Biden is famous for his fabrications. Like how Republicans want to push old grandma off a cliff, starve children and force old people to eat dog food! Only the weak minded fall for it!

Trust and Expectations
By Cliff Korn, BS, LMT, NCTMB
By now, you have probably already read this issue's top story outlining assertions of wrongdoing in the National Certification Board for Therapeutic Massage and Bodywork's (NCBTMB) election process.The news of this possible wrongdoing pains me; the situation is needless and is potentially evidence of a betrayal of trust by one of the most powerful and influential organizations in the massage therapy profession.
I know it also pains the volunteers who serve on the board and committees of the NCBTMB. Their organizational culture is not one that enjoys or allows much airing of dirty laundry; however, initial fact-finding indicates that Elizabeth McIntyre's complaint contains a certain amount of credibility since the NCBTMB's documented bylaws and policies have been vague in defining criteria.
In a nutshell, McIntyre maintains that although she is currently a sitting member on the Board of Directors (BOD), the NCBTMB nomination committee advised her that she does "not meet the current criteria for consideration" to run for a second term. According to McIntyre, this incident suggests that the NCB's nominations process is not fair or equitable, and further asserts that personal differences within the BOD affect the election process and that a "power play to control the BOD and the ballot process is occurring." If McIntyre's assertions ultimately prove accurate, the NCBTMB has exhibited an egregious breach of trust in the community it serves and will have outlived its useful life.
Of all the entities in our profession, the NCBTMB has long touted the highest of ideals and standards. Its statement of organizational purpose - its entire reason for being - is to foster high standards of ethical and professional practice in the delivery of services through a recognized, credible credentialing program that assures the competency of practitioners of therapeutic massage and bodywork. If the NCBTMB is indeed stacking the deck and manipulating the elections process to ensure a skewed result in populating its BOD, then it is the worst violator of its own standards. A grand house on a crumbling foundation cannot be expected to stand for long.
I am pleased that the NCBTMB took McIntyre's complaints seriously and investigated them. To the best of my knowledge, the NCBTMB nominating committee does not have substantial criteria to review for anyone desiring to run for the BOD. NCBTMB Bylaws state only that "Members of the Board of Directors, except for the public member, must: 1) be Nationally Certified in Therapeutic Massage and Bodywork (NCTMB), 2) have a minimum of three (3) years experience in the profession of therapeutic massage and bodywork, and 3) be in good standing with the NCBTMB." Period, exclamation point - that's it.
Unless there is a secret document in a safe somewhere, to my knowledge, the above passage is the sum and substance of qualifications for someone to sit on the BOD. It is also the only criteria mentioned in NCB's Articles of Incorporation, Bylaws, or Policies and Procedures. Without some clearly defined hurdles for prospective board candidates to clear, it is unfathomable to me that a nominating committee would find a sitting board member who has not been censured or sanctioned unqualified for re-election. Is the NCBTMB suggesting that it made grave errors in the past by letting McIntyre "slip through by mistake" and can correct that mistake by pulling her name from the ballot now? Does the NCBTMB think the certificant base is too stupid to realize that there might be better candidates for the position than an incumbent? Either suggestion makes me shudder.
As saddened as I am by this story, I am equally saddened by what has not been affirmed in all of this. I know many of the NCBTMB volunteers personally; I know them to be decent, honorable hardworking people doing their best to do right by the profession and the public. I also know that, contrary to McIntyre's allegations, the NCBTMB Board of Directors has no interfering capabilities in the nominating process or a desire to do so. The committee who reviewed the candidate's applications worked autonomously from the BOD. I know because I "lived in that house!"
I have chaired NCB committees, served as a director, and ultimately served as a chairman of the BOD. I know the culture; I know the effort those individuals expend on our behalf to make our profession the best it can be. I remember the untold hours I spent as chair of that organization dispelling myths about the NCBTMB. It is easy to suspect the NCB of myriad faults. It is a private, nonprofit, tax-exempt, autonomous, voluntary credentialing organization and as such, it doesn't have "members," or need to answer to or provide answers to massage therapists as a whole. I feel that the NCB has frequently accepted poor advice from its advisors and has chosen to use "legalspeak" to avoid real answers to real questions by real massage therapists. Coupled with a history of poor customer service, the NCB became an easy target for distrust. Those who choose to look, however, will find that the intent - if not the results - has always been for the highest good. I have personally never been more proud of any activities than those I did in support of the NCBTMB's goals.
The NCB certainly has not asked for my opinion of what to do about the situation it finds itself in now, but as I understand it, its recent problem-solving actions have gone a long way to ensuring that similar election questions are no longer raised. For one, it is in the process of completely revamping the entire election process from the bottom up. Giving McIntyre another chance to get on the ballot seems like a good first step to problem resolution. Developing real qualifications and criteria in policy that is made public is another step. If McIntyre's name is ultimately put on the ballot, it is then the responsibility of every eligible voter to determine if someone who took an internal matter and made it public while also campaigning for public support (an activity prohibited by NCB policy), can actually serve as an effective member of the team. I think not.
The NCBTMB has well over 80,000 certificants. A large majority of states regulating massage utilize the National Certification Examination (NCE). While it is technically a voluntary credentialing organization, the fact that many states require the NCE makes dealing with the NCBTMB an involuntary requirement. The NCBTMB arguably impacts more massage therapists than any other entity in our history. As such, the expectations are that the high ethics and standards espoused by the NCBTMB are reflections of how it functions internally. If it is it to remain in a position of authority and influence, the NCBTMB must earn the right to do so and accept the needs of the profession - not determine, then dictate them while breaking the rules it has set for itself.
The fact that it has recognized its systematic shortcomings and is actively arranging to revamp its systems to earn public trust, shows that NCBTMB's lofty ideals have not disappeared. McIntyre will get another shot at having her name on the ballot, as will all others who were previously reviewed by the NCBTMB's nominating committee. Hopefully, the form-letter language will be modified so that rejected candidates will understand that there were other, more qualified candidates to choose from, not that they didn't meet ambiguous selection criteria.
One of my favorite "curmudgeons" said recently, "In the absence of sufficient supportive information, the human brain will nevertheless construct meaning." I hope I have not fallen into that trap in my observations here. Scandal is a terrible thing for everyone, and this one certainly gets in the way of much of the good that the NCBTMB has done for the profession. If the NCBTMB satisfactorily exorcises this demon, I feel it deserves our support in fulfilling its ideals. If it chooses not to or fails to do so for other reasons, it will have not regained our trust and will likely wither and die.
Thanks for listening!

We have seen our fair share of desktop toys that come in the form of USB-powered missile launchers, where foam missiles are sent in the direction of your annoying colleagues. Trust the Japanese to come up with something ever zanier – this unique USB-powered desktop toy that comes with a quartet of "guns", where you can always have a pack of beans ready nearby as ammunition. This is far more hygienic compared to shooting peas from a sturdy plastic straw as there is no saliva that gets involved, and you can use the included software to take aim. Compressed air will make sure the beans stay in place, and you adjust the firing angle from the device's camera on your computer monitor.
So far, the range has been tested to be around 5 meters thereabouts, and you can always mute the computer to get rid of the firing sound as well as audible warnings. Needless to say, the heavier the bean, the shorter the range, not to mention gravity having a say in the bean's travel arc. The office cleaning lady is definitely not going to be too happy with the floor if everyone in the office has one of these, and you engage in a free-for-all. [Translated Page]

Topic: Shade Tolerant
Title: Plants to control erosion in shade in California
Answered by: Barbara Medford
QUESTION:I need plants that will help prevent soil erosion on a sloping area under a wood fence. The area has filtered light. thank you!
The best plants for erosion control are always native grasses. They have fibrous roots that will grip and hold the soil, and usually hold their places year-round. The only problem could be that you have "filtered" light. We are going to assume that means shade, which we consider to be sun for 2 hours or less a day. Most of the recommended grasses native to California are looking for full sun, which is 6 or more hours of sun a day. However, we did find 4 grasses that fit the bill, and another that, while not native to California, should do fine there. If you don't want grasses, we have a suggestion for a vine that can work as a groundcover, and two low groundcovers. These would not necessarily be as effective as grasses in controlling erosion, but would certainly help. We put those in because you mentioned the sloping area being beneath a wood fence, and you might need something low there.
Read our webpage on each plant, and follow the link at the bottom of the webpage to Google more information about the plant. If you find some that you think will work for you, go to our Native Plant Suppliers section, type in your town and state in the "Enter Search Location" and you will get a list of native plant nurseries, seed suppliers and landscape consultants in your general area.
Danthonia californica (California oatgrass) - to 1-1/2 ft. tall. Pictures

Bouteloua curtipendula (sideoats grama) - 2 to 3 ft. tall
Chasmanthium latifolium (Inland sea oats) - 2 to 4 ft. tall
Parthenocissus quinquefolia (Virginia creeper) - can creep or climb, is listed as deciduous, but should be semi-evergreen in your area
Dichondra carolinensis (Carolina ponysfoot) - low growing groundcover

Lyrics Depot is your source of lyrics to I SAW THE LIGHT by Hank Williams. Please check back for more Hank Williams lyrics.
I SAW THE LIGHT Lyrics
Artist: Hank Williams
Album: Sings
I [G] wandered so aimless life filled with sin
I [C] wouldn't let my dear saviour [G] in
Then Jesus came like a stranger in the night
Praise the Lord [D7] I saw the [G] light.
I saw the light I saw the light
[C] No more darkness no more [G] night
Now I'm so happy no sorrow in sight
Praise the Lord [D7] I saw the [G] light.
Just like a blind man I wandered along
Worries and fears I claimed for my own
Then like the blind man that God gave back his sight
Praise the Lord I saw the light.

Sharon Stone opens up about life after brush with death
London: Sharon Stone, who has been keeping a low profile for a while, recovering from a near-fatal brain haemorrhage and bringing up the three boys she adopted, has opened up about her brush with death.
The 'Basic Instinct' star is back in a big way, fully recovered, with three growing sons, a toyboy lover, several films awaiting release and a co-starring role with Woody Allen in the offing.
"You don't go through all I've been through and come back and go on with your career unless you're going to take some very big challenges," a leading daily has quoted her as saying.
"I feel OK and I can do it. I also don't care if I fail because what's failure? You know what? I failed at the biggest things there are in life.
"I failed in my health, I failed in my marriage, I failed in everything and I've picked myself up and gone on. I was really lucky not to die, so it feels fantastic to be older and alive and to be playing older and alive people," she said.

Was the Martian past more Earth-like? Chemicals found in Martian rocks by our Curiosity Mars rover suggest the Red Planet once had more oxygen in its atmosphere than it does now. This hint of more oxygen in Mars' early atmosphere adds to other Curiosity findings -- such as evidence about ancient lakes -- revealing how Earth-like our neighboring planet once was.

Tall people are less likely to have a heart attack because their arteries aren't so clogged
- Tall people are less likely than short people to have a build-up of plaque
- Plaque build-ups in the arteries can trigger heart attacks
- The tallest people have as much as 30% less plaque than shorter ones
- No one knows for sure why this is
Tall people are less likely to have furred up arteries meaning they are less prone to heart attacks, new research suggests
Taller people have a towering advantage when it comes to heart disease - they are less likely to have furred up arteries.
New U.S. research reveals height can be good for your health because it cuts the risk of having a build-up of plaque which can trigger heart attacks.
CT scans show there may be as much as 30 per cent less plaque build-up in the tallest men and women, suggesting they are at lower risk of heart disease.
Michael Miedema, a research cardiologist from the Minneapolis Heart Institute Foundation, carried out research involving 2,703 patients from the Family Heart Study.
He said: 'A potential link between height and coronary heart disease has been shown in several studies but the mechanism of this relationship has not been clear and our study suggests the relationship is mediated by plaque build up in the coronary arteries.'
The study used CT scanning to examine the presence of coronary artery calcium (CAC), a direct marker of plaque in the arteries that feed the heart, in study patients.
Coronary artery calcium is a strong predictor of future heart attacks with a nearly 10 fold increase in the risk of coronary heart disease in patients with raised levels of CAC.
It found taller adults tended to have lower levels of plaque, and thus, a lower risk of heart disease.
There was a lower risk of up to 30 per cent in plaque build-up in the top quarter of tallest adults compared to the bottom quarter.
The results had to be adjusted for gender, given the differences in height between men and women, but the relationship was consistent in both men and women the link persisted even after accounting for standard cardiovascular risk factors such as age, smoking, high cholesterol, and diabetes.
The research was published by Circulation - Cardiovascular Imaging, a journal of the American Heart Association.
The study is the first to examine the relationship between adult height and CAC in a large population.
Tall people may have as much as 30 per cent less plaque build-up that shorter people
'Some studies suggest that taller people have favourable changes in their blood pressure due their height but these changes are quite small and unlikely to be the sole cause of this relationship,' said Dr Miedema.
'It may be more likely that this relationship is mediated through a common link, such as childhood nutrition or other environmental factors during childhood, which may be determinants of both adult height as well as future coronary heart disease.'
A previous review of 52 studies of over three million people found that shorts adults were 1.5 times more likely to develop cardiovascular heart disease and die from it than were tall people - a finding made for men and women.
It also found short men were one-third more likely to die from any cause in a given time period compared with tall men, and short women were 5.5 per cent more at risk of premature death from any cause.
Experts had assumed one of the possible reasons for an increased tendency to heart disease was shorter people having smaller coronary arteries which were more prone to becoming furred up earlier in life.

What's the proper way to defend against Floyd's right hand lead?
Floyd seems to time his opponents and use this punch more effectively as the fight goes on. He tagged Hatton repeateadly with that punch. I think a fighter has to keep Mayweather off balance, which is easier said than done. Once Mayweather times you it's very difficult to defend against that right hand lead. I think a fighter must display very good footwork and head movement to avoid it. A stationary fighter doesn't much of a chance to avoid that punch imo. What do you guys think?

The standard defenses against a right hand are to block it or to slip it. You have to know it's coming and be prepared.
It is easier said than done though, because Floyd mixes things up in there so well that you get dizzy trying to predict what he is going to do next.

You keep him from throwing it. It's too fast, too accurate. If he wants to land it, he will. The thing is his timing is just too damn good with it. You can't keep him off balance because as you even get near him you just run into that stiff right. Look at Ortiz for a recent example. Nobody really has the movement (martinez....MAYBE) to really be able to circle around it and stay out of range of it. I guess you could have a high guard, but even then he punches through it (like against Cotto), or he can throw it to the body, or the jab to the body. Or he'll use his great left hook and loop it around the guard. A good jab would help, but it's gunna take super human reflexes to try and dodge or slip it. Blocking just leaves other spots vulnerable against him, he thinks so fast on his feet. Don't know.
No scenario that I come up with will be good enough. I'm just a dude with some experience. It's like asking how to deal with Roy Jones Jr's athleticism back then.

if you sit back in your stance more the punch has a longer distance to travel or a guy who fights like bhop who always keeps a false front and his head off the centerline/line of attack. i shouldnt even be posting this, its some straight ninja ****.

You have to train the body so that you care more about blocking head shots than body shots in certain situations to avoid the lead right. Moving to your right helps too.

Chico held two gloves up and didn't care if Floyd hit him to the body, but he fell for so many of Floyds feints that he left himself unprotected, and eventually was hurt to the body or at least set up for Floyds left hook.

1)Being southpaw
2)A good fast double-jab. It must be fast.
4)Knowing that Floyd Mayweather JR leads opponents down a different path, gets their mind focussed on different things and then throws the lead left hook or the straight right.
5)Keep a good distance away from him when not engaging.

Gone today, hair tomorrow: The transplant you can have in a day (if you don't mind sitting still for 16 hours)
- Scott had hair transplant surgery in just 16 hours
- Patient said operation did hurt but he distracted himself watching films
- The procedure took place in Glasgow and was a first for Scotland
The follicly challenged can now regain a full head of hair in a day thanks to the world's fastest hair transplant. Scott McCrum went baldly into the record books this week - after undergoing the procedure in just 16 hours.
Scott followed in the footsteps of football superstar Wayne Rooney and Scots millionaire Duncan Bannatyne to have the Follicular Unit Extraction (FUE) treatment.
But unlike the celebrities, who underwent the process over a period of up to three days, Scott, 30, had the hair transplanted in one single operation.
Scott McCrum undergoing a record breaking 16 hour hair transplant. He spent £12,500 for the op and had 2,684 grafts carried out.
The surgery works by removing thousands of individual hair follicles from the back of the head, where hair is usually thicker.
The surgeon then uses very small micro blades or fine needles to puncture sites for receiving the grafts. Placing them in a realistic pattern.
The healthy hairs are then 're-planted' them into thinning patches.
The patient is awake during the procedure, having received a local anaesthetic.
After the operation the hair will start to gradually grow and the full results will be seen in eight to 12 months.
He spent £12,500 for the op and had the FUE at The Glasgow Clinic for the FUE which involved 2,684 grafts.
The operation was a success and Scott, from Alloway, Ayrshire, who began to lose his hair in his early 20s, is looking forward to combing the results.
Scott said: 'I'm a pretty confident guy but I found I was beginning to get self-conscious about it.
'It began to go at the front so I used to have expensive hairstyles to try to cover it but then it started going at the crown so I admitted defeat and shaved it off, but I prefer the way I look with hair.
'The operation wasn't so bad. It hurt a little but I just watched a film and let them get on with it.
'It feels good now and I am looking forward to it growing in and seeing the results.
'I didn't set out to be the first in Scotland but it feels great that I am, and hopefully this type of surgery will be available to the wider public in the future.'
Scott began to research having the surgery earlier this year after becoming fed up of his receding hair line.

His surgery started at 7.30am and Scott didn't leave the operating table until 12.30am the following morning.
The surgery works by removing individual follicles at random from the back of the head, where hair is usually thicker, and transplanting them into thinning patches.
The operation is normally done over two to three days but Scott's surgeons decided to complete the procedure in just one day, setting a new world record for speed.
Scott's hair will take at least three months to grow in but he said he is delighted with the results so far.
Ouch! The doctors were able to reconstruct a natural hairline from grafts taken from the back of the head
The Glasgow Clinic was set up by businessman Fraser Christensen, who launched the business in Scotland after having the operation himself.
The operation, which was only available in London and abroad until now, was carried out by Dr Emorane Lupanzula.
He said: 'It's been an extremely successful operation and we're delighted to be the first to have carried this out in Scotland.
'Our qualified and experience team have really set the bench mark high with this surgery in terms of achievement and results across the hair transplant world.
The operation is similar to one undertaken by Wayne Rooney - but over several days.
'Our aim is to change the perception of hair transplantation and educate those seeking a solution.
'In Scotland and across the whole of the UK we need to create an awareness of the FUE procedure.
'It's a revolutionary technique that is so advanced it has taken hair transplantation to a completely new level.
'Opening a clinic in Glasgow gives UK patients an alternative to travelling abroad for FUE treatment and having to wait on long surgery lists.'

Och-Ziff Capital Management's first-quarter income declined on higher taxes, but the firm's other results were universally positive.
The publicly-traded New York hedge fund said its distributable earnings for the first three months of the year were $57.3 million, down from $65.2 million in the year-earlier period. But the lower earnings met analysts' expectations and came on increased revenue, which rose from $138.4 million to $140.9 million.
Och-Ziff blamed the lower earnings on taxes: It's income taxes have increased and a tax distribution taken in the first quarter of last year did not recur. Based on generally accepted accounting principles, Och-Ziff's quarterly loss grew to $122.7 million from $95.5 million, due to expenses stemming from its initial public offering six years ago. Its dividend will be 10 cents per share, down from 13 cents last year but up from 4 cents in the fourth quarter.
Otherwise, everything is sunny at Och-Ziff. All four of its hedge funds were up in the first quarter, as were assets under management, which rose by $300 million in May.
"We generated consistent, positive, absolute returns with low volatility, and the strength of our performance reflects our intense focus on generating returns for our fund investors," CEO Daniel Och said.

The invention concerns a part checking fixture and, in particular, a fixture for verifying the configuration of a curved hollow tube.
Many tubular parts are formed as a series of curved and straight portions to achieve a desired configuration. Of course, each curved and straight portion has a set of tolerances associated with it. Therefore, some method of checking the configuration must be used in order to determine that the ends of the tube can be connected where desired and the tube will follow a path between the ends which will not interfere with anything positioned therealong. The acceptable path is known as an "error envelope".
Although well known, the "error envelope" is difficult to check since each set of tolerances for a portion is dependent upon all of the other sets of tolerances for the part in order to determine an acceptable position for the part in space. One known method of checking tolerances is to utilize blocks to locate the straights of a tube or a hose. A second known method utilizes a rigid fixture with saddle gages that indicate the deviations of the tube straights from the nominal dimensions. Another known method of checking a part is to build the "error envelope" into a fixture into which the parts are inserted. The ends of the tubular parts are located utilizing pins inserted through an aperture in a block on the fixture and engaging an open end of the tubular part. However, such pins commonly are lost thereby rendering the fixture unfit for use until a replacement pin is provided.
The present invention solves the problems of the prior art fixtures by providing an "error envelope" fixture including a spring biased locating pin for each end of the hollow tube. In addition to positioning the hollow tube in the fixture, the locator pins can be utilized to check for the minimum internal diameter of the tubing and the locations for the ends of the tubing. Each of the pins can have one or more indicia formed thereon for cooperation with a mounting block to indicate the distance between the end of the tube engaged by a step on the pin and a predetermined position on the fixture.
The above, as well as other advantages of the present invention, will become readily apparent to those skilled in the art from the following detailed description of a preferred embodiment when considered in the light of the accompanying drawings in which:
FIG. 1 is a perspective view of a fixture embodying the present invention and an associated hollow tube part to be checked in the fixture;
FIG. 2 is a top plan view of the fixture shown in FIG. 1 with the tube inserted into the fixture;
FIG. 3 is an enlarged, fragmentary cross-sectional view taken along the line 3--3 in FIG. 2; and
FIG. 4 is an enlarged, fragmentary cross-sectional view taken along the line 4--4 in FIG. 2.
There is shown in FIG. 1, in perspective view, a fixture 11 for verifying the configuration of a hollow tube part 12. The tube 12 has been formed to a predetermined configuration in a manufacturing process. For example, a first generally straight section 13 has a free end 14 at one end thereof and joins a curved section 15 at the other end thereof. The curved section 15 is connected to one end of a second straight section 16 which has its other end connected to a second curved section 17. The second curved section 17 is connected to one end of a third straight section 18 which has another end connected to a third curved section 19. The third curved section 19 is connected to one end of a fourth straight section 20 which has its opposite end formed as a second free end 21. The tube 12 is merely representative of a typical hollow tubular part having at least one free end, one curved section and one straight section. Furthermore, at least one of the curved and straight sections has a longitudinal axis which must be defined in X-Y-Z cartesian coordinates.
The fixture 11 is typically formed as a block or base 22 having an upwardly facing working surface 23 bounded by generally horizontally extending sidewalls such as a front wall 24 and an end wall 25. The working surface 23 has a relatively wide working channel 26 formed therein of sufficient size to allow clearance for the tube 12 and either a human hand or tool for inserting the tube 12 and retracting the tube 12 with respect to an envelope groove 27 formed in the bottom of the working channel 26. The envelope groove 27 conforms to the outer surface of the "error envelope" for the tube 12. FIG. 3 shows a typical cross-section through the working channel 26 and envelope groove 27 with the tube 12 suspended in the groove 27 as will be discussed below. The groove 27 is generally U-shaped with the width and the height being equal to the maximum diameter of the "error envelope" for the corresponding section of the tube 12. For example, in FIG. 3, the third straight section 18 is shown as being located entirely within the groove 27 so that it checks as being within the "error envelope". If the section 18 either interfered with one of the sidewalls of the groove 27 or extended above the top of the groove 27, it would be considered to be out of tolerance and unacceptable.
As shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, a pair of locating blocks 28 and 29 are provided for engaging the free ends 14 and 21 respectively thereby locating the tube in a desired orientation in the envelope groove 27. The locator block 28 is attached to an upwardly facing mounting surface 30 by any suitable means (not shown). The mounting surface 30 is formed generally parallel to and below the working surface 23 and the bottom of the envelope groove 27. As best shown in FIG. 4, the locator block 28 includes a locator pin 31 having a reduced diameter end 32 for insertion into the free end 14 of the tubing 12. The diameter of the end 32 is equal to the minimum inside diameter of the tube 12 in order to check that dimension. A step 33 is formed at the junction of the reduced diameter end 32 and the larger diameter body of the locator pin 31. The step 33 engages the edge of the free end 14 and is utilized in the checking of another dimension as will be discussed below. The longitudinal axis of the locator pin 31 is positioned relative to the sides of the envelope groove 27 such as to locate the tube 12 in the nominal center of the envelope. Thus, the tube 12 is supported by the reduced diameter end 32 above the bottom of the envelope groove 27 as shown in FIG. 4.
The locator block shown in FIG. 4 is formed of a pair of body halves 34 and 35 which can be held together by one or more fasteners such as screws 36 shown in FIG. 1. The body halves 34 and 35 are formed with facing internal cavities 37 and 38 respectively for retaining a helical biasing spring 39. Although a helical spring 39 is shown, other types of springs and biasing means can be utilized. The blocks 34 and 35 have opposed apertures 40 and 41 formed therein respectively which apertures connect the cavities 37 and 38 with the exterior of the locator block. The larger diameter body portion of the locator pin 31 extends through the apertures 40 and 41 and the cavities 37 and 38. The apertures 40 and 41 can be provided with bushings 42 and 43 respectively which bushings function as sleeve bearings for sliding movement of the locator pin 31.
The larger diameter portion of the locator pin 31 extends through the center of the biasing spring 39 and has an outwardly extending flange 44 formed thereon which flange is located in the internal cavity 38 when the pin 31 is in the position shown in FIG. 4 under the influence of the biasing spring 39. The spring 39 extends between the wall of the cavity 37 in which the aperture 40 is formed and the opposing face of the flange 44. The flange 44 is shown as being positioned away from the wall of the cavity 38 containing the aperture 41. The position of the flange 44 relative to the walls of the cavities 37 and 38 is determined by the position at which the end 14 of the tube 12 abuts the step 33. The locator block 28 can be constructed and located such that the flange 44 is spaced from but adjacent to the wall containing the aperture 41 when the step 33 is located at the one extreme of the tolerance range for the location of the end 14 of the tube 12. If the end 14 is actually located farther to the right in FIG. 4, the locator pin 31 will be moved to compress the spring 39. Obviously, the range of tolerances for the end 14 of the tube 12 should be such that the spring 39 is compressed slightly for short tubes and is not fully compressed for long tubes at extremes of the tolerance range. As an aid in determining whether the end 14 of the tube 12 is within the tolerance range, indicia 45 are provided on the larger diameter portion of the body of the locator pin 31. For example, the longer lines 45 can represent the mid point and end points of the tolerance range while the shorter lines 45 can represent distances halfway between the center and the end point. Utilizing the indicia 45 which are visible beyond the outer wall of the body half 34, an operator can easily determine whether the end 14 of the tube 12 is within the desired tolerance range.
The locator block 29 is similar in construction to the locator block 28 and is attached to an upwardly facing surface 46. The mounting surface 46 is recessed below the working surface 23 and is inclined with respect to horizontal in order to match the degree of inclination of the fourth straight section 20 and the third curved section 19. The locator block 29 includes a spring biased locator pin 47 which engages the internal diameter of the second free end 21 of the tube 12 in a manner similar to the locator pin 31 associated with the locator block 28. Thus, the locator pins 31 and 47 not only position the ends of the tube 12 within the "error envelope" defined by the envelope groove 27, but they serve as an indicator for the horizontal positions of the free ends 14 and 21.
In operation, the tube 12 is placed into the envelope groove 27 with the free ends 14 and 21 resting on top of the reduced diameter ends of the locator pins 31 and 47. Either one of the locator pins 31 and 47 is then moved in a direction to compress its associated biasing spring thereby allowing the free end of the tube 12 to clear the reduced diameter end. When the free end is aligned with the reduced diameter end, the locator pin is allowed move under the influence of the biasing spring to engage the edge of the tube with the associated step on the locator pin. A similar procedure is followed with the locator pin associated with the other free end of the tube 12 thereby positioning the ends of the tube in the center of the "error envelope" defined by the envelope groove 27. The tube 12 is an acceptable part if the indicia on the locator pins 31 and 47 show that the tube ends fall within the tolerance ranges and no portion of the tube 12 extends above the upper edge of the envelope groove 27.
In accordance with the provisions of the patent statutes, the present invention has been described in what is considered to represent its preferred embodiment. However, it should be noted that the invention can be practiced otherwise than as specifically illustrated and described without departing from its spirit or scope.
