1. Field of the Invention
The present invention relates to changing pads, and to seats with strapping devices for infants.
2. Description of the Related Art
Many caregivers of infants find it convenient to carry very young infants in a semi-reclining position in a carry seat. Such a seat provides excellent support for an infant who cannot yet sit up alone. However, as the infant grows heavier, carrying the infant in this manner quickly becomes difficult and awkward. The seats for children provided in typical strollers, high chairs, shopping carts, and the like are designed for older babies and toddlers and do not provide sufficient support for an infant who cannot sit up alone.
The child seats of shopping carts have other problems. Babies often find them uncomfortable. Safety for the child is a well-known problem with shopping carts. While some stores provide safety belts to surround the child's waist, many others do not. Even if a waist belt is provided, a very small or active child may be able to slip through it, since the surface of a typical seat in a shopping cart has a slippery surface.
Strapping devices are known for securing babies in shopping carts; however, such devices are often bulky and take up space in a diaper bag. Further space in a diaper bag is taken up by the need for carrying a separate changing pad.
U.S. Pat. No. 3,489,194 to Hoover discloses a diaper changer bag. The bag has a rectangular cushioned pad with zippers on the sides and handles on the ends. Cushioning is provided by polyurethane foam, which can be removed for washing. Unfolded flat, the pad provides a diapering station. Folded, the pad forms a compact unit like a brief case. A separate inside pouch with compartments for bottles, soiled diapers, and other items fits inside the foldable pad.
U.S. Pat. No. 4,566,130 to Coates teaches a diapering station which can also be used as a carrying bag for infant accessories. The station has a middle section, two end sections which fold over the middle section, and a handle for carrying. A removable pouch stores dirty diapers and provides a waterproof changing surface. Diapers are used for cushioning. A pocket in one of the end sections stores clean diapers, bottles, and other infant accessories.
U.S. Pat. No. 4,698,862 to Mairs discloses a combination bassinet, baby carrier, and diaper bag which includes a shell, a resilient pad, and a padded liner. The shell is collapsible and can be used alone as a tote bag for carrying baby items, or with the pad and liner as a padded bassinet. The shell may have pockets for storage. The liner can be used alone as a front or back carrier for carrying a baby strapped to an adult's torso. Straps hold the baby in a vertical position when used as a carrier. The liner can also be used as a car seat cover.
U.S. Pat. No. 4,723,300 to Aranow teaches a convertible tote bag. Zipped open and unfolded flat, the bag can be used for diapering and includes an absorbent pad under the baby. The bag has a carrying handle at each end and exterior pockets. A flap with Velcro (trademark) fasteners holds the bag shut.
U.S. Pat. No. 4,886,150 to Fitzsimmons discloses a baby changing device and diaper bag. The device includes a rectangular panel with a central change area, bordered by a pair of end panels containing pockets. For carrying, the ends are folded over the change area to form a compact, purse-like article. Handles are provided at each end of the change area. A changing pad is attached to the change area with Velcro (trademark) strips.
U.S. Pat. No. 4,917,505 to Bullard et al. discloses a rectangular pad with an outer liquid-impervious layer and an inner cushioning layer of plastic foam. Unfolded, the pad serves for diaper changing. The pad can be folded to form a bag, or into a U-shaped configuration for use as a sun visor on a stroller or other carrier. Fastening strips allow the pad to be fastened to the carrier or secured closed. The pad includes a pocket for insect netting.
U.S. Pat. No. 5,207,508 to Koutsis, Jr. teaches a convertible sack which in various embodiments functions as a tote, blanket, diaper bag, changing pad, seat, tent, etc. The sack is converted from a flat surface to a sack by pulling a cord through access openings.
U.S. Pat. No. 5,829,829 to Celestina-Krevh discloses an adjustable and removable head support for an infant or toddler, for use in a car seat. The support has an upper body portion with two flanking pillow sections, a pair of harness belt apertures, a central portion, and a lower portion with a pair of flanking leg pillow sections. The upper pillow sections are attached by flexible securing straps so the lateral separation can be adjusted. A soft foam material serves as padding.
U.S. Pat. No. 5,829,835 to Rogers et al. teaches a convertible shopping cart seat liner and diaper bag. The seat liner has a flexible container with a bottom and front, rear, and side walls attached to the four edges of the bottom. The container is sized and shaped to flexibly position within a shopping cart seat. An attached handle allows for carrying. The seat liner may include pockets for child-related items. A detachable infant pad may be used to extend over the leg openings in the front wall when the liner is used as a diaper bag. The pad may also be used to line the bottom of the liner, allowing a very small infant to lie down, surrounded by the front, rear, and side walls. A securing strap may be included for securing the liner to a shopping cart, as well as a child restraining strap to secure the child. An auxiliary bag may be snapped to the liner for more storage space for diaper items, toys, etc.
U.S. Pat. No. 5,855,412 to Smith et al. teaches a shopping cart seat cushion and diaper bag. The cushion has a rectangular seat panel and foldable front, back, and side panels attached to the seat panel. A top panel depends from the back panel and may fold over a shopping cart seat backrest. A separate diaper changing cushion may be removably attached to the upper surface of the seat panel to provide additional comfort for the child. The panels fold up into a rectangular diaper bag and are secured with Velcro (trademark) attachments. The side panels have storage pockets for diapers and the like. The top panel also has an accessory panel with storage compartments.
United Kingdom Patent Application No. 2 061 712 teaches a bag with a detachable absorbent sheet for changing an infant. The sheet may be attached with Velcro, and is secured in its store position with zips.
U.S. Pat. No. 5,938,336 to King discloses a tote bag having a central U-shaped compartment and two side storage panels; the bag converts to a seat cover for use on chairs and the like. British Patent No. 722,867 to Bornstein discloses a mattress which can be folded to convert it to a container. British Patent No. 943,965 to Askaroff discloses a resilient mat for changing a baby, having compartments for toilet requisites. British Patent No. 1,264,919 to Hudson teaches a cushion which can be folded to form a carrier bag. European Patent 0 233 097 to Achour shows a sack which can be zipped open to form a flat surface.
None of the above inventions and patents, taken either singularly or in combination, is seen to describe the instant invention as claimed. Thus a support for a baby solving the aforementioned problems is desired.
The present invention is a support for a baby having a flap portion, a seat portion, and a handle portion. The flap portion has at least one pocket. A pair of cushion blocks is removably attached to the seat portion, one on each side of the baby. The seat portion has a central area between the cushion blocks, composed of a non-slip material. Straps are included for securing the baby in a shopping cart or other seat. A handle is preferably attached to the handle portion for carrying the support. The cushion blocks support a baby too young to sit up alone in a seated position. Since the cushion blocks are removably attached on two surfaces, the support can also be laid flat for use as a changing pad.
Accordingly, it is a principal object of the invention to provide a support for a baby which provides support in various types of seats for a baby too young to sit alone.
It is another object of the invention to provide a support which secures a baby in a seat and prevents the baby from slipping out of the seat.
It is a further object of the invention to provide a support which can be used as a changing pad.
Still another object of the invention is to provide a support which can be easily washed.
It is an object of the invention to provide improved elements and arrangements thereof for the purposes described which is inexpensive, dependable and fully effective in accomplishing its intended purposes.
These and other objects of the present invention will become readily apparent upon further review of the following specification and drawings.

FIG. 5 is a cross-sectional, detail view of a cushion block and its attachment, taken along line 5—5 of FIG. 4.
Similar reference characters denote corresponding features consistently throughout the attached drawings.
The present invention is a support 10 for a baby 12 having a pad assembly 13. The pad assembly includes a flap portion 14, a seat portion 16, a handle portion 18, an upper surface 15, and a lower surface 17. Each of a pair of cushion blocks 20 is removably attached to the seat portion 16. The support 10 includes strap means for releasably securing the baby, and handle means for carrying.
Preferably the pad assembly, the flap portion, the handle portion, and the seat portion are each generally rectangular in shape. The long axis of the pad assembly 13 is perpendicular to the long axes of the flap portion 14, the seat portion 16, and the handle portion 18. The pad assembly is preferably about 36 inches (91 cm) long and 18 inches (46 cm) wide. The flap portion, handle portion, and seat portion are separated by seams or fold lines.
The flap portion 14 is preferably constructed of first and second layers of fabric 22 and 24, separated by a padding layer 26. See FIG. 4. The flap portion 14 has a distal edge 23, a proximal edge 25, and first and second side edges 27 and 29. See FIG. 2.
The fabric may be any comfortable, machine washable material, such as cotton or a cotton/synthetic blend. The padding layer may be polyester quilt batting or the like.
The flap portion contains at least one pocket, which may take any of a wide variety of forms. One preferred arrangement is a layer of pocket fabric 28 extending adjacent to and parallel to the first fabric layer 22. The pocket fabric is attached to the distal edge 23 of the flap portion. See FIG. 4. The pocket preferably extends substantially the full length of the flap portion 14, parallel to the distal edge.
The pocket ideally is divided by stitching into at least two compartments 39. At least three compartments 39 are preferred, as shown in FIG. 2. The size of each compartment may be adjusted if desired to the size of specific baby items intended to be contained, such as bottles. This pocket arrangement is easily manufactured, holds baby items securely when the support is carried, and keeps the items out of the way when the support is in use. The pocket compartments are suitable for carrying diapers, wipes, bottles, toys, and baby food, as well as shopping lists and the like.
The pocket may include a cover flap 43, as shown in FIG. 4. The cover flap 43 preferably has a securing means to releasably hold the pocket closed. The securing means may be a hook and loop fastener 45, as in FIG. 4.
The seat portion 16 has a central area 30 and first and second side edges 32 and 34. The seat portion also has a distal edge 33 and an opposite proximal edge 35. The central area has a proximal edge 37. The central area 30 is composed of a non-slip material 31. The non-slip material has a first non-slip surface 36 and a second non-slip surface 38 opposite the first non-slip surface. See FIG. 4. The first non-slip surface 36 is in contact with the baby's bottom when the support is used to cover a seat, such as a shopping cart seat. The second non-slip surface 38 is in contact with the seat itself. See FIG. 1. The central area 30 is preferably about 9 inches (23 cm) by 9� inches (24 cm).
While the remainder of the pad assembly is preferably composed of at least two and ideally three layers, the central area 30 is preferably composed of a single layer of non-slip material 31. This assures that the two surfaces 36 and 38 cannot slide past each other. However, two non-slip layers may be used if the layers are securely stitched or otherwise secured together.
The central area 30 of the seat portion preferably is U-shaped or generally U-shaped, as shown in FIGS. 1 and 2. The notch 47 is adjacent to the distal edge 33. The seats of strollers, high chairs, shopping carts, and the like often have a central strap or member such as the central member 49 shown for the shopping cart 51 of FIG. 1. The central strap or member fits between the baby's legs. The notch 47 is adapted to allow the seat portion 16 to more easily fit seats with a central strap or member, while maintaining maximum contact between the baby's legs and the non-slip material of the central area 30.
The non-slip material 31 is preferably composed of non-slip rug cushion material The rug cushion material may be polyester scrim coated with PVC. Suitable rug cushion material is available under the trademark Mighty Gripper. The non-slip material may also be fabric studded or covered with a pattern of PVC or other high-friction materials, similar to non-slip socks and gloves.
The central area 30 of the seat portion 16 is preferably surrounded on each side by a peripheral area 40. See FIG. 2. The peripheral area preferably is U-shaped and surrounds the central area 30 on three sides, as shown in FIGS. 1 and 2. The base of the U includes the proximal edge 35, while the two arms of the U include the first and second side edges 32 and 34 respectively. Alternatively, the peripheral area 40 may consist of a pair of strips flanking the central area 30, and the proximal edge 37 of the central area may coincide with the proximal edge 35 of the seat portion.
The peripheral area is preferably composed of two layers of fabric 42 and 44 separated by a padding layer 46. See FIG. 5. The fold line 41 may extend from the proximal edge 37 of the central area 30 across the peripheral area 40.
The handle portion 18 preferably has a first fabric layer 48 and a second fabric layer 50 opposite the first fabric layer. Preferably a padding layer 52 is located between the first and second fabric layers 48 and 50. The handle portion 18 also has a flap edge 54, a seat edge 56 opposite the flap edge 54, and a first side edge 58. The second side edge 60 is opposite the first side edge 58. The flap edge 54 is attached to the proximal edge 25 of the flap portion 14. The seat edge 56 is attached to the proximal edge 35 of the seat portion 16. See FIGS. 2 and 4.
The seat and flap edges 56 and 54 are preferably parallel to the proximal and distal edges 25, 23, 33, and 35 of the flap portion and the seat portion respectively. The seat and flap edges 56 and 54 are also preferably parallel to the fold line 41 of the seat portion 16 and the proximal edge 37 of the central area 30. The first and second side edges 32 and 34, 27 and 29, and 58 and 60 of the seat portion, the flap portion and the handle portion respectively are preferably continuous and perpendicular to the seat and flap edges 56 and 54 and to the proximal and distal edges 25, 23, 33, and 35.
The support 10 has a pair of cushion blocks 20. Each cushion block 20 has a front surface 62, a rear surface 64, a top surface 66, a bottom surface 68, and first and second side surfaces 70 and 72. See FIGS. 2, 4, and 5. Each of the bottom and the rear surfaces 68 and 64 of each cushion block 20 is removably attached to the seat portion 16 near one of the side edges 32 or 34 of the seat portion 16. Preferably the cushion blocks 20 are attached to the peripheral area 40 of the seat portion. The cushion blocks are preferably about 4 inches (11 cm) high, 3 inches (7.5 cm) wide, and 5 inches (12 cm) long.
The cushion blocks 20 may be of any suitable material for cushioning and supporting a baby. Preferably each of the cushion blocks 20 includes an inner cushion 76 and an outer cover 78. The outer cover 78 is preferably composed of the same fabric as the fabric layers 22, 24, 42, 44, 48, and 50. The outer cover 78 ideally has a securing means to releasably secure the inner cushion 76 within the outer cover. This allows the inner cushion to be removed for washing. For example, FIG. 5 shows the outer cover secured by hook and loop fastener 80. The inner cushion may be of polyurethane foam or other suitable synthetic foam.
Each cushion block 20 is preferably removably attached to the seat portion by one or more connecting hook and loop fasteners. Each of the connecting hook and loop fasteners has a hook portion 82 and a loop portion 84. Preferably the loop portion 84 of each of the connecting hook and loop fasteners is attached to the seat portion 16. The hook portion 82 of each of the connecting hook and loop fasteners is attached to one of the cushion blocks 20. This arrangement assures that the baby will not be scratched by the hooks when the cushion blocks are removed. The loops are softer to the touch than the hooks.
The hook and loop portions 82 and 84 of the connecting hook and loop fasteners are preferably wide enough to allow the width between the cushion blocks to be adjusted. This helps to fit the cushion blocks to the size of the baby. As the baby grows older and is able to sit without support, the cushion blocks can be removed entirely. The support continues to provide a secure, non-slip attachment to many types of seats, as well as serving as a changing pad and diaper bag.
The hook and loop portions 82 and 84 preferably extend the entire length of the bottom and rear surfaces 68 and 64 of each cushion block. This maintains a secure attachment between the cushion blocks and the seat portion when the baby is in a seat.
The support 10 includes strap means for releasably securing the baby. Preferably the pad assembly 13 has first and second slits 86 and 88. See FIGS. 2 and 3. Preferably the slits 86 and 88 are located near the seat edge 56 of the handle portion. This location helps to hold the baby securely without causing the pad assembly to bunch up.
The strap means preferably includes a first strap 90 having a central portion 92 and first and second ends 94 and 96. See FIG. 3. The strap is preferably nylon. The central portion 92 of the first strap 90 is located near the lower surface 17 of the pad assembly. The first and second ends 94 and 96 of the first strap extend through the first and second slits 86 and 88 respectively. The first and second ends 94 and 96 of the first strap are releasably secured to each other by a first clip 98 to form a loop. The first clip 98 is preferably a parachute clip or similar fastener.
The strap means preferably also includes a second strap 100 and a third strap 102. See FIG. 3. Each of the second and third straps 100 and 102 has a proximal end 104 and a distal end 106. Each proximal end 104 is attached to the central portion 92 of the first strap 90. The distal ends 106 of the second and third straps 100 and 102 are releasably secured to each other by a second clip 108. The second clip 108 is preferably a parachute clip identical to the first clip 98.
The second clip 108 allows the support to be easily attached to a seat. For example, the second clip may be fastened around one or more bars of a shopping cart seat behind the baby, while the first strap is secured around the baby. This arrangement holds the baby firmly in place, without requiring that the first strap be threaded through the slits 86 and 88 each time the support is used. The baby cannot climb out of the seat or fall.
The support 10 includes handle means for carrying the support. The handle means preferably includes a handle 110 attached to the upper surface 15 of the handle portion 18 of the pad assembly. Ideally the widths of the flap portion, the handle portion, and the seat portion are approximately equal. The handle preferably is attached approximately half-way between the flap edge 54 and the seat edge 56 of the handle portion 18. This location provides for good balance, making the support easier to carry. The weight of the cushion blocks 20, the non-slip material 31, and the straps 90, 100 and 102 is roughly balanced by the weight of diapers and other baby supplies carried in the pocket compartments 39.
The support keeps a baby who cannot yet sit up alone upright and supported. The non-slip material prevents the baby from sliding around, while the cushion blocks support him on either side. This combination works to prevent the baby from slumping into an uncomfortable position, without requiring that the cushion blocks fit tightly against the baby on both sides. The support makes the seats of standard strollers, high chairs, shopping carts, and the like more comfortable and secure for infants.
In a shopping area or restaurant the support can be simply folded over a shopping cart or high chair, making sure the seat is flat and the cushion blocks are in line with the seat. The flap portion is folded over the back of the seat, as in FIG. 1. The baby is then placed in the seat and fastened in, and the second clip is fastened to the seat. Very little time is required.
When the baby needs changing, the pad assembly is easily unfolded by separating the hook portion 82 of the rear surface 64 of each cushion block from its corresponding loop portion 84. See FIGS. 4 and 2. The hook portion 82 of the bottom surface 68 can remain in place while the baby is changed. The cushion blocks help to prevent the baby from rolling off a changing table. The padding layers and the non-slip material cushion the baby during the changing process. The pocket compartments 39 keep the necessary supplies exactly where they are needed. A separate changing pad and diaper bag do not have to be carried.
The support is easily cleaned. Once the inner cushions of the cushion blocks are removed, the remainder of the support can be easily machine washed.
It is to be understood that the present invention is not limited to the embodiments described above, but encompasses any and all embodiments within the scope of the following claims.

Chilling, but Willing
Ambleside Travel Blog› entry 3 of 9 › view all entries
I woke up nice and early, hungry and ready for breakfast, I was able to get a shower without any waiting and decided to strip the bed before heading down. Guess what I found; yes you guessed it, my bloody watch! That quilt cover was even tougher than I had first thought, pinching my watch off my wrist in the midst of our struggle the night before, but in the end I had triumphed and retrieved it! Be thankful for small victories; that is my motto.
I dropped my bedding into the sack at reception and let them know I had found my watch, although it was now a male receptionist who did not seem as bothered as the others had been. Breakfast was not the highlight of the day that I hoped it would be, a little disappointing and not an option I will choose again. I then checked out and had my pack secured in the luggage room so that I could spend awhile chilling in the town.
The hostel is very close to the jetties for the Lake boat trips and there are plenty of other facilities close by, coffee shops, restaurants and souvenir shops, I decided to ignore all of these and head straight into town. The day was overcast but trying to brighten up, and I had a pleasant walk into town for some essentials, stopping off at one of my favourite Ambleside eateries 'The Apple Pie'. I spent the day just chilling around town for awhile before heading back to the hostel to collect my pack late in the afternoon.
Once I was fully loaded up again, I headed off up to Loughrigg Tarn to camp, I could probably have made it all the way to Stickle Tarn, but I would not have arrived until late, I have plenty of time, it did not seem necessary to rush. So I just wanted to get onto some high ground and out of the town. I found a likely spot and set up camp in a sheltered spot within easy reach of the tarn for fresh water. Of course the water will need to be boiled thoroughly. The tarn is not particularly high, there are plenty of sheep around and as I had not been able to bring a purifier along boiling is appropriate. I had packed enough dehydrated rations for seven days and my choice for dinner on this first night was savoury rice. I always boiled extra water for the next day and before I retired into my sleeping bag I had boiled some more for a morale boosting hot chocolate.I brushed my teeth and read a little before getting an early night. It rained a little during the night but although clagged out a little the next morning it was dry, at least for the moment. Breakfast consisted of my prepared porridge, with sugar, skimmed milk powder and some nuts and fruit added, which only requires the addition of some hot water and a better breakfast is hard to find, well out here anyway.

In the patchwork quilt of differing standards and policy justifications for granting a preliminary injunction, many federal courts have noted that a preliminary injunction should be granted to preserve the status quo existing between the parties. Certain courts have gone so far as to require higher burdens from plaintiffs requesting injunctions that would alter the status quo. Judge Michael McConnell of the Tenth Circuit tried to justify these much criticized legal standards through behavioral economics studies. Judge McConnell defended the higher burdens for preliminary injunctions interfering with the status quo by arguing that a party will be more affected by the loss of a benefit already possessed than one that the party only hopes to attain.
Using the rich experimental literature of behavioral law and economics (BLE), Mr. Powers demonstrates how BLE cannot justify Judge McConnell's view for invoking the status quo in deciding whether to issue a preliminary injunction. In Part II, Mr. Powers presents a brief summary of the standards governing federal courts' adjudication of motions for preliminary injunction; paying special attention to how the status quo affects these standards. Part III introduces the field of behavioral law and economics and summarizes the relevant phenomena: loss aversion, the endowment effect, status quo bias, and omission bias. In Part IV, Mr. Powers argues that while some of these BLE-based phenomena can explain courts' invocation of the status quo in preliminary injunction decision making, none can justify it. Mr. Powers goes on to endorse the position held by many that the status quo has no place in this area of the law.

update soon,please!
awsome story!
| Angellia chapter 11 . 11/17/2009
Yay update!
Short chapter but I really liked the Buffy/Harmony bonding. Always had a soft spot for Harmony cause she's so damn funny, and she often gets portrayed badly in fanfics, so I'm glad you went a different way.
Really hope you update soon, I can't wait to find out what happens with Spike!
| HalfBrachenDemon chapter 11 . 11/11/2009
| Kina Kalamari chapter 11 . 11/6/2009
Erm...Great story, but the last chapter confused me a bit. Didn't she tell Faith and Willow about what happened with Spike at the end of chapter 10? So why was she just getting back and telling them AGAIN in chapter 11?
Anywho, before all that, it was a great story. Very interesting, and a good read. )
| Tigermusic chapter 11 . 10/22/2009
still awsome keep it coming :D
| housefangirl25 chapter 10 . 7/15/2009
really good story I was just wondering if you were going to continue?
| Tigermusic chapter 10 . 7/15/2009
awsome keep it coming :D
| Angellia chapter 10 . 7/13/2009
Aw poor Buffy and Spike, always screwing up their timing. I really really hope you update soon, i cant wait to see whats gonna happen next
| Tigermusic chapter 9 . 6/1/2009
awsome..keep it coming :D
| X.Buffy Lurves Spike.X chapter 9 . 4/24/2009
I love this story, everything about it so great. There's just a few things I noticed, that are simple mistakes to make, but also simple to fix. You're getting confused with your where / were and they're / their.
Where - a location
Were - "you were with him"
Their - possession
They're - abb. for they are
| Angellia chapter 9 . 4/14/2009
Brilliant chapter! I really loved that they were kinda arguing about it in the rain on the top of the eifel tower, that's so romantic lol. Im so happy that you updated, this is one of my fave Spuffy stories out there at the mo. Hope theres more soon x
| paper0clip chapter 8 . 2/18/2009
I hate how characters can be so dense. No matter where you look they all are...oh maybe he/she likes me...I will not say anything though, even though its completely obvious that he/she likes me too.
It's not your fault, because everyone does it, it seems...but then again. Isn't that not real life?
| Guest chapter 8 . 2/5/2009
Man, I agree with Faith. Spike and Buffy just need to tell each other how they really feel. Spike's been coming close to saying it, but then again, Buffy can be rather thick at times... And I really hope Buffy just saw something at the wrong moment or something; I don't want Spike and Harmony back together! Unless, of course, the author orders it and then I guess I'll take it. Bad timing though! Just when Buffy was gearing up for the big feelings talk. I liked the rest of the chapter, too. Hungover!Buffy is almost as funny as drunk!Buffy. Okay, not really... drunk!Buffy is way funnier! And then I liked the part about them going to the Louvre. Though finding a time when no people are around like when Buffy and Spike were at the pyramids... very rare! There's so many people around that place all the time! But it is fantastic. And so was this chapter! I loved it!

Palo Alto has a star quarterback in Keller Chryst, verbally committed to play football at Stanford. Chryst was hit hard in last Friday's 35-21 loss to Los Gatos at Palo Alto and was taken out of the game for precautionary measures. Chryst should be available Friday night at Santa Clara for the Vikings (4-5, 3-3 SCVAL De Anza).
The senior spent a few minutes answering questions during Tuesday's practice with Daily News staff writer John Reid.
Daily News: Did you get dinged a bit on Friday?
Chryst: Yes, I got my bell rung a little bit. I'll be fine.
DN: Was it on running play or on a pass play?
Chryst: It was on a running play, a designed run.
DN: Was the score 14-14 when you left?
Chryst: It was like 14-21, we were losing in the second quarter.
DN: I heard from your coach you passed the tests on the field. What kind of tests did they give you?
Chryst: They gave me the standard concussion tests.
DN: Have you ever gotten dazed like that before?
Chryst: Not that has ever been diagnosed or anything. I've definitely been hit a few times.
DN: Give a general statement on your season.
Chryst: Every game this year has been a fight for us to the end. Unfortunately, we weren't able to finish strong on some of those. The season isn't over, yet. I'm looking forward to seeing how far we can go. Me, personally, I've made some mistakes that have been costly in the end.
DN: How do you like the way Stanford is playing right now?
Chryst: It's impressive the way they handled Oregon the other night. I was at the game.
DN: Did you sign with Stanford, yet?
Chryst: I haven't signed anything officially. I'll sign on signing day in February.
DN: Why did you pick Stanford?
Chryst: It's hard to pass up Stanford when it's right across the street. It has great academics and a great football program.
DN: Are you going to play basketball?
Chryst: I'm not sure, yet.

Anand has been among the world's elite for a quarter-of-a-century and he has piled up victories in every single major tournament. He was undisputed World Champion from 2007 to 2013, and successfully defended the title in three grueling matches against seasoned challengers. With his experience, maturity, impressive resume, and favorable matchups, he is the second most likely to win the tournament, after Nakamura. If he should win, he would pose the most significant problems to Carlsen, despite having lost two straight matches to him, and despite their age difference. In a third match, Anand would be even tougher.

Quest Club
Enjoy trail running, mt. biking, kayaking, and strategy?
The Quest Adventure Racing Club is dedicated to getting people informed and involved in the world of adventure racing. We will have club outings and clinics to help you gain the knowledge and confidence to explore the world of adventure racing.
What is Adventure Racing you ask? Here is what the US Adventure Racing Association has to say about it:
Adventure Racing (AR) is a team sport which combines multiple disciplines and is usually set in forests/mountains around trails and lakes. Most common disciplines include trekking (walking, hiking, running), mountain biking and paddling. Races come in different lengths including Sprint (usually 2 – 6 hours), 12 hour (usually 6 – 12 hours), 24 hour (usually 18 – 30 hours), Multi-Day (usually 36 – 48 hours) and Expedition (usually 3 – 11 days). The primary focus of AR is teamwork as most races are designed for teams of 2-4 racers with very few allowing solo entries. There is also no set course as there are a series of checkpoints (CPs) that each team must attain but usually are allowed to get them in any order. As teams reach CPs they use a supplied passport to mark off that CP (either a signature for a manned CP, hole punch, or other similar device). Map reading and other navigation skills are vital as the use of GPS devices is strictly forbidden.

Secrets of Success
Baseball - America's Pasttime. And Beyond
Monday, December 03, 2012
Y'all may not know this about me, but I'm a huge baseball and girl's fast-pitch softball fan. I've dreamed of playing baseball and I've dreamed of watching my granddaughter playing on her high school girls softball team. The Bob in this story isn't me - I don't think.
Two buddies, Eric and Bob were two of the biggest baseball fans in America.
Their entire adult lives (even going back to high school when Bob pitched and Eric caught). Eric and Bob discussed baseball history in the winter, they pored over new team rosters in the spring. Every morning throughout the season they went through every box score in the newspaper. When the trading deadlines approached, they predicted which teams would trade for the pennant race and which teams would try to cut their rosters to save money. They went to over 60 games a year, and thanks to the awesome invention of cable, they each watched more than 200 additional games a year. They called each other when one or the other heard someone was pitching a n0-hitter or when some long standing record was about to be broken so they could both watch baseball history made.
When they were in their 50's they even agreed that whoever died first would try to come back and tell the other if there was baseball in heaven.
Many years later, with both men in their eighties, Eric passed away in his sleep one summer nigh,t after watching his beloved Dodgers beat San Francisco earlier in the evening. He died happy.
Bob was inconsolable when his best friend's son called and told him of Eric's death. Bob's wife had to take him to the doctor for something to help with his depression and inability to sleep.
A few nights after the medications started to give Bob some relief from the pain and heartbreak, Bob awoke to the sound of Eric's voice from beyond.
"Eric, Is that you?" Bob asked.
"Of course it's me," Eric replied.
"This is unbelievable!" Bob exclaimed. "So tell me, is there baseball in heaven?"
"Well, I have some good news and some bad news for you. Which do you want to hear first?"
"Tell me the good news first."
"Well, the good news is that, yes, there is baseball in heaven, Bob."
"Oh, that is wonderful! So what could possibly be the bad news?"
"You're pitching tomorrow night."

The best way to learn more about Docker--and to really conceptually understand containers and what benefit they can provide--is to get under the hood and take things apart. Docker coalesces a myriad of OS features and tools to simplify managing containers. In this course I'll share with you the inner workings as I take things apart myself, to learn more.
For example, we'll see how namespaces work and what a bind mount is. Understading the underlying technology will help demystify Docker and containers in general.
I'm passionate about helping companies achieve remarkable results with technology and software. I've had extensive experience developing software and working with teams to improve how software is developed to meet business objectives.
I love creating courses to distill and share knowledge with people just like you, that have an unquenchable thirst for learning and improvement.

User review on Renault Pulse written by lalit on 20 August 2016
lalit's review on Renault Pulse RxL ABS
Year of Manufacture : 2015 | Driven no. of Kms. : 10211
- Pros:
- Cons:
I have bought the pulse a year ago and I am really happy with this car as there is no problem with it and the best part is that even if it is a diesel variant there is no lag in the engine. The interior of the car is good and since it is the new facelift, there are many changes in the interior. The dashboard is dual toned and there are steering mounted controls. I have completed 20k kms with my pulse and I am really happy with it.

2016 Mercedes E Class to have remote parking pilot; head- and tail-lamp revealed – Report
Aravind Jayachandran, It goes without saying that I'm a huge petrolhead and can apparently convert all my driving emotions into words you can read.
Will come with a large equipment list and evolutionary design.
Mercedes is currently working on the next generation Mercedes E Class, which is rumored to make its global debut at the 2016 Detroit Auto Show (NAIAS 2016). Codenamed Mercedes W213, the 2016 Mercedes E Class represents the company's next step towards autonomous mobility for mass production vehicles.
[Direct Youtube link]
Mercedes invited select media to a technical presentation which highlighted most of the new features that will be equipped in the new Mercedes E Class. One of them is the new Remote Parking Pilot, which, like in the new BMW 7-Series, enables the car to self-park in the given area, should there be a tight gap between the door and the adjacent object.
Unlike BMW's adaptation (which uses a display key), the Remote Parking Pilot can be accessed via an app in the user's smartphone.
The new E Class will feature a "Car-to-X" communication system, which allows cars to "talk to each other". This makes the E-Class the first mass production vehicle to feature such a technology, although it may take a while to be fully functional (unless there's another E Class with the same tech in the driver's proximity). Benefits of this technology extend to preventing collisions at junctions or tight bends, where drivers can't see traffic that is approaching close.
Another interesting feature that Mercedes talked about is PRE-SAFE Sound, which, apparently, prepares the occupants ears for the loud noises associated with an accident. Using natural reflexes, the system sends an interference signal to the ear, where the stapedius muscle inside protects the inner ear before an accident happens. This is generally a natural reaction by the ear towards loud noises.
Other new equipment for the E Class appears to have been borrowed from the S-Class, albeit with slight upgrades. It includes Active Brake Assist, Evasive Steering Assist, PRE-SAFE Plus, beltbag (airbag in the belt), and Attention Assist. Most of the semi-autonomous features will be offered together in an optional "Driver Assistance Package".

Up front, the E-Class will come equipped with a new generation of Multibeam LED headlamps, which works with 84 individual lighting units to create various patterns of the forward beam patterns with extreme precision, so as to not dazzle other oncoming road users. The LED taillamps gets variable-intensity brake and indicator units, which also helps prevent dazzling the user behind the vehicle.

Madness Combat 6.5
Rated 5 / 5 stars
It gets better and better...
To all the morons who complain "It's the same shit, it's boring." Krinkels isn't obligated to impress you. If you don't like it stop watching it. It is still a very thrilling and enjoyable series.
You can tell that every episode Krinkels out does himself. New weapons, new styles of fighting and new styles of animation. The 9,542 frames he committed to the animation should give you a clue that he enjoys what he is doing and will probably (and hopefully) continue with the series.
A few things i did notice. The length of the episodes are gradually increasing, the plot is opening up (if you noticed the Jebus was working with the auditor and decided to quit omg!) and there is a connection you feel with our two hero's (forgot the names). I thought it was pretty funny the scene at the cloths store.
Krinkels don't stop!
Madness Combat 5.5
Rated 5 / 5 stars
Things to consider..
This is not a review against or anything bad about the animation, in fact I liked it ALOT! But throughout the series i can't help but notice.
Within the latest episodes, (5-9) things really seem to be out of place. With the bringing of the Auditor, the crumbling background etc. does the madness series seem to be taking a turn into an odd plot that only the Krinkels will understand.
But in the earlier episodes (1-4) you just get the feeling of cat and mouse. Hank chasing and killing the sheriff and such. But here is where i question.
There has to be more meaning between the Sheriff and the auditor. Once the Sheriff finally dies starts this crazy occurrences caused by the Auditor. So was the sheriff being some kind of balance?
Thats probably why "Jebus" (or the savior) killed hank. Jebus knew that the death of the sheriff would turn to this, so that is why Jebus kills Hank AND also hunts, and attempts to kill the Auditor.
Recently I looked up the what an Auditor was and it is "a person authorized to audit accounts; a public official who audits government accounts, distributes revenues, assesses real-estate, inspects scales, etc." So I can assume, (telling from what i have seen so far.) he is managing this world he has built, (that many of us has seen controlling in episode 8) but once Jebus blew up his master controls he inevitably led to the destruction of the world set by the Auditor.
Hank.. or the other two... I really have no idea what their role is.
Well that's just my speculation, now i can just be COMPLETELY wrong and just sound like a dumbass but like i said. This is only what i believe.
Keep up the good work Krinkels!
-Mr. Fig
EFN Episode 3: Purpose
Rated 5 / 5 stars
4.34? really (long review sorry!)
This show was absolutely beast...
The story (so far) is not hard to follow and is REALLY creative..
The main character's are well presented and the description of the side contestants such as Ysef was perfect. (noted it doesn't revile every detail about the character but IT DOESN'T NEED TO! The very fact that he is just another victim for this competition is mind bobbling and crazy!)
The animation was orgasmic. (not exaggerating)
The tone and setting of the animation was dark and great!
The series is sky rocketing and you had me since the first one...
Good work and KEEP IT UP PLEASE!!!!
-Mr. Figgy Mcfigginstein
(P.S. And I am going to go ahead and say how the heck did this get a 4.34 and only one trophy... Compared to many of the animations posted on newgrounds this I believed reached the top. What others see that I don't baffles me and I believe you deserve more for the work you put into this...)
BedClock and PizzaClock
Rated 0 / 5 stars
Another clock group?
alright... alright...
That was fail.
The animation was BAD!!!
The graphics were tearful.
The joke was bad.
The timing was short.
I dont know what it is about these "clock" flashes but they are truly going down hill.
-Mr.Figgy Mcfigginstein
How to Work Newgrounds
Rated 0.5 / 5 stars
How to work on animation...
That was an interesting view of how to work newgrounds.
Unfortunately there are nothing but a bunch of spammers that put alot of random stuff on newgrounds.
I wonder....
To the review.
The idea was already there you dont need to SPELL it out for us.
The animation was bad.
The joke is overused.
The point of newgrounds (in my opinion) is to either win a competition. Or use your fellow newgrounders reviews to better yourself at flash and eventually end up with a front page-er.
(Don't Blam me for giving an ACTUAL REVIEW)
-Mr. Figgy Mcfigginstein
Vampire Story
Rated 0.5 / 5 stars
vampires eh?
This was movie sucks as much as vampires do LOL (dont judge me on the joke). But seriously...
The animation was poor. And the little movement there was, was REALLY choppy.
The graphics were bad and considering the lack of animation you could have AT LEAST made it really graphical and artistic unfortunately you didn't.
It was way to short.
The idea of it was bad. The goth look was descent but it does NOT fit well with the vampire story. (at least in my opinion of vampires)
Overall it was pretty lousy the concept of man being the cause of pain is not new and the animation was bad.
If you can convince me otherwise with the new one you claim to be making my opinion will stick.
(Don't Blam me for rating based on what I see.)
-Mr. Figgy Mcfigginstein
Ok well. I know it was bad, but a one? I think it deserved about a 4 at least. I've seen higher ratings on those shitty duck movies.
Raiden vs Esmeralda
Rated 2.5 / 5 stars
This one is a lot better then the other one but it has flaws.
Using sprites I find cheating and animating fight scenes should be a lot easier however, you don't seem to know how to use them.
A lot of the hedgehogs movements is covered up by overused and over powering.
Too many grammatical errors even if its on purpose it is really unnecessary.
Some things were not fully shown on the screen.
Over all the animation was descent but you could have done more.
-Mr. Figgy Mcfigginstein
you have any tips
Sonic Fights Intro
Rated 1.5 / 5 stars
I can tell that you are new at sprites and I can respect that.
First off I like the choice of song but it sounded really fuzzy and hard to hear.
The animation was pretty bad. The motion was too quick and lazy.
There were no sound effects for the blasts or hits or what ever but that is understandable.
The plot was not there at all.
It was just another sonic flash attempt.
I am only being honest so dont shoot me down.
-Mr. Figgy Mcfigginstein
thanks me and my friend will get to work on that
Nasty Pig
Rated 5 / 5 stars
funny no, symbolic yes
what a lot of people fail to understand *cough* YungJazz *cough* is that not ALL animations were meant to be funny.
This animation i see is very symbolic (you guys can found out on your own!)
It was very creative and well animated.
It was not too short. The message was very clear. It was a bit humorous.
Because so many people are familiar with krinkels "Madness combat series" it is no surprise to me that they rate you so harshly just because it is not what they are used to seeing from you.
They think "Hey krinkels made it, it must be funny and violent." unfortunately they get a deep toned animation that actually makes them think THEN they go "This isn't the random violence I'm used too I HATE THIS"
I really liked it. And I for one have total respect for your ideas. (For those of you thinking "Hey he is just a krinkels fan suck up trying to look cool" that is misconception, I am only speaking the facts and if you have problem well too bad =3!)
-Mr. Figgy Mcfigginstein
Madness Mask 1
Rated 1.5 / 5 stars
Not that cool...
Its not surprising to see many madness tributes these days so seeing this wasn't that exciting.
The idea behind it was no that original.
The animation was SLOW!!!
The effects were not all that great.
The animation was sloppy and dragged.
The white square was not intentional (i hope) so i let it slide.
Above all it was just another tribute.
-Mr. Figgy Mcfigginstein

USS Theodore Roosevelt

Posted on Aug 15th, 2012 with tags Commander, fleet, forces, Naval, Navy, News by topic, Roosevelt, Theodore, U.S., USS, visits.
The commander of U.S. Fleet Forces visited USS Theodore Roosevelt (CVN 71) Aug. 13, to tour the ship and visit with Sailors about TR's progress in its multi-year refueling complex overhaul (RCOH) in Newport News, Va.

Capt. William J. Hart, TR's commanding officer, greeted Harvey and led him on a tour of the aircraft carrier with TR's Command Master Chief (SW/AW) Jack Callison. Their first stop was TR's flight deck, where Harvey inspected the aircraft carrier's catapult launch system and spoke with Dan Klemencic, a civilian construction director at Newport News Shipbuilding.
"They're doing everything they can to get us back up and running," Klemencic said to the admiral about the Sailors and shipyard workers on the flight deck.
After visiting the flight deck, Harvey descended through the ship's hangar bay and toured the Medical department.
"For our Sailors, it really lets them know that 'big Navy' cares about what's going on, how we're doing, how we're progressing," said Lt. Cmdr. Charlene Oligher, the ship's nurse. "He was concerned with what each person's job was and what they were doing. The questions gave a sense that he was asking personally about the Sailor."
Harvey then visited TR's aft galley, where he spoke with Sailors.
"It was very nice meeting the admiral, someone that high in the Navy," said Culinary Specialist Seaman Recruit Kash Michaels, one of the galley workers Harvey spoke with."Since this is just my first command, I feel great."
Next, Harvey moved on to the newly renovated Chiefs Mess, where he spoke to senior enlisted about TR moving out of the shipyards and back into open waters.
"The Chiefs Mess is the soul and backbone of the ship," Harvey said. "I'm honored to be down here with you while you go through this process."

This week's biology quiz focusing on sea creatures comes one day late but better late than never!
"I felt the full breadth and depth of the ocean around the sphere of the Earth, back billions of years to the beginning of life, across all the passing lives and deaths, the endless waves of swimming joy and quiet losses of exquisite creatures with fins and fronds, tentacles and wings, colorful and transparent, tiny and huge, coming and going. There is nothing the ocean has not seen." — Sally Andrew, Writer

I was just reading a past post about the Bacon Egg and Cheese sandwich so ubiquitous to the New York street cart and started fantasizing about heading to my corner deli and picking up a hot ham and cheese on a french roll or a Cubano brimming with salty pork, cheese and pickles pressed right in front of me. Is there any place like that out here? A one stop shop where you can get a fabulous, ooey gooey melty sandwich of your choice, along with some delicious chips and a soda to boot? Don't need (or want) anything fancy, just looking for a great place to drop by (with picky SO in tow,) pick up fabulous treats for the beach or a car trip and finish by licking the paper because the sandwich was THAT good. Any advice Chowhounds?
Thank you!

Flame Tamers - Gas Grills 101
Flame tamers are the barrier between the burners and cooking grids. A good flame taming system will help keep flare-ups to a minimal level and shield the burners from marinades and sauces which can damage the burners. Flame tamers also help to spread the heat across the cooking surface and they create flavor by catching the extra drippings and converting them to smoke. Most gas grills have either ceramic or metal flame tamers.
Metal - Less even heat when compared with ceramics, but metal is easier to clean and more durable. Typically, these flame tamers are made of stainless or porcelain coated steel but stainless is superior. Metal flame tamers have two variations, burner width and full width.

I had a nice long run with the girls on the Rail Trail yesterday morning. It was quite cold and the wind made it feel even colder. I had originally planned on wearing my base-layer long sleeve, a tech tee and my Brooks vest, but after checking the temps in Gardiner (9 Fahrenheit with the windchill) I opted to wear my cold-weather Brooks jacket. I was glad for my choice in the beginning, but was pretty hot mid-way through...one reason I can only wear it on the coldest of runs. I did pick up some super cute holiday socks at Target and knowing that this would probably be my last run before Christmas, I had to wear them.
The run overall was good (the best part was the company, of course), but again my lack of mileage these last few weeks made it a lot harder. My left calf was a tight ball of knots the entire run and it probably didn't help that I was wearing my zero-drop Mizuno EVO Cursoris for my first double-digit run in three weeks. I stunned them all when I was the one to suggest we walk up the hill out of Hallowell. I just didn't want to push it since I feel like I'm starting out from square one. *sigh*
Anyway, no more excuses. Fellow Rail Trail regular, Mizuno fanatic, and running junkie, Seth Hasty, recently wrote a post about making excuses. You can read that here. I feel like he could have written it for me. I have mostly been fine with the fact that I haven't been running much and why. Any time during the day when I would usually be able to jump on the treadmill, I've been working on the new house. Instead of going to bed early to be able to get up and run before everyone wakes up, I've been spending that time with my husband. I feel that this was the right choice for me and for my family during the crazy end of the year whirlwind we've been in.
This afternoon we're baking cookies for Santa and getting ready to spend our first night in the new house. The boys are super excited!
I hope everyone has a safe, happy, and very merry Christmas.

Re: question to deal with

 thanks for the response. I agree
about study in the word and prayer are the first
priority. And I agree that lonileness is a big problem with
me in the since it effects me emotion sometimes.
Mentally I'm more active when alone I'm a consent thinker.
When I say this it gets me to think and read the
Scriptures more and good theology books, in this sense I
don't dwell on my lonilness. My struggle is I'm content
in being alone, but also know I need social contact.
your suggestions on being and praying to be more
friendly are helpful and something I need to do. I'm more
stand offish in a lot of situations it is when I get to
know people I warm up, and that is something I must
deal with and again prayer to change myself is one
thing I do not do enough of. The other comments about
lust etc are very true sometimes. I agree marriage is
not the answer, and because of certain consequences
of sin in my life which I have repented of marriage
is one situation I will never have the pleasure of
experiencing. Everything you have said as me thinking and as
helped quite a bit in my thinking.
In Christ
