1. Field of the Invention
This invention relates to the field of communications, and in particular to wireless telephones and TCP/IP addressing
2. Description of Related Art
The use of wireless telephones, such as cellular and satellite telephones, continues to increase. One of the difficulties with the use of cellular telephones is the incompatibility of telephones in different parts of the world. A telephone that is compatible with the cellular communications system in the United States, for example, would not be compatible with the cellular communications system in Europe. Satellite systems have been developed that use a common communications technique worldwide, but these systems are typically more expensive to deploy and maintain than conventional land-based systems.
One of the other difficulties with telephone systems, in general, is the variety of systems that are used to provide telephone communications. Cellular telephones are separate and distinct from conventional wired telephone systems such as those used in a home or office. The telephone system used in an office environment is often substantially different from a system used at home. This variety provides different capabilities for different applications, but also introduces the requirement to learn how to use the variety of capabilities. Often, for example, calls are inadvertently disconnected when a less experienced person attempts to forward a call to another party in an office environment. Often, an infrequent cellular telephone user forgets to press the "send" button, and waits idly for the call to go through.
The existence of the variety of different telephone communication systems can also make it more difficult to contact someone. An average person is typically associated with two or more different telephone numbers: a home phone number, an office phone number, a cellular phone number, a beeper phone number, and so on. Contacting the person often requires calling these different numbers until the person is reached. Similarly, each of these different telephone numbers will typically have an associated message recording capability, and to determine whether he or she has received a message, the person must contact each of the message recording means associated with the variety of telephone numbers.
In like manner, the person's "service profile" is created and maintained on each of the variety of services independently. If the person desires to use the same speed dial numbers on his or her cell phone, home phone, and office phone, for example, the telephone numbers and corresponding speed dial number must be entered into each system.
If a person changes one of his or her associated telephone numbers, as is often caused by a change of cellular service provider, the person must notify each of his or her acquaintances. Some of these acquaintances will then have to update their two or three speed dial lists. If the changed telephone number is associated with a business, the change will typically necessitate a reprinting of office stationary, business cards, and so on. These telephone-change induced problems often prevent the person from taking advantage of potentially more economical service plans, because the potential savings are offset by the ancillary costs and inconveniences caused by a telephone number change.
Cellular telephone systems have an additional disadvantage in that the service is specific to a particular telephone instrument. A very small cellular telephone instrument is convenient for travel, but may not be suitable for extended use in an office environment. Existing cellular systems, however, do not allow two different telephone instruments to be associated with the same telephone number. To gain the convenience of a small portable telephone instrument and a larger office telephone instrument, a person must incur the cost of two individual telephone accounts, and must incur the aforementioned inconveniences associated with multiple telephone numbers.
Application programs are available that allow telephone, facsimile, and videoconferencing via the Internet. Generally, this adds yet another number or identifier to the list of telephone numbers associated with an individual.
Some of the inconveniences of multiple telephone numbers may be overcome by using call-forwarding on select lines to forward all incoming calls to a single number, but there is often a cost associated with such a call-forwarding option.
It is an object of this invention to provide a telephone service that can be used world-wide. It is a further object of this invention to provide a consistent telephone interface regardless of the provider of the telephone service.
These objects and others are achieved by providing a gateway device that couples a mobile telephone with a data network, such as the Internet, for voice communications. The gateway device is configured to provide a consistent interface with a user of the voice communications facility, independent of the method of user-access to the gateway device, and independent of the access to the data network. The gateway device allows for user-access from both wired and wireless telephone instruments, and provides the user a consistent service profile, independent of the location of the user at the time of access. The gateway device provides a service, such as a conventional "Voice over the Internet" (VoIP) application, that allows the user to place and receive telephone calls to other VoIP users, or to conventional telephone service users. In a preferred embodiment, the user may use a portable gateway device, such as a laptop or handheld computer, to gain access to the data network, or may use publicly available multiple-user gateway devices that are located at airports, hotels, train and bus stations, within transport vehicles such as airplanes, trains, buses, automobiles, and so on. Upon access, the user's service profile, including speed-dial numbers and the like, are provided to the user, via the gateway device currently being used.
The invention is explained in further detail, and by way of example, with reference to the accompanying drawings wherein:
Throughout the drawings, the same reference numerals indicate similar or corresponding features or functions.
The invention addresses offering a user a phone service, which he/she can access from anywhere and at anytime in the world through a single personalized device (phone). The characteristics of this service include a universal phone service while traveling, at a conference, at work, at home, etc.; access to the service through a single wireless device, i.e., no need to use a plurality of phone devices; a single access identifier, e.g., phone number; a single personalized service profile: mailbox, call filters, synchronization with calendar, etc.
This invention is based on the observation that many of the above mentioned problems with telephony have been solved, within another context, on Internet Protocol (IP) based networks, Intranets and Internet for data services. There is a standard IP-based infrastructure all over the world that also scales to the consumer level. A user can access a single service through a single user interface all over the world. Moreover, a user can have a single access identifier, email address, with which he/she can send and receive emails, regardless of his/her geographic location. Further, a user can have a single service profile, anywhere.
This invention solves the above problems within the context of telephony by offering the phone service on IP based network with the same service provisioning concepts and allowing a user to access the service through a single mobile phone device from all over the world. This requires a gateway to interconnect the mobile device with the IP-based fixed network. A call from a first phone device to a second phone device traverses a first gateway to the IP network and a second gateway from the IP network to the second phone device. A directory server and a profile server are available on the IP network. An implementation model for such a service uses, for example, a wireless link between the phone and the gateway, such as provided by the evolving Bluetooth standard indoors and the evolving UMTS standard outdoors, or on any other method.
An evolutionary scenario for arriving at a wireless infrastructure is described below by way of example. The first phase in the evolution scenario is to allow a user of a wireless phone to access the phone service outside the roaming range of the respective mobile service. This is typically needed when the user is traveling. A simple solution is provided by a wireless link access from a mobile phone device to a gateway on the IP network, and via a multi-call gateway component from the IP network to a conventional mobile phone service network. In this scenario the gateway between the phone device and the IP network includes, for example, a PC with the respective hardware and software functionalities. A business traveler typically has a PC, which can be equipped with the gateway. Also in this phase, the wireless access link could be implemented with the outdoors wireless link method with reduced transmission power for very short distances (few meters). In the next evolutionary phase, the gateway could be installed in public places most visited by business travelers, such as airports, hotels, conference facilities, and so on. In this phase, a universal standard indoors wireless access method, such as Bluetooth, would be particularly well suited. In subsequent phases, the above gateway could also be installed at the work place and then at home as well.
Generally, computer communication systems using an IP or similar networking protocol can be configured to provide data to each connected IP address, independent of the physical location of the device associated with the IP address. A business traveler can, for example, access the Internet to retrieve his or her e-mail, regardless of where the traveler happens to be located. The same computer device and user interface that the traveler uses in the United States can be used to access the Internet in Europe. The traveler can use a small laptop or palmtop device to access e-mail while traveling, and a larger desktop device to access e-mail while at the office, and a web-TV device to access e-mail at home. Services are available that allows the same e-mail address to be used regardless of the provider of the Internet access service. The user interface with the Internet can also be provided independent of the provider of the Internet access service. The user can configure a browser or e-mail program to access different service providers, depending upon location, yet the interface to the browser or e-mail program remains the same. In like manner, the user's Internet interface can be located at a globally accessible site within the data network, so that this same interface can be accessed by the user, regardless of the device used to access the Internet.
The same globally accessible common user interface, and common service profile, can be provided to telephone users by coupling the telephone instruments typically used by a user, and in particular, mobile telephone instruments, into a data network that facilitates such a globally accessible interface.
As is known in the art, a VoIP application 120 transmits and receives telephone calls using IP addresses. The IP address may be static or dynamic. Some devices at fixed locations have IP addresses that do not change (static addresses), whereas devices at other locations (fixed and mobile) have IP addresses that are dynamically determined when the device accesses the network. Generally, a particular user of an application, such as VoIP 120 is associated with a unique "application name", similar to a user of an e-mail application having a unique "e-mail name". For ease of reference, a user's application name for a VoIP application is herein referred to as the user's voip-name. When the user accesses the network 10, an address locator 15 associates the user's voip-name to the particular IP address corresponding to the IP access device 140. The address locator 15 also associates a unique session identifier corresponding to this voip-name at this IP address, because the IP access device 140 may have more than one application concurrently accessing the network 10. As is common in the art, once an application name is assigned to a particular session identifier and IP address, other applications are able to determine the assignment, and thereby communicate with the VoIP application 120.
Conventionally, a VoIP application 120 uses the audio capabilities of the computer upon which it is running, or a wired telephone instrument 155 that is attached to the computer, to receive and transmit the audio information from and to the user. The conventional VoIP application provides features to the user via a user interface 130 that includes, for example, speed-dialing, voice-directed-dialing, address book, directory of commonly called numbers, and so on, hereinafter termed a user-profile. As discussed above, a typical VoIP installation adds yet another "telephone number" (in this case an IP address) to the multitude of numbers associated with a typical user.
In accordance with this invention, however, the transceiver 110 is configured to interact with the mobile telephone 150 in the same manner as a cellular or satellite system interacts with a mobile telephone, thereby providing an access mode that is "transparent" to the user, and, when adopted by service providers, will be "transparent" to a person calling the user using the user's mobile telephone number. The invention is presented hereinafter as a two-phase embodiment of capabilities. In the first phase, the user is provided access to a data network from a mobile telephone for initiating telephone calls from the mobile telephone, and for receiving telephone calls placed to the user's voip-name, via for example, another VoIP application. In the second phase, public telephone providers route calls placed to a conventional telephone number to a voip-name corresponding to that telephone number. The first phase provides a number of advantages to a user, independent of whether or when the second phase is implemented, as discussed below.
Consider the installation of gateway 100 in a user's office computer and home computer. In a preferred embodiment, the user-profile is located at a user-profile page 160 on the data network 10, so that it can be accessed from either the user's office computer or home computer as required. When the user is within range of the office computer or the home computer, the mobile phone 150 provides identical features and capabilities to the user, regardless of the particular location (home or office) of the user. New contact telephone numbers that are added to the user-profile, for example, are subsequently available to the user at either location, and the same options are provided to the user at either location. In a preferred embodiment, the user-profile page may be partitioned by the user into sub-profiles, to facilitate the organization of the information contained in the page, yet each sub-profile is available for use from either location, as required.
Consider now the installation of the gateway 100 in a user's portable computer. Whenever the portable computer is provided access to the data network 10, the user can use the mobile phone 150 to place calls via the data network 10, using an identical interface, and having access to the same user-profile, as in the user's home or office. Note that this capability extends to overseas locations, because, unlike telephone protocols and standards, the IP protocol is independent of national boundaries. A user traveling to Europe, for example, can use his or her US-compatible mobile telephone, via an access to the data network 10 from the user's portable computer.
Note that the user-dependent information in a preferred embodiment is located on the user-profile page 160, or within the mobile phone 150. Therefore, the gateway 100 is user-independent, and need not be directly associated with a particular user. In an office environment, for example, the gateway 100 may be located at a central server, and contain multiple transceivers 110 to service simultaneous users. Such multi-user gateways 100 may also be located in public areas, such as airports and train or bus stations, hotels, within trains, buses, and planes, and so on. Whenever a user is within the vicinity of such a gateway 100, the user will be provided the same interface, and the same set of user-dependent and user-independent features and options.
To effect this first phase, the mobile telephone 150 is configured to recognize when it is in the vicinity of a gateway 100. Mobile telephones are currently available that include a variety of communication capabilities, such as digital or analog cellular capabilities, local "walkie-talkie" capabilities, and the like. In phase one of the embodiment of this invention, an additional communication capability can be added to the mobile telephone 150, and the mobile telephone 150 can be configured to automatically switch to this additional communication whenever it detects the presence of a gateway 100. The same techniques used to select a digital mode over analog mode whenever the mobile telephone 150 detects the presence of a digital-compatible cell in a cellular system can be used to effect this automatic switch, giving overall selection preference to communications with the gateway 100. Preferably, the transceiver 110 uses the same communication protocol as that provided by the cellular or satellite service provider, and automatically "captures" the mobile phone 150 when a call is initiated in its vicinity. For example, in a conventional cellular system, the mobile phone 150 initially issues a channel request. The cell(s) within range of the mobile phone 150 respond with a channel allocation, typically by assigning the mobile phone 150 a particular CDMA code and time-slot allocation. When the mobile phone 150 responds with that CDMA code in the appropriate time-slot, communication is established. The mobile phone 150 responds to only one cell; cells that do not receive a response using their allocated CDMA code and time-slot are configured to deallocate the code and time-slot, for subsequent allocation to another mobile phone 150. In a preferred embodiment, the transceiver 110 communicates the appropriate response to the request by the mobile telephone 150, and that response serves to notify the mobile telephone 150 that it is in the vicinity of the gateway 100. In this preferred embodiment, the initial communication by the mobile telephone 150 may be, for example, a "send" request without a corresponding telephone number, that instructs any gateway 100 within its vicinity to respond.
The gateway 100 preferably transmits a periodic pilot signal, to which the mobile telephone 150 responds, regardless of whether a new call is being placed. In this manner, the gateway 100 can become aware that a recipient exists for messages that are addressed to the user's voip-name, and can effect the appropriate mapping of the voip-name to its IP address, thereby allowing incoming messages to this voip-name to be received. Note that, in accordance with this invention, multiple telephone instruments 150, 155, etc. can be assigned the same user voip-name. Messages addressed to the voip-name will be routed to whichever instrument 150, 155 "answers first", similar to "rollover" telephone exchanges, or to conventional e-mail servers.
When communication is commenced by the mobile telephone 150, via the dedicated communication capability, or via conventional mobile communications on a channel allocated by the gateway 100, the gateway 100 provides the features of the user interface 130 to the connected telephone 150, including the features and data associated with the user-profile page 160, as discussed above.
The configuration of
The foregoing merely illustrates the principles of the invention. It will thus be appreciated that those skilled in the art will be able to devise various arrangements which, although not explicitly described or shown herein, embody the principles of the invention and are thus within the spirit and scope of the following claims.

Hot answers tagged wheat
Sounds like what you're smelling is some sort of sulfur compound. That's pretty common with that particular strain of yeast. It will eventually age out. How long ago did you brew the beer? What temp did it ferment at?
Torrefied wheat can sometimes be drier, and create a good head without haziness in the beer. But if you are only using a few hundred grams / 4-8oz and not brewed the recipe before then relax, your beer will still be fine. If you have brewed it before, you might find the beer doesn't taste as crisp/dry as before.
Either way will work and not make much difference. However, if you steep at 180 you'll denature the enzymes that convert the starches to sugar. The steep should be done between 145-160F for best results.
There's a few smells you should worry about, because you're smelling the liquid. For instance, a vinegary smell (suggests acetobacter infection). There are other smells that you should not worry about, because you're smelling the gas leaving the liquid. For instance, sulphur. Most smells during fermentation are in this category, actually. Remember, you ...
The flavor will be very slightly different. Probably not enough to notice unless you did a side by side with the same beer made with torrified.
For a very precise answer, there is actually a paper published in the American Society of Agricultural and Biological Engineers journal ('Water Absorbtion Characteristics of Wheat and Barley During Soaking' Transactions of the ASABE.

Coaches Misto, Ward bring a little Westerly flair to the ECC
In 2007, Meredith Ward was the Gatorade Rhode Island Girls' Basketball Player of the Year, competing for Westerly High School where she is the all-time leading scorer with 2,226 points.
Stonington softball coach Ann-Marie Houle made a trip to the pitcher's mound in the late innings last week, her team in a dicey situation against Griswold, meeting pitcher Andrea Chiaradio, catcher Julie Royer and the Bears' infielders.
Suddenly, laughter.
"I went out in that inning and said, 'A priest walks into a bar,'" Houle said. "The kids play better loose. I didn't have a punch line, just that part."
"First she told us a joke that wasn't funny," Royer said.
Houle, whose team is 11-2 overall, 5-1 in the Eastern Connecticut Conference Medium Division heading into today's divisional matchup against New London, has tried to keep things as normal as possible for Stonington since the Bears faced a wave of notoriety following a perfect game by Chiaradio on April 21. Chiaradio's perfect day featured 21 strikeouts – every batter – and she has since been featured on TV and in Sports Illustrated's Faces in the Crowd section.
Chiaradio is 6-2 with a 1.03 ERA so far, striking out 104 and walking 12. Griswold beat the Bears last Wednesday in their first meeting of the season, 3-2 in eight innings.
"We try to stay loose, stay giggling, me anyway," Royer said. "We're just trying to play our game. Definitely, Andrea's handled it really well."
Houle said things have been unchanged with her team.
"I was screaming bloody murder at theWoodstockgame even though we were winning 10-0," Houle said. "That (perfect game) is not who we are."
Houle gives a lot of credit to Royer, who calls her own pitches.
"Julie's probably the best framer (of pitches) we've had," Houle said. "She works hard to control that part of the game. She's stepped up more than we could ever ask for this season. She gets it. Don't misunderstand her looseness. Last year sometimes it drove me crazy; this year she's grown up."
Griswold coach Rick Arremony, whose daughters Stephanie and Jess were both all-state pitchers, called Chiaradio a "true pitcher."
"I think she's pretty consistent," Arremony said. "When she wanted to throw a strike, she can throw it. But she's a nibbler. She wants to go through the whole at-bat without throwing a strike."
In 2007, Meredith Ward was the Gatorade Rhode Island Girls' Basketball Player of the Year, competing for Westerly High School where she is the all-time leading scorer with 2,226 points.
Norwich Free Academy girls' basketball coach Bill Scarlata picked up his 500th career victory Tuesday, a 49-16 win for the Wildcats over Ledyard.
Before taking over at New London this season, Holly Misto coached girls' basketball at Westerly High School for the last nine years, where the Bulldogs abided by Rhode Island's 30-second shot clock.

Cowboys owner Jerry Jones admits that he spoke with Vikings running back Adrian Peterson.
"We basically talked," Jones said. "Adrian's from Texas and certainly it was easy to talk to such a great player."
Of course Jones wouldn't admit that he talked to Peterson about possibly playing for his team one day.
Peterson came out today and said that he's never stated that he wants to leave Minnesota.

I'm trying to make the ultimate fruit ale. I've done lots of reading and have found that it seems most people who do fruit beers feel if you put the fruit in the fermentation that the yeast eats up too much of its essence. I've thought about adding to the secondary and I did do that with some fruit but hubby came home from the store with some tart cherry concentrate.
My question is this, if I'm making a 5% abv ale. And I wait for fermentation to settle down to 1.012. If I added 12oz tart cherry concentrate to the secondary, this adds 190 grams sugar into a 1 gallon. Will this lower or raise the alcohol percentage? Because I'm adding 12 oz of fluid, but also adding 6.8 oz of sugar.
Adding sugar, in the presence of yeast, will always trigger fermentation which = alcohol. Which = losing the essence you described.
A fruit flavor without sweetness is not very appetizing. From the home brewing aspect, Fruit beer should be using low attenuation % yeasts (ability to eat sugars), with grains that have unfermentable sugars in them(caramelized crystal malts) leaving a sweet taste to the beer, and light additions of hops with low bittering % which will unbalance and sweeten the profile. So that sweetness will be present with your fruit flavorings in the finished beer.
A way around this is to chemically kill and filter out the yeast, add fruit flavors and sweetening, and use a Co2 Charge to condition. I believe that is the direction of commercial breweries. This would work best with what your attempting in your post.
In this case, you're adding more alcohol content from the sugar than water content.
if you prepared the concentrate (i.e. 3 cans cold water to 1 can concentrate, like frozen OJ cans), then you could very likely dilute the potential alcohol back down to a net gain of zero or possibly even a loss in alcohol, just depends how much fermentable sugar is in the concentrate.
The addition of 12 oz of concentrate with 160g of sugar to a 1 gallon 5%ABV batch will most likely raise your %ABV a bit rather than decrease it. Probably not enough to worry about. A program like Beersmith will allow you to make that calculation pretty easily. Unfortunately, I'm at work otherwise I'd do it for you.
I disagree that you need a sweet beer as a base for a fruit beer though. Taste is relative. What tastes great to me might be horribly fruity to you. I've had many dry and fruity beers that tasted great. I've also had fruit beers that were so sweet they tasted like fruit syrup. For me it all comes down to balance. I would hesitate before adding all 12 oz of fruit concentrate to my beer. I'd probably do a little experiment first. Take 2 ounces of your beer and add the concentrate a drop at a time (Keeping track of your drops) until you can smell it in the beer. Then taste it. Judge for yourself whether it tastes right or needs more, then do the calculations for the appropriate addition to your total volume of beer. Even then only add 3/4 of your calculated target, mix and taste. You can always add more, but it is very difficult to take it out once added.
Wait a couple of days for the fermentation to stop and bottle/keg as usual.

There should be a minature warp nacelle in that gap behind the main bridge.
Running lights missing
Sovereign: really odd number on back tip of nacelle.
To add: the dish color has changed in the comics since Data's command. Current color of dish is correct, but two giant impulse engines need to be added to the underside of the hull. Check Countdown comic for details.
Also, there is no running line across the middle of the central hull ontop. Check movie picture for verification.
In addition to Prometheus: bottom AND top mini nacelle are lit in warp as well as the two top nacelles.

A Fine Line Between Wet and Dry
A parade of storms marched across West Virginia and the Mid-Atlantic during the first half of March. Nineteen of the 35 Northeast airport climate sites ranked the period among their top 20 wettest starts to the month, with Atlantic City, NJ, and Kennedy Airport, NY, being record-wet. The wet areas also tended to be snowier than normal, with 16 sites ranking the period among their top 20 snowiest. Conversely, New York and New England were quite dry, with some sites seeing less than 25 percent of normal precipitation. These dry areas also tended to be less snowy.
The chill of winter lingered into the first two weeks of meteorological spring, with temperatures running 2 to 6 degrees F colder than normal for most of the region. Of the 34 airport climate sites that were colder than normal, 13 sites ranked the first half of March among their top 20 coldest.

Statement from Alexandra Forter Sirota, Director of the Budget & Tax Center, on the final budget
Posted By Clayton Henkel On August 2, 2014 @ 12:23 pm In Uncategorized | Comments Disabled
North Carolinians want a quality education for their children, safe and healthy communities, and protections for those in need, but the final budget fails to reflect these priorities in a fiscally responsible way.Instead, the budget puts North Carolina on an unsustainable path because policymakers have failed to stop the costly tax cuts that will continue to erode the state's ability to invest in the building blocks a strong economy.

Couple hires Personal Shoplifter
MARIEMONT – To ease a hectic family schedule and increasing professional demands Daniel and Susan Helvey employed the services of a Personal Shoplifter. An increasing trend among cost conscious busy professionals, the personal shoplifting concept is briskly becoming a highly popular time saving option. Mr. Helvey commented, "We needed a Personal Shoplifter that understands our family's needs. We need to save time AND money." An extension of the traditional Personal Shopper service, Personal Shoplifting is intended to deliver added financial value to the consumer. "We've worked with a Personal Shopper before but never felt it was worth the expense." Personal Shoplifter Heather Morgan said, "I consider myself a Personal Shopper with a strategic advantage. I bring lower overhead to the table and I pass the savings onto my customers. In addition to shoplifting I also employ other creative cost savings techniques such as credit card fraud." Retail stores throughout the U.S. are adjusting business strategies to counter the rising trend in Personal Shoplifter use. GAP clothing retailers have discouraged Personal Shoplifters by offering less attractive clothing. A GAP spokesman commented. "If Personal Shoplifters have to go elsewhere to find attractive clothing then we have won the battle against this business threat."

I watch all of Fantano's reviews, but I take them all with a grain of salt.
Gian that is an incredibly dumb thing to say.

In an all-American clash, Smyczek edged Sock, 6-4, 1-6, 6-4.
"Looking back I cringe at how I reacted, although I understand why I reacted that way," Courier said.
The 34-year-old won Sacramento in the same way he won Salt Lake.
"I've been waiting (for Connors) for over 12 years," McEnroe said of his desire to renew their rivalry.
In rematch of classic U.S. Open quarterfinal, former No. 1 prevails.
The U.S. Davis Cup captain talks senior circuit, McEnroe's style, and Melbourne's swelter.
Former No. 1 rises to second title of month in Mile High City.
"It hit him right in the family jewels," noted Jim Courier.

just wanted to share
I've been reading this forum, every so often, for a while, not really sure why, since the "big" loss in my life was nearly 20 years ago:
My father died in October of 1987, the day they pulled Baby Jessica out of the well.
I remember seeing the baby emerge from the earth, pulled out on a sort of papoose-like contraption, & thinking how mean the universe was, to show me a new life being saved from the earth just at the time my father was being returned to the earth.
Later, of course, I realized that that's the way it always is & always has been, & that the timing might have been a mercy in disguise: at least I did have it put in front of me that there *is* new life emerging in this world.
Yesterday, my 85-year-old aunt, my father's sister, called & asked me to get some soil added to my father's grave, since it's all sunken in.
I promised her I would.
Then I had to call her back.
I couldn't remember where my father is buried.
As I tried & tried to think of the things that happened during that time, I realized that there's quite a lot that I simply do not remember.
I don't remember the hour-&-a-half drive to my home town, not one bit of it (thank goodness a friend drove me).
I remember looking at him in the casket & telling my other aunt that that was not my father.
She didn't even bat an eye:
she said, "yes, sylvia, that's your daddy. Look at him again."
Thank goodness for my aunts.
I don't remember the funeral, don't remember who spoke, who sang, don't remember driving to the cemetary or going home.
It was a severe blow, & the losses you all post about are severe blows, too, so:
Be kind to yourselves, be patient with yourselves, when you can't function like well-oiled machines after sustaining this kind of loss.
Give your minds/hearts/bodies/souls time to recover, & give yourself the care that you have to have in order to recover.
One other thing that I wanted to share is a dream I had maybe a year later.
In the dream, I was walking with my father through a wild area in a terrible thunderstorm, thunder, lightening, terrible winds, dark sky, rolling clouds, very scary, & I kept begging my father, "give me your hand, or you'll get lost, give me your hand & let me help you."
He finally gave me his hand, & we struggled through the storm.
Then we came to a bridge across a turbulent bayou or bay.
It was a wood & rope bridge, & it was pitching violently in the storm.
I grasped his hand & we started across.
A sudden gust of wind turned the bridge nearly sideways, my hand slipped, I grabbed the rope, & my father went into the water.
I held the rope with both hands & looked into the water, trying to find him, crying & saying I was sorry.
Then he popped to the surface & smiled at me.
He had turned into a sort of human-otter hybrid, and he swam away joyfully.
and I realized that I had to let my father go.
Whatever he was, wherever he was, he was free.
I was the one in the storm, in turbulence.
so I turned to face the wind & make my way across the bridge.
that's what we have to do.
Bless you all.
Lovely post, Sylviaand what a fabulous dream you had! I truly believe our loved ones' spirits convey messages to us through our dreams, at least those who can. We who receive them are lucky. Your dad's message was dramatic and crystal clear.
Thank you,
There is a lot of wisdom in your post, Sylvia. It reminded me of a small book I read called Bridge of San Luis Rey (Thornton Wilder) about some people in Peru who who fall to their deaths when a bridge breaks. The book has a quote in it which meant a lot to me: "There is a land of the living and a land of the dead and the bridge is love, the only survival, the only meaning."
Thanks for sharing here.
You should be a writer. Even nearly 20 years later, I'm sorry on the loss of your father. Doesn't matter how long ago it was, it's still a loss. I lost my first-born, a son, before birth in 1986, then my only other living child, my 18-year old daughter died with her boyfriend in an auto accident in June 2005. The stress of losing my daughter really messed me up, made me forget things. I called some people two & three times, telling them "the news" of what happend to Erica. I had no memory as to calling them earlier. I was putting ashtrays in the freezer. I was suddenly lost in my own neighborhood. Like you said, be kind to yourselves. Do whatever it takes to cope.
Emma in PA

Anyone have Vanilla vine cuttings available on Oahu?
I was wondering if anyone on Oahu has some Vanilla Vines that are big enough to take a number of cuttings from? DOn't have much to swap, but depending on conditions might be able to purchase if the price is right.
Otherwise, anyone know of a nursery that has good prices on them? I'd really like to pick some up!
Mahalo in advance for any information! Best to email me if you don't mind, GW hasn't been sending me notifications of replies, and I don't get to hop on here often! Thanks!
You still didn't get a reply who has vanilla vine to share or trade?
I got my vanilla vine when Oahu Urban Garden had a big plant sale last February, the plant was relatively cheap; it was in a small pot with the length of the vine reaching almost one feet, and another vine that was few inches tall in the same pot. I separate the two vines and now the long vine is more than twice its length when I got them, but the shorter one is still the same because it was eaten by slugs.
Perhaps when you are in Oahu in second Saturday of February you could visit Oahu Urban Garden. You might see them selling vanilla vines. There were a lot of different vendors out there, but I don't recall the name of the booth where I bought the vanilla vine, unfortunately.
Dave, I have a couple of vines growing along a trellis that I'm going to have to move in the near future, as we'll be tent fumigating our home soon. I can give you some cuttings when I am ready to move them. Just gotta figure out when and how to get them to you. I gave my brother-in-law a few cuttings, and most of his survived. I'm guessing its easier to transport cuttings rather than rooted plants in soil.
I got a cutting from Lyon Arboretum. I also bought one at a farmer's market at the shopping center where Costco Hawaii Kai is. Since you live on the west side, the Oahu Urban Garden Center is your best bet. See randag's post. The Oahu Urban Garden Center is adjacent to Home Depot Pearl City. My vanilla vine has produced 3 crops so far. 1st year it blossomed, only 3 attempts at pollination took, and the ants got the beans before I could. Second year, I finally figured out how to pollinate, and got a maybe 3 dozen beans. Third year (2011), smaller crop because I didn't fertilize, so after 2011 harvest, I will be fertilizing. Note that it took several years before it bloomed, but I admit to neglecting it.
I'm afraid this is a little off subject but I'm hoping someone has experience growing vanilla. I have a vanilla orchid and this year it flowered. I tried to polinate the flowers in order to get some vanilla pods. I was not sucessful in producing any pods and I wonder if any of you have been sucessful and could offer some advice on polination of vanilla orchids. The plant I have grows well and has grown among the branches of a small acalypha shrub/tree in my courtyard which is completly open to the weather. Any advice would be appreciated.
If you are from Oahu, as of today, I saw two 4-gallon-pot of Vanilla plants at Lowes in Waikele, not the two-color variety vanilla, just green leaves, though. In each pot, there is more than 5 rooted vines growing and quite healthy. A lot of vines is more than a foot long if stretched. It cost about 48 dollars or so, can't exactly remember the price.
The plant that I had, bi-color variety, white and light green, I bought years ago didn't survive; I neglected it, unfortunately. I forgot to water the vines and it shriveled and dried up.
If you are in Ewa, I'm sure you could grow vanilla plant; just give it regular irrigation and plant it on an area with dappled sunshine.
I usually check Craigslist for interesting plants/garden tools for sale. Found someone who happens to be selling Vanilla plants for 5 bucks.

Published October 1993
We examined the mechanisms of enhanced insulin sensitivity in 9 male healthy athletes (age, 25 +/- 1 yr; maximal aerobic power [VO2max], 57.6 +/- 1.0 ml/kg per min) as compared with 10 sedentary control subjects (age, 28 +/- 2 yr; VO2max, 44.1 +/- 2.3 ml/kg per min). In the athletes, whole body glucose disposal (240-min insulin clamp) was 32% (P < 0.01) and nonoxidative glucose disposal (indirect calorimetry) was 62% higher (P < 0.01) than in the controls. Muscle glycogen content increased by 39% in the athletes (P < 0.05) but did not change in the controls during insulin clamp. VO2max correlated with whole body (r = 0.60, P < 0.01) and nonoxidative glucose disposal (r = 0.64, P < 0.001). In the athletes forearm blood flow was 64% greater (P < 0.05) than in the controls, whereas their muscle capillary density was normal. Basal blood flow was related to VO2max (r = 0.63, P < 0.05) and glucose disposal during insulin infusion (r = 0.65, P < 0.05). The forearm glucose uptake in the athletes was increased by 3.3-fold (P < 0.01) in the basal state and by 73% (P < 0.05) during insulin infusion. Muscle glucose transport protein (GLUT-4) concentration was 93% greater in the athletes than controls (P < 0.01) and it was related to VO2max (r = 0.61, P < 0.01) and to whole body glucose disposal (r = 0.60, P < 0.01). Muscle glycogen synthase activity was 33% greater in the athletes than in the controls (P < 0.05), and the basal glycogen synthase fractional activity was closely related to blood flow (r = 0.88, P < 0.001). In conclusion: (a) athletes are characterized by enhanced muscle blood flow and glucose uptake. (b) The cellular mechanisms of glucose uptake are increased GLUT-4 protein content, glycogen synthase activity, and glucose storage as glycogen. (c) A close correlation between glycogen synthase fractional activity and blood flow suggests that they are causally related in promoting glucose disposal.

Right you are, Mr. Awbrey. Thanks for pointing this out.
As Kevin Costner said in Field of Dreams, "If you build it, they will come." And, I assure you they will indeed.
This is like watching a train wreck. We all know how it's going to end, but difficult not to watch it happen.

soy candles
busyhummingbird68July 19, 2014
Has anyone used coconut oil in soy candles? I read that it helps with frosting, and scent throw?
I have not made candles in years. I did try the coconut oil and to me it did seem to help. I want to say I used a tbsp per lb of wax, but I can not swear to that amount. I got too frustrated with soy and switched to regular wax. I also did half soy and half regular sometimes also. Hope that helped.

VIERA, Fla. (AP) - Washington pitcher Gio Gonzalez says he and the Nationals are still waiting to hear from Major League Baseball, which is conducting an investigation linking him and other players to an anti-aging clinic in Coral Gables.
The 27-year-old left-hander did not answer questions about the report on Wednesday, but he did make a statement to reporters, saying he hadn't heard anything yet officially from MLB,'' but plans ``on sitting down and cooperating with them.''
Gonzalez says he is ``confident this is going to come out good.''

Real fraud
Original post made by Ted Rudow III, MA, Palo Alto High School, on Mar 28, 2012
In 2008, Bank of America received a $45 billion taxpayer bailout, but the bank has also received billions more in what could be described as shadow bailouts. The bailouts have helped Bank of America's market share grow. It now controls more than 12 percent of the nation's deposits, as well as 17 percent of all home mortgages.
But new questions have arisen over how Bank of America may actually benefit from the deal because the settlement includes a legal waiver to allow banks to escape billions of dollars in lawsuits. There are much, much bigger problems in the areas of creating loans and securitizing the loans. The real fraud was when Bank of America or some company went to a union and said, "Here's a whole bunch of mortgages we want you to buy. They're AAA-rated. They're all good." And they left out derogatory information about how bad the loans really were. That was the real fraud.

"Take A Little Ride" With Jason Aldean…Behind The Scenes!
You love the song..now "Take A Little Ride" right on behind-the-scenes and see a sneak peek look at the video for Jason Aldean's new single. The music video will premiere this Friday, August 10th on CMT, kicking off "Jason Aldean Weekend" on the network. The behind the scenes video is available now on PEOPLE.com and you can click HERE to watch the video!
"It's always really cool to be at the front of a new project and to see the music start coming to life," said Aldean. "Shaun was really great to work with, and he used some editing techniques I've never seen before in a music video that really give the song an extra shot of energy."
"Take A Little Ride" is the lead single from Jason's fifth studio album and it's already breaking records! The song has cruised up to No. 15 on the Billboard country songs chart in only its third week, making this his highest debut to date.
Jason Aldean has been on fire lately, as all of his 2012 My Kinda Party Tour dates have sold out so far this year, setting many attendance records, including his first show as a stadium headliner last Sunday in Columbus, OH. The show is presented by State Farm® and you can visit www.jasonaldean.com for a full list of current tour dates.

1,145 Cutler Bay, FL Appliance Manufacturers and Showrooms
As anyone who's ever tried to fix a broken garbage disposal or install a new microwave oven can tell you, sometimes hiring an appliance professional is worth every bit of the cost. Appliance problems can be time consuming for many homeowners to diagnose and repair, and a botched attempt can lead to bigger hassles and more money out of pocket. And with some appliances, such as ranges, grills and other pieces powered by gas, hiring a pro is a smart safety precaution.

Kim Kardashian cheated her fans by posting Photoshop versions of her body on Instagram. Kanye West's soon-to-be wife has been showing off her rather impressive post-partum body a few weeks since giving birth to daughter North in June, but it appears that she's just fooling everybody with help from the graphics editing program.
The 33-year-old "Keeping Up With the Kardashians" star claimed that she regained her famous figure right after giving birth by working out and cutting carbs from her diet, but apparently, that's not all that she did.
She forgot to add that she also used Photoshop to achieve her figure.
Kim recently posted workout pictures on her Instagram account. In the selfie pics, she's with model Blac Chyna, showing off their curvy backsides and their cleavages. But like her previous selfies, these recent ones are also alleged to have been Photoshopped.
Peeje T, a master Photoshop user who has quite a following on Instagram, explained why he believes that Kim has altered her photos.
"Now, before I begin, I must say this is all purely speculative, [since] I actually heard Kanye [West] might have brought curved doors to Ikea over six years ago," the Photoshop expert quipped to Radar Online.
"In the first pic, which I'll call the Booty Pic, I have diagrammed with a red line how the door should look if it was a normal, straight-edged door. You can definitely see a gap at the same level as Kim's chest. This would be caused by using a tool to expand her breasts."
He added, "There also seems to be a more subtle distortion on the floor. The underlying red line shows how the tiles should be where the blue line follows the actual markings on the floor. You might notice how it follows the same contortion as Kim's waist and hips."
"In the second pic, which I'll call the Stomach Pic, you will notice the door curves out at Kim's midsection," he pointed out, adding that "the curvature of the door is actually different from the first picture!"
As for Blac Chyna, Peeje said, "everything looks natural to me ;)"
Peeje didn't think that Kim even needed Photoshop to look good.
"If I can give any tips to Kim, I would tell her not to use any editing and be proud of that post-pregnancy body. Don't get me wrong, though, if she really wants a little Photoshop done here and there, she can always give me a call. (PLEASE CALL ME.)"
One of Peeje T's Photoshop photos on Instagram
It's not only Peeje who thinks that Kim manipulated her selfies to look more curvaceous than actual.
Video and photo production expert Devon Talbert of Devon T Productions also told Radar that he believes that Kim digitally altered her photos.
"I did ask myself why Kim would go through all the trouble of importing her photo to Photoshop to tweak it and then report it as an Instagram. But then again, there are so many photo phone apps that I guess you're only a few swipes and pinch away from the perfect body [at all times]!"
Reactions on social media vary, with Kim's fans either defending her use of Photoshop or denying the same completely. Her critics, however, are furious.
"It's really pathetic the length people will go to alter their appearance, obviously their (sic) thirsty for attention," Instagram user arpysarumyan wrote.
"I wonder what in her life that she portrays to everyone is real?seeing as she is soooo great at Photoshop," another named tui_girl added.
UPDATE: Kim's spokesperson has denied the claims, telling E! News that she "definitely did not" Photoshop the images.
