Louth Local Authorities Archives Service May 2002 Acquisition Policy 1. Introduction & Statement of Authority 1 2. Method of Acquisition: Public Records & Archives 3 3. Method of Acquisition: Private Records & Archives 3 3. Acquisition Conditions 4 1. Introduction & Statement of Authority It is an objective of Louth Local Authorities Archives Service to ensure: "The identification of those archives which constitute a unique and valuable source of information."1 This Acquisition Policy is written in accordance with the Archives Action Plan, of Louth Local Authorities. Louth Local Authorities Archives Service is the official repository for the records and archives of local government in Louth. 1.1 The authority for the acquisition of material by the Archives Service comes from the Local Government Act, 1994. However, the authority to manage acquisition procedures is vested in Louth Local Authorities. 1.2 To meet its objectives, and to comply with Section 65 of the Local Government Act, 1994, the Archives Service must gain access to and/or acquire/control of all records of significance relating to Louth Local Authorities and its predecessor bodies. 1.3 Subsection (1) of the above Act requires "a local authority…to make arrangements for the proper management, custody, care and conservation of local records and local archives". This clearly obliges the local authority to provide proper and sufficient resources as deemed adequate by the Archives Service, to carry out this legal obligation or function. 1.4 Subsection (2) of the above Act states "A local authority may acquire, by purchase, donation, bequest or loan, and undertake the care and conservation of, archival material of local interest which is in the possession of any other person or body (including another local authority)". This states that the local authority is entitled to acquire non-public records/archives and must provide the same proper and sufficient resources to carry out the above functions for these privately owned archival collections as it provides for its own archives and records. 1.5 Subsection (9) and (10) of the above Act state "A person shall not conceal, damage or destroy archives held in accordance with this section and shall not remove, publish or reproduce the whole or any part of any such archives without the written consent of the relevant local authority" and "A person who contravenes subsection (9) shall be guilty of an offence and shall be liable on summary conviction to a fine not exceeding £1,000." In light of this subsection, as stated in the Archives Action Plan: All Staff of Louth Local Authorities shall cooperate with the Archivist to ensure the following: 1 Archives Action Plan, 2000-2003. See www.louthcoco.ie/louth/html/archive.htm "The identification, preservation, and availability of the valuable public and private archives of 1 County Louth." Telephone: 00 353 (0) 42 9339387 Web: www.louthcoco.ie/louth/html/archive.htm Email: firstname.lastname@example.com Louth Local Authorities Archives Service May 2002 (a) No officer or staff member shall alienate, relinquish control over, destroy or dispose of archives and records of Louth Local Authorities without proper authorisation; (b) Officers and staff are to follow the guidelines and utilise the procedures, forms and supplies authorised by the Archives Service in carrying out its work; (c) Officers and staff of Louth Local Authorities are to seek the advice of the archivist in any matter affecting the quality and quantity of archives and records produced by the local authority. 1.6 Subsection (4) of the 1994 Act defined 'local records' as "books, maps, plans, drawings, papers, files, photographs, films, microfilms, and other micrographic records, sound recordings, pictorial records, magnetic tapes, magnetic discs, optical or video discs, other machine-readable records, other documentary or processed material made or received, and held in the course of its business or as successor to any other body by a local authority and includes copies of such records duly made, but does not include: (i) Grants, deeds or other documents of title relating to property for the time being vested in the local authority, and (ii) Any part of the permanent collection of a library, museum or gallery. (b) In this section, 'local archives' includes – (i) "Such records and documents (and copies of them) as are...held by any local archives service operated by any local authority (whether alone or in co- operation with another person or body); (ii) Archival material acquired by a local authority pursuant to subsection (2) (which states a local authority can acquire private archives by purchase, donation, bequest, or loan…); (iii) Other local records which are more than 30 years old, except such records as are certified, in accordance with directions under subsection (3), to be unsuitable for classification as local archives." 1.7 The public or official archives includes the following: (a) Grand Jury; (b) Board of Guardians, Poor Law Commissioners: - Ardee Union - Dundalk Union - Drogheda Union (c) Rural District Councils: - Ardee RDC - Dundalk RDC - Louth RDC (d) Louth County Council; (e) Urban authorities: - Ardee Town Commissioners - Carlingford Corporation - Dundalk Corporation - Dundalk Town Commissioners - Dundalk Urban District Council "The identification, preservation, and availability of the valuable public and private archives of 2 County Louth." Telephone: 00 353 (0) 42 9339387 Web: www.louthcoco.ie/louth/html/archive.htm Email: firstname.lastname@example.com Louth Local Authorities Archives Service May 2002 - Dundalk Town Council - Dunleer Corporation - Drogheda Corporation - Drogheda Borough Council (f) Boards of Health & Public Assistance. 1.8 Private archives may include those of: (a) Harbour authorities such as Drogheda Harbour Commissioners and Dundalk Harbour Commissioners; (b) National Schools; (c) Local Parish Registers; (d) Local committees such as the Vocational Educational Committee; (e) Local business (e.g. solicitors) and estate archives; (f) Individuals such as literary or political figures. 2. Method of Acquisition: Public Records & Archives 2.1 Acquisition decisions of Louth Local Authorities' public records and archives are carried out according to the National Retention Policy. This is a records schedule, which is used in common with other local authorities in Ireland. Records are governed by a three-stage lifecycle (current, non-current, and archive/dispose). The records schedule/NRP lists file series and their record types held by each section of the local authority and states accordingly how long each stage of the life cycle lasts and whether or not the records should be disposed of or sent to archives. 2.2 While in currency, records should be held in the offices where they are created and used, before being sent to the Records Centre for the semi/non-currency stage, before finally being disposed of or sent to archives. 2.3 Records selected for archives are those, which are required for legal, administrative, fiscal, or archival reasons. 3. Method of Acquisition: Private Records & Archives 3.1 The Archivist who is qualified to make an accurate and reasonable assessment of the archival value of material takes the decision on what records/archives should be acquired. 3.2 Archival value means evidential or informational values of archives, which warrants the permanent preservation of archives. Evidential value can include that of the authority, policies, structure, functions, and transactions of the body or individual that created them. Evidential value reflects development. Informational value includes that of the information contained in the record/archive, which may be used for future research, reference, or information purposes that were not originally envisaged by the creator. 3.3 The County Archivist is selective when acquiring material. Not all records warrant permanent archival preservation. Particularly in the case of bodies, which possess an accrual of records, only those records/archives that fully reflect the development of the body will be acquired in order to achieve the best value of "The identification, preservation, and availability of the valuable public and private archives of 3 County Louth." Telephone: 00 353 (0) 42 9339387 Web: www.louthcoco.ie/louth/html/archive.htm Email: email@example.com Louth Local Authorities Archives Service May 2002 resources. This may be done in conjunction with a records management programme. 3.4 The direct effect on important (and sometimes limited) preservation resources such as storage, copying and conservation is taken into account when assessing the value of archival material. Account will also be taken of the physical nature and condition, archival value and use of the records. 3.5 Due to the present backlog of public records and archives and the resources available (such as storage space, staff, time, and funding), Louth Local Authorities Archives Service will acquire private records/archives only when it sees fit to do so, which may be under one or all of the following circumstances: (i) If the collection is of importance and is deemed by the Archivist to be vulnerable to immediate destruction; (ii) If the collection is of high historical importance or great significance to the County. 3.6 Until the present backlog of public records clears, Louth Local Authorities Archives Service will not be pro-active in the acquisition of private records and archives. When the backlog is cleared, the acquisition policy will be reviewed. 3.7 Louth Local Authorities Archives Service will acquire private records/archives by donation or loan. Archives will only be purchased in exceptional circumstances (i.e. if resources allow). 3.8 Donations and loans are governed by the Depositor's Agreement Form & Conditions. Depositors/donors (i.e. person legally responsible) of collections must complete and return this form when depositing a collection in Louth Local Authorities Archives Service. 3.9 If a collection is donated, ownership of the documents passes from the donor to the Archives Service. If a collection is deposited, ownership of the documents remains with the depositor, unless otherwise specified under conditions discussed with the Archivist. 4. Acquisition Conditions 4.1 The person transferring material to the Archives Service must ensure that they are authorised to do so. 4.2 If transferring records or archives to the Archives Service, the person doing so must ensure that they do so in a safe and secure manner, i.e.: (i) Material should be properly packed and boxed; (ii) No open-backed vehicles should be used; (iii) No stopovers should take place; (iv) Upon arrival at the Archives Service, material should be placed in the Acquisitions Room, not the public area, and archives staff notified. 4.3 Public files due for transfer to the Records Centre, as opposed to the Archives Service (at present the Records Centre is situated within the Archives accommodation), should be boxed by staff in the particular section before departure and be accompanied by a Transfer List (see Records Management Procedures). On arrival at the Records Centre, a member of staff there checks the Transfer List against "The identification, preservation, and availability of the valuable public and private archives of 4 County Louth." Telephone: 00 353 (0) 42 9339387 Web: www.louthcoco.ie/louth/html/archive.htm Email: email@example.com Louth Local Authorities Archives Service May 2002 the contents of the box, and inputs the data on the Transfer List into the database and also records the location of the box on the shelves. 4.4 For conditions on the donation or loan of private records and archives see the Depositor's Agreement Form & Conditions. 4.5 Any material held by the Archives Service will be subject to appraisal surveys carried out by the Archivist. Material deemed to be of no archival value, will be returned to the owner, or destroyed upon the owner's written consent. The Archives Service holds the right to return an archival collection to its owner or depositor, or to transfer with the owner's approval, to a more appropriate place of deposit.

We started at a private ranch and went down stream approx. 9 miles. Took out at Alamo River Resort in Von Ormy which is a camping park on the Medina.
We spent the night and really enjoyed the quiet and solitude and it is so close to downtown, right on the SA city limits.
This is a wild river, some trees that have to be gotten around. Small portage around a Bexar Met take out coffer dam. Fishing seemed pretty good, saw no snakes.

Train from Malaga or Madrid to Lourdes (France)

Train from Malaga or Madrid to Lourdes (France)
Hi, I need help please. Can anyone advise the best way to get to Lourdes (France) in May from either Malaga or Madrd by train. I have looked at the RENFE web site - it is difficult to make sense of. Is the best option go to San Sebastian then Bayonne - Lourdes or via Barcelona and into France. Many thanks.1
No, the best option is Madrid-Hendaye-Bayonne-Lourdes.Buy tickets from Madrid to Hendaye at http://www.renfe.com and from Hendaye to Lourdes at http://www.voyages-sncf.com.
'I have looked at the RENFE web site - it is difficult to make sense of.' - Well, I have never had a problem. However, unless you know the network, it will not assist well with indirect journeys and more especially as Lourdes is not in Spain - no surprise.If you want all permutations for whatever journey use www.bahn.de
Hi Liztilly!Welcome to TT!
If you want to make all the route by train, you have two main options:
1) Málaga-Madrid-Hendaye-(Bayonne)-Lourdes. You would need to make an overnight stay in Madrid or in Hendaye. You would need to change stations in Madrid (from Puerta de Atocha to Chamartín). Most train options from Hendaye to Lourdes mean a change of trains in Bayonne. In order to know schedules and fares, use the web of RENFE for the Málaga to Madrid leg and the Madrid to Hendaye leg as well as the commuter schedule for the leg from Puerta de Atocha to Chamartín. Use the web of the SNCF for the route from Hendaye to Lourdes. The web of the SNCF works fine looking for options changing trains so you won't have to make a separate search for each leg as you should do in the RENFE web.
2) Málaga-Barcelona-Narbonne-Toulouse-Lourdes. You would need to depart Málaga early on the morning and to make an overnight stay in Toulouse although, if you prefer, there are other options overnighting in Barcelona. Use the web of RENFE for the Málaga-Barcelona leg and from the Barcelona-Narbonne leg. Use the web of the SNCF for the rest of the legs. As an overnight stay in Toulouse would be required, you could need to look for the leg from Toulouse to Lourdes separately in the web of the SNCF.
from either Malaga or Madrd by train.Can you just clarify? Do you want information about travel from both departure points or just the better of the two?

The chair of the House Science, Space, and Technology Committee Lamar Smith (R-Texas) (pictured) says that an unforeseen meteor exploding in the sky above Russia, on the same day that a large asteroid passed relatively close to Earth, are a stark reminder of the need to invest in space science. "Asteroid 2012 DA14 passed just 17,000 miles from Earth, less than the distance of a round trip from New York to Sydney. And ... a much smaller meteorite hit near the Russian city of Chelyabinsk, damaging buildings and injuring hundreds.
"Developing technology and research that enable us to track objects like Asteroid 2012 DA14 is critical to our future. We should continue to invest in systems that identify threatening asteroids and develop contingencies, if needed, to change the course of an asteroid headed toward Earth. "Fifty years ago, we would have had no way of seeing an asteroid like this coming. Now, thanks to the discoveries NASA has made in its short history, we have known about 2012 DA14 for about a year. As the world leader in space exploration, America has made great progress for mankind. But our work is not done. We should continue to study, research, and explore space to better understand our universe and better protect our planet." Smith said the Science, Space, and Technology Committee will hold a hearing in the coming weeks to examine ways to better identify and address asteroids that pose a potential threat to Earth.

A Strange Tale,
This review is from: Heaven (Paperback)
Customer review from the Amazon Vine Programme (What's this?)
I found the start of this book rather interesting. David, a young man living in London, is on the roof of a building late one night when he comes across a murder victim. The problems start when he finds that although someone has stolen her heart she doesn't seem to be dead. She, of course, is called Heaven. So far, so good.The blurb on the back of the book describes it as an "urban fairy tale" and that's what this is. It seems that Heaven's mother was not your ordinary mortal. Now she and David have to solve the puzzle of her birth, find out why there is a missing part of the sky and try to restore her stolen heart.(Hey, it's a fairy story!) The story plods along at a reasonable pace, but I found it hard to care very much about the characters. The creation of a well-dressed villain who calls himself Mr Drood or Mr Scrooge and has a strong desire to hurt people with knives is reasonably chilling, but at no time did I feel really engaged by the book. At over 400 pages it's quite long and at times I became bored with some of the rather wordy descriptions. Still, if you like this sort of thing it's well enough written, I guess. |

A musical journey.
A forbidding orchestral soundscape that leads to an enigmatic hero and his epic deeds.
This piece is whatever you want it to be. As long as you want it to be huge, epic and dark.
If you picture something different, let me know in the comments!
Enjoy and review!

January 2013
Looking Ahead to a New Year of WTC Milestones Visible milestones marked steady progress at the World Trade Center site in 2012. Over the past year, both 1 WTC and 4 WTC topped out at 105 and 72 stories, respectively; the Vehicular Security Center was structurally completed; and the WTC Transportation Hub took shape at grade with its iconic cast-steel ribs supporting its substructure.
Updates on each of the WTC projects were presented by Port Authority Assistant Director of WTC Construction Quentin Brathwaite at the January 2013 Community Board 1 Planning Committee meeting.
February 2013
LMCCC Reports on Logistics and Storm Recovery While its main charge has been to help mitigate and facilitate construction south of Canal Street, since last fall, the Lower Manhattan Construction Command Center (LMCCC) also has helped coordinated some of the Hurricane Sandy downtown recovery efforts. The agency presented a general update to the Community Board 1 Planning Committee in February 2013, breaking down some of the hurricane-recovery steps and latest logistics affecting the downtown community.
Spring Milestones for East River Waterfront The pilot section of the renovated East River Waterfrontesplanade has added much-needed open and recreational space to the Financial District, and now the city Economic Development Corporation is nearing completion of its next section in time for spring. By approximately late March, the area from the Battery Maritime Building north to Pier 11/Old Slip (called "Package 2") will open with new pavers, planters, and other esplanade features.
March 2013
Brooklyn Bridge Work Crosses Halfway Mark It is a landmark and an icon -- but for the approximately 139,000 daily motorists, pedestrians, and cyclists, the Brooklyn Bridge remains, simply, a vital East River crossing. So when the New York City Department of Transportation launched its $509 million bridge-rehabilitation project in early 2010, commuters could start looking forward to a new bridge roadway and widened ramps, so long as they also practiced patience during the upcoming four years of construction.
Today, the Brooklyn Bridge Rehabilitation project is about halfway complete. Work is steady, and crews from the project team, led by Skanska Koch, have established a rhythm for nightly lane closures, which allow for the critical project task of deck repairs on the approach ramps, as well as other restorative work.
April 2013
FTA Allocates $1 Billion for Sandy Recovery Governor Andrew Cuomo announced that the Federal Transit Administration has allocated $1 billion in funding to aid in New York's Superstorm Sandy recovery. The funding is in addition to more than $193 million in initial reimbursement already allocated to the Metropolitan Transportation Authority (MTA), and $3 million from the Federal Emergency Management Agency to MTA Bridges and Tunnels.
The MTA system suffered an estimated $4.755 billion worth of damage as railroad and subway lines, vehicular tunnels, subway stations, and power and signal equipment were inundated with corrosive salt water during Sandy.
Pier A Rehabilitation Nearing Completion Restoration and construction work at Pier A, the landmark structure on the west side of Battery Park, is on track for completion this June. The update was presented to Community Board 1 this week by several project managers, including Greenlight Architects and the Poulakakos Family, who will take over the pier upon completion of the $30 million core and shell rehabilitation.
The Battery Park City Authority, which has overseen the project, said that extensive damage caused by Hurricane Sandy delayed the overall schedule by several months. But now the historic building is approximately 60 days from substantial completion, which restored its facade, perimeter plaza, interior structural components, and stairs. Some new additions, such as restrooms and two elevators, also will make the building ADA-compliant.
City Launches Pilot for Fiber-Optic Installation This week, the City of New York and Verizon announced the launch of an innovative pilot program to speed the deployment of fiber-optic cabling to businesses and residences across the five boroughs while minimizing construction time, environmental impact and cost. Called "micro-trenching," this initiative demonstrates and tests the effectiveness of installing small conduits within the edges of city sidewalks to house fiber-optic cabling, which can be used to deliver voice, Internet and cable-television service.
The excess capacity provided by micro-trenching will be available for use by other communications industry providers, as well as by city agencies, at no cost for the duration of the pilot.
WTC Takes Shape from Towers to Tunnels With only one segment remaining, the spire atop 1 World Trade Center is on track for completion this month. The 408-foot-tall finial completes the tower's full height of 1,776 feet, while work continues throughout the 1,368-foot-tall skyscraper. The Port Authority presented the latest updates to Community Board 1 in April 2013, noting that 55 percent of the building is pre-leased, and tenant floors are now being built out.
Construction also continues concurrently in several more areas of the iconic tower, most visibly on floors 90 and 100, where facade installation is substantially complete. Because those floors house mechanical and ventilation systems, the facade takes on a different appearance due to air vents built into the glass panels, which allow air to pass through and cool equipment.
May 2013
Final 1 WTC Spire Pieces Ascend to Roof The last of 18 sections of 1 World Trade Centers steel spire today were lifted more than 140 stories high, onto the towers roof. The two final pieces will be affixed this week, completing the 408-foot-tall antenna and bring the buildings total height to 1,776 feet. Port Authority crews have installed the massive steel components one at a time since December 2012, along with the rooftop parapet that will form a ring around the base of the spire.
June 2013
New Meets Old at Fulton Center Side by side along Broadway, the modern, glass-and-steel Fulton Center building stands beside the newly restored Corbin Building, exemplifying much of what Lower Manhattan is known for: rich history and contemporary revitalization. Located on the east side of Broadway between Fulton and John, the two buildings together form the Metropolitan Transportation Authority's new $1.4 billion Fulton Center. With just over one year left to complete the new complex, several new and renovated elements already are in use -- including new entrances at Broadway and Dey Street, 135 William, and other locations.
Peck Slip Reconstruction Set for Early Completion Some of Lower Manhattans oldest utilities and cobblestone streets are now nearly completely rebuilt -- two years ahead of schedule. Thanks to coordination by city Department of Design and Construction (DDC), Con Edison, Empire City Subway, and other crews and agencies, several segments of the Peck Slip Reconstruction project are finished or soon will be.
The $24 million capital project kicked off in July 2011 to replace outdated infrastructure including water mains that date from the Civil War era. In addition, full roadways, sidewalks and curbs on segments of Water, Front, Beekman and Peck Slip are now rebuilt from within the roadbed up to the surface. Because crews were able to work at multiple sites concurrently, with half or full traffic closures, the entire project was expedited and is now slated for substantial completion in late 2013.
July 2013
City Bolsters Preparedness and Building Resiliency As the city continues its Hurricane Sandy recovery efforts, Mayor Michael Bloomberg and City Council Speaker Christine Quinn recently released the recommendations of the Building Resiliency Task Force -- the expert panel they convened after Hurricane Sandy to outline steps to fortify New York's buildings and strengthen building standards.
"We have to be able to withstand and recover quickly from all hazards posed by climate change," said Bloomberg. "That's why [we will] address this enormously important task and begin the process of putting it into action. The specific recommendations cover important ways to make every kind of building in the city safer from future storms."
Oculus Steel Comes Into Focus at WTC Hub The core shape of the soaring new Transportation Hub at the World Trade Center is becoming increasingly visible, with Port Authority crews installing above-grade steel there since spring. With more than 12,000 tons of steel planned to comprise the $3.9 billion structure, workers are receiving oversized components via truck overnight, and securing them in place by day.
Currently, the sections are being installed on the east and west ends of the "oculus," the long glass-and-steel archway that will form the main-concourse roof. The large steel members are now being welded into place, and in early 2014 the extended "wings" will start to be installed to complete the unique superstructure, designed to resemble a bird in flight.
August 2013
City Begins Lower Broadway Reconstruction Project The week of August 5th, the city Department of Design and Construction (DDC) will begin the Broadway Phase 1capital reconstruction project. Starting on Broadway between Rector and Ann Street, crews will work in two-block segments along the west side. Segment 1 started at Rector and Thames Street, in August through approximately December 2013. Upon completion, crews will work between Thames and Liberty Street through approximately July 2014. Other segments will be scheduled as work progresses north, with each work area under reconstruction for approximately six months.
New Pace Dorm Opens on Broadway With the beginning of the 2013-14 school year comes the opening of the brand-new Pace University residence hall at 180 Broadway, on the corner of John Street. The 24-story dormitory opens over Labor Day weekend, after a two-year construction process. The building will be home to approximately 600 upper-class Pace students, including fourth-floor common areas, fitness center, and staff offices. At ground level, TD Bank and fashion retailer Urban Outfitters are now in the process of building out their spaces.
September 2013
Towering Above Tribeca at 56 Leonard Street In the past decade, Lower Manhattan's incredible transformation has touched everything from parks and subway stations, to new commercial towers and major residential conversions. And though they have benefited countless residents, visitors, and local workers, few of these additions have left their mark on the downtown skyline like the handful of structures that ascend upwards of 800 feet into the sky.
The latest member of that elite, iconic club is 56 Leonard Street, the 821-foot-tall skyscraper headed to a modest corner of eastern Tribeca. The new tower stands out in several ways, but top among them is its innovative design by Swiss architects Herzog and de Meuron, creators of Beijing's "Bird's Nest" stadium and London's Tate Modern museum.

Oklahoma City Zoo camps turn lazy summer days into knowledge, fun
Technology camp
The camps also implement technology whenever possible. Campers download apps to their phones that help them identify a particular animal or plant species. The information is at their fingertips as they see different exhibits at the zoo.
"There are different apps that are very useful in identifying animals and plants and sometimes I get asked questions that I might not know the answer to so I pull out my phone and we quickly identify the species," Bridgewater said. "It's an arsenal of knowledge they can tap in to and it doesn't have to be just while they're at the zoo. The hope is they explore these things on their own time too. This is where technology and the wild can meet."
Randall said one of the goals of the camps is to help participants be better stewards of the world around them. Knowledge is a big part of that.
"Getting kids outside and aware is the most important thing we do," she said. "We give them some behind the scenes experiences that they will hopefully take with them. You hope it has an impact. And it's done in small groups which adds to the experience."

US 5282595 A Abstract An article support is shown having an upper portion of expanded surface area and a bottom portion from which depends structure for attaching the support to a rail member of a deck or patio. The upper portion may be formed of a series of spaced slats or it may be formed having a continuous surface. Several embodiments are shown forming the depending structure including one or more pairs of generally L-shaped elements, the elements of each pair spaced a fixed or an adjustable distance in relation to one another. Another embodiment uses an elongated flexible strap for attachment to a rail. Yet another embodiment provides compensation for manufacturers variation on rail sizes, with a spring biased cantilever surface portion.
Claims(7) 1. Article support apparatus comprising an upper body portion having an expanded article support surface defined by a selected outer periphery and a bottom portion, rail engaging means disposed inwardly of the outer periphery and depending downwardly from the bottom portion and being adapted to closely engage at least two opposed sides of a rail member, a series of apertures formed in a row in the bottom portion, the rail engaging means comprising a pair of spaced apart, aligned elements, at least one of the elements having at an end thereof a spring arm receivable in an aperture of the row and a locking arm received in another aperture of the row upon compression of the spring arm.
2. Article support apparatus according to claim 1 in which the upper body portion comprises a plurality of parallel extending, spaced slat members, allowing drainage between adjacent slat members through the upper body portion.
3. Article support apparatus according to claim 2 in which the outer slat member on each opposite side has a height greater than the remaining slat members.
4. Article support apparatus according to claim 1 in which both elements of the pair of spaced apart, aligned elements are formed with spring and locking arms.
5. Article support apparatus comprising an upper body portion having an expanded article support surface defined by a selected outer periphery and bottom portion, rail engaging means disposed inwardly of the outer periphery and depending downwardly from the bottom portion and being adapted to closely engage at least two opposed sides of a rail member, the rail engaging means comprising of a pair of spaced apart, aligned, generally L-shaped elements having first and second legs formed of resilient material, a first leg of each element of a pair facing the respective first leg of the other element of the pair and an integrally formed tongue is struck out of at least one of the first legs, the tongue extending in a cantilever fashion having a free distal end and being permanently deformed out of a plane in which the respective first leg lies towards the other first leg of the pair.
6. Article support apparatus according to claim 5 in which a projection is formed on the free distal end of the tongue, the projection having a smooth tapered surface extending to the tongue above and below the projection.
7. Article support apparatus comprising an upper body portion having an expanded article support surface defined by a selected outer periphery and bottom portion, rail engaging means disposed inwardly of the outer periphery and depending downwardly from the bottom portion and being adapted to closely to engage at least two opposed sides of a rail member, the rail engaging means comprising a strap having opposite ends with one end fixed to the bottom portion, a member having opposite sides mounted on a bottom surface of the bottom portion and being formed with a slot extending through the member between the opposite sides, the slot adapted to receive the other end of the strap whereby the strap can be wrapped around a rail member and received through the slot.
Description The present invention generally relates to a device for supporting various articles and more specifically to a tray particularly adapted for mounting on a rail type surface such as those used with deck and patio construction. Decks and patios defining outdoor living space have become very popular in recent years. Frequently such decks and patios are raised above ground level and generally are circumscribed with some type of rail to provide containment of occupants, as well as to provide a convenient structure on which to lean or rest one's elbows. Small tables are frequently used to provide a surface on which to place various articles such as beverages, food, plants and the like. However, during social gatherings, since many of such decks and patios are relatively small in surface area, people tend to use the top side of the rail surfaces as a support for their beverages, plants and the like. Since the rail surface is relatively narrow this presents limited space on which to place items as well as a precarious and unsafe location with significant likihood of items being accidentally knocked off the surface. Although conventional trays can be balanced on flat top surfaces of rails to provide greater storage space they are even more unstable since a proper balance of items on the tray has to be maintained to prevent tipping of the tray. Therefore, the present invention is directed to the object of providing a unique solution for a means to attach a article support device to a rail member. It is an object of the present invention to provide an improved, stable article support particularly adapted for use with outdoor decks and patios. Another object of the invention is the provision of an article support having expanded surface area for use with rails of outdoor decks and patios which is light in weight and easy to assemble and which will not disfigure or damage the rail. Yet another object is the provision of a stable support for various articles which can be readily attached to rails of various sizes. These and other objects of the present invention will become more fully apparent from the following detailed description when read in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, in which like reference numerals refer to like parts. Briefly, in accordance with the invention, an article support has top and bottom portions with means including at least two spaced downwardly depending elements disposed on the bottom portion for secure engagement with opposite sides of the rail. According to a feature of the invention, the downwardly depending elements are optionally movable to provide adjustable spacing to fit different size rails. The top portion is enlarged to provide an expanded article support area and may comprise a solid surface or a plurality of spaced slats. According to a feature of the invention an upstanding side wall preferably circumscribes the solid surface and in the spaced slat embodiment the outer two slats are of greater height than the inner slats. According to one embodiment a plurality of generally L-shaped elements have one leg attached to the bottom portion of the article support and have a second leg extending downwardly therefrom. The second legs of a pair are spaced a selected distance from one another equidistantly relative to the front and back extremities of the top portion of the article support so that a rail member can be closely received between the second legs of each pair. Preferably the L-shaped elements of a pair are relatively adjustably movable toward and away from each other to accommodate different sizes of rails. Modified embodiments include adjustable snap in legs comprising resiliently compressible and expandable locking tabs and a cooperating vertically extended support engageable with the rails outer surfaces. Another modified embodiment comprises a strap like device adapted to wraparound the outer surface of a rail. Yet another modification includes cantilever spring elements formed in the legs to compensate for variation between rails due to manufacturing tolerances and the like. Referring now to the drawings, as seen in FIG. 1 and 1a, this invention comprises an article support assembly 1 having an upper suppose portion having an article support surfaces and a bottom portion 2 including rail engaging means 6 for attaching support assembly 1 to a rail. The article support assembly and means of attachment can more specifically be defined as a portion having a top surface area with relative thickness 3, typically including a bottom portion 2, with a rail engaging means 6 for attaching the suppose assembly to a rail. The upper portion comprise a series of spaced apart slats 4, preferably equally spaced as seen in FIG. 1, wherein the outer slat members 7 on each opposite side preferably have a height greater than the remaining slat members 4. However, if desired, the upper support portion of article support assembly 1' may be formed having a continuous solid upper surface 5' as shown in FIG. 1a. It is within the purview of the invention to provide shapes other than a rectangular configuration. A rail 8 (FIG. 2a), part of a typical deck or patio construction 9, is particularly suitable to be received between a pair of aligned downwardly depending, spaced rail engaging elements 6 of the article support assembly 1. With reference to FIGS. 2a-c, rail engaging elements 6 typically depend from the bottom portion 2 of the article support assembly, are shown fragmented in FIG. 2b on the rail, separated from the bottom portion 2. The bottom portion 2 having at least one pair of aligned, rail engaging elements 6, as seen in FIG. 2c, for vertically centrally balanced load support, extending downwardly from the bottom surface of the bottom portion 2 of the article support, assembly closely engage a minimum of two opposed rail surfaces 10. The aligned rail engaging elements 6 extend downwardly generally in parallel relation to each other. In the first embodiment the rail engaging elements are generally L-shaped fastened to the bottom surface of bottom portion 2 of the article support assembly using a conventional fastener 11 shown in FIG. 3. A plurality of separate pairs of parallel extended elements are preferably positioned to engage with longitudinally spaced portions of rail surfaces 10. A modified embodiment is shown in FIG. 4 wherein a surface 12 extending downwardly from the bottom portion 2' of the article support assembly may be a single pair of vertical surfaces as part of and integrally formed with the upper support portion extending outwardly from the bottom portion 2' bottom surface, or it may comprise a single fixed attaching element 12 in conjunction with an adjustable attaching element shown in FIGS. 5a and 5b to comprise an aligned pair of rail engaging elements. The rail engaging element shown in FIGS. 5a and 5b illustrate a selectively adjustable rail engaging element 6' in FIG. 5a and 6" in FIG. 5b. In FIG. 5a element 6' has a resilient locking mechanism 14 comprised of a resilient compressible and expandable lock arm 13 and spring arm 16. Tubular support surface 2" is formed with a plurality of spaced apertures 15 in a row formed in the bottom wall portion of support surface 2' having spaced upper and lower wall portions. Spring arm 16 is received in a selected aperture and compressed, allowing engagement of the locking arm 13 in another of the series of apertures. In FIG. 5c rail engaging element 6" comprises a spring arm 16' configured as a mirror image of locking arm 13'. Spring arm 16' and locking arm 13' are cammed into selected apertures 15 to provide desired adjustment. Yet another embodiment is shown in FIGS. 6a and 6b, wherein an elongated strap like member 17 with substantial length having an attaching end 18.1 and an opposite end fixed to the bottom portion 2'" on the bottom surface thereof by any suitable means is adapted to wrap around the outer surface of rail 8 with end 18.1 received, as shown at 18, in a slot 18.2 formed in a member 18.3 attached to the bottom surface to prevent up and down vertical movement of the support assembly. Another embodiment shown in FIGS. 7a and 7b provides a means to compensate for variations between rails having slightly different thicknesses due to manufacturing tolerances and the like. The rail engaging elements 6'" comprising a minimum of one pair of aligned, downwardly extending generally L-shaped elements preferably spring biased 19 surface portion in the form of a tongue 20 formed in the leg of at least one of the elements of a pair and integrally attached thereto in cantilever fashion facing toward corresponding leg of the other element of the respective pair. The tongue has a free distal end which is permanently bent out of the plane in which the remainder of the leg lies and extends toward the other corresponding leg. The tongue is formed with a projection having a taper 21, 22 on either side thereof in the vertical plane for ease of engaging and disengaging the article support with minimal resistance. From the above description it will be seen the article support assembly conveniently increases the overall effective surface area of the rail. The downwardly extending rail engaging means having means engaging at least two opposed surfaces of a rail provides secure, stable support for the upper body portion. The rail attachment or engagement means are centrally located to provide a firm, balanced support surface for various articles, even articles of considerable weight, such as flower pots and the like. When a plurality of pairs of attachment elements are employed they are located in parallel relationship with one another and are disposed from the center of the rail outwardly and equidistantly spaced in opposite directions. The rail attachment means are adapted to engage rails of various widths, for example from one to nine inches or more. Availability of space and storage area is optimized by using the article support assembly made in accordances with the invention. The article support assembly can easily be made using inexpensive construction techniques and can be easily assembled and disassembled and conveniently stored, without disfiguring or marring a rail member. While several illustrative embodiments of the invention have been shown and described, numerous variations and alternative embodiments will occur to those skilled in the art without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention. Accordingly, it is intended that the present invention not be limited solely to the specifically described illustrative embodiments. Various modifications are contemplated and can be made without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention as defined by the appended claims. FIG. 1 is a top perspective view of an article support assembly made in accordance with the invention; FIG. 1a is a view similar to FIG. 1 of a modified embodiment; FIG. 2a is a top perspective view of the FIG. 1 support about to be engaged with a rail; FIG. 2b is a portion of FIG. 2a shown with the rail engaging elements separated from the support for purposes of illustration; FIG. 2c is a side view illustrating the minimum of two surfaces in contact with the rail. FIG. 3 is a perspective view of the rail engaging elements of the FIG. 1 embodiment; FIG. 4 is a perspective view of a modified embodiment of the invention; FIG. 5a is a cross-sectioned view taken through a modified support; FIG. 5b is a perspective view of FIG. 5a support and rail engaging element used therewith; FIG. 5c is a perspective view of another modified rail engaging element; FIG. 6a and 6b are side and perspective views respectively of another embodiment of the invention; and FIG. 7a is a cross-sectional view of another embodiment of the invention shown in perspective in FIG. 7b.

HBO Releases 'Girls' Season 2 Teaser (Video)
Lena Dunham and friends return for 10 more episodes beginning in January.
If HBO's teaser is an indicator, all seems well in the universe of Girls.
A notably sunny 30-second clip shows snippets of all the principal cast members of the buzzy series -- Lena Dunham, Allison Williams, Jemima Kirke and Zosia Mamet -- filming on location at Cafe Grumpy in Brooklyn.
STORY: 'Girls' Creator Lena Dunham Cites Miley Cyrus as Inspiration for New Hairstyle
There's no plot revealed other than shots of the cast alternately laughing, smiling or looking pensive while sitting around a table. Adam Driver, who plays Dunham's love interest in the first season (but will reportedly have competition from Patrick Wilson in the upcoming episodes), also makes an appearance in the teaser.
STORY: Review: 'Girls' Is Brilliant Gem For HBO
For now, at least, the clip will have to tide fans over until the show's premiere on HBO in January.

This paper argues against particularism about social criticism of the form presented by Walzer. I contend that while limitation of the scope of criticism depends on the existence of our shared meanings, which are not shared by them, shared meaning itself depends on society. So, an account of society showing that societies are not discrete and mutually inaccessible refutes particularism. I argue for such an account. I deal with the objection that the focus of particularism is culture, not society, and conclude that the conditions of possibility of shared meaning have anti-particularist consequences.

An Unnecessary "Kosher" Certification
If you're new here, you may want to subscribe to my RSS feed and "Like" my fan page on Facebook. Thanks for visiting!
It has become fairly common to see two or more kosher certifications on products, primarily to increase the size of the market to include those that have more trust in the added certification. This is particularly true for Chasidic Jews who tend to rely on "Chasidic" certifications. In reality, in most cases, there are no changes made to either the ingredients or the production process. In a sense, the secondary certification merely confirms the integrity of the kashrus worthiness of the product. It has been proven to increase sales for many products.
Not so is the case with the pending Magen Tzedek symbol, which is being introduced by Rabbi Morris Allen, a Conservative rabbi from Minneapolis. The new symbol which is designed to confirm that a kosher product is also produced in accordance with ethical standards developed by the group is not expected to gain any traction with either kosher manufacturers or consumers. During the heat of the Rubashkin scandal, the outcry by the group did not cause any reduction in sales of Agriprocessor products. In fact in a survey of 25 retail establishments in 12 states just weeks after a government raid on the Postville IA plant, none of the stores even reported any complaints that the products were carried by the store. The criteria for all categories of kosher consumers were then what it always is: price, quality and kashrus.
It is not clear who the group is targeting since most of the nation's kosher products are produced by giant food producers who certainly meet the tests of the Magen Tzedek standards. That would potentially leave only the smaller kosher producing companies who are unlikely to assume the burden of a new tax by Conservative rabbis. In promoting his new symbol, Rabbi Allen took a nasty swipe at kashrus agencies who have responsibly contributed mightily to the growth of kosher. He told the Forward: "This is a serious religious undertaking to help restore a culture of kashrus in America. " This is one certification that is certifiably DOA, as it should be when it tries to usurp the traditional role of kashrus supervision and the oversight of government on labor, health, and animal welfare.

Kate was wearing a velvet ribbon in her hair!
Omg!!!!! I love that!!!!!!
The hair combined with the necklace and the dress…its just pure perfection! It looks so modern and i love that her hair is a little messy! It looks fun!!
The hair makes it look very "Oh, this old thing? Yeah I just threw this together and ran out the door." 100% effortless.
OMG the ribbon!!!! I love that!! This is so weird, because a couple of weeks go I tied my hair with a ribbon and said I was hoping it would be fashionable someday :D Hair ribbons are so feminine and classic.
