As a lesbian, I do not care at all about bisexual girls feeling left out or judged in the LGBTQ community. I know that's horrible, especially since my girlfriend is bi, but I find it very revolting when I think about making love with someone that loves taking dick. I fell for my girlfriend without knowing she likes guys and girls. I don't purposefully date bisexual girls and I don't think it's wrong to say that. — Anonymous
I really hope your girlfriend realizes she's dating a pathetic waste of a human being and finds someone infinitely better.
A lot of lesbians are turned off by the idea of their gf having sex with men. Why is that such a bad thing? Why is it so wrong to only like women who like other women? I think the anon who asked this should be honest with her gf and break up with her though if it's that much of a turn off.
At first I wasn't going to reply to comments like these but now that I've had a couple of beers the idea of repeatedly hitting my head against a brick wall seems more enjoyable so here we go.
I have a problem with lesbians who claim that they have a "preference" towards dating other lesbians over bisexuals. I understand having a preference, I personally have a preference for girls who are my height or taller than me. However, does this preference make me view my own voice, safety, and representation in my community as superior and of more importance than those I do not have a preference for? Nope. That's why this anon (and unfortunately other like minded individuals) don't have a "preference" they are biphobic and overall prejudicial assholes.
If you're not comfortable dating bisexual people because you feel they will ultimately leave you for the opposite sex or (insert other stereotypical view of bisexuals) you don't have a preference, you are biphobic, and have some huge insecurities that you should probably deal with before you enter a relationship.
If you're a lesbian and do not feel comfortable dating a woman who is also attracted to individuals with dicks because you find it "icky" or "gross", it must blow your mind when you find out your partner likes watermelon and you don't. How do you even move forward from there? Is the relationship just doomed? And yes it is the same thing. Those individuals are judging someone based on something they cannot control.
Prejudice and phobia inside the queer community is something I will never understand and is absolutely infuriating.
Prejudice and phobia in any community makes no sense.
This is really upsetting and I'll tell you why.
A lot of this is about respect. If you have a partner whose sexuality you can't respect or, at bare minimum, even accept, you should not be with that person. I understand that some people don't like penetration or aren't attracted to people with penises, but if you truly respected your partner, you would be comfortable with them regardless of their sexual history and orientation. Their preferences have nothing to do with you (outside of the fact that you're both attracted to women), and what matters is that they care about and are with you now.
Anonymous, you need to sit down and do some soul searching. You need to consider what about simply knowing this about your partner feels so wrong to you, and why. Think about it practically: Are you concerned your partner will leave you for someone else? Does knowing this make you feel your partner is somehow dirty or tainted? Do you think it means your partner will never fully commit to you? Why is your partner's orientation and sexual history so important and upsetting to you? Consider the assumptions you're making about bisexuality and those who are bisexual.
You also need to have a talk with your partner. You need to tell them how you feel and why you think you feel that way. Then you and your partner need to decide if you can continue your relationship. You should not be with someone you can't accept, and your partner should not have to be with someone who really feels that way (nor should they be kept in the dark about this!).
This is biphobia at its most basic. I understand you have your own preferences, but you have no right to negatively judge someone for theirs, especially someone you've entered a relationship with.
This thought process also raises a bunch of other questions: What about trans or non-binary people? People with penises who are not straight or cisgendered? Would you feel the same if your partner had been with a transgender woman who had a penis? (Because that'd also be transphobic.) And what about sex play using toys or fingers? Obviously lots of people don't enjoy penetration, but would it be better or different if your partner had only been penetrated by toys? Why?
Anonymous, you need to come clean to your partner and seriously rethink your feelings towards bisexuality.
Yo if a dude was all, I won't fuck that girl cause she once fucked somebody I think is gross, we'd call that shit misogyny.
The idea that a penis can somehow dramatically corrupt or alter the body of a woman is straight up goddamn patriarchy-lovin misogyny, if you add in "but it's about bisexuality" then fine you're also biphobic, way to multitask your policing of female sexuality, very talented work
Lesbian biphobia has so many shades of virginity fetishization and slut-shaming. "Now that you, fair woman, have been RAVISHED by a MAN, you are icky and impure and gross." And it also somehow makes male/female sex seem more important than female/female sex? "If she's only been with women, she'll be content to stay with women; but if she's been with a man, she'll always be tempted to dump her girlfriend and stray back to men."
It manages to be misandric (men are so evil they taint everything they touch), patriarchal (men are so powerful they permanently alter everything they touch) AND misogynistic (women are polluted by the sex they have) ALL AT ONCE.
That takes talent. The bad kind.

When I'm dating a man I'm no longer bisexual
Just like when I'm at home, I'm no longer employed
Or when I'm not studying I'm no longer a student.

I'm actually concerned for boys who complain about how different girls look without makeup. Like did you think eyeshadow permanently alters a girls eyelid? Are you frightened when people change clothes
Babies have no concept of object permanence

the boys who use superheroes to propagate and enforce oppressive racial and sexual narratives—even the writers—aren't real fans. they're usurpers. they've betrayed what these characters stand for and why they were created. Superheroes were dreamed up and drawn by kids who had to change their fucking names to be fit for print, you think a guy named Jacob Kurtzburg is going to agree with you that Spiderman can't be a minority because it isn't true to the character? You think William Marston is gonna rise from his kinked-up polyamorous female supremacist grave and like your post about how Gail Simone would be better employed bringing your nasty ass a sandwich?
Get the fuck out of my face. I'm not the fake fan here. I'm not the poison ruining comics. You are. Superheroes are our dream. Get out.

I kept wondering what BFN meant on KEF's posts. I thought it meant Big Fat Negative for a pregnancy test (ex-nurse!) Then Tracey said bye for now and it clicked!
Have had a busy day in glorious sunshine. Morning in greenhouse, afternoon pruning roses. That's 12 climbers done now, nearly finished them. Not doing the 2 climbing Cecile Brunner. They had a really hard prune by OH last year and then grew like mad. Lots of lovely arching branches covered in leaves now.
Still haven't finished 50 shades, started it a few months ago. Got sort of bored with the male interest and how good looking he was.
Matty, can't grow primroses here either. Shallow limestone. Primroses prefer less alkali, more moisture, but cowslips grow very well here. Cowslips grow well in the Cotswolds and I think this bit of Dordogne is more like the Cotswolds.
I envy people who can plant roses where they like without the deer eating them.
Good morning all, lovely and sunny.
I wonder if it will be dry enough to mow in a few days. Some parts were still squelching yesterday.
Going to prick out seedlings in GH this morning and get heating arrangements for night set up.
Crocosmia Lucifer is bright red and hardy. Red Hot pokers, Kniphofia, have a sort of hot look. Cannas look bright and have a very tropical look, but you have to store them over winter, rather like dahlias.
Thanks Peanuts, a useful site.
I sow seeds either in lines or in a noughts and crosses pattern.
I thought it was something to do with being in France that made it lose the sound, but if Dove lost it and some other friends, then it wasn't. All that talk about modern roses having repeat perfumed flowers and not a mention of David Austin.
How deep can you dig? Is the rest of your garden very wet after all the rain? It could get better with some dry weather. I'm not an expert on this sort of thing, but I wanted to move your question up so the evening arrivals would see it.
I wonder if you could put drainage pipes in it. It's probably just that the clay is very thick.
Loads of cranes have just flown over the house, but getting too dark for a photo. They make a lot of noise.
More pruning this afternoon. Just can't reach all of Mme Alfred Carrière so she'll just have to wave about above the pillar she's attached to. Grass getting very long, but seems to have died under the copper beech and turned into moss under the acacia. Forecast is sun for the next few days, 18° on Sunday. Sometimes it snows in March! Having Steak Diane tonight with rosties and asparagus - which has suddenly gone down in price at the supermarket.
Morning all. I'm back from seeing my daughter. Have a good day with your son, Dove.
I saw we had a new girl yesterday, KEF noticed. Welcome Smiler 1, if you can get a word in edgeways!
smiler1 wrote (see)
Good afternoon everyone, got a week off and just browsing at all your wonderful cakes, i could eat a slice with a cup of tea mmmmmmm : )
The sun was out for my visit. We took the boys (3, 6, 8) to the swimming pool, which they love. Yesterday we were mostly in the garden. Helped daughter (No 1) weed 2 beds. She's bought lots more roses, incl. David Austin ones. She has about an acre, big grass area for boys to play on, lots of fruit trees, veg. garden, some flowerbeds and shrubs and now lots of roses. South of Poitiers, 2 1/2 hours from me in Dordogne.
I was wondering about putting some of my windowsill baby plants in the GH, but it was -5° this morning, sunny.
They really are beautiful photos.

The William Morris Project: Pinterest
This might be one of my biggest projects yet, and I don't even have to move from my chair. I spent two hours last night cleaning up my pinterest boards. I went from 156 to 104 boards. That's a decrease of 33.33%. Not bad! I would love to get under 100 boards, but that's impossible since I haven't moved over my boards from the library account I started a couple of months ago.
Yes, I started the library account because my original account was too cluttered for me to find anything. Heaven forbid I just clean out the cluttered account! At least now I can say that I've taken steps to having a pinterest account that won't give me a nervous breakdown.
Things I'm doing to clean up my Pinterest space:
- Deleting all boards with only 1 or 2 pins
- Deleting all boards that are no longer relevant, like boards on specific books I've read
- Deleting all recipe boards that include ingredients I no longer eat, like chicken
- Deleting inspiration boards for rooms/trips/designs that are no longer relevant (I no longer need a laundry room board, for example)
- Giving all boards heading and sub-heading
- Alphabetizing all boards
PROS: permanent, strong, matte finish, rolls come in multiple sizes
CONS: may be difficult to work with (you get used to it), bubbles are difficult to remove, extremely tacky, requires trial and error, cost, availability
- PROS: price, availability, easy to apply and forgiving of mistakes, completely reposition-able, matte finish.
CONS: not permanent, may require taped ends for secure application, not as sturdy, more expensive in store unless you buy it in bulk online or through business catalogs
I'm still working on all bullet items, especially the last two. Alphabetizing boards takes forever! You have to move them around with your mouse because pinterest isn't enough of a time-suck as it is, I guess. I want to see a button that says "ALPHABETIZE BOARDS" and then be done. I'll pin that under "In My Dreams."
How to Wrap Books and Protect Your Paperbacks
Over the summer I spoke a lot about wrapping books for the library on Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, here, church, the supermarket…anywhere there was an ear and a platform, basically.
It didn't occur to me that some people wouldn't know what I meant when I said I was wrapping hundreds of books. A few people thought I was setting up a blind date with a book program, one friend, who gives me way too much credit, thought I was wrapping them up for a giant "Christmas in August" book party with the students. Still other people thought I was wrapping everything in brown paper like regular textbooks.
In reality, I was wrapping new paperbacks with laminate so they last longer. I mentioned that in a comment somewhere (the problem with whining in so many venues), and then moved on to complain about something that was more inclusive and allowed everyone to coddle me like a baby koala bear with a broken paw.
Only yesterday did it occur to me that wrapping books with laminate is someone everyone should try, especially if you have little ones. The books I could have saved from Nico's gummy mouth!
Here is how I taught myself to do it last year, when one too many Goosebumps books crumbled into a fine dust in my hands. There may be other, better tutorials out there, but this is my method.
Lots of pictures with this one! Let's get started.
Grab a book you want to wrap. It's okay if it looks tattered beyond repair! The laminate won't make it look new, but it will keep it from breaking down more and it will look slightly more presentable. In this case, I'm wrapping a book I read at the pool all summer (Main Street Vegan by Victoria Moran). It has water damage and a minimally frayed cover.
The first thing you will need is book laminate. For the library, I use Demco CircExtender Laminate. It creates a permanent bond 6-24 hours after application.
This is the laminate I prefer, but I've wrapped enough books that I can do it in my sleep. I rarely have to reposition a book once I set it on the laminate, and that's key with this brand. They say you can reposition it, but they are liars. I can only find this laminate online, so that's an issue.
While I was still figuring out my technique, I used clear Contact paper, which is far more user friendly and available in small rolls at Staples and Target.
Cut out the laminate.
Most chapter books will require between 12″-14″ of wrap (12-14 squares). You want an inch or more of laminate all around your book.
I remove all the paper backing and place the book on top, but in the beginning I removed only half of it, like you see in the pictures. I removed the paper as I went, almost like applying a band-aid.
Roll Book Onto Laminate
This is the best way I can explain it, but I had Mikey take a million pictures of the process for reference. Keeping in mind your 1″ border, you place the edge of the book down onto the laminate and then roll the rest of the book on. You do this to avoid air bubbles. If you place the book down flat, air bubbles are guaranteed. Once I roll on the book, I put pressure on it and smooth it out like you would a tablecloth. I have no idea if this prevents air bubbles, but it's habit now.
Note that I have removed only 1/2 of the paper backing.
At this point, before I move on to the next step, I flip the book over once and check for air bubbles. I smooth out those I see, just like I would if applying wallpaper.
Apply Laminate to Back
Remove the rest of the paper backing (if you haven't already), flip the book over, and firmly tug the laminate over the spine of the book. Then beginning smoothing the laminate onto the backside of the book, almost like a reverse of the "roll" step above. Watch for air bubbles.
Smooth down laminate.
Using a bone folder, squeegee, credit card, ruler, etc., smooth out the laminate. In some cases, you'll be smoothing out air bubbles. In this case, I was just making sure the laminate had a nice, strong bond to the book.
Cut the corners off the laminate, including those by the spine. This is the part some people find confusing. Even at the spine, you are cutting at an angle to create mitered corners. You can use straight cuts, but it will make wrapping the book harder. Also, your end product won't look as nice.
Wrap laminate around book.
Hopefully these last two pictures show why mitered corners will make your life easier as you wrap the interior of the book with laminate. Tug firmly so that the laminate is flush with the edges of the cover, then smooth onto book.
That's it! Done! I should have done this before I read it for two months at swim practice, but there you go.
The William Morris Project: 2014 | Revisiting School Work Storage
I survived my first day of school as a teachers aide! I came home exhausted but aware of the fact that I have to be more organized at home than I have ever been if I want to juggle everything successfully. To that end, I decided yesterday I was going to work on how I store homework and classwork throughout the year.
My proven method worked until last year. Having both boys in elementary school meant a dramatic increase in paper, and it was no longer easy to pull out what I needed when discrepancies arose. There was too much stuff, and I was getting bad about discarding the items that weren't graded. In Nico's case, it seemed like everything had a grade.
[I keep all graded assignments, classwork, and tests until the final report card for that trimester. This has been fabulous for those times where grades were entered incorrectly or assignments were marked missing. It doesn't happen often, but when it does, I'm glad to have the backup I need before I question the boys or the teacher.]
This year I am straight-up copying my friend Susan. She makes Martha Stewart look disorganized, so when she says a system works for her, I feel pretty confident in appropriating it as my own and doing no further research.
This is what she does.
I couldn't find two accordion files–Susan uses the big ones with the handles–so I bought two Martha Stewart accordions on clearance. I figured if the smaller size doesn't work, paying rock bottom for the files wouldn't hurt as much. And I can always re-purpose them, too.
Here is how I set up Mikey's accordion. Because these accordions are smaller, I doubled up every month except for the beginning and the end of the school year. Nico's doesn't have the student handbook file since only one of those goes home, so I don't know how, or if, I'm going to use the last pocket.
I'll give an update in a few months on how they are working for us.
The Ultimate Post on Day Planners (and Hyperbole)
I have a couple of reasons for this post. First, can you see images? Please let me know if the problem has been resolved for you. Thank you for putting up with the inconvenience, too.
Second, day planners! Specifically, paper ones. I can't handle the new calendar in iOS 7. Appointments disappear or get moved to other days, I'm not getting my alerts, and the wheel date selector makes scheduling difficult for people with man-hands. I already dislike relying on electronic devices and am 1 of 5 people who still uses a paper address book. Also, and here another instance where computer-loving folks will toss their hands up in shock and think I'm really, really dumb: I keep all my passwords in a paper logbook.
That's right! All my passwords in a paper logbook, not in a cloud or in an "impossible to access by hackers" security site online. When people found out about this on Instagram (I shared a picture of my logbook) there was an outcry of warnings and recommendations for online password keepers. I appreciate the concern and welcome the constructive feedback. Here are my thoughts on that: I'm a middle class, unknown woman from suburbia. I doubt I'm the mark of an Ocean's Eleven team of hackers intent on stuffing their coffers with millions. And, God forbid, should a couple of random burglars enter my house when I'm not at home, they won't ransack the place looking for the internet password logbook I may or may not have. "Put down the TV and jewelry box, Bob. Time is of the essence, so let's first figure out if she bought one of those cute password logbooks I saw at Target."
When it comes to online security, I don't believe there is a safe way to protect myself, with the exception of avoiding all online activity and paying for everything in cash. Even then, security is a myth. Identity exposure is the reality of living in a world increasingly dependent upon digital communication, especially if corporations like Target can get hacked twice in less than 6 months. I'm at risk whether I store my passwords in a book or online because it's the act of necessitating a password that puts me at risk. Online or paper, we're all screwed in the end because if someone wants our information, they'll get it. Maybe I'm just a pessimist.
Back to day planners. Anything computer/electronic/online is not an option for me. I know many of you use Google Docs/Calendar or have had great luck with ABC online planner, and that's great! It's not you, it's me. Paper all the way.
The problem I have is that finding the perfect planner is like having fun at a timeshare presentation. It's possible, it's just not likely.
I've spent an obscene amount of time researching planners. It's embarrassing. So embarrassing that the Mister turned to me last night and said, "The amount of time you have spent researching day planners is embarrassing."
I've narrowed down the options and will now crowd-source you for opinions or planners I may have missed.
The ARC Planner by Staples
The Arc Planner by Staples is a letter-sized planner with a neoprene cover. The calendars and paper accessories come separately, allowing for customization. There are plenty of free printables and customizing tips on Pinterest. Arc refills are around $5.00. My concerns: the low price of the planner disappears once you factor in the price of the refills. The 6-ring layout makes it difficult to customize your own refills without a special punch, which makes using the Arc-made refills an easier option. That's intentional, I'm sure.
The Simplified Planner by Emily Ley
The Simplified Planner by Emily Ley is clean and simple. The available patterns are limited, but I like them, aside from the pink key-pattern. The size is 9×10. The daily schedules are from 7am-7pm in half-hour increments, which is a must for me since I need the planner to keep track of my library schedule, doctor appointments, swim team, music, choir, and the Mister's travel schedule. An appointment calendar isn't necessary for many people, but it is for me. Each page has a to-do list, a spot for notes, and a spot for dinner plans. There is plenty of white space and the layout isn't cluttered. This planner would be perfect for me except for the calendar year organization. I absolutely need a planner with an academic calendar.
Do it All Planner by Orange Circle Studio
This planner is by Orange Circle Studio, but it represents that category of day planners you can find in stationery stores or big box stores. These planners are small, sturdy, and simple. The price is reasonable. Rarely are the days organized in 30 minute increments, but in the case of the Do it All Planner, there is enough room for multiple appointments in one day. Still, I need the time increments to avoid double booking myself. There is no real way to customize the planner or refill pages, which means you're buying something new every year. Because the price is low, that's okay.
The Life Planner by Erin Condren
If you are a blogger or read blogs, you might have heard of this planner. Erin Condren is the chevrons of day planners. They life planners are colorful, full of pattern, come with 300 bells and whistles, and can be customized to within an inch of your life. There are pockets and stickers and rulers and coil clips and gift labels, and contact pages, and blank pages, and lined pages, and stationery pages, and a little monkey that follows you around each day playing a music box to alert you of your appointments.
The number of reviews and youtube customization videos devoted to this planner is overwhelming. In fact, everything about this planner is overwhelming. It's too much for me. Too much color, too much pattern, too girly, too much everything. Even the commercials are too much.
Is it a planner? Is it a scrapbook? I don't have time to make Easter Egg shapes out of washi tape, that much I can tell you. I don't do brunch with girlfriends. The daily schedule is morning, day, evening–no 30 minute increments. I spent an hour looking at patterns and couldn't find one I truly liked. I'm pretty sure this planner isn't for me.
2014-2015 Plum Paper Designs Planner
The Plum Paper Designs Planner is another popular planner among bloggers. It's not an Erin Condren, but it's slowly but surely capturing market share. There are a lot of "Why I ditched my Erin Condren for Plum Paper" videos out there. The Plum Paper planner is cheaper, so that's good. The planner is 7.5×9 with a plastic cover and spiral binding. The pages are semi-customizable, which means I can organize my days in increments. Best of all, I decide the month I want to start my calendar. No waste, no juggling another calendar until January. This is a huge selling feature for me! There are some bells and whistles, but not so many that I'm overwhelmed or feeling like I'm wasting time and paper.
I don't like most of the patterns, so that's too bad. I also don't like the frosted plastic cover that protects the patterned cover underneath. That makes me think the patterned cover isn't durable. I'm not confident in the spiral binding.
Out of all of the planners I've looked at, the Plum Paper is the one I will most likely buy. We'll see. I still have a couple more weeks to make a last-minute decision.
OK, so. Anyone else out there using a paper planner, or am I a lone ship at sea?
A Daily Deal
A few weeks ago asked me to check out their new feature. I debated doing it because involved online shopping, which I like to avoid as often as possible. When I decide I want something, I want it right then and without the cost of shipping. This is a problem when you don't live near the "cool" stores and explains why my house falls low on the Blogger Scale of Chevrons and Quirky Home Decor. But, I agreed to do it because I know from reading blogs that daily sales programs are the way to go for items like rugs, mirrors, and other big-ticket home accessories.
Important: I've purchased from Wayfair many times and have never had a problem. They're one of the very few online companies I use aside from Amazon.
More important: I really wanted an outdoor rug.
Most important: they gave me $100 to try it.
The other problem I have with daily sales is that you have to be on top of it to grab the best sales, especially if you live on the West Coast. Those New Yorkers have 3 hours on me! I was not on top of things, which should surprise no one, and missed a few really great deals on outdoor rugs. This annoyed me, so I decided to give up the rug dream and focus my efforts on an area of the site I knew few people would venture: . Check out that link if you're looking for a stainless steel potting bench.
Success! I bought 6 large hanging planters for our front and back porches. I spent $117. Buying hanging planters has been on my list for a long time, but I wanted 6 larges one at $35-$40 each. I didn't want to spend $300 (factoring in plants) on something I wasn't sure I could keep alive in our climate, so I never pulled the trigger. The daily deal (and the $100) made snapping up this deal an easy decision.
My plan for this post–I was so excited when the planters arrived!–was to share pictures of them filled and hanging pretty against a summer sky. Instead, they're sitting in their boxes because I'm scared to mess them up. The planters are pretty and of good quality. My brain might explode if I see them filled with dead or dying plants.
This much I know: I'm zone 9 and my front and back porches face west and east respectively. The front porch gets full sun and the back porch is partially shaded morning sun. There is some dappled southern light on both porches. The baskets would hang over a bed, so I'm not worried about water dripping onto the floor or furniture. That should make watering them easier.
And watering them is what worries me. The have coconut liners, so that should help, but it's still a fact that I live in a dry, hot climate. I've heard some people line the base of their hanging baskets with disposable diapers to keep the moisture in!
I think I'm going with fuchsias for the shady back porch with eastern morning sun. They remind me of being a newlywed. I wanted a fuchsia tree for our front porch but we faced west, on a hill of decomposed granite, in a new development devoid of trees. Even I couldn't convince myself it would work. I need to do some more research on them, but I hear there's some regular feeding and fussy watering involved.
For the front, I'm considering million bells/petunias. I've had luck with them at our old house, and that place was like living on the surface of the sun. I'm also considering hanging succulents because that picture of the succulents hanging from the mulberry tree needs to be replicated with my Chinese elm.
Sigh. Something tells me that I'm going to have to just plant something in there and see what happens before I end up treating hanging baskets with the same guarded optimism I treat online shopping.

a a m n 0 9 E3. 4 i a I PATENTH] MAY 3 3 i975 SHEEI 2 OF 2 A A A COLLAPSIBLE WALL CONTAINER BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to portable, collapsible wall containers for use in heavy-duty applications such as the storage of heavy metal parts or scrap from a production operation. The walls of the container are collapsible to facilitate storage when not in use. Such containers must be portable, readily storable and yet extremely durable.
Typical prior art collapsible wall containers often have a reinforced steel floor and rigid reinforced side walls connected to the floor by, for example, hinges. The walls of the prior art containers are pivotal on the hinges from a vertical position to a horizontal storage position onto the steel floor.
Because the side walls of these prior art containers are rigid and must be folded over one another when placed in the storage position, they are bulky and difficult to store when not in use. Thus even when these containers are collapsed and stacked, they take up valuable space. Furthermore, the rigid side walls and the hinges are subject to damage through heavy use which often prevents proper collapsing of the side walls.
The present invention provides a means for compactly collapsing the walls of the container onto the rectangular floor. At the same time when the walls are extended to their upright position, they are strong and yet resilient enough to be capable of withstanding heavy use including side impact loading.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The invention comprises a collapsible walled container having a floor and vertical legs on each corner of the floor. An upper extending body section on each of the legs defines an open, axial socket for removably receiving vertical support posts therein. An open mesh, non-selfsupporting, resilient wall is connected to the periphery of the floor and is extendible to a vertical upright position. Opposing catch bolts are located adjacent an upper edge of the wall member for receipt within opposing cammed receiving members on each of the vertical support posts. The catch bolts are placed within the cammed receiving members by vertically stretching the upper edge of the wall member above the receiving members. The stressed wall member urges the catch bolts within the receiving members, thereby locking the wall member and support posts in a stable, vertical upright position.
BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS FIG. 1 is a perspective view of the collapsible wall container of the present invention;
FIG. 2 is an end view of the collapsible wall container of the present invention;
FIG. 3 is an end view of two containers of the present invention in a collapsed condition and stacked one upon another for storage;
FIG. 4 is a top view of an unassembled collapsible wall container of the present invention; and
FIG. 5 is a detail view of a corner support member of the container of the present invention.
DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENT Referring to FIG. 1, a collapsible wall container of the present invention is shown. The container 10 comprises a rectangular floor 11 having opposing side frame members 12 connected at right angles to opposing end frame members 13 to define the periphery of the floor l1. Reinforcing members 14 are connected across the floor 11 to the side frame members 13 at intervals to provide strength and rigidity to the floor member. An expanded metal grid 15 is connected over the frame members 12 and 13 and the reinforcing members 14 to provide a floor surface to the container 10. A fork lift bracket 16 is connected to each of the 7 two end frame members 13 to facilitate the use of the container 10 as a pallet in conjunction with a fork lift truck.
Socket supports 17 are connected to each corner of the rectangular floor 11. The socket supports 17 each include a leg 18 which extends below the surface of the floor. Feet 19 are connected to the legs 18 and support the container 10 above a floor surface. Each socket support 17 further comprises a body portion 20 which extends above the surface of the floor 11 to provide a means for stacking several containers upon oneanother as will be discussed below. The body portion 20 and the leg portion 18 define a continuous hollow socket 21. A floor plate 22 at the end of the socket 21 mounts the foot 19.
A vertical support post 23, having an exterior dimension complementary to the interior dimensions of the socket 21, is received within each of the sockets 21 as shown in FIG. 1. A lower end of the support post rests against the floor plate 22. The complementary fit between the socket 21 and the support posts 23 provides a secure means of retaining the support posts in an upright position without the use of bolts or like fasteners.
As is best shown in FIG. 5, flange members 24 are connected to the support posts 23 and extend at right angles from the support posts 23 parallel to either the side frame member 12 or the end frame member 13. The flange member 24 includes a tongue portion 25 extending from the support post 23 and defining a cammed notch 26 at its upper surface. The cammed notch 26 comprises a grooved section G and a tapered relieved cam portion C to facilitate collapsing the container 10 as will be discussed below. The flange members 24 are located in vertically spaced pairs on each of the support posts 23; first at an upper position U and second at an intermediate position I for supporting walls 27 of the container as will be explained below.
The walls 27 comprise a chain-link wire mesh which is flexible, vertically collapsible resilient and nonselfsupporting. Each of the four walls 27 is identically constructed and supported by the structure which will be described below. The present description of the wall structure will therefore be isolated to a description of an end wall 28 as shown in FIG. 2.
The end wall 28 is connected to the end frame mem ber 13 by means of a retaining rib 29 which extends through a lowermost portion of the mesh of the wall 28 and is welded to the end frame 13 at studs 30. An opposite, upper-most portion of the end wall 28 is connected to an upper support rail 31 by means of a second retaining rib 29 and studs 30. Lock bolts 32 are connected at opposite ends of the support rail 31 for receipt within the cammed notch 26. An intermediate support rail 33 is connected at a vertical, mid-portion of the wall 28 by fasteners 34 and is located for engagement of a second set of lock bolts 32, on the intermediate rail 33 within the cammed notch 26 of the flanged members 24 in the intermediate position I on the support posts 23.
In order to erect the chain-link end wall 38, [or any of the remaining walls 27, as their structure is identical] the support rail 31 is grasped and raised until the lock bolts 32 register with the cammed notches 26 in the flange members 25. The relieved cam portion C of the cammed notch 26 initially receives the lock bolt 32. The taper of the cam portion C toward the groove portion G causes the lock bolt to slide into registry in the cammed notch 26. The lock bolts 32 on the intermediate support rail 33 are similarly brought into registry with the respective cammed notches 26 on the flange members 24 located at the intermediate level I.
The vertical height of the wall 28 in a non-stretched condition is slightly undersized so that the lock bolt 32 on the upper support rail 31 cannot be brought into position without stretching the chain-link mesh above the level of the flange members 24, at the upper level U on the support posts 23, and lowering the lock bolts 32 into position against the relieved cammed portion C. The stretched chain-link wall tends to urge the support rail 31 downwardly toward the non-stressed position of the wall 28. As the stressed chain-link wall 38 urges the upper support rail in a downward direction, the lock bolt 32 slides into registry in the notch 26 to securely hold and lock the lock bolts 32 in their respective notches 26. In this manner the chain-link wall 28 acts as a spring to retain the upper support rail 31 in position and thus hold the end wall 28 in an upright position. Furthermore, the thus supported vertical wall 28 urges and locks the support posts 23 within the respectainer within the respective hollow sockets 21 of the first container as is shown in FIG. 3. The body portions of the socket support 17 extend above the tive hollow sockets 21, thus rendering the wall a solid integrated structure which will not collapse under heavy use.
The intermediate support rail 33 is connected at a position on the wall 28 to permit engagement of the respective lock bolts 32 thereon with their cammed notches 26 only by flexing the chain-link wall above the flanged members at the intermediate position I on the support posts 23. The intermediate support rail 33 is engaged with the cammed notches 26 in the same manner as is the upper support rail 31. The chain-link wall 28 therefore springs and locks both support rails 31 and 33 in place and the rails 31 and in turn suspend the wall 28 in an upright position.
When all four walls are thus erected the container is securely connected to the support posts 23. On the other hand, if it is desired to partially lower one or several of the walls 27 (See FIG. 1), the upper support rail can be disengaged from the cammed notches 26 and an upper portion of the disengaged wall 27 dropped to the level of the intermediate support rail 33 which is still connected to the support post 23. In this manner, the container provides a wall which can be lowered or raised to varying heights for use, for example, as a parts storage bin.
As shown in FIGS. 3 and 4, the container 10 can be completely collapsed for storage by disengaging all of the support rails 31 and 33 from the cammed notches 26, removing the support posts 23 from their respective socket supports 17, placing the support posts 23 on the floor, and folding the chain-link walls 27 over the floor 1 1.
A second, like container 10 can then be stacked upon the first container 10 by engaging each of the lower leg portions 18 of the socket support 17 in the second confloor 11 of the container 10 a sufficient distance to permit clearance by the fork lift bracket 16 of the folded walls 27 and the support posts 23 folded within the first container 10.
The invention thus provides a means of compactly stacking and storing extremely strong and resilient container structure which can be easily erected and used. It can be appreciated that the present invention of a resilient chain-link wall member in conjunction with a collapsible container as described is not restricted to any single number of support posts or to the shape per se of the container. Therefore any embodiments of the invention having varying numbers of support posts or shapes are intended to fall within the spirit and scope of the following claims.
What I claim is:
1. A container comprising a floor, support members connected to said floor, vertical posts removably received by said support members, a resilient wall member having a first lower edge connected adjacent a periphery of said floor, said wall member being vertically stretchable from afirst, non-stressed condition to a second, stressed condition, catch means connected adjacent a second upper edge of said wall members and means on each of said posts for receiving said catch means only when said wall member is stretched to the second stressed condition; whereby said wall member urges said catch means within said receiving means to resiliently lock said wall member in an upright position.
2. A container according to claim 1 wherein said resilient wall member comprises wire of a non-self supporting open mesh.
3. A container according to claim 1 wherein said catch means comprises a horizontal support nail connected adjacent said second upper edge of said wall member and catch members on opposite ends of said support bar for registry with said receiving means on said support posts.
4. A container according to claim 1 wherein said receiving means comprises a flange on an upper edge of each of said support posts, said flange defining a notch therein for receiving said catch means.
5.

"My fiance and I loved the wedding invitation we ordered. We ordered in the pearl paper (which is a little thicker). I adore the design on the back of the card. The only negative was we had to pay extra for stamps because of the square shape."
"This was exactly what I was looking for in an invitation! Very romantic and great quality. The process was so simple and I received my order in less time than originally stated. Highly recommend!"
"I liked the feedback received from your designer on requesting final approval. It showed you cared about getting the product to my satisfaction."
"loved the way my wedding invitations came out. I was surprised how beautiful the gold ink looked. also the paper was perfect and the design truly is elegant and soooo much better in person than on the screen."
"we chose the navy design. i was very impressed with the quality of paper, it was just thick enough to feel like a special invitation. the printing was perfect. my fiance was very particular with the wording at the bottom, we changed to "drinks, dinner, and dancing to follow" and he insisted on the oxford comma, and they edited it for us and they turned out perfect. very pleased with the quick delivery."

One of my users (one of the big money makers here) walks up and said…"So, I play this game 'Crime City' on my iPhone. I can't seem to play it on our WiFi, so then I have to switch to my cellular connection to play it. If I keep it open, then I won't get robbed, if I keep having to switch networks, then I get robbed."
Thinking to myself: "Here it comes…"
"I'd like you to open up the network web-filter thing so I can play my game…I mean, it's not porn or anything."

This story republished with permission by the Daily WTF:
"Hey, can you give me a hand? This computer I built won't boot."
Alexander sighed, and went to see what Nicholas had done now.
Only a few weeks before, around the start of the year 2001, Alexander was full of hope and optimism for the new century. He and his co-workers called themselves the "AnyKey Men": they fixed and built desktops, fed the printers, and showed the users how to find the "any key". Alexander had a great IT manager, and some great co-workers, and was happy with his job.
Then his manager left. Alexander had been his right-hand man, and assumed he would be promoted. As much sense as promoting internally might have made, the job went to Nicholas.
Nicholas brought with him a raft of certifications purchased from a local training company. More important, he was the owner's cousin. And more important than that: Nicholas's mother assured everyone that he was very good with computers.
Nicholas believed his own hype, and came in the first day full of swagger. He didn't understand what a command-line was, made a racially offensive "whooping" sound when Alexander mentioned Apache, and needed help finding the "any key". Each time Alexander had to correct something or fix some mistake Nicholas had made, Nicholas hated him a little bit more. Alexander tried to explain to the owner that Nicholas wasn't actually qualified, but simply got scolded for his "negative attitude" and his "sabotage" of his new boss.
And now, Nicholas was actively seeking out Alexander for help. He must have seriously screwed up this computer.
Alexander started by pushing the power button, just to see what happened. The fans spun up, but nothing else happened- no POST beeps, no blinking lights, nothing. Alexander popped the side of the case, expecting to see something horrible and obviously wrong, but at a cursory glance, the only thing wrong was the sloppy cabling. He traced, disconnected and resat all of the key cables. The green LED on the mainboard lit up, indicating it got power.
That still didn't fix anything. Alexander checked a few more obvious things, then reached in, past the rat's nest of cables, to pull the heat sink from the CPU. It slid right off into his hand, because it wasn't properly seated. There wasn't a drop of thermal grease, either.
"You really need to put thermal grease on here."
"I totally did," Nicholas protested. "I used a bunch."
Alexander ignored his obvious lie, and reached in to pull out the CPU . It was a Socket-A style mount, which had a lever to release the chip. When Alexander pulled on the lever, it refused to budge. The CPU wobbled in the socket, something that the Socket-A mount was supposed to render impossible. It either was seated or it wasn't.
Alexander put a little more force onto the lever, and after some unpleasant crackling, the socket slid open. The chip practically jumped out of the socket, overjoyed to be free of its restraints. A glob of thermal grease jumped out from beneath it. Nicholas hadn't been lying.
Socket-A mounts, like most CPU mounts, were designed to allow a chip to enter one way. When the chip was oriented correctly, it would simply slide into the mount with no friction. Any other orientation would refuse to let the chip in. It was essentially fool-proof.
Everything is fool-proof until they invent a better fool. When the chip didn't slide into place, Nicholas slathered an inch of lubricant on the pins and then jammed the chip into the socket like it was going into the backseat of a Volkswagen.
"Can you fix it?" Nicholas asked.
Alexander looked at the bottom of the chip. Pins were bent and a few were broken. By rights, the ceramic base should have given out with that kind of pressure, and it was only because fate loves idiots that the chip wasn't broken into a pile of shiny pieces. "No."
This wasn't just any desktop that Nicholas had ruined. This particular computer was bound for the owner's desk. Nicholas had proudly ordered the best parts available, and had spent weeks bragging about how awesome the computer would be.
The computer was broken, and Alexander was the last person to touch it. Nicholas cried to his cousin, who screamed at Alexander. Threats of unemployment flowed freely. Frustrated, Alexander returned to his desk and checked his email.
There was a note from his old boss. A new position had opened up, and he wanted Alexander to apply.

East Palo Alto house fire suspicious, fire officials say

I've had it w/residents housing people in their garages. The majority of these conversions are illegal - & many are dangerous. Many of the residents don't give a darn how these conversions affect their neighbors as well. If we had a bigger inspection dept., these could be better dealt with.
I am glad, all the same, that no one was injured. How strange that they think that the fire started in a van. What the heck?

A word from Gram & Dun
Gram & Dun is an American gastropub with culinarily-driven fare, paying special attention to pairing food with libations. It's a place "for the people" where we can relax and enjoy the neighborhood vibe while we test theories of food, drink and the evolution of good times. People need a place that calls to them when they find the time to relax, shrug off the day, and savor a meal that's unique and extraordinary; a place where they feel they belong. Our local owners and staff bring a unique, modern environment to this ideal Plaza location where we have revived the best patio in town, making Gram & Dun an enticing landmark for locals and visitors alike. In addition, Gram & Dun honors the traditional by bringing revered dishes to the forefront and adding our own special touch, and welcomes seasonality by adjusting to the natural changes our tastes succumb to as the year progresses, all in an effort to provide the best to patrons.

- Only a few decent dishesOpenTable Diner Since 2012Dined on 10/7/2014I specifically went to Gram and Dun to get the baked potato gnocchi but of course they were completely sold out and I had to pick another option. I chose the beef tenderloins and unfortunately, they were dry without much flavor. It seems as though they have a few specialty dishes that are spectacular but the rest of the menu is more of a filler. I must also note that you shouldn't come in later in the evening because they had run out of several main dishes, as well as, several desserts so my party was constantly having to change their orders and reorder items.Special Features:

- Mike144Dined on 10/4/2014There were 5 of us. We were seated in an area behind the bar, kind of a "back room," where we felt like we were missing out on the fun out front. But we had a great time anyway. My Beefeater martini, which I ordered "very dry, not dirty" came back dirty. Such a simple drink but bartenders get it wrong at least half the time. They quickly replaced it with a perfectly mixed one. But, the food ! . . . From the appetizer to the dessert, the food was out of this world! We got 5 different entrees and they were all fantastic. I strongly recommened the Asian Pig Wings appetizer. I will definitely be going back.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

- AmazingOpenTable Diner Since 2013Dined on 10/2/2014Our birthday party of five had an amazing dinner experience. The bartender was helpful, attentive and knowledgable about the variety of drinks our party enjoyed. Then our server delivered the same level of service as we peppered him with our questions regarding the menu. He was spot on with his recommendations. The food was amazing. Each of us ordered something different and we all loved every last bite so much that we could not bring ourselves to share with each other. We didn't think it could get any better until dessert arrived. It was hands down the best dessert we have had in KC this year. Everyone agreed that this is our new go to place.Special Features:
- okEnjoydiningout01Dined on 9/29/2014I think I ordered the wrong thing. Got the catfish, just okay. Had the blt Gnocchi, that was good and the other pasta it was good but nothing to get excited about. Service was ok, it just didn't do for me.Special Features:
- 1st wedding anniversaryBerberDined on 9/28/2014Went here for our 1st wedding anniversary since we were told it was more of a "special experience" place. The wine list was great, the restaurant was great, the food was just ok. Would recommend to a friend for something new and special, but we probably wont be coming back unless we come with more people.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- One of the City's Top SpotsLukeDined on 9/28/2014Every time my wife and I dine at Gram and Dun, it has been impressive. The food and service is always excellent and the ambiance of dining on the riverfront is second to none. Already looking forward to the next visit.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great Brunch!BobbyVIPDined on 9/28/2014We had a group of 8, and open table only allowed 6. I made the reservation, and then called and adjusted up to 8. They had no issue, and had our table ready! It was a Sunday afternoon, service was prompt (great job Chris!!) on the ball, and the food was fabulous! Great job, as this is a great place... keep up the great work!Special Features:
- Hostess/serversClassyCocktailDined on 9/27/2014I really enjoy GD however the one thing that truly brings this dining experience to a low is the attitude of the hostesses and servers. I worked in the industry for 10 years and when not even one hostess can be bothered (there were 4) to acknowledge our arrival, it puts a sour feel to the dining experience. Lastly, my sister ordered a glass of champange and the server took it upon herself to pick a $17 glass... Doing things like this to raise the bill end up reflecting poorly on the restaurant and staff.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great evening with familyKCBluesAndFoodVIPDined on 9/21/2014My wife and I along with our daughter and son-in-law had dinner after the Art Fair. We were seated outdoors and the atmosphere was fantastic. Everything was delicious. I asked our waitperson to bring me a Sazerac cocktail. Best I've had including the ones I've had in New Orleans. My wife asked for a no alcohol cocktail and asked the waitperson to "make the call." Again a well made beverage.Special Features:
- excellent service and foodplazaeaterVIPDined on 9/20/2014Dined at there on a busy Sat night during the art fest. Seated right on time at a great table. Server Kalie was awesome, get recommendations and right amount of attention duting the meal. The shrimp and grits and burrata were wonderful. one of the better meals I've had in KC in a while. The patio scene was fun for people watchingSpecial Features:
- FantasticAgnes54Dined on 9/19/2014Tripadvisor had great reviews for Gram & Dun so my husband and I made a reservation and were very pleased. Our server, Sam, was attentive and helpful. We had French Onion Dumplings to start with - they were like a deconstructed onion soup and, although fried, were light and tasty. We then each had a Goat side salad which was delicious. My husband had the Pork belly entree with pretzel spaetzle - the pork was delicious but the spaetzle was just ok. I had the Scallops and cleaned my plate! We then shared the Cracked UP for dessert which was like a cookie wedge. It was rich but yummy - we were very glad we shared a piece. We left the restaurant full but had no regrets.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

I had the hanger steak. Ok but not very flavorful. My friend had the scallops and it was just OK. he felt there was not enough to eat. Although this place seems to be the IN place to be and be seen, I don't think I will be going back. Also thought it was overpriced for what you got. My friend had 2 glasses of wine and I had 1 cozmo and the bill was over $100 before tip.Special Features:

Climate activists promise festive mood, giant salmon at Capitol event

Hundreds of climate activists are expected to hit Oregon's capitol to ask lawmakers to consider enacting a carbon tax.
The Oregon Climate Action Day will feature a healthy dose of meetings and speeches. While advocates lobby some 25 legislators on the option, supporters will set up a festival-of-sorts, featuring music and food, next to the Capitol building in Salem.
Portland State University researchers had determined a carbon tax it would bolster the state's budget, by as much as $2 billion over 20 years, while cleaning the air.
Opponents maintain the idea wouldn't work because high energy prices already limit the amount of carbon that infiltrates the air.
Climate Action Day participants will display a giant salmon art installation on the Capitol's lawn.
The event begins Wednesday at 11 a.m. Speakers will address the topic starting at 12:15 p.m.
