1. Field of the Invention
This invention relates to footwear, and in particular to footwear in which light emitting diodes (LEDs) are incorporated in the laces of the footwear.
2. Discussion of Related Art
Numerous lighting arrangements for footwear have been previously proposed or are currently being marketed. Such lighting arrangements enhance safety by increasing the visibility of the wearer while at the same time adding to the attractiveness of the footwear. For example, U.S. Pat. Nos. 4,848,009, 5,033,212, 5,329,432, 5,394,312, 5,371,662, 5,438,488, 5,456,032, and 5,457,900 all disclose LED lighting arrangements for footwear. Numerous older arrangements involving incandescent lights are also known.
Unlike the arrangements disclosed in the above-cited patents, the present invention concerns a specific type of footwear illumination arrangement, involving illumination of the laces of a shoe. Illumination of the laces is convenient because assembly of the illumination arrangement to the shoe is simplified, while allowing integration of the illumination arrangement into the overall shoe design to enhance marketability and avoid a retrofitted appearance.
However, illumination of the laces of the shoe presents three particular problems, namely distributing the light over the length of the laces for a bright appearance, preventing damage caused by bending of the laces, and fitting the illumination arrangement into the relatively small available space. While tubular or extended illumination arrangements for footwear other than lace illumination arrangements have also been previously proposed, the previous arrangements have disadvantages and/or are unsuitable for use as laces. For example, U.S. Pat. No. 5,052,131 provides a tube-shaped light arrangement for a sandal in which are situated a plurality of LEDs, but the power compartment is situated in the heel of the sandal, requiring a complicated and weak connection, and assembly and electrical connection of the lights within the tube is also relatively difficult. Alternatively, U.S. Pat. No. 5,502,903 discloses a linear side glow optical conduit and power pack/light source combination which can be affixed to the exterior of footwear to simplify assembly, but which lacks the appeal of an arrangement assembled with the shoe.
On the other hand, illuminated laces have previously been proposed in U.S. Pat. No. 5,430,621, in which an LED is used as the lighting source and the light from the LED is distributed along the length of the laces by using specially treated fiber-optic bundles. Because the light from the LED is distributed over the length of the laces, however, adequate brightness can be obtained only by using an enhanced brightness LED with an extended turn-on period. This increases the cost of the arrangement and decreases its life, including the life of batteries used as the power source, and consequently is impractical for mass-production and sales.
Another type of illuminated lace arrangement is disclosed in U.S. Pat. No. 4,935,851, in which an LED is provided at ends of a shoelace to light the lace. The use of single LEDs at the ends of the lace has the disadvantage of providing a limited viewing angle, and the electrical connection wires to the centrally positioned power pack are subject to twisting and damage when the laces are tied.
Finally, it has also been proposed, in copending application Ser. Nos. 08/611,049, filed Mar. 5, 1996, and 08/614,001, filed Mar. 11, 1996, to use electro-luminescent lighting arrangements for shoelace illumination, but such arrangements have more complicated electrical requirements and involve higher cost lighting elements than conventional LED-based arrangements. In addition, use of electro-luminescent strips requires special over-tolerance bending prevention arrangements such as special eyelets or narrowing of the strips at turning points of the laces.
Thus, while numerous footwear illumination arrangements have previously been proposed, including arrangements used in laces, none provides a practical, inexpensive, and attractive lace illumination arrangement suitable for either original equipment or retrofitting applications, and which is both mass-producible and mass-marketable.
It is accordingly an objective the invention to provide an illumination arrangement for footwear laces that provides enhanced visibility, manufacturing convenience, useful life, and design flexibility in comparison with previously proposed lace illumination arrangements.
This objective of the invention is achieved, in accordance with several preferred embodiments of the invention, by providing a footwear illumination arrangement in which the illumination is provided by a transparent conductive strip, affixing super compact LEDs along the length of the strip so that they are visible on both sides of the strip, the strip providing flexibility while protecting the electrical connections to the LEDs, and inserting the strip thus constructed into a netting lace material.
In addition, the various preferred embodiments of the invention offer different power pack arrangements suitable for original installation upon assembly of the footwear (OEM) or for after-market applications.
The LEDs used in the preferred embodiments can be selected from a variety of types of conventional miniature LEDs, LED chips, or surface-mounted LED arrangements, or at least have a shape which facilitates mass-assembly. In addition, further advantages are obtained by including, in the power pack for the LEDs, either traditional low cost on/off switching circuitry or more sophisticated integrated circuits that can be used to control the LEDs to generate special effects such as flashing, steady on, fade in-fade out, chasing, and random lighting, or condition-sensitive switches such as the improved motion sensitive switch described in the Inventor's U.S. Pat. No. 5,465,197. The batteries may be arranged according to copending application Ser. No. 08/517,502, filed Aug. 21, 1995, and now U.S. Pat. No. 5,599,088, for an especially efficient and low cost power supply arrangement.
If an integrated circuit is used, multiple functions and a function selection device can be included. The power source can be in the form of conventional dry cell batteries such as button-type batteries, lithium batteries, 9V batteries, and so forth depending on the power pack design.
Footwear to which the principles of the invention may be applied include any type of footwear having laces or straps, including but not limited to athletic shoes, sandals, and skates. In addition, although the principles of the invention are especially suitable for application to laces and straps, it may be possible to extend those principles to any elongated footwear part, including purely or primarily decorative straps and piping.

FIGS. 9, 9-1, and 9-2 are plan views illustrating some of the special effects obtainable with the circuitry of FIGS. 5-7.
FIGS. 10 and 10-1 illustrate the process of assembling a lace according to the principles of the invention.
As illustrated in FIG. 1, the first preferred embodiment of the footwear illumination arrangement of the invention includes a flexible transparent conductive strip 1 made up of conductive members or means 2 having connected thereto a plurality of LEDs 4 sealed within a transparent material 3. To complete the lace, a textile material 5 surrounds the flexible transparent strip 1.
In this embodiment, the power supply for the LEDs 4 of flexible transparent strip 1 is housed within a power pack made up of a first housing member 6 having openings 7 to permit passage of the strip and a central recess for accommodating a circuit board 8 having traces (not shown) electrically connected to the conductive members or means 2 extending from the center of the strip through the netting material 5.
Circuit board 8 includes mounting structures for the batteries 9, and in the illustrated embodiment, a motion sensitive switch of the type disclosed in U.S. Pat. No. 5,465,197, herein incorporated by reference, made up of an outer conductive cylinder 10, a vibration responsive member 11, and an isolation straw 12. Circuit board also may include control circuitry (not shown in this figure).
The power supply housing of the first preferred embodiment of the invention is completed by a second housing member 13 having a dome cover 14 and means (not shown) for attaching the second housing member to the first housing member 6. Attachment means 15 are provided on the first housing member 6 and can take numerous different forms, including stitching, glue, or the illustrated Velcro™ arrangement.
The embodiment of FIG. 2 is similar to that of FIG. 1, except that the strip 1 is replaced by two strips 1' and 1" connected by a small connection board 16 for providing electrical connections between the respective conductive members or means within the strips and wires 17 to the main circuit board 8', on which is mounted an integrated circuit controller 18, a directional motion sensor 19, electrical components 20 (schematically represented), and optional battery terminals 21. In this embodiment, the power supply housing takes the form of a unit 22 having one compartment for the circuit board 8' and another for the battery 23, which instead of a button cell as in the first embodiment is a conventional dry cell or lithium battery. Unit 22 of this embodiment is suitable for positioning in a the outsole of a shoe, or in the hollow of the heel, whether the outsole or heel is a separate unit or not.
It will of course be appreciated by those skilled in the art that neither of the above two embodiments is intended to be limiting in nature, and that features of one embodiment, such as the use of an integrated circuit controller in the second embodiment, or the mounting of the power supply in a shoe outsole or heel, may be freely used in connection with all or some of the structures shown in connection with the other embodiments of the invention.
For example, the embodiment illustrated in FIG. 3 uses the lace structure of FIG. 1 in combination with a separate housing similar to that of FIG. 1, but without the openings for accommodating the lace, the lower housing 6' instead including an opening 24 for permitting passage of wires so that the housing can be mounted elsewhere on the footwear as in the embodiment of FIG. 3, for example inside layers of or on the tongue of the footwear, or elsewhere on the upper surface of the shoe, and can be either exposed or hidden. Similarly, the embodiment of FIG. 4 can use either a one-piece or two-piece strip 1/1',1", a housing in which a lower housing portion 25 includes an opening 26 for accommodating the lace, and a circuit board 8" having arranged thereon button cell batteries 23', circuit components 20', and a push button on/off switch 27, while the upper portion 29 includes posts 30 for providing a snap-fit connection with corresponding openings 31 and 32 in the circuit board 8" and lower housing portion 25, thereby permitting easy battery replacement. Numerous other versions of the illustrated power supply housing can undoubtedly be imagined by those skilled in the art and the present invention is intended to cover all such variations, including variations in the shape and decoration of the housing (for example printing of a trademark or logo 33), and in the location of the housing on the footwear and the means for attaching the housing to the footwear.
In each of the illustrated embodiments of the invention, the distribution of LEDs along the length of flexible transparent strip 1 permits the entire lace to be brightly illuminated without using complicated wiring devices or specifically treated modules, and with low power consumption. However, it will also be appreciated by those skilled in the art that the LEDs need not be equally distributed along the strip, and that the LEDs can instead be located anywhere on the strip. In addition, the strip can be made of one or more sections, the LEDs can be arranged in more than one layer or on more than one side of the strip, and the construction of the transparent material layer 3 can be varied without departing from the scope of the invention, including variation in dimensions.
Typical thicknesses of the strip 1 are between 0.05 mm and 1.0 mm depending on the requirements of the application in which the strip is used, with the width ranging from 1 mm to 10 mm, and less than 6 mm for the most popular laces. Preferably, the strip 1 is shorter than the netting material 5 placed around the strip so as to provide freedom of movement of the strip within the lace material and thereby prevent the strip from being directly pulled by the user when tying the laces. Also, strip 1 may have rounded ends to facilitate insertion of the strip into the netting material 5. The preferred length of the strip is around 15 cm (6") from the center of the textile netting material, although laces can range from 25 cm (10") for boots and hightop athletic shoes to less than 10 cm (4") for baby footwear. It will be appreciated by those skilled in the art that the various parts of the lace are not drawn to scale.
The conductive members or means 2 by which the LEDs are connected to a power supply can be in the form of wires, strips, ribbons, or conductive materials printed onto or sealed inside of the transparent layer by, for example, silk-screening, while the transparent material 3 within which the conductive members or means 2 are sealed can be PVC, Mylar™, or a similar plastic material. Although not shown, connectors and wiring harness of various types can be used with the preferred embodiments, particularly in applications wherein the power supply housing is situated away from the lace, such as in the outsole of a shoe. Use of prearranged connectors can greatly simplify the manufacturing process.
The number of conductive members can be limited to two for a basic parallel connection of the LEDs to be connected thereto, in order to obtain steady state, fade in-fade out, or collective flashing effects, or up to N+1 wires where N is the number of LEDs and each LED is connected between a common wire and a separate wire in order to provide for independent control of the LEDs and thereby obtain any variety of effects, particularly if controlled by an integrated circuit controller as described below. FIG. 8 shows an arrangement of N+1 wires while FIGS. 8-1, 8-2, and 8-3 show simple parallel connections for different size LEDs, with FIGS. 8, 8-1, and 8-2 showing strips having electrical terminals at one end, an FIG. 8-3 showing an arrangement in which the conductive arrangement 2a connects an arbitrary number of LEDs and is connected by wires 2b to the power pack.
As also shown in FIG. 8-2, the transparent conductive strip 1 can be made of an opaque material 39 with cut-outs or transparent areas 38 bridged by the LEDs to permit the LEDs to be visible from both sides of the strip and yet save the cost of the transparent material. Visibility in this alternative can also be enhanced by using an epoxy material to provide optical effects such as image magnification.
The plurality of LEDs 4 must have a size small enough to fit within the parameters of the strip 1 and can be selected from a number of different LEDs commercially available from such vendors as Toshiba of Japan in a variety of colors, including green, yellow, red, and so forth. For example, surface mounted kits 4' and 4", as illustrated respectively in FIGS. 8-1 and 8-2, are available having sizes of around 2.4 mm�2.8 mm (oval) or 1.9 mm�2.1 mm (rectangular), or in the form of LED chips made up of several elements having dimensions of 280 μm�280 μm (11 mil�11 mil) with emission areas of 250 μm �250 μm (10 mil�10 mil) and which can be affixed to the strip by machine to save labor. Conventional LEDs having a diameter of 3 mm to 5 mm, or other sizes of LEDs, could also be used for some applications, and each strip can have one or multiples types of LEDs in one or more colors.
Advantageously, the plurality of LEDs of the illustrated embodiment may be chemically sealed by epoxy or the like to form lens-like optical elements to enlarge the viewing area or form a masking device to make larger bright spots on the transparent conductive strip on both sides.
In each of the illustrated embodiments, on/off control can be provided by a manual switch, automatic switches such as vibration or temperature-responsive, inertial switches, or photo-switches, and/or combinations of different switches, and analog or digital control circuitry with a selector switch can be added for obtaining special multiple element lighting effects, including chasing, fade in/out, random flashing, sequential flashing, or combinations of the above effects all in one unitary circuit.
As illustrated in FIG. 5, for example, the control circuitry can be as simple as a battery 34, a motion sensitive switch 35, and LEDs 36-38 or, as illustrated in FIG. 6, the control circuit can include a fade-in, fade-out circuit 39, which optionally may be activated by a photodiode 40 in addition to the battery 34 and switch 35. Alternatively, the LEDs 36-38 (and additional LEDs not shown) can be individually controlled by an integrated circuit 41 and function select switch 42. The control circuits of FIGS. 5 and 6 only require two wires to connect all of the LEDs in parallel, as illustrated in FIGS. 9, whereas separate connections are required to achieve random effects or chasing effects such as are indicated by the arrows from 1 to 3 in FIGS. 9-1 and 9-2. Those skilled in the art will appreciate that there are numerous available analog and digital circuits for providing different light activation functions to achieve any of a variety of special lighting effects, and that the switch can be mechanical or electrical and responsive to conditions such as temperature, moisture, tilt, vibration, and ambient light level.
As illustrated in FIG. 10, the preferred method of placing the plurality of LEDs 4 and conductive strip 1 inside the textile netting lace involves making a hole 35 in the center of the lace by a tool to push the open weave textile material aside so as to allow the two preferably rounded ends 36 and 37 of the transparent conductive strip 1 (or strips 1' and 1" ) to be inserted into the hole and pushed towards the ends of the lace, after which the lace material can be pushed back into place to eliminate the hole and provide a completed lace as illustrated in FIG. 10-1. This preserves the integrity and appearance of the lace.
Having thus described several different preferred embodiments of the invention, as well as a number of different implementations of the preferred embodiments, those skilled in the art will appreciate that numerous variations and modifications of the preferred embodiments and implementations thereof may nevertheless be made without departing from the scope of the invention. It is accordingly intended that the invention not be limited by the above description or accompanying drawings, but that it be defined solely in accordance with the appended claims.

Reverse Proxy Server
A 2-way proxy server
Freeway uses a couchdb for its configuration setup, this couchdb can be configured by passing env params or by setting up a config.json file in the root of the application. The config takes two keys, (uri and db)
Example Config
"datastore": "uri": "http://localhost:5984" "db": "freeway"
Once a connection is made, freeway is going to look for two documents in the database.
opts document contains any options you would like to pass to bouncy, for example SSL info to configure as a ssl terminator.
rules document contains keys that define how the system will bounce per host match.
When a request comes into
freeway will examine the headers
host key to match against a key in the rules document, if a match is found then it will grab the value object of that key, which contains the url and port to execute the bounce for.
Freeway has a feature that enables you to configure a
token that can be validated to confirm that the proxy should perform the bounce. If the
token key is not set, it will always bounce, if it is set then freeway will validate the token before bouncing.

Press release from PR Newswire
Bankers Petroleum announces receipt of claim

Bankers Petroleum announces receipt of claim08:00 EDT Monday, September 16, 2013
CALGARY, Sept. 16, 2013 /PRNewswire/ - Bankers Petroleum Ltd. (the "Company") announces that a claim has been filed in the Commercial Court of England and Wales against the Company's subsidiary Bankers Petroleum Albania Ltd. ("BPAL") by BP Oil International Ltd. ("BPO") in connection with a dispute between BPAL and BPO over the termination by BPAL of a crude oil sales contract between BPAL and BPO (the "Contract").
BPO has alleged that BPAL wrongfully terminated the Contract and is seeking damages of approximately US$ 54 million.
The Company and BPAL believe that BPAL was fully within its legal rights to terminate the Contract, that BPO's claim is without merit and that, in any event, BPO's estimate of damages is exaggerated. The Company intends that BPAL will vigorously defend the claim.

Minnesota farmers who still have wet fields have been creeping ahead with their remaining spring planting. The USDA says that an average of just-over 3-and-a-half days were suitable for fieldwork statewide last week, a slight improvement from recent weeks. So corn planting moved ahead 4-percentage points last week to 94% complete, while soybean planting advanced 12-percentage points to 84% complete. Minnesota farmers normally have planted all their corn and nearly all their soybeans by now. The first cutting of alfalfa advanced 31-percentage points to 38% complete also, well behind the 5-year average of 67%.

Trevino acknowledged that the Park Service needs to lead by example in regulating noise in the parks. Others commended the Park Service for steps it is already taking to reduce noise and its mandate to protect visitors' enjoyment of the parks. One participant suggested action on noise from snowplows since the noise can be heard from 10 miles away when the machines operate above treeline.
In terms of the feasibility and desirability of a noise restriction on people coming into national parks, participants observed that some groups and individuals may resist—such as motorcycle groups that favor modified (i.e., louder) exhaust systems. But such a restriction would nonetheless significantly reduce noise in the parks. Trevino noted that states have begun to adopt noise restrictions on motorcycles, but she also pointed out that many people urge advocacy in the parks on noise levels ahead of regulation. For instance, sound levels from motorcycles have been recorded and measured to help make motorcycle riders aware of the noise they generate. This approach can be applied to all vehicles, not just motorcycles.
Finally, workshop participants expressed interest in a continuing forum for review of noise issues and policies, to extend the deliberations of the workshop and continue to lay the groundwork for reducing noise in the national parks.
Trevino and Turina expressed their thanks to workshop participants and said they would begin to develop an implementation plan the next day. Showing that the benefits of noise mitigation can extend to actual cost savings for parks and for the Park Service will be critical, they said.

Weekly Spending Summary (8/4-8/10)
Some of you have wondered where I get my printable coupons. Here are the main coupon sites that I use: Coupons.com, Coupon Network, Smart Source, Red Plum and Saving Star. Manufacturer websites and Facebook pages are another great source.
Got a number of good buys this week but you'll have to read through to find out what. Don't miss how I saved at least $60 by taking some free peaches we were offered!
Total Spent: $110.41
Total Saved with Coupons: $11.95
Total Saved with Sales: $50.58 ($36.48 of this was gas savings)
Total Saved: $62.53
Giant: $36.28
Saved with Coupons: $11.95
Saved with Sales: $14.10
Whew! This was a crazy week at Giant. My head was nearly spinning trying to make sense of all the coupons/sales/gas deals. But I think I did everything right, thankfully!
Giant had another one of their promotions where if you buy so many of certain things you get $0.40 off a gallon of gas (up to 30 gallons). I took advantage of the sale even though it meant buying things that I typically wouldn't buy. In fact, most of the items I'll be donating to a local food bank since they are things that we either don't care for or don't eat (because we try to avoid processed foods as much as possible.) Anyway, in the end I made $5.95 by purchasing all of this so I think that was worth it!
Since we don't have a 30 gallon gas tank I only saved $36.48 in gas (you'll see the credit at the bottom of this post). If we had a 30 gallon tank or I had some gas cans I could have saved $48! I also combined Saving Star ecoupons with my regular coupons and will get $5.75 back with that.

Aldi: $22.73
I'm doing a bunch of canning right now and was almost out of sugar- not a good thing when you are canning fruit! So I ran to Aldi to get some and grabbed a few other things while I was there. The pineapple and orange juice concentrate are for fruit slush. I'm making a bunch of that to freeze too.
- 4 Crushed Pineapple $0.89 each
- Chili Powder $0.99
- 2 Saltines $0.99 each
- 4 Sugar 4 lb. $2.19 each
- 2 Orange Juice Concentrate $1.29 each
- Canola Oil $2.69
- 2 Baby Carrots $0.59 each
- Tortillas $0.99
Glenwood Foods: $20.33
We were driving by this discount grocery store and stopped so I could grab some canning lids. Of course I had to peruse their dairy section too since I know they often have some good deals there. Basically all I found was cream cheese for $0.79 and a few cheeses that were under my buy price of $2.00/lb.
Centerville Bulk Food: $22.20
Stopped by my favorite bulk store to get a few things I was needing- oatmeal, raw sugar, wheat germ, some spices, canning lids, bananas and sweet potatoes.
Misc.: $75.05
This was for a variety of things, some of which, in all my busyness, I forgot to take pictures of! Oh, I also was the happy recipient of 2 bushels of FREE peaches! Yes, free. See, my father-in-law works at an orchard and they had some peaches that had some sort of blight on the skin and as a result had a few spots here and there. They didn't feel like it was worth their time to pay their workers to pick them but told my father-in-law that they would love if he would take them since it is bad for the trees to not have the fruit picked. So, we got 2 bushels of those peaches. They weren't perfect but really were pretty nice and I was more than thrilled to have them. I figure I saved at least $60 by taking them. I could have had more but, well, there is a limit to how much one lady can do! Anyway, I canned most of them and froze the rest. Of course we've been enjoying a bunch of them fresh too! So good!
* $10.00 was cash I got out to pay for various random grocery expenses
* $4.00 was for a 1/2 bushel of cucumbers that I got to make pickles
* $2.20 was for some peppers and zucchini from a local produce stand
* $47.85 was for 1 1/2 bushels of peaches that I got to freeze
* $11.00 was for 140 ears of corn that I got to freeze
Credit: $66.18
This is what I saved in gas savings as I mentioned above under my Giant purchase summary.Add a Comment

The Life and Times of Milo the V3 :)
Posted 21 March 2013 - 01:49 PM ( #41 )
Wow, where did all that time go? I can't believe Milo grew up so fast. Don't worry though, he's not feeling his age yet. Here he is looking cute wearing a t-shirt... You're never too old to make a fashion statement!

We brought a shovel from the shop and had a quick dig around to see what we could find.
I was slightly wary of snakes but as it turns out today was Milo's lucky day - 300 points! If only I could dig that up in the garden.
Unsuprisingly Milo was a very pleased little guy.
You may be interested to hear that Scout and Boo got married to each other this morning. The odd thing? Well, Boo is still a teenager! I've heard of this happening before but I have to admit I was quite suprised. I guess I shouldn't have been worrying about Scout marrying Milo after all, she clearly goes for the younger men.

Milo was feeling particularly nurturing so I brought him a pot plant to look after from the shop.
I don't know what sort of fertiliser Milo used but that plant was suddenly very alive! Maybe there really is something in talking to plants. Or it could just be him going dotty in his old age!

We played with Milo's RC duck toy for a while today. It's good to see he still has good eye-hand coordination. His eyesight's not going yet!
Unfortunately he then crashed the toy:
Milo was not a happy tama and I couldn't persuade him to play again - I guess he's just a sore loser.

Now Milo's older he's got a little more attitude. Here he is rocking out to his er... Tama-pod?
I wonder what his favourite music is? Hmmm maybe rap. Whatever it is he looks happy!
Posted 26 March 2013 - 01:45 PM ( #46 )
Now he's been around so long I felt he needed to be able to keep track of the time so I got him a cuckoo clock. Milo was very interested and stood watching it tick for a while. He looked a little impatient, I wonder what he was waiting for... Can tamagotchis be late for anything?
Suddenly something made him turn around.
And out of the clock popped a little face! It opened and closed its beak seven times to mark the hour before disappearing again.
I don't know why but for some reason I find this item very cute. I think it was educational for Milo to learn how to tell the time too!

I brought him some darts from the shop and he had fun pretending to be a ninja. It's good to know he still has sharp eyesight but I can't help wondering what Milo was aiming for. Just call him Bond... Milo Bond, licensed to be a very cute tama!

Today my v4 arrived in the post! I hadn't expected it for a least another week so as you can imagine I was very happy. Milo was also keen to be introduced to Calum, his new neighbour. Milo invited him round to his shell and they spent some quality time together.
Unfortunately Calum presented him with a snake and poor Milo was sad and a little shaken up.
But I reminded him that Calum is still only a toddler and doesn't know better so it's his responsibility to act the grown up. A little reluctantly Milo tried to be friendly again and brought him a present as a peace offering. I think my two boys will be getting along a lot better now in the future!
Today was mine and Milo's final day of school and we now have three weeks of holiday to look forward to. I'm glad to finally have so much free time to spend on him.

I put a new battery in straight away but instead of turning 48 yesterday like he should have, Milo stayed 47. I guess his last "save point" before his battery ran out must have been when he turned 47 so we ended up losing a day. Anyway, he's 48 now:
Even though I've had to change his battery before it still freaked me out when an egg popped up on the screen. But I pressed "download" and Milo was back! I know it sounds silly but I honestly can't imagine what I would do without him anymore.
Here he is working on his fitness:
Maybe he's hoping to build up a bit of muscle! Hmmm I don't think he'll be winning the olympics anytime soon.

Happy Easter! Although he can't eat chocolate eggs, Milo wanted to celebrate in his own way.
One of my favourite items on the v3 is the gramophone. It has a retro feel to it which I guess suits Milo, seeing as he's an oldie. Perhaps it reminds him of his childhood?
"Twinkle Twinkle Little Star" started playing and neither Milo or I could help singing along.
I think he likes it as much as I do, look at him grinning!

I was going to take some pictures of him today but the hour went forward here in England on Sunday and well... I lost track of time. Only I could get jetlagged in my own country! Anyway, Milo knew what the right time was and went to bed at eight as usual so didn't want to play. At least he looks adorable though .
Posted 02 April 2013 - 12:59 PM ( #52 )
We had a quiet morning in and watched Breaking Dawn Part 2. Yes that's right I admit it, I'm a Twilight fan and proud - so shoot me! Being a very manly tama Milo wasn't to keen to join me in drooling over Taylor Lautner and Robert Pattinson... Oh and Kellan Lutz of course! I'll make a Twi-hard of him yet, mark my words .

Here he is going for a healthy jog in his trendy new trainers. Got to do some cardio to keep that tama-heart fit and pumping!
Look at him speeding past - he's practically a blur on the screen. I have to say he's very well preserved for his age.
Milo's face was very deturmined and he showed no signs of tiring out. Soon he'll be giving Bolt a run for his money!
Today Milo came with me to Chessington World of Adventures. I think he enjoyed all the rollercoasters although the endless queuing in the freezing cold bored us both. I think he's a thrill-seeker at heart really, he likes to feel the adrenaline running through his um... Pixels?

Today Milo and I went to see the West End play "The Woman in Black" which we both enjoyed. I was glad to have Milo there with me for moral support and we both almost jumped out of our skins (in Milo's case I suppose I should say shell) when the woman in black suddenly appeared on stage. I had to assure him it was only a story to calm him down, here he is reading the programme:
Posted 05 April 2013 - 01:03 PM ( #55 )
He brought a pot plant from the shop and we waited apprehensively for it to grow in case it blossomed into something unpleasant like a snake.
Luckily Milo was rewarded with a bag of money and we could both breath a sigh of relief. It was wonderful to see his little face light up like that, I guess it's every mother's wish to see their child happy!
100 points! Talk about a green thumb, maybe Milo could try growing a few plants for me in the future.
I think he has high anticipations for what he will spend his money on.

A lamp and a fishing pole popped up in the shop and Milo was eager to snap up both. First we tried out the lamp and were greeted by a genie who looked very suprised at being woken up.
We waited to see whether he would be angry or thankful to finally get a bit of fresh air after being stuck in that stuffy old lamp for so long. There was a sudden flash of darkness (can you say a "flash" of darkness? Well I'm going to anyway...) which didn't seem to bode well.
But I guess we caught Mr Genie in a good mood because he very generously doled over a bag of money. Milo was very smug - he tried to deny he was ever afraid although I know him so well I can always tell.
Next, Milo got out the fishing rod and cast it out into the apparently invisible ocean of pixels just off the screen. I sometimes wonder what that ocean looks like never having been able to see it. Perhaps that's where the tamagotchi ocean sprites live. Anyway he pulled and pulled and finally reeled in...
...A tin can?
We tried again and had a bit of better luck as Milo actually managed to catch a fish! I was very proud although it soon disappeared off the screen. I guess Milo must have put it back in the ocean, what an eco-friendly tama he is!

We went fishing again together which was actually pretty relaxing.
Well it was until Milo felt something big tugging on the end of the line. There was a pretty tough struggle and the fish seemed to be trying to pull Miko off of the screen but he won in the end and reeled in...
... An absolutely massive fish! It was more like a whale really although I know fishermen always exaggerate (but Milo has photographic evidence to prove it!).
But although Milo had seemed in control at first the fish didn't stop there and continued moving forwards. It almost squashed him into a flat tama-pancake! It seems Milo came out of that particular encounter unscathed however because he was soon bopping about on the screen as normal and the fish was thankfully no where to be seen.

Now that he's such an um... Mature tama his hair is beginning to thin a little. In fact, whisper it quietly but it's virtually non-existant (although he likes to think that comb-over fools everyone!). Milo tried out a wig despite being adamant that he doesn't need it anyway:
It allowed him to experience what it is like to have the luxurious locks of his youth. I think it made him feel quite young again - it certainly brought out the rocking rebellious teen in him!

As I keep reminding him, it's very important for him to have his five a day! Having all those vitamins and minerals should keep him healthy, maybe that's why he's managed to live so long. Here he is munching on a cherry:
A cherry a day keeps the tama-doctor away! Or hopefully it will help him live to be 60 tomorrow anyway...

The Rabbids are coming! The Rabbids are coming! One if by land! Two if by sea! Three if by Internet connection!
Oops—I guess they're already here. These cute-yet-spastic animated imports star in more than a half-dozen video games (and have cameos in others, including Splinter Cell: Conviction and Just Dance 2). Now they've set down a bulkhead in TV Territory too, with Nickelodeon's appropriately named Rabbids Invasion.
Oh, sure, they look reasonably harmless, with their little pink bellies and perky ears and curiously buggy eyes. They're smallish, too. They'd struggle even to be literal knee-biters. They typically only mass in groups of three or four. And while that might be enough to conquer France (where the Rabbids originally came from), it's certainly not going to be enough to humble the U.S. of A.
Or perhaps it will be. After all, the Rabbids are both annoying and persistent—the same recipe for world domination that the folks from Jersey Shore used.
Just sayin'.
Not that Rabbids Invasion is nearly as problematic as MTV's most notorious well-tanned clique. The show's on Nickelodeon, after all, and most of its programming is still intended for those too young to go clubbing. The Rabbids like to make mischief, but they do not engage in drinking or smoking, nor do they seem particularly amorous—never mind the reputation of their real-world cousins. And while they're all technically naked, they're also covered with fur. (Their rears are the only thing with any hint of human realism at all, presumably because entertainment executives believe 8-year-olds find posteriors insanely funny.) The Rabbids are unable to say anything but variations on bwah and thus never swear.
But neither is Rabbids Invasion morally edifying. There are no cogent lessons of the importance of eating one's vegetables, no sober reminders to say "please" and "thank-you." Indeed, the Rabbids pay no mind to any guidelines that mandate civility or courtesy. Or traffic laws. Or basic principles of physics. And the violence! They smack and kick and bonk and bink with frenetic glee, as if they were height-challenged rejects from The Three Stooges.
The end result is what feels like an updated version of your standard Road Runner short—without all the high explosives. Each half-hour episode (split into three segments) features slapstick violence and humor, seriously put-upon humans and lots and lots of Rabbids screaming "Bwah!"

"Elevatorus Rabbidinus/Until Rabbids Do You Part/Rabbid Radar"
In "Elevatorus Rabbidinus," The Rabbids mistake an elevator as some sort of magical transformation device: People walk in, the door closes, it opens again and different people walk out. When their leader gets trapped in the device, the Rabbids freak out and, later, mourn when they think he might've vanished down a toilet. A Rabbid slips on a banana peel, which sends him careening through a mall.
"Until Rabbids Do You Part" has the Rabbids mucking up a wedding photo shoot. They try to smack a fly (sometimes hitting one another in the face), then chase said fly into the shoot, where they tangle with bride, groom and photographer. The picture-taker sometimes kicks the Rabbids a long way—sending one careening into a trash can. Someone gets a toilet plunger stuck on his face. The photographer settles into a yogic pose at one point, apparently to regain self-control.
The Rabbids then pester a rural traffic cop in "Rabbid Radar." They eat paper and get kicked and thrown around a lot. One's hit by a car. (It doesn't kill him, of course.) The cop eventually smashes some of his equipment in frustration and appears to temporarily lose both his mind and his job.

Only bad girls get raped: Television viewing and rape myth acceptance. -- While prior research has shown that people who consume pornographic media are more likely to accept rape myths, this study links the acceptance of such myths to general, daily television use. This study also finds that people who watch more television are more likely to believe that rape accusations are false and it confirms a negative relationship between liberal political ideology and rape myth acceptance.

Kudos's curator insight, June 23, 10:27 AM
This is a persistent issue. People are less engaged for a variety of reasons. I believe it comes down to several areas if you want to change how people think and feel.
Leadership taking ownership — this needs to be a driven from the top. My feeling is it still gets lip service. They companies that do well put their people and treat them like partners, leading from a core sense of purpose, vision and values. Engagement starts here.
Better and more consistent communication — it need to be free flowing in social style environment where everyone can participate — contribute or consume.
Frequent and ongoing recognition — the best way to inspire and connect with your team as well as coach and mentor is to praise in public.
Trust and empowerment — last but not least empower your team to part of the culture. They will create a positive community if you let them. They will take ownership and pride it what they do and who they work for if can give them that level of trust.
Continuous measurement of employee sentiment — the annual review and survey is a big part of the problem. That is often the only time an employee gets any feedback or an opportunity to give feedback. Companies need to employee new strategy and tools that allow for a continuous conversation. And management does not need to lead pr even be part of the conversation. The team will contribute and connect daily if you let them and that will be the best barometer of how the company is doing and give you deep insights on how individuals are performing and where and how they are contributing.
We think the solution will revolve around a social network that empowers everyone to give recognition. If you want to change the engagement trend start to thank different.

If we know engagement is so important, isn't it perverse that we can't seem to address it?

Useful picture of why our comfort zones hold us back.

In a past life, I had the good fortune to teach people how to ski. People rarely learned anything valuable when they were on terrain that was either too flat or too steep. Real learning took place when the skiers weren't sure of the outcome though its expectation was probably positive. Real progress never happened unless the skiers were willing to take appropriate risks. This holds for leaders as well.

A Happy (Pagan) Earth Day to You!
"No dogma taught by the present civilization seems to form so insuperable an obstacle in a way of a right understanding of the relations which culture sustains as to wilderness, as that which declares that the world was made especially for the uses of men. Every animal, plant, and crystal controverts it in the plainest terms. Yet it is taught from century to century as something ever new and precious, and in the resulting darkness the enormous conceit is allowed to go unchallenged." - John … [Read more...]
