Smart Bomb PSP
- Publisher: Eidos Interactive
- Release Date: May 10, 2005
- Summary: Smart Bomb delivers a tense gameplay experience as players are faced with a series of fast paced, challenging 3D puzzles based around diffusing sophisticated AI bombs. Gamers are faced with a series of bomb modules split into tiers and each tier must be disabled to unlock the next. As a tier is disabled the player moves closer to the detonator at the core of the bomb which must be deactivated before moving onto a new challenge. Single player action includes story, arcade and challenge modes while multiplayer mode challenges four players in a series of head to head gaming action. [Eidos Enteractive]… Expand

- Genre(s): Puzzle

- Cheats: On GameFAQs
- More Details and Credits »
Score distribution:
Positive: 1 out of 19
Mixed: 7 out of 19
Negative: 11 out of 19
Smart Bomb will make you alternately hate and love it. You'll swear, curse, kick and scream, and come back for more. If you're up to the challenge, Smart Bomb will give you one of the best puzzle experiences in years.
Many of the minigames simply aren't much fun the first time, but they become horrendously painful by the fifth try. In short, thie Bomb is a dud. [June 2005, p.137]
There are better puzzle games out there, and games that do not pretend to be something they are not.
The biggest thing that make this game get such a low score is non-responsive controls and framerate issues will make you want to slam your precious PlayStation Portable against a brick wall.
Unforgivably unresponsive controls and a series of poor structural choices quickly reveal themselves and deeply undercut every positive point the game provides. [July 2005, p.95]
Score distribution:
Positive: 2 out of 3
Mixed: 0 out of 3
Negative: 1 out of 3
BillyjoeD.May 26, 2005Awesome game frustrating though at times, cause u gotta start the whole bomb over every time u screw up.
JoseMay 13, 2005Short load times.Pretty good game, although it does get frustrating. Most of the even early level puzzles are challenging. An innovative game for the PSP.… Expand
RobertMay 12, 2005This may be the most frustrating game i've ever played. It is by far the worst game i've played for the psp. The controls fight while you try to figure out in 45 seconds how to acomplish complex goals. the screen shakes and can make it hard to see just whats going on and if you don't get one puzzle right you start from the begining of the level. I was looking forward to this one and hoped it would be a unique puzzle game but instead i get a steaming turd of a game.… Expand

I'm looking for 3 dps that are interested in running challenge mode dungeons a couple times a week (or more if people are able to).
You should have:
- At least 463 piece in every slot
(your gear is scaled down to that item level so anything above doesn't make much of a difference)
- Food and flasks for gold attempts (I can help out with this if you don't have the gold)
- Invis pots would be great and are needed for some gold runs
- Skype or Vent. Me and my healer will be on Skype so that would be preferred but we can make vent work if that's not an option for you (a mic is not needed but always welcome).
- A basic understanding of the heroic dungeon boss fights. I welcome any strats that you may have for challenge runs as I'm going off some video/guides I've found as well as figuring it out as we go.
- Solid damage as the gold attempts will be a tight dps check
- And be willing to wipe a lot and reset frequently.
Sadly most of the dungeons seem to be really ranged friendly so ranged classes are preferred but I would be ok with 1 melee 2 ranged.
Our setup right now is:
- Warrior tank
- Paladin healer
- ? (I'd like to have a boomkin for run speed)
- ? (Mage would be great for lust/cc)
- ? (Spot is pretty much open)
The goal is obviously to get gold in all dungeons but we will start with silver in each as its relatively easy apart from a couple dungeons. In Case you didn't know bronze in all gets you a title, silver a mount, and gold transmog gear.
You can also be on a different server as cross realm id works still. If you are in a raiding guild we can schedule a time/day that doesn't mess up your raids.
Let me know if you are interested by messaging me in-game, send a letter, or respond here. Can also add me to real id. Rokano#1548

im very interested if still looking for melee
We actually finished our gold runs about a week ago but are planing on running an alt group sometime soon. So if you are interested in that let me know what class/spec you would be able to bring.

Hey Rokano,
Recently PvE mainswitched to this toon. I'd be totally down to do another gold run with you guys, just let me know the day/time you'd like to do this so I know not to RBG during that time.
Hey Rokano,
Ok awesome. Me and venid will probably be putting the group together early next week so we'll def keep you in mind.

The debate over cameras in the Supreme Court is longstanding these days — but what about technology in courtrooms all over the country? One Knight News Challenge winner this year, Order in the Court 2.0, wants to bring new media to the judiciary.
I spoke with the man behind the idea, John Davidow, executive editor in charge of WBUR.org, the remarkable website for one of Boston's public radio stations. Davidow said that the idea is to get the third branch of government to travel the same path to digital transparency that the legislative and executive branches have begun to do. Davidow said the court system has, by and large, continued to operate under the same video and audio recording standards it adopted in the 1970s and 1980s.
"The courts have sort of gone further and further way from the public and public access. In the old days, they were built in the center of town," he told me. "The community was able to walk into the courts and see what was going on. Modern life has done away with that. The bridge that was going in between the courts and the public was the media. The media has just less resources."
Davidow's idea, which Knight awarded $250,000, is to use one courthouse as a laboratory, out of which will come a set of best practices and case studies for courtrooms across the country to reference. The test kitchen is the Quincy District Court here in Massachusetts, a courthouse Davidow described as ideal: Its chief judge is open to the idea, and the courthouse has a tradition of dabbling in new technologies. It's also one of the busiest courthouses in the state, so it should also serve as a good model for even large courthouses.
I asked Davidow about how his idea differs from existing efforts to use new media in courthouses across the county. He explained that the problem is consistency: Decisions about new media decisions are made on a case-by-case basis, not systematically. Some judges make decisions based on space, others on whether a particular technology will disturb the court. The outcome is mixed: Yes, bloggers, you may cover the Scooter Libby trial, but, no Rod Blagojevich, you may not tweet during your trial. Davidow is also concerned about how many courthouses do not use new media themselves, not even making the daily docket available online.
Davidow hopes that a set of standards could help make new media and technologies that foster transparency and openness become just another normal part of the courthouse. One of the most interesting ways he thinks he'll be able to achieve systematic success is through a broad network of stakeholders, already pieced together. "When I started formulating this, I made an awful lot of calls," he told me. "I was fortunate enough to to find a conference of chief court information officers. They're working on this same exact issue. They're all trying to figure it out nationally." The Conference of Court Public Information Officers has agreed to release a report at the end of the project, providing a framework for courts to handle new media questions. The Massachusetts Supreme Judicial Court Judiciary-Media Committee, composed of both journalists and judges, voted unanimously to support this project. Boston University's School of Communication has volunteered to train "civic journalists" and court personnel. Our friends at Harvard's Citizen Media Law Project, just down the street from the Lab, have also agreed to help.
Courts move slowly, and Davidow is prepared to face that challenge: "The term deliberation means something," he joked. But with his test kitchen going, and many stakeholders supporting his effort, he hopes to get courthouses moving in a new media direction.

I liked the way you just pulled it out of the box and slapped it into place. What I didn't like is that it had a skunky smell. It was so bad, that people compared it to marijuana. The smell has dispersed now and I think the liner is great.

I am now on my second 240v. Advantium oven because I simply can't live without one! Back in 2000, I bought one of the first Advantiums being sold and it was a 240v. over the cooktop unit. In TEN YEARS of daily use, it didn't even have a light bulb burn out. My then-teenage son used the Advantium *constantly*, but even he couldn't damage the 'bullet-proof' Advantium. When I moved in 2010, I bought a 240v. Advantium 30 in. wall oven which I use many times a day and it's PERFECT. Just like the previous Advantium, NOTHING breaks on it in spite of constant use. Yes, there's some smoke and mess if you're cooking sausages without any cover, but it's otherwise EXCEPTIONAL. I just bought my THIRD Advantium 240v. oven to install downstairs in the rec room. The 110v. Advantium units are NOT the same and I don't recommend them due to reliability issues and slower cooking. Seriously, I tell everyone to BUY an Advantium 240v. oven and they'll never regret it! I've professionally designed many 'upscale' kitchens and GE appliances are MUCH more reliable than the "designer brands". For my own kitchens, I buy GE!

We did not have a lot of options with our builder but did decide to upgrade to this mircowave oven and have not been disappointed we did. The options are great and it cooks quickly.
I like the oven
By Brugo
from Undisclosed
I bought this two months ago and have used most of the functions. The microwave and convection functions are easy to use and work well. The speed cook function works really well, but takes some trial and error on adjusting the settings for your recipes. It really speeds up cooking, but browns and toasts like a conventional oven. We are very happy with it.
Amazing Appliance

I bought this Advantium to replace my old Advantium. I use it almost every day and I just couldn't go back to a regular microwave. It is so much more.
Great product
By Heetsty
from Annapolis, MD, United States
We had one of these for 10 years at our old house and missed it so much after moving we got another one. The new model has a lot more features, but most importantly still cooks things so quickly and so perfectly that I highly recommend it. I acknowledge that it is expensive, but if you take the time to get used to the speedcook features they will change your life!
Easy to use and so fast!

My go-to oven
By racerartist
from Menasha, WI, United States
This oven is awesome, second one I have owned since leaving the first one in a house we sold. It's amazing how it cooks chicken, salmon, steak to perfection. The only thing I would really like is a better guide when custom cooking. You need to find a recipe similar in the cookbook to know what to do. A chart of different levels and cook times would be great.

This is a supplemental oven in our basement bar - it's great for the kids to heat up frozen pizzas, etc.. and appetizers during parties. Also good as that extra 3rd oven for the holidays. Had some electrical issues at first, but turns out it was my circuit breaker.

This is a replacement for my old advantium oven that I used EVERY time I cooked. I am not a wiz in the kitchen and when I am hungry I want to eat! This oven changed everything for me. I could not imagine not having this technology. It worth the price. I really do not even use my regular oven any more.

228 NE 59th St.
Miami, FL 33137
Category: Art Galleries
Region: Midtown/Wynwood/Design District
Miami may be an urban jungle, but it can be difficult to feel connected to the real wilderness when you spend your life among the construction cranes and skyscrapers within city limits. So the Verde Gardens Community Farm and Market is a welcome natural oasis. The project, a 22-acre working farm, sets out to provide organic, local produce to the formerly homeless families that work the land to help pay for housing in the Verde Gardens community. Lettuce, tomatoes, broccoli, microgreens, eggplant, and other produce are grown in an environmentally friendly, socially beneficial manner in nearby Homestead. But they can't do it alone. So head to Moksha Family Arts Collective (228 NE 59th St., Miami) this Saturday for Karma Seeds That Feed, a yoga-focused benefit for Verde Gardens. A special yoga class taught by instructors Terri Cooper and Claire Santos is the main attraction, but attendees can also enjoy live music, a 50/50 raffle and silent auction, and massage and Reiki. In keeping with the back-to-nature mission of the farm, the fundraiser will also feature vendors selling healthful food and eco-friendly lifestyle products.

The present invention relates generally to a beverage container holder and, more specifically, to a new and improved beverage container holder for mounting on bicycle handle bars and various types of vehicles using handle bars or exposed tubular frame members.
Bicycles have long been used as inexpensive modes of transportation. However, safe use of bicycles usually requires the use of both hands in operating or steering the vehicle. Indeed, bicycles often have a brake lever on each handle bar. To free both hands of the operator for operating the vehicle and yet provide easy access to a beverage container, there have been a number of various container carriers or other handle-mounted holding devices; e.g., U.S. Pat. No. 4,570,835, to William D. Criqui, et al., issued Feb. 18, 1986; U.S. Pat. No. 4,312,465, to Herman L. Sinkhorn, et al., issued Jan. 26, 1982; and U.S. Pat. No. 4,071,175 to Van C. Wagnon, issued Jan. 31, 1978. However, none of the above mentioned patents specifically describe or suggest the unique features and combination of structure of the subject container holder as described within this application.
Most of the conventional holders are built for a specific location, e.g., for clamping onto the handle bars of the particular vehicle. However, with some vehicles, as with motorcycles and all-terrain-vehicles ("ATV's"), the vehicle may have a speedometer, tachometer or other instrument mounted upon or in close proximity to the handle bars. As a result, it may be difficult to position the holder where desired because of its structure and configuration.
Another limitation of many drink holders is that they are not easily reduced in size for storage when not in use, and thus an empty drink holder configured according to the prior art is often as bulky and obstructive as one which is in use. Thus, many potential users decide not to use such drink holders for aestaetic or functional reasons, since they do not want a large and obtrusive empty drink holder attached to the vehicle.
Furthermore, some conventional container holders can not be adjusted to hold differently shaped beverage containers. For example, beverages may be contained in cartons, which are generally rectangular in shape, as well as in cans and bottles, which are generally cylindrical in shape. Furthermore, the vehicle operator may want to stow and relocate the holder for various reasons. However, because these conventional drink holder devices generally have a rigid unitary construction, rearrangement into a more compact configuration is difficult or impossible.
Since the conventional drink holder may be affixed to the handle bars, rotation of the holder upon the bar may be impaired. As a result, repositioning to expose reflective surfaces when the drink holder is not in use is impaired. Indeed it may be desirous to simply stow the beverage container holder on the handle bars or also to completely remove the beverage container from the handle bars for relocation to a more unobstructive location.
Thus, those who have been involved in the development of beverage container holders have long recognized the need for an improved bicycle drink holder which provides an adjustable, quickly mountable and easily stowable structure. The present invention fulfills all of these needs.
Briefly, and in general terms, the present invention provides a new and improved beverage container holder which is adjustable, detachable and stowable.
By way of example, and not necessarily by way of limitation, the drink holder of the present invention provides a new and improved holder for retaining items upon an elongate structural member such as the handle bars of a vehicle. The drink holder includes a mounting for releasably engaging a tubular member. A storage cavity is formed within the mounting. Retaining arms are detachably mounted upon the mounting and are sized to be received within the storage cavity. The basic construction of the invention will incorporate an all plastic injected molded process. This in turn will make for fast, economical production.
In one preferred embodiment, the drink holder of the present invention includes a connecting post and an adjustable strap which, together, define a receiving bore for releasable engagement of handle bars or other tubular vehicle members. Mounted to the connecting post is a base member having a plurality of guide projections extending outward from the base surface opposite from that mounted to the connecting post. A platform is mounted to and spaced apart from the base to define, together with the base, a cavity sized to receive a plurality of detachable retaining arm. Each detachable retaining arm includes a guide slot for receipt of the guide projections for detachable mounting of each arm to the base. A plurality of beads or ridges are positioned upon the base, adjacent the retaining arms, to enable selective radial positioning of the arm relative the base.
From the above description it can be readily seen that the present invention presents a new and useful apparatus for the holding of a wide variety of drink containers while operating a vehicle such as a bicycle and enhancing rider safety with the reflective material when holder is in the stowed position.
Other features and advantages of the present invention will become apparent from the following detailed description, taken into conjunction with the accompanying drawings, which illustrate, by way of example, the principals of the invention.
FIG. 1 is a perspective drawing of a bicycle drink holder incorporating the novel features of the present invention;
FIG. 2 is an enlarged plan view of the present invention;
FIG. 3 is an enlarged, fragmentary sectional side elevational view taken substantially along the lines 3--3 of FIG. 2;
FIG. 4 is an enlarged, sectional plan view taken substantially along the lines 4--4 of FIG. 3;
FIG. 5 is an enlarged, fragmentary sectional elevational view taken substantially along the lines 5--5 of FIG. 1;
FIG. 6 is an enlarged, fragmentary sectional plan view taken substantially along the lines 6--6 of FIG. 5;
FIG. 7 is an enlarged, fragmentary sectional front elevational view taken substantially along the lines 7--7 of FIG. 6; and
FIG. 8 is a fragmentary perspective view of the present invention with the retaining arms in the stowed configuration.
As shown in the exemplary drawings, an improved drink holder constructed in accordance with the present invention is provided for holding a beverage container within easy reach of the vehicle operator during the operation of the vehicle. In addition, the drink holder of the present invention provides for adjustment to the particular shape of the container and is constructed to permit collapsing or rearranging into a more compact, stowable configuration to facilitate storage of the device when not in use. The stowed device can be quickly rotated about the handle bars, so that the device can function as a normal safety reflector.
Referring to FIG. 1, the improved drink holder 10 of the present invention includes a connecting post 12 which cooperates with an adjustable strap 14 to mount upon an elongate member 16, e.g., the handle bars or tubular frame member of the vehicle. A base 18 is mounted upon the connecting post 12. Detachable retaining arms 20 are mounted to the base 18 in an operational or holding position to define a cavity for receipt of the drink container. A platform 22 is mounted upon and spaced apart from the base 18 such that the base and the platform together, define a storage cavity 24 which is sized to receive the plurality of detachable retaining posts 20 when in the stowed position, which is illustrated in FIG. 8 and described below.
Referring to FIG. 2, mounted upon a base surface 85 is a central cross-brace 86 flanked by posts 88. Extending laterally outward adjacent opposite ends of the central cross-brace 86 are projecting beads 89 for receipt and mounting of the retaining arms 20 upon the base 18. A pair of bosses 90, generally orthogonal to the central cross-brace 86, extend outward from a base surface 91. Extending laterally outward from each of the bosses 90 is a second pair of projecting beads 92 for receipt and mounting of the arms 20 to the base 18. Positioned adjacent each of the projecting beads 89 or 92 are locking ridges 94, which extend outward from the surface 85 of the base 18 to cooperate with the retaining arms 20.
FIG. 2 also illustrates support platform 96, mounted upon the cross-brace 86 and the posts 88 and 89. The support platform 96 is spaced apart from and interconnected with the base 18 by the cross-bracing 86 and posts 88 to define, together with the base, a storage cavity 24. The storage cavity 24 is sized to receive the plurality of retaining arms 20 when the arms are detached from their mounting upon the base 18. A pad 98 with a safety reflecting surface may be mounted upon the support platform 96. By this construction, rotation of the improved drink holder about the handle bar, as more fully described elsewhere in this application, orients the safety reflective surface for use as a reflector. In the preferred embodiment, the improved drink holder can be rotated about 90 degrees to the orient reflective surface in a substantially vertical position.
As best shown in FIG. 3, each post 104 and/or 106 is generally L-shaped with a shorter base portion 108 relative to a longer outwardly extending portion 110. The base portion 108, as best shown in FIG. 4, includes two substantially parallel fingers 112 which define a guide slot 114 extending between the adjacent fingers. The distal ends 116 of each finger terminates in an obliquely angled face 118. In the preferred form, the face 118 is angled at about forty-five degrees relative to the guide slot 114. Extending upward and outward from the distal ends 116 are beads 122 and 184 which abut the platform 22 for the selective positioning of the retaining arms 20 relative to the platform when the shorter base portion 108 is inserted between the platform and the base 18. A saw-tooth surface 123 is formed upon an inwardly facing surface within the guide slot 114 for selective radial positioning of the arm 20 relative the center of the platform 22 in place by cooperating with the projecting beads 89 and 92 extending from the cross-bracing 86 and the boss 91.
As shown in FIG. 3, saw-tooth undulations are formed in the bottom surface 124 of the shorter base portion 108 for cooperation with the locking ridges 94 formed on the top surface of the base 18. This construction allows for the adjustment of the retaining post radially outward relative the center of the base 18 for both the size and peripherial configuration of the container to be held by the bicycle drink holder.
While FIG. 4 depicts the interdigitation of the arm 20 with the engaging boss 140, it will be recognized that the small arm 104 interacts with the cross-bracing 86 in a similar manner. In addition, arms 106 will interact with either the boss 91 or the cross-bracing 86 in a similar manner.
As best shown in FIG. 5, the connecting post 12 has a first end 30 and a second end 32. A first bolt bore 34 is formed adjacent the first end 30 through a back wall 36. Side walls 38, a front wall 40 and a bottom wall 42 extend outward from the back wall 36 and are joined along respective edges to define a box-like recess 44 positioned above the first bolt bore 34. The edges of the side walls 38 and an arcuate portion of the front wall 40 together define a mounting recess 46 which extends transversely across the connecting post 12 for receipt of the tubular member 16. For the purposes of illustration, "transverse across the connecting post" is defined as extending from a first side wall 38 to a second side wall 38'.
The arcuate portion of the front wall may be adapted to increase its gripping coefficient. For example, serrations, teeth, or a pad of elastomeric material may be formed or mounted upon the mounting surface 48. The adjustable strap 14 includes a first end 50, and a second end 52. Adjacent the first end 50 is a straight portion 54 defining a first plane. The straight portion 54 has a second bolt bore 56 formed therein corresponding to the first bolt bore 34 formed in the connecting post 12. Extending outward generally perpendicular to the first plane from the planar or straight portion 54 and positioned adjacent the second bolt bore 56 is a retaining wall 58. Extending generally obliquely outward from the first plane is an arcuate portion 60 extending from the first end 50 to the second end 52.
A bolt 78 or other conventional connecting means with a head 80 may be received through the corresponding bolt bores 34 and 56. If a square headed bolt is used, the upwardly retaining wall 58 and/or the upwardly extending walls defining the box-like recess 44. Portions of the side walls 38, front wall 40 and the bottom wall 42 may reduce the rotation of the square head relative to the adjustment strap 14 when in threaded engagement with a wing nut 82. By this construction, the arcuate recess 46 of the connecting post 12 and the arcuate portion 60 of the adjustable strap 14 together define a receiving bore 84 for clamping engagement with the tubular member 16 upon which the bicycle drink holder 10 of the present invention is mounted. In addition, this construction facilitates a quick release of the clamping engagement, allowing rapid rotation of the improved drink holder 10.
The base 18 is mounted upon the connecting post 12 at the second end 32. By this construction, the base 18 cooperates with the connecting post 12 to define, in part, the T-shaped engaging aperture 74 for receipt of the adjustable strap 14. In a preferred form, the base 18 is eccentrically mounted upon the connecting post 12 to project the center of the base radially outward relative to the central longitudinal axis of the connecting post 12. This allows the bicycle drink holder to avoid contact with other items, e.g., a speedometer, tachometer or other instrument, when mounted upon handle bars. Furthermore, the base 18 is mounted upon the connecting post 12 to orient the arcuate recess 46 of the connecting post 12 such that the central longitudinal axis of the recess 46 is substantially parallel to the displacement of the connecting post 12 relative the center of the base 18. While the base 18 is circular in one preferred form, other geometric configurations may be utilized.
As best shown in FIG. 6, extending inward from the top of each of the front wall extensions 70 and 72 is a tab or catch 76 positioned to cooperate with the notches 64 of the adjustable strap 14.
Referring to FIG. 7, the front wall 40 extends from the arcuate recess 52 between first and second side walls 38 and 38' towards the second end 32 of the connecting post 12. A central slot 68 is defined between a first and second extension 70 and 72 of the front wall 40. These extensions 70 and 72 terminate before the top edges of the side walls 38 and 38', to define together, a T-shaped engaging aperture 74.
Referring to FIG. 8, which illustrates the folded configuration of the drink holder, the larger retaining arms 106 are of similar configuration to the small arms 104, except that the larger posts are sized to receive the smaller arm within the hollow interior 130, defined by the outer walls of the larger arms 106. As a result, the smaller arm 104 may be received within the hollow interior of the larger arm 106, which in turn may be inserted within the storage cavity 24 defined between the platform 22 and the base 18. This construction enables the retaining arms 20 to be detached from their mounting to the base 18 and projecting beads 89 and 92 for storage in a more compact or stowable configuration.
In operation, the connecting post 12 and the retaining strap 14 are positioned about the periphery of the tubular member 16 to which the device is to be mounted upon, e.g., the handle bars of the bicycle or motorcycle. The connecting square headed bolt 78 is inserted through the bolt bores 34 and 56. The wing nut 82 is placed in threaded engagement with the bolt 78 to tightly engage the tubular member 16 within the receiving bore 84, i.e., the arcuate recess 46 of the connecting post 12 and the arcuate portion 60 of the adjustable strap 14. The retaining arms 20 are removed from the storage cavity 24 and inserted over the projecting beads 89 and 92 of the base 18 to define portions of a retaining cavity into which the beverage container is placed. Because the saw-tooth surfaces 123 and 124 will interact with the projecting beads 89 and 91 and the integrated locking ridges 94 on the surface 85 of the base 18, the operator may adjust the positioning of the long portion 110 radially inward or outward from the center of the base.
As a benefit of this construction, the retaining arms 20 can hold a cylindrical item, e.g., a can, or a rectangular structure, e.g., a carton of juice or milk. Furthermore, this construction allows for a quick conversion to a simple reflector device on the handle bars by enabling selective rotation of the improved drink holder about the bar. In addition, this construction allows for easy relocation of the beverage container holder of the present invention to another location on the vehicle by merely releasing the one connecting bolt and detaching and storing the arms in a manner to provide a more compact configuration for storage.
In the presently preferred embodiment, the drink holder is made by using a plastic injection molding process that may not require slides or inserts. This provides for a fast, economical manufacture of the drink holder.
From the above, those skilled in the art will appreciate that the present invention represents a new and useful drink holder for vehicles that embodies many advantages over previously available drink holders. It will also be apparent from the foregoing that, while particular forms of the invention have been illustrated and described, various modifications can be made without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention. Accordingly, it is not intended that the invention be limited, except as by the appended claims.

Winnipeg Free Press - PRINT EDITION
Bitcoin increasingly popular but requires trust
David Keam has seen the future and wants his furniture chain to be a part of it.
The president of Winnipeg-based Best Sleep Centre started accepting Bitcoin at its seven locations last week. He said the popularity of the global digital currency is growing by the minute and as long as people on both sides of transactions believe in it, he's in.
"All currency is based on trust. It has no value whatsoever except if I offer it to you and you take it. It's just another form of payment," he said.
Bitcoins can be downloaded to a digital wallet or a mobile phone and the phone can be used to send and receive them. There's no Bitcoin terminal or point-of-sale system at any of his outlets, so if a customer wants to buy a futon or mattress with Bitcoin, his staff will give them a cellphone number and email address.
"They'll call me and arrange to do a Bitcoin transaction immediately. You bring in your wallet and your key, link them up to mine and your cellphone sends me money through the Internet. Then I take that Bitcoin to an exchange house in Vancouver and they hand me Canadian or U.S. dollars," he said.
Confused? You aren't alone. Merchants and consumers can learn more about Bitcoin on Feb. 15 at CoinFest Winnipeg 2014. The multi-city international event will feature guest speakers, a panel discussion and a question-and-answer session and will be held at Santa Lucia Pizza's St. Mary's Road location from 1 p.m. to 5 p.m.
The afternoon's highlight will be the unveiling of Winnipeg's first Bitcoin ATM machine by local startup company BitTeller.
All about Bitcoin
What is it?
It's a digital currency, electronic cash. It's a little bit like PayPal in that users send and receive payments from one Bitcoin address to another using software or apps. That happens almost instantly, like sending an email, and allows people to bypass the costly bureaucracy of international money transfers. As Wired magazine says, Bitcoin is "a re-imagining of international finance, something that breaks down barriers between countries and frees currency from the control of federal governments."
Are there actual coins?
Yes, but they are mostly gimmicky -- traditional coins with the online codes and passwords embossed on them. Bitcoin is predominantly an online currency spent by clicking your mouse.
What's it worth?
It has fluctuated a bit in recent months after spiking late last year. Right now, one bitcoin is worth about $960. There are 12.2 million bitcoins in circulation now.
What can I buy with it?
Most uses of Bitcoin involve online games and gambling sites, website design, file sharing and other Internet services. Many online stores also accept Bitcoin. But an increasing number of "real-world" places are accepting Bitcoin. Two Las Vegas casinos announced this week they would accept Bitcoin, for example.
How do I get some bitcoins?
This is the tricky part. There are some websites such as VirtEx that allow you to buy bitcoins by linking to your traditional bank account. In Vancouver, Toronto and Ottawa there are local Bitcoin exchanges that work much like ATMs that link to a mobile app on a user's smartphone. Or, you can arrange to meet sellers in person through online exchanges such as LocalBitcoins.
What do governments say about an alternate currency?
Unlike all other currency, Bitcoin is not linked to a government or a central bank like the Federal Reserve. China has already cracked down on some Bitcoin exchanges but so far the U.S. government has taken a hands-off approach with no plans to regulate. That's despite a well-publicized bust of the Silk Road website last year, where users bought and sold illegal drugs using Bitcoin.
"Getting an ATM in Winnipeg is a game-changer," said Josh Nekrep, founder of Bitcoin Winnipeg, a group of local enthusiasts for the digital currency. He said one of its benefits is the ability to send money to anybody in the world essentially for free. (Some transactions are free, some can cost up to six cents, he said, a fraction of the cost of an international bank transfer.)
"We're using financial technologies that were built in the 1950s and shoehorning them into international commerce. It doesn't work very well and it creates opportunity for fraud. Bitcoin is built for the world we live in," Nekrep said.
Count Colin Hamlin as one of the early adopters. The owner of Plato & Company has been accepting Bitcoin at his St. Boniface bookstore for two years.
It only represents a "tiny fraction" of his total sales but he said the process, which includes an exchange of identification numbers, the sending out of a complicated security algorithm and verification in 60 seconds, is virtually impossible to hack.
The same can't be said for credit and debit cards, he said.
"(Bitcoin) is pretty wild. Immediately, I can see your transaction history. If I trust you, there's no problem. If I don't, I can wait for security verification. The longer you wait, the more secure it is. It's a one-in-a-billion chance that you've been hacked," he said.
Give us your two cents on Bitcoin. Will it catch on in Winnipeg?
