The present invention relates to a spa device. In particular, the present invention relates to a spa apparatus for use in activities related to a foot massage.
It is generally known to provide for a spa device, such as health spas, whirlpools, jet stream exercisers, foot spas, etc. Such known spa devices are typically used in commercial and recreational settings for hydrotherapy, massage, stimulation, pedicure, and bathing purposes. However, such spa devices have several disadvantages including being difficult to thoroughly clean, requiring complicated maintenance schedules, and often providing harsh and uncomfortable massages.
Water quality can become a problem in systems that use circulating water that comes into contact with the human body where the spa is not thoroughly cleaned. Several actions have been taken in an attempt to overcome this difficulty, including the addition of chemicals (e.g., bleach) into the water to help control bacteria growth. Despite such efforts, however, water quality is sometimes still difficult to maintain. For example, bacteria can develop simple defense mechanisms to counter chemical attacks such as forming a protective outer coating that acts as a barrier against harsh chemical treatments. The destruction of the outer coating is generally difficult with chemicals alone. Often times, chemicals are only effective in destroying the outer coating when used for extended periods of time, sometimes hours. Therefore, the preferred method of eliminating bacteria from systems is through mechanical means such as abrasion (e.g., removal with a rag and a chemical cleanser that has anti-bacterial capabilities).
Furthermore, many spa devices have intricate and elaborate systems of pipes that move water from a pump, through a filtering system, and ultimately to one or more nozzles (e.g., openings) that deliver water back to a basin for re-circulation. In the case of a pedicure basin, the process of cleaning after each pedicure involves draining the water from the system, spraying the basin with some type of anti-bacterial cleanser, circulating the water for a period of time, rinsing and then refilling with fresh water. Because there are pipes and fittings, it is often difficult to mechanically scrub every component that comes into contact with water. In addition, after a system is drained, some water may remain within the piping system, usually in cracks and crevices or low spots in the pumping system. For example, the pump itself is usually a sealed unit that may be difficult to completely drain. It is within these areas that the bacteria tend to grow the outer coating as a defensive mechanism against attack from anti-bacterial chemicals, especially when the pedicure system is not used for extended periods (e.g., overnight, weekends, etc.). Consequently, water quality may be diminished in conventional piped systems that are not effectively cleaned.
Another problem with known spa devices is that they often provide a harsh massaging effect to the feet by pointing a small number of nozzles (e.g., openings) toward the top of the feet. These nozzles are generally connected via pipes and hoses to a single centrifugal pump that produces a very high pressure (20-40 psi) and a relatively low volume of water. Customers often complain that the jets of water produced in this manner are too rough, in some cases even producing pain or discomfort. Although the jets can be partially closed to reduce the force of the water stream, this also reduces the water volume. Consequently, the massage effect is minimized since the jets are often a considerable distance away from the feet (e.g., in the walls of the basin).
An example of an existing system is disclosed in U.S. Pat. No. 2,312,524 issued to William B. Cox. Specifically, Cox discloses a foot bathing device that utilizes foot rests consisting of a disk of heavy wire screening or a perforated plate (see col. 1, lines 43-44). This type of system can have several disadvantages including producing unrestricted streams of water. For example, Cox discloses the use of a flat foot rest containing a uniform pattern of openings across the entire foot rest that is not capable of directing the water in any particular direction (e.g., a foot rest that includes a uniform grid pattern across the entire foot rest).
Accordingly, it would be advantageous to provide a spa apparatus that substantially avoids the problems of bacterial growth by eliminating the need for pipes and/or pumps. Further, it would be advantageous to provide a spa apparatus with a removable foot rest plate for easy access to clean the basin and exposed components. It would also be advantageous to provide a spa apparatus that produces an improved massage of the foot by directing a flow of water at a much lower pressure while still maintaining a higher volume of water to specific areas of the foot. In addition, it would be advantageous to provide a spa apparatus that substantially eliminates the water fountain effect (e.g., excess splashing) sometimes found in other pedicure systems.
Typically, the basin of a spa is positioned close to the floor to minimize the distance that a user must raise the user's feet in order to place them in the basin. This then requires the technician working on the user's feet to bend over in order to reach the user's feet. If the basin is located in a position higher from the ground to enable greater comfort for the technician, then the user must raise the user's feet a greater distance to clear the top of the basin. It would therefore be desirable to provide a basin that both allows easy entrance and exit of a user's feet as well as allow the basin to be raised to benefit the technician, as well as to provide an aesthetically and functional spa.
A typical spa includes a chair that is in a fixed position relative to the basin. This requires that the customer climb into the chair avoiding the basin, and further requires that the customer adjust herself in the chair to comfortably place her feet in the basin. For the elderly or frail it may be difficult to enter and exit the chair. Additionally, for those who are shorter or taller then the average user, the position of the chair may not be comfortable or conveniently positioned. It would therefore be desirable to provide a chair that permitted easy entry and exit into the chair. It would also be desirable to provide a chair that could be moved relative to the basin for the comfort of the customer.
When a technician works on a user's foot, the foot must be elevated out of the basin, the customer's foot is typically held by the technician on his or her lap or set upon a support that is a separate structure located outside of the basin, that either must be moved over the basin area, or the user must swing the user's foot out of the basin area onto the support. This position may not be comfortable for either the customer or the technician. It would be desirable to provide a support that is easy to use by the technician and customer that does not require a separate structure to be moved in and out of the basin area.
Typically the shape of a basin is substantially round. This shape makes it difficult for the technician to come close to the basin while facing the customer. The technician is forced to sit side ways with the technician's legs both offset to one side of the basin. It would be desirable to provide a basin having a shape that would allow a technician to easily straddle the basin with one leg on either side of the basin.
Additionally, typical pedicure spas require a separate manicure table to be moved toward or away from the chair in order for a technician to work on the customer's finger nails. It would be desirable to provide a manicure assembly system that could be easily stored within a portion of the chair and easily deployed when required.
It would further be desirable to provide for a spa apparatus having one or more of these or other advantageous features discussed above either alone or in any combination.
A feature of the present invention is to provide a spa apparatus that overcomes the above-noted disadvantages.
Another feature of the present invention is to provide a spa apparatus that does not require circulation pipes or pumps, thereby reducing the bacteria problem within the apparatus.
Another feature of the present invention is to provide a spa apparatus with a removable foot rest plate that allows for easy access to clean the spa components exposed to water.
Another feature of the present invention is to provide a spa apparatus that does not require tools to install and/or remove the foot plate and/or screen.
Another feature of the present invention is to provide a spa apparatus that minimizes the water fountain effect.
Another feature of the present invention is to provide a spa apparatus that includes a safety mechanism that stops the impeller from rotating when the screen or foot rest plate is removed.
A still further feature is to provide a spa apparatus with a removable foot rest plate that sealingly engages the bottom of a basin or the inner periphery of the basin and console to form a high pressure zone between the foot rest plate and the bottom of the basin.
Another feature is to provide a basin that is separate from the base of a spa apparatus.
Another feature still, is to provide a basin that may be moved up and down.
In still another feature a foot support is located within the basin and movable from an in-use position to a stored position.
Another feature is to provide a chair in a spa apparatus that may be tilted forward and rearward to permit easy entry and exit from the chair.
Another feature is to provide a chair that may be moved closer to or further from the basin.
Another feature is to provide a chair in a spa apparatus that swivels to allow easy entry and exit from the chair.
Another feature is to provide a chair that houses a flip up manicure assembly.

The present invention further relates to various features and combinations of features shown and described in the disclosed embodiments. Other ways in which the objects and features of the disclosed embodiments are accomplished will be described in the following specification or will become apparent to those skilled in the art after they have read this specification.
Before describing a number of preferred, exemplary, and alternative embodiments of the invention in detail, it is to be understood that the invention is not limited to the details of construction and the arrangement of the components set forth in the following description or illustrated in the drawings. The invention is capable of other embodiments or being practiced or carried out in various ways. It is also to be understood that the phraseology and terminology employed herein is for the purpose of description and should not be regarded as limiting.
Before proceeding to the detailed description of the preferred and exemplary embodiments, several comments can be made about the general applicability and the scope thereof.
First, while the components of the disclosed embodiments will be illustrated as a spa apparatus designed for feet or foot spas, the features of the disclosed embodiments have a much wider applicability. For example, the spa design is adaptable for other spa devices including spas for hands, other body parts, entire bodies, etc. Further, the size of the various components and the size of the apparatus can be widely varied.
Second, the particular materials used to construct the exemplary embodiments are also illustrative. For example, the basin of the spa apparatus may be made from a scratch resistant material such as borosilicate or other suitable material. Further, components of the spa apparatus can be manufactured from thermoplastic resins such as injection molded high density polyethylene, polypropylene, other polyethylenes, acrylonitrile butadiene styrene ("ABS"), polyurethane, nylon, any of a variety of homopolymer plastics, copolymer plastics, plastics with special additives, filled plastics, etc. Also, other molding operations may be used to form these components, such as blow molding, rotational molding, etc. In addition, various components of the spa apparatus can be manufactured from stamped alloy materials such as steel or aluminum.
Proceeding now to descriptions of the preferred and exemplary embodiments,
Spa apparatus 10 includes a basin 12 configured to retain fluid (e.g., water) for use with various cleaning and/or massage activities. Spa apparatus 10 also includes a foot rest plate 14 positioned within the basin, an impeller 16 coupled to basin 12, and a motor 18 located external to the basin for rotating impeller 16 so that fluid is directed through foot rest plate 14.
Foot rest plate 14 is preferably positioned in the lower portion 20 of basin 12. According to an exemplary embodiment, foot rest plate 14 is removably coupled to basin 12 below the fluid surface, and in the preferred embodiment rests on the floor of basin 12. Foot rest plate 14 forms a seal with the floor or bottom surface 27 of basin 12 to restrict the flow of fluid around foot rest plate 14. Referring to
In the particular embodiment illustrated, foot rest plate 14 includes a first nozzle system 30 and a second nozzle system 32. Nozzle system 30 is positioned on foot rest plate 14 to direct a stream of fluid in a non-vertical direction. Nozzle system 30 includes at least a first opening 31 configured to direct fluid in a non-vertical direction. More specifically, opening 31 is configured to direct a stream of fluid at the front of the foot, including the toes. Nozzle system 32 is positioned on foot rest plate 14 to direct a stream of fluid in a non-vertical direction. Nozzle system 32 includes at least a second opening 33 configured to direct fluid in a non-vertical direction. More specifically, opening 33 is configured to direct a stream of fluid at the back of the foot, including the heel. As used in this application, the vertical direction is a generally upward direction parallel to the vertical plane. Further, the vertical plane is perpendicular to the horizontal plane or the plane of resting fluid within the basin.
Foot rest plate 14 is configured so that users are able to move their feet to adjust the location of nozzle systems 30 and 32 relative to their feet. In effect, this allows users to control how the water exiting nozzle systems 30 and 32 makes contact with their feet. As shown in
Further, openings 31 and 33 are arranged in a non-uniform pattern on foot rest plate 14. As used in this application, the term "uniform" means consistent throughout an entire area. For example, screens and grids are often characterized by uniform perforations or openings over the entire surface of the screen or grid. Each opening or perforation is generally uniform in shape and distribution throughout the object. Since foot rest plate 14 has a non-uniform pattern of openings, plate 14 includes at least one area without any perforation or openings. In other words, foot rest plate 14 does not have an even and continuous distribution of openings across its entire surface.
Foot rest plate 14 serves several purposes. For example, foot rest plate 14 provides support for the foot at a desired angle for comfort. In addition, foot rest plate 14 protects the foot from contact with the rotating impeller housed beneath it. Further, foot rest plate 14 confines, constricts, and directs the flow of water from impeller 16 to nozzle systems 30 and 32 formed in the foot rest plate. Furthermore, foot rest plate 14 also serves to divide basin 12 into a high pressure zone 36 and a low pressure zone 38. The high pressure zone 36 is located between basin 12 and the bottom of foot rest plate 14 whereas low pressure zone 38 is located above the top of foot rest plate 14. Consequently, the cavity formed between basin 12 and foot rest plate 14 (e.g., high pressure zone 36) takes the place of, and in effect replaces the pipes in a conventional pipe system.
A screen 40 is configured to be positioned over the opening of inlet or intake 61 of foot rest plate 14 and is coupled to console 26 and/or foot rest plate 14. Referring to
In one embodiment foot spa apparatus 10 may include an air line 44 coupled to screen 40 to control the outflow of air mixed in the fluid streams through nozzle systems 30 and 32. According to an exemplary embodiment, air line 44 may comprise a hose or standpipe. According to alternative embodiments, air line 44 may comprise other devices (e.g., cylinders, pipettes, pipes, lines, inlets, channels, etc.). Air line 44 is generally positioned to bring air to the low pressure side 46 of impeller 16 and to mix air into the fluid stream. In addition, air line 44 may include a valve 48 to regulate the amount of air in the fluid stream. In the particular embodiment illustrated, valve 48 is controlled by an air line switch 50 located on a handset 52. Alternatively, valve 48 may be controlled by other electronic or mechanical devices (e.g., button, knob, etc.). Moreover, in alternative embodiments, air line 44 and/or valve 48 may be omitted.
According to an exemplary embodiment, spa apparatus 10 includes a motor 18. Motor 18 may be enclosed in a motor housing 54 and coupled to belt 56 so that when motor 18 operates, belt 56 rotates in a cyclical manner. Belt 56 may also be coupled to a shaft 58 which is supported by bearings 60 and secured within a shaft housing 55. Shaft 58 is further coupled to impeller 16 so that the cyclical rotation of belt 56 also rotates impeller 16. Consequently, the rotation of impeller 16 causes the fluid to be drawn in through screen 40 and out through nozzle systems 30 and 32.
Referring to
A duct seal 64 coupled to basin 12 and shaft housing 55 also keeps the fluid in basin 12 from escaping out of the apparatus. Spa apparatus 10 may also include a drain 66 for releasing at least some of the fluid from basin 12. Drain 66 is located on the lower portion 20 of basin 12.
A sensor switch 68 is located within apparatus 10 senses when foot rest plate 14 is in position. In addition, sensor switch 68 senses when screen 40 is in position. Upon sensing that either screen 40 or foot rest plate 14 are out of position, sensor switch 68 shuts off power to motor 18 to prevent the operation of motor 18. Sensor switch 68, therefore, acts as a safety mechanism to reduce the risk of accidental injury caused by the operation of impeller 16.
Referring to
Radius 76 enables a user to position their toes within the stream of water exiting opening 31 according to the user's desired configuration. For example, depending on the position of a user's foot, the stream of water may flow against the toes, over the foot, under the foot, around the foot, etc. The location and angle of the foot determines how the stream of water flows relative to the foot. Radius 76 extends from radiused surface 70 to create toe region 80. According to a preferred embodiment, heel region 78 is positioned lower than toe region 80 so that a user may angle their foot upward from heel to toes.
The operation of spa apparatus 10 will now be described. According to a preferred embodiment, foot rest plate 14 is positioned within basin 12 prior to use such that neoprene sealing ring 29 comes into contact with the floor 27 of basin 12. As a result zone 36 is formed between the underside 82 of foot rest plate 14, the lower ridges 21, and the floor 27 of basin 12. Fluid is placed in basin 12 up to a desired level above the upper surface 84 of foot rest 14. Prior to operation of motor 18, water will fill zone 36 by entering through openings 31 and 33 and through intake 61. Operation of motor 18 causes impeller 16 to rotate and consequently draw fluid from basin 12 through screen 40 and inlet 61 through circular duct 62 and into zone 36. The rotation of impeller 16 creates a low pressure zone 38 above foot rest plate 14 and a high pressure zone 36 below foot rest plate 14. This difference in pressure causes the fluid to move from basin 12 down through circular duct 62 and eventually out through openings 31 and 33. Further, the shape and angles of foot rest plate 14 guide the exiting fluid from opening 31 against, under, over, and around the front of a user's foot positioned within spa apparatus 10. Similarly, the shape and angles of foot rest plate 14 guide the exiting fluid from opening 33 against the back of the heel and around the foot.
In one embodiment, the pressure differential between the high pressure zone 36 and low pressure zone 38 is approximately two psi. Of course the pressure differential may be greater than or less than two psi and may be adjusted. However, pressure substantially above two psi results in a flow that is turbulent and may also result in an uncomfortable effect on a user's feet. In one embodiment, water is circulated at 60 gpm with approximately 4.3 gpm through each of openings 31, 33. Of course other pressure differentials and flow rates may be selected by increasing the speed of the impeller or the size and/or number of openings 31, 33.
As described above in a preferred embodiment, water exits opening 31 at an angle of about 8 degrees with respect to the horizontal plane. This angle allows the water to be directed over the top of a user's foot if the user's foot is moved back toward opening 33 at the heel region. By moving one's foot away from the heel region and toward nozzle system 31, the water from opening 31 may be directed under the toes or heel of one's foot. This allows the user to determine where the water exiting the opening 31 should be directed. The recessed location of opening 31 due to the curvature and/or shape of foot rest plate 14 makes it difficult for a user to block the openings thereby disrupting the balance of the water flow. Additionally it is believed that being too close to the opening does not produce a pleasant affect. The location of opening 31 and the shape of foot rest plate 14 help ensure that a user's foot will not entirely come into contact with the openings during operation of the system. Water exits opening 33 an angle of about 15 degrees relative to the horizontal plane. Referring to

During cleaning of spa apparatus 10, foot rest plate 14 may be easily and conveniently removed from basin 12 without the use of tools. Referring to

As discussed above, foot plate 14 can be sealed to basin 12 along the bottom of foot plate 14 with an o-ring 29 or about the inner periphery of basin 12. Referring to
The level of water in basin 132 extends between three and six inches above outer periphery 136 of foot plate 130, however the level of water could be less than three inches or greater than six inches. Accordingly, a lower portion of console 134 is submerged in the water. The lower portion of console 134 is hermetically sealed so that no water is able to enter within an interior region of console 134. The location of console 134 within basin 132 allows for easy access to the console by an operator or technician. Console 134 is secured to the basin floor by fasteners 154. Additional openings in basin floor allow plumbing and electrical connections to extend into the console. Console 134 includes a pair of foot supports 162; a spray nozzle 158; and controls 160 for raising and lowering the basin, moving the seat in a fore/aft direction; and an automatic cleaning cycle.
When a technician works on a user's foot, the foot must be elevated out of the basin. The user's foot is typically held by the technician on his or her lap. This position may not be comfortable for either the user or the technician. Referring to

Lower support 190 is supported by a plurality of spaced feet 204 that may be adjustable to provide proper alignment of frame 182. A plurality of casters 206 are also provided to allow for easy movement and installation of spa 180. An extension 208 is provided on one of the ends of the frame to permit a jack having an upwardly extending handle to be removeably coupled to extension 208 to permit an installer to easily move spa 180. The jack may include at least one wheel to aide in the movement of the spa. Lower support 190 may include a front and a rear cross member 210, and 212 as well as a cross member 214 to provide structural stability and support for other components. Similarly, upper support 192 includes a front and rear cross member 216, 218 as well as intermediate cross members 220, 222. Actuator 198 is secured to cross members 214, 222 of lower and upper supports 190, 192 respectively. Referring to

Since chair 183 and basin 132 are both connected to upper support 192, the relative position of chair 183 and basin 132 remain constant. This constant relation allows the user to have a fixed position of the user's feet in basin 132. If basin 132 is moved independent of chair 183, then the user would have to reposition oneself in order to have his or her feet remain in the same position relative to basin 132. Since chair 183 also moves, the angle of the seat will change. Additionally, as upper support 192 is pivoted relative to the lower support 190 so that basin 132 is raised to allow a technician to work on the user's feet, the user is moved to a more reclined position in chair 183 adding to the comfort of the user.
Referring to
Chair 183 is secured to cross member 220. Cross member 220 moves within a pair of rails 232 and is powered in a fore/aft direction by a motor 234. In a preferred embodiment chair 183 is able to move from a position proximate the rear 196 of frame 182 toward front end of frame 182. In one embodiment the chair 183 moves twelve inches from a rear most position to a fore most position. Of course other lengths of travel are also contemplated. Chair 183 also includes a pivot actuator 236 that allows chair 183 to be tilted both in a forwardly and rearwardly direction about pivot 238. A neutral position is illustrated in

Our Mongolia Overland trips score an average of 3.5 out of 5 based on 2 reviews in the last year.
Mongolia Overland , May 2015
Rob Durham
Book directly with Dragoman - Intrepid takes a commission for providing incredibly misleading information. Unacceptable level of service, particularly with regards to money for a young traveller on a budget.
Review submitted 22 Jun 2015
Mongolia Overland , May 2015
Clarissa Wong (nee Gunawan)
Mongolia is an absolutely amazing country, quite untouched by tourism and therefore wilderness and culture is in abundance. However, the 18-tonne Dragoman overlanding truck is not suitable for Mongolian terrain and should not be used to explore this country.

Lapsang Souchong Natural TeaLSO
Product Details
Lapsang Souchong Natural Tea is a black tea, farmed without pesticides, cured in pine wood smoke. Powerful smoky aroma and taste, yet smooth and pleasant. A favorite among men who've never liked "regular" tea. Not quite as smoky as our Lapsang Souchong Superior, but still pretty surprising if you've never tried it before. Use one heaping teaspoon per cup and steep 3-5 minutes in freshly boiled water.

For those who are comparing themselves to others, and thinking they wished their lives looked more like someone else's, they need to remind themselves of what people left unsaid.

Dogwood Girl
I'm Annie; I'm a mom, wife, daughter, sister. I was born and raised in Atlanta, Georgia, attended the University of Georgia, and became a Technical Writer. I write fiction on the side, including lots of unread, unfinished, and unpublished short stories. I enjoy writing, but haven't gotten around to feeling comfortable with others reading my work yet. Dogwood Girl is part of my working on that fear. I run, but not very fast. It doesn't matter, as running is more of a means to keep my spirits high and those around me alive and well - Without endorphins, i would be on the National News. I have trouble following through on things. I like to grow things. I like puzzles and games. I like to challenge myself, and my problem with challenges is usually my follow through. I am ultra-competitive and will wager small amounts on just about anything. I love to win, but i am no sore loser. I have days where i think i am an awesome mom, and days where i think I am completely fucking my children up. Likewise, i have days where i feel motivated and successful, a modern day Superwoman, and other days, where I feel about as motivated as the Brad Pitt character in True Romance. My husband is my best friend and I would be a basket case without him; My kids have taught me more about myself (and about patience) in five years than I have learned in the whole rest of my life. They are my pride and joy, my heart, and often a royal pain in my ass. I would die without them and their father. I also have a slightly unnatural attachment to my dog, the Q-Man. I write about all of it here on Dogwood Girl. It's cheaper than a therapist.
Tastes like summer.

She has been in the retail business for five years, selling miscellaneous items. She started out with her own funds, approximately $100, which her husband gave her. She sells sugar, Omo, rice, Fanta, etc. She has a booth at the central market of Virunga.
With this loan, she will increase her sales by purchasing 10 bags of rice, 5 bags of Omo, Fanta, etc. Her biggest challenge is that she occasionally sells on credit, and some customers delay payment, or do not pay at all.
She wants to buy a plot of land and build on it, for her children.

Additional Information

HEKIMA aims to contribute to the transformation of the economic, social, and spiritual lives of the economically active poor of the DRC.

This is a Group Loan
In a group loan, each member of the group receives an individual loan but is part of a larger group of individuals. The group is there to provide support to the members and to provide a system of peer pressure, but groups may or may not be formally bound by a group guarantee. In cases where there is a group guarantee, members of the group are responsible for paying back the loans of their fellow group members in the case of delinquency or default.
Kiva's Field Partners typically feature one borrower from a group. The loan description, sector, and other attributes for a group loan profile are determined by the featured borrower's loan. The other members of the group are not required to use their loans for the same purpose.

Issued at 328 AM EDT Thu May 19 2016 High pressure will essentially be parked over the Great Lakes region from today right through the weekend. Expect plenty of sunshine and gradually warming temperatures. Highs the next several days will be around 70, warming well into the 70s on Sunday and Monday. The next chance for rain does not come until the middle of next week. && .SHORT TERM...(Today through Saturday) Issued at 328 AM EDT Thu May 19 2016 Concerns are low in the short term with dry weather forecast throughout. High temperatures should nudge up each day from around 70 today into the lower 70s for Friday and Saturday. We should see a bit of cumulus development again today, but nothing more than few/scattered. Some RH progs show broken cumulus potential on Friday. Also, there looks to be a bit of mid cloud across the south as a 500mb shortwave pushes our direction from the west. Thinking partly to mostly sunny for Friday. Some mid cloud is possible again on Saturday. Forecast is optimistic overall cloud wise, but we will be watching the mid cloud potential with the shortwave moving through Fri/Sat. .LONG TERM...(Saturday night through Wednesday) Issued at 328 AM EDT Thu May 19 2016 The warm and dry weather will continue for the last half of the weekend and Monday as the ridge will remain anchored over the Great Lakes. The ridge begins to break down and move east early next week and moisture starts to flow into the Upper Midwest. We`ll probably see some showers/storms west of the CWA across the Mississippi Valley Monday night as weak short waves eject from the southwest US. We decreased pops from guidance Monday night as moisture may take some time moving east toward the Great Lakes. Latest GFS even has Tuesday dry as much of the energy remains concentrated in the southern Plains. It`s the developing low in western Kansas that is progd to be the catalyst for pcpn potential mid week across Lower Michigan as it eventually moves east. As a result, thunderstorm potential should increase as we head toward mid week. && .AVIATION...(For the 12Z TAFS through 12Z Friday morning) Issued at 746 AM EDT Thu May 19 2016 VFR conditions is forecast the next 24 hours and likely well beyond as high pressure is in firm control of the areas weather. Some scattered cumulus development is possible today otherwise skies will be mainly clear through Friday morning. Light and variable winds are expected outside of a lake breeze this afternoon pushing through KMKG and towards KGRR. Behind the lake breeze expect winds of 5 to 10 knots from the west. && .MARINE... Issued at 328 AM EDT Thu May 19 2016 Limited wind the next several days due to high pressure will keep Lake Michigan on the calm side. Winds are expected to be less than 10 knots into Saturday with an afternoon lake breeze expected each day. Waves will be 2 feet or less through Saturday. && .HYDROLOGY... Issued at 1103 AM EDT Thu May 19 2016 Precipitation forecasts have not changed much with the bulk of moisture remaining south of Lower Michigan. Rivers are falling rather steadily with Maple Rapids being the only site that will remain above advisory criteria. This advisory should be able to be dropped sometime tomorrow. We have to go beyond the next 5 days to find any decent chances for rain. Unfortunately, precipitation may return by the middle of next week and stretch into Memorial Day weekend. && .GRR Watches/Warnings/Advisories... MI...None.

For example, here I asked a question, with a specific restriction ("without using the DateTime module"), to which I am bound. I got the answer that helped me, after which I decided that this restriction is relevant only to specific environment in which I am working, and the question will be useful for much more people without this restriction. So, I edited the question, and specified the reason for the edit in the comment. This made one of the already given answers wrong. Is my behavior OK, or should I've asked another question instead?
Meta Stack Exchange is where users like you discuss bugs, features, and support issues that affect the software powering all 157 Stack Exchange communities.
What is meta?
What is meta?
Here's how it works:
- Any Stack Exchange user can ask a question
- The community provides support, votes on ideas, and reports bugs
- Your voice helps shape the way Stack Exchange operates
Is it OK (and right) to change the question to a more general one (which makes it more useful, but also makes some of the already given answers incorrect)?
I would have asked a separate question. If you can catch it before anyone answers I would say that it's okay to change it. But if your changes cause someone's answer to be wrong (and potentially get downvotes for it) then I'd leave that question alone and just ask a new one. You can always link the two questions together as "Related".
If you're going to edit it like that, rather than ask another question, make it clear that you did it. You changed the question, and only mentioned the change in a comment.
Something like: "What's the best way to do foo? (Note: I originally asked for a way without bar, and some of the answers reflect that.)"
Right now, you're making somebody look bad, and possibly costing him or her rep.

Communication / Professionalism (CP) Activity
Clinically active diplomates must complete and attest to two CP activities, one in years one through five of their certification, and one in years six through ten. During the requirement phase-in period (2010 through 2017), the requirement may be fewer. Diplomates' can view their individual requirements and attest to completion by signing in to their ABEM MOC Personal Page.
Diplomates may use any formal method of assessing communication skills including patient surveys, interviews, or focus groups, administered at the institutional, departmental, or individual level. Some patient feedback methods that may meet ABEM requirements include Press-Ganey, CAHPS/HCAHPS, and MAPPS. However, not all hospitals use a patient experience of care survey. ABEM has developed a survey that is an adaptation of the CAHPS Clinician and Group Survey and Reporting Kit 2008. Diplomates who do not have access to an existing survey may use it to fulfill their ABEM MOC APP Communication / Professionalism requirement.
At least ten of the diplomate's patients must be included. A minimum of one physician behavior must be measured from each of the following three categories:
Requirements for Verification Diplomates are required to specify an independent verifier of each CP activity. The verifier must be someone with oversight or knowledge of practice performance and would likely be one of the following:
Five percent (5%) of activities will be randomly selected for verification. Verifiers will be asked to affirm that all of ABEM's requirements have been met.

Birth Name: Carlos Mencia
Born Oct. 22, 1967 in San Pedro Sula, Honduras, Ned Arnel Mencia was the 17th of 18 children born to his Honduran father, Roberto Holness, and his Mexican mother, Magdelana Mencia. As a boy, he was raised in East Los Angeles by his Aunt Consuelo and Uncle Pablo Mencia, where he went by the name Ned Holness in honor of his father. By his own admission, avoiding the street violence of East L.A. was difficult when he was growing up, but with the help of his family, he excelled in school and stayed away from the gang scene. He majored in electrical engineering at Cal State University Los Angeles, but left early to pursue a career in comedy after a successful performance during an open mic night ...

An Arlington man could go without paying rent for a year if he's named roommate of the year.
A nationwide video competition has made Jessie McLaughlin one of the top 11 finalists. He has just a few days to become number one.
He and his roommate and girlfriend Lisa Harbin produced and entered a video into the roommate of the year competition sponsored by apartments.com.
In the clip, he shows himself doing all the things a good roomie does, like like unloading the dishes, cooking dessert, cleaning up, taking out the trash.
He even helps Harbin locate a missing shoe before going out. "I lose things all the time. My purse, my phone, my wallet, everything is a disaster," Harbin says.
Both insist McLaughlin would still be a great roommate even if they weren't a couple. "He's very considerate," Harbin says.
They are convinced that the sports-inspired play-by-play style of the video put them into the top because it's different from the typical entry.
"A lot of them were rap videos and laundry lists of, we're gonna do this thing, and wash your dog, do the dishes, take your girlfriend out to crappy chick flicks," they say.
The winner of the competition will receive a year's free rent and $10,000. One grand prize winner and four runners-up will be determined by a combination of public votes and a separate judging panel.
If he wins, McLaughlin hopes to wear his new title proudly, making more clever videos to help others be good roomies.
"If you're going to be the roommate of the year, might as well share some tips," he says.
McLaughlin has until Sunday, July 31st, to gather votes for his video online.

Connecting History-Social Science and Literature with Pages of the Past
Schell, Emily M., Social Studies Review
Good history-social science teachers are always on the lookout for helpful resources - rich resources that add life and depth to their course content. While guest speakers, artifacts, websites, videos and field trips are great finds, often times teachers realize that they don't have to look any further than their classroom or school library!
With the help of such characters as Zomo Alexander (of the Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Day), the Berenstein Bears, Brer Rabbit, Mufaro, Johnny Appleseed and the Time Warp Trio, issues and content from the History-Social Science Standards can be effectively introduced and taught. Through literature and biographies, historical figures, from George Washington to George W. Bush and Queen Hatshepsut to Amelia Earhart, are presented in a more meaningful context than found in the average textbook. Such authors as Eve Bunting, Lynne Cherry, Robert de San Souci, Kathleen Krull, Mary Pope Osborne, Kate Waters, Jean Fritz and Patricia Polaco have revolutionized children's literature with their attention to historical figures and events. Creative retellings, historical fiction, and poetry by these authors provide refreshing opportunities to teach literacy skills with History-Social Science content.
What these authors (and good teachers) know is that history truly is a story well told. And most students love a good story. Researcher Barbara Tuchman recommends to teachers, "Tell stories. The pull, the appeal is irresistible, because history is about two of the greatest of all mysteries - time and human nature." Beyond time and human nature, the themes or concepts that leap from the pages of a good story are often align with the themes and concepts that emerge from our standards. Many children's stories are perfect vehicles for teaching economic concepts, issues of diversity, cultural values, geographic concepts, and perspectives. The key is finding the right books with the right themes to use with the right lessons.
Frequently, teachers and administrators ask for a literature guide to help them identify, purchase and use appropriate literature to enhance their history-social science programs. With increased time and attention paid to literacy in schools throughout the state, there exists a need to integrate literature and literacy skills with history-social science content and thinking and analysis skills. Formerly, the best resource for this was the state department's 1991 publication Literature for History-Social Science, Kindergarten through Grade Eight. However, the majority of the books listed in that publication are no longer available and our framework has since been revised. To meet the needs of today's teachers and administrators who continue to request a useful and updated resource, the History-Social Science subcommittee of the Curriculum and Instruction Steering Committee for the California County Superintendents Educational Services Association has developed Pages of the Past. Literature Aligned to California History-Social Science Standards, Grades K-6, 2001.
Already in its second printing, Pages of the Past is being used in classrooms, school libraries, professional development institutes and new teacher training programs. Under the leadership of San Bernardino History-Social Science Coordinator Peg Hill, teachers as well as content area and book specialists combed their resources to identify in-print, age-appropriate books that address grade-level standards. Each annotated literature selection is listed by standard for each grade level, kindergarten through sixth grade. Titles, in Spanish and English, are identified by author, ISBN, published and genre.
Following the grade-specific listings, recommended literacy strategies are presented and organized according to the K-5 Historical Thinking and Analysis Skills - a component of the state content standards. These strategies may be used with a variety of books featured in Pages of the Past and may be adapted to various grade levels. …

"Lovin Milford" Milford by girlthing181
Milford Travel Guide: 18 reviews and 22 photos
Milford NJ is a small river town in New Jersey just north of Frenchtown. Bridge Street is the center of town where the shops and restaurants are located. There are no parking meters and plentiful parking is available. A few small shops consisting of a health food store, children's clothes, antiques, pet supplies, florals, country decor decorate the street along with an eclectic mix of foodie options. The Baker offers homemade breads, muffins etc most made of fresh and organic ingredients and of course coffee & teas. The Dog Pound serves up hot dogs in just about any style one could imagine, a great place for the family with kids. A new diner/restaurant just opened called Alfredo's - havent checked it out yet... The Ship Inn is the main restaurant establishment offering an interesting mix of English/Scottish/Irish foods and their own brews on tap. (my english friend tells me it reminds her of tourist food in enlgand- so if you are of english origin you may want to skip this one). If you are felling a little fishy, head on over to the Milford Oyster House for dinnner. For those of you who LOVE food, I have saved the best for last. The Lovin' Oven is by far my favorite place to eat in a 20-25 mile radius. Julie & Michael (owners) create the most wonderful gourmet foods from the very freshest and local produce, meats etc. The Avacado BLT ranks as one of my standing favorites. Julie makes a mean omelete, I quote my boyfriend as saying, "this is the best omelete i have eaten in this entire country!". limited seating is available in this tiny little restaurant open for breakfast and lunch only - closed on tuesdays. Accomodations can be found at the Widow McCrea B&B in Milford or across the bridge at the Bridgeton House Inn. for old-time, small town charm that is located within 30 minutes of all the other wonderful attractions in the area - you'll be Lovin' Milford NJ.

"There comes a time in every great man's life when he must be cast in wax."
Those were the words of Stephen Colbert at the unveiling of his wax look-alike Friday. And even though he admitted to being freaked out by the figure, his self-absorbed Comedy Central character fell in love with himself.
Among presidents and civil rights leaders at Madame Tussauds Washington, D.C. is none other than comedian Stephen Colbert. Before the unveiling, Colbert expressed gratitude to the museum.
"I want to thank everyone at Madame Tussauds for the honor of becoming the latest Waxican American."
With his Comedy Central crew in tow, Colbert switched in and out of character at the unveiling, but once the curtain came down it was love at first sight.
"This is what it's like to be with me," he laughed.
A crowd gathered outside the museum hoping for a sighting or even a picture of Colbert.
"I said 'Oh my God, I've got to find where this is and go!" says Dana Tiger.
None of his fans were more excited than Tiger, who was visiting from Oklahoma.
"I love Stephen Colbert. It's like a miracle! He's in this building right here and I'm out here outside and my skin is crawling with happiness."
Inside, Colbert was busy filming scenes for an upcoming episode and basking in the glory, knowing his Comedy Central colleague, Jon Stewart, has no wax look-alike.
"I'm sure he's very proud of me and just absolutely burning with jealousy that he doesn't have a wax figurine of his own in Madame Tussauds."
The museum's artists took more than 250 precise measurements and Colbert donated his clothes and accessories. He even provided the exact prescription of his eyeglasses, ensuring what he calls "100-percent accuracy."
When asked what this means to his career, the comedian says, "It's fun! I mean if there are people who would like to have their photo taken with a fake version of me that means I should be able to charge people to take photos of the real version of me. So if my show ever goes away I'll have a backup plan now."
Warning the video below contains strong language.

We are reiterating our Neutral recommendation on the shares of
Reinsurance Group of America
) prior to its third quarter earnings release, scheduled on October
22, 2012.
Approximately 46% of the total company's premium comes from its
international operations, up from 43% last year. Going forward,
management continues to see significant market opportunities in
this segment.
As a result of consolidations in recent years within the life
reinsurance industry, there are fewer competitors. As a
consequence, we believe that the life reinsurance pricing
environment will remain attractive for the existing life
reinsurers, particularly for those with a significant market
presence (RGA controlling approximately 19.4% of market share in
North America ranks second only to Swiss Re holding 21.4% on the
basis of individual life reinsurance in force) and strong ratings.
Some of the negatives include weak equity markets coupled with
interest rates, which is expected to remain low in 2012, and put
additional pressure on Reinsurance Group's Asset Intensive
business. Moreover, management's conservative positioning of the
investment portfolio is expected to exert pressure on yield.
Reinsurance Group competes primarily with Munich Re, Swiss Re,
General Re, a subsidiary of
Berkshire Hathaway Inc.
) (
). Reinsurance Group currently retains a Zacks # 4 Rank, which
translates into a short-term Sell rating.
