Jigglypuff (Wizards Promo 7)
Jigglypuff (Japanese: プリン Purin) is a Colorless-type Basic Pokémon card. It is one of the Wizards Black Star Promos.
Card text
Pokédex data
|Jigglypuff - Balloon Pokémon
|1'8" (0.5 m)
|12 lbs. (5.5 kg)
|Pokédex entry
|When its huge eyes light up, it sings a mysteriously soothing melody that lulls its enemies to sleep.
Release information
In Japan, this card, along with a Pikachu card, was first available as an insert with the November 1996 issue of CoroCoro Comic, released on October 15, 1996. It was later included as an insert with Easily Understand How to Play Pokémon Card (Asobikata Volume 1), released in November 1996. The prints are very similar to each other, with the CoroCoro version printed on glossy stock, and the Asobikata version printed on regular stock. An English version on regular Japanese card stock was available as an insert with the April 1999 issue of Bessatsu CoroCoro Comic, released in March 1999. This print features a grey star symbol with a yellow "PROMO" superimposed on it, similar to the black star promotional cards released outside Japan. The Japanese grey star symbol is also comparatively smaller than that of the black star symbol. The card was first released in English as part of a Pokémon the First Movie soundtrack promotion. A proof of purchase from the soundtrack had to be mailed in to receive the card.
The Japanese print released in CoroCoro, along with Pikachu, were the first Pokémon TCG cards released, available 5 days before the release of Expansion Pack on October 20, 1996.
Double-Edge is a move in the Pokémon games that Jigglypuff can learn.

Get back to me when you can also read the bit with a heat pulse.
Is this going to be a tracked head device like the drive heads we have now, or will it be more pseudorandom access (ie a line of static emitters laid across each side of each platter)?
If it's going to be the first one we've still got a slight problem in that it can only be above one bit at any given instant. With n emitters we can be above n bits and flip them simultaneously, but then we run into another problem: latent heat building inside the cabinet. It may well depend on emitter density, of course, but
The solution of problems is the most characteristic and peculiar sort of voluntary thinking. -- William James

Miami Fresh Faces in Fashion: We Wear Short Shorts
Miamians are well known for their love of the coochie-cutter shorts. And if you've kept abreast of couture fashion this season, you've noticed our favorite short-shorts are gracing the runways of Milan and Paris. Biters!
Gen Art, an organization dedicated to promoting and supporting emerging talents, will again lend our city a sense of style legitimacy by kicking off FASHIONmiami this week in the Design District. With the opening of high-end clothing stores such as Marni and Y-3 in the surrounding blocks, it's fitting that Miami's fashion events are migrating from the Beach to the Design District.
FASHIONmiami is four days of runway shows at the former DesignMiami space (NE 39th Street and First Court, Miami). Wednesday night's Fresh Faces in Fashion show kicks off the festivities, where waifs, draped in Miami- and New York-based clothing lines, will flash blue steel as they trounce down the catwalk.
This year's Fresh Faces showcase will feature fashion and accessory newbies Romina Heighes, By Smith, Lialia Fernando Carneiro, Rella Jewelry, Babette Epaulette, and B. Rawlings. Alumni designer Duskin will make an appearance, and Hills starlet Whitney Port will debut her Whitney Eve line in Miami.

Catch Fresh Faces this Wednesday at 8 p.m. for a cocktail reception, runway show, and afterparty. Tickets cost $45 to $75, with discounts for Gen Art members. Call 212-255-7300 or visit genart.org. FASHIONmiami runs March 10-14.

DJ Vadim, Abstract Rude, Yarah Bravo
DJ Vadim may get less attention these days than when he was cranking out abstract/breakbeat productions back in the '90s, but his music grows more interesting and globally minded with every release. After several solo instrumental hip-hop discs that aligned him with DJs Krush, Cam and Shadow, the Soviet-born, London-raised, Brooklyn-residing and ever-touring Vadim Peare started to hit the road a few years ago with a full band and MCs in tow. He's also toured as part of One Self, a collaborative hip-hop unit. More recently, Brazilian, West African and Indian textures began creeping into his tunes, but the most evident stylistic ingestion on his last release The Soundcatcher is that of Jamaican ragga and dub.

Tagline: "Earth will fall."
Better Tagline: "British accent = evil"
Not So Brief Plot Synopsis: Demoted for gross violation of the Prime Directive, James T. Kirk (Chris Pine) soon finds himself back in the captain's chair of the USS Enterprise, this time in pursuit of James Harrison (Benedict Cumberbatch), a rogue Federation special operative who's just blown the headquarters of Section 31, a top-secret Federation military intelligence agency. Kirk and crew are tasked with following Harrison to Qo'noS, the Klingon homeworld, and taking him out.
See It/Rent It/Skip It: See it, but set your frontal lobe to "idle."
"Critical" Analysis: When J.J. Abrams rebooted the Star Trek franchise in 2009, he didn't just kick off an alternate timeline that conveniently runs parallel to the universe created by Gene Roddenberry and populated by five TV series (six, if you count the animated one), ten movies and countless novels, he demonstrated what's lacking in that original vision: balls.
That's the only explanation for both the '09 movie and Star Trek Into Darkness, which make the original films look like the "before" guy in a "Low T" commercial. It's inconceivable now that an Enterprise mission wouldn't involve running phaser fights, hand-to-hand combat and widescreen space battles. When Spock (Zachary Quinto) indignantly points out the Enterprise is a scientific vessel, you want to laugh out loud. Tell it to the Talosians, nerd.
Granted, the Kirk of the Original Series was mostly renowned for being the first captain in Starfleet history to use his cock as a GPS, but unlike that captain, this Kirk has actually rubbed off on his crew. No longer prone to rage only in pon farr, Quinto's Spock is nearly as formidable as the genetically enhanced Harrison. Uhura (Zoe Saldana) has ditched the fan dance for head-to-head negotiations with Klingon raiders, and the formerly tubercular Bones (Karl Urban) is even more yoked than Kirk himself.
And where the old ST series (The Next Generation especially) at least waved their hands at plausibility, Star Trek Into Darkness shoves science's head in a toilet and flushes. I know how comforted I was to see a warp drive spacecraft could be kickstarted like a 1912 Buick, and we were treated to not one but *two* desperate uses of the fabled "manual override." It was almost disappointing we didn't at least get a "Code zero zero zero. Destruct. Zero."
Which isn't to say I didn't enjoy STID. It's fast-paced and not lacking for action or witty asides, but I think Abrams sort of tacked on the conflict the crew felt about embarking on what was essentially an assassination. Abrams also occasionally fell victim to Bryan Singer Syndrome: maybe giving us too many callbacks to a certain previous film (no spoilers; you'll know 'em when you see 'em), even if it was nice to see the Jefferies Tube again.
Star Trek Into Darkness is in theaters today. See it quick, I dinna ken if I can keep you spoiler free beyond that.

AUGUSTA, Ga. - Jordan Spieth realizes that he probably didn't look as if he was having fun Sunday on the back nine at the Masters as he fruitlessly tried to catch Bubba Watson.
But at 20 years old, and playing the Masters with a chance to win in his first time competing, you know he was having a blast.
"Whether my face showed it or not on the back nine, I was really enjoying myself and taking it all in," Spieth said after tying for second as a Masters rookie. "Certain shots, you want it so bad and so hard right when you strike it, and you know it's a little off-line. But when you walked up to each green, the standing ovation coming down the back nine is a feeling I won't forget."

I for one look forward even not even half way through the first game for a second one I think it could grow into a really good franchise if dealt with properly it's deep on so many levels and then it's down to earth you don't got special powers or super strong or deal with any kind of mystic force your just a writer trying to become a legend and show all the other writers you ain't no toy Getting up is a great game anyone who has thought about playing it and hasn't got a chance grab it rent it or whatever try it out i'm sure you enjoy it I did.

City lifts boil-water noticeStaff Report | August 25,2014The boil-water notice for the western part of Rutland's water system has been lifted.
Municipal water users west of Otter Creek were advised to boil water before drinking it Thursday after efforts to fight the Rutland Pluywood fire drew so heavily on the system that it created a negative pressure situation, which carries a risk of contamination.
As of Friday morning, three consecutive tests for contamination came back negative, and city officials said the water is certified as safe to consume.MORE IN This Just InKILLINGTON Police are waiting for the results of an autopsy of a 30-year-old woman who was... Full Story

NEW YORK — The U.S. Customs Service is investigating a smuggling incident in which $500 million worth of apparel entered the country through West Coast ports and evaded duties, according to an official with the service.
This story first appeared in the November 21, 2002 issue of WWD. Subscribe Today.
At a meeting Wednesday of the U.S. Association of Importers of Textiles & Apparel and the American Import Shippers' Association, Janet Labuda, director of Custom's Textile Enforcement and Operations division, said the agency had recently discovered a "major circumvention of our in-bond systems," a reference to the systems the service uses to collect tariffs on goods coming into the country.
She said the containers filled with smuggled goods entered the U.S. through Los Angeles ports with forged documents indicating they were to be shipped to Mexico or points south. Instead, they remained in the U.S., allowing the shippers to evade more than $60 million in duties.
Labuda declined to offer further information on the investigation. However, she said that as a result of the discovery, Customs would step up its focus on smuggling in the apparel industry. The agency, which is also charged with investigating trade-related issues like the illegal transshipment of imported goods through third-party nations — has seen its profile and responsibilities increase in the 14 months since the Sept. 11 attacks, which caused the federal government to rethink the risk posed by the thousands of cargo containers that enter the U.S. each year.
One of service's major apparel-related initiatives since then has been the Customs-Trade Partnership Against Terrorism, an effort to better track what is inside of cargo containers shipped to the U.S. to avoid the nightmarish scenario that could arise should terrorists use a cargo container to smuggle operatives or weapons of mass destruction into the country.
However, collecting duties is also a key responsibility of the agency, which is currently a part of the Treasury Department, but is expected to be merged into the upcoming Department of Homeland Security. Customs Commissioner Robert Bonner, who also spoke at the event, held at the Marriott Marquis Hotel in Manhattan, said about 45 percent of the $20 billion in duties collected each year comes from imports of textile and apparel products.

Puerto Rican singer Daddy Yankee will perform Thursday in Bogota during the benefit Match of the Stars, which will donate part of its box office to the Leo Messi Foundation, its representative said.
"I wanted to accompany Messi and the rest of the players who are getting behind this cause," the reggaeton star said about the project of the Argentine national team captain, considered the world's best soccer player over the past few years.
Daddy Yankee, the composer of songs like "Gasolina" and "Impacto," will sing during the halftime show at the exhibition game to be contested at Bogota's iconic El Campin stadium.
Part of the take of this friendly match will go to the Messi Foundation, which helps needy youngsters in Colombia.
"Colombia has given me a lot and we have to support every initiative that helps make sure that the different foundations sheltering poor boys and girls in Colombia can to keep caring for them," the artist said.
As part of his show, the Puerto Rican singer will premiere for the Colombian audience his new single "Pasarela" (Fashion Runway), as well as the hit "Lovumba," both included on his latest disc "Prestige," which goes on sale in late summer.
Basically the same lineup from the Match of the Stars, including the Argentines Messi and Javier Mascherano, Uruguayans Diego Forlan and Luis Suarez and the Colombian Radamel Falcao, will next face off in the World Soccer Masters Tour at Miami's Sun Life Stadium on Saturday, June 23. EFE

When it comes to the holiday season, ask any wife and mother what she needs most, and she'll tell you, "More time!" Yet this same busy lady will fill her Christmas gift list with elaborate hand-crafted gifts, requiring substantial outlays of cash, time and skill.
Result? She careens into mid-December either (1) working nightly until 1 a.m. to finish the lot or (2) substituting hurry-up last minute purchases for the unfinished gifts.
Handmade is great ... if you don't bite off more than you can chew (or sew, stamp or knit)! To reduce holiday crafting stress, get organized--and get realistic--when it comes to holiday crafts. Try these tips for a reality check for handmade Christmas goals:
While many of us hit the supermarket on the weekend--or when we've run out of milk--the National Supermarket Association recommends Wednesday as the best day to shop. Fewer shoppers and stocked shelves speed you out the door on Hump Day.

This is your resource to discuss support topics with your peers, and learn from each other.
I do not own a BB yet but thinking of buying a Style 9670 soon. It is still available in India and the phones here are not tied up to the service provider. My phone usage is minimal since it causes ear pain whenever I talk on a GSM/CDMA phone. So I use it on speaker phone or use the hands free headset but that is not always practical. I am looking for a phone that has the internal antenna farthest from the ear. Phones with lower SAR won't help. Using the cordless phone and wi-fi at home is ok but mobile phone radiation always casues pain and tinnitus when the phone is held directly to the ear, even for few seconds.
I believe that most Blackberry handsets have their cellular antenna at the bottom (near the mic) and the GPS/Bluetooth/Wi-fi antenna at the top? If this is true then it's good for me. Also, where exactly would be the cellular antenna in a flip phone? Is it there in the lower half (keyboard area) or the upper half (display area)?
The 9670 is a CDMA network only device, are you sure it will work on any carrier in India?
PIN: C0001B7B4 Display/Scan Bar Code
PIN: C0005A9AA Display/Scan Bar Code
We have 10 GSM carriers in 900 and 1800 MHz band and 2 CDMA carriers in 800 MHz band.
The CDMA handsets are unregistered out of the box and we have to approach the desired CDMA carrier to hook it up to their network.
If someone gets a Sprint / Verizon registered phone then it can be unlocked, their ESN / MEID marked as bad and re-registered with the Indian service provider. However in such cases the EVDO activation may not always work.
Below is an example of an unlocked phone offered on eBay India. Many phones that are discontinued elsewhere find their way here at half the price.
Good, just wanted to make sure you were of aware of the limitations.

A clever new device called Dimple looks like it could make the smartphone experience even easier in the near future, as it adds four physical (and customizable) buttons to any NFC-compatible smartphone device.
The device itself is deceptively simple, essentially an adhesive strip you attach to the back of your smartphone which offers four programmable buttons that you can tailor to launch apps or functions of your smartphone or tablet with a single tap.
Although there's no great hardship to navigating touch-screen menus through the Android interface, the ability to set one of Dimple's buttons to your camera, audio recorder or favourite games and apps could prove to be incredibly useful for heavy smartphone users.
As ingenius and all as the device is, it's not going to be compatible with every smartphone. Devices will need to feature a non-metallic rear as well as have NFC compatibility as standard. There's also the issue that using a protective cover could prevent Dimple from working correctly, but since we haven't had the chance to try one out yet, we can't report as to whether or not that's a real issue.
Potential issues aside, it's an incredibly smart device, and at a cost of just $29 when it launches in the summer (if you want to jump in early, you can pick it up for between $15-27 when its Indiegogo campaign starts on May 6th) it's definitely going to be something that'll appeal to plenty of phone owners!

1. Field of the Invention
The present invention generally relates to the field of computer accessories. More particularly, the present invention provides an adjustable tray that may be easily mounted to the arm of a chair to provide a flat working surface to support a computer mouse and other accessories, devices and objects.
2. Background Information
Computers are operated through the use of peripheral systems and devices such as the keyboard and the mouse. These devices enable a user to interact with a computer to input information, make decisions, and carry out various other functions. Direct physical contact with, and therefore close proximity to, these devices are essential to their operation.
However, in most circumstances a computer user works at a desk and leans forward or sideways from a comfortable sitting position to reach a keyboard or mouse on a desk or other flat surface. Reaching for the keyboard or the mouse in this way makes it very difficult to maintain proper posture and operate the computer comfortably. Use of a computer mouse on a desktop stresses the back, shoulder and the wrist. For wrist stress and carpal tunnel syndrome, numerous products, such as ergonomically shaped mice and wrist supports, attempt to address the symptoms of this stress without addressing the awkward positioning that often causes strain. Additionally, persons with debilitating injuries may find that reaching to a desk to use a keyboard and mouse is difficult or painful.
The physical stresses resulting from the awkward positioning and use of a mouse on a desk top may be remedied by mounting an adjustable platform to the left or right arm of a chair in order to facilitate the operation of a mouse or other input device as a natural extension of a person's arm from a comfortable seated position. An adjustable platform that can be quickly and efficiently mounted to the arm of a chair may facilitate comfortable use of a computer keyboard on a person's lap without reaching for the mouse, or use of the keyboard on the platform itself, further correcting the hunched forward position of many computer users.
Additional objects, advantages and novel features of the invention will be set forth in part in the description which follows and in part will become apparent to those skilled in the art upon examination of the following or may be learned by practice of the invention. The objects and advantages of the invention may be realized and attained by means of the instrumentalities and combinations particularly pointed out in the appended claims.
These and other objects of the present invention are accomplished by an adjustable mouse tray for use on the arm of a chair. As used herein, the adjustable armchair mouse tray is referred to simply as an adjustable tray. The adjustable tray includes a platform that provides a flat working surface particularly suited for operation of a computer mouse. The platform is rotatably fastened to a chair arm attachment body, which is adjustable to fit various styles, widths and lengths of chair arms.
The platform preferably has at least one slot defined within the platform through which the platform is fastened to the chair arm attachment body. The platform also preferably includes retaining elements around its perimeter to prevent devices from sliding off the platform, and mouse pad retainers to retain a mouse pad on the platform when the platform is rotated and stored to the side of the chair.
The main components of the chair arm attachment body are an armchair stop, parallel guides and compression elements. The armchair stop supports the platform for use and storage, and connects the platform to the parallel guides that mount on the arm of a chair. The armchair stop preferably defines a groove, cavity or interconnecting groove by which the armchair stop is pivotally connected by a rotational fastener to the platform through one of the slots in the platform. This interconnection allows the platform to slide and rotate within the horizontal plane for use, and within the vertical plane for storage of the platform to the side of a chair.
The chair arm attachment body includes parallel guides for allowing the adjustable tray to be mounted to the chair arm. The chair arm attachment body includes at least one compression element for securing the parallel guides to sides of the chair arm. The manner of compression presents various embodiments of the adjustable tray. In one embodiment, the parallel guides are slidably secured to the armchair stop by a widening rail allowing width adjustments for differently sized chair arms. Corresponding vertical guides are also slidably secured to the parallel guides by at least one lengthening rail for length adjustments. A bottom support element with a vertical slot is secured between the vertical guides for securing the adjustable holder against the bottom of a chair arm.
In another preferred embodiment, the adjustable tray does not incorporate the vertical guides or the widening rail and corresponding elements previously described. The parallel guides are slidably interconnected to the armchair stop and fixed therein and against the chair arm by at least one securing device. The securing device is preferably a strap with a buckle for easy attachment. In some versions of the strapped embodiment, the parallel guides may also be slidably connected to the armchair stop by a widening rail.
The adjustable tray is preferably adjustable to various sizes of chair arms. The adjustable tray may also include a mouse pad surface disposed on the platform and supported by the retaining elements and mouse pad retainers. Cushioning material may be used on the armchair stop, the plurality of parallel guides, the plurality of vertical guides and the bottom support member to prevent movement of the adjustable tray or marring of the chair during use.
The purpose of the foregoing Abstract is to enable the United States Patent and Trademark Office and the public generally, and especially the scientists, engineers, and practitioners in the art who are not familiar with patent or legal terms or phraseology, to determine quickly from a cursory inspection, the nature and essence of the technical disclosure of the application. The Abstract is neither intended to define the invention of the application, which is measured by the claims, nor is it intended to be limiting as to the scope of the invention in any way.
Still other objects and advantages of the present invention will become readily apparent to those skilled in this art from the following detailed description wherein only the preferred embodiments of the invention will be described and shown, simply by way of illustration of the best modes contemplated to manifest the invention. As will be realized, the invention is capable of modification in various obvious respects all without departing from the invention. Accordingly, the drawings and description of the preferred embodiments are to be regarded as illustrative in nature, and not as restrictive in nature.
While the invention is susceptible to various modifications and alternative constructions, certain illustrated embodiments thereof have been shown in the drawings and will be described below in detail. It should be understood, however, that there is no intention to limit the invention to the specific forms disclosed, but, on the contrary, the invention is to cover all modifications, alternative constructions, and equivalents falling within the spirit and scope of the invention as defined in the claims.
The present invention is an adjustable tray that may be mounted on various types of chair arms. Although as many different uses are available for the present invention as there are uses for chairs, the present invention will commonly be referenced as an adjustable tray.
The platform 12 and other parts of the adjustable tray 10 may be built or molded of any material that allows for strength and ease of use such as wood, plastic or other similar materials. In each preferred embodiment, the platform 12 incorporates multiple retaining elements 14, preferably located around the periphery of the platform 12, to allow a mouse, mouse pad surface or other device to be retained within the perimeter of the platform 12. The retaining elements 14 provide a boundary that prevents a mouse, writing utensil, notebook, personal digital assistant, cell phone or other device from falling off the platform 12. In each preferred embodiment, the retaining elements 14 may be placed on all sides of the platform 12 to assure that the mouse does not fall off any side of the platform.
A mouse pad or other similar material may be positioned on top of the platform 12 and configured to be easily replaced when worn out. The mouse pad used, which may be supported by the platform 12, is preferably similar to those used for basic stand-alone computer mouse pads, typically neoprene. Additionally, the mouse pad may be rubber, plastic or other material that facilitates the operation of a roller ball mouse, optical mouse or other similar computer-interfacing device. A mouse pad that is placed on the platform may be held in place by multiple mouse pad retainers 13. The mouse pad retainers 13 prevent a mouse pad inserted on the platform 12 from falling off when the adjustable tray 10 is placed in a stored or disengaged position. In one embodiment, the mouse pad retainers 13 are tabs that are placed in the corners of the platform 12 that secure the mouse pad between the mouse pad retainers 13 and the platform 12. In other embodiments, the mouse pad retainers 13 could be a molded part of the platform or clamps, tie downs, Velcro, snaps or other elements that could similarly maintain the correct positioning of the mouse pad on the platform 12.
The rotational fastener 20 is preferably ergonomically designed or covered so that it does not interfere with the user during use of devices on the adjustable tray 10. This may be accomplished by incorporating a rounded or other shape that allows it to be easily tightened while simultaneously maintaining the ergonomic features.
Multiple slots 16 defined within the platform 12 increase the adjustable tray's 10 ability to be adjusted allowing the platform 12 to be connected to a chair arm attachment body through either side of the platform 12 according to the user's preference. The multiple slots 16 also allow the platform 12 to slide and pivot horizontally from either of the slots 16 selected by the user providing a more ergonomic use of the adjustable tray 10. In one embodiment, the slots 16 are L-shaped and in yet another embodiment, the slots 16 are curved. The slots 16 may be any shape that allows the platform 12 to be rotated and slid into an ergonomically friendly orientation. The multiple slots 16 similarly facilitate the use of the adjustable tray 10 by right or left-handed users on either arm of a chair.
The inner stopper groove 23, as shown in
Because the outer stopper groove 21 and inner stopper groove 23 are disposed in the shape of a flattened arch, the adjustable tray 10 can be mounted to the arm of a chair from directly above and then the platform 12 can be rotated to the side for storage. As a result, a person may use the adjustable tray 10 with the platform horizontal and then rotate the platform and corresponding threaded fastener 20 within the outer stopper groove 21 so that the platform is in a vertical storage position. The transition is easily made by loosening the rotational threaded fastener 20 slightly, and then sliding the fastener 20 and connected platform within the outer stopper groove 21 from the horizontal plane to the vertical plane. In another embodiment, the armchair stop 22 defines only a single groove or cavity that allows a rotational fastener 20 to be similarly connected.
Returning again to the top view of
Connected to the ends of the parallel guides 24 are at least two vertical guides 26. Returning again to the perspective view of
The armchair stop 22, parallel guides 24, vertical guides 26 and bottom support element 32 are preferably lined with a cushioning material 34. The cushioning material 34 allows the parallel guides 24 and vertical guides 26, as well as the bottom support element 32 and armchair stop 22, to be tightened against the surface of a chair without scratching or other marring of the chair. This cushioning 34 also provides a non-slip surface that prevents movement during the use of the adjustable tray 10. The cushioning 34 may be any material such as rubber, plastic or cloth that prevents slippage and marring of the arm of the chair. In one preferred embodiment, the cushioning 34 is neoprene or other non-skid rubberized material used to form traditional stand-alone mouse pads.
The bottom support element 32 connection between the vertical guides 26 is width adjustable using a threaded fastener 30 allowing the adjustable tray 10 to be tightened against various widths of chair arms. The bottom support element 32 may incorporate threads to allow a single or multiple threaded fasteners 30 to support it.
In the preferred embodiment depicted in
Another embodiment of the strapped embodiment may include at least one strap slot in each parallel guide 24 in which to thread the securing strap(s) 42 to compress and secure the parallel guides 24 to the chair arm. The strap slots preferably run a substantial length of the parallel guides 24 allowing the securing straps 42 to be slid or moved to accommodate the configuration of the chair arm and particularly the support members. The securing strap 42 may be secured in many ways including being tied, buckled, secured with a Tabler buckle, Velcro, clips or other similar attachment means.
In the preferred embodiment, adjustable buckles 44 attached to the securing straps 42 allow the straps 42 to be positioned and then buckled and/or tightened to snugly fit the chair arm. As before, the parallel guides 24 may include cushioning material 34 for stabilization and to prevent scratching. The securing straps 42 allow similar functionality. The present embodiment provides the advantage of simplicity and allows the adjustable tray 10 to be quickly and easily mounted to the chair arm without much effort. The straps 42 allow the parallel guides 24 to be more evenly tightened along the length of the chair arm for better surface contact and adjustable tray 10 stability. Because the parallel guides 24 are open at the opposite end of the armchair stop 22, the adjustable tray 10 is easily positioned on the chair arm.
In an additional embodiment the parallel guides 24 may include tabs, loops or multiple slots positioned along the parallel guide 24 that would be used to accomplish the securing features of the strap slots 42 described above. In another preferred embodiment, the parallel guides 24 tighten against the chair arm by independent straps fastened about the adjustable tray 10.
While there is shown and described the present preferred embodiments of the invention, it is to be distinctly understood that this invention is not limited thereto but may be variously embodied to practice within the scope of the following claims. From the foregoing description, it will be apparent that various changes may be made without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention as defined by the following claims.

thanks for being so detailed and all the great pics...got our new mojo late last season and so far only boarding. Definitely plan to get into surfing this yr and looking at ballast upgrades now. My son works at a shop that can only get straightline and I have spent a good bit of time reading about the fly high bags and that seems like the way to go...did you also consider the L shaped bag to sit on the rear seats? Also, Mike at barefoot int. said that rather than the one bag system in the bow use 2 separate under each seat so you can just weight the side you are surfing on...
I have been doing some testing on mine, and i dont want to share it in this thread due to not wanting to mess up Drews thread.
I personally have found some different set ups im messing with. I took some video yesterday and will have to get it uploaded.
Also as fore the Straightline bags, there is no problem using them. I used them in my LSV and i actually have the 900s in the rear of my Mojo right now, while i am waiting on the 1100 to arrive.
I will share, in my Mojo it wants a TON litterally of nose weight. I was getting a much nicer, cleaner, wave with 1500+lbs in my bow then just the 500 center and 650 IBS.
As for dividing up the weight in the bow, i have been thinking of running the 2 450 bags in my bow to weight the nose more but i personally dont want to weight only 1 side of the nose.
Look for a thread on my Mojo surfing experiences comming soon.Malo <--- Means--Evil or Mean One. This explains a lot.

I had 3 objectives: good/great wave, no drilling holes in the boat & all hidden. So, I didn't consider the L shaped bag and I didn't/wouldn't consider splitting the front into a 2 bag system. I do wish the IBS was larger.Drew

New eCommerce Software Magento 0.6
California-based Varien has released a preview version of its Magento eCommerce software as Open Source.
Magento 0.6 is the first product to appear since the Web application vendor announced the new eCommerce platform in April 2007. Varien says that its new software is flexible, has scalable architecture, and facilitates the integration of third party applications.
Varien offers commercial support for the eCommerce software; an installation guide and a knowledge base are available on the website. Users can test the look&feel and management functionality in a demo shop and via screenshots. Developers advise against deploying the current version in production environments as far-reaching changes and extensions are planned. Varien CEO Roy Rubin launched a new community site parallel to the free Magento 0.6 version.
A second beta is planned for the fourth quarter of 2007, with a third beta to follow early in 2008. The developers have not announced a release date for the final version thus far. Magento 0.6 was released under Open Software License 3.0 and can be downloaded from the company website. The software vendor recommends Linux or any other Unix-compatible system with PHP and MySQL as the operating system platform.

Read an Excerpt
There was still light in the sky when they reached the space elevator, a taut, immensely strong cable anchored above the atmosphere near the equator. Through the small porthole of the pressurized capsule that carried them up, Zee could see the last of the sun's rays. Then they rose above the atmosphere and the light vanished, filling the porthole with dark space. Just above them was the object everyone on Earth believed was an Omuran spacecraft. In reality, it was H-Fax, the human fax facility that would destroy every cell in her body after copying its molecular data and sending it fifteen hundred years into the future.
David had warned her about the pain. "You'll only feel it for a moment," he'd said. "Then—nothing, until you're recombined."
The cold of space radiated through the glass, and Zee turned away. David took her hand in his and did not let go, even when the elevator floated to a stop and a digitized voice said, "Docking initiated."
The fluttery feeling in Zee's chest increased. She had officially left Earth. In less than an hour, the body and mind she inhabited would have died and been re-created somewhere in the distant future. What if she screamed when she felt the searing pain? What if the transmission went astray and she was lost forever? What if data was garbled and she got recombined in some horrible way?
Zee's pulse accelerated, even though David had assured her that accidents were "almost unheard of." He'd explained everything that would happen and promised that, despite the pain and discomfort of transmission, she would look and feel completely like herself. Zee hoped so. She was nervous about meeting David's parents, whom they were staying with for a few days before moving to the small apartment David had in central London. "I love you, Zee," David had assured her. "They'll love you too." But Zee wasn't so sure and didn't know what to expect. Worse, she didn't know what they'd expect. David had talked about his brother, Paul, a lot, and sometimes about his little sister, Fiona. But other than telling Zee he'd grown up in the suburbs of London and his father had once been a Time Fleeter, he'd said almost nothing about them. Had she already come between him and his family? Were they angry that he was bringing home someone from the distant past?
* * *
The digitized voice was speaking again. "Docking complete. You have now reached the H-Fax facility. Please pass through the scanners to your left, and have a successful journey home. If you are with us for the first time, please stop at the Medi-Booth for chipping."
The doors parted, and David led her into a large, round room that resembled a crowded hotel lobby. After passing through the scanners, Zee left David and headed for the softly radiating sign that said MEDI-BOOTH. Though David had told her they did transmissions in groups to conserve energy, Zee was surprised to see how many first-timers were in line with her, mostly women, but a few men as well.
As she waited her turn, she thought of the other things David had told her about New Earth. For months now, she had tried to envision the world she was about to enter, but it was impossible. Food that created itself. Computers that carried on conversations. Men and women willing to explore distant time zones, never quite certain of what they'd find. Zee was leaving her comfortable, familiar world behind, and she was uncertain of what she'd find, no matter how often David tried to describe it.
The line shifted forward, and suddenly she heard a familiar voice several people in front of her. Instantly, she was catapulted back to the empaths' lounge in the hospital where she'd trained and worked. Feelings of discomfort, rivalry, and confusion flooded her, though she couldn't immediately identify the voice. Without success, she craned to see over and around the people ahead of her.
You are nervous, she told herself, imagining there's someone you know here.
"Please, stop crowding me," the familiar voice said. "You're practically walking on my heels, and I don't fancy getting recombined with bruises on my heels!"
There was a slight disruption as the owner of the voice stepped quickly out of line and then back in. In that brief moment, Zee caught a quick flash of a profile.
Piper Simms! Piper, who'd been so jealous of Zee's empath skills she'd often gone out of her way to trip her up. And now she was time-jumping to New Earth!
Zee pulled quickly back into line, hoping Piper hadn't noticed her. Piper would be the only person she knew on New Earth besides David. But after all that lay between them, did she even want Piper to know she was there? Before Zee could decide, the line moved forward and Piper disappeared into the Medi-Booth.
Zee waited until, finally it was her turn in the Medi-Booth. A technician fired a microchip into the base of her skull with what looked like a power drill, but hurt far less than a drill would have. When she emerged, David was waiting for her, but Piper was nowhere in sight. Zee breathed a sigh of relief.
"Can you understand what I'm saying?" David asked.
Zee realized he was speaking the swift, whooshing language she'd heard him speak twice on Earth, once when he'd mistaken her for a fellow New Earther, and again to Mia, his research partner. Only now did she realize the language was English, spoken so rapidly words seemed to almost swallow one another.
"I understand," she said, surprised to hear herself speaking in the same rapid style. The chip wasn't just an identity tag, it would also help her make the transition to New Earth. The fact that she could both understand and speak New Earth English proved that it had already begun to interact with her brain.
"Pretty cool, huh? The chip picks up whatever language is being spoken around you and translates it both ways."
"It's amazing," Zee said, still getting used to the sound of her new voice. Then she noticed the air had a slight acrid quality to it, like someone was burning paper.
"What's that smell?" she asked.
"Oh, uh, yeah." David hesitated. "They started transmissions while you were getting chipped."
Zee realized the burning smell must be the residue of human cells. It made her feel a bit sick to think about, and she couldn't help wondering if she was inhaling a molecule of Piper.
"Come on," David said, taking her hand. "No sense waiting. Let's go."
He led her to a stairway she hadn't noticed before, a smooth fold in the wall that turned out to be a kind of glass escalator. Staring down through the glass, she couldn't see any machinery at all. The glass steps seemed to move upward of their own accord, depositing them in a large, circular room like the one below. Half of the room was ringed with what at first seemed to be a series of low, curving benches that disappeared into a larger, curving tube that encircled the other half of the room. Then she saw that the bench was slowly rotating, and that it wasn't a bench but a conveyor belt. People were lining up to lie down on it; each long seat was in fact a kind of cradle. Once they disappeared into the tube, people did not come out.
Zee was suddenly terrified. A cold chill gripped her stomach. "I—I don't know if I can do this."
He put his arms around her. "The first time is scary. This part is, anyway. The before part. The actual transmission isn't as bad as waiting for it."
Zee straightened her shoulders and looked straight into David's gray eyes. As always, the connection was there, that special spark, strong and immediate. "You're right. Let's go."
David got on the conveyor belt ahead of her. The idea of transmission and the pain it entailed still scared her, but knowing David had just gone through the same thing would make it easier.
"See you soon," David called back to her. "In about a millennium and a half."
It wasn't a great joke, but Zee smiled anyway. If anything went wrong, that was what she wanted David to remember: her smiling.
But nothing was going to go wrong, she told herself as she lay down on the conveyor. Everything was going to be fine. Still, her heart was beating hard and her chest felt tight. The belt inched forward slowly, an agonizing snail's crawl, giving her imagination time to envision all the things that might go wrong. What if she couldn't adapt to life on New Earth? What if she'd been wrong to think the love she and David shared was strong enough to bridge any gap?
After what seemed an eternity, she advanced into the dark tube. At first she could see nothing, and her only sensation was movement as the conveyor continued its slow crawl. Then she began to sense bursts of light exploding somewhere in the darkness ahead. She lifted her head for a better look, but before she could see anything, a domed glass shield lowered over her. Like the lid of coffin, Zee thought with a shudder. After a few moments, the shield began to glow with tiny pinpoints of light, like a night sky filled with more stars than anyone could count. Their light obscured the outline of the shield, and for a moment, Zee imagined they actually were stars, dancing millions of miles above her head. Maybe what she'd thought was a shield was actually a window. No, for the pinpoints began to pulsate, and their color changed from white to blue to violet. Zee gasped at the soothing, unexpected beauty of it.
Suddenly, the lights exploded and a searing pain ripped through her, so intense she couldn't breathe. But before she could register the full force of the pain or experience the panic of suffocation, her molecules crumbled into a handful of dust, were swept away by a burst of pressurized air, and the twenty-third century into which she'd been born went on without her.

Written on: 16/11/2013 by dfdstoy (1 review written)
The order was processed really promptly and delivered quickly.
BUT 2 X 15KG bags of dog food in 1 parcel is too heavy for me to handle.
I have a big problem with the courier - YODEL.
The parcel was supposed to be delivered to a neighbour if there was no reply.
1. YODEL did not leave it with a neighbour.
2. According to the tracking record the parcel was left in a safe place and a delivery card was deposited through my letter box.
3. YODEL left the parcel on the path in front of my front door in full view of all the street and did not leave a card.
4. As I don't use my front door, it was purely coincidence that for once I opened my front door and found the parcel after midnight.
The parcel was split down 4 of its 6 sides so anyone could have taken the contents without cutting open the parcel.
This is not the first time that I have had problems with YODEL whom I would not recommend to anyone.

Logitech Squeezebox
- Unbelievably easy to use, Excellent services through Squeezenetwork, Supports a great array of playable file types
- Unable to play music bought from the Apple iTunes store, On-screen interface is a little small
Bottom Line
This is, by far, the easiest media streamer we've used to date, and it's also one of the most powerful; an absolutely outstanding product for any music lover out there.
Price$ 499.00 (AUD)
When Slimdevices released its third iteration of the Squeezebox network media player in 2005, we instantly fell in love with it. It managed to be both the simplest and most effective device we'd seen at the time. So when the news came that Logitech was going to be taking over the Squeezebox, we couldn't help but feel a little worried. Fortunately, Logitech has not only managed to maintain the elegant functionality of the original, but has also added its own developments.
The basic concept of the Squeezebox remains the same - it's unbelievably simple. We were listening to Internet radio literally within five minutes of opening the box. Fifteen minutes later we had downloaded and installed the SlimServer software and began to stream our music straight to the player. The ease of use on this thing really is incredible; you can control it from either the back-end through SlimServer, or the internet-based SlimNetwork, or you can just use the remote control. Just plug it in to your current speakers, enter the details for your wired or wireless network, and you're ready to go.
This simplicity, however, doesn't mean that the Squeezebox is basic. It can play back a wide range file types, including rarer formats such as Ogg Vorbis, FLAC, and Apple and WMA lossless formats. The only major omission we discovered was the inability to play DRM (Digital Rights Management) encoded tracks downloaded from the Apple iTunes store. In the current environment of online music downloads, an area in which the iTunes store is immensely popular, this is a fairly large disadvantage for the Squeezebox, as iTunes store patrons won't be able to play music they've downloaded.
Apart from this, the Squeezebox is still the streaming powerhouse we remember. Sound quality is great, and we didn't notice any distortion or degradation whilst streaming music, although ultimately this will depend a lot on individual speakers, network setups and file types. One of the best features of the Squeezebox is SqueezeNetwork, which is a collection of online services that you can access, as long as your Squeezebox is hooked up to an Internet connection. SqueezeNetwork includes thousands of radio stations, the ability to control your Squeezebox online, and a nifty service called MP3 locker. For a small fee, you can upload as many MP3 files as you want to your locker, and stream then straight to your Squeezebox. This is probably one of the coolest features of SqueezeNetwork - you don't need to be connected to a computer. You can just connect the Squeezebox to a router with an Internet connection and play all your files that way. Never mind the convenience, the power-saving alone makes this a great feature.
Logitech has also taken the time to give the Squeezebox a quick design overhaul, with a new black case. Connection options on the back include optical, coaxial, analogue two-channel audio, and Ethernet. Our only complaint is that the front-panel screen is a little small, comprising of only a single line. This can be bothersome when scanning through the thousands of radio stations available online. Although you can jump to the first letter of the station name with the remote, you'll still need to cycle through over a hundred stations, at times, to find the one you want. Still, it's a very attractive unit, and should suit most audio systems very nicely.
Overall, Logitech's Squeezebox is a highly impressive product, retaining the excellent simplicity and power of the originals. While the inability to play iTunes store-bought music and the regional incompatibility of a few radio services are a bit more of a drawback these days, it nevertheless comes highly recommended for any music lover out there.
