1. General Purpose of Invention
The purpose of the invention is to analyze the contents of data to be printed on a digital imaging device, such as a laser printer, and determine an optimum processing strategy to print the data. The optimum strategy includes considerations pertaining to printing speed, image quality, and user preferences for the document.
2. Background of the Invention
In general terms, printing a document can be viewed as a process involving three steps:
A block diagram showing the major components in a prior art printing process is given in FIG. 1.
The user enters a print command to an application program 11, for example a word processor. The application program uses Application Program Interfaces (APIs) supplied by the operating system 13 to initiate the printing process. The operating system translates these API calls into Device Driver Interface (DDI) calls into the device (printer) driver 15. API and DDI interfaces are intended to be generic interfaces between the application program, the operating system, and the device driver. All knowledge about the specific requirements of a particular printing device, i.e., printer 17 resides within the device driver. It is the device driver which is the primary focus of this invention.
The device driver translates generic DDI calls from the operating system in a device-specific command stream and transmits it to the printer. The command stream contains whatever instructions are required to print the document, according to the capabilities and requirements of the printer. It may include marking functions, indicating where ink needs to be applied to the paper; set-up commands, indicating things such as imaging area and margins, positional information, units of measure and resolution contained in other commands, input and output paper tray, paper size, etc.; job control commands, indicating start and end of a print job, I/O timeout values to use, and other parameters governing the entire print job; and other information as required by the device.
Within this model, several print strategies are commonly used for dividing processing between the host and the printer. They can be generally divided into two categories. In printer-based solutions, there is generally a higher level of intelligence in the printer. The printer driver sends higher level commands to the printer, such as "draw a circle" or "draw a polygon", and the printer processes the commands into engine-ready pixels. The high-level commands are often referred to as a "Page Description Language" (PDL). In host-based solutions, the device driver in the host does more processing, and transmits either (a) device-ready pixels, or (b) an intermediate data form between PDL and pixels.
In prior art printing systems, the division of processing between device (printer) driver and printer is fixed. The device driver is designed to process data up to a certain point, then transmit the processed data to the printer. The printer receives the data, does whatever additional processing is required to prepare the page for the print engine, then passes it to the engine. For any and all pages, the device driver processes to a certain point, and the printer processes from that point until printing.
FIGS. 2(a)-2(c) shows the three common scenarios within a typical prior art printing system. In FIG. 2(a), a high-level PDL generated by device driver 15 a is sent to the printer, where it is rasterized and printed. In FIG. 2(b), the marking calls are broken down into an intermediate form between PDL and rasters by device driver 15 b. The intermediate form is processed into pixels in the printer. In FIG. 2(c), device-ready rasters are generated in device driver 15 c. They are sent to the printer, and printed.
In the scenario shown in FIG. 2(a), existing printers use a variety of both industry-standard PDLs (e.g. PostScript, PCL5E, PCL5C, PCL-XL), as well as proprietary PDLs. They all fall into the category of "intelligent printers", where high-level marking calls are sent to the printer, and the printer renders the page and prints.
The scenarios shown in FIGS. 2(b) and 2(c) are generally referred to as "host-based" printers. The data formats and protocols tend to be customized specifically for the particular printer or other target device. Therefore they tend to be more proprietary, rather than industry standard, although some are more or less similar to or based upon standard page description protocols.
Each of the print models described in FIGS. 2(a)-2(c) is the optimum print model for printing some pages, but is not the optimum model for others. A number of factors determine the optimum model, including:
Generally, the optimum model for a given document will print with the highest quality in the least amount of time. In some situations, for example when printing over a network and utilizing communications resources which are shared with other people, the user may want to minimize the amount of data to transfer, even if it results in slower print time.
Within a document, the optimum printing strategy may change for different parts of the document, for example from one page to another, or even from one part of a page to another part of the page.
However, prior art printing methods do not have the ability to use different printing models for printing different kinds of data. This has several negative consequences.
It can frequently result in slower printing. Following are two examples.
A very complex document will often generate a very large PDL data stream. Printers that use the model shown in FIG. 2(a) send a very large amount of data to the printer, which may then need to be rasterized by a relatively slow processor (since printer processors are frequently slower than host PC processors). On the other hand, the models shown in FIGS. 2(b) or 2(c) could use the faster host PC processor to break down the high-level marking calls, and then have less data to transfer to the printer.
A simple document, for example pages of text, will generate a small PDL data stream. For printing using the model of FIG. 2(a), the processor in the printer is fast enough to rasterize and print within the minimum time required by the engine to print the page. For example, a 4 pages-per-minute (ppm) print engine requires a minimum of 15 seconds to print each page. Shorter rasterization time will not result in faster printing. On the other hand, printing using the model of FIG. 2(c) will result in a large amount of raster data to transfer from the host to the printer, which will increase the data transfer time, and therefore increase the time required to print the page.
In some cases, the host or printer (more commonly the printer) will not have sufficient resources (for example, RAM) to process and print a complex page at full resolution. When this occurs, a process called "lossy compression" is frequently employed. In this process some data is discarded, and print quality is thereby degraded, in order to print the page. By selecting the model that utilizes available resources most effectively, quality degradation can be avoided.
Ideally, processing should be distributed so as to utilize both printer and host resources in an optimal way. Even if both printer and host are capable of processing and printing with highest quality at maximum engine speed, the preferred model is to use the printer resources as much as possible, in order to free the host resources so they are available to the user for other purposes. Traditional printing methods are not capable of varying the distribution of processing in order to achieve the optimum balance for different documents.
In order to address the problems which result using prior art techniques, the invention (a) analyzes the data to be printed, as well as the capabilities, characteristics, and resources available in each of the three above-noted steps (i.e, initial processing done on the "host" system (step 1), transferring the data stream to the printer over a communications link (step 2), and receiving the data and performing additional processing as required to deliver the data to the print engine for printing step 3)); and (b) distributes the processing in an optimal way between the host (step #1) and the printer (step #3) so as to best achieve the desired result. In many cases, by moving processing to the host or to the printer, a page can be processed and printed faster. In some cases, higher print quality can be attained by taking advantage of additional resources that are available on one side or the other. In some cases, for example when printing over a network, minimizing the amount of data to transfer may be an important goal. The invention distributes the processing in order to achieve one or more of these goals.
The invention has two significant advances over the prior art:
A single printer driver is capable of printing in any of the printing models shown in FIGS. 2(a)-2(c).
The printer driver is able to analyze data in real time as a page is being printed and auto-detect which is the optimum model.
The printer driver contains algorithms and modules which allow it to output any of the data formats: PDL, intermediate form, or device-ready pixels. This allows it to perform as much processing as necessary in the host, and as much as necessary on the printer.
A printer does not need to support all of the printing models in order to benefit from the invention. There are two reasons for this.
All data formats contain commands to deliver rasters (device-ready pixels). If the driver determines that a page should be rasterized on the host, it can do the entire rasterization and then send it to the printer using existing PDL commands or existing "intermediate form" commands. Therefore any printer that supports either PDL or intermediate form also supports rasters, and can benefit by selection of optimum data format.
The driver is capable of limiting itself to whichever formats the printer accepts. This can be (a) PDL and rasters, (b) intermediate form and rasters, or (c) PDL, intermediate form, and rasters.
The printer driver is capable of switching between formats on a page by page basis. For example if the first page of a document is complex and processing-intensive, and the second page is a simple page of text, the driver can rasterize the first page and send it as device-ready pixels, and send the second page in high-level PDL.
Because all PDLs contain commands to print device-ready rasters, the invention has application and benefit to all printers that support a PDL data stream, regardless of which PDL they support.
Since the driver is capable of generating all data formats, but restricts itself to ones that are supported by the printer, the invention allows the printer driver to modify its behavior as the configuration of the printer is changed. For example, the user can add additional RAM for the printer, allowing more processing to take place in the printer without reduction in speed or quality. Or an additional ROM module can be added to the printer which supports an additional print model, giving the driver additional options in distributing the processing.
The driver provides a user interface that allows the user to specify how the driver should select the print model. As a result, the user can:
have the driver automatically select the optimum model based upon print speed and quality
specify a particular criteria for which to optimize (for example, minimize data transfer size)
select a print model to use.
The driver uses two general mechanisms to analyze the data:
Prior to generating the data stream it "pre-scans" the data that is going to be printed. Based on a variety of metrics, it calculates page complexity and resource requirements to print the page.
It examines the output at the conclusion of each stage of printing. Based upon the quantity of data, it can decide to do further processing or send to the printer. For example, if the driver has generated a PDL data stream that is larger than a full-page raster would be, it would probably want to process that to a raster. This would (a) take advantage of the faster host processor, and (b) reduce the amount of data that needs to be send to the printer.
An additional feature of the invention is that it is capable of incorporating the identical modules into the printer driver which execute in the printer. This allows it to generate identical output on the page, dot for dot, regardless of which printing model is used. Traditional printing architectures do not share modules between the host and printer, and therefore will show differences on the printed page, depending on where the processing occurs. The differences can manifest in halftoning, shading, color correction algorithms, edge smoothing, positioning, character rendering, or numerous other minor and major variations. It is not essential to the invention that modules are shared and identical output is generated regardless of what processing takes place where, since some differences may be acceptable, as long as they are both reasonable representations of what is being printed. However the preferred embodiment of the invention includes the ability to seamlessly and transparently move processing between the printer driver and the host without producing any change in the printed output.
There are three aspects of the operation of the invention:
1. Establishment of Selection Criteria
The user is provided an interface to tell the driver how to select a print model. The interface contains several possible selection criteria as follows:
"Automatic" Mode
The user selects this mode to let the driver choose what it thinks is the best printing model. In this case the driver's highest priority in making the selection is print quality. Any resource shortage (typically in the printer) that would result in loss of data and degraded quality causes processing to move to the other side (typically to the host). Note that as long as the printer (or host) contains enough memory to store an uncompressed full-page image in memory, then image degradation is not a possibility.
The driver's second priority is print speed. Using the analysis methodologies described below, the driver chooses the printing model that will make the page print the fastest. The two primary influences on print time are (1) relative processing speed between host and printer, and (2) data transfer time. In general, the processor in the host will be faster than the processor in the printer, so this consideration will typically favor moving more processing to the host. It should be noted that this is not necessarily the case, but it will generally be the case for the class of devices with which the invention is typically used. However, in many cases PDL is the most compact representation of a printed page, and therefore additional processing in the host will increase the data that needs to be transferred, and therefore reduce print speed. Therefore the driver needs to weigh these considerations and make as good an estimate as possible as to the printing time required for the various print models.
If print quality and speed are equal under different models, then the driver will favor moving as much processing as possible to the printer. A page cannot print any faster than print engine speed, so many pages will not print faster even by using the faster processor and additional RAM on the host. The user has many uses for the host processor other than printing (executing other applications, such as word processing, etc.) but printer resources have no use other than printing. Therefore, all else being equal, processing is moved to the printer.
Optimize for Data Size Mode
One particular scenario that users may select is to minimize the amount of data that will be transferred from host to printer. In network printing this is often an important consideration. This option will choose the data format to optimize for this condition, even though it may result in slower printing or lowered print quality (not likely but possible).
In some implementations, optimizing for data size might be given a higher priority in "Auto" selection mode, depending on the primary intended use of the printing device. For printers which are primarily intended as shared network devices, minimizing network traffic is often given a higher priority than for non-networked devices.
Explicit Selection of a Print Model Mode
The user is given the option of explicitly selecting one of the print models. This could be useful for various reasons, for example: (i) the driver's predictions will never be 100% accurate, so the user is given the opportunity to substitute his own selection, or (ii) the user might want to use the driver with a printing device other than the one for which the driver was designed, which only accepts a particular data format.
In principle the user could be allowed to select for other optimization criteria (for example, make speed the primary consideration).
2. Data Analysis Methodologies
A large number of factors can theoretically influence the print time, resource requirements, and print quality for a particular page or document. These include:
The large number of variables, the complexity of some of these factors, and the indeterminacy of others (precise data transfer rate, extraneous processing load on the host) make exact predictions for the various print models impossible. The invention uses two general mechanisms, namely, (i) pre-scanning the data and (ii) examination of data size generated at each stage to evaluate the data and choose the print model.
(i) Pre-scanning the Data
Before beginning to generate the data stream, the driver scans all of the calls being made by the application program. The driver then applies metrics and algorithms (described below) to estimate (a) the processing required to convert PDL to intermediate form, and intermediate form to rasters; and (b) the amount of data that will result at each stage of processing (PDL, intermediate form, rasters). If the amount of data at any stage exceeds the available storage on one side or the other (printer or host), then that particular printing scenario would result in having to "lossy compress" the page (i.e. discard data), and therefore degrade print quality. Typically print quality is given the highest priority in selecting the print model, so that printing scenario would be assigned a low priority.
Based on processing speed and resources available in the host and in the printer, as well as data transfer rate, the driver estimates print time in each of the printing scenarios. The scenario that results in the shortest print time is given the highest priority.
Several methods are used to arrive at expected data transfer rate. They include a combination of (a) observed rates during actual data transfers; (b) parameters entered by the user; (c) "default" estimated transfer rates for different types of communications links.
In the preferred embodiment, the driver uses built-in features of the interface between the operating system and the printer driver to pre-scan the data. It uses a "two-pass" print model for each page. In the first pass, the driver requests all of the marking calls for a page from the operating system. The driver records information about the calls, but does not generate any data stream. At the conclusion of the first pass the driver performs analysis on the gathered information, and makes a decision about the optimum model. It then requests the data again in a second pass, and generates the data stream according to the selected print model.
An alternate implementation would be for the driver to record the calls issued by the operating system to a "spool file" or data base, then perform analysis and generate the data stream from the recorded spool file.
Different metrics and algorithms are used for different kinds of marking calls. There are essentially three different kinds of objects which are drawn: bitmaps, graphics, and text.
A bitmap is a bit image that needs to be replicated on the target device. The primary determinants for the amount of processing required by a bitmap involve:
Details about how these functions are carried out are not needed for an understanding of the present invention. The invention only requires an estimate of the processing and resource requirements imposed by each of these factors.
A graphics call is an operation to draw a shape, such as a circle or a polygon. Graphics calls are generally short, compact instructions. Important considerations for graphics calls relative to the invention include:
Computations performed for text include the following:
For each of the three kinds of drawing calls, the driver makes calculations about the processing requirements and data sizes and selects print model based on these calculations.
(ii) Examination of Data Size Generated at Each Stage
The first mechanism (pre-scanning) attempts to predict the processing requirements for what will follow. The second mechanism looks at the output at each of the first two stages (PDL, intermediate form) and makes a decision based on size of the data. For example, if (a) the size of PDL output is larger than it would be to send a fully rasterized page image, and (b) there is a faster processor and more RAM in the host than in the printer, then the driver would choose to rasterize in the host. This would reduce print time in two ways: (1) it would reduce the amount of data to be transferred, and (2) it would utilize the faster host processor, rather than the slower printer processor, to do the rasterization.
The driver can incrementally generate and process the data through each of the three processing stages (PDL, intermediate form, rasters). This implementation, including data transformations and decision points, is illustrated in FIG. 3.
In this
This contrasts with another possible implementation, where the print model is selected and immediately generated in that form. That implementation would need to rely exclusively on a priori knowledge about the data stream, without benefit of ex post facto analysis.
Both of these analysis methodologies (pre-scanning and data size analysis) are utilized on a page by page basis. This allows the driver to switch print models for each page, according to the data on the page and the optimal printing strategy for that page. Alternate implementations could allow different strategies to be used for different parts of each page. The page could be broken down into pre-defined rectangular areas (called "bands"), or discrete objects on the page.
Following is a description of the algorithm used by the driver to decide which printing strategy to use.
1. Performance
With respect to performance, the overall strategy is to calculate the printing time required in each of the three models and select the model that results in the fastest printing.
The first decision is whether the driver should send PDL to the printer or should process the PDL to intermediate form before sending. In both of these imaging models, printing time will be the sum of the following:
1. Processing time required to convert PDL to intermediate form
2. Transmission time to send data from the host to the printer.
Each of these will be different in the two imaging models.
A "page complexity index" is calculated, estimating the magnitude of processing required for the data on the page. The estimate takes into consideration (a) the amount of raw data that needs to be processed (irrespective of complexity), and (b) specific events that have been identified through analysis that induce a particularly heavy processing requirement. The "page complexity index" is a computed by adding the following factors.
A. Raw data size
B. Amount of bitmap data needing to be scaled
C. Amount of bitmap data needing to be halftoned.
D. Amount of bitmap data requiring color correction
E. Number of graphics drawing commands
F. Number of pixels touched by the graphics calls
G. Number of continuous (scan)line segments created by bitmap and graphics calls
H. Computational complexity of graphics calls
I. Number of characters requiring rasterization
J. Size of characters requiring rasterization
All of these are normalized according to predetermined scales and metrics in order to generate the complexity index. For (C) (halftoning), different weighting factors are used for different halftone types. The predetermined scales and metrics needed to perform such normalization would be determined based upon the specifics of the hardware used to implement the host and the printer. In general, for each of the items A-J, a threshold is selected based on experience with the particular printer/host combination or printer/host combination with similar characteristics. If a page exceeds the threshold on any one of the A-J items then processing will be done on the host. Once a table of pre-determined thresholds for a known PC/printer configuration is obtained (that is, a test configuration), such thresholds may be adjusted up or down based on the particular PC/printer configuration that the user is running. So, for example, if the test system is a 100 mhz PC/50 MHz printer, and the user is running a 200 mhz PC/50 MHz printer, then the thresholds get cut in half. It has been determined that factor A (raw data size), gives the correct prediction about 95% of the time in a particular configuration. It is anticipated that as to the 5% of files for which the prediction was not correct, it is likely that they all are complex according to at least one of the B-J metrics.
Thus, to summarize, a calculation is made of processing time required on both host and printer. The calculation is made based on the processing speed of the host processor (detected in real-time by the driver) and the processing speed of the printer. The processing speed of the printer is built into the driver if the driver is intended for a single printer. If the driver is intended to control more than one kind of printer, processing speed might be communicated to the driver using the bi-directional communications channel, or set by the user through a configuration parameter.
The next calculation is transmission time required to send the data stream from the host to the printer. This is calculated for each printing model from the data size and data transfer rate. PDL data size is known. Intermediate form data size is estimated based on observed relationships between the size of PDL and the size of intermediate form. Full-page raster data size is estimated based on the observed size of a compressed full-page raster.
Data transmission rate is estimated based on one of the following:
A) Estimated transfer rate for the class of I/O device
B) Transfer rate observed in real-time by the driver on previous print jobs
C) A user-selected setting.
Based upon these factors, total printing time can be estimated for each of the three models. Note that:
1. The driver would not necessarily choose the model that results in the shortest print time. Regardless of page complexity (or lack thereof), no page can print faster than the rated speed of the engine. Therefore if a page can print at maximum speed by processing in the printer then this path is taken, even if it would be processed faster on the host. This makes best use of printer resources, which are not useful for any other purpose, and frees host resources for other tasks when possible.
2. These calculations result in estimates of printing time in each model, not precise calculations. Fortunately, this is sufficient. They will tend to make the most correct predictions in cases where one model or another will print significantly better than the others will. For example very complex pages will have a great deal of data to be processed, which will trigger the correct choice, and very simple pages will have little data, also triggering the correct choice. The difficult predictions will be in the cases where the printing models result in the most similar results, which are the least important to predict accurately. In addition, it is possible to select crossover points that favor the more "conservative" printing strategy, where "conservative" means the strategy used by competing printers in the same class. For example, if a printer is competing against other PDL-based printers, then the decision points can be weighted to choose PDL in ambiguous cases, so that it will not do worse than competing printers in these cases. It may be preferable to sacrifice performance gains in some cases in order to retain competitive performance in others.
The second decision is whether intermediate form should be sent to the printer or processed to rasters before sending. This is a simpler decision than the PDL/intermediate form choice. It turns out that the time required to render from intermediate form to rasters does not effect the printing time. This is because when rendering is performed on the host, the page can almost always be rendered faster than the data can be sent. Therefore the rendering time does not increase total printing time. When rendering is performed on the printer it is not a factor because the intermediate form is rendered in real-time as the page prints by a graphics co-processor, and therefore again does not gate printing speed.
Therefore, the choice between sending intermediate form and rasters is based on the amount of data that needs to be sent in each case, which determines the data transmission time. Less data to send results in faster transmission, and quicker printing. Data size of intermediate form is evaluated twice. First, it is estimated before the conversion from PDL to intermediate form, based on observed relationships between the size of PDL and the size of intermediate form. Second, if the first decision is to convert PDL to intermediate form, then the data size of intermediate form is examined after this has been completed. Data size of the rendered page is estimated based on the observed average size of a compressed full-page raster. These data sizes feed into the calculations for printing time under each of three printing models, which dictate the choice of the optimal printing strategy.
2. Quality
The data analysis also considers cases where print quality might be better when printing in one model or another. This will occur when the translation from PDL to intermediate form requires more memory than is available on one side or the other. Typically the host will have more memory than the printer, so this applies primarily to low printer resources. This is determined based on the factors listed above in the "page complexity index" calculation, and one additional consideration, which is the amount of memory work space required by the software. When the total memory requirement exceeds available memory on the printer, and print quality is a high priority in selecting print model, then one of the more host-based printing models is selected.
The disclosed embodiments of the invention select optimum print strategy for every page. Alternatively it could select a different strategy for different parts of each page. Or it could select a strategy for the document as a whole.
Alterations could be made in the definition or selection of criteria for "optimal strategy". In "automatic" mode the criteria could be prioritized differently. Or different selection criteria could be presented to the user.
Improvements and refinements could be made in the algorithms used to select optimum printing strategy.
The invention could be built without containing the entire imaging pipeline on the host. Although the preferred embodiment of the invention processes the data to PDL, then to intermediate form, then to rasters, as described previously, alternatively, the invention could be implemented so as to determine the best format in the pre-scan and generate that format directly.
The preferred embodiment of the invention uses the built-in pre-scanning mechanism in the interface between the printer driver and the operating system. In another alternate embodiment, the invention could be implemented to build its own spool file or data base of the drawing calls that are made, and do analysis on these.
3. Driver Internal Structure and Design
The PDL driver is implemented as a collection of C++ objects. This includes the following object classes that are relevant to the invention:
PDL Interpreter 31, Graphics Services Module 33, Graphics Execution Unit 35
These modules essentially replicate and make available in the host the entire printing pipeline that occurs in the printer in printer-based printing models. This is illustrated in
PDL Interpreter 31—This module reads and parses the PDL data stream and makes appropriate calls into the Graphics Services module.
Graphics Services 33—This module generates an intermediate form of data called on "order list" which can be easily processed by the Graphics Execution Unit to produce rasters.
Graphics Execution Unit 35—This module takes as input the intermediate "order list" and outputs rasters. It can be a software module or a hardware device specifically designed for this purpose.
The internal structure and operation of these modules is not needed for an understanding of the present invention. Elements of these modules are described in detail in U.S. Pat. No. 5,502,804.

I voted Jerik. His work never ceases to amaze me and the effect created by the greyscale and green ooze works wonders. Well done to everyone else aswel this one was hard to decide due to all the amazing entrys.
July 27th, 2009 #3
very nice entry's, oh, and jerik, your painting is good but why does every little thinkg has a rimlight on it? kinda ruins it, you do this alot
edit to jerik: the rimlight would (i think) only be the case to metal objects
-the source of energy-
July 27th, 2009 #4
I find Jerik's mine to be the best. It's stylish and pleasant to watch.
July 27th, 2009 #5
Quatronics, don't forget the rocks probably contain ore if its a mine and therefore will be more of a smoother clay type not only this they may be wet. this causes a rimlight. Just a suggestion lol.

i vote for pijus, a nice piece there
the sky could use some subtle cold colors to create more contrast but it still works
July 28th, 2009 #8
At first I had planned on voting for Pokepetter. Definitely my second favorite out of them all. But I went with imadolphin's. There's a great storybook feel to it.
If you have the time, please stop by my sketchbook, Chock Full o'Nuts.
I would appreciate any advice or critiques.
July 28th, 2009 #9
went for Imadolphin....
going by previous comments... the rimlight is unrealistic and textures could be with a higher detail... but it looks so pretty i don't really care!

I voted Derick. It was hard to decide, but I chose it over Arbinn's primarily because I'm more of a fan of Derick's art style. Arbinn, and everyone else, you still did good and your art is equally fantastic.

Welcome to the Young Owls Leadership Program (YOLP) at Rice University! Our mission is to prepare rising high school students as both leaders in their communities and competitive applicants to top-tier colleges and universities. YOLP is a weeklong program that guides students through the college application process while also teaching them leadership skills and concepts. Students also get a taste of life at college by staying overnight at Rice University for the duration of the program. YOLP is partnered with Houston ISD's EMERGE program and currently accepts rising high school sophomores from that program. If you are interested in participating be sure to apply to the EMERGE fellowship here.
"Though we come into the program alone we leave with possibly life long friends and mentors who are willing to go with us and guide us every step of the way to college, through college, and even after college."

MOSCOW: A Russian businessman who didn't want to split his wealth with his wife ended up paying a higher price after being taken for a ride by five fake hit men and being arrested by police.
A Moscow court confirmed Friday that Konstantin Monastyrsky, 47, was sentenced to eight and a half years for attempting to have his wife killed.
According to the daily Moskovsky Komsomolets, Monastyrsky said his wife was an alcoholic, but that he didn't want to divorce her as she would get half of his property.
Instead Monastyrsky decided to have her bumped off, and found a man who presented himself as a hired hitman and took an advance of 200,000 rubles ($5,550) to do the job.
But when nothing happened Monastyrsky pressured the supposed hitman, who turned out to be an alcoholic who had drank the advance.
The fraudster turned to the police, who in turn contacted the wife and staged a fake assassination scene.
The fake hitman sent a picture of his supposed victim to Monastyrsky, who was arrested by police when paying off the remaining 500,000 rubles for the job.
Monastyrsky told police it was already his fifth attempt to have his wife assassinated, but each time he was taken for between of between 100,000 and 500,000 rubles.
"Everywhere I am being ripped off, even here!" Monastyrsky said upon his arrest, according to the newspaper.
The wife ended with control of all of her husband's property, it added.

I know...........There has probably been 1000 views on this thread already yet just a few signatures.
I cannot express the impact this would have on our ability to ride and the places open for riding. If this is put into place it will be the begining of the end. Motorcycle riding as we know it will change drastically and I fear it will lead to mass closures of public land, I think our future will look very much like
and the only places to ride will be mostly private.
Next they will go after the Swell (which they have tried already) and then it will spread into
, New Mexico etc as Wilderness designations.
The best way I can see to stop this is banning together. Everyone, and that means EVERYONE, has to sign the letter that will be sent to President Obama asking to keep this area open.
Sign here
The basis for any support this movement had was enlisting all the business sponsors. The sole reason they have any legitimacy is that they have 100 well known businesses saying they support this. If we take away the support from the businesses what weight does the proposal have???? NONE.
The best way I can see to do this is with the petition pledging to boycott all the business and explaining what a National Monument Proposal really means when it is sent to them.
I have set up a petition to do just that. Please sign it pledging to not support any businesses that are actively trying to take our lifestyle, and in some cases our livelihood, away.
Sign here
So please place your name on the letter to President Obama
and sign the petition pledging to boycott all the supporting businesses

Energize Evansville set for state hospital grounds
The first of monthly "Energize Evansville" fitness events will be held next weekend at the State Hospital grounds on Evansville's East Side. And other exercise-related events and initiatives are coming soon, Mayor Lloyd Winnecke announced Friday at the second part of his quarterly Health Summit held at Innovation Pointe.
Coordinated by the Evansville Parks and Recreations Department, the first "Energize Evansville" event will be held in collaboration with a charity exercise fundraiser at 9 a.m. Saturday, May 19.
"What we're trying to do is create a destination for exercise in our parks," said Winnecke after the meeting, which was attended by about 15 officials representing agencies from United Way to Deaconess Hospital.
"We just think it would elevate the community's overall health and fitness awareness," Winnecke said.
Along with Winnecke's workout video released last month and a newly-formed "Speakers Bureau," Energize Evansville is part of the mayor's three-pronged initiative to encourage exercise and healthy living among residents.
Parks Director Denise Johnson said the event will piggyback on Custom Fit Personal Training's third annual "Push-ups for Charity." Besides push-up sessions, yoga, Zumba and "paloxi" (a Pilates and boxing mix) activities also will be available.
"There aren't going to be any intense instructional sessions," said Johnson. "Just a lot of variety and fun."
Energize Evansville events will be held each month at different locations and with themes ranging from boot-camp-themed workouts to tennis matches.
Winnecke's office launched these initiatives this year in response to a March 2011 Gallup poll that designated Evansville as the nation's most-obese city.
Winnecke said he noticed groups and organizations were already doing things to promote fitness and health, but there didn't appear to be much collaboration or knowledge of each others' events.
So he called the first Health Summit in February, and about 35 people attended.
"Now you're hearing about partnerships between organizations that maybe didn't exist before," Winnecke said.
Here are some other events and initiatives announced at Friday's round-table:
n Evansville Streets Alive! — A new festival promoting physical activity and healthy eating. Hosted by Healthier Evansville and the Evansville-area Trails Coalition, the event will see about 1.2 miles of Fulton Avenue closed (between Maryland Street and Diamond Avenue) from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. June 23. Health and fitness agencies will be leading some activities, and healthy food vendors will be present.
n Angel Mounds upgrade — Friends of Angel Mounds, Inc., is spearheading an effort create a fitness trail at the Native American historic site. The 3K, 2K and 1K interlocking, elevated grass trails would wind between mounds, wooded areas and open land. Dirt is needed for the project, and County Garage Superintendent Mike Duckworth said he's going to ask city, county and state officials for help in transferring dirt from Glenwood School to the site.
n Fresh produce on Main Street — Downtown restaurant Twilight Bistro will be adding "and Market" to its name when it begins selling fresh produce beginning Tuesday. Owner Joe Anglin said the roster will include fruit and vegetables, and maybe even milk, yogurt and ice cream. "It's like a diversification for us," Anglin said.
Winnecke said the recently established "Speakers Bureau" is made up of 46 people from various fitness backgrounds who have volunteered to speak at a group's request.
"If you're the head of East Side Kiwanis and you want a speaker on fitness," said Winnecke, "Just call the mayor's office, we'll get you somebody."
Mayor Winnecke's workout video — viewable atyoutube.com/user/LloydWinnecke — was released in mid-April and features Winnecke and a few dozen others doing exercises to the song "Go Chicken Fat, Go," performed by Robert Preston.

To celebrate the history and significant partnership of the two brands and to recognise the quality and wearability of wool, Sportscraft and the Australian Wool Institute have joined forces with a campaign that recognises 'a partnership woven together'...
This most recent campaign brings together iconic Australian brands and showcases the collaboration in 15 Myer stores and 30 Sportscraft stores nationally. The Myer windows have been transformed with the latest Sportscraft Winter 12 campaign and fine Merino Wool supplied by Woolmark.
The hero of the execution is the seasons' premium quality wool collection, a timeless collection of classics in this season's range of vibrant jewel tones and modern styles.
Achieving the Woolmark license gives a unique worldwide quality endorsement. Woolmark licensed garments have met a range of criteria, and this gives customers an independent and assured quality endorsement.
In addition to this, Sportscraft are bringing their wool product to the heartland of Australia at this year's Royal Easter Show in Sydney. Showcased in the wool fashion parades will be a range of key winter wool looks and then guests will be able to visit the pop up store on site and purchase items they have seen on the catwalk.
"We and thrilled about our ongoing partnership with Woolmark and the significance of this historic partnership to our brands. Sportscraft have been leaders in Australian style since 1914 and quality and heritage are what the business is built upon. This partnership strengthens these key pillars and is a perfect fit for the Sportscraft brand" says Tina Van Zyl, General Manager of Sportscraft.

Alabama at #1 had a slow start to the year but lately they have been playing like a number one team. They had no trouble with Tennessee in a 45-10 win. Both offensively and defensively the Crimson Tide looks good. Florida State jumped to Number 2 after last week's impressive win on the road against Clemson and they look like a number two beating North Carolina State 40-17.

A limited edition signed by one of the most prolific musicians in heavy metal history!
A Dave Mustaine V USA Limited Signature Electric Guitar from Dean Guitars. Though that might say it all, you should also know that this beast comes loaded with screaming Dave Mustaine Live Wire USA custom active humbucker pickups, and Dunlop flush mount strap locks. With its beveled edges, this V really looks like it can fly. Mustaine remarks that this guitar's neck is even better than what he has played before, and that the deluxe inlays, which are like a dot/sharktooth combo, are remarkable. A heavily flamed maple top and gold hardware will cause you to have to remind yourself not to drool — unless that's part of your stage show, of course.
Only 150 of this extremely limited edition will be produced worldwide. Each will be signed by Dave Mustaine himself. Lots of exclusive goodies are included!
Create your own Symphony of Destruction! Order today before they're gone!

Hello and welcome to my first effort at an ongoing FanFic, and tbh one of my first ever attempts at writing fiction. A few things you should know before we start out
1) There will be adult themes going on here (death, sex etc).
2) This is set in Hoenn, about 30 years after Emerald
3) My grammar is poor, and my overall English is much better. I am working on this, but any pointers gratefully received.
I would also like to apologise for the info dump that is the Prologue. I could have spread it out over a number of Chapters, but I wanted you to understand something about Samuel Olive (the main character) right from the start.
Anyway enough about that - on with the show!
