Hello there!
There's a few things you can do to help a situation where you're dealing with a dog who has a bad appetite.
One option would be to look into the possibility of appetite stimulant medications that can be prescribed by your veterinarian. They can work wonders for animals who have chronic appetite issues, especially when their overall health is adversely affected.
Another option would be to determine whether the dog is suffering from a stomach or other digestive system issue that's causing pain or discomfort as a result of eating. If every time the dog eats, he's experiencing discomfort or pain, then he's not going to have a very good appetite because he associates eating and food with discomfort and pain.
One common cause of problems is excess stomach acids, which can cause ulcers and irritation to the stomach lining and vomiting (often first thing in the morning, comprised of a yellow liquid). Pepcid is one medication that can work well for controlling these problems. (Let me know if you'd like some additional information about this)
Frequent meals can also help. In the case of an overproduction of stomach fluids, this will make it so that the stomach is more often containing food, which gives the fluids something to act on. The food acts as a sort of "padding" so that the fluids are not irritating an empty stomach.
Some dogs with sensitive stomachs also appreciate three or four smaller meals throughout the day. It's much easier for the system to handle and he won't have to deal with a heavy, full stomach from just one or two meals a day. Hydrating dry food can also be helpful, as the food expands before it enters the stomach. You can let the food sit in hot water for a couple of minutes - let the food swell and absorb the water. If you give dry food, the dog will eat until he's full. Then the dry food expands as it absorbs the fluid, making an already full stomach even fuller, which can cause discomfort and vomiting.
Sensitive stomachs can also benefit from prescription bland foods from your vet. Hill's for example, makes I/D, which is a bland food that's easy to digest.
There's also all sorts of sauces and gravies out there that can be added to foods to make them more palatable. Iams makes a product called "Savory Sauce," which is available in the food aisle of the pet store or supermarket. And you can also try small amounts of gravy, which can help as well.
Another option would be to try a higher quality food. My favorite is Hill's Science Diet. And there's also prescription foods that are high-calorie. This way, while your dog may not be eating all that much, but he'll get more nutrients with what food he actually does eat. So that's another route to go if appetite is an issue.
I would also make sure that your dog is comfortable while eating. Uncomfortable stimuli while eating can result in appetite issues. Some dogs feel uncomfortable eating beside a sliding glass door, for example, as this makes them feel exposed and vulnerable. Eating with other dogs in the same room can also create anxiety, as there's natural competition over food in the dog world. And when we're anxious, our stomach's feel all wrong, and eating isn't top on our list, so this could be a factor as well. I would see to it that he's undisturbed by other animals and people, in a cozy, quiet area. A bathroom may work well, for example, if you're looking for a small, cozy area where he'll be undisturbed for a few minutes.
Another option would be a new diet, like a raw, natural diet. BARF is one natural diet for dogs and many pets with food sensitivities or poor appetites benefit from this.
Here's a site to learn more:
I hope this helps your boy! Don't hesitate to let me know if you have any additional questions!

Somewhere around the blogs etc documenting Stackoverflow beta, someone asked "what's a good community size," and someone (Jeff?) answered along the lines of "we found it really started to work when it went north of 1000 people." I can't find the attribution right now... what's the link?
What is meta?
- 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
That was me: How many people do you need to a make a StackExchange site work?
It was in reference to podcast 18. They were discussing the early Stack Overflow beta. At that point, 1,000 people had already answered a question with at least one up-vote (Teacher badge). The tone of the conversation was that Stack Overflow was declared "a success." I brought it up as a data point to consider. Not necessarily a minimum size for a "good community."
In more recent podcasts (episode 70), they talk about the success of StackExchange sites and the minimum number of knowledgeable people needed to make a site worthwhile. Joel's response: The minimum number of users needed answering questions: one.

Tax credits also at stake in fiscal cliff debate, White House says
WASHINGTON — Oklahoma families would lose valuable tax credits, along with having their income tax rates go up, if no agreement is reached to extend the current tax rates, according to a White House report.
An estimated 447,000 Oklahoma families will lose access to the Child Tax Credit and about 90,000 families in the state will no longer be able to claim the American Opportunity Tax Credit that helps pay for college, according to the White House report.
The White House has been pressuring congressional Republicans to extend current income tax rates for 98 percent of taxpayers while allowing rates to rise for the top earners. The rates are set to increase automatically in January. Republicans agree with extending the tax rates for the middle class but don't want rates to go up for upper brackets, saying it would hurt small businesses that file returns under the individual tax code.
President Barack Obama last week called on Americans to urge Congress to extend the tax cuts, and the White House has been waging a public-relations campaign to highlight the potential consequences of letting them expire.
The Obama administration reported last week that 1.3 million Oklahoma families would see their taxes increase if no action is taken before the new year.
The White House report released Wednesday includes specific examples of how the tax increases would hit families at various income levels:
• A family of four with household income of $63,100 could expect a tax increase of $2,200. Of that, $890 would come from merging the 10 percent bracket into the 15 percent bracket; $1,000 would come from reducing the Child Tax Credit from $1,000 to $500 per child; and $310 would come from reducing the standard deduction for married couples.
• A family of four with income of $80,000, a teenager at home and a sophomore at the University of Oklahoma would pay $2,250 more; along with the changes cited in the previous example, the couple would lose $550 in credit that now can be claimed for a child in college through the American Opportunity Tax Credit.
• A couple with one child, earning $130,000, would face a tax increase of $4,040; of that, $3,150 would come from a combination of the expiring marriage penalty relief and the increase of the 25 percent tax rate to 28 percent; $890 would come from the expiration of the 10 percent tax rate.
• A single mother with two children, who is working full time and earning $24,000 a year, could expect a tax hike of $1,670; of that, $1,500 would come because the child tax credit would fall from $1,000 to $500 per child, and less of the credit would be available to low- and moderate-income families; $170 would come from the expiration of the 10 percent tax bracket.

College baseball: Jake Elliott throws solid game in Sooners' win over Seton Hall
Oklahoma erupted for 18 hits, including a home run from Hunter Haley, and whipped Seton Hall 15-6 in college baseball before 1,245 fans at Mitchell Park in Norman.
Mac James added four hits, and Hector Lorenzana added three to help the Sooners win the series 2-1. OU scored four times in the first inning and never looked back against the Pirates, who committed four errors. Haley and Taylor Alspaugh had three RBIs apiece for OU, which never played Seton Hall in baseball before this season.
The Sooners' starting pitcher, Jake Elliott, had a solid game. He gave up two earned runs on two hits, four walks and three strikeouts.
Freshman Cody Thomas made his college debut, striking out as a pinch-hitter. Thomas is the first football player to appear for OU in a baseball game since Brandon Jones in 2004. Thomas is one of several prospects who will compete at quarterback next fall.
Oklahoma continues its season-opening homestand at 3 p.m. Tuesday against Arkansas-Pine Bluff (0-4).
Oklahoma State scored the winning run in the top of the seventh inning Sunday and trimmed Texas-Arlington 4-3 on the final day of the UTA/Hilton Classic at Clay Gould Ballpark. The Cowboys completed the season-opening gathering with a 3-0 record, which included wins over Incarnate Word and Stephen F. Austin.
Saulyer Saxon gave the Cowboys a 4-2 lead on Dustin Williams' sacrifice fly. Saxon led off the inning with a walk, advanced to second base on a wild pitch and moved to third on a grounder. Saxon also had two RBIs.
Texas-Arlington (0-3) scored a run in the bottom of the seventh inning, but closer Brendan McCurry blanked the Mavericks over the final two innings on no hits, no walks and a strikeout. The save was McCurry's second of the season.
OSU will open the home portion of its season at 4 p.m. Tuesday against Alcorn State (0-3) at Reynolds Stadium in Stillwater.

"My second visit and it's keeps getting better and better!"
My second visit to Punta Gabriela and it's more outstanding than ever! Everything was perfect from the sparkling bed linens to the wildlife. Sighted toucans and monkeys every morning! The staff is excellent including the helicopter ride from San Jose. Captain Adam, Caretaker Edwin and the rest of the staff are top notch. Awesome local food prepared to perfection. It's just a spectacular place to experience.

"beautiful villas, amazing view, fun and relaxing"
We went for our honeymoon and could not have picked a better destination. The rooms were absolutely beautiful, over looking the water. It was relaxing to stay by the pool or take a golf cart down the street to a little town on the beach. There were many attractions that were easy to get to, Horse riding to the water falls with a stop for lunch, zip- lining through the rain forest, fishing and whale watching just to name a few. We had an amazing time and can't wait to go back.

"Amazing honeymoon!!"
Danny and I just returned from our honeymoon at Punta Gabriella. This is our second time around and we really did our research to find an extraordinary destination. My Google search was "Beach Bungalow with Private Jacuzzi". Wow!!, we were not disappointed!. It was everything we had envisioned. Private villa (for those who don't like to wear a lot of clothes), private jacuzzi, private infinity pool, beautiful sleeping villa, spectacular panoramic views. Seriously, probably the most beautiful property we have ever stayed at. We were lucky enough to have Jesse's helicopter parked on top of the house. We took two unbelievable tours up and down Costa Ricas coast line. Pilot adam was amazing and so knowledgable about the country! It was one of our hi-lights for the week. The staff became our extended family. Edwin the property manager, waited on us everyday with a smile on his face and always enthusiastic to help whenever we asked for anything. The grounds are manicured meticulously, our villa was spotless, the bed was to die for in comfort and the common house is 5 star in beauty with luxury facilities. There was plenty of sun, even for the rainy season. The rain was inviting to listen to in the afternoon. The evenings were warm and the sunsets were spectacular. If you want the ultimate rain forest experience combined with service that rivals the best resorts in the world, then look no more. We can not wait to return to Punta Gabriella for our one year anniversary...Danny and Kathy

"Birthday in Paradise"
Punta Gabriela was the most beautiful relaxing and fun vacation ever! The property is beautiful, when the gates opened it was like riding into your own private gated community. Punta Gabriela is absolutely amazing! I fell in love at first site with a great ocean view, to tropical plants, zip lining on property and all the exotic animals. This was defintely a Tropical Paradise!The most important was the staff. The rooms were immaculate and Edwin out did himself. He planned a day of adventure for us from zip lining, to surfing and a amazing helicopter ride over the island. He even surprised me with a amazing birthday dinner and cake.
I could not imagine staying anywhere else in Costa Rica...I will definitely return to Punta Gabriela again!

Hi Jennifer,
We were so happy to have been able to celebrate your birthday
here at Punta Gabriela we all had amazing time with you and your friends. Showing people like yourself and celebrating special times is how we roll here in the land of Pura Vida. We can't wait until your return and don't forget to tell all your friend.
Thanks again.

"Greatly exceeded all of our expectations!"
Just returned from a week's vacation with my wife, 10 year old daughter, and my sister. First time in Costa Rica, and although we read plenty of books and websites in advance, we were best served by the advice and incredible hospitality of Edwin and the rest of the on-site staff. They were awesome!!! Only had to whisper in Edwin's ear when we arrived that my wife's birthday was the following day and he arranged for a birthday cake and cooked a fantastic birthday meal that was shared with the other guests and staff - I was blown away with their willingness to do whatever it takes to ensure first class service! Our week involved alot of adventure arranged by Edwin (zip lining, snorkeling (or "snoking" as Edwin calls it!), chasing dolphins and turtles, white water rafting, and rappelling down beautiful waterfalls. Incredible time, beautiful accommodations (and we've got high expectations), and wonderful staff! Highest recommendation if you're looking for a great spot to visit in Costa Rica!

"A Week In Paradise!"
This property is spectacular! The staff are all very helpful, knowledgable and fun! We spent a week with our two children and had a blast! The amenities are top notch (probably because the owners actually stays there often). If you are planning to visit Costa Rica, Punta Gabriella is a "must do"!

"Best Vacation Ever"
Punta Gabriela is wonderful. Each of the villas are private and have great views of the coast. The bar area and pool are awesome. Beautiful beaches are just a short walk from the resort. You could spend your entire vacation right there and never leave the beautiful premisies, or you can take excursions off the premises arranged by the staff. We took trips to fish, horseback ride to water falls, go zip lining, and rappell down water falls. Each trip was a half day, leaving the rest of the day to shop or just hang out around the pool or bar at Punta Gabriela.

"Our stay at Punta Gabriela is the best vacation we have ever tak"
The villas are luxurious and private. The staff are
available when you want them and unobtrusive when you don't. The communal kitchen and bar are fun and make the stay relaxed. The vistas and the atmosphere are exceptional. We all came home relaxed, refreshed, and re-energized. We have amazing memories (backed up by 2006 pictures & videos) and a little Pura Vida will always stay with us.

"Trip of a Lifetime!"
Punta Gabriela is absolutely beautiful with breathtaking views at every turn. The staff is so accomodating and treated me like royalty! I felt like I was in paradise. The premises and rooms are clean. Villa 1 was a dream! The view from the patio at Villa 1 was truly amazing and I felt blessed to wake up to that view every morning. The sunsets there are unbelievable. Pictures can't even capture its beauty in its entirety. The town is close by and Tortilla Flats had the best fish tacos. I enjoyed zip lining and repelling down the water falls. I have already recommended Punta Gabriela to all of my friends. Loved it and can't wait to visit again!

"Absolutely loved our stay!"
Breathtaking views, beautiful rooms, excellent and friendly staff, and even a zipline on property. One of the best places I've ever stayed on vacation. I highly recommend Punta Gabriela to anyone visiting Costa Rica.

"a romantic getaway in the South Pacific, Costa Rica"
Me, my boyfriend and a good friends couple, decided to take a getaway vacation together. We were looking for comfort, near by many things specially the beach, privacy and of course incredible views where we can just relax and forget about the world for minutes. We found Punta Gabriela.
We rented Villa #1 and #2, we were close to each other however we remained privacy. Punta Gabriela offered us everything to make our stay enjoyable. We didn't leave the place not once to go to the groceries.
We would go surfing and swimming in the morning in Dominical Beach a world class surf spot and only 2 minutes away from the villas and in the afternoon we were at Punta Gabriela villas watching breathtaking sunsets with our favorite cocktails, seating in the jacuzzi or zip lining in the trees. The Canopy sits in the property overlooking the ocean. A truly romantic getaway place in the jungle, in the mountains in the South Pacific Ocean of Costa Rica.

"Amazing Relaxing Exciting Location"
I went with my boyfriend for a new adventure in a 3rd world country and we found ourselves in a piece of paradise with all the commodities of home, an incredible 180 degrees view of the pacific ocean with unique sunsets. The accomodations are superb, lush suite, private jacuzzi in our room overlooking the spectacular view. We even woke up in the middle of the night to go to the helipad on top of the house to look at the incredible sky that you can only see when you are away from the city.
Activities are really nice, we zip lined in the property, went horse riding, and water rafting... visited a few different beaches, our hostess took us to some beautiful places and my boyfriend thought he was Tarzan at the waterfalls.
Animal sight including: tucans, sloths, guaramundies, monkeys, deers...and others that can't remember.
Recommended for couples (honeymooon), group of couples, girls and/or guy groups... it can be a great party house. Don't hesitate, is great!!

"Paradise Extreme"
Recently returned from a week at Punta Gabriela, perhaps the most beautiful place I've ever stayed. As accurate as the photos and descriptions are, my experience was beyond my expectations. I can't imagine how one could improve upon the elegance and comfort of the villas lovingly and tastefully designed and built by the owners, Karen and Jesse Maurer. My stay in villa #1 was beyond luxurious in every way with my own private pool and jacuzzi and a patio to soak up the sun. The room is huge and gorgeous. Edwin, the Costa Rican property, manager knows all the great activities in the area and he can help arrange for all of them from ziplining to fishing and rafting. The sunsets are spectacular. If you can find a way to go, do it!

"Awesome says it all"
The villas are spectacular in design, amenities, cleanliness and extremely comfortable. No details have been overlooked.. Views of the mountains and Pacific ocean from each villa are unmatched, along with the sunsets. The hosts are the most accommodating people you will ever meet and you will want to list them among your friends when you leave, and they will look after your every needs while you are there. Their major domo, Edwin, is very witty and most friendly and will arrange for any excursions in the vicinity. In all, the most relaxing and best B & B we have ever stayed in.

Updated to 3.1.4 and now it is no longer sorting with my custom order. Previously worked before updating.
Updated to 3.1.4 and now it is no longer sorting with my custom order. Previously worked before updating.
Такая же проблема.
Yup, they made changes that makes it impossible to use the built in template functions. Have to work around it or abuse the Ratings field to store the order now.
I continue to scratch my head over why the WordPress devs have never thought that we'd ever want to sort links. Some of the things they leave out can be really short-sighted.
I ended up reverting to 3.1.3 on one site for now that relied on this plugin a lot.
(sorry for my english i'm french)
Indeed, it's umbelievable for a such good blog that the dev never have thought to add a simple option to sort links...
Endymion00 : I'm gonna do the same, revert to 3.1.3, is the SQL database compliant when I switch back to 3.1.3 on my FTP, or have I to restore an old SQL backup ?
I didn't have any problems with the database reverting to 3.1.3
Ok :) I will just replace the wordpress folder on my FTP with the backup I made before to apply the update then. Without to change anything on the SQL database.
I had a doubt cause when it auto upgraded to 3.1.4, it saids "updating database in progress..." or something.
Thanks a lot
It notes:
For version 3.1.4, the database version (db_version in wp_options) remained at 17516.
Awesome thank you !
New version of plugin is up. Notes haven't been updated, but if you use wp_list_bookmarks in your theme you have to switch that to mylinkorder_list_bookmarks. Widgets require no change.
Thanks for the quick turn-around. Appears to be working now.
Still not working for me, my links are all over the place.
Any ideas?
Nope don't know what to tell you. The widget is working without changes and you have to do the above changes. Are you using the widget or not?
thanks for the quick turnaround. Much appreciated.
Just realised I've upgraded to 3.2 and these fixes don't work!
I'm going to hang in there with messed up menus, going to a previous version looks daunting.
switching to
mylinkorder_list_bookmarks and making sure to use
&orderby=order&category_orderby=order made it work for me with WordPress 3.2. Thanks for the quick update!
Thanks for the update about 3.2 jared, I figured it would be ok but haven't upgraded myself. With the copied template functions it should be fairly hard to break the plugin now. I stayed away from doing that so people could just use the built in functions, but I didn't have much of a choice this time.
mattio, it should be working. Are you using the widget or a template function call?
The widget definitely broke on the 3.2 update. I was previously using 'ID' to order my links from newest at the top to oldest at the bottom. Now that option results in a sort by name, Z to A. Several of the other sort options also don't work correctly or at all. No caching software, no other source of problems.
I'm using widgets.
Hmmm. I thought this appeared a minute ago and now it is gone. Andrew said,
If you use wp_list_bookmarks in your theme you have to switch that to mylinkorder_list_bookmarks. Widgets require no change.
Where do I do that.
Still a newbie at this. So which file do I edit to add &orderby=order&category_orderby=order
And where does it go?
Is it the same file where I substitute mylinkorder_ list_bookmarks?
I really want my content specific links to appear before general stuff and technical materials re bloging.
Of course no one has complained about the way it is now but maybe no one is looking ;(
First thing is to be sure you aren't using widgets. Are you working on your mother's site? http://www.lgrossman.com/trudel/
That is using widgets so you would actually just need to go into Appearance -> Widgets and swap the Links widget with the My Link Order widget.
Hi Andrew,
I spent a lot of time trying to drag those widgets around on my iPad.. Editing this blog has really taught me a lot about what I was beginning to think was an expensive toy..
Then I opened the my link order edit field and noticed the activate button button. D'oh. Then I found the same functionality in the old links widget. Voila! Problem solved. Thank you so much.
I think my side bar now makes more sense to me..and after all I look at it more than anyone else. ;)
Thanks again.
I am using the Suffusion theme, which uses Widgets. I have been using your Plugin for a long time, and have read the posts about the problems with the latest WordPress update, but I still can't figure out what's going on with mine. I have downloaded your Plugin update, but for some reason have not been able to get it to work. When I add My Link Order, nothing is showing up on my sidebar. When I use the plain old Link widget, they show up fine.
(My blog page is travelingtexasduo[dot]com)
Just wanted to add that it seems extra weird because I also use your "My Page Order" plugin, and it seems to still be working fine.

I'm racing my first race in a couple of weeks and trying to think about my strategy. It's a cat 5 RR out and back, ending with a fair hill (1600 ft in about 10 miles, ~4.3% most of the time). There are also a few other smaller hills thrown in.
I'm thinking I should hang with the group for most of the ride, and maybe try a break before the last hill. Breaks before that will likely be caught, at least to my thinking. Since it's a cat 5, I'm not expecting a lot of team organization or coordinated breaks. I think of myself as more of a climber, hence saving myself for the last climb.
What say you all?

Biosurfactants in agriculture
- Dhara P. SachdevAffiliated withInstitute of Bioinformatics and Biotechnology, University of Pune
- , Swaranjit S. CameotraAffiliated withInstitute of Microbial Technology Email author
Agricultural productivity to meet growing demands of human population is a matter of great concern for all countries. Use of green compounds to achieve the sustainable agriculture is the present necessity. This review highlights the enormous use of harsh surfactants in agricultural soil and agrochemical industries. Biosurfactants which are reported to be produced by bacteria, yeasts, and fungi can serve as green surfactants. Biosurfactants are considered to be less toxic and eco-friendly and thus several types of biosurfactants have the potential to be commercially produced for extensive applications in pharmaceutical, cosmetics, and food industries. The biosurfactants synthesized by environmental isolates also has promising role in the agricultural industry. Many rhizosphere and plant associated microbes produce biosurfactant; these biomolecules play vital role in motility, signaling, and biofilm formation, indicating that biosurfactant governs plant–microbe interaction. In agriculture, biosurfactants can be used for plant pathogen elimination and for increasing the bioavailability of nutrient for beneficial plant associated microbes. Biosurfactants can widely be applied for improving the agricultural soil quality by soil remediation. These biomolecules can replace the harsh surfactant presently being used in million dollar pesticide industries. Thus, exploring biosurfactants from environmental isolates for investigating their potential role in plant growth promotion and other related agricultural applications warrants details research. Conventional methods are followed for screening the microbial population for production of biosurfactant. However, molecular methods are fewer in reaching biosurfactants from diverse microbial population and there is need to explore novel biosurfactant from uncultured microbes in soil biosphere by using advanced methodologies like functional metagenomics.

The history of the Vita-Mix Corporation dates back over 90 years to 1921 when the founder, W.G. "Papa" Barnard started selling "modern" home products. In 1937, he introduced a new product, a blender called the Vita-Mix.
After several years of successfully selling the Vita-Mix through word-of-mouth and at local fairs around the country, "Papa" Barnard booked a 30 minute time slot on a local TV station in Cleveland and took to the airwaves. This first-ever infomercial showed off the benefits of his new machine and made the blender a household word.
Since then, they've grown from their headquarters in a small log cabin, built by the founder himself, to a world-class facility in Olmsted Township, Ohio.
The company is currently lead by Jodi Berg, a fourth generation family member who holds the history of the company close to her heart. She is also a vocal supporter of the same health-first ideas that were made popular by the company founder, "Papa" Barnard.
The Vita-Mix Corporation's commitment to quality, customer service, and unmatched performance is what makes them the preferred brand of restaurant owners and chefs in both their professional and home kitchens.

This invention relates generally to mixtures comprised of at least two mixture components which are adapted to be combined in a predetermined mixture ratio, and containers for such mixtures.
Many beverages, such as fruit juices, are distributed and marketed in a diluted ready-to-consume form. The beverages are typically made from concentrates which are combined with water during production, and shipped in ready-to-use containers. Processing concentrates into diluted form and shipping the large and heavy volume of associated liquid in bulky containers is costly in both processing and distribution.
Many beverage companies also distribute beverage concentrates and leave the addition of water and mixing to the consumer. However, this requires the consumer to provide their own container. Many consumers would prefer purchasing the products in their own prepackaged containers. The consumer doesn't realize the same inconveniences as the beverage suppliers. The consumer typically transports at most a few containers a short distance, as compared to the supplier which must transfer a large number of containers much greater distances, and be concerned with storage and transportation costs.
Preferred embodiments of the invention are illustrated in the accompanying drawings, in which:
FIG. 1 is a side elevational view of a mixing kit in accordance with the invention.
FIG. 2 is a side elevational view of the mixing kit of FIG. 1 shown in an expanded condition.
FIG. 3 is a cross-sectional view of an alternat embodiment mixing kit in accordance with the invention.
FIG. 4 is a side elevational view of the mixing kit of FIG. 3 shown in an expanded condition.
FIG. 5 is a cross-sectional view of yet another embodiment mixing kit in accordance with the invention.
FIG. 6 is a cross-sectional view of the mixing kit of FIG. 5 shown in an expanded condition.
FIG. 7 is a side elevational view of still another embodiment mixing kit in accordance with the invention.
FIG. 8 is a side elevational view of the mixing kit of FIG. 7 shown in an expanded condition.
The following disclosure of the invention is submitted in compliance with the constitutional purpose of the Patent Laws "to promote the progress of science and useful arts" (Article 1, Section 8).
The invention comprises a self-contained mixing kit primarily developed for the beverage industry. Several embodiments of mixing kits in accordance with the invention are illustrated in the figures. A first embodiment mixing kit is shown by FIGS. 1 and 2, and is indicated generally by reference numeral 10. Mixing kit 10 includes a volume expandable enclosure or container 12 which retains a predetermined volume of a first mixture component 14. First mixture component 14 is substantially non-gaseous and adapted for combination with a second mixture component comprised of liquid in a predetermined mixture ratio. Where mxing kti 10 is configured for beverages, first mixture component 14 will typically be a powder or crystalline solid substance, as shown. Liquid or frozen concentrates would of course also be usable as a first mixture component. The second mixture component would typically comprise water or dilutant which would later be combined by theconsumer with the first mixture component in the predetermined mixture ratio when ready for consumptionor final use.
Container or enclosure 12 is preferably transparent and substantially circular in lateral cross section. It, or course, could be transparent and of altenate cross-sectional configuration. If it preferably constructed to be disposable, although materials of construction could be used that would render the enclosure reusable. Enclosure 12 includes an upper first portion 16 and a lower second portion 18 spaced from upper first portion 16. A third portion 20 is connected to each of second and third portions 16, 18 respectively, and extends therebetween. Third portion 20 is expandable, having a plurality of lateral or accordion-style pleats 22. Second portion 18 is downwardly closed or sealed by an enclosure bottom 23. First portion 16 is upwardly open defining an enclosure opening 24. A lid 26 covers and seals opening 24. It is shown displaced from enclosure 12 in FIG. 1 for clarity, and connected thereto in FIG. 2. Lid 26 includes internal threads 28 which thread to external threads 30 formed about the upper external portion of enclosure first portion 16. Lid 26 preferably hermetically seals opening 24 to provide an air-tight, fluid-tight enclosure.
First, second and third portions 16, 18, and 20 define a predetermined condensed enclosure volume (FIG. 1) sufficient to retain the predetermined volume of first mixture component 14. First, second and third portions 16, 18, and 20 also define a predetermined expanded enxlosure mixture volume (FIG. 2). The expanded mixture volume is sufficient to retain the predetermined volume of first mixture component 14 plus a volume of the second liquid mixture component in the proper predetermined ratio relative to first mixture component 14. Enclosure first portion 16 includes demarcation means int eh form of a fill mark 32 to indicate the level at which liquid should be added to establish the desired predetermined ratio when third portion 20 is expanded. The fill mark 32 would or course not be essential for certain mixtures such as beverages. The expanded container volume approximates the predetermined ratio to produce the desired taste for a beverage.
Enclosure 12 can be constructed of a variety of materials such as plastic, foils, metal, etc. First and second portions 16, 18 are preferably substantially ridig, while third portion 20 will typically be flexible to accommodate the expandable nature of the kit. Enclosure 12 is also preferably constructed to have substantially equal internal cross-sectional dimensions along its entire length. Alternate configurations, such as conical, could of course be usable without departing from the principles and scope fothe invention.
Mixing kit 10 provides the convenience to the beverage manufacturer and consumer for transport and storage in its condensed, concentrated form as shown in FIG. 1. The consumer also derives the benefit of purchasing a beverage capable of consumption from its own container that does not require substantial storage space.
FIGS. 3 and 4 illustrate an alternate embodiment mixing kit 100 in condensed and expanded conditions. Component parts of mixing kit 100 that are substantially the same as component parts of mixing kit 10 are similarly numbered with 100 series numerals. For example, first portion 16 of mixing kit 10 becomes first portion 116 of mixing kit 100. The same numbering configuration is followed with the description of mixing kits 200 and 300 which follow. Only differences between the kits believed necessary for an understanding of the disclosure are explained below.
Mixing kit 100 primarily differs from kit 10 in the seal for the opening 124 and the provision of an enclosure handle 134. Handle 134 is comprised of a container fourth portion 136 which is divided into three sections 138, 140, 142 which make the fourth portion expandable. Sections 138 and 142 are connected to exteriors of the first and second enclosure portions 116, 118 respectively. Section 140 is connected to and extends between opposite ends of sections 138, 142. Fourth portion 136 is preferably integrally constructed of one piece, with sections 138, 140, 142 being defined by a pair of creases 144, 146. The material of construction is preferably sufficiently flexible to permit folding into the condensed form as shown in FIG. 3, yet, it also preferably assists in maintaining enclosure 112 in an expanded condition when grapsed by a user of the kit.
FIG. 3 illustrates the condensed container volume for mixing kit 100, with fourth portion 136 being folded at each of creases 144, 146. When enclosure 112 is expanded (FIG. 4), fourth portion 136 unfolds at creases 144, 146 to form projection container handle 134. Accordingly, creases 144, 146 and middle section 140 comprise an expandable mid-section enabling the fourth portion to be expanded, as third portion 120 is expanded, to form the expanded container mixture volume. Grasping of middle section 140 and adjacent sections 138, 142 structurally assists in maintaining enclosure 112 in the expanded condition. Although handle 134 is illustrated as being solid throughout, it could also be constructed to be hollow for increasing the mixture capacity of a given length container.
Mixing kit 100 also includes an alternate lid 126 and modified enclosure first portion 116. The uppermost section of first portion 116 comprises a flat, annular rim surface 148. Lid 126 comprises a thin piece of foil which covers opening 124, and is adhered by a suitable adhesive to upper flat rim surface 148. Lid 126 preferably hermetically seals opening 124 to prevent ingress of contaminate or loss of concentrate during shipping. It includes a tab-like projection 150 which radially extends outwardly beyond opening 124 and upper flat rim surface 148. Tab 150 provides an easy way of displacing at least a portion of the lid from the opening (FIG. 4) to break the seal and enable the closure ot be expanded. Were the seal not broken, it would be difficult at best to expand the container due to vacuum pressure that would be created upon attempted expanding of the enclosure.
FIGS. 5 and 6 illustrate another alternate embodiment mixing kit 200 in accordance with the invention that is very similar to kit 100 illustrated in FIGS. 3 and 4. Handle 234 of kit 200 is continuous and constructed of a firm but flexible material, such as a rubber material It is substantially soft and flexible along its length to provide the desired collapsibility/expandability, and also adds structural support to support the container in the expanded condition when grasped by a user of the kit.
FIGS. 7 and 8 illustrate still another embodiment mixing kit 300 in accordance with the invention. Mixing kit 300 differs primarily from mixing kits 10, 100 and 200 in its third portion 320. Third portion 320 is expandable, including a plurality of helical creases 352 which spiral or angle between first and second portions 316, 316 respectively. Enclosure 312 is expanded by twisting at least one of first and second portions 316, 318 relative to the other as indicated by arrows A and B in FIG. 8. Handle 334 is illustrated as being of the same configuration as handle 234 of mixing kit 200. The ends of handle 334 are connected to first and second portions 316, 318 such that they longitudinally align when container 312 is in its expanded condition (FIG. 8).
The mixing kit of the invention was primarily developed to assist manufacturers and distributors of beverages by reducing the volume of the container, and yet provide a consumer with a near ready-to-use product in its own container. To use the kit, a consumer would break the lid seal and expand the container to its expanded volume. Water or other dilutant or solvent would be added to the container to the level of the fill mark and stirred to intimately mix the concentrate with the dilutant. The kit would also be advantageous to campers, backpackers, or the like where transport space and weight are of a major significance.
As referred to above, thekit is preferably constructed to be disposable after a single use, but it could be configured for multiple uses by using and ultimately replacing the first mixture component within the enclosure. In such cases, the kit would be constructed to include reusable lids, such as illustrated by FIGS. 1 and 2. Many beverages, such as soft drinks, juices, teas, coffees, hot chocolate, etc. could be packaged and marketed as a kit in accordance with the invention.
Although primarily intended for use with beverages, it will be apparent that the mixing kit has potentially many other uses. Such uses, by way of example and not of limitation, would include:
(a) a fuel kit for two-cycle engines wherein the first mixture component is two-cycle engine oil and the second mixture component is gasoline;
(b) herbicides or pesticides;
(c) breakfast food wherein the first mixture component is a dry cereal and the second mixture component is milk; and
(d) industrial cleaners.
The kit would also of course be usable with mixtures comprised of more than two mixture components.
In compliance with the statute, the invention has been described in language more or less specific as to structural features. It is to be understood, however, that the invention is notlimited to the specific features shown, since the means and construction herein disclosed comprise a preferred form of putting the invention into effect. The invention is, therefore, claimed inany of its forms or modifications within the proper scope of the appended claims, appropriately interpreted in accordance with the doctrine of equivalents.

11 February 2013
OSTRAVA, CZECH REPUBLIC: Czech Republic defeated Australia 4-0 but the tie was a lot closer than the scoreline suggests, with five of the nine sets from the weekend being resolved by tiebreaks. Unfortunately for Australia, they didn't win any of the five.
On the first day, Jarmila Gajdosova put up a strong showing against Petra Kvitova but the Czech prevailed in straight sets. The second rubber on the opening day saw Sam Stosur take on Lucie Safarova. This was even closer than the first rubber, with Safarova winning in two tiebreaks to put Czech Republic 2-0 up.
Australia needed to win all three matches on day two to progress to the semifinals, and an upset appeared on the cards when Sam Stosur had match point against Petra Kvitova, but the Czech fought back, winning the second set tiebreak and going on to win the rubber and take the tie. The Czechs then won the dead doubles rubber in straight sets to complete the 4-0 victory.

As Ohioans prepare to set their clocks up one hour this weekend, Ohio's Secretary of State says they should do something else. Ohio Public Radio's Jo Ingles has details.
Secretary of State Jon Husted says in addition to changing their clocks and the batteries for their smoke detectors, Ohioans should check their voter registrations and change their addresses if necessary.
It's not difficult to make changes. Just go to the website MyOhioVote.com. It takes about five minutes to update a voter registration. And by doing that, voters will be able to cast a regular, instead of provisional, ballot on Election Day.
Or voters with updated registrations can also request a ballot to vote by mail. Voters who want to cast ballots in the primary this May have until April 6 to update their registrations.
