I don't tap my own phone. I don't xerox postcards before I mail them back from vacation. I don't take a voice recorder when I go out with friends. And I don't have a copy machine at home to duplicate hand written notes I may send.
But if I send a message of equal importance by e-mail, then my e-mail program will automatically save a copy of every one of these messages.
E-mails I don't need waste my time. They increase the time it takes to search and browse through old email. They increase the time it takes for my email to "sync" when I want to go offline. To continue to save every e-mail I send perpetuates the unsustainable myth that as long as our actions are online they are "green".

Dental Veneers
A dental veneer is a thin covering that is placed over the front of the teeth. Veneers are made from ceramic, porcelain, resin-based composite, or acrylic. Custom-made shells are created by dental lab technicians and permanently bonded to the teeth.

Outlook: bright and sunny
Loud and About Column by Heija Nunn
Checking the weather forecast is not part of my daily routine. I know what to expect.
Just like my default plan for Seattle weather –layers, layers, layers – my own personal outlook has a default setting that is consistent, predictable and for the most part, safely reliable for the people I encounter each day.
This hasn't always been the case. I cringe when I think back to my early days working at Nordstrom. My daily prep included too much makeup, a fashion forward costume and a sourpuss look on my face – because I thought it would help make me look mature and serious and not 18 years old. I wasn't fooling anyone and I looked ridiculous.
Each day I passed a man, who was either homeless or stuck in a loitering rut in the alley between my apartment and the bus stop. I ignored him as I stomped by in my high heels, pursed lips and pale pink wool Calvin Klein overcoat. But despite my best efforts to suffocate him with clouds of Avon's Imari perfume, he still managed to make consistent fun of my Miss Serious face. He tried his best to turn my frown upside down; "Smile, baby!" "Ah honey, what's wrong?" "It's a beautiful day, be happy!" "Just smile! It'll be okay!"
He was relentless. And he was totally right. I finally stopped fighting my personal atmospheric tendencies and allowed myself to smile and answer "peachy' or "d-e-lightful" when someone asked how I was.
Our recent last minute trip to California reminded me again how much our expectations and point-of-view impacts our experiences.
At the end of a long and fruitless shopping adventure in search of summer garb, a very grumpy Sweetie-Boy met Joanna, a salesperson in The Rail at the Bellevue Nordstrom whose optimism, humor, efficiency and willingness to protect him from the world's harshest critics – his siblings – won his undying loyalty.
Venom Pen was unable to resurrect his new iPod Nano after its second trip through the wash. He was prepared to fork over birthday and Xmas dollars to buy his own replacement, but after some very positive interactions with employees at the Bellevue and University Village Apple stores he was surprised and delighted to leave for vacation with his personal funds intact, thanks to Apple's stated goal to "surprise and delight our customers."
Late Wednesday evening, Sistafoo danced with excitement as we stood in line to check into the Disneyland Hotel. When it was our turn, her enthusiasm transformed into thrilled amazement as the suddenly shy Sistafoo was escorted around the counter, assigned a Jr. Cast Member Badge and allowed to use the computer to check-in our family. When she was done she received a thank you card, a personalized badge and a memory to last a lifetime, all because she didn't try to hide her enthusiasm behind a faux mask of stoicism.
Throughout our trip to Disney and beyond, we encountered person after person determined to make the world a sunnier place – from advice from strangers and employees on where to eat, what to do, where to stand for the best view to subtle nods and gentle persuasion to help avoid expensive mistakes.
As hard as it is sometimes to endure foul weather, tolerate foul personalities, or conquer foul circumstances, I try to remember that the most important forecast is the one we predict for ourselves, so I think I will keep planning for the same outlook, the same forecast, regardless of where I live, or where I visit: Sunny with a chance of surprise and delight.

Your picks for best and worst TV theme songs?
What are your picks for best and worst TV theme songs? Tim Callahan
I'd wax on about Charles in Charge or The Facts of Life, but once George spoofed the theme from The Greatest American Hero on Seinfeld, those defiantly catchy '80s tunes became official kitsch. Of the current crop, the Von Bondles' rager ''C'mon C'mon'' works perfectly for the macho Rescue Me, and They Might Be Giants' ''Boss of Me'' Is a manic, bratty match for Malcolm in the Middle. On the downside, Gilmore Girls' Carole King-Louise Goffin ditty ''Where You Lead, I Will Follow'' is too maple-sugar snuggly for that sharp show, and while I dig the visuals that open Desperate Housewives, Danny Elfman's underlying instrumentals are jarringly reminiscent of his Simpsons theme.

Gary marina access road finally to be built this summer
By Michael Gonzalez Post-Tribune correspondent March 7, 2013 9:06PM
More lawyers hired by city
Lawyers continued to fare well in City Hall during Wednesday's Board of Public Works and Safety meeting.
The board approved an open-ended, $10,000-a-month contract for Barnes and Thornburg, a legal behemoth with 500 attorneys based in Indianapolis, to advise Mayor Karen Freeman-Wilson on infrastructure development and other matters.
Lawyers from the firm already have made their presence known. Nearly two weeks before the board approved the contract, attorney D. William Moreau Jr. represented Freeman-Wilson via phone during an ad hoc committee's meeting on possibly establishing a public-private partnership to manage the Gary/Chicago International Airport.
According to a letter from Moreau to Freeman-Wilson, he and his colleagues will work on "the evaluation of the City of Gary's capital assets and ways to maximize the value of those assets to the citizens of Gary."
While the $10,000 monthly fee includes mileage, postage and other "out-of-pocket expenses," Moreau wrote the firm expects "to devote hours to this engagement that will far exceed $10,000 per month in value."
Moreau also noted his firm has represented a number of entities that work with Gary, including Majestic Star casinos, the Gary Airport, Indiana-American Water and VC Energy, the firm that owns the former Georgia Pacific plant, a site that was eyed for an alternative energy facility until Wednesday.
"Barnes and Thornburg will provide advice on the development of Gary assets," Freeman-Wilson said in an email Thursday. "We will specifically look at the Genesis Center, Buffington Harbor, Hudson & Campbell, the Gary/Chicago International Airport, the RailCats stadium and other community assets to determine the best short-term and long-term strategy. The contract will be funded from my professional services budget."
Updated: May 9, 2013 2:26AM
GARY — The much-contested casino marina access to and beyond Buffington Harbor will see its last phase begin later this year after the Board of Works and Safety on Wednesday approved state funding for the project.
The board also deferred approving a federal loan request from a nonprofit housing company to build low-income housing.
Gary Planning Director Dwayne Williams, who also is the newest member of the Board of Works, said contracts to finish building the marina access road should be awarded in mid-summer, and work should wrap up in about 18 months.
The Indiana Department of Transportation will foot the bill on the early work of this last phase with $1.5 million to start.
"This is just completing our portion of the contract," Williams said. "There's going to be more money to come for that road. (INDOT has) made a commitment to the city to make sure we're going to build that road."
The road has been a point of ongoing contention between Gary and the owners of the Majestic Star casinos. Casino officials have said the city was responsible for building an access road that begins at Cline Avenue and takes motorists past the casino toward an industrial site.
The board put off until next week a request by C.R. Works, a local nonprofit, for a forgivable $900,000 loan in U.S. Housing and Urban Development money. The request was made through the city's Community Development department, which disseminates such federal funds.
According to documents submitted to the board, C.R. Works, which soon will open the first phase of a low-income housing community called Comfort Vilas, received similar loans in 2010 and 2011.
In other business, the board approved a move by the city's Public Works Department to buy salt through the state of Indiana's quantity purchasing agreement, where municipalities pool their resources to buy commodities at a locked-in price.
The board also amended a contract with Comprehensive Care Inc. and Comprehensive Therapy, two occupational health firms, for employment and random drug screens, accident investigations and other on-the-job inquiries.
The new contract extends the companies' work through the end of May and increases its compensation by $15,000, topping out at $25,000.

No votes yet, be the first!
That some days I'm a windshield
And other days I'm just a lucky bug
As cold iron rails leave
Old mossy trails through the countryside
The crow and the bean field
Are my best friends but
Boy, I need a hug (Boy, I need a hug)
Cuz my heart stops without you
There's something about you
That makes me feel alive
If the green left the grass on the other side
(I would make like a tree and leave)
But if I reached for your hand
Would your eyes get wide?
(Who knew the other side could be so green?)
Don't remind me
I'm a chickadee in love with the sky
But that's clearly not a lot to crow about
Cuz when the stars silhouette me
I'm scared they'll forget me
And flicker out
I chase honey but I haven't seen the hive
Yeah I didn't look, I didn't even try
But still my heart stops without you
'Cause there's something about you
That makes me feel alive
We are honey and the bee
Backyard of butterflies surrounded me
I fell in love with you
Like bees to honey
So let's up
And leave the weeping
To the willow tree
And pour our tears in the sea
I swear
There's a lot of vegetables out there
That crop up for air
Yeah I never thought
We were two peas in a pod
Until you suddenly bloomed
Then I knew
That I'd always love you
(Oh I'd always love you too)
(Chorus x2)
And if I reached for your hand
For the rest of my life
(Who knew the other side could be so green?)
(Grazie a Costanza Bau Gini per questo testo)

Inspection station gears up for AirCheck emissions testing
By 05/01/2003 00:00:00
The Ellis County Press
PALMER - Kenny Caldwell has been working around the clock getting vehicles inspected before today's AirCheck emissions testing start-up.
Caldwell, who owns K&R Service Center in Palmer, has dropped about $40,000 into new equipment mandated by the state for the new AirCheck equipment.
'We could still do auto work [if we didn't upgrade], but wouldn't be able to do inspections,' he said.
The state has implemented many air pollution-control programs in the past, but Caldwell believes the new AirCheck system will stay.
'They [state] guaranteed me five years, and after that, they would pay me [for the equipment],' he said. 'But look at the brown haze up in Dallas…this program should last.'
The Dallas-Fort Worth Metroplex has high levels of air pollution, and state and federal statistics have shown the air quality to be poor, one of the reasons Texas has implemented the new emissions program.
The federal Environmental Protection Agency, as well as the Clean Air Act, has also pressured state lawmakers in passing these regulations.
'We've been inspecting cars since 7 a.m. each morning, just two of us,' Caldwell said, who has owned his shop for six years. 'There's one after another coming in. It's been real busy.'

One Year Since Diagnosis and Still Going Strong
3 comments:
What a great picture of a beautiful dog! So happy for you and Mosey. I lost my sweet little lab Tawney last week to the cancer. But we did get an entire 11 more months with her after her diagnosis so we are so grateful for that. My fingers are crossed that you get many many more days, weeks, months and years with your sweet Mosey.ReplyDelete
- AnonymousOctober 29, 2012 at 6:01 PM
Hi Chrissy, just checking in to see how Mosey is?ReplyDelete
Currently going through treatment of my little maltese x shiztzu and he's just come out of remission and we are investigating other treatment options and the MOPP protocol is one of our options.
Chris - email me at cgralow at gmail. MOPP was highly effective for Mosey. I am sure my vet would be happy to talk with your vet. Mosey is a very strong, calm dog. If your dog is the same, MOPP might be good. There WERE some complications at the beginning of the treatment with white blood cells crashing, but she bounced back within 24 hrs. I believe it's the mustargen that helped Mosey. It's been a year and a half since her diagnosis now!Delete

Also works great during summer months as a super-light moisturizer for normal to oily skin with dry patches.

Given Paula's unique overview of the cosmetics industry, 30+ years of research, and earnest desire to help people find the best products for their skin-care needs, creating her own products was a natural extension of her work. Paula's Choice range of products are designed to meet the needs and preferences of just about every skin type and concern imaginable using only proven ingredients substantiated by published research.
Paula's Choice products provide:
Paula's Choice products and Paula's work is routinely praised by noted dermatologists and other professionals. New York-based dermatologist Dr. Debra Jaliman stated that "I have a lot of respect for Paula Begoun and the way she thoroughly researches her subject.

Syracuse postgame: hats surrounded by fists
They had a talk two, two and a half weeks ago as John Persson was coming back from injury, about how he has to play, the physical game, the skating, the work on the boards.

Syracuse from afar: Liveblog 1
The first road game happens to be a little farther away than we go nowadays, so we'll be listening in and dropping comments here occasionally.

Playoff Crunch
So in this odd season when they battle for life and struggle against teams in last place, Bridgeport sweeps the de facto Calder Cup champs. Goals for Scott Campbell, Nino Niederreiter (PP) and, in overtime, Brock Nelson, tying Rhett Rakhshani's team rookie record of 24 goals. Assists on all three to Matt Donovan. Matt Watkins […] [Read More]

Let's go to the videotape
Bridgeport's video work last night into today included the usual; a look at Syracuse's power play, sure, and a look at the chances they didn't capitalize on last night at Albany. But it also included something different. "We went over all the goals we've scored this season," Scott Pellerin said. "On a loop, we just […] [Read More]
Black Sunday
The Crunch make their one visit, and they do it in white because the Sound Tigers are wearing black on Sunday. Being 0-2 in those things, you'd think Bridgeport might change up the luck. Ah well. The lines at the start look familiar, though that Backman-Cizikas-Riley line from yesterday appears to get another crack. One […] [Read More]
The peanut vendors are standing up to them
I've already strained a metaphor here, but what the heck. Bridgeport stood up to Syracuse's high-powered offense. They blocked shots, got in lanes, gave Kevin Poulin a look at the most dangerous shots. And those dangerous shots happened. And Poulin stopped pretty much everything he possibly could've stopped. And it all happened, in the first […] [Read More]
If Bridgeport wins tonight, its magic number will be no higher than five for the division; it will also clinch a finish no worse than sixth. If Bridgeport loses tonight, well, hold off on all that.

No Syracuse for us. We'll be listening to Jason Lockhart on AHL Live (Edit: try this) and following Lindsay Kramer and Jamie on Twitter. Bridgeport goes for its seventh consecutive win on the road.

Book hunting marathon #1
My cousin Dianne and I love bargain book hunting; the cheaper, the better. Our favorite haunt is Book Sale, a bargain book store chain with lots of branches across the metro and even in the provincial malls. No week goes by without at least one visit to a Book Sale branch (or else we suffer from withdrawal symptoms), so we pretty much have our own system of trawling through the wonderful jumble of books for bargain treasures.
We were gabbing on the phone last Friday when we got the crazy idea of hopping through various Book Sale outlets across the MRT-EDSA line to go bargain book hunting. We set a generous budget of P500, roped Flipper friend Marie into joining us, and set off on Saturday morning for our book hunt.
We plotted out several stations on the MRT-3 Line that had Book Sale branches.
We went to six branches in all: Farmer's Plaza and Shopwise in Cubao, EDSA Central and Star Mall along Shaw Boulevard, AlphaLand in Magallanes and Makati Cinema Square along Pasong Tamo. Originally we included the Megamall branch (in between Ortigas and Shaw Stations) but we were so exhausted after the first leg that we decided to bypass it.
I kept well under the ceiling budget because it wasn't a good time to go Book Sale hopping — the stores were freshly stocked with multiple copies of certain titles, not yet marked down, indicating a new shipment still in circulation (in a month or so, we bet they'll be marked down :D) so there weren't as many bargain books on hand.
I got five books and some nice stationery, Dianne got twice the number of books I did, while Marie steadfastly bought just the one book (originally she swore she wouldn't buy anything!), but we all still managed to have a lot of fun.
Here, some photos from our book hunt:
Here's Dianne with her first batch of books
I got this nifty stationery set for P40!
Marie, making her way to another Book Sale branch
Another plushie book for my collection!
Dianne, engrossed in a culinary magazine
A fluffy murder mystery and another Eloise book for my collection
Weary bookhunters having their steak!
And the last of my loot: a hardcover Madeleine L'Engle and a book on French words.
Bargain book hunting is always fun, whether you bring home one book or ten! We're planning another book hunt, maybe next month, in another part of the metro (SM Manila – Rob Place – Pedro Gil – Times Plaza – Harrison Plaza) — holler if you want to join us! :)
This entry was posted by Sumthinblue on 18 July, 2010 at 6:44 pm, and is filed under Bargain Books. Follow any responses to this post through RSS 2.0.You can leave a response or trackback from your own site.
Another comment from MomofThree, sent via email (anyone else having trouble commenting? — let me know):
How fun! I know the thrill of getting bargain books. My local library (they have a book store of books that people donated) has a $4 book bag sale every 1st Sat. of the month. All you can fit in a grocery bag is yours! This month I got my prized book …Standing for Something by Gordon B. Hinckley.
Great site you have here. I like that I get to see part of the Philippines through your eyes.
Take good care,
Jinky @booksthattugtheheart.blogspot.com
Blooey! What fun you had! BookSale is my fave haunt, too, but we have only two here in Bacolod. And I don't know anyone who would gladly go hunting with me. So book buying for me is usually a solitary activity. Boo hoo hoo!
"No week goes by without at least one visit to a book Sale branch (or else we suffer from withdrawal symptoms)…"
I agree! I can't live without BookSale! It's integral to my mall visits. Ha, ha!
Hi Sumthinblue! This is also my adventure! Hindi kaya nagkasabay tayo kahapon sa Booksale Farmers? :) When I have the money ganyan din ang gawa ko, take the LRT and visit the Booksale branches. I usually hunt for Children's books and YA books particularly the Caldecott and Newberry medal winners.
Yesterday at Farmers I was able to buy 4 children's books (2 caldecott medal & 2 honor medal). Yung isa signed copy pa!
Mabuhay ang Booksale! :)
Hello Philyoh! Bihira ako umabot sa Farmers, but I do the rounds of the Makati branches, as well as Harrison Plaza, MOA and Rob Ermita.
I do collect Caldecotts also, pero super kuripot ako. I only buy a picture book over P100 when I won't be able to sleep if I don't get it. Hehe did you get the signed Flotsam? I got it a couple weeks ago at Cash and Carry. Marami ata in stock.

The new season begins with a special case that leads the duo to the Consulate-General of Japan in Hong Kong. It's the first time for 'Aibou' to expand its setting to a foreign location since they went to London in the second season. Mizutani commented that it perfectly suits inspector Sugishita Ukyo, since Hong Kong used to be a British colony and Ukyo is interested in everything British.

Sometimes, but not all times, I transport. Not through vibes but through words. Words, blessings & curses, my only master. Kinda sorta maybe umm yeaa. I must admit, but I do not wish to do so. It is useless to resist us; I believe that is Information Society. Reminds me of that trip so long ago, my only trips being shrooms or acid or ecstasy. Fuckin provincial fuckin New Yorker, I am woman hear me moan.
Yea that trip, thas a good story. I'm kinda nowhere today so I'ma just type away. What was it. Sheeit. 90s was a blurr. I'm thinkinn 97 mmmaybe. Don't matter anyhow. Let's say it was 97. It was Palladium. Mighta been the last time I was there before they turned my house into a dorm. Yea so it was a tea party, damn, tea party. Thas me. I'm not up for three days, I just wanna dance on Sunday afternoons. So yea, it was Junior and it was classics and my boy hookt up the shrooms and it had been so long since I had done em that I wasn't even thinking clearly.
Chomp. Chomp.
My boy goes into the shower.
Chomp Chomp Chomp.
Chomp Chomp. I should leave him somethinn.
He comes out steaminn. "Bitch you ate everything."
"Nooo I left you some."
"Bitch, when that hits don't come to me for nothinn."
La di da di, we like to party. Walk across Fourteenth and it's not even five in the afternoon. I wish I could remember what I was wearing. I like that. Let's say yellow stretch Versace jeans and, damn, were those DKNY sneakers? Maybe. Shit, 90s. Like I was taking fashion tips from Total, maybe. I think I was wearinn that really cute Blumarine shirt silkscreened with a photo of the beach cause I never went. Check it out, 90s was my label decade. I don't drop names today cause who tha fuck checkinn for Forever 21?
So yeaa. We on the dancefloor and I remember it so clearly. I was lookinn at the, what did we call girls back in the day? Breeders. Shit. We was mean. Mean girls but I was the only girl. Right. So I was lookinn at the breeders and I remember this thought. "I swear to God I hope I don't become that girl who grows up talking about 'back in the days.'" Mmm. Jokes on me, but moving onn.
I remember thinking this cause I was turning up my nose at some girls I didn't know who would one day be married and put their kids photos on FB or some such youu knoww. And me, I knew I was neva gonn be that girl. I already knew. I was gonna stay dancinn and somehow…
Well, yeaa, we on the floor and thas when Junior set it off. Helicopter started to lift and ohhhhh mahhhhh fuuuuhkinnnnn shhhhhhit.
It came on. Just. Like. That. Real fuckinn heavy. Like can't dance, can't stand but can't think either. Just. Ummm. Shit. I followed my boy over to the bar. Remember the bar? Why was that ceiling so low. It looks real low in my mind's eye. Felt it closing in on me. And I stood there as my boy talked to that guy and that guy said hello and out my mouth came that. That. That damn girl.
"I'm sooooo fuckt up right now," I said feeling like I was going to slide through the carpet. I was kinda embarrassed for me, right. I mean. I was a cokehead in stilettos. Way more chic. This shroomy ass hippie in sneakers was soo 2012.
Well, anyway. I remember we were over by the sofas and I could not take it. I heard something I never forgot and it went like this:
It was ghastly. It spooked the hell outta me. Talk is so fuckinn fuckinn cheap.
I remember I made it down to the bathrooms. Remember the bathrooms? And the tile floors? And no one was there and I slid into a stall. And I remember being like, how the fuck did I get my panties twisted up. But I didn't realize this til I was back on the dancefloor and then umm, how do I get em out.
Good lawd.
That occupied me for a good long while. Cause the walls were melting. We're walking around the dancefloor and I saw the columns dripping. And I saw these muscle boys, you know the ones that can't reach they heads. And I saw their skeleton underneath the muscle and flesh and I saw their skulls grinninn. Ohhhhh. Man. I was the only one who saw them dead. They were carryinn on. And me, I was leaning against the column, holding it up for dear life, thinking it's very possible I will slide through the carpet this time.
Remember the carpet? I hope you don't. You only met it on nights like this one. Lawdamercy on all our souls.
Then. Then what. After that Go Ask Alice moment where my atheist ass was callinn out to God, Just please don't let me go out like this, we went upstairs and my boy deposited me on one of those nice stools and I sat there watching the air. Cause I swear. Neva happened to me before but synethesia is real. Grab and eighth and see what I'm talkinn bout. Fa reaaaal.
Every song had a pattern and every pattern had a rhythm and I remember just a few of them but Square Biz is neon on black. Pink neon lips and blue neon cars and red neon hearts and everything is flashinn on and off. And Running is silver, black, plum, and grey and it's cartoon industrial and I remember the African patterns and the Japanese prints dancing but I don't remember the songs.
It went on like this and this it went on and eventually I found my way back to the dancefloor. And that's when it happened. When the Universe unfolded, and it let me ask questions and it gave me the answers to the meaning of life. And with each question, the secret unfolded before my dilated eyes and don't you know the only fuckinn question I remember is the last one and it went like this:
Why can't it always be this way?
Because nothing would ever get done.

Lynn Espejo Indicted For Stealing $611,000
Posted 5/2/2011 12:00 am
Updated 2 years ago
(Update, March 13, 2013: In July 2012, the U.S. Attorney's Office in Little Rock dismissed the 59-count criminal indictment against Lynn Espejo, the former medical office manager accused of embezzling more than $610,000. Also, the doctors doing business as Practice Management Services Inc. have similarly dropped their parallel civil suit against Espejo and her husband, North Little Rock CPA Pancho Espejo.)
Original story:
Heard about a 59-count indictment for wire fraud against a former medical office manager?
A federal grand jury found probable cause to charge Lynn Espejo with stealing more than $611,000 from two medical groups in Little Rock.
Espejo allegedly embezzled $571,842 from Practice Management Services Inc. between May 21, 2007, and Sept. 9, 2010.
She also allegedly embezzled $39,256 from Blanford Medical Services Inc. between July 17, 2007, and Aug. 11, 2009.
The indictment outlines a scheme in which Espejo allegedly overpaid vendors and transferred the refunds to her personal bank account. According to the indictment, she attempted to cover her crime by creating bogus monthly financial records.
The case is set to begin jury trial in U.S. District Court in Little Rock on Jan. 17.

Bobby Ray creates amazing works of art out of a basic piece of hunting gear—turkey calls. His calls have won national contests and one sold at a subsequent auction for more than $900. But the vast majority of his calls, more than he can count, have been given away to friends, family, and charitable causes. "I tell my kids: Good things happen when you do good things," he said.

I am trying to update my title block with a new company logo. I am saving a title block from Inventor 2010 to 2010 Autocad DWG file. We have some older drawings done in CAD so I like to use the same format and title block.
However since Inventor 2010 when I save the title block to a .DWG. and then try to edit attributes with ATTEDIT, I cannot. The fields are grayed out and will not let me enter any input. There is just a little window to the right labeled .... and pulls up a text editing dialog box.
Comparing the old title block I created from Inventor 2009 and converted to .DWG in which the attributes still work fine. Then looking at the details from 2010 compared to 2009 file the only thing I can see different is in the edit attributes dialog box is, under MODES. For the 2010 file Multiline text is checked and grayed out so I cannot turn it off. In the 2009 file that works correctly, this is not checked off.
I have read many posts here with the same problem, and unfortunately nobody ever replies back with a valid answer or how to fix it. So is there a way I can fix this? Or is there a way I can just delete the logo inside the title block and keep all the attributes valid and use the old title block, since the new way from 2010 when exporting sucks and you cannot edit anything.
Any help would be appreciated, I posted this topic like last year and nobody replied back, and ended up just using my old version. If I still had 2009 Inventor I would just save it from there and everything would be fine now, but having 2010 only installed now I cannot get around this problem.
I ran into the same issue with Inventor symbols in an exported drawing a while ago. You can edit the multiline attributes, but you have to click that little button to get to the text editor. It's easy to miss if you don't know about it, and a nuisance even if you do.
Because of that, I did a little research at the time to figure out how to fix it. I came across (don't remember where, or I would give credit) a LISP routine that converts the multiline attributes back to standard single-line.
Code for the routine is:
; command that converts multi-line attributes to standard attributes (defun c:convertMattribute (/ ss i) (vl-load-com) (if (setq ss (ssget '((0 . "ATTDEF")))) (progn (setq i 0) (repeat (sslength ss) (vla-put-mtextattribute (vlax-ename->vla-object (ssname ss i)) :vlax-false ) (setq i (1+ i)) ) ) ) (princ) )
Ah ok, I see how it works now. I just know some of the drafters here won't like it, cause they were used to the way before where you could just tab from one field to the next in the attribute box instead of having to click on this text editor thing each time.
I am not experienced with CODE, so I wouldn't know how to implement that. Also, the code would have to be added to each individual persons machine correct? Thanks for the reply though. Why does Autodesk have to change something that worked so much easier before in all previous releases...
Don't know why it changed - prior to your post, I didn't even know that it used to be different. My previous employer didn't use AutoCAD, so I didn't ever attempt to perform this task until version 2010. As far as I knew, it had always been like this.
The code is AutoCAD LISP code, so you'll actually run it in AutoCAD after the export from Inventor. Create a .txt file (Notepad), copy and paste in the code I provided, and save it. Then change the file extension from .txt to .lsp. That's all it takes to make it a LISP file, but you still have to load it into AutoCAD.
In AutoCAD, go to Tools, Load Application. Browse to and select your .LSP file, then click Load. Close the dialog box. You can then type the name of the command (convertmattribute) to fire off the code as though it were a command. If this is a routine you will use often, you can also add it to your "startup suite", so that it loads automatically when AutoCAD starts.
When you run the command, it will prompt you to select objects, so then you just pick your block, then hit Enter. All of the multiline attributes in the selected blocks should convert back to normal ones.
The downside of this solution is that it is an after-the-fact fix. I have found no way to PREVENT it from making these attributes multiline - this just turns them back. As a result, if you use this, you will have to go in and do this on every drawing you export.
As for loading it on every machine - it would need to be on the machine of every Inventor user that exports stuff to AutoCAD, so they can fix it before giving it to your AutoCAD drafters. Your pure AutoCAD guys wouldn't necessarily need to have it installed, unless you want them to be able to do the conversion themselves.
I just tried what you mentioned with the lisp file. I copied it to notepad, saved it as .lsp. I was able to load in in autocad successfully. I opened the file having issues with, entered the command convertmattribute, selected the title block, and the same window comes up as before. Not being able to add any text to the fields without hitting the text editor button to the right. So sorry, it didn't work for me.
Okay, sorry. It's been a while since I've used this, and left out some steps.
Rather than running the routine and picking a block, edit the block first, then run the LISP routine and pick the attributes directly.
This will fix the attributes in the block definition, so new instances of the block should work as expected. However, the instance already placed will be out of sync with the new definitions, and will still act like multiline. Enter "battman" in the command line to get to the block attribute manager. Select the title block in the dropdown list, and click the Sync button.
It should then work as a normal single-line attribute.

New ad fad: pennies for your thoughtsPUBLISHED: 01 May 2012 00:33:09 | UPDATED: 02 May 2012 11:16:28PUBLISHED: 01 May 2012 PRINT EDITION: 01 May 2012

Social Loot's Gary Munitz says users are paid based on friends' response to their posts, not just for posting random promotions. Photo: Tomasz Machnick
Ever wondered why one of your social network friends was so enthusiastic about the new restaurant that just opened up? Why they suddenly broke off from a stream of Tweets or Facebook updates about their weekend escapades to tell you about the great deal they just got from an online shoe store?
Chances are they have tapped in to a new wave of online advertising where a healthy number of Facebook friends or Twitter followers are turning individuals into their own mini-media empire, where their thoughts are no longer free, but paid for.
At the heart of the emerging trend is an Australian start-up called Social Loot, an online marketing system backed by investors including former iSOFT founder Gary Cohen's Marcel Equity. It has just begun laying down a new base in Silicon Valley after racking up more than 1000 Australian clients and 40,000 local users, and is at the heart of an emerging debate about editorial ethics on rapidly growing new media platforms.
Social Loot is a seemingly simple marketing concept, backed by sophisticated algorithms.
In a nutshell, individuals sign up to the Social Loot website and are assigned companies to promote to their circle of online friends. They are then paid on a sliding scale based on the amount of traffic their posts generate, and the quality of referrals and number of resulting sales. This is tracked by a code embedded in the links promoted by Social Loot's spruikers.
Company founder Gary Munitz has just shipped out to Silicon Valley to hire US staff, and believes his company is in the sweet spot of the current social media gold rush. It has, he says, one of the few demonstrable business models in an industry bursting with revenue-free potential.
Among the companies currently paying Social Loot to direct traffic their way are online retailers Kogan Australia, DealsDirect, Ozsale, OO Australasia and clothing brands such as Saba.
"The basic principle is that instead of having to be a guy who owns a radio station with a million listeners, every single person can be a brand advocate," Munitz says.
"Our job is to identify what brand they are best suited to be an advocate for, because social media has allowed everybody to have access to a reasonable-sized audience that they can get a message out to in an instant – everyone is now the owner of their own radio station, to a degree."
He says that, of the social media platforms, Twitter has the best sales conversion rate, but Facebook produces the greatest volume of traffic.
But, just as commercial radio stations have had to work their way through cash-for-comment scandals, questions about the ethics of presenting opinions in cyberspace due to commercial rewards are beginning to emerge in the social media world.
The Australian Broadcasting Corporation's Media Watch program raised concerns last week about celebrities including chef Matt Moran, TV presenter Sophie Falkiner and singer Shannon Noll extolling the virtues of visiting Kangaroo Island in South Australia to their legions of Twitter followers.
Undeclared to their readers was the fact they were being paid by the South Australian Tourism Commission to advocate the destination as though it was their natural opinion.
It follows a trend, largely in the US, for celebrities with huge social media followings to be paid up to $US10,000 per commercial tweet.
Bond University associate professor of marketing Stephen Holden puts celebrity commercial tweets in the same advertising category as product placement. He says Social Loot users' behaviour should be largely policed by friends who'll "call out" spruiking of dodgy products.
"Marketers for many years have known that word-of-mouth is very important, particularly for things like restaurants, and this is really formalising it," Holden says.
"Some people will get angry if they are asked to stop and think about their friends making money off them, but the reality is that most of us quite happily go to a restaurant that someone recommends. When we later find out that it is run by their cousin, it doesn't really matter to us as long as it was a good one."
Munitz accepts criticism that Social Loot is part of a rapid dilution of the purity of communication on emerging platforms. He rejects assertions that users are encouraged to spam their friends or mislead them.
"You don't get paid to make the post . . . You get zero unless your friends independently like the message and are genuinely interested enough to click," Munitz says.
"So it works fundamentally differently to spam or random cash-for-comment, the messages that you broadcast have to be relevant, not just about you earning revenue for saying random things."
This story has been amended from original publication to remove Spreets from the list of Australian Social Loot clients. Spreets asked the AFR to clarify that it undertook a trial with Social Loot and after the completion of the trial had no further plans to use its services.

text: Di Resta arrives in India unwell and makes way for Calado in FP1 24 October, 2013 James Calado at Buddh On the eve of the Indian Grand Prix weekend it has emerged Paul di Resta has arrived feeling unwell and is set to make way for James Calado in FP1 at the Buddh International Circuit. Earlier, it was no surprise when word got around the paddock in India that reserve driver Calado will be driving the Scot's car in initial Friday practice. "FP1 will see James Calado make one of his Friday appearances," the Silverstone based team said on Twitter. "He will sub for Paul, who will be back in the car for FP2." But Briton Calado said on his own Twitter account: "Due to Paul being unwell I will be driving tomorrow morning's FP1 session." Di Resta appeared sprightly on Thursday as he spoke to reporters, fending off suggestions his future is looking particularly uncertain. "I think in the midfield, nobody's certain anywhere at the moment," he said. It is reported the Scot could have the dreaded 'Delhi belly'. German reports suggested Felipe Massa's engineer Rob Smedley may be similarly afflicted. At the same time, di Resta's Force India teammate Adrian Sutil seemed to be dropping hints about his own future. "How do you know that I'm without a contract for 2014?" the German smiled to Formula 1's official website. When asked again about his chances of a 2014 deal, Sutil added: "Maybe it's already solved. Hopefully I can say more in the coming weeks." (GMM) Subbed by AJN.

Now that you have this bit of historical background, I'll explain the emergence of the submarine patent. Before 1995, when a patent was filed with the PTO, there was a possibility the issuance of that patent could be delayed for many years. Once the patent was granted, however, the inventor had 17 years of protection from the patent issue date. There are documented cases where patents were pending for more than 40 years before finally being issued.
Now, I'm sure most of you are thinking you'd like your patent to be issued as soon as possible to protect your idea. However, let's say you came up with an idea in 1970 for a "computer on a chip," and for various reasons, your patent wasn't issued until 1990. In the meantime, companies such as Texas Instruments (TI), Intel and others had also developed this technology and were selling it. Then, like a submarine, your patent finally emerged--with a filing date preceding their development. According to the former patent laws, TI and Intel would be violating your idea, and you'd be entitled to sue them for patent infringement.
The above example is actually a true one. Gilbert P. Hyatt was granted a patent in 1990 for the rights to the single-chip microcontroller that he filed a patent application for back in 1970. Although TI also had a patent for a single-chip microcontroller, because Hyatt's patent was filed before TI's, he now had the rights to the idea for the next 17 years. No one in the semiconductor industry had even heard of Hyatt or his patent until its 1990 issue. According to a June 1996 New York Times article, Hyatt had collected $70 million in royalties by 1992. But in 1996, a court decision overturned his patent.
The most notable inventor to benefit from submarine patents is Jerome H. Lemelson. An engineer who never manufactured any of his ideas and rarely even made prototypes, Lemelson accumulated nearly 500 U.S. patents throughout his life. Because he never personally tried to commercialize any of his ideas, his critics argue that he unfairly manipulated the patent system. He is criticized for coming up with ideas, then purposely delaying the issue of patents on them. In the meantime, companies would unwittingly spend their time and money developing the idea--only to have Lemelson's secret patents get issued, stealing their profits.
According to press reports, by 1994, Lemelson had collected more than $500 million in royalty fees from his patents, including those for bar-code scanning and the "machine vision" method used in assembly-line manufacturing. According to American Lawyer magazine, Lemelson's attorney, Gerald Hosier, made $150 million in fees in a single year from lawsuits resulting from Lemelson's submarine patents. Since Lemelson's death in October 1997, his heirs have continued the legal battles to collect more royalty money. Just this past June, the Lemelson Foundation reached an undisclosed settlement with Ford, General Motors and Chrysler over a patent battle that had been raging since 1989.

An important message on how to hear from God.

Tags: Knowing God's Will
