Wisdom Is Great!: August 2010
By: Rabbi Zelig Pliskin"Taking Action" - pp. 86-87Artscroll.comAmbition can be powerful. Ambition helps a person mobilize his resources. Ambition enables someone to face challenges and persist. Ambition prevents a person from giving up.A person with a high degree of ambition will be able to accomplish much more than someone with similar intelligence and skills but without ambition.Ambition enables a person to overcome laziness and a tendency to procrastinate. When you have an authentic ambition to excel in a certain area, you will put in the necessary time and energy to gain the knowledge. You will have the energy to practice the skill you want to perfect.Ambition helps you overcome potential obstacles that might get in the way. The stronger your ambition, the less any obstacle can deter you from proceeding.
One day this expert was speaking to a group of business students and, to drive home a point, used an illustration I’m sure those students will never forget. After I share it with you, you’ll never forget it either.As this man stood in front of the group of high-powered over-achievers he said, "Okay, time for a quiz." Then he pulled out a one-gallon, wide-mouthed mason jar and set it on a table in front of him. Then he produced about a dozen fist-sized rocks and carefully placed them, one at a time, into the jar.When the jar was filled to the top and no more rocks would fit inside, he asked, "Is this jar full?" Everyone in the class said, "Yes." Then he said, "Really?" He reached under the table and pulled out a bucket of gravel. Then he dumped some gravel in and shook the jar causing pieces of gravel to work themselves down into the spaces between the big rocks.Then he smiled and asked the group once more, "Is the jar full?" By this time the class was onto him. "Probably not," one of them answered. "Good!" he replied. And he reached under the table and brought out a bucket of sand. He started dumping the sand in and it went into all the spaces left between the rocks and the gravel. Once more he asked the question, "Is this jar full?""No!" the class shouted. Once again he said, "Good!" Then he grabbed a pitcher of water and began to pour it in until the jar was filled to the brim. Then he looked up at the class and asked, "What is the point of this illustration?"One eager beaver raised his hand and said, "The point is, no matter how full your schedule is, if you try really hard, you can always fit some more things into it!""No," the speaker replied, "that’s not the point. The truth this illustration teaches us is: If you don’t put the big rocks in first, you’ll never get them in at all."What are the big rocks in your life? A project that you want to accomplish? Time with your loved ones? Your faith, your education, your finances? A cause? Teaching or mentoring others? Remember to put these Big Rocks in first or you’ll never get them in at all.About the AuthorDr. Stephen Covey is the author of a world best selling book "The Seventh Habits of Highly Effective People."
A major part of the process of achieving success and living the kind of life that you dream of is to give. Many people think that to get what you want you have to take it. There is a universal truth though that the true path to get what you want is to give. When you give, you get. What you sow, you shall reap. If this is true, then what is it we must give? I'll show you the way…1.Give Others Your Honesty. The world we live in has a simple rule that most follow: Lie when you have to. Unfortunately, this may make some people wealthy but it make us humans poor. To achieve success is to become wealthy not only in money, but in character. To be successful, truly successful, is to be able to attain your goals and keep your character at the same time!… How about you? Are you honest in all things? The problem with little lies is they become big ones. Lies spin out of control. You get caught in one lie and you lie to get out of it etc. In all things and at all times, give others your honesty.2.Give Others Your Respect. Most of the time we give people respect based on what they have done or what they have accomplished. We gauge whether or not they are "worthy" of it based on what we know of what they have achieved or who they know or are related to. But I believe we should have a higher standard: We respect people not for what they have done or for who they are related to or for what they can do for us. Instead, we respect people for simply being.…3.Give Others Your Vulnerability. We are taught to "be strong." And yes, we should be strong. But we have also embraced something that I think keeps us from having the kind of life that we long for. It is an idea that keeps us from experiencing the kind of relationships that would bring deep meaning to us. It is the idea of vulnerability.… "But Chris, make yourself vulnerable and people will step all over you!" It is true that this will happen. But I have also seen that most people will be drawn to you. They will help you. They will open up to you. You see, we are all broken people inside. We all have secrets. Yet everyone plays the poser. When one let's down their veil, others soon follow—and we all win.4.Give Others Your Care. Too many people are running around this old earth not caring about others. The days of "Look Out for Number One" and "Winning Through Intimidation" are over! Let's bring about a new day when we can care about others and succeed! Take the time to show people you care. Listen to them. Empathize with them. Love them. Now, I don't mean that you have to go around hugging everyone—that probably wouldn't fly in corporate America anyway—but we can take some time to step back from business and be human! And I have found that when we do so, our business succeeds as well! 5.Give Others Your Passion. There is nothing this world needs more than passionate people. And people need passionate people. Living in this day and age can be tiring. The hustle and bustle of it all can wear you down and tire you out. Give your passion to others and fire them up. Don't just be humdrum—be excited. Give people all the energy you can muster up. And you will find that energy reciprocal. They will get energized and passionate. This in turn will fire you up more when you are already charged and get you going altogether when you don't feel like moving at all!6.Give Others Your Experience. We all have areas that we excel in and they are usually areas that we have experience in. One of the things we can do to make our lives more meaningful and be of utmost help to others is to show them the way through the experiences we have. Sometimes it will be what they should do: Shortcuts to take, people to meet etc. Sometimes it will be what they should not do: Shortcuts not to take and people to stay away from! Whatever it is, we can be of service to others by giving them our experience and ultimately it will make us all better! 7.Give Others Your Help. All in all, what we want to do is to help others. Zig Ziglar says that if we will "help others get what they want, we will in turn get what we want." If we want to be successful, we should consider ourselves servants of other people. What can we do to help them and make them better? This is the true path to greatness and success, not only in business but in life!

East Sussex Wanderer: 2015
I think I read somewhere that globally, chalk landscapes are rare, but growing up in a Brighton suburb on the edge of town, the South Downs around Brighton and Lewes have always been a familiar playground to me.
As an antidote to these endless grey damp days of winter, I think back (and look forward) to those halcyon days of summer, wandering the East Sussex downs under warm blue skies.

A Fascination for Caterpillars
Although caterpillars can be found at anytime of the year, a good time to go searching for them is during August, September and October when I specifically look for maturing larvae of the Hawkmoth (Sphingidae) and Prominent (Notodontidae) families. A walk along woodland rides patiently inspecting sallow, willow and birch can be very rewarding.
Poplar Hawkmoth (Laothoe populi) (mature larva on sallow)
Pebble Prominent (Notodonta ziczac) (mature larva on sallow)
Coxcomb Prominent (Ptilodon capucina) (mature larva on sallow)

A Confusion of Frogs and Toads
Once Christmas is done and dusted, the first sign of spring activity that I start looking for in the new year is the return of frogs, toads and newts to their breeding pools. Anytime from early March I concentrate my efforts on checking wealden lake edges and downland dewponds for signs of their arrival.
Common Toad (Bufo bufo) (mating clasp)
Confusion reigns and male toads will fight each other off in pursuit of a female, resulting in a mass of writhing bodies. The males of both frogs and toads are highly charged during the breeding season which can occasionally lead to some bizarre behaviour amongst the strings of toad spawn.
The following photographs show a male Common Frog (Rana temporaria) in a mating clasp with a female Common Toad (Bufo bufo). These species are not closely enough related to produce hybrid offspring and the spawn being laid by the toad was destined to remain unfertilised.

Lakes, Moats and Millponds
My wife and I have been National Trust members for some years now. The Trust owns large tracts of countryside and coastal strip which can be a haven for wildlife and many of their properties also have lakes, moats and millponds which provide a home for many species. Whilst I enjoy looking around historic buildings, I am invariably drawn to the gardens to check out the waterscapes.
Batemans at Burwash is our nearest Trust property and I usually call in on my way back from anywhere to sit by Kipling's boating pond and watch for insects.

The Purple Hairstreak (Quercusia quercus) is a little gem of a butterfly and well worth seeking out in mixed woodland containing plenty of oak, its only foodplant. Although a fairly common species in Sussex, it is largely a canopy dweller which makes it tricky to see at close quarters but with plenty of patient hours in the field and a knowledge of its life cycle and behaviour, you can see this beauty up close.

Magical Metamorphosis (part 1)
In late summer I noticed a Green-veined White (Pieris napi) laying her ova on a garlic mustard plant in my garden. I monitored the progress of the resulting larvae and on 18th October I located a larva preparing to pupate.
The larva has attached itself in an upright position by a silk girdle.
Two days later the larval skin splits open behind the head.
The skin is shed downwards as the pupa emerges.
The pupal wing cases are exposed.
The moult is completed in a few minutes....
....and the moulted skin is jettisoned.
Three hours later the pupal membrane has hardened.
After two days the pupa has adopted its final colouring.

Ashdown Forest (part 2)
Ashdown Forest is a good place to see dragonfly and damselfly species that have a preference for breeding in the acid pools, bogs and streams that are found there.
The stunning Brilliant Emerald (Somatochlora metallica) is a nationally rare dragonfly which has a curious distribution in the UK, only occurring in SE England and NW Scotland. The photographs show an immature female. As she matures, the amber tint in her wings will fade and her eyes will turn green.

Ashdown Forest (part 1)
Another of my favourite haunts is Ashdown Forest. Its heathland landscape with acid bogs and pools is home to many creatures that thrive in this special habitat. The Silver-studded Blue (Plebejus argus) is one such heathland specialist that occurs in small populations here and I can spend many an hour looking for and watching this pretty butterfly.
Silver-studded Blue (P.argus) (mating)
The Raft Spider (Dolomedes fimbriatus) is a close relative of the Fen Raft Spider (D.plantarius) but seems to prefer rather different habitat conditions (at least in East Sussex). It appears to thrive in some of the acid pools found on Ashdown Forest. This female (below) is on the hunt and using her submerged legs to feel for the vibrations of approaching prey.
The Early Marsh Orchid (Dactylorhiza incarnata) occurs sparsely on Ashdown Forest. The subspecies that occurs here (ssp.pulchella) is associated with sphagnum bogs.

Dragons and Damsels on Pevensey Levels
Outside, the rain looks set-in for the day and as autumn inevitably moves towards winter, it is nice to look back on some of my highlights of spring and summer. Coastal flats are a great habitat for dragonflies and damselflies and Pevensey Levels is a good place to watch them.
Variable Damselfly (Coenagrion pulchellum) (male)

Riverside and Pioneer would be the ones to start with. I played a lot of $3 at the Riverside. Pioneer used to have a lot but had just one $3 table when I was there last July. Both had pretty liberal rules as well.

(Redirected from Osama bin Laden's Abbottabad compound)
One of the main builders of the compound, Gul Mohammed, was instructed to construct the 5.5-metre (18 ft)[5] high perimeter fence and then to build another wall 7 feet (2.1 m) tall around one of the dwellings. He was suspicious due to the activities of his men, and when he asked why he was asked to build huge fort-like walls, he was told it was none of his business.[30] According to Mohammed, one or two men came to supervise his work and that they were not restrictive with their money.[30] He was told to refer to the main occupant of the household as "The Master", even though he never met him.[30]

Grama's Gourds and Primitives L. Akin: Time gets away from Us!
I am sorry I have been missing in action. Life gets in the way sometimes of the things that we love so much. I haven't been much of a painter lately. I did get my submision in for Create and Decorate on time. Now I am trying to beat another deadline, I have till October 1st. I was searching google with my name and low and behold there were many spots mentioning my name. I almost feel guilty because I have been away so long. Sometimes we just have to focus on our passion and go with it no matter what anyone says. I have just lost my focus always trying to please others and not following my passion. Here lately there have been many reminders of what my passion is and to follow it well here I am trying to get back on track. Thank you all for supporting me and reading my blog. It means so much to me. Never let go of your dreams, they were instilled in us for a reason. Thanks again.

Memorial Day – Short Story Scribe
Today I have taken several moments to pause, honor, remember and reflect on my brothers and sisters in arms who made the ultimate sacrifice, some who I knew, most who I did not, and all with whom an unspoken bond is shared.
I am former Navy, my first port visit was Pearl Harbor. It was then I saluted her flag and first set foot above the USS Arizona. About a year later, I ended up stationed on Oahu; allowing many more visits to The Memorial. On Memorial Day, thoughts return there and to those who make their final resting place forever aboard her.
Thank you to all who made the ultimate sacrifice and thank you to those who one day may be called upon to make that same sacrifice.
You are not, nor ever will be, forgotten.

Boycott 2008 Communist Olympics: China: Reminders of Tiananmen Square
UNPO: Wednesday, 26 March 2008
Human Rights Without Frontiers calls on world leaders to boycott the opening ceremony as Beijing continues to flaunt its citizens’ rights.
Below is an article published by Human Rights Without Frontiers:
At the moment when the US inexplicably dropped China from its list of worst human rights violators, the country which hosts this summer's Olympics began spilling the blood of unarmed Tibetan Buddhists.
Violent repression started five days after peaceful protests began in memory of the anniversary of a 1959 rebellion against Chinese rule. Response to violence has produced the worst unrest in Lhasa in two decades. Whether the victims number 10, 80, 100 or more, China’s resort to violence shows once again that Chinese leaders have not abandoned the methods of the 1989 Tiananmen Square massacre as they crush and silence peaceful social protest.
Failing to address legitimate long-simmering resentment, Beijing prefers to pursue cultural genocide in Tibet, while canting its sclerotic rhetoric representing peaceful demonstrations as riots "organized, premeditated and masterminded by the Dalai Lama clique." The Chinese-installed head of Tibet's government claims a "plot of separatists" that "will fail." Three days after the first victims fell in Lhasa, violence spread into neighboring Sichuan, Qinghai and Western Gansu provinces, all home to sizable Tibetan populations.
Just days before monks began protesting in Tibet, Chinese media began accusing Muslim Uyghurs in the Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous Region (XUAR) of masterminding a "separatist terrorist" plot to hijack a plane flying from their capital city Urumchi to Beijing. Beijing's incessant campaign of repression and cultural genocide against Tibetans and Uyghurs reveals uncontrolled anti-separatist paranoia.
On the eve of the Olympics, accumulating consequences of Beijing's incessant human rights failures besiege it, revealing gaping cracks of hypocrisy in its wall of pretended social harmony.
Chinese authorities make promises that they do not keep.
In 2001 the International Olympic Committee awarded the 2008 Olympic Games to Beijing, because the Beijing bidding committee pledged that hosting of the Games would "help the development of human rights." The Beijing committee also pledged "there will be no restrictions on media reporting and movement of journalists up to and including the Olympic Games." On December 18, 2007 a conference at the European Parliament ended with a conclusion by twelve European human rights NGOs, six parliamentarians and four Sakharov Prize laureates that China had not made any substantial progress in its human rights record. Their declaration: "Human rights in China 2001-2007: No Olympic Medal."
If freedom of expression is promised to foreign journalists before and during the Olympics, Chinese journalists will not enjoy the same "privilege." They remain under threat of censorship and repression. Further, the temporary "freedom" granted to foreign media risks to be theoretical, as Beijing is rapidly placing human rights defenders, lawyers, trade-unionists and environmental activists in prison or otherwise making them "inaccessible" for interview by European journalists.
As with minorities, so for ordinary citizens, Beijing's answer to criticism stays the same: brutal repression.
Assault, intimidation, harassment and politicized prosecution of rights defenders intensify, even while China promises June 2008 implementation of protective provisions in the amended "Lawyers Law of the People's Republic of China." Arrest and imprisonment of Gao Zhisheng, a close friend of the vice-president of the European Parliament Edward McMillan-Scott, and other well-known lawyers undermine the rule of law and intimidate their colleagues. Li Heping, Christian lawyer based in Beijing and defender of political dissidents, human rights defenders and believers, was barred from representing jailed human rights advocate Qiao Yanbing. Then in autumn 2007, […] his family [was] threatened by unidentified people who afterwards presented themselves as security officers.
Blind human rights lawyer Chen Guangcheng was sentenced to four years and three months in jail for speaking against coercive family planning practices in Shandong Province. In March of this year [2008] his lawyer, Teng Biao, was […] missing for days before being released by police.
Another victim of pre-Olympic repression, environmental activist Hu Jia, was arrested at the end of December [2007], accused of "subverting state authority," an oft-used charge against dissidents.
World-record holding marathoner Haile Gebrselassie has said he might skip the Games because of the high level of pollution in Beijing. Steven Spielberg ended his involvement as an artistic advisor for the opening and closing ceremonies, citing Beijing's support for the genocidal regime in Khartoum. Prince Charles of Britain declared he would not attend the Games.
Human Rights Without Frontiers International calls upon Heads of State, Prime Ministers, Royal Families, Heads of the European Institutions, Members of the European and national Parliaments to ignore invitations from Beijing to attend the Games and to refuse to sit next to a president and ministers who are responsible for the latest bloodshed in Tibet, the torture of Falun Gong practitioners, the detention of human rights activists, the murderous one-child policy, and the execution of North Korean refugees forcibly repatriated to their country.

Can you help me? I'm looking to find a petition on-line to boycott the opening ceremonies of the Olympics in support of the Chinese, Tibetan, Burmese, and Darfuri people. Where can I find one to sign up?
I didn't know there was one...

Goodwill Ambassador Eliana Benador: BENADOR: The Power of God and The Jews Throughout History
“The Lord is my shepherd I shall not want... Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil; for you are with me; your rod and your staff comfort me...” Psalm 23, King David of Israel
The first thought would be, nothing is nothing... But, is it truly...?
Isaac Newton was the father of Calculus which he discovered during 1665-1667 and is best known for his contribution in the Physics, however, warned that mathematicians are and always will be unable to reach the number zero, or nothing....
“One fine day, King Ahasuerus of Persia held a huge banquet for everyone in his kingdom. When Ahasuerus was drunk, he ordered his wife, Queen Vashti, to appear at the banquet wearing her beautiful crown. (Some commentators suggest that this meant that she should wear only her crown...) But Vashti refused. As punishment for Vashti’s disobedience, King Ahasuerus banished her from the palace. To choose a new queen, the king called for a beauty pageant and chose Esther. He married her. She kept her Jewish identity a secret on the advice of Mordecai, her uncle and a very important and influential personality in the Jewish community.
As G-d would want it, this story happens in Shushan, a province of Iran, in 486-465 BCE. The Book of Esther is a book in the Ketuvim ("writings"), the third section of the Jewish Tanakh. Tanakh is an acronym formed from the initial Hebrew letters of the three traditional subdivisions: The Torah ("Teaching", also known as the Five Books of Moses), Nevi'im ("Prophets") and Ketuvim ("Writings")—henceTaNaKh.
Beyond Iran as well...
Chillul Hashem: The source for this commandment in Judaism, is to be found in the Book of Vayikra or Leviticus 22:32: "And you shall not profane My holy name; but I will be hallowed among the children of Israel: I am the Lord who hallows you.”
Therefore, this commandment warns the Jews not to bring dishonour or shame to God's name by an action or by a lack of action. It includes any behavior or action that disgraces, harms or shames God and his Law, all of which is regarded as "desecration of God's name."
Kiddush Hashem is the duty of Jews to sanctify God's name (Hebrew kiddush Hashem.) It means any action that brings honor, respect, and glory to God. It is usually expressed as: “To sanctify His Name” and conversely “Not to profane His Name,” both appear on Vayikra or Leviticus 22:32. Thus Kiddush Hashem is the obligation a Jew has to act and behave in a way that brings honor, respect, and glory to God and is aimed at hallowing His name
Yes, Queen Esther saved her people, and King Ahasuerus of Persia “granted permission to the Jews of every city in his country to organize themselves; to destroy, to slay and to exterminate every armed force of any people or province that threaten them... on one day in all the provinces... upon the thirteenth of the twelve month, of Adar...”
But, the world should not be mistaken. While many seemingly powerful cultures have disappeared as a result of their licentiousness throughout history, the Jews have survived until now -thanks to the righteous Jews who abide by the laws of God.
And G-d has always answered.

Extremely light, with canal view - 阿姆斯特丹的公寓 出租, Noord-Holland, 荷兰
一个舒适的地方,建于1930年,所有的原始细节,如彩色玻璃和美丽的木地板!在一个伟大的人口稠密地区(baarsjes)与许多漂亮的商店和酒吧/餐馆。包括两辆自行车,距离水坝广场10分钟。
明亮,清洁,温暖,许多原始细节和伟大的运河景观。公寓位于一楼,所以只有一个楼梯。非常轻,因为大窗(位于南部)。
Light, clean, warm, lots of original details and a great canal view. The apartment is situated on the first floor, so only one stair to take. Extremely light because of the big windows (situated on the south).
每个房间都有,总共60平方米。房子前面的阳台(位于南部)。从阳台上可以看到运河的美景。
Every room is available, a total of 60 m2 meters. Balcony on the front site of the house (situated on the south). From the balcony you have a lovely view over the canal.
我有两辆自行车,这些都是完全可以使用的。
I have two bikes, these are fully at your disposal.
Wonderful flat perfect for a couple. We had an amazing stay. Rob answered all our questions and was a great host. Definitely will stay here again if ever back in Amsterdam.
Rob was an incredibly wonderful and thoughtful host. He sent extremely detailed instructions and maps to get to his place as well as clear directions on how to enter the home easily... And he sent them more than a month before our trip which was helpful with planning. The home is beautifully renovated with charming details. The location near the metro made it accessible to everywhere in the city. The bed was very comfortable! The outdoor balcony with view of the canal was definitely a bonus. Amsterdam is our new favorite city ... Beautiful culture and beautiful people... Rob was one of those people who helped make our experience great !! We didn't want to leave! Thank you for the hospitality!
After staying at Rob's apartment, I know for a fact that I'm going to move to Amsterdam someday. His place is so beautiful and renovated really nicely. It has great character and you can tell he really cares about his apartment. I immediately felt at home when I stepped through the door. The bedroom is amazing and has a patio area, not to mention the awesome/giant palm tree in the corner of the room! He left us a little welcome gift on the kitchen table, which was so sweet. Rob is a fantastic and thoughtful host, and so thorough. He emailed me the instructions about where to pick up keys and basically anything and everything I needed to know during my stay, and also had a copy in the apartment. He left us two bikes but unfortunately we didn't get to use them but couldn't think of a better way to experience Amsterdam! Rob was very nice and friendly in all the interactions I had with him. We didn't get to meet as he was traveling during the time, but I would recommend his apartment to everyone. :)
This is a great apartment. Light and airy with comfortable bed. Away from the madding crowds of the centre but so close by trams to everything. Supermarket very close. Rob is very easy and quick to communicate with.
Sehr schönes,sauberes Apartment. Gute Küche und Ausstattung, es fehlte uns nichts. Wir hatten ein paar entspannte Tage dort,die Abwicklung und Kommunikation mit dem Gastgeber verlief unkompliziert und sehr nett. Wir waren schon oft in Amsterdam, doch dieses Mal war der Aufenthalt noch schöner, da wir echt nett gewohnt haben. Wir kommen auf jeden Fall wieder!
我随时可以通过电话帮助您解决问题。
I'm always available by phone to assist you with every question.

ADDICTED TO GENRE BENDING: An Interview with Debra St. John and a Contest!
An Interview with Debra St. John and a Contest!
Please welcome Debra St. John to my blog today!
Debra: I guess my childhood was ordinary. I grew up in the Chicago suburbs (several of them) with my Mom and Dad and my younger sister. My favorite childhood memory is sitting on my mom's lap and listening to her read Dr. Seuss to me. To this day, he remains one of my favorite authors.
Alisha: Tell us about the hero and heroine in your latest release.
Debra: My next release (due out sometime in 2009) is called "Wild Wedding Weekend". The hero, Noah Grant, is an adventurer who doesn't like to sit still and has no intention of ever settling down. Of course, then along comes Abby Walker, who wants the white-picket-fence-around-the-yard-with-2.3-kids-in-the-house American dream. In a strange quirk of fate they wind up married. The chaos, romance, and excitement that results changes both of their lives forever.
Alisha: If you were granted three wishes by a genie, what would they be?
Debra: Contentment, more time to do the things I like and be with the people I love, and enough money to pay off my debt.
Debra: Disney World. I haven't been there in forever, and it IS the happiest place on Earth! (Of course this is cheating a bit, since I have a trip planned for February, but I'm antsy!)
Debra: I would choose my wonderful hubby and then five of our closest friends (no kids!), so we could hang out under the sun and stars and not have to worry about anything else for an entire week.
Alisha: That sounds WONDERFUL! What word or phrase tingles in all the right places for you?
Debra: John Deere
Alisha: LOL! If you had one day to spoil yourself, what would you do?
Debra: I'd sleep in, then hang out in my jammies for a while while I ate a lesiurely breakfast out on the back porch. I'd curl up with a good book (one that I've read a million times before but just can't get enough of). Later I would get my hair and nails done, get all dressed up, and have my hubby take me out to a nice restaurant for dinner. When we got home we'd snuggle up on the couch with a good movie.
Alisha: That would be a perfect day in my book too! What’s the most romantic thing a man has ever done for you or said to you or both?
Debra: My husband actually got down on one knee when he asked me to marry him. My engagement ring is a stone that's been in his family for generations. And he asked my dad's blessing/permission first. Very old fashioned and romantic. *sigh*
Alisha: Double sigh!!! Thanks for being my guest of honor today, Debra!
CONTEST: LEAVE A COMMENT FOR DEBRA AND YOU'LL BE ENTERED INTO A DRAWING FOR A PDF OF "THIS TIME FOR ALWAYS"!
Excerpt from THIS TIME FOR ALWAYS
Logan’s strong arm encircled her waist, preventing her from falling. Sharlie caught her breath as her body pressed against him. She raised her eyes to his.
The anger in his eyes turned to awareness. His breath hitched. The temperature in the tiny room rose.
Logan’s gaze roamed every inch of her face, finally coming to rest on her lips.
Her pulse quickened, the beat thundering in her ears. They were so close she could feel the cadence of his heart. She sucked in a gasp of air.
His gaze met hers again. “I’ve tried to stop thinking about you like this. But I can’t.”
Sharlie licked dry lips, then cursed inwardly when the action drew his attention there once more. His head lowered.
“Don’t,” she managed.
“Don’t what?” Logan’s warm breath caressed her cheek.
“Because I don’t want you to.” Even to her own ears the protest sounded weak.
“Liar,” Logan taunted.
“Please,” she tried one last time, shaking her head in a vain attempt to deny the feelings coursing through her.
Logan cupped the back of her head, stilling the motion.. “I have to.” His words melted into a kiss as their lips met.
The gentle insistence of his mouth coaxed a response from her. Her lips parted, allowing the kiss to deepen. Their breath mingled.. The moist heat made her knees buckle.
“Don’t you remember?” Logan’s husky voice whispered, as his lips left hers to trail down the column of her throat. “Remember how good it was,” he murmured before his mouth captured hers once again.
Excerpt from WILD WEDDING WEEKDEND
Abby had no thoughts of moving even the slightest bit away. She wrapped her arms around him as the tip of his tongue teased the fullness of her bottom lip. When she opened to him and he dipped inside, she almost melted from the instant flood of liquid heat that suffused her body.. The warmth spread to her limbs and made her pliant as, his mouth never leaving hers, Noah lowered them both to the bed.
Pant, pant...wonderful excerpts, Debra! Thanks for the treat! ~Alisha

An airbag arrangement and method includes an airbag module, which has a module housing and an airbag. The airbag is arranged so that it sequentially unfolds in various directions so that it ultimately becomes positioned in front of the passenger. The airbag has two sections, a first chamber and a second chamber. The first chamber inflates first and is forced to travel substantially laterally along the dashboard toward the A-frame, and rests there or the windshield or both. The airbag is twistingly connected relative to the housing so that as the first chamber inflates, it rests against the windshield or the A-frame and applies a torque thereagainst to stably position the first chamber. The first chamber becomes substantially centered about the front seat. Thereafter, the second chamber inflates toward the seat or the passenger seated therein.
This is a continuation of International Application PCT/DE99/04030, with an international filing date of Dec. 10, 1999.
In this regard, a German patent publication, DE 196 24 371 Al, discloses an airbag module fitted in the center console of the vehicle. An airbag is design to deploy essentially transversely with respect to the vehicle travel direction. This is disadvantageous in that the front passenger can be struck from the side or that the airbag may not be placed in its intended protective position, namely in front of the passenger.
U.S. Patent No. 5,575,497 discloses an airbag module arranged on the backrest of a vehicle seat. The airbag module has two airbags that are connected to each other via valves. When the airbag module activates, one of the two airbag deploys. This airbag is positioned between the occupant and the side door. When the deployed airbag reaches a certain pressure, its valves open to deploy the other airbag transversely across the occupant. Even with this arrangement, there is the risk of the later deploying airbag striking the side of the occupant or that the airbag may not be placed in its intended position, namely in front of the passenger. [0005] Accordingly, there is a need for an airbag module that reliably deploys the airbag from the front of the occupant. The present invention addresses this need.
The present invention relates to an airbag module designed to deploy its airbag component in front of the occupant. One aspect of the present invention relates to an airbag module, another one to an airbag arrangement, and another one to a method of deploying an airbag.
The airbag arrangement and the method can include the airbag module according to the present invention. In this respect, the airbag module includes a module housing, an airbag, and a gas generator. The housing can have a connection opening. The airbag can also have a connection opening. The airbag is connected to the housing with the connection openings aligned with each other. The airbag can have a first chamber, a second chamber separated from the first chamber by a separation line, and an overflow opening communicating the first and second chambers. The gas generator can supply gas to the airbag via the connection openings.
The airbag connection opening is provided on one side of the first chamber and the overflow opening is provided on an opposite side of the first chamber. When the airbag deploys, the separation line between the first and second chambers is positioned substantially transversely with respect to a longitudinal axis of the vehicle. The airbag is twisted about the module housing, substantially about an axis of the housing connection opening so that as the first chamber inflates, the first chamber rests against a vehicle part and applies or generates a torque against which the first chamber can be stably positioned. The second chamber expands in front of and toward a vehicle seat or the occupant after the first chamber has been stably positioned.
The first chamber is shorter and smaller than the second chamber. The smaller chamber can be a separate pocket provided in the airbag. The pocket can be connected to opposite sides of the airbag at at least one point on each side via seams or catch straps. The airbag has a lower panel and an upper panel connected to each other with a circumferential seam. The lower panel can have the airbag connection opening that connects the airbag to the module housing. The pocket can be attached to the circumferential seam and can be connected in a central region in a curved manner to the lower and upper panels. The airbag can be rectangular and can have rounded comers in an unfolded, non-inflated state.
The airbag can be configured to deploy in three sequential phases, which comprises a) a first phase in which the airbag deploys vertically out of the housing connection opening, b) a second phase in which the airbag deploys substantially laterally, and c) a third phase in which the airbag deploys rearwardly, toward the passenger.
The module housing can be cup-shaped for accommodating the airbag in a folded, uninflated state, and can be arranged under a vehicle dashboard, into which the gas generator protrudes from below.
The airbag arrangement and the method can include the above features of the airbag module. The airbag module can be arranged along a center of a vehicle dashboard, and the housing connecting opening can be located on the upper side of the dashboard facing the center of the vehicle, and the overflow opening can be provided on a side of the airbag facing the right-hand side of the vehicle. The airbag in an unfolded, non-inflated position can extend obliquely in the direction of a front passenger.
The airbag can be folded and positioned inside the housing with the airbag connection opening downward, and the first and second chambers tucked inside the housing, and the rest of the airbag lying thereover in the housing.
The airbag is twisted about 45°with respect to the longitudinal axis of the vehicle. The vehicle part can be a windshield or an A-pillar of the vehicle.
The method can comprise providing the airbag module, providing the airbag connection opening on one side of the first chamber and the overflow opening on an opposite side of the first chamber, placing the separation line between the first and second chambers substantially transversely with respect to a longitudinal axis of the vehicle, connecting the airbag twisted about the module housing, substantially about an axis of the housing connection opening so that as the first chamber inflates, the first chamber rests against a vehicle part and generates or applies a torque against which the first chamber is stably positioned, and inflating the second chamber after the first chamber has been stably positioned.
The method can also comprise providing the airbag module, providing the connection opening on one side of the first chamber and the overflow opening on an opposite side of the first chamber, substantially vertically moving the airbag out of the housing to a substantially horizontally oriented opening formed in a dashboard of the vehicle, substantially laterally moving, e.g., toward the A-pillar, the first and second chambers by inflating the first chamber, and moving the second chamber toward a vehicle seat by inflating the second chamber via the overflow opening.

[0027]FIGS. 9a-h show different shapes of the airbag housing according to the present invention.
[0028]FIG. 1 schematically illustrates a front passenger 4 in a motor vehicle, with a front passenger airbag module activated to deploy its airbag 1 in front of the passenger 4. In this embodiment, the airbag module, together with its airbag 1, is arranged under the front dashboard 2, in the center of the vehicle. The connecting point of the airbag with a module housing 16 can be located on the upper side of the dashboard 2. The dashboard 2 has a substantially horizontally oriented outlet opening 3 on the upper side of the dashboard 2 at the center of the vehicle. This outlet opening 3 is situated on the front left of the front passenger 4. A conventional front airbag would deploy essentially left and upwardly next to the front passenger 4, and thus could not provide sufficient protection for the front passenger during a frontal impact. Because the airbag module is installed in the center of the dashboard, the space below the dashboard in the region of the glove compartment is free for other uses.
In the embodiment of FIG. 1, the airbag module is arranged so that, in spite of the location and orientation of the outlet opening 3, the airbag 1 deploys in front of, toward the passenger. The arrow shows that the airbag deploys sequentially in three phases. In the first phase, the airbag deploys substantially upwardly, out of the housing to the opening 3. In the second phase, it deploys out of the opening 3, substantially laterally or transversely (relative to the vehicle), substantially along the windshield 6, toward the front-passenger side A-pillar 5 of the vehicle. This positions the airbag in front of the front passenger, symmetrically with respect to the front passenger's centerline S. See FIG. 3.3. In the third phase, after the airbag has been centered on the front passenger, it deploys toward the front passenger 4.
[0030]FIG. 2.1 schematically illustrates an unfolded airbag 1 (illustrated as slightly filled for better illustration thereof). This airbag 1 comprises a lower fabric panel 7 and an upper fabric panel 8 connected to each other, such as with a circumferential seam 9. The airbag 1 further includes a single-piece pocket 10 therewithin, which is the part of the airbag deploying in the second phase, i.e., along the windshield 6. See FIGS. 3.1-3.4. This pocket 10 is sewn with the lower and upper panels 7, 8, along a portion of the circumferential seam 9. The pocket 10 is furthermore connected in about its central region to the lower panel 7 and the upper panel 8 by respective seams 11 and 12 or catch straps, which run in a curved manner. See FIGS. 2.1-2.2. This pocket is thus connected to the opposite sides of the airbag, at at least one point on each side. These seams 11, 12 restrict the expansion of the pocket 10 and of the airbag 1 in the vertical direction to allow the airbag to stably rest flatly on the dashboard 2. The front edge 13 of the pocket 10 runs substantially transversely with respect to the front passenger 4 before the third phase begins. See FIG. 3.3. In this airbag arrangement, the opening connecting the airbag to the module is provided in the region of the lower panel 7.
The pocket 10 forms a first, smaller chamber that is shorter transversely with respect to the front edge 13 than a second chamber 14, which is formed by the remaining region of the airbag. It is expedient for the first chamber 10 to be shorter and therefore smaller transversely with respect to the separation line than the second chamber 14. As a result, in an early phase, the airbag can predominantly deploy transversely with respect to the passenger, enabling the rest of the airbag to be brought into the position required in the event of a crash. A connecting or inflow opening 15 for binding the airbag 1 to a module housing 16 (see FIG. 5.1) is provided in the first chamber 10, on a side facing the center of the vehicle. An overflow opening 17 to the second chamber 14 is provided on the opposite side of the first chamber 10, which side faces the right-hand side of the vehicle. In addition, a further overflow opening 27 for relieving the load of the first chamber 10 can be located on the side facing the center of the vehicle. In the present case, the connection opening 15 can be rectangular with rounded comers. The longitudinal axis B of the inflow opening 15 is positioned about 450 clockwise with respect to a longitudinal axis A of the airbag, which axis A extends substantially parallel to the longitudinal axis of the vehicle after the airbag 1 is deployed, and also with respect to the longitudinal axis C of a connection opening 18 (see FIG. 3.1) on the module housing 16.
When the airbag is installed at the connection opening 18, the airbag becomes twisted or rotated about 45° clockwise so that the two openings 15 and 18 are aligned with each other. Because of this twisting, the airbag extends obliquely in the direction of the front passenger in an unfolded, non-inflated position.
After igniting the gas generator 26, the airbag 1 initially deploys upwardly out of the dashboard, as is illustrated in FIG. 3.1. The angle X° between the front edge of the pocket 10 and the inflow opening 15 corresponds to that of the unused airbag of FIG. 2.2. In the second phase, gas continues to flow into the pocket 10, so that it is filled beginning from the center of the vehicle toward the A-pillar 5, i.e., substantially transversely with respect to the front passenger 4. As the pocket 10 expands against a supporting force k at the windshield 6, a torque M is produced on the airbag mount in the region of the connection opening 15. The torque M rotates the airbag 1 so that folds F form, as is illustrated in FIG. 3.2.
Subsequently, the larger part of the airbag 1, which predominantly comprises the chamber 14, is filled in the direction of the front passenger 4 via the overflow opening 17 (see FIG. 3.3). In the process, the supporting forces k at the windshield 6 continue to rise until the torque M rotates the airbag at the airbag mount in the region of the connection opening 15 through 45° (FIG. 3.4), so that there is now an angle of X+45° between the longitudinal axis C of the module-housing connection and the front edge 13 of the pocket 10. During the further deployment, increasingly larger folds F appear in the airbag at the airbag mount.
From FIGS. 3.3 and 3.4 it can be seen that in spite of the asymmetrical position of the connection opening 15 with respect to the central line S of the front passenger, the airbag 1 is positioned substantially symmetrically with respect to the front passenger, so that the airbag subsequently deploys in the direction of the lap of the front passenger 4.
This deployment can be assisted through certain extent by a folding pattern of the airbag. The folding package is realized here in three parts. As can be seen from FIGS. 4.1 and 4.2, a first part 23 of the unfolded airbag 1 is tucked in under a second part 24 as it is placed into the folding apparatus, which is equipped with slides 19, 20, 21. These two parts 23, 24 essentially form the pocket 10 and the second chamber 14 of the airbag 1. The airbag 1 is then pushed together to the width of the module with the slides 19 and 20, as can be seen from FIGS. 4.3 and 4.4. The airbag is subsequently pressed into the module with the slide 21 and a punch 22, as is illustrated in FIGS. 4.5 and 4.6. Finally, the third part 25 is folded onto the part of the airbag that has already been stowed.
The position of the folded airbag 1 in the module housing 16 can be seen from FIGS. 5.1 and 5.2. In the module housing 16, a tubular gas generator 26 stands on one side. The first part 23 substantially lies next to the tubular gas generator 26 and the second part 24 lies above the first part, likewise next to the tubular gas generator 26. The third part 25, which also extends above the tubular gas generator 26, lies over the second part.
After the gas generator is ignited, the third part 25 deploys upwardly out of the dashboard, subsequently, the second part 24, which is essentially formed by the pocket 10, deploys, and finally, the first part 23, which essentially constitutes the second chamber 14, deploys, in this sequence. The deployment trajectory aimed according to the invention is further optimized by the use of this folding arrangement.
[0039]FIG. 6 illustrates another embodiment of an airbag module 27, which is arranged in the seat back 28, for a front passenger. The same embodiment is also possible for the driver's side.
[0040]FIG. 7 illustrates another embodiment of an airbag module 30, which is arranged in the in a vehicle door 29, for a front passenger. The same embodiment is also possible for the driver's side.
[0041]FIGS. 8a to 8 c illustrate three different embodiments of the airbag module in side views. A rectangular module housing 31 and 32, which have different heightwidth ratios, can be seen in each case. A respective tubular gas generator 33 is assigned at different points to these module housings.
[0042]FIGS. 9a to 9 h illustrate airbag modules in plan view. The different shapes of the module housing 34 and the different assignment of the tubular gas generator 33 can be seen.
According to the present invention, the airbag can be manipulated to deploy toward the passenger, namely by sequentially deploying various parts of the airbag, in a number of different directions, at different times. Even when the airbag is arranged not directly in front of the passenger, reliable deployment in the direction of the passenger to be protected is ensured.
The effect achieved by this arrangement of the airbag module is that the airbag is deployed first in the direction of the axis of the connection opening. If this axis does not run transversely with respect to the occupant, in the second deployment phase, the airbag is deployed transversely with respect to the passenger and with respect to the longitudinal axis of the vehicle because of the separation essentially running transversely. The arrangement according to the invention applies a torque to the first chamber by means of which the airbag can be reliably brought into the position for protecting the passenger. In a third deployment phase, the gas then enters into the second chamber through the overflow opening, with the result that the airbag is deployed in the direction of the front seat or the passenger. The final deployment takes place from the front of the passenger, so that there is no risk of the airbag striking the passenger sideways.
