The invention concerns a wagon particularly suitable for cutting and mixing long-fiber materials, as for example fodder or grass or straw stored in silos or packed in bales or at their natural state.
Commonly known wagons are generally constituted by a container, within which there are one or more rotating endless screws, some positioned in the lower part of the container and some in its upper part.
Said commonly known wagons are suitable to perform the cutting and mixing especially of short-fiber materials, and have great difficulties in cutting long-fiber materials, especially in large quantities, as fodder or grass and straw stored in silos.
In fact during the cutting and mixing of long-fiber materials, the endless screws located in the upper part are subject to easily become obstructed because the material gets entangled around them, thereby hindering and even blocking their rotation. In some cases this can go as far as to bend the endless screw.
The same problem, also if with less intensity, is found even in the lower endless-screws.
It is in order to overcome this difficulty that we disclose this improved wagon for cutting, mixing and dispensing according to the invention, which has the main purpose of preventing, during the cutting and mixing phase, the accumulation of material between the endless-screws and the walls of the container with all the problems deriving therefrom.
The described purpose is reached through the realization of a improved wagon with cutting, mixing and dispensing functions, particularly suitable for the cutting and mixing of fodder, grass or straw stored in silos, that according to the main claim includes:
a container on wheels, provided with a hitch for the coupling it to a trailing vehicle, with at least one port for the introduction of the material to be treated and with at least one trapdoor to discharge the treated material;
at least two rotary endless screws, positioned at the bottom of the container, each one being lodged inside a curved-profile compartment obtained at the bottom of said compartment, whereby the endless screws are parallel and each equipped with at least a pair of spirals, one of them wound in a clockwise direction and the other one in a counter-clockwise direction beginning from the ends of the endless-screws and such as to lead the treated material towards the central part of each endless-screw, whereby each of them presents a number of cutters protruding from the external edge of the spirals that are present on the endless screw, and the wagon is characterized in that each of the endless screws presents, in the zone of convergence of the spirals, at least one baffle plate in the orthogonal position in relation to the lengthwise axis of said endless screw.
According to a preferred embodiment of the invention, said baffle plate, which is equipped with cutters protruding from its peripheral part, presents tapered lateral surfaces in order to obtain a better conveyance of the material.
Moreover, from both sides of the baffle plate, a counter-spiral branches off, with an opposite winding direction with respect to the adjoining spiral, and this counter-spiral is found above the corresponding tapered side-surface of the baffle plate. The end of the counter-spiral is jointed to the terminal part of the spiral by means of a dividing sector in a radial position with respect to the endless screw and similarly a further dividing sector, also in a radial position with respect to the endless screw, connects the end of the spiral to the tapered side-surface of the baffle plate.
At the bottom of the container and parallel to each endless screw, there is an adjustable-position blade, preferably a saw-toothed one, the teeth of which cooperate with the cutters and with the spirals forming the endless screws, realizing the cutting function and preventing the material from getting entangled around the endless screws. Moreover, within the container, on one of the walls and in correspondence with the central zone of the screws, there is a trapdoor for the discharge of the treated material, while on the essentially vertical wall opposite the trapdoor is positioned a deflector which has the purpose of constantly and continuously conveying the material above the screws, thereby favoring the mixing and avoiding any stoppage.
At the bottom of the container the curved-profile compartments where the endless screws are housed, communicate with one another through a port made in the central wall that separates them, just in front of the trapdoor. Advantageously, the wagon of the invention offers a more reliable performance as compared to the wagons of the known type.
Further scope of applicability of the present invention will become apparent from the detailed description given hereinafter. However, it should be understood that the detailed description and specific example, while indicating a preferred embodiment of the invention, are given by way of illustration only, since various changes and modifications within the spirit and scope of the invention will become apparent to those skilled in the art from this detailed description and from the drawings, wherein:
FIG. 1 shows the improved wagon of the invention in an axonometric representation;
FIG. 2 shows the wagon of the invention in a lengthwise section;
FIG. 3 shows the improved wagon in its transversal section;
FIG. 4 shows the improved wagon of the invention in an axonometric representation with a view of the endless screws;
FIG. 5 shows in an axonometric view one of the endless screws of the wagon;
FIG. 6 shows in an axonometric view the detail of the central part of the wagon endless screws;
FIG. 7 shows the detail of the central part of one of the endless screws;
FIG. 8 shows the detail of the saw-toothed blade positioned in the internal part of the container;
FIG. 9 shows the detail of the saw-toothed blade positioned along the wall of the container.
As shown in the FIGS. 1 and 2, the improved wagon of the invention, indicated as a whole with 1, is constituted by a container 2 supported by wheels 4 and said container in the front side presents a hitch 5 in order to be coupled to any trailing vehicle, and in the upper side presents a charging mouth 3 for the material to be treated.
The container is preferably realized with sheet-metal and, as showed in the FIGS. 3 and 4, just above its bottom 6 a pair of endless screws 7 is located, and each of them, as showed in FIG. 5, is formed by a central core 8 around which two spirals 9 and 10 are wound opposite to one another. Particularly, spiral 9 is wound in a counter-clockwise direction while spiral 10 is wound in a clockwise direction so that, starting from the two ends of the central core 8, they have a convergent movement towards the central part 12 of the endless screw to which they belong. Each of said spirals presents also peripherally a number of blades 13 fixed so that they protrude out of the external edges 14 of said spirals.
At the bottom of the container are also located saw-toothed blades 15 and 115 shown in FIG. 6, each presenting a number of teeth 35 and located in the lengthwise direction parallel to the endless screw.
The function of said saw-toothed blades 15 and 115 and particularly of their teeth 35, is fundamental to achieve the cutting of the material and to prevent said material from getting entangled around the endless-screws. In fact, with reference to FIG. 6, during the rotation of the screws, the tip 41 of each tooth 35 grazes the external edge 14 of the spirals 9 and 10, thus preventing the material from getting entangled around the endless screws. At the same time the sides 42 of each tooth 35 graze the blades 13, thus cutting of the material.
The position of the teeth 35 in relation to their respective endless screw 7 is adjustable by shifting the blades to which the teeth 35 belong. Said shifting occurs by pressing the blades by exploiting the elasticity of the material constituting the blades and the teeth. In fact it can be observed in the FIGS. 3, 6 and also in the detailed FIGS. 8 and 9 that the blades 115 and 15 have an adjustable position due to the pressure of the adjustment screws 144 and 44 respectively. In particular , as is shown in FIG. 9, the blade 115 is fixed to the side-wall 27 of the container 2 by means of a number of screws 143 and the position of its teeth 35 is set by adjusting from the outside of the container 2 the screwing of the screws 144 fixed to the side-wall 27, while said screws force said blade 115. In a similar way the blade 15 is fixed to the central wall 32 by screws 43 and the position of its teeth 35 is set by adjusting, from the outside of container 2, the degree of tightening of the screw 44 fixed to blade 15 which pushes against said central wall 32.
Each endless screw 7, as is shown in the FIGS. 6 and 7, presents in the central zone 12 a circular-shaped baffle 16, the side-surfaces of which .present each a tapered section 37 and 137 respectively which are positioned with their major base adhering to the disk. Said surfaces 37 and 137 with their tapered section favor the turning of the material which, as shown in FIG. 2, is continuously conveyed upwards in the direction indicated by the arrow 38, thereby favoring a better mixing and avoiding accumulations.
Moreover from each side of the baffle 16 a counter-spiral branches off, its winding direction being opposite to the spiral adjoining the baffle, and said counter-spiral is realized on the corresponding tapered section surface of the baffle.
This is particularly evident in the FIGS. 2 and 5 where it is shown that from the baffle 16 , on the side of spiral 9, a counter-spiral 109 branches off, and similarly on the side of spiral 10 a counter-spiral 110, each one presenting, as said, an opposite winding direction in relation to its respective spiral. Said counter-spirals, positioned with a staggering of 180 degrees between them on the two sides of the baffle 16, may, in a different embodiment of the invention, be more than one in number and positioned at a different angle between them.
The function of said counter-spirals is also to facilitate the mixing of the material and to avoid accumulations.
Furthermore, the end of each counter-spiral is connected to its respective spiral, and similarly the end of each spiral is connected to its respective tapered-section surface of the baffle, both with a dividing sector constituted by a blade in a radial position in relation to the endless-screw and in a parallel direction to the axis of said endless-screw. So particularly in FIG. 2 it can be observed that the end 169 of the counter-spiral 109 is connected to spiral 9 by means of a dividing sector 179, while the end 189 of spiral 9 is connected to the tapered surface 137 of the baffle 16 by means of another dividing sector 199.
Similarly the end 160 of the counter-spiral 110 is connected to spiral 10 by means of a dividing sector 170 while the end 180 of spiral 10, shown in the FIGS. 5, 6 and 7, is connected to the tapered section surface 37 of the baffle 16 by means of yet another dividing sector 190.
Moreover, preferably but not necessarily, to the baffle 16 are fixed some blades 17 protruding from its external edge 18.
The material to be processed, in this case a bale 23, as shown in FIG. 3, is laid upon the endless-screws 7 that are to rotate in the clockwise direction 22. During the rotation of the endless-screws, the bale 23 is flaked by the action of the blades 13.
Said flaked material is simultaneously cut by means of the grazing action of the blades 13 on the sides 42 of the teeth 35 of the fixed saw-toothed blades 15 and 115 as already described. Moreover, simultaneously, it undergoes a mixing process because of the axial-movement caused by the spirals 9 and 10, set opposite to one another, which, during the rotation of each endless-screw 7, push the material towards the central part 12 of each spiral.
When the material reaches said central part 12 of each endless screw 7 where the baffle 16 is located, the tapered surfaces 37 and 137 of said baffle 16 lead it upwards in direction 38, thereby avoiding accumulations. As can be seen in FIGS. 3 and 4, in front of the trapdoor 24 an essentially vertical wall 100 is placed which is spaced from the lateral wall 27 defining the external surface of the container 2. Moreover, to said essentially vertical wall 100 a deflector 29 is applied, the upper surface 30 of which is inclined with a divergence towards the outside of the container. The wagon has, therefore, an inner asymmetrical shape which, when the screws rotate in the clockwise direction indicated with the arrow 22, facilitates the conveyance of the material against the inclined surface 30 of the deflector 29 and against the essentially vertical wall 100, which cause the turning of the material according to direction 28. This allows the movement of the material under treatment also in the zone 50 of the container visible in FIG. 3, where it would otherwise remain practically still. Furthermore, the presence of said deflector 29 reduces also the power needed to cut the material, because it prevents the material from accumulating in position 26 contained between the endless-screw and the wall 27 of the container 2.
To avoid the accumulation of material also in the central zones 25 of the container and furthermore also to facilitate the discharging of material at the end of the treatment through the discharge trapdoor 24, the curved-profile compartments 31 within which the endless screws 7 are positioned, in their central wall 32 present a port 33 that, as shown in the FIGS. 6 and 7, is realized near the central part 12 of the endless screws.
This port facilitates the circulation of the material from one endless screw to the other and simplifies its discharge through the trapdoor 24.
By this description it is thus comprehensible that the material within container 2 is first cut and subsequently transported by means of the spirals 9 and 10 of the endless screws 7 without the risk of stoppage or, even worse, of the breaking-down of said screws. It has been noted in fact that due to the presence of the deflector 29, of the essentially vertical wall 100 on which the deflector is applied, of the baffle 16 with its tapered-section surfaces 137 and 37, and also of the counter-spirals 109 and 110, the material under treatment is kept in constant movement. The presence moreover of the port 33 which allows the communication between the compartments 31 within which the endless screws 7 are housed, favors the discharge of the cut and mixed material through the trapdoor 24. Therefore, in the wagon of the invention provided with the described improvements, a blockage while in operation is avoided, so that the operations of cutting and mixing of the material take place with great reliability. During the realization phase some construction modifications to the wagon of the invention may be performed, which modifications may consist e.g. of the realization of the spirals in each endless screw with many beginnings or with variable or not constant pitch. Furthermore even more baffles can be mounted in each endless screw.
It is understood however that all said variations are protected by the present invention.

Shapeways: Bring your creativity to life in 3D http://www.shapeways.com/forum/index.php Shapeways: Bring your creativity to life in 3D How Dense Should a Curvy Mesh Be in Order to Avoid a Faceted Look? http://www.shapeways.com/forum/index.php?t=rview&goto=77460&th=16426#msg_77460 <![CDATA[I am just beginning to create what will be my first Shapeways-printed model. I'm using (and learning on the fly!) Blender for this purpose.

 The most prominent part of the model will be made from a 2D curve that is spun/lathed about an axis, much like the various tutorials that you'll find online for creating a goblet or chess piece. I'm wondering how dense the mesh will need to be in order to avoid a faceted look in the 3D print.

 The shape that I'm making is roughly cone-shaped, although there is a gentle curve from the base of the cone to its tip. The shape will be about 7 cm in diameter and 10 cm in length.

 What would you suggest?

 Thanks in advance!]]> GInSpace76 2013-10-24T14:26:52-00:00 Re: How Dense Should a Curvy Mesh Be in Order to Avoid a Faceted Look? http://www.shapeways.com/forum/index.php?t=rview&goto=77483&th=16426#msg_77483 <![CDATA[My notes here http://stonysmith.com/wired/scaling.asp will give you an indirect answer to this topic.

 Here's a hyper technical answer:

 For maximum accuracy, The size of a facet needs to be 1/2 of the resolution of the printer. Since the resolution of the printers is not published by Shapeways, we can instead us the rated "accuracy" number they do publish..

 For example, WhiteStrongFlexible has an accuracy of 0.15mm - that means you should design facets no larger than 0.075mm - if you do, your model will be more accurate than printer can produce.

 The problem will be that at 7cm in diameter, that means that for maximum fidelity, you need ~3000 segments around the circle of the cone, and ~1500 segments along the length. That would give you a rectangular polygon count of 4.5m quads or 9.0m triangles. The trouble is that Shapeways only allows uploads of 1m triangles, so a highly accurate model could not be uploaded..

 So somewhere on your model, you have to sacrifice a bit of fidelity.

 ===
 But again, that is the technical answer. You can like achieve something generally smooth and still stay under the 1m triangle limit.

 Note: if you are printing in Ceramic, the model is dipped in glaze, so the faceting will be substantially reduced. Also, if you're printing in any of the "Polished" materials, then smaller facets will is also significantly smoothed out.]]> stonysmith 2013-10-24T16:21:48-00:00 Re: How Dense Should a Curvy Mesh Be in Order to Avoid a Faceted Look? http://www.shapeways.com/forum/index.php?t=rview&goto=77489&th=16426#msg_77489 <![CDATA[Thanks for the recommendations! I'll keep them in mind as I trudge through learning Blender sufficiently enough to make what I'm trying to make. ]]> GInSpace76 2013-10-24T16:45:58-00:00 Re: How Dense Should a Curvy Mesh Be in Order to Avoid a Faceted Look? http://www.shapeways.com/forum/index.php?t=rview&goto=77494&th=16426#msg_77494 <![CDATA[I'd only worry about small facets in highly curved areas. The middle of a dinner plate can have fairly large triangles, whereas the rim will need many, many more as the curve over the rim from front to back has a much higher curvature. (Technically speaking, curvature is the inverse of radius.)]]> FreeRangeBrain 2013-10-24T16:59:44-00:00 Re: How Dense Should a Curvy Mesh Be in Order to Avoid a Faceted Look? http://www.shapeways.com/forum/index.php?t=rview&goto=77497&th=16426#msg_77497 <![CDATA[With things like this it's sometimes easier to make some tests than calculate in advance.

 The Model views in Shapeways will give you a good indication of faceting, so why not create several test cones at the size you desire with different mesh density and see what they look like.

 You could also play around with the Subdivision Surface Modifier.]]> AmLachDesigns 2013-10-24T17:11:43-00:00 Re: How Dense Should a Curvy Mesh Be in Order to Avoid a Faceted Look? http://www.shapeways.com/forum/index.php?t=rview&goto=77516&th=16426#msg_77516 <![CDATA[Thanks for the additional suggestions!

The size of what you see here is a bit different than what I posted above, because I misremembered the dimensions.

 Length: 7 cm
 Diameter: 5 cm

 This mesh seems dense enough not to seem too faceted when 3D-printed.

 If you printed in wsf the facets would show, imo, if in pwsf less so but probably still visible.]]> AmLachDesigns 2013-10-25T08:05:01-00:00 Re: How Dense Should a Curvy Mesh Be in Order to Avoid a Faceted Look? http://www.shapeways.com/forum/index.php?t=rview&goto=77550&th=16426#msg_77550 <![CDATA[Export to stl format and look at it in the (free) netfabb studio basic program - that way you can be sure that the software is not playing any visual smoothing tricks on you, and you will also get to see the current triangle count.
 As AmLachDesigns noted, the material you intend to use may play a role as well - depending on what (if anything) is attached to that cone and how sharp you need the tip to be, you could opt for the polished strong&flexible or post-process the part yourself to get rid of facets.
 You also might want to do a trial upload at some point to check that you stay within your expected price range - even with a hollow object at minimum wall thickness, it might be quite expensive if the cone is just a smallish detail on a bigger object at that scale.
 (Without knowing more, it is anybody's guess if that will become just a mathematical cone sculpture, a mollusk shell, early jet engine or even the minaret tip of a big mosque  )]]> mkroeker 2013-10-25T09:54:21-00:00 Re: How Dense Should a Curvy Mesh Be in Order to Avoid a Faceted Look? http://www.shapeways.com/forum/index.php?t=rview&goto=77557&th=16426#msg_77557 <![CDATA[Thanks again for the advice!

 Blender reports a face count of about 3500 for the cone-like shapes (two, actually -- the wider one near the back, and the narrower one at the front with the tip).

 I also see the facets, even in the Blender renderer. I'll try that NetFabb application, and I'll merge the two cones into a single mesh, then make it a (hollow) 3D object, then upload it to Shapeways to see (1) what it looks like there and (2) how much it will cost to print in WSF and WSFP. If the cost isn't too crazy -- although I expect it to be high, given the size of this part -- I might test print it, too. Not sure yet. I do expect to sand the print, which is why even though I see the facets even now, I thought it might be acceptable. I suppose the question of acceptability is a subjective one, isn't it?

 This cone-shaped thing is part of a larger whole, but this feature makes up about half of the overall object's exterior form.

 As for what the object is... it's... this:

 Custom Panosh Place-Style Vehicle Team Voltron Toy, Unit #1 (Air Team; Voltron's Head) (The photos are of crude concept models constructed from foam core and posterboard. The designs have evolved and deviated a bit from what's shown in these photos.)

 I'm making a transforming Voltron "toy" as a hobby project -- not to be sold. As a kid I always wanted a toy of this version of Voltron that could transform and accommodate (never-made) action figures of its pilots. The combined robot, consisting of 15 separable modules, will look something like this:  http://forums.voltron.com/eve/forums/a/tpc/f/3171005071/m/62 73919177?r=5593986977#5593986977

 I suspect the printing cost of this monstrosity will be astronomical, so it might never be fully printed. We'll see.

 Thanks again for the advice!]]> GInSpace76 2013-10-25T11:04:35-00:00 Re: How Dense Should a Curvy Mesh Be in Order to Avoid a Faceted Look? http://www.shapeways.com/forum/index.php?t=rview&goto=77558&th=16426#msg_77558 <![CDATA[If you want it smooth, raise the face count - by all accounts wsf is a real pain to sand. It seems that you have plenty of scope for upping the face count, but beware that 1 face does not necessarily equate to 1 triangle (ngons are possible in Blender) and triangles is what SW counts. Nonetheless you have a way to go the the 1 million limit...

 On the other hand...more faces equals longer upload time.

 Good luck!]]> AmLachDesigns 2013-10-25T11:17:21-00:00 Re: How Dense Should a Curvy Mesh Be in Order to Avoid a Faceted Look? http://www.shapeways.com/forum/index.php?t=rview&goto=77562&th=16426#msg_77562 <![CDATA[Thanks! The "face count" that I gave was actually the "tri count," so I think we're talking apples and apples. I think I will increase the density of the cones.]]> GInSpace76 2013-10-25T12:00:15-00:00

Digital Signage At-a-Glance Guide
Whether it's presenting up-to-the-second information, promoting a brand, advertising a specific product or service—or any of dozens of other applications—digital signs are a familiar part of so many settings. Businesses of all kinds—retailers, restaurants, schools, hotels, and more—are using digital signs to enhance the customer experience, showcase products and services, drive inventory turnover, give customers the new ideas that drive sales, and much more.
How Digital Signs Are Used
Businesses can achieve a wide range of goals using digital signage. Here are some of the most common objectives:
Lowering costs. Replacing slower, costly, and less efficient printed methods of distributing information.
Increasing sales. Increasing awareness of products, services, new offerings, promotions, and so forth, linking digital signage with inventory to make it possible to automatically update pricing for products that are reaching their expiration date.
Information or wayfinding. Providing visitors and consumers with information and directions for specific locations, events, arrivals, departures and so forth, in transit centers, hospitality, schools, large retail complexes, and many other locations.
Merchandising. Making a virtual product presentation to enable the consumer to view a product from all angles, see videos, get information, and so forth.
Enhancing the customer experience. Showing "how to" videos to give people new ideas about using your products; using multi-touch-screen signs and kiosks that enable people to get quick access to information they need.
Enhance and extend the brand. Offering HD video, animated and/or glassless 3-D graphics, and new levels of interactivity to create high-impact brand messaging.

I would like to bike to work (a job that I'll hopefully get at the end of the week) and do some other errands with. This past summer I bought a '78 Schwinn Traveler, all original, just needs a few touch ups of paint. Anyway could anyone point me in a few directions on the extra acessories? I'm on a very tight budget, would like to keep this all at least under $100.
1) I'm taking off the beater pedals on the bike and relplacing them with the MKS GR-9 pedals / Toe clip / Strap combo from Ben's Cycle for $45. Should hold up fine I'm guessing and look nice with the bike.
2) Headlight / Taillight: I'm a bit in the dark on this one... Never used lights before, so don't know anything. Are any of the light combo deals that you see on Nashbar, etc. bright enough for commuting in the dark?
3) Fenders: I've read in this forum that they're recommended. Again, going with retro idea I'd like fenders that have the chrome look. Can I find a pair of these and still stay within my budget?
4) Rear rack: I'm guessing I should commute, do some errands first before I decide if I need one. The job that I'm hoping to get has a very casual atmosphere so stuffing clothes and shoes in a messenger bag shouldn't be a problem. Again, if I get a rack I'd like one that is "chrome" or at least gray, raw metal.
Other things: The wheels are the original bolt on 27 inchers so I'm thinking of upgrading - probably in the second phase of adding extras bc I don't have the funds right now. My concern is if they'll hold up ok (they seem to fine so far) and if they'll hold up for winter riding. That brings me to another question - is the bike suitable for winter riding...in Madison, WI? Are knobby tires or studs available in 27 inch?
This is a bit longer than I planned but if I forgot anything please say so. Thanks for the all the help!!!

Ironic – NBC Sponsors 2013 SHOT Show – biggest Gun Show in America
Lets see. You have NBC and MSNBC idiots touting the elimination of the second amendment. You have Bob Costas turning a NFL half time show into a an anti-gun rant. You have David Gregory violating DC gun laws, making an ass out of himself in front of NRA CEO to try and make a point. You also have NBC political analysis Ed Rendell bragging about how how good it was that the Newtown tragedy was so horrific because it 'brings people to their side.' So what does NBC do? They sponsor the 2013 SHOT show in Las Vegas, deemed the biggest gun show in America. F*cking hypocrites.

The NBC Sports Network, a subsidiary of the communications giant Comcast, is helping to sponsor the largest gun trade show in the country despite anti-gun rhetoric on the NBC family of television networks, including a controversial monologue by one of its sports announcers.
NBC Sports is listed as one of the primary sponsors of the 2013 SHOT Show, which takes place Jan. 15 to18 in Las Vegas and bills itself "the world's premier exposition of combined firearms."

What is a brick ****house standard?
What is a brick ****house standard?
You'll have to pry my Rennkompressor from my cold dead hands.
I own the SKS Rennkompressor - recently the base detached from the pump.
I contacted SKS - they said send it in.
Oh did I mention that my pump is 20 years old!
Duly sent in the pump - 4 days later I received a new one free of charge!
Something you might want to consider in this era of planned obsolescence.
Love my Lezyne pump. Pump action is easy, pressure gauge is reliable, gets a great seal and you lose little-to-no air when you take the valve off. Had it for a year now, only used it prestas, but for me it's been great, best pump I've owned. Thinking about getting one of their portables if it can maintain the same seal as my floor pump.
Your brain is you, you should protect it.
I had a Nashbar floor pump. After 3 years the gauge stopped working. It was probably the cheapest one in the model line, the white one with red lettering. I decided to replace it with a Joe Blow Pro because I use a Topeak mini-pump away from home. I need a pump that does both Schraeder and Presta easily. I have no leaks from either the Topeak mini or Joe Blow Pro floor model single head designs. I agree with an earlier poster. There are no bests. Most bike shops use Park Tool Pumps and I'm sure they are pretty good. I didn't see them in this thread but I didn't read every post in great detail. I think if you are paying over $50 list for a floor pump you should be able to get something decent. I like the fact that the gauge on mine is up high so my aged eyes can see the numbers. That makes it vulnerable to falling over. And it does. Fall over. No matter what I do. Grrr.
The recent model Parks don't seem to get good reviews and the Rennkompressor looked great for a personal pump if you've got presta valves. I wasn't entirely comfortable with it for use among a wide variety of people with different valves.
The pump I got for the office (a Specialized) has a really big gauge that's on the floor.

If you're not riding with a psychedelic gecko on your shirt, you ARE having a substandard experience.
I'm a little disappointed with my Lezyne floor pump. I quite liked it when I first got it. However, now often when I try to pump, the handle drops all the way to the bottom with no resistance and without pushing any air. When I start, I kind of have to jerk it the handle down, and it takes a couple of attempts before it engages, and then it mostly works. It's like the plunger inside doesn't engage unless there's some pressure behind it. The problem seems to be getting worse with time. Little problems like this always make me worry, as I think it'll decide to fail completely at some inconvenient moment.

I like Lezyne products. Their customer service, however, is less than stellar.

Which frame pump have you got? I want to get one but am always wary of stated PSI abilities of frame pumps. Are you able to reach your desired level of pressure with your lezyne?
Your brain is you, you should protect it.
Alloy floor pump:
Carbon Road Drive:
Carbon mtb:
The frame pump works great, with just a few strokes I can get my tire pumped up to riding pressure. The ABS Speed Flex Hose, with the built-in gauge is fantastic--but it is Presta only.
My Lezyne light works fine but it was a little weak. (I had an earlier model.) Last summer I replaced it with a Light and Motion Urban 770 headlight; as the name implies it is rated at 770 lumens and it works great for my nighttime riding. This year they replaced the 770 model with a more power model, the Urban 800.
Like I wrote earlier, I love Lezyne products, they are well designed and well put together. The frame pump is the best I've ever used (and that includes my old Silca Imperial). Their customer service, however, is not so good.

IN regards to universal heads, I have been using my universal head Specialized pump for two years, I use it on my car, motorcycle and bicycles. Two bikes have Presta valves, one Schraeder, and of course the car and motorcycle are both Schraeder. I use the pump very often since i check my car's tires at least weekly and the motorcycle almost every time I ride it. I use the pump on the bikes at least a few times a month. The pump works just as it did when I bought it. No issues with either type of valve.
Installing Floor Pumps O-Rings - Lezyne
I couldn't get the tube off the base, but I took the top cap off, packed the o-ring with lithium grease (what I had on hand), and voilà, it's right as rain.
I have a Bontrager Recharge I bought used for $10. The head fits well on my Schreader valves, and I have no problems getting the tires to 110 psi.
I use a Bontrager TurboCharger HP, which works automatically with either Schrader or Presta valves without switching anything around. I have no trouble at all using mine on either valve type (I even use it to add air to my car tires now and then). The HP is designed to be easier to pump tires up to higher pressures, as it basically pumps about twice as much per stroke as the non-HP version due to the way the chamber is constructed.
I have one similar to this Silca. Last pump you'll need to buy because it lasts forever and if it does break or wear you buy spare parts easily.
But, for ease of use w/ presta and schrader, whatever pump you get would very likely be improved by a topeak smarthead retrofit
I've been using my Super Pista for over ten years and it's still working just fine. Always kept indoors it's never been greased and performs like it did when it was brand new. And I got mine from Lickton's Supply of Chicago, Lickbike.com.
Just got my Nashbar L'Orange in the mail over the weekend, and I love it. I'm about to go drop a positive review over at nashbar.com. Some people seemed to have issue that v2.0 presta/schraeder now uses a reversible connector rather than v1.0, but I like it. Chunky screw-out/flip/screw-in is quick&easy, no fiddling. Much better than previous systems I'd used where you have to unscrew a plastic cap, then fiddle out a rubber cylinder and pop it back in then the cap back on.
Im going to order this ..price is reasonable as well as shipping from UK......looks like great reviews EDIT shipping is pricey ..it would come out to around 60 US

Actually, this thread made me just click a button at Amazon to have someone send me a Lezyne Alloy Floor Pump for $59.95 (might have nabbed the last one at this price). We'll see how that works out. And Joe Blow is getting a ride back to REI, who may or may not have a 1 year 100% Satisfaction Guarantee (I'll find out when I get there, because the unlimited warranty under which I bought some REI-branded Raichle boots with the malevolently engineered, evaporative EVA soles turned out to be absolute bulls***t presented to me with a smirk and a "beat it" tone of voice.)

Maybe it's just me, but something seems hinky at NYTimes.com. Well, not just them; I haven't caught a single mention of Sean Hoare's conveniently timed death in the American media.
Anyway, a picture is worth a thousand words:
Re-he-heally? Okay, how about today?
Weird, huh? Now, yes, if you click "Past 7 days" you get some results. You also get some results if you try the first two searches for "Sean Hoare death", but not "Sean Hoare dead", even though most of the search results use the word "dead" and not "death".
Whatever, I'm probably just picking on an algorithm. But let's take a look at the actual hits we get.
All but one come from The Lede, not the NYT proper. Hmm. Speaking of The Lede, here's what's really fucked up. Check out the lone mention of Hoare's death in the NYT:
"Opponents Seize on Cameron's Ties to Suspects"
Yeah, I mean, the star witness turning up dead is a minor detail, hardly worthy of a headline. In fact, it didn't even end up above the fold.
A version of this article appeared in print on July 19, 2011, on page A1 of the New York edition with the headline: Tabloid Uproar Forces Cameron To Shorten Trip.
You have to read down 7 paragraphs before you find this:
The parade of casualties from the scandal continued to lengthen one day after the head of Scotland Yard resigned, when one of his deputies, John Yates, also stepped down. The investigation also took a grim turn when Sean Hoare, a former reporter in his mid-40s who was the first to say publicly that Mr. Coulson was aware of the widespread "phone hacking" at News of the World when he was the paper's editor, was found dead in his north London home. The police said they did not initially regard the death as suspicious.
Mr. Hoare's interview implicating Mr. Coulson in a New York Times magazine article last fall was one of the factors, the police have said, that prompted them to reopen an investigation into The News of the World after the probe had brought convictions and jail sentences for two men then faltered, with Scotland Yard officers saying there was nothing more to pursue.
(Emphasis mine. Quite the refrain, eh? Wait, were these the same 'officers' who just resigned for taking bribes? I wonder...)
That's it. Bleedin' but not leadin'. Presumably, this is the last time the NYT will ever mention the late Sean Hoare, seeing as this happened frickin' yesterday and it's already a footnote.
One question, though: why?
too close to their cronies' home?
I would adore seeing what slime is turned up here with a simple, honest investigation. I jest of course...about a "simple, honest, investigation".
Sean Hoare may or may not have been telling the truth about Coulson, but he would never have been called as a witness because of major credibility problems due to his well-known chemical dependency problems. He probably got some of his best tips as a reporter in AA meetings or rehab.
If someone wanted him dead, they could have done it with with a bottle of whisky and a couple of baggies left on his doorstep.
The Guardian has been digging into this for months and developed their own sources. If there were anything suspicious about the death, they will dig it out.
The police probably had his address tagged for multiple ODs, and wouldn't be suspicious. The medical examiner has to tell the public what happened.
He might have been annoying, but he wasn't a serious threat to anyone other than himself.
The New York Times didn't do a very thorough background check, or they wouldn't have used what he said without a lot of legalize appended.
In another twist, a former reporter at the News of the World who early on accused Coulson of knowing about phone-hacking at the paper, apparently died at his home in Watford. Police said the death of a man identified by British media as Sean Hoare, who was quoted extensively in a New York Times Magazine piece on the hacking scandal last September, was "unexplained, but not thought to be suspicious."
Given Hoare's well known drug problems, it would have been easy for a News Corp operative to give him slightly too much or slightly too pure of whatever it was the he used. It would kill him, but would not look like a poisoning.
The point would be to make an example of Hoare, to show laid off News of the Word employees what happens to whistle blowers.
See this comment by Yves. Which doesn't mean it couldn't be foul play, but does make it more understandable - at least to me - that his death is not automatically suspicious. Not that the Met has earned much confidence these days.

More about Tajikistan and IMON International
Tajikistan is perhaps best known for its rich history, which includes a key post along the Silk Road; the end of Alexander the Great's rule; and with its famous great thinkers, philosophers, scientists and poets as: Rudaki, Ibn Sina (Avicenna), Firdousi, Omar Haiyam, Jomi, Mavlavi Rumi and many others. The country is home to communities that still speak the ancient Sogdian language, epic mountain passes, and a civilization that dates back to the 4th millennium BC. And, even today, it is a complex mixture of the Islamic faith, Soviet culture, New West culture and Central Asian traditions.
But, Tajikistan is also the poorest of the former Soviet republics. The civil war, which ignited soon after its independence from the U.S.S.R., further damaged the already weak economy. In addition, 93% of the country is mountainous and only 7% of the land is arable. These conditions have resulted in high levels of unemployment and have forced hundreds of thousands to seek work in other countries, mainly Russia. While the people of Tajikistan are working to improve its agricultural production and manufacturing sector, nearly two-thirds of the population still live in abject poverty.
IMON's History
Since December 2007, IMON International has worked closely with Kiva and Kiva lenders to ensure that poor and low income clients represent a viable business proposition. Funds raised through Kiva have already been distributed to thousands of IMON International's clients and will continue to provide thousands more with permanent access to the varied financial services they need.

Albacara: "And what a view it was" Ronda Restaurant Tip by karenincalifornia
Ronda Restaurants: 33 reviews and 35 photos
And did we find that sought after restaurant with a view in Ronda? You bet your booty we did. Exactly what we were after. It was Albacara. Not only did they have a view, they had an outdoor terrace, and the weather was perfect. See the additional photos attached to this tip for the fabulous views we had while we were eating.
Favorite Dish: Oxtail stew is a regional specialty, so that's what my son and husband ordered. They said it was excellent. This was one of those memorable meals for them. They now want me to make it at home, but I'm just not sure where I'll find the ox tails.
I had my usual - Andalusian gazpacho, and it was very good. I highly recommend this restaurant.

Glad to hear you are recovering, Tom. May the healing powers of Foo continue to aid in getting you all better.
Glad to hear you are a candidiate for the defib. A dear friend of mine had one put in after a major fibrilation event (big-time scary, he should have died and it is still not at all clear why he didn't). About a year later, he was in a sandwich shop and felt another fibrilation coming on. About the time he realized he was in deep shiznit, WHAM, the defib did its thing. Saved his life. That was more than five years ago, and it hasn't happened again, thank goodness, but I, for one, am damn glad he has the defib. And I'm damn glad you're getting one. From what you described, it's the best piece of prevention I can think of for you and Mrs. Stormcrowe.
Here's to many more years.
"I'm in shape -- round is a shape." Andy Rooney
Still in recovery mode today. I'm still weak and tired, and still in A-Fib. It's going to be a month or so on Heparin to make sure I don't throw a clot before they cardiovert me and try to restore normal sinus rhythm in the ol' ticker. If a clot leaves the Atrium, there's only one destination.......the brain. So, while the Atrial Arrhythmia won't kill me, there are still some risks for me of a stroke. Again, no posts about this on my facebook page, please....my Mom reads that.
As a good point, my blood chemistry is thinned enough that a clot is unlikely as of this point, and the risk is getting lower every day. Now all I have to do is recover the strength and stamina, and that won't improve a lot until I get the rhythm back to normal. We're still looking at a pacemaker, as well. I'm still being assessed as to whether it will have good efficacy for me and won't know about that for a bit yet..

We need to compare notes,Tom. I will be getting a consult in two weeks where I expect they will recommend a defib. In the meantime, my last echo revealed that I have a clot as well. So far, I have talked them out of Coumadin because I am on daily aspirin and plavix.
My friends are requesting a remote control for the defib. They seem to think giving me a good shock would be great for parties.
Tom, it's great to hear you're doing better with each passing day
I hope the recovery goes quickly!

A new report from the Bipartisan Policy Center found that seniors may be among the first harmed if the debt ceiling isn't raised. The center studied Treasury Department receipts and expenditures for August 2009 and 2010 and determined that the government likely would not have enough revenue to pay the full $23 billion payment to Social Security recipients due Aug. 3. On that day, according to the analysis, the government would take in about $12 billion in revenue but would owe $32 billion, creating a $20 billion shortfall. It happens to be the first Wednesday of the month — the day a majority of Social Security recipients get their checks.
An immediate 44 percent cut in government spending, which is what would be necessary if the debt ceiling isn't raised, is going to adversely affect large and important government programs. As the center wrote, if the debt limit isn't increased, "handling all payments for important and popular programs (e.g., Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid, Defense, active-duty pay) will quickly become impossible." At the moment, the GOP has blown up negotiations over raising the debt ceiling in order to protect the rich and oil companies from tax increases, and to preserve corporate tax accounting gimmicks.

Simply put, despite my best efforts to reign in the monster, the Toolemera Web site, heretofore known as The Museum (largely because when I called it Free Stuff there was the occasional request for Free Stuff) has become so large that when anything is added, subtracted or changed, the corrected upload is messing up.
I've checked the images, checked the CSS, checked the fonts and checked the checks. It's time to go the route of spliting some parts off into sub-domains with redirects. I've held off as this is a royal you-know-what to do with a large site but that time has come.
Before taking the plunge, I promise to fix the last fixes and upload the three donated files that have been waiting to be set free: 2 Keystone Glue Company booklets and one Marples catalog from the early part of the 20th century. I have to fiddle some problematic CSS first to get everything to behave and then, by next week, all will go live.
Then, by the end of July, splitsville. Which parts will split, how and when will, hopefully, be relatively transparent. Some links may go the way of all things for which I am truly sorry.
Till next, Gary

"Warrior," a drama about mixed-
martial-arts fighting, is about as subtle as a body slam.
It has two feuding brothers — they make Cain and Abel seem as chummy as Yogi and Boo Boo — taking it to the ring. It has a teary, formerly alcoholic dad/ trainer. It has a boo-hiss Russian villain built as solid as the Kremlin. The movie's also about as manipulative as they come.
Tom Hardy ("Layer Cake," "Inception") is brooding Tom Conlon, a troubled war vet and pit bull of a man who returns home to Pittsburgh to train for mixed-martial-arts matches with his former boxing-coach dad (Nick Nolte).
But he's no prodigal son. Tom has neither forgiven his father nor his estranged brother Brendan (Joel Edgerton, "Animal Kingdom") for not being there when his mother was ill and dying. He hasn't spoken to his brother in years.
Brendan, meanwhile, is a down-on-his-luck Philadelphia high school teacher who's about to have the home he shares with his wife (Jennifer Morrison) and two daughters foreclosed on.
So he returns to his former career as a low-level MMA fighter for some extra cash.
Edgerton is convincing as both a suburban dad and a fighter trying to reclaim past glories.
One of the movie's most striking and moving scenes takes place outside the ring, when Tom nearly wordlessly has to comfort his dad while he is having a breakdown.
Watching this, it's tough to believe that Brit Hardy and Aussie Edgerton aren't two working-class stiffs from Pennsylvania with hard-scrabble pasts and uncertain futures.
"Warrior" is going to make both of them stars.
"Warrior" stars Tom Hardy, Joel Edgerton and Nick Nolte. It's rated PG-13 for sequences of intense mixed-martial arts fighting, some strong language and thematic material.
