Life is what you make it, make it good.
I'm Jeremy, 25 from South Jersey. I was teaching for a little while but now I'm going back to school to finish my seond degree in accounting.Teaching was fun but I couldn't see myself doing it for the next 40 years. I'll miss coaching the most. I consider myself a pretty simple. I am very close with my family, which is pretty big, and I consider my group of friends family to me also. I love kids, I'm about to have my first niece in October and can't wait. I also babysit my cousin's kids a couple days a week, they keep me young. I'm laid back, always down for trying anything twice. Country music is my favorite but I'll listen to anything. I love cooking any type of food and I'm always open to trying new food. I recently started to get back into hiking and camping again and I'm glad that I did. I'm not too sure how I ended up on here, I guess like everyone else I've spent enough time meeting people who aren't looking for the same things I am in life. I'm a genuine guy, fluent in sarcasm and I like to make people laugh, even if it is at my own expense. The little things in life mean the most, I feel like most people stress over too much and miss things every day that make life worth living. I've learned from those closest to me that the most influential part of any situation is how you approach it so I try to approach all situations, good and bad, with enthusiasm and optimism. I'm hoping to meet someone that I can be best friends with, someone that I can have a great time doing nothing with and that I can share my life with. Feel free to message if you're interested.

Teleconferencing might be the rage, but it will never replace meeting business associates in person, says Jay Akasie.
April 13, 2010 1:53 by Jay Akasie
There are certain costs of doing business that continue to elude the finest managers among us.
Make no mistake about it: These are big costs. But they're nearly impossible to nail down. At the end of the day, for example, how do you measure a marketing campaign's ROI? Your marketing chief will present his own song and dance to answer that question, but rarely will it contain any sort of quantifiable measurement.
The same goes for the inherent value of a face-to-face meeting. One of the challenges to the airline industry over the past couple years was how quickly business travel dried up as companies attempted to deal with post-recession realities. Out of this lean, mean environment arose a preponderance of plug-and-play office suites.
For those who are unfamiliar with these office suites, they instantly enable a businessman to set up an office headquarters with receptionist, internet connectivity, boardroom, mailing address, and office furniture – all for a monthly rent. Depending on how much you're willing to pay, you might score an office in a building with a prestigious address and top-notch firms sharing your facilities.
Plug-and-play providers have been touting their business value with extra verve since the onset of the recession. Whatever the rent, the idea is that a businessman nevertheless avoids airfare and lodging because his suite includes all the video conferencing bells and whistles.
It's a claim worth testing. Which is why we wondered if, as this new crop of office landlords is saying, business travel is a vestige of another era. More specifically, we wanted to know if a trip from Dubai to New York and back for business is a better value than the benefits that come with staying put and video conferencing instead.
The networking started on the flight itself – and proved invaluable. I met two bankers involved with top firms from Dubai and Abu Dhabi, who gave me tips on the Gulf's evolving financial scene. The unbroken stretch of 12 hours on board was also ideal for preparing presentations, finishing reports, and reading up on the competition. When we were nearing our destination, we received shaving kits so that we could run to our meetings in New York looking like new.
In New York City I faced no less than five grueling meetings in a row on my first day there. I had another three meetings that took up most of the second day. With every meeting, my presence in each room, in front of each person, was key. After a few face-to-face meetings, you soon realize that a lot of subtlety is lost in emails and on speakerphones.
Chief financial officers have no way of putting a price on business relationships. True, they've devised catch-all accounting categories like "goodwill" in their desire to place quantitative value on something only your gut can measure. Yet what became clear to us after our unscientific travel study is that staying put and relying on videoconferencing technology puts businessmen at a distinct disadvantage. In the rush to save a quick buck, companies have cut back on travel budgets, operating under the belief that there's no difference between being there and communicating electronically.
How wrong they are. It's clear to us that travelling to a meeting – even if it's in New York – provides a better networking and business tool than any "plug and play" office rental, and for less money, too. Which is why we remain bullish on business air travel. There's no substitute for a handshake.

This post was done in partnership with The Wirecutter, a list of the best technology to buy. Read the original full article below at TheWirecutter.com
If I were buying an SSD to replace a mechanical hard drive or an SSD that's running out of room, I'd get the 500GB Samsung 850 EVO. It has one of the best combinations of price, performance, and capacity of any drive you can get, plus easy-to-use software and a long warranty, and it comes from a company that makes excellent SSDs (and all their components).
Who's This For?
Replacing your boot drive with an SSD is one of the easiest ways to make an older computer feel newer and faster. If you've never used one before, you'll be amazed.
Solid-state drives are three to four times faster than mechanical drives when reading or writing large files, and hundreds of times faster for the small random read and write operations your computer makes most during normal use. Since SSDs don't have any moving parts, they use less power, put out less heat, and don't vibrate. The one downside is that they're more expensive than traditional hard drives, but that price gap is dropping fast.
You should get an SSD like the 500GB Samsung 850 EVO if you have a laptop or desktop that boots from a mechanical hard drive or a cramped, outdated SSD. It's also a good way to save money on a new laptop. You can usually save several hundred dollars by buying a laptop configured with a mechanical hard drive or small SSD and replacing or augmenting it with a high-capacity SSD. Most people should get the highest-capacity SSD they can afford. Right now 500GB is the sweet spot.

About Me
As a writer I love engaging the minds and enthusiasm of young audiences; I mine history for golden nuggets that shine today, and am particularly attracted to stories of women who refuse to play by the rules. I am always fascinated by the many shades of grey that make up the human experience. As a producer I co-founded the Tricycle Theatre in London, England with Ken Chubb and from 1989 to 2003 I was co-artistic director with Lib Spry of Straight Stitching Productions. As a story and script editor I work with Ken Chubb on the development of projects for film and television and was Senior Story Editor for Jozi-H, a 13 x 1 hour drama series.
I'm a member of the Playwrights Guild of Canada and the Writers Guild of Canada.
What's New…
I am Marguerite is currently on at the Alumnae Theatre in Toronto. Directed by Molly Thom, the play runs from April 10 – 25, 2015.
Click here for the trailer to get a taste of the show.
I will be giving a talk about the play at 12:45pm before the matinee performance on Sunday, April 12th
I am the current playwright on Follow the Playwright, an initiative of the Playwrights Guild of Canada. Click on the link to read more about I am Marguerite and see me read a short scene from the play.
Tales of the Tricycle Theatre, by Terry Stoller has been published by Bloomsbury Methuen Drama. It's a history of the Tricycle Theatre in London, England, which was founded by Ken Chubb and me. The Tricycle, which opened in 1980, evolved from the Wakefield Tricycle Company that Ken and I started in 1972.
A shout-out for I am Marguerite from the Tricycle.

You think you know Caroline Doctorow? "Something Pulls Me to You," the opening track of the singer-songwriter's new album, leaves behind flowery folk for Hank Williams lonesome. Backed by the loping twang of Pete Kennedy's guitar, it calls to mind hunched patrons at a late-night New Mexico roadside diner, nursing their sorrows as much as their coffee cups.
Ever feel that modernity has gotten so strange you must be living on another planet? In "The Twinning Project" (Clarion Books, $16.99), Robert Lipsyte of Shelter Island posits a second Earth created by alien scientists to study evolution. But humans, as humans will, have made a mess of things (our stock-in-trade: war, starvation, genocide, environmental degradation), and the project is being abandoned — no more Earths.

Hey gang: Tanier here. Looking for a patriotic longform to read on a lazy Fourth of July weekend? Maybe one with Tom Landry, Branch Rickey and Chiang Kai-shek as major characters? How about one with links to some amazing WWII-era football film. You are in luck! Bleacher Report let me tell the story of the postwar Yankees and Dodgers, a pair of teams that helped win a war but, thanks to those mighty Cleveland Browns, lost the peace.

Hey folks, Tanier here! With DeflateGate slowly eroding my sanity, I jumped at the chance Bleacher Report gave me to tell the story of the Providence Steam Roller. It was meant to just be an oddball feature about 1920s football, but I found some fun parallels with the current state of NFL football in New England.
Take the time to link and share this one. If we get lots of "reader engagement," B/R will let me write more stuff about old-timey football.

Hey folks, Tanier here. Thought you might like this in-depth look at the perils of trying to draft, or even scout, a kicker or punter. It contains lots of good stuff from experts like John Carney and Michael Husted!
Just to break the news here first, I am scheduled to provide live pick-by-pick coverage of the first three rounds of the draft over at Bleacher Report. If you are a B/R conscientious objector, I ask you to reconsider and give Team Stream a look. I was once like you!
In the meantime, enjoy the kickers and punters.

Your creatures are amazing! I highly disagree that your stuff is out of place on this site, you're highly pro-ful. I would love to see some humans and landscapes from you, I think they would be really interesting with your style.

Nayru 7- Your creature work is looking really promising, and the anatomy of your creatures looks strong.
For a critique I'd have to say that your pieces posted look a bit to flat and up against the picture plane you. Might want to experiment with some more depth studies, and doing some small still life practice would help you learn more about form.
Hope to see more soon .

Oh hi Nayru! It's Skull here.
Since you're here for the critique, I'd like to suggest that you made some landscape-studies. Maybe do a few batches of speed-painted landscapes with photo-references to get the general idea of the shadings, lighting etc. Also, I'd really like to see what your skills for human(oid)s are.
Also, the wolves you've drawn have dropped jaws. There should be a clear angle between the two jaws.
You are the god of your imagination. Rule it wisely.

Nayru's Sketchbook (critique please) UPDATED July 2012
Hey guys! I'm back. Sorta dropped off the radar there for a while but thank you very much everyone for the critiques!! I really appreciate it.
I've been trying to get a better hold on doing landscapes/backgrounds since I struggle with them. I also have some random dragons. As always let me know what you think and thanks for stopping by!

A TV review of IFC's "The Spoils Before Dying" and HBO's "7 Days in Hell."
The word preposterous is too moderate to describe "Eagle Eye." This film contains not a single plausible moment after the opening sequence, and that's borderline. It's not an assault on intelligence. It's an assault on consciousness. I know, I know, I liked "Mummy: Tomb of the Dragon Emperor," but that film intended to be absurd. "Eagle Eye" has real cars and buildings and trains and CNN and stuff, and purports to take place in the real world.
You might like it, actually. Lots of people will. It involves relentless action: chases involving planes, trains, automobiles, buses. Hundreds of dead. Enough crashes to stock a junkyard. Lots of stuff being blowed up real good. Two heroes who lack any experience with violence but somehow manage to stick up an armored car at gunpoint, walk on board an unguarded military transport plane and penetrate to the ultra-secret 29th-floor basement of the Pentagon.
They are Jerry and Rachel (Shia LaBeouf and Michelle Monaghan). Both are ordinary Chicagoans until they start getting commands from a mysterious female voice on their cell phones. Now try to follow this. Whatever force is behind the voice has control of every cell phone and security camera in the nation. They can control every elevated train and every stop light. Can observe the traffic and give precise driving instructions. Can control the movements of cranes in junkyards, the locations of garbage barges and arrange for a rendezvous on a dirt road in an Indiana country field. Oh, and when a guy drives down the road to meet them in a van, They can instruct them to warn the guy that if he walks away, he will be killed. If They don't want him dead, then why do They kill him -- since the situation clearly reflects Their power?
We haven't even arrived at the Pentagon, and already the audience is chuckling at the impossibilities. I won't even get started on the air cargo container, the syringes inside and the on-time recovery of the heroes after they give themselves shots. Turns out the syringes were in a briefcase that the heroes survived incredible death and destruction to pick up, and it isn't even needed after the plane takes off. I won't give it away, but the only thing They really need is an attribute of Jerry's. So here's an idea that would save billions of dollars and hundreds of lives: Why not get a couple of no-neck guys from the West Side to kidnap Jerry, haul him on board a private jet and transport him to Them?
OK, OK. Enough with the implausibilities. This whole movie is a feature-length deus ex machina, and if you don't know what that is, look it up, because you're going to need it to discuss "Eagle Eye." And yet I think I'll use the tricky star-rating system to give it two stars. Now why would I give it two instead of, oh, say, one star? Both because of the elements I've complained about, and in spite of the elements I've complained about.
Let me explain. If you're looking for a narrative that makes much sense, "Eagle Eye" lacks one. It's essentially a lot of CGI and stunt work, all stuck together in a row. LaBeouf is a good young actor, but you wouldn't discover that here. I barely had time to observe that he resembles an underweight John Cusack when he was off and running, as Jerry and Rachel became elements in effect scenes. The movie obviously intends to resemble and inspire a video game, and at that it is slick. I look forward to film students using their clickers to work out the average shot length. I'm predicting less than three seconds. So to summarize, "Eagle Eye" is great at all the things I object to, and I admit it. But I didn't enjoy it.

'Mythical Maze' Summer Reading Challenge inspiring young readers
Friday, 22 August 2014
More than 24,800 children have so far signed up for this year's 'Mythical Maze' Summer Reading Challenge at Hampshire libraries and there is still time to get involved.
The 'Mythical Maze' theme for the 2014 Summer Reading Challenge was created by top illustrator Sarah McIntyre. It invites children to find their way around a labyrinth that introduces them to fantastical creatures from the world of legend and mythology, collecting stickers of each character along the way.
Each time they finish a fictional or non fictional book from the library, children can collect a sticker and after six books they can claim a certificate and a medal. The 24,800 that have signed up for this years challenge will be reading at least 140,000 books between them during the summer holidays.
The challenge runs until Saturday 13 September 2014 in Hampshire County Council's libraries and is aimed at 4 to 12 year olds. It's open to all children and if they are not library members already, they can join on the day they sign up. Certificates and medals are available while stocks last.
Across the nation every year the Summer Reading Challenge helps get three quarters of a million children into libraries to maintain their reading skills and confidence during the long summer holidays when their reading activity can dip.
Hampshire's libraries have embraced this year's challenge to encourage youngsters to sign up and keep reading.
In Winchester 322 children signed up for the Summer Reading Challenge in the first week and during the summer there are plenty of workshops, story telling sessions and arts and crafts events going on with a 'Mythical Maze' theme.
Gosport Discovery Centre has a roaring dragon that guards the treasure of medals inside a specially created cave. There is also a competition to 'name the dragon.'
At Stubbington library children have the choice of a griffin or a Pegasus to colour-in when they register and their pictures are added to the wall maze for everyone to see.
Events in other Hampshire libraries include themed storytimes, t-shirt making and arts and crafts events.
Hampshire County Council's Executive Member for Culture, Recreation and Countryside, Councillor Keith Chapman, said: "Mythical Maze Summer Reading Challenge 2014 is an ideal activity for children before they go back to school in September and there is still time to sign up and join the challenge. For those who will be going to school for the first time, sharing books with adults and taking part in the challenge can be great preparation and help them to be'reading ready'. The challenge has been running for 13years in Hampshire and every year, more children are inspired to take part."

After reading this, i think i agree with you. I had a friend who was very rash and quick to decide without taking into consideration the consequences in the future, and i have been in the car for a few of his tickets. He also texts while he is driving, ignoring me when i have asked him politely not to do so, claiming "I'm skilled at this; i know what i'm doing." He has continuously gotten himself into situation after situation. It is uncanny, how much his personality is reflected in his driving. However, after reading some of the comments here, i do agree that it is also biased based on the "judge's" perception. So... yes, you can, but it won't be absolute.

Comments & conversations
i remember being bullied a lot in high school, and it took away from the "great experience" everyone claims comes from high school. This might be repetitious, but a big thing that i think our teachers and coaches could do to help prevent bullying--Or at least reduce it--would be to pay closer attention to their students and teammates, both in and out of class. this includes listening. Of course, it also helps if people speak up, but it's very hard to do, especially when we're wanting to just "fit in with the crowd". I think that coaches, maybe even teachers, should ask their students if they have noticed or heard any acts of bullying. Sometimes it can be easier to speak out in small groups, or when anonymity is granted. Maybe even a "suggestion box" could help.

Charming, centrally locatedPosted Dec 29, 2014
Cons: Whilst in Kenya, one should have Kenyan coffee at breakfast and not Nescafe.
Location: Ft. Jesus, Old Town, CBD, Moi Avenue, Mama Ngina Drive
Very happy with my experience. Stayed for 10 days. Good service - daily cleaning. Functioning A/C - very important for this climate. Fridge - able to keep cold water on hand. Staff helpful w/o being all up in your business. Breakfast pretty good - especially the pancakes. Real coffee vs. instant would be a nice touch. Cyber cafe and mPesa agent in lobby - very convenient! Easy to get cab or tuk-tuk out front. Terrace very peaceful and lovely in the evening. WiFi sort of works in rooms and definitely works on the terrace. Park yourself under a modem with a cup of cappuccino and click away.

Convenient Location but very basicPosted Apr 23, 2014 on Hotels
The New Palm Hotel has a very convenient location to the main historic sites in Old Town Mombasa (Ft. Jesus, etc). The service was generally good. However, it has very basic amenities and a few issues to note. 1. The toilet was not functioning but we were only there for one night; 2. There were bugs and we noted the man spraying the snack counter area with pesticide; 3. The A/C was not strong enough to keep us cool at night.

Location is good. The mosquito net was the wrong size for the bed, but when we asked for a larger one they changed it very quickly. Food was ok, but nothing to write home about. But the safe were helpful and welcoming at all times.

Nice and quiet hotel in central positionPosted Mar 27, 2014
I stayed 3 nights in the New Palm Tree Hotel, at the beginning of March 2014. I was very happy to have found this nice and quiet hotel, as a single woman it is sometimes not easy to feel confortable and safe without spending a fortune. This was one of the best hotels I had in Kenya, and as it is situated in a central position I did not even need to take a tuk tuk to visit the old town, just 5 minutes walk! The only thing that made me crazy was the booking, as I had booked through expedia and the woman at the reception kept telling me that my booking had been cancelled and insisted that I did not pay for any room. I had to insist that I had cancelled one booking but made another one for one week later, but it was not easy to convince her... The problem is with Expedia, as the booking number I had was different from the booking number which was in the booking system of the hotel. SO PLEASE @ Expedia: USE ONLY ONE BOOKING NUMBER, SO THAT THE BOOKINGS CAN BE EASILY FOUND!! THANKS

Guilty-pleasure SPELLINGS?
Well, I love the name Zoe. It's a great name, with spunk and vivacity, and a good Greek backround. But lately I've been crushing on the spelling Zowie, even though my better sense would prevent me from ever using it : ) What about you all? Have any of you got a guilty-pleasure spelling?

I actually like the Zooey spelling even though some would pron. it "ZOO-ee" I'm sure
I think the one that stands out the most to me is Genoveva... it's pronounced "Jen-uh-vee-va" (like Genevieve with an A at the end) but I don't think anyone would know how to pron. it from the original spelling. I think the original spelling is prettier but I've toyed with the idea of Jennaviva just to make it easier on the child with spelling/pron. issues.
And... I like Kaitlin better than any other spelling (Kaitlyn, Caitlin, Caitlyn, Katelynn et c.) but I may be biased You're not alone!baby #1 arriving november 2015

Zowie rhymes with owie. Is that intentional?
For me, the only time I would use an alternative spelling is if it makes the pronunciation more phonetic. I have a common name with an uncommon pronunciation, and it's caused a great deal of difficulty throughout my life. I love the name Esme, but if I used it I would spell it Esmay to prevent my daughter from experiencing the same frustration.Simon, Eloise, Faye, Judah, Thea, Marina, Felix, Iris, Cordelia, Roscoe, Lydia, Jasper, Phaedra, Adrian, Lucinda, Jane, Wallace, Finnegan, Sylvie, Charlie, Juniper, Atlas, Matilda, Julian, Alice, Marlowe, Octavia, Jack, Marigold, Ruby Louise, Archer, Violet, Gabriel, Persephone, Dov, Louisa

Caffe Sidolis: Ice cream, paninis, baguettes
This cafe is in Bridgend Outlet Centre. It is an old established Italian cafe offering Hot drinks, toasted sandwiches, panini and baguettes as well as jacket potatoes. There is also a selection of ice cream.
We ordered hot chocolate and panini with oven roasted Mediterranean vegetables. There was supposed to be mozarella cheese but we didn't get any..
The toasted cheese panini was excellent. Prices varied around £4.50- £5.50
The walls were decorated with old black and white photographs showing the family and premises through time.
Favorite Dish: Hot chocolate which had marshmallow and cream . It was delicious. It cost £3 plus 0.55 for any extras.

The Star Inn ,Treoes: Gorgeous food !
This small village pub / resturant serves the most stunning dishes !
a very popular restaurant that we keep going back to as its one of our favourites
Favorite Dish: the homemade pate and the stuffed chicken breast are my faves !
Lucky Star: £1.00 student meal deal
Chinese/ cantonese style takeaway
Quick and ready foods and the lunchtime special which offers a quick meal for less than 1.50 on most options.
However, be prepared for the school rush at lunchtimes and evenings.
Favorite Dish: Rice + curry = £1.00
Bargain. The curry is a good consisitancy and the rice is cooked to a good standard.
Pizza Hut - Bridgend: All u can eat for 4.95
The pizza hut in the outlet village, has a lunchtime special 12 - 2pm for 4.95 (not include drinks).
The pizza hut staff are usually prompt to recieve guests and provide good alround service even during busier periods.
The best time is after 1pm when the majority of the working class has gone back to work.
The pasta selection is a particular favorite and the high chair access for children and friendliness of certain staff is well appreciated. Only grumble is the walkway into the main seating area for people with push chairs and wheelchairs can become cramped.
Favorite Dish: Pasta meals - carbonara and tomato pasta.
Le Raj: All u can eat indian - birthday delight
Good parking, and into the restaurant.
Good decor and quality of lighting. Nice spacing and plenty of room for parties of 4 or more.
We was met by staff promptly and seated quite quickly. Our order was taken readily and the party of four quickly headed for the well stocked and well prepared food display.
Personally, I really get my monies worth from all buffets I visit, especially on a birthday outing. Plenty of the usual items, korma, tikka, salad, pops and more.
Even though the food was very good quality. I can't remember a certain dish that stuck out in my mind. I would recommend this restaurant for the range of foods on offer for the buffet and the size to accomodate larger parties.
Favorite Dish: Chicken Korma and popadom rolls.
The brandy dessert was particulary nice and tea and coffee for dessert went down quite well.
Spice, indian restuarant: 6.95 5 course special, 5pm-11pm most nights
Good redesign of the outside and the inside is well presented and well meet by the curtous and friendly staff.
The opportunity to select your meal from the menu without rush was found and I personally have always found the restaurant to be well spaced and no too crowded.
Good quality of food, however, nothing particular sticks in my mind.
I would recommend this restaurant for there special offer for the value..

Fillllliliilllllilllili HW W M11 "M11 wairuiv'nimnv'uirwith support comprises the seat-black 22,which may be constructed of Wood, serves as the rear wall of .the start- As shown best in Fig. 6, the collapsibl: ollowing parts.
ing chamber 14:, and is pivoted at indicated at 23 ton crossbar of the supporting frame work; The seat-back is provided at its lower i end with a pair of hinge members 2% to which are pivotally attached a pair of links 25. Each link 25 is pivoted to'a link 26 by means of a cross-rod 27 and each link 26 is in turn pivoted to a link 28 by a cross-rod 29.
The forward ends of links 28 are joined by a cross-rod 30, this rod forming a part of the means for suspending the extreme forward end of the support 16 in both posi-' Intermedate their ends links 26 are piv otally mounted on brackets 33 by means of a.
cross-rod 34 journaled in the brackets and fixedly carrying the links-26. Fixed also to this'rod 34 is an offset arm 35 connected by alink 36 with anarm 37 secured on shaft 38 formed integral with the operating ban dle 20. v Slightly spaced, parallel, transversely arranged anti-friction rollers 39 cooperate with the links 25,26 and 28 in building up the collapsible support 16, so that the support when collapsed as shown in Fig.
' 4', will always safely, smoothly and swiftly eject from the starting chamber 14 the person or persons Within the same. Certain of these rollers 39, as indicated in Fig. 6, are hollow, so as also to house the cross-rods 27,
34, 29 and 30. Each of the other rollers 39 is journaled at its opposite ends in the two links between which it extends. The roll- .ers 39 which extend between the links 25 and'between the links 26 are mounted on these links by means of journal plates 40 shown on an enlarged scale in Figs; 7 and 8.
Referring to Fig. 3, a collapsible support 16 is thus provided which comprises a seatback 22 pivoted for movement about a fixed point A, a .seat-member. B pivotally connected to the seat-back, a'seat-riser C pivotally connected to the seat-member B, and
also pivoted for movement about aiixed point D, a floor member E pivotally connected I to the seat-riser "G, and a suspending means (the swing-bar 31 and chain 32) pivotallyconnected; to the fioormember and also pivoted for movement about a fixed point F. As a result of this construction it will be seen that the collapsiblesupport not only constitutes a collapsible seatstructure ing chamber; a
door in its open position van'dthesupport but alsothe floor and back wall of thestalfb ing chamber. Considering the said suspending means as a single lever, the collapsible. support, it will be noted, consists of three lever elements andtwo link elements alter-. nately arranged and all positivelyconnected, so that solely as the result of a. partial rotation of the central element, a lever, the side riser G, the support is collapsed into an elongated slide or reformed into a seatstructure, according tothe direction of jrotation of said central element. Thus, when the operating handle -20 is moved to the 'left of Fig. 1, the support 16'is collapsed, and When-this handle'is moved to the right the collapsed support is reformed into a seat- .ing structure.
Due to the slight inclinationpf 'the seat' riser C, the support 16 is collapsed,-n otby springs or other permanently; connected agents to be subsequently contended with. when the seating structure is reformed, but bythe mere weight of the occupants ofxthe starting chamber; the work of ,theiattend ant being no more thanto release the handle '90 20 from the catchQO. When the starting,- chamber has been thus emptied, of its. occupants, the attendant swings the operatin handle 20 toward 'theright' of'Figgldfo-r an? gagement with the catch 20 thereby tu'ining..the shaft '38 a-ndcausing, through ar'm 37,;link 36 and arm 35, aroc'king :of. the
' cross-trod 3 1 so as'to reform the collapsible support into a seating structure iwhich-also; provides the floor and back wall-o start A panel or door 41 of some suitably rigid material is fixedly carried byythe operat ng shaft 38, so that awhentheoperating, handle 7 20 is actuated to rock theshaft 34: and'thus collapse the support 16,the' 'door41 is swung up and out over the-conveyer; ".fIheydoorAl is normally closed as -shown in Figs)? and 6, to conceal from those seating themselves on the support within tlie starting chamber, not only the nature of the conveyeronto. which they are to be precipitated, but also the fact of the existence of such a conveyor. The
in its collapsed condition,'and their relation to the upper end of the :conveyer where-the transporting carpet-1'1 commences its W11,- ward travel, are all shown very clear Fig. 4:. a ")1 I I I The conveyor of which thisftransporting i53 carpet 17 forms apart comprises, asshown best ,i'n Figs, 1 and 2, and 9 th 13, a fixed slidewayj or guidewayf' having-an undulating upper surface andixftf'generaldine, of extension which is descending,'a pair of 12s.
endless conveyer chains {3 each guided over}: idler sprockets 44 and 44* andover adrivin'gf' 1 sprocketfi controlled by aclutch 46, anda, pair of wide endless be ts, one of which is the transportingcarget 17a n d as other a Jali the carpet belt 17 canvas Wear belt 49, attached to the conveyer 'chains to travel with them and thus be guided relative to the upper surface of the slideway 452.
As shown in Figs. 9, 10 and 11, theslideway 42 comprises a pair of inclined supporting beams 42 slung on the shafts 41 of the sprockets i1, 'Across these beams are laid transverse of the. parallel st1"ips l8,'which may be of leather or. of polished metal to act as antifriction agents relative to the canvas wearbelt. 19.
'As shown in Figs. 12 and 13, the endless transporting carpet belt 17 and the endless canvas wear-belt49 are connected to each other and to the two conveyer chains by cross-bands 50, which may be of spring-steel covered with canvas, arranged at suitable intervals.
The endless conveycr thus comprised of the chains, belts and cross-bands, isso constructed, as by forming the belts or crossbands or both of a fabric of slightly elastic weave, that a sufficient amount of give is provided to permit the weight of the person being transported down the conveyer to sag I between the sprockets 44; and thus cause the carpet belt to follow the dips in the undulating upper surface of the slidewayflil. In'this connection, sheet-like members 51 are provided in overlapping arrangement and anchored 'at' their rear ends. As these members are shown in Figs. 9 and 11, they are arranged irregularly and so as to irregularly overlap laterally as well as longitudinally of the slideway. When thus arranged, they impart a rolling as well as a pitching effect to the moving carpet. rVhether regularly or irregularly arranged, however, these members 51, when anchored at their ends so as to overlap the anchored rear ends of the members in advance, are of equal value in one respect. They permit the canvas'v'vearbelt 19 to pass smoothly down the incline without rubbingover unevenly applied planks 47. These members 51 may be of leather, and the leather may be of sufiicient .thicknessand stiffness, when the members are irregularlyarrang ed, to give such pitching and rolling effect to persons traveling on the transporting carpet 17. ,Or these members may be made of spring steel or the like, to increase the rolling and pitching efi'cct. The car 'iet may be ofa plain or V mottled green to suggest a seaway.
The operationof the apparatus should be clear from the foregoing. It may, however, be particularly pointed out that when the support 16 (Sf-Fig, ejection slide shown in Fig. 4, the axes of all the anti-friction rollers 39 lie in a single inclined plane. due to the manner in which the links 25,
floor planks 4171 The floor. planking-may be secured in place by-mea ns may be so guided end of the machine. 3 is collapsed to form the 2G! and 2% are formed and inter connected. As a result, the occupants of the star'tingchamber are ejected onto the transporting carpet 17 from an ejection slide totally free from bumps. Also, as the result of the provision ofthese anti-friction rollers 39, only a very slight inclination-from the horizontal of said ejection slide is necessary.
While the departure of a patron from the starting chamber may be speedily accoInplished, as soon as the door 19 is closed, so as to take care of different groups of p: trons in quick succession at the starting chamber, the ride down the slideway42 may be prolonged very. considerably over the time required for thedescent of,a gravity incline of equal length, for the reason that the transporting carpet 17 .may be moved at any I uniform speed, 'or even at intermittently variable speeds, as desired.
- The whole apparatus may be suitably housed, as in a tent, or by canvas Walls hung. on and over the supporting framework. In. any-event, it is preferable to form an inclined tunnel extendingjrom end to end of the slideway 12, so as. to conceal the presence of the conveyer and especially its relation to the starting chamber 14. The tunnel walls may be so arranged as to maintain the tunnel in darkness from the starting chamber to a point near the apron-18 thus to increase the startling effect of the sudden collapse of the support 16; and it will be noted from Fig. 1 that the design of the supporting framework is such as to include members 52 for facilitating the creation of such a tunnel. The presence of the apron 18 is. desirable because it insures that a person transported toward the exit end of the machine by the carpet 17 will not-be injured by the passage of the carpet over the roller arranged between the driving sprockets 4:5; and if this apron be dispensed with it is desirable to station an attendant adjacent to the exit end of the apparatus to help those on the carpet 17 to leave the same at the lower end of the conveyer.
It is particularly to be understood that even in the embodiment. of the invention above described the slideway' 42 need not be inclined downwardly relative to the"start-. ing chamber. It is obvious, 'for example, thata 'conveyer including "a power-driven transporting belt' like the endless carpet 17 and controlled as to de' scend orascend, or keep to a level course, oreven follow the uphill and downdalepath of a roller-coaster or Switchback, or turn or twist as desired, while transporting a passen ger from the starting chamber'to the exit It is-of course to be that the improved colfurther understood lapsible support 'forming apart of the present invention may with considerable advantage be employed also in connection with any slideway or downwardly inclined guideway constituting a fixed conveyer, for transporting a passenger toward the exit end of the apparatus after his ejection from the collapsible support; such a fixed conveyer for example, as an immovable chute'similar to the 'avity slide shown in said Letters Patent 0. 1,058,615.

"I came to no harm in Bari" Bari by craic
Bari Travel Guide: 130 reviews and 326 photos
I arrived in Bari from Lecce by train at about 1pm and my ferry left at about 7 pm - but I have heard such stories about Bari that I was feeling quite intimidated by it. I found it to be a bit scruffy, but the people who I stopped to ask the way were most obliging - especially the 2 police who were watching some sort of demonstration of exciteable youths in a shop front - don't know what that was about - the police went out of their way with charming smiles to put me on the right track.
So my first impression was excellent.
It would be interesting to explore this place. Find out why people tell stories about it.
The pic is of an old fort that I passed once I had got out of the business district and onto the waterfront.

Indeed Jenn, it does look quiet in the Old Quarter! I too wonder what goes on in there - made me think of a noon hour walk I once took in Belize City!! Great tip on your ferry ride - just my cup of tea.
What an alarming page title! How funny to meet you here-was trying to find out about Bari rather than looking at your stuff. Glad you lived to tell the tale>
I would be much more apprehensive than you if I were alone. Your writing is delightful and so entertaining.
I'm always up for a bun fight. ;) I waited for the ferry here too, Jen but all I remember doing was buying a couple cheap bottles of wine and laying on a park bench. I was one of the scruffy types the guidebooks warn again. lol
HeHe, yep it is quite a walk to the ferry port!
I have only been once in Bari, to sail on a ferry to Greece. What we saw of the city was pleasant but nice locals warned it was not safe to leave children (13 Y + three 9 Y) alone with the three cars!
"Scary Bari!" It seems like a good locale for one of those awful fright films.
I've just thought, what a great name for a pub : Bar - I
"Chaos and slackness" - only if viewed from our perspective. Somehow it still manages to happen. Cheers.
You write so well. So deadpan. And your home page picture would be perfect in the back of a book!

I'm trying to write a URL like below, but when I try to call the seo queryparam, it always returns index.php. Any idea why it isn't returning the correct value for 'seo'?
RewriteRule ^([^/]*)$ index.php?c=home&m=details&seo=$1 [L]
The URL it should forward from would be something like this: http://domain.com/The-Name-of-the-Product. That URL should be rewritten to http://domain.com/index.php?c=home&m=details&seo=The-Name-of-the-Product, but instead it ends up as http://domain.com/index.php?c=home&m=details&seo=index.php
