Vespel® is a polyimide based material manufactured by DuPont. Thousands of critical & demanding applications in the aerospace, semiconductor and trasportation industries have been solved by the unmatched performance of Vespel. Vespel combines High-Temperature Performance, Natural Lubricity, Dimensional Stability, Chemical Resistance, Creep Resistance, and more. It does not outgas or melt at any temperature & performs well in vacuum applications, even in extremely low cryogenic temperatures. Vespel® is produced in five standard formalations including: SP-1, SP-21, SP-211, SP-22, and SP-3. Vespel SP-1 provides operating temperatures from cryogenic to 300°C (570°F), great plasma resistance, plus a UL rating for minimal electrical and thermal conductivity. Vespel® SP-1 is the unfilled base resin grade. SP-1 provides maximum physical strength, elongation, and toughness as well as the best electrical and thermal insulation values. Vespel® SP-21 has 15% graphite by weight added to the base resin for increased wear resistance and reduced friction in applications such as bearings, thrust washers, bushings, seal rings, slide blocks and other wear applications. Vespel SP-21 has the highest mechanical properties of the graphite filled grades. Vespel® SP-22 has 40% graphite by weight for enhanced wear resistance, lower friction, improved dimensional stability (low coefficient of thermal expansion), and stability against oxidation. Vespel® SP-21 has 10% PTFE and 15% graphite by weight added to the base resin for the lowest coefficient of friction over a wide range of operating conditions. It also has excellent wear resistance up to 300°F (149°C). Typical applications include sliding or linear bearings as well as many wear and friction uses listed above. Vespel® SP-3 is 15% moly-filled (molybdenum disulfide solid lubricant) for wear and friction resistance in vacuum and other moisture-free environments where graphite actually becomes abrasive. Typical applications include seals, bushings, bearings, gears, and other wear surfaces in outer space, ultra-high vacuum or dry gas applications. Vespel basic shapes are only sold through authorized distributors such as Professional Plastics, Inc. www.professionalplastics.com

Nylatron - Bearing Grade Plastic
Nylatron is a brand of molybdenum disulfine filled polyamide plastic produced by Quadrant EPP. Polyamide, more commonly known as Nylon (brand name of DuPont), is an excellent bearing & wear material. Nylatron has special fillers to improve the wear-rate for longer lasting parts in critical applications. Nylatron comes in several grades and can be produced by both extrusion and casting methods to produce basic shapes (Sheets, Rods & Tubes). These types include: 1. Nylatron® GS - is a molybdenum disulphide (MoS2) filled nylon offering improved strength and rigidity. With a lower coefficient of linear thermal expansion than Nylon 101. Nylatron GS is the extruded grade, whereas Nylatron GSM is the Cast Grade. Nylatron GS parts maintain better fit and clearances, and have less tendency to seize as bearings. 2. Nylatron GSM (cast) - contains finely divided particles of molybdenum disulphide (MoS2) to enhance its load bearing capabilities while maintaining the impact resistance inherent to nylon. It is the most commonly used grade for gears, sheaves, sprockets and custom parts. It is grey-black in color. 3. Nylatron® GSM Blue Nylon - The first cast nylon to combine both molybdenum disulphid (MoS²) and oil for the load capacity of Nylatron GSM nylon, plus improved frictional characteristics. It excels in higher pressures, and at low speeds-up to 40 fpm. It offers 20% lower coefficient of friction, 50% greater limiting PV, and a lower "k" factor than Nylatron GSM, and the lowest "slip-stick" of any nylon product making it ideal for slide pads, thrust washers and trunion bearings. Nylatron GSM Blue should be considered for any oil-filled nylon application. It is dark blue in color. 4. Nylatron® NSM - is the best bearing and wear nylon product available today. Proprietary type 6 nylon formulation produced using Quadrant's Monocast® process. Solid lubricant additives impart self-lubricating, high pressure/velocity and superior wear resistance characteristics. Nylatron NSM was developed specifically for demanding applications where larger size parts are required. It is ideal for bearings, gears and wear pads. In wear applications, Nylatron NSM lasts up to 10 times longer than standard Type 6 nylon. Proven Applications: Bearings: - Nylatron® NSM nylon offers up to 10 times longer part life than standard type 6 nylon in this pivot bushing on a mining dump truck. (Prior material: Bronze) Wear Pads:- Wear pads made of Nylatron® NSM nylon are light weight, able to support heavy loads, are non-abrasive to mating surfaces. (Prior material: Bronze and cast iron covered with UHMW-PE) Gears: - Gears made of Nylatron® NSM nylon run quieter and wear longer without the need for lubrication on processing equipment. (Prior materials: Bronze and steel) Extremely low wear factor increases part life & reduces downtime & maintenance. These products are availble from Quadrant EPP distributors such as Professional Plastics, Inc. www.professionalplastics.com

Charle Henry Armentrout V is the fifth generation in a long line of superb men. Residing in Greensboro North Carolina he is currently working on absolutley nothing at all (simply because he is so wonderfull he doesnt need to). So far in his short life he has made almost $1500. Although he has spent most of it on video games. His main talent in life is being able to fart on command (yes its true i have seen it), while this provides his friends with great entertainment it has no other apparent value.

Kaufman Cabs
Kaufman Cabs is a notorious street gang that originated in Cameron Village. Its members are usually non-white, with the exception of Larkin Coffey. The street gang doesn't usually commit violent crimes, unless against each other, however, it does make fun of popular culture through videos that mock everything from Laguna Beach to the Bush Administration. They are distinguishable from the North Raleigh Pinoy, who tend to wear expensive clothing and live in the suburbs. One incident in particular was when the gang's youngest member, Yancey Presnell, paid a Mexican for one hundred tacos and didn't leave a tip. Mauro Francisco Sarabia Garcia Rodriguez Ramierez Santana Martinez Sanchez Carlo Gonzalez Ortiz Walters the fourth is the only member who has a license, which makes the group unstoppable. Their main target is Cecil Carlyle, who is a busta and is trying to defect to the Wendell Wanksters. The Kaufman Cabs, is a very complex group that has contradicting personalities within the group. One member is a very avid Communist who hates George W. Bush, while another member believes in a goverment that combines Faciscm with a semi-monarchy and hates the lower class. The other members of the group know very little of politics, although one is rumored to be a Trotskyist.

Russell was born in England in 1862. He is usually credited as being the first ventriloquist to use a knee-sitting figure and is, therefore, known as “The Father of Modern Ventriloquism.”
Russell first appeared at the Palace in London, England in 1896 with his figure, Coster Joe, a cheeky-boy dummy that established a precedent for such famous figures as Charlie McCarthy and Jerry Mahoney.
In 1910 Russell pubnlished abook on his craft entitled "Ventriloquism and Kindred Arts." Russell died in 1957.

Pidgeons are a four-peice indie band from New Jersey. They are: Alec Gabin; Rhodes, Conor Meara; Bass, Jake Waters; Guitar, PJ MacKinley; Drums. Currently recording an album with Tamur Records (which they co-founded, along with Tricked-Out Gutter Fashion), they have an EP out, which features the songs Irrelevance, By Boat from Below, and Soundcheck (Montreal). Their other work includes such face-melting songs as Ophelia, Movement, and Red.
Pidgeons were formed when indie-band The Ish broke-up due to a dispute with their drummer, John Lemann. Conor, Alec, and Jake started a new band, along with PJ in the summer of 2005. While their recorded music is decent, their live performances far outstrip recordings (This is also because Pidgeons is a relatively new band and they haven't recorded much together yet).

Borovicka (read Boh-roh-witch-kah) also known as Juniper brandy is a Slovak national alcoholic beverage. It is distilled from Juniperus communis. Slovaks say that when you drink pure borovicka you have the smallest hangover you can imagine. But mostly it is consumed with beer. In its home country borovicka is the most consumed distillate. Nevertheless foreigners don't like it very much because of its very strong and harsh taste.

A week later the site found it's current name and home on the internet. October 15th, 2004...NG was born. Slowly but surely the site is gaining popularity among the masses and is destined to become one of the greatest fan-created web sites ever made.

Black militant youth organization in East St. Louis, Illinois from 1967-1969. Founded in March or April of 1967 as The Royal Serprents, the organization's name changed to Imperial War Lords within its first month of existence. The organization sponsored teenage dances, and frequented the First United Lutheran Church, whose pastors Sonny Goldenstein and later Keith Davis ministered to them. The group was led by Charles "Sweed" Jeffries, who was active in the East St. Louis school boycotts in the spring of 1968. He was closely associated with Charles Koen, and often arrested. The War Lords played an active role in Project IMPACT (innovative Methods of Positive Action for Community Tranquility, a federally-funded arts and recreation program in East St. Louis which sponsored summer music concerts. In 1968, the War Lords were involved in the formation of Youth Organizations United, a national coalition of street gangs, which included the Black Knights from Memphis, the Black Egyptians from East St. Louis, the Vice Lords from Chicago, the Thugs United from New Orleans and many others. At sometime in 1969, the War Lords joined with the Black Egyptians and possibly Black Culture Inc. as well to form the United Front of East St. Louis. There are few references to the War Lords after that, although in one late press release, Charles Jeffries stated that membership had been opened to whites.

nerd
n. 1. [mainstream slang] Pejorative applied to anyone with an above-average IQ and few gifts at small talk and ordinary social rituals. 2. [jargon] Term of praise applied (in conscious ironic reference to sense 1) to someone who knows what's really important and interesting and doesn't care to be distracted by trivial chatter and silly status games. Compare the two senses of computer geek.
The word itself appears to derive from the lines "And then, just to show them, I'll sail to Ka-Troo / And Bring Back an It-Kutch, a Preep and a Proo, / A Nerkle, a Nerd, and a Seersucker, too!" in the Dr. Seuss book "If I Ran the Zoo" (1950). (The spellings `nurd' and `gnurd' also used to be current at MIT.) How it developed its mainstream meaning is unclear, but sense 1 seems to have entered mass culture in the early 1970s (there are reports that in the mid-1960s it meant roughly "annoying misfit" without the connotation of intelligence).
An IEEE Spectrum article (4/95, page 16) once derived `nerd' in its variant form `knurd' from the word `drunk' backwards, but this bears all the hallmarks of a bogus folk etymology.
Hackers developed sense 2 in self-defense perhaps ten years later, and some actually wear "Nerd Pride" buttons, only half as a joke. At MIT one can find not only buttons but (what else?) pocket protectors bearing the slogan and the MIT seal.

Moosing
Two venture capitalists go moose hunting together and book a private plane into the wilderness. The guide drops them off at the lake and says “okay guys I am going to take off now you are totally on your own for a week with your food, gear, guns and whatnot. When I come back I just want to remind you that I have room for only one moose on this plane, so just keep that in mind and figure out how you will sort out the shooting on your own.” With that he hops in the plane and motors off.
A week passes.
The pilot returns and taxis to a stop.
He gets out and sees the two venture capitalists beaming at him from the shore.
“Did you get a moose?” asks the pilot excitedly as he ties up the plane to the shore. The two VCs nod happily and step apart and point at the trees behind them.
There are two moose hung up and quartered.
“GOD DAMN YOU!” howled the pilot “I only have room for one moose on this plane!” As he is hopping around angrily the two VCs look at each other, take out a stack of hundred dollar bills and start counting.
“HELL NO!” curses the pilot “These are laws of physics! Safety laws! Aerodynamics! There is no room for two moose on this plane!”
200… 300… 400…
“Even if we left all your fancy gear here, it still wouldn’t be enough” says the pilot angrily “there is no room for two moose on this plane!”
800… 900… 1000…
“We could leave your gear here, and take the seats out, and it would still be too heavy! There is no room for two moose on this plane!”
1200… 1300… 1400…
The pilot is starting to sweat a little.
“We could leave the gear here, take out the seats, and taxi down the long part of the lake towards that hill but not take off due to the weight. There is no room for two moose on this plane!”
1800… 1900… 2000…
The pilot gnaws on his fingers as they keep counting and starts to stammer.
“Even if we leave your gear, take out the seats, and taxi down the long part of the lake, we can’t do it because we got too much fuel.” He pleaded, and then stopped himself.
2100… 2200… 2300…
“Wait a minute…” He said. “We could siphon off the fuel.”
“We could take out the seats.” He added.
“We could leave your gear here.”
“We could turn the plane down the long part of the lake.”
“we could siphon off the fuel until we only had enough to coast in on fumes but YES! WE CAN PUT TWO MOOSE ON THE PLANE!”
The pilot grabbed the fistful of money, grabbed his tool box and went to work.
They took out the seats.
They put their gear higher up on the shore.
They siphoned off the gas.
They pushed in the moose carcasses and then crawled in on top.
“Yes!” Howled the pilot as he turned the plane down the long part of the lake and pushed the throttle forward.
The VC’s gripped the moose hides.
The pilot started screaming as he pulled back on the stick.
“Lift!” he howled “Liiiiiiiiiiiiift!”
The VC’s started screaming along in unison!
The engine whined louder!
The plane took off from the lake.
“WE CAN DO IT!” whooped the pilot!
The plane skirted the tops of the trees and gained altitude as it approached the hill.
They made it up to the top of the hill as the plane kept rising,
And one of the pontoons snagged a treetop and flipped the plane over to crash on the ground in a fiery wreck!
The two dazed VCs crawled from the wreckage. “where are we?” muttered the first one.
“About 200 yards farther than where we crashed last year” muttered the second in reply.

Space Beaver was the debut work of comics veteran Darick Robertson. Robertson created the title in a high school summer school history class in 1985, further defying the teachers who told him it would never amount to anything.
The main cast featured anthropomorphic funny animals firing guns and quipping at one another. In addition to Space Beaver, Beave had a mentor-like sidekick, an aged tortoise name Tog, and an impulsive and rebellious rat named "Rodent", a rabbit girlfriend "Jackie" and his main enemy, an obese hog known as "Lord Pork". Space Beaver's mission was to avenge the death of the son of Tog by destroying Lord Pork and his kingpin-like stranglehold on Space Beaver's planet 'Anutherearth'.
The title ran for nearly 3 years and Robertson produced 11 issues in all, writing the series, drawing in pencil and ink and creating the cover artwork.
Robertson produced a finale in a two volume collection published by AiT publications in 2000. The series was produced in black and white, in a era when that sort of thing was very popular.
Darick Robertson is the co-creator of Transmetropolitan. After 16 years in the industry he can easily be considered a seasoned veteran of comics, having worked for Marvel, DC, Vertigo, and a few now defunct companies, such as Malibu Comics (where he co-created and designed the Nightman, and wrote and created Ripfire), Acclaim, Eclipse and Innovation. His career started just out of Aragon high school in San Mateo, California when he was 17. He created, wrote drew and painted covers for "Space Beaver" which became the only title published by Tibor Sardy's Ten Buck Comics.

iKP [3] (where i = 1, 2, 3) is a family of secure payment protocols developed at IBM Research Labs in Zurich and Watson Research Center in the United States (1995). based on public-key cryptography and differ from each other based on the number of parties that possess their own public-key pairs. 1KP, 2KP, 3KP. The greater the number of parties that hold public-key pairs, the greater the level of security provided. The 2KP and 3KP protocols can be phased in gradually to achieve full multiparty payment security as a more sophisticated certification infrastructure is put into place.

Formally known as Deal Cinque Ports FC the club was formed in 1908 before 12 years later changing its name to the current Deal Town FC.
Deals first games were played in the Thanet League and the East Kent League until in 1909 they joined also the Eastern section of the Kent League. After the Kent League was abandoned in 1959, Deal was then to become founder members of the Aetolian League.
In 1963 Deal was elected into the Southern League but after a terrible 3 seasons Deal was then moved into the Greater London League where they remained for the 1971-72 season until yet again they regained their place in the Kent league to which they have held their place in ever since to this day.
Deals first Kent League Championship came in 1953-54 after that their best seasons have only been in 1988-89 when they finished runners up and in 1998-99 when they also came runners up.
Deal has however had a good run in the Kent League Cup reaching the final on 4 separate occasions. Their first was in 1957-58 where they emerged victorious against Margate and again in 1981-82 where they again won the cup this time against Erith & Belevedere. In 1993-94 Deal lost in the final to their old opponents Margate but turned it around and 1998-99 saw Deal once again lift the cup for the 3rd time this time against VCD Athletic in a 1-0 victory.
Deal also made 3 appearances in the Kent Senior Trophy Final. They were beaten finalists in 1982-83 against Fisher athletic and lost the final again in 1990-91 but this time to Hythe Town. But third time lucky to Deal when in 1994-95 they finally managed to lift the trophy in an epic penalty shootout against local club Folkestone Invicta following a 2-2 draw.
The only other trophy since to come Deals way was the Greater London League Cup which they won in 1967-68. Deal also gained proud distinction in 1991-92 when they became highest goal scorers within the Pyramid of Football.
1999-00 was with no question Deals finest season seeing them to be Champions of the Kent league and the first ever Kent team to be finalist let alone Winners of the FA Vase in 2000 against Chippenham town
