Here at Lion Brand, it's a well known fact that I read many newspapers and magazines, from business to knitting and crochet to fashion. I like to tear out articles, ads, and photos that inspire me or catch my eye, so I can share them with our associates.
Recently, I was flipping through the Wall Street Journal Magazine, when I came across an article entitled "A Gripping Yarn." It was accompanied by a photo collage of all kinds of knitting, crochet, and yarn-inspired pieces seen at the Milan Furniture Fair, a major trade show in the interior design industry. The article described how yarn and crafting are coming into their own in the design community:
Following a resurgence among fashion designers and artists, homespun, cozy techniques such as crochet, macramé and knitting have found favor with international furnishing designers from Rotterdam to London to Toronto. "Craft is the word of the decade," says Murray Moss, founder of the design gallery Moss in New York. "It went from having the most pejorative meaning to being embraced."
Having grown up surrounded by yarn–our family business–and having seen the world of hand-knitting and crochet evolve over the last several decades, it is especially gratifying to me to see that designers everywhere–and even the Wall Street Journal–are taking notice of the wonderful world yarncrafts.
I hope you'll click here to read the full article and check out the photographs of just some of the items–from chairs to lamps–inspired by yarn.

We're thrilled that the 2010 World Maker Faire is taking place in our hometown of New York City on September 25th and 26th. To celebrate, we're collaborating with fiber artist Robyn Love to yarn bomb a rocket at the New York Hall of Science! The installation–called Send a Message to the Universe–will consistent of 12″ x 12″ knitted and/or crocheted squares (featuring messages to the universe stitched into the fabric) that will be attached to one of the rockets. After Maker Faire, the squares will be made into blankets for the Warm Up America! Foundation.
Want to participate? If you're in the New York City area and would like to help make some squares, please join us on Monday, September 20th and Tuesday, September 21st from 6-8 pm, at 34 West 15th Street, 7th Floor, between 5th and 6th Avenues. We'll provide the hooks, needles, and Hometown USA yarn that you'll need to contribute to this unique collaborative work of art. We want you to personalize each square, so be as creative as you want with your color and stitch pattern! Please note that we will have to limit the amount of people due to fire capacity, so the events will be first come, first served. If we do reach capacity, we'll make sure to give you yarn and tools so that you can still work on squares. If you can't make it to our knitting/crocheting nights, you can still participate. Download this PDF for more information on how you can help.

This is a guest post from Andrea, a sales associate and teacher at the Lion Brand Yarn Studio, our retail store in New York City.
I learned to crochet when I was four years old, and learned how to knit the following year, taught by my great-aunt. What came from her besides knowledge was an invaluable passion for crafting. Throughout middle school and high school, I had explored other areas of fiber-crafting, ultimately resulting in a minor obsession with embroidery. However, that skill was put aside to purse other things once I left home, and I let it slip from my memory. Working at the Lion Brand Yarn Studio has re-ignited that passion in me once again that has always been there lying dormant; not just for knitting and crochet, but for all things involving fiber and my hands.
At the Studio, we are always working on something for our elaborate and diverse window displays. When I was handed an inner tube for our recent Coney Island window that needed some lettering on it, I was amazed at how my hands were once again threading a darning needle and making a chain stitch! I had thought my embroidery skills were long forgotten, but what I discovered was that my hands and muscles never did.
Embroidery interests me mostly because of the minimal material requirement (all you need is a needle and colored thread or yarn!), and the range of designs you can create from very simple to the elaborate. I started with simple wall hanging kits I had inherited from my great-aunt, which have the pattern already drawn out for you in different colors;this was a great way to learn how the stitches can flow together and combine. After my mother had a sufficient collection of fruit and vegetable samplers, I began making my own designs. Designing an embellishment in embroidery is much easier than trying to write out your own color-work chart, or doing a whole lot of math to write your own sweater pattern from scratch. In fact, it is the easiest way to add some color to your work without a lot of commitment. If you don't like it, you can just take it out! (The same applies for a mistake!!)
One of my favorite stitches, the duplicate stitch, looks exactly like the knit stitch, so you can use it to replicate an intarsia or Fair Isle pattern on your finished piece if you're interested in trying some color-work, but aren't quite ready to take on multiple bobbins or strands of yarn.
If you want to learn more about the duplicate stitch, you can find complete instructions plus step-by-step images in the Learning Center on the Lion Brand website (click the highlighted text to view it).
Embroidery is great for putting eyes on those cute Amigurumi, too. You can use a satin stitch to really build up a larger eye, or a simple French knot which really stands out from the fabric nicely. I also use French knots for a lot of other things, like the centers of the daisy stitch which is really adorable on baby items.
If you are interested in trying out some basic embroidery stitches and are in the New York City area, I am giving a class on these stitches and more on September 17th at the Studio. If you aren't in the New York area, check out www.needlenthread.com for some videos and tutorials for hand embroidery.
And here are some great free patterns from Lion Brand, using embroidery embellishments, that you can tailor to your liking:

I recently had the fun experience of seeing one of my finished objects on a clothing website. I made a Rose Red hat in LB Collection Superwash Merino as a gift for my sister, a fashion designer. I was thrilled that she thought it was nice enough for a model wear in a photo shoot.
It's always exciting when other people appreciate your craftsmanship. We love seeing your projects in our Customer Gallery and at shows. We've also heard about projects winning prizes at local fairs. Has your project ever been spotted on a blog or in a magazine? Have you ever won a ribbon for your crafting? Share in the comments below!

Less than two weeks after opening for U2 at the Bell Centre, the Arcade Fire was nominated for two Grammy awards yesterday.
The Montreal band is up against a who's who of indie-rock acts - Beck, the White Stripes, Death Cab for Cutie and Franz Ferdinand - for best alternative album. The group's song Cold Wind, a contribution to the soundtrack for HBO's Six Feet Under, was also nominated as best song written for TV, film or other media.
"It's surreal," said drummer Jeremy Gara, reached at his parents' home in Aylmer, Ont. Gara found out about the nominations yesterday in an email from Death Cab for Cutie's Ben Gibbard.
"It was the first thing I saw this morning," he said.
"I was like, 'Why is Ben emailing me?' and he was like, 'Congratulations, see you at the Grammys.'"
Hobnobbing with big names has become the norm for the Arcade Fire. They have performed shows with David Bowie and David Byrne this year, and they even shared a U.S. Thanksgiving dinner with U2 when the Irish band was in town last month.
The Arcade Fire's full-length debut, Funeral, has been on a wild ride since it was released in September 2004 on independent U.S. label Merge. The album has sold more than 220,000 copies in the United States and more than 70,000 copies in Canada.
But their influence goes beyond sales figures. The band has been name-dropped non-stop, with Byrne, Bowie, Bono, Beck and Bjork joining a chorus of major music publications throwing effusive praise their way.
Keeping a level head has been a priority for the members of the group. The recent dates with U2 marked the band's final performances for Funeral. The group is taking a break to begin working on a new album, to be released next year.
In an interview a few weeks ago, singer Win Butler said he was happy to be back home with wife and musical collaborator Regine Chassagne. Montreal feeds their creative spirit, he explained: "(Our) collaborative relationship comes out of having a real life. We build our life around playing music, taking time, not thinking about the end product - to f--k around, and get excited about stuff, and make sketches. That's really hard to do on the road; all you can do is have flashes of ideas. It almost takes a month of being home before you get into the mode where you can actually create."
The band has purchased a church in the Eastern Townships, and they are converting it into a recording studio where they plan to spend the winter making music.
"We're pretty much just getting the studio in order," Butler said. "There's a lot of construction happening. We'll be doing some preliminary recordings in ... early December, just to demo some stuff. We're trying to get (the studio) ready for that. It's kind of a push."
The band has since run up against unexpected delays with the conversion project. The Grammy nominations, while welcome, were not enough to distract them from their task at hand.
"It's totally awesome," Gara said of the news. "But we're super-busy with this studio thing and we just can't stop working on it, because we're already a month behind.
"We'll celebrate later. We'll probably go down (to L.A. for the Grammys) in February and that'll be fun, but until then we've just got to focus."
The nominations put the cap on an incredible year for the Arcade Fire. The Grammy competition is fierce, but the band has accomplished so many amazing things that taking home one or even two trophies is hardly inconceivable.
One thing is certain - Montreal music fans will be on the edge of their seats Feb. 8, when the awards are broadcast live from L.A.'s Staples Centre.

So, I have been thinking about who could see there stock rise and fall between now and end of 2010 season.
Based of the current big board, which can be found here ,
The obvious choices for Fallers are as;
- 4-3 DE/ 3-4 OLB Robert Quinn of North Carolina- In our mock draft we had him slotted 10th, but ranked 5th overall on the big board. So the question is, because of NCAA inverstiagation, will Quinn fall. I personally think it is a very likely possibility.
current position: 5th Overall
- 3-4 DE/ 4-3 DT Marvin Austin of North Carolina- Another Tar Heel that looks like his stock will plumit come draft time. Even though he has the ability to play in a 3-4 or 4-3 defense, his troubles with the NCAA and possibility of not playing in 2010 could hamper any thoughts of a top 10 pick come april.
current position: 8th Overall
- WR A.J. Green of Georgia- Once again, being investigated by the NCAA, is he really gonna fall. Well I don't think so, his talent is too good to pass up. He has all the tools to be a great WR at the next level, and if St. Louis is there at the top then my projection is AJ to STL in 2011.
current position: 3rd Overall
- 3-4 DE/ 4-3 DT Marcell Dareus of Alabama- Another player being investigated. And suspended for the 1st 2 games of the 2010 season. So will he see his stock drop, I don't think so. He is a freakish athlete, and has the tools to be a 3-4 DE or 4-3 DT, so I still see him as a top 10 pick.
current position: 7th Overall
- C Mike Pouncey of Florida- After thinking about him, I originally thought top 20 pick, but know I'm not so sure. He struggled in the opener against Miami(Ohio). And with bad snaps after bad snaps, is he truly a top notch Center, well thats a debate that will continue for weeks and months leading to the 2011 draft.
current position: 20th Overall
- S Deunta Williams of North Carolina- Now why Deunta, and he is ranked 24th, well, he is being investigated by NCAA and UNC. So that is against him. But if he does indeed be suspended, he will likely move down the draft boards fast. Which is sad for our 3rd rated Safety.
current position: 24th Overall
Dishonorable Mention: South Carolina TE Weslye Saunders(44th Overall), Ohio State 3-4 DE/ 4-3 DT Cameron Heyward(18th), Clemson S DeAndre McDaniel(23rd) and Alabama RB Mark Ingram(10th)
Now our Risers;
- CB Patrick Peterson of LSU- Had a terrific game against UNC, great return man and good cornerback. currently ranked 27th, and will in my opinion be a top 15 pick and maybe the 1st corner taken in 2011.
current position: 27th Overall
- CB Prince Amukamara of Nebraska- Our top rated Corner. Now why would he rise as the 13th overall prospect? Well cause of the potential falls of top prospects above him, and his freakish abilities. Thats why I think he becomes a top 10 to maybe top 5 pick in 2011.
current position: 13th Overall
- 4-3 DE/ 3-4 OLB Greg Romeus of Pittsburgh- Freak, and a great pass rusher. He is a force, and should rise from the draft boards and be a top 15-20 pick.
current position: 25th Overall
- 3-4 DE/ 4-3 DT Allen Bailey of Miami(Fla.)- Another great talent, has a great motor, and good pass rusher. Can be a DE or DT, and will rise the boards and be a sure fire 1st rd pick in my opinion.
current position: 28th Overall
- WR Michael Floyd of Notre Dame- After showing a good game home against Purdue. He should become a 1st round pick. And maybe challenge Julio Jones and Jonathan Baldwin for 2nd WR taken.
current position: 33rd Overall
- 4-3 DT Stephan Paea of Oregon State- Clearly I have understimated his talent, looks like a sure fire 1st-round pick, and a top 25 at that. Has a great nack for getting to the QB.
current position: 38th Overall
- CB Janoris Jenkins of Florida- Unlike Pouncey, this Florida prospect had a good game against Miami(Ohio), with a 70-yard INT for TD. And at 45th overall, should rise the boards and be a 1st rd pick.
current position: 45th Overall
Honorable Mention: LSU ILB Kelvin Sheppard(50th Overall), Florida S's Will Hill(47th) and Ahmad Black(48th) and Michigan State ILB Greg Jones(49th)

How we cite our quotes: (Essay.Paragraph)
Quote #10
I delight to come to my bearings, -- not walk in procession with pomp and parade, in a conspicuous place, but to walk even with the Builder of the universe, if I may, -- not to live in this restless, nervous, bustling, trivial Nineteenth Century, but stand or sit thoughtfully while it goes by. (Conclusion.15)
"Restless, nervous, bustling, trivial Nineteenth Century": that's how Thoreau views America's rapid industrialization – harsh.

So the building management where I work thinks we have plenty of bike parking space because they count each inverted U as giving 2 parking spots, one on each side of the inverted U. By U style I mean these:
I have told management that it is very difficult to put two bikes on both sides of the inverted U. For example, I've seen parts of bikes flop over and smack others in weird spots. If you put the front part of the bike in the same direction, the handlebars get in the way of each other. If you have a U-style lock, there just might not be enough space to lock it with another bike on the other side. Ideally, the inverted U is much easier with just one bike attached to it.
Is there something I am missing on the inverted U parking racks that would help it park 2 bikes? I had a few thoughts:
Maybe if they were spaced far enough apart, you could park one bike each perpindicular to the U rather than parallel to the loop as most people do? However if the next U is too close then the tires on your bike would overlap with the tires on the next bike.
Perhaps if you faced the bikes in opposite directions (that is one bike facing forward, bike on other side facing rearward) of the inverted U, but parallel to the U, it would be easier to fit two bikes to a single inverted U?
Or are you only supposed to use one of those longer coil locks?
Any thoughts would be appreciated. Especially any photos of how to do this would be appreciated.

Inspired by Bioshock, my favorite video game of all time. I love that underwater deco world and wanted to make a poster that would fit in with it.
Great design.

I would like to retrieve the URL of my calendar (ics).
When I click 'Share' in my calendar menu, the button 'Publish calendar to internet' is grayed out.
I am an admin.
What should I do?
Thanks for the feedback.
Hi Michael,
I feel your pain. I really needed this feature so I got it working and blogged about it at http://bit.ly/mbUYIY. I broke it down step by step for non-techies. Hope this helps.
Hi Eef,
From my experience, this feature has not been turned on. And I guess maybe the PowerShell could solve this problem. The command Add-MailboxFolderPermission could alter the permission of calendar, which could not be done through OWA.
This link is for the description of this command.
This link is a simple example for the usage of this command.
I'm not sure whether this command works on exchange online, however, it may be helpful to you.
Check out Exchange 2010 SP1 and Exchange Online (Office 365) Calendaring FAQ and read through it. The section you will be most interested in is labeled "How does setting up Internet Calendar Publishing differ for Online vs. on-premises."
Eef- To enable Internet Calendar Publishing you will need to complete the following steps.
1) Establish a Remote Powershell connection to your Exchange Online Tenant
2) Once connected run the following cmdlet
Set-SharingPolicy -Identity "Default Sharing Policy" -Domains "Anonymous:CalendarSharingFreeBusyReviewer"
After this is complete, your users should now be able to publish their Exchange Calendars.
I do this, i start Powershell
$cred= Get-Credential
$o365= New-PsSession -ConfigurationName Microsoft.Exchange -ConnectionUri ps.outlook.com/powershell -Credential $cred -AllowRedirection -Authentication Basic
and then i have this error message
Die Benennung "Set-SharingPolicy" wurde nicht als Name eines Cmdlet, einer Funktion, einer Skriptdatei oder eines ausführbaren Programms erkannt. Überprüfen Sie die Schreibweise des Namens, oder ob der Pfad korrekt ist (sofern enthalten), und wiederholen Sie den Vorgang.
Bei Zeile:1 Zeichen:18
+ Set-SharingPolicy <<<< -Identity "Default Sharing Policy" -Domains "Anonymous:CalendarSharingFreeBusyReviewer"
+ CategoryInfo : ObjectNotFound: (Set-SharingPolicy:String) [], CommandNotFoundException
+ FullyQualifiedErrorId : CommandNotFoundException
I don't know what i do wrong.
Hi Scarface, this error is caused because your local copy of PowerShell does not have the neccessary Exchange cmdlets. You need to download them using the steps outlined in this blog (www.mikepfeiffer.net/.../comment-page-1). Make sure you read the article and also comments following the article as there are some possible extra steps you might need to do.
Way to complicated for me since I am the business owner, lead consultant, accountant, and the person who answers the phone. I thought Office 365 was going to make it easier. Come on Microsoft step up your game. As a business owner I already have to many roles to play, I am not interested in playing the owner of IT Admin. Features like this should be straightforward and easy!

Eyes speak a universal language, and no

Where words are restrained, the eyes often talk a great deal.

Life Breath of Half the World

India's monsoon rains have covered the entire country a month ahead of schedule,
brightening the prospects for a
bumper output of summer-sown crops such as rice, oilseeds and
cotton in one of the world's leading producers.
During the year I spent following the monsoon in a dozen countries, I learned to see it as a critically important event,
and not the disaster it had first seemed to my Western eyes.
Farmers experience the monsoon as an almost religious experience
as they watch their fields come backto life after being parched for half the year.
For months there is no rain, and then there is too much.
Half the world's people survive at the whim of the monsoon.
Rain is grace;
Rain is the sky descending to the earth …

Stolen Childhoods
09 Jun 2013 Leave a comment
For the past three decades as I traveled the world on assignment I
have witnessed children working in fields, factories, ditches, tunnels,
mines, and ship-breaking yards.
The scope of the problem is vast.
Hundreds of millions of children spend their
childhood working and do not have an opportunity to
play, go to school, or live in a healthy environment.
Child labor and poverty are inevitably bound together,
and if you continue to use the labor of children as the treatment for the social disease of poverty,
you will have both poverty and child labor to the end of time.

Lines Written a Few Miles Above Tintern Abbey
Portraits often seem pregnant with speech, or as if their subjects have just finished saying something,
or will soon speak the thoughts that inform their faces, the thoughts we're invited to read.
Landscapes are full of presences, visible or unseen; soon nymphs or a stag or a
band of hikers will make themselves heard.
But no word will ever be spoken here, among the flowers and snails,
the solid and dependable apples,
this heap of rumpled books,
this pewter plate on which a few opened oysters lie, giving up their silver.
These are resolutely still, immutable, poised for a forward movement that will never occur.

Redshirt senior Edgardo Goas
April 7, 2012
UNIVERSITY PARK, Pa. - The seventh-ranked Penn State men's volleyball team (20-3, 13-0 EIVA) clinched their 28th EIVA title with a come-from-behind 3-2 (20-25, 21-25, 25-13, 25-21, 15-10) victory Saturday afternoon. Penn State will be the No. 1 seed in the EIVA Tournament and host the semifinals and finals on April 26 and 28 at Rec Hall.
Redshirt senior Joe Sunder (Greensburg, Pa.) was the Mike Anderson Penn State Player of the Game after tallying 17 kills .481 hitting with a team-best 11 digs. Redshirt freshman Nick Goodell (Ambridge, Pa.) led the Lions with 22 kills, while junior Nick Turko (Lewisberry, Pa.) posted 10. Redshirt senior Edgardo Goas (San Juan, Puerto Rico) paced Penn State with 59 assists, while Turko recorded three aces. Redshirt freshman libero Connor Curry (Newport Beach, Calif.) and sophomore Peter Russell (Ellicott City, Md.) tied for second on the team with nine digs apiece. Freshman Aaron Russell (Ellicott City, Md.) led the Nittany Lions in blocking with three.
The Nittany Lions registered a .319 hitting percentage, while posting 67 kills, seven aces, 44 digs and 5.0 total team blocks. Harvard hit .221 against Penn State and totaled 45 kills, three aces, 41 digs and 7.5 team blocks.
The first set started out close, but Penn State grabbed a 6-3 lead after three straight Harvard errors. Despite two kills from Harvard's Nick Madden, three Penn State kills and a Turko stuff had the Nittany Lions leading by five, 10-5. After a Harvard timeout, the Crimson embarked on a 7-3 run to close the gap to one, 13-12, and force the Nittany Lions to take a timeout of their own. Harvard followed with a 4-0 run to take a 16-13 lead and send Penn State back to the bench. The Nittany Lions fought to within one, 17-16, but was unable to take control. Harvard used a 6-1 run to reach set point, 24-18. A Goodell kill and a Crimson error prolonged the set momentarily until a PSU service error ended the set in Harvard's favor, 25-20.
Neither team was able to take control early in the second frame until midway through when a 4-1 run by Harvard had the Crimson leading, 14-11. After a Penn State timeout, the Nittany Lions continued to trail by at least two points until a 3-0 run had the Lions within one, 21-20. Harvard called a timeout and slowed the Nittany Lions enough to allow them just one final point. The Crimson closed out the set with a 4-0 run for a 25-21 win.
The Nittany Lions jumped out to a 7-3 lead in the third frame. The Crimson managed to stay within four, 10-6, but a Turko kill and a Harvard error moved Penn State ahead by six, 12-6. A PSU error and a Harvard ace pushed the Crimson back within four, 13-9. However, Penn State used an 8-2 run, which included a yellow card issued to a Harvard player, to take a commanding 21-11 lead. The run came to an end on a service error by the Nittany Lions, but three consecutive Harvard errors had Penn State at set point, 24-12. The Crimson grabbed final point off a PSU service error before an attack error by Harvard gave Penn State a convincing 25-13 third set victory.
Penn State took a 4-1 lead to begin the fourth stanza. Two kills from Harvard's Matt Jones moved the Crimson within two, 5-3, but a Goodell kill and joint block by Turko and Sunder had Penn State ahead by four, 7-3. Harvard closed the gap to three, 12-9, but soon after a 4-1 Nittany Lion run had Penn State with a six-point advantage, 17-11. Three straight points by Harvard had the Crimson back within three, 17-14. Penn State called a timeout and continued to lead, although Harvard closed the gap to two, 22-20. Matt Jones tallied Harvard's final point before a Sunder putdown and a Crimson error gave Penn State a 25-21 win.
The Nittany Lions took a 3-1 lead, but the Crimson tied it up at 4-4 with a 3-0 run. Penn State answered with a 3-0 run of its own for a 7-4 lead to force a Harvard timeout. Turko pounded a kill to make it 8-5and send the teams to the opposite side of the net. The Crimson came within two twice with two Goodell kills moving Penn State back ahead by three, 10-7. After a furious rally Goodell spiked a huge kill to give the Lions an 11-7 lead. Harvard called a timeout and capitalized on a PSU error and a Madden kill to move within two, 11-9. The Nittany Lions used a timeout and closed out the set on a 4-1 run for a 15-10 win.
The Nittany Lions travel to BYU for back-to-back matches on April 13-14. Both matches are scheduled for 9 p.m. ET. Penn State celebrates Senior Night on April 21 at 7 p.m. vs. Saint Francis.

1. Field of the Invention
This invention relates to a storage receptacle for use on a personal transportation device for a handicapped person such as, for example, a wheelchair or scooter, for storing personal items and the like for the convenience of a wheelchair or scooter-bound person. The invention specifically relates to a storage bag for use on a transportation device which is drivable under power from a stowed position behind the transportation device backrest to an accessible position alongside the transportation device.
2. Prior Art
The prior art contains a number of examples of receptacles for use by wheelchair-bound persons. Known receptacles for use by wheelchair occupants include bags, bins, boxes, trays and other forms, either mounted in a stationary manner on the wheelchair or arranged to be moved manually from one position to another. The receptacle can be, for example, a tray or basket to hold tools or files, which is moved in front of the wheelchair occupant for use, and stowed alongside the wheelchair or under the seat when not in use. Alternatively, the receptacle can include a bin or bag for general purpose storage, which is moved into its more accessible position for access, and then is stowed out of the way.
The receptacle can be mounted simply, for example via cloth loops which hang the receptacle from the handgrips at the top of the seat back. Alternatively, a movable support mechanism can be provided whereby the receptacle is guided and supported along a predetermined path between the accessible and stowed positions. A structure for guiding and supporting the receptacle relieves the user of certain physical requirements but nevertheless requires that the receptacle be grasped and pulled or pushed between its two (or more) accessible and stowed positions.
Although some wheelchair or scooter occupants have relatively complete arm and upper body function, many other wheelchair or scooter-bound persons are handicapped in a manner which makes it difficult or impossible to grasp and to move a storage receptacle manually between its more and less accessible positions. If the occupant is unable to reposition the storage device manually, the assistance of another person is required. Reliance on another person for the simple act of accessing one's personal items in a storage bag or the like is not only inconvenient for the wheelchair or scooter occupant and for the person relied upon, but contributes to feelings of dependence which can be psychologically harmful to the occupant as well as frustrating to the assistant.
Storage bags, boxes and other receptacles which are permanently affixed in usefully accessible positions are not fully satisfactory. Normally a bag or the like behind the seat back are too inaccessible to be of genuine use to the occupant. Accessible positions on a wheelchair or scooter therefore include positions alongside the wheelchair or scooter and in front of the wheelchair or scooter. Storage devices permanently mounted along the side of the wheelchair or scooter typically increase the width of the chair and can limit the occupant's access to the respective drive wheel. Limiting the occupant's ability to grasp and move the drive wheel impedes the occupant's freedom to move forward or backward and to steer and move about generally, particularly in confined spaces. Storage devices mounted wholly or partly at the front of the wheelchair or scooter likewise impede the occupant's freedom to enter and exit the wheelchair or scooter.
U.S. Pat. No. 4,580,803-Davis discloses a front basket, box or tray, which is movable between an access position in front of a wheelchair, and a stowed position alongside the wheelchair. The access position is comparable to that of the front basket of a bicycle. The wheelchair basket, tray or the like is mounted on horizontal tubes extending forward, substantially collinearly with the armrests of the wheelchair. One of the tubes is slidably retractable to engage at one of the armrests. The basket is rotatable manually around the tube at the other armrest whereby the basket can be lifted up and over the axis defined by the tube for stowage, to reside alongside the wheelchair at a level below the armrest. Of course the wheelchair occupant normally is required to lift the basket over the armrest and to lower it on the outside of the armrest.
U.S. Pat. No. 4,795,182-Dyess et al discloses a wheelchair with a similar front basket. In this case the basket is pivotally attached about a vertical axis at a forward corner of the wheelchair. Substantially less effort is required to move the basket clear of the wheelchair seat as compared to the above patent to Davis. However, in the stowed position the basket protrudes substantially beyond the armrest such that it is impractical to move the wheelchair about with the basket in any position other than over the occupant's lap.
U.S. Pat. No. 4,919,443-Kehler discloses a swing-out storage box for a wheelchair. The box is pivotally attached about a vertical axis at a lateral side of the seatback, i.e., at a rear corner of the wheelchair. In the stowed position the box is directly behind the wheelchair occupant. The box is manually movable around an axis at the side of the seatback from the rear stored position to an access position substantially over one of the armrests of the wheelchair.
Additional devices for storing personal items which are attachable to a wheelchair are known, for example as sold under the trademark ABLEWEAR™ by MADDACK, Inc , Pequannock, N.J. 07440-1993. The 1987 ABLEWEAR catalog discloses bags and pouches attachable to the back of a wheelchair seat, trays engageable to the armrests in front, and movable bins for magazines and the like, pivotable around the front vertical frame member. Other specific item holders are also included, such as holders for canes, books, cameras, mirrors, flashlights, etc. For the most part these items are rigidly clamped to a frame member of the chair, and include movable linkage mechanisms whereby the receptacle for the item can be position manually by the occupant, alone or with the help of an assistant.
The "HAVE-A-TRAY®" item, as illustrated on page 13 of the ABLEWEAR 1987 catalog and the subject of U.S. Pat. No. 4,289,156, provides a plastic compartment for storing and transporting personal items. The tray is swingable manually between positions forward or alongside the wheelchair. The tray cannot be placed in a completely unobtrusive position without completely removing it from the wheelchair frame.
Although these and other known devices include various storage bags and bins attachable to a wheelchair, in each case the occupant of the wheelchair is expected to manipulate portions of the devices manually in order to effect their function. In certain instances, such as those devices requiring the occupant to lift a relatively large basket over a pivot axis, the occupant may be unable to effectively manipulate the device. In those instances where minimal exertion is required to move a device between its respective stowed and accessible positions, the device obstructs some useful or functional aspect of the wheelchair when stowed, or when mounted so as to be unobstructive when stowed, is also substantially out of the range of the occupant's convenient grasp. There is a need for a mounting for a wheelchair or scooter storage bag, bin or similar device which is operable to move the device under motive power from an inaccessible position where no useful function of the wheelchair or scooter is impeded, e.g., a position fully behind the seat of the wheelchair or scooter, to a position alongside the wheelchair where it may be accessed conveniently by the wheelchair or scooter occupant.
It is a general object of the invention to provide a receptacle which is attachable to a personal transportation device such as a wheelchair or scooter for practical use by the wheelchair or scooter occupant in storing and accessing personal articles.
It is an object of the invention to provide an actuator for a storage bag attachment for a wheelchair or scooter, which is operable to pivot the storage bag from an out of the way, unobtrusive position, to a conveniently accessible position.
These and other objects are accomplished by a storage bag arrangement which is attachable to a personal transportation device for a handicapped person such as a wheelchair or scooter and arranged to pivot a storage receptacle from a stored position against the back of a personal transportation device backrest, to an accessible position adjacent a personal transportation device armrest. An L-shaped movable bar carries the bag or similar receptacle on a horizontal leg, and is pivotable on a hinge means clamped to a vertical member of the personal transportation device, i.e., wheelchair or scooter defining a vertical rotation axis. The pivoting is accomplished under electric motor power via a motor having a housing clamped, for example to a lower portion of the vertical frame member of the wheelchair or scooter. An armature of the motor is coupled to the vertical leg of the L-shaped bar supporting the storage bag on its horizontal leg. The motor is preferably reversible for powering the bag back into its stored position from its accessible position adjacent a wheelchair or scooter armrest, but also can be arranged to wind a spring in one direction and to release the bag for spring return. In the event of a spring, latch means are preferably provided to retain the bag in the accessible position when power is decoupled from the motor. Switch means, for example located on a wheelchair or scooter arm rest, control coupling of power to the driving motor, the power being provided by an on-board auxiliary battery mounted on the wheelchair frame. Alternately, if the wheelchair or scooter is electrically powered by a storage battery, generator or the like, power for the driving motor can be derived therefrom.
The movable storage bag is preferably a pouch-type soft bag having an open top, or a simple flap or zipper closure, button, VELCRO or similar closure for selectively accessing the interior of the bag.
The L-shaped pivoting bar is carried on a vertically oriented hinge attachable to the personal transportation device frame via a clamp or the like. The bar sections can be disposed at substantially a 90° angle relative to one another. The bag section of the bar is fixed at or near the top of the storage bag, preferably with the motor clamp and the hinge defining spaced mounting points along the frame member to which the device is mounted, e.g., a substantially vertical frame member along the seatback. Where the seatback frame member is not vertical, the clamps can be spaced from the motor axis and the hinge axis by different distances in order to arrange the rotation axis substantially at vertical. In this manner, the bag is pivotable from a position against the back of the seat of the personal transportation device to a position alongside the transportation device.
The bag or similar receptacle is mounted at sufficient height to clear any obstructions encountered between the stowed position and the access position as the device is rotated. One major obstruction is the drive wheel of the wheelchair or scooter. The bag or the like can have a radial cut-away at its lower edge adjacent the hinge axis of sufficient dimensions to enable the bag to pass over and around the drive wheel of the wheelchair or scooter without obstruction.
A number of variations and further embodiments are also possible and several examples are discussed in connection with particular embodiments as shown in the drawings and the following detailed description.
FIG. 1 is a perspective view of the movable bag attachable to a wheelchair of the invention.
FIG. 2 is a perspective view of the bag attached to the wheelchair frame and positioned in its stored position ag inst the back of the wheelchair seat.
FIG. 3 is a top view of the bag attached to a wheelchair showing the radius of movement of the bag from its stored position to its accessible position.
FIG. 4 is a perspective view of a return spring mounted on the shaft of the bag support.
FIG. 5. is a perspective view of an alternate embodiment of the invention.
FIG. 6 is an elevation view of a clamp/baseplate used on the alternate embodiment.
FIG. 7 is an elevation view of the alternate embodiment having a storage bag attached.
FIG. 8 is an end view of the storage bag.
FIG. 9 is a perspective view of an alternate embodiment of the invention mounted on a wheelchair.
FIG. 10 is a perspective view as shown in FIG. 9 showing the slide extension capabilities.
In FIG. 1, wheelchair or scooter bag 10 is attached to the horizontal leg 13 of L-shaped support bar 11 by loops 12. Bag 10 can be open at its top as shown, or if desirable the bag 10 can be selectively closable, for instance, by buttons, snaps, VECRO or a zipper. L-shaped support bar 11 has bag leg 13 and an attachment leg or shaft 14, preferably integral with one another or rigidly attached.
The support bar 11 is pivotally mounted via its attachment leg 14 to the frame of the wheelchair or scooter. Clamp 15 is rigidly attachable to a wheelchair or scooter frame member and pivotally carries attachment shaft 14 in clamp bearing 16. Clamp bearing 16 retains shaft 14 relative to the frame member engaged by clamp 15, supporting shaft 14 while allowing rotation of attachment shaft 14 around the axis of the clamp bearing.
Shaft 14 is also couple at its lower end to the motor shaft 19 of motor 18. The housing of motor 18 is rigidly fixed to the wheelchair frame via motor clamps 17. Motor shaft 19 can terminate in a non-round engagement fitting which fits a corresponding receptacle coupled to the shaft 14 of L-shaped support bar 11, for instance, a square, hexagonal, or octagonal fitting which allows the motor shaft 19 to engage shaft 14 for driving rotation. In this manner also, support bar 11 is removable from motor 18 as necessary for repair, replacement or the like. Alternately, motor shaft 19 can be fixed permanently to attachment shaft 14, for example by welding.
Bag assembly 9 is shown mounted to wheelchair 22 in FIG. 2. Clamp 15 and motor clamp 17 are attachable to chair back support post 23. The chair back support post 23 may not be precisely vertical, which would tend to urge the bag 10 to rotate to its lowest elevation in the plane of tilt of post 23. This can provide a gravity return for the bag 10 if the post 23 is tilted laterally inwardly, however typically the post 23 tilts to the rear. The distance between the respective hinge clamp 15 or motor Clamp 17 and the corresponding axis of the hinge 16 or motor shaft 19 can be different, so as to maintain a vertical orientation of the support shaft 14 of L-shaped bar 11. Alternatively, or in addition, if a gravity return is desired, the clamps and the respective axes can be arranged such that the axis of rotation of bar 11 tilts toward the stowed position of bag 10.
Motor 18 receives electrical energy from auxiliary battery 24. Auxiliary battery 24 is preferably removable and rechargeable, and may be arranged to power additional accessories associated with the wheelchair. If wheelchair 22 has a primary electrical power system, the primary system can drive motor 19 and the auxiliary battery 24 may be eliminated. Motor 18 is coupled to the power source (e.g., battery 24) through switch means 21. The switch means preferably includes a manual actuation mechanism such as a toggle or pushbutton mounted in a readily accessible position, such as on or under an armrest of wheelchair 22. Switch 21 is advantageously located on wheelchair 22 opposite the arm adjacent bag 10 when deployed. In this manner, operation of switch 21 will not be encumbered by bag 10 or bag shaft 13 when moved to the access position. Switch 21 is electrically connected to motor 18 through wire 20, which is routed around the back and/or under the seat portion of the wheelchair.
As illustrated in FIG. 3, actuation of switch 21 energizes motor 18 to rotate bag 10 around the axis defined by bearing 16 and motor shaft 19, from behind the seat back of wheelchair 22 to a position alongside the arm rest of wheelchair 22. The cut-away section of bag 10 at the corner adjacent the hinging axis enables bag 10 to pass over obstructions such as the rear wheel of wheelchair 22 along its circular path of deployment. In the embodiment shown, bag 10 is movable around an arc of about 270° from the stowed position adjacent the wheelchair seat back to the access position adjacent the wheelchair arm rest.
The motor 18 can be provided with a sufficiently high braking torque to hold motor shaft 19 in position at the access position, thereby holding bag 10 in place. Alternatively, a latch mechanism (not shown) can engage the bag or the bag shaft to hold the bag in the access position when required. The storage position as of bag 10 is indicated in FIG. 3 by letter A, and the accessible position is indicated by letter C.
Motor 18 can be reversible to move bag 10 positively between position C and position A in either direction. When using a reversible motor 18 switch 21 can be, for instance, a three position switch having a position to couple power for clockwise rotation of motor shaft 19, a reversing position to couple power at the opposite polarity for counterclockwise rotation of motor shaft 19, and an off or decoupled position.
If motor 18 is unidirectional, for instance, to drive bag 10 from position A to position C only, means are needed for returning bag 10 to position A. As discussed above, a return mechanism can be provided by arranging a tilt in the rotation axis whereby the storage position defines the lowest elevation of the bag 10 and support bar 13. Another example of a return means is shown in FIG. 4. Coil spring 26 encircles the bottom of attachment shaft 14 and is engaged at its opposite ends to shaft 14 and to a base member fixed relative to the wheelchair frame, preferably under spring tension biasing rotation of attachment shaft 14 towards position A in FIG. 3. The wheelchair occupant can switch motor 18 on to drive wheelchair bag 10 from position A to position C, thereby winding the spring more tightly. The bag 10 may then be accessed by the wheelchair occupant and held in position by a latch or via the force of motor 18 until deenergized. After retrieving an article from bag 10 or placing an article into bag 10 the occupant simply releases grasp of bag 10, whereupon coil spring 26 returns bag 10 to storage position A shown in FIG. 3.
A preferred embodiment of the device is depicted in FIG. 5. Attachment plate 32 has horizontal leg 33 and vertical leg 34. Upper support bracket 35 is affixed on an upper portion of vertical leg 34. Lower support bracket 36 is affixed at a lower portion of support bracket 32 and opposes uppe support bracket 35. Motor 37 is attached to vertical leg 34 between upper support bracket 35 and lower support bracket 36. Drive shaft 38 of motor 37 is non-rotatively coupled to driven section 39 of support frame 31. Journalled section 40 of support frame 31 is rotatively coupled to lower support bracket 36. Horizontal leg 33 is attached to clamp 41, which in turn clamps on post 23 for attachment of movable storage device 42 to a personal transportation device for a handicapped person.
It is well known that post 23 for a back rest of a personal transportation device is generally disposed at an angle other than vertical. Usually, post 23 tilts slightly backward away from a wheelchair or scooter occupant. Since movable storage device 42 is affixed to post 23, it is preferable to provide a cantable connection for movable storage device 42 to post 23. The cantable connection is provided by slotted screw hole 43 on attachment plate 32 as shown clearly in FIG. 6. By loosening a screw through slotted screw hole 43, attachment plate 32 can be pivoted about a screw in pivot screw hole 44 with respect to clamp 41 to maintain horizontal leg 33 in a position parallel to the ground regardless of the angle of post 23. Once horizontal leg 33 is suitably positioned, the screw can be tightened in slotted screw hole 43 to secure attachment plate 32 in position.
FIGS. 7 and 8 show movable storage device 42 with bag 45 in place. Bag 45 can be a dual compartment bag having compartments 46 and 47 connected by draping strip 48. Draping strip 48 is placed over bag section 50 of support frame 3I whereby compartments 46 and 47 hang downward from support frame 31. It is preferable to include a fastener, such as strap 49 as shown in FIG. 7, for holding bag 45 in place on bag section 50.
In another embodiment, slide mechanism 51, such as the type used in filing cabinets and drawers, is mounted on bag section 50 of support frame 31. Slide mechansim 51 allows the wheelchair or scooter occupant to slide bag 45 to a more forward position alongside the wheelchair to, for example, allow an occupant easier access to bag 45.
While specific embodiments of the invention have been described in detail, it will be appreciated that those skilled in the art will now be aware of various modifications and alternatives to the foregoing preferred embodiments in light of the overall teachings of this disclosure. For example, bag 10 is shown attached to bag shaft 13 using loops 12. It is within the scope of the invention to attach bag 10 using different means such as riveting or otherwise more directly attaching bag 10 to bag shaft 13 etc. Furthermore, the coil spring shown for returning bag is from its accessible position (C) to its storage position (A) is one example of various possible spring and gravity return arrangements. Different springs, spring locations and return means may be substituted for those shown. Accordingly, the particular arrangements disclosed are meant to be illustrative only and not limiting as to the scope of the invention which is to be given the full breadth of the appended claims and any and all equivalent thereof.

When I scanned my computer system with the AVG scan antivirus software I got the alert message that W32.Braid.A@mm is detected on my computer system. I have deleted this W32.Braid.A@mm from my computer system but it comes back again and again. I just need know the exact method for deleting this W32.Braid.A@mm from my computer system.

Fig. 1. The transient shaper (shown here) and exciter are greatly improved in Alloy 2.
THE ALLOY 2 channel-strip plug-in incorporates
an 8-band paragraphic equalizer, harmonic
exciter, transient shaper, de-esser, limiter,
two dynamics processors, comprehensive
metering, and spectrum analyzer into one GUI.
Clicking on a processor's associated tab opens
its GUI for editing.
New and Improved Alloy 2's transient
shaper is much improved; I got an
excellent kick drum sound in multiband mode.
Boosting the high-frequency (2–20kHz) band's
attack control enhanced the beater's slap, while
increasing its bass band's sustain (below 120Hz)
made the shell ring with booming reverberation.
Lowering the middle band's (120–2,000Hz)
sustain control attenuated snare drum bleed;
conversely, boosting that band's sustain control
provided a more "live" drum sound.
Activating one of Alloy 2's two dynamics
modules downstream from the shaper, I dialed
in a 30:1 ratio with peak detection, 0.01ms
attack time and a hard knee. Adjusting the
module's sidechain filter (new to Alloy 2) to
weed out bass frequencies conditioned the
compressor to react only to the beater slap.
That de-emphasized the kick's attack, while
makeup gain made the shell thunder even
more. Lowering the module's mix control
restored the beater's punchy thwack, but the
shell still sounded easily twice as big. Huge!
Alloy 2's improved multiband exciter
transformed a polite electric bass track into a
churlish, burping bad boy by letting me vary
the relative amounts of added harmonics
emulating tube, tape and "retro" (transistor)
circuits. (A "warm" mode—producing only
even harmonics—is also available.) I liked
adding bass-band retro excitation for a tight
bottom, tape-style harmonics between 200
and 950Hz to broaden the mids, and tube-style
distortion in the highest band to soften the
top end; being able to solo each band made
editing easier. Reducing the wet/dry mix control blended in some of the original signal,
preserving the track's focus.
Activating Alloy 2's limiter module—
downstream from the exciter—smoothed the
bass track's level fluctuations and made it
sound fuller. I could also unlink the limiter's
two channels on a stereo track for drum-room
mics, which Alloy 1 wouldn't allow, to preserve
the soundstage's width.
Going Solo Alloy 2's versatile equalizer lets you
solo a frequency band, which was really handy
when hunting down harsh resonance in a female
vocal track; useful keyboard shortcuts speed
this process considerably. You can also solo a
frequency band in Alloy's outstanding multiband
de-esser module to home in on offending
vocal sibilance, and drag a band's low and high
crossover-frequency handles to narrow the
bandwidth to cover only the sibilant frequencies.
Chaining Alloy 2's two dynamics processors
in parallel on the lead vocal track allowed
creating a blend of two different sounds. One
compressor was set to soft knee, 3.5:1 ratio, RMS
detection, high threshold and moderate attack
and release times to enhance density. The other
compressor was set to create audible pumping:
hard knee, 20:1 ratio, peak detection, low
threshold, and very fast attack and release times.
Combining the two processors gave the "stormy"
character I wanted without defenestrating the
vocal's fidelity and dynamic range.
Only the Beginning There's a lot more
to Alloy 2; it's not just a channel strip—it's
a channel universe, filled with processors
to color your world. You won't need NASA's
budget, however, to climb onboard. At only
$199 MSRP, Alloy 2 is a steal.
