Discussion in 'Volunteer Glockers' started by obxemt, Dec 27, 2007.
What shops can you recommend that are between Nashville and Chattanooga?
You may want to ask these guys:
EXCELLENT. Thanks for that site. The TN section here doesn't seem to get much traffic!
Be prepared for some serious anti-Glock rhetoric.
That's ok, I hate Glocks. The factory sights suck and the grip angle is of the devil and they might actually fit an alien hand of some sort. But, I've trusted my life to them on-duty and off for almost 8 years now without question.
Craigs Firearms south of Knoxville caters to LE and are the regions authorized Glock dealer.
And I like glocks! You all lay off!
Boy, were you right. The anti-police rhetoric is strong as well.
Akita, I still want your Oly 9mm--my Colt A2 is too expen$ive to shoot.
obxemt--haven't noticed that much anit-leo rhetoric over there lately, but I'll watch for it a little more. btw, I am deerslayer on that board.
Sorry, not gonna happen, armed. My nephew gets a woodie everytime he sees it so he gets first dibs when I croak. There was more than one of those made ya know.....
A 9mm AR is in the near future, just not sure which one. I love the Glock mag compatible Oly, but kinda prefer a flattop. I may just pick the A2 Oly and say to hell w/ Eotech.
While not ideal, you can get a mount for the handle and mount the Eo there.
And since it is a 9mm, theres no real distance shooting, so the point of aim is probably still good to go. Using those 18r Glock mags helped me make my decision to get this playthang.
LaVergne - Specialty Arms II
Murfreesboro - On Target
I don't know anything about Manchester, but there is an excellent Army surplus store at Monteagle if you are into that.
Going east....
Mt. Juliet - Reloaders Bench (has a sister store in Joelton, I-24 exit)
Cookeville - Tenn Tac not alot of guns, but some accessories
Kingston - Frontier Firearms excellent shop...one minute off I-40, huge inventory
Careful with Frontier. He comes across with me like a used car salesman. If it isnt a posted price, he'll size you up and charge you as much as he thinks he can get away with. He tried that on me once at a gunshow and I've never looked at his stuff again. Sure, thats American Capitalism at work, but if I want that, I'll go to Tiajuana.
I dont buy from people like that at ANY price.
Also Coal Creek Armory in W. Knoxville, but that is quite a ways to travel. They really specialize in AR's and SIGs. I bought my Springy XD .40 there when I really was looking for a G27.
I like Glocks...just wouldn't buy one...anyone care to donate theirs? JUST KIDDING!!!!
Who did you deal with at Frontier? I never dealt with the owner or his wife, but the hired help. They always did me right. Good point, however, on being sized up for what you are willing to pay, which could happen anywhere. I've played dumb more than once, and when I had enough BS, essentially squashed everything the dealer told me. They will usually realize they've been caught at the game and just walk away......they ain't selling, and I ain't buying.
Brent/the owner at a gunshow. He knew he'd been caught too- like you said.
Oh, I also refuse to buy from Coal Creek anymore after they refused to sell me a box of 45 ammo if I wouldnt give them my address. And the manager and owner know me well there-for years.
Maybe I'm just too particular and hard to deal with. sigh.
Hmmm. Maybe it just doesn't phase me. CCA has had my address since I bought my pistol in 2006, shot at the range, purchased ammo and had my night sights installed.
I've dealt mostly with Tony and he has always been cool to deal with.
I see no reason to require an address of someone who is simply trying to buy ammo.
EXACTLY, for both of your posts. They have me 4 ways to sunday on paper there for firearms purchases & range use, I have assisted in department tradeins, and I am personally known by higherups and recognized as a regular by some/many of the peons. I've been 'with' them since they first started in the Oak Ridge location.
It was an idiot thing to do. I had already told Trevor (the #2 guy after Jon the owner) that I would be over to see him about ordering 1k of Double Tap and I instead ended up ordering it from another dealer when Trevor backed up the store policy.
(insert shaking head smiley here)
(isnt Tony the one with the beard? thats the guy who was insistent)
I'm not that proud. If the price is right, I might even let them treat me like crap.
It has always been amusing to me, though, how my treatment changes based on what I'm wearing and how much facial hair I have. When I'm all disheveled and poor looking and they treat me like a king, I'm more inclined to drop money.

text: The much-delayed first housing tower at Forest City Ratner's controversial Atlantic Yards complex in Brooklyn, where half the 363 units have long been promised for "affordable housing," seems poised to get millions in city housing bonds. While this 32-story building—on which Forest City aims to break ground this fall—would broad-ly meet the pledge the developer signed with housing advocacy group ACORN to ensure that 50 percent of the rentals be subsidized, it otherwise diverges from that promise. Not only would it contain far fewer family-sized units than pledged, those two-bedroom, two-bath units will be disproportionately geared to middle-class families, not low-income ones, with rents more than $2,700 a month. It also differs from what city housing officials aim for in mixed-income affordable housing financing, as well as what Forest City proposed in previous underwriting submissions to housing officials.

Welcome to my ArtID homepage

My joy is in painting portraits and the human figure, using the vibrancy of watercolor to depict a personality, a moment in time, or a person__™s characteristics. The painting comes alive by placing colors in an impressionistic manner upon their portrait. In my paintings I hope that each day you discover something new, just as you get to know a person you discover something new. It is my hope that you will enjoy art and perhaps a painting of yourself or a loved one.

How is your LO when they wake up in the morning:
What mood are they in?
Do they cry when awake or just hear him/her talking?
Do they play in crib/playpen/bed.... once they wake or do they want out immediately?
Re: Wake-up
He's usually in a great mood when he first wakes up! He climbs out of his bed and comes to get me and says "hi!"
Re: Wake-up
He always wakes up happy and will play and roll around for a long time so I usually don't hurry to get him.
Re: Wake-up
Lew wakes up seeming happy. If you get him up immediately, though, he is a crab! He needs 15-20 minutes of awake time in his crib to wake up completely. I think of it as his "snooze" time. If I give him that time, he is all smiles and giggles.
Re: Wake-up
He's in a good mood. He likes to chill & collect his thoughts I guess for 15 min or so after waking, so we don't go right in to get him.
Re: Wake-up
What mood are they in? He wakes up at 5:30 and used to start screaming/crying right away, he's getting a little better at just calling me for a few minutes before crying. I then bring him in bed with me so the next time he wakes up is with me. He's usually better but sometimes will still cry or whine about his pillow or wanting milk.
Re: Wake-up
She's happy as a clam in the morning as long as you get her out of the crib ASAP.
After naps she's a crabhead. Usually wants to be held awhile while she wakes up
Re: Wake-up
Eli will nurse and cuddle sleepily for about 15 minutes, before happily taking on the day
Re: Wake-up
She usually wakes up happy and playing in her bed. But we're in a different living situation now and so she's been sleeping with me. She wakes up and wants me to get up immediately. I just give her her monkey or baby and let her play in bed for a little while.

During the forties, in addition to regular visits by Presland's Travelling Fair, on at least one occasion Laindon enjoyed the spectacle of a circus.
I was recently told a story of an incident that occurred involving a knife throwing act. It's unknown exactly where the 'big top' had been erected in Laindon, but during a knife throwing act, the lady assistant was hit in the leg by a knife and rushed to hospital. Apparently there was 'blood everywhere'. The incident was reported in the press. The Knife Thrower was Hal Denver and the incident happened in 1948.
The National Fairground Archive.
"Reproduced with permission of the University of Sheffield"
1948 - Knife thrower's wife wounded in leg
Three thousand spectators at a circus at Laindon, Essex, gasped with horror when a knife thrown by Hal Denver, who was blindfolded, struck his wife in the right leg and made a deep gash in it.
The woman was taken to hospital, where the wound was stitched.
She returned to the circus with the leg bandaged and told some of the other performers that she would not let the accident unnerve her.
The link to this article is as follows:- http://trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/22687135
I'm sure we would be most interested to hear from anyone who happened to be at that performance and anything they can remember about it.
Hal Denver and his assistant holding their knives. The National Fairground Archive.
For anyone interested in further information about Hal Denver, I attach the following link:- http://www.independent.co.uk/news/people/obituary-hal-denver-1384050.html
At a rough guess I would imagine the big top would have been placed on the field at the back of the Laindon Hotel. I could never see the purpose of the knife thrower being blindfolded and clearly although it made for crowd pulling it was highly dangerous. Lucky then that Hal wasn't made to face Ella judging by the size of her axes. Thanks for this Nina a really great find.
I have no memory of this incident. What I do remember is that, whenever the fair visited Laindon, they were always located in a field at the bottom of Denbigh Road. There must have been other locations available but I cannot remember them anywhere else. This location did have the advantage of being centrally located for their clientele and, being located perhaps a hundred yards from the High Road, made set up and packing up of the fair easier. Perhaps those were the reason for the choice of this particular location.

Hey Scamp, do you have a MAL account? I'm curious as to what these new "youtube generation" fans are into these days.
I had always seen myself as the latest generations of anime fans. Not an incorrect assumption either. I only started watching anime mid-2007. The Youtube Generation was symbolised by the ever-present and easy access of every and any anime thanks to the rampant presence of illegal streams, normally on Youtube (in fact, you could look at the progress of the Youtube generation through which streaming sites they used. Youtube to Veoh to Megavideo to what next?) You could also call it the MAL generation in how the focus changed from a small amount of anime being precious to focusing on consuming as much anime as possible. But, more importantly for the purpose of this post, it was the latest generation. This meant that everything that is, always was. A description of a show remained the same. Fan opinion of certain anime remained the same, because that's what they were always like in my memory of fandom. However it appears the next generation has arrived.
The realisation only dawned on me yesterday but the signs had been there already. Azumanga Daoih being considered a classic? I mean, it's not like I was around when that aired but certainly I had never seen anyone refer to it as a classic before. Or seeing Hellsing mentioned as a newer anime fan as something old and ugly looking. I suppose it is 9 years old now and I guess looks a little bit dated compared to the most recent anime, but really?
It goes beyond just certain anime aging in the eyes of fandom. Other anime are being spoken about in different ways. When people discuss the long-running shounens, nobody seems to list Inuyasha anymore, far more often referred to as a show with crazy fangirls. Elfen Lied was one of the most opinion-splitting anime and would prompt rage discussions between admirers and haters. Now bring it up in conversation and you're far more likely to get intelligent discussion, or at the very least some mentioning of the shock factor of the first 10 minutes. When listing out the all-time great anime, I just don't see the Kenshin Trust and Betrayal OVA mentioned anymore . It's not like people have stopped liking it as much. Conversely I see Galactic Heroes talked about far more often. I used to believe that there was a certain amount of contempt reserved for Samurai Champloo but now it appears to be remembered more fondly.
It's hard to talk with any sort of full authority here because sometimes your mind can be warped by what only a few comments say, but fan opinion has certainly changed. I am no longer the latest generation of anime fans. Everything I believed to be true is no longer so. There is a new generation with a different perception to everything I once held. This doesn't mean I'm disenchanted or anything like that. It was just a shock when I had realised what had happened.
When I mentioned this dramatic change in my identity as an anime fan on twitter, I got responses that essentially said 'been there, done that'. I'm sure that many of you reading this post have been any fans longer than me, long since having passed this stage in anime fandom and all I'm doing is making you feel old. But screw you guys. This is a big deal for me.

It was age and illness, not the free voice of the Cuban people, that finally led Fidel Castro to announce ... that he is stepping down as Cuba's president after a mere 49 years of absolute power. Mr. Castro's immediate successor is likely to be his 76-year-old younger brother Raul. Still, the post-Fidel era is clearly at hand, and the Bush administration has done almost nothing to prepare for it.
Cuba is a closed, repressive society. But the administration has gone out of its way to ensure that it has no chance of influencing events there. In the name of tightening the failed embargo, it has made it much harder for academics, artists and religious people to travel to Cuba and spread the good word about democracy, and much harder for Cubans to visit here. Rather than probing the ongoing political transition, the White House has dismissed it in advance as insignificant.
A policy that made little sense in the cold war makes still less in today's age of globalization when America does not hesitate to trade with and invest in other repressive countries (China, for example), recognizing that commerce is more likely than isolation to nurture positive political change.
The embargo provided Mr. Castro with a built-in excuse for his own failed economic policies and ruthless political repression. It made it easier for him to wall ordinary Cubans off from American friendships, political ideas and affluent lifestyles. It handed him a propaganda tool to discredit courageous Cubans who openly campaigned for greater democracy. Continuing this policy of isolation will only make it easier for whoever succeeds Mr. Castro to continue the same repressive policies.
For millions of Cubans, the wait for Mr. Castro to go has been almost interminable. Now that he is finally stepping down, Washington needs to do all it can to help encourage a peaceful transition to democracy. It needs to shake off its own ghosts and start talking directly with Cuban politicians and the Cuban people.

I think you know by now I am a vino aficionado, so I dedicate this simple pleasures post to little ways in which it elevates my weekly routine. Matt and I just had lunch on Polk Street, and I saw a wine shop I used to go to all the time when I lived closer to Russian Hill. I used to buy this bottle ALL the time – and what led me to it was it's beautiful branding. Not a shock, huh? I use to sip this with girlfriends on a weekly basis, so I was thrilled to bring home a bottle and relive those memories. The cashier suggested I buy a bottle of rosé as well, so I did – not a hard sell here, haha. I always reach for the lighter shade rosé… I like it a little crisper and refreshing. The lighter, the better. Starting strong with reason No.01 why wine is the best – it brings back memories, and it helps create new ones. // Red Blend: Alvaro Palacios Camins del Priorat 2014 and Rosé: Farmstrong Field Rosé // both $20!
Wine brings people together. It's unbelievably enjoyable to catch up with friends and relish in the vibes of treating oneself while sipping on something delicious. There's not much better than rosé on a warm spring day with great views and company. Plus ordering fondue to pair with it is a plus as well. // If you're a local in SF – Union Larder is so much fun for a glass after work or on a weekend before dinner!
Visiting a new winery and learning about how they make their wine, touring the property, and hearing about how it all began is inspiring. Sitting outside at a picnic table and doing a tasting is one of my absolute favorite things to do on warm weekends. No matter where you are, who you're with, or what you're doing… adding a glass of wine in the mix is the best.
I hope you're enjoying your Thursday – cheers! x


text: Amazingly, I was able to get up early today (first time) and meet N. to go for a walk. We bought some clementines at Monoprix (yummy sweet) and some special tea at Mariage Freres, a limited only in the fall tea. We looked at lots of stuff and chatted as we headed to check out BHV Homme ...the new men's store. Chuck and I had been there on Saturday when it was SO crowded we couldn't see anything. Today, it was empty. Amazing men's wear and accessories. D. met up with us, just by chance, after a few bises, I headed off to see if our friends, S and W had arrived at their hotel. No, they hadn't so I left a note for them. Stopping at the bakery I like for a baguette, I hurried "home." More on this in the next post. But, here are two images I wanted to share from yesterday. A photo of the map that Chuck took , showing us where the punk squat was located. and part of a tomb at Pere Lachaise. I hope you can see the guys are wearing diving suits.

Accountants and other professions will be given legal professional privilege if they work in partnership with lawyers under the terms of the Legal Services Bill.
The shock news is one of the few major changes announced on Friday 24 November to the draft legislation which was originally published in May this year. It follows scrutiny to the draft bill by a joint committee of Parliament.
Announcing the new legislation at a press conference on Friday, the Lord Chancellor Lord Falconer described the bill as "reform with a vision: to put people first".
Falconer said the Government's aim had always been to create a legal services environment that would benefit consumers.
He admitted that the changes caused by the bill could put some smaller firms out of business. "It's difficult to predict what the effect will be. It could make some firms less profitable than they otherwise might be," said Falconer, adding that firms have a choice about taking up opportunities offered by the bill.
The major clauses of the draft legislation have been maintained, with the bill providing for the establishment of an oversight regulator in the guise of the Legal Services Board (LSB), a single complaints-handling body called the Office for Legal Complaints, and also allowing alternative business structures (ABSs).
The current frontline regulators, including the Law Society and Bar Council, will be approved as regulators under the new system automatically. Frontline regulators will have to apply to the LSB for permission to regulate ABSs.
The LSB is to be made up of a chairman, a chief executive and between seven and 10 other members. It will have to have a lay majority.
Despite concerns raised by the joint committee about the independence of the legal profession, all board members except the chief executive will be appointed by the Lord Chancellor.
Falconer said the selection process is similar to that of other regulatory authorities such as the Financial Services Authority, where members are chosen by the Chancellor of the Exchequer, and that it would not hinder the profession's independence.
The costs of the new system and transition costs will all be borne by the legal profession.
The bill had its first reading in the House of Lords on Thursday 23 November. It is expected to receive Royal Assent next summer. It will take up to 18 months after that for the new system to be implemented.

Pain is not a punishment; pleasure is not a reward.
As we practice, we begin to know the difference between our fantasy and reality.
It isn't the things that are happening to us that cause us to suffer; it's what we say to ourselves about the things that are happening.
Meditation practice isn't about trying to throw ourselves away or become something better. It's about befriending who we are already.
We can drop the fundamental hope that there is a better "me" who one day will emerge. We can't just jump over ourselves as if we were not there.
It's also helpful to realize that this very body that we have, that's sitting right here right now… with its aches and it pleasures… is exactly what we need to be fully human, fully awake, and fully alive.
When you begin to touch your heart or let your heart be touched, you begin to discover that it's bottomless, that it doesn't have any resolution, that this heart is huge, vast, and limitless. You begin to discover how much warmth and gentleness is there, as well as how much space.
Birth: Pema Chodron was born Deirdre Blomfield-Brown in 1936, in New York City
Realization: While in her mid-thirties, Pema Chodron traveled to the French Alps and encountered Lama Chime Rinpoche, with whom she studied for several years and it was with him that she ultimately made her most profound connection,. She became a novice nun in 1974.
Death: Alive.
Teaching Style: A prolific author, Pema Chodron has conducted workshops, seminars, and meditation retreats in Europe, Australia, and throughout North America. She is resident teacher of Gampo Abbey, a monastery in rural Cape Breton, Nova Scotia, Canada. In recent years, she has spent the summers teaching on the Guide to the Bodhisattva's Way of Life in Berkeley. Pema was appointed by Sakyong Mipham Rinpoche as "acharya" (senior teacher) in California. She taught as an elementary school teacher for many years
Fame: Pema Chodron is an ordained Buddhist nun in the Tibetan vajrayana tradition, and a teacher in the lineage of Chogyam Trungpa. The goal of her work is the ability to apply Buddhist teachings in everyday life.Pema Chodron is a leading exponent of teachings on meditation and how they apply to everyday life. She is widely known for her charming and down-to-earth interpretation of Tibetan Buddhism for Western audiences. Pema is the resident teacher at Gampo Abbey, Cape Breton, Nova Scotia, the first Tibetan monastery for Westerners and has authored several books, including: The Wisdom of No Escape, Start Where You Are, When Things Fall Apart: Heart Advice for Difficult Times and The Places That Scare You and No Time to Lose.
Legacy: Pema Chodron took Chogyam Trungpa Rinpoche as her root guru at the urging of Lama Chime Rinpoche. While studying with Lama Chime in London his Holiness the Sixteenth Karmapa came to England at that time, and Pema Chodron received her ordination from him.
Pema Chodron is a leading exponent of teachings on meditation and how they apply to everyday life.
She told that "Meditation isn't really about getting rid of thoughts; it's about changing the pattern of grasping on to things, which in our everyday experience is our thoughts. To begin with, just give up any expectations of yourself. That's a simple good instruction for how to do Buddhist meditation."
According to Pema Chodron "Setting boundaries, good boundaries —the intention of that— is to allow for communication to happen. And, barriers are shutting down communication."
She told that "As long as our orientation is toward perfection or success, we will never learn about unconditional friendship with ourselves, nor will we find compassion."
She told about laziness that "Rather than feeling discouraged by laziness, we could get to know laziness profoundly. This very moment of laziness becomes our personal teacher."
According to Pema Chodron, we might think that knowing ourselves is a very ego-centered thing, but by beginning to look clearly and honestly at ourselves, we begin to dissolve the walls that separate us from others.
Her most straightforward advice on how to discover your true nature is " practice not causing harm to anyone—neither yourself nor others—and every day, do what you can to help."
According to Pema Chodron, love and compassion are like the weak spots in the walls of ego. If we connect with even one moment of the good heart of bodhicitta and cherish it, our ability to open will gradually expand.

French President Hollande congratulates Rutte after Dutch election
PARIS (Reuters) – Outgoing French President Francois Hollande on Thursday congratulated the Netherlands' centre-right Prime Minister Mark Rutte, saying that Rutte's likely election win was a victory against extremism.
"The President of the Republic warmly congratulates Mark Rutte for his clear victory against extremism," Hollande said in a statement issued by his office.
Rutte's victory may help to ease concerns in mainstream French political circles over the popularity of France's far-right National Front leader Marine Le Pen, with France's presidential election due in April and May.
Current opinion polls show Le Pen winning the first round of the election in April, but then losing a decisive second round vote in May to either centrist candidate Emmanuel Macron or conservative candidate Francois Fillon.

1. Field of the Invention
The present invention relates to data-processing. More particularly, the invention relates to configuring browser settings.
2. Background of the Related Art
Computer networks were developed to allow multiple computers to communicate with each other. In general, a network can include a combination of hardware and software that cooperate to facilitate the desired communications. One example of a computer network is the Internet, a sophisticated worldwide network of computer system resources.
Networks, such as the Internet, require a network browser to enable navigation between network addresses. A browser is an application program or facility that normally resides on a user's workstation and which is invoked when the user decides to access network addresses. A prior art Internet browser program typically accesses a given network address according to an addressing format known as a uniform resource locator (URL). The browser also processes each type of data which is presented to it, and forwards and receives data to and from the network. State-of-the-art browsers provide a complete multimedia experience, including video, pictures, 3-D images, sounds and the like.
In addition, browsers provide useful features that facilitate management of the voluminous information encountered by users while browsing. For example, most commercially available Internet browsers (e.g., Netscape's Navigator� and Windows' Explorer�) provide a history folder containing recently visited network addresses (e.g., web sites) and a bookmark folder to which a user can store network addresses for future retrieval.
In order to accommodate the particular preferences of multiple users, some aspects of browsers are customizable. For example, browsers often include one or more toolbars, e.g., personal toolbars which are configurable by the user. Other configurable features include the colors, fonts, display attributes and the like.
The user may configure different browser tool bars and settings to accomplish different tasks. For example, a user may configure a toolbar to display frequently used features such as a "print" button or "email" button and the like. Browsers may also be configured to allow the user to start with a particular default network address (i.e., homepage). These and other configurable settings and features are well known within browsing technology.
In some applications, it is necessary to reconfigure the browser settings numerous times within a given time interval (e.g., in a day). Consider the case where college students are using specific browser settings for a first period French class and different browser settings for a second period Algebra class. For example, the students of the Algebra class may prefer a homepage setting (e.g., www.algebra.com) related to Algebra while the French students prefer a homepage setting related to French (e.g., www.French.com). Because the application of the browser is substantially different, the browser must be manually configured for each class. Currently, the only method or system available to remedy this condition is for each student to manually reconfigure the browser for each class homepage. One option is to use an "options" disk containing user-specific configuration information. Another conventional solution is to cause reconfigurations to occur in response to login information.
However, such options are undesirable because of the possibility for errors in attempting to synchronize some or all of the browser settings and related information and the loss in productivity during the initial configuration process. Therefore, it is desirable to provide time-based browser configuration to suit a particular event environment in a convenient and configurable manner.
The present invention generally provides a method, article of manufacture and apparatus for establishing time-based browser configurations. In one aspect of the invention, a method is provided for configuring browser settings for a browser program executable on a computer connected to a network of computers, wherein the browser program is configurable according to at least two browser settings, the method comprising configuring the browser program with at least one of the at least two browser settings when a time-value condition is satisfied.
In another aspect of the invention, a signal-bearing media containing a program is provided for configuring browser settings for a browser program executable on a computer connected to a network of computers, wherein the browser program is configurable according to at least two browser settings, the configuration program when executed by a processor, performs a method, comprising configuring the browser program with one or more of the at least two browser settings when a time-value condition is satisfied.
Yet another aspect of the present invention includes a computer system connected to a network of computers, the computer system comprising a processor and a memory containing a browser and at least two browser configuration settings; and a program which, when executed the computer is configured to perform the steps comprising configuring the browser program with at least one or more of at least two browser configuration settings when a time-value condition is satisfied.
So that the manner in which the above recited features, advantages and objects of the present invention are attained and can be understood in detail, a more particular description of the invention, briefly summarized above, may be had by reference to the embodiments thereof which are illustrated in the appended drawings.
It is to be noted, however, that the appended drawings illustrate only typical embodiments of this invention and are therefore not to be considered limiting of its scope, for the invention may admit to other equally effective embodiments.
The present invention generally provides a method, article of manufacture and apparatus for establishing time-based browser configurations. As will be described below, aspects of the preferred embodiment pertain to specific method steps implementable on computer systems.
In one embodiment, the invention may be implemented as a computer program-product for use with a computer system. The programs defining the functions of the preferred embodiment can be provided to a computer via a variety of signal-bearing media, which include but are not limited to, (i) information permanently stored on non-writable storage media (e.g., read-only memory devices within a computer such as read only CD-ROM disks readable by a CD-ROM or DVD drive; (ii) alterable information stored on a writable storage media (e.g., floppy disks within diskette drive or hard-disk drive); or (iii) information conveyed to a computer by communications medium, such as through a computer or telephone network, including wireless communication. Such signal-bearing media, when carrying computer-readable instructions that direct the functions of the present invention, represent alternative embodiments of the present invention. It may also be noted that portions of the product program may be developed and implemented independently, but when combined together are embodiments of the present invention.
The client computer 122 includes a Central Processing Unit (CPU) 128 connected via a bus 130 to a memory 132, storage 134, input device 136, and output device 138. The input device 136 can be any device to give input to the client computer 122. For example, a keyboard, keypad, light-pen, touch-screen, track-ball, or speech recognition unit, audio/video player, and the like could be used. The output device 138 is preferably any conventional display screen and, although shown separately from the input device 136, the output device 138 and input device 136 could be combined. For example, a display screen with an integrated touch-screen, and a display with an integrated keyboard, or a speech recognition unit combined with a text speech converter could be used.
Memory 132 is preferably random access memory sufficiently large to hold the necessary programming and data structures of the invention. While memory 132 is shown as a single entity, it should be understood that memory 132 may in fact comprise a plurality of modules, and that memory 132 may exist at multiple levels, from high speed registers and caches to lower speed but larger DRAM chips. Memory 132 contains a browser program 140 that, when executed on CPU 128, provides support for navigating between the various servers 124 and locating network addresses at one or more of the servers 124. In one embodiment, the browser program 140 is a web-based Graphical User Interface (GUI), which allows the user to display web pages located on the Internet. Memory 132 also contains a browser configuration program 141 that, when executed on CPU 128, provides support for configuring the browser program settings (e.g., tool bars, homepage, bookmarks, and the like). The browser configuration program 141 can be separate from, or integral to the browser program 140.
Memory 132 also comprises various data structures 139 used by the browser program 140 and browser configuration program 141. Illustratively, memory 132 is shown containing a homepage network address data structure 139A, a bookmark data structure 139B, a toolbar configurations data structure 139C, and a visited network address data structure 139D.
Storage 134 is preferably a Direct Access Storage Device (DASD), although it is shown as a single unit, it could be a combination of fixed and/or removable storage devices, such as fixed disc drives, floppy disc drives, tape drives, removable memory cards, or optical storage. Memory 132 and storage 134 could be part of one virtual address space spanning multiple primary and secondary storage devices.
Each server computer 124 generally comprises a CPU 142, a memory 144, and a storage device 147, coupled to one another by a bus 148. Memory 144 is a random access memory sufficiently large to hold the necessary programming and data structures that are located on the server computer 124. As shown, the memory 144 includes a Hypertext Transfer Protocol (http) server process 145 adapted to service requests from the client computer 122. For example, process 145 may respond to requests to access electronic documents 146 (e.g., HTML documents) residing on the server 124. The http server process 145 is merely illustrative and other embodiments adapted to support any known and unknown protocols are contemplated. The programming and data structures may be accessed and executed by the CPU 142 as needed during operation.
A menu toolbar 210 incorporates user file manipulation selections and browser setting selections such as "file" 211, "edit" 213, "view" 216, and the like. A navigation toolbar 215 includes features typically used for navigation such as a "back" button 256 and "forward" button 258 to move backward or forward one or more network addresses previously visited, a "favorites" button 259 to more quickly access specific network addresses, a "home" button 255 to access the homepage network address, and the like. Address toolbar 220 includes an address entry window 221 for entering network addresses to be located and browsed.
User-configurable toolbar 225 incorporates custom browser settings and features. For example, a link to "www.French.com" 226 may be placed on the user configurable toolbar 225 to allow the user convenient access to that network address. Settings for the user-configurable toolbar 225 are stored in data structure 139C (shown in
As illustrated in
At step 725, method 700 retrieves a homepage data record from data structure 139A associated with the current day and time of day and configures the browser program 140 to the homepage data record. One embodiment of a method 800 for configuring the browser program 140 to a homepage data record is illustrated below with reference to
At step 730, method 700 retrieves a toolbar data record from data structure 139C associated with the current day and time of day. Subsequently, method 700 configures the browser program 140 to the toolbar data record.
At step 735, method 700 receives browser program events. At step 740, method 700 determines whether the event is for displaying bookmark data. For example, a user selects the "display bookmarks" selection 274. If the event is not displaying bookmark data, then method 700 proceeds to step 750 described below. If the event is displaying bookmarks, then method 700 proceeds to step 745 to display bookmarks available from bookmark data structure 139B associated with the current day and time of day.
At step 750, method 700 determines whether the event is for rendering a page (e.g., web page). If the event is not to render a page, then method 700 proceeds to step 760 described below. If the event is to render a page, then method 700 proceeds to step 755 to render the page.
At step 760, method 700 determines if the event is to configure the browser to the appropriate settings for the current day and time of day. If not, then method 700 proceeds to step 765 to handle other events. If so, the browser proceeds to step 762 described below. At step 762, method 700 issues a query to the user via output device 138 asking if the current settings are correct (e.g., a query window). At step 766, if the user answers the query affirmatively, method 700 proceeds to step 735 to wait for the next event. If the user indicates that the settings are not correct, or if the user does not respond within a predetermined length of time, method 700 proceeds to step 715 to reconfigure the browser program to the settings associated with the current day and time of day. Thus, method 700 allows a user to maintain the current periodic browser settings even if the periodic interval has elapsed.
For example, assume method 700 is set to reconfigure the browser program 140 for a first period French class at 7:00 AM and reconfigure the browser settings for a second period Algebra class at 8:00 AM. Consider now, a first period French student who decides to continue using the browser program settings beyond the French class period, until the second period Algebra student arrives. Thus, at the start of the Algebra class at 8:00 AM, the French student continues to use the browser program settings associated with the French Class. At 8:00 AM, a configuration event is provided. At step 760, method 700 determines the event is a reconfiguration and proceeds to step 762. At step 762, method 700 issues a query via output device 138 to the French student asking if the current settings are valid. At step 766, the French student can answer affirmatively (e.g., "yes") and continue using the French class settings. If so, method 700 then proceeds to step 735 to wait for the next event. If not, method 700 proceeds to step 715 to configure the settings for the Algebra class. If the French student does not answer the query at step 766 within a predetermined length of time, method 700 proceeds to step 715 to configure the settings for the Algebra class.
If the French student keeps the settings until the Algebra student arrives, the browser program 140 may be reconfigured to the Algebra class settings, either by a user-issued command, or by method 700 when a predetermined period of inactivity has elapsed.
In one embodiment, when the current settings being used differ from what the current period specifies, the program 141 prompts the user after a predetermined length of time to check if the current settings are still valid. If so, the program waits to prompt the user. If not, the method 700 configures the settings associated with the current period. For example, while the French student is using the French settings during the Algebra period, method 700 will periodically query the French student to verify that the current settings are valid.
At step 1020, method 1000 determines whether the current day, and time of day, is within the bookmark record time-range, and day, acquired from step 1010. If the bookmark record does not match the day, and time of day, then method 1000 proceeds to step 1010 to read the next bookmark data record. Method 1000 loops between step 1010 and 1020 until all matching bookmark data records are found, or until all bookmark data records are read. During each loop, if method 1000 determines that a matching bookmark data record is found, method 1000 proceeds to step 1030. At step 1030, method 1000 configures the browser to allow the user access to the bookmark data record (e.g., displaying the bookmarks in window 262) and returns to step 1010 to read the next data record. After all of the bookmark data records have been read, method 1000 exits to step 745.
At step 1120, method 1100 receives the HTML information from the current network address electronic document 146 containing links to other network addresses. Method 1100 proceeds to step 1125 and acquires a visited data record from data structure 139D. At step 1130, method 1100 determines whether the visited data record matches the current day, and time of day. If not, method 1100 proceeds to step 1125. If a matching record is found method 700 proceeds to step 1135 to determine whether or not the visited data record matches a network address link obtained from step 1120. If not, method 1100 proceeds to step 1120 to obtain another link. If so, method 700 proceeds to step 1140 and marks the network address as visited and then returns to step 1120. Method 1100 loops between steps 1120 and 1140 until all of the network addresses matching the day and time of day have been compared to the visited list at step 1135 and marked at step 1140. At step 1125, after all of the visited data records are read, the method proceeds to step 1145 and renders the electronic document 146 to the user with the previously visited network addresses marked as "visited."
Although various embodiments which incorporate the teachings of the present invention have been shown and described in detail herein, those skilled in the art can readily devise many other varied embodiments within the scope of the present invention. For example, the present invention has been primarily described within the context of time-based browser configurations, established from methods 700–1100 for a specified periods of time such as a day and time of day. In one embodiment, the time-interval may be any interval of time.
In another embodiment, method 700 allows for manual reconfiguration to any period. For example, the Algebra student wishes to use the Algebra settings at other times. Consider then case where an Algebra student has an 8:00 AM class but decides to do extra credit work at 11:00 PM. When the Algebra student arrives at 11:00 PM, assume the current browser settings for 11:00 PM are set for an "open study" period. When the Algebra student selects the "8:00 AM" configuration, then method 700 configures the browser settings for 8:00 AM, the Algebra class settings.
In one embodiment, the data structures 139 are located on the server 124 and made accessible to the browser program 140 and configuration program 141 residing on client 122. This allows the browser configurations to be portable and available to a plurality of browsers via the network 126. In addition, the individual contents of 139 may be distributed within the network 126 between client components and server components. For example, the time-value condition may be stored on the server 124 while the browser configuration information is stored on the client 122. When the time-valued condition is satisfied, the server 124 transmits an appropriate control message to the client 122 to indicate which configuration should be loaded.
In another embodiment, some of the steps are performed by separate programs in cooperation with the browser program 140 and configuration program 141. The separate programs may be located on the client 122 or distributed within the network 126.
In one embodiment, the periodic configuration event and length of the event are issued by a user. For example, assume a French Class is rescheduled to a different period. During the rescheduled period, the instructor of the French class sends a configuration event to all of the client computers 122 used for the class, via the network 126. The event specifies the French class settings for a specified length of time. Upon receiving the event, all of the computers 122 configure to the French class for the specified length of time.
While the foregoing is directed to the preferred embodiment of the present invention, other and further embodiments of the invention may be devised without departing from the basic scope thereof, and the scope thereof is determined by the claims that follow.

Police said the bodies were believed to be those of an Austrian, a German and two Swiss nationals who were among 30 people on the boat when it was reported missing on Sunday night.Bangkok -- Divers on Wednesday found the bodies of four missing foreign tourists trapped inside a boat that capsized near the Thai tourist isle of Phuket during a scuba diving trip, police said.
Police also identified a fifth body found floating in the sea on Tuesday as that of an Austrian woman, while a Japanese tourist and a Thai cook remained unaccounted for three days after the vessel sank in a storm.
"We have found the ship and there were four bodies stuck inside," Lieutenant Colonel Wallop Puangpaka of Phuket marine police told AFP. "The wreckage was about 60 to 70 metres (yards) deep."
Police said the bodies were believed to be those of an Austrian, a German and two Swiss nationals who were among 30 people on the boat when it was reported missing on Sunday night.
"But we cannot retrieve the bodies because it is very deep and there is a lack of oxygen for the divers," Wallop said. "That will resume tomorrow."
He said the divers who found the bodies were foreigners and were associated with the company that operated the ill-fated diving trip.
The 60-foot (18-metre) diving boat was returning from the Similan islands off southern Thailand when it capsized. Police and navy rescued 23 passengers and crew on Monday afternoon.
Police separately identified the Austrian woman whose body was discovered in the sea following the accident as Gabriele Jetzinger, 51.
Her husband, a physician, helped Thai officials identify her body using dental records, a ring and a watch, they said. She was to be cremated on Thursday at a Thai temple, police added.
Austrian media originally reported that three Austrians were missing following the sinking, but no German.
Phuket, Thailand's biggest island, is one of the kingdom's leading tourist draws, with holidaymakers attracted by its white-sand beaches, plush resorts and spas, and clear blue seas.

Tackling the daunting prospect of a blank page
In the first of a series of extracts from In Your Creative Element, a new book about creativity in business, creativity expert and Chief Spark at Now Go Create, Claire Bridges gives her advice for tackling the daunting prospect of a blank page. She advises how to identify the problem at hand and suggests tools that can be applied to a diverse range of problems – from 'I need an idea right now' to more complex challenges
Being faced with the blank page can be daunting. Despite working in PR for nearly 20 years, for the first 15 of those, learning creative techniques was not on the agenda even though ideas are the lifeblood of the business. When I became Creative Director I needed more ammunition, so I taught myself myriad techniques in order to have a more structured approach to problem solving.
There are thousands of techniques out there and there is both an art and craft to choosing creativity tools, particularly if you are facilitating others. What follows is my go-to selection based on years of personal trial and error, including those from formal processes including Creative Problem Solving (CPS), Design Thinking and my own adaptations.
Getting prepared
"Always the beautiful answer who asks a more beautiful question" – EE Cummings (1938)
Great questions are at the heart of great ideas. The art of questioning is often a game of mental Ping-Pong between divergent and convergent thinking.
You're trying to open up and explore options, and to get the question(s) or problem statement right well before you start to try and generate ideas. You might want to generate lots of problem statements before you focus on those that look the most promising.
Asking the wrong questions can lead you down blind alleys, waste time and further confuse the issue. Often business briefings are filled with marketing jargon, that, to quote WPP stalwart Jeremy Bullmore, "kills thought, strangles speculation, anaesthetises the imagination."
One idea that is gaining in popularity is 'question storming' instead of 'brainstorming' – a useful process to try and generate many possible starting points before looking to generate solutions.
Here are a couple of my go-to tools when tackling a brief:
Problem finding tool 1:
Generating an effective problem statement (Isaksen et al, 2011)
What is it? A tool from the Creative Problem Solving process to generate useful problem statements and open up ideas. Often a challenge is not written as a question, but as a statement or an objective. For example: stunt ideas to support our World Cup sponsorship or get more 'likes' on Facebook. You need to bridge between the client brief and an enticing creative brief. This tool helps to do that and can add specificity, constraints and ambition to your statement.
How to do it: Follow this format to create potential problem statements, informed by data and insight.
Write down your initial problem as you see it, or as per the client brief. Here's a working example of a challenge that I see every time I take a commuter train. People often fall asleep on the train without having their ticket on display for the guard. How can we make people leave their ticket out?
1. Start with an invitational stem – a way of asking questions that 'opens up, or invites, many possible responses'. There are three suggested stems:
How to…
How might…
In what ways might…
2. Identify an owner. This might be a specific person responsible for the problem or a company eg How might Loco Trains' corporate communications team….In what ways might Loco Trains' staff…. In what ways might Loco Trains' guards…. How to encourage commuters to….
By playing with the ownership you give yourself options. You can change the gender, the demographic, the age, to give you different (divergent) avenues.
3. Have an action verb. "Identify a specific and positive course envisioned by the statement" (Isaksen et al, 2011); eg "In what ways might Loco Trains' guards force/ encourage/ cajole/ provoke/ avoid/ reward/ persuade….
4. An objective. "Identify the target or desired outcome and direction for your problem-solving activity" (Isaksen et al, 2011).
In what ways might the Loco Trains' guard reward customers for showing their tickets?
How to avoid awkward customer interactions on the train?
How might the Loco Trains design team create a ticket holder that people actually want to show off?
How to engage with Claire on the 6:05am London Waterloo train and encourage her to display her ticket without being prompted?
Again, changing the owner, the verb and the outcome (being specific and general) gives you different creative options and opens up different routes.
You can ask yourself whether, from all the options you generate, is there a 'central question'? One that takes priority over all the others and that gives you a clear way into your problem?
Who is this technique for? Anyone involved at the start of the creative process.
Good for: Ensuring that you're asking the right question. Checking that you have a well-formed problem if you're having difficulty generating ideas (often due to a poor question).
Not so good for: There's really no occasion when having a well-formed question will hinder your creative efforts!
Problem finding tool 2:
User empathy map
What is it? A widely used tool from design thinking and the world of UX. A structured way to plot your target audience's behaviour in relation to your problem or challenge on one page in order to highlight where you might be able to affect change.
How to do it: Do this before or in an ideas session to get a better idea of the consumer or customer. Simply split a piece of paper into four with a cross that runs from corner to corner.
In each of the four segments write one of the following: say, do, think, feel. The idea is to spend a little time thinking about the consumer's world and writing things down in each segment.
For 'say', that could be some quotes and defining words about him/her (ie 'confident').
'Do' is all about what actions you want them to do as a result of your activity or what they currently do.
'Think' is what your consumer might be thinking. What are their underlying beliefs?
'Feel' – what emotions they might feel now in relation to your problem. What is it that you want them to feel?
The next part is to think about what the target audience's 'pain points' might be – what is annoying, irritating or upsetting for them about the subject, product or area you're working in? You consider these pain points in order to generate 'gains' – where can your product or service or idea help?
Why it works: It's based on real needs and empathy, a deep understanding of the person for whom you are designing your product or service for. Get into the customer's head before trying to think up an idea intended to target a real need.
Who it's for: Groups or individuals trying to find a place to start from in order to generate creative ideas, or a way to hone/test ideas you already have.
Good for: Plotting a lot of disparate customer data, using insights, getting into your target audience's head. Finding an emotional trigger or genuine need. Making the problem visual.
Not so good for: Speedy idea generation (unless done before a workshop). Crunching massive amounts of data.
Curiosity and experimentation are at the heart of creativity. No doubt you have your own favourite go-to ways to get in the groove. Tools can help you get a fresh perspective on a problem, provide brainfood and stimulus and give a consistent, structured approach to tackling the blank page.
In the next issue we'll explore idea generation tools.

Good thing we Legend of Korra fans didn't have to wait too long for Book 4 to come (Book 3 just ended in August guys....too soon) because the official trailer for the final season of Korra is finally here. Good thing the premiere date is just a week away or else I literally would have flipped a table waiting for the season to come. Check it out below!
Looks like there's a new formidable villain, Kuvira, who introduced herself to Tonraq at the end of Book 3, and a 3 year time skip, which I'm not sure how I feel about (I lied, I'm hyperventilating because I'm so excited).
There also seem to be allusions to the original Avatar series aplenty in this trailer like
Korra fighting in what looks to be the same ring that the gAang met Toph
The swamp where Aang and the others had visions of people they had loved and lost of course
Zuko's daughter?!?! (It's about time!)
And last, but not least, Katara, shown healing Korra, probably after the events of the Book 3 finale.
On top of all this, we get to catch up with the rest of the Krew like....
Korra, obviously, with a new do and everything (I actually like it better than her long hair??)
Jinora, Ikki, and Meelo, who all seem to have hair now
Korra, Mako, and Asami engaged in an intense car chase
Asami rocking that hair tie (I miss the long flowing hair but hey, you gotta see when you're fighting)
Bolin, who seems to have mastered lava bending
And Mako, still looking good and having a good time firebending.
The biggest plot twist of all was the reveal at the end with Korra stumbling across none other than Toph, who left to travel the world years ago.
I really never thought I'd see Toph again...hopefully this means that we'll also get flashbacks of Sokka and Suki?? I am just so excited!!
Republic City is still covered in vines and I find it hilarious for some reason.
Me right now (with my mixed emotions):
Are you ready for the Book Four premiere in a week? Drop a comment below!
The Legend of Korra premieres on Nick.com on October 3 (again, too soon! I'm not ready!!)
