I've been taking a much needed break from the computer and catching up on magazines and movies. But this morning I turned on my computer and got to digging around the Textile Museum of Canada's website. I've posted some things from the site before, but it really is a never ending source of inspiration and a good place to visit if you want to learn more about the history of textiles. This morning was all about blouses, collars, cloaks and coats.

Is La La Land the second-coming of 90s auteurism? Or just really good?

That's a pretty damn catchy slogan.... where can I sign up?
I guess I figure that if Ben Stiller and Mel Brooks can treat Hitler lightly, it's probably okay. He deserves no deference. I think it would've made him feel like more of a failure for us to laugh at him than to give his name some sort of wide berth befitting intimidation.

|Chilaquiles with queso fresco, cilantro and avocado. Yum!
Guys. That's kind of what chilaquiles is! Comfort food jackpot. So good, it's been known to ward off the gnarliest hangovers with its super healing powers. And guess what else? It is simple, cheap and often made from leftovers. Traditionally, all you do is toss day-old tortilla chips into a simmering pot of chile sauce and cook until slightly softened and full of flavor (think Mexi-dumplings), then top with whatever tasty bits you have on hand (cheese, eggs, meat, guacamole, sour cream, .etc) Throw an egg on top and it's breakfast. Eat it at night and it's dinner. Chilaquiles can't be confined to a specific time of day. I eat it for 11ses because I'm a hobbit.
Chipotle Chilaquiles
Inspired from a recipe by Rick Bayless
Inspired from a recipe by Rick Bayless
2 15oz cans fire roasted tomatoes
2 chipotle peppers in adobo sauce
1 1/2 tbsp coconut oil
large white onion, diced
3 cloves garlic, finely chopped
2 cups vegetable stock or water
12 6" corn tortillas, cut into quarters
Toppings (optional):
queso fresco, crumbled
fresh cilantro
green onions, chopped
sliced avocado
sour cream
fried egg
shredded chicken
ground beef or chorizo
To make the chips:
First, make tortilla chips in the oven. Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Arrange the quartered tortillas on two baking trays so that they don't overlap. Bake for 8-9 minutes until crispy, rotating pans half-way through. Remove from oven and set aside.
To make the sauce:
1. Place fire roasted tomatoes and adobo peppers in blender or food processor and blend until smooth.
2. In a large pot, heat oil over medium heat. Add onion to pan and cook until tender and slightly browned, about 6 minutes.
3. Add garlic and cook for one more minute.
4. Pour tomato mixture into pan, stir and bring to a simmer for about 5 minutes until slightly thickened.
5. Add stock or water and turn heat up to medium-high. Cook until sauce is boiling, then continue to boil for 2 more minutes so that the sauce thickens. Season with salt to taste. Remove pan from heat.
6. Gently stir in tortilla chips until they are well coated. Spoon chips into bowls and top with fixin's of your choosing.

One of the things that can take up a lot of our free time is finding accommodation. We prefer to have something booked before we hit a city so we can go and drop off our bags and relax after a day of travel. If the place sucks we spend the next day searching our new destination without our bags for something better. For our advance booking we rely a lot on one website, hostelbookers.com, for our needs. They have accurate user reviews from fellow backpackers and we've yet to have a bad experience when we've stayed at something with over an 80% approval rating. This is how we found the Alexander Hostel in Cairo.
Situated right downtown and only minutes from the Egyptian Museum, it's a great budget accommodation that we can recommend. Haitham and his crew took great care of us, offering lots of fantastic advice. They can also arrange any tours your interested in only with people and companies they trust. The rooms are pretty basic but clean, with AC and ensuite washrooms, which are a must in this heat!
With any hostel it's more than just the bed your sleeping on. It's how the place is ran and the staff that are there. This is why we can recommend this place if you're going to Cairo on a budget, and certainly to book through them for any tours. We could have booked our tours at many places but felt that if we booked through our accommodation, there would be some sort of recourse if something went wrong. Our pyramid tour was fantastic as we were taken to the destinations we wanted, the same guy that picked us up at the airport was our driver. Haitham's friend, Wes, was our private guide who was a wealth of amazing knowledge. Wes majored in Egyptology and tourism, complete with some of the best English we heard in Cairo. It was very easy to listen to him, learn lots, and ask many questions. Never once did we have to wait for other people, feel rushed, unable to hear, or not given a chance to ask questions. We feel if it wasn't for our private guide that day, our pyramid exploration 'would of ended more in sourness due to not being able to avoid pretty much all touts and scams.
Haitham also arranged for our White Desert tour and again insisted we would have a better time doing it private, which he was correct as we heard some horror stories from other people who did it with a group. We did encounter some problems with the tour operator in the White Desert, and one of the ladies who was with us booked over the internet for the cheapest price and was pretty much left high and dry. Soon as we got back to Alexander Hostel, Haitham was there waiting for us to hear what we thought about the trip. We told him we had a great time once we were in the desert with Iman, but then also told him about some of the problems we encountered with the tour operator trying to charge us for things that were supposed to be included. Without any hesitation, Haitham was on the phone yelling Arabic at the tour operator. After a couple minutes he hung up and refunded us a decent portion of the tour price, which more than covered the inconvenience we experienced.
So, if your heading to Cairo and want to be treated like Kings and Queens book yourself into the Alexander Hostel and say hello to Haitham for us! He'll warmly welcome you with some tea and give you the most honest advice you'll get in Cairo. Don't be threatened by this at all, he's not trying to scam you we promise!! =)

man And when the Tom Robinson band sang "Sing if you're glad to be gay" We all joined in, and though most of us weren't The song seemed to show us
through our darkest night He said He'd wait for us Just come to Jesus For anyone who's given up on God For those who've tripped and fallen out
out, reach out The only way is the way They've chosen, for us all So sacrifice yourself to make sure The bad bloodsuckers don't fall Reach out
just one thing gone wrong I might have joined that list of names And I cried for all who died there at the wall I recall weeping at the wall "Freedom
a story only time will tell; It's a book of all the words we're saying, Read by those who see us do as well. [Chorus] When it's all said and done,
at all And I would run away it I would not fall I joined the southern cavalry for fun And I had rode a thousand horses Always had a way with a gun
be out there laughing at us all Now you are only dust for art You're a shadow to recall For all those late night drinkers in their ragged lonely
He joined the habit with a chip on his shoulder. Some nights he'd proclaim his preference But only flat back drunk on a bottle of Jameson. One of those
Was it logical lusting after fame When ambition had never ended well for us? Now everything that you lost is surely coming to you Every
Postmortem warnings seem inclined to fail, Feigning an apology. Those words they never left your lips, Those 5 years in Bermuda slide by like the lights
the barn doors are open, the crossbar is hanging in the wind. So the devils sing tired, "Oh just look at what you're doing," Yeah, he's joined by a choir
and hope for the unseen You'll find peace amongst the tragedy Woe to those who hear not Woe to souls who've been bought Oh, it's written on the page
competitive to the bone Such tragedy to trample on each other with how much we've endured With the state this land is in You and me feel joined by only
just one thing gone wrong I might have joined that list of names And I cried for all who died there at the wall I recall weeping at the wall "Freedom
competitive to the bone Such tragedy to trample on each other With how much we've endured With the state this land is in You and me feel joined only by
Now first of all I gotta warn you before you fall in love with me This here kickin' out the footlights ain't all its cracked up to be Well, cheap
not do or say But I'm driven by a passion Is it only there to tame? It fills my heart and it calls my name and This world that you made for us I
You who live in heaven Hear the prayers of those of us who live on earth Who are afraid of being left by those we love And who get hardened by
for a mighty showdown No way our holy flag is gonna fall Up here we scrifice our children To feed the worn out dreams of yesterday And teach them
Fire in the sky Out of the blue and into the red depths Time for you and I To try to fall asleep In the bed they've made us All came crumbling
to the sound of the ocean Now I know us plain folks don't see all the story And I know this peace and love's just copping out And I guess these young boys dyin'
the story. And I know this peace and love's just copping out. And I guess these young boys dying in the ditches. Is just what being free is all about.
those security guards threw us out You know, I bet if we unraveled that sucker, It'd roll all the way down to Fargo, North Dakota 'Cause it's
can duck and run and get him out somehow What one good man will raise his hand And take one for the team How bout you nineteen? [Chorus]
money Can do things to your brain How does a shore boy like me Wind up out on the Black Sea Dropped out of Harvard Then joined the Coast Guard

Note: This topic is for discussing pushchairs. If you want to buy and sell pushchairs, please use our For Sale/Wanted boards. Please feel free to report buying and selling in this topic. Thanks, MNHQ
Seriously good off-road pushchair needed!(34 Posts)
I walk miles a week with a pushchair (I'm talking serious miles - 30 to 50) for exercise and relaxation at a fairly brisk pace and very occasional light brief jogging (e.g. if I'm late to pick up my oldest from school!!)
I recently moved to a much more rural area from London, and am having to come to terms with crappy pavements and kerbs but by far my toughest issue is the footpaths riddled with stones, mud and tree roots, and stiles. Plus the odd set of unavoidable steps especially at our local station when I want to travel further afield. And other such country obstacles!
I have a Phil & Teds Sport double right now, but it's bulky and prone to punctures and the front wheel keeps sticking (twists 90 degrees) on tree roots and rocks and so on. I'm not easily able to lift it either partly due to the shape rather than lack of strength although that is a factor too.
The intended passenger is my almost two year old son. Yes, he's old enough to walk, but he isn't going to be doing 12 miles at a brisk pace any time soon in the next few years!
I have been out of the pushchair market for YEARS. I know nothing these days. No particular budget in mind as I know you have to pay for decent quality.
Must haves:
- Really good at off-road, and I mean really good. Better than Phil & Ted's.
- Lightweight enough for me to carry it over stiles etc if necessary
- Robust and reliable
I've probably already ruled out every pushchair on the market with those three requirements but just in case, here's my "nice to haves":
- Tyres that don't puncture
- Facility to turn it into a double/twin P&T style
- Suitable for jogging with
- Not too wide
- Reasonable sized basket for carrying my clutter
- Foldable in one piece
If anyone thinks there might be something out there that would be a noticeable improvement on my (several years old, somewhat battered, a few thousand miles on the clock) Phil and Teds I'd love to hear about it!
Similarly if I may as well stick with the P&T, just say so too. I do have a Maclaren XT which is great for pavements etc but hopeless of course off-road. If only there was an off-road version of that at the same weight!
Thank you very much for your thoughts
I would be suggesting the Baby Jogger Summit. It has forever air wheels, so no punctures. Would be fab for running with. The wheels could be easily removed and thrown over a stile and put back on in seconds. The chassis itself is fairly small once the wheels are removed. Its the one I would want to be carrying!
Other than that, most of the rest have air tyres. The Nipper is great as long as you aren't tall and your child isn't tall. It is very light to push and lovely to use.
Look also at the BOB range - they have just arrived in the UK. I have a Revolution CE and its fab to push and use. The seat is huge with lots of leg room. They do doubles but not "add on" seats. They are easy to fold and light-ish to carry. I prefer carrying my BOB to my Nipper.
Look also at the TFK Joggster Twist. Fab pushchair with a huge seat and really thick padding for the child. There is an add on "buddy seat" for this pushchair, or a lie flat carrycot option. Its probably on the heavier side to carry over a stile.
If you fancy something a bit different, there is the Recaro Babyzen which has solid wheels, and folds down flat. Easy to slide through a gate lol
Tiggy beat me to it, I have a summit and I ask it to do all the things you need it to. I live on a farm in the frozen north and so ask it to push across frozen sheep sh*t, up and down steep hills and along very rocky paths. I adore it. It is simply amazing.
Mine is air wheels as its an older one, but I got one puncture at the start and nothing since, which is amazing given the punishment I've given it. And if you get to a stile you pop the wheels off, chuck them over the wall, pick it up by the grab handle and just carry it over. Its that easy.
I've taken it on holiday and on a train too, so its not antisocially large either.
Thank you! I might see if I can find somewhere that has a Baby Jogger to try out as well and see which one I prefer!
If you're anywhere near the frozen north you're welcome to come and try mine..
Alas I'm SE, but thank you for the offer!
I would agree with all the Nipper suggestions. I had the same dilemma; moved to the countryside with a bugaboo and soon realised i wasn't getting anywhere fast. I rented a nipper double for my two from irentstuff.co.uk and was convinced enough to buy one! The difference was just incredible. I was able to walk through fields, footpaths and some bits of beach!
Well, I bought the Nipper today and will be literally field-testing it tomorrow!! DH is unimpressed and muttering about space in the house, but he's not the one who uses a pushchair day in day out, well, last I checked it wasn't a job requirement
Glad you made a decision. Let us know how you get on.
Well, I'm pretty happy! It just about fits through some of the more "interesting" kissing gates we have locally that the Maclaren fitted through easily, so that was one of the main worries out the way. It goes very well along the often quite bumpy canal towpath. Haven't tried it out yet on narrow footpaths with treeroots (the straw that broke the camel's back with the P&T) but I can tell it will be a little easier.
DS seems happy with it at least! DD (4) tried to perch on the end when she got tired but he was having none of it and kept kicking her. Oh well, maybe in a few months!

text: The condition of South Carolina's roads have been a hot topic in the political arena in recent months. Few, if any, residents consider the states roads up to par. Everyone knows where to swerve to avoid the potholes on the way home and which roads to avoid all together. The SC Department of Transportation have given the roads a grade of "F" on condition with other groups giving a poor overall rating. Many legislatures in Columbia say raising the gas tax is the only way to pay for the huge expense, while others say the tax does not need to be raised. South Carolina's gas tax of 16 cents, one of the lowest in the nation, has not been raised since 1986 meaning it has not kept up with the rate of inflation. Our current gas tax generates about $550 million a year with only $450 million of that being used on roads. This makes up about 6-7% of the state budget. It is estimated over the next 20 years our state will be $29 billion short in funding to keep up with road repairs. The way payment for roads works, states pay for their full cost of repairs up front then are reimbursed about 80% from the federal government leaving the state only having to cover the remaining 20%. So by a state spending more of their money to fix roads, they will actually receive more money from the federal government. Ideas to fix the problem have been put out there. Raising the gas tax by 5 cents is an option. Some would like to see the gas tax raised, then a voucher system put in place to pay registered SC drivers to offset some of the cost of the tax and to put the burden on out of state drivers. Others still believe money can be taken from other places to pay for the shortfall. What would you like to see done? Send us your thoughts and ideas!

Well for starters what got my attention was the price, second quality hardware included and finally good welds on the spacers. Beats going to your local hardware store for bolts n washers, when everything is included for a smooth installation for trucks with rear lift blocks. Air bags are now properly convulated, instead of being stretched out without spacers.

Hi all, I have a problem when I start tomcat from inside eclipse with Sysdeo Tomcat plugin. When I start tomcat from terminal (I'm on linux), it is able to connect to postgres. If I start tomcat from eclipse using the plugin, postgres jdbc driver is throwing access denied. It tells me that tomcat is being started as a different user than allowed by postgres, I just don't know how to set this properly. Please help.

At the Louvre... thinking about my daughters. Traveling without them is tough, especially on days like today.
There is this kid's book Xian has been reading to me, Mary Pope Osborne's Magic Tree House, about this brother and sister, Jack and Annie who have this magic porthole in their backyard that allows them to time travel.
You see, the two kids just climb up the tree house that has magically appeared, open a book, and point to a page.
Then suddenly the tree house starts spinning, and Jack and Annie hold on, until it comes to rest in the amazon or in medieval times or with ninjas or in the time of dinosaurs. The books are awesome and simple and grow in complexity as the reader grows too.
The characters are different too. Annie is an pure adventurer... an adrenaline junkie who never thinks just jumps into trouble. Jack is a born journaler... he is always stuffing a book into his backpack and chasing off after his younger sister...
Who he is always trying to keep out of trouble.
I guess what I love about listening to my daughter read these books to me is that she is growing too, that she is learning that books can transport you to magic places in your mind.
Art does that to people, doesn't it?
As I backback through Europe, I find I have so little time to think. Just go and experience and see and go to the next place. I feel like I'm spinning just like Jack and Annie.
I need to rest. See. Think. We all do. A life can't be lived at this pace. Something will break.
So I go to the Louvre today, walk all day among the priceless pieces of art that have inspired and challenged and shaped our world. And then... well, I collapse into a cafe chair and breathe for the first time in days.

Original Air Date: November 27, 1986.
Written By: Cheri Eichen and Bill Steinkellner
Plot: Carla hosts a Thanksgiving dinner for all Cheers' "orphans" who have nowhere else to go. Chaos ensues.
Thoughts: Greatest Thanksgiving epsiode of any television show, ever. Leave it to Cheers to make a holiday dinner with friends into so much more than comfort food. This episode is thoroughly satisfying, with little twists and turns, surprises, and razor sharp writing that culminate in a grand melee at Carla's house. It is a veritable feast.
On the Sam and Diane front, there is no mention of the events of last episode (dammit)-- this is strictly lighter fare for them. Diane plans a Thanksgiving away from Sam, who has a date, much to her chagrin. She's upset about Sam sharing the holiday with someone else, but consoles herself with the knowledge that they'll have many more together in the future. Sam seems unaffected. Diane is spending Thanksgiving at her professor's house, a big honor for her, and she encourages all the lonelies at Cheers to celebrate together at Carla's, once more creating a family community amongst the gang. She's the one who cares if they're alone, and her bringing them together opens them up to each other.
Once at Carla's, the gang gathers to watch football and wrestling. Sam shows up solo and gets a huge delayed laugh when the audience realizes Sam suggested a threesome to his date when her sister showed up. Diane turns up too, having left her fancy party after being asked to serve. Sam is sweet and sympathetic, though he still keeps her at arm's length.
The gang grows impatient with the cook time for the turkey and so, hungry and left to their own devices, all hell breaks loose, despite Diane's best efforts to keep things civil. My favorite part is Diane's plea for detente, which is met by a fistful of cranberry sauce hurled impeccably by Mayday Malone. The food fight to end all food fight ensues and no one escapes unsullied. You can tell the cast is enjoying the hell out of this scene, and messy as it is, it looks like a lot of fun. When next we see them, they are happy and enjoying each other's company while toasting those who couldn't join them for dinner. Sam raises a glass to Coach, and it is a touching moment when everyone stands to clink glasses in his honor. It is indeed a family affair to remember.
The cherry on top of this culinary disaster is Vera's arrival, which is immediately defiled by Diane's revenge against Sam-- a rogue pumpkin pie to the face. After waiting so long to finally meet Vera, we are denied, though it should be noted that Vera is played by George Wendt's real-life wife, Bernadette Birkett. Ah well, some things are better left a mystery, I suppose, and Vera will continue to elude us.
Random: The food fight was done in one take. I hope there were enough showers backstage to accommodate everyone after the filming. This episode originally aired the same night as Knights of the Scimitar in a double-bill.
"Christmas comes earlier every year, doesn't it?" "I think if you check, Sam, it always comes on the twenty-fifth of December." "Frasier, you and I are of like mind." "Except one of us is kidding." "I know we'll have many holidays together when you and I are one." "You already are one, Diane." "This is my first Thanksgiving away from home. I mean, unless you count last year." "Wanna join us for some bird, Frasier?" "Could I?" "I don't know who's luckier: You because you get to go to that great party or us because you get to go to that great party." "Alright, Mighty Mouse!" "Her sister showed up from out of town and they didn't like my idea, so what the hell?" "I'm here with my friends, my support system, and there's no place I'd rather be." "I'm telling you the truth." "And I love you for it." "We are not here to be thankful for strange things we can do with our bodies!" "… Jean d'Arc, Shari Lewis and Lambchop." "The little pop thing has a name. It's called a thermometer!" "People people people people!!! Stop this immediately!!!" "Sam Malone, kiss your butt goodbye!" "Everybody, this is Vera."

Washington Redskins owner Dan Snyder takes a lot of heat from a lot of people these days, but his harshest critic might be John Riggins, a beloved former Redskins running back. These days, Riggins is a D.C. sports media personality, and he doesn't hold back on the topic of Snyder.
It's like Riggo saw this video of Daniel Snyder being just a tiny bit relatable, sensed that a few people didn't hate Snyder as much as they did before, and immediately wanted to rectify that. Riggins was on Showtime's "Inside the NFL" on Wednesday night and unleashed his coldest words yet. Here are some of Riggo's words, via Dan Steinberg at the Washington Post:
"...This is a bad guy that owns this team. I'll just tell you that upfront. Bad guy. And if the Commissioner is worried about potential new owners and saying some of these guys shouldn't apply, he might want to police his own inside guys..."
Cris Collinsworth tried to maybe easy Riggins in the direction of saying that Snyder is a bad GM instead of a bad person, but Riggins made it clear what he meant.
"Let me put it to you this way, Cris, this person's heart is dark."
His heart is dark. Not a lot of gray area there. It would be hard to say something worse about a person than, "His heart is dark."
To me, that means that this is a person trying to do evil. This is a person who wants to, or doesn't care about, hurting other people.. He's not misguided, he's not trying to do the right thing and failing, it's not his fault because his daddy didn't hug him enough as a child ... he's just a bad person who seeks to spread misery. His heart pumps not with warm, life-giving human blood, but a frigid, black bile that fuels his foul existence.
Is that about what you're saying, Riggo? Because that's how I interpret it, and it's a little messed up, my man.
After the relative peace of a bye week, the Redskins return on Sunday to play the Falcons in Atlanta.

Bud Selig: "No Predetermined Outcome" To Dodgers Inquiries
Published May 12, 2011
Former Rangers President and U.S. Ambassador Tom Schieffer continues to monitor the club, while MLB outside legal counsel Proskauer Rose is leading the investigation into the club's finances. Those efforts continue without a set timetable. McCourt, meeting face-to-face yesterday with Selig, sought again to convey the significant time urgency of his financial issues. But Selig said to reporters today only that he is proceeding "expeditiously." "Nobody is using the Dean Smith four-corner offense. We're trying to move as fast as possible."
Meanwhile, current Rangers President Nolan Ryan, as expected, was formally approved as the new designated control exec for the club, replacing the departed Chuck Greenberg. Selig, in the midst of praising the team's recent growth under Ryan, joked there was "intense debate on the vote for maybe 12 seconds."

Get On Purpose! Part 2
My comrades in Afghanistan and Iraq can attest to my daily practice sessions. I remember very clearly how my SSgt used to sit down every day at the start of my practice to crack jokes and laughingly 'motivate' me through it with various taunts and funny gestures. One time even saying it's like his "daily TV show". Random marines passing by would assist with various Bruce Lee-esk 'yaaaaow's and 'HA-CHA's! At times others would throw punches or kicks just out of distance. In the corps we have fun ways of motivating each other.
Regardless of outside resistances, I felt some good changes in my body. After taking off my gear from a patrol or standing post, I'd knock out some Arm Snakes. Many times I'd feel my spine correcting itself in the rotations. Other times practice of the Tai Chi form would ease my knee pain or ankle instabilities. This was just the beginning of revelations I would have in my practice.
One day when I was practicing my Temple Stances and Dragon Walks in the sands of Afghanistan it dawned on me, If I feel these amazing benefits, others could too! Furthermore, if I could find a way to help others through my Kung Fu practice I would have a career I would enjoy for the rest of my life!
When I returned from Afghanistan the search was on! How can I help others through Kung Fu??? Oriental Medicine was the answer. I started looking into various colleges and landed on Pacific College of Oriental Medicine. The only reason being that PCOM was the only one that offered an undergraduate program for anything in Oriental Medicine. It was an Oriental Massage program.
So after getting out of the USMC and staying in OH for a couple of months I packed my bags and went off to PCOM in Chicago... My girlfriend, at the time, moved in with me shortly after and I started my journey to becoming a family man and massage therapist.
Stay tuned for part 3 next week

This is a continuation-in-part of Ser. No. 110,867, now U.S. Pat. No. 4,793,818, filed Oct. 21, 1987.
The present invention pertains to a safety guard for mounting to an electrical outlet having one or more sockets. More particularly, the present invention relates to a safety guard for an electrical wall outlet designed to prevent access to such outlet when an electrical plug is not inserted.
Various types of protective covers for electrical outlets have been described in patent litterature.
For example, U.S. Pat. No. 4,605,270 issued Aug. 12, 1986 to Aslizadeh describes a protective cover for an electrical outlet that comprises a pair of slideable closure plates and a pair of coil spring-actuated blocking plates wherein both plates are positioned within the boundaries of the rectangular openings in the front wall of the cover.
Also, U.S. Pat. No. 3,068,442 issued Dec. 11, 1962 to Kubik et al. describes a safety guard of the type described which comprises a box-like enclosure dimensioned to fit over the face plate of a wall socket having a pair of vertically aligned sockets and a slide member mounted for sliding vertical movement within the enclosure. The safety guard further comprises upper and lower bars which are disposed in overlaying relationship to the socket openings. The slide member is moveable downwardly to move the bars away from the socket openings and bring free areas into alignment with the socket openings. Each bar, upon release of the slide member is held in downward position if a plug is inserted in its socket opening and is free for independant return movement to its normal position by the urging of the springs if no plug is inserted in its opening.
Both of these protective systems provide for spring-actuated blocking plates which are moveable to automatically cover the socket openings if a plug is removed from a socket. However, they are not fully protective in that most children will be able to master the sliding movement of the plates, either accidentally or through observation.
It is an object of the present invention to provide a safety guard of the type described which eliminates the possibility of an accidental or intentional opening of these blocking plates over socket openings, especially by children.
This is achieved by providing a combination of a cover and of closure means which are so structurally connected that, in order to expose the socket openings, two movements are required on the part of the user: a first being in a perpendicular direction to the plane of the cover; the second being in a direction parallel to the plane of the cover.
The present invention therefore relates to a safety guard for an electrical outlet that has one or more sockets which comprises:
a cover adapted to be mounted over the electrical outlet and having one or more openings allowing an electrical plug to be connectingly received in the socket; said cover having a top edge, a bottom edge and opposite side edges; flexible means integrally formed along said top and bottom edges, said flexible means including engaging means thereon;
closure means movably mounted to the cover to expose or to cover the openings; said closure means including a top wall adapted to lie over at least a portion of the top wall of said cover and a pair of opposite side walls adapted to lie adjacent and parallel to said side edges of said cover; ramp means on said top wall of said closure means adapted to ride on said flexible means of said cover and to lockingly contact said engaging means of said cover; said engaging means and said ramp means cooperating to require
two movements to displace the closure means from a socket-covering position to a socket exposing-position; and
resilient means connected between the cover and the closure means serving to bias the closure means to the socket-covering position as the closure means are moved to expose the openings.
Other objects and further scope of applicability of the present invention will become apparent from the detailed description given hereinafter. It should be understood, however, that this detailed description, while indicating preferred embodiments of the invention, is given by way of illustration only, since various changes and modifications within the spirit and scope of the invention will become apparent to those skilled in the art.
FIG. 1 is a front perspective view of a safety guard made in accordance with the present invention;
FIG. 2 is a front elevation of the cover of the safety guard shown in FIG. 1;
FIG. 3 is a side elevational view of the cover shown in FIG. 2;
FIG. 4 is an end view of the cover shown in FIG. 2;
FIG. 5 is a front elevation, partially cut away, of a closure element of the safety guard shown in FIG. 1;
FIG. 6 is a cross-sectional view taken along line 6--6 of FIG. 5;
FIG. 7 is a rear elevation of the safety guard shown in FIG. 1;
FIG. 8 is a cross-sectional view taken along line 8--8 of FIG. 7;
FIG. 9 is a cross-sectional taken along line 9--9 of FIG. 7;
FIG. 10 is a rear perspective view showing the cover of another embodiment of a safety guard made in accordance with the present invention;
FIG. 11 is a rear perspective view showing the closure elements of the embodiment illustrated in FIG. 10;
FIG. 12 is a rear elevational view of the assembled safety guard of FIGS. 10 and 11, showing the closure elements in the opened position; and
FIG. 13 is a side cross-sectioned view of the upper part of the safety guard shown in FIG. 12.
Referring to FIG. 1, one embodiment, generally denoted 10, of a safety guard for mounting to an electrical wall outlet (not shown) having one or more sockets 11 is shown.
The safety guard comprises a cover 12 to which is slideably mounted a pair of closure elements 14 and 16.
Referring to FIGS. 2, 3 and 4, the cover 12 comprises a rectangular unitary housing having a flat front wall 18 and a pair of lateraly opposing narrow side walls 20 and 22. The front wall 18 displays a pair of substantially similar openings 24 and 26; these openings are spaced apart by a central enlarged portion 28 integral with the rear face of the front wall and displaying a centrally disposed hole 30 to receive a screw (not shown) adapted to affix the cover 12 to a flat surface (in an upright position in the case of a conventional wall structure) in which is received a pair of sockets and a plate having a hole with which the hole 30 comes into registry.
The rear face of the front wall 18 has, in the central region thereof, a pair of studs 32 and 34, the function of which will be further described hereinbelow.
Each side wall 20, 22 of the cover displays, on the outer face thereof, a longitudinal groove 36 and a pair of opposite end recesses 38 and 40. Each recess 38, 40 is defined by an enlarged inner portion 38a, 40a, a constricted passage 38b, 40b and a tapering entrance portion 38c, 40c characterized by an inclined ramp 42, 44 respectively. The enlarged area 38a, 40a defines a stop wall 38d, 40d adjacent the constricted passage 38b, 40b.
Referring to FIGS. 5 and 6, each closure element 14, 16 is identical in shape and only closure element 14 will be described. It comprises a rectangular housing having a flat front wall 46, a pair of opposite side walls 48 and 50 and an end wall 52.
The inner face of each side wall 48, 50 comprises a pair of bosses 54 and 56. Boss 54 has a generally rectangular configuration with a width slightly smaller than the width of groove 36 on the cover 12. Boss 56 has a generally trapezoidal configuration with its larger base slightly smaller than the width of the constricted passage 38b of recess 38 and with an inclined side face 56a which is adapted to slide along the inclined ramp 42. Finger-gripping projections 58 and 60 are provided on the outer face of the side walls 48 and 50, respectively, in the area of bosses 56. A pair of perforated projections 62 and 64 are integral with the inner face of the end wall 62.
As illustrated in FIGS. 7, 8 and 9, the closure elements 14 and 16 are slideably mounted to the cover 12, closure element 14 being shown in a socket-exposing position and closure element 16 shown in a socket-covering position. Both covers are biased to be maintained in a socket-covering position by means of two pairs of springs (66 and 68 for closure element 14 and 70 and 72 for the closure element 16). These springs are mounted, at one end, to the studs 32 and 34 of the cover and, at the opposite end, to the projections 62 and 64 of the closure elements. In the socket-exposing position, springs 66 and 68 are tensioned and in extended condition while, in the socket-covering position, springs 70 and 72 are in a somewhat less tensioned condition. When the force indicated by arrow F (see FIG. 7) is released, springs 66 and 68 urge the closure element 14 to a socket-covering condition.
Referring more particularly to FIG. 9, the bosses 54 of the closure elements 14 and 16 cooperate with the grooves 36 of the cover to allow the longitudinal sliding movement of the closure elements relative to the cover. The opposite ends of grooves 36 limit the displacement of the closure elements. In the socket-opening condition, boss 56 is outside the recess 40 while in the socket-covering position, boss 56 is prevented from sliding, as shown on the left side of FIG. 9, as a result of it bearing against the stop wall 38d in the enlarged portion 38a of recess 38.
To move the closure elements from a socket-covering position to a socket-exposing condition, two movements are required: a first which is in the direction of arrow 80 causing the boss 56 to be free from the stop wall 38d, 40d and a second movement in the longitudinal direction of arrow 82 allowing the boss 56 to pass in the constricted passage 38b, 40b and out through the entrance portion 38c, 40c. As shown on the left side of FIG. 9, sliding movement in the direction of arrow 82 is prevented by the engagement of boss 56 with the stop wall 38d of the recess; movement in direction of arrow 80 being first required. Hence, the structural configuration of the cover and the closure elements cooperates to provide a safeguard against accidental or intentional opening of the closure elements especially by children.
This two-movement requirement is also present in the embodiment illustrated in FIGS. 10-13 which show a cover 100 and a pair of closure elements 102 and 104.
Referring more particularly to FIG. 10, the cover 100 has a pair of vertical spring-receiving channels 104 and 106, respectively made of walls 108, 110 and 112, 114. The upper edge 115 is formed of three flexible tongues 116, 118, 120, the outermost tongues 116 and 120 each displaying a lip (122 on tongue 120). The lower edge 115', of the cover is identically constructed to the upper edge with tongues 116, 118 and 120. Two parallel ribs 126, 128 extend horizontally to reinforce the cover transversely. Walls 108 and 114 have upper and lower outwardly projecting flanges 160, 162, 164 and 166.
Referring to FIGS. 11 and 12, the closure elements 102, 104 are identically constructed and description will be made, therefore, only to the lower closure element 104. The inner wall 130 thereof displays, adjacent each side wall 132, 134, a pair of parallel small sloping ramps 136, 138 and ramps 137, 139 on which the flexible tongues 116, 120 are adapted to slide during closure. The transverse bottom wall 140 displays a pair of retaining clips 142, 144 for connecting the opposite ends of springs 146, 148, as well as three centrally disposed ribs 150 each having an inclined inner surface 152 on which the flexible central tongue 118 of the cover is adapted to slide during closure. Each side walls 132, 134 includes an inner projection 154, 155 which is spaced from the inner wall 130 to slidingly receive therebetween the side edges 156, 158 of the cover. These projections also act as stoppers when contacted by the flanges 160, 162, 164, 166 of the cover to limit the opening of the closure elements.
Upon closure of element 102 under the action of springs 146, 148, the ramps 136, 138, 137, 139 slidingly contact tongues 116, 120 which flex slightly, the straight rear edges of the tongues passing by the lips 122 to secure the closure elements to the cover. Also, rib surfaces 152 slide on tongue 118 which flexes slightly and further secure the closure elements to the cover.
To desengage, a pulling movement in the direction of arrow 170 (see FIG. 13) is first effected to free the straight edges of the ramps 136, 137, 138, 139 from the tongue lips 122; this is followed by a second pulling movement as indicated by arrow 172 against the action of the springs to expose the electrical socket.
Although the invention has been described above in relation to one specific form, it will be evident to the person skilled in the art that it may be refined and modified in various ways. For example, to facilitate the opening of the closure elements, finger-friction surfaces 90 and 92 may be provided thereon. Therefore, it is wished to have it understood that this invention should not be limited in interpretation except by the terms of the following claims.

Alas, the capitulations continue. A few days ago, I listened on the CBC to an interview with the great Jean Vanier, the founder of L'Arche, which cares for severely handicapped and developmentally challenged people, heroic work that I could scarcely consider doing.

Human beings have always been story-tellers. Since the earliest days, we have striven to express our new-found ability to understand reality and interact more fully with the world around us.

Whoever eats of this bread will live forever; and the bread that I will give for the life of the world is my flesh. (Jn 6:51) In our meditations on the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass we have considered the unchangeable heart of the Mass, the Canon or Eucharistic Prayer. It is the very heart of the Mass because this priestly prayer brings about the consecration of the offerings into the Body and Blood of our Saviour, the Bread of Life. ... (Continue reading)
For the bread of God is that which comes down from heaven and gives life to the world. (Jn 6:33) As we listen to our Lord's Eucharistic discourse, our Lord Himself teaches us about the Eucharist, the Sacrament prefigured not only in the miracle of the multiplication of the loaves and fish but also in the life and worship of the Jewish people, specifically in the worship given to God in the Temple in Jerusalem.

Then Jesus took the loaves, and when he had given thanks, he distributed them to those who were seated; so also the fish, as much as they wanted.

So the twelve went out and proclaimed that all should repent. (Mk 6:13) The call to repentance is fundamental to the preaching of our Lord Jesus Christ as it was also in the preaching of St. John the Baptist, the Lord's precursor and all the prophets before him, including Amos, whose prophecy we heard in our first reading. Not surprisingly, Amos is told to go away because his prophecy condemns external religious ceremony that covers moral corruption and is not accompanied by ... (Continue reading)

MidAmerican offering tree-planting grants
MidAmerican Energy Company is offering Iowa communities it serves the opportunity to apply for tree-planting grants.
By providing funds for communities to plant trees in parks, roadways and other common areas, the Trees Please! program promotes energy efficiency and environmental beautification. Trees improve energy efficiency by serving as natural windbreaks and providing shade to homes and businesses. At the same time, planting trees improves air quality and helps protect and nourish the soil.
Since the program's inception in 1997, MidAmerican has awarded more than $1.7 million in grants, resulting in the planting of approximately 55,500 trees.
"In these times of increasing budget constraints, the Trees Please! program allows communities to beautify while helping the environment and promoting energy conservation," said Rick Leuthauser, manager of MidAmerican's energy efficiency programs. "MidAmerican is proud to be able to provide this resource."
The amount of each community's grant will be determined after all the applications are received. Applications will be evaluated on the basis of project merit, benefit to the community and ability to obtain matching funds. Communities receiving a grant will be notified of their award during the second week of December.
For more information about the program or to receive an application form, community leaders should call 800-434-4017 or email Kim Willer, energy efficiency specialist at firstname.lastname@example.com. The deadline to request an application is October 24.
For more information about the other energy efficiency programs offered by MidAmerican Energy to help its customers conserve energy and save money, visit the MidAmerican Energy website at www.midamericanenergy.com/ee.
MidAmerican Energy Company, Iowa's largest energy company, provides electric service to 722,000 customers and natural gas service to 702,000 customers in Iowa, Illinois, Nebraska and South Dakota. It is headquartered in Des Moines. Information about MidAmerican is available on the internet at www.midamericanenergy.com.

Turn Christmas Visitors Into January Members
By Hal Seed on Dec 4, 2013
Here's how to bring them back before Easter!
Christmas visitors are not like normal visitors.
Every year a significant percentage of them will leave your Christmas services with good feelings, but no thoughts of returning. They came because it was the thing to do. They don't expect to be back until Easter.
How can you change those expectations so they'll return sooner?
Answer: You can't. Only God can change a human heart.
But you can help that heart change.
1. Make a good first impression.
Whether they know it or not, visitors want to be greeted, directed, seated and treated.
Some years ago, while New Song was still meeting in a school, I experienced a pastor's greatest nightmare: I arrived at our site without my notes! I jumped back in the car, grabbed my sermon and dashed back to church just as the service was starting.
Before I got five steps from my car, I was greeted by Brooks Bodie. He'd been greeting guests like that for a long time, but I had never experienced it before. His kind smile and encouraging words convinced me that I would want to be part of this church even if I weren't on staff.
Greeting: Rick Warren's goal is to have every guest greeted five times on their way in and three on their way out. If your church is smaller, you can scale that accordingly.
Directing: Visitors want to know three locations: Where are the children's rooms? Where are the bathrooms? And where is the auditorium?
Last week I asked a Walmart clerk where I could find a particular item. She surprised me by walking me to the exact aisle. That left me with such a good impression that I'm now telling you about it!
Good signage can help with this, but nothing beats a smile, a handshake and an offer to show me where I need to go.
Seating: Walking into a church auditorium can feel awkward. A sparsely populated room makes me feel self-conscious. A densely populated makes it hard to find a seat. Both problems are diminished by the help of a friendly usher who suggests a particular seat or section and walks me there.
Treating: If first impressions are important, so are last impressions. At New Song, we offer every first time guest a copy of The God Questions, Gift Edition. It's a small gift book (available from Outreach, Inc.) that reads easy and answers the five major questions people have about God.
Most weekends, we put the books by the door or offer them at our Information Counter. But on Christmas Eve, I stand at the front of the church and offer to sign the gift page and give a free copy to all newcomers. This gives me a chance to say a personal word to every guest who is willing to come up after the service.
2. Invite them to Christ.
The one force that can change a person's mind about church attendance is the Holy Spirit. I believe every church should present an invitation to Christ at every Christmas, Easter and funeral service.
Many churches miss this opportunity.
But your Christmas visitors expect you to talk about Jesus. So explain how Jesus wants to have a relationship with them and the benefits they'll receive from bowing down to him (salvation, forgiveness, peace, etc.).
This can be scary the first time you try it, but the rewards of seeing someone come to Christ will quickly convince you to be bold every chance you get!
3. Connect with them afterward.
During every service, we ask everyone to fill out a Connection Card. I email all guests within 48 hours. A member of our First Impressions Team also calls them. And two days later, I send a personal note in the mail. The note tells them what we'll be covering the next weekend, and includes a coupon for the movie To Save A Life, which they can redeem in our bookstore.
My favorite memory from last year's Christmas services comes from a young Marine named George. George and his wife received Christ in one of our services. When I emailed him on the 26th, he responded that he wanted to sing in church soon. I'm hesitant to put an unknown artist on our stage, so I thanked him and told him one of our Worship Pastors would be in touch.
A few days later I heard the story: "George is good! He'll be singing next weekend!" After receiving Christ, George went home and wrote a song about what had just happened to him.
His wife had recently miscarried. They came to church desperate, and God met them there. Now they were experiencing the peace that surpasses understanding.
May you have many Georges visit your church this Christmas!

Slut taste her own bum in this ass 2 mouth video
Awesome anal sex movie with Jayna Oso (also known as Malasia, Malaysia, Malasah) that gets a 29 minute long penetration of her tight bum. She has a shaved pussy and is probably the most aggressive woman when it comes to sex. She is quite cute and keeps the show until the meat comes to the set, she start licking and sucking. Jayna then enjoys a vaginal pounding from behind before taking the shaft inside her arse again in the reverse cowgirl position. There is a bit of ass to mouth here from Jayna, I really liked the guy standing over her thrusting her arse juices into her mouth, skull fucking style. This lady has a really nice body, and she takes anal and double penetration like it's second nature. Double anal for Jayna. Jayna gets a sticky load all over her beautiful face.
