  • Electric Motor Help!?

    I need help selecting an electric motor. The web is full of them, but very little help on choosing one. I have a box that is approximately 3'x3'x3'. On top sits a tennis ball machine. The machine rotates left and right, I am looking to modify it so it also rotates up and down. I will run a solid shaft down through box and connect to motor shaft with some type of universal joints. The rpm will need to be about 60, and enough power to lift 30 lbs. It also needs to run off household current 120v.

  • iphone/verizon question?

    I have a (non-data) phone plan and older style (non-smart) phone with Verizon. Can I buy a iphone 4, say from ebay, and use it with my regular phone plan (non-data plan) and be able to use the wifi? I was told no from a Verizon rep, but I'm thinking he said that so I would buy a data plan from them.

  • itunes Help!! iTunes Help!!?

    I recently went into my flash drive and updated names and artists of over 1000 songs, as some of them were wrong or missing. I also grouped all songs by artist only instead of artist and albums. I then re-copied those songs to iTunes after deleting them. However the names and artists that were on iTunes prior to deleting reappeared exactly as they were, despite them being updated on the flash drive. Any ideas on how to get the edited songs to appear in iTunes as they now are on the flash drive?

    Obviously I can edit the songs on iTunes the same way I did on the flash drive, although I am trying to avoid that.

  • Unwanted front porch advertisement?

    AT&T recently dropped off some phone books on my front porch, as they seem to do twice a year now. So I called AT&T to simply ask to be removed from their drop off list. They will kindly do this, however they need a full name and phone number, as well as an address in order to create an account. Once an account is established they will stop delivering. My response to that was you deliver to an address, and not a name or phone number. I don’t want to create an account, I should not have to create an account. I realize I could simply throw the stupid things in the trash, but it’s the principal of the thing. Your neighbor could not do this and get away with it, why should AT&T. They also refuse to come remove them from my front porch.

    My question is: Can I write a cease and desist letter outlining my request and then be able to enforce it if they return to my front porch in the future? And where can I obtain information on how to properly write, send, and document this letter?

    Also, wouldn’t there be some type of littering law, or improper dumping, ect., that I could also use against them?

    I’m not looking to sue, just to stop receiving garbage on my front porch and as best I can protect my identity, in addition to future advertisements from AT&T.
