A method and a device for event interpretation and output of operating instructions in motor vehicles are described. The inventive idea is to bundle the wealth of information regarding errors and/or defects resulting from the multitude of sensors and the complexity of modern vehicles, optionally linking it with empirical findings and outputting operating instructions to the driver, so that the instructions do not make excessive technical demands of the driver but instead are adapted to his/her instantaneous situation. The core of the inventive concept is to use an electronic database which contains the technical information including the error codes of devices of the automotive sensor and electronic systems for analysis of event information which informs the driver comprehensively and yet comprehensibly regarding the problems that have occurred. Likewise the database may be the target of an inquiry initiated by the driver.
1. A method of performing an event interpretation and outputting an operating instruction in a motor vehicle system, comprising:
compiling event information with respect to a vehicle-relevant event from devices of the vehicle electronic system and vehicle sensor system;
analyzing the event information by comparison with error codes of the devices stored in a database system and more extensive information regarding the error codes; and
outputting the operating instruction to a driver as a function of the analyzed event information, wherein the operating instruction is a problem solving instruction for a driver action in response to the event information.
2. The method as recited in
a system-diagnosed error in the devices,
one of reaching and exceeding a critical threshold value of a quantity measured by a sensor,
an occurrence of a predefined signal pattern emanating from the devices, and
an inquiry by the driver.
3. The method as recited in
analyzing the event information by comparison with predefined information regarding an error code combination.
4. The method as recited in
querying a signal of an additional device in order to perform an error diagnosis whenever at least one of a predetermined error code combination and a predetermined event combination occur.
5. The method as recited in
outputting the operating instruction to the driver acoustically via an audio output unit.
6. The method as recited in
operating an input/output device present in the vehicle for at least one of:
inputting at least one of a message and an inquiry, and
outputting the operating instruction to the driver.
7. A device, comprising:
a system monitor for compiling event information with respect to a vehicle-relevant event from devices of the vehicle electronic system and vehicle sensor system and for analyzing the event information by comparison with information stored in a database system regarding error codes of the devices; and
an interface for an output of an operating instruction to a driver as a function of the analyzed event information, wherein the operating instruction is a problem solving instruction for driver action in response to the event information.
8. The device as recited in
an input device for input of at least one of a message and an inquiry by the driver.
9. The device as recited in
an additional interface for a wireless connection to a remote database for retrieving information regarding at least one of the error codes and error code combinations.
10. The device as recited in
a database for retrieving information regarding at least one of the error codes and error code combinations.
11. A memory card for connection to a device, comprising:
a database for storing one of error codes and error code combinations together with respective operating instructions, at least one of the error codes and the error code combinations being based on devices of at least one of a vehicle electronic system and a vehicle sensor system, and the operating instructions being outputtable to a driver.
The present invention relates to a method and device for event interpretation and output of operating instructions in motor vehicles.
Although applicable to any desired information systems for event interpretation and output of proposed responses, the present invention and the object on which it is based are explained here with respect to an on-board information system in an automobile.
Automotive information systems today essentially use individual signal paths, sensor signals being relayed from a vehicle-relevant area to a warning lamp via a signal, analyzer logic unit, the warning lamp being provided specifically for this area. Acoustic signals are also used as warnings. This may be more or less satisfactory, depending on the defect and/or technical problem that has occurred in the vehicle. Such a warning is fully adequate in a case when a warning buzzer is activated on the driver's door being opened when the engine is turned off and the headlight is on, because the underlying technical problem is very simple, namely that the battery of the vehicle will be used up rapidly during a lengthy parking with the headlight turned on and there would be no serious consequences.
Several events coincide in situations which are more complex technically and concern events relevant to driving safety, involving measurement signals from multiple sensors, e.g., when driving in mountains when the tire air pressure is too low, the outside temperature is very low and the coolant water temperature is high combined with a low coolant water level at the same time, making it difficult for the driver to draw a reasonable conclusion from the different warning signals presented to him. In other words, there is no more comprehensive information regarding the gravity and more far-reaching consequences of the problem that has occurred or the plurality of problems occurring simultaneously. The driver may obtain information in the operating manual regarding the significance of the error signal when a certain warning light comes on, but in practically all cases the driver is instructed by the manual to take the vehicle to the nearest repair shop more or less immediately to have the problem analyzed and corrected by an expert. The disadvantage to this procedure is that it is remote from the practical situation and under some circumstances may unnecessarily worry the driver or leave the driver in uncertainty.
One approach for an automotive warning system is described in German Engineering Society Reports No. 687, 1988, for example. However, this system is limited to output of warning instructions to the driver based on very simple events from a technical standpoint, such as falling below the value set for the minimum tank level. The system disclosed there does not make any proposal for how the driver is to be informed and/or warned in a manner that is satisfactory for the driver in more complex situations.
The method according to the present invention and the corresponding device have the advantage over the known approaches that the driver is informed comprehensively and reliably regarding problems that have occurred even in the case of complex technical problems. In an advantageous manner, this information includes an explanation of the consequences of a problem as well as a proposal for the simplest way to correct the problem. The inventive concept therefore increases the driver's level of information, permits an understanding when problems occur and also does not distract the driver much from the traffic situation. In addition, the method proposed according to the present invention is open for the driver to make inquiries on his own to obtain information regarding the operation, maintenance and care of the vehicle. According to the present invention, such inquiries are made in an optimized form by audio or visual display or text output to the driver. The central point of the inventive concept is utilization of an electronic database containing the technical information including the error codes of devices of the automotive sensor system and the automotive electronic system for analyzing event information, informing the driver comprehensively and understandably regarding the problems that have occurred. Likewise, the database may be the target of an inquiry initiated by the driver.
The idea on which the present invention is based is to bundle the multitude of items of error and/or defect information obtained from the multitude of sensors and the complexity of modern motor vehicles, optionally linking it to experience gained empirically, and outputting operating instructions to the driver that do not go beyond his technical abilities, but instead are adapted to the given situation. This may be very important, e.g., when driving at high speeds.
The inventive system responds in a preferred manner to the following events: system-diagnosed errors in the automotive electronic or sensor systems, i.e., when an existing, system component belonging to the inventive concept, e.g., a program which functions as a system monitor, inquires about and detects error codes of sensors and control devices.
In addition, an event may be defined by certain critical threshold values of vehicle-relevant measured quantities being reached or exceeded or by the occurrence of predetermined signal patterns and/or error codes from the devices of the vehicle electronic and/or sensor systems. In this case, error states occurring simultaneously in particular are detected systematically as a certain combination. Since such combinations always occur with a certain statistical frequency, information obtained empirically can be output to the driver as operating instructions.
Inquiries by the driver/passenger may also define an event. For example, the driver would like to know whether certain maintenance work may be expected within an interval of time or kilometers selected by the driver. The inventive method is able to process this inquiry and, after making inquires with the technically relevant sensors, then construct an answer. Such an answer may be formulated by using linguistic variables in a particularly preferred manner. A linguistic variable may describe, for example, the technical state of a certain electronic device or a mechanical device. For example, the thickness of a brake pad of a brake disk or the like may be quantified by using four values for the linguistic variable, for example: �completely adequate,� �adequate,� �barely acceptable,� �defective.� Such linguistic variables may of course be adapted to the importance of the system components evaluated for the overall safety of the vehicle.
According to a preferred refinement, events such as those described last above are processed. Therefore, the inventive method is very universally usable for the driver.
According to another preferred refinement, other sensors or devices may be actively queried by the system without initiation by the driver on occurrence of predetermined error code combinations and/or event combinations. This makes it possible to differentiate technical problem situations more specifically and to relieve the driver of an additional mental effort while driving.
According to another preferred refinement, most of the operating instructions are output to the driver via an audio output unit. This has the advantage that the driver may keep his sight on the road and he is not required to read a running display while driving in a negligent manner.
According to another preferred refinement, the inventive method may use input and/or output devices already present in the vehicle by having the system provide appropriate interfaces to the devices. Thus, for example, the keypad of the car radio may be used as an input unit, the microphone of a car telephone or cell phone may be used as the audio input unit, and the radio loudspeaker may be used as the audio output unit or the display of the radio used as a visual output unit. Additional combinations with input and output devices already present on board the vehicle are also conceivable.
According to another preferred refinement, the inventive system for event interpretation and output of operating instructions in motor vehicles has an interface for wireless connection to a remote database to obtain information regarding error codes and/or error code combinations. In this embodiment, the database is not on board the vehicle itself but instead is situated at one or more geographically dispersed points, and the information is called up from the database to the extent needed.
According to another preferred refinement of the inventive system, the database may also be located on board the vehicle itself. The implementation of the database is expediently adapted to the available computer resources. If these resources are adequate, a relational database may be implemented in an on-board PC. However, then particularly critical state parameters of a vehicle may expediently be monitored redundantly in the interest of increased safety against failures, and the corresponding warnings may also bc delivered redundantly to the driver. Coupling of this system to a database in a notebook is also feasible. Bluetooth might be used as the transmission standard, for example.
The system proposed according to the present invention is referred below as an on-board service assistant (OSA). In the preferred embodiment illustrated in
Audio signals spoken by the driver and input into the system are converted in a module 14 for speech interpretation into certain key words which are subjected to analysis by the system.
The module for speech interpretation 14 contains in a preferred manner a speech recognition software, optionally in combination with suitable hardware such as DSP and it converts the driver's inquiry into search terms recognizable by the system. In a preferred manner, speech interpretation module 14 may be designed to be interactive, calling up certain terms input by the driver and giving the driver, for selection, terms, stored in the database for one or more of the terms input. This method of user guidance would then be analogous to conventional online help systems and dialogues.
When a certain inquiry concerns a measurable quantity, this inquiry is processed in a logic unit, branching off into a yes branch and a no branch, a certain measured quantity of on-board electronic and sensor systems 18 sought by the driver in the yes branch being converted in a CAN message conversion logic unit 16 into a CAN bus query.
The sought measured value of on-board electronic and sensor system 18 is read out over the CAN bus and the measured value is submitted to another system component, system monitor 20, for analysis. System monitor 20 recognizes that critical threshold values have been exceeded and recognizes the occurrence of unusual signal patterns, and is capable of querying the control devices regarding error codes.
System monitor 20 may be implemented as an independent hardware unit or as additional software in an existing control device or an on-board PC already present. All decision-making logic units are programmed therein. System monitor 20 is also connected to a module 22 for conversion of the measurement result into a search term suitable for a database 24. One or more table entries which are associated with an error code of a certain sensor queried may be searched in the database and all relevant information from the database may be kept available for the driver in an event buffer memory 26 for optical playback and/or preferably acoustic playback to the driver until the driver confirms output of the respective event interpretation by an acknowledgment action such as depressing a key.
Database 24 may be interpreted as an operator's manual or on-board service manual (OBSM) provided on board in the vehicle, containing additional information for certain error codes.
The function steps during operation of the OSA are described in greater detail below.
The on-board service assistant (OSA) responds to the above-mentioned events such as errors in the on-board electronic system and other detectable problems such as an increased engine temperature, motor oil too low, etc. and responds to inquiries by the driver.
If an event occurs, the information assigned to the event is localized in the OBSM and the information to be output to the driver is selected. In an advantageous manner, a display delay may also be stored in the database with any desired error code. Such a display delay prevents distraction of the driver on occurrence of noncritical events while driving. Thus the event associated with a certain error code which has occurred may be read out of the database into buffer memory 26 and output to the driver at a later suitable time, independently of the actual occurrence of the error. This uncoupling in time is represented in
Such a time delay may be implemented by conventional measures such as a database trigger, for example.
The output text provided for the driver may be generated synthetically in a preferred manner from the text data contained in database 24 and stored additionally in event buffer memory 26 or exclusively as audio information. In a preferred manner, the event buffer memory is erased only when the driver has confirmed output of the information or when the memory is needed for other purposes. In addition, the event buffer memory may also be designed to be of a size such that it is capable of storing information on multiple events.
In the example shown for error code 0480, a cooling fan 1 has a malfunction, as shown in columns 2 and 3. Columns 4 and 5 store the fact that corresponding information for the driver may be output as audio information and as visual information. Column 6 stores as text information the fact that there is the risk of engine overload. In column 7, the defect of failure of cooling fan 1 is classified as serious. Column 8 stores the text of a recommendation which may be output as operating instructions to the driver. Finally, column 9 stores information as to whether the message is to be output with or without a display delay. In this case, the error text, the type of error, the consequence, the classification and the recommendation should be output immediately as audio information as well as a visual display.
In the description of the error and/or defect shown as error code 4711, the defect does not need to be displayed until the next start because it is only a mild defect. The remaining table fields have been left empty to simplify understanding.
With a supplementary reference to
The inventive system is able to diagnose errors itself by cyclically querying observation and analysis module 20, which was also referred to above as the system monitor, or when certain other events occur, querying all or only certain control devices or sensors. If a continuous error code occurs, the information stored regarding this error in database 24 (OBSM) is compiled and stored in event buffer memory 26 until being output to the driver, i.e., almost immediately or only when the engine is shut down or the next time the engine is started. The driver is informed regarding the type of problem that has occurred, its relevance or severity, and a strategy for correcting the problem is proposed. If it is possible to transmit problems diagnosed in the vehicle to a central service office by mobile wireless or the like, the driver is also informed regarding optional measures to initiate. For example, an output such as the following might be generated: �Please go to repair shop X in city Y, street Z, which has already been notified and will repair your car.�
With supplementary reference to
A preprogrammed catalog of regulation measures stored in database 24 OBSM includes critical values and critical value combinations on which certain events may be based, and recommendations for the driver. This is schematically illustrated in
The values of sensor signals in the motor vehicle are monitored periodically by observation and analysis module 20. This may preferably be done as follows by periodically analyzing the stored catalog of regulation measures, where the analysis or catalog of regulation measures contains critical values of sensor signals and combinations of such sensor signals.
The event combination of the first line is perceived when the coolant temperature is more than 110 degrees and the coolant level is too low. Then there is the risk of engine overheating and the recommendation to stop at the next opportunity and fill up with coolant is output to the driver.
The second example is a combination of four events: first, the coolant temperature is below 40 degrees and in addition the instantaneous engine rpm is above 7000 rpm; furthermore, the engine load is assigned the linguistic variable �high� and the observation time is longer than two seconds, i.e., the engine condition defined by the three above mentioned events has lasted already for more than two seconds. Then there is the risk of shortening the engine lifetime. Then a recommendation is output to the driver that he should reduce the vehicle speed and engine load immediately.
It should be pointed out that the numbers of values for certain linguistic variables depend on the resolution of the respective sensors. In some cases, it is a binary decision, namely if a critical value has been reached or not, for example, whereas in other cases the values belonging to a variable may be split more finely. The use of linguistic variables simplifies the implementation of the catalog of regulation measures.
It should be pointed out here that the system function described here goes far beyond diagnosis on a pure component level in the control device. Any desired rules may be formulated in the event column of FIG. 3 and any desired signal patterns may be stored, representing a large selection of empirical knowledge, which may even be specific for certain types of vehicles.
The control flow of the inventive method in the case of inquiries by the driver is described below.
When the driver makes an inquiry to the system, this may be done through selecting menu points on a display or also by speech inquiry. In the latter case, the on-board service assistant is put in readiness by actuation of an operating element such as a button. With the help of speech recognition software in module 14 (
In an advantageous manner, the information thus sought may then be obtained through a hierarchically branched search term thesaurus.
With additional reference to
However, if the signals reported by the on-board sensor systems indicate unusual states which might pose a threat to driving safety, a corresponding message should already be present in event buffer memory 26. Because of the display delay described above with respect to
If the driver's inquiry is not based on a measurable value, as in the case of the key word �wheel change�, then the information stored in OBSM database 24 in this regard is output directly. Optionally by analogy with the output delay in the case of error messages, it may be noted for each search term in the database whether or not output during driving operation is to be allowed. For example, it would not be appropriate to display a graphic for changing the tire while driving the vehicle inasmuch as it could distract the driver.
Although the present invention has been described above on the basis of a preferred exemplary embodiment, it is not limited to this embodiment but instead may be modified in a variety of ways.
For example, the inventive method could also be expanded in such a manner that database 24 in an expanded form also stores first aid information for use in the event of an accident. Thus in a simple case, rules for behavior with regard to the next steps to be taken in an accident situation could be described, or in a more complex embodiment even more detailed information regarding first aid for accident victims including graphic illustrations could be displayed. The driver could then retrieve this information by inputting search terms.
The system described here may be used as an integral component of a driver information system or an on-board PC or a car radio and navigation systems, depending on the computing power and storage capacity made available by such systems. The on-board service manual stored in database 24 may also be stored on a portable memory card such as a multimedia card. Such a memory card could be provided as a plug-in card in notebooks, driver information systems, car radios, and the like.

Franco-German division cloud efforts to fix Europe's broken banks #eu #eurozone #imf #banks http://t.co/gt0tSfuGW4
Franco-German divisions cloud efforts to fix broken banks
LUXEMBOURG, Oct 14 (Reuters) – The euro zone debated on
Monday how to prop up banks likely to be declared unstable next
year, but France's blunt criticism of Germany before the meeting
laid bare the tensions surrounding the far-reaching financial
Bank health checks by the European Central Bank are a
critical step in establishing a single banking framework for the
euro zone, giving credibility to ECB supervision and paving the
way for the bloc to cooperate on saving bust banks.
Europe prepares to come clean on hidden bank losses
LUXEMBOURG (Reuters) – Euro zone countries will consider on Monday how to pay for the repair of their broken banks after health checks next year that are expected to uncover problems that have festered since the financial crisis.
Nobody knows the true scale of potential losses at Europe's banks, but the International Monetary Fund hinted at the enormity of the problem this month, saying that Spanish and Italian banks face 230 billion euros ($310 billion) of losses alone on credit to companies in the next two years.
Split on finance overshadows Europe-U.S. trade talks
BRUSSELS, Oct 6 (Reuters) – Aqua or water? These words mean
the same thing, and yet illustrate a divide that European and
U.S. negotiators must bridge in free-trade talks to integrate
half the global economy.
From fragrances to finance, creating common rules is vital
for reaching a deal between the European Union and United States
that officials say can boost economic output by more than $100
billion a year on each side of the Atlantic.
EU-U.S. trade talks off to a poor start http://t.co/SCXlY8nMH0 via @reuters #EU #US #TTIP #trade #USTR
Analysis: Canceled EU-U.S. talks complicate trade ambitions
BRUSSELS (Reuters) – Even before the cancelation of the latest round of EU-U.S. talks, negotiations to create the world's largest free-trade deal were getting into difficulty territory.
France won a concession to leave European movies and entertainment out of the pact, to shield them from Hollywood and Silicon Valley, raising concerns Washington may pursue opt-outs for its shipping industry on security grounds.

EU comes up with novel patent idea: cut red tape
BRUSSELS (Reuters) – A system that made patent registration up to 60 times more expensive in Europe than in China is being scrapped in favor of a one-size-fits-all pan-European process, EU officials said on Monday.
Signing off on a plan first considered in 1973, 25 of the EU's 27 industry ministers – apart from Spain and Italy – agreed to allow inventors to register their idea with one EU agency.
EU and France play down tensions over reforms
BRUSSELS, Sept 26 (Reuters) – The EU's economics chief put
aside any frustration with the pace of French reforms on
Thursday, telling France's finance minister that his budget
plans were on track and avoiding mention of ballooning pension
Relations between Brussels and Paris have been tense since
the European Commission, the EU executive, told France to cut
spending and reform its pension system in return for a two-year
reprieve on meeting European budget targets.
New era as Brussels tightens its grip on budget miscreants
BRUSSELS (Reuters) – Four months ago, President Francois Hollande warned Brussels not to tell France how to run its finances. In a few weeks' time, the European Commission will do exactly that as a new era of rigid fiscal surveillance begins in Europe.
In one of the most far-reaching responses to the region's debt crisis, the Commission, the EU's executive, will now run the rule over the budget plans of the 17 euro zone countries before they are fully digested by national parliaments.

Date of Birth

Place of Birth
Despite a lot of critical wrestling fans predicting his failure in Hollywood, Batista is expanding his resume rather nicely. After the success of Guardians of the Galaxy, the former world heavyweight champion has cemented himself into the Marvel Universe, which is red hot right now in the industry. Now, Batista is joining the James Bond universe, where he is slated to portray a villainous henchman named Hinx.
October 13, 2014
While the hot rumors are pointing to Darren Young being eventually revealed by WWE as the man underneath the bunny suit, a lot of fans have been wondering who has been portraying the character on television as of late. Reports have surfaced that developmental wrestler Sami Zayn has been the one in the suit. He apparently portrayed the character on Monday Night Raw and at live events.
September 17, 2014
The hot rumors right now is that WWE is going to prevent Alberto Del Rio from working for another wrestling promotion in the United States for the next year. In exchange, the company will continue to pay him, even though he has been given a release. That has led fans to speculate as to how much money he will be given. The belief is that it will not be the full amount of the contract, as he will not be paid for working live events.
August 21, 2014
Even though the company quickly rehired her, Emma might actually still be in hot water with WWE. The diva was not spotted backstage at Monday Night Raw or Smackdown this week. The belief is that the company has sent her home for the time being. Many believe that it will be quite some time before Emma is allowed back on television.
July 10, 2014
Rumors going around right now has WWE giving the world heavyweight championship to a heel at Money in the Bank 2014. The belief is that the company will set someone up to feud with John Cena and Daniel Bryan over the next few months. Antonio Cesaro has been rumored for a few weeks now, but some are skeptical of that because he hasn't been given a ton of momentum by WWE. Management will either hot shot the belt to Bray Wyatt or go with the safe route in Randy Orton.
June 16, 2014
Earlier this year, the hot rumors were that Kenta Kobayashi was going to be signing with WWE after the Japanese star came to the United States and did a tryout for the company. The industry was a bit shocked recently when it was announced that Kobayashi was leaving Pro Wrestling NOAH, his longtime home. The belief is that he no longer wants to work the physically demanding style in Japan.
May 8, 2014
Just like she was last year, Eva Marie is again a candidate in the Maxim Hot 100, which basically allows fans to vote on which female celebrity they deem to be the most attractive.

There are reports floating around right now that the reason why AJ Lee was not chosen to be a cast member on Total Divas is because she is married to CM Punk. However, she has repeatedly stated in the past that she was not interested in doing a reality television show. She enjoys her privacy and prefers to focus on being a wrestler. Management recently added Alicia Fox and Paige to the series.
October 21, 2014
The expanding cast of Total Divas will include Alicia Fox next season. WWE has decided to include as many of their female performers as possible on the show, and Alicia was quite willing to sign up for the reality television show. For a lot of the girls, the hope is that the extra exposure will help them build up their name value for when they eventually leave the company and pursue other things.
October 20, 2014
Those that watched Summerslam 2014 saw Nikki Bella doing her much rumored heel turn. She is expected to work in that role on television going forward. However, WWE did something peculiar at a live event in Sacramento over the weekend. Nikki worked as a baby face. She teamed up with Emma to defeat Alicia Fox and Layla El. The face team even attacked Rosa Mendes, who was portraying a heel character. No word yet on why WWE opted to do this.
August 24, 2014
With AJ Lee finally making her return to WWE, the competition in the divas division just got a bit tougher. Someone is going to be losing television time. Naomi Knight and Cameron appear to be safe, as they have a heel turn story line in progress. Summer Rae and Layla El appear to have their weekly television spots secured for the time being. Paige is going to be working a program against AJ, so she should be fine. The belief is that Alicia Fox will be the one demoted, even though her character was gaining a little bit of momentum over the last couple of weeks.
July 5, 2014
Since there are key members of management who are big fans of her new gimmick, Alicia Fox is expected to receive a nice push in the upcoming weeks. There's a very good chance that she could end up winning the WWE Divas Championship in the near future since rumors have been floating around that Vince McMahon is not a fan of Paige and her work.
June 14, 2014
There are rumors floating around that Paige simply is not a priority in WWE at the moment. Aside from management not giving her much of a story to work with and very little character development, the company also opted to remove her match against Alicia Fox this week from the Hulu version of Monday Night Raw. WWE does not deem it to be important enough to make the cut.
June 11, 2014
Now that she has successfully defend the WWE Divas Championship against Alicia Fox, it looks like Paige is moving on to another challenger. Based on a press conference video, it appears that the next challenger is Cameron. The move could be designed to help promote her new music. It could also be WWE filming footage for the upcoming season of Total Divas as well.
June 3, 2014
In a match designed to be the buffer between the two main event features at Payback 2014, Paige successfully defended the WWE Divas Championship against Alicia Fox via submission. Afterwards, Alicia continued her story line of going crazy whenever things do not go well for her. The audience reacted more to the post match antics than the actual match.
June 2, 2014
For story line purposes, WWE is reporting that Tony Chimel has suffered a concussion after being slapped by Alicia Fox, the diva who is currently working a story where her character is frustrated with all of the losing that she has endured over the last year. Alicia even mentioned on Twitter that she has sent him flowers. Chimel is actually fine.
May 15, 2014
Fans who watched Monday Night Raw saw Alicia Fox throwing quite a fit at ringside after losing her match to WWE Divas Champion Paige. The company also released a video on the app, where Alicia approached Stephanie McMahon and quit the company. Early rumors floating around are that Alicia, Damien Sandow and several other WWE stars are working a story line about lower level performers being frustrated.
May 12, 2014
Even though she defeated AJ Lee and is the current WWE Divas Champion, management is still using the same strategy on Paige as they do with other new performers. She has been working against lower level opponents like Aksana and Alicia Fox. That plan is not working out as WWE expected, as fan reaction has been a bit disappointing during the matches.
April 27, 2014
Even though she has not been featured all that frequently, Aksana has been booked for the upcoming tour of Europe. The company views her as a bit of a draw in that part of the world. The belief is that WWE will have her teaming up with Alicia Fox to take on Nikki Bella and Brie Bella at those shows. The Total Divas stars will likely go over in these bouts.
April 22, 2014
A video of the first title defense by former developmental star Paige, who worked a match against Alicia Fox on Monday Night Raw this week, since winning the WWE Divas Championship from AJ Lee the night after Wrestlemania 30.
April 16, 2014
Initially, there was a push backstage in WWE to have AJ Lee defending the belt against Naomi Knight in a straight up match, but for the sake of Total Divas, management opted to just throw as many of the girls into the match as possible. Cameron, Brie Bella, Nikki Bella, Natalya Neidhart, Eva Marie, Summer Rae, Emma, Aksana, Alicia Fox, Rosa Mendes, Layla El and Tamina Snuka are now involved.
March 25, 2014
With so much mystery surrounding her absence over the last several months, Layla El has finally made her return to WWE over the weekend at a live event in Waco. She teamed up with Alicia Fox to defeat Natalya Neidhart and Eva Marie in a tag team match. Some were under the belief that she would never be healthy enough to wrestle again, but that has now been proven false.
March 16, 2014
In an attempt to appease CM Punk, it appears that WWE gave AJ Lee the night off while the rest of the company was filming Monday Night Raw in Chicago. Management opted to do a random tag team match with Brie Bella, Nikki Bella, Aksana and Alicia Fox instead of building up a Divas Championship program for AJ at Wrestlemania 30.
March 4, 2014
As many of you already know, Miz is getting married to Maryse Ouellet in a couple of days, but he had one more assignment to complete for WWE. He had to represent the company at the Hall of Game Awards, and he brought along his lovely bride to be with him. Management also sent Alicia Fox to the event as well.
February 18, 2014
WWE posted this picture of Alicia Fox from her Valentine's Day photo shoot.
February 17, 2014
While many in the company are pushing for her to be elevated, it appears that Eva Marie is still struggling in the ring. Her taped match against Alicia Fox was removed from Smackdown this week. Several fans in attendance have stated that the segment was quite sloppy. Eva is expected to be heavily featured when Total Divas returns for its second season.
February 15, 2014
It appears that the eye injury suffered by Naomi Knight has worsened, as she did not work the WWE live event in Oakland this weekend. That left the inexperienced Cameron to work a single smatch against Alicia Fox. Naomi was injured during a match on Monday Night Raw against Aksana, which she still managed to finish.

This weekend I had an early St Paddy's Day party, and I had a blonde and a Guinness clone for the occasion:
- My IPA ran completely dry and got raves from everyone
- I did a blind side by side with my beer and actual Guinness, and the only person who picked the original was a guy who LOVES Guinness.
At this point I guess I can say that I'm making pretty good beer
Also as a side note, my beery friends hardly touched the blonde. Only one of the girls was drinking it. Not because they didn't like it, but because they were more into the IPA. These were guys who showed up with Bud Light a year or so ago. They've come so far. I'm so proud!
So you want to be a leader? You want to change the game?
Turn your back on money, walk away from fame.
You want to be a missionary? Got that missionary zeal?
Let a stranger change your life, how's that make you feel?
You want to be a writer but dont know how or when?
Find a quiet place use a humble pen.

Terra Incognita: Free speech and managed democracy
Eldad and Ben Ari introduce Strong Israel party 370.
(photo credit:Marc Israel Sellem/ The Jerusalem Post)
In All the Laws But One, former chief justice of the US Supreme Court William
Rehnquist writes about how the US government has frequently curtailed civil
liberties during times of war. Among the freedoms harmed in these periods of
crisis was that of speech. "If freedom of speech is to be meaningful, strong
criticism of government policy must be permitted in wartime," writes the
conservative judge.In Israel this is equally true, but with regard to
elections, rather than war.ISRAEL'S ELECTION period is heavily regulated
by law, with the result being more of a "managed democracy" rather than a total
open playing field. For instance, each party receives a amount of air time on
television proportional to its strength in the current Knesset. During the days
prior to the election certain electoral activities may not appear on television,
although the media is free to comment, probe and feature certain parties as much
as it likes.Each political party's television ad spots must be approved
by an electoral committee that acts as an official censor. On January 14,
Central Elections Committee (CEC) chairman Elyakim Rubinstein disqualified part
of a Reform Party ad, offering the following explanation: "Part of the ad is
vulgar and in bad taste, as well running [sic] the risk of hurting the public's
feelings."In another ruling a week before he had disqualified ads by
Balad and Strong Israel. In the former case he noted that the ad parodied the
national anthem in a "twisted and ridiculous manner" and that "disgracing the
symbols of the state, a Jewish and democratic state, is unacceptable to
me."Note the words "to me."Indeed, Justice Rubinstein's rulings
seemed to reflect his personal artistic sensibilities, rather than any clearly
defined policy regarding what is acceptable and what is not. This is because
historically the CEC does not operate based on clear criteria and its head is
encouraged to make up policy as he goes along.THE COMMITTEE consists of
representative MKs from several parties and is headed by a Supreme Court
justice. However the head of the committee has unusual latitude, in fact
unchecked power to do as he or she pleases.This year has seen an
increase in heavyhanded meddling on the part of committee head Justice
Rubinstein. It began with his banning of a billboard campaign by Strong Israel.
The billboards, placed mostly on public transport, bore Arabic words with
translations into Hebrew and the statement, "Because without obligations, there
are no rights."Rubinstein decided that the ad targeted the Arab
community in a negative manner and banned the billboards.The Association
for Civil Rights in Israel's chief legal counsel, Dan Yakir, objected, saying,
"To begin with, it [the decision] was taken without the necessary authority, as
the law does not grant the chairperson of the Central Elections Committee
authority to interfere with the content of billboards."That was only the
beginning. Rubinstein slapped Bayit Yehudi with a large fine for "violating
election codes" by showing soldiers in advertising and ordered Shas to blur the
face of a teenage girl. According to another report he ruled that "parties are
forbidden to exploit educational institutions in their ads, including yeshivas
that send some of their students to the army."In another instance he
banned a Bayit Yehudi poster that depicts party leader Naftali Bennett and Prime
Minister Binyamin Netanyahu because it was "misleading," apparently giving the
impression that Netanyahu supported the party.United Torah Judaism was
told to "remove from campaign material references to blessings that will be
bestowed on its voters."Then, on January 20, he forbade Netanyahu to
hold a press conference announcing the appointment of Moshe Kahlon to head the
Israel Lands Authority.On January 21 he banned the broadcasting of any
portion of a Labor party press conference on television.In contrast to
the 2003 CEC head, Justice Mishael Cheshin, who once stopped a press conference
of Ariel Sharon's in mid-broadcast, Rubinstein acted to place prior restraint on
the media, forbidding it to show politicians speaking during the two days before
the election.THE ACTIONS of the CEC have also been politicized to an
unusual degree. For instance, the decision to ban the Strong Israel ads was made
after an appeal by numerous people, including former MK Mossi Raz of Meretz. A
decision against Bayit Yehudi was ostensibly made due to an appeal by Peace Now
head Yariv Oppenheimer, who just happens to be running at the 27th spot on the
Labor list (he therefore has no realistic chance of getting into the next
Knesset).A member of the Yesh Atid party tried to get Shas and United
Torah Judaism banned from elections. After a tape of Bayit Yehudi's Jeremy
Gimpel giving a talk in Florida in 2011 was discovered, in which he appears to
mock the destruction of the Dome of the Rock, an MK from Kadima attempted to get
him banned.And all this is on top of the banning of Balad's Haneen Zoabi
by the CEC. The Zoabi ban, like the banning of portions of the Strong Israel and
Balad television spots, was overturned upon appeal to the Supreme Court. But the
entire trend of banning and interfering in the democratic election process is
highly problematic.On the face of it there appears to be no check on the
power of the CEC. Although bans can be overturned, when there are only two weeks
during which campaign ads are aired on television, the banning of an ad and the
need to wait for the Supreme Court to hear the appeal can seriously impair the
ability of a party to get its message out.Why does one man hold such
power to meddle in the elections? Why are there no clear guidelines on what is
legal and what is not in the election season? The result of fuzzy and vague
rules regarding what types of ads constitute incitement results in the power to
decide being concentrated in the hands of just a few men, with all the potential
harm that that can result in. Moreover, the process by which ads are banned is
tainted by the involvement of competing parties attempting to ban their
opponents' ads.The power-hungry censors have even attempted to extend
their seemingly soviet- inspired culture of banning things they don't like to
the Internet, demanding that Facebook remove anonymous political ads and
disclose who funded them.This "managed democracy" phenomenon receives
almost no attention in Israel because the political culture here long ago
accustomed itself to a socialist top-tobottom approach in which judges and
politicians decide what types of freedoms are and aren't allowed. That ACRI
protested the bans is a positive sign, but that so few Israelis noticed them is
deeply troubling. A society doesn't succeed by banning what it
dislikes.A more level-headed policy would include clear rules on what
constitutes incitement to racism and should be stricken from election materials.
Nebulous justifications such as campaign fliers being "misleading" or "in bad
taste" should never be a reason to ban items.Furthermore, the powers of
the judge who heads the Elections Committee must be curtailed and whittled down
so that he only has power over prescribed campaign materials in various media
formats, not over-arching, pope-like power to decide on a canon of restricted

Perfect dinners in a pinch with 316 quick-and-easy recipes!
You don't have to spend a fortune or valuable time at the mall in search of perfect Christmas gifts. Quite often the most priceless treasures are your own homemade cookies and candies presented in decorative tins or in one of the pretty packages suggested below.
You'll save a bundle on decorating gifts from the kitchen if you rely on baskets. They come in a variety of styles, shapes and sizes and are commonly found on sale at craft and variety stores—so be on the lookout for them throughout the year. And save any baskets you've acquired either from a gift you've received or from a purchase you've made for yourself. Line the basket with white or colored tissue paper, then top with cookies that have been bundled in plastic wrap. Place the basket on a large piece of clear, colored or patterned cellophane; bring the edges of the cellophane up and tie with a ribbon. Add a decorative bow if desired.
At Christmastime, craft and variety stores sell a variety of papier-mache boxes perfect for gift giving. You can stack star-shaped sugar cookies in a star-shaped papier-mache box that's been lined with wax-coated tissue paper. (Wax-coated tissue paper can be found at specialty cooking stores. It's sturdier than regular tissue paper and won't absorb the cookie's flavor and oils.) If you care to show your creativity, spray-paint the box and/or stamp it with festive designs. Let the box dry completely before adding tissue paper and cookies.
Little dressing up is needed when you fill inexpensive clear jars with colorful snack mixes and individually wrapped candies. Simply tie a festive ribbon and some tiny ornaments around the top for an easy-to-prepare present.
Don't limit your creativity to the suggestions shown above. Consider these other ideas:
Decorative tins, plates and candy dishes can often be found at bargain prices throughout the year at stores and rummage sales and at after-Christmas sales. Keep them on hand for last-minute gifts.
Stack cookies in a wide-mouth canning jar, cover the lid with fabric and screw on the band. You may also want to include the recipe for the cookies.
Instead of discarding potato chip cans, coffee tins or shortening cans, wash them, decorate the outside with wrapping paper or Con-Tact paper and fill with cookies or candies. Attach a bow to the lid and close.
Wrap cookies in plastic wrap, place a bow on top and tuck inside a pretty coffee mug or teacup.
As you pack away the holiday decorations after the new year, it's tempting to simply toss all…

Find the perfect Polaris Snowmobile for your riding needs and style.
Click here for additional tech info
World's most advanced snowmobile chassis – light, rigid and perfectly balanced for precise handling even in the nastiest terrain.
The QuickDrive Low Inertia System is designed to provide quicker acceleration and increased "flickability" through reduced rotating mass. Not simply a belt-drive, it is a complete lightweight drive system — featuring an extruded drive shaft, lightweight brake, RMK-specific brake caliper and of course the most visible piece of the system — a maintenance-free belt drive that requires no oil or tensioner system. Reduces rotational inertia by 21% which means 5lb. less effort when carving.
The new PowderTrac™ running boards have been developed for maximum snow clean out and maximum strength. Built from extruded aluminum with bonded cast lugs, they boast an open area of over 50% and integrated traction that is machined in for sure footed performance.
Mountain snowmobiling has changed and so has its seat. The RMK features a new seat design. Shorter by 5.5" allowing you to easily swing a leg from one side to the other —along with a 3.75" wider, flatter area for more comfortable seated riding.
Confidence comes standard. When you have a sled that responds to your every input, you've got a sled that you can trust. From technical tree riding to a demanding sidehill and turn out, the Pro-Ride chassis helps make you a better rider. Better weight transfer for Rider Active Control, and 300% more rigid chassis for more precise handling. Now with carbon fiber overstructure for reduced weight without compromising strength.
This liquid-cooled Cleanfire® engine with semi-direct injection (SDI) delivers outstanding throttle response and instant acceleration. These powerful, efficient engines produce the impressive power-to-weight ratios that deep snow riders demand. Cleanfire engines start easily and reliably and they calibrate automatically as the temperature and elevation change. These engines deliver impressive fuel economy in real-world riding situations, which, for Polaris riders, means aggressive, up-tempo riding, not low-rev lab conditions.
By using technology to improve our manufacturing, we continue to build lighter, stronger sleds. For 2013, we've added Bonded Lower Control Arms featuring forged aluminum ends and steel tubing. This process makes for a set of control arms that are 2 lbs. lighter.
The low-profile LED tailight, lightweight punched snow flap with hand access and carbon fiber bumper with extruded billet mounts add style and function. New, narrower tunnel cooling extrusions save weight.
High-rise aluminum design and adjustable bar clamp creates an optimum riding position that can be tailored to your riding style. Bar hooks and race-style master cylinder round out the purpose-built controls.
Prevents unauthorized driveaway of idling sled, and can be installed by dealer on sleds with Pro-Ride Gauge.
Pro-RMK shocks are a rebuildable, IFP, mono-tube design.
The heart of any mountain sled is the rear suspension. The RMK Coil-Over Rear Suspension is designed for better flotation and deep snow performance with improved on-trail ride. By eliminating the torsion springs and redesigning the torque arms, this skid weighs substantially less. In addition, it is tunable to the snow conditions. A simple turn of the spring preload adjustment allows you change your set-up from deep powder to crusted snow.

It started on a beautiful Saturday morning. Woke up and heard the birds chirping and with the view of the snow covered peaks of Cumbres Pass in my window. One thought came to mind like always; which of course, is snowmobiling. I went and got ready for an awesome day and loaded my boys' sleds along with my own and set off to the mountains of Cumbres. We Unloaded the sleds and set off on a fun powder day. My boys and i shredded powder all day long on our Polaris machines which were of course doing a tremendous job. We came across a hill that was indeed very steep but also powdery. As we were sitting in the bottom, two Arctic Cats rolled up. They tried climbing the hill and tragically failed. Being the guy i am, i decided to brag a little on my POLARIS, so i started it up first pull. I took a deep breath and gave my sled a little gas and then put the throttle to the bar and off i went. I started up the base of the hill and my POLARIS was pulling hard and climbing like there was no hill at all. The skis never touched as I flew over the top of the hill. I returned to the bottom and as I did so the Arctic Cats pulled over and told us "Wow that sled has to have a modified engine." I simply replied "Actually, its just a stock 800." The man's mouth dropped open and said "Ill rethink my next sled purchase and keep POLARIS in mind." Roughly a month later, we came across this individual at the parking lot and we spoke for awhile and I asked him how his Arctic Cat was doing and he simply replied "I purchased a 2011 POLARIS Pro-RMK, and it is absolutely the most amazing sled I've ever ridden." I shook my head and said "you'll never consider another sled, a POLARIS is all you need." This was one of the best feelings i ever had because i converted a person to a POLARIS. Truthfully, a POLARIS is the best sled out there and i will NEVER choose anything else.

Just thought I'd start this for kicks, comments on the show & tell thread make it harder to see all of the great work and so many reply on the challenge threads. So this thread is to comment on non-challenge VC work.
oooh, great idea!
Gwen, I love Jordan's card....so cute how you got a picture of her holding it up too. Tell her she did a great job! and really love your baby card!!! (You already knew that though.)
Stephanie, are you working on a recipe book? That's something I'd LOVE to do one day. I made a small one for Sarah for a wedding present last year, but I want one for myself.
Jess and Carrie, I'm loving the digital cards!
Kayson 10-9-06 & Cohen 02-08-10
I just went back through the show & tell thread, and am blown away by all of the great pages! I can't reply to everyone as I really need to escape this computer right now. But I wanted to acknowledge everyone's hard work, what a great crop!!!!
