Tackle boxes and fishing poles are the mainstay tools of both pro and weekend fisherfolk. The basic geometrical shapes that comprise both tools are easy to recognize, even on first glance. If your approach to drawing makes use of boxes and cylinders, drawing tackle boxes and fishing poles should present little challenge to you. If you've never drawn before, fishing gear's basic shapes make it a great first project. You can apply such shapes to future drawing projects.
Things You'll Need
- Pencil and paper
Begin forming the fishing pole: Draw a 4-inch diagonal line that extends from the page's lower left corner and moves upward and right at a 45-degree angle. Bow the line slightly toward the top of the page.
Complete the pole's first curve: Extend step 1's line another 3 or 4 inches, making it increasingly more bowed as your pencil moves right.
Form the upper outline of the pole: Draw a curve nearly parallel to the curve from steps 1 and 2. Start the curve 1/2 inch upward and left of the first curve's start.
Arc the second curve to follow the first curve along its length. But, taper the second curve as your pencil moves right, so there's less and less distance between the two curves. When you reach the first curve's right end, the second curve should be about 1/8 inch above the first curve's endpoint.
Complete the rod's main cylinder: Cap the left and right ends of the two curves with ovals.
Form the right side of the reel: About 2 inches up and right from the left end of the rod, draw an oval whose height (about 3/4 inch) is significantly longer than its width. Draw this oval so that its top sits about 1/4 inch below the lower curve of the rod.
Form the reel's left side: Draw a second oval whose top is just visible above the rod's upper curve. Make this oval's size and shape the same as the right side oval, but position it slightly higher.
Complete the reel: Connect the extreme tops and bottoms of the two reel ovals. The net effect should appear as a cylinder sitting under the rod.
Add a smaller cylinder for the handle, just below the right end of the reel.
Form the fishing line guides: At regular intervals just below the rod's lower outline, draw increasingly smaller ovals as you move from left to right. The first oval should be about 1/4 inch long, and the last barely visible.
Form the fishing line: Snake a line from the reel and through each of the line guides. Drop the line down and slightly to the right as it exits the right-most guide. Extend the line to a page edge. This completes the drawing of the fishing pole.
Form the tackle box's left side: Draw a four-sided diamond with these characteristics:
Left and right sides are both about 2 inches long and run strictly vertical to the drawing page.
- After connecting the left and right edges with top and bottom edges, the diamond appears as a square foreshortened by perspective.
Form the box's right side: Draw a diamond like step 11's but slightly smaller. Position it 3 inches to the right of the first diamond, and slightly higher.
Connect the corresponding points of the two diamonds to form a shape that appears as a 3D box.
Customize and refine the box by drawing a handle on its top face and rounding the corners.

Michelle Obama tried to get Jay Leno to eat some healthy foods Tuesday night when she visited The Tonight Show.
"We've got apples because I heard you haven't had an apple in a decade," she said, pushing a plate in front of him.
" '84," said Leno.
"And some of our White House honey. If you dip it, it will help it go down easier," she said.
"White House honey," replied Leno. "That sounds bad. You know, with a different president that could mean a whole different thing, 'a little White House honey.' "

I've never had kimchi, but I like cabbage, I like cooked cabbage, brussel sprouts, etc. I also like spicy food.
So im looking for a decent recipe to make kimchi at home. Can anyone link me?
First I think you should buy a jar at an Asian market to see if you like Kimchi.
Most kimchi is basically Napa cabbage layered with salt, fish sauce, and Korean chili flakes (gochugaru) and fermented. Almost any Korean cooking website or cookbook will have recipes. It used to be made in every Korean household in the fall and stored in crocks as a way to preserve vegetables over the winter. I'm sure every household had its own twist.
There are other kimchi recipes besides Napa--diakon is another vegetable often used to make kimchi. I think the word basically means "fermented vegetable." Sandor Katz is an American fermentation guru. His kimchi recipes are all over the internet.
I agree with Terry, you should buy some and try it first, not necessarily to see if you will like it (if you like cabbage, fermented foods and spicy you'll like Kimchi) but to get an idea for what it tastes like so that when you make it you know if you've been successful or not.
There are hundreds, if not thousands of recipes, and video how-to's, on how to make kimchi. They can vary somewhat in their ingredients and there are a couple of different ways to start the fermentation process. If you are serious about making Kimchi though, you really do need the Korean chili powder. I've made both with the Korean stuff, and with stuff I had more readily available. In this case there really is a major difference in both the look and flavor between the 2. If you don't a decent Asian store close by then buy some online. It is worth the extra effort.
I can't recommend a brand name as they are in Korean. I can only read the fine print (in English) that says Korean chili powder. I'd look online to see if you can order any. I highly doubt that you would find it at Whole Foods. But it is definitely worth that little added effort. It makes all the difference between okay kimchi and good kimchi.
You're in the States, yes?
You want to order from H-Mart. Gigantic Korean-American grocery store chain.

It's the battle of the TV divas! Well, kind of... Real Housewives of Atlanta star NeNe Leakes and talk-show maven Wendy Williams have taken their infamous feud to new heights at the Atlanta Ultimate Women's Expo at the Georgia World Congress Center this past weekend.
According to Atlanta Daily World, both ladies were registered as keynote speakers at the event and to make matters worse, they were scheduled to appear on stage back-to-back — Leakes at 1:00 p.m. and Williams at 1:30 p.m.
Since their time slots were so close, the ladies were placed within close proximity to one another while they waited to hit the stage. That probably was not the best idea as sparks reportedly flew. Leakes said on Twitter, "So SHOCKED to hear everything that was happening backstage while I was onstage speaking @ the women's expo! WOW the professionalism."
Taking things further, the reality star appeared on Andy Cohen's Watch What Happens Live! on Sunday night where she was asked what went down. According to Leakes, she and the current queen of talk didn't go at it — it was Wendy's manager and husband, Kevin Hunter. "I didn't even see Wendy nor her husband today," she said. "But a lot happened backstage with her husband I heard — just because I was on stage, he went completely crazy."
Check out Wendy Williams dishing on NeNe's alleged friendship with Kim Kardashian below:

Your visiting team Chair will introduce you to the protocol, provide a team schedule, discuss the purposes and expected outcomes for the visit, and provide the team with his/her expectations at a training and organizational meeting when you first arrive.
You will spend most of the time during the 3½ day visit observing the routine and functions of the school, interviewing stakeholders, and drawing conclusions regarding the coherence of the school's self-study and your own observations in regard to the Middle States Standards.
The team will do its work both during the day and in the evenings. You will be asked to write a summary of the team's conclusions on one or more areas, therefore, it is very helpful to bring a laptop computer with Microsoft Word to the visit. The Chair, however, writes the final report so it is important to turn your contributions over to the chair before leaving.
Your lodgings and meals during the visit will be arranged and paid for by the host school. The host will also reimburse you for your travel costs. Travel expenses include mileage and tolls. Travel by air or train must be approved by the host institution in advance. Personal expenses, including car rental, are not reimbursable. In most cases, the host will reimburse you before your departure.
Professional dress is expected for the daytime; comfortable clothes may be worn for evening meetings at your lodgings.

Hospital Summer(1988)
A novel by Valerie Benson
FROM BACK COVER: "From the moment he started listening to the malicious gossip, rising surgeon Kyle Darracot detested Staff Nurse Meryl Harvey. When she was appointed to look after the wife of a hospital governor, he did his best to take her off the case. Small wonder Meryl regarded him as the man she would least like to be marooned with on a desert island. It was only when her boyfriend returned from Canada, determined to take her back with him as his wife, that Kyle discovered how close hate is to love. And when he rescued her from the sea after a sailing accident, they both realized that her fate lay not in Canada, but in England."

My kids are young - two and almost four. In the grand scheme of parenting, my toe is just barely in the water… which seems weird since my non-parental days are just a hallucination in a dessert of sleepless nights. (Because despite what the books say, not all kids will eventually sleep through the night. Sure, they may not go to college in diapers, but I am fully convinced that some will go to college still waking up 2-3 times each night, which will prepare them amply for that atmosphere anyway.)
Each year as my eldest miraculously makes it to another birthday, I try to reflect upon the absolute chaos that I never could have envisioned.
Here are some things I never knew, year four:
1. Kids are adeptly skilled at coughing into your mouth whenever you manage to have it open for more than two seconds. These little carrier monkeys would be the military's best weapons if they truly wanted to spread any sort of plague.
2. Along the lines of illness, I had no idea how many truly disgusting viruses and bacteria exist solely for the 0-6 set. Hand foot and mouth disease with its oozing blisters infecting every local ball pit? Nasty. Roseola's creepy rash that often shows up completely separate from the fever that you never figured out in the first place? Come on.
And let's not forget pink eye. Okay, that's for kids over six, too. I know that because every since my kids started into day care, our household has been a den of oozy eyeballs (and hands, and feet…)
3. I never realized how quickly the worries about molding your child's personality would kick in. When my daughter was younger, she was always a "leader" (read: bossy). I was seriously concerned at various points that she'd never have friends if she continued on that path. Now, we're at the opposite extreme at school, where she often caters to another student who is often unkind to the other kids. Now I wish I had that leader back!
4. Kids have a radar for profanity, and love to repeat it back. Not too long ago, I was running late for a meeting. I was rushing to get the kids to school and was admittedly not at my parenting best. My daughter notices about five minutes from school (and fifteen from the house) that she doesn't have her "lovey." Meltdowns ensue. First, appropriately, from my three-year-old. Then, I piece together a string of profanity that has certainly never been uttered together before, at least not at the decibel or octave at which I screeched it.
Several days later, we were having trouble finding her lovey before bedtime. Walking up to one of my friends, my daughter said, completely deadpan, "Can you please just help me find my god**** lovey?"
5. I wish I'd known how much simpler life was before the kids could fully reason. Timeouts worked magically with my daughter when she was younger. She was amazing - I never had to put on a timer or try to keep her in her "spot." She would take a break and come back when she had calmed down. Now that she can reason - and argue - there is. no. end. to the argument. "Why" has been replaced with "Yeah, but" and I have future visions of the kids' teenage selves scaring the heck out of me.
6. No matter how much time I devote to cleaning - my house, myself or my kids, things will always be sticky. There will be that one patch of the floor that you walk over and your sock sticks (okay, more than one). On the rare occasions I make it out of my house for real grown-up time, I will discover peanut butter in my hair, behind my ear, or magically on my back. And no matter how many times I wipe Greek yogurt off of the kids faces, it will reappear during the car ride to school.
7. Babysitters are impossible to find. Sure, we have access to websites promoting access to childcare providers, but in an era when high school students' schedules are packed with extracurriculars, that awesome sixteen year old up the street is rarely an option these days. And the ones on the websites, from my experience, are more likely to show your kids pictures of tattoos on their rears than focus on little things like... meals. (I guess I should be happy it was just the picture?)
8. …And babysitters can retire at 30. You have to take out a second mortgage just to be able to leave the house. For all of you who have family members who babysit regularly: Go kiss those people on the mouth. Immediately. I don't care if they don't follow your routine or let your kids juggle knives on a regular basis. You have hit the jackpot. Enjoy the quirks.
9. Kids are disgusting. And it isn't just boys. Why my daughter feels the need to stick her hand inside her butt crack, why my son always has an entire day of boogies dried across his face and why, when they're in a public restroom, they both must touch every single surface, most often with their tongue, is beyond me.
10. Every time you think you've got the hang of it, you can expect a change. As soon as I think I can wrestle these two in a manageable fashion, they reach a new milestone. It's exhilarating. It's incredible to watch. And it's exhausting.
Would I trade it? Most days, no. Now I have to go get the peanut butter out of my ear.
What things weren't you expecting as a parent?

The former spin chief, who famously told Tony Blair: "We don't do God", said that on the eve of his appearance a supporter emailed him Psalm 56.
The psalm, which attacks those who "twist" the words of others, gave him comfort on a day when he was again in the media spotlight.
Mr Campbell quoted it on his blog, adding: "I never detected a death plot among the British media, but the rest of it sums up the Westminster lobby to a tee."
He revealed he was "amazed how many people, though they thought they know I don't do God, sent me passages from the Bible."
Mr Campbell said "We don't do God" when he stopped Mr Blair from talking about his faith in an interview with Vanity Fair to mark his 50th birthday.
No 10's anxiety to avoid religious rhetoric during the Iraq war was underlined when Mr Blair prepared a TV address on the invasion's eve. He told staff: "I want to end with 'God bless you.'" But this sparked a revolt by advisers and he dropped the line. Mr Campbell also once told Mr Blair not to mention God in a TV broadcast because it would sound too American.

JFLA Lecture Series 14
new visions of japanese studies at ucla
What does it mean, today, to devote an academic career to the study of Japan? This and other questions came to the fore last month when UCLA professors Katsuya Hirano and Professor Michael Emmerich gave a public talk at the Japan Foundation, Los Angeles. Both have newly joined the faculty of the school's Paul I. and Hisako Terasaki Center for Japanese Studies, appointments enabled by a three-year $150,000 grant, totaling $450,000, from the Japan Foundation. After an introduction by architect and Terasaki Center Director Hitoshi Abe, with questions and moderation provided by Associate Director Seiji Lippit, Hirano and Emmerich discussed their recently published books, how they came to the field of Japanese Studies, and how they conceive of the field's substance and relevance in an era when Japan itself has long passed the time when its postwar bubble economy set off a wave of international interest in the country and its culture.
Despite its recent years of lower global profile, Japan still offers a rich subject to anyone engaged in social, historical, and aesthetic research. Hirano and Emmerich demonstrated this by telling us about the new scholarly volumes they've published. Hirano's The Politics of Dialogic Imagination: Power and Popular Culture in Early Modern Japan examines the regulation of street-level popular culture in Edo (today's Tokyo) as aggressively attempted by Japan's mid-19th-century Tokugawa shogunate just before the radical modernization of the Meiji period. Emmerich's The Tale of Genji: Translation, Canonization, and World Literature looks a bit further back to tell his story, the story of Japanese literature's — and indeed, world literature's — very first novel, focusing on its variously modified versions published from the 1830s all the way to the 1950s, giving special attention to the bestselling ribald adaptation and parody Nise Murasaki inaka Genji (A Fraudulent Murasaki's Bumpkin Genji).
Hirano described his adolescence amid the Japanese bubble of the 1980s, and that society's "enormous optimism" which he and many of his fellow students, tormented by its attendant "intense competition," didn't share. Troubled by what he saw as his culture's "complacency" in the present, he turned his attention to its past. The American-born Emmerich told of coming to Japanese Studies in a "random way," which began with a childhood vow to learn seven languages, one to speak each day of the week. As early as fourth grade, he decided to make Japanese one of them, a choice that offered a "conveyor belt away from what I knew." In conversation about the future of their field, both professors showed their own kinds of optimism, though felt for different reasons.
Hirano spoke of the "crucial moment" historians now face, the time having come to stop looking at the events of the past from the traditional but too-limiting framework of nations, considering instead the "movement and circulation, of ideas, people, and goods." Emmerich, admitting that he "sees things differently," thinks modern Japanese Studies, according to the academic mission of "preserving a space for 'uselessness'," would do to pursue ostensibly obscure or esoteric subjects: "You never know," he said, "when the stuff that 'doesn't' matter will matter." And both made a point of how much they've already learned from their young UCLA students, given the savvy they've shown about vast swaths of Japanese culture, especially recent popular culture, into which they themselves had never looked deeply. Many of them will no doubt go on to take the field in directions that nobody — not in the Meiji period, not after the Second World War, not in the bubble, and not now — could predict.

This invention relates generally to PCMCIA cards and particularly to an improved PCMCIA card frame, connector and cover assembly for reinforcing the top panel of the cover assembly, insulating the top cover panel from electrical ground elements carried by the card, and closing the gaps between the connector and the top cover panel.
Many of today's laptop, notebook, desktop and other computers, as well as computer peripherals and other electronic products are designed to receive removable devices or cards, conforming to standards established by the Personal Computer Memory Card International Association (PCMCIA). These standards define the electrical and physical specifications of the card, including the interfaces between the card and the port or slot into which the card is inserted, as well as three card form factors, called Type I, Type II and Type III. PCMCIA cards may be used for various purposes. For example, they can be used as a communications link for connecting mobile and remote portable computer users to corporate networks, the Internet and other on-line services from a wide variety of locations; to supplement the semiconductor memory of a personal or notebook computer; or to store information or data for use by the host system; or for reconfiguring the host system in response to information stored in the card.
PCMCIA cards typically include a substrate in the form of a printed circuit board (PCB) carrying electronic components including integrated circuit packages. The PCB is attached along one edge thereof to a multiple connector typically including a connector of molded plastic having multiple contacts for electrically connecting the card to the host system by way of a port or slot. A typical PCMCIA card further includes a molded plastic, insulative frame and a sheet metal cover including upper and lower cover panels enclosing the PCB and having forward margins secured to upper and lower surfaces of the plastic connector.
With the adoption of the PCMCIA low voltage, 32-bit bus mastering interface ("CardBus"), spurious ground line signals and increased electrical noise levels were encountered. To address these problems, an extra ground return in the form of a ground plate was added to the top surface of the connector. This ground plate has upwardly projecting bumps which engage ground contacts on the host computer and rearwardly extending leads connected to ground traces on the PCB. In accordance with the prior art, in order to accommodate the ground plate, a cutout is provided in the front margin of the top cover panel. A gap between the ground plate and the edges of the cutout is provided in an effort to preclude contact between the cover panel and the ground plate or the ground plate leads. However, because no support is provided for the front margin of the top cover panel cutout, the front, unsupported margin of the cover panel can be pressed down which can cause unwanted electrical contact between the cover panel and the ground plate leads, and which can also result in damage to the cover panel. Moreover, the gap between the rear of the connector and the edge of the cover panel cutout exposes some of the internal structure of the card and, from a product design standpoint, is aesthetically unattractive.
Broadly, in accordance with the present invention, there is provided a PCMCIA card structure that fully supports the top cover panel, prevents the top cover panel from contacting the connector ground plate or the leads extending from the ground plate, and closes off the gap between the connector and the front edge of the top cover panel.
More specifically, in accordance with one embodiment of the present invention, the ground leads extending rearwardly from the ground plate are so shaped to allow a frame cross beam, molded as an integral part of the plastic, insulative frame, to fit between the ground leads and the top cover panel. This allows the cross beam of the frame to support the forward margin of the top cover panel, insulate the top cover panel from the ground plate leads and close off the gap between the back of the connector and the front edge of the top cover panel. Moreover, the transverse length of the ground plate is shorter than the transverse length of the connector thereby exposing a shoulder surface along the upper surface of the connector adjacent each end of the connector Laterally spaced tabs extending forwardly from the front margin of the cover panel overlap, and are bonded to, the upper end shoulder surfaces of the connector.
Further objects, advantages and features of the invention will become evident from the detailed description below when read in conjunction with the accompanying drawings in which:
FIG. 1 is a perspective view of a PCMCIA CardBus LAN card in accordance with one embodiment of the present invention, along with a portion of a portable computer having a slot for receiving the card;
FIG. 2 is an exploded perspective view of a portion of the front of the card of FIG. 1 as seen from the top;
FIG. 3 is a top plan view of a subassembly of the card, the subassembly comprising the front connector block and ground plate;
FIG. 4 is a top plan view of the subassembly of FIG. 3 showing the subassembly attached to the frame of the card;
FIG. 5 is a top plan view of the front portion of the card along the lines of FIG. 4, showing the top cover panel in place;
FIG. 6 is an exploded perspective view of the portion of the front of the card shown in FIG. 2, as seen from the bottom;
FIG. 7 is a bottom plan view of the subassembly of FIG. 3;
FIG. 8 is a bottom plan view of the subassembly of FIG. 7 showing the subassembly attached to the frame of the card;
FIG. 9 is a bottom plan view of the front portion of the card along the lines of FIG. 8, showing the bottom cover panel in place;
FIG. 10 is a cross section view, in elevation, of the front portion of the card of the invention, as seen along the line 10--10 in FIG. 5; and
FIG. 11 is a cross section view, in elevation, of the front portion of the card of the invention, as seen along the line 11--11 in FIG. 5.
It will be evident to those skilled in the art that although the invention is described herein with reference to an Ethernet LAN (local area network) communications card conforming to certain PCMCIA size and interface standards, the invention can be applied to cards complying with other PCMCIA size and interface standards and for performing other functions. For example, the card can serve as a modem or can combine LAN adapter and modem functions. Accordingly, the appended claims are not intended to be limited to PCMCIA cards of any specific form factor, interface or function.
Referring first to FIG. 1, there is shown a generally rectangular Ethernet LAN communications card 10 incorporating the present invention. The card 10 conforms to the PCMCIA Type II (5 mm thick) and 32-bit CardBus interface standards. FIG. 1 also shows a portable host computer 12, for example, a notebook computer, having a PCMCIA port or slot 14 for receiving the LAN card 10.
Disposed along a front or forward transverse end 16 of the card 10 is a connector 18 designed to be removably coupled to a corresponding pin connector (not shown) within the slot 14. The connector pin assignments are established by the PCMCIA 32-bit CardBus interface standard. As will be described in greater detail below, a metal ground plate 20 is attached to the upper surface of the connector 18. The ground plate 20 includes ground contacts in the form of a linear array of bumps 22 projecting upwardly from the ground plate and adapted to engage corresponding ground terminals within the host computer when the card 10 is fully inserted in the slot 14. The ground plate supplements the existing ground lines and serves to eliminate spurious ground signals (including "ground bounce") and noise. (It should be noted that terms such as "top", "bottom", "upper", "lower", "vertical", and the like, are used herein only to facilitate the description of the structure of the card illustrated; it will be evident that the card may be used in any orientation.) The card 10 further has parallel, longitudinally extending sides 24, 26 and a transversely extending rear end 28. The rear end 28 of the card 10 has an input/output port for receiving a plug 30 on one end of a LAN adapter cable 32 for coupling the thin card 10 to a much larger, standard LAN receptacle or jack connected to an Ethernet network. The other end of the adapter cable 32 is thus provided with a standard male connector such as an RJ-45 modular plug (not shown). In this fashion, the card 10 and adapter cable 32 permit the personal computer 12 to be electrically and physically interfaced with an Ethernet LAN.
Turning now also to FIGS. 2-11, the card 10 includes, besides the front connector 18, a molded plastic frame 40, an electronic component substrate in the form of a printed circuit board (PCB) 42 supported by the frame 40, and a sheet metal cover comprising upper and lower cover panels 44 and 46, respectively. The PCB 42 supports integrated circuit and other electronic components, such as the components 48 shown schematically in FIGS. 10 and 11, for carrying out the LAN communications function, all as well known in the art. The PCB 42 has a forward terminal section 50 comprising a plurality of conductive traces which may have a standard spacing or pitch; the traces are connected to the various electronic components 48 carried by the PCB 42. The front connector 18, made of molded plastic, includes upper and lower transverse rows of longitudinally extending holes 52 each containing a contact for receiving a corresponding pin of the male connector on the host system. Each connector contact includes a rearwardly extending contact finger 54 soldered to an associated conductive trace on the terminal section 50 of the PCB 42. In accordance with the PCMCIA standard, the connector 18 has 68 contacts arranged in two rows of 34 contacts each, with the four end contacts (corresponding to pin Nos. 1, 34, 35 and 68) being assigned ground potential. The connector 18 further includes an upper, horizontal, planar surface 56, opposite ends 58 and 60, and a rear transverse side 62 from which the contact fingers 54 project. overlying the upper surface 56 of the connector 18 is a main portion 66 of the metal ground plate 20. The main portion 66 of the ground plate 20 is shorter than the connector 18 so that opposed extremities 68 and 70 of the main portion 66 of the ground plate lie inwardly of the ends 58 and 60 of the connector 18 so that end shoulders 72 and 74 of the upper surface 56 of the connector 18 are exposed. As already mentioned, the main portion 66 of the ground plate 20 further includes a linear array of bumps 22 (eight in number in the example shown in the drawings) which engage ground potential contacts within the card-receiving slot 14 of the host system 12 when the card 10 is fully inserted. The main portion 66 of the ground plate 20 may also include a rear, cantilevered margin 75. Further, a rear, horizontal, transverse ledge 76 extends rearwardly from the margin 75 of the main ground plate portion 66. As best seen in FIGS. 10 and 11, the ledge 76 and margin 75 of the ground plate 66 are joined by an offset 78 so that the plane of the ledge 76 is below the plane of the main portion 66 of the plate 20. The ledge 76 further has ends 80 and 82 captured by recesses 84 and 86 formed in the connector 18 adjacent the connector ends 58 and 60 to help secure the ground plate 20. Extending rearwardly from a rear, transverse edge 88 of the ledge 76 is a plurality of ground spring contacts 90. In the example under consideration, eight (8) ground spring contacts 90, in longitudinal alignment with the bumps 22, are utilized. Each contact 90 comprises a horizontal, longitudinally extending portion 92 terminating in an arcuate tail 94 that engages a ground plane trace on the PCB 42. Thus, the combination of the connector 18 (including the contact fingers 54) and the ground plate 20 (including the ledge 76 and the ground spring contacts 90) may be viewed as together comprising a connector assembly that may be fabricated as a unit for attachment to the frame 40.
The generally rectangular, frame 40 comprises an integral, unitary structure molded from insulating plastic. The frame 40 includes longitudinal, parallel side rails 100 and 102 maintained in spaced apart relationship by cross beams molded integrally with the side rails 100 and 102. In this connection, the frame 40 includes a forward cross beam 104 and a rear cross beam (not shown). The frame side rails 100, 102, the forward cross beam 104 and the rear cross beam define a central, open space 106 occupied by the PCB 42. The frame side rails 100 and 102 include forwardly directed projections 108 and 110 having inner grooves 112 and 114 for mateably receiving lugs 116 and 118 on the ends of the connector 18 to secure the connector 18 to the frame 40.
The cross beam 104 includes upper and lower horizontal surfaces 120 and 122, respectively. Extending forwardly from the upper surface 102 of the cross beam 104 is a rectangular flange 124 having a transverse length equal to that of the main portion 66 of the ground plate 20. Thus, the flange 124 has longitudinally extending end edges 126, 128 in alignment with the ends 68 and 70 of the ground plate portion 66. The flange 124 further has an upper surface 130, a lower surface 132, and front and rear parallel, transverse edges 134 and 136, respectively. The front edge 134 of the flange 124 is positioned parallel with and behind the rear transverse side 62 of the connector 18, thus defining a transverse slot 138 between the flange edge 134 and the connector side 62. As best seen in FIG. 11, the vertical thickness of the flange 124 is approximately equal to the depth of the ledge offset 78 and the forward portion of the flange 124 overlaps, in the longitudinal direction, the offset ledge 76. It will thus be seen that the offset 78 extends through the slot 138 and the ledge 76 extends under the flange 124 so that, in combination with the rear margin 75 of the ground plate 20, the slot 138 is closed off. Further, the upper surface 130 of the flange 124 is approximately coplanar with the upper surface of the main portion 66 of the ground plate 20, thereby presenting an aesthetically appealing appearance. The front portion of the lower surface 122 of the cross beam 104 is provided with a series of longitudinal channels 140 in alignment with the ground spring contacts 90. As best seen in FIGS. 3, 8 and 11, the horizontal part 92 of each ground contact 90 is received by one of the channels 140.
The top sheet metal cover panel 44 has a forward margin 142 including a central, forward transverse edge 144 extending between the inner edges 146, 148 of a pair of laterally spaced, generally rectangular, forwardly projecting side tabs 150, 152. With reference particularly to FIG. 5, the forward edge 144 of the top cover panel 44 has a transverse length approximately equal to that of the main portion 66 of the ground plate 20. The side tabs 150 and 152 overlie and are bonded to the end shoulders 72, 74 of the upper surface 56 of the connector 18 and to the projections 108 and 110 extending from the front end of the frame 40. The forward edge 144 of the top cover panel preferably terminates in a lip 154 that engages the upper surface 120 of the cross beam 104 and extends along the rear edge 136 of the flange 124. The rear edge 136 has a height approximately equal to that of the thickness of the sheet metal cover panel 44 so that the upper surface of the lip 154 is flush with the upper surface 130 of the flange 124. Further, the combination of the flange 124, the ledge 76, the offset 78 and the rear ground plate margin 75, are effective to close off the space 139 (FIG. 10) between the forward edge 144 of the top cover panel and the rear side 62 of the connector 18.
The sheet metal cover panel 46 has a forward margin 47 bonded to the lower surface of the connector block, generally in accordance with existing PCMCIA card design.
It will thus be appreciated that in accordance with the present invention, the ground leads extending rearwardly from the ground plate are so shaped to allow a frame cross beam to fit between the ground leads and the cover. This in turn allows the cross beam of the frame to support the forward margin of the top cover panel, insulate the top cover panel from the connector ground elements and close off the space between the rear side of the connector and the forward edge of the top cover panel. Moreover, because the ground plate is shorter laterally than the connector thereby exposing end shoulders along the upper surface of the connector, forwardly extending end tabs on the top cover panel overlap, and are bonded to, the exposed end shoulders of the connector and forwardly extending frame projections.
While the present invention has been described with reference to particular illustrative embodiments, the scope of the claimed invention is not intended to be restricted to those embodiments. It will be appreciated that those skilled in the art can change or modify the described embodiments, or substitute equivalent structural elements, without departing from the scope and spirit of the invention as defined in the appended claims.

Sklar's theorem derived using probabilistic continuation and two consistency results
Olivier Faugeras
Journal of Multivariate Analysis
vol. 122, August 2013, pp. 271–277
Olivier Faugeras, "Sklar's theorem derived using probabilistic continuation and two consistency results", Journal of Multivariate Analysis, vol. 122, August 2013, pp. 271–277.
We give a purely probabilistic proof of Sklar's theorem by using a simple continuation technique and sequential arguments. We then consider the case where the distribution function F is unknown but one observes instead a sample of i.i.d. copies distributed according to F: we construct a sequence of copula representers associated with the empirical distribution function of the sample which convergences a.s. to the representer of the copula function associated with F. Eventually, we are surprisingly able to extend the last theorem to the case where the marginals of F are discontinuous.

Second family cruise
Sail Date: June 11, 2016
Reviewed: 1 year ago
Traveled As: Family (young children)
Room Type: Balcony
We had such a wonderful time that we already booked our next cruise onboard. Our cruise was perfect but I'll try to be helpful to others. The ship constantly shook while underway. While this was a non-issue for us, it may bother others. Had FTTF so embark and debark were easy but it looked like a nightmare for others. Had two ship excursions (Dolphin Swim and Las Caletas) and one off ship (Mazatlan ATV). Next cruise is 9 months out but FTTF is sold out already and embark, debark and tenders are so bad the wife is thinking about cancelling.

|Cabin / Stateroom
|Got a normal balcony. Reviews complained about the size. While you can't lay out, the wife and I (I'm 6'6" 300lbs) enjoyed coffee every morning sitting on the balcony. We all used it more than I thought we would.
|Embarkation and Disembarkation
|Good for FTTF but really horrific for everyone else.
|Ship Quality
|Ship was clean but it's layout was terrible. There were fewer people on this cruise than my 4 day cruise yet you were always fighting through the lines to get anywhere. Seemed like we were always going the length of the ship.
|Destinations and Excursions
|Had an excursion at all 3 ports. Ship excursions were nice but your still with a crowd. Book Mazatlan online and it was awesome. Away from main crowd but we had police escorts so you felt safe. Everywhere had excursions for sale on the pier when you get off. For price and excitement I recommend trying that.
|Onboard Activities
|Not a lot going on. 9 hole mini golf was crowded. Pools are crowded. You'll need to push/ scoot yourself down the disappointing water slide. Serenity decks are kind of a joke as that's where drunken 21 year olds want to go to whoop it up. Arcade was expensive and a waste of money.
|Children's Programs
|7 year old loved camp carnival. He met new friends and ate a couple of meals with the kids.
|Enjoyed comedy (with and without my 7 year old) and was pleasantly surprised with a couple of musical shows. Lounge singers alternated stages and 2 were good, 2 not so good (okay they were awful).
|Service and Staff
|Pleasant crew everywhere. Room steward made sure he knew all our names and would greet us every time he saw us in the passageway. Get a bucket of ice from room service and cabin steward kept it filled the entire cruise.
|Food and Dining
|Dining room dinner 3 times all excellent, Steakhouse one night which is definitely worth it, and buffets the rest which were a lot better than my 4 day cruise. Sea Day brunch in dining room is a must.

Click table then swipe to view all columns.
|Long Beach (Los Angeles), California
|Cabo San Lucas, Mexico
|Dolphin Swim was pricey but worth it for a one time thing. Negotiate on your picture price.
|Mazatlan, Mexico
|Use http://www.mazatlantours.org/ and book the ATV Beach and Backcountry tour.
|Puerto Vallarta, Mexico
|Las Caletas is pretty fun but popular. Good photos but stand firm on a price and you'll get them for $10 (they want $60) by the time you get back to the ship.
Stay near the elevator. Reviews in general say that's a noisy area but the way Carnival is set up, the elevator lobbies are isolated from the passageways.

About MeBellegris is the brainchild of Sydney based fashion designer, Sarah Doblo.
