If Neils Miller doesn't have a statue in Appleton, Wisconsin, he should. You'll be hard pressed to find someone who has had a larger impact on the welding industry than Mr. Miller. Back in 1929, he saw a need for a small, affordable arc welder that would operate on the type of electricity readily available in rural Wisconsin. Using American ingenuity, he cobbled together scrap metal, core and coil materials and hammered out that first welder in his basement. Six short years later, Miller Electric Mfg. Co. produced an industry-changing industrial welder and the rest is history.
Throughout the 40's, Miller's machines powered war efforts in the shipyards and defense plants. In the 50's, Miller played a key role in the construction of most major planes, jets, fighters and missiles. Companies like Boeing, Cessna, Lockheed, Douglas all used Miller machines in their factories. The 1970's brought the introduction of the Millermatic machines; the first power source with a built-in wire feeder.
Today, Miller Electric continues their dominance in the marketplace with machines like the Millermatic 211 and the Dynasty 200 DX, Auto-darkening welding helmets, and the Diversion 180 AC/DC TIG Welder. Miller's full line of welding machines and welding accessories give their loyal customers plenty of reasons to "Bleed Blue."

Walking along the old marble floors, the young five year old was looking at pictures that were hung on the wall. Her long brown hair was pulled into two pigtails. Her green eyes shifted from photo to photo, not looking away from them. There were tons of memories, lots the girl didn't know of. It confused her in a way as she made her way down the hallway.
"Amity?" A voice came out from somewhere in another room. A woman with long red hair walked out with a pregnant belly. "What do you think you're doing?" A smile lingered on the woman's lips.
The girl, Amity, looked around as if she did something wrong. "Nothing, Mommy." Her gaze was now on a photo that was hanging proudly on the wall. "Mommy...who is that?" She pointed with her small fingers.
Her mom looked at the photo and didn't give her an exact answer. She just bowed her head to look at Amity. "Amity, how about we go make some cookies?" The best way to get out of this is by changing the subject.
Amity mind wasn't on the mysterious person in the photo. "Cookies!" She squealed and ran down the long hallway to the kitchen. The sound of her footsteps got quieter as she rounded a corner and waited.
With a sigh, Amity's mother looked at the photo. Her daughter pointed at something that wasn't in the photo. There was only two people in the photo and Amity pointed at someone, or something, that wasn't even there. Her heart started to speed up faster and then she was snapped out of her thoughts by her impatient daughter.
"Mom, hurry up!" Amity screamed in her squeaky voice. "I want some cookies!"
The older woman took one last glance at the picture before retreating towards the kitchen. -
"That can't be possible. She was looking at someone that wasn't in the photo?" A woman's voice asked from the other end. "Is Amity...seeing things, Cassandra?"
Cassandra thought back to when Amity looked at that photo. It couldn't be possible. Her daughter was seeing dead people. "I don't know, Julie. She was looking at the photo we took after...it was when we went down to the lake when we were nineteen." Cassandra let out a huff of frustration. "My daughter is human. She isn't anything else."
"You never know. She could be a Mourden." Julie shrugged from the other end. "That's what John was and is now."
Cassandra was about to explode with anger. "This can't be happening. Not to my daughter. I thought we all ended this years ago?"
Julie moved around a bit to get comfortable. "If she is a Mourden, then that means she isn't fully one until she's seventeen, Cassandra. So calm down. Sometimes this thing doesn't happen. Some people are lucky enough to not be this way." She bit her lip. "But...it is common for most Mourden's to become their angel-vampire self."
Tears welled up into Cassandra's eyes. "No...my daughter can't be one of these monsters. She can't be this way. I left town so that I could get away from this all. We all said we'd get away from this all. We banished the supernatural from coming back." A tear slid down her cheek. "I...If you think that this is a good thing, you're wrong."
"This is not a good thing. None of this is. I never said that it was good. But if the supernatural-"
"No. Stop talking. The supernatural are not allowed on the grounds of Crowsborough anymore. If they do..." The woman stopped talking when a screaming came from down the hallway, Amity's bedroom. "I-I'll call you back." She hurried to end the conversation. Without another look at her phone, she ran to her daughters scream filled room. "Amity?"
Amity was standing off in a corner of the room with tears running down her cheeks. Her face was all red and she was staring at something in front of her closet. Amity was still screaming and yelling at the invisible creature.
Cassandra stood there in complete shock, frozen in place. "Amity? Sweetie...are you alright?" She managed to un-cement herself from the wooden floorboards and kneel down to her daughters level. "Oh, Amity." She hugged her daughter tightly.
The young girl wrapped her arms around her mothers neck, her eyes still on the unknown figure. "Mommy..." She said through tears. "...she's standing right there."
A/N- Hello there! This is my second story I've posted for Fictionpress. The first one I deleted due to the fact that I thought it wasn't good enough. Now I actually tried to start a RPG (Roleplay Game) on Tumblr based on this plot...but I didn't get any co-admin applications and I can't run a blog like that by myself. Plus my bio's that I made sucked, in my opinion.
But if anybody is interested, I might remake the RPG based on this plot and you all can audition for a character or co-admin. I don't know...

The present application is related to co-pending and commonly assigned U.S. patent applications Ser. No. 10/217,149 entitled "SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR CALL TREATMENT;" Ser. No. 10/642,532 entitled "CENTRALIZED CALL PROCESSING;" Ser. No. 10/701,549 entitled "SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR CROSS-HATCHING BIOMETRICS WITH OTHER IDENTIFYING DATA;" and Ser. No. 11/334,522 entitled "SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR KEYWORD DETECTION IN A CONTROLLED ENVIRONMENT FACILITY USING A HYBRID APPLICATION;" the disclosures of each of which are hereby incorporated herein by reference in their entirety.
The present invention relates generally to identity verification, and more particularly, to identity verification using continuous biometric monitoring.
Some telecommunication providers offer services to residents of controlled-environment facilities. Examples of controlled-environment facilities include prisons, police departments, hospitals, hospices, dorms, and camps, among others. In order to control, monitor, or restrict telephone usage among its residents, a controlled-environment facility may employ a call processing system.
In a typical call processing system, a personal identification number (PIN) authorization mechanism may request that a resident provide a PIN before placing or receiving a call. After the resident enters his or her PIN, the system determines the resident's identity and decides whether to allow him or her to operate a telephone. The call processing system may then apply a set of calling restrictions or rules associated with that resident. For example, some restrictions may prevent the resident from calling specific non-resident parties. Alternatively, other restrictions may only allow the resident to call specific parties and/or may establish a maximum number of calls that can be made or received by that resident at that time. Yet other restrictions may include preventing the resident from initiating a three-way call, taking part in a conference call, or the like.
An alternative to PIN-based systems involves the use of biometrics. The term "biometrics" refers to technologies that measure and analyze human characteristics for authentication purposes. A biometrics-based call processing system may acquire a resident's biometric sample before allowing the resident to place or receive a call. The system may use the biometric sample to determine the resident's identity, and it may then grant access to a telephone while applying a set of rules or restrictions associated with the resident.
The inventor hereof has discovered a number of problems with both PIN-based and biometric-based authorization mechanisms. Particularly, a problem unique to controlled-environment facilities such as prisons is that inmates frequently attempt to circumvent identity verification procedures. For example, inmates may share, trade, buy, and sell PINs, which may then be used by any person in possession thereof. An inmate having another's PIN may gain access to the system while avoiding particular call restrictions that would otherwise be applied to his or her calls. Moreover, an inmate may have his or her biometric feature scanned by a biometric authorization mechanism and, upon successful completion of this initial authentication procedure, he or she may hand the phone to another inmate who actually conducts the call. Consequently, authorities seldom know with certainty which inmate actually participated through the entire course of a phone call, despite the presence of a PIN and/or biometric identity verification procedure.
The inventor hereof has also identified a need to monitor and record the identity of a person who is actually participating in a telephone call, even if that person's identity is not susceptible to verification prior to, or during the ongoing call. For instance, when a crime suspect is arrested, he or she has the right to make a phone call. During this first phone call, the suspect may call a friend or a co-conspirator to provide instructions regarding a crime in which the suspect is involved. Accordingly, it would be useful to law enforcement agencies to have the ability to record the identity of that suspect while knowing with certainty that it was he or she who actually conducted the entire telephone conversation, even though his or her identity may only be ultimately verified or matched at a later time.
Aspects of the present invention are directed generally to identity verification using biometric monitoring. In certain embodiments, the identity of a device operator may be verified through the continuous monitoring of at least one of his or her biometric traits. Therefore, even after the successful completion of an initial authentication procedure by which the device operator gains access to a device, embodiments of the present invention may continuously verify the operator's identity during operation of the device. The term "continuously," as used herein, means "constantly" or "reoccurring in rapid succession." As such, a record may be created which contains the biometric traits and/or the identity of all persons who have operated the device since the original authentication procedure. In addition, where there may be a need to control or otherwise restrict usage of a device according to access rules associated with a device operator, the present invention may allow these rules to be updated as a function of which operator is actually using the device.
Certain embodiments of the present invention are particularly well suited for use in the monitoring of telephone calls between residents and non-residents of controlled-environment facilities. Controlled-environment facilities include correctional facilities (e.g., municipal jails, county jails, state prisons, federal prisons, military stockades, juvenile facilities, detention camps, and home incarceration environments), healthcare facilities (e.g., hospitals, nursing homes, mental health facilities, and rehabilitation facilities, such as drug and alcohol rehabilitation facilities), restricted living quarters (e.g., hotels, resorts, camps, dormitories, and barracks), and the like. Certain controlled-environment facilities may be thought of as a small community or city, perhaps walled or otherwise access restricted, wherein various activities occur within the community and between the community and those outside the community in the daily operation thereof. Such a community may include a number of individuals and enterprises directly associated therewith, including management, staff, and inmates, residents, patients, or guests (herein referred to as "residents"), and a number of individuals and enterprises indirectly associated therewith, including friends and family of residents, vendors, government agencies, providers of services to residents, and individuals connections to the facility or its residents.
In one exemplary, non-limiting embodiment, a method may comprise determining the identity of a party to a telephone call by continuously monitoring a biometric feature of that party while the telephone call is in progress. If authentication fails while the call is ongoing, appropriate action may be taken. For instance, the call may be terminated, a warning may be issued, the call may be recorded, authorities may be allowed to listen in, etc. In another exemplary, non-limiting embodiment, a system may comprise a biometric sensor that is built into a telephone handset or otherwise placed near the telephone at a location where it is accessible to persons operating the telephone. The biometric sensor may take biometric readings of telephone users continuously, at selected time intervals, or upon the occurrence of a specific event, such as, for instance, a change in voice tone or print, the presence of a keyword or sound in the conversation, the expiration of a time limit, or the like. In addition, the system may comprise a database for verifying the biometric traits or the identity of persons who have used the telephone, and for storing a call record or a telephone conversation. Hence, an investigator may later retrieve those records and determine the identities of one or more of the parties that actually participated in the call and/or of one or more parties that participated in the call at particular times during the call.
The present invention has numerous advantages. For example, whereas prior art PIN and biometric authentication mechanisms only verify the identity of persons attempting to gain access to a device, the present invention may verify the identity of persons who have actually operated the device. For instance, if a person uses another's PIN to place a telephone call, the present invention may detect, via continuous biometric monitoring, that the PIN or biometric sample used to obtain access to the telephone does not belong to the person actually participating in the call. Moreover, if a person successfully completes an initial authentication procedure and subsequently hands off the phone to another person while the call is ongoing, the present invention may also detect that change and take appropriate action.
The foregoing has outlined rather broadly the features and technical advantages of the present invention in order that the detailed description of the invention that follows may be better understood. Additional features and advantages of the invention will be described hereinafter which form the subject of the claims of the invention. It should be appreciated by those skilled in the art that the conception and specific embodiment disclosed may be readily utilized as a basis for modifying or designing other structures for carrying out the same purposes of the present invention. It should also be realized by those skilled in the art that such equivalent constructions do not depart from the spirit and scope of the invention as set forth in the appended claims. The novel features which are believed to be characteristic of the invention, both as to its organization and method of operation, together with further objects and advantages will be better understood from the following description when considered in connection with the accompanying figures. It is to be expressly understood, however, that each of the figures is provided for the purpose of illustration and description only and is not intended as a definition of the limits of the present invention.
For a more complete understanding of the present invention, reference is now made to the following descriptions taken in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, in which:
In one exemplary embodiment, a user may attempt to operate a device (not shown) that is associated with biometric array 101. Biometric array 101 may be mounted on or built into the device, and at least one sensor 102 of biometric array 101 may continuously acquire at least one biometric sample from the operator while he or she operates the device. According to certain aspects of this exemplary embodiment, the "continuous monitoring" performed by CBS system 100 may be such that the interval of time between the acquisition of successive biometric samples from the operator is small compared to times typically required by actions performed by the operator during normal device operation. Further, it should be noted that continuous biometric reading may take place regardless of and/or in addition to an initially successful authentication procedure.
Biometric readings are communicated to processor 104, which executes instructions contained in CBM application 105. Processor 104 then compares biometric samples acquired by array 101 with biometric records or files stored in biometric records database 106. If the user's identity changes while the device is being operated, processor 104 may take appropriate action. For example, under the direction of instructions contained in CBM application 105, processor 104 may block access to the device by the unauthorized user. Alternatively, processor 104 may play an announcement to the parties involved in the operation of the device, place restrictions or otherwise limit functionality available to the current device operator, alert the authorities in charge of supervising operation of the device, and/or monitor or alter parameters related to the device's operation (e.g., increase sensitivity of 3-way call detection, increase level of web content filter, etc.), among others.
Processor 104 may record usage and other information in activity log database 107, including which operations were performed, the begin and end times of each operation, the biometric traits of the operator, the identity of the operator, as well as particular characteristics of the operation (e.g., telephone number dialed, a website visited, etc.), among others. This information may later be used, for example, as evidence to prove which persons actually participated in the operation of the device. Furthermore, in some situations, processor 104 may also record the operation itself in activity log database 107. For example, where the device is telephone, the telephone conversation may be stored in database 107 along with the associated usage information.
As a person of ordinary skill in the art will readily recognize in light of the present disclosure, system 100 may be employed in a wide variety of situations. Nonetheless, system 100 is particularly well suited for use in the monitoring of inmates' phone calls made to or from a prison. As previously noted, the unique problem involved in the monitoring of a prison's telephone system is that inmates constantly attempt to circumvent authentication procedures. For example, an inmate having another's PIN may gain access to the telephone system while avoiding particular call restrictions that would otherwise be applied to his or her calls. Moreover, an inmate may have his or her biometric feature scanned by the biometric authorization mechanism and then hand the phone off to another inmate who actually conducts the call. The inventor hereof has discovered that a solution to the aforementioned problem includes verifying the inmate's identity using continuous biometric monitoring as disclosed herein.
In one embodiment of the present invention, while at least one sensor (e.g., 102-1) continuously monitors a first biometric trait of the user, at least one other sensor (e.g., 102-2) monitors a second biometric trait of that user at selected time intervals, periodically, and/or upon the occurrence of a specific event, such as, for example, change in voice tone or print, detection of a keyword in the conversation, expiration of a time limit, etc. For instance, sensor 102-1 may continuously acquire a voice print from the user during a telephone conversation. If the voice print changes during the call, sensor 102-2 may scan the user's fingerprint in order to confirm the user's identity.
Biometric array 101 is connected to CBM module 103, which may verify the inmate's identity. In one embodiment, biometric array 101 communicates with CBM module 103 via the phone line used by inmate phone 210. Biometric array 101 may also connected to CBM module 103 by dedicated wires, wirelessly (e.g., IEEE 802.11), or via a computer network. In other embodiments, CBM module 103 (or some portion thereof) may be embedded within inmate phone 210. Communications between inmate phone 201 and external phone 203 may travel through telephone switch 202, such as may comprise part of a service provider's call processing system or may be part of the Public Switched Telephone Network (PSTN), and which is connected to CBM module 103.
CBM module 103 may take action as specified by CBM application 105 depending upon whether identity verification is successful with respect to a call in progress. For example, CBM module 103 may control switch 202 in order to disconnect an ongoing call being conducted by an inmate other than the inmate initially authorized to participate in the call. CBM module 103 may also control switch 202 to tap into a phone call in order to allow authorities 204 to listen to an unauthorized ongoing conversation.
In one embodiment, an inmate enters a PIN number into inmate phone 201 to obtain initial identity verification in order to place or receive a call. In another embodiment, an inmate's Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) tag or bracelet is detected by an RFID reader (not shown) connected to CBM module 103 for granting initial access to inmate phone 201. Alternatively, the inmate engages biometric array 101 to perform an initial authentication procedure. Even after the inmate's identity has been verified, biometric array 101 may continue to monitor one or more of the inmate's biometric features. For example, one sensor of biometric array 101 may take biometric samples continuously while another sensor may take other biometric samples at selected time intervals, and/or upon the occurrence of a specific event, such as, for example, change in voice tone or print, presence of a keyword in the conversation, or the expiration of a time limit. In one embodiment, the conversation is continuously monitored for a change in voice print. Upon detection of change in voice print, system 200 may confirm the identity of the inmate currently the phone by taking another type of biometric sample from the inmate. Exemplary systems and methods for cross-hatching biometrics which may be used in conjunctions with system 200 are described in the above-referenced U.S. patent application entitled "SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR CROSS-HATCHING BIOMETRICS WITH OTHER IDENTIFYING DATA." By using biometric cross-hatching, system 200 may increase the confidence level that the same inmate who was initially authorized to make or receive the call is the one actually conducting the conversation. In addition, system 200 may be used to monitor and record unlawful or undesirable activities in a call log database. And, as a person of ordinary skill in the art will readily recognize in light of this disclosure, system 200 may be used in a wide variety of environments where it may be necessary to determine the identity of a person who is actually operating a device.
Referring back to
In one embodiment, the computer system may be accessible in a restricted manner. In another embodiment, access to a computer program residing in the computer system, or a particular feature of the computer program, may be restricted to authorized users. In yet another embodiment, a website may be accessible in a restricted manner. For example, upon receiving a request for access, a restricted website may send or activate an authentication program within the computer system. The authentication program may contain instructions for performing continuous biometric monitoring while users visit the website.
In one embodiment, a user enters a password or a combination of username and password in order to make or receive a VoIP call and/or to gain access to a computer system, program, or website. Alternatively, the user may provide a biometric sample for initial identity verification via mouse 401. After the user has been granted access, mouse 401 may continuously take biometric samples from the user in order to verify the identity of the user while the VoIP call is in progress or while the computer system, program, or website is being accessed. The computer system compares biometric samples acquired by mouse 401 with biometric records or files stored in the computer. If the user's identify verification fails while he or she is conducting the VoIP call or accessing the computer, program, or website, processor 104 may take appropriate action. As such, the computer system may guarantee that the same user who was initially authorized to use the system, program, or website is the one actually using it. In addition, the computer system may be used to monitor and record the user's activities.
Still in step 503, a match is sought for biometric samples acquired and a determination is made of whether the identity of the inmate currently participating in the ongoing telephone call matches the identity of the inmate originally authorized to place or receive the call. If the continuous authentication of steps 502 and 503 fails, appropriate action may be taken in step 504. For example, the ongoing call may be disconnected, a warning may be issued to the inmate or a third party, the call may be recorded, and/or authorities may be requested to listen to the conversation. Others actions may include recording usage parameters, including the called or calling number, the begin and end times of the call, the biometric traits of the inmate who initially authenticated the call along with her identity, the biometric traits of the inmate who actually participated in the call along with her identity, and/or a recording of the conversation.
Bus 602 is also coupled to input/output (I/O) controller card 605, communications adapter card 611, user interface card 608, and display card 609. I/O adapter card 605 connects storage devices 606, such as one or more of a hard drive, a CD drive, a floppy disk drive, a tape drive, to computer system 600. In one embodiment, storage devices 606 may comprise biometric records database 106 and call log database 107, depicted in
Program, software, and code segments making up the various embodiments of the present invention, including CBM application 105 (depicted in

Hello! My name is Jose Taule. I am from San Juan, Puerto Rico, but have lived in Cincinnati, Ohio for 20+ years. I love my family, my fiancee Debra and her daughter and have a wonderful son and two beautiful granddaughters with whom I enjoy spending my leisure time with. I also am an avid golfer and love all sports, but especially baseball. I am also a real estate investor, a realtor, and a jewelry store owner. I have a BBA in Business Administration and service in the US Army as Military Police (1982-1988).
Jose Taule purchased this condo in 2005
I bought this condo in Fajardo, Puerto Rico because it is one of the best areas in Puerto Rico to have a vacation w/its spectacular views, the rain forest and beautiful beaches. It also gives me a place to stay when I get the opportunity to go back to Puerto Rico and visit my family.
My favorite things to do when I'm staying at my property is looking out at the view from my balcony and feeling the ocean breeze, going with my cousin, Miguel, on his boat to visit the islands and the pristine beaches, going to El Yunque Rainforest, day trips to Old San Juan, and the night life in San Juan and at the El Conquistador Resort and Casino. And, of course, visiting with my family!
This was our second time to stay in Jose's condo for a wonderful stress free week. Jose is very easy to work with and does everything to provide an enjoyable stay. Miguel met us at the airport with the keys and took care of everything we needed. The view is magnificent and the condo very clean and comfortable. It even smelled good. My husband liked the big screen TV and A/C, although with the ocean front breezes, you don't really need it. We could still hear the roosters every morning and watch the manatees in the ocean. From the 28th floor, ( I repeat) the view is to die for. We went to the historic town of Ponce, El Yunque rainforest, Old San Juan twice, Bacardi Rum Factory, Luquillo Beach and found two new wonderful places to eat. Don't miss going to Las Vistas for breakfast and Don Esteban for lunch or dinner (both in Fajardo and both remarkable). Thanks, Jose. We can't wait to come back :)
This place has a million dollar view.Miguel met us at the airport on time to drop off the keys.The condo was very clean and comfortable and well maintained. We stayed a week and not one day did we need to use A/C. We opened all the windows and took advantage of the breeze that's always blowing. We could hear the surf all day and the roosters in early am. How cool!We took many day trips including the Old City; El Yunque rain forest ; The Arecibo Observatory and many more . The restaurants Di Yukas: Tapas Le Lo Lai are a must as well as Calizo. All close by. El Varadero Cafe for breakfast ,lunch@ the marina across from Di Yukas rest.Vistas Cafe was also a great experience. I have already recommended to relatives and friends. Planning on returning soon.
I want to start by apologizing for taking so long to write a wonderful review about this rental apartment in Puerto Rico. My name is Nexa and I stayed from April 1st through April 8th in Jose's condo along with my 15 year old daughter and my 8 year old grandson. I will start by saying the place is BEAUTIFUL! It is very clean and the view is amazing. Jose and his nephew Miguel, were very helpful every time I called. From the living room you can look down like Jose says, and you can see the manatees, well my daughter and my grandson named these manatees. They were only able to see two, so here are their names: Gilbert and Quinby. I will end this by saying that we will definitely be back to stay at Jose's condo. Thank you so much Jose!
I need to apologize for such a late review, but after returning from a wonderful vacation in Puerto Rico, we came back to reality--the holiday celebrations came (Thanksgiving, Christmas and New Year's), planning of two birthday parties within a five month period and life in between delayed my review.
First, I want to say that my experience with Jose was beyond awesome. From my first e-mail to my last phone call with him, all I can say are positive things about our vacation. He always answered my e-mails and phone calls (even when we were in Puerto Rico). He was extremely helpful & offered suggestions of what to do around the area. For some things, you will need a car, but you may want to take a nice walk and enjoy the scenery.
Second, I must say that his place is amazing. Someone met us at the car rental place to give us the keys for the condo--which I thought was extremely nice of them to do that. You need a card to park in their private lot & there was ample parking. We always felt safe. Once in the apartment, we looked out & the views are way beyond gorgeous. He wasn't kidding when he says he has the best views on the island! Every morning whether rain or shine, we would look out the windows--all we saw were the beautiful waters, the islands nearby and the gorgeous sky. It was absolutely spectacular! You can't beat the views anywhere... seriously! Did I mention that we saw manatees too? Yes, it was that cool! The apartment was perfect for the three of us--two adults and a small child. The apartment was very comfortable, quiet, clean and roomy. We even thought about purchasing a place of our own--especially if it had views like this one.
Third, we were pretty close to certain eateries & beaches. We rented a car because we wanted to venture out & check out the island. My fiancé is originally from Puerto Rico, so he knew most of the places we visited, but we did follow some of Jose's suggestions.
This was an overall great experience. Working with Jose was extremely easy from beginning to end. This was the first time I've rented from VRBO & all I can say is I'd definitely do it again if every owner is exactly like Jose. My fiancé & I would definitely return to his condo if he had the availability during the time we plan to visit. In fact, we're thinking of returning to PR very soon.
Thanks again, Jose, for renting out your condo to us last year. Hopefully, we'll see you soon! People... one word... AWESOME!
Such amazing views and great apt!! Lots of light and cool (no need to switch on AC). Very clean, well furnished, plenty of towels, great shower. Kitchen had everything we needed, we ended up having dinner at home every day enjoying the sunset and the views. We are very picky, but this time we could not find anything to complain about the apt.
Located 5min driving from the ferry to Vieques and Culebra, and 15min driving from Ceiba airport (ferry tickets were sold out...). Grocery stores, pharmacy, and good panaderia nearby. This was our fourth stay in the Fajardo area and so far the best! We wish we had an extra day just to enjoy more the balcony, the pool, and the condo private beach.
Jose and Miguel promptly replied to our emails and texts, and Miguel was very nice and gave us good tips on what to do in the area. Thanks! We will be back next year.
My wife and I spent two weeks in this condo and loved it. The location is the best. The condo is clean and so is the building. It has a large pool and sun deck to go with it. Or the re are many beaches close by. Owner is up front and helpful, and we will sure stay again. You can just relax or their are many things to do close by.
A variety of activities for day and evening are here for your pleasure. During the day, you can take the ferry to nearby Culebra or Vieques Islands and enjoy some of the most beautiful beaches in the world. For an additional fee, call Captain Mingo at 787 383-6509 in his 25' boat he will take to Icaco Island (20 Min. ride) for $30.00 round trip and enjoy a day of swimming, snorkeling or fishing. Another nearby daytime activity is the El Yunque Rainforest...Beautiful waterfalls, walking/hiking trails, vistas and foliage. A little longer drive will take you to Old San Juan...shopping, restaurants, and history. Nearby evening activities include dancing, gambling, shopping, and restaurants at the El Conquistador Hotel. My favor Charter catamarans, that will take you to Icaco and or palomino islands for a day of snorkeling, terrific beach, good food and drinks and of course great music. Take Catamaran name Barefoot V with Captain Robert and tell him Jose send you.
Other Activities: restaurants, casino, dancing

When it comes to eating, you can have too much of a good thing. Even fruit! We only need small amounts of nutrients to get the vitamins and minerals we need.
Keep this in mind and remember to keep an eye on portion sizes. In many cases, what's normal now is much more than we need.
Drink water before each meal. Having a glass or two of water before your meals will help you feelfuller, without adding any extra calories.
Reduce your plate, bowl and cup size. Using smaller dishes can help you keep your portion sizes in check. Try using a salad plate for dinner, a small saucer for cereal and yogurt, and small glasses for juice and milk.
Ask for smaller sizes at restaurants. There is a short size (8 oz.) at Starbucks, that isn't advertised.
Eat slowly. It takes time for your brain to recognize when you are full. Eating slowly gives your brain a chance to receive the appropriate signals from your digestive system to signal satiety.
Don't eat from the package. We cannot judge how much we've eaten when we pick straight from the bag or box. Take one serving out of the package and set it on a plate or in a bowl so that you can see exactly how much you are eating. This will make it easier to stop before you eat too much.
Don't eat in front of the television or computer. If you eat while watching TV, surfing the net, or even reading, it takes your focus away from the food and makes you more likely to over consume.
Eat nutrient rich foods. If you feel the need for a larger portion, fill your plate with mostly vegetables or salad, and enjoy a smaller portion of those higher calorie foods.

detox eta: Mid-May
Hallo, my name is Kathryn, and I've been planning to use a week-long raw food detox to kick-start a vegetarian lifestyle ... but after reading so many wonderful stories and recipes about Raw Foodism, I'm considering taking my plans a step further. I don't know that I'll ever go fully raw, but with so many yummy options, I don't think it'll be much of a sacrifice to incorporate an increasing number of Raw meals into my diet.
A little about me, and what has brought me to this point:
Most ... ok ... /all/ of my life, I've lived a very SAD lifestyle and diet. Many times, I have vowed to eat healthier - you know, less fast food, more home cooked meals, but I've never followed through with any amount of real conviction.
I've always had issues with my stomach balance. My appetite comes and goes - frequently and violently. For a month or two I'll overeat, but in the following month(s) I can hardly bring myself to eat at all. And as though that weren't enough, shortly after being promoted to The Job from Hell (one year ago), my stress levels skyrocketed. It wasn't uncommon for me to throw up three or four times a week at its worst. Before alarm bells go off, let me assure you that I was /thoroughly/ displeased by this. I love food. I am not now, nor have I ever been bulimic.
I have since left said job, and things have been slowly returning to normal. Through (painful) process of elimination, I've been able to pinpoint precisely /what/ has been setting off my stomach, and most of the time it ends up being ... meat.
But is this any big surprise?
Vegetarianism was my major Goal for 2009. Yes, it has taken me this long to really mentally prepare for "taking the plunge". But the longer I take, the more it solidifies in my heart and my mind that this is the right thing for me to be doing. My body has been staging a full-on revolt, trying to tell me in every way that it knows how that I'm putting it through pain. I know better.
Mid-May is when I've penciled in my detox. This is the busy time of year for my store, so I'll be working killer overtime. But there's one week next month during which I can request I work no overtime. Until then I'll be slowly making changes, meal by meal, one step at a time.
So far I've started with breakfast, the hardest meal for me to stomach at the best of times. You know what? My stomach has yet to get angry at me since I've started eating fruit or making smoothies in the mornings. And on top of that, the phlegm that normally upsets my stomach in the AM has seemed to be getting thinner. (Has anyone else noticed this?) One thing I've noticed is that my stomach acid seems to have spiked (in the form of heartburn). Is this something anyone else has experienced? What have you done to combat this?
Any advice you may have regarding detoxing (what vitamin supplement would you suggest?) would be appreciated. Other than that, I just wanted to say "Hi" and how excited I am to get this ball rolling!
green smoothies and lots of them! They take away your cravings for sweets and other things. Greens will help the stomach acid problem too. You may want to start adding digestive enzymes. I used to have a lot of stomach problems and enzymes are amazing. Preparedness is the key to success. Make lots of raw snacks and have cut up fruits and veg around for grazing. That way when a snack attack comes around you can just grab and go. Keep plenty of whole fruit handy too. I always have an apple tucked away in my purse.
you will be amazed at the difference in your health simply by eliminating meat and dairy. Also you may detox, so be prepared for some flu-like symptoms.
What digestive enzymes would you recommend?
your stomach acid is probably spiking because you are mixing cooked and raw foods.
hm, I hadn't thought of that, zin. Thanks.

Calif. high court asked to take up high-speed rail
SACRAMENTO, Calif. (AP) — Gov. Jerry Brown's administration on Friday petitioned the California Supreme Court to overturn two lower-court rulings that have stalled progress on the state's high-speed rail project, one of the nation's most expensive public works projects.
The petition seeks an expedited review and asks the court to overturn two decisions that prevented the state from selling $8.6 billion in voter-approved bonds. The lower-court rulings also require the high-speed rail authority to write a new financing plan.
The governor, the rail authority and the state treasurer argue that the rulings prevent California from quickly starting construction on the $68 billion project and could hurt the state's ability to finance other voter-approved projects in the future, a change of course for the officials, who previously said the rulings wouldn't significantly affect the project.
"The trial court's approach to these issues cripples government's ability to function," the 49-page petition filed late Friday said. "The rulings thwart the intent of the voters and the Legislature to finance the construction of high-speed rail, and do so in a manner that has implications for other important infrastructure projects."
A Sacramento County Superior Court judge last year sided with opponents, who claimed the state failed to comply with the promises made to voters when they approved Proposition 1A in 2008.
He rescinded the rail authority's funding plan, ordered it to get more environmental clearances and show how it will pay for the first 300 miles of work, which is estimated to cost about $31 billion.
Stuart Flashman, one of the attorneys for the Central Valley landowners who sued the rail authority, called the state's request to the high court unprecedented and "mind-boggling."
"They're basically saying the courts have no right to do anything to stop this project," Flashman said. "When you think about it, it's incredibly disrespectful to the judiciary, very in-your-face, just — 'Shut up and let us go do what we want.'"
Friday's urgent filing casting the judge's rulings as potentially devastating to the project is at odds with repeated claims made by high-speed rail officials and the governor. Rail authority CEO Jeff Morales said after the judge's November ruling that addressing the judge's concerns would not take long and that he did not think it would "have any material effect on the project."
The state's petition says that if the Supreme Court does not review the case, allow the state to sell bonds and proceed with construction, "the future of the high-speed rail system may effectively be determined by two superior court rulings untethered from the law approved by the Legislature and the voters to build it."
Plans to build a 520-mile network linking Northern and Southern California have been plagued by years of legal and political setbacks. Construction that was scheduled to begin in the Central Valley in spring 2013 is now forecast to start sometime this spring. The state financing plan had relied upon significant federal investments to prop up the project, but congressional Republicans have effectively blocked further high-speed rail funding.

It is eight thirty
The zombies join me
I wait for them never to appear
But they hardly disappoint.
Beautiful blue skies
White gulls far away
Green seas calm
Before the winter foam.
Not enough ...
Concrete stance
Frail and lacking
Why should I see a stripped down universe?
Did you strand me here?
Too much
Too young
Until the end
For something so ancient.
Hard working
Little thinking
Too tinkering
You sit beautiful
And reclined
I sigh
For youth
Love for youth.
A labyrinth is the complex ways
Our seldom easy to plan means
NHS can only slowly rattle
A poisoning tail at the end of a path.
Physiological, tick.
Security, tick.
Belongingness, no.
Esteem, no.
Being aware of awareness
Inner peace and stillness
In the face of the hurricane
Of humanities farce.

The Luxury Prefab Home: It's Not an Oxymoron
The term "prefab" is being redefined, with a Santa Monica house selling for over $6 million, and a two-story edition going up in the posh Hollywood Hills.LivingHomes architectural that was listed at $6,750,000 and sold in a couple of weeks, your prefab horizons will be drastically expanded. Yes, the Santa Monica home is situated in the coveted "North of Montana" neighborhood and is within walking distance of the beach, but the 4,710-square-foot, four-bedroom, five-bath home is architecturally stunning in and of itself.
Mostly manufactured in Oregon, the home features soaring ceilings and towering walls of glass. There's a Corten steel fireplace with a marble hearth, a dramatic floating staircase and Control4 home automation. The Arclinea commercial-grade chef's kitchen features Crocodile Caesarstone countertops and Miele and Wolf appliances. All this and green too? The entire home has eco-friendly decking, solar heating and solar power, and was constructed with sustainable materials throughout.
green and luxurious homes are being installed all over L.A. — most in a matter of four to six hours! While shipping and crane costs might be higher than that of your traditionally constructed home, the savings incurred in putting up the bones of a home in four hours, rather than in four weeks or four months, are practically inestimable.
The cost for a residence from LivingHomes runs from about $185 to $325 per square foot, but you need to add the expense of the lot itself, design costs (10-15% of the budget), permit fees, engineering, transport and install or foundation on top of that.
And don't forget green materials used in the construction of these homes. One of LivingHomes' most recent projects, installed in hills near Lake Hollywood, has LED lights, recycled Caesarstone countertops, super energy-efficient Western Windows, formaldehyde-free cabinets and non-VOC paints and stains. It's is grey water ready and is expected to be certified LEED Platinum, as most LivingHomes are. It's a two-story comprising 2300 square feet with four bedrooms, two-and-a-half baths, and is made up of six modules. You can see it going up, as well as photos of the Santa Monica house, in the gallery below.

Rusty a Category Four brute with 230km/h winds
- From: PerthNow
- February 27, 2013
WESTERN Australia's Pilbara coast remains on red alert as Cyclone Rusty has intensified to a menacing Category Four storm with 230km/h winds at its centre.
Residents between Pardoo and Whim Creek on WA's North West coast, including Port Hedland, are bracing for the worst as the destructive tropical cyclone bears down on the remote Pilbara communities.
Overnight Rusty has intensified to a Category four, remaining virtually stationary off the coast, about 130km north-east of Port Hedland as it continues to gather energy from the ocean.
Dozens of people who live in low-lying areas of Port Hedland have relocated as the large, slow-moving storm closes in on the town.
NASA's Terra satellite has taken images from space of Rusty as it approaches the coast, with satellite data reporting the storm developing an eye 20 nautical miles wide.
Have your say

At 32, Dev or Deepak Adhikari, is the only celebrity actor to jump into the poll fray who is still working in the movies.
Dev is the highest paid and the most popular movie star in Bengal today. Even during campaigning, he found time to celebrate 100 days of 'Chander Pahar', perhaps the most expensive Bengali movie in recent times extensively shot in South Africa.
After the Uttam Kumar-Suchitra Sen era, Dev is the new poster boy of the film world of Bengal.
That made Dev's plunge in the poll fray as a Trinamool Congress candidate from Ghatal all the more baffling.
Bengali film industry insiders said Trinamool chief Mamata Banerjee reached out to Dev through Srikant Mohta of Sree Venkatesh Films, producer of some of the biggest blockbusters in recent times including Chander Pahar, and Satyaneshi, Rituparno Ghosh's last film, and also a recent entrant in the realty business through the development of Lake Mall at the heart of Kolkata. Mohta has a business relation with Dev, who has also turned producer.
"I respect Didi (Mamata) a lot, can't say no to her. I am just a face. I represent the youth," was Dev's reply when he asked why he joined politics.
That said, Dev hasn't retired from the glamour world, and was seen shooting for 'Yoddha', an equally opulent remake of Telugu blockbuster 'Magadheera' at Prayag film city at Chandrakona, located within the constituency.
A film city and a superstar actor isn't what people of Ghatal are used to. The terror of Maoists and bloody clashes in places like Keshpur between Trinamool and the Left over area dominance are what memories of people of this West Midnapore district are made up of. Keshpur is where Dev was born at Mahisda village.
The guns are silent now in Keshpur and elsewhere, and the credit is widely given to Mamata Banerjee, who brought peace to constituencies like Ghatal, Midnapore, Jhargram, Bankura and Purulia And that remains Trinamool's trump card as Ghatal goes to poll on Monday.
Dev's job was made easy when Gurudas Dasgupta, the CPI heavyweight and sitting MP, decided not to contest like several of his colleagues in the Left Front did this time.
To make Dev's job easy CPI has fielded Santosh Rana, who had lost the Midnapore assembly seat in 2011. His only challenge now is to use his star charisma to wrest Ghatal.
That's looking a possibility for Dev has been aggressively campaigning, drawing, quite expectedly, huge crowds everywhere he went, at every roadshows or rallies. "If I go to a rally near my home I can find many of my relatives. They are not involved in politics but has just come to see how big their Raju has grown," Dev keep saying.
He even reached out to the family of his paternal uncle Shaktipada Adhikary, a CPM leader in Keshpur to help him with his campaign. While Shaktipada refused, Dev's gesture to land up at Shaktipada's home and seeking his blessing was widely appreciated.
Dev's only forgettable moment came when, while giving an interview to a tabloid said the stress of campaigning and media glare make him feel like being raped. "Either you can enjoy or can shout," he had said. Bengal erupted in protest, but Dev was soon forgiven. "I m new in politics. My heart is clean. No offence meant 2 any1," he had tweeted. And that, in someway, describes Dev, the village boy turned superstar.

I don't like splitting up my development environments, but I build projects for clients who use both .NET systems and Apache-based systems. This means I am forced to split my time between Visual Studio for the .NET and Dreamweaver or another IDE for the PHP-based work. I don't want to use two IDEs - I'd much rather build everything in one.
I prefer VS for its intellisense support. It's also easier to track down bugs in JavaScript used between two different projects when the syntax coloring is consistent - every IDE colors text slightly differently, making the same file look different in each environment.
Aside from VS.Php, what solutions exist for adding PHP support to the Visual Studio IDE? VS.Php looks promising, but I don't want to shell out any cash for something that may or may not satisfy my need. Since PHP itself is free, I'm wondering if anyone's bothered to build a free extension that offers the same support. Is this possible? Or should I just bite the bullet and go with VS.Php?

Phoenix Suns
Lakers announcer was a fan of D'Antoni in Phoenix
For Phoenix Suns fans, the 2012-13 regular season has already turned into a bit of nightmare.
The Suns will have to call their former leaders rivals as they trade their familiar purple and orange gear for Lakers gold.
During the off-season, Suns' legend Steve Nash was traded to the Lakers, and now former head coach Mike D'Antoni will join him in the City of Angels.
While Nash and D'Antoni were together in Phoenix, the Suns won 73 percent of their games over four years
Seeing the two reunited can't help but bring up memories of better days in Phoenix.
John Ireland, the radio voice of the Los Angeles Lakers, joined Arizona Sports 620's Burns and Gambo Friday and reminisced about the ways things used to be for the Suns.
"I have never been to more entertaining games than when D'Antoni was winning 55 games a year with you guys in Phoenix," Ireland said. "I loved the whole act, I loved the way they won, [the way] Nash was dribbling, and there was a Globetrotters element to all of that."
Ireland has traveled with the Lakers since 2002 and said he grew up watching Magic Johnson and the Showtime Lakers.
"What you guys had from �04 to �09 was the closet things to Showtime that I have ever seen," Ireland said.
Built around Nash, forwards Amar'e Stoudemire and Shawn Marion, the D'Antoni-led Suns won the Pacific Division each of their first three seasons. However in the 2007-08 season, Phoenix traded Marion for center Shaquille O'Neal.
"I think the biggest mistake the Suns ever made was breaking that thing up and trading for Shaq," Ireland said.
At the time of the trade, the Suns had the best record in the Western Conference. But after, the team finished sixth and was eliminated in the first round by the San Antonio Spurs.
Since that time, they have only made the playoffs once.

Case Closed: One Truth Prevails - The Mirapolis Investigation
The show
Heh that's great you have that friend. I'm trying to learn more, on my own now. I took two and a half years of Japanese language courses in school. Obviously, it's not enough. Tho, the reason I made that mistake was my tiredness, not my inability to understand Conan.
my name should have been SoraMee...
This occurred to me while reading a fanfic:
What does Ai refer to Ran as? It's not "Ran-nee-chan" like Conan and Ayumi, and I don't think it's "Ran-san" like Mitsuhiko. Sometimes, Ai says "nee-san", but that's bc Ran reminds her of her sister. It's a bit strange of a question, and I think Ai kinda avoids calling Ran by any name.
(I still laugh at the dub's episode 5, Rachel telling Conan to call her "Miss Moore".)
my name should have been SoraMee...
She refered to Ran as "Miss Moore" in the opening of this game... XP
I haven't been paying too much attention maybe, I haven't noticed what Conan calls Ran out loud...
As much as I listen to the Japanese voices, the subtitles, names and all are the English dub (or adaption as many characters are in this game only I presume).
Get, Play The Undersold Triforce: Z+W, NMH, Okami!
PM of the SSR Board + Ninja of SATBK/SATFS forever
What does Ai refer to Ran as?
I just read this, and I thought about it: I think Ai's only actually spoken to Ran as Ai once over the course of the entire series, episode 425, the DJ case. There was the Desperate Revival cases, during which she lived with Ran, but Ai was playing the part of Conan during that time, and she definitely would have called her Ran-neechan like Conan does. After that, there was the Father's Old Lab case, in which we start with Ran making Ai porridge to help her cold, but Ai was pretending to sleep until Ran left. Next is, of course, the Halloween case, and it was Ran who did all the talking before fainting, so Ai still never said a word to her. And then we finish with the DJ case, but the only one she addresses by name is "Edogawa-kun." Someone correct me if I forgot a moment.
Even talking to Conan about her, I don't think Ai has ever said her name, she just seems to call Ran "that girl" or things to that effect.
"I'll be filled with joy if he's still alive. Then, I can kill him again." - Gin
also the sales for the seasons 1-5 boxsets did sell well so they so far can;t justifie trying to get a lisence for season 6 + yet the movies sell very well just noth the show
Not to sound rude, but what was your point, major_csi_fan? Are you saying Funi' should have gotten the rights to the next group of episodes for season 6 instead of getting the movies? And what do you mean the movies sell better than the TV show when you said at the beginning that seasons 1-5 sold well?
my name should have been SoraMee...

In 1934, the International Brotherhood of Teamsters voted to strike against Minneapolis trucking companies. Amidst much violence, the employers and the union eventually agreed on a contract that recognized the union, reinstated the strikers, and provided seniority and non-discrimination clauses.

Hanae Mori (new / Butterfly) by Hanae Mori
I first smelled this on a woman walking down the hallway at school and it lingered and it was absolutely heavenly! I chased her down to find out what it was, and I immediately went out and bought it. On me, it doesn't seem to last very long (I have the EDP - blue), but that's ok. It's very comforting and warm. It's what I want to wear when I need to "hug my inner child". It's a Sunday lazy afternoon fragrance. Simple. Warm. Comforting.

We were out with the Radar and AIS on. Have a new real time AIS Ap on the IPad I am trying out called Boat Beacon/ Was running it concurrently yesterday and today with my networked AIS ( Raymarine). First time I used it and the AP was spot on.
Not an endorsement yet, but at first glance worked well. Even showed time the AIS was updated. Longest one was 2 minutes on an anchored ship south of the Bay Bridge.

Levi's Basics

Designed by Mad Projects | Country: Unites States
"To launch Levi's Basics, the brand's new line of men's socks, t-shirts and underwear, Mad Projects (the licensee behind the brand) knew they had to think outside of the traditional 3-pack of briefs. With a product that stands out for its traditional denim elements, they wanted a package that was both aesthetically pleasing and functional. Each package of the 3 Series line is designed to be a keepsake, a memento and used for more than just holding boxers on store shelves.
The 200 series box is designed as a working match strike.
The 300 series is a resealable Tyvek bag, perfect for keeping coffee grounds fresh.
And the 400 series is made of authentic wood paneling."

One Percent
March 8, 2013 | 1 Comment
Designed by Ryan Romanes | Country: New Zealand
"Collectively 8 people were involved in the production of these boxes. Main contributors included a carpenter, digital printers, a wood routing specialist, engravers and myself. All of the contributors were supplied with concise instructions and illustrations, with a focus on their area of the process. It was important that certain stages of the construction were done prior to assemblage, for instance; the branding cut out and engraving on the bottom end of the box had to be completed before the panels were put together, otherwise the box wouldn't fit into the engraving bed. Likewise the sanding of the boxes happened before engraving so the marks were not stripped.
The similar tones of the corrugated card and pine complement each other while the high gloss of the acrylic band emphasizes the elegance of the brands expensive nature. The logos symbol is a stylization of the upper leg in profile, starting from knee joint and finishing at the Gluteus Maximus. The name 'one percent' references two topics, the first meaning; when exercising our body perspiration is made up of 99% water and 1% solute. Secondly 'once percent' represents exclusivity, targeting the brands high end audience. RBNo3.1 was the selected typeface. Its highly geometric form grounds the logo while movement is created when italic."
Ugmonk 4th Anniversary

Designed by Jeff Sheldon | Country: United States
"To celebrate 4 years of Ugmonk we created a special Limited Edition 4th Anniversary Set featuring a custom designed number 4. There are only 200 of these sets ever made. The 4th Anniversary Tee features a soft water-based print on black 100% ringspun cotton tee and is carefully packaged in a custom flexible birch wood cylinder that is laser-engraved with the 4th anniversary seal.
When you fold back the flexible closure on this unique packaging, you'll find the shirt accompanied by a numbered, solid wood letterpress block featuring the Ugmonk Anniversary "4." These blocks were custom cut from Ginkgo wood that was reclaimed from a local estate. You can read the whole story about the wood here.
The final piece of the set is a collector's card that I personally signed and hand-stamped with one of the letterpress blocks."

"Corresponding with an overall re-design of all of our retail store branded print collateral, I concepted and directed the design of two shoe packaging initiatives. The first was the redesign of our standard shoe-box to be more eye catching and brand correct, with subtle but clever copy and a drive to our online presence. The second was the design of specialty packaging for our most popular shoe, a thin ballet flat that is packaged, shipped and displayed in the store in an elegant tube, protected by a soft muslin bag with a grosgrain ribbon detail."

Designed by Bruketa&Zinic OM | Country: Croatia
"Brokula&Ž (Broccoli&Z) is a clothingbrand by Bruketa&Žinić OM, made from organically grown materials. With Brokula&Ž, everything good comes from within so all the clothing contains hidden messages written on the inside that can be seen only by you… and whoever undresses you. The messages are actually funny dialogs between Brokula (Broccoli) and Ž (a bird) who are the main characters of the product's visual identity. Like the products themselves, the packaging is also eco-friendly. The inks have ecological certificates, and the paper is recycled. Furthermore, the packaging is designed as a cup that you can use for something else after unpacking your purchase.
The packaging had to be as eco-friendly as possible. The biggest challenge was to design the packaging that's easy to assemble but without any glue and plastic, which at the same time serves as a fun giftwrap and a practical protection of the product. Also we had to find a recycled paper that's good enough in terms of quality and durability, and the colors with eco-certificates."
