As a beginning " Information Broker " I concur that Information Brokers
should most definately be held accountable for their actions, as crazy as
this may sound I know many brokers who operate WITHOUT ANY LIABILITY
INSURANCE, even crazier is that one of these individuals is an Attorney
based in Florida. When I ask my client the reason for wanting to find
someone I expect a legitimate purpose and document that purpose for future
reference, I have turned down many clients who REFUSE to give me a valid
reason for finding someone. If there are any other Brokers out there like
myself, I would be interested in trading perspective on the Amy Boyer case
as well as the Broker business.

Court Says Information Brokers Can Be Held Liable for Foreseeable Harm
BY MOLLY McDONOUGH
Amy Lynn Boyer hardly knew Liam Youens. They met in an eighth-grade
youth group but didn't become friends. In 10th grade they shared a class,
and he became obsessed with her. After high school, Youens paid more than
$200 to an Internet company for information about her, including her Social
Security number and work address. In October 1999, Youens waited for
20-year-old Boyer after work. He fatally shot her, and then Youens, 21,
committed suicide.
Boyer's mother, Helen Remsburg of Nashua, New Hampshire, sued the
Florida-based company that sold Boyer's personal information to her killer.
Remsburg won a major victory this month when the state supreme court ruled
that information brokers and private investigators who provide information
to stalkers and identity thieves can be held liable for their actions.
"This decision really says there has to be some responsibility in
handling personal information," says Chris Hoofnagle, senior counsel at the
Washington, D.C.-based Electronic Privacy Information Center, which wrote an
amicus brief in the case.
Remsburg claims Docusearch Inc. violated Boyer's privacy. She is
seeking a jury trial. But Docusearch, which works primarily for commercial
clients, including law firms, argues it provided only public information.
The company asked U.S. District Judge Paul Barbadoro to dismiss the suit on
a proximate cause claim, because Youens already had Boyer's home address
when he contacted Docusearch for more information.
Barbadoro passed the case to the New Hampshire Supreme Court to
clarify state law on five points. On Feb. 18, the court issued an opinion
siding with Remsburg on three of the five points. Boyer v. Docusearch Inc.,
No. 2002-255.
The court found first that private investigators and information
brokers are obligated to those about whom they provide information if there
is foreseeable harm, as in cases of stalking and identity theft.
The court also found there is a reasonable expectation of privacy
regarding Social Security numbers, but that work addresses are public.
The court said it is a fact question, though, whether revealing a
Social Security number is "offensive to a person of ordinary sensibilities"
so as to support the tort of intrusion upon seclusion.
The court recognized a cause of action for invasion of privacy by
appropriation of a person's name or likeness, but did not find appropriation
in this case. Docusearch obtained Boyer's Social Security number from a
credit-reporting agency without her permission, but only sold it to Youens
for the value of the information. Appropriation requires proof of taking
advantage of someone's reputation or prestige, the court said. It occurs
most often when a defendant uses a person's name or likeness to advertise a
product or when the defendant impersonates a person for gain.
Finally, the court found that pretextual calls used to obtain and sell
information violate the state's consumer protection laws. Docusearch had
hired an investigator, Michelle Gambino, who called and lied to Boyer to get
her work address. Docusearch had argued pretext was a legitimate
investigative tool.
Gambino's New York City attorney Steve Ross says his client is happy
the court dismissed two of the counts that could have negatively impacted
Gambino: commercial appropriation and intrusion upon seclusion. As for the
issue of pretext, Ross says that as a matter of law Miss Gambino could not
have foreseen the danger that faced Boyer. "We don't believe under the
remaining counts that she is liable in any way," Ross says.
Bedford lawyer Andrew Schulman, who represents Docusearch and other
defendants, declined comment.
Youens created a Web site to keep meticulous logs of his plans to
murder Boyer and possibly her family. He also posted his efforts to locate
additional information about Boyer.
"I found an internet site to do that, and to my surprize everything
else under the Sun. Most importantly: her current employment. It's accually
obsene what you can find out about a person on the internet [sic]," Youens
writes on his Web site, which Boyer's family has maintained at
www.amyboyer.org as part of a memorial and a call to action to fight similar
Youens praises Docusearch on the site for pulling through "amazingly.
... It's like a dream."
The New Hampshire court found that stalking and identity theft are
foreseeable risks that warrant a duty by investigators "to exercise
reasonable care in disclosing" information to a client, especially when "the
investigator does not know the client or the client's purpose in seeking the
Private investigators, who filed their own amicus brief in the case,
are not as upset by the ruling as some expected. Most of a private
investigator's business wouldn't fall into actionable categories.
"The decision didn't say anything that our professional association
doesn't already hold true and dear," says John M. Healy, president of the
New Hampshire League of Investigators. Healy, however, is concerned with how
the decision will be seen and used by the public to promulgate more
restrictive laws. He points out that if private investigators lose the
ability to work effectively, then the legal, insurance and business
communities also will suffer.
"There has to be a balancing act in terms of access to information,"
says Healy, who adds that 90 percent of his business comes from law firms.
"We need privacy, but we have to make sure we don't throw out the baby with
the bathwater."
Healy also distinguished between regulated investigative work and
reselling information. He says legitimate investigators ordinarily wouldn't
disclose a person's whereabouts to a client. "It's legal to do it, but [to
me] that's overstepping the bounds of propriety." Healy says the industry
standard is to give the found person the choice to contact the client.

Will I buy this product again? hello, yes, I buy two at a time in case I lose one. However, I must tell you, the first one I ever bought was awful, it was stale or something, way too dry. But I tried it again, and its everything you want in a lip balm with a delish smell people always compliment. So if you've tried it, and it was off, try it again, I'm so glad I did.

I bought this lip balm several months ago, but hadn't realized until now that my lips actually feel DRYER after wearing Burt's Bees Beeswax Lip Balm. I discovered this after purchasing a lip tint, and for the best application I would apply the lip balm before the lip tint. Well, after a few days of this my lips felt very dry. I stopped using the tint, and continued with the lip balm, thinking this would help the dryness. It didn't. So, I look it up in Paula's book... and YEP this lip balm contains peppermint, which actually dries your lips in the long run.
For now, I'm using Aloe Up Natural Lip Ice, with an SPF 15. It seems to be doing better, but it is not the best, as it contains preservatives.

Burt's Bees Beeswax Lip Balm in the chapstick tube is one of my favorite lip products. I have lips that get dry in sunny & cold weather. I hate my lips without this lip balm, this lip balm is amazing.
I hate the feeling of chapped lips under lipgloss. So I usually apply this under lipgloss. It gives me a smooth base & it makes my lips feel refreshed because of the minty flavour. I also apply this before I go to sleep so I wake up to unchapped lips. I constandly have this in my pocket & I always have this on my lips, neither under lipgloss or just by it's self. I love this smooth minty feeling on my lips. It also makes my lips a bit more pouty, I have notice. Not dramatic pout just a little pout barely noticeable because of the mint.
The packaging of this lip blam comes in two different style. One in a metal round container that you apply with your fingers. Or a chapstick style that doesn't need fingers to apply. I definitely like the chapstick style better because I don't need to coat my fingers in balm. The price for this alright around $4 (Canadian Dollars) for a chapstick or container.
I have been purchasing this product as long as Burt's Bees keep making them. This product is truly amazing. continued >>

I really like this lip balm. For some people the peppermint in it might be too intense, but for me it's not. I actually like it a lot. Made my lips smoother to be honest. Would definitely buy again if I run out =D

If it seems like it's been awhile since the first Utah State-Texas State matchup, it's probably because it has been. The Aggies (19-9, 9-7) and the Bobcats (9-20, 4-12) last met during the opening weekend of WAC play on New Year's Eve in an 81-57 blowout for USU.
A lot has changed since then, specifically with the Utah State lineup. Head coach Stew Morrill views the season in two parts with essentially two different teams.
"There's been a lot of water under the bridge and a lot of things have happened," Morrill said. "I'm watching our first two games with Texas State and UTSA, but it was so long ago and we're playing with different people. Those games from the first weekend of conference are kind of irrelevant."
The team is hopeful that guard Spencer Butterfield can return to the lineup on Thursday night. Butterfield has not been able to play or practice since injuring his hip against Louisiana Tech last week. The junior guard will be a game-time decision on Thursday.
"At least there's a chance," Morrill said. "I thought that when he first went down he was for sure done for the year, just the pain he was in and the magnitude of how the injury looked. It's gotten to feel a little bit better each day, so we're hopeful."
If Butterfield is unable to play, Utah State will only have 36 of the 81 points scored in San Marcos in uniform for the rematch.
Following the game with the Bobcats, the Aggies will stay at home for their final regular season game against UT San Antonio on Saturday night.

Ok, we need to start doing some more wholesome WTF videos, because this, along with the S&M reenactment from the Face Mask video…I'm starting to worry that you might think that we're getting a bit too naughty. That's not the case! We're doing exactly what anyone else would do if they were given these products. Right? Right? I mean, look at the pictures yourselves and tell us that you don't think the same thing. No? You lie! Lie I say! LIE!
Sure, maybe you wouldn't be following the instructions to a tee and doing the motions on video. We realize now, after seeing how closely the camera crops in on us, if you massage your stomach with the massager it looks…inappropriate. Kind of like that experiment when you close your eyes, stick out your tongue, an shake an imaginary salt shaker onto your tongue. Your mind actually tricks itself into tasting salt. You should try it. In front of your friends. Try it in front of your friends. Do it now. It's ok. We'll wait here. Tell us in the comments how they reacted.
Ok, for really reals, though, this massager wasn't terrible. It's great when you rub it on the back of your head. It kinda pinches the rest of your body, and the diagram makes it seem like that's a desirable effect, but we didn't like it. Otherwise, it was just…inappropriate. All around inappropriate. But fun to play with, nonetheless.
We also put in the playlist some of our older WTF segments, in which we've played around with massagers. This one definitely takes the cake as most awkward.
Anyhow, if you'd like to feel how awesome it feels to have this rubbed on the back of your head, you can achieve the exact same effect by clicking on the button here. It'll give your body all the good feels it needs to survive.

And there was also the freeze foam on the nipple, not too long ago. ;-)
Guys… it's a special massager to get rid of CELLULITE (not screaming, just emphasizing), that's why it pinches your skin an the pictures show how to use it on your legs, hips, butt
No, that horse was beaten into submission. SPUNK TRUMPET! SPUNK TRUMPEEET!
reminds me of this other product to massage the face with… platinum coated and all shiny!! xDDD
I lolled so Hard I might have peed a little!!!
I loved the purr affect Guys!
I am SO so happy you brought WTF back. These vids always make me laugh. <3
…Jup better stop right there. Or not! ;)
And thats where the Nastie-ness comes from!
But honestly after watching 3 min of this WTF, one simply can't control rather sarcastic comments right?
I did the same thing too T.T
….i totally had to watch this in incognito mode….
The person who designed this product is either very innocent or a dirty minded troll
I REMEMBER THAT EPISODE!!! Lol it's like the only episode of that show I've ever seen. I haven't even clicked the link, but I remember it was a model of a building or something yea xD
Is it just me or the package really looks like a lint roller was in it???!!!
Don't underestimate the power of FanMan to make it okay for male closet kpop fans to come out – he said it was okay, and it IS. ;)
This is by far my favourite WTF and blog post, the comments made it even better xD
I never knew he actually said that! I just thought it was a meme with words that matched the expression. Lol, thanks for sharing.
hahahahahahah xD la cara de Simon…
Pinoy Nasties, would it be a good idea to send EYK a 'barrel man'?
I watched this in total disbelief and with my jaw dropped….which now that I think about it and type this out may just add to the innuendos…oh boy!
This video is overflowing with Hap-penis ;)
OMG best WTF evar! Seriously, even the intro had me almost in tears! And how'd you read my mind? I WAS thinking that it was Japanese ><
Hahahaha! What every student needs to get rid of their stress!! Good old penis massager!
Actually I want one now that I watched this WTF, don't you too?
I mean just what I need to get rid of during boring lectures in uni.
– Just looking at it and thinking of eyk would have me rolling over the floor laughing my head off.
Simon, Martina, you guys should start a teleshopping segment!
Flag as Inappropriate :D until you watch it.
In the Venus-Penis songs at the end, you guys forgot Hello Venus' "I'm Your Venus" which totally sounds like "I'm Your Penis"
Sees title: Wait… you're massaging your…????
Sees the roller: Why does it look like a…
Finishes Video: Does it get dirtier if it went up the….?
Mind's cleanliness level: Destroyed
I realized I watch a lot of weird stuff on the internet.
You guys are such immature children xDDD. Love it!
BAHAHAHHHAHAHHAHAHA! This is the ballsiest WTF I've seen yet. It would have been better if you WANKED to the place where you bought this. xD
I just spit my soda all over my desk as you went through the color options! Also not only does that look like a penis it also looks like the female reproductive system.
Yeah! We said that as well when we were filming but we didn't really know how to roll with it semi-tastefully.
I had a hard time writing it semi-tastefully, can't imagine how hard it would be for ya'll to talk about it semi-tastefully. I kept changing my wording then remembered this "proper" way of saying it XD
oh, my god. Simon control yourself! xD
No, Simon, not everyone is as dirty-minded as you. No matter how I look at it, that massager is definitely shaped like a lady with a very narrow head and massive boobs. :p
So I'm not the only one who thought anime lady. *phew*
Anime style!
I could NOT stop laughing. I honestly don't mind the dirty videos lately because, well, I'm a perv, and I thoroughly enjoy this sort of humor. That said….. AHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAH!
Ha! Glad you like it :D
Ok. Now Hurricane Venus will not be the same anymore.
The classic
Oh gosh, I just died!
I think that was one of your nastiest and most inappropriate video ever…
You say that like it's a bad thing!
Dirty Fun :3
when I first saw the title, I really thought it was something to massage your … uhmm well, never mind.
Get your mind outta the gutte- oh wait… we're all in the gutter xD
For some reason I thought of Xia meets Austin Powers. "I'm tellin ya, baby, it's not mine!"
Is this what you envisioned when you wrote that?
Including the link to the image on my tumblr as well. http://thisisjustforfunval.tumblr.com/image/61825388289

Toll tags, like E-ZPass, are a quick and easy way to pay tolls. Instead of fumbling with change, you just drive through a toll booth and the payment -- often discounted -- is automatically deducted from your account.
Of course, you're also letting someone know where you were at that exact moment and in which direction you were headed.
Toll tags also provide valuable information about how well traffic is flowing. Computers can time how long it takes a car to travel from one toll booth to another or from one toll tag sensor to another.
Toll data has been used in criminal cases and divorce proceedings. ("You were visiting a client in Connecticut, you say? The toll records say you were driving to New Jersey... where your girlfriend lives!")
In New Jersey, at least, EZ-Pass toll records can be accessed only with a court order and only in criminal cases, according to New Jersey Turnpike Authority spokesman Tom Feeney. The records are, however, kept indefinitely.
The rules may differ wherever you are. New Jersey's privacy rules apply only to those who have an EZ-Pass account in that state. If you have a toll tag from someplace else, your privacy protection may vary.

WFPD officers wear many hats
The heated moments of a double murder have settled, and Officer John Laughlin was part of the team that was a key ingredient in saving the third victim's life when the Wichita Falls Police Department's Special Weapons and Tactics team entered the home.
But Laughlin, a sniper with the WFPD SWAT team, can't pack up and go back to his Sunday morning routine — it's time to get to work fulfilling the duties of his main job as a detective.
"Last weekend, I was activated for the SWAT call at Rene Circle. I participated with the rescue of that woman," he said. "As soon as everything was made safe, it's time to put my SWAT gear up and return to the scene with my clipboard and begin the investigation."
Laughlin is among the many officers in the WFPD who serves double duty — or more.
"I'm not the only guy. There are a lot of guys in the department that have a lot of collateral duties," he said. "It's not that a policeman goes to work and does one thing every day all day."
Unlike some large police departments, the WFPD has many functions that are not served by a full-time team, but are rather fulfilled by other officers picking up voluntary part-time work.
Some of the special units include: the SWAT team, the SCUBA team, the department honor guard, field training officers and hostage negotiators.
Picking up the additional duties does not mean the officers get to pick up additional pay, though it does present the opportunity for more work, responsibility and hours.
In the past two weeks, Laughlin said, he clocked about 100 hours. That's a bit higher than normal, he said, explaining that he averages between 85 and 95 hours in a two-week period.
Being part of the SWAT team doesn't excuse Laughlin from his duties as a detective, as he showed by his back-to-back work on Aug. 31.
"I could see where that would be frustrating for some people, but my personality type, I enjoy a challenge," he said. "I would rather be busy than not busy."
In his 13 years with the police department, Laughlin has picked up training in many areas, including a now-defunct bicycle section.
Every morning, Laughlin comes to work and gets busy investigating cases and searching down suspects. But in his vehicle, his SWAT gear sits waiting.
"You really can't allow yourself to set aside time in anticipation for an emergency," said Capt. R.W. Smith.
Smith, who is over the patrol unit, knows the reshuffling of duties that goes on when an officer is called to their secondary duty.
In the event of an officer being called out for an emergency, the patrol officers are quickly rearranged to make sure every beat in the city is covered.
"We aren't big enough to devote 100 percent to these jobs because they only happen sporadically. It's not a day to day drain, but when it happens, we can be strapped for manpower for a period of time. We just have to make adjustments on the fly and move officers from one beat to another — try to spread our officers more evenly."
In the community services division, Sgt. Joe Snyder doesn't worry much about losing officers to collateral duties. He has one officer below him who is a hostage negotiator and takes calls to emergency situations.
"The mission we have, and started a long time ago, is trying to get everyone cross-trained so they can help everyone out. We have a luxury that the rest of the field services may not."
Snyder said the department's ability to have officers pulling double duty is only beneficial — both to the department and to the citizens.
"It would take about 50 or more officers" to be hired to the force, Snyder estimated, if all the duties being picked up by current officers were made into full-time positions.
"There are certain criteria, and once that's met we're called," said Sgt. Eddie Haisten, WFPD training coordinator and a sergeant with the SWAT team.
The team trains together at least twice a month and responds to between 50 and 60 calls a year.
Haisten said having SWAT members spread throughout the city and department doing other things can be beneficial when an emergency is called, because when officers are responding from different locations, they may get there quicker — which could be said for the other special teams as well.

Italian Mayor Wants to Ban Same-Sex PDA
July 14, 2014 by HRC staff
Post submitted by Bo Suh, HRC Digital Media Intern
This week, Italian mayor Gianluca Buonnano called kissing between same-sex couples "morally harmful" and plans to propose an ordinance banning it from his municipality.
The mayor of Borgosesia told the Italian newspaper La Repubblica that a same-sex couple kissing in public is a "question of respect" and that it is "morally harmful for children," according to a translation from Huffington Post.
Buonnano's proposed ordinance could fine same-sex couples up to 500 euros for kissing in Borgosesia.
The Italian mayor has a reputation for strange publicity stunts. Earlier this year, he was expelled from parliament for waving around a sea bass in protest of a bill that called for the decriminalization of undocumented immigration.
Daniele Viotti, a member of European Parliament, called the proposed ordinance a "pathetic publicity stunt by a narrow-minded man who desperately wants to be in the spotlight." Buonnano allegedly intends to put a photograph of anti-gay Russian President Putin in his office as well.
Buonnano's attitudes and sentiments are outliers in the larger LGBT climate in Italy. Despite Italy's large Catholic presence, several prominent figures have come out in support of LGBT rights. Prime Minister Matteo Renzi and Rome Mayor Iganzio Marino have expressed their support for LGBT rights legislation. Last month, Italy's parliament announced that it would begin debating same-sex civil unions in September.

SUNRISE, Fla. -- After just five goals in their first four games -- three of them losses -- the Philadelphia Flyers are starting to roll. Matt Read earned his first career hat trick to lead the Flyers to a 7-1 win over the Florida Panthers Saturday night. It was the fourth straight loss for the Panthers (1-4), who scored four goals in their first period of the season and have been outscored 18-2 since. The Flyers (2-3), meanwhile, got three goals in Saturday's first period and cruised from there. It was the first road win of the season for the Flyers, although there were many Philadelphia fans present on enemy ice. Those supporters were heard chanting: "Let's Go Flyers!" Read, who got one goal in each period, credited his success to his linemates, Claude Giroux and Wayne Simmonds. This was the second straight game those three have played together, and both games resulted in Flyers wins. "Claude is one of the best players in the NHL, and Simmonds is one of the hardest-...

We Cannot Choose Between Management And Leadership
Ok, so these are writers or reporters, and they may not know. Choosing to be a manager without being a leader is like choosing to drive across the country without a map. Choosing to be a leader without having management skills is like choosing to be a fish without gills. You have to know where you're going, and you have to know how to breathe in your environment.
Managers set the strategy and the vision, so everyone knows what is going on and can work on the most important work. Managers create the environment so that the people all over the organization can succeed, including the managers. They are not the only people who do this, but they are the leaders who must do this. If managers do these things in a command-and-control way, they might succeed. If they choose servant leadership, they are more likely to be successful.
Managers must be leaders. We cannot choose between management and leadership. We must have both.

This invention pertains generally to the drilling of boreholes in the earth, and more particularly to hydraulic drilling apparatus in which cutting is effected by streams of fluid directed against the material to be cut.
For many years, oil and gas wells have been drilled by a rotary bit mounted on a tubular drill string which extends down the borehole from the surface of the earth. The drill string is rotated at the surface, and the rotary motion is transmitted by the string to the bit at the bottom of the hole. A liquid commonly known as drilling mud is introduced through the drill string to carry cuttings produced by the bit to the surface through the annular space between the drill string and the wall of the borehole. This method of drilling has certain limitations and disadvantages. The string must be relatively heavy in order to transmit torque to the bit at the bottom of the hole. In hard rock, the drilling rate is slow, and the bit tends to wear rapidly. When the bit must be replaced or changed, the entire string must be pulled out of the hole and broken down into tubing joints as it is removed. It is necessary to use heavy, powerful machinery to handle the relatively heavy drill string. The string is relatively inflexible and difficult to negotiate around bends, and frictional contact between the string and the well casing or bore can produce wear as well as interfering with the rotation of the drill bit. Powerful equipment is also required in order to inject the drilling mud with sufficient pressure to remove cuttings from the bottom of the well.
More recently, wells and other boreholes have been drilled with small, high velocity streams or jets of fluid directed against the material to be cut. Examples of this technique are found in U.S. Pat. Nos. 4,431,069, 4,497,381, 4,501,337 and 4,527,639. In U.S. Pat. Nos. 4,431,069 and 4,501,337, the cutting jets are discharged from the distal end of a hollow pipe positioned within an eversible tube having a rollover area which is driven forward by pressurized fluid. U.S. Pat. Nos. 4,497,381 and 4,527,639 disclose hydraulic jet drill heads attached to drilling tubes which are driven forward by hydraulic pressure, with means for bending the tube to change the direction of drilling, e.g. from horizontal to vertical.
With some of the hydraulic drill heads heretofore provided, it is difficult to cut holes large enough to pass a drill string in certain materials. The larger diameter is important because the string must pass freely through the borehole for the system to operate properly. To produce a reasonably round and straight hole, the drill must cut in a symmetrical manner. In softer materials and unconsolidated formations, a non-rotating hydraulic drill head with axially directed jets may be able to cut holes several times the diameter of the drill head or spacing between the jets. However, in more indurated materials and consolidated formations, the hole cut by this drill head may not be much larger than the nozzles in the drill head itself. In some drill heads, obliquely inclined jets are employed to provide a desired cutting pattern. However, obliquely inclined jets tend to cut radial slots or grooves, rather than smooth round holes, and this problem increases as the oblique angle increases.
To produce larger holes, rotating drill heads with obliquely inclined jets have been provided. These jets may cut concentric grooves or slots and can produce holes larger than the drill head even in harder formations. Examples of such drill heads are found in U.S. Pat. Nos. 2,678,203, 3,055,442, 3,576,222, 4,031,971, 4,175,626 and 4,529,046. In most of these systems and in some non-rotating drill heads, abrasive particles are entrained in the cutting jets to improve the cutting action. U.S. Pat. No. 4,534,427 discloses a drill head which uses a combination of hydraulic jets and hard cutting edges to cut grooves and remove material between the grooves. While rotating drill heads are capable of cutting larger holes than non-rotating drill heads in certain materials, the useful life of rotating drill heads is severely limited by bearing wear, particularly when abrasive materials are present as in most drilling operations.
U.S. Pat. Nos. 3,528,704 and 3,713,699 disclose drill heads which employ cavitation of the drilling fluid in order to increase the erosive effect of the cutting jets. These drill heads appear to have the same limitations and disadvantages as other non-rotating drill heads as far as hole size is concerned, and they are limited in depth of application.
U.S. Pat. Nos. 4,787,465 and 4,790,394 disclose hydraulic drilling apparatus in which a whirling mass of pressurized drilling fluid is discharged through a nozzle as a high velocity cutting jet in the form of a thin conical shell. The direction of the borehole is controlled by controlling the discharge of the drilling fluid, either in side jets directed radially from the distal end portion of the drill string which carries the drill head or in a plurality of forwardly facing cutting jets aimed ahead of the drill string so as to modify the geometry of the hole being cut. This apparatus represents a substantial improvement over the hydraulic techniques which preceded it, and it cuts very effectively both in consolidated formations and in unconsolidated formations.
It is in general an object of the invention to provide a new and improved hydraulic drilling method and apparatus in which a portion of the drilling fluid is utilized to control the direction in which a hole is bored in the earth.
Another object of the invention is to provide a hydraulic drilling method and apparatus of the above character which overcomes the limitations and disadvantages of hydraulic drilling techniques of the prior art.
Another object of the invention is to provide a hydraulic drilling method and apparatus of the above character in which the drill head is economical to manufacture.
These and other objects are achieved in accordance with the invention by providing a hydraulic drilling method and apparatus in which the drilling fluid itself is utilized to control the direction in which a hole is bored in the earth. The drilling fluid is discharged through a plurality of forwardly facing nozzles which are inclined at different angles about the axis of the drill head, and the drilling fluid is selectively applied to the nozzles by a rotatable valve member to control the direction in which the hole is cut.
FIG. 1 is a centerline sectional view of one embodiment of drilling apparatus according to the invention.
FIG. 2 is an end elevational view of the embodiment of FIG. 1.
FIG. 3 is an enlarged, fragmentary sectional view taken along line 3--3 in FIG. 2.
As illustrated in FIG. 1, the drilling apparatus includes a tubular drill string 11 having a rounded nose or distal end 12 in which a drill head 13 is mounted. Pressurized drilling fluid is supplied to the drill head through the string and discharged in the form of high velocity cutting jets through a plurality of forwardly facing nozzles inclined at different angles relative to the axis of the drill string. Steering is effected by discharging the drilling fluid selectively through the nozzles to control the direction in which the hole is bored. In the particular embodiment illustrated, three nozzles 16-18 are provided, and they are inclined at angles on the order of 0°, 12° and 25°, respectively, relative to the longitudinal axis. It will be understood, however, that a greater or lesser number of nozzles can be employed, as can different angles of inclination.
The nozzles are formed in drill head 13 which is threadedly mounted in the front end of a housing 21. This housing is mounted in the distal end portion of drill string 11, and it can be removed and replaced without removing the drill string from a borehole. The drill head is thus part of a removable pod which can be readily changed, as needed.
Pressurized drilling fluid introduced into string 11 passes to the nozzles through a plurality of inlet openings or ports 23 in the side wall of housing 21. The inlet ends of nozzles 16-18 lie on a circle which is centered about the axis of housing 21, and the delivery of drilling fluid to the individual nozzles is controlled by a valve member 24. This valve member is mounted within the housing and can be rotated about the longitudinal axis of the housing. It has an eccentrically positioned bore 26 which can be selectively positioned in alignment with different of the nozzles upon rotation of the valve member. The bore can be provided with vanes (not shown) or other suitable means to induce a whirling motion in the pressurized fluid within the drill head so that it will be discharged in the form of a thin conical shell, as disclosed in U.S. Pat. Nos. 4,787,465 and 4,790,394. The rear portion of the valve member is received in a cup 27 which rotates with the valve member, and a drive shaft 28 is affixed to the cup by screws 29. The drive shaft is rotatively mounted in bearings 31, 32 carried by housing 21.
Means is provided for equalizing the pressure across valve member 24. In this regard, the rear portion of valve member 24 has two rearwardly facing shoulders or steps 33, 34 and a rear surface 36. Pressure equalizing passageways 37 extend longitudinally through the valve member from the front face 38 of the member. These passageways are positioned for alignment with the nozzles which are not aligned with bore 26. The pressurized drilling fluid is thus applied to forwardly and rearwardly facing surfaces of substantially equal area on the valve member to maintain a pressure equilibrium across the member.
It is apparent from the foregoing that a new and improved hydraulic drilling apparatus and method have been provided. While only certain presently preferred embodiments have been described in detail, as will be apparent to those familiar with the art, certain changes and modifications can be made without departing from the scope of the invention as defined by the following claims.

Everybody has searched for the perfect place to make out at one time or another.
Although the Alcatraz website claims that the flora and fauna of Alcatraz Island are the allure of the historic land mass jutting out of San Francisco Bay, there's a feeling they don't allude to for fear of losing customers: isolation.

Following Friday's disastrous payrolls report, which confirmed all the pre-recessionary economic data and signaled that instead of approaching "lift-off" and decoupling from the rest of the world, the US economy is following the emerging markets into a slowdown in what may be the first global, synchronized recession since 2008, the market saw its biggest intraday surge since 2011 and the sharpest short covering squeeze in history, we are happy to announce that the "market" is now solidly back in "bad news is good news" mode.

World's Largest Shipowners To Abandon Greece Ahead Of Major Tax HikeSubmitted by Tyler Durden on 10/04/2015 07:49 -0400
Once again the reactions of desperate government policies looks like creating an even worse situation thanks to unintended (though entirely foreseeable) consequences. Amid the prospect of sharply higher shipping taxes in Greece - designed to increase revenues and 'fix' the debt-ridden nation, WSJ reports many of Greece's world-leading shipowners are actively exploring options to leave their home country. With Greece controlling 20% of the world's shipping fleet, the 'quadriga' of Greek creditors' demands to raise taxes (because debt restructuring is out of the question) on such an 'easy target' as the world's largest shipping industry appears likely to backfire as an entire industry's revenues move out of reach of government taxers.

Of Greater Fools, Bigger Liars, & A Society In DeclineSubmitted by Tyler Durden on 09/27/2015 22:15 -0400
Whether it's the economy, climate, the planet, warfare, your future obligations, your pensions, the future of your children, nobody in power tells you the truth. Human life is fast losing the value we would like to tell ourselves we assign to it. We don't, do we? Our technological advances haven't come with moral advances, quite the contrary, our morals turn out to be a thin layer of mere cheap veneer. What advances we're making are the last death rattle of a society in decline, and a dying civilization.

George Soros Demands EU Accept 1 Million Refugees (Costing €15 Billion) Per Year For Foreseeable FutureSubmitted by Tyler Durden on 09/27/2015 14:15 -0400
The exodus from war-torn Syria should never have become a crisis, according to billionaire George Soros; it was long in the making, easy to foresee, and eminently manageable by Europe and the international community. While some leaders, like Hungary's Orban, have suggested plans, these subordinate the human rights of asylum-seekers and migrants and threaten to divide and destroy the EU by renouncing the values on which it was built and violating the laws that are supposed to govern it. Soros demands that The EU respond with a genuinely European asylum policy that will put an end to the panic and the unnecessary human suffering.

Neoliberal economics is blind to reality and serves to justify the destruction of the economic prospects of the Western World. It remains to be seen if Russia and China can develop a different economics or whether these rising superpowers will fall victim to the "junk economics" that has destroyed the West. With so many Chinese and Russian economists educated in the US tradition, the prospects of Russia and China might not be any better than ours. The entire world could go down the tubes together.

- Feb 9, 2012Hello Swap Group,
I have finally sent out my samples yesterday to all 9 of the folks who participated in this wonderful exchange. Being a busy mother of two and juggling work/studio with the added ills of midwinter I wasn't able to meet the 1/31 deadline although I tried to. I opened the envelopes of the samples mailed to me yesterday, thank you all so much for this, it's made my month!
