The present application relates to a user interface for a messaging application and more particularly for method and apparatus for Instant Messaging (IM) conversation management.
Communication devices such as personal computers, wireless mobile telephones, personal data assistants, etc. often provide data communication abilities to users. One currently popular form of such communication is Instant Messaging (IM) facilitated by an application having a graphical user interface (GUI) whereby two or more users of different communication devices can engage in a conversational data communication exchange.
In fact, many applications permit a user of a particular communication device to simultaneously conduct more than one conversation with different uses or groups of users of other communication devices. A set of active conversations may grow quite large as new conversations are started without closing out existing conversations.
Conversations are often displayed to the user in a list for navigating and selecting a particular conversation to engage in communication. A large list of conversations, particularly on a communication device having a relatively small display, limits the effectiveness of the GUI because it can take longer for the user to locate a desired conversation. Further, a long list limits the ability of the GUI to apply the list to various interface features such as a menu for quick access etc. Many conversations may be become old and no longer relevant.
A solution to one or more of these needs is therefore desired.
In order that the subject matter may be readily understood, embodiments are illustrated by way of examples in the accompanying drawings, in which:
Persons of ordinary skill in the art will appreciate that teachings herein are applicable to messages received via wired or wireless communication and though a wireless communication device and network including wireless communication capabilities are discussed in the examples, no limitations should be imposed.
There is provided an IM application with conversation management whereby a conversation is removed from a user's set of current conversations if the conversation is idle for a defined amount of time and, preferably but not necessarily, has no unread messages. Conversations removed may be moved to an archive of old conversations which archive may be reviewed.
Conversations may be removed from the archive automatically, for example, once the size of the archive exceeds a defined limit (or the device is in low memory). Preferably but not necessarily, the oldest conversation is deleted first.
Archived conversations may be accessible in one or more ways. A conversation may be available for review from a full list, or viewed by selecting the participant in the contact list and opening a conversation history.
In accordance with a further preference, if the user wants to save text from a conversation the archive could be adapted to provide the ability for the user to save a conversation indefinitely.
Typically, controller 106 is embodied as a central processing unit (CPU) which runs operating system software in a memory component (not shown). Controller 106 will normally control overall operation of mobile station 102, whereas signal processing operations associated with communication functions are typically performed in RF transceiver circuitry 108. Controller 106 interfaces with device display 112 to display received information, stored information, user inputs, and the like. Keyboard 114, which may be a telephone type keypad or full alphanumeric keyboard, is normally provided for entering data for storage in mobile station 102, information for transmission to network 104, a telephone number to place a telephone call, commands to be executed on mobile station 102, and possibly other or different user inputs.
Mobile station 102 sends communication signals to and receives communication signals from network 104 over a wireless link via antenna 110. RF transceiver circuitry 108 performs functions similar to those of a radio network (RN) 128, including for example modulation/demodulation and possibly encoding/decoding and encryption/decryption. It is also contemplated that RF transceiver circuitry 108 may perform certain functions in addition to those performed by RN 128. It will be apparent to those skilled in art that RF transceiver circuitry 108 will be adapted to particular wireless network or networks in which mobile station 102 is intended to operate.
Mobile station 102 includes a battery interface 122 for receiving one or more rechargeable batteries 124. Battery 124 provides electrical power to electrical circuitry in mobile station 102, and battery interface 122 provides for a mechanical and electrical connection for battery 124. Battery interface 122 is coupled to a regulator 126 which regulates power to the device. When mobile station 102 is fully operational, an RF transmitter of RF transceiver circuitry 108 is typically turned on only when it is sending to network, and is otherwise turned off to conserve resources. Similarly, an RF receiver of RF transceiver circuitry 108 is typically periodically turned off to conserve power until it is needed to receive signals or information (if at all) during designated time periods.
Mobile station 102 operates using a memory module 120, such as a Subscriber Identity Module (SIM) or a Removable User Identity Module (R-UIM), which is connected to or inserted in mobile station 102 at an interface 118. As an alternative to a SIM or an R-UIM, mobile station 102 may operate based on configuration data programmed by a service provider into an internal memory which is a non-volatile memory. Mobile station 102 may consist of a single unit, such as a data communication device, a cellular telephone, a multiple-function communication device with data and voice communication capabilities, a personal digital assistant (PDA) enabled for wireless communication, or a computer incorporating an internal modem. Alternatively, mobile station 102 may be a multiple-module unit comprising a plurality of separate components, including but in no way limited to a computer or other device connected to a wireless modem. In particular, for example, in the mobile station block diagram of
Mobile station 102 communicates in and through wireless communication network 104. In the embodiment of
During operation, mobile station 102 communicates with RN 128 which performs functions such as call-setup, call processing, and mobility management. RN 128 includes a plurality of base station transceiver systems that provide wireless network coverage for a particular coverage area commonly referred to as a "cell". A given base station transceiver system of RN 128, such as the one shown in
The wireless link shown in communication system 100 of
For all mobile stations 102 registered with a network operator, permanent data (such as mobile station 102 user's profile) as well as temporary data (such as mobile station's 102 current location) are stored in a HLR/AC 138. In case of a voice call to mobile station 102, HLR/AC 138 is queried to determine the current location of mobile station 102. A Visitor Location Register (VLR) of MSC 130 is responsible for a group of location areas and stores the data of those mobile stations that are currently in its area of responsibility. This includes parts of the permanent mobile station data that have been transmitted from HLR/AC 138 to the VLR for faster access. However, the VLR of MSC 130 may also assign and store local data, such as temporary identifications. Mobile station 102 is also authenticated on system access by HLR/AC 138. In order to provide packet data services to mobile station 102 in a CDMA2000-based network, RN 128 communicates with PDSN 132. PDSN 132 provides access to the Internet 144 (or intranets, Wireless Application Protocol (WAP) servers, etc.) through IP network 134. PDSN 132 also provides foreign agent (FA) functionality in mobile IP networks as well as packet transport for virtual private networking. PDSN 132 has a range of IP addresses and performs IP address management, session maintenance, and optional caching. RADIUS server 136 is responsible for performing functions related to authentication, authorization, and accounting (AAA) of packet data services, and may be referred to as an AAA server.
Wireless communication network 104 also includes a Push-to-talk over Cellular (PoC) server 137 which may be coupled to IP network 134. PoC server 137 operates to facilitate PoC individual and group communication sessions between mobile stations within network 104. A conventional PoC communication session involves a session connection between end users of mobile stations, referred to as session "participants", who communicate one at a time in a half-duplex manner much like conventional walkie-talkies or two-way radios.
Those skilled in art will appreciate that wireless network 104 may be connected to other systems, possibly including other networks, not explicitly shown in
Mobile station 202 will normally incorporate a communication subsystem 211, which includes a receiver 212, a transmitter 214, and associated components, such as one or more (preferably embedded or internal) antenna elements 216 and 218, local oscillators (LOs) 213, and a processing module such as a digital signal processor (DSP) 220. Communication subsystem 211 is analogous to RF transceiver circuitry 108 and antenna 110 shown in
Mobile station 202 may send and receive communication signals over the network after required network registration or activation procedures have been completed. Signals received by antenna 216 through the network are input to receiver 212, which may perform such common receiver functions as signal amplification, frequency down conversion, filtering, channel selection, and like, and in example shown in
Network access is associated with a subscriber or user of mobile station 202, and therefore mobile station 202 requires a memory module 262, such as a Subscriber Identity Module or "SIM" card or a Removable User Identity Module (R-UIM), to be inserted in or connected to an interface 264 of mobile station 202 in order to operate in the network. Alternatively, memory module 262 may be a non-volatile memory which is programmed with configuration data by a service provider so that mobile station 202 may operate in the network. Since mobile station 202 is a mobile battery-powered device, it also includes a battery interface 254 for receiving one or more rechargeable batteries 256. Such a battery 256 provides electrical power to most if not all electrical circuitry in mobile station 202, and battery interface 254 provides for a mechanical and electrical connection for it. The battery interface 254 is coupled to a regulator (not shown in
Mobile station 202 includes a microprocessor 238 (which is one implementation of controller 106 of
Microprocessor 238, in addition to its operating system functions, preferably enables execution of software applications on mobile station 202. A predetermined set of applications which control basic device operations, including at least data and voice communication applications, will normally be installed on mobile station 202 during its manufacture. A preferred application that may be loaded onto mobile station 202 may be a personal information manager (PIM) application having the ability to organize and manage data items relating to user such as, but not limited to, e-mail, calendar events, voice mails, appointments, and task items. Naturally, one or more memory stores are available on mobile station 202 and SIM 262 to facilitate storage of PIM data items and other information.
The PIM application preferably has the ability to send and receive data items via the wireless network. In a preferred embodiment, PIM data items are seamlessly integrated, synchronized, and updated via the wireless network, with the mobile station user's corresponding data items stored and/or associated with a host computer system thereby creating a mirrored host computer on mobile station 202 with respect to such items. This is especially advantageous where the host computer system is the mobile station user's office computer system. Additional applications may also be loaded onto mobile station 202 through network, an auxiliary I/O subsystem 228, serial port 230, short-range communications subsystem 240, or any other suitable subsystem 242, and installed by a user in RAM 226 or preferably a non-volatile store (not shown) for execution by microprocessor 238. Such flexibility in application installation increases the functionality of mobile station 202 and may provide enhanced on-device functions, communication-related functions, or both. For example, secure communication applications may enable electronic commerce functions and other such financial transactions to be performed using mobile station 202.
In a data communication mode, a received signal such as a text message, an e-mail message, or web page download will be processed by communication subsystem 211 and input to microprocessor 238. Microprocessor 238 will preferably further process the signal for output to display 222 or alternatively to auxiliary I/O device 228. A user of mobile station 202 may also compose data items, such as e-mail messages, for example, using keyboard 232 in conjunction with display 222 and possibly auxiliary I/O device 228. Keyboard 232 is preferably a complete alphanumeric keyboard and/or telephone-type keypad. These composed items may be transmitted over a communication network through communication subsystem 211.
For voice communications, the overall operation of mobile station 202 is substantially similar, except that the received signals would be output to speaker 234 and signals for transmission would be generated by microphone 236. Alternative voice or audio I/O subsystems, such as a voice message recording subsystem, may also be implemented on mobile station 202. Although voice or audio signal output is preferably accomplished primarily through speaker 234, display 222 may also be used to provide an indication of the identity of a calling party, duration of a voice call, or other voice call related information, as some examples.
Serial port 230 in
Short-range communications subsystem 240 of
Mobile station 202 may be adapted to provide instant messaging (IM) communications via programming instructions and data stored or otherwise available to the device 202. Instant messaging provides a conversational dialog typically involving the exchange of text messages between a user of device 202 and at least one other user of another device (not shown) adapted for IM communication. As persons of ordinary skill in the art will appreciate, an IM system or "presence and instant messaging system" allows users to subscribe to each other and be notified of changes in state (e.g. availability for instant message communication), and for users to send each other short instant messages. IM is discussed in further detail in "RFC 2778—A Model for Presence and Instant Messaging", maintained by the Internet Society and available at http://www.faqs.org/rfcs/rfc2778.html. As such adapted mobile station 202 provides a user agent for IM communication in an IM system.
However, it is often true that when a long list of current conversations exists on a user device, at least some of the conversations are not current. The users have stopped communicating but not actively instructed the IM application to close the conversation. In accordance with a feature of the present embodiment, the IM management component is adapted to archive a particular current conversation if such remains idle (e.g. no message traffic) for a minimum period of time and preferably, but not necessarily, there are no unread messages.
Preferably, all or one or more portions of the archived conversation may be selected for saving by a user (not shown). It is anticipated that such information will often comprise reference-type information like directions to a particular address, a phone number, etc. The saving feature may interface with PIM or other application components of mobile station 202 to facilitate saving to an address book of contacts or as an address attachment, a memopad or other feature of a PIM. Alternatively, the conversation may be saved into a message list typically comprising an integration of incoming and outgoing communications and notifications (e.g. email, voicemail, missed calls etc.) maintained by the PIM.
Alternatively or additionally to the manner of presenting the archive of conversations shown by
IM management component 1002 may be adapted to automatically maintain the archive of conversations 1008 to keep resource consumption to a defined limit or to free resources for other use. IM management may remove (i.e. delete) conversations from the archive when the archive reaches a predefined size (e.g. relative to total space used or number of conversations archived etc.). In accordance with a preference, older archives may be removed first but different strategies may be involved (largest first, least reviewed archives first, least frequented contacts first) including prompting for user choice. Optionally, the size limits for the archive and/or the idle time may be user configurable.
To archive a current conversation, the list of current conversations is examined (typically sequentially) at step 902. At step 904, if a current conversation has an unread message it is preferably not archived so operations return to step 902 for another current conversation. Otherwise a step 906, if the current conversation is not idle for a predetermined time (e.g. the last message time of receipt is not greater than a threshold), operations again return to step 902. If the conversations is idle and does not have an unread message, the conversation is removed from the list of current conversations and preferably moved to the archive 1008. Optionally, (not shown) the conversation may be deleted with or without user confirmation. The current conversation is preferably closed in accordance with IM protocols as may be applicable.
Various storage schemes (e.g. linked lists) and memory allocation schemes for conversations may be employed and moving from a current list to an archive may be done in a variety of ways. The current and archived conversations may share the same physically memory space. A flag or other structure may indicate current vs. archive status for a conversation. Another flag could indicate that conversation is to be kept indefinitely as determined by a user save for example. Moving a conversation to the archive may include determining size limits for the archive and maintaining the archive as discussed, removing one or more other archived conversations to permit the move (not shown). Particular conversations may be linked to specific contacts 1010 via pointers or other known techniques for associating one structure with another.
The above-described embodiments are intended to be examples only. Those of skill in the art may effect alterations, modifications and variations to the particular embodiments without departing from the scope of the application. The subject matter described herein in the recited claims intends to cover and embrace all suitable changes in technology.

text: Former Detroit Tigers Pitcher Mark Fidrych: 1954- 2009 By The Arsenal Labradoodle , Contributor Apr 14, 2009 Share Tweet Next ARTICLE » Use your ← → (arrow) keys to browse more stories 209 Reads 1 Comment ↑ Grab this Headline Animator 1954 - 2009 Mark Fidrych Mark Fidrych was killed in an apparent accident Monday at his farm in Massachusetts. He is the second Detroit Tiger icon to pass this year. You know, 2009 is really turning out to be a poor year. One thing I remember about the summer of 1976—I was eight years old at the time—was Mark "The Bird" Fidrych. He was incredible. At the time I liked him as much for his antics: talking to the ball, talking to the hitters, introducing the hitters to the ball and the ball to the hitters, and then telling the ball what to do when he threw it to the hitters, getting on his hands and knees and grooming the mound with his hands, as I did for his pitching. It has been said when coaches or players would approach him on the mound, they would feel as if they were interrupting a conversation, but they would then realize that they were alone with him on the mound. In 1976 there wasn't anything going on in Detroit and less with the Tigers. The way you could tell if "The Bird" was pitching, was simple: If there were 50,000+ people in the stands, he was pitching. If there were less than 15,000 in the stands, he wasn't. He had stellar stuff for a year and a half. He got injured and essentially his career was over. However, and I could be wrong on this, I do not believe there has ever been or will ever be a player who will play for such a short time and have such a profound impact on the game and for lack of a better term—pop culture. We will continue to miss "The Bird."

On a gentle rise on the Ecke Ranch in Encinitas stands a modest ranch house with ivory siding, multi-paned windows and a dramatic view of the ocean.
The structure was once home to three generations of the Ecke family, credited with making the poinsettia the most popular Christmas plant in the world. At its height of market share, Ecke Ranch collected royalties on 90 percent of the poinsettia cuttings worldwide, according to Paul Ecke III.
For the Eckes, the home created memories of holiday activities, large family dinners, the Christmas tree brought down from the L.A. Flower Market, and the three children — Paul, Liz and Sara — posing on the stairs for a traditional photograph that, in December 1965, was published in Reader's Digest along with an article about the family.
The house ceased to be used as a residence almost 20 years ago, when it began to serve as a venue for Ecke's corporate meetings and seasonal horticultural shows.
Today, the house plays a role in the outreach of the Leichtag Foundation, a nonprofit organization that in December purchased 47 acres of Ecke ranch lands on Saxony Road, along with the ranch house, barns and ancillary buildings.
Last spring, the foundation began a cosmetic renovation of the house, which was designed by Lilian J. Rice in 1935. Her design reflected the simplicity of ranch life and utilized natural materials such as cedar, pine and oak in its construction.
Since it was built, the home has been through several modifications to expand the living space.
With general contractor David Kramer leading Leichtag's renovation, an upper deck was removed and the silhouette of the structure restored to be more reflective of Rice's original design.
"The idea was not to change the character of the house, that was our guideline," said Kramer.
The infrastructure has been updated and areas used more frequently — such as the dining room, living room, and kitchen — have been refurbished. Original materials, such as the oak floors, have been sanded and burnished.
"We also refurbished the front door and cleaned up and replaced hardware," Kramer said. "Nothing has really changed, except for the kitchen, which we upgraded with new cabinet doors, counter tops, appliances and plumbing fixtures — but not a new layout."
Paul Ecke III moved into the ranch house in 1957, when he was 2. There was a playground in the front yard, "complete with a fort, a cannon dating from the 1600s, and an authentic Conestoga wagon, and a dollhouse for my sisters," he recalled.
When the three Ecke children joined 4-H in the mid-1960s, the playground was converted into pig pens.
"It was very close to the house. The prevailing winds were not all that kind, but we got used to it," Ecke joked.
Several 4-H events took place at the ranch during the Eckes' involvement in the club, bringing together members countywide who showcased projects such as environmental stewardship, animal care, nutrition and citizenship.
The ranch was host to 4-H again when Leichtag opened its grounds this month to celebrate California 4-H's centennial year. San Diego County chapters gathered to mark the occasion with an event called Let's Meet 4-H at the Ranch, held shortly after the Leichtag Foundation hosted a community Sukkot at the ranch.

My son was so excited when this costume came and then we opened the box and were both very disappointed. The mask was cracked in TWO places and the Velcro that closes the jumpsuit in the back looks like it will tear off at any minute. I don't think it will make it through two parties and trick or treating.BOTTOM LINE No, I would not recommend this to a friend

The costume was cute and it fit well and ran true to size, however it was made of poor quality. The first time my son put it on, the seam ripped apart at the waist. Needless to say, I paid [$] for this and the quality didn't reflect the price. He wasn't able to wear it for Halloween but will wear…BOTTOM LINE No, I would not recommend this to a friend

Hailed as the creator of war reportage comics, Joe Sacco uses darkly funny short form comics to recount conflicts, including his latest book The Great War, an illustrated panorama of the first day of the Battle of the Somme. Gene Luen Yang, author of the acclaimed graphic novel American Born Chinese, brings clear-eyed storytelling and magical realism to tell parallel stories of two young people caught up on opposite sides of China's violent Boxer Rebellion in his new work, Boxers and Saints. Join these two daring writers for a conversation on how the graphic novel and graphic non fiction —rising from the frontlines of popular culture—can serve our understanding of history.
Joe Sacco's acclaimed books include Palestine, which was serialized as a comic book from 1993 to 1995, the first collection of which won an American Book Award in 1996; Safe Area Gorazde, and Footnotes in Gaza, as well as a best-selling collaboration with Chris Hedges, Days of Destruction, Days of Revolt.
Gene Luen Yang began drawing comic books in the fifth grade. He was an established figure in the indie comics scene when he published his first book with graphic novel publisher First Second, American Born Chinese, which is now in print in over ten languages. Yang won the Printz Award and was a finalist for the National Book Award. His latest book is the graphic novel diptych Boxers & Saints.
Charles Hatfield, Professor of English at California State University, Northridge, teaches on comics, children's literature, media, and cultural studies.

Gene Luen Yang and M.T. Anderson appear at the Brattle Theatre on Thursday November 21st at 6:00 pm!
Press Release:
Harvard Book Store is pleased to welcome GENE LUEN YANG, National Book Award finalist and Printz Prize–winning graphic novelist, and award-winning young adult novelist M.T. ANDERSON for a discussion of Yang's latest graphic novels, Boxers & Saints.
In two volumes, Boxers & Saints tells two parallel stories. The first is of Little Bao, a Chinese peasant boy whose village is abused and plundered by Westerners claiming the role of missionaries. Little Bao, inspired by visions of the Chinese gods, joins a violent uprising against the Western interlopers. Against all odds, their grass-roots rebellion is successful.
But in the second volume, Yang lays out the opposite side of the conflict. A girl whose village has no place for her is taken in by Christian missionaries and finds, for the first time, a home with them. As the Boxer Rebellion gains momentum, she must decide whether to abandon her Christian friends or to commit herself fully to Christianity.

Moscow and the Trans-Siberian highway.
As most people embarking on a trip of this nature would, we spent hours upon hours trawling through the various blogs and posts here on ADV Rider and other on-line forums. There was one thread that really caught my attention which I revisited over and over again. It was this one
by Walter Colbatch about his ride over the infamous BAM road. I was in awe of the achievement of that 3 strong team and envied every day they spent out there in the field.
After contacting them through the forum, Tony P, Colbatch's riding partner for that trip, promptly responded to the long list of questions I put forward to him regarding riding Russia and in particular Siberia. When we realised that Tony is actually based in Moscow we jumped at the opportunity to buy him a beer and here his tales. And what an honour that was.
I can't describe Tony as anything other than a legendary motorcycle adventurer with vast experience riding the notorious roads of Siberia. Sinking a few of the good ones with Tony was a real pleasure and hearing his stories of his experience on the BAM road was sufficient to send the shivers up me. Despite this, we have decided to take on the western part of the BAM after we dip down in to Mongolia. To say I'm nervous at this point would be a huge understatement. For those of you familiar with the region, with Tony's assistance we have planned a route which will take us from the top of lake Baikal over to Tynda before dropping down to join the main highway over to Vladivostock. I have no idea what it is that I have actually agreed to here but we're going for it nevertheless. More of that to follow when we make it that far.
The amount of mosquitoes on the Trans-Siberian highway is unreal, We were eaten alive eaten alive and it was time to camp along the side the highway.
We left Moscow Thursday 17th May, to begin our 6 day journey towards Novosibersk, Russia's 3rd largest city in Western Siberia. After a full day of easy riding we decided to venture off the road and find a suitable spot for our first night camping in the wild, the moment I was slightly in fear of. After an hour spent riding around fields, mud tracks and gravel roads we still didn't feel comfortable pitching up. Not wanting to admit defeat we headed down yet another country road and found a small village 2km from the main road. It was very quiet, almost desolate except an old lady doing some gardening. We stopped, removed our crash helmets and approached the lady with our book to show her a picture of a tent. Without being able to speak any English she just smiled and pointed at a patch of grass in front of her house. As we stood there laughing at the prospect of setting up camp millions of mosquitoes surrounded us, and some of the neighbours wandered out to see what was going on. A group of immigrants from Uzbekistan emerged from the shack opposite and told us to come in and sleep inside to avoid the mosquitoes. This situation felt pretty crazy but we accepted their kind offer and rode our bikes through a narrow gate into the backyard, almost pulling down the fence as we squeezed by with the luggage.
We followed them into the run down farm house, where they invited us into a small kitchen for a cup of tea. It was very quiet, and due to the langauge barrier we often sat in silence, but it never felt awkward, just peaceful. The silence was soon broken by another two residents arriving home, this time it was two loud Russians, a tough looking builder and a very drunk fisherman dressed in full camo. They didn't seem surprised by our presence and were both very welcoming, with the fisherman insisting we got up at 5am for a morning fishing session the following day. Before long we found some common ground knocking back straight vodka and tequila, proper Russian stylee. Dinner was fish in a can, and we brought some Heinz baked beans to the table, which we all shared out of the tin and they seemed to go down a treat. They also gave us some weird potion made with various herbs to stop the police smelling alcohol on your breath the next day.
As the sun was setting they said "let's go" and we all walked down a gravel path to see where they are building a huge house over-looking a beautiful lake. The drunk fisherman seemed like a bit of crazy Nutter, he stuffed a handful of dried fish into my pocket and then stood at the edge of the lake screaming out something in Russian, trying to make us do the same! I thought to myself, if I was camping nearby and saw him I would have been petrified! After watching the sunset and having a look around the building site we ventured back to the farm-house to prepare for bed. We shared the floor space in their large bedroom, where they provided us with an inflatable mattress and an old sofa. It was a hot sweaty night, and due to the mosquitoes we decided to sleep in our motorbike trousers and hoodies. I found it hard to sleep using my dirty motorbike jacket as a pillow, and hearing the mosquitoes doing laps of the room. I also needed the toilet in the middle of the night, but I didn't want to disturb the rest of the room, and the toilet was a hole in the ground at the end of the garden.
The following morning we were grateful not to have had a 5am wake up call by the fisherman, and as we packed up I got covered in dust folding up the inflatable mattress. Despite the incredible hospitality and unique experience we had been given they wouldn't accept any money for our stay, so we just tucked a 500rubs (£10) note under an old tin in the bedroom as we left. We didn't bother putting on all our gear, and decided to it would be easier to ride out of the garden in just a t-shirt and stop down the road to re-group.
Home is on the bike.

A technical note for those that like them. The X-E1 has film emulations based on Fuji films. This one is a slide film that I used often, Velvia. It is known for this high saturation. I did not add any in LR or PS. Learn about output options for this image here.

News Summary: United Tech 4Q profit down, sales up
Wednesday - 1/23/2013, 3:25pm EST
By The Associated Press
(AP) - THE NEWS: United Technologies Corp. fourth-quarter earnings from continuing operations slid 26 percent on charges, but the manufacturing conglomerate posted double-digit revenue growth.
THE NUMBERS: The parent of jet engine maker Pratt & Whitney and Otis elevators posted net income from continuing operations was $945 million, or $1.04 per share, meeting Wall Street expectations. Revenue totaled $16.44 billion for the October-December quarter.
THE OUTLOOK: United Technologies maintained its 2013 profit and revenue outlook, adding that it doesn't expect an impact from the investigation of the Boeing Dreamliner 787. The company's Hamilton Sundstrand unit is a parts supplier for the grounded aircraft.

This really happened. The Lions have been worried about Suh injuring himself while taping the Celebrity Diving reality show, but it was Suh that came to the rescue of one of his castmates. TMZ says that Anderson was practicing his dives Wednesday when he became exhausted and couldn't lift himself out of the pool. After Anderson "nearly sank," Suh and erstwhile Olympic diver Greg Louganis had to physically lift him out — which can't be an easy task, if we do say so ourselves. Louie Anderson needs to chill on the reality shows.

Hoosierdads Music and School of RockRead MoreHoosierdads music is the areas largest provider of private music lessons. We have 10 quality teachers on staff to provide the best in music education while making it fun at the same time!1023 W Edison RdMishawaka, IN US
Wayne's Keyboard StudioRead MoreAt Wayne's Keyboard Studio, the emphasis is on recreational music making as opposed to classical training. During social group classes, new musicians, including kids and adults, learn the songs that they actually want to play by picking up skills such as reading music. Students don't have to worry about bringing their own instruments, as the studio provides keyboards, pianos, and organs to tickle.2437 Miracle Ln.Mishawaka, IN US
Musikgarten South Bend INRead MoreMusikgarten classes elevate kinesthetic, logical, spatial, and social intelligences through musical instruction to children ages 3 months to 10 years. Each course responds to the developmental needs of a particular age group, with activities and acquired skills becoming more complex as classes ascend in age group. Family Music for Babies (ages 3?16 months) engages an adult and infant with 30?35 minutes of bouncing songs, dancing, and playing simple instruments. Curiosity curdles in amateur earthling brains and a foundation for future musical exploration is set during the Cycle of Seasons course, where children 3-1/2 to 5 years of age flirt with the foundations of rhythm and tune, coddle concentration skills, and garner the ability to self-express through sound waves. The Young Musician and Piano class, for ages 4-1/2?6 and 7?10 respectively, focus on symbolic thinking, memory, and listening acuity, and run for 55?60 minutes or until the first prodigious rock opera has been composed.2803 Decio Dr.Elkhart, Indiana US
Roxy Music ShopRead MoreWe are a deep-discount music company carrying, servicing and repairing a full line of musical instruments on our premises. We sell these instruments through our store in LaPorte, Indiana, our Ebay Store, and our online music store . We also offer music lessons and carry instrument parts.1012 LincolnwayLa Porte, IN US
The Michigan Irish Music SchoolRead MoreThere's a simple reason why students never encounter sheet music at The Michigan Irish Music School: to owner and instructor Tim Huston, sheet music is boring. It's also rigid, he says, forcing musicians to follow an absent composer's notes and annotations rather than the rhythms and cadences of their fellow musicians strumming and drumming alongside them. Instead, Tim and the school's other instructors break down reels and jigs piece by piece, teaching students musical themes and patterns that pop up in the most celebrated of Irish folk tunes and international whale calls. In doing so, students devote their energies to the primitive fun and excitement of music making. The diversity of instruments in a single class also adds to the social experience, with students coaxing sounds from fiddles, flutes, tin whistles, accordions, and mandolins. At the end of the year, they showcase their talents in a recital in front of friends and family, adding the energy of the audience for what the Irish might call a true session.5534 W Michigan Ave.Kalamazoo, MI US
Ft Wayne Guitar DojoRead MoreWith 30 years of playing experience, guitar sensei Mark Schimmoller has perfected a multitude of styles from rockabilly to indie to Crane Style. After years spent performing around Chicago and touring with the band The Hush, Mark settled down in Fort Wayne—where he now shares his expertise with students of all skill levels during private lessons and maintains his chops with his '80s alternative band Weird Science. Lessons incorporate various forms of media to help students absorb knowledge more easily than a sentient ShamWow. Mark also keeps precious instruments in top condition by offering guitar setup services and minor repairs.124 W. Wayne St. Suite 211Fort Wayne, IN US

Sorrell claims Grey acquisition is no big deal for WPP
By Jules Grant,, brandrepublic.com, Friday, 20 August 2004 02:30PM
LONDON – WPP's chief executive Sir Martin Sorrell has hit back at comments made this week by investment bank Morgan Stanley, claiming Grey Global is 'not enormous' and acquiring it would not affect WPP badly.
Earlier this week Morgan Stanley said it believed the acquisition of Grey would not help WPP's long-term goals.
"WPP's rating has been dragged down in sympathy with its US advertising counterparts, who have been hit by worries over dilutive share conversions," the bank said in a research note on Monday.
Some investors were concerned that WPP could be caught up in a bidding war with Havas and several private equity firms. This would push up Grey's purchase price.
However, today Sir Martin told Reuters:"It doesn't move the needle at all. Grey, in the context of WPP, is not enormous."
He confirmed WPP was still conducting due diligence. "We continue to noodle," he said.
WPP, whose agencies include Young & Rubicam, Ogilvy & Mather and J. Walter Thompson, said pre-tax profit excluding goodwill and other items for the six months to June 30 was £234.7m. Revenue climbed 6% to a record £2bn today.
However, shares in the company fell by 2% after WPP said it was concerned about the state of the US economy following the boom provided by the presidental elections and the Olympics. WPP's shares were down by 10.5p to 484p.

Interstitial cystitis (IC) is a chronic inflammatory condition of the bladder that causes frequent, urgent, and painful urination and pelvic discomfort.
Although interstitial cystitis is a physical disease, there are a number of emotional effects for the sufferer. In fact, like any pain in the body, the pain of IC automatically induces an emotional response. For many people, this response may be so significant as to cause distress which interferes with the person's ordinary happiness, relationships or their ability to work.
Many women may present with secondary symptoms of irritation, anger, worry, depression, anxiety and chronic stress related conditions in response to both the ongoing pain and interruptions in ordinary functioning which result can result from interstitial cystitis. Difficulty with sexual function can be significant and there may be mounting concern about the effects on an established relationship or the prospects of forming a new relationship.
Person's with IC may also feel unable to speak with their friends or relatives about their condition. Moreover, family or friends may not have the skills to assist you to deal with the complex challenges that such a condition presents. Attending counselling with a counsellor or psychologists trained in women's health issues may assist you with the secondary or emotional issues related to having a chronic health condition as well as assisting you in planning for your ongoing self care.
Finally, counselling with a counsellor or psychologist who is trained in and sensitive to women's health issues may also assist you (and your partner) in working towards a more fulfilling sex life, which is as free as possible from pain and discomfort given your condition, and which integrates both partner sexual and personal needs.
Please feel free to contact Associated Counsellors & Psychologists Sydney for a confidential discussion and to arrange an appointment with a specialist in women's psychological health.

Actor Prithviraj Sukumaran, who is just one-film old in Bollywood, is extremely happy with the response to his recent Malayalam film "Ayalum Njanum Thammil". He says he now plans to remake it in Hindi with megastar Amitabh Bachchan.
"This is a very special film for me because this story, the plot of the film, was thought of nine years ago. It's a film that I have travelled around with. I took this film to a friend of mine to direct. (Now) I would like to remake this film in Hindi with Mr.Bachchan. Let's see how things fall in place," Prithviraj told IANS.
"Ayalum Njanum Thammil", directed by Lal Jose, hit the screens Oct 19. It features Narain, Rima Kallingal, Samvrutha Sunil and Remya Nambeesan, apart from Prithviraj.
Asked if he has already approached Big B for the remake, he said: "No, I haven't approached him yet. I would like Mr. Bachchan to see this film, but I am assuming he will like the film at least. It's just a dream."
"The response has been fantastic for this film and unfortunately this is the first time I am not in Kerala, during the release so feeling strange," added the 30-year-old.
Prithviraj made his Bollywood debut opposite Rani Mukherjee in the recently released "Aiyyaa", which has garnered a mixed response. But he is happy.
"Some have liked the film, some have not liked the film. But personally, I feel the film has created a lot of buzz for me. I didn't expect people to suddenly take interest in me, so I am getting lot of calls and people want me to hear lot of scripts.
"As a debutant (in Bollywood), I couldn't have asked for anything more. If you want to get noticed and that is the endeavour, then yes 'Aiyyaa' has worked for me somewhere," he said.
