Andrew Mehrtens was the one who let the slippery little cat out of the bag.
OPINION: If there was one team the All Blacks hate to lose to, it's England, he told assembled media hacks. His reason was simple. Nobody stuck it to a beaten side after a game the way the English did.
Other All Blacks turn as shy as Bambi, and steer away from similar public statements, but there are actually any number of reasons why England irritates New Zealand rugby men.
Here are eight:
One. The British Empire is long gone, Britannia doesn't rule the waves, and there hasn't been a Colonial Office in London since 1966. So someone should whisper to the people running English rugby that calling yourselves The Rugby Union, and not the England Rugby Union, is really tantamount to having the word "wanker" tattooed on your forehead.
Two. Many will have heard the old joke about a club rugby team so bad they did a lap of honour when they won the toss. To be fair to the 1998 England team the players didn't do that, but they came close. To the astonishment of the All Blacks, England took a lap of honour after a test in Manchester was drawn, 26-all. "It was peculiar," Anton Oliver said later. "They did a lap of . . . what . . . relief?"
Three. They sent off Cyril Brownlie. Yeah, I know it was 1925, and none of us were there, and there's no video of the incident, so anyone who says confidently he stood on a leg is an idiot, and I can't say he didn't either. But they sent him off at Twickenham, the first person ever ordered off in a test, and that's enough to be grumpy about.
Four. Now and again they get good enough to beat us. You can put up with a lot of hot air from a useless side, but as recently as 2003 England beat the All Blacks in Wellington. Worst of all, they had two guys sinbinned, and against just six men, the All Blacks eight couldn't get a pushover try. No All Black has ever known what a winning Irish or Scots team is like, and no All Black for nearly 60 years has had to see how a winning Welsh team behaves.
Five. They've had some dirty buggers play for them. Yes, I know we're supposed to be the lowlife scum on the paddock, but in Danny Grewcock, England not only had a man with one of the worst names in the sport (only rivalled by Ebbo Bastard of South Africa and Jean Condom of France) but a serial head kicker too. He copped five weeks for kicking Anton Oliver at Carisbrook, and six weeks for kicking Dan Carter.
Six. They're sensational hypocrites. Danny Grewcock was awarded the MBE for his services to rugby.
Seven. Their media hacks are lousy comedians. Stephen Jones tries, but, as an English colleague of his once told me, "Stephen's psyche is so twisted the poor man is Welsh, and he's a fanatical England supporter." The only really funny English writer was the dyspeptic John Reason, who leavened his displeasure over all things All Blacks with political views so hysterical it was impossible not to laugh. During the 1981 Springboks tour he compared the Christchurch Press to the Soviet Union communist paper Pravda, and suggested that the best thing about the 81 tour was that it gave our cops the experience they'd need when they later faced the social terrorists at the heart of the anti-tour movement. "They don't have machine guns yet. But they will. They will." I am not making any of this up.
Eight. Every now and again they're so tricky they produce a genuinely good bloke to keep us off balance. Such a man is Bill Beaumont, who the NZRU backed to head the IRB. Beaumont is as unassuming as the day is long. As just one example he tells how, when a buxom topless woman ran on to Twickenham during a test in which he was captaining England, one his players said to him, "Bill, don't look now, but there's a woman on the pitch with your bum strapped to her chest."

Customer Reviews
I purchased this item to represent our wedding day on our Christmas tree. I wasn't too impressed with the black marker with our date written on the front of the box. It is barely legible and doesn't compliment the delicate and vintage style of this ornament. If I could reorder, I would not have chosen to personalize this one. It was perfect as is. Still a beautiful and special piece.

Bed was comfortable, hotel needs updating. Elevator felt and sounded like something right out of "The Shining"
Interaction with staff at check in and check out was poor at best. Really got the feeling they could care less that we were there. Our toilet had a small leak at the base which we understand happens. Nicest person we dealt with was the maintenance man.

A federal jury has awarded crime writer Patricia Cornwell nearly US$51 million ($60.2 million) in her lawsuit against her former financial management company and a former principal in the firm.
The author, best known for her series of novels featuring medical examiner Kay Scarpetta, claimed that Anchin, Block & Anchin LLP was negligent in handling her finances and cost her millions in losses or unaccounted for revenue.
Lawyers for the New York firm and former principal Evan Snapper said there was no money missing from Cornwell's accounts.
They blamed losses on the economic downturn and what they called Cornwell's extravagant lifestyle, which included Ferraris, helicopters and a temporary apartment in New York City she rented for US$40,000 per month.
Cornwell, 56, testified that Anchin moved her from a conservative management strategy to an aggressive one without her permission. She said she fired the firm in 2009 after discovering that her net worth was a little under US$13m, despite having eight-figure earnings in each of the previous four years.
Cornwell said the firm caused her to miss a book deadline for the first time in her career when it failed to find her a suitable place to write after renovation work on her house in Concord went on much longer than expected.
"This was very destabilising. I really lost my ability to focus and concentrate. I did not know what the book was about anymore," Cornwell said.
The lawsuit said the missed deadline caused Cornwell to lose one year's income: about US$15m in non-recoverable advances and commission.
Cornwell's relationship with Anchin began in 2004. Cornwell said Anchin agreed to manage all her money and the assets of her company, Cornwell Entertainment.
The lawsuit alleged negligence and breach of contract.
Cornwell said she was thrilled with the verdict.
"God bless justice," she said. "It's a huge relief and it's been a huge ordeal." She also thanked the jury for "giving up seven weeks of their lives".
Lawyers for the firm and Snapper portrayed Cornwell as a demanding client who relied on them for everything from bringing her clothes to the tailor to arranging care for her mother.
"I'm very disappointed," Snapper said after the verdict was announced.
On the stand, he strongly denied Cornwell's allegations.
"I did not steal any money from anyone," he said. "The money was there."
Frank Schettino, a managing partner at Anchin, Block & Anchin, said the firm plans to explore its legal options, including appealing the verdict.
"For more than 90 years, the professionals at Anchin have built a reputation for honesty and integrity," Schettino said in a statement. "The firm will endure despite today's outcome."
Snapper pleaded guilty in 2011 to lying about the source of 21 contributions of US$2300 each to Hillary Clinton's presidential campaign.
Snapper acknowledged that he knew that the contributors did not make the donations in 2008, but instead they were reimbursed from an account belonging to Cornwell. He admitted the reimbursements caused Clinton's presidential committee unwittingly to file false reports with the Federal Election Commission identifying the 21 donors as the contributors.
Cornwell has lived in the Boston area for the last six years. She is married to Staci Gruber, a neuroscientist and assistant psychiatry professor at Harvard Medical School. The lawsuit alleged that Anchin also mishandled Gruber's finances.

Born in Hyderabad, India in 1936, Baig migrated to Karachi with his family in the early 1950s following the independence of Pakistan in 1947, and settled in Karachi, Pakistan. His wife, Salma Baig is known for hosting programs on PTV and for her participation in the field of education.
Obaidullah Baig had three daughters. His eldest daughter is Maryam Obaidullah Baig, who is a visual artist and also a theatre actor in the United States. She is following her father's footsteps by making films as well. His second daughter is Fatima Adarsh, who is married to actor Adarsh Ayaz and works for Pakistani news channels. The third and youngest daughter Amina Baig works for The News International.
Baig died on June 22, 2012 in Karachi.[2]
He teamed up with Iftikhar Arif in the 1970s and then with GhaziGhazi Salahuddin Salahuddin in the 1990s for the Pakistan Television Corporation (PVT) quiz show Kasoti. He later appeared on a similar program called Kasoti: Master Mind. The program was conducted by original Kasoti host, the late Quresh Pur.
Obaidullah Baig was awarded Pride of Performance (August 14, 2008) by the President of Pakistan for his services to Pakistani media.

I ordered this CD for a friend, as I already have it myself. I listen to it every night while I'm going to sleep. It is lovely music (mostly piano) to calm an anxious mind and perhaps do your meditaions, as I do. It would also be great background music for entertaining, perhaps a quiet, simple dinner for gueats. In these uncertain times, we all need something to restore relaxation and peacefulness.

Jane Webb isn't one of those people who started running when
she was a kid, but she loves the benefits since she restarted her running
career about four years ago.
She's all about being active and doing things that are good
for you, but long-distance running never
really captured her attention and she's found that she can receive the same
payoff by covering much shorter distances.
Jane is a lifelong Chattanoogan who attended Missionary
Ridge Elementary before going to Brainerd Junior High and Brainerd High, where
she graduated in 1970.
One of her most significant memories came while she was at
Brainerd. She and a friend were captured
by a local television station driving down North Moore Road with a Confederate flag
flying out the window.
All was well
until her father saw it on the evening news, but she escaped further trouble
when she said that all she was doing was showing her school spirit since
the Brainerd nickname was the Rebels back in those days.
Jane wasn't really a trouble maker growing up, but you can tell that she's quick to partake in devious behavior when the opportunity presents
She may be one of the most fun-loving people around and she
creates a happy atmosphere, no matter where she is and what she's doing.
She's been active in the Chattanooga Track Club for the past
four years, but it wasn't like that when she was a young girl.
Sports just were not her thing growing up, but she did say
that she had been a flag girl in the Brainerd marching band in the late
60s. She says that she used to be shy
and quiet, which is really hard to believe, but she loves being around people
and she thrives on doing her best to make them happy.
She works for Blue Cross as an Executive Administrative
Assistant and has been employed there for the last 18 years, having started
there in customer service.
She and her husband Dan have been happily married for the
last six years and they have five grown children between them. Her daughter Christina is the one who got her
started running back in the mid 90s.
"We started entering all of these 5Ks back in 1994, but my
knees started hurting and I gave it up," she said while sitting in the lobby of
the downtown YMCA Tuesday afternoon following a long day at work.
"That little running experience lasted about a year, but in
2010, I decided to enter the Blue Cross Miracle Mile on Market Street. I figured it would be easier than a 5K and I
worked for Blue Cross, so that made my decision easier.
"That's where I met Sherilyn Johnson. She asked if I was a track club member and
that's when I decided to join. It wasn't
long before she got me to a board meeting and the next thing I know, I was on a
committee. Then I was on the track club
board," she laughed at the memory.
"Sherilyn was the track club president when I joined and I
think I'm easily hypnotized. I need to
take a class in how to say no, but the track club lifestyle is in my blood and
I've made so many great friends as a result," she said with a serious tone.
Jane apparently doesn't know what moderation is, so when she
got back involved as a runner four years ago, she quickly did too much too
"I ran too much and got too competitive. I'm in the same age group with Lynda Webber
and Susan Gallo, so I was always battling for third place. These days, I just want to run for the pure
enjoyment where I can cross the finish line in a race and be happy," she
Jane has done most of her running alone in recent years, but
earlier this week, she took part in a group run and had one of the best
experiences she's ever had.
"I've always been the lone wolf because I didn't want to
hold people back. I didn't want to be
the last one finishing, but Monday's run was so much fun," she added.
While Jane admits that she has no intention of ever running
a marathon, she did enter a half-marathon in Savannah back in 2012 that almost
did her in.
"I went out too fast and I hit that wall people had been
telling me about. Those last two or
three miles were miserable as I walked a lot, but I forced myself to run the
last block. I finished that run with one
of those fake smiles on my face because I knew they'd be taking pictures at the
finish line. It was my own fault that I
had such a tough time as I wasn't properly trained," she remembered that
painful experience.
So what's next for this bundle of energy?
"Missionary Ridge is just around the corner. Dan and I live about a mile from Bragg
Reservation, so I'm looking forward to that race. I volunteer at a lot of races, so I'm not
planning too far in advance. Maybe I'll
do another half one of these days, but it's not on my radar right now," she
The track club had an informal picnic on Raccoon Mountain
last Sunday and Jane was right in her element as she was the grill master for
hot dogs and hamburgers. She loved being
in that role and says that she's the grill queen at home.
"It was like a family gathering on Sunday as I had such a
ball. I think I could be an event
planner as I love organizing parties and helping to get people together. I just want to be the mother hen where I can
take care of everyone, but it's been a fun, fun ride so far and it's a long way
from over. I can't wait to see what's
next," she said with a smile.
Jane and Dan are active members at First
Presbyterian and that's where they met.
"I met Dan in Sunday School as he was the teacher. It was a super active class of singles and we
were really good friends before we started dating. We had talked a lot for the first four years,
but he went on a mission trip to Kenya and that's when we really missed each
"I think he had to travel 8,000 miles for the light bulb to
finally go on, but we got married in 2008 and have been very happy ever
since. He's been one of the best things
to happen in my life and we have a great time together," she explained.
In addition to reading and photography and getting involved
in landscaping projects around their yard, Jane is also involved in a ministry
at Moccasin Bend called "The Next Door."
It's a one-hour commitment each week where she's paired with another
female resident who's had a tough road and just needs a friend.
"Just being a friend is the number one goal, but these
women need someone who won't judge them for their past behavior. It was kind of awkward at first as they found
out a little bit about me and I found out a bit about them.
"I don't think they wanted to associate with a 60-something
Christian woman because they were scared I'd preach to them, but they found out
I'm not like that at all. It's been a
wonderful experience," Jane added.
As you can tell, life is pretty good for Jane and Dan these
Involvement in the Chattanooga Track Club is but a brief
part of her activity, but what a great time she's having. And if you're ever having a bad day and need
your spirit lifted, Jane is the person to see.
She's a happy person and wants you to be happy as well.
And life in this crazy world doesn't get much better than

Lajos Sreiner ATTORNEY United States Patent 3,438,660 MECHANICAL CLAMPING MEANS Lajos Steiner, Neutral Bay, New South Wales, Australia, assignor of one-half to Robert F. Shaw, Locust Valley,
Filed Oct. 23, 1964, Ser. No. 406,069 Int. Cl. F16d 1/06; B60b 27/06; F16c 3/10 US. Cl. 28752.04 1 Claim ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE Frictional clamping means having a clamping insert which comprises a strip consisting of rows of bars connected and held apart by displacement bars. The insert is wedged between the opposed surfaces of two members which are to be clamped together. When wedged between the surfaces, the insert is stressed, causing the rows of bars to move closer together. The resulting strain energy stored in the displacement bars clamps the members with great force in fixed relative positions.
This invention relates to mechanical clamping means, and more particularly to devices for frictional clamping by insertion.
Frictional clamping by insertion may be employed in a large variety of applications, all of which have certain features in common. Specifically, this type of clamping is applicable to a configuration in which adjacent elements of the surfaces to be clamped are substantially parallel (although the surfaces as a whole need not be plane), and are so constrained that their separation is limited to an amount which will be referred to hereafter as the spacing. Typical examples of such surfaces are two parallel planes or two coaxial cylinders. Relative motion of the surfaces in directions other than perpendicular to the surface elements is not necessarily constrained, and the constraint of such non-perpendicular motion is the function of the clamping insert.
A typical example of the clamping of coaxial cylinders is the clamping of a gear, pulley, cam, or similar object to a shaft. Many methods for such clamping are well known. A familiar method is the use of one or more setscrews, the usual arrangement being the use of two setscrews 90 degrees apart. Aside from the fact that setscrews are subject to loosening by vibration, they have the additional disadvantage that their points, whether cone or cup, tend to burr the shaft; this is not too serious in the case of a pulley, but in the case of a cam the burrs interfere with subsequent adjustments of angular position, particularly where the new setting is quite close to, but not identical to, a previous one.
Another type of fastener sometimes used for the purposes just described consists of a pair of tapered bushings driven between the shaft and the hub of the pulley or gear. While these have the advantage of distributing the forces on shaft and hub over a larger area and thus avoiding burring, and while they do not necessarily require any special machining of hub or shaft, the tapered construction is particularly susceptible to loosening by vibration, since once an axial displacement of the tapered member starts, the frictional force on shaft and hub decreases rapidly as the displacement increases.
Where fine adjustment of angular position is not required, but where loosening of setscrews by vibration is a problem, it is common practice to provide a flat (or two flats 90 degrees apart) on the shaft, permitting the setscrews (usually cup-point) to bear against a plane rather than a cylindrical surface. This requires, however, an extra machining operation. The same is true in the case 0f ice keying, where keyways must be provided in both shaft and hub.
Accordingly, the principal object of this invention is to provide an improved clamping insert.
A more specific object of this invention is to provide a simple and inexpensive means for clamping plane surfaces whose spacing is limited to a specified amount.
A further object is to provide a clamping device which can be quickly and easily inserted.
It is also an object of this invention to provide a clamping device which minimizes damage to the surfaces clamped.
A further object is to provide a clamping device which can be both manufactured and installed at low cost, and is thus applicable to large volume, mass-produced assemblies.
An important object of this invention is to provide a simple clamping device for securing gears, pulleys, and the like to a shaft.
Another object is to provide a device for clamping gears, pulleys, and the like to a shaft without the need for flats, keyways, or setscrews.
Another object is to provide a more satisfactory device for securing gears, pulleys, and the like to a shaft than the tapered bushings sometimes used, the latter being subject to loosening due to vibration.
An additional object of this invention is to provide an inexpensive, neat, and easily-installed fastener for wall panels and the like.
Brifiy, in accordance with the preferred embodiment of the invention, a clamping insert is provided comprising a strip consisting of rows of bars connected and held apart by displacement bars which on insertion by force into a smaller space between two surfaces to be clamped is stressed, causing the rows of bars to get closer, and the resulting strain energy stored in said displacement bars clamps the articles with great force in position.
Other objects, features and advantages of the invention will be apparent from the following description and accompanying drawings, in which:
FIGURE 1 is a cross-sectional view of a typical configuration of elements requiring the clamping of plane surfaces;
FIGURE 2 is a cross-sectional view of a clamping insert, in accordance with an embodiment of the invention, adapted to the clamping of the surfaces of FIGURE 1;
FIGURE 3 is a side view taken along the lines 3-3 of FIGURE 2 showing the manner in which the clamping insert may be chamfered for easier insertion;
FIGURE 4 is a cross-sectional view of another embodiment of the invention which is used for clamping objects each of which has two plane parallel faces meeting at a specified angle;
FIGURE 5 is a cross-sectional view of still another embodiment of the invention for the clamping of a cam to its shaft;
FIGURES 6A and 6B are end and side elevational views of the clamping insert employed in the assembly of FIG- URE 5;
FIGURE 7 is an elevational view of a portion of the clamping insert of FIGURES 6A and 6B with edges of clamping elements rounded to minimize damage to shaft or hub;
FIGURE 8 is an elevational view of another embodiment of the invention adapted to the clamping of an object of square cross-section in a hole of circular crosssection;
FIGURE 9 is a cross-sectional view of still another embodiment of the invention designed for the securing of wall panels in retaining channels; and
FIGURE 10 is a cross-sectional view of a Wall panel assembly using two of the clamping inserts of FIGURE 9.
Referring now to FIGURE 1, a situation will be seen which illustrates in one of its simplest forms an application for clamping by insertion. A rectangular slot 1 in a casting 2, of which only the part immediately surrounding the slot 1 is shown, is to receive a bar 3, the bar 3 being inserted in a direction perpendicular to the plane of the drawing. When the bar 3 rests against the lower surface 4 of the slot 1, its upper surface 5 is separated by the spacing 6 from the upper surface 7 of the slot 1, but is constrained by the lower surface 4 of the slot 1 from motion in such a direction as to increase the spacing 6. Thus a suitable clamping device, inserted between the surface 5 of the bar 3 and the surface 7 of the slot 1, will by frictional engagement of these two surfaces resist withdrawal of the bar 3.
FIGURE 2 shows an embodiment of the invention, clamping insert 9, suitable for clamping the configuration of FIGURE 1. Clamping insert 9 consists of a first plane array of parallel bars or clamping elements 10, of which two are shown, each bar being separated from adjacent bars in the array by a space 11 of which one is shown, such space being narrower than the bars themselves; a second plane array of similar parallel bars or clamping elements 12, of which three are shown, likewise separated by spaces 13, the widths of bars 10 being the same as those of bars 12, and the widths of spaces 11 being the same as those of spaces 13; and a series of separating bars 14 so arranged that they join the edges of bars 10 in the first array to the edges of bars 12 in the second array. Since the spaces 11 and 13 are less than the widths of the bars 10 and 12, each separating bar 14 lies in a plane which forms an acute angle with that of the bars 10 and 12 which it joins.
While, in the embodiment shown in FIGURE 2, the widths of the bars 10 and 12 are equal, and the spaces 11 and 13 are likewise equal, the same result will be achieved with other dimensional relations provided bar 12 is wider than space 11 and bar 10 is wider than space 13.
It should also be noted that, although FIGURE 2 shows two bars 10 and three bars 12, a configuration may be used (as discussed later in connection with the use of the invention for securing wall panels) in which there is only one bar 10 and two bars 12.
The clamping insert 9 of FIGURE 2 will under normal circumstances be formed in one piece by drawing or extension of any elastically deformable material, preferably metal, or synthetic plastic such as polyethylene, polypropylene or vinyl copolymers. Thus, although it is convenient in describing the invention to speak of the bars or clamping elements 10 and 12 in the two plane arrays, and the separating bars 14, as if all were separate elements, it will also be apparent from FIGURE 2 that actually they all form integral parts of one continuous array, and it is not necessary that the array have sharplydefined boundaries between the edges of the separating bars 14 and those of the bars 10 and 12.
In applying the clamping insert 9 of FIGURE 2 to the clamping of the configuration of FIGURE 1, it will be noted from FIGURE 2 that the upper surfaces of the bars 10 and the lower surfaces of the bars 12 lie in two parallel planes whose separation is the distance 15. In using clamping insert 9 for clamping the bar 3 into the slot 1 of FIGURE 1, the distance 15 of FIGURE 2 is chosen to be slightly greater than the spacing 6 of FIGURE 1. Thus in order to insert the clamping insert 9, the two plane arrays of bars 10 and 12 respectively must he brought closer together, stressing the elastically deformable separating bars 14. The result is to exert a force perpendicular to the surfaces 5 and 7 of FIGURE 1, such force being a function of the strain energy stored in the separating bars 14. Such strain energy depends on a variety of factors-the geometry of the array of FIG- URE 2, the modulus of elasticity of the material, and the amount of compression (i.e., the ratio of the spacing 6 to the thickness 15 of the clamping insert 9). It should be noted that compression also results in the bars 10 and 12 in each parallel array moving closer together, the spacings 11 and 13 permitting this motion.
It is possible for the elastic limit to be exceeded in certain parts of the clamping insert 9 provided the characteristics of the material are such as to permit flow rather than breakage. In such a case the clamping insert 9 could probably not be removed from one assembly and reused in a different assembly in which the spacing 6 is greater, but assuming that the bars 14, or parts thereof, are still elastically deformed, the insert will hold in its original position even after being withdrawn and reinserted. Thus if some plastic deformation is permitted, the relation between the spacing 6 and the original insert thickness 15 need not be maintained to close tolerance,
Since the clamping insert 9 of FIGURE 2 must form an interference fit with the configuration to be clamped, it is desirable that one end of the clamping insert 9 be chamfered to facilitate insertion.
As shown in FIGURE 3, the thickness 26 is equal to or slightly less than the spacing 6. While FIGURE 3 shows both upper and lower edges 16 and 17 chamfered, in many applications it would only be necessary to chamfer one edge.
FIGURE 4 shows an embodiment of the invention for clamping a square or rectangular insert 43 in an opening 41 in a casting or similar body 42, in which clamping force is exerted on two adjacent faces 45A and 45B of the rectangular insert 43 and on the corresponding interior surfaces 44A and 44B of the opening 41 in the casting 42.
Referring to FIGURE 5, it may be seen how another embodiment of the present invention can be used for securing a cam to a shaft. FIGURE 5 shows the assembly with the clamping insert 51 in place, securing the cam 52 to the shaft 53. Clamping insert 51 is similar to clamping insert 9 and corresponding parts are shown with the same reference numerals but with prime designations added. FIGURES 6A and 6B show end and side views of the clamping insert 51 of FIGURE 5. The chamfer 61 is provided to facilitate assembly, as in the case of the fiat fastener of FIGURE 3.
It will be noticed that no milling of flats or keyways is needed, it being only necessary to relate the shaft diameter and the inside diameter of the cam hub to the clamping insert 51 in such a way as to provide the necessary interference fit. By suitable choice of material and heattreating for the clamping insert 51, as well as proper proportioning of the separating bars 14, the'clamping insert can be made to accept a relatively wide range of compressions without stressing its separating bars 14' beyond their elastic limits, thus reducing the need for close tolerances in shaft diameter and inside diameter of cam hub. As previously noted, if some plastic deformation is permitted, even greater tolerances are possible.
Assembly will be facilitated if the clamping insert 51 is designed so its inside diameter provides a slip fit on the shaft 53, while its outside diameter is appreciably larger than the inside diameter of the hub of cam 52. Thus the clamping insert 51 can be slipped over the shaft 53, which may be fairly long, but when driven into the cam hub it will be compressed to grip the shaft 53.
Since the clamping insert 51 has clamping surfaces which are quite large in comparison to setscrews, and are more comparable to those obtained with tapered bushings, burring of the shaft is practically eliminated. Where burring must be 'held to an absolute minimum, the provision of a radius at edges 71, 72 (FIGURE 7) and other similar edges provide a simple safeguard.
It should be noted that the clamping insert 51 can easily be removed by driving it from the direction opposite to that used for insertion. Vibration, however, affects the clamping insert 51 much less than it affects tapered fasteners, since the torque transmitted by the clamping insert 51 from shaft 53 to cam 52 is, other things being equal, a function of the length of clamping insert 51 which is engaged (i.e., inserted between the hub of cam 52 and shaft 53). Thus a small axial displacement will cause only a correspondingly small decrease in torque transmission, whereas in .the case of a tapered fastener a small axial displacement causes a large drop in torque transmission.
FIGURE 8 shows how another embodiment of the invention, clamping insert 74, which can be applied to the clamping of surfaces in which the spacing of individual respective elements of the surfaces to be clamped varies from point to point, provided some constraint on spacing of corresponding elements is still present. Clamping insert 74 is used to clamp a bar of square cross-section in a hole of circular cross-section. Clamping insert 74 is provided with four inner clamping elements 12" and four outer clamping elements 10", the inner elements 12 having their interior surfaces fiat rather than concave and each arranged at right angles to its adjacent surfaces, thus clamping the four faces of the bar. Like the clamping insert 51 of FIGURE 5, this one can be manufactured inexpensively by extrusion. Since the cost of drilling a hole of circular cross-section is appreciably less than that of bro-aching one of rectangular cross-section, a fastener such as that of FIGURE 8 may be expected to achieve substantial economies.
In FIGURE 9, still another embodiment of the invention is shown as clamping insert 90 (with corresponding parts designated by the same reference numbers but with triple prime designations added), designed for fastening sheets of material such as wall panels into retaining channels. Clamping insert 90 unlike those previously described, is designed for insertion in a direction at right angles to rather than parallel to the clamping elements, although still parallel to the clamping surface. For this reason the two edges 91 are chamfered to facilitate insertion, although of course the fastener could be compressed by means of a suitable tool to accomplish the same purpose. The rib 92 is provided primarily to provide a neatly finished appearance to the complete assembly, although it also serves to simplify removal of the clamping insert 90 if this should prove necessary.
In FIGURE 10, a typical assembly is shown using the clamping insert 90 of FIGURE 9. Here two of the clamping inserts 90 are used to secure wall panels 102 in a double retaining channel 103.
As used herein, the term surface element is not used in the mathematical sense of an infinitesimal area of the surface, but rather refers to one of two or more portions (for example, rectangular strips) into which the surface may be considered to be divided.
While only a few embodiments of the invention have been described and illustrated herein, it will be apparent to one skilled in the art that there are numerous other variations which embody its basic principles. Accordingly the invention is not intended to be limited to the particular embodiments set forth herein.
What is claimed is:
1. In an assembly comprising two substantially rigid coaxial elements, a clamping insert comprising at least two arcuate outer clamping elements in frictional engagement with the inner surface of the larger cylindrical element and an equal number of flat planar inner clamping elements in frictional engagement with the outer surface of the inner coaxial element, all clamping elements having edges parallel to the axis of the assembly; the width wl of each outer clamping element being greater than the spacing d between it and its adjacent outer element, W1 and d being measured circumferentially along the inner surface of the larger coaxial element; each inner clamping element being 50 disposed that a radius through a point midway between its edges passes through a point midway between two outer clamping elements; the width W2 of each inner clamping element, measured circumferentially along the outer surface of the inner coaxial element, being at least equal to the distance d; and substantially planar straight elastically deformable separating elements connecting each edge of each inner clamping elements to the nearest respective edge of an outer clamping element and forming respective sharply defined acute angles therewith, each inner clamping element being thus connected to two adjacent outer clamping elements.

Ellen DeGeneres Says Coming Out Gay Was Hard But She Has No Regrets
Christian conservative and Colorado
House hopeful Gordon "Dr. Chaps" Klingenschmitt has declared
judges who rule in favor of gay marriage "domestic enemies."
On his web show, Pray in Jesus Name
Project, Klingenschmitt called on Congress to impeach such judges.
"This is way beyond the point where
it's gotten out of hand," Klingenschmitt
said of recent rulings knocking down all or part of state bans
enacted in Ohio, Kentucky, Utah, Texas, Virginia and Oklahoma. "The
lawlessness on the federal bench requires a house cleaning. We need
a new president to appoint new judges. But until that happens, we
MUST pressure Congress to intervene."
"Christians do not lose their right
to vote simply because they are religious. These lawless judges
replace Democracy with dictatorship, abrogate the U.S. Constitution,
flaunt the laws of God and nature, assume jurisdiction they don't
have, and overturn the overwhelming vote of good people. May God
have mercy on these tyrants' souls, when they are judged in
"There is no mention of sexual
orientation in the Constitution, and any judge who imagines one is a
domestic enemy of the Constitution, and should be impeached and
removed from office. We must demand Congress hold the line, and
protect the traditional definition of marriage federally, like the
Oklahoma people did by state."

Sin and Sorrow
Marion Croslydon
This book is available for download with iBooks on your Mac or iOS device, and with iTunes on your computer. Books can be read with iBooks on your Mac or iOS device.
O-negative is Marie Aberdein's favorite treat and she hates herself for it.
But she hates the MacLeod Vampire Hunters even more. They stole everything from her. Twice. The first time, on the night of the Battle of Culloden, the Hunter killed her husband and their child. Marie has survived the last two centuries hidden away with the man she calls Father, keeping their vow never to feed from humans. But the latest Hunter—the direct descendant of her husband's murderer—doesn't care about their good intentions. All he wants is for their ashes to blow away in the wind, so he tracks them down and burns the only family she has left.
Payback is long overdue. Marie has escaped the MacLeods' clutches and she intends to make this lease of life count. Merely digging her fangs into the Hunter won't do. She'll take everything he holds dear, starting with his heir, History undergrad and rugby-playing Gabriel. Once she has Gabriel in the palm of her hand, she'll rip out the boy's heart. And make his father watch.
Only Gabe is more angel than demon. His heart is warm, his soul loyal. He makes Marie feel like the girl she has never had the chance to be. A girl who wants to laugh, flirt, and be kissed. But allowing their love to kindle will clash against the beliefs that make them who they are. When Gabriel becomes the next Hunter at twenty-one, Marie will be one of the creatures he is destined to slaughter. And loving him means giving up her vendetta against his father—something she won't do.
Sin and Sorrow is a New Adult paranormal romance set at St. Andrews University in modern-day Scotland.
Customer Reviews
A not so ordinary vampire tale
I received this ARC in exchange for an honest review from NetGalley.
I'm a huge fan of Vampire stories but it seems there are so many out there with the same old tired storyline. I'm very happy to say this is not one of them. This author kept me engaged in the tale she wove from beginning to end with its unique and original storyline. It was interesting to see Marie start out with nothing but hate and revenge as her motivation that turns to love and devotion to Gabriel, the son of her enemy. I also enjoyed the fact that both male and female leads where strong, independent characters and yet they still meshed cohesively. If your looking for a unique vampire tale, this is the book for you.
A dark and sexy paranormal romance
I received a free copy of this book from IndieSage PR in exchange for my honest review.
Sin and Sorrow is the story of a vampire named Marie Aberdein who lost her husband to the MacLeod Vampire Hunters. This tragic event leads to the premature birth and death of her son. Two centuries later the vampire hunters strike again and kill what family she has left. Upon losing the man she calls Father, Marie seeks revenge against the MacLeods. Marie's plan includes getting close to the children of the current MacLeod hunter. This leads to unexpected feelings and what some might call a forbidden romance.
This was my first book from author Marion Croslydon, and it did not disappoint! The fact this is vampire tale set in Scotland was enough to grab my attention. Croslydon's writing and story is what kept it. The book was filled with suspense, romance, and action. I cannot wait to read whatever Croslydon publishes next!

text: Home > Business Tourist arrivals hit all-time high 1.15M in Q1 ABS-CBN News Posted at May 08 2012 05:24 PM | Updated as of May 09 2012 06:13 AM Share Facebook Twitter GPlus LinkedIn Pinterest MANILA, Philippines - The Philippines attracted 1.148 million tourists in the first three months of 2012, an all-time high according the Department of Tourism (DOT). This represented a 16% growth from the 989,501 tourist arrivals during the same period last year. Tourism Secretary Ramon R. Jimenez, Jr. said the Philippines is on track to achieve its full-year target of 4.6 million tourist arrivals. "During this period, visitors to the Philippines increased by 16 percent to hit almost 1.15 million. From this record, we have now achieved 25 percent of our international visitor target of 4.6 million for this year," he said, in a statement. "We see no reason why we won't hit our target of 4.6 M this year." Koreans are still the top tourists to the country, accounting for 23% of the total tourist arrivals. In the first quarter, 265,031 Koreans visited the country, a 16% increase from year-ago figures. The US market, which accounts for 15.64% of the total arrivals, grew by 6.35% to 179,561 visitors in the first quarter of 2012. There were 104,558 Japanese visitors during the January to March period, growing by 3.85% compared to last year. There was double-digit growth in the number of Chinese and Taiwanese tourists to the country. The number of Chinese tourists grew by 77.53% to 96,455 in the first quarter period, while Taiwanese tourists jumped by 37.49% to 57,745 this year. There was also a steady stream of tourists from fast-growing markets such as Australia (47,651 arrivals); Canada (36,517); Singapore (35,975); United Kingdom (31,700); Hongkong (28,800); Malaysia (24,327); and Germany (21,106). Overseas Filipinos accounted for 4.65% of the total tourist arrivals with 53,404, a 4.98% increase from year-ago figures. The DOT is hoping its campaign "It's More Fun in the Philippines" would further boost tourism figures this year. "The world is now starting to see that 'It's More Fun in the Philippines' is not just a bunch of words on a streamer. It is a competitive argument for choosing the Philippines as one of the world's top tourist destinations. Philippine tourism is poised to surge forward as we receive a steady increase of tourist arrivals, as seen in the first quarter of this year," Jimenez said.

A Long Hot Summer
by Masta Ace
- Record Label: Yosumi / M3
- Release Date: Aug 3, 2004
- Summary: 9th Wonder is among the producers on the veteran Brooklyn MC's fifth full-length (rumored to be his last), a prequel to previous disc ?Disposable Arts.' Guests include Rahzel, Jean Grae and The Beatnuts.
- Record Label: Yosumi / M3
- Genre(s): Rap
- More Details and Credits »
Score distribution:
Positive: 9 out of 10
Mixed: 1 out of 10
Negative: 0 out of 10
Shorter than its predecessor, it is also a more cohesive and even effort, making Ace and Brooklyn the focal points of this hour plus narrative told in the now trademark laid-back manner.
VibeThough his singles may not rule radio, as far as full-lengths go, this is how it should be done. [Sep 2004, p.233]
Wise beyond his decades, Masta Ace stands at the altar with lyrical depth as his bride.
Unfortunately, A Long Hot Summer starts slowly. In fact, when you cop this album, do yourself a favor and skip the first five tracks.
UrbThe record falters only when Ace recounts a gangster parable about shady dealings with a certain Fats Belvedere. [Sep 2004, p.116]
His new album isnt quite as good as Disposable Arts, but its similarly engaging--he is both confident and insecure, and this incongruity defines his music.
Score distribution:
Positive: 6 out of 6
