Rednecks Can't Research
Texas A&M is not one of the "country's finest research institutions" ["Aggie Alchemy"]. It is a regional school popular with local rednecks, but virtually unknown outside of Texas.
It should not shock anyone that a con-artist was able to dupe a hick "school" best known for football, pickup trucks, guns and bigotry.
Name Withheld
Don't Call Alison; She'll Call You
I'm frequently flattered by friends who think I'm Alison Cook! We have many of the same tastes and ideas about food and Houston restaurants. To read her superb prose every Wednesday is a rare treat. This lady can write!
If Alison ever needs a dinner companion, I'm available.

Summer Push-ups Widespread?
This letter is to call to your attention
an error printed in the Houston Press. In "Post Office Push-ups" [News, by Alex Hecht, April 7], you committed a faux pas. You stated that "Cypress-Fairbanks ISD is the only Houston-area school district that offers PE during summer school." I can facilely belie this because in the district in which I reside, Alief, PE is given in the summer. Simply another bitch.

Shut Up and Start Sweating
Come on, is one more semester of gym class really going to ruin a kid's life? ["Post Office Push-ups"] If Erin Yarbrough is attending Texas A&M, then she must have taken physical education courses there -- you had to have four semesters' worth to graduate when I was at A&M during the mid-eighties. The most disturbing part of this silly dust-up is the fact that students are actually cheating on something as easy as physical education. Makes you wonder in what other classes they're cheating.

Toon Tells Own Tales
When I bought my place in the development now fondly referred to as Toon Town, I never imagined it would qualify for front-cover news in Houston's foremost alternative weekly ["Tales of Toon Town," by Brad Tyer, March 3]. I should have, though, since it is probably the most creative street in Grimes County, Texas, and possibly the world. Brad Tyer has managed to capture a part of why we love our neighborhood and communicated that to the world. That's more than most of us have ever been able to do. I sent a copy straightaway to my parents so they could finally get a window into my life as a Toon.

Last season, the 76ers squeezed all they could out of an athletic lineup and decided to make big changes by shipping their lone All-Star, Andre Iguodala in exchange for Andrew Bynum, switching gears and creating a new offensive framework, one that will be designed to win in the playoffs.
Most of the 2011's early season success came from hustle, good defense and smart play. The 76ers took very good care of the ball. They ranked first in turnovers/game, over a full 2 turnovers less than the second place Clippers (11.2 to 13.3). They played fantastic defense. They ranked 3rd in the NBA in scoring defense and FG% against.
Their play was clearly a by-product of Doug Collins' defense-first mentality and it allowed them to jump out to a lead in the Atlantic. They played tons of home games and by mid February they were an impressive 20-9. Then they came back to earth. By mid-April they were 30-31 and in danger of blowing an opportunity at the playoffs.

Letters to the Editor
Kudos to a Beautiful B&B
Congratulations should be given to the owners of the beautiful bed and breakfast establishment named Blue Haven on the old Island Highway in Parksville.
They have put such a lot of thought, work and love into making this place look so welcoming and as a small business, have proven to be a credit to our community. I am sure their guests are truly delighted when they arrive to see what a gem of a place they are staying in. Businesses like this deserve to be recognized.

Forked cymbals known as crotala traveled from Egypt to Greece and Rome, and finger cymbals were introduced from the East, chiefly for dancers, a pair being attached to the thumb and middle finger of each hand....who hold a pair in each hand. An inverted bowl set afloat in a larger, water-filled bowl, is beaten with a single stick by the Saharan Tuareg as their substitute for the western African water gourd. Finger cymbals are worn pairwise on the finger and thumb of each hand by dancers. Basically, however, the percussion of this area is executed by drums.

I'm still learning Jquery and a bit confused with the task I have on my hands.
Seems like a simple task... I have a box that I want to populate with Options on click. I don't want it to be populated on page load, only when someone actually requests to see the list. Also it has to be populated only once. I really dont want the request to go out EVERY time someone expands the list.
I imagine that I'll probably have a function call in my Select element
<select id="usersList" name="usersList" onclick="getUsers()">
And then have a Javascript getUsers() function make a call to my Json GetUsers() ActionMethod to get that list. How ?
Something like...?
function getUsers()
getJSON("/Users/GetUsers", null, function (data){}
or JQuery?...
$.getJSON("/Users/GetUsers", null, function (data) {}
I should mention that I saw this post: populate selectlist with json data in JQuery when the selectlist is loaded (not the document)
But I need help putting it all together please. Thank you in advance!

Researched the common problem with "dryer not turning on", and tested the top three problems. Removed the dryer front casing and door, unbolted front dryer plate. Used a volt meter on two of the temp gauges, which were fine. Removed the upper back plate of the dryer to the wiring for the knobs and buttons. Used the volt meter on the dryer start button, which was also fine. Went back around to the front and removed the door switch. Tested it with the volt meter and bingo. Replaced that part, dryer works like normal.

This would be my second try with the same outcome, the colors in the rug are entirely, completely unlike what I see on my computer. There is not a single bit of orange in the rug I received yet it appears orange in the photos. Such a lovely rug, this time I am going to keep it and see how it looks with the furniture. Bummed, so wanted an orange rug, but returning seems daunting with a 128 pound item!!

More details have emerged about Justin Bieber's arrest early Thursday morning (January 23) in Miami Beach on suspicion of drag racing and DUI charges .
Justin Bieber Arrested In Miami.
NBC6 posted an image of what it said were the cars that Bieber and his entourage were in when the arrest took place. The chopper shot shows what appears to be two Lamborghinis, one red and another yellow, as well as a Ferrari in the middle. "#Lamborghini #JustinBieber was in when @MiamiBeachPD arrested him for #dragracing," read the caption.
#Chopper6 over the yellow #Lamborghini #JustinBieber was in when @MiamiBeachPD arrested him for
#dragracing. @nbc6 pic.twitter.com/Zc2J6sv3rO
— Kelly Blanco (@KellyNBC6) January 23, 2014
NBC6 also put up a video of the incident, seemingly taken by Bieber fans who were following the action on the city's streets. In the clip several unidentified women can be heard saying Bieber's name and then, "He's right there, he's right there! … Oh my God, Justin just got pulled over," as shaky footage shows a yellow Lamborghini racing down the street. Police sources told the station that Bieber may have also had drugs in his system at the time of the arrest.
According to CNN, a fleet of SUVs were blocking off traffic behind Bieber and Def Jam signee Khalil Sharief, 19, who police confirmed was the other person arrested and charged with drag racing and DUI. Sharief posted an image of himself behind the wheel of a Lamborghini just hours before his arrest, with the message, "Miami nights ridin thru yo city in that hot wheel."
Khalil also put up an image of Bieber in the yellow car with a woman identified as Chantal Jeffries. The photo, with a caption that reportedly read, "@chanteljeffries taking me for a ride in the lambo," has since been deleted from Bieber's account.
Another picture of Bieber posed in front of two Lambos with the caption, "Thanks to @loulavie and @internationallc for the whips," was also deleted from Justin's account. La Vie runs a luxury and exotic car rental service with offices in Miami and Palm Beach that offers rentals of a variety of cars including: Lamborghini, Ferrari, Maserati, Rolls Royce and Porsche.
The incident took place around 4 a.m. when police spotted Bieber's rented Lamborghini and another car being trailed by multiple SUVs, NBC6 reported. Police gave chase, though the vehicles were moving at such a high rate of speed it took them a "significant distance" to catch him.
In a video on TMZ, a group of unidentified people can be seen crowding around a yellow Lambo, followed by purported footage of the arrest. The site also claimed that unidentified police sources said Bieber was additionally charged with resisting arrest without violence and driving on an expired license. The former charge was said to be because Bieber refused to take his hands out of his pockets when ordered to do so by police.
Bieber, who has a fleet of expensive vehicles in Los Angeles, has had car troubles in a Lambo before, including in March 2013, when he was warned by police in Dubai after his rented whip reportedly set off six speed cameras.
A spokesperson for the Miami Beach Police Department could not be reached for comment at press time.

text: Dear Property Owner Did you realise it is now a legal requirement for all residential rental properties to be fitted with compliant and working smoke alarms? As your property manager, we feel obliged to make sure you understand your responsibilities under the law and help you by providing a service which ensures your property's compliance. The smoke alarm/s in your rental property/ies, currently managed by us must, by law: Be correctly fitted and maintained Be checked at each change of tenancy or lease renewal. It is also recommended that alarms are: Checked annually as per manufacturer's requirements if no change of tenancy occurs within 12 months, this ensures the warranty on the alarms remain current, otherwise it is void. Not only are there substantial fines associated with non compliance but insurance companies require landlords to comply with all statutory obligations imposed by any public authority. This means that your insurance may fail to pay out if there is a claim and your property is non-compliant and that you could find yourself in a civil law suit, in the event of a fire. We have engaged Smoke Alarms Queensland to manage your property/ies in this respect. Pricing Structure Year One - $154.00 (including GST). Includes a set up fee for our system as well as documenting and installing or replacing alarms where necessary to make the property comply with all regulations.* Every year thereafter – $99.00 (including GST) This annual fee covers any servicing requirements for the property, irrespective of the type or number of alarms at your property, or the number of visits required per year. If any alarms are expired or need replacing, supply and installation is included in this price.* You will also be issued with a certificate of compliance for every visit. The professional service incorporates a full function test to ensure the smoke alarms are in working order. This includes checking that ventilation holes are clear of any obstructions and insects and cleaning alarms thoroughly. Alarms are also smoke tested and batteries are changed. Smoke Alarms Queensland has invested in sophisticated computer systems to ensure that a property does not get forgotten and fall out of compliance. In our view, this is the greatest risk to a landlord from this legislation – not failing to install a smoke alarm but failing to ensure it is maintained. Please note that it is your responsibility to ensure that your property is compliant with the legislation and that it remains compliant. We believe it is in your best interests that we go ahead with this service, and so will be contracting Smoke Alarms Queensland on your behalf. If you have any objections to this service, please call by the (__/__/____). If we don't hear back within this time we will go ahead with the compliancy inspection and service of your investment property. Yours sincerely, Property Manager * If hard wired alarms are requested or required, they will be charged at an additional cost of $75.00 per alarm (including GST)

Golden State Warriors
Warriors meet with Howard, Iguodala
July 1, 2013 Updated: July 1, 2013 10:49pmForget the fact that they're already $10 million over the salary cap and bumping up against the luxury tax threshold, the Warriors spent the first day of free agency wishfully courting some of the class' highest-priced talents.
Warriors owner Joe Lacob, general manager Bob Myers and head coach Mark Jackson were in Los Angeles on Monday, having been granted prime dates to present their case to center Dwight Howard and to swingman Andre Iguodala.
The Warriors' contingent included Southern California-based executive board member Jerry West for portions of the meetings and added Stephen Curry for a morning workout with Howard at UCLA.
Howard and Iguodala are far out of the Warriors' price range this offseason, but ownership likes to be part of these conversations. The Warriors have told their own free agents, Jarrett Jack and Carl Landry, that they need to "wait and see" despite publicly calling them priorities.
The Warriors have about $69 million locked up in 10 players, before they make decisions about non-guaranteed deals with Kent Bazemore, Dwayne Jones and Scott Machado. That's already far over the $58.5 million salary cap. The luxury tax threshold is $71.6 million, and a tax apron (basically a hard cap) kicks in at $75.6 million if the Warriors use the full mid-level or biannual exceptions this offseason.
They essentially have the mini-mid-level exception ($3.18 million) and minimum contracts to offer on the free-agent market, unless they make drastic moves. And that seems to be just what the Warriors are exploring.
After being turned down everywhere in trying to discard the expiring contracts of Richard Jefferson ($11 million) and Andris Biedrins ($9 million), the Warriors turned to their next most inflated contract.
All-Star power forward David Lee makes nearly $14 million this season and about $44 million over the next three seasons. The Warriors were rebuffed in offers that included Lee for Minnesota's Kevin Love, Portland's LaMarcus Aldridge and Toronto's Andrea Bargnani.
The Warriors will try Lee again in doing a sign-and-trade for Iguodala, and they could get a little bit of salary cap flexibility if the Lakers agree to a sign-and-trade for Howard. A deal for the league's best center would have to include Andrew Bogut and either Harrison Barnes or Klay Thompson. Since the Lakers wouldn't get anything back if Howard chooses Houston or Dallas, they might be nudged into taking Jefferson or Biedrins.
While the Warriors chase two guys who are largely in their dreams, the two guys they can actually bring back are free to talk with other teams. Jack talked with Dallas and Detroit, has attention from Sacramento and Philadelphia and could link up with Landry again in Milwaukee. The Bucks want Landry, who also had interest from Toronto and Charlotte last season.
The Warriors are making information gathering a priority, so they know all about the talks of Jack and Landry. Golden State is also exploring backup options with New Orleans. The teams had talks last year that are resuming this offseason after Tyreke Evans got a big offer Monday from the Pelicans, which could make guard Greivis Vasquez and former Stanford center Robin Lopez available in a trade.
-- NBA: Chris Paul agrees to stay with the Clippers as free agency opens, but the Lakers' Dwight Howard will take his time. B2

Alexander McQueen Spring 2013 | Pictures
Alexander McQueen Spring 2013
Sarah Burton's Spring '13 collection for Alexander McQueen was quite literally buzzing with excitement. With models decked out in elaborate honeycomb beekeeper hats, Burton created a truly masterful collection, inspired by Alberto Vargas's pinup images, filled with dramatic hoopskirts, ornate detailing, and some of the most inventive looks we've seen yet. It was a dramatic entrance as the show opened up with cropped honeycomb trousers paired with a gold peplum jacquard blazer — accessorized with gorgeous amber-hued jewelry reminiscent of bee nectar. More sweetness followed suit highlighting fit-and-flare skirts, resin bustiers, structured mesh tops, and hot shorts all featuring Burton's bee theme. Watching the collection go down the aisle was like studying art, further exemplified by Burton's impressive array of evening wear. Corset minidresses were paired up with netted thigh-high boots, billowy off-shoulder renditions revealed a honeycomb bodice underneath, and the grand finale, a showstopping array of red, yellow, and black crinoline gowns, simply took our breath away. Indeed, there's no question that Paris saved the best for last.
- Trends: Jacquard, statement prints, shine, full skirts, structured silhouettes.
- Colors: Gold, black, yellow, red, cream, dark green, amber.
- Key Piece: If we had to choose, we'd go with the most wearable look; the honeycomb pants and gold peplum jacquard blazer combo was amazing.
- Accessories: Modern honeycomb hats, bee-embellished cuffs, necklaces, and belts, shimmery ankle-wrap strapped shoes with honeycomb mesh detailing, patent honeycomb satchels, thigh-high honeycomb mesh boots, corset belts.

2 I said in mine heart, Go to now, I will prove thee with mirth, therefore enjoy pleasure: and, behold, this also is vanity. 2 I said of laughter, It is mad: and of mirth, What doeth it? 3 I sought in mine heart to give [1] myself unto wine, yet acquainting mine heart with wisdom; and to lay hold on folly, till I might see what was that good for the sons of men, which they should do under the heaven all the days of their life. 4 I made me great works; I builded me houses; I planted me vineyards: 5 I made me gardens and orchards, and I planted trees in them of all kind of fruits: 6 I made me pools of water, to water therewith the wood that bringeth forth trees: 7 I got me servants and maidens, and had servants born [2] in my house; also I had great possessions of great and small cattle above all that were in Jerusalem before me: 8 I gathered me also silver and gold, and the peculiar treasure of kings and of the provinces: I gat me men singers and women singers, and the delights of the sons of men, as musical instruments, and that of all sorts. 9 So I was great, and increased more than all that were before me in Jerusalem: also my wisdom remained with me. 10 And whatsoever mine eyes desired I kept not from them, I withheld not my heart from any joy; for my heart rejoiced in all my labour: and this was my portion of all my labour. 11 Then I looked on all the works that my hands had wrought, and on the labour that I had laboured to do: and, behold, all was vanity and vexation of spirit, and there was no profit under the sun.

anfmdl 5pts I recently rented an Altima at Newark with 52k miles on the odometer, from Dollar, and the Cvt was very harsh. Maybe it was due to hard rental life, but I would not consider buying one. On a positive side, the rpms at 75 mph were around 1,700 which made for a relaxing cruise down the Pike.
Fred Girondi 5pts I have been driving my 2013 Altima SL for six months now. I purchased the car in spite of reports by some people that the CVT is a problem. After driving the car and sharing with other owners, I would like to state that the CVT makes the car! It's great! The 4-cylinder engine seems to effortlessly move the car and seems to beg for more. On a recent trip I got a little over 42 mpg. In city driving I get about 27. The fit and finish are fine and much better than most of the competition, and you can load it with options for much less than others in this class. Noise from the drivetrain is quite acceptable. Nissan took great pains to perfect the CVT in 2013, and it shows. How well it will do over time and 1000's more miles only time will tell. But, I have to tell you I am extremely pleased. Don't believe everything you read.
peterl23777 5pts If road test reviewers would drive Nissans with CVT for a few years/many thousand miles, they would not be glossing over the very annoying characteristics that show up over extended miles. The noise, clunks, whirrs, and last but not least the engine drone that will drive a person crazy. Jump in a 2009, 2010 with 40-50K on it, totally unacceptable. The newer ones drop the revs quickly which create a resonance/vibration that surely road test drivers can hear. That can only get more annoying the longer the ownership. The Altima with CVT is a rough car once it gets a few miles on it. Think long and hard about buying one, there are many other choices which use a conventional automatic.
mwebber78 5pts Nice copy and paste from the other Nissan long term update. Same non-factual statement from someone who doesn't even own one....
alsorl 5pts I've read on other long term test of this same car people are getting 44mpg on the highway. That is TDi level of mpg on regular unleaded.
mwebber78 5pts The design doesn't need to be any more bold then the competition - as a previous poster mentioned they've cut and pasted so many shapes onto the Accord it's now fugly. The Camry is a snore and the crash ratings are sub par to the segment, in addition check all the Toyota recalls - the most recent is a heated seat fire potential. The Mazda is a great car, I love the looks but what the car has in handling and style edge is lost in the Skyactiv engine combo. The folks at Mazda have a panoche for making gutless motors lately.The Altima is a nice compromise, the sales prove this is true for the average Joe/Jane buyer.
TheCatholicBoat 5pts For people who don't mind CVTs, It has some great bucket seats and the potential for 38 MPG highway, two big plusses for mpst people in this market.
leo1 5pts will it age as well as the Accord.. no question the Accord is ugly and now that hte Genesis rear end has been grafed to it i would be ashamed to even buy one, not to mention the Accords horrid brakes (honda dropped hte ball big time there).. will it age like the 6? no, i think the 6 takes the crown, I traded in an 07G35x for an Altima SV and for daily duty the Altima is the better option - the seats are by far the best of any car i've ever owned or driven, though as far as excitement and performance by far the 03 G35 RWD is still my favorite car - raw, sporty, unapologetic just as it should be -- i know, i know, but with two kids the stiff suspension and not so large rear seats i just am not willing to deal with that much trouble everyday.. part of the reason why the 6 did not take me home.. we'll see what happens once they are able to get in and out in their own and out the car seats

(Page 2 of 2)
The big revelations generating the buzz for ''Bush at War'' are not real revelations at all. The Powell vs. Rumsfeld-Cheney battles over policy aren't news, and neither is it a shock that Fox News's Roger Ailes might have a back channel to a Republican administration. The truly sensitive issues for the Bush administration are those that are given short shrift in the book or are left out entirely. We hear no inside accounts of its failure to track down the anthrax terrorists. John Ashcroft's inability to arrest a single terrorist during his post-9/11 mass roundups goes unnoted.
The Saudis are remarkably minor figures. ''We need to know whoever is giving [bin Laden] money and deal with them,'' says President Bush, who vows to personally contact the leader of any nation reluctant to cooperate with the crackdown. But the Saudis' continued resistance to these entreaties goes unreported. Even odder is that Mr. Woodward's book, for all its you-are-there theatrics in recounting the days after 9/11, makes no mention at all of what happened on 9/18: the administration's collaboration with the Saudis in flying bin Laden family members out of America. What old/oil boy network pulled those strings in the White House? Why did the F.B.I. not verify whether the fleeing bin Ladens were both personally and financially estranged from Osama? Neither the Americans nor the Saudis have yet lifted the veil on this dead-of-night exodus.
This omission is characteristic of a narrative that acknowledges the American failure to nab Osama or vanquish Al Qaeda but plays down the embarrassing details by racing through them perfunctorily. The pivotal battle of Tora Bora gets only two paragraphs, yet it was the Waterloo that allowed more than 1,000 Qaeda operatives (plus, in all likelihood, bin Laden) to escape. Newsweek, which did nail down the fiasco last summer, said the story was hard to get because ''American officials, both civilian and military, prefer to focus on what went right.'' Though ''Bush at War'' does report setbacks in the war, they are usually the temporary setbacks in the administration's triumphal toppling of the Taliban, not those lasting defeats in routing Al Qaeda.
As American officials prefer, the book's focus is on what went right -- and while much did, it is our failed pursuit of Al Qaeda that is relevant to our engagement in Iraq, especially as its agents steadily escalate their post-9/11 pace of terrorist activity. It is not reassuring that the same war planners who completely misjudged the enemy in Tora Bora are now plotting our cakewalk through Iraq.
Mr. Woodward does offer some useful, if unexamined, nuggets on Iraq, showing that Paul Wolfowitz wanted to target it from the start. According to ''Bush at War,'' though, Mr. Wolfowitz was not driven by ideology or any certainty of a connection between Saddam and Al Qaeda, but by the expectation that ''war against Iraq might be easier than against Afghanistan.'' In a subsequent interview, President Bush explained why he didn't want to go to war simultaneously with Al Qaeda and Saddam after 9/11: ''If we tried to do too many things -- two things, for example, or three things -- militarily, then . . . the lack of focus would have been a huge risk.''
The follow-up question that can't be found in ''Bush at War'' is simple enough: If it was a huge risk to split our focus between Saddam and Al Qaeda then, why isn't it now?

Left AloneChapter 1As I walk down a asphalt path, I see a figure ahead of me. Getting closer, I recognize the figure to be a woman. No older than nineteen, I assume. Her hair is light blue with streaks of green."Hello" I greet her. She keeps walking on, ignoring me. "Are you lost?" I ask."Leave me alone" she whispers. She lifts her head and gazes at me. She lifts her head and gazes at me. She has beautiful eyes, one icy blue and the other shimmering gold. I see scars and dried blood. I gasp softly."What's happened to you?" I ask."I don't want to talk about it" she hisses."Can I help you?" I ask. A tear creeps down her right cheek."Its been so long since I've felt compassion" she says softly."My home is just down the road. Come on, let's get you cleaned up" I say."Ok" she whispers. It's a nice day. The sun is out and gartros are chirping. Gartros are completely harmless avian creatures. This is a typical day in the land of Aruza. I look up and glimpse one of the moons, Folor.

6. The device as set forth in claim 1 wherein the motor is set forth in a tool generally as described in the drawings of the instant invention.
7. The device as set forth in claim 1 wherein the motor is included in a hand-held device as set forth specifically in the drawings included in this application.
This invention relates to a vacuum motor and a utilization of the said vacuum motor.
In the past there have been numerous occasions where vacuum motors have been useful. This invention is of a vacuum powered motor and, more specifically, it is of a vacuum powered motor of the type which is set forth more fully and describedhereinafter. The vacuum motor of the instant invention may be powered by the available vacuum from the intake manifold of a conventional internal combustion engine or, for example, from a vacuum cleaner. It will be appreciated that in the production ofenergy from an internal combustion engine there is available vacuum from the intake manifold, which varies depending upon the idle speed. The vacuum flow rate from internal combustion engines, irrespective of what its amount may be in cubic feet perminute is significant. The concept of this invention is to utilize vacuum flow energy to obtain useful work and more specifically, to utilize the same as a motor, which is hand held. For example, a motor driven by such vacuum forces may be used in anemergency, to power the jack of a car as well as for various other types of operations, such a paint spraying device, a compressor, a winch, whether it is for a trailer to haul a boat or for an anchor on a boat and, of interest to the ladies, as a wrenchto remove lug bolts when a spare tire is to be changed.
It is, according, an object of this invention to provide a vacuum driven motor of the type described more fully hereinafter which is simple and inexpensive and which is characterized by the features which are described in the followingdescription as well as the drawings and which will find use in a wide variety of application.
In accordance with these and other object which will become more apparent hereinafter, this invention will now be described with reference to the accompanying drawings in which:
FIG. 1 is a side elevation view of a tool equipped with the vacuum motor;
FIG. 2 is a view partly in cross-section of the tool of FIG. 1;
FIG. 3 is view in cross-section taken on the plane indicated by the 3--3 and looking in the direction of the arrows;
FIG. 4 is a view similar to FIG. 3 and illustrating the vanes of the tool motor in a different attitude in operation.
Referring to the drawings and particularly to FIG. 1, the tool is designated by the numeral 12. It includes a vacuum driven motor which is adapted to be connected through a nipple and supply tube to a vacuum source as is indicated by the chaindot lines at the bottom of FIG. 1. The tool includes a handle 14 with a through passageway 72 from the nipple 76 to the interior of a housing 16 which is connected to it by means of bolts 18 and 20. The housing 16 includes a longitudinally or, as shownin FIG. 1, horizontally extending bore and is generally cylindrical being closed at one end by a cap 24 and at the other end by a ring 32. To the forward side of the ring there is mounted a casing 30 which is secured to the housing by means of boltssuch as that designated by the numeral 34 in FIG. 1. Within this casing there is a gear train 200 with a gear connected by key means on to the shaft so as to be in driving relation of a conventional tool chuck assembly 300. This is adapted to turn whenthe motor operates. The cap 24, as well as the ring 32, is provided, with an axial through bore 102 in communication with the interior cylindrical chamber 100 of the tool housing 16. This chamber is lined by a co-cylindrical sleeve 40. Within thischamber, there is eccentrically journaled a rotor 100, see FIGS. 3 and 4. The rotor has a plurality of circumferentially equally spaced, radially extending slits such as 402 and 404, each of which is sized to receive a vane, such as 406, for radiallysliding movement thereof. The fit is such that the vane will move downwardly under the influence of gravity to touch the ring 40.
It is seen, on reference to FIGS. 3 and 4 that, as the rotor rotates, the vanes will be thrust outwardly by centrifugal forces so that their outer edges are in engagement with the interior of the housing ring, or a sleeve insert 40. The rotorincludes a shaft which extends axially into the cap 24, as is designated by the numeral 110. The shaft is sized for rotation in the bore 102, which is counter bored to accommodate the bearing member 112. The other housing end, composed of the annularmember 32 has a bore with a bearing member 124 to support the other end of the rotor shaft, which projects outwardly and may be conveniently provided with a gear keyed to it for for inclusion in the gear train 200.
Referring now to the sleeve 40, that is, the liner member within the chamber of the housing, it is seen that it is provided with a first and second spaced radial passageway one of which is designated by the numerals 42 and the other which isdesignated by the numeral 44, these passageways are spaced from one another a predetermined circumferential distance. Additionally, the housing is provided with a arcuately extending slit 66 symmetrical with respect to a plane vertically through thehandle and diametrically through the rotor. In the slit, there is captivated a slidably control member 46 adapted for circumferential movement. This member has a first radially extending passageway 62 and a second radially extending passageway 64spaced from one another a predetermined circumferential distance. Further, extending vertically there is an opening 70 in open communication with the handle passageway 72 through which a vacuum is drawn. This is effective to suck air through thepassageway 42 or 44 on one side or ther other or an intermediate vane as shown in FIG. 2 and FIG. 3 to cause a differential pressure or force to be applied to the vane on the other side of which the vacuum is applied. The handle passageway 70 isprovided with a closure means which is trigger operated, which is now to be described with reference to FIG. 2. This mechanism 80 includes a trigger 82 which is adapted to telescopingly move in captivated relation axially with a member 84 to cause adiametrical opening 90 to open or close the suction path, urged by spring 80 which bears against the keeper plate to a normal closed position. The trigger is but effective upon application of finger tip pressure to move to the open position of alignmentof holes 90 and 70. The keeper 88 is press fitted into a recess in the handle. Upon trigger operation, a passageway is opened as indicated by the arrowed lines in FIGS. 3 and 4.
In use, upon the application of a vacuum and the depression of the trigger member 82, the opening 90 will permit the vacuum to be drawn through the arcuate slit 66 and the passageway 42 of the ring 408, causing an unequal pressure to be exertedon the most exposed radial fin of the eccentric rotor. This will in turn impart a movement of rotation to the rotor. It will be noted that through the passageway 62 in FIG. 3, ambient pressure may enter and affect the fin in addition to the vacuumcausing rotation by means of the differential in pressure. It will further be seen that the angularly movable control member in the arcuate housing slit is provided with radially extending operator members 58 and 60 so that the holes 62 and 64 may beoriented selectively, as shown in FIGS. 3 and 4. Stop means to limit movement are the ends 52 and 54 which bear against the housing either at 50 or 56 respectively. Upon the application of the suction forces, depending upon the position of the rotorvanes, whether as shown in FIG. 3 or FIG. 4, there will be a differential pressure which will cause rotation of the rotor and, once initiated, the same will build up and cause a vacuum driven motor operation to ensue which may be transmitted through thegear train to a suitable tool such as that designated by the numeral 300. The motore may be reveresed by simple movement of the angularly movable member in the housing slit by means of the exteriorly excessible operator 58 or 60.
While the instant invention has been shown and described in the drawings in a preferred embodiment, and, in certain detail in the above written description, it is recognized that the departures may be made from those specific disclosures withinthe spirit and scope of the overall invention as is defined more fully in the claims which follow and, accordingly, the applicant is entitled to the full range of the equivalence thereof.

General Question
Why can't I get Verified by Visa to accept my card information when ordering online?
Asked by Paradox25 (10091
February 8th, 2014
I have no trouble using my debit card normally when ordering products online. However, whenever a website uses a Verified by Visa questionaire requiring me to type my name, expiration date, security number and pin number from my card it never accepts my information. It just tells me an error occured.
Now I know the name on my card, expiration date, security number and pin number so why doesn't this process work for me? I had tried removing cookies and used a different browser, but nothing I had tried worked. I have the same problems when trying start a Pay Pal account too.
