The invention relates to an interactive dispenser that can provide a liquid chemical product to a user (i.e.) an adult or child or other person in a use locus in response to a proximate user input. The dispenser can also provide a message related to the use of the dispenser, the chemical dispensed, the use of the chemical, etc., in response to user proximity. Use liquid chemicals can be derived from liquids, powders or solid block materials. The use chemical is typically provided in the form of pumpable liquid, but can be obtained in the form of a spray, a foam, a powder, a gel, etc. The use locus involved can include a household kitchen, bath or recreational areas or an institutional locus such as a bathroom, a kitchen, a food processing area, a public rest rooms, a day care center, etc. The messages provided by the interactive dispenser can include use chemical identity information, safety instructions, hygiene information or instructions, personal care instructions, chemical use instructions, prompts for the use of the dispenser and any other message that would tend to increase overall safety, hygiene the efficiency of the machine or efficacy in the use of the dispensed use chemical.
A variety of both automatic and manual dispensing equipment have been developed for powdered, liquid and solid block detergent materials. Dispensers for powdered materials include the devices disclosed in (e.g.) Salmonson, U.S. Pat. No. 4,063,663. Dispensers for solid block detergents and rinse aids include those disclosed in Copeland, U.S. Pat. Nos. 4,426,362, 5,320,118 and others. Dispensers for personal care liquids including hand soaps, sanitizing hand soaps, hand lotions, etc. include those disclosed in Olson, U.S. Pat. No. 5,248,066 and McDermott, U.S. Pat. No. 4,667,854. Household and institutional cleaning materials for hard surfaces, floors, windows, sinks, tile, etc. are disclosed in Nysten, U.S. Pat. No. 4,691,721; Copeland et al., U.S. Pat. No. 5,033,649; Mehus, U.S. Pat. No. 5,203,366; and Thomas, U.S. Pat. No. 5,255,820. One feature in common in certain dispensing systems comprises a visual indicator or low product alarm indicating that the chemical dispensed by the dispenser system is virtually consumed or depleted. Livingston et al., U.S. Pat. No. 4,509,543, disclose an institutional or industrial dishwasher having a monitor/controller device with machine generated speech capability. The Livingston et al. device substitutes a machine generated speech warning for a typical low product, etc., warning alarm when the monitor/controller detects low product conditions. Further, the dishwasher machine has an array of buttons which can be pressed by an operator. Pressing an appropriate button causes the monitor/controller to provide a machine generated speech relating to the proper operation of the machine in an instructional mode. Visual indicators can include a window or cut-out revealing the chemical level. A low product alarm is triggered by the amount of material in the dispenser and generates either a warning light or alarm buzzer or other aural signal. Maintenance personnel detecting the visual indicator or alarm can then replenish the chemical in the dispenser equipment.
A variety of dispensers are also known with an added feature comprising a proximity sensor. A user proximate to the sensor generates a signal that prompts the dispenser to dispense an amount of the personal care amount directly into the hand of the user. Binderbauer et al., U.S. Pat. No. 4,921,131; Pilola et al., U.S. Pat. No. 4,938,384; and Shiau, U.S. Pat. No. 4,989,755 each teach a proximity detector that detects the presence of, for example, the hand of a user. The HYGEINO motion activated soap dispenser, sold by Owstock Motivational Inc., is a consumer device that dispenses about one milliliter of hand soap per proximity prompt cycle. The dispensers are configured to dispense a personal care liquid such as a hand soap into the hand of the user when prompted by the proximity sensor.
We are also aware of a variety of sophisticated interactive systems. A large variety of video games requires a user input that can interface with a microprocessor system to compete in a game. Further, SEGA� and NINTENDO� are video games that rely on user input to generate a game output display. A large number of video games on floppy disk or CD-ROM provide a broad variety of interactive computer situations. These systems are highly complex, involve large input data sets and provide displays of complex gaming and informational displays. We are also aware of a variety of processor based control and data collecting systems that use microprocessor technology to optimize ware washing systems or to collect operational information during the operation of ware washing systems. Such data can be used by operators to optimize the system for dish-type, soil load and time of day parameters. Such computer based systems include the Diverlog system produced by Diversey Inc. and the Controlmax� system disclosed in Brady, U.S. Pat. No. 5,404,893.
The interactive dispenser of the invention comprises means to dispense a personal use or personal care chemical in response to the proximity of the user. The dispenser provides a message associated with the operation of the dispenser. For the purpose of this invention, proximity means the user is in contact with the device or within a radius from the machine such that (1) the user can see or hear the message produced by the interactive dispenser or (2) the user can interact with a sensor of the dispenser triggering a message, and the personal care or personal use chemical related to that component. The term "proximity" does not include and is not intended to mean a user manually operating a non-dispensing portion of the dispenser such as pressing a switch designed to produce a message associated with a switch label.
The term "proximity" indicates the presence of a user within a detectable radius of a sensor that can detect an aspect of the user's presence. A detected aspect of the user's presence can include body heat, body motion, change in reflectance, use of the dispenser, etc. Heat detectors commonly are sensors that can detect infrared (IR) energy at the intensity commonly released by the proximity of a person. Typically the heat detectors can be set to recognize the presence of an object having a temperature greater than ambient (typically 24�-29� C.). Since the skin surface of typical users are at a temperature of about 35�-37� C., the skin surface of a user can typically be used to trigger such a heat sensor. Preferred other sensing means include motion detectors that sense the motion of the user in proximity to the dispenser case. Motion sensors can detect a change in the environment surrounding the case. Motion sensors can direct an ultrasonic signal into an environment, can send an infrared signal into the environment or can send a variety of other signals into the environment. The proximity of a user alters the signal in such a way that the signal as it returns to the sensor means changes significantly to reveal the motion of the user. Such a motion detector typically comprises a transmitter unit and a receiving unit. The transmitting unit delivers a substantial amount of energy that can be detected by the receiving unit. When no user is proximate to the dispenser, the receiver senses a relatively steady state unchanging input. When a user is proximate to the dispenser, the environment is altered by the motion of the user and the detector portion of the sensor means detects a changing signal which indicates the proximity of the user. This change in frequency causes the sensor to deliver a signal to the controller portion of the dispenser. One embodiment of the invention includes a sensing means that is installed in the dispenser case adjacent to the chemical delivery means. Commonly, the motion of the users hands triggers the sensor and delivers the chemical directly into the users hands. In this embodiment, the sensor is typically positioned within a sufficient distance to the dispensing proximity of the hands to the sensor inherently positions the hands of the user at a location such that the dispenser expresses the material directly into the users hand. The term "personal care chemical" relates to a chemical in a liquid or solid form that is typically applied to hair, skin, mouth, fingernails or any other exterior surface of the human body. The term "personal care liquid chemical" includes a pumpable material including liquid foams, gels, solutions, dispersions that can be made using a liquid vehicle, such as water or a solvent, to dissolve or suspend active and inactive materials. The term "personal use chemical" typically means a liquid or powdered material that can be used by an individual in day to day life. Such chemicals can be used to clean clothing, polish shoes, clean spectacles or contact lens, or provide functional material common in day to day lives of people in an institutional or industrial setting. For the purpose of this application, the term "message" includes an artificial (or synthetic) message or a recorded (digital or analog recording) audio message. The message can be generated by a electronic or mechanical means for generating messages that can be heard by the user. Such means include phonographic disc players, semi-conductor or integrated circuit devices that play an analog or digitally recorded speech, speech synthesizers, tape players, CD players etc. The term "message" can also include a visual message generated by a video screen, lighted scrolled message panel, stationary grid light display or any other visually detected message generating means used in conjunction with the aural message.
FIG. 1 is a perspective front elevational view of the interactive dispenser 10. The dispenser has a housing 11 conformed to the appearance of a fictitious, fabricated or mythical bear image 12. The fictional bear image 12 contains a variety of facial features including a mouth area 13. The interactive dispenser 10 contains a transducer that can provide an aural message. Such messages produced by a transducer (not shown) mounted on the interior of the housing and operatively coupled to the holes in the mouth area 13. The housing 11 covers a liquid dispenser 14 which includes a source of the personal care liquid dispensed by the dispenser, a detector that detects the presence of a user, a message generating system that provides a message signal to the transducer, a power supply and means to dispense the personal care or use liquid. In one aspect of the invention, the housing 11 also contains a motion detector or IR detector that can detect the presence of the user apart from the input that is derived from operation of the dispenser.
FIG. 2 is an exploded isometric view of the opened interior of the interactive dispenser 10 shown in FIG. 1. FIG. 2 shows the interactive dispenser 10 covered by the housing 11. Inside the interactive dispenser 10 is shown the source of personal care or use liquid, a dispensing means for the liquid, a power supply, an electronic circuit for detecting the presence of a user and for generating a message signal, and a transducer for providing an aural message to the user.
FIG. 3 shows the reverse of the dispenser shown in FIG. 1. The dispenser can be mounted on a wall using the mounting means including adhesive strips.
In somewhat greater detail, the interactive dispenser can comprise dispenser components installed within a housing. The housing is typically shaped and configured to the form of a mythical, fictional, cartoon-like or the actual form of an existing human being or animal. Such appearance can comprise a portion of the individual or the entire individual body. The typical form of the housing is the head of the individual containing a mouth that can provide speech, that can take the form of any actual, fictional or cartoon-like human or animal shape. Human shapes can include celebrities, cartoon figures, fictional or historical figures, promotional figures, etc. The housing can also be conformed to the shape of a fictional, mythical or cartoon-like animal including bears, raccoons, birds, fish, dolphins, whales, sports mascots, cartoon animals, and others.
In the instance that the housing is configured for children, the housing can take the form of a clown, a children's storybook figure, marketing figures directed to younger populations, etc. The appearance of the housing should correspond to a degree to the message provided by the interactive dispenser. The message should not contradict the obvious character of the speaking portion of the dispenser.
The housing can be a removable housing placed directly over the internal working components of the dispenser. Alternatively, the housing can simply be a removable or replaceable shelf that can be placed over an intact dispenser using removable housing attachments.
The housing, and the important structural components of the dispenser can be molded of a variety of useful materials. Thermoplastic and thermosetting or composite materials can be used to make the housing. Alternatively, the housing can be made from metallic elements, however, polymeric thermoplastic or thermosetting (composite) materials are preferred. Preferably, the housing, dispenser components, etc. can be molded in one or more unitary pieces through the use of conventional plastic injection molding, thermoforming, blow molding, etc. techniques. A variety of plastic polymeric materials can be used in fabricating the holder including polyethylene, polypropylene, ABS plastics, urethane resins, nylon resins and others. Preferred plastic materials include sytrenic materials such as polystyrene or ABS, polyethylene, and polypropylene.
The housing can be blow molded, injection molded, sculptured, shaved, cut or otherwise formed into the shape of the individual delivering the message. After shaping, the housing can be outlined, colored, or otherwise augmented to provide highlighted or colored features corresponding to the individual. Additionally, the housing can have teeth, whiskers, spectacles, hair, or other appearance attributes applied to the housing to increase visibility, recognition or realism.
The housing should include facial features that can provide a message. Such facial features typically include mouth or mouth parts including lips, teeth, optionally larynx and other speech generating equipment. Such features in the housing can be closely associated with a transducer that can produce speech.
The dispenser contains a source of the liquid chemical and means to dispense the liquid chemical. As discussed below, the chemical can be provided in the form of a cartridge or flexible bag containing the chemical. Typically, the cartridge or flexible bag has a dispensing port from which the liquid chemical can be delivered to the user. Such a port can work cooperatively with dispensing means actuated by the user. The dispensing means can be a simple mechanical valve or pump, an electrical generated pump, or any other known device that can produce a useful volume of the liquid chemical. The dispenser of the invention typically provides about 0.25 to 5 milliliters of liquid chemical for use depending on the type of use chemical. For liquid hand soap or sanitizing hand soap, the amount of soap can range from about 1 to about 3 milliliters in volume. A preferred means of delivering the liquid from the dispenser comprises a flexible compressible tube that can act as a pump portion. When used, the user compresses a bar or other feature on the front of the housing. Such compression forces a compressing surface against the flexible tube. The flexible tube contains internal valve means that prevent backflow of the liquid from the tube into the bag or cartridge. The compression of the tube and the valves cooperate to ensure that the liquid is expressed from the flexible tube into the hands of the user. The flexible tube is typically positioned in the housing in a location convenient to the location of the housing portion that triggers dispensing of the liquid.
The inactive dispenser of the invention comprises an exterior shell or case that can include the working parts of the dispenser. The dispenser can be placed in any location such that the sensor can detect the proximity of a user and supply the user with chemical. The dispenser can be permanently or removably mounted on a wall or counter surface using mounting means. Further, the dispenser can be configured for table top use. Such a table top dispenser can have a support or base that maintains the dispenser in a position or attitude such that the user can approach the dispenser, and become sufficiently proximate to the dispenser to trigger the sensor and the release of the care or use chemical.
The shell or case also comprises a containment means or holding means for the chemical. Such a holding means can comprise a reservoir or chamber that can contain a sufficient quantity of chemical to satisfy requirements for a period of use of the chemical. A period of use can comprise one day, two days, a week, two weeks or a month or more of use. The period of use depends on the type of chemical, its shelf life and rate of use. Such holding means can comprise a volume within the case of at least 50 ml, preferably 100 ml to 5 liters of volume. Most preferably, the volume of the holding means is about 150 to 500 ml for reasons of convenience and ease of insertion.
In a preferred mode, the chemical is encased in a flexible bag or cartridge that can be inserted into the holding means of the case. A cartridge can have any arbitrary shape. Useful shapes include cylinders, cubes, rectangular solids, triangular solids, cones, truncated cones, bottle shapes, or any arbitrary shape designed to fit particularly in a holding means of a particular dispenser. Such bags or cartridge shapes can have unique shapes to ensure that a cartridge is designed to fit in a particular dispenser and intended to dispense a particular chemical. Such bags or cartridges can be made from cardboard, paperboard, etc.; metallic substances such as aluminum, metallized polyester; thermoplastic such as polyethylene, polypropylene, polyethylene terephthalate, polyvinyl chloride, polystyrene, a thermoplastic composite material, etc. Such cartridges can be sized as discussed above to contain a sufficient volume or weight of chemical to satisfy requirements for a given period.
The liquid chemical can be provided in the form of the contents of a flexible bag. The contents can be removed by applying pressure to the bag or by pumping liquid from a tube attached to the bag.
The bag or cartridge of the invention is typically equipped with a closed chemical port. Typically, the port comprises a flexible tube from which the liquid can be dispensed. The bag or cartridge is designed to deliver the chemical through the port after the closed port is opened. The port can be opened by removal of a closing membrane, piercing a membrane, removing a screw cap, or separating any of a variety of conventional closing means from the cartridge portal. In a preferred mode, the portal is covered by a cap or a paper, film, metallized film, or other thin piercable web closure. When the cartridge is inserted into the holding means, the web closure contacts an opening means that can pierce the web closure. The opening means is shaped and configured to provide a sufficient aperture in the web closure to permit a sufficient volume of the chemical to be dispensed for appropriate operation. The opening means can be configured to remove the portion of the opening means away from the portal to ensure that the opening does not become plugged. Such a bag or cartridge can be loosely fitted into the holding means of the case or can be shaped to conform exactly to the exterior shape of the cartridge. The holding means can also include a lid or cover such that the cartridge is fully enclosed by the case and cover. Such a cover can be removable or can be hingedly attached or slidingly attached to the case.
The interactive dispenser of the invention can be used to dispense a powdered, liquid, etc. chemical in the form of a liquid personal use or care chemical. Such materials can include hand cleaners, sanitizing hand cleaners, hand and body lotion, sunblocks, sunscreens, poison ivy treatment materials, burn ointments, body treatments, etc. Such materials are typically formulated on an aqueous or aqueous alcoholic liquid. The preferred material for use in the dispenser of the invention is a liquid hand soap, a sanitizing hand soap, a body soap or shampoo for personal care. Such materials are formulated to remove mixed soils, typically having an oily or fatty base. Such soaps are generally based on an aqueous solution or suspension containing an organic surfactant material. Such materials can be formulated with surfactants, builders, organic additives, perfumes, dyes, humectants, stabilizers, moisturizing agents, sanitizing agents, sequestrants, etc. The typical hand cleaner and sanitizing hand cleaner are well known materials having useful viscosities for dispensing. The liquid soap can be dispensed from the dispenser in the form of a liquid cleaner or foam.
In the instance that the dispenser generates a foam chemical, the cartridge insert can comprise or include a pressurized cartridge insert. Such cartridge inserts are typically metallic cans filled with chemical and/or propellant. The cans are often typically equipped with a valve system which when actuated, can release the propellant or can use the propellant to express the material within the can through a foaming orifice. Typical propellants include carbon dioxide, propane, nitrous oxide and other well known hydrocarbon propellant gases.
The case includes a sensing means that can detect the proximity of a user. The sensor when prompted by the proximity of the user delivers a signal to the controller mechanism of the dispenser that causes the delivery of the useful quantity of the chemical from the delivery means of the dispenser and the aural message that can either be heard by the user. The sensor is typically mechanically or electronically coupled to a controller having electrically components that drive the chemical delivery system and the message delivery system.
Sensors that can be used to detect the proximity of a user include any of a variety of sensors commonly used. Such sensors can generate a signal upon use of the dispenser sensing energy such as ultrasonic energy having a frequency greater the 25,000 Hz, sound energy having a frequency less than 25,000 Hz (typically from about 100 to 10,000 Hz), light energy, heat energy, electrical energy or any other sensing means that can trigger an appropriate signal. Preferred sensing means include detection of the use of the dispenser. Such use of the dispenser is typically sensed through the operation of a button, push bar, or other mechanical or electrical pumping device that can cause dispensing of the liquid chemical from the dispenser. Such a bar is coupled to an electronic control system which then is actuated to produce the message signal which is transferred to the transducer resulting in production of the aural message.
The interactive dispenser of the invention contains means to generate a message that can be heard by the user. Such means typically includes an electronic controller circuit coupled to a transducer. Electronic controller circuits that can generate a message include large integrated circuit devices that can be programmed to develop a synthesized speech which can be directed through an amplifier into the transducer for message delivery. Alternate means for generating a message include prerecorded tape messages, prerecorded compact disk messages, computer derived synthetic speech, or any other known electronic means that can provide a message to the user. Such means to provide the message to the user typically is triggered by the sensor discussed above. The sensor which detects the use of the dispenser or the presence of the user provides a signal to the electronic control means which then produces the message signal which is then transferred to the transducer which converts the signal into the appropriate message for the user. For the purpose of this invention, the term "transducer" indicates a mechanical or electrical device that can change the message signal into an aural message that can be heard by the user. Common transducers include audio speakers, etc. A preferred means to produce the message signal includes programmable integrated circuit devices that are programmed to provide short messages having 1 to 50 words.
The message delivered by the interactive dispenser of the invention can be any message that can be appropriate from the identity of the individual delivering the message, can be any message relating to the personal care chemical or personal use chemical, can be a message directed to safety of using the environment of the dispenser, or can be any arbitrary message in an informational, promotional, educational entertainment, etc. In a preferred mode, the message delivered by the interactive dispenser relates to the use of the liquid hand soap or the sanitizing liquid hand soap. Such a message can be directed to the appropriate use of the hand soap to ensure cleanliness and substantial reductions in microorganisms in the user. The message can remind the user to use the dispenser, can instruct the user in the appropriate operation of the dispenser or other related equipment, can promote cooperation and intelligent use of the dispenser by groups of individuals using the facilities. The interactive dispenser can provide one, two or more messages at each use of the dispenser. In such a mode, an instructional message can be combined with a promotional message or an informational message can be coupled with an entertainment message. Typically, the messages are short, last less than one minute and are delivered using a voice that is appropriate to the dispenser configuration, the likely audience and the environment of the dispenser. Examples of typical messages that have been developed for different aspects of the dispenser of the invention are as follows:
Ronald Message
1) Thanks for remembering to wash your hands.
2) Hand washing is an important part of staying healthy and preventing the spreading of germs.
3) Now that your hands are clean you are ready to eat. Enjoy your meal.
Bear Dispenser
1) Hi, I'm EcoBear the automatic hand soap dispenser.
2) Did you know there are many different types of bears in North America; Black Bears, Polar Bears, Grizzly Bears, and Brown Bears.
3) EcoBear says, "don't forget to wash your hands".
FIG. 1 is a perspective view of the interactive dispenser of the invention. The interactive dispenser 10 comprises a housing conformed into the shape of an individual 11 attached to a liquid dispenser 14. The housing is conformed to the shape of a cartoon-like or fictional bear character. The bear character has typical features including ears 18, nose 19, eyes 17, mouth and mouth region 13. The liquid dispenser 14 (partially hidden) contains the working dispenser apparatus for providing the personal use or personal care liquid to the user. In this embodiment, the user interacts with the push bar 15 which pumps personal use or personal care liquid from a container 21 (not shown, see FIG. 2) through a tube 29 (not shown, see FIG. 2) out of nozzle 16 hidden by the push bar 15. The liquid dispenser 14 contains means to generate an aural message signal that is delivered to a transducer (not shown) that delivers the message from the housing 11. The transducer is positioned behind the mouth area 13 such that the transducer (not shown) provides the aural message through the message apertures 13 in the housing 11. In this way, the message is associated with the mouth region of the individual and appears natural and understandable by even the youngest user. The liquid dispenser 14, not including the individual shaped housing and the message generating means, is similar to the dispenser shown in Olson et al., U.S. Pat. No. 5,248,066, which is expressly incorporated by reference herein.
FIG. 2 is a view of an open interactive dispenser 10. FIG. 2 shows the reverse view of the housing 11 and reveals the internal components of the message signal generating system including a printed circuit board 23, a message generating component 24, a transducer (speaker) 25 and wire connections 26 between the printed circuit board 24 and the speaker 25. In operation, when the push bar 15 is depressed, the detection of the use of the push bar triggers the generation of a message signal in the electronic component 24 of the printed circuit board 23. The message signal leaves the printed circuit board 23, passes through the wires 26 and is delivered from the speaker 25. The interior of the dispenser also includes a flexible bag 21 containing the personal care or personal use liquid of the invention. The personal care or use liquid is delivered through tube 29 having a nozzle 16 to the user when pumped by the push bar 15. The flexible bag of the personal care liquid is supported in the dispenser using housing 22 shown in phantom. The housing also includes a closing latch means 27 which interacts with a cooperative mating means 32 to hold the dispenser closed when used. In one alternative, an electric pump 28 can be installed to pump personal care liquid from the flexible bag 21 through the tube 29 out of nozzle 16.
FIG. 3 is a reverse perspective view of the rear of the interactive dispenser 10 of the invention. A portion of the housing 11 can be seen. The dispenser can be mounted on a wall using attachment means 31 (adhesive strips 35 covered by release liners 36). In use, the release liners 36 are removed exposing the sticky adhesive surface 35 which mounts easily to a use locus.
The above specification, examples and data provide a complete description of the manufacture and use of the combination of the invention. Since many embodiments of the invention can be made without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention, the invention resides in the claims hereinafter appended.

Arizona Cardinals
Cards' Kingdom: Speed can and will be taught
They say you can't teach speed.
If that was the case, Arizona Cardinals assistant strength and conditioning/speed coach Roger Kingdom might be out of a job according to his own policy.
"If you couldn't teach speed, then so many people would be out of business." Kingdom told the Dan Bickley Show with Vince Marotta on Arizona Sports 98.7 FM.
"The bottom line is even with the guys with talent, their speed is still taught. Somebody has to refine it and bring it out."
Kingdom is a two-time Olympic gold medalist in 110-meter hurdles and is a member of the USA Track and Field Hall of Fame. He also attended the University of Pittsburgh where he ran track and played football alongside NFL Hall of Famers Dan Marino and Chris Doleman.
The Cardinals hired Kingdom last month and he will join Pete Alosi and Buddy Morris on the strength and conditioning staff.
Kingdom spent the past 10 years as the director of the track and field and cross-country programs at California University of Pennsylvania.
"My major focus here with the Cardinals is to teach them the proper speed application, while at the same time helping them to transfer the strength that they develop in the weight room onto the field without losing a step," Kingdom said.
"We're very anxious about getting started with them on the 21st, and just by having conversations with a lot of these guys, they are anxious too. They are thinking about it and some of them at this point want to try it on their own. That's okay too, but when they get here, I'll be able to now use that keen eye to look at if they are doing it properly."
Kingdom expects his training workouts to complement head coach Bruce Arians' style of play and practice, and to increase the overall speed and agility of the team.
"I think if you combine the stuff that we do in the weight room along with explosive things like that on the field, then you're going to see a lot of these guys improving in their quickness and also their top speed," Kingdom said.
"I was always taught that if you want to be up there, you have to train like one. It starts every day at practice making sure that everything you do is going to mimic your play on the field."

Blah, blah I'm a sensitive soul with blah blah.
Foremost, I've always been optimistic in that over-the-rainbow, things will be always be great, kind of way. I love my life, because I have worked very hard throughout and have been extremely lucky along the way. That being said almost everyone I've ever met while working, or more specifically in my profession, is out of their damn mind, so I'm nice but also reserve the right to back away slowly If I sense someone is short bus special. I've essentially lived in Northern New Jersey my whole life, but I may have as well have been raised in Puerto Rico. Almost no one speaks English as their primary language in my hometown, while many do not speak English at all. Ironically, I have often been told I sound like a news anchor, so everyone assumes I'm adopted. If I am the mailman's baby, that's okay, because he is cool people. I love my friends, emotionally most of them are 5, so it works. They also know me well enough to call me on my crap. I have a tendency to speak bluntly, but with affection. Life is too short to have a perpetual business face. I'd like to meet someone who can challenge me, intellectually or otherwise.
Coffee and conversation , Dining out , Movies/Videos , Museums and art , Music and concerts , Exploring new areas , Performing arts , Religion/Spiritual , Video games

I exercise 5 or more times per week.
I like all music that has words, except country.
I love museums. I try to drink on Sunday, because I feel like Jesus would appreciate it. Also, shout out to my boring people who like sleep.
I generally only like reading the news. After graduate school reading got beat out of me.

Ovidence is piling up that Obama orchestrated this migration
To The Daily Sun,
Please read Jon Hoyt's letters to the editor dated June 26 and 28 for a fascinating read on how a liberal, utopian spin doctor escapes reality while pretending to have a clue about what the heck he is talking about. Now, if Jon chooses to chastise me for labeling him as such, then he might want to start making more sense and stop sounding like he actually believes President Obama is a better president than Jimmy Carter.
As we try to understand the world according to Hoyt from Plymouth, try this on for size: He says, while referencing the GOP, "They love it when you have to depend on government handouts because they are in control of you." Geez, apparently I have been under the illusion that it is the Democrats who like to have citizens on government largesse. You know, nanny statists and all that. He goes on to say that the GOP has done nothing about jobs and the economy. Again, seems I have been under the illusion that Democrats control two-thirds of our current government and that Harry Reid's Senate has been a graveyard for any common sense economic legislation. Jon then bemoans the fact that there won't be any social programs coming out of D.C. Perhaps we should get rid of all the ones that haven't worked for decades before we throw some new ones out there to see what sticks. Whadaya think Jon?
The previous leftist gibberish was from his June 26 letter. His June 28 letter is even better. He says, "Central American countries advertise Obama as tough on immigration which means there is no open invitation to come to the USA." But then he claims that the young and female are easily manipulated and translation problems can make them think they are welcome in our country. So is Jon really saying the parents of these kids have such poor comprehension of their native language that they are confused about our porous border situation and amnesty inclinations? Perhaps these hazy, lazy, crazy days of summer have caused Jon some cerebral disorientation.
President Obama has refused to obey our immigration laws while our Border Patrol agents are too busy changing diapers and feeding babies to do the job of protecting our borders and keeping us secure. The Democrats are too busy using the obfuscation techniques of Saul Alinsky to deal with this crisis in any meaningful way. They would rather play silly semantic games of feel-good, social justice nonsense. Illegal alien, undocumented worker, illegal immigrant, migrant, and now, "unlawful migration." The main goal of the Democrats is to ensure we don't hurt the feelings of anyone who is here illegally.
Here's a reality check for Jon. Congressman Bob Goodlatte has forwarded four reasonable immigration bills to the Senate where Harry "the feckless wonder" Reid sneers, throws them in a drawer and shakes his head in utter disdain.
Here is what congressman Bob Goodlatte has proposed: for some illegal immigrants, under certain conditions, there would be a path for them to get in line with those who have applied to come here in the proper legal manner. It addresses border security, interior enforcement, guest visas and high skilled worker visas. A comprehensive, step by step, incremental and fully public approach.
Evidence is continuing to pile up suggesting that President Obama orchestrated this "unlawful migration" with untold thousands from Central America flocking here, assuming their dream of asylum will be realized. I think Lou Dobbs is right on when he says that our president is ignoring the very civil rights that he claims he aspires to as the leader of this country. Lou goes on to assert that Obama is crushing the civil rights of all American citizens, including all the immigrants who came her legally.
One talk show host recently said that if Richard Nixon was seen as the imperial president, then Barack Obama must be seen as the rogue president. That seems spot on given our dear leader's pronouncement that he will go it alone to get his social justice transformation completed. After all the slap-down decisions against Obama's policies and executive orders by the Supreme Court, that takes an uncommon level of chutzpah. Wouldn't you say so Jon? Probably not. Such is the lot of leftist letter writers who choose to live in the la la land of imaginary, liberal utopia.

Go back to 18th Century if youl like but don't take us with you
To The Daily Sun,
Mr. Boutin, in his concentration on capitalizing as many words as he can and his blindly spitting venom, shows a callous disregard for the facts and a sad lack of concern for anyone but those who already have it made.
The attitude that shows through his rants is a prime example as to why our United States is going to "hell in a hand basket". Along with the rightwing majority on the Supreme Court, corporate greed, governors and those in Congress who have been bought and paid for by the one percenters.
He seems to have a personal hatred of President Obama — like many of the older white men who seem to be discombomulated by the fact that a man like Barack Obama is in the White House. How much more insulting do you want to be toward the President of the United States? How many more lies and misleading statements will you write about his administration? Are you being arrogant on purpose?
Who knows where to begin with the lies you want us to believe in your letter: "You'd Think Obama Would Be Last Person to Attack Other's Freedom's"? "Three time loser", huh? Making recess appointments has been the right and privilege of many presidents up to and including this one. Why does this suddenly bother you now, and never before?
"...another knockdown blow to union power"'. Huh? Unions are the very reason why we had a middle class in his country. Before unions child labor was routine, as were a 60-80 hour work week, a 7 day work week, substandard wages, sweat shops, unsafe working conditions, no protections for workers against abuse, no overtime pay, no compensation in the form of health benefits such as sick time, no remuneration to families who had a loved one die because of horrific working conditions. By Mr. Boutin's logic he should be calling for the return of slavery. Bingo — no unions, and total control over their labor. Unions also helped lead to regulations to prevent the sale of unsafe food and other products.
"All they do is drive up costs for every person buying their product or service.". Huh? How about facing the reality that manufacturers have taken their businesses overseas to countries where they can hire very cheap labor, produce inferior goods, with no safeguards in place, then in turn ship them back here and sell them to consumers? Do they then lower the price we all pay? Do they then raise their workers' salaries at the same rate as their profits increase? No: they use higher profits to hike their executives' salaries, and to buy lobbyists and politicians to make sure that American workers are pushed down even more..
"Unions never stop trying to increase their treasure chest...' Huh? How about all of the profits made over the years by the one percenters who own companies and threaten their workers with retribution if they join a union? Corporations are the very last entity who want unions interfering with their labor practices. You write with a straight face about this knowing full well that corporations use their profits to fund PACs and think tanks and puppet-politicians.
"The Supremes determined 'Obamacare' treads all over the religious freedoms guaranteed under the Constitution." Huh? Of course you are referring to Hobby Lobby. If the owners of that company were not fundamentalist Christians but were, say, conservative Muslims, I bet we wouldn't have heard a peep from you about the issue. This country is supposed to have a strict separation of church and state. This Supreme Court is perverting the intent of the Founding Fathers.
On your last point: the other setback for the entire United States is when the Supreme Court decided that we no longer need voter rights' protection. With that sweep of the broad brush governors who "rule" their states from the right are happily restricting days and times of voting in elections, restricting registration, using voter ID requirements specifically tailored against the poor, seniors, and the young, and other measures to erode one of our most basic freedoms. All the time they lie by bringing up the red herring of "voter fraud." When we were in school, we were taught that in America voters choose their government. With voter suppression government is now trying to choose its voters.
From your letters it appears that you want to bring us back to your "good old days" of the 18th century. If you want to return to that life, please don't try to drag the rest of America back with you. And remember: in your Utopia there were no keyboards, and thus no way for you to capitalize at will.

Invest in USA, we all know it can be done but how is the question
To The Daily Sun,
As usual, the GOP, led by a confused leader named Boehner, has found a reason to impeach or sue the president (using immigration as an excuse) and they even learned a new word to use. "Lawlessness" is the new word and has been used by Boehner, Bachmann, Cruz, Rubio and more. They went right from Impeach to Lawlessness while skipping the J and K.
The GOP refuses to do anything about immigration, so might as well sue Obama for not doing what the GOP has refused to do. Sounds confusing to me too. But Boehner, along with many of the GOP, keep on pointing fingers to blame Obama for things he didn't do. Just because they don't like the laws Bush, HR-7311, signed we still have to follow them until they are changed.
Will the Congress allocate the money the president wants to fight this problem? I doubt if the Tea Party types will allocate it, but the reasonable GOP might be convinced too.
It is time to stop the political games and misleading the public. Right, Gov. Perry? Governor, you do sound like you're back on those pain killers again — whoops. If these were your relatives or friends you would do whatever you could to help them. As a guess probably 70 to 80 percent of these immigrants are decent-hard working people. If they could find jobs (remember that word Boehner), they would do whatever just to stay here to make a honest living. But there are also many home-grown citizens who would like to do the same if they had jobs. And there are many legal immigrants who would do the same if given the chance. So it all comes down to some type of work.
We have a country that needs a good cleaning, infrastructure that needs rebuilding, industry that needs to be reinvented and invested in. Invested in by people — not like Mitt Romney, who would rather rape it, close it up and pocket the assets — but by people who want it to grow, expand and last for a few generations. People who will pay a fair living wage. We all know it can be done but how is the question. Just because the Statue of Liberty faces east doesn't mean we only help those coming from the east.

We can reduce the projected Laconia tax rate increase to 25¢
To The Daily Sun,
While most people don't express publicly their views on city matters, particularly the budget, I know they do care how we, the city councilors, spend their money. Not just the amount but on what we spend it for.
People do care about their taxes going up, and people who rent, do care about rent increases and where that rent money goes. It is important that all citizens are considered when making decisions with their money and that is why we have a diversified council. We have had lawyers, bankers, CEOs, Realtors, farmers, workers, and retired people over the years and it is their duty to consider not only their constituents, but all the people of Laconia when it comes to spending their money. It affects every person.
Being one of those retired, ordinary people, I am in and about the city every day, visiting local stores and meeting people I know as well as people continually coming up to me and expressing their thoughts and giving me their support, so it was very disappointing that no one appeared at the public hearing on June 22.
There are items that might need to be cut, and again there are issues that need to be funded that are not in the budget. The safety and well-being of all of us rests with our great Police Department which at present is very overworked but still doing a great job in trying to keep crime and drug problems down so that we may walk about our city with a sense of security. I am supporting the hiring of a full-time or part-time officer to help in this endeavor. It is not in the present budget.
The School Department budget is $1 million more than last year. I advocate cutting this $60,000. I am also advocating other cuts in the city budget so we can reduce the projected tax rate increase of 31 cents to 25 cents or less.
Regarding the Fire Department, we accepted a grant from the federal government for four firefighters that would pay for their salaries, health insurance and retirement, etc., to the tune of over $600,000 for two years. In the budget there is a five-week salary-and-benefits line for these firefighters as their term will expire before the end of the budget year. We would save $32,000 by cutting this line. To continue employing the four firefighters that were funded by a grant, it will cost the city close to $400,000 per year more in next year's budget and every year thereafter. Grants are great until they run out. We were not committed to retaining them and in fact, the council originally rejected the grant for this reason.
I also advocate cutting some of the WOW trail's $15,000, simply because just a few months ago, we gave them $400,000 from TIF funds. Cutting $25,000 from Court Street Study was also recommended, but these funds can come from the TIF fund, not the budget.
There are some other minor cuts and some increased revenue that should get us to at least the 25 cent tax rate figure and allow us to do something with the Police Department's needs.
When doing the budget, you can't just look at the present year. You have to be looking ahead to the next year and the year after. Are we going to be able to afford an additional $400,000 for the four firefighters hired because of grant funds? Are we making progress to avoid the Cadillac tax coming because of the Affordable Care Act. What effect will the Belknap County Prison have on Laconia next year or the year after? Not only will it be significant in itself, but the new prison will require additional personnel and that figure will be substantial.

Susan Estrich - Love of country
Every four years, at some point in the presidential campaign, one candidate says something that leads the other to accuse him (or her) of challenging his (or her) patriotism, and then we have a 48-hour spat over who called who unpatriotic, and then we go back to the usual political game in which talking heads viciously attack each other 24/7.
Does Barack Obama love America? Of course he does. Does he hate white people? No. Did George W. Bush hate America? Of course he didn't. Both men have made mistakes. Who in that job has not?
On the Fourth of July, we put on our flag pins or fly flags on our front lawns and celebrate the miracle of democracy.
Is Congress made up of a bunch of greedy fools? No. It is, in my experience, made up of men and women more talented than most, who end up playing a game that most of them did not dream of playing when they were growing up and dreaming of going to Washington, D.C.
Does the Supreme Court (whose popularity rating has reached an all-time low) comprise a bunch of political hacks who just cast their votes based on who put them there? Actually, no. They have very different views and ideologies, but these men and women work unbelievably hard to do what they believe is right, and while I fundamentally disagree with them some of the time, no serious student of the Supreme Court would ever agree with the more foolish criticisms hurled at the justices by folks who often know nothing about how the court works.
We take it for granted that our institutions are stable, or we would never dare abuse them as we do. If our right to vote were in jeopardy, we would vote.
If the government really were corrupt, in the way the screamers suggest, we would come together and throw the bums out. We mostly re-elect our members of Congress every two years (and I will regret greatly not being able to vote once again for my congressman Henry Waxman, who has been an amazing public servant) because most of them, when they aren't stuck endlessly raising money or fighting off challenges, try to do what they think is best for their constituents and this country, however much you or I might disagree with their judgment on that.
That old saying about democracy being a terribly flawed system except that every other system is so much worse is true, and it is also true that we are the luckiest people in the world to be able to take as much for granted as we do.
But taking things for granted can go too far, and one day a year is not enough to right what has become an increasingly ugly tone to the political discourse in this country. The fact that we have the freedom to attack our leaders and institutions without risk of being arrested or censored does not mean anything should go in political discourse. The fact that the Internet allows people to say things anonymously that they would never dare say otherwise does not mean their words are not dangerous or destructive.
We are a great country facing difficult challenges, and we don't all agree on the way to deal with them. But we agree on far more than we disagree on, and we share a fundamental love of country that should, at the end of the day, and does, when things get bad enough, transcend our differences. It is too bad it takes a disaster, or the Fourth of July, for us to call on that strength.

Via HoopsHype, we discovered this video clip of former 76er and future Basketball Hall of Fame member Allen Iverson balling in China over this past weekend.
As we all know, there have been numerous rumors since the end of the summer that "The Answer" was headed to China in an attempt to continue his basketball career. Former two-time NBA scoring champ Tracy McGrady, who had a decent season for the Atlanta Hawks in 2011-12, recently made the jump to the CBA and will officially sign with the Qingdao club later this week.
Anyways…on Saturday, Iverson and some other NBA cast-offs appeared in an exhibition game against the Beijing Ducks who are the reigning 2012 Chinese Basketball Association champions. As you may know, the Ducks' roster boasts the rejuvenated Stephon Marbury (33.4 pts., 6.2 dimes & 4 rbs. a night during the CBA Finals back in April). The Beijing Ducks beat the USA invitational team in the exhibition game, and Iverson scored only four points.
Iverson video clip after the jump as well as an update on Allen's potential move to China.

- Bob Przybylo, Reporter, RecruitingNation
If ever a play was a microcosm of a player, it happened Friday night for Oklahoma wide receiver commit Jordan Smallwood (Jenks, Okla./Jenks).
Smallwood, a three-star recruit whose only other offer was to Wyoming, played with that chip on his shoulder throughout his senior season.
In the Oklahoma Class 6A state championship against Norman (Okla.) North, Jenks faced a fourth-and-2 from the Norman North 27-yard line.
Smallwood, who is 6-foot-2 and 190 pounds, showed exactly what he will bring to the table when he gets to Norman, Okla., in 2013. He caught the sideline route for the first down, then stiff-armed a defender on the way to a touchdown. Jenks rolled to the gold ball with a 55-20 victory, its first championship in five years.
"I didn't want to end my career without a championship," Smallwood said. "Everything that's happened led to this moment. I'm going to enjoy it."
Smallwood had four catches for 50 yards and two touchdowns in the championship game.
Jenks had been looking up at rival Tulsa (Okla.) Union lately. Tulsa Union was the four-time defending state champions, and beat Jenks in the first week of the season. Revenge was sweet for Smallwood and Jenks in a dominant, 41-10 victory in the semifinals.
Jenks closed the season 12-2, winning its last 12 games. Smallwood said the second loss of the season woke the team up.
Going against Texas powerhouse DeSoto, Smallwood missed the game with a shoulder injury and DeSoto pulled away in the second half.
"We didn't like that," Smallwood said. "We would love another shot at them, but all we could do was focus on us and getting that championship."
Smallwood finished the season with 48 catches for 834 yards and 11 touchdowns. Now he's ready to turn his attention toward the Sooners.
"Oh, I can't wait," Smallwood said. "Every time I go there I feel better and better about my choice. That's going to be my home, and we're going to do big things."
Smallwood will suit up one more time as a high school player, representing Jenks and Oklahoma as part of the Semper Fidelis All-American Game in January.
"That's such an honor," Smallwood said. "When I think of where I was a few months ago to how things have happened now, it's incredible. I won't let myself or OU down."

life is great! :)
I really am someone who holds family values high in life. I was brought up in a strong Italian/Catholic household. I work hard to be a professional and reach goals. I went to Arizona State University for bachelors & Masters Degrees. I studied business for my undergrad degree and Information Management for graduate degree. WP Carey School of business did me good! :) Balance in life is essential! I will never stop smiling and having fun no matter what my career or life brings along. I really like chilling at home, watching movies, starting a whole TV series, hanging out with family, but I also really like being outside hiking, on the water or running around. I do love to travel... Cruises, exploring other countries, weekend getaways, there is so much to do and see! I try to go to new places as much as I can. I enjoy working out, hiking, basically anything fitness and things of that nature in my life. I have to keep fit as it's my way for me to stay in shape physically and mentally. I do cook and enjoy it!! :) do it a lot now actually, whenever I am home... You really have to learn how when you live on your own and want to eat well. Let's break some bread! :) For the past 9 plus years, I have been highly involved with some non-profits in the valley and do enjoy giving back to the community, families, children and essentially, humanity.. I am looking for a woman who is independent and who has some drive and ambition in life. A woman who has a real job or career, and is educated. I am NOT looking for a girl who just wants to be taken care of...but rather a WOMAN who can bring something to the relationship because I know I will bring a lot of good things. When a woman is intelligent and successful it is very attractive. Also, one who is not materialistic and is more down to earth and can hold a conversation. :) I believe in trust and respect and hold that high.
