Product Description
Product Description
Actors: Bill Bartek - Dustin Konzelman - Kandice Pelletier - Phil Keoghan. Director: Bert Van Munster. Format: DVD. Runtime: 650 Mins. Language: English. Region code: Region 1 (United States, Canada, Bermuda, U.S. territories). Discs: 4. Rating: Unrated. Genre: TV. Subgenre: Adventure. Release Year: 2005.
For its seventh edition, The Amazing Race welcomed two familiar faces. Reality TV vets Rob and Amber were one of eleven teams competing for the million-dollar prize. The other contestants covered the spectrum, like boyfriends Lynn and Alex, brothers Brian and Greg, married couple Uchenna and Joyce, and mother/son duo Susan and Patrick. The latter decides he'll do whatever it takes to beat Boston Rob. As he notes in the season premiere, "I watched Survivor. He's as dumb as a rock." The shows top-rated installment spanned five continents and 40,000 miles, from Long Beach, CA to Fort Lauderdale, FL. Other pit stops include Buenos Aires, Istanbul, and London. Some of the more colorful challenges include llama herding in Peru and cave rappelling in South Africa, while the emotional high point is a trip to a Soweto orphanage, an experience that reduces Uchenna and Joyce to tears. There will also be sacrifices along the way, as when Gretchen, the second oldest contestant--after her 69-year-old husband, Meredith--has a frightening fall and Joyce says so long to her hair. The seventh season of The Amazing Race is broken into 12 episodes, including three two-part programs. This boxed set features a mini-documentary, chatty commentary from four of the highest-ranked teams, and over three hours of deleted material. After the race aired, Lynn and Alex and Rob and Amber--on network TV, naturally--tied the knot. It was also revealed that Joyce once had a recurring role on Star Trek: The Next Generation. --Kathleen C. Fennessy

I've bought Seasons 1 & 7 and I've loved it a lot.Now, I'm asking why CBS does'nt make more? To everyone who wants more of Amazing Race, please speak up and maybe they'll listen to us. Give us all seasons (except family edition).
Most Helpful Customer Reviews on Amazon.com (beta)
Personally, I think Seasons 3 and 6 have been the strongest, but this edition has one really great team (Brian and Greg), the requisite team you love to hate (Ray and Deana), the token old couple (Meredith and Gretchen) that refuses to go quietly into that good night (NEVER bet on the old couple to be eliminated first on any TAR season), a stereotypically snarky gay couple (Lynn and Alex), and the ever-popular team where you can't believe the words that are coming out of their mouths (from Kelly--not so much from Ron). At least one of the teams had no real business being on the show--the word is that they were actually recruited by the casting agents, rather going through the audition tape process like everyone else, and it is pretty much evident. A member of another team spends so much time groaning and complaining about inevitable defeat that you'll want to hit the mute button whenever he shows up on the screen.
This season spends rather more time in South America than in previous outings and, unusually, scarcely hits Europe at all, and then takes a literally surprising direction for the home stretch.
There's plenty of drama, and at least three photo finishes with desperate flat-out sprints to the mat, and one of these is among TAR's all-time great moments to watch. And thankfully, no one proves to be as wretched and vile as TAR5's Colin and Christie or TAR6's truly loathsome Jonathan and Victoria.
Plus there is llama herding, so you know that you're in for quality entertainment. Until TAR3 and TAR6 come out, this edition is not too shabby.
The teams this season fall into the normal parameters. There's a gay couple, several couples who are dating or married, a pair of brothers, an older couple, and a mother/son team. Frankly, it feels a bit like they have a template these days and are looking to fill certain pre set rolls. Still, this season had the standouts. Brothers Brian and Greg were nice guys everyone was rooting for. Ray and Deena were this season's fight from day one couple. Meredith and Gretchen, despite their age, proved to be tough competitors. While they often irritated me, I couldn't help but root for them. Kelly and Ron were the all American beauty queen/Iraq war vet couple. I started out liking them, but by the end they made me cringe. Uchenna and Joyce where such a nice couple, you couldn't help but root for them. And then there was Rob and Amber.
Whether it was supposed to be or not, this season of The Amazing Race became all about Rob and Amber, still riding high off Amber's win in Survivor All-Star. Unlike the last time TAR tried a reality show crossover, Rob and Amber proved to have real staying power, using their fame to find help along the way. And, of course, Rob was able to use his power of persuasion to get several teams to support his plan when it came to skipping the nasty food challenge. I hated Rob in both seasons of Survivor he was on, but I will admit I found myself rooting for them this go around. I think I found Rob's antics to be a breath of fresh air on the show.
Of course, the locations where excellent as well. The fact that they haven't repeated anything yet amazes me. Personally, I loved their trip through Botswana since my parents have been there twice. It gave me a chance to see the country in something other then still shots. Other highlights included Peru, Argentina, Istanbul, and London.
This season also featured some amazingly close finishes. Several times the team eliminated was only eliminated by a few minutes. The ending was a real nail bitter as well. Of course, this is partially editing, but even without that, we seemed to have lots of close calls this season.
The show is not as fresh as it used to be, with the casting falling into predictable patterns. But the show is still entertaining and slightly educational. This is the best reality program out there.
To the other reviewer, all I can say is, "You've got to be kidding!"
I consider myself a discerning television viewer, and I simply can't get enough of this great TV show! And this is a show that we will watch over and over again, regardless of our already now knowing who wins in the final episode of each season.
The winning only matters the FIRST time you watch each season; subsequent viewings reveal all the subtle nuances of the competitions, when someone should have zigged when they'd zagged, and what we ourselves would need to know and use should we ever find ourselves in similar situations - and remember, this show is really a study of group dynamics, whether it be a competition between travelers to foreign lands, or in the boardroom, in your community, or at home between family members.
Finally, it is a refreshing approach to a travelogue - even if you are not into reality TV or competitiveness, the shear beauty of the photography and the fascinating interactions with the locals alone could have you hooked on "The Amazing Race" series!
And with regard to this particular race series - The Seventh Season - this turned out to be one of our favorites of all seven seasons!
Amber and Rob are certainly the new Ozzie and Harriet - I hope to see even more of them on Reality TV in the future! Amber's integrity, patience, and optimism are refreshing in today's cynical world. And Rob's mugging and whispered asides to the camera on his game strategy are both revealing and hilarious!
And yes, Gretchen's constant grousing became like nails on a chalkboard, but she also showed that she was a real trooper, had phenomenal endurance and drive, and a genuine heart of gold. Watching Gretchen with the locals put a big smile on my face.
And shame on the other reviewer for giving away the ending - there are readers here who may be purchsing this to watch for the first time!
I will say that I think that the winners most certainly deserved it - they went through great personal sacrifice and they also noticeably "grew" throughout the season, both as individuals and as a couple. And they were in the right place at the right time to win - this particular series ending shows that, in a competition of this nature, indeed, anything can happen!
And one of the things that I like best about this particular Reality TV show is that it is a wonderful example of Chaos - not even what seems like the "perfect plan" is exempt from the chaos factor, and even the seemingly best game players can come in second or third because of a last minute fluke.
This show is an awful lot like life in general, with beautiful scenery and fascinating locales thrown in as a wonderful bonus.
I am purchasing this DVD, "The Amazing Race - The Seventh Season" right now, just as soon as I finish typing this; I have already purchased The First Season DVD of this series, and I am greatly looking forward to purchasing ALL seasons, hopefully, in the near future.
In fact, we are purchasing EXTRA copies of these two currently available seasons, to give as Christmas presents this year to friends and family who share our enthusiasm for this great TV show.
Hats off to all involved, and please keep the seasons coming on television - and thanks, too, for making these two series available for purchase on DVD - I only hope that you will decide to make ALL seasons available for those of us who plan to watch these episodes over and over again for years to come!
I can't say enough great things about this particular DVD, and I highly recommend it for purchase here on Amazon.
Regards, Mrs. Kostrzewa/Michigan

It's powerful enough to take macro shots at 125/F5.6 ISO 200 when on full power. This may not be enough for non macro shots or when faster speeds are needed to freeze action. It came with 8 adapter rings but not the 46mm one I needed for Oly's 60mm macro. A 52-46 ring was needed.
Hi Peter - I looked at your link, and like the price. However it has five contacts and is advertsied as being suitable for Canon, Nikon & Panasonic - which m43 cameras have you used it with?

My name is Jordan Erdos and I am a co-founder and board member of Rainforest Partnership. When we decided to start up a new, international environmental non-profit in 2007, we knew we wanted to do things differently from the very respectable groups that are already out there. In the short time we have been around, we have already made great progress on a project in Chipaota, Peru, and have received a tremendous amount of support via in-kind contributions and pro-bono work from similar-minded citizens. Please visit our web site at http://www.rainforestpartnership.org and check us out on Facebook. It is through participation, not just contributions, that we can really work together to raise awareness about the role forests play in regulating the global climate.

I want to learn PHP
by Henryj93 Posted: 01/09/2012
I want to learn PHP i have little knowledge of it, but I really want to learn.#programming #learn #php
Any one have any suggestions, books or websites to learn from?
Any one have any suggestions, books or websites to learn from?
- waqasikdW3Schools Online Web Tutorials
just go there and learn step by step PHP
- frenchsquaredI started with this book:
- Mohsin RasoolHi,
Have server installed at your pc so that you can do all coding
and testing on local pc.
I use and recommend WAMPSERVER for PCs.
Once you have installed WAMP on your pc. And
when it is running...
Now you three things:
1. Some online source like W3Schools
or my fav
PHP Tutorial - Introduction
2. See the code you like to try or adapt from #1
and go to your WAMP www directory:
mostly here:
create some folder say: code
in code folder: have test.php
and put the code from #1 in it and then
3. Open your browser and access this file:
and see how it looks (the output)
4. Now you ready to adapt, change and improve the code..
just open that file in Notepad++{ you should have notepad++ installed for awesome syntax highlighting}
and from learning sources like Tizag, w3school or better from php.net
just read the concepts, look at examples and try to write the code in
your local php file, and see the output in browse..make mistakes and
try to fix them...this is how i started learning and if i had to do it again,
i will love to start this way...
Good Luck!
- samstephan9w3schools.com is a best way of learning PHP.
- ricky pountingfor php w3school is the best option for learning.
- AirForceVetI want to learn some coding myself, JavaScript to be exact.
- jcwebholeWow! Im thinking of actually starting a thread here to offer free tutorials for PHP/MySQL and maybe even javascript and jquery... Where I will lead a study group sortof here i post occassional exercises you guys comply and post question.. Too bad I jusy cant commit yet... Hands up if you guys like my idea! It might drive me into actually doing it
- dwertYou may refer PHP Tutorial of w3resource.com. They have covered PHP in a very systematic way, keeping the content pretty easy to understand for beginners. The tutorial includes plenty of examples and you can practice those examples using their online practice editor.
Once you finish with them, you may refer ibm developer works which offers articles for intermediate to advanced PHP users.
- fellowgeekI thought myself php using w3schools.com, but it will help if you have a background in programming. I used to code in C & C++.
Also try downloading XAMPP so you can test your codes.
It also helps if you start using an IDE from the begining. For that download Exlipse IDE and install the PDE plugins.
A book will help too, I saw earlier in this thread people suggested many good books. just get the one with the most positive reviews.
good luck!
- denownswarmsIf you want to learn PHP than you go on Internet and Google than be search to get help or tutorials, you get help step by step tutorial regarding PHP guide, and first write hello world program, write coding for it, compile program and run it.
- blogfreakzW3Schools Online Web Tutorials or go to lynda.com for interactive video tuts...
- cyberdenizenI'm copying what I posted on my blog. I hope you will find this useful:
Things to do when you want to learn PHP:
1) DOWNLOAD AND INSTALL XAMPP - So what the heck is XAMPP? This a open source cross-platform web server package. You're going to need this because if you're going to study PHP and MySQL, you would need an Apache server, a MySQL database and a PHP interpreter. You need these to test your codes. XAMPP has everything you need. Don't worry because XAMPP is free. You can download XAMPP from here. Alternatively, you can download WAMP.
2) SURF THE INTERNET FOR WEBSITES THAT OFFER HELPFUL INFORMATION - There are a lot of web sites that offer tutorials in web development and design. Among the websites I've found very helpful are:
W3 Schools
Killer PHP (You can buy the videos that are being sold or watch the free sample videos. The sample videos are helpful.)
PHP Official Site
3) JOIN ONLINE FORUMS - You may need someone to help you understand some concepts or you may have questions that need to be answered. You'll be surprised that there are many people who are more than willing to help. Here are some online forums that you can join:
PHP Builder Forums
PHP Developer's Network
4) DOWNLOAD E-BOOKS OR BUY BOOKS ON PHP AND MYSQL - Books and e-books present information in a more organized and comprehensive manner. They would be good to have for reference and in-depth learning.
There are available free e-books all over the Internet. Just Google the terms "free e-books" and "PHP" together. However, from experience, I've found that some of those books are either outdated or not very good, and some files contain viruses and trojans (Be particularly wary of those in .exe and .chm format). They're free, but download at your own risk.
Good luck and have fun!
- Damien RocheDon't spend too long on it. Use it as an introduction into beginner web programming, then quickly move onto something more robust and thought out like Ruby, Python, or Java.
You will pick up a lot of bad habits if you're not careful about where you learn from. Get a good book from Amazon. An excellent book is:
PHP 5 Objects, Patterns, and Practice:...
I wouldn't even consider the risk involved in learning from the myriad of trash sites out there like w3schools (see: W3Fools instead).
- shantanuFollow this website if you want to clear ur basics and then purchase a book which leads you to professional PHP
PHP Tutorial

Almost everyone loves burgers, but what about burgers and wine? Chilled red wine at that! This is not a pairing you would ordinarily think of; however, the two make for a surprisingly winning combination. We recently attended a tasting of Georges Duboeuf Beaujolais series of reds from the eastern region of France: Beaujolais-Villages, Chiroubles, Brouilly, Fleurie, Morgon and Juliénas Chateuu des Capitans. The wines were paired with several different styles of burgers.
At the presentation, wine expert Mark Oldham extolled the virtues of this graceful and charming style of wine: Beaujolais is not a snobby wine; the bottles are very affordable; the taste is charming and approachable; and it makes for a great selection on a first date, as this style of wine is very easy drinking. He also noted it's perfect for the current season.
The Duboeuf Beaujolais are made with 100% Gamay grapes, a very old cultivar that shows tasting notes of red fruits, including currants, raspberries, cherries and strawberries. The wines exhibit a tender mouthfeel, deep flavor, and tend to have soft tannins, so they're very refreshing when served chilled. Oldham referred to them as something of a white wine masquerading as a red wine, considering how well they work with cheeses and other traditional white wine pairings.
The price points for these wines range from $10–$19. However price does not define the quality of a wine — think about some of the better Chilean or Argentinian wines available for less than $20. If you're looking for a $10, $15 or $20 bottle of wine that tastes more expensive that its cost, you'll be making a safe bet with a Beaujolais. Plus, you'll probably make white wine drinkers just as happy as those who always go for red.
Tasting the different styles of Beaujolais while sampling the burgers made for a very balanced meal — none of them overwhelmed any of the food, instead complementing the meaty flavors of the burgers rather well. We left a convert — next summer we'll definitely swap some chilled Beaujolais in for beer when we grill up burgers.
Here are the varietals we tasted:
Beaujolais-Villages: Serve chilled. Pair with hors d'oeuvres, sauteed chicken, pasta and vegetables, cheeses (12.5% ABV).
Chiroubles: Serve slightly cool at 57°F. Pair with assorted charcuterie, roasted chicken, pasta salad, cheeses (13% ABV).
Brouilly: Serve cool at 54°F. Pair with grilled or roasted chicken, roast duck, roasted red meats, fine cheeses (12.7% ABV).
Fleurie: Serve cool at 54°F. Pair with grilled sausages, chicken and lamb chops (13% ABV).
Morgon: Serve slightly cool at 57°F. Pair with rack of lamb, venison, roasted turkey (12.9% ABV).

If you have never seen the Zac Brown Band live before, you are missing out on an awesome performance!
Over the weekend, Justin Moore took to social media by singing a song that fans asked him to sing before taking the stage at a show.
Luke Bryan has a history of putting on a great show. Maybe it's because you never know what kind of surprises you can expect to see at one of his shows.
The Kate Hasting Band stopped by the studio before their performance at Denim and Diamonds this evening, and Travis had a little fun with them!
The ACM's will be here before we know it and now we have an idea of what we can expect as far as performances.
Sometimes, fans of artists can get a little crazy. Kip Moore was on Monday's "The Talk" and talked about how a fan recently chipped his tooth on stage.
Pick up lines have been around for quite some time now. The thing about them is that they only work if they are VERY clever.
Luke Bryan took to Facebook last night saying that rehearsals for his Kill the Lights tour are officially over.
Who are you most excited to see perform on the 58th Annual Grammy Awards this Monday night? Sam Hunt and Carrie Underwood? Chris Stapleton with Gary Clark Jr. and Bonnie Raitt in a tribute to B.B. King? Adele? The Eagles with Jackson Browne in a tribute to Glenn Frey? Or others? Check out the line up of performers here:

Reading Edward Said at Bible Study
The intellectual in exile is someone who completely removes him or herself from a society, culture, belief, or way of thinking in order to fully examine it. Said says that exile is the only complete way to get an understanding of how something runs.
As long as you are a part of the machine, in other words, you are blind to some of its constructive, and destructive, features.
The intellectual in exile does not need to remove him or herself from a popular city. You can be an intellectual in exile in any major cities around the country. What's required instead is to remove yourself from your typical thought process. Challenge things.
The intellectual in exile is happy being uncomfortable. This constant struggle encourages them to constantly develop, and not ever settle for what is easy or popular.
Yet it is still important to keep yourself in good community. Said also said, "No one is totally self-supporting, not even the greatest of free spirits."

I made this for the first time tonight it was awful the meatballs fell apart in the skillet. I was able to save some from crumbling, I removed the meat from skillet there was lots of crumbs on the bottom of the skillet. I use 1/4 cup white wine to loosen the crumbs and make it a Carmel color. Cooked the mushrooms and made the sauce, when I added what was left of my meatballs to the sauce. I folded in the sour cream, parsley and jam the rest of the meatballs fell apart making it look like cat food.
Swedish Meatballs
From EatingWell: March/April 2012
These Swedish meatballs are made with a combination of lean ground turkey breast and ground pork, flavored with nutmeg and cardamom and simmered in a creamy mushroom sauce. Serve over a brown rice pilaf spiked with almonds and currants or whole-wheat egg noodles.
11 Reviews for Swedish Meatballs
My husband loves meatballs, and I thought this sounded good. It was delicious and we both loved it. I liked the combination of turkey and pork. However, I have no idea how the picture represents the actual results. The sauce is actually a light tan when the recipe is made as written, not a heavy cream as pictured. Also, I agree with the other reviews - make more of a roux with the mushrooms (or add cornstarch). It needed to be a little thicker to work well with pasta. Next time I will add some thickener while cooking. I served with a spinach salad and it was delicious! This will be a go-to recipe.
There is a simple solution to this recipes problem sauce. Put the flour in with the mushrooms toward the end of their sauté. After the mushrooms are done, scrape up any browned flour from the skillet and mix in. Add the meatballs. Why Eating Well didn't write the recipe this way, I have no idea. Not browning the flour is a rookie mistake. This produces a more flavorful and better looking sauce.
I have made Swedish meatballs for years, but I actually used the old Mirro-Matic Pressure cooker recipe (same as my mother did in the 50's and 60's), and it was a clearer gravy, which I know isn't really Swedish!!! I liked this recipe a lot, and made it exactly as written, but thought the flour in the chicken broth tasted "raw". I am used to cooking flour a little in roux's to get rid of the raw flour taste. I wonder if it would be better thickened with a little cornstarch??? A couple of TBSP's of cornstarch can not be worse than all that flour can it? I also think the meat mixture needed a little more salt. Flavor was great, my guests liked it, I am just pickier!!! Great recipe though. I didn't have seedless raspberry jam as recommended, and used what I had with seeds, and it made no noticeable difference! Will probably make again with changes to the thickening agent!!! I served it with the brown rice pilaf and sugar snaps and peas with a lemon butter glaze. (not healthy, I know)!!! Just use lemon juice on the veggies, compliments the sweetness in the dish and rice.
This recipe was SO delicious and easy and healthy!! Even the kids loved it! (and they are crazy picky) I didn't change anything, except I doubled the meat balls for the same amount of sauce and it was perfect. The sauce was perfect, very tasty and just like a rich creamy sauce. I used 5% fat sour cream. Thanks so much! I'm recommending it on facebook! :)

Research Institution:
AbstractNassau Stern Company is investigating an approach for manufacturing oxide dispersion strengthened (ODS) aluminum in bulk rather than powder form. The approach combines novel ceramic injection molding technology to produce preforms for subsequent pressure infiltration casting with aluminum. The preforms contain between 30 and 40 volume percent sub-micron aluminum oxide and 60 to 70 volume percent nano-porosity. The resulting ODS aluminum could be near net-shape or as a billet ready for secondary processing. If successful, this approach will eliminate defects associated with consolidating powders into bulk form, such as contamination, adsorbed gas and non-uniform packing. Elimination of these defects will allow the ODS aluminum to perform closer to theoretical tensile strength, especially at elevated temperatures. ODS aluminum is also expected to possess exceptional elevated temperature fatigue behavior, vital for aerospace propulsion components and structures. The high level of aluminum oxide will also improve thermal expansion and stiffness behavior of the ODS aluminum. The envisioned elevated temperature performance of ODS aluminum will open up a wide range of space and aviation applications not feasible for conventional aluminum alloys.

Growing evidence shows that well-maintained and updated school facilities promote learning, as well as student and staff health, and help curb long-term school expenses.
Using a survey tool, biology students in 13 Maryland high schools help environmental scientists keep an eye on pollution and other factors that might harm Chesapeake Bay or its creatures, including Maryland's renowned blue crabs.
Miami-Dade County's BioTECH @ Richmond Heights—a conservation-biology-focused STEM high school that opened in 2014-15 with help from an $11 million federal grant—focuses on zoology, botany, genetics, ecology, chemistry and environmental sciences.
Students will likely choose healthier meals if provided with more comfortable places to eat. Modern lighting and food-court style designs can draw students to dining areas while school gardens can provide learning experiences and also supply cafeterias with fresh, less expensive produce.
The health risk posed by products with potential carcinogens that pushed Columbia Public Schools in Missouri to adopt simpler, more cost-effective—and ultimately greener—methods. Yet, most district leaders say removing all chemicals is nearly impossible.
Columbia Schools shifted from 33 chemicals to 10 green products to clean their district schools. Here's what they used to use, and what they've adopted today.
Lighting is often the overlooked energy hog in the room—accounting for 26 percent of the energy used in a typical school. Retrofitting lighting can reduce that by as much as 50 percent, and it's is often simpler and less expensive than upgrading HVAC systems, producing a quick return on investment.
Learning to grow vegetables and flowers. Digging in the dirt. Understanding how seasons affect plants. Such learning experiences for students come with a green school roof.
Promoting green school roofs is part of New York City's larger mission to combat air pollution, conserve energy and reduce the amount of stormwater flowing into sewers and waterways.
Green roofs also reduce the need for air conditioning, thus lessening the "urban heat island" effect—a phenomenon in which concentrated human activity and energy use make metropolitan areas hotter.
School gardens used for instruction are on the rise nationwide, and with them, student engagement and test scores, according to a recent study.
The nonprofit REAL School Gardens works with corporations to build outdoor classrooms at low-income schools. The gardens include 150 square feet of vegetable beds, perennial and herb beds, rainwater collection systems, composting bins, earth science stations, and animal habitats.
Sandy Grove Middle School, part of Hoke County Schools in North Carolina, is the first energy-positive school in the nation to be financed by its own expected energy savings.
The 74,000-square-foot school opened to students in fall 2013, and was designed as a net-zero facility that produces more energy than it consumes. It will also meet LEED Gold standards.
Districts recovering from the recession and in need of new buildings and renovations can save money over time by building net-zero energy schools, architects say.
New partnerships between districts and energy service companies provide much-needed funding for school sustainability upgrades that can range from installing efficient lighting to renovating entire buildings.
Energy savings performance contracts (ESPCs) allow school leaders and other public agencies to complete energy-savings projects without upfront capital costs.
New York City students may soon learn formal lessons on climate change as a proposed curriculum continues to win endorsements from leading environmental groups.
Two groups, the Alliance for Climate Education and Global Kids, have been encouraging the New York State Department of Education to add climate change to the city's K12 curriculum.
The effort, centered on Resolution 0375-2014 now before the New York City Council, was endorsed in February by The Natural Resources Defense Council.
One student generates about five pounds of waste in 180 days from simply drinking a carton of milk each day of the school year, according to the Carton Council, a national industry-sponsored recycling organization. Add in glue bottles, old test papers and leftover lunch, and it's no wonder schools are looking for ways to reduce both the amount of waste filling trash bins and the money spent to have it hauled away.
If compost can make it there, it can make it anywhere.
In an effort to reduce its garbage footprint, the New York City Department of Education has partnered with the Department of Sanitation to launch its Organic Waste Collection Program in the city's schools.
The effort was inspired by a 2012 self-funded pilot program organized by a handful of PTAs in Manhattan's Upper West Side, says John Shea, chief executive officer at the New York City Department of Education.

The present invention relates to an improvement in tripods for photographic cameras.
In conventional tripods for cameras, a base plate is provided to which the camera is attached and two or three metallic pipes or tubes each having a smaller diameter are telescopically arranged or disposed within one another to permit the height of the tripod to be adjusted. The fixing of the telescoping leg segments in a desired position is conventionally done with collars located on the end of each of the inner leg postions so that upon rotation of a collar in one direction, the interfitting tubular leg is squeezed and held in position. However, the rotary motion is time-consuming and renders difficult the accurate adjustment of the legs.
To overcome this disadvantage, a tripod having a leg clamping element such as a snap lever has been suggested but this arrangement requires another element for fixing the snap lever in position. As a result, the element increased the overall size of the leg grasping mechanism which rendered the tripod inconvenient to transport easily as the overall collapsed size of the tripod was undesirably increased.
To overcome the foregoing drawback in the conventional tripod, the present invention provides a tripod wherein the snap levers are located inside of U-shaped legs and are constructed so as to reduce the amount of force required to actuate the snap levers while decreasing the size of the collapsed length of the tripod. As a result, the overall compactness of the resulting tripod is improved.
The foregoing and other advantages will become apparent as consideration is given to the following detailed description taken in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, in which:
FIG. 1 is an elevational view of the tripod of the present invention;
FIGS. 2a and 2b are enlarged detailed views of a first and second embodiment of the present invention;

FIG. 5 is a sectional view taken along lines 5--5 in FIG. 2;
FIGS. 6 and 7 are sectional views taken along lines 6--6 in FIG. 2 but showing the snap lever in two operating positions;
FIG. 8 is a detailed view of the clamping element carrier member used in a smaller cross-sectional area leg portion;
FIG. 9 is a sectional view taken along lines 9--9 of FIG. 2b;
FIG. 10 is a sectional view taken along lines 10--10 in FIG. 2b;
FIG. 11 is a sectional view showing the clamping element in engagement for the embodiment of FIG. 2b;
FIG. 12 is an exploded view of the snap lever clamping arrangement for the outermost leg portion of the tripod; and
FIG. 13 is a front view with parts broken away showing the tripod of the present invention in a fully collapsed position.
Referring to FIG. 1, there is shown a camera tripod comprising a head 2, three legs 3 and an elevator member 4.
The legs 3 are identical in construction and are shown more clearly in the enlarged view of FIGS. 2a and b and the exploded view of FIG. 3. More specifically, each leg 3 comprises a first leg portion 5 which may be made from an aluminum alloy and has a generally U-shaped cross section. The second and third leg portions 6 and 7 are similarly shaped but have gradually reduced cross-sectional areas so as to telescopically interfit with each other and the first leg portion 5. Provided at the lower end of the first leg portion 5 are a pair of stop members 8 which are formed by protruding bent portions from the in turned flanges 5a and 6a on leg portions 5 and 6. At the upper ends of the second and third leg portions 6 and 7, there are provided openings 9 which are square in shape as best seen in FIG. 3 and which are cut in the base wall of the leg portions.
As a support for the snap lever, to be described below, there is provided a carrier frame 10 which may be made of a synthetic resin and which is generally cubic in shape but hollow. As shown in FIG. 3, the carrier frame 10 has engaging members 12 protruding outwardly therefrom in an L-shaped configuration at approximately the center of the side walls 11. The end walls 13 and 14 of the carrier frame 10 are flat and give rigidity to the frame member 10. The end wall 14 is recessed relative to the side walls 11. As shown in FIG. 4, carrier frame 10 has a square shaped opening 15 along its bottom surface and two notches 16 are provided in each of the side walls 11 which extend to approximately half of the height of the walls 11. Along the inside surfaces of the walls 11, there are provided shoulders, one of which is shown at 17 in FIG. 4.
When assembled, fitted within the opening 15 is a press member 18 which is generally rectangular in shape and which also may be made from a synthetic resin material or the like. The bottom of the press member 18 is slightly concave along one side and convex on the other to improve the frictional gripping action. On the interior of the side walls 19 of the press member 18 are provided two slots 20 which extend perpendicular to the base of the member 18. These slots are provided for receiving the ends of a pin which can be substituted for a support plate in another embodiment of the present invention. The long sides 21 of the press member 18 are arcuately cut to form recesses therein.
A seat plate 22 occupies the interior of the press member 18. The seat plate 22 may be made from steel and should be square in shape. The thickness of the seat plate 22 may be varied, as will be seen, to vary the amount of force required to effect the locking of the snap lever in place.
The snap lever 23 is utilized to effect a clamping and releasing between the first leg portion 5 and the second leg portion 6. The snap lever 23 may be made from a synthetic resin material or the like and is generally T-shaped. A bore 25 is drilled through the lower end of the base leg 24 through which a pin 26 is inserted, the ends of which fit in the notches 16 of the carrier frame 10. The lower end of the snap lever 23 in which the bore is formed is wedge shaped having a low gradient sloping surface and a steep surface, 24a and 24b, respectively. With this arrangement, the distance from the center of the pin 26 to the surfaces 24a and b are different from each other, but the distance from the bore to the surface 24a should be greater than the distance from the bore to the surface 24b. Also, preferably, the ridge line where surfaces 24a and b intersect should lie on the end of leg 24 over the line which bisects leg 24 along its length. Thus, surface 24b will be longer in length and surface area than surface 24a.
In assembling the tripod as thus far described, the second leg portion 6 is inserted into the first leg portion 5 and the opening 9 of the second leg 6 is positioned at an upper end of the first leg 5, that is exposed or beyond the upper end of leg portion 5. At this stage, a carrier frame 10 is inserted into the second leg portion 6 and its opening 15 is engaged with the opening 9 of the second leg portion 6. A press member 18 is then inserted into the opening 9 and up through the opening 15 of the carrier frame 10. This insertion is carried out until the press member 18 abuts against the shoulders 17 in the carrier frame 10. Then, the second leg is withdrawn into the first leg until the portions 12 rest on the in turned flanges 5A of the first leg portion 5 and the upper edges of the side walls 11 of carrier frame 10 abut with the underside of the flange portions 6A of the second leg portion 6. With this arrangement as shown in FIG. 6, when the leg portions 5 and 6 are relatively telescoped, the turned in flanges 6A will ride in engagement with the in turned flanges 5A. Next, the press member 18 is positioned within the side walls of the first leg portion 5. Then, the snap lever 23 should be rotated so as to exert the least force on the press member 18, as discussed below.
As thus far described, the carrier frame 10 is held at the position of the opening 9 of the second leg portion 6 until the assembly procedures described above are followed in reverse order. Also, it should be noted that the protruding members 12 of the carrier frame 10 will engage the stop members 8 to limit the extension of the second leg portion 6 out of the interior of the first leg portion 5.
It will be understood that while the above description relates to the assembly of the snap lever means between the first and second leg portions 5 and 6, the same procedures are employed for the assembly of the second and third leg portions 6 and 7.
With the devices thus far described, when the snap lever 23 is rotated in a counterclockwise direction, as viewed in FIG. 6, about pin 26, the surface 24A of the leg 24 will press the press member 18 acting through the seat plate 22, as shown in FIG. 6, to thereby strongly engage the member 18 with the inner surface of the base portion of the first leg portion 5 to effect locking engagement therewith. When the snap lever 23 is rotated in a clockwise direction as viewed in FIG. 7, to a point where it engages the reduced height side wall 14 of the carrier frame 10, the low gradient surface 24B of the leg 24 will contact the seat plate 22 to thereby release the press member 18 and unlock the two leg portions. The second leg portion 6 will then be freely slidable with respect to the first leg portion 5 and can be fixed in any position along the length of the first leg portion 5 inside of the stop members 8.
The elevator comprises a cylindrical metal tube 4 which has along its side a rack gear 27 mated with a pinion gear (not shown) contained within the end 2. Rotation of a handle 28 will cause the elevator 4 to ascend and descend freely to adjust the position of the camera with respect to the top of the tripod where a camera can be fixed on a thread axis 29.
In order to reduce the manufacturing cost of a tripod of the present invention, the leg portions 5, 6 and 7 may be formed from drawn aluminum on a bench machine and the elements of the snap lever may be made from a synthetic resin without requiring precision in production. Where inaccuracies exist in the manufacture of the elements, in assembling the tripod, compensation is inexpensively provided by inserting a plurality of seat plates 22 of differing thickness so as to assure firm locking action.
Also, it should be noted that, when assembled, the snap lever mechanisms are located on the interior of the tripod structure so that possibility of accidentally unlocking the snap levers is minimized.
While the snap lever mechanism as discussed above with respect to leg portions 5 and 6 may also be employed between legs 6 and 7, such an arrangement has a disadvantage that the leg portions 6 and 7 cannot be completely telescoped within the large cross-sectional area leg portions 5. Another embodiment of the present invention overcomes this difficulty, as described below.
Referring to FIGS. 8 through 12, a carrier frame 29 is of reduced size to permit it to be inserted within the leg portion 7. The frame 29 has left and right sides 30 and end walls 31 and 32 with the end wall 32 being of reduced height relative to the height of end wall 30. On the side walls 30, at approximately the mid-point thereof, there are provided notches 34 which extend from the bottom of the frame 29 to about half the height of the side walls 30. As in the previous frame 10, shoulders 35 are formed on the inside of the side walls 30 as shown more clearly in FIG. 8 at 35. However, adjacent the notches 34, raised, arcuate portions 36 are provided. The upper ends of the side walls 21 of the press member 18 engage the shoulders 35 and the raised arcuate portions 36.
On the lower end remote from the opening 9 on leg portion 6, the inwardly bent flanges 6A are provided with notches 37 which are square in form and opposite one another. In the upper end of leg portion 7, an opening 7A is provided in the base thereof similar to the opening 9 in the upper end of leg portion 6 through which press member 18 is inserted.
A stopper 38 is provided which is H-shaped in cross section as shown in FIG. 10. Two tongues 39 extend outwardly from the center of the stopper 38 to interfit with the notches 37 in the flanges 6A. Spaced from the tongues 39 are a similarly shaped pair of tongues 40 with a groove between the tongues 39 and 40 of a width to interfit with the in turned flanges 7B of leg portion 7. At the lower extremity of leg portion 7, a slide block 42 is secured which serves as a foot of the tripod leg.
To assemble leg portions 6 and 7, the third leg portion 7 is telescoped within the second leg portion 6 so that the opening 7A protrudes from the upper end of the leg portion 6 remote from the notches 37. The carrier frame 29 is inserted into the leg portion 7 with the snap lever 23 attached. With the opening 33 of the carrier frame 29 abutted within the 7A, the press member 18 is inserted with its seat plate 22. Then, leg portion 7 is pulled down through leg portion 6, telescopically. Before the leg portion 7 is pulled past the notches 37, in leg portion 6, the stopper 38 is inserted and then the in turn flanges 7B of leg portion 7 are engaged in slots 41 of the stopper 38. The tongues 39 will, of course, remain flush with the surfaces 6A of leg portion 6 to ensure the smooth telescoping movement between these elements and the full retraction of leg portion 6 within leg portion 5 and leg portion 7 within leg portion 6 up to the foot member 42.
From the foregoing description, it will be apparent that the tripod of the present invention will permit rapid and easy setting up and collapsing of the tripod to as compact a condition as possible. Further, by locating the snap levers on the interior of the legs of the tripod, accidental disengagement of the snap levers is rendered less likely. Further, as shown in FIG. 13, with the legs 3 collapsed, accidental elongation of the separate leg portions is prevented since the snap levers will be maintained in their locked positions by engagement with the tube 4 of the elevator.
Having described the invention, it will be apparent that various modifications may be made therein without departing from the spirit and scope of this invention as defined in the appended claims.

see what they say about us!
In our minds Alno and Kitchenology, comprising of Jennifer's design and Tim's work force, is a perfect partnership ! The product itself is a joy to use as all drawers and cupboards operate smoothly and quietly. Our whole experience has been completely stress free, actually there was stress in the beginning but only due to the extensive choice of colour and finish. Jennifer was hugely helpful in that area and her advice on practicality and suitability to our life style invaluable. Our choice was Siemens equipment, sleek design and usage now living up to expectation. The cookery demo at Kitchenology's showroom certainly enhanced our understanding of the products. In summary……….we recommend Kitchenology without reservation.Westleton : 2015
Hi Jen,
I thought I should get in touch to say how pleased we are with the kitchen, we can now really enjoy it as the rest of the house is finished as well. All just in time for Christmas. I have attached a couple of photos for you.
Thanks again,
Iain and Karen
I thought choosing a kitchen for our self-build project would be easy but starting with a blank canvas was much harder than I anticipated. We had visited several kitchen suppliers before going to Kitchenology, all of whom took my thoughts and came up with pretty much the same design. Jen was the only person who actually challenged what I said I wanted (with good reason!) and came up with the design which was eventually installed. The whole process from ordering to installation was easy and professionally done by the Kitchenology team. We love our kitchen and the design couldn't work better for us.Newmarket 2015
We looked closely at 3 other local kitchen companies over several months before deciding on Kitchenology. We chose them based on various parameters; mainly design, quality and cost. We also chose them because they seemed helpful, pleasant and genuine. We haven't been disappointed and are happy to speak of our good experience and recommend them based on that.Stanton 2013
From the design through to the installation and everything in between we thank Kitchenology for their superb input to our lovely new kitchen. We are so glad that Kitchenology proved to be the right choice.Stowlangtoft : 2015
The new kitchen has exceeded our expectations, we are thrilled to bits with it. It looks beautiful.
We're really, really pleased with such a professional service. There's nothing to complain about … we love all of it!Thetford 2015
The final result is a beautiful kitchen which really 'works' for us. Cooking is now more of a pleasure than a chore and the room is easier to keep clean and tidy. It is no longer a room 'just' for preparing meals – it is much more of a social space and a good place to sit with a cup of tea and newspaper overlooking the garden. It is a world away from the kitchen that was there before.
Oh… and the price really was all inclusive!Drinkstone : 2014
Our kitchen works so well, very much a cook's kitchen and probably the best and most efficient we have had. A real pleasure to use, all down to your design skill and infinite patience.Attleborough : 2014
The finished product is amazing.
We are thrilled with our new living space which is very much the heart of our home. With Jennifer's assistance we have created a wonderful environment where we gather with family and friends.Woodditton, Nr Newmarket 2012

Deep Thoughts: The Expo Through The Eyes Of A Long Time Attendee
MACWORLD Expo - Deep Thoughts: The Expo Through The Eyes Of A Long Time Attendee
by , 11:00 AM EDT, July 21st, 2000
Having missed MACWORLD SF 2000, the last Expo I attended was in New York last year. Upon walking into the Javits this time around, I immediately felt the Expo was huge. It takes up both sides of one floor of the Javits Center as it did last year, but this year it's full. Really full. Last year there was a LOT of open space in the North wing (which included the now-missing gaming area), and this time around it's packed. And that's fantastic. Really fantastic.
The vibe on the floor is positive. Everyone's excited about all the new offerings. Of course the new stuff from Apple is on everyone's minds, but it's more than that. 3dfx is finally making an official offering to the Mac Market with their Voodoo 4500 and 5500 cards, Microsoft is demonstrating Office:2001, and PowerOn has been running presentations of it's upcoming Rewind package. The attendees are positive towards the new vendors, and happy to see the old ones return. There are more and more "independent" websites that have their own booths, and that makes us especially thrilled. It shows that we're in a growing market.
And grow the Mac market will. With iMacs available at US$799, I think we're going to see the Mac market change. It puts the iMac into the hands of those people who would otherwise be forced into buying a cheap Gateway or Compaq machine, and that's a good thing. While I certainly don't expect or predict the Mac market will ever be a major threat to the Windows world, I do imagine that the Mac market will take on some of the traits of the Windows world, many of which will be unappealing to the current Mac diehards. I think we'll begin to see folks who are Mac users only because that was the computer they could afford, not because they WANTED it. Keep in mind, folks -- most people don't buy a Windows machine because they LOVE it, they buy it because they need to do something that requires it. With iMacs that inexpensive, we're going to get the people that just want to use a computer and don't give a hoot about the operating system or any such thing. They will just use it as an appliance, and that's that. Is this a good thing? I don't know, but it's certainly worth a second thought. We may find that the very growth we demanded for our beloved community will change it in such a way that it's not quite as intimate. Only time will tell.
One thing's for sure, though -- we'll see the dynamics change. It's obvious that the Mac market is becoming a viable platform for many previously PC-only companies, and they're excited to dive in. The show floor is full of that excitement, and it will certainly carry forward after the end of the Expo.
Hold on to your hats, folks... after an Expo this big, the ensuing ride's gonna be a thriller!
