mMaw EOQMMM 3,226,873 MOTOR DRIVEN TOY BUG Marvin I. Glass and Burton C. Meyer, Chicago, and Norman T. McFarland, Mayview, Ill., assignors to Marvin Glass & Associates, Chicago, Ill., a partnership Filed Feb. 24, 1964, Ser. No. 346,844 4 Claims. (Cl. 46150).
The present invention relates to animated toys, and particularly to those designed to simulate insects, and an object is to provide such a toy which has amusing characteristics not heretofore known.
Such toys in the past have tended to either employ an excessive number of parts so as to be of doubtful reliability and durability, or to be over-simplified, so as to United States Patent be unlifelike and uninteresting. Furthermore, there has often been present a winding key or handle, which is either promptly lost or which if not removable tends to destroy the illusion that the toy is a real live creature. There has also been a lack of variety in the motions of the toy. Accordingly, the principal object of the invention is to furnish an animated toy, simulating a large insect, which will have a comical walking movement; in which there is no projecting winding key or other incongruous control, visible when the toy is in motion; which is composed of a minimum number of relatively rugged parts, and which, if struck, will change its rate of movement, and appear to attempt to run away.
The manner in which this object is accomplished is fully described in the following specification and illustrated in the accompanying drawings in which:
FIGURE 1 is a perspective view of the toy;
FIGURE 2 is an enlarged plan view of the toy with parts removed and others in section;
FIGURE 3 is an enlarged left side elevation with the casing broken away to expose the interior mechanism;
FIGURE 4 is an enlarged vertical sectional View on the line 4-4 of FIGURE 2 with parts broken away; FIGURE 5 is an enlarged sectional view on the line 5-5 of FIGURE 2; and
FIGURE 6 is a View of elements of the drive mechanisrn. t
Similar reference characters have been applied to the same parts throughout the drawings and specification.
The toy selected to embody the present invention is in the form of a caricature of a bug or insect and comprises basically a hollow body portion 10, as seen in FIGURE 1, having a head 12 providing a nose 14 and eyes 16; and antennae 18 may be included, all calculated to give the toy a rather grotesque and yet comical appearance. A tall 26 is substantially rigid with body portion 10, and normally rests on the floor or supporting surface. At either side of body 10 is a propelling leg unit 22 which comprises a hub 24 supported for rotation relatively to body portion 10, and having rigidly fixed therewith a plurality of legs 26 which project away from body 10 and in relation to the axis of hub 24 in the positions of the elements of a cone. The outward or oblique angle of legs 26 relative to the axis of hub 24 is such that at least one leg 26 on each side always projects in an outward direction but sutficiently downwardly to be in supporting relation to the floor or supporting surface to support the body 10. When the leg units 22 are slowly rotated, the toy will partake of a peculiar wobbling kind of walking movement, not unlike that of a June-bug, or similar large insect. The torque imparted to body It) by any mechanism for rotating leg units 22 is resisted, and body It) is prevented from overturning, by contact of tail with the floor or supporting surface over which it slides when the bug is in motion.
3,226,878 Patented Jan. 4, 1966 It is contemplated that legs 26 may be flexible or springy if desired to give more character to the move ment.
As hereinbefore stated, the bug is driven by a spring motor concealed in body 10, and one of the advantages of the construction is the fact that the spring motor is wound by the simple reverse rotation of the leg units. It is, therefore, unnecessary to have any type of winding key or control in evidence on the outside of body 10.
Body 10 consists of a thin outer shell 32 (FIGURES 2 and 3) which may be made most conveniently of one of the easily moldable plastics of which many are wellknown. Shell 32 has a rib or bulkhead 34, which engages a neck portion 36 of head 12, thereby helping to secure the head to the body. In similar manner a rib or bulkhead 38 cooperates to secure tail 20. Other ribs or bulkheads 40 and 42 fit and cooperate with a frame 44 of a spring motor generally designated as 46. Motor 46 drives a one piece shaft or axle 48 which extends outwardly from opposite sides of the frame 44 into fixed engagement with the hubs 24 carrying the two sets of legs 26.
Within motor frame 44 a spiral spring 58 has an end .60 anchored on frame 44, its other or inner end being anchored on a spring arbor 62 in any suitable or wellknown manner. Arbor 62 is journalled in bearings 64 and 66 mounted in frame 44, and has fixed therewith a first gear 68, which meshes with a second gear 70 fixed on axle shaft 48. Axle shaft 48 and spring arbor 62 are, therefore, connected together in such manner that rotation of one must rotate the other.
Gear '76 includes a projecting circular hub portion 72 mounting a freely rotatable gear '74 (see also FIG- URE 6) having circularly arranged openings '75 through its face for coaction with a spring ratchet element 76 which is keyed or otherwise fixed to snaft 48 in facing engagement with gear 74. Ratchet element 76 includes a pair of angularly bent ears 77 disposed in the path of openings 75 and bent so that rotation of element 76 in one direction (clockwise in FIGURE 4) permits the ears 77 to slide over the face of gear 74, whereas counterclockwise rotation of element 76 results in the ears '7"! entering a pair of the openings 75 to provide a positive driving relation between ratchet 76 and gear 74. Consequently, rotation of legs 22 in a clockwise direction will serve to wind spring 58 without disturbing gear 74, whereas release of the tensioned spring 58 will drive shaft 48, through gears 68 and 70, in a counterclockwise direction and thereby establish a positive driving relation between ratchet element 76 and gear 74.
The mechanism so far described would tend to actuate leg units 22 too fast for a natural crawling appearance, so a governing device is provided as follows.
Third gear 74 meshes with and drives a first pinion 73 which is fixed in relation to a fourth gear etl supported for rotation on a shaft 32 carried in frame 44. Gear 8t meshes with and drives a second pinion 84 fixed in relation to a fifth gear 86 fixed on a shaft 83 carried in frame 44 for rotation.
Fifth gear 86 meshes with and drives a third pinion @2 fixed in relation to a gear $4 on a shaft 96 rotatably carried in frame 44. Gear 94 in turn mesh-es with a fourth pinion 97 rotatably carried on shaft 88. A detent or pawl 8 (FIGURE 3), providing a stop level for the drive mechanism, is pivotally supported on a rivet or the like 16%) on frame 44 and includes an ear portion 1% engageable with the teeth 164 of sixth gear 94 by swinging of detent 98. Detent 98 has an arm or lever 1% which projects preferably through the undersurface of body 10 so as not to be noticeable during the movement of the bug. It will now be apparent that the speed reduction 12.9 gears will be locked whenever detent d8 is engaged with gear 94.
In order to provide further speed control means, pinion 97 has integrally formed therewith a governor cam 94) which is generally triangular in configuration, as best seen in FIGURE-S 3 and 5, and a yoke 183 is pivotally supported in position for engagement with the cam by means of a pin or the like 1149 on a carrying lever 112 which is fulcrumed on a tongue 114 turned out from the side of frame 44. Yoke 168 provides a notch or interior space 116 which loosely fits about governor cam 98 so that rotation of the cam will swing yo-ke 1G8 rapidly back and forth about pin 110. The rapid motion introduces a substan tial degree of friction between the cam and yoke and, of course, controls the speed of rotation of pinion 97 and the gear train associated therewith, so that the speed of drive shaft 48 and the legs 22 fixed thereto is kept approximately within a predetermined range. However, it is intended that the governor shall be disabled from time to time, which action will now be described.
Carrying lever 112 may be swung upwardly about fulcrum 114 as shown in dotted lines in FIGURE to a position wherein yoke 1% is removed from cam 99, in which case cam S t) and pinion 97 will be released for freer rotation and the motor will speed up to a much faster rate than with the governor in operation. This is to give the bug the capability of running away when struck by the hand or any suitable object. When lever 112 is raised so yoke 168 is out of engagement with cam 9%, the yoke is prevented from swinging too far out of line by tongues 118 bent in from the upper edge of lever 112 to engage the upper edge of the yoke if it swings excessively, but to allow complete freedom to follow cam 90 at other times. Lever 1.12 has a tongue 120 extending outside of frame 44- through a notch 122 to slidingly engage the edge of the notch to guide lever 112 against sideward displacement. It is to be noted that the rapid movement of yoke 108 will make a distinct rattling noise which will add to the grotesque eifect of the toy.
Carrying lever 112 has an arm 124 extending from fulcrum 114 in the opposite direction from yoke 103, arm 124 being resilient and having a detent button, dimple or the like 125 pressed by the resiliency of arm 124 into following engagement with a cam groove 126 formed in first gear 68, which in the present instance is concentric with spring arbor 62. Lever 112 is thus held stationary so long as detent 125 is in engagement with groove 126. However, in view of the resiliency of arm 12-4, detent 125 is rather easily dislodged from cam groove 126. A strut or upright 128 extends generally upwardly from arm 124 through a suitable opening in the top of body portion and is guidedly held in position by a tube or sleeve 127 fixed to and extending upwardly from the body. The upper end of upright 12S engages a simulated wing 132 which it maintains in a raised position above body 1%. Wing 132 has a combined sliding and pivotal connection 134 with body 10 so that the wing may pivot downwardly if sulficient force is exerted thereon to dislodge detent 125 from groove 126. Wing 132 constitutes a control or an impact receiving element. Thus, if someone swats the bug and hits wing 132, arm 128 is depressed and governor yoke 168 will be removed from cam 96 and the governor will be disabled. Thus the bug will speed up and appear to run away from its tormenter.
The shifting of lever 112 will be limited by contact of arm 124 with spring arbor 62, and detent 125 will come to rest in a position to be engaged with a snail-cam groove 136 which starts near arbor 62 and winds outwardly until it intersects hereinbefore mentioned cam groove 126. After detent 125 is dislodged as above described, some portion of groove 136 will engage it quite promptly, particularly in view of the increased speed of the parts, and detent 125 will be gradually shifted back into cam groove 126, restoring yoke 1 38 to engagement with cam 9t), and restoring the action of the governor. The bug will then go back to its slow pace until such time as it is again struck.
The operation of the device is thought to be clear from the above, sufficient to say the spring is wound by the simple expedient of turning one of the leg units backward while the stop control is engaged. If the bug is struck so as to contact the upstanding wing, it will run away temporarily. The leg-wheels are eiiective to give the bug a comical waddling motion, and a convenient start and stop control has been provided on the underside of the body where it does not detract from the desired appearance.
While this invention has been described with reference to certain features, structure and material in a particular environment, it will be apparent that various modifications might be made without departing from the principles of this invention.

Region 3 may be the home of state champions, but up north, Region 1 football teams play a pretty intense brand of football, too. And it's balanced. It's no wonder Region 1 teams have finished second in the state in five of the last six seasons.
"I'm really stressing to our guys about getting ready to play at a high level. I feel so strongly about the competitive balance in Region 1 and being ready for those region battles here in a month or so"

Historical Traveler Reviews Room Mate Laura Madrid
Nice staff and location, but no services, no bar, charges 16% taxes etc
i stayed 2 nights at room mate laura, 3 stars may a bit hard but there are some negative points that made me put this note. starting with the positives, the location is nice, less than 5 min walking from opera metro, really close to gran via and by foot about 20 min from del prado museum. the staff was very nice, i was quite charged when i arrived and one guy from the reception did help me. here come the negatives: ok so you have to know
before you book to room mate that the services are quite poor. There is no one to take your luggages (the guy from the reception did help me but when i asked if someone would bring my luggages to the room the other guy told me there was no one to do such a thing). second, no room service at all, which for the 130 euros i paid i think was not very good; third no bar!! and this was the worst for me, i mean sometimes you come from a tiring day you dont want to spend even another 10 min to look for a bar somewhere near your hotel, and since i was alone i would have appreciated a bar where i could relax and not feel out of place cause i was alone. so there is also no restaurant except for the breakfast, which was ok (orange juice was not freshly squeezed but bottle one, but you have choice, breads, croissants, ham, cheese, omelet, cereals, fruits and drinks). so for these reasons i will not return to mate laura, as for 130 euros (well more read the end and careful about the price) i at least wait for a bar, i dont care about room service but a bar i do. i mean for 110 euros i could have gone to the sofitel, and i was hesitating between
mate laura and quo puerto del sol, it was the same price but i should have gone there, at least they have a bar and restaurant if i dont want to go out. also, to speak about the room, i was disapointed in some points, i took the duplex which was quite big of course, but i didnt like the room all in lenght, i was alone but if you are staying with someone (better be a bf or gf as there is only one large bed) then the second person cannot go to the
bed so easily, he has to go through the curtains because they litterally touch the bed on one side.
then the bathroom was absolutely small and cold. also i was supposed to get a living room upstairs for my room what they call a living room is some kind of bed-couch with no table, just a tv and some toilets and a sink. also i didnt see the kitchen the other were speaking about, i think i got the worst duplex they have, i did put some pics for you to see. it was not too bad but for the price i wish i had a bath, not a shower, a real living room,
the famous kitchen.
another thing, my room was giving towards a place, and at 3am i got awake by some people playing music and singing or i dont know what, so the windows do keep some noise but not that much.
another negative point (and this one is really) is that they did NOT clean my room during the whole day, i told the guy at the reception, and he told me it was because they did not find the keys of the room cause i took them with me!!
but they didnt tell me i shouldnt take them, so because i didnt want to leave the room i finally stayed in an uncleaned one (and i was told when i told about this that they just found back the second set of keys right at this moment lol!) i will not go back to mate laura as i will not advise people to go there, as i know lots are waiting for at least a clean room and a little more services, apart from that the staff was nice as the decoration
of the room.
oh and also by the way CAREFUL, i thought i would pay 130 euros/night, it ended being 150 when i asked why the woman at the reception told me its because they had 16% taxes, i asked why when other hotels have only 7%, she told its because they are apartments and have a kitchen, so i paid for those who are using it as an apartment, and if i knew i would pay this price i would surely have gone somewhere else, be careful of that.
Great Hotel, Great Location, Disappointing Room
Took my partner to Madrid from 3rd to 5th December as a birthday treat. Chose to stay in this hotel following reading other reviews. The hotel is great, very modern, kind of funky decor. I decided to book an Atico (top floor room) since one of the reviews mentioned great views. I don't know if all the top floor rooms are the same but a view across the roof tops wasn't great! The room itself was spacious, good sized shower room, nice to have an apple left by the bedside each day.
The hotel has an open atrium from ground floor to roof level, totally mirrored on one wall. The walkway from the lift to the rooms has clear glass balustrades. I suffer from vertigo! It meant that I had to cling to the wall when making my way to the room.
The reception staff were fantastic, very helpful, friendly and spoke excellent English. The location is great, just a five minute walk to Plaza Mayor, ten minutes to the Palace, a few minutes to all the shops.
Breakfast is fine - not a huge choice but what there is is of good quality.
We took the opportunity of looking at the other rooms in the hotel. I would stay there again. I would definitely recommend the duplex rooms in preference to the Aticos both in terms of space, views and location within the hotel.
One pretty major drawback is a lack of parking, though the Room Mate Laura does have an arrangement with another hotel just a couple of minutes away where there are parking places but, of course, that's only if the other hotel has places available (it did at the time we stayed). A car in Madrid is not necessary though. In future I would go to Madrid by train.
To sum up, a great hotel, friendly staff, excellent location, well recommended. My disappointment in the room was based more on my vertigo than anything else.
Great Hotel - Loud at Night
The Rooms had plenty of space - very european and modern
The hotel is tucked away on a VERY VERY narrow and small street - Close to the Callao and SOL Metro Stations - Near the Plaza de Sol, Plaza de Callao and Plaza Mayor .
One Negative - There is a LOUD after hours club - which stays open till 3:30 AM directly outside the hotel - be warned
A great find
What a pleasant surprise! A very funky, contemporary and friendly hotel - very close to Plaza Mayor. We went on a girls' weekend to Madrid, and were lucky enough to be upgraded to a Deluxe Penthouse upon arrival. It was so nice to have a livingroom and a kitchen to use (even though the kitchen wasn't stocked with any dishes/pans etc). The design of the entire hotel is impressive. The breakfasts were simple but great - the Spanish tortilla was my favourite. The value for money on this hotel was excellent... they are a new hotel, so they might just be doing introductory pricing at the moment, since the hotels in the same area for a comparable price are nowhere near as nice (we checked out some of the places we almost booked when we got there). Stay here - you won't be disappointed!
Great Hotel, Great Location.
We stayed at the Laura for four nights, in the beginning of October. It is a very nice place, the decoration is great, the room was huge for European standards (the bathroom, tho, was small and uncomfortable, but hey, you can't get everything, right?). They also had a nice breakfast (tho we got tired of it after the third day, because they never change the limited options), the staff was helpfull and the location was great - very close to the subway, to a huge "El Corte Ingl�s", to Gran Via, etc. We did most of our sight-seeing on foot (tho it is quite a walk to Museo del Prado).
There were two downsides, tho: (i) we asked the front-desk to wake us up on the day we were leaving, and to call a cab to take us to the train station. They did not wake us up, so we almost missed our train to Granada; and told the cab that we were going to the airport, so the guy was really pissed-off at having to wake up early on Sunday for such a short ride! and (ii) unlike Mario (their other hotel), at Laura they did not have internet access (only wi-fi, but who brings a notebook during vacations?). Other than that, our stay was perfect.
However, if we are ever back to Madrid we will stay on the Mario (also a "Roommate Hotel"), because our stay there was better.
Great value for money
Visited the Room mate laura for 4 nights in a Duplex deluxe suite rm 210 for 130 euros a night +tax for two people + continental breakfast. It was really very good value compared to other madrid hotels.
We also stayed at the Gran Hotel Caniaras which were very professional and more upmarket but all the extra things like wi-fi and their (great) breakfast cost alot more. All of these things were included in the rate at Laura plus the use of their basement laundry for 4 euros - washer and dryer, very handy for long term travelling.
The staff were very friendly, spoke good English and were helpful except one woman I spoke to couldn't tell me which bus to catch to a well known shopping st, and couldn't or wouldn't help me find one.
Location was very good, easy walking especially to the Real Palace (beautiful) and some great restaurants the Bangkok thai on c/Bordadores 15 if you get tired of tapas.
The suite was massive, two storey with floor to ceiling windows. However, the beds were very hard for us and weren't conducive to good sleep. Bathroom was quite small downstairs, with the shower almost being on top of the toilet. Also the lovely plasma tv at the second level didn't work at all and was never fixed during our stay. Our suite faced the square and it was really really loud. I know its Madrid but even for thirty somethings like us, it was too loud at 3am. I thought perhaps they could have invested in thicker glazing, knowing the location and culture.
Continental breakfast was okay as it was free, but for more substantial fare eating out at a local cafe might be better idea.
In short, excellent value for money for such a huge room, but service was very limited.
Wonderful hotel & staff
My husband and I stayed at Hotel Room Mate Laura for 5 days at the beginning of a wedding anniversary trip. We are in our late 60s. We were given an upgrade to a deluxe room with upstairs loft. Each level had its own bath (with soaps, shampoo, lotion, shoe shine bar, etc.), plasma tv, and phone. The lower larger level had an eating area with table, chairs, and mini-fridge. You can also get this room with a kitchen.
There is lots of storage and closet space and the ceilings were over 16 feet tall (due to the loft design). The towels are thick and high quality, as are the sheets. There were two sets of french doors with tiny balcony rails - and there was LOTS to see.
This leads to the good & bad of our room. It overlooks a small square and it was fun to view the people in daily life. However, if you know anything about Madrid, you know that they do not even consider going to dinner until after 10PM.
They are very gay and you hear much of their noise until things slow down around 3AM. This is even on weeknights. The windows did dampen most of the noise, but not all. We actually spent much of every night just watching the car drivers trying to fit into tiny parking spots.
This activity did not bother us - we found it charming. But some might want to ask for a quieter room location.
The beds were great to us, but if you like them soft, go elsewhere.
Breakfast is served from 7:15 - noon (many are eating dinner until midnight, so this makes perfect sense), and it is excellent! Ham, cheese, egg/potato omlet, breads, pastries, fruit, cereals, juices, great coffee machine with multiple selections.
Staff was very helpful - way beyond what we have found in more expensive hotels. Price with tax was €100 per night. Considering the wonderful location, great breakfast, room size, and quality of furnishings - this was a deal. We also loved the very modern art filled d�cor.
We took an Aero-city shuttle from the airport directly to the hotel front door: €19 for one or two persons, two large bags and two carryon bags. After a long flight, this too was a deal.
Loved it!
In an ideal central location, friendly staff that are happy to help with any queries you may have. Clean, tidy and unusual rooms with facilities definitely exceeding our expectations, pleasant breakfast - would definitely recommend the hotel to anyone staying in Madrid.
Great location, pleasantly different
We have just returned from a 4 night city break in Madrid. Room Mate Laura lived up to and surpassed all our expectations. Whilst in a central and convenient positon, close to several metro stations, Plaza Mayor Tourist Office, a number of cultural attractions, restaurants and shops (within sight of the large El Conte Ingles department store and supermarket), its location is also quiet at night. All staff were helpful and welcoming and our room was very clean, well-equipped and stylishly decorated. It felt very secure and a room safe was useful. Full length windows opened to give a light and airy room.
Breakfast was included and comprised a very good cold buffet (cereal, juice, fresh fruit, ham, cheese, croissants, pastries etc. and excellent coffee) Supplies were frequently replenished and there were always plenty of vacant tables during our stay.
Having stayed in a number of 4 star hotels in Europe, we feel that this hotel is exceptionally good value for money. Clean and comfortable, with memorably different decor in an ideal location, it satisfied all our requirements admirably!
Loved every minute
This hotel is really magnificent. The location is perfect, just a few metres from Plaza Mayor, Puerta de Sol and the Opera, and about 200 metres from Royal Palace and the Gran Via street, so nowhere you can`t walk. The metro station Callao or Opera are also right next door, also the supermarket El corte ingles.
The room: we booked a standard room, but received a duplex one, which was really a pleasant surprice. So the room is really big, divided in two floors, which makes it very spacious, one floor with a living room, and the other floor with bedroom. The decoration is very modish, reminding the New York style. The room was equipped really with all the technological stuff, two plasma TV (in the living room, and in the bedroom), two bathrooms (in each floor) - one is quipped also with hairdryer, individual air condition, free internet access (wi-fi) and also a kitchen, which is small but nice. Specially the fridge did a great work.
Buffet breakfast is great - tea, coffee, juice, croissants, pastries, cheese, ham, cereal, plus hot bacon, omlette, and they serve til about 11.
The hotel staff was always nice and helpful so who wants more?

Product Description
From School Library Journal
Starred Review. Grade 9 Up–Boyne has written a sort of historical allegory–a spare, but vividly descriptive tale that clearly elucidates the atmosphere in Nazi Germany during the early 1940s that enabled the persecution of Eastern European Jews. Through the eyes of Bruno, a naive nine-year-old raised in a privileged household by strict parents whose expectations included good manners and unquestioning respect for parental authority, the author describes a visit from the Fury and the familys sudden move from Berlin to a place called Out-With in Poland. There, not 50 feet away, a high wire fence surrounds a huge dirt area of low huts and large square buildings. From his bedroom window, Bruno can see hundreds (maybe thousands) of people wearing striped pajamas and caps, and something made him feel very cold and unsafe. Uncertain of what his father actually does for a living, the boy is eager to discover the secret of the people on the other side. He follows the fence into the distance, where he meets Shmuel, a skinny, sad-looking Jewish resident who, amazingly, has his same birth date. Bruno shares his thoughts and feelings with Shmuel, some of his food, and his final day at Out-With, knowing instinctively that his father must never learn about this friendship. While only hinting at violence, blind hatred, and deplorable conditions, Boyne has included pointed examples of bullying and fearfulness. His combination of strong characterization and simple, honest narrative make this powerful and memorable tale a unique addition to Holocaust literature for those who already have some knowledge of Hitlers Final Solution.–Susan Scheps, Shaker Heights Public Library, OH

From Booklist
Gr. 7-10. Some of the most thought-provoking Holocaust books are about bystanders, including those who say they did not know what was happening. This first novel tells the bystander story from the viewpoint of an innocent child. Bruno is nine when his family moves from their luxurious Berlin home to the country, where "the Fury" has appointed Bruno's father commandant. Lost and lonely, the child hates the upheaval, while his stern but kind father celebrates his success because he has learned to follow orders. Bruno can see a concentration camp in the distance, but he has no idea what is going on, even when he eventually meets and makes friends with Shmuel, a boy from Cracow, who lives on the other side of the camp fence. The boys meet every day. They even discover that they have the same birthday. It's all part of a poignant construct: Shmuel is Bruno's alternative self, and as the story builds to a horrifying climax, the innocent's experience brings home the unimaginable horror. Pair this with Anne Frank's classic diary and Anita Lobel's No Pretty Pictures: A Child of War (1998). Hazel Rochman

The strength is in the narrative which mires the preoccupations of child's curiosity and interest in the high-wired compound inhabited by sad people in striped pyjamas. It is an effortless read that puts us directly into Bruno's and Shmuel's worldview.
Bruno is an explorer by heart and after doing so around the house he decides to do some of the area. After an hour or so he discovers Shmuel, a boy behind the fence in the camp. They start to talk about their life and every day they meet at the same spot. Till one day, Shmuel's father goes missing and Bruno wants to help his friend find him. He changes into the striped pyjamas, climbs under the fence and explores Shmuel's world……
This fabrication of the author's imagination is elegantly written and very moving. Although not particularly graphic or dark it will nevertheless leave a deep impact in any reader's minds. Mr. Boyne is a master in depicting the setting and capturing the character's emotions. The style is meant for the eyes of Young people therefore it may seem a bit simplistic for grown-ups, so with this in mind be prepare to read a sanitised version of the period, one with little historical significance and enjoy it for what it is.
Random House Children's Books | October 23, 2007 | Trade Paperback
Berlin 1942.
When Bruno returns home from school one day, he discovers that his belongings are being packed in crates. His father has received a promotion and the family must move from their home to a new house far, far away, where there is no one to play with and nothing to do. A tall fence running alongside stretches as far as the eye can see and cuts him off from the strange people he can see in the distance.
But Bruno longs to be an explorer and decides that there must be more to this desolate new place than meets the eye. While exploring his new environment, he meets another boy whose life and circumstances are very different to his own, and their meeting results in a friendship that has devastating consequences.
My Review:
Bruno is nine-years-old when he arrives home from school one day to find the maid, Maria packing up the belongings in his room. He becomes very upset and demands to know what is going on when his mother comes into the room and asks him to meet her downstairs in the dining room. Bruno is so anxious that he speeds past his mother and his waiting for her downstairs before she even has a chance to step off the first stair. She tells Bruno that his father has received an important promotion and they must leave Berlin and move to another city and live in another house. Bruno, of course, is quite upset as he doesn't want to leave his beloved home nor his three best friends. His mother assures him that things will be alright and that the whole family including: Bruno; his twelve-year-old sister, Gretel; their father; the maid, Maria; the butler, Lars; and Cook will all be moving together.Read more ›
Although I laughed at some of the situations that I read about I know realize that there was nothing to laugh about since the book is actually very sad in the end.
Many Jews were killed in this concentration camp and we know that it is horrible to think of all the things Hitler did but we need to know about all these things.
Here is a poem that I wrote myself about Concentration Camps
Concentration Camps
O what a shame
Never any pity from those nasty Germans
Can we even express the horrible deeds done
Even we know that Jews are not animals
Not fair or even civelized
Truelly horrible
Ready to die?
Actually stupidity
Tired People
Inclosed in a fence
Opposite of nice
Never do something like it!
Boyne's writing style is perfect to convey a childs thoughts and emotions at one of the darkest times in human history. Those who say otherwise, I feel, have missed the point (and therefore the beauty) of this book entirely. It truly brought me back to when I was a young lad. It gave me goosebumps, it made me laugh, and it serves as a warning of the evil that is possible when (to quote Edmund Burke) "good men do nothing."
I recommend "The Boy in the Striped Pajamas" as an easy and thought-provoking read and guarantee that it will be rewarding to anyone, no matter their age or depth of study.

Frederick M. Gittes, Principal
Frederick M. Gittes is former president of the National Employment Lawyers Association and the Ohio Association for Justice (formerly the Ohio Academy of Trial Lawyers). He was appointed Chair of the Civil Rights Committee of the Ohio State Bar Association for five years and elected Chairperson of the OSBA's Labor and Employment Law Section. He has been selected by a peer review process for inclusion in Best Lawyers in America for over twenty years, in areas of practice including Employment Law, First Amendment Law and Communications Law. In 2010, as in the previous several years, Fred was honored by being voted one of the top 100 lawyers in Ohio, as reported by Ohio Super Lawyers.
Fred has represented people from all walks of life – physicians, journalists, assembly line workers, nurses, social workers, teachers, truck drivers, mechanics, firefighters, police officers, legislators, tellers, sales representatives, bankers, engineers, attorneys, janitors, secretaries, radio and TV performers and news anchors – in a wide variety of cases. His legal work ranges from assisting individuals who are unemployed and disabled to representing high profile political personalities and executives. Fred has served as lead counsel in complex civil and criminal proceedings in Ohio, California, Florida, and New York. His practice includes employment law, civil rights, invasion of privacy, defamation, medical privileging, professional negligence, police misconduct, public records, and environmental law.
In 1996, Fred's firm became the first law firm ever presented with the ACLU of Ohio's statewide award for contributions to the preservation of civil rights and civil liberties. Fred's firm has also been awarded the Columbus Urban League Award for Excellence, the NAACP of Columbus' President's Award and the Environmental Achievement Award from the Ohio Environmental Council. In 2006, Fred was presented with the "First Amendment Award" of the Central Ohio Chapter of the Society of Professional Journalists for his work on free speech and public access issues and the Ohio Academy of Trial Lawyers' first ever "Courage" award for his wide ranging public interest litigation. In 2008, Fred was honored with the Ohio-NOW Legal & Education Fund's "Hammer of Justice" award.
As lead counsel in successful class-action civil rights cases, Fred has obtained relief involving promotions, monetary awards, creation of new EEO procedures, and department-wide reassignments. He was among the first attorneys to successfully argue that police departments violated the U.S. Constitution by authorizing officers to shoot non-violent fleeing felons absent any threat of harm to citizens or officers. He won a large jury verdict in a highly publicized case in Dayton, Ohio against union officials for the severe beating and shooting of two union members who sought to speak at a membership meeting.
Fred has also won substantial awards and settlements for attorneys attacked or arrested by police for trying to represent clients, including an attorney who was severely beaten by sheriff's deputies upon coming to the jail to speak to migrant workers arrested while protesting working conditions. Fred convinced the Ohio Supreme court to put an end to the destruction and withholding of internal police investigative files, in Police Officers for Equal Rights v. City of Columbus, and has won numerous monetary awards and appellate decisions protecting and requiring the disclosure of records under Ohio's public records laws.
Recently, in Abdi v. Karnes, he obtained a 2008 federal court decision in favor of the mother of a mentally ill teenager who was shot and killed by sheriff's deputies. The decision created a new precedent enhancing the civil rights of the mentally ill, and resulted in a record-setting payment, along with guarantees establishing a crisis intervention team and requiring proper training of deputies for dealing with mentally ill individuals in crisis situations. He won acquittals in two nationally reported criminal prosecutions, one involving protests at a KKK rally on the Statehouse steps in Columbus, Ohio.
Fred's appellate work includes briefing and arguing numerous cases before both the federal courts of appeals and the Ohio Supreme Court. He has also argued before the United States Supreme Court. Among the precedent-setting decisions he has argued and won from the Ohio Supreme Court are those recognizing sexual harassment as a tort, allowing court actions for employment discrimination, holding that company officers and managers who discriminate against or harass employees can be sued personally, and allowing employees to file suits against employers when they are fired for reasons that violate important public policies in state and federal laws and regulations.
Fred was a contributing editor for Model Jury Instructions Employment Litigation (American Bar Association: 1994); the author of "Taxing Our Civil Rights," Employee Rights Quarterly (Summer, 2000), and "Paper Promises: Race and Ohio Law After 1860," History of Ohio Law (Ohio University Press: 2004). He served on the Advisory Board for Age Discrimination and Litigation, (James Publishing, 2000). Fred has also been a columnist for Ohio Trial Magazine.
Fred received his B.A. (with honors) from Rollins College in 1968 and his J.D. (Cum Laude) from The Ohio State University College of Law in 1975. He received a Certificate of Achievement from the University of Oslo, Norway in 1967. Fred was a national finalist in the Westinghouse Science Talent Search and has published research papers concerning the interaction of Vitamin K1Analogue and radiation on blood coagulation. He completed much of the work on a Ph.D. in History before leaving graduate school for a career in law.

What Do Roger Ailes & Charlie Sheen Have in Common? Both Wanted to Hide Alleged Abuse of Women
Last week, longtime Fox News anchor and host Gretchen Carlson filed a lawsuit against Roger Ailes, the chairman of Fox News, alleging that he sexually harassed her in the workplace. Within a day, Ailes and his lawyers asked a court to force the case into arbitration, under a special gag order that would block anyone from publicly disclosing any of the evidence in the case or the outcome of the arbitration.

2010 Honda CR-V LX 4dr SUV (2.4L 4cyl 5A)
This has been one of the best vehicles I have ever owned. This car replaced my Toyota Tacoma pick-up and had big shoes to fill in doing that, happily I can say it more than served it's purpose for me and my family. From simply around town errand driving to long road trips, this zippy car is comfortable, has great pick-up, is safe in the wind and rain and is an all around great car. It looks like a Lexus when it has had a wash!
The CRV has been revised since the 2011 model so the rear tire wear problems may have been addressed by now. If not, plan to spend $500 - $1,500 a year on tires depending on your driving habits. The rears cup or scallop just as the did on the CIVIC but HONDA has yet (May 2014) to issue a technical service bulletin to correct the CRV.
The CRV is easy to drive and high enough to have a good view of traffic as situations develop ahead. Our prior vehicle was a Pilot which Honda advertised as "Big, not Bloated". I beg to differ. At the time we had four teenagers with us everywhere we went and the third row of seats was a handy feature.
Fix the rear wheel issue whether it is the alignment specs, as many believe, or the unadjustable camber.
I bought my NEW Honda CR-V in Feb 2010. It was assembled in Mexico. On the basis of reliability reputation of 'Honda', I decided to buy CR-V out of 3 choices- CR-V, RAV4 and Subaru Forester. In Feb 2010, Toyota was giving very good deal (0% APR) and Forester was rated the best. However, price for RAV4 and Forester was $1000 more than CR-V LX. As I thought I got good deal and I don't have any 'Brand' biasness, I bought CR-V. After 2yrs and driving 21,000 miles, it needs tire changed costing me $850. I am disappointed. Honda did not keep up its reputation. Plastic things fall off, clock runs fast, CD player get very hot within short time. Make noise when starts moving due to loose plastic...
I have had my CRV nearly a year.I am disappointed with the gas mileage and the lack of acceleration (mushy).I read the other Edmunds reviews and don't see really any other complaints on this - but I don't think that its right.I mentioned to dealer and they couldn't find a problem.Anyway.I like this vehicle.My other Honda is a 91 Accord coupe and frankly I think the 91 is better made and certainly gets better milage with 180 Kon it. When I bought the CRV I thought it would last too, but I am not so sure. It is pretty but it just doesn't perform as expected on the highway.Maybe I will trade in for a different model.
Excellent ride , both in the city and highway, window visibility excellent. mileage, almost 30 on highway. handles easily.
visibility window, easy to drive, dashboard easy to read
would have like more storage , similar to the 2002 CR-V we have

Game Center CX: Arino no Chousenjou
We explore Japan's crazy cool fake retro compilation on DS.
The Setup
Apparently, after being subjected to challenge after challenge on the show, Arino becomes the electronic "game devil" Arreno (a reference to Red Arremer, the gargoyle from Ghosts 'N Goblins that tormented him on the show) and decides to take it all out on you, the player. Using his powers, he sends you back to the 1980s and intends to regularly challenge you with the best games for the "Game Computer," a system that resembles Nintendo's seminal console, the Family Computer (NES). But you're not alone: you've been transported to the house of the young Arino, who befriends you and decides to encourage you as you try to defeat his older, grouchier self. Even Arino's mom chimes in off-camera to check up on little Shinya. You jump across certain days and months; Arreno then gives you challenge letters, making you complete written goals to move through the decade.
You're not helpless, though: you can flip through the games' manuals to learn how to play, and new issues of "Game Fan Magazine" arrive regularly. The magazine really helps bring the experience together, as it features news, previews, cheat codes, developer interviews, and mainstays like the month's software rankings and back-page staff columns. It's not long before the magazine catches word of a new RPG called Guadia Quest made by a trio of well-known creators, but months and months go by with more news of delays and cries of pain before its eventual release. The whole chain of events is humorously close to the actual history of the original Dragon Quest, so any Japanese gamer from back in the day can get a kick out of it. Some of the staff from the actual GCCX show make cameos in the mag as writers, game programmers, and designers as well.
Cameos aside, you don't need to have watched the TV show to understand it all, as long as you know who Arino is so you have an idea of why there's a scary polygonal head laughing at you. Additionally, only about two of the games actually reflect the types of challenges Arino is subjected to on the show; he's never tackled a racing game or traditional RPG, for instance. Furthermore, you don't even need to know much Japanese if all you want to do is try the games -- there are multiple sources on the web already with roughly-translated challenges, so getting through the games isn't so difficult.
The Games
Here's a breakdown of the eight games in Arino no Chousenjou.
Cosmic Gate: For all intents and purposes, this is a sequel to Galaga -- a simple improvement on the Space Invaders formula. But hey, it is supposed to be from 1984, and there are enough little additions to the formula to set it apart. For instance, take the warp gates that appear if you shoot a flashing enemy as it swoops in -- summon the gate, then keep firing at it to open it up and be sucked in to another far-off stage. You can also grab a power-up that shoots a powerful missile every third shot, which blasts through an entire column of enemies and racks up a score multiplier. And then there are "asteroid" stages every few rounds, where you must survive through asteroid fields, blowing up as many rocks as you can to rack up points. Although there are more than 60 stages, the game doesn't get nearly as fast and challenging as Galaga in its later stages. Therefore, Cosmic Gate can get pretty boring -- especially if you're failing to bring up those warp gates.
Rally King & Rally King SP: The most popular '80s racing games employed 3D perspective effects (like in OutRun), but many of them were actually presented from a bird's-eye view, and almost every rally-themed game used that perspective, even into the '90s. Rally King is a straightforward top-down racer, with your little rally buggy, big, wide-open tracks and a bunch of rock-stupid opponents and hairpin curves to crash into. You can use a drift maneuver that gives you a nitro boost, Mario Kart-style, but other than that, you'll have to come to grips with the handling of the buggy. It turns rather slowly, but as long as you play it like any other racer, learning the courses and using proper braking, it becomes pretty enjoyable.
Rally King SP has the same courses but with modified weather that heightens the difficulty, and a general makeover thanks to it being the Game Fan Magazine/Cup-Tori Ramen edition, given away only as a prize for consumers of the ramen. There were plenty of real-life limited edition Famicom games like this, but the ramen tie-in is likely a parody of an actual ramen-licensed version of Gradius that was distributed to lucky noodle-hungry kids.

Current law says a gun should be "secured" in a closed container when it's in a vehicle. Rockbridge County Delegate Ben Cline introduced legislation specifying that secured does NOT mean locked.

"I'd never felt joy like that before! It felt so good I just wanted to keep smiling forever! And I wanted everyone I knew to smile too, but rainbows don't come along that often. I wondered, how else could I create some smiles?" - Pinkie Pie (The Cutie Mark Chronicles) if you are interested in further cosplays & progress - just check out my page: https://www.facebook.com/PinkiePeriCosplay ;)
