Anyone seen Takoyaki lately in SF?
Has anyone seen Takoyaki lately?
The version I remember from a summer living in Tokyo was at the Mitsukoshi department store lunch counter. It was a small lunch counter in a corner of the store served only (or mostly) Takoyaki balls like in the picture below atop a mound of shredded raw (completely raw) green cabbage with dark sweet sauce in squirt bottles on the counters.
References to takoyaki at Sebo and Delica in the Ferry Building:
Takoyaki I remember it found on Flickr:
Takoyaki, not as I remember it, but incredible-looking:

Tampopo always has it on the menu and is one of the best I've ever tasted. I'm lucky that it is walking distance for me, part of Japantown and in the Buchanan part of the mall (not the indoors areas).
Here are pictures from my fried dough blog: http://frieddoughho.com/takoyaki-japa...
re: CarrieWas218
Do you know if they make them from scratch? I saw them on Tampopo's menu, but they list them as "Deep-fried" which makes me believe they're the frozen kind that's just thrown into a vat of oil. They do have the right toppings, though, and the pics do look delicious!
It's pretty difficult to find made from scratch (considering you can get it all over the place in Japan) but it's surprisingly easy to DIY. You can pick up the griddles at Soko Hardware or Ichiban Kan for around $20-25. That way you can make your own variations too - I've experimented with using a green tea base and whole wheat flour.

re: Radical347
I do not know definitively, but I am going to guess they are made from scratch because the octopus inside is so tender. If they were frozen, I think the seafood would be far more on the rubbery side.
Actually, thinking about it, I *did* get one that was still a bit underdone. Meaning, I was getting some un-cooked batter so if they were frozen, it would make sense that they would be consistently cooked through so these must be made fresh.
And the toppings are spot-on.
A Takoyaki cart makes occasional appearances outside La Victoria Bakery & elsewhere.
Nombe has them sometimes.
Haven't tried either of those. But I did catch some at Sebo on a Sunday izakaya night, menu changes weekly.

The new Let's Roll on Irving currently has a takoyaki special for $2.99. I tried it today - 4 takoyaki come topped with bonito shavings, finely shredded nori, mayo, and a sweet barbecue sauce. I'm far from a takoyaki aficionado but thought this version was more than OK considering the price.
They also have a $1.99 California roll special which was also decent.
Majikku Ramen in Daly City has it on the menu, but it's deep-fried.

re: bbulkow
The one I'm familiar with and understand to be traditional is the "waffle iron" version where the batter is poured into a whack of little round moulds and sort of baked, similar to the one in the OP's first flickr link. Not too oily which is nice. Fun to watch while they are made as the operators frantically roll the balls to achieve an even doneness. I wonder if the Delica ones are like this at the Thurs FPFM. I prefer the small ones and can't tell if they are from the facebook pic.

re: grayelf
That's the way I've had them - the pan looks similar to the one for abelskivers - except the ones I've seen are rectangular (the pan, not the takoyaki balls).
Had them at the Night Market in Richmond BC a couple of years ago. And just 2 weeks ago we had them in Honolulu at the food floor of the Shirokiya dept store at the Ala Moana Shopping Center...
They were definitely not deep fried FWIW....
re: RWCFoodie
Yes, Takoyaki are definitely not deep fried. Yes, a bit of oil is rubbed on to the surface of the cast-iron hemispheres used to cook the batter containing octopus bits and other ingredients. The best way to get an idea of what they are like is to pay a visit to Delica in the Ferry Bldg. later this month when employees from Kansai will be making and serving them.
1 Ferry Bldg, San Francisco, CA
Delica announced that it will serve fresh takoyaki at the Ferry Plaza farmers market from May 26 through August. Apparently the owners are from Kansai where takoyaki are a specialty.

re: Melanie Wong
re: Melanie Wong
I had Delica's takoyaki today at the FB. Excellent! Cooked perfectly -- browned on the outside and creamy on the inside, without being slimy, which sometimes happens if they skimp on the cooking time (there was about a 25 min. wait, though, so I availed myself of some Scream pistachio sorbet). A little on the smallier side, which was good, because they cooled down a little quicker -- a molten takoyaki center can have an almost nuclear effect on the tongue/roof of the mouth.
I predict many return visits this summer.
And 10% of the proceeds goes to Japan earthquake relief.

re: Debbie M
Have you tried the new vendor at the Temescal farmers market, Takoyaki Yum?
re: Melanie Wong
takoyaki yum isn't inside the temescal farmers market. they are in front of a house at 491 cavour st, across from the parking lot of the dmw which hosts the temescal f.m.
look for a pic of a smiling octopus. on a tree or a solidatary eurasian lady cooking in the middle of the block.
all their ingredients are store brought, nothing original. interesting renditon. everything cooked to order. will post review soon.
I just had a very nice version at Genki Ramen last Friday. The version there is spherical like in your second photo, and topped with a little yakisoba (ish) sauce, mayo, and bonito flakes. They were hot and crispy on the outside with a soft custardy interior, and a little piece of octopus in the center. I enjoyed it a lot. Even better was the seafood okonomiyaki. I know, not the same for a lot of takoyaki lovers, but really worth a try if you like the basic concept of a fried batter with seafood.

If anyone's interested in making their own, I saw takoyaki pans for $20 at Kitchen Plus, the housewares place next to Koreana Plaza, and at Kamei I saw a tool that by the drawings on the package (no English) is intended for turning the takoyaki.

re: Robert Lauriston
Was the tool something other than two wooden skewers?
Coming to the San Jose Mitsuwa, June 2-5, as part of their "Umaimono" Japanese Gourmet Foods Fair:
"Next, from Osaka, "Takoyaki" of "Takoya Kukuru" , is currently the top favorite snack at the Universal Studio Japan City Walk. The airy soft skin, and its pronounced texture of chopped octopus are their pride. Their rich sauce is unmistakable in its flavor!
Don't miss their "Apple Pie", Baked Sweet Potato, and "Chaimon Sweet Potato" as well.
6/2(Thu) - 5(Sun) San Jose "
The takoyaki vendor they had last year used white wine in their batter. Pretty good.
675 Saratoga Ave, San Jose, CA
re: Debbie M
The tool was kind of like a small icepick, though it wasn't pin-sharp and it looked like it was covered in teflon or silicone. Here's another one:
re: Debbie M
I think it might be the same vendor as last year, as there was limited English signage around the booth that mentioned having white wine in the batter.
Very airy (deflated quite rapidly after being put into a box), the centers were gooey, and the octopus pieces were just the right size and tenderness. It's definitely fun to watch them make it. There was a slight wait for the takoyaki ~10 minutes from the end of the line to getting the order boxed. It seems they brought all their packaging from Japan, as the bag and box are very Japanese.
8 pieces of takoyaki for $6.90 + tax.
sweet100s, I think this article was written for you!

If you are anything like me, you spent a substantial chunk of your childhood parked in front of the television watching VHS tapes of people doing dunks. I mean, you did other things, too — rode your bike, chucked rocks at stuff, got grounded for cussing, etc. — but, primarily, you wore out the tape on those videocassettes while eating cereal. There were a lot of those kinds of videos released in the early-to-mid '90s, but the gold standard was the NBA Superstars series put together by Hardwood Classics. NBA Superstars was collection of videos that contained 3-4 minute highlight packages set to popular music from the time, typically focused on an individual player, but occasional based on a unifying theme. The first one was released in 1990, and contained montages dedicated to Magic Johnson, Larry Bird, Michael Jordan, Hakeem Olajuwon, Dominique Wilkins, Charles Barkley, Isiah Thomas, and Julius Erving, as well as one about players from years past.

African business, politics and lifestyle
African turmoil? Zambian president doesn't think so
One of the big questions at the Reuters Africa summit has been what impact the turmoil in North Africa is going to have south of the Sahara – something we've looked at on this blog too.
Zambian President Rupiah Banda doesn't expect much on the political front, at least not in his country.
As he put it to us at the Reuters offices in Johannesburg: "We have gone through that period long before."
"In 1991, the Zambian people removed the one party state, they moved towards multi-party democracy."
"If someone stood up today and said let's remove this government, I think the Zambian people would say 'Why do we have to run the risk of burning this country when we are going to have elections this year?'"
Zambia was one of the first countries to take the multiparty route when protests to demand democracy erupted across the continent after the Cold War.
It is widely seen as one of the better examples of a functioning multiparty system. There are plenty of examples of countries south of the Sahara where reforms didn't really happen in the early 1990s or since.
As Banda pointed out, openness can have its downside too – such as what you read about yourself in the press.
"They even call me Rupiah and you know for an African when you are an old man you don't want to be called by your first name. They do that to make me feel the pain," he said.
"I decided I am a democrat and I have to allow people to speak, allow people to say what they want and many times they say it to their own detriment. Because when I hear them, if there is something good in what they are saying, I implement it so that they have nothing to say."
Banda said he was confident of winning this year's presidential election by a bigger margin than in 2008 despite efforts by his opponents to unite against him.

This application claims priority under 35 USC � 119(e) to U.S. Provisional Application No. 60/186,785 filed on Mar. 3, 2000, the disclosure of which is incorporated herein by reference.
The present invention relates generally to item processing of commercial paper and more specifically to a turnkey computer-implemented processing solution which facilitates and expedites the clearing process of various commercial paper including but not limited to checks, drafts, money orders, credit notes, debit notes, invoices, bills, cash transaction, control tickets, remittance slips and the like.
The present invention includes a suite of innovative item processing and system integration software processing solutions. The architecture underlying these solutions is a Windows� NT/SQL service-based technological makeover of traditional, mainframe-environment item processing which eliminates the need for a separate proof and encode operation to provide a foundation upon which to build an array of downstream image products and services.
The present invention provides a innovative and completely scalable solution to address the ever evolving demands of payment processing by utilizing powerful user-defined business rules to maximize efficiency and usability.
The present invention further provides a Windows�-based solution for high-performance, mission-critical operations which delivers innovative work flows and open interfaces to drive processing efficiencies, while utilizing other current hardware and software resources.
The present invention is a stand-alone clearing solution which adopts a image-enabled environment for item processing and balancing which incorporates sophisticated balancing control rules, balancing control levels, proof limits and adjustments for wrongly-claimed, unclaimed and missing items.
The present invention provides a modern distributed architecture that is capable of evolving the processing needs and provides means to expand the product and services beyond basic item processing.
The present invention further provides an integrated �paperless� electronic work flow in which grouped transaction data records are delivered electronically instead of physically from branches to clearing centers such that physical item processing and the need to run prime (first) capture passes at a clearing center are eliminated.
Item processing involves the data entry and processing tasks associated with commercial transactions for clearing items. More specifically and with reference to
A transformation is performed on the TDR as represented at block 12 to convert the format of the TDR from a sorter-compatible format to an optimized data record format or unified data record (�UDR�). The transformation arranges the data fields within the TDR, as well as deciphers or parses additional data from the existing data fields. For example, image recognition functions may be performed on the image data to generate alphanumeric data that is included in the TDR. UDRs are stored in memory as a data store represented at block 14.
In some instances, certain items may require re-pass through an auxiliary capture step represented at block 16 to capture data previously rejected or to capture further detailed data or to encode the physical record. In these instances, the items are re-run through auxiliary sorters in which electronic format of the images, code line data and CAR values, as well as additional alphanumeric data may be obtained. In addition, the items may be re-passed to acquire further data from the item that was not previously obtained. The data from the auxiliary capture step is then transformed from the sorter-compatible format to the optimized data record format as indicated in block 18. Transformation 18, like transformation 12 arranges the data fields within the TDR, as well as deciphers or parses additional alphanumeric data from the existing images and data fields.
Alternately, a TDR may be the result of a paperless transaction (such as an electronic fund transfer or an e-commerce transaction) wherein the item data is already in an electronic format. In this circumstance, the TDR couples directly with the transformation function 12 for conversion to the UDR.
Data store 14 is an open architecture such that access may be gained from various physical locations, i.e., workstations, to perform item processing tasks. Data store 14 may be accessed to perform amount entry and verification functions. UDRs are accessed at workstation 20 to verify that the data fields in each record have been entered and to verify the amount associated with the UDR. Data store 14 may also be accessed to perform various data correction steps. UDRs are accessed at workstation 22 where parsed item data, codeline data and CAR values can be visually compared with image data and corrected, if necessary. Data store 14 may further be accessed to perform various balancing functions. UDRs are accessed at workstation 24 and compiled into a structured hierarchy that are balanced according to predefined balancing control rules and balancing control levels.
With reference now to
Block 34 represents an interface or prime capture module utilized during the prime image capture function 10 and auxiliary capture function 16 illustrated in
Capture function 34 also encompasses a real time data match including the amount entry/verification on UDRs as represented in block 20 of
Block 38 represents an interface or configuration module between data store 14 and the prime capture module 34 that allows the user to configure the processing parameters and work flow parameters of a specific application. In other words, configuration module 38 defines the environment for the specific sorter as well as the type and location of data fields provided from such hardware and the type, location and format of data of the UDR. Configuration module 38 further defines the specific routing of physical items, TDRs and UDRs. For example, transactions that require auxiliary capture processing are defined in configuration module 38.
With reference again to
The item balancing module includes a probable match resolution algorithm which interrogates each UDR to insure that the image file associated with that UDR corresponds directly to the alphanumeric data fields thereof. In certain circumstances, the image data may not have corresponding alphanumeric data associated with it (i.e., a �free� record). Alternately, the data record may not have the corresponding image files associated with it (i.e., a �missing� record). By utilizing a software comparison between the associated image portion of the record and alphanumeric data portion of the record, a probable match function may be generated which identifies a list of the most likely matches between image records and data records in the order of highest probability. From this point, the user may select one of the displayed suggestions, or may choose an unmatched item from the electronic adds list to complete the reconciliation process. As the user navigates through the probable match items, the electronic add list is updated to show the current selection in context with the other items in the electronic add list.
A related function involves the resolution of duplicate check entries. It is often critical to insure that items are not duplicated within the data store 14. The present invention employs a duplicate check identification algorithm to insure that there are no duplications within a collection of UDRs. More specifically, a list of all duplicate items within a collection is compiled and displayed in a readable format as illustrated in

The present invention includes an information publishing component or module 42 for extracting information represented at block 44 from data store 14 in a usable format. As presently preferred, the publishing module 42 allows reports to be generated and end-user defined configurations, as well as formatted data files to be output for use in post processing utilities such as electronic spread sheets and word processing programs. Further compilation and summary of information relating to the items processed through the clearing operation can be generated from such output.
The present invention further includes a portal module 48 that provides an access or window into data store 14 for users outside of the item processing work flow. In this manner, queries may be made of data store 14 to determine the status of given transactions. For example, data store 14 may be queried to determine the status of a check on which a �stop pay� order has been issued. Similarly, queries on the status of an item associated with an account having insufficient funds may be made for purposes of evaluating subsequent handling thereof. Also, individual UDRs including the image data may be queried to determine the accuracy of the signature block on that item. Notwithstanding the access to the database, the portal module 48 is external to the item processing work flow, and thus does not impede or implicate the primary function thereof.
As discussed above, item processing requires that data acquired from disparate sources be compared, matched, and reconciled accurately. The data matching logic must cope with data that is presented from multiple hardware devices and software sources. Each of these sources may have different methods for deciphering the printed characters on a check, and therefore may present different representations of the same data.
The present invention incorporates confidence-based codeline matching logic to cope with the differences in these data formats. Specifically, confidence-based codeline matching logic provides an algorithm to resolve unreadable characters between versions of check codelines, especially those captured during multiple sorter passes. There are various reasons why the same check would be read differently on subsequent sorter passes than on the first pass, most having to do with the capabilities and condition of the hardware. When codelines are captured differently, the result is usually that one of the captured codelines contains representations of unreadable characters. In such circumstances, the sorter hardware will generate a special character to identify any single character that it could not decipher from the printed item codeline.
The process of confidence-based codeline matching logic can be used to resolve unreadable characters. Given the two values �123456� and �123?56�, where �?� is an unreadable character, there is a high confidence level that the actual value of the unreadable character is �4�. The same applies in reverse, where the two values are �1?3456� and �123456�, there is a high confidence level that the unreadable character in the first field should be �2�. However, if the values were �???456� and �123???�, a comparison of the two field does not result in a reasonable confidence that one is related to the other.
Confidence-based codeline matching algorithm of the present invention applies a confidence value to each field (of which there are usually four or five fields on a US check), and the individual confidence values are summed to derive an overall confidence value for the check's codeline. The individual confidence values are related to an unreadable character count for each field. The confidence value for the codeline allows the software to identify codelines that should not be used for codeline matching. When the confidence in the codeline is below a defined limit, there are too many unreadable characters in the codeline to allow it to be compared against other codelines during the data matching process.
Table 1 sets forth exemplary confidence parameters wherein each codeline field has an unreadable character limit and an associated confident value. If the number of unreadable characters in a field is less than or equal to the limit, then the confidence value associated with the field is added to the total confidence for the codeline. The total confidence must be equal to or greater than a limit set for the codeline. If the value is below the limit, then the codeline data is ignored during the data match process. All of the confidence parameters, i.e., values and limits, may be user-defined and can be adjusted by software implementation.
The search algorithm for the data matching search process of the present invention is optimized for speed by using a binary search of the codeline data followed by a sequential search of the codeline data. The binary search identifies the location of a codeline that matches the target codeline, and the sequential search looks for similar codelines that might also match the target codeline. In traditional data match searching, only the sequential search is performed.
The speed of the search is important for the present invention because of the volume of items that are processed. In some cases, a codeline must be matched to a data store of 3 million codelines, and the match success or failure must be determined in milliseconds. In order to accomplish this, a codeline table is created as a binary linked list that is sorted according to the character values of the codeline fields. This creates a table that can be used to support a binary search. Within the table, unreadable characters are all replaced with the ASCII value 255 to ensure a consistent sort order.
As each individual codeline is prepared for data matching, the process determines if there are unreadable characters in the codeline. If there are no unreadable characters, then the data match search process is straightforward. A binary search is performed for the matching codeline that is either found or not found. If no matching codeline is found, then a sequential or linear search is performed from the point where the binary search completed. If the linear search fails to find a match, then the codeline cannot be matched automatically and is marked to indicate that condition.
If there are unreadable characters in the codeline, then two binary searches are performed. First, all of the unreadable characters are substituted with the ASCII value 0 and a search is performed. Then another search is performed with the ASCII value 255 substituted for unreadable characters. This provides a range of possible matches within the codeline table. Once the range is identified, a sequential or linear search process is employed to find any matching codelines. The linear search process involves ignoring the unreadable characters to the extent that is allowed by the confidence-based data matching described previously.
The present invention incorporates a data patterning engine for implementing business-related rules including data validation, data routing and data transformation. The data patterning engine employs a simple scripting language that allows end-users to define business rules for data validation, data routing and data transformation. Binary-search table trees are created from the scripted business rules for high-speed execution of the rules on the order of less than 10 milliseconds. The data patterning engine also provides predefined and user-definable data keys for arguments. More specifically, the scripting language allows a user to extract a portion of a data field or formulate a concatenated data field from existing data fields. For example, an end user may define a data key which comprises the last four digits of an account number data field. Likewise, the arguments which define decision parameters based on the state of a data key are configurable. In this manner, the user-defined arguments may be configured to take a specified action if a data key has a given field defined thereby. The data patterning engine also provides for check-digit definition and verification of data based on such check-digit definition. The data patterning engine further provides customized data routing end points for outputting the data in a recipient-specific format. The data patterning engine also allows for user-definable endorsements such that a given data field or a data key may be printed on an item of outgoing data. The endorsements may be unique at any user-defined level down to the item level. Implementation of business-related rules are made through a tree-based user interface which define the data keys, arguments, check-digits, endpoints and endorsements.
The present invention includes a message engine architecture that provides means for dynamically substituting named variables with their corresponding data values at runtime. The variables themselves fall into the categories of �static variable� and �dynamic variable�. The names for static variables and the value for the variable are defined through an initialization file. The names of dynamic variables are pre-defined within the application, and the value determined at run-time through several layers of indirection. The message engine architecture allows these variables to be presented to the end-user for use in configuring the application system, and provides for easy customization of text display within the system.
The present invention incorporates a Totals Engine that computes and maintains totals for a specific hierarchy of control levels up to a maximum of 8 levels. The Totals Engine of the present invention is represented in unified modeling language (�UML�) format in
As presently preferred, the Totals Engine provides means for implementing the balancing business rules for each control level that is customized through software code. The Totals Engine is further configured to log errors and important operations for debugging purposes and to handle errors and exceptions in standard ways. Once an initial item capture has been performed, the Totals Engine can be used at any stage of processing the balancing business rules.
A complement to the Totals Engine is the Balancing Totals Tree 78 that provides a visual representation of the balancing status using a tree structure that identifies all totals and subtotals. As illustrated in
The present invention utilizes an unlimited hierarchy of objects that can be streamed as a variant array or an XML string from a source component to a target component where the tree of objects is recreated. This feature enables the use of objects (or an object hierarchy) in both components with built-in data-transfer functionality using any communication protocol.
The data transformation functions 12, 18 of the present invention incorporates a simply dynamic field display algorithm to represent the codeline data is in real-time as read from physical paper. The algorithm can accept various data types from disparate hardware such as check reading devices, and parses the input into a unified representation. The Simple Dynamic Field Display algorithm further can be used to describe an item as it is represented by the item reading device, thereby allowing the input format and field parsing to be customized. The Simple Dynamic Field Display algorithm also provides options for the display and editing of the data fields from the data record, so that all software components can be programmed to the same interface, thereby masking the complexity of parsing the codeline data. The majority of the options associated with configuring the simple dynamic field display algorithm are set, and thereby defined, in a simple text file such as a windows .ini file. In this manner, the programming solution has a dynamic configuration capability resulting in flexibility for location of the fields, number of the fields, the number of spacers and other options associated with the comparability with various item reader devices.
The present invention provides a way for a single software product to interface with sorters from multiple vendors. Since there is no standard that is set by the industry for a common API, vendors do not use a common technology (i.e. an ActiveX component versus a DLL versus a class library). Additionally, the present invention must be able to be tested quickly and without the extensive use of expensive sorters. Accordingly, an emulator is used when a sorter is not available.
A single ActiveX component is created which encapsulates all of the required functionality while presenting a single programming interface. Layers of classes encapsulate the external interfaces at different levels, allowing the ActiveX component to isolate the functions for each interface while still presenting a single, reusable programming interface.
The conceptual model for the sorter interface component of the present invention is illustrated in
Each layer in
As previously discussed, the present invention incorporates a method for easily reconciling physical paper to electronic data records. Unmatched documents are visually resolved using an automatic probable match resolution display, which is linked to a full display of the electronic add list shown in
The eList Reconciliation workflow starts at a remote location, e.g., branch bank, Where item data is first captured and the codeline information is saved as an electronic add-list file. The eList workflow as schematically illustrated in flow chart 140 of
After the first stage of eList Compare is complete at block 146, the data records are queued for Amount Entry at block 150 and Reject Corrections at block 152 on the data correction workstations. After all the data correction is complete, the second stage of eList Compare at block 154 attempts to match items and further reconcile the electronic add-list file to the sorter documents.
When the second stage of eList Compare is complete at block 154, the work is ready for eList Reconciliation at block 150. Sets of data records will be presented in random order unless a specific set is selected for reconciliation. Because the matching algorithm has already been executed in several stages, the number of items to match during reconciliation is minimized. For added flexibility, codeline data may be entered to make adjustments for items that are incorrect or misplaced, to relocate items to correct transactions, and to remove duplicate items.
In eList Reconciliation, any remaining rejects are corrected, duplicate items are resolved, prime free items are matched with the eList missing items, true free items are identified, and adjustment codes are assigned. Once eList Reconciliation is complete, the items may optionally be run in a Reject Encode pass represented at block 158 on a sorter to encode the correct amounts and sort the items to a given endpoint.
The Publishing Engine of the present invention provides a framework wherein the system generates pre-defined �events� are defined for periodic tasking to be performed when such events occur. For example, scheduling of reports within the system may be executed upon completion of eList reconciliation for a collection of records. The link between events and reports is user-configurable, providing complete flexibility when the report is to be provided (in relation to the defined events) and the content of the report produced. Since the present invention utilizes an open, architecture pre-defined reports can be scheduled, in addition to any user defined reports or any executable can be scheduled to execute when the prescribed event occurs.
In a related aspect of the present invention, a software development tool is provided which facilitates the selection and programming of various user-defined options. Specifically, the present invention includes a check box group function having a reusable visual control for automatically applying features of a Windows�-type check box to a group of other components. The check box group function represents a self-contained DLL-type file utilized in the Delphi software environment for enabling or disabling a group of components, based on whether a single box is selected (i.e., checked or unchecked). With reference to
From the foregoing description, one skilled in the art will readily recognize that the present invention provides a method and apparatus for item processing of commercial paper. While the present invention has been described with reference to a preferred embodiment, certain changes, modifications and variations may be made without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention as define by the following claims.

Quote:could I put my Orion XT10 classic on a Meade LX75 or equivelant mount?
Quote: Quote:could I put my Orion XT10 classic on a Meade LX75 or equivelant mount? Celestron still sells their C10N-GT which sits on the CG5 mount which is pretty much the same as the LXD75. So they must think it's okay. I've used that configuration before and found it to be somewhat marginal. The main difficulty in putting so much weight on the mount comes when trying to focus the scope. The slightest touch can cause vibrations which take a few seconds to dampen out. Touching your face against the eyepiece can do the same thing.The other thing is that a 10" Newt on an EQ mount can be just plain difficult to use. The contortions required to get to the eyepiece can sometimes be painful, depending on where the scope is pointed. Patrick
The fact that Celestron will sell you a 10 inch Newtonian on the CG-5 mount doesn't mean it is a good choice, it just means they are willing to sell it...

Michael Dukakis: The Photo Op That Tanked
QA with Michael Dukakis
Michael Dukakis in an M1 Abrams tank.
Twenty years after his loss to George H. W. Bush, Michael Dukakis is perhaps his own toughest critic. In 1988, then Governor Dukakis used the "Massachusetts Miracle"—the transformation of his state into an economic engine—to spellbind Democrats in the primaries. But the magic didn't work in the general election; he won only 10 states and the District of Columbia. The photo of Dukakis with a dopey grin and a huge helmet aboard a tank was turned into an ad ridiculing him as soft on defense. And the story of Willie Horton, a Massachusetts prisoner who killed a woman while on furlough, was used as a racially charged accusation that Dukakis was no crime fighter. Today, the 74-year-old professor of public policy at Boston's Northeastern University and the University of California-Los Angeles is still actively involved in expanding the party's base. Recently, he spoke to U.S. News about his campaign. Excerpts:
How would you describe your legacy?
If I had beaten the old man, we'd never heard of the kid, and we'd be in a lot better shape these days. So it's all my fault.
So, you consider the presidency of George W. Bush your doing?
We'd never be in this mess if I had done a better job. This has been the worst national administration I've ever lived under.
What went wrong with your 1988 campaign?
We ran a great primary. We did a lousy job in the final. I made a deliberate decision not to respond to the Bush attack campaign, and it was just a terrible mistake. You just cannot let the other guy beat you up and remain silent. In retrospect, it was a dumb decision. By the time I woke up to what was happening, it was awfully tough to get back.
Because of your experience in 1988, you've also become a booster of Democratic Chair Howard Dean's goal of building the party machine in all 50 states.
Democrats have forgotten how to campaign at the precinct level in national elections. I was a product of precinct-based grass-roots campaigning. We did a pretty good job of that in the primaries, and then the folks who were supposed to know something about the final campaign said, "Well, you don't do that in the national election; it's all money and media." Well, it's not all money and media. Again, for reasons I can't explain to you in retrospect, we just kind of stopped doing that in the finals. It didn't make any sense.
Of all the attacks lobbed at you, what hurt your candidacy the most?
I'm the last guy to tell you that. Certainly the Willie Horton and soft-on-crime stuff. And since the attacks were coming from a guy whose home city, Houston, had a homicide rate four times the homicide rate of Boston, it was inexcusable that I let him get away with this. But I did.
What were you thinking at the time?
There had been a whole lot of polarization in the Reagan years. I thought people were sick of that. But the lesson of '88 is you can't sit there mute while the other guy is pounding you with stuff that's sheer hypocrisy. Bush was part of an administration that had a furlough program that made ours look like the toughest program in America.
What ran through your mind when you saw the Horton ad?
You don't have a lot of time to sit and look at a television. And, a point of fact is that after working 16-hour campaign days, it's the last thing you want to do.
Some analysts believe the image of you in the tank did you in.
That didn't beat me. If we had run a decent national campaign, that wouldn't have had any effect.
Bush used that image in an ad describing you as soft on defense. The irony is that you supported a buildup in conventional weapons like tanks.
I was at the tank factory to make that point, obviously. Now, should I have been in the tank? Probably not, in retrospect. But these days when people ask me, "Did you get here in a tank?" I always respond by saying, "No, and I've never thrown up all over the Japanese prime minister." But, you know, things happen.

Solved! Go to Solution.
I had another customer with a similar problem and I logged the issue with development.
I am still waiting for them to update me.
I think the problem is the Add-in ID but I am not 100% sure.
Hi Rthapa,
Your iLogic code works. I tried the following steps.
Result: The dwg can be generated correctly.
Can you verify if the ini file ("C:\temp\DWGout.ini" ) referenced in your code exist? Expection will be thrown if it doesn't exist.
If the problem still exists on your build, could you upload a problematic idw with the rule and the screenshot for the error message? It will help a lot to triage the issue.
You have created this thread twice now.
Please add your comments to the original forum request.
Hi Jeffrey.Sun,
You are awesome. Your suggestion worked.
My original IDW template was migrated from Inventor 2011 to Inventor 2012 with the rules already embeded.
With your suggestion, I created a new blank IDW template with no rules then added the same old rule in it. It works like a charm now.
Somehow migrating old template was failing.
Yeh! Off to the races.

In its first meeting after being sworn in following a contentious election in October, the Eagle Rock Neighborhood Council voted Tuesday night to fund Take Back the Boulevard, a local initiative aimed at making a section of Colorado Boulevard safer and more attractive for bicyclists and pedestrians.
The ERNC board awarded $4,900 to TERA (The Eagle Rock Association), Eagle Rock's largest voluntary groups and one of the initiative's major architects, which had requested the funds to meet expenses related to project grant writing, conceptual design and community outreach. While 12 board members voted for the grant to TERA, three voted against it. Besides ERNC President Michael Nogueira, who did not vote, there were 15 board members present.
TERA President Bob Gotham, who also chairs the TBTB steering committee, gave the ERNC board a detailed presentation about the initiative. Gotham specified that Take Back the Boulevard is a collaborative effort based on regular feedback from community members as well as strong support from the office of City Council member José Huizar.
Further, from the start, said Gotham, the TBTB initiative has relied on a certain amount of seed money to get things done instead of being mired in endless planning, which has been the fate of numerous voluntary efforts in the past to improve Colorado Boulevard.
Of the $4,900 requested, TERA plans to use $3,000 to pay professional grant writers; $500 on conceptual design to support grant applications; $500 on logistical expenses; and $900 on community outreach and communication, according to a copy of TERA's grant application available at the meeting.
The projected total cost of personnel-related and non-personnel expenses, according to the application, is $10,700.
Prior Conflict of Interest
An earlier request by TERA for $4,900 from the ERNC had been rejected by the Department of Neighborhood Empowerment because it felt there was a conflict of interest that arose during a vote on the issue by the previous council's board: Although former board member Maria Nazario, who also happens to be on the board of TERA, did not cast her vote, the department denied the grant because she did not leave the room while voting was underway.
Shrinking Budget
Tuesday's board meeting began with a presentation of the ERNC's budget by Treasurer Ashley Atkinson. The previous council, she said, had already spent $23,000 of a total of $37,000 in available funds for the 2012-13 fiscal year ending in June.
If TERA is eventually awarded $4,900, the ERNC would be left with just $9,100 for the remaining half of the fiscal year.
A sum of $9,600 that had been awarded to a vendor previously in the fiscal year has not been utilized, Atkinson told the board, and she is waiting to hear from city authorities if the ERNC can make use of the amount.
"That money went right back to the city—we never got the benefit of that money," said Peter Hilton, a former member of the ERNC board who ran unsuccessfully for ERNC president in the recent elections. All too often, said Hilton, vendors "don't have a plan for how they're going to spend the money—they never give us a definite idea of where it's [going to be] spent."
Hilton said that while he was on the previous board of the ERNC, he supported TERA's earlier request for $4,900 in funds. In hindsight, he said, he thought it was a mistake and that the money would be better spent elsewhere in the community.
Grilling Gotham
ERNC Education Director Jennifer Nutting queried Gotham extensively about TERA's plans for its grant money request.
"What if we give you the money and you can't use it?" she said. "We'll end up losing it." Added Nutting: "You're asking for $3,000 for grant writing but you need $6,500 more—what if you can't raise that $6,500?"
So far, quipped Gotham, "we've had the reputation of using every penny."
Asked by ERNC President Nogueira to "tell us where the Big Money is going to come from," Gotham replied that different funding sources have different ideas about how their grant money should be spent—and the trick for TBTB grant proposals is to tailor them in ways that match those expectations.
"The more skillfully a grant proposal is written the better the chances that it will get funded," Gotham said, adding: "Grants, to a degree, are a moment of opportunity, and so we will have many goals, although we don't expect to go out there and find a grant that will match ever one [of the goals]."
As much as 80 percent of TBTB's master plan document has already been written, Gotham said, adding: "We're getting stuff done but we need your help to get the rest of the stuff done."
In response to a question from Vice President David Greene whether the ERNC could get regular updates about the progress that TBTB is making, Gotham agreed to keep the board informed on a quarterly basis.
Asked by Greene as to how much the entire Take Back the Boulevard project would cost, Gotham replied that's impossible to estimate in advance in any useful way.
"Anyone who tells you how much a project like this is going to cost has got to be smoking something," he said, jokingly casting a sideways glance at veteran Eagle Rocker and medical marijuana advocate Tim Ryder, who was seated in the audience.
Cautionary Tales
Brian Gallagher, a registered traffic engineer with the state of California's Department of Transportation who lives on Ellenwood Drive, pointed out that Colorado Boulevard is designated as a "major highway" and that the city's "community plans" would have to be changed before any reduction in the number of lanes (for vehicles) is undertaken.
Gallagher also advised Gotham to ascertain what various city departments, including the DOT, are "willing to commit to do free before you start doing grants to get this stuff done."
While many of the TBTB's proposed changes to Colorado are "very simple and cheap," others are not, Gallagher said. "A new traffic signal costs about $300,000 per location, and to widen curbs to provide bump-outs costs about $100,000 per location," he said.
"And when you have these bump-outs it causes problems with water drainage, trash, and [for] people waiting to turn right on lanes," Gallagher added. Besides, constructing medians on Colorado Boulevard (to facilitate pedestrian crossing, as TBTB envisions) might also hinder the movement of Fire trucks, he said.
"It sounds like a lot of these are really good ideas," Gallagher told the ERNC board. "But before you pay somebody to write grants, find out what you're paying them to write the grants for and why it's unnecessary to go out and get money when the city may already be willing to do most of that."
Gotham Responds
Gotham said that the TBTB steering committee has talked to the Department of Transportation "and they told us that the designation of Colorado Boulevard [as a highway] would not be an obstacle to do doing the things we'd like to see done."
Regarding bump-outs, Gotham agreed that it's possible to build them for $100,000. But many communities, he said, "have taken a much less expensive approach" and built bump-outs for "way below $100,000" without causing drainage problems.
"So there is the perfect way to do things—and there is the less expensive way to do things," he said. "We will certainly look at solutions, where we can, that don't represent the major investment."

Meet Daisey Traynham:
Performing solo, as part of the duo Heavenly Noise with husband Britt (aka DJ Batsauce), or a third of Smile Rays with Britt and MC/DJ Therapy, Traynham has a trademark voice that comes off both soulful and playful simultaneousl, perfectly matching the deep but free-spirited life she lives.
Her Sound:
Where to Catch Her:
Escape Artists:
"Music has always been a part of my life and I've always had a passion for it," she says. "But I never for a second thought I'd do anything big with it. It was just a fun-around-the-campfire thing."
In fact, for a fleeting moment, a film career was an option. When Traynham was nine, her family parked the Winnebago and took up housekeeping on a boat at a Fort Lauderdale marina, a setting of the 1983 flick "Smokey and the Bandit Part 3."
"One day, I was catching shrimp in the marina, totally dirty and I saw this sign that said 'casting office,'" Traynham recalls. "In my complete innocence I said, 'Hey, you guys got any parts in this movie for a cute little kid like me?'"
The next day the scruffy little girl from across the bay was cast as the kid who blew up Buford T. Justice's patrol car.
Fast forward to a Tuesday night at downtown Jacksonville's Voodoo Lounge-freestyling DJs and open mic poetry. The DJ that night was Britt Traynham.
"I had had a couple of beers and was feeling a little ballsy, so I grabbed the mic and started singing," Traynham says. "Later, Britt handed me his phone number and said, 'Let me know if you want to hook up and make a heavenly noise.' But the next day, I lost my voice. I went totally mute for a month. So we just hung out for a while and absolutely fell in love. A couple of months down the line I said, 'Hey, how about that music?'"
Soon, the two became Heavenly Noise. In 2004, they became Mr. and Mrs. Today, they indeed make heavenly noise as a duo, as solo entertainers, and as part of The Smile Rays with fellow Jacksonville DJ Therapy. They have become a vital part of the region's indie music scene, garnering praise and playing gigs throughout the South.
True to form, Traynham is itching to see more of the world. The couple recently sold or stashed the bulk of their worldly possessions in a storage unit and is living a minimalist lifestyle while they prepare for their "great escape" to Europe. The idea comes via The Smile Rays' record deal with Berlin-based Jakarta Records.
"We've always been told, 'You guys need to go to Europe. They'll eat you up out there,'" Traynham says. "So we're going to do that for a few months, pal around, do our music and see where the wind takes us."

Editor's note: This story originally ran on Oct. 13, 2012. The first show of 2013 is from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Saturday, March 16, and 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. Sunday, March 17, at the Tinley Park Convention Center. Tickets are $15. Kids 5 to 13 years old are $8, and children younger than 5 are free. Go to the conference's website for more information.
It starts with the dinosaurs.
That's Brian Potter's theory when it comes to explaining people's fascinations with snakes, lizards turtles and other reptiles.
"When you're a kid, you start to like dinosaurs," said Potter, who is co-owner of the Chicago Reptile House in Orland Park and one of the organizers of this weekend's North American Reptile Breeders Conference at the Tinley Park Convention Center. "But then as an adult you think, maybe you can buy a dinosaur. [Reptiles] aren't quite a dinosaur, but they're close."
PHOTOS: Check Out Pictures of Last Year's NARBC
For Potter, the NARBC is another extension of that childhood curiosity and enchantment with reptiles, which started when he was a kid in Tinley Park, exploring creeks to look for turtles. In 1993, he helped open the Chicago Reptile House, which trades in captive-bred reptiles. Not long after that, he teamed up with someone in the trade-show business, and the two launched the conference as a way to bring together reptile vendors, breeders and enthusiasts together.
Think of it like Comic-Con, but instead of crowds of comic fans dressed as brightly colored superheroes, you have crowds of reptile fans, handling their sometimes brightly colored geckos and pythons.
After more than a decade, the show has grown from being a conference for industry diehards into an event that attracts people just curious to see these creatures up close, Potter said. In fact, here are five reasons the conference
1. It's a Learning Experience
"Part of it is science, part of it is art," said Potter, describing NARBC. "It's a lot more than just sideshow attraction."
Although getting up close to these exotic animals can be a big draw for the casual attendee, the conference also is a place for breeders to share information and learn more about the reptiles in their care, Potter said.
READ: Shed Your Nervousness With Some Not-So-Scary Snake Facts
And that information isn't just kept among the "experts." Speakers are scheduled to talk this weekend on topics ranging from breeding bearded dragons to caring for tortoises to an artist discussing his recent trip to the Galapagos islands.
2. It's Kid- and Family-Friendly
For someone who cites his childhood experiences as the reason for being a reptile breeders, it's no surprise that making the conference an inclusive event for everyone has been a big priority for him. That's why it was important to have NARBC in an inviting environment like the convention center and not a dank storefront basement or back room, he said.
However, the biggest reason Potter makes sure the conference continues to court courts is because of the reaction they have seeing an exotic snake or lizard for the first time.
"After a while, when you become an adult, you start to lose the super passion for [your hobby]," he said. "But kids are just blown away by it. They haven't lost that, and it's great to see."
3. It's a Little Bit Rock 'N' Roll
It's not too far out there to say that reptile breeding attracts a certain kind of person. While there are plenty of your "regular Joe Schmoes" who take up the hobby—your doctors and lawyers—there is also a segment of enthusiasts who might be considered a bit more colorful. Like say, actor Nicolas Cage or Slayer guitarist Kerry King, who will have vendors table set up at the conference.
"He's a rock star, but when he's there he's just a guy who sets up a table," Potter said.
4. It Attracts People From Around the World
The conference also draws from a wide geographic pool when it comes to vendors and visitors. The Tinley Park location makes it ideal for people from Indiana, Michigan, Iowa and other neighboring states to visit, Potter said. But he's also seen people fly in from as far away as Coppenhagen to attend the event.
5. It's Got Bubba the Alligator
Check out the video in this article of Mokena's own scaly celebrity and his owner, Jim Nesci, for your explanation.
North American Reptile Breeders Association Conference
When: 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Saturday, Oct. 13, and 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. Sunday, Oct. 14.
Where: Tinley Park Convention Center
Cost: $15. Kids 5 to 13 years old are $8, and children younger than 5 are free.

Egypt has announced a criminal investigation against the deposed Islamist president, Mohamed Morsi, for allegedly inciting violence, spying and ruining economy of the country. The Muslim Brotherhood, the party of deposed president, denied the charges, saying the interim setup is cooking up charges against the party leadership on the behest of the powerful military. The public prosecutor's office said in a public statement that it had received complaints against Morsi and eight other leaders of the Muslim Brotherhood, including its leader, Mohamed Badie. The other leaders against whom the prosecutor's office had received complaints were not identified. Also, the nature of complaints was not disclosed.
The deposed president, Mohamed Morsi, was the first-ever elected president of the country. He was deposed by the powerful military of the country on July 3. The military defends its action of ousting the president, saying the president was ousted after hundreds and thousands of people took to the streets against him. On the other hand, Muslim Brotherhood leaders say it was a coup that reversed the political process in the country. The political process in Egypt started after the ouster of President Hosni Mubarak [Unlink] in the wake of a popular uprising against his rule in February 2011. People hoped that democracy and rule of law would be established in Egypt after Mubarak's ouster, but it did not happen.
It appears now that politics of revenge is going to be seen in Egypt. The ousted president is being kept at an undisclosed location. Supporters of Morsi are protesting against the military and interim setup and demanding reinstatement of their deposed leader. It would not be a good sign for Egypt and its people if the interim setup starts criminal investigations against the deposed president because it is not a mandate of interim leaders. The caretakers should focus on restoring peace and stability in the country and devise policies to hold fair and free elections at the earliest.
The chaos and anarchy may escalate in the coming weeks and months if the interim government continues with the criminal investigation of the deposed leader instead of focusing on restoring law and order and holding fair and free elections. The international community should push the interim setup to hold elections as soon as possible.
