This invention relates in general to dispensing combinations for dispensing liquids and relates in particular to a dispensing combination for dispensing soap or other personal care products from a replaceable cartridge or bottle received in a wall mounted mounting unit.
As noted, this invention relates to apparatus for dispensing liquids or flowable materials and in particular for dispensing liquid soap or similar skin care products, although the inventive concepts disclosed could be applied to the dispensing of other liquids as well.
In the prior art, the dispensing of the soap is accomplished in a variety of ways.
Perhaps one of the most common of these dispensing systems comprises a glass or plastic bottle which has a spring loaded pump and dispensing nozzle secured to its top so that, by grasping the bottle and pushing down on the pump, a measured amount of the soap is dispensed through the nozzle onto the user's hand.
Examples of such dispensing apparatus can be found in U.S. Pat. Nos. 4,280,638 Keihm; Aleff 4,336,895; Libit 4,352,443; Magers 4,375,266 and Corsette 4,402,432.
This type of arrangement is quite widely used and is effective, although it does generally require "two hand" operation for optimum effeciency, since it is generally necessary to either stabilize the bottle with one hand as the pump is activated by the other or to activate the pump with one hand and receive the soap with the other.
Liquid soaps are also commonly dispensed from a variety of mounted dispensers such as, for example, the type in which the soap is actually stored in a bag having a flexible tube projecting therefrom, with the bag being replaceably received in the dispenser and with various activating means being employed to squeeze or depress the tube, so as to eject a measured amount of the soap.
Examples of such dispensing apparatus can be found in U.S. Pat. Nos. 3,741,439 Vehrs; Pliml 3,881,641 and Christine 4,256,242.
This type of dispensing arrangement generally permits "one hand" operation in that the mechanism which collapses the tube to eject the material therefrom is generally exteriorly accessible to the user so that by engaging the activating device with the heel of the hand, a measured amount of the soap can be dispensed into the palm of the hand. This type of dispensing apparatus, while certainly effective, does involve relatively complex activating apparatus in that the various means for depressing the tube and sealing it off after a measured amount has been dispensed and refilling the tube, etc., result in an effective but relatively expensive dispensing arrangement.
It is also possible to dispense such material from a "squeeze" bottle of the type disclosed in Sneider U.S. Pat. No. 4,286,735 and Laauwe U.S. Pat. No. 4,314,658. In employing this type dispenser, the bottle is grasped in one hand, tilted and squeezed so as to dispense some of the contents onto the other hand or some other surface.
Generally then, there are a variety of known ways of dispensing soap or similar material. However, as previously noted, they either require relatively complex and expensive dispensing apparatus or two hand operation. Additionally, when employed in areas open to the public, many of these systems are susceptible to theft or vandalism.
It is therefore an object of this invention to provide a relatively inexpensive dispensing combination for dispensing liquids, such as soaps, which includes a more or less permanently mounted mounting unit and a replaceable dispensing unit which can be mounted therein, and which can be activated by one hand to provide a simple, inexpensive but effective dispensing apparatus.
In accomplishing this object, it has been discovered that such a dispensing combination can be achieved by providing a two-piece mounting unit including a base which can be mounted to a wall or other surface and a hinged cover which is movable between open and closed positions.
It has also been found that a replaceable cartridge or dispensing unit can be provided which is supportable on the base and which has a pump attached to one end which projects through the cover when the cover is in the closed position.
In broad terms such an arrangement is similar to some of the prior art in that it includes a mounting component and a replaceable supply or dispensing unit. However, it is an object of this invention to provide such a combination wherein the activating means are carried by the supply unit; the combination is acutated from the bottom rather than the top; and the supply unit has no practical use other than in the combination.
It has thus been found in this regard that the base and the cover can be provided with mating access openings at their bottom ends so that the lower end of the dispensing or supply unit projects therethrough when the cover is closed and with the upper end thereof carrying a spring loaded pump and an associated nozzle.
It has also been found that by an arrangement such as just described, the dispensing unit can be engaged on its bottom end, which projects through the openings in the base and the cover, and moved slightly upwardly so that the pump unit contacts the top of the base thereby depressing the pump and ejecting a predetermined amount of the liquid through the nozzle onto the hand of the user.
Effectively, rather than holding the bottle or container stationary and depressing the pump, the container itself is moved to depress the pump. This enables one hand operation but also achieves the efficiency of metered dispensing and accomplishes this without provision of the relatively complex and expensive dispensing apparatus of much of the prior art.
Additionally, the dispensing or supply unit can be provided with a contoured bottom end so that it has little or no utility except in the combination to thus discourage theft or vandalism.
It accordingly becomes the principal object of this invention to provide an improved liquid dispensing combination of the character above-described with further objects thereof becoming more apparent upon a reading of the following brief specification considered and interpreted in view of the accompanying drawings.
Of the drawings:
FIG. 1 is a front elevational view of the improved dispensing combination.
FIG. 2 is a side elevational view thereof.
FIG. 3 is a rear elevational view thereof.
FIG. 4 is a sectional view taken along the lines 4--4 of FIG. 1.
FIG. 5 is a sectional view taken along the line 5--5 of FIG. 4.
FIG. 6 is a sectional view similar to FIG. 4 showing the cover member in the open position.
Referring first to FIGS. 1, 2, 4 and 6, it will be noted that the improved dispensing combination, generally indicated by the numeral 10, includes a base 20 and a cover 30, which together form what will be referred to herein as the mounting unit. A cartridge or dispensing unit for holding the supply of soap is received within the mounting unit and is generally designated by the numeral 50.
Referring next to FIGS. 4 and 6 of the drawings, it will be noted that the base 20 generally includes a main body portion 21 having on its rear surface a plurality of reinforcing ribs 21a,21a and terminating in a lowerarcuate bottom portion 23 having an access opening received therein and designated by the numeral 23a. Access opening 23a is of sufficient size that, when matched with a similar opening in cover 30, the bottom end of dispensing unit 50 can project therethrough as will be described. Bottom portion 23 also includes a pair of opposed projections 23b,23b, each pair of which support a bar or pin 23c for connection of cover 30 to base 20, as will be described.
The opposed end of the base 20 terminates in a forwardly extending top wall22 having one or more upwardly extending latch projections 22a for engagement of the cover 30 as will also be described below.
Still referring to FIGS. 2, 4 and 6, the cover 30 will be seen to have a front face which includes a lower surface area 31 which, when the cover isin the closed position of FIG. 2 for example, will lie in a plane generallyparallel to that of the main body portion 21 of the base 20.
Projecting upwardly and outwardly from the lower surface area 31 of the cover 30 is an upper surface area 32 which lies at an angle with respect to the plane of the lower surface 31 and which is curved back toward that plane to its ultimate lip or edge. A nozzle access opening 32a is receivedin this upper area and, on the ultimate lip area of the top portion of the cover 30, is a latch engaging member 32b which, when the device is in the closed position, will engage the latch projection 22a of the base 20 to retain the cover in the closed position as illustrated in FIGS. 2 and 4 ofthe drawings.
The lower surface area 31 of the cover 30 merges into an arcuate bottom 33 which has an access opening 33a therein so that when the cover is in the closed position of FIG. 4 for example, the access opening 33a will mate with the access opening 23a of the base 20, to form an opening for access to the bottom of dispensing unit 50 as will be described.
It will also be noted that the bottom 33 of cover 30 is hingedly connected for pivotal movement by the pins 23c,23c to the base 20, so that the cover30 is readily movable between the closed position of FIG. 4 and the open position of FIG. 6 after disengagement of latch means 22a and 32b. In thatregard, it will be noted that the cover 30 has opposed pin engaging members33b,33b which are hook or C-shaped so as to be engagable with pins 23c,23c but which can also snap out without damage to either base 20 or cover 30 so that the unit is protected against either intentional or inadvertent damage when opened.
Also received internally of the base 20 are locating means 24 which take the form of integral projections which extend forwardly from the main bodyportion 21 and which are intended to engage a portion of the container 50 as will now be described.
Referring again then to FIGS. 4 and 6 of the drawing, for a description of the container or dispensing unit 50, it will be noted that the unit includes a main reservoir area 51 or bottle within which the liquid such as soap can be received. Attached to the neck 51a of the container is a pump assembly 52 which includes a dispensing nozzle 53. This is a spring loaded pump of the type commonly used in the industry and will not be described in great detail herein.
It will be noted, however, that the neck 51a is disposed at an angle with respect to the plane of the main body portion 21 when mounted (see FIGS. 4and 6) and also lies substantially parallel to the plane of the upper surface 32 of the cover 30. This arrangement is a significant feature of the invention as will be described below.
The main reservoir area or bottle 51 terminates in a reduced width bottom portion or secondary reservoir 54 and, as can be seen in FIGS. 2, 4 and 6 of the drawings, this portion projects through the openings 23a and 33a inthe base 20 and the cover 30 and has an arcuate or curved bottom contour for purposes which will be described.
In use or operation of the improved dispensing combination, it will be assumed that first the cover 30 will be opened to the position of FIG. 6. The dispensing unit 50, after having the pump freed from its locked or shipping position, will than be seated in the base 20 with its bottom portion 54 projecting through the opening 23a and into the opening 33a. This is accomplished by engaging the neck 51a with the locating means 24 which then retains the pump assembly 52 in a stable condition; serves to properly orient the nozzle 53 in alignment with the nozzle receiving opening 32a and supports the main reservoir area or bottle 51.
The cover 30 may then be closed and moved to the position of FIG. 4 of the drawings, whereupon the latch means 22a and 32b will engage so as to retain the cover in the closed position of FIG. 4. At this time, the nozzle 53 of the container 50 will project through the opening 32a in the cover and the bottom portion 54 of the container 50 will project through the openings 23a and 33a of the base and the cover.
To that end, ribs 32c,32c may be provided on the inside of cover 30 adjacent nozzle 53 into the opening 32a to further assist in directing nozzle 53 into the opening in the event of any minor remaining misalignment.
Assuming the base 21 to be mounted on a vertical surface such as a wall, inorder to dispense a predetermined amount of the soap from the container it is merely necessary to engage the bottom portion 54 of the container with,for example, the fingers of the hand and push up. This will force the top of the pump assembly 52 into engagement with the top 22 of the base 20 thereby depressing the pump against its spring, opening the conventional internal valve and forcing a variably predetermined amount of the soap through the nozzle 53 and onto the palm of the hand of the user.
Also, as can be seen in FIGS. 4 and 6, the ribs 21a,21a slope outwardly from the plane of main body portion 21 so that the main reservoir or bottle portion 51 is supported during the dispensing stroke and moves upward along the axis of the pump assembly 52 which is, as previously noted, held by locating means 24.
As previously noted, the upper surface area of the cover 32 extends upwardly and outwardly from the plane of the lower surface 31 thereof. Furthermore, the container 50 has its pump assembly 52 mounted at a similar angle. This disposition is important because it makes it possible for the soap to clear the front surface of the cover 30 and be deposited on the hand of the user without dripping or running down the front surface. This, of course, enables the combination to remain clean and aesthetically appealing during use.
Furthermore it will be noted that dispensers of this type can be used in commercial establishments. While it is a fairly simple matter to open the cover and extract the container or dispensing unit 50, the container has been designed with the bottom or secondary reservoir 54 being essentially arcuate or curved in cross section so that the container will not stand alone and thus really has little or no utility, unless used in the mounting unit provided. The off center arrangement of the pump assembly 52also contributes to this advantage and it is intended that this design willdiscourage theft.
To further enhance the tamper-proof characteristics of the combination, it is also possible to mount the pump assembly 54 with a commercially available closure member which is not removable without destroying the unit.
While a full and complete description of the invention has been set forth in accordance with the dictates of the patent statutes, it should be understood that modifications can be resorted to without departing from the spirit hereof or the scope of the appended claims.
In that regard, "soap" has been referred to throughout for simplicity of description, but it should be understood that the dispensing combination would have utility with other liquids as well.
Furthermore, while the bottom portion or secondary reservoir 54 of dispensing unit 50 is illustrated as arcuate or radiused other non-planar configurations could also be employed.
Additionally, it is contemplated that standard pump assemblies can be used in this combination. Since these pump assemblies dispense predetermined amounts of content such as 1 cc, 2 cc, etc. per stroke, and since the material to be dispensed will affect the desirable amount, provision is also made for adjustment by the end user. To that end, removable ribs can be mounted on the base to limit travel of the dispensing unit 50. For example, with the ribs in place, travel may be such as to dispense 1 cc, while with the ribs removed, 2 cc's may be dispensed.
Thus, in FIGS. 3, 4 and 6 removable ribs 25,25 project from rear wall 31 sothat, when bottom portion 54 of dispensing unit 50 is engaged and dispensing unit 50 is moved upwardly, the travel thereof may be limited thereby. As will be noted, the ribs 25,25 are flanked by voids 25a,25a so that if a longer stroke is desired, they can be simply detached.
Finally, in some applications it may be possible to eliminate cover 30, extending the sidewalls of base 20 forwardly and toward each other so as to secure the dispensing unit 50 while still permitting operation of the pump as previously described.

Angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors (ACEI) and angiotensin receptor antagonists (ARA) are effective and well-tolerated first-line drugs in the therapy of hypertension and, therefore, are frequently encountered in the perioperative setting. Hemodynamic compensation for volume depletion seen in the perioperative period is normally mediated by the renin–angiotensin system, which is blocked by ACEI/ARA. These drugs may contribute to severe hypotension during anesthesia induction and may have contributed to the cardiac arrest seen in this patient. Additional factors such as increased intra-abdominal pressures and respiratory obstructive episodes leading to diminished venous return, as well diuretic use and the fasting state, common in the perioperative orthopedic patient, are likely to have contributed as well. Medication use may be an easily modifiable risk factor for severe hypotension and possible cardiac arrest in the perioperative setting.

Forest Service may let more fires burn
Monday - 3/11/2013, 5:08pm EDT
Associated Press
SAN FRANCISCO (AP) -- After coming in $400 million over budget following last year's busy fire season, the Forest Service is altering its approach and may let more fires burn instead of attacking every one.
The move, quietly made in a letter late last month by Forest Service Chief Tom Tidwell, brings the agency more in line with the National Parks Service and back to what it had done until last year. It also answers critics who said the agency wasted money and endangered firefighters by battling fires in remote areas that posed little or no danger to property or critical habitat.
Tidwell played down the change, saying it's simply an "evolution of the science and the expertise" that has led to more emphasis on pre-fire planning and managed burns, which involve purposely setting fires to eliminate dead trees and other fuels that could help a wildfire quickly spread.
"We have to be able to structure (fire management) this way to help all of us," Tidwell told The Associated Press. "So that we're thinking about the right things when we make these decisions."
The more aggressive approach instituted last year was prompted by fears that fires left unchecked would quickly devour large swaths of the drought-stricken West, Tidwell said. New Mexico and Colorado reported record fire seasons in 2012, and with dry conditions remaining in much of the region 2013 could be another bad year in the West.
In all, the agency oversees about 193 million acres in 43 states.
But the "kill all fires" approach angered watchdog groups and environmentalists, who said it was expensive and ignored fire's natural ability to rid the landscape of dangerous fuels and bolster forest ecology.
"This new policy gives a lot more flexibility. It takes the blanket policy where every fire was treated the same and gives fire managers more options," said Timothy Ingalsbee, executive director of Firefighters United for Safety, Ethics and Ecology.
"Chief Tidwell's move should restore the confidence of the fire management community that all the training and technology that's been invested to give fire crews the ability to work with fire to restore ecosystems will not be wasted by a return to yesteryear's all-out war on wildfires."
While all federal agencies operate from the same federal wildfire management policy, each has its own goals and ways of interpreting it. The National Parks Service, for example, allows more fires to burn on its lands.
But letting fires burn also has its dangers, even in remote areas.
Last year, the Parks Service allowed a fire to burn that started as a half-acre blaze in remote Lassen Volcanic National Park in Northern California. What became the Reading Fire eventually required firefighters and ended up charring 42 square miles of forestlands as it spread outside the park's boundaries to lands managed by the Forest Service and California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection.
The fire damaged the region's timber industry and cost an estimated $15 million to suppress. No structures were harmed.
While each agency involved had a different approach to managing fires, the confusion during the Reading fire hammered home the need for agencies with different approaches to talk more often about their expectations, a review of the incident found.
Knowing that the Forest Service is stepping back from 2012's more aggressive approach helps different agencies plan how they will respond to fires that have the potential to spread, said Eric Hensel, a National Parks Service fire management officer at the Lassen park.
"What we learned with the Reading fire is that, even with USFS going a little bit further toward (allowing fires to burn), we can't assume anything," Hensel said. "Now we've got some common ground here in terms of our approach, but let's be up front about where we are and work together."

Gear Review
Great sunglasses!
I've had another smaller pair of Natives for several years and have been really happy with them. When my kids scratched my Spy glasses, I turned to the Natives. The lifetime warranty is a plus, but I wouldn't have bought them if they didn't fit so well. I wanted a second pair of glasses with a larger profile and more side coverage and these fit the bill perfectly. The nose pieces are grippy, but the temples are not. They stay put very well. I also like the down-curved temples because one problem I've had with straighter temples is that they bump against a hatband. One downside is that extra lenses are not included. I love the amber lenses of my other pair, and maybe I'll buy those for the Bombers someday.
Native is a quality brand, which builds durable shades. The bomber fit my 23 inch head and face much better than the slimmer Triumph. If you have a larger requirement for sunglasses, they can be hard to find. The bomber fit nicely, won't fall off while in action, and there's minimal behind the ear pinch. I always have this problem, the bomber is made for guys with a mellon. They might fit bug'ishly on a slender dome. The lenses are what you'd expect from a polarized Native. They make cloudy, low-lit days bright and block sunshine and glare perfectly. The styling on the wood frames is really new and nicely updates the typical brown framed shade that I always sick with. The brown lenses are pretty solid all-around. Rose lenses are my favorite, but I am really happy with these. Doubt I'll be changing the lenses out for conditions; work great in all light conditions as the rose version do... for those who are a rose fan.

Celebrate the Chinese New Year with bread shaped like woolly sheep
2015 is the year of the sheep (or goat, the term is ambiguous) in the Chinese zodiac calendar, and there's no better way to celebrate the new year than by eating. But why would you want to eat regular food on the new year when you can eat adorable bread sheep? Baked in different bakeries around Japan (yes, they love their Chinese zodiac bread novelties, too), these sheep are made to be just as tasty as the year ahead!

Lady Sovereign may be one reason to bother with hip-hop post-1990. I am not the biggest fan, but after seeing her blink-and-you'll-miss-it set, I had newfound respect. Her delivery and her songs are as tough and compact as she is. She was originally slated earlier in the night; rumor had it she was pushed back so "Jay"as in Jay-Zcould catch her. The other rumor was that Jigga had signed her that day. (Of course, similar notions were floating around about M.I.A., but that never came to pass.) The Lady looks like a hardened Fiona Apple in an Adidas tracksuit (very Run-D.M.C.what'd I tell you?), and, if possible, sports a bigger scowl. She's so punk, after she was done, she simply dropped the mic with a thud and stalked off the stage. If I were a rapper, I'd totally be the five-foot Lady Sovereign (I'm already almost the same heightjust gotta work on my skillz and my scowl).
The mag's anniversary bash (note: I occasionally write for Spin, and its EIC Sia Michel is a pal) had Stroke Fabrizio Moretti strolling around the VIP room, which led me and Edmond Hallas and Vivian Sarratt of Mommy and Daddy to whine about the absence of his paramour: "Where's Drew!" Afrika Bambaataa quite possibly had a bigger posse than PE, actress Leelee Sobieski was hanging out, and Yeah Yeah Yeahs' Nick Zinner watched Public Enemy's set from the balcony.
It's not really a party unless Andrew Andrew are there to make you see double double. They were dressed in prep school attire, as were Adam Dugas and Casey Spooner (who was supposed to introduce LCD Soundsystem, but didn't), which I pointed out to the Andrews, who replied: "Yeah, but Casey's like the headmaster; we're just the students." Spooner and Dugas and I peeped the LCD set from the front of the stage. When they played "Tribulations," I noted how much it sounded like Fischerspooner. Casey: "No wonder I like it so much."
Downstairs Tommie Sunshine, who played for three hours, including one all-punk-rock set, watched as audience members got their hair done by Garnier Fructis hair people. I asked him if he was gonna have his tresses touched up, and he tossed his long, blond locks, and said, "I don't need any help." The Andrews were hyperventilating about Hurra Torpedo, a band that uses household applianceslike stovesinstead of drums. I think the Andrews just like Hurra Torpedo because they've found their soul mates. You see, Hurra Torpedo wear matching tracksuits.
Dinosaur Jr.'s J Mascis turned up for a surprise acoustic set, and if I had a dollar for every time I heard someone talk about how emcee Juliette Lewis had the hottest legs in the world and would I please take a picture of them (I did, it'll cost you), I would be rich enough to buy a New York City apartment.
After five hours, five hours and who knows how many drinks, the crowd started chanting, " Flavor Flav! Flavor Flav!" because they could see the rapper up in the balcony watching D.M.C. Finally, PE. After the first song, the stage fully loaded with Professor Griff, and the PE army detail, Chuck D addressed the crowd. "If this is your first Public Enemy show, or your last, welcome to the terrordome!" and then launched into the classic. Even the stone-faced, surly bouncer cracked a smile. Wicked.

British Generalship on the Western Front 1914–1918
Defeat into Victory
By Simon Robbins
Routledge – 2006 – 272 pages
Series: Military History and Policy
Routledge – 2006 – 272 pages
Series: Military History and Policy
This book explores the British Army's response on the Western Front to a period of seminal change in warfare. In particular it examines the impact of the pre-war emphasis on worldwide garrison, occupation and policing duties for the Empire's defence of the mindset of the Army's leadership and its lack of preparation for a continental war involving a massive, unplanned increase in men and material.
The reasons for the poor performance in the early years of the war, notably professionalism within the British Army, including poor staff work, 'trade unionism', careerism within the high command, and the tendency of an overconfident hierarchy to ignore the need for reform to tackle the tactical stalemate prior to 1916, are analyzed. The high command rapidly learnt from the defeats of 1915–16 and performed much better in 1916–18, an especially formative period resulting in the promotion of a younger, more professional leadership and the development of the first truly modern system of tactics which has dominated wars ever since.
During 1917–18 the Army's commanders and staff evolved and improved these new methods; developing a doctrine of combined arms to overcome the tactical stalemate bedevilling Allied offensives.

MSI GeForce GTX 670 Power edition /OC review -
Product Showcase
Product Showcase
Alright, here we have the MSI GeForce GTX 670 Power Edition / OC, the 2GB SKU (stock keeping unit) and its packaging. Overall a nice dark looking card some blue tones. Let's look at the card from several different viewpoints. The GTX 670 card is quite good looking with the matching colored monitor connectors and a slightly different looking cooler.
The card is equipped with the GK104 GPU that harbors the Kepler GPU architecture. You get the basics like the graphics card, PEG converter cables, manual and a demo and driver CD, though bundles will vary with AIB/AIC partners. MSI clocks the /OC model card at a 1019 MHz baseclock, a 1089 MHz Boost/Turbo clock and the memory is running at 6008 MHz. This factory tweak positions the card at the performance level of a GeForce GTX 680.
Mind you that the reference baseclock is 915 MHz, so that's quite a factory clock right there.
The MSI card will come with two GB of graphics memory, which is definitely enough if you are a hardcore gamer with a monitor resolution of 1920x1200. Should you opt multiple monitors and SLI, a 4GB version might be a slightly better alternative.
And as you can see there is room left on the PCB to double up memory. These are GDDR5 SMT solder traces next to each RAM IC. So perhaps there will be a four GB model released. This however remains unconfirmed.
We review the MSI GeForce GTX Gaming OC, the card comes with a newly revised TwiNFrozr model cooler. And that makes it silent and deadly as you will not hear this product. The GTX 960 is introduced in th...

White Island Tours provide a very well run and comprehensive day trip to White Island. The operation is very professionally run, I was very impressed.
The base, at 15 The Strand East, Whakatane, is a stunning motel building with shop and cafe, right across the road from the wharf. This provides somewhere to stay if you arrive in Whakatane the night before, which is very sensible. Also a nice environment to sit and wait for the trip, even if you haven't stayed the night in the motel.
Tours are 7 days a week at 09:15am,
01 December to 26 December: 8.am, 9.15am
27 December to 10 January: 7.00am, 9.15am, 12.30pm
11 January to 31 January: 8:00am, 9.15am
01 February to 28 February: 8.00am, 9.15am
All are Weather Permitting.
They run a Shuttle Bus from Rotorua to meet the 09:15am sailing.
Trip out is approx 80 mins, depending on sea conditions.
Island tour is 90 - 120 mins.
Morning Tea and Lunch provided on the boat.
Total trip time is approx 6 hours.

Pendientes del capitán / Pending on the skiper
Llamamos desde Rotorua para ver si había excursion al día siguiente a la Isla de White y nos dijeron que la decisión la tenía que tomar el capitán justo antes de salir , pues el mar estaba revuelto .
Quedamos en llamar el día siguiente a primera hora y efectivamente antes de las nueve que llamamos ya teníamos una furgoneta en el camping que nos iba a llevar y traer hasta Whakatane , donde tomamos el barco , con 48 pasajeros , que nos llevó hasta la isla que está a 48 kms en casi dos horas
El barco es cómodo y te entrtienen con tés a la ida y algo de comer a la vuelta .
Como vas tranquilo y relajado por el mar no se hace muy pesado el viaje
We called from Rotorua to see if the next day shoud departure the boat to the Isle of White and they told us that the decision had to be taken by the skiper just before leaving, because the sea was rough at that moment .
We agreed to call the next day early and in fact before we call them at nine we already had a van at the campsite to pick up to us , that would take us and bring back from Whakatane, where we took the boat, with 48 pasengers , which led us to the island that is 48 km from the coast in about two hours
The ship is comfortable and they entretain you with tea on the outward and something to eat when you come back.
As you are relaxed in the sea , it is a nice travel

"Commie Camp," a documentary about a children's camp that Rush Limbaugh describes as "an extremist communist indoctrination center," will kick off the 2014 Summer Season of the Santa Fe Jewish Film Festival. Camp Kinderland alum and comedian Katie Halper, decided there was just one way to get to the bottom of the allegations: go back to camp.
The festival begins 4 p.m. Sunday at CCA Cinematheque in Santa Fe. Camp treats, including S'mores will follow the film.
For one summer Halper followed four nine-year-olds as they experienced Camp Kinderland. They muddle through Yiddish lessons, compete in the World Peace Olympics (Kinderland's answer to the color war), stage a protest against police brutality, and explore an in-camp exhibit on Hiroshima and Nagasaki.
Los Alamos Firefighter Danny McBride is a busy man who wears many hats.
In addition to his career in the LAFD, McBride, 37, is the father of three and recently landed one of the main roles in "Les Miserables," which is playing at the Albuquerque Little Theatre this month.
The long-running Broadway show also celebrates the 84th season of the Albuquerque theater. A majority of the 200-plus cast and crew live in Albuquerque.
McBride plays Enjolras, a character that suits him well, he said.
"It has always been one of my favorite shows, so when I heard there were auditions, I decided to try out and I got the part," McBride said. "I hadn't done musical theater since high school and wanted to see if I could rise to the challenge of being on stage. It was definitely more than I expected."
McBride was born, raised and still resides in Albuquerque.
McBride did not let the vigorous rehearsal schedule interfere with job as a firefighter. He said his co-workers at the LAFD supported him the whole way. "It's been tough with my schedule.
McBride works 48-hour shifts at LAFD, then is home for four days a week.
Los Alamos was the first to hire him after he received his EMT license and he has been an active firefighter during the Las Conchas fire.

Los Alamos Arts Council presents a brown bag concert performance featuring local artists.
The show begins at noon Wednesday in the Pajarito Room at Fuller Lodge.
These performances are free and open to the public. May's performance features a group of local brass musicians called the Ad Hoc Octet. Their program includes a wide range of genres, from baroque, to classical, to jazz.
The concert will start with some standard tunes from the brass quintet literature, and then move on to pieces for the full group of eight.
The performers will be Larry Bronisz, John Hargreaves, Elizabeth Hunke, Dave Korzekwa, Deniece Korzekwa, Bruce Letellier, Jerry Morzinski and Mandy Marksteiner.
"Here's looking at you, kid." "We'll always have Paris." "Round up the usual suspects." "Of all the gin joints in all the towns in all the world, she walks into mine." "Louie, I think this is the beginning of a beautiful friendship."
Regardless of whether you have actually seen "Casablanca," you have probably heard a few of these quotes before. But nothing compares to hearing them in their original context. Moviegoers will have a chance to see "Casablanca" again, or for the first time at 6:30 p.m. today at the Mesa Public Library as part of the Free Film Series.
Since its release in 1942, the three-time Oscar winner has been quoted, awarded, touted, referenced and generally adored around the world. It would seem Humphrey Bogart and Ingrid Bergman still has everyone convinced: This is love. This is war. This is the definition of bittersweet.
Specifically, this is World War II, in the bustling Moroccan town of Casablanca, where European refugees come and often stay for quite awhile, hoping to find passage to the United States. Bogart plays Rick Blaine, a dark, brooding entrepreneur who becomes slightly less enigmatic once Bergman, as Ilsa Lund, walks into his gin joint.
Love is confusing. Love is an endless roller coaster of emotions, assumptions, heart palpitations, tears, sacrifices, and experiences.
Sometimes love brings marriage and children. Sometimes love brings lives and families that are eventually destroyed.
The question is, why do we go through it all? What do we really think about the person we are dating? If we could say anything to that person without consequence, what would it be?
These thoughts about love, marriage, intimacy, becoming elderly and more are presented in the musical comedy, "I Love You, You're Perfect, Now Change."
It will be presented at Los Alamos Little Theatre starting Friday.
Written by Joe DiPietro with music by Jimmy Roberts, "I Love You, You're Perfect, Now Change" is a series of 20 vignettes about relationships.
"I Love You, You're Perfect, Now Change," opened in 1996 on Broadway and by 2008 played a total of 20 previews and 5,003 regular performances, making it the second longest-running musical in Off-Broadway history.
Los Alamos High School Olions Thespian Club is gearing up for their production of "Thoroughly Modern Millie," which begins with a preview 7 p.m. today in Duane Smith Auditorium.
The musical is based on the 1967 film of the same name which tells the story of a small-town girl, Millie Dillmount (played by Camille Rousculp), who moves to New York and assumes the flapper lifestyle. She finds a job as a stenographer and a room at the Hotel Priscilla for Women.
She has big plans for her life, but they are all changed when she meets Jimmy Smith (played by Charlie Herrmann).
The musical was written by Richard Morris and Dick Scanlan, with music by Jeanine Tesori and lyrics by Scanlan. It is directed by Rachel Saxton, the musical director is Jason Rutledge, and the orchestra director is Ryan Finn.
Cast members also include Justine Dombrowski, Jack Majure-Barkley, Devon McCleskey, Katie Downing, Maria McTeigue, Rosemary Vigil, Haley Henson, Megan Pimentel, Monica Clarke, Kate Margevicius, Ally Edelmanm, Hannah Dye, Sopahn Kellogg, Alice Zhao, Jeremy Goettee, Renee D'Andrea, Cody Maggiore, Ethan Clements, Joe Singleton, Allie Cunningham, Melanie Boncella, and Sydney Shelton. Crew heads include Hannah Purtymun, Tammi Frogget, Charlotte Berg, Ben Reichelt, Margevicius, Downing, Henson, Vigil and Charlie Herrmann.

Great! Lecithin from now will be my principal source of life. The changes over my brain were significant. The short term memory problems and long term are rapidly improving. Personally I have started taking two cups a day but now Im taking three. I definitely strongly recommend Lecithin especially for people who are over 50 years old.
Fast results.

Rodriguez, Berto dream of shot at WBC boxing title
One will earn crown tonight
Miguel "Mikki" Rodriguez is still learning to speak English.
But when it comes to talking about his 12-round WBC world welterweight championship fight tonight in FedExForum against Andre Berto, Rodriguez has no problem making his message perfectly understood.
"I've looked for this fight for many years and now I'm here," said Rodriguez, (29-2, 23 knockouts), who weighed in at 145 pounds on Friday, just under the 147-pound weight limit. "This is my dream. I'm prepared, I'm in shape and I'm good. I feel like I can win this fight."
Berto (21-0, 18 KOs) echoes Rodriguez's sentiments, also calling a chance to win the world title "a dream."
"It would be a dream come true for me," said Berto, who will weigh 146 pounds for his 22nd professional fight. "It's something I've dreamed about since I first laced up a pair of boxing gloves when I was five years old. It would be a huge achievement for me."
HBO is televising the final two fights on the eight-bout card that starts at 5:45 p.m. The Berto-Rodriguez main event is expected to start between 10:15 and 10:30 p.m., while the much-anticipated WBC Continental American heavyweight championship matching title holder Chris Arreola and contender Chazz Witherspoon should begin at about 9:15.
Tickets are on sale, ranging from $25 to $100 at the FedExForum box office. Current military personnel and city of Memphis employees with valid work identification may purchase two tickets for the price of one.
When the Berto-Rodriguez matchup was first announced May 11, it wasn't a title bout. But when welterweight champion Floyd Mayweather Jr. suddenly retired, it left a vacancy at the top for the No. 1 (Berto) and No. 2 (Rodriguez) WBC contenders.
"I'm trying to look at this as another fight," Berto said. "I don't want to add any pressure."
Rodriguez isn't taking Berto's approach.
"I want to show the world and HBO and everybody who Mikki Rodriguez is," Rodriguez said. "HBO and the promoters are giving me a chance to show my boxing to the world."
Berto, who has watched a few tapes of Rodriguez, said he expects a lively fight.
"This is a guy I definitely can't look past," Berto said. "I've heard he's pretty strong. He's the type of guy that has a family to feed, so I'll get the best of Mikki Rodriguez. But if he comes in there half-stepping, it might be a short night."
As good as the fight for the world welterweight belt should be, it has the potential to be upstaged by the Arreola vs. Witherspoon throwdown, a battle between two 23-0 fighters.
Arreola is the bigger, stronger more experienced fighter. He weighed in at 239 on Friday, compared with Witherspoon's 220.
Arreola has a lot of respect for Witherspoon.
"I have nothing but good things to say about him," said Arreola, who has 21 knockouts. "He's a good guy, a classy dude. There's no reason to badmouth. I do my talking in the ring."
Witherspoon is expecting Arreola to come full force from the opening bell. The scouting report on both fighters is they aren't shy about unloading their arsenal of punches.
"I know Chris comes to fight and he's a tough guy," said Witherspoon, who has 15 KOs. "A win for me would push me into the upper echelon of the heavyweight division."
New York-based fight promoter Lou DiBella, who's promoting the fight with local promoter Brian Young of Prize Fight Boxing, is enthusiastic about the top two fights on tonight's card.
"These are four classy young men who have worked very hard to get to this point," DiBella said. "For all of them, this is an opportunity of a lifetime, and I expect both fights to be very competitive and extremely entertaining. These fighters deserve this opportunity, and I think they'll represent the sport well."

The boxing starts at 5:45 p.m. today at FedExForum, and tickets are available at the box office. Here's a look at the card:

It takes three days and three artisans to make a nagaswaram
'Narasinghapettai nagaswaram', a classical music instrument, stands before the Geographical Indications (GI) Registry for getting a tag that will give legal protection to the artisans who are known for its craftsmanship.
The Thanjavur District Fine Arts Protection Society, facilitated by Intellectual Property Rights Attorneys Association (IPRAA), has filed a formal application before the GI Registry here.
Inheriting the skill of making from predecessors, only a few artisans have been chiselling the wooden instruments in Narasinghapettai, a nondescript village situated a few kilometres from the temple town of Kumbakonam. According to the artisans, it takes three days and three artisans to make one nagaswaram.
P. Sanjay Gandhi, president of IPRAA said, "Only a handful of artisans are involved in the production of the musical instruments. If this GI tag is granted to the Society, it will confer legal protection to the artisans and their products and prevent unauthorised use of the brand name by others."
Evolved with time
The ancient instrument went through many changes, resulting in the creation of the present-day pari (long) nagaswaram, which replaced its predecessor, the 'thimiri', the short instrument producing a sharp and high pitch with a shruthi of three.
Nagaswaram, also known as 'nadhaswaram' is a double reed instrument with a conical bore, which gradually enlarges towards the end. The instrument is made of wood taken from old houses or 'acha maram' traditionally.
The instrument has five additional holes drilled at the bottom that are used as controllers. It has a range of two and a half octaves like the flute. The applicant said an inspection body comprising of experts and artisans would be formed to strictly regulate the quality and parameters of the pith works.

I'm going to be putting in the castle 2650 in my summit tomorrow along with the mamba monster 2. I've ran the 2200 in my past summits but never the 2650. I will be running 4s spc lipos 2x2s. What is a good gearing to start at? 19/68? I will also be running trencher x tires as well.

AC Milan defender Mario Yepes was delighted to finish his first season at the club a title winner.
The Colombian became an unexpected fan favourite in this title-winning campaign.
"I was always convinced that I was up to Milan's standards," he told the Gazzetta dello Sport.
"At the start I was sad, as everyone had a chance to play except me. Adriano Galliani did well at that time, and I'm proud to have proved him right in choosing me.
"Competition is further motivation. The more important players like Philippe Mexes arrive, the higher Milan can aim."
