A simplified user interface for an image database management system is described. The interface provides a menu driven system for generating a search query. A remote server generates a result containing images that satisfy the search parameters in the query. The interface then displays the images in the result as simulated slides. A user organizes the simulated slides for a presentation by manipulating the simulated slides. The slides may be manipulated on a simulated light table or by placing the slides in a simulated slide carousel. The slides may be freely transferred among the light table, slide sleeve, and slide carousel. Handling images as simulated slides on equipment familiar to the user substantially reduces the time needed to learn how to use the user interface.
1. A method of manipulating query results comprising the operations of:
transmitting from a browser a query to search an image database collection;
receiving a result of the search and displaying a plurality of images in the result as simulated slides in a simulated slide sleeve, the simulated slide sleeve including an outline of a vacant area to accommodate additional simulated slides, the simulated slides including a picture region, and a corresponding frame surrounding each picture region to simulate the appearance of a 35 mm slide;
moving at least one simulated slide from the simulated slide sleeve to a simulated light table, the at least one simulated slide to be combined with other simulated slides in a group;
providing for user-defined sequencing of the simulated slides, the user-defined sequencing including the operations of loading the simulated slides into a simulated carousel, the simulated carousel including an icon to simulate a 35 mm slide projector and a window to display the contents of slides loaded into the simulated carousel; and,
processing the group of simulated slides in the order in which said simulated slides are loaded into said simulated carousel.

6. The method of
7. A method of organizing retrieved images comprising:
displaying a sequence of fields, each field in the sequence of fields matching a corresponding image;
selecting the fields to display in the sequence of fields by selecting images from a template and moving the images to a carousel icon;
selecting a field in the sequence of fields;
displaying an image corresponding to the selected field;
moving the selected field to a different position to form a new ordering of fields; and
reordering a sequence of images to generate a new image sequence, each image in the new image sequence sequenced in the same order as its corresponding field in the new ordering of fields.
8. The method of
retrieving a simulated slide sleeve including an associated search result;
selecting simulated slides from the simulated slide sleeve; and
adding fields corresponding to the selected simulated slides to the new ordering of fields.
9. The method of organizing retrieved images of
using the reordered sequence of images to create a multimedia slide show.
The present invention relates to data retrieval and display, and more particularly to an intuitive system which represents the data as simulated slide photographs with attributes of same.
As the price of electronic memory storage systems drop, many images formerly stored on paper have been converted into electronic files and stored in electronic databases. The databases typically include image management software that allows a user to organize and access the images.
Users interact with the image management software through a user interface. An input device, such as a keyboard or mouse, facilitates interaction with the user interface. Using the input device, the user inputs information that allows the image management software to select images from the database.
One problem with current user interfaces is user difficulty in mastering the commands for interface use. Before inputting information to initiate a search, users typically must first read detailed instructions. This is due primarily to the non-intuitive nature of most current user interfaces for image data search and processing. After the search result is returned by the computer system, manipulation of the search result for export to other programs or for designing a presentation is also not intuitive.
Although intuitiveness of interfaces may not be critical where users are very familiar with the computer system and associated software, these search interfaces are inappropriate for environments in which occasional or casual users regularly access the system. A public library is one example of such an environment General public access to these image database systems results in the expenditure of substantial library resources to assist library patrons in performing image searches and manipulating the results of the search.
Thus, an improved interface that simplifies the input of information used to initiate a search and simplifies the manipulation of search results is needed.
In order to reduce the learning time for user interfaces for searching an image database and for manipulating retrieved images, the present invention simplifies the query process that initiates a search and allows the results of a search to be handled using techniques typically used to handle photographic materials, such as 35 millimeter (mm) slides or the like.
In one embodiment of the invention, a user inputs a query by choosing search parameters from a pre-selected group of search parameters displayed on the screen. Each chosen search parameters allows the user to add search criteria that limits the scope of the search parameter defining the search. After the user inputs and transmits the query, a remote computer returns a search result consisting of images that satisfy search parameters in the query. Each image in the search result is displayed as a simulated photographic slide. The slides are displayed in a simulated slide sleeve. The user interface allows simulated slides to be removed from the simulated slide sleeve and sorted or rearranged on a simulated light table.
When preparing a presentation, a "digital carousel" that simulates operation of a photographic slide projector carousel is used. The digital carousel facilitates sequencing of images for presentation by reordering slides according to a list that is manipulated by the user to create a user defined sequence. The digital carousel later displays the images in the user defined sequence. When a presentation compares two or more images, two or more digital carousels may be used to simultaneously display images allowing the comparison of two user or more defined sequences of images.
Most users are familiar with techniques used to handle photographic slides. Thus, allowing users to handle the results of a image database search using techniques that are typically used to handle photographic slides substantially reduces the learning time for using the interface to the image database system.
A more complete appreciation of the invention and many of the attendant advantages thereof will be readily obtained and understood by referring to the following detailed description and the accompanying drawings in which like reference numerals denote like elements as between the various drawings.

FIGS. 6A and 6B show a simulated carousel used to arrange and sequence a series of simulated slides.
FIG. 1 shows an architectural overview of a system 100 used to store and retrieve images. As used herein, the term "image" is not limited to "pictures" but may include any arbitrary representation of data, including graphic and/or textual data. In FIG. 1, a user enters a query on a processing system such as workstation 104. The query specifies search parameters and is entered into a query interface. (One example of a query interface for receiving search parameters is described below with reference to FIG. 2) When used in a network environment, one method of implementing the query interface is in a browser, preferably a Java compliant browser such as Navigator from Netscape Corp. or Explorer from Microsoft Corp.
In FIG. 1, library web server 108 serves as a gateway to access library management server 112 and image server 116. Initially, library web server 108 maintains a first Java program (a search applet) and a second Java program (a gateway). The gateway serves as an intermediary between the search applet that is downloaded to workstation 104 and servers 112, 116.
When a user begins a session at workstation 104, library web server 108 transfers the search applet to workstation 104. Workstation 104 runs the search applet in a web browser. To minimize damage from viruses, the web browser places several restrictions on downloaded Java programs such as the search applet. One of these restrictions allows the search applet to initiate network connections only to the server that transmitted the Java program (library web server 108). Because the search applet cannot initiate network connections to other networked computers, the search applet running on workstation 104 cannot initiate network connections to library management server 112 or image server 116.
Unlike the search applet, the gateway executing in library web server 108 is an installed Java program. An installed Java program is less restricted and may execute instructions that initiate network connections to a variety of computers. Thus, the gateway executing in library web server 108 is able to initiate connections to both library management server 112 and image server 116. The gateway acts as an intermediary that transfers information between the search applet running in a browser on workstation 104 and software running in library management server 112 and image server 116.
After receiving a search query, library web server 108 forwards the query to library management server 112. In one embodiment of the invention, a communication protocol such as ANSI/NISO Z39.50-1995 is used to communicate data between library management server 112 and library web server 108. Library management system server 112 stores a plurality of meta-data records. Each meta-data record includes text data associated with a corresponding digital image. Examples of data that may be included in a meta-data record include the title, the author, the subject, and a description of the corresponding digital image. The corresponding digital image is stored in image server 116.
When a query is received from library web server 108, library management server 112 searches the meta-data records for corresponding information. A "result" is returned when the search is completed. The result includes all meta-data records that satisfy the search criteria. Image server 116 also retrieves and transmits digital images that correspond to the meta-data records in the result. Library web sever 108 receives both the meta-data records and the corresponding digital images in the result and formats the result for display on the browser in workstation 104. Although in FIG. 1, library management server 112 and image server 116 are shown as two different servers, in an alternate embodiment the functions of image server 116 and library management server 112 may be combined into a single computer. Also, in alternate embodiments, library web server 108 may be coupled to many servers across a network, each server across the network providing images or meta-data records to library server 108.
In order to generate a query, the user first enters the queried data into an input interface or search screen. A typical search screen and appropriate search screen transitions are illustrated in FIGS. 2A, 2B and 2C. FIG. 2A shows an initial search screen 200 that appears after a standard welcome screen. FIG. 2C illustrates the elements of FIG. 2A as well as additional elements that are acquired as the query is generated. The initial search screen 200 includes a plurality of drop down menus 202 entitled FILES 204, SEARCH 206, VIEW 208, and PAGE 210 shown in detail in FIG. 2C. When a search is to be conducted, search parameter buttons 212 are provided. Selecting a search parameter button allows the input of a corresponding search parameter. In the illustrated example, each search parameter corresponds to a field of data in each record of meta-data stored in library management server 112. The illustrated search parameter buttons include word 214, title 216, author 218, and subject 220. Alternate embodiments may include different, or additional search parameter buttons. A user can additionally specify whether only the image based documents (such as images with describing meta-data) or text based documents (such as technical papers or books) are to be searched, or whether both the images based documents and text based documents are to be searched. Selecting the appropriate search delimiter in delimiter boxes 222 defines whether image or text based documents are searched.
When a particular search parameter button 212 is selected, such as the title 216 search parameter button, a title input box 224 appears as illustrated in intermediate screen 226 of FIG. 2B. A user can input the entire title or selected words from the title. When the user selects search button 228 after entering the title, workstation 104 of FIG. 1 transmits the query to the library web server 108.
In some queries, a single search parameter may produce too many matches and thus an inconveniently large result. Selecting a second search parameter button 212 identifies a second search parameter or a second field to be searched.
FIG. 2C shows a third input screen 230 that illustrates an extended input box 232. The extended input box 232, including areas for the input of author information, results when the author search parameter button 218 is selected. In order to define a search query that utilizes more than one search parameter, boolean function box 234 allows selection of a link. The link defines the relationship between the multiple search parameters. In the illustrated embodiment of FIG. 2C, the two search parameters "title" and "author" may be connected using the links "and", "or", or "not". Use of the boolean function "and" requires that each meta-data record retrieved in a search result satisfy both search parameters, "or" requires that each meta-data record satisfy at least one search parameter, and "not" requires that each meta-data record retrieved satisfy one search parameter and not satisfy a second search parameter. These logic functions may be further extended to cover additional search parameters for added flexibility. However adding additional search parameters increases the complexity of the system to the novice user.
After input of the search request and initiation of a search by selecting search button 228, the browser transmits the query to external or remote computers such as library management system server 112 and image server 116. The remote computers return a result that includes images and meta-data records that satisfy the query. The result is returned to the browser on workstation 104.
FIGS. 3A, 3B and 3C show how the result may be displayed. In FIG. 3A, the result is displayed to the user in a series of uniform sized miniaturized or "thumbnail" images 304, 306, 308, 310, 312 in a slide sleeve 302. A standard frame, such as frame 312, surrounds each thumbnail image. The combination of image and frame simulates a photographic slide.
The size of each image and frame is standardized to a common size. The aspect ratio of each image matches the aspect ratio of a standard 35 mm photographic slide. Likewise, the frames surrounding each image are also sized to simulate the dimensions of a standard 35 mm photographic slide. Unusual sized images may not have the correct dimensions or aspect ratio for a slide image. In such cases, bordering regions, or black "shadow bars" may be used along the sides of the image. For example, elongated thumbnail image may be either vertically or horizontally oriented. Image 312 illustrates a landscape (horizontal) orientation with horizontal shadow bars 314 running across a top and bottom. Image 304 illustrates a portrait (vertically) oriented image with horizontal shadow bars 316 on a left and right side. Text describing the image, such as text 317, may be included on the frame.
A simulated slide sleeve 302 (hereinafter "slide sleeve") contains the simulated slides of the result. Slide sleeve 302 simulates a photographic (e.g., 35 mm) slide sleeve of a photo album. A left portion of slide sleeve 302 includes selectable viewing options 318. The setting of the viewing options determines whether associated text data is displayed and the size of an image to be displayed. Slide sleeve border 322 outlines the boundaries between slides as well as unfilled elements 320. Unfilled elements are elements in the slide sleeve that do not contain an image simulating a slide. Unfilled elements are sized to accommodate additional simulated slides that may be received. In one embodiment of the invention, the slide sleeve is displayed as if it were arranged on a simulated light table 321. That is, displayed as if it were on a surface having a backlight and light diffuser to facilitate viewing the image without the need for projecting that image. Thus, the display simulates light passage through the images and around the perimeter of simulated slide sleeve 302.
In FIG. 3A, slide sleeve 302 is configured to contain twelve images. When a search result includes more than twelve images, additional slide sleeves associated with the additional images are layered underneath the displayed slide sleeve 302. A page information caption area 324 displays the total number of slide sleeves as well as the sleeve number of the current displayed slide sleeve. A page button 326 allows the user to move forwards and backwards through the layers of slide sleeves (e.g., such as if a user were turning the pages of a photograph album containing slides in sleeves).
When a larger view of a particular slide is needed, the slide is selected. Typically selection occurs by moving a pointer or cursor over the slide to be viewed and activating a switch (such as pressing a button on a mouse). The selection may be highlighted using a number of techniques. One method of highlighting the selection alters the color of the frame surrounding the selected image. Display of the selected image may be changed by selection of option settings. In particular, the option setting chosen from selectable viewing options 318 determine how the selected image will be displayed (whether in a large or medium format and also whether associated meta-data will be displayed).
Screen 340 of FIG. 3B illustrates the appearance of the display screen when "medium" is selected from viewing options 318. In screen 340, an enlarged image 342 of the selected image 308 is displayed. When "large" size is selected from viewing options 318, the image 342 is further enlarged. Scroll bars 344, 346 on either side of enlarged image 342 allows viewing of different parts of enlarged image 342.
FIG. 4 illustrates different fields of meta-data that may be displayed when the "info" button is selected from viewing option 318 of FIG. 3. In FIG. 4, illustrated fields include the author of the image 404, the image title 408, the image summary 412, the location of the original work 416, the index file name 420, the library card number 424, image notes 428, and copyright information 432. The foregoing list is only an example of possible fields. Other fields may be appropriate depending on the type of work displayed. For example, photographs may include fields containing camera information, aperture settings, and lens focal lengths.
After the results of a search have been produced and displayed as slides in a slide sleeve, the graphical user interface of the present invention allows the user to manipulate the slides. FIG. 5A illustrates one method of reorganizing digital images on a virtual light table. As previously discussed, slides in the simulated slide sleeve can be selected. Once selected, the image of the slide may be viewed in different sizes with different associated information. Alternately, a selected image 504 may be moved as indicated by arrow 506 and deposited onto a light table (background) 508 where the selected image can be sorted and/or organized. A "grayed" or shadowed image icon remains in the sleeve to indicate that the image was copied to the light table.
Images copied to light table 508 may be rearranged or organized. For example, related "slides" may be organized into stacks 512, 516 as illustrated in FIG. 5B. Individual slides 520 may remain ungrouped for repositioning in subsequent groupings. Slide sleeve icons 524 allow users to retrieve the full slide sleeve. Retrieval of the full slide sleeve allows slides or groups of slides to be inserted into the slide sleeve as well as allowing selected additional slides from the search result to be removed from the slide sleeve.
FIG. 6A illustrates a convenient method of organizing the slides for a presentation in a "carousel" configuration. A carousel configuration simulates the output of a photographic slide projector carousel in that a series of images are organized and displayed in a predetermined sequence dictated by the ordering of images in the carousel. In carousel 604 of FIG. 6A, a list 608 of titles appears below an image. The order of the tides indicates the ordering of the images. When a user selects a tide in list 608, a reduced image 616 corresponding to the tide is displayed. A pointing device such as a mouse may be used to insert, delete, or reorganize tides or groups of titles in the list 608. Rearrangement of the titles results in a corresponding rearrangement of the images in the carousel. In one embodiment of the invention, the images in the carousel can be moved to and from a slide sleeve without disturbing the ordering of slides. Thus ordering can be done either in the carousel or in the slide sleeve.
A carousel window 602 displays the contents of carousel 604. While carousel window 602 is displayed, other windows that provide associated meta-data or larger selected images may be displayed in other windows by selecting options from the VIEW drop-down menu 603. Carousel window 602 includes scroll bars 612 on a side and bottom of the window perimeter. A miniature or "thumbnail" of an image 616 corresponding to a title selected from list 608 appears at the top of the carousel window. Carousel icon 620 allows a user to handle all slides in list 608 as a group. The shape and form of carousel icon 620 depicts a traditional photographic slide carousel used in slide projectors. In one embodiment of the invention, labels may be associated and displayed with each carousel to differentiate between carousels.
One use of slide presentations is to compare and contrast two or more images. To facilitate such comparisons, a second simulated carousel 624 corresponding to a second carousel icon 628 may be displayed adjacent to carousel 604 as shown in screen 640. Placement of the two carousels 604, 624 side by side allows a viewer to compare and contrast two images. The placement also allows comparison of first list 608 with second list 632 to determine which slide from carousel 604 will appear matched with a slide in carousel 624. Although the prior description focuses on the simultaneous display of two images using two carousels, the invention may be generalized to describe n carousels used to display n simultaneous images where n is an integer larger than one.
After the slides have been organized into a final output form, such as a properly ordered carousel of images, the user selects a proper format for the data The form of the data may be as a direct presentation from workstation 104 to a monitor. Alternately, the data may be reformatted for export to other display or printing systems. For example, one method of output is to export the data to a third party software application such as Power Point from Microsoft Corp. of Redmond Wash. Prior to the exportation of data, workstation 104 formats the images into a file that matches a predefined format for input into the third party software application.
While certain exemplary embodiments of the invention have been described in detail above, it should be recognized that other forms, alternatives, modifications, versions and variations of the invention are equally operative and would be apparent to those skilled in the art. For example, slide layout, protocols for transferring information, and types of images displayed may be easily altered. Accordingly, the present invention should not be limited by the embodiments used to exemplify it, but rather should be considered to be within the spirit and scope of the following claims, and equivalents thereto, including all such alternatives, modifications and variations.

Great location we stayed here with three young children and loved it. Just blocks from the fabulous center city market and easy transportation to almost anywhere in Budapest.
We stayed in this apartment for 3 nights and enjoyed every minute. It's in a great location, right accross the bridge from Buda and a block away from the Central Market. Also, there are restaraunts right around the corner.
The apartment was very clean and had several ammenities. And, although it's in the heart of the city, it was very quiet inside. It was like home away from home! Also, the owner is very accommodating and easy to work with. I would highly recommend this apartment, you will not be disappointed!
Our daughter had been in Budapest for a semester abroad, and we brought the rest of the family to visit her and spend a week in Budapest around Christmas time. We found this listing on the internet and were a bit suspicious about the glowing reviews. But, everything good the others have said here is true, and from beginning to end we could not have had a better experience!
Peter was responsive and very helpful in helping us figure out what arrangement would be best for us. He put us in touch with a company that brought us to and from the airport and were courteous and dealt with the many heavy bags we brought. I highly recommend using this company if you are arriving at the airport.
The apartment is spacious, very clean and comfortable, and could not have been in a better location. We had our choice of restaurants on Raday, walked on Vaci, shopped at a huge incredible market all within a few blocks on our apartment. Everyone in our family agreed that staying in the apartment was so much more fun than being in a hotel.
I don't usually write reviews, but we were so pleased with our stay here that I want to HIGHLY RECOMMEND this apartment to others. We loved Budapest, and attribute much of our wonderful experience to our stay in Peter's apartment.
The location of the apartment is fantastic, great if you want to walk and close to the Metro station for easy transportation. The apartment was lovely, very clean and spacious. It had all the comforts of home and the bottle of water and delicious Hungarian wine left for us were a welcoming touch. We highly recommend this apartment and Peter who made it so easy to rent and was available when we needed some help. Budapest is a beautiful with lots to do and see, the people were very friendly and helpful.
Two couples on a long weekend city break.
Lovely clean apartment in a good location - tram and metro stops very close by, but if you like walking, all the major sites can be reached on foot - though you'll probably use public transport for the return journey. Very well equipped if you want to do your own cooking - we just used the corkscrew and wine glasses! Owners are easy to deal with and very friendly.
The market, which is practically next door, provided us with fresh pastries for breakfast at amazingly low prices. And it's also a good place to pick up unusual souvenirs or exotic foods - paprika especially.
STAY HERE!!!!!! In the heart of Budapest, a wonderfully elegant and extremely well-appointed apartment with large expansive rooms, crown molding, high ceilings, and beautiful details in the sunny,huge living room, well stocked new kitchen, extremely clean bathrooms (one with with a washer-dryer). Bedrooms were large, cheery, well lit...We loved our stay here -- warmly welcomed by a friendly family member and a great bottle of wine, great music cd collection, information on local travel -- it was a so much of heaven! We almost hated to leave the apartment to tour the city, it was such a GREAT place! I cannot recommend this place highly enough!
It is very near the Old Market, (about one city block) which is beautiful and fascinating and a must-see - you can get your morning pastries and fresh bread, fruit, etc. It is also near Gellert Baths and other bath houses, the Gellert Hill, the rock cave church, and just about every other great attraction in Budapest.
The owner was extremely accommodating -- we had to change out reservation at the last minute and they were very good and pleasant to work with. This place will give you the best travel memories of Budapest -- it was a remarkable place! The one thing that I can say is that you must be able to climb a couple of flights of stairs in order to stay here -- there is no elevator. I traveled with my 86 y/o father, who was in very good condition and he had no trouble...
The house is located in the centre of Budapest, at the end of Vaci utca (main shopping street), 100 m from the Danube-river, close to Europes most beautifull market hall and the Gellert Hotel (Liberty Bridge). Its central location makes it possible to reach the entire inner city by foot. All public transport is just a few steps away. Parking can be found three minutes away at the Korona Hotel.

How can you tell if your guinea pig is
There are a few ways of telling, especially from the sounds they make, If you hear it making a sound sort of like purring this means it is enjoying itself maybe because you are petting it or while grooming itslef. If it whistles this can also mean it is excited. Wikipedia has sampled the sounds the guinea pigs made and has the meaning of each one, here is a link:
If it purrs or lowers its head it means it is having a good time and its happy!
Welcome mate hope it helped!

I was however able to see the 3D view on Trimble. From this view I can tell you that you may have a problem with thin walls. What are the basic dimensions of this item? Also, you'll want to make sure you have proper clearance on that hinge if you want to 3D print it in situ. If you don't have proper clearance it will be welded together. Take a look at these design rules for Shapeways' stainless steel. As for lineoil I can't find any information about it other than it is an oil known about in Europe. That's ok though because I know what process you are talking about. Yeah, as Bill stated it's going to wear off eventually, but only from the high spots so that may look good depending on the starting color of the stainless steel / bronze. The steel/bronze may be hard to bend over the edges of the stones so you may need to use epoxy or if you're going to use star sapphire as stated in the Trimble Warehouse description you can probably solder the stones in place being that star sapphire can withstand extremely high temperatures. The blackened base with blue star sapphire will look great! The English translation for what you're making is called a locket. ]]> UniverseBecoming 2013-04-07T13:46:56-00:00 Re: Possible to... with Stainless Steel http://www.shapeways.com/forum/index.php?t=rview&goto=65676&th=13697#msg_65676 I´d like the item to be massive. It´s dimensions are: height 9cm (if closed), width 9cm, deepth round about 2,5cm... For inserting the cabochon gemstones: I´ll ask the jeweler who made the wedding rings of my best girl... (stainless-steel-rings) I only have to figure out, how to close the fotoframe-part at the top... maybe magnetic?

Non-Cat stove with a very large firebox (3.1 Cu. Ft.)yet a light stove @ 350Lbs. Front to back loading of 20" logs. Can burn overnight with no problem and the front glass stays very clean. Nice
looking stove. Blower comes with the unit. I purchased this stove 01/05/2004 after researching dozens of large stoves. The heat output is awsome.
When opening the door, a little smoke comes into the room. I will be installing a fresh air intake kit from the factory to see if it solves this problem.
The ash pan has a 1" gap under the stove which allows dust into room when scraping ashes into it. I just shovel the ashes into a ash bin the old fashioned way.
Very good stove when you consider this stove cost half the price of the other stoves with simular size fire boxes.I liked the stove so much I purchased another model (Aspen)It has a different look but, the same specifications and fire box (3.1 Cu. Ft.). I wish manufactures would put shaker grates into the stoves like Coal stoves, this makes ash removal very easy. This is possible @ a little extra cost.
I would recommend this stove to anyone.

MAJOR UPDATE: THE DO NOT USE WARNING HAS BEEN EXTENDED TO ADDITIONAL COUNTIES: The warning now applies to all WV American Water customers in Kanawha, Boone, Putnam, Lincoln, Logan, Clay, Roane and Jackson counties.
From the Charleston Daily Mail:
CHARLESTON, W.Va. -- West Virginia American Water customers in a five-county area are being advised not to drink, cook with, bathe in or boil their water after the company's water supply was contaminated by a chemical leak early Thursday.An initial statement from Freedom Industries apparently claimed no health risk to the public, though 4-Methylcyclohexane Methanol is a known skin and respiratory irritant.
The warning applied to Kanawha, Putnam, Boone, Jackson and Lincoln counties.
Gov. Earl Ray Tomblin swiftly called a state of emergency.
Water customers were receiving automated calls with the warning.
The only safe use for the company's water is to flush down a toilet or put out a fire, Lawrence Messina, spokesman for the state Department of Military Affairs and Public Safety announced on Twitter Thursday evening.
The water situation arose following a chemical leak Thursday morning at Freedom Industries.
A strong licorice smell that settled over the Kanawha Valley on Thursday morning was determined to be a product from the company's headquarters, located on Barlow Drive just outside of Charleston, said C.W. Sigman, Kanawha County Deputy Emergency Manager.
...The leaked product is 4-Methylcyclohexane Methanol, which is used in the froth flotation process of coal washing and preparation.
More to come...
Disclaimer: I am a fundraising consultant for Meshea Poore's congressional campaign in WV-02
3:38 PM PT: Per Del. Poore, WV American Water is advising that customers not use their water for at least the next 24 hours.
3:47 PM PT:Very important reminder from Meshea:
Here's the official statement from West Virginia American Water:
On January 9, a chemical spill occurred along the Elk River, causing contamination of the Kanawha Valley water system. The entire Kanawha Valley water system is affected, including Kanawha, Boone and parts of Putnam counties.
What should I do?
Due to the nature of the contamination, it is not safe to use the water for any purpose. Alternative sources of water should be used for all purposes.
Bottled water or water from another, safe source should be used for drinking, making ice, brushing teeth, washing dishes, bathing, food and baby formula preparation and all other purposes until further notice. The current acceptable uses of tap water are toilet flushing and firefighting.
The need for this order is due to a chemical spill of 4-Methylcyclohexane Methanol along the Elk River in Charleston.
What is being done?
Water quality specialists continue to monitor both raw and finished water and crews will conduct flushing throughout the distribution system.
Will be West Virginia American Water will inform you when it is determined that the water is once again safe to use.
For more information, please contact Customer Service at 1-800-685-8660.
General guidelines on ways to lessen the health risk are available from the EPA Safe Drinking Water Hotline at 1-800-426-4791.
Please share this information with all the other people who drink this water, especially those who may not have received this notice directly (for example, people in apartments, nursing homes, schools, and businesses). You can do this by posting this notice in a public place or distributing copies by hand or mail.
This notice is being sent by West Virginia American Water.
3:59 PM PT: From WSAZ in Charleston:
Boiling water will not get rid of the chemical.
This is believed to impact 100,000 customers.
The Kanawha Charleston Health Department, which covers Kanawha and Putnam counties tells WSAZ.com all permit holders in both counties, including daycares, universities, restaurants, and schools need to shut down.
...FEMA has been contacted to bring clean water into the area.
4:14 PM PT: While not included in the list of affected counties, Clay County WV is closing all schools tomorrow because of concerns about the water supply.
No official word from the affected counties, though one Kanawha County elementary school was already scheduled to be closed tomorrow because of a gas leak.
4:42 PM PT: Some photos from area grocery stores making the rounds on Twitter:
4:48 PM PT: Looks like some high school basketball games are proceeding tonight despite the water crisis, while others are being cancelled. @WVprephoops reports that the Winfield vs. Riverside varsity game is cancelled, but Capital vs. South Charleston still seems to be on.
Meanwhile, @WVpress, the West Virginia Press Association's twitter page, is saying that just about all the water and bagged ice from regional grocery stores are gone (see the photos in the update above for some flavor of the situation).
5:35 PM PT: Per WSAZ, a few other utilities are now affected:
The state of emergency includes West Virginia American Water customers in Kanawha, Boone, Putnam, Lincoln, Logan, Clay, Roane and Jackson counties. Culloden in Cabell County is also under the advisory. No other Cabell County customers are effected.
West Virginia American Water says customers on Queen Shoals PSD, Lincoln PSD, and Reamer Hill are also impacted by the advisory.
5:59 PM PT: More from WSAZ:
Putnam PSD is asking customers to consider filling bottle or 2 for friends & family living in the area covered by Do Not Use warning.
The West Hamlin Volunteer Fire Department has water available for WVAW customers in Lincoln County.
6:02 PM PT: More from Del. Poore's Facebook page:
She also reports that "a water station has been set up at St. Mark's Episcopal Church in St. Albans - at 405 B Street & will be open until 10 p.m. "
6:12 PM PT: Forwarding a request from law enforcement:
6:23 PM PT: Del. Poore is going to be on 98.7 FM in about ten minutes to talk about ways to cope without water for the next day. Please tune in if you're in the listening area.
6:56 PM PT: Full list of school closings here: http://www.wvgazette.com/...
Some school systems are specifically shuttering all extracurricular activities, while some seem to be carrying on. Check with your local district for details if you're in one of the affected counties.
7:22 PM PT: Here's the State of Emergency declaration from Gov. Tomblin's site:
Governor Tomblin Declares State of Emergency In 9 Counties
Water to be available through the county offices of emergency services
CHARLESTON, W.Va. – Gov. Earl Ray Tomblin this evening issued a State of Emergency for Boone, Cabell, Clay, Jackson, Kanawha, Lincoln, Logan, Putnam, and Roane counties. This declaration follows a notice from West Virginia American Water Company that its water supply had become contaminated. Residents served by Lincoln PSD, Queen Shoals PSD, Reamer PSD, City of Culloden PSD, and City of Hurricane PSD are also affected.
"West Virginians in the affected service areas are urged NOT to use tap water for drinking, cooking, washing or bathing," Gov. Tomblin said. "Right now, our priorities are our hospitals, nursing homes, and schools. I've been working with our National Guard and Office of Emergency Services in an effort to provide water and supplies through the county emergency services offices as quickly as possible."
7:28 PM PT: Some good news, at least for a few of the folks going without water tonight:
7:50 PM PT: WOWKTV.com has posted a list of water filling stations, and seems to be regularly updating. If you're in the area, this looks like the source to watch for where to find H2O. Some are closing earlier tonight, so if you need water, don't wait to check it out. The current list:
Bartlett-Chapman Funeral Home
409 6th Avenue St. Albans, WV
Call for emergencies only tonight - Open tomorrow at 7 a.m.

More good news, per State Delegate Meshea Poore (D-Kanawha):
8:08 PM PT: Price gougers, beware: the WV AG's office is on the lookout for anyone raising prices by more than 10%.

Do I still love my ex-girlfriend after breaking up with her?
Hi there.. I've just cried my eyes out of thinking about my ex-girlfriend being single - she's out there, can be flirted with, could have sex with... Show More
Most Helpful Opinion
Don't get back together with her. Take it from a guy that dated a girl for 3 years and his girlfriend broke up with him for no reason, it's time to move on. There is no such thing as the "One true love", it's something that develops, and as you get over this break up you will start dating other girls and maybe even fall in love with one of them more than you were in love with this girl.
I know this is hard to believe because you just lost a part of yourself and your best friend, but trust me when I say that your heart will heal and you will learn from this relationship and move on. I'm not saying that everyday will be great and you'll never think or feel anything towards her, you always will have those memories no matter how much you try and forget, but allow those memories and actions of that relationship to make you into a better man. I still feel the heartache sometimes because I think that I could have done better, and what you said, just thinking about her with another guy hurts so much, but I know it's cliche to say, if you love someone let them go, don't forget about them but let them be free and don't hold onto her. Once you forgive yourself and you forgive her, you will be free just as much as she is.
And above all if it's meant to be then you two will meet again and fall in love again.
Hope this helped
and Good luck!
Thanks man, that's what I needed.. :)
What Girls Said 7
How many poems, how many songs have been written about the sadness of losing your love?
It seems you didn't so much lose her as discard her. Now you're sorry, but I doubt you'll get her back. This is cold comfort, but if she loved you and you broke up with her, how do you expect her to feel?
I agree with maiez if you couldn't live majority of your days with her in your life I don't think it is meant to e.. If you are going to be with someone and commit to be with each other for life you should not have to spend less time together.. I think a lot of people go through this phase of a break up especially if you really care for or love someone, where they feel like they can't live without the person and obsesses about that persons future.. I think it's because of the thought of failing .. When I broke up a long term relationship I felt like a failure like I couldn't succeed in this relationship that I invested so much time emotional physical and mental features of myself..
We don't know if you love her or not. only you can say if you do or dont
That's the worst advice I've ever gotten. Reported for spam.
We don't know you nor do we know who you are. Its stupid to ask us if we know if you love her or not. ONLY you know! how are we supposed to know your relationship? Go on and report. It has been done back :)

The new technology enables the production of MEG from a variety of raw materials, including coal, natural gas, or biomass, Eastman said in a statement.
The technology is based on new, proprietary catalysts and process design developed by Eastman and Johnson Matthey Davy.
"Extensive pilot plant demonstration of the new process is nearing completion and dialogue is underway for the first demonstration," Eastman added.
"This world-class technology is well positioned to enable global growth for ethylene glycol, a key industrial product," said Gregory Nelson, Eastman's senior vice president and chief technology officer.
"The combined expertise of Eastman and Johnson Matthey Davy in synthesis gas chemistry enabled our best process and catalyst scientists to create a superior technology and bring it to market for licensing," Nelson said.

Way back in September of 2007, I posted some links to the bizarre world of ferrofluid, illustrating how fluids can interact with magnets (often magnets driven by sound -- like speakers) to create strange, seemingly gravity-defying patterns. Today I bring you a TED Talk about Cymatics, which is the process of making sound visible, sometimes using special fluids -- ferrofluids among them. (Cymatics often also uses other physical media like sand to make visible patterns.)

Nerd parent alert: new TMBG album of science stuff for kids available now! (iTunes Link)
Indie pop icons They Might Be Giants have long been known for embedding factoids in their songs. For example, their cover of "Why Does the Sun Shine" features the opening hook: "The sun is a mass of incandescent gas; A gigantic nuclear furnace; Where hydrogen is built into helium at a temperature of millions of degrees!" (To be fair, TMBG didn't write that tune; see the original version by Tom Glazer.) But then... READ ON
Ever wondered how a differential gear on a car works? Well, if you're like me, your first question is just what the heck is a differential? Wikipedia says (emphasis added):
A vehicle's wheels rotate at different speeds, mainly when turning corners. The differential is designed to drive a pair of wheels with equal force, whilst allowing them to rotate at different speeds. In vehicles without a differential, such as karts, both driving wheels are forced to rotate at the same speed, usually on a common... READ ON
Here's a provocative little clip of physicist Richard Feynman talking about uncertainty. What an odd topic, right? Effectively Feynman obliquely addresses issues of religion versus science here, and seems to paint himself as the quintessential scientist -- someone to whom uncertainty is simply a normal state of being, and presumably the jumping-off point for most of life's explorations. Below is a complete transcription of the clip (it's under one minute) with some emphasis added, then the clip itself.... READ ON

text: My family is looking into buying a property with a few acres. The person that owned it had already set up a very nice 3 stall barn with attached grazing area, separate arena with lights and everything is safely fenced off with safety latches also. We do not currently own horses and don't know too much about the care of them. We don't want to let the stall and arena areas go to waste. What are the options available to lease/rent the area out to either boarders or trainers? Any input would be fabulous! Thank you

Cricket has elicited lukewarm response from the full ICC members of the continent for the upcoming Incheon Asian Games with India skipping the event altogether and Pakistan electing to send only its women's team.
"For upcoming 2104 Asian Games, Bangladesh and Sri Lanka will be sending both men and women's cricket teams," it has been mentioned on the FaceBook page of the Games. "As for Pakistan, they will be sending women's cricket team only," it adds.
Indian Cricket Board (BCCI) has already decided that it would not send any team (men or women) to the quadrennial pan-Asian sports spectacle that is to be hosted by South Korea for the third time (earlier editions: 1986 in Seoul and 2002 in Busan).
India had not sent any team for the Games in the previous edition four years ago at Guangzhou, China, where cricket made its debut. Bangladesh men and Pakistan women won the gold medals in the 16th Asian Games. Cricket will be run from September 20 to October 3 in the 17th Games in Incheon whose organisers were persuaded to keep it in the schedule by the Olympic Council of Asia.
BCCI Secretary Sanjay Patel told PTI that the mens' calendar is so tight that there was no way they could have taken part. "The calendar is very tight. We have the Champions Trophy clashing with the Games and no approval had been taken from the Working Committee for sending teams for the Asian Games," he said.
The following teams have entered the tournament, according to Asian Cricket Council. Women's teams: South Korea, Bangladesh, China, Hong Kong, Japan, Malaysia, Nepal, Pakistan, Sri Lanka, Thailand Men's teams: South Korea, Afghanistan, Bangladesh, China, Hong Kong, Kuwait, Malaysia, Maldives, Nepal, Sri Lanka.

From the article: Is it safe for owners to vaccinate their own cats?
While I would hesitate to try to vaccinate my own cats at home, for a number of reasons shared in the accompanying article, some of my readers do it, with varying results. I'm interested in learning more about your experiences, both good and bad. If you have decided not to vaccinate your own cat, I'd like to know more about that decision also.
Note: This form is not for asking questions or replying to another user or to me. Think of it as your own mini-article on the About.com Cat site.
I do my own Vacs
- I grew up with my mom breeding and rescuing dogs, so I learned to vaccinate early on. All of our cats are rescues, I vaccinate my cats and dogs (except rabies)because I have found it's easier, more cost effective and less stressful on the animals. Honestly I am comfortable doing it, but only because I have been doing it for at least 20 years ( I am 31), I wouldn't recommend doing it unless you know what your doing and are fully comfortable with it. My pets still get yearly checks with our vet, but it's a happy visit with no needle sticks unless it's rabies time(every 3 years). I have never had a problem with it, and when you are doing the first round of shots, not just the yearly, it can get really costly, and for some pet owners that may be why they don't vaccinate in the first place. Our cats are also strickly indoor only (we do have one who goes out on a leash, she is the only one who wants to) and our dogs are indoor as well, except for potty and playtime.
- —Guest Kendratl
Owner vaccinating pets
- I have 11 cats and if I did not give the vaccines myself I would not be able to afford the expense of taking each of them into a vet to be vaccinated. The first time I did give the shot to my cats I was surprised how tough the cat's skin was compared to human skin and it required a stronger push to get thru the skin. I am use to giving shots to myself because I am diabetic and it was logical step for me to start giving shots to my cats. I do use a combo vaccine so it is one shot. I do know there is always a chance of a bad reaction and I could lose my pet but I think it is better I give the shots then the cats not getting them at all.
- —Guest imbennett
vaccinating cats
- I have 31 cats currently. I take all cats to the vet to get their shots the first year and for spay/neuter. After that we don't vaccinate. Our cats never go outside and no new cats come in until they are tested and get their shots. I lost my best cat over a year ago to vaccination sarcoma. The vet sent the lump off to the lab for testing and they said it was the result of his vaccination shot. While this is not common, this broke my heart. I had raised this kitten from day one with a baby bottle after his mother rejected him. When we do get a new cat (and that happens more than you think), we always let the vet do the vaccination and the exam.
- —cybeeb
Foster mom vaccinates cats
- When possible I bring my foster cats to the vet to be vaccinated because a vet can check their general health. Sometimes it's easier on the cat or kittens to be vaccinated at home.
- —Guest katrina
- Something else to consider is that a lot of communities especially in larger cities have free clinics for the purpose of vaccinations. These are a lot cheaper then going to a private Vet. They are also a good alternative.
- —Guest Thomas
Vaccinations are straightforward!
- When I was at university I couldn't afford an expensive vet bill. The Vetinarian explained what to do and sold me the vaccines for my two cats. I did them both twice as directed and I can tell you it is a doddle! Do not be afraid and the Vets will be keen to put you off, since at £30 a shot it's a lucrative business indeed. Remember your pets keep them in business, of course there can be adverse reactions. But if you stick to the simple protocols, Right drug, right dose, right method, right patient! You can't go wrong! Now get on with it and save the Vets for those bigger operations. Now that's one thing you won't be doing at home :-) And the Vet who won't accept your vaccinations is among the worst, business first types and you should avoid them completely. Many local surgeries are excellent and manned by understanding vets who will recognise your care for your animal.
- —Guest Phillip
- No vaccines, they kill and contain filth-do your own research!
- —Guest suregood
Patricia Purr
- I just got a new kitten. Her mother was a feral. Her brothers and her have all been adopted. I met the 2 people who I adopted her from a feral cat community, which I help care for. Most of the cats there have be neutered and up to date on shots. The one girl who cares for cats there gave my, now 3 month old kitten, deworming, 2 tests and 2 distemper shots and a rabies shot. Now I am having trouble getting a Vet to spay my cat because most vets don't accept a non Vet giving shots, especially rabies shots. I have all the stickers and the girl who did these shots did once work for a Vet. I do not want to get my cat more shots than she needs such as another Rabies shot, which would not be due for another year. But these Vets are requiring that, she get another before they will spay her. I wish I knew at the time, these shots would not be acceptable. I don't know what to do. It seems I might have to wait a whole year to get her spayed when she can get another Rabies shot.
- —Guest Patricia Purr
vacinate own cat
- I have vaccinated my own cat. I think it went well. I purchased the vaccine from a registered vet. I purchased the required needle. It appears it all went well. There does not seem to be any problems. I thoroughly investigated it before doing it.
- —Guest Cyndi
me? vaccinate?
- I am literally standing with vaccine one hand and cat in other. After reading this article I question the research I have done has been informative enough. As I couldn't answer any of the questions the Dr. asked, so for now i am putting away the vaccine and asking help from a vet tech. Franny's Note: The questions in the article were posed by me, not by a veterinarian. However, you have probably made the right decision by seeking professional help.
- —Guest crazycatlady
At Home Vaccinatios
- My fiance and I are considering at home vaccinations for our two cats. He is a scientist who works with animals, so I trust his ability in administering the shot adequately. My only concern is that we are now in the process of adopting a dog, and I am afraid that the humane society may reject an application from us for vaccinating our cats in home. I will continue to take the cats in for yearly check ups. We will not vaccinate our dog at home, but rather take him into the vet. I do believe that as a society we have become a little overboard with vaccinations in general.
- —Guest aljomoe
Must Trust the Source of the Vaccines
- I have been vaccinating my cats and dogs for many years now and had never had a problem. I have discovered the number one reason for failure is improper handling. Vaccinations must always stay cold. This can happen at the feed store or the vets office. When you buy your vaccinations you have to ask if you trust the people that is selling you the vaccines. Do they leave the pallet on the dock to get warm or did they store them right away? I have never had a problem with vaccine failure. I buy the same brand as the vet and keep just as many records like date of vaccination, the sticker from the bottle that has the expiration date and lot number and name of vaccine. I also take the stickers to the vet on a 3x5 card that is a permanent part of their records. The only one I do not do is the Rabies because here a licensed vet must do it. All my animals still get yearly checkups 6 months for my 3 senior cats all 13 years old. Vaccinating at home is a lot less stressful for my animals.
- —vinoyola
Home vaccination
- I have always done my own vaccinations. I grew up with having dogs & always helped my dad do the vaccinations, shots & all. The cat vaccines cost less than $5 at the farm supply store. The only thing that I don't do myself is rabies. I cannot buy them at the farm supply store so I go to the shot clinic and get it for less than $10.
- —Guest Kristina
Yes and No
- I had a cat for 12 years, he was a rescue cat, i never had him vacinated and he never got ill apart from accidents.. I now have another two cats one is a kitten and i am having them vaccinated, mainly for insurance purposes and also because the kitten had cat flu when we got him and he was so ill that i thought he was going to die..Therefore having seen the effects of cat flu i would say yes i would opt for this now as the cost of the vets bill when he was ill was far greater than the vacination..
- —HLCBennett
Yes we vaccinate at home
- We do vaccinate our 2 cats since they were kittens with no problem...BUT, we have also have a wonderful vet who sees them on a yearly basis. If we did not have a vet, we would not vaccinate on our own. Having a licensed vet in your pets lives from day one is a must and essential. No cutting corners there.

MEL STEWART Jr., aka Gold Medal Mel, won three Olympic medals at the 1992 Olympic Games. Mel's best event was the 200 butterfly. He is a former World, American, and NCAA Record holder in the 200 butterfly.
As a writer/producer and sports columnist, Mel has contributed to Yahoo Sports, Universal Sports, and USA Swimming. Mel has also worked as an Olympic analyst for ABC, NBC, EPSN, FOX SPORTS and TBS.
Mel Stewart is a co-founder of SwimSwam.com where he manages all advertising partnerships.
At SwimSwam.com, Mel hosts Gold Medal Minute presented by SwimOutlet.com, a video series featuring the world's fastest swimmers and Olympic medalists. See all Gold Medal Minute espisodes here.
As a child Mel was known as Little Melvin.
Mel lived in Gastonia, North Carolina, unitl the age of 7. His father, Big Melvin, and mother, Myra Stewart, moved the family 40 miles east to Charlotte, North Carolina after getting jobs working for Jim and Tammy Faye Bakker, founders of the PTL Club, a Christian ministry and television talk show. Mel's mother coached his sister, Kim Stewart, and he in a swimming pool directly under Jim Bakker's television studio. Mel attributes his resistant to butterfly pain to his mother's daily workouts which included 50 consecutive laps of the stroke.
By the age of nine, Mel's parents put him under the tutelage of coach Frankie Bell at the Johnston Memorial YMCA.
Showing early promise in swimming, 16 top-10 national rankings in the 9-10 age group, Mel's father began calling him Little Gold Medal Melvin after the 1968 Track and Field Olympic gold medalist Melvin Pender.
Frankie Bell developed Mel's butterfly encouraging the side-breathing technique before Mel's first 200 yard butterfly at the YMCA Nationals when he was 13. By the age of 15 Mel was the YMCA National Champion in the event.
By 1985 Jim Bakker's PTL Television Network had fallen under harsh scrutiny by the media.
