One hot summer afternoon a woman is at the local public swimming pool when she notices a man smoking a cigarette underwater.
She is astounded that such a thing can be so she asks him how he does it.
"It's easy." He said. "I just use a condom."
"Where can I get them?" The woman asked.
"Just go into any drugstore and ask for them." The man tells her.
The next day she goes into her local drugstore and asks the clerk for a condom.
"Any particular kind?" He asks.
"Yes," she replied. "One that will fit a Camel."
How funny is this joke, video, picture?

Bot read book.
Content is mainly boiler plate sales techniques. But not useless. Narration is a robot voice. A very advanced, well honed robot voice. Yet still a robot. The syntax, coupled with annunciation, are often clearly being spit out by a program. If I'm wrong, my apologies to the narrator who speaks like a hyper articulate Stephen Hawkins impersonator.
A human.

I tried activating the thumbnail control on my theme with flexslider support. However when doing this there are placeholders for the thumbs but the img src="undefined" .
I guess you have to asign the dzta thumb aswell, but how would you go about to do this? Does anyone know what the fix for this is? I've seen a couple of themes using the thumb control feature so i guess it should be possible.. Thanks!
Kind regards
Have you followed the HTML format on that demo page?
It is not easy to know your issue if you do not post your demo URL here...
Problem is how would you dynamicly add markup for the thumbnails in WordPress?

I still do not understand what is your issue actually.

You only need to call your function to replace the image URLs above, for both slide$-thumb.jpg and slide$.jpg
Hmm i see now how I should incorporate it into the code I have in my php file! I'll let you know if i get it to work!
Turns out I just had to add:
<?php echo ( wp_get_attachment_url( $single_gallery_attachment->ID, 'thumbnail' )); ?>
as data-thumb= to my script!
Thanks for your help agusmu!

Have You Been Injured and Want to speak to an Experienced Attorney?
By law, if you have been injured by the negligence of another person or company, you are likely entitled to compensation for your pain and loss. Personal injury lawsuits sometimes get a bad rap, making it seem like the injured person is just trying to make a buck off of the accident.

Hi Bruce,
I am very interested in this line as I think this is my ggggrandfather.You have listed a Bertha Tessier, b. May 7, 1892. I believe this is my grandmother as the birthdate is the same. My Uncle gathered some info several years ago, and some of it matches yours. I don't know how accurate his info is. I believe Bertha was the daughter of Christine Tessier and Albert Davis. Christine was the daughter of Adelaide Causley and Theophile (or Theodore Tessier). I believe my grandmother was living with her grandparents, which would be why she is listed on the census. Could you possibly send more info to me. My family wasn't very talkative about family history.
My email is email@example.com.
Any info is very, very much appreciated.

I put my laptop on a soft surface for 5 minutes, and it promptly overheated, saying "Over 85 C" and shutting down before doing permanent damage (the recommended temperature for my CPU is under 100 C).
However now the laptop regularly goes over 70 C (whereas before it was in the 30s or 40s). And it quite often overheats when I'm doing something processor demanding or using the ethernet.
I have cleaned it out (there was half a cm of dust on the radiator, this is a 2nd hand laptop), but it still overheats a lot.
Maybe there's a way to make the fan turn on at a lower temperature?
What can I do?

Last foreign city I visited during my trip and what a city! The Polish capital prepared me some surprises that I really didn't expected. I was very tired but I had a lot of thing to see there!
More photos on my Flickr!
Old town ready for the celebration
Grey morning
Before I expected to meet my Ukrainian girls here, but unfortunately they were both back to Kiev for the Holidays. One days before or after and I could have see one. I was not so sad, I knew I will have more occasion to visit Warsaw soon 😉
I arrived in the city in a cod morning, looking at the sky I wasn't sure if it will rain or not and the empty streets gave not me optimistic impressions… but it was the morning, could only better soon.
I find another left luggage office in the train station. Wasn't as cheap as in Krakow but the fee wasn't comparable to Vienna. Good point. It was not automatic compartment but two guys keeping your stuff secure in a hall. They didn't ask to be paid in advance.
Festival on the Castle's square
I left the central station and reach the 'Palace of Sciences' of Warsaw, this building now used as museum and hall also keep the local tourist office where I got my map. I especially needed it to know how to get Wilanow. I cross the district around Centrum to find the Royal Street, not an avenue but still an important street of the city which starts (or ends) on the Castle square. I noticed few Christmas decorations on that road, not a lot but big ones.
Also I understand that something will happen because of the noise I heard, it was not exactly music… but the preparation of the evening's concert which will take place on the John Paul II square. Another good thing I saw was an open air gallery with original photos of Warsaw took right after the WWII and compare with today's statement. Impressive how bombed and destroyed the city was!
A Christmas tree and some soldiers holding fences, that how the party started. I wait a bit to take photo (good one) of the tall pine tree when children started to come. And not few of them… hundred of little girls and boys wearing costumes symbolizing the 5 continents, red, green, black, white and yellow. After some introduction they started to run in direction of the Royal street. I still don't know why.
Christmas market
On the market square was the traditional Christmas Market where people and tourists especially can buy local and neighbour's food (Lietuva!). The famous Mermaid was pretty dressed with light tubes. I didn't buy anything, similar food can be find anywhere at any season 🙂
View on Warsaw
After turning around the market I went in direction of the church of Saint Anne. I never been in the church I don't think I will go there soon, but the belfry is the best see-sight point I know, or the one I prefer because I have there a perfect view on the Castle square which is among my top five of the nicest square I have ever seen.
New town
On the north of the old town is the « new town » build in the XVth century. The old town and the new town are separated by a Barbican, sort of fortified gate. On the new town are a nice square and also some churches, Saint Jack of the Dominican Fathers for example.
Also many important monument can be found around there, such are the Deportation Monument or the Uprising Monument. These place are quite far to each other and to the new town square but it is good to see them. You also have to cross the border of the Ghetto.. a line on the ground is materialized to show it.
Saxon Garden
I wanted to go back to the main square but without passing through the city centre, I used an alternative way to reach my destination. I visited the Saxon Garden, I remember it because at my first visit my friends and especially Nastya covered me with autumn leafs…
The park is big and is connected with the John Paul II square where the concert was prepared. It also have several statues and a large fountain behind the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier. Near it is the National Opera House and the Jablonowski Palace, two notable building of the old town.
Because I didn't had enough battery for my camera and phone (my critical problem abroad) I had to find a place to plug them, and if possible where I could drink a coffee. I did. On the Royal street was a small café. Dark inside and own by a grandma. It looks familiar and I ask is poor Polish language for a cappuccino. She served me a bad instant coffee…that was really bad… Luckily I don't remember the name of the place, but I remember where is it!
Wilanow Palace and the Festival of Lights
Paris has Versailles, Vienna has Schönbrunn and Warsaw has Wilanow. It is much more smaller but it gave me a better impression. Actually only because a light festival was happening!
From my café I took a bus to Wilanow, in the south of the city. My journey started well when I noticed that I didn't had coins to pay the for the bus, but wait! Is that machine in the bus which seems accepted the credit card is working? Yes/No? After 10 min of attempts I gave up, locals didn't understand more than me why.
I came in Wilanow in the night, I saw from the windows some colours outside. Interesting… it became even more when I was closer to the Palace. I don't know if it is related somehow to the Three Kings Day but that event was for me very cute and unexpected. I came to see a Palace and I finally play in a original labyrinth totally unlighted! The only drawback was that my tripod was broken and I couldn't take perfect long-exposed photos… what a pitty.
Time to leave Poland once again
Still no money but more new photos of Poland, I took the bus again to the centre with my extra-wet shoes, very uncomfortable. The bus had a stop in the Centrum, where my train arrived in the morning and from where my bus will leave. I had to find in the train station the place where I left my luggage… it was not easy, all the underground ways look alike. Even later when I had to find the exit I had fun… But before that I took a hour to rest in a café. Yes I am like that. I rest before sleeping in my bus.
Oh last nice thing which happened: when I sat in the bus, ready to go to Vilnius I received a message from Nastya, she just arrived from Ukraine and wanted to meet me… Soon my friend, soon…

Steps Plus' Wet-Cast Products versus Vibrant Dry Tamped Cast Stone
While Architectural Cast Stone can be made by two different methods, the vibrant dry tamp method and the wet-cast method, Steps Plus uses only the wet-cast method. We feel that our wet-cast Architectural Precast Concrete and Cast Stone products have numerous advantages over Vibrant Dry Tamped (VDT) Cast Stone. While the VDT method may seem attractive due it's 'sugar-cube' finish and the fact that the same mold can be used numerous times in one day making it cheap to produce, it's more prone to a number of potential problems than Wet-Cast Cast Stone. An article titled "What is Cast Stone" by Matthew Farmer (an engineer that routinely investigates construction failures) in the July/August 2008 issue of the Concrete Repair Bulletin, states that; "There are a number of common problems that can occur with cast stone. Whereas some of these occur in cast stone produced using both wet casting and the VDT method, the majority of problems observed in modern construction are associated with the VDT method of manufacture." [1]
Government Notes Problems with VDT Cast Stone
How "Vibrant Dry Tamped" Cast Stone is Made
Moisture loss is a big concern in the "Vibrant Dry Tamped" method of making cast stone. In order for the unit to hold its shape when pulled from the mold immediately after tamping, the mix must be only slightly moist. Once the piece is removed from the mold, all the surfaces now exposed may become even dryer as moisture starts to evaporate from the newly exposed faces. However, the cement in the cast stone unit requires water to hydrate (harden) and this is why zero slump VDT cast stone units require a special curing procedure. To ensure that the cement in a VDT product gets enough water to hydrate, the Architectural Precast Association (APA) specifies the following curing procedure for VDT units: Vibrant Dry Tamped units should be kept in a warm curing chamber approximately at 100şF (37.8şC) at 95 percent relative humidity for approximately 12 hours, or cured in a 95 percent moist environment at a minimum 70şF (21.1şC) for 16 hours after casting. Additional yard curing at 95 percent relative humidity shall be 350 degree-days (i.e. 7 days @ 50°F (10°C) or 5 days @70°F (21°C)) prior to shipping.
If the above curing procedure is not done properly, the quality and durability of the unit may be significantly affected. You may end up with a surface that deteriorates quickly or units that are hard on the outside but soft and powdery on the inside. The photos below show a number of Vibrant Dry Tamped Cast Stone projects that have started to exhibit defects after a relatively short period of time, in some cases while still on the shipping pallets.
CRAZING in Vibrant Dry Tamped Cast Stone
As can be seen in the following photos, crazing cracks are a very common problem with vibrant dry tamped cast stone. According to the article titled 'CAST STONE: CHARACTERISTICS, USES AND PROBLEMS" by the U.S. General Services Administration, it is stated that these hairline cracks are "often caused by volume differences between the facing and backup material, or improper proportioning of the facing mix. When aggregates of uniform size are used, the cast stone tends to be more porous and less durable."[2]
DELAMINATION and DEEP CRACKS in Vibrant Dry Tamped Cast Stone
Tamping the VDT mix into the molds can result in a strata effect between the different layers of material. This can result in return ends that are not as durable as the piece faces. This strata effect could also result in the layers delaminating and/or cracking as shown in the photos below. The strata effect can be made worse if the manufacturer tries to cut corners by using only a thin layer of colored mix for the visible surfaces and a different cheaper mix for the backup. Since the facing and backup mixes may have different expansion and contraction properties, the risk of delamination and cracking increases.
REINFORCING CONCERNS in Vibrant Dry Tamped Cast Stone
Because the VDT mix is tamped down into the mold in layers, it is impossible to tamp in around a reinforcing cage such as required for some long trim units and structural lintels. Structural lintels with cages should always be made using the wet-cast process. In his article, "What is Cast Stone", Matthew Farmer expresses concern that reinforcing of any type in a VDT piece is a potential problem by stating the following: "Placement of reinforcing steel is of particular concern in VDT-cast stone panels and should be avoided. Usually the face mixture is placed first, then the steel is set, and the backup mixture poured around it. Therefore, this process does not allow for the reinforcing steel to engage the face mixture. If the backup mixture is dry-tamped as well, it is nearly impossible to achieve adequate consolidation around the reinforcing steel that is sufficient to develop its strength. If it must be used, wet-cast methods of fabrication are preferable so that the reinforcement can be fully encapsulated in cementitious material."[1]
PREMATURE DETERIORATION in Vibrant Dry Tamped Cast Stone
A big danger with vibrant dry tamped cast stone is that it does not have enough moisture in the mix when it is cast for all the cement to hydrate. This is why the wet curing procedure described above is so important for VDT cast stone. The photos below show a couple examples of cast stone that was evidently not cured properly and started to disintegrate in less than one year.
CHIPS in Vibrant Dry Tamped Cast Stone
The lack of coarse aggregate in most Vibrant Dry Tamped Cast Stone reduces the product's resistance to chipping. By it's nature, the tamping process used to fill the molds makes it difficult to get good compaction at corners and bottom edges.
DEFECTS DUE TO TAMPING PROCESS in Vibrant Dry Tamped Cast Stone
In the tamping process, the sand-cement mix is put down in relatively thin layers and then physically tamped into the mold to achieve adequate compaction. The Concrete International Magazine article "Freeze-Thaw Durability of Cast Stone" explains why the tamping process contributes to durability problems: "The dry-tamp process, using a low slump mix, makes it difficult to achieve good compaction at the molded finish and corners of the panel. Poor compaction at the molded finish allows the surface to absorb more water than the body material of the cast stone. Due to the greater water absorption and the poor compaction of the molded finish, its resistance to a harsh freezing and thawing environment is reduced and and the molded finish becomes susceptible to deterioration".[4]
The fact that physically tamping the material is not always consistent can lead to visible crazing patterns as Matthew Farmer explains in his "What is Cast Stone" article when he says, "The process of tamping also contributes to crazing by creating centers of high compaction (where the tamper impacted the material) surrounded by rings of lower compaction. Crazing appears to be more concentrated in the areas of lower compaction or density". [1] This effect is clearly shown in the photo below where the crazing pattern matches the spiral pattern that the tamper used when making the base panel. Tamping in many multiple layers also increases the likelyhood of having lift lines as can be seen in the column shaft photo below.
Some other limitations of Vibrant Dry Tamped Cast Stone are as follows:
* L-shape and U-shape pieces are extremely hard to tamp, if not impossible.
* Vibrant dry tamped panels generally can not be made as large as wet-cast panels.
* Structural inserts and weld plates that are easily cast into the backs of wet-cast units are difficult to put into the backs of tamped pieces.
* Different tamping patterns by different employees (for example, left to right tamping versus top to bottom or spiral patterns) may cause subtle variations in the finished piece.
Strength - Different tests yield different results.

Countless stories have been told over the years about some group or another caving to political pressure. But I can't recall anything like the head-snapping few days last week when the same group was skewered for buckling first to one side of the political spectrum and then to the other.
But such is the self-created nightmare of the good people at Susan G. Komen for the Cure, the nation's largest foundation raising money to fight breast cancer.
For the record, I am one of the pro-lifers who feel Komen caved under threats from radical pro-choicers who made it clear there would be hell to pay for their decision to stop funding Planned Parenthood.
The question fairly arises, then: Didn't Komen similarly cave to pro-life pressure in the first place?
It sure didn't look that way. The decision to redirect funds away from Planned Parenthood played out over a long stretch of time, containing many meetings large and small, many conversations pro and con. In the end, Komen made a decision based on what better served the women they seek to help.
For anyone thinking I see it that way purely through my own political lens, I offer the Tuesday resignation letter of Komen Vice President Karen Handel, who details precisely such a deliberative process, describing how the Komen board reached, ultimately without objection, the conclusion that Planned Parenthood was a stove too hot to touch in the sensitive world of charity fundraising.
What the organization did not foresee was the firestorm of negativity it would feel from a community of pro-choicers wrapping itself in the false cloth of "women's health" while seeking to enforce obedient deference to the liberal sacrament of abortion rights.
The decision to reverse their previously principled decision seemed to take mere moments, long enough to get right with the indignant pro-choicers poised to make their lives miserable. The reversal even came with a soothing apology to calm the wounded sensibilities of anyone offended by the sin of a Planned Parenthood snub.
The argument will continue over which Komen decision was politically prodded: the decision to fund Planned Parenthood or the decision to stop funding it.
One thing is clear. Whether one admires the first action or the second, Susan G. Komen for the Cure set this trap for itself the day it decided to start sending checks to Planned Parenthood.
How did such smart people not know that this would be an affront to contributors who want to fight breast cancer without the attendant risk of funding the occasional abortion?
And I don't want to hear one word about some magic funnel through which money can flow to a Planned Parenthood cancer screening with no chance of paying for an abortion. If you fund Planned Parenthood, you fund Planned Parenthood.
As a longtime supporter, I never looked to Komen to share my pro-life views. Nor am I sanguine about my donated dollar disappearing into the coffers of America's primary abortion provider.
Komen should have calmly told the angry masses that the fight to end breast cancer unites pro-lifers and pro-choicers, and the decision to change one sliver of funding was not made to insult or energize one side or the other of the abortion debate.
They should have said: "If you care as much about 'women's health' as you say you do, you will respect our decision to make these judgments as we see fit."
It's too late for that now. A reversal of the reversal seems unlikely, and donors will have to decide whether they mind that their dollars intended to save lives are commingled with dollars that fund the extinguishing of life.

ICEM CFD-- finding right handed faces and correcting them.
Hello All
I am using ICEM CFD 11
I created a tetra mesh which looks like cake slice (A 3 D Sector) . I defined the side walls of this cake slice asrotational periodic in FLUENT. It in fact created them as periodic.I see the as grid interfaces from Grid---> grid-Interfaces
When GRID check happens FLUENT reports face handedness and possibly non convex cells in the mesh. So i tried to correct the mesh again in ICEM 11, but even improving the skewness up to 0.4 I still get the same face handedness in FLUENT when I read the grid.
My work demands to take these bad/skewed cells away from the mesh. So
1. How can I delete them or refine them using ICEM 11?
2. How to see these face-handed/non-convex cells in FLUENT and/or ICEM.
i tried much but of no result.....thanks for any suggestion from you
nice day...
Face Normals.
I think you are talking about face normals...
Right click on shells in the display tree to display your normals as colors and you will probably see that the shells are not all oriented the same way.
To fix this, there is an option under Edit Mesh to "Edit Normals". Go in there and use the option that looks like a green rubix cube (I forget the name). That one will orient all your normals the same way based on the underlying volume (easiest to use)...
You may also want to renumber and run the appropriate mesh checks before exporting again.
How do you do the same in FLUENT???

An excerpt from www.HouseOfNames.com archives copyright © 2000 - 2017
Anglo-Saxon culture of Britain. It was a name given to a person who because of their personal attributes and characteristics was referred to as Ivy. In this case the nickname was originally derived from an old Christmas game, where Ivy-girl was the antagonist. This name signifies a young maiden. Often nicknames described strong traits or attributes that people wished to emulate in a specific animal. In the Middle Ages, anthropomorphic ideas, which attributed human qualities and form to gods or animals, were held about the characters of other living creatures. They were based on the creature's habits. Moreover, these associations were reflected in folk tales, mythology, and legends which portrayed animals behaving as humans.

The Great Migration
The Great Migration
A great wave of immigration to the New World was the result of the enormous political and religious disarray that struck England at that time. Families left for the New World in extremely large numbers. The long journey was the end of many immigrants and many more arrived sick and starving. Still, those who made it were rewarded with an opportunity far greater than they had known at home in England. These emigrant families went on to make significant contributions to these emerging colonies in which they settled. Some of the first North American settlers carried this name or one of its variants: Nicholas Ivany settled in St. John's, Newfoundland, in 1755; George Ivymy settled at Trinity in 1757; James Ivamy settled in Bonaventure in 1788; George Ivamy settled in Port Wrexton in 1825.

Good Points
Straight, shiny, healthier since you do not need to use blow dryers or flat irons to straighten it all the time! AND very convenient.
Bad Points
Too straight, no volume or body, hair doesn't fall naturally.

Definitely gets your hair straight, however I do not like the fact that it is only stick straight and its very difficult to hold an curl/wave/or hair style.

KIM YOUNG SAM'S ELECTION SIGNALS HOPE FOR KOREAN DEMOCRACYOn December 18, citizens of the Republic of Korea (ROK) elected as their next president Kim Young Sam, leader of the Democratic Liberal Party. This advances South Korea's ongoing democratization, a pro- cess begun by the last presidential election in 1987 . Before joining ranks with the ruling party two years ago, Kim led opposition forces against a succession of military-backed governments. Upon his inauguration on Febmary 25, he will become the ROK's first elected civilian leader since 1961. His election a lso means that the new administration in Seoul will follow a path of stability and continuity, a prospect that bodes well not only for the Northeast Asian region but also for the future of U.S.-ROK relations. Kim received about 42 percent of the vote, whi l e his long-time rival, opposition leader Kim Dae Jung, mailed with around 34 percent of the total. Five other minor party candidates divided up the balance of the votes cast. Conceding defeat, Kim Dae Jung acknowledged the election's fairness and announce d his retire- ment from politics. Incumbent President Roh Tae Woo was barred from running by the ROK constitution's single-term limit. The new Korean President-elect's mandate is considered a strong one. Roh, who defeated "the two Kims" in 1987, garnered j u st 36 percent of the vote in a similarly crowded field. President-elect Kim's Record. Kim Young Sam was elected to the National Assembly in 1954. He was 26 years old then, and still holds the record as Korea's youngest national lawmaker. He has been reele c ted to the Assembly eight times -- another national record. In the late 1960s, he emerged as an opposition leader and proponent of democracy. During his years of struggle against authoritarianism, he was arrested, ex- pelled from the legislature, and for f ive years in the early 1980s, banned from politics by the government. But Roh Tae Woo, then ruling party head, enacted historic reforms in 1987 that created a new, democratic constitution and allowed for free elections. Roh defeated Kim for the presidency that year, but Kim emerged as a powerful national figure. In early 1990, Roh and Kim merged their respective political parties, creating the new Democratic Liberal Party. As a leader of the ROK's largest political party, Kim Young Sam bolstered the Roh Ad m inistration's ef- forts to expand Korean democracy, ease tensions with communist North Korea, expand the ROK's diplo- matic network, promote free trade, and maintain domestic economic growth. It is an impressive record that also has strengthened the U.S.- R OK alliance, enhanced the image and understanding of Korea among Ameri- cans, and bolstered the ROK's clout and stature throughout the world. Foreign and Domestic Challenges. Seoul's Northern Policy Initiative, unveiled in 1988, has been a re- sounding su c cess and - in improving Seoul"s ties with the socialist world - helped to hasten the end of the Cold War. The ROK has over the past four years forged new ties with more than forty governments. The tense Cold War standoff with the Russians and the Chinese has ended, giving way to friendly ties with both former adversaries. President Roh's September visit to the PRC and Russian President Boris Yeltsin's No- vember trip to Seoul have inaugurated a new and hopeful era in Northeast Asian relations.
Still, lea ders in Seoul, Washington and other world capitals remain concerned about the continuing threat posed by North Korea. The North maintains a massive and well-armed military poised along its border with the ROK. More ominously, the North so far has refused t o allow for adequate inspection of its nuclear facili- ties and is believed by many to be developing nuclear weapons. But, as the environment around the Peninsula improves, so do the prospects for a reduction in tensions and Korean reunification. With the end of the Cold War, the North is under increasing pressure to moderate its policies. Washington strongly has supported Seoul's initiatives at the North-South bargaining table. Further- more, the U.S. has credited Seoul with skillful negotiating that resu l ted in recent agreements on reconcilia- tion and denuclearization. While many challenges remain, the gains made in recent years are encouraging. Democracy has created new domestic challenges for Korea. The ROK government has faced accelerated labor and so c ial welfare demands domestically and competitiveness challenges abroad. Yet annual gross na- tional product and per capita income growth rates have remained at levels that are the envy of other nations. At the same time, the Seoul government has moved to o pen wider many of the ROK's markets to foreign businesses. Challenges for the New Kim and Clinton Administrations. President-elect Kim will be sworn in just a few weeks after Bill Clinton's inauguration. As President-elect Clinton's foreign policy advisor s examine U.S. policy toward the Korean Peninsula, they should consider the following challenges: * North Korea's nuclear threat. The new U.S. and South Korean administrations should continue their multilateral campaign, together with Tokyo, Moscow, and Be i jing, to prevent the North from developing nu- clear weapons. The International Atomic Energy Agency (LAEA) has conducted limited inspections of sev- eral research and power generating facilities in the North. On a separate track, Seoul and Pyongyang have signed a pact calling for reciprocal inspections within both the North and South. In subsequent negotiations, though, Pyongyang has refused to allow for agreement on a mutual inspection regime, and wrongly accuses the ROK and the U.S. of impeding talks. T r oubled by a sagging economy and increasingly isolated frorn the international mainstream, the North recently has stepped up its calls for expanded political and economic ex- changes with the West. But, until the Pyongyang leadership allows for adequate in s pections of its nuclear fa- cilities, Washington should not upgrade ties with North Korea * America's security commitment. Although Washington recently has withdrawn some of the U.S. troops stationed in South Korea, about 36,000 American soldiers remain i n the ROK. President-elect Clin- ton wisely has backed the Bush Administration's policy of maintaining this troop presence until the North Korean threat is lifted. * Promoting trade. Annual trade between the U.S. and South Korea amounts to about $40 billio n , mak- ing the ROK America's sixth largest economic partner. Furthermore, in contrast to past years when the U.S. suffered from a sizable deficit with the ROK, America's trade account with South Korea currently is in bal- ance. This is due in large part t o Roh administration policies that advanced Korea's schedule of economic liberalization. President-elect Kim has pledged to continue these policies, and the Clinton Administration should work closely with Seoul to protect and expand business opportunities f or Americans in the ROK. It also should be noted that South Korea- represents a manufacturing and distribution springboard for reaching other markets in the Pacific Rim. South Korea today stands as an influential diplomatic and trading power on the world s tage. The U.S.- ROK alliance has shifted from one of patronage to one of full partnership. Americans and Koreans share many basic ideals and institutions, including their embrace of democracy and free market capitalism. Kim Young Sam's election promotes t hese shared ideals, offering the new Clinton Administration an opportunity to improve America's already close ties with this important Asian ally.Daryl M. Plunk Visiting Fellow

Japan Typhoon Latest
September 7, 2011 by staff
Japan Typhoon Latest, A deadly typhoon has killed at least 100 people dead or missing after devastating the western Japan, officials said, piling more misery in a country trying to recover from the tsunami of March.
Talas brought torrential rains and strong winds when it made landfall Saturday, swelling rivers and causing landslides that destroyed buildings on the southwestern island of Shikoku, the Kii Peninsula and the Chugoku region.
At least 50 people were confirmed dead in nine prefectures.
With more than 50 people still missing, the storm looks to be the deadliest in Japan since October 1979 when a powerful typhoon claimed 115 lives, the Japan Meteorological Agency.
In most affected Wakayama alone, 35 died and 33 remain missing, authorities said.
Talas, which has grown from Japan on Sunday, has been downgraded to a tropical storm, but the remains of the climate system, along the coast north Noru typhoon, bringing heavy rains continued in northern Japan.
Heavy rains brought more misery in a country trying to recover from March 11 earthquake and tsunami, with a 56-year-old who drowned in Saitama Prefecture, northwest of Tokyo, officials said Wednesday.
In Nara, local police and rescue workers found a body buried in the mud on the morning of Wednesday, raising the death toll to five in one Prefecture, where there are many more missing, and a local police officer.
Massive mudslides from the weekend had cut off access roads to thousands who live in mountain communities, but local officials said rescuers were able to cater to many places.
In Wakayama Prefecture, the number of braiding has been reduced from about 4,500 to 225, mainly due to the restoration of access roads, a local government official.
The new Prime Minister, Yoshihiko Noda, who took office last week, is scheduled to visit the affected areas on Friday to inspect the damage of the typhoon.
Noda also visit on Thursday Fukushima, home to a nuclear plant crippled by disaster March 11 at the center of the worst nuclear crisis in the world since Chernobyl 25 years ago.

Singers descend on Croke Park hoping to prove that they have the X Factor...
Wannabe pop stars flocked to Croke Park yesterday to see if they had what it takes to compete in talent show The X Factor.
Aspiring singers and song writers travelled from the length and breadth of the country to sing their hearts out.
Nursery school nurse Laura Johnston had driven down from Holywood in Co Down to compete.
"We left at 6am this morning and I was so nervous going in," she said.
Johnston performed a rendition of jazz standard My Funny Valentine and got the nod from the producers.
"I was thinking of signing up and told my son Ben. He said: 'Mum, remember YOLO'. And now I'm one step closer to meeting the judges."
But it wasn't all good news as many hopefuls were sent home - their dreams of making it to boot camp and hanging out with Simon Cowell in tatters.
Katherine Maguire (18) from Wexford arrived with her triplet sisters in tow.
"I didn't get through," she said. "The producers said I just wasn't ready. The nerves got the better of me.
"Loads of people were crying when they heard 'No'."
Rockabilly chick Annie Finnegan (17) from Carlingford was jumping for joy after she made it through.
"I sang an Ella FitzGerald song and I'm over the moon. I've been watching the show since forever," she said.
Annie is due to sit her Leaving Cert this year but believes The X Factor is more important.
"It's what I want to do," she said.
The auditions continue today with the mobile audition van travelling around the country.

Sometimes you just have to get dirty before you can really get clean. Take for example, a mud bath, or now the newly introduced Charcoal Facial at LING Skincare. Why charcoal, you ask? The black powder provides a cooling effect on the skin, which makes it perfect for the summertime. It also detoxifies the skin from any impurities.
The treatment includes three masks and begins with a Hibiscus Peel and Papaya Enzyme Peel. The Hibiscus has qualities which helps to exfoliate the skin, speed up cell turnover and help control acne breakouts. Next are extractions followed by an Herbal Clay Clarifying Mask. The second mask is a Ginseng Herbal Moisturizing Mask which instantly reduces skin inflammation. Finally, the Charcoal Mask is applied. The qualities of charcoal absorbs 100-200 times its weight in impurities and oils. With dead skin cells removed, skin is left radiant.
Take it from me, your skin will be at its best and glowing following this treatment, and if you're still doubtful take it from the hundreds of LING Skincare devotees in the press.
The Charcoal Facial $260, at LING Skin Care Union Square,12 East 16th Street and LING Skin Care Upper West Side,105 W. 77th Street, lingskincare.com

A Line in the Sand : Britain, France and the struggle that shaped the Middle East Paperback
by James Barr
In 1916, in the middle of the First World War, two men secretly agreed to divide the Middle East between them.
Sir Mark Sykes was a visionary politician; Francois Georges-Picot a diplomat with a grudge.
The deal they struck, which was designed to relieve tensions that threatened to engulf the Entente Cordiale, drew a line in the sand from the Mediterranean to the Persian frontier.
Territory north of that stark line would go to France; land south of it, to Britain.
Against the odds their pact survived the war to form the basis for the post-war division of the region into five new countries Britain and France would rule.
The creation of Britain's 'mandates' of Palestine, Transjordan and Iraq, and France's in Lebanon and Syria, made the two powers uneasy neighbours for the following thirty years.
Through a stellar cast of politicians, diplomats, spies and soldiers, including T.
E. Lawrence, Winston Churchill and Charles de Gaulle, A Line in the Sand vividly tells the story of the short but crucial era when Britain and France ruled the Middle East.
It explains exactly how the old antagonism between these two powers inflamed the more familiar modern rivalry between the Arabs and the Jews, and ultimately led to war between the British and the French in 1941 and between the Arabs and the Jews in 1948.
In 1946, after many years of intrigue and espionage, Britain finally succeeded in ousting France from Lebanon and Syria, and hoped that, having done so, it would be able to cling on to Palestine.
Using newly declassified papers from the British and French archives, James Barr brings this overlooked clandestine struggle back to life, and reveals, for the first time, the stunning way in which the French finally got their revenge.

"I want more!"
Yes. This story was very entertaining and kept me listening long into the night. I didn't want to stop listening.
I liked how all the different stories connected to each other but still remained separate.
Miss Gaunt gave all the characters very distinctive personalities that really helped me to understand them and who they are.
You never know where your path may lead
I need more of this story!
"An enthralling and masterfully told tale"
Yes! Hearing the emotion of the characters helped me to feel as though I was a true part of the story
On first glace I assumed Guardians of the Grove would be filled with heart warming lessons much like "Xena the Warrior Princess" however once I began getting into the story I found it to be a twisting and turning epic adventure unlike any other I have encountered.
I felt that D. Gaunt brought just enough emotion to every character to make a true connection to what they were feeling throughout the length and breadth of the tale. She has a masterful way of adding dramatic pauses that truly impact the listening experience.
There are so many moments throughout the book that are truly moving. Without giving away the storyline I would have to say that meeting Nuella was the culmination of so many arcs that it has to be my favorite.
This story was certainly worth the price. I plan to listen to it over and over again.
This story MUST continue! I am anxiously awaiting the release of The Bow Maiden Chronicles Book 2
"Love the strong females!"
Heir of Fire by Sarah J Mass
I really enjoyed the way the book centres around strong females, particularly those who know how to fight and can compete with and best any man around. It is great that books like this are being written! It is an excellent and engaging book and I cannot wait for more!

New Link on State Website for Pregnancy Center May Be Violating Separation of Church and State
Wisconsin Governor Scott Walker's love of anti-choice policies maybe be constituting a state endorsement of religion.
Is Wisconsin Governor Scott Walker's love of anti-choice policies violating the separation of church and state? So claims the Freedom From Religion Foundation, who wants the administration to remove a link to Carenet, which "claims to be a place where 'those struggling with past abortions are finding God's healing and forgiveness.'"
Via Isthmus Daily Page:
Annie Laurie Gaylor, executive director of the Madison-based Freedom from Religion Foundation, accuses Walker of mistaking his role as "pastor-in-chief."
"He took an oath to uphold a secular Constitution," Gaylor says. "It's inappropriate to steer people to groups that provide misinformation about abortion and birth control."
Appreciate our work?
Rewire is a non-profit independent media publication. Your tax-deductible contribution helps support our research, reporting, and analysis.
Gaylor sent Walker a terse letter demanding that the link be removed, adding that "religious propaganda has no place on a government website under health and safety."
Walker ran for governor with the vocal support of Pro-Life Wisconsin, who advocates against not only abortion, but birth control as well.

Most Asked Are Against North Yorkshire Bus Cuts Plans
2:27pm 28th November 2013
More than 2,000 people have given their view on possible bus cuts in North Yorkshire
Early findings are that most people are against the cuts.
The county council spends some £4.4m a year subsidising the 20% of bus journeys which are not commercially viable.
The proposals are to review routes with the aim of cutting £1.1m of subsidies. The county council says, a strategy would be adopted of ensuring as many communities as possible keep a basic bus service to their nearest market town, and an "inter-urban" network with a minimum set frequency is maintained.
The cuts come as the county council has part of a programme of £92m savings in the four years ending on 31 March, 2015. It has warned that, after recent announcements by the Government over future funding, it will need to find a further estimated £66m between 2015 and 2019.
The full results of the county council consultation are expected in December.

Impact property of composite material is influenced not only by the type of fiber/matrix, but also by the woven structure of the reinforcement. Presence of 3D fibers in reinforcement is reported to enhance the performance of textile composites in an impact event. This article attempts to study the influence of interlacements in the multilayer woven interlocked 3D structures on the impact properties of the composite material reinforced with them. Low velocity impact testing was carried out on an instrumented drop weight impact tester to obtain load-elongation-time plots of the impact event. It has been observed that increased interlacement in the structure improves the impact resistance of the multilayer textile composites. Further, damage area maps have been developed to understand and analyze the interlacement effect on the impact behavior. © The Author(s), 2010.

Structure property correlation is a critical textile research area explored by various researchers and many factors have been proposed over the years to predict/compare/design the woven fabrics. Cross-over firmness factor (CFF) and floating yarn factor (FYF) have been recently proposed as parameters to understand weave effect on fabric properties (Morino, H., Matsudaira, M. and Furutani, M. (2005). Predicting Mechanical Properties and Hand Values from the Parameters of Weave Structures, Textile Research Journal, 75(3): 252-257). Redefined CFF and FYF factors using fabric fields in terms of interlacement index (I) and float index (F), respectively have been proposed in this article. This new approach provides better understanding of the interlacements and floats in the woven structure and further they are applied on multilayer interlocked fabrics to quantify the structural influence on the properties. Multilayer interlocked woven fabrics with different interlacement patterns have been developed. Influence of fabric structure on preform properties relevant for resin transfer molding composite manufacture, such as compression, permeability, and tensile behavior were studied with respect to the interlacement and float indices. Tensile and compression tests were conducted on universal testing machine. Liquid permeability of these structures was evaluated based on horizontal wicking and contact angle wettability tests. Results show that influence of structural factor is greater on tensile and permeability properties than the compression properties of these multilayer fabrics. © The Author(s), 2010.

Jute fabric was modified using polyacrylic rubber as finishing agent in the presence of NH4Cl, MgCl2 and sodium salts of phosphoric acid as catalysts, employing a pad-dry-cure technique. Treatment with 10% polyacrylic rubber in the presence of 2.25% Na4P2O7, followed by drying of the padded fabric at 95°C for 5 min and curing of the dried fabric at 140°C for 5 min produced the most balanced improvements in properties, such as tear strength, flexibility, tensile strength elongation at break, moisture regain, abrasion resistance and wrinkle recovery. Functional group analysis and IR spectroscopy indicated that Na4P2O7 catalyst allowed esterification of carboxyl groups of polyacrylic rubber with the cellulose constituents of jute and the said process ultimately led to some degree of cross-linking of the chain polymers of jute. © 2013 The Textile Institute.

Nineteen fabric samples of three different varieties such as dupion, soft and taffeta silk have been produced and tested for stretch and growth properties in both dry and wet conditions. It is observed that stretch and growth properties of silk fabrics are correlated with cover factor, fabric thickness, fabric warp crimp and twist significantly. The increase in stretch and growth properties of fabric in wet condition may be due to more swelling and relaxation of fibre structure and also attributed to breaking of hydrogen bond chain links in protein fibre.

The cost of production and quality level that can be achieved for manufacturing eri silk yarn by using amber charka technique in India is discussed. The two methods are followed for eri spinning using amber charka after degumming and drying process that includes without carding and with carding. For one kg of eri cocoon used for the spinning process, degumming loss is 120g, waste generated in the spinning process is 50g and invisible losses are 30g. The total cost of eri silk yarn for 800 g is Rs 688, and the cost per kg of yarn works out to Rs 860. The modifications that are required in order to obtain better output and quality of eri spun silk yarns includes the use of long staple drafting system in amber charka and the use of either pedal operating or motor driving system in amber charka. The use of pedal operating or motor driving system help the operator to piece the yarn during end break without stopping the machine that improves the production and the daily wages of artisans.

Tears openly and unashamedly flowed tonight at Christine O'Donnell's campaign victory watch. As the results were announced the anticipation mounted, some districts taking longer than others. Many O'Donnell supporters have shown the kind of dedication and loyalty one rarely sees when dealing with politicians, all building up for this final moment. Her win tonight shows the country that establishment candidates have no place in the First State.
Tea Party Express endorsed Christine long before many others, seeing something in her that would appeal to conservatives all over the country. Tea Party Express rolled into Delaware fresh from the Joe Miller campaign in Alaska, bringing with them an unprecedented enthusiasm which Delaware sorely needed and had not seen the likes of before. Rush Limbaugh, holding true to his record of not endorsing primary candidates, still dedicated large portions of his show to discussing the Delaware Senate primary race, pointing out Mike Castle's voting record. Sarah Palin, the NRA, and Jim DeMint endorsements soon followed.
The final week of campaigning for Christine was full of ups and downs, name-calling and back-stabbing, surprises and announcements. This rollercoaster of a ride was due to the incumbent-type opponent Mike Castle and in large part, due recompense should be given to the Delaware GOP state chair Tom Ross. Ross and his now infamous statements will be remembered by some as a sign that the "Good Ol' Boy" party in Delaware needs to be reigned in check. The media frenzy over his alleged "death threat" (which included the writer's name and address) will not soon be forgotten. One wonders if Tom Ross will feel it is honorable to resign from his position given his negative and often derogatory comments towards Christine.
Despite the now elated fans and supporters, Christine realizes the war is not over. She won the most difficult battle; the tide now rests on the battle against the media and strongly entrenched Democrats in the state. Will Christine O'Donnell beat Chris Coons? Mike Castle was considered unbeatable in the state yet she beat him. Will the Delaware GOP's name-calling hurt Christine or will it hurt the established "Good Ol' Boy" party in the state? Only the voters of Delaware will tell yet it seems that they have spoken loud and clear tonight.

The FT1117M is a miniature-sized servo from FEETECH with the same output spline as standard servos, making it compatible with standard-size servo horns. The pinion gear is plastic, but the rest of the gear train consists of all metal gears, allowing this servo to deliver the kind of speed and torque typically associated with larger servos.
The FT1117M works with standard RC servo pulses, offering position control over a 120° operating angle for standard servo pulses between 900 µs to 2100 µs. As with most servos, the pulse range can be expanded to achieve an expanded operating angle (FEETECH does not specify this beyond listing a physical limit angle of 200°). The servo has a 7″ (18 cm) cable that is terminated with a standard JR-style connector, which is Futaba-compatible, and it includes additional servo horns and mounting hardware.
You can find more information about this servo in its datasheet (125k pdf).
Note that, as with most hobby servos, stalling or back-driving this servo can damage it.
Comparison to the Power HD 1711MG mini servo
This servo is a lower-cost alternative to the 1711MG from Power HD, which has nearly identical dimensions and performance. The two servos should be generally interchangeable for most applications. The picture below shows both the FT1117M and the 1711MG side by side:
