The invention relates to a support for a plurality of magnetic tape cassette containers, the containers being of a design permitting removal of the cassette at the container front side.
The support is primarily but not exclusively intended for mounting of a certain number of cassette containers with slide out carriers in a vehicle.
It is an object of the present invention to provide a cassette container support which is simple but has an appealing appearance adapted or adaptable to the vehicle design, the support being suited to combine a number of individual containers to a compact block wherein the containers are shockproved. On the other hand, the support should be easy to manufacture and versatile with regard to its mounting facilities, without requiring amendments in the design of the individual container.
The Solution contemplated by the invention is defined in patent claim 1. The subclaims defined individual features, improvements and embodiments of the principal solution set forth in claim 1, the implication of such subclaim features being explained in detail hereunder with reference to several embodiments of the support, the embodiments being illustrated in the accompanying drawings.

FIG. 23 shows isometrically a support similar to FIG. 1 but for another type of cassette container,
FIG. 24 shows isometrically a support similar to FIG. 7 but for another type of cassette container, and
FIGS. 25 to 29 show isometrically embodiments of supports in accordance with the invention mounted in the central cockpit frame member of a vehicle.
The support illustrated in FIG. 1 serves to hold a number of, say, five cassette containers which form a block 10. Each container has a frontwards opening lid which is the front plate of a drawer on which the cassette is transported out of block 10. The support comprises a U-shaped member 14 with an upper and a lower U-leg 16 and a U-base 18, the latter being position at the rear side of block 10 opposite its front. A sheath 22 made of foamed plastics is stretched about upper and lower leg of member 14 and about the lateral faces of block 10, sheath 22 being fabricated separately--e.g. integrally molded or formed of a strip welded or glued in loop form--and having an outer skin adapted to the design of the respective ambient design, for example, that of a vehicle. Sheath 22 has dimensions such that it firmly engages and, if necessary, is somewhat strained so that its front edge is elastically drawn inwards engaging over the respective front edge of member 14 which is slightly bent upwards, the front edge of the sheath thereby holding block 10 together.
At the rear side of the support, the u-base of member 14 has mounting means. At first, it has four holes 26, preferably provided with screw threads so that brackets 28 may be fastened by means of screws in several positions (FIG. 2 and FIG. 3, respectively), the brackets in turn permitting mounting of the support in a vehicle in a manner frequently used for radio receivers. Further, the U-base is provided with a cut-out guide channel 30 having a somewhat widened inlet opening 32 adjacent the lower U-leg 16. Channel 30 serves the connection with a column 34 comprising a foot portion 36 apt to be fastened by screw bolts, a flexible center portion 38, and a carrier member 40 which may be rotatable with respect to center portion 38 and in turn comprises a carrier plate 42 slightly smaller than the bottom face of the support and a rearwardly upstanding holder plate 44.
The latter has lateral groove profiles 46 complementary to the profile of channel 30 so that it may be pushed unto the holder plate. To eliminate vibration noise during vehicle movement, to the upper end of holder plate 44 a lug 48 having a protruding nose 50' is formed which resiliently snaps into an aperture 52' of the U-base and so secures the connection.
FIG. 6 illustrates how the apparatus so combined may be mounted on the cardan tunnel of a vehicle by means of column 34, the flexible center portion of the column permitting positioning of the cassette containers in an easily accessible orientation; for this purpose, member 40 is rotatable but friction braked on center portion 38.
In the embodiment shown in FIG. 7 sheath 54' combines six containers to a block. While the cassette containers referred to above are vertically stackable, i.e. may be combined to blocks, in this embodiment two sets of three containers each are held together by the sheath only. It will be understood, however, that the vertical mounting held by the sheath alone is possible, too, provided the containers are not inherently designed to have stacking means.
FIGS. 8 and 9 each illustrate embodiments similar to FIG. 1 but slightly modified.
A sheath 52 made of poly urethane foam is stretched about five containers 50. Sheath 52 has an inwardly protruding frame portion 54 at the rear side. The containers are pushed home via the front opening of the sheath 52 wherein they are secured by means of glue or held by friction only. The remainder of the open rear side is covered by a hard plastic plate 56 provided with a central hub 58 which, in turn, houses a nut member 60 secured against rotation.
FIGS. 8a and 8b, respectively, show two possibilities to fasten plate 56: In FIG. 8a, the individual cassette containers are provided with rear holes 62, and locking pins 64 engage into these holes from the inner face of plate 56. Moreover, webs 66 engage into respective apertures of sheath 52. In accordance therewith, the support may be dismantled again, but the containers 50a must have the said holes and therefore are different from the containers usually available on the market.
In the modification illustrated in FIG. 8b, the pins 64 are replaced by ribs 68 and the containers need not have holes. The ribs are provided at their edge facing the containers with energy concentrators 70 for the purpose of ultra sound welding. Upon this welding operation, the containers 50, the sheath, and the rear plate are integrally assembled to a unit.
FIG. 9 shows a modified embodiment. The sheath 72 covers the block of containers with a rear wall 74, too, and a metallic mounting plate 78 is immediately foamed into wall 74 which, as the entire sheath, consists of semi-hard polyurethane foam. Plate 78 has a central screw-threaded bore 76.
It is to be noted that, in contrast to FIG. 1, the front edge of the sheath extends--as in FIG. 8--beyond the front face of the cassette containers 50 and has a rounded profile to provide some upholstery.
FIG. 10 illustrates isometrically the rear view of the support of FIG. 8 with the screw-threaded bore. In a similar manner, supports for 2�3--blocks similar to FIG. 7 may be designed, the rear view being shown in FIG. 11.
For the embodiments shown in FIGS. 8-11 a mounting bracket 80 illustrate in FIG. 12 is preferred. The bracket comprises a foot plate 82 having bolt holes 84--provided with countersunk bores as seen in FIG. 13b--and a carrier arm 86 pivotably connected to the foot plate. Carrier arm 86 has a slot hole 88 apt to permit passage of a mounting screw 90 the shaft of which is to be threaded into the bore of rear plate 58 78 or into nut 60. The screw head is preferably knurled and is illustrated in FIG. 13a-13c which illustrate some of the possible relative positions of bracket 80 and support. As indicated in FIG. 14, a connecting link 92 may be provided between foot plate and carrier arm.
The pivotable connection between foot plate and carrier arm should be apt to be locked in particular for use in a vehicle subjected to permanent vibrations. This will be explained in detail later.
At first, the embodiments of FIGS. 15 and 16 are to be presented; the illustrations correspond to those of FIGS. 10 and 11, resp. In these embodiments, rear plate 94 does not have a central thread bore but is provided at its four edges (FIG. 15) or at two opposite edges (FIG. 16) with insertion apertures 96 having a rectangular section shape, and in alignment with such apertures, a locking hole 98 is provided in the plate. A carrier arm 100 of a mounting bracket 102 fits into each such aperture 96. Bracket 102 is shown in FIGS. 17 and 18. It comprises a foot plate 104 pivotably connected to the carrier arm. The latter has two guide fingers 106 fitting into the respective insertion aperture, and it has moreover a resilient tongue 108 flexed during insertion but apt to engage with its nose 109 into the aligned hole 98. A ledge 110 serves as a stop means. Foot plate and carrier arm are made of plastic but could be made of metal, too.
As in the embodiments of FIGS. 12-14, the pivots should be lockable in these designs, too. FIGS. 19 and 20 illustrate lock mechanisms suited for this purpose.
Carrier arm 100 (or 86) is provided with a hole extending aligned with the pivot axis therethrough, the hole having a rectangular or otherwise non-circular section shape. Two plugs 114 having a section profile mating that of the holes are slidably received in said holes and are pushed outwards by compression spring 116. The outer faces 118 of the plugs 114 have non-circular, preferably square-sectioned indentations 120. Foot plate 104 (or 82) has holes 122 concentrical with respect to axis 112 and of star-shaped section, these star-holes receiving pins 124 of complementary section shape. From each pin 124, a pressure button 126 of cylindrical shape extends outwards, the cylindrical portion having a diameter that the button is freely rotatable in the respective star-hole 122. A protuberance 128 of each pin 124 engages drivingly into the allocated indentation 120 of the plug 114.
Upon exerting pressure on both buttons 126 simultaneously so to compress spring 116, foot plate and carrier arm may be rotated relative to each other. Pressure removal causes the pins to slide back into the star holes thereby preventing further rotation. Cut-away portions at the bottom side of the foot plate facilitate assembling of the device. The embodiment of FIG. 21 is slightly modified metal discs 134 are mounted in each foot plate indentation 132 and are secured against rotation. Counter discs having radial teeth complementary to radial teeth of said discs 134 and in engagement therewith are secured against rotation in carrier arm indentations 136, the counter discs being designated with 137. These are pushed against discs 134 by compression spring 138. The teeth of both discs 134, 137 are designed such that under torque about the pivot axis exerted manually the teeth disengage and permit relative rotation of carrier arm and foot plate, spring 138 being further compressed during movement. For this purpose, the flanks of teeth 140 have a relatively flat slope. The foot plate may be mounted by means of screw bolts but may as well be fastened by means of glue, films covered at both their faces with a bonding material being available on the market for such purposes.
FIG. 22 illustrates a modification of such a mounting bracket wherein the foot plate 144 is made of a flexible material, for example, soft nylon. The foot plate is relatively thin and may assume the configuration of a non-planar surface to which the foot plate is to be bonded. In lieu of the one resilient tongue 108 , a pair of anti-symmetric resilient tongues 140' is provided so that the support may be fixed in either position and locked. In this design, the upper faces of the fingers 142 serve as a stop means. The foot plate 144 may be provided with holes 146 for eventual mounting by means of screw bolts.
While the embodiments described so far had dimensions adapted to receive the usual cassette tape containers, supports in accordance with the invention may as well be used with containers of other type provided the have closure means permitting removal of the cassette to the front. The front face of cassette tape containers have dimensions of about 18�116 mm2 with a depth of the container of about 80 mm so that an appearance will result as illustrated in FIGS. 1, 6, 7, or 8. Containers having a greater depth but a smaller front face may also fit in a support as disclosed, such support, of course, having respectively amended dimensions. Supports fitted with respectively twelve and nine containers each having a front face of about 11�70 mm2 are illustrated in FIGS. 23 and 24, respectively.
The same type of containers are also housed in the embodiments illustrated in FIGS. 25-29. The supports are designed such that they fit in the protruding wall portion which is hollow and permanently mounted in the cockpit of a vehicle. Integrally formed with the sheath there are provided fitting webs 150, 152, 154 and 156, respectively unless--as shown in FIG. 29--the sheath just fits in the hollow space of the wall member. Mounting elements may be clamping clips mating with stop lugs at the support sheath, and/or ordinary screws.

text: Mmm. You know when I was a kid, I wouldn't touch anything that had onions in it. My mom had to dice them so small they would essentially disappear into any dish so I would put it in my mouth. These days, these kinds of onions are the things that I crave and love. Love them on top of my steak, on sandwiches, and in fajitas... it's all so very odd. :)

Mailorder source for Polianthes/'tuberose'?
Hi, anyone know where I can buy some plain ol' Mexican tuberose bulbs by mail? (Park's and Wayside had them listed in their 2004 catalogs, but they're not available on their websites; perhaps they're sold out or they think it's too late to plant them.)
You're in luck. They usually have a minimum shipping but having a sale on shipping right now.
Here is a link that might be useful: PlantDelights
The species of Polianthes usually grown in gardens is P. tuberosa (not the species listed by PDN, which I suspect isn't fragrant, the main point of growing tuberose for most of us). "Mexican" probably refers so "Single Mexican", or the species-type with single (rather than double) flowers. I have gotten them from McClure & Zimmerman (tiny bulbs) and Brent & Becky's Bulbs (much bigger bulbs). I have also seen them sold locally alongside other summer-blooming bulbs like cannas and gladiolus. Unfortunately it's probably too late in the growing season to purchase or plant tubers--even if you could find them they would probably be shriveled up.
Here is a link that might be useful: Polianthes tuberosa from Brent & Becky's Bulbs
Hi there,
There's an on-line company, Eflowergarden, that is incredible. I bought 20 tuberose bulbs for $5! They had both the double and single varieties. The plants are all healthy and happy and the company has incredible customer service. They shipped my bulbs before getting my check!
They have developed a new web page recently and don't currently list tuberose - you may have to wait til next season. But definitely check them out then, their prices and quality blow my mind.

15 Ways To Tweak Your Diet For Your Age
It's not your imagination. Dieting does get harder every year — unless you know how to tweak your diet for your age. Read on for the most common diet traps at any age and how to beat them.
Working It Out: I Lost 54 Pounds In 5 Months
Working It Out is a new health/fitness column chronicling MadameNoire Deputy Editor Brande Victorian's journey to drop the pounds and get healthy.
In October I had the bright idea to chronicle my weight loss journey in what I intended to be a bi-weekly column called "Working It Out." Since then I've only written two articles, one of which wasn't even about me. (I know, I'm trifling.) But, the good news, is I didn't not write the column because I fell off the weight loss wagon. In fact, I've been going pretty strong and five months later I can happily report that I've dropped 54 pounds.
Praise be to sweet baby Jesus and my new waistline.
I had some very emo thoughts about this milestone that I planned to share when I initially mapped this article out in my head this morning, but right now why I made the decision to lose weight doesn't feel nearly as important as the fact that I have and, as a result, finally understand the mantra my best friend has tried to ingrain in my head for years and my personal trainer reiterated months ago: None of this is really about me.
My goal when I signed up for yet another gym membership October 3, 2014 was to lose weight after a health wake up call and to be snatched by my 30th birthday in May — emphasis on the latter 'cuz… you know. Within about nine weeks I dropped 15 pounds and then hired a personal trainer to rev up my results — and because I know myself.
This isn't my first time losing weight; it is, however, the first time I've lost more than 50 pounds. In fact, the three times I recall losing any significant amount of weight before, it was always somewhere between 44 and 48 pounds and then I'd be feeling good about my results and slack off like, Oooh Popeyes! and then my waist was like, Ooooh you tried it! and within nine months to a year I was back at negative square one, having gained back more than I lost.
I've already talked about the emotional journey personal training has taken me on, though I likely didn't give enough credit for the difference being accountable to someone every.single.day. has made on my results. Even when I lost nearly 50 pounds before, never did I do so in this amount of time, nor go to the gym and monitor my food as consistently. And though up until now a big part of staying on the straight and narrow has been fear of the wrath of my trainer, I now feel a sense of accountability to every person who's taken note of my results and even more so to those who have been inspired by my journey.
My trainer has a thing for kettle bells and one session about a month ago after unsuccessfully begging him not to make me do a particular workout with them, he told me, "Inspire people with your swings." I rolled my eyes, sure no one would find anything inspirational about me huffing and puffing as I begrudgingly heaved 16 kgs in the air. And yet last week I swung a 20 kg kettle bell and a man actually came over and hit me with a fist pound, acknowledging what a big deal it was for me to be able to move that much weight and telling me he can see how hard I've been working.
That incident was just one of several motivational moments that's happened over the past few weeks (and months even) as I realized people aren't watching me in the gym because they find my struggle amusing. They see me putting in work and feel motivated to do the same and tell me as much. (Basically trainer was right about yet another thing.)
Most of us work out at gyms among people who look nothing like us, and never have, so their words of encouragement and assurance that we can do what they haven't had to (i.e. drop pounds) hold little weight. Even though we proudly proclaim, "Black Girls Workout Too!," what I needed was an "Overweight Black Girls Workout And Lose Weight Too" slogan when I first started. So, I posted these progress pictures here to let anyone of you out there hesitating to start, and doubting that you can succeed, know that weight loss is possible and the 1-2 pounds per week it'll take you to lose weight is essentially an overnight process in the grand scheme of things. The time will pass anyway, you might as well spend it improving yourself as it does, because you can.
*If there's anything you want me to touch on in future "Working It Out" columns let me know in the comments section.

9 Things I Wish Somebody Told Me About Hiring A Personal Trainer
Ten weeks ago I signed my life (and a good portion of my money) away to a personal trainer. I've always wanted to hire someone to put an end to my cyclical weight gain/loss pattern every few years, but the truth is I had no idea what I was getting into when I put my signature on the dotted line. Twenty-nine pounds down, I can say without a shadow of a doubt that hiring a trainer was one of the best decisions I've made in my life; however 29 minutes into my first real session my thinking was more along the lines of "f*ck this." So, to help you get over the hesitation of hiring a trainer or the mental hump that might make you think you can't handle the pressure of the experience, here are nine things I wish somebody told me before I took the plunge.

You Can Save A Lot On Your Gym Membership, But Most Gyms Are Hoping You Don't Workout
If you vowed to join a gym and lose weight for your 2015 New Year's resolution, here is some advice that could save you a few dollars when joining a gym.
First, play hard to get. There are a ton of gyms around to choose from, so when you go in and hear the sales pitch don't act interested. In fact, walk away. The gym will most likely call or email you with a better deal, reports Business Insider.
Ask for the gym to let you forgo the initiation fee. Paying in advance for the entire year will also save you a few dollars.
If you're a student, see if they have a special rate for you. And some will offer a military discount as well.
And don't be in such a rush. Usually the spring and summer months have lower rates. If you don't want to wait, Business Insider suggests you "sign up in the middle of the month, as for the remaining weeks free and have your membership start the following month."
Lastly, if you can't get any sort of discount from the gym, ask them for a few perks such as a personal trainer or massages for free.
Given the time of year, you're probably hearing a lot about gym memberships these days. It's a big business, with lots of people paying lots of money to gain access. And there is a new gym trend emerging, sending prices through the roof. But luckily there is a counter gym movement going on as well — gyms that cost just about $120 a year are also seeing an increase.
For example, the high-end CrossFit has gone from 13 affiliate gyms in 2005 to a whopping 10,000 today. In Manhattan, CrossFit will run you about $2,500 annually. "High-end gyms catering to individuals with intensity and ample disposable incomes are proliferating, particularly in urban markets. The infamous and fast-growing SoulCycle costs an eye-watering $34 a class," reports New York magazine. If you worked out four times a week for a year, this would cost you an incredible $6,000 annually.
On the opposite end of the pricing spectrum, Planet Fitness has more than tripled its number of locations nationwide. According to an industry report by IBISWorld, "From 2010 to 2014, many small, low-cost gyms with few amenities and month-by-month contracts have fared well. Poor economic conditions, coupled with many consumers continuing to be budget conscious over the period, have caused new trends to emerge."
Most experts say to skip the middle-market gyms, where monthly fees were about $80 and drop-in fees about $10. Mainly because most gym goers at these gyms don't go consistently enough to make the price worth their while. According to one study, gym goers went "so infrequently that 80 percent of the monthly members would have spent less if they'd just paid for dropping in. Only 1 in 10 or 20 went three times a week; about 1 in 4 people on a monthly or annual contract only went once a month," reports New York.
If you skip from going to Planet Fitness, where you're only shelling out $10 a month, it won't be as much of a financial loss.
In fact, most gyms have built their business model around the fact that most people pay but don't go. "Gyms have way more members than they can actually accommodate. Low-priced gyms are the most extreme example of this. Planet Fitness, which charges between $10 and $20 per month, has, on average, 6,500 members per gym. Most of its gyms can hold around 300 people. Planet Fitness can do this because it knows that members won't show up," reports NPR.
From less intimidating designs to annual contracts that make us feel better about making the commitment to go to the gyum (even if we don't actually show up), health clubs have become experts on member behavior and use all that knowledge to get you to sign up. Even if showing up becomes the problem.
And when we finally realize that hey, we're wasting money, the gym will offer an incentive to keep you. "Planet Fitness has bagel breakfasts once a month and pizza dinners. Those are its busiest times. It also has massage chairs. Other gyms have mixers and movie nights and spa treatments," reports NPR. And get this, those who sign up but don't go to the gym are actually helping keep te costs down for everyone. "People who don't go are subsidizing the membership of people who do. So, if you don't work out, you are making gyms affordable for everyone," reports NPR.
So have you hit the gym yet in 2015?

Hop On The Scale: Companies Are Offering Customized Wellness Programs To Get Workers To Lose Weight
If your boss suggested that you lose a few pounds, would you think she had stepped over the line? Well, don't be surprised if your boss soon asks you to shed some weight.
"Seeking to make a dent in the intractable problem of obesity — a condition affecting roughly one-third of U.S. adults and costing companies more than $73 billion a year, according to researchers from Duke University—businesses are experimenting with new measures to encourage workers to slim down," reports The Wall Street Journal. Some firms are offering workers wearable fitness trackers and competitions on social apps, paying for weight-loss surgeries and drugs, as well as providing mental health counseling to address eating issues.
Over at L.L. Bean Inc.'s Bangor, Me. call center, they gave employees biometric screenings that found that nearly 85 percent of employees were overweight or obese. So the retailer enrolled 24 employees in a yearlong pilot program of exercise classes, nutrition coaching, and emotional counseling, all during paid work hours.
Workers who participated lost 15 pounds on average by the end of the year. The company is now doing a 16-week version of the program in other locations, with similar results.
Such fitness programs actual benefit the companies financially. Getting obese employees to normal weight, or even overweight, can save employers an average of nine percent of the money normally spent on health care or lose in productivity due to employee sick time, according economist Tatiana Andreyeva at the Rudd Center for Food Policy and Obesity at Yale University.
Already about a third of companies offer weight loss programs, and another seven percent are planning to offer one in the next 12 months. Also nine percent of firms offer insurance-premium discounts for participating in a weight-loss program, found a recent survey from the Society for Human Resource Management.
Surprisingly, 38 percent of employers cover weight-loss bariatric surgery for workers.
"A small number of companies are warming to newly approved weight-loss drugs, including Belviq, Qsymia and Contrave, which can cost anywhere from around $50 a month to more than $200," reports WSJ.
Some companies offer cash incentives to employees to lose weight, which experts say is not a good idea as workers may crash diet before weigh-ins and regain pounds back soon.
Is this all too intrusive?

14 Things That Occur When You Start Back Working Out
For anyone who used to work out consistently, but then took a long hiatus, getting back into the swing of things can be a little… interesting. Some things are harder than you anticipated, and you realize that your mind has to catch up with your current body (not the one you used to have or, the one you're delusional to think that you still have. No shade, I have to remind myself I'm not as small as I used to be every time I go jean shopping, but that's a different post).
Here are 14 things that tend to occur when you get back to your gym rat ways. Let me know if you can relate, or what you noticed when you start back working out.

My Back Is Aching, My Bra's Too Tight: Easy Excuse-Busting Ways To Work Out And Eat Right
Need a little push to recover from the holiday pig-out season? We've got excuse-busting ways to work out and eat right — without getting off of the couch!
Get Braids
Is the thought of sweating out your $600 holiday 'do keeping you from burning calories? Swap it out for a set of cute box braids. Not only are they right on trend, you can use the sew-in break as an excuse to hit the gym hard until it's time to change your hair.
Put In Work: How To Burn The Most Calories During Sex
Not that you needed another reason to get horizontal, but heating up the sheets can burn serious calories. And we could all use a little extra help during the holiday season. So make sure he sees you grab seconds so he can help you burn it off later on.
Sneak away for a few lip-locking breaks a day and you can burn up to 68 calories an hour. Make out on the couch like you're handsy teenagers again and you can burn up to 500 calories an hour — but you might want to lock the door.
Working It Out: Can We Talk About Thin, Skintight Workout Pants…
Working It Out is a new health/fitness column chronicling MadameNoire Deputy Editor Brande Victorian's journey to drop the pounds and get healthy.
I know most gyms have a "no judgement" policy, which I actually support and appreciate, but I must admit there is a major pet peeve I do judge at the gym (besides men grunting like they're trying to open the jaws of life when they lift weights): It's the women who insist on wearing the thinnest, tightest workout pants known to man — often times with panties of the neon assortment or no drawers at all.
Yes, I heard you just ask, sarcastically, "why you lookin'?" and trust me when I tell you this is not a "seek and ye shall find" situation. For every instructor bent on forcing its fatigued students who've done more crunches than a little bit to hold a downward dog pose for 30 seconds or more or stand wide-legged and bent over to stretch their hamstrings to the right and the left, I can tell you with complete assurance that I can't help what I see. Nor can I understand it.
Well, wait a minute. Maybe I can. I venture to guess the same women who come to kickboxing class in paper-thin gray capri leggings and pink thongs are the same woman who go to work in see-through black leggings and green polka dot panties with a shirt that only hits the top of their tailbone. They are unaware that ain't nobody trying to see that! Except, maybe, the thirsty men who conveniently post up right outside the workout classroom to lift weights for the view. And I could actually probably deal with the rainbow of panty prints thrown in my face — or just the widespread sweat marks on those who opt to leave their underwear at home (another move I don't understand, but to each her own) if it was done in the name of thirst trapping. But I get the gist that these women truly don't realize we can all see their business. And it's not cute.
So, for any lady who's put on her skimpiest workout bottoms on top of a bright pair of underwear (or none at all) and assumed no one would see her business because she couldn't (because she was standing in a dark living room and not bent over face down, arse up), we done seen it all. And I think I speak for all the women in gyms around the world who've had to stand behind you as you wiggle around when I say you might want to consider the fact that you never know when the sun will shine down upon you on your way to or from the gym and reveal more than you and casual passersby bargained for. So, please, do all of us a favor and wear some drawers that fit and are a neutral color. Or hey, wear some pants that don't actually show off every nook and cranny the Lord blessed you with. Time and place, ladies. Time and place.

A Newport home that was once the summer residence of President Dwight D. Eisenhower is about to undergo a one-point-six million dollar makeover.
The Eisenhower House on the grounds of Fort Adam State Park will be winterized and become a year-round venue for social and corporate events. Ron Renaud, director of the state Department of Administration, said the basement is full of telephone cables.
Rhode Island will soon be home to its very own Tall Ship: the SSV Oliver Hazard Perry. Picture the HMS Rose, featured in the Hollywood film Master & Commander, but much larger and made of steel. The 196 foot SSV Oliver Hazard Perry will be thirteen and a half stories tall, with three masts supporting square sails. The ship is being built by a non-profit organization, and is named for a Rhode-Island born naval hero of the War of 1812.

Lowest Maintenance Mulch?
jaxoMay 7, 2011
What is the best mulch that looks good and will suppress weeds and also is heavy enough that you can use a leaf blower over it to blow off loose debris without blowing the mulch away with it?
I though of rocks, but people say weeds end up poking through the rocks and it is extra work to keep it looking good. I'm looking for something that looks good with minimal work to keep it looking that way.
I will have a fabric weed sheet under it for extra weed protection.
I'm considering brown rubber mulch since previous shredded wood bark color faded in the sun so quickly.

Originally written on HoopStuff | Last updated 11/17/14
The San Antonio Spurs and Los Angeles Lakers will meet in the 1st round of the playoffs. This is surprising that they are meeting so early, as these were 2 teams that were projected to be among the top 3 or 4 teams in the West. But with the Lakers' chemistry and injury problems, they barely made it into the playoffs, but this sets up one of the most entertaining battles of the opening round. Both teams come limping into the playoffs, as Manu Ginobili has been out and may miss the series and it is well known that Kobe Bryant is out for the playoffs after his achilles tear. The Lakers will be going inside early in often, throwing the ball into the low post for Dwight Howard to score and the high post for Pau Gasol to either score, or make a pass. The rest of the team simply needs to hit threes. With the attention paid to Dwight Howard and Pau Gasol and with little respect to any other player other than Steve Nash, their shooters will be open constantly and they need to hit every wide ...

@home for Nest
Your Nest thermostat is smart enough to know when you are around, but what if you spend most of your time in another room, or if your house is so big, your thermostat thinks you are away and lower the house temperature.
@home for Nest goals are :
• tell your Nest thermostat when you are at home even if it doesn't see you.
• tell you when your Nest thermostat sees someone while you are away.
• show Nest information directly in your homescreen
@home for Nest knows your home presence by checking on your wifi or your GPS location. By default it only uses wifi detection so it doesn't pump out your phone's battery, but if your house is so big you don't catch on wifi everywhere it can also use GPS positioning.
Because all your family members don't have a phone, @home for Nest doesn't tell your thermostat when you are away, it only notifies your thermostat when you are home and let your thermostat workout family presence automatically when you are away.
@home for Nest is super easy to configure. Install on your phone, detect your home wifi (or GPS position), connect to your Nest thermostat, enable background mode and forget about it.
With @home for Nest, your Nest thermostat will always know when you are at home.

Don't just take our word for it, though. Here's what ChoreMonster users are saying:
✭✭✭✭✭ "Set the kids up on ChoreMonster. So far it's a hit in the household with K wanting to complete a week's worth of chores by 8:00 am."
✭✭✭✭✭ "Incredible things happening since I installed ChoreMonster app. My boys can't wait to help around the house!"
✭✭✭✭✭ "Day one of using ChoreMonster and the kids were pumped...woke up early to log on and asked for more chores when I tucked them in."
Plus, we've been featured in trusted media outlets like Mashable, The New York Times, The Wall Street Journal, CNBC, TechCrunch, and more.
ChoreMonster is best for ages 4 through 12, but works with ages 3 through 15.
See you soon!
However it can also be useful for helping children take turns at some activity, or perhaps for timing time spent at stations in gym.
This is my first app (but has now been updated if you are running android 2.2 or above) and as such it has relatively few use cases.
The main Screen is very simple it only has 3 parts, a button bar with 4 buttons(go prev next stop), a scroll-able list of chores(tasks). Each chore has a timer in hh:mm and rest timer also in hh:mm a description , and a use count. Each chore can now also be disabled and re-enabled and can have a skip factor applied.
"Go" button starts the timer, "Stop" stops it and sets the first chore at the start of the list back as current chore. When timer is running the "Go" button changes into Pause/cont toggle, which will suspend the timer where it is as indicated by the display flashing.
"Next" button switches to the next chore in the list of to the top of the list if at the bottom. This action can be performed from stopped or running state. Prev works the same way but in reverse.
When stopped, the a drag handle appears on the right of each chore allowing for reordering the list by dragging the current chore(task) Up or down.
Clicking on a chore will bring up an update dialog, allowing description, Time duration, rest period duration, and skip mode to be altered. The chore can also be deleted here too.
Chore lists can be named and saved in the Chore List Store within the app. This stores the named chore list on the phone/tablet where it can be retrieved for later use.
There is also an options menu containing 6 options, which preform functions of adding additional chores, accessing settings, accessing help, accessing reset/new options , Save As (to Chore List Store) and manage (Chore List Store).
The reset options are used to either reset the use counters on the active chore list,to create a new unnamed chore list, or reset skip states.
The following settings are supported:
1)Changing the ringtone or notification tone used when the timer for a chore completes
2) setting the defaults for timer and rest timer in the add dialog.
3) setting an optional sleep time - helpful in reducing battery use as there is no point displaying a second by second counter when you are hard at work on your chores. This sleep time will sleep the app until the next timer is due.
4) Changing the app background color scheme
5) Changing aspects of the UI
As stated above and new for V3 :
1 )Chores can be disabled , when disabled they are ignored by the running list and the next /prev
buttons. They stay disabled until the user enables them. enable status can be changed on non active chores even when the list is running .
2) chores can be defined with a skip state followed by a number of cycles number between 1 and 99
skip once , and skip repeat . both of these and the disable function provide ways of dynamically
varying a running chore list by making specific chores unavailable .
Note future enhancements will be made in a new pro version if demand exists .V3 will be supported with its current feature set as a 100% free app.

Dude as i remember this kicked ass, now that i watched it was terrible.
I mean it looks like you made it like 2 years ago. I mean sure you putted alot of ''effort'' into it by using the same damn blood splat over and over, not animating any shells and it looks like he knows where he is. And I'm not sure that you can get knocked down by getting hit by a night stick once, i mean he woke up by getting punched in the stomach.
The name is also completely unrelatable to the flash itself. Hardstyle is a type of music.
And just for the record, everyone below me are fucking fanboys who loves it just as long as it's madness. Just cuz they say it's good doesn't mean it is.
Look, I know animation is bad because I used my old style (My old style is one person in one layer, It wasn´t easy to animate, it was Djjaners style, he learned me this) but now I have new style - I am animating one layer - one part of body. The blood was the same I know because I didn´t want use Krinkels blood than I used Lubos blood from Ryder Revenge part 9. Now I have my own blood. I didn´t want animate shells because I was big problem with publishing, look at the file size- 17.9 MB ( WTF??) If I animated shells, the filesize have MORE MB. This is my first own animation and I wasn´t skilled. Some people understand it and they don´t seek bugs. they just enjoy. That all depends on the approach.
wow awesome
thing thing sprites:D
no I dont use thing thing sprites, but thanks :D
loved it
names of the tracks plz
check my old posts , I have there link for download it
whens he get to the party? thats why you need a part 2. call it "madness hardstyle: the fight to the party" lol. this 1 was perfect tho. i got alot of ideas for the part 2 if ur gnna make it.
I have something in my head :d

Defying pure retail.
The most natural thing in the world would be to assume that careers within the John Lewis Partnership are all strictly retail. But actually, when it comes to the people who drive our business from behind the scenes, it couldn't be further from the truth. Naturally, we want our Partners to be passionate about retail, but equally we want those who can use their commercial acumen to broaden our outlook. To challenge where we've come from. To envisage where our future might lie. To use their past experiences to help keep us distinct. Memorable. Forward-thinking.
Join us and you could be part of a talented group that's daring to evolve the face of retail.
Our John Lewis Head Office is in Victoria, London and our Waitrose Head Office is based in Bracknell, Berkshire. Partnership Services divide themselves between London and Bracknell, whilst Group Partners work mainly in London.

relief for sore breasts
hotinny162July 19, 2013
I was online looking for alternative to Estroven as it no longer works for me after 2-3 months and found this forum, someone had commented on breast soreness, thought I would post as thats the only thing I've been able to relieve of my many many symptoms. Two or three years ago I read that Tincture of Iodine will work on sore breasts (now they have non-staining kind at just about any drugstore) you apply abit in about the size of a quarter to breast and it works, couldn't believe it was so fast too, I don't use all the time as I don't know what too much iodine will do but when its bad, its my go to cure. Hope this helps.

Hughes coy on Everton interest
Thu, 09 May 2013 10:24:00
Aston Villa captain Stiliyan Petrov has announced he is quitting football to set up a charity for leukaemia sufferers.
The Bulgarian is in remission from the disease which was diagnosed in March 2012 after he complained of feeling fatigued during a game at Arsenal.
'Soft treatment' remains ongoing and Petrov, who won eight major trophies in seven years at Celtic before joining Villa in 2006, has decided to devote himself to charity work rather than return to football.
In a statement released on the Villa website he said: "It is with a heavy heart that I am announcing my retirement from the game.
"The emotions are overwhelming really, but the continued support of family, friends and the great people I have come to know will make it easier for me to move on from the only life I've ever known.
"That I am ready to embrace new challenges will make this process much easier.
"Since being diagnosed with acute leukaemia in March 2012, I have come to understand and appreciate the way in which this disease impacts the lives of so many people.
"I can help and I want to help and, in setting up a foundation to help address the issues involved when people are diagnosed with this illness, I hope to make a difference.
"For the life I've lived in football, I will always be incredibly grateful. For the opportunity this crazy thing that happened in my life has given me, I also feel grateful in a strange kind of way.
"This crazy thing, somehow, has touched people and I want to try to channel this in a positive way. This will be the greatest challenge of my life.
"I wish to thank the fans of Aston Villa and the Villa chairman, Randy Lerner, chief executive Paul Faulkner and manager Paul Lambert, also the fans of Celtic, the Bulgarian fans and fans of football all over the world who have helped me through the past year."
Moyes is widely expected to leave Goodison Park to replace Sir Alex Ferguson at Old Trafford following the 71-year-old's decision to retire at the end of the season.
Hughes, who enjoyed one season at Everton during his playing career, admits the Everton role if it becomes available if a big opportunity for somebody.
Former Blackburn and Manchester City boss Hughes, who has been out of work since being sacked by QPR last November, admits the Everton job would be one that would interest him as he looks to get back into management.
"It's not happened yet [Moyes leaving] and I think when one manager leaves there are opportunities for other managers who are currently out of work, which includes myself," Hughes told Sky Sports News.
"It's a great club; it's a club that I had the fortune to play for and really enjoyed my time there.
"I got close to playing for them a number of times, but eventually made it towards the back end of my career and had a great, great period there and really enjoyed my time there."
Hughes admits whoever takes over from Moyes should he leave Merseyside has a big job on his hands following the impressive work carried out by the Scot at Goodison Park.
"Whoever gets that opportunity it's a big role, a big club and big shoes to fill because David Moyes has done an excellent job there and it's been done under difficult circumstances sometimes with a lack of funds.
"But he has done a really marvellous job there so whoever goes in there it is very similar to David's situation, if it is David going into Manchester United, has big shoes to fill.
"It's an opportunity for somebody and I back my abilities for most jobs in the Premier League.
"And it's a big job in the Premier league and there is only certain amount, 20 jobs available so everybody wants to work in the Premier League if that's possible."

Newly-appointed Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) state president Surya Pratap Shahi has said that his party would never join hands with the Bahujan Samaj Party (BSP) and would make the latter's misrule an issue in the upcoming Uttar Pradesh Assembly elections.
"Whether BJP gains power in the state or not in the coming 2012 elections, we are sure about one thing and that is that we would have no truck with the BSP in future for government formation. In fact, we will make its misrule an election issue," Mr. Shahi said here.
The past two experiences have been very bad as all our achievements have gone down the drain whereas the BSP has benefited from it and gained strength, Mr. Shahi said.
Appearing wary of pre-election alliances after the last one with the Rashtriya Lok Dal (RLD), Mr. Shahi said that his party would contest the 2012 Assembly elections on its own and try to gain majority in the Vidhan Sabha.
On the issues on which his party plans to contest the elections in order to regain its lost ground, Mr. Shahi said it would be corruption and dismal law and order under the "misrule of the BSP government".
"These are the issues which have troubled the common people of the state the most and they would be BJP's election planks," Mr. Shahi said.
Besides these, the rampant misuse of government funds on parks and memorials would also be raised.
"The BSP's promise to rid the state from mafia and criminals. Today these very elements are ruling the roost while Mayawati is trying to befool the people in the name of taking action against them," he said.
The state unit president said that BJP would not project any individual as its chief ministerial candidate in the coming elections and would instead jump into the fray on the principle of collective responsibility.
"The issue of chief minister would be decided collectively after the mandate," Mr. Shahi stated.
Realising the task ahead of him, Mr. Shahi said that it would be his priority to work towards ensuring that the party regained its lost ground and respect in the Hindi heartland .
"The organisation till the grass—root level would be activated by giving due importance to dedicated and active party workers," he said, adding that elections upto the district and block level would be completed by the month end to involve active workers.
