Classic Modern Console
Ericka Lynn from Montgomery, IL– Verified Buyer
This item was very well packaged and took me a while to unwrap. The item looks exactly as pictured, however, I found there were a few imperfections. Overall, I do love this piece and fits perfectly in my home. Since this console is "open" it doesn't feel heavy or clunky in my small space. If you are a lover of modern furniture, this piece is a real classic.
Vince from Arlington, VA– Verified Buyer
Bought this to use as a console table behind my couch. It looks fantastic, modern and expensive. Product also came extremely well packed and protected. It came in a special cardboard box shaped like the table and then wrapped in Bubble Cushion around the box and then a black plastic on top of that. Extremely pleased with this purchase and thought the price was very good for what I got.

DMK president M. Karunanidhi on Friday described as "mischievous and deliberately distorted" reports that his party would go soft on the Congress-led UPA government and would offer support from outside instead of seeking to topple it.
Talking to reporters, he recalled that he had already replied to question by saying the DMK would not provide outside support to the government. He said the DMK had decided to quit the alliance and the government because the situation had reached such a pass that his party's continuation would cause a great harm to the Sri Lankan Tamils.
Mr. Karunanidhi said whoever came to power at the Centre should accept the resolutions adopted in the Tamil Eelam Supporters Organisation in Chennai and the DMK executive committee's resolution demanding change of venue of the Commonwealth meeting, which is scheduled to be held in Sri Lanka.
"We quit the Congress-led UPA because it refused to accept our demands," he said.
When told the Union Minister G.K. Vasan also had asked for a change of venue of the Commonwealth meeting, he said the Minister had said it was his personal opinion.
"If his party shared his view, we will fully appreciate it," he said.
Asked about the resolution adopted in the Assembly in support of a referendum among Sri Lankan Tamils for a separate Eelam, he said it was on the lines of resolutions passed at the TESO conference.
"That is why Viduthalai Chiruthaikal Katchi leader Thol Thirumavalavan and Dravidar Kazhagam leader K. Veeramani have welcomed it. To tell the truth, the AIADMK government has adopted the resolution of the TESO conference which it had sought to ban," he said.

Dear brothers and sisters,
I have been searching for a way to express my idea of the greatest of all threats to our world but remained blocked on it for three months until I responded to a post on Bradley Manning and Julian Assange a couple of days ago. I had my start and went from there. The piece is a chilling point of view on totalitarianism, its nature and relevance to modern America and the whole planet. The only counterpoint that will not lead to the death of millions must be centred on light. It has relevance to sustainability because of a central economic motive so I posted it on Sen4Earth. I hope you'll all read it and agree or disagree. Share it with everyone if you agree it is a useful perspective.You'll find it by clicking on 'Spiritual Energy Blog' on this page - http://sen4earth.org/articles/more-you-can-do/hug-spiritual-trees/spiritual-energy/Extrapolate the idea for yourself and turn more and more to the light for comfort and power.Love and Peace to all, and may the New Year bring hope, Hugh

MDE won't take my cc info!
Sooooo I got online this morning to see if I could snag an ADR for 'Ohana 180 days today. Imagine my delight when I found a 5:15 time!
So then I went to put in the cc guarantee info. It keeps telling me that the information I put in is invalid. I'm frustrated because I double, triple, and quadruple checked. I put in all of the info correctly. And I know the cc is OK...I just bought a book on my Kindle last night.
Anyone else have this experience or have any advice for me?
Same here :mad: I finally spoke to someone and they said the system is undergoing "enhancements". I think this is Disney speak for the system is down. They said to keep trying :sad2:
I just got thru online and was able to make a Le Cellier ressie. Hope this goes better tomorrow morning when I try for BOG.
A friend a problem a while back as her card was good but the expiration date was before the trip. She tried another card an it went right through.
My credit card was suddenly "declined" after I had already used it for several other reservations with no problem because it is the one attached to my reservations (and there is NO reason for it to be declined, trust me). I kept trying, then finally pulled out a different credit card and it took it. I still have no idea why the one I had attached to my dining reservations suddenly wouldn't work anymore. :confused:

RE: Henry Sheller
I ran a kinship report in my database and discovered that we are both 4th cousins and 5th cousins. Wow! We are related twice. What fun!
Once through the Shellers and once through the Kuneys (Kooneys). We are 4th cousins on our Sheller line.
I have not looked for your tree on Ancestry. My database is pretty complete for the Shellers. Many, many years ago I shared information with a gentleman whose name I believe was Parks Adams or something like that.

The present invention relates to a stethoscope, more particularly to a two-way stethoscope which permits hearing both direct and amplified sound from the human body through manipulation of a simple switching means at hand. The microphone for the electronic mode is located in the chestpiece, while the earpieces contain the speakers.
1. A two-way stethoscope, for use selectively with direct and amplified transmission of sound comprising:
(i) a hollow generally cylindrical contactor body having an end wall with a plurality of sound pickup holes therein, and having an inner cylindrical wall with a plurality of communication holes therein;
(ii) a hollow cylindrical turn tube having a plurality of communiction holes therein, said turn tube being engaged within said inner cylindrical wall of said contactor body;
(iii) a sound tube having two ends, said tube being connected at one end to said turn tube and communicating with the interior thereof;
(iv) at least one earphone provided at the other end of said sound tube, said earphone being hollow and including an electromagnet and a diaphragm;
(v) a microphone means, for transforming sound entering through said pickup holes into electric signals, arranged in the hollow space of said contactor body;
(vi) an amplifying means connected to said microphone means;
(vii) an electric current source for said amplifying means;
(viii) a conducting lead integral with said sound tube, said lead connecting at one end to said amplifying means and at the other end to said earphone, and
(ix) a switching means for interrupting the current flow between said current source and said amplifying means, said switching means consisting of a first switch contact mounted on said turn tube and a second switch contact mounted on said contactor body, said first and second contacts being positioned so as not to be in contact with each other when the turn tube is in a position of rotation with respect to the contactor body in which the communication holes of the turn tube coincide with the communication holes of the contactor body, said contacts being adapted to contact each other in another position of relative rotation in which the respective communication holes do not coincide.
2. A two-way stethoscope, according to claim 1, wherein said electric current source and said amplifying means are positioned in said contactor body.
3. A two-way stethoscope, according to claim 1, wherein said electric current source and said amplifying means are provided on said sound tube.
The invention relates to a two-way stethoscope which permits hearing either direct or amplified sound from the human body.
As stethoscopes used by physicians in examining patients, there are of late, besides usual well-known tubular ones, amplifying stethoscopes which electrically magnify sound. The latter, however, may not clearly transmit sound from a body in places with much electrical noise, for example, in vicinity of a running high frequency sewing machine. Further, necessity may occur to hear the live unamplified sound by reason of diagnostic techniques. The inconvenience with the conventional stethoscopes is that one must prepare the two types of stethoscopes, a usual tubular one and an amplifying one, and changes them in every necessary case.
The primary object of the invention is to provide a two-way stethoscope which, through simple manipulation of a switch at hand, functions either as a tubular stethoscope or as an amplifying one, and thereby to eliminate the above-mentioned inconvenience.
Another object of the invention is to provide a two-way stethoscope which has a simple construction and is of easy switching operation.
In the accompanying drawings

FIG. 2 is a side elevational view of a section of an embodiment of the contactor;
FIGS. 3 and 4 are cross sections taken along Lines III--III and IV--IV in FIG. 2 respectively;
Fig. 5 is a diagram of transmission routes of sound;
FIG. 6 is a side elevational sectional view showing another embodiment of the invention;
FIG. 7 is a section taken along Line VII--VII of FIG. 6;
FIG. 8 is a similar view taken along Line VIII--VIII of FIG. 6;
FIG. 9 is a view seen in the direction of the arrow A of FIG. 6;
FIG. 10 is a view seen in the direction of the arrow B of the same FIG. 6;
FIG. 11 is a vertical section of the earphone; and
FIG. 12 is a plan view showing another arrangement of the electric source and the amplifier.
In FIG. 1 or FIG. 2, numeral 1 designates the body of a contactor which is connected through a sound tube 2 to an ear tube 3 for either single or both ears (shown in FIG. 1 is a tube for both ears).
The contactor body 1 is of circular cylindrical shape and has a passage 11 which first extends along the axis of the body and, turning to the radial direction, reaches the peripheral wall, a recess 12 coaxial with said passage, and another passage 13 which extends from said recess 12 and ends in the peripheral wall. The passage 11 and the recess 12 are communicated with each other through a passage 14.
A cover 4 is attached over the recess 12 after electronic amplifying means to be described hereinafter are accommodated therein. The cover 4 is provided at its center with sound pickup hole 41 fitting with the passage 11, and is mounted to the contactor body by means of a threaded case, which will be a convenient feature when the electronic devices are inspected.
With the outer periphery of the contactor body 1 coaxially engages a circular turn ring 5, which is provided in the periphery thereof with a hole 51 congruent with each of the end openings of the passages 11 and 13, and said sound tube 2 is connected to said hole 51. S1 and S2 are switch terminals set in the periphery of the turn ring and the body 1, respectively. The switch consisting of these terminals is closed when said hole 51 is adjusted to said passage 13 and thereby energizes the amplifier to be described hereinafter. Numeral 6 designates a rear cap which prevents the rotable ring 5 from falling off.
FIG. 4 shows schematically the generating means of amplified sound which comprises a microphone means 7 provided to face the end opening of the passage 14, a very small-size electric source 8 such, for example, as a mercury cell, a speaker means 9 provided to face the end of the passage 13 and an amplifier 10. In these electronic means, integrated circuits may be employed if further miniaturization is necessary. The principles and means of sound amplification are well known and further description thereof may be omitted. As the electric supply, an exterior power source of greater capacity may be used.
The use of a stethoscope according to the invention is as follows. First, in order to use as a usual tubular stethoscope to hear direct sound, the hole 51 of the turn ring 5 is adjusted to the end opening of the passage 11 as shown in FIG. 2. This state corresponds to the upper route of FIG. 5. Then, if electrically amplified sound is wanted, the hole 51 is adjusted to the end opening of the passage 13, and switch terminals S1 and S2 come in contact with each other as shown in FIG. 4 thereby energizing the amplifying means. This state corresponds to the lower route of FIG. 5. In either case, the marks D (Direct) or A (Amplified) on the turn ring adjusted to the reference mark clearly indicate the state of the stethoscope.
Now another embodiment of the invention shall be described.
Referring to FIG. 6, 101 designates a contactor body which makes generally a hollow circular cylinder, of which one end is closed. In the inner peripheral wall 111 which is formed to be coaxial with, and inside of, the outer peripheral wall are provided communication holes 112 at regular intervals (four holes in this embodiment). In the end surface of the contactor body 101 are provided a plurality of sound pickup holes 113 which communicate with the space defined by the outer and inner walls as clearly shown in FIG. 9.
A switching turn tube 102 is provided inside the inner periphery to engage rotatably therewith. The turn tube 102 is formed to be a generally hollow circular cylinder having a through hole 124. In the periphery 120 thereof are formed communication holes 121 corresponding to said hole 112, and at the stepped portion 122 of lesser diameter is provided an arrow mark 123. Further, in a portion of the periphery 120 is attached a switch terminal S1 which, through contact with another switch terminal S2 provided in the inner periphery 111, energizes the amplifying means to be described hereinafter. A cover 114 is attached to the contactor body after the turn tube 102 is set therein to prevent falling off thereof. On the cover 114 is, as shown in FIG. 10, provided a divided band mark 115 to which the arrow 123 is to point to indicate which mode, direct or amplified, is enabled.
Within the space between the inner and outer peripheries are arranged a small-sized electric source 106 such as a mercury cell, a microphone means 107 for transforming the sound picked up through said pickup holes into electric signals, and an amplifying means 108 for amplifying said electric signals, made as small as possible by employing, for example, an integrated circuit.
On one end of the switching turn tube 102 is fitted a hollow sound tube 103 to communicate with the hollow space thereof. In a portion of the sound tube 103 is buried an electric wire W which transmits the varying electric current sent out from the amplifier 108 to the electromagnet 141 of an earphone 104 provided at the other end of the sound tube 103 (FIG. 11). In FIG. 11, 142 is a diaphragm.
The use of this embodiment is almost the same with that of the previous embodiment. To describe briefly, when direct sound is to be heard, the communication hole 121 formed in the periphery 120 of the switching turn tube 102 is adjusted to the communication hole 112 of the contactor body 1 as shown in FIG. 6, thereby transmitting the sound from the sound pickup hole 113 through the hole 124 and the sound tube 103 to the earphones 104. The inside of the earphones 104 is hollow and includes nothing but a support for the electromagnet 141, which will not hinder the transmission of the sound. In this case the switch terminals S1 and S2 are in positions not to contact each other.
When amplified sound is desired, it suffices to turn the switching tube 102 and adjust the arrow 123 to the "Amplify" mark of the band mark 115. In this case, the communication between the holes 112 and 121 is cut off and conversely the switch terminals S1 and S2 are brought into contact with each other to energize the amplifier circuit, the sound from the sound pickup hole 113 thereby being converted through the microphone means 107 and the amplifier 108 into varying current which in turn is received by the electromagnet 141 actuating diaphragm 142 of the earphone 104 and transformed into amplified sound.
As in a modified embodiment (not shown in the drawings) of the invention, the electric source 106 and the amplifier 108 may be set in the Y tube 105 which has at the end thereof earphones 108. This arrangement will effectuate reduction in size of the contactor body 101.
As apparently seen from the detailed descriptions hereinabove, this invention is practically very effective and useful in that it makes it possible to hear either direct or amplified sound through a slight turn of the switching tube and in that the stethoscope will be very compact due to the employment of a cavity type earphone and a small-sized transmitter.
The invention, as will be clearly understood by those skilled in the art from the detailed description hereinabove, will contribute to improvement of diagnostic techniques by making it possible to hear direct and amplified sound separately through a simple operation of a switching means at hand, and has many effects such, to mention a few, that only a single sound tube is needed which simplifies the external appearance of the stethoscope, that the inconvenience of preparing and carrying another cord can be avoided, and that the construction is generally simple and seldom liable to troubles.

SnatchLatch Trailer Lock Security
SnatchLatch is a security device that prevents theft and lock tampering in numerous applications such as trailer lock security, utility trailer security, shipping container security, horse trailer security, dry van security, and storage container security.
SnatchLatch is a formidable theft and tamper deterrent that will provide lock security for years.
Located in Austin, Texas, SnatchLatch was founded by Jerre Santini. After several break-ins that caused losses in the thousands of dollars, the thieves had to be stopped. The original SnatchLatch Standard has been effective for over seven years. The 10-gauge steel construction provides unprecedented security because it completely protects the container seal or bolt seal, lock, and hasp. Making SnatchLatch use a habit will lower your claims and improve your loss ratio.
Whatever the application, the SnatchLatch will lower your risk by adding a layer of security that safeguards your trailer lock. Because the durable SnatchLatch never wears out and can be reused thousands of times, it is a great investment value.
SnatchLatch units are also available on Amazon.com.

Sorry if this has been mentioned before and already being dealt with, but I'll mention it anyway.
When you start a thread, why does it always say, no matter what you type, 'No similar threads found'? Am I going mad or did this feature use to work a while ago? It's just that it is quite useful to know if you're asking something that has been asked before!
I just spotted it wasnt working after your said. I think I know possibly why but I will have to go through the code when I get a chance to tweak it to work with our newer search engine system.

The Ugg Amely is a classic mini bootie with a fringe collar twist, the Amely is the ultimate boho-chic moccasin. Water resistant suede, soft leather lining and a touch of signature sheepskin in the heel pocket make for one comfortable ankle boot, finished with a functional vamp strap and antique metal buckle.
Ugg was founded in 1978 when Brian Smith landed in Southern California with a bag of sheepskin boots and hope. He fell in love with the sheepskin experience and was convinced the world would one day share this love.
Ugg Amely Stout Suede Women's Shoe
Features include:
Like the leather and the details. Color "stout" is beautiful. Has a thin rubber sole. This moccasin feels great except that it runs small with a shallow toe box. If the 1/2 size up that I just ordered fits, I will wear them without socks, both indoors and on an occasional short trip outside. Pricey, but purchased at a discount.
These boot run a bit narrow/small. If you are going to wear a sock with them wear a thin sock. On the plus side they look great with skinny jeans and great for running around doing a few errands. Just love the buckle detail and subtle fringe.

"Again, Tiny Prints did a great job. I love these cards! Can't wait to use them and be able to send them out to my family & friends. I didn't realize there were different options of colors with the baby elephant and writing. It doesn't matter all that much, but I am not finding out the gender of the baby so I would have probably went with the Violet instead of the Begonia. Thanks Again!!"
"Overall I was very pleased with this card. I read the reviews before I purchased it so I knew to expect the texture verses a flat card; however, even though the paper wasn't completely smooth, I didn't have a hard time writing on it at all. It has the perfect coloring for what I was looking for, and it looks just like the picture available on the webiste. Also, it is the perfect size for a thank you card with just the right amount of space to write."
"I used this little card as an insert with the invitation. I needed to add directions (quite extensive) on one side & the other side was used for where to mail "parent tips" & "baby wishes". Customer service was outstanding on helping me do this! I highly recommend tiny prints!"

After playin in the back yard for a while, he got tuckered out!
This is our Puppy 'Buster', he is our Pitbull, he is 6 months old in this picture. Taken in summer of 2010. He is actually a rescue dog. The mom was pure bread Pitbull and she got loose and ended up breeding with a Labrador. Or so we were told. The owner to the mother of our dog buster was going to do something very horrible to the litter of 9 puppies. My friend rescued the pups when they were just 2 weeks old.
AAAWWW Hi there Buster…I am so glad I can say that!!! Look Bryn….his tail has a life of it's own….no wonder he is always chasing it…Mom
This little one is irresistible. So cute and playful!
Thank You….I kind of think so too……~!!!!!!!!
– Brenda Dahl
He looks so peaceful. Beautiful capture and puppy. :))
Thank You Ginny!
– Brenda Dahl
What a beautiful dog! Great shot! We always had dogs but now in this buildung are not pets allowed :-( …..
Awe, thank You so much for such a nice comment. That is too bad you are not allowed to have pets. It would be very hard for us not to have our pets, they are an extension of our family~!
– Brenda Dahl
Congratulations Brenda!
Hi Ginny,
Thank You soooooooooooooooo Very much for featuring Buster today~! He loves to be noticed and to have attention~! Thank you, Thank You Thank You~!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Review: This place is awesome!!! I go about every other week and always get the BLT. I have tried other things but the BLT is my favorite. The desserts are amazing as well. Very cool atmosphere inside and out and it is in a great part of Old Tustin. If people are weary about trying Vegan food, don't be. This place is excellent. I only wish there was one closer to my work.

An X-ray tube is disclosed having a cathode and rotating anode located within a glass envelope. The rotating anode comprises an annular disc forming the target area. The disc is integrally connected to a stem which in turn is connected to a hollow cylindrical rotor. The interior of the cylindrical rotor extends over the anode support shaft and bearing structure. The anode shaft supports the rotor, stem and anode disc and is integrally connected thereto via a thin-walled, cup-shaped member made of a low heat conductive metal. The interfaced connections with the cup-shaped element are accomplished through minimal contact surfaces to provide a thermal barrier against the heat energy generated in the anode structure, thereby preventing the heat energy from passing through to the shaft and bearing structure.
1. An x-ray tube comprising:
a cathode;
a rotating anode mounted on a stem, said stem being integrally connected to a hollow cylindrical rotor;
a support shaft mounted within the interior of said rotor, said shaft being rotatively supported through ball bearings by a base element, said support shaft being interconnected to said rotor and anode structure by means forming a thermal barrier between the anode structure and the support shaft, wherein said thermal barrier means comprises a separate element made of low thermal conductive metal, said separate element being a cup-shaped member having an upper and lower surface respectively interfaced with the said rotor and said support shaft; and
said support shaft forming the inner races for said ball bearings to enable the shaft to have a substantially constant cross-section throughout its entire length.
2. The combination of claim 1 wherein said upper and lower surfaces are separated by a thin wall.
3. The combination of claim 2 wherein the thickness of said thin wall is 2/100 of an inch.
4. The combination of claim 3 wherein said cup-shaped member is made of 42% nickel steel.
1. Field of the Invention
The present invention relates generally to x-ray tubes and more specifically to x-ray tubes having rotating anodes.
2. Description of the Prior Art
Production of an x-ray beam by electron bombardment of a target dates back to the early 1900's. The early x-ray tube consisted of a gas-filled glass envelope containing a cathode and an anode (target). By imposing a high voltage charge between cathode and anode, a glow discharge took place, causing electron bombardment of the target and production of x-ray energy.
Later improvements consisted of evacuating the atmosphere around the cathode and anode elements, and the use of a hot tungsten filament within the cathode, permitting the focusing of the electron beam. It was then possible to generate an x-ray beam from a more closely controlled bombardment source, thereby yielding greater diagnostic detail.
Finally, a rotating target structure was developed in the early 1940's which permitted a further shrinking of the electron bombardment area, opening up even greater possibilities for improved diagnostic techniques.
Current diagnostic x-ray tubes contain rotating anodes on which targets, which weigh as much as one kilogram, rotate at speeds up to 10,000 rpm. Because of a number of factors, such as thermal expansion and contraction, and high acceleration and deceleration torques, these structures tend to yield short life due to bearing and unbalance problems.
The present invention obviates the above-mentioned shortcomings by providing a rotating anode x-ray tube having excellent anode balance stability and bearing life.
In its broadest aspect, the present invention relates to an x-ray tube having an anode disc mounted on a stem which in turn is connected to a rotor. The entire anode structure is supported by a shaft and bearing structure rotatively mounted on a base. The shaft is interconnected to the anode structure by an element forming a thermal barrier therebetween to prevent heat energy generated in the anode structure from passing through to the shaft and bearing structure.
An advantage of the present invention is that the low bearing temperature created by the structure of the present invention enables a relatively softer steel to be utilized for the bearing structure, thereby enabling it to be lubricated more effectively with a soft metallic powder and to run at a lower noise level.
Another advantage of the present invention is that the thermal barrier structure allows the x-ray tube to maintain a low shaft operating temperature thereby enabling the bearings to retain their physical properties, mechanical stability and soft metal lubricant.
The anode support shaft also forms the inner raceway for the bearings by providing appropriate ball filling slots. The advantage of this structure is that the shaft can be of a relatively large diameter for stability.
The features of the present invention, which are believed to be novel, are set forth with particularity in the appended claims. The present invention, both as to its organization and manner of operation, together with the further advantages thereof, may best be understood by reference to the following description taken in connection with the accompanying drawings.
FIG. 1 is an elevational view of a rotating anode x-ray tube with a portion of the glass enclosure broken away to illustrate the rotating anode structure; and
FIG. 2 is an enlarged sectional view of the anode shaft and bearing structure in accordance with the present invention.
Referring now to the drawings, FIG. 1 shows an x-ray tube generally indicated by arrow 10, having a glass envelope 11 enclosing a cathode 13 and a rotating anode 15. A tungsten filament 17 is positioned adjacent the cathode 13. The anode 15 is in the form of a disc having a target area 19. The anode disc 15 is connected through a stem 21 to a hollow cylindrical rotor 23 rotatively mounted within the lower portion 25 of the glass envelope 11. A stator 27 is fixedly mounted about the exterior of the lower portion 25 of the envelope 11. The stator structure 27 is mounted on a cylindrical support structure 29 utilized for supportingly receiving the glass envelope 11.
Referring now to FIG. 2, the anode disc 15 is fixedly connected to the stem 21 by a nut 31. The lower portion of the stem 21 extends into an aperture 33 formed in the rotor 23 and is integrally connected thereto by any conventional means. The interior of the rotor 23 extends over the bearing and support structure generally indicated by arrow 35. The support structure 35 comprises an elongated base member 37 having an upper cylindrical copper structure 39 for supportingly receiving a pair of outer bearing races 41 of bearings 43. The inner races 45 are created by grooves formed on an anode support shaft 47. A plurality of roller ball bearings 49 are then located within the bearing races 41 and 45. A steel cylinder 48 extends about the cylindrical structure 39 to enhance the motor torque characteristics. The upper end of the anode support shaft 47 includes an annular member 49' forming a shoulder for supporting a cup-shaped member 50. The bottom portion of the cup-shaped member 50 includes an aperture 51 for receiving the threaded end of the support shaft 47. A nut 53 is utilized to threadedly connect the cup-shaped member 50 to the support shaft 47. The cup-shaped member 50 further includes a thin cylindrical wall 55 extending upwardly and terminating in a disc-shaped support structure 57. The support structure 57 is integrally connected via a 42% nickle steel washer 58 to the interior upper end of the rotor 23. As can be seen, the cup-shaped member 50 forms the interconnection and support between the rotating anode structure and the shaft 47.
Appropriate electrical connectors are provided to permit tube and motor energization.
In operation, the stator 27 is activated electrically causing the anode 15 (and target) to rotate. The tungsten filament 17 is lit to an electron emissive temperature, and a high voltage is impressed between the anode 15 and cathode 17. This causes an electron beam to traverse the anode-cathode space, striking the rotating target 19 and generating x-ray energy.
In a typical rotating anode x-ray tube, the target temperatures generated may be as high as 1300�C. Approximately 80% of the heat dissipated from the target is radiated, and the remaining 20% convects through the stem 21 and into the anode structure. A large portion of the heat energy travels from the anode structure down through the support shaft 47 thereby heating the shaft 47 and the bearings 43.
However, in accordance with the present invention, the cup-shaped member 50 is located between the rotor 23 and the support shaft 47 to form a thermal barrier to prevent heat energy from reaching the shaft 47 and bearings 41. The first thermal barrier is formed at the junction of the interior upper end of the rotor 23 and the disc-shaped support structure 57. The thin wall 55 of the cup-shaped member 50 also provides a minimal path for the heat energy passing therethrough. The thickness of the wall is preferably 2/100 of an inch. A second thermal barrier is provided between the junction of the lower portion of the cup-shaped member 50 and the annular member 49. Moreover, the cup-shaped member 50 is made of a metal having a low heat conductivity such as 42% nickel steel.
As can be seen with such a structure, because of the minimal contact surface at the junctions, the thin tubular dimensions of the wall 55 and the use of a low heat conductive steel, most of the heat energy is conducted through the rotor 23 with only a minute portion of the heat energy passing through the cup-shaped member 50 onto the bearing structure 41. As a result, bearing temperature is held to a low level consistent with good bearing and lubrication life.
It should also be noted that the shaft 47 forms the inner races 45 of the bearing structure 41 thereby eliminating the need for an inner race. As a result, the bearing shaft 47 can be made of a relatively larger diameter thereby increasing its stability.
It should be noted that various modifications can be made to the assembly while still remaining within the purview of the following claims.

what age to test for ADHD?
Find a Conversation
|Tue, 08-26-2003 - 12:10pm
Well, 2nd dd just started kindergarten and already she is driving her teacher crazy. Poor teacher. I had a feeling this might happen, except this dd is much more distractable and while calmer in ways, she is much harder to keep focused and stay on track. Her teacher keeps telling me how poorly behaved she is and it breaks my heart. I want her to do well in school.
I know most pediatricians recommend waiting until 7 or so to test for ADHD, but since her older sister has it (And does great with meds) would it be worth seeing if we could have my younger dd evaluated too? I don't want to make her wait; I'm not a doctor but I know what I see, as a parent. And the teacher is frustrated, too.
We really tried changing the behavior, working with my older dd, limiting sugar and everything else, but honestly, nothing worked except Concerta. She went from being a TAG student who was a constant behavioral problem due to activity level to being much more calm, focused and still happy and a more controlled bouncy kid, lol. 2nd dd is just like a hurricane at this point--academics so far are super easy but behavior is horrid.
Any thoughts would be appreciated!!!!

I was told they can't test til age 7 but my oldest son was d/g at age 6 so I really guess it depends on the doctors....
Makes our lives harder when we can't help our children until a doctor tells us they are ad/hd
hope things get better for you

When my youngest started K last year, I thought he would just breeze through everything. But we started with little problems just about every day, it seemed. And I didn't feel like he was learning everything that he should be. When his teacher suggested ADD, I went ahead and had him evaluated. I did not want a repeat of what happened with my oldest who ended up repeating 1st.
Sure enough, he was ADHD, too. But my ped didn't really want to start him on meds until he was 6, and I wasn't in a big hurry, either. The problems peaked around March, or so, and then APril and May were great months.
He is in 1st grade now, and we are stil waiting on the meds. My 2nd grader is taking Concerta and it is SO much better than nothing.
|Tue, 08-26-2003 - 11:09pm
|Wed, 08-27-2003 - 2:02pm
By then, too, the K teacher would know her well enough to do a questionaire, too. I don't really LIKE letting the teachers know that we're doing this, but my older dd's 1st grade teacher was great about it and never called back to bug us about "whatcha gonna do" about meds. It has never come up. The ped's office really likes to know what's going on, so I understand why they want the teacher's input.
She is definitely hyper and her teacher described her as zoning out--but I also know that once she gets more used to an environment and it isn't this constant stimulus situation of new experience over load, she may calm down.
I guess this time, I don't want to sound like I'm gunning for meds, but my gosh they have helped my eldest dd so much--we could see a difference almost immediately. And I know we are lucky that Concerta was a good fit right from the start, too.
Oh, and I think someone had asked if very bright/gifted kids are more likely at risk for ADHD--I think so, personally--my oldest dd is, and since she whips through the work so quick and is so creative, she has lots more time to get into trouble. ;) Fortunately, she has a great 2nd grade teacher (same as she had for 1st) and she finds her friskiness charming rather than annoying (thank heavens).
Thanks again!!!

This is a documentary about what went into making the films, "The Last Picture Show" and its sequel, "Texasville". There are comments from the townspeople, some of whom seem like direct inspirations for the characters in "The Last Picture Show". Peter Bogdanovich and the actors who appeared in the films talk about their participation in the films, and how the experiences affected their lives. There are some things revealed here, esp. from Timothy Bottoms, that are surprising as well as poignant. It's on video, and well worth the time.
*** This review may contain spoilers ***
In the early 70s, director Peter Bogdanovich, 31, assembled his cast
and crew in the crossroads town of Archer City, Texas, to shoot "The
Last Picture Show," based on Larry McMurtry's best-selling novel. The
movie did as well as the book, garnering several Academy Awards.
Here, it's 1990, and much of the same cast and crew are back in Archer City, Texas, to shoot a movie based on Larry McMurtry's follow-up novel, "Texasville". It's a sequel to a sequel.
Hickenlooper's documentary is sort of a one-hour "The Making Of" but with the blood stains still showing. It's surprisingly candid and there are some unexpectedly intimate revelations. Anyone interested in films knows that Bogdanovich and his star, Cybil Shepherd, began an affair that last eight or nine years and ended the director's marriage. But both Ellen Burstyn and Cloris Leachman were undergoing divorces at the time. Timothy Bottoms "fell in love" with Shepherd -- which must have been powerful easy to do -- but she rejected him for the director and now he and Shepherd hardly speak.
Rather, Bottoms appears to avoid her but she jokes with him and seems friendly enough, and when being interviewed Shepherd appears thoughtful but the kind of person who can shrug off troubles like that. She doesn't give a damn, while everybody else except Jeff Bridges seems to be at least a little wounded. Bottoms is especially melancholy.
Frequently, the interviews and excerpts from the original film are intercut with snatches of the lives and conversations of the residents of Archer City, Texas, McMurtry's home town. How could McMurty have grown up to be a successful novelist in such a benighted place?, someone asks. The answer is simple. There was nothing else to do. Cut to a shot of a guy shooting pool, then to a guy with a cigarette and a beer and a cowboy hat who sits next to his TV. I would hope that the younger folk, when not playing football, would be watching the sexiest baton twirlers in high school. We get a glimpse of one.
Of course, no one is responsible for the culture they're born into, and we can't really know what Archer City is like, just from a few selected interviews and shots of the good folk going about their business. But Hickenlooper doesn't give us much of a favorable impression. The residents we meet are not, let's say, sophisticates. McMurtry's Mom, though flattered by the camera and pleased with her son's success, didn't like his books because they had too many dirty words. Another guy rants about how these big city movie stars come here and block off all the traffic and they're all snobs and you can't get near them and he and his friends are consumed by an incandescent hatred of all these outsiders. The opening shot of the movie has a smiling guy in a Stetson tell us how perfect life is in Archer City and he believes Texas should secede from the union. If he's kidding, it's not immediately apparent. Another townsman says pleasantly, "We don't want to hurt nobody -- not seriously."
The main impression I was left with had nothing to do with "The Last Picture Show" or "Texasville." It had to do with mechanisms of social control. It's as if the vernacular culture of Archer City were wearing one of those old-fashioned corsets that had been pulled too tightly. Everyone seems to know everyone else, and the bounds of "normality" are strictly defined. Does Archer City need a policeman? It's the kind of place in which, if a homicide takes place, the sheriff is likely to ask, "Did he NEED killin'?", to use a real example. Probably sometimes things get out of hand and a cop comes in handy to hold things together in case someone goes berserk. But, on the whole, the police aren't really necessary. Gossip is the most effective means of controlling behavior.

Amerian Executive Hotel MendozaLatest booking: 8 hours ago There is 1 person looking at these apartments.
The place was clean with a cool view from the roof and laundry facilities to boot. I was with my fiancee, so everything was sweet to me.
The energy saving policies required that lights in the hall were almost always off until motion was detected... which only took place in one area of the hall. This wasn't cool in the hall and dangerous in the stairwell. But the time with my baby was priceless!
Excellent place
A little bit too far away from San Martin - we are walkers not taxi- or bus passengers
Regency Park Apartments are in one of the nicest area in Mendoza and right across the street from the biggest park in the city. The apartment was spacious with good air conditioning.
The shower stall leaked around the base and even though we reported this to the apartment agent nothing was ever done to correct the problem. There was no cleaning or servicing of the apartment for the fifteen days we were there.

You could change the setup to add the clip art parts. Then update distribution points and deploy i don't know how you do a required re install.
this is my first post and it may seem a bit simple to some but I have just about managed to get my head around SCCM recently so I'm a little fried.
After having a base image setup for Windows 7, Office 2010 and all of our curriculum software I managed to role it out to our new systems without a hitch. There were a few teething problems with the initial GPO setup but in the end I got there. This was my first time working properly with them and I was left unsupervised.
Anyway, after a week or so I began to receive complaints from staff that they could no longer put clip art into their office documents. Upon looking Office 2010 was installed without any of the tools etc.
No I was told that SCCM would make my life easier around the school. The management of 150+ systems was a little time consuming but SCCM has created some slack on my work load.
I was wondering if any bright people out there could offer up a solution to install just the clip organizer parts of Office 2010 (maybe tools etc too) without having to venture to each individual machine and run the changes from the disc.
It will be greatly appreciated and hopefully one day I will be able to offer some words of wisdom to others.

Unfortunately Office was not installed through SCCM, it was installed on a virtual machine from which the image was captured.
The msi identifier is the same. Add the application to sccm follow ms instructions.
You also new to add a registry entry to the criteria when sccm client detects the application which are created when the clip art is present.
