How To Be Intentional On Doing Activities With Your Kids (No Prep!) by Christia Colquitt
Let's face it.
There are only so many hours in a day.
We cannot possibly get everything done or complete our to-do list.
There is just not enough time!
I am all about planning and being intentional, especially when it comes to parenting.
There are so many activities I want to do with my children, but sometimes time gets in the way.
Do you ever find yourself in the same boat?
For about two years now, I have become a subscription box supporter.
Especially ones that send me "ready to do" activities with my kids.
While on this search, I have learned that not all subscription boxes for kids are created equal (and I have tried a lot!)
Our new favorite subscription box is Surprise Ride.
My Top 5 Reasons I love Surprise Ride:
- They provide every single material you need. I mean everything: glue, a plate for the paint, paint brush, paint. If you need it for the activity, it is in the box.
- The themes are fantastic! Both my sons and daughter love the crafts and activities. They are timely and relevant to the season as well.
- The crafts are quality. We have kept and used the crafts, such as the plant we watched grow or the treasure box that my daughter keeps her jewelry in.
- The box is just FUN. Fun for parents and kids alike!
- The whole family can be involved. We have been able to do our boxes with all the kids together. It is a Mini Unit Study that we can do together, and I did not have to prep it!
Let me give you a taste into this box we received last month.
Activity #1:
Create a Treasure Box.
This super cute activity even came with a disposable apron.
We first painted the box and let it dry.
Once dry, the kids decorated the box and placed the treasure inside.
What better snack for a Treasures box than Pirate's Booty?
As usual, the snack choice was a highlight for my kids. They have recently been eating me out of house and home.
Puppy Pirates: X Marks the Spot
Puppy Pirates is an entire series of books! My big boys are all about series so I know we will be reading all about the Puppy Pirates and their adventures.
Activity #2:
Time for a treasure hunt!
The map had two sides.
I let the kids come up with their hunt, first.
Then, I sent them on a Treasure Hunt designed by mom!
The hunt was an absolute blast!
Maybe the cat has a clue??
Sometimes, you need a quick coffee break…
And then, the treasure was found and admired!
The kids played this game of treasure hunt all afternoon, which was perfect for the rainy weather we had this day.
So busy mom, what are you waiting for?
Surprise Ride Box provides entertainment, learning, and most importantly, all the supplies for a fun-filled afternoon.
Make lasting memories with your kids.
Be intentional about doing activities with your kids.
And let Surprise Ride handle the ideas and supplies!

The Gift You Wish Existed When You Were a Kid…
We've all had that panicked moment when we glance at the calendar and realize that the holidays are already here! Where did the year go? While the holidays are a special time for family bonding, delicious meals, and traditions, they also mean the stress of wanting to find the perfect gift to express your love. This is something that actually inspired us to start Surprise Ride. We wanted to find something special to give to our nephews, but found all of the toys in stores to be lacking. We designed Surprise Ride to inspire and enrich two of our favorite family members well beyond the holidays. Here's why Surprise Ride is the gift you wish existed when you were a kid…
Remember those bazillion questions swarming in your head when you were a kid?
Why is the sky blue? How do lizards stick to the ceiling? Where does pizza come from? Who's this Picasso guy I keep hearing about? With Surprise Ride, we set out to get questions like these answered! We believe kids are brilliant, and we teach them something new in every box. We present the information in a fun way so kids are learning while they play! You may even be shocked to learn a thing or two. Did you know that every 37 seconds an airplane takes off or lands in the U.S.? Yup, one is about to land… right… now! Or that bees can carry over 122 times their body weight? Fun surprise facts like these are jam-packed into every box. #staycurious
Did you wish you had more things to talk to Grandma Harriet or Uncle Bob about? The crickets are chirping…
Surprise Ride connects families, even from a distance. As aunts, we struggled with ways to stay connected to our nephews. We designed Surprise Ride to spark conversations between grandparents/aunts/uncles/older siblings and kids. Want to know how to guarantee a monthly phone call, Skype session, or hand-written note from your favorite little one? Send kids a fun surprise from you in their name every month!
Toys are cool for about a minute. The Surprise Ride experience last for months or years.
A video game or new doll can only entertain a kid for so long. With Surprise Ride, each activity takes at least a few hours, and often a couple of days. The book can be read over and over again until a child's imagination is soaring with ideas. Why settle for a gift that fades a few minutes after the initial unwrapping thrill when you can get the gift that keeps on giving?
The dreaded words: "Batteries not included"
Noooooooo! There's nothing worse than an excited child opening a gift only to realize that it requires AA batteries (or an elusive C?) and you forgot to pick some up at the store. With Surprise Ride, we wanted to eliminate any of those awful waits we experienced in our childhoods! Every box comes with all the items you need down to extra paint, batteries, glue, or a disposable apron so you make sure Grandma's sweater stays clean.
You got the same toy as me? You did too? Oh…
Surprise Ride is cool because it's innovative and unique! Sure, you could give your favorite little one the same toy as everyone else… but if you really wanna be a hero, sign them up for something that'll have all their friends saying "Ooooh, I wish I got that!"

Review by "The Binder Ladies" blog
Surprise Ride is just that, a surprise! These amazing monthly boxes were founded by sisters who truly enjoyed their childhood with their father, and all the things they did with him. They are now making this happen for children all over! Family togetherness, education, creativity and fun make up each of these unique boxes. Every Mom or Dad can respect their three basic principles:
1. Kids are brilliant.
2. Curiosity fuels success.
3. Everyone loves getting a surprise in the mail.
I, (Mandy), was sent a Surprise Ride Penguin Box to check out and review. Now I'll be the first to admit, my kids get bored easily. Especially now when the weather is wet and cold, and their mom (myself) is afraid of the flu season. So what happens? They lose interest in being creative and energetic quickly, so I needed something to help feed their creativity fast!
Surprise Ride contends that this is a "monthly box of adventure." I'll have to agree! This month was March of the Penguins! A full length National Geographic book gave so much information and an exclusive inside look at how penguins live and all about their environment, while a two page information booklet gave you all kinds of neat facts on penguins! The boys loved learning about these neat, arctic creatures, and continued to ask questions while being enthralled with the answers that the book gave us. It was really fun reading these together, as a family.
One of the most amazing things that I would have NEVER thought of finding in our Surprise Ride Box was a fleece pillow DIY kit! It's kind of like a tied fleece blanket, only a pillow! I really wanted to try this with the kids, but I got a little craft happy. While the boys were slumbering quietly, I put the pillow together and couldn't believe how easy it was! Revenge for eating my popcorn ball, perhaps? My oldest son LOVES this pillow, and he now refuses to sleep without it. He loves how soft it is, and especially loves the penguin on the front, since he's now been educated in the life of penguins!
This box was truly an amazing experience, and we were left with the reminisce of a snowy Winter around penguins! It fed my kid's imaginations, and fueled their minds for more learning! What I loved was that I could teach them, while I learned about some really fun stuff, myself. It was so much fun! I am going to personally sign up for these monthly kits, and I know the boys are going to LOVE getting their surprises in the mail! Prices are definitely worth the materials that are sent, because they are FULL of great products with a month's worth of imagination, exploring and education. I highly recommend these boxes! Not only Surprise Ride boxes creative genius, they are boxes full of learning, which makes it an amazing adventure, indeed.

Review: "Our Family Nest"
Review: "I Love My Kids"
Review on "I Love My Kids" Blog
Every parent dreads the phrase "I'm bored!" Usually this phrase is uttered by my children in the whiniest voice possible, when I have just started cleaning, cooking, or taking care of another child. I have come to learn that when children say they are bored, many times they want to learn something new. They want a different type of activity and don't know how to create it for themselves. Kids are naturally curious and want to explore, and children learn best through play and creative exploration. I try to keep a supply of activities and sensory learning tools on hand for boredom moments, but with a brand new baby, I was at my wits end trying to come up with activities to keep my kids learning.
When I was introduced to Surprise Ride, I knew it would be a great tool against those whiny, bored moments. Surprise Ride was created by two sisters that struggled to find gifts for their nephews that fostered creative play. They developed Surprise Ride as a full sensory, creative play experience for children ages 6-11.
Each box is full of themed activities, materials full of information, and a healthy snack. Each Surprise Ride creates a perfect unit study. In a unit study, a topic is not only read about, but learners use multiple avenues to interact with the topic. With crafts, fun facts, toys that foster imaginative play, and snacks, children are able to become immersed in the topic. This type of learning has been shown to increase knowledge retention and can lead to further curiosity on the topic.
Our box's theme was POW-WOW and we learned all about Native American culture. Inside we found:
The materials to make a dream-catcher, the materials to create a tribal drum, a rattle, a slide whistle, a worry stone, a booklet teaching us about each item and Native American culture, Pop'd Kerns (These were really delicious; I may have sneaked a few from the kids), and a North American Indian Activity Book
My daughter had a great time creating her very own dream catcher. She needed a little guidance, but loved designing it herself.
My children worked together to assemble the tribal drum and held an impromptu powwow on the porch with the drum, slide whistle, and the rattle. It rained shortly after the powwow, so maybe they successfully did a rain dance.
In the booklet, we were encouraged to come up with Native American names based on activities and animals that we liked. Over the next couple of days, my children would come up with new names for themselves and each family member, based on the activities we were doing.
Even though Surprise Ride is designed for children ages 6-11, my children (ages 3 & 5) were interested and played for over 2 hours. Each item in the box was made of high quality materials and was built to be played with and explored. I loved that we were able to spend a whole afternoon exploring together without them ever asking to watch television or play with my phone. My children have asked more questions about Native Americans, and we've continued to learn about their culture.

Review from "Mommy's Memorandum" Blog
While we were enjoying the chiming of our Mosaic Wind Chime and watching hair grow on our Plant Buddy, the kiddos also enjoy the book that came with the Surprise Ride Subscription Box, Ace LaceWing, Bug Detective: Bad Bugs are My Business. This book follows a detective named Ace LaceWing as he solves bug capers in Motham City! It's clever and cute and the kiddo loved learning about the variety of insects featured and the things that did!
The kiddos also enjoyed sharing the snack bag of Plentils that was included. These crunch lentil chips were enjoyable. Miss M loved the toy, a Solar Powered Flower/Butterfly. It brings a lot of laughter. In the sun it will start waving back and forth as if it is dancing. It's cute.
I love that Surprise Ride comes with everything needed. I wasn't having to run all through our house or all over town trying to secure everything to complete a project. It also included a mixed herb and seed packet as well as a spray bottle. There was also cups, bowls, soil, glue, rubber bands. There was information on gardening herbs and MacKenzie loved the bit about a connection between fairies and wind chimes! I only had to get water for the plant buddy–easy enough!
Each month there is a different theme. The Surprise Ride subscription box arrives with everything you need each month. Past themes have included: chocolate, pirates, art and more!
Surprise Ride is a great subscription box that allows children to unleash their creativity, learn something new and have fun!

Review by "Mommy's Block Party" Blog
Summer came to a quick close almost a month ago for us and we are already back to school. Wow, that was a fast summer and we crammed as much fun in as we could. Now that school is back in session, I still want the kids to have some fun in the evenings, between homework and all of our other activities. One thing they always love is getting mail. B gets the mail everyday after school and the first question is "Did I get anything?" Most days it is just unfun stuff like bills and junk mail, but on special occasions, we get fun surprises!

Review: "A Lucky Lady Bug"
Review from "A Lucky Lady Bug" Blog:
The newest monthly club I was asked to review is Surprise Ride. "Through carefully curated monthly activities, Surprise Ride aims to foster creativity in kids and expand their horizons. With a little hands-on learning and a lot of fun, we help kids exercise that special power of creative genius that empowers them to be tomorrow's innovators. There's no better way for kids to learn than by doing. There's no better time than when they're young and absorbing experiences like a sponge."
We planted a separate set of flowers in the bowl and put our grass guy into a Styrofoam container which we were going to throw away. I loved that this even came with snacks and the book to read on top of all the craft supplies. The boys were very happy with this one and honestly enjoyed every part of it.
Recommendation: I think this was both a fun and educational box that is on a great path to keep kids having fun while learning. I thought that the amount of supplies packed into the box was well worth it although this is on the pricier end of monthly subscription boxes.

With the summer here, I find that I am constantly on the look out for fun activities to keep the kids busy. Finding projects and putting them together, can take up a lot of time all in its own, so finding projects that are all ready put together for the kids is very ideal. Well, that is I what I got when we were sent the Surprise Ride box, delivered to our door for the kids!
This box is part of a subscription box, that comes to your door, ready to be used, and full of exploration and adventure for the kids every month! Each of the boxes are themed boxes, so each month, you and your kids, can work on a new set of projects that each box has in them, ready to go!
We received the June's Surprise: Green Thumb, themed box, which came packed with fun gardening activities! The kids were able to make their own planter buddies, solve a bug mystery with the fun book, grow their own herb garden, design a fun wind chime, all while snacking on some delicious lentil chips!
I like that this box not only comes filled with the activities for the kids to do, but everything we need to complete these activities are in the box, ready to be taken on and enjoyed! I also liked, that in between some of the activities, we could stop for a snack break with the lentil chips while we read the awesome book, Ace Lacewing Bug Detective! Making this great subscription box for kids, a great gift to get your kids or any kids in your life!

TORONTO (Reuters) - Finance Minister Jim Flaherty said on Wednesday there is no G20 agreement to create an International Monetary Fund lending facility for the euro zone.
"There have been discussions for some weeks about IMF resources and the possibility of increasing IMF resources," Flaherty told reporters in Ottawa.
"There are some nuances to the positions of some countries, but I assure you there has been no commitment by the G20 to any specific resourcing plan."
Japan's Nikkei newspaper reported in its online edition that the Group of 20 advanced and emerging economies planned to put together such a facility and that key members such as Japan, the United States and China would contribute to the facility.
Flaherty reiterated Ottawa's position that European countries have sufficient resources and that the IMF should use the funds to help poor nations. Canada has no interest in contributing to a euro zone rescue through the IMF, he said.
There have been "discussions for some weeks about IMF resources and the possibility of increasing IMF resources. Our position remains that the euro zone members need to use their own resources in the first instance to address their issues," he said.
Flaherty also said there was a "legitimate concern" that Canada could experience another credit crunch if the European crisis deteriorates, even though bank exposure to debt-ridden European countries is "controllable".

Does anyone know if I can get glass/crystal doors for the double doors on the front?
Not on the old pre-EPA Defiants. And even if it was an option it would darken up quite quickly due to the lack of air wash. Some of the Vigilants had them. But, after a few burns it just became a hazy glow.
that is fine i just want to know because i know a guy that offered me his fisher for it if you could get glass doors for it and it i would rather put the fisher in my garage since the defiant is coming out of the basement and my sierra is going in it.

This application claims benefit under Title 35, United States Code �119(e) of U.S. Provisional Application No. 60/960,640 filed on Oct. 9, 2007.
This application incorporates by reference the contents of U.S. Pat. No. 7,708,722, in its entirety.
The following invention relates to medical devices which are implanted subcutaneously to provide a therapeutic benefit for a patient at the implantation site. More particularly, this invention relates to subcutaneously implanted medical devices which have a low profile form for minimally invasive implantation through a small incision, but which can be adjusted in form to have a highly stable configuration after implantation to resist movement after implantation. Such medical devices could be in the form of pacemakers, infusion devices, such as infusion pumps, vascular access ports, or other medical devices which are taught in the prior art to be implanted subcutaneously to provide a therapeutic benefit within a patient.
A variety of medical conditions have been identified where implantation of a medical device is indicated. Such medical devices can include pacemakers, infusion pumps, vascular access ports, nerve stimulators, spinal stimulators, etc. Each of these medical devices generally include some form of housing which at least partially contains portions of the medical device apparatus to isolate this medical device apparatus from bodily fluids or bodily structures outside of the housing. Furthermore, typically some form of interface extends out of the housing to interact with surrounding bodily systems. For instance, in the case of a pacemaker electrodes extend from the housing as electrical leads which are coupled to nerves of the heart which, when receiving electrical stimulus from the pacemaker, cause the heart to beat. Infusion pumps include an outlet tube passing into a location where the preparation being infusion is to be delivered. For instance, if the infusion pump is infusing a pain medication, it would typically be implanted into a vascular structure, such as into a vein of the patient.
With such prior art medical devices, such implantation has required that the medical device be configured and positioned in a way that keeps the medical device stationary within the body. Such configuration has generally involved shaping the devices to be generally flat and either circular or square/rectangular in form (viewed from above). "Twiddlers Syndrome" refers to a situation where a subcutaneous medical device has been manipulated by the patient (or sometimes spontaneously) and flipped over upon itself one or more times, so that the device function is adversely affected. This can lead to fracture of output devices and potential failure of the medical device.
The shape of these medical devices requires that a relatively large incision be made to pass the medical device through the skin during surgical implantation of the medical device. As the size of the incision increases, the difficulty associated with hiding the incision from visual detection by others is increased. Generally, patients appreciate having small incisions when medical devices are to be implanted. With known prior art technology of the shape described above, such incisions have not been minimized. To some extent electronics and other components within a housing of the medical device can be miniaturized to minimize a size of the medical device and hence the required incision. However, such miniaturization has limits and other complications are associated with such miniaturization including enhanced cost and potentially reduced battery life, reduced storage capacity for medical preparations to be delivered and other potentially adverse effects. Accordingly, a need exists for a way to configure a medical device so that it can maintain fully beneficial operation while facilitating implantation through a reduced size incision. A solution to this problem would beneficially also be at least as resistant to "Twiddlers Syndrome" as prior art medical devices.
With this invention an implantable medical device is provided which can be implanted through a relatively small incision and yet maintain full stability at the implantation site. The medical device includes a housing which has an elongate form. This elongate form is defined by a long axis extending between front and rear ends thereof and a lateral axis extending between lateral sides of the housing. The long axis is longer than the lateral axis, and typically at least about twice as long as the lateral axis.
Equipment within the housing for the medical device is configured as appropriate to fit within this elongate housing, rather than in prior art housings which are generally either circular in form or rectangular/square in form. With such an elongate form, it is only necessary that an incision be provided large enough to allow the passage of the lateral cross-section of the housing, perpendicular to the long axis, to pass through the incision. For instance, if the housing is two inches long, one-half inch wide and one-half inch high, an incision of one-half inch in length (or slightly greater) is sufficient to allow passage of the housing of the medical device therethrough.
Furthermore, a stabilizing element is associated with the housing. This stabilizing element has both an elongate narrow form and a deployed wide lateral form to enhance stability of the housing and hence the entire medical device at the implantation site. This stabilizing element can be in the form of one or more wings pivotably attached to the housing. These wings have an elongate form between ends thereof with these ends aligned with the long axis of the housing during implantation. After the housing and wing have arrived at the implantation site, the wing can be rotated so that the ends thereof extend laterally away from lateral sides of the housing to stabilize the medical device. Once so stabilized, the medical device has just as much (or more) stability at the implantation site as it would have if it was not provided with this particularly elongate form. Hence, a small incision has been facilitated without any adverse impact on functionality of the medical device.
In another form, this stabilizing element is in the form of a separate loop and the housing is provided with a cavity therein with a rear opening and at least one (and preferably two) lateral side opening. The loop is routed through the rear opening and then is caused to expand within the cavity to expand out the at least one side opening to provide enhanced stability to the medical device. The loop can be bent within the cavity to extend laterally out of the side openings to stabilize the housing. Alternatively, the loop can be formed of a resilient material which is initially restrained into an elongate form aligned with the long axis of the housing, but which springs to a natural original form after passing into the cavity where portions of the loop extend out the lateral side openings of the cavity, to stabilize the housing after the loop has been inserted entirely within the cavity.
Accordingly, a primary object of the present invention is to provide a medical device which can pass through a reduced size incision while maintaining stability at an implantation site subcutaneously within the body of a patient.
Another object of the present invention is to provide a medical device which can be implanted into a subcutaneous implantation site within the body of a patient.
Another object of the present invention is to provide a method for implanting a medical device and stabilizing the medical device once implanted.
Another object of the present invention is to provide a subcutaneous implantable medical device which has a small cross-section for implantation through a small incision which maintains high stability once implanted.
Another object of the present invention is to provide a medical device which can morph between a smaller profile implantation form and a larger profile static implanted form after being implanted at an implantation site.
Another object of the present invention is to provide a pacemaker which can be implanted through a small incision and still maintain stability once implanted.
Another object of the present invention is to provide a medical device which can be stabilized after implantation with the stabilization process easily and reliably performed by a medical professional.
Other further objects of the present invention will become apparent from a careful reading of the included drawing figures, the claims and detailed description of the invention.
Referring to the drawings, wherein like reference numerals represent like parts throughout the various drawing figures, reference numeral 10 (
In essence, and with particular reference to
More specifically, and with continuing reference to
The housing 20 generally includes a perimeter 22 including opposite ends 24 and opposite sides 26 extending between the ends 24. The housing 20 also includes a bottom 25 spaced from a top. The housing 20 in this preferred embodiment generally has a constant cross-section size between the bottom 25 and the top and preferably a thickness between the bottom 25 and the top that is similar to a width between the sides 26. The ends 24 and sides 26 are preferably substantially planar, but can be somewhat rounded if desired.
Importantly, the housing 20 exhibits an elongate form so that the ends 24 are spaced further from each other than a spacing between the sides 26 and a spacing between the bottom 25 and the top. Most preferably, this amount of elongation is such that a length of the housing 20 along a long axis between the ends 24 is at least about twice as great as a length of a lateral axis extending between the sides 26. The housing 20 can exhibit a greater degree of elongation with the length between the ends 24 more than twice as great as a width between the sides 26, or slightly less than this preferred amount and still benefit from the concept of this invention.
The pacemaker 10 is shown with an axle 30 extending down from the bottom 25 of the housing 20 perpendicular to the long axis and perpendicular to the lateral axis of the housing 20. While this axle 30 is not strictly required, it is beneficially provided to allow for pivotable attachment of the wing 40 to the bottom 25 of the housing 20. As an alternative to the separate axle 30, an axle-like structure can be formed into the housing 20 or the wing 40 to cooperate with a hole in the housing 20 or the wing 40. When the axle 30 is utilized, it fits within an appropriate cylindrical hole extending into the bottom 25 of the housing 20 and through the wing 40. This axle 30 is preferably cylindrical in form and has a length merely sufficient to extend a distance similar to a thickness of the wing 40.
With continuing reference to
Most preferably, the wing 40 has a perimeter size slightly less than the perimeter 22 of the housing 20. As an alternative, the wing 40 could be precisely the same perimeter size as the housing 20 or could be slightly larger than a perimeter 22 of the housing 20 and still function adequately according to this invention. Importantly, the wing 40 is preferably also elongate in form with a length about twice (or more) that of a width thereof.
The wing 40 is adapted to rotate relative to the housing 20 (along arrow A of
Electrical leads 50 or outlet tubes 60 preferably extend from one of the ends 24 of the housing 20 or some other portion of the housing 20. To keep the wing 40 in its deployed position, it is conceivable that the bottom 25 of the housing 20 and the top of the wing 40 could be configured so that they include appropriate detent structures so that the wing 40 snaps into a final deployed position once rotated relative to the housing 20. Alternatively, holes can be formed in the housing 20 and the wing 40 which can receive sutures to tie the wing 40 in its open position relative to the housing 20.
Should the pacemaker 10 or other medical device require removal, the wing 40 can merely be rotated back to its implantation position by overcoming forces associated with the detents in the wing 40 and the housing 20, or by severing sutures to allow the wing 40 to freely rotate back to its implantation position with a long axis of the wing 40 aligned with a long axis of the housing 20. Whenever such implantation or removal occurs, a relatively small incision is required to pass through the skin and yet a stable medical device is still provided.
While the wing 40 is shown as a preferred form of stabilizing element, other forms of stabilizing elements could also be utilized including spring loaded stabilizing elements which automatically deploy after passing through the skin or reaching the incision site. Also, the wing 40 could be in the form of a pair of wings (
The wing 40 can be rotated after the medical device has reached the implantation site or immediately after passing through an incision in the skin. Such rotation can occur manually, such as through use of an appropriate probe or manipulation with the fingers. Most preferably, such rotation is achieved through use of a spring that biases the wing 40 to its deployed position extending laterally from the housing 20 long axis. Such a spring can be a torsion spring adjacent the axle 30 and contained within a recess in the wing 40 adjacent the axle 30, and/or a recess in the bottom of the housing 20 adjacent the axle 30. The spring could be formed of a biocompatible metal such as titanium (or alloys thereof) or made of a biocompatible plastic or other other non-metal material. The spring could also be a linear compression spring or other linear force applying spring located further from the axle 30 and interposed between the wing 40 and the housing 20. With such a spring, the wing 40 is both advanced to the deployed configuration and held in the deployed configuration after rotation. Further support in the deployed position can be provided by detents or suturing also.
With particular reference to
Uniquely, the housing 120 includes a cavity 130 therein. Preferably, this cavity 130 is closer to the bottom 125 than to the top 128 and has a planar form within a plane perpendicular to a vertical axis and aligned with both a long axis and a lateral axis for the housing 120. A long axis is defined as an axis extending from the front end 122 to the rear end 124 and the lateral axis is defined as an axis extending between the sides 126. The cavity 130 includes a roof 132 which is planar in form and spaced a constant distance away from a floor 134. An abutment wall 135 defines a wall extending from the roof 132 to the floor 134 on a side of the cavity 130 adjacent the front end 122 of the housing 120. The cavity 130 also includes side openings 136 extending out sides 126 of the housing 120 and a rear opening 138 extending out of the rear end 124 of the housing 120.
A loop 140 is provided as a preferred form of stabilizing element which can reside within the cavity 130 and extend laterally out of at least one of the side openings 136 and preferably both of the side openings 136 to stabilize the housing 120 after implantation. The loop 140 in this preferred form shown includes four legs 142 joined together by a front joint 146, side joints 144 and a rear joint 148. The front joint 146 is located adjacent the abutment wall 135. The rear joint 148 is adjacent the rear opening 134. The side joints 144 are adjacent the side openings 136. The loop 140 is sized so that the side joints 144 extend out of the side openings 136 and enhance an effective width and footprint of the housing 120 of the first alternative pacemaker 110. An interface port 150 extends from the housing 120 which can be in the form of electric leads or a fluid tube depending on the type of medical device provided, such as the pacemaker 110.
While a continuous loop 140 is shown, other stabilizing elements could be provided of similar form but not a complete loop. For instance, any one of the joints might be omitted so that adjacent legs 142 end at free ends, and such a modified loop would still function somewhat effectively.
The loop 140 can be deployed a variety of different ways relative to the cavity 130 of the housing 120. In one embodiment the loop 140 can be provided within the cavity 130 during implantation. The loop 140 can be sufficiently flexible that as the pacemaker 110 is advanced through an incision, the side joints 144 are merely flexed towards each other as they pass through the incision. The loop 140 would be formed of a resilient material so that the side joints 144 would spring to a natural original position (along arrow C of
Alternatively, the loop 140 could be formed of a plastically deformable material, such as a surgical stainless steel with thin cross-section legs 142 and initially reside within the cavity 130, but passing out of the rear opening 138 somewhat and not passing out of the side openings 136. After reaching the implantation site, the rear joint 148 would be advanced toward the front joint 146 and the loop 140 would be caused to bend so that the side joints 144 would bend away from each other and out of the side openings 136.
As another alternative, the loop 140 could be formed as bendable material but be advanced later, such as through a cannula (along arrow B of
With particular reference to
Uniquely, a pair of wings 240, 250 are pivotably attached to the axle 230 of the housing 220. In particular, these wings 240, 250 include a top wing 240 and a bottom wing 250. The top wing 240 is closer to the bottom 225 of the housing 220 and includes a hub 242 adjacent the axle 230 with a hole therein that allows the top wing 240 to be mounted to the axle 230. Arms 244 extend in opposite directions away from the hub 242 to tips 246. A recess 245 is provided adjacent the hub 242 into which the bottom wing 250 can partially reside so that the top wing 240 and bottom wing 250 can remain within a substantially common plane with each other both before and after rotation thereof. Preferably, at least one of the tips 246 of the top wing 240 includes a bevel 248 thereon on a portion of the top wing 240 which extends most rearwardly on the top wing 240.
The bottom wing 250 includes a hub 252 adapted to be mounted on the axle 230 and adapted to reside within the recess 245 in the top wing 240. The bottom wing 250 is most distant from the bottom 225 of the housing 220. Arms 254 extend in opposite directions away from the hub 252 to tips 256. Preferably, at least one of the tips 256 includes a bevel 258 thereon on a portion of one of the arms 254 which extends most rearwardly. This bevel 258 preferably at least partially faces the bevel 248 of the top wing 240.
The wings 240, 250 are each adapted to rotate relative to each other and relative to the housing 220 (arrows E and F). Initially, the wings 240, 250 reside substantially within a perimeter 222 of the housing 220. After rotation (along arrows E and F) the wings 240, 250 extend outside this perimeter 222 of the housing 220 to enhance the stability of the pacemaker 210 or other alternative medical device.
Preferably, a cannula 260 can be placed adjacent the pacemaker 210 and a spreader rod 270 can be advanced through the cannula 260 and pressed between the bottom wing 250 and top wing 240. The spreader rod 270 can press against the bevel 248 and bevel 258 to cause simultaneous rotation of the top wing 240 and bottom wing 250 in opposite directions relative to each other and relative to the housing 220. Such rotation preferably occurs for at least 45� so that the wings 240, 250 form an "X." A rather desirable stabilized form would involve rotation of 60� so that the wings 240, 250 and ends 224 of the housing 220 would define six peripheral ends for the overall final implanted pacemaker 210 or other implanted medical device. Advancement of the spreader rod 270 along arrow D (
The medical device 210 can have the pair of wings advanced and held in the deployed position by action of a spring, similar to that described in conjunction with the embodiment of

How Stormont failure will hit your household budget
Northern Ireland's devolved Government's has failed to approve a budget for 2017-18. It was scheduled for early December but was overtaken by events. There may be no approved budget until well into the new financial year and an early casualty is likely to be a delay in sending out rates bills.
The outgoing Executive had agreed that, rather than a four-year plan, only a one-year budget for 2017-18 would be prepared.
Our budget arrangements contrast sharply with Scotland. In December, Scotland published its budget for 2017-18, reflecting the impact of a much wider range of budgetary powers.
Within the last year the Scottish Government has agreed a series of changes to the scope of the Scottish budget, including devolution of responsibility for the setting of income tax rates for the first time.
Northern Ireland still operates what is essentially an expenditure model with most tax revenue determined by Westminster. The Scottish Government's ambition is to demonstrate that Scotland might be self-financing which, in turn, links to the debate about possible Scottish independence. That motivation of the Scottish Government is heavily influenced by the allocation to Scotland of tax revenue from North Sea oil and gas supplies. More recently lower international oil prices have dented that expectation.
The Scottish Budget statement for 2017-18 is an impressive document. However, there is evidence of an ambitious administration mixing the support of the UK fiscal systems with an impressive degree of local discretion. In the areas of education, health and housing, larger Scottish spending differences are well documented - particularly with the rejection of university fees for Scottish undergraduate students.
Using the agreement on the devolution of responsibility for critical parts of personal taxation, for the first time the Scottish Government has set slightly more onerous income tax rules for higher income earners in Scotland. Well-paid Scots will pay slightly more income tax than elsewhere. Scottish devolution now extends to Land and Buildings Transactions Tax (often called stamp duty), Scottish landfill tax and (potentially) air passenger duty. In total, devolved taxation may account for nearly 40% of Scottish government spending.
The widening of budgetary discretion in Scotland has largely passed unnoticed in Northern Ireland. There has been little local public debate about the merits of parallel local income tax changes. In contrast to the Northern Ireland debate on setting lower rates of corporation tax, there seems little demand for that change in Scotland.
For the next Northern Ireland budget much of the scope for local discretion has already been earmarked. The absence of direct charges for water to domestic customers, the comparatively much lower charges for local rates, combined with the special treatment of aspects of welfare reform (including the deferral of housing benefit changes), all involve spending that might otherwise be available for other public services.
Northern Ireland is in a weak position to ask the Treasury for extra funding. That issue stands completely separately from the unfinished business of funds for the flawed RHI (renewable heat initiative). We now face a new budget year 2017-18, with no agreed Stormont budget in place and doubt about the ability to issue of rates bills which would be due from April 2017. The prospect of ratepayers is of having no bills to pay for some months, and then a catch-up demand later in the year is, at best, an unwelcome hazard.

Eczema and the microbiome
The relationship between our body and the bacteria that live in harmony with us (the microbiome) is one of the most fascinating developments in medicine. Thousands of bacterial species live on our body - on our skin, in the mucosa and in our digestive tracts. It now seems that mass destruction of those bacteria through obsessive washing and the sterilising of our environment may not be doing us any favours. Research on probiotics was thin on the ground until the turn of the century then evidence began to appear showing the benefits of probiotics to re-establish healthy gut flora after the use of antibiotics. Since that time evidence has been published on the relationship between an unhealthy microbiome and everything from cancer and Crohn's disease to cognitive decline and allergies. A balanced microbiome is one of the most important contributors to staying healthy and new evidence suggests that getting it right should start before birth. A paper published this month analysed the relationship between probiotic use during pregnancy and the prevention of eczema in infants. Results showed that in children whose mothers had taken probiotics during pregnancy or who had received probiotics themselves in the first 6 months of their life, the incidence of eczema was much lower.
The challenges for medicine now are to identify the good guys and the bad guys and the right balance between the thousands of bacteria in the microbiome.

Just a few pointer notes. When you're refering the name to someone, it's dawg. And the dog is Potts. _ Short, but snappy.

I liked this. Chica is very determined and she's already getting pissed about the whole thing. I like how you didn't make her perfect as some people make their characters. Everyone has flaws. Even the cartoon and comic superheros. Good job.

Indeed i knew some of the "tricks" to say so, but also I found 2 of them that I didn't know and I think can be very helpful. So, on my side, if you are a newbie, it's worth it, if you are more advanced probably not, bu anyways, for it was good.

Below I've placed the itinerary for our upcoming holiday in Italy. I've included the dates in the event something particular is called to mind (festivals, closings, and so forth). The driving days are set based on the reserved house/trulli/apartment; asterisks only denote market days for the given city.
Our plan is generally to sightsee in the mornings and then return to our rental (with pool) for the afternoon. We did that last year in Provence and it was a winning combination; plus, none of us thought wandering a city closed for siesta in the heat of late June would be any fun.
1. Do we have too little scheduled for the first week in Puglia? Travelers are two adults, two teens (and one DDog). We're happy to wander interesting towns and see what there is to see; once the teens reach their daily limit of "old stuff" they usually take off on their own.
2. Can anyone suggest an easy plan to park as near as possible to Trevi fountain on our travel-via-Rome day? It being that the coins the children threw in the fountain in 2007 have us returning to the area, more or less, the teens want to throw another coin into the fountain for the future. We'll pause for lunch before continuing to Magione.
We have visited Venice previously, so the overnight is really just to break up the driving and eat more great food.
Thank you, in advance.
13 June Saturday: Drive Vienna to Ravenna (7.5 hours)

Itinerary Tweaks and Tips, Please
Below I've placed the itinerary for our upcoming holiday in Italy. I've included the dates in the event something particular is called to mind (festivals, closings, and so forth). The driving days are set based on the reserved house/trulli/apartment; asterisks only denote market days for the given city.

It appears to be that you are spending very little time in Ravenna, maybe too little to see the mosaics (including the basilica 10kms in Classe). The mosaics are the most colorful and important of artworks you will see until you get back north in Assisi. So I would try to spend longer if possible. Maybe one night in Ravenna, a full day of sightseeing the next, but spend the night down the road at the seaside in Cesanatico, get a late afternoon swim (or morning one).
I would skip Brindisi.
It is possible there is a classical music festival going on during the time you will be in Martina Franca, not sure, but it would affect parking availablity I would guess and it might be something you would enjoy.
I would spend the night in Matera, in a cave.
Assisi will be quite crowded with pilgrims and tourists. I would try to time the arrival when the crowds have died down.
Visiting Perugia, try to make a stop just outside the city walls at the Etruscan tomb. It's wonderful.
In Italy, the Spanish siesta is called "la pausa". It is quite extended in Puglia and Basilicata, but the compensation is that the evenings are quite lively.
Hope everybody is good natured about being in a car so much of the time, including the pooch. Don't expect a lot of roadside services in southern Italy, so keep your car topped up with gas and always have lots of water for all.
Report Abuse
I should have been clearer, sorry. Ravenna is "just" an overnight to break up the drive (we can not leave earlier than 13 June because of school). DH and I are saving Ravenna, Modena, Parma and what we missed in Bologna (from a previous holiday) for another trip sans children.
Why skip Brindsi? What might we add instead?
This will be our fourth visit and third road trip to Italy, and we're all longtime veterans of the DC to Cape Cod summer road trip holiday. DDog will be asleep in the back of the station wagon and the teens will have movies running on their laptops before we hit the Vienna city line, no doubt.
Report Abuse
Then why stay in Ravenna? It will be difficult to get in there and park and more expensive the other places. Athough the food in Ravenna is fine, you will get better and cheaper many other places.
My suggestions for alternates would be Cesnantico or Dozza, which are interesting places to walk around even for kids.
Brindisi does not have many outstanding worth-the-drive attractions. Would Castel del Monte fit into your itinerary at some point? If it were me, I would generally push things up so you could spend the night in Matera. One of the more beautiful attractions of that area is the small Crypt of the Original Sin, but you need to go with a guide to see it, so it takes a while, so it is not easy to fit into just a day trip.
If you go to Gallipoli, be sure to the underground olive oil mills.
I don't find driving in Italy to be as easy as the I-95, and some of Puglia's roads are bone-shakers. But I don't know how you can take the dog without driving the whole distance, so glad to hear you've got some road warrior experience under your belt.
Report Abuse
Have you got the appropriate paperwork/clearances for the dog? It's not as easy as you think.
Report Abuse
Also, the Trevi Fountain is closed (as in no water running and covered in scaffold) for renovations/restoration work until probably October so if this is your sole reason for stopping there, then maybe reconsider.
I assume you know about Rome's ZTL zones? You can't drive into the historic centre without incurring massive fines. You would need to park outside this zone and take public transportation to the Trevi Fountain or anywhere nearby.
Report Abuse
Blueeyedcod, DDog has a pet passport (honestly!) for EU travel; it was a requirement when we moved overseas. His photo graces the cover, and the book contains all of his vaccination records. We've only had to produce it once, when crossing into Romania. We're well-versed on ZTL's; and I especially thank you for the information on Trevi Fountain!
sandralist, Castel del Monte might fit since we are no longer routing through Rome, thanks for the tip. I'll see if we can find a place in Cesnantico or Dozza, as well.
Thanks again.
Report Abuse
You will need a holiday after that trip....
We were in Lecce and Matera last month (I wrote a short report on the trip). I'm not sure you are giving yourself enough time in either place.
I'm not sure I agree with sandralist about trying to spend the night in a cave in Matera. Then again, maybe I'm just a bit old and fond of my comforts!
For us Castel del Monte was worth seeing as it fitted easily into our route and schedule, and had been on my architectural "must see" list for a while. Otherwise I would not recommend a major detour to see it. Be aware that it's effectively empty inside.
Report Abuse
Some of the lodgings in cave houses in Matera are quite luxurious, and even those that are more b&b in nature and modestly priced are comfortable.
If you learn about the houses in the Sassi in Matera you will discover that even before electricity and conventional running water, they had a lot of amenities because they are built in such a way that they circulate air and create water with the natural action of humidity on the stone.
But the modern hotels withi the Sassi/cave system have all the mod-cons. Were I traveling with kids, it would by a priority for me to live in such a dwelling for at least one night.
Report Abuse
Brindisi is basically a port city with access to Greece etc. Not the greatest but not the worst. I might move the time to Lecce but you could also use the time at Gravina (for the cave churches) or Gioia del Colle for the Norman castle.
Report Abuse
autodidact, yes, I read your report and asked a couple of planning questions. This holiday became what it is because of an unanticipated need to return early to Vienna; otherwise, we would have extended the time a bit. The second week is rushed, no doubt. Venice is an overnight to break up the driving; we spent five days there last October so our overnight will mainly be for more photos and great food.
sandralist, the housing is set, alas. We have two nights in a modern-equipped Trulli; the cave night in Matera will have to wait for another visit.
Our holiday is what it is; having the privilege to live in Europe, we enjoy whatever we can, wherever we are. Just this week DDog and I explored two castle ruins; and our son and I toured a stunningly beautiful Stift and its gardens here in Austria, none of which will likely cross a tourist path. In the end we'll never see it all. In posting our itinerary I was hoping to glean the helpful information that I have (Trevi Fountain, better lodging outside Ravenna, etc.) and I sincerely appreciate it.
Thank you all, and please keep the helpful information coming!
Report Abuse
bilboburglar, thanks. Norman castles hold great appeal to us, though one of the teenagers wants to see the Roman columns that mark the end of the Appian Way. We thought it would be a good add-on to a morning in Ostuni before returning to the rental villa and its pool for the afternoon?
Report Abuse
There are a number of Appian ways, a bit like a motorway that got rebuilt off and on over the hundreds of years. But basically wherever you are there will be signs or TI will know. Just a point Tourist Info offices tend to move and be badly signposted (I think they get cheap rents and since they know where the office is they don't need to tell anyone else) so use GPS. You'll also see these cast brass maps in many Puglian towns, if you can work out how to use them, you'll be the first.
The Gioia Norman castle is built into the town and so tricky to find, but there are signs etc. Outside of town is an old Roman Town, tickets can be bought at the Norman castle (not at the Roman town site!).
Report Abuse
I think it is misleading to say there are a number of Appian ways (the "newer" renovation largely simply runs parallel to it) and it's especially misleading if there is a specific interest in seeing the columns that mark the end of THE Appian Way. If I knew a young person was especially interested to see that, I would certainly keep Brindisi on the list of destinations. In my experience, it is rare enough when younger travelers have a particular curiousity about an educational, historic site, and it indeed makes the nature of the Roman empire more vivid to see the original Roman roads and ports with one's own eyes.

Social Problems Instructor ResourcesTeaching Materials for Social Problems: An Advocate Group Approach by Sara Towe Horsfall
Social Problems represents a truly innovative and empowering approach to social problems. Instead of focusing solely on a seemingly tireless list of major problems, Sara Towe Horsfall considers how select key issues can be solved and pays particular attention to the advocate groups already on the front lines. Horsfall first provides a robust theoretical foundation to the study of social problems before moving on to the problems themselves, examining each through the lens of specific advocate groups working towards solutions. This concise and accessible text also incorporates useful learning tools including study questions to help reinforce reading comprehension, questions for further thought to encourage critical thinking and classroom discussion, a glossary of key terms, and a worksheet for researching advocate groups. Social Problems: An Advocate Group Approach is an essential resource for social problems courses and for anyone who is inspired to effect change.
This instructor resource page is designed to enhance the content of Social Problems: An Advocate Group Approach in order to help you plan your course and better engage students. If you have any suggestions on how to improve the book or the online resources, please contact Westview Press at email@example.com.

RepairPal is your advocate for car care advice and guidance
Q: Fuel Pump on 1994 Chevrolet Suburban 1500
Is the fuel pump located in the tank & if so do you need to drop the tank to replace it?
| |
Labor time according to the labor guide is 2 to 3 hours depending on whether there is a tank shield or not 2WD or 4WD. The gas tank needs to be drained, the shield and gas tank straps removed. carefully disconnect the filler neck and evaporative emission control hoses, fuel out and fuel return hoses. Some hoses may require a "disconnect tool" any parts store has them they are made by a company called Lisle and are about $15 for a little set of tools. It consists of a sleeve that slips over the fuel line ,pushes into the fuel line connector and disengages a retaining clip. Be careful fitting the rubber O ring that seals the fuel gauge/fuel sender unit or you may end up with a evap code or fuel leak.
yes i believe it is and you do have to drop the tank.
yes. and yes
Didn't find what you were looking for?
