This application is a division of application Ser. No. 055,631, filed May 29, 1987, now U.S. Pat. No. 4,778,173.
This invention relates to appliances which aid persons in exercising and to methods of using such appliances.
One class of appliance and method for excercising includes a holder for a rope to be used in the exercise of jumping rope, with the holder having a pivotable portion that permits the rope to pivot freely in the appliance. It has also been suggested that weights be used in jumping rope to provide upper body muscle development.
In the prior art appliances and methods for jumping rope, the appliance for pivotably holding the rope includes a ball bearing racer held in place by a staple on the rope, with the rope being pivotably held by the ball bearing racer to extend from the handle. The end of the rope is mounted to extend from, be aligned with and pivot about a common axis extending through the longitudinal axis of the handle. With this arrangement, the end of the rope is bent at an angle to the pivot axis a short distance from the pivot point. In many such prior art holders the pivot means is separate from the weights.
The prior art exercise appliances have several disadvantages such as for example: (1) not pivoting freely and being subject to locking because of the manner the rope is held by them; (2) being inconvenient to use; (3) being difficult to adjust for the desired amount of weight or to remove the rope; and (4) causing delay in the turning of the rope because it is bent at a sharp angle a short distance from the handle.
Another class of exerciser includes two handles that are pulled apart or pushed together against a biasing pressure and then permitted to return to their original position. In some of these exercisers, the two handles are intended to be used with one hand and in others two hands are used.
In prior art exercisers of this type, the force which is worked against is provided by a spring. These prior art appliances have several disadvantages such as: (1) the force required to move them is not uniform but depends on the distance the two handles have moved; and (2) they are relatively difficult to adjust to provide different forces.
Accordingly, it is an object of the invention to provide a novel appliance for exercising and a novel method for exercising.
It is a further object of the invention to provide appliances for exercising in which the amount of force necessary to use the appliance may be easily adjusted.
It is a still further object of the invention to provide a novel appliance and method for jumping rope in which the rope may be easily attached and removed.
It is a still further object of the invention to provide a novel appliance for jumping rope in which the rope ends extend from and pivots about at an angle axis ninety degrees to the rope.
It is a still further object of the invention to provide a novel hand or arm exerciser in which the force necessary to move the parts of the appliance by one hand or by both of the hands and the arms may be readily adjusted and is substantially uniform.
In accordance with the above and further objects of the invention, an exerciser for jumping rope includes a body portion, a grip and a pivotable rope holding portion. The body portion includes means for adjustably controlling the total weight of the exerciser, whereby the exerciser may be used to jump rope while having an easily adjustable selectable weight on it. The pivotable rope holding portion mounts the end of the rope perpendicularly to the axis of rotation and allows the rope to be removed or switched easily.
Advantageously, the body portion of the exerciser for jumping rope is hollow and the grip is formed over and is part of the hollow body portion, with the pivotable rope holder pivoting on the body portion. The weight or weights may be inserted in the body portion and are of different weight to control the weight in the exerciser.
In use, a person opens each of the body portions and inserts within them weights selected to provide the desired weight before closing it. The rope is then attached with one end of the rope being attached to one exerciser and the other end of the rope being attached to another exerciser. After this is done, a person may jump rope, with the inertial force of the rope causing the pivotable sections to turn with the rope. The exerciser may also be used without the rope in other exercises.
Another embodiment of exerciser includes first and second handles mounted for movement with respect to each other, a biasing means for biasing them in one direction and friction means connecting the two handles, with the friction means being adjustable to adjust frictionally the amount of pressure necessary to move the two handles together.
In the preferred embodiment, the two handles are positioned close together to be held by one hand and the exercise is performed by closing and opening the hand to move the handles against the frictional force. The biasing means aids in opening the handles but otherwise does not play a substantial role in controlling the force.
It can be understood from the above description that the exercising appliance of this invention, when used in the method of this invention, has several advantages such as: (1) it is simple in construction and economical; (2) it is easy to adjust to provide different forces against which the exerciser works; (3) it forms a compact single unit without the need for weights to be held separately from the handles or the like; (4) the rope pivots about an axis to which it is perpendicular, thus eliminating rope end bending and reducing rope lag; and (5) the rope may be removed easily to use handles as aerobic hand weights.
The above noted and other features of the invention will be better understood from the following detailed description when considered with reference to the accompanying drawings, in which:
FIG. 1 is an elevational view, partly sectioned, of an exerciser for jumping rope in accordance with the invention;
FIG. 2 is a fragmentary exploded view of a portion of the exerciser of FIG. 1;
FIG. 3 is an exploded perspective view of a hand grip exerciser; and
FIG. 4 is a rear elevational view of the hand grip exerciser of FIG. 3.
In FIG. 1, there is shown a partly-sectioned elevational view of a weighted jumping rope holder 10 connected to a jumping rope 18 and usable as an exerciser. The weighted jumping rope holder 10 includes a flexible strap 12, a weight-adjustable body 14, and a pivotable rope mounting section 16 adapted to engage one end of a jumping rope 18. The pivotable rope mounting section 16, in the preferred embodiment, is mounted to pivot with respect to both the flexible strap 12 and the weight-adjustable body 14. The weight-adjustable body 14 serves as a handle or grip and cooperates with the flexible strap 12 for convenient holding of the exerciser by the user.
The pivotable rope mounting section 16 includes a pivot member 20, a pivot pin 22, a rope sleeve 26, and a pressure adjustment means 28. In some embodiments a self-lubricating washer 24 is included and in others it is omitted but a portion of the pivot member 20 is self-lubricating. The pivot member 20 is pivotably mounted to the weight-adjustable body 14 by the pin 22, which connects the two and thus permits rotation of the pivot member 20 with respect to the weight-adjustable body 14 and the flexible strap 12.
The rope sleeve 26 extends through the pivot member 20 in a direction orthogonal to the longitudinal axis of the weight-adjustable body 14 and includes at its top an internally-threaded cylinder adapted to receive an externally-threaded thumb screw 28 which serves as a pressure adjustment means to hold the rope 18 within the rope sleeve 26 by pressing against its upper surface to pinch it between the pivot member 20 and the pressure adjustment means 28.
The pivot member 20 may be of nylon or similar self-lubricating material or may be of steel and rest against a portion of the weight-adjustable body 14 which is a suitable bearing material or against a washer 24 or other bearing surface to permit ready pivoting. It thus includes: (1) a surface complimentarily formed to the end surface of the weight-adjustable body 14 to provide such pivoting; (2) a hole 32 through its center; and (3) a counterbore 33 adapted to receive the pivot pin 22 to hold it in place with the bearing surface 30 of the pivot member 20 mounted to rotate with respect to the weight-adjustable body 14.
In the preferred embodiment, the bearing surface 30 is self lubricating and rests upon a backing for the flexible strap 12 and the weight-adjustable body 14 in a manner to be described hereinafter. The pivot pin 22 is a threaded self-locking shoulder bolt which threads into an integrally-formed end portion 40 of the weight-adjustable body 14 and fits within the counterbore 33 with its head resting upon a shoulder between the counterbore 33 and the hole 32 to permit pivoting of the pivot member 20 while holding it with respect to the weight-adjustable body 14.
The counterbore 33 includes a centrally-located annular shoulder 34 surrounded by a cylindrical outer rim 36 which receives the rope sleeve 26 to hold the jumping rope 18 and includes threads on its inner surface at 37 into which the pressure member 28 may be threaded. The rope sleeve 26 is a hole extending perpendicularly to the side wall of the pivot member 20 and to its axis of rotation to receive the rope 18. A disc-shaped spacer 35 rests on the shoulder 34 to support the rope 18 against the pressure of the thumb screw pressure means 28.
To enable the weight of the jumping rope holder 10 to be adjusted, the weight-adjustable body 14 includes an integrally-formed end portion 40, an inner end member 42, at least one cylindrical weight indicated generally at 46, and an outer cylindrical wall 48 covered by a foam rubber covering 50 to form a tubular cylindrical body portion. The tubular cylindrical body portion is: (1) adapted to receive one 46 a plurality of cylindrical weight within it; (2) enclosable at the inner end by the inner end member 42; and (3) closed at its outer end by the integrally-formed end portion 40, which includes the neck 44 forming an annular shoulder to receive the flexible strap 12 in a manner to be described hereinafter.
The cylindrical weights 46 may be of different proportions of metal and plastic or a plurality of weights may be used to enable the total weight to be adjustable and, for that purpose, may conveniently be made of lead, steel and/or plastic such as low density polyethylene. In the preferred embodiment, they are plastic coated lead and the proportion of lead and plastic controls how heavy they are. They are generally cylindrical shaped with an outer diameter the same size as the inner diameter of the tubular body portion. The outer cylindrical wall 48 is conveniently of metal or plastic and contains foam rubber in a thin layer over it for comfort.
To aid the user to hold the grip of the jumping rope holder 10, the flexible strap 12 is in a U-shape with the two legs of the "U" engaging the weight-adjustable body 14 at spaced-apart locations. The legs and bottom of the "U" are formed of a foam rubber cylinder 62 with washers 47A and 47B inserted in apertures near the ends of the legs of the "U" to hold the flexible strap in place. The central apertures of the washers fit about the threaded neck 45 (FIG. 2) of the end 70 and the neck 44 of the integrally-formed end portion 40. The flexible strap 12 aids in holding the exercisers on the hands against the pressure exerted against the hands by the weight of the exerciser. There is enough space between the leg of the "U" and the outer surface of the of the weight-adjustable body 14 to accommodate the fingers of the user. This distance is at least 1/4 inch.
To fasten the flexible strap 12, the apertures in the washers serve as reinforcing for eyelets in the flexible strap and is held about the neck of the end pieces between the outer cylindrical wall 48 and the integrally-formed end portion 40 by the tightening of the end piece 70 to pull the integrally-formed end portion 40 against the outer cylindrical wall 48. The eyelets are mounted between a washer 47A and the inner end member 42 by the tightening of the end piece on the end threaded portion of the neck 44.
In FIG. 2, there is shown an exploded perspective fragmentary view of a portion of the flexible strap 12 and the inner end member 42 illustrating the manner in which they are connected together. As shown in this view, the inner end member 42 includes a foam rubber cylinder 62 of the flexible strap 12 and is of substantially the same outer diameter as the washer 47A and the finger bolt 70 which together comprise the inner end member 42. The underside of the finger bolt 70 includes a threaded neck 45 and a knurled cylindrical band 76.
In FIG. 3, there is shown an exploded perspective view of a hand exerciser 80 having a first handle assembly 82, a second handle assembly 4, a pressure control section 86, and a spring biasing assembly 88. In the hand exerciser 80, the first and second handle assemblies 82 and 84 are manually pressed together against a fixed frictional resistance in the pressure control section 86 until a certain distance has been moved and then they are released and moved apart by a relatively weak spring in the biasing assembly 88.
The same principle may be used with exercisers in which handles are pulled apart until a certain movement has occurred and then the friction released so they are moved back under relatively light pressure or by a spring. Both principles are illustrated by the first and second handle assemblies 82 and 84 and the pressure control section 86 and the spring biasing assembly 88 although they can be applied to arm exercisers rather than hand exercisers as shown in FIG. 3.
The first handle assembly 82 includes a handle base 92, covered by a foam rubber cover 96 and extending downwardly between a base 90 and an end member 94 so that it may be gripped by one hand and pulled toward the second handle assembly 84.
The handle base 92 includes an enlarged portion 93, an inner support member 91 and an outer covering 96. The enlarged portion includes within it a pin hole 100, a spring hole 98 for the spring biasing assembly 88 and a left spring 192 adapted to be held in the spring hole 98 by a pin 196 that fits in the hole 100.
The enlarged portion 93 of the handle base 92 is at the top of the handle and beneath the base 90 to easily engage across flat sides with the second handle assembly 84 while pivoting about the base 90 so that the two handles of the first and second handle assemblies 82 and 84 are close together with the pressure adjustment assembly 86 extending therefrom.
The second handle assembly 84 similarly includes a base 110, an inner handle member 112, an end member 114, a foam rubber cover 116 for the inner handle member 112 and an enlarged offset section 113 of the handle member 112. The enlarged offset section 113 includes a spring hole 118 for the spring biasing assembly 88 and a spring retainer tapped hole 120.
The base 90 of the handle assembly 82 includes a central aperture 103, a counterbore 101 in the central aperture intersected by a hole adapted to receive a retaining pin 105. The aperture 103 and counterbore 101 are adapted to receive one end of the pressure control section 86 and that end is held in place by the retaining pin 109. The other side of the base 90 has an aperture 105 adapted to receive a molded pinion 107 that extends into the aperture 103 where the apertures 103 and 105 intersect.
The base 110 of the handle assembly 84 includes a central square aperture 140 extending through it and adapted to receive the other end of the pressure control section 86. It cooperates with the pressure adjustment assembly 86 to enable the two handle assemblies 82 and 84 to be pulled together an released. The pressure control section 86 includes a ratchet assembly 130, a first friction assembly 132, a second friction assembly 134, and a pressure adjustment assembly 136. The base 110 of the second handle assembly 84 includes annular flat bearing surfaces on each side. These two annular rings cooperate with the first and second friction units 132 and 134 to resist movement of the grips 92 and 95 toward each other.
The square central apertures in the four metal washers 162, 160, 170 and 172 engage four corresponding square detent members or bases to force them to move with respect to the washer on the opposite of its friction disks. The square detents are square boss 145, detents (not shown) corresponding to the square raised edges 141 on the opposite side of the aperture 140, the square edges 141 and corresponding edges (not shown) on the member 176, respectively.
To permit easy motion apart by a bias spring at the end of the movement of the first and second handle assemblies 82 and 84, the ratchet assembly 130 includes a ratchet wheel 142, an axle 144, and the molded pawl 107 within the opening 101. The axle 144 has a threaded portion 150 on one end and the other end has the ratchet wheel 142, the cylindrical boss 147 and square locking boss 145 thereon held by a set screw 152. Collar 148 fits over the cylindrical boss 147. Pawl 107 is permanently mounted within the hole 101 so that the axle 144 is rotatable freely in one direction inside the ratchet hole 103 but not in the other, thus permitting the friction disk 164 to move freely in one direction but not the other.
To provide an adjustable amount of friction resisting the movement of the two handles together while releasing it in the opposite direction, the first friction assembly 132 includes first and second metal washers 160 and 162 on either side of a leather friction disk 164. The metal washer 160, leather friction disk 164 and metal washer 162 are annular in shape. Metal washers 160 and 162 have central square apertures aligned with each other, the central cylindrical aperture of the leather friction disk 164 and with the central cylindrical aperture 140 on the second handle assembly 84.
The ratchet assembly 130 is positioned to pass through all of the apertures so that metal washer 162 lies against one side of the central friction disk 164 and the metal washer 160 lies against the other side of the central friction disk 164 of the first handle assembly 82 with the leather friction disk 164 between to provide an adjustable amount of friction against motion of the first and second handle assemblies 82 and 84 toward each other, with the ratchet wheel 142 locked depending on the force exerted normally to them. The square apertures in the friction disks 162 and 160 fit conformingly on the square.
On the opposite side of the second handle assembly 84, the second friction unit 134 has a similar arrangement fitting around the axle 144 and including a first metal washer 170, a second metal washer 172, and a leather friction disk 174 between them.
With this arrangement, the first and second friction units 132 and 134 are on opposite sides of the base 110 of the second handle assembly 84 and control the force necessary to move this second handle assembly 84 toward the first handle assembly 82, while it may be released from the ratchet wheel 142 to move easily in the opposite direction.
To adjust the pressure and thus the frictional force against which the first and second handle assemblies 82 and 84 are pulled together, the pressure adjusting member 136 includes an internal tapped hole 176 aligned to be threaded on the threaded portion 150 of the axle 144 and thus, control the pressure of the first and second friction units 132 and 134 against the friction surfaces of the second handle assembly 84 and the central friction disk 164. An aperture 180 is provided through which a shaft may be inserted to exert increased pressure. With this arrangement, the pressure may be easily adjusted and released by a user.
The spring biasing assembly 88 includes a shaft 190, a first spring 192, and a second spring 194. The first spring 192 fits within the spring hole 98 and within the end of the shaft 190 and the second spring 194 fits within the spring hole 118 on the other side of the shaft 190, with the shaft 190 being of such a size that it may move within the spring holes 98 and 118. Set screws 196 and 198 hold the first and second springs 192 and 194 within the spring holes 98 and 118 so that as the first and second handle assemblies 82 and 84 are pulled together, the first and second springs 192 and 194 are compressed, but without adding much force so that the overwhelming force of bringing the first and second handle assemblies 82 and 84 together is frictional force.
On the other hand, when the first and second handle assemblies 82 and 84 are released, the first and second springs 192 and 194 have sufficient strength to permit the first and second handle assemblies 82 and 84 to be moved back because the axle 144 is free to rotate in that direction. Thus, the first and second springs 192 and 194 have sufficient strength to rotate the axle 144 but when the axle 144 is held in place by the ratchet wheel 142, the frictional force normally exerted is far greater than the force of the spring.
In FIG. 4, there is shown a rear elevational view of the first and second handle assemblies 82 and 84 of the hand exerciser 80 illustrating the manner in which the enlarged offset section 93 of the handle assembly 82 and the enlarged offset section 113 of the handle assembly 84 are mounted with the handle base 92 and inner handle member 112 (FIG. 2) parallel with each other in substantially the same plane. The base enlarged offset section 93 extends both behind and in front of the enlarged offset section 113 to support the pressure adjustment assembly 86 (FIG. 2) with the arms parallel.
In using the weighted jumping rope holder 10, two jump rope holders are adjusted as to weight. This is accomplished by unthreading the finger tightener bolt 70, after which the handle 12 and the washer 24 may be removed from the spindle 44 and the cylindrical weight 46 removed. A cylindrical weight 46 is selected having any of differing amounts of lead in its interior. Also separate weights may be selected either of nylon, steel or lead to reach the desired weight and then the handle 12 is replaced and the finger tightener bolt 70 threaded so that a complete unit is obtained with the desired weight.
Each of the two ends of the jumping rope 18 is inserted into a corresponding one of the rope sleeves 26 of the jump rope 18 by loosening the pressure adjustment means 28, inserting the end of the jumping rope 18 and tightening it. With the jumping rope 18 in position, the unit may then be used by gripping a different handle in each arm and going through the normal motions of jumping rope. When this is done, the rope sleeves 26 rotate to prevent twisting of the rope and the user of the equipment has the extra strain of the weights placed upon his arms for further exercise.
To use the hand exerciser 80, the pressure control section 86 is adjusted by rotating it to adjust the pressure between the central friction disk 164 and the end of the pressure adjusting member 136 by threading it onto the threaded portion 150 of the axle 144. When the pressure has been adjusted, the user grips the first and second handle assemblies 82 and 84 and pulls them together with one hand. During this motion, the set screw 152 is gripped by the pawl 107 and unable to move so that the motion of the first and second handle assemblies 82 and 84 is against the friction caused by the leather friction disks 164 and 174 against the first and second metal washers 170 and 172 of the first handle assembly 82 and the first and second metal washers 160 and 162 of the second handle assembly 84, respectively. When the user releases his grip, the first and second springs 192 and 194 move the first and second handle assemblies 82 and 84 back freely because the ratchet wheel 142 disengages the pawl 107 and offers no resistance.
From the above description, it can be understood that the weighted jump rope appliance of this invention has the advantages of combining in one compact package an adjustable weight and jump rope appliance to render the jump rope appliance easy to use and the weight adjustment convenient. The hand exerciser uses a readily adjustable force control which is easily adjusted for the amount of force in a hand grip or the like for movement in one direction with an easy release and return in the other direction.
Although a preferred embodiment of the invention has be en described with some particularity, many modifications and variations in the preferred embodiment are possible within the light of the above teachings. Therefore, it is to be understood that, within the scope of the appended claims, the invention may be practiced other than as specifically described.

"...the sadder, but wiser girl for me..." Professor Harold Hill
IU Summer Band concerts have been drawing crowds for more than 50 years.
"It's like I'm in school mode all the time. I'm always feeling like I should be working or doing something," says freshman bassoon student Meridith Wright.
It's hard to imagine a better musical with which to start the summer.
When the Extraordinaires were in Bloomington last fall, they performed their eclectic music for unsuspecting pedestrians on a downtown street corner.
The Reverend Peyton's Big Damn Band wanted to come home to Indiana to ring in the new year. Their show at the Bluebird is sure to be a family affair.
Their fans love them. Their live shows are raucous events. Their new album is creating a buzz. And oh yeah... they're all girls. The Ladyquakes!

The Come From Away Story
The plot of this show is based on one true story, which is about the far Newfoundland. Basically, it's an isolated community that was the host to the world in 2011. This famous territory is called the world's edge by many people. Here, the weather is quite harsh, but local inhabitants are always warm in their attitude to others.
In Newfoundland, one remote location was the center of an amazing true story that won the hearts of many people. That's because it's filled with many original characters, uncommon generosity and other positive features and traits.
The population of this small town was doubled when almost 40 flights with a large number of passengers were grounded there. Locals did their best to welcome all strangers and opened their houses to them. This is how gratitude turned into a warm friendship, different cultures met, and this uneasy situation transformed into something new and amazing.
This story inspired the creation of Come From Away, a new show or a refreshing musical chosen by many viewers for being ingenious, original and masterful.

Surface Water Quality Evaluation Using BP and RBF Neural Network
It is very important to evaluate water quality in environment protection. Water environment is a complicated system, traditional methods cannot meet the demands of water environment protection. In view of the deficiency of the traditional methods, a BP neural network model and a RBF neural network model are proposed to evaluate water quality. The proposed model was applied to evaluate the water quality of 10 sections in Suzhou River. The evaluation result was compared with that of the RBF neural network method and the reported results in Suzhou river. It indicated that the performance of proposed neural network model is practically feasible in the application of water quality assessment and its operation is simple.

For All Mankind Trailer (1989)
"A Film by Al Reinert" 01 January 1989 Factual 80 mins
In July 1969, the space race ended when Apollo 11 fulfilled President Kennedy's challenge of "landing a man on the Moon and returning him safely to the Earth." No one who witnessed the lunar landing will ever forget it. Al Reinert's documentary For All Mankind is the story of the twenty-four men who traveled to the moon, told in their words, in their voices, using the images of their experiences. Forty years after the first moon landing, it remains the most radical, visually dazzling work of cinema yet made about this earthshaking event.

August 7 Birthday Horoscope
People born specifically on the 7th of August are imagined to be purposeful, persistent, proud and akin to most Lions do not like being unappreciated. The astrological planetary force that rules this particular day is Neptune making you sharply intuitive with a brilliant imagination and a range of artistic talents. If you have this birthday a logical helpful nature is bestowed upon you but also the inclination to be a tad impatient and materialistic occasionally too. You are usually generous and caring with an idealistic streak that craves tranquility in addition and contrast to excitement and variety. Individuals with an August the seventh birthday are full of charisma, quite sociable and fairly confident yet they often enjoy their own company as much as spending time with others. Despite your self worth, an emotional sensitivity makes you soon distressed or distracted by your surroundings or the unfortunate plights of others.
August 7 Zodiac Sign - Leo
As a Leo born on August 7th, you are well known for being both humorous and optimistic. You love to have everyone's attention, because it gives you the coveted opportunity to make others laugh. Your wit is one of your greatest tools for winning over others and it is greatly appreciated by those close to you. Your optimism always finds a way to shine, even in situations that appear to be overwhelmingly negative. You take this same optimism into exploring new places and environments.
August 7 Birthday Element - Fire
The Leo's paired element is fire and you actually are the only zodiac sign with a fundamental connection to the element. Fire's influence materializes in the burning passion that seems to power you through life. Whenever you encounter a challenge or goal, you work tirelessly to meet it. It is this determination that is one of your greatest assets. Be careful to avoid the impatience, egotism and impulsiveness that comes from the over-embrace of fire's influence.
August 7 Ruling Planet - Sun
Your sign is ruled by the Sun, but because you were born in the second Decan, or part, of the sign, you are also subject to the planetary influence of Jupiter. Being the planet of individuality, creativity and vitality, the Sun's influence is connected to these same traits that you possess. Likewise, Jupiter is responsible for your generosity, optimism and idealistic nature. These planets combine to make you the most positive and knowledge driven of all the Leo Decans. You take every chance to learn from the world around you and are most excited in new places or while meeting new people. Hold on tightly to your positive outlook, as it is not only inspiring to others, but a source of great fortune.
August 7 Leo Personality
Leos born on August 7 like to make great mysteries of even the smallest things and refuse to live their lives according to convention. These are attractive, magnetic people who have an unabashed need to play mind-games in order to seduce others, emotionally and spiritually.
Strengths & Weaknesses
Your main strengths of character are exhibited in your finely tuned intuition, sense of purpose and persistence. These positive characteristics integrate perfectly with your clever, funny and socially adept temperament serving as fabulous guides. All these favorable qualities gain you a reputation for being cheerful, bright and nice to know. If you find yourself in a negative mood the personality weaknesses for those born on August 7th will usually surface. This negativity can frequently manifest itself as bouts of self pity, anxiety, impatience or in the form of reclusive sulky and stubborn behaviors.
People born on August 7 have a sincere and courageous path to life. They are aspiring and bull headed when it comes to their objectives but also incredibly resourceful when they are asked to help others. They take most things in life as a challenge and they tend to lose dignity consideration for those who loss or behave cowardly. They are however, fair players and prefer to remain in the same place with everyone at the beginning although they often end up in leading positions.
Positive traits: Those born on this day are sincere, self confident and so actively engaged in so many activities at all times that is almost impossible to keep up with them. Leo people are usually quite communicative and also emotionally strong. Those born under this sign are innovative, being the motivators of tomorrow but are also humorous and understanding with people who deserve their attention.
Negative traits: These natives are rigid and egotistic and they often believe that they are the only ones who can perform a certain task so they often offend others. They are idealistic up to the point that they are blinded by their own intentions and are quick to get angry if they do not receive everything they want. They are lazy and reluctant to change. They can commit foolish mistakes just because they are trying to maintain their leading position.
Love & Relationships
For a Leo, the person born on the seventh day of August is typically loyal, open, passionate and a bit of a perfectionist regarding romance. You seem to want your own independence but may have issues and displays of possessiveness if a soul mate partner request equal freedoms. Communication, sexual and otherwise, on an intimate physical and mental level must be constant for you to be at your most receptive to contemplating compromise and overcoming any differences of opinion. A combined physical and mental rapport is an essential requirement to the success of a long term loving relationship. Your ample generosity is noticeably evident in the bedroom where you are considerate and concerned with your partner's pleasure as well as and before your own. The stroking of your ego, extravagant settings and provocative language are frequently instant turn on's for you.
Lovers born on August 7 are passionate and energetic. They enjoy dating rituals and they invest a lot of imagination in proving their partner for interesting and adventurous they are. They are attracted to charming, energetic and ambitious people who can keep up with their agitated lifestyle. You can conquer the heart of Leo if you know how to "sell" your best features to them, while still maintaining the focus on how amazing they are and how the world revolves around them.
Their love personality can be defined as reserved and quiet. They can be rather stubborn and expect others to make the first steps. When in a relationship their love progresses quickly, their attitude changes and they turn into a devoted and persistent lover. Despite the fact that they are friendly and generally happy persons it is quite difficult for them to settle for someone, probably because they are expecting things to happen instead of making them happen. They are most compatible with those born on the 1st, 2nd, 10th, 11th, 19th, 20th, 28th and 29th.
August 7 Zodiac people are most attached to the other two fire signs: Aries and Sagittarius as they tend to share the same vision of life. In love, Leo is in a constant search for an active and visionary partner to expand their horizon and the best to offer this is the native in Aquarius. The least compatible with people born on August 7 are those born under Cancer. As for the rest of compatibilities between the other star signs and Leo, you know what they say, stars predispose but people dispose.
Career & Finances
Suitable profession options may be difficult to decide on to a person born on the seventh of August as a result of your need to feel appreciated. A requirement to feel helpful and valued when working can make you choosy about the sort of work you are attracted towards. As your sleep patterns are easily disturbed so irregular work hours are ordinarily unsuitable. If jobs involving writing or photography are not chosen as career paths they should be considered as serious hobbies with extra income generating potential. Not overly keen on handing finances you generally try your best to balance a budget.
Health & Wellness
A robust physique usually contributes to the usual good health condition experienced by those born on August the seventh. This robustness of body sometimes suffers as a consequence of your weak spots in healthiness relating to sensitive emotions. Regular meal times are important and exercise activities must not be boring as you can quickly become unmotivated. People born on this day commonly benefit from massage to combat a proneness to tension acquired by taking on too much responsibility every now and then. Succumbing to little viruses could be avoided by ensuring you take adequate rest.
Dreams & Goals
Being born on the 7th of August grants you the tendency to believe in the power of the mind's spirit to motivate and help you achieve goals. This optimism and positivity gives you plenty of drive and focus to accomplish the things that mean the most to you. You are likely to want to display any professional successes with the acquisition of desirable possessions and a healthy financial status. Your imaginative thought processes and flair can prove really useful in your attempts to acquire the harmonious secure lifestyle you desire. Dreams are usually mostly focused on simply being happy and feeling content.
Luck & Significance
As you were born on the seventh day of the month your specific birth date Root number is also a Seven. This numerical reference to your birthday has the keyword "Mystery" indicating your contrasting cravings for variation and change alongside your additional need for serenity. In the Major Arcana Tarot the 7th card depicting the Chariot is associated with your birthday. This is a symbol of your strong willed and self disciplined disposition. The lucky gemstone for August the seventh birthdays is Jade, wear it for equilibrium and the promise of a boost to wisdom and wealth.
Summation for Leo born on August 7
The basic probabilities of all Leo personalities are presumed to be strongly influenced by the dominance of our Sun. The actual day you were born on, the seventh of August is governed by the celestial body Neptune's influence. This duo of planets are thought to be the primary influences that determine your similarities and distinctness from others in your zodiac circle. Your naturally dignified, analytical and perceptive perspective presents you as capable and insightful in all you say and do. Your charismatic confidence and emotionally sensitive side are in even measures allowing you the potential to make balanced decisions. If you can discover the things that appear to provoke your tendencies for anxious sulky stubbornness and unwillingness to wait you should be able to gain some control on your weaker traits. A concluding thought for people born on August the 7th suggests aiming to be as honest and fair as you can, as this should lead to fortunate paths.

It's time to get the philosophy degrees out again as we ponder over Alex Garland's directorial debut, Ex Machina.
Domhnall Gleeson plays Caleb, the lucky employee of Bluebook who wins the prize of staying with the company's owner and founder, reclusive billionaire Nathan Bateman for a week. It turns out Nathan has been creating a robot with the most advanced artificial intelligence technology, and has named her Ava. The job falls on Caleb to test just how 'human' Ava is.
Ex Machina takes a fresh step on some familiar ground. Love, or to be more precise, attractiveness, plays a key part as we see Caleb and Ava converse, and sometimes even flirt with each other. The 'sessions' as they are called, have an unsettling voyeuristic feel as the pair explore their feelings and desires. It makes for compelling viewing and Alicia Vikander does a splendid job with a tricky role. She gives Ava a childlike innocence, making it impossible not to care for the lonely A.I., forced to live a life of solitude.
When Caleb first meets Nathan, he offhandedly compares him to a god, and the film feels like it's going to take a deep breath and explore this weighty topic. Instead, it lets the viewer make up their own mind. It's obvious that Garland wants the audience to think about, and take sides in this debate, while also keeping the film clear and concise. Ex Machina does a brilliant job of staying outside of the discussion, residing in a morally grey area. One of the reasons this works, is the intriguing character of Nathan played by Oscar Isaac.
In a film of great performances, Isaac manages to stand-out with a strong portrayal of the paranoid genius. When we first meet him, Nathan leaves you feeling quite unnerved as even in the first few minutes we see wildly contrasting sides to his well-being. The character also offers some comic relief and at times it's hard not to feel sympathetic despite some glaring flaws, which is a great achievement by Isaac.
Coupled with last year's magnificent Her, it makes for very interesting viewing. Where Her questioned whether we could love a mass-produced, fully emotional operating system, Ex Machina takes a more physical approach and wonders can we love an A.I. that is presented to us as human. Perhaps the concept isn't an original one, but there is definitely enough new ideas here to warrant a watch. It's a stylish, tense affair that needs to be seen.

inform the company in writing of your intention to return the processor? A verbal notice doesn't comply with the relevant legislation.
2. Was the processor unused, and still in its original packing?
3. Can you give us a timeline - dates on which these calls happened, and the date on which you sent the special delivery letter?
Microland must not charge you a restocking fee, provided a) you notified them within the 7 day period (that's 7 days starting the day after delivery by the way). b) The item is in its original packing and is unused. c) You notified them in writing.
You say you received the processor back when you sent it to Microland - presumably because you hadn't obtained a returns number?

Modeled here by the lovely Rosie the monkey in a picture taken by Chunky.
Chunky and my mom exchange pictures in the mail of their stuffed monkeys doing weird things. After her surgery he received a packet of pictures of mom's stuffed monkey playing nurse. Too damn funny!
I picked this tomato off the vine when it was more orange as opposed to red. I figure it will redden up a bit more after picking. I didn't want to leave it on there much longer in fear it would catch the blossom end rot that plagues my tomatoes.
Many of the older tomatoes on my plants look like this.
Soon it will be time to put the pot garden to bed.
Here's a quick recap of what I've learned my first year of honest pot gardening:
* Remember to pull out the drain pluggers in your pots. If you don't, your nasturtiums will catch mold and start attracting flies.
* Store-bought potatoes CAN be planted!
* The marigolds you get for mother's day, no matter how funky and worm-eaten, will still bloom in August.
* If you put an empty pot where you can't seem to get any seed to take next to the aforementioned mother's day marigold—you'll get another marigold plant.
* Green onions/scallions are easy to grow in a shallow pot.
* Tomatoes should only be planted one plant to a pot.
* Sunflowers can bloom in teeny pots.
* Calcium carbonate (lime) can be purchased at the Dollar Store in the form of generic antacids.
Once September is over and I "turn" my pots and store them for the winter, I want to try my hand at small-space composting. I've found a couple of decent articles online on how to build a teeny compost bin. Once we get some good leaf matter going on in the front yard I'll be able to start a good base for my compost.
I'm also hoping that if I can compost throughout the winter, I'll have some decent stuff to mix in with my soil next season. My white whale next summer will be beating BER!!!
In other non-knitting news, we have a celebrity living with us:
You can tell the weather is getting cooler. As soon as dusk starts to fall Squeaky starts patrol in front of the kitchen cabinets. The good news is is that it appears the mice are no longer living in our stove but have moved the space where the cupboard nearly reaches the wall. I'm sure at one time it may have touched the wall, but it's an old house and this upstairs was converted to be rented out.
Squeaky's up to two kills in two weeks. After we sort through this IRS mess, I'll have to buy some more snappy traps. I had five kills last winter. Squeaky had one. She's gaining on me!
Springs is kind of like Squeaky's Xander. He's well intentioned, but he doesn't have the skills to hurt a mouse.
Squeaky has claws and no problems seizing the mouse in her mouth.
Can you see the tail coming out of one side of her mouth?
Springs is declawed in front and is just too prissy to bite the mouse. He just delicately bats it around. But he's still my sweet little meatykins*!!!
*C'mon, you know you have goofy names for your pets too!

Published: Saturday 20th December 2014 by The News Editor
Sam Allardyce is determined to revel in West Ham's best start to a season in almost 30 years.
Andy Carroll and Stewart Downing were on target in a 2-0 win over Leicester which means the Hammers are fourth in the Barclays Premier League at Christmas.
It is their highest position on December 25 since the 1985-86 season when they finished third.
Questions are bound to be asked if the Hammers can last the distance on this occasion, but with Chelsea and Arsenal the next opposition Allardyce is not looking too far ahead.
"It's not often a team are breaking the barriers everybody else doesn't expect them to break," Allardyce said.
"You should enjoy the moment and continue to enjoy the moment for as long as it lasts. Hopefully it will last for a good while yet.
"We've sustained our position between sixth and fourth in recent weeks. We've a considerable amount of games now. The end of January will tell us what we can possibly achieve.
"It's about the consistency of winning and that is what we've got to challenge ourselves to try to do. You can't afford to slip up too many times if you've played well and you don't win, because you'll end up slipping away and out of the elite end of this league.
"At the moment we're living with it, we're enjoying it and the players who have applied themselves magnificently well all season are reaping the rewards."
Leicester, whose winless run was extended to 12 games, were culpable as West Ham claimed a fourth win in five games.
Paul Konchesky, Barking born and playing against his old club, presented Carroll with the opening goal moments after the Hammers striker had missed a straightforward opportunity.
But there was little Leicester could do to stop Downing's strike, as the playmaker curled a sumptuous shot into the far corner.
Adrian saved well to deny substitutes David Nugent and Leonardo Ulloa late on as West Ham kept a cleansheet in a comfortable win.
The only negative for Allardyce was James Tomkins' departure, as a precaution, due to a hamstring problem.
"We've had a very good day," Allardyce added.
"Everybody expected us to win. We have won. That gives us a little bit of leeway for the next two coming up."
On the goals, Allardyce said: "A very composed finish from Andy on a one-on-one. He missed an easier chance before that.
"The whole team is playing really well, but Stewart crowned off a very good performance again with another goal. His outstanding contributions on a consistent basis have been a revelation for us this season."
While West Ham are on a high, Leicester are bottom.
Only twice before – West Brom in 2004-2005 and Sunderland last season – have the side at the foot of the Premier League standings on Christmas Day avoided relegation.
Leicester boss Nigel Pearson rued his side's failures in both attack and defence.
"Individual mistakes have been costly for us, but you've got to score enough goals and we've just not been doing that," Pearson said.
Pearson was fined £10,000 and given a one-match touchline ban following his altercation with a fan during last month's loss to Liverpool.
But Pearson, who often watches from the stand, was on the touchline at Upton Park as he awaits the written reasons for his punishment from the Football Association.
The supporters sang about the Foxes boss early in the contest.
"It's not a story about me," said Pearson, whose side host Tottenham on Boxing Day.
"What is important is that the fans stay behind the club and the players. "
Pearson has experience of a great escape, having been assistant boss to Bryan Robson at West Brom when they survived on the final day.
"It really is about us making things happen ourselves," Pearson added.
"I look around the dressing room and we've certainly got nobody who's giving up any sort of a fight.
"We're a side experiencing the polar opposite of what we experienced last year and that in itself is difficult. Get back to work and find the answers."

Nuffield HealthScore™ app revealed as finalist at first ever AXA PPP Health Tech & You awards
Nuffield Healthscore has been shortlisted in the 'Keep Me Healthy' category at the first ever AXA PPP Health Tech & You Awards.
The awards, a joint initiative between AXA PPP healthcare, 2020health and the Design Museum, aim to recognise, celebrate and showcase the best in personal health technology innovations – making it more accessible for the benefit of consumers.
Finalist Nuffield Healthscore is a unique and personalised Fitness and Wellbeing app that guides users to make informed and proven lifestyle choices to live a longer, healthier and more active life. Learning about current health status and monitoring daily habits that affect wellbeing, the app generates a single, simple and personal health 'score' between 1 and 1000.
Each individual's score reacts in real-time to reflect activity levels, eating habits, stress and sleep quality as well as any changes in underlying health. As it rises or falls, it helps and guides users to make the most effective small changes to their habits for lasting good health. Healthscore is available on phone, tablet or computer.
Along with Nuffield HealthScore, the shortlist celebrates a unique mix of innovative entries from individuals, designers, developers, entrepreneurs and healthcare professionals from the UK and around the world.
In a novel move, all 24 finalists will be showcased in a public exhibition at the Design Museum in London from 10th March – 26th April 2015. The showcase brings together the best submissions and presents them in an engaging and accessible way to give visitors an insight into this rapidly evolving and increasingly important field.
Divided into six award categories, representatives from the Health Tech & You partners evaluated every entry to select the shortlist of four per category. An overall winner will be announced during an awards ceremony on 18th March, 2015.
Rebecca McCheyne, Nuffield Health Group Digital Services Director, comments:
"To be shortlisted at the first AXA PPP Health Tech & You Awards is something which we are extremely excited about. We see HealthScore as the intelligence layer that sits above tracking devices and apps, analysing the data that users collect and interpreting it into meaningful information to coach the user towards improved health and wellbeing. We have already seen how HealthScore motivates our members to keep healthy and believe that HealthScore can benefit people in the community to help them achieve their health goals."
James Freeston, Marketing Director, AXA PPP healthcare, states:
"We are delighted with the response to the AXA PPP Health Tech & You Awards. The sheer volume and quality of entries really is a true testament to the innovative projects currently being developed and launched by so many individuals and companies in the health tech space."
The finalists' exhibition runs from 10th March – 26th April, 2015 at the Design Museum, Shad Thames, near Tower Bridge, London. The museum is open daily to the public between 10am and 5.45pm.
The winners will be announced at the AXA PPP Health Tech and You awards taking place on 18th March, 2015. See the shortlist here.

Baby is so difficult to feed(26 Posts)
Ok, where to begin! Its a long one!!
Have a gorgeous 4 month old DD who is such a difficult feeder I'm at my wits end. She is fed combination of breast and formula. Had tongue tie which was found by lactose midwife after we were re admitted on day 4. She became colicky at 3weeks, then it seemed to improve and then since about 3 months maybe even more it seemed to get worse, certainly the feeding has become more of an issue: we now have to feed her upright and walking around the house. Having to do this for as soon as we stop or sit down she gets more and more fretful.
I have spd so carrying,walking and feeding can be quite painful.
I try feeding her in bouncy chair and it helps a little but she is clearly uncomfortable: arching, crying, grunting. Was using Infacol but not sure it was doing much. Went to Dr and got some infant gaviscon to try for reflux, well that went down like a ton of bricks, and she refused to take it so can not tell if its reflux or not!
So, not sure what to try next.......
I can hear her tummy or bottom making noises when I'm feeding her and she will pull off the bottle after the first couple of gulps, clearly uncomfortable. She is so windy. So what's happening is she will only feed maybe an ounce at a time, ,then have a bit more in 20 mins, then have a play , then sleep for 30 mins, wake hungry feed a little, take a bit more in another 20 mins etc etc, it continues all day like this. As a result she's a grumpy, fretful thing during the day unless of course she is asleep in the sling on me or someone elses arms then shes happy and content.
Has anyone else had similar problems? Would you recommend gripe water? Change formula? Milk intolerance perhaps? Anyone tried goats milk formula?
Could it still be colic, thought they start to improve around 4months?
Would love to put her more on the breast as she now only takes a feed in the night from the boob. She sleeps thru the night till 4am.
When she was taking more of the boob she was still like this and I was having to walk and breast feed! But this only started around the 3month mark, up until that point we would do usual breast feeding positions. Now she would like the bottle more as I guess it's easier? Anyway, have tried to entice her back to the breast but she not so interested now.
We were using the breastflow bottles to encourage her to stay on the breast, but switched to Dr Browns in the hope that they would help with the colic, yet she is still little Miss Windy Pups!
IIRC- If i remember correctly
If you wanted.... and yhis is only a suggestion, you can buy a tub of aptamil pepti 1 over the counter in boots. It's a hydrolysate formula. Usually has to be ordered in specially but might be woeth a go. It is expensive though and it would ideally be your GP who prescribed it for this reason alone.
I did try weaning early but DS was not interested. Not surprising really given his guts were in a right old state on account of allergic reaction to milk I was feeding him

1234 A.D. - For as long as she can remember, the Lady Adalind de Aston has loved Sir Maddoc du Bois. Being sent away to foster did nothing to cure her of her unending love for Maddoc, a sentiment he did not return. Years later, Adalind returns from fostering as a cultured and beautiful woman. So beautiful, in fact, that tales of her beauty are legendary and a string of hopeful suitors follow her home. Maddoc, now faced with this exquisite and refined creature, is tasked, as the captain of the army, with chasing the suitors away.
One suitor after another is turned away by Maddoc's blade. Some go easily; some do not. Meanwhile, Maddoc has come to know Adalind on an adult level and is coming to think he has been very stupid about rejecting this sweet and beautiful woman. In fact, the more suitors that come around, the more Maddoc finds himself succumbing to Adalind's charms and soon joins the parade of suitors. Adalind is thrilled when the man comes to his senses and offers for her hand. Finally, what she has always dreamed of will soon be hers.
But a new suitor pledges for Adalind's hand, a cunning and powerful knight who will not be deterred by Maddoc. Maddoc and the knight face off in several fights, each one more brutal than the next, until the knight finally challenges Maddoc to the ultimate battle to the death for Adalind's hand. A brutal battle ensues and Adalind, in her attempt to help Maddoc, ends up nearly costing the man his life. As Maddoc lays wounded, presumably dying, the challenger knight abducts Adalind and flees.
Adalind's grandfather is the great David de Lohr, Earl of Canterbury. With Maddoc lingering near death, David gathers some of his oldest and dearest friends to help rescue his granddaughter.

Powerful and captivating!
This one is the best! 5 stars
My favorite character is Maddoc du Bois, a knight with a great skill, also very skilled with ladies.
I have read this book, but I had the chance to sample it, and fell in love with Sean's voice.
I am a huge fan of Kathryn Le Veque's books and this one is my favorite as an audio. She is a talented storyteller that never disappoints me. It's a fast-paced and well written story that I highly recommend, specially if you love medieval stories. This novel is filled with tenderness and action!
- Nicole Laverdure
One of LeVeque's least interesting

Joe My God says noted shitbag Maggie Gallagher thinks that national gay marriage is right around the corner.
The majority on the Supreme Court has clearly accepted that our Founding Fathers guaranteed us all a right to gay marriage in our Constitution, and is just prudentially biding its time — probably two to three years at most — before a case with clear standing gets in Justice Kennedy's hands.
Almost every single one of Maggie Gallagher's predictions have failed to come true, but I hope this one turns out to be accurate.

The University of Puget Sound announced today the recipients of honorary Doctor of Laws degrees at next month's commencement ceremony. UPS President Ronald Thomas will present the honorary degrees to 18-term U.S. Rep. Norm Dicks and Debbie Regala who served as a member of the Metro Parks board, the state House and the state Senate.
Regala is also a graduate of UPS, receiving a degree with the Class of 1968.
Both retired from office at the end of 2012.
"Congressman Dicks and Sen. Regala exemplify the principles of informed and engaged citizenship so central to our educational mission at Puget Sound," Thomas said in a statement.
"Whether you are talking about jobs, social justice, the environment, or the welfare and protection of our nation, Norm and Debbie have been with us and the people of our region with powerful voices of conscience, always ready to learn, to serve, and to lead. It is with great pleasure that we extend this well-deserved recognition from Puget Sound."
The commencement ceremony is set for May 19 at 2 p.m. in Baker Stadium on campus.
