Buffalo Sabres (35-32-6-4) at Pittsburgh Penguins (21-46-7-4), 7:30 p.m.
(Sports Network) - The Buffalo Sabres go for their fourth straight victory tonight when they pay a visit to the Pittsburgh Penguins in the finale of a home-and-home series at the Igloo.
The Sabres will have to continue their current hot streak to have any chance of making the playoffs. They are currently six points behind the New York Islanders for the eighth and final playoff spot in the Eastern Conference. Both teams have five games remaining.
On Friday, Chris Drury scored a goal and assisted on another, while Jochen Hecht added three helpers to lift Buffalo to a 5-1 win over Pittsburgh at HSBC Arena.
Daniel Briere, Jay McKee, Maxim Afinogenov and Andrew Peters also scored for the Sabres, who snapped a nine-game winless streak against the Penguins (1-7-2).
Martin Biron made 24 saves on 25 shots to earn the win, as Buffalo has now earned at least a point in nine of its last 11 games (6-2-0-3).
Milan Kraft scored for the Penguins, who had their three-game winning streak halted. Sebastien Caron faced 30 shots, but made just 26 saves in defeat.
Pittsburgh lost for just the second time in its last 11 games (8-2-1).
Buffalo, 7-2-1-2 in it last 12 home games, hosts the Columbus Blue Jackets on Monday night. The Penguins, meanwhile, will travel to the nation's capital to face the Washington Capitals on Tuesday.
Despite Friday's loss, the Penguins are still 17-5-6 in the last 28 matchups with the Sabres. Buffalo is also still winless in its previous six trips to Pittsburgh (0-5-1).

'Former Sabres defenseman Andrej Sekera, who finished last season in Los Angeles after Buffalo traded him to Carolina at the 2013 draft, is probably the best available defender.'
Sabres might have short want list in free agency
Goalie Robin Lehner ready to become Sabres' starter
'"It shows he believes in me," Lehner said. "That's special. Some memories from (Binghamton), we won the Calder Cup (in the AHL) there. He's been a big part of my development."'
Matt Ellis: The rebuild role player who has left a lasting impression
'We won't see his name next to special Sabres like Danny Gare or Dominik Hasek in the rafters. But, as his career reaches a crossroads this offseason, it's worth pointing out that there is a lot that is special about Matt Ellis – about his journey to the NHL and his years in Buffalo.'
O'Reilly excited to take on leadership role with Sabres
'"I've always wanted to be a big piece like that, have that leadership role and be seen as that by the management," he said. "It's another area to grow my game. If I can do that and transfer what I know and still at the same time learn new things, it's only going to benefit the team and benefit myself. It's a huge step that I can't wait to get started with."'
'Pieces are in place' for exciting times ahead
'While not winning the lottery can be a disappointment, Jack is as far from a consolation prize as one can be. The grace, skill and power he brings is unique and coach Dan Bylsma knows all too well the talents of uniquely gifted players and will prove to be a catalyst for Jack and the entire team to reach its potential.'
After his worst season, Sabres send Hodgson packing
'The Sabres' decision would have been tougher if Hodgson's troubles began next season. He is 25 years old. Buyouts typically cost two-thirds of the remaining salary, but the rules are different for players age 25 and under. They can be bought out for just one-third of their remaining salary.'
O'Reilly wants to be a factor for Sabres
'"It's flattering to be looked at that way," the 24-year-old said. "To come in with confidence in myself and them having confidence in me, it's definitely a huge honor."'
Ryan O'Reilly wants leadership role with Sabres
'"I think it's going to be a big challenge with me," O'Reilly said this afternoon on a conference call. "I think in the past with Colorado I wasn't really looked at as much of a leader. I think … with the Sabres I have to be a more vocal guy, be that more off-ice leader and on-ice as well."'
Awful season costs Cody Hodgson job with Sabres
'It's easy to forget now, but less than two years ago Hodgson was a player the Sabres began to build around.'
Sabres won't keep goalie coach Arturs Irbe
'The Latvian, a former NHL-All Star, earned high praise last season for helping the Sabres' regular goalies – Jhonas Enroth, Anders Lindback and Michal Neuvirth – thrive despite poor defensive play all around them. The Sabres allowed a league-high 35.6 shots a game.'
Former Sabres star Phil Housley emotional over Hall of Fame election
'"I got to thank Seymour and Norty Knox, the owners of the Buffalo Sabres, and Scotty Bowman, for taking a chance on a high school kid that probably weighed about 165 pounds soaking wet," Housley said. "It was a great time for me."'
Former Avalanche center Ryan O'Reilly eager to be leader with Sabres
'"Yeah, I think negotiations were always difficult," said O'Reilly, who is represented by agents Pat Morris and Mark Guy of Newport Sports Management Inc. "(But) I don't think there's anything I would have done differently. My agent has done phenomenal things for me in my career."'
Sabres' Jerry D'Amigo poised to remain on NHL roster
'"Obviously in the past I've heard some bad things, but with the new ownership, with (owner Terry) Pegula there, definitely a lot of positive things have been happening and hopefully a lot more," D'Amigo said. "I'm excited for it and I'm glad to be in the organization."'
AP source: Sabres place forward Cody Hodgson on waivers
'Sabres general manager Tim Murray said the move was being considered as recently as two weeks ago. It follows a near-complete teardown of the roster.'
Sabres raise expectations for quick success with changes at draft
'"Everything's new and let's see how it all comes together in training camp," Murray said. "I think we've taken big strides."'

Pentagon Probes 'Inappropriate' Emails By Gen. Allen
By Renee Montagne & Tom Bowman
There's a new twist to the Gen. David Petraeus scandal. The Pentagon announced the top American commander in Afghanistan, Gen. John Allen, is under investigation for alleged "inappropriate communications" with a woman who is said to have received threatening emails from Paula Broadwell. That's the woman with whom Petraeus had an extramarital affair.

Who the hell do you guys think is running this show?
Secondly ... it's because it AIN'T their damn job to do it, and no way in hell candidates like Robme who are under the PTB umbrella would do this anyway, gotta get real...
It's the same thing with people who say RP threw 911 truthers under the bus ... RP never did, it wasn't his job to come out and reveal everything about 911. Political suicide. He would have likely lost his current seat and would have been unable to effect changes elsewhere (as he's done successfully)...like the 'Audit the Fed' bill that just passed, for example. Probably never would have happened if he opened himself up to attacks over 911 truth years ago.
Lastly? Too many other issues to take care of.

Hate speech: Will Praveen Togadia be arrested today?
Zeenews Bureau
Mumbai: Firebrand Vishwa Hindu Parishad (VHP) leader Praveen Togadia's arrest now looks imminent a day after the Maharashtra Police registered two cases against him for making a hate speech in the Nanded district of the state last week.
Reports, Friday, claimed that the Congress-NCP government in Maharashtra is under extreme pressure to act the Hindi outfit leader and may order his arrest today.
The cases were filed against Togadia after the Maharashtra government ordered an inquiry into the provocative speeches made by him in Nanded last month against members of a particular community.
The state government, after being asked by the Centre to investigate into allegations of Togadia's provocative speeches, assured it of due legal process.
Minister of State for Home RPN Singh said on Thursday, "If Togadia`s speech is inflammatory; the state government must take action against him." Law and order, he pointed out, was a state subject.
A little before the police booked Togadia for disturbing harmony and public mischief, Maharashtra Home Minister RR Patil said, "Maharashtra has one standard for all. Whatever Togadia has said will be examined and after that whatever legal and police process has to be done, will be done."
Patil`s own colleague, Maharashtra Minister for Minorities Naseem Khan also said that he had heard the speech and that "there is enough evidence to book Praveen Togadia. He is clearly trying to divide communities in an attempt to polarise them before the elections." He also urged the Congress-NCP government to register a case against the VHP leader.
At a public meeting at Bhokar town in Nanded district of Maharashtra on January 22— details of which are now surfacing after a video-recording was posted online— Togadia had allegedly attacked Majlis-e-Ittehadul Muslimeen (MIM) MLA Akbaruddin Owaisi and members of a particular community.
Owaisi was sent to jail on charges of delivering a hate speech at Nirmal town in Adilabad district of Andhra Pradesh last month.
The VHP leader had also triggered a controversy by making a controversial speech on February 1 near Adilabad in Andhra Pradesh.

What do Pavement, MGM musicals, Robert Rauschenberg, Iggy Pop and Jean Luc Godard have in common? Not much, to most people. But for St. Louis-based duo Sleepy Kitty, all these sublimely weird and seemingly contradictory art forms are source material and inspiration for their forthcoming sophomore release, Projection Room, due January 14, 2014.
Stream and share the new single, "Don't You Start," with your readers via Soundcloud
Today, Golightly Media, in conjunction with Euclid Records are excited to announce that Sleepy Kitty have released the glittering garage-punk track and new single, "Don't You Start," on Guitar World
Projection Room is a gorgeous art-punk achievement by the band that sees them creating a cohesive new sound, while still including flagrant waves to their pop culture influences. It's art-school reference and experimentation with rock instruments and flaming guitar solos, but a musical theater backbone and '60s stacked harmonies. And it's catchy as hell.
Sleepy Kitty began to take shape at the end of 2008, when Evan Sult, who was drumming for Chicago's Bound Stems after an eight-year stint in late-'90s alt-radio band Harvey Danger, met Paige Brubeck at a party. She was studying at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago and playing in the all-girl band Stiletto Attack. For a project that originally began as an outlet for the duo to do "weirdo stuff that our own bands weren't interested in doing," as Sult says, Sleepy Kitty has quickly become a full-fledged enterprise. Based out of their self-described "art castle," a studio space in the middle of Cherokee Street in St. Louis, MO, Sleepy Kitty is a multimedia project: the two collaborate professionally on music, rock posters, album artwork, and fine art together. It's this space that has birthed two Sleepy Kitty EP releases and a debut LP, Infinity City (2011), and is home to a blossoming art and graphics project under the same name.
The band is gaining momentum at an incredible pace, with features from TWELV Magazine, Idobi Radio, All Things Go, Columbia Free Times, Break Thru Radio, as well as securing the coveted Best Indie Band several years running in the Riverfront Times, St. Louis' weekly paper, and scoring support slots for the likes of Deerhoof, Best Coast and Jeff The Brotherhood. With Paste Magazine calling their 2011 release "spectacularly catchy," with "just enough cute...combined with distorted rock and a heavy drum beat," 2014's Projection Room is a natural step forward for the duo, and is their own garage-pop dream.

Vt. town to reconsider wind issue at town meetingMarch 04,2014
The Associated Press
MONTPELIER -- Voters at Lowell's Town Meeting Day are being asked to reconsider their support for Green Mountain Power's Kingdom Community Wind project, now making electricity on a community ridgeline. But no matter what they decide, the 21 turbines will continue making power for now.
In 2010, before the project was built, 75 percent of Lowell residents voted in favor of the project, but a ruling by the Vermont Supreme Court is forcing the community to reconsider an anti-wind resolution it says was improperly passed over during the community's 2012 Town Meeting.
Lowell Town Clerk Karen Clinger said she doesn't know what to expect when the issue is brought up Tuesday, but Select Board Chair Richard Pion has said that no matter what the vote is on the non-binding question, he expects nothing will change.
Resident Ed Wesolow, who took the issue to the Vermont Supreme Court, said the ruling to put it back on the agenda was a win for democracy because there will be additional discussion.
The Lowell wind issue is one of many being considered by voters across Vermont who are holding their annual Town Meeting Day.
Town Meeting is used in many communities to elect municipal officers, approve budgets, examine zoning bylaws, authorize long-term capital borrowing and decide town operating calendars.
Lowell isn't the only community that will discuss energy issues. On Monday in Cornwall, voters passed a non-binding resolution to oppose a plan that would pipe natural gas to Ticonderoga, N.Y., through their community. The referendum vote was 126 to 16.
Shoreham voters will hold a similar vote on Tuesday.
Montpelier voters will be choosing a mayor and Burlington voters will be considering gun control measures. Three articles on the agenda there would allow police officers to confiscate guns, ammunition or weapons from suspected domestic abusers, ban firearms from locations with liquor licenses and require firearms to be locked when not with their users.MORE IN This Just InWeston Playhouse Theatre Company opened its 79th season with a slice of Vermont hick.

There's bad news if you had tickets to see "The Tonight Show" tonight (June 26) as Jimmy Fallon has cancelled the taping due to a last-minute surgical procedure.
The former "Saturday Night Live" star's rep issued a statement, explaining, "Jimmy Fallon was required to have minor surgery after injuring his hand at his Manhattan apartment this morning. He is expected to make a full recovery."
Always a witty gentleman, Jimmy Fallon expressed his feelings regarding David Letterman's departure from "The Late Show" on Monday night (May 18).
The "Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon" host began by noting that Dave was retiring "after 33 years of innovation, fun and just plain weirdness, but mostly fun."
It's one of the hottest segments of "The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon," and now "Lip Sync Battle" is getting its own show.
She's the biggest thing in pop music since The Beatles and Taylor Swift got to rock out with the legendary Beatle Paul McCartney at the Plaza Hotel in New York City this weekend.
It's been an amazing year for Jimmy Fallon, given his overwhelmingly successful takeover of "The Tonight Show," and now Entertainment Weekly has given him an esteemed honor. The popular publication has declared that Fallon is the Entertainer of the Year thanks to his knack for viral pranks and creative contests.
He's the proud papa of and adorable daughter named Winnie Rose, and Jimmy Fallon has just announced a new book project just for kids.
The forthcoming opus, titled "Your Baby's First Word Will Be Dada," is slated to hit stores on June 9th and the "Tonight Show" star can't wait for kiddos the world over to enjoy it.
It's no secret that she's a fabulous actress, and Taylor Swift channeled her inner thirteen-year-old while visiting "The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon" last night (August 13).
The "I Knew You Were Trouble" songstress put her hair up in pigtails and donned some dental gear and geek glasses to play the role of Natalie.
He may be the hottest late night host on television these days, but Jimmy Fallon knows he's standing on the shoulders of giants, one of which is the late Robin Williams.
During "The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon" last night (August 12), an emotional Fallon had some kind words about the late, great "Good Morning Vietnam" legend.

I have rediscovered my love for this product and noticed that I had not yet reviewed it. I thought it important to do so as even many Chanel store artists even get this product. Of course the packaging is divine. Yes, it is a powder. It is both mattifying yet luminizing at the same time. This is nothing special though as many powders both low and high end are getting into this niche. I like to wear this product with my Amore Pacific cushion compact, by itself and with regular foundation. With the cushion compact, it just adds a little more coverage without disturbing the natural finish. Applied alone with a kabuki it is great for no fuss days. Applied over foundation, it ditches thw mask like effect, making it look more like real skin. In summer I wear shade 20 to enhance my glow in a natural way and in fall/winter I like shade 10. I am B20 in Chanel foundation, light but not extremely fair with a neutral undertone. What this powder does for me that others do not do is that it adds smoothness to my face. I have good skin but have larger pores and texture I do not like. Giselle who is the beautiful spokeswoman for this product also has some texture to her skin if you ever look at her photos sans makeup. This product does the same thing for her. I like the product a great deal and just repurchased it. It says a lot when a makeup hoarder like myself actually finishes a powder product and repurchases it.

I would say that it if retailed for half what it sold for, i would say give it a go. There is nothing special about this, its just another pressed powder which isn't particularly finely milled either. The distinguishing feature is that is give you a hint of a tan, which is nothing you can't get from using any powder one shade up. The quality is just average, its not even as smooth as my covergirl clean pressed powder lightly fragranced. If you use this to touch up during the day, its way too thick and too orange, hence its one of those things you use once upon make up application. If I could get more mileage out of it then I would give it one more star, but save your money, this really isn't that good to be curious enough to fork out what it retails for.

I have no idea if I like this yet. I've been using it for weeks but I'm still not sure. Over some foundation it looks amazing, like laura mercier silk creme. However over smashbox liquid halo its total garbage making weird separation happen on my nose area and chin. I don't get it!
It smells like heaven and has a lovey compact that even has a velvet slip you put it in. So luxe
I was mistaken in my assumption that it would have a bit of a shimmery glow to it. It's totally matte but still looks nice over the right foundation.

I'm not sure if I love this product, or if it just makes me FEEL pretty when I use it!
I mean, look at it. The packaging is gorgeous. It's a small luxury. Everything about it sumptuous. But I'm not totally convinced it serves me better than any number of less-expensive powders, like a Lancome or an Estee Lauder. Part of this could be how I'm using it. I bought shade 20, which is a perfect match for my skin, and I've been using a light dusting of it after foundation as a setting powder. I haven't noticed any particular "glow" when applied this way. Perhaps Les Beiges just works better in a shade darker, as a subtle bronzer? I think I'll try it like that next before kick it out of my makeup bag.

This was a pricey purchase, but there's no denying how great it looks! I'm using the 40, which is a shade darker than my skin tone. I'm using it as a bronzer. At first I thought it would be too dark, but it actually is quite sheer and bronzed my skin as I hoped it would. The SA told me that the powders are versatile. You can use them as a highlighter, bronzer, pressed powder, or for contouring.

This is a very nice powder and normally i hate powders. It doesn't leave your skin looking dry and dull. It is nearly invisible but still mattifies a bit while giving a subtle glow, i know these two sounds contradictory but it is what it is. It has spf as well, i am using number 20, and it is just the same tone as my skin, i don't like a tanned look on me. Very happy so far..

I'm going to be one of minority here and say I really enjoy this powder. It does what the packaging says; it imparts a beautiful healthy glow. I bought this in shade 50 and use it as a bronzer. It has a slight blurring, skin perfecting effect that I think is very flattering. I tend to use this on top of my Chanel Soleil Tan De Chanel as I find that using either product on its own will last no longer than 6 hours on my skin. Using both at the same time will give me the glow for 12 hours (fading at the 10 hour mark).
The packaging is stunning; beige with the Chanel logo in black. The brush it came with is soft and good for touch ups. The generous sized mirror is also good for touch ups on the go.
The powder itself is very finely milled and easy to blend. I find that when I use this close to the hair line it could make my hair feel a little crunchy (?), similar to the feel of hairspray. Very odd.
All in all, I reall enjoy this powder. I think it's very luxurious and it meets my needs. Definitely will repurchase if and when I run out.

I have this in shade 20. I love the chic packaging (hey, it's Chanel). The brush that comes with it is great for touch ups and the compact has a decent mirror. On to the powder itself, I loved how glowy and dewy Gisele's skin was on the advertisements. I have combination to oily skin, so I love when a powder isn't just matte. I never achieved the glowy and dewy effect with this, though. However, my skin looks silky and a tiny bit luminous. It's a decent non-matte formula, very fine milled. It does the job by keeping my complexion even, keeps my skin semi-matte and gives a healthy look. Would I repurchase? I'm not sure, i believe there a much cheaper powders that give the same result, but just don't have the fancy packaging. Overall I like it very much.

I have combination skin, with oily nose and forehead, dry patches and some redness. I wear it every day alone for a hint of healthy-looking coverage. Just don't count on it for anything more than that. I am content with a very light coverage. My skin looks natural and real but a more perfect and radiant version. For me it`s perfect, I love the carefree and undone look. And the feeling of wearing Chanel. :-) I like to apply it with my Mac duo fiber brush.

I don't think a lot of people get this product which is a shame.. If you are like me and HATE the look of powder and matte skin but need a little help to keep your combination skin from turning into an oil slick throughout the day then LOOK NO FURTHER! This product is a godsend for me, I love my skin to glow and will buy any foundation marketed as 'dewy' however, my skin being slightly on the oily side, I admitted defeat and went in search of a powder that would prolong my foundation whilst letting me keep that glow! Well.. For a while I thought this was impossible, I tried sooo many (one being the nars light reflecting powder - big no) with no luck and nearly gave up until I came across this one (let's face it, it was probably the words 'healthy glow' that caught my attention but how could they not!?). At £39 it ain't cheap but once I had tried it, I knew it had to be mine! I pop a bit on and around my nose, chin and forehead in the morning before work (7am) then I'm good for a touch up until 2/3pm! I really like the little brush it comes with and usually reach for it when applying. The cream compact is a nice change from Chanel's usual all black packaging too! I have shade 20 which is a good match for my NC/NW20 skin and I just love how luminous it makes my skin without taking away the glow of my foundation! Absolutely lovely product, thank you Chanel!

This study employs a back-propagation network as the main structure in flood forecasting to learn and demonstrate the sophisticated nonlinear mapping relationship. A self organizing map network with classification ability is also applied to the solutions and parameters of BPN model in the learning stage, to classify the network parameter rules and obtain the winning parameters. Hence, hydrologic data intervals can then be forecasted, with the outcomes from the previous stage used as the ranges of the parameters in the recall stage. Finally, the effectiveness of methodology is verified by solving a flood discharge forecasting problem in the Wu-Shi basin of Taiwan.

Wind Chill
Back at work today, mostly. Wednesday was one long meeting in London in re Project Drill, which will be going to contract soon: we've nailed down all five acts and will spend most of March writing it. Thursday was wandering Spitalfields in a state of sleeplessness, dealing with shitloads of admin all night (including stuff on Project Vend, which has snuck up on me) and then bailing out early. Today is writing the end of FREAKANGELS vol 4 and some X-men pages.
Soon I will be able to rest. Hopefully, by the time I can,it will be warm here again. The wind chill is trapping me inside the pub today.

Okay, so I have my main site,
www.mydomain.com.au along with my mobile site which is within a subdomain,
I am trying to submit my subdomain to Google Webmaster Tools, although it cannot seem to verify it. I have tried with the HTML file upload and the meta tag option to.
I can verify that the Google HTML file is DEFINITELY uploaded since the link Google provides to check if it is there is working perfectly. Also, I have checked my source code and the meta tag is also definitely there.
.htaccess file has a mobile redirect so I thought that may have been the problem, so I deleted that file to check if it would validate, but still no luck.
I have approximately 12 websites that are setup the EXACT same as this one, and all of their mobile sites/subdomains verified with Webmaster Tools perfectly.
This is my error message:
We were unable to connect to your server.
Does anyone have any suggestions to why Google cannot verify my mobile site?

The Nature of Generosity is at once a natural sequel to the acclaimed memoir Hole in the Sky and an entirely unique masterwork from one of the finest writers of the American West. Taking as his topic the "ordinary yearning to take physical and emotional care," William Kittredge embarks upon a literary and philosophical grand tour that explores the very core of who we are. Whether he's recalling a childhood in Oregon, touring Europe, or studying photographs of Japanese gardens in a bookstore in New York City, Kittredge's connections are as unexpected as they are inspiring. Shattering the myth that survival of the fittest means "survival of the violent, or the cruelest, or the selfish," Kittredge imagines a world in which altruism dominates–and offers ample evidence that this is not an unreachable utopian ideal.
Hailed as one of our finest writers about the American West, William Kittredge now brings all his experience and intelligence to bear on the wider, and wilder, West of our civilization. In certain respects, The Nature of Generosity continues the story of Hole in the Sky, the acclaimed memoir of Kittredge's early life on his family's vast ranch in Oregon; but it also ranges freely, and exhilaratingly, around the world and through recorded time.A travel book of sorts–from New York and Venice to the Andalusian hills of García Lorca, from the cow towns of Montana to the caves at Lascaux–it is driven by the quest to reconcile childhood simplicities with the complex, urgent, adult questions about who to be, and how, and why. Drawing on our various histories–biological, cultural, psychological–Kittredge celebrates diversity as the cornerstone of our social possibilities, examines the freedom and responsibility this entails, and suggests that our culture's habitually selfish, combative behavior is far from being in our best interests–or, indeed, in our nature.Less geographical than philosophical, at once learned and curious, observant and personal, The Nature of Generosity is a revolutionary, and practical, magnum opus.From the Hardcover edition.
"[A]n unpredictable magnum opus, a daring and poetic polemic that challenges at every turn."–San Francisco Chronicle"Synthesizes a lifetime's worth of fears and hopes for the planet."–New Age"Fascinating and instructive."–The Oregonian
William Kittredge is the author, most recently, of The Nature of Generosity, and with Annick Smith he edited The Last Best Place: A Montana Anthology. He grew up in Oregon and now lives in Missoula, where for many years he taught… More about William Kittredge

Improved shoe inserts (22, 56, 63) are provided which are designed for placement within the toe regions (37, 52, 64) of shoes (34, 50, 62) to provide enhanced comfort to the shoe wearers. The inserts (22, 56, 63) are preferably cut from initial pillow-shaped bodies (20) to give the custom-designed inserts (22, 56, 63). The inserts (22, 56, 63) are designed to substantially occupy the distal end of the shoe toe region and present a proximal toe-engaging face that substantially spans the cross-sectional dimension of the toe-region. The inserts (22, 56, 63) are preferably formed of heat-sensitive, viscoelastic, polyurethane foam material.
1. A shoe insert consisting of:
a body formed of a compressible material,
said body presenting a substantially rectangular plan configuration, said body having a generally bulbous mid-section with lower and upper surfaces that are generally arcuate,
said body being severable along a generally diagonal cut line from a first corner to an opposing second corner to present two insert bodies, each insert body adapted to be placed within a toe region of a shoe and including—
a substantially flat surface corresponding to the diagonal cut line for engagement by toes of a wearer of the shoe, and
a corner apex positioned opposite the surface and adapted to be placed in the forward-most area of the toe region.
2. A shoe insert consisting of:
a body formed of a compressible material,
said body presenting a substantially rectangular plan configuration,
said body having a generally bulbous mid-section with lower and upper surfaces that are generally arcuate,
said body being severable along a generally bisectional cut line from a first side to an opposing second side to present two insert bodies, each insert body adapted to be placed within a toe region of a shoe,
wherein said first side of each said insert body has a substantially flat surface corresponding to the bisectional cut line for engagement by toes of a wearer of the shoe, and
wherein said second side of each said insert body, which is opposite said first side, is adapted to be placed in the forward-most area of the toe region.
1. Field of the Invention
The present invention is broadly concerned with shoe inserts and methods of use thereof. More particularly, the present invention concerns a shoe insert formed of memory foam and dimensioned to fit within the toe region and be compressed by at least some of the toes of the wearer so as to provide increased shoe comfort. In preferred forms, the insert body is initially of generally quadrate pillow-like form, which can be readily cut or otherwise sized to complement the toe region of desired shoe.
2. Description of the Prior Art
Shoe inserts designed to provide greater comfort during the wearing of shoes have long been provided. Most inserts of this character are formed of resilient foams or gel materials, and are of the full-sole type, meaning that they are placed within a shoe and extend the full length thereof, from toe to heel. However, these types of inserts provide no direct cushioning engagement with the forward surfaces of the wearer's toes, and in effect leave vacant the region between the wearer's toes and the extreme forward toe region of the shoes. This problem is magnified with some women's high-heel shoes having a sharply pointed toe region, such that the toes can experience an extreme amount of pressure.
Children's shoes are also problematic. In particular, children's shoes are often purchased larger than needed so that the child has opportunity to "grow" into the shoes. Oversized shoes are often loose and can cause, among other things, tripping, shuffling, etc.
Specialized shoe inserts have also been provided for dancing slippers or toe shoes, see U.S. Pat. Nos. 4,026,046 and 5,129,165. However, these types of inserts are not principally designed to give shoe comfort, but are used to facilitate toe dancing. For example, the '165 patent describes custom toe caps for ballerina pointe shoes, wherein the inserts are formed of dimensionally stable material affording no floating or distortion of the material during use. Silicone rubber-based compounds are used for this purpose. Similarly, in the '046 patent, a dancing slipper is described having a pre-molded toe insert which is initially shaped by placing the insert in boiling water.
Published Patent Application 2005/0115106 describes a full-length shoe insert used for determining whether a child's foot has outgrown a shoe. The insert is formed of a material (e.g., leather), which is marked by perspiration to show the child's foot placement within the shoe.
Heat-sensitive viscoelastic memory foams were first developed in conjunction with NASA's space programs. Such materials have the ability to conform with human body parts owing to body temperatures and pressure. Memory foams of this type have been adapted for use with beds as mattresses and mattress toppers.
The present invention provides improved resilient inserts for placement within the toe regions of shoes in order to give enhanced comfort during shoe wear. According to one aspect of the present invention, a shoe and a resilient shoe insert are provided. The shoe includes a sole and a shoe upper, which cooperatively present a substantially enclosed toe region having an open cross-sectional dimension. The insert is located within the toe region and comprises an insert body formed of memory foam. The insert body presents a shape that generally corresponds with a portion of the toe region. The insert body includes a proximal toe-engaging face that substantially spans the cross-sectional dimension, with toe-engaging face being positioned so that the insert body is compressed by at least some of the toes of a wearer of the shoe.
According to another aspect of the present invention, a shoe insert comprises a substantially quadrate body formed of heat-sensitive, viscoelastic polyurethane memory foam. The body has a length of from about two to four inches, a width of from about three-quarter to one and one-half inches, and a maximum thickness of from about one-quarter to three-quarter of an inch. The body is severable to present a preformed and pre-sized insert body adapted to be placed within the toe region of a shoe.
Yet another aspect of the present invention concerns a method of increasing the comfort of a shoe during wearing thereof, wherein the shoe presents a substantially closed toe region having a cross-sectional dimension. The method includes the step of providing a shoe insert body formed of memory foam, with the insert body including a proximal toe-engaging face dimensioned to substantially span the cross-sectional dimension of the toe region. The method also involves the step of placing the insert body within the toe region of the shoe, with the toe-engaging face directed proximally. Additionally, the method involves the step of donning the shoe so that at least some of the toes of the wearer come into contact with the toe-engaging face and compress the insert body.
In order to afford maximum flexibility in use, it is preferred that the insert bodies be initially in the form of small, substantially quadrate bodies having a configuration similar to that of a conventional bed pillow. The bodies are severable by hand scissors or other means in order to give preformed and pre-sized toe insert bodies. Similarly, the preferred use of the inserts involves providing initially quadrate bodies that are cut as necessary to provide inserts for the toes of particular shoes, and the pre-cut insert bodies are placed within the shoe toe regions. The memory foam preferably comprises heat-sensitive, viscoelastic polyurethane. Consequently, when the shoes are donned, the toe inserts are caused to deform under the conditions of temperature and pressure within the shoes so that the insert bodies substantially conform with at least some of the wearer's toes.
Other aspects and advantages of the present invention will be apparent from the following detailed description of the preferred embodiments and the accompanying drawing figures.
Preferred embodiments of the invention are described in detail below with reference to the attached drawing figures, wherein:
The drawing figures do not limit the present invention to the specific embodiments disclosed and described herein. The drawings are not necessarily to scale, emphasis instead being placed upon clearly illustrating the principles of the preferred embodiment.
Turning now to the drawings, the shoe insert 20 (see
In preferred forms, the shoe insert 20, as sold on a retail level, includes an open-ended fabric casing 28 for receiving the initial quadrate body 21 so as to present the appearance of a standard bed pillow. It is also contemplated that the body 21 and casing 28 be supported on a hang card 30 with a transparent blister-pack attachment 32 securing the body and casing in place. Of course, when it is desired to use the insert 20, it is removed from the packaging 30,32, and the initial body 21 is removed from the casing 28 (as illustrated in
The body 21 preferably comprises (and more preferably consists essentially of) memory foam material. Most preferably, the memory foam is a heat-sensitive, viscoelastic, closed-cell polyurethane material, operable to react to body heat and mold itself to a body part shape. Advantageously, the memory foam should have a density of from about one to five pounds and, more preferably, about three pounds, using industry standards for such foam densities.
In use with the shoe 34, the original quadrate body 21 is cut diagonally along line 38 (see
It will be appreciated that the body 20 may be cut with manual scissors or through the use of a utility knife or other suitable means. Furthermore, certain aspects of the present invention encompass a shoe insert comprising an insert body that is already dimensioned for use, so that no cutting or sizing by the user is required. In any case, the insert body 22 is inserted within shoe 34 and pressed forwardly as indicated by arrow 42 (
When the wearer dons shoe 34, the toes 46 of the wearer come into direct abutting contact with the toe-engaging surface 40 of body 22. The normal body temperature of the wearer, together with the sustained forces imposed on insert 22, cause the latter to closely conform with the wearer's toes, as illustrated by the undulating shape 48 assumed by the surface 40. It will be observed in this respect that the rear surface 40 of the insert 22 is substantially within the toe region 37 and in any case does not extend to a point where contact is made with the ball of the user's foot. In preferred forms, substantially the entirety of the insert 22 is positioned forwardly of the wearer's toes 46, and does not extend beneath the toes.
A principal aim of the invention is to provide increased comfort during shoe wear, by providing an improved viscoelastic shoe toe insert. For example, some activities involve use of "undersized" shoes and the insert can be used to provide comfort in these extreme conditions. One such example involves ski boots worn by competitive or performance skiers. Skiers will often wear ski boots that are as much as several sizes smaller than their normal size, and the insert will facilitate comfort of the toes during use.
Another preferred embodiment of the present invention is depicted in
The preferred forms of the invention described above are to be used as illustration only, and should not be utilized in a limiting sense in interpreting the scope of the present invention. Obvious modifications to the exemplary embodiments, as hereinabove set forth, could be readily made by those skilled in the art without departing from the spirit of the present invention.
The inventor hereby states her intent to rely on the Doctrine of Equivalents to determine and assess the reasonably fair scope of the present invention as pertains to any apparatus not materially departing from but outside the literal scope of the invention as set forth in the following claims.
