1. Field of the Invention
This invention relates generally to the field of exercise equipment, and particularly to a lower body exerciser that combines elements of both a stepping exercise and a running exercise.
2. Prior Art
A wide variety of exercise devices have been developed for exercising the various muscle groups of the human body. One class of such devices that is particularly adapted for exercising the lower body consists of cycle-type exercisers. These machines generally simulate the exercise experienced when pedaling a cycle. The operator sits in either an upright, semi-recumbent or recumbent position and operates a pair of foot pedals on a crank shaft. The operator's feet travel in a circular path, each foot constrained to move exactly out of phase with the other.
Another class of machines for exercising the lower body consists of treadmills that permit a walking or running exercise. In a treadmill exercise, there is typically no resistance other than the weight of the operator's body, the effect of which may be amplified by elevating the forward end of the treadmill.
Yet another class of lower body exercisers that has become popular in recent years, consists of machines that simulate climbing stairs. These machines typically have a pair of pedals pivotally mounted to a frame for up and down movement in a arcuate path. Operation of the pedals may be either dependent or independent. Typically, resistance is provided only for the downward stroke of each pedal so that the resulting exercise accurately simulates stair climbing.
Each of the above-mentioned classes of lower body exercisers is useful for achieving particular exercise objectives; however, each such class of exerciser is also limited by the inherent mechanical limitations on the range of motion.
One of the objects of the present invention is to provide an exercise machine that combines the benefits of the specific exercises that can be performed individually on prior art lower body exercisers.
Another object of the present invention is to provide a lower body exerciser with a range of motion heretofore unachievable with prior art exercisers.
These and other objects of the present invention are achieved in a machine having a pair of laterally spaced apart foot pedals, each of which is independently coupled to a frame by a respective articulated linkage. Each such articulated linkage has a generally vertical linkage that is pivotally coupled to the frame and a generally horizontal linkage that is pivotally coupled to its respective foot pedal. These linkages, each of which may comprise a single or a pair of linkage arms, are pivotally coupled to one another such that each foot pedal is free to move within a two-dimensional envelope of motion in a vertical plane. The linkage arms are arranged so that the envelope of motion has a generally ovate shape, slightly inclined to the horizontal. The exercise performed with this apparatus involves both vertical motion as with prior art machines that simulate stair climbing and horizontal motion as with prior art treadmills. The vertical and horizontal components of motion may each have separate resistance means. Furthermore, the rearward horizontal component of motion may be externally powered or powered solely by the operator, just as with a treadmill.
FIG. 1 is a overall perspective view of an apparatus according to the present invention.
FIG. 2 diagrammatically illustrates the range of motion of the apparatus show in FIG. 1.
In the following description, for purposes of explanation and not limitation, specific details are set forth in order to provide a thorough understanding of the present invention. However, it will be apparent to one skilled in the art that the present invention may be practiced in other embodiments that depart from these specific details. In other instances, detailed descriptions of well-known methods and devices are omitted so as to not obscure the description of the present invention withunnecessary detail.
An apparatus 10 according to the present invention is shown generally in FIG. 1. A frame 12 comprises a generally upright member 14 and a base member 16. Frame 12 is supported on a floor by front leg members 18 and rear leg members 20. Frame 12 is conveniently fabricated from square or rectangular section steel tubing as is conventional in the field of exercise equipment.
A pair of brackets 22 are welded or otherwise secured to upright member 14 at an intermediate position thereon. A pair of articulated assemblies 24 are suspended from brackets 22. Assemblies 24 are disposed on opposite sides of a longitudinal center line of frame 12. Each of articulated assemblies 24 is coupled to a respective foot pedal 26.
Each of identical articulated assemblies 24 comprises a vertical linkage arm 28, a lower horizontal linkage arm 32 and an upper horizontal linkage arm 34. Vertical linkage arm 28 is pivotally coupled to bracket 22 at pivot point 28a. The horizontal linkage arms 32 and 34 are pivotally coupled to vertical linkage arm 28 at pivot points 36a and 36b, respectively. Horizontal linkage arms 32 and 34 are also pivotally coupledto foot pedal bracket 27 at pivot points 32a and 34a, respectively. Lower horizontal arm 32 is preferably longer than upper horizontal arm 34 in order to progressively tilt the foot pedal through its range of motion as described below. In an alternative embodiment, a pair of vertical linkage arms may be employed so that articulated assembly 24 comprise two completefour-bar linkages. In this variation of the invention, an intermediate linkage connector is used to couple the pairs of vertical and horizontal linkage arms.
As will be more fully explained below, articulated assemblies 24 allow their respective associated foot pedals 26 to move within a two-dimensional envelope of motion in a vertical plane parallel to the longitudinal center line of frame 12. To utilize device 10, an operator stands facing upright member 14 with each foot on a respective one of footpedals 26. Handrails 38, to be grasped by the operator for balance and support, extend from rear leg members 20 upwardly and forwardly to uprightframe member 14. A display and control panel 40 houses a microprocessor-based control system for the apparatus and includes displaydevices for providing the operator with pertinent information regarding theexercise being performed. Panel 40 also includes input devices for selecting various exercise parameters.
Foot pedals 26 are preferably biased towards an upward and forward positionwhich provides a convenient starting position for the exercises that may beperformed utilizing apparatus 10. A spring 42 is attached to a tab 44 whichin turn is secured to base member 16. A short cable 46 is attached to the opposite end of spring 42 and is reeved around pulley 48 which is rotatably mounted to upright member 14. Cable 46 is attached to vertical linkage member 28 near linkage connector 36. The length of cable 46 is such that spring 42 is maintained in tension even when vertical linkage member 28 is resting against stop 50. The characteristics of spring 42 areselected so as to provide the desired amount of forward biasing force for articulated assembly 24.
In similar manner, spring 52 provides a vertical biasing force. One end of spring 52 is attached to tab 54 which in turn is secured to upright member14. The opposite end of spring 52 is coupled to cable 56 which is reeved over pulley 58 rotatably mounted on bracket 22 concentric with pivot point28a, and then over pulley 60 which is rotatably mounted on vertical linkagemember 30. Cable 56 is attached to horizontal linkage member 34. The lengthof cable 56 and the characteristics of spring 52 are selected so as to provide the desired amount of upward biasing force for articulated assembly 24.
It will be recognized that apparatus 10 may be used to perform exercises against the resistance afforded only by springs 42 and 52. However, it is preferred that these springs be used only to bias the foot pedals 26 into their upward and forward resting positions and that separate means 100 be provided for regulating and/or resisting movement of the articulated assemblies. Numerous resistance means suitable for use with apparatus 10 are well known in the art. In particular, various forms of electromechanical resistance have been successfully developed for use withexercise machines that simulate stair climbing. For example, U.S. Pat. No. 4,708,338 to Potts discloses a resistance system utilizing an electrical alternator and a variable load resistor to provide dynamic braking. Such asystem is easily adapted for use with the present invention. Another resistance system utilizing a flywheel and friction belt is disclosed in U.S. Pat. No. 4,938,474 to Sweeney et al. This system is also easily adapted to the present invention.
The foregoing examples are not the only means for providing resistance thatare suitable for use with the present invention. Indeed, virtually any device for providing resistance may be adapted for use with this invention, such as weights, springs, electromagnetic devices, etc. Furthermore, it will be recognized that the present invention may also be advantageously employed in modes that regulate or control the operator's motions rather than simply providing resistance.
Articulated assemblies 24 are coupled to the resistance means by drive shaft 70. Separate drive pulleys are provided for the vertical and horizontal linkage members. Drive pulley 72 is coupled to vertical linkagearm 28 by flexible member 74. In like manner, horizontal linkage arm 34 is coupled to drive pulley 76 by flexible member 78. Corresponding drive pulleys and flexible coupling members, although not shown, are provided for the articulated assembly on the left side of apparatus 10. Flexible members 74 and 78 may be cables, chains, belts or other transmission devices as are conventionally used in the art of exercise equipment. As illustrated in FIG. 1, apparatus 10 has a single drive shaft 70. However, it can readily be seen that separate drive shafts and separate resistance means may be provided for the respective vertical and horizontal linkage arms. In this manner, the resistance for the vertical and horizontal components of motion may be separately selected. By extension, resistance means could also be separately provided for each of the pair of articulated assemblies, although the expense and complexity of doing so would likely outweigh any benefits.
Referring now to FIG. 2, the path followed by one of the foot pedals 26 in the course of performing an exercise with apparatus 10 is illustrated. Position A is the rest position in which foot pedal 26 is biased to an upward and forward position by the action of springs 42 and 52 as explained above. In this position, foot pedal 26 is substantially horizontal, thereby permitting an operator to simply step up onto the footpedals in order to perform an exercise. As the operator's weight is transferred to foot pedal 26, it begins to descend, pivoting primarily about pivot points 36a and 36b until horizontal linkage arm 32 is in contact with roller 80 as illustrated at position B. In this position, foot pedal 26 is slightly inclined. This gives the operator greater leverage for performing the optional horizontal stroke of the exercise.
From position B, the operator may simply transfer weight to the opposite foot pedal, thereby returning to position A and thus performing a simple vertical step exercise. Alternatively, from position B, the operator may push backward against foot pedal 26 to add a horizontal running stroke to the exercise. This stroke, the length of which is determined by the natural stride of the operator, terminates at position C. At this position, the inclination of foot pedal 26 has increased. From position C,the operator will naturally transfer weight to the opposite foot pedal, andthe foot pedal shown in FIG. 2 will tend to return to starting position A under the influence of springs 42 and 52. The foot pedal is not constrained to follow a particular path from point C back to point A; instead, the pedal follows the natural path of the operator's foot, which is generally a smooth, curved path as illustrated.
An optional feature of the present invention is to provide a source of power, such as a D.C. motor, for roller 80 so that the horizontal stroke between positions B and C is powered, much in the manner of a treadmill. When operating in this mode, the individual expends energy to keep pace with retreating foot pedal 26, but is not applying muscular energy to force it backward as in the unpowered mode. With the option of supplying power to roller 80, it is desirable to have an unpowered idler roller 82 immediately behind roller 80 so that the terminal portion of the horizontal stroke is unpowered. This is important for safety considerations and also provides a more pleasing feel to the exercise. It will be seen that as the horizontal stroke proceeds from position B to position C, horizontal linkage member 32 "tips over" roller 80 to engage roller 82 and thereby disengage from roller 80.
It will be appreciated that apparatus 10 can be operated in a number of different modes. The operator may utilize vertical only or both vertical and horizontal components of motion. Furthermore, the resistance for each component of motion may be the same, or resistance to horizontal motion may be a predetermined percentage of the resistance to vertical motion, oreach component may be separately adjusted or eliminated entirely. Also, as just discussed, the horizontal component of motion may be powered in a backward direction in the manner of a treadmill, which may be used in combination with any desired resistance to the vertical component of motion. Thus, a variety of exercises may be performed to focus on the particular needs and desires of the operator.
It will be recognized that the above described invention may be embodied inother specific forms without departing from the spirit or essential characteristics of the disclosure. Thus, it is understood that the invention is not to be limited by the foregoing illustrative details, but rather is to be defined by the appended claims.

Hometown Hero: Baldree turns injury into a positive
Texas State player compiled 17-13 mark in singles in spring
CORPUS CHRISTI - Rachel Baldree felt almost unarmed on the tennis court at the start of her freshman season at Texas State.
Before arriving to San Marcos last fall, the former Flour Bluff state-tournament qualifier sustained a left-hand injury during a practice.
"One day, I just felt everything rip," Baldree said. "I went to the doctor and found out that I had shredded the ligaments in my left thumb."
After surgery and getting the OK to return to the court, the right-handed Baldree had to limit using her best shot — her two-handed backhand — as her left hand healed.
"It was pretty hard to deal with mentally," Baldree said. "My backhand is my favorite shot, by far. I tried not to let it get to me. I just wanted my backhand back."
Baldree's hand healed enough for her to play during Texas State's fall season. As it turned out, the injury proved to have a silver lining and Baldree went on to become one of the Bobcats' top freshman players and earned All-Southland Conference honors in No. 3 singles last spring.
"When she wasn't able to fully use her backhand, she was able to hit a number of different shots and be effective with them," Texas State coach Tory Plunkett said. "She was able to look at her serve and forehand and make them a little stronger."
The 5-foot-2 Baldree compiled a 17-13 singles record in the spring and teamed with Mariana Perez to go 10-0 in No. 3 doubles play in the SLC.
"I just tried to prove to myself how good I could be," Baldree said of her immediate success. "I was pretty hard on myself, thinking that it was going to be extra tough. I just focused on improving each day and taking one day at a time."
"Rachel was coming in here with an injury and she didn't finish her junior career the way she wanted to," Plunkett said. "It's difficult for every freshman coming into college tennis. But I knew she was a tremendous athlete and I knew she would respond very well."
Baldree said the biggest part of adjusting to collegiate tennis was the businesslike approach to the game. She learned quickly that she was expected to earn her scholarship.
"The coaches won't take anything from you," Baldree said. "If you're hurting, you just have to suck it up. They don't feel sorry for you."
Last week, Baldree and Perez combined to finish third in the fourth flight of the Rice Invitational. The two are expected to be one of the top doubles teams again in the SLC.
"Before I came here, I couldn't stand playing doubles," Baldree said. "When I came here. I had to play doubles. I actually fell in love with it."
"Before, she was pretty good in doubles and now she is really good," Plunkett said. "This year, she seems to be more focused on her tennis. All the other things that were difficult to adjust to last year are now put in place."
Baldree also has learned that she has to be able to cover more ground on her side of the net to make up for her 5-foot-2 stature.
"I have to run a lot faster and be a lot stronger," Baldree said. "The taller girls try to overpower me. I'm working on doing more crosscourt shots and staying in the points longer.
"I want to be able to dictate more points and be more aggressive. Instead of me being the runner, I want to make them be the runner."
Texas State will compete at the ITA Regional Championships in Waco from Friday through Oct. 23 and in two more tournaments before concentrating on the spring dual-match season, which begins Jan. 26 at Dallas Baptist.
"I am still trying to prove to myself and my team how good I can be," Baldree said.

Running an Elementary Science Olympiad takes more than elbow grease, popsicle sticks, marshmallows and volunteer hours; it takes money, too! However, these programs are usually very inexpensive, in many cases it costs less than $2 per child for the supplies needed. Here are a few ideas of potential sources of funding and how to approach each one:
PTA or PTO
Your school's Parent Teacher Association or Organization (PTA or PTO) can be an excellent partner for your ESO event. In the beginning of the school year, interested parents can attend a PTA or PTO meeting and present the ESO program for discussion. Once everyone agrees it's a good fit for the school, the PTA or PTO can form an official committee, making Science Olympiad eligible for line-item funding. The ESO Committee should formulate a budget plan (think about supplies needed and number of students served) and submit that figure to the PTA or PTO for approval. At a meeting following the budget submission, the line-item can be put to a membership vote -- and presto, you've got your funds!
Each building principal in a district often has a small discretionary fund for extra supplies, field trips, club stipends or special events. Be bold and ask the principal directly if he or she would be able to fund the ESO program in tandem with any science education initiatives planned for the year, such as a trip to the local Nature Center, a new set of science kits for a classroom, or a scientific speaker. Timing your own ESO event in conjunction with one of these activities can really make for an all-school science theme!
Science Club funds
Each school typically has funding for a specific number of clubs in each building. If there is already a Science, Ecology or Recycling Club, perhaps they have funds that could be used toward an ESO event. Build in hands-on events that tie into the club (like As The Worm Turns for the Recycling Club) and you've got a great partner!
Local community groups, corporate or individual sponsors
Many parents in the school have their own businesses or work for a company that has a scientific angle, and those are great sources of revenue for an ESO event. If mom or dad works at a research lab, not only can they help with supervising an event, they might also be able to secure $100 or more toward the event. Don't forget to ask for fun items to give away, like pencils or squishy balls, with the corporate logo. Local membership groups also might like to contribute to a school event like the Elementary Science Olympiad -- they could provide volunteers, too! Every pair of hands helps.
Student fundraisers like car washes, bake sales
Be creative and have students bring in treats for a bake sale during the lunch hour; set up a few hoses and fill some buckets with suds and sponges for an after-school car wash; make rubber bracelets, stickers or pencils and set up a Kid Mart -- these ideas could net you enough to put on an exciting ESO event -- and serve as a way to advertise the upcoming event. When people ask what the sale is for, you can do a marketing pitch!
Apply for grants
For around $500, you can host an enriching and rewarding Elementary Science Olympiad program. Many local associations, foundations and corporations offer education grants in small amounts. If you don't know where to look, try doing an Internet search of grants in your town by Googling "grants" + "your town" and see what comes up! For instance, in Elmhurst, IL, we have the District 205 Foundation which accepts grant proposals for events, supplies and initiatives which support the curriculum and educational needs of our school district. Parents, community members and teachers can apply for these grants which are given annually. A grant application co-written by a parent and teacher guarantees success! Be sure to include testimonials, photos and press clippings.

E Timor demands that natural gas from Sunrise field be processed in Timor
East Timor continues to demand that the natural gas from the Sunrise field, in the Timor Sea, be processed in the country, East Timor's deputy prime minister, Jose Luis Guterres, said after a meeting in Dili with the new chair of Australian oil company Woodside.
"We want the Sunrise pipeline to come t-168814/print/','Print','width=760,height=640,scrobout the fair distribution of the resources and that those resources should benefit the people of East Timor and Australia," said Portugal's Lusa news agency citing Guterres.
Guterres said that, "there is no justification for Australia already having benefited from a pipeline for development of the gas in Darwin and that East Timor has none."
Woodside believes that processing natural gas in East Timor would cost an additional $5 billion, compared to its preferred option of using a floating rig.
The Australian company noted that, "The option of a floating gas rig is the most economically robust, maximises total revenue for Australia and East Timor and return for the Sunrise consortium."
The Dili government does not accept Woodside's proposal and demands that the gas be processed in East Timor.
The difference of opinion between the two countries has dragged on for over a year.

Recreation Centers Keep Kids Busy During April Vacation, Look Forward to Summer
Keeping kids active… that's the goal area recreation centers have this April vacation.
"We want to get them away from their video games because the parents want them out of the house and we're a good place for them to come," said Presque Isle Rec Programmer, Bradlee Boyles.
Everything from shooting around a basketball, to jumping in an inflatable house; those kind of activities can be found at the Presque Isle and Caribou rec centers all week. Their main focus is to provide something fun to do while school's out of session, something that can be a little difficult with snow and mud still on the ground.
"It's good to get the kids active during their vacation week since they can't really be outside with their sports teams and things like that," said Caribou Recreation Director Matt Bouchard. "So we're just trying to find things to pass the time by until we can get out there."
And these kids are enjoying their vacation away from the classroom, able to let out that energy that's been building up for weeks.
Gavin Akeley has been spending time at the PI rec and said, "It's a lot more fun than just sitting on the couch and playing video games all day."
"It's really fun to play basketball and have fun with friends and hang around," said Zack Madore, who was spending time at the Caribou Rec Center.
Dagan Savage added, "It's fun, good exercise and it's fun to come here and shoot around and play."
But this week isn't just about April vacation, it's somewhat of a teaser for local rec departments as they get ready for a busy summer.
"The biggest part of April break is that's what it is, and we're getting closer to summer," said Boyled. "There's that itchy feeling that we need to get out there and hopefully we'll be able to get the snow a little bit more melted and gets the kids out as fast as we can and have a good summer- we're hoping!"

Summer of Learning Badge Programs
Mayor Emanuel, City officials and leaders from Chicago's community and civic organizations have come together to support keeping Chicago's children safe and engaged this summer through the administration's Summer of Learning initiative, the largest coordinated summer learning effort in the country.
In a unique public-private partnership, the city has teamed up with the MacArthur Foundation and Mozilla to allow youth to earn recognition for engaging in learning during the summer and help teachers track student learning next fall. Through Mozilla's free Open Badges tools, each organization in the Summer of Learning will design their own creative digital "badges" for youth to earn and collect when they complete learning activities over the summer - from field trips to experiments to team projects.
Summer of Learning represents the first coordinated and dedicated approach of its kind for youth in every neighborhood to access high-quality programs that will help them continue to learn even when school is out. It is also the largest youth badging opportunity, and Chicago students will be the first to pioneer this new way of being recognized for their learning milestones and skill development. To learn more about the Mayor's initiative, please visit http://chicagosummeroflearning.org/

Are You Getting Enough Calcium During Pregnancy?
Like most kids, you were likely taught to drink your milk. Stronger bones, better teeth -- your parents probably gave you plenty of reasons to drink up. But now that you're a parent yourself, it may have been a while since you drank the white stuff beyond maybe dumping some in your coffee. Here's what you need to know.Diet Alternatives
Try these creative tips from the American Dietetic Association:
- Cook rice, noodles, hot cereals, and other grains in nonfat milk.
- Add nonfat dry milk powder to recipes for creamy soups, stews, casseroles, and sauces.
- Substitute nonfat yogurt for sour cream or butter.
- Sprinkle low-fat grated cheese on salads, soups, or veggies.
- Drink at least one glass of milk with every snack or meal. Get in the habit of ordering low-fat milk instead of soda when you eat out.
- Instead of your regular cup of joe in the morning, try a latte, which is made with more milk.
- Nosh on string cheese or fill a bag with low-fat cheese cubes for a snack on the go.
- Searching for something sweet? Try a glass of chocolate milk instead of candy.

Military families share their stories

She's deployed – he's dating??
Check out this post over on On The Edge by one of my very favorite bloggers, Kristi Gustafson. She often has readers write in with questions or dilemmas that they want our opinions on – I am sure many of you will want to give your opinion on this situation. She's deployed to Iraq, he's […] [Read More]
Are we the only ones that think soldiers & families sacrifice?
I occasionally check out the Fay Observer as they have some great articles written by soldiers and wives from Ft. Bragg. However, this article was enough to make me want to scream. This woman clearly defines herself right from the start – bitter, jealous, and hardened. Families only sacrifice if their loved one suffers a […] [Read More]
Reunion caught on camera
Two soldiers that are a part of our 827th Eng Co share a special bond – they are not only soldiers, but brothers. They planned their R&R leave time to be together so that they could spend time with their parents and girlfriends as a family. Check out the great video here of their arrival […] [Read More]

The joys of the internet
Some days, I love Skype. Other days, I loathe it. I know its not Skype that's at fault – its the horrible quality of internet that our soldiers spend way too much money on while deployed!

I am still upset that the Parma Hts branch is closing-and we who paid for the building originally will get a little storefront. Now the library is building a connection to the administration building!! What good is that? And what do they need a 400 seat auditorium in a library for? PS- no one ever told us there was a path and garden there for public use either.
:) My car will thank everyone when the potholes are gone. I hope it goes faster than the Stumph Rd repairs-It's like a war zone over there.
These people all made money, but Keven Kelly's greed was at the cost of all the children in the Parma Schools then and now. How can he be allowed to sit "with his family" in Florida raking in disability for the stress when he already was sentenced to 6 yrs. He should be in jail, where they could send him to testify. But no. He'll get a paid trip from Florida?????
It seems there are springing up everywhere in Parma Hts. Maybe that will be our new industry!
I agree with you Brownsfan. I live near Hanna, and that was part of my decision to live here. Now most children from Hanna and Pearl Rd will have to be bused. Normandy should have been closed in 1987 and now, but Seven Hills residents feel they are "special,"" and you should be glad you guys got your way again. There are not enough students anymore to fill all the schools so deal with it.
God bless you for remembering and helping these people. Anyone can hit a bump in life and end up where they are.
No one wants "their" school to close, but the reality is that there are too many schools for the number of students left. Why does Seven Hills always think they deserve special treatment? The school system should suffer so that your property values don't go down!! We are losing Pearl Rd and 1-1/2 miles away Hanna-- 2 in our cluster..You already got to keep that cash sucking Normandy-be happy with that new mayor. And Yes-why hasn't Kevin Kelly had to service his sentence??????
There are 800 less students total than there were exactly 2 years ago-and 1500 less than 5 years ago-- Something needs to close- for sure a few schools.
Anything is better than letting it rot away. Hope for the best.
I'm glad there is finally action being taken, but why did you give in to the Normandy "better than everyone else" parents? There are enough students for 2 high schools and there should have been 2 saved.
Two year ago today there were 820 more students than there are today. Come on school board-you have to do something!!! Think of the kids not politics..
Congrats to you both. $3000 will be a big help for college.
Hope they keep the tennis courts.
Dear library people- Please don't close the Parma Hts library. We need more that a storefront. Our citizens paid for the Parma Hts Library building- we deserve to keep it.
:) We love Valley Forge :)
This seems like a very quiet way for such a flamboyant person to quit-without a public statement.
I think you should have called the safety department when you weren't satisfied with the results of your talks with Mrs Galinas. I too have a problem with safety in Ward 1-how can it be okay to put a bar right on the other side of a fence from Hanna Elementary-Haders at Snowville. The kids walk home past it and it is open at 11am. She wasn't concerned about that either.
You'd think their computers would be able to catch when someone owns 7 houses and gets the credit for living in the house on all of them. Lots of people have rentals and are doing this. All that money adds up.
Why is no one saying anything about when Kevin Kelly will come back from his home in Florida to serve his sentence??????? What good is it to find convict someone, let them move their family to Florida, and not go through with their punishment.
true-this probably does happen all the time and it doesn't make the news and send people searching everywhere in the rain.
Who is writing the headlines for these stories-don't they read them. Moving the 6th graders and then waiting 3 years to do anything else is not advancing=it''s ridiculous. When people voted for the levy they expected immediate action! At the rate we are losing students we will loss another 600 by then. There are too many schools now.

Read Poems by
Angela Arnold
You gave me life and not much else at all
Hurting me made you feel ten feet tall
You threw me away like a dirty shirt
What you did Carolyn, really did hurt
Do you care?
Can you see?
I have your hair
Can you see me?
You lied to me about how my life was then
You lied to me while you wore a smug grin
You claimed to love me, what a big lie
All I want to know is why Carolyn, why?
I never hurt you
Tell me how you can
Act like I'm nothing

Trans-America charity ride nears its conclusion
Posted: October 08, 2012|
Four cyclists have almost completed an ambitious journey across America to raise vital funds for charity.
The team, based at Royal Naval Air Station Culdrose, are cycling 3,100 miles from one side of the United States to the other in less than three weeks with the intention of raising £20,000 for local and national charities.
The service and emergency service personnel are almost all from the Cornish-based 771 Naval Air Squadron (NAS), the Royal Navy's search and rescue squadron.
The quartet are cycling across the US in 17 days from Oceanside, San Diego in the west to the iconic Times Square, New York City, in the east to arrive tomorrow.
They follow the route of the Race Across America (RAAM) which is an annual endurance event open to solo or team cyclists.
Leading the team is Justin Morgan, a medically-trained Aircrewman who provides the rescue and medical element of the helicopter crew when attending an emergency callout. The two other team members are pilot Ben Carthey and South West Ambulance Service paramedic Wayne Davey. The final member of the team is John Williams, who lives and works on the Isles of Scilly and is the new manager at St Mary's airport fire section.
They are raising money the Royal Marines Charitable Trust Fund and the Children's Hospice South West.
A team spokesman said: "The route itself is not one for the faint of heart. The boys are cycling through a wide range of climates and conditions from the high Rocky Mountain ranges to the scorching heat of the New Mexico desert.
"The planned route sees the team passing through 12 states, 88 counties, 350 communities and climbing 170,000 feet. In the first 1,000 miles, due to the mountainous terrain, the boys climbed the equivalent of Mount Everest four times."

Leafy Greens Question
I finally jumped on the kale chip band wagon today, and I loved them, but I'd like to try to make chips with some other greens. Has anyone tried this method with anything other than kale? I've never been much of a leafy green fan, but now that I found a preparation I like, I want to make the most of it. Thanks oh wise SEers!

Alternative Education
Our challenge is not to educate the children we used to have or want to have, but to educate the children who come to the schoolhouse door.H. G. Wells
The conventional school environment does not meet the needs of all students, especially those students who are at-risk, helpless and disconnected. We must seek and develop alternatives that provide the structure for these students to be successful.
The Cape Henlopen School District is developing alternative education programs that assist all students to be successful. These program ideas range from early intervention for at-risk individuals that start the student off on the right track to programs for students who have lost their way entirely. Alternative education types include but are not limited to: alternative classrooms, school-within-a-school programming, separate alternative schools, and second or last-chance schools for disruptive students. Just as there are many types and settings for alternative schools, there are many delivery models based on the programs' philosophy and the needs of the students they serve.
While the short-term goal of alternative education is to meet the needs of some students, the long-term goal must be to identify successful alternative education strategies and use these strategies as a basis for improving the learning opportunities for all children.

Vehicle safety needs for your baby
Safety is one the most important aspects that a parent needs to look into where a child is concerned. In fact this is the reason why several authorities have made the use of a car seat compulsory. You would be surprised to know that child facilities are estimated to have reduced by 71 percent as quoted by certain authorities. Apart from that several other advantages include:
- If you use it properly, there is bound to be a rapid decline in injuries caused to the child. The children are not tossed around getting hurt from a variety of objects in the car
- The fit is very cosy for the child. In fact the adjustable parts can also be fitted as per the child's growth. This restrains the child's movements such that they are saved from dangerous jerks and forces to the body. The five point harness helps in keeping the child intact which at times a single or double belt fails to do since the child might slip out.
- Very recently I bought Camo baby car seats as a gift for my sister's twins. She told me that the various reclining adjustments make the child very comfortable. Did you know that it prevents the child from falling down especially when they are sleeping? It proves to be very useful especially when the child is napping.
Do not forget that the child seat belt harness also boasts of several advantages. Most of the car seats have an adjustable and five point harness system. This helps with two straps over the shoulders, two over the thighs and one is a crotch strap. It helps the child stay firm in the car seat and not slip out. In fact the security of the child is immense since it keeps the child away from being whipped around during the accidents.


text: This picture below was painted by artist David Revoy and is either laughably amusing or frighteningly accurate. How much bigger is the American waistline going to expand before we realize that it will eventually lead to the end our thriving culture. The sad part is that the amount of people in this world that are overweight is equal to the amount who are suffering from malnourishment from lack of food. Pretty shortly the "advanced" citizenship from Wall-E will be an actuality. I could seriously see an America that looks very similar to that.

iCal Question
I have several years of data in my iCal file. Everything in there is under the "Unfiled" folder but with my aging eyes, it's difficult to read.
Is there a way I can convert everything in there from "Unfiled" to "Home" so it will be darker with more contract and therefore, much easier to read? TIA.
I'd like to try to help, but I don't know where you're seeing these folders called "unfiled" and "Home". Could you give more details?
iCal Question
It's the color of an entry into iCal... after you enter iCal, in the left column are the Calendars available: Home, Work, Unfiled, Business, Untitled and Untitled 2. I've always used the "Unfiled" color which is a light beige. It's now a little hard to read. I'd like to change all my entries to the "Home" which is a bright blue background and much easier to read. Thanks.
1 Attachment(s)
When you open iCal, right-click on the "Unfiled" calendar on the left side of the screen. Choose "Get Info" and in there you will have a little dropdown to choose what color you want it to appear as. You can have more than one calendar the same color. Or you can change it to whatever one you want and change your other calendar that has the same color to a different color so you don't get them confused.
iCal question
Will that change ALL my prior entries to the color I want or only future entries?
MYmacROX, Thank You !
It worked! ALL my iCal entries now have the blue background. I can read them! Thank you!

Anyone been to Occasions Restaurant on Eastwood?
We live really close to this place and I've been somewhat tempted by the rib night special but we've never ventured in. Something tells me it may be a touch dive-y, but I could be totally wrong.
Is the food decent? Are they kid friendly? We have a 16 month old.
Would love to know what others' experiences have been.
re: geoprincess
I've been a few times actually.
The food used to be a lot more reasonable but has gone up with the times. It's nothing really to write home about. My brother lives around the corner and goes often for the rib special. The ribs are braised/boiled and the meat literally falls off the bone, no smoke flavour whatsoever. Their BBQ sauce is very vinegary and made me cough a few times upon inhaling. Their burgers are passable, some of their diner classics are solid, their chef/owner may be Greek as their souvlaki is very nice.
I have never really been impressed, but for a reasonable dinner I guess you could do worse.
My brother has a 2 1/2 year old and they've always been very accomodating. It could use a makeover but it's not really a dive per se.....
I've never been but I have some relatives who did just what geoprincess said, they've gone there regularly for years as a sort-of a Cheers-like neighbourhood hangout. They were there more for the drinks and the company than the food. One of them used to have Occasions cater their family parties and I remember the food being so-so, not horrible but not great.
re: JamieK
Ok, so I just returned from Occasions. Contrary to my thoughts that it may be a dive, it was actually very respectable--just outdated. The staff was friendly and the service was relatively quick. My husband got the baked lasagna with a Caesar salad and garlic bread. He said the salad and bread won out over the lasagna but it was ok. *Note: this is not an authentic Caesar. It a run of the mill pub-style, replete with artificial bacon bits, but sometimes that's exactly what one is in the mood for...
I had the cheese burger and poutine and was pleasantly surprised. The burger was generously sized, juicy and pretty flavourful---due in large part to the fact that it was flame broiled. Toppings were standard (lettuce, tomato, pickle, onion, mustard, relish, ketchup).
The poutine was ok. main complaint is that they don't use cheese curds, but rather shredded cheddar and mozzarella. But the gravy was was tasty and the fries were fine.
I plan to go again to check out the souvlaki, wings and ribs (not at the same sitting, of course).
I'll report back.
p.s. Apparently the beer is cheap, but I couldn't partake b/c I'm pregnant.
p.p.s They are kid-friendly. They had highchairs and offered us a kids menu, which we declined b/c our guy had already eaten.
I see this post is from 5 years ago, but here I go anyways. This is one of my neighbourhood restaurant and they still have rib night every Thursday and they are amazing. The portion on the Veal, Chicken, Ribs and Homemade Burgers are huge. Any man will be satisfied. We take our kids their with us quiet often. It is a classy menu. I didn't like the Caesar salad at first as they served it with artificial bacon but I noticed they are ALWAYS upgrading their menu as they started using real bacon when I went back their recently to try that salad again! They have specials going on at least 4 days a week. I recommend this place to anyone who is looking for a classy menu!
re: redrosesrsweet
I have to check this place out! Thanks for the tips everyone.
re: redrosesrsweet
Having grown up in the area, I've never been until last week. Definitely another case of judging a book by it's cover. Good thing the 80's will make another resurgence any day now... ;)
I liked the food and decent beer selection -- even more variety than chains which only serve the mass brews. Friendly service. Sorry that I'd not ventured in years ago. Looking forward to trying the rest of the menu. This place will become part of the regular dinner rotation.

(AP) WASHINGTON - Virginia Gov. Bob McDonnell says the Republican Party must find a way to deliver its core political message and broaden the base of voters who are willing to support GOP candidates.
Interviewed on "CBS This Morning" the morning after voters re-elected Democratic President Barack Obama, McDonnell said Republicans have a very good message for "people of all stripes" about entrepreneurship, small business and opportunity.
But he says the party has to find ways to appeal to broader swaths of voters before election season begins.
Said McDonnell of Tuesday's results: "We are going to digest this over time."
Exit polls show Obama was propelled to a narrow victory over Republican Mitt Romney with strong support from blacks, Latinos and women. Obama also won McDonnell's state of Virginia.

DECATUR, Texas - Colorado's governor says he's hoping the man who was involved in a shootout with Texas authorities today is the same man who shot and killed Colorado's state prison director at his home Tuesday night.
Gov. John Hickenlooper says there's "some indication" it's the same man.
A sheriff says the man is still unidentified, and is "basically legally deceased" while still hooked up to equipment for organ harvesting.
Authorities say he shot and wounded a sheriff's deputy who pulled him over today, and then led officers on a 100-mile-an-hour chase that ended when he crashed into a semi and then opened fire, before being gunned down by his pursuers.
The car he was driving matches the description of one that was seen outside the home of Tom Clements just before he was fatally shot while answering his front door.
Colorado investigators are heading to Texas to determine if the man was involved in the shooting of Clements.

Pub's future is protected as it becomes official asset for Newborough
Posted: April 18, 2014|
EFFORTS to preserve a village pub as a resource for the community have been successful, after it was placed on a list of protected assets.
Restrictions have now been placed on the Red Lion, in Newborough, to try to make sure the building cannot be changed into housing or a supermarket, if it is ever sold.
The move was requested by Newborough Parish Council, after people in the community became concerned when Marston's decided to sell the venue to a private owner.
Council chairman Bethan Waite said: "We were concerned about the future of the pub if it was bought by the wrong people.
"We wanted it to be preserved as a public house for a whole raft of reasons."
The pub is considered to a be a community hub for Newborough and the surrounding area, serving local groups, entertainment and the only social opportunity for those who do not want to leave the village.
"It is the only public location where parishioners can socialise together," the councillor said.
The parking provided at the back of the pub is also a great asset to the village, she said.
According to gov.uk, a facility is considered to be an asset of community value when 'its actual current use furthers the social wellbeing and interests of the local community, or a use in the recent past has done so.'
The new owners of the pub have decided to keep the business going, so the protection has not been necessary on this occasion.
However, now it has been registered, it means that members of the community will have some say over what happens to the building if it is sold in future.
"It hasn't proved necessary at this stage, but it may in the future," Councillor Waite told the Mail.
The bid to register the pub was made last year, and confirmed recently by the leader of East Staffordshire Borough Council.

SISD Community,
 I would like to thank the Sweetwater Reporter for the recent article regarding the new turf installation that will take place this Spring in Mustang Bowl.
The tremendous gift from Mr. Durham is the second time that he has stepped up and made a huge donation to SISD. Both of these were from a man who asked for nothing in return, in fact it was the SISD School Board who suggested that the nearly $1,000,000 in selfless donations made by this gentleman be acknowledged in a special way.
Mustang Bowl is a special place, it always will be the Home of the Mustangs, it always will be the place of many special Mustang seasons, it will always be Mustang Bowl. Many, many Mustang teams and their classmates have had wonderful memories, victories, and graduation ceremonies in this special place. I am very proud of the improvements that have been able to keep the facility in great shape and a destination for continued Sammy Baugh Classics, playoff games, and future special events.
The new turf and the honoring of Larry Durham's donation is changing nothing. Mustang Bowl is and will always be "The Mustang Bowl," a new playing surface with a generous donor's name on it only adds to the great facility. It will allow a safer environment for the athletes using it, continued use by many other SISD school and community groups, more outside teams and their fans coming into and spending money with Sweetwater retailers, and most of all, continue to make Mustang Bowl the talk of West Texas like it has been for 70 + years.

Weren't those the same refs that worked the Toledo game??
I just hate that the call was made because it took away to what was a great game. Saying that a lot of you guys making it seem like k state wouldve won the game. There was more than enough time for Syracuse to get into field goal range and win and if k state woulda just kicked the field goal instead of faking it where not even talking about it. So let's just talk about this great victory for the Cuse they earned it
How many times these two faced each other in a bowl game? It seem like they play each other every year they're both bowl eligible
Mookie is a liability on the defensive end
Yes I will say that I expect Fab to play better but he has a lot of potential. May be as soon as next year we'll have a dominate front court with him and keita..may be even this year with Jackson
I think people need to relax..this team still may be special this is a team with so many young players there will be bumps in the road early..its going to take some time for the team to gel..a win is a win
How about we support the guy, obviously his time as an orange didnt end the way we all liked but reading all the articles about him they're saying he's doing everything right and whats to be a better personally applaud him. what kind of grown men are we to want a kid to fail?
Ive been an eagles fan since the day McNabb was drafted and still am today..Go EAGLES
i am a current Delaware State student and a graduate of Corcoran High School so im bery excited to see this game
everyone calm down richmond always give SU a run for its money but it was a good test for the Orange and they won thats the important thing
i just saw the express and i have to admit it really made me appreciate my life..but ok i understand the WVU scene was faults but the Texas game was false the game wasnt that close in real life and im pretty sure other scenes didnt happen..its a movie its just entertainment
wow we not even half way through the football season and we already talking about basketball..lmao
When is his movie coming out???
I find myself watching the highlights of the virginia tech syracuse game from 1998...those were the days

The midsession budget review (which gives the White House's revised projections on deficit, growth and unemployment) is supposed to be released in late July, but was kicked down the road this year thanks to congressional budget infighting and summer vacations. The White House announced it will finally be released at some point this week, but didn't give an exact date (prediction: Friday afternoon, while everyone's stuck in gridlock en route to a Labor Day vacation):
The White House said on Monday that its midsession review of President Barack Obama's fiscal 2012 budget proposal would be released later this week, but an exact date had not yet been set. …
The nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office released its own midsession review on Wednesday, predicting the U.S. deficit and debt as a share of GDP would fall over the next 10 years, provided a range of tax breaks were allowed to expire.
It also forecast U.S. unemployment would remain stuck above 8 percent and growth would be tepid through the 2012 elections, as the country struggles to recover from the deepest recession since the 1930s. U.S. unemployment was 9.1 percent in July.
Obama's 2012 budget proposal was overwhelmingly rejected by Congress last spring, so it will be interesting to see what changes, if any, have been included in the review. It could potentially be a good indicator of what we'll hear from the president's jobs proposal speech next week. This isn't likely to be a happy report (especially judging from the CBO), but it will be helpful for him to at least get the bad news out of the way before turning to his jobs plan.
