text: Day 1 Westport to Clifden:101 miles / 3 hours 15 minutes at 30mph Westport to Killary Harbor It's not hard to see what makes Westport so charming: this pretty heritage town is cut through with an elegant tree-lined mall that runs alongside the Carrowbeg River. Here, and on the little streets that branch off it, you'll find a lively mixture of cosy cafés, bustling restaurants and some of the island's best traditional music pubs. Lovely shops, an uplifting atmosphere and beautiful Georgian architecture make it an ideal place to unwind. To get a taste of the town's history, make sure to visit Westport House and estate – home of Ireland's very own Pirate Queen, Grace O'Malley. Leaving Westport, the splendour of Clew Bay dominates this stretch of coast, and a Clewbay Cruise is a graceful way to explore its scattering of islands and curious seals. Keep your eye out for Dorinish, also known as "Beatle Island"; it was bought by John Lennon in 1967, and the story goes that he intended to retire there. Look upwards and you'll see Croagh Patrick's scree-covered slopes looming above – this is a detour in itself, if you're up for the climb. Make sure to strap on a pair of hardy shoes, and pace yourself – it takes three and half hours to get to the top, but it's worth it. Even if you don't make it to the summit, beneath Croagh Patrick's shadow you'll find the National Famine Monument. This moving sculpture of a "coffin ship" was commissioned to commemorate the anniversary of the Great Famine (1845-1852). Head west and the road weaves its way to the pretty town of Louisburgh. Plan your visit around the May Bank Holiday Weekend, and you'll arrive just as the Louisburgh Féile Chois Cuain rolls into town, with musicians from all over the world making music wherever they go. Following the signposts for the Wild Atlantic Way, and the village of Leenane and the fjord of Killary Harbour beckon. Westport, County Mayo Feenish Island, County Mayo Derrigimlagh bog, County Galway Killary Harbor to Letterfrack Pop into Gaynor's pub in Leenane and you might find that it looks a little familiar. That's because it had a starring role in the movie adaptation of John B Keane's The Field, as the haunt of one Bull McCabe. It wasn't just Keane who was mesmerised by this spot; director and screenwriter of In Bruges, Martin McDonagh's trilogy of plays – the most famous of which is The Beauty Queen of Leenane – was also inspired by this landscape. One of only three fjords in Ireland (and the only one on the Wild Atlantic Way) Killary is nature's playground. Anyone looking to chill out, head for the Delphi Adventure Resort. For those who like an adrenaline rush, on the other hand, Connemara Adventure Tours offers canoeing, gorge walking and archery. Boasting scenery and, indeed, geography not found anywhere in Ireland, you can always take a guided walk along the Famine Trail, which snakes along the banks of the fjord. Onwards now, and your next destination is Letterfrack. Letterfrack to Clifden Leave the imposing fjord in the rear-view mirror and travel onwards to Letterfrack through switchback roads and around a landscape peppered with lakes. It's worth bringing your camera with you just in case, for local legend and many cryptozoologists attest to the presence of monsters in these waters. The Each Uisce (water horse) is rumored to live in this most remote part of Ireland. Approaching Letterfrack, you will find the final resting place of pilot, surgeon, poet, politician, novelist and all-round wit, Oliver St John Gogarty (he of the renowned Dublin pub), in the graveyard at Ballinakill. Then at last it's on to Clifden where great food, great drink, plenty of places to stay and – even more importantly, perhaps – great music awaits. Now is a good time to fill up on fuel, as you won't find as many petrol stations moving forward into Connemara. Killary Harbour Although Ireland has some of the most beautiful coastline in the world, Killary Harbour at the mouth of the fjord has a unique quality that is only found in the island's other two fjords (Swilly and Carlingford). Read more Derrigimlagh bog On the road to Roundstone from Clifden, you'll find Derrigimlagh bog. This elemental landscape is yours to walk, cycle or drive, but make sure to take in the historic sights of Marconi's transatlantic transmitter and the location where Alcock and Brown made landfall after crossing the Atlantic by plane for the first time in 1919. Read more Clifden to Roundstone Leaving Clifden for Roundstone, it's along this the stretch around Derrygimlagh bog that many transatlantic firsts were recorded. Guglielmo Marconi established the first-ever commercial transatlantic wireless station here, and pilots Alcock and Brown landed the first-ever transatlantic flight in 1919. The landscape of this part of Connemara is utterly unique. Simply take a deep breath and immerse yourself in silver lakes, purple mountains and orange fields. A real highlight of this stretch, though, is the fascinating coral strand at Mannin Bay, on the Ballyconneely peninsula, one of only two coral beaches on the west coast of Ireland (the other is Trá na Dóilín at Carraroe, also in County Galway). A trip to Gurteen Beach or Dog's Bay on the way to Roundstone will also make a beautiful detour, if not to swim, then certainly to stretch your legs along the golden sands. Roll into Roundstone and its myriad pubs serving super-fresh seafood, brought in daily by the little fishing boats.

Marine Queensland urges holistic approach to ocean management
by Jeni Bone on 15 Jun 2012
Marine Park Zones .. ©
Marine Queensland and the BIAA are opposed to the Marine Park proposals. According to Don Jones, CEO of Marine Queensland the process for the development of an appropriate management regime has been 'a sham and driven by tokenism and green fundamentalism'.
'This once in a lifetime opportunity should have focussed on the holistic management of Commonwealth waters to provide protection where necessary and to ensure that current and future risks are mitigated. Instead it has been about creation of token zones that do little if anything to provide the sophisticated management of Commonwealth waters.
'As a result of this direct negative impact will result on the marine industry along with other industries and regional communities. The other big loser from this process is the environment itself.'
In Queensland, the direct impact on the marine industry will be commercial fishers and their supply chains (the broader marine industry), marine tourism operators such as charter vessels and their supply chains, recreational sports fishers, retailers and service providers.
Jones revealed the BIAA and states have a campaign in the pipeline, targeting grass roots communities who will be adversely affected.
'A campaign has been on foot for some time,' he said. 'The difficulty has been participating in a flawed process that is constantly manipulated to achieve predetermined outcomes.'
The marine industry participated in the process, but is critical of its administration and outcomes.
'The industry participated in the process positively and in good faith, however the goal posts constantly changed at the direction of the Minister. It is clear that the extensive submissions made through the process were not considered seriously,' explained Jones, adding that the many legitimate issues raised with supporting data have largely been ignored.
'Major gaps continue to exist such as the absence of any management plans, the absence of any clearly articulated statement of risks and threats and measures proposed to address those threats, or structural adjustment arrangements to address the direct impacts of these proposals.'
For the public and industry who oppose the Marine Park Plan, Jones recommended getting in touch with politicians and the offices of the Environment Minister and the Prime Minister to voice their concerns.
'We need to stress the importance of holistically managed waters to this nation now and into the future,' said Jones.

Part 2 of the interview with Emirates Team NZ skipper Glenn Ashby.
In this part of the interview we look at what is going to happen once Emirates Team NZ get their 'AC49.5' sailing in Auckland, and how the campaign may shape up before they leave for Bermuda. Ashby wouldn't be drawn on whether Team New Zealand had started their AC50 build, with July being the usual start of what is usually a five-month build and commissioning period for an end of December launch.

Atlas' marker Lyrics
Artist: Rickie Lee Jones
Album: Flying Cowboys
Maybe you want another world
One where heaven doesn't weigh so much
Maybe you'll find another girl
One you can feel when you do not touch
Well I've got something
Warm inside me
It won't let you fall
'Til I see
Somewhere better than this place
Some night you'll open your eyes and live far away
Somewhere better than the world
I'm an aviator now
Atlas hold me in your arms, I'll fly
Over this tenement waterfall
This wet buries all the tears we've cried
I dream of you coming to me
Swimming in a water
Of many hearts I've known
Beneath new stars they're calling
Somewhere better than this place
Oh! don't stay at home with your momma in the dark
Go find the arc
Show them the atlas' marker
You walk into school like you got nothin' to win
They won't let you in without atlas' marker
Oh, my sister's buried here so deep
I hear her digging in her sleep
Somewhere better than his place
Sometimes she closes her eyes
And she's out in space
Somewhere better than the world where we live

Ann Coulter's Scheduled Appearance at 'HomoCon' Has Predictable Consequences
Maybe she was just trying to "Take America Back" from the inside?
Well, you didn't think Ann Coulter could be the publicized guest of honor at something called "HomoCon" without some of her usual cohorts getting jealous, did you? Less than two weeks after the fledgling Log Cabin Republicans ripoff GOProud announced that "the right-wing Judy Garland" (their words) would headline their inaugural party on September 25, Coulter is being dropped from giving the keynote speech at right-wing website WorldNetDaily's "Taking America Back National Conference." Just to make things clear, the site posted an explanation of Coulter's disinvitation! Guess what? It's:
"Because of her plan to address an event titled 'HOMOCON' sponsored by the homosexual Republican group GOProud that promotes same-sex marriage and military service for open homosexuals."
I mean, seriously, who exactly did Coulter think these people wanted to "Take America Back" from in the first place? Coulter responded by saying she talks to groups she disagrees with all the time, including some that "looove abortion." Why, it's almost as if she'll go anywhere and do anything at all, if the price is right!

It seems the new design is flexible enough to easily take into account wisent's needs! An important thing to account is that wisent parses tokens of the form: (SYMBOL VALUE [FROM . TO]) compared to semantic lexical tokens like this: (SYMBOL FROM . TO) As it is, the semantic format requires some knowledge of the input stream to get the actual value of a token. The main advantage of the wisent's token format is that it is completely independent of what sort of input stream is used: an Emacs buffer, a string, etc.. The parser never knows, nor have to know, from where tokens are read. Only the lexer has this knowledge. Also, as each token is produced once, there is no performance issue! All that to say that, IMO, the new lexer should provide a way to customize the format of returned tokens. Maybe a sort of override for the macro `semantic-lex-token'? So it would be possible to reuse existing regex-analyzers to produce tokens with a different format. Maybe using something like this: (defvar semantic-lex-tokenizer nil "Name of macro or function to use to produce lexical tokens. The default is `semantic-lex-default-token'") (make-variable-buffer-local 'semantic-lex-tokenizer) (defmacro semantic-lex-token (symbol start end) "Create a lexical token. SYMBOL is a symbol representing the class of syntax found. START and END define the bounds of the token in the current buffer. This macro should only be called within the bounds of `define-lex-analyzer'. It changes the values of the lexical analyzer variables `token-stream' and `end-point'. If you need to move `end-point' somewhere else, just modify this variable after calling `semantic-lex-token'." `(,(or semantic-lex-tokenizer 'semantic-lex-default-token) ,symbol ,start ,end)) (defmacro semantic-lex-default-token (symbol start end) "Create a lexical token with default format. See `semantic-lex-token' for more details on SYMBOL, START and END." `(setq end-point ,end token-stream (cons (cons ,symbol (cons ,start end-point)) token-stream))) (defmacro semantic-lex-wisent-token (symbol start end) "Create a lexical token with wisent format. See `semantic-lex-token' for more details on SYMBOL, START and END." `(setq end-point ,end token-stream (cons (cons ,symbol (cons (buffer-substring-no-properties ,start end-point) (cons ,start end-point))) token-stream))) Here is an example of results: (macroexpand '(semantic-lex-token 'newline 0 0 )) => (setq end-point 0 token-stream (cons (cons (quote newline) (cons 0 end-point)) token-stream)) (let ((semantic-lex-tokenizer 'semantic-lex-wisent-token)) (macroexpand '(semantic-lex-token 'newline 0 0))) => (setq end-point 0 token-stream (cons (cons (quote newline) (cons (buffer-substring-no-properties 0 end-point) (cons 0 end-point))) token-stream)) > How it works: > > 1. Language maintainer creates custom lex analyzers. eg. > [...] > > 2. Language maintainer builds a custom lexical analyzer. eg. > [...] I really like all that! I think it shouldn't be too hard to use a flex-like syntax in BNF / WY grammar (maybe with new %declarations) to specify the equivalent of the define-lex-... stuff, and to automagically generate the lexer!

Madden NFL 08
Johnny's back at the top of his game. Read our PS3 review.
Back in the February 2007 issue of EGM (#212), this sporto wrote an article titled "The best Madden ever (...if we have anything to say about it)." Let's be honest: Since EA secured the exclusive National Football League license a few years back, Mr. Madden's ballgame hasn't exactly performed at a Super Bowl-caliber level (especially on the new consoles). Does 08 finally deliver both on and off the field? Let's run through the wish list.
Stop experimenting and start innovating: Vision and Precision Passing, Superstar mode -- the last two big features coming out of this series can best be described as "great in theory, poor in execution." Thankfully, that's not the case this season as 08 introduces something much simpler yet way more effective. The new "weapons" feature has a two-pronged effect. First, these onfield icons make it supereasy to identify a team's key players and their strengths. And more importantly, these classifications bring some much-needed variety to each position. So running the pigskin with elusive Saints running back Reggie Bush feels way different than using Chiefs power back Larry Johnson. The game even takes into account which NFL players show some smarts on the gridiron. Brainiacs like the Colts' Peyton Manning and the Ravens' Ed Reed (who receive the lightbulb icon) can eventually fill up that lightbulb and read the defensive or offensive play, which will appear on the field as a diagram. Now that's what we call innovation.
Aside from these player classifications, the developers went back and cleaned up some of their previous "experiments." Superstar mode returns, but this time the position-specific camera angles are actually playable -- the view's been pulled back, which allows you to see more of the action. Also, rather than creating a superstar, you can also play this mode with one of the league's top rookies. The game's franchise mode takes another step forward with its scouting options, and for all you Xbox 360 owners, you've never played a Madden that moves as blistering fast and smooth as this one. That's what 60 frames per second can do for football (see the sidebar for the unfortunate PS3 difference).
|[Click the image above to check out all Madden NFL 08 screens.]
Give 'em something upstairs: From the terrible secondary play to the errant line blocking, we've often wondered why Madden's group of NFLers even wear helmets -- it's not like they got much to protect up there. But just like our innovation wish, you'll find a much smarter brand of football in 08: Quarterbacks now scramble when no one is open, wideouts continue to make blocks 30 yards downfield, and defensive backs rarely fall for the deep ball. Some might even say that pass defense is a tad too stingy this season, but we'd rather have it be challenging than face another Madden secondary that sports more holes than Swiss cheese.
This year's game makes the developers look wise in other ways as well. Ball carriers will now push on the back of an offensive lineman if the fatty is pluggin' up the hole. If you call a play-action pass at the goal line, you'll actually see the running back continue with the fake and jump over the pile -- very nice. Surprisingly, 08 also isn't afraid to make its players look dumb (at the appropriate times, naturally). For example, bad weather finally has an effect on gameplay as players will occasionally slip on a rain-soaked or snow-covered field while juking or going for a tackle.
Show some emotion: When you boot up the game, it starts with a video montage that shows Eagles hit man Brian Dawkins pounding his chest and screaming to his teammates, "Can you feel it?!" Well, Brian, not entirely in 08. While we really dig that the players display more personality in this year's edition (usually through celebrations like Giants defensive end Michael Strahan's sack-tastic jump shot and Cowboys wideout Terrell Owens' TD shimmy), we're still waiting for the sport's true emotion to come out. As this writer mentioned in the EGM article, "If we're playing in the Super Bowl -- from the announcers to the fans in the stands -- it better damn well feel like a special event." Bumping up the player's reactions to what's happening on the field is a start, but this series -- along with most other sports sims -- desperately needs to turn up the atmosphere dial.

Online leagues or bust: Another year, another Madden -- and another year without online leagues. Disappointing? Heck yeah, especially with the recent announcement that NHL 08, another EA sports franchise with an online community a fraction of the size of Madden, will receive this most-wanted feature. But perhaps calling this wish "online leagues or bust" was a li'l dramatic. Playing four quarters across the Internet was pretty much lag-free, and die-hard football fans should enjoy the "NFL News" tab that gives you access to tons of news articles and ESPN clips.
Stop putting players on the cover: Some initially read this wish as a joke, but we're not kidding: When will EA realize that putting stars like Titans quarterback Vince Young on the Madden cover messes up not only fantasy football, but more importantly, the actual NFL? We feel for ya, Titans fans -- it's going to be one long (and soon-to-be Young-less) season.
So as we wrap up, is this the "best Madden ever?" Well, EA's still gotta get its online act together before we can bestow such an honor. But we definitely do feel bad for folks like Pacman Jones and Tank Johnson -- these guys won't be part of the best Madden in a long while.
The PS3 difference.
Sadly, just like with NCAA Football 08 and All-Pro Football 2K8, PS3 owners are stuck with an inferior version of Madden. While the game runs at 60 frames per second on Microsoft's box, Madden only clocks in at 30fps on Sony's console. The result? The gameplay isn't nearly as smooth as the 360 version and even stutters at times (see the difference in this comparison video). And that's the reason why we're scoring the PS3 edition slightly lower.

CEOs and ObamaCare
An internal revolt at the Business Roundtable over support for ObamaCare.
One lesson that Democrats learned from the failure of HillaryCare in 1994 is that they had to buy the silence, if not the outright support, of the business class. They've done this brilliantly by peddling the illusion that ObamaCare will "lower costs" for employers.
But slowly as the legislative details become clear, it is dawning on executives of businesses large and small that reform is boiling down to a huge tax increase to finance a gigantic new entitlement. The cost and quality of care are afterthoughts that will both suffer, as a growing roll of medical experts have been writing on these pages.
The tragedy is that ObamaCare is not inevitable and far better reforms are still possible—but only if the current version is defeated and Democrats are forced back to the drawing board. With only a few exceptions, drug makers and health-care providers have shown that their priority is rent-seeking from government, which means that any last-minute push back will have to come from the other six-sevenths of the economy.
The Chamber of Commerce and National Federation of Independent Business have finally figured out they were being taken for a ride. And now even the Business Roundtable, the association of CEOs from the largest companies, is engaged in a furious internal debate about the way forward. The Roundtable has been vaguely supportive but restive. But last week Roundtable president John Castellani was informed in a contentious conference call that many of his members will quit if the organization isn't more assertive against ObamaCare.
What the executives leading the revolt understand is that the current reforms bear no resemblance to the more rational system the Roundtable favors. As Ivan Seidenberg of Verizon accurately put it in September, "The problem with the health-care market in this country is that it doesn't really function as a market—leaving major consumer needs unmet, costs unchecked by competition, and basic practices untouched by the productivity revolution that has transformed every other sector of the economy."
Yet in Congress the market-based policies that could encourage such changes have been ignored, dumped or converted into timid pilot programs. Instead of increasing the competition and consumer choice that would result in better value and reduce the annual double-digit cost increases in health spending, ObamaCare will simply expand the status quo and make it more expensive.
Roundtable companies sponsor health insurance for some 35 million employees. Not only would their wages continue to be depressed as costs continue to accelerate, but large and unpredictable costs would remain on corporate balance sheets.
Most Roundtable members also self-insure under the 1974 law known as Erisa that allows large corporations to offer national insurance largely free of regulatory interference. This flexibility will be undermined with mandated benefit packages and limits on employer ability to innovate with consumer-directed health plans. The most powerful Democrats simply have no appreciation for—or interest in—how a decentralized approach like Erisa could make health care more affordable and result in the coverage expansions that corporate America generally favors.
The larger issue for business is the productivity and competitiveness of the U.S. economy. Democrats are about to pass the largest entitlement expansion in more than four decades when federal spending is already at unprecedented levels. The "pay or play" tax on employers and the hike in payroll taxes on top earners in the House and Senate bills are merely teaser rates. The long-term pressures created on the federal fisc would require enormous tax hikes that would depress capital investment and economic growth, to say nothing of the Roundtable's priority of reducing U.S. corporate tax rates that are among the world's highest.
The tendency among business groups is usually to conciliate and speak the language of consensus—especially with Democrats running all of Washington and able to do great harm to anyone who doesn't cooperate. And no doubt the Roundtable is hearing from the CEOs of companies like Pfizer, Wal-Mart and General Electric that are deeply invested in more government control of the economy. Other members favor making marginal improvements to a faulty bill, on the theory that it's a fait accompli anyway.
Yet if the Roundtable in particular and business in general would invest their advertising dollars, lobbying expertise and prestige into a concerted campaign, there is still a chance to move public opinion enough to stop this destructive bill. That would force the Democrats on the left who are driving this process to work with moderates in both parties to focus on meaningful cost control and better value.
Democrats have defined success as dragging any bill into law as quickly as possible, no matter how damaging, while leaving the mess it creates to be cleaned up in the future once the entitlement is entrenched and higher taxes are inevitable. The only way to prevent that outcome is to force them to start over.
The choice isn't between the status quo with all its flaws and ObamaCare. It's between ObamaCare, and a better reform alternative.

3' Claims. 1
This invention relates to mounting racks for equipment units such as electrical apparatus and is particularly suited to the mounting of vacuum tube circuit equipment which may be readily inspected and removed from the rack for repair.
. 'vide a file drawer mounting for an electrical unit 9 It is well-known that the modern type of installation of electrical equipment, such as that employed in broadcasting stations and motion picture studios, is in the form of units arranged in vertical panels or relay racks. These units may be oscillators, audio and high frequency ampliiiers, noise reduction amplifiers and compressors. They may occupy one or more racks positioned adjacent one another depending on the requirements of the installation. To service these units various arrangements have been employed for making the elements of the units and the terminals thereof readily accessible for both inspection and repair. A unit of this general -type is disclosed and claimed inNielson U. 8.
Patent No. 2,185,562 of January 2, 1940. The mounting shown in this patent is hinged whereby the front panel drops forwardly and downwardly to expose the terminals of the various elements in the units. A sliding type of unit is disclosed in U. S. Patent No. 1,527,896 of February 24, 1925, this unit being of the drawer type sliding in and out of a radio cabinet.
This present invention is a mounting construction which is of the drawer type whereby the unit may be easily and quickly withdrawn from the rack for inspection not only of the elements themselves, such as the tubes, condensers and transformers, but also the terminals of these elements by the rotation of the unit to make the wiring side of the unit accessible. Animportant feature of this arrangement is that the unit need not be electrically disconnected during inspection which permits access to the terminals for measurements during operating of the unit. Furthermore, the entire unit may be quickly and readily detached from the panel rack and also replaced as quickly and readily.
The principal object of the invention, therefore, is to facilitate the mounting, dismounting, inspection and repair of apparatus, particularly electrical units.
Another object of the invention is to provide an improved method of and means for mounting electrical units.
A. further object of the invention is to provide an improved mounting construction for electrical units arranged on panel or relay racks.
A still further object of the invention is to prowhich may be readily attached and detached from the panel and rotated for inspection and repair.
Although the novel features which are believed to be characteristic of this invention will be pointed out with particularity in the appended claims, the manner of its organization and the mode of its operation will be better understood by referring to the following description read in conjunction with the accompanying drawings forming a part hereof, in which:
Fig. 1 is a perspective view of the mounting embodying the invention.
Fig. 2 is a plan view of the mounting with the electrical unit in open position.
Fig. 3 is a cross-sectional view taken along the line 3-3 of Fig. 2.
Fig. 3a is a detailed view taken along the line Fig. 4 is an elevational view of the mounting with electrical unit removed.
Figs. 5 and 6 are detailed cross-sectional views of the side runners taken along the lines 5-5 and 6-6 respectively, of Fig. 4. P
Fig. 7 is an elevational view showing the electrical unit in operating position and its position when withdrawn for inspection, and
Fig. 8 is an elevational view showing the electrical unit in rotated position for inspection or repair of the wiring side of the unit.
Referring now to the drawings in which the same numerals identify like elements, a panel or relay rack consists of U-shaped vertical side members 5 and 6. These members may be the standard relay rack uprights which are connected together at the bottom. Attached to the members 5 and 6 by screws 20 is a supporting member 1 having a bottom IS, the member 1 having an opening 8 therein through which an electrical unit I0 is inserted and withdrawn. When the unit I0 is in an operative position a front panel H fits into and closes the opening 8 although it is to be understood that the side members 5 and ,6 may have slots or crossmembers or a combination of both to support the unit and thus eliminate the member 1. To the rear ofthe bottom It! there is attached by screws, such as IS, a pair or terminal blocks l6 and IT. A dust cover may surround the unit if desired although it is not required. It is understood, of course, that similar units and terminal blocks I6 may be provided for other electrical units similar to unit l0 above and below the unit Ill or the unit may be inserted between other units mounted in the old manner.
nected into the unit either above or below the mounting surface of the box chassis 25. Mounted on the front panel ii is a potentiometer or gain control knob 21, a meter 28 and a selector switch 29 for connecting different vacuum tubes to the meter. A pair of pull knobs 30 are used to facilitate sliding the unit into and out of the panel while a pair of cables 3| are connected between the stationary terminal blocks l5 and H and to multiple pin plugs 34 and 35. The plugs 34 and 35 may be removed from their sockets 36 when it is desired to remove the unit Ill from the rack.
As shown in Fig. 7 the elements are so positioned that the cables 3| do-not contact any element as they loop and unloop during movement of the unit into and out of the drawer 9. Other types of units mayhave appropriate control elements on the front panel.
Referring now to Fig. 8, the portion constituting the unit I is shown supported solely on a'pair of pivot pins 31 and 38 on the sides of the chassis 25 (see Fig. 3), the pins being accommodated in the slanting notches 40 of a pair of runners 42 and 43. Thus, with the multiple pin plugs 34 and 35 disconnected from their sockets, the unit It may be lifted from the runners 42 and 43 and placed on a bench for inspection and repair. When the unit I0 is in the position shown in Figs. 1 and 2, the rear corners of the unit are held locked to the runners by beveled catches 44 mounted on right-angled spring members 45 having one end of each spring attached to the sides of chassis 25. The catches 44 are accommodated in openings 46 in the runners 42 and 43. When it decided to release and rotate the unit ID to the position shownin Fig. 8, the springs 45 are pushed inwardly by pressure on buttons 4'! as shown in detail in Fig. 3a.
The unit H) is thus supported by the pair of runners 42 and 43, these runners being movable on intermediate runners and 5|, the intermediate runners 50 and 5| beingmovable on the fixed track members 53 and 54, these latter members being attached to the sides of drawer 9 in any suitable. manner such as by rivets. The runners 42 and 43 are connected together at their rear ends by a bar 52 which may be integral with the runners 42 and 43. This U-shaped construction provides rigidity to the mounting. Thus, the unit ||l may be moved into and out of the panel by means of the knobs 36, the unit being held in its open position by a pair of springs 56 which abut a pair of stops 51. When it is desired to slide the unit into the panel, pressure is brought to bear on the sides of the springs 56 so they will clear the ends of the stops 51. To hold the unit in operative position within the panel springs 60 are adapted to clamp the arrowheads 6| on the front panel.
Although it is understood that any type of easily moving runner system may be employed, a preferred type is illustrated in the drawings wherein the outer double U-shaped fixed tracks 53 and 54 have mounted therein the intermediate double U-shaped runners 5|! and 5| which have rear wheels 62, intermediate wheels 63 and 66 and front wheels 64. The runners 42 and 43,
' thereto (see Figs. 5 and 6).
bearing the notches 46 and thereby supporting the unit II, are mounted within the intermediate runners 56 and II on angle straps 65 attached These straps ride between the wheels of the runners 50 and 5|, the wheels also carryin the runners 50 and 5| within the stationary tracks 53 and 54. In this manner the weight of the unit I0 is supported on wheels and may be easily moved into and out of the panel regardless of its weight.
Latches 69 pivoted at 10 to the intermediate runners 50 and 5| limit the outer position of the intermediate runners while the latches 12 attached to the intermediate runners 50 and 5| hook into latches 13 on the outer runners 42 and 43 to limit the outer position of these runners. The latches 12 are accessible through openings 15 (see Fig. 1) in case it is desired to remove the runners 42 and 43 from the intermediate runners. The latches 69 may be depressed to remove the runners 56 and 5| from the fixed tracks.
The above m'ounting construction, therefore,
' involves the unit l6, and supporting member I,
which has front flanges for attachment to the vertical members 5 and 6, and the fixed track members 53 and 54. These members together with the movable runners 42, 43, 50 and 5| provide the support for the unit being mounted. The front panel I may be used with the type side members as shown or may be incorporated as a part of the side members. This structure thus permits a heavy unit, electrical or otherwise, to be constructed and built separate fromits mounting rack and quickly placed in position by simply placing the pins 31 and 38 in the respective notches of the outer runners 42 and 43 and rotating the unit into the horizontal position so that the latches 44 lock in position. If the unit is electrical, the multiple pin plugs 34 and 35 are then inserted in their respective sockets, the springs 56 depressed and the unit rolled into operative position. By reversing the above procedure the unit is readily removed for inspection and repairs. The unit may simply be withdrawn from the rack and rotated as shown in Fig. 8 wherein the wiring between the elements of the unit is readily available for inspection, testing and any necessary repairs. Although, the unit ID has been shown as an electrical unit, mechanical units could also be mounted in the same manner.

Yield Advantage Over U.S. Dwindles on QE Outlook: Canada Credit
Canada is losing its yield advantage over the U.S. on speculation government bond markets may have gone too far in anticipating the scale of stimulus from the Federal Reserve next week.
Canadian 10-year bonds yielded 18 basis points more than their U.S. counterparts yesterday, near the narrowest gap in almost three months and down from as much as 37 basis points on Oct. 7. Longer-term bond prices are falling faster in the U.S. than in Canada, pushing yields up more quickly.
That difference may narrow further as prices for Canadian bonds rise on speculation a scaled-down program of so-called quantitative easing won't be as inflationary as a larger program. The U.S. central bank may limit bond purchases to a few hundred billion dollars at next week's meeting, the Wall Street Journal reported yesterday, without saying where it got the information. In general, bond prices fall in times of higher inflation.
"QE-Light is what many are expecting now," John Clinkard, chief economist for Canada at Deutsche Bank AG's Deutsche Bank Securities, said by phone from Toronto. "The Fed is viewed as not being quite as aggressive regarding QE as a lot of people were expecting. If they eased off, I think this would have a somewhat positive impact on Canada."
The gap in 10-year yields reached an 18-month high in Canada's favor on Oct. 7. Since then, 10-year Treasury yields have climbed 34 basis points, compared with 15 basis points on the Canadian side. The gap in 30-year yields was 55 basis points in favor of the U.S. yesterday, the most since May.
Goldman Sachs
Elsewhere in credit markets, Goldman Sachs Group Inc. sold C$500 million ($487 million) in so-called Maple Bonds, debt sold by foreign companies in Canadian dollars. The 4.1 percent notes mature in November 2015, and were priced at 206.4 basis points over the Canadian government 3 percent bond due December 2015.
The extra yield investors demand to hold the debt of Canada's corporations instead of its federal government was unchanged at 142 basis points, or 1.42 percentage points, down from 145 at the end of September, according to Bank of America Merrill Lynch data. The so-called spread in U.S. corporate bonds tightened 8 basis points this month to 178. Global corporate bonds narrowed 8 basis points to 165 as of Oct. 26.
Canadian corporate yields ended yesterday at 3.67 percent, from 3.63 the day before and 3.66 at the end of September, according to the Merrill index, which holds more than 700 bonds with a par value of C$278 billion. The index has declined 0.1 percent this month, after five months of gains.

U.S. corporate bonds have lost 0.4 percent in October, while global corporate had fallen 0.1 percent as of Oct. 26, the Merrill Lynch data show.
Standard & Poor's assigned a BB- rating to Gateway Casinos & Entertainment Ltd., three notches below investment grade, with a stable outlook, the agency said yesterday in a statement. S&P gave the firm's proposed C$340 million sale of secured term loans a BB+ rating, the highest non-investment grade, and its sale of C$170 million in second-lien notes a BB- rating.
"The stable outlook on Gateway stems from our expectation that the company will use its robust discretionary cash flow to reduce debt in the next several years," Toronto-based S&P analyst Donald Marleau said in the statement.
Canadian corporations have issued C$60 billion in debt this year, more than the C$57.2 billion in all of 2009, and the most since 2007, according to Bloomberg data.
Provincial Bonds
In provincial bond markets, relative yields were unchanged yesterday at 52 basis points, from 53 basis points at the end of last week and 58 on Sept. 30. Yields were 3 percent, little changed from the end of last month. The index has returned 0.07 percent this month, compared with a 0.39 percent loss for Canada's federal bonds.
The benchmark Canadian 10-year bond's yield climbed 8 basis points today as the 3.5 percent security due in June 2020 slumped 65 cents to C$105.11.
The benchmark two-year note's yield touched 1.46 percent, the highest level in a month. The 1.5 percent bond maturing in December 2012 fell 6 cents to C$100.11. The 30-year's yield rose 4 basis points to 3.50 percent.
Canada's gross domestic product increased 0.3 percent in August, after a 0.1 percent drop in July, according to the median of 24 forecasts in a Bloomberg News survey. Statistics Canada releases the data tomorrow at 8:30 a.m. in Ottawa.
Bond investors' expectations for Canadian inflation during the next decade touched 2.16 percent Oct. 25 -- the highest since May -- even as the Bank of Canada's preferred core measure slowed to a rate of 1.5 percent in September.
Quantitative Easing
Minutes of the last U.S. central bank meeting, released on Oct. 12, increased uncertainty about how much so-called quantitative easing Fed Chairman Ben S. Bernanke might initiate when policy makers meet Nov. 2-3, analysts say.
"Recent moves on U.S. yields have to do with markets paring down expectations for QE2," Pascal Gauthier, an economist at Toronto-Dominion Bank in Toronto, said via e-mail. "Markets had already priced in large Fed purchases."
Economic data yesterday showing a bigger-than-forecast increase last month in U.S. new home sales and a report Oct. 26 showing higher-than projected consumer confidence this month may give the Fed reason to scale back on potential quantitative easing.
A further narrowing of the Canada-U.S. 10-year spread is "certainly a possibility," Gauthier said. "The U.S. market seems to be pricing in $500 billion in QE, whereas we see it coming closer to $400 billion, with an open-ended statement by the Fed to do more as needed."
QE Estimates
Estimates for the size of the program had ranged from $1 trillion at Bank of America-Merrill Lynch Global Research to $2 trillion at Goldman Sachs Group Inc., with economists at both firms agreeing the Fed will likely begin with a $500 billion plan after its meeting next week.
Yields are also rising faster in the U.S. than in Canada because investments are flowing more quickly into U.S. stocks in anticipation of another round of stimulus, according to Paul Ferley, deputy chief economist at Royal Bank of Canada.
"With the improvement in terms of equity markets, you're also seeing investors pulling out of fixed income and moving into equities," Ferley said by phone from Toronto. "You're seeing more of those flows occurring in the U.S. versus Canada. That's resulting in more of a rise in U.S. yields."
The Standard & Poor's 500 Index has gained 11 percent since Aug. 27, when Bernanke signaled in a speech in Jackson Hole, Wyoming, that the Fed may add more stimulus to the economy through quantitative easing. The Standard & Poor's/TSX Composite Index, Canada's primary stock gauge, rose 5.8 percent during that period.
'Considerable' Stimulus
Bank of Canada Governor Mark Carney reiterated yesterday the country's economy has "considerable" stimulus from his 1 percent benchmark interest rate and further moves to tighten policy would be "carefully considered."
The central bank last week lowered its economic growth forecast for the next five quarters and kept its key lending rate unchanged after three prior increases.

Next Final Fantasy XIII game to be announced at anniversary event
This week's Famitsu, via Andriasang, has a few more slim details regarding a promised announcement at a Final Fantasy 25th Anniversary event. Producer Yoshinori Kitase said Square Enix will announce a new title in the Final Fantasy XIII series. The new game, if that's what it is, has just gone into production, and is being called "Lightning Saga" until the official title is released on September 1. Good news for fans of FFXIII-2, less so for those hoping to hear something Versus XIII.

Let me be frank
It's a short read, but Food Republic's Ultimate Hot Dog Style Guide may take you a while to digest.
"No, it's WEE-ner. Like a penis."
Entrepreneurism is alive and well in America.
It was inevitable. We should have seen it coming. A Florida marketing genius and an Illinois company have teamed up to bring us Carlos Danger brand weiners. 100% beef, but I found no indication on the company's website that they're kosher. Carlos Danger claims that they're roughly twice as big as the average weiner!
Weiner Recontextualized
"So, after reading all his sexts and stuff, it's basically impossible for me to not hear every single thing Anthony Weiner says as some sort of horrible half-assed double entendre sexty come-on. So I cut together a few of his recent public statements to demonstrate why I laugh every time he speaks." (SLYTP)
Danger is my surname
After gossip site The Dirty posted explicit Facebook chats between NYC Mayoral frontrunner Anthony Weiner (previously) and a young Democratic organizer who initially wrote to castigate him for his original scandal, he was forced to acknowledge that "his habit of sending racy messages to women had persisted long after his resignation." The New York Times has called for him to drop out. So has the Wall Street Journal. So have his opponents, somewhat predictably, for obcuring the issues with "a never-ending sideshow." His support is dwindling, but a lingering question is: will (and should) voters even care?
"'Spitzer! You're Governor Spitzer!'"
Anthony Weiner and Huma Abedin's Post-Scandal Playbook (Spoiler: The disgraced Congressman is likely running for Mayor of New York City. SLNYT, Via)
"We have lit one candle today," he said. "It's going to be a bonfire pretty soon."
Bob Turner, "a little-known Republican businessman from Queens" (who is also a former producer for the Jerry Springer show) has become the first Republican elected to New York's Ninth Congressional District since the 1920's. Democrats traditionally have a 3-to-1 advantage over Republicans in the district, which makes this upset even more ... upsetting. Many consider the loss of a Democratic stronghold to be a referendum on the Obama Administration itself. Nate Silver with more analysis. [more inside]
We get to see how the 60s ends!
After some tough negotiations, AMC and Mad Men creator Matthew Weiner have come to an agreement to resume production on the series, which has been renewed for two - and possibly three - more seasons.
The ultimate weenie roaster
The Ultimate Weenie Roaster (maybe NSFW if your boss is a total prude) is a customizable hot dog holder that ensures that your, um, weiner gets proper heat distribution or something. Although it looks like you really need two to tango.

I've been having several problems with my themes at sweetsweetcircle.com
1. I've tried installing themes and for some reason they just won't show up. I've uploaded them to the WP theme directory and everything seems to be in order.
2. I've tried editing current themes (adding my own header and color scheme etc.) but most of the time no change will take place, even if I upload a completely different header.jpg file the old one persists to show up somehow.
On the occasions it does change it will only delete the old image, but not show the new one.
The theme I've been editing mostly is Rounded Corners v2, but these problems have happened on other themes as well.
Any help would really be appreciated!

Writing, but not in the way I'd intended (and it's all good)
Remember last week I asked for an accountability partner? Yeah, I still need one. My week has exploded in a variety of good ways; one is an unexpected PAYING article, which is very nice, and two and three were two separate offers of support that have pushed me in a slightly different direction. See, for a year now I've been writing an "Ask MotoAdventureGal" column that I publish for motorcycle dealers to use in their email and newsletter communications. I saw it as a win-win for them–professionally written content geared towards women riders in a time when they want to attract women riders. The win for me is that I get to advertise my motorcycle tours to a broader audience. Well, I admit that last year I hadn't done a whole lot to promote the column, and with the new year and some new input from colleagues, I've decided to really get the word out. So the last week has turned into a networking extravaganza, with amazing support from a wide variety of friends and colleagues. I AM ALWAYS AMAZED AT HOW ONE CAN MOVE MOUNTAINS WHEN ONE SETS AN INTENTION. And I admit that it feels good to be flowing creativity again, to be writing consistently (albeit not "The Book"), and it feels good to be doing this. So I know I am on the right path because it feels exciting and productive and I feel *connected*. And THAT, my friends, is why I travel. To be able to have that feeling at home, sitting in my cozy office, working toward a goal I believe in, well, it's paradise. Here's a link to my press release if you have a friend that works at a motorcycle dealership. I'd love you to forward it to them: Ask MotoAdventureGal Column Press Release Why is a monthly column my "calling"? Well, it's not just the column. It's all part of a re-invigorated MotoAdventureGal–see, I ride, I write, I repeat. I ride, I write my blog, I write my column that tells people about my riding and writing, I lead tours that teach women how to tour by motorcycle, I blog more, I write a column that helps advertise my tours, so I can ride more and write more, and I do presentations on my travels at motorcycle dealerships so I can travel and meet more people and ride more and tell more people about my tours and spend more time traveling...
Lava Hot Springs
Several summers ago Edward introduced me to soaking in Hot Springs. It was on our summer-long motorcycle adventure and boy, was I relieved to get the grime off as we'd been traveling on the small bikes and camping the entire summer. We're not those crazy-nudist-pot-smoking-hotpot-soakers (and we've met some)–we're just "normal" folks that like par boiling ourselves in mineral water. One of our favorite places to soak is Lava Hot Springs. It's about 90 miles south of Idaho Falls, and it is pure heaven. It's clean, the facility is well kept, and they offer a variety of pools with a variety of temperatures. We went there yesterday and I have to tell you, this morning and a city-water shower later, I am still feeling the soothing effects of the mineral water on my skin and on my psyche. Anyone got a favorite soaking place they want to share? Please follow and like...
Santiago de Compostela – the Credencial (credential)
I've been organizing my office and I came across the Credencial I received when I arrived at Santiago de Compostela (Spain) June 7, 2012. It was quite an important day for me–I started in Spain and I'd been walking for over a month to arrive in Santiago. Somehow, in 2012, it was MUCH more difficult that when I walked the Camino across Spain in 2006. Less fit? Plumper? Six years older? I'm not exactly sure what made it more difficult, but this time it was. This year I SUFFERED. Here's a suffering picture to refresh your memory: Here's a happier picture when I finally arrived in Santiago: And here are pics of my Credencial: Each albergue (hostel specifically for pilgrims) where you stay along the way has their own stamp. Each pilgrim carries a credencial that he/she carries. (I bought mine in St. Jean Pied du port, France, where I started the Camino, so mine's in French.) Having a stamp for each night of your walk confirms how long you have been on the Camino and also becomes the "proof" of your pilgrimage when you arrive in Santiago. There you receive a Compostela for your efforts. The Compostela is free, but a sturdy tube to roll it up in costs you a Euro. 🙂 So artistic, aren't they? Please follow and like...

AMA Conference is Over
Today was the last day of the AMA (American Motorcyclist Association) Women & Motorcycling Conference. I met so many wonderful, passionate, and courageous women here in Carson City, NV, this weekend! I didn't take too many pictures since I killed my small (portable) camera in the rain on the way down here, but here's one of my friends Joanne and Jasmine: The Women's Motorcyclist Foundation sponsored a dual-sport ride, which I led, and it was a blast.

Reasons to love the airports in the UK
I posted two entries last year about why international airports are so cool. Each airport is different, and you get to see a lot of things exclusive to a country, particularly their food. Now, there are more reasons to love airports, especially for those of us who tend to travel to them on our motorbikes. In the UK, motorcycle parking is much cheaper than if you were using a car. Some even offer free parking spaces for motorcycles, according to Parking4Less. If you don't...Read More

Umbrella Umbrella Resident Evil 6 Pre-Order Bonus

If there was ever a more fitting pre-order bonus, then an Umbrella Corporation Umbrella has to be it. Anyone who pre-orders Resident Evil 6 through Capcom's online store is in line for a full size Umbrella Corporation branded umbrella. According to the publisher, however, supplies are limited, so it you want something other than an M&S brolly to fend off rain/zombies, then it may be worth checking it out.
