A little back story.
I have been on Bed Rest for about 4 1/2 weeks now. I am dilated 2 1/2 cervix is "floppy" and baby is at -1 station and putting tons of pressure in my pelvic area. I was seen today and they did yet ANOTHER Fetal Fibronectin test, I have been on procardia 20mg every 5 hours for about 2 months and taking the 17P shots since 17 weeks.
I was wondering if anyone else had gotten the steroid shots for the baby and what the outcome of it was? Wanting to know how long after you had your baby, and what their lungs were like? I will be 34 weeks on Friday. I am supposed to get the shot on Wednesday.
I have read that they are only effective if you deliver within 24-48 hours of the shot but wanted to know of some personal experience!!
Thanks Ladies!

May 15, 2015 5:30 AM - With an estimated 65 percent of U.S. jobs to require more than a high school diploma by 2020, Palatine-Schaumburg High School District 211 is trying to find new ways for its students to spend their four years learning what they like or don't about a variety of career paths. At Thursday's school board meeting, officials specifically discussed new classes, clubs and internships that can give students real-world insight into one of the 16 identified career clusters -- computer technology.

Approved subjects are in bold.
In most cases, tutors gain approval in a subject by passing a proficiency exam. For some subject areas, like music and art, tutors submit written requests to demonstrate their proficiency to potential students. If a tutor is interested but not yet approved in a subject, the subject will appear in non-bold font. Tutors need to be approved in a subject prior to beginning lessons.

Topic: Groundcovers
Title: Groundcover for primary school in Illinois
Answered by: Nan Hampton
QUESTION:I'm looking for a ground cover to plant on primary school grounds. It will need to be able to handle foot traffic. Is there anything that flowers and is a perennial? The area gets full sun and is beside a sidewalk. The area can hold water during heavy rain but does drain.
Below are some suggested groundcover plants (with their light requirements) that are native to Illinois. However, I feel sure that none of them will stand up to heavy foot traffic. If the foot traffic will be an occasional person walking across it, then these should be fine once they are established. If this is an area where the children will be playing several times a day, however, I doubt that any of these will be able to survive successfully. In that case you would be better served by grass or sedges. In either case, you will need to limit any sort of foot traffic until the plants are well-established. Note: shade = less than 2 hours of sun per day, part shade = 2 to 6 hours of sun per day, and sun = more than 2 hours of sun per day.
Sedum ternatum (woodland stonecrop) part shade
Asarum canadense (Canadian wildginger) part shade, shade
Waldsteinia fragarioides (Appalachian barren strawberry) sun, part shade. Here is more information.
Heuchera richardsonii (Richardson's alumroot) part shade, shade

Indian River (Del.) School District's tiered bus system will have new daily starting and ending times for several schools. The system is designed to accommodate an increase in student enrollment and the implementation of full-day kindergarten, which have put a strain on the transportation system.
Beginning with the 2014-15 school year, the Indian River (Del.) School District will implement a tiered transportation system that will create new daily starting and ending times for several district schools. The district created the system to accommodate an increase in student enrollment and the rollout of full-day kindergarten, which have put a strain on the transportation system in recent years. The system will also reduce bus overcrowding and allow for student growth at all schools. The new system was approved by the Indian River Board of Education on June 16.Under the new plan, district schools will be divided into "First Start" and "Second Start" categories with different starting and ending times for each group.The school day for First Start schools will run from 7:45 a.m. until 2:30 p.m. Buses will arrive between 7:25 a.m. and 7:30 a.m. and depart between 2:35 p.m. and 2:38 p.m. The school day for Second Start schools will run from 8:35 a.m. until 3:20 p.m. Buses will arrive between 8:15 a.m. and 8:20 a.m. and depart between 3:25 p.m. and 3:28 p.m. All district schools will have a standard school day of six hours and 45 minutes.The system will reduce the number of elementary students on a single bus to between 50 and 55. The number of secondary students on a bus will be reduced to between 38 and 44.
All district high schools and middle schools will also have early start times like most secondary schools in Delaware.

The subject of runaway, abducted and abandoned children has received a lot of attention in the news recently, but never anything remotely like "Streetwise," which enters into the lives of these underage survivors as they fight for life and love on the streets of Seattle.
The movie was inspired by a Life magazine article on a group of the kids, who, at an age when other kids are in school are learning to be hookers, thieves, con men, pushers and junkies. Now comes this movie, which contains extraordinary everyday footage, which the filmmakers obtained by spending months hanging out with the kids, until they gained their trust and their cameras became accepted.
The street kids lead horrifying lives, but sometimes there are moments of acceptance and happiness. They cling to each other. They relate uneasily with a social worker who seems philosophically resigned to the facts of street life. They try to dodge the cops. They live in an abandoned hotel, get money by begging and prostitution, eat by raiding the dumpsters behind restaurants. They even have a system for marking garbage so they don't eat food that's too old.
What is amazing is that some of these kids are still in touch with their parents. One girl shrugs that her mother is off to the woods for a weekend "I've always known she don't love me or s---. So OK." She hugs herself. Another girl tries to talk to her mother, who says, "Be quiet. I'm drinking." A kid named DeWayne goes to visit his father in prison, and gets a long lecture about smoking, drinking and taking drugs, and a pie-in-the-sky speech about how they're going to open a thrift shop when the old man gets out of prison. The next time we see DeWayne, it is at his funeral, he hanged himself in a jail cell.
You walk out of "Streetwise" realizing that these aren't bad kids. They are resourceful, tough and true to their own standards. They break the law, but then how many legal ways are there for 14-year-olds to support themselves? They talk about their parents in a matter-of-fact way that, we suspect, covers up great wounds, as when one girl says she's never met her natural father - "unless maybe I dated him once."
"Streetwise" is surprising for the frankness of the material it contains. How did the filmmakers get these people to say these things, to allow the cameras into their lives? We see moments of intimacy, of violence, of pain. The answer, I suspect, is that a lot of these kids were so starving for attention and affection, that by offering both, the filmmakers were able to get whatever they wanted.
Some of the scenes are possibly staged, in the sense that the characters are aware they are in a movie, but none of the scenes are false or contrived. These are children living rough in an American city, and you would blame their parents if you didn't see that the parents are just as alienated and hopeless, and that before long these kids will be damaged parents, too.

The Libya Portal
Libya (Arabic: ليبيا Lībyā) is a country in the Maghreb region of North Africa bordered by the Mediterranean Sea to the north, Egypt to the east, Sudan to the southeast, Chad and Niger to the south, and Algeria and Tunisia to the west.
With an area of almost 1.8 million square kilometres (700,000 sq mi), Libya is the fourth largest country in Africa by area, and the 17th largest in the world. The largest city, Tripoli, is home to 1.7 million of Libya's 6.4 million people. The three traditional parts of the country are Tripolitania, Fezzan and Cyrenaica.
In 2009 Libya had the highest HDI in Africa and the fourth highest GDP (PPP) per capita in Africa, behind Seychelles, Equatorial Guinea and Gabon. Libya has the 10th-largest proven oil reserves of any country in the world and the 17th-highest petroleum production.
As a result of the civil war of February to October 2011 and the collapse of the Gaddafi regime which had been in power for more than 40 years, Libya is currently administrated by a caretaker government, known as the National Transitional Council.
Featured article
The Toyota War is the name commonly given to the last phase of the Chadian-Libyan conflict, which took place in 1987 in Northern Chad and on the Libyan-Chadian border. It takes its name from the Toyota pickup trucks used as technicals to provide mobility for the Chadian troops as they fought against the Libyans. The 1987 war resulted in a heavy defeat for Libya, which, according to American sources, lost one tenth of its army, with 7,500 troops killed and 1.5 billion dollars worth of military equipment destroyed or captured. Chadian losses were 1,000 troops killed.
The war began with the Libyan occupation of northern Chad in 1983, when Libya's leader Muammar al-Gaddafi, refusing to recognize the legitimacy of the Chadian President Hissène Habré, militarily supported the attempt by the opposition Transitional Government of National Unity (GUNT) to overthrow Habré. The plan was foiled by the intervention of France that, first with Operation Manta and later with Operation Epervier, limited Libyan expansion to north of the 16th parallel, in the most desertic and sparsely inhabited part of Chad.

Recent reviews:
January 2, 2015 - I bought the brown, green, multicolor and purple scarfs for gifts and one for myself. Love the colors! I wanted to keep them all, but didn't! My only complaint is the weave is VERY loose so it is easily picked. At first I was disappointed how light weight the scarf is but after wearing it I was fine with it. It kept me warm in the cold wind.
November 23, 2014 - Good value for the price. Might be a little itchy for some people. I like it to keep the chill off my neck with my lightweight down jacket and it's not so warm that I can't leave it on inside, ususally.
November 23, 2014 - I bought the multicolor scarf; the colors are beautiful, and the scarf is a good length. Suitable for wear with a coat outdoors or as an accessory with a t-shirt or sweater.
March 27, 2014 - I love this scarf. The color is perfect, and workmanship is great.
November 22, 2013 - I love this scarf! I got the multicolor and it is beautiful. It is delicate but warm. I am wearing it today.

This week's Read This Next book is In Red by Magdalena Tulli, translated from the Polish by Bill Johnston, and coming out from Archipelago Books in September.
In Red is the fourth Tulli book to come out from Archipelago, following on Dreams and Stones, Flaw, and Moving Parts. The jacket copy from their site isn't overly informative, but does provide a bit of an outline:
In this latest groundbreaking novel, Magdalena Tulli creates a world that is unreal, yet strangely familiar and utterly convincing. Set in a mythical fourth partition of Poland, In Red is full of dreamlike descriptions of the town and its inhabitants; its power lies in Tulli's evocative, almost hallucinatory use of language.
Here's a bit from the introduction Lily Ye wrote for the RTN site:
Miniature in size, and coming in at less than 160 half-sized pages, In Red should not be overlooked. We chose this book precisely for the compact strength Tulli employs in activating language and her enthralling power to quickly induce a vision of a truly fantastic world. This translation by Bill Johnston showcases Tulli's mastery of metaphor and the measured control of her prose.
This book marks the beginning of Tulli's transition into a more narrative style of writing. Her first book Dreams and Stones, which won Poland's Koscielski award for promising writers under 40, has been described by Johnston, her primary translator, as more of a prose poem than a novel. Her latest work, Flaw, already shows her developing a more linear narrative. In Red strikes somewhere in between the two, making for a delightfully surprising read throughout.
Click here to read an extended preview of In Red. And we'll be posting an interview with Bill Johnston tomorrow, and an full review of the book on Friday.

Here's a very cute story of a dog who has found her true calling: as a mother to a stray kitten. Pat Weber's grandson found the tiny kitten in the family's barn, so cold that they questioned whether or not it was still alive. But when it warmed up and started meowing in the house, Weber's 4-year-old Pekingese, Mittens, jumped into action. Mittens was so committed to the kitten that she even started producing milk.

BALTIMORE (AP) - No matter what the standings indicate, the Tampa Bay Rays still believe they can extend their season into October.
And they intend to have fun doing it.
In spite of a painfully familiar 4-2 loss to the Baltimore Orioles on Tuesday night, the fading Rays remained hopeful that it's not too late to turn things around.
Sure, they're in fourth place in the AL East. Yes, Tampa Bay has lost seven of 10 since reaching .500 on Aug. 15. That doesn't necessarily mean they can't rebound from a poor start in this four-game series.
"There will always be time," said starter Alex Cobb, who lasted only four innings. "Mathematically we needed to come out and put on a better performance than these first two days. These were big games. I needed to work deeper in the game and put together a more quality of an outing. But there will never be any quit as long as mathematically we have a chance to get the second wild-card spot."
Evan Longoria, who drove in both Tampa Bay runs, added, "We haven't really played that poorly. We've played pretty well. The pitching staff has done well. I think really just control what we can control, continue to believe and have fun."
Tampa Bay stranded nine, had two runners thrown out at the plate and failed to score after loading the bases in the sixth inning with one out and the game tied.
"Opportunity, opportunity, opportunity and then nothing happens," manager Joe Maddon said. "It's the same refrain - inability to score with runners in scoring position. We had great at-bats. We just have had a hard time finishing that play up. Bases loaded has not been a good play for us either and explanation for that I don't have. It's called baseball. Probably next year we will be like the best team in all of baseball."
Cobb gave up two runs, three hits and three walks. The right-hander is unbeaten since June 23 and has a franchise-record streak of nine starts allowing two runs or fewer.
The Rays got six hits in the first two innings but scored only one run, on a first-inning RBI single by Longoria.
Baltimore went up 2-1 in the fourth. With two out and runners on second and third, Caleb Joseph hit a sinking liner to center that ticked off the glove of a diving Desmond Jennings.
A two-out double by Longoria tied it in the fifth and ended Wei-Yin Chen's shortest outing since June 28.
But the Rays would get only one more hit after that.
Jonathan Schoop singled in the go-ahead run in the sixth inning off Grant Balfour (1-6) to help the Orioles to their 10th win in 14 games against Tampa Bay.
Brad Brach (5-0) got four outs in relief Chen and Zach Britton worked the ninth for his 28th save.

Hottest Australians
By Molly McGonigle
Australia may be home to some of the hottest surfers, cutest kangaroos and craziest AC/DC fans, but there are plenty of Aussies staking their ground in Hollywood. Coincidentally, NBC's new show "Camp" is full of attractive Aussies. In honor of this new summer comedy, let's scroll through and take a gander at some of Australia's sexiest stars! And don't forget to tune into "Camp" on NBC on July 10 at 10 PM.
Rachel Griffiths
From: Melbourne
We've loved this beautiful Aussie ever since "Muriel's Wedding." And if you've been missing her presence on your TV since "Brothers & Sisters" went off the air, then count your lucky stars. This actress's next project on "Camp" will leave you laughing and maybe a little envious that she looks so good in khaki and fishing vests.
(NBC's "Camp" is produced by BermanBraun, the same company that produces Wonderwall.)

Gabilondo will now play for Bilbao until 2012...Athletic Bilbao midfielder Igor Gabilondo has extended his contract at the club by one year and will stay at San Mames until the summer of 2012, the Basque outfit confirmed on Tuesday.
The 31-year-old's contract was due to expire in July 2011 but the midfielder's excellent form for Bilbao this season convinced the club to hand him a one-year contract extension.
Gabilondo has featured in 11 of the 12 Spanish Primera Division games for Bilbao and has been involved in both of Copa del Rey fixtures.
He began his career at another Basque side Real Sociedad and moved to San Mames in 2006.

1. A step-in type overshoe composed of a molded plastic material, said overshoe in its relaxed condition having a plurality of accordion-type pleats formed therein with their fold lines being generally horizontal, said overshoe having a flexible instep area arranged to be deformed upon receiving the toe of a shoe, and latching means releasably compressing the rear end of said accordion-type pleats to permit seating of said shoe within said overshoe.
2. An overshoe according to claim 1 wherein said flexible instep area includes additional accordion-type pleats with their fold lines at an acute angle relative to the generally horizontal fold lines of the other accordion-type pleats.
3. An overshoe according to claim 2 wherein said additional accordion-type pleats extend across the instep area of said overshoe and connect both ends of the other accordion-type pleats.
4. An overshoe according to claim 1 in which said latching means includes a slotted strap extending from said accordion-type pleats.
5. An overshoe according to claim 4 which includes an anchoring lug at the back of said overshoe onto which said strap is arranged to be releasably locked.
6. An overshoe according to claim 1 which includes a pair of upraised, spaced wings in generally parallel spaced relation in the instep area of said overshoe providing said flexible instep area.
7. An overshoe according to claim 1 in which said accordion-type pleats in their relaxed condition extend to the ankle area of the wearer.
8. An overshoe according to claim 1 which includes a shaft portion extending above said accordion-type pleats, said shaft portion having additional accordion-type pleats having their fold lines extending in a generally vertical direction.
9. An overshoe according to claim 1 in which said molded plastic is a vinyl polymer.
10. An overshoe according to claim 1 in which said molded plastic is an acrylonitrile-butadiene-styrene copolymer.
1. Field of the Invention
The present invention is in the field of overshoes which can be put on easily over conventional shoes, and including a molded plastic material having accordion-type pleats and a flexible instep area which permit the wearer to insert the shoe completely into the overshoe without difficulty.
2. Description of the Prior Art
The design of overshoes for wearing during inclement weather has always been met with difficult problems. The overshoe must fit tight enough so that it conforms to the shoe but at the same time it cannot be so tightly fitting that it is difficult to put on. This is particularly true in the case of elderly or infirm people who find it difficult to pull an overshoe over existing shoes when such action requires severe bending of the torso and strong pulling of the overshoe against the friction provided at the sliding surfaces between the overshoe and the regular shoe.
There have been some patent disclosures dealing with flexible overshoes, particularly in the field of disposable overshoes. For example, Hardman U.S. Pat. No. ,652,637 described an overshoe which was adapted to be rolled up and carried in the purse or pocket and consisted of an integral thin structure of flexible homogeneous plastic having a foot portion and an ankle portion. The foot portion was provided with a flat sole, a relatively short toe, and a heel portion. The sole, heel and toe portions were designed to be of increased thickness.
In U.S. Pat. No. 3,283,422 issued to Nygard, there is described a construction for disposable overshoes composed of sheet material which when unfolded loosely fit around the regular shoe.
U.S. Pat. No. 3,634,954 to Larsen et al describes a disposable overshoe of a heat shrink film which is storable in a flat condition, being generally symmetrical about its major axis.
In U.S. Pat. No. 3,737,723 to Kanor there was described another disposable overshoe employing a single flat sheet of flexible heat shrinkable material which was center-folded to form a pair of complementary halves having a straight bottom edge adjacent the centerfold and a top edge. The mating edges were heat sealed together at the back edge, at the front edge, and adjacent the bottom edge.
The present invention provides an improved flexible step-in type overshoe which makes it easier for the user to step into the overshoe with his regular shoes. The overshoe of the present invention includes a molded plastic material which is molded such that in its relaxed condition it has a plurality of accordion-type pleats formed therein with their fold lines being generally horizontal. These pleats extend from one side of the instep area around the back of the shoe, to the other side of the instep area. Coupled with the accordion-type pleats there is a flexible instep area arranged to be deformed upon receiving the toe of a shoe. This instep area may also include additional accordion-type pleats with their fold lines at an acute angle relative to the generally horizontal fold lines of the first-mentioned accordion-type pleats. Latching means are provided which releasably compress the rear end of the accordion-type pleats at the back of the shoe to permit seating of the shoe within the overshoe. Upon release of the latching means, the molded plastic assumes its relaxed condition where it is in snugly fitting relationship with the shoe and protects the shoe as well as the portions of the wearer's leg adjacent the ankle from rain, snow, and the like.
The latching means may include a slotted strap which extends from the horizontally extending accordion-type pleats, cooperating with a lug on the back of the overshoe onto which the strap can be releasably locked. Optionally, it may consist of a molded hook or a strap which extends underneath the heel. Other features of the present invention include a pair of unpraised spaced wings in generally parallel spaced relationship in the instep area of the overshoe to provide the flexibility required in the instep area. In a further embodiment, an improved overshoe of the present invention may include a shaft portion which extends above the accordion-type pleats and has additional accordion-type pleats having their fold lines generally vertical.
A further description of the present invention will be made in conjunction with the attached sheets of drawings which illustrate several embodiments of the invention.
FIG. 1 is a view in perspective of an improved overshoe construction according to the present invention;
FIG. 2 is a cross-sectional view of the overshoe construction shown in FIG. 1 in its relaxed condition;
FIGS. 2A and 2B are fragmentary views of another type of latching means;
FIG. 3 is a plan view of the overshoe construction shown in FIGS. 1-2;
FIG. 4 is a view illustrating a modified overshoe as a street shoe is being inserted into the toe thereof and prior to release of the accordion-type pleats;
FIG. 5 is a view taken substantially along the line V--V;
FIG. 6 is a fragmentary view in perspective of a modified form of the present invention including a different type of instep area;
FIG. 7 is a view illustrating a form of overshoe which is intermediate in height, the view illustrating the condition of the shoe in both its folded and expanded condition;
FIG. 8 is a front elevational view of the type of structure shown in FIG. 7; and
FIG. 9 illustrates still another form of the invention utilizing vertically extending accordion pleats in the upper portion of the overshoe.
In FIG. 1, reference numeral 10 indicates generally a step-in type overshoe of the present invention which is of molded construction and of pleated configuration. The material for the overshoe must be stiff enough to maintain its molded configuration in its relaxed state, but flexible enough to be deformed without being limp. Suitable materials include vinyl polymers such as polyvinyl chloride or copolymers of polyvinyl chloride and polyvinyl acetate. Another suitable rubber-like elastomer is an acrylonitrilebutadiene-styrene copolymer (ABS). The invention is shown applied to a low-cut shoe in FIGS. 1 to 5. This overshoe 10 includes a base portion 11, a heel portion 12, and an instep portion 13. In accordance with the present invention, the sides and the back of the shoe are molded to provide accordion-type pleats 14 having their fold lines generally horizontal as best seen in FIG. 2. The accordion-type pleats 14 extend from one end of the instep area 13 around the back of the shoe and the heel portion 12, to the opposite side of the flexible instep area 13.
The instep area 13 in the form of the invention shown in FIGS. 1 to 3 also includes accordion pleats 15 whose fold lines extend at an acute angle to the fold lines of the main accordion pleats 14. The presence of the accordion pleats 15 in the instep area give the instep area flexibility so that when the street shoe S as shown in FIG. 4 is placed into the overshoe, there is enough resiliency by virtue of the accordion pleats 15 to yield and accommodate some displacement as the shoe S is being placed inside the overshoe.
A strap 16 depends from the upper end of the accordion pleated structure. It includes a slot 17 which is arranged to fit over an anchor such as a lug 18 located above the base of the shoe as illustrated in FIG. 2. When the toe of the conventional shoe S is being slipped into the overshoe, the strap 16 keeps the back end of the accordion pleats compressed as illustrated in FIG. 4 so that the heel of the conventional shoe can be readily accommodated at the heel portion of the overshoe. Then, after the toe and heel of the conventional shoe S are snugly received inside the overshoe, the strap 17 is simply disengaged from the lug 18 permitting the overshoe to return to its normal relaxed form shown in FIG. 2 with the overshoe completely covering the conventional shoe S and protecting the same against rain and snow as well as providing a temperature barrier.
The latch means shown in FIG. 2A includes simply a hook 43 integrally molded onto the top of the boot. The hook 43 is arranged to fit under the heel of the overshoe as shown in FIG. 2B, using complementary serrations 44 and 45 on the heel and hook, if necessary, to hold the hook against the heel. In this form, merely scuffing the heel of the overshoe against the floor is effective to release the engagement of the hook and permit the overshoe to achieve its extended position.
In the form shown in FIGS. 4 and 5, the latching means includes a strap 16 having an elongated keyhole type aperture 46 formed therein and a bent end portion 47 arranged to be received against the heel portion at the sole of the overshoe. Sliding or scuffing movement of the end portion against the floor is effective to release the strap from the lug 18, thereby allowing the pleats to rise to their extended position.
Flexibility in the instep area can also be achieved by the structure shown in FIG. 6 of the drawings. In this form of the invention, the instep area is provided with a pair of upstanding flexible hollow wings 21 and 22 of generally triangular cross section. When the shoe is put into the instep area, the wings provide enough flexibility to accommodate movement between the street shoe and the overshoe until such time as the heel is seated in the overshoe.
A slightly higher type shoe is illustrated in FIGS. 7 and 8 of the drawings. This type of shoe is arranged to provide some protection for the ankle of the wearer and above. The overshoe includes a base portion 23, an instep portion 24 and a heel portion 25. Accordion pleats 26 having their fold lines generally horizontal provide an expansible upper section for the overshoe. The instep area also includes accordion pleats 27 as best seen in FIG. 8 to provide the flexibility necessary in that area. The dashed lines in FIG. 7 illustrate the folded condition of the accordion pleats, while the solid lines indicate the relaxed or extended position of the pleats. A strap 28 provided with a slot 29 is arranged to engage a lug 30 at the bottom of the overshoe as in a previous embodiment.
In FIG. 9 there is shown another embodiment of the invention, the overshoe shown in this Figure including a base portion 33, a heel portion 34, and a shaft portion 35 extending up to the area of the wearer's ankle. Accordion-type pleats 36 having their fold lines substantially horizontal are provided in the lower portion of the shoe, and a strap 37 having a slot 38 is arranged to be received over a lug 39 as in the previously described embodiments.
In the structure of FIG. 9, two sets of accordion pleats 40 and 41 with their fold lines generally vertical are provided on opposite sides of the shaft portion 35. The inner edges of the pleats may be rounded, if desired, to provide a more comfortable fit against the user's leg. The instep area of the overshoe is made inherently flexible by a suitable choice of materials. The overshoe of FIG. 9 is shown in its relaxed or free state, with the accordion-type pleats 36 holding the overshoe open for accommodating entry by the user's shoe.
From the foregoing it will be understood that the improved overshoe of the present invention provides a slip-on capability for applying overshoes over street shoes, making it easier for aged or infirm people to use the overshoe without outside assistance.
It should be evident that various modifications can be made to the described embodiments without departing from the scope of the present invention.
