Christmas - Page 8
Christmas Present Fantasy Versus Reality
Every year, hours are spent scouring the Internet and local stores for the perfect present that will change somebody's life, be the material representation of true friendship, and bring joy to humanity. Every year, that never happens. Every year, the unwrapping of gifts is an occasion met with dread. Every year, it's gift cards for everyone, and here's why.
Music Happens Everywhere – Carol of the Bells [VIDEO]
You never know when you'll start hearing music!
Merry Christmas From the Scottish Falsetto Sock-Puppet Theatre
If "Scottish Falsetto Sock-Puppet Theater" sounds like a mouthful, that's because it is -- and these mouthy, high-pitched puppets would like to throw some Christmas cheer your way.
Do You Open Gifts Early? [POLL]
I've heard that in some households, its a tradition to let everyone open 1 or more gifts on Christmas Eve instead of waiting until Christmas morning. I tried that a couple of time in my house but I won't this year
John Mayer Designs Custom Christmas Present for Katy Perry
While serial dater John Mayer and serial candy dress wearer Katy Perry haven't even officially confirmed their romance after several months of dating, public outings and photo opps, details of Mayer's customized Christmas present for the pop diva have been unveiled.
Worlds Best Gangnam Style Christmas Light Display [VIDEO]
I saw that Ryan O'Bryan had shared a video of a house in Texas that had their Christmas light display set to Gangnam Style. I thought it was cool... until I saw this one!
America's Favorite Families The Kardashians and the 'Honey Boo Boo Clan' Offer Up Ridiculous Christmas Cards
We're hard pressed to think of a better way to showcase the two main genres of reality television than this side-by-side comparison of the Thompson (of 'Here Comes Honey Boo Boo' fame) and the Kardashian families' Christmas cards.
Science Offers Explanation for Rudolph's Red Nose
Have you ever wondered how Rudolph got his red nose? Well, Dutch scientists have finally explained the mystery. Turns out, the reindeer's shiny nose is the direct result of "hyperemia of the nasal mucosa." Way to take all the magic out of Christmas, science.
Cutest Christmas Puppy Video on the Internet [VIDEO]
Is there anything cuter that Christmas puppies? I think not!
Despicable Me 2 Teaser Trailer – Christmas Version [VIDEO]
Despicable Me 2 is coming 2013, and I can't wait!
10 Easy and Creative Last Minute Christmas Tree Decorations
Christmas is almost upon us, but that doesn't mean you still can't have some fun with your holiday decorations. Maybe you're the kind of person who waits until the last minute to set up your tree, or perhaps you've noticed some bare spots on the limbs just crying out for a few more ornaments. Or maybe you need a last minute activity to keep the kids busy while they wait for the impending arrival of Santa Claus. Nothing is more maddening for a child than the last few days leading up to Christmas, before all of their holiday loot arrives.

We're just over 2 weeks shy of saying "good-bye" to 2010, and I want to end the year with a bang! Everyone has been so wonderful, both newbies and old-timers alike, with starting new discussions and offering support to others...and I want to keep that momentum moving into the new year! The board count is currently 174,339, and I want to push it to 175,000 by 1/1/11! (And since I'm in Hawaii, that buys us some extra time over those of you ahead of me on the other side of the world. :smileytongue:)
We have 18 days and 661 posts to go. I encourage everyone to start new threads, post responses to others and scroll all the way down so you don't miss anything! We may not be able to control every aspect of our fertility, but we CAN DO THIS!
Who's with me??? :smileyvery-happy:

|SilverDragon tracks rares. It will try everything possible to notice them and tell you about them. I, as its author, have precisely one quirk: I like a minimal starting experience. That means that by default SilverDragon doesn't know about any rare mobs, and will just learn about them when you encounter new ones. If you want more advance warning, just go to the "Mobs" section of SilverDragon's options and either enter a few mobs you want to look for, or click "import data" to pull in a...

Another pattern mash up – I used Simplicity 1873 for the bodice, a gathered skirt pattern from Vogue 8723 and a sleeve pattern from 'I cant remember'! I made the matching fabric belt with a belt kit from Sunni at www.afashionablestitch.com
I sewed it up in a vintage reproduction cotton.
More pictures on my blog: www.bobbinandbaste.com :)
Sep 30, 2013, 11.02 AMby sophie11
Looks just lovely. I checked out the pattern as I'm trying to find a pattern with a boat neck fitted bodice and pleated skirt. I'm curious why you didn't use the skirt of the Simplicity pattern?
Oct 1, 2013, 03.00 AMby becprentis
Hi Sophie – from memory I opted to use a gathered skirt instead of the Simplicity skirt because it was a pleated skirt and I wanted a more vintage feel to the dress aesthetic. I redrafted the bodice top a little to make it boat neck too – was easy to do. :)

This handbook takes the reader through the process of finding, processing, seasoning and drying their own unique timber and is aimed at independent woodworkers across a whole range of disciplines.
To this day, most literature on seasoning and drying timber takes into account that the readers are dealing with timber by the kiln-load, but this title is aimed at one-man-bands, who work with small garden timber and writes in an entertaining and accessible.
The book covers: Anatomical structures of wood, identifying timber, sourcing timber, seasoning timber and drying timber.

- Can I replace a circuit breaker with a different brand?
Can I replace a circuit breaker with a different brand?
Don't just call the seller, who will probably just say, yea, it's ok. Go to the manufacturer. I believe Challenger has a web site.
I have a copy of a letter from Jim Farley who is with Cutler-Hammer Technology & Quality Center. I can e-amil a copy to anyone who wishes one. The main point of his letter is "specific Cutler-Hammer residential circuit breakers types can be used to replace Challenger, Westinghouse, and Bryant types in equipment and loadcenters that are marked as being suitable for the use of Challenger, Westinghouse, or Bryant circuit breakers." There is also a table of breakers suitable for this application.
E-mail a request for this letter to me at [email protected]

England's Care.data Fiasco: Open Government Data Done Wrong
BY Wendy M. Grossman | Monday, April 21 2014
Given the power to open up access to public health data in legislation passed in 2012, the governing health authority ordered care.data into being at the end of 2013, and distributed information leaflets in January 2014. Unfortunately, the process has been confused by conflicting promises of protecting personal information and expanding commercial access. The resulting furor, which has seen the program delayed for six months for a rethink, has seriously damaged public trust in how the English National Health Service (NHS) intends to manage the country's medical data. Wendy M. Grossman explains what went wrong. Read More

The Boston City Council is now considering an ordinance which would require Boston city agencies and departments to make government data available online using open standards. Boston City Councilor At Large Michelle Wu, who introduced the legislation Wednesday, officially announced her proposal Monday, the same day Boston Mayor Martin Walsh issued an executive order establishing an open data policy under which all city departments are directed to publish appropriate data sets under established accessibility, API and format standards.

What Does Privacy Have to Do with Open Government?
BY Christopher Wilson | Friday, April 4 2014
The answer to that question might not be obvious. Privacy is something we tend to associate with people and personal information, while open government is presumably about making government data and processes transparent for more accountability (see Open Knowledge Foundation's distinction between Open Data and My Data). But it's a question that's getting asked, as privacy and surveillance are increasingly prominent concerns in a post-Snowden world. It's also an issue that commanded the attention of the open government community at last year's OGP Summit. Since then, though, there's been relatively little discussion or progress made to understand the relationship between privacy and open government. As the open government community convenes regional meetings this spring, it's important to take stock of how open data and data sharing are de-facto drawing boundaries around these norms, and take clear steps towards building privacy into the open government mandate.Read More
Open Data Gives New Lease of Life for Civil Society in the South Caucasus
BY Onnik James Krikorian | Thursday, April 3 2014
Two weeks ago, on March 21, 2014, the Georgian chapter of leading international anti-corruption watchdog Transparency International called on the country's citizens to turn off their mobile phones for one hour to protest government surveillance. The action came in the wake of revelations that the previous authorities were intercepting phone calls, text messages, and internet traffic on a systematic basis. The European Union calls the situation that still exists today under a new government, "a jungle of misuse of the possibilities of technology to record almost everything." Yet, despite concerns regarding the amount of data collected on citizens in the former Soviet republic, large online databases of government information might actually be giving the media and civil society in Georgia a new lease of life in fighting corruption and engaging citizens.

Like everyone else, I think this highlighter is fantastic. It's very similar to Mac's Soft and Gentle, but half the price. It doesn't bronze at all, which I actually like, because I have very pale skin. It adds a shimmery pale gold glow anywhere you apply it, and it stays in place all day.

I also, use this "wet" for eyeshadow on shadow brush I like to spray my makeup setting spray on my brush and then apply this. I wouldn't call this glitter but nice shimmer, on days my foundation looks to matte (which I hate!!!!!) I use this to give me a dewy look. I definetly reccomend this for anyone you'll love it:)

This is such a beautiful highlight - it has such a beautiful golden shimmer to it, and it makes any look complete. It has good staying power and it's priced reasonably! I just hate how hard it is to find, it's almost always out of stock at my walmart. But I guess that says something about this product, doesn't it? haha, all in all it is definitely a must-have. Will repurchase.

This is hands down the best highlighter for me. I only use it to highlight my cheek bones and it is perfect for that giving me a gorgeous soft candlelit glow. I've tried soo many highlighters and so glad I've found this. My second favorite would be TheBalm Lou Manizer. I have a yellow undertone so this highlighter really blends in with my skin. I also think this would work better for people with medium-dark complexions than fair complexion. Other highlighters I've used before I found this are Nars Albatross, Topshop Sunbeam, Bobbi Brown Shimmer Brick, Mac Soft & Gentle. I'm a highlighter junkie and this one if a winner.

I love this as a highlighter. It gives me a beautiful light golden/pearly glow on my NC40 skintone. The powder is finely milled and it doesn't have an obvious glitter look (which I dislike). I use this to highlight my cheekbones and my browbone. I purposely looked for one with very little gold infused throughout it-which I feel looks more natural on my skintone. I have used this for over six months and have not experienced any irritation or breakouts. I've also barely made a dent in this powder-a little goes a long way.

The shortening of the days and the increased crispness in the air invites stories that begin "Once upon a time…" If you love fables, fairy tales, tall tales or trickster tales come to Cubberley Library to check out our latest display of picture books and children's literature. The tales span many cultures and a familiar tale may be retold in many ways. We have Cenderillon: a Caribbean Cinderella and a cyborg Cinderella along with her more traditional sister. The brothers Grimm have Little red cap while the story Lon Po Po is a Red Riding Hood tale from China. Trickster tales also span continents. On our shelves Ananse from Africa and Brer Rabbit from the American south are up to their usual tricks. Some of the tales are humorous: Maynard the Moose is The uglified ducky and that darn bear bursts The mitten every time. Other stories have a more serious bent such as Briar Rose, Jane Yolen's heartbreaking retelling of Sleeping beauty as set against the historical backdrop of the Holocaust. Whatever your preference is--humorous, serious, traditional, retold or twisted--we have it, so come visit.

Report: Soliman fails drug test
Australian boxer Sam Soliman has reportedly failed a drug test taken before his win over former WBA champion Felix Sturm in their IBF middleweight title eliminator last month.
BOXING BABESThese babes can't get enough ringside action.
Federation of German Professional Boxers president Thomas Puetz tells German daily Bild that Soliman's urine sample tested positive for an undisclosed banned substance.
Putz says a ''difficult to detect designer drug with stimulating effects was found'' following the 39-year-old Soliman's unanimous decision win over Sturm in Duesseldorf on Feb. 1.
Soliman can present his case at a hearing. Puetz says he will inform Germany's National Anti-Doping Agency and the IBF.

Singapore Transportation Tips by trisanna
Singapore Transportation: 391 reviews and 430 photos

a lion and his city
The Cheng Ho is a recreated Imperial Chinese ship. It's quite pretty. They have a few daily tours/outings. Breakfast, tea and dinner. They have tours around the Singapore harbor and to nearby islands-such as Kusu island. You will pass a few other islands. A nice experience.
Mode: AROUND
Type: Ship/Boat
lego cable car
To get Sentosa-the best and cheapest way is to take the MRT to Harbourfront station. From there you connect to the new Vivo City shopping mall. On the third floor, one can catch the new Singapore monorail. They sell return tickets for a few bucks. As of now, there are two stops. The last one is for Siloso or Palawan beach. This new monorail is great and makes getting to sentosa much easier. Now i may go back. Can get a bit crowded leaving sentosa at night. There is handicapped access, so it's fine for the disabled or for prams.
Otherwise, from the Harborfront station you can connect to the World Trade Center and take the cable car.
If you drive in or take taxi, you have to pay an admission fee to the island.
Mode: AROUND
Type: Subway/Metro
Website: http://www.sentosa.com.sg/
the MRT arrives
Singapore has a great transportation system. There are three subway lines-that go to most areas and a very intricate bus system. They are building a fourth line (the circle line) -should be ready in a few years.
To buy single tickets, use the machines by the entrance. All tickets have a $1 deposit charge included in the ticket. Once you completed your ride-put the green card in the machine and get the buck back. At some stations, like Orchard you can donate the $1 -by placing the green card in a box.
If you are going to be here for a few days-you can get an ez link card. There is a $15 deposit charge. You can use this on buses and the subway-quite convenient. Can get this from the ticket seller.
You can also use the ez link card to pay for things at movie theaters (cathay cineleisure) and a few other places.
The MRT stops running around 11.30, depending on station. This is a problem if you are flying into Changi at night. The last train out of the airport is 11.30ish. There is a night bus that does cover the subway's route.
Mode: AROUND
Phone: 1800-336 8900
Type: Train
Website: http://www.smrt.com.sg/
Darcy, the duck boat
Many cities have the duck tours and Singapore is no exception-still it's quite interesting and fun. You get a short history of the country-drive around some key sites. You then head to the marina district and drive into the river. Quite fun! You then motor into the harbor and see the skyline and the silly Merlion statue.
From this tour-you get two perspectives of Singapore. From land and the water.
A lot of fun.
These drivable boats are remmants of the Korean and Vietnam wars when the Americans used them to bring supplies onto land.
I looked at their website and it looks like it hasn't been updated in awhile.
There are two locations: suntec city and by the Singapore visitor's center on Orchard Road-across from the Heeren.
Mode: AROUND
Type: Ship/Boat
Website: http://www.ducktours.com.sg/
distorted view from the cable car
This is a nice way to see the skyline. You get a nice view. On Sentosa-they have the Carlsberg Tower-which you pay a lot to see the same view and you are actually higher on this cable car.
There are two types of cable cars. The normal and the glass ones (more expensive). If you really love cable cars-you can have a catered dinner on one.
Cable car starts it's way at Mt Faber (tallest mountain/hill on Singapore) then it glides down to the World Trade Center. Most people get the cable car here-since it connects with the MRT Harbourfront station.
At the Mt. Faber station-they have a nice koi pond and beautiful outlook onto Sentosa. They have a restaurant and wine bar here.
There is a recorded message, you can listen to the history of Singapore. It also points out key attractions.
This is great for kids. Not great in windy weather.

So if you use fluidsynth-dssi (the plugin) instead of Qsynth (a GUI for
fluidsynth) it does work?
The screenshot perhaps does show that you connected Rosegarden -> Qsynth?
What are the MIDI channel settings for Rosegarden's MIDI tracks? Can you
send MIDI notes by a virtual keyboard or a hardware keyboard directly to
Qsynth, instead of using Rosegarden? Does this work?

Rated 3 out of 5 by Slick62 Needs an Overhaul I have stayed at this hotel previously and have to say that this time I was disappointed. We were offered an upgrade for a nominal fee which was accepted. Sadly the offer did not live up to expectations. The room while visually very nice seemed to be always dirty (it was the carpet that needed a good shampooing). A charge was made against my CC on arrival and yet within a day I was being presented with a bill and requesting to clear it ASAP - as they had not taken a large enough charge initially. The bill included items that were not chargeable (Wi-Fi) and mini bar items that were not consumed. Even after informing reception these remained on the bill until Check Out - is it our responsibility to check that the items properly? On a good point the restaurants were for the most part very good. We had dinner on the three nights there and were impressed with the Long Ying, the Seafood Market and Ms Beef Bistro. Breakfasts were ample and enjoyable (we were on a diet prior to our visit). Sadly we were left with a bad taste in our mouths when we had lunch on the last day in the Dubliners - not sure if this is Le Meridien. There are much better pub lunches available elsewhere in Dubai and as such we will be avoiding here on our next visit. April 11, 2012

Rated 1 out of 5 by Adamak Horrible Night Staff Manager I Stayed in this hotel for 3 nights on December 7th. The key to the room did not work the second night and they decided I should go to another room (no one apologized for my inconvenience). On December 20th on my way back to USA, I booked a room at Festive Rate. I arrived at the hotel at 4 am. I told the desk staff that I will be there until 8 pm. The night time hotel Manager said that they have a lot of rooms available, but the check in time is 2:00 pm. I said I understand that, but I am staying only 14 hours and I am a Platinum member. Does loyalty means anything to you? He said he does not care about the loyalty and If I want to stay in lobby for few hours until check in time. He said that I paid the low rate and the only way he will allow me to stay in the room is to pay for two nights. I tried to reason with him for 30 minutes that it is not fair to pay for two nights and stay only 14 hours. But he said I could book my room at a different hotel if I want. I booked at another hotel. I then asked him to cancel my reservation but, he said to do it yourself online. I spend another hour on the phone to get refund for the room at LeMeridian Dubai. I did not want to report all this...But, I just noticed that they did not give credit for my 3 nights stay during Dec 7 - Dec 10. February 26, 2013
Rated 4 out of 5 by Kevintrotter123 Great hotel unscrupulous taxi drivers Hotel was beautiful, clean, nice gym + other facilities, and the staff was friendly in the hotel. Would definitely stay there again. There were a few times when I asked the staff and concierge for advice on things to see and do in Dubai and they struggled with some of my questions. I believe the concierge had a "training" badge however. When I went to the front door, the staff were helpful at waving over a taxi but I think the hotel needs to better screen taxis that they let their guests use or they need some system of accountability for the taxis that they let onto their property. My reasons are as follows: Taxi #1: Did not have adequate change and made me (over)pay in dollars even though I had ample AED on hand. Taxi#2: Did not know how to drive to the correct terminal at DXB, even though terminal was only about 1km from hotel. Cab driver was new, was talking on his mobile trying to get directions from a friend but, even though I explained where he needed to drive, he did not listen and, ultimately, I had to get out and walk. Most taxis I've taken in Dubai have offered an excellent experience but, the only 2 that I picked up at this hotel fell short. I know that the taxis are not employed by the hotel and I know that the hotel also offers an in-house driver but I'd recommend stronger taxi screening procedures. October 30, 2013
Rated 3 out of 5 by pinnacle1 Service Having stayed at this hotel 14 times in the past 6 years, on our last visit 2 weeks ago, we were very disappointed. We nornally have an Art and Tec room, but was told if we book a classic, the hotel would up grade us to an Art and tec room. On arriving at the airport, we were supposed to be collected, unfortunatly the hotel managed to get the wrong arrival date, so we had to telephone the hotel and were eventually collected. On our first night there although we had been given an Art and Tec room, it did not come with any of the benefits. We also found that we had been put next to a main entrance and a room where the occupant thought he would have his meetings outside his room on the patio, so noise and talking would be heard into the night. After three days we asked to move. We were transfered to a Royal club room, but the ones that had not been modernized so very basic and old. Because we had basically been down graded, we thought we would get the Royal club benefits. Wrong. Unfortuatly not told this until breakfast when we ordered and was told rather abruptly, you have to pay for that. This was not a problem, but having paid 1440 aed including tax for a classic room which was more expensive than a royal club with all benefits, I thought this was really unfair. It did not help when talking to other clients that they were paying no where near the rate I had been charged. I suppose thats the benefit of being a regular customer, the hotel take advantage of you. I must admit the service this time was no where near the service we have been given in the past. I actually like the hotel, but their rates and service are not consistant. I have just tried to book for another 6 days as I have business there next week, I sent an email, but so far have had no response. Telephoned the hotel tonight, but gave up after spending 10 minutes on the telephone being transfered from one person to another. I would possibly stay at the hotel again, just hoping the service is inproved. March 15, 2012

A milling engine for cutting trenches in ground or soil provided with at least one vertical support plate on both sides of which milling drums are supported for rotation about an axis perpendicular to said plate. One or more movable fingers are mounted on the lower edge of the plate for oscillating movement aobut the central axis of the plate during the rotation of the drums to remove a web of soil beneath the plate. Oscillation of the fingers is effected through camming surfaces formed on opposing inner ends of the drums which camming surfaces cooperate with a cam disposed at the inner ends of said movable fingers.
1. A milling engine for excavating trenches in the ground comprising:
(a) at least one substantially vertical thick support plate (3) having a lower edge, said plate being aligned along a central plane (10);
(b) a horizontal axis substantially perpendicular to said plate, first and second milling drums (2) mounted on opposite sides of said plate, said drums being rotatable about said horizontal axis (4);
(c) at least one movable finger (13) mounted between said drums on said lower edge of said plate, and driving means on said drums causing oscillation of said finger through said central plane (10) responsive to rotation of said first and second drums.
2. A milling engine according to claim 1, including plural pairs of drums and a plurality of fingers mounted on said lower edge of said thick plate, said driving means being arranged so that successive ones of said fingers oscillate in phase opposition.
3. A milling engine according to claim 1, further including
(a) resilient means (15) disposed within said plate (3)
(b) said movable finger is mounted on the bottom edge of the plate through said resilient means.
4. A milling engine according to claim 1, in which
(a) said first and second milling drums have inner edges facing said support plate,
(b) said driving means include camming surfaces (17) found on said inner edges.
5. A milling engine according to claim 4, in which said camming surfaces are substantially continuous.
The present invention relates to a milling or cutting engine for excavating trenches in the ground, and more particularly such an engine of the type having at least one substantially vertical support plate on each side of which two cutting milling drums are mounted for rotation about an axis substantially perpendicular to the plate.
Machines of this type are already known, which generally have two support plates, holding four milling drums turning inversely in pairs so as to bring the excavated dirt toward an aspirating nozzle situated at the axis of the machine.
As the capacity of such milling engines is increased, it becomes necessary to increase the thickness of the plate, which has to withstand the stresses placed on the milling drums by the ground.
This thickness of the plate creates difficulties in cutting the trench. The cutting tools mounted on the two milling drums beside the plate must be sufficiently apart from one another to accommodate the advance of the plate as the milling drums revolve. The result is the formation of a soil web on the bottom of the trench, the web having a width generally equal at least to that of the plate.
When the milling engine is lowered, the bottom edge of the plate abuts against this web and can therefore stop the progress of the cut.
A variety of solutions to this problem have been proposed. Consideration has been given to mounting the cutting tools situated beside the plate so as to move on the milling drums, so as to bring these tools on the two milling drums against one another when they are in a position clear of the plate. This solution, however, has proven difficult to realize inasmuch as the axes of the articulation of these tools must be able to withstand extremely great stresses.
Circular grooves have also ben created in the plate, centered about the axis of the milling drums, so that the cutting tools mounted fixedly on the milling drums will be separated by a distance less than the thickness of the plate. This solution has proven somewhat satisfactory, however, with the plate thicknesses presently used, it still is true that the web remains sufficiently large to withstand the weight of the milling engine applied through the bottom surface of the edge of the plate.
The present invention purports to provide a different and better solution to the problem set forth above, or possible use in combination with the excavating means already known.
To this effect, the subject matter of the invention is a milling engine for cutting trenches in the ground, of a type having at least one substantially vertical support plate on each side of which two milling drums are mounted for rotation about an axis substantially perpendiculr to the plate, characterized by the fact that at least one movable finger is mounted at the bottom edge of the said plate, driving means being provided to cause the finger to oscillate from side to side of the center plane of the plate while the drums are rotating.
Thus, the fingers according to the invention come in contact with the vertical walls of the web, on which they exercise a lateral component of force which tends to break up this web.
Consequently, independently of the means that might permit reducing the thickness of the soil web, the present invention makes it more easily possible to break up this web and provide for easier penetration of the milling engine.
In order to provide a simple mounting offering good resistance to shock and wear, the fingers may be mounted on the bottom edge of the plate through the use of resilient means.
As a variant, any mechanical means may be used, such as articulations.
In one particular embodiment of the invention, the driving means may include cams placed on the sides of the milling drums situated facing the plate, these cams being in particular substantially continuous and sinusoidal.
Preferably, the milling engine according to the invention has a plurality of fingers mounted on the bottom edge of the support place, the driving means being arranged so that the successive fingers will swing in opposite directions with respect to the central plane of the plate.
Thus, the lateral forces applied by the fingers of the milling engine to the web may have a substantially zero lateral component, which prevents deflections of the engine and therefore assures the verticality of the trench.
One particular embodiment of the invention will now be described by way of non-limiting example, in conjunction with the appended diagrammatic drawings wherein:
FIG. 1 is a side view of the lower part of the milling engine according to the invention, and
FIG. 2 is a view on a larger scale as seen in the direction of the arrow II of FIG. 1.
The milling engine represented in FIG. 1 includes, in a known manner, a frame 1 at the bottom of which are mounted two milling drums 2 on a vertical support plates 3. The axes 4 of rotation of the drums are perpendicular to the plates 3. In the present case, hydraulic motors 5 are mounted on the plates 3 and their output shafts are attached to drums 2 so as to make them turn inversely in the direction of the arrows 6. Thus, the soil loosened by the drums 2 is brought toward the lateral axis 7 of the milling engine where it is aspirated by the aspirating nozzle 8.
As shown in FIG. 2, the milling drums 2 have on their periphery the milling picks 9 which tear the soil apart as the drums rotate. The picks 9a closest to the plate 3 are inclined toward the transverse axis 10 of this plate so as to be as close as possible thereto.
When the drums 2 rotate and the milling engine is lowered, a soil web 11 nevertheless forms at the bottom of the trench 12, and its thickness is at least equal to the thickness of the plate 3, and the bottom edge of the plate 3 may abut against it when the engine is lowered.
In order to break up this soil web 11, fingers 13 are mounted on the semicircular bottom edge 14 of each plate 3. The fingers 13 are oriented substantially perpendicularly to the edge 14 on which they are mounted by means of resilient blocks 15, so as to permit them to oscillate according to the arrow 16 on either side of the central plane of the plate 3.
The inside edges of the drums 2, situated facing the plate 3, are cut according to a continuous sinusoidal profile 17 so as to form two guiding or cam surfaces between which is disposed a head 18 of the finger 13.
Thus, as the drums 2 revolve in the direction indicated by the arrows 6, the fingers 13 oscillate in the direction of the arrow 16, thus destroying the web 11, as represented in FIG. 2.
The surfaces 17 are arranged such that the movements of two fingers 13 disposed consecutively on a surface 14 are performed in opposite phases on either side of the plate 10. Thus, the fingers 13 apply, on the one hand, transverse forces, and on the other hand, torsional forces. These forces produce the breakage of the web 11 such that the latter is unable to stop the progress of the milling of the trench. Moreover, the opposite-phase movements involve no transverse forces on the milling engine, so that the latter is not deflected from the vertical as it advances.
Different variants and modifications may, of course, be given to the above description without thereby departing from the spirit and scope of the invention.
In particular, known means may be employed for the purpose of reducing the thickness of the soil web before it is broken up by the means of the invention.
Likewise, the milling drums, which have been described as driven by hydraulic motors situated in their hubs, may be driven by any other means, such as, for example, by chains connected to motors disposed in the frame.
