Lavonte David from the Tampa Bay Buccaneers joins us this afternoon to give us his thoughts on the 2013 season and the firing of Greg Schiano and Mark Dominik. Lavonte was surprised by the move and found out after he has already left the Bucs facility.
When asked if the players bought in, David said that Schiano was very hands on and was not the dictator that everyone said and that he was a coach who treated everyone like men.
When asked about the next coach, David said that they will want a guy who will be someone who will let them be themselves and have fun. Also, David talked about not making the pro bowl, that he was shocked when he saw that he did not make it as a pro bowler, and that he was named an alternate.

A hoist control system having a limit switch assembly is utilized in a pendant controlled pneumatic hoist to limit hoist travel to a predetermined range within preset upper and lower limits. The hoist travel limits and the range are controlled by a pair of limit switches which are actuated by a pair of actuating members which move in response to rotation of the hoist motor. The initial positions of these movable members are independently preset by initially setting them on a threaded shaft which is mounted proximately to the limit switches. The shaft rotates in response to hoist motor rotation causing the constrained movable members to move linearly along the threaded rotating shaft until they actuate one of the limit switches. The actuated limit switch controls a valve assembly to prevent supply air from driving the hoist motor to thereby stop further hoist movement.
1. A limit switch actuated control valve assembly for supplying power to the air motor of an air motor driven hoist comprising:
a housing forming a main chamber communicating with an exhaust port for venting the main chamber, a supply inlet port for providing supply air to the main chamber, and an outlet port for supplying supply air from the main chamber to the air motor;
piston means slidably mounted within the main chamber to seal the exhaust port and connect the supply inlet port to the outlet port in a first position and to seal the air supply port and connect the outlet port to the exhaust port in a second position;
a biasing pressure chamber formed in said housing on one side of said piston means
limit switch means for moving said piston means between said first and second positions in response to a control signal, said limit switch means including a normally open valve connected to the biasing pressure chamber to supply air to the pressure chamber and maintain said piston means in said first position until said control signal is provided; and
means for providing a control signal to said limit switch means upon the hoist reaching a predetermined hoisting position.
2. Apparatus as claimed in claim 1, including a first control valve assembly for supplying power to said air motor in a hoist raising direction and a second control valve assembly for supplying power to said air motor in a hoist lowering direction, a common exhaust conduit connecting the exhaust ports of said first and second control valve assemblies, and a muffler connected to the outlet end of said common exhaust conduit.
3. Apparatus as claimed in claim 1, including first valve seat means formed in said main chamber, second valve seat means formed in said biasing pressure chamber, a first valve element formed on said piston means cooperating with said first valve seat means to control air flow between said inlet port and said outlet port, and a second valve element formed on said piston means cooperating with said second valve seat means to control air flow between said outlet port and said exhaust port.
4. Apparatus as claimed in claim 3, in which said piston means comprises an elongated cylindrical member having said first valve element formed adjacent one end thereof and said second valve element formed adjacent a second end thereof, said valve elements being coaxially formed on said cylindrical member and spaced apart thereon relative to said first and second valve seat means so that said first valve element closes against said first valve seat element when said second valve element is in an open condition relative to said second valve seat element and vice versa.
5. Apparatus as claimed in claim 4, including a biasing spring acting on said first end of said cylindrical element to bias said first valve element toward its closed condition, and an enlarged diameter piston element formed at the extreme second end of said cylindrical member adjacent said second valve element and in sealing engagement with a wall of said biasing pressure chamber, the area of said piston element relative to said first valve element and said biasing spring being sufficiently large to insure that said cylindrical member is biased to a position biasing said first valve element to its open condition when equal pressures are applied to said main chamber and said biasing pressure chamber.
6. A hoist control system having limit switches to maintain hoist travel within predetermined limits comprising:
an air motor for driving the hoist in either a load raising or a load lowering direction in response to rotation thereof;
a control valve connected between an air supply and said air motor for selectively activating said air motor in either the load raising or lowering direction;
pendant means for providing said air supply to said control valve in response to actuation thereof by a hoist operator;
limit switch means for deactivating said control valve in response to a predetermined movement of the hoist in either the load raising or lowering direction;
connecting means for coupling said hoist motor to said limit switch means including a threaded shaft rotatably mounted proximately to said hoist motor and being responsive thereto to rotate in response to rotation of said hoist motor;
said limit switch means including a first traveling nut threaded on one end of said shaft, a second traveling nut threaded on the opposite end of said shaft, a first actuator mounted proximate one end of said shaft to be triggerable by said first nut, a second actuator mounted proximate the opposite end of said shaft to be triggerable by said second nut, retaining means for preventing rotation of said first and second nut with rotation of said shaft while allowing said first and second nuts to laterally move along said shaft in response to rotation of said shaft, and signal generating means including a normally open valve connected between said pendant means and said control valve, said normally open valve being closed by one of said actuators when moved to a predetermined spot on said shaft by the rotation thereof to shut off said air supply to said control valve.
7. A hoist control system as set forth in claim 6 wherein said control valve has formed therein a vent port, and wherein said signal generating means includes a pair of normally open valves connected to said control valve, said pair of valves normally providing a first signal for blocking the vent port of said control valve and providing said air supply to said motor, said pair of valves providing a second signal for blocking said air supply from said motor and opening said vent port whenever one of said valves is closed by one of said actuators.
1. Field of the Invention
The present invention relates to hoist control systems generally and more particularly to a hoist control system having limit switches to maintain hoist travel within predetermined limits.
2. Description of the Prior Art
Hoists are known which limit their chain or rope travel to a predetermined range by the use of various limiting devices. Such devices include trip switches for shutting off hoist power. These switches are actuated by trip members located on the chain or rope of the hoist. As the hoist travels to a predetermined raising or lowering position the trip member at the appropriate end of the chain or rope will actuate the trip switch mounted proximately to the chain or rope guide member. The trip switch will then shut off power to the hoist motor to thereby stop the hoist.
Large capacity pneumatic hoists utilize plunger actuated, normally open, valve members mounted in the vicinity of the chain guide as trip switches and enlarged beads on opposite ends of the chain or rope as the trip members. When the enlarged bead on the chain or rope depresses the valve plunger, the normally open valve closes. Since this valve is connected in line with the hoist motor, power to the motor is effectively blocked thereby and the hoist is stopped.
Small capacity pneumatic hoists usually do not provide limit switches. Instead they rely on a brake clutch arrangement whereby the clutch slips upon a predetermined load being applied to the hoist. Thus whenever either end of the chain or wire rope interfere with the chain guide the clutch slips and further hoist movement is prevented. However, the motor is not shut off and provisions have to be made for dissipating any heat generated in the brake clutch.
The above described systems for limiting the range of hoist travel are beset with specific problem areas. Since the trip members are located on the chain or wire rope of the hoist, these members are always exposed to the work area external of the hoist where the trip members can be moved or damaged by the load being lifted or by other objects located in the work area. The trip switches also can be damaged by impact with the lifted load. Where a brake clutch arrangement is used, some added structure is required to dissipate the heat generated in the brake clutch. This added structure adds to the cost and longevity of the hoist.
These problems and others are solved by the present invention which provides an inexpensive system of limiting hoist travel to predetermined limits which system is safely enclosed within the hoist assembly and which provides an accurate and easily adjustable range of hoist travel.
In accordance with one aspect of the present invention, a hoist control system is provided which maintains hoist travel within predetermined limits through a uniquely connected and mounted limit switch assembly. The limit switch assembly is mounted proximately to the hoist motor and is responsive thereto to deactivate the hoist motor upon a predetermined rotation of the hoist motor. This is accomplished by mounting a threaded rotating shaft proximately to the hoist motor to allow motor rotation to rotate the shaft. A pair of threaded nut members are constrained on the shaft to linearly move on the shaft in response to its rotation. A pair of actuators are mounted proximate to the opposite ends of the shaft and are actuated by the nut members whenever they move along the shaft to the position of the actuators. The actuators upon actuation by the nut members prevent rotation of the hoist motor to stop the hoist.
Clearly the present limit switch system is located away from any areas wherein there is danger of having the system jammed, repositioned, or broken by the hoist load or other objects external of the hoist since the present system is mounted proximately to the hoist motor and may be enclosed along with the hoist motor. Also the desired range of hoist travel may be more easily and accurately set by simply positioning the nut members to a desired starting position on the threaded shaft.
In specific application to a pneumatic hoist, the limit switch assembly is coupled with a control valve which supplies air to an air motor driving the hoist. The control valve is a piston controlled valve which connects supply air to the air motor of the hoist until the control valve is actuated by the limit switch assembly. Upon such actuation the control valve exhausts the supply air to atmosphere to effectively short circuit the air motor supply.
It will thus be seen that one aspect of the present invention is to provide a hoist control system having a limit switch assembly mounted proximately to the hoist motor and being operable therefrom.
Another aspect of the present invention is to provide a hoist limit switch assembly which is actuated upon a predetermined hoist rotation to cut off power to the hoist motor.
Yet another aspect of the present invention is to provide a control valve for a pneumatic hoist which is actuated by the limit switch assembly to exhaust supply air normally supplied to the hoist motor upon a predetermined rotation of the hoist motor.
These and other objects will be more clearly understood upon consideration of the following description of the preferred embodiment and the drawings.
FIG. 1 is a perspective drawing of a pendant controlled pneumatic hoist with a cut-away section in the area of the limit switch assembly.
FIG. 2 is an expanded end view of the limit switch assembly of FIG. 1.
FIG. 3 is a side view of the limit switch assembly of FIG. 2.
FIG. 3a is an opposite side view of the assembly of FIG. 3 showing the actuators of the limit switch assembly.
FIG. 4 is a schematic drawing of a main air supplied pendant controlled valve for providing supply air to the hoist motor.
FIG. 5 is a schematic drawing of a pilot air supplied pendant control for providing supply air to the hoist motor.
Referring now to the drawings wherein the showings are of a preferred embodiment of the present invention it will be understood that the previously described invention is not limited to the depicted embodiment but could just as easily be used in conjunction with electric powered hoists as well as other machinery requiring a controlled range of movement.
As may be best seen with reference to FIG. 1 the preferred embodiment of the invention is in a pneumatic hoist 10 which is driven by an air motor 12 and controlled by a hoist operator through a pendant control 14. The hoist 10 is suspended from a support surface by a hook 16 and is powered by supply air through a supply line 18. Air is transmitted from the hoist 10 to the pendant 14 by connecting lines 20 which selectively power the motor 12 to rotate in a predetermined direction depending upon the operator's actuation of either levers 22 or 24 which are located on the pendant 14. The motor 12 is connected to a chain or wire rope assembly 26 through a gear train (not shown) to provide the desired lifting force and speed to the chain or rope 26. The chain 26 carries a load on a hook 28 and either raises or lowers the load in response to selective rotation of the motor 12. The heretofore described structure and its operation is well known to those skilled in the art and will not be described in further detail for the sake of conciseness and readability.
A unique limit switch assembly 30 is mounted proximate to the hoist motor 12 wherein it is easily enclosed by housing 32 which may be an extension of the motor 12 housing or even an extension of a hoist housing 34 when the motor is enclosed therein. This location of the limit switch assembly 30 insures that the assembly will be protected from the usually dirty and crowded work area of the hoist 10 from which the assembly 30 could be easily fouled or broken. The limit switch assembly 30 is mounted proximately to the hoist motor 12 which actuates the assembly 30 and which is in turn controlled by the same assembly 30. This allows a centralization of the required control elements resulting in a less expensive and easily assembled total assembly.
Referring now to FIGS. 2, 3, and 3a with particular reference to FIG. 3 it will be seen that the limit switch assembly 30 is connected to be responsive to the motor 12 through a connecting assembly 40 connected to the main drive shaft of the hoist to insure constant relative positioning of the limit switch assembly 30 and the position of the chain or rope assembly 26. This connecting assembly 40 includes a coupling shaft 42 having a drive pinion gear 44 mounted thereto. The pinion gear 44 is driven by a drive gear 46 which responds to motor 12 rotation. The other end of the coupling shaft 42 has mounted thereon a worm gear 48 which drives a worm gear 50 to rotate a threaded shaft limit switch assembly 52 rotatably supported on a support structure 54. Clearly the shaft 52 will rotate in response to hoist motor 12 rotation in either a clockwise or a counterclockwise direction depending upon the rotational direction of the motor 12.
Threaded on the shaft 52 are a pair of actuating members 56 and 58 in the form of internally threaded nuts having threaded portions compatible to the threads of the threaded shaft 52. Each member 56 and 58 has an extended face 60 and 62 which is hexagonal but which may also be sprocketed and which interferes with a removable retainer plate 64 which is affixed to the support structure 54 by screws 66. The slots holding the screws 66 are angled to insure that the plate 64 always returns to the actuator member 56 and 58 interfering position even if the screws 66 are not tightened. The support plate 64 prevents the actuating members 56 and 58 from rotating with the threaded shaft 52 and thereby constrains them to move linearly along the shaft 52 in response to rotation of the shaft 52. The direction of shaft 52 rotation will determine the direction of linear movement of the members 56 and 58 along the shaft 52. A pair of limit actuators 68 and 70 are pivotally mounted through the support member 54 proximately to the ends of the shaft 52. The placement of the actuators 68 and 70 is such that they would be respectively pivoted or tripped by either the actuating members 56 or 58 when they move a predetermined distance along the shaft 52. The tripped actuators 68 and 70 thereby provide an indication of upper and lower limits of hoist chain 26 travel. The amount of such travel is determined by the initial positioning of the members 56 and 58 on the shaft 52. To provide this initial positioning the retainer plate 64 must be removed. With the retainer plate 64 removed, the members 56 and 58 may be independently threaded to move up or down on the shaft 52 to set the respective upper and lower hoist chain 26 travel limits. The difference in travel between these set limits then represents the range of hoist chain 26 travel. The accuracy of these set points and consequently the range of chain 26 travel is determined by the number of threads per linear length of shaft 52. The set points and range may be set by first moving the hoist 10 to the desired limits and threading the respective member 56 or 58 along the shaft 52 until the respective actuator 68 or 70 is tripped. The retainer plate 64 is then replaced to prevent the members 56 and 58 from stationarily rotating with the shaft 52.
The switch assembly 30 is now coordinated to hoist chain 26 travel and will repeatedly trip the respective actuators 68 and 70 at the respective preset limits of chain 26 travel to maintain hoist travel within the preset range.
To insure that the hoist will stop operating at these upper and lower hoist limits the actuators 68 and 70 control the operation of the hoist 10 air supply to prevent supply air from reaching the hoist motor 12. As may be best seen with reference to FIG. 3a, the limit actuators 68 and 70 accomplish this by controlling their respective normally open 3-way valves 72 and 74. As the actuating member 56 is driven along the shaft 52 it will eventually pivot the limit actuator 68 causing it to depress an actuating pin 76 which prevents flow between an inlet port 80 and an outlet port 82 of the valve 72. Similarly when actuating member 58 depresses an actuating pin 78 flow through the 3-way valve 74 is prevented between an inlet 84 and an outlet 86. The interruption of normal flow through either valve 72 or 74 prevents supply air from reaching the hoist motor 12 thereby preventing the hoist 10 from being further controllable by the pendant 14.
The aforedescribed limit control system is adaptable to hoists having either pilot air or main supply air controlling pendants. As may be best seen with reference to FIG. 4, a hoist assembly is shown wherein the pendant 14 controls the supply of main supply air to the hoist motor 12 through a control valve 88 which is mounted proximately to the hoist motor 12. Opposite sides of the motor 12 are connected to the valve 88 by connecting lines 94 and 96 which are respectively connected to separate outlets 90 and 92. Supply air is selectively transmitted by the pendant 14 to separate inlet chambers 98 and 100 of the control valve 88 along connecting lines 102 and 104 by the selective depression of the levers 22 and 24. The chambers 98 and 100 are in respective communication with the valve outlets 90 and 92 so long as the normally open 3-way valves 72 and 74 remain unactuated by the limit switch assembly 30. The motor 12 may thus be driven in either rotational direction by the application of supply air to one or the other side of the motor 12. The valves 72 and 74 bias one side of respective pistons 106 and 108 against springs 114 and 116 by pressurizing chambers 110 and 112 with pilot air derived from lines 102 and 104, respectively. The pressure of the pilot air works against a larger surface area 118 and 120 of the respective pistons 106 and 108 to produce a larger force than that produced by the pressure of the supply air working against the smaller area on the opposite end of the pistons 106 and 108 along with the force of the restoring springs 114 and 116.
Thus to operate the hoist in a load lifting direction the operator depresses lever 22 causing supply air to flow from the pendant 14 to the inlet chamber 98 and the pilot chamber 110 through connecting lines 102 and 80. The supply air then is communicated therefrom to the air motor 12 by outlet 90 and connecting line 94 causing the motor 12 to rotate in a clockwise direction and raise the load thereby. The shaft 52 rotates in response to motor 12 rotation causing the actuating member 56 to move laterally along the shaft 52 until the limit actuator 68 is pivoted to close the normally open 3-way valve 72. Valve 72 being a 3-way valve quickly depressurizes the chamber 110 and the piston 106 is driven to the right by the force of the spring 114 and the supply air to block the outlet 90 from communication with the inlet chamber 98. This prevents further supply air from reaching the hoist motor 12 and the hoist will no longer respond to actuation of the lever 22.
The hoist may be driven, however, in the load lowering direction from either this maximum load raising position or any other position by depressing the lever 24 to supply the other side of the hoist motor 12 with supply air through connecting line 96. The hoist motor 12 will be thus driven in a counterclockwise direction with the actuating member 58 moving laterally along the shaft 52 until the limit actuator 70 is pivoted to close the normally open three-way valve 74. The piston 108 will now similarly move to the right under the force of the spring 116 and the supply pressure to block further flow of supply air to the motor 12. The hoist is now unresponsive to further actuation of the lever 24 having reached its lower limit. Again, however, the hoist may be moved in the load raising direction by depressing the lever 22.
It will be noted that the control valve 88 has a large vent port 122 which communicates with the air motor 12 by way of outlets 90 and 92 and lines 94 and 96 when either of the pistons 106 and 108 are in the furthermost righthand positions. This insures that when the hoist reaches either its upper or lower limits the motor 12 will be quickly vented to the atmosphere through a muffler 124 to quickly stop any further motor 12 rotation.
From the foregoing it will be seen that the present limit control system when used with a control valve 88 and a main supply air providing pendant 14 will allow the hoist 10 to operate only in a range of chain travel between an upper and a lower limit. Upon reaching either of these limits the hoist motor 12 is shut off and will not respond to the control of the pendant 14 indicating further movement of the hoist in the same direction.
Referring now to FIG. 5 it will be seen that the present limit control system can also be used with a pilot air operated pendant 14' and a pilot air controlled control valve 126. The normally open three-way valves 72 and 74 are connected in line with connecting lines 128 and 130 which transmit the application of pilot air from the pendant 14' to the control valve 126. The control valve 126 is mounted proximately to the hoist motor 12 and normally provides main supply air to both sides of the motor 12 along lines 132 and 134 from a chamber 136 connected to the main air supply. The motor 12 is, therefore, pressure balanced and will not rotate in either direction until this balanced condition is upset. The control valve 126 has a spool member 138 located within a cavity therein and balanced between a pair of springs 140 and 142. When hoist movement is desired in the load raising direction the operator depresses lever 22' which permits the flow of pilot air to one side of the spool member 138 along line 130 and increases the pressure thereto. The spool member 138 becomes unbalanced and moves to a position connecting the line 132 to a vent line 149 and supplying main supply air to only line 134. One side of the motor 12 is now variably exhausted through a muffler 148 to atmosphere and the air supplied side causes the motor 12 to rotate and the chain 26 to move in a load lifting direction. This direction is maintained until the limit actuator 72 is triggered to shut off and then exhaust pilot air flow to the previously pressurized side of the spool member 138 and leave the member 138 balanced by the springs 140 and 142. The springs will return the spool member 138 to its initial position of supplying supply air to both sides of the motor 12 along lines 132 and 134 and preventing further motor rotation.
The hoist will be similarly driven in the load lowering direction by depressing lever 24' until the actuator 70 shuts off the normally open valve 74. Thus an upper and lower limit is provided for hoist chain travel in hoist control systems utilizing pilot air supplying pendants and pressure balanced air motors.
Certain modifications and improvements will occur to those skilled in the art after reading this specification. Expansion of all such improvements and modifications will not be discussed in detail herein for the sake of conciseness and readability but it will be understood that the disclosure is encompassing thereof.

I just got my XO1 - love this car. The only annoying problem I have had with it is a nasty, crunchy sound as the body rubs on the chassis over less than perfect pavement. Has anyone had this problem??
It does not effect performance, it just makes the car sound cheap and as we all know this thing is anything but cheap.
I was thinking about trimming the body a bit on the bottom edges but then you would lose some aerodynamics.
I am running the car stock out of the box - that is plenty fast for me.

Marie Theresa Davis wears a number of hats in the beauty industry. She is a licensed aesthetician, massage therapist, nail technician, and certified personal fitness trainer. The well-rounded owner of House of Chi Spa uses all of her expertise during a variety of services, such as reiki treatments, acne-clearing facials, gel manicures, spray-tanning sessions, and weight-loss programs. She also eases sunburned skin with body wraps and applies permanent makeup to clients' faces.
Board-certified dermatologist Dr. Barry Resnik has a number of outlets for his talents: he serves as the team dermatologist for the Florida Marlins; he volunteers at the Open Door Health Center, which offers affordable healthcare; and, at the Resnik Skin Institute, he practices dermatology and dermatologic surgery for adults, kids, and snakes who can't shed because they slithered through crazy glue.
Dr. Resnik's skincare ambitions are vast, covering everything from medical concerns such as psoriasis and alopecia to cosmetic desires and skin conditions such as scar management and moles. Ever tech-savvy, the doctor's staff mans lasers to nix unwanted stretch marks and sun spots, and they also summon a Naturalipo liposuction machine, a skin-lightening system, and a stock of dermal fillers to do their bidding.
The technicians at Brow Obsession by anarkali specialize in threading, waxing, facials, henna art and makeup. They use hypoallergenic cotton thread to remove unwanted hair, and because they don't want to waste customers' time, clients can book their appointments online 24/7.
On August 21, 2010, the offices of EliteHealth.MD LLC got a disturbing call. One of their patients had fractured a vertebra during a dive into too-shallow water and was now paralyzed below the chest. Things were further complicated by her location, as a visit to her family in the Bahamas had put her more than 300 miles from Florida. But that didn't stop Dr. Steven Schnur and his team from immediately springing into action to help her. An air ambulance lifted her to Ryder Trauma Center in Florida, where the chairman of the University of Miami's neurological-surgery department led a medical team to repair the break in her spine.
This quick, effective response demonstrates the scope and resources of EliteHealth, an international network of physicians coordinated by Drs. Schnur and Perry Krichmar. Though EliteHealth's team ably handles emergency situations like this one, its focus lies in preventive medicine. Three levels of membership grant patients access to a suite of medical services, screenings, and diagnostics scheduled throughout the year. These range from heart scans to Elite|Fit Forever, a gene-decoding and metabolic-testing program that develops nutrition and exercise recommendations based on each patient's genetics. Members also qualify for the EliteHealth Annual Wellness Exam, which monitors patients for early indicators of common degenerative diseases such as cancer.
To further facilitate this approach to ongoing integrative care, EliteHealth operates locations within the United States and beyond. The myEliteHealth online portal helps patients keep in touch with their physicians without forcing them to shout into a really long stethoscope.
The dermal gurus at Lasergenex Tattoo Removal Center brandish a laser known as the Medlite Q-Switch to chip away at unwanted pigments. For up to 30 minutes, the tool releases very short pulses of light that enter the skin and break apart the ink's pigments, eradicating cuffs of Excel spreadsheets. Skin-plains are constantly refreshed with a blizzard of air released by the Zimmer Cryo 5 Skin Cooler to minimize discomfort, though sedative options are available. In the next few weeks, the body's own immune system continues to dispose of the pigment; the length of recovery time and efficacy of laser treatments depends on skin tone as well as ink tone, quality, color, and depth. At the treatment center, airy white walls create a calming atmosphere, as do cooing doves ready to settle on any shoulder.
Drs. Michelle Barnes, a board-certified internist, and J. Castillo-Plaza, a gynecologic and laser surgeon, love focusing on the aesthetic aspect of medicine. Making clients beautiful, they find, is such a welcoming break from traditional medicine, which just doesn't give patients the same boost of confidence and youthfulness that can follow a facial-filler injection or cellulite treatment. That's why all of their services, from a basic facial peel to SmartLipo laser-assisted liposuction to Botox injections for underarm sweating can help to make patients feel beautiful. That's also why instead of a clinical med-spa setting, the office is a place of tranquility, where patients can inhale lavender-scented aromatherapy or sip complimentary tea, coffee, or water while taking in the Asian decor of bamboo, Buddha statues, and sushi rolls glued to the walls.

|Rams sign son of former Pro Bowl tight end

|Monday, 09 July 2007 11:23
Jackson, a 315-pounder from Arkansas, was chosen in the seventh round in the April draft. He is the third 2007 draft choice to sign with the Rams.
Jackson was an Associated Press all-Southeastern Conference selection last season after registering 79 tackles, 2.5 sacks and two interceptions for the Razorbacks. His father, Keith Jackson, starred for the Philadelphia Eagles in the 1980s and '90s and also played for Miami and Green Bay.
The Rams previously signed third-round pick Jonathan Wade, a cornerback from Tennessee, and another seventh-rounder, wide receiver Derek Stanley of Wisconsin-Whitewater.

DENVER, Nov. 12, 2012 /PRNewswire-iReach/ -- Denver Cyber Security, an IT security firm providing custom solutions for companies throughout the state of Colorado, has recently been acquired by internet marketing and web development firm Denver Web Services. The cyber security component of the newly combined company brings critical strength to the operations of web development by providing protection for IT assets and other sensitive information.
(Photo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20121112/CG10974)
According to Ray Hutchins, President of Denver Web Services, "These two are a natural fit because any company doing business on the web is exposed to one degree or another to cyber security attack, whether from a malicious source or from a competitor wishing to uncover propriety company information. The target may be as simple as a company's customer database, but the solution is obvious: leading-edge, continuously-vigilant cyber security."
Denver Web Services recognized early on that cyber security should be offered as an integral part of web development and deployment. Denver Web Services is an internet marketing and web development firm that specializes in search engine optimization (SEO), an essential strategy for driving high page rankings for businesses seeking to increase market share by maximizing their presence on Google and Bing.
Hutchins stated, "The fact that internet marketing and SEO are such powerful drivers of business has made it practically mandatory for companies to maintain an internet presence – and as the law of unintended consequences often proves – this very connection and reliance on the internet has become a source of vulnerability. Cyber security has become a concern for every business that is connected to the internet in any way. And what company is not connected to the internet? Whether a company needs to protect its own systems, proprietary software, and trade secrets – or whether customer data is at stake, ignoring the stakes and the possible liabilities is no longer an option."
As Shawn Henry, Executive Assistant Director of the FBI stated in the March 28th, 2012 edition of the Wall Street Journal, "I do not believe that there is a single, secure, unclassified computer network in the U.S. today." This is alarming news from the agency most responsible for securing the nation's IT assets, and the keyword in his statement is the word "unclassified." This designation essentially encompasses every area outside of the government and military.
Attacking the serious issue of cyber security is not just for huge organizations such as the government. It is an issue for everyone: every person, every business because the cost of an operational interruption could become very serious very quickly. The effect of it could easily be cascading, and the escalation could result in enormous damage almost overnight. This, of course, could very possibly include devastating costs, both financially and to a company's reputation in the marketplace.
It has therefore become mandatory that businesses and individuals protect themselves. The massive proliferation of new interconnected technologies has opened areas of vulnerability that must be mitigated and integrated with proper security configurations, safeguards, and monitoring in order to protect from attack and exploitation.
Denver Cyber Security is led by Ray Hutchins, who is CISSP trained and an active member of the Denver chapter of the ISSA. The company is a partner of Solutionary, one of the top managed security providers in the United States (along with others such as Dell, Verizon, AT&T, IBM, and Symantec).
By utilizing cloud-based technology, Solutionary effectively delivers its security solutions without requiring the purchase of on-site equipment. This cloud-based approach gives businesses the ability to expand the service as their needs grow and change. A cloud-based infrastructure also provides economies of scale that allow for the delivery of very cost-effective solutions.
Hutchins stated, "Again, I can't speak strongly enough to the need to protect my clients' security issues – and also to find innovative ways to ensure that they have the very best shot possible at winning the turf wars at Google and Bing. Having a great website is just the beginning; in fact, it is the foundation of any successful online business strategy, but utilizing search engine optimization effectively as a marketing tool demands thinking out of the box and taking advantage of every possible avenue. And doing it well also includes adding that extra layer of security that only cyber security can provide."

Former Murder Inc. CEO Irv Gotti has revealed past plans he and ex-Death Row Records owner Suge Knight had to set up a labor deal for all musicians.
Irv claims Knight came up with the idea and approached him about it in the early 2000's.
"It wasn't a distribution; it was a union. In the music business, the artists, we have no union. There's no health care, it's nothing like that. It should be done," Gotti explained in an interview. "It was all his plan, and it was a h*ll of a plan — He was like, 'OK, say you got a million-dollar budget. We're gonna make the record label make it a million and one.' Now, this will all get recouped back to the artist, but that hundred thousand will go for the union." (MTV)
The union plans were later botched after Gotti's Murder Inc. office was raided in 2003.
A task force of FBI agents and New York Police Department (NYPD) officers raided the Manhattan offices of urban imprint Murder Inc. early Friday. The raid came as part of a federal probe of label founder Irv Gotti's alleged ties to drug trafficking, money laundering, and gang activities, according to a Los Angeles Times report. A former Def Jam Music Group A&R executive, Gotti (real name: Irving Lorenzo) started Murder Inc. in 1997 and has been instrumental in the careers of numerous pop and hip-hop stars, including Ashanti, Ja Rule, Jay-Z, DMX, and Jennifer Lopez. (Billboard)
Outside of union talk, Suge Knight recently made headlines for getting a documentary approved for premium network Showtime.
Controversial Death Row Records co-founder Marion "Suge" Knight Jr. is the focus of a documentary that will be produced by and broadcast on Showtime, the network announced Tuesday. Tentively titled "Suge Knight," the film will be directed by Antoine Fuqua ("Training Day," "Brooklyn's Finest") and co-produced by Fuqua and Bradley J. Fischer ("Black Swan," "Shutter Island," "Zodiac"). Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist and former Times reporter Chuck Philips is also one of the film's co-producers. Showtime said the Knight film is the first in a series of documentaries for the network from "talented and prestigious filmmakers" that "will spotlight iconic and controversial figures." (The Los Angeles Times)
Co-producer Bradley J. Fischer also released a statement confirming the deal last month.
"Suge Knight's reputation and rise to power in the music business has become the stuff of legend, and he remains one of the entertainment industry's most provocative and enduring myths," said Fischer. "But while his name elicits an immediate and powerful reaction from people around the world, very few can legitimately claim to know the man. Antoine Fuqua and I are thrilled to be partnering with SHOWTIME to tell this remarkable story and take audiences behind a curtain that most have been terrified to even approach." (Statement)

#1 UPDATE EX-employee responds
No offense taken
AUTHOR: Luigi Ferrari - (U.S.A.)
SUBMITTED: Wednesday, August 01, 2007POSTED: Wednesday, August 01, 2007
Manoj at times will go by the name Luigi or Mario Ferrari an act like a mover in the houses and have his wife play the role of the owner on the phone with customers, he feels like it is less confrontational if he is just the "driver" while in customers houses.
It is fine if you don't trust me with your information all I was doing was offering ex inside information in how his business and scams work. As far as doing your own homework and looking up the legal stuff in courthouses, there is no moving company by name of ferrari moving there is no bobby ferrari jr, bobby ferrari sr, yada the customers dont know the real name of the company hence the driver will not unload until credit card is punched in over the phone through a bogus shell company.
But guess it is like you say no reason to trust me so I'm wasting my time anyways. Was merely trying to get enough people lumped together to file and get him blackballed from fmcsa. Can't do that without actual contracts and proof
Best of luck in your endeavors

To everyone ever burned by Ferrari Moving
AUTHOR: Luigi Ferrari - (U.S.A.)
SUBMITTED: Wednesday, August 01, 2007POSTED: Wednesday, August 01, 2007
If you are interested in pursuing litigations against aka "Bobby Ferrari" Contact me, have your contract and empty/loaded scale tickets and I can look over it and tell you exactly how much you got ripped off by. I worked for him for over a year, for awhile I was "bobby's" right hand man.
He manipulates the broker nationwide and other brokers against the customers and calls broker to manipulate customer against the broker, then has no loyalty to his employees who he forces into doing illegal transcations or they dont get their pay at end of the month.
I would like anyone burned by him to contact me, and hopefully enough of you are willing I will push it through with fmsca to take his dot numbers, get him for fuel tax evasion, and possible class action lawsuit to perm shut him out of the moving business.

#4 Consumer Suggestion
Here's where you can send the insurance claim to:
AUTHOR: Sharon - (U.S.A.)
SUBMITTED: Monday, January 08, 2007POSTED: Monday, January 08, 2007
Attn: JADWIGA LISZEWSKI, TRAVELERS PROP. CASUALTY
Address: 1 TOWER SQUARE -PMD-6GS
Telephone: (860) 954 - 5523
Fax: (860) 954 - 5281
Cargo Insurance Policy # QT 660 5502C558
Actually, there are several policies for Ferrari with this company, all have similar policy numbers. This should at least get the insurer to the right account so you can file your claim directly with them. I don't think it will take much convincing on your part when they ask why you didn't file directly with the mover.
I think you should also contact the FL Attorney General's Economic Crimes Division. Threatening bodily harm for filing a legitimate insurance claim would probably interest them.

Winnipeg Free Press - PRINT EDITION
Right up our alley
Robert Sweeney's meticulous sketches of Winnipeg's streets and buildings reveal the city's charms
You won't find Robert Sweeney penning irate letters to the editor or organizing protests to save heritage buildings.
"I'm not an activist," the St. James resident says. "I pretty much stick to myself."
But in his own introverted way, Sweeney, 58, is encouraging Winnipeggers to appreciate their unique surroundings. For more than 30 years, the artist and designer has been making meticulously detailed sketches of local buildings, bridges, parks, rivers and street scenes.
"I've always been fascinated with streetscapes and the urban landscape," he says. "It's become a passion to document all aspects of the city."
Sweeney has two upcoming book-signing appearances to promote Portraits of Winnipeg: The River City in Pen and Ink, a slim hardcover collection of nearly 50 of his precise sketches, recently published by Winnipeg's Turnstone Press.
He'll be at McNally Robinson Booksellers Saturday from 2 to 4 p.m., and at Chapters in St. Vital Centre on Aug. 20 from 1 to 4 p.m.
The $20 book, targeted at both tourists and residents, includes scenes of the Exchange District and downtown -- including newer structures such as Manitoba Hydro Place and the MTS Centre -- as well as landmarks such as the Legislative Building, Union Station, St. Boniface Basilica, St. Boniface City Hall, Royal Canadian Mint, St. Mary's Academy, Dalnavert, the Ukrainian Labour Temple, the Witch's Hut at Kildonan Park and the Esplanade Riel.
Each image is accompanied by text, but the book is mostly pictorial. An appendix dates each structure and credits the architect.
For many years the artist used only black ink, but Portraits of Winnipeg sees him branching out into full colour.
Sweeney, a history buff, generally starts with a photograph -- either recent or archival -- as a point of reference. It takes him 30 to 35 hours to complete an 11x17-inch sketch.
He started his current colour series in 2007 and has completed about 150 of them. "I'm working on about 60 more," he says. "I usually have 12 or 14 on the go at a time."
He begins with a very rough sketch, then draws in pencil, does the black inking, and finally adds coloured pencil.
He's not trying to duplicate a realistic image, he says. "It's not necessarily an exact likeness, but an interpretation. There's a lot of artistic licence... I'm trying to create a mood."
Sweeney, raised in St. James, earned a fine arts degree at the University of Manitoba and became a building and industrial designer, winning awards in Europe and Japan.
The lifelong bachelor considered becoming an architect and does have architectural training, but realized he didn't have the personality for project management. "I'm an idea person," he says.
In the 1980s and '90s he worked in England, designing furniture, lighting, aircraft interiors and household products. After returning to Winnipeg in the mid-'90s, he did the illustrations for two books, Winnipeg Landmarks, Volumes I and II, with text by historian Murray Peterson.
He still does design consulting, but says he isn't much of a self-promoter and increasingly devotes his time to sketching.
One of his favourite buildings -- included in Portraits of Winnipeg -- is the University of Winnipeg's Centennial Hall, a modernist gem that was hailed internationally when it opened in 1972.
"I'm an avowed modernist... from the Bauhaus on up," he says. "Right now, I'm very concerned about the loss of the airport terminal (the current one from 1964), which is scheduled for demolition. That's one building that should definitely be saved, because it's a jewel box -- a wonderful example of mid-century modern....
"Between the building and the integration of the artwork and original furnishings, it was a complete design concept."
Polo Park, lovingly captured in Sweeney's book in its original 1959 incarnation as a shopping centre without a roof, was another mid-century gem, Sweeney says. It wasn't practical for Winnipeg's climate, but other buildings of the period, he says, should be valued for their cool, elegant, subtly detailed architecture.
"Mid-century modern buildings are not considered historical enough, and yet they are. We're in danger of losing a lot of stuff from the mid-20th century, which we will regret later on."
