The invention herein disclosed deals with electrical connectors, and more specifically, the invention involves connectors for joining circuit boards to other electronic components such as other circuit boards.
Printed circuit boards ("PCBs") are widely used in a broad range of products in commerce, examples of which are radios, televisions, VCRs, watches, timers and computers. The printed circuit boards come in a wide array of sizes and shapes.
Printed circuit boards, as well as other electronic components, in many instances are electronically joined through connectors. The components are typically interconnected to define a given function through a printed circuit board having contact pads complementary to pads of the components to which printed circuit board is to be joined.
Connectors are manufactured with distinct needs in mind. Some examples of special needs will be set forth below, with the invention herein described addressing some of these needs.
Connectors are manufactured with distinct requirements of contact force ranging from low closure force, to intermediate force, to those requiring rigorous application in the form of a coil spring. Special needs such as environment of use, vibration and stress must be kept in mind. Some special needs require that the connector be soldered to pads on the printed circuit board to insure that vibration or rough usage do not disrupt the connection.
In an effort to produce extremely high speed computers the size of the electronic devices used therein has become more miniaturized, so that now there is a need to provide a means to connect an extremely large number of contacts in a small space. Space considerations are of importance and it is generally desirable to engineer as many circuit boards as possible in a minimum amount of space.
The connectors can be formed, depending upon need, of materials such as stainless steel, beryllium, copper, phosphor bronze as well as various alloys thereof. On the contact points, finishes such as gold over nickel and finishes providing low resistance may be employed.
Recognizing the need to eliminate parts and components in electronic devices and the need to conserve space involved with printed circuit boards, as well as, the need to develop dependable connectors, efficiently, reliably and economically, the inventors have produced the connectors and the method of using the connectors of this invention.
Various connector designs are exemplified in U.S. patents.
U.S. Pat. No. 5,234,353 to Scholz et al is directed to an assembly of matable connectors having a plurality of signal contacts having a front contact surface which extend transversely of the connector's mating face to a free end. The patent to Scholz et al has an advantage in that the mating surfaces interface with low mating force allowing for long-term durability.
Chandler in U.S. Pat. No. 4,264,114 teaches an electrical connector assembly having an elongated main body with multiple rows of conductive leads. The Chandler device allows for the connection of two circuit boards within a connector. The connector is so fashioned as to be able to supply contact connections as well as support between the printed circuit board and the connector.
A connection system for printed circuit boards is described in U.S. Pat. No. 4,715,820 to Andrews et al. The disclosed connection system is designed to electrically interconnect circuits on a PCB mother board with PCB circuits on a daughter board. The boards are interconnected through a connector.
U.S. Pat. No. 3,107,961 to Hahn et al discloses a system for PCB connection wherein the connectors are fashioned so as to firmly secure the printed circuit board in the connector. The device disclosed by Hahn et al is designed to securely position the PCB into the connector. The device is designed to firmly secure the PCB taking into consideration variance of the thickness of PCBs, and does this by the use of a hinged connector which sandwiches and locks in place a PCB.
None of the printed circuit boards and joining connectors of the prior art show connection to both sides of the printed circuit board with a pair of symmetrical connectors.
The present invention has as an object the preparation of an improved edge-mountable connector for circuit boards.
Another object is to produce a connector which when employed will efficiently use and conserve board space on the PCB because both sides of the PCB are to be used.
A further object is to provide a connector which will produce reliable connections with the circuit board.
A still further object of the invention is to produce a PCB connector of simple, but efficient design, with the parts easy to assemble and easy to disassemble.
An important object of this invention is the elimination of the need to manufacture and to carry in inventory parts of different design. This object is accomplished by the use of two electrical connectors, one for the top surface and one for the bottom surface of the PCB, and which are identical.
The present invention relates to an edge mountable connector using electrical connectors for mounting on both sides of a circuit board, such as for board-to-board interconnection. In its broadest aspect the disclosed invention relates to an electrical connector comprising an elongated main body portion provided with a front surface, a rear surface and a bottom surface, with the rear surface defining half of the mating face of the ultimate connector assembly, and the bottom surface defining the mounting face. Conductive leads or contact members are carried transversely through said elongated main body portion forming electrical contacts, namely, surface mount leads projecting from said front surface; and butting contact sections, projecting from said rear surface.
The bottom surface of said elongated main body is provided at one end with a latching means or fastener and at the other end a recess. The recess is of such size and shape as to be able to receive that portion of a latching means which projects through an aperture and over the surface of a printed circuit board when a second electrical connector configured like the first is affixed to the opposite surface of the printed circuit board. The latching means or fastener may be a bifurcated cylindrical projection depending from the bottom surface through the board aperture and include a latch on one of the tines that latches onto the remote board surface with the tine preferably being accessible from the side of the connector for engagement such as by a simple tool to be deflected toward the other tine to permit insertion and withdrawal through the aperture while cooperating with the PCB aperture to align the surface mount leads with corresponding pads of the PCB. Preferably the projection is molded integrally to the body of the connector.
In a special embodiment of this invention the fastener has but a single tine which contains said latch and is deflectable to permit insertion and withdrawal of said projection from the aperture of the PCB.
The number of contact members carried by the main body portion is not critical. The number of contact members envisioned is at least one and should be the number of leads required to make contact with pads on the PCB to which the surface mount leads will be soldered. When a multiple number of leads are employed they can form a regularly spaced array and for example may be joined to a carrier strip defining a lead frame and then insert molded within the main body portion after which the carrier strip is removed, all of which facilitates handling and fabrication.
The circuit board employed in this invention is provided with contact pads for the top and bottom surfaces of the PCB proximate a selected edge, joined to circuit traces of the PCB. Along the selected edge of the PCB are two apertures running from the top surface to the bottom surface of the PCB near the surface pad arrays. The apertures at the edge of the printed circuit board are positioned at a distance which will allow each aperture to be opposite the latching means and recess of a respective electrical connector. This allows each electrical connector latching means to extend through a respective aperture to be received in an opposite electrical connector recess. The size and position of the apertures are such that the latching means will fit snugly therein. Thus, the electrical connector surface mount leads will be correctly positioned for soldering to PCB pads, and the butting contacts will be in a proper position for making contact when inserted into an electronic device.
In use, a first electrical connector (as above described) is affixed to a top surface of a printed circuit board (as above described) such that the latching means projects through a first aperture at the edge of the top surface of said PCB and latches onto the bottom surface of the PCB. A second electrical connector configured like the first electrical connector is inverted, reversed and affixed by its latching means to the bottom surface of the printed circuit board through a second aperture at the edge of the PCB. Each latching means projects over the top or bottom surface of the PCB and is received within a recess of its opposite affixed electrical connector.
Once the first and second electrical connectors are in place the surface mount leads can be soldered to surface pads or contacts on the PCB. With the soldering finished the board-to-board sandwich connector is ready for installation into an electronic device. The surface mount leads are resilient and can accommodate any unevenness of the PCB surface and assure proper contact. In final assembly contact sections extend from the rear surfaces of the elongated main body portions of both connectors and angularly surround the edge of the printed circuit board in an alternately staggered relationship (herein termed "butting contacts") and are disposed across the mating face of the connector assembly.
The electrical connector is unique in the design of the recess and in the design of the latching means.
The recess is designed with an opening which allows access to the latch on the latching means. If the connector has to be replaced, the latch is accessible through the opening in the recess and can be released for removal of the connector. The recess is also dimensioned so as to snugly retain the latching means. This snug fit aids in the positioning of the surface mount leads for soldering to the PCB pads.
The latching means has a special design. It is dimensioned so as to fit snugly into the aperture of the PCB and to also fit snugly into the recess. The latching means is supplied with a lengthwise split or bifurcation which allows for lateral flexibility to release the latch of the latching means. When the connector is to be removed from the PCB, the latch is forced in at the split, the latch is released and the connector can be lifted and removed. Of course, a latching means without a latch, and being held by friction could be designed; however, a friction fit may effect a less secure fit.
Because of the snug fit (close tolerance) between the recess, latching means and apertures, as set forth above, the surface mount leads will be accurately positioned for proper soldering to the PCB surface pads and the butting contacts will be in their proper position for making effective contact with corresponding conductors of another electrical article when inserted into the electronic device.

With reference to FIG. 1 a top electrical connector 1 and a bottom electrical connector 2 sandwiches a printed circuit board 3 there between, and will form the board-to-board sandwich connector 4 of the present invention. Both the top and bottom electrical connectors 1, 2 are substantially identical and are simply properly oriented for mating to their respective surfaces of the printed circuit board 3.
Each connector 1, 2 has an elongated main body portion 5 having a plurality of conductive leads or contact members 6 molded therein. Each contact member 6 projects from the front surface 7 of the elongated main body portion 5 as a surface mount lead 8, and from the rear surface 9 as a butting contact section 10.
The surface mount leads 8 will be soldered to top and bottom pads 11, 12 on the PCB 3. The surface mount leads 8 are resilient and will accommodate any unevenness of the surface of the PCB 3 which might be brought about by, for example, warping of the printed circuit board. The butting contact sections 10 angularly project from the rear surface 9 of the elongated main body 5 of both the top and bottom connectors 1, 2 shown in greater detail in FIG. 9. The butting contact sections 10 in ultimate use will butt and make contact with mating contacts of an electronic device (not shown).
The bottom or board proximate surface 13 of each elongated main body portion 5 of electrical connectors 1, 2 has at one end a latching means or fastener, and at the other end a recess 15. The latching means or fastener is preferably defined by or on a projection 14 molded integrally to main body portion 5 and has a latch 16 and preferably a lengthwise slit 17 (FIGS. 1 and 5) which allows the latch 16 on the latching means 14 to be flexible and to flex allowing the latch 16 to pass by PCB aperture 18 or 19 and latch on to a surface of the PCB 3. To remove a connector 1 or 2 from a PCB 3 the latch 16 on the latching means 14 is forced in, with slit 17 in the latching means 14 yielding, allowing the latch 16 to pass-by aperture 18 or 19 and thus connector 1 or 2 is free to be removed. The recess 15 (FIGS. 1 and 5) has an opening 20 at an end 21 of the elongated main body 5. The recess 15 receives that portion of the latching means 14 which projects over the top surface 22 or bottom surface 23 of the PCB 3. The opening 20 in the recess 15 at the end of the end 21 of the elongated main body 5 allows for access to the latch 16 in the event the latching means 14 has to be released to remove a connector 1, 2 from the PCB 3. Optionally, fastener 14 may be a single deflectable arm so designed to position a latch section to engage the remote board surface when the deflectable arm resiles upon full insertion through the aperture; and the fastener may also be a separate board lock (not shown) affixed to main body portion 5 to depend from bottom surface 13.
On the top surface 24 of the elongated main body 5 are guides 25 which will aid in positioning the board-to-board sandwich connector 4 when installed into an electronic device (not shown).
The printed circuit board 3 has apertures 18, 19 and PCB pads 11, 12 referenced to apertures 18, 19 (FIGS. 1 and 6). The apertures 18, 19 of the printed circuit board 3 are of such a size as to snugly receive the projection 14. The distance between the apertures 18, 19 is such that, for example, one aperture 18 will receive the latching means and the other aperture 19 will be opposite the recess 15. The pads 11, 12 on the surfaces 22, 23 of the PCB 3 are in a staggered relationship and receive the surface mount leads 8 for soldering, which are referenced to latching means 14 and recess 15 of connectors 1,2. Preferably the leading ends of projections 14 include beveled edges facilitating initial receipt into PCB apertures 18,19.
The PCB apertures 18, 19, latching means 14 and recess 15 are all designed to fit snugly (to be of close tolerance) to ensure accurate positioning of the surface mount leads 8 for soldering to the PCB pads 11, 12 and to ensure that the butting contact sections 10 are positioned properly for insertion into an electronic device.
In final assembly (FIGS. 7-9) the connectors 1 and 2 sandwich the PCB 3. The surface mount leads 8 are soldered to the PCB pads 11 and 12. The butting contact sections 10 project from the rear surface 9 of the elongated main body 5 and angularly surround the edge 26 of the PCB 3 in an alternately staggered relationship 27. Once completely assembled the board-to-board sandwich connector can be installed into an electronic device.
FIG. 10 illustrates an alternate embodiment of the present invention in which a single tine 30 of projection 31 contains latch 32 latchingly engaging the remote surface of the PCB upon full insertion, as semicylindrical portion 33 is foreshortened, needing only to enter an aperture of the PCB for obtaining its alignment benefits. Preferably the single tine 30 extends far enough circumferentially to either side of latch 32 to engage inside surfaces of the recess of the opposite connector to engage and hold the recess end of the opposite connector in proper position against rotation about the opposite end, as seen in FIG. 3.
Many advantages are envisioned by the disclosed board-to-board sandwich connector. The fact that the connector sub-assemblies are identical requires a smaller inventory of parts. The board-to-board sandwich connector uses both sides of the PCB which saves board space. This feature is most important in view of the trend toward miniaturization. The sub-assemblies and printed circuit board are made to fit snugly for accurate positioning of the electrical contacts. The open recess is advantageous in allowing for easy access to the latching means for removing the sub-assembly from the PCB. The surface mount leads are flexible to accommodate any unevenness due to warping, etc., of the surface of the PCB and thereby allowing for the proper contact between the leads and the pads.
Obviously, many modifications may be made without departing from the basic spirit of the present invention. Accordingly, it will be appreciated by those skilled in the art that within the scope of the appended claims, the invention may be practiced other than has been specifically described herein.

I would like to draw your attention to a wonderful and what will surely be a controversial contest that was posted to dA a few hours ago. This journal is meant to draw as much attention and dA love as possible to this contest.

Comic Con is an interesting place for the eternal "How a female should look" question to be so boldly reignited, being an environment friendly to cosplayers of all human, animal and other happily cavorting in so many different sizes and shapes.
This post a few hours ago got me thinking about the subject of the female form in pop culture that Jezebel took
Introduction to Polymer ClayPolymer clay is a modeling compound consisting mainly of polymer polyvinyl chloride (PVC) and plasticizes to make it pliable.

Nearly 15 percent of men answered, "I would kind of want to propose" and 16.9 percent said, "It doesn't matter who proposes."
Among the 141 women surveyed, 22 percent said, "I would kind of want my partner to propose; 2.8 percent said they would "kind of want to propose" and 9.2 percent answered "it doesn't matter."
On the surname question, Robnett found 60.2 percent of women were "very willing" or "somewhat willing" to take their husband's name. Only 6.4 percent were "very unwilling" and 11.3 percent "somewhat unwilling." Another 22 percent answered "neither willing nor unwilling."
She also found the adherence to tradition is linked to "benevolent sexism," the assumption of traditional gender roles in which "men should protect, cherish, and provide for women."
"On the surface it looks positive," Robnett said. "The problem is that benevolent sexism contributes to power differentials between women and men. The mindset underlying benevolent sexism is that women need men's protection because they are the weaker gender. Also, people who endorse benevolent sexism tend to support traditional gender roles such as the belief that women should do most of the childcare even if both partners work.
"Both men and women are raised to believe that aspects of benevolent sexism are desirable; it's usually viewed as politeness or chivalry," she said. "This makes it hard for people to challenge, which is unfortunate because research shows it often does a disservice to women."
Robnett enrolled at UCSC for graduate studies to work with psychology professor Campbell Leaper, the paper's second author, after earning bachelor's degrees in psychology and Spanish at the University of Northern Iowa.
"The psychology department at UCSC has a great reputation for innovative research in developmental psychology," Robnett said. "For someone interested in cutting-edge research in gender studies it was the place for me."

A Classic Apartment in Paris
I'll let the pictures do the talking (and the selling) for this incroyable apartment, located in the 16eme near Trocadero. The views are, simply, breathtaking, and if there were ever an excuse to get me into the kitchen (a room I generally ignore) it would be the promise of la Tour greeting me from the window. I love everything about this place, from the floors, to the original mouldings, to even the vintage Louis Vuitton suitcase in the office. Even the stairwell is perfection! My first act though, once I'd moved in and claimed the space as my own, would be to move the desk chair to the other side of the desk so it's facing the window. Who in their right mind wants to sit with their back to Paris? Though now that I think of it, talk about a writing distraction.
Price? An astronomical, never-going-to-be-affordable-except-in-my-wildest-dreams: $9,368,338 / €8.350.000

A Lovely London Home (And a Little Bit of News)
My love of real estate –local, international, fixer-uppers, penthouses, hôtel particuliers I'll never be able to afford– is unrelenting. I scour real estate listings for fun, wrote for a French real estate publication, and am so well-versed in the Parisian market at this point that I'm able to tell you an average price per square foot in almost every arrondissement. On this particular morning, I stumbled across this gorgeous London home and fell madly in love. All that bright white airiness is hard to resist –but of course it comes with a price tag. I know the market in London is among the most expensive in the world (surpassing even Paris in average price per square foot!), but if you want four bedrooms and four bathrooms, spread out over 4,700ft2 in Foggy London town, you'll have to pay almost $10m (£5.9m). For those floorboards alone the price tag is worth it.
Moving closer to home: I've lived in this city my entire life, and it's been nothing short of bonkers to watch the average home price here keep rising. I love Philadelphia because it's always been the affordable, quieter monkey-in-the-middle between New York and DC, but we're catching up, good or bad. I've seen firsthand the effects the gentrification of my current neighborhood is having, and I've had a hard time keeping up with the skyrocketing home prices as a result. I watch enough House Hunters, Selling New York, and Property Brothers (and am married to a guy with an Economics degree) to know that any house is only worth what the market will support, though, and the Philly market is booming. It's exciting, and good for the city, and a few weeks ago I decided, heck, why not get in while the getting's good?
So! In addition to all the other exciting things going on, I've signed up for a real estate license course, and will finally be able to put my love of real estate to good use (after completing 60 credit hours and passing the exam, that is). I have been thinking about this since the very beginning of the year and it seemed like another fitting choice to say "yes" to this year. I don't know when I'm going to find the time to be a real estate agent on top of everything else, but finding out will be half the fun. Wish me luck!

Loving Lately, vol. 5
Tea Tree Oil Face Wash / Seaweed Face Scrub / "The Hotel on Place Vendôme" / "My Paris Dream" / Tee / Sandals / Chair / Steam Mop / Candle
I've made no secret of my disdain for the season everyone affectionately refers to as "the best of the year," while I instead call it "hell." That's right, I'm talking about you, summer. Everyone's all, "I love the sun!" "Woohoo the beach!" and meanwhile I'm over here in the lone patch of shade in the fetal position, scratching at my 38 mosquito bites and trying not to turn into one giant greaseball. I miss winter! I miss the cold and the darkness and scarves! (Yes, I am basically a Scandinavian vampire). I've long relied on two things to make summer a little more bearable, though, at least in terms of my vanity: that face wash and scrub are the antidote to my dreaded summer breakouts. I use the face wash every night, and the tea tree oil really helps soak up all that extra oil. It also feels like you're applying menthol straight to your face, so tingly and refreshing as it feels. I use that scrub once or twice a week just to slough off the inevitable layer of oil build-up. So attractive, I know. Park me in front of an air conditioner and come get me in four months.
Another summer staple? Those sandals! I ordered a pair last year to take with me to Paris and wore them into the ground. I went through two pairs last summer, and this spring ordered a new set to take with us to Italy. Without any breaking in, I walked over 10 miles in them the first day and didn't have a single blister or moment of pain. They are heavenly. I just ordered my fourth pair to finish out the remainder of the season.
I finished "The Hotel on Place Vendôme" last night and loved it. If you're a fan of historical non-fiction, specifically the German occupation of Paris, you should add it your Goodreads list immediately. I just started "My Paris Dream," and so far I'm feeling 'meh' about it. It's all very 'poor little rich white girl' who went to Choate and Princeton and runs off to Paris after graduation to "find herself" on her parent's dime and still finds things to complain about. But, Paris.
And this weekend I completed my descent into domesticity as a Write At Home Wife and bought a steam mop. Mopping is the bane of my existence, which is why I put it off as long as possible and get by solely using Swiffer wet pads. But then I looked at the bottom of a pair of socks and was horrified, so off to Macy's we went (armed with a coupon, of course). It's just natural steam, and it sanitizes up to 99.9% of germs and dirt and bacteria. No chemicals, just water, and oh man did it clean my floors to a squeaky clean shine. I might be looking forward to doing it again today.

This was one of the little things I brought home with me from Paris, and I am obsessed. This candle had been on my Want List for a while, but was consistently out of stock at Barney's. I'd never even smelled it, and I knew I had to have it just on name alone. Bibliothèque. Considering one of my favorite things is the smell of books, a candle that smells like a library–nay, a French library was obviously on my radar. But at $80 (!!), it's a lot more expensive here than it is in Europe, even factoring in the conversion rate.
We stopped into Colette on our second day in Paris, and I made a beeline right to the candles. Success! And now, having had it at home for a while, I can confirm that the scent lives up to my expectations. It's a delicious mix of warm plum and vanilla, and smoky leather like bound volumes. I've only burned out a few times so far because, surprisingly, the throw is almost as strong when not lit. It makes the living room smell incredible just sitting there on the table. And it's pretty.

An Apartment in Paris with Potential
Okay, so perhaps to call this place "an apartment" was being generous; it's more like a construction site, or a prison dungeon out of an Alexandre Dumas novel or something. But that's why I said it has potential. The apartment is on the ground floor of a building along the Quai d'Orléans, right along the Seine, on the Île Saint-Louis. The building dates back to 1639, making it one of the oldest buildings in the city. Don't you love seeing all that old stone, and the original fireplace mantel? Normally at this point I'd highlight its bathroom or number of bedrooms, but, um, aside from the historical details, the main thing this place has going for it is that it's a blank (and dusty) canvas. Though the view ain't too bad, either. The listing encourages you to use your imagination, which frankly isn't all that difficult, given that it's only 335 ft2, or 33m2.
And because real estate is just ridiculous in Paris, this 335 ft2 empty studio can be yours for the totally reasonable price of €485,000. Zut alors!

The Nicest Apartment in Paris
We can all stop searching, I've found the nicest apartment in Paris. Quite the bold statement, I know, but of all the apartments in Paris I've posted over the years, this one is by far my favorite. It doesn't even have views of the Eiffel Tower, or a wrap around balcony overlooking the Seine, and it's not even located in an arrondissement I'd consider in my top five. But! But out of all of those apartments, this one is the nicest I've ever seen. Something about it –the muted tones, the collection of plants, the blue bathroom door, the intentionally peeling wall in the bedroom– just speaks to me on an entirely different register. It feels the most authentically Parisian, despite its lack of classically Parisian views. This apartment is all about the interior, and it is like something out of a dream. I know, I know: there is no geographical cure for unhappiness, but tell me you wouldn't feel instantly perked waking up in that bed? At a cool €735,000 ($800k), it better come furnished, especially because I don't think I'd ever be able to decorate it better than the current owners have. Mon dieu.
I want to thank you each so much for your kind words of support on this post, kiddos. You can't know how much it means to me to have such a rallying group in my corner. Thank you for letting me vent honestly, too; I know blogs are "supposed" to be light and cheery all time, but that would be disingenuous. The fog is starting to thin out a bit for me, and I feel buoyed by your thoughtfulness. Merci beaucoup, mes amies.

An Art-Filled Mansion in Philadelphia
Oh, Philly. The real estate market here is experiencing a rather large boom; there are new luxury high rises popping up left and right, the home values in almost every neighborhood are increasing rapidly, and the city itself has received a host of attention recently. We were ranked the #3 city to visit in 2015 by the New York Times and the #2 Best Shopping City by Condé Nast Traveler. This year we're getting a visit from the Pope, and in 2016 we'll host the Democratic National Convention. For someone as fiercely proud of my hometown and lifelong chosen residence, this shower of attention and praise is well deserved and long overdue.
In addition to my borderline jingoistic hometown pride, I'm also a bit of a loon when it comes to real estate, both at home and abroad. I am always, much to Jamal's annoyance, looking at real estate listings, regardless of the fact that we have no plans to move and lack the sort of income that would make all of the wistful prowling I do come to fruition. This mansion is a prime example. There is no way on god's green earth, at $6m, we will ever be able to afford it, but that tiny detail hasn't stopped me from checking the listing multiple times a week, just to drool a little bit. There are five bedrooms, seven bathrooms (seven!), a catering kitchen, an elevator, and several galleries of art. Galleries. In the house.
It isn't even my style! The art is too…er, new? for my taste, and I do feel a sad tug of longing wondering what the house looked like when it was first built, before all that original character was stripped away in favor of the sleek, charmless modernity. But I have a funny personal association with this place; in 2009 I interviewed with the family, in their kitchen, for a full-time nanny position. The parents were exceedingly nice, and, though I obviously didn't get the job, I've since retained a deep fondness for the house. I was a recent college graduate, released into one of the worst job markets in history, and had thrown my resume at every posting I seemed even remotely qualified for, and a bunch of ones I wasn't. This was one of my first interviews, and I just remembered being awed at the scale of the place and the art, and impressed that people of that level of wealth (I would've been given $65k a year, my own apartment, and annual trips to the Hamptons, to tend to two middle-school aged kids) could take the time to sit in their kitchen and talk to me. I didn't grow up too far from this house, and I live just a few blocks away from it now, but while the mappable distance may be small, I am worlds away from this sort of lifestyle. The mansion is basically a museum, full to the brim of interesting contemporary art. In doing a little digging, I found out this week while readying this post that the owner is an heir to the Tylenol fortune. Ah. It makes sense now, but I never knew the couple's last name at the time; the interview was arranged by a third party private company who handled my background check and ensured a polite discretion on both ends. I wonder where they're moving, and why. I'm curious to see what the new owners do to the place, too.

Our Apartment in Paris
Well, temporarily, anyway.
We're making good progress on accommodations for our upcoming trip to Italy (80 days!), having nailed down where we're staying in Rome for the first few days (I'll share that apartment soon!). We still need to find a place to stay in Florence, Siena, and somewhere in the Tuscan countryside between Florence and Rome (any suggestions, friends?), so naturally I've been devoting all of my energy into finding an apartment to rent in Paris for the last three days of the trip. Bien sûr. I'm nothing if not helpful and focused on the task at hand. We're all set on the bookends of the trip now. After flirting with staying in the 7eme, close to the Musée Rodin, or in the 17eme near Ternes and Parc Monceau again, we couldn't resist the siren call of Montmartre. I don't even know why we tried fighting it. It's where I lived for two months and where we stayed in 2013 when we got engaged. Jamal even stayed there on his own for a few days on a trip back from India. I would've loved to stay somewhere new, find a new little pocket of the city to explore. And we still will, but Montmartre will kind of always be our "home base" in Paris. And when we found this apartment? Well, the decision was made for us. It's the perfect blend of modern and artist's atelier. The windows! The raised dining room! The green tile in the kitchen! The floor tile in the kitchen! The lofted bedroom! I wonder how the owners would feel about us moving in indefinitely?

A Garden Apartment in Paris
Doesn't the term "apartment" denote something quaint and small? What's more, "garden apartment" conjures visions of a precious little studio, facing an interior petit jardin, non? This maison —mansion, truly– defies the simplicity implied in the term "apartment," for there is nothing simple or small about it (including, unfortunately, the €4.8M list price). Located in the 8eme arrondissement, the apartment boasts three bedrooms and two bathrooms, a separate "beautiful artiste workshop", with original chevron floors throughout, and windows so large and so abundant I am at a loss for words. What truly took my breath away is that wonderful, decorative covered balcony with separate winding stairwell, inside the apartment. The current owners have made it a reading nook, which, if I'm not mistaken, is precisely how the Real Estate Gods intended it. I know there's truth to the idea that happiness can only come from within, but I have to contend that it would be fairly unlikely to have a bad day in this place. The windows alone would ensure eternal joy. The listing ends with a one word sentence that most accurately describes this 4700ft² stunner: "Rare." I'll say.
(Did anyone else catch the meat slicer in the dining room? Or were you too busy staring at that fantastic skylight?)

New Night Table
Night Stand / Weathered Gray Wood Stain / Filigree Knobs / Lamp / FLW Picture Frame (similar) / Trinket Bowl / Lip Balm / Eiffel Tower Ring Dish / Diptyque Huiles Précieuses
This little DIY was a long time in the making. On New Year's Eve, my friend Herbie and I went to lunch at IKEA, and then he drove me home after work with this three drawer, unstained wood dresser. I assembled it that evening, as one does on a major party holiday, with the intention of staining it and replacing the knobs that weekend. I was dismayed upon assembly, however, to discover this thing is –and this is as generous as I can be in describing it– a piece of shit. I know I shouldn't have been surprised; for $34.99 I shouldn't have expected much, but I was at least anticipating drawer tracks for the drawers to slide on. I'm glad I followed through on my original plan, because after two liberal coats of weathered gray stain, and six new knobs (on sale when I bought them, $20 total!), it suddenly didn't looks as T-U-R-B-L terrible as it had before.
Because I am a Very Bad Blogger, I unfortunately have no "before" shots to show you, but imagine a dark wood, open box with one shelf, with everything covered in dust. My intention with this night table was to have a dust-free home for everything, and I have to say, visually it looks so much cleaner to not have a jewelry box, various books, half-empty body lotion bottles, and at least six different candles all out in the open collecting dust. Have I mentioned the dust problem yet? DUST.The struggle is real. I bought a new lamp from Pottery Barn, and it casts the most golden, inviting light for when I'm scribbling in my notebook or reading before bed.
DIY Pro-tip: Spring for a decently priced foam brush to apply the stain. I bought the cheapest brush available (I think it was 48¢) and it broke on the second swipe. Rookie mistake!

Next week she will make a move upward over 70 imo..
I am talking about the overall markets.. Not AA
No affect in A/H at all.
This will at worst go sideways from here the next 2 trading days, imo.. I think all sellers are flushed out here. jmho
Nice support to the price.
News on merger seen as good for BABA..
Should be very positive for the share price today!
No way around it I think..
Maybe no rate hike till next year...
Not much more downside possible, imo.. Just wondering if this is flashing on the radar screens of anyone?

News Girl Who Leapt Through Time at Pennsylvania in October
posted on 2008-09-22 14:50 EDT
Bandai Entertainment and Kadokawa Pictures have announced that Mamoru Hosoda's award-winning The Girl Who Leapt Through Time film will play at Milford, Pennsylvania during the Black Bear Film Festival on October 18. The festival in the northeastern corner of the state will screen the film's English language version. The two companies had previously announced that the film's Japanese version will play with English subtitles at Durham, North Carolina on October 6 and at Phoenixville, Pennsylvania (near Philadelphia) on November 24, 26, 28, and 29.
The film updates Yasutaka Tsutsui's classic children's novel about a girl who gains the ability to jump back in time and learns that her choices affect those around her. Yoshiyuki Sadamoto (Evangelion, Nadia - Secret of Blue Water) designed the characters in this 2006 film which has won awards in Japan, Spain, and France. The trailer can be seen here.

About MeI am currently enrolled at a Private University in Fullerton and I'm also on the Women's Volleyball team there. The main reason why I wanted to give modeling a shot was due to the fact I never thought of myself as beautiful, I was simply indifferent. Everyone has beauty, no matter what gender or form they take; but I found neither in myself. Until one day a very good friend forced myself to look into her magic lens, and I was hooked from that moment on.

** I have my ears, one nose ring, and belly button pierced, all can be taken out.
*** I have six tattoos.
- One down my left side, a quote in black and white
- fantasy koi fish (pink blue purple white) on back of left shoulder
- Red rose with thorny vines wrapping around my right ankle
- videogame controllers tattooed on my right hip across.

RICHMOND — Cornerback DeAngelo Hall was driven off the practice field on a cart Sunday morning after landing on his back.
Hall, 30, participated in the beginning of practice prior to leaving midway through. He was helped out of the cart by two Redskins employees and gimped into the practice facility for evaluation.
Coach Jay Gruden said Hall did a somersault during a red-zone drill and landed strangely on his back. He also said Hall could have walked off under his own power, but they drove him off as a precaution.
SEE ALSO: With a Redskins roster spot in his sights, rookie Ryan Grant is all business
Linebacker Brian Orakpo also sat out practice. He said his quad was "hurting a little bit." Gruden called it a thigh contusion.
"A little caution," Orakpo said. "I'm all right."
Wide receivers Pierre Garçon and DeSean Jackson sat out of team drills as they continue to recover from hamstring strains. Gruden thinks Jackson is making progress and could be available for the Aug. 18 preseason game against the Cleveland Browns.
Free safety Ryan Clark and strong safety Phillip Thomas missed all of practice with strained hamstrings.
Defensive end Jason Hatcher, who returned to practice Saturday and was activated from the physically-unable-to-perform list, continued to be held out of team drills as his surgically repaired right knee strengthens.
Tight end Jordan Reed did not attend practice after missing Saturday's session with a stomach virus. Running back Chris Thompson sat out with a sprained ankle and inside linebacker Darryl Sharpton has a high right ankle sprain. Gruden said Sharpton could be out for some time, though Sharpton disputed that idea.
"Yeah, it's kind of one of those day-to-day things, so it shouldn't be anything lengthy or anything that requires anything major," said Sharpton, who injured the ankle in the preseason opener. "It's just a matter of just healing up and just getting better every day."
Running back Silas Redd sat out with a mild ankle sprain. Tight end Mike Caussin (knee) was out for the second consecutive day.
Running back Lache Seastrunk experienced inflammation in the arch of one of his feet, but said that he refused to leave practice.
"I just got to tough it out," Seastrunk said. "It's not killing me. I'm running. I'm still gonna do what I've got to do. I've got to show them I'm tough."
That pleased Gruden.
"It's important for these guys to play through these nagging injuries," Gruden said. "If you can play through it, it's great. He has played through a sore foot the past couple days."

Daily Duties at Jean Pierre Modeling Agency:
I worked part time as a personal secretary for an agent for models. My duties included coordinating casting calls for anywhere from 25-200 models each day. I worked frequently on filing and updating computer files and helping to organize any shows the agent wanted to put on. I was also working elsewhere at the time but I quit because I moved to Texas for a year to take care of my sister's estate while she was in Iraq. When I came back the business had moved out of the area because business increased.
What they like about Jean Pierre Modeling Agency:
Working in an organization that is technologically advanced, creative, and innovative is critical in your assessment of hiring companies. Less important to you are stability of the organization, the length of time an organization has been in business, and the business' plans for the future. You prefer a fast-moving company that will take risks to achieve its goals and objectives. The length of time the company has been in business is irrelevant. Maintaining status quo is unnecessary. You thrive on change, uncertainty and the upside of potential business risks, especially those associated with innovation. Stability for the long haul is not nearly as important as is working in an atmosphere that is charged with a sense of urgency and constant change.

Former Year in Industry student secures Kingsbury Scholarship.
News Source : Former Year in Industry student secures Kingsbury Scholarship.
The Kingsbury Scholarship, provided by Imperial College London, is a ''highly prestigious engineering scholarship, one that holds the most value to students anywhere in the UK. Aimed at bright and dynamic students who ultimately intend on seeking employment in the UK engineering industry''. This year Stephen Laws, former pupil at Ripon Grammar School in Yorkshire and former Year in Industry student, was granted this privilege.
Stephen has spent the last year working for agrichemical company Syngenta during his Year in Industry (YINI) placement. YINI, a paid, 9-12 month industry placement programme provides young people with an opportunity to develop skills and knowledge that employers are looking for, as well as giving students an experience that will help them make the most out of their university course, the placements are also available to students before they begin university too.
Stephen is no stranger to the EDT (Engineering Development Trust), having also participated in both the Engineering Education Scheme (EES) and a Headstart university taster course, prior to his successful YINI placement at Syngenta. The EES is a 6 month real life project, where Stephen was able to develop and test a hand-held sensor probe that dated solidified objects based on their GeoResonance patterns, whilst his Headstart university taster enabled him to attend the University of Cambridge on a Broad Based Engineering course.
By taking part in 3 of the schemes within EDT's continuum Stephen has broadened his opportunities, expanded his skill set and experience, by gaining the hands-on industry experience that so many companies require in the current working climate.
Stephen stated that his experience working at Syngenta "has been fantastic, and has given me a great insight - ahead of embarking upon my course - of the way that the theory we'll be learning in lectures can be practically applied in an industrial setting."
When applying for the Kingsbury Scholarship, Imperial College direct candidates towards The Year in Industry in order for students to gain the minimum 9 months industry experience that it requires. This demonstrates how YINI can make a difference to a young person's future and their career choices.
Why not take a look and see how YINI could put you on the path to success... find out more here.
