The invention broadly relates to frame housings for electronic components, and is specifically directed to a modular frame system for printed circuit cards and related electrical components.
Frames and racks are commonly used for all types of electrical components to serve as a common support and electrical ground. Generally, such frames tend to be designed for a single application and incapable of variation in dimension or function.
In the past, most electrical and electronic components were quite large, and this factor determined the size and configuration of the mounting frame. As electronic components have decreased significantly in size, there has been some degree of development in connection with mounting frames, but it has not been nearly as significant as in the components themselves.
Because of the decreased size of electronic components, printed circuit boards or cards are now commonly and widely used. These cards house sophisticated and complex electronic circuitry, and typical electronic systems involve the use of several cards that are supported in a single rack or cage and commonly connected into the electronic system.
Because each electronic system and its associated circuitry may be quite unique, frame systems generally are specifically designed to the physical requirements of the systems. Although the electronic and electrical components themselves have become modular in form, as evidenced by the use of printed circuit boards and cards, there has not been any substantial effort to offer a purely modular frame mounting system which can be assembled in various sizes and configurations from off the shelf components to house and support printed circuit cards as well as the heavier and larger attendant components, such as the power supplies, blowers, speed controls and the like.
The subject invention is directed to such a modular system in which the entire assembly may be designed and fabricated from universal components of different sizes to vary the size and configuration of the frame assembly, and which interfit without regard to the selected size.
The modular system broadly comprises a base frame assembly for larger and heavier components, and a printed circuit card cage mounted on the base frame assembly. The base frame assembly is formed from a plurality of lengths of a mounting rail that is configured to be interlockable when two lengths are brought together in perpendicular relation. The base frame assembly also consists of one or more mounting plates that cooperate with the mounting rail frame to support the larger and heavier electrical components in a desired position. In the preferred embodiment, the mounting plates cover all of the frame except for a rectangular opening for the printed circuit card cage. A printed circuit board may be used with or in place of the mounting plates.
The card cage is formed from a plurality of lengths of a mounting rail of a second configuration. These lengths are preferably disposed in parallel spaced pairs, and side plates are secured at each of the respective ends to define a hollow housing or frame in the form of a rectangular parallelepiped. The second type of mounting rail is formed with a row of uniformly spaced apertures to interlockably receive the connecting tabs of elongated printed circuit card guides. The guides are disposed in laterally aligned pairs to slidably receive and retain a printed circuit card.
The apertures in the mounting rails permit the card guides to be laterally adjusted to a desired position. In addition, the connecting tabs on the card guides are offset in such a manner that the guide may be reversed end for end to obtain an incremental adjustment in the printed circuit card position.
An electrical socket connector is disposed between each pair of card guides to receive one edge of the card for electrical contact purposes. In one embodiment, the socket connector is supported by the mounting rail and is locked into position by the card guides when they are inserted. In a second embodiment, the socket connectors are semipermanently secured to a horizontally disposed mother board which is secured between the base frame assembly and the card cage. With the mother board and card cage in assembled position, the card guides are inserted relative to the socket connectors, and the printed circuit cards are thereafter inserted into place.
The inventive structure permits the user to simply and easily design a modular frame system based on the needs of the electronic circuits and components, using available components of varying size. Once designed, the modular frame assembly is easily fabricated, while at the same time offering rugged, stable support to the electronic system components. Further, even though the modular system accommodates a large variety of sizes and configurations, no adjustment is necessary during fabrication or after assembly. Because the frame system components are fabricated with uniform spacing, the components automatically fit together, and electronic system components are thereafter accepted without problem.

With initial reference to FIGS. 1 and 2, a modular mounting frame system embodying the inventive concepts is represented generally by the numeral 11. Modular system 11 broadly comprises a base frame assembly 12 and a card cage 13. With additional reference to FIGS. 3 and 4, the base frame assembly 12 in the embodiment shown is rectangular in shape and considerably larger than the card guide 13 from the standpoint of horizontal surface area. As such, the base frame assembly 12 is adapted to receive and support not only the card guide 13 but other electrical components as well, which bear the reference numerals 14-16 in FIGS. 1 and 2. As an example, the electrical components 14-16 may include a fan, power supply, heat sink or connector plate. Another example is a terminal strip, which is represented by the numeral 17 in FIGS. 1-3 and extends along the entire length of one of the sides of the base frame assembly 12.
With reference to FIGS. 3-9 and 14-15, the base frame assembly broadly comprises a plurality of mounting rails 18 of various lengths and a plurality of mounting plates 19 of various rectangular size, the rails 18 and plates 19 being interconnected by screw-type fasteners 21, internal universal fasteners 22 (FIGS. 6-9) and internal corner fasteners 23 (FIGS. 14-15).
With specific reference to FIG. 5a, each of the mounting rails 18 comprises an extrusion, preferably of aluminum, having a length that is substantially a multiple of the dimension L. In the preferred embodiment, the dimension L is two inches, and the rails 18 are available in lengths substantially two inches to twenty-four inches in two inch intervals. The width of the mounting rails 18 is constant, and in the preferred embodiment the dimension is 7/8 of an inch.
With specific reference to FIG. 4, mounting rails of various length are used both longitudinally and transversely as the basic framework for base frame 12. As will become apparent below, a butt joint is used to interconnect the various mounting rails 18. The transverse rails are always disposed between two longitudinal rails. As such, the desired transverse dimension is always the length of a transverse rail plus twice the thickness of the longitudinal rails. Thus, for example, if a base frame is to have an external dimension of 10 inches by 12 inches (the external dimension of the preferred embodiment), the longitudinal rails will be 12 inches long, and the transverse rails will be 111/2 inches long. This difference is best seen in FIG. 4, where the primary longitudinal rail 18a is formed with a pair of end notches or recesses to receive the ends of the primary transverse rails 18b in butt joint relation. Each of these notches is 1/4 inch in width in the preferred embodiment to receive the thickness of the transverse rails 18b. The transverse rails 18b do not include such notches, and their length is accordingly 1/2 inch less than that of the longitudinal rail 18a.
The other mounting rails of the base frame assembly 12 bear the reference numerals 18c, 18d, with the shorter lengths including the highest reference letter.
Reference is made to FIGS. 5a, 6, and 7 for a specific structural configuration of the mounting rails 18, which permits selective, rigid interconnection quickly and easily. Each of the rails 18 comprises a primary longitudinal web 24 having upper and lower offset projecting crowns 25. Each of the crowns 25 defines an edge for the rail 18 and is adapted to receive clip-on insulators or identification tabs as discussed below.
On the backside of mounting rail 18 are a pair of longitudinal, symmetrically spaced ridges 26 that project laterally from the upper and lower edges of the web 24. Projecting oppositely from the inner side of the mounting rail 18 are a pair of symmetrically spaced longitudinal ridges 27. These ridges 27 are offset relative to the ridges 26 by substantially the thickness of a ridge. As such, the ridges 26 of one mounting rail 18 will fit between the ridges 27 of another rail 18. As best shown in FIG. 5a, notch pairs 27a, 27b are formed at repeating intervals along the longitudinal ridges 27. The notches 27a, 27b are spaced by a residual tab 27c, the center to center distance of which defines the measurement L mentioned above. The inner edge of each of the notches 27a, 27b (i.e., the edge defined by the residual tab 27c) is perpendicular to the flat rail side. The outer edges of the notches 27a, 27b are beveled, preferably at 45�. The end of each of the ridges 27 is also beveled at the same angle as shown at 27d.
In the preferred embodiment the base of the notch is 1/4 of an inch, and the thickness of the mounting rail 18 is 1/4 of an inch, exclusive of the ridge 26.
As configured, and as best shown in FIG. 7, the end of one mounting rail may be received in perpendicular, butt joint relation within the vertically aligned notches 27a or 27b of another mounting rail. When interconnected in this manner, the residual tab 27c overlies the outer rail 26 in locking relation, whereas the inner rails 27 engage the beveled corners in complementing relation. This is best shown in FIG. 4, where the end of one of the transverse mounting rails 18b is received in the end notch 27b of the longitudinal rail 18a, and the end of the opposite transverse rail 18b is received in the end notches 27a of longitudinal rail 18a.
Each of the mounting rails 18 further includes a pair of longitudinal ridges 28 that project toward each other in parallel, spaced relation to the inner face of web 24 to define a captured T-shaped slot 29. The slot 29 is configured to receive and retain either of the internal fasteners 22, 23, as discussed below.
Each of the mounting rails 18 further includes a plurality of tapped bores 31 extending from the top crown 25 into the slot 29. The bores 31 are equidistantly spaced between the residual tabs 27c at uniform intervals, and in the preferred embodiment are two inches apart.
Extending laterally through the web 24 are a plurality of tapped bores 32. These tapped bores 32 are equidistantly spaced at a uniform interval, with the first bore 32 at each end being spaced from the end a distance equal to one-half the interval. In the preferred embodiment, the first bore 32 at each end is spaced 1/2 inch from the end, and the bores 32 are spaced apart by 1 inch intervals.
With reference to FIGS. 6-9, each of the universal fasteners 22 comprises a L-shaped stamping comprising a short leg 33 and a long leg 34 with a reinforcement indentation 35 formed therebetween. The short leg 33 has arcuate upper and lower edges 36 based on a diameter that is slightly less than the maximum vertical dimension of the T-shaped slot 29. The end edge 40 of the short leg 33 truncates the arcuate edges 36, and the transverse dimension between the edge 40 and the corner of the fastener 22 is less than the frontal opening of the slot 29. Further, the long leg 34 has a necked down portion 37 adjacent the short leg 33 so that, when the short leg 33 is inserted frontally into the slot 29, the entire fastener 22 may be rotated to a position of retention, as shown in FIG. 7. This simplifies the assembly of the rails 18 in perpendicular relation.
The long leg 34 generally has the same width or vertical dimension as the short leg 33. However, its extreme edge terminates in a pair of bifurcations 38 that diverge slightly so that the outer dimension thereof is slightly greater than the internal dimension of the T-shaped slot 29. The bifurcations 38 may be squeezed together through the formation of a pair of radiused surfaces 39 at their inner corners. As such, when the bifurcations 38 are inserted into the T-shaped slot 29, they are frictionally retained in a desired position.
Each of the universal fasteners 22 further comprises a pair of opposed, V-shaped recesses 41 that are spaced from the outer corner of the fastener 22 by an amount which corresponds generally to the distance between the end of a mounting rail 18 and the first tapped bore 31. As shown in FIG. 8, this spacing is such that, with two of the mounting rails 18 interlocked in butting relation, a screw fastener 21 screwed into the first tapped bore 31 will project into the slot 29 and into camming engagement with the angular surface of the V-shaped recess 41. This serves to tighten the rails 18 against each other, and to lock the assembly in place.
Each of the universal fasteners 22 further comprises a generally cylindrical projection 42 that extends from the inner face of the long leg 34 in the direction of the short leg 33. As shown in FIG. 8, the cylindrical projection 42 is spaced so that it generally overlies the fiirst tapped bore 31 of the adjacent mounting rail 18 with the components in assembled relation. As such, the projection 42 accepts any screw fastener 21 extending through the first tapped bore 32, and which is long enough to project beyond the bore 32. In addition, in the preferred embodiment, the cylindrical projection 42 has an inner surface that is tapered relative to its axis, so that such a projecting screw 21 will engage such surface in camming relation, thus drawing the components tightly together as the screw 21 is tightened.
Fastener 22 is universal in the sense that it will interconnect two mounting rails 18 in a corner assembly (FIG. 6), or with one mounting rail 18 abutting another rail 18 at an intermediate point (FIG. 7). Further, fastener 22 serves several functions; viz., to quickly interconnect two or more mounting rails 18 together, to hold the components in loose, assembled relation, and to interconnect the components tightly in the final base frame assembly.
With reference to FIG. 14, the fastener 23 serves the principal function of a corner connector, including identical legs 43 that are necked down at the corner as shown at 44. A tapped bore 46 is formed through each of the legs 43, and spaced for alignment with the end bore 32 of mounting rail 18 with the members in assembled relation (FIG. 15). With screw fasteners 21 inserted as shown in FIG. 15, the abutting mounting rails 18 are held rigidly together.
The base frame assembly 12 further comprises a plurality of mounting plates 19 which are made available in various sizes to accommodate the modular concept. Preferably, the mounting plates 19 are dimensioned substantially in multiples of the dimension L discussed above, although the base dimension is slightly less for manufacturing tolerances and proper fit. With L equal to two inches, the preferred embodiment includes a mounting plate 19a which is approximately four inches by ten inches, a mounting plate 19b which is approximately two inches by ten inches, and three mounting plates 19c each of which is approximately two inches by four inches. Each of the mounting plates is formed with bores or apertures 20 that are spaced corresponding to the tapped bores 31 in the mounting rails 18. Thus, in the preferred embodiment, the apertures 20 extend along each edge of the plate slightly less than one inch from each end at two inch intervals.
Last, the base frame assembly 12 preferably includes four feet 47 (FIGS. 1-3), each of which is L-shaped and has a length chosen to encompass two of the threaded apertures 32 for rigid mounting by screw fasteners 21. The vertical dimension of the feet 47 preferably elevates the base frame assembly 12 from the supporting surface, as shown in FIGS. 1 and 2.
As best shown in FIGS. 3 and 4, the base frame assembly 12 of the preferred embodiment uses a double mounting rail construction within the external frame for greater strength and rigidity. This is facilitated by the double notch construction described above. In addition, the double rail construction provides better end support for the card cage 13 around the periphery of a rectangular card cage opening 50 which the mounting plates 19 do not cover.
Card cage 13 and its components are shown in FIGS. 1-4, 5b-5d and 10-13. With specific reference to FIGS. 1-2, 5b-5d and 10, card cage 13 comprises a frame defining a rectangular parallelepipid made up of a pair of upper mounting rails 48, a pair of lower mounting rails 49 and a pair of side plates 51. The upper and lower mounting rails 48, 49 are of identical length, with the upper rails 48 disposed in opposed, spaced relation over the parallel, spaced rails 49. The side plates 51 are secured by screw fasteners 21 extending into the respective ends of the mounting rails 48, 49, as described in further detail below. As constructed, the components 48, 49 and 51 together define a frame cage adapted to receive a plurality of printed circuit boards or cards 52, the construction and interrelationship of which are also discussed in detail below.
With reference to FIG. 5b, mounting rail 48 comprises a web 53 symmetrically disposed between upper and lower beams 54, 55, respectively. The web 53 is formed with a plurality of rectangular apertures 60 which are spaced at uniform intervals over the web length.
The upper beam 54 terminates in a crown 56 extending longitudinally along its entire upper edge, and which is similar in configuration to the crowns 25 of mounting rail 18. On the inner face of upper beam 54, a horizontally disposed longitudinal slot 57 is formed, which takes the form of a small circular bore that opens onto the inner face of the beam 54 through a V-shaped recess. The slot 57 is disposed and configured to receive one of the screw fasteners 21, which may be of the self-tapping type.
The lower beam 55 has a longitudinal slot 58 similar to the slot 57 formed in its inner face. The bottom edge of lower beam 55 also has a rectangular channel or groove 59 extending over its entire length.
Opposed, beveled ridges 61, 62 project from the respective beams 54, 55 to define a captured, T-shaped slot 63 that is similar in size and configuration to the slot 29 of mounting rail 18.
Mounting rail 49 is very similar to the mounting rail 48, and like reference numerals are used where the structure is identical. Mounting rail 49 is different in that a channel or groove of rectangular cross section is formed in its upper longitudinal edge in place of the crown 56 of mounting rail 48. Further, on the inner face of the lower beam 55, and along its lower edge, an angled ledge 64 is formed which serves as a carrier for other components, as discussed below.
In the preferred embodiment, the mounting rails 18, 48 and 49 are all extruded from aluminum and are thereafter machined to form the various notches, apertures, bores and the like.
The side plates 51 are generally rectangular with each of the upper corners radiused. The bottom edge is bent outward to form a foot 65, and apertures disposed in a row are formed through the foot 65 in spaced relation corresponding to the distance between the tapped bores 31 in mounting rail 18. This permits the card cage 13 to be secured to the base frame assembly 12 by screw fasteners 21, as shown in FIGS. 13.
As best shown in FIG. 2, mounting apertures 66 are formed in a row along the upper edge of side plate 51, and two pairs of mounting apertures 67 are formed along each of its side edges in spaced relation to the longitudinal slots 57, 58 of mounting rails 48, 49. The vertical distance between the aperture pairs 67 is chosen to conform to the length of each of a plurality of printed circuit card guides 71, which are discussed below.
As constructed, the frame portion of card cage 13 (consisting of the mounting rails 48, 49 and side plates 51) is constructed and sized to fit within the rectangular opening 50 on the top surface of base frame assembly 12 which is not covered by mounting plates 19a-19c (FIG. 3). In the modular embodiment shown, this rectangular opening 50 is six inches by six inches, and as shown in FIG. 4, it is bounded in part by one of the external longitudinal mounting rails 18a, and internally of the frame assembly 12 by two mounting rails 18b and one mounting rail 18c. These mounting rails together support the feet 65 of the side plates 51 and the lower edges of the lower mounting rails 49. As shown in FIG. 2, in the assembled form the feet 65 are flush with the mounting plates 19a-19c.
The printed circuit card guides 72 are shown in FIGS. 1, 3-4 and 10-13. With specific reference to FIG. 12, each guide 71 is elongated in shape, defining head portions 72, 73 at opposite ends interconnected by a necked down connector 74. An external strengthening rib 75 extends longitudinally along the outer surface of the connector 74.
Head 72 terminates in a pair of longitudinally extending tabs 76 that are symmetrically spaced apart for a purpose described below. Head 73 has a pair of identical tabs 77.
Projecting laterally outward from the outer face of head 72 are a pair of snap-in connector tabs 78, 79. With additional reference to FIG. 13, the connector tabs 78, 79 are spaced apart a distance corresponding to the distance between the rectangular apertures 60 of mounting rails 48, 49, and small barbs 78a, 79a are formed on their outer surfaces in a position to lock the guide 71 into place when the connecting tabs 78, 79 are fully inserted. The tabs 78, 79 are capable of a limited degree of resilient deflection toward each other to permit entry into and through the rectangular apertures 60. The bottom edge of each of the connectors 78, 79 is beveled, as shown in 78b, 79b for guided entry into the apertures 60.
The head portion 73 is formed with a pair of similar snap-in connector tabs 81, 82, which likewise project outwardly from its outer surface.
A longitudinal groove 83 is formed in the inner surface of guide 71, extending symmetrically over its entire length. As best shown in FIG. 13, the side surfaces of the groove 83 diverge slightly to insure that a printed circuit card 52 is properly received.
With continued reference to FIG. 13, the connector tab pair 78-79 is laterally offset relative to a longitudinal axis of the guide 71, the tab 79 being closer to its side of the guide 71 than the tab 78 is to its associated side. The connector tab pair 81-82 is positioned in the same manner. Accordingly, with the guide 71 snapped into place into the mounting rails 48, 49, the groove 83 is slightly offset or staggered from the position it would otherwise assume if the connector tabs were symmetrically oriented.
This offset feature of the connector tabs 78-79, 81-82 permits adjustment to the position of the printed circuit cards 52 in increments smaller than the spacing between rectangular aperture 60. This is accomplished simply by turning the guide end for end, so that the head portion 73 is at the top of the card cage 13, with the connector tabs 81-82 inserted into the mounting rail 48 (see FIG. 13). This feature eliminates the problem caused by very small holes on the mounting rails with fragile snap connectors, or too little supporting material in the rail. In the embodiment shown, the rectangular apertures 60 are spaced apart at 0.20 inch centers, and the tabs 78-79, 81-82 are offset to provide adjustments in 0.10 inch increments with a minimum of 0.50 inch spacing between the printed circuit cards 52.
Preferably, the guides are molded from plastic to be electrically insulative.
With reference to FIGS. 10 and 11, the printed circuit card guides 71 are used in opposed pairs for each printed circuit card 52. Card 52 is generally rectangular in shape, and includes a pivoted handle 84 at each of its upper corners. These handles 84 are of conventional construction and include a tail 84a that fulcrums against the top edge of mounting rail 48 to assist in removal of the card 52 from its electrical connection.
A plurality of discrete, embedded electrical contacts 85 are disposed along the lower edge of the printed circuit card 52 in a conventional manner. The lower card edge is sized and configured to be received in a socket-type connector 86. As shown in FIGS. 10 and 11, each of the connectors 86 is elongated, extending the entire internal width of the card cage 13. The connector 86 defines a longitudinal groove or socket along its upper edge into which the lower edge of the printed circuit card 52 is inserted, and it has a plurality of separate, internal contacts that are disposed in alignment with the embedded contacts 85 of the card 52. These internal contacts are respectively connected to two longitudinal rows of conductor pins 87 that project downwardly from the connector 86. The pins 87 serve as electrical connections to external leads (not shown).
With continued reference to FIG. 10, each of the socket connectors 86 has a hook 88 integrally formed at each end that conforms to the angled ledge 64 of the mounting rails 49. Accordingly, the socket connectors 86 are easily inserted into place before the guides 71 and cards 52 are added. The connector 86 is locked into the desired position by placement of an associated pair of card guides 71. With reference to FIGS. 10 and 11, each connector 86 is locked vertically by the angled ledge 64 and hook 88 which limit downward movement, and the lower end of the guide 71 and upper edge of the connector 86 limit upward movement. Lateral movement of the connectors 86 is precluded by the tabs 76 or 77, which are spaced to receive the connector 86 therebetween.
With an associated pair of card guides 71 inserted and locked into place, the printed circuit card 52 may be slidably inserted into the grooves 83 of guides 71. The guides 71 guide the printed circuit card 52 downward until the lower card edge is received in electrical contact with the connector 86.
With continued reference to FIGS. 10 and 11, an elongated cap 89 of electrically insulating material (preferably extruded plastic) is snapped over the crown 56 of the upper mounting rails 48 (see also the enlarged detail of the second embodiment in FIG. 19). These caps 89 may be used to identify the printed circuit cards 52 inserted into the card cage 13, or to provide an electrical insulating function as described below.
A modification to the modular system 11 is shown in FIGS. 16-20, in which like numerals for components common to both of the systems are used. The modified system, which bears the general reference numeral 91, utilizes a mother board 92 which serves as a common electrical connection to the several printed circuit cards 52. As shown in FIGS. 16 and 17, the mother board 92 is rectangular in shape, and has a length and width corresponding to the length and width of the card cage 13. As such, it fits into the rectangular opening within the base frame assembly 12 beneath the card cage 13.
The mother board 92 does not, however, rest directly on the mounting rails 18a-c in the embodiment shown. Rather, caps 89 are snapped onto the crowns 25 of the mounting rails 18a-c that bound the rectangular card cage opening to electrically insulate the mother board 92 from the mounting rails 18a-c, which in the preferred embodiment are electrically conductive. Further, and as shown in FIG. 17, plastic washers 93 are disposed between the upper surface of the mother board 92 and the mounting feet 65 of the side plates 51, which are electrically conductive. The use of the caps 89 and washers 93 is optional, depending on the presence of electrically conductive components along the peripheral edges of the mother board 92, or the use of transverse mounting rails 18 within the rectangular card cage opening over which the mother board 92 is positioned.
As shown in FIG. 20, the lower mounting rails 48 are spaced from the mother board 92, avoiding any problem of electrical contact.
With continued reference to FIGS. 16-18, a modified socket connector 94 is used to receive the printed circuit cards 52, and to interface directly with the mother board 92. Because the position of the connector 94 on the mother board 92 is critical, it must be secured semipermanently. In the embodiment shown, this is accomplished by providing a countersunk vertical bore through each end of the connector 94 and securing it to the mother board 92 through the use of screw-nut assemblies 96. In addition, the connector 94 is soldered to the mother board 92.
Because of the need of semipermanent connection of the connectors 94 to the mother board 92, it is not necessary for the card cage 13 to offer support to the connectors 94 as in the first embodiment. Consequently, and as best shown in FIG. 16, mounting rails 48 are used in both lower and upper positions of the card cage 13 (so that there is no inwardly projecting angled ledge 64), and the ends of each connector 94 define vertical faces that are spaced from the inner faces of the lower mounting rails 48.
The connector 94 has two rows of electrical contacts 97 that are spaced in conformance to the embedded contacts 85 on the bottom edge of the cards 52. Connecting pins 98 that are somewhat shorter than the connecting pins 87 of connector 86 project downward from the contacts 97. The pins 97 are disposed and configured to project through conductive apertures within the mother board 92. The length of the pins 87, 97 may be long or short depending on the requirements of the particular system.
Because of the mother board concept, the embodiment of FIGS. 16-20 is assembled in a slightly different manner than the embodiment of FIGS. 1-15. Before the card cage 13 is secured to the base frame assembly 12, the socket connectors 94 are secured in place to the mother board 92, thus constituting a separate subassembly. Insulating caps 89 are placed over the crowns of the mounting rails 18a-c as is necessary, and the mother board 92-connector 94 subassembly is thereafter placed over the rectangular card cage opening. At this point, the card cage 13 is screwed into place in overlying relation to the mother board 92, using plastic washers 93 as necessary.
This is followed by the placement of pairs of guides 71 in alignment with associated connector 94, and insertion of the printed circuit cards 52 in substantially the same manner as the first embodiment.
FIGS. 21-23 disclose a modified side plate 101 constructed for use with the mounting rails 48, 49. Side plate 101 is quite similar to the side plate 51, with the exception that each of its side edges has a pair of spaced connector tabs 102 formed therein which are configured for insertion into the mounting rail slot 29. As shown in FIG. 23, each of the connector tabs 102 comprises a bifurcated tongue bent perpendicularly to the face of plate 101. The outer edges of the tab 102 define barbs 103 constructed to engage and be retained by the sides of the slot 29.
A card cage may be quickly assembled by inserting the respective tabs 102 into the slot 29 of upper and lower mounting rails 48, 49, respectively. Because of the barbs 103, the bifurcated tabs 102 will be frictionally retained within the slot 29. Preferably, the mounting plate 101 includes mounting apertures 104 on each side of each tab 102 and disposed in alignment with the mounting rail slots 57, 58. Screw fasteners 21 will then serve to draw up the card cage assembly rigidly and tightly.
FIG. 21 also discloses the use of an elongated screen 105 that is disposed within the opposed channels 59 of the mounting rails 48, 49. Screen 105 provides ventilation to the circuitry within the card cage 13, and also prevents the accidential entry of any metallic fragment or article that could cause a short in the internal circuitry. Alternatively, a solid plate could be used in place of the screen 105.
In FIGS. 24 and 25, a further embodiment of an end plate 111 having a modified connecting tab 112 is shown. Connector tab 112 is disposed on the side edge of the side plate 111 in the same position as connector tabs 102, but comprises a single tongue member the width of which conforms to the width of the mounting rail slots 29. Centrally punched in its face is a single barb 113 that engages the opposed face of the slot 29 in frictional retention.
FIGS. 26 and 27 disclose an alternative embodiment of a mounting rail 114. Mounting rail 114 comprises a thick web 115 from which opposed offset crowns 116 extend in opposite directions.
A pair of ridges 117 corresponding to the ridges 27 project laterally from the inner face of the mounting rail 114. Opposed ridges 118 corresponding to the ridges 117 define a captured, T-shaped slot 119. However, the back side of the mounting rail does not include any laterally extending ridges, and the web has a width that corresponds to the outside dimension of the ridges 117.
With specific reference to FIG. 26, a pair of notches 121a, 121b are formed through the ridges 117 at repeating intervals in a manner similar to the notches 27a, 27b. However, the notches 121a, 121b have a dovetailed configuration, and a residual tab 121c has side edges that converge in the direction of the associated crown 116.
The end of each of the mounting rails 114 is formed with a male dovetail 122 to fit into the dovetailed notches 121a, 121b. The dovetailed components 121a, 121b, 122 hold the mounting rail 114 in a desired assembly until mounting plates or circuit boards are added to strengthen and solidify the base frame assembly. The tapped bores and mounting apertures of the mounting rails 114 are therefore otherwise the same as for the mounting rails 18.
As constructed and described, each of the embodiments disclosed comprises a modular assembly that offers substantial flexibility in size and configuration without the need of varying or modifying the available components. The end result is a modular system that is simply and easily fabricated from available components while at the same time uniquely suited to the particular electronic application.

London WC2 Astoria
The song remains the same....
The song remains the same. During the course of heavy rock history we've learnt that for every Guns N'Roses there's a Tigertailz, for every [a]Nirvana[/a] a Stone Temple Pilots. Fake, copycat, bandwagon-jumping buffoons whose careers are short, messy and unproductive.
Tonight, we soon realise that for every Korn there's a Static-X and for every Marilyn Manson there's a Coal Chamber. Pity the fools. What we have here is the ropier end of the metal genre. Thanks to the platinum-selling legacy of Brian Warner and Jonathan Davies, the ever-increasing batch of nu-metal acts are a tiresome blend of low-rent goth theatrics, facial piercings, self-pitying sixth-form poetry and, of course, big shorts.
One of nu-metal's more successful acts, Static-X's jerky, industrial racket is impressive for five minutes until you realise that beneath the angst and sledgehammer riffery there's little else to hold the attention. They may run through their debut 'Wisconsin Death Trip' album with vicious aplomb, but when EVERY SINGLE FUCKING SONG goes 'Chug chug A WAH! Chug chug a chugga chugga' it's difficult to see how long they'll be gracing the pages of the world's metal glossies.
At least their heavy-handed, one-riff racket sounds slightly vicious compared to Coal Chamber's sloppy goth meanderings. This really is a new low, right down to frontman Dez Fafara's gleaming bald skull. If Static-X and Coal Chamber really are nu-metal's upcoming stars, then it's only a matter of time before their big shorts are pulled down, leaving their copycat arses on display for all the world to see. Here's hoping.
Type O Negative are a different matter. Their roadies wheel out church benches, a steaming cauldron and a ball of chain. At last, some laughs. Led by the 10ft tall Playgirl model, ex-road sweeper Pete Steele, Type O are a band who've eschewed metal's fickle fashions – they've always been goths.
Blending Sabbath-guitars with Sisters Of Mercy stylings, they have genuine panache and a couple of tunes to boot. It's an old-school, headbanging, metal set, made up of tongue-in-cheek anthems like 'My Girlfriend's Girlfriend' and 'In Praise Of Bacchus'. Type O are the gothic Spinal Tap, and for that, sick genius.
Ditch the big shorts, release the bats and feel the darkness.

Unanswered: Pasing variable from Continuous Forms to another form
I have 2 tables one contains raw book data and is changed on a daily basis. The second contains comments on the books and is not overwritten.
I have a form that displays all data using Continuous Forms (Table 1). I chose this method so that i can place a button next to each record that creates a new record in a comments table (Table 2).
When we create a new comment, we use the ISBN from the raw data as the key and add the comments. This makes up a new record in table 2.
Is there a way to pass the ISBN varibale from the Continuous Form record to the form i use to create the new comment?

A simple way to do this is to create a hidden text box on the second form and on the button click event add code to place that value in the second form after you open it.
If you need to take some action on this value by the second form then create a public function in the second form's code module and call it after the form is opened.
public function SecondFormAction(passed_value as some datatype)
'do action
end function
Call it from first form
Private sub button_Click()
open form
call forms!SecondForm.SecondformAction(Passed_Value)
end subKC

... or just pass the value using the OpenArgs property on the docmd.openform. then refer to it using me.openargs in the second form.

Heres the example in the ms help
Sub OpenToCallahan()
DoCmd.OpenForm "Employees", acNormal, , , acReadOnly, , "Callahan"
End Sub
Sub Form_Open(Cancel As Integer)
Dim strEmployeeName As String
' If OpenArgs property contains employee name, find corresponding
' employee record and display it on form. For example,
' if the OpenArgs property contains "Callahan", move to first
' "Callahan" record.
strEmployeeName = Forms!Employees.OpenArgs
If Len(strEmployeeName) > 0 Then
DoCmd.GoToControl "LastName"
DoCmd.FindRecord strEmployeeName, , True, , True, , True
End If
End SubKC

Triumph is a beautiful minimalist sculpture with a softly matted silver finish over the entire surface. The narrow metal body curved, curled, formed and bent purely by the strength of Nicholas's hands and fingers, and the energy of this physical exertion seems to be reflected in the organic, lively body of the sculpture. The unusual design creates a unique viewing experience from every angle, giving this piece a life of its own as it perches in snakelike or animallike glory in your space. From certain angles it even seems to boast in its beauty, with a puffed chest and an air of superiority.

TYLER (KYTX) - A campaign kickoff party Thursday night for Skip Ogle, who is running for state representative.
Tyler businessman and republican Skip Ogle announced his candidacy back in August.
Thursday night, a kickoff event with his supporters at Rick's on the Square.
Ogle says he wants to put more of a focus on keeping small businesses afloat. Ogle says he thinks the folks in Austin still aren't committed to keeping money in tax-payers' pockets.
"I've talked to so many people across the community, across our East Texas community, that have so many worries and concerns, not only about the federal government, but also about our state government. This is an opportunity to lay out that agenda for this next session," said Ogle.
Ogle will go up against republican incumbent Matt Schaefer. Schaefer announced his run for re-election a week before Ogle.

Pune, India (PressExposure) March 01, 2009 -- (!) Zimblee, the worldâs first truly custom ad creator tool designed for advertisers, agencies, small business owners, bloggers and social networkers allows you to do just this. Now creating a fully customized banner ad for the internet can be accomplished quickly, efficiently and affordably. To celebrate the launch, (!) Zimblee is holding a contest for the âbestâ creative with a MacBook Air to be given to the winner.
âFrom selecting a background, to inserting images and text (!) Zimblee automates the entire ad creation process in an easy to use, point and click, drag and drop interface. Itâs simply the easiest way to create an online ad,â said Founder and CEO Vishal Sharma.
âThe ability to launch your ad to the likes of Facebook is a unique social application which produces a whole new dimension to online advertising. The (!) Zimblee application for social networks is a first step towards a new wave in online advertising. The same process can be extended to other publishers who wish to create a complete self serve platform for their advertisers.â
âTill now advertising online has been a laborious and cumbersome task for marketers,â said Founder and COO Devaraj Southworth. âAlthough it is relatively simple to develop a text ad, the same does apply for truly custom display ads; which take weeks to design and cost hundreds of dollars. The technical complexities aside, small business owners and social media partners just donât know where to begin when it comes to display advertising, let alone how to promote an ad in a social network.â âWe are giving these audiences the opportunity to play in the major leagues. However, even these professionals can benefit from using (!) Zimblee, which enables an advertiser to create professional animated ads. When it comes down to it, an advertiser realizes itâs about value for dollars spent.â
âIn economic times like these itâs even more important for advertisers to track their spending. Although we are in a down economy marketers will continue to put dollars into online because it is a measurable form of media,â added Founders Sharma and Southworth.
âIn developing (!) Zimblee we set out to create a rich media experience for our users; employing a process that was familiar,â said Anup Badhe, CTO. âUsing technologies like Adobe Flex enables us to provide our users an experience, similar to that of creating a PowerPoint slide, but with an end result far superior.â
(!) Zimblee is a (!) Yureekah Inc. Company founded by Vishal Sharma and Devaraj Southworth, serial entrepreneurs with backgrounds in media and consulting. (!) Yureekah recently secured a round of angel investment and will be looking to secure its Series A in the coming months. In addition, (!) Zimblee is looking to partner with several major publishers who wish to utilize these services.
For more information about (!) Zimblee and its capabilities please visit [http://www.zimblee.com].
In other news, sister company (!) Yureekah has moved into Beta. Starting today users will experience increased performance with the release of new features including: improved indexing, faster searches, more data, increased relevancy, less duplicates, ROS categorization to avoid repeated ads, and the ability to search by publisher and size. In the coming months (!) Yureekah also plans to release an API to embed (!) Yureekah into your favorite site. For more information visit [http://www.yureekah.com]
About (!) Zimblee (!) Zimblee is a web-based self-service ad creator platform; the worldâs first truly custom online ad creator tool designed for advertisers, agencies, and small business owners. (!) Zimbleeâs intuitive interface, point and click, drag and drop customization tools enable first-time users as well as experienced marketers to create professional, effective and fully customized display ads for the internet efficiently and affordably. Users can upload logos and images of their choice but also have complete access to the (!) Zimblee library. In addition, this patent pending platform allows a user to not only create a display ad, but also promote their company, blog, favorite charitable cause, or personal page within a social network. The ability to launch a (!) Zimblee custom ad to a social network provides the marketer with an new medium for advertising. The (!) Zimblee application for social networks is a first of its kind in online advertising. Privately held, (!) Zimblee is a (!) Yureekah Inc.

say "hi!" and turn the other cheek
February 20, 2011
Many years ago, Nikita Krushchev was reported to have said the following while on a visit to the United States:
"I'll tell you what the difference between Christians and me is, and that is if you slap me on the face, I'll hit you back so hard your head will fall off."
In today's Sunday Gospel Jesus instructs His disciples to "offer no resistance to one who is evil". "When someone strikes you on your right cheek, turn the other one as well". It is apparent that Jesus is inclined to giving instructions that are most difficult to follow, at least to a world attuned to strictly secular values like Krushchev. Maybe if I were among the crowd, I might respond: Lord, would it be fine if I just duck my head? I have heard of an interesting explanation offered to explain the response of "turning the other cheek". If someone strikes you on your right cheek, the tendency is for your face to turn to the right and then you turn it back again facing front. However if you turn the other cheek in the opposite direction, your assaulter will be in an unlikely position to strike you again on your cheek with his right hand. His physical position would put him in a dilemma, for striking a person with the back of the hand is interpreted as a challenge among equals and not as a humiliation. So, turning the other cheek appears to be a subtle form of self-defense against a second blow. How interesting. There are actually many interpretations offered for this phrase - some of them literal and some metaphorical.
I remember once while traveling on a train in Australia with my family, I was confronted by a rather huge and mean-looking man who was obviously drunk. He looked at my shirt and then stood squarely in front of me and stared at me quite menacingly. I happened to be wearing a fun tshirt which was emblazoned with the words "I do my own stunts". I whispered a short prayer and said "hi!" with the most congenial smile I can muster. Thankfully the guy broke into a grin, replied "howdy mate!" and then gave me a roman handshake. He then sauntered off to the far end of the train and dozed off. (whew!)
The Gospel also tells us that if you greet your brothers only, it is nothing unusual as even pagans do the same. So I think it is better (and much safer) to say "hi" to strangers rather than "what's your problem, dude". Our kids now laugh every time we recall that incident. The world today is so full of confrontation and so lacking in charity. The Gospel is a timeless reminder that love conquers all and that all those who strive for loving in perfection will be children of the heavenly Father. If only Krushchev knew.

Beats me
Later this year, our manufacturing plant is transferring from its current Metro Manila location to one of the PEZA (Philippine Economic Zone Authority) locations in the South. We are building a new and larger facility at the new location.
One of the PEZA registration requirements was to get a clearance from the DOLE (Department of Labor and Employment) which indicates that our company had no pending labor cases. Fine. It was a reasonable requirement and I had no problem with it since I knew for a fact that we had no pending complaints against us. The only thing is, I found out we had to get three clearances: one from the National Labor Relations Commission (NLRC), another one from the National Conciliation and Mediation Board (NCMB), and yet another one from the Bureau of Working Conditions (BWC). All three agencies are under DOLE. Strange, we were required to get the same clearance (of no pending labor case) from three agencies under the same department. I decided to personally attend to it today since we had a tight schedule, and besides the messenger might get lost in the perplexing web of bureaucracy.
First stop was the NLRC office at Quezon City. Not much of a hassle, but I had to pay a processing fee of 515 pesos and there was an additional requirement of an affidavit attesting that our company had indeed no pending labor case. I will have to go back armed with the affidavit before the clearance gets released. It was an unusual requirement though. Why should I need to produce an affidavit to the effect, if they will verify the same from their docket of pending cases anyway?
Next stop was the DOLE building in Intramuros, which houses both the NCMB and the BWC. The NCMB was pretty much straightforward, all they required was the letter request and they would release the clearance in two days. The BWC however, required much more. I was attended to by one courteous personnel who asked me to wait awhile as he had to go to another room to attend to something. It appears that a major Jollibee delivery took place and he was charged to distribute the snacks. I waited patiently in the room which happened to have five BWC personnel at their desks. They seem to be in a relaxed mood, there was no busy atmosphere, and some chatted away. I happened to be the only outsider in the room waiting to be served, but the amazing thing is that while I cooled my heels, I appeared to be invisible to those five government workers. I swear no one as much as glanced in my direction, it's as if I did not exist at all. Thankfully, the guy reappeared in about 15 minutes. He said I should come back and give a photocopy of our company's registration under DOLE rule 1020. I have no idea what on earth that is, so that will be another adventure. Further, it beats me why three agencies, under the same department, require varying requirements for the same, same clearance stating basically the same thing.
That's Philippine bureaucracy for you.
The crisis in Egypt: all about bread?
Bread Is Life: Food and Protest in Egypt
"...Whoever ends up seeing the nation through to its next phase would do well to keep bread high on their list of priorities.
In the last few days, soaring food prices have been cited as one of the proverbial straws that led Egyptians to take to the streets in frustration over Murbarak's 30-year rule. It wouldn't be the first time that food has been a catalyst for social upheaval in the northern African nation. In 1977, what came to be known as the Egyptian Bread Riots broke out after the state ended its subsidies of basic food staples. Hundreds of thousands of poor Egyptians took to the streets; scores were killed and hundreds were injured. Thirty years later in 2007 and 2008, as food prices soared and food riots swept cities across the globe, panic over a disruption in the supply chain of flour and bread in Egypt again unfolded into deadly protests."
Here is an interesting comment by Vasumurti:
...According to Buckminster Fuller, there are enough resources at present to feed, clothe, house and educate every human being on the planet at American middle class standards.
The Institute for Food and Development Policy has shown that there is no country in the world in which the people cannot feed themselves from their own resources.
Moreover, there is no correlation between land density and hunger. China has twice as many people per cultivated acre as India, yet less of a hunger problem. Bangladesh has just one-half the people per cultivated acre that Taiwan has, yet Taiwan has no starvation, while Bangladesh has one of the highest rates in the world.
The most densely populated countries in the world today are not India and Bangladesh, but Holland and Japan.
Many of us believe that hunger exists because there's not enough food to go around. But as Frances Moore Lappe' and her anti-hunger organization Food First! have shown, the real cause of hunger is a scarcity of justice, not a scarcity of food.
You can say that again.
On to the numbers game in the House
Choosing Life, Rejecting the RH Bill
Bishops call faithful to act together Vs RH Bill
CBCP may pull out of dialogue with Malacañang
San Pablo Bishop calls for province-wide march in defense of life
The bill has been retitled: "An act providing for a comprehensive policy on responsible parenthood, reproductive health and population development and for other purposes". My what a kilometric title, even as "for other purposes" was added as if the overreaching and pretentious title was not enough. Committee Chairman Espina said the committee tweaked the bill to include in the title "responsible parenthood," to "give recognition to what is being pushed by the Catholic Church and Malacanang". But of course it takes more than "tweaking of the title" to really incorporate genuine responsible parenthood in a legislation. They can call their pet anything they want, but a dog is still a dog, and will remain a dog. It is a wonder how on earth one can even legislate responsibility in parenting, and more wonders if they even have an idea of what they are talking about. The term responsible parenthood was actually coined by the Church, taking off from the landmark Humanae Vitae encyclical of Pope Paul VI. In that encyclical, the Pope stated the principles.
Responsible Parenthood
10. Married love, therefore, requires of husband and wife the full awareness of their obligations in the matter of responsible parenthood, which today, rightly enough, is much insisted upon, but which at the same time should be rightly understood. Thus, we do well to consider responsible parenthood in the light of its varied legitimate and interrelated aspects.
With regard to the biological processes, responsible parenthood means an awareness of, and respect for, their proper functions. In the procreative faculty the human mind discerns biological laws that apply to the human person.
With regard to man's innate drives and emotions, responsible parenthood means that man's reason and will must exert control over them.
With regard to physical, economic, psychological and social conditions, responsible parenthood is exercised by those who prudently and generously decide to have more children, and by those who, for serious reasons and with due respect to moral precepts, decide not to have additional children for either a certain or an indefinite period of time.
Responsible parenthood, as we use the term here, has one further essential aspect of paramount importance. It concerns the objective moral order which was established by God, and of which a right conscience is the true interpreter. In a word, the exercise of responsible parenthood requires that husband and wife, keeping a right order of priorities, recognize their own duties toward God, themselves, their families and human society.
From this it follows that they are not free to act as they choose in the service of transmitting life, as if it were wholly up to them to decide what is the right course to follow. On the contrary, they are bound to ensure that what they do corresponds to the will of God the Creator. The very nature of marriage and its use makes His will clear, while the constant teaching of the Church spells it out.
In short, responsible parenthood concerns the objective moral order which was established by God, in the decision of married couples to have children. It is exercised by those who prudently and generously decide to have more children, and by those who, for serious reasons and with due respect to moral precepts, decide not to have additional children for either a certain or an indefinite period of time. The decision is based on four factors: physical, economic, psychological and social conditions.
If the sponsors were really honest, they should have simply titled the bill as "An act providing for state-funded artificial contraceptives"; or "An act mandating sex education in all schools from Grade 5"; or "An act providing for whatever".
Espina says the bill will go into plenary this month. Going by the proceedings in the committee, there is a real possibility that the process will be reduced to a numbers game, without any real emphasis on an understanding and considerations of the (de)merits of the bill. Perhaps that is why Lagman is "overwhelmingly confident" of the passage of the bill. But is the RH bill really the solution to poverty?
In other news, the Philippine economy was reported to have posted a record growth of 7.3% in 2010 - its fastest in two decades. Strange, but no one seems to have felt the record growth. Meanwhile, investigations are ongoing on the alleged plunder of billions of funds in the military.

"Day Treatment Unit"
About: Peterborough and Stamford Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust Peterborough and Stamford Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust Peterborough PE3 9GZ
Posted via NHS Choices
I'd like to tell you about my experience when I had an operation on my ankle yesterday.
The staff on the day unit were friendly and efficient.
The ward was clean and well organised.
I was lucky enough to be first on the list and only needed a local anaesthetic to remove a long screw from my ankle, which was part of the metalwork that had been inserted last December when I broke my ankle in 3 places. The theatre team were brilliant, they allowed me to sit up and watch the operation, I could have laid down and had it screened.
It was fascinating to watch the team at work.
Pop music from my era was played and the whole experience was as good as it could be.
The surgeon gave me advice on how to deal with aftercare.
I was taken straight back to the ward, where I was given a drink and offered food, they checked my blood pressure and pulse and sent me home.
I arrived at 7:30 and left by 10:15. I had been in continuous pain from my ankle, it doesn't hurt anymore. All I can feel is soreness at the operation site, this is due to new bone being chipped away to expose the head of the screw. I'm really pleased with the whole experience.

President Obama: Pass payroll tax cut
February 12, 2012 by staff
President Obama: Pass payroll tax cut, President Obama challenged Republicans on Saturday to pass the payroll-tax cut or be vilified by Americans, according to the Daily News.
"If Congress refuses to act, middle-class taxes will go up — it's that simple," said Obama in his weekly address. "Taxes are set to go up on 160 million working Americans. If you're one of them, then you know better than anyone that the last thing you need right now is a tax hike."
The payroll tax-cut extension, which was extended in December for two months, is now approaching another deadline. Obama is looking for a longer extension to help middle-class families. The two-month extension gave middle-class families a $1,000 break.
"Congress needs to stop this middle-class tax hike from happening — period," said the president, who pointed to statistics that show the economy growing while the unemployment rate has fallen.
"No drama. No delay," said Obama, urging listeners to write their elected officials. "And no ideological side issues that have nothing to do with this tax cut. Now is not the time for self-inflicted wounds to our recovery."
The improving economy has emboldened President Obama, and his call to action will most likely be heard by Republicans. Middle-class families continue to struggle in this country, and whether they support or reject Obama's agenda, they will welcome extra money in their paychecks to help their families.

Could be caused by a bug in the Dutch Language version
I'm puzzled by three recent style behaviors that I've seen on a 6 rc2 site, and mystified because it did not happen on my test site, which has been upgraded piecemeal with every new version and beta from 5.1 to 6 rc2.
Problem 1-2 occurs on both, fixed-width or wide.
1-Panel_left and Panel_right are bunched on the left side of the screen.
2-Page_running_start is pushed down below the panels, leaving a wide empty space on top where it should be.
3-Admin_zone remains narrow (fixed-width) even if setup to use the default theme. Saw this same stubbornness with my Windows WebMatrix 6 beta3 Installation.
Firebug referenced a no parameter panel_right:
#panel_right {
#panel_left {
#panel_right {
Investigating with Firebug once again, I can see the missing code that will fix it in Firebug, but can't find the probable tpl corrupted file to fix. Here is the code and the missing parameter in yellow:
It is possible that the first two problems are caused by a bug in the Dutch Language version being used on that site.
Thanks for any advice on this puzzle!

They are there so that language packs can be made for right-to-left languages (e.g. Arabic or Hebrew), by switching the values around.
Unfortunately Launchpad makes it confusing because it does not use our language codenames. So you just see that "left" or "right" needs translating.

(Sorry to break in this)
I have checked a part of the translation from config_nl.po and theme_nl.po and found some errors.
The difficulty is what parts may be translated and what parts not. Almost everybody translated the links to Dutch as well and that is wrong as most links stay in English. If the address pointed to is also translated then it has to be exactly the same and thats difficult as we are working with several people, and even when with one person, the amount of lines are enormous and its difficult to rember each line exactly. So I think the rule not to translate links (<a href … etc.) could be wise. I just put some links back to English.
I gonna test this when downloaded.

North Sydney Tramways War MemorialPrint Page
North Sydney Tramways War Memorial commemorates Tramways employees who died in service or were killed in action during World Wars One and Two.
The monument was originally erected to commemorate World War One and formerly was located where the Tramway Depot was in Military Road, Neutral Bay. It was unveiled on 3rd November 1918 and was later moved to its present site.
The memorial was rededicated in 1985.
Major-General Lee, State Commandant, yesterday afternoon, in the presence of a very large number of people, at the North Sydney Tramway Depot, Neutral Bay, unveiled a memorial monument to the men of the North Sydney tramway service who have fallen in the war. He said the sacrifice these men had made was a very material factor in enabling people to enjoy comfort and peace in Australia in spite of the devastation wrought on the other side of the world. The men of the department had by the big proportion of enlistments shown their preparedness, willingness, and determination to do their part towards supporting the country in which they lived. Addresses were delivered by Mr. G. Holt, District Superlntendant, who presided, and by Dean Talbot, Father B. McAuliffe, and the Rev. P. Colwell, chaplains.

Calcium-fortified beverages
n Whats on the label may not be what ends up in a glass
ST. PAUL, Minn.A new study published in the January/February issue of Nutrition Today finds naturally calcium-rich milk is the most reliable source of this bone-building nutrient, superior to calcium-fortified soy and rice beverages and many orange juice brands. The study reveals that much of the calcium settles to the bottom of fortified soy and rice beverage containers, even after vigorous shaking. Researchers say that simply adding calcium to beverages does not make them nutritional substitutes for milk. In addition to calcium, milk provides protein, phosphorus, vitamins A and D, and many other nutrients.
The calcium that youll find added to many soy beverages will have settled to the bottom of the container, said Robert P. Heaney, MD, FACP, FACN, Osteoporosis Research Center at Creighton University, Omaha. Hand shaking wasnt enough; we found that really vigorous shaking, such as with a hardware store paint shaker, would have been needed to suspend the calcium in these beverages so you can put them in the glass and drink them. This study shows that the nutrition label for milk is accurate for calcium in that the amount listed on the label is the same as what is actually in a glass of milk.
With 85 percent of shoppers looking at the Nutrition Facts Label when choosing which foods to buy, and almost eight out of 10 Americans not meeting their calcium requirements, this information is critical for health-conscious shoppers.
In this study, milk scored higher than all four soy or rice beverages, and eight of 10 orange products. Scores comparing calcium liquid suspension for two of the orange juice products were nearly the same as milk. Due to the inconsistent quality of calcium fortification in soy/rice beverages and orange juice brands, the researchers concluded milk is the most reliable calcium source.
Recently, the 2005 Dietary Guidelines for Americans recommended three servings a day of calcium-rich milk and dairy foods, such as cheese and yogurt. For more information on the nutritional benefits of dairy foods, visit www.midwestdairy.org and www.nationaldairycouncil.org. In addition, parents and educators can get fun recipes and tips on how to get 3-A-Day of Dairy at www.3aday.org.
