Description [0001] Many scanner type devices, from flat-bed scanners to high end photocopiers, use reflected illumination from a light source to generate copies of images. Typically in these devices, the photo-response from pixel to pixel is imperfect. Engineers have developed calibration systems to improve the response and help counter the variability. Traditional calibration systems implement a correction at upper and lower regions of the expected response, typically, at black and at white. Still, banding, streaking, color shifts and other imaging artifacts are often observed in scanned images. [0002] The present invention provides a new and useful method and system for calibrating a scanning device. [0003] In the accompanying drawings which are incorporated in and constitute a part of the specification, embodiments of a system and method are illustrated which, together with the detailed description given below, serve to describe the example embodiments of the system and method. It will be appreciated that the illustrated boundaries of elements (e.g. boxes, groups of boxes, or other shapes) in the figures represent one example of the boundaries. One of ordinary skill in the art will appreciate that one element may be designed as multiple elements or that multiple elements may be designed as one element. An element shown as an internal component of another element may be implemented as an external component and vice versa. [0004]FIG. 1 is one embodiment of a scanning device. [0005]FIG. 2 is one embodiment of a scanning device optics. [0006]FIG. 3 is one embodiment of a scanning device. [0007]FIG. 4 is a stylized illustration of one embodiment of calibration logic.

[0017] �User�, as used herein, includes but is not limited to one or more persons, software, computers or other devices, or combinations of these. [0018] Generally speaking, one embodiment of a system and method is provided for use with a scanning device. The system and method generate scan data and determine calibration values based on the scan data. In one embodiment, the system is configured to calculate calibration values by interpolating between selected scan data and known and calculated target values. Other embodiments and features are described in more detail in the following examples. [0019] With reference to FIG. 1, a scanning device such as flat bed scanner 100 may include a document 105 positioned on transparent platen 110 with an image facing downward. In operation, the image is scanned or converted into a signal useable by image processing logic and the like. [0020] In the illustrated embodiment, the scanning process is accomplished by a movable carriage 115 that contains a light source 120 and a reflecting mirror 125. Motor 130 is mechanically coupled to carriage 115, as by gears, cables or the like, to move carriage 115 in the Y direction, along the length of platen 110. The light reflected from the document is redirected by a mirror 140 into lens 145 and thence into light sensitive receiver 150. The mirror 140 may be mounted for movement concurrently with carriage 115, but at one half the velocity of carriage 115, so that the optical path from the object plane of scan line of light 155 to the image plane of light sensitive receiver 150 is maintained constant in length. Those skilled in the art will appreciate that alternative, non-illustrated, embodiments can include contact image sensors (CIS) that do not require the moving mirror illustrated and enables scanning function with fewer components. Regardless of individual components, the transmission vehicle from light source to receiver is designated �optical path.� [0021] With reference to FIG. 2, one embodiment of the light sensitive receiver 150 is shown that includes a charge coupled device (CCD) configured as a linear serial array of discrete light sensor cells or light detector cells 165. Each sensor cell 165 of sensor array 150 defines a document picture element (PEL). For instance, CCDs which can distinguish 400 PEL cells per inch on the document provide servicable resolution, and are readily available from commercial sources. Those skilled will appreciate that the light sensitive receiver 150 can alternatively comprise other devices capable of converting optical energy into signals such as photodiodes or other CMOS detectors. [0022] With reference again to FIG. 1, light source 120 may be constructed and arranged to produce a line of light 155, or a linear footprint or zone of light, on a desired area such as platen 110 or a calibration target (not shown). Line of light 155 extends in the X (FIG. 2) direction relative to document 105. The line of light 155 defines a row of document PELS. As line 155 moves in the Y direction, the signals are generated representing the document as a number of parallel rows, each row being a number of document PELS in length. Light source 120 can include a single light with colored filters (e.g. red, green and blue) or banks of colored light emitting diodes. [0023] In FIG. 2, a typical 8.5 inch long image scan line 205 can be optically reduced in length as it passes through lens 145 in a ratio of, for example, about 7.7:1 before reaching light sensitive receiver 150. Alternative embodiments do not necessarily employ optical reduction and, as known, others such as 1:1 systems, for example a CIS scanner system are substitutable with no loss of functionality. Note that light sensitive receiver 150 also is positioned in the area above defined X direction relative to document 105. In other words, receiver 150 is offset from the platen 110. [0024] In one embodiment, the signal 210 generated by light sensitive receiver 150 is an analog signal. The signal 210 is periodically read row by row, as carriage 115 moves in the Y direction relative to the platen 110. The output scan signals 210 from the individual cells of sensor array 150 are coupled to control logic 220 where the signals are converted to digital signals. Control logic 220 introduces drive signals to motor 130, and may also receive position or movement feedback information relative to carriage 115 and/or mirror 140, such as from the output of a tachometer position detector 160 and from a carriage home position sensor (not shown). As further described below, control logic 220 can be configured to power also powers the light source 120 in accordance with a calibration sequence. [0025] With reference now to FIG. 3, in one embodiment, a calibration sequence comprises obtaining calibration values for each of a white scan, a dark or black scan, and a gray scan. Gray values may alternately be referenced as mid-tone values representing their placement between the two extremes of black and white. Additionally, while the disclosure employs the terms black, white and gray, those skilled in the art will appreciate applicability to color processes and color scanning devices as well. Indeed, the relation of gray processing to color processing is within the skill of a color engineer. In this case, control logic 220 receives or generates a triggering event initiating calibration. The control logic 220 is configured to control the illumination power of a light source 120. For example, the control logic 220 can cause the light source 120 to operate at any desired level between no power (e.g. no illumination) to full power (i.e. full illumination used during a scan). Intermediate levels of illumination are obtained by application of intermediate levels of power. Non-linearities in various light sources typically result in observed illumination differing or offset from the power level supplied. As used herein, the intermediate or approximate power level is understood to produce intermediate or approximate illumination. [0026] To receive white scan data, the control logic 220 operatively communicates with the light source 120 which applies full illumination power. Illuminating light 310 then illuminates an area of interest 315. The area of interest 315 in the calibration sequence may be a calibration target such as a strip or other object disposed outside the field of view of the platen (not shown) in a flat bed scanner. Alternately other scanning devices such as copy machines, facsimile machines, scroll fed scanners and the like may employ an area of interest such as the background of the scanned image to calibrate upon. [0027] As the calibration scan progresses over the area of interest 315, signals representative of white scan data are obtained by taking periodic readings from a light sensitive receiver or detector that detects reflected light 330. These signals are generated in response to the light sensitive receiver 150 receiving the reflected light 330 from the area of interest 315. The signals may be communicated to a calibration logic 335 via the control logic 220 and digitized if needed. As will be further discussed below, calibration logic 335 receives scan data from several scans 350, generates and stores calibration factors in a memory 340 or other computer-readable medium for later use. [0028] In a system with a single white target area of interest 315, that is a system without a black or gray target, a dark scan 350D is obtained by taking readings from the light sensitive receiver 150 while the light source 120 is not powered or �dark.� Alternately, in systems where a black target is included in the area of interest (not shown) a black scan is obtained by scanning the black target under full illumination of the light source. For purposes here, black scan and dark scan interchangably refer to a scan to obtain response values at the dark end of the light spectrum, that is, as opposed to the white scan. [0029] The calibration sequence also includes at least one gray scan 350G obtained by taking readings from the light sensitive receiver 150 while the light source 120 is partially powered or otherwise not producing full illumination intensity. Where two gray scans are desired, the control logic 220 can communicate with the light source 120 to perform two scans of a monochromatic, white, area of interest 315 each at different illumination levels or intensities. Alternately, where the area of interest 315 contains gray or intermediate areas or strips, other calibration scenarios can effectively yield multiple gray scans. [0030] With reference now to FIG. 4, calibration logic 335 is configured to receive the signals from each of the calibration scans. For example, calibration logic 335 is illustrated as storing scan rows sequentially with like PEL positions aligning with each other to form columns 400. After a scan completes, the values in each column are averaged resulting in an average column value 410 for each column 400. Further processing averages the average column values 410 across the scan line resulting in a single calibration value 420 for each calibration scan. It will be appreciate that not necessarily all data in columns will be used. For example, corrupted data or samples lying outside of particular thresholds may be discarded. Additionally, numerical manipulations other than simple averaging are possible. [0031] Continuing with the present illustration and referring now to FIG. 5, the set of calibration scans result in one white-scan value 500, at least one gray-scan value 510, and one dark-scan value 520. To further differentiate, scan values are illustrated by circles. In the instant example, the system has predetermined target values for white and dark such as white target value 505 and dark target value 525. Again, to differentiate, predetermined target values are illustrated by diamonds. However, due to uncertainties in intermediate power settings, the control logic 220 may not know the exact illumination intensity of the light source, and the resultant gray, a target gray data 515 is unknown. Target gray value 515 can be calculated, however, from the known values�in this case, calibration scan data 500, 510, 520 and known white and dark targets 505, 525. Calculated target values are illustrated by squares. One method of calculating the target gray value 515 is by interpolating between the known values. [0032] Once the target gray value 515 is calculated, calibration logic 335 calculates a linear fit off-set plus gain that will adjust each pixel from the averages for their respective columns 400 in gray and black scan to the target values for gray and black 515, 525. It is appreciated that the calibration logic 335 can have two measurements, two targets, and two degrees of freedom, namely off-set and a gain. This process produces a table of off-sets and gains called the photo response non-uniformity correction table which is stored in calibration table 360 and applied on the fly to an image created during use of the scanning device 100. [0033] To illustrate one embodiment, assume two pixels exist on a scan line. Further assume that the response of the first pixel is a straight line from white to black, meaning upon illumination using half the light intensity, that pixel responds with half the signal out. Assume the second pixel on the scan line has a slightly nonlinear response, so that upon illumination using half the light intensity, that pixel responds with a signal out slightly different than a half value, such as 0.6. This embodiment calibrates in gray, without a gray target strip, and without control over or knowledge of exactly how much illumination is present in the gray calibration. When complete, the same average response in white exists as under previous methods because the target can be derived by interpolating among those averages. Indeed, the variability can be suppressed at the tone of that gray scan because it is used to calculate the pixel gains and off-sets. Continuing with the illustration, the result is that both pixels are calibrated to respond at 0.55 with an input intensity of 0.5 because of the calibration. [0034] With reference now to FIG. 6, one embodiment of a calibration methodology is shown. The calibration may begin with a triggering event (block 600). A white scan is performed and a white scan average value, such as value 500, is obtained (block 610). As discussed above, the white calibration scan is conducted with the light source at maximum or full illumination as would be used in a working scan. A dark scan is performed and a dark scan average value is calculated, such as value 520 (block 620). The dark scan may alternately be obtained by conducting a no-illumination scan of a white calibration target, or a full illumination scan of a black calibration target. A gray scan is performed and a gray scan average value 510 (block 630). The gray scan may alternately be obtained by conducting a full illumination scan of a gray calibration target, or a partial illumination scan of a white or black calibration target. Using the data obtained from the scans, a target gray value, such as gray value 515, is derived (block 640). In one embodiment, the target gray value 515 can be obtained according to the following equation: gray_tgt (515)=dark_tgt (525)+(white_tgt (505)−dark_tgt (525))*(gray_avg (510)−dark_avg (520))/(white_avg (500)−dark_avg (520)) EQ. 1. [0035] Calibration factors are then calculated for each pixel (block 650). The calibration factors can be restored in a table or other desired data structure. In one embodiment, the calibration factors are gain and offset and are calculated according to the following equations: Pixel_gain(x)=(gray_tgt)/(pixel_value_in_gray_scan(x)) EQ. 2. Pixel_offset(x)=pixel_value_in_dark_scan(x)−dark_tgt) EQ. 3. [0036] With reference now to FIG. 7, another embodiment of a calibration methodology is shown. After the calibration begins (block 700), a white scan is performed and a white scan average value, such as value 500, is obtained (block 710). A dark scan is performed, yielding a dark scan average value, such as value 520, (block 720). A gray scan is performed, yielding a gray scan average value, such as value 510, (block 730). Using the data obtained from the scans, a target gray value, such as value 515, is derived (block 740). In one embodiment, the target gray value 515 is obtained according to the equation 1 above. [0037] A dark gray scan can also be performed, yielding a dark gray scan average value (block 735). Here, the light source is controlled to illuminate the area of interest at a power or intensity level less than the power level used for the gray scan (block 730) but greater than the power level used for the dark scan (block 720). Using the data obtained from the scans, a target dark gray value is derived (block 745). In one embodiment, the target dark gray value is derived according to the following equation: dark_gray_tgt=dark_tgt (525)+(white_tgt (505)−dark_tgt (525))*(dark_gray_avg−dark_avg (520))/(white_avg (500)−dark_avg (520)) EQ. 4. [0038] Calibration factors are then calculated for each pixel (block 750). In one embodiment, the calibration factors are gain and offset values and are calculated according to the following equations: Pixel_gain(x)=(gray_tgt)/(pixel_value_in_gray_scan(x)) EQ. 5. Pixel_offset(x)=pixel_value_in_dark_gray_scan(x)−dark_gray_tgt) EQ. 6. [0039] In a color embodiment of the calibration factors, the process is repeated for each color component. Note values for each color component (e.g. RGB) can be different. In other words, pixel gain for red can be different from the same pixel gain in green. [0040] With reference now to FIG. 8, an alternate embodiment of a calibration methodology is shown. After the calibration begins (block 800), a gray scan is performed, yielding a gray scan average value, (block 830). At least one calibration factor is then calculated for each pixel (block 850). In one embodiment, the calibration factor is merely gain, and any offset is discarded or not applied. [0041] After calibration factors are calculated and stored, they may be applied in run time on a working scan. Details are noted in U.S. Pat. No. 5,285,293 issued Feb. 8, 1994 to Webb et al. and incorporated here by reference. The compensation to a working scan in one embodiment is accomplished according to the following equation: Compensated_pixel_value(x)=scanned_pixel_value(x)*pixel_gain(x)−pixel_offset(x) EQ. 7. [0042] Where calibration factors pixel_gain(x), and pixel_offset(x) are retrieved from the calibration table 360. [0043] Those skilled in the art can now appreciate that alternate embodiments are readily obtainable. For example, while control logic 220 and calibration logic 335, are illustrated as separate, but connected devices, they could alternately reside on the same physical device segregated by address, partitioned, or otherwise identifiable to the logic accessing them. The illustrated logic and elements, represented as distinct components, can be configured together or separated with no loss of functionality. Further, various logical distinctions have been illustrated for clarity but actually need not be so distinct. Moreover, while certain elements have been illustrated and claimed in particular orders, such order is not intended as limiting. For example, often a calibration sequence has been discussed as proceeding from white scan, to dark scan to gray scan. This ordering may be changed. Also, the number of steps or the particular processes discussed or illustrated are not intended as limiting, but merely to illustrate the features and components of the appended claims. [0044] While the present invention has been illustrated by the description of embodiments thereof, and while the embodiments have been described in considerable detail, it is not the intention of the applicants to restrict or in any way limit the scope of the appended claims to such detail. Additional advantages and modifications will readily appear to those skilled in the art. Therefore, the invention, in its broader aspects, is not limited to the specific details, the representative apparatus, and illustrative examples shown and described. Accordingly, departures may be made from such details without departing from the spirit or scope of the applicant's general inventive concept. Referenced by

2003 Chevrolet Suburban 1500 Reviews and Owner Comments
2003 Chevrolet Suburban 1500Visitor, Lake Stevens, WA, February 07, 2014 11:13We have owned a 2003 Chevy Suburban with 130,000 miles and have continued to enjoy this vehicle. I do understand that if you maintain it, the engine can last for a long time. I actually sold my Toyota Sequoia because it had nothing but transmission and electrical issues. The Suburban seemed to accommodate my family better and had more room including better ride comfort. I do want others to know that the Transfer Case for these vehicles will tend to make a small hole causing a leak and this will be costly. Also, with these many miles, I am ready for a rear main seal and front driveline output shaft seal, but lucky for us we have someone that can help in repairing this project. Again, there are no perfect vehicles and not everyone will have a non-issue suv but if you do, great! if you don't, find something that would work for you and your family. So far, we are really enjoying this suv and what it has to offer.Flag ThisLike | 5 people like this5

2003 Chevrolet Suburban 1500Northen Todd, Apache Junction, AZ, November 25, 2010 02:25Well...what to say about the Suburban. Don't buy one without the extended warranty. New transmission at 70,000km, then seals had to be done again at 138,000km. Front suspension parts replaced twice under warranty. Electrical problems at 60,000km resulting in a new battery and ignition relay. HVAC blower would not shut off..requiring a new solenoid. Pinging and popping noises from exhaust. Oil gauge sending unit replaced. Fuel gauge sending unit replaced. Spark plugs and wires. 02 Sensor problem. Faulty wiring harness for trailer towing. Third row seatbelts replaced. Front and rear brakes and rotors at 140,000km, and a check engine light that is constantly illuminating! However, until recently it was the only vehicle that could comfortably fit a family of five and pull a trailer. Likely will try Toyota next.RookieFlag ThisLike0

This is an excellent moisturizer for dry, sensitive skin anywhere on the face. It contains a good mix of non-fragrant plant oils rich in fatty acids, emollients for moisture retention, and some good antioxidants. The gentleness of this formula is great for use around the eyes, but your entire face deserves such gentle care--it shouldn't be reserved for skin around the eyes. Although more antioxidants and some cell-communicating ingredients would've made this even better, this deserves our top rating due to its value for sensitive skin. Note that this eye cream is tricky to wear under makeup, as its oil-rich formula can cause concealer and eyeliner to smudge and fade. You may want to reserve this for nighttime use or apply very sparingly in the morning.
A rich, soothing emollient cream specially formulated for the sensitive and delicate skin around the eyes. If used daily, this cream will provide real improvement to the softness and suppleness of your skin. Formulated for firming and tightening fine lines and wrinkles.
Water, Borage (Borago Officinalis) Seed Oil, Jojoba (Simmondsia Chinensis) Seed Oil, Glycerin, Glyceryl Stearate SE, Shea Butter (Butyrospermum Parkii) Fruit, Tocopherol Acetate, Cucumber (Cucumis Sativus) Extract, Cetearyl Alcohol, Cyclomethicone, Phenoxyethanol, Citric Acid, Stearyl Glycyrrhetinate (licorice root extract), Diazolidinyl Urea, Ethylhexylglycerin
Strengths: Uses many natural ingredients that don't pose a risk to skin
Weaknesses: Use of some volatile fragrant ingredients that can lead to allergic or sensitized reactions; must research products before you buy to ensure you will help skin rather than hurt it.
The doctor-designed, California-based ShiKai product range is extensive and sold in many health food stores and natural markets. Just like many products vying for your attention and dollars, they're big theme is natural ingredients. To that end, you'll see the same claims many other brands use, including "all natural", "botanicals" and a penchant for natural fragrances that the company maintains are less likely to cause an allergic reaction, but research certainly doesn't bear that out. Many natural ingredients contain fragranc chemicals contain a litany of volatile components that can cause a wide range of allergic or sensitized reactions, ranging from discolorations upon exposure to sunlight to irritant contact dermatitis (Source: www.naturaldatabase.com). There are hundreds of excellent natural ingredients that don't pose these risks, and we are pleased that ShiKai uses many of these in their products. But as with all natural-oriented lines, this isn't a brand to shop without knowing exactly what you're buying and whether or not it will do your skin more harm than good. For more information about ShiKai, call (800) 448-0298 or visit www.shikai.com.

Based on the coveted "Best" rating and the growing belief that budget brands are capable of producing as positive of results as the pricey stuff, I began to faithfully use this cream. My reward? Milia. And loads of it. I have at least 6 kernels of milia on each eye--both on the lid adea and under eye. I assumed I was over-applying the product until multiple makeup boards/blogs reported the same concern. Girls, this shouldn't be a "Best"! Sure, it hydrates. But the consequence is hardly worth it!

Your animals are really dear and also near to your heart and also it?s important to ensure they are looked after equally as well as you would certainly your very own youngsters. Pets bring us hrs of countless joy, joy and also grins and also it makes sense to say that it affects us negatively when something fails with them. There is nothing even worse compared to having to take your pet dog to the vet center because of a tick or flea invasion that just won?t disappear. Your pet cats could purchase a tapeworm from outside the house after going out on their normal outdoor expeditions and it could wind up creating lack of nutrition, throwing up and diarrhea and also your feline will not be extremely pleased. You may not have thought of this, yet dental care for your pet dogs is just as essential for them as it is for you. They depend on their teeth to consume as well as chew their food, and if they are under nourished or left in an inadequate problem then their teeth will certainly wear away swiftly and also you will end up shedding them quicker than you believe.
The good news is, all these things could be prevented by simply taking steps to prevent them to begin with. Veterinary medical facilities will certainly have every little thing you should ensure that your animals are kept healthy and balanced. Sure you could probably buy a de-worming tablet from your neighborhood grocery store but it may not be the best quality medication that your pet dog needs. A clear instance of this would certainly be the tick a flea powder that you can purchase there. The powder is economical and also quickly obtainable due to the fact that you could purchase it when you do your groceries, however it is not as effective in avoiding or removing the flea trouble. Fleas have a behavior of laying eggs in your carpetings as well as your furnishings to guarantee that they have the ability to hatch out unabated therefore the flea powder shouldn?t be limited to the dog?s fur alone. You need to acquire your carpetings and furnishings cleaned also. If you doubt of what you need to do, then you can contact your neighborhood vet and also he/she can offer you all the suggestions you require. Dental items for animals are not as conveniently available and so you would need to visit the veterinarian once again to buy the items you need to aid them keep their teeth. Veterinarians offer an entire host of solutions to your pets apart from catering for their health and wellness and it would truly assist
you to
check into to make sure the health and also happiness of your pets.

Fixed low-channel-count optical add-drop multiplexer filter concatenation experiments with 50-GHz channel spacing and 10-Gbit/s NRZ signals
Journal of Optical Networking, Vol. 3, Issue 4, pp. 204-213 (2004)
Acrobat PDF (663 KB)
Experimental results are presented for the first time of Q penalties resulting from multiple passes through commonly available fixed optical add-drop multiplexers (OADMs) in a 50-GHz channel plan at 10 Gbit/s. We find that transmission through >6 OADMs is feasible within a laser center frequency range of ±2.5 GHz with a Q penalty of <1 dB. We find expressions for the Q penalty contributions from distortion-induced eye closure and optical signal-to-noise ratio (OSNR) degradation and show that the predicted penalty functions from these components fit very well the measured Q penalty as a function of laser-frequency offset within a filter passband. Both contributions are necessary for accurately predicting the total Q penalty.

Current commercial fruit or vegetable growers and traditional farmers interested in diversifying can learn more about high tunnel production at a March 26 workshop at the Iowa State University Extension and Outreach – Harrison County office in Logan.
High tunnel production of fruits and vegetables is the topic of upcoming workshops sponsored by Iowa State University Extension and Outreach. The workshop will be held at the ISU Extension – Hardin County office in Iowa Falls on Nov. 17, and the ISU Extension – Linn County office in Marion on Nov. 19.
Iowa farming may change forever with the increased use of high tunnels. These simple, plastic-covered, solar-heated structures offer many benefits to farming – some benefits that common row crop vegetable farming cannot provide. Iowa State University Extension and Outreach has released a new publication that describes the cost benefits of high tunnel farming.
High tunnels are inexpensive, simple, passive-solar greenhouses that allow growers to extend the season and produce high yields of quality produce earlier and later than field-grown crops. However, soil around a high tunnel can erode or become saturated after rainfall. This potential problem has been turned into an asset, thanks to a one-year research project conducted by Iowa State University Extension and Outreach.
In May 2011, Iowa farm women began sharing their experiences in central Africa, where 80 percent of the farming is done by women. The collaboration was developed by a farmer-to-farmer project through Iowa State University's Value Added Agriculture program with cooperation from a Ugandan nonprofit organization, Volunteer Efforts for Developing Concerns (VEDCO).

"Poor Customer Service Ever!!"
07/19/13 Le'Peaches N Columbia, South Carolina, United States
My kids grandfather got a room for my mama and my children to enjoy the pool because it was very hot... when my children and I approached the pool, the manager came out with an attitude and asked what room we came out of, and I told him, he then told me that my kids and I couldn't get in the pool because we were guest of their guest. When I got back in the room and reported what the manger told me about us being able to get in the pool, he got real nasty and rude with my mother and hung in her face, not once but twice.. The customer service there is very poor and I would not recommend it for anyone to enjoy themselves at their (guesthouse) expense. The small pool that was there was filled with bugs and straw an other things on the floor. I wouldn't want to deal with anyone's attitude, especially when your running a motel that you would want people to come back to and you think its ok to talk to anyone any kind of way. Just poor customer service and too much attitudes to deal with.

First off, I was told the I could bring my dog, and the total for one night would be $47. WHAT A DEAL. When I arrived, I was charges $60. What ever. No big deal. The room smelled like a dirty ashtray. I've stayed in rooms that have been smoked in before, but this was horrible. IF you ever think of staying here, make sure you ask for a non-smoking room. I am not sure about the dry brown stuff on the bathroom door, but it looking liked it had dripped down the front and back of the door, and there was hair stuck to it too. I stayed in the back of the Hotel, and it looked like there was an older building that used to be part of the hotel. There was a silver Dodge Charger that would cruise back and forth with it lights off, and park in front of the older hotel. I could not tell what he was up to, but I think he was using the other old hotel for something. It was not something I wanted to find out. I am just glad I had a large dog, and brought a fire arm. I wanted to talk to the staff about this, but they really did not look like they would care. When I went to check out in the morning, the guy at the from desk was pretty put out by having to run my card. I left happy to be out of that place.

You will note there were several other people who had reservation issues and couldn't get a resolution. I am one of those! I actually ended up with 2 different reservations and my Travel Agency and I have tried since March 6th to get a resolution. Naturally we only needed one reservation, but ended up with two. Yea, right...the front desk clerk said "no problem to change the reservation to only 2 nights...which is how we ended up with 2 reservations - one for 2 nights and one for 3 nights. We have contacted the hotel and Guesthouse International and to date no resolution. We tried to resolve this in-person during the Masters 2012 week and ended up leaving. We simply could not and would not stay at a hotel that is being managed/owed by such dishonest people. In addition, the lobby (where one would think would look half-way presentable) was horrible and smelled bad. Believe everyone of these reviews...I wish I had... 2 reservations, didn't stay any nights, out over $700...shameful...

We stayed here 1 night during 2012 Masters week (Augusta is 22 miles). What a dump. First of all, with hotel rooms running at a premium, this is the last place to expect upgraded rates ($150 for 2 dbl beds --normal is $40) but they didn't disappoint us. Has that odor of cleaning products similar to those found in a large country in southern Asia. Paint was flaking off the walls in our room. The advertised pool (today it was 90 deg) was still in it's winter mode --covered and unkempt. Can't claim false advertising here! I would not recommend this to an enemy!

"Would only suggest for single males or groups for a single night."
09/07/10 TrvlKiwi San Diego, California
The hotel is under new management and in the process of being renovated. The room we had was typical economy. No worse and definately worth the price. There was a fridge and a microwave, which was very convient. The bed was comfortable and as clean as I ever trust hotel beds to be. There were very few guests besides us, so things were quiet. But betwwen the lack of other guests, the relative seclusion on the hotel, and the ghost towny look of the back unattached part of the hotel, (they haven't don't renovations on it yet) I strongly doubt that I would have stayed there if I were traveling alone. The gas station in front of the hotel didn't bring in the best crowd either. The locations is good if you need access to I-20 in a hurry. Other than that, downtown aiken is a 20 minute drive. There's a waffle house within walking distance and a Subway attached to the other gas station across the road. The hotel pool and free breakfast hours are pecular. The pool is opened from noon to 9 pm. Why noon? Its not like there was a lifeguard to work around. I don't see any other logical reason to prohibit someone their morning swim. The free breakfast consisted of milk, orange juice, coffee, frosted flakes, raisin bran, and what looked like poppy seed muffins. They closed the breakfast at 9 am and had very strict rules about not bringing any food back to the room. I'm sure there are some early bird travelers out there, but I think for most of us, closing the breakfast before 9 am is too early. The only thing that really irratated me was the room cleaning service. We stayed there 5 nights and the room was only cleaned twice. Granted they did knock two other times at an ungodly early hour, but appearantly this was the only round they made. If you want the room cleaned later you're SOL, no matter how long you leave the sign on the door for the room to be cleaned. I find this to be unacceptable, because there were so few other guests and so little other stuff for the staff to do. So, I would only suggest this hotel to single males or groups that wanted to stay in a quiet place near I-20 for 1 night.

Do yourself a favor and stay elsewhere. Rooms are thread-bare and they are very stingy with the towels. We only stayed here because there were no rooms left in town for the soccer tournament. Our credit card was charged for rooms we cancelled with their front desk clerk (with her permission) almost three weeks after the fact. They said nothing to us at check-in about this.

3. Sign Kenny Phillips
4. Draft any OL/WR combo in rounds 1-2
5. Re-Sign Dwan and Cap ONLY if the money is right and definatly re-sign Phillips.

Draft Oline with our first first rounder
Sign a better free agent TE to be the #2 behind Olsen
Sign Steve Breaston and give him a shot to be the #3
Sign a back up QB that fits cam's mold better than Anderson did
Posted 22 February 2013 - 12:06 PM
Just out of curiosity who are some wr free agents you think we may target?
We won't know who is available until free agency starts and everyone makes their cuts or signs and franchises whoever they can. So any speculation right now is not going to be very accurate and will be subject to change.
But if I were looking for a guy it might be one of the following: Dwayne Bowe might be willing to accept less to play for a contender versus floundering around with KC. Hartline might be convinced that Miami is not the one. Breaston is an interesting guy who was just released by KC as well. Other guys like Amendola, Welker, Wallace or Jennings are going to draw significant interest and bucks elsewhere.
There are a number of lesser name guys like Devery Henderson, Dominick Hixon, Ramses Barden who might be worth looking out if they are there. Hixon and Barden are both Giants with previous ties to Gettleman.
Posted 22 February 2013 - 12:26 PM
Cut Gamble, Edwards, Anderson, Williams (June 1).
Beason either a restruture or cut.
Look at Olsen for possible restruture and Smitty. Smitty might be willing to negotiate a little. Take more guaranteed cash now and possibly retire before the backend of his restruture comes up. Olsen is one of those guys like Godfrey....2014 they are slated for too much as is so something is going to have to be done anyway.
Draft BPA in 1st excluding QB, RB and ILB.

Through the Eyes of Love,
By wvano "wvano" (Philadelphia, PA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Seeing Beyond Depression (Paperback)
Jean Vanier, noted spiritual author and founder of the L'Arche communities for people with learning disabilities, gently describes various aspects of the causes of, experience of, and recovery from depression.
Though neither a clinical analysis nor a first-person narrative, Seeing Beyond Depression is informed by both psychological theory and personal experience. Vanier's approach is to provide a meditative mixture of realism and hope intended to speak to the spiritual state of the depressed person. The author's tone is that of one friend caring for another, and this slim volume would certainly make a thoughtful gift to a friend who is depressed, even if that friend is yourself.

Easy read and encouraging,
By Emily Chapman (Nanaimo, BC, Canada) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Seeing Beyond Depression (Paperback)
This book is an easy, enjoyable read. I bought it for a family member and read it myself first. I disagree with the author's belief that all depression stems from childhood hurts inflicted (intentionally or unintentionally) by the parents. He refers to those supposed childhood hurts a fair bit. Other than that, though, this is an encouraging book that offers the reassurance that you are not alone in the way you feel and there is hope and light to look forward to, beyond the depression.

Behavior Support | News
Next month, Rethink will release a new tracking tool for monitoring and conducting behavior assessments that also provides resources to assist in creating and implementing student behavior plans.
Rethink--which is perhaps better known for its Autism-focused, video-based curriculum and PD services--designed the behavior support tool, which was developed by teachers, in part to help teachers to identify student behavior challenges.
Using it, teachers collect and input various information about student behavior. Taken together, that data can be analyzed, and from that teachers can conduct behavior assessments, create behavior support plans, and track student progress on the platform.
According to the company, educators can integrate students' Positive Behavioral Intervention and Supports (PIBS) plans as well as track time spent on compliance with IDEA requirements regarding behavior support. A library of instructional videos on related topics is also available.
The tool has been piloted by several educators over the past few months and is slated for a September release, both for tablets and the web.
