1. Field of the Invention
This invention relates to a technology for detecting misfire occurring during operation of a gasoline or other spark-ignition internal combustion engine and more particularly to an ignition coil with a capacitor for detecting misfire for an internal combustion engine.
2. Description of the Prior Art
As is well known, in gasoline and other types of internal combustion engines a high voltage produced by an ignition coil is distributed to spark plugs at the engine cylinders by an ignition distributor or the like. At each cylinder, the resulting electric discharge between the spark plug electrodes produces a spark which ignites an air-fuel mixture that has been drawn into the cylinder and compressed at the proper time, causing the mixture to hum explosively. In the course of this ignition-combustion process in the internal combustion engine, the mixture may for some reason occasionally fail to hum properly. This is referred to as a misfire. Misfires can result from causes in either the fuel system or the ignition system. Misfires caused by problems in the fuel system are the result of an overly lean or overly rich air-fuel mixture. A spark is produced between the spark plug electrodes hut the air-fuel mixture does not ignite. Misfires caused by problems in the ignition system are the result of spark plug electrode fouling or ignition circuit malfunctions which prevent normal spark discharge.
The occurrence of misfire in the course of engine operation not only degrades engine performance but may degrade fuel consumption, or may cause after-firing of unburned gases in the exhaust system which can affect the exhaust emission control system and have other adverse effects. Moreover, since the occurrence of even a single misfire indicates a misadjustment or malfunction in the fuel or ignition system, prompt elimination of the problem is essential. Because of this, there is a strong need for development of a detector for detecting misfires as soon as they occur.
The only type of misfire detector that has been proposed is the mis-spark detector described in Japanese Laid-open Patent Publication No. 52(1977)-118135. As shown in FIG. 6, the detector includes a conductor 51 wrapped around a portion of a high-voltage (high tension) cable 50 of the engine ignition system so as to constitute a detection capacitor 52 (a type of capacitance probe) in which the insulation cladding 50A of the high-voltage cable 50 serves as the dielectric. A voltage divider capacitor 53 is connected between the capacitor 52 and ground so that the ignition voltage (secondary voltage of the ignition coil) applied to the conductive core 50B of the high-voltage cable 50 induces a voltage across the terminals of the capacitor 52 due to its static capacitance. The induced voltage is statically divided by the capacitor 52 and the capacitor 53, and the voltage across the terminals of the capacitor 53 (the divided voltage) is forwarded as a detection voltage to an electronic circuit 54 for processing and discrimination. The electronic circuit 54 discriminates the occurrence of misfires from the difference between the waveform of the ignition voltage at the time of normal spark discharge and that at the time of no spark discharge (mis-sparking). Among the different types of misfires, the detector thus detects misfires that occur when no spark discharge is produced waveform to a problem in the ignition system.
Another detector for detecting misfire in internal combustion engines is disclosed in the present assignee's Japanese Patent Application No. 3(1991)-326509. In this detector, the ignition voltage is similarly detected through the capacitive divider, and misfire due to causes in the fuel system is detected based on the fact that, even when spark discharge occurs, the waveform of the ignition voltage differs between the case where normal combustion occurs and the case where it does not.
In the conventional misfire detectors, as the means for detecting ignition voltage there is thus used such a "capacitance probe" constituted by wrapping a sheet or ribbon of conductor around the high-voltage cable of the ignition system so as to form the detection capacitor between the conductor and the core of the high-voltage cable via the insulation cladding of the high-voltage cable as the dielectric. However, the capacitance probe constituted in this manner has a major drawback that derives from the nature of the high-voltage cable of the ignition system. Because of its flexibility and elasticity, the high-voltage cable is highly susceptible to vibration. It is also easily affected by changes in the ambient humidity, wetting by leaking water, and fouling with oil, grime and the like. When a capacitor for use in detection is formed by wrapping a conductor ribbon around the cable, the static capacitance of the capacitor is apt to be changed from the proper value by shifting of the conductor caused by vibration as well as by changes in humidity, wetting with water and fouling with oil, grime and the like. Although some change in static capacitance can be tolerated if the capacitor is to be used only for checking the ignition voltage, even slight changes have to be avoided when it is used for misfire discrimination because such discrimination generally requires accurate detection not only of the ignition voltage but also of the ignition voltage waveform. The capacitance changes to which the prior art capacitance probe is susceptible degrade the detected voltage waveform and make it impossible to discriminate misfire with high reliability.
In addition, the insulation cladding of the high-voltage cable is generally formed of synthetic rubber, the synthetic rubber is readily degraded when exposed to heat and fouling with oil and grime. This degradation of the insulation cladding after the detection capacitor has been formed by winding the conductor around the high-voltage cable not only produces a progressive change in the static capacitance of the capacitor over time but also increases the risk of electric insulation breakdown. In this latter case, the high ignition voltage can leak to the conductor wrapped thereon. When this happens, the high leak voltage is apt to be conducted to the electronic circuitry of the misfire detector, which it can damage or cause to malfunction.
In actual practice, moreover, the flexibility and elasticity of the high-voltage cable make the work of attaching the conductor for forming the capacitor on the insulation cladding of the high-voltage cable and securing thereon difficult and troublesome. Maintenance of the so-formed capacitor is also troublesome.
On the other hand, when normal combustion does not occur and ions are therefore not produced at the gap between the spark plug electrodes, natural discharge between the electrodes does not proceed smoothly following insulation breakdown. Instead, the charge developed between the electrodes may flow through the ignition system in reverse. This produces changes in the voltage waveform detected by the detection capacitor or other voltage detection means of the misfire detector and makes it impossible to discriminate the presence/absence of misfire accurately.
Furthermore, the engine compartments of most modern cars are tightly packed with various devices, components and wiring. In providing the detection capacitor of a misfire detector, the conductor for detection constituting a part of the detection capacitor generally ends up being close to some other electrically conductive component. In this case, any change in the distance between the conductor for detection and the nearby conductive component will substantially change the capacitance of the detection capacitor. In addition, the detection capacitor will pick up noise from the nearby conductive component. Since any such change in capacitance or introduction of a noise component adversely affects the ignition voltage waveform detected by the detection capacitor, the detection accuracy is degraded.
The present invention was accomplished in light of the foregoing circumstances and has as its basic object to provide an ignition coil with a misfire detecting capacitor for a spark-ignition internal combustion engine, which enables the static capacitance of the capacitance probe to be maintained constant, unaffected by mechanical vibration, humidity changes, water-wetting and the like, and also enables a high degree of freedom from the insulation degradation, thus ensuring accurate detection of even the voltage waveform, and which is also easy to install and maintain.
Another object of the invention is to provide an ignition coil with a misfire detecting capacitor for a spark-ignition internal combustion engine which prevents degradation of the accuracy of ignition voltage waveform detection due to substantial change in the capacitance of the detection capacitor or to picked-up noise, even when the conductor for detection constituting a part of the detection capacitor is located in the vicinity of another electrically conductive member.
Still another object of the invention is to provide an ignition coil with a misfire detecting capacitor for a spark-ignition internal combustion engine which prevents the detected voltage waveform from being changed by a current flowing through the ignition system in reverse due to residual charge between the spark plug electrodes at the time of misfire and which thus enables the presence/absence of misfire to be reliably discriminated from the detected voltage wave form.
For realizing these objects, the present invention provides an ignition coil for an internal combustion engine, including, a core; a primary winding and a secondary winding both wound around the core, a first conductor connected to the secondary winding to transmit secondary winding voltage current to the exterior of the coil and an insulator resin at least encompassing the first conductor that the first conductor is embedded integrally therein. In the system the improvement comprises: a second conductor located around the first conductor keeping a predetermined distance from the first conductor and sandwiching the insulator resin such that a first capacitor, which constitutes a capacitive divider with a second capacitor for igniting voltage detection, is formed between the first and second conductors.
These and other objects and advantages of the invention will be more apparent from the following description and drawings, in which:
FIG. 1 is a sectional view of an ignition coil with a misfire detecting capacitor for a spark-ignition internal combustion engine according a first embodiment of the invention;
FIG. 2 is a wiring diagram showing the electrical circuitry of an ignition system utilizing the ignition coil of FIG. 1;
FIG. 3 is an enlarged sectional view of a portion of an ignition coil according to a second embodiment of the invention;
FIG. 4 is an enlarged sectional view of a portion of an ignition coil according to a third embodiment of the invention;
FIG. 5 is a sectional view of a conventional prior art ignition coil; and
FIG. 6 is a schematic view showing the voltage detection means of a prior art misfire detector.
For easier understanding of the invention, the explanation of specific embodiments of the ignition coil according to the invention will be preceded by an explanation of a typical conventional ignition coil.
FIG. 5 shows the structure of a typical prior art ignition coil. As illustrated in the figure, the ignition coil has a metallic core 1, rectangular as a whole, and a first bobbin 2 made of a plastic material is mounted on one side of the core. A primary coil 3 is wound on the first bobbin 2. A second bobbin 4 made of the same material as the first one is further mounted on the primary coil winding 3 and on the second bobbin 4, a secondary coil 5 is wound. The secondary winding 5 is connected, via a lead 6, to a conductor 8 which constitutes a connector section 7 for insertion of the tip of a high-voltage cable (not shown) which will transmit the secondary winding voltage induced at the secondary winding 5 to an ignition distributor (not shown). Similarly another lead (not shown) is provided to connect the primary winding 3 to a second connector section 9, the details of which are omitted from explanation. These components or elements just described are all housed in a case 10 made of a plastic material. The case 10 is filled with an insulator resin 11 such as epoxy resin or the like having electrical insulation property. More specifically, the components or elements are embedded integrally in the resin 11 at the time of completing or fabricating the ignition coil, as illustrated.
FIG. 1 shows the configuration of an ignition coil according to a first embodiment of the invention. Components or elements in FIG. 1 which correspond to those in FIG. 5 are assigned identical reference numerals to their counterparts in FIG. 5 and will not be explained further.
In the embodiment of FIG. 1, a conductor 20 for detection formed of a good conductor material such as copper or aluminum to have the shape of a hollow tube, a half tube(s) or a split tube(s) is disposed around the conductor 8 for high-voltage conduction at the connector section 7. More specifically, the conductor 20 is embedded integrally in the resin 11 at the connector section 7 when the ignition coil is completed such that the conductor is located around the conductor 8 so as to encompass the same. Thus, since the conductor 20 is integrally embedded in the resin 11 at the time the ignition coil is completed or fabricated, a portion of the resin 11 is present between the inner surface of the conductor 20 and the outer surface of the conductor 8. A lead 21 is connected with the conductor 20 for enabling voltage to be transmitted to the exterior of the ignition coil. Moreover, a current suppression means 22 (e.g. a diode) is inserted at the lead 6. The diode 22 is for suppressing the flow of current in the direction from the connector section 7 toward the secondary winding 5 (i.e. current flow from the spark plug toward the secondary winding). The diode 22 is also embedded in the resin 11 at the time the ignition coil is completed (molded). As a result, in the configuration shown in FIG. 1, the conductor 8 at the connector section 7 and the conductor 20 surrounding it constitute a detection capacitor 29 which has the intervening resin (insulator) 11 as its dielectric.
FIG. 2 is a schematic diagram showing the electric circuitry of an ignition system including the ignition coil of FIG. 1. Here, the ignition coil is assigned with reference numeral 25. Also shown is an example of the input section of a misfire detector.
In FIG. 2, current flowing from a battery 24 through the primary winding 3 of the ignition coil 25 is turned on and off by a power transistor 27 in response to ignition signals from an engine control unit (ECU) 26. The high-voltage current induced in the secondary winding 5 of the ignition coil 25 passes through the diode 22, via an ignition distributor 23, to a spark plug 28. The detection capacitor 29 is formed by providing the conductor 20 around the conductor 8 as was explained earlier. The detection capacitor 29 is connected in series with a voltage divider capacitor 30 by the lead 21. The other terminal of the voltage divider capacitor 30 is grounded and an intermediate point (the voltage division point) between the detection capacitor 29 and the voltage divider capacitor 30 is connected with one terminal of an amplifier 32 on the input side of a misfire detector 31. Here, a high voltage is produced on the secondary winding 5 of the ignition coil 25 every time an ignition signal from the engine control unit 26 causes the power transistor 27 to switch from the on state to the off state and thus cut off the supply of current to the primary winding 3 of the ignition coil 25. The current produced by this high voltage passes through the diode 22, the conductor 8 and the distributor 23 and then to the spark plug 28 where it produces a spark discharge between the terminals of the spark plug 28. The voltage of the current flowing through the conductor 8 at this time is capacitively divided by the capacitors 29, 30, and the capacitive-divided voltage is applied as a detection voltage to the misfire detector 31. The misfire detector 31 compares the waveform of the detection voltage with a reference waveform for discriminating the presence/absence of misfire.
As was explained earlier, when normal combustion does not occur and ions are therefore not produced at the gap between the electrodes of the spark plug 28, then, during the latter half of the discharge period, a current tends to be produced in the opposite direction from the direction of the normal discharge current. However, since this reverse current (tending to flow from the spark plug 28 toward the secondary winding 5) is suppressed by the diode 22, there is no possibility of the ignition voltage being canceled out by the reverse current. Thus, since there is no possibility of the waveform of the ignition voltage being disturbed by any such reverse current, accurate discrimination of the presence/absence of misfire is ensured at all times.
Since the ignition coil components such as the core, the primary and secondary windings and connector section or the like are integrally embedded in the insulator resin and the conductor 20 for detection is also embedded in the resin as a whole, any vibration it does receive will not shift the position of the conductor 20 or deform the same. In addition, since the conductor 20 for detection is located inside the ignition coil while being embedded in the resin, the conductor is isolated from changes in humidity and other ambient conditions and is also safe from the invasion of oil, grime and the like from the outside. Moreover, the insulator resin is present between the conductor 20 and the connector section as the dielectric. Thus, it is no longer needed to use the cladding of the high-voltage cable such as a material made of synthetic rubber which is readily degraded when exposed to heat or the like.
For enhancing the accuracy of voltage waveform detection, it is preferable to maximize the static capacitance of the detection capacitor 29 by reducing as far as possible the distance D, shown in FIG. 1, between the conductor 20 and the conductor 8 constituting the detection capacitor 29. However, reducing the distance D too far may lead to degradation of the insulation property by corona discharge and, therefore, may result in a high leak voltage being applied to the misfire detector through the conductor 20. In the embodiment shown in FIG. 1, a part of the resin 11 (usually epoxy resin) is present between the conductor 20 and the conductor 8. Generally speaking, however, the insulation characteristics of a resin are inferior to those of ceramics and the like. Therefore, in a configuration in which only resin is present between the conductor 20 and the conductor 8, it becomes necessary to establish a relatively large distance D so as to preclude insulation degradation due to corona discharge. Since some sacrifice of static capacitance is therefore unavoidable, the degree to which the accuracy of ignition voltage waveform detection can be improved is limited.
FIG. 3 shows an ignition coil according to a second embodiment of the invention for solving this problem. As shown in the figure, an insert 40 made up of ceramic exhibiting excellent insulation characteristics is disposed between the inner surface of the conductor 20 and the conductor 8 to take the place of the intervening resin material. When a ceramic is used as the insert 40, it is convenient to bake or bond the ceramic onto the inner surface of the conductor 20 in advance and then to embed the result integrally into the resin at the time of fabricating the ignition coil.
FIG. 4 shows an ignition coil according to a third embodiment of the invention, in which a shield member 41 is provided around the conductor 20.
The shield member 41 of FIG. 4 is fabricated from screen, net, foil or thin sheet of a good conductor material such as copper or aluminum and is disposed to be concentric with the conductor 20 at a fixed distance outward thereof. An insulation layer 42 is sandwiched between the conductor 20 and the shield member 41. The insulation layer 42 can be a resin material which also serves as a boding agent for bonding the shield member 41 to the outer surface of the conductor 20, or can be formed of the same type of the insulator resin 11. In addition, the shield member 41 can be embedded integrally in the resin at the time of completing the ignition coil. In order for the shield member 41 to exhibit a shield effect it has to be electrically grounded. Where a shielded wire is used for the aforementioned lead 21, as is normally the case, the grounding of the shield member 41 can be easily accomplished by connecting the conductive core 21A of the lead 21 to the conductor 20 and connecting the electrically grounded outer shield member 21B of the lead 21 to the shield member 41.
In the third embodiment, since the shield member 41 is provided to surround the conductor for detection. Therefore, even in a case where another conductive member is located near the connector section 7 of the ignition coil, there is little risk of the capacitance of the capacitor 29 for detection being caused to vary due to changes in the distance between the connector section 7 of the ignition coil and the conductive member or the capacitor for detection picking up noise from the conductive member. It may alternatively possible to in the third embodiment to provide, instead of the resin 11, the aforesaid ceramic insert 40 between the conductors 8 and 20.
The present invention has thus been shown and described with reference to the specific embodiments. However, it should be noted that the present invention is in no way limited to the details of the described arrangements, changes and modification may be made without departing from the scope of the appended claims.

Mazda will unveil the all-new CX-9 at the Los Angeles Auto Show in November. While most of the details are still under wraps, they've given out a preview of its design.
At a glance, Mazda clearly drew design inspiration from the latest version of their KODO - Soul of Motion body design with its more prominent wing grille and sharper headlights. The hood and wheelbase looks longer than its predecessor giving it a bigger appearance. But that's the only thing we can point out from the teaser photo we have.
Some design elements may change though such as the wheel size and wing mirrors once it goes into production. But one thing is for sure, it will be a 7-seater. Finally, Mazda also says that this all-new model will also carry the latest SKYACTIV technologies.
We'll have to wait a few more days until its official debut to get more information. Until then, you still have a few more months to buy the current Mazda CX-9 available at the AutoDeal Car Guide.

Just quoting THE HOF in the movie -- plenty to like in this gory-funny-scary-spoof -- this movie is anything but ROCK BOTOM -- my two college-aged sons want to work at the WET & WILD WATER PARK if & when it opens locally -- remember DOUBLE D SWIMS FOR FREE ! ! !
Happy holidays in any event ! ! !
the movie was good the only problem is I keep ask for the 3d and they keep sending me Blu-ray I gave up
This movie was kind of cheesy but I enjoyed it, it had some humor in it. The 3D effects are okay, but after watching Avatar and Journey to The Center of the Earth, it is hard to find other 3D movies to compare!
The nudity was tacky. I was shocked to see the nudity after the first Piranha.
Great Bluray Movie for it's price

Malatya is a town in the Eastern Anatolia region of Turkey, on the plain of the Euphrates River. Today it is best known for its apricots. Tourists may be surprised to discover how many delicious confections and desserts can be made from real Turkish apricots. Malatya is a very old community, dating back to the ancient Hittites. It was fought over by many armies, including an allied Christian and Muslim army that tried, unsuccessfully, to defend it from invading Mongols. Little in the way of architecture is left from ancient times, aside from the remains of a citadel. However, the Archaeological Museum has some fine exhibits. There are over 15,000 artifacts from Classical ancient periods, as well as some prehistoric fossils. Aslantepe, a few miles outside Malatya, was once the capital of the Hittite Empire. Some old Hittite traditions are still alive here. Battalgazi, just nine miles (14.5 km) from Malatya, was an important Byzantine city. Here you can see the Ulu Mosque, built by the Seljuk Turks in the 13th century.

To me, the photographer was the most important part of planning the wedding. I do not photograph well and my husband always does, and we talked at length how important the pictures were to both of us. I saw Lisa's ad in a magazine for seacoast brides and thought, If she can take pictures like that at my wedding I would love it. She captures the moments at the wedding, the beautiful glimpses that we usually only see for a second or miss altogether: two people smiling at each other, a nervous jiggling foot attached to an anxious bride, champagne fizzling in a flute. When I look at my wedding book, I feel like I am back in that day. My favorite picture is of my husband and I at the ceremony. Lisa caught me from over his shoulder, looking up at him as I say my vows, and I love the picture because the expression she captured was exactly how I felt at that moment.
How did the wedding photographer avoid disrupting the day? Great with candids? Action shots? Portraits?
Lisa was great with all three. She was an observer - she got everyone that was important to us in the wedding, mostly candids. People laughing, smiling, sharing our happiness. I also wanted some family portraits done and those too came out beautifully. We shot outside on the beach and inside at the reception, in light rain and sun, moving and still, in black and white as well as color. Lisa is as versatile as she is talented. I've heard from many friends that my book is like traveling back to the wedding day, and I get a lot of compliments on my pictures. I'm pretty picky, but Lisa was fantastic in every way.
What was included in your wedding photo package? Albums? DVDs? Engagement pics? Two photographers?
Lisa has many packages, all detailed on her website. The one I chose included an engagement shoot, about 2000 pictures shot over the day, 7 hours of her time, and a print book, as well as CDs that included all my prints in both black and white and color.
How did the photographer make you and family comfortable?
She was a chameleon, blending into everything. Guests commented that they hardly noticed the photographer during the entire day, but she was there whenever I needed her. She also took time to meet with me twice prior to my big day and was always available if I had any questions. We could not have been happier with our choice of photographer.

EUR/NZD reversed from resistance zone
- EUR/NZD reversed from resistance zone
- Next sell target - 1.5100
EUR/NZD continues to fall after the earlier sharp downward reversal from the resistance zone lying between the resistance level 1.5500 and the 50% Fibonacci correction of the previous sharp downward impulse from the middle of July. The downward reversal from this resistance zone continues the active minor impulse wave 3 which belongs to the extended downward impulse wave (3) from the start of May.
EUR/NZD is expected to continue the downward movement in the direction of the next sell target at the pivotal support level 1.5100 (which reversed the previous sharp downward impulse waves in July and at the start of this month).

Maybe Steel rules... after all!
This is one for Val and Wombat!
Some of you may have seen this already, found it on SA.
Allegedly the story is this boat got rolled by a freighter (I'm thinking a small one if actually true) Anyway, he's gotta be glad it was a steel boat. Apparently the mast, though upright, is a bit shorter than original too.
At anchor in Las Palmas after the incident.
OUCH! I'm trying to imagine what my fiberglas boat would look like after an impact like that. Pretty sure you would need an underwater camera to get a picture of it:-((. Must be a well built boat to still be floating. Is the guy onboard talking on a cellphone? Insurance agent maybe?
I'm thinking that it made a really loud gong-like noise... :)
A little hammering, a little Bondo, and she's back in business.
I'll bet that's his insurance agent he's talking to.
Nah, he's calling Maaco...to find out if they do boats. :)
Laugh if you dare, bath toy sailors! Gringo doesn't look as if she took on a drop.
Seriously, though, I don't know if that's fixable in the same sense that if a car's frame is bent, it's not necessarily worth repairing; you'd have to remove the entire saloon (and maybe more) to check the state of the welds and to cut out all the affected frames and stringers.
Frankly, it would be easier to cut off the entire front of the boat and reweld a new bow on. Whether you could find an insurer willing to pop for the tens of thousands necessary in order to do this is another thing entirely.
I do find it reassuring that the fellow in question got back (presumably under his own power), with no loss of his rig and still able to anchor. Any glass or wood boat hit by what I assume was a bow bulb "T-bone" would've just been some stays and turnbuckles wrapped around the bow in the next port.
Viva steel!
Of course, Valiente is neglecting the fact that a lighter boat may have been damaged far less in the same situation, since the bow wave of the boat might have pushed a lighter boat clear. This actually was the case of a fiberglass boat that got hit by a container ship a while back, every one on it survived, even though, IIRC, the captain thought she was doomed and dived overboard just prior to impact. Lost part of the rigging and had a crack in the hull... both were made good.
I think the guy's calling to have some new underwear delivered to the boat. :D
In any event, you're right, I can't imagine too many plastic fantastics surviving a collision like that, SDs "pressure wave push" aside (and I don't think I'd want to bet the bank on that :eek: )

Heller Ehrman continued its assault on London today by going back to poor old WilmerHale, which is starting to look like Heller's personal punchbag. See story.
WilmerHale has undergone a major restructuring in Europe, which has included the closure of its Munich and Oxford offices. While we can safely say that those offices were always fringe operations, London is not.
WilmerHale has sworn to maintain a corporate presence in the capital, but that has been hit badly by this second raid, which removes tax partner Christopher Prout, two senior associates, one of whom joins Heller as a partner, in addition to more junior corporate associates.
It is arbitration that remains the firm's strength – the area has grown consistently over the last three years, whereas the transactional teams have witnessed a spate of defections.
Heller, meanwhile, looks like it means business. To hear chairman Matt Larrabee's inside track on London's latest entrant, click on www.thelawyerpodcast.com.

I got up early to watch the Autumn Statement and found it hard to concentrate on what was being said, given the noise coming from the braying Tory mob. They have had so much bad news they had to latch on to any little positive thing they could find, given that one commentator this week said the Conservative Party was in danger of dying on its knees. The overly political Chancellor sneered his way through and couldn't resist throwing insults at the person he is worried about the most, his shadow, Ed Balls, who noted how badly the economy has performed during the past three and a half years.
Living standards have fallen. GDP per capita is lower than it was in 2010 when the Coalition was formed. Growth in 2012 was 0.1 per cent, compared with the 2.6 per cent the Office for Budget Responsibility forecast in November 2010. Today's OBR forecast of growth of 1.4 per cent in 2013 is less than half what it was forecasting in November 2010. Real wages have fallen every year and continue to do so. The Labour Party was quick to point out that working people are on average £1,600 a year worse off since Mr Cameron entered Downing Street. The Government is set to break its promise to balance the books by 2015 and now has its collective fingers crossed that it will be able to do so by 2019, maybe.
Ed Balls also noted that the coalition borrowing is forecast to be £198bn more than planned at the time of George Osborne's first spending review. It is hard to see anything less worth crowing about. Hardly a success story. In fact it's nothing short of an economic disaster story with a house-price crash looking almost inevitable.
A little burst of growth over the last three quarters, comparable to the growth of the economy in the three quarters of 2010 when the Chancellor inherited the economy, is nothing much to write home, about because bygones are not bygones in economics. Since the second quarter of 2010 the UK has performed worse, in output terms, than Australia, Austria, Canada, Finland, Germany, Israel, Japan, Norway, Poland, Slovakia, Sweden, Switzerland and the United States.
Great? Well, not exactly. Mr Osborne's silly little claim that the UK was growing faster than any other G7 country went up in flames two hours after he finished speaking in the House of Commons when the US Bureau of Economic Analysis upgraded its growth numbers for the third quarter of 2013, which showed that the US grew faster than the UK over the same period – 0.9 per cent versus 0.8 per cent.
A good analogy comes from a Nascar race I went to last year where cars dash anti-clockwise left-handed around a short track at more than 200mph. The UK car posted the fastest lap, but was still well behind the leaders, having already been lapped four times by the top 10 cars. Now we find out that the US car lapped even faster, and is still three and a half laps ahead.
A great deal of Mr Osborne's hopes for growth between now and 2015 rests on their being a substantial rise in real wages, that is to say on worker's buying power. In part, that will be helped by the fall in inflation to around 2 per cent that is expected to come.
In 2010 the OBR said real wages would get back to their pre-recession levels in 2013, but that has now been pushed back to 2018. Today the OBR is forecasting nominal wage growth of 2.6 per cent in 2014, 3.3 per cent in 2015, 3.5 per cent in 2016, 3,7 per cent in 2017, and 3.8 per cent in 2018. That isn't going to happen: no way, no how. As someone who has spent most of his career working on wage determination, take it from me: that is much too optimistic.
Wage growth is driven by both outsider and insider forces. Outsider forces are essentially how easy it is for firms to hire workers, so as the unemployment rate falls, wage pressure increases. The rate at which wages rise will depend how close we are to full employment, which is probably around 5 per cent, so unemployment rates well above that are likely to keep pushing down on wages. Insider forces are the ability to pay by firms. As profits rise wages tend to go up as everyone shares in the spoils, but there is little sign that is going to happen as employers want the returns for themselves. Plus there is still a public-sector pay freeze and public-sector workers continue to be fired in droves. Workers are worried about job security, and they want more hours at going-wage rates, which means wages won't rise much for years.
If the good times had really started to roll we should have seen some movement in the polling data. The YouGov/Sun poll taken on 4-5 December was very bad news for the Tories, giving Labour a lead of 12 percentage points. Of those who voted Tory in 2010, 22 per cent said they would vote for Ukip, compared with 9 per cent of Liberal Democrats and 4 per cent of Labour voters.
YouGov also has some other data which warrant our attention and which do not augur well for the two Coalition parties' hopes for the 2015 election.
The graph shows the proportion of people in 864 surveys conducted since May 2010 who say they disapprove of the Government's record to date. On average, since 1 January 2011, 57 per cent of respondents say they disapprove of the Government's record, 28 per cent say they approve, while 15 per cent don't know. The first row of the table shows how little that lack of approval has changed, including over the last month.
The story is similar for three other questions in the table. First, respondents were asked: "Do you think the Tories and the Liberal Democrats are working well together?" Since 2011 a majority say "badly". Second, respondents were asked: "Do you think the Coalition Government is good or bad for people like you?" Since 2011 the majority say "bad". Finally, respondents in 138 surveys were asked: "Do you support or oppose the Coalition Agreement between the Tories and the Liberal Democrats?" The minority have supported the Coalition since the start with a big jump in 2011 which has remained constant. Interestingly, just as with the polling data, there has been little change in any of these surveys, despite the Coalition's claims that all is well on the western, northern, eastern and southern fronts. Time will tell.Reuse content

GARRETH CARVELL insists Challenge Cup glory is only the start of Warrington's ambitions.
Now he has targeted Grand Final victory. Prop forward Carvell, 31, said: "Rightly or wrongly, champions are measured by Grand Finals and we want to be champions so, that is what we have to do.
"It's strange. First past the post is the sign of a true champion — won the most games and scored the most points.
"But this year we are going to finish second yet we still have a chance of the Grand Final. So, it works for us as well."

The Top 7 Short Game Mistakes
I've written about lots of topics here over the past few months, but this is "TheWedgeGuy", right ? So, I've been encouraged to outline what I believe are the most common mistakes golfers make around the greens that prevents them from optimizing their scoring. So here goes, not in any particular order:
1. Tempo - Maybe the most common error I see is a tempo that is too quick and "jabby". In my upcoming book, "The Secrets of Scoring", I talk about "gravity" being the key to developing a solid tempo for your chips and pitches. I also wrote about this in this month's EIDOLON NEWS. Comparing golf to painting a room, your short shots are your "trim brushes" – a slower stroke delivers more precision.
2. Set Up/Posture - To hit good chips and pitches, you need to get down more to the ball. Get closer to your work for better precision. Too many golfers I see stand tall and grip the club to the end.
3. Grip Pressure - A very light grip on the club is essential to good touch and proper release through the impact zone. Trust me, you cannot hold a golf club too lightly – your body won't let you. Concentrate on your forearms; if you can feel any tenseness in the muscles in your forearms, you're holding on too tightly.
4. Hand position - Another topic I delve into deeply in "The Secrets of Scoring". Watch the tour players hit short shots on TV. Their arms are hanging naturally so that their hands are very close to their upper thighs at address and through impact. Copy that and your short game will improve dramatically.
5. Lack of Body Core Rotation - When you're hitting short shots, the hands and arms have to begin and stay in front of the torso throughout the swing. If you don't rotate your chest and shoulders back and through, you won't develop good consistency in distance or contact.
6. Club selection - Every pitch or chip is different, so don't try to hit them all with the same club. I see two major errors here. Some golfers always grab the sand wedge when they miss a green. If you have lots of green to work with and don't need that loft, a PW or 9-iron will give you much better results. The other error is that golfers are afraid of their wedge and are trying to hit tough recoveries with 8- and 9-irons. That doesn't work either. Go to your practice green and see what happens with different clubs, then take that knowledge to the course.
7. Clubhead/grip relationship - This error falls into two categories. The first is those golfers who forward press so much that they dramatically change the loft of the club. At address and impact the grip should be slightly ahead of the clubhead. I like to focus on the hands, rather than the club, and just think of my left hand leading my right through impact. Which brings me to the other error – allowing the clubhead to pass the hands through impact. If you let the clubhead do that, good shots just cannot happen. And that is caused by you trying to "hit" the ball with the clubface, rather than swinging the entire club through impact.
So, there are my Top 7. Obviously there are others, but if you eliminate those, your short game will get better in a hurry.

Ouch ! No. 7 hurt me bad and gave me something to work on this weekend...if the temperature gets under 105 !
BTW - No. 6 hurt me too. Uh, as did No. 5 and No.'s 1 and 3 were a bit tender too !
webster says:
What's your opinion on the use of the club's bounce in the short game? We've been told countless times that in order to successfully chip/pitch that the clubhead needs to strike the ball cleanly with descending blow. What I've noticed is that most players now over-exaggerate the forward press totally negating the bounce angle on their wedges. This means they must make absolutely pure contact else the club will dig on a slightly fat hit. I remember n segment from a old Masters driving range demonstation where one of the pros demonstrated how they deliberately sole the club slightly behind the ball on virtually all short game shots allowing the clubs sole to simply slide along the ground and then under the ball. They explained the margin for error was greatly increase when this technique is used. This was one of the greatest epiphanies for me in the game of golf and it took me from an average player around the greens to a very good one. I no longer have fear of hitting it fat or thin.
golfguy says:
This is great! I will most likely point to this post in my blog for golfers to ready. I like No.#5 the best. Allows for a simplification of the swing with more consistency.

|Viceroy Bali, Ubud
Viceroy Bali, Ubud, Indonesia
There seems to be a never-ending catalogue of luxury accommodations in Bali, so many so that I'd rarely opt to visit the same place twice. With countless options to try why repeat an experience? Returning to the same location might rob me of the opportunity to find something even better right?
|The Viceroy Bali, Ubud
Viceroy Bali however is a clear exception to my rule. Nestled in the lushness of the Petanu Valley, these opulent villas are not only of premium location, but their elegant design is amongst the finest I've had the fortune to discern. A year ago, I spent a glorious three days in the remarkable Viceroy Bali. Hubby in Venezuela, I was travelling with a friend, so missed sharing this beautiful property with him. I've been itching to revisit ever since so that he too could share in my adoration for this stunning estate.
|Sun Bed
My eagerness though seems to balance out his disbelief. "You always find the good. You never see the bad." In line with our core characters, me seeking the positive, him forever noting the negative, he's not 100% convinced that the Viceroy Bali is quite as wonderful as I report.
Our transport passes through security and we begin the short decent down the hill towards reception. I stay mute and wait for hubby's reaction. He is so busy goggling the luxury cars on our left and rattling off some mind-numbing fact he's read about a particular model that I have to nudge him to see the helipad on the right. I smile a little as I see his eyes twinkle.
|Shady Spot
This family owned property consists of 25 luxury villas each with its own pool and stunning valley view. Everything is executed with attention to detail and fittings, technology and accessories are of supreme quality.
|Villa Pool
|Deluxe Garden Terrace Villa
Complimentary Wi-Fi, 42" flat screen TV, full satellite service, DVD player and iPod/ iPhone docking station, keep Viceroy Bali firmly up with the times. Illy coffee is used in the espresso machine and shampoo, moisturizer and soaps with wonderful aromas are made from natural ingredients and produced on the island.
|Luxurious Bath Products
The bathroom makes me want to renovate our home and replicate the Viceroy design. Shower and toilet cubicles on opposing walls are separated by a splendid bathtub big enough for two. Twin basins are each equipped with their own set of luxury bath products including good quality toothbrushes, not the cheap type that leave bristles in your teeth!
|Deluxe Garden Terrace Bathroom
Turn down service, where slippers and robes are left by our bed, water on the dresser and, a handmade truffle placed on our pillow continues to impress. Hubby struts around in the soft bathrobe, admiring the marble, sandstone and giant pillars supporting the curved ceiling over our heated pool, proclaiming he feels like a king. Viceroy Bali is started to take its hold.
|Bedroom of Deluxe Garden Terrace Villa
CasCades restaurant and bar is where we spend our first evening and by now hubby is appreciating my words of excitement that I've whispered for the past year. An open-walled pavilion unlatches panoramas with a thatched roofscape in the immediate foreground, profuse tropical foliage of the ravine in the middle, and the misty tree line backed by ever-changing skies as the ultimate backdrop.
|Pool and CasCades Restaurant
Helmed by Belgian Chef Nic Vanderbeeken the kitchen produces fusion cuisine with clear European roots. An assertive focus on using only the highest quality of ingredients, many of which are organic and sourced locally on the island, ensures food at its very best. We partake in a six course tasting menu and are blown away by the Hungarian Foie Gras, Marinated Scallops and dessert – all of them. Chef's Caramel Crunch has me oohing and aahing and Banana Fritter drizzled with salted caramel leaves an enormous smile of satisfaction on hubby's face.
|Table with a View
Breakfast is served for a short period from 7am – 10am too at CasCades. It's the place to witness the sun rising over the valley and sip on a good cup of coffee, with the morning rays caressing your skin and, pristine air wafting in from the valley encouraging deep respiration. Pastries here are a must as are the Balinese Benedict and Mango Trifle.
Lembah spa and beauty centre shares the same spectacular views over the valley with the rest of Viceroy Bali. Terraced down the hillside three levels of reception and treatment rooms invite hours of pampering. Swiss trained therapists offer skilled techniques but their warm Balinese hands add a soft caring touch.
|Lembah Spa
Although we have our own private dipping pool perfect for skinny-dipping at any time of day, the valley-top infinity pool is so divine it's worth putting on a bathing suit to visit at least once. Sun chairs shaded with white umbrellas and, day beds privatised with floaty fabric curtains, dot the lawn border. The curved edge appears to drop over the side of the ravine with nothing but coconut palms, jungle vines and cerulean skies in sight.
With villas founded down the slope, the walk to the lobby and common areas can be quite steep. I love the bum-tightening angle and heart-pumping hike up the stone walled path. I feel like I'm wondering through the grounds of an ancient castle. Hubby however does not, and dials for the buggy every time we depart. He delights at the sound of his name called by our 'butler', "Mr. Caning, your transport is ready," lapping up the personal attention.
Facilities are completed with a modern gymnasium (open 24 hours), a library and meeting room.
|Meeting Room and Library
Viceroy Bali is minutes away by complimentary shuttle to Ubud. Restaurants, cafés, bars, charming boutiques and bric-a-brac shops merit at least a few hours of exploration. Go further afield and you can see verdant rice terraces, an active volcano, craft villages and the beautifully green landscape of rolling hills and tropical vegetation in the area.
|Shuttle to Ubud
Time passes too quickly and before we're ready to say goodbye our sojourn at the Viceroy Bali has come to a close. This story has a different ending to the first however. Now, it's hubby who is singing the praises of the Viceroy. "Fantastico, maravilloso, increible!" to all who will listen. Viceroy Bali is undoubtedly one of our top choices for luxury stays around the world.
Reasons to visit: mind-clearing valley views; luxurious spacious and private design of villas; perfect for couples; small boutique property with personalised service to match; CasCades restaurant.

Writing Final Days, that is. Or when I say it's over, what I mean is: I've finished it to the point where I'm thoroughly sick of it. So it's been emailed off to my agent and editor and at some point, assuming they're happy with what I've produced, I'll get it back, with editorial suggestions scrawled all over it, and I'll have to read the damn thing again. And then there'll be a typesetter's comments (not counting any 'first readers'), and then I'll have to read the damn thing again. Carefully. And then, if all is well, I'll get a copy of the page proofs to read, and, yes, I'll have to read the damn thing. Again. Very carefully. Searching for those niggling little errors.
And I'll still get email pointing out that somebody drives up in a balloon-wheeled truck on page XXX and departs on the following page in the same vehicle, which has miraculously swapped balloon wheels for tractor treads. There will always be mistakes (and please note, if you spot them, I am grateful to hear of them. If nothing else, it keeps me on my toes).

Really, that's just so ... cute-adorable-squealworthy of you! *squeals and blushes* I especially loved the way you wrote Yugi, giving him a bit of agression and daring that sometimes seems to lack in other fics.

By Christine Dugas, USA TODAY
South Bend, Ind., has recently been in the shadow of nearby Elkhart. But the lack of attention has been good for the local housing market.
That's because Elkhart, known as the RV capital of the world due to the number of people employed in the recreational vehicle industry there, has become emblematic of the nation's financial meltdown (President Obama has visited the area twice). Although South Bend's unemployment rate is rising, it has not been as hard hit as Elkhart. Like Elkhart, South Bend has long been known as a manufacturing town. Formerly home to Studebaker, South Bend is now home to AM General, which manufactures military vehicles, such as the Humvee.
But South Bend, the county seat of St. Joseph County, is more diversified. It's home to the University of Notre Dame and Indiana University South Bend, and the education and health care industries are among its major employers. That's helped reduce and delay the recession's impact, says Grant Black, director of IU South Bend's Bureau of Business and Economic Research.
But that doesn't mean that the housing market isn't feeling the pinch. Unemployment and economic worries have slowed home sales, which were down 21.9% in June, compared with the same month in 2008.
"I think a lot of people are afraid about losing their job," says Linda Hall, president of the Greater South Bend-Mishawaka Association of Realtors.
The housing market also has been hurt by Elkhart's unemployment, as many people who work there live in South Bend.
At least South Bend avoided the bubble, and home prices have remained affordable, Hall says. A recent spate of foreclosures has dropped prices further.
Still, the housing market has shown improvement: In the past two months, sales are picking up. Local real estate agents have been showing homes to first-time home buyers who want to take advantage of a tax credit and low prices, Hall says. "In 2008, it was all gloom, and now, the market is in an upswing," she says.

I occasionally have robot contests where the winners get a full refund on their Axon. Most people who enter - and complete their entry - win. It usually just involves writing about and/or making a video of your Axon-controlled robot (any type you want).I'll probably announce another in a month or so, when I have more time.
I will try and ask for old electronics, but don't expect to find me in a dumpster. Maybe behind admins house though. He has to have some good stuff in there =P

In a recent continuing discussion about whether Hingham should withdraw from Plymouth County, former Selectman Laura Burns — speaking as a private citizen who in the past represented the board on the Plymouth County Advisory Board — suggested the formation of a study committee.
Burns continues to work with Hingham resident Carl Harris, a member of the Plymouth County Charter Commission, who believes Hingham should withdraw from the County. Not all members of the commission agree with him.
In a recent continuing discussion about whether Hingham should withdraw from Plymouth County, former Selectman Laura Burns — speaking as a private citizen who in the past represented the board on the Plymouth County Advisory Board — suggested the formation of a study committee.
Burns continues to work with Hingham resident Carl Harris, a member of the Plymouth County Charter Commission, who believes Hingham should withdraw from the County. Not all members of the commission agree with him.
Selectmen Chair Bruce Rabuffo supported Burn's study committee idea in order "to study the benefits and costs of possible withdrawal from Plymouth County. We want to know what the implications would be." Each selectman would weigh in on who they feel should sit on such a committee. "This is a long process," he said.
Selectman Irma Lauter said she's "not ready to throw Plymouth County under the bus yet. It's a struggle. Nobody wants to give up power."
While Burns listed a number of reasons why she thinks withdrawing is a good idea, she also stated, "At the same time, I think the current PC commissioners are great and have done a tremendous amount of good work."
A key question is whether Hingham residents are receiving benefits commensurate with the funding the town pays into the PC government – currently about $126,000 a year – for the services it provides, including:
· 4-H programs
· the fire spotter airplane
· Hingham District Court maintenance
· Registry of Deeds.
It's not yet clear how withdrawal would affect these services and which could be provided in other ways, as well as associated costs. "We want to do what's right for the town," Harris said.
"Just think what we could do with that money," Burns said, stating that the town receives limited benefits for what it pays. "Why are we spending these taxpayer funds on this superstructure?" she asked. Burns further noted, "Most registries in the state [of Massachusetts] are run by the state."
The Selectmen are still waiting for an answer to a letter they sent to the advisory board several months ago seeking information related to this issue. Asst. Town Administrator Betty Foley followed up recently and said a response is expected soon.
Harris is recommending that the Selectmen approve a resolution to seek the means to withdraw from Plymouth County or to see it dissolved.
"Whatever the merits of the services provided by PC, this is a time when most municipalities are facing diminished revenues and increased costs for education, healthcare, pension benefits, road repair, and maintaining municipal services like fire, police, and other emergency/public health services.
"It is clear that Hingham receives little benefit from being a member of Plymouth County and the funds paid to support this unneeded government could be better spent in the Hingham town government for teachers, safety officers, and the like," he stated in a report presented to the Selectmen.
Harris noted that between 1997 and 1999 the Massachusetts legislature abolished Berkshire, Essex, Hampshire, Middlesex, Suffolk, Worcester, Franklin, and Hampden counties, with many of the duties/obligations of these former counties transferred to the state. These eight counties represent 4.6 million of the state's total population of 6.5 million, or just over 70 percent, according to Harris.
"It is not clear why the state did not elect at that time to abolish the county system as a whole and redistribute administration and costs to the state; but whatever the reasons, it is no longer possible to justify – and sustain – the dual system," Harris stated.
Following a failed prior effort, another attempt to define a charter for PC government now sites in the state legislature awaiting approval. "If the legislature reports out the ballot proposal for a charter, then voters could decide in November 2014 the role of Plymouth County government in their lives," Harris said. "The proposed charter calls for many new county services, such as assessment of real and personal property; police, fire, and other public safety services; sewage collection, treatment, and disposal, and others."
The question, he said, is what should Hingham do – "turn over services we now do to Plymouth County or withdraw from the country government structures" and what would the associated costs, benefits, and penalties be.
The Selectmen will revisit the subject at a future meeting. The Hingham League of Women Voters is also studying the issue.

Japhur's Father Convinces Japhur to Go to America
Father said, "Oh my son, you misunderstand this big chance. I don't know who explained the America to you, but it's not true. Of course, there are some problems like eating food, making new friends when you arrive there. But think positively. You can make plans and do what you want. I mean, there are no people who oppose your own decision such as me. You can travel where you want to go and you can play with your friends through the whole night." After listening, i thought father was right. "That sounds ...not bad. I'll go to the America to enjoy my life. My decision will not change ." Father replied, " Good choice son. Oh I forgot to tell you something." I asked, "What's that, father?" He said, "I don't have enough money to buy an airplane ticket. so, you should take a part-time job if you want to go to the America. Ha-ha. I'm sorry son."

The good news is that the legal saga continues, which means that Jason Goodman stands a good chance of being able to finally lay claim to what he must surely feel is his birthright. The bad news is that the legal saga continues, which means that more money will be spent on lawyers. The case has been ratcheted up a notch as Stevens' recent application to end it, based upon his own declaration, along with screen-dumps of his then out of date web-site was recently denied, meaning that unless he can reach a settlement with Goodman, the fight will rage on for the name Atlas Comics and, if the case runs its full course, a resolution might not be sighted on the horizon until well into 2013, and could easily extend into 2014 and beyond. That's not too shabby for a case that was opened in late September 2010 and is still contested.
What remains open for debate is if Jeffrey Stevens has actually produced a comic book for sale. Since 2010 Jason Goodman's Atlas Comics has produced several comics and is producing more. Conversely Jeffrey Stevens, who filed for the Atlas Comics name in 2002 and was handed it in 2005, has yet to produce a comic book that anyone, outside of himself, has seen or recorded. As the Trademark Board commented, "The appearance of the ATLAS COMICS mark in a promotional flyer and in respondent's correspondence does not establish that the mark is or has been in use on comic books."

It looks like 1,000 PST September 42 calls traded at 0.25 (-0.85) with 10 contracts open. PST closed at 40.51. I don't know if they were bought or sold-to-open but interesting move there.
