CHICAGO – Chris Rock isn't a huge writer/director, but when he does make a film, it's an event to consider. For example, he made black president tale "Head of State" long before then-senator Barack Obama was even considered for the real-life role, and whether behind the stand-up mic or in an interview, he's a voice to be reckoned with.
Napoleon Dynamite
Jane Rolls Over Again for Wretched 'Austenland'Submitted by PatrickMcD on August 23, 2013 - 4:41pm
Rating: 1.5/5.0
CHICAGO – One of the most incorrect assumptions in literature iconography is the focus on Jane Austen as a purely romantic writer – skipping the depth of character, humor and cynicism in her work, for the sake of mooning over "Mr. Darcy." The new film "Austenland" continues this trend.
'Napoleon Dynamite' Creator Jared Hess Scores With 'Gentlemen Broncos'Submitted by PatrickMcD on November 13, 2009 - 9:29am
Rating: 4.0/5.0
CHICAGO – Writer/Director Jared Hess' universe, where obscure pop culture references and strange survivors abide, gets another workout with the spontaneously funny "Gentlemen Broncos," which also features Mike White and Jennifer Coolidge.

Prague old town
... out in the communist era suburbs, we emerged into another planet, a wonderland of fairy tale buildings, cobbles, town squares and winding alleys. Paying to go up the town hall tower at Old Town Square was worth it and we had a cracking day to enjoy the view. In hindsight the order of events was perfect: Wenceslas square, old town and square, cruise on the river, Charles ...
Day 47 (Krakow - Prague)
... centre. We had dinner at the hostel before heading out to see what the Prague nightlife is like. We went to 3 bars before going to a 5 story nightclub, every floor has a different theme and different music. None of the places we went were really my thing, too noisy and smoking inside is allowed here which didn't help my cough. We stayed for a bit and were home in bed by ...

I imagine this is because many people use prepaid phone plans here and would rather use the ...

Double Tap (Paul Madriani Series #8)

A $200 tip to a valet parker from a beautiful young woman driving a red Ferrari? That's sure to catch your attention. Then the young woman buys an expensive piece of art glass, so dear that the shop owner 'wonders whether his calculator possessed enough digits to cipher the sale and its consequent tax.' Intriguing, what? But wait, don't become too interested in this gal because by page 21 she's quite dead with two holes in her head, a double tap, the mark of an accomplished assassin. The eighth tale in Martini's popular series starring attorney Paul Madriani finds our protagonist a bit more introspective, more determined and faced with the daunting task of defending career soldier Emiliano Ruiz who is accused of killing the woman, Madelyn Chapman, CEO of a major software firm, Isotenics, Inc. The evidence against Ruiz seems indisputable - he was on a security force protecting her, a video tape plainly shows that they had an affair, and he has the skills to deliver a double tap, two bullet wounds maybe an inch apart. With the help of his garrulous pal, Harry, Madriani begins the investigation only to discover that Isotenics and the government were partners in an antiterrorist program that involved computer software able to spy on virtually everyone. To further complicate matters, Ruiz has a seven year gap in his resume, and he's not talking about it. It's a bit of a stretch to believe that much of Madriani's passion in defending Ruiz is because this soldier reminds him of his beloved Uncle Evo, a shell shocked veteran. And, the conclusion when the real killer is revealed does seem a bit contrived for this reader. However, fans of courtroom procedure will have a field day as Martini recounts the trial. Templeton a dwarf attorney with more tricks up his short sleeve than Houdini is a masterful characterization. Hopefully, we'll meet him on the big screen some day along with General Satz 'who had a long list of get-even announcements waiting to be printed.' An attorney as well as a writer, Martini, offers many insights into the ways and means employed by legal eagles when they go toe to toe in a courtroom. Enjoy! - Gail CookeWas this review helpful?

Matthew Densley
I was born on the 23rd of April 1985 in Bristol. My upbringing and childhood was extremely average. I wasn't the smartest kid or the dumbest, I wasn't the most popular nor the least. I didn't stand out in any way, for any reason. Be it academic subjects, sports, creativity, interests, home life, etc, everything was average.
I have never truly known what I want to do with my life. This idea of not being able to figure out what I wanted and needed to make me happy has infected most of my life and has left me deeply unsatisfied and difficult to please. It is a problem I have written about in numerous poems including, 'At Rest in the Snow', 'Fear' and 'Walking Backwards' which all in ... more »

Matthew Densley Poems
I fear the struggle I fear the strife A fear of death A fear of life
Giving A Shit
Yes it's true that I've stopped giving a shit No more can I let myself care about it I gave a shit until an hour ago Why I stopped, I do not know
Blue Eyes
I have sunk and fallen deep in to a pair of blue eyes Blue just like the ocean I was sailing when I capsized Floating on my back staring up at the dazzling blue skies Though the mouth may speak wrong words those blue orbs cannot tell lies
At Rest In The Snow
I punish myself, for what, I don't know My body lies quivering at rest in the snow But I don't feel the cold, It's strange but it's true There's a deeper pain present that is making me blue
I have never had a dream come true The dreams I once had I soon had outgrew I can't seem to see my dreams anymore Or maybe they're not as vivid as before
The Doll's House
My world is as a doll's house And I am looking in I see my friends and family there But I am looking in
A Lesson In Love
I learned of love the hardest way The experience I take I wouldn't have risked it if i knew That on me you would flake
A Beat For The Beaten
This castle of stone This kingdom I own Inside I'm alone
Are You All Alone Tonight?
Are you all alone tonight So alone that you could weep Do you hug your pillows tight Will you cry yourself to sleep
Forever I Will Wait
Forever I will wait Until the end of time I feel it is my fate One day you will be mine
I seach the tunnels underground So all the lost can now be found Their scents I sense just like a hound My ears can hear the smallest sound
The Phoenix
Life seems so easy through the eyes of a child For joy seems so great and pain seems so mild But when the years unfold the world seems so wild This is when you know what it means to cry
A Love So Untrue
I never had a passionate love so untrue I never had a temper until I met you It cannot be right for you to make me feel blue Is it karma's repayment that's long overdue?
Questions Of A Lost Soul
Is it the world that is spinning around? Or is it just my head? Am I a King who's to be crowned? The reason I was bred?

I fear for you
I fear for me
I fear of what
Will come to be
There's plenty to fear
Than fear itself
I fear the pain
and fear poor health
I fear my well
Is running dry
I fear so much
I'm forced to cry
I fear disaster
I fear the knife
I fear the blade
That is my life
I fear the man
I came to be
I fear the dark
And fail to see
I fear life's left me
On the shelf
I fear so much
It harms my health
I fear the help ...

Warm and soft. Sweet and chewy. Nutty and cocoa filled. A Nutella Crepe on the streets of Paris. So simple it was. Yet this delightful street food was my only salvation on a cool, dark, eerie night in the city of the Eiffel Tower, Notre Dame and the Mona Lisa. I'd been walking for hours when I stumbled upon a tiny Crepe shop in Bastille. Thus far my day had been spent wandering the streets of Lyon, not Paris, eating braised Cochon, Terrines of duck liver and sweetbreads, chocolate filled croissants, and charcuterie. Then, somehow, instead of taking the train back to Roanne where I am currently staging at La Maison Troisgros, I was headed straight to Paris. Uh oh! A new journey had begun.
Since deciding to come to work in a kitchen in France I had dreamed of eating in classic Bistros. Whether it was the pages of "My Life in France" the story of Julia Child, or my imagination of what truly started the culinary world as we know it…I wanted classic French cuisine. I wanted it bad. Bistro food was the apple in my eye and the reason I had traveled to Lyon on my day off.
Walking the cobble stone streets of old Lyon, Bistro after Bistro served up classic fare of pate, salade Lyonnaise, homemade sausages, stew of pig's cheeks, pike dumplings, roasted tripe with onion and garlic, pigs foot, cheeses, and don't forget the beautiful sweet treats like the profiteroles!

DRIVE APPARATUS FOR A CARRIAGE MOVABLE UPON A GUIDE Filed Dec. 5, 1964 3 Sheets-Sheet 5 INVENTOR$ WER/VE? y rim 8 Z LQ U3 Him/MW ATTORNEY United States Patent 3,273,408 DRIVE APPARATUS FOR A CARRIAGE MOVABLE UPON A GUIDE Ernst Nagel, Weisslingen, and Werner Steinmetz, Kempten, Zurich, Switzerland, assignors to Pneumafil Corporation, Charlotte, N.C.
Filed Dec. 3, 1964, Ser. No. 415,591 Claims priority, application Switzerland, Dec. 6, 1963, 14,981/ 63 13 Claims. (Cl. 74-22) The present invention relates to an improved drive apparatus for a carriage or wagon which is movable back and forth upon a guide.
A wide variety of devices have become known which are housed upon a carriage which is movable upon guides and which can be displaced together with such carriage back and forth between the ends of the guides, the latter constructed as rails for example. Thus, for example with textile machines, such as for instance winding machines, spinning and twisting machines, so-called travelling blowers have already come into use for longer times which carry a ventilator mounted to a carriage which blows away dust and fibers from the machine components or parts. Moreover, drive mechanisms have already become known which, for example, incorporate an endless cable which trains around turning or deflecting rollers applied to the ends of a guide. One of the rollers is driven and the carriage is coupled in suitable manner with the cable in order to generate the to and fro movement. In so doing, in most cases the cable is employed as a pulling member.
However, also for the displacement of loads, in particular for the raising and lowering of the same, drive mechanisms for carriages displaceable upon guides have become known which work with gear chains. In a known drive apparatus of this type, the gear chain is closed and not only wraps around the sprocket wheels at the ends of the guides, rather by means of suitable deflecting wheels also trains around two sprocket wheels of different diameter rotatably mounted at the carriage, these sprocket wheels being rigidly connected for rotation with one another. In so doing, a respective run of the chain engages with one of the wheels, so that when the chain is placed into revolving motion the carriage is displaced due to rolling of both dilferent size sprocket wheels at the chain runs moving with the same speed. By changing the direction of rotation of the chain it is possible to change the direction of movement of the carriage.
Accordingly, the present invention, starting from an apparatus of the last-mentioned type, is directed to the provision of an improved drive apparatus in which, in addition to the movement of the carriage, at the same time there is available another movement which can be effectively utilized.
A further important object of the present invention is directed to the provision of an improved drive apparatus for the movement of a carriage back and forth in a highly reliable and etfective manner, the construction of this drive apparatus being relatively simple and economical.
Generally speaking, the inventive drive apparatus is characterized by the features that a pulley wheel of the carriage is in driving relation with a working or operable member rotatably mounted at the carriage in order to utilize the rotation resulting from the rolling movement, and that reversing or switching means are provided in order to reverse the direction of movement of the carriage with the direction of rotation of the pulley wheel and the operable member remaining the same. The switching means cooperate with one of the step pulleys and the endless member in order to cause such endless member to change the wrapped around pulley step.
An apparatus of the mentioned type has the advantage that the carriage as well as the operable member mounted to such carriage are driven by means of a single stationarily mounted motor. Consequently, there are avoided the troublesome electrical connections necessary for the electric motor of an operable member and heretofore mounted to the carriage. In addition thereto, there is, of course, also rendered simpler installation upon the carriage due to avoiding the use of an additional drive motor. Thus, there can also be used guides which are of lighter construction.
However, a considerable advantage resides in the fact that, the inventive drive apparatus guarantees the preservation of a single direction or rotation of the operable member in spite of changes in the direction of movement of the carriage at its points of turning or reversing. Consequently, it is possible to employ operable members where the direction of rotation must be maintained constant, and, in this manner, to operate or, however, to increase the efficiency of the operable member, for example a ventilator, by designing such for a single direction of rotation.
Other features, objects and advantages of the invention will become apparent by reference to the following detailed description and drawings in which:
FIGURE 1 is a perspective view of a first embodiment of the invention with belt strands of differently effective rotational speeds and with a purely mechanical reversing or switching mechanism for changing the direction of movement of the travelling blower;

FIGURE 4 illustrates details of the automatic reversal mechanism during the movement of the travelling blower to the right;
FIGURE 5 is a cross-sectional view of the apparatus of FIGURE 3, taken along the line VV thereof;
FIGURE 6 illustrates a further embodiment of drive mechanism with belt strands of the same peripheral speed and shown in elevation;
FIGURE 7 is a plan view of the embodiment depicted in FIGURE 6; and
FIGURE 8 is a cross-sectional view of the embodiment of FIGURE 6, taken along the line VIII-VIII thereof.
Describing now the drawings, more particularly, with attention directed to the embodiment of FIGURE 1, it will be seen that reference numeral 1 designates a guide- Way or track upon which is displace-able a carriage or wagon 2 provided with rollers or runners 3. A ventilator is provided at the carriage 2 which is schematically illustrated by means of its impeller 4. The shaft 5 which is to be driven and carrying the impeller 4, is in driving connection with a belt pulley 6 which is rotatably mounted at the carriage 2 together with the shaft 5 and the ventilator 4.
Belt pulleys 7 and 8, 9 are arranged .at both ends of the guideway 1 and possess shafts 7 and 8, respectively, which extend substantially parallel to the shaft 5 of the belt pulley 6, with all such shafts of these belt pulleys advantageously disposed in a common plane. The belt pulley 7, by way of example, is directly mounted upon a shaft 10 of an electric drive motor 11 which is connected to a non-illustrated machine frame supporting the guideway 1. Moreover, the belt pulley 7, in this embodiment, comprises three pulley components or members 7a, 7b and 70 which are rigidly connected for rotation with one another. It will also be understood that the belt pulley member 7a possesses the diameter D the belt pulley mme'ber 7b the diameter D =D K, and the belt pulley member 70 the diameter D =D +K, whereby K in both cases has the same value. As a result, D =D +D /2.
The turning or deflecting belt pulleys 8 and 9 arranged at the opposite end of the guideway 1 have the same diameter. They are loosely rotatably mounted independently of one another upon a common shaft 12. The shaft 12, in turn, is rigidly connected to the machine frame. An endless drive or power transmission belt, generally designated by reference numeral 13, travels over the belt pulley means 6, 7, 8 and 9. This drive belt 13 is advantageously divided into a number of driving and driven strands or runs. Assuming that the drive shaft 10 rotates in clockwise direction during operation of the electric drive motor 11, it should be appreciated that a driving strand or run 14 extends from the belt pulley means 6 over the deflecting or turning pulley 8 to the pulley member 7a of the belt step pulley 7. A driven strand or run 15 extends from the belt pulley member 7a to the belt pulley 6, and from this location there subsequently extends a driving strand or run 16 to the belt pulley members 7b. From this belt pulley member 7b there extends a driven strand or run 17 which trains about the deflecting belt pulley 9 and finally again connects with the driving strand or run 14 at the belt pulley 6.
Belt guide means incorporating a double-arm lever arrangement 19 is pivotably mounted upon a shaft or pin 18 in the neighborhood of the right end of the guideway 1 of FIGURE 1. This double-arm lever arrangement 19 carries at one of its arms 19a two rollers 20 which straddle the driving belt 13. Moreover, the double-arm lever arrangement 19 carries at a further arm 19b an impact or stop member 21 destined to cooperate with the carriage 2, this arm 19b being also articulated with a rod 22 displaceable in a sleeve or bushing 23 substantially parallel to the guideway 1. At the end 22a of the rod 22 which is remote from the double-arm lever arrangement 19 and neighboring the left end of the guideway 1, there is provided an impact or stop member 24. This stop member 24 is likewise situated in the path of travel of the carriage 2 and when the latter reaches the corresponding terminal position such stop member cooperates therewith.
During operation of the described drive apparatus the belt 13 is caused to rotate by means of the belt step pulley 7, whereby the driving belt strands or runs 14 and 16 exhibit a dilferent rotational speed corresponding to the difference K=D D The rotational speed of the belt strand 14, which only experiences a turning effect via the belt pulley 8, is thus larger than that of the belt strand l6. Analogously, the rotational speed of the driven belt strand 15 is larger than that of the likewise driven belt strand 17 turned via the belt pulley 9. Consequently, the .belt pulley 6 rolls upon the driving belt strand 16 and the driven belt strand 17 since these possess a lower rotational speed than the belt strands 14 and 15. As a result, there is brought about a rotation in clockwise direction of the shaft which is to be driven as well as a displacement of the carriage 2 in a direction toward the left end of the guideway 1.
Now, when the carriage 2 abuts against the stop member 24 the rod 22 is displaced to the left, so that the double-arm lever arrangement 19 is rocked in clockwise direction. In so doing, the straddling guide rollers 20 press the elastic belt 13, for example formed of nylon, downward and displace such from the belt pulley portion or member 7b onto the belt pulley portion or member 70 of the step pulley unit 7. Consequently, the rotational speed of the belt strands 16 and 17 will now be greater than that of the belt strands 14 and 15, since the diameter of the belt pulley portion 70 is greater than the diameter of the pulley portion 7a by the value of K. Now, the carriage 2 is driven with the same speed in the opposite direction, in spite of the fact thatwith negligible increase of the rotational speed-the direction of travel of the belt 13 and the direction of rotation of the belt pulley 6 remains the same. Such results in the belt pulley 6 rolling upon the belt strands 14 and 15. If the carriage 2 abuts against the stop member 21 then the belt 13 is again displaced onto the belt pulley portion 7b due to pivoting of the double-arm lever 19 in counterclockwise direction. This again effects a change in the direction of travel of the carriage 2, not however any change in the direction of rotation of the shaft 5 driving the ventilator impeller 4. By virtue of the foregoing, thus, it is possible to advantageously design the impeller 4 for operation in a single direction of rotation and, therefore, it possesses more favorable operating characteristics.
It is to be observed that the belt pulleys and reversing means are also only schematically depicted in the hereinafter described embodiments and do not, of necessity, correspond to a practical embodiment. Additionally, reversal or switch-over can also take place electromagnetically, or hydraulically, instead of mechanically, by employing appropriate end or terminal switches, and the rod 22 is also capable of replacement by a cable or chain. Furthermore, the pulley means 7 disclosed herein can also be designed as an infinitely variable or stepless pulley. Hence the term step pulley as employed herein is used in a broader sense to include any multiple diameter pulley construction, and therefore, also embraces the aforementioned possibility of an infinitely variable pulley, a pulley construction whose diameter can be varied, and the de picted stepped pulley of the embodiment of FIGURE 1 for instance, having different pulley portions of different diameters. Accordingly, this term step pulley is not to be considered as limited only to the herein pre -viously depicted stepped pulley construction.
Additionally, it should be appreciated that it is possible to achieve a constant belt length and shaft rotational speed by constructing the belt pulley 7 with the diameter D =D =D +K. Such, however, requires an additional switching or displacement of the belt strand 15 upon the pulley portion 7b, thereby further requiring an appropriate construction of the switching or reversing mechanism 18-20.
It will also be understood that the speed of travel of the carriage 2 is only dependent upon the difference in the speeds of the belt strands, whereas the rotational speed of the impeller 4 is dependent upon the diameter (D of the belt pulley 6. Both values can be freely selected within certain practical limits and can be accommodated to the conditions which are encountered.
A typical example, given by way of illustration and not limitation, possesses the following data:
D 121 millimetersRotational speed of impeller:
n=3400 rpm.
D =106 millimetersSpeed of carriage:
u=18 meters/min.
K=4 millimetersLength of guideway: 18 meters.
In FIGURE 2, wherein the same reference numerals are again generally employed for substantially the same or analogous elements, there is dipicted a further possibility for controlling switching-over of the driving belt 13 by means of the carriage 2. It will be seen that at the ends of the guideway 1 there is mounted a respective ter minal or end switch 31 which, in known manner, are suitably operably coupled together by current leads or conductors 32 in a switching box 33 and which are further connected with a magnetic switch 34 mounted in the region of the belt pulley 13 adjacent the belt pulley unit 7. The movable switching plunger or rod 35 of this magnetic switch 34 carries the roller members 36 straddling the belt 13.
With this arrangement, if the carriage 2 runs against one of the terminal switches 31 then such triggers an electric control pulse which displaces the switching plunger 35 of the magnetic switch 34. During this movement the driving belt 13 straddled between the rollers 36 is displaced from the belt pulley portion 7b onto the belt pulley portion 70, this causing the carriage 2 to move in the opposite direction.
Now, if the carriage 2 has reached the other end of the guideway 1 then the associated terminal switch 31 delivers an impulse which moves the switching plunger 35 in the other direction, so that the driving belt 13 is displaced from the belt pulley portion 70 onto the belt pulley portion 7b, this again effecting a reversal of the direction of movement of the carriage 2.
It can be advantageous to bring about reversal of the movement of the travelling blower, if it encounters an obstacle, before it has reached the end of its path of travel. As shown in FIGURES 3 to 5, this can be achieved, by way of example, in that the three stage or step pulley 7 is constructed such that the member or portion 7a is rigidly connected with the drive shaft 10 of the electric drive motor 11. Such shaft 10 then advantageously possesses a curved rail or threaded portion 29 in the region of the belt pulley members or portions 7b, 7c. The belt pulley portions 7b, 7c rigidly connected with one another and provided, for instance, with an internal left-hand threading 10a, can move upon the threaded portion 29 of the drive shaft 10. Limitation of this movement takes place, on the one hand, by means of the belt pulley member or portion 7a, and, on the other hand, by virtue of a suitable stop member 30 arranged at the shaft 10. In this embodiment, the rollers straddling the driving belt 13 are not displaceably mounted at the height of the belt pulley portion 7c of FIG- URE 1.
In this case, if the travelling blower strikes against an obstacle then the carriage 2 is stopped. Since the drive motor 11 continues to run there appears slip at the driving belt 13 which brings about the phenomenon that the different peripheral speeds at the dilferent size belt pulley portions 7b and 7c rotating with the same angular velocity attempt to balance one another. The smaller belt pulley portion trained by the driving belt 13 is therefore accelerated, the larger pulley portion delayed, so that the double-belt pulley disk unit 7b, 7c moves relative to the belt pulley portion 7a due to the left-hand threading 10a, whereby at the same time the stationary roller 20 displaces the belt 13 onto the pulley disk portion 70, so that the travelling blower is now displaced in the other direction.
Upon contacting an obstacle in the other direction from that assumed during the description of FIGURE 3, and as will be best understood by referring to FIGURE 4, the belt pulley portion 7a is accelerated, so that the pulley portion 7a and the coupled pulley portions 7b, 7c tend to move apart, whereby, at the same time, the belt 13 is displaced onto the pulley disk portion 7b, thus moving the travelling blower in the other direction. This manner of reversing the direction of travel of the carriage 2 can, of course, also be employed at the ends of the path of travel of the carriage, in that cushions or buffers are provided at such location which make it impossible for the carriage to move further.
Naturally, there are still other possibilities for achieving reversal of the carriage upon striking an obstacle, for example by means of a cable fixed to the carriage which is guided about a deflecting roller at the ends of the path of travel and during motion of the carriage drives a small current generator or a centrifugal pendulum. When the travelling blower is stationary the voltage of the generator collapses and actuates a stepping mechanism which acts upon an electromagnet which causes a shifting linkage or rod to change the position of the belt. In similar manner it is possible to use the linkage or rod of a centrifugal pendulum which moves when the carriage stops in order to actuate a reversing switch which, in turn, again acts via an electromagnet, or directly, upon the shifting linkage for displacing the driving belt.
Basically, it is also possible to reverse the arrangement described in conjunction with FIGURES 1 and 2, of stationary, multiple-step belt pulley means and singlestep belt pulley means movable with the carriage. Such an arrangement will now be considered.
Hence, by directing attention now to the embodiment depicted in FIGURES 6, 7 and 8 it will be observed that the guideway, in this case, comprises two guide rails 43 possessing the cross-sectional configuration of a lying U. These rails 43 are connected via wooden beams 44 to the frame 45 of a spinning machine for instance. A respective wedge-shaped cam 25 and 26 is arranged at each end and between the rails 43. The carriage 2 movable upon the rails 43 carries the same equipment as in the first embodiment; however, the three-step pulley disk unit 7 which possesses three rigidly interconnected pulley disks or members 7a, 7b, 70, wherein the pulley member 7a has the diameter D the pulley member 7b the diameter D =D -K and the pulley member 7c the diameter D =D in this embodiment is arranged upon the carriage 2. Also in this embodiment, the belt pulley 6 is stationary and possesses a common drive shaft 10 with the drive motor 11 thre-adably connected beneath the frame 45. This drive shaft 10 is additionally mounted in the frame 45. The shaft 12 of the simply constructed deflecting roller or disk 8 is not rotatably connected to the frame 45 of the spinning machine. Additionally, four guide rollers 37, 3'8, 39 and 40 rotatable about their associated shaft 41 are mounted upon the carriage 2 symmetric to a transverse axis and a lengthwise axis and around the belt pulley disk unit 7. These four guide rollers 37, 38, 39 and 40 piercingly extend through the carriage 2 and are conjointly axially mounted at a control plate 42 located beneath the carriage 2 and are vertically movable together with such. Pins 46 piercingly extend through the shafts 41 directly above the floor 2a of the carriage 2 and determine the lowermost position of these shafts 41. The frontal ends 42a and 42b of the control plate 42 are destined to cooperate with the cams 25 and 26 and are appropriately beveled, as shown. An endless driving belt 13 successively trains about the belt pulley disk 6, the guide roller 37, the belt pulley disk 7b, the guide roller 38, the turning or deflecting roller 8, the guide roller 39, the belt pulley disk 70 and the guide roller 40.
During operation of this arrangement, the drive motor '11 rotates the belt pulley 6 in counterclockwise direction and such, in turn, displaces the driving belt 13. Since the belt pulley 6 has the same diameter at all locations there is imparted to the driving belt 13 a uniform rotational speed. The movement of the belt 13 is transmitted to the belt pulley unit 7 and the ventilator impeller 4. The belt 13 engages at the belt pulley unit 7 with the pulley disks 7b and 7c of different diameter (D and D thereby having the tendency to generate two different rotational speeds at the belt pulley unit 7 corresponding to the respective diameters. However, since both belt pulley disks 7b and 7c are rigidly connected with one another only a single rotational speed can. result, this being rendered possible due to rolling of the belt pulley unit 7 upon the driving belt 13 in the direction of the speed of the belt strand contacting the pulley disk of smaller diameter. As a result, the carriage 2 moves towards the left side of the guide rails 43.
When the control plate 42 rides upon the cam 26 the former is moved upwards due to the beveling feature of end 42b and simultaneously displaces the shafts 41 of the guide rollers 37, 38, 39 and 40 collectively upwards, whereby the deep grooves of the aforesaid guide rollers cause the belt strands wrapped about the pulley disks 7b and 70 to train about the pulley disks 7a and 7b respectively. Consequently, the direction of the velocity of the belt has changed to the smaller pulley disk 7b and the carriage 2 thus moves with the same speed in the opposite direction while the ventilator impeller 4 rotates further with the same rotational speed and rotational sense, since the driving belt 13 has maintained its speed and direction. The reversal of the direction of movement of the carriage 2 via the cam 25 at the right end of the rails 43 takes place in analogous manner, such cam 25 downwardly displacing the control plate 42, thereby causing the strands of the belt 13 to train about the pulley disks 7b and 70, whereby the carriage 2 is again moved to the left while retaining the direction of rotation of the ventilator impeller 4. The guide rollers 67, 38, 39 and 40 have the additional function of increasing the training angle of the belt pulley unit 7 in order to prevent slip of the driving 'belt 13.

Yellow leaves on daphne odora
I have a Daphne Odora I planted last year. It has since bloomed, but now the leaves are turning yellow, one by one, with brown spots on them. Is this a fungus, or some other disease? I don't see any bugs on the plants.
No one has answered, so I thought I would take a stab. It may just be the daphne dropping some leaves as it grows and gets bigger. I have had lots of good luck with Daphne, and from my experience, it seems pest free. If I have problems it was due to cultural problems, e.g. too much sun, not enough drainage. It is unhappy in lots of sun, and I have gone to planting them in a raised berm of a potting soil blend. Look for new growth- if you see that, its probably OK.
Am I glad to find this thread! My Daphne O. Marginata is simultaneously dropping yellow leaves, and growing new ones, The tips of every branch is putting out new leaves, but the lower leaves are falling off.
Should I worry? What should I do?
I used organic fertilizer on my Daphne and it's making flowers on every branch! But all the lower leaves have fallen off. The remaining ones are turning yellow, then falling off.
The nursery says it will probably like more light, and not reflected light. So I moved it to where it'll get more light. Hope it'll make more leaves so it doesn't look so top-heavy.
Here is a link that might be useful: My garden blog
I have had them in fairly dense shade, and also in morning sun. I saw one at Davidson College outside of Charlotte, and it was very healthy in near full sun. So I think they can tolerate a wide range of conditions, but I have had the best luck with either full shade or morning sun at most. The one thing they cannot tolerate is less than perfect drainage, so I always build them up in a mini berm with potting type soil mixture as the medium. A bit expensive, but well worth it.
Very happy to learn I'm not alone in this. I adore the odoras, and bought two last spring, which I planted in large boxes on my patio, where they got afternoon south sun. They were quickly scorched (or it seemed so to me, just guessing). I replanted them against the west fence, where they get some morning sun and dappled in the afternoon, but they continue to drop their leaves (though they're flowering like mad...). However, a third one I bought later in the year, which I planted against the west fence with the other two, is still full variegated dark green, glossy and healthy, no yellowing or leaf-drop, and is flowering too, though a couple of weeks later than the others. I'm concluding that the shade advice is the one to go with, rather than the sun advice. I've certainly gotten both from the nursery-workers here in B.C., and the books don't help much either.
Mine is dropping some leaves right now but also blooming and pushing out new growth. I'm not worried about it at all. It has done it every year.
Gets afternoon shade from a Japanese Maple during the time of year it is leafed out. Full sun when branches are bare.
My daphne 2 odora's (2) were planted last spring in large planters with planting soil. They receive direct morning sun and filtered sun in the afternoon as they are on the front (covered) porch. I planted them in the spring and they have tripled in size, getting top heavy and leaning over ... is this normal? I'm thinking they need more sun and I want to move them to a planting area in the ground where they will receive more light and also be a little protected (they'll be in front of boxwood hedges). Does this sound like the right thing to do and if so, should I move them in the fall or winter? Also, when I transplant them I'll make a burb using planting soil. Should I plant them "deeper" so that the main branch gets thicker and more stable?
I don't know about the leaning over part, unless the weight is pulling it out of the pot to the side. I don't think they would do well in afternoon sun. Ordinarily I wouldn't mess with success, except it sounds like they are getting too big for the pots. They really hate being transplanted, so the less tampering you do with the roots, the better.
I pretty much think everyone has hit it on the head..It's normal...Mine drops the bottom leaves too of yellow while it gives me new growth and flowers...
If you are using a good fertilizer with micros, it should do just fine.
A good mix that drains well is a must with these. Just as much as I have heard they hate having their roots disturbed, even more important to know is that they a very prone to root rot...

2000 Volkswagen Beetle GLS 2.0 Review
I think it is the cutest car I have ever owned. People always wave to you in a Beetle!
Not practical for moving or hauling things around however, I have fit a dishwasher into the back hatch.
My Little Dumpling — I really love this car. Now I drive a truck due to my lifestyle and no longer need this one. I plan on buying another VW Beetle in the Fall of 2013. They do tend to run a little rough like a go cart, so if you need a luxury ride, this car is not for you.

Its cute and yellow and looks brand new
The cupholders.. they barely fit a "small"
Cute And Bubbly Car! :) — I dislike the cup-holders. I also dislike you have to take parts off to do the oil change. I like the 1.8T engine it gives it a go. It doesn't get great gas mileage and eats the premium gas from SHELL.. But thats part my fault b/c I drive to fast! :)

huge dashboard and front windshield, sunshades often useless, bad turning radius
Fun, Eye Catching, Fast Bug Reflex Yellow — Fun, eye catching, fast bug. Great Reflex Yellow color. This car was fun and always had people looking. Have to love the bug culture and the people. Just plain fun and peppy and hippyish... gotta love that. Great gas mileage. Negatives: huge dashboard and front windshield, sunshades often useless, bad turning radius

Roominess, Performance, Handling, Braking, Torque
Shifting (automatic), ABS system, Air Conditioning Power Draw
Amazing Tiny Car For Super Huge Tall Guy — Acceleration and top speed are amazing, brakes rock, o2 sensors keep breaking, 24 miles to each gallon, handling on corners is amazing at higher speeds, needed a better water pump recently, not a lot of space under the hood of the car, fun to drive every single day, has a great takeoff on the line, 0-60 is about 7 seconds, 15 gallon fuel tank capacity, 115HP engine, 4-speed automatic transmission, max RPMs is 8000

Reliable and cute
Poor handling and performannce to someone who cut their teeth on sports cars, but I love it and so do other people
My Beetle Been Berry, Berry Good To Me. — It's the worst handling thing I've ever had but it gets me where I'm going and has been as reliable as the Rock of Gibraltar. I wouldn't get another one but you can't beat a VW. I'm sold on VW and would recommend them.

2000 Volkswagen Beetle GL Review
Fun to drive, very stable on the highway, quiet and had a great interior for the price.
Small trunk. Engine components difficult to access for work. A little too low for snowy Chicago streets.
Fun Fishbowl — I bought this car the first year the New Beetle came out. Surprising pretty roomy and comfortable on the inside. At the time it was rare and definitely turned a lot of heads. It had it first year car whoas. Power windows has issues, steering wheel paint came off on my hands, seats look tattered after only a few months of ownership. I suspect most of these issue have been ironed out by now. This was fun car to own.

It's fast and no one expects cuz it's a bug, but they dnt realize it has a turbo engine and is really fast. it also gets great gas mileage
matience isn't always cheap
Turbo Bugs Rock! — I love my car, it cute, fast, and fun to drive. the only complaint i have is tht the factory window motors are bad. in my current and pervious bug i had to replace the $300 window motors 3 times between the two. also, some of the plastic trim pieces on the interior break and scratch easily. overall i love my car, after all, no car is perfect.

Almost everything: Turbo (sounded like an airplane taking off & went FAST), adorable,
Dodgy stuff kept happening (window fell in, seat came off-track, water in taillight housing
I Got This Car For My Birthday & I Adored It. I Cried The Day I Watched It Drive Away Without Me. — I had a 2000 VW New Beetle. The color was Vapor, which was a limited edition of 2000. VW described Vapor as "blue that has seen a ghost." People would stop & stare at my car & one would say, "I love that white bug!" & the other one would say, "No, it's blue." "No, white." Etc. My car was sold to me as a regular VW New Beetle. The day after I brought it home I popped the hood to admire the engine. And yes, there it was, sprawling in big white letters across the engine: TURBO. I felt like Mister Pennybags, the Monopoly icon, when the Community Chest card informs him that he just won second prize in a beauty contest. Believe me when I tell you, this car could GO. You put your big toe down lightly on the gas pedal & plah-DOW! Off that car went. It was a gem. About 2 months after I bought the car (new from the dealer), the passenger side window fell into the door. The car was under warranty so the repair was free. About a year later VW recalled the 2000 New Beetles because of this problem. When the car was about 5 years old, the passenger seat came off-track. It kept getting worse. We took the car in about a year after this problem started & VW said it would cost $2000 to fix. In 2006 my husband decided he wanted a new car. He was driving a 2002 Honda CRV. So he took my bug & traded it in for a 2006 Acura TSX *stifling yawn*. He has no idea, but when he drove it out of our driveway to trade it in, I cried. I felt like Jemaine when Sally broke up with him. Now I'm driving the 2002 Honda CRV.

HRT question..........
Hi all,
I'm on combipatch, and am having a horrible life. I don't know if my symptoms are low hormones, or my Fibromyalgia/chronic fatigue or what, but I suspect they are low hormone related. I did fairly well this past year on just combipatch. Then I tried to quit it for 2 and 1/2 months and felt like poop, and went back on. But I just can't get my groove back! I feel horrible all the time. My OB/GYN recommended adding either Menest or Cenestin. Have any of you had experience with these? Thanks.
Just stopping the combipatch (estrogen and progesterone)could possibly mess you up. I weaned off of it - applied a patch every two weeks for awhile then every month to go off of it. Try it again for a few months, then if you don't feel better, you've got some justification for your doctor, as you did feel OK when you were taking it regularly. You may want to have the Dr. check your iron level or your red blood cell count too. Just my opinion...good luck!
Thanks Okla_gal and Junelynn for your replies. Okla_gal......the Combipatch has progesterone and estrogen. It sticks like you wouldn't believe. It has never come off accidentally, even after baths and showers.
Junelynn......That was a great idea about weaning off the patch (if I ever do it again). I don't know what I was thinking about abruptly stopping it. I guess it is so smooth, I didn't think it was really doing anything......but it sure was! I've even thought of cutting it in half and using it that way. Hormones are just nothing to mess with in a frivolous manner! It's funny you mentioned testing my iron level. I recently went to my neuro doc for B12 testing, since I have symptoms, and it showed I have a low ferritin level.......so I'm on Iron. I hope I can continue it, since I'm having major GI problems. Thanks again for your replies!
Catherine...about the patches sticking...
HA HA! I have one of those thin woven cotton blankets....there is still a patch on it....it is SO stuck to it...must've come off in my sleep or something...yet I wear underwear to bed so go figure...(I always applied it to my hip/buttock area). The blanket has been washed many times and the imprint of WHERE the patch was is STILL there after many years!
Make sure if you get a prescription for iron that is also has "intrinsic value"...that helps the body ABSORB iron. If the Dr. has prescribed iron. I had a very smart doctor once who told me all the iron in the world won't do any good if you don't have that with it. I had prescription iron with intrinsic factor. Iron will mess up your stomach if you're not careful. Since then I've learned to enjoy prunes and prune juice, you get some iron from it. It has very little effect on me "the other way" so I don't have a problem. (Sometimes I wish it would...).
Good Luck!
Your "smart doctor" needs to learn his/her physiology a little better. All iron will be absorbed if you take it. Adding intrinsic factor to iron, even if it is possible, (which I doubt) is a gimmick. People without intrinsic factor develop an anemia kmown as "pernicious anemia." It's the result of a B12 deficiency because the body cannot absorb B12 from food or from supplements without "intrinsic factor." Pernicious anemia is treated with regular (usually monthly) *injections* of B 12. It has nothing to do with iron deficiency or iron use. See:
or do a google search using either pernicious anemia or intrinsic factor as your search terms.
Here is a link that might be useful: http://www.healthwell.com/healthnotes/Concern/Pernicious_Anemia.cfm
Well, I did take iron with intrinsic value that was a precription. And it helped. Not all iron is absorbed, as to why some forms are terribly constipating. My mom had to take B12 for pernicious anemia and also had prescription supplements with intrinsic value. I don't consider it a gimmick. Different strokes for different folks...

The ground floor of the two story building houses the living areas, kitchen, and entertainment room. The glass curtain walls open on either side, extending the outdoor space to the inside, creating an effect of a home without walls. Kogan made the ceiling of the large space just under 8 feet high to make the space cozy.
The entertainment room opens onto timber decks on either side, which lead to small gardens and a dipping pool. Within the deck, trees are planted, providing shade throughout the deck area and fresh air which wafts indoors. Ivy lines much of the outside, including the rectangular window which bisects the length of the living room and supports the second floor.
The second floor section, above the living room, houses the bedrooms, which also open onto timber decks. Wooden brises soleil create privacy in the bedrooms while filtering daylight inside. The master suite is adjacent to a timber solarium, which features a private fire pit for grilling or keeping warm.
The entire property, amidst the hustle and bustle of São Paulo, is protected by a stone wall, giving the open air home privacy.
