Can't seem to figure out where to purchase your plumbing supplies that are not only elegant in style but also will last for a long time? Searching for your perfect plumbing supplies for your Miami FL home will be more convenient if you do it online.
It is because you can just browse through the internet and pick the ones that you desire and you can compare the prices as well. Rather than going to one home improvement store to another and just end up tiring yourself after a long search.
Chances are you won't be able to focus anymore since you are exhausted and won't be able to compare the prices and check the quality of the plumbing materials. Bottom line, you still might buy the ones that are not really practical.
Buying Plumbing Repair Parts
Getting plumbing repair parts can be tricky and costly. Where can you get repair parts for a faucet, shower, toilet, or basically any fixture in the house? Well, you can go to a hardware store, home improvement store, plumbing supply house or even order from the internet. But have you ever thought about contacting the manufacturer directly? The manufacturer can be a great source for plumbing repair parts for just about any type of repair.
If your particular plumbing problem is not an emergency you can simply call the customer service number for the manufacturer of the fixture that needs a repair. Dealing with a manufacturer can give you new respect for their line of products. It always amazes me how helpful they are at identifying the type of problem you are having and then finding the right repair part. Most manufacturers will assist you with ordering replacement parts and many times the parts will be sent to you completely free if they are covered in the warranty. Most manufacturers want you to be happy with their products and continue to buy them. If you have a bad experience when ordering or getting help it is likely you will not want to deal with them in the future and may want to avoid that manufacturer's products all together.
Here's another great way to purchase your plumbing supplies online. As I have mentioned earlier, searching online is more convenient since you don't have to tire yourself in searching from different places. Through online, you can search, compare and choose the plumbing fittings that you need. So, by the time you visit the company, you know already what to buy. You can also choose to order it for delivery depending on the company if they have this kind of option. Continue reading below and learn these important guidelines to make your life easier.
Plumbing Supply – A Better Technique to buy Them Online
It is obvious that some times we have to face problems in our house and the most common of them is plumbing problems. It has also been noticed that people feel a lot of trouble while repairing these products at home on their own. Moreover, searching for an expert mechanic for this kind of repairing is quite difficult for most of the people.
Therefore, experts suggest that finding plumbing supplies through online search engines is quite easy and helpful. Most of the people including me also tried this technique and found it quite handy. All you have to do is to search a perfect site and make deals with the dealer regarding plumbing supplies and other useful items that are necessary for plumbing.
To tell you the truth, searching and buying such products from online stores is not a bad idea or it is not such a difficult task to find appropriate items. Fortunately, there are hundreds of websites easily available on internet and you can find a large variety of plumbing supplies without any difficulty. Different plumbing gears are available on these online stores and the price range of these products is also affordable. Thus, online searching and buying of plumbing gears is the best solution for those who can not visit shop to buy such type of items.
To make our job easier, contact Douglas Orr Plumbing and you can surely depend on this experienced and most reputable plumbing company in Dade County Florida for all your plumbing concerns.

VectorVest Reviews
About VectorVest
VectorVest (www.VectorVest.com) founded by Dr. Bart DiLiddo is a stock analysis and portfolio management system. The software is capable of sorting, analyzing, and ranking over 15 thousand stocks.
Once the data is collected the software issues buy, hold, or sell signals based on an evaluation of the market alongside a stock's value, safety, and timing. Ideally, as the trader you act on this information to make the best possible decision and consistently trade for a profit.
Based on the variety and depth of information the software estimates the best strategy for the day/week, showing you whether the conditions are bearish or bullish. In addition to the charts and tools provided by VectorVest, investors are invited to free online training classes and presentations in the VectorVest University.
There are also free 4hr training sessions in select cities throughout the year, a five-CD seminar video set, and a course workbook (free with an annual subscription), covering all aspects of the software from beginner to advanced levels. In addition, there are many on and offline support groups for VectorVest users.

124 'VectorVest' Reviews
Vector Vest: Not recommended
Took a year's subscription to test it: the algorithms and charting info they use make their 'top stocks' a highly volatile list - not easy to get a sense of which companies are fundamentally sounds and worth staying with despite movement.
There is no Australian customer service to speak of: the number for Aus customers is misleading as it does not function during Aus business hours.
Also be careful with auto-renewals - they do them even when you have set your account to 'no' and it is hard work getting your money back and you won't get all of it.
Nothing here that you can't find with local programs, and better to have local service available during business hours.
Don't Have an Issue With Vectorvest
I've read the negative reviews and I'm shocked. Maybe I've just been lucky but bought Vectorvest analysis of stocks for $10.00, started following their recommendations (a very good tutorial with their program) and sold my existing languishing holdings replacing them with Vectorvest recommendations and have made nothing but money. Certainly the negative reviews have given me a rise of concern.
It's a scam company that charges your credit car without any authorization
Be careful with providing your credit card information to this company. They ask to submit your credit card information for a free trial, yet they STILL charge your credit card.
I have registered for a free trial, discovered that it was not compatible with my machine, contacted and canceled my subscription right away (even though it was a "free" trial). They said they have taken care of that, yet my credit card has still been charged.
Useful analysis , I learned a lot from the facts . Does someone know if my company might acquire a sample CO DoR 104 form to use ?
Stock investing ain't easy, but VV makes it so.
I read some of the negative reviews about VV and I felt similarly when I first joined: in fact, I thought they were scammers, I did not do well with the system, I could not get a straight answer from tech support, etc.
Then, after about 6 months, I learned the concept and started losing less money. I manage a large portfolio, so as you can figure out, I stand to loose a lot of money.
After one year of doing this, I started leading a support group and got some one on one advice from other users who really know their stuff and have done very well with the program.
After a couple years of using this program. I don't lose money, but.actually have done OK in this horrible market condition.
Here's how: I set up my own portfolios and turned "Genius" on so that I can see some of my investment strategies happening real time, right before my eyes. I constantly change, delete or create new portfolios in paper money. What i finally realized is that the strength of this system is its ability to choose stocks for you and trade them based on your custom system. You can see how well your strategy works and use the most successful strategies to trade in your real portfolio.
W-O-W Watch-list Winners found RYI (Reyerson Holdings) an amazing stock that just keeps going up and up.I actually made $188,000 in 3 months with a $550,000 paper portfolio using this trading system. This actually happened before my very eyes.
I have now incorporated RYI in my actual portfolio and have been doing very well with it and many other stocks I hove found through Vector Vest.
Bottom line: most of the negative reviews came from people who never learned the system or even gave it a chance. You really need to try it for at least 6 months trading in the paper money portfolios before you can really learn and understand the value and power of this trading system.
Vector Vest Proprietary Indicators are Dangerous to your Financial Health.ng
Not only do they not work, they will lose you money. As often as not the bottom VST Stocks outperforms the Top (recommended) stocks. Also if you follow their buy/sell recommendations you will almost always be trading a lot and losing more money than otherwise. It is well presented snake oil.
Can't be too good.
My review is geared more towards the company, their ethics and confidence in their own product. I purchased the trial and never even logged in. They acknowledged that I had not used the product. Once the trial was over, my credit card was billed for the monthly charge. I know this was in the fine print, my responsibility, etc.. However, If they had the greatest trading method out there, why would they care about 137.00 from a client that NEVER even tried the product. This type of internet profit, sucking people in to make a quick buck, is not ethical business. If they need that money so bad, their system must suck! Basically, the people leading this company have no integrity.
The best market timing system I have ever seen
They have an incredible market timing system, model portfolios, back testing facilities, support, and training.
I have learnt more from them in one year than from multiple subscriptions to advisories over 5 years.
I have never come across a more helpful, thorough system.
The best thing is they don't tell you what to do, they teach you and show you the facts and you have to make your own decisions.
If you do the homework, watch their training videos, and put in the effort, they will make you a professional trader.
I cannot give them enough stars.
They don't give you the fish they teach you how to fish.
There is a reason they have been operating since the 1980's
The best system I have come across in 25 years of studying the stock market
The best system I have come across in 25 years of studying the stock market1
Oh yeah, that review doesn't sound planted or anything.
Quite right, this is not an automatic system or newsletter that tells you what to do. \it is a system that gives you 3 amazing stats on every stock, every day. They estimate the value of the stock to compare with the price. Ever heard of Value Investing. Here is the calculations done for you.
Based on fundamental factors they calculate the inner strength of a company and put that into one simple number. There is you date on the fundamentals done for you.
Thirdly they estimate momentum or timing and that should never be ignored. This includes Technical Analysis.
Those three calculations alone, done daily, make this an very important program. There is more.
of course I'm concerned that the positive reviews were planted, but seriously I've had a great run in the past three weeks based on their recommendations.
Don't waste your money on the trial.
When they say buy the stock falls, when they say short it the stock goes up. They could do better by using a Ouija Board. You will lose your shirt if you follow their advise. I was so mad when I wrote the first review I misspelled some words. That is how upset they made me !!!!!
how well did VV see Aug 24 2015????
ok, as S and P went sideways much of 2015, how well did VV give heads up the week before Aug 24th? where S and P/U S equities dropped 8 to 10%.. the red, yellow, green stop light, and daily summary, did it give a good heads up there was good chance of correction? not VV stating in Jan 2015, 2015 may have correction... but the week before Aug 24th? your inputs/ replies to this.. I just signed up.. as S and P tried to retest the Aug 25th lows.. (1867) on Monday.. (Sept 28, 2015).. thanks for you insights those who are VV users now.
There are several timing methods on Vector Vest.. The long term is called Confirmed CAlls. These are up or down. The Market Timeng graph show Confirmed call down on July 2nd, 2015 so you would be in confirmed down call territory on August 24th. The Buy/Sell ration went to the favour of Sell on June 24th and did not reverse that all the way through August. The MTI - Market Timing Indicator went below 1.0 from June 25th forward of 2015. Relative Timing - of RT - the measure of momentum went below 1.0 on April 29th. RT went below .95 on June 17th. Below .92 on July 22nd. By August 20th, 2015 the RT went deeper below 1.0 to .84. This is all apparent on the Market Timing graph. For those using the Derby which ranks the 190 stock picking strategies to choose the best you would be seeing the change in the Buy/Sell ratio and the Long stock picking strategies would get into the top to strategies and the Long strategies would drop out of the top 10. So these signals would have told you well before August 24th to get out of long strategies and into short. Lots of advance warning on the market direction.
great concept and information, no performance
The concept of buying safe stocks, with good value at the right time is GREAT. the format of the product in presenting lots of information is wonderful. The HYPE is that high VST stocks out perform the market. They keep changing systems and touting great back tested performance.
It is easy to set up paper trade portfolios. After much frustration, I decided to set up portfolios with a few auto trader functions for conservative, moderate and aggressive investors and see how it does.
If I had a Time Machine
If I had a time machine I could be a multimillionaire many times over. Warren Buffet and Bill Gates might get jealous. The reason for this is that the Vectorvest software is great on finding stocks in the past that if you had held them until the present, would yield outrageous returns. Finding one or two of these gets you sucked into testing more and more until one becomes fantastic at stock picking, using 20/20 vision. Unfortunately I don't have access to a TARDIS or Time Tunnel to put myself back to the particular day to make the initial investment. Besides, quantum physics being what it is, my being invested then would change the investment distribution as it existed at that time, possibly skewering it just enough to land me right back in the pauper's house.
The general principle to be aware of is this, assuming, for argument's sake, that Bart DiLiddo came up with an absolutely foolproof way to make money in the stock market. Since any such "systems" often work by exploiting an inefficiency until it becomes widely known, wouldn't it be in his best interest to keep it a secret and become wealthy himself? If he had done so, he could afford to give his system away, not needing the money himself.
Save your money. Another 20 page or so oversized spiel to go in the recycling bucket.
Thankfully VectorVest keeps adding tools so what was good for Bart DiLiddo in the 1980's keeps getting better.
I agree that it is easier to create a system that works in a back test then one that works forward. The market is a wild woman and not easy to pin down.
What if you had a tool - The Derby - that ranked each of the published stock selection systems on a day by day and week by week basis?
This is Bart DiLiddo's master stroke of genius and programming. Each week they publish which of the 190 systems if making the most money that week. The market is now pointing you to use right then, right now you might say.
New user to Vector Vest!!
I have only been using Vector Vest for just over 2 weeks but have known about it for about 5 years. My only regret is that I didn't start using this earlier.
You have to watch the videos even multiple time if necessary to better understand the system.
You cannot expect to be successful at trading unless your willing to spend the time and do market research. This tool has shown me the importance of having proper stop loss and watching confirmed calls and the importance of you stock crossing below the 40 day moving average.
This system does not point you directly to stock that's at bottom that is going to swing up. That's up to me to plug my bottom predictions in. Now I have VV as the primary tool to evaluate these stocks and see signals that show relative timing.
I looking forward to using this system. Now I can adjust my sails. I can only say that the negative reviews I've seen on this forum are from people who shouldn't be trading to begin with. A bunch of amateurs!
Now having used it for the last 60 days I am now up 6% YTD overall. This is a great tool.
So that was two months' worth. How are you doing now?
I tried this vector vest out on a trail bases I followed one of their recommended stocks and sold at a loss when they suggested hold and buy.
why is this company not investigated by security regulators.
I for one will find that answer out.
maybe a class action is needed to be taken against these people.
That's because you don't know what you are doing. It's not the club, it the clubee!!
You are lazy you haven't watched their training videos you are playing chess without learning the rules first
Maria is right. This is not a snap. Sorry.
There is good training and it is necessary to work your way through those once or twice.
There is good support coaching. it is good to keep in touch with your ideas.
There are local user groups. You can learn by attending.
This is a teach a man to fish type system, not a magic pill.
VectorVest is a great idea generator
I use VectorVest to work out which pond to fish in. Once you narrow this down, you still need to know how to fish: how to enter, manage, and exit a trade.
If you haven't learnt how to fish, finding the right pond won't really help you.
I agree that VV is probably best as an idea generator. Unfortunately it's sold as a magic stock picking system.
Sorry Dan, it is sold a system that requires learning, coaching and attending training. It must be used with intelligence, wisdom, training and coaching not alone as a magic stock picking system.
They sell Hope
VectorVest keeps showing strategies that works great in the past. They find the time period it works best and uses it to fool people in their strategy of the week.
It is like saying if you bought the lottery with the following numbers last week, you would have made 10000% profit.
After using VV for over 10 years, I have not seen better performance compared to buying multiple mutual funds.
If you have the stomach for 40% drawdown, then you can make money on good years with strategies that buys stocks less than $5.
Ratings don't correlate with performance
I subscribed to VectorVest around 1999. I compared their ratings with performance of the stocks, and found no correlation. That is, their buy recommendations performed no better than the average stock, and their sell recommendations performed no worse than the average stock.
Based on my analysis, I decided that there was no value to VV, and cancelled my subscription.
I like it
Using Vectorvest has been very profitable for me so far. Grant in, when the market collapses no one will come out ahead unless you have the courage to play the market to the downside, but if it is going sideways or up, or even taking a minor dip, it has leveraged my profits tremendously.
It is highly configurable and I find that very often, when the sell recommendation is given, it is very often the worst time to sell if other indicators are slightly positive. For the prudent investor however it might be good to get out on their recommendation and get into something else to limit potential losses.
I have found their customer service pretty good for the most part but there is one guy on there that is quite a bore and has the articulation of a Homo habilis, but usually they are quite prompt in answering and are eager to help. VV actually encourages the use of the phone in help service.
Their Live Events are interesting, cost effective, relaxed and informative and I attend them whenever I learn of them coming to my area.
They also have a user group in my area which is small but has some long-term members. They are informative and a great way to network and get ideas.
All that being said there are certain basic trading rules and styles which have to be learned by the school of hard knocks and that can take years to learn which style best suits your emotional makeup. Some people are just not cut out to be traders/investors.
I probably wouldn't use this product unless you have at least $5000 to $25,000 to invest at minimum, but you know I still see some people thinking they can make money on buying 25 shares @ $2.00 each. There is no panacea for simple common sense.
One thing I wish they had more opportunities for providing feedback. You are allowed only 5 suggestions. They really ought to open an email-line for unlimited suggestions. I find that frustrating as the easy to understand program has the odd annoyance.
One feature that it really lacks is the ability to reconcile your portfolio. This isn't unlike other online portfolio managers like Yahoo, but when I try and duplicate my real account I often find myself getting the message "you don't have enough cash in the account for that", probably because it doesn't account for recent unposted dividend payments. If you make a mistake you'll never find it because of this lacking feature. They should allow you to overdraft your portfolio, just like any accounting software. Instead they enforce strict rules that prevents you from doing this and that's a pain too.
Why don't you just deposit more funds to your portfolio? After all this is a tool and no real world money is involved anyway.
keep going to the "live events" where you meet experienced investors who may share some of their knowledge with you. As you gain experience, you will see that you can do just as well without VectorVest. - Good luck to you!
Dont give your money to Vectorvest!!!
I'm Glad I can leave a real review so I can warn people not to get sucked into vectorvest's lies. Don't waist years of your time and thousands of dollars like I did to only find out this company is a huge scam. Vectorvest's business model is to come up with back tested strategies to lure people in with promises of large returns by using their system(timing system, buy/sell system, sure fire success system, yellow brick road system, etc) there is a new system every week once the old system completely fails. They modify their data to make people think they can make money my spending $600 a year for their software. I 100% guarantee you will lose money if you follow any advice/system of vectorvest. I waisted 3 years and lost over 25k and trust me I spent hundreds of hours backtesting and using strict rules(vectorvest rules) to buy and sell stocks. I know I got suckered, at least I learned and now hopefully I can save someone else's heard earned money. As tempting as VV's adds sound, PLEASE to fall for their lies.
TOO good to be true ! Eh!
A question really.
Any way for me to test your belief that they change the data used in the back tests? I am using VectorVest and don't want to get scammed
I agree 100 percent! For example, if the so.called Surefire Success System,
When the system recommends shorting a stock, it has yet to be a stock that Ameritrade allows a short. I would be a couple of Knicks richer had I never subscribed to VV. I do much better on my own.

If you have the stomach for 40% drawdown, then you can make money on good years with strategies that buys stocks less than $5.
For a prudent investor you may see 10% return which is similar to mutual fund.
Thank You so much..your comment has me making a more informed decision about VV, your experience in using VV cannot be overlooked & not heard. May I ask, do what system do you use now or do you just use your own strategies? Please contact me at firstname.lastname@example.com
Shameless hype combined with useful data
First off, you have to acknowledge the obvious: Dr. Bart DiLiddo is something of a huckster. His marketing approach is to hype his product to the skies, make ridiculous claims, cherry-pick his results and lure in the unsuspecting and inexperienced. (Let's face it, this crass approach sells a lot better than spewing out complex analyses and stressing risk factors.)
That said, I'm convinced the information provided can be used profitably so long as you de-emphasize high-risk market timing approaches and instead seek to gain the net difference between a beta-adjusted long portfolio of undervalued stocks and a short portfolio of overvalued stocks. In other words, if you design a classic hedge fund (this strategy is where the term "hedge fund" came from).
You can't just do this fire-and-forget. It takes off-line research to skim out VV misinformation, some daily Excel work, risk management techniques, etc. You won't make a lot of money if you neutralize the market delta but you can in theory make a small but steady return and avoid big losses in all market conditions (except bubbles where wildly overvalued stocks just go higher and higher).
Use the data not the recommendations and you will do ok
The worst part of the VV software is the Home page with the `creepy' looking picture of the creative doctor himself! I am enjoying using the software during a free trial, actually liking a lot of the ridiculous hype, but it's just another tool. One should use many tools in investment analysis.

Chin Implant
Chin Implant WORTH IT RATING* DETAILS
in the last 24 months
in the last 12 months
over all time
A chin implant is one of two ways the chin may be reshaped through surgery. The other, called sliding genioplasty, uses your own bone to augment the chin and therefore doesn't involve inserting a synthetic implant under the skin. Chin augmentations are often performed at the same time as rhinoplasty to have the most impact on your profile. LEARN MORE ›

It's toxic in large quantity. Why would you have a lot of mustard seed?
I guess it doesn't matter why. I'd avoid feeding mustard. If they eat some no big deal at all but wouldn't intentionally feed it. Lowest lethal dose recorded for cow is 300 grams. Some cows could eat up to 500 grams. Why is there data on such things? Crazy and cruel things are done in the name of science. Don't even get me started on salt overdoses for chickens. You don't want to know what was done. Suffice to say salt is needed for every living thing and the methods used to overdose birds was ridiculous. What's funny is people today think salt is bad for birds. That's false.

1. Field of Invention
The present invention relates to drilling systems and shafts therefore and, more particularly, is directed towards a system with a flexible shaft for drilling holes in the roof of a mine.
2. Description of the Prior Art
In the mining industry, falls of mine roofs account for a large percentage of the fatalities that occur in coal mines. Thus, roof control has been a major safety and production consideration. Roof fall fatalities have been greatly reduced in cases where the mine roof is supported with roof bolts that are inserted into holes which are drilled into the mine roof using a drill that is attached to a rigid shaft. As the holes become progressively deeper, the mine worker adds extension sections to the drill shaft. Such an operation requires the worker to be at the head of a roof drilling machine for starting the hole, for adding sections and for inserting the bolts.
U.S. Pat. No. 4,057,115 discloses a flexible shaft for a roof drill with a helically wound inner rod of circular cross section and a helically wound outer band of rectangular cross section. The rod and band are disposed coaxially about an inner sleeve. The round surface of the circular rod provides only line contact, whereby the contact between adjacent turns of the rod is minimal. Minimal contact of adjacent turns of the circular rod tends to permit slippage therebetween and limited strength in axial compression. Due to the foregoing, flat band on circular rod flexible shafts have been met with varying degrees of success.
It is an object of the present invention to provide a flexible shaft which does not suffer from the heretofore mentioned disadvantages.
Another object of the present invention is to provide a flexible shaft for a roof drilling system.
A further object of the invention is to provide a flexible shaft for drilling holes in the roof of a mine, the holes being of significantly greater length than the height of the mine. The flexible shaft is characterized by a pair of flat bands, each of which is formed into a helical configuration. One of the flat bands defines an outer spring and the other flat band defines an inner spring. The outer flat band is wound left handed into the helical configuration with adjacent convolutions in nesting relationship and the inner flat band is wound right handed into the helical configuration with adjacent convolutions in nesting relationship. The bands are coaxially mounted with the inner surface of the outer band in close proximity with the outer surface of the inner band. One end of the flexible shaft carries a transition member having a socket that is adapted to hold a drill bit. The other end of the flexible shaft is configured to be engaged by a driving mechanism which applies torque and thrust to the shaft during the drilling operation. When torque and thrust are applied to the flexible shaft, the outer spring tends to contract inwardly and the inner spring tends to expand outwardly, the flat surface of the outer spring bears firmly against the flat surface of the inner spring to provide a relatively rigid shaft.
Other objects of the present invention will in part be obvious and will in part appear hereinafter.
The invention accordingly comprises the apparatuses and systems, together with their parts, elements and interrelationships that are exemplified in the following disclosure, the scope of which will be indicated in the appended claims.
A fuller understanding of the nature and objects of the present invention will become apparent upon consideration of the following detailed description taken in connection with the accompanying drawings, wherein:
FIG. 1 is a plan view, partly in section, of a drilling system having a flexible shaft embodying the invention;
FIG. 2 is a perspective view, partly cutaway, showing the flexible shaft of FIG. 1; and
FIG. 3 is a plan view, partly in section, of an alternate embodiment of the flexible shaft of FIG. 1.
Referring now to the drawings, particularly FIG. 1, there is shown a system for remote drilling of holes in a mine for roof support, the holes being of significantly greater length than the mine height. The holes are drilled by means of a rock bit 12 that is received in a transition member 14 on one end of a flexible shaft 16 which is significantly longer than the mine height. A chuck 18 of a driver 20 captively holds flexible shaft 16 intermediate its ends. The portion of flexible shaft 16 below driver 20 is slidably and rotatably received within a rigid annular guide 22 that is attached to the lower end of driver 20. The other end of guide 22 is connected to a suction device 24, for example a vacuum pump, via a flexible tube 26 for removal of chips during the drilling operation. Driver 20 is connected to a base 28, for example a wheeled vehicle, by means of a lifting mechanism 30. Driver 20 applies torque and thrust to flexible shaft 16 for advancement of rock bit 12. Lifting mechanism 30 supports driver 20. When driver 20 and lifting mechanism 30 are energized, chuck 18 rotates and cutting edges 32 of rock bit 12 chips away at the formation above the mine roof. The removed chips are sucked into a hollow core 34 of flexible shaft 16 through bores 36 and 38 in rock bit 12 and transition member 14, respectively. As rock bit 12 progresses, lifting mechanism 30 advances the rock bit further into the hole. As hereinafter described, flexible shaft 16 becomes rigid when torque is applied to it.
Referring now to FIG. 2, it will be seen that flexible shaft 16 is a cylindrical structure comprised of three concentric members which include an outer spring or casing 40, an intermediate spring or casing 42 and an inner sleeve 44. Outer casing 40, a flat band 46 composed of spring steel and having a substantially rectangular profile in right cross section, is wound into a helical configuration. As best shown in FIG. 1, an upper flat edge 48 of band 46 and a lower flat edge 50 of band 46 are in nesting relationship on adjacent convolutions of band 46. The inner and outer faces of outer casing 40 are flat and in spaced parallel relationship to each other. In the illustrated embodiment, the outside diameter of outer casing is 1.040 inches, the thickness of band 46 is 0.125 inch and the width of band 46 is 0.375 inch. Intermediate casing 42, a flat band 52 composed of spring steel and having a substantially rectangular profile in right cross section, is wound into a helical configuration. As best shown in FIG. 1, a flat upper edge 54 of band 52 and a lower flat edge 56 of band 52 are in nesting on adjacent convolutions of band 52. The inner and outer faces of outer casing 42 are flat and in spaced parallel relationship to each other. In the illustrated embodiment, the thickness of band 52 is 0.125 inch and the width of band 46 is 0.375 inch. Band 46 is wound into its helical configuration in a first direction and band 52 is wound into its helical configuration in a second direction. The first direction being opposite the second direction. In the illustrated embodiment, band 46 is wound left handed and band 52 is wound right handed. The inner surface of outer casing 40 is in contact with the outer surface of intermediate casing 42. Inner sleeve 44 is a tubular member composed of an elastomer, for example rubber. In alternate embodiments, the upper and lower edges of bands 46 and 52 have mating faces that are other than flat. For example, in FIG. 3, there is shown an alternate embodiment of flexible shaft 16 in the form of a flexible shaft 16' having an outer spring 40' and an intermediate spring 42'. Outer spring 42' is a flat band 46' composed of spring steel with an upper concave edge 48' and a lower convex edge 50', edges 48' and 50' being in nesting relationship on adjacent convolutions. Intermediate spring 42' is a flat band 52' composed of spring steel with an upper concave edge 54' and a lower convex edge 56', edges 54' and 56' being in nesting relationship on adjacent convolutions.
The oppositely wound bands 46 and 52 are operative to make flexible shaft 16 relatively rigid when torque and thrust are applied thereto. Outer casing 40 tends to contract inwardly and intermediate casing 42 tends to expand outwardly upon application of torque and thrust to flexible shaft 16, the inner face of band 46 and the outer face of band 52 bearing on each other. Although it is not known with certainty, it is believed that the bulk of the torque transmitted to flexible shaft 16 is carried by outer casing 40 and the bulk of the thrust applied to the flexible shaft is borne by intermediate casing 42. Due to the flat-on-flat configuration of flexible shaft 16, a surface-to-surface contact is established between outer casing 40 and intermediate casing 42. Such surface-to-surface contact provides improved performance of flexible shaft 16 over that provided by the surface-to-line contact of a flat-to-round flexible shaft. Intermediate casing 42 is stronger in axial compression because contact between adjacent turns of band 52 is over a flat area. A circular rod provides line contact between adjacent turns which results in less strength in axial compression. The flat surface-to-surface contact between adjacent turns of band 52 inhibits the tendency for the coils to slip over each other when flexible shaft 16 is in axial compression. The line-to-line contact of adjacent turns of a circular cross-sectional rod enhances slippage of adjacent convolutions over each other. Also, since torsional stiffness of intermediate casing 42 is dependent upon the radius at which the material in band 52 is distributed, a flat cross section tends to provide more material at a larger radius and hence more torsional stiffness than a circular cross section of equal area. Accordingly, the flat cross section of intermediate casing 42 has a larger inner diameter than a casing of circular cross section having equivalent torsional stiffness. The large interior diameter of intermediate casing 42 is desirable to provide area for flushing air and/or chip removal. In certain applications, due to the area contact between adjacent turns of band 52, a tubular channel suitable for carrying flushing air and/or chips at low pressure is formed by the interior surface of band 52 and inner sleeve 44 is not required.
As previously indicated, outer casing 40, intermediate casing 42 and inner casing 44 are disposed coaxially about a longitudinal axis of shaft 16 and extend the length of the shaft. The upper edge of outer casing 40 and the upper edge of intermediate casing 42 are welded to the bottom surface of transition member 14. A shank 57 of rock bit 12 is received in a mating socket 58 of transition member 40, shank 57 being held therein by means of a fastener 59, for example a pin. Bores 36 and 38 extend from the working end of rock bit 12 to the bottom surface of transition member 14 and connect with central core 34 of flexible shaft 16. Central core 34 and bores 36, 38 define a continuous passage that communicates with vacuum pump 24 via flexible tube 26 for removing chips during the drilling operation. When driver 20 is energized during the drilling operation, torque and thrust are applied to shaft 16 which is captively held intermediate its ends in chuck 18 during the drilling operation. Lifting mechanism 30 includes a pair of upper arms 60 and a pair of lower arms 62, and a pair of actuators 64. It is to be noted that only one of each pair of arms and one actuator is shown in the plan view of FIG. 1. One end of upper arm 60 is pivotally mounted to a bracket 66 by means of a pin 68, bracket 66 being mounted to driver 20. The other end of upper arm 60 is pivotally mounted via a pin 70 to a boss 72 that is mounted to a frame 74 of wheeled vehicle 28. Actuator 64, for example a hydraulic actuator, is pivotally mounted to arm 58 and a boss 76 that is attached to frame 74. A hydraulic power supply 78 is provided in wheeled vehicle 28 for hydraulic actuator 64. One end of lower arm 62 is pivotally mounted to a boss 80 on frame 74 by means of a pin 82. The other end of lower arm 62 is pivotally mounted to bracket 66 by means of a pin 84. It is to be understood that the other ones of the pairs of arms 60 and 62 are connected to wheeled vehicle 28 and driver 20 in a similar manner. Also, the other one of the pair of hydraulic actuators 64 is operatively connected to wheeled vehicle 28 and the other one of the pair of arms 60 in the manner previously described. The upper arms, lower arms and hydraulic actuators are interconnected to work in unison. Vehicle 28 is provided with four wheels 86, two of which are shown, that are drivingly connected to a drive mechanism 88 which, preferably, is controlled remotely. Also, in the preferred embodiment, driver 20 is controlled from a remote source.
In operation, wheeled vehicle 28 is positioned in the mine at a location where the roof bolt hole is to be drilled. It is preferred that the height of wheeled vehicle 28 is twenty-six inches or less. When vehicle 28 is in position, driver 20 is actuated and shaft 16 is rotated. As the drilling of the roof bolt hole progresses, driver 20 urges rock bit 12 deeper into the formation being drilled. The direction of rotation of chuck 18 is such that outer casing 40 tends to contact inwardly and intermediate casing 42 tends to expand outwardly for axial stability of shaft 16. That is, chuck rotates in a direction that is opposite to the direction in which band 46 is wound and in the same direction in which band 52 is wound. The free end of shaft 16 is contained within guide 22. The chips of rock formation are drawn from the roof bolt hole by vacuum pump 24. After lifting mechanism 30 reaches its upper limit, shaft 16 is released from chuck 18. It is to be noted that shaft 16 is frictionally held in the roof bolt hole and does not drop downwardly. Next, lifting mechanism 30 is lowered to its lower limit and chuck 18 captively engages a lower section of shaft 16 and so on.
Since certain changes may be made in the foregoing disclosure without departing from the scope of the invention herein involved, it is intended that all matter contained in the above description and depicted in the accompanying drawings be construed in an illustrative and not in a limiting sense.

How to Turn Unused Jewelry into a Dream Vacation
People are always asking me what are some ways to afford traveling, well I've found your answers, ladies and gentleman!
Ever wanted to travel the world, but couldn't afford it? I'm always trying to figure out new ways to make more money and be able to travel even more so than I already do.
I recently stumbled upon a website called Worthy.com. Worthy is a secure online auction marketplace that specializes in helping women sell their diamonds. They are trustworthy, honest and very helpful every step of the way..
Think about this ladies, how many of us have gotten jewelry from an ex-boyfriend and after breaking up, never wanted to wear it again and it just sits in some box somewhere in our room, hidden away. Any ladies get engaged in the past and things just didn't work out and you kept the ring, but have no real use for it anymore? Or did you buy yourself a piece of jewelry you've outgrown? Or left with only one diamond stud earring? Maybe you've even gone through a divorce and are ready to part ways with your old wedding band or engagement ring.
In the game of life things happen for better or for worse, but how about taking that diamond jewelry, selling it and starting a new chapter in your life, or just for the sake of having some extra cash and investing it on your next dream vacation.
Worthy's consumer driven, data-rich platform identifies the market value of your diamond. Worthy puts you, the seller in control, setting the auction reserve and saying yes (or no) to the auction. The Worthy Auction allows for multiple bids per item, extending the reach and selling opportunity to buyers around the world. The entire process, from initial market value to the final bid, is conducted with full transparency and honesty, providing you with real-time updates every step of the way.
I have the travel bug, which most people get after taking their first great vacation. The moment you start traveling and exploring this amazing world, you just never want to stop. So stop dreaming of your next great vacation and make it happen. Sometimes traveling is the best way to mend a broken heart. Even if you didn't go through a breakup or divorce, selling old diamond jewelry can be your next step into finally going on that dream vacation you've always wanted.
Think about this, what would you do if you had an extra $3000, $5000 or even $10,000 lying around? You can definitely travel to Europe for 2 weeks with that money or to Asia even longer!
Worthy.com will find you the best buyer in 7 days, guaranteed! Their goal is to get you the most money for your diamond rings. Hassle-free, they handle all the logistics and follow up with you through emails.
How it works
All you have to do is visit Worthy.com and hit "tell me what my ring is worth". Next, you will create a login account and register your name, email and phone number. After that, you select which item you are looking to sell, ring, earring, necklace, etc. You will then describe your item. After that just click "Get Quote" and a representative from Worthy will contact you shortly. It's really as easy as that.
Once you're ready to send in your jewelry, Worthy fully insures the item and covers shipping costs to send it to their NYC office where Worthy cleans, photographs and submits the diamond for grading by a top lab before sending it to auction. Once the auction is over, the user is in full control of accepting the top bid. Within days, the user has the money deposited into their account.
They have also recently launched their first annual Worthy Women's Professional Studies Scholarship. The new scholarship program supports and encourages women to renew, re-imagine and re-launch their lives as they restart. Worthy is offering multiple scholarships of up to $2,500 per recipient to women pursuing a new career. To qualify, applicants must be enrolled at, or accepted to, a Professional Studies Program at an accredited college or university in the United States for the 2016-2017 school year. Candidates will be assessed based on the following criteria: subject & content relevancy to new career and their new chosen career path. Submissions will also be evaluated based on applicant essays, which require candidates to offer meaningful and thoughtful response to essay questions.
Ready to make your next dream vacation come true! Head on over to Worthy.com
*Thank you to Worthy.com for sponsoring today's post and inspiring me to dream around the world! As always, my opinions are of my own.

Deirdre Toomey, 11494
Move Better Massage
After a series of structural integration sessions, Deirdre Toomey was finally able to move gracefully and with less pain than before. This experience—coupled with her lifelong fascination with the healing arts—inspired her to pursue a career in massage therapy. Though she has since graduated from the Body Therapy Institute, she continues to pursue advanced studies in neuromuscular therapy and medical massage. During each massage session, Deirdre facilitates relaxation with a medley of myofascial and hot-stone techniques and relieves pain by targeting trigger points with deep-tissue massage and stretches. She also helps clients regain mobility by liberating joints and releasing adhesions that prevent muscles from extending fully. In addition to kneading tense tissues, Deirdre teaches her clients how to use movement-therapy techniques at home and offers ergonomic tips to make sitting at a desk or hanging off the window ledge outside your boss's office more comfortable.

text: Ok, so as a fulltimer, I dont have a landline, so I rely on a Toshiba Satellite laptop with a Vodafone 3G datacard which we pay £20 a month for so many squigabytes! (Don't ask me!, I just use it! ) My limit is already running down and its only the 14th - been a tad busy! So, everybody is always talikg about free wifi hotspots but I've never used one and wouldn't know how. I know that people have been prosecuted for linking onto unsecure conections but if it's advertised as a free wifi hotspot (like the one I've found at my local Mcdonalds in Congleton) , can I just go down there and fire up my lap top at thier expense and if so how would I do it? I would, of course, feel obliged to go in and at least have a coffee (even if I hate thier carpet burgers!)............besides, it's nippy in the car at this time of year!

Interpreters of the book of Jonah understand the characterisation of Jonah, and hence the meaning of the book, in a variety of ways. These interpretive models may be categorised under seven headings: Jonah as Pinocchio, psychotic, Prometheus, fall-guy, patriot, prophet, and reluctant missionary. They reflect the spectrum of opinions regarding whether Jonah ultimately serves as a positive or negative example. How one decides this issue depends on the interpreter?s understanding of the larger group whom Jonah represents. In turn, this will largely determine what is perceived as the main message of the book. Thus the surface-level question driving this investigation is, how is the reader to understand the character of Jonah? The aim of this book is to set forth the value of knowing conventions of setting, plot and characterisation. Awareness of and attention to these factors hold the promise for more nuanced understanding both of Jonah as well as other narratives of the Hebrew Bible.

One of the most common goals for a small business 401(k) plan is maximizing owner contributions up to the legal limit - $60,000 for 2017 (assuming employee catch-up contributions). Often, the cheapest way to meet this goal is using a new comparability profit sharing contribution. Unlike other types of 401(k) profit sharing, these contributions permit an employer to allocate multiple contribution rates to different employee groups – making larger contribution rates to business owners possible.

Being a small letterpress shop, we are obliged to send out an annual holiday card to our clients and friends. For a few years, we did silly graphics of our face in festive green and red colors, but this year's business picked up so quickly that we realized that printing and getting our own cards out by December 25th would be nearly impossible.
As soon as we realized there was no way to get our own cards out in time, we quickly pivoted to a new years theme. Given that 2015 is the year of the goat, and that goats are a classic heavy metal motif, we thought we'd jump at the opportunity to do a large calendar using blackletter typography.
Our paper of choice for this print was Neenah's Wild card stock. We chose a 166lb weight to help create a "bite" impression in the print and a legal size cut so that the finished product would stand out amongst the many mail pieces our friend receive during the holidays.
The first step in our process was to create a photopolymer plate of the images that we intended to transfer to the paper. This photopolymer plate was then transferred to a metal base that raises the plate to "type high," the height which wood and metal type was originally placed onto the vintage press.
After the image was set into position, we began printing the first color. We had initially inked up the press with a gold ink, but changed our minds after the fifth or sixth print. We kept a few to give of the golden stylized typography for posterity before switching to a lighter, metallic silver.
Black ink was used as a second color for the "2015″ headline, stylized into the shape of a goat's head, followed by gold ink for the months and roman numerals in the headline.
Despite it's name, SF Letterpress is relief print shop in Oakland, California run by boyfriends Shaun Osburn and Michael Vilayvong. They specialize in gig posters, album covers and curate their own line of sometimes inappropriate stationary.
