Reference is made herein to commonly-assigned, copending U.S. patent application Ser. No. 264,313, filed May 18, 1981 in the names of F. F. Geyer and E. M. Leonard.
1. Field of the Invention
The present invention relates to record medium assemblies useful in high density storage of information by optical writing and/or reading, and more particularly to improved configurations for optical disk assembly retaining rings.
2. Description of the Prior Art
The currently preferred optical disk technology employs disk elements with spiral or concentric tracks of minute (e.g., on the order of a micron or less in size), optically-detectable marks. One real-time mode of recording (writing) such marks is by scanning tracks on the disk with an equivalently small beam of radiation (e.g., from a laser) which is modulated "off or on" according to an electrical signal representative of the information to be written. Information is recovered (read) by scanning the tracks with the same size or only slightly larger, but still very tightly focused, radiation (e.g. light) spot. The recovered information is in the form of a fluctuating electrical signal obtained from a photodetector that senses the read-out light reflected from the recorded disk.
In order to write and read information in the form of such minute markings, optical systems of high numerical aperture are used to focus light to equivalently minute spots. Such optical systems have extremely small depths of focus and the proper positional relation between the writing or reading optical system, and the optical disk record surface must be stringently maintained both smooth and flat.
One approach to achieve requisite smoothness, flatness and protective requirements for high density storage of information is disclosed in commonly-assigned, copending U.S. patent application Ser. No. 264,313, filed May 18, 1981 in the names of F. F. Geyer and E. M. Leonard. In that approach an improved optical disk assembly adapted for high density storage of information comprises (i) a flexible, disk-shaped support carrying a record layer; (ii) a transparent disk-shaped cover sheet opposing the record layer, and (iii) an annular retaining ring for holding the support and cover sheet in tension.
Attachment of the support and cover sheet to the retaining ring should be done such that the tension in the support and cover sheet is substantially circumferentially-symmetric, and such that the tension is held after attachment. The present invention provides for such attachment of the support and cover sheet to the retaining ring and further provides a surface for accurately centering the disk assembly on rotatable receiving structure of optical disk write/read apparatus such that information tracks on the record layer are closely concentric with the axis of rotation of the receiving structure. The greater the amount of eccentricity of the mounted disk assembly, the more difficult it is for the write/read optics to follow the information tracks.
By the present invention, improved tensioning of the support and cover sheet is achieved, and manufacturing operations are simplified. Centering of the disk assembly on the write/read apparatus is enhanced.
An optical disk assembly in accordance with the invention includes a flexible disk-shaped support carrying a record layer. The support has an information storage region. An annular retaining ring engages the annular peripheral region of the support. The support, and preferably a cover sheet, are captured between the outer annular reference ring member and an inner annular reference ring member, the inner ring member being resiliently urged toward the outer ring member. In a preferred embodiment, the inner ring member is resiliently deformed to spring toward the outer ring member. Such deformation may be by stressing the inner ring member into a conical shape.
The invention and its objects and advantages, will become more apparent in the detailed description of the preferred embodiment presented below.
The description of preferred embodiment refers to the attached drawings wherein:
FIG. 1 is a perspective schematic view of an optical disk assembly according to the present invention;
FIG. 2 is a sectional view taken along line 2--2 of FIG. 1;
FIG. 3 is an enlarged, fragmented view of a portion of FIG. 2;
FIG. 4 is a sectional view of the optical disk assembly mounted on optical disk write/read apparatus; and
FIGS. 5-7 are sequential sectional views showing a process for manufacturing the optical disk assembly of FIG. 1.
Referring to FIGS. 1 and 2, an optical disk assembly 10 includes a web assembly 11 having a flexible, disk-shaped support 12 carrying a record 1ayer (and other appropriate layers) on one major surface of the support. The web assembly also includes a continuous, flexible, disk-shaped cover sheet 14 which is substantially transparent with respect to the write and/or read wavelength suitable for use with the record layer. The diameter of cover sheet 14 corresponds generally to the diameter of support 12.
As best seen in FIG. 3, the support and cover sheet are held in spaced relation by an annular retaining ring 16 and spacer 18. The retaining ring engages support 12 and cover sheet 14 substantially continuously at respective annular peripheral portions thereof. The web assembly has a predetermined information storage region radially inwardly of spacer 18. Reference is made to aforementioned U.S. patent application Ser. No. 264,313 for a description of useful and preferred materials and characteristics for the disk-shaped support and the cover sheet.
The web assembly is retained in circumferentially-symmetric tension by cooperating outer and inner annular ring members 20 and 22, respectively, of retaining ring 16 engaging opposed sides of the peripheral region of the web assembly. Although referred to herein as outer and inner ring members, it will be appreciated that only a portion of ring member 22 need be radially inward of a portion of ring member 20.
It is preferred that the cooperative engagement between disk-shaped support 12, cover sheet 14, and retaining ring 16 seal the space between the record layer on support 12 and the opposed surface of cover sheet 14. Although not included in the illustrated embodiments, the optical disk assembly may have a central rigid hub including spacing means for sealing and maintaining proper spacing between the record layer and the cover sheet.
Preferred tensions for the disk-shaped support and cover sheet materials are from substantially zero to just below the elastic limit, or yield point, of those materials. More specifically, the preferred tensions depend upon the desired degree of planarity for the particular member (i.e. size, composition, etc.). It is preferred that support material tension be below the elastic limit of the particular material; however, in certain applications some yield can be acceptable as long as surface planarity remains in the desired tolerance. In general, the tension should be selected with respect to the support material so that the stressed material's continuous relaxation over time (i.e. material creep) is slow enough to insure adequate spacing and planarizing tension throughout the expected product life period.
As best seen in FIG. 3, outer and inner members 20 and 22, respectively, capture support 12 and cover sheet 14 therebetween. The capture is firm because inner ring member 22 has been conically deformed to spring toward abstract surface 23 of outer ring member 20. A method for deforming the inner ring member and assembling the parts will be described below.
Any growth in outer ring 20, due for example to thermal expansion, is compensated for by an expansion in the outer perimeter of inner ring member 22 as the deformation of the inner ring member decreases. This assures that support 12 and cover sheet 14 will remain securely captured between the ring members.
During use, optical disk assembly 10 is mountable on disk assembly receiving structure 24 which forms part of optical disk write/read apparatus. The optical disk write/read apparatus is similar to the various other such apparatus known in the art, and only disk assembly receiving structure 24 which cooperates more directly with the present disk assembly will be described in detail.
Disk assembly receiving structure 24 comprises a turntable 26 adapted for rotation about axis 28 by drive means (not shown). The optical disk write/read apparatus also includes an optics system, represented by lens 30, which is adapted to focus write/read light in a focal plane that is normal to axis 28.
A reference ring locating surface 32 on turntable 26 rotates in a plane substantially normal to axis 28. Locating surface 32 is positioned to be engaged by reference ring 16, which is held on the locating surface by clamps, magnetics, resilient spring force, or other suitable means, depicted schematically in FIG. 4 by force arrows 34. Locating surface 32 has predetermined dimensions with respect to the focal plane of the optics system of the disk write/read apparatus and the axial position of support in reference ring 16 so that the recording layer of a disk assembly located on the turntable will closely proximate a nominal focal plane position of lens 30.
Turntable 26 has a rotatable, conically-shaped spindle 36 mounted for axial movement along axis 28. The spindle is resiliently urged upwardly to engage the inside diameter surface of inner ring member 22 before outer ring member 20 engages locating surface 32 when optical disk assembly 10 is placed over turntable 26. This allows the disk assembly to center itself about the spindle before contact is made between the outer ring member and the turntable. Thus, centering forces need not overcome friction at the outer ring. It is noted that centering from the smaller diameter of the inside of ring member 22 is more desirable than from the larger diameter of ring member 20 because the effect of thermal expansion on the smaller diameter is less than on the larger diameter.
FIGS. 5-7 illustrate a preferred assembly method for manufacture. Referring to FIG. 5, an assemblage including web assembly 11 (with support 12, cover sheet 14, and annular spacer 18) is placed under circumferentially-symmetric radial tension with coaxially aligned ring members 20 and 22 on opposed sides thereof. Note that inner ring member 22 is relaxed and, as such, is planar.
The assemblage is positioned over a fixture 38 having a conical surface 40 and a plurality of hooked fingers, one of which being shown at 42. Fingers 42 are raised through the hole in ring member 22 and hook over the inner edge of the ring member. By drawing the fingers downwardly, the ring member is pulled into the recess in fixture 38 and assumes a conical shape. This stresses the ring member and reduces its outer diameter.
With the outer diameter of ring member 22 reduced in this manner, outer ring member 20 is lowered over the inner ring member while tension is maintained in web assembly 11 (FIG. 6). Hooked fingers 42 are raised, allowing stressed ring member 22 to spring back toward its original, flat configuration until its outer periphery engages an inner surface of ring member 20, and captures web assembly 11 therebetween.
The force from ring member 22 is sufficient to prevent radially inward slippage of the tensioned web assembly, and the web assembly can be trimmed beyond the capture locus. Hooked fingers 42 are now removed, and assembly is complete.
The invention has been described in detail with particular reference to certain preferred embodiments thereof, but it will be understood that variations and modifications can be effected within the spirit and scope of the invention.

Skip to comments.Feds Urge Paramedics, Firefighters To Help Find Extremists
Posted on 07/25/2014 4:54:12 AM PDT by blam
Paul Joseph Watson
July 24th, 2014
The federal government is asking paramedics and firefighters to be on the lookout for extremists as part of a program that aims to uncover suspicious activity.
A bulletin released in March 2014 by the FBI, Department of Homeland Security and the National Counterterrorism Center, obtained this week by Public Intelligence, contains details of a program entitled Emergency Medical Treatment Presents Opportunity for Discovery of Violent Extremist Activities.
The bulletin, which was sent out to firefighters, emergency medical service personnel and other first responders nationwide, encourages these groups to watch for indicators of violent extremist activities during their line of work.
First responders are asked to evaluate whether an injury is a genuine accident or related to violent extremist activity, by noting hastily or expediently treated injuries which may be signs of suspicious activity.
The thought of EMTs becoming distracted by a function which allows them to pretend they have a starring role in CSI Miami, instead of promptly treating someone who is seriously burned, will not fill potential victims of such accidents with much confidence.
(Excerpt) Read more at shtfplan.com ...
The simple solution is to avoid at all costs having anything to do with so-called first responders.
How long before the same type of memo goes out to Schools and doctor's offices, to the staff in the offices? The Fascist are swarming, Amerika.
They will be watching for Bibles, copies of the Constitution, military-style haircuts, NRA stickers, hunting gear, and other warning signs of people who don't worship FedGov.
How did this happen to America???
I just gotsa to be a terrorist.
Get cut, cover with a piece of rag, maybe a dab of grease, and wrap with electric or duck tape to stop the bleeding.
Nobody but a terrorist would do that.
Will they become like the firemen in Fahrenheit 451?
i have always had a healthy suspicion that even the Time Warner guy could be a government agent............
White people with shotguns and rifles that live in the woods? Best to treat yourselves people. Don't let outsiders in you house. You never know these days. I have friends from Poland. Sadly they feel the need to give me some pointers on staying under the radar.
Dude, you are way behind the times.
When I lived in the Bay Area (CA), our pediatrician asked my wife and I at our first post birth check - up if we owned any guns and if they were in our home. My answer was (this is a direct quote, with a minor redaction) "That's absolutely none of your f____ing business, doctor."
That appointment was in February 1994.
(We took the Stars and Stripes down on 1/20/09 and we won't fly it again until at least 1/20/17)
We think the pizza delivery guy is undercover...
Most of the firefighters and paramedics never read this crap. The feds put out stuff like this all the time and in reality compared to the number of "notices" they send few are even read IMO. This stuff is like PSA's that the feds waste billions on telling people not to fall down stairs because *gasp* they could be hurt. LOL.
I'd bet more people read this story about what the government sent out than those that actually read what the government sent:)
Great. Just because I'm prepared and love my Country I'm an extremist? If that marks me as extreme I wear it proudly.
Look near the local mosque.
I think the counter to this kind of intrusion is manifold. First, cultivate conservatives within the EMT community. These folks have seen up close the devastating effects of government's half-baked "solutions." Not all of them will side with the nazis.
Second, create as much "noise" as possible. Overload the system with false data and red herrings. If every time Grandma falls and can't get up, the responders encounter a "terrorist" cell that's a false front, the Gestapo will soon realize that their field intel is worthless.
Then there's always the option of harassing the responders you know are tools of the tyrants. It shouldn't be hard to uncover the ones who have their noses up the Overlords' butts. And being an EMT can be a dangerous job ya know ...
Never mind MS-13 or the Inner-City hoodrats. It's those Patriotic Teabaggers that are deadly!
Gov't is insane and has been for decades.
And how we burned in the camps later, thinking: What would things have been like if every Security operative, when he went out at night to make an arrest, had been uncertain whether he would return alive and had to say good-bye to his family? Or if, during periods of mass arrests, as for example in Leningrad, when they arrested a quarter of the entire city, people had not simply sat there in their lairs, paling with terror at every bang of the downstairs door and at every step on the staircase, but had understood they had nothing left to lose and had boldly set up in the downstairs hall an ambush of half a dozen people with axes, hammers, pokers, or whatever else was at hand?... The Organs would very quickly have suffered a shortage of officers and transport and, notwithstanding all of Stalin's thirst, the cursed machine would have ground to a halt! If...if...We didn't love freedom enough. And even more we had no awareness of the real situation.... We purely and simply deserved everything that happened afterward. Alexandr Solzhenitsyn
shoot you never know
That means not calling 911 in an emergency and may mean the difference between life and death for a loved one. It also means not driving or riding in an Onstar equipped car during which the system is operating. And most general, not being in public and getting into a situation that prompts someone else to call 911 on your behalf.
That's a lot to avoid.
'Thats a lot to avoid.'
Yeah, but, with determination, it can be done.
I got rid of all the the vehicles that could be tracked. Got no close one's near me. I avoid the public like the plague.
I'll tough it out rather than have any of them lay their hands on me.
Ignore the Muzzies, of course.
Yep, I've heard the same thing.
Some of these idiots that live in cities, work behind a desk and think you need a paramedic to take care of a paper cut haven't the slightest clue how the average person in flyover country leads their lives and can take care of themselves without govt assistance.
I remember years ago reading about how many people would actually call 911 for a band-aid.
Don't forget Honorable Discharges.
Ah, but NOW the ruler, through his IRS gestapo, can cut off your healthcare if you do not answer yes or no. And what follows that intrusion is the visit by fedzilla spot checking to make sure you answered truthfully, even though nothing compels fedzilla or anyone in the criminal org of fedzilla to answer ANYTHING truthfully. Fascism needs a means to enforce their rule. Your government controlled healthcare through the already proven criminal IRS is just such enforcement.
My stars and stripes fly upside down ...
I think the renters next door are feds. The men all have crew cuts (three guys supposedly related and a woman) all seem to be fitness nuts. Not social at all. any interaction I have had with the older guys seems like talking to a cop. The youngest guy told me in our one and only conversation "We moved from New york here to get away from the high taxes". I am probably paranoid. But that doesn't mean someone isn't out to get me..:)
"Extremism in the defense of liberty is no vice. And moderation in the pursuit of justice is no virtue."
-Barry Goldwater
Bitter clingers, the lot a ya!
Sounds like a 'safe house' outfit.
Oh definitely. I cling to my Bible and my few remaining guns. The fedzilla wouldn't be interested in a .22 Ruger 1022 or Ruger SR22 Pistol, right? But I shall cling on, stoically.
That actually sounds plausible. The woman living there is seldom outside an when she is she almost goes out of her way to avoid contact. And now the house is back up for rent. they've been there maybe eight months if that. I know not everyone is social with their neighbors but these folks were downright anti social. and the paranoua came from the fact that I am very anti-tax and fedgov and the first thing the young guy tells me is their "reason" for moving in next door (i had no obvious signs of my tea party affiliation outside my home at the time.)
There are men's tampons? :)
Naahhhh .... never happen.
Cats, dogs, AND Goldfish? Oooo, that makes me so mad!
I guess I will never dial 911. Thanks government!
Also, "What?! No bong?! Are you one of those extremists that DON'T smoke pot??!!"

text: I have been having a lot of success with Salamence (Moxie/Dragon Dance), Nidoking and Klefki (dual screens) but I haven't bred anything else yet. Nidoking especially has been a star because it takes Talonflame at least 3 hits to kill it through reflect unless it takes time to setup and nidoking 1 hits it in return with thunderbolt. That and it outspeeds blaziken on the turn before it speed boosts/mega evolves and gets a one hit ko on that too with Earth power (and it can take 2 hits from blaziken through reflect. Incidentally Reflect (light screen less so much) has been extremely important and thus Klefki prankster/light clay reflect has been really useful as a lead because 8 turns seems to be the entire fight most of the time.

'He liked to brag... and describe the murders': Former cagefighter 'killed three prostitutes including one who starred in HBO's Cathouse about life in a Nevada brothel'
Denny Phillips faces six counts of first-degree murder in the November 2009 deaths of two pregnant prostitutes and two other people
A former girlfriend of Denny Edward Phillips, who is accused in the shooting deaths of a pregnant prostitute featured on HBO's 'Cathouse' series and three other people, claimed in court on Friday that he bragged about the murders.
'He liked to brag. When he was
describing the murders, it sounded like bragging,'
Kelsey Day testified on the first day of a preliminary hearing for
Phillips, 34, that will determine whether he is bound over for trial on
six counts of first-degree murder.
Day, who was dating Phillips when the November 2009 killings occurred, said Phillips had provided details of the victims' deaths that made her believe that he was there.
But an inmate testified that Phillips told him that he helped plan the crimes, but he was not present when the killings happened.
victims included 22-year-old Brooke Phillips, who had worked as a
prostitute at the legal brothel Moonlite Bunny Ranch near Carson City,
Nevada, that was featured on HBO. She was not related to Denny Phillips.
The other victims were Milagros Barrera, 22; Jennifer Ermey, 25; and
Casey Mark Barrientos, 32.
Each of the victims was repeatedly shot and stabbed and their bodies set on fire. Phillips faces six counts of murder because Brooke Phillips and Barrera were pregnant when they were killed. He is also charged with conspiracy to commit murder.
He has pleaded not guilty and if convicted could face a death sentence or life in prison.
Investigators allege Barrientos ran a drug and prostitution ring out of a south Oklahoma City house where the victims were killed. Phillips and a second man, David Allen Tyner, 31, allegedly were involved in illegal drug sales with Barrientos and plotted to kill him because they weren't happy with the amount of money they were being paid.
'Cathouse' star Brooke Phillips was 22 years old and pregnant when she was killed
Each of the victims was repeatedly shot and stabbed and their bodies were set on fire. Phillips faces six counts of murder because Brooke Phillips and Barrera were pregnant when they were killed
In May 2012, Tyner pleaded guilty to six counts of first-degree murder and was sentenced to consecutive life prison sentences without the possibility of parole in a plea agreement to avoid a possible death penalty.
Michael Mease, a federal inmate serving time on a weapons charge, testified that he befriended Phillips while both were incarcerated at a federal prison in Terre Haute, Indiana, last year. Phillips was serving a seven-year sentence on charges related to a shootout in Tulsa in April 2010.
'He told me he was involved in the murders,' Mease testified. 'He told me it was over some bad drug business ... he said he wasn't there at the scene, but he was watching closely.'
Other victims in the killing were Jennifer Ermey (left) and Millagros Barrera (right)
Mease, who said he is to be released from prison in October, said he notified authorities of Phillips' statements because Phillips showed no remorse for the deaths of the women in the house, while noting that another man who had been inside the home had escaped when the gunfire began.
'That was unexpected, because everyone in the house was supposed to die,' Mease said. He said Phillips told him they were supposed to leave no witnesses.
He has pleaded not guilty and if convicted could face a death sentence or life in prison
Day, of Pryor, testified she overheard conversations between Phillips and Tyner, Barrientos' bodyguard, in which they plotted to kill Barrientos.
'David Tyner wasn't happy. He wasn't getting paid,' Day said. At one point, Day said, Phillips told Tyner: 'Let's kill him.'
said she didn't report the threat because she didn't take it seriously.
She said she changed her mind a couple of days after the shootings when
Phillips told her 'that they were all dead.'
'He told me that Diablo was dead,' Day said referring to Barrientos' nickname, 'that I need to watch the news.'
She said Phillips claimed that he ordered the victims' deaths and that Tyner actually shot them. But she said Phillips provided details of the victims' deaths that made her believe he was actually there.
Day said Phillips described what it felt like to stab Barrientos and 'how Brook (Phillips) wouldn't die.' Day said he told her Brook was shot, stabbed and burned, 'and she was still screaming.'
Inmate Michael Lujan, who said he also sold drugs for Barrientos, testified that Barrientos had stopped doing business with Phillips about a week before he was killed. He said Phillips owed about $30,000 to Barrientos for drugs and a car he bought from him that he was not making payments on.
'He had gotten too far in debt,' said Lujan, who is serving a sentence on a federal drug charge.
Lujan said Tyner, a former Marine and mixed martial arts fighter, was interested in becoming a member of the Indian Brotherhood prison gang and took orders from Phillips, a gang leader, to gain admission.
'Hooligan basically worked for Phil,' Lujan said, referring to nicknames for Tyner and Phillips, respectively.

A Look Back In Talladega History: The Bandit Steals A Victory
Chalk Harry Gant's victory in the 1991 Winston 500 up to his considerable experience. At 51 years of age and driving the Skoal Bandit car, Harry Gant became, and remains today, Talladega Superspeedway's oldest winner in the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series.
By 1991, Gant had made 24 NASCAR Sprint Cup Series starts at Talladega Superspeedway. Though he had come close to victory in 1984, scoring a second-place finish, he had failed to score a top-five at Talladega in the seven years since that time. However, the wily veteran still had a few tricks up his sleeve.
Showing a mixture of cunning and guile learned through the ages, Gant used conservative driving and fuel-saving drafting techniques to conserve fuel throughout the 1991 Winston 500. In doing so, Gant methodically wore out his opponents to take a 14 second victory over second-place finisher Darrell Waltrip.
Following his win, Gant's career at Talladega Superspeedway was short-lived. Competing in only six more NASCAR Sprint Cup Series events at Talladega Superspeedway after his win, Gant never again recorded a top-five finish and called it quits after the 1994 season.
In all, Harry Gant made 32 NASCAR Sprint Cup Series starts at Talladega Superspeedway with an average finish of 19th.
While he recorded only six top-five finishes throughout his entire NASCAR Sprint Cup Series career at Talladega Superspeedway, on May 6, 1991, Harry Gant showed the world that the "bandit" still had a few tricks up his sleeve.
In 2009, Talladega Superspeedway proudly celebrates forty years of the most competitive racing in NASCAR. While the track has seen changes made to the cars that circle its high-banks, the surface that they race on and the grandstands that thousands of fans fill twice a year, one constant remains; Talladega Superspeedway is authentic NASCAR racing at its finest.
Race fans should make plans now to experience part of Talladega's history in 2009 during the triple-header, Aaron's Dream Weekend, April 24-26, featuring the ARCA RE/MAX Series, the NASCAR Nationwide Series and the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series. For tickets, visit www.talladegasuperspeedway.com or call 1-877-Go2-DEGA. For our hearing impaired guests, please call TDD 1-866-ISC-TRAK (1-866-472-8725). Tickets also are available in person by visiting the Talladega Superspeedway Ticket Office from 8 a.m. - 4 p.m. CDT, Monday- Friday.

Any ideas why we were up so much today?
Insiders may have bought for a change? It will sell off tomorrow when reality sets in that this company is doomed and will untilmately fail.
How can an incumbent LEC fail? They are a utility and will likely be around as long as telephones and data exist. Normally these types of companies are an extremely secure and conservative investment, no? The highs from the $10 days were artificially high from an inflated dividend. Now, the dividend is in line with the industry. They will compete with VZ for wireless and competition usually makes companies better over time. Their fixed line and data biz is mainly a monopoly. Am I missing something?

Published November 04, 2012 12:00 The Czech Republic went into Day 2 of the Fed Cup final with a 2-0 lead, and Petra Kvitova was first on court. Ana Ivanovic had fallen to Lucie Safarova on Day 1, but that loss may have lit a fire under the Serb for Day 2. Ana Ivanovic was on her game, storming out to a 63 52 lead against Petra Kvitova, and finishing it off, 63 75. Ana Ivanovic was congratulated by her team after closing the deficit against the Czech Republic team to 2-1. Lucie Safarova wasn't about to let that 2-1 lead become 2-2, however, on complete fire against Jelena Jankovic. Jelena Jankovic had won five of their six meetings, but this was the first time she was the lower-ranked player. And Lucie Safarova converted on her favorite status, firing from all cylinders to beat Jelena Jankovic, 61 61. Lucie Safarova and Andrea Hlavackova celebrated with a dance they made for Call Me Maybe by Carly Rae Jepsen. Lucie Safarova was rushed by her teammates after scoring the winning point to clinch the Fed Cup title, 3-1. The Czech Republic captured their second straight Fed Cup title, having beaten Russia in the 2011 final, 3-2. The Czech team reflected on their second straight Fed Cup trophy - figuratively and, as you can see, literally. The doubles - Andrea Hlavackova and Lucie Hradecka and Bojana Jovanovski and Aleksandra Krunic - was skipped. Lucie Hradecka, Andrea Hlavackova, Lucie Safarova and Petra Kvitova alongside coach Petr Pala with the trophy.

When learning neuroanatomy or neuroimaging with MRI, it is often helpful to turn away from textbook animations and look at an actual human brain. (Well, you know, images of an actual human brain…) The iSurf BrainView app provides users with access to 3D MRI image stacks through the human brain, from three different perspectives (top-to-bottom, front-to-back, and side-to-side). Using the scroll bar, users can navigate through the stacks, although there is a slight lag when proceeding through the images. The app utilizes the FreeSurfer software program to generate automatic segmentation of the MRI images into different brain regions, which can be highlighted in different colors. Thus, this app can be used as a study tool to learn basic neuroanatomy—the app even includes a quiz feature in which users are asked to identify the highlighted brain region.

Editorial Reviews
Living comfortably in your home is endlessly rewarding, and all it takes is attention and creativity. I'm so convinced that I'm taking Kate's advice on bread baking this very week! (Zora O'Neill, co-author of Forking Fantastic! Put the Party back in Dinner Party)
I am a huge fan of The Hip Girl's Guide to Homemaking! Kate nailed it in this humorous, creative guide for fabulous, chic, and easy-on-the-wallet ideas. It's a joy to read a book that makes you laugh and get great ideas from—another must have for my girlfriends (Kim Barnouin, co-author of the #1 New York Times Bestseller, Skinny Bitch)
The Hip Girl's Guide to Homemaking is a wonderfully insightful, encouraging, non-perfectionist guide for creating a pleasurable home without killing yourself (or the planet). It's full of information your mother forgot to tell you, that will help you live well and sustainably, and have fun in the process. (Sally Schneider, Founder of 'the improvised life' website, author of The Improvisational Cook and A New Way to Cook.)
This should be required reading for anyone with a roof over their heads. You'll find yourself returning to it again and again, whether you're looking for party ideas or which side of the place setting the napkin goes on. (Ashley English, author of the Homemade Living book series and small measure blog)
The Hip Girl's Guide to Homemaking will release your hidden domestic talents. Kate's friendly voice will transform even the most clueless guy or gal into a homemaking marvel. Loaded with smart, frugal, and pragmatic tips, it is the ideal home-life manual for the modern age. (Marisa McLellan, creator of foodinjars.com)
From the Back Cover
With The Hip Girl's Guide to Homemaking, it's possible and even convenient to create an inviting space for living and entertaining on a budget. From unique decor ideas to growing strawberries on your fire escape, Kate Payne shares fun, low-cost (and often free!) creative solutions that will make anyone feel more accomplished in minutes.
Inside this savvy motivational guide filled to the brim with small-scale creative home projects, Kate's tongue-in-cheek tone will keep you tuned in to her much-needed advice. In three easy sections, you'll learn how to create a comfortable space while being time- and budget-conscious. Section One, Home-ify Your Pad, features quick, convenient ways to make your place cozier with low-cost, special touches to help you tap into and show off your inner artist. Section Two, Impressive Acts of Domesticity, teaches how to impress others (and yourself) with the gratifying pleasures of self-sufficiency—a first-time guide to cleaning, sewing, repairing, and other previously out-of-the-question tasks. Section Three, Life After Restaurants, frees you to release the take-out menu, avoid pricey bar tabs, and entertain others in the space you've so thoughtfully and gorgeously created.
User-friendly "how-to" sidebars, illustrations, and tips and tricks throughout the book offer easy-to-follow recipes and do-it-yourself craft suggestions for making your home hip, comfortable, and inviting. Keep in mind that this is not your grandmother's handbook and it's not the kind of wisdom your mom knows how to impart. Modern women need a modern approach to domestic pleasures—a guide to doing household things on our own terms, because most of this stuff isn't as hard as we've been led to believe. Don't worry, she's not asking you to host Tupperware parties or iron your underwear. But as all beginning home keepers know, a sure fire way to feel bad about ourselves is to consult Martha Stewart. So ditch that 2-inch thick handbook, dust off your pots and pans, and join Kate on this journey to incorporating creativity and self-sufficiency on the home front.

Payne writes in a conversational tone--easy breezy--and fun. The book is filled with useful tips on everything from fixing things to cooking to crafts.
The book is arranged into three sections--a room to room guide, then a section on cleaning house, clothes and the essential tools--and how to use them--that you need. (Think about it--if you can't do simple fix-its, you can't be self-sufficient, right?) Finally, the third section is a cooking primer and guide to entertaining.
Payne loves to shop at thrift stores, flea markets and on Craigslist..and she explains how you can find stuff you need and love. The book is loaded with creative, practical and inexpensive tips. For example, she explains how to find something pretty to hold everyday utensils on the counter in the kitchen--saves drawer space and is more convenient to grab when cooking.
Another great example of a tip is to buy cases of mason jars--cheap--instead of plastic ones for kitchen essentials like grains, beans and so on.
She even offers ideas on objects that have a dual purpose--a fancy bottle of olive oil and become a soap dispenser, for example.
I like that Payne is NOT about collecting stuff/clutter but about buying only what you love and need. To that end, she encourages the reader to donate to the same thrift stores that you are buying from!
This book is great for those just starting out and for people who have just never figured out the basics on how to run a home.Read more ›
Even if you don't consider yourself Betty Homemaker, Kate's laid back approach to living is something we should all incorporate in our life. Don't freak out if something isn't perfect, you can make it work. I definitely recommend having this book on hand for those little questions that pop into your head. "How can I make this dang bottle of dish soap last longer?" "Isn't there something I can do with my leftover condiment jars after they're empty?" It can help you save money and make do with more, helping you feel like a proper, independent adult.
Simply put, Kate Payne is the MacGyver of Homemaking.
Most of it seems common sense, there are a few good recipes and ideas for improvement however you could probably find a more intensive book if this is your interest (I'm liking Put Em Up). Essentially, if you've ever lived in your own apartment before, you probably know everything in the book.
If you don't enjoy talking to people who go on and on about health and environmental issues, you may not like this book too much. I found the frequency of comments on this topic to be tiresome, but I will say the author is at least knowledgeable and doesn't just repeat common, incorrect platitudes about what is and isn't healthy.
The book in general is interesting, enjoyable and somewhat useful. A lot of tips on DIY things. Good if you are a student or have more time than money.
I used to try to do everything myself, but I've come to be sceptical of valuing DIY for DIY sake. To me it's a means to an end. Most women working outside the home are taking on too much. I just heard that "working" women do more housework that women who don't have jobs outside the home. Time is limited, and your time has values. There are costs to trying to DIY a lot of things. They may or may not be worth it, depending on your values, but I think they are worth considering.
If you are working 40 or more hours a week, I think it's important to think about what is realistic to try to DIY and either focus on things that you will really enjoy or the DIY things that are really going to save you a lot of money vs other DIY things. This book seems more focused on things some people will enjoy, not necessarily things that will give you the best monetary return for your time vs other DIY projects.
This book gives some good options for things you might want to DIY or adopt, but I don't really see the point of spending time making my own clarified butter, for example, when I can buy it for almost the same price as the butter needed.

5.0 stars 16 totalReview Ryan Rodriguez
Posted by Sean
I retained Ryan's services twice now. I was in a bad place and needed help. He was there both times, not with his hand out asking for money but with answers. It was a very difficult time for me and I felt I was lost. Ryan explained everything in detail about my case and explored the options that were available to me. Worked day and night to help reach a viable conclusion. Visited me in jail to discuss my case no matter how late, or if it was a weekend...did not matter. He took care of me, helped my mother and my girlfriend through this process as well. They did not know what to think or what was going to happen. He assured them that everything was going to be ok. And it was, we were able to come to an agreement with the judge that was deemed impossible by everyone we talked to....because of Ryan's efforts, networking and hard work. He saved my life and I always be grateful for everything he did for me. Thank you Ryan.
Posted by Mike
I retained Ryan's services for both of my sons legal issues. He has always been professional and treated us with kindness and concern. I feel Ryan has always gotten our family the best outcome for our extensive legal problems. I have never felt gouged concerning his fee's. I will always refer him to a friend.
Posted by Kory
Ryan Rodriguez has helped win a number if cases or me ranging from simple misdemeanor cases to complex Felony cases. Most recently Mr. Rodriguez was able to fight for me in court and get a Felony charge expunged from my record and Felony probation terminated. I had only been on probation for the case for 8 months and the charge was only a year old. Mr. Rodriguez exceeds expectations every time.
Posted by Lisa
I was referred by the California Bar Association to a lawyer I spent a week with taking to his office and never got a call back. So I requested another attorney, even though my friend works in Beverly Hills and said he would help I choose Ryan. He contacted me right away. I explained my situation and what I needed done from 1983 which I have been unable to be hired or exempted by the Department of Justice without months of letters to them explaining what happened back then. Ryan took on my case and within a few weeks was able not only to reduce the felony's to a misdemeanor but have them expunged. I received the news this morning and copies of the documents signed by the judge. He was honest, up front, and his fees were reasonable. I am so thankful to him. I thought this process would take months. This dark cloud has followed me for years, hindered me from
becoming the professional career I wanted , and now I am free. I no longer have to live vicariously through my husbands career. Many blessings to him. This is the best day of my life. I no longer have to hold on to a mistake I made.
Posted by Morton
Ryan went the extra mile for me , I was charged with 4 felonies facing a 4 year 4 month sentence with a prior 2 year prison conviction, at the end of the day i got 3 years probation and another chance at life, call Mr Rodriguez first ....and best of all he didn't charge me an arm and a leg ,,good guy...
Posted by a client
Working with Ryan was an outstanding experience. His professionalism and knowledge with the case exceeded what was expected. He handled everything in a positive and professional manner and I would highly recommend other future clients to not hesitate and contact him.
Posted by a client
I was charged with misdemeanor battery in September of 2015 and retained Ryan Rodriguez's services shortly after my first arraignment, knowing I was in over my head. Ryan was knowledgeable, professional, friendly, and with me every step of the way; making an extremely nerve-wracking and frightening experience much easier to get through. His knowledge of law, and his negotiation skills allowed for a prompt and fair settlement for all parties involved, and I truly felt that he had my back every step of the way. I would not hesitate for a moment to put my trust in him! Thanks so much!!
Posted by Fritz
A little over a year ago I had the good fortune of retaining the legal services of Ryan Rodriguez . Not only was he the most affordable, but also an experat at his craft. He went above and beyond the call to execute the best outcome for us . Ryan is not only great attorney, but above all a great human being .My wife and I consider Attorney Ryan Rodriguez to be a family friend .
Posted by Kim
DA offered me a misdemeanor offer on my case when I first appeared in court. I decided to ask court for more time to hire an attorney. Ryan quickly responded to a referral and off we went to court. Ryan was able to secure with DA an agreement to dismiss my case after a year if I met certain conditions. Fast forward a year later, case dismissed no record. Good people make mistakes but people like Ryan help us get through it. Man of his word. Thank you Ryan!
Posted by a client
Ryan exceeded every expectation that i had since day one. I was looking at 270 days jail for a 2nd DUI with two PV's. Ryan got me Less than 30 days!! His knowledge and professionalism is unmatched, as well as his down to earth very friendly yet straight forward attitude. If you have one DUI or two, the only choice is Ryan Rodriguez. My family and I couldnt be happier with the results and i fully recommend him to anybody who wants the best possible outcome. Thank you Ryan. I gave you a challenge coming to you late in my case but from the start you came through for me and showed me that you are truly THE BEST

During the nineteenth century establishment of the farming and wine industries of Southeastern Australia, horse-drawn coaches provided the only transportation of mail and passengers. The coach drivers reigned supreme on top of their coaches, and won the respect and admiration of their passengers. The coach service proprietor in this part of the state, was a certain Mr. Henry John Hill. His operation drove directly through a property owned more recently by three generations of the Longbottom family of Padthaway. Routes were known as Drives, thus the family's wine business is today known as Henry's Drive. View all Pillar Box Wines

Pillar Box Padthaway Reserve Red 2006
Other Red Blends from South Australia, Australia
Winemaker's Notes
"The grapes for the 2006 Reserve Shiraz were selected from the best Shiraz parcels used to make Pillar Box Red. They were aged in new oak, 75% French and 25% American. Opaque purple-colored, it offers up a classy bouquet of smoke, vanilla, saddle leather, bacon, and blueberry. This leads to a full-bodied, plush, seamless wine with no hard edges to its lengthy finish. It has the stuffing to evolve for 2-3 years but I can think of no reason for delaying gratification. It is a great value." - Wine Advocate
Pillar Box Winery
Named after the proprietor of the 19th century mail coach service which once ran through their property, the Longbottom family has created a new family tradition of winemaking with wines such as: Henry's Drive, Parson's Flat and Pillar Box.Like the United States, which is about the same size, Australia's winemaking regions are huddled into one or two pockets of the country. The state of South Australia, which produces about 60% of the country's wine, also has the most wineries and sub-regions, including McLaren Vale, Clare Valley, Coonawarra and Barossa Valley. New South Wales is home to the Hunter Valley, while the smaller, southern state of Victoria is best known for theYarra Valley. Head way west to the very large state of Western Australia and you'll find the tiny region of Margaret River at the southern tip.

I read this article: http://www.koboldtouch.com/display/IDCAR/Use+Classes+Instead+of+Structs
and I was already thinking that I would want to use classes instead of structs in my ObjC application but the article says that it requires a little bit more memory.
I also read this question's selected answer: Class vs Struct for data only? and it says that the variables in the class defaults to private but it is for C++ do they default to private in ObjC? I think not because if I have a @property in ObjC then I can access it from another object.
Finally if I'm just going to create an object that implements only a C struct what is the difference of using @public {} and @property?
To future readers both three answers need to be read all of them answer the question but I had to select and answer so this is why I chose one.

Posted on 01/18/2010 8:15:45 AM PST by rdl6989
WASHINGTON (Reuters) - A magnitude 6.0 earthquake hit Guatemala's Pacific coast near the border with El Salvador on Monday, the U.S. Geological Survey reported.
(Excerpt) Read more at reuters.com ...
Wow! Haiti, Venezuala, Iran, Argentina, and now Guatamala. All within the last 6 days, all over 5.0.
No big deal though. Happens all the time.
Time to dust off Les Nessman's disaster plan and get out the word on those Godless Erfquakes.
Thanks rd16989.
Lots of + 5 magnitude quakes already in 2010.
No tsunami watches issued.
The quake was 64 miles deep.
Quick! Call Pat Roberts. God is at it again....
the wyrm turns...
Northern California 5.3
Haiti 7.0
Venezuela 5.6
Guatamela 6.0
That reminds me, I gotta go see that 2012 movie, might be some survival tips there I'll need soon.
Bet that CA gets one in the next few days.
So, this kinda makes me wonder if these earthquakes keep happening, and let's say on a big scale where a lot of people die like in Haiti (just supposing), would Obama send $100 MILLION to EACH?
Haiti and Guatemala share the same tectonic plate. It makes a lot of sense.
I think the giant creature inside the Earth egg is beginning to hatch after all those years of incubating in millions of degrees of temperature.
Could be Mother Nature is letting the ones who believe that we can control the earth's temp, ie., Global Warming, are full of crap.

Unless you plan to learn to fly a light airplane through the middle of a collapsing building, there's not much to learn from "2012".
Go buy a truck.
0bama says anybody can do that.
Got any recent links about this? Just curious about it.
Much obliged. Between the opening of "For Your Eyes Only" where Bond flies a helicopter through a warehouse and the beginning of "Octopussy" where he flies that little plane sideways through the airplane hangar while they're frantically closing the doors, I'm qualified. :-)
LOL! I bet MY truck will go in the RIGHT direction...
Yellowstone has been far more active as of late and nothing has come of it.
Like I said though, it doesn't hurt to keep an eye on it.
The Cascadia Subduction Zone spits out a major quake every three hundred years or so. The last one was in 1700 and resulted in a massive tsunami that wreaked havoc in Japan.
Let's see: 1700 + 300 = ...? I notice from that graphic that the west coast of the U.S. is about the only part of the Pacific Plate that hasn't wiggled or coughed in the past week. Of course, the San Andreas has - as usual - a zillion or so minor (1.0-3.0) quakes every week.
Still, all in all, I don't think I want to visit the Oregon beaches for awhile. Besides, they might visit ME!
