Arkansas/Louisiana state line plant swap...Sat., August 22nd
Bring anything garden-related: plants, *cuttings, *bulbs, *seeds, birdhouses, feeders, windchimes, tools, books, potting soil, etc. Items can be handmade or store bought but please make sure seeds & plants are labeled.
*cuttings - 2 small or unrooted cuttings will count as 1
*bulbs - a small paper sack will count as 1
*seeds - 10 packets of the same or different will count as 1
If you don't have anything to bring you can sign up to bring food, supplies, or door prizes. ABSOLUTELY NO SELLING WILL BE ALLOWED!!!
When you arrive to the swap you will check in & get tickets for everything you bring, including food, supplies, & door prizes. You will then take your stuff (if swapping) & tickets & park somewhere, using your vehicle & any tables you've brought as your 'booth'. Once check-in is over & the swap starts, everyone will use their tickets to "buy" items from other people using their tickets. Hold on to any leftover tickets as we will use these for the door prize drawing. Toward the end, anyone with leftovers they don't want to take home can put in the "surplus" section & everyone can take a turn picking out something until everything's gone. At some point, we'll eat.
*****For people who want to bring food, supplies, or door prizes*****
FOOD: sandwiches, a bucket of chicken, whatever. We'll also want sides, desserts, drinks & ice. Remember to bring a serving utensil if your dish calls for one.
SUPPLIES: paper plates, paper or plastic cups, plastic spoons or forks, napkins or paper towels, name tags or self-adhesive labels
DOOR PRIZES: Anything - doesn't have to be garden-related. Handmade or store bought. May want to include an index card with special instructions, value, whatever.
VOLUNTEERS: To put flyers around your town, help with check-in, handing out door prizes.
*****Some suggestions & rules*****
*Again, no selling! No pets & no alcohol. Kids are okay to bring, you know to watch them.
*You may want to bring a friend to help you. Also, it's a good idea to bring bottled water for your booth, insect repellent, sun block, an umbrella just in case, newspaper to lay down in your trunk, empty box to put plants in.
*You can use your trunk or truck bed to put stuff on but you may want to bring a table & a chair
Please sign up if you even think you'll be coming so I'll have a count. I'll also need to know who (if anyone) will be bringing food, door prizes, & supplies.
LAKE COLUMBIA - there's a swimming area, boating area, & fishing areas in a different location than where the pavilion is located so if anyone wants to bring their kids there's that option for you. No lifeguard so have someone available to watch the kids. Must have a valid Arkansas fishing license to fish. There's RV hookups if anyone wants to stay a weekend (call 8702345253for information). I believe there may be campsites & hiking trails too but not for sure.
The pavilion is covered with a grill, 2 long picnic tables, & 3 benches. Bathrooms are within walking distance. The area around the pavilion is under a bunch of trees so it should be fairly shady for us.
DIRECTIONS: from the Magnolia square, go around the square & past Fred's. Go 3.3 miles & turn right at the Pure gas station. Go 2.2 miles & turn left on County Road 53 (this is a curvy road!). Go 3.1 miles. You'll pass the boat landing & see the lake. Turn right past that & you'll see the pavilion area right across.
Swap will start around 9:00 a.m. or as soon as everyone's checked in. While you're waiting for the checking in to wrap up, you can walk around & arrange swaps if you'd like. Or wait until the swap starts.
I'll be bringing plants, just not sure what. I'll also bring the tickets we'll be using & 2 door prizes.
Plantmasterm, would love to have you at the swap! This will be my first to host although I have been to a couple. I have made posts trying to get ideas on what to do, how a swap works to make it enjoyable, get an idea of the number of people who would come, etc. If anyone else is interested in coming, PLMK! I'm going to 'advertise' in area newspapers & put up signs in places like feed stores & garden nurseries.
Coming into the end of Magnolia from Texarkana, go over the railroad tracks & pass the Deltic Timber plant on the left. Turn right onto County Road 27 when you see the Lake Columbia sign. Follow road for 3.4 miles. Turn right at stop sign then left on County Road 53. Go 3.1 miles & turn into the lake area. You should see the pavilion & the swap area.
We won't have door prize drawings if no one signs up to bring any. We may also forget about using tickets if no door prizes. If no one signs up to bring any food, we will bring for ourselves or plan to drive into town as we get hungry.
If bringing plants, try to water the night before so it's not as heavy or messy. Remember seeds need to be labeled & you should try to have at least 10 packets to get a ticket. Make sure cuttings have at least 2 nodes on them & keep them wrapped in moist (not wet) paper towels in a baggie. Label them so everyone knows what kind of plant they are. Try to make a note of which end is the stem end (end closest to the mother plant)while taking them. If you can have pictures & growing instructions made up that would be great but not necessary.

The Driehaus Museum Hosts One-Day Symposium Louis Comfort Tiffany: The Artist & His Legacy On November 16
CHICAGO, Oct. 25, 2013 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- The Driehaus Museum's exhibition symposium, Louis Comfort Tiffany: The Artist & His Legacy, is a rare opportunity to hear noted speakers explore the artist's life and work. Hosted by WTTW's Geoffrey Baer, it takes place on Saturday, November 16, from 9:30 a.m. to 3 p.m.
The morning begins with a keynote presentation by Tiffany's great-grandson, Michael J. Burlingham. Mr. Burlingham's perspective of Tiffany's legacy is followed by symposium host Geoffrey Baer's interview with Museum founder and collector Richard H. Driehaus, who began acquiring the artist's work in the late 1970s and is recognized as among the country's foremost Tiffany collectors.
The program culminates with presentations by leading scholars who will discuss how Tiffany's legacy relates to the past, present, New York, Chicago, collecting, and more. These speakers are: Exhibition Curator David A. Hanks; Alice Cooney Frelinghuysen, Anthony W. and Lulu C. Wang Curator of American Decorative Arts, The Metropolitan Museum of Art; Tim Samuelson, Cultural Historian for the City of Chicago; and Carolyn Pastel, Vice President and Senior Specialist, 20 th Century Decorative Art and Design, Christie's, New York.
"Tiffany's work in Chicago has been largely unexplored," said Lise Dube-Scherr, Director of the Driehaus Museum. "This symposium delves deeper into that subject and expands people's appreciation of Tiffany's legacy."
The companion book Louis Comfort Tiffany: Treasures from the Driehaus Collection will be available for sale, with Mr. Driehaus and Mr. Hanks signing copies at 2:30 p.m. The symposium takes place at The Murphy, 50 East Erie Street in Chicago. Tickets are $75 for the general public; $30 for students with valid I.D. Group ticket rates (10 or more) are available. To purchase tickets, please visit DriehausMuseum.org. This symposium is sponsored in part by presenting sponsor BMO Harris Bank, with additional support from Christie's.Check Out Our Best Services for Investors

Next week, under the warm Eastern Sierra Nevada sky, a team of Bishop Paiute Tribe job trainees will construct four solar electric systems for low-income families on the Reservation, from start to finish.
This work is part of the on-the-job solar training program with non-profit solar installer, GRID Alternatives, which makes renewable energy technology and training accessible to underserved communities.
Studies show the rapidly expanding solar industry is one of the few bright spots in an otherwise bleak labor market. Employers expect to add about 16 percent more jobs in 2014, according to a recent Solar Foundation report, but four out of five solar companies say they cannot find applicants with enough relevant experience. GRID Alternatives gives Bishop Paiute workers that experience, bringing its three-day ŌĆ£classroom on the roofŌĆØ solar training program direct-ly to the Reservation. The trainees will work side-by-side with GRID AlternativesŌĆÖ solar professionals to install solar electric systems for low-income families on the Reservation.
According to the Tribe, while the trainees learn and apply their skills, they also help families in need to lower their electricity bills and obtain substantial and much needed savings.
ŌĆ£GRID AlternativesŌĆÖ program is a win-win-win for the Tribe,ŌĆØ said Marcella Keller, director of the Bishop Paiute Tribal Employment Rights Office, who has been instrumental in coordinating the training. ŌĆ£Our workers gain a tangible skill and our homeowners save hundreds of dollars. And these solar systems help to clean the air, protecting the natural environment for our future generations as well.ŌĆØ
After completion of the solar training program, the top-performing trainees will be eligible to be hired by GRID AlternativesŌĆÖ local solar subcontractors that are charged with installing dozens more solar systems for residents on the Reservation as part of GRID AlternativesŌĆÖ solar
program for income-eligible
GRID Alternatives and the Bishop Paiute Tribe launched their partnership in 2013 in order to bring the benefits of solar technology and solar job training to the Reservation. ŌĆ£Rooftop solar is working for the reservation,ŌĆØ Bishop Paiute Environmental Director Brian Adkins said. ŌĆ£GRID has helped the Tribe to identify ways to maximize generation on existing rooftops and disturbed areas ŌĆō this helps conserve land for other uses. The current program is predominantly funded by rate-payer funds through the SingleŌĆōFamily Affordable Solar Housing Project made possible by the California Solar Initiative.
ŌĆ£The electrical needs of the Reservation are presently served entirely by a California public utility, Southern California Edison, so there is much opportunity to make a difference for our low-income residents that qualify for the program,ŌĆØ he concluded.
To date, more than 12 members from tribes and communities in the area have been trained and nine families have received solar electric systems at no cost to them.
ŌĆ£The Tribal Council is proud to be able to help our members make low or no-cost rooftop solar a reality,ŌĆØ said Bishop Paiute Tribal Chairman Dale Delgado Jr. ŌĆ£We thank GRID Alternatives and the California Solar Initiative SASH program for their low-income programs and for the partnerships that strengthen our self-determination while helping the environment.ŌĆØ

Contemporary Blues Artist of the Year '06, 07, 09
Sweet Soul music is alive and kicking!
Almost every record you know that was a 1960s radio hit had a secret weapon — a crew of L.A. backing musicians known as "The Wrecking Crew." This group, which included the likes of Glen Campbell, Hal Blaine and Carol Kaye, helped artists ranging from the Partridge Family to the Beach Boys make great-sounding albums.
Joachim Cooder is no stranger to collaborations. Nor is he new to scoring soundtracks. Yet, Cooder's newest project combines his past experiences in an expected way. Son of legendary guitarist Ry Cooder, Joachim's passion for drums came from watching a band mate of his father's, Jim Keltner.
Neal Casal is a hot commodity. In fact, most fans of American rock love his guitar work whether they know his solo music or not. Primarily a solo artist and guitarist for Ryan Adams' backing band, Neal Casal's career was built on country rock sensibilities and tireless out put.
It starts with Chuck talking about the influence of Grover Washington, Jr.'s song "Mister Magic" because it reminded him of the beat of the church music he used to hear. He was playing with Los Latinos at the time and he decided to get his own band and really use that beat. He took the Latin feel and the African feel and locked it in as well as the call-and-response and kept going.
Rodrigo y Gabriela play everything from heavy metal to jazz to acoustic folk. The dynamic duo met in a thrash metal band in Mexico City, but moved to Dublin in 1999. From Ireland, their avant garde music spread to the UK, then to Europe and the United States before finally finding its way back to Mexico.
Zeus makes music that sounds straight out of the seventies. Yet, a shared interest in making music that garners comparison to The Band isn't what initially brought these Canadian rockers together.
Bassnectar is the multi-faceted project of Lorin Ashton. Since beginning his "open-sourced" musical project in the 1990's, Ashton and his Bassnectar alias have become nearly superhuman.
Born in 1946, Louden Wainwright can't really be called over the hill, but he's already got the makings for a great legacy. His children Rufus and Martha are veritable musicians in their own right, and Wainwright's body of work has obviously influenced them.
When The Ting Tings exploded onto the pop scene in 2007, their grunge-chic style and sound were destined for success. Now, five years after the debut of their hit single "That's Not My Name/Great DJ" and four years after their first full length, "We Started Nothing", The Ting Tings are back.

JUPITER, Fla. - Austin Barnes' pinch-hit, two-run double broke a 1-1 tie in the eighth inning, lifting Jupiter to a 4-1 win over the Daytona Cubs Monday night at Roger Dean Stadium.
Ryan Rieger singled to lead off the eighth. Wilfredo Gimenez followed with a bunt single of his own. Two batters and a wild pitch later, Ryan McIntyre walked to load the bases for the pinch-hitting Barnes. Barnes looped an Eduardo Figueroa offering down the right field line, giving Jupiter a two-run lead. Brent Keys added an insurance run with an RBI single before RHP Jordan Conley closed the door in the ninth for his fourth save of the season.
The game was delayed 62 minutes in the sixth inning due to rain.
Making his season debut, 2012 first-round pick LHP Andrew Heaney started and pitched 4.1 innings for Jupiter, striking out nine. He yielded four hits and two walks, throwing 49 of 77 pitches (64 percent) for strikes. Heaney was lifted for RHP Kevin Cravey after Daytona's leadoff hitter, Jon Andreoli, reached on a fielding error with one out in the fifth. A Javier Baez double scored Andreoli, tacking one unearned run to Heaney's pitching line.
Batting third in the Hammerheads' lineup on a Major League rehab assignment, Logan Morrison went 2-for-5 with a pair of singles.
Gimenez and Keys also had two hits each. Keys drove in Jupiter's first run of the game in the second inning and stole a base.
Also pitching in his 2013 debut, Daytona's LHP Kyler Burke yielded one run on four hits and two walks in five innings.
Zeke DeVoss and Baez combined for four of the Cubs' six hits.
Monday night marked Jupiter's ninth-straight win, tying their season-best streak from April 28 to May 7. The Hammerheads have now won 18 of their last 21, pulling within one-half game of the St. Lucie Mets for second place in the Florida State League South Division standings.
The Hammerheads and Cubs will play game two of their four-game set Tuesday night at Roger Dean Stadium. Jupiter's RHP Anthony DeSclafani (4-1, 1.29 ERA) will oppose Daytona's RHP P.J. Francescon (3-3, 5.85). First pitch is scheduled for 6:35 p.m.

Five homicides were reported in Chicago in the last week, with two of the killings in the Englewood area on the South Side, a RedEye analysis of preliminary police data found.
A 26-year-old man was fatally shot Sunday in the West Englewood community area, police said. Two days earlier, a 25-year-old man was shot to death in the neighboring Englewood community area, according to officials.
Both victims were documented gang members, police said. Charges had not been announced in either case, as of Wednesday afternoon.
West Englewood has logged three homicides so far this year, behind the North Lawndale and Austin communities on the West Side and Roseland on the South Side, which have each logged four homicides — the most of any Chicago community area.
West Englewood logged 26 homicides last year, up from 21 killings in 2013, according to RedEye data.
Englewood has reported two homicides so far this year. The South Side community area recorded 21 homicides last year, down from 23 killings in 2013, according to RedEye data.
Citywide, gunshot homicides have been logged in the last week in Austin, Logan Square and Uptown, according to police information.
Sixteen homicides have been reported so far this month. Twenty-one homicides were recorded in February 2014, according to a RedEye analysis.
Counting January totals, the city has seen 48 homicides, to date, versus 40 killings in the same period in 2014, according to RedEye data.

Hiked the west slopes from the Iowa Gulch TH today- trailhead was very hard to find- we ended up taking a left on Lake County Road 2B from Lake County Road 2- it lead us to close to the trail head- there was still a lot of snow so we had to walk a bit up the road- a lot of icy crust all the way up the gully, but no snowshoes needed. We heard a pack of coyotes below us in Iowa Gulch which was awesome too! Some snow along the ridge line, and the summit was covered in it- and super windy!! The descent was quick until the gulch toward the beginning of the trailhead, where the snow had softened considerably and was hard to get through- we sunk down to our thighs a few times. Overall beautiful hike with great views- just hard to find the trail head!! |

Some things are never as they seem. That's especially true when talking about the bankruptcy of General Motors. From afar, it's easy to look at GM's issue being one of decades of mismanagement, poorly built cars, and a certain, too-big-to-fail mindset. But closer to the situation, as the Detroit-based company was well and truly spiraling out of control in 2009, there was much more that the public wasn't able to notice.

Why We Still Haven't Found What We're Looking For
We long for heaven, and we will never feel fully at home until we get there. This keen insight into our souls pervades the writings of C. S. Lewis. From his Chronicles of Narnia to Mere Christianity, Lewis's writings continually return to the theme of heaven as our true home, the land we have been searching for our whole lives, a place where all is finally made right and that all the joys in this life point to.

Arizona Cardinals
NFL.com pegs Carson Palmer to the Cardinals
The Arizona Cardinals have been one of several teams in need of an answer at quarterback during the offseason.
While some thought the Cardinals were done looking for a quarterback in free agency after the signing of Drew Stanton, NFL.com's Marc Sessler thinks otherwise.
In a piece titled "Who's next on the NFL quarterback carousel?", the Cardinals are the likely landing spot for Oakland Raiders quarterback Carson Palmer.
The Oakland Raiders don't plan to pay Palmer's $13 million salary and the grizzled veteran is "highly unlikely" to take a pay cut. With a divorce looming, Palmer is a logical target for coach Bruce Arians in Arizona. The Cardinals are upbeat about Drew Stanton and Brian Hoyer, but Palmer is a present-day upgrade over both. Adding Palmer to the mix also allows the Cardinals to use their No. 7 pick on an offensive tackle. Palmer is a plodder who must be protected well -- not a Cardinals specialty of late -- but he'd give Arians a known quantity under center. Destination: Cardinals
If Palmer is released and the Cardinals make an offer, they would be pursuing a 33-year-old, two-time Pro Bowler who threw for 4,018 yards with 22 touchdowns, 14 interceptions and a 61.1% completion percentage last season. Based on statistics alone, Palmer would appear to be an upgrade at the quarterback position for Bruce Arians and the Cardinals in 2013.

Directv has a pretty thin line between Account Stacking and Vacation Residence Directv Does allow you to have a 2nd box installed at a vacation residence with out having the need for a 2nd account. But! 1. The service is considered one or the other, as in everyone has to be at the vacation home or at home residence active services can not be had in both places at the same time ( yes i know there nothing we can do to stop this ) 2. Locals are one place or another we cant carry two local markets 3. DNS rules get really complicated with Vacation residences so please dont "move" your selves Account stacking 1. An active box that is not at a vacation home. 2. An active box that is at a vacation home where there are premant residences at both locations 3. Any box install any where that is not on the same address. 4. adding a box and mailing it to your friend in canada/cuba
unbelievable Hey Stonecold I agree with everything you have said but would like to share an experience a friend had with D* about account stacking and I actually witnessed the call myself as I was in the same room and listened on speakerphone. Now for the record I have Directv at my main home in Bloomington and ONLY there, but I do have BellTV (canadian sat) at my Canadian home as well as my American home. Although know one is at my residence in Canada when we are not there so we are only watching it at one place or the other. Anyway before I left Montana and moved to Bloomington a friend of mine called D* and said that he needed 5 more HD DVR's so he could ship them to family residences he has in Canada. Now I would not have believed this if I didn't hear it with my own ears. The lady csr said oh yes Mr.*** thats no problem we do that all the time. Infact she also sent out an installer to hook each one up and activate them first to make sure they all were working before they where shipped to Canada, and that is what she said word for word. I could not believe it. I still don't know how that is possible. Are the calls not monitered for quality control anymore?
Now that I think about it, it probally was a dealer because he didn't put his phone on speaker until he asked for the equipment, so I can't be sure. I just can't see D* doing that. I will have to ask him next time I talk to him.
I be the first to say I can monitor anyone but my own reps and they would not do that but I seen all kinds of craziness before unlike some stories I hear I can believe that and there probably someone who need to learn how to read company policy espeically if your friend mention canada.
What about my vacation home in Upstate NY. I'm there about 2 months out of the year but I have the HR20 and a H21 that I bought and own that I just activate when I'm there, But I get a seperate bill. So I wouldn't have to do this ? Problem is , I like to get the locals from there, Because we do a lot of snowmobling in the winter, and like to watch the local weather. Can I suspend My Leased account at Home in PA while I'm in NY? Can't I just Combind accounts? Can I add these receivers I own to my Main account without buying new access cards?
Can I suspend My Leased account at Home in PA while I'm in NY? YES Can't I just Combind accounts? YES you can Can I add these receivers I own to my Main account without buying new access cards? If you Merging accounts no need to change access cards. As long as it a vacation place and both residences are not active aka ( people watching tv at the same time ) then it not considered account stacking just a vacation residence. With a vacation residence you can have your vaca residence on file and when your in ny you give us a call we change the service address to your ny address and when you back in pa we will change it back.
Got Ya, Thats good News. If we are in NY, No one is at our Pa house, so both services wouldn't have to be on anyway.
LOL as well, Seriously, I read an article some time back about how there is a thriving black market in Cuba for DirecTV/Dishnetwork systems. It was especially bad during the "piracy" era. Now relatives/friends in the U.S. carry receivers on their accounts and somehow get the equipment down to Cuba. One guy in Cuba had a 18" dish in a garbage can and took the lid off at night to watch DirecTV......
Trust me I had some people down here ask me if I could get them equipment I tell them no as I dont have access to it they are always upset. There are still plenty who have 10 or so boxes and they live in a 1 bedroom flat. Signal integerity finds out that like 8 of those boxes are in cuba. Happens more then you think.
Do you have any control over slipping me 2 HD DNS Channels? I'm about to make the call, But something tells me I'll be let down. I wish D* receiver could get All American Direct service.:up
Well after talking to my friend again he claims he was talking directly to D* and not a dealer, so i'm not sure what to say about that. I guess if its like stonecold says and my friend lucked out and got a csr that didn't quite know all the rules & regs then I guess I could see that. Its a chance I would never take.
for account mergers you will need to go to Retentions for that not that it a rentention matter but they handle that type of thing as they have nothing better to do during the day.
I thought that you could not suspend leased equipment - it's either active, or if not, then it has to be shipped back to DIRECTV?
You can not suspend individual receivers but you can suspend the account as a whole Since Hemi has 2 account he could suspend one while the other is in use .
Just a note on that if your contract end date is 1/1/2011 and you susp for two months it those 2 months of susp dont count towards your contract so your new end date would be 3/1/2011
My second account also has owned equipment on it, so I could turn it off and on when I want. I mean of course 1 month minimum. But I also Have to pay my leased account. So If I could suspend my account for 2 months that would save me around $200 per year. But now, if you have 2 Leased accounts, one can't be suspended for 10 months right?

US 6027360 A Abstract An apparatus for securing wire harness terminal connectors to the underside of an electrical junction block in a blind assembly operation. The apparatus includes a flotation bracket with chambers for receiving the connectors in a mechanical snap-fit in which the connectors are free to float up and down over a limited range within their respective chambers. The connector-containing bracket is next placed in a lower cover, which then fits over the underside of the junction block. Bolts rotatably mounted in the junction block are located to automatically engage captive nuts held in the connectors. As the bolts are subsequently threaded through the captive nuts, the connectors are drawn up in the bracket chambers from a lower rest position to an upper electrical engagement position where the terminals in the connector are placed in electrical engagement with bus bars in the junction block. Upper stops in the chambers prevent the connectors from moving beyond the electrical engagement position and damaging parts of the junction block, bus bars, connectors and terminals.
Claims(6) 1. A bracket for supporting an electrical connector for electrical engagement with a junction block, the bracket comprising:
a chamber having an open top and bottom for receiving an electrical connector through the open bottom, the chamber including lower stop structure in the chamber adapted to allow the electrical connector to be inserted into the chamber through the open bottom and to prevent the electrical connector from falling back out of the open bottom once inserted, the chamber further including upper stop structure in the chamber adapted to prevent the connector from being raised within the chamber past an electrical terminal engagement position, the lower stop structure and the upper stop structure being spaced a distance apart such that the electrical connector is free to float between the lower and upper stop structure within the chamber but normally rests on the lower stop structure, the bracket being adapted to be attached to a lower surface of a junction block such that bolt means on the junction block extends into the chamber when the bracket is attached to the junction block to initially engage a captive nut in the connector when the connector is resting on the lower stop structure, whereby rotation of the bolt means from an upper surface of the junction block moves the electrical connector upwardly in the bracket chamber from the lower stop structure until it engages the upper stop structure, at which point the electrical connector is in electrical engagement with the junction block. 2. A bracket as defined in claim 1, further including a plurality of chambers adapted to floatingly support a plurality of electrical connectors for engagement by a plurality of bolts on the junction block.
3. A bracket as defined in claim 1, wherein the bracket includes a lower cover adapted to receive the connector-containing bracket and to attach the connector-containing bracket to the lower surface of the junction block.
4. A bracket as defined in claim 1 further comprising at least one vertical guide in the chamber separate from the lower and upper stop structure and adapted to slidingly engage a mating portion of the connector to guide the vertical movement of the connector within the chamber between the lower and upper stop structure.
5. An apparatus for mechanically and electrically connecting a wire harness terminal connector to the underside of a junction block, comprising:
a bracket with a top and an underside, the bracket having a connector-receiving chamber adapted to receive a connector through the underside of the bracket, the chamber including an array of movement-limiting stops adapted to permit entry of the connector into the chamber from the underside of the bracket to a flotation position in which the connector is trapped for limited up and down movement in the chamber between upper and lower sets of the stops, the bracket being adapted to be attached to the underside of a junction block at the top of the bracket while the connector rests on the lower set of stops, the lower set of stops holding the connector in an initial engagement position for blind engagement with a bolt on the junction block, and the upper set of stops defining a fill engagement position in which the electrical connector is fully electrically connected to the junction block when the bolt is operated to move the connector toward the top edge of the bracket, the upper stops preventing movement of the connector upwardly beyond the full engagement position. 6. An apparatus as defined in claim 5, wherein the bracket includes a plurality of connector-receiving chambers for receiving a plurality of connectors in the initial engagement position for blind engagement by a plurality of bolts on the junction block.
Description This invention relates in general to wire harness terminal connectors which mate with junction blocks, and more specifically to devices for holding the connectors while the connectors are electrically connected to components on the block. Junction blocks are typically used in automotive vehicles to streamline electrical wiring by eliminating multi-branch wiring. A junction block enables branch circuits, fuses, relays and other electrical circuit components to be consolidated in a single housing. The housing is often located within a vehicle engine compartment. Electrical connectors attached to the housing connect the circuit components through wire harnesses to various electrical devices, such as headlamps, fuel pumps, windshield wiper motors and ignition switches. As vehicle electrical systems become more complex, the number of circuits packaged in the typical junction block has increased. However, space constraints in the engine compartment preclude expanding the size of the junction block. As a result, it is increasingly necessary to mount additional electrical connectors on less-accessible portions of the junction block, for example underneath. The junction block then has to be awkwardly inverted to properly join the connectors and their wire harnesses to its lower side, and may even have to be removed from the engine compartment. U.S. Pat. No. 5,431,573 discloses a connector assembly frame used to connect an array of male terminals to female terminals fixed in a base board. The male terminals are first loosely mounted in the frame with laterally projecting mounting pins engaging elongated cam-type slots in the frame sidewall. One end of the frame is then pivotally mounted on the baseboard, and the male terminals are sequentially cammed into electrical engagement with the female terminals by rotating the frame down onto the base board. U.S. Pat. No. 5,431,573 also discloses a "prior art" connector assembly in its FIGS. 25 and 26, wherein a group of male connector terminals are simultaneously driven into a female connector bracket with a bolt-driven "holding member". The bolt passes through the holding member and the male connector group into a threaded hole in the female connector bracket. As the bolt is threaded into the female connector bracket, the holding member simultaneously pushes each connector in the male connector group into a corresponding receptacle of the female connector bracket. U.S. Pat. No. 5,480,322 illustrates another bolt-tightened connector assembly, in which the male connectors are locked into a first frame against up or down movement, and the female connectors are secured in a second frame. A bolt on the male connector frame engages a nut trapped in the female connector frame to pull them together, guided by ribs on the male connector frame. The present invention is a bracket adapted to hold at least one, and preferably several, electrical connectors in position for a "blind", throughbolt-type engagement with terminals in a junction block. In general the bracket comprises at least one (and preferably multiple) connector-holding chambers having open tops and bottoms for receiving an electrical connector through the open bottom, the chamber including lower stop structure which allows the comnector to be inserted into the chamber and then floated in position for engagement by a throughbolt from the junction block. The chamber further includes upper stop structure adapted to prevent the connector from being raised within the chamber past an electrical terminal engagement position. The electrical connector is free to float between the lower and upper stop structure within the chamber but normally rests on the lower stop structure until it is drawn up by the throughbolt to the terminal engagement position. In a further form of the invention, the bracket is complemented by a lower cover which secures the connector-containing bracket to the junction block. This invention, together with other objects, features, aspects and advantages thereof, will be more clearly understood from the following description, considered in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. FIG. 1 is an exploded perspective view of a bracket according to the present invention, in combination with a junction block, modified lower cover, and modified wire harness connectors; FIG. 2 is a cross-sectional side view of the bracket and a connector prior to mounting the connector in the bracket; FIG. 3 is the same cross-sectional view as in FIG. 2, but illustrating the connector mounted in the bracket; FIG. 4 is a partial top view of the bracket-mounted connector of FIG. 3; FIG. 5 is a cross-sectional side view of the structure shown in FIG. 1, with the bracket secured to the junction block prior to electrical engagement of the connector with the junction block; FIG. 6 is a detailed view of the connector and bracket of FIG. 5, illustrating the initial bolt-driven engagement of the connector to the junction block as the connector "floats" inside the bracket; and FIG. 7 shows the connector of FIG. 6 fully engaged with the junction block terminals inside the bracket. Referring now to FIGS. 1 and 2, an illustrated example of a flotation bracket 12 according to the present invention is divided into three male connector chambers 14. The ends of electrical wires 20 from harnesses 22 are terminated in male connectors 18 by electrical terminals 19 (FIG. 2) received and held in the connectors in a conventional manner. Illustrated flotation bracket 12 is generally rectangular, with two long side walls 24 and two shorter end walls 26. The bracket has a bottom edge 28 and a top edge 30, but is otherwise open on top and bottom. Each end wall 26 has an exterior spring tab 32, and each side wall 24 includes a pair of tabs 32. The tabs have free ends 36 spaced from the end and side walls by gaps 38. The spring tabs 32 are adapted to releasably lock with mating structure in a separate lower cover 74, in a manner described below. Flotation bracket 12 has three chambers 14. Referring to FIG. 2, each chamber includes pairs of upper stops 42 with shoulders 44 facing the bottom of the flotation bracket. Lower stops 46 are located centrally near the bottom of the bracket, with shoulders 48 facing the top of the bracket. The stops are preferably integrally molded in the bracket. Chambers 14 also include vertical guide ribs 50 running top to bottom on the transverse inner faces of each chamber (FIGS. 1 and 4). Referring now to FIGS. 1, 2, and 4, each connector 18 has two longer side walls 52 corresponding to the side walls 24 of bracket 12, and two shorter end walls 54. Electrical terminals 19 are received in terminal chambers opening on the underside 56 of the connector. Upper side 58 is provided with a matching set of terminal chambers 60 for receiving mating terminals or bus bars from a female connector. Each side wall 52 has two small upper stops 62 located at approximately mid-height on the connector. A lower stop 64 is located centrally near the bottom of each side wall 52, with an inclined upper face 65 and a bottom shoulder 66. The end walls 54 of the connectors include vertical grooves 68 sized and positioned to receive the guide ribs 50 in bracket chambers 14 when the connectors are inserted into the bracket, as best shown in FIG. 4. Once male connectors 18 are seated in chambers 14, flotation bracket 12 is designed to be received in lower cover 74 (FIG. 1) for a junction block. Lower cover 74 is basically a box with an open top, sized to receive the flotation bracket. In the illustrated embodiment, cover 74 has two long sides 76 extending between ends 78. One of the sides 76 has spaced, upwardly-opening slots 80 for wire harnesses 22. Channels 84 are formed on the inner surfaces 82 of the cover, with one channel on each end wall 78 and two channels on each side wall 76. Each channel 84 is designed to receive one of tabs 32 on bracket 12 in a sliding snap-fit over beveled lock ramps 86. Still referring to FIG. 1, a junction block 88 comprises an upper mounting surface 90 for receiving electrical components such as connectors, relays and fuses. Cavities through the mounting surface enable blades or terminals from the components to electrically mate with internal junction block bus bars 92, as illustrated in FIGS. 5 and 6. The junction block further includes bolt apertures 94 extending through the block, one for each chamber 14. Bolts 96 are rotatably secured in apertures 94, and are of a conventional type for securing connectors together such that their electrical terminals mate, while over-tightening of the bolt, which could damage the terminals, is prevented. The bolt has a head 98 and a shank 100. The shank has an insertion end 102 with a short, threaded section 104. A longer, non-threaded section 106 extends between the threaded section 104 and an integral flange 108. An insert collar 110 secured in the aperture 94 between the flange 108 and bolt head 98 secures the bolt in position with the aperture while allowing it to rotate freely. A spring device 112 is preferably sandwiched between the bolt head and insert member. The bolt and aperture structure may be as illustrated or may take other known forms, for example as disclosed in U.S. Pat. No. 5,201,625, which is hereby incorporated by reference. In operation, wire harness connectors 18 are inserted into bracket chambers 14 from the bottom of flotation bracket 12 (FIGS. 2 and 3). Guide ribs 50 in the chambers slide into grooves 68 in the connectors, as best shown in FIG. 4. Guide ribs 50 align the connector in the chamber and guide connector ramps 64 into contact with lower stops 46 on the inner walls of the chamber. As the connector is pushed into the bracket chamber, each ramp 64 slides over associated lower stop 46 until it snaps past the stop and shoulder 66 of the ramp rests on shoulder 48 of stop 46. Stops 46 prevent the connector from falling out of the bottom of the flotation bracket once inserted as described above. At the same time, the pairs of upper stops 42 near the top of the bracket prevent the connector from being pushed or pulled out through the top of the bracket by virtue of their engagement with connector stops 62. As best shown in FIG. 3, connectors 18 in their respective chambers 14 and flotation bracket 12 are free to "float" up and down between upper stops 42 and lower stops 46, limited in downward movement by ramps 64 and in upward movement by mid-level connector stops 62. This range of motion is illustrated by the arrows "U" and "D" in FIG. 3. Referring again to FIG. 1, the connector-containing bracket is next inserted into the open top of lower cover 74. Wire harnesses 22 are received in U-shaped openings 80, while spring tabs 32 enter channels 84, the free ends 36 of the spring tabs snapping into place over lock ramps 86 to secure the bracket in the lower cover. The length of channels 84 is designed to provide room between the underside of the connector and the bottom of the lower cover to accommodate any bend in the wire harnesses. The wire harnesses, connectors, bracket and lower cover can be transported in this pre-assembled condition for fitting to the junction block at a final assembly point. FIG. 5 illustrates lower cover 74 fitted to the underside of the junction block 88. Conventional latch devices (not shown) on the block and cover secure the block and cover together. Bolts 96 now engage captive nuts 72 in connectors 18, initially being threaded partway into the nuts. Each connector is therefore held in a first or to disengaged position by its respective partway-threaded bolt (FIG. 5), with the stop surfaces 66 of connector ramps 64 resting on shoulders 48 of stops 46 on the bracket's inner walls. At the position shown in FIG. 5, there is no electrical contact between the bus bars 92 of the junction block 88 and connector terminals 19. Additionally, the junction block, lower cover, bracket and connectors are stationary with respect to one another, i.e. the bracket and lower cover remain fixed in position and the connectors cannot move in the bracket except when their respective bolts are threaded further into the connectors through captive nuts 72. It will be apparent to those skilled in the art that the chamfered opening 72a in the connector above captive nut 72 is sized and positioned to guide the end 102 of bolt 96 into the nut threads even though the person assembling the connector-containing bracket to the junction block is working "blind", because the bolt cannot actually be seen engaging the connector. The pre-assembly of connectors 18 and flotation bracket 12 accordingly provides an important alignment function, automatically aligning each of the connectors 18 with its respective bolt 96 in junction block 88 for positive, repeatable blind assembly in which the ends of the bolts are automatically guided into the threads of captive nut 72. At this point the person assembling the unit can give each bolt head a few quick turns to thread the end of the bolt partway into its respective connector nut to achieve the initial assembly of FIG. 5. In order to electrically engage the junction block bus bars and the connector terminals as desired, bolts 96 are subsequently threaded fully through captive nuts 72 in the connectors as shown in FIGS. 6 and 7. As the bolts are rotated, connectors 18 are drawn upward toward the junction block (FIG. 6) until their terminals 19 mate with junction block bus bars 92 (FIG. 7). When the connectors are in this second, electrically engaged position shown in FIG. 7, the mid-level stops 62 on the connectors meet upper stops 42 on the inner walls of the bracket, preventing further upward movement of the connector. Simultaneously, the threaded sections 104 of the bolts pass through captive nuts 72. If torque is applied the bolt will continue to spin, but since only the non-threaded section 106 of the bolt lies within the captive nut, the bolt cannot be tightened further and no damage will occur to the mated parts. To disengage the connectors from the junction block, the bolt is simply rotated in the opposite direction. Spring device 112 sandwiched between bolt head 98 and insert member 110 keeps the threaded section 104 biased upwardly against the threads of the captive nut. Therefore, when the bolt is turned in the opposite direction, threads 104 and nut 72 engage and the connector is forced back down into the bracket to the electrically disengaged position of FIG. 5. The invention illustrated by the embodiments above allows connectors to be relatively effortlessly mated with junction block components through the underside of the junction block. Connector installation and electrical engagement can be made as a "blind" operation. Serviceability of the junction block and connectors and even of the electrical systems supplied with power from the junction block is improved, since the electrical connections can be safely disengaged by simply loosening the bolts. The multiple-connector flotation bracket pre-aligns multiple connectors for simultaneous blind installation, reducing assembly time. Since minor changes and modification varied to fit particular operating requirements and environments will be understood by those skilled in the art, this invention is not considered limited to the specific examples chosen for purposes of illustration. The invention is meant to include all changes and modifications which do not constitute a departure from the true spirit and scope of this invention as claimed in the following claims and as represented by reasonable equivalents to the claimed elements. Accordingly, I claim: Patent Citations

Upcoming Event
Partners in the Community: Good for Your Business, Good for Nonprofits
Time: 7:30 am - 9:00 am
Place: Mile High United Way
A day of art and music kicks off Denver's street-fair summer (slideshow)

- Email | Twitter | LinkedIn | Google+
After an unusually soggy spring, Denver got down to the happy business of celebrating summer's advent Saturday, launching its crowded summer schedule of street fairs and art festivals.
The Downtown Day of Rock filled streets off downtown's 16th Street Mall with bands and fans Saturday.
I particularly enjoyed the Noms, an Albuquerque outfit that played with passion and suggested an amalgam of Mumford & Sons and Denver's own Lumineers.
Day of Rock helps raise funds for Concerts for Kids, founded by Christie and Walter Isenberg (the latter president and CEO of Denver hotel developer and operator Sage Hospitality). The charity supports child health care and education through concert fundraising and community service.
Also on Saturday's schedule were Colorado faves Wendy Woo and the Railbenders along with national acts like Peter Cincotti, Vintage Trouble, Lee Brice, Roger Clyne and the Peacemakers and Fishbone.
Meanwhile, the Downtown Denver Arts Festival, which continues through Sunday, has moved back to its former site at the Denver Performing Arts Complex. (Its previous site, Denver Pavilions, hosts a new event called ArtSpill).
The Arts Festival cascades out from the canopied Plex to the grassy grounds around Jonathan Borofsky's "Dancers," the spindly sculpture facing Speer Boulevard.
For photos of both, click on the image at upper right,
Other summer-kickoff events this weekend include the Boulder Creek Festival and the Old South Gaylord Street Festival.

Stating Hobbies just for the sake of it!!!!!
Blaming others
Giving blunders like ill health
People are so bad at this they just state hobbies in the resume just for the sake of it, they are not knowing like how they are falling in the pit with an interviewer with this.....OK so you enjoy cricket. Do you know the technical details of the game? How many members are there in the BCCI governing council? The IIM professors do not appreciate mere couch potatoes. Hobbies are not merely for adding spice to your CV. State only 2 hobbies and try to learn everything there is to that hobby. If not be damn sure this will not create a quite a good impression and your selection may get hampered |
Blaming others in the sense blaming the college or the professors at the college for your low scores, According to me one thing is for sure that you are the one who is always responsible for your grades. If you have low scores then don't ever state that your teacher did not clarify the subject or rushed the topic. Do you think studies at IIM's or any MBA institutes are designed to be studied in an easy relaxed spoon fed manner. Wrong the MBA curriculum is a real test of your abilities to stay awake and perform at your best. If you blame your teachers then you are out for sure ppl.... |
According to me in normal interviews i have seen ppl giving blunders like i was not well on that day, if exam days gives one a bad health, then how will one be able to achieve corporate profit targets? Unless if the person is actually physically handicapped one cannot be expected to fall ill under mysterious circumstances whenever pressure builds around them. Even if he/she is truly sick, atleast try to come out with some other reason for your lack of extra curricular activities or low scores. |

Drugs That Interact With Grapefruit on the Rise »
"Nov. 27, 2012 -- The number of drugs that can be risky when taken with grapefruit is on the rise, largely due to the influx of new medications and chemical formulations, a new study shows.
As it stands, there are now more than 85 drug"...

Liposyn III
Liposyn III (intravenous fat emulsion) (intravenous fat emulsion) provides the patient requiring parenteral nutrition with a source of calories and the essential fatty acids normally obtained from a nutritionally complete oral diet. The supplemental polyunsaturated fat prevents biochemical changes of essential fatty acid deficiency (EFAD) and prevents and reverses EFAD clinical manifestations (e.g., scaliness of skin, growth retardation, poor wound healing and sparse hair growth).
The infused fat particles are cleared from the bloodstream in a manner thought to be similar to the clearing of chylomicrons. Following infusion, there is a transient increase in plasma triglycerides. The triglycerides are hydrolyzed to free fatty acids and glycerol by the enzyme, lipoprotein lipase. The free fatty acids either enter the tissues (where they may be oxidized or resynthesized into triglycerides and stored) or circulate in the plasma, bound to albumin. In the liver, circulating free fatty acids are oxidized or converted to very low density lipoproteins that re-enter the bloodstream.
Phosphatides are the hydrophobic components of membranes and provide electrically insulated layers. They are involved in the formation of membrane structures. Choline prevents the deposition of fat in the liver.
Glycerol is metabolized to carbon dioxide and glycogen or is used in the synthesis of body fats.

•Hornets make the attendance benchmark and remain in New Orleans.
Not many signs point toward the Hornets averaging 15,000-plus fans over the next 1½ years to bump their already trailing attendance to the needed figure. Sustained on-court success, however, and a nice showing in the playoffs this year could create a spike in next season's crowd flow.
•Hornets miss the attendance benchmark and return to Oklahoma for the 2009-10 season.
Considering the Sonics' cloudy court case, this scenario isn't far-fetched. What's unclear is how will the NBA act if the Board of Governors approves the Sonics relocation to Oklahoma City but the courts then rule they must stay in Seattle until 2010? Shinn also would have to pay up to $100 million to move from New Orleans.
•Hornets miss the attendance benchmark and move to Kansas City for the 2009-10 season.
K.C. has to be a more likely destination for the Hornets than Oklahoma City considering the Sonics' state of affairs. And the move would make sense since the shiny new Sprint Center is waiting on its first major tenant.
•Hornets miss the attendance benchmark, move to Seattle for the 2009-10 season and the Sonics move to Oklahoma for the same season.
The Sonics could call Oklahoma City home in time for the 2009-10 season if their trial isn't expedited but they receive a favorable ruling from the judge. It's unlikely, however, that Hornets owner George Shinn moves to Seattle and settles for the NBA's worst venue.
•Hornets miss the attendance benchmark and Shinn sells the franchise to Bennett and Co. who then move it to OKC.
Shinn is adamant about retaining his franchise, so he doesn't figure to sell anytime soon. And it doesn't appear that he's losing cash by the minute as some predicted he would in New Orleans, which means he might not be forced to sell.
•Sonics stay in Seattle. Hornets stay in New Orleans. Las Vegas and Oklahoma City are awarded expansion franchises.
NBA Commissioner David Stern has acknowledged that he's not interested in expansion at this point. Not in this country anyway. But Las Vegas is on the NBA's radar, as evidenced by its hosting of last year's All-Star Game. It figures to be only a matter of time before both cities host permanent NBA teams. Why not through expansion?

Not to stiffle innovation, but do you know about the WeMotec line of electric ducted fans (EDFs)? They have several sizes, with rotors of diameters of 50mm, 69mm, 75mm, 89mm, 105mm, and 124mm. You can get some info on these fans at www.electricjetfactory.com. The 3.5" diameter you are looking for would be matched by the WeMotec Midi fan which has a rotor diameter or 89mm which is very close to 3.5 inches. People seem to really like this fan, it's got a fairly high quality construction.
Maybe you are looking to design a fan around a particular motor and RPM range and these wont fit the bill, but you'll probably find with research that these fans offer a wide range of capabilities. There are other 90 mm class fans out there, the Jepe and the Schubler from Europe for instance. All these are what I would call second generation fans. Earlier fans in WeMotec's range were based on the old Kress rotors with lots of pitch and thus needing very high torque motors. These newer designs have slightly less pitch which is more suitable for the high revving motors available. This is based on what I've read in electric magazines over the past several years. If I'm incorrect on some of this others will correct it. Good luck, and keep us updated on your model's progress. You can post pictures directly into your posts, and pictures can be worth a lot in inspiration. |

Hey I know lou, great guy, we fly at the same field RCACF. I saw the fan you are refering to, helped me with my own design of a small glow DF using a norvel .061 engine. Good luck on you design.

If you realy want to use a low cell count wich is a good idea i think, becous the cp-1700 don't have the same density as the cp-2400 it's close tho, you might want to vieuw this baby;
http://www.aero-naut.de/de/800/allg/index2.html Now you have a wel made fan and you only have to figure out the angle of the blades. Wich is what you have to do when u use a low cell count motor. Kimble. |
Nov 28, 2001, 06:34 AM | |
If you are stuck for thrust/watts in numbers then I have produced a series of graphs for all Wemotec fans at www.awatson1.fsnet.co.uk look under the 'fan data' section. I have 3 HW620's and Plettenberg HP220/30 A4 S P3 brushless motors. Cell count is 24 x 2400 but I'm thinking of using 24 x CP1700 to save some weight (or use more cells for the same weight). Keep us informed on your progress... Doc |
Nov 28, 2001, 11:11 PM | |
"To get this part of the hobby into the hands of the other people we need to develope fans that produce a high thrust to cell count ratio"
It has nothing to do with the number of cells. The whole problem is the weight of the battery pack needed to provide the amount of energy required for the power we want for the amount of time we want. NiMH is improving and may offer more runtime with good power in the years to come but lowering the cell count has nothing to do with anything. Ideally you would run a lower current higher voltage system to reduce losses in the wiring and ESC. These losses will be there regardless and will be lower when the system current is lower. For a given runtime and power you can have any number of cells. The cell capacity required would be lower for higher cell count systems. Making 15N of thrust with a 85-95mm fan will require 460-560 shaft watts. There is nothing you can do to lower this. Assume 85% eff for the motor and you need about 590W. 590W / (16 cells*1.1V) = 33.5A. 33.5A with RC2400 will give over 4 minutes of wide open runtime. This isn't all that unreasonable. But adding cells will only make it fly longer. 32 cells will weigh 66+ ounces or 40% of AUW. This would be very good if it can be attained. http://www.aero-naut.de/de/800/flugz...r/impeller.htm This is the link for the Aeronaut fan info. I would stay with Schubeler or Wemotec for best efficiency. Greg |
