This application is a utility application which claims the benefit of U.S. Provisional Application Ser. No. 60/471,418, filed May 16, 2003. The entire contents of the provisional application are hereby incorporated by reference.
A pair of shoes is typically adapted for a specific use, with a person owning a number of different types of shoes for different purposes.
For example, different shoes may be used for walking, for hiking, for athletic activities, or for formal occasions. Even within each type of shoe category, a number of pairs of shoes may be required, such as a pair of hiking shoes suitable for snow, a pair for wet terrain, and a lightweight pair designed for greater comfort on long hikes over dry terrain. Similarly, formal footwear may include different colors and styles of shoes for different clothing, and different types of occasions.
The useful variety of available footwear poses particular problems for the traveler, who is frequently faced with the task of packing a variety of gear into one or two bags suitable for carrying. This problem is made worse by the fact that each shoe may be bulky and rigid, requiring significant space in a travel bag, and adding significant weight to the bag once it has been packed.
There remains a need for footwear that offers versatility to travelers in a compact form.
A modular shoe is provides which separates into components. The components may be interchangeable to provide versatility without requiring a large number of complete shoes. Each subcomponent may also be collapsible to provide for convenient packing in a travel bag or other location where space is limited.
In one embodiment, the shoe of this invention comprises the following components: a foot enclosure for receiving a foot, a chassis adapted to fit beneath the foot enclosure, and a shell surrounding the chassis and foot enclosure for engaging the foot while in use. These components are removable and replaceable to provide a variety of options for the wearer.
In another embodiment, the modular shoe of this invention includes a foot enclosure, a chassis and a shell, wherein the lower surface of the chassis has treads which protrude through one or more openings in the bottom of the shell.
In a further embodiment, the shoe of this invention includes a weatherproof barrier for protecting the foot of the wearer against adverse weather conditions, such as those resulting from rain, water, mud or snow.
The foregoing and other objects and advantages of the invention will be appreciated more fully from the following further description thereof, with reference to the accompanying drawings, wherein:
To provide an overall understanding of the invention, certain illustrative embodiments will now be described, including a modular shoe with three components: a foot enclosure, a chassis, and a shell. However, it will be understood that the footwear systems described herein may have utility as a different number of components and subcomponents, such as treads, shell, chassis, and foot enclosure, and may employ components and subcomponents adapted for any number of aesthetic or functional purposes. All such footwear designs are intended to fall within the scope of the systems described herein.
The shell 102 may be formed of conventional shoe materials, such as leather, vinyl, suede, woven material, rubber, or plastic, or combinations of these. The materials for the shell 102 may also be selected according to conventional footwear design constraints including aesthetics, durability, flexibility, or comfort. In general, the shell 102 may be any component providing an exterior surface to the shoe 100 described herein. Thus a number of shells may be carried by a traveler, with each shell serving a particular aesthetic or functional role for the traveler.
The cinching mechanism 104 may be shoe laces, Velcro straps, buckles or any other device or devices for securing the shoe 100 about the foot of a wearer. The cinching mechanism 104 of the shell 102 may be tightened to securely engage the shell 102, the foot enclosure 106, and the chassis about the foot of the wearer while the shoe 100 is in use. The cinching mechanism 104 may be loosened to permit removal and disassembly of the shoe.
The chassis, which will be discussed in further detail below, may provide a supportive bottom surface beneath the foot enclosure 106, such as a rigid, semi-rigid, or flexible support surface, and may include padding along its top surface for the comfort of a wearer of the shoe 100. In general, the chassis may be any component providing rigid support to the overall shoe 100 described herein.
The foot enclosure 106 may be positioned within the shell 102, and is generally adapted to receive a foot of a wearer. In general, the foot enclosure 106 may be any component adapted to receive a wearer's foot. Where the foot enclosure 106 comes directly in contact with the foot, the foot enclosure 106 may have an interior surface comfortable for such direct contact. The foot enclosure 106 may include a padded bottom surface. The foot enclosure 106 may be formed of any suitable material including natural or synthetic woven materials, breathable membranes that are permeable to water vapor but not liquid, and/or an elastic material that stretches to adapt to the shape of a foot. The foot enclosure 106 may also include additional padding or a wear guard directly beneath the cinching mechanism 104 to provide additional comfort at this pressure point within the shoe, and/or to reduce wear on the foot enclosure 106 during repetitive tightening and loosening of the cinching mechanism 104.
Although it is expected that the foot enclosure 106 will remain fixed within the shell 102 when a user's foot is inserted into and removed from the shoe 100, the foot enclosure may further include a zipper (not shown) or other mechanism to facilitate insertion and removal of a foot directly from the enclosure 106 so that the foot enclosure may additionally serve as a slipper apart from the shell 102. In one embodiment, the foot enclosure 106 may be positioned above the chassis. However, it will be appreciated that the foot enclosure 106 may instead enclose the chassis, in which case the chassis would preferably present an upper surface that comfortably engages the foot of the wearer. Further, while the foot enclosure 106 is depicted as a slipper or sock-like component that encloses most of a foot, other types of foot enclosures may be used, such as a strap or band of elastic material, a sandal-like configuration that slides between the toes, around the ankle, or some other portion or portions of the foot, or any other arrangement that operates to hold the foot securely within the shoe 100. All such structures and configurations are intended to fall within the scope of the term "foot enclosure" 106 as that term is used herein, except where specifically described otherwise.
Each of the foot enclosure 106, the chassis, and the shell 102 may be removable and replaceable so that the shoe 100 may be disassembled and reassembled. Or, one of the components may be removed and replaced with a different component. For example, a user may change from a brown shell 102 to a black shell 102 to match a change in clothing. Or the user may change to a chassis with a more aggressive tread before an off-road hike. Or the user may insert a new foot enclosure 106 or chassis after a day's use.
It will be readily appreciated that any number of different or additional components may be included with the shoe 100 described herein, and that the components may be differently arranged. For example, the chassis may be positioned within the foot enclosure 106 rather than between the foot enclosure 106 and the shell 102, with suitable adaptations of padding, surface materials, and attachment mechanisms. All such arrangements are intended to fall within the scope of the footwear described herein.
It will be appreciated that, although not depicted here, in certain embodiments more or less of the surface of the bottom surface of the shoe 200 may be formed from the chassis 202. In certain embodiments, the chassis 202 may not protrude through the shell 208 at all, with the shell 208 forming the entire bottom surface of the shoe 200. However, combining treads 204 with the chassis 202 in an integrated subcomponent permits the nature of the treads 204 to match any interior padding in the chassis 202 so that both the interior cushioning and the treads may be conveniently matched to a particular use of the shoe, such as hiking.
The first attachment device 308 and the second attachment device 310 may include any mechanism for securing the foot enclosure 306 within the shell 302 and/or the chassis 304. For example, the devices 308, 310 may include mating Velcro strips on the foot enclosure 306 and the shell 302, or a similarly positioned button and button hole, or a button and snap, or other device or mechanism for securing the foot enclosure 306 within the shoe 300. Once the devices 308, 310 have been detached from one another, the foot enclosure 306 may be withdrawn from the shell 302 as depicted. When the foot enclosure 306 is inserted into the shell, the devices 308, 310 may be reattached to secure the foot enclosure 306 in place. Although the precise placement and nature of the devices 308, 310 is not essential, it is preferred that the devices 308, 310 are of the same type, and in the same location for different shells and foot enclosures, so that the modular nature of the shoe 300 is maintained.
The tool 312 may provide a surface against which a downward pressure may be conveniently exerted while pulling upward to withdraw the foot enclosure 306 from the shell 302. The tool 312 may be generally U-shaped, and the groove 314 in a heel area of the shell 302 may mate with the tool 312 so that the tool 312 horizontally slides onto and off of the groove 314. Any other tool or technique that provides a suitable surface for applying force counter to withdrawal of the foot enclosure 306 may be similarly employed.
The treads 508, as noted above, may be configured to protrude through openings (not shown) in the shell 502 to provide a gripping surface while the shoe 500 is in use. As noted above, the tread type may vary according to an expected use for the chassis 508, such as for sporting, outdoor, casual, or formal use. Any suitable padding or cushioning, such as foam or an air or gas bladder (or interconnecting or isolated groups of bladders) may be included in the chassis 506 to cushion areas, such as the heel for the user's foot.
The chassis 506 may also include uniform or varying reinforcements, or layers of stiff material, in order to impart a desired degree of stiffness to the entire chassis 506, and individual areas thereof. For example, a stiff heel area may be desired to distribute the shock across a padded area of the chassis 506 when the heel strikes a surface during walking, whereas a more flexible area may be desired further forward in the shoe where the foot naturally flexes during walking motion.
The gasket 510 may be, for example, a rubber bead attached to the chassis 506 where the chassis 506 mates with the shell 502. The frictional engagement of the chassis 506 to the shell 502 may secure the chassis 506 within the shell 502, and provide a watertight seal to a bottom surface of the shoe 500.
The tab 512 may align and further secure the chassis 506 within the shell 502 by mating with a corresponding slot (not shown) in the shell 502.
From this perspective, a slot 708 is visible on the rear surface of the shell 702. A corresponding tab 710 is visible on the chassis 704. In operation, the tab 710 is urged into an interlocking engagement with the slot 708 by a rigid back surface 712 of the chassis 704 when the chassis 704 is inserted into the shell 702. In order to disengage the chassis 704 from the shell 702, the rigid back surface 712 may be pressed toward the front of the shoe 700 so that the tab 710 releases from the slot 708 in the shell 702. The heel portion of the chassis 704 may then be drawn upward and out of the shell 702, as described above.
It will also be noted that a reinforced area 714 is provided on the foot enclosure 706. This may prevent chaffing when this region of the foot enclosure 706 is aligned with laces 716 of the shell 702. The reinforced area 714 may be rigid to distribute the pressure exerted by the laces 716 (or other cinching mechanism) against the foot enclosure 706 when the shoe 700 is in use.
Other additions and modifications may be made to the modular shoes described herein that are not depicted in the above drawings. For example, an optional or supplemental layer may be provided to be worn under certain weather conditions. This weatherproof layer may present a barrier to, for example, water, snow, or wind, so that a shoe additionally employing the weatherproof layer is specifically adapted for use in water, snow, or mud, or on surfaces such as ice, or in particular inclement conditions. The weatherproof layer may also be designed for other weather conditions, such as by fashioning the layer of an absorbing or wicking material for use in hot weather. The weatherproof layer may be disposed about the outside of the shell to provide an exterior barrier to such elements or conditions, or the weatherproof layer may be disposed between layers of the shoe, such as between the shell and the chassis, or between the chassis and the foot enclosure, or more generally anywhere between the shell and the foot enclosure of the shoes described above. The weatherproof layer may also be a sock, bootie, or similar sheath that serves as a foot enclosure in place of, or in addition to, the foot enclosures described above.
In certain embodiments, the components of the shoe may be collapsible to permit convenient stowage, such as in a travel bag or other location where space is limited. Non-rigid components may be collapsible in any convenient fashion. Relatively rigid components may include grooves, creases, or hinges to permit folding along certain lines into a more compact geometry suitable for packing or other stowage. Any one or more of the components may be collapsible in this fashion.
In various embodiments, the modular shoe described herein may provide a number of advantages over existing shoes. The modular shoe may be compact and lightweight, while providing the functional and stylistic variety of a number of different shoe types and colors. The relatively low weight and small size, when compared to numerous pairs of shoes that might otherwise be required or desired, may provide particular advantage to a traveler with limited luggage space for footwear. Furthermore, the shoe may be separated into components that may be more easily cleaned and dried, and components such as the foot enclosure or chassis may be refreshed and replaced conveniently to avoid wearing the same footwear over a number of days.
In certain embodiments, some or all of the components of the shoe may be washable to permit cleaning of shoes in a sink or, if machine washable, with other laundry. To this end, some or all of the components may be made of washable materials that can be cleansed with water and soap or other detergents or cleaning agents. Such materials may include a washable leather or any of a number of synthetic materials. The material(s) may be hydrophobic to facilitate drying and relatively quick reuse.
While the invention has been disclosed in connection with the preferred embodiments shown and described in detail, it will be understood that the invention is not to be limited to the embodiments disclosed herein, but is to be understood from the following claims, which are to be interpreted as broadly as allowed under the law.

When I try to use your Xin Magazine template my podcast message player appears to be shrunk in size and even if I alter the size within the player code (see below) it makes no difference to how the player looks on my web page, the player always looks very small.
Here is the code - <embed width="500" height="900" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" src="http://sermonplayer.com/swf/free_ads_player.swf" quality="high" allowscriptaccess="always" wmode="transparent" allowfullscreen="true" flashvars="clientid=102768&d=http://sermonplayer.com/" pluginspage="http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer" align="middle" /></object>
Here is the url of our Message page - http://upperroom.org.uk/messages/
I have tried a few other themes and the player appears at the correct size, can you see if there is a reason for my difficulty? Is it a compatibility problem with the theme?
I really like the appearance of your Magazine theme and would like to use it but if I cannot get the player to be at the correct size them I will not be able to do this.
Thanks for your help.

AUSTIN (October 15, 2013)--Humorist and Kinky Friedman says he's going to run as a Democrat for Texas agriculture commissioner.
In a statement released Tuesday, Friedman said legalizing marijuana and revitalizing the hemp industry would be his top priorities if elected.
Friedman last ran for agriculture commissioner in 2010, but lost in the Democratic primary.
He ran for governor as an independent in 2006 and came in third with 12 percent of the vote.
So far only three Democrats have announced their candidacy for statewide office, including state Sen. Wendy Davis, R-Fort Worth, for governor and Mike Collier for state comptroller.
Four Republicans are vying for that party's nomination for agriculture commissioner, including J Allen Carnes, Brandon Creighton and Eric Opiela.
The agriculture commissioner markets Texas farm and ranch products and regulates the industry.

Foyle's War : Season 8
Critic Reviews
- Critic score
- Publication
- By date
Even the actors in the smallest roles are three-dimensional, a rich tribute to Britain's theatrical talent. If these are, as Horowitz claims, the last episodes of Foyle he writes, both he and his longtime actor-collaborators are bowing out on a very high note indeed.
The world may have changed, but Foyle has lost none of his brusque appeal, even though he appears sulkier than usual to be drawn back into the shadows to protect pawns in an increasingly deadly conflict. It's great to have him back.
This grayer, chillier Foyle's War may not suit everyone, but it's admirable, and a bit remarkable, that Mr. Horowitz has moved the show forward in a way that makes historical and dramatic sense.

Middle East
Christian Maronite Tensions Rise Ahead of Elections
Lebanon has been considered unique in the Arab world ever since it was created by the French as a largely Christian enclave surrounded by mostly Muslim states. But rather than band together to protect their status, Lebanese Christians have engaged in constant internal turf wars.
The tension between the Muslim and Christian worlds takes on a very personal character when it comes to Lebanon. It's a Muslim majority country — but with a large Christian population too. And the constitution says the president should always be a Maronite Christian. That rule was meant to share the power between religious groups.
But as a scheduled presidential election approaches, it's actually led to tension within a religious group. Christians can't agree on who to support. Fighting among Christian factions has shaped much of Lebanon's history.

The city Department of Education (DOE) is asking parents to email their opinions on school budget cuts and offer suggestions about what areas should or should not lose funding.
"We're trying to get input from everyone," Louis Aiani, deputy executive director of the DOE's Integrated Service Center, told District 20's Community Education Council (CEC).
Mayor Michael Bloomberg wants to cut $324 million from the DOE's budget for the next school year. He already cut $180 million this year by taking 1.75 percent away from each New York City public school's budget.
While the DOE is expected to give each public school a similar

I'd like to block incoming TeamViewer connections to my network, but at the same time to allow outgoing TeamViewer connections.
So that users can't connect to their work PCs with TV (circumventing domain authentication) but at the same time could connect to clients PCs to help fix problems.
Is it at all possible?

Flowers For Algernon
Study Guide- Progress Reports 1-6
1. Why do you think it is important for Charlie to write down "every thing that happins" to him?
So they can record his activites and they can record his educational progress. Also to see what activities he did before and after the operation was done.
2. Why can't Charlie find the pictures in the inkblot?
Because its all blury to him and since he's retarded he can't find the pictures within.
3. Why does Charlie think he fails the test?
Because the doctor keeps telling to keep looking because everytime he guesses he sees something its wrong.
4. Why does Charlie want to be smart so badly?
To prove to his parents and his friends that he is smart. Also so he can have smart friends.
5. What kind of person is Gimpy? How do you know?
He's an a-hole.
He yells at him for dropping rolls and other accidents that Charlie causes.
6. What is Charlie's relationship with his family now? How about in the past?
He never talks to them or sees them.
He doesn't even know if they are alive or not. He doesn't remember them.
7. What does Charlie think of Algernon?
He thinks he's really smart and really smart. He wishes he could be smarter than him.
8. Compare and contrast Charlie's motivation to Algernon's motivation.
Charlies motivation is to be smart and prove to everyone he can be smart. Algernon's motivation is cheese.
9. What are the risks? What are the possible benefits to science, Charlie, and others like him? Do you agree that Charlie should risk the operation? Would you take the risk if you were in Charlie' position?
He could become more retarted. He could become smart and then lose all his smarts. He could die.
He could be smart and be better off in life. It would be a scientific break through for all retards.
Yes. He really wants to be smart.
Hell ya. If i was already retarded i would want to be smart and i really wouldn't mind if i became more retarded.
10.How is the operation a "2nd chanse" for Charlie?
It gives him a chance to start his life over and be smart. He could have a normal life.
11. What kind of person is Miss Kinnian? How do you know?
She's a very nice and caring person.
She likes to help Charlie and she wants him to get smart. She always recomends him for the operation because he has the most improvement.

Mock OrangeVer en iTunes
Para escuchar en vista previa una canción, pasa el ratón sobre el título y haz clic en reproducir. Abre iTunes para comprar y descargar música.
The combined influences of abrasive punk and heartfelt melodies represent Mock Orange to a point of being thrown into the category of "emo." But the opportunity of four friends growing up and playing music together is more important than any classification of their sound. Developed by Ryan (guitar/vocals), Joe (guitar/vocals), Brandon (bass) and Heath (drums), Mock Orange eventually signed with Lobster Records, released their first full-length Nines & Sixes in 1998 and followed the rest of the year with a full-scale tour of the United States. Record Play arrived a year later.

Skip to comments.Religion is the problem. [Piñata for the RF]
Posted on 01/19/2009 4:40:38 PM PST by gpk9
Religion is the problem, just like government is the problem.
In both cases people have beliefs that don't fit reality.
In both cases people try to push their beliefs on other people.
In both cases people believe in fairytales that just aren't true. They have no factual support.
In both cases people believe "faith" should substitute for facts, like with Obama for instance, and Bush for that matter, and "going to heaven" for instance, and an "ever-burning hell" for that matter.
In both cases you can't say what you think.
In both cases you have to be "politically correct."
In both cases people are generally of poor character.
In both cases people have little or no integrity.
In both cases people have little or no honesty.
In both cases people have very thin skin, and can't take criticism.
In both cases people think they're better than everyone else.
Wow. Bad day much?
PEOPLE are the problem. You can blame everything under the sun on ideas and institution but nothing can excuse a person for his choices.

Now now, atheist supremacists don't think they are better than everyone else. They KNOW it. < /sarc >
Whats your address? I will send you a rope.
I'll consider your analysis valid when my pastor shows up at my front door threatening to lock me up in the Fireside Room unless I relinquish 50% of my earnings.
Define reality.
Like you're doing?
In both cases people think they're better than everyone else.
Like you do?
Define "reality," atheist. And, while you're at it, please explain why you feel so compelled to push your godless religion upon others.
Islam is the problem. And, after tomorrow, it will have an ally in the White House.
Do you have the "in both" program in your personal computer?
Interesting analysis . I'd have to say that most of the responses tend to support your arguments.
I agree religion is bad. Religion is man's attempt to please God or become one. A Relationship with the Creator of the universe is what you need.
Religion doesn't have a monopoly on violence to force you do what they want you to do. No religion runs a jail that uses rape as a control tool. You lack the ability to make even the simplest distinctions.
Let me guess, you've grown bored with FR and you're committing blogicide by moderator?
literally your bottom line dude.
so...what religion was Hitler, Pol Pot, and Stalin???
John Lenin, is that you?
"Thinkers" that try to identify "The Problem" in simple terms are idiots indulging in mental masturbation.
See http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-religion/2167216/posts?page=97#97 to see the author of this odd vanity at work.
Imagine all the people,
Living for the collective.
He's one of these, "the church age has ended" folks. All organized religion is the work of the devil today. I've talked to these guys before.
Never blame "God" for the acts of man.
And never, ever start a thread that is potentially volatile without the appropriate safety armor.
What's your "solution"?
"Interesting analysis . Id have to say that most of the responses tend to support your arguments."
It would appear that way.
And, of course, you are better than all of them.
Religion drools. Jesus rules.
You're quite welcome.
Is this a vanity or is there a source?
It appears to be vanity based on immature resentment.
Is this your original thinking or did you cut and paste this alert from www.flatlinebrainwaves.com ?
Or maybe it will just natter on ... we have to post our kittehs somewhere!
Shhh!! I did not realize this was the religion forum.
At a retreat for priests, one of the clerics complained loudly and publicly about the Church's wealth. He insisted the Church sell off its artworks, cash in its investments, and give the proceeds to the poor. After the session the priest came up to Sheen and repeated his remonstrances.
Sheen eyed him and asked, "How much did you steal?" "What?" said the priest, indignant. "How much did you steal?" repeated Sheen. The priest protested. Sheen asked again, "How much did you steal?" At length the priest admitted he had been taking money from the collection basket, his rationale being that, since the Church wasn't a good steward of its wealth, he could put the money to better use than the hierarchy could.
Just so! Your self-righteous protestations sound to me as if they come from eerily similar motivations. Come home! God loves you!
In the meantime, though, remember that this is the Religion Forum. Your drive-by potshots are perceived around here as incendiary. And rightly so. Do not be surprised, then, that you are being pilloried with indignant scorn on this thread. Neither should you be surprised if you continue in this vein and are simply dismissed in the future as an Internet variant of the Village Atheist: a perpetually angry crackpot fit to simply be ignored. If you won't "come home" to God, you might want to consider at least taking your verbal Molotov Cocktails and throwing them elsewhere. Nothing good can come of this sort of self-important nonsense.
Oops. Too late :) It will all disappear behind a cloud of smoke anyway.
Grow up.
>> Religion is the problem, just like government is the problem.
As the saying goes, if you're not part of the solution, then you're part of the problem.
I know where I stand. "As for me and my house, we shall serve the Lord".
What's *your* solution, FRiend?
Well, for the "most part" that is true. There is only one exception. Christianity is true, 100%. Otherwise, everything else is okay...
Was your reality check canceled?
Eyewitnesses of events that happened often before multitudes of people
Stone markers and other memorials where events took place, which the people then living could go and see for themselves, some of which still remain today,
Events and places traceable on a map
Prophecies consistently repeated, elaborated over centuries and even millennia, concretely fulfilled.
The one thing it is not is a collection of fairy tales
"Die Religion ... ist das Opium des Volkes."
Herr Marx apparently never considered the potential of atheism.
The perfect world does not exist nor will it ever. There are evil people in this world and so long as there are there will be no peace. Religions try to control evil for the most part but they too have different definitions of evil and usually the competing religion is an evil one. Religion in itself is not a problem, the people that practice it, that have different ideas as to what is right and what is wrong, create a problem when they can't meet on common ground. Why do we believe? Maybe because we fear death or we are not at the development stage where we are capable of knowing why we exist? I was brought up to believe that God loves everyone, he forgives us for being bad and he is the creator of all things (a simplistic answer for what can not be explained). If God loves everyone and is forgiving why does he need hell? He should forgive all those evil people sent there and pardon them. If the Devil is so evil, God should just evaporate him. Remove the Devil, provide food, shelter and good climate and there would be no problems. God could go on an extended vacation. Man has worshiped Gods since the beginning. The Sun was God. Early man may have been on the right track with that one. Think about it, if you take away the Sun, there would be no mankind and no religions.
Don't move.

This is slightly OT, I know, but I haven't had much luck finding help elsewhere...
For some reason, a lot of links come into my blog from http://www.higgs-family.net/%7ejeremy/... instead of http://www.higgs-family.net/~jeremy/... (which is how it's setup in the options). As a result, I get a whole ton of incorrect referrer tags from people who have come in through the %7e link.
I've been trying to create a RewriteRule that will do this, but haven't had much luck...
I've added the following to a .htaccess file at the base of the document root (for http://www.higgs-family.net/):
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^/%7ejeremy/?$ http://www.higgs-family.net/~jeremy/$1 [R=permanent]
... however, it does nothing. I also tried:
RewriteRule ^/$ http://www.higgs-family.net/~jeremy/ [R]
... but it did nothing, too. Redirects ARE working, as I have a .htaccess in the ~jeremy directory.
Any suggestions?
Thanks for any help!

Vince: Don't believe for a minute I didn't see what happen last week on Smackdown. I refuse to give you a title shot if you even relativity invovled with RVD.
Chris Beniot: You know what I might be. Cause RVD made a good point. You never gave us a chance at the title cause of our size. You know what I maybe involved someway but I guess you will find out sooner or later.
Chris Beniot punks out Vince McMahon.

Beniot: You want back at me. Why not face to face.
Vince: I am a great businessman and there is no chance in my company going to hell because of a few loose cannons. Thats is why I will be the guest referee in teh elimination match and I will make sure neither of you win. If its the last thing I do I will not left my company be taken over.
Angle: But we will be taking over. We will. Come on out RVD. Come out Edge. Come out Eddie. One of us will win the title at Armageddon with the help of RVD.
Match 4
Chris Kanyon vs. Funaki

Barbecue lovers will still be able to get a free taste at the annual state championship in Galax, after city council passed an ordinance exempting the locality and non-profits from a state code that could have prohibited giving away food.
Ron Passmore — co-owner of The Galax Smokehouse and one of the coordinators of Smoke on the Mountain, the Virginia State BBQ Championship held every year in mid-July — presented the food service ordinance to Galax City Council at the May 23 meeting.
Staff Report
INDEPENDENCE — Kirk's Laundromat in Independence recently sustained heavy damage as the result of a structure fire, according to the Independence Volunteer Fire Department.
According to a report, the department was dispatched to the laundromat at 5:11 p.m. on May 30. When Engine 82 arrived on scene, firefighters saw heavy smoke billowing from the structure.
Firefighter Kevin Newman, Second Lt. Brandon Thompson and the team set to work dousing the flames.
Staff Reports
New federal child sexual abuse charges against double homicide suspect Richard Denny Nofsinger Jr. mean that the Galax man potentially faces two trials — in U.S. District Court for the abuse charges and in Carroll County Circuit Court for the killings of a mother and her infant daughter.
Sources close to the case say it could be quite a while before either case go to trial, but prosecution for the federal charges could take place before the suspect goes to court on the state murder charges.
By LARRY CHAMBERS, Staff
INDEPENDENCE – Several prisoners serving sentences in state prisons across Virginia have been indicted by a Grayson County Circuit Court grand jury.
The incidents occurred when the prisoners were held at River North Correctional Center in Independence. Some are now at other prisons.
The grand jury met April 22 and several indictments were sealed until arrests could be made. An indictment is a formal charge, not a determination of guilt.
The Virginia State Police had a relatively safe and quiet Memorial Day holiday weekend, both in the Twin Counties and throughout the state. In our area, only one accident resulted in minor injuries and overall, state traffic fatality numbers were down.
According to First Sgt. Michael Musser with the state police office in Galax, the Twin County area saw 18 total accidents from Friday through Monday evening. One of those accidents resulted in minor injuries. "Traffic was heavy as usual for Memorial Day and, fortunately, we had no major accidents," Musser said.
Virginia has launched a new statewide initiative to better understand which areas have the largest gaps in broadband coverage.
Gov. Terry McAuliffe recently announced the initiative at a ceremony to sign House Bill 912, which makes it easier to put telecommunications infrastructure in the rights-of-way for state-maintained roads.
The new initiative, RUOnlineVA, provides a platform for Virginia residents and businesses to notify the Commonwealth whether they have access to broadband internet connections.
Derek Kitts – a Roanoke native, decorated U.S. Army veteran, Southern Baptist, husband and father – has thrown his hat in the ring to represent the 9th Congressional District as a Democrat who is both pro-gun and pro-choice.
Kitts did three tours of Iraq and one of Afghanistan, garnering two Bronze Stars and a Purple Heart.
WOODLAWN — A Carroll County company has met its investment goal more than 18 months early and exceeded its hiring goal, after receiving a Virginia Tobacco Commission grant.
The state money received by Thomas Automation Management (TAM) came with requirements that it meet certain capital and employment targets by October 2017. According to a company news release on Friday, it met those goals in March.
The Grayson County School Board's recent adoption of a policy regulating transgender students' restroom use has caused some controversy among people on both sides of the issue, and raised questions among those unfamiliar with transgender issues.
According to the American Psychological Association, "transgender" is an umbrella term that "incorporates differences in gender identity, wherein one's assigned biological sex doesn't match their felt identity."
INDEPENDENCE — Due to loss of revenue, paired with feedback from the community, Grayson County Treasurer Kelly Haga has suggested the elimination of decals for vehicles in the county, in exchange for a fee that will be easier to manage and enforce.
Haga presented this request to the Grayson County Board of Supervisors at the May 16 meeting.
In a memo to the board, Haga explained that the county's decal sales in 2015 generated a revenue of $259,785. The expected revenue was $428,075.

Visual Art In/Visible Is Up: Support Responsible Abstraction
posted by March 26 at 10:07 AMon
Because I'm a semiotics nerd, one of my favorite pieces by LA-based artist Geoff McFetridge is a drawing of concentric rectangles with the slogan, "Support Responsible Abstraction." When you think about it, there is a lot of irresponsible abstraction going aroundyou know, the kind determined to mystify some original meaning or impulse that A) may or may not really even be known to the artist, and B) may or may not be worth memorializing in paint anyway. Either way, it pushes the viewer away. What would responsible abstraction look like? McFetridge says it's not the kind that broadcasts that it's hoarding a secret. It gives instead of takes.
McFetridge's background is graphic design. He studied it straight-up as an undergrad in Alberta, Canada, and then moved on to "conceptual graphics" (graphics that are well-considered but often look like crap) as a grad student at CalArts. Now, he has his own studio in Southern California, where he works both as a fine artist, making public murals, gallery pieces, and artist books, and as a commercial designer for various companies (especially skateboard and snowboard), and movies and TV (he did the titles for "The Virgin Suicides" and "Freaks and Geeks").
His new installation in Seattle will be up at the Olympic Sculpture Pavilion for a whole year. It's about where graphics and sculpture meetabout the imaginative transition from two dimensions to three, from flat to real, from general and iconic to specific and personal.
He hung sheets of thin plywood that he bent to look like posters with the ends curled up. They're nailed to the wall, but swaths of blue tape and giant sculptures of tacks pretend to hold them up. One of the giant tacks has the round head of a pin, but casts the painted shadow of a mighty pushpin. It has bigger ideas for itself.
Don't take my word for any of this; listen to the artist talk. I caught up with him while he was working at the pavilion, and we talked about responsible abstraction, pre-op transgeometrism (not a fancy word, but a condition we invented), and why he wouldn't mind designing a cigarette commercial in Japan.
BLVD owner Damian Hayes put up some great photos of the installation in progress on Flickr, and here's one of them:
Want more? Here are two of McFetridge's moving animations: his video of the Whitest Boy Alive song "Golden Cage"…
And an illustration he did for the New York Times Magazine's Year in Ideas 2007…
The installation opens today.

John Legere went on Twitter today and announced that anyone who purchases a Galaxy S6 or Galaxy S6 Edge through T-Mobile will be given a free year of Netflix.

Obama Urges FCC to Re-Classify Internet Under Title II to Keep It "Open and Free," Include Mobile Broadband
Thanks in part to 4 million comments by the American people, President Barack Obama and the White House released a statement this morning in favor of net neutrality and keeping the internet "open and free." His stance is that the internet is "essential" to our economy, is one of the greatest "gifts" to our society, and that the FCC should reclassify it under Title II of the Telecommunications Act, essentially turning it into a utility.

Netflix Update v3.1.0 on Android Adds Profile Support
Historically, Netflix hasn't had the most egalitarian attitude toward Android. An application wasn't made available or Android devices until 2011, months after the iOS release, and for years had a user interface that bore the notorious unresponsiveness of an HTML wrapper. Of late, though, things have been improving: the Nexus 7 2013 was the first tablet to receive streams in 1080p HD, and version 3.0 of the Netflix app, released in October, vastly improved the fluidity of navigation on Android devices. In light of these recent positive steps, it's only fitting that Netflix finally add a feature that's been available on other platforms for the better half of a year: profile sign-in. (more…)

I'm not sure if I understand the question correctly, but can't you place your probes around your level in your engine. Then for every probe, render a cube map located at the probe position, then convert the cube maps to a set of SH coefficients and store them. At render time, render spheres(for example) at your probe's position, pass the SH harmonics coeffiecents for this probe to the shader, and for every pixel, get its world position, calculate the vector pixel->probe pisition, which can be used as normal to extract the light comming from that direction stored in the SH and shade that pixel with "global light" .

I'm not sure what you actually mean ( your statements sound a bit contradictory to me ), but I'm afraid that you can not reuse anything along different instances of a mesh, when it comes to lighting them using a lightmap. They occupy different places and orientations in space, so they must be lit differently by the lights in the scene.

Published October 19, 2011
Years ago, some public relations/advertising company came up with the slogan: OHIO, THE HEART OF IT ALL. If you know your geography at all, you can see that Ohio's positioned where 'the heart' of America would be located. On the show, I've often referred to Ohio as 'the heartbreak of it all' My best recollection is that I did a lot of referring to 'the heartbreak' when Ohio was called for G.W. Bush in 2000.
I've written and talked frequently about the failure of our elected officials to enact even tiny advances for those who cannot speak for themselves...and TODAY, THE WORLD KNOWS THAT OHIO REMAINS THE HEARTBREAK OF IT ALL. While on air this morning, I watched online as the story of the tragedy of the Zanesville area so-called exotic animal refuge spread around the world from the UK's Guardian, BBC and Telegraph to Reuters India and beyond - the world now KNOWS that THIS state elects too many ineffective self-serving politicians. Now the world knows that we fail to enact MINIMAL legislation regarding animals - AND, we the people !
Adam Roberts, executive vice president of Born Free USA says "Around the country, you have a patchwork of state laws where about 21 states have some sort of prohibition on the keeping of exotic animals as pets," Roberts said. "Eight states have a partial ban, where certain species are prohibited, but not others. Thirteen states require permitting or a license scheme, and the other eight states have little or no regulations whatsoever. And Ohio is in the bottom category."
Utah for example: "The state law in Utah is very strict," said Mark Hadley of the Utah Division of Wildlife Resources. "Basically it prohibits people from being able to have wild and dangerous animals in their possession."
In an article titled Lax Ohio laws lead to 'free-for-all' for exotic animals, critics say,
The Christian Science Monitor reports: "The escape of an estimated 56 animals – including lions, tigers, giraffes, camels, and bears – from a Zanesville, Ohio, farm is just the latest and most dramatic in a string of incidents involving exotic pets running wild in the state.
In fact, animal-rights activists tab Ohio as one of the five worst states in the country when it comes to monitoring and regulating exotic animals in residents' backyards, garages, or basements.
"Ohio continues to be a free-for-all for unqualified and inexperienced people keeping dangerous animals," says Debbie Leahy, the captive wildlife regulatory specialist for the Humane Society of the United States."...
In total, the Humane Society documented 22 incidents involving exotic pets in Ohio since 2003, making Ohio one of the top five states for such incidents. They include:
Ohio is one of eight states that doesn't regulate private ownership of animals, according to Humane Society figures. Ms. Leahy says the lack of regulations pose a serious threat to public safety and animal welfare.
Heart-broken Liz from The Nitro Foundation, an organization who's mission is to HELP MAKE ANIMAL CRUELTY A FELONY IN OHIO , called into the show today. She, once again, expressed her outrage and saddens at the lack of legislative leadership here in Ohio..." ...how many more tragedies need to happen for positive change to come to Ohio?" "All across the country now, people are seeing and hearing that Ohio has weakest animal laws in the nation and the law makers don't seem to care...we've also been trying for THREE years to get Nitro's Law passed and it seems that it's always getting stalled in the legislative process" says Tom Siesto also from The Nitro Foundation. Today Liz reminded me of my blog NITRO'S FLAW - If Only Nitro Was A Racetrack... ---how law makers can fast-track bills and accomplish things when it serves THEIR interests.
American's are seething at the constant blame-game excuse making Republicans and Democrats...and as for Ohio... while the world watches, those who usually are fighting for media face time are silent...and we,OHIO remains...THE HEARTBREAK OF IT ALL....FOR ALL THE WORLD TO SEE.
The Zanesville mess is heartbreaking, as is any time any living thing is abused, neglected or killed. You got it right when you wrote if Nitro was a racetrack.......... The only way things are going to change, is when people change them. Let your Ohio Reps know the way things stand is unacceptable,I write and call them weekly. If we don't speak for those who can't, who will speak for us?
The exotic animals in Zanesville almost all of which were killed is such a tragedy that never should have happened. If the pictures alone doesn't change our lawmakers minds I really don't know what will. Ohio really needs to step up and call your lawmakers today because each and every day animals are abused and neglected. WE THE PEOPLE need to let them know how we feel - they work for us. I also want to thank you Louie for writing these articles and for trying to reach out to people to get change. These changes should be for all animals - exotic or not. I have been a strong supporter for Nitro's Law ever since I found out about it. I think a life is much more important than any race track. Thank you
Obviously regulatory laws are desperately needed. Why is it that the people who must own these dangerous animals are such flakes anyways? White trash with their reptiles, black gang bangers with pit bulls, guys like Mike Tyson with tigers (in Southington), sex-change specialist Dr. Perry with his jungle cats (on Ytown's south side). Now this low rent in Zanesville. Pity the animals.
What did I hear about them just burying the animals in a big pit? At the very least the officers that risked their lives tracking and harvesting these beasts should be able to mount them is desired.
Really what they should do is make rugs and coats and sell them at a charity auction to the EVIL 1% for thousands of dollars, and use the proceeds to buy coats and blankets for the poor and homeless.
Would you please share your payment plan that you have with the IRS?
Obviously the SPINdicator.
Day 679, Looie Free still not releasing his payment plan with the IRS and his relationship with the SPINdicator.

text: if you want to use the autotools build, and to help check it against other platforms, run something like: ./autogen.sh ./configure make --enable-mono is a good option for development, it'll build tora faster. if you're using the oracle instant client from the rpm installed directory, configure should find and use it (try --with-instant-client). if configure doesn't find your instant client, pass it's location to configure using the --with-oracle-xxx options. also make sure to set --with-oci-version, since configure won't have a way to find out on it's own. ORACLE_HOME is used properly and configure will find everything it needs from that. after the build, there will be a binary or shell script (depending on your platform) called ./tora. you should be able to run it from there. on linux, you can run gdb right on that binary. on some other platforms, it's easier to use libtool for it. run: libtool --mode=execute gdb ./tora if the configure fails at any point it'll write a lot of information to config.log. i usually search for the last instance of "failed", which should be where configure died. if you don't know what it means, go ahead and email the list or myself... thanks, mike On Mon, 2005-05-02 at 16:44 -0500, Nathan Neulinger wrote: > On Mon, 2005-05-02 at 13:58 -0700, Mike Johnson wrote: > > On Mon, 2005-05-02 at 15:01 -0500, Nathan Neulinger wrote: > > > Seems to me tweaks will be easier if we consolidate down to two ways > > > (configure or mingw makefile) to configure and install instead of 3. > > > > well, the only candidate for removal would seem to be the convenience > > library method. but we get that one for free with automake/libtool... > > the plugin-style build is what i'd really like to get rid of, but it > > does have some real benefits for deployment. it's just not very cross > > platform... > > I was meaning basically to get rid of the hand crafted and perl > makefile/config files. > > I'm inclined to just move forward unless someone raises a significant > objection. > > So how about this: > > Fri May 6th - unless we've heard a "don't do this" - we drop configure, > configure.pl, and make the autoconf build the official primary build. > > We can look at possibly making the ming build use autoconf later, but > for now, I'd say we keep using the Makefile.mingw hand edited file. > > It would make sense for us to try and update the spec files, and other > build scripts - cause the change to autoconf will impact packagers.... > > -- Nathan > > ------------------------------------------------------------ > Nathan Neulinger EMail: nneul@... > University of Missouri - Rolla Phone: (573) 341-6679 > UMR Information Technology Fax: (573) 341-4216

Hi entelechy,
It seems to me that you would need more information about what your partner and his in-town lover have agreed on as far as what they will or won't share with each other. Whatever their level of disclosure is to each other, I think that
need a greater amount of disclosure from
Maybe it's not what he wants, but it's what you want. You'll need to start looking for some kind of area of compromise.
If his in-town lover truly doesn't want to know about his other relationships, then that is her preference and right. Don't press the issue if that's their agreement, but first you need to know whether it
their agreement. In other words, you need him to tell you more about what's going on with her. Then you'll have a better understanding about where you stand, and what the dilemma before you really looks like. Right now you just have some vague information that she "trusts" him, without any idea of what she trusts him to do or not do. You need to find out. You need details.
He seems to want to compartmentalize his relationships as much as possible, so I wouldn't be surprised if he resists your efforts to find out more. He seems to be very "Don't Ask, Don't Tell." You are an open book. You need him to open his book a little (a lot?) more. Seek a time and opportunity to bring this up with him.
Depending on how willing he is to work with you on opening up the disclosure channels, you may have a decision to make as to whether this is the level of communication you can live with and be happy with for the long haul. If all this "mystery relationships" (He has a relationship with her, but I don't know what kind of relationship, and he won't say) gets to be too much, then for your own sanity you should consider cutting your losses and letting him go.
On the other hand, maybe he'll start opening up more about that in-town relationship, and if he does, that's great. To me, the current level of DADT is probably unhealthy. But I'm not close enough to the situation to know. I don't know what his reasons, rationalizations, and justifications are.
For some people, DADT seems to work. But I don't think it's working so well for you. Just my opinion based on what is presented.
I hope you will be able to come to an amicable solution.
Kevin T.
Love means never having to say, "Put down that meat cleaver!"

Is Guilt Getting the Best of You?
Does your guilty conscience follow your every move, making you wonder how you could have done something more or better -- for your partner, your kids, your community, or your career? Where does such crippling guilt come from? What toll does it take on you? And, most importantly, how can you shake it? Keep reading to find out. And don't feel too guilty about taking the time for yourself to do so.
Clearly, the spectrum of guilt that burdens folks runs the gamut. "Some people don't have the positive guilt that keeps you on the straight and narrow. Others have guilt that eats away at their soul; they rarely have a moment of peace," says Michael McKee, PhD, vice chairman of The Cleveland Clinic's psychiatry and psychology department.
Recommended Related to Mind, Body, Spirit
By Jared Miller Society expects adults to show a certain amount of maturity and responsibility, and most of us tend to fall in line. We tell ourselves that there's no time for play -- we've got work to do. Lots and lots of work. Entire email threads of it, in fact -- and more coming in every minute. We know: Acting like a responsible adult day in and day out can be very stressful. So regardless of how long it's been since you last took a well-deserved day off, we're thinking that now's the perfect...
Read the Make Time for Play article > >
Why do some people let guilt tear them apart inside? Personality is partly to blame, say the experts.
"Timid, insecure individuals may be victims of excessive guilt and constant 'second guessing' of themselves and their actions," says Patricia Farrell, PhD, clinical psychologist and author of How to be Your Own Therapist, A Step-by-Step Guide to Building a Competent, Confident Life.
"People with an obsessive-compulsive or obsessive-personality disorder or with these traits in their personalities are also prone to excessive ruminating about their actions and driving up their guilt quotient," she adds.
Social Forces Behind Guilt
While personality can predispose people to guilt, social expectations play a part, too.
From an early age, both males and females receive strong signals about "gender-specific" expectations that, when not fulfilled, can provoke guilt.
"Women build self-esteem through relationships," explains Mary Ann Bauman, MD, director of Women's Health for INTEGRIS, a nonprofit health system in Oklahoma. She is also author of Fight Fatigue: Six Simple Steps to Maximize Your Energy. "As women, we have to make sure no one thinks we're being selfish," Bauman says.
The result? "It causes us to absolutely overextend ourselves," she tells WebMD.
Men and Guilt
Men, on the other hand, grow up with a different set of expectations. "Men learn to build self-esteem through their accomplishments," Bauman says. So a man who doesn't become the athlete or the scholar that he, or his parents, expected him to be is often plagued by guilt. That's particularly true for children who, even as adults, live to please their parents.
