Thank you David.
But what do you mean about the thread?
Thanks for that. It has invaded part of my veggie garden and I didn't know what it was, although it is common.
I have used a membrane covered with bark chippings in a shrub bed successfully. Shrubs stay where they are put. I cut crosses in it for planting holes.
But some years ago I tried with perennials, I would not advise it. Clumps of perennials increase in size and when they can't then some of them spread their roots sideways and pop up in the planting holes of others. The membrane makes it very difficult to work with. Bark or a good mulch is much easier to cope with, but you will always have to do a certain amount of weeding in a bed of perennials.
Make sure the instructions come with it. If you see one you like look up the make on Google and see if spare parts are available from their website.
Sorry, don't think that is normal - at least mine aren't like that. Have you let them dry out?
Scarlet Emperor nearly always does well for me in the SW of France. Tried several others but they can't manage the hot weather in July and August. If SC loses it's flowers when it's hot then it always does a good crop in October.
Morning all.
I picked my first bunch of sweet peas yesterday and the kitchen is full of their scent.
Here is my first vase full this year. The kitchen is filled with their scent.
Lucky you! Leave out dog or cat food or mince or chopped boiled eggs and water in a shallow bowl, never milk or bread. It will eat your slugs when it's bigger.
So do I, definitely clematis.

I've written a simple and small server application on Windows 2008 that just accepts connections and does nothing else. I am doing memory footprint assessment of socket calls, What I found that each connection (after accept()) consumes at least 2.5 KB of memory. Interestingly, the memory is not consumed by the process that has accept() call but it consumed by a OS process. I believe it might be because of data structures being created inside OS for each connection.
Now, I have two key questions:
Is it possible by any means to reduce this memory footprint (by changing any parameters, configuration etc) ? If yes how ? (Because 2K for each connection would be too much if we planning server to accept millions of connections)
If my server is intended to accept million connections, is it good idea to use Windows 2008 ? or shall I switch to some other OS?
Please advice me.

Potato Pancakes For Two Recipe
Years ago, my grandson requested a special dish to be included in his class cookbook, and this is the recipe I gave him. It was his favorite whenever he ate at our house, so he was delighted. I often still serve it as a side dish - it's a good complement to any entree. -Ede Righetti, Hayward, California
- 2 medium potatoes
- 1 egg
- 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon garlic salt
- Vegetable oil
- 1. Peel the potatoes, shred and rinse in cold water. Drain thoroughly; place in a bowl. Add egg, flour, salt and garlic salt; mix well.
- 2. In a skillet over medium heat, heat 1/4 in. of oil. Pour batter by 1/4 cupfuls into hot oil. Fry for 5-6 minutes on each side or until potatoes are tender and pancakes are golden brown. Drain on paper towels. Yield: 2 servings.

Myra Williams Jarrell, the daughter of the late Archie L. Williams, for thirty years, the attorney for the Union Pacific Railway in Kansas, and the grand-daughter of Judge Archibald Williams, the first United States Circuit Judge of Kansas, appointed by Lincoln, comes of a literary family. All of the men and some of the women on the father's side of the family and also, on the mother's to a great extent, had literary talent.
As a child, she cherished an ambition to write and when occasionally one of her letters to St. Nicholas saw publication, she felt she had crossed the Alps of her desire. Her first real story, however, was written as she rocked the cradle of her first born. The day, when she first saw her "stuff" in print, stands out in her memory second only to the hallowed days of her personal history, her wedding day and the days upon which her children were born.
Since then, Mrs. Jarrell has contributed to almost all the high class magazines and has furnished special feature articles to newspapers.
Some years ago, a small book, "Meg, of Valencia," was written and now, a novel, "The Hand of The Potter" is ready for publication.
In 1894, Myra Williams and J. F. Jarrell were married. This union was blest with four children, three sons and one daughter. Mr. Jarrell is Publicity Agent of the Santa Fe. A number of years ago, he bought the Holton Signal and in trying to help her husband put some individuality into the paper, Mrs. Jarrell began a department headed "Ramblings." Later

Where is Holden Caullfield as he narrates the story in The Catcher in the Rye?
3 Answers | Add Yours
Holden Caullfield narrates his story from a mental institution somewhere in California near Hollywood. He is taking a much needed "rest" from his former life of boarding schools and expulsion.
The sequence of events that Holden narrates from his room at the mental institution reveal much about why Holden is there in the first place: he's depressed, has violent urges, contemplates suicide, and even has physical side effects from his depression like nausea and headaches. Salinger includes details, like Holden's mention of his psychoanalyst, to suggest that Holden's mental breakdown is genuine and not 'phony.'
Of course Holden has his breakdown in New York City. After several days wandering the streets of the city and showing greater signs of depression (loss of appetite, disappearing feeling, loss of sex drive, etc.), he has some kind of revelation in Central Park when he lets Phoebe reach for the brass ring on the carousel. He realizes that he can't be "the catcher in the rye" and preserve childhood innocence.
The rest happens "off stage" but the reader can assume that Holden's parents become aware of his situation and seek help for him. Holden is narrating the story from a rest home or mental institution in California. We know this because his brother visits him there. The story is often presumed to be his session with a psychiatrist.
Holden is in a "Rest home" as he tells his story. His location can be interpreted in many different ways because for all we know he could be at a psychologist. One student in my AP class mentioned a mental institution but my teacher disagreed and told us just because it was a closed space didnt mean he was in a mental institution.

I am married to a film-maker/photographer and something that I adore about who he is and where his passions are, is that he loves to CAPTURE. I too love to capture and between the two of us, we are a pretty great team of documenting all of life's moments. I feel better about time moving and moments passing if I know that I can tuck a piece of it away with me forever in a picture or a film. My son has a blankie, two-ba, that at times feels like a member of the family. We have so many pictures of two-ba and so many silly stories written down that when the time comes and Aiden doesn't need two-ba anymore, I will be okay knowing we captured that season of life.
For Ainsleigh, she loves her Sulley. Recently we were doing a quick photoshoot for something else and before we began, Chris grabbed a few of these candid shots of Ainsleigh cuddling her Sulley.
Sulley & me.
best friends.
I love how he captured their little "friendship". Sulley is her best friend. She loves dragging him down long hallways and cuddling up for a story at bedtime.
I love how he captured how much she adores Sulley. You can see it in her eyes.
If your little one has a favorite animal or blankie, I encourage you to capture it. Write down some memories and capture a few photos, that way you can cherish them forever.
Your little one's blankie or animal will comfort them in these early years. There is nothing sweeter!

Construction on the $7 million Grand Street overpass is scheduled to begin Monday.
Changes will be apparent immediately, as the intersection of Third Avenue and Grand Street will become a four-way stop. Northbound traffic on Grand Street will be diverted Tuesday to the two lanes on the west side of the street, reducing it to one lane in each direction through the completion of the project.
The bridge, which will be paid for mostly with federal stimulus money, initially was budgeted at $7.8 million, but updated estimates put the cost about $6.4 million. Stimulus money will pay for about $5 million, the city of Amarillo will contribute about $1 million, and Potter County will contribute $241,000 to the project.
On July 9, officials broke ground on the project, and city leaders said earlier construction would be completed, regardless of whether Potter County could contribute money to the project.
Motorists should expect periodic delays while the project is under way. They are especially warned to consider alternate routes during Amarillo Dillas baseball games, the Tri-State Fair and high school football games at Dick Bivins Stadium. The project is expected to be completed in March 2012.

When it comes to calorie crunching to lose weight, health experts know that a 1,500-calorie diet is healthier than a 1,000-calorie diet. That's because, in the space of 1,000 calories, it's practically impossible to get all the nutrients you need to stay healthy unless you take supplements.
And at 1,000 calories a day, you're getting too close to depriving your body of the energy it needs for basic functioning, like getting out of bed in the morning and maintaining a heartbeat throughout the day.
But let's face it, if you really have a problem cutting back on the amount of food you eat, a 1,500-calorie diet plan can feel almost as restrictive as a 1,000-calorie diet, so it doesn't really matter which one you try to follow. The truth is, you're likely to cheat, and statistics say you're very likely to fall off the wagon altogether. In that case, I actually like 1,000-calorie diet plans better. There's a lot more wiggle room.
I have found that sometimes the best way to help someone follow a restrictive weight loss diet is to lower their calorie intake but also provide a cheat sheet. We work out a balanced 1,000- or 1,200-calorie diet based on foods the client likes to eat, and at the same time, I tell her it's okay to eat a few hundred extra calories throughout the day, whenever hunger strikes. Sneak-a-snack! Once you get up to 1,500 calories or more in your basic plan, however, you can't really do that anymore or your "cheat eating" will bring you up too close to 2,000 calories. At that level, you'll stop losing and start maintaining or continue gaining weight.
Obviously, this advice may not be appropriate for anyone who is eating for emotional reasons, binges, or suffers from a food addiction, but for the average dieter who is trying to lose those "last ten pounds" or something close to it, this could be a helpful strategy.
For most people, weight loss is 90% attitude. If you're angry about having to lose weight, feeling guilty every time you put food in your mouth, feeling deprived because you can't eat as much as you'd like, feeling hopeless and frustrated because the weight doesn't come off quickly enough, and you allow these feelings to take over, there's no way you're going to be successful.
It's very hard to stick to a calorie-controlled diet, especially initially, while you adjust to new eating habits. You can turn your feelings of deprivation and frustration into something a little closer to pleasure, however, by making the experience as easy and as much fun as possible. Easy is all about following balanced, calorie-controlled menus that include foods you like to eat, and having those foods available so that it's easier to stick to your plan. Cheating, or allowing yourself some small indulgences and planning them into your diet, can be the fun part.
You can't kid yourself. If you want to lose or maintain weight, there are limits to how much you can eat, but it makes more sense to find a way to incorporate reasonable amounts of snacks and treats into your diet plan than to avoid them altogether, especially if living without certain types of foods is going to drive you crazy. The secret is simply to plan your cheating, rather than letting it happen randomly or at times when you're feeling out of control. When you have a plan, you have something to look forward to and you're less likely to overdo it. There's no rebellion involved.
You have to stop saying, "Oh, I shouldn't eat this!" when you know you're going to eat it. Instead, whether it's chocolate, potato chips, or pepperoni pizza, figure out how to include small amounts of "cheat foods" in your diet plan and give yourself permission to eat and enjoy them as part of a meal or well planned snack. Even better, choose healthy versions of your favorite treats, and try to combine your cheat foods with healthier foods, as in dark chocolate-dipped strawberries or bananas, baked potato chips with yogurt-based dip, and pepperoni pie with a large salad on the side.

This invention relates to the testing of optical fibers, and more particularly, to bend testing of such fibers.
Optical fibers are strands of glass fiber processed so that light transmitted therethrough is subject to total internal reflection. A large fraction of the incident intensity of light directed into the fiber is received at the other end of the fiber, even though the fiber may be hundreds of meters long. Optical fibers have shown great promise in communications applications, because a high density of information may be carried along the fiber and because the quality of the signal is less subject to external interferences of various types than are electrical signals carried on metallic wires. Moreover, the glass fibers are light in weight and made from a highly plentiful substance, silicon dioxide.
Glass fibers are fabricated by preparing a preform of glasses of two different optical indices of refraction, one inside the other, and processing the preform to a fiber. The optical fiber is coated with a polymer layer termed a buffer to protect the glass from scratching and other types of damage. As an example of the dimensions, in one configuration the diameter of the glass optical fiber is about 125 micrometers, and the diameter of the fiber plus the polymer buffer is about 250 micrometers (approximately 0.010 inches).
For such very fine fibers, the handling of the optical fiber to avoid damage that might reduce its light transmission properties becomes an important consideration. The fibers may be wound onto a cylindrical or tapered cylindrical bobbin with many turns adjacent to each other in a side by side fashion. After one layer is complete, another layer of fiber is laid on top of the first layer, and so on. The final assembly of the bobbin and the wound layers of fiber is termed a canister, and the mass of wound fiber is termed the fiber pack. When the optical fiber is later to be used, the fiber is paid out from the canister in a direction parallel to the axis of the cylinder.
It has been found by experience that, where the fiber is to be paid out from the canister in a rapid fashion, as for example over a hundred meters per second, the turns of optical fiber must be held in place on the canister with an adhesive. The adhesive holds each turn of fiber in place on the fiber pack as adjacent turns and layers are initially wound onto the canister, and also as adjacent turns and layers are paid out. Without the use of an adhesive, payout of the fibers may not be uniform and regular, leading to snarls or snags of the fibers that damage them or cause them to break as they are paid out.
When the optical fiber is paid out from the canister in a direction parallel to the cylindrical axis of the canister, the optical fiber is bent through an angle, called the peel angle, with a relatively small bend radius as it is pulled away from the fiber pack to which it is adhesively bonded. The peel angle may vary depending upon the peel tension and the geometry of the peeling, but is typically about 30-60 degrees. It is known that bending of the fiber, such as that experienced during payout, reduces the transmission of light through the fiber, and can cause it to fail mechanically.
The processing of optical fibers has progressed to the point that the loss of light energy resulting from a peel bend can be as small as 0.1 decibel (db) or less. It is important to measure such small energy losses in order to fully characterize the fiber, but such measurements can be difficult due to a variety of effects. There is a need for an approach to the testing of optical fibers that permits small bend losses of the optical fibers to be reliably measured. The present invention fulfills this need, and further provides related advantages.
The present invention provides a testing procedure that permits optical loss from bends of small radius to be measured more reliably and accurately than has heretofore been possible. The process is implemented using existing light measurement apparatus, and a specialized testing fixture. The method is reliable and easily used.
In accordance with the invention, a process for testing an optical fiber comprises the steps of providing a bending mandrel having at least two simulated peel point bending locations disposed such that an optical fiber wound around the mandrel passes over the bending locations, each peel point bending location bending the optical fiber in a manner simulating the bending that an optical fiber undergoes when paid out from a fiber canister; and winding the optical fiber over the bending mandrel, thereby simultaneously applying multiple simulated peel point bends to the length of the optical fiber in contact with the mandrel. In the preferred approach, the process is used in conjunction with light transmission measurement apparatus to determine the light loss due to a single bend in the optical fiber.
The design of the bending mandrel is selected so that the optical fiber is bent through an angle that simulates the peel angle at which the optical fiber is paid out from the canister, at each of several locations. That angle is typically about 30-60 degrees. In one design of bending mandrel, the mandrel is formed by machining flat surfaces on each side of a cylindrical rod, each flat surface being perpendicular to the same cylindrical diameter. By selecting a particular depth of the material removed to form the flat surfaces, the angle between the curved face and the flat face is determined to simulate the peel angle. It has been determined empirically that a distance between the flat faces of about 1/2 the cylindrical diameter produces four simulated peel bends of about 30 degrees each and four simulated peel bends of about 60 degrees each, per turn of optical fiber around the mandrel.
With this design of bending mandrel, each turn of the optical fiber around the portion having flat surface produces eight simulated peel point bending locations within a length of optical fiber of less than four inches. A second turn produces another eight simulated peel point bending locations, and so on. With the application of the proper tension to the free ends of the optical fiber, the 30 and 60 degree peel behavior is well simulated, so that the optical loss per peel bend may be more readily measured.
Another design of bending mandrel has an equilateral triangular prism section configuration about which the optical fiber is wound. Each turn of the optical fiber about the mandrel produces six simulated 60 degree peel point bends because of the equilateral triangular design of the mandrel. The equilateral triangular prism mandrel produces two precisely equal peel configurations at each corner, and the high degree of symmetry coupled with the three point contact simplify calculation of the exact curvature of the optical fiber.
After it is wound around the mandrel with a precisely applied fiber tension, the optical fiber may be tested for optical, mechanical, or other types of properties. In the test presently of most interest, an optical signal is introduced into the optical fiber on one side of the portion wound around the mandrel, passed through the portion of the optical fiber that is wound around the mandrel, and received on the other side of the portion wound around the mandrel. The attenuation of the signal due to the multiple simulated peel point bends is determined, and the attenuation divided by the number of simulated peel point bends to obtain the attenuation per bend. This determination achieves greater accuracy than possible by measurement of only a single peel point bending location.
The approach of the invention also extends to an apparatus useful in performing the optical testing of the optical fiber. In accordance with this aspect of the invention, apparatus for testing optical transmission of an optical fiber comprises a bending mandrel having at least two simulated peel point bending locations thereon; and means for sending a beam of light through an length of an optical fiber wound over the bending mandrel, for receiving that portion of the beam of light transmitted through the length of the optical fiber wound over the bending mandrel, and for comparing the intensities of the light received and the light sent. The apparatus also preferably includes means for applying a tension to the optical fiber, and further means for ensuring that the tension applied to the optical fiber is substantially the same at each of the bending locations.
The present invention provides an advance in the art of testing an optical fiber to be dispensed from canisters or the like. It allows careful testing of properties of the optical fiber in payout configuration, without the necessity for developing measurement techniques to be used during rapid payout. Other features and advantages of the invention will be apparent from the following more detailed description of the preferred embodiment, taken in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, which illustrate, by way of example, the principles of the invention.

FIG. 2 is an end elevational view of the bending mandrel of FIG. 1;
FIG. 3 is a schematic view of the apparatus for measuring peel point bending loss from an optical fiber;
FIG. 4 is a perspective view of an equilateral triangular prism bending mandrel;
FIG. 5 is an end elevational view of the bending mandrel of FIG. 4;
FIG. 6 is a schematic plan view of the peel point bending configuration of an optical fiber being paid out from a canister; and
FIG. 7 is an elevational view of an apparatus for applying precisely controlled and distributed tension to an optical fiber wound around a bending mandrel.
In accordance with one preferred embodiment of the invention, a process for testing an optical fiber comprises the steps of providing a bending mandrel formed from a cylinder having two flat surfaces therein perpendicular to a cylindrical diameter; and winding an optical fiber around the bending mandrel.
Referring to FIG. 1, a bending mandrel 10 is formed from a cylindrical piece 12. One end of the piece 12 is left cylindrical. At the other end, two flat surfaces 14 are machined into the cylinder. As shown in FIG. 2, the flat surfaces 14 lie perpendicular to, and at the opposite ends of what was, before machining, a cylindrical diameter 16. The flat surfaces 14 are symmetrical in the sense that they lie the same distance from a cylindrical axis 18 of the mandrel 10.
In the preferred embodiment, the piece 12 is stainless steel cylindrical stock, having a diameter of about 1 inch and a length of about 2 inches. The flat surfaces 14 are about 1 inch long in the direction parallel to the cylindrical axis 18. The distance 20 between the flat surfaces 14 is about one-half the cylindrical diameter 16, or about one-half inch in the preferred case. This dimensioning of the mandrel 10 produces an angle between the plane of the flat surface 14 and a tangent 24 to a cylindrical surface 26 of about 60 degrees, as illustrated in FIG. 2. Each corner 22 between one of the flat surfaces 14 and the curved surface of the cylindrical piece 12 is made sharp (i.e., not bevelled or broken) but also free of burrs that might snag the optical fiber.
In practicing the invention, an optical fiber 28 is wound around the portion of the mandrel 10 having the flat surfaces 14 thereon. A simulated payout tension is applied to each of the free ends of the optical fiber 28, the tension typically being about 50 grams. At each corner 22, the optical fiber 28 is bent around the corner. In the preferred embodiment, the total bending angle is about 90 degrees at each corner 22. However, this total bending angle is equivalent to two symmetrical 30 and 60 degree simulated peel point bends. (The analysis of simulated peel point bends is discussed in greater detail in relation to FIGS. 5 and 6.) Since there are four corners 22, one turn of the optical fiber 28 around the portion of the mandrel 10 having the flat surfaces 14 results in four well-controlled and stable simulated peel point bends of 30 degrees each, and four well-controlled and stable simulated peel point bends of 60 degrees each. There are therefore eight simulated peel point bending locations per turn. In the illustration of FIG. 1, the optical fiber 28 is wound around the mandrel 10 twice, the two turns producing a total of eight simulated peel point bending locations of 30 degrees bending each and eight simulated peel point bending locations of 60 degrees bending each, for a total of sixteen simulated bending locations. Additional turns would produce eight more simulated bending locations per turn.
The bending mandrel 10 just described is used to test optical properties of the optical fiber 28, using an apparatus 29 such as that illustrated in FIG. 3. At one free end of the optical fiber 28, a light source 30 of known intensity, such as a laser, directs light into the optical fiber 28 through an optical coupler 32. The light is transmitted through the optical fiber 28, including the simulated peel point bending locations, which number sixteen in the illustration of FIG. 3. Light leaves the other end of the optical fiber 28 through another optical coupler 34 and is detected by a detector 36. All of the components 30, 32, 34, and 36 are well known in the art. An alternative approach to introducing light into the optical fiber 28 and extracting light from the optical fiber 28 during the peel point bending test is transversely through the sides of the optical fiber when it is bent. This injection/extraction technique is well known in other contexts.
The input light intensity and the output light intensity are compared by a comparator 38, which calculates the light loss due to the sixteen simulated peel point bends. (Normally, the light loss due to losses in the apparatus and the unbent optical fiber is previously determined by conducting the measurement just described prior to the optical fiber being wound around the mandrel. The remaining light loss when the optical fiber is wound around the mandrel is due to the simulated peel point bends.) Since there are sixteen simulated bends in the illustrated embodiment, the loss determined in the comparator 38 is divided by 16 in an arithmetic divider 40, to yield an attenuation loss per bend, numeral 42. In a typical circumstance, the energy loss per peel point bend is about 0.1 db, which is difficult to measure accurately. With sixteen simulated bends, the total loss is about 1.6 db, which may be measured more easily and accurately.
The apparatus 29 can be used either for stationary measurements of the optical fiber 28 in the manner just described, or for moving measurements. In the latter case, the mandrel 10 is mounted in an apparatus such as will be discussed in relation to FIG. 7. In this approach, the optical fiber may be fed from a spool and taken up by a spool, and rotating optical couplers are used.
In accordance with another preferred embodiment of the invention, a process for testing an optical fiber comprises the steps of providing a bending mandrel formed with a portion thereof being an equilateral triangular prism; and winding an optical fiber around the equilateral triangular prism portion of the bending mandrel.
FIGS. 4 and 5 illustrate such a triangular prism bending mandrel 50. The mandrel 50 includes a cylindrical portion 52 and a prism portion 54 that has the shape of an equilateral triangle when viewed in end view, FIG. 5. The optical fiber 28 is wound around the prism portion 54, with two turns being illustrated in FIG. 4. Each turn has six simulated peel point bends of 60 degrees each, two at each corner 56 of the prism portion 54. Two complete turns results in twelve simulated peel point bends, as compared with sixteen simulated peel point bends for the mandrel 10. Additional turns of the optical fiber 28 around the prism portion 54 can yield more simulated peel point bends, if such is required to obtain accurate results in subsequent measurements.
The total bending angle through which the optical fiber 28 is bent at each corner 56 is greater than for the case of the mandrel 10, and is 120 degrees as illustrated in FIG. 5. The bending produced by the mandrel 50 has the advantage of being precisely the same at each corner, in the sense that the optical fiber extends around the corner 56 from flat face to flat face. (In the mandrel 10 the optical fiber extends around the corner from flat face to curved face on two corners per turn of fiber, and from curved face to flat face at the other two corners per turn.)
The mandrel 50 is used in a measurement apparatus 29 identical to that illustrated in FIG. 3, except that an appropriate divider 40 is used (i.e., division by 12 in the case of two turns of optical fiber around a triangular mandrel).
The mechanics of the bending of the optical fiber 28 over the mandrel 50 are illustrated in FIGS. 5 and 6. FIG. 6 is a schematic plan view illustration of the payout of the optical fiber 28 from a fiber pack 60 on a canister 62. The individual optical fiber 28 is separated from the fiber pack 60 at a peel point 64, which is typically a short length but can be idealized as a point of separation. The peel point bending angle A depends upon the geometry of the peel separation and the tension applied to the optical fiber 28. As indicated, the angle A is typically from about 30 to about 60 degrees, and normally is about 60 degrees. The radius of bending at the peel point is indicated as R, and is typically about 0.060 inches.
FIG. 5 illustrates how the triangular bending mandrel 60 simulates the bending conditions of FIG. 6, twice for each corner 56 and six times for each turn of the optical fiber 28 about the prism portion 54. As illustrated in FIG. 5 at the upwardly pointing corner 56, the optical fiber 28 is bent through a first 60 degree simulated peel point bend 66 from one flat face to the corner 56, and through a second 60 degree simulated peel point bend 68 from the corner 56 to the next flat face, for a total bending around the corner 54 of 120 degrees. The tension on the optical fiber 28 is selected to yield a bending radius R comparable to that experienced during the peeling operation of FIG. 7, or about 0.060 inches in the typical case. The combination of prism geometry and applied tension determines the bending radius of the mandrel 50. A one-inch face dimension and 50 grams of tension results in a bending radius of about 0.060 inches, through two simulated 60 degree peel point bends per corner, in the embodiment of FIG. 5. These dimensions and tensions can be varied as required to simulate various peeling conditions.
The present invention also extends to other configurations of the bending mandrel, and should not be viewed as being limited to the mandrel 10 and the mandrel 50. The mandrel may, for example, be made in the form of a square prism, or in other forms to provide other bending angles.
Application of the proper tensioning to the optical fiber during the simulated peel point bending is important to achieve the proper bend geometry and for reproducibility. A tensioning apparatus 80 that produces such tensioning is illustrated in FIG. 7. The mandrel, here illustrated as the triangular prism mandrel 50, is mounted to a mandrel stand 82 by a rotational bearing 84, that permits the mandrel 50 to rotate freely about its prism axis. In the illustrated embodiment, the prism axis is in the horizontal plane. The mandrel stand 82 is mounted to a base 86 on a sliding track 88, which permits the mandrel stand 82, and thence the mandrel 50, to slide in the direction parallel to the lengths of the optical fiber 28 that extend from the mandrel 50.
The optical fiber 28 is secured near one end in a split rubber block 90 against longitudinal or transverse movement. Light is injected into the optical fiber 28 with the light source 30 discussed previously in relation to FIG. 3.
On the other side of the mandrel stand 82, the optical fiber 28 passes over a pulley 92 having a radius much larger than the radius R of curvature at the peel point. The optical fiber 28 extends downwardly from the pulley 92 to a rubber block 94 in which it is secured and thence to the detector 36. A weight 96 is hung from the rubber block 94, so that the total weight of the rubber block 94 and the weight 96 applies a tension to the optical fiber 28.
If the optical fiber 28 were simply wound around the mandrel and the tension applied, the optical fiber at various locations around the mandrel 50 would experience highly variable tensions. The tension can be equalized by moving the mandrel stand 82 back and forth along the track 88 while the tension is applied. Since the mandrel 50 freely rotates in the bearing 84, undue stress is not placed upon the optical fiber 28. The movement aids in ensuring that the tension applied to the optical fiber 28 at the various corners 56 around the mandrel become substantially equal to the tension produced by the total force of the weight 96 and the rubber block 94. This tensioning apparatus 80 also permits the measurement of the light loss at a range of locations along the length of the optical fiber 28.
The tensioning apparatus 80 is preferably used in conjunction with the light measurement apparatus 29 and circuitry illustrated in FIG. 3.
The present invention provides an approach for measuring peel point bending losses of an optical fiber accurately. Although particular embodiments of the invention have been described in detail for purposes of illustration, various modifications may be made without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention. Accordingly, the invention is not to be limited except as by the appended claims.

NASHVILLE, Tenn. (WKRN) – A man who was grazed by a bullet walked in to TriStar Skyline Medical Center early Tuesday morning.
Police told News 2 the bullet is lodged between the skin and bone of his head, but he's been released from the hospital.
Officers found the vehicle that transported the victim on Old Matthews Road in north Nashville, but it's unclear where the shooting actually took place.
The victim returned the scene while investigators were processing the vehicle, which had a bullet hole in it, police said.
The incident is still under investigation.

Remember, no one has grown these new trees and shrubs long enough to know how they'll fare over the long haul.
YOU'D HAVE TO be a forensic horticulturist to figure out which trees and shrubs are truly new this or any spring. .
And yet … Who can (or should?) resist an orange-leafed redbud or the first-ever hydrangea with purple foliage?
Remember, no one has grown these new trees and shrubs long enough to know how they'll fare over the long haul. So keep an eye on them while you challenge visitors to a game of Name That Plant.
Along with ornamental cherries, magnolias are surely the most beloved of flowering trees. The debut of yellow-flowering Magnolia 'Sunsation' amps up the cachet. Big, goblet-shaped, waxy blooms, blushed with rosy pink, open in late April; the flowers turn pure lemon yellow by summer. This hardy magnolia matures at 20 to 30 feet high with an elegant, open shape.

There's great buzz about Hydrangea aspera 'Plum Passion,' and not just because it's introduced by Dan Hinkley via Monrovia. Discovered in China, this is the first-ever hydrangea with purple foliage. It grows 5 to 6 feet tall, and has pretty, lacy flowers. Not that you'll grow it for the flowers. This hydrangea is all about leaves that are large, soft and surprisingly dark.
'Pistachio' hydrangea (H. macrophylla 'Horwack') caused a big stir when it debuted at the Far West Show this past August. It has big, old-fashioned mophead flowers in a completely fresh and eye-catching color combination of chartreuse-green and violet-red. 'Pistachio' grows just 3 to 4 feet tall, so it slips neatly into borders or large containers.
Yews have a lovely, bristly texture, shown to perfection in this new gold-tipped version that grows wider than it does tall. The natural, sprawling shape of Huber's Tawny Gold Spreading Yew (Taxus x media 'Huber's Tawny Gold') works well as a low hedge, or creates a puddle-of-sunlight effect when planted in a border.
Foliage that morphs into wild colors through the seasons is the new, new thing. Like the 'Amber Jubilee' ninebark (Physocarpus opulifolius 'Jefam'), with foliage that starts out yellow and orange, turns lime green in summer, then tints red and purple in autumn. It's a cross between the purple-foliaged 'Diablo' and the sunnier 'Gold's Dart,' and more exciting than either of its parents. Ninebarks are rambling deciduous shrubs known for their oak-like leaves. 'Amber Jubilee' grows 5 to 6 feet tall, and colors up best grown in full sunshine.
OK, I admit to ordering one of the new golden-foliaged redbuds, another chameleon with dramatically changing leaf color. Cercis canadensis 'Rising Sun' has heart-shaped leaves that are apricot-orange in spring, yellow-speckled-with-lime-green in summer, turning butter yellow and orange in autumn. The trunk and branches are studded with little lavender-rose flowers before it leafs out in late spring. It sounds brilliant, but redbuds have the rep for "pulling a daphne" aka sudden death. I consider 'Rising Sun' a research project to be grown in a pot for at least a few years; I'll let you know if this new beauty is a shirker or a do-gooder.

But when I installed a new battery which i bought from AT&T store the problem was solved . I just wanted to know specifically whether it is the battery or the source of the battery . This had became a continuous issue with the Black berry batteries ? So suggest some tips so that the life of my batteries are extended ?

Hi, My name is Tayler. I am a freshman at Fossil Ridge High School, and have been a vegan for about 2 years, Wahoo! I first did it for health benefits, but once I educated myself on all sorts of abuse and cruelties that are present and standard in all of animal agriculture, animal testing, and all sorts of horrible things that happen to animals, I realized that others have to know.
Its wrong to have a world in which we love all of our companions and mistreat and murder our hoofier and feathierier friends.
I started a club at my high school called Fossil Ridge VegAlliance, and have about 50 members as of right now. I have about 26 corporate sponsors sponsoring it right now, and it is great to see the partnerships between organizations and like minded people.
I am working on getting Veggie Burgers in my whole districts cafeterias, and I have a vegan support group that I just started and we have 8 families trying vegan! I also run a facebook group in which I show the benefits of a plant based lifestyle, by posting information, recipies, and cute pictures of animals :) That's just some of the things I like to do.
I have 4 vegan dogs, fishies, and 2 horses (a crazy brother as well) I love my family, as they provide me with support and encouragement, and I am so grateful.
I try to be positive all the time, and love to talk to people, so if you have any questions or need help, I am SO here for you!

The Trust's Saturday Clubs & Soccer Schools run throughout the year at venues in Hounslow and Richmond.
Brentford FCCST Soccer Schools are open to boys & girls aged 5-12 years and focus on technical and skills development. In the morning participants take part in training sessions whilst the afternoons are dedicated to small sided development games. We also have our ever popular Saturday Morning Football Clubs that take place throughout the school term (Sept to July.) Saturday Clubs are similar to our Soccer Schools's but condensed into 60 or 90 minute sessions depending on age group and venue. Again the emphasis is firmly on technical and skills development with matches played in the latter half of the sessions.Promising players from both our Saturday Clubs and Soccer Schools are referred by our coaches to the football development arm of the Trust. Our FDC (Football Decvelopment Centre - formely know as the Advanced Training Programme) has operated for over 15 years and provides an opportunity for talented players to make the first step onto the footbal ladder towards elite football. (See FDC page for more details)Parents should note that our Saturday Clubs and Soccer Schools are open to participants of all abilities. The courses are a great way for youngsters to make new friends and take part in excellent football and sporting fun! Our Saturday and Holiday courses offer exceptional value for money and guarantee your child a great opportunity to have fun whilst learning in a safe and secure environment. All of our coaching staff are FA qualified and have completed their Safeguarding Children, DBS and Emergency Aid certificates.For full details of our Saturday Soccer Schools including venues, dates and time please click here

This review is from: BELKIN R6G050 RJ-45 Inline Coupler
Pros: I have used a handful of this brand and they work fine.
Cons: I haven't tested this for 1gb speed and it doesn't say for Cat 5e so if someone is buying this for 1gb connection, I can't give you my results.
Did you find this review helpful?
Have not tried it, but only Cat 5
This review is from: BELKIN R6G050 RJ-45 Inline Coupler
Pros: Was fair price and came with lifetime warranty.
Cons: Package says "Designed for Ethernet 10/100Base-T and Token Ring UTP Networks". Maybe it might support 1000Mb networks over Cat5e, but doesn't look like from packaging.
Other Thoughts: Should have just bought other "Cable..." coupler which specifically says Cat 5e versus this one which specifically says Cat 5 up to 100Mbps.

I don't know, probably a lot of flaws in that theory haha. Just a thought.
Yes, Sure it's possible if you look it that way in the 2 years Unova got 3 or 4 gym leaders changed and we don't know how much time there is between all generations so it may be possible
Also, where are Ethan/Lyra,Landon/May,Lucas/Dawn and most important Hilbert/Lyra? Those listed players have beaten atleast 9 of all the contestants in the PWT... They are Champions too! (This is yet another reason why I never feel like a Champion after defeating the champ and the E4). The main characters are all Champions but they never get credit for it, maybe cause they don't have a official team but they can just pick the teams they have in the manga... Gamefreak logic
Gliscor is boss. Period.

OCEAN SHORES, Wash. (AP) — An Ocean Shores city council candidate discovered what happened to a couple of his campaign signs that were reported missing.
Police say the John Schroeder signs had been turned around and the backs used to advertise a weekend garage sale.
KBKW reports a 76-year-old man thought he could take the signs because the primary was over. He was cited for third-degree theft.

In the dead of winter, a warm pair of gloves is an absolute must, but removing them for every text can make the whole effort seem pointless. These gloves lay the problem to rest with a set of conductive fingertips, letting you type, swipe, or snap a pic without exposing your digits. Because even the best tweet isn't worth a case of frostbite.
So I received my gloves on New Year's Eve and took them out with me that night. I did not anticipate the weather to get as chilly as it did so I put them on and within minutes I got a few compliments on their style. I was also the only one that night amongst my peers that was not taking their gloves off repeatedly to answer a phone call. I've had several gloves in the past that were designed to allow you to manipulate touch screen devices but these worked the best. Very stylish, very comfortable, and very functional.4
Quite excitedly tore my package open as I lost my previous gloves and was ready for a new pair. It looked fantastic and I love the color! Will take a bit of getting used to because the whole palm side of the glove is covered in the bumps, but I guess it will make steering easier!
One word of warning, and I am disappointed in this. Look carefully at the knit as the pair I got has a big old hole on the inside thumb. It was only noticeable when you wear the gloves. but already cheapened the brand for me. The ends of the fingers does have a frayed look to the stitching used to close the fingers.

BATTLE GROUND — Union senior running back Brandon Brody-Heim put his knee to the test Thursday night, and he passed.
Heck, he aced this test.
Brody-Heim, who returned to action last week, got more of a workload this week, going for 187 yards on 21 touches with four touchdowns.
Yeah, he's back.
Brody-Heim and the Titans rolled over Battle Ground 42-6 Thursday night at District Stadium in a Class 4A Greater St. Helens League football game.
"It's fine right now," Brody-Heim said, referring to his right knee that was scoped on Sept. 9. "Getting treatment every day and I'm getting stronger. I am getting a little faster, and I can cut on it. Every day is an improvement."
Brody-Heim scored on runs of 25, 9 and 21 yards, and later caught a screen pass from Kaben Humphrey-Butler and went 26 yards for another touchdown. In all, he rushed for 134 yards on 18 carries and caught three passes for 53 yards.
"It's one thing to practice to get in shape," Union coach Cale Piland said. "Game shape is completely different.
Part of the challenge is getting him to play four strong quarters of football. He was a lot better than last week, and he's going to be a lot better next week."
A.J. Anderson did his best Devin Hester impression with an impressive 59-yard punt return — the second week in a row he has returned a punt to the house for the Titans.
Union's Humphrey-Butler threw for 169 yards and a touchdown and also rushed for a TD.
Union (6-1, 2-0 GSHL) picked up its sixth consecutive victory. The Titans face winless Evergreen next week, then take on Skyview for the 4A GSHL championship in Week 9.
"Every week, our focus is on us," Brody-Heim said. "We play us every game. We took another step forward this week."
Piland also praised his defense. Battle Ground has been able to run the ball against opponents most of the season. Thursday, the Tigers had 29 yards of offense in the first half.
Battle Ground avoided the shutout when Kevin Haynes hauled in a 30-yard pass from Ian Humphrey to get to the 1-yard line early in the fourth quarter. Haynes plunged into the end zone on the next play.
Battle Ground (4-3, 1-2) has lost to the top two teams in the league the past two weeks by a combined score of 118-6.
The Tigers now have to focus on a chance at the playoffs. With a win already over Evergreen, Battle Ground can claim the third berth to the 4A state preliminary playoffs with a win over Heritage next week.
