department of Agriculture. Ann Knowles raised seventy on her small farm in western Illinois. She coops up the plump birds at night to guard against predators, but lets them roam freely during the day. KNOWLES "They get to strut. And they chase in bugs. So I think they're little dinky brains are probably pretty happy." Reducing Pollution From Farm Fields Through Education By Sean Crawford • Nov 13, 2014 flickr/United Soybean Board Agricultural runoff is a problem in Illinois and many other farm states. Nitrogen, phosphorous and chemicals help with yields, but too much winds up in the water supply. That creates problems like algae growth that robs the water of oxygen, killing off aquatic life. Jean Payne represents fertilizer and chemical dealers in the state. She says a training program will launch this winter in an effort to get farmers better educated on how to apply nutrients to their crops, including the best time for application and proper amounts. Medical Marijuana Licenses Could Be Issued Before Year's End By Lisa Ryan • Nov 12, 2014 flickr/dankdepot The more than 370 applications to operate medical marijuana cultivation centers and dispensaries in Illinois are being whittled down. Licenses could be awarded before the end of the year. Corn Husking Can Still Be A Hands On Job By Abby Wendle • Oct 13, 2014 Dick Humes squinted and sweat as he moved down a row of corn. He sliced through the husk with a metal hook in his right hand, snapped the ear from its stalk with his left, and threw it over his shoulder into a wagon rolling alongside him. Every other second, the corn hit the floor of the wagon with a thud. Humes was setting a steady pace for the men's 50-and-older division at the 34th annual Illinois State Corn Husking Competition. With Curbside Composting, Food Waste Not A Total Loss By Cassandra Profita • Oct 7, 2014 Wasting around 40 percent of all the food produced in the U.S. certainly has its drawbacks: It's not feeding people in need, it's expensive and it does a lot of environmental damage. But across the country, cities, towns and companies are finding food waste doesn't have to be a total loss. In fact, it can be quite valuable – in making fertilizer, electricity or even fuel for cars, trucks and buses. Choices Can Slice School Food Waste By Luke Runyon • Oct 6, 2014 Lunch time at Harris Bilingual Elementary School in Fort Collins, Colo., displays all the usual trappings of a public school cafeteria: Star Wars lunch boxes, light up tennis shoes, hard plastic trays and chocolate milk cartons with little cartoon cows. It's pizza day, the most popular of the week, and kids line up at a salad bar before receiving their slice. Grocery Stores Waste Tons Of Food As They Woo Shoppers By Kristofor Husted • Oct 2, 2014 Grocery stores and restaurants serve up more than 400 million pounds of food each year, but nearly a third of it never makes it to a stomach. With consumers demanding large displays of un-blemished, fresh produce or massive portion sizes, many grocery stores and restaurants end up tossing a mountain of perfectly edible food. Despite efforts to cut down on waste, the consumer end of the food chain still accounts for the largest share of food waste in the U.S. food system.

1. Field of the Invention
The present invention relates to a helical compression spring for a vehicle suspension, and more particularly to a mounting system for the helical compression spring that maintains the spring in a linear orientation over the entire range of compression.
2. Description of the Related Arts
In general, a vehicle suspension is provided with a substantially helical compression spring, where the compression spring works in concert with a shock absorber. The compression spring can be substantially coaxial to a telescoping strut, or a shock absorber that simultaneously serves as a telescoping strut. In the case where the compression spring is mounted having an annular shock absorber (i.e., a coil-over or MacPherson strut), the spring is typically held between a lower spring seat that is affixed to the piston, and an upper seat that is usually affixed to the frame. In this configuration, the shock absorber has some degree of movement within the diameter to the coils of the spring to adjust to movement of the suspension. Alternatively, the compression spring can be used independently with a shock absorber, where the shock absorber and the spring are not combined in a unified part. The obvious advantages of a shock absorber and a compression spring working independently are that there are no interdependent geometrical size limitations. The shape and size of the spring need not be determined by the shape and size of the shock absorber. The advantages of combining the dampening shock absorber and the spring are that they tend to take up less space, and the combination would appear to be more effective because the reactive forces are unified. Typically, a suspension system for a two axle vehicle has one shock absorber and one spring per wheel. This is true, whether the suspensions are independent or unified, as in the case of a solid axle. All suspensions share the common feature that when the wheel is positively stressed by a change in the static loaded position by impact with a raised surface, the wheel moves upward to a position where the stress force is about equal to the resistive force produced by the spring and shock absorber. With modern suspensions, the movement of the wheel is substantially perpendicular to the road so that the traction remains constant and there is not a big difference in wear characteristics when comparing one side of the tire to the other. The control arm system, which is an articulating strut or a combination of articulating struts, limits the range of motion of the wheel (and axle where appropriate) to substantially perpendicular movement. The movement of the articulating strut is substantially radial, moving through an arc as the wheel (and the axle in some cases) moves upward or downward. The articulating strut incurs an incremental bending moment as a result of the movement of the wheel. The movement of the wheel produces a stress force at a stress point (e.g., incremental from the static load) that is countered by a resistance force at a resistance point (e.g., incremental from the static load), where the resistance point is offset from the stress point by a distance X. The stress point is typically designated at the center of the tread width of the tire. The resistance force is substantially generated by the spring, and so the resistance point is the location where the spring, or an extending strut of the spring, is in connection with the articulating strut. In the case where the compression spring is mounted on the shock absorber, then the resistance point is where the shock absorber attaches to the articulating strut. The shock absorber reacts to the bending moments, which in turn causes the spring to react. As the motion of the articulating strut is angular, the shock absorber is usually pivotally connected to facilitate linear movement of the rod through the piston. The piston is typically pivotally connected to the articulating strut, and the rod is pivotally connected to the chassis or frame. This type of suspension is described by Halford et al., U.S. Pat. No. 2,992,015, and is commonly known as a coil-over strut, or MacPherson strut. Muhr et al., in U.S. Pat. No. 4,903,985, in the background of the disclosure examines the bending moment of a shock absorber-spring combination. Muhr et al., reports that others have taught that the further the resistance point is from the stress point, the greater the bending moment. By way of example, if the shock absorber is connected to the control arm X inches from the inside rim of a Y inch wide tire, and the spring is coaxial with the strut, then the point of resistance is X inches, plus half the width of the tire (Y/2) for a total distance of inches (X+Y/2) from the point of stress. If the tire is wider, the difference is larger. The greater the difference in distance between the point of stress and the point of resistance, then the greater the strain, and the greater the bending moment of the strut. In terms of a shock absorber, the higher the bending moment, the greater the drag resistance necessary to move the rod through the piston. To correct for the imbalance, a solution has been to angle the spring so that the centerline of the spring is aligned with the point of stress. Accordingly, using this type of suspension, wherein the spring is positioned between a lower spring seat that is attached to the piston and an upper spring seat that is mounted to the frame, it has been taught to arrange the cylindrical helical compression spring to be offset from the shock absorber axis, such that the centerline of the spring is preferably aligned with the stress point. Vectorially aligning the spring reputedly reduces the bending moment acting upon the shock absorber. In the static loaded state, the piston rod of the shock absorber is reported to be largely free of shear forces, however, the configuration does not ameliorate the problem during the non-static state. When the wheel moves either upward or downward, the spring alignment is lost because the alignment of the resistance point does not adjust for the position change of the wheel. When the wheel flexes upward, the control arm of the suspension pivots upward through an arc. For instance, a one foot control arm deflected 25� will travel through a 5 inch secant. If the angle of a coil-over strut is approaching 60� with respect to the control arm, then a strut that is approximately 1.5 times the length of the control arm will deflect to a more acute angle of approximately 50�. The overall length of the strut will compress about 22%. A spring having a length that is two-thirds the length of the strut will be compressed 33%. A deflection of this magnitude creates a large bending moment on the strut, as it is being flexed through a 25� arc in a very short period of time. Angling the spring possibly helps under static conditions, but because the stress point changes as the control arm pivots, the spring is often out of alignment to produce the most effective resistance, and the level of performance is not as good as it would be if the spring were properly aligned. While the coil-over strut has the apparent advantage that the spring is substantially coaxial with the helical compression spring, it is limited in that the shock absorber must be sufficiently robust to serve as both a pneumatic cylinder dampener and as the strut that transfers the suspension forces between the control arm and the chassis. As previously discussed, the bending moment produced during a deflection of the wheel can cause frictional resistance, which in turn wears out the shock, creates noise, and is a limiting factor as to the force it takes to bottom out the suspension.
In the second type of suspension, wherein the helical compression spring and the shock absorber are independently connected to the articulating member, as before it is desired that the stress forces and the resistance forces be aligned. In the case of independent suspensions, the articulating member is either an axle arm, a control arm, or both. In all cases, the articulating strut traverses through an arc as the wheel deflects either upward or downward to smooth out the road surface variations. What is needed is an apparatus that will provide a spring that will compress or extend linearly, even as the articulating strut moves angularly. A linearly deflected spring reacts along its centerline, thereby producing a substantially linear response to the stressing forces. When the spring is linearly compressed, its coils act uniformly in response to the stressing force, and the spring is not curved, and the coils are not unequally compressed. Since the spring is not curved there is no transverse reaction generated when the spring recoils. The attendant shock absorber provides dampening to vibrations that are aligned with the piston, and is largely ineffective at dampening transverse vibrations, so that when the spring deflects from linearity the performance of the shock absorber deteriorates. Furthermore, since the compression and recoil are uniform, the spring will have a longer wear life.
In a variation of the second type of suspension, the helical compression springs and the shock absorbers are independently connected to a solid axle. This type of suspension is commonly associated with heavy load vehicles like trucks, but it is also used with high performance vehicles, and particularly muscle cars or dragsters where there is a lot of torque. Ford's 2005 Mustang has a solid rear axle three-link suspension. The solid rear axle suspension is robust, maintains constant track, toe-in and camber relative to the road surface, and it keeps body roll well under control. A central torque control arm is fastened to the upper front end of the differential, while trailing arms are located near each end of the axle. The lightweight, tubular Panhard rod is parallel to the axle and attached at one end to the body, and at the other end to the axle. The Panhard rod stabilizes the rear axle side-to-side, as the wheels move through jounce and rebound. It also firmly controls the axle during hard cornering. The shocks are located on the outside of the rear structural rails, near the wheels, reducing the lever effect of the axle and allowing more precise, slightly softer tuning of the shock valves. As configured, the compression springs are connected directly to the axle, inboard of the shock absorbers. The performance characteristics of a rigid axle are such that often when one spring is in extension, the spring on the opposing side is in compression. The Panhard rod tends to compensate for this by partially compressing the spring in extension, however, it does not eliminate this characteristic entirely, and the axle and any longitudinal struts will be articulating through a small rotation. The compression springs will be transversely deflected. What is desired is a linear suspension spring that will compress or extend linearly, even as the articulating strut moves angularly.
The invention is a suspension spring apparatus for a vehicle wherein the suspension spring maintains a linear alignment irrespective of the position of the articulating strut. The apparatus is comprised of a compression spring mounted between a pivoting lower seat and a pivoting upper seat, where the pivoting lower seat is coupled to an articulating strut that can rotate through an arc in a plane, and the pivoting upper seat is coupled to a support element. Typically, an articulating strut is selected from the group consisting of: control arms, axle arms, solid axles, adjustable spring tensioning devices, and longitudinal struts. The articulating strut is usually connected to the spindle or the axle onto which the wheel is mounted. The support element is selected from the group consisting of: frames, chassis, reinforced body components, suspension spring wells, support elements for secondary control arms, and adjustable spring tensioning devices. The support element is static, and serves to support the suspension system, and to distribute the forces generated by the suspension system. The pivoting lower seat and the pivoting upper seat can, in combination, pivot through substantially the same plane as the articulating strut, such that when there is a change in angle of the articulating strut there is a commensurate change in the pivoting lower seat, and the pivoting upper seat. The compensation maintains the compression spring aligned linearly between the pivoting lower seat and the pivoting upper seat. Compression and expansion occurs along the centerline of the spring, and there is no transverse curvature or other deformation.
The pivoting lower seat is comprised of a planar base plate having a front surface and a rear surface, an axial coupling integral with the rear surface, and a retainer integral with the front surface. The retainer centers the compression spring on the base plate. The axial coupling hingedly connects the pivoting lower seat to the articulating strut. The pivoting lower seat is preferably fitted with an insulator on the front surface of the planar base plate to dampen noise, and reduce scraping produced by contact between the compression spring and the planar base plate. The pivoting upper seat is similarly comprised. It has an opposing planar base plate having an opposing front surface and an opposing rear surface, an opposing axial coupling integral with the opposing rear surface, and a second retainer integral with the opposing front surface. The second retainer aligns the compression spring on the base plate. The axial coupling hingedly connects the pivoting upper seat to the support element. An insulator added to the opposing planar base plate of the second seat further dampens and prevents noise produced by contact between the compression spring and the second seat. The suspension spring apparatus assures that the front surface of planar base plate and the opposing front surface of the opposing planar base plate are self-adjusting, so as to be substantially parallel through all angles of the articulating strut.
The linear suspension spring is preferably a helical compression spring, albeit it is recognized that others will work, and will benefit from the disclosed advantages of the instant invention.
An advantage of the disclosed invention is that, unlike suspension spring apparatus in the past that produce a bending moment that is a function of the degree of deflection through which the wheel has moved, the springs centerline adjusts so as to be directed toward the point of stress force produced by the wheel motion. There is no need for a complex curved and/or compound spring, and the suspension can be engineered so as to have optimum dampening by the shock absorber throughout the motion of the wheel. Another advantage is that the spring is substantially free of transverse deformation, which shortens the life of the spring and creates vibrations that are ineffectively dampened by the shock absorber.
The suspension spring apparatus further includes a modified coil-over MacPherson type of strut where, in effect, the shock absorber is also mounted between the pivoting lower seat and a pivoting upper seat. The planar base plate of both pivoting spring seats is fitted with a linkage for connecting the shock absorber. In contrast to the prior art where the spring is mounted to the shock absorber, the spring is mounted between the spring seats. The linkage for connecting the shock absorber to the planar base plate is preferably free moving, so that the shock can move independent of the orientation of the pivoting lower seat and the pivoting upper seat.
It is anticipated that the invention can be retrofitted to existing suspension systems through the proper selection of spring seats and springs, and in the case of the modified MacPherson strut, the selection of the properly sized shock absorber. The invention is compatible with automated suspension features like ARC (automatic ride control), wherein the stiffness of the suspension and leveling are adjustable. Furthermore, the disclosed invention is adaptable to independent suspensions as well as solid axle suspensions, both two and four wheel drive, and suspensions, where the shock absorber and the suspension spring are coaxial, or are separated.
The above stated object and following description will become readily apparent with reference to the accompanying drawings, wherein like reference numerals denote like elements.
The invention is a linear suspension spring apparatus for a vehicle, wherein the suspension spring is mounted between a pivoting lower seat and a pivoting upper seat. The suspension spring is a helical compression spring, and characteristically of helical compression springs, the spring resists deformation from the centerline, as well as from compression. Deformation away from the centerline produces curvature of the spring, so that the coils on one side of the spring will be more compressed and the coils on the other side are more expanded. The greater the compression, the greater the force the spring exerts. Therefore, when the spring is mounted between two seats having substantially planar bases, a compression spring exerts equalizing forces on the opposing seats to minimize the compression forces, and this minimum is attained when the opposing seats are substantially parallel to each other. In the suspension apparatus, one of the pivoting seats is mounted to an articulating strut and the other pivoting seat is mounted to a support element that is substantially static. Arbitrarily, the pivoting lower seat has been designated as the seat that is attached to the articulating strut, and the pivoting upper seat is attached to the support element. When the articulating strut is in the statically loaded position, the suspension spring is partially compressed by the weight of the vehicle. When the vehicle is more heavily loaded or, when encountering an elevational change in the road surface, the wheel moves upward, causing the articulating strut to rotate upward, such that the angle between the support element and the articulating element is more acute. The change in angle causes a slight change in angle of the first seat, and this change is immediately compensated for by the pivoting upper seat to keep the respective seats parallel. The action of the invented linear suspension spring apparatus 10 is illustrated in

LITTLE ROCK, Ark. (AP) -- Arkansas Secretary of State Mark Martin is shifting most of the money he spent from the state's redistricting budget so that the money comes from his own office's funds.
Martin spokesman Alice Stewart said Monday that about $60,000 of the $70,000 Martin spent toward redistricting won't be drawn from the $200,000 that Martin, the governor and attorney general have for redrawing the state's legislative districts.
Gov. Mike Beebe started last week's Board of Apportionment meeting by announcing that Martin acted on incorrect information by spending from the budget without a vote of the three-person board. Beebe and Attorney General Dustin McDaniel didn't accuse Martin of impropriety, but Beebe said some of the money would have to be reclassified.
Martin said his spending was in line with past practice.

Actor Adivi Sesh, who is set to start shooting for S.S. Rajamouli's Telugu period-drama "Baahubali" Sep 29 onwards, says the film will be India's answer to "The Lord of the Rings" franchise.
"I'm really looking forward to start shooting for the film. It's being made on such a grand scale that it will undoubtedly be India's answer to 'The Lord of the Rings' franchise. I'll start shooting from Sep 29 and I have asked to keep aside 60 days from my calendar," Sesh told IANS.
Sesh, who has featured in Telugu films such as "Karma" and "Panja", will be featured in an important role in the film. He has been asked to gain weight for his role.
"I have been asked to gain some weight and also learn sword fighting, horseriding and some basic action skills before I join the crew. It's going to be a great experience," he added.
"Baahubali" also features Rana Daggubati, Prabhas Varma and Anusha Shetty in important roles. The film is simultaneously being made in Tamil, and will also be dubbed in Telugu.
Meanwhile, Sesh-directed Telugu romantic-comedy "Kiss" (Keep it Simple Stupid) is slated to release Friday.
"It's a story about two strangers from San Francisco coming together. The entire story transpires in 24 hours and that's something the audience can look forward. The film's major portion shot in the US will serve as its USP," he said.
Sesh says direction is stressful.
"It's (direction) a stressful job, but I somehow managed do it without much hassles. I'm keen on acting and I don't think I will direct again. I think I found direction easier because of the support of my brother as producer and also scriptwriter," said Sesh.
"Kiss", which also features debutante Priya Banerjee, is produced by Sai Kiran.

I just ordered a Trek Rumblefish, and then went looking for a spare tire mounted rack. I noticed that they all support the bike right where the rear suspension is located. Would that be harmful to the rear suspension? Is there a bike rack that is meant for full suspension bikes?
Here is the bike I ordered:
Here are the racks I was looking at:
Any help/suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

Back in their days, Presidents Theodore Roosevelt and William Howard Taft were known for trust-busting. In an era of price-fixing, crony capitalism and corruption their actions helped to create more opportunities in the marketplace by creating competition.
Our nation's founders were well versed in the lessons of the history that preceded them. They knew of power's natural tendency to escalate into greater power.
So they included the Bill of Rights, based on the notion of individual self-determination.

Designer Bal Chauhan will bring in style statement at the 'Escape' music festival by showcasing some of his creative designs under his label Bhootsavar.
The three-day-festival starts Friday at Naukuchiatal in Nainital and the fashion show will comprise of Nitin's collection that will be a mix of art and fashion, reads a statement.
Bhootsavar is cool and funky in essence, says the designer.

This week's picks column is dedicated to the Big Ten Conference for the misguided welcoming of two football juggernauts destined to add muscle to the league's national image.
In Maryland, you have a program desperately trying to be the Oregon of the east with its colorful helmet-uniform combinations. The only things missing are victories, respect, championships, quality play and wall-to-wall exposure. Rutgers gave us former Indianapolis Colts linebacker Gary Brackett.
Great job, Jim Delaney. Are Wyoming and East Carolina the next blips on the old expansion radar?
This is the week of conference championship games in college football, so I've had to change things up a bit from what is normal procedure without 10 of the 12 Big Ten programs in action. And I'm still miffed at selecting USC last week before it was announced Trojans quarterback Matt Barkley wouldn't be playing.
An asterisk on the old won-loss record, maybe? Yes? No? It was worth a try.
Here are this week's picks:
NEBRASKA 30, WISCONSIN 24 — Supposedly there are 30,000 'Huskers fans about to migrate east to Lucas Oil Stadium for the Big Ten Championship Game. They'll leave happy, get home, rest for a month and then drive the other direction to Pasadena.
LOUISVILLE 27, RUTGERS 20 — The Cardinals have been in a tailspin of late but finally break through to secure an Orange Bowl bid.
ALABAMA 37, GEORGIA 21 — The Crimson Tide want nothing more than another shot at Notre Dame after losing to the Irish by a single point in . . . 1973. Hey, it's as good of incentive as any.
STANFORD 35, UCLA 27 — The Cardinal beat the Bruins on the road. There's nothing making me believe they won't do it in Palo Alto.
KANSAS STATE 34, TEXAS 23 — The Wildcats have had two weeks to do a slow boil over waving goodbye to their national title hopes. The Longhorns, meanwhile, find themselves in the wrong place at the worst possible time.
DETROIT 27, INDIANAPOLIS 20 — The Lions are far too talented to be as mediocre as they've been most of this season. Indy keeps it tight, but can't get over the hump on the road.
CHICAGO 20, SEATTLE 17 — Seahawks looking to go 3-1 against the NFC North this season, but can't get it done in the Windy City.
Last week's record: 7-1.
Season record: 97-26.

My first impressions of Kingston were similar to the impression I get from any large city. Just like Chicago, New York or San Francisco, there was a lot of traffic and a lot of cars and people biking on the side of the roads. Although this was all the same, it seemed that the drivers took a lot more risks than people in Chicago seem to take. There were people on motorcycles zipping between cars and swerving through traffic like it was no problem. I never saw anyone stop this behavior or seemed to get angry about it at all, and I especially did not see law enforcement intervene.
The experience I had at the Alpha Boys' School is one that I will carry with me for the rest of my life. Many parts of my teaching experience made me sad, and many aspects of it made me somewhat angry. The first time I stepped foot on the School grounds I was a little nervous about what to expect. We were given extremely detailed descriptions about what we were to wear: No short skirts, hair tied back, and no cleavage. We were also told we could not bring our cell phones or any kind of valuable electronic device, and we instructed not to take pictures. All this intimidated me because it gave me the impression that I was going to be harasses or my cell phone was going to be stolen. As soon as I met my first group of guys my outlook changed drastically. The first class I ever taught was the guitar students, whom only 3 of about 15 boys on my list showed up. These three boys where the only ones I taught in the guitar class because they were the only ones to ever show up for school. The first thing I noticed about these three boys was how respectful they were to me. They were always polite to me and referred to me as "Miss" always. I should tell by how respectful and disciplined they were that these boys actually wanted to be at school and actually really took and honest interest in the guitar. After just my first day I already had a new outlook on these boys. I would still get things shouted at me and some of them would hiss and us when we walked by, but the majority of them were respectable boys who actually wanted to make a difference in their lives. After I thought about the way they behaved and they way 15-18 year old boys acted when I was in High School I started noticing dozen and dozen of similarities, and at the end I really could find any differences. I remember boys in my high school yelling things to particular girls or even some female teachers, and although they may have not been as vocal about it, they still did it to make their friends laugh or to get some kind of attention for a female, even if it was negative. No matter where you go in the world, boys will be boys, and that's just how it works.
When we first had a tour of the school, I was immediately overwhelmed with sadness and even a little bit of guilt. They showed us where the boys had classes and where the band practiced. There were holes in the windows, the rooms were dusty and dirty, and almost every single door and window either had bars, huge metal and bared doors, or an enormous pad lock. I felt the padlocks not only showed my the lack of trust the administration had for the students, but also told me that maybe a majority of the students could not be trusted. Mr. Sparrow told us that they have had many incidences where people have stolen things from the School. There were two stands for the entire music department, not enough instruments for everybody, broken keyboards, trombones, trumpets, guitars, along with stands just thrown into a pile in the storage closet. They had no sheet music to write a tune, chord or rhythm down, some didn't have pencils to use, and the tiny notebooks they had where falling apart. They didn't have tuners to make sure all the instruments were in tune. Before this experience I took the small things I am so lucky to have for granted. I feel so lucky to have pencils and notebooks, and learn music in a room where I could have 2 stands if I really wanted. I am so lucky that I am able to buy textbooks, and be able to afford a quick run to Walgreens when I need notecards, markers, poster board and paper. After this experience I realized that a lot of people in the world aren't able to have school supplies so accessible to them. I am so grateful because I am lucky enough to have things like that, and I will never again buy a notebook or another set of notecards until I have used as much out of the pervious one. I want to try to make a conscious effort in my life to stop being wasteful and to appreciate everything I have, even the little things.

I have a bike and a Santa suit, so..........
Christmas afternoon Santa took to his bicycle and rode around town. What a blast! So many smiles from people, laughs, and waving. People taking photos with their cell phone cams.
Santa had 4 dozen candy canes, which lasted about an hour. The children loved it! Many came out, running to the road. Momma's came out with their cameras, "Can we take a photo of you with our kids, Santa?"
This may have to become a tradition.
Among the interesting experiences, a lady asked to take Santa's photo, then asked, "So, did you loose a bet or something?" Santa explained he was doing it for fun, and giving out candy to the children. After several questions, the lady introduced herself, she was a reporter for a local newspaper!
Bringing joy to others, isn't that one of the things we should do at Christmas time?

Very very disappointed
By Natalia40 on 12/1/2012
I would say for me it's the worst place!!! They ruined my Birthday. I made a reservation and when we came they told us 15 minutes then another 15 minutes. Then a couple of I minutes so when it was an hour wait and my guests got tired and getting really hungry we decided to leave so we asked how long more we should wait then the host just said I dont know. Even no appology or offering sorry drinks to my guests. They were definitely over over booked. But how impolite you have to be. People count on your service, they make reservations for some important occations and it's just like that after one hour I dont know how long it would take she said. Are you kidding me. I have been going to many good restaurants with a lot of people but never had the same problem!! I have been a client of Wavarly Inn for many years. Have been going to Catch, Soho House, Standard Grill. Never ever was disappointed, ignored and felt like nobody as I felt at Mr Chow TriBeCa.

Why all the bad reviews? This place is great!
By robertoef on 10/8/2012
I do not understand where all these negative reviews stem from. I've been going to Mr Chow Tribeca regularly (because I live close by) and I have always enjoyed my time there. The atmosphere is opulent, classic and beautiful. The food is delicious and when you go in a group you can enjoy sharing various dishes and really exploring the menu. It definitely is not a cheap eat but given the ambiance and food I think it is a common Manhattan-priced restaurant.

Mr Chow
By restaurantfairy on 10/30/2010
Enter Mr Chow, Tribeca and you are struck by the conspicuous, monochromatic interiors where walls are adorned with enormous black and whites of a much younger Mr. Chow. The interiors are dramatic and very cool. Everything about the place feels crisp from the gorgeous white orchid, lit table settings to the immaculately suited waiters who serve you flawlessly. When Mr Chow opened up in the United States in the late 70â²s, his concept was brilliant. He blended eastern food with the western palate and made it very chic. The dishes at Mr. Chowâs are very placid. Thereâs nothing bold or radical on the menu. The food served here is very âeasyâ on the palate and really reminds me of Chinese food in Japan. Everything is flavorful and pleasant. The food itself is styled on âBeijing Cuisineâ which influenced Chinese imperial and aristocratic cuisine. If you are looking for âauthenticâ Chinese food then Chinatown is not too far away for one-tenth the price! However, I think that Mr. Chowâs is worth going to at least once â its just one of those New York places, that has to be experienced.

Mr. Chow's is HIdeously Bad
By LanceFriendlyail on 10/11/2009
Mr. Chow's Tribeca is one of those restaurants that put me in a terrible mood for the rest of the evening. The entire experience is just endlessly awful. Make no mistake: this is a tourist trap, that cares about only one thing: taking your money. As much of it as possible. In exchange, they will sell you dish after dish of what I can only describe as jokes. Food that looks and tastes disgusting. I hated every, single second of this terrible experience and if I can prevent one person from going through it, I will be a happy man.

Im a huge fan...
By rtraftery on 6/1/2008
I have eaten at Mr Chow's Beverly Hills location many times and only recently visited the Tribeca location and loved it just as much. The food is amazing. Some may say that Chinese food is Chinese food, but I greatly disagree. The service is always impeccable and I love the design on the restaurants. It is a FUN restaurant, too. Definitely expensive, so that is why I gave it a "6" in value, because you will definitely spend alot of money.

What's with the hype Mr. Chow?
By wattamelon on 3/12/2008
Decor was gaudy. Food was sub-par americanized chinese food. (Come on... can we get over the lettuce wrap trend already? I'm asian and I grew up eating that since I was young). Over -priced. I love food, and I appreciate the work and talent that go behind a great dish, but this restaurant is extremely over-priced for lackluster food. Celebrity-spotting and gaudy decor does NOT make a great restaurant.

Terrible Service and hidden charges
By RestaurantReviewer on 10/14/2006
I have given Mr. Chow three chances  the staff is very rude and sly. Why does a Chinese food restaurant have French waiters anyways? There is nothing classy about the service - major attitude. The first time I went for a drink with a friend and the waiter didnÂt bother mentioning the $50 dollar minimum food order until after the drinks were prepared  despite the tables being empty he forced us to pay $100 even though both of us had other dinner plans. Another friend insisted we go for dinner so I gave them a second chance. While waiting for the table we ordered 2 glasses of house wine since they didn't have a wine list. They charged us $10 for one and $25 for the otherÂ"house" wine is never $25/glass. When we asked the waiter if it was a mistake he rudely stated Âwe do not discuss prices and walked off. Unbelievable. There are many other high-end restaurants with great food and service in NYC - if youÂre looking for a good experience - keep walking one block and check out Nobu, Tribeca Grill or Megu.
