This community information site has been established to provide timely and relevant information following a breach of a containment pond at the Obed Mountain Mine.
On April 28, 2014, Westmoreland Coal Company ("Westmoreland") and Sherritt International Corporation ("Sherritt") concluded a sale transaction that had been planned since early 2013.
Westmoreland has acquired Sherritt's coal assets, including Coal Valley Resources Inc. ("CVRI"), which owns and operates Obed Mountain Mine ("Obed"). CVRI, under Westmoreland, will continue to own and operate Obed.
CVRI is currently working with expert consultants carrying out monitoring and remediation activities for the Obed release. While no longer the owner and operator of CVRI and Obed, Sherritt retains the ultimate responsibility for all commitments and obligations resulting from the release at Obed, including monitoring and remediation activities and addressing Aboriginal and community concerns, and is working closely with CVRI and Westmoreland on these issues.
All future updates will be issued by CVRI.
Operations at the Obed Mountain Mine were staged-down in November 2012 in response to low coal prices. There are currently no plans to resume active mining and processing operations.
Since November 2012, Obed has been undergoing reclamation to restore previously mined areas to permanent vegetation, lake development and forest . Reclamation is an ongoing process that all mines, including active sites, undertake as a normal and progressive component of their operations. As of December 31, 2013, approximately 644 hectares, or 34% of the total mine area, had been reclaimed and converted to permanent vegetation, lake development and forest.
Millennium EMS Solutions Ltd. has completed a review of available data and compiled a Human Health Risk Assessment (Version 3), which can be found in the Plans & Reports section.
- Sampling and monitoring have returned to spring/summer requirements, as outlined in the Long Term Sampling and Monitoring Plan for 2015.
- A Sediment Trap Evaluation Report was submitted on March 26 and is available here.
- Evaluation of the ice and flow conditions are being completed to identify when silt curtains should be deployed in approved sediment traps.
- The Final Impacts Report, submitted in May 2014, is being updated and will be resubmitted to the AER on May 15th.
- This report will include updated Fish Sampling and Monitoring, Impacts Assessment, Wildlife Mitigation, and Remediation plans.
- An updated Human Health Risk Assessment Report will also be submitted as part of this report. Based on data interpretation to date, adverse effects have not been indicated for the scenarios evaluated.
- Reporting documents continue to be posted on the Obed website on a weekly, monthly and quarterly basis. See reports: Plans & Reports and Data Collection.

The Thrill of the Hive: San Francisco Beekeeping
By Courtney Quirin, Bay Nature
Eye-level with the eucalyptus canopy of Golden Gate Park, Charlie Blevins stands on his San Francisco rooftop and begins to "suit up."
He slips on a white jacket, then pulls a spacesuit-like hood over his head that masks his face with a netted veil. A pair of thick, white gloves drawn on and Blevins is ready for "inspection." He gently pulls a honeycomb frame from the hive.
This is from one of 35 beehives that the San Franciscan beekeeper maintains in the backyards and rooftops of Bay Area properties. Is the queen laying eggs? Is the colony in tip-top shape? Are honey stores adequate? Blevins, a cheery and warm-hearted man in his late 50s, asks himself these questions as he checks each hive for signs of disease.
"You can tell a lot about the egg-laying pattern of the queen. If the queen is not laying, then the hive will die. Bees only live six weeks," said Blevins.
Honeybee populations are in deep trouble around the world, but in places like San Francisco, urban beekeepers are doing their part to restore the enterprising Apis to their crucial role as ecosystem pollinator. Urban beekeeping is an outgrowth of the local food movement, which has inspired countless farms in urban pockets and has stoked the dream of sustainable cities. Behind every urban beehive is the beekeeper.
In Part 1 of Bay Nature's mini-series on urban beekeeping, we meet Charlie Blevins, the president of the 180-member-strong San Francisco Beekeepers Association, and the harvester of a whopping 500 pounds of honey a year.
Read the complete story at Bay Nature.

text: Return to the main page [[UncannyValley here]].!!Examples* The NewWorldOfDarkness roleplaying game ''PrometheanTheCreated'' puts a different spin on the Uncanny Valley. The player characters are {{artificial human}}s, ranging from [[OurZombiesAreDifferent reanimated corpses]] to [[{{Golem}} magically animated statues]], who appear human through the [[PaperThinDisguise thinnest]] of [[{{Glamour}} supernatural veneers]]. {{Muggles}} can tell the difference on some deep, fundamental level, meaning that spending too much time around them is enough cause to haul out the TorchesAndPitchforks.* A similar effect happens to [[OurVampiresAreDifferent vampires]] in ''VampireTheRequiem''. As they get older and lose touch with their [[KarmaMeter Humanity]], it gets harder for them to interact nicely with mortals. They forget to do things like blink, breathe, vary their vocal inflections or send off the other signals that humans unconsciously do without thinking. Even if they do make an effort to do all these things, vampires that have lost enough Humanity will appear like walking, talking corpses:-->A Kindred with low Humanity can put great effort into acting like a living person. He can force himself to breathe and remind himself to blink now and then... but he can't fake that subtle, unconscious dance of nonverbal interaction. Mortals soon pick up on this. They cannot consciously spot the problem, but their instincts tell them that something is '''''very wrong''''' and they should '''''get away'''''.** The Nosferatu clan gets this ''all the time'', no matter how high their Humanity. Some of them look just plain ugly, but others might look perfectly normal... but when they interact with other people, they may carry about them the sterile scent of a hospital ward, or a gaze like they want to see what the other person's guts look like. They always carry the idea that there's something ''wrong'' directly centered on them. There's even an entire [[PrestigeClass bloodline]] devoted to inverting the curse by [[BloodBath bathing in blood]] to improve their appearance... and even then, it doesn't work, because they become ''too beautiful'' to be anything human.** This was also the case in the Old World of Darkness. A vampire had to spend blood in order to mimic a human, and the cost rose quickly with a falling humanity. Additionally, skin tones and monstrous features became more and more pronounced as a vampire forsook humanity, and alternate moral paths which abandoned humanity made vampires ''unable'' to spend blood to mimic human functions.* The HotChicks RPG doesn't address this so much in the game as it does with the artwork. The CG art instils the UncannyValley much of the time, that is when it doesn't fail to get that far with the fact that 2/3rds of the women's facial expressions look like they were modeled off blow-up dolls.* Elan in ''TableTopGame/DungeonsAndDragons'' have this. Their skin is too perfect, their hair too red. This is because they are [[HumanoidAbomination aberrations]] that merely look human. This also justifies their -2 Charisma.** Likewise, changelings in ''TableTopGame/{{Pathfinder}}'' (the HalfHumanHybrid offspring of [[WitchSpecies hags]]). They're AlwaysFemale and conventionally attractive, but their otherworldly demeanor and minor deformities (like heterochromia) make them disconcerting to be around, imposing a penalty to Charisma.** In both cases, expect actual real-life people to react with a FreakinessShame, or at least mock the blatant attempts at letting players play a SoBeautifulItsACurse character, while still MinMaxing for low Charisma.* "Uncanny Valley" is the name of a trait in ''EclipsePhase'' that can be taken in exchange for [[PointBuildSystem Customization Points]]. It means that your character's body (or "morph," in the game's lingo) is designed to look human (and not like a spider robot or an evolved monkey or something) and doesn't quite make the grade. It has the effect of giving a -10 penalty on all social interactions with humans.* ''TabletopGame/MagicTheGathering'''s Phyrexian race goes toward this, being [[NinjaPirateZombieRobot undead cyborgs]], but especially jarring is [[http://magiccards.info/nph/en/18.html Phyrexian Unlife]], which shows someone finding out that [[AssimilationPlot she(?)'s become a Phyrexian]].** According to the [[https://www.wizards.com/Magic/magazine/Article.aspx?x=mtg/daily/stf/137 fluff]], the [[ReligionOfEvil Machine]] [[LightIsNotGood Orthodoxy]] invokes this. When a captured prisoner is [[BodyHorror compleated]] their face is often left just intact enough that their former comrades can recognize them.** The card Fleshmad Steed's flavor text sums up this trope pretty well.--> ''More disturbing than the unknown is a distortion of the familiar.''* ''{{Mortasheen}}'' has the [[http://www.bogleech.com/mortasheen/lester.htm Lester,]] a monster designed to look like humans and infiltrate their societies. But, because of "some imperceptibly trivial flaw in the monsters camouflage," humans immediately recognize it as a fake.* ''TabletopGame/{{Warhammer 40000}}''** In-universe, Blanks, people who are born without a soul. While they look and act like completely regular people, other people are subconsciously aware of their lack of a soul, and the sheer unnaturalness of it causes them to instinctively hate and fear Blanks. Even if being a Blank makes you immune to the Warp, [[BlessedWithSuck it won't do much good when you get lynched by an angry mob]].** [[Characters/Warhammer40000Eldar The Eldar]], DependingOnTheWriter. Both official artwork and fan depictions have shown them looking [[http://i440.photobucket.com/albums/qq121/Tialys_bucket/1294545430058.jpg suitably]] [[http://i440.photobucket.com/albums/qq121/Tialys_bucket/1276797707676.jpg creepy]], and some as the typical [[http://i440.photobucket.com/albums/qq121/Tialys_bucket/1321016808917.jpg hauntingly]] [[http://i440.photobucket.com/albums/qq121/Tialys_bucket/1289959920169.jpg beautiful]] Tolkienesque elf.* This is effectively what gives away upgraded Manei Domini agents in ''TabletopGame/BattleTech''. They are cyborgs who have been given a variety of implants, most of which are subdermal in nature. In theory any one high-quality implant is largely hidden, as is the case for standard characters who may need them. Too many, however, and they become subtly inhuman--agents with subdermal armor or strength enhancers have bodies that look more like a Rob Liefeld drawing than anything human, while agents with secret bio-weapon upgrades have odd patterns of head movement and speech because the location of the implants in their throats and mouths makes them sound 'off.' The tabletop roleplaying game ''Mechwarrior'' reflects this by forcing such affected characters to take unavoidable flaws that reduce their Charisma rating and make it harder to interact with others. This is helped by the fact that Manei Domini tend not to be the sanest of individuals to begin with, and all the cybernetic implants they receive [[CyberneticsEatYourSoul frequently cause further]] SanitySlippage.----

For large-scale media enterprise, post-production houses, and educational institutions, Avid now offers floating licensing, enabling you to purchase "packs" of shared licenses to deploy across your entire facility using a single system ID. This enables multiple editors to use Media Composer® simultaneously on any number of workstations when licenses are available (not actively in use). Once you close your Media Composer application, the license is automatically returned to the pool of available licenses on the licensing server.
Enjoy easy set-up and administration
Your Media Composer floating license pack purchase comes with easy-to-use Avid Floating License Server software, which enables you to distribute licenses quickly and easily across your facility—on demand—from a single, centralized server. You can install the server software on any standard Windows-based computer (see the minimum system requirements below)—simply enter your licensing server address into Media Composer during installation and the rest of the process is automatic.
Once installed, you can access the floating license server from any Windows- or Mac-based client system, making administration and management easy—and super convenient when you're physically not in the facility. And when using a disk image to install multiple Media Composer seats across a facility, simply entering the server address once in the image means the licensing process is completely transparent to end users.
Get flexible license access
To obtain a floating license, simply open Media Composer on your network-connected computer, and the software automatically connects to your licensing server and issues an available license in the background. In addition—similar to a library—floating licenses can be "checked out" to individual machines, such as a laptop, when you, an editor, or student needs to work off site or at home. Your administrator simply grants these privileges to the requestor, along with an expiration date. This makes it easy to add freelancers or students on a per-project basis, and have the granted licenses automatically returned at the end of the project.
Save time and money. By incorporating floating licensing, you can:

This place is cool , not a big verity of dinners. This place is more of a breakfast and lunch.. Great menu on that.. Good spot for family and kids..
3 Days in Los Angeles
The Best of LA, on a Budget
One Day in Los Angeles
Haven't been here in years. Still the wonderful selections and great preparation. Love the breakfast choices with flavorful touches. Service friendly and efficient. Ambience so fun. We did not eat outside. Usually this would have been the choice. Easy to recommend.
Had the Thai Cobb salad and was pleasantly surprised! Quick seating, good service, and good food. Avoid the restroom, however. The one place that needed better servicing.
What a wonderful find! After a day visiting Griffith Observatory we followed a friends recommendation and continued down Vermont to find Fred 62. The 6 of us just loved the funky 60s atmosphere. But what was the best was the varied and delish menu. Something for everyone. And we ate a little bit of everything on their "comfort Diner food"...
Food was decent, sat outside. This is an old classic spot in Los Feliz. Lots of character (not to mention characters!). This is a great neighborhood for strolling around and a nice place to chill.
Fred 62 became by go to breakfast place when I stayed in Los Feliz. It has a great energy and a big menu. I went for the pancakes and waffles most times I visited and they were both tasty. They also have a special lemonade each day. I tried raspberry and mango!
Fred 62 is a small diner on the corner of a busy street in Silverlake. The menu is huge, the staff are pretty miserable (what you'd expect from a 24/7) and in the evening prepare to share the sidewalk seating with a lot of cockroaches.

We had a lot of milkshakes in California, and a lot of good ones at that, but Fred 62 had to be the absolute best! Located in Los Feliz - a totally brilliant area. Make sure you visit!

On Sin Row, the cops are more bent than the criminals…
Getting sexual favours from rent boys on Sin Row is a perk of the job for corrupt cop Blake Astor and his partner Ronnie Kemp.
When Io Spencer appears on the scene, though, Blake's seldom-troubled heart gets involved.
When things escalate out of control, is he prepared to risk everything for Io?
Reader Advisory: This hard hitting book has sex scenes that some may consider contain dubious consent. The are also scenes of double penetration and ménage à trois.
On his way to work, Officer Blake Astor encountered a robbery at the gas station. Some lawless hoods intimidating the frightened attendant with baseball bats. Blake drew his gun from the glove box and saw them off. He squeezed off several shots as they ran down the road. Satisfied, he tucked the gun into his waist, then drove away without paying for his gas, waving at the attendant. Such was the society he lived in.
It was dog-eat-dog in this city, where the cops were as bent as the criminals and Blake took advantage where he could. The only way to survive was to look out for number one. And Blake did. His fondness for sex just edged his fondness for money.
Everyone did what they could to make their way in this nightmarish, post-apocalyptic world of 2021. Just below the Canadian border, the city of Machan stood in ruins, sinister remains of shelled buildings looming over it. Black market trade was rife, the most common commodities going for hugely inflated prices. Blake pitied the children born into this festering hellhole. If he could escape, he would. But it would only be to run to somewhere equally devastated.
He nodded at several hustlers with whom he'd exchanged bodily fluids as he cruised down . Blake's philosophy was simple when it came to arresting people. If you had something he wanted, he would take it in exchange for letting you go. Some of these boys were very proficient at their jobs and he considered it a fair exchange. If you made him happy, he made you happy.
He had his mind on yesterday's whore when he left , turned into Police Plaza and parked. The curiously named Io Spencer who had sucked Blake all the way to heaven and then some in the interrogation room the previous afternoon. A smart-mouthed little hooker who'd done it with relish.
Blake trotted up the steps into the building, nodding at the desk sergeant. Down the corridor in the locker room, his partner, Ronnie Kemp, greeted him. Ronnie and Blake made a good team, for Ronnie was as keen as Blake to milk the benefits of being a cop. He was clearly keen on Blake too. Blake was kind of interested. Ronnie was a six-foot tall hard-body with blue eyes and blond hair, and Blake would have been blind not to notice.
"Night shift picked up Io Spencer again this morning," Ronnie told him. "Thought you might like to know."
A lascivious thrill snaked down Blake's spine and settled in his pants, hardening him. "I'll deal with him personally."
"Thought you might."
Blake shut his locker and glanced at himself in the mirror on the wall. His palms were oddly damp. He smirked at Ronnie and left the room.
The interrogation room in which Io Spencer had been placed was the one without the two-way mirror. Blake was kinky but even he didn't want an audience. It contained a table and two chairs and there was wire mesh over the window. Blake pushed the door open, closed and locked it.
A dark-haired man lounged in the chair, arms folded. He turned his head. "Ah, Officer Astor. I've been waiting for you."
Blake strode forward. "You have?"
"Yes. I got the feeling you'd want to see me again."
Blake didn't like that. Had it been so obvious to this man how much he'd enjoyed it last time?
Posted May 5, 2012
If you're looking for a quick enjoyable read, this is it. I really liked this one, the overview pretty much says it all, bent cops working in the part of town known as Sin Row, where Sin lurks on every corner. Blake is one of those cops who gives in to the temptations around him, and Io is one of those temptations he can't seem to shake. I would happily recommend to everyone! I would love to have more of these characters:)

"Abigail and John Templeton are the 12-year-old fraternal twins, children of an engineer whose fame leads to their eventual kidnapping. Will the children's use of intellect, invention, and problem solving get them and their ridiculous pooch out of the scary situation? This is a great book for kids who love puzzles and humor, and the twins steal the show with their use of sarcasm and wit."
-- Halley Pucker, Boswell Book Company, Milwaukee, WI
Suppose there were 12-year-old twins, a boy and girl named John and Abigail Templeton. Let's say John was pragmatic and played the drums, and Abigail was theoretical and solved cryptic crosswords. Now suppose their father was a brilliant, if sometimes confused, inventor. And suppose that another set of twins adults named Dean D. Dean and Dan D. Dean, kidnapped the Templeton twins and their ridiculous dog in order to get their father to turn over one of his genius (sort of) inventions. Yes, I said kidnapped. Wouldn't it be fun to read about that? Oh please. It would so. Luckily for you, this is just the first in a series perfect for boys and girls who are smart, clever, and funny (just like the twins), and enjoy reading adventurous stories (who doesn't? ).
About the AuthorEllis Weiner is a contributor to the New Yorker and a regular blogger for the Huffington Post. He is also the author of several books, including Yiddish with Dick and Jane, which he co-authored with his wife. He lives in southern California.
Ellis Weiner was an editor for Spy magazine and National Lampoon. He has also written a lot of funny books for grown-ups. The Templeton Twins are his first books for children.

The Big Ticket has always been an intense dude, but recently he has come across as even more high strung. Celtics assistant coach Tyronn Lue did not look pleased to be getting a bath while trying to enjoy the game from his court side seats, but Ray Allen found it pretty funny.

We previously owned knife holders which featured magnetic bars glued onto a wooden frame. These did NOT hold up over time and eventually the bars came unglued and would come with the knife when you pulled the knife off the rack. These Henckels knife holders appear to be much sturdier. Time will tell!
-easy to install (instaled over tile backsplash)
-magnets are strong
-attractive enough
-good value compared with similar products
-no interesting/ stylish features (except for the finish, which I like)
With only three drawers in a kitchen and limited cupboard space in a kitchen, I have to be creative in finding and/or creating storage opportunities.
I really hated keeping knives in a drawer, but had no alternative until the day I remembered there were magnetic knife holders on the market. Thus my search began, and I found the perfect holder here at Cooking.com. It's hanging on the wall above the kitchen sink within easy reach whenever a knife is needed. My husband is equally thrilled with our new kitchen gadget.
Would I recommend this magnetic knife holder and Cooking.com as an amazing resource? Absolutely!!
very stylish; strong enough to hold the heaviest knives in our kitchen and also utensils; we had to shorten the knife holder due to our small cabinets, but it was very easy to do. After receiving the first one, we bought another one right away!
4.5 out of 5 stars, based on 57 ratings
100% of reviewers recommend this product
100% say this is a "good value"
This is my first magnetic knife holder and it works well once up. I have some reservations about the mounting bracket and would prefer a system with screws through the holder instead of a bracket.
This is just what I wanted and it works
I tried to mount this vertically (so the knives are horizontal) and it didnt' work very well. If I don't put the handles of my knives right next to the holder they tend to rotate so the handle faces down.
Good product, but it should be mounted horizontally so the knives hang down from it.
Absolutely an EXCELLENT product. Good value, quality, and look. The magnetic strength is the best I've found so far. I'm in the process of remodeling my kitchen and will definitely be back for 1 or 2 more!
Mounting this was the only drawback, could be better..
Unique mounting system. Works quite well. Keeps knives orderly and safe.
This is the third one that I have purchcased. The other two are on the wall behind my kitchen sink. They do an excellent job holding my knives and allow me to take one more thing off the kitchen counter. The magnets are strong enough to hold two cleavers with no problem. It was a little difficult to hold a carving fork, however.
The Aluminum Magnetic Knife Holder by Henckels
has a very strong magnetic hold, much more than other knife holders that I have owned. The look is very modern and streamlined.
This knife block seems stronger than my other one though it rocks slightly when removing a knife.

865 Tasting Notes
This is another sample I finished off today :) I really enjoy silver needle teas. This tea has a nice sweetness to it. A touch of honey, apple, and hay. A bit weak but still enjoyable.
I'm not even sure where I got this tea from. I don't remember ever buying it… So thank you to whoever I got it from! The aroma of this tea is sweet and peachy. It has a nice flavor. It's very light. It has a sweet peach/apricot flavor that kind of blends with the sweetness of the white tea. It's good but I don't think I'd ever order it.
This tea is always super yummy! I feel like it makes a good breakfast tea because melon always reminds me of brunch. The flavors are spot on and the white tea base adds a nice sweet note.
It's raining! I love the rain :) First tea of the day. This is a nice one. It's refreshing, crisp, and smooth. The flavor is just the right amount of minty. It's mostly spearmint. The citrus kind of gets lost but is mostly in the aftertaste. It's very light but blends with the mint.

Rap Works the Late Shift
New TV host Jimmy Fallon breaks ground with a hip-hop house band
When comedian Jimmy Fallon takes over the late-night TV slot that Conan O'Brien filled for 16 years, he will arrive as an underdog, untested in the format and facing a field of entrenched talk shows. But the former "Saturday Night Live" star steps onto the NBC stage March 2 with at least one thing his competitors lack: a house band whose popularity rivals the host's.
Backing Mr. Fallon will be the Roots, a Grammy-winning hip-hop act with a reputation as one of the tightest and most versatile bands in pop music. They come with a deep network of famous friends, from rapper Jay-Z to rocker Dave Matthews, as well as a fan-base built up since 1993, when the group first broke out of Philadelphia.
All this qualifies the Roots for a day job as "a human karaoke machine," says drummer and founding member Ahmir Thompson, who goes by the name ?uestlove. "That's what we come from. It goes back to the days when we used to busk on the street," he says.
The longevity of the Roots' new gig, of course, will be tied to the fate of Mr. Fallon. But if his show survives, the Roots could rattle the musical paradigm of late night. In a field where house bands seem to exist only on screen, the Roots will be dialing back an international road career that has consisted of some 150 concerts a year.
The biggest shift could be a cultural one. Since Steve Allen first shaped the format in the 1950s with "The Tonight Show," late night's default repertoire has been the American Songbook. In the 1980s, Paul Shaffer updated that sound with blasts of rock and roll on David Letterman's show, and in the early 1990s, jazz star Branford Marsalis accompanied Jay Leno's debut. The Roots, however, will be the first network late-night band that's steeped in hip-hop. "The show's going to be a marriage of two worlds that never have necessarily met before," says Roots rapper and singer Black Thought, born Tariq Trotter.
Yet the Roots weren't hired as a rap act. Mr. Fallon says he was looking for "a band with personality, a band with talent, a band that can play with anyone from Tony Bennett to Jay-Z."
Night Music
Cleto Escobedo III, ABC's 'Jimmy Kimmel Live'
A childhood friend of Mr. Kimmel's, the saxophonist leads a group of veteran session players. The Cletones play with a jazz swing, but can flip to AC/DC when it's called for.
Kevin Eubanks, NBC's 'The Tonight Show With Jay Leno'
This guitarist, who is expected to transition to a 10 p.m. time slot with Mr. Leno this fall, leads frequent jam sessions at the Baked Potato, a nightclub near the "Tonight Show" studio.
Joe Firstman, NBC's 'Last Call With Carson Daly'
The L.A. singer-songwriter, who went full time in 2006 when Mr. Daly stopped rotating house bands, tailors his sound to visiting musicians and their fans in the audience. "I really sniff out the guests," he says.
Paul Shaffer, CBS's 'Late Night With David Letterman'
Mr. Letterman's puckish sidekick rarely does solo concerts since starting a family in the early 1990s, but he's been music director for Rock and Roll Hall of Fame induction ceremonies since their inception.
Max Weinberg, NBC's 'The Tonight Show With Conan O'Brien' (Starting June 1)
He has taken breaks from TV to tour with Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band, but this smiley drummer was out of work when Mr. O'Brien hired him in 1993. "It saved my life," he says.
Last week, at a rehearsal in a Manhattan recording studio, Mr. Trotter gripped a microphone and scatted through the Roots' theme song to "Late Night With Jimmy Fallon." The eight-piece band, which includes a sousaphone player and an electric guitarist, chewed through a rock riff that finished with a syncopated jazz breakdown.
Just as important as their musical chops: acting as Mr. Fallon's comic foil. From Johnny Carson's ribbing of Doc Severinsen to Jay Leno playfully accusing guitarist Kevin Eubanks of smoking marijuana, the rapport between a host and his band is key. Max Weinberg, the bandleader who will move to "The Tonight Show" with Conan O'Brien, says he learned how to be funny on the job. "I approached it like the drums -- there's a rhythm to it," says Mr. Weinberg, who's known for greeting Mr. O'Brien's jokes with a deadpan stare. His biggest contribution to the show's humor has been doing anything the writers ask of him, including strolling through Rockefeller Center in a G-string.
In the days before his final show in New York last week, Mr. Weinberg ran into Mr. Thompson in an NBC hallway, where he briefed his successor on everything from the hand signals used on set to how to stretch his repertoire. The Max Weinberg 7 went on the air in 1993 with just 10 songs; now it has some 400 original tunes and several thousand short numbers to play as guests walk on the set.
The Roots are credited with bringing musicianship to rap, but their recordings have not been the genre's top sellers. So the band has toured relentlessly -- spending about two out of three days each year on the road -- to maintain their income flow. A TV job makes it economically feasible to slow down. The Roots plan to tour when the show is on hiatus. While taping Monday through Friday, the band will make weekend sorties around the Northeast. They will also take advantage of their New York presence with a weekly show at the Highline Ballroom and a DJ residency for Mr. Thompson at Le Poisson Rouge.
TV Listings
- Find television listings at LocateTV.
As the band embraces the trappings of television, they're holding back on another front: Most band members are staying in Philadelphia, choosing instead to commute to work, more than an hour each way by train. Mr. Trotter says. "I want to make sure that this is something that has some permanence."

This application claims priority under 35 U.S.C. 119(e)(1) based on Applicants Provisional U.S. Patent Application Ser. No. 60/417,274 filed Oct. 9, 2002 and titled "FOOT REST STRUCTURE".
1. Field
This invention concerns a unique foot rest structure for use with restraining seats for use in automotive vehicles for comforting infants and children while traveling. The structure can be a stand alone design to work in cooperation with a conventional child's restraining seat, or portions of the structure such as the base can be incorporated into the conventional restraining seat as manufactured.
2. Prior Art
Applicant is unaware of any prior art which is relevant to the present invention.
A foot rest structure for use with a child's restraining seat which is adapted to rest on a seat of an automobile, truck or other type vehicle, wherein the foot rest structure has a platform adapted to be positioned in front of the restraining seat and on which the child's feet can rest, wherein mounting means is provided for mounting the platform in engagement with the restraining seat and wherein, in one preferred embodiment, the mounting means provides for vertical (and angular if desired) position adjustment for the platform relative to the strapped in position of the restraining seat.
The invention will be further understood from the following description and drawings wherein the figures are not intended to be to scale or in actual proportions, and wherein:
Referring to the drawings and with particular reference to the claims herein, the present invention in one of its preferred embodiments comprises as a foot rest structure generally designated 10, preferably of strong plastic such as PVC, structural butyrate, polypropylene or the like and including reinforced fabric or foamed polymer such as polyurethane or the like, for a child's restraining seat 12 and comprising base means 14 adapted to be positioned under the floor 16 of the restraining seat or to be an integral part of the restraining seat as manufactured and having an automobile seat contact plane 18, first stop or shoulder means 20 on a forward position of said base means, platform means 24 having a foot support portion 26 and a pair of position adjusting leg portions 28 each having an adjustment slot 30 and second stop or shoulder means 29 adapted to be nested with said first stop or shoulder means 20, said foot support portion 26 being disposed at a generally right angle to said portions 28, and clamping means generally designated 32 for maintaining the position of said platform means relative to said plane 18 by forcing 20 and 29 into nesting contact once the height adjustment has been made.

This base may be an integral part of the restraining seat and formed, for example, as the floor of a conventional restraining seat during its manufacture. The sides or lips 34 of the base should be approximately one inch high to rigidify the platform means 24 which is adapted to rest under the restraining seat and be maintained in position thereby when the restraining seat is strapped down to the auto seat 35 by the seat belt 36. These lips also function as a guard or basin for spilled food or liquid. Enlarged ends 38 of sides 34 provide structural support for first stop 20 to allow the adjustable platform structure 24 to be moved readily up and down and tightened into place for travel.
The second segment is the platform means 24 which can be adjusted in height to the child's needs as the child grows. It consists of the foot support 26 approximately eighteen inches wide, four inches deep and one inch thick, and is integrally formed with legs 28 having center slots 30 for adjusting up and down. These legs, e.g., 12 in. long, and ends 38 have mating or nesting grooves or shoulders 20, 29 or the like as shown in
The third and forth segments preferably are cog type bolts or equivalent tightening means which allow the platform 24 to be tightened to base 14.
Referring to
Variations of the above structure may of course be made by those skilled in the art without departing from the spirit or scope of the present invention.
