1. Field of the Invention
The present invention relates generally to tape printing devices such as label printers and more particularly pertains to improved label printers, which print alphanumeric characters on a strip of tape and which employ readily replaceable cartridges containing an ink ribbon and a tape strip.
2. Description of the Prior Art
Printing devices such as label tape printers are constructed to enable printed characters to be impressed on a strip of tape. Early such tape printers used print wheel disks having raised characters thereon and were of the "spin and print" manual form wherein the wheel disk was manually rotated to locate the desired character to be printed at the print point. These impact tape printing machines were subsequently modified to be keyboard operated as are typewriters. Such early impact printing devices tended to be large, heavy, cumbersome and slow. These devices have recently been replaced by printers based on thermal printing technology. Present thermal transfer printing uses a heat generating print head having an array of heatable wire pins. By selectively heat activating specific pins to form a sequence of pixels, various printable characters are formed on the ink ribbon for final transfer to a tape strip.
Label tape printers of this type are generally provided with cartridges that contain both the ink ribbon and the tape strip. It is, of course, desirable that such cartridges be readily removable when either the ink ribbon or the tape therein have been depleted and be readily insertable when a fresh cartridge is to be used. In some presently available label tape printers the printing and driving apparatus of the printer device are attached to the printer and removal and reloading of the cartridge requires their disengagement. Such procedure is both complicated and time consuming and in some instances requires the initial opening of the printer and/or cartridge cover to permit the release of the drive means and print head from the cartridge. For these reasons, it is desirable to provide a tape printer and a cartridge therefor in which the cartridge may be readily removed and a new cartridge readily replaced without any complex and time consuming effort.
In known prior art label printers, the tape and ink ribbon cartridge is vertically inserted. In such devices, the print head, and/or feed roller, and/or platen must be displaced to an inoperative position in order to provide clearance for locating and aligning the tape and ink ribbon cartridge in its print and feed positions. Thereafter the print head, feed roller and platen had to be returned to their operative positions. This procedure necessitates time consuming effort and manipulation on the part of the operator.
An example of a prior art label tape printing device incorporating vertical loading of the ribbon and tape cartridge and structure for releasing the print head and drive from the cartridge is U.S. Pat. No. 4,647,235 which discloses a cartridge for a thermal printer that includes a platen and feed rollers for advancing the tape. The prior art devices disclosed in U.S. Pat. Nos. 4,832,514 and 4,836,697 include tape cartridges that are vertically inserted and then moved upon closure of the cover into operative position in the printer housing.
U.S. Pat. Nos. 4,930,913, 4,917,514 and 5,022,771 disclose label tape printers which include vertically directed drive spindles and posts for cooperation with rotatable hubs within the cartridge for controlling and advancing the ribbon and tape within the cartridge. U.S. Pat. No. 5,056,940 discloses a label tape printer device which includes a pivotable cover for closing over and operatively positioning a vertically insertable cartridge. The ink ribbon and tape are advanced by a pair of drive rollers one of which is a part of the printer device and the other is contained within the cartridge. U.S. Pat. No. 4,815,875 discloses structure similar to the above patent but further includes a receiving tray for supporting and positioning the cartridge in its print transfer alignment position. U.S. Pat. No. 5,078,523 discloses a thermal tape printing machine which comprises a cassette receiving area formed as a recess in the rear wall of the printing machine. The recess includes a vertical surface through which extend a print head, a platen, a cassette lock, and a guide pin as well as other elements all for engagement with coacting internal parts of the cassette when the cassette is inserted into the recess.
U.S. Pats. Nos. 3,643,779 and 3,804,227 which relate to typewriters and cartridges therefor disclose laterally insertable typewriter cartridges for feeding ink ribbon to and from an external typewriter print point. The cartridge disclosed does not include a platen nor a tape nor can it accept a print head for internal printing.
The present invention comprises a label tape thermal printing device and a tape and ink ribbon cartridge for use therewith. The printing device may include a keyboard and a screen for viewing keyboard input and messages. The device is provided with a horizontal lateral opening for receiving the tape and ink ribbon cartridge and for supporting the cartridge for thermal transfer printing. The printing device is also provided with a print head and associated printing controls. The print head is operatively interfaced with a platen rotatably supported within the cartridge.
The cartridge comprises an upper cover and a lower base and contains a supply of label tape and ink ribbon, a platen having a gear thereon, a tape supply spool, an ink ribbon supply spool, and an ink ribbon rewind spool having a gear thereon. These rotatable structures are suitably carried by appropriate hubs formed in the base or cover. In one embodiment, the platen gear extends outwardly in a lateral direction from the front of the cartridge into engagement with a printer drive gear for rotation of the platen and the ink ribbon take-up spool to which the platen gear is coupled. In another embodiment, the ink ribbon rewind spool gear extends outwardly in a lateral direction from the front of the cartridge into engagement with the printer drive gear for rotation of the ink ribbon take-up spool and the platen to which the ink ribbon take-up spool is coupled. Cooperating elements are formed opposite these hubs and telescope therein when the cover and base are joined to provide a stable aligned housing structure. The cartridge is formed with an outer notch for latching engagement with a latch in the opening in the printer device when the cartridge is inserted into the printer device. The cartridge is further provided with an exit port for the tape and an opening through which the printer print head extends into the cartridge. The thermal print head is biased against the platen and the interposed ink ribbon and tape.
In the first embodiment when the cartridge is horizontally inserted into the printer device the platen gear engages the printer drive means. During the thermal printing operation in the first operation, rotation of the platen gear by the printer drive means advances both the tape and the ink ribbon since the rewind spool is coupled to the platen drive gear. In the alternate embodiment the printer drive means is coupled to rotate the gear carried by the rewind spool which in turn engages and drives the platen gear.
Since the platen is contained in the replaceable cartridge, there is no need for cleaning and maintaining the platen as is the case in the prior art devices wherein the platen is located in the printer. Should the platen in the cartridge become inoperable, a fresh cartridge may be readily inserted in its place. In contrast, an inoperable platen in the prior art label printers will cause the entire printer to be inoperable. Further, lateral insertion of the cartridge eliminates the requirement that the print head, tape feed roller and platen be moved between operative and inoperative orientations. In addition, lateral insertion further eliminates the need, present in certain prior art printers, to position the cartridge printer upside down to open a door in the printer base in order to change the cartridge. Additionally, the present invention eliminates the need for operating levers or moving covers to load and reload cartridges and the need for accurate alignment and positioning of the cartridge.
Accordingly, it is an object of this invention to provide a low cost, reliable, improved thermal tape printing device adapted for use with a horizontally insertable tape and ink ribbon cartridge for imprinting desired characters on a strip of tape.
Another object of this invention is to provide a simple, compact, reliable tape and ink ribbon cartridge which includes a platen located therein.
Another object of the present invention is to provide a tape and ink ribbon cartridge which includes means for driving engagement with a printer device drive means to advance the tape and ink ribbon.
A still further object is to provide a tape and ink ribbon cartridge including means for cooperating with a latch means carried in the opening of a printer device.
Still another object of the present invention is to provide a tape and ink ribbon cartridge having an improved coupling and drive system. Other objects and many of the attendant advantages of this invention will be readily appreciated as the same become better understood by references to the following detailed description when considered in connection with the accompanying drawings in which like references numerals designate like parts throughout the figures thereof.

In the illustrated embodiment of FIG. 1 a thermal label tape printer 10 is shown with a tape and ink ribbon supply cartridge 12 for inserting into a cartridge opening 13 of the tape printer 10. The printer includes a keyboard portion 14 having a plurality of print character keys 16 and operation control keys 18. The tape printer 10 further includes a monitor screen 20 which enables the operator to view the keyed inputs and any prompts and messages indicated by the printer device.
The printer device may include, in addition to other various parts, a thermal printer head, a motor for advancing both the tape and ink ribbon contained in the cartridge, and a structure for receiving and retaining the cartridge. An operator, in using the printer device, first selects a mode of operation and then activates the desired input character keys to produce a desired series of characters for imprinting on a tape.
Referring now to FIGS. 2, 3 and 4, the cartridge 12 includes a cartridge cover 22 which is joined to a cartridge base 24 to form a housing therebetween. Upstanding retaining and aligning posts 26 formed on the base 24 are received into corresponding recesses 28 in the cover 22 when the cover 22 is joined to the base 24. A cartridge side wall 30 is formed with an inwardly directed notch portion 32 defined by a forward abutment wall 34 and a camming wall 36.
The cartridge base 24 carries an integral upstanding post 38 which is positioned to seat and telescope into a corresponding rewind spool hub 40 formed in the cover 22. Likewise, an upstanding stud 42 is disposed to telescopingly seat into a supply spool hub 44. A base hub 46 is positioned to mate with an integral cover hub 48. The post 38, hub 42 and hub 46 seat within their corresponding hubs 40, 44, and 48 to provide a relatively rigid and stable cartridge assembly. A label tape supply spool 50 is rotatably carried on the cover hub 48 and an ink ribbon supply spool 52 is rotatably mounted on the supply spool hub 44. A rewind spool 54 is mounted on a forked hub 56. An ink ribbon 57 extends between the supply spool 52 and the rewind spool 54. The forked hub 56 is supported for rotation on the rewind spool hub 40. The forked hub 56 is formed with a plurality of extending flexible fingers 58 and includes a rewind gear 60 integrally formed thereon. Disposed below the rewind gear 60 is a hub base 62 which rests on a surface 64 of the base 24 to position the rewind gear 60 above and spaced from the base 24. A roller platen 66 is rotatably mounted on a platen hub 68. The platen hub 68 seats on an opposed post 70 formed on the cover 22. The opposite end 72 of the platen hub 68 terminates in a platen gear 74 which is in rotary driving engagement with the rewind gear 60 (FIGS. 5 & 6).
The flexible fingers 58 act as a slip clutch so that if the ink ribbon 57 becomes excessively taut, damage to the ink ribbon 57 and to the rewind gear 60 is prevented. Tightening of the ink ribbon 57 can occur due to the progressive increase in diameter of the ink ribbon 57 would onto the rewind spool 54 by a constant drive rate of the rewind gear 60. When the ink ribbon 57 becomes excessively taut, the rewind spool 54 will slip against the flexible fingers 58.
The overall configuration of the cartridge 12 is defined by its peripheral walls which include side walls 30 and 76, a rear wall 78, and a front wall 80. The front wall 80 includes a step wall portion 82, an arcuate wall 84 which encloses the hub 40, and a second step wall portion 86. The arcuate wall 84 and the step wall portion 82 terminate proximate each other but are slightly spaced apart to provide a cartridge port 88 through which a strip of the tape 50 may exit the cartridge 12. The cartridge 12 is formed with a space 90 (FIG. 2) between the cover 22 and the base 24 near the second step wall portion 86 to permit a portion 92 of the platen gear 74 to extend outwardly of the cartridge 12.
Referring now to FIG. 5 where there is shown a gear drive train assembly 96 which includes a D.C. motor 98, such as model number M34E-5C, manufactured by Mitsumi Electric Co. of Tokyo, Japan. A motor shaft 100 carries a pinion gear 102 that drivingly engages an intermediate idler gear 104. The idler gear 104 is integrally formed with an idler pinion gear 106. The aforementioned gear drive train assembly 96 includes components, namely, the pinion gear 102, motor 98, the idler gear 104 and the idler pinion gear 106 which are all mounted on and form a part of the tape printer 10.
When the cartridge 12 has been laterally inserted to its operative position (FIG. 5) the intermediate idler pinion gear 106 engages the platen gear 74 which, in turn, meshes with the ribbon rewind spool gear 60 to complete the drive coupling from the motor 98 to impart stepwise rotation to the roller platen 66 and the rewind spool 54.
A latch 108 is pivotally supported about a pivot 110 in the label tape printer 10 proximate the opening 13 into which the cartridge 12 is inserted. One end 112 of the latch 108 includes a latching portion 114. Its opposite end 116 is formed with an integrally formed finger actuator 118 for biasing the latch 108 in a counter clockwise direction to position the latching portion 114 into the path of the cartridge side wall 30 upon insertion of the cartridge 12. The latching portion 114 bears against the cartridge side wail 30 until it enters the notch portion 32 where it engages the camming wall 36 and terminates against the abutment wall 34 to align and retain the cartridge 12 in the tape printer opening 13.
One end 120 of a print head bias spring 122 is connected to a spring anchor 124 on a label tape printer housing 126. The opposite end 128 of the bias spring 122 is seated in a print head aperture 130 on a print head assembly 132. The bias spring 122 biases a print head 134 about a pivot 136 to abut through port opening 97 of cartridge 12 against a tape 138 and the ink ribbon 57 disposed intermediate the print head 134 and the roller platen 66. Circuitry in the tape printer 10 drives the roller platen 66 to advance the tape 138 and the ink ribbon 57 and to successively energize the pixels defining the characters inputted by the operator as the tape 138 and the ink ribbon 57 advance past the print head 134. In effect, the appropriate heat elements of the thermal print head 134 are energized so as to transfer the inputted characters from the ink ribbon 57 to the tape 138 as the tape 138 and the ink ribbon 57 advance past the print head 134. The leading end of the tape 138 exits through the cartridge port 88 and then through a port 140 formed in the tape printer 10. The used ink ribbon 57 winds onto the rewind spool 54. One suitable thermal print head for use herein is the print head manufactured under model number NV4818-YA by ROHM of Kyoto, Japan.
The pressing action of the print head 134 against the roller platen 66 biases the entire cartridge 12 outwardly of the opening 13 (FIG. 6). Therefore, when the operator wishes to remove the cartridge 12 from the tape printer 10, it is only necessary to depress the latch 108. An opening 142 formed in the housing 126 provides access for the operator to depress the latch 108. A tape cutter lever 150 is pivotably mounted on a post 152 on the tape printer 10. A blade 154 is attached to the lever 150 and has a cutting edge 156 thereon. Referring to FIG. 5 with the cartridge 12 located in its operative position, the operator can pivot the lever 150 counterclockwise about the post 152. The cutting edge 156 will first press the tape 138 against the step wall portion 82 of the cartridge 12 and then cut the tape 138 from the tape supply spool 50. The step wall portion 82 is used as a backing surface for the cutting action. When the operator releases the lever 150, a leaf spring 158 abutting against a wall 160 formed in the housing 126 will pivot the lever 150 clockwise to remove the cutting edge 156 from the step wall portion 82. The leaf spring 158 is rigidly attached to the lever 150 by a rivet 162. If the cutting edge 156 becomes too dull to efficiently cut the tape 138, the blade 154 may be removed from the lever 150 by conventional means such as a screw (not shown) and replaced with a new blade 154. Alternatively, the blade 154 may be riveted to the lever 150 and the combined lever 150 and blade 154 may be replaced. The step wall portion 82 being formed integral with the cartridge cover 22 will automatically be replaced when each new cartridge 12 is inserted into the tape printer 10.
An alternate embodiment of the present invention is illustrated in FIGS. 8, 9 and 10. FIG. 8 shows that portion of a label tape printer 200 which receives a tape and ink ribbon cartridge 202. The cartridge 202 contains therein a tape supply spool 204 on which is wound a tape 206, an ink ribbon supply spool 208, an ink ribbon rewind spool 210 and a roller platen 212. The roller platen 212 pivots about post 213 and rigidly supports a platen drive gear 214 which is positioned for meshed engagement with a rewind gear 216 mounted on the rewind spool 210. A portion 218 of the rewind gear 216 extends outwardly of a cartridge front wall 220. The tape 206 extends from the tape supply spool 204 and passes against and in front of the roller platen 212 and into a port 222 of a cartridge sidewall 224. An ink ribbon 226 follows a path so as to pass from the ink ribbon supply spool 208 in front of the roller platen 212 and wound onto the rewind spool 210. An opposite cartridge sidewall 228 is formed with a notch 230 that includes a cam surface 232 and an abutment 234.
Referring now specifically to FIG. 8, the tape printer 200 is formed with a lateral opening 236 through which the cartridge 202 loads into the tape printer 200 in a direction shown by an arrow 237 and is slidingly supported on a shelf 238. A D.C. motor 240 is mounted in the tape printer 200 opposite the opening 236 and supports a pinion gear 242 on a motor shaft 244. A drive gear 246 is coupled to the pinion gear 242 for rotation therewith. A thermal print head 248 is mounted to pivot about a mount 249 under the bias force exerted by a print head spring 250. A printer sidewall 252 is formed with an inwardly directed arcuate portion 254 which includes a central slot 256. An opposite sidewall 258 is formed with a latch opening 260 for permitting a latch head 262 to extend into the opening 236. A latch 264 is pivotally supported about a pivot 266 and is biased in a counter clockwise direction by a latch spring 268. One end 270 of a rod 272 is attached to a lower arm 274 of the latch 264. The other end 276 of the rod 272 terminates in a button 278 which is accessible from the exterior of the tape printer 200.
During initial insertion of the cartridge 202 into the opening 236 of the tape printer 200 (see FIG. 9), the latch 264 is deflected against the force of the spring 268 by the cartridge sidewall 228. Cartridge insertion continues until the rewind gear 216 engages the drive gear 246 and the latch head 262 enters the notch 230 to fixedly position the cartridge 202 within the tape printer 200. The engaged gears effectively couple the drive of the motor 240 to both the ink ribbon rewind spool 210 and the roller platen 212. The print head spring 250 biases a thermal print head portion 280 in the direction of the roller platen 212 so as to bear against the ink ribbon 226, the tape 206 and the roller platen 212. Under this print head bias pressure, rotation of the roller platen 212 advances the tape 206 and the ink ribbon 226 in a direction to cause the tape 206 to exit through the cartridge port 222 and the label printer central slot 256 after the tape 206 has been thermally imprinted.
When it is desired to remove the cartridge 202 from the tape printer 200, it is only necessary to push a button 278 to release the latch 264 and retract the latch head 262 from the notch 230. Upon release of the latch head 262, the biasing force of the print head 248 against the roller platen 212 moves the cartridge 202 partially outwardly through the opening 236. It is clear from the foregoing description of the alternate embodiment that it basically differs from the first described embodiment in that the cartridge ink ribbon rewind gear is driven by the printer motor instead of being driven by the roller platen gear.
Obviously, many modifications and variations of the present invention are possible in the light of the above teachings. It is therefore understood that, within the scope of the appended claims, the invention may be practiced otherwise than specifically described.

Calling on Fair-Minded Americans in the Land of Lincoln
February 22, 2013 by HRC staff
Post submitted by Nick Martin, HRC field assistant
Two time zones and more than 700 miles separating them, volunteers in Washington, D.C., and Chicago gathered to phonebank for marriage equality in the Land of Lincoln.
Callers were talking to constituents in targeted House districts, urging their legislators to vote in favor of marriage equality.
In Washington, volunteers called out of the Human Rights Campaign's headquarters. At the same time, at the annual Lambda Legal Freedom to Marry event at the National Museum of Mexican Art in Chicago, volunteers and campaign organizers also made calls to build momentum for marriage in Illinois. Collectively, the two phone banks made over 5,000 calls into key districts.
On Valentine's Day last week, the Illinois Senate passed the marriage equality bill 34-21. Now the bill moves to the Illinois House. The House committee is expected to vote next Tuesday with the full floor to take up the bill within the next few weeks.
HRC is hard at work in Illinois with 15 organizers on the ground and is a proud member of the Illinois Unites for Marriage campaign, the coalition working to secure marriage equality for all loving couples in Illinois.
The campaign to make Illinois the tenth state to grant marriage equality is gaining momentum. To get involved in the Illinois campaign contact firstname.lastname@example.com. For residents of Washington, DC, contact firstname.lastname@example.com to get involved with local phone banks. Can't make the events? You can still take action and contact your representative to urge his/her support of marriage equality.

LOTTO PORTINERIA 5 is part of a house built in 1920 and located in the Roman district of Garbatella.

Additional Location Information
LOTTO 5 PORTINERIA is a house of 60 square meters: entrance hall (divisible into two rooms by a movable wall) with kitchenette, one bedroom, two bathrooms and a small garden with citrus trees and vegetable garden.
The furniture, nice and original, is made partly from recycled materials, such as chandeliers from the nearby market of Porta Portese, kitchen Gasfire and distributor of Coca Cola 50s, a traveling trunk of a cardinal serves as a small wardrobe, or the headboard of the bed from old shutters of the house.
The furnishings are sought: electric switches Bauhaus 1930, rollaway beds in the wall, horizontal shower with water jets. Basic and practical solutions for the industrial resin floor, chosen for ease of cleaning and hygiene, or the kitchen sink into concrete grit that recalls those existing in this type of housing in 1920.

"A simply stunning apartment which exceeded all expectations"
My grandfather was born in Garbatella and I still have family in the area so it is a perfect base for me when visiting. I work in the travel industry but stumbled accross this apartment on the web after a disappointing B & B experience last year.
The apartment is stunning - it has everything you could possible need, whilst eptimosing stylish minimilaist elegance and maximum functionality. The rooms are much bigger than they appear in the photo's and when my relatives came to collect me from the apartment for an outing, they were also impressed with the sympathetic and stylish refurbishment within a much loved Lotto.
Bars and restaurants are plentiful and a short stroll away from the apartment so a chilled glass of prossecco was never far away.
We stayed for a week and the weather was glorious so the courtyard garden was perfect for relaxing with a glass of wine and a book after a pounding the pavements.
I really can't fault this beautiful place and will return at the earliest opportunity to share this hidden gem with my friends and family.

"Superb holidays!"
Very nice hosts. They arranged a taxi for us on our arrival. Apartment is great, extremely well arranged: very cool, practical and clean. Very very nice. The neighborhood is lovely: away from touristic spots but very close to them at the same time. We were living in the real Italy, surrounded only by Italians. Garbatella is a fantastic area.
We reccommend Lotto5 to everybody.
Thank you Riccardo!

"Funky apartment in an enchanting neighbourhood"
The apartment is decorated in austere chic. It's funky and charming with a little garden alongside. The location is only 10 minutes from Termini by metro. Garbatella is a 1920s worker housing estate featuring wonderful 'Garden City' architecture. A must for travellers interested in city development and keen to get off the beaten track while still being close to all the big attractions of Rome. A quiet and peaceful spot - almost like being in the country.

"Delightful, comfortable, well-equipped and refreshing place to s"
~A delightful place to stay. Very comfortable for two couples. Clean, friendly and a helpful welcome - even the pre-arranged taxi from the airport (but not needed on return as we found the apartment to be very accessible by train and metro). Garbatella is a delightful residential area with good local shops and amenities, with the apartment only 7 minutes walk from the Metro station, so very easy access both into and out of the city. Nice to have a small garden to sit in with shady trees dropping fruit all around. The apartment is well-equipped (although I do wish more Italians were in the habit of using an electric kettle!). Local people very friendly and good local restaurants and food outlets. Go south one station on the Metro (or you can walk) to St Paul's outside the walls for a visit off the main tourist trail to the third largest church in the world, with beautiful artwork and stonework, and where, unlike the Vatican and some of the other big city attractions, they make visitors feel welcome and provide excellent food at very reasonable prices.

"Perfect stay"
Lotto5 is a beautiful apartment located within 10 minutes's walk from Metro B station Garbetella. Considering Garbetella is only 5 stops away from Station Termini, the apartment provides very convenient logistics for our stay in Rome. We like the interior design and furniture a lot and love the beautiful garden with the very handy laundry room in it. The apartment is very spacious for two to stay and is able to be divided to create a second bedroom (we didn't use it though.)
The building was built in the 1920s, by the side of a beautiful piaza with a fountain in the middle of it. In the same building, by the piaza, there is also a very popular restraurant. Gourmet food on your doorsteps!
Ricarrdo, the owner is very friendly and has been very helpful during our stay. He is so knowledgeable about Rome and we got many useful tips from him. He also put a lot of good contents on his website regarding the apartment and Garbetella.
There is a board in th living room where guests can leave their remarks about the apartment. There are many nice drawings and we also left our big "thank you" in Chinese Characters at the end of our perfect holiday in Rome.
The only pity is that Riccardo's car was under maintenance and we didn't get the chance to go on a ride with it.

"appartement et quartier très agréables"
Nous avons passé 5 jours très agréables dans cet appartement du quartier Garbatella. Riccardo nous a très gentiment accueillis , et l'appartement est impeccable , joliment rénové et bien équipé. Nous avons beaucoup aimé le quartier Garbatella plein de charme , très calme , très arboré . Ses maisons des années 20 et ses jardins méritent une découverte à pied. Le bus et le métro vers le centre sont à 10 minutes , et à la fin de nos journées de tourisme , le calme de l'appartement était très appréciable. Nous recommandons cette adresse sans réserves. Ps:en bas de la rue , il faut aller goûter les gelati le soir , tout le quartier est là.

"One month in Garbatella, Roma"
Nous avons passé un mois entier dans cet appartement magnifique avec nos trois enfants. Il n'y a pas eu de surprise par rapport à l'annonce. C'est un appartement très agréable, lumineux, propre et refait à neuf. La chambre est très reposante, la literie excellente. Le tout est décoré avec beaucoup de goût. C'était un havre de paix et de calme lorsque nous rentrions le soir. Riccardo est très sympa et très arrangeant. Le petit jardin est un plus mais nous n'avons pas pu en profiter car nous y étions en février... Quant au quartier, on ne savait pas trop, ne connaissant pas du tout Rome et finalement, si l'on devait y retourner, c'est de nouveau à la Garbatella et dans l'appartement de Riccardo que nous resterions. C'est à notre avis l'un des plus beaux et plus authentiques quartiers de Rome

"Splendida Casa"
La casa è splendida sia per l''arredo che per i confort inclusi. La zona gode di un'ottima tranquillità e di molto verde piacevole da godersi. Ci si immerge in un'atmosfera di quartiere tipica della Roma d'altri tempi. Comodissimo per visitare Roma, si possono raggiungere i monumenti e le piazze più centrali in poco tempi tramite la metropolitana. Per chi come noi si muove in auto, la zona consente di trovare facilmente un parcheggio. L'accoglienza e la disponibilità del propietario è favolosa. Ottima location per un soggiorno sia breve che lungo.

Cet appartement est habilement décoré, bien équipé, à proximité d'une station de métro qui est à environ à 3 stations de métro du Colisée. Il y a plusieurs services autours (épicerie, restaurant, guichet automatique, etc.) dont un petit café qui sert le meilleur de Rome à mon avis!

"Great apartment for travelers who want to live the real Rome"
The apartment is located in Garbatella, an up and coming area of Rome, which we found full of charm and friendly people. If you would like to be immersed in Rome as the Romans live it, this is a place to call home for your stay. The owner is happy to provide restaurant and other recommendations for the area, as well as internet, if needed. We would highly recommend this location for independent travelers

On the first day that it I went out flyfishing off the rocks in marblehead and caught three striped bass. It is a good solid lure and catches fish.
Works well and fast. -
By: Greatpointscott
Caught several small blue fish, 1 1/2 lbs, ,approximate size, off beach at Boca Grande, Fl. First one on first cast.. Blues are not a staple of the west coast of Florida so this was exciting.. My home is Nantucket and I'm used to much bigger blues. I Will be back for more of these clousers. Thank you Orvis

Best go to fly when in doubt. -
By: RaRa from Montclair, NJ
From Barracuda in Jamaica to Bones in Anguilla to Stripers in Martha's Vineyard and Fairfield, CT. The one fly was always Chartreuce and White Clouser. Thank U . Bob Clouser. P.S. Not to mention Bass on the Susq. River in PA. with a trip with Bob's son many yrs ago.

In the building Dwight Howard's exploits helped build it's hard to find even the smallest remnant of the former Orlando center these days. The photographs, murals and other likenesses that once adorned virtually every other crevice inside the Magic's Amway Center have been scraped away, now just painful reminders of championship aspirations never realized. After taking the Magic through one of the most tumultuous years in their history, the six-time all-star who called himself Superman is now a villain - departed from the city he once pledged to take to its first NBA title. Change is everywhere for the new-look Magic. Orlando enters the season with a new general manager, coach and roster full of new faces - and a promise to recover is the rallying cry of those that are left. The marketing slogan for the first year of the post-Howard era: ''We will.'' ''It's a new, exciting beginning, a new era for Magic basketball,'' CEO Alex Martins said. ''It's great to see a bunch of guys i...

True understanding requires students to move beyond initial acquisition and integration of new knowledge toward growing levels of refinement and use. Design Question 4 deals with strategies to help students progress beyond basic levels of knowing by engaging them in tasks that require experimentation with the new knowledge—that is, generating and testing hypotheses about it. The next module—Module 11—addresses four specific types of tasks that can be used to this end: experimental-inquiry tasks, problem-solving tasks, decision-making tasks, and investigation tasks. Module 12 deals with engaging students in designing their own tasks and using cooperative groups. However, to effectively use tasks for generating and testing hypotheses, students must understand the nature of support. Specifically, they must understand the following:
This module—Module 10—addresses strategies for enhancing students' understanding of and ability to use these elements.

Jack Smooth
Jack Smooth, real name Ron Wells, born in London 1970.
Ron is often credited as the pioneer of Jungle techno, and certainly an early architect of Drum and Bass, in particular the 'Intelligent' or 'Liquid' variant.
During his career Ron produced over 200 dance music records, spanning many genres. He usually focused on creating his own chord structures and melodies using synthesizers, as opposed to relying on sampling the work of others. His music embodies an electronic, ambient techno signature with production standards that are recognisable as more 'polished' than typical underground dance music.
Ron began his musical life as a Pirate Radio DJ in 1987 on the Crystal, Medina & WLR stations in London.
During 1987 Ron met Chris Simmonds at Medina Radio and they went on to form Wax Factory Productions in 1989. Wax Factory were one of the first UK dance music labels to deal directly with record shops - not having a distribution deal. In years to come, Wax factory would earn cult status as an underground UK house and techno label. Many, to this day, believe that their productions were from the USA, due to their authentic Techno sound.
Around 1991 Ron formed Sound Entity Records as a solo project where he was introduced to Phil Wells of Basement Records by DJ Loftgroover. Ron and Phil quickly developed a powerful relationship where Ron went on to produce and co-write the majority of the first 30 releases on the label. The Basement Records label today is often credited as the most influential label that the Jungle Techno scene produced.
In 1992 Ron masterminded the hit single Trip to Trumpton project with Urban Hype, where he co-wrote and produced the single. The single reached no 6 in the National Charts and kept its top ten status for one month.
1993 saw Ron forming Fast Floor Productions (sub label of Basement Records) with Paul Clarke, where they produced many Jungle Techno anthems. Their music was highly regarded for its combination on musicality and dance floor presence by many DJs, in particular, Top Buzz. In 1994 Fast Floor produced an LP called "On a Quest For Intelligence" which has gone on to demand crown jewels prices on the second-hand music market.
In 1995 Ron Wells and Paul Clarke formed Earl Grey. This was specifically a drum and bass / jazz crossover project. They signed to MCA music publishing and Carl Cox's Worldwide Ultimatum label to release the LP "Purveyors of the New Groove".
In 1996 DJ Dr S Gachet invited Ron to join him in producing a 2 hour mix for BBC Radio 1's One In The Jungle show, which was aired in December of that year.
During 1996 Ron and Paul could sense that a decline in the music industry was on the horizon. This led them to take the decision to leave music behind for a while and concentrate on starting a commercial business. They changed their name to Fast Floor Multimedia Ltd in 1997 and embarked on building a marketing communications company, which still exists today.
Moving into business however has not meant the end of Ron and Paul's music careers. They both have a considerable number of works within the Sonoton Music Library in Germany and they continue to write music to this day.

ok upset is not the right word. annoyed maybe. i bought a thirsties duo diaper (the pocket) maybe a month ago. well the velcro on the front started coming off the diaper because it had separated where the seam was. so the edging of the velcro is no longer attached. i sent it back and they repaired it. but this repair consisted of cutting of what was torn and just sewing the torn velcro back on. i could have done that! and without missing a diaper out of my very small stash! is it too much to ask for a new diaper? or at least a new velcro strip? these are not cheap diapers. it seems like this is just going to break again, and probably after my warranty is over! what do you ladies think?? can i do anything about it??
am i being too picky or would you be upset too?
k, mom to pc (9.17.09), zr (10.05.11), and ae (5.8.13)
Comments (9)
No you are not being too picky. I would email their customer service and explain the problem, tell them it was already "repaired" and you didn't like the quality and could they do something else. They usually have good customer service so they should. I would as for a new piece of velcro at the very least.
Deborah ~ RN against circumcision & vaccines
glad to see i am not alone in my thinking. that just doesn't seem acceptable to me! anyone else?
k, mom to pc (9.17.09), zr (10.05.11), and ae (5.8.13)
I think if you can see the repair it wasn't a good enough repair.
You paid for a new diaper which would continue to be "new-ish" for a reasonable amount of time.
ERFing Gluten-Free Sheep-Farming CPST Mom to 2 adult boys, 2 little daughters (Aug '10, Dec '14)
Wow, I'd be mad. I hope you didn't have to pay for shipping for the "repair"! The repaired diaper with the bad velcro makes it a 2nd. If you paid for 1st quality then you should get a replacement. If this were Fuzzi Bunz they would have sent you a new one, no questions asked. That's what they did for me AND my cousin when we had issues with our new diapers on two totally separate occasions.

drop the hint they will be losing some business and you will probably be amazed how fast you get a new diaper.

luckily i did not have to pay shipping either way.
i knew there was a possibility that the diaper would simply be repaired, but come on. i will be emailing them shortly. thanks for all the support!

I'd be mad.
But at least that's better than gDiapers.
Their two types of velcro really stink (both the bad kind they knew had problems, AND the new updated version!) I complained, got no response. I complained again, and was sent some replacement velcro in the mail.
Um, I don't own a sewing machine. What good is that?
Needless to say, they lost a customer.
wow! i emailed thirsties yesterday and got the best response i could imagine today.
this is what i said:
I received my repaired diaper a few days ago, and honestly I am not too happy with it. The flawed hook and loop was simply sewn back down, resulting in a less than brand new diaper. It is likely this will be come separated again, as the original edge is no longer even there. Not to mention, it does not look that great. If this was a seconds item, I would understand, but I expect more when I paid full price. Please let me know how you intend to make this right.
and their reply:
I apologize, our policy is to repair items within the 90 day warranty ONLY if it will look new after the repair. Obviously, this one should have been replaced for you.
I am sending out a new Duo Diaper for you today via USPS. That should get to you in about 3 business days. You may keep the old diaper and use if you would like.
I am going to speak to our repair dept. and make sure they know the repair policies to make sure this would not happen again.
so not only were they super nice, i get to keep the crappy looking (but fully functional) diaper! kudos thirsties!

Onkyo blazes into headphones with HF300 and FC300 on-ear and in-ear models
Onkyo has forged its way into a new product category with the launch of a range of headphones at CES 2013 in Las Vegas.
Well known for its high-quality home theatre and hi-fi components, Onkyo is looking to take a slice of the mobile music pie with the launch of two models of on-ear headphones and two models of in-ear headphones.
The HS-HF300 come with an audiophile-grade 6N oxygen-free copper cable encased in clear elastomer, with gold-plated connectors. Onkyo is promising almost perfect conductivity and low touch noise.
The HS-FC300, on the other hand, come with a flattened tangle-free elastomer cable. The cable on both models is detachable and replaceable, so if you break it, or want to upgrade it, you're free to do so.
The headphones themselves offer a folding design and are closed back, with 40mm titanium drivers. Ported bass sub-chambers are said to offer a "muscular bottom-end response" and we'd expect them to be great performers, given Onkyo's heritage.
The aluminium driver housing is shaped to resemble the volume knob on Onyko's hi-fi kit, in a simple but eye-catching design. The HS-FC300 will come in three colours: black, white and purple. The black model comes with a red cable for that, ahem, Beats look.
The ES-HF300 will be priced at $179, and the ES-FC300 at $149. They will be available in Q1 2013 - no word in UK pricing or availability as yet.
But that's not all. Onkyo also plans to launch in-ear headphones. The IE-HF300 and IE-FC300 again offer the choice of an audiophile cable or tangle-free alternative, and feature a 14.3mm dynamic transducer.
You'll be able to get your hands on those for $129 and $99 respectively, again due in early-2013.
In addition, Onkyo is developing an equaliser app that will work in partnership with your Onkyo headphone, so you'll be able to have full control over the audio output of your device.
UPDATE: The Onkyo ES-HF300 will cost £179 and the HC300 will be £149 and will be available in March. The in-ear models will be £129 and £99 respectively, arriving in April.
