Causation, Economic Efficiency and the Law of Torts
In standard models dealing with liability rules, generally, the proportion of accident loss a party is required to bear does not depend upon the 'causation' - the extent to which the care or lack of care on the part of the party contributed to the loss. As a matter of legal doctrine, this specification of the liability rules is said to be incorrect. The efficiency analysis incorporating the causation requirement of law of Torts, whenever undertaken, is largely restricted only to the rule of negligence. One of the aims of this paper is to provide an efficiency characterization of the entire class of liability rules when the `causation' requirement of the law is taken into account. We demonstrate that the contradiction between causation doctrine of the law, on the one hand, and economic efficiency, on the other, is not as wide and intense as it is believed to be.

José Andrés' Caprese Sandwich
Spanish chef José Andrés understands the meaning of "irresistibly fresh." His Caprese Sandwich calls for only the season's freshest ingredients — basil, olive oil, tomatoes, and mozzarella cheese — all wedged between rustic bread and then grilled up in a skillet.
Level: Moderate
Yield: 1 sandwich
Advertisement - Continue Reading Below
- 1 handful baby heirloom tomatoes
- 2 tbsp. olive oil
- salt
- Pepper
- 2 tbsp. sun-dried tomato pesto
- 2 slice rustic bread
- 2 oz. fresh mozzarella
- A few small leaves of fresh basil
- Cut the tomatoes in half and toss with a bit of olive oil. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Set aside.
- Spread the pesto on each slice of bread. Place mozzarella in between the bread, with the pesto on the inside.
- Lightly oil and heat a skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the sandwich until it's golden brown and the cheese is melted. Remove from heat and top with the baby tomatoes and basil.

Black Bean & Sweet Potato Dip
We're coming up on the spring time of the year when sweet potatoes go on sale for a short window of time, dredging up memories of autumn that have been all but covered by mounds of snow. And these same awesome sweet potatoes remind us that the beauty of spring is here to revive us again. Therefore, it seemed appropriate to use baked sweet potatoes in an enchilada-inspired … [Read more...]
Thai Chicken Bake

I put together a Chicken Pineapple Curry that you cook on the stovetop, and decided a similar baked version was in … [Read more...]
Lemon Steamed Broccoli ~ An Easter Side Dish
If you're planning on having broccoli at your Easter dinner, I beg of you to make it like this. All you need (besides the broccoli!) is 2 lemons. It'll work with 1 lemon, but 2 is just right. It's super simple...you squeeze some of the lemon into the water that will steam the broccoli. Then you add zest from the lemons in with the broccoli heads while it's steaming. It's … [Read more...]
Potato Pancake with "Refried" Beans {Vegetarian}
Many years ago, on my first trip to Europe, my in-laws took me to a restaurant built around potatoes. Everything had potatoes. That one experience opened my eyes to what potatoes can do. And I've since experimented, but never as much as I wished. Potato pancakes are such an easy workhorse. You can put almost anything sweet or savory on top of them. If you're looking for … [Read more...]

Free Ground Shipping to domestic customers in US for orders over $250. Discount applied automatically at checkout
So this past Sunday, Monif C. held a customer appreciation champagne luncheon for the 40 customers that are our biggest supporters. These women consistently support the Monif C. brand and some of them have more Monif C. clothing than me! It's important to us to acknowledge and show our appreciation for those that help our little engine that could , so we had a fantastic luncheon for them on Sunday.
The luncheon was catered by a fantastic caterer out of Pennsylvania (if you are looking for a fantastic caterer that specializes in Caribbean food, email me)…add in too much champagne (and a late run for Cranberry & Vodka), red velvet cake, and shopping, and what more can you ask for!
We were so happy with the turnout…many of our customers are not even in the New York area, but you all traveled to come lunch with me, so I appreciate that!
I would like to thank my father, Duane, Brandon, Rachel, and Doris (the A team) for coming in and getting everything together! Also, thanks to Tara Taylor, makeup, and David Paul, photographer.
For those that were invited and could not come, email me, I have a special gift for you…
In the meantime, check out some of my favorite pictures from the luncheon:
Preston Bailey, eat your heart out
my expressions are a mess…
Hey Deb!
Brandon, you are really enjoying that food huh?
Lisa & Mia
Me in the "Malinda" Crystal Beaded Chiffon Dress – Dusty Purple and Shantell in the Nikki Little Leopard Dress…now those are some hot plus size dresses!
Red Velvet Cake – Thanks Make My Cake!
did everyone have enough food, drinks, and shopping??? say cheese!
Thanks to all the customers that came and couldn't come, we appreciate you!
Let me tell you all a story about Honey. Honey is my first child, and she hails from good ole Astoria, Queens.
So this story starts with Rachel…
Rachel, my trusty assistant, calls me back in March 2008 and tells me that she's taken in this stray cat that would be perfect for me… Rachel knew that at the time I lived alone and probably needed companionship. Although I was a bit weary about taking in a pet given my schedule, I couldn't bear the idea of Rachel putting her back on the street, so I reluctantly said yes.
Now, I am a firm believer in everything happens for a reason, and wouldn't you know that the day I took Honey in, my family's cat Frisky that we had since I was 11 years old passed away…the same exact day…so I guess you could say Honey helped us all with the loss.
Honey circa March 2008…she had an attitude even back then…
So March becomes April, April becomes May, May becomes June…and one day I wake up to find this:
ummmm…the joke's on me! the little harlot was preggers the whole time…hip hip hooray for me! I guess this is how mothers feel when their teenage daughter comes home and says they are pregnant…
So again in the spirit of everything happens for a reason, Honey (with my assistance) nursed and raised these kids for 10 weeks before we found homes for all 4…my parents got 2 of them and coworkers of Rachel's, one with 2 kids, took the other 2. I was happy Honey could provide companions for more families. It was truly a blessing.
BUT NOW, this damn Honey is driving me UP A WALL…so she starts this little game called peeing-all-over-Monif's-white-couch…I don't know about her, but I am not enjoying this game. At first she actually was peeing on everything, the couch, dirty laundry, everything…After doing some research, I realized she is probably in heat because she hadn't been spade since the kids were born. So I promptly took her for a visit to the snippy-snip doctor.
But NOW, she's STILL peeing! I need help people…she doesn't do it often, but once every 2 weeks, I find her "remnants" on my couch…no where else but the couch. So needless to say my white couch is toast…I am hoping someone reading this is a veterinarian or cat lover and can give me some advice…
Here she is after her trying to run away from my water spray bottle after her most recent incident…
I took a picture of the pee, but I don't want to gross anyone out…I don't know why i took it…maybe it's cause when I put her out and the ASPCA comes back to arrest me, I'll have proof in pictures……
But I need help people, i am at my wit's end…can someone email me with some advice PLEASE… monif (at) monifc.com… im desperate…
In the meantime, I'll try my mother's suggestion of turning over my couch, putting plastic bags all over it and lining it with orange peels (apparently they hate citris)…this should be fun, I feel like I'm doing a vampire ritual or something…
Hey Everybody, we got an early shipment of the "Olivia" Sequins Party Dress in. If you are looking for that perfect holiday dress, you've found it.
Don't wait! Stock is limited!
Click picture to purchase…
Pictures from this past weekend's customer event are coming hopefully by tomorrow. Until then…adios!
TGIF – Thank Goodness it's Friday (for the uninitiated )…I have a big Customer Appreciation event this weekend for our top customers, so I'll have lots of pictures for you all next week.
In the meantime, did you know Monif C. can also be found on myspace, facebook, and twitter? I don't know how I am going to keep up with all of this, but make sure you friend me on all those networks. The links are below. In the meantime, have a fantastic weekend, and don't do anything I wouldn't do…which doesn't leave you with many restrictions, so go for it!
Until Monday, be safe and be grateful!
Today is short and sweet:
Christian Louboutin Forever Tina Boots
Monif C. Plus Sizes Marilyn Convertible Dress – Black
Accepting donations at the NYC boutique… i'll be waiting patiently.

"As power relationships slowly change, sexist images are challenged, and women's voices are heard, perhaps we can hope that, even if we haven't yet stopped the sexist violence, it goes unacknowledged and unpunished a little less often. A small victory, but a critical one."

Starting now and for years to come, many Georgians are going to see increases every month in their electricity and natural gas bills.
Key aspirants to the GOP presidential nomination must put aside differences and work together as a cohesive team following the lead of an agreed principal spokesperson and message coordinator if the party hopes to take over at least the House with a long shot at the Senate next year. After 2010, they can square off in the battle for the nomination.
I am having an identity crisis.
As President Barack Obama wrestles with the request of more troops by his chief commander in Afghanistan, it presents an opportune moment to consider our continued presence there. A presence, which I believe takes away far too many of our young people.
The telephone book was once a familiar part of everyone's household. Some of the directories were big enough and heavy enough to be used as doorstoppers, but everybody would use them at some point to look up a neighbor's number or just check to make sure the phone company had listed their own name and address correctly.
When I couldn't reach my brother's home in New Jersey, (I had the wrong area code) I dialed his cell phone. He picked up on the first ring with, "Hey, Joan. Is everything OK?"
Although I deeply cherish the American freedom of speech as found in our unique Constitution, I worry about the lack of civility that has become widespread recently throughout the country.
A young man asked recently if I would write a letter on his behalf, recommending him to the University of Georgia. That was an easy request. The lad is as bright as a newly-minted penny and I have no doubts that if UGA remains his first choice, he will excel there as he has done in one of the more academically-demanding private schools in our state.
If you own a computer and have access to the Internet, odds are you have a guilty pleasure or two. No, I'm not talking about online porn or gambling sites. I'm talking about Web sites that have nothing to do with work or school, sites that you bookmark and visit often, maybe too often.
My mother was a conservative, the kind that would make John McCain look like a raging left-wing liberal.
One of the themes underlying this year's waves of political protests - whether anti-tax, anti-Obama, anti-health care reform, whatever - is that government in all its forms should be abolished.
Far too much on both sides of the aisle has been made of S.C. Rep. Joe Wilson's intemperate outburst at the joint session of Congress. As he should have, he apologized to the president. As he shouldn't have, he refused to apologize to Congress for violating its rules. He could have prevented the furor by telling the House he overreacted and was sorry for that.
I don't know how Jimmy Carter can look himself in the mirror. He has made hypocrisy an art form.
When Republicans gained control of the Georgia House after the 2004 elections, the party leadership saw a political issue they were sure would be a winner: sex offenders.

This is what's happening in California as the state tries to cope with a record-breaking drought that is now in its fourth year.
Dr. Michael Adams, former president of the University of Georgia, has announced he is returning to Pepperdine University, in the wilds of Malibu, Calif., to become chancellor Aug. 1. He had once been that institution's vice president of university affairs.
You won't often see so many history-making events crammed into such a small period of time, but that was the case last week with three huge stories breaking in a little less than 30 hours - a bonanza for those of us who work in the news industry.
Five young men, ages 18 to 23. Two college graduates. Two currently attending college. The youngest headed that way this fall. All good students. All excellent athletes. All standing resolutely before a large assemblage to pay tribute to their grandfather, Rob Neely, who passed away recently after a courageous battle with cancer. And what a tribute it was.
It's as if we stepped into a time machine and went 15 years back into the past.
Speaking ill of the dead and their grieving relatives is something that those of us with any social graces tend to avoid. We take the higher road out of respect for those who have passed, no matter how much we may have disliked them or how vile they may have been, primarily because they no longer are able to defend themselves, at least in public.

Tigers v Giants: Teams
At the Jungle, Saturday February 19, KO: 6pm, live on Sky Sports HD2/2
Last Updated: 18/02/11 6:08pm
Familiar foe: Aspinwall in action during his Huddersfield days
Martin Aspinwall is set to make his Castleford Tigers debut against former employers Huddersfield Giants at the Jungle on Saturday.
"He's pretty new to the forwards, although he did a pretty good job for Huddersfield, where he put quite bit of weight on."
Terry Matterson on Martin Aspinwall Quotes of the week
Winger-turned-forward Aspinwall was held out of last week's Millennium Magic victory over Wakefield Wildcats to allow him extra time to recover from a shoulder operation.
He gets his chance in the only change to the Tigers' 19-man squad as a replacement for the suspended Steve Snitch.
"He (Aspinwall) was probably just a little bit short of being right for last week so we gave him an extra week," explained Castleford head coach Terry Matterson, who is happy with the player's switch to the pack.
"He's pretty new to the forwards, although he did a pretty good job for Huddersfield, where he put quite bit of weight on."
Matterson is expecting Huddersfield to provide a stern test and picked out hooker Shaun Lunt as a particular threat.
"I was really pleased with some of the things we did last week but we've identified a couple of areas where we need to improve," he added.
"I was disappointed with our goal-line defence and, with Shaun Lunt scooting out of dummy half, that's something we need to look at."
Castleford academy graduates Joe Arundel, Oliver Holmes, Adam Milner and Jonathan Walker - all still under 21 - retain their places, while 17-year-old hooker Daryl Clark is included for the first time.
But Richard Owen, Ryan McGoldrick and new signing Nick Fozzard all remain sidelined by injury.
The Giants have named the same 19-man squad that was on duty for the season-opening win over Warrington in Cardiff last week.
There is no place for new arrival Dale Ferguson, who joined from Wakefield earlier in the week.
Coach Nathan Brown saw his side start their campaign in impressive fashion but insists there is still plenty of room for improvement.
He said: "We've got to improve and back up some of the stuff we did on the weekend and we have to be mentally and physically ready to come to the party this week and challenge Castleford in that area.
"We are quite aware of how threatening Castleford are, they are one of the more unpredictable and better attacking sides in Super League. If you give them a bit of slack they can be a very dangerous team."
Castleford squad: Mathers, Dixon, Youngquest, Arundel, Chase, Orr, Jackson, Hudson, Huby, Emmitt, Ferres, Jones, Walker, Milner, Isa, Fozzard, Aspinwall, Holmes, Widders
Huddersfield squad: Grix, Lawrence, Cudjoe, Gilmour, Hodgson, Brown, Brough, Crabtree, D. Griffin, O'Donnell, Fa'alogo, Faiumu, Lunt, Mason, Patrick, Horne, McGillvary, Carlile, Molloy

Dancing bear video clip of male stripper review at the local bar
Its a male stripper review at a bar that the dancing bear has been booked for and its pretty hardcore believe me! The room was packed with horny women eagerly waiting for the dancing bear and when the boys came out in their costumes, and the lights dimmed the girls literally competed with each other for the attention of our male strippers! Just what is it about a guy wearing a funny bear suit that send these women so wild!
Of course with a little alchohol in them the girls loosen up but these ladies are sure not unique, deep down all ladies love cock but they just dont get a chance to show it so when the only males in the room are completely naked and all the girls are fully clothed they have the power and feel free to behave however they wish and with their friends cheering them on the ladies let the horny slut in them loose! Sucking cock, giving handjobs, grabbing ass and much more, anything goes in this incredible dancing bear clip that has to be seen to be believed!

ZIAMANI:MUSLIM CONVERT JAILED FOR PLANNING LEE RIGBY STYLE ATTACKSOUTHWARK A teenage Muslim convert who was arrested on his way to behead a British soldier in a copycat Lee Rigby style terror attack was jailed for 22 years today (FRI). Brustholm Ziamani, 19, planned to emulate his heroes Michael Adebolajo and Michael Adebowale by decapitating a member of the armed forces and posing for a photograph with the severed head. His mission was foiled when an anti-terrorist officer spotted him in the street in east London carrying his 'toolkit for terror' - a 12-inch knife, a hammer and a black Islamic flag - in his rucksack. Ziamani, who wanted to install sharia law in the UK under the Islamic State of Ireland and Britain, was on police bail for suspected terror offences at the time.

Saheed Oyebanji Oyeneye, 35, Rasaq Omotunde, 38, and Oluwakemi Adesaogun, 38, set up scores of bogus online HMRC accounts to 'get rich quick' off the public purse. They adopted false identities, including details of sports personalities and dead children, in the fraud similar to the passport scam in the best selling novel 'The Day of the Jackal.' They received around £250,000 but had attempted to swindle £1m using the fake accounts to apply for VAT repayments.

Brustholm Ziamani, 19, planned to emulate his heroes Michael Adebolajo and Michael Adebowale by decapitating an army cadet and posing for a photograph with the severed head.

Ziamani, who wanted to install sharia law in the UK under the Islamic State of Ireland and Britain, was on police bail for suspected terror offences at the time. He was living with members of the banned extremist group Al Muhajiroun set up by Anjem Choudary and used his Facebook account to encourage friends to fight jihad.

Edgaras Narinkevicius, 32, was accused of ripping off the woman's underwear and raping her with two of his pals on January 23, 2006.

"Best medication for GERD on the market. It disappeared from South Africa in 2008 and I've had to take ranitidine since then. Ranitidine is not as effective and I would prefer to take Axid again but cannot get it."

Work on replacing the bolts on the Leadenhall Building, popularly known as the Cheesegrater, is set to escalate in cost with the steel contractor Severfield looking at a bill of as much as £6 million.
6-8 Bishopsgate and 150 Leadenhall Street form part of a small collection of quality Miesian slabs in the City of London that could soon be demolished if plans to build a new skyscraper on the site get the go-ahead.
One of the up and coming largest construction projects in London isn't the likes of Earl's Court or Stratford City but the renovation of the British Houses of Parliament, Palace of Westminster.
New plans have been revealed for the latest version of 22 Bishopsgate, formerly known as the Pinnacle.
Plans to convert the historic TFL headquarters of 55 Broadway near London's Victoria into residential apartments have been approved by Westminster Council.
Kampus, with a K, sounds rather German, but it's also a new £150 million pound development set to sit on the former Manchester Metropolitan University campus that's located off Aytoun Street.
Recently approved is the next phase of Goodmans Fields, a residential-led project on the fringe of the City of London near Aldgate.
The much criticised Lochailort Investments triple tower development named Swan Heights for the satellite town of Reading has been rejected by the local council on the recommendation of planning officers.
Renovation work is now getting into full swing following the strip out of St George's House, perhaps better known as the former Nestle Headquarters in central Croydon.
Shoreditch could soon be set for another skyscraper if plans go ahead to construct a 156 metre tall tower on 13-14 Appold Street.
Squire and Partners has designed a proposal for the redevelopment of the gas holders next to Battersea Power Station that if approved will see development rising up to 26-storeys in height.
New London Architecture has finally unveiled its new model of developing London at the Building Centre.

Questions Of Cash: Always read the small print on interest rates
Saturday 21 May 2011
Q. I am receiving a paltry rate of interest on my Santander "Easy Isa". Last year, I received just £22.34 interest, compared to £373.79 the year before. I should have been notified of this reduction in interest rate: I would have switched to obtain a better interest rate. ZG, Leicester.
A. A spokeswoman for Santander says: "We were sorry to hear that [the reader] was unhappy with the interest rate applied to her Isa. We can confirm the interest applied is correct and in her statement mailing in 2009 and 2010 we enclosed a booklet advising [the reader] of our current and previous Easy Isa interest rates. Due to global market conditions interest rates have been falling on savings. The reader's account has a variable interest rate and is subject to change. Rates on our savings accounts are available via Santander UK's website, branch literature or by telephone."
We had several complaints last year about Isa interest rate cuts applied by Santander and its then subsidiaries Alliance & Leicester and Abbey. Since then, the banking standards code has been strengthened and backed by law. Financial institutions must now notify customers by letter, email or text of any reduction in interest rates before they take effect. This reader's situation is therefore unlikely to recur – though careful reading of the material sent to her by Santander should have alerted her to the reduction in rates.
Q. I have a two-year fixed deposit certificate with a nationalised Indian bank, Vijaya, paying 9.25 per cent. Does the Indian government give any guarantees similar to the UK's compensation scheme? AB, by email.
A. The Financial Services Compensation Scheme provides a guarantee for deposits held in UK and some European banks, up to a maximum of £85,000 per institution. As an Indian bank, Vijaya is not covered by the FSCS, but it is covered by India's Deposit Insurance and Credit Guarantee Corporation (DICGC), which operates as a subsidiary of the Reserve Bank of India (the central bank). Under this guarantee, deposits are insured to a maximum of 100,000 rupees – about £1,380. So while you are receiving an attractive rate of interest, a high risk is attached to it. We wrote to the company secretary of Vijaya regarding your enquiry but he failed to reply. It is worth noting that one of the institutions consistently near the top of the best-buy tables at present is FirstSave – a Nigerian bank whose accounts are operated in the UK by FBN, which is registered with the Financial Services Authority and covered by the FSCS guarantee.
Q. In 2006, I made mistakes with my finances which damaged my credit records. I am now 37 with a stable life and job. I would really like to get on the property ladder but I cannot because I have two default notices on my credit file. HSBC issued the notices in 2006 but I was not notified. I believe that if HSBC cannot provide an original copy of the letter to me, showing my full name and address, it cannot prove that I received the letter. If I had received the letter, I would have done something about it.
According to Experian, the two default notices are managed by CL Finance Ltd. I have asked CL Finance for a copy of the default letter but it says it cannot remove the defaults. HSBC says the same. I have complained to the Financial Ombudsman Service, which says it cannot help with cases as old as this. I have proof that HSBC wrote to me at the wrong address: it wrote to Flat 2, No 24, when I lived at Flat 2, No 22. It also says the default letter production is automated and is unable to produce a copy of the actual letter. EZ, London.
A. HSBC rejects your argument. It says your account was passed for collection to an agency in September 2006, at which time a final demand letter, including default notice, was sent to your correct address. It says its records are clear and all correspondence from HSBC was sent to the correct address. It was only when a second collection agency took over debt collection that a wrong address was used – more than a year after the original default notice was sent to the right address. You have not told us the value of the debt, but our advice is that, rather than dispute the legality of the debt record, you should instead now take advice on how to negotiate a mutually acceptable package of repayments. Advisers who might assist you include Citizens Advice, the Debt Advice Foundation and the Consumer Credit Counselling Service.
Q. I am having a problem with O2 about my mobile phone contract and data allowances. I upgraded my contract to an Apple iPhone 4 last July, signing up for two years at £30 a month. For this I am supposed to get 300 minutes and unlimited texts and data, and this is written clearly in my contract. I was never told when taking out the contract that there might be a cap on my data usage. I am not a heavy user of mobile data, only occasionally using it for Facebook and internet browsing.
In September, O2 told me it was introducing a cap on the data allowance on my contract, set at 500MB. I have complained repeatedly that it is unfair to amend my contract after it was agreed and I have had to purchase an extra bolt-on to raise my data allowance: every month I either use more than 95 per cent of my data allowance or go over it. JH, Watford.
A. O2 argues that when your contract was upgraded the tariffs "were clearly advertised as having a data cap", with a promotional period of unlimited data that ended last September. We suggest you contact the industry ombudsman, Otelo, to adjudicate on the dispute.

The present invention is a street hockey ball for use in games on hard surfaces. The ball has a core of a low rebound material, and a hard, tough covering material. This invention provides for the height of contact between the ball and the stick to approximate the height of contact between the hockey puck and the stick, and the weight of the ball is likewise designed to approximate a puck. In this way the ball of the present invention simulates the feel and action of a hockey puck, for example providing ice hockey players with a viable training device off the ice.
1. A street hockey ball comprising a core and a covering thereon, said core comprising an elastic material having a low rebound, and said covering comprising a tough, hard material, said ball having the approximate weight of an ice hockey puck, the diameter of the ball being about two inches.
2. The street hockey ball according to claim 1, wherein the core comprises a polyurethane having a ball rebound of less than about 13%.
3. The street hockey ball according to claim 1, wherein the ball bounces less than about 5 inches after having been dropped from a height of about 3� feet.
4. The street hockey ball according to claim 1, wherein the weight of the ball is 5.9�3 ounces.
5. The street hockey ball according to claim 4, wherein the weight of the ball is 5.9�1 ounces.
6. The street hockey ball according to claim 1, wherein the surface of the ball is dimpled.
7. A method for making a street hockey ball, comprising providing a low rebound flexible polymeric material, molding said polymeric material into a green ball, and covering said green ball with a tough material adhered to the polymeric material, the ball having a diameter of about two inches and a weight approximating that of an ice hockey puck.
8. The method of claim 7, further comprising covering said green ball with a tough, dimpled material.
9. A method of playing the game of hockey played off-ice, the improvement comprising playing the game with the street hockey ball according to claim 1.
10. A play device for simulating an ice hockey puck, comprising the geometry of a sphere, a hard outer surface, minimal bounce, a weight of about 5.9�3 ounces, and when disposed on a horizontal surface having its widest dimension disposed about one inch from said surface.
11. The play device of claim 10, wherein the weight is about 5.9�1 ounces.
12. A method of playing the game of hockey played off-ice, the improvement comprising playing the game with the device according to claim 10.
This application is based on provisional patent application 60/121,368, filed Feb. 25, 2000.
1. Field of the Invention
This invention relates to objects such as hockey pucks and the like for use in games on hard surfaces, such as roadways and sidewalks, to methods for making the same, and to games played therewith.
2. The State of the Art
A typical hockey puck used on ice has the geometry of a circular disk, about one inch thick and about three inches in diameter, and is made of a hard rubber. When used on ice, the puck has tendency to slide on one of the disk faces, even when the puck starts out rolling on the edge of the disk.
Hockey is also played on hard, non-ice surfaces, such as streets and roadways. When a conventional hockey puck is used on such a hard surface, the friction of the surface (greater than that of ice) tends to allow a rolling puck to roll. Further, the friction of such hard surfaces is typically so great that a puck will not slide very far on one of the disk faces, generally not sufficiently far to be used in a hockey game, and never as far as would be expected playing on ice. Additionally, a conventional hockey puck has a tendency to bounce when used on such hard surfaces.
Conventional hockey balls (plastic spherical pucks) are too light in weight and too soft to provide the desired feel and action akin to ice hockey. In addition, such spherical pucks do not roll well if it becomes very warm (because of the increase in adhesion and/or tackiness of the plastic material).
Accordingly, there is a need for a puck or simulated puck that can be used on hard surfaces such as roadways and sidewalks and that will have the feel and action similar to that of a conventional hockey puck used on ice.
The primary object of this invention is to provide a device that simulates the feel and action of a real hockey puck, as if the user were playing with a conventional puck on ice. Such a device is useful not only for playing hockey off-ice but also for off-ice stick and puck training.
In summary, this invention provides a play item, in a geometry such as a sphere, comprising a hard coating surrounding a hard elastomer having reduced bounce.
More particularly, in a preferred embodiment the device is a spherical puck, having a diameter of about two inches, and comprising a urethane core and an ionmeric coating.
FIG. 1 provides an idealized side view showing the approximate size relationship among a conventional hockey puck, a hockey ball according to this invention, and the blade of a hockey stick.
The present invention is most preferably embodied as a sphere having a diameter of about two inches, more preferably having a diameter of about 2{fraction (1/32)} to 2{fraction (1/16)} inches. At this diameter, the widest part of the sphere (i.e., a diameter through the center) lies at about 1 inch from the ground, the same height as a conventional hockey puck.
With reference to FIG. 1, a conventional hockey puck 101 is shown from the side. Next to the conventional puck is a spherical puck 103 according to this invention. The diameter of the novel puck 105 is the same height as, or slightly higher than, the height 107 of a conventional hockey puck. When the blade 109 of a hockey stick 111 contacts a conventional hockey puck, the contact typically occurs at the upper edge 113. The widest part of the inventive puck is essentially the same height as the contact edge 113 of a conventional puck in order for the stick blade to contact the ball in essentially the same location. As shown in the figure, the widest part of the ball 105 is the same height as, or slightly higher than, the height 107 of the conventional puck.
The weight of the preferred embodiment of the spherical puck is about 5.9 ounces, the weight of a conventional hockey puck, and preferably is about 5.9�4 oz.; one-half pound is about the heaviest desirable for a puck, although significantly lighter weights (such as 2-3 oz.) can also be useful. The weight can be adjusted as desired; for example, one may prefer a heavier puck if the surface is rougher, and a lighter puck if the surface is smoother. The weight of the puck can be varied by changing the size of the puck, the materials of the puck (although most polymers have about the same density), and/or the parts of the puck (e.g., a puck with heavy core and one or more polymeric outer shells).
The puck is made preferably of two materials, a core comprising an elastic material with minimal rebound and a coating comprising a flexible, hard, and durable material. The core is called a green ball, as it is not a fully completed article for use in street hockey. The green ball is then covered by the coating material to result in the finished product.
A preferred material for the core is a polymer, preferably a polyurethane or polyisocyanate such as VIBRATHANE� 8050 or ADIPRENE� LF 1950A cured with VIBRACURE� A931. VIBRATHANE�, VIBRACURE�, and ADIPRENE� polymers are commercially available from Uniroyal Chemical (Middlebury, Conn.) and are the reaction product of an isocyanate (e.g., toluene diisocyanate, TDI) with a polyether or polyester. Other suitable durable polyurethanes are described by Gajewski and Gajewski et al. (U.S. Pat. Nos. 4,195,150, 5,023,040, 5,223,599, and 5,654,390), O'Donnell et al. (U.S. Pat. No. 5,112,933), Karoly et al. (U.S. Pat. No. 4,166,042), and Chin et al. (U.S. Pat. No. 5,714,561), the disclosures of which are incorporated herein by reference. The VIBRACURE� A931 curative is a polyol amine curative (e.g., containing phenyl diethanolamine) useful for curing polyether and polyester prepolymers (e.g., VIBRATHANE� B-896 (mixture of 2,4- and 2,6-toluene diisocyanate with polyether), VIBRATHANE� 8050, ADIPRENE� LF 1950A (mixture of 2,4- and 2,6-toluene diisocyanate with polyester)). Other suitable curatives include 4,4′-methylene-bis-(o-choroaniline) (called MBCA), and diamines, especially aromatic amines available under the trademarks ETHACURE� 100 (diethyl-2,4- and diethyl-2,6-toluenediamide), ETHACURE� 300 (di(methylthio)-2,4- and di(methylthio)-2,6-toluenediamine), and ETHACURE� 400 (blend of ETHACURE� 300 and a diol). Especially preferred compositions include VIBRATHANE� B896 cured with VIBRATHANE� A195 (a mixture or blend of VIBRATHANE� A931, ETHACURE� 100, and ETHACURE� 300), and ADIPRENE� LF 1950A cured with VIBRATHANE� A195 at a 90% stoichoimetric ratio. Polymeric compositions made with a polyester are harder than those made with a polyether.
The inventive puck of this invention is preferably non-bouncing to avoid the bouncing on the play surface and thus not behaving as a puck would on ice. "Ball rebound" is one indication of ball's bounciness and can be determined by testing according to ASTM D3574. This test involves dropping a steel ball of known mass from a predetermined height onto a sample of the material and the ball rebound height is expressed as a percentage of the original drop height. The lower the ball rebound height is expressed as a percentage of the original drop height. The lower the ball rebound number the more preferred for this invention; i.e., the "deader" the ball the better. The rebound is preferably less than 13%. A preferred rule of thumb is that the puck according to this invention should have essentially no bounce (preferably ≦5″) when dropped from waist high, or about 3� feet. VIBRATHANE 8050 cured with ETHACURE 300 has a Shore D hardness of about 50 and a Bashore Rebound of about 25-30%.
If a coating material is used, preferably it is comprised of a tough, flexible, smooth material, such as CAPRON nylon (e.g., ULTRATOUGH™ BU50I, available from Allied Signal, Morristown, N.J.), SURLYN ionomer, and the like as are typically used for coverings for golf balls. The coating for this invention may have a smooth surface (i.e., without dimples) or may have dimples regularly spaced on the surface.
It is also possible to make a puck according to this invention without a covering if the bulk puck material is tough. One purpose of the aforementioned coating is to prevent the stick blade from sticking to the puck due to inherent tackiness of the polymeric material, which is likely to change as the ambient temperature increases; for example, a puck used outdoors in Tucson or Houston is likely to be much tackier than the same puck used in New York or Boston because of the warmer ambient temperature (polymers typically become tackier as the temperature increases). Thus, a tough and hard material, that has some elastic character is useful for this invention. The present puck can be constructed somewhat like a bowling ball, which has a hard and smooth exterior, but bounces too much to be useful for this invention; further, bowling balls tend to chip, which would greatly diminish the utility of the present novel puck.
As described, this invention includes a play device, preferably in the geometry of a sphere or disk, that has minimal bounce and a smooth and hard or tough outer surface, and most preferably a dead core and a hard surface. As such, when this device is used, for example, for street hockey, the device rolls very quickly because of the hard coating. Also, the device has a significantly reduced tendency to bounce because of the dead center having a reduced ball rebound. In essence, then, when struck, this device will tend to roll very quickly without bouncing, analogous to a hockey puck played with on ice. The hard coating and low rebound material provide a device that does not deform or warp.
While this invention has been described with reference to street hockey, the puck may be disk shaped and used in that game, or may be spherical and used in a game such as field hockey.
The foregoing description is meant to be illustrative and not limiting. Various changes, modifications, and additions may become apparent to the skilled artisan upon a perusal of this specification, and such are meant to be within the scope and spirit of the invention as defined by the claims.
