1. Field of the Invention
The present invention relates to a roller slide or slide, particularly for descending in unsteered vehicles, such slide comprising straight sections and circular-arc-sections, when viewed from the top, the cross-section of the track sections being of curved configuration.
2. Description of the Prior Art
A slide of the afore-mentioned kind has, for example, been described in AT-PS No. 323,625 and is generally made of straight and circular-arc structural elements. The straight and circular-arc structural member have a sliding surface of circular-arc cross-section. The cross-section of a structural element having the shape of a circular arc, when viewed from the top, has been illustrated in DGM No. 7 239 729. As further shown therein, the slide is banked on the outer sides of the curves. The vehicles used on such slides are generally sleds gliding on skids, and cars rolling on wheels have also been suggested.
The configuration of such tracks has proved unsatisfactory in various aspects. The vehicle may turn over, particularly when unskilled passengers drive into curves which are circularly arced, when viewed from the top. When driving out of the curves, a lurching movement of the vehicle may be ovserved.
It is, therefore, the object of this invention to improve a slide of the above-described kind in that a vehicle, particularly an unsteered or not voluntarily steered vehicle moves without lateral forces on a theoretically correct, 3-dimensional track. It should, thus, be avoided, even in case of driving errors, that the vehicle is thrown off the slide or turns over. A person sitting on the vehicle should be able to descend harmonically without lurching, regardless of speed.
It is known that the ideal trajectory of a vehicle turning from a straight line into a curve is a clothoid, as the centrifugal force does not suddenly increase in such case. This has for a long time been taken into account in road and railway construction.
It is by no means trivial to apply the experience of road- and railway construction in the construction of roller slides. Here, vehicles arriving at the end of a straight section of the track at entirely different speeds should move into the circular-arc track section at the right height and tangentially thereto, and vehicles moving out of the circular-arc track section at different speeds should be directed into the following straight section of the track. Prior art bobsled- and toboggan rides have made almost no suggestion for the solutation of this task as such rides have been deliberately constructed in such a manner that an ideal trajectory is only obtained by steering the vehicle.
According to the invention, clothoid-shaped trajectories are provided for different running speeds by combining track sections of elliptic and circular-arc cross-sections, such cross-sections as such being well known in the art.
Hence, the invention is characterized in that the sliding surface at the outer side of the curve has in the clothoid-shaped intermediate region between the straight and the circular-arc slide sections a continuously changing cross-sectional shape, such cross-sectional shape being at one end a quarter of an ellipse corresponding to the cross-sectional shape of the straight slide section and the ratio between the major and minor semi-axes of the ellipse continuously decreasing towards the other end.
The slide according to the invention shall ensure that vehicles which may run at different speed are directed through the curves without lateral forces. By means of such track profile, the inclined position of the vehicle continuously increases so that at any speed the resultant of the weight and the centrifugal force of the loaded vehicle runs normally to the tangent to the track.
The vehicle descends continuously in the final section of the curve and slides without jerks into the adjacent straight track section.
It is preferably provided that the cross-section of the sliding surface of an intermediate region at the joint with a straight track section is half an ellipse divided at its substantially horizontal major axis, and that preferably the major axis is twice as long as the minor axis.
This cross-section which continues in the straight sections has proved particularly advantageous in that lurching of the vehicle caused by driving errors are quickly stabilized after curves as the vehicle uses up a considerable amount of energy, when approaching the verge of the track.
In order to avoid thermal deformation, the roller slide preferably consists of a number of channel-shaped structural elements connected to one another at their joints and supported at the joints by rigidly anchored struts.
Such slides for descending in sliding sleds or the like have, for example, been described in AT-PS No. 323.625. Each structural element is downwardly crimped on its upper joint, the lower end of the adjacent structural member resting on the crimped portion. Further, each structural element is immediately below its upper joint supported by two struts arranged in a transverse plane and engaging below shoulder-shaped marginal arcs. Such loose arrangement at the joints of the structural elements however has not proved satisfactory.
The present invention suggests a rigid connection at the joints of the structural elements allowing, however, a thermally induced movement of the elements.
Preferably the channel-shaped structural elements are provided at their joints with flanges extending from the convex side. The flanges are linked to one another by means of screws or the like, whereby an expansion gap is left between the flanges. The flanges further rest against the screws or the like and against plates through which the screws or the like extend by means of rubber-elastic cushions. Hence, the structural elements are unreleasably connected to one another without impeding changes in the length of the structural elements which are caused by changes in temperature.
The expansion gap is smallest at maximum temperatures and grows, when the structural elements cool off, whereby the cushions always ensure that the ends of the structural members are held tightly.
In a preferred embodiment the screws or the like are clamped against rigid spacer sleeves, spacing two disks from each other and penetrating the flanges in bores, the rubber-elastic cushions being arranged between the disks and the flanges. Such arrangement has the advantage that the dimension of the expansion gap is always the same and is independent of the skill of the fitters.
It is of particular advantage, if the channel-shaped structural elements are fastened to the struts by means of the screws or the like connecting the flanges. Hence, each strut carries two structural members and ensures the exact arrangement of their ends. This is not the case if the structural elements are supported at the bent longitudinal edges as, for example, described in AT-PS No. 323.625.
There the structural elements comprise a central trough-shaped member, upwardly arced members lying adjacent on both sides and adjacent thereto downwardly inclined side faces. Tube members are arranged underneath the shoulders of the structural elements obtained in the afore-described manner. Height-adjustable struts fixed to ties engage the tube members. This structure has the disadvantage that the substructure, particularly the construction of the ties, requires relatively precise and time consuming operations as their positions have to be precisely adapted to the curvature and position of the slide elements. The same disadvantage occurs if the structural elements are directly fastened to the ground by means of bolts, as described in DE-OS No. 2 731 837.
Regarding the mounting of the slide elements, it has already been suggested to fasten a supporting structure extending transversely to the longitudinal axis of the slide element to one single height-adjustable strut, the supporting structure engaging below the shoulders of the slide elements. In such case, the substructure requires less work but it is still required to arrange the strut precisely in the set path of the slide.
The present invention, however, preferably employs a strut which substantially reduces the time- and work consuming measurements required before the anchoring of the strut in the ground.
It is, therefore, provided that the supporting structure comprises a supporting member movable transversely to the longitudinal axis of the slide element and pivotally mounted on the strut on gimbals. Arms that carry the slide elements and are pivotable around the longitudinal axis of the supporting member are fastened to the ends of the supporting member.
By means of such struts it is possible to provisionally fasten the height-adjustable strut, which is substantially centrally and vertically arranged, in the longitudinal axis of the slide element in the ground and to adapt then the supporting structure precisely to the pre-set path of the slide. If the position of the strut is changed because of movements of the slope, such changes can be easily compensated.
In the following an embodiment of the invention will be described in greater detail with reference to the accompanying drawings, without being limited thereto, and wherein thereto.
FIG. 1 is a diagrammatic top view illustrating the structural elements of the slide of the invention,
FIG. 2 is a perspective view of a slide with intermediate regions between straight slide sections and circular-arc slide sections, such intermediate region being clothoid-shaped in top view,
FIG. 3 is a cross-sectional view of an intermediate region at the joint with a straight slide section,
FIG. 4 is a cross-sectional view of the intermediate region substantially in the longitudinal center thereof,
FIG. 5 is a cross section of the intermediate region at a joint with a slide section having the shape of a circular arc in top view,
FIG. 6 is a graph showing the curvature of the slide according to the invention between two straight slide sections including an angle,
FIG. 7 is a graph showing the inclined path of a vehicle sliding through the curve,
FIG. 8 is a partial side view of a part of the structural elements of the slide,
FIG. 9 is a front view of one such structural element and a strut supporting the element,
FIG. 10 is a longitudinal sectional view of two structural elements connected to each other at their joints, and
FIG. 11 is a sectional view according to FIG. 10 of the contact point of a strut.
FIG. 1 shows a top view of a slide consisting of a number of structural elements and built on a slope seen in a direction normal to the plane of the slope. The structural elements may obviously also be curved normally to the plane of the slope in order to follow a natural shape of the slope. Such curvatures are, however, generally achieved with structural elements which are straight in top view.
When viewed from the top, the slide comprises straight slide sections G, circular-arc slide sections K10 and K20 and intermediate arcs U1 and U2. The intermediate arcs U1 and U2 are arranged between the circular-arc slide sections K and the straight slide sections G and are curves substantially in the shape of a clothoid.
When running on the slide, e.g. in a vehicle rolling on wheels, the centrifugal force continuously increases, when moving into the intermediate arcs U1 and U2, until the arced slide sections K10 or K20 are reached. Here, the centrifugal force remains constant, whereas it continuously decreases in the intermediate arcs, when sliding out of the curves. If, as illustrated, circular-arc slide sections of different radii of curvature are employed, e.g. the slide sections K20 with a radius of curvature of 20 meters and the slide sections K10 with a radius of curvature of 10 meters, four differently curved intermediate arcs will be required. Two mirror-inverted intermediate arcs U1 allowing the connection between the straight slide sections and the arced slide sections K20 and two mirror-inverted intermediate arcs U2 providing the connection between the intermediate arcs U1 and the sections K10 have to be provided. The radii of curvature of the intermediate arcs can easily be determined as the arc length L is preset, and the clothoid parameter A is worked out according to the law L=A2 /R.
It is obvious that any sequence of curves may be formed by combining the afore-described structural elements as required.
In the oblique view of a slide shown in FIG. 2 several trajectories f1, f2, f3 for vehicles W with different velocities V have been illustrated in the curved sections U1, U2, K. Each of the trajectories f1, f2, f3 is substantially a clothoid in top view. Each sheaf of clothoids has a common initial point S which always is positioned at the transition between a straight slide section G and an intermediate region U as the trajectories f1, f2, f3 coincide in one trajectory f in the straight slide sections G. In the circular-arc slide sections K, the trajectories f1, f2, f3 run parallel to one another.
FIG. 3 shows the cross-section of the intermediate arc U1 at the point of contact with the straight slide sections G. Such cross section is half an ellipse divided at its horizontal major axis b, the major axia b being about twice as long as the minor axis a. This cross-section also provides an optimal track profile for the straight slide sections as the curvature in the main track region is substantially constant, whereas any lurching movements of the vehicle W are quickly stabilized as the vehicle is forced to mount when approaching the verge of the slide.
As can be seen in FIG. 2, the elliptic parameters a and b of the sliding surface directed towards theouter side of the curve continuously change with the decreasing radius of curvature R of the intermediate arcs U1 and U2. The ratio (b/a) between the major axis b and the minor axis a decreases with the decreasing radius of curvature R.
FIG. 4 shows a cross-sectional view of the slide at the end of the intermediate arc U1, an intermediate arc U2 or a circular-arc slide section K20 lying adjacent thereto.
The ratio (b/a) of the semi-axes of the ellipse has decreased. The resultant P from the weight g of the vehicle and the centrifugal force F, which is expressed in the relation (MV2 /R), extends through the point M, M being the mass of the vehicle, V being the velocity of the vehicle W and R the radius of curvature of the clothoid at point M in top view. The tangent t1 to point M is at an angle β with a horizontal line, angle β corresponding to the angle between the resultant P and the line of force of the weight g, i.e. the inclined position. No transverse forces occur as the resultant P extends vertically to the tangent t1 at point M of the trajectory. Hence, the coordinates (x, z) of point M of the trajectory have the following values in each area of cross section, the origin O lying at the lowest point of the area of cross section:
x (absciss)=b�sin δ
z (ordinate)=a�(1-cos δ)
It is defined that: tan δ=(b/a)�tan β�(1/L), and tan β=(V2 /127R)
Herein are as follows:
b=large semi-axis of the ellipse
a=small semi-axis of the ellipse
β=angle between the resultant P at point M and the gravity g (inclined position of the vehicle)
δ=angle of inclination of a tangent t2 at a point T of the external osculatory circle k to the ellipse with the radius b, point T having the ordinate z
l=length of the clothoid from the initial point S to the point M
L=length of the clothoid-shaped intermediate region U
V=velocity in km/h
R=radius of curvature of the clothoid at M
In front view, each trajectory f1, f2, f3 in the intermedate region U is the ascending branch of a sine curve starting at the initial point S at O. The ordinate z of each point M of a trajectory f1, f2, f3 in the intermediate region U is, therefore, defined by the following function of the sine curve:
z=(Z/2)�{1+sin [π rad ((1/L)-1/2)]}
Z is the maximal height of the trajectory f1, f2 , f3 at the transition to the circular-arc slide section K10, K20 �1 and L are as above-indicated.
FIG. 5 shows the cross-section at the joint between the intermediate arc U2 and the slide section K10 which is circularly arce-shaped in top view, the radius of curvature of K10 being smaller than the radius of curvature of the slide section K20. Here, the ratio between the major axis b and the minor axis a is such that the sliding surface is circularly arce-shaped in cross-section. The circular-arc cross-section of the sliding surface is preferably chosen for those circular-arc slide sections K10 whose radius of curvature is a minimum. The slide section K20 has a greater radius of curvature R20, therefore, the cross-sectional shape is one quarter of an ellipse.
It is, however, also possible to provide those circular-arc slide sections having a small radius which are repeatedly required in the course of a slide with the circular-arc cross-section of the sliding surface. An individual slide section in which an even smaller radius of curvature of the circular-arc slide section is required could in such case have again a cross-sectional shape of one quarter of an ellipse, the ratio (b/a) being smaller than 1, i.e. the semi-axis b of the ellipse being shorter than the semi-axis a of the ellipse. Before and after such slide section K<10 a further intermediate arc has to be arranged, the cross-sectional shape of such intermediate arc continuously changing from a circular arc at one end to one quarter of an ellipse, (b/a)<1at the other end.
In the embodiment illustrated in FIG. 5 of the circular-arc cross-section, the resultant P from the wieght g and the centrifugal force F extends vertically to the tangent t1 to the sliding surface at point M, the angles β and δ being equal and the tangents t1 and t2 (tangent to the point T of the osculatory circle, point T having the same ordinate z) coincide. The above-indicated formula for tan δ is in such case reduced to tan δ=tan βV2 /127R. As already mentioned, the ratios (b/a)=1, (1/L)=1, as the length 1 corresponds from the initial point to the point M to the total length L of the clothoids.
Depending on the sliding speed, the vehicle W moves on a trajectory f1, f2, f3 being free of transverse forces, the cross-sectional profile of the sliding surface in the intermediate regions U according to the invention ensuring that the centrifugal force as well as the inclined position of the vehicle continuously change, when the vehicle slides into the curves and out of the curves.
FIG. 6 shows the radius of curvature R of the slide between two straight slide sections including an angle, whereas FIG. 7 shows that the inclined position of the vehicle W is continuously changed, when sliding through the intermediate arcs U1 and U2 at different speeds V1 and V2. This phenomenon can also be observed with respect to the centrifugal force. In FIG. 6 as well as in FIG. 7, the slide length B (in m) is the abscissa.
The section illustrated in FIG. 8 shows that the slide comprises a number of self-supporting, channel-shaped structural elements 1, 1', 1". In such slide passengers can descend the slope either in sliding sleds, rollers cars or sitting directly on the sliding surface, whereby structural elements bent or curved about their longitudinal axis as well as about their transverse axis may be provided in order to adapt the slide to the terrain. The structural elements 1, 1', 1" are supported at their joints by means of struts 3 anchored in the ground 4. strut 3 comprises a height-adjustable stay 31 arranged substantially centrally and vertically with respect to the longitudinal axis of the slide sections and retaining a supporting frame 30 extending transversely to the longitudinal axis of the slide element.
As illustrated in FIG. 9, the straight structural elements 1 substantially have the cross-section of half an ellipse. Such cross-section is of particular advantage with respect to the stability of the structural elements as well as with respect to their guiding characteristics for a roller car or the like as the steeply ascending flanks swiftly damp any occuring lurching movements. The longitudinal edges 13 of the structural elements 1 are bordered by profiled members 14 covering the edges in the joints and compensating any occuring inaccuracies. Further, the structural elements 1 are at their joints provided with flanges 12 extending from the convex side, the struts 3 engaging in such flanges. The stay 31 of the strut 3 anchored in the ground 4 comprises a tube 34 having a nut 35 at its upper end. By means of nut 35 a threaded rod 36 is adapted to be height-adjustably fixed, a cardan joint 37 being arranged at the upper end of threaded rod 36. A supporting member 32 arranged transversely to the longitudinal axis of the structural elements is fixed to joint 37, supporting member 32 being adjustable in its longitudinal direction. Arms 33 pivotable about the longitudinal axis of the supporting member 32 are fixed to the ends of the supporting member. The flanges of the structural elements 1 are fastened to arms 33 in such a manner that minor changes in the length of the structural elements 1 are not impeded. It is obvious that the strut ensures easy displacement of the structural elements because of its numerous adjusting directions indicated by arrows 37 and 38. Any deviations of the stay 31 from the vertical line, as illustrated in FIG. 9, may easily be compensated, and also an inclined position of the structural elements 1 can easily be obtained. As illustrated in FIG. 10, the joints 2 of the structural elements 1 are spaced by an expansion gap d and connected to one another by screws 20 penetrating bores in the flanges 12. The screws 20 are inserted into spacer sleeves 23, disks 24 retained by a nut 21 being arranged at the ends of the sleeves. Rubber-elastic cushions 22 are arranged between the disks 24 and the flanges 12. This ensures that the structural elements are tightly connected at their joints without impeding changes in the length of the structural elements 1 caused by changes in temperature. The rubber-elastic cushions are pressed together, when temperatures fall, whereas the expansion gap d is reduced, when temperatures rise. As illustrated in FIG. 11, the arms 33 of the strut 3 are connected with the flanges 12 of the structural elements by means of the screws 20, i.e. by members 33' fastened to the arms 33.

Could be ignition related. The computer should pick up on whats going on and turn on the check engine light. The computer will store a trouble code that gives us a diagnostic path to investigate. If due by mileage go ahead and replace the spark plugs and inspect plug wires and or ignition coils.
thanks very much.

Keeneland enjoyed near perfect weather for the first under tack show for its sale of 2-year-olds in training on April 10. But the conditions were far from ideal Monday during the second and final preview before Tuesday's auction in Central Kentucky.Heavy rains overnight and early in the morning soaked the track, and left it "brutally heavy" in the words of one shopper, Kentucky bloodstock agent John Moynihan. Officially, the surface was rated "good," but the workout times were slow, and many consignors opted to leave their horses in the barns or just gallop. Only 18 juveniles breezed, and just 19 galloped. Keeneland didn't allow any horses to work on the soggy turf."We learned today that the most important thing is to have the first gallop show to be held under optimum conditions, which we had last week," said Geoffrey Russell, Keeneland's director of sales. "We can't control the weather. Unfortunately, we had a thunderstorm and rain last night. We are happy that we had a good show last week, and now people will watch the videos and make their decisions. Some horses that didn't work spectacularly last week got compromised by not getting to come back today. But that's the nature of the beast at 2-year-old sales. The track today is good, but it's just got moisture in it, so it's slower. When it rains and especially when it's a drying out track, it's slower."An colt from the first crop of champion sprinter Orientate was the fastest worker at a quarter mile, covering the distance in :22. He is out of the 14-year-old stakes-placed Great Above mare Pascali, who is a half-sister to stakes winner Darian's Reason.Consigned by Kip Elser's Kirkwood Stables, agent, the Orientate colt is a half-brother to the winner Noble Place. Parthenon purchased the colt for $90,000 at last year's Keeneland September yearling sale.The fastest time for an eighth of a mile, :10 4/5, was turned in by two juveniles: a Buddha -- Comical Cat colt, consigned by Leprechaun Racing, agent, and an Officer -- Genteel World filly named Lady Officer, a member of her sire's first crop. Lady Officer is consigned by American Equistock.The Keeneland sale starts at 1:30 p.m. (EDT) Tuesday.

Hi all, basically I have a few 19 years old guys with behavioral problems who have a couple of hours freetime. I just supervise rather than teach but I want to try and give them something constructive to do. And up till now a couple have enjoyed the results. Considering my skills are very limited it seems to be going well.
Your advise will be helpful, many thanks.

I stayed in Kifaru House for 3 days in July. After a terrible night in a cold small tent at Wildebeest Lodge it was luxury. The house is situated in a lovely garden in Karen which is a quite suburb of Nairobi. It is homely and unpretentious and close to many attractions like Kazumi Beads and The Giraffe Centre. Run by ANAW (African Network for Animal Welfare) it is a gem an well worth staying in. The staff were great and and most of all I felt at home! Thank you Sam for showing me your lovely little house. I will be back! Oh and I can also not forget the dog who became my best friend.

Introducing Fill and Stroke
Introducing Fill and Stroke
All right gang. True to my promise, we are going to take the shapes that we created in the previous chapter, and we're going to fill them and stroke them and color them in order to achieve a final version of the 260-day Aztec spiritual calendar and to that end I want you to go ahead and open this illustration right here. It's called Ton-po shapes.ai and it's included the inside of the 05_Fill_strokes folder. And of course Ton-po is short for Tonalpohualli and that word that I'm sure I'm just massacring, but where I might have a hard time saying Tonalpohualli or I might be pronouncing it incorrectly, I'm not sure, I can say Ton-po like nobody's business. So let's just call it Ton-po, shall we? It's so cool too. So.
I now suggest that we get a feel for how fill and stroke work and by the way, you may notice that I have gone ahead and added a few more shapes to this graphic here, a few more shapes than those that we created at the end of the previous c...

Universal Has a "Second Sight"
Striving to give big screen treatment to a small screen production, Universal Pictures is in the middle of finalizing deal to make "Second Sight", the film version of BBC's miniseries of the same name starring Clive Owen, Variety has revealed.
Aired in 1999, the original focused on a police detective named Ross Tanner who is struggling to solve the brutal murder of a teenage boy before he completely goes blind. It was also aired in the U.S. via PBS and even spawned a sequel titled "Second Sight: Kingdom of the Blind."
Coming onboard to produce are Angry Films' Susan Montford and Don Murphy with series creator Paula Milne serving as executive producer. Trade adds that Owen at this point is not attached to again play the detective on the project.

What is a good open source implementation of a thread pool for C++ to use in production code (something like boost)?
Please provide either your own example code or a link to example code usage.
We started with Q&A. Technical documentation is next, and we need your help.
Whether you're a beginner or an experienced developer, you can contribute.
What is a good open source implementation of a thread pool for C++ to use in production code (something like boost)?
Please provide either your own example code or a link to example code usage.
I think it is still not accepted into Boost, but a good staring point: threadpool. Some example of usage, from the web site:
The argument "2" to the pool indicates the number of threads. In this case, the destruction of
You might want to look at http://threadpool.sourceforge.net/
It is not hard to implement thread pool yourself using Boost.Thread. Depending on the task, you might want to use lock-free container for the queue instead of one from Standard Template Library. For example,
Good luck!
I've written a small example here. Basically what you need to do is to implement this piece of code:
I believe you can emulate a thread pool with an io_service in boost::asio. You can control the number of threads available to the io_service pool, and then you can "post" tasks to the io_service, which will get executed by one of the threads in the pool. Each such task has to be a functor (I believe).
I can't put an example here right now, but the asio documentation on io_service pools will outline how this can be done.
Here is a simple header-only task queue using a thread pool (built on Boost): taskqueue.hpp
The TaskQueue project page includes a sample application demonstrating how to use it:
This library builds on Boost.Thread. There is a short tutorial with some example code. If this does not do what you want, you could use it as a baseline.
Make sure you are on a Boost version >= 1.37 if you go this route.
An example implementation using the ffead-cpp framework is described here. It provides direct, priority-based as well as a scheduled thread pool implementation. Check it out...

Isaac Winslow Writes of Pope's Day, 1765
Back in 2009 Jeremy Dibbell brought us an account of colonial Boston's Pope's Day celebrations of 1745 as witnessed by Rev. James Freeman, a founding member of the Massachusetts Historical Society. Little remembered today, Pope's Day was an annual festival here in Boston – the New England counterpart to the English Guy Fawkes Day. You can explore the origins of Pope's Day on the excellent 5th of November in Boston website, sponsored by the Bostonian Society.
Today, I'd like to share with you another account of Pope's Day as written by Boston merchant and loyalist Isaac Winslow (1743-1793). In a letter on 15 November 1765 and later incorporated into a family history written by his son, also named Isaac. Isaac Winslow, Jr., writes in the Winslow Family Memorial:
[My father] says "The 5th of November happily disappointed ones fears, a union was formed between the South and North, by the mediation of the principal gentlemen of the town" – The Popes (meaning probably, the South end and north end processions) ["] paraded the Streets together, all day, and after burning them at the close of it, all was quiet in the evening. There were no disguises of visages, but the two leaders, M'cIntosh of the South, and Swift of the North, (the same who was so badly wounded last year, were dress'd out in a very gay manner, The authorities["] he says ["]did not interfere at all in the matter["] (MacKintosh was one of the most active of the mob which destroyed Governor Hutchinsons house in North Square 26 August 1765, and was arrested by the Sheriff, but could not be committed on account of the popular interference).
The younger Isaac goes on to write:
On the anniversary of "Pope day" on the 5th of November, there had always existed a bitter rivalry between the South and North parts of the town, which party should capture and destroy each others Pope – the effigies of whom accompanied by others of the Devil and his Imps were carried about in procession on that day & he added by a distinguished fighting character from each Section – the Northern procession going to the South, and vice versa accompanied each other with a vast concourse of people – They usually met each other in or about Dock Square where the contest took place – These conflicts were very severe, but this year (1765) the popular leaders had excited in the minds of the people such a determined opposition to the Stamp act, that they succeeded in making peace, between the two parties who had before always been at swords points with each other.
A full transcript of the Winslow Family Memorial can be read online (PDF). The account of Pope's Day is on page 65-66 of the transcript.

Justin Bieber Hates American Health Care System, Abortions
The Biebz thinks Americans are "evil," and according the 16-year-old Canuck, sometimes rape "happens for a reason." At least, that's what he told Rolling Stone's Vanessa Grigoriadis in the forthcoming issue that hits newsstands on February 18.
"Canada's the best country in the world," he says in the upcoming issue of the
culturally relevant magazine. "We go to the doctor and we don't need to worry about paying him, but [in America], your whole life, you're broke because of medical bills."
Hey, Beiber, love it or leave it, buddy.
LOLZ, just kidding, we love Biebz and his teenie-bopper brand. And actually, we're pretty disappointed with our country's healthcare system too. But what's this about abortions and rape?

"I really don't believe in abortion," he says, and in the case of rape, "I think that's really sad, but everything happens for a reason."
Bieber's sounding mighty political. We can only speculate that Usher's prodigy is gearing up for a post-pop star career as an elected official. Unfortunately for us, he'll never be president because (a) he's Canadian, and (b) superstardom will likely drive the pint-size performer to drug rehab.
Let's just hope he doesn't impregnate his Disney princess, Selena Gomez, and become an absentee father.

Yes, eventually I plan on getting an 85 1.4, not just because it would be two steps faster, but would give me some limited DOF for the tighter shots.

H&M Is Alive, Kicking Its Way Through Its First Day in NorthPark
If you walked into Northpark Center today wondering where you could find the new H&M store, you weren't the only one.
Enormous lines managed by enormous security guards staggered almost all the way back to Dillard's. An estimated 1200 showed up to take part in the fashion fun.
Walking in, it didn't seem too chaotic -- just a couple of young girls carrying double-stuffed shopping bags. Then there they were: more lines.
More swirling lines of customers with their arms crossed and shoulders bombarded with fluffy dresses on hangers. Caterers adorned in all black served customers with more guilty pleasures -- the edible kind, including mini hamburgers, pizza and what various desserts.

H&M's colorful Dallas store is filled with retro mannequins, hot lights, awesome clothes and billions of accessories, leaving you in shock, but it's the good "Where the hell should I start?" kind of shock.
For every customer, it seemed there was a sales associate working their ass off to prevent the store from turning to a shambles.
The fitting rooms, you guessed it, more lines. One peek inside there and you might change your mind about those $39.95 pair of slim fit jeans.
The shoe collection was quite impressive, ranging from walls of ballet flats to men's kick-ass ass-kickin boots.
Upstairs, it was a tad more calm and collected in the men's and children's collections.
Surprisingly, the numbers didn't seem too high on the registers today. H&M shoppers seem to know what they're doing.
If you're down for the wait, it could be you could walking out with those special tan and red bags stuffed with affordable groovy sunglasses or graphic tees. Just be prepared for lines -- lines longer than the ones at the DPS office and Six Flags put together.

Utah Jazz: Jazz guard Gordon Hayward gets invited to the Philippines
Jeffrey D. Allred, Deseret News
SALT LAKE CITY — The Utah Jazz won't be participating in the playoffs this year, so the NBA asked Gordon Hayward to do it a favor.
Because the Jazz shooting guard had nothing better to do at the end of the month, Hayward happily accepted the invitation to help run a clinic for youth basketball players in the Philippines.
Hayward and former WNBA great Tina Thompson will coach young hopefuls trying to become Jr. NBA/Jr. WNBA All-Stars during the Philippines 2014 national training camp.
The camp, sponsored by the NBA's international youth development program, will include the top 50 boys and top 24 girls from that country and will take place from April 25-27 in Manila, according to The Philippine Star.
Hayward said he's never been to the Philippines, so he's excited to take on a new adventure, which includes some fun travel and hoops.
"It's kind of like a little vacation to go over there," he said, "and then at the same time you get to do something for basketball."
Hayward will also travel to Las Vegas in late July to try out for a spot on Team USA's squad for the 2014 FIBA World Cup tournament.
The 6-8 swingman, who's averaging 16.0 points, 5.2 assists and 5.0 rebounds in his fourth season, will become a restricted free agent on July 1.
