Currently, we have a 2000sf ranch in a rural-ish area. We were lucky to afford the house we have. It was a disaster and we have redone the flooring, the kitchen (complete gut and redo), windows, roofing, landscaping, etc.... It has been money and time consuming, but worth it for the area. Our equity has already doubled in about 4 yrs. Anyhow, we have a small, secondary 9x11 bedroom (3 bedroom house). It is really cramped. I was considering bumping out a wall by several feet (about 16" from the slider) to give our kiddo more space. I would also bump the corner of the perpendicular wall into the kitchen a little to hide the darned ceiling jog. I would infill with a 30" kitchen bookcase and base cabinet/counter area. It is hard to describe, but hopefully the pictures will help it make sense. We would also relocate the pellet stove to the corner left of the tv. I would also like to bring in a small window to the left of the tv to incorporate our wonderful view. Would that make the LR way too small, even though we are not using that space for anything? Oh...and forgive the muddy paw prints...can't get away from them between the rain, 3 dogs and 4 cats! |

And still further... This photo illustrates the extent of the remodel done before us. I am quite certain an architect wasn't hired, nor were any decent contractors. :( between the ceiling jog and the posts....ugh! |

Oh...forgot...looking to the right (down the hall...remodeled bedroom would be to the left...not through the door, that is our closet/pantry). |

And, just for comparison...the kitchen before we purchased the house (hubby and I are good at visualizing potential!). |

I understand what you're trying to accomplish, but personally I wouldn't want to give up space in my living area. There are other ways you could layout your LR furniture so that you could enjoy the view thru the slider and it would save you moving the fireplace and adding another window. I see you have a large window on the left wall and if this is a TV watching area I would hesitate adding more windows. Keep in mind that moving the fireplace would not be a minor expense and I'm not sure adding a jog in the hallway next to the kitchen would be an improvement. How old is 'kiddo' and how much time does he/she spend in the room? Is it possible to set up the 3rd bedroom as a playroom or study instead of trying to make the BR larger? |
- Posted by awoodwaring (My Page) on Sat, Apr 26, 14 at 13:14
All bedrooms are in use (2 kids and ourselves). We only have 6 more years w/ kiddo :(, which is why I vacillate. The ceiling jog is simply due to where they added on and went from stick frame to trusses (the add on). Even the roof line jogs up an inch (sigh). We would have to drop the ceiling to even it out; vaulting the ceiling would be cost prohibitive. Unfortunately even the sheet rock that is currently in place is uneven (varying up to an inch across the ceiling). Everything else, hubby and I could do ourselves (remove/build walls, move pellet stove, add windows, etc..). |
I think I'd leave it too. 9x11 isn't too small. Is there something else you could do IN the room to make it more livable for the kid? |
"We were lucky to afford the house we have"....I would search for minor ways to improve the home, including the son's room as kirkhall suggested. It seems what you are considering will cost you considerably, and given your statement above, it also sounds like you are not made of buckets of money. I wonder how you would think about this in 10 years especially since you have done so much already and are able to enjoy such significant improvements. |
- Posted by awoodwaring (My Page) on Sat, Apr 26, 14 at 22:50
I worry about what I'll think 10 yrs from now, too. I also know my child won't have all of the toys in another year or two, either. I wish I could figure out the darned ceiling. I have considered fake beams, soffits, adding sheet rock...ugh. It is just so oddly placed. That, and the shape of the LR. Long and skinny. I actually don't mind the size too much, just want more windows! |
- Posted by awoodwaring (My Page) on Sat, Apr 26, 14 at 22:56
Oh, and the cost isn't too bad...just over $2k (not including new flooring in the bedroom). Remember, we do most everything ourselves. |
- Posted by debrak2008 (My Page) on Sun, Apr 27, 14 at 17:26
My kids grew up in bedrooms that are 7x11. My 18 yr old is still in one. I would leave it alone. |

The Asian Conference on Business and Public Policy 2014
Rihga Royal Hotel, Osaka, Kansai Region, Japan
Thursday, November 20, 2014 - Sunday, November 23, 2014 (All Day)
Abstract Submission Deadline: July 1, 2014 October 1, 2014
Registration Deadline for Presenters: October 25, 2014
The International Academic Forum, in conjunction with its global partners, is pleased to announce the Fifth Annual Asian Conference on Business and Public Policy 2014, to be held from November 20-23, at the Rihga Royal Hotel & the adjoining Osaka International Conference Center, Osaka, Japan.
Hear the latest research, publish before a global audience, present in a supportive environment, network, engage in new relationships, experience Japan, explore Osaka and Kyoto, join a global academic community…
2014 Conference Theme: "The Data-Enriched Enterprise"
The roles, interactions and boundaries between and among industry, government and the public have blurred as a result of global shifts and disruptive innovations. "Business as usual" may have little meaning in formerly socialist but newly privatized states, or in industries recently salvaged by government as "too big to fail". Underlying these dramatic changes are advances in technology and communications that cross both national and sector borders, generating data that informs policy, data that transcends traditional notions of volume, velocity and variety. The theme of this conference is "The Data-Enriched Enterprise", as data supplements or replaces intuition and creates new opportunities for businesses, for governments, and for partnerships.
This conference invites and encourages active participation of academics, policy-makers and business professionals. Functional areas of management, marketing, accounting, finance, logistics, operations all can make significant contributions to the conference theme and related concerns. Also encouraged are papers on public policy effectiveness, efficiency and equity, on tax and fiscal policy, and on their implications for wealth redistribution.
We look forward to seeing you at ACBPP 2014!

No. 08/439,595 filed on May 12, 1995 and now U.S. Pat. No. 5,721,832. The present invention relates to an improved interactive computerized electronic catalog system and more particularly to an improved method and apparatus for an interactive catalog system selectively addressable by a customer controlled telephone terminal for selectively accessing prerecorded audio and video catalog data for selective products or services and in which as a by-product of such utilization customer market profile data is selectively generated. The structure and operation of several diverse types of catalog systems are well documented in the patent literature and in the marketing and more particularly in the direct marketing arts literature. One seeking a description of representative types of catalog systems and equipment should see: Prodigy System Manual; U.S. Pat. No. 5,253,341 entitled "Remote Query Communications System"; U.S. Pat. No. 5,315,504 entitled "Electronic Document Approval System"; and U.S.. Pat. No. 5,315,508 entitled "Label Generating and Data Tracking System for Processing Orders"; or U.S. Pat. No. 4,792,849 entitled "Digital Interactive Communication System." Merchandising a wide variety of products and services by printed catalogs mailed to large numbers of prospective customers is a very large and rapidly expanding commercial market in essentially every industrialized country in the world. For example, a 1991 study by the Canadian Direct Marketing Association reports that in the U.S. there were 8 to 10,000 mail order companies which generate more than $51.5 billion dollars in annual revenue. The 1991 study further reported that more than 55% of American adults had purchased goods or services from a catalog during the preceding year and approximately 26% of the Canadian adults had also purchased such services from a catalog company. Based on the respective U.S. and Canadian populations, the growth potential in each country for the catalog mail order business is substantial. A recent article in the July 1994 issue of Popular Science magazine reports several U.S. companies are taking tentative steps to replace or supplement printed catalog materials with an electronic or computerized catalog. For example, a number of U.S. companies are reported to be test marketing a CD-Rom disc which includes digital catalog data for a number of popular U.S. retailers' catalogs. Onscreen catalog displays are beginning to appear in retail stores as an electronic variation of the free-standing catalog kiosk or catalog department. Other retailers are experimenting with floppy disc versions of catalogs which would permit potential users to browse electronic catalog data on their PC computers. The principal disadvantages of these earlier mail order or electronic catalog systems includes limitations on how, when and where the electronic catalog data can be viewed by a potential customer. Further, these earlier systems generally require a separate or multi-step ordering process which are often cumbersome and time comsuming. Further, interactive cable TV type systems often require each subscriber to use a dedicated channel for viewing video product information without the ability of the potential customer to select specific type products or services individually. It is an object of the present invention to provide an improved method and apparatus for an interactive, computerized electronic catalog system. It is another object of the present invention to overcome the difficulties, shortcomings and inefficiencies presented by the prior art electronic catalog systems. It is yet another objective of the present invention to provide an improved, cost efficient interactive electronic catalog process and system which provides efficient product and service selectivity to prospective customers and which selectively generates market profile data of user/customers. These and other objects and advantages of applicants' improved method and apparatus for an interactive computerized electronic catalog system can best be understood by reference to the following detailed description in conjunction with the accompanying drawings wherein: FIG. 1 is a logic block diagram of applicants' improved computerized interactive catalog system. FIG. 2 is a schematic block diagram of a telephone network terminal device utilizable in accordance with applicants' improved interactive computerized catalog system. FIG. 3 is a schematic block diagram of the central data processor system utilizable in accordance with another aspect of applicants' invention. FIG. 4 is a logic block diagram of an interactive online catalog system utilizable across international boundaries in accordance with another aspect of applicants' invention. FIG. 5 is a schematic block diagram of yet another aspect of applicants' improved interactive online catalog system. FIG. 6 is an algorithmic logic flow diagram illustrating the sequence of operating steps of applicants' improved domestic computerized interactive catalog system illustrated in FIG. 1 for selectively generating customer profile data. FIG. 7 is an algorithmic logic flow diagram of the operating steps of applicants' improved international computerized interactive catalog system illustrated in FIG. 4 for selectively generating customer profile data. FIG. 8 is a logic flow diagram illustrating the sequence of operation of applicants' improved computerized catalog systems illustrated in FIGS. 1 and 4. The present invention relates to an improved method and apparatus for selectively transmitting and displaying at a customer/user's telephone terminal interactive catalog data selected by the user. Applicants' improved interactive system comprises a central data processor system for storing and indexing electronic catalog data, including graphic and audio message data, memory means for storing and selectively retrieving specific portions of a retailer catalog data specified by a user request, a communication link to selectively establish a communication path between a user's telephone terminal and the central data processing system in response to a user inquiry, an online interactive service control processor responsive to user commands to control retrieval of specified catalog data identified in a user request, a user profile data processor for selectively generating customer profile data if authorized by the user/customer and order processing means responsive to a user order command for completing the accounting and order delivery tasks involved in fulfilling a user order. Referring to FIG. 1, there is shown a logic block diagram of an improved computerized, interactive catalog system in accordance with one aspect of applicants' invention. As shown, a telephone system 10 selectively connects a customer/user telephone terminal 13 with a telephone exchange 15 which may be of the type typically used in commercial telephone systems in the U.S. or Canada. In response to a customer dialing a predetermined assigned telephone number from his telephone terminal 13 which preferably is an 800 number used by businesses to permit customers/users to make a toll-free call to their business, the telephone exchange 15 connects the customer to the central data processor 17 which may, for example, comprise an IBM AS400 central data processor with an associated system memory and standard peripherals 16 and 18, for example an IBM model 3350 direct access disc storage array and 3380 controller which typically would provide several gigibytes of selectively addressable memory capable of storing digital video and audio catalog data. An online interactive controller 19, which may for example comprise an IBM AS400 I/O controller type is arranged to selectively couple input data to the central data processor 17 from terminals 11 and 12, which may comprise IBM PC XT computers coupled to the controller via any communication path 14, for example a telephone line or a modem in the terminal not shown. In response to a customer initiating a request by dialing a predetermined 800 telephone number, the telephone exchange 15 signals the central data processor 17 that a user has requested service and the processor 17 in response thereto retrieves the digital catalog data selected by the user inquiry for transmission via the telephone exchange 15 and communication link 10 to the user's terminal 13. As will be hereinafter more fully described in connection with FIGS. 6, 7 and 8, the user may select, for example, from a variety of catalogues or services from a menu transmitted from the central data processor for display at the user's telephone terminal 13. The user may select a specific catalog or service description from the menu, not shown, or may instead choose to select an entire catalog or list of services which the user can then browse through at his/her own speed. Alternatively, the user may specify any specific catalog product or service by name, category or number and the central data processor 17 would then transmit only the desired product or service data for display at the user terminal 13. In conjunction with each customer request received by the central data processor 17 from a user terminal 13, the central data processor, as will be hereinafter more fully explained in conjunction with FIGS. 7 and 8, the order processing system 18 and merchandising data and accounting processor 16 are activated. Specifically if a customer inquiry generates an order for a specific product listed in a retailer catalog, for example Regal Greetings & Gifts item #101, then the accounting and order processor 18, which for example may be an IBM PC XT computer with a 40-megabyte hard drive and associated peripherals and features, which are well known to those skilled in the computer arts, would be activated to process that order. For example, an order processor 18 may be located at Regal's warehouse in Ontario or may be coupled online via a normal telephone network to a site of the central data processor 17. The mail order processing procedures, as are known to those skilled in the direct marketing arts, include a credit approval procedure such as a credit card authorization check and a determination as to what federal or provincial or state taxes, if any, are applicable and the authorization for packaging-and shipping the selected product or service to the address specified by the user/customer in his order. As will be hereinafter more fully described in connection with FIGS. 6 and 7, the user/customer may elect to have his/her name deleted from the computer file after the order is completed by electronically activating a marketing data delete command code which will act to inhibit the inclusion of that particular user's name from any marketing data generated by the marketing data processor 16, which may, for an example be an IBM PC operatably coupled to communicate with the central data processor via any standard means, such as coax or twisted pair cable. Referring now to FIG. 2, there is shown a logic block diagram of a consumer telephone terminal 13 usable in accordance with applicants' invention. The telephone terminal 13 comprises a standard customer telephone unit which may be hard wired or portable and has a standard commercial handset 20 and touchtone pad 21, a display unit 24 preferably capable of displaying alphanumeric and graphic data and an audio unit 23, such as the speaker phone arranged to free the user from the normal telephone handset. There are several commercially available screen phones, for example Northern Telephone's Vista 300 phone or Bellcore's Mediacom System which both include digital data terminal features utilizable in accordance with applicants' improved interactive catalog system. Referring now to FIG. 3, there is shown a logic block diagram of the central data processor system 17 utilizable accordance with another aspect of applicants' invention. As described in conjunction with FIG. 1, the storage and selective transmission of electronic catalog data is controlled by data processor mainframe 27 which, for example, may comprise an IBM 4300 processor which is operationally coupled to a main memory 29 which may comprise an IBM 3350 direct access disc file system and an auxiliary memory 31 which may also comprise additional disc file or tape drive memory systems, as is well known to those in the computer arts. Electronic catalog data is digitized in a data entry system 33 which may comprise, for example, a document scanner or encoder which converts graphic data into digital video data and is then stored in the main memory 29 via either the auxiliary memory 31 or the mainframe processor 27. As will be hereinafter described more particularly with reference to FIGS. 4 and 5, the electronic catalog data is utilized by the data processor mainframe to generate an appropriate catalog menu for selective transmission to a user to briefly describe in varying levels of detail the catalog and service data available under a particular item. The communication between the mainframe processor 27 and the other units of the system are coupled through I/O processor 35 which, for example, may be an IBM 4300 I/O controller which has a plurality of I/O data channels. As shown, the marketing data and an accounting processor 16 may be directly linked to the mainframe processor as shown or alternatively could be-coupled via the I/O controller 35 to communicate thereby with the mainframe processor 27 as requested. As described above in connection with FIG. 1, the central data processor system 27 may be one of many commercially available computers, for example an IBM RISC 6000 processor or Compact System PRO which has, for example, a 64-megabyte RAM and which can accommodate several megabytes of disc drive memory. Referring now to FIG. 4, yet another aspect of applicants' improved interactive computerized catalog system is shown which incorporate unique and novel features to facilitate cross-border international catalog transactions. Broken line 39 symbolizes a portion of the U.S.-Canadian border with catalog order processor 41 being located in Canada and catalog order processor 43 being located in the U.S. and with a two-way full duplex communication link 45 connecting the U.S. order processor 43 with the Canadian order processor 41, which respectively may be of the various commercial types described above. For many reasons, Canada represents a relatively large untapped source of catalog buyers from the U.S. mail order companies' perspective. For example Canada is very large and more than 2/3 of Canadians live within 150 miles of the U.S. Canadian border. In addition because of spillover advertising and of their close relationship with the U.S., many Canadians truly appreciate American quality and product values. However, as promising as doing business in a foreign country seems, expanding mail order type catalog businesses into Canada isn't as easy as mailing into neighboring states. The fact is, despite its many similarities, Canada is a foreign country with a border to cross and Canada, as a foreign country, has its own federal, provincial and local laws and regulations. In addition, like their American counterparts, many Canadians clearly prefer merchandise directed to their specific needs, priced in their own currency and which does not necessitate dealing with customs and duty charges. For these and other reasons, for a U.S. company to circumvent these difficulties and establish a significant mail order catalog business in Canada would require a substantial expenditure to create the operational infrastructure and develop the necessary expertise required to do business in a foreign country. In addition, any foreign company would face substantial barriers to entry and be particularly concerned about a potential customer's reluctance to purchase from a foreign catalog company. Customers in such situations would rightfully have concerns about duties, taxes and exchange rates which could render the landed price elusive and surprising. In addition, many customers or potential customers would have a fear of dealing with a foreign company with no local stake in the market place or locally available customer service facility. While the system in FIG. 4 illustrates a U.S. catalog retailer doing business in Canada through a turnkey type operation offered by a Canadian company illustrated having catalog order processor 41 and the associated catalog system being operated as a resident Canadian company, applicants' system is equally applicable for any international cross-border transaction. In effect as illustrated, the Canadian company would conduct a retail catalog line of business in Canada for its American affiliate company. The American company's catalog data as viewed by Canadian users would be a "Canadianized" version of the American catalog with prices restated in Canadian dollars and with other appropriate marketing changes to better fit the U.S. company's catalog and product to the Canadian market. Thus, the Canadian company would-interface with its Canadian customers and represent its U.S. affiliate. As will be further described in connection with FIG. 8. the Canadian company would warrant and perform all customer services and assume all potential liability for taxes, custom duties and Canadian business expenses such as electronic catalog publication, distribution and delivery costs, etc. for products sold in Canada. With regard to FIG. 4 it will be understood that the customer telephone terminals 13 are similar in structure and function to those described in connection with FIG. 1. The prospective customer would initiate system operation by dialing a predetermined access number from his/her telephone terminal, e.g., an 800 number, and would be connected through the communication network 45 and, as described in connection with FIG. 1, to the catalog service processor 41 which is similar in structure and function to the central data processor 17 of FIG. 1. The menu of catalogs, catalog products and services available on the system is automatically transmitted from the catalog processor 41 to the subscriber telephone terminal 13 in response to a user's initial request, in a manner similar to that described in conjunction with FIG. 1. The customer then has the option to select a particular catalog or service or specify particular products or services from the menu which lists the various types of catalogs, products and services offered on the system. The electronic video and audio catalog data responsive to the user request will then be automatically transmitted from the catalog data processor 41 via the communication link 45 to the requestor user's terminal 13. If the subscriber/user selects a particular catalog or description of services to be mailed to his/her address, by selecting appropriate options on the telephone terminal 13, the catalog data processor 41 would signal catalog order processor 47, which is structurally and functionally equivalent to the data processor 17 described in conjunction with FIG. 1, and order processor 41 requests printed catalogs or materials ordered be processed and mailed to the requester. Alternatively, if the user requests a specific catalog product or service, for example a jacket or sporting events tickets, following the customary order processing procedures described in conjunction with FIGS. 1 and 8, including financial clearance or form of payment authorized by accounting processor 49, the order would be processed by domestic order processor 51 in a manner similar to that described above in connection with FIGS. 1 and 8. If the catalog selected by the user/subscriber involves a product or service listed in the "Canadianized" catalog data of the U.S. company affiliate, several additional process steps are required to effectuate the ordering by a Canadian customer of a U.S. based company's product for delivery to the Canadian customer. For a Canadian user to request a U.S. based product or service in accordance with this aspect of applicants' invention, the financial clearance and payment is an initial step as described in connection with FIGS. 7 and 8. After payment has been authorized and finalized, the Canadian order processor 41 communicates with the U.S. order processor 43 via communication link 45 and the order is finalized or placed with the U.S. company. All order processing procedures and order entry instruction originate at the Canadian order processor 41 in this example. The U.S. order processor which is structurally and functionally equivalent to that order processing system 17 of FIG. 1 then signals its order processing and fulfillment system 57, which packages the ordered products or items for that customer's specific order. The assembled orders for a given time period--e.g. each day, preferably would then be bulk packaged and shipped to the Canadian affiliate with the Canadian affiliate being solely responsible for Canadian customs, duties, taxes etc. and handling all transportation duties to introduce the assembled packaged orders into the Canadian delivery system, e.g. mail or express mail, as might be appropriate. As will be understood by those skilled in the direct marketing and catalog distribution arts, a two-way catalog system would merely require the duplication of the structure and function of the online interactive system illustrated in FIG. 4 on the Canadian side on the American side. Each company would then act as its neighbor's local turnkey catalog operation with reciprocal functions and tasks. Referring now to FIG. 5 in conjunction with the logic flow diagrams illustrated in FIGS. 6 and 7, there is illustrated another embodiment of applicants' improved interactive electronic catalog process and system which, for example, could be operated in a single hotel, or within a chain of geographically dispersed hotels or on a system of carriers, for example cruise ships, trains or airplanes. As was described above in conjunction with FIG. 1, a user/customer would establish a communication path from a user TV terminal 63 through the communication system 65 for example a PBX telephone exchange network, marketed by AT&T, Rohm and other companies, within a hotel to a catalog service data processor 67, which is functionally and structurally similar to the apparatus described in connection with FIGS. 1 and 4. The user terminal may be the type described in conjunction with FIG. 1 or alternatively may be an interactive hookup with a touch tone telephone and a cable TV system to selectively display the requested catalog data and menu etc. on a particular TV channel. As described in connection with FIG. 1, the catalog data processor 67 has a main memory 69 and a data entry terminal 71 which may be of the types described in connection with FIGS. 1 and 4. The electronic catalog data would be entered via data terminal 71 and stored in selectable memory locations in the main memory 69. Preferably applicants' system would include electronic catalog data for a plurality of different catalogs from different companies. In addition, data entry terminal 71 may be utilized to enter special on-sale or promotional messages, either audio and/or visual, or a combination thereof. As has herein described in conjunction with FIGS. 1, 6, 7 and 8, the user may browse through various catalogs or may select an individual catalog or request specific product categories or services by type or select a product by catalog product number. If a user elects to order a specific product or service, this is done under menu control at a user terminal and the menu would prompt the user to enter the appropriate order data codes via, for example, a touchtone telephone pad on the user terminal 63. In response to receipt of such user order data codes, the catalog data processing signals the accounting and order processor 73, which is similar in function and structure to the order and accounting processor of FIGS. 1 and 3, to exercise the appropriate order processing requests to clear the customer/user's financial payment authorization and initiate the order fulfillment procedure to have-the ordered products assembled and mailed to the address directed by the user/customer for that particular transaction. As herein above described in conjunction with FIGS. 1 and 3, the catalog data processor 67 in response to a customer/user order signals the marketing data processor 75, which is similar in structure and function to the marketing data processor described above in connection with FIGS. 1 and 4, its generate, unless the customer does not so authorize, customer profile marketing data in file 77 as described in FIGS. 6,7 and 8. Accounting and order processor 73, which is structurally and functionally equivalent to the accounting and order processor described in FIGS. 1 and. 3, initiates various accounting, financial payment authorization and/or-assembly and shipping procedures as described in conjunction with FIGS. 6,7 and 8. Accounting and order processor 73 as illustrated in FIG. 8 also in response to a command from the central data processor 67 initiates a software or program routine procedure to generate commission data for accumulating a commission file entry for the individual host hotel or site of the interactive catalog subsystem from which a particular order originated. As illustrated in FIG. 5, this differentiation of order source in order to develop an accounting commission credit for the party or entity from which site or which is responsible for originating a specific order can be accomplished by utilizing special codes for product orders originating from certain terminals, i.e. a code transmitted by the terminals 63 or alternatively by utilizing a prefix or suffix number or alphanumeric associated with a particular system host site which in conjunction with the catalog product number uniquely identifies the site as an originator of a specific product or service order. Referring now to FIG. 6 there is shown a composite logic flow diagram which illustrates the selective generation of customer profile data, if authorized by the customer, when placing an order on applicants' improved catalog system. As discussed above with reference to FIGS. 1 and 3, a customer inquiry is generated in the improved catalog online interactive system by placing a telephone call to a predetermined number, e.g. an 800 number. The customer's inquiry message upon receipt by the central data process of applicants' improved catalog system results in the generation and transmission to the customer of a menu of available catalogs and services. Preferably as part of the initial menu displayed at the customer's telephone terminal, a request for the customer's approval to include the customer's name and address in a customer data file is made. If the customer signals his approval, e.g. by depressing an appropriate key at the customer terminal, the customer's name and address will be automatically added to the customer data file. In addition, if authorized by the customer, the customer's profile data would be updated to include any order placed at that time. As shown in FIG. 6, if the customer does not approve the request but signals by the appropriate selection of a specified key on the customer's telephone terminal that the request is denied, then the customer's name and address and order data profile are not performed. In either event following the process by the system of the customer profile data request which may be approved or denied by the customer, the process continues and the financial authorization for a particular customer in connection with the order placed would be initiated. As is known to those skilled in the retail catalog business, the financial authorization generally involves the use of a credit card and the financial authorization request for the customer is dependent upon the dollar amount of the order placed. Assuming the financial authorization is approved, the catalog order process continues with the processing, assembling and packaging of the order for shipment to the address specified by the customer. Referring now to FIG. 7, there is shown a logic flow diagram which details the parallel paths for processing either a domestic order for fulfillment within the country of origin or alternatively the path for fulfilling a foreign order where the goods to be sent are offered for sale by a foreign company through the catalog listing on applicants' international catalog system. As illustrated in FIG. 7 the lefthand side of the logic flow diagram is similar in process, structure and operation to that illustrated in FIG. 6 with the request for customer approval to list the customer's name and address in the customer data file being undertaken after the catalog system processor determines the type of customer inquiry. The initial determination by the catalog system processor would identify the customer inquiry as involving a domestic catalog order or alternatively a foreign catalog order. In either event, the customer has the option of approving or denying the system request for inclusion of the customer's name in the customer profile data file. After an order has been placed, the catalog system then-would initiate the financial authorization process for a particular customer's order. If there are any problems encountered in the credit authorization procedure, the customer would be so advised and the system would be instructed by the customer to retry the financial authorization process either with a different credit card or correcting any mistake which was contained in the original customer data inputted into the system. As shown in FIG. 7, the domestic catalog order, following the financial authorization process approval, would proceed to fulfill the customer order by notifying the appropriate warehouse to gather the products ordered by the customer and assembling and packing the customer's order for shipment to the customer. Again with reference to FIG. 7, the foreign catalog order processing has several additional steps necessitated by the transfer of the customer's order to the foreign catalog company for processing after the financial transaction proposed by the customer order has been approved. The local catalog system, as herein above described in connection with FIG. 4, following completion of the formalities of the customer order communicates the order data via an appropriate communication channel, not shown, to the foreign-based catalog company with the guarantee of payment being made by the local company. The foreign company would then process the order by assembling and packaging the products ordered for shipment to the local catalog company following clearance of the shipment through local custom authorities. The local catalog company would then process the necessary regulatory paperwork to clear the shipment through customs and repackage the goods for shipment to the local customer. In the case of a foreign catalog, just as in the case of the domestic catalog, the local user looks to the local catalog company as the company handling the transaction on the customer's behalf. With the applicants' improved system, there is no delay or hassle encountered by the customer due to foreign duties and customs clearance and any complaints are handled locally by the local catalog company. Referring now to FIG. 8 there is shown a logic flow block diagram of the process and system apparatus for applicants' improved online interactive catalog system for combined domestic and international operations. As herein above described in connection with FIG. 4 dotted line 39 indicates a portion of the border between the United States of America and Canada with a majority of the system in the illustration being located in Canada. The operation of the interactive catalog system is initiated by a customer/user making contact via the customer terminal 81 with the international order processing center processor 83 via a communication link 85. As illustrated, the customer communications from terminal 81 may take the form of telephone, mail, fax or other interactive media contact. The initiation of the customer inquiry when properly received by the data processor 83 results in the case of the telephone and fax modes operation in the origination at the data processor 83 of a product/service menu which is communicated via the communication link 85 to the customer terminal 81. Assuming a valid system user inquiry, the data processor 83 which may be of the type described above then determines what type of customer request is involved which is illustrated by the series of decision blocks 87, 89 and 91 which correspond with a customer request to place of order, a customer request for service and a customer product request or return. In each of these instances the inquiry is routed through the order entry, customer service, product information or product return routines illustrated by blocks 95, 97 and 99. Each of the respective categories of customer inquiry, when properly recognized by the data processor 83, would initiate the order entry, customer service, product information request or product return subroutines as illustrated. The order process then follows the steps of order entry, processing, updating the order data base, updating the customer data base and updating the data bank and inventory memories 107 as shown graphically in blocks 94,96, 98, 100 and 104. As part of the order processing a payment processing 103 which for example involves the types of steps herein above described in connection with FIGS. 1 and 4 and the appropriate accounting function as described by block 105 is initiated. The various data processing functions communicate with an array of data files 107, which for example may comprise an array of disc files of the type IBM 3350 or similar head per track magnetic memory units. Following the processing the order a decision is made whether the order is a domestic, e.g. Canadian, order or the request involves an American manufacturer's catalog. As illustrated, if the product request involves a U.S. catalog company's product, appropriate data communications, e.g. via decision logic 109 and modem 111 and transfer order batch logic 113 which are coupled with similar equipment herein above described through a communication 115 linking the Canadian catalog center with its companion U.S. catalog center. The U.S. catalog center 119 would then accept the order and process the order by selecting the products, updating the data and shipping the product to the customer by appropriate means 117, 119, 121, 123 and 125 across the U.S. Canadian border to the Canadian customs illustrated as block 127. Thereafter the clearance of the shipment through customs would be handled by the Canadian catalog company duty/customs processor 130 and the customer's order package would clear customs and be forwarded to the international order fulfillment center illustrated in block 129. The product would then be prepared for domestic shipping 131 and given to an appropriate carrier 133 for delivery to the customer as illustrated in the block flow diagram. Alternatively, if the order as processed and described above involves a domestic, Canadian catalog company order, then the order would be directly sent to the fulfillment center 130 which would then prepare the order for shipment 133 to the customer. As is known to those skilled in the retail catalog arts, a small portion of retail catalog transactions generally involve return of goods under a warranty or customer dissatisfaction situation. If the customer inquiry as described above involved a return product, the process is illustrated in the logic flow diagram involving the product return routine 139, exchange 141 and refund 143 to be credited to the customer and the determination as to whether the received returned goods are to be exchanged 141 or returned to the center, e.g. for example the wrong size or color was ordered. The process would involve the updating or changing of the order, the return of the goods with a determination as to whether a refund or new product was to be shipped. Bulk products 145 are normally not returned but sent to an appropriate warehouse for liquidation 147. If the original transaction involved an international transaction, the product would be repackaged for shipment to customers through customs 149 which would then arrange for shipment to the customer. The foregoing description of applicants' improved interactive catalog process and system is illustrative only and many modifications may be made without departing from the scope of their invention as claimed below.

It consists of a hypodermic which terminates in a clear tube and a bottle of specially formulated cleaning fluid.
Are some of your colors are printing choppy? Your print nozzles are partially clogged. This usually happens when 1) you run out of a color and don't replace it immediately or 2) you habitually turn off your printer for days at a time or 3) a clot formed - hey, it happens. If the built-in printer head cleaning (or two) doesn't solve this, it's not a good idea to keep running head cleanings. All this does is squirt more ink to the heads. Ink will not dissolve an ink clot, so you are wasting lots of ink. That ink ends up in the waste tank beneath the printer. When the waste tank is full, the printer becomes useless. Running too many cleanings can permanently damage the printer. This Brother printer cleaning kit solves this problem. It forces a solution to the print heads specially designed to break down clots. The clots break down and are washed away to the waste tank.
Are some colors are not printing at all? This could be caused by a completely clogged print head, a cartridge issue or a burned-out print head. If it is a clog, this Brother printer head cleaning kit should handle it.
Note: You may have to print several pages until the cleaning fluid is flushed out of the system and the print quality becomes acceptable.
This head cleaning kit is not specific to a printer model and will work with many Epson, Lexmark, Brother, Dell, Canon and other printers. One kit is good for many uses.
Note: many HP inkjet printers have the heads in the cartridge or as a separate, removable item. This kit will not work for those printers.
Disclaimer: Results can not be guaranteed. If you print for a while missing a color, permanent damage can result to the print head. The cleaning fluid can only clean the head, it can't repair it. If you habitually turn off your printer for long periods or wait a long time before replacing an empty ink cartridge, your print heads may contain large, hard clogs which can not be broken down. This cleaning kit does a wonderful job restoring print quality which has deteriorated due to clogs and even in many cases, restoring colors which failed to print entirely but it can't repair a broken printer. There is no warranty on cleaning kits.
This kit comes in different sizes: from 30 ml to 180 ml. A cleaning takes about 2 ml per color cleaned.
30 or 60 ml: If this is the only item on your order, first-class shipping will be $3 in the US ($5 for 2, $7 for 3 and up) or $7 to Canada. If a higher shipping is charged, the difference will be refunded.
120 ml: If this is the only item on your order, first-class shipping will be $5 US ($7 for 2 and up) or $9 Canada. If a higher shipping is charged, the difference will be refunded.
To conserve on the number of bottles we have to stock, we only have a 30ml, 60ml and 180ml. For orders of more than 60ml, the larger bottle will be filled to the desired level.

See You in The Sunday Paper and on TV too!
Westminster Farmers' Market -

2012 Honda Odyssey
Choose Honda Odyssey Style:
C/D Overview:
A habitual comparison-test winner, the Odyssey proves that Honda knows how to do family vehicles that don't alienate the driver. It's not outright fun to drive, but definitely tops in the class. And with the six-speed auto, the Odyssey gets awfully close to 30 mpg on the highway.
Base Price: $29,205 - $44,655
Enormous interior, seats flip and slide easily, class-leading acceleration does matter when merging with a full load.
"Unique" is a kind way to describe the styling, quickly gets expensive if you want the good stuff.
What's New
Redesigned for 2011; unchanged for 2012.
Behind The Wheel
Minivans don't get much more comfortable or agile, and the engine seamlessly cycles between three-, four-, and six-cylinder operation to save fuel under light loads.

Ransomware is a kind of malware (malicious software) that criminals install on your computer so they can lock it from a remote location. Ransomware generates a pop-up window, webpage, or email warning from what looks like an official authority. It explains that your computer has been locked because of possible illegal activities on it and demands payment before you can access your files and programs again.
Ransomware is usually installed when you open a malicious email attachment or when you click a malicious link in an email message or instant message or on a social networking site or other website. Ransomware can even be installed when you visit a malicious website.
There are several free ways to help protect your computer against ransomware and other malware:
Keep all of the software on your computer up to date. Make sure automatic updating is turned on to get all the latest Microsoft security updates.
Keep your firewall turned on.
Don't open spam email messages or click links on suspicious websites.
Download Microsoft Security Essentials, which is free, or use another reputable antivirus and anti-malware program. If you run Windows 8 or Windows RT, you don't need Microsoft Security Essentials.
Scan your computer with the Microsoft Safety Scanner.
To detect and remove ransomware and other malicious software that might be installed on your computer, run a full-system scan with an appropriate, up-to-date, security solution. The following Microsoft products can detect and remove this threat:
Windows Defender (built into Windows 8)
Microsoft Security Essentials
Windows Defender Offline (Some ransomware will not allow you to use the products listed here, so you might have to start your computer from a Windows Defender Offline disk.)

Nike SB Eric Koston SE – Black – White – Aqua by Patrick Johnson 0 Comments
October 24, 2012 BY Aaron Hope / 0
The Sunburst shade of red is playing a significant role in Nike's F/W12 catalog, adding a vibrant accent to a wide variety of styles, especially within the Sportswear division. Skateboarding has a couple of its own, and interestingly enough, both are claimed by Eric Koston's first Nike SB signature. The Koston X Heritage did its best Air Max 90 'Infared' impression with this particular shade of red, and now it's in full force on the midsole of a new Nike Zoom Koston 1 in black suede with select Atomic Green hits. It's a radioactive look that plays well with all the Halloween themes in the air and you'll find them available today at retailers like Premier.

In a sensual black dining room with silver bubbles floating from the ceiling, rising star chef Daniel Achilles, who studied under the three-Michelin-starred chefs Juan Amador and Christian Bau, is creating culinary excitement. Achilles divides his culinary creations into two menus: the "quite near," which uses local ingredients to create modern regional classics like wild mushroom bouillon with rabbit and morels; while the more experimental "far away" might include king crab with pickled broccoli and almond cream.

Travis Stewart of Goshen is one of the recipients of a scholarship from the Scholarships for Military Children Program.
Stewart earned a $1,500 scholarship awarded at Ft. Knox. To earn the scholarship, students must earn a 3.0 grade-point average, participate in voluntary school and community activities, demonstrate leadership qualities and write an essay about what items they would place in a time capsule to help people in the next century understand military life today.
They anticipated it, and their suspicions turned out to be true. Oldham County Schools will receive less funding from the state than in 2008-09.
Oldham County Schools Treasurer Chuck Littrell said last school year, the district received about $36 million from the state budget.
This year, that amount decreased by about $830,000. Additional cuts to specific programs from the state are likely, he said.
Anticipating the budget shortfall, the district laid off more than 50 district employees this spring.
Jonathan Sherry of La Grange recently graduated from Eastern Kentucky University, magna cum laude with a bachelor's degree in history.
He is a 2005 graduate of Oldham County High School and is the son of Dave and Pam Sherry of La Grange.
After spending the summer on an internship in Vienna, Austria, Sherry will attend the University of Pittsburgh on a full scholarship/fellowship to pursue his doctorate in history.
Another school year, another race to have all schools ready in time for the start of classes. But this year, the obstacles aren't as great and the costs of failure aren't as high.
Oldham County Schools Director of Facilities Jim Ewalt said the $25.6 million renovation at North Oldham Middle and High schools should be finished in time for the start of school except for the new shared auditorium.
Ryan Hudson and Marcus Hundley, both of La Grange, graduated from Morehead State University this spring.
Each earned a bachelor of science degree.
Megan Callahan and David McCall, both of Crestwood were among 1,293 graduates for the spring semester at Eastern Kentucky University.
Callahan graduated with a bachelor's degree in sociology; and McCall graduated with a bachelor's degree in agriculture.
Wattenberg named to dean's list at St. Olaf College
Isabelle Wattenberg of Crestwood was named to the dean's list at St. Olaf College for the spring semester.
Tyler Foote recently earned degrees in government and history from Centre College. He was awarded the Jobson Memorial Prize for student government association.
Foote is the son of Donald and Kellie Foote of Goshen and is a graduate of North Oldham High School.
Tamaryn Tuller earned a degree in elementary education from Centre, and graduated cum laude. Tuller is the daughter of Oliver and Karen Tuller of Prospect and is a graduate of North Oldham High School.
Matthew Jackson of Goshen is among 1,293 graduates from Eastern Kentucky University this spring.
Jackson earned with a bachelor's degree in environmental health science.
Virginia Lee Conn, a University of Kentucky senior from Oldham County, recently earned the College of Arts and Sciences Dean's Scholarship.
Conn, a graduate of Oldham County High School, is the daughter of Karen Conn of La Grange.
At UK, Conn is a Singletary Scholar, president of the UK Feminist Alliance, a member of student council and a participant in the Deauville Jumelage exchange program. Conn is studying english and studio art.
At the recent annual tea hosted by the Oldham County Republican Women's Club in Crestwood, a scholarship was awarded to Madeleine Ricks of Goshen. Ricks is a graduate of North Oldham High School and plans to attend Louisiana State University in the fall, and study marketing.
Ricks was a highly-competitive gymnast for 12 years, a cheerleader and ranked diver. She was a member of the Mustang Mentors, the National Honor Society and founder of the Republican Club at NOHS.

While everyone wants to live a real healthy life, not everyone has it. Essentially the most prevalent health dilemma in today's society, obesity, is, generally, triggered by the lack of healthy and also active exercise routines. However what's obesity, really? Basically, a healthy BMI (Body Mass Index) shouldn't be more than 30. So when it goes beyond that, that's when obesity starts. This health disorder tags along many other health hazards also like high cholesterol, diabetes to say a few. This heavy weight condition could take its toll on anybody and everybody. On the other hand, obesity isn't a hopeless case. One can get back to a healthy weight condition by following weight reduction ideas just like the ones discussed below.
Numerous fellows with weight problem are misled into thinking that starving themselves to death and working out to the hilt solves their problem. Actually, doing these things do work for a lot of however they don't apply to all. For anybody who is alright with the concept of short-term weight reduction, these suggestions may appear alright; otherwise, they're not for you.If you want a long term solution then taking weightloss pills will suit you best.
Its unquestionable that there are hundreds of diet pills available in the market. Essentially the most effective diets pills available in the market is Phentermine. A prescription drug orally taken, Phentermine 37.5 mg tabs is made by Gate Pharmaceuticals. Phentermine is a weight reduction drug used in combination with proper diet and exercise. The great thing with Phentermine is that they come in easy tablet form for convenient intake. Before you take Phentermine you must consult it together with your doctor.
Taking the said pills will efficiently reduce and control your craving for food. The neuro-transmitters which controls hunger is focused by Phentermine. The moment that these neuro-transmitters are clogged the result will be reduced appetite. Combined with a complete weight-loss program the results will definitely be efficient. Nevertheless, you need to make sure that you aren't overdosing yourself with Phentermine as this would pose a serious health threat. Strictly stick to your doctor's prescription..
It's essential that you follow the do's and don'ts set up by your medical doctor so you might experience Phentermine at its finest. If you're an expectant mother or perhaps breastfeeding a baby, your doctor would surely advice you against taking the pills. Medical guidance is suggested while taking this medication. You must inform your physician about your health background just before taking the drug. Unwanted medical issues may be avoided in case you disclose all required info to the physician. The drug should be kept far from kids, moisture, heat and it should be stored in room temperature.
Acquire Phentermine with the assistance of online pharmacies and get your order delivered at your doorstep. By means of online order, you can even save some money. On-line pharmacies will also help you in getting a prescription for the drug.

Re:Every windows application (427 comments)
Have a look at PlayOnLinux. It's free and works well enough.
Re:I2P? (122 comments)
Yes, I2P has a number of clients specifically made for it. Also, since the traffic stays inside the network, there's not the same issue as with Tor (that bittorrent basically ruins the outproxies). That upside is also a downside, since it means you can't torrent traffic from regular sites, you have to stick to internal I2P torrents.
Re:Oh good! (276 comments)
Wait, what? The LGPL is less free because it's called that way? The LGPL gives me, as a developer, MORE freedom. It's all a matter of perspective.
Re:Why CMS (219 comments)
For one, the weight a CMS adds is compensated by all of the code that is already present, all of the plugins that can be added without any trouble, the possibility for non-coders to easily modify website content
Especially for large websites, this can dramatically improve how fast you can update and improve your site.
Also, if you don't want to use a CMS, a framework like Django or Ruby on Rails is the way to go. These allow you to program everything yourself, but already have a lot of functionality built-in, to avoid reinventing the wheel.
Re:Local? (427 comments)
Ignore the above. It was due to a bad copypaste, apparently (linefeed missing).
Re:Local? (427 comments)
Yes, it affects Vista (just tested it here). The example exploit contains a bug though. You need to add an import line 'from socket import socket'.
Re:WTF does this mean??? (434 comments)
Here you go
And yes, you are absolutely right. I couldn't entirely understand the article either.
802.11s + anonymous network on top (541 comments)
It would still be an Iran-only network, unless there are unfiltered gateways, but it would at least allow internal communication.
Re:Encryption doesn't do much. (343 comments)
Indeed, with rapidshare, you can still easily be 'sold out' when the French government requests IPs from the rapidshare hosts.
By the way, we're already noticing the effect on I2P. The new router count is getting a huge boost today.
Re:First post? (231 comments)
Unlike with Tor, each user is a router (especially true for high-bandwidth users). Obviously people are not a router to the regular net (as that could get people in trouble), but all users route data through the I2P network itself.
In other words, if you want high-bandwidth bittorrenting, it helps a lot to contribute bandwidth yourself (makes you well-integrated). This keeps leechers to a slightly lower level.
Secondly, as torrents consume a lot of bandwidth, they also provide cover traffic for other people who might not more anonymity.
Re:No HTTPS support (231 comments)
Yes, it would make a useful addition (lots of things would
Re:No HTTPS support (231 comments)
The fail is in fact on nobodies end. The reason https is 'not supported' is simply because nobody has set up an outproxy for it. If somebody does set up one, you will be able to use https.
Re:Come on everybody, (88 comments)
It's the Anonymous network dance!

You can slow down to a crawl

DOCSIS? (177 comments)
Comcast is a cable company, right? So isn't this just because their VoIP can be put in a separate Docsis channel (and prioritised accordingly), while 'regular' VoIP is sent as normal data?
Re:Stop him! (279 comments)
Well, they could of course take away the right to privacy (some laws already do). That's exactly what this article is about.
However, Freenet now has a darknet part, so I guess it would be kinda hard to detect (don't know the details, can someone else comment on that?).
Re:Stop him! (279 comments)
I2P downloading at 30-40 kBps is perfectly possible. It might not be very fast compared to non-anonymous networking, but still, that's quite okay. When downloading large files, people just leave their downloads on for a while anyway.
Visiting I2P websites (known as eepsites) is also quite fast.
The same goes for visiting websites through Tor: the latency is high, but doable (depending on how much latency you're willing to tolerate
I can't comment on Freenet, as I haven't really used it yet.
And no, I'm not on some super-connection, just cable.
