We are a family of 5 with an extra adult for help with the kiddos. I have a few questions regarding transportation, safety and general things to do. We are staying on the far east side of the island, and it appears from google maps, there's not much around for restaurants and shops. I would love a recommendation on a cozy place on the beach to grab lunch and a drink, and a nice place to being the family?. Also, any recommendations on car rentals? As for safety, anything we should be aware of for personal safety, or any food consumption concerns, or water consumption? Lastly, we would like to venture out to try a few different beaches, any recommendations, and do you have to buy a permit for access?

We rented a car last month for one day through Thrifty and they were excellent (brought the car to the resort and picked it up there as well). The one thing they told us that I thought was interesting was that we shouldn't lock the car if we parked it at the beach or other out of the way places. This way, if someone was going to break into the car, they wouldn't have to break the windows! That being said, we didn't have any concerns for our personal safety and wandered all over the island. Have fun!
Report Abuse
Do your kids like Mexican food? We really love SOMEWHERE cafe on Grace Bay Beach. It's located next to The Windsong Resort. Very casual atmosphere, good Mexican food, drinks, good views from the top level of the restaurant.
In November, we visited DA CONCH SHACK for the first time, and liked that, too. They serve fish n chips, cracked conch, conch soup, etc. It's a very basic kind of place, but right on the beach, away from the hotels. They also sell conch shells and t-shirts.
A little farther on from DA CONCH SHACK is a place called SAILING PARADISE, in the BLUE HILLS section. We haven't visited yet, but hope to get there soon. It serves Jamaican jerk dishes and seafood of all kinds. Supposedly, it has a very beautiful location on an uncrowded beach. I've heard that the owner will send a shuttle to the hotels to pick you up, but no idea if he will pick you up from the rest of the island.
We've also gone to HEMINGWAYS at THE SANDS HOTEL, also on Grace Bay. It was fine for lunch, nothing special, but is beachfront and has a kid-friendly menu.
Two places we've tried and loved at dinner that seem very family-friendly are: MANGO REEF and BAY BISTRO, both of which I'd highly recommend. I also love COCO BISTRO, but it's more of an adult atmosphere, expensive, and the food can take a while to arrive.
About safety: We've been advised not to walk the beach after dark. No special precautions about food or water. Have a great time!
Report Abuse
Lastly, I wanted to mention LAS BRISAS. I had a chance to visit that area in November, but didn't get to eat at the restaurant. It's got great reviews online, and also offers a daytime pontoon ride around the Sound on its private boat. Might be fun for your kids!
Report Abuse
Da Conch Shack for sure---Sun. live music starting at 2pm. Lots of beautiful shells for sale, the kids will love choosing one and watching them clean out the meat is interesting.
Tiki Hut,Turtle Bay---nice outdoor seating on the boat harbor and kid friendly food, great desserts. Pretty at night. Haven't been there for lunch.
Mango Reef, Hemingway's, and Sesaide Cafe at Ocean Club West---all on the beach. Good for lunch or dinner.
Las Brisas at Chalk Sound---gorgeous views, pontoon ride around the sound, very good Mexican food and other sandwiches for lunch, plus some tasty tropical drinks (loved the blue one, can't remember the name of it.)No beach though.
Bay Bistro---tables right on the sand with tiki torches. Gorgeous at night and fantastic food--pricy, but great for a treat.
Giggles ice cream shop at Ports of Call---fun for all.
Many of the resorts have beach BBQ's which would be fun for the kids---check it out.
A bit of a warning----the food can be spicy, even the ff's, chicken & fish fingers, so ask if that's a concern for the kids. At Danny Bouys Irish restaurant the ff's were so spicy even we couldn't eat them and we like spicy food. I know our grandkids would like the ck. & fish to be a bit plainer. Most places have pasta, but again ask about the sauce or get plain butter. Then again, maybe your kids are more adventuresome when it comes to food.
As far as safety is concerned, we have always felt safe even walking the streets at night. Our car rental also told us to crack a window, leave the door unlocked, and leave nothing in the car. At the resorts, things left on our chairs(books, etc. and a little money in our bags) has never been touched while we swam. Just use normal caution and you should be OK.
We used this car rental and will use it again
Someone else will have to tell you about beach fees as we are at a resort on the beach.
Hope I've helped a bit. Have fun.
Report Abuse
no permit for beach accesses, numerous free parking lots for miles up and down the beaches.
You have to bring your own chairs, umbrellas. There is no where to rent, and chairs and umbrellas belong to resorts for their guests. Even if you eat lunch at any of the resorts, pools,chairs and lounges are off limits.
Cars, Grace Bay Car Rentals, Thrifty and Avis are all good.
Staying in Leeward area? Very close to everything, supermarkets, golf, shops, restaurants.
no food or water concerns, except for your wallet and stay hydrated
Great lunch places, Da Conch Shack, Bay Bistro, Hemingways
Safety in general is fine, proceed like you would anywhere (don't leave things in rental cars, don't leave things laying on the beach if walking away, lock doors at night, etc)

Thank you all for the advice, we can't wait!! It looks like a lovely island! One last question, how's employment as I may want to stay after my visit!!!
Report Abuse
Employment laws, as most islands, are extremely hard.
Expats tend to be realtors or property managers, sometimes resort managers (which requires experience)
All jobs for foreigners require work permits, renewed annually starting at $9000 a year.
Most get the job, have the company set them up and pay for permits.
There are no taxes.
You also have to get a job that a Belonger doesn't want or is not qualified for.
You could also consider investing, renting and retiring with a villa

BCS director says series benefits MWC schools
Dear Mr. Senators, quit trying to run the business of college football.
That's basically the message sent by Bowl Championship Series Executive Director Bill Hancock in a letter to U.S. Sens. Orrin Hatch, R-Utah, and Max Baucus, D-Mont.,) Thursday. It came in response to letter sent in March by Hatch and Baucus, who have waged a war of words against the BCS, which they say is unfair to non-automatic qualifying schools like Utah and BYU.
"While I appreciate your interest," Hancock wrote, "I believe that decisions about college football could be made by university presidents, athletics directors, coaches and conference commissioners rather than by members of Congress."
The letter is five pages and single-spaced and features two attachments totaling more than six pages.
When Hatch and Baucus sent their letter to the BCS in March, Hatch also issued a press release that stated, "It's clear that the BCS is fundamentally unfair and harmful to schools, students, college football fans and consumers throughout the country ... The architects of the BCS should provide the public with more information to dispel the notion that the system is explicitly designed to favor certain teams while disfavoring others."
Among other topics, Hancock responded by addressing the issue of revenue distribution, citing how Utah and the Mountain West Conference have benefited from being participants in the BCS system.
"For example, if the University of Utah qualifies for a BCS game in the 2010-11 season, it will earn for its conference approximately $24.7 million which, under the agreement among the Mountain West and the other four non-AQ conferences, would then be divided among the five conferences," Hancock wrote. "The Mountain West certainly could keep all $25.7 million within the conference, or Utah could keep it all. The decision to share the revenue — and how to allocate it — was made, not by the full group of 11 BCS conferences, or by the six conferences that have earned annual automatic qualification, but by the five non-AQ conferences."
Hancock continued: "An example worth noting is that, if the BCS had not existed, Utah probably would have played in the Las Vegas Bowl in the 2008-09 season. Because of the BCS, the Utes played in the Sugar Bowl instead. The payment from the Las Vegas Bowl was approximately $900,000; for participating in the Sugar Bowl, the Mountain West's share — after the five conferences divided the revenue — was $9 million. Obviously the difference is significant."
Other topics Hancock addressed in the letter included information about the competition for annual automatic qualifying conference status, the BCS structure and governance, and the process for compiling the BCS standings.
Much of the information contained in the letter has been in the public domain and is available on its website, www.bcsfootball.org.

South Africa has world's largest private security industry; needs regulation - Mthethwa
Written by Ministry of Police, Tuesday, 30 October 2012
Mthethwa made the comments when presenting the Private Security Industry Regulation Amendment Bill to the Portfolio Committee on Police in Parliament this morning. The Bill seeks to address identified security threats, risk and problems regarding the regulation of the private security industry.
"According to the Private Security Industry Regulatory Authority (PSIRA) Annual Report, 2010/11, there were 8 828 private security businesses registered as security service providers (which is an 18.35% increase compared to the number of companies registered for the previous financial year). The number of private security guards registered was under 1.7 million. It is also estimated that of the guards registered, over 400 000 are active within the industry."
According to PSIRA it is further estimated that between 15 000 and 20 000 new members join the private security industry each month. However, not all companies and private security guards register with PSIRA as required by law. Many companies and security guards attempt to operate under the radar and unlawfully.
"The South African private security industry is increasingly performing functions which used to be the sole preserve of the police. This has, and will continue to have a serious influence on the functioning of the criminal justice system as a whole. While it is true that private security does and can fill certain vacuums, private security can never replace the public police," added Mthethwa.
The police ministry said that part of the amendment bill is aimed at eradicating criminality within the industry. "Clearly, the ability of criminal networks to infiltrate the industry and the vulnerability of the industry to such infiltration poses a major threat to the government's capacity to address crime," the ministry said.
"An indication of the extent of criminal infiltration of the industry can be seen in the results of a voluntary vetting process initiated by some private security business in 2008 where 170 728 guards were vetted through the SAPS Criminal Records Centre, 14 729 were flagged as being linked to possible criminal activities. All these guards allegedly had valid registration certificates as required under the Private Security Industry Regulatory Act, 2001."
Globally, the United Nations has set up a working group to address regulation in the private security industry. However, there are strong international lobby groups and countries which are opposed to the finalisation of international regulation.
"In fact, on 16 March 2012, over 55 international private security companies met in Geneva to sign an International Code of Conduct (ICoC) for private security service providers (16 of the 27 African based security service providers where South African based companies). The ICoC essentially promotes international self-regulation of the industry and while the move may be welcomed, some commentators have expressed concern that this initiative cannot replace and should not circumvent moves to implement effective international instruments through the United Nations," stated Mthethwa.
"I want to lay to rest the arguments advanced by opponents of this process that it will lead to job losses in the industry. This argument has no basis. The provision of security service depends on supply and demand like any commodity in the market place. Change of ownership will not change demand," Mthethwa said.
"To this day, there is no evidence that because there will be change in the ownership, people will simply disinvest. Indications are that when the time comes they will sell the relevant shares to comply with the law, not closing down as we are led to believe. When foreigners bought number of South African companies no job losses were experienced. Private security companies, like any business are driven by profit nothing else," concluded the Minister.

The greens at Innisbrook Resort and Club have been stingy all week, as evidenced by the low scores to par and struggles by even the leading contenders.

In case anyone forgot, last year's final round of the Valspar Championship was, well, exciting to say the least. Jordan Spieth, the not-yet-No. 1 player in golf, had a putt on 18 to save par and make it into a three-way playoff. He sinks the putt, of course.

The par-5 14th wasn't going excessively well for Just Thomas Saturday. His second shot sent a spectator sprawling. (Said spectator was not hurt and got a golf glove/handshake from Thomas.)
12 Mar 2016 - 4:34pm - 0 Comments
If you were within a few holes of 14 when Jordan Spieth stepped in to his putt for eagle, you probably heard the crowd's roar. Spieth had already battled back to make the cut after shooting a 76 in the opening round.

Customer Reviews
August 2015
Perfect - on time to pick us up and was a great driver.
June 2014
Right on the spot. The driver was very cordial and even stopped at a restaurant to make reservations for a flamenco show/dinner in a place that he recommended.
July 2013
The driver was ready and waiting for us on our arrival, helped with the luggage and drove us to our hotel. Very appreciative!
May 2011
We are comforted to know that we have got someone waiting for us that will take us to our destination without any hassles. An excellent driver who recommended sights and restaurants.Well worth the extra money.
November 2014
We were four adults arriving and the company arrived with a Mercedes sedan. Any logical person would
assume that four people had four bags. Even if they had all been carry on luggage they would never have fitted in the boot. We had to put our large suitcases on our laps which was appalling service for the price we paid.

He will continue to do so until Bon Iver, Iron and Wine or some other band with lumberjack beards is booked for the big stage.
Perhaps you can enlighten me on what bookings I've complained about in the past. The only other one's I even remember commenting on were compliments for booking bands like My Morning Jacket and the Foo Fighters. But to each his own. Enjoy your boy band.
Just another year of country, boy bands, and pop. It really sucks.
When I was 17, I had money to see NKOTB. My father, being controlling, manipulative and emotionally uninvolved, had no clue about this plan until the person I was going to purchase tickets from called our house about the price for a the pair being sold. My stepmother was willing to go with me, and thought it would be a nice experience, as I love music. The money was from my grandmother's will, and her opinion was that I should be allowed to spend the money however I wanted. My father said no, and asked me if I really wanted to attend the concert. Here I thought he was going to side with me, and allow me to go. Instead, he turned the tv to the Home Shopping Network, pulled out his credit card,ordered the "Step By Step" concert VHS tape, and said, " 'there's your concert' ". I was crushed.
Might I suggest the Summerfest brass add Paxton Harding and Big Ups to the card as well?
Stu Harding: "Lance Bass never opened for O-Town. My boy did. You can Google it."
Paxton Harding: "Yea I already told 'em dad, they're refusing to Google it."
"Big Ups is the name of the band! It's me and Ricky and Jason and ya know we sing about life and love and passion, I'm not gonna lie to you we have some pretty *sick* dance moves."
Don Ready: Are you in a boy band?
Paxton: No. I'm in a man band. We're all over 30, we call it a man band. We open for O-Town right here in Temecula. Google it.
Don Ready: No.
Paxton: Google it.
Don Ready: No.
Paxton: Why wouldn't you Google it? I just told you to Google it. Google Big Ups.
Don: No, I Googled it, it said you stink.
Paxton: That was O-Town's website. You know what, I'm rising above all this. While you guys are yukking it up, I'll be rehearsing with Big Ups.

Dr. Wier is a great psychiatrist, but I will be leaving his care due to his receptionist. She has been not just short but flat out rude and insensitive, called me names, and has gone so far as to hang up on me without ever asking why I was calling. I have never met someone that treated people with such disregard in my entire life. She has no business being in the health care industry, especially one that deals with people that are already unstable. It seems as if her sole goal is make people cry or snap. She will not connect you to the doctor, and belittles you when you show up for an appointment. I know I am not the only one that has had to deal with this. I urge all of you to voice your concerns to Dr. Wier. His other receptionist is great, I have no idea why he hired this additional woman, but she needs to go before all his patients do. It is a shame to have to lose a doctor you really admire and trust because dealing with this woman is unbearable. As for Dr. Wier, he is a great psychiatrist. He really works with you to find a treatment that works for you. If you have already found medication that works for you and are just switching doctors, he listens, reads your files, and doesn't make you restart the whole process (which in changing health insurance companies I ran into that problem a lot with doctors wanting to start the diagnose process all over rather than listening to what has and has not helped you in the past). His appointments are a little shorter than some as he seems to deal more with people that have seen a psychiatrist for years and are already set with a treatment plan or are also in other forms of therapy, BUT if you do need additional time just to talk you can schedule it and he will gladly listen to you and help. He is very caring, compassionate, and understanding. I know some people at times need to just be able to talk for a hour or more, and if you need that additional therapy he will give good recommendations for doctors and centers that specialize in your condition. As for someone who knows medication, listens to you, and works with you, Dr. Wier can't be beat.

I have to say that im sorry for the experiences that the women below have shared. I suppose its easier to write a complaint than a compliment. I personally have been seeing Dr. Sweeney for a little over 2 years. She delivered my first baby, and is about to deliver the second next month. I have seen several doctors throughout the years, and none have been as caring and concerned as Dr. Sweeney. She shows actual interest in her patients, and really has whats best for you at heart. In the case that you may not agree with her diagnosis, you have the right to a second opinion. She delivers babies at the hospital next door, so there will be times that she steps out to do this during your appointment. This never happened with my first baby, but has happened twice with this second pregnancy. I am always however given the choice to wait for her to return. Unfortunately with some other physicians, I experienced a bit of racism, or what felt like it at least. Im not the type to victimize myself, but I suppose it happens. Never once have I ever felt that Dr. Sweeney has treated me different because i am a minority. Overall she is an amazing physician that has been recognized numerous amount of times for her great achievements and ability for being a wonderful doctor. Know that you will be in good hands when seeing her and her staff. CouldntBeHappier
Dr. Cardwell is virtually a one of a kind. He has degrees in BOTH neurology and psychiatry. As far as I know, this is not matched by anyone else in Austin and very, very few in the country as a whole. Dr. Cardwell is extremely well read in the physical causes (neurology) of so called "psychiatric" illnesses. I'm a big believer that everything has a physical cause and thus psychiatry really needs a physical disease approach for best success. Dr. Cardwell can and does talk in great detail about the neurological basis of a patients problems and discusses, where appropriate, pharmacological approaches that may help and why they may help. He also offers an astute degree of counseling based on a very extensive database of psychiatric knowledge. He is very intelligent and shows clear caring for his patients. He's also very professional and at the same time can provide a degree of humor (which I find very helpful). There is no one I would trust more that Dr. Cardwell. I would not be exaggerating to say he literally saved my life (I came to him at a deep trough in my life caused by extreme anxiety disorder). I can not recommend Dr. Cardwell nearly enough.

Justin Bieber: Miley Cyrus 'Not My Type', Selena Gomez Is
Justin Bieber recently revealed that Miley Cyrus is not the kind of girl that he would fall in love with. In a radio interview with Z100 DJ TJ, Bieber said "Noooooo. Not my type," when TJ gave Miley as a suggestion of someone in Hollywood around his age. "[But] she's cool. She's nice," he added.
Justin and Miley are featured singers in the "We Are the World 25" song which was recorded for Haiti and they shot the music video together with the rest of the artists. Justin revealed what kind of girl would attract him earlier in the interview, saying "I look for just a nice laid-back funny girl who can make me laugh. Or just funny, down to earth and have a good smile."
TJ kept pressuring him to mention one name when Justin kept insisting that he only has his eyes on Beyonce Knowles. "I know you're trying to get this answer out of me," Justin gave up. "I think Selena Gomez is pretty, but I don't like her. I think she is cute. I think she is a cutie." Justin once teamed up with Selena on stage for a performance of his "One Less Lonely Girl".
In the interview, Justin also talked about a crazy fan's attack, ditching Justin Timberlake for Usher and being famous at 15.

This application claims the benefit of U.S. Provisional patent application Ser. No. 60/014,198, filed Mar. 27, 1996.
1. Field of the Invention
This invention relates to sport court targets for training purposes and, in particular, to a tennis targeting device with multiple targeting panels for assisting a professional tennis instructor in teaching tennis, for example. Each targeting panel is strategically located on a tennis court to maximize the instructive benefits of the targets. The targets are planar panels made of a flexible, durable sheet material. Upon the upper surfaces of the panels are indicia for indicating placement on the court and also for determining a player's accuracy.
2. Description of the Prior Art
The prior art is replete with sports targeting devices purporting to aid in skill development. U.S. Design Pat. No. 255,822 issued on Jul. 8, 1980, to Dulude shows a pattern for a gun target, but does not teach how to make or use a device that is intended primarily to assist in the instruction of tennis. Though U.S. Pat. No. 4,743,020 issued on May 10, 1988, to Meurer is a utility patent, it describes an apparatus that lacks flexibility of use. The Meurer patent describes a large, upright structure intended to enhance a ball player's aim, whether in tennis, squash, or handball; however, it cannot be adapted to simulate conditions of an actual tennis game.
Several patents describe inventions intended to improve player skill for a particular game, such as U.S. Pat. No. 4,842,283 issued on Jun. 27, 1989, to LeBel et al., that describes a targeting assembly that simulates an ice hockey net. Similarly, U.S. Pat. No. 5,083,774 issued on Jan. 28, 1992, to Yalvac describes a baseball target assembly. Additionally, U.S. Pat. No. 5,348,291 issued on Sep. 20, 1994, to Scully shows a baseball pitching trainer, which includes numerous weighted plumb lines that are displaced by a pitched ball, thereby indicating the accuracy of the throw. Finally, of conceptual interest is U.S. Pat. No. 5,435,560 issued on Jul. 25, 1995, to Kehoe, which describes a golf putting target that simulates a golf hole. This device describes a putting target made of a thin, pliable, disk for placement on a surface. None of the aforementioned targeting devices can be adapted for use on a court during a tennis match or drill session in conjunction with a instruction session by a professional tennis instructor.
Other patents describe games. For example, U.S. Pat. No. 5,000,284 issued on Mar. 26, 1991, to Butler et al. describes an indoor balloon bounce game with a small rectangular playing mat that resembles a ping-pong table, which is placed on the floor of a game room. This game cannot be adapted to instruct tennis. Describing still another game, U.S. Pat. No. 5,201,526 issued on Apr. 13, 1993, to Ketcham, Jr., resembles lawn croquet, except the goal is a small trampoline-like assembly that rests several inches off the surface of a lawn. Finally, U.S. Pat. No. 5,452,902 issued on Sep. 26, 1995, to Forster et al., describes a ball game wherein the ball and the puck/targets are covered with hook and loop material. These games, while assisting young players develop motor skills and coordination, cannot be adapted to simulate a tennis match or assist a tennis instructor.
Finally, German Offenlegungsschrift 41 17 374 A 1, published on May 28, 1991, by Zimmer describes a complex electronic signaling device including a target mat that permits self instruction. Aside from the complexity and expense of this device, it provides a singularity of utility that cannot simulate actual court conditions during a match. French Brevet D'Invention, Pub. No. 2,706,779, published on Dec. 30, 1994, by Sournies describes a netted training cage for tennis and other sports with an inclined tube that returns the ball to the player. Like the German publication this publication describes a device that precludes on-court drill sessions initiated by, and including, the professional tennis instructor.
Consequently, the inventions of the prior art lack the spontaneity and immediacy that allow the student of tennis to learn at a varied rate. Furthermore, inventions of the prior art lack the flexibility that permit the instructor to customize lessons according to the level of the student. None of the above inventions and patents, taken either singly or in combination, is seen to describe the instant invention as claimed. Therefore, a need exists for a sport court training targeting device solving the aforementioned problems.
The present invention is a sport court training targeting device for assisting in the instruction of court sports, and made up of five, two-dimensional targeting panels that are strategically placed on a tennis court. Each targeting panel is preferably made of a flexible durable sheet material, such 40 oz-/yard2 PVC-coated nylon fabric. Each targeting panel has an upper surface and lower surface. Each targeting panel can be positioned and repositioned on a tennis court, with the lower surface of the targeting panel disposed contiguously with the surface of the tennis court. Further, each targeting panel may contain a plurality of weights, such as zinc washers, inserted into small pockets formed by stitching (or some other manner of sealing) tabs of a material similar to that which forms the targeting panels, to the lower surface of each of the targeting panels.
More specifically, the sport court training target panels are as follows. Three targeting panels are a similarly formed D-shape. Each of these three targeting panels has alignment indicia thereon for facilitating placement and alignment of the target panel on the court. The alignment indicia replicates the line formed by either the service line or the midline. The other two targeting panels are mirror images, each having two linear edges that meet to form approximately a right angle and a third edge forming an arc. Further, upon each of the five targeting panels are geometrically shaded target zones that assist the student or the instructor determine accuracy of a serve, volley or shot. Once the targeting panels have been placed on the side of the court opposite the player, the instructor can take his or her position alongside the targeting panels and begin the serving or the drill lessons.
Importantly, while using the present invention, the instructor may customize lessons according to the specific needs, strengths, or weaknesses of a particular player simply by rearranging the position of the targeting panels on the court. For instance, when instructing a beginner such as a young child, the targeting panels can be moved to a forward position on the court to minimize difficulty and to maximize the fun, amusement and positive feedback essential in successfully teaching children. For the intermediate player, the instructor can use the sport court training targets to help develop ground strokes, volleys and serves. And finally, for the advanced player, the instructor can position the sport court training targets for creating difficult patterned drills, to mimic match scenarios, and develop playing strategies against the mimicked match scenarios.
Accordingly, it is a principal object of the invention to provide a two-dimensional targeting device, having five panels, that plays a fundamental role, and is an essential tool in the professional tennis instructor's repertoire of instruction methods. Further, it is an essential feature of the present invention that the targeting panels provide the instructor with a tool that is both flexible and adaptable in its use and practical application.
It is another object of the invention to provide the professional tennis instructor with a method of teaching tennis lessons that is easily adaptable and flexible to the needs and skill levels of individual players and, moreover, provides the instructor and player with immediate feedback and reinforcement.
It is another object of the invention to provide indicia on the surface of target panels that are geometrically shaped target zones.
Still another object of the invention is to provide two-dimensional sport court training targeting panels that are inexpensive .and made of materials that are flexible, durable and readily available. Further, it is intended that the sport court training targets require little or no post-purchase assembly. The sport court training targets are readily removed from a tennis court after a drill session and then completely and compactly stored.
In a broader context, it is an object of the invention to provide a sport court training assemblage of targets for assisting in striking or throwing a ball or object to a specific location; the invention may be used as a training device in squash, soccer, paddle tennis, badminton, volleyball, etc., to name but a few additional sports.
It is an object of the invention to provide improved elements and arrangements thereof in an apparatus for the purposes described which is safe, inexpensive, dependable and fully effective in accomplishing its intended purposes.
These and other objects of the present invention will become readily apparent upon further review of the following specification and drawings.
FIG. 1 is an environmental perspective view of a tennis court showing the placement of the five targeting panels of the sport court training target assembly on a tennis court during a drill session for doubles, with the instructor rearcourt and the students forecourt.
FIG. 2 is a plan view of a tennis court showing the placement of the five targeting panels of the sport court training target assembly.
FIG. 3 is a plan view of one of the D-shaped service targeting panels of the sport court training target assembly.
FIG. 4 is a plan view of one the two baseline panels.
Similar reference characters denote corresponding features consistently throughout the attached drawings.
The present invention is a two-dimensional sport court training targeting device 1, FIG. 1, which includes five targeting panels 2,3,4,5,6 (best seen in FIG. 2). In the preferred embodiment, three of the targeting panels 4,5,6 function as service targets 13 and are D-shaped, as shown in FIG. 3. In the preferred embodiment, the other two targeting panels 2,3 function as baseline targets 14, shown in FIG. 4. Each of the baseline targeting panels has two linear edges 26,26 that meet to form approximately a right angle 27 and a third edge that forms an arc 28, which is preferably a radial arc. Each of the five targeting panels has an upper and lower surface. On the upper surfaces of the panels are geometrically shaped indicia 16 and 17, 36 and 37, respectively, that indicate target zones (best appreciated in FIGS. 3 and 4). The outer indicia 16,36 represent a target for a well placed shot, whereas the inner indicia 17,37 represent a target for an ideal shot.
One fundamental difficulty with such panels 2,3,4,5,6, is maintaining their position on the sport court (i.e., tennis court). It is preferable to simply form the panels 2,3,4,5,6 from a flexible and durable, heavy-weight fabric which has an intrinsic weight that provides adequate stability for the panels while they remain on the court. One such heavy-weight fabric is a PVC coated nylon fabric having a weight of approximately 40 ounces per square yard.(available from Seaman Corporation, Wooster, Ohio). Use of the heavy-weight fabric is desirable and preferred because the fabric provides a uniform surface that allows balls which strike the panels to bounce true (i.e., with an expected trajectory and response). An alternative method for maintaining the position of the panels is to utilize additional weights in conjunction with a light-weight film or fabric. Such weights (not shown) or other weighting means (i.e., sand, etc.) may be placed within pockets (not shown) formed in .the lower surface of each panel, within a bead formed along the edge of each panel, or elsewhere on the panels. While the use of such weights has proven to be effective in maintaining the position of the panels 2,3,4,5,6 in windy weather or when the panels are struck repeatedly with tennis balls, the weights cause balls which strike the panels to hop or skip with an unexpected trajectory.
FIG. 3 shows both alignment and target zone indicia of the three D-shaped service targeting panels 13. A linear shaped area of uniform shading 18, which facilitates alignment and placement of the D-shaped service targeting panels 13 on either a portion of the service line 19, or a portion of the midline 9 on a tennis or similar sport court (shown in FIG. 2). Also on the upper surface of the D-shaped service targeting panels 13 are two geometrically shaped regions 16,17 each of uniform shading for indicating a targeting zone.
FIG. 4 shows the target zone indicia on the baseline targeting panels 14. On the upper surface of the baseline targeting panels are two geometrically shaped regions 36,37, each of uniform shading for indicating a targeting zone.
FIGS. 1 and 2 show the preferred method of placement of the five targeting panels 2,3,4,5,6 of the tennis target assembly on a court. A baseline targeting panel 3 and another complementary baseline targeting panel 2 are placed at the intersections 24,24 of the baseline 20 with the singles service lines 7,7 (or on the doubles sidelines 8,8). The D-shaped service targeting panels 4,5,6 are placed at the following locations: 1) the intersection 23 of the midline 9 with the service line 19; and 2) at the intersections 22,22, of the singles sidelines 7,7 (or on the doubles sidelines 8,8) with the service line 19. FIG. 1 shows the players 11 on the court during a drill session with the instructor 12 in the backcourt 10.
By now, it is readily appreciated that the teachings of the instant invention may be applied to virtually any sport having a court or like playing surface, where it is desirable to develop the skill of striking or throwing a ball or other object to a specific location; e.g., soccer, racquetball squash, badminton, volleyball, paddle tennis, etc.
It is to be understood that the present invention is not limited to the embodiments described above, but encompasses any and all embodiments within the scope of the following claims.

I have played PS 2 for 64 a long time ago so I'm pulling this all from memory. Its been like 10 years since I've played it lol
I'm not 100% sure if this is what I did but I believe that I traded/bred pokemon in one of my Gameboy games (Silver Version I think it was) to get the babies to meet the lvl 5 requirement and then spent a bunch of money on TMs if the baby pokemon didn't have the moves I wanted. I know one of the pokemon I used was Pichu.
I then attached that game to my 64 and registered my lvl 5 pokemon onto my PS 2 so I could use them.
I don't have a certain team that I like. I prefer to use pokemon that are my favorites unless they don't meet the type match ups that I need. I normally try to have at least 1 grass, fire, and water types or pokemon that can use those type of abilities
