What People are saying about this
"An entertaining journey through the social history of shoes and the people who have worn them....Well-written and well-referenced….Recommended to all fashion followers as well as those who enjoy the ankle-down approach to studying our high-end material culture."
"As a woman who walks, I've often wondered why I don't wear more sensible shoes. Now I know. Rachelle Bergstein has written a compulsively readable history: it won't keep you from buying an absurdly uncomfortable and expensive pair, but it will make you understand why you're doing it."
"If you could glimpse the passing parade of the last hundred years or so from behind a slightly raised curtain, you'd have a pretty good idea of what's going on in this richly anecdotal history of shoes."
"If style defines the woman, and shoes a woman's style, then ooh la la, here's the definitive history and guide—everything from Chinese bound feet to Ferragamo, from Hollywood favorites to running up one's credit card on the sine qua non of fashion."
"A fleet-footed social history."
"At last someone has dared to probe one of the most mystifying phenomena in our culture: what's the deal with women and shoes? Rachelle Bergstein starts from the ground up and tells us—with wit and brio—a lot about society from an unusual and original perspective."
"[Bergstein's] entertaining book wears its research as lightly as a pair of strappy sandals."

Check out the full review at Kritters Ramblings A look through history and how events in history effect fashion and specifically footwear. Starting at the beginning of how footwear really started becoming a way for women and men to show their personalities in the United States to how each war affected the fabrics that were used and even how to get shoes into the US from outside manufacturers. The most interesting thing for me was the correlation between historical events, fashion and their affect on footwear. Distinctly the flapper era where the hemlines went up and women would want showy shoes since you saw them compared to previous decades where shoes were hidden and were more for function. The last few chapters spoke quite in depth about the music industry and how it has put a stamp on footwear and I enjoyed having those two things in one conversation.
Good book
No pictures but an interesting story of the history of shoes.
The title and premise of this book are a little misleading. Or maybe my expectations were a little off. This was really a mini-history of shoes from the 20th century, beginning with the arrival of Salvatore Ferragamo on the scene and in America. Bergstein chooses to tell this story mainly through the tales of some iconic shoes: Dorothy's "ruby" slippers, stilettos (of course), Birkenstocks, Chuck Taylor's, etc. While I did learn a few things (Ferragamo's history was really interesting), this felt more like a collection of anecdotes, insider tales and Hollywood stories about shoes. And the chapter on 70's shoes and platforms was mainly about men. Certainly not the book I was expecting, but a decent read nonetheless.

Komunikačné moduly
Komunikačné moduly umožňujú dátovú komunikáciu v rozličných formátoch. Vo všeobecnosti, všetky komunikačné moduly dokážu prenášať rovnaké data, ale rozdiel je v spôsobe ako sa to vykonáva – protokol, hardvérové požiadavky a rozdiel je tiež v maximálnej rýchlosti prenosu dát.
Wired and wireless communications enable widely used communication and data transfer between various devices. They enable remote control and monitoring of production processes, tracking in logistics, data acquisition and archiving and many other everyday used functions. Wireless communications also enable for example remote control and monitoring in various hazardous environments, where direct human presence would be dangerous or impossible. Further, wireless communications enable to avoid necessity of costly cable structure, especially in places distant from each other.
Communication systems differ in many aspects like power consumption, max. distance, data transfer speed, immunity to noise and disturbances, safety and other. A choice of a right communication system and components for your application depends on above mentioned factors, as well as for example on development and production costs. Wireless communications in general offer a big advantage of avoiding a cable structure and provide a big flexibility and expansibility. However, it is also advisable to take in mind possibility of interference, caused for example by surrounded machines, as well as limited bandwidth. Wired communications in general offer higher transfer speeds and from some point of view, also a higher data safety.
An open wireless technology standard for exchanging data over short distances (using short wavelength radio transmissions in the ISM band from 2400-2480 MHz) from fixed and mobile devices.
Local Area Network, is a computer network that interconnects computers in a limited area such as a home, school, computer laboratory, or office building. LAN usually features high data-transfer rates. Network topology describes the layout pattern of interconnections between devices and network segments. Switched Ethernet has been for some time the most common Data Link Layer and Physical Layer implementation for local area networks. At the higher layers, the Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) has become the standard. Smaller LANs generally consist of one or more switches linked to each other, often at least one is connected to a router, cable modem, or ADSL modem for Internet access.
A trademark of the Wi-Fi Alliance and the brand name for products using the IEEE 802.11 family of standards, allowing electronic devices to exchange data wirelessly over a computer network. Wi-Fi uses 2.4GHz band and allows cheaper deployment of local area networks (LANs).
Radio-Frequency Identification is the use of a wireless non-contact radio system to transfer data from a tag attached to an object, for the purposes of automatic identification and tracking. Most of tags require no battery and are powered by the radio waves generated by an RFID reader device. The tag contains an antenna (made of an inductor) and a chip with a stored information. Tag can be read from up to several meters away. RF ID tags are used in many industries, for example an RFID tag attached to a product can be used to track its progress through the assembly line.
ZigBee is a specification for a suite of high level communication protocols using small, low-power digital radios based on an IEEE 802 standard for personal area networks (PANs). ZigBee technology is intended to be simpler and less expensive than other WPANs, such as Bluetooth. ZigBee is targeted at radio-frequency (RF) applications that require a low data rate, long battery life, and secure networking. ZigBee has is best suited for periodic or intermittent data or a single signal transmission from a sensor or input device. ZigBee operates at frequencies 868 MHz and 2.4 GHz.
Universal Serial Bus (USB) is an industry standard developed in the mid-1990s that defines the cables, connectors and communications protocols used in a bus for connection, communication and power supply between computers and electronic devices. USB was designed to standardize the connection of computer peripherals, both to communicate and to supply electric power. USB has effectively replaced a variety of earlier interfaces, such as serial and parallel ports, as well as separate power chargers for portable devices.
also known as TIA/EIA-485, is a standard defining the electrical characteristics of drivers and receivers for use in balanced digital multipoint systems. Digital communications networks implementing the RS-485 standard can be used effectively over long distances and in electrically noisy environments. Multiple receivers may be connected to such a network in a linear, multi-drop configuration. These characteristics make such networks useful in industrial environments and similar applications.
434/868 MHz RF
is a license free frequency band, used by low power devices. 433 MHz communication modules are short range communication devices authorized for use in many parts of the world. They operate in the UHF band from 433.075 MHz to 434.775 MHz. Modules working on this frequency are very often used for remote control of doors and locks.
is the traditional name for a series of standards for serial binary single-ended data and control signals connecting. An RS-232 port was a standard feature of a personal computer, but the limited transmission speed, relatively large voltage swing, and large standard connectors motivated development of the USB which has displaced RS-232 from most of its peripheral interface roles. Many modern personal computers have no RS-232 ports and must use an external converter to connect to older peripherals. RS232 devices are still found especially in industrial machines or scientific instruments. Because the voltage levels are higher than logic levels typically used by integrated circuits, special intervening driver circuits are required to translate logic levels.

There are strategies/tax breaks that will provide some relief. We have moved many families here from all over the nation, and the overwhelming response has been a positive one. The taxes are high, but you get what you pay for.
Also, depending on which neighborhood the taxes can vary due to differences in the MUD district and fire/emergancy service, school district taxes, etc.
You are wise to look at the taxes when you shop for homes in Texas. Most people take a mortgage with an escrow and do not think too much about the taxes, but it does add up. If you move to Texas, you will not pay a state income tax or many other taxes that exist in other states. We do have an approx. 8% sales tax on many items, but not on most food in the grocery store and other important staples.

This is a continuation of application Ser. No. 07/974,660 filed Nov. 12, 1992, now abandoned.
The invention relates to a radiant heating unit, such as can, e.g., be used as a hotplate, oven or other heating means, in order to deliver thermal radiation through a radiotransparent shield or plate.
Heating units of the type of the invention and/or the shield thereof must be protected against overheating above a limiting temperature, e.g., by a protective switch operating in a temperature-dependent manner, so as to prevent heating on the glass ceramic top above several 100� C., e.g. approximately 600� C. (EP 288 915=U.S. Pat. No. 4,845,340). As such plates have a very low thermal mass and are scarcely conductive with respect to metallic materials, e.g. steel, the temperature sensor for such protection must be positioned in such a way that heat transfer thereto takes place by direct radiation, back radiation and/or a fluid or air in a substantially tightly closed or unventilated area, through which the thermal radiation is directed towards the shield. In order to achieve this the temperature sensor is appropriately positioned at least partly in that area, namely, between the emission side of at least one heater and the bearing plane for the shield. Due to the low conductivity of the plate or the heating unit it has hitherto been assumed that the temperature sensor must extend over the entire area associated with said heating means, so as to ensure an effective protection also in the case of local, narrowly defined overheating. Thus, the temperature sensor generally forms a rod traversing the area and whose ends engage in boundary walls thereof. Thus, for each size of a heating unit or such an area a different temperature sensor is required, which is disadvantageous as regards manufacture, stockkeeping and installation. There are also spacers between the temperature sensor, support body and plate.
DE 35 36 981 discloses a radiant heating unit, in which the temperature sensor does not extend over the entire heating field. Its end is provided with a mounting support, which is supported on the insulation of the support body and/or on the plate to be heated. The mounting support is interconnected between the sleeve forming the temperature sensor and its inner rod and is fixed in the insulation.
Shorter temperature sensors only extending over a short distance into the area or over the heating means, can admittedly be used for the operation of signal devices for heat indication purposes, but they function in a temperature range well below 100� C. (DE 26 27 373). Compared with an overheating protection, much lower demands are made thereon with respect to the thermal loading, the switching accuracy and the determination of the complete heating field. Thus, signal switches are not comparable with overheating switches, although the latter can additionally be constructed for the operation of a signal contact.
For an effective overheating protection, particularly of the shield or glass ceramic plate, it is also not possible to use temperature sensors located on the side of the heating means remote from the shield and which are, e.g., embedded in the insulating material support body (DE 36 22 415=U.S. 48 10 857). Thus, such temperature sensors are only suitable for monitoring a separately switchable marginal area of the heating means and for effective protection purposes it is necessary to have an additional temperature sensor located in said area.
In the case of mass hotplates protection can be provided by a temperature sensor, which is only located on one side of an axial plane of the cooking area positioned transversely thereto and on the side of the heating means remote from the heating or cooking surface, because in that location there is no need to fear local overheating due to the good thermal conductivity of the hotplate body (DE-U-76 12 737). This temperature sensor is also not heated to the same extent as the hotplate body and instead operates at a much lower temperature, which is derived from that of the hotplate body, so that it responds much more slowly than a temperature sensor in a radiant heating unit.
The radiant heating unit can have an overall heating field, which is subdivided into separately operable individual fields, so that through the choice of the number of simultaneously operated and interconnected individual fields it is possible to vary the operating size and shape of the heating field. The smallest operating shape or size, whose associated heating field must be put into operation in each operating state, must then have the said monitoring by the temperature sensor, so that the latter forms a thermally reactive working section with a longitudinal portion in the vicinity of said individual field. Longitudinal portions connecting thereto and possibly extending into adjacent heating fields must be thermally less reactive or non-reacting, in that they are insulated with respect to the radiation of the associated heating means, e.g. using at least one shield (DE 34 10 442=U.S. Pat. No. 4,633,238 and GB 22 29 615).
The invention solves the problems of the prior art by providing a radiant heating units of the aforementioned type, through which disadvantages of known constructions or of the described type are avoided and which, particularly with reliable overheating protection, ensures a simple construction and/or manufacture.
In the case of a lightweight, flat construction of the heating unit, its strength and in particular, thermal stability can be increased in that within the heating field and/or at a corresponding distance from the terminating end of the temperature sensor is provided at least one mounting support, which is permanently loaded by the temperature sensor with a tension which is transferred to a bottom area of the support body. If the temperature sensor is resilient in the area outside the heating field, but otherwise substantially rigidly connected to the edge of the flat dish-like support body, a frame or ladder-like stiffening structure is obtained, which extends from the central field of the support body to its outer circumference. This stiffening structure acts against any bulging of the support body bottom and the heating means arranged thereon as a result of thermal loading, so that the distance between the heating means and the temperature sensor, between the heating means and the bearing plane, i.e. the heated plate, as well as between the temperature sensor and the bearing plane always remains roughly constant. The tensioning means can be made up of a leafspring-like carrier of the temperature limiter, as well as a resilient tie rod, or of the inherent resilience of the temperature sensor or the support body edge.
Mounting supports are only appropriately provided at a significant distance from the circumference of the heating field. The distance from the mounting supports to the free end of the temperature sensor can be roughly 1/7 to 1/4 of the length of said longitudinal portion, with the mounting support also being extendable up to the end face of the temperature sensor or beyond it, and with the upper limit of the distance from Said end face being approximately 1/3 to 1/2 of the length.
According to the invention means are provided in order to arrange one or both ends of the thermally reactive working portion of the temperature sensor in a spaced manner within the heating field, which is also understood to mean an individual field according to the smallest operating shape, so that said working portion does not directly cover by direct radiation the entire associated heating field, but only a smaller part of the diameter thereof. In particular in the case of adequate sealing of the associated area, adequate back radiation characteristics of the support body of the heating means, and minimum shielding of the working portion or temperature sensor with respect to the radiation, an adequate thermal determination of the entire heating field is still ensured. This makes it possible to use the same temperature limiters for different heating unit sizes.
The particular end of the working portion is critical with respect to the operating precision of the temperature sensor in that it contributes to the adjustment or setting thereof, so that it has to date been assumed that said end must not be exposed to very high thermal stresses in the same way as the remaining parts of the working portion so as to avoid a disadjustment. However, according to the invention, this end, like the connecting main portion of the working section is exposed to the same thermal stressing and a disadjustment by thermal shape modifications is prevented in that the components fixed against one another for maintaining the setting are so interconnected that their connection remains substantially neutral with respect to the thermal adjustment or setting.
Thus, the end face of the temperature sensor can be directly exposed to the radiation of the heating means. This is also possible if in the vicinity of said end face is provided an adjusting member for the temperature sensor, which appropriately is constructed as an expansion rod sensor from at least two rod parts extending over the working portion and having different thermal expansion coefficients, e.g. an outer tube and an inner rod located in the latter. The adjusting member is then e.g. a pressure body held in clearance-free manner at the free end of the outer tube in the longitudinal direction thereof and on which is axially supported the inner rod and which for obtaining a thermally neutral behaviour is appropriately thread-free or fitted in such a way that its fitting connection cannot be loosened by expansion deformations. It is particularly advantageous to use an adjustment construction in accordance with patent application P 40 29 351.3=U.S. Pat. No. 5,208,574, to which reference should be made for further features, effects and advantages.
If two or more separately switchable heating circuits of the heating means are provided for the same heating field, it is appropriate that the temperature sensor engages over at least one heater or a turn of each heating circuit.
If the particular end of the temperature sensor located within the heating field roughly coincides with an associated, free terminating end of the temperature sensor, said terminating end can also have the said spacing with respect to the working periphery or can be in the indicated position with respect to the axial plane of the heating field, and has no direct connection to the facing inner circumference of the heating field. However, on the working portion of the temperature sensor there can also be a thermally, substantially nonreactive longitudinal portion, e.g., an extension rod, which supports the temperature sensor, particularly on its end remote from a switch head, with respect to the inner circumference of the support body forming the working periphery.
The outer tube of the temperature sensor can be tension or compression-loaded in the operating state, can be made from steel and/or quartz glass or the like and appropriately has over its entire length a constant cross-sections. At least one retaining body can at least partly, e.g., in the vicinity of the connection to the temperature sensor and/or the support body, be made from a thermally minimum-conducting material, such as an insulating material, and/or an electrically or thermally good conducting, optionally metallic material, with particularly suitable materials being relatively soft pressed ceramic fibrous materials, hard ceramics, steel, etc.
As a result of the inventive construction for radiant heating units having heating fields of greatly varying size it is possible to use the same temperature protection switch in the form of a closed subassembly, whose temperature sensor then extends to a varying extent into the heating field as a function of the width of the latter, but in all cases is adequate for the reliable monitoring against overheating of the entire heating field.
These and other features can be gathered from the claims, description and drawings, and the individual features, both singly and in the form of subcombinations, can be realised in an embodiment of the invention, and in other fields and can represent advantageous, independently protectable constructions for which protection is hereby claimed.
Embodiments of the invention are described hereinafter relative to the drawings, wherein show:
FIG. 1 is a perspective detailed view of a radiant heating unit according to the invention.
FIG. 2 is a detailed view of the unit of FIG. 1 in axial section having a slightly modified construction.
FIG. 3 is an axial section view of another embodiment in a detail, but on a much larger scale.
FIG. 4 is a view of the mounting support according to FIG. 3.
FIG. 5 is a view of another embodiment similar to the representation according to FIG. 3.
FIG. 6 is a view of a retaining member according to FIG. 5.
FIG. 7 is a view of another retaining member according to FIG. 5.
FIG. 8 is a view of another embodiment in a view similar to that of FIG. 3.
The heating unit 1 has a flat dish-shaped, substantially circular, oval kidney-shaped and/or at least monoangular support body 2, which can be symmetrical to a central axis, to at least one axial plane or non-symmetrical. The support body 2 is substantially formed by two insulators 3 and 4 and a support tray or dish 5 having the indicated shape. One of the insulators 3, which is free to the heating side, is constructed as a flat dish-shaped body, e.g., in a vacuum suction process from high temperature-resistant insulating material, which contains ceramic fibres and optionally binders, and which under the compressive loads occurring in operation is slightly resilient and/or settles and is therefore permanently deformed. Despite its inherent stability it can be compressed and pulverized with average force be%ween two fingers in the indicated cross-sections.
The insulator 3 having its insulating bottom 7 with a thickness of less than 5 mm is supported on the approximately plate-like insulator 4, which is made from a thermally better insulating, but less strong material, e.g., a loose material of microporous, pyrogenic silicic acid by compression, but in the same way as the insulator 3 can form an inherently stable body. The insulators 3 and 4 only engage with one another at part of their facing surfaces, in that the insulator 4 at a limited distance from its outer circumference has a flat projecting ring projection, which otherwise maintains a reciprocal spacing of the two insulators 3 and 4. This spacing or ring projection is approximately congruent to an insulating edge 8, which is constructed in one piece with the insulating bottom 7 and as a substantially closed rim which projects over its front by made substantially more than its thickness, which is several times the thickness of the insulating bottom 7.
The support tray 5 is substantially made in one piece from sheet metal and has a tray edge 8 approximately at right angles to the insulating bottom 7 and a multiply profiled tray bottom 9 passing ring-like around its central axis, and on which is engaged in substantially whole-surface manner the insulator 4 in such a way that its outer circumference extends up to the inner circumference of the tray rim 8, on which is engaged over virtually its entire height the insulating rim or edge 6. The noted components are equiaxial to the central axis 10 of the support body 2 and at right angles to said axis 10 on the front form a ring-like, substantially closed bearing surface 12, with which the heating unit 1 is tensioned in a bearing plane 11 resiliently against the back of a plate or the like.
According to FIG. 1 the bearing surface 12 is formed by the tray rim 8 projecting a few millimeters over the insulating edge 6, whilst according to FIG. 2 it is formed by the insulating edge 6 projecting a few millimeters over the tray rim 8 in such a way that as a result of the resilient deformation occurring through the pressing action and the shrinkage by aging the tray rim 8 can only extend up to the bearing plane 11, but the insulating edge 6 is not flattened. Thus, the bearing surface 12 simultaneously forms a planar and resilient sealing surface constructed in one piece with the entire insulating edge 6. The spring tension for pressing purposes appropriately acts on the support tray 5 or on the tray bottom 9.
At least one heater 13 is secured in position, e.g. by embedding on the front side of the insulating bottom 7 and its heating resistor 14 can be formed by a resistance coil, a mesh of electrical resistance material, a thick-film resistor, a halogen light bulb and/or the like, as well as being exposed and substantially undarkened for the emission of its heat rays. The heating resistor 14 can be fixed e.g. by partial embedding in the insulating bottom 7. Two heating resistors 14 could form two separately switchable heating circuits 15 and 16, which are in each case substantially uniformly distributed over the entire surface of the insulating bottom, and/or at least two heating resistors are connected in parallel.
All the heating bodies 13 or the front of the insulating bottom 7 define a heating field 17, which passes from its outer circumference or working periphery 20 to the central axis 10 over most of the associated radial extension in uninterrupted manner or in substantially continuous manner with respect to its power density, and in the represented embodiment is subdivided into eight to ten approximately concentric or identically wide ring zones 18, and a central field or area 19 extending to the central axis 10 and connected to the innermost ring zone, and whose width, as a function of the heating field size, corresponds to roughly 1/3 of the total width of the heating field. In said central area 19 the surface-related, specific power density of the heating bodies 13 is smaller than in the connecting or remaining ring zones 18.
This effect results from the fact that the elongated, strand-like heaters 13 are laid in spiral turns 21 about the central axis 10, but all their free ends are as close as possible to the insulating edge 6, so that in the central area 19 with longitudinal portions spaced between their ends in each case form a S-shaped central loop 22 from in each case two pitch circular loop arcs 23. Both or all the heaters 13 in each case form directly adjacent turns 21 and central loops 22, and said turns 21 and central loops 22 with substantially constant gaps 24 are at a distance from one another which is smaller than the associated width of the particular heating resistor 14.
The innermost loop arcs 23, which form the smallest radius of curvature of the particular heating resistor 14, bound the central area 19, and in each case a central gap 25 free from heating resistors with a greatest width is much larger than that of the gaps 24, and which which passes into the associated gap 24 in curved, tapering, manner. The common axial plane of the two innermost loop arcs 23 can be located roughly in the central axis 10. The outer ends of the heating resistors 14 form connection ends 26 for the electrical connection of the heaters 13 and for this purpose are as near as possible or all approximately equally near to the inner circumference of the insulating edge 6 or all have roughly the same spacing from the central axis 10.
On the side of the central axis 10 on which said connecting ends 26 are located, the turns 21, which are otherwise curved-about the central axis 10 appropriately form less strongly curved to linear, but also parallel turn portions 27, so that here adjacent to the inner circumference of the insulating edge 6 there is a field for receiving the connecting ends 26. According to FIG. 1 this field is free from heating resistors over a relatively large surface, but the outermost turns can also be extended to the left to such an extent that said field is also substantially, or other than in the vicinity of the gaps, covered with heating resistors and the connecting ends 28 directly adjacently face the inner circumference of the insulating edge 6.
The heating unit 1 is used for the approximately sealed engagement of its bearing surface 12 on the back or underside of a translucent plate 28 made from glass ceramic material or the like, against whose back can also be applied several spaced, identical or different heating units 1, e.g. around adjacent hot plates. A temperature protection device 29 is set back in exposed manner with respect to said plate 28 or the bearing plane 11, and in particular protects the plate 28 against overheating by the heaters 13 so that said device 29 on reaching a limiting temperature automatically switches off part or the entire installed capacity of the heaters 13, and automatically switches them on again upon dropping below a lower limiting temperature.
For the determination of the temperature the area, sealed against through-flows, between the insulator 3 and the plate 28 contains a substantially contact-free, slender rod-like, linear temperature sensor 30, which has a metallic outer tube 31 forming its exposed outer circumference and with radial clearance therein for inner rod 32 made from a ceramic or similar material. One end of the outer tube 31 is longitudinally positionally secured on a casing-like base body 33 made from a hard ceramic insulating material, in which the associated end of the inner rod 32 engages in such a way that it operates a snap-action switch 34 for the capacity to be switched off and optionally a snap-action contact located behind it for a signalling device. The two other ends of the outer tube 31 and the inner rod 32 are positionally secured against one another against the associated switching or operating force by pressure engagement and/or a secured connection. If the sensor is broken or drawn off the switch 34 is operated so as to disconnect the entire or part of the power.
The base body 33 supporting in freely projecting manner the temperature sensor 30 over most of its length is positioned in spaced manner on the outside of the support body 2 or the tray rim 8 and is fixed thereto with a resilient, angular carrier 43, whose one leg is approximately parallel and contact-free adjacent to the tray rim 8, while the other leg is fixed in a positionally rigid manner to the underside of the tray bottom 9, optionally accompanied by bracing with threaded bolts or the like.
For this purpose the tray bottom 9 has, connected to its outer circumference, a shoulder displaced towards the bearing plane 11 and which is in particular ring-like, so that the carrier 43 does not project over the outside of the remaining tray bottom 9. As a result of the carrier 43 the base body 33 can perform with the temperature sensor 30 minor resilient pivoting movements about an axis in the vicinity of the tray rim 8 and/or tray bottom 9 and approximately parallel to the bearing plane 11, and at right angles to the longitudinal direction of the temperature sensor 30 and optionally also about an axis at right angles to the bearing plane 11, which greatly reduces the risk of breakage due to strong vibrations.
With the free end 36 of the temperature sensor 30 can be associated an adjusting means 37 provided for the signal contact, while the other, base-side end 35 is associated an adjusting means for the switch 34. The adjusting means 37, whose setting is made prior to the installation of the temperature sensor 30 in the heating unit 1, has an adjusting member 38 in the form of a smooth-surface bolt located on the outer circumference and which is inserted in substantially radial clearance-free manner in the associated, e.g. tapered end portion 39 of the outer tube 81, its inner end face is supported on the associated end of the inner rod 22 in all operating states and under pressure and fixed by welding in the end portion 39. The switch 34 is adjusted from the side of the base body 33 remote from the temperature sensor. Over the area in which the temperature sensor 30 is exposed to the direct radiation of the heaters 13, between said support and the other end of the inner rod 32 in the vicinity of the heating field 17, i.e. substantially from said support up to the inner circumference of the insulating edge 8, the temperature sensor 30 forms a thermally reacting working portion 40, in whose area the outer tube 31 reacts to changes of the heat radiation by length modifications. In the vicinity of the insulating edge 6, the temperature sensor 30 is shielded against said thermal radiation in that it traverses the insulating edge 6, and/or the tray edge 8, either according to FIG. 1 in the vicinity of further openings, or according to FIG. 2 in the vicinity of closely adapted bores, and is consequently centered by said edge.
The working section 40 could admittedly be roughly tangential or chord-like to one or more turns 21, but appropriately is provided approximately in an axial plane 41 of said turns or the central axis 10, which is at an angle of approximately 45� to the common axial plane of the two innermost loop arcs 23. Whereas according to FIG. 1 the connection ends 26 or their associated outermost end turns do not extend up to the axial plane 41, they can also traverse the latter, so that the working portion 40, also in said area connected to the inner circumference of the tray edge 6, is exposed to direct radiant heating.
The working portion 40 or the temperature sensor 30 at the most extends up to the associated axial plane 42 of the turns or the central axis 10 at right angles to the axial plane 41, so that it covers most of the eight to ten ring zones 18, namely in the vicinity of the turn portions 27, which are approximately parallel to the axial plane 42. The working portion 40 can also traverse the axial plane 42.
Besides being indirectly supported by means of the carrier 43, the insulating bottom 7 and the temperature sensor 80 are directly supported on one another by a mounting support 44 in the vicinity of the free end 36, and said mounting support is substantially exclusively formed by a single holding body 45 made from said the material in one piece with the insulating bottom 7. The holding body 45 is located in the central gap 25 closer to the central axis 10, or having its edges traversed by the latter, and is adjacent with only a limited gap spacing to the inner circumference of the associated innermost loop arc 28, so that in a view of the bearing plane 11 it has the described, curved, tapering shape. Its free face is spaced between the front of the heating resistor 14 and the bearing plane 11 in such a way that the temperature sensor 80 bears thereon in the vicinity of its associated end 86 under the compressive force of the pretensioned carrier 43 with a circumferential area which is smaller than 1/2 or 1/4 of the overall circumference.
The compressive force is smaller than those deformation forces which would be necessary to bring about an elastic bending deformation of the temperature sensor 30, but larger than the curvature forces directed against the bearing plane 11 and which could occur through the thermal expansion curvature of the insulating bottom 7. The tray edge 8 is not directly influenced by these forces, if it forms with the shoulder receiving the tray bottom 9 or the carrier 43 a resilient stiffening profile for securing the position of the base body 38. The holding body 45 is located substantially completely on one side of the central axis 10 or the axial plane at right angles to the common axial plane of the loop arcs 23 and but is traversed by the axial planes 41, 42. As its outside width is tapered towards its free face and also as a result of its described arrangement, the holding body 45 does not thermally shield the temperature sensor 30 or the working portion 40, or only does so to a negligible extent with respect to the direct radiation of the heaters 13.
The hump-shaped holding body 45 is also completely contact-free with respect to the overall inner circumference of the insulating edge 8, through which the working periphery 20 of the heating field 17 is determined. The mounting support 44 is located in the vicinity of the gap between the insulator 4 and the insulating bottom 7, whose thickness roughly corresponds to the outside width of the temperature sensor 30, so that said curvature forces can be kept particularly low, and also the insulating bottom 7 can give way in an elastic resilient manner to the compressive force of the temperature sensor 30 in the vicinity of the mounting support 44.
Thus, in section through the axial plane 41, a frame-shaped stiffening union, which is slightly resilient and transversely pretensioned with respect to the insulating bottom 7 is obtained, in which is incorporated the insulating edge 6 in addition to the support tray 5, the carrier 43, the base body 33, the temperature sensor 30, the mounting support 34, the insulating bottom 7 and the insulator 4, and in it engages in resiliently movable manner at right angles to its axis and in all directions the temperature sensor 30.
In FIGS. 3 to 8 the same parts are given the same reference numerals as in FIGS. 1 and 2, but carry different letter references, so that all parts of the description also apply thereto. The mounting supports according to FIGS. 1 to 8 can be provided individually or in random combination and numbers for the same temperature sensor. In all the embodiments the support faces 49 are under the pressure of the tensioning means, i.e., the resilient carrier 43 on the insulator 7. The members 50 penetrating the insulator form a guide for the mounting support and the temperature sensor.
FIGS. 3 and 4 show a plate-like holding body 45a made from a hard ceramic material having a thickness roughly, corresponding to the diameter of the temperature sensor 30a. The holding body 45a forms a ring 48, which is substantially closed over the circumference and having a passage opening 47, which is only slightly wider than the outer circumference of the working portion 40a, so that the outer tube 31a, which can also be a protective tube made from quartz glass or the like which does not participate in the sensor expansions, is longitudinally displaceable with respect to the mounting support 44a. The ring 48 projects over the side of the working portion 40a remote from the heater 13a, but does not extend up to the bearing plane or surface 12a, so that it remains contact-free with respect to the plate 28.
On the other side the plate body 48 having the ring 46 has two approximately aligned shoulder or support surfaces 49, between which projects a plugging member 50 pointed at its free end. With said cross-sectionally rectangular plugging member 50, following engagement on the temperature sensor 30a, the holding body 45a can be engaged in the insulating bottom 7a or the insulator 4a accompanied by simultaneous material displacement in order to form the associated plugging opening, and so as to ensure that no turning takes place and/or can be inserted in a bore until its free end is at a limited distance from the tray bottom 9a. The plugging member 50 displaces the insulating material of the insulating bottom 7a and the insulator 4a both radially and parallel to the bearing surface 12a, as well as at right angles thereto, so that through compression correspondingly compacted insulating material is located in the vicinity of the inner circumference and the blind hole-like end 6f the plugging opening or plugging member 50.
The support surfaces 49 are then located in a gap 24 or a central gap 25 of the top of the insulating bottom 7a facing the temperature sensor 30a, and which in the area outside the heater 13a is roughly in one plane over the entire heating field 17. In the longitudinal direction of the plugging member 50, which is at right angles to the longitudinal direction of the temperature sensor 30a or the bearing surface 12a, the holding body 45a can perform sliding movements in the plugging opening with respect to the insulators 3a and 4a, or by corresponding, barb-like claw profiles it can be secured against such sliding movements. However, appropriately the support surfaces 49 are under all operating conditions on the insulating bottom 7a under the force of the pretension of the temperature sensor 30a, so that the latter with the holding body 45a forms a holding-down device for the insulating bottom 7a.
The working portion 40a extends on either side over and beyond the holding body 45a, so that the end 36a with the adjustment means 37a is contact-free and without shielding being exposed to the direct radiation of the heater 13a. The longitudinal portion of the working section 40a associated with the end 36a is shorter than that located on the other side of the holding body 45a.
According to FIGS. 5 to 7 there are two holding bodies 45b and 45b' spaced from one another and provided in such a way that they engage in separate gaps 24 or central gaps 25 and between them there can be, e.g., one, two, three or four turns 21 or turn portions 27. Each holding body 45b or 45b' is exclusively formed from a curved wire piece, the ring 46b and 46b' being wound in the manner of a spiral tension spring from two closely engaging turns.
The through opening 47b or 47b' can consequently be resiliently widenable, so that the ring 46b or 46b' surrounds in radial clearance-free manner and with tension the outer circumference of the temperature sensor 30b. The ring 46b or 46b' is engageable from the free end 36b of the temperature sensor 30b and during engagement can be widened on a conical transition section of the tapered end portion 39b.
A leg of the wire 48b or 48b' tangentially directed away from the ring 46b is wound at its end inwards towards the facing side of the ring 46b and 46b' and consequently forms the single support surface 49b or 49b', which in a view on the bearing surface 12b consequently roughly coincides with the passage opening 47b or 47b'.
According to FIG. 6 the other leg is parallel to the first-mentioned leg and on the opposite side of the ring 46b is led away tangentially therefrom and parallel in the same direction, but for forming the plugging member 50b is extended beyond the support surface 49b. The plugging member 50b can extend up to engagement on the inside of the tray bottom 9b, so that here there is an electrical grounding connection between the temperature sensor 30b and the earth support tray.
The holding body 45b requires a wider gap, e.g., a central gap 25, while the holding body 45b' is suitable for a narrower gap, because in a view parallel to the passage opening 47b, the leg forming the plugging member 50b' crosses the support surface 49b' at a distance between its ends or roughly in the center of its length and is approximately radial to the ring. The plugging member 50b' also traverses the tray bottom 9b an the vicinity of a shoulder displaced towards the bearing surface 12b and optionally extending in uninterrupted, ring-like manner around the central axis 10 and through which the insulator 4b in this area has approximately half smaller or roughly the same plate thickness as in the vicinity of its outer circumference.
On the outside of the tray bottom 9b, whose shoulder forms a mating member, the plugging member 50b' is provided with a separate securing member 51 or such a securing member constructed in one piece therewith, and which with respect to the passage opening in the shoulder is wider and which can, e.g., be formed by deformation, such as the bending of the plugging member 50b'. As a result of this securing member 51, the holding body 45b' is positively secured against pulling out and the member is held down with respect to the sheet metal tray bottom. The particular holding member can also perform slight tilting movements in the transverse and/or longitudinal direction of the temperature sensor 30b.
The completely flush securing member 51 or the entire holding body does not project over the underside of the heating unit 1b or the tray 5b, and with the underside forms a stacking surface for the superimposed stacked storage of the heating units.
Instead of being located on the outer circumference, the holding body 45c according to FIG. 8 is located on an inner circumference, namely that of the outer tube 31c or the end portion 39c, so that the outer circumference of the entire working portion 40c can be completely exposed. The holding body 45c is formed by a bending-stiff, non-resilient and bent bolt or rod, whose one leg is inserted from the free end into the outer tube 31c and can be constructed in one piece with the adjusting member 38c or the inner rod 32c. The other leg forms a support member 50c, which can be constructed in the same way as the above-described plugging member, but in this case forms with its free end face the support face 49c, and does not engage in the insulating bottom 7c. The freely projecting length of the leg roughly equiaxial to the temperature sensor 30c is roughly the same as the external diameter of the cylindrical temperature sensor 30c or the length of the support member 50c.
The holding body could also be constructed in multipart form and/or from different materials, but is appropriately in one piece throughout, which leads to a very simple construction. For reducing the shielding action of the ring, its passage opening can be significantly wider than the temperature sensor and have merely individual, circumferentially distributed, projecting members for supporting the temperature sensor. The plugging member 50b or 50b' could also be provided with a pushed on insulating bead, which would be supported on the one hand on the ring and on the other on the insulating bottom, so that there would be no need for a separate support leg.

I suggest Americans think about the ramifications as to why those carbon copied disaster-recovery plans were not discovered until now. Who was supposed to be reading and reviewing those plans? Who was suppose to be checking to make sure that the resources necessary to implement those plans were in place? Who was supposed to be running tests to ensure that people knew what to do? Who was supposed to checking to make sure the necessary command and control resources were in place? Who was supposed to be making sure that the people involved with the disaster response were being properly trained, and that the training was current?

Bareknuckle boxing coming to New Hampshire?
MASS-MMA.com's Dan Bonnell has tracked down an event apparent bringing back a rule set not popular since the early 1900s – bareknuckle boxing. The contest, described by the promoter as "secret," is inexplicably dubbed "Queensbury Boxing."
The Queensbury Rules, which superseded the previous, bareknuckle Broughton Rules, are the basis for modern boxing rules. In addition to rules familar to any boxing fans like three-minute rounds and the prohibition on grappling, the Queensbury Rules made gloves mandatory, not prohibited.
A company based out of Miami is bringing their brand of Bare Knuckle fights to what seems the only state willing to try out their epic attempt at a new combat sport. Two of our own very well known MMA fighters have been able to get the nod and accepted into the event as competitors. Longtime Heavyweight contender and co-owner of the Power of One gym Randy Smith will compete, according to his website. Also competing is former top ranked amateur 135lb bantamweight Matt Doherty. Doherty is also a golden gloves boxing champion and is the biggest threat of the two to move on in the tournament…..did I say tournament?
Lets talk about the cage…. better yet here is a picture:
This is an early design and things may have changed but this is what we have for now. I'm told that the flat surface is 24 feet across and then it begins to slope up. the ring is designed to force the fighters together. Fighters are to "toe the line" when they begin the match. standing only a foot apart. The sloped portion is a rest area if you will – when a fighter gets rocked, he has the option to step into the sloped portion of the ring for up to ten seconds to recover.
Bare Knuckle boxing gloves? Let me help here's another picture:
The use of the gloves i guess is to make it less barbaric, or maybe assist in the protection of ones own hands from breaking? I particularly love them and think they are hilarious. I'm not sure of any hand wrapping and if its allowed.
An inside tip led me to Mark Vaz to ask a few questions about the promotion. My talk with Mark Vaz didn't lead me to many answers rather more mystery. Vaz said everything is very "Top Secret" when i pulled my Mass-MMA.com card he stated they didn't need help promoting the event because they have millions of dollars devoted to advertisement and marketing.
I have yet to find more than one article about the event so far.
I have seen that Direct TV has picked up the event and it will be available on pay-per-view.
The event will be happening in our back yard at the Hampton Beach Casino on June 26th. For some reason i think it will sell out. Maybe, because it will be the first and last event of its kind, or maybe because in the last two weeks the marketing crew at Queensbury pulls off a miracle marketing ploy.

Read our latest newsletter featuring an interview with Fulton Financial Corporation CEO and CHRO how they used a culture change program to improve accountability and reenergize the organization after the recession eroded performance.
Senn Delaney Chairman Dr. Larry Senn describes Be Here Now: A simple concept to increase personal effectiveness.
Scaling culture change: Cafe Rio CHRO describes how the company baked the best of its small business culture into a scalable model that is proving to be a winning ingredient for rapid growth
Five CEOs from different industries discuss why they have focused on creating organizational cultures built on a foundation of agility, and how it has transformed their companies to outperform the competition and stay ahead of the curve.
Culture plays one of the biggest roles in the success or failure of all strategies and initiatives and in financial performance.
A dysfunctional culture is why most major system implementations are behind schedule, over budget and fall short of expectations. It is why new organizational structures don't fully deliver on the promise. It's why new CEOs often fail, and why safety and quality issues persist. It's why companies that don't have service cultures struggle to support growth.
The Jaws of Culture
Early on, we coined a phrase to describe this phenomenon. We called it the "Jaws of Culture." All organizations, no matter how successful, have historic habits. While well intentioned, some of those habits get in the way, especially when strategy or operational structure changes or when stretch goals are needed. We call these cultural barriers the "Jaws of Culture."
Dysfunctional organizational habits act like jaws in the culture that can chew up your strategies and initiatives. Some common examples:
Strategy, structure and culture
We also noted that cultural traits often got in the way when organizations wanted to implement a new strategy or change the structure, such as from a holding company to more of a shared business model. When the strategy of an organization changes, the culture is usually a step or two behind. This lag is like an anchor on a boat and slows progress.
The Senn Delaney process removes the jaws eliminates the lag and creates the right behaviors to best support your business initiatives.
Watch video with Senn Delaney Partner and EVp Bill Parsons discussing why strategy, structure and culture must align

7. Possible BNF and BNF Quick Test Kits available for sale
I don't know if these will start in Feb. But, who knows.
8. Possible EPA papers
6 maybe 7 I doubt 8 ????
We will not see anything on the BNF for a while IMO they need to finish testing the bacteria on the test result page and then I would think a paper would be published that is a minimum of six months. It would not shock me if we don't see anything on that by christmass.
And the EPA it has only been 2-1/2 years since the CRADA was signed. :-(
Nice month to launch the pps upward. I'm sure the sudden drive down to $0.20 these past few weeks is just a coincidence.

text: Posted December 19, 2012 What I believe should had been done since the beggining was to create a healthy mix of whatever had worked in soviet productions with elements that could be added and/or substituted in favor of a better offering. As I said a while ago, I don't think modern audiences are very able to give up Lilac's pointes and tutus in favor of the XIX century "Miss Columbia Pictures" lady, but I'm sure these same audiences would be happy to be offered the temple destruction and proper end of Bayadere. I agree about Lilac Fairy. I forgot about that. You do miss the pointe and dancing in the reconstruction. The Bayadere reconstruction temple destruction is not as beautiful as the Makarova version's temple destruction in my opinion. Makarova's staging that has Solor following Nikiya up the steps after the dust settles is just so gorgeous! I know Makarova's version has its own problems, but that last apotheosis is better done than in the Mariinsky reconstruction, in my personal opinion. I do agree with you that audiences probably do want the temple destruction for some sort of closure. Despite its own problems I think Makarova's version is a decent compromise even if the dancing in the last act is sort of modern-ish and doesn't flow with the rest of the ballet. Maybe if the Mariinsky had more money to redo the apotheosis I would like it better. Share this post Link to post

Customer review by sewbabylove
I watched a Youtube video about the setup before I bought it. One of the kids in the video said it felt hot in the sun. We have been having 109 degree weather here in Oregon but it hasn't felt hot to me at all, which I am VERY surprised and happy about! It definitely takes 2 people to put together and a few hours to do so. It has all the tools you need to put it together. Moving it after it's put together also takes 2 people! Kids love it. I love it. It's not something you see every day in the yard. Great exercise for the kids! It's a decent size (Not to big not to small). They used textured paint on the just the blue bars(?) But it's an added plus!
Customer review by FitToBeWell
I would definitely recommend this climber. It is very sturdy and the price is extremely reasonable. The grandchildren, ages 3-11 are having a great time on it. They use it for climbing, doing tricks and they even make a tent by throwing a tarp over it. One evening after dark, they had movie night in the tent after their dad rigged up the TV screen and put rope lights around the top. Add blankets, pillows, popcorn and it made for a very cozy night "under the stars."
