Paul McCartney's Animated Film Project in the Works!
Showbiz411's Roger Friedman reports exclusively that Paul McCartney's animated film project is moving forward. Friedman reports that producers Michael Lynne and Bob Shaye have completed a finished script that "everyone's happy with."
In addition, an offer has been put out to directors, with the plan to have one in place before the summer comes to an end. Mulan's Tony Bancroft was rumored to be helming the project, but that report proved false.
Last night, Sir Paul returned to his current concert tour following an illness with sidelined him for seven weeks. The musician took to the stage in Albany, New York and even helped a couple become engaged on stage during his final encore. Check out the video here!

I'm the original owner of a 97 astro. I had the same problem, hard shift from 1st to 2nd. It first happened around 30k, they (the dealer) said it was the shifting valve body. Like clock work it happened again around 60k, thankfully I had the extended warranty. At 90k again, no warranty. I won't bore you with Chevy's response or lack there of to this issue. Took it to a reputable Trany shop, was told that inside the shifting valve body there is a piston (don't remember exactly what it does) that wears out the cylinder wall inside the valve body causing the piston to bind. This hang-up causes the computer to think that the trans is slipping, inturn it increases the hydraulic pressure there by causing the hard shift. They installed a kit in which they bore out the cylinder install a steel sleave in the valve body and replace the piston. About $360 back in 2000. They told me this problem was quite common. The van now has 226k, thats 131k miles and 11 years on the repair, it has never missed a beat.
Hope this is helpful.

I have a good friend who's also a top-notch backyard mechanic. He kept telling me we needed to change the filter & fluid, but due to the economy, he's had to go north the last two summers to find work that pays a decent salary, so we hadn't gotten around to doing this. Too late now, just a few days ago, I started backing up, but heard a loud BANG the next thing I knew I had NO REVERSE GEAR!! Now I'm wondering if it would pay to rebuild this tranny, or get one out of a junkyard & hope for the best

Children play on a swing during the Eid in Beirut.
BEIRUT: As Lebanon celebrated Eid al-Adha over the weekend, religious leaders called on top officials and politicians to focus their efforts on dialogue and promote national unity in the country.
Grand Mufti Mohammad Rashid Qabbani led Adha prayers at Mohammad al-Amin Mosque in Downtown Beirut Sunday.
Education Minister Hassan Diab attended on behalf of Prime Minister Najib Mikati and Beirut MP Imad Hout was also present.
While Future Movement lawmakers boycotted Qabbani's Eid al-Fitr prayers in late August, Future Movement MP Ammar Houri attended Sunday on behalf of former Prime Minister Saad Hariri and Sidon MP Fouad Siniora was also in the audience.
During the Adha sermon, Qabbani said that Lebanese should avoid using the terms of "minority and majority," except when referring to Parliament and Cabinet.
"We have to drop these repulsive terms from public life because they are a source of worry … and make the other feel that he's inferior to people … we are all Lebanese," Qabbani said.
He also said that Lebanese groups do not need to turn to outside powers for protection from each other, as each group in the country guarantees the safety of the others.
"This can only take place by closing ranks and prioritizing national interest away from partisan or outside interests, for outside powers care only for their interests," he said, adding that Israel was Lebanon's only enemy.
"We will not accept that Lebanon hold only one group of the Lebanese. Lebanon is for all its people," he added.
Qabani said that the country is not in need of a "new spring," as the Lebanese people achieved their spring when they established Lebanon and agreed that it would be a nation for all Lebanese.
"What we need is only to uphold Lebanon as a country – now more than ever – and for a cool summer breeze … to bring us together and lead us to abandon disputes," he said.
For his part, Vice President of the Higher Shiite Council Sheikh Abdel-Amir Qabalan said during an Eid sermon that Lebanon was witnessing "difficult and dangerous days."
"We have to meet, agree and close ranks; we have to preserve Lebanon through dialogue, communication, cooperation and love," he said.
Qabalan said that the Lebanese should engage in dialogue to protect the country from conspiracies designed to spark strife.
Speaking at the council's headquarters in Beirut's southern suburbs Monday, Qabalan also called for forming a religious astrological committee to determineone date for Eid al-Fitr and Eid al-Adha. This year, Qabbani announced that the Eid would begin on Nov. 6, while Qabalan declared its start to be Nov. 7.
In a similar vein, Druze spiritual leader Sheikh Naim Hasan voiced hope that Lebanese leaders and politicians would sense the "pressing necessity" of using dialogue.
In his sermon after leading prayers, he called for resolving disputes through "a spirit of understanding" and for acting in the interest of the country.
In parallel, Hasan called for bolstering the capabilities of the Lebanese Army and spreading the culture of resistance against Israel.
In Sidon, Sheikh Salim Susan, the mufti of Sidon and the south, led prayers at Hajj Bahaeddine Hariri Mosque, where MP Siniora and a host of local figures gathered.
The sheikh called on officials to promote civil peace and stability and provide job opportunities. He also said that Sidon was waiting for a clear position from the Cabinet in support of the Special Tribunal for Lebanon's funding.
In Tripoli, Sheikh Mohammad Tarek Imam led Adha prayers in the Grand Mansouri Mosque.

Emotionally drained, Keith Price spoke softly with his eyes red and his body battered. Trying to carry Washington and making too many mistakes along the way left Price a wreck. ''Mentally it's rough dealing with something like this, knowing that you had an opportunity to win the game and I mess it up, and on several occasions,'' Price said. ''I'll grow from this. I've never really had to deal with stuff like this before and it's good for me.'' Price committed three turnovers in the fourth quarter to short-circuit Washington's attempts to rally from a 17-point deficit, and No. 11 USC held on for a 24-14 win over the Huskies on Saturday. The final two turnovers charged to Price were a matter of situation, with a forced passed getting tipped for an interception and Price fumbling on a late scramble with 2 minutes remaining as he was hit from the side during a final frantic drive by the Huskies. But it was his fumble inside the USC 5 with 11 minutes left that ended Washington's bes...

Super Rugby: Bottom side Stormers crushed South African rivals Lions
Last Updated: 19/04/14 7:18pm
Try-time for Nizaam Carr
The Stormers recorded a much-needed 18-3 win against South African rivals the Lions in Saturday's Super Rugby clash at Newlands.
Having played some refreshingly attractive rugby to lead 18-0 at the break, the second half turned into a dogfight.
Pegged at the bottom of the standings the Stormers started the match at a frantic pace and were soon rewarded with a penalty in the third minute which Demetri Catrakilis converted.
It would, however, be one of his last actions in the game as he left the field minutes later with a broken nose - forcing Peter Grant to move from full-back to fly-half with Jaco Taute slotting in at the back.
For the first time this season the Stormers enjoyed a scintillating start and showcased great interplay between forwards and backs.
Where other Stormers sides would have kicked for touch when presented with penalties, the one that restored some faith on Saturday preferred to play the situation perfectly and were rewarded for doing so.
It was pretty much one-way traffic during the first half with Nizaam Car proving to be one of their most reliable forwards.
The only area where they looked vulnerable was at the breakdown while a lack of discipline could also be seen as reason for concern.
Hooker Deon Fourie saw yellow just after the 20 minute mark for charging into the back of Lions prop Schalk van der Merwe at a ruck.
But the Stormers didn't let the disadvantage get in their way and from a turnover well inside their own half, managed to score their first try of the match.
The initial kick ahead came from Damien de Allende and was collected by Juan de Jongh who ran out of space close to the touchline.
With numbers out wide, Stormers captain Jean de Villiers threw a poor pass, but then took a quick tap as the Lions were adjudged to have entered the ruck from the side.
A brilliant offload by Nic Groom put Carr into pace and he forced his way over the line to further stretch the Stormers lead.
Fourie nearly received his second yellow minutes before half-time as he conceded three penalties while trying to steal the ball close to his own try-line, but a moment of brilliance there would ensure that the Lions returned to their dressing room without a point to show.
At the break the Stormers looked to have the match in the bag at 18-0 although they struggled to compete at the same intensity.
However, the inefficiencies the Lions have experienced at line-out in recent weeks continued to prevent them from capitalising when they had their opponents on the ropes.
Their ball-handling skills were equally unimpressive while their only saving grace again proved to be the commitment they showed in defence.
Their line-out drives weren't too bad either, but that strength was limited due to their poor line-out throws.
One aspect that was as clear as daylight was the fact that neither of the sides were aware of what the referee's interpretation at the breakdown would be.
Preventing the Stormers from adding to their half-time total can also be seen as a small victory.

Ramon Ramirez. I fully expect him to be our fifth starter next year; he may even be a good #4 starter. He was pretty impressive in September.
I'm still not exactly sure where I'm gonna vote Ramon Ramirez and Chris Dickerson yet. I like both of those guys...I think Dickerson is gonna develop into into at least an average center fielder with great defense and I see Ramirez as a solid back-end starter, or an above average middle reliever. That's good enough for top ten, however, since they're both a little older than your normal prospect I'm leaning toward voting them in the 10-15 range.

I miss Adam Dunn.
I'll be voting Lotzkar until he wins... hopefully this is the last time I have to vote for him.
If Lotzkar wins, that will mean three of the Reds top six prospects are from outside the United States. Yonder Alonso is of Cuban descent, Neftali Soto is from Puerto Rico, and Kyle Lotzkar is Canadian. It also looks like Juan Duran (Dominican Republic) may also crack the top 10, and possibly Juan Francisco (Dominican Republic) too. Plus, Yorman Rodriguez and Ramon Ramirez (Venezuela) will most likely crack the top 15. I love the diversity - it shows the Reds are drafting well outside the U.S. and making a commitment to signing big prospects in the International field. That's huge for a smaller market team like the Reds.
I miss Adam Dunn.
Some of these players have put up some impressive numbers in the minor leagues. Ramon Ramirez has put up numbers like this - 2.67 ERA, 1.04 WHIP, .556 OPS against - in the Major Leagues. It seems like those numbers deserve a bit more respect.
I mean I haven't had this much trouble selecting a prospect for a spot in a long time. Every time I think of one that I might go with here I seem to come up with 1 fairly big issue of why not to select them at this spot. Ramirez is perhaps the only one I don't know much about.
"You can't let praise or criticism get to you. It's a weakness to get caught up in either one."
--Woody Hayes
Im flip flopping like a John Kerry bobble head on Ramirez and Lotzkar, Im back to Ramirez this time, I really shouldnt be voting in these polls.
Still, as much as I like Thompson, I'm going with the guy dancing on the sand.Code:Year Age Aff W L W-L% G GS CG SHO GF SV IP H R ER HR BB SO HBP WP BFP IBB BK ERA WHIP +----+----+---+---+---+-----+----+---+---+---+---+---+------+----+----+----+---+----+---+---+---+-----+---+---+------+-----+ 2008 22 CIN 8 4 .667 21 20 0 0 0 0 126.2 105 47 38 8 30 99 2 6 499 0 0 2.70 1.07
I miss Adam Dunn.
Ramirez has a career minor league 4.51 with 1.35 WHIP. HR rates are a little high. Combine that with the fact that he'll be 27 next year and I don't see the excitement. The good thing is he's pitched very well out of the bullpen, both in the minors and majors, and that's where I see him ending up. Has good K and BB rates.
I miss Adam Dunn.

displaying, in a first window on a computer screen, a first photo album page from among the plurality of photo album pages, wherein said first photo album page in said first window includes a group of photos;
upon receipt of a user command, automatically producing a second photo album page based on said first photo album page and displaying, in a second window next to said first window on said computer screen, said second photo album page for side by side comparison of said first photo album page and said second photo album page, said second photo album page in said second window also including said group of photos, each of said first and second photo album pages having a layout and being capable of being independently modified by said user through manipulation of graphical elements in said first or second window on said computer screen, wherein said automatically producing and displaying occurs without direct user intervention by said user beyond provision of said user command;
receiving first user input in one of said first or second window on said computer screen that modifies part of either said first or second photo album page, wherein said modification enables said user to contrast said first and second photo album pages; and
receiving second user input that selects one of said first and second photo album pages for inclusion in said plurality of photo album pages.

4. The method of
5. The method of
The present invention relates generally to graphical editing systems and more particularly to photography, photo-journaling, and scrapbook and photo album page construction.
It has been the nature of humankind to establish a lasting record of the times, the people and the events that manifested the culture, thoughts, desires, experiences, and technologies of an era. Witness, for example, the inscriptions and art forms in the hieroglyphics of the Egyptian Empire and in the carvings on the walls of the cliff dwellings of early native-American Indians. With varying venues these records have historical, educational, and personal value, and manifest the skill sets of artists, sculptors, engravers, and artisans in general.
Since the invention of the photographic imaging technique in the early 1800s, photography and photographic images have played an ever-increasing role in chronicling people, events and life styles—with the camera and photos having become the tools of choice for the largest part of humankind. With the price of cameras, film, and film processing finding its way into virtually everyone's budget, the proliferation of photos has given rise to its own information glut, with the associated technologies for storing, archiving, displaying, and journaling the photographic images markedly lagging behind the technology developments in cameras and in the photographic process itself. As a result, personal photos—with all their qualities in color and resolution, and their immeasurable personal value—all too often pass through an initial round of show-and-tell with friends, family members and associates, and end up in a drawer or stored in a box. This result is not from lack of interest, but rather a lack of time and appropriate user-friendly technologies to archive, display and journal the photos in a way fitting their role in documenting life.
The need for easier and faster techniques for archiving, displaying and journaling has grown more critical with the burgeoning market in digital cameras and the hastening pace of society. People now take more pictures than ever before. And with this new capability comes an increased workload that is simply a function of scale.
To appreciate the increased volume in pictures, one need only compare the conventional analog film approach of 12, 24 or 36 pictures per roll of film with the storage (i.e., memory) capacity of a digital camera. Typical "starter" memories (i.e., the memory provided with a newly purchased camera) begin at 4 MB, scaling up from there to 16, 32, 64, 128 MB, and higher. At 4 MB, a photographer can take approximately 60 pictures with a 640×480 pixel resolution using JPEG compression. And with a 64 MB memory, one can take approximately 900 pictures before needing to "reload" the camera.
What is needed therefore are tools that enable a user to cope with the volume of photos in a quick, easy and creative manner that leverages existing skill sets for purposes of documenting, recording, archiving and displaying the photos.
The principles of the present invention satisfy the above-mentioned needs by providing a tool that enables a user to efficiently manage graphical information. In one embodiment, tools are provided that enable a user to creatively assemble, chronicle and modify photo album pages having a variety of graphical elements.
In order to describe the manner in which the above-recited and other advantages and features of the invention can be obtained, a more particular description of the invention briefly described above will be rendered by reference to specific embodiments thereof which are illustrated in the appended drawings. Understanding that these drawings depict only typical embodiments of the invention and are not therefore to be considered to be limiting of its scope, the invention will be described and explained with additional specificity and detail through the use of the accompanying drawings in which:
Various embodiments of the invention are discussed in detail below. While specific implementations are discussed, it should be understood that this is done for illustration purposes only. A person skilled in the relevant art will recognize that other components and configurations may be used without parting from the spirit and scope of the invention.
Various aspects of the present invention described below enable a user to realize that a photo-album page or photo-collage can be created quickly, easily, and artistically in a manner heretofore unforeseen for a personal computer with minimal system requirements and for a user with novice-level computer skills. The quickness and ease results from the construction, organization, and implementation of appropriate tools and databases that adhere to prescribed rules of geometry, form, function and format as well as prevailing aspect ratios consistent with digital images, photographic papers and printers.
The adherence to these rules makes it possible for even a novice computer user, equipped with a ubiquitous word-processing application-software (e.g., Microsoft Word), to construct a pleasing professional-quality photo album page that incorporates the user's own personal creativity. This can be done with any reasonable number of digital images (or any other graphical representation in digital form) and with user-defined or user-selected companion text that helps describe, document, or otherwise journal the people, places, and events captured in the images.
In one embodiment, the present invention incorporates the aforementioned geometrical rules, keys on the number and formats of the photos selected by the user for a given photo album page, and builds on a multiplicity of background and layout-configuration templates with a copy-and-paste methodology. In accordance with the principles of the present invention, the user need not re-position, size or re-size, crop, or otherwise adjust the dimensions of a single photo. In general, the ease with which the user can insert photos in a selected template is analogous to inserting photos into a conventional vinyl-sleeve album. This ease and speed of use allows the user, in just a matter of minutes, to completely re-do a given album page in pursuit of a better or otherwise different artistic combination of backgrounds and borders that might better complement the photos in a given photo album page.
Prior to describing details of the present invention, it should be noted that use of the term photo album page should not be construed as limiting the present invention. The term photo album page is used to generically describe a photo collage or any other collection of graphical elements that incorporates one or more photos.
To illustrate the various aspects of the present invention, reference is made to the flowchart of
For example, consider an embodiment that is based on a word processing program such as Microsoft Word. In this embodiment, the blank page can appear as a new page within a multi-page word processing document or as a whole new document itself. Either scenario would be acceptable in its familiarity with the user.
Here, it should be noted that leveraging the functions of a word processing program can provide distinct advantages. First, due to the ubiquitous nature of word processing programs such as Microsoft Word, a huge installed base of users can be leveraged. This base of users need not learn new skills as they have already developed a deep-rooted familiarity with the basic structure and workflow of the word processing program. Second, the ubiquitous nature of the word processing program reduces the requirements for the software to be installed on the user's computer. As the bulk of the program elements are already pre-existent on the user's computer, only a relatively light weight software install would be required. In general, these advantages can often be in sharp contrast to conventional stand-alone software programs that are dedicated to photo album page creation.
Once the user is presented with a blank page, the process then continues at step 104, where the user selects or otherwise generates a background for the new album page. In one embodiment, the background can be represented by a generic item such as a solid, blend, texture, pattern, mosaic, etc. In another embodiment, the background can be represented by a theme specific item such as an image relating to sports or celebrations/events such as birthdays, anniversaries, graduation, holidays, seasons, leisure, etc. In general, the background can be represented by any item that would be desirable to include in the portions of the album page that are not obscured in some manner by the photos on the album page.
In one embodiment, the user selects from a plurality of potential backgrounds that can be presented to the user as a collection of thumbnail images.
As would be appreciated, the specific user interface used to transfer the selected background to the album page would be implementation dependent. In one embodiment, the simple selection of a particular thumbnail would be sufficient to load the data from a background file in the library onto the album page. In other embodiments, the user can be invited to drag-and-drop, copy-and-paste, or perform any other action that would be intuitively recognized by the user as accomplishing the desired function of association.
After the background for the image is applied to the blank page, the user then proceeds to step 106, where a layout configuration for the album page is selected. In general, the layout configuration can be used to define the relative positions of images, text, or any other graphical elements that would be desirable to be included on the album page. As would be appreciated, multiple layout configurations can also be defined for specific groupings of graphical elements to thereby achieve an increased level of granularity and inherent control.
In one embodiment, the layout configuration is used to define the relative locations of images and text. Within this framework, a collection of layout configurations can be predefined that would cover the range of possibilities that would be considered desirable to the user. This collection of layout configurations would be stored in a database (or library) of configuration files.
Here, it should be noted that, in one embodiment, the layout configurations are stored in a separate database as compared to the database of backgrounds. In one sense, this separation between the layout configuration and background databases is illustrative of an element of artistic control desired by most users. In general, the desirability of the layout configurations would often be determined independently of the background selection. While it would be the case that some backgrounds would complement certain layout configurations or a certain subset of photos, the separation of the two design elements provides increased functionality, flexibility and creativity to the user. This increased functionality is primarily evident in the editing phase where the user can modify a background/layout configuration combination by changing one or more of the design elements.
By presenting the user with a variety of layout configurations, the user can quickly scan the included selections and select the one that seems appropriate. The need for individual placement, movement, and adjustments of individual graphical elements would thereby be averted.
In general, it should be noted that the collection of layout configurations can also be presented to the user in a structured hierarchical manner. This organized presentation would enable the user to navigate through a greater number of potential layout configurations as the user quickly and intuitively drills down to the particular layout configuration that meets his/her needs. For example, a structured hierarchy can be defined based on the number of photos, the orientation of the photos (e.g., portrait or landscape mode), the size of the photos, or any other element of categorization that would be recognizable to the user.
It should also be noted that the specific content and format of the layout configurations would be implementation dependent. In one embodiment that is based on a word processing program such as Microsoft Word, the layout configurations can be stored as independent word processing files (e.g., DOC files) that define the configuration elements. Here, each file can, for example, include placeholders for the photo images and text.
Alternatively, of course, a single master configuration file can be used to store the configuration elements for all layout configurations. The master file could then be accessed when the particular layout configuration needs to be generated for application to the album page.
Once the particular layout configuration is selected, it can then be applied to the album page. This application can be an iterative process (i.e., repeating of steps 102 and/or 104) as the ultimate desirability of the layout configuration can often be determined only in association with the background. For example, a particular generic background featuring an asymmetric pattern may seem desirable only in association with a complementing asymmetric layout configuration.
As would be appreciated, the specific user interface used to transfer the selected layout configuration to the album page would be implementation dependent. In one embodiment, the simple selection of a particular thumbnail would be sufficient to load a particular layout configuration stored in a layout configuration database onto the album page. In other embodiments, the user can be invited to drag-and-drop, copy-and-paste, or perform any other action that would be intuitively recognized by the user as accomplishing the desired function.
After the background and layout configurations have been selected, the user then proceeds to step 108, where pictures and text are inserted into the album page. In contrast to conventional album creation solutions, this process can proceed quickly due to the existing application of a layout configuration onto the album page. With existing placeholders evident on the album page, the process at step 108 can simply require the association of images and text to the existing placeholders.
For image files (e.g., photos or clip art), this process can be designed to proceed with the aid of a user interface similar to those illustrated in
In one embodiment, the process of associating images to a layout configuration includes the automatic sizing of a picture relative to a picture border. Various picture border options can be included to represent a desired set of conventional framing styles (e.g., double matting). The process of automatically sizing a picture relative to the picture border can be performed in various ways. In one embodiment, the formats of the image and the image place-holder are matched, and the size, geometry, and location of the image place-holder dominates. In other words, no matter how big/small the image, it is perfectly fit within the defined bounds of the image place-holder. In effect, what you see is what you get. If the formats do not match, then the place-holder locks the horizontal dimension (of its geometry) and automatically adjusts the vertical dimension to accommodate the mismatched image format. The result may still be acceptable to the user and be allowed to stand as automatically accommodated. If the result is too big/small or somehow visually incompatible with the rest of the album page components, then the user can easily re-size the result (e.g., by "grabbing" the corner), maintaining the required image aspect ratio constant. Further, the user can drag the "final" image placeholder with its image to a more accommodating location on the page.
After the process of step 108 is completed, the user is now presented with an album page that is suitable for printing or publishing. Prior to printing or publishing, however, the user can also decide to exercise a "what if" modification of any given album page in pursuit of a "better" or different artistic presentation of the same photo set.
In accordance with the present invention, this process is equally easy and fast. In one embodiment, the "what if" scenario can be enabled through the simultaneous display of a second candidate page, which can be based on a duplicate of a selected album page. With this simultaneous display of candidate pages, the user can iteratively modify the two candidate pages and choose the desired combination of graphical elements based on a side-by-side comparison. See, for example, the illustration of
In an embodiment that is based on word processing program components, the candidate pages can be effected through the creation of a new document that includes a copy or variant of a selected page. Once the copy or variant is placed in the newly created document, the two candidate pages can be simultaneously viewed side-by-side.
At this point, the user can then choose to modify individual graphical components on the two candidate pages. For example, the user can modify the background on the first candidate page and modify the layout configuration on the second candidate page. Clearly, the user is permitted to perform any amount of modifications on any of the two pages, being constrained only to the degree that the user intends to compare pages with similar graphical compositions. If the user intends to compare two highly variant designs, then no constraints in the amount of modifications would be apparent.
Regardless of the amount of modifications selected by the user, the side-by-side comparison enables effective decision making through a clear understanding of the differences between two candidate designs. Clarity abounds through the simultaneous display.
Once the desired graphical combination is selected, the unselected candidate can be deleted simply through the closing of the document. Again, it is worth noting that these functions are all familiar to the user who is familiar with the conventional functions of a word processing program. The limited learning curve leads to increased confidence and a lower barrier to product adoption and competency development.
One benefit of leveraging the installed base of software and users is the ability to further leverage complementary functions in a word processing environment. For example, in one embodiment, features of the word processing program such as image editing, image sizing, border definition, font control, print control, etc. can all be included with minimal product development and subsequent training of the adopting users. All of these features and learning accrue to a new graphical editing application.
As would be appreciated, the "what if" scenario can also be applied to more than two candidate designs. Indeed no limitation on the number of album page duplications would be envisioned beyond the likely limitations of the permissible screen area of display.
It should also be noted that the description of the editing process for a candidate page should not be construed as limiting the scope of the present invention. Indeed, it is contemplated that the side-by-side comparison of candidate pages can be applied to any graphical environment that seeks to examine viable alternatives. It is believed that an application of significant effectiveness would reside in those contexts where discrete combinations of graphical elements (e.g., background, layout configuration, etc.) can be quickly swapped.
Although the above description may contain specific details, they should not be construed as limiting the claims in any way. Other configurations of the described embodiments of the invention are part of the scope of this invention. However, the invention may have applicability in a variety of environments. Therefore, the invention is not limited to any particular application. Accordingly, the appended claims and their legal equivalents only should define the invention, rather than any specific examples given.

Mr Neil will use a speech at an NHS conference in Glasgow to insist that Scotland's health service is performing well, despite "significant challenges".
Speaking ahead of the event, he said that there was "no room for complacency" and that proposals for a new system of using the views of patients would be developed before the end of the year.
"We must do more to listen to, and promote, the voices of those we care for," Mr Neil said. "We need the voices of our patients, those receiving care and their families, to be heard in a much clearer and stronger way.
"I will be bringing forward proposals for a new system of listening to, and promoting, the patients' voice. I have tasked Healthcare Improvement Scotland and the Scottish Health Council to develop these new proposals.
"Their task is straightforward — develop a system that means we do more to truly hear the voice of patients."

I like short girls - Girls with tattoos - Skinny jeans(On Girls) - Shoulder length hair to bottom of the shoulder blade I don't have a lot of time to go out unless its a weekend, work, unless we can meet kinda early in the evening. I can be funny when I get comfortable with you. Mostly I look for a good time, if its with friends or I'm by myself, I look to find some enjoyment in whatever it is I'm doing. I hope to find someone out there that will enjoy the things I like and vise versa. I'm pretty well done playing around and am looking for something that's gonna last, more less what Grandma and Grandpa had. If you're not gonna give me a chance to talk, then keep going. I don't have time to think about someone who isn't gonna give me a second thought. I am a fanatic for "Call of Duty," so if you can't stand a guy who wants to take out about an hour of his life to dispatch some bad guys, you might want to keep scrolling. I just quit smoking Feb. 28th, so I don't want a smoker, I don't want to be tempted or have the smell so easy around my delicate nasil passages. I don't like chocolate, you can have mine. I like the outdoors a lot; when its warm I'm usually out on the river or camping on the weekends. I'm emotionally damaged, so if we get together, please give it a minute.

Stationery Saturday with Caravan Vet
April 6, 2012 by Jenni · Leave a Comment
For the April 6 Stationery Saturday, we're personalizing animal-themed lettersheets. Crazy for cats? You'll love the sleepy kitten. Fancy a fox? We got that covered. And there's a wiener dog, a chickadee and a squirrel too! Pick your favorite critter (or two) and we'll imprint a set for you with the name or phrase of your choice. There's two 18-point lead fonts to choose from (Goudy Oldstyle or Clarendon Bold), and two ink colors too (brown or blue). All the animals have been pre-printed in taupe ink on 80# natural white wove-finish stationery sheets, measuring 5.5×8.5 inches. We think it's a great size for a letter – not too big, not too small! You also get your choice of 5 different textured envelopes to accompany your custom stationery. And we'll tie it all up with butchers twine and a letterpress-printed tag, making a ready-to-give gift or a handsome treasure to keep for yourself.
From 11 to 6, we'll have the Heidelberg Windmill and the Vandercook proof press inked up and ready to go. Guests can watch as we set type and run the presses, or just nibble on homemade cookies and browse in our shop while we do the dirty work. Whatever you choose, we'll send you home with a set of custom letterpress-printed stationery for just $29. Do make sure you peek at our Mother's Day and Father's Day cards while you're here, we have a bunch of great designs in stock and they're going fast.
Special guest Dr. Christa of Caravan Vet will be here too! Caravan Vet is the metro's first full-service mobile veterinary clinic. You won't be able to miss her big poodle-emblazened rig, which will be parked out front. Christa was a part-time worker bee here at Lunalux when she was a student of veterinary medicine, so we are excited to have her on hand for one of our weekend specials. She'll be giving tours of the clinic, and handing out gift bags (full of pet goodies from our other friends at Urbanimal) to everyone who takes part in the Stationery Saturday festivities. Be sure to visit the Caravan Vet website to learn more about their services.
Check our Stationery Saturday page for additional details about the event, and upcoming Stationery Saturday dates. We've created a listing for the event on our facebook page, and we hope you'll tell all your friends about it! If you can't participate in the fun this weekend, you're not out of luck. You can order your personalized animal stationery through the Lunalux storefront at feltandwireshop.com
Design + Print: Squirrelly wedding invitations
November 25, 2008 by Jenni · Leave a Comment
We recently created this unique wedding invitation for Nicole and Zeb, a sweet couple with a nutty sense of humor. At our initial meeting, the betrothed were interested in two different concepts: intricate scroll/vine illustrations, or a squirrel in a tree. After reviewing our initial round of invitation mock-ups, the squirrel was the clear winner. It's so much fun when clients come to us with original ideas, and we get to bring those ideas to life. I'm very pleased with how these invitations turned out – the quirky motif, cool color scheme, and chunky typesetting are all fresh elements for us, and it's always a treat to do something new!
We developed the squirrel-in-the-tree graphic using a few different pieces of clip art, and paired the image with sturdy, interesting fonts. The invitation, RSVP postcard, information/directions card, and thank-you flat were all letterpress-printed in gray and navy ink on florescent white 100% cotton Lettra cover, and paired with pale gray envelopes.
Like all of our wedding invitations, Nicole & Zeb's suite was custom-designed just for them. We specialize in working closely with couples to develop wedding stationery that reflects their personality and the mood of the event, be it whimsical and fun or romantic and old-fashioned.

Is there a way to get the 305 to ALWAYS keep tracking data without starting a "lap"? I keep bumping the lap button and turning it off and then when I go to look where I have been on Google Earth, of course nothing shows up. The Foretrek always kept tracking data, it didn't require any thought.

Dengue fever is the fastest spreading tropical disease in the world and has "an epidemic potential" after seeing a thirtyfold increase over the past 50 years, the World Health Organization warned Wednesday.
The agency blamed climate change and more movement of people across the world for the proliferation of the disease, which is spread via mosquitoes.
Highlighting just how quickly the disease has spread, the organization said that only three to eight countries reported cases of dengue in the mid-1950s. But now, dengue has spread to more than 125 countries, mainly near and along the equator and tropics.
"Although the full global burden of the disease is uncertain, the patterns are alarming both for human health and the global economy," the WHO report said.
According to Reuters, Europe in 2012 experienced its first dengue outbreak in nearly a century after 2,000 people on the Portuguese island of Madeira were sickened.
Around 2 million new cases of dengue are reported each year, causing some 5,000 to 6,000 deaths. The best vaccine against the disease is only around 30 percent effective, according to the news agency.
"Dengue is the most threatening and fastest spreading mosquito-borne disease. It is pandemic-prone, but it is a threat only. Definitely a bigger threat now than ever," Raman Velayudhan, a specialist with the WHO's tropical diseases department, told Reuters.
Velayudhan said that the WHO's estimates of 2 million new cases per year is likely not nearly enough. He said there are probably 50 million cases a year, causing as many as 20,000 deaths per year, reported AFP.
Dengue is one of several viruses carried by the Aedes aegypti mosquito. The disease causes fever, joint pains, itching, and headaches, but some suffer more severe symptoms, including severe bleeding, which can lead to hospitalization or death.
Velayudhan said at a news conference that the mosquito "has silently expanded its distribution" in recent years, reported Reuters. "So today you have (the) aedes mosquito in over 150 countries. The threat of dengue exists all across the globe."
Malaria, another mosquito-borne disease, has caused far more deaths but is currently on the decline, with reports of cases in less than 100 countries, according to Reuters.
"We are trying to address this in a more systematic way, by controlling entry of vectors at points of entry—seaports, airports, as well as the ground crossings," Velayudhan said.
The WHO named dengue as 1 of 17 "neglected tropical diseases" that will be targeted by a global strategy that includes a supply of medications.
One of the illnesses, guinea-worm disease—which can produce a parasite as long as three feet—and yaws, an infection that attacks bone, skin, and joints, are targeted for worldwide eradication in 2015 and 2020, respectively.

Sharp 1803 '14 Star Reverse' Eagle, MS621803 $10 Extra Star MS62 NGC. Large Reverse Stars, Star on Cloud, Breen-6845, Taraszka-30, BD-5, R.4. The six varieties of 1803 eagle all share a common obverse die, which was mated with six different reverse dies to produce four Small Reverse Stars and two Large Reverse Stars die combinations.
This interesting BD-5 variety has a most unusual feature: On the cloud on the extreme right, below the letter F, a small star was impressed in the die, lying entirely within the borders of the cloud itself. A leaf point is beneath the left corner of the I in AMERICA (on the other Large Reverse Stars die, the leaf point is between RI), and the A's in the legend are complete, save the last (on the other, the punch broke and the left inner feet on the right stand of the A's are missing). We can think of no other variety in any series where this happened in exactly this manner. The only similar occurrence is on the 1799 B-3 dollar, which has two stars partially buried beneath the clouds. As such it is quite rare, and remained unknown until Harry Bass discovered this feature in 1966.
This sharply struck example boasts essentially full definition, except on a few breast feathers and the stars above the eagle's head. Some adjustment marks of Mint origin are near the arrow shafts and a couple of the clouds, distant from the focal points of the coin. The fields have semiprooflike luster, and the apricot-gold color is attractive. A couple of tiny dark spots are in the eagle's shield, and the obverse has the expected number of minor marks. An important offering for both the specialist and the early gold type set collector. 14 Star Reverse NGC Census: 13 in 62, 7 finer (3/08). (PCGS# 88565)

62 year old man | Oak Park, CA, USA | Seeking women 40-55 within 25 miles
There must be some kinda way outta here!
Hi there, Half American, half French, native Angelino. I've traveled extensively in the U.S. and overseas for business and for pleasure. I like to play the tourist visiting new places, or relax anywhere that involves sun, sand, water and palm trees, or good snow. I hold a BA from UCLA and a MS from CSUN. Also attended USC before defecting to Westwood. (Consequently, I was able to enjoy the best of both worlds: Trojan football and Bruin b-ball dynasties.) For a couple of decades I was CEO and owner of a successful mid-sized educational toy company. I've recently started a web-based graphics design and printing firm that produces a unique consumer product line for cell phones and laptops. My 18 year old son lives with me most of the time, and my two adult daughters are in college. I'm looking for a true friend, lover and partner-in-crime; a woman who is as beautiful on the inside as she is on the outside: sweet, confident, romantic, fun-loving. I once knew true love and I long to know it again. Thanks for stopping by. If you're so-inclined, feel free to shoot me a message!

015169.html?view=53273217#t53273217Purrball is doing great, she was still not herself this morning. She still had loose stools, and did not want to eat. I gave her some cooked chicken liver, rice and broth, which she ate slowly. Around noon, she turned back into her self. Running around the house, playing with everything and getting into places she should not. Byron decided to cuff her around and play with her. Since he was treating her like a china doll last night and this morning. I think she is fine now. She is watching a sun beam ready to attack... Yep, back to normal. Now to write up the story for dog-boston. Get some reading done.
She was very quiet last night, not even wanting to play, or do much more than sleep.This morning I feed her some of Byron's food. Now she has energy to burn, and has gone through all her toys, and some of his. She is going from open window to open window exploring the world.I'll write more later, I am a bit tired.
First off, welcome to new reader sothe I also keep the blog tapadance and you will find stories and pictures of all the animals at the Revere Beach zoo. (As the neighborhood children call my home)Hey there, personal reminder to graykin , if you do not start updating your journal, I will start doing it for you…I could just threaten to have someone spank you, but I already promised to tie you up, and that did no good. I would be such a good guest blogger. Today was a busy day, I have a start date of March 28th for the work to be done down stairs. Should take about two weeks to get the work done, then I will start laying tile and spreading out around the house. It will be a nice area when it is finished, a new door, tile on the floor, and larger easier to use steps. Since I am going to be using the stairs on a daily basis, instead of every once in a while for laundry. My final plan will be to remove the steps leading to the second floor door, and turn that into a balcony. Then create a library room with a guest bed. I will turn the hall where I am currently sitting into a double wall of books. Long term goals are to move the kitchen down stairs and turn the back room into a small dressing room, master bath, and massive closet. It will require making a small wall for the steps, but stuff like that I can do. Massive stuff like putting in a new door, or tearing down walls, that I so can not do. Purrball gave me quite the scare at 6. I feed her a can of food and 5 and by 6 she was very sick. Since she does eat Eukanuba, and, had just eaten a can of chicken in gravy, I became concerned. The can was not from the recalled group, but had the same factory number 4197 on the can. I tried to tell myself I was just being paranoid, but then she fell asleep, and Byron started trying to wake her up. Then I realized she had messed on herself, sometime between my sitting next to her on the couch, and my getting up to make my dinner. I think that is when Byron became worried. . (This now has nature's miracle soaking into it.) This worried me on multiple levels, since Byron usually lets her sleep, and he could not get her to wake up. At that point, I figured it would be a better idea to run her down to Angell than just hope it was from spending so much time playing today. So without Byron in tow, I placed her in the crate and off we went. She was just a lump, an unresponsive lump. She slept the entire ride, which as those of you who know Purrball know, is SO not Purrball. Two hours, and 200 dollars later, she is ok. They made her vomit the rest of the food, and took blood and urine samples. Since she became responsive after the vomiting, and her preliminary blood and urine samples looked normal, I got to take her home. However, I have to keep an eye on her tonight, and give her some thing light to eat in the morning. I am going to mix a little egg white with her dry food in the morning.She is getting ready to fall asleep again, or something she is laying on the desk in front of the monitor. Her eyes are closed, but her head is up in the air. And, she is breathing I see her little belly going up and down. Way better than what she looked like at 6 pm. Then Byron was batting her around like a rag doll and getting no response. The doctor is unsure if she just crashed from over stimulation, or what. Byron is not worried now, so I am not worried. I find it hard to believe she could have fallen so deeply asleep that Byron could not wake her, or that she would have soiled herself. I will post more about the vet visit in tapadance in a bit.
Got a call from the animal hospital, they wanted to know if I had any other foods from the batch I feed Purrball on Friday. I let them know I had set everything aside. Well I have to find the receipt and bring them back. Other than some minor feeding issues, she is doing well. Today she and Byron ate some chicken, with rice and carrots in broth. Tomorrow they will both be getting beef hearts. Tuesday will be special, the store had rabbit on sale, rabbit! Now I wonder if I should find a local butcher to get my meat from?
The recall has been extended to EVERY SINGLE food made in this plant from December 1, 2006 - till March 25, 2007!
I am leaving this post open to all. Please spread the word

The saddest thing for me is that I have trusted you with the life of a creature who I hold very dear. Seeing what's become of you, I seriously regret that decision. My only hope is that you don't treat him like you treat your fellow humans. He deserves better than I feel you are willing to give.
I am not sure, but I think this has something to do with my not believing him when he accused two friends of mine of stealing from him. He made the accusation last week, the 'theft' which I do not believe, allegedly happened three years ago. Or that I do not like Firefox very much.

St. James Church in Lakewood reopens with feast of St. James
LAKEWOOD, Ohio - St. James Church in Lakewood held its first mass Wednesday night since being closed by Bishop Richard Lennon more than two years ago.
An overflow crowd packed the church for the 7 p.m. mass which was scheduled to coincide with the feast of St. James. Some stood at the door and along the front steps.
"I thought once they closed that would be it," parishioner Kim Drennan said. "But it's a miracle. The Lord rules."
Many said they have a long history with the church. Drennan was married there. There were also family funerals and baptisms.
Ashley Neuman is looking forward to having her baby, due in August, baptized in the church where she was baptized. "It's just a really beautiful thing," she said. "This has been a part of my life since I've been born so it's really nice to welcome it back and see everybody that came out to support it."
A sign in a window across the street from the Detroit Road church welcomed the church back.
"Hopefully the church will grow and thrive," former parishioner Dave Schurch said.
St. James is the sixth church to reopen after the Vatican overruled Bishop Lennon's decision.

Arizona Cardinals off and running with training camp
GLENDALE -- Much has changed since the whistle blew on the Arizona Cardinals' 2012 season. There's a new general manager, a new head coach, a new quarterback and countless other new faces tasked with returning the franchise to the playoffs for the first time since 2009.
Heck, there's even a new training camp location --University of Phoenix Stadium.
One thing though hasn't changed: The run test.
It marks the official start of training camp; and the players can't participate in training camp until they pass the test which consists of a 300-yard shuttle run (50-yard intervals) to be covered in 70 seconds.
"Extremely pleased, saw everything I needed to see," said head coach Bruce Arians, who noted he stopped the run early after each player ran the drill twice.
"He gave us a little break. He took it fairly easy on us," linebacker Daryl Washington said.
"Don't need to see them run anymore in shorts. Obviously, they're in really good shape and ready to go," explained Arians.
The Cardinals had not been together since mid-June, but each player in attendance passed the test. Rookies Jonathan Cooper (unsigned) and Ryan Swope (concussion questions) were absent Thursday.
"Shows that people actually worked in the five, six weeks that we've had off," center Lyle Sendlein said.
Of course, this year's run test took place inside an air-conditioned stadium as opposed to outside in the nearly 7,000-foot elevation of Flagstaff, the Cardinals' previous training camp home.
"I don't know," Sendlein said. "Us big guys and running don't mix well no matter how high in the air you are. We did what we had to do."
And now with the run out of the way, practice can begin.
"We need to put pads on and start hitting each other a little bit and hitting somebody else," Arians said smiling. "I'm tired of playing soccer. I mean soccer is a great game, but we play this one in the trenches and I want to see our offensive line and defensive line, and I think we can become pretty good, pretty quickly."
