Tonight I fixed up the clutch linkage for good (I hope). First, I went out and bought a new shoulder bolt that was the correct length (and a new nylon locking nut).
It is a 1/2" long shoulder with a 5/16" shoulder diameter and the size is perfect for this application. It actually works better than the OEM rod. The OEM rod is 3/4" long and about 5/16" OD (actually seems a hair smaller). The cotter pin reduces the working length of the rod to 5/8". This results in about 1/8" of side-to-side slop in the linkage.
And after looking at the OEM design a little more, I have determined that the cotter pin holds the rod in place, and the plastic piece (shown in the photo above) acts as a secondary attachment method in case the cotter pin fails. I have a feeling that my cotter pin broke long ago, and this little piece of plastic has been holding it together since then.
^(I just realized I put the wrench and allen key on the wrong sides in this photo. Oops)
I found that the width of the linkage in the car (non removable) is basically identical to the open end of the 7/16" wrench I was using. I used a table vice and this wrench to bend the U bracket back into the correct shape/width and straighten it out.
As seen in the pictures from yesterday it used to be much, much wider than it needed to be, and it was also quite crooked (even after straightening it a bit). Before I straightened it at all (when it failed) it had a severe bend (close to 45 degrees) and was spread apart even wider than yesterday's photos.
The 1/2" length of the new shoulder bolt is basically perfect. The nut tightens down onto the shoulder of the bolt without actually putting any tension on the linkage, so there is zero binding. But there is very minimal free space (much less than OEM), so much less side-to-side movement is possible.
Once I had it all straightened out the way I wanted I put it back in the car. I threaded the U joint on until the holes in the U joint and the hole in the linkage lined up if the clutch was fully released, and the MC rod was fully extended. This puts the clutch engagement point near the middle of the pedal travel. Much better than near the floor like it had been.
Getting the locking nut tightened down onto the back of the U bracket was quite a task. With very little room to work with I ended up using a 13mm crow's foot, 2" extension, universal swivel joint, 8" extension, and 3/8" drive ratchet all connected together. This did work and it should be locked in place now. Locking this down would be much easier to do with the MC removed from the car.
You can see that it is all very straight and there is barely any room for side to side motion. In the photos the nut is tightened down on to the shoulder of the bolt, but there is still a tiny bit of room on either side of the linkages, so that they don't bind at all.
This is how this linkage should have been connected from the factory. It has much less side-to-side movement possible and won't fail like the OEM cotter pin and plastic nub did. Subaru just wanted to save a few dollars and went with the cheaper, and easier to assemble method of connecting the linkage. I happened to look over and see that the brake uses the same connection...
The rod and cotter pin setup is identical to the clutch linkage. You can see the side-to-side slop that is possible here. I may want to preemptively replace this at some point. Right now it still looks fine. I honestly don't think it's likely to fail unless it is assembled incorrectly (as the clutch could have been since the dealer replaced the MC). I did notice that the U bracket on the brake appears to be hardened vs. the softer clutch U bracket, so it should be a lot less likely to bend.
Parts Used: 5/16" OD Shoulder Bolt with 1/2" Shoulder Length and Accompanying Nylon Locking Nut

Last week, I was delighted to help host KCSD Teacher Forum's Cornbread and Issues. This annual event serves as a time for representatives from our state delegation to answer questions about education. I found our representatives to be thoughtful and knowledgeable. Not only do they care about our district; all struck me as true advocates for public education. I'm sure I speak for everyone in Teacher Forum when I say how appreciative I am for these people to take time out of their busy schedules to show support for Kershaw County educators. Thank you.

The present invention relates to a method and a system of extending the effective operating range and selectivity of an infrared remote control system of the type used with audio and video equipment.
One of the pervasive features of consumer audio and video electronic components in recent years has been and continues to be the handheld remote control. The handheld remote control sends control signals to the controlled device by irradiating the device with infrared energy generated by infrared photo emitter diodes. The controlled device receives a pattern of intermittent irradiation or illumination comprising a control signal.
The remote control unit has stored patterns corresponding to push buttons assigned to various functions of the controlled device. Activating a button causes the excitation of the photo emitter diode according to the stored pattern, thereby generating and transmitting a control signal. Control signals tend to be short words of data representing a low order numeric signal corresponding to some function of the controlled electronic appliance. Conventionally, infrared (IR) remote control units use a carrier frequency of between 10 kHz and 75 kHz. The controlled device receives the signal with a photo detection diode and circuitry that interprets as logical lows and highs the alternating illumination of the photo emitter diode on the remote control unit. Such a signal corresponds to the pattern stored in the remote control unit.
Various manufacturers have selected unique numeric codes to control their devices. This unique coding has allowed differentiation between such devices. For instance, a Brand X VCR will have a limited vocabulary of signals that influence its action. The Brand Y television will have a different limited vocabulary of signals. If a signal is not present within a device's vocabulary, the device will do nothing. With several devices, each having a distinct and limited vocabulary, a single universal remote control can control all of them, distinctly.
While infrared transmission of control signals is an inexpensive and reliable means of controlling one or more devices, it suffers from several shortcomings. The remote control unit transmits much as a flashlight illuminates. All transmissions propagate strictly along lines of sight. If walls, enclosures, furniture, or people block the path between the remote control unit and the controlled device, the controlled signal is occluded and the device cannot respond. A VCR in a cabinet enclosure will not respond.
Further, as in an auditorium or restaurant, if several of the same brand and model of device are present, a single signal might affect a plurality of those devices present. As only those of the units that the remote control unit illuminates by the emission of its photo emitter diode will receive the signal, the number of units that respond may not always be uniform or predictable.
In U.S. Pat. No. 4,809,359, issued Feb. 28, 1989, and U.S. Pat. No. 5,142,397, issued Aug. 25, 1992, the inventor Dockery teaches a system for extending the range of an infrared remote control system. The system comprises two units known as repeaters. The first repeater receives the infrared control signal from the handheld remote control unit and translates that signal to a corresponding UHF radio frequency signal. The second repeater, located remotely from the first and adjacent to the controlled device, receives the UHF signal and reconstitutes it into an infrared control signal equal to that the handheld remote control unit sent to the first repeater. The controlled device then receives it and responds just as it would to the handheld remote control unit.
The advantage to the Dockery system is that it teaches a signal that will pass through obstructions. The handheld remote control and first repeater of the Dockery patent can control a VCR and second repeater entirely enclosed within a cabinet or even in a second room. Such a system of repeaters allows for a home entertainment system that is inconspicuous within a room or a centrally wired programming center that is remote from the television unit.
The Dockery teaching has several disadvantages however. Principal among those disadvantages is the lack of selectivity. The infrared remote control device will transmit only within a single room and within that room only to those devices illuminated by the photo emitter diode. The first repeater in Dockery's patent, on the other hand, will transmit through walls and other structures. In a home, apartment building, or other area with multiple repeater sets present, one first repeater can be in signal communication with several of the second repeater units. This "crosstalk" between signal units may result in the unintended control of several controlled devices, especially devices outside of the presence of the viewer or listener.
The instant invention provides a system and a method of addressably transmitting RF control signals to an addressed receiver for controlling IR controlled devices. Rather than to simply transmit an unqualified signal interpretable by all receivers in signal proximity to the transmitter apparatus, as with the Dockery system, the instant invention embeds an address into the RF signal within the transmitter apparatus. Only those receiver apparatuses that recognize the embedded address within the signal will respond.
The system of the present invention comprises a transmitter that receives the infrared control signal from the handheld remote control unit and converts that signal into an electronic or digital signal, adds an address to that signal, and converts that signal into an RF signal. A receiver receives the RF signal and examines the signal for the presence of the address; if the address is present, it strips the address from the signal; converts that signal to an infrared control signal, and transmits the infrared control signal to the controlled device. The transmitted infrared control signal thus mimics that initially received by the transmitter unit.
The transmitter includes a photo detector diode that receives infrared control signals from the handheld remote control unit supplied with the controlled device. Several configurations of the transmitter will serve the inventive purposes of this invention. In one embodiment, the transmitter mounts on the handheld remote control unit in a manner that places the photo detector diode in close proximity and signal communication with the IR transmitting diode on the handheld remote control. The transmitter alternately may stand-alone but be in close proximity to the viewer or listener as they operate the handheld remote control, aiming it at the stand-alone device.
In yet another configuration, the transmitter is able to "learn" infrared control signals in the manner taught by Tigwell in U.S. Pat. No. 5,227,780. In such a configuration, the viewer or listener programs the transmitter unit by placing that unit in close proximity to the handheld remote control. The viewer or listener then selectively activates functions of the handheld remote control unit while the transmitter is in a receptive state to "learn"the corresponding function. The received IR signal is then stored in association with that function within the transmitter. When the viewer or listener then wishes to activate that function on the controlled device, the viewer or listener activates the corresponding buttons on the transmitter unit. The transmitter then treats the stored signal associated with the function as though the transmitter had just received the control signal.
Still further, an RF remote is provided to send the RF signals to a receiver in proximity with the controlled device. The receiver then converts the received RF signals into IR signals that are understood by the controlled device.
Once the transmitter receives an infrared control signal, it stores that signal in electronic form in a buffer. The transmitter then augments the signal with a stored digital signal that serves to identify the transmitter or controlled device. In its augmented form, the transmitter sends the RF signal to the RF receiver. The transmitter might have one or a plurality of stored digital identification signals. Where a plurality exists, the viewer or listener may actively select the identification signal to augment the stored control signal.
The receiver remains in a constant receptive state. When the receiver receives any radio frequency signal, it examines that signal for the presence of the digital identification signal stored within the receiver apparatus. Once the receiver receives that signal and recognizes the stored identification code, the receiver strips the code from the signal; converts the rest of the signal to an IR signal, and transmits that IR signal to the controlled device.
In accordance with further aspects of the invention, the invention differentiates the intended receiver from a plurality of receiver apparatuses, each of which has an identification code distinct from that stored in the intended receiver. These aspects of the invention allow its non-interactive operation in an environment filled by a plurality of transmitter apparatus/receiver pairs.
In accordance with other aspects of the invention, two remote receiver apparatuses with the same stored identification code would control distinct devices in locations remote from each other. For example, a single operator might have a satellite receiver feeding programs to several television sets in several rooms. The operator can control the satellite receiver at each of the television sites using one receiver to control the television and a second receiver to control the remotely located satellite receiver.
The preferred embodiment of the present invention is described in detail below with reference to the following drawings.
Referring to the drawings in detail, and particularly to
An IR photo detector diode 110 is the input device for the invention. The photo detector diode 110 receives a serial bit control signal 50 from the handheld remote control unit, generally an infrared control signal with a carrier frequency of between 10 and 75 kHz. Of course, any frequency range may be used consistent with this invention. Commercially available IR remote control units use several modulation schemes to encode IR commands to the controlled device. Because IR transmission characteristics vary greatly in intensity from the center of the beam to the edges, no practical modulations scheme will use amplitude modulation to define control signals.
The photo detector diode 110 acts as its own demodulator in any IR communications application. Infrared radiation is that class of electromagnetic radiation with a frequency of between 1012 and 1014 Hz. The photo detector diode 110 will only trigger in the presence of infrared radiation and, when triggered, passes a constant current. The latency of the diode smoothes adjacent sampled highs into a single pulse. Thus, the signal from the photo detector diode 110 amplified by the amplifier 120 to logical levels requires no further demodulation.
The presence of an incoming control signal triggers a signal detector 150 which sends a logical high to the multiplexor 160. Contemporaneously, the signal loads the First In First Out ("FIFO") buffer 130, where the buffer delays all or a portion of the signal just long enough to place an identification code stored within the code register 140 at the beginning of the control signal. The identification code might be stored at the code register 140 by any of several means. For instance, Dual In-Line Package ("DIP") switches can carry the code, as can EPROM chips, Flash ROM, or an array of digital latches. Often code registers may be registers within a micro-controller rather than discrete integrated circuits. These alternatives allow the transmitter 100 to be constructed with a single stored code or, alternatively, to allow the user to set the code from among a range of possibilities.
Thus, with each cycle of instruction sensed by the IR Photo Diode 110, the multiplexor 160 allows the annunciation of the stored identification code in the code register 140 and then draws the signal from the FIFO buffer, completing the augmented control signal. The multiplexor 160 then conveys the augmented control signal to an RF transmitter 170 for radiation through the antenna.
The augmented control signal is a digital signal. To transmit the augmented control signal, the transmitter 100 must impress that control signal onto a carrier signal of any suitable frequency. The augmented control signal passes through a modulator 170 for modulation. Modulation schemes for radio frequency ("RF") transmission of a digital signal use the carrier signal as a pulse train rather than to convey all of the additional information in a continuous analog stream. Any suitable scheme for transmission will use some form of pulsed carrier such as square pulses, or raised cosine pulses, or sync function (Nyquist) pulses.
The RF transmitter 180 is low-power radio systems commercially available from any of a number of manufacturers such as RF Monolithics, Inc., which typically transmit less than 1 milliwatt of power and operate over distances of 5 to 100 meters. In the case of chips from RF Monolithics, Inc., the modulator 180 is located on the chip. Thus, a digital signal input to the chip produces a modulated RF signal at the antenna. "On chip" modulation is not necessary for the invention. Because the science of radio transmission is well known, a manufacturer may readily use discrete components for modulation and demodulation of the RF signal. The transmitter is selected from such RF products as are certified to comply with local low-power communications regulations such that these systems do not require a license or "air time fee" for operation. At this point, the signal leaves the transmitter 100 through an antenna 190.
At an antenna 210, the augmented RF control signal enters the receiver 200. The antenna 210 conveys that augmented control signal to the RF receiver 220 selected from any of the compatible receivers from any of the same manufacturers that supplied the RF transmitter. As in the case of the transmitter, demodulation of the RF augmented control signal can occur on the chip where such chips are available, otherwise, demodulation occurs at a demodulator 230. In addition, as in the RF transmitter, a particular demodulation scheme is not necessary so long as the scheme matches the modulation scheme at the transmitter 100. From the RF receiver 220 and demodulator 230, an amplifier 235 boosts the voltage of the augmented signal to digital logic levels. A code detector 250 analyzes the inbound augmented control signal from the amplifier 230 and compares the code at the leading edge of the augmented control signal with that stored in a second code register 240, where an identification code is stored. If the code detector 250 determines that the received code is the same as the stored code, it sends a gating logical high to the multiplexor 260 that blanks that portion of the augmented control signal corresponding to the code and allows the remainder of the augmented control signal 60 to pass to the infrared photo diode emitter 270. As reconstructed, the remainder of the augmented control signal 60 should mimic the inbound control signal 50 at the transmitter. The infrared photo diode emitter 270 is in signal proximity to the infrared sensor on the TV, VCR, or other controlled device. The circuitry diagram shows one infrared photo diode emitter 270 for simplicity. Alternatively, a plurality of such photo diodes can be included to allow for the control of a plurality of such devices from a single transmitter 100 and receiver 200 pair.
In each instance (
Upon receiving an infrared control signal 192, the transmitter 100 converts the code to an electronic control signal, much as the controlled device would, in order to process the signal.
The receiver augments the infrared code signal by the addition of the programmed identification code 193. Augmenting, in the instance of the preferred embodiment, means placing the programmed electronic identification code at the leading edge of the control signal. Alternatively, the identification code may be placed at the trailing edge or embedded within the control signal. The signal might even be encrypted by an algorithm using the identification code as a key along with a confirmatory header within the control signal. The augmenting might not be distinct from the modulation step 194, for instance, the carrier frequency chosen by the transmitter may be a function of the programmed code in the code register 140. Any means of concatenating or embedding the identification code within the control signal may be used.
Once the transmitter 100 augments the control signal, it converts that electronic control signal to an RF signal in a process known as modulation 194 for transmission to the receiver 200. Generally, a transmitter 100 will transmit control codes over RF using UHF frequencies. The transmitter must impress the control code onto a carrier signal in the UHF band. Modulation may be by any of several means such as pulse width, serial data, pulse code, pulse position, or modulation by phase. Such modulation options are dictated by the choice of commercially available RF receivers and RF transmitters but no particular modulation or frequency ranges are required. Once modulation 194 occurs, the signal is transmitted 195.
The processing shifts to the receiver 200. Like the transmitter 100, the receiver 200 waits in a receptive state 291. The RF receiver 220 is responsive to control signals at the transmitted frequency and modulated by the appropriate means. The signal is, then, demodulated, i.e., the augmented control signal is distilled from the RF augmented control signals received at the receiver 220 in a process that is the inverse of that selected to modulate the augmented control signal at 194. After receiving and demodulating the signal, the receiver 200 checks the received signal for the presence of the identification code stored within the receiver 292. Unless the identification code is present, the receiver 200 returns to a receptive state 291. If the identification code is present, the receiver 200 treats the signal as an augmented control signal and then strips the code from the received augmented control signal 294.
Once the receiver 200 strips the identification code from the augmented signal, the remaining control signal should mimic that received at step 192. The receiver now at step 295 sends the control signal to the controlled electronic device by means of the photo emitter diode 270.
A further embodiment of the invention includes a database with codes for all controlled devices commercially available. A look-up table associates all of the control commands with data signals for each available controlled device. The operator associates each of the several controlled devices with a different one of the several controlled device buttons available on the RF transmitter 105. By associating a Brand X Model 10 television with the TV1 button, the operator has associated control signals with each function of the controlled device. When the operator actuates a controlled device button and then a command button on the transmitter 105, the transmitter draws the associated control signal from memory just as the preferred embodiment would draw the signal from the buffer 130, and embeds the stored ID signal from the code register 140. All of the remaining functions are as in the preceding embodiments.
While the preferred embodiment of the invention has been illustrated and described, many changes can be made without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention. Accordingly, the scope of the invention is not limited by the disclosure of the preferred embodiment. Instead, the invention should be determined entirely by reference to the claims that follow.

By roffle on
Vehicle1997 Subaru Impreza L 4dr Wagon AWD
ReviewAs a first-car-owner, I guess I don't
have much to compare it to, but my
little Impreza is a great car,
especially considering what I paid.
Very comfortable drive position,
leather steering wheel, very accessible
instrument panel, except the cup
holder. It's straight-line performance
is adequate, a little better since I
added a cold air intake, but its
cornering capabilities are limitless,
especially with my strut bar. This
economy 5-door wagon hugs turns like
they're going out of style. AWD is
awesome, snow means nothing anymore.
Best FeaturesDrive position, leather steering wheel, instrument panel, all-wheel drive, trunkspace, folding rear-seats, basic yet stylish interior, engine roar, subtle spoiler and sporty roof rack. Front end is very aggressive looking.
Worst FeaturesCup holder, rear legroom (though what should I care, I'm never back there :), alloy wheels would've been nice... gold ones... :), and a sunroof is an option on the 2.5RS, why not the 2.2wagon? The rear is borderline ugly.

China has two primary interests in Latin America:
- Gaining access to the natural resources
- Wresting diplomatic recognition to Taiwan
China has rapidly expanding economic relations with Latin America that has helped to fuel the regions development in the recent years. China was the regions third largest trading partner in 2005.china contacted 50 billion US dollars in trade and had $6.5 billion worth of investment in the region in 2004. China reduces lots of aggressive diplomacy through increased trade, aid, and investment. Many people in America look to china as an economic and political alternatives to US hegemony. Washington worries about china's growing attention in Latin America. Chinese presence in Latin America is the most serious challenge to US interest in the region since the collapse of Soviet Union. China is promising to bring to Latin America, its growing military to military relations in the region. These all factors are potential threats to the long standing pillars of US policy in the region.US should adopt a new strategy in Latin America including
Expanding its own free trade networks, helping to develop strong market economies, fastening clear and more co-operative relations. Most of the analyst doubted that china's Initiative in Latin America will provoke a confrontation with US.
Similarly Chinese influence in Middle East increases day by day, china is relative new comer into the Middle East geo-politics as for as US interests are concerned. In short term Middle East is defined as world largest oil and gas reserves area of conflict. The Middle East present the Chinese leadership with vast opportunities to fulfill its growing energy needs and to profit from massive weapons deals to oil rich regime regardless of the consequences on regional stability china has seen its new diplomatic influence in the middle east as a geopolitical counter weight to the US.
History and international relations theory portray that tensions and war are often associated with the rise of new great power. The PRC receives the continuous coverage by think tanks as an emerging economic and military power. PRC expanding its influence in geographical regions, PRC sought to expand influence in international issues such as with access to energy and trade policy that is designed to benefit the interest of PRC and reduce the influence of US. The US granted PNTR to strengthen their trade relations and for accession to the market. China also played an effective role in international economy and combating war against terrorism.

MILAN, June 20 (Reuters) - The asset management arm of JPMorgan has a neutral position on Italian government bonds with a bias to buy more if cross-country yield spreads widen, the chief investment officer for fixed-income assets said.

Both Gore and Lieberman appear set for a a late October event in Memphis.
Jackson Baker
September 29, 2000 at 4:00AM
Operatives of the national Gore-Lieberman campaign will return to Memphis next week to put the final touches on what is shaping up as a mammoth local fund-raiser involving both Democratic candidates. The affair, involving a multi-tiered ticket range, is provisionally set for October 24th and would feature a Mud Island rhythm-and-blues concert.
Local Democrats Hope His Mid-October Visit Kindles Enthusiasm and Money
Jackson Baker
September 12, 2000 at 4:00AM
The decision by Vice President Al Gore to tap Connecticut Senator Joseph Lieberman as his running mate has, by all accounts, paid instant and enduring dividends in the presidential preference polls. It is likely, too, that the senator will net for the ticket some financial dividends at assorted fund-raisers-- like one which is now tentatively scheduled for Memphis in mid-October.
Wilbun, runnerup in register vote, cites two add-on members, residence factor
Jackson Baker
September 8, 2000 at 4:00AM
The Shelby County Democrats no sooner got themselves a nominee for county register Thursday night -- veteran party activist John Freeman-- than they got a challenge to their nomination from disgruntled supporters of two other candidates: county commissioner Shep Wilbun and former University of Memphis basketball coach Larry Finch. The upshot is that Freeman's 18-15 victory over Wilbun in a second-round runoff vote of the party's executive committee at the IBEW union headquarters on Madison will have to be adjudicated at 6 p.m.

FOXBORO -- Brandon Spikes didn't need to tell reporters how ecstatic he was to be practicing again. Of course, he did
"It was just fun to get back in pads. Its been a long offseason, and Im happy to be out there running again.
"Its kind of frustrating watching from the sideline, but just to get out and get a little contact, it feels good."
But it was obvious enough on the field.
Spikes had a knee scope in February. The Patriots linebacker has consequently been limited during OTAs, minicamp, and started training camp on the PUP list. Once activated, he participated in positional drills, but not much else.
Tuesday saw him jump back into 11-on-11 and he dove headfirst. Spikes went hard after Dan Connolly on his first snap. After the play, he immediately started jumping around, high-stepping. The energy he brought to the drills -- the whooping, chest-bumping, high-fiving -- was infectious.
"Just happiness; I was excited," Spikes grinned.
He was equally enthusiastic when asked about the rookies.
"They're just relentless to the ball. A lot of guys, you can tell they're hard workers; they play hard and that's one thing I respect -- a passionate player. As long as they can just keep getting better throughout the camp, that's fine with me."
Spikes brings plenty of passion himself. As long as he's out there.
Spikes brings big energy to return

After 60 Years, Scientists Return To Fossil 'Paradise' of the Gobi
By JOHN NOBLE WILFORD
Published: July 31, 1990
WITH the lowering of another cold war barrier, American paleontologists have roamed the Gobi Desert of Mongolia for the first time in six decades, finding a new reptile species related to the Komodo dragon, identifying promising sites for future excavations and recapturing some of the exotic flavor of the most celebrated fossil-hunting expedition of this century.
It was Roy Chapman Andrews, the flamboyant adventurer and paleontologist, who opened the Gobi to scientific exploration in the 1920's and thrilled the world with one fossil discovery after another: an extinct rhinoceros that was the largest mammal to walk the earth, numerous species of dinosaurs and the first dinosaur eggs. His collections fill the American Museum of Natural History in New York, and his romantic descriptions of field work inspired young people to be today's paleontologists.
Dazzled by the ''Flaming Cliffs'' of Shabarakh Usu, Andrews wrote: ''From our tents, we looked down into a vast pink basin, studded with giant buttes like strange beasts, carved from sandstone. There appear to be medieval castles with spires and turrets, brick-red in the evening light. Caverns run deep into the rock and a labyrinth of ravines and gorges studded with fossil bones makes a paradise for the paleontologist.''
But war and the isolation of Mongolia as a Soviet satellite state closed paradise to Western scientists from 1930 until a few weeks ago. At the invitation of the Mongolian Academy of Sciences, issued unexpectedly this spring, three paleontologists from the American Museum retraced the Andrews tracks and reconnoitered new excavation sites. Mongolian authorities have given them permission to conduct expanded expeditions over the next three years, joining with Mongolian fossil hunters and moving farther into the western Gobi than the Andrews expeditions in 1922, 1923 and 1925.
The Americans - Dr. Michael J. Novacek, Dr. Mark Norell and Dr. Malcolm McKenna - returned saying that the Gobi Desert remains much as the Andrews explorers left it: virtually uninhabited except for a few nomads living in the circular tents they call yurts and still brimming with fossils, many of them lying on the ground or clearly visible in the faces of sandstone walls. Revisiting the Flaming Cliffs, the expedition found pieces of metal and other traces of the Andrews campsite, and seven more dinosaur skeletons.
''Vast regions remain almost unexplored,'' said Dr. Novacek, vice president and dean of science at the American Museum. ''There's an abundance of fossils, and the stuff is beautifully preserved. You see entire skulls and skeletons, things you don't find in North America, and it's just waiting to be discovered.''
Sand and Isolation
A combination of circumstances, present and prehistoric, contributes to the preservation of so many fossils through a region hundreds of miles south and west of Ulan Bator, capital of the Mongolian People's Republic. In the time of the dinosaurs and the rise of mammals, the area was marked by large basins where bones deposited in sand were more certain to become fossilized. In the 40 million years since, the area has been little disturbed by geological turmoil or people.But erosion by wind and weather has exposed the relics of many dinosaurs and early mammals.
Much larger teams of scientists, including geologists, paleobotanists and other specialists, will participate in the next expeditions. They will be joined by Mongolian paleontologists, led by Demberelyin Dashzeveg and Rinchen Barsbold.
The objective of the new research, Dr. Novacek said, is to understand the ecosystems of Central Asia that existed from 100 million to 40 million years ago, in the final era of dinosaurs and the emergence of mammalian dominance. Previous fossil findings indicate that the region holds important clues to the early ancestors of many mammal lineages that arose after the extinction of dinosaurs 65 million years ago.
Proposed explorations in Mongolia, as well as recent work by Canadian scientists in northern China, should also bring new understanding of the apparently close relationships among all prehistoric life, not just dinosaurs, in northeastern Asia and North America. Paleontologists from the National Museum of Nature at Ottawa and the Royal Tyrrell Museum of Paleontology in Drumheller, Alberta, are completing the last of four summers of digging mainly in China's arid northwest province of Xinjiag and comparing the fossils with those from Canada.
''We are trying to identify the evolutionary relationship between animals in Asia and North America, and see to what extent the direction is from China to North America or the reverse,'' said Linda Strong-Watson, director of science for the Ex Terra Foundation in Edmonton, which is directing the Canadian explorations in China.
Hasty But Rewarding
The American Museum's foray into Mongolia was brief, less than two weeks of field work this month, and hastily organized. The three American scientists and two Mongolian scientists traveled in two Soviet Army trucks, accompanied by drivers and a cook. They visited places where no Americans had been since Andrews and where there are even very few Mongolians.
''We did one stretch of open road, 900 miles, and we saw only one other car,'' Dr. Novacek recalled.

Pttls Assignment 1 – Identify training needs.
In my job role as an assessor it is important to identify training needs on an individual basis. Each candidate will have different needs depending on their job role and tailoring an NVQ to suit this to prove occupational competency.
Identify Needs
It is important to identify training needs at the point of sign up to ensure each candidate is put on the right training programme. An initial assessment is undertaken by candidates to test literacy and numeracy and to establish whether there any Basic Skill needs. If this is brought to light at sign up a Basic Skill Referral Form is completed in agreement with the candidate to offer support in weak areas. The candidates also complete a learning style questionnaire to identify their own style of learning. I can then take this into consideration when completing the framework with the learner.
Plan/Design the Course
At the sign up stage an individual learning plan is drawn up in agreement between the learner, employer and myself to agree what will take place over the 18 month programme and to set short, medium and long term goals for the candidate which are achievable. In the learning plan stage any barriers to learning the candidate may have can be identified such as shift patterns, family commitments and travelling I am then aware from the start of the candidate's requirements. The learning plan also highlights to the employer and learner that reviews need to take place every 61 days to show progress. It is then an opportunity for any issues to be highlighted where necessary.
Deliver the Course
Once the initial sign up has taken place, I will go out to the candidate's workplace to undertake assessments to prove occupational competency. This can be undertaken in the form of observations to confirm the assessor can see the candidate is capable of meeting the standards. Through professional discussions or personal statements which are useful when I cannot observe...

* Mr. KIND. Madam Chair, I rise today in strong opposition to the Agriculture, Rural Development, Food and Drug Administration, and Related Agencies Appropriations Act, 2012. This bill cuts the Woman, Infant, and Children (WIC) Program by more than $650 million. With the country in the midst of a fragile recovery, my Republican colleagues have decided to prevent up to 350,000 women and children from receiving benefits from this highly successful program. In Wisconsin alone, up to 4,800 women and children would not be able to enroll. For years, WIC has provided mothers and children with healthy foods, counseling on breast feeding, nutrition guidance, and health care referrals. At a time of economic uncertainty, particularly for lower and middle income individuals, these cuts don't make sense. These cuts are especially alarming because they break a 15 year commitment by members of both parties to allow anyone that qualifies to receive WIC benefits.
* Not only would the majority cut funding for WIC, they would also seek to underfund programs tailored to provide American children with nutrition education and more nutritious school lunches. Currently, one in three American children is considered overweight or obese. The number of children who are considered severely obese has more than tripled over a 25 year period. Providing America's children with healthy alternatives like fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and school lunches is a small price to pay to help alleviate this epidemic. In fact, it will provide more long term deficit reduction and put us on a better fiscal path than anything the majority has proposed. The long term medical, financial, and societal costs posed by childhood obesity are a far greater threat to our fiscal stability than healthy foods in schools.
* Instead of putting deficit reduction on the backs of the country's most vulnerable citizens, I believe we should target true waste and fraud. For this appropriations bill, the country's outdated agriculture subsidy program is a good place to start.

I didn't draw anything, not even antelope, how does that happen to a resident, my area isn't that hard to draw
I didn't draw anything, not even antelope, how does that happen to a resident, my area isn't that hard to draw
I failed again.
I'm in the game. Bull elk yes. Antelope yes. Deer no.
Did also draw a ferris mtn cow elk tag. Could be fun
I'll take it with a smile
I struck out.
I recognized long ago that if I have a warehouse full of guns, but no public land or public wildlife, I have nothing!
Congrats all that drew! I am glad you got the tags this year since I'm already set up with 2 elsewhere. Didn't want WY.
Antelope Unit 67
Bull Elk Unit 38
Finally put them points to good use
And just for good measure Mulies in X9A here in California
Never had a year like this one, someone up there must like me this year!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I just found out I drew my first choice antelope area in the special draw, Ouch, but at least I'll be hunting WY again. I hope to buy some leftover doe tags in a near by area if possible.
I would have been really bumed if I didn't draw this tag after not drawing any specials tags in WA even with max points for some of those draws.

Now that the weather is cooler in Melbourne, I have been able to wear my contact lenses more often as the summer heat would dry my eyes out easily.
This also means that I cannot hide behind my thick-rimmed glasses and not only do I have to mask my dark eyebags but I have to up the ante on my eye makeup too.
Here are 5 eye products that I am currently loving…
Kiehl's Super Multi-Corrective Eye-Opening Serum : This has helped smooth out the fine lines around my eyes and make me look perkier. #superbrighteyes
Luma Concealer : I use this with a concealer brush to dab in my undereye area to mask those darned dark circles.
Max Factor Excess Shimmer Eyeshadow in Copper : Highly pigmented one eyeshadow look which is done in 30 seconds by using my finger to blend it on. Too easy!
Rimmel Scandaleyes Thick & Thin Eyeliner : A black felt tip liner which I did not love at first but it grew on me and now I use it all the time. It has a unique nib which can draw thick and thin lines…like a calligraphy ink pen!
Essence Lash Princess Mascara : Lifts my almost non-existent lashes and gives them life.
Speaking of eyes, I shared my macro photography tips on my lifestyle blog yesterday so click on through for a read.
Disclosure : All the products were sent for editorial consideration. And the books in the photo were gifted to me by my dear hubby. Yep, a book entitled "How To Never Look Fat Again"!!!!
4 Comments on 5 Eye Products That I Am Currently Loving!
I love the Essence mascara packaging!! So pretty!
Hmmm, I'm curious to read your How To Never Look Fat Again book but I wouldn't appreciate my husband giving it to me!!! Lol!
The Kiehl's Super-Corrective Eye-Opening Serum sounds like a product I would benefit from!
That Kiehl's serum sounds nice! Those damn fine lines are the bane of my existence!

The IFMX databaseserver could not initialize the
shared memory, so the onbar process is unable
to talk to the databaseserver (could not fork server connection).
So you need to ensure that the IFMX databaseserver is
able to initialize the shared-memory.
Make sure that your sqlhosts entries are correct and
that you have appropriate entries in /etc/services.
Also make sure that no shared-memory-segments,
message queues or semaphores are still allocated from
this informix instance (ipcs -mopb | grep informix).
You want to do an 'onbar -r -w -p', so I guess that you are
not interested in any data that might still exist.
Before doing the restore try to initialize your databaseserver
with "oninit -ivy". In order to do that you might need to
customize your onconfig-file (i.e. physdbs -> rootdbs,
reduze physsize and logsize/logfiles so that they fit in
the initial rootdbs space).
I guess that "oninit -ivy" will fail. So check your 'online.log'
for any messages and fix the problems.
If you are able to initialize the databaseserver, re-change your
onconfig-parameters and try the restore again. This time it
shoudl work.

"This book is not just for those interested in fisheries but for those worried about our survival."Mark Kurlansky, author of Cod and The Big Oyster
"Anyone involved in fishing, seaside communities, or seafood will find themselves amazed, dismayed, enraged, and motivated."Carl Safina, author of Song for the Blue Ocean
In this devastating book, first published in Great Britain and now revised and updated for North American readers, Clover, environment editor of London's Daily Telegraph, shows that fishing with modern technology has put us just a hairsbreadth away from destroying entire ocean ecosystems. New England's fisheries have collapsed, the fish stocks of West Africa's continental shelf are overexploited, few cod are left in Newfoundland's Grand Banks, and, according to one study, 90% of the large fish in the ocean in 1950 have disappeared. Clover finds many people to blame, including trawlers with huge nets that destroy everything in their wake, incompetent scientists, dishonest governmental agencies, celebrity chefs with endangered species on their menus, and the general public, which pays no attention to how the fish it eats is obtained. He's especially critical of the European Union, the U.N. Food and Agricultural Organization and countries like Japan and Spain that persist in illegal fishing. Clover's hard-hitting approach will probably anger some, but his argument that we will soon run out of fish unless we take drastic measures-such as establishing huge no-take zones where fish stocks can recover-is persuasive.

Took a roll of the dice on a different place in Chinatown for a change (had Niu Kee very recently, found Beijing disappointing the last couple of times), and opted for this crowded second-floor place. I had a vague memory of reading something positive about it, but a search shows it wasn't here.
We'll need to return to sample more dishes, but the preliminary word is thumbs up. The lobster with ginger and green onion was excellent, perfectly cooked and sauced, well butchered to make the meat easily accessible. Hot and sour soup was very good: not too thick, with a nice kick.
We also noticed many tables with some kind of hot pot (though not the "Chinese fondue" kind) placed on portable gas burners; the contents looked to be stew-like. These aren't listed on the English/French menu, so we'll either have to return with a Cantonese-speaking friend or pump the waiters for info.

Here Are 8 'Guy Code Truths' Every Woman Needs To Know
November 1, 2016
We as women have a blunt way of expressing our feelings and making our point known.
Not men, no. There are certain things we tell ourselves for reassurance when a guy is behaving a bit iffy as much as we know deep down it's probably a lie. Here's what he'll say verses what he really means.
1. I'm not ready for a committed relationship.
Believe him when he tells you this and stop wasting your time. He means he's probably seeing other girls and he for real doesn't want to commit to you because he's probably waiting for the next potential partner.
2. I didn't have my phone with me.
He did have his phone with him, it was probably in his hand the whole time, but he just did't want to talk to you because you would have been a bother.
3. I'm going to leave her for you.
No, he's going to string you on as long as he can before you actually realize that he's not leaving her and pack up instead.
4. I don't know why she always calls me, we are not even friends.
Sadly, some of us fall for this one. Ask yourself why she keeps calling him and they have no relationship whatsoever (whether it's a friendship or something more) and if they are friends, why he would feel the need to lie about it…
5. I'm not really looking for a relationship right now.
With YOU hunnie, he doesn't want to be in a relationship with you. These are the ones you'll see in relationships a month later and wonder what happened.
6. Sex isn't the only thing I want from you babe.
If this was the case why does it seem like the only thing you two are doing? Boy bye.
7. I'll call you…
8. I'm going to propose to you soon.
If you've been dating for a really long time and he hasn't popped the question, chances are your title will be 'forever girlfriend'.

Harold C. and Annette Caldwell Simmons have given $25 million to the Annette Caldwell Simmons School of Education and Human Development at Southern Methodist University.
The gift, which will be announced Thursday, will fund a new building and support three endowed academic positions. The facility will be named Harold Clark Simmons Hall.
In 2007, the Simmonses made a historic $20 million gift to SMU to establish endowments and provide funding for Annette Caldwell Simmons Hall. The gift created an endowed graduate fellowship fund and an endowed deanship and faculty recruitment fund, both of which honored Harold Simmons' parents.
Their combined gifts of $45 million make the Simmonses' commitment among the largest to SMU's Second Century Campaign and make them among the most generous donors in SMU's 100-year history. They have previously given to endow four President's Scholars and create the Simmons Distinguished Professorship in Marketing in the Cox School of Business.
"We are truly fortunate to count the Simmons as partners in our academic mission and greatly value their leadership and generosity," SMU president R. Gerald Turner said. "They have established an enduring legacy of service and generosity benefiting SMU and show great foresight by supporting education."
Harold Simmons said: "Our investment has resulted in the formation of innovative programs for education and human development, the hiring of outstanding faculty leading research that makes a difference, and growing outreach to communities with solutions that work."
Since 2007, the school has expanded from one department to five. It has eight graduate degree programs and one undergraduate degree program, and has grown from 13 full-time faculty members and 42 staff members to 62 full-time faculty members and 112 full-time staff members.
Research funding has increased to $18 million.
The Annette Caldwell Simmons School of Education and Human Development has also developed community outreach programs to complement its degree programs. These include the Center on Communities and Education, the Center on Research and Evaluation, the Institute for Evidence-based Education, Research in Mathematics Education and college access programs. The school is working with the George W. Bush Presidential Institute on two initiatives, Middle School Matters and the Alliance to Reform Education Leadership.
"This extraordinary gift enables our school to leave a more durable imprint as we increase our capacity for making an impact," said David Chard, Leon Simmons dean of the Simmons school. "The new building and endowed faculty positions will enable us to expand dramatically the scope and quality of our teaching, research and service."
Harold Simmons is founder, chair and CEO of Contran Corp., a holding company with interests in several industries. His relationship with SMU began in 1961, when he bought a small drugstore near the campus and named it Simmons University Drug. He sold the chain in 1973, and it later became Eckerd Drugs.

∙Orochimaru (Naruto) - Because he was so manipulative and benevolent in his personal ambitions
∙Alexander Anderson (Hellsing) - Because he had a psychotic mentality when his attention turned violent, and was like the human equivalent of Alucard, which was pretty much an overpowered monster in human form instead of vampire form
∙Kazundo Gouda (GitS:SAC 2nd GIG) - Because he wasn't obvious as an antagonist, because he was intelligent and cunning, able to manipulate the beginning actions of people like puppets and then just sit back and watch the chaos unfold

Villains/Antagonists that I like:
Chouno Koushaku/Papillon from Busou Renkin. He kills his entire family (and is responsible for a whole lot of off-screen deaths), but there couldn't have been a (mostly) happy ending without him.
Aizen from Bleach. I'm not up to date with the manga but... He betrays all of Soul Society, kills most of its rulers, tries to kill his loving/obsessed lieutenant, and sides with the hollows, turning many of them into far more dangerous forms. He also seems to want to kill the Spirit King.
Villains/Antagonists who need to die:
King Hamdo from Now and Then, Here and There. Yeah, that was a satisfying death.
Captain-Commander Yamamoto from Bleach, aka Captain-Commander Genocide.

Full Metal Panic TSR Mr. Gates
Most villains need a motive, a plan, and an idea of what they are actually doing. Gates has none of these. He kills his subordinates (in ways that you can't help but laugh at I might add) kills his contractors (while singing Ave Maria) and fails to realize that he ever did anything wrong (one time even failing to realize that he had shot a subordinate in the head). If you ever took a young kid, made him kill, gave him an enormous intellect, nearly limitless money, and gave him a commanding position in one of the most powerful military forces in the world, I'm pretty sure given one year that kid will be the same type of crazy as Gates (minus the sexual perversion).

Lucy (Elfen Lied)- although she's pure evil, you can't help but like her; queen bee of diclonius
Light (Death Note)- cunning and intelligent; only villain who doesn't resort to violence
Griffith (Berserk)- sacrificed his friends to become an all-powerful demon god
Gantz (Gantz)- an evil black ball with a sense of humor
Sensui (Yu Yu Hakusho)- has multiple personalities and has own, special energy: sacred energy
The Akatsuki(Naruto)- they're all fuckin' evil, powerful, and hot
Vegeta (DBZ)- cool and sarcastic
Sasuke (Naruto)- just plain cool and sexy; gave up friends: almost killed Naruto
Sesshomaru- cold, powerful, smexy XD

Olive Garden
23442 Hawthorne Blvd
Torrance, CA 90505
(310) 373-0395
Olive Garden is located along Hawthorne Blvd in Torrance at a large business park populated with primarily medical offices. Being a large chain, the atmosphere and menu are standard. Prices range from the all you can eat pastas and salads under $10 to some very pricey meat dishes that hit $20.
CARL: After scanning the menu and eliminating the $15+ items that looked tempting, I came back to the heavily advertised Olive Garden "endless" soup and salad combo. For $7.95 you get all the soup, salad and breadsticks you can shove down. There are a few standard soup choices but I opted for the waiter's choice of the spicy Toscana Sausage and Potato Soup to give my lunch some punch. I regularly have the Olive Garden salad which I know can be a bit bland but it is tasty.
The bread sticks were perhaps the best part – warm and with lots of flavor. I utilized my bread sticks to help put away both the soup and the salad. I even shared a few with my co-pig Oliver.
At the end of the meal I had plenty to eat and was quite satisfied. The wait staff was friendly but just a tad slow. We had to wait 5 minutes to be seated and when it came time for the check, that took another 10 minutes. During the meal we were well attended to with various staff removing old plates and refilling my soda. I'm a stickler for a clean table and I don't like looking at my old dishes – reminds me of what a pig I am I guess.
My Italian father would likely compare Olive Garden to Taco Bell as far as authenticity goes. From my perspective one doesn't go to Olive Garden for a perfectly authentic Italian meal, one goes for something close – and Olive Garden delivers something close. Overall The Olive Garden was what I expect – clean, nice and comfortable. On balance for lunch it is slightly overpriced and not really a place to go for a "lunch special" deal. I'd stick with the endless lunch specials and leave the fancier stuff for a dinner visit. So to summarize, the food was good, the service was good but took a bit too long. I give Olive Garden 3.5 Pigs on the Lunch Pig scale of 1-5 Pigs.
Oliver: I don't eat here often, and due to changes in plans, we were forced to walk to a place for lunch. Being located next to a medical facility, there are numerous restaurants located nearby. At my urging we went to Olive Garden. I wanted to eat something a little heavier than usual. Or actually, I wanted to eat something heavy for Lunch Pig again. The first thing I noticed while sitting waiting for a table was the decor. It was pretty nice and obviously was a little fancier than the typical Lunch Pig meal.
I ordered the Chicken Parmigiana (1090 calories) it came with a soup and I too ordered the spicy Toscana Sausage. It was spicy enough for me and I enjoyed it, though I could have used a little more.
The Chicken Parmigiana came with some pasta and I had them use their grater to add some more cheese. You definitely get the feeling there is a team of people working your table as several people will be involved in the serving of your food. The dish tasted great, the chicken was good, but maybe on the dry side. The sauce was good and zesty. Considering the price I would have liked a larger piece of chicken, but it was good.
We went on a Friday and it was pretty crowded. We had to wait to be seated and upon getting into the main dining room you could see it was really hopping. So be careful if you need to get in and out fast. Overall everything was good. My plate was over $10 so it really doesn't work in the Lunch Pig budget. Drinks are $2.75 will really push that cost up fast. My meal wound up costing $17 after all was said and done. 4 pig place, but because of cost have to back it down to a 3.5
