Virginia Court Overturns Order That Restored Voting Rights To Felons
The Virginia Supreme Court has ruled that Gov. Terry McAuliffe doesn't have the authority for a blanket restoration of voting rights to the state's felons.
McAuliffe had issued a sweeping executive order in April that affected 206,000 ex-offenders in the state.
In a 4-3 ruling, the state's justices said under the state constitution, McAuliffe didn't have the authority for such a proclamation.
Comic-Con Has Become Poké-Con
This year at San Diego Comic-Con, one of the biggest phenomena isn't just inside the convention center, it's all around. Yes, there are billboards and installations trumpeting things like Doctor Strange and Fear the Walking Dead.

A rape survivor is suing Texas' Harris County after she was jailed for more than a month and subjected to beatings and "psychological torture."

Trump Cited My Work In His Speech — But He Missed The Point
It's not often — if ever — that presidential nominees use footnotes in their acceptance speeches.
But last night, Donald Trump used 282 of them in the written version of his acceptance speech — to bolster what he promised would be a presentation of the "facts plainly and honestly." I was footnote number 145.
Trump told the Republican audience that if they wanted to hear "the corporate spin, the carefully-crafted lies and the media myths" they should go to the Democratic convention.
Now Russia's Paralympic Athletes May Be Banned Amid Signs Of Doping
The entire Russian Paralympic team is facing a possible ban from the upcoming Summer Games in Brazil because of signs of widespread drug violations among Russian disabled athletes, the sports' governing body said Friday.

Analon Professional Anodised Saucepans,
This review is from: Anolon Professional 5 Piece Pan Set (Kitchen & Home)
These saucepans are great. They look classy & they wash up really well with minimum ease. The only thing I don't like about them is the saucepan lid handles get very hot. I have to remember to use a cloth to remove them. Otherwise they were an excellent choice.

My wife and I will be travelling in the south in May.
One of our stops is Vicksburg before we go on to New Orleans. Although the drive does not look too far, we would like to stop off somewhere on the way for a night.
Can anyone recommend a nice town, city along the way? We are from the other side of the pond as it were and are looking for a smallish town somewhere, with a good southern flavour. Somewhere like the town in the show "True Blood" if such places exist!
Many thanks for any ideas

Rick Scott Declares March 16 "Save the Florida Panther Day"
Last year was a record year for Florida Panther deaths (26), which is a bummer.
But the good news is that they've been getting it on with hot Texas pumas and making baby panthers.
Then, on March 6, Gov. Rick Scott declared that the state would have a "Save the Florida Panther Day."
Saturday is that day.

"It is proper and fitting for all Floridians to pause and reflect on the plight of the Florida panther," Scott said in a statement. "The task of preserving this rare component of Florida's diverse natural resources as a legacy to generations of Floridians yet to come."
According to the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission, there are 100 to 160 adult panthers roaming the Florida wild, south of the Caloosahatchee River and Lake Okeechobee.
The sale of the popular Florida panther license plate has helped fund research and protection efforts.
The FWC and U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service officials say the population has risen in the past two decades, thanks mostly to conservation efforts by private landowners, state and federal land managers, and, as pointed out above, panthers having themselves hot dates with other panthers.
Now, thanks to Scott, March 16, 2013, is "Save the Florida Panther Day."
Now if we can stop building roads and/or stop running them over with our cars, that would be terrific.

'Pitch Perfect' has humor, harmony to outstrip 'Glee'
New DVD releases range from singing competitions to a sci-fi remake.
• "Pitch Perfect," Grade B-plus: A college student (Anna Kendrick) finds herself hanging with the wrong crowd.
This movie about college a cappella groups isn't sharp or flat. The script and cast are in such harmony in "Pitch Perfect," it is definitely a "Glee"-ful hit. It would have been very easy to tune out "Pitch Perfect" after so many seasons of "Glee." But from the always dependable acting of Kendrick to the in-sync direction of Jason Moore, this production is a comedy octave higher than any episode of the TV series.
As an added bonus, John Michael Higgins and Elizabeth Banks are hilarious as former a cappella singers who now do the announcing and color commentary for the competition telecasts. Banks is particularly funny with a delivery that's so deadpan it masks just how inappropriate her comments are. There hasn't been such a funny commentary team since "Best in Show."
• "Total Recall," Grade B: A man tries to deal with an identity crisis.
Director Len Wiseman, the master of the "Underworld" movies and actress Kate Beckinsale's husband, has shifted the film focus away from the psychological elements for a more physical approach. Once the film starts, it is a white-knuckle thrill ride that doesn't offer too many chances to breathe.
The film has its problems, and it can be nitpicked into obscurity. The main woe is the way Wiseman deals with the ambiguity of the story. Fact or fiction? He leans so heavily in one direction that it takes the pop out of the final scenes.
"Total Recall" isn't unforgettable, but it's the kind of movie you won't be sorry to see.
• "Trouble with the Curve," Grade C: An aging scout (Clint Eastwood) battles the new computerized baseball world.
This film is a by-the-numbers story of an aging professional baseball scout, played with cantankerous splendor by Clint Eastwood, and the daughter he's kept at a distance, played with perfect perkiness by Amy Adams. The movie thrives on the fastball pitches of aging, parenting and baseball, but it could have used a few change-ups to make it more interesting.
• "House of Lies: The First Season," Grade A-minus: The cable series based on the best-selling book by Martin Kihn is a wicked and wonderful behind-the-scenes look at the world of management consultants. Don Cheadle plays the head of the team, a man who can masterfully spin any story.
The second season debuts Jan. 13 on Showtime.
Also new on DVD this week:
"Blue Lagoon: The Awakening": Made-for-cable film starring Indiana Evans.

Stowaway cat survives plane ride in suitcase
An Ohio woman travels to Florida for a Disney vacation and brings along an uninvited guest. (Sept. 14)
DR.Billy: It baffles me on how our "great" country always looks down at places like China & N.Korea for their continuous media propaganda machines but yet we are just as bad if not worse since we as Americans are supposed to be more "informed" in our factual media knowledge. You have to look no farther than this very one sided media assault on Trump vs pro Clinton reporting to get a clue on who is actually steering the American voter to one side.

Stayed in this wonderful hotel together with a package daytour to Misibis bay (her sister hotel). We stayed in the Junior suite which was much bigger. My room was on the third floor which had a good view of the perfect volcano. Big was great and service of staff was very friendly. It also provide shuttle service to the airport which was close by. Breakfast was good. There was free wifi which was adequate. Since it is three story, there was no elevator. Swimming pool is not that accessible and there is no gym for the fitness buff. Stay was very comfortable and Mayon Volcano was a great sight to behold.

This application is a continuation of application Ser. No. 09/479,344, filed Jan. 7, 2000, now U.S. Pat. No. 6,164,671, and which is a continuation-in-part of application Ser. No. 09/226,838, filed Jan. 7, 1999, now U.S. Pat. No. 6,142,491 dated Nov. 7, 2000.
The present invention relates to a portable cart, for use in camping, hunting, search and rescue, and other outdoors activities.
Various carts exist for carrying canoes and small boats by hand. Other outdoors-oriented carts exist for carrying game. In addition, wheelbarrows and small carts are used for transporting gear at outdoors locations. However, none of the existing carts can be converted to a versatile portable cart which can interchangeably function as a portable canoe or boat cart which can be folded down and transported within the canoe or boat, as a game cart for transporting game over long, rough terrain, or as a gear cart, all of which can broken down into a carrying position, by hand or by back.
It is therefore an object of the present invention to provide a universally adaptable carrier cart.
It is also an object of the present invention to provide a cart for carrying canoes and small boats by hand.
It is also an object of the present invention to provide an outdoors-oriented cart for carrying game or injured parties.
It is yet another object of the present invention to provide a small cart with a well for transporting gear at outdoor locations.
It is also an object of the present invention to provide a versatile portable cart which can interchangeably function as a portable canoe or boat cart which can be folded down and transported within the canoe or boat, as a game cart for transporting game over long, rough terrain, or as a gear cart, all of which can be broken down into a carrying position, by hand or by back.
It is yet another object to provide a portable cart which is either backpackable or which can be carried by hand.
It is further another object to provide a portable search and rescue cart adapted to carry a stretcher or other carrier for an injured person such as what is referred to in the industry as a Stokes-type basket or other medical rescue equipment.
It is yet another object to provide a carrier for transporting military equipment and ordance.
It is yet another object to provide a cart-hauling clamp for pulling the portable cart behind a bicycle while resisting tipping over of the cart during directional change of the cart-hauling bicycle.
It is also an object of the present invention to improve over the disadvantages of the prior art.
In keeping with these objects and others which may be apparent, the present invention relates to a portable cart, for use in camping, hunting search and rescue operations and other outdoors activities for carrying canoes and small boats by hand. It may also carry game, injured parties or be used for transporting gear at outdoors locations. It is a versatile portable cart which can interchangeably function as a portable canoe or boat cart which can be folded down and transported within the canoe or boat, as a carry cart for transporting game or injured parties over long, rough terrain, or as a gear cart, all of which can be broken down into a carrying position, by hand or by back.
The portable cart is under thirty (30) pounds, preferably twenty two (22) to twenty eight (28) pounds, so that it can be carried by hand or within a backpack over rough terrain. It is collapsible, so that it can be disassembled and carried in a canoe or small boat, and then reassembled at another destination along the canoe or boat's journey.
To prevent flat tires, its wheels are preferably solid core tires which cannot get flat, with stainless steel bearings, over which the wheels rotate. A typical wheel has two press fit bearings adjacent to an integrally molded hub. While the typical wheel is about 2-3 inches wide, for transporting cargo or game on sand or granular terrain, the wheels may be wider, such as 4-6 inches in width.
For hardiness, the material of the structural frame components is preferably a lightweight but strong material, such as, for example, 60-61 T6 fully anodized aluminum, or stainless steel.
The portable cart can hold up to 500 pounds, and for manual pulling easily pulls 300 pounds. The portable cart is durable to carry heavy weight over rough terrain, such as rock-strewn dirt trails or sloping riverbank surfaces.
To carry a canoe or boat, two horizontal load supports optionally include support cushions upon which the canoe or boat rests. The position of the horizontal load supports can be varied to accommodate various widths of the canoe or boat.
To function as a game or rescue cart, a frame, such as a pair of U-shaped rails which are joined end to end, is provided upon the horizontal load supports to form a rounded rectangular frame, over which a taunt, but slightly stretchable, bed of fabric is placed, such as canvas or other flexible material, i.e., plastic or netting. The bed includes sewn loops through which portions of the U-shaped rails of the frame are inserted. Other fabric fasteners such as clips, zippers or eyelets can be also used.
In an alternate embodiment, the boat support cushions are removable from the horizontal load supports and are replaced by a two piece clamp, which attaches by at least one fastener, such as a pair of screws, to the horizontal load supports of the cart. Conventional stretchers or personal rescue carriers, such as Stokes-type baskets, are clamped to the cart within the clamps on each respective horizontal load support. In this embodiment, the boat support cushions are attached to a thin plate, such as of ⅛ inch aluminum or otherwise, which has at least one fastener such as a pair of threaded studs, insertable with the respective hole or holes in the horizontal load supports, so that the boat support cushions can be removed and replaced by the stretcher-bearing clamps.
To function as a wagon cart with a well for carrying gear, a hollow fabric well, such as of canvas, is draped between said horizontal load members and over and around the front and rear U-shaped brackets. A cover may be provided to cover the gear therein. The well and cover can also be made of other suitable flexible materials, such as plastic, netting or canvas.
Kickstands may be optionally provided to stabilize the portable cart during rest or during loading of contents thereon.
In yet another embodiment, an anti-tipping bicycle attachment is provided to attach the cart to a bicycle while preventing the cart from turning over during transportation.
Furthermore, the cart of the present invention can be disassembled and broken down for hand held or back pack transport and it can easily be assembled for its varied uses. Moreover, when a boat or canoe is carried, the cart has a precision balance feature that rotates the wheels to maintain the cart in a horizontal stable position.

As shown in the drawing FIGS. 1-20, the present invention is directed to foldable cart 1, for carrying a boat, such as a canoe, which can also function as a game cart or a wagon for carrying gear in outdoor field applications.
FIG. 1 shows cart 1 in a disassembled storage position with a pair of horizontal load support members 10 laid parallel adjacent to each other, supporting wheels 30 thereon. Wheels 30 are secured in place by a transverse connecting rod 31 through wheel hubs 30 a and by one or more load securing straps 50. Disassembled storage cart 1 is inserted within carry bag 120, which includes ledge 121 and fabric loops 122 for holding bracket members 60, 70 and handle 80 outside of carry bag 120.
To transport portable cart 1 by hand carry straps 124 a are attached to carry bag 120. Conversely as shown in FIG. 2, to transport portable cart 1 upon the back of a user, carry straps 124 are attached to carry bag 120, which supports portable cart 1 in a weight bearing manner, or else horizontal support members 10 are inverted to support portable cart 1 in a weight bearing manner, and carry bag 120 covers portable cart 1 in a non-weight bearing manner.
To be disassembled in a carry position, U-shaped brackets 60, 70, kickstand members 40, wheels 30 and axle members 32 are inversely attached to horizontal load supports 10 to comprise a folded manually transportable cart.
As shown in the exploded view of FIG. 3, in the storage position, cart 1 includes a pair of parallel, spaced apart inverted horizontal load support members 10. Support members 10 each have a front end 10 a and a rear end 10 b. The front and rear ends 10 a, 10 b each have at least one axially placed receptacle aperture 12 extending longitudinally within each load support member 10, for holding structural components therethrough in a storage position, such as axle members 32 for wheels 30. In this storage position, axle members 32 are also inserted within aperture of 33 of axle connector 34.
FIG. 3 also shows horizontal load support members 10 having preferably a generally upside down U-shaped configuration when viewed in cross-section, wherein a generally flat member 10 c has downwardly extending flanges 10 d, 10 e including one or more linearly extending slots 10 f for insertion of holding straps 50 therein.
While size may vary, support member 10 is preferably sixteen (16) inches long and two and a quarter (2.25) inches wide. Each flange 10 d, 10 e extends down about one (1) inch from flat member 10 c. Slots 10 f are preferably 2.125 inches wide and 0.1875 inches high, to accommodate straps 50, such as, for example, standard 2-inch wide fabric straps.
FIG. 3 also shows horizontal load support members 10 being respectively demountably attached to a pair of vertical struts 20, having apertures 21 and 22. FIG. 4 shows vertical struts 20 optionally having at least one small hole 22, such as kickstand receptacle aperture 22, for insertion of optional kickstand 40 therein. Kickstand 40 is secured in place by a fastener, such as nylon set screw 37. Set screws 37 also hold axle members 32 in the storage position through vertical struts 20.
Vertical struts 20 are preferably made from 1 ��2-inch solid bar stock anodized aluminum, or stainless steel. Vertical struts 20 are preferably about 10.25 inches long, 2 inches wide and 1 � inches in depth.
Also shown in FIG. 3, the plurality of larger holes 21, such as holes which are 0.765 or 1.625 inches in diameter, are located on a front side of vertical strut 20. Smaller hole 22 on the bottom accommodates kickstand 40, which is preferably a hollow aluminum tube of 0.75-inch diameter and 16 inches in length.
Larger holes 21 within vertical strut 20 are provided for weight reduction of portable cart 1.
On a side 23 transverse to the front 24 of each vertical strut 20, at a lower portion 20 a thereof, is provided a further hole 25 of about 1-inch in diameter for insertion of each axle member 32 therethrough. Hole 25 has a permanently affixed, bushing 26 therein, such as a PVC (polyvinyl chloride) bushing, to prevent wear and tear of each aluminum axle member 32 by the aluminum surface of hole 25.
As also shown in FIGS. 3, 4 and 6, each wheel 30 is demountably attached at an end, respectively, to a pair of axle members 32, with axle members 32 extending inwardly from and demountably attached to lower portion 20 a of said respective vertical struts 20, wherein axle members 32 are in a transverse relationship to horizontal load support members 10. Fasteners, 36, such as cotter pins, hold each wheel 30 upon each axle 32. Each axle member 32 is received within each hole 25, of each lower portion 20 a of each vertical strut 20. A compression groove 27 exists from the underside of vertical strut 20 to hole 25 and continues to further through hole 27 a, providing for compression of lower portion 20 a of vertical strut 20.
To accommodate cargo, such as watercraft of varying widths, the distance between vertical struts 20 can be varied along the axle length by loosening and tightening the tightening member 28 and moving vertical struts 20 laterally apart or towards each other along axle members 32.
Although optionally a one piece axle may be used (not shown), preferably the pair of axle members 32 are held in opposite axial orientation by straight rigid axle connector 34. Axle connector 34 has tightening member 35, and a pair of receptacles 33 at the respective two ends of axle connector 34, so that axle members 32 respectively extend outwardly from, and are demountably attached within, said axle connector receptacle bore 33.
While the axle may be optionally a one-piece axle (not shown), preferably the pair of connected oppositely extending axle members 32 form an axle for wheels 30.
Each axle member 32 is made of solid round stock of anodized aluminum or stainless steel, approximately 0.75 inches in diameter. At the wheel-supporting end 32 a, the diameter is about 0.59 inches in diameter with shoulders 32 b of about 0.08 inches in height, transverse to the axis of axle member 32. These shoulders 32 b provide a resting surface to prevent axial movement of wheel 30 upon axle member 32.
As shown in FIG. 7, each wheel 30 rotates about press fit bearings 32 b, while each wheel 30 is positioned upon each respective axle member 32 of FIG. 8. As shown in FIG. 6, at the opposite end of one axle member 32, there is provided a hollow, threaded recess 32 c of about 0.75 inches deep, to accommodate a connecting threaded member 32 d of other axle member 32, to axially connect both axle members 32 together within axle connector 34, with a wheel 30 at each end.
FIGS. 8 and 9 show how axle connector 34 is compensated along groove 38, thereby locking axle members 32 within bushing 39, which is within receptacle bore 33 of axle connector 34, by tightening of tightening bolt 35 a of tightening member 35. Preferably bushing 39 is a PVC (polyvinyl chloride) bushing. Groove 38 is preferably {fraction (1/16)} to ⅛ inch, in width, which allows for the compression of axle connector 34 around axle members 32. Tightening bolt 35 a is inserted within a conventional receptacle which is a through hole at the proximal end and which is tapped with threaded grooves at the distal end, to allow for compression of axle connector 34.
FIGS. 4 and 6 also show at least one kickstand 40, preferably a pair, respectively extending horizontally rearward from each lower portion of vertical struts 20. Each kickstand member 40 extends rearwardly from the at least one kickstand receptacle aperture 22 of respective vertical struts 20 and each kickstand 40 is demountably attached within each respective kickstand receptacle aperture 22. Each kickstand member 40 is preferably contoured so as to contact the ground to stabilize portable cart 1 is a parked position of rest.
As shown in FIG. 5, to hold a canoe, game or cargo in place upon cart 1, one or more adjustable load-securing straps 50 are slidably attached to both respective horizontal load supports 10 in a transverse relationship to load supports 10. Straps 50 are preferably reinforced flexible canvas straps of about 2 inches in width.
To complete portable cart 1 as a canoe or boat cart, FIG. 4 shows support cushions 13 mounted upon respective horizontal load supports 10. Support cushions 13 are flexible, such as of rubber or foam, to support the weight of boat 2 thereon.
FIGS. 10 and 11 show the precision balancing of boat 2 upon cart 1, wherein the placement of boat 2 upon cart 1 causes cart 1 to rotate from a position of rest in FIG. 10 to a horizontal load position of FIG. 11, in the direction of the arrow.
FIGS. 12-17 show how to convert portable cart 1 into a game cart. FIGS. 18-20 show how to convert cart 1 into a cargo wagon with a hollow well. First, in either situation, carry frame 55 is secured to horizontal load supports 10. Although a one piece, generally rectangular frame (not shown) may be used, preferably frame 55 includes a pair of U-shaped brackets 60, 70 joinable together to form frame 55.
Alternatively a clamp maybe provided to horizontal load supports 10 to carry a frame of a discrete transportable carrier directly thereon, as disclosed hereinafter with respect to FIGS. 21-24. In that case, instead of the frame being integrally part of the portable chart, as in FIGS. 12-17, in FIGS. 21-24, the frame is clamped to the horizontal load supports 10 of portable cart 1.
Meanwhile further with respect to FIGS. 12-17, U-shaped front bracket 60 extends horizontally forward from front-end receptacle apertures 12 of horizontal load supports 10, wherein front bracket 60 is demountably attached within front-end receptacle apertures 12 at one end of horizontal load supports 10.
U-shaped rear bracket 70 extends horizontally rearward from oppositely positioned rear end receptacle apertures 12 of horizontal load supports 10 and rear bracket 70 is demountably attached within each oppositely positioned rear end receptacle aperture 12 of horizontal load supports 10.
FIG. 13 shows how frame 55 is secured to cart 1. Each distal end of U-shaped front bracket 60 is inserted through apertures in respective ends 10 b of horizontal supports 10 until each distal end engages a corresponding hole in each vertical support 20, where they are held in place by pins 29. Pins 29 engage lateral holes 18 in horizontal supports 10 and corresponding through holes 19 in distal ends of U shaped brackets 60. Likewise, each distal end of U-shaped rear bracket 70 is inserted through apertures in respective ends 10 a of horizontal supports 10 until each distal end engages a corresponding hole in each vertical support 20, where it is also held in place by a pin 29. Pins 29 engage lateral holes 18 in horizontal supports 10 and corresponding through holes 19 in distal ends of U shaped brackets 60, 70 of frame 55.
U-shaped brackets 60, 70 are preferably of hollow, anodized aluminum tubing of about 0.75 inches in diameter. The length of each distally extending side member thereof is about 23.50 inches and the width of the cross bar connecting the distal side members is about 21.63 inches. About 0.75 inches from each distal end is a scoring, to accommodate a clamp thereon, to form frame 55.
As shown in FIGS. 12 and 15 for pulling or pushing game or cargo upon portable cart 1, handle 80 extends rearwardly at an upward angle from joints 71 of either U-shaped rear bracket 70 for pushing portable cart 1, or from front U-shaped bracket 60 for pulling portable cart 1 (not shown). Furthermore, handle 80 may be permanently attached to either U-shaped bracket 60 or 70, or handle 80 may be removable and demountably attached to either front U-shaped bracket 60 or rear U-shaped bracket 70. Handle 80 has preferably two aluminum tubing connecting members about 22.5 inches in length, connected by a hand accommodating transverse bar of solid aluminum, and is 17.5 inches in width. Handle 80 includes connectors 81, having distal sleeves, such as PVC (polyvinyl chloride) sleeves 82, permanently affixed thereto, which are insertable within joints 71 by locking member 72, having threaded member 72 a which passes through bore 71 a of joint 71 and bore 81 a of handle 80. Compression groove 73 exists in joint 71, providing compression of joint 71.
Handle 80 may optionally have an auxiliary extension member and clamp (not shown), so that it can be attached to the rear frame of a bicycle (not shown), to pull portable cart 1.
To carry game 3, as shown in FIG. 17, or to carry an injured person in a rescue operation, FIG. 12 shows portable cart 1 having fabric stretcher 100 stretched tautly between horizontal load members 10 and preferably mounted over and around front and rear U-shaped brackets 60 and 70 of frame 55, by threading brackets 60, 70 through fasteners such as sewn-in loops 102 of fabric stretcher 100, which may alternatively be made of plastic or other taut load bearing material. Other types of fasteners can be used. For example, FIG. 14 shows that loop 102 a is openable, and closed by fastener, such as zipper fastener 102 b.
As also shown in FIG. 12, handle 80 may include a pair of posts extending obliquely off of a horizontal axis of portable cart 1, wherein a head rest cushion extends between the posts to support the head and neck of an injured person being transported upon stretcher 100.
FIGS. 18-20 show that to carry cargo, hollow fabric cargo well 110 is attached in the same manner to frame 55. Hollow cargo well 110 may also alternatively be made of plastic or other taut load bearing material, and covered by cover 112. FIGS. 18 and 19 also show wider wheels 130 for use on sand or granular terrain.
Assembly and Disassembly
For making a canoe cart from the disassembled portable cart 1, wheel retaining members, such as cotter pins 36, are taken out of axle members 32 in their stored position, and wheels 30 come out. Axle members 32 are then removed from between vertical struts 20. The axle members 32 are then clamped in a horizontal use position into receptacles 33 of rigid axle connector 34. Axle members are inserted between vertical struts 20 and locked in place. Wheels 30 are placed upon axle members 32 and secured by cotter pins 36. Kickstand 40 is loosened from its rest position and placed in place in receptacles within vertical struts 20. Canoe supporting cushions 13 are installed upon horizontal load supports 10 to support a canoe or boat thereupon. Straps 50 hold the canoe or boat installed upon cushions 13 in a secure transportable position.
To convert portable cart 1 into a game cart or a rescue cart, kickstands 40 are removed and fabric stretcher 100 is installed on U-shaped frame members 60, 70 of frame 55 frames by fasteners such as sewn loops 102 thereof. U-shaped frame members 60, 70 are placed on horizontal load supports 10, and kickstand members 40 are installed as braces for fabric stretcher 100. Straps 50 are then installed to securely hold game or an injured party upon stretcher 100. Then handle 80 is installed upon U-shaped bracket 60 or 70 of frame 55 to pull or push portable cart 1.
To convert portable cart 1 into a wagon to haul cargo, fabric stretcher 100 is removed and hollow well 110 is installed over U-shaped members 60, 70 of frame 55.
To make the portable chart 1 portable again, the components are disassembled in reverse into bag 120. Strap or straps 50 are used as a carry handle or for backpack shoulder loops.
As shown in FIGS. 21-24, to convert portable cart 1 to a disabled person-bearing transportable carrier cart for search and rescue operations, support cushions 13 are removable from horizontal load supports 10 and replaced by clamping assembly 200, comprised of lower jaw 202, and upper jaw 204, each having longitudinally extending recesses 206 and 208 therein to grip perimeter frame rails of a load supporting transportable carrier, such as stretcher 230 therebetween as shown in FIG. 23.
Lower jaw 202 of clamping assembly 200 includes an engaging surface 210 with threaded studs 212 which are inserted into through-holes 214 of load supports 10, and permanently locked with nuts 216. Upper jaw 204 is provided with a pair of oblong through-slots, 218, to allow upper jaw 204 to slide on upper surface of lower jaw 202, when threaded T-handles 220 are loosened. As shown by the arrows in FIG. 22 this sliding action allows for quick removal of any stretcher frame rail secured between jaw assembly 200.
FIGS. 23 and 24 are perspective views of a typical stretcher 230, and a Stokes-type rescue basket 240, securely clamped to portable cart 1 utilizing the previously described clamping assembly 200.
As shown in FIG. 25 in this embodiment, instead of being permanently attached to each horizontal load support 10, removable support cushion 13 is permanently attached to removable plate 302 with an adhesive 304. This cushion assembly is removably attachable by nuts 316 and threaded studs 312, to each horizontal load support 10.
FIG. 26 illustrates portable cart 1, outfitted with a plurality of racking assemblies 400,each comprising a rail clamp 410, an upstanding post 424, and a hanger clamp 430. Rack assembly 400, when used in conjunction with additional rack assemblies 400, allows for transportation and quick removal of essential hunting gear such as a chair stand 440, archery equipment 441, and rifle 442. Other related items such as knapsacks and bedrolls may be supported by rack assembly 400, as well. Rack assembly 400 is easily disassembled from cart 1 upon reaching a chosen destination, and the components are conveniently transported within cart 1's storage backpack, such as carry bag 120 shown in FIG. 1.
Also illustrated in FIG. 26 are stabilizing assemblies 450 and 460. Assembly 450 makes use of post 420, which is friction-fit into an inverted rail clamp 410. Assembly 460 comprises an inverted tubular sleeve 462, optionally permanently welded to the handle assembly crosspiece. Sleeve 462 accepts post 424 in a similar fashion to rail clamp 410. These assemblies 450 460 serve to brace the cart 1 when it is parked.
Turning to FIG. 27, which is highlighted in FIG. 26, an exploded perspective close-up detail view of rail clamp 410 is presented. Clamping block 411 is provided with a bore 412 to receive post 424, an attachment face 413 including a semi bore 414, and notch 415, and threaded bore 416. Plate 417 includes semi bore 418, through hole 419, and protruding rib 420.
As shown in FIG. 28, when threaded knob 422 is inserted into hole 419 of plate 417 and tightened into threaded bore 416 of block 411, clamping is achieved against frame member 60. Rib 420 is secured within notch 415 by a camming action in the direction of arrow "A".
FIG. 29 shows cantilevered hanger clamp 430, poised to slide down upstanding post 424. Hanger clamp 430 is provided with a bore 431 which is notched in a similar manner to clamping receptacles 71 of the handle assembly. The notch separates the body of hanger clamp 430 into two walls. Threaded knob 422 will compress the walls surrounding the notch, thereby tightening bore 431 around post 424. L-shaped region 432 is integrally formed with the body of the hanger clamp, and provides a strong an durable support for transporting hunting or other gear.
FIG. 30 is a perspective view of an anti-tipping linkage 500 which couples cart 1 to a bicycle. Linkage 500 counteracts cart roll-over caused by centrifugal force as the bicycle negotiates turns.
FIG. 31 illustrates the components of linkage 500. Bicycle seat-stem compression clamp 510 is formed of a body portion 511, and plate 512, fastened by screws 513. Bore 514 is angled so that clamp 510 remains perpendicular when installed on a typical bicycle seat-stem. Clamp 510 is provided with a bore 515 on rear face 516, which accepts a shaft 520. Pin 517 passes through clamp and fixes shaft 520 via a through-bore. Shaft 520 includes through-bore 522 at its distal end. Another through-bore 523 is provided slightly proximal of aperture 522. When shaft 520 is inserted into coil spring 530, hooked leg 531 of the spring will fit into bore 522. A sliding collar 524 will then extend over leg 531 to prevent pull-out, and a pin 526 will be fitted into collar hole 525, and into bore 523 of the shaft 520, thereby securing the collar to the shaft and preventing removal of the coil spring.
A shaft 540 is provided for the opposite end of coil spring 530. Hooked leg 532 fits into bore 542 of the shaft, and collar 544 slides over and is fixed by pin 546, fitted into collar hole 535 and shaft bore 543.
Support rails 550 and 551 are fixed to handle clamps 71 of cart 1. The rails are bent into an inverted V configuration, and permanently affixed to block 552. Block 552 is provided with bore 553, into which the free end of shaft 540 is fitted. Pin 555 is inserted into through bore 554 of block 552, and passes through bore 547 of shaft 540, creating the continuous, secure anti-tipping linkage 500 between cart 1 and a bicycle. It is understood that during maneuvers of the bicycle, there will be no problems associated with a typical universal or pivot joint; the coil spring will absorb and disperse any rotational stresses, and will react as a 360� "living hinge".
It is further noted that other modifications may be made to the present invention, without departing from the scope of the invention, as noted in the appended Claims.

Hidden fees are not acceptable. The hotel wanted to argue with my receipt which I printed from your confirmation, stating they were adding an additional fee. Perhaps you should speak to them about this. No acceptable. And they offer breakfast in too confining of a space, so if there are several parties coming at once, there is no where for them to sit. The cleaning staff are EXCELLENT.

A 64-year-old man was reportedly bashed with a plastic table leg at a bus stop in Swanley last week.
The victim is believed to have been struck on the leg with the object after he was approached from behind by two men at a bus stop next to the Total petrol station in London Road, between 5.30pm and 6pm on Thursday (July 17).
Afterwards the assailants snatched a bag out of victim's hand and ran across the road, towards Walnut Way.
The criminals were out of luck as the bag contained only an empty plastic box and was later recovered in the same area.
The victim, who suffered severe bruising to his right thigh, told police the object used in the attack was a 1.5ft long white plastic table leg.
He has described both the offenders as white, aged 20 to 30, having short hair and being of medium build and average height. They were both wearing shorts and jackets.
Call Detective Constable Ben Clatworthy on 01732 379145, quoting reference YY/14313/14.

Linda Forsell's Life A Blast takes a very human look at a troubled region
I am struggling to think of a single image I have seen in 2012 that I have enjoyed more than Linda Forsell's amazing shot of a man and a sheep on a Gaza beach. Digging a little deeper I found that it was one of several thoroughly engaging pictures from her new book Life's A Blast which which documents her trip to Israel and Palestine in 2010. The pictures range in how explicit the political overtones are but you feel that they are never too far from the surface even when the subject seems to be something entirely prosaic. It is testament to Linda's skill and sensitivity that she imbues this difficult subject with humanity and, at appropriate times, humour creating a series with a narrative power way beyond the sum of its parts.
Linda, who splits her time between New York and Stockholm, is no stranger to tough, complex ideas with a previous project focussing on domestic violence against women documented at www.causeofdeathwoman.com.

Oct 22 Activist investor Daniel Loeb's Third Point LLC said it took a stake in Nokia Oyj late in the third quarter ended Sept. 30.
Third Point said it "seized an opportunity to create new Nokia at a substantial discount to target value", following the Finnish phonemaker's decision to sell its devices and services business to Microsoft Corp.
"The company will have approximately 8 billion euros ($11 billion) cash when the transaction closes, and we expect a meaningful portion of the excess will be distributed to shareholders in coming quarters," Third Point said in its quarterly investor letter. ()
Nokia shares were up 1.4 percent at $7.25 on the New York Stock Exchange on Tuesday.

Twitter is getting an assist from the NBA to add two original programs to its live-stream offerings, but unlike its deal with the NFL, the social media platform won't be broadcasting actual games.
"We're excited about bringing live content to Twitter, which has proven to be an ideal destination for real-time sports conversations," NBA Commissioner Adam Silver said in a statement released by the companies. "We've seen technology bring fans closer to our game, teams and players in ways we could have only imagined a decade ago. This expanded partnership will help feed our fans' growing demand for the NBA by more deeply integrating the league across Twitter's many platforms."
As part of the deal, the number of NBA game highlights on Twitter will double from previous years, with ads to be sold against the clips. Highlights will also be showcased on Twitter's Vine video-sharing platform.

DanceOn, the multichannel network that's made Silento's "Watch Me (Whip/Nae Nae)" a viral sensation, is getting into the creativy agency business.
Shoe Carnival is bypassing the traditional creative agency for its back-to-school marketing and instead has tapped DanceOn for the "Show 'em Watcha Got" campaign, leaning on the digital programmer's trove of dance talent and access to established and up-and-coming music.
DanceOn handled everything from production to casting to providing the music for the campaign, which includes traditional TV spots, digital assets, print, in-store elements and a sweepstakes.

Netflix added nearly 1.7 million subscribers in the second quarter of 2016, falling short of its own forecasts as higher prices for some older customers spurred an increase in cancellations.
The company added 1.5 million new customers overseas, compared with an April projection of 2 million, CEO Reed Hastings said Monday in a statement posted on the company's website. Netflix also added 160,000 in the U.S., well below its prediction of about 500,000 new domestic customers.
The company's total reached 83.2 million, up from 65.6 million a year earlier. But the 1.7 million net additions were also well below the 3.3 million net additions a year ago.

In downtown Cleveland, where the Republican National Convention is being held this week, one thing you won't see is the Trump-Pence logo that was unveiled on Friday. Widely mocked for its perfunctory graphic design and penetrative positioning of the "T" in Trump and the "P" in Pence, the logo was quietly retired over the weekend. Political veteran and CNN commentator David Axelrod noticed it was MIA from a Trump-Pence press conference held on Saturday in New York:
Checking out podium at Trump-Pence announcement, seems the joint logo rolled out yesterday to the great amusement of many has been axed.

Digital publisher IBT Media on Monday announced a new executive management structure that represents a step back for Etienne Uzac, who co-founded the company in the mid-aughts with Johnathan Davis and has served as chief executive.
Dev Pragad, who began IBT Media's U.K. operation in 2009, and has served as CEO of IBT Media EMEA (Europe, the Middle East, and Africa), will now serve as chief executive for IBT Media North America as well. Mr. Uzac will move to a new role as chairman, handing off day-to-day management responsiblities in North America to Mr. Pragad. (Mr. Uzac's CEO post will remain vacant for now but may be filled in the future, according to a person familiar with the situation.)
"I am keenly interested in our international network, and will work closely with Dev and the rest of our leadership team as we develop plans for leveraging our global footprint," Mr. Uzac wrote in a staff memo describing the changes.

It seems like everyone is going live. Whether your dad is showing off his barbecue skills or BuzzFeed staffers are exploding a watermelon, real-time video has become the latest social medium of choice.
The norms are still taking shape, especially as Facebook and others assess how to handle recent unexpected, visceral content like Philando Castile's final moments after being shot by a police officer.
But the ability to connect so immediately and urgently will continue to attract users—and marketers trying to reach them.

Hosted by the Time Inc. magazine brand and presented by longtime sponsor Coca-Cola, the annual three-day cultural celebration is one of the largest live events of the year. Arriving shortly after doors opened July 1 at 10 a.m. at the massive Ernest N. Morial Convention Center, home to the festival's brand-friendly daytime events, photographer Will Widmer and I weren't quite sure where to start, or if words and pictures could even do it justice.
"This is pretty overwhelming," Mr. Widmer said. "Indeed, it is," I replied, wide-eyed with notepad and iPhone-turned-recorder in hand. The weight of it all made me want to return to my editor in New York with a five-word report: "You had to be there."

USA Network's critically acclaimed hacker drama "Mr. Robot" put up unspectacular ratings in its season two opener, averaging just 1.04 million viewers over the course of its 90-minute Wednesday night run, down 41% from the 1.75 million who tuned in for the year-ago series premiere.
While the overall audience took a big hit, the all-important demo results were much more stable. According to Nielsen live-plus-same-day data, the two-part "Mr. Robot" premiere delivered a 0.43 rating in USA's target demo, which works out to about 545,283 adults ages 18 to 49. That marks a 7% decline from the 583,326 demographically relevant viewers who tuned in for the June 2015 series opener.
Given the outsized presence "Mr. Robot" enjoys on social media and all the critical accolades it has garnered over its lifespan -- the show was nominated Thursday for six Emmy Awards, including nods for outstanding drama series and outstanding lead actor in a Drama Series -- the premiere deliveries were somewhat disappointing. That said, "Mr. Robot" should win back a good deal of commercial impressions in playback; in its first season, it established itself as USA's top-rated show by averaging a 0.7 rating in the C3 currency spanning a three-day period, up from a 0.5 in live-same-day.

"I don't know who created Pokémon Go," Hillary Clinton said on the campaign trail Thursday, "but I'm trying to figure out how we get them to have Pokémon go to the polls." You can watch her deliver that bit -- and grin at her own joke -- courtesy of CNBC:
Turns out Team Clinton has been thinking about Pokémon, because the events section of HillaryClinton.com currently lists a voter registration event at, yes, a PokéStop:

Many digital media businesses chase readers on the largest scale possible, all the better to attract advertisers that want to spread their messages widely. But big reach comes at a cost -- in quality, in resources -- that isn't always justified by the ad rates online.
Unfortunately the niche game isn't much easier, just as rife with competition and demands on limited resources. So it's good news for smaller publishers that Quartz, the Atlantic Media brand primarily dedicated to covering the global economy, seems to be on the cusp of making it work, at least according to a person familiar with the business.
Quartz is on pace to bring in more than $30 million in revenue this year, having already booked $25 million, the person said. It is selling high-polish display ads for a CPM, or cost per thousand impressions, above $60 range, as well as content marketing services and sponsorships of editorial products, according to the person, who was not authorized to discuss the brand's finances.

"Game of Thrones," HBO's epic fantasy series, was nominated for 23 Emmy awards, including best TV drama, propelling Time Warner's premium cable network to the front of the pack in the annual race for television's top honors.
Last year's winner for best drama, "Game of Thrones" will compete for the Emmy with "The Americans," "Better Call Saul," "Downton Abbey," "House of Cards," "Mr. Robot" and "Homeland," the Academy of Television Arts & Sciences said Thursday in Los Angeles.
HBO led with 94 nominations, FX scored 56, Netflix nabbed 54 and NBC netted 41, while ABC and CBS are each up for 35.

There's one often forgotten TV network that's been on the lips of media buyers during the annual upfront ad haggle, further showing the unusualness of this year's marketplace. That network is ION.
Typically an after-thought on advertisers' TV plans, the channel, which airs reruns of shows like "Law & Order: SVU," "Criminal Minds" and "Blue Bloods," is gaining some attention as media buyers look for outlets to place ad dollars as bigger cable channels command double-digit price hikes and turn away those who don't want to pay.
Perpetuating ratings declines meant there was less inventory for top tier cable networks such as NBC Universal's USA Network, FX Networks and Turner's TBS and TNT to sell. This tightening in supply, and relatively strong demand from the buy side, allowed these networks to have an upper-hand in negotiations.

Snapchat may start to see more brands paying up for location-based advertising campaigns on its photo-sharing mobile app, thanks to the efforts of another startup, Yext Inc.
Advertisers can already pay the social-media service to have branded geofilters -- a type of graphical overlay people can use to decorate photos or videos they're sharing -- to show up in the app in specific locations. To run these campaigns, companies have had to manually provide Snapchat with the exact geographical details of where they want the filters to appear and the dimensions of each space.
Yext, whose software helps businesses manage digital location data, has been working with Snapchat to make that process easier. The New York-based startup on Thursday is unveiling a new feature that lets clients give Snapchat all that information with a few taps.
