Hello everybody.
This is my 1st post in this section where I will be posting for at least 2 years (if things don't improve ).
So I am a 242 pounds(110 kg) down from 300 pounds (136Kg) bike rider and folder owner. I have some problems with my folder due to the fact that it is built for 105 kg. Actually my back wheel spokes are causing flats whenever I ride it .. like every 200m .. that's why I switched back to my MTB. I had several broken spokes and these are very difficult to find (ask any Dahon owner).
The folder is a Dahon D7HG the 2008 model. I actually like how it feels and it is faster then my MTB.
As I am loosing weight I hope to be able to ride it again in 1 month but I do not want to destroy the wheel.
What is your advice ?

Great program! I've close a lot of deals with this one. The home has to be in Really good shape and seller willing to do any repairs that the inspection might cite as "not passing". Thoe have to be done before closing.
Hope this helps. I would recommend you start looking for homes in January-February of 2013 so you can be assured to close by April. HUD owned homes take longer is you pick one of thoes. They do have the $100 down payment for the purchase of their FHA insurable homes. Great way to buy and receive a good deal.

Iran state television says the powerful Revolutionary Guard has fired one of the longest-range missiles in its arsenal.
The third round of tests is meant to demonstrate the country's preparedness for an attack.
English-language Press TV said the Guard successfully tested the Shahab-3 missile, which is capable of carrying a warhead. It has a range of up to 1,200 miles, capable of striking Israel and U.S. Mideast bases and parts of Europe.
State television said Iran test-fired Shahab-1 and Shahab-2 missiles overnight, following tests of short-range missiles early Sunday. The Shahab-1 and Shahab-2 have ranges of about 185 miles and 435 miles, respectively.

Rumor has it there's going to be a big "pre black Friday" sale in select Radio Shack stores this Saturday. The guy I spoke to in the store a few nights ago said that many of the high-end smartphones will be FREE with new and extended service plan agreements (in store only).
Has anyone on here gone through Radio Shack for their phones/plans? If so, was it a good experience?
My wife and I are looking to upgrade to a smart phone soon and I'm trying to figure out if there is any downside going through Radio Shack.
-- Thanks Coach Paul Rhoads. --
I've used Best Buy and it was totally fine. I imagine Radio Shack would be the same.

Mophie Juice Pack Plus for iPhone 4 and 4S now available at Apple
The iPhone is a great smartphone, but the battery is definitely lacking in heavier usage scenarios. It's sealed into the chassis too, so you're pretty much stuck if you run out of juice in the middle of the day without a charger to hand. Mophie has been making battery cases to remedy such situations for a time, with its latest Juice Pack Plus model now available for the iPhone 4 and 4S at Apple, in retails stores as well as online.

World War II Prisoner Of War PC Game(djDEVASTATE™) (Size: 749.86 MB)
Second World War. You are an American pilot, Captain Lewis Stone, who is thrown into a prison camp of the Nazis. While attempting to escape the camp, Captain Stone discovers about a secret weapon the Germans are developing to use against the Allies. Soon his personal wish of escape turns into a desire to save the world from the destruction the Nazis are planning.
"Prisoner of War" could be best described as a sneaking game. Unlike other well-known games which feature the sneaking element - such as "Metal Gear Solid 2" or "Deus Ex" - "Prisoner of War" is based on it entirely. You are helpless in the prison camp and your only weapon is your wit. Sneak past guards to deliver an important object to a fellow prisoner, hide items in your clothes, stay in shadows to avoid being recognized - this is what the game is about. It also has a good deal of puzzle-solving, like in a traditional adventure.

Hendersonville girls soccer earns big league win
Published: Friday, March 22, 2013 at 10:24 p.m.
Last Modified: Friday, March 22, 2013 at 10:24 p.m.
The Hendersonville Lady Bearcat soccer squad remained undefeated in the Western Highlands Conference this season, edging out the previously-undefeated Thomas Jefferson Lady Gryphons 1-0 at Dietz Field on Friday night.
"The girls stepped up tonight. I can't really ask for more in a close game. Thomas Jefferson is a very good team," said Lady Bearcat head coach Freddy Oviedo.
Julia Michels set the tone defensively for the Lady Bearcats (7-1, 5-0 Western Highlands Conference) with a nice defensive play and clear stopping an early Lady Gryphon rush in the fifth minute of the first half.
"Julia and Kelsie Wallace controlled the defensive zone for us and were aggressive clearing our zone," said Oviedo.
The Lady Bearcats were looking to get on the scoreboard early, with Alison Hafner and Marietta Melendez pressuring the Lady Gryphons and nearly scoring in the 10th, 11th and 16th minutes of the first half.
"Our finishing was not really on tonight. We should have scored one or two more goals," said Oviedo.
Savanna Tinsley popped loose behind the Lady Gryphon defense in the 19th minute and buried a free kick from Michels into the right side of the net with the eventual game-winning goal and a 1-0 Lady Bearcat lead.
At the 21st minute of the first half, keeper Madison Gold made on nice save on a Lady Gryphon rush to keep the 1-0 lead intact.
Throughout the second half, the Lady Bearcat defense continued to play well as they withstood several Lady Gryphon scoring opportunities, with Michels and Wallace controlling their zone and a solid goalkeeping behind them by Gold.
A Lady Gryphon free kick that would have tied the game, from about 20 yards out front of the Lady Bearcats net, sailed high over the crossbar in the 27th minute mark.
The Lady Bearcats play host to the Lady Trailblazers on Wednesday night at Dietz Field.

"San Rocco in Turrite" San Rocco by Sanrocco
San Rocco Travel Guide: 2 reviews and 6 photos
San Rocco in Turrite in the Province of Lucca, Italy, is a hidden gem nestling in deep forested hills close to the Alpi Apuane National Park. Retaining the charm of a small unspoilt village, it offers the traveller a haven of peace and tranquility. Not easy to find but well worth seeking out is the family run restaurant of Al Colletto, which provides traditional and authentic family cooking, including delicious tagliattelle ragu, and mushroom risotto using locally sourced mushrooms (from a secret location known only to the proprietor). the restaurant is open 6 days a week (closed on Tuesdays) and also doubles as the village shop.
If you are looking to escape from the stresses of life and want a quiet place to relax and unwind, then the area of San Rocco in Turrite is for you.
For people who enjoy walking a great place to start would be from the hostel at Alta Matana in the Alpi Apuane National Park. There are several walks from this point, with varying degrees of difficulty and, providing you have a good pair of walking boots and a moderate level of fitness, can be a really enjoyable and invigorating experience. The views are very well worth the effort.
The peace and tranquility of the Alpi Apuane region connects the traveller to the natural world, where mountain trails invite you to enjoy fragrant meadow flowers and wild herbs, and marvel at the butterflies and birds. Hillside sounds of bleating goats and sheep, cow bells and wild horses, give way to the strangely silent , earthy woodland walks. Heaven on earth.........
- Pros:Peace and Tranquility
- Cons:Not for those seeking night life
- In a nutshell:An unspoilt hidden gem

Yeah, and I'd prefer small teases anyway. If they reveal a couple of Pokémon and new information every so often it will keep fans excited and avidly speculating about what's to come. If they give us heaps of info so soon, the excitement will die a bit over the summertime.

Gorenje signed a license agreement with Apple for the use of their technology in Gorenje refrigerators. Resulting from this cooperation, a unique combination of the iPod device and Gorenje fridge freezer was developed, offering the best of both. The license also includes the use of Apple logo "Made for iPod". This innovative – previously unseen – combination that made its debut at the world's largest consumer electronics fair IFA 2008 in Berlin is yet another result of Gorenje's fruitful innovation. The new project is intended to bring the use of household appliances closer to the contemporary consumer and show how modern information technology can make their use both simple and fun – just the way the user of tomorrow wants them.
Unique combination of electronic entertainment device – the cult iPod touch – and a modern fridge freezer from Gorenje opens up new dimensions of living, fun, cuisine, and household tasks. Specially designed and developed Gorenje fridge features a docking station that enables charging the iPod, playing back music and video through built-in speakers, and connecting to the world-wide-web, if wireless connection is available in the kitchen. iPod has conquered the world, and new Gorenje appliances with interactive functions are conquering contemporary kitchens as they anticipate and set new trends.
The revolutionary wi-fi interface for touch control, paired with the world's most popular music playback device, enables searching, browsing, or downloading contents from the internet, and enjoying music, TV shows, movies, or video podcasts. The combination of the cult playback device and refrigerator thus extends the pleasures offered by each of them. The sound is played back through built-in speakers, while video is displayed on the iPod screen. Wireless internet connectivity complements the functionality of the high-tech refrigerator as various household tasks and appliance operation becomes simpler and above all, more fun. The users can browse and display recipes in text or video format, check the instructions for washing the clothes or – in addition to their favorite music – listen to tips related to household tasks. Gorenje also launched the development of a web portal iGorenje which will offer various contents related to cooking and other household tasks. The portal will be optimized for display on the iPod touch and other mobile devices.
"Made for iPod" means that an electronic accessory has been designed to connect specifically to iPod and has been certified by the developer to meet Apple performance standards. Apple is not responsible for the operation of this device or its compliance with safety and regulatory standards. iPod is a trademark of Apple Inc., registered in the U.S. and other countries.

It was a semi-white Christmas weekend for residents in the big bend area as snow flurries fell from the sky today (12-26).
Folks bundled up in layers of clothing to stay warm as the temperatures remained pretty chilly - in the mid 30's throughout the day.
The tiny flurries melted as soon as they touched the ground, but folks were overjoyed to see snow in Florida.
"It's pretty nice actually, it's kind of a rarity to get the snow flurries out here, like, I think the last time I saw some was probably like a few years ago," said Nicholas Lynn.
"I have always lived in Florida, I have experienced snow a couple of times in my life, but this has been unbelievable. It's been a great Christmas experience, I was supposed to go to the beach for Christmas this year, and I missed that, so this was a great exchange," said Rebecca Johnson.

The IUCN Species Survival Commission (SSC) Polar Bear Specialist Group (PBSG) is concerned about the Government of Nunavut's recent decision not to support the proposed listing of polar bears as a Species of Special Concern under Canada's Species At Risk Act. In justifying this position, the Government of Nunavut stated that Inuit knowledge and science corroborate that polar bears in Nunavut are "thriving" and "will adapt to changing and severe climatic conditions". The PBSG believes this position is contrary to all available evidence, and will not lead to the best possible conservation of the species. …

Biography Matters: Why Historians Need
Well-Crafted Biographies More than Ever
Shirley A. Leckie
In September 1999, Stanley Fish, dean of the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences at the University of Illinois—Chicago, attacked modern biography as "Minutiae without Meaning" in the New York Times. It had fallen into this sorry state, he maintained, because the old "master narrative models" had lost their meaning for contemporary readers. These included "the providential model, " based on the idea that humans, tainted by original sin, inevitably repeat the failings of Adam and Eve, and the "wheel of fortune model, " which sees cycles of luck and misfortune as determining life's outcome. Hence, modern biographers furiously collect details and then "invent or fabricate a meaning, " based on their "favorite hobby horse, " to hold their narratives together. But, in reality, Fish argued, they are "left with little more than a collection of random incidents, and the only truth being told is the truth of contingency, of events succeeding one another in a universe of accident and chance." 1
Since "cause and effect" remains the biographers' "stock in trade, " Fish accused modern biographers of imposing on their work their own contrived "explanatory structure." 2 In the end, he concluded, every biography is actually autobiographical, but rather than revealing that fact to their reading audience, as true autobiographers do, they "can only get it wrong, can only lie, can only substitute their own story for the story of their announced subject." Such chicanery renders the medium "a bad

might not find a home in the marketplace and bringing them to a broader
audience," said Freccero in a prepared statement. "The launch of the
Sundance Channel Home Entertainment video line is consistent with the
overall mission of Sundance Channel. In today's highly competitive film
marketplace, there are many outstanding independent films that have limited,
if any, theatrical life. Bringing these films to video/DVD means new
opportunities for filmmakers and audiences."
The first two titles anticipated for release in Fall 2002 will be Billy

10 Rules of Super Productive People
10 Rules of Super Productive People is about the 10 underlying tenets of productivity that differentiate the super productive people from less productive people. If you want to know how to be more productive, how to stop procrastinating, and how to do more in less time, this book is for you!
At 259 pages long, I consider this to be anyone's one-stop manual to achieve super productivity:
- High-level productivity strategies. Many productivity blogs/books talk about productivity "hacks" like installing website blockers and timing yourself with alarm clocks. While useful, these are low-level "hacks" to create a minute change in your productivity — not changes that will dramatically transform your life. What you need to make a monumental change in your life isn't low-level tips, but high-level productivity strategies. I've filled Super Productive People with transformational high-level strategies in productivity that will make permanent and deep-rooted changes not just in your productivity, but also your life.
- Practical how-to's and advice. From relatable examples, to practical tips, to step-by-step exercises, this book is chock full of tips that anyone, from a college student, to a corporate executive, to an aspiring entrepreneur, to a grandma can immediately apply. I've written this book to be easily understandable, practical, and transformational at the same time.
- The result of years of personal development. Having been a Dean's Lister, the top Marketing student in NUS Business School (one of the top business schools in Asia Pacific), a corporate employee in a Fortune 100 firm, a multi-tasking business owner, the owner of one of the top personal development blogs in the world, and one of the Top 30 Coaches in the World who has coached many to greater success, I've learned much about productivity in my life. This book packs my best advice on personal productivity so that you can achieve similar (if not greater) results for yourself.
- Applicable for everyone. Whether you are a business owner, a corporate employee, a busy parent, an aspiring entrepreneur, or a student who wishes to get more out of your days, there's something in this book for you. Likewise, regardless of whether you are a heavy procrastinator or a high-speed multi-tasker, there's something for you here too. This book is about the universal principles of productivity that anyone can apply at any stage of their life to supercharge their productivity. No matter how productive you are already, there is always room to be better and to supercharge your life.
- Timeless advice. As with my articles at PE, I've written this book to be timeless. This means that no matter when you are reading this — be it now, five years later, or 20 years later — or which phase of life you're in, the advice will still apply.
By applying the principles in the book to a tee, I guarantee that you will increase your productivity at least 10- to 20-fold, if not more.

This invention relates to dispensing apparatus and more particularly to dispensing apparatus for use in dispensing powdery materials which are to be entrained in a gas stream.
The dispensing of powdery materials from a storage container for entrainment in a gas stream, for example, for spraying on to a substrate, can generally be achieved by simple techniques which are well known to the art. For example, in the field of powder coatings where the powder is to be applied by spraying, the powder is stored in a hopper and the contents are made flowable or fluidized by means of air which enters the hopper at its base and forces its way up through the mass of powder. When conditions are optimized, the powder will behave as a fluid which can then be pumped from the hopper by any convenient means. Any tendency of the powdery materials to stick together and not fluidize efficiently can be overcome by using dry fluidizing gases.
This method works well for powdery materials which are not especially hygroscopic (most coating powders fall into this category) but not so well for materials which are appreciably hygroscopic. A recent example of such a powder is sodium diacetate which is proposed to be sprayed on to non-frozen meat to preserve it- this is described in pending PCT published application WO 90/03118. The dispensing apparatus described hereinabove for use with powder coating does not work efficiently when hygroscopic materials are used. The prior art on the handling of hygroscopic materials is varied. It includes such apparatus as that of SU 961745 wherein there is described the use of a series of stirring vanes rotating in a horizontal plane in conjunction with an upward flow of drying air, and that of AU-A-4591/78 wherein a hopper containing hygroscopic material is constantly jarred to stop the material sticking together and to the walls of the hopper. However, neither of these solve the problem posed by the new technology of WO 90/03118, and a need exists for a simple apparatus which can be used without the need for dry gas or other facilities not normally present at meat works.
There has now been devised an apparatus for dispensing powdery materials which is especially useful in the dispensing of hygroscopic materials. There is therefore provided, according to the present invention, an apparatus adapted to dispense powdery materials such that they may be entrained in a gas stream, the apparatus comprising the following elements in combination:
(a) a receiving member for powdery material;
(b) at the bottom of this member, a container having two sets of vanes which are rotatable in a substantially horizontal plane about substantially vertical axes and which sets of vanes are arranged such that they are vertically disposed of each other, such that they are separated from each other by a horizontal partition and such that the areas swept by the two sets at least partially overlap when viewed in plan, the powdery material passing from the upper of the two sets of vanes to the lower set by means of at least one communication conduit in the horizontal partition whose total cross-sectional area lies substantially within the area swept by the upper set and is at most one quarter of that swept area; and
(c) beneath the lower set of vanes, a floor having at least one exit conduit through which the powdery material leaves the container, the total surface area of the exit conduit lying completely within the area swept by the lower set and being at most one quarter of that swept area, the exit conduit being so positioned in relation to the communication conduit that, when viewed in plan, there is no overlap of the cross-sectional areas thereof.
The receiving member may be any suitable member. Typically, it is a simple hopper of the type used for powder coatings, modified at the lower end to interface with the upper set of the two sets of vanes.
The container which is below this member has two sets of vanes which are vertically displaced from each other and are rotatable in a substantially horizontal plane about substantially vertical axes. Preferably the two sets of vanes share a common axis and more preferably they are rigidly mounted on a common shaft. The two sets of vanes sweep circular areas which must at least partially overlap when viewed in plan, but preferably overlap of one by the other is complete, and in the simplest case the sets of vanes are coaxial and of identical size.
The two sets of vanes are separated by a horizontal partition, the only communication possible between them being via at least one communication conduit. The upper set of vanes pushes the powdery material to the communication conduit through which it falls to the lower set of vanes. This communication conduit may be any convenient means which allows the powdery material to pass from the upper set of vanes to the lower set. It may be, for example, simply a hole or a re-entrant portion in a stationary separating plate which otherwise completely separates the two sets of vanes. It may also be a tube which has its commencement at the point where the powdery material leaves the upper vanes. The total cross-sectional area of the communication conduit or conduits (there may be more than one) should not exceed one-quarter of the total area swept by the upper set of vanes and it should lie substantially within that swept area. By "substantially" is meant that there may be small and insignificant areas which are unswept. For example, in the case where the conduit is provided by a re-entrant portion in a plate, the vanes, having to have some clearance in order to rotate, cannot possibly sweep the entire area, but the unswept area is insignificant.
The powdery material falls through to the lower set of vanes which push the material round to an exit conduit (again, there may be more than one) in a floor beneath the vanes. As is the case with the communication conduit, the total cross-sectional area of the exit conduit should not exceed one-quarter of the area swept by the lower set of vanes and should fall substantially within the swept area. It is a requirement of this invention that there should be no overlap of the areas of the conduits when viewed in plan. In a preferred embodiment, the entrance to the exit conduit is positioned on a line passing through both the axis of rotation of the lower set of vanes, and the perpendicular projection of the communication conduit on to a plane of the exit conduit.
The powdery material, having been moved to the exit conduit, may now be entrained in a gas (usually air) stream. This may be achieved by any convenient method. For example, the exit conduit may run directly into a gas stream and be entrained. However, in a preferred embodiment of the invention, the gas stream enters prior to the powdery material leaving the second set of vanes via the exit conduit. In this embodiment, there is provided either between the upper and lower sets of vanes or at the lower set of vanes a vent through which gas can enter from the outside. This vent is positioned adjacent to the entrance to the exit conduit and gas is either blown in or drawn in by means of suction through the exit conduit. The powdery material arriving at the exit conduit is therefore immediately forced therein and entrained.
While the apparatus as hereinabove described is adequate for most hygroscopic materials, very hygroscopic materials may need some breaking up prior to their arriving at the upper set of vanes. This can be done in a number of ways. One way is to equip the apparatus with at least one stirring blade which rotates in the receiving member about the rotational axis of the upper set of vanes. A preferred embodiment is to equip the apparatus with at least two blades or fingers, at least one of these being fixed, at least one other being rotatable about the rotational axis of the upper set of vanes, these being spaced vertically with a relatively narrow clearance between them. More preferably, there are two series of blades or fingers, one fixed and one rotatable, the blades or fingers of the two series being dispersed vertically with respect to each other such that fixed and rotating fingers alternate. It has been found that this is particularly effective at breaking up large lumps of material such as sodium diacetate.
The apparatus according to this invention has been found to be very useful for dispensing all kinds of powders. However it is particularly good for use in the entraining in gas streams of hygroscopic materials such as sodium diacetate. The quantity of powder entrained in a gas stream can readily be adjusted by regulating the rotational speed of the vanes. The invention therefore also provides a method of entraining a powdery material in a gas stream, comprising adding the powdery material to an apparatus as hereinabove described. The apparatus is useful for entraining powdery material which will be applied to a surface by electrostatic spraying. The apparatus can be used in conjunction with any suitable electrostatic spraying equipment. When hygroscopic powdery material (such as sodium diacetate) is to be sprayed, an especially suitable electrostatic spraying device for use in conjunction with the apparatus of this invention is a spray gun of the type described in Australian patent applications PJ 7231 and PK 2380 both in the name of the present applicant. The invention therefore also provides an electrostatic spray gun of the type described in the abovementioned copending patent applications.
The apparatus of this invention is especially useful in the meat preservation process disclosed in PCT Published Application WO 90/03118. The invention therefore also provides a method of preserving meat by spraying on to meat a powdery material which liberates acetic acid in the presence of moisture, the powdery material being entrained in a gas stream prior to spraying by means of an apparatus as hereinabove described.
The invention is now further described with reference to a preferred embodiment as depicted in the accompanying drawings.
FIG. 1 is a vertical cross-section of a preferred embodiment according to the invention.
FIG. 2 is a transverse cross-section along the line AA'.
FIG. 3 is a transverse cross-section along the line BB'.
A preferred apparatus basically comprises a stationary member generally designated as 1 and a rotatable member generally designated as 2. The stationary member comprises three major components which give it its external form, a hopper 3 of circular cross section which tapers downwardly, a body portion 4 which has the general form of a hollow cylinder open at its upper end and having a generally flat floor at its lower end, and a base plate 5. The hopper tapers until it is of the same diameter as the body portion and then assumes a cylindrical configuration. The hopper sits on top of the body portion and is located with respect thereto by means of a circumferential lip 6 which runs around the inner edge of that end of the hopper which meets the body portion, the lip being dimensioned such that it protrudes into and mates with the inner cylindrical surface of the body portion to any desired extent. The hopper and the body portion are held together by clamps (not shown). The body portion is in turn held to the base plate by bolts (not shown).
The lower section of the interior of the body portion is of uniformly reduced diameter such that there is defined a circumferential ledge 7. At one point on the upper (non-reduced) diameter interior there protrudes a key 8. Diametrically opposed to this key, there are the following features:
(a) near the bottom of the cylindrical wall of the body member, a port 9; and
(b) adjacent to this port and on the floor of the body member, an aperture 10 from which there leads downwardly a conduit 11.
Rising from the floor of the body portion is an axial cylindrical hollow protrusion 12, this being present for the positioning of the rotatable member as will hereinafter be described.
Within the body portion, there sits a stationary plate 13. This has the form of a ring whose outer diameter closely matches the non-reduced diameter of the interior of the body portion. When in position, it sits on the ledge 7. At one edge of the stationary plate is an arcuate re-entrant portion 14, this aligning with the key 8 when the stationary plate is in position. The key prevents the plate from rotating.
The base plate is pierced by an axially-located lower drive shaft 15 which runs in a bush 16 mounted in the base plate. This drive shaft co-operates with a coaxial upper drive shaft 17 which runs in bearings 18 which fit tightly within the cylindrical protrusion 12 of the body portion hereinabove mentioned. To this upper drive shaft is fitted a drive member 19, it being secured in place by a nut 20. This drive member is essentially a hollow member which extends from just above the cylindrical protrusion downwardly to just above the floor of the body portion where it terminates in a circumferential horizontal lip 21. The drive member has the form of a cylinder into the surface of which have been machined two identical sets of two mutually perpendicular flats, one flat being transversely wider than the other and both extending from the top of the drive member to the lip such that the drive member has a uniform cross section between these points. The two sets are orientated such that corresponding flats lie in parallel planes and face in opposite directions. This gives the drive member what are essentially two splines 22 which can communicate drive from upper drive shaft 17 to a co-operating member.
On this drive member are placed two rotors, an upper rotor 23 and a lower rotor 24, these being separated by a spacer 25. The rotors are essentially discs from whose edges extend a series of essentially radial vanes and each rotor has at its disc centre an orifice whose shape matches that of the drive member, thus allowing it to be driven positively and to be removed easily. The space, the drive member and the rotors are dimensioned such that the lower rotor is located just below the stationary plate 13 and the upper rotor just above it.
The upper shaft 17 continues upwardly of the securing nut 20 as a shaft of reduced diameter which terminates in a screw thread 26. This screw thread is the means for securing to the top of the rotatable member a conical member 27 which screws on to this thread and which is made such that it shrouds the shaft and top of the drive member, its open base making contact with the disc of the upper rotor all round the circumference of the base. To the conical member are fitted two series of diametrically opposed horizontal fingers 28 which almost reach the inner walls of the hopper 2. Protruding horizontally from these walls is a set of fingers 29 which nearly reach the conical member and which are disposed vertically so as to lie between the planes of rotation of adjacent fingers 28.
In operation, a material to be entrained in an air stream is fed into the hopper 3. The rotatable member is then caused to rotate. The material is broken up initially by the fingers 28 and 29- these are especially effective at breaking up large lumps. The material then passes to the upper rotor 23 where it is forced to move in the circle described by the vanes. When the material reaches the arcuate re-entrant portion 14, it falls through to the lower rotor 24 where it is again forced to move in a circle. When it reaches the conduit 11, it there encounters a high speed gas stream blowing through port 9 in the direction of conduit 11. This blows the material through the baseplate aperture 10 and into the conduit 11. From this point it may be entrained in a further gas stream, entering the conduit 11 downstream of the aperture 10, and may thus be carried to an application apparatus.
The gas used to entrain the material may be any suitable gas. It may, for example, be air or nitrogen. Where hygroscopic materials are used, the gas may be dry, but it is a particularly valuable feature of the invention that hygroscopic materials can be entrained without the need for the provision of very dry (and relatively expensive) gases.
The skilled person will be able to visualize many constructions and embodiments which vary from the particular construction hereinabove described but which fall within the scope of the invention. For example, a variety of constructions of the various components can be used, all of which would give good results. An embodiment which has been found useful when very hygroscopic powders are being used is a spring-loaded "flicking" device. This is generally pivotally mounted on a horizontal member protruding from the inner surface of the hopper 3 and it hangs vertically into the arcuate re-entrant portion 14 of the plate 12 and through the vanes of upper rotor 23. A spring seeks to maintain the flicking device in a vertical position. Thus, as the rotor turns, the flicking device is forced to pivot with the vanes against the force of the spring until the end of the flicking device reaches the top of the vane forcing it to move, at which point the spring forces it to "flick" back. This helps keep the sticky hygroscopic powder moving.
