So the hosts were lovely, breakfast was more than we expected, tho room is well appointed, clean & comfortable for us. The bed was comfortable too. Well worth the stay & good value too. Thanks Shirley-Ann!
The place is as per described and very cosy on winter night. I enjoyed my stay

10 of 11 people found the following review helpfulDon't waste a moment more. Order this book while they last.
At last. In one place. With examples. With clear guidelines. The Book.This is the best of it's kind. A book to explain and inspire great direct mail composition. If you could only buy one book, buy this one. There are several very fine books on direct mail. Hershell Gordon Lewis has written several of them. Hodgson has a book which is easier to read and see how to apply the principles than any other single book. Short sentences - with snap, crackle and pop --- profusely illustrated with classic examples. No ponderous hair splitting and cutting down to the finest points. Here are the basics, the beginnings, the endings, the Post Scripts, the greetings ( salutations for the intellectuals) and the rest of it. You can see the pieces apart, and in the letters see how somebody put them together. No extra verbage. Good solid hard biting skills build from reading and rereading and appreciating the creative spirits of the best. Told plainly enough for even an engineer like me to use [ Engineer's definition of a sentence -- It starts with a big letter and ends with a period.]
6 of 7 people found the following review helpfulIs "The Greatest Direct Mail Salesletters Of All Time" the greatest letter swipe book ever?
In this video I compare and contrast "The Greatest Direct Mail Salesletters Of All Time" with Million Dollar Mailings. Both are excellent resources and cover some of the same territory, but differences in presentation and focus makes each a unique resource. Which one you buy or which you buy first will be a matter of what you're looking for and the type of mailing or salesletters you need to create.
3 of 3 people found the following review helpfulOrder this book if you are serious about writing direct response sales copy
This was the first printed book I've come across that lists a compilation of actual sales letters and then breaks down the history behind the letters and why they worked. Worth every penny. The one disappointment is it is just the sales letters. Not the envelope copy. Not the lift notes. Still, if your focus is writing great sales letters you must own this book. The second guide you MUST own is Million Dollar Mailings by Dension Hatch. Million Dollar Mailings breaks down not just sales letters, but shows lift notes, envelope copy and a history of many of the copywriters and their designers. Find an older copy if you can get it. The newer copies omit contact details of designers, if you need that. Because of the cost I held back in ordering for years, since I had not first seen the contents. But a few months ago I bought both of these from Amazon. A direct mail package I wrote for a client based on what I learned from studying these two is slated to earn potentially $40+ million for the franchise client (I should have charged a copywriting royalty :p). Not a bad investment I'd say.
5 of 7 people found the following review helpfulOne of the best book I've ever read on this subject
This book answered all of the questions that I had. It includes formulas from the greatest writers of all time, reviews of their work, and analyses of what they did and how they did it. The best.
Great book there.

Indian Drama Queen: Just Another Fight
THIS VERY COMMON SIMPLE SCENARIO MAKES ME WISH..."I wish i were a guy"
Every hot-blooded guy would have come across this atleast one time in his life unless he is a Gay or a real loser..
One kinda popular guy of a group comes outta nowhere all hurt and bruised...he calls up one of his "hot-blooded"friends and says "I was beaten man by this 4 guys...x.y.z.and a"
This friend become the "saviors" and declare a "war" against the "x,y,z and a"...Somehow the "x,y,z and a" come to know of the "war" and the "warriors" inside them comes alive and they call up their gruop of friends and tell them about the "declared war"...Both hot blooded groups with minimum 6 guys that may increase to even 50 guys...call each other to a "mutual territory" to meet..Both the groups get ready with their armors (Hockey Sticks, Cricket bats, Knuckle punches, cycle/bike chains,bottles,stumps,rods etc etc..in extreme cases knifes,talwars,kookris,churis....or mebe air gun with metal ball bearings....or desi made pistol....i dunno more than dat) on thier cars and bikes march towards the "warzone"
The war starts with a few swears ...beautiful abuses (that will bring the truck drivers to shame)...some macho talk...Some character assassination of "female family members" of each others group..One of the machos gets offended and hold the collor of the other...lotsa shouts...screams...and the war starts...fist fights are most commonly seen on the "warzone"...Lotsa beats....kicking..screaming abuses of all kinds and in all possible languages...
Almost nearing the end...things slow down...many many injured...bruised...black-eyes...clothes torn..."weapons" broken...men lying on the floor..little blood around...then 1 guy feels a lil bad n helps the "opponent" to get up...others get a heart and start helping each other
Guy1: "Chal jo hua chod...hota hai aisa...chal bait te hai aaj....peene ka mood aaya"
Guy2: "Yaar...chal cigratte pilata hu tuje"
Guy3: "haan yaar....bahut talab lagi hai".........
talking continues...a big group of men...become friends and drink together...the bruised friend..x,y,z and a...all the bloodshed..forgotten

Jamba Juice: Fruit and Veggie Smoothies | Minnie Mama's Blog
Posted by: minniemama on: July 13, 2013
With summer being here, I’ve been taking more and more days off so I can spend time w/ my little BFF. She only goes to work 2 days a week now and it’s been awesome having her home! We seriously never run out of fun and silly things to do with each other — she’s the best! But with this never-ending heat wave we’ve been experiencing in the Boston area there is only so many things we can do. I mean, we’ve done the museums / movies / library 1,0000 times already and as much as we love the beach it’s almost too hot to go bake in the scorching sun. So what’s a girl to do? Well, these girls go shopping!
We spent the morning at our fave mall and had so much fun walking around in the AC while doing a little shopping. And of course we had to make a stop at Sephora — my girl loves sitting there and getting made up all sparkly & pink. Ahhh, be still my heart! 🙂
So after working up quite the appetite from all our ‘hard work’ we decided to go check out Jamba Juice thanks to the awesome that I joined who provided me with a GC. Isabella is on a totally smoothie kick lately so this was the perfect option — healthy, delicious, and quick. Plus I’ve never actually visited Jamba Juice so I was excited to check it out and see what all the hype was about. I was expecting a little kiosk in the middle of the mall, but it’s actually a pretty good sized store and it’s super cute w/ all kinds of bright decorations and wicked friendly staff.
While waiting for our smoothies, I had Isabella do a little informal photo shoot. Yes, we probably looked like total weirdos posing in Jamba Juice, but we had fun!
Isabella ordered the “Jamba Kids Berry Beet It” with only 190 calories plus dairy & gluten free (luckily she has no allergies and she’s a little girl so we obviously don’t count calories, but just in case you were curious!) and I had the “Tropical Harvest Smoothie” which is only 230 calories and dairy / gluten free. Both smoothies were wicked good – like seriously delicious! Honestly, I wasn’t sure if my little chocoholic would go for a smoothie made with beets, but she didn’t even notice and she happily drank the whole thing. I snuck a little taste and it was really delicious — sweet, but not in a sickening sugary kind of way. My Tropical Harvest Smoothie was soooooo delicious, all it really needed was a little umbrella and I could’ve been on a tropical island, ha ha.
We also ordered the Kid’s pizza turkey roll which Isabella planned to share with me, but decided it was too good and she needed to eat it all. Of course her eyes are bigger than her stomach so she only ate 1/2 of it and I got to finish it — totally delicious!
I am probably supposed to tell you the following:
Only 8% of Americans achieve their recommended target for fruit in an average day.
Only 6% of individuals meet their recommended target for vegetables in an average day.
1% adults and 2% kids meet both the fruit and veggie recommendations each day.
But I don’t think we need to get into all those details because all you need to know is that you have to get your booty to Jamba Juice ASAP! Like seriously, I promise you won’t regret it — the prices are very reasonable and more importantly the smoothies are deliciously made from only real, whole fruit and vegetable juice with no added sugars and every smoothie is made-to-order. Mmmm, I am craving a Jamba Juice smoothie now — off to the mall we go! 🙂

Won't be stopped: The 37-year-old continued to plow ahead on social media after blasting trolls earlier this week
The risque image shows the Don't Be Tardy star in what appears to be a lacy bra and not a bikini as she stands on a wooden deck.

Crock Pot Chicken Marsala – Chelsea's Food Creations
Crock Pot, Entrees, Gluten Free, Keto
Posted by chelseagmarshall on July 17, 2018 September 5, 2018
I was looking for something different than the typical meat and veggies dinner we always seem to have these days trying to accommodate my keto dieting husband. I wanted something saucy to use over spaghetti squash noodles I planned to make. And I needed something easy for a busy day. I found this Crock Pot Chicken Marsala which was super simple and a winner! This would be great over pasta, or rice, or even a baked potato. But tonight, we all enjoyed it over spaghetti squash noodles.
4 medium sized chicken breasts (or I used chicken tenders and it worked fine)
1 C dry marsala wine (I usually just buy the cooking marsala)
Add oil to the slow cooker and spread around base.
Layer mushrooms on top. Season with salt and pepper and pour marsala over top.
Remove chicken and mushrooms when cooked, whisk in cream until thickened.
Add chicken and mushrooms back in and cook for an additional 20-30 minutes.
Top with fresh chopped parsley and fresh grated parmesan cheese if desired.

Sometimes we think we're failing only because our own endeavors illuminate the genius of those who inspired us; sometimes we feel we're only shadows. But I think it likely that even my heros felt the same about theirs.
I'm trying to learn how to say this is who I am, this is all I have, this is what I think; do with it what you will.

Burn Me Not: About Me
Hi, welcome to Burn Me Not! My name is Lindsey, and I’m the (amateur) baker, author, and photographer of this blog. I live in the outskirts of Atlanta, Georgia with my amazing husband (avid taste-tester), Matt, and our two loving dogs (wanna be taste-testers), Charlie and Gus.
This blog came about for a couple of reasons...
First, Matt just started back to school this fall. He's going for his MBA, and all anyone could tell me before he started was how busy he's going to be for the next three years. So, I figured I needed something to keep me busy too. :) I've only just started, but I'm already addicted!
Second, I have spent most of this year reading and admiring other food blogs. I have always loved to bake and cook, and seeing other people's adventures in their kitchens really gave me an itch to step up the presence in my own. This blog is to showcase my trials and help keep track of my favorite recipes.
Disclaimer: I am very new to the blog world, so bare with me and hopefully my blog will improve with time!
Why Burn Me Not? That's simple. Everyone who cooks or bakes has had their share of mishaps in the kitchen. If not, well, you must not be human. :) Anytime I try a new recipe or try experimenting with a current one, I have a little bit of that "oh please, let this turn out right" feeling during the process. Do you know what I'm talking about? I guess my thought is, if I were a cupcake in my oven, I would probably be thinking... "Oh please, don't burn me!"
If you wish to contact me, you can email me: burnmenot (at) gmail (dot) com.
Thanks for visiting my blog; I hope you'll return often!
Now, that's enough about me... let's throw on our aprons and go dirty some dishes!! :)

Novels On The Run: SERIES REVIEW: WICKED SERIES by NANCY HOLDER & DEBBIE VIGUIE
TITLE: WICKED SERIES (Witch, Curse, Legacy, Spellbound & Resurrection)
Pages/Format: Paperback
Acquired: On Loan from Ellenbrook Library
SUPREME MOTHER COVEN! STARS
These books are set out as 3 combined books containing 5 individual books in total. So......
Book 1 = Witch & Curse
Book 2 = Legacy & Spellbound
Book 3 = Resurrection
I read them as one wickedly enjoyable long book!!! So I will review the whole series as such.
DESCRIPTIONS FROM GOODREADS:
BOOK 1 - WITCH & CURSE
Holly Cathers's world shatters when her parents are killed in a terrible accident. Wrenched from her home in San Francisco, she is sent to Seattle to live with her relatives, Aunt Marie-Claire and her twin cousins, Amanda and Nicole. In her new home, Holly's sorrow and grief soon give way to bewilderment at the strange incidents going on around her. Such as how any wish she whispers to her cat seems to come true. Or the way a friend is injured after a freak attack from a vicious falcon. And there's the undeniable, magnetic attraction to a boy Holly barely knows. Holly, Amanda, and Nicole are about to be launched into a dark legacy of witches, secrets, and alliances, where ancient magics yield dangerous results. The girls will assume their roles in an intergenerational feud beyond their wildest imaginations...and in doing so, will attempt to fulfill their shared destiny.
BOOK 2 - LEGACY & SPELLBOUND
Lives will be lost, and sacrifices will have to be made...
BOOK 3 - RESURRECTION
(Description from Book)
what the Cahors witches though was the end of their troubles was only the beginning. A threat more powerful and more frightening than anything they have faced has been watching and waiting. The Cahors witches must come together and find Jer and Eli as both the Deveraux and the Cahors family lines face eradication.
WOW!!! This was a very impressive series from Nancy & Debbie. They have certainly initiated me into a wider and more knowledgeable world of witches and warlocks. They gave me understanding of the world of Covens that I had not read before. Nancy & Debbie also delved on the more dark side of witchcraft in this series....It was refreshing to read a lead character dealing "with the devil" in order to save her own coven - bit by bit selling of parts of her soul each time. Though don't be fooled.....the dark side isn't always made up of evil beings - sometimes dedication to those in white comes at a price!
Holly Cather's is our leading lassie! She didn't know she was a witch - let a lone one of the potentially most powerful ever. Naive to begin with.. Holly slowly evolves into a force to be reckoned with - but as I said above....it comes at a price. Thrust into the top position within the coven Holly doesn't get a users manual or workplace practice guide - she has to think quick on the spot and after a few pleads with the almighty Goddess....she realises that each time she receives assistance to save the lives of her coven members.....she loses a part of her soul.....or a loved one. To top it off, poor Holly is the vessel that her long deadish ancestor Isabeau shows up in.
Jer (Jeraud) Deveraux.....Holly's possible love interest. He's from the opposing family and he's a warlock. Jer has a connection with Holly from the minute they meet. His family have been waring with Holly's family (originally known as the Cahors) for generations. An accident happens in the series (ok one of many!!) and regardless of it's outcome - I still see him as hotly handsome. He's a bad, bad boy and has the added affliction of being the Deveraux that his ancestor Jean channels through.
Within the story of Jer and Holly also resides the recurring story of the tortured love between Jean de Deveraux and Isabeau Cahors which started centuries ago. They vowed on their own deaths to kill the other so they may be free. They burden Jer and Holly with this continuing saga - they love each other and hate each other at the same time - their desire to fulfill their own dying wish becomes so overpowering that Jer and Holly must fight through Jean and Isabeau to find their own feelings.
Amanda and Nicole Anderson are Holly's cousins that she is to live with upon the death of her parents. They are twins with a difference. One the popular rebel and the other fairly straight-laced and average. They have a dislike and love for each other which is tested over the series time and again. In the beginning they are also not fully aware of the witching abilities.
Eli Deveraux = BAD BAD BAD BAD right to down to the core..... he's the creation of his ultra evil father Michael Deveraux. Together they are hell bent on extinguishing the Cahors Witches (Holly, Amanda and Nicole). Eli will surprise you - and his evilness will not dissappoint at times either. He is Nicole Anderson's rebel boyfriend (the one to annoy the parents with!). Micheal is just so evil words fail me to describe how utterly horrible a being he is. He will stop at NOTHING to kill Holly.
There are so many characters within the 5 books - all of which play pivotal roles......you don't often find minor characters being so prominent within a story that they just about become lead characters in their own right.
I had an awesome action packed, dark magic ride with The Wicked Series. The fight between good and evil is certainly not what it is always depicted in most novels and Nancy and Debbie have given us a roller coaster series filled with despair, grief, joy, happiness, suspense, action and shock!!!

US 4278855 AAbstract
A snap action switch has a Q-shaped blade having two spring arms terminating in outwardly projecting parallel end portions which are located in a slot in a contact element, these end portions being drawn together upon insertion into the slot, and thereby stressing the blade for snap action. The end portions are retained in the slot by the reaction forces due to the stressing of the blade, and made good electrical contact with the contact element. The blade end portions may be drawn together by a clip to which a contact is rivetted.
The contact element may alternatively be carried by a conductive arm separate from the blade and operable by the latter.
1. A snap action swith including a resilient blade having two cantilever arms with respective end portions and a contact element interconnecting the end portions of said arms and stressing the blade for snap movement of the contact element, wherein the contact element has at least an aperture in which both said end portions are engaged, the contact element being retained on said end portions by virtue of the stressing of the arms of the blade, said contact element aperture tapering in width from its center towards its opposite ends, allowing angular movement of each blade end portion about the edge thereof which engages the respective end of the aperture.
2. The switch defined in claim 1, wherein the aperture in the contact element comprises a slot bounded by flat surfaces which converge towards opposite ends of the slot from the center of the slot and which are engaged by said blade end portions in different stable positions of the arms.
3. A snap action switch comprising a resilient blade having two cantilever arms formed with respective limbs which project towards each other from the free ends of said arms, respective end portions formed at the free ends of said limbs and extending substantially parallel to each other, and a contact element, spaced from said limbs by a clearance gap, interconnecting the end portions of said arms and stressing the blade for snap movement of the contact element, wherein the contact element has an aperture and said end portions engage respective opposite ends of the aperture, the contact element being retained on said end portions by virtue of the stressing of the arms of the blade.
4. A snap action switch comprising:a resilient blade stressed for snap movement and having two cantilever arms, a connecting element interconnecting the free ends of said arms, said connecting element having an aperture in which said free ends of said cantilever arms extend and engaging laterally outer edges of said free ends of the blade arms and drawing the latter together to stress the blade, a contact member attached to or operatively connected to the connecting element, and an electrically conductive cantilever arm engaged by the resilient blade and carrying said contact member, said cantilever arm being movable upon snap movement of the resilient blade to effect snap movement of said contact member; the resilient blade and the conductive cantilever arm being anchored at one end to a common support. 5. The snap action switch defined in claim 4, wherein the connecting element is attached to the electrically conductive cantilever arm.
6. A snap action switch defined in claim 4, wherein the connecting element abuts the conductive cantilever arm.
7. The snap action switch defined in claim 4, wherein the blade is of resilient sheet metal and the conductive cantilever arm is of electrically conductive resilient sheet metal.
8. A snap action switch comprising a resilient blade which snap moves between first and second operative positions having two laterally spaced cantilever arms defining respective projecting end portions and a contact element interconnecting the end portions, said projecting end portions extending into said contact element with an edge of each said projecting end portion in resilient bearing engagement with said contact element, said blade being stressed and dished by the bearing engagement between said end portions and said contact element, said blade being concavely dished when in said first operative position and convexly dished when in said second operative position, said end portions each being movable angularly about the location of bearing engagement with said contact element so that said end portions are concavely and convexly dished with said blade when said switch is in said first and second operative positions, respectively.
9. The switch defined in claim 8 or claim 21, further including a fixed contact with which the contact element cooperates, and wherein the play between the end portions of the arms and said contact element enables a momentary increase in the contact pressure between the contact element and the fixed contact immediately before snap-separation of the contacts.
10. The switch defined in claim 8, wherein the contact element defines a slot with the width of the slot being such that the two end portions can be inserted in the slot and engage opposite ends of the slot.
11. A snap action switch comprising:a resilient blade having two cantilever arms, said blade further comprising limbs which project towards each other from respective ends of the arms, said limbs having respective end portions which extend substantially parallel to each other and transverse to the directions of extent of their respective associated limbs, a connecting element interconnecting said end portions, said connecting element engaging laterally outer ends of said end portions and drawing the latter together to stress the blade, and a contact member attached to the connecting element. 12. The snap action switch defined in claim 11 wherein the contact member is attached to the connecting element by a rivet passing through the connecting element and through the adjoining end portions.
This invention relates to snap action switches.
A known type of snap action switch, described, for example, in U.S. Pat. No. 4,118,610 has a resilient blade formed with two cantilever arms which are interconnected at their free ends by a contact element welded to the two arms so as to draw the arms together and stress the blade for snap movement of the contact element relative to a fixed contact of the switch.
In order to fabricate such a snap action switch the contact element has to be welded to the cantilever arms while the latter are held in a stressed position. The welding of the contact element to the cantilever arms of such a switch blade necessitates a consistent quality of welding, resulting in a critical manufacturing operation. Moreover, since the contact can be welded to one side of the switch blade only, this technique is applicable to single-throw switches only.
An object of the present invention is to provide a snap action switch in which welding or other permanent fixing of the contact element of the switch blade is avoided, without adversely affecting the electrical characteristics of the switch. A further object of the invention is to provide a switch as aforesaid which can be employed as a changeover switch.
According to the invention there is provided a snap action switch including a resilient blade having two cantilever arms interconnected at their free ends by a contact element which stresses the blade for snap movement of the contact element, in which the contact element has an aperture or apertures in which the free ends of the arms are engaged and retained by virtue of the stressing of the arms of the blade.
It has been found that the contact element can be retained effectively on the arms of the switch blade solely through the stressing of the arms of the blade, which at the same time ensures good contact between the contact element and the switch blade.
In use of the switch the contact element cooperates with a fixed contact and preferably the play between the free ends of the arms and the or each aperture in the contact element is such as momentarily to cause an increase in the contact pressure between the contact element and the fixed contact immediately before separation of the contacts upon snap movement of the contact element.
Preferably the cantilever arms have end portions which extend substantially parallel to each other and engage opposite ends of a slot in the contact element. By suitably dimensioning the slot allowance can be made for angular movement of the end portions of the cantilever arms so that the contact element can effect a more or less linear displacement upon snap movement of the switch blade. Thus the slot in the contact element may taper in width from its centre towards its opposite ends, to allow angular movement of each blade end portion about the edge thereof which engages the respective end of the slot.
In a preferred embodiment of the invention the slot in the contact element is bounded by flat surfaces which converge towards opposite ends of the slot from the centre of the slot and which are engaged by the blade end portions in different positions of the contact element. The end portions of the switch blade may be formed at the free ends of respective limbs which project towards each other from the free ends of the cantilever arms.
The contact element preferably comprises an elongate body of conductive material formed with at least one elongate contact surface which is convex in transverse cross section. An elongate massive contact body is preferred for the purpose of dissipating by conduction heat generated in the contact element in use of the switch.
The contact element may be adapted to engage respective fixed contacts at opposite extreme positions of its snap movement, in which case the contact element may have respective elongate transversely convex surfaces on opposite longitudinal edge faces.
For some practical applications it may be expedient to provide an electrical contact on the switch blade which is separate from the means for stressing the blade. A snap action switch in accordance with this aspect of the invention comprises a resilient blade stressed for snap movement and having two cantilever arms interconnected at their free ends by a connecting element which engages laterally outer edges of the free ends of the blade arms, drawing the latter together and stressing the blade, and a contact member attached to or operatively connected to the free ends of the cantilever arms or to the connecting element. The contact member may be attached to the free ends of the cantilever arms by a rivet passing through the connecting element.
The movable electrical contact of the switch may alternatively be carried on an arm which is arranged to be moved by the resilient blade. Thus in another embodiment of the invention the connecting element has an aperture in which the free ends of the cantilever arms are freely engaged and an electrically conductive cantilever arm is engaged by the resilient blade and is moved upon snap movement of the latter to effect snap movement of a contact member carried by the said conductive arm. The connecting element may be attached to or formed integrally with the electrically conductive cantilever arm. Alternatively, the connecting element may engage the conductive cantilever arm without being secured to the latter.
The invention will be further described, by way of example, with reference to the accompanying purely diagrammatic drawings, in which:

The same reference numerals are used throughout the drawings to designate the same or corresponding components.
Referring first to FIGS. 1 to 3, essential components of a snap action switch according to the invention are shown diagrammatically. The switch has a resilient Q-shaped blade 1 which is formed with a base portion 2 having two cantilever arms 3, 4 projecting therefrom in a direction substantially parallel to each other. At their free ends the cantilever arms are formed with respective limbs 5,6 which project towards each other and which in turn terminate in respective end portions 7,8 which are substantially perpendicular to the limbs 5, 6 and which project outwardly therefrom in substantially parallel directions.
The blade 1 is formed with an integral internal tongue 9 which is disposed symmetrically between the arms 3, 4 and which projects towards the limbs 5, 6. Near its free end the tongue 9 is formed with an arcuate raised portion 10 for engagement by a switch operating member 11 (FIG. 2).
The blade 1 further has an external tongue 12 projecting outwardly from the base portion 2 in the opposite direction to the inner tongue 9 and terminating in a flat mounting lug 13 which is formed with two fixing holes 14.
The switch blade 1 is designed to be attached to a fixed support (not shown), normally a conductive terminal strip, by means of rivets (not shown) passing through the fixing holes 14, so that the blade 1 projects cantilever fashion from the support. One of the fixing holes 14 is elongate in a transverse direction to allow slight accommodation of the position of the blade when mounting it on its fixed support.
The switch blade 1 is formed in a single pressing operation from an initially flat piece of resilient conductive sheet metal, for example beryllium-copper. The stamped sheet metal blade 1 is shown in plan in FIG. 4. The raised portion 10 of the inner tongue 9 may be formed simultaneously in the pressing operation in which the blade 1 is cut from a sheet metal blank. Reference to FIG. 4 will show that the two end portions 7,8 although substantially perpendicular to the respective limbs 5,6 are in fact inclined to the strictly perpendicular direction at an angle of about 3�, the end portions 7,8 diverging towards their free ends. This divergence allows for the subsequent prestressing of the blade for snap action, which will normally be done before the blade is anchored to its fixed support, but which may be carried out after the anchoring of the blade.
In order to effect the blade pre-stressing the outer corners 15,16 of the blade at the junctions of the arms 3,4 and the respective limbs 5,6 are subjected to inwardly directed forces by, for example, respective tools (not shown) which urge the two limbs 5,6 towards each other. The outer corners 15,16 of the blade may be suitably rounded to facilitate the engagement of the blade deforming tools therewith, as shown in FIG. 4. The inward deformation of the limbs 5,6 towards each other results in a dished deformation of the blade 1 as a whole, for example to the state illustrated in an exaggerated form in FIG. 1, while the two end portions 7,8 are brought close to each other so as to lie substantially parallel to each other, while remaining separated by a small clearance.
Having stressed the initially flat blade 1 by deformation as described, a contact element 17 is attached to the projecting end portions 7, 8. The contact element 17 comprises an elongate bar formed centrally with a slot 18 extending through its entire thickness, the length of the slot 18 being such as to accommodate the two blade end portions 7, 8 with the clearance between them, as shown in FIG. 1. The contact element 17 is simply placed over the end portions 7, 8 and the pressure applied to the opposite corners 15, 16 of the blade is then released, whereupon the end portions 7, 8 are urged outwardly by the prestressing of the blade into engagement with the opposite ends of the slot 18. The resilient engagement of the opposite edges of the end portions 7, 8 with the opposite ends of the slot 18 is sufficient to retain the contact element 17 on the blade by friction alone. To further assist in retaining the contact element 17, however, the end portions 7, 8 may be sufficiently long to project through the slot 18 beyond the contact element 17, the projecting ends of the portions 7, 8 being upset or deformed to prevent subsequent removal of the contact element 17. Alternatively, the end portions 7, 8 may be undercut, forming respective heels 19, 20, as shown in broken outline in FIG. 4, which project away from each other and which extend beyond the opposite ends of the slot 18 after the contact element has been fitted to the end portions 7, 8, to retain the contact element 17 positively upon the end portions.
The slot 18 in the contact element 17 tapers in width from its centre towards its opposite ends, the slot 18 being bounded by flat surfaces which converge towards the opposite ends of the slot from the centre of the slot and which are engaged by the flat end portions 7, 8 of the blade in different operative conditions of the latter, as described with reference to FIGS. 2 and 3.
The contact element 17 is formed on opposite longitudinal edges with respective contact surfaces 21, 22 which are convex in transverse cross section and which are adapted to engage respective fixed contacts in different operative positions of the blade. In the drawings, only one fixed contact, 23, is shown diagrammatically for the sake of simplicity. The fixed contact 23 has a convex contact surface which in one position of the blade (FIG. 1) makes electrical contact with the convex contact surface 21, midway between the ends of the latter.
The elongate contact element 17 can conveniently be fabricated from an extruded length of solid metal rod which may be extruded with the required cross sectional shape and then pierced at intervals to form through slots 18 before being cut to form the individual contact elements 17. Alternatively, the piercing and cutting of the extruded metal rod may be carried out in a single operation.
In the closed condition of the illustrated switch components the contact element 17 is held against the fixed contact 23 by a contact pressure derived from the resilience of the prestressed blade 1, which in this configuration has an upwardly convex dished shape such that the two arms 3, 4 are urged downwardly towards the fixed contact 23, and below the level of the inner tongue 9. The two limbs 5, 6 are inclined upwardly towards each other as viewed from the free end of the blade (FIG. 3) so that the end portions 7, 8 lie in contact with the upper flat surfaces of the slot 18 in the contact element 17. The contact pressure with which the contact element 17 is urged against the fixed contact 23 derives from the fact that in this position the switch blade is urged by its prestressing towards a stable position in which the contact element 17 would be carried beyond the fixed contact 23. In the illustrated configuration, therefore, the switch is a normally-closed switch in which the contact element 17 is held in contact with the fixed contact 23 by virtue of the prestressing of the blade 1.
When a force P is applied to the inner tongue 9 of the switch blade, in a downward direction as illustrated in FIGS. 1 and 2, by the switch operating member 11 engaging the raised portion 10, the tongue 9 is deflected so as to induce a snap-change in the dished configuration of the blade from the upwardly convex configuration of FIG. 1 to the upwardly concave configuration illustrated diagrammatically in FIG. 2. This snap-change is accompanied by a snap-movement of the two arms 3, 4 upwards relative to the fixed contact 23, so that the contact element 17 is lifted rapidly away from the fixed contact 23 into the open position of the switch (FIG. 2).
If the switch blade 1 is configured for monostable operation it will normally occupy the position shown in FIG. 1, but can be maintained in the position shown in FIG. 2 as long as the force P is applied to the tongue 9. The force P may, for example, be derived from a bellows or other temperature or pressure responsive actuator means.
In the position shown in FIG. 2, in which the contact surface 21 is separated from the fixed contact 23, the other contact surface 22 of the contact element 17 may come into contact with another fixed contact (not shown), adapting the switch for use as a changeover switch.
When the switch blade is in the upwardly concave dished configuration shown in FIG. 2 the two limbs 5, 6 of the blade, as viewed from the free end of the blade, are inclined downwardly towards the fixed contact 23, so that the end portions 7, 8 are in contact with the lower flat surfaces defining the slot 18, as shown in broken outline in FIG. 3. It will be noted that when the blade undergoes the snap transition from the configuration shown in FIG. 1 to that shown in FIG. 2 the end portions 7, 8 of the blade rotate about their outer edges, which remain in firm contact with the opposite ends of the slot 18. In undergoing this transition the end portions 7, 8 pass through a highly unstable position in which they are coplanar and spaced from the opposite bounding surfaces of the slot 18. The end portions 7, 8 therefore move rapidly from this unstable position and strike the lower surfaces of the slot 18, before the contact member 17 leaves the fixed contact 23. This results in a momentary increase in the contact pressure between the contact element 17 and the contact 23 immediately before the contacts open. Such a pre-snapping contact pressure is beneficial to the switching action and increases the speed with which the contacts eventually separate.
The contact element 17 is made from solid metal, preferably silver, and, being massive, acts as an effective heat sink for dissipating heat generated in the breaking of the contacts. Although the contact element 17 may be made in solid silver, a composite construction may alternatively be employed in which a massive contact element of, for example, brass provided with a silver or other conductive coating. Where the contact element 17 is intended to make and break a single contact only it may have a laminated construction with a silver contact strip applied to a brass or other thermally conductive backing member.
The construction of the switch according to the invention avoids the need for welding of a contact to the free ends of the cantilever arms 3, 4 of the switch blade 1. Furthermore, the "pivotal" connection between the projecting ends 7, 8 of the blade arms and the contact element 17 affords, in effect, a floating connection between the contact element 17 and the switch blade, the stress loading of the projecting portions 7, 8 ensuring good electrical contact between the switch blade and the contact element 17.
To avoid any frictional rubbing between the contact element 17 and the switch blade a clearance gap should always exist between the contact element 17 and the outlet edges of the limbs 5,6 of the switch blade. As stated earlier, positive retention of the contact element 17 on the projecting end portions 7, 8 may be ensured by under-cutting the laterally outer edges of the end portions 7, 8 about which these portions "pivot" within the slot 18.
A construction according to a second embodiment of the invention which also avoids the necessity of welding a contact to the switch blade is illustrated diagrammatically in FIGS. 5 and 6. In this alternative, the end portions 7, 8 are drawn together to prestress the switch blade by a connecting element 25 having upstanding end flanges 26 which embrace the laterally outer edges of the blade arm end portions 7,8. The connecting element 25 need not necessarily be a good electrical conductor and may, for example, comprise a steel brace or clip. A separate contact member 27 is attached to the free end of the blade by an integral rivet 28, the contact member 27 making good electrical contact with the flat end portions 7,8 of the blade, and the shank of the rivet 28 passing through the connecting element 25.
The contact member 27 may be of bi-metal construction comprising a body of copper or other suitable conductive material and a contact head of silver or silver alloy. Alternatively, the entire contact member 27 may comprise solid silver or silver alloy, affording two contact surfaces where the switch is intended for use as a changeover switch, with a shank of the same material making good electrical contact with the switch blade itself.
In the third illustrated embodiment of the invention the switch blade 1 does not itself carry a switch contact, but operates a contact-carrying arm. Referring to FIGS. 7 to 9 a cantilever arm 30 of electrically conductive material for example, beryllium copper, is anchored to a fixed support by the same rivets which fix the blade 1 to the support. The cantilever arm 30 has an upstanding tongue 31 near its free end, formed by upsetting from the arm 30, the tongue 31 acting as a connecting element and having a transverse slot 18 in which the end portions 7,8 of the blade 1 are engaged. At its free end the arm 30 carries a switch contact 27 attached to the arm by welding or rivetting.
By inward deformation of the limbs 5,6 towards each other, as described previously, a dished deformation is imparted to the blade 1. The two end portions 7,8 are brought close to each other so as to lie substantially parallel to each other while remaining separated by a small clearance. The end portions 7,8 of the stressed blade 1 are introduced into the slot 18 in the tongue 31 attached to the cantilever conductive arm 30. After the introduction of the end portions 7,8 into the slot 18 the pressure applied to the outer corners 15,16 of the blade 1 is then released, whereupon the end portions 7,8 are urged outwardly by the resilience of the stressed blade, bringing the laterally outer edges of the portions 7, 8 into engagement with the opposite ends of the slot 18. The resilient engagement of the opposite edges of the end portions 7,8 with the opposite ends of the slot 18 is sufficient to retain the end portions 7,8 in engagement with the tongue 31.
The flat mounting lug 13 of the blade is then anchored to the fixed support along with the adjacent end of the conductive arm 15 by rivets passing through the holes 14.
The slot 18 in the tongue 31 may taper in width from its centre towards its opposite ends, similarly to the slot 18 in the embodiment of FIGS. 1 to 3.
The contact 27 co-operates with a fixed contct 23. The switch shown in FIGS. 7 to 9 is a normally open switch in which the contacts 27,23, are separated in the normal condition of the switch, as illustrated in FIGS. 7 and 8. In this condition the prestressed blade 1 has an upwardly convex dished shape such that the two arms 3,4 are urged downwardly, below the level of the inner tongue 9. The two limbs 5,6 are inclined upwardly towards each other as viewed from the free end of the blade so that the end portions 7,8 lie in contact with the upper surfaces of the slot 18 in the tongue 31.
When a force is applied to the inner tongue 9 of the switch blade, in a downward direction as illustrated in FIG. 8, by the switch operating member 11 engaging the raised portion 10, the tongue 9 is deflected so as to induce a snap-change in the dished configuration of the blade 1 from the upwardly convex configuration of FIG. 8 to an upwardly concave configuration illustrated diagrammatically in FIG. 9. This snap-change is accompanied by a snap-movement of the two arms 3,4 upwards so that the arm 30 and the contact 27 carried thereby is lifted into engagement with the fixed contact 23 into the closed position of the switch (FIG. 9).
The pressure with which the contact 27 is urged against the fixed contact 23 in the closed position derives from the prestressing of the blade 1, which is urged towards a stable position in which the contact 27 would be carried beyond the fixed contact 23. If the switch blade 1 is configured for monostable operation it will normally occupy the position shown in FIG. 8, but can be maintained in the position shown in FIG. 9 as long as an operating force is applied by the operating member 11. The force may, for example, be derived from a bellows or other temperature or pressure-responsive actuator means.
If the switch is to be used as a changeover switch a further contact 27A may be provided on the opposite face of the cantilever arm 30 from the contact 27 (FIGS. 8 and 9), the contact 27A coming into contact with another fixed contact 23A when the contacts 27, 23 are separated. The contacts 27A,23A are shown in broken outline in FIGS. 8 and 9.
When the switch blade is in the upwardly concave dished configuration (FIG. 9) the two limbs 5,6 of the blade, as viewed from the free end of the blade, are inclined downwardly towards the fixed contact 23A, so that the end portions 7,8 are in contact with the lower surfaces defining the slot 18. In undergoing a snap movement the end portions 7,8 pass through a highly unstable position in which they are coplanar.

Mismatched Bookends: A Bookish Quote
Choosing to quote:
I wanted to save quotes for my personal blog but some are so great they come from books and just belong here. I have been thinking about doing a quote a day from a book since I started this blog. I may not do a quote everyday, but I have read, and am reading a lot of books. So there are a lot of quotes. You only have to go to my Goodreads page to see my quotes. The quote I am posting I chose because it is Science Fiction, and explains about a women being "The President" if you will.
“Almost all the United Commonwealth presidents have been female. It has been argued that women are less aggressive, more maternal, and thus more focused on the well-being of the country's people. Less focused on politics or power.”
from the book "Independent Study" (ARC) written by Joelle Charbonneau
I am halfway done with this and super excited it is so good. I cannot wait to review it for you!!

Penguins Shut Out Faltering Rangers - The New York Times
Hockey|Penguins Shut Out Faltering Rangers
Penguins Shut Out Faltering Rangers
PITTSBURGH (AP) — Marc-Andre Fleury could not help it. Late in the third period against the Rangers on Saturday, Fleury was on the verge of the Pittsburgh Penguins’ career record for shutouts, and he let his mind drift.
“I wanted it so bad,” Fleury said. “I tried to not jinx it.”
Fleury stopped 23 shots for his 23rd shutout, one more than Tom Barrasso, and the Penguins beat the Rangers, 3-0, for their eighth straight victory.
The Rangers, who lost for the fourth time in five games, and for the seventh straight time against Pittsburgh, were shut out for the third time this season.
The best team in the Eastern Conference last spring, the Rangers trail the Penguins by 14 points with six weeks left in the regular season. They remain outside the playoff picture, dropping to 10th place in the conference later Saturday when the Islanders won.
“It’s gut-check time, pretty much,” defenseman Dan Girardi said. “We’ve got to figure out what’s going on here and play with some serious desperation. We’re falling in the standings.”

Bennett opened the scoring at 1 minute 30 seconds of the first period when he took a pass off the boards from Jeffrey and fired a slap shot from the right circle over the shoulder of goalie Henrik Lundqvist.
The Rangers did not record a shot in the opening 10 minutes and spent much of the game on their heels. They have scored two goals during their three-game losing streak.
“I thought today we were in mud, we really struggled, but we righted the ship,” Rangers Coach John Tortorella said. “I thought we played a good second period. I thought we were in a good spot going into the third period.”
But the Penguins put the Rangers away with third-period goals less than a minute apart. After drawing a tripping penalty on Anton Stralman, Kennedy scored on the power play at 6:34 by rocketing a one-timer from the left circle. Dupuis beat Lundqvist with a backhand shot at 7:17 for his 14th goal.
The Penguins’ defense clamped down in the final 12 minutes, and the only question was whether Fleury would achieve the shutout record. The Rangers came close to scoring only once, when a Carl Hagelin wrist shot knuckled off Fleury’s midsection, fell to the ice and lay tantalizingly close to the goal line. Fleury managed to put his glove on it before it could trickle into the net.
“I think you need a little bit of good bounces here and there to get a shutout, and definitely tonight that was a good one there,” Fleury said.
The Rangers spoke openly before the game about the need to get off to a strong start to offset disappointing losses to Buffalo and Winnipeg. It didn’t happen.
After Bennett’s early goal, only brilliant play from Lundqvist prevented things from getting worse for the Rangers. Lundqvist finished with 24 saves.
Girardi tried to give the Rangers a spark, tangling frequently with Sidney Crosby, the N.H.L.’s leading scorer. Late in the first period, the two took matching minor penalties for roughing. Girardi knocked off Crosby’s helmet, and Crosby stuck a glove into Girardi’s face.

You are doing ok Beanzie - this is still early days. As long as you get out and do something not to lose the focus of doing something for yourself eh?
You say that you have always had 'fixed term' type jobs - well you are braver than I am. I need my secuirity me - I've been a nurse for over 35 years and in the place I am now for 15 of those years. I'm not brave enough to take the plunge now and move on (unless I get the teaching post that has been a promise for ages).
Anyway - out you go tomorrow for a walk/plod, which will give you the space to support TB on Sunday.
And get in training for 'Sherpa' duty next May :0)

I've only been doing contract work for just under three years. I'd really like to get back to 'proper' employment. Trouble is, I don't know that it's going to happen. Things change, don't they?
It'll take a while to settle in. You're more active in this job which is tiring, let alone the challenge of teaching and all the preparation that goes with it. Make the most of what there is at the moment - like striding up the stairs and eating healthy stuff from the school canteen. You'll work out how to get a new 'life' including running and other exercise all fitting together again.

Good sensible advice here
And I too would have thought that a long term contract takes some prerssure off9having done enough of the fixed term thing myself)
It IS early days yet-i actually think a omplete change takes 6-12 months to settle in to
Could you plod STRAIGHT after school??????
before you get home and get distracted i mean

I have had the complete opposite and worked for the same company for 22 years now - not a fixed contract more of a life sentance.
Suffering like you with tiredness (and in my case general apathy)...

Garbage | The Scrabblequeen Knits, Too

For the Ellipsis Monday Photo Shoot
EMPS#109: GARBAGE DAY
Into each life, a GARBAGE DAY must come. At the moment, my GARBAGE DAY is Thursday, and it consists of rolling my receptacle down a long private driveway. But that’s my experience, now I want to see yours! Big cans. Little cans. Duck shaped cans, that open their beaks when something needs to be discarded. Big industrial cans. Teeny tiny waste baskets… it’s all good. So show me already! Don’t be afraid to get artistic. Think outside the box. Have fun. Look at GARBAGE DAY in a new way, through your camera’s lens!
Well, garbage day ’round these parts isn’t until Thursday, so I had to think smaller than the 4 huge toters we haul down to the curb most weeks. Four? Are you serious? Yes! One for ordinary trash. One for recycle-ables. Two for yard debris. We rarely fill the trash toter, but seem to fill the recycle one (or over-fill) weekly.
I made some grapefruit juice today….and even so natural a thing a fresh fruit results in garbage! (I’m just not set up for composting)

Rinds are just the thing for the garbage disposal. So is most everything else. I wouldn’t show off my garbage day; no one would believe it.

As for how camera-ready my garbage looks, never rind.
By: AlisonH on January 25, 2011
Impressive… and thanks for reminding me to remind the Knight to take the trash “buggy” to the roadfront!

Now I want some grapefruit juice!
By: ellen b on January 25, 2011
Thursday is my day for garbage to! That may change soon, we’ll see, but I also take 4 cans to the curb. 🙂 I like the idea of the peels. We might have to revist this idea again before the end of the year. Nice form on the photo. Would love to see the same photo in different lighting. 🙂 Nicely done m’dear!

I’m impressed with your take on recycling.
By: Jama on January 28, 2011
I’m not set up for composting either.

As readers surely remember, Judge Floro was declared psychotic and removed from the bench for being in psychic contact with three invisible “mystic dwarves” 1 named Armand, Luis and Angel. Angel, Judge Floro tells the Wall Street Journal, "is the neutral force", Armand "is a benign influence", and Luis,"whom Mr. Floro describes as the "king of kings," is an avenger."
Now the Supreme Court which fired him is persecuting him again, issuing an “en banc resolution asking Mr. Floro to desist in his threats of 'ungodly reprisal.'”
While not stating explicitly, the Court appears to be blaming Judge Floro for a series of unfortunate events, including a “mysterious” fire which “destroyed the Supreme Court's crest in its session hall”, and a string of accidents and illnesses numerous members of the court and their family members have recently suffered from.
