This application is a Divisional of application Ser. No. 09/019,800 filed Feb. 6, 1998, now U.S. Pat. No. 6,147,684.
This application is related to U.S. patent application Ser. No. 08/932,239 filed Sep. 17, 1997 entitled "INVISIBLE AND ONE PIXEL SCROLL BARS" by Jakob Nielsen which is hereby incorporated by reference herein in its entirety.
1. Field of the Invention
The invention relates to computer systems and software and, more particularly, to a graphical user interface for navigating through multiple overlapping window layers and especially through multiple overlapping translucent window layers.
2. Description of Related Art
User interfaces are known which permit windows to overlap. Users can navigate among window layers in various ways such as clicking on an edge of a partially hidden window, using a menu command to cycle through window layers and using drop down menus to bring windows to the front. Typically, in order to be able to click on an exposed edge of a window, windows are arranged in an overlapping tile arrangement so that a window can be brought forward by positioning a cursor controlled by a mouse over an edge of the window visible in the tiling arrangement and then clicking the mouse.
The Problems
Software applications are becoming more complex, but at the same time, specialized computer devices are becoming smaller. These trends combine to create a problem, namely not enough screen real estate. This problem is relevant not only to the hand held interactive technologies, but also for any technology that uses a visual display of limited size, such as a cellular telephone, a digital watch or a web kiosk, for example.
The related patent application explained the concept of using one overlapping translucent layer in a user interface. However, a need arises for navigating through one or more translucent layers or through numerous overlapping layers in order to access functionality available only on specific layers.
In certain applications, such as geophysical mapping, it is highly desirable to represent multiple image planes of information simultaneously to a user. At the same time, it is desirable to be able to access and view the individual image planes.
The prior art techniques described above each have their disadvantages. If windows are tiled, screen real estate is consumed unnecessarily. If a menu command is utilized, multiple steps are required to be able to access the menu and then cycle through the layers.
The invention relates to methods, apparatus, systems and computer program products which allow for navigation through overlapping layers of a user interface and particularly to the navigation through one or more translucent layers. In one embodiment, a cursor is located over a non-reactive portion of a window layer and a mouse click or some other command moves the top window layer to the bottom of the stack of overlapping windows. In a second embodiment, while a cycle function is activated, such as by holding a mouse button down, cycling to the next window layer occurs at a rate which increases the longer the mouse button is held down. In this way, the number of layers per second through which a graphical user interface navigates accelerates while the mouse button is down. A user has the ability to set both the rate of acceleration and a maximum instantaneous speed of cycling through layers.
In another embodiment, window layers are given a property analogous to "thickness." At least one of the time required or the force required to navigate through a thick layer is more than that required to navigate through a thin layer. In a preferred form of the invention, each layer is treated as a membrane which has an appearance of being distorted as the user attempts to punch through to a layer underneath the top membrane layer. In some embodiments, a sound accompanies the penetration of membrane layers with the property of the sound changing as the break point for the membrane approaches. In some forms of the invention, tactile feedback experienced by a user as the user penetrates a membrane layer changes as well. In another embodiment of the invention, worm holes are provided at various locations in the uppermost layer to permit quick access to various layers of a multilayer stack which are below the uppermost layer. In another form of the invention, the penetration time for a particular membrane layer is adjusted as a function of both the force applied by a user and the thickness property of that membrane layer.

The detailed descriptions which follow may be presented in terms of program procedures executed on a computer or network of computers. These procedural descriptions and representations are the means used by those skilled in the art to most effectively convey the substance of their work to others skilled in the art.
A procedure is here, and generally, conceived to be a self-consistent sequence of steps leading to a desired result. These steps are those requiring physical manipulations of physical quantities. Usually, though not necessarily, these quantities take the form of electrical or magnetic signals capable of being stored, transferred, combined, compared, and otherwise manipulated. It proves convenient at times, principally for reasons of common usage, to refer to these signals as bits, values, elements, symbols, characters, terms, numbers, or the like. It should be noted, however, that all of these and similar terms are to be associated with the appropriate physical quantities and are merely convenient labels applied to these quantities.
Further, the manipulations performed are often referred to in terms, such as adding or comparing, which are commonly associated with mental operations performed by a human operator. No such capability of a human operator is necessary, or desirable in most cases, in any of the operations described herein which form part of the present invention; the operations are machine operations. Useful machines for performing the operation of the present invention include general purpose digital computers or similar devices.
The present invention also relates to apparatus for performing these operations. This apparatus may be specially constructed for the required purpose or it may comprise a general purpose computer as selectively activated or reconfigured by a computer program stored in the computer. The procedures presented herein are not inherently related to a particular computer or other apparatus. Various general purpose machines may be used with programs written in accordance with the teachings herein, or it may prove more convenient to construct more specialized apparatus to perform the required method steps. The required structure for a variety of these machines will appear from the description given.
FIG. 1A illustrates a computer of a type suitable for carrying out the invention. Viewed externally in FIG. 1A, a computer system has a central processing unit 100 having disk drives 110A and 110B. Disk drive indications 110A and 110B are merely symbolic of a number of disk drives which might be accommodated by the computer system. Typically, these would include a floppy disk drive such as 110A, a hard disk drive (not shown externally) and a CD ROM drive indicated by slot 110B. The number and type of drives varies, typically, with different computer configurations. The computer has the display 120 upon which information is displayed. A keyboard 130 and a mouse 140 are typically also available as input devices. Preferably, the computer illustrated in FIG. 1A is a SPARC workstation from Sun Microsystems, Inc.
FIG. 1B illustrates a block diagram of the internal hardware of the computer of FIG. 1A. A bus 150 serves as the main information highway interconnecting the other components of the computer. CPU 155 is the central processing unit of the system, performing calculations and logic operations required to execute programs. Read only memory (160) and random access memory (165) constitute the main memory of the computer. Disk controller 170 interfaces one or more disk drives to the system bus 150. These disk drives may be floppy disk drives, such as 173, internal or external hard drives, such as 172, or CD ROM or DVD (Digital Video Disks) drives such as 171. A display interface 125 interfaces a display 120 and permits information from the bus to be viewed on the display. Communications with external devices can occur over communications port 175. A tactile feedback input/output device 180 is interfaced to bus 150 over a tactile feedback interface 179.
FIG. 1C illustrates an exemplary memory medium which can be used with drives such as 173 in FIG. 1B or 110A in FIG. 1A. Typically, memory media such as a floppy disk, or a CD ROM, or a Digital Video Disk will contain the program information for controlling the computer to enable the computer to perform its functions in accordance with the invention. Program and data information from such media may be transmitted, in accordance with the invention, over a transmission link in the form of a carrier wave.
FIG. 1D illustrates the use of computers of the type shown in FIGS. 1A and 1B in a network environment. Such computers can be used as user computers (194, 189) or as servers (187), sometimes with nominal differences of configuration. A user computer may connect to the network 185 either directly (189) or via a network service provider, such as an internet service provider 190. Program and data information used in carrying out the invention can be transmitted as a carrier wave over the network(s).
FIG. 1E is a front view of a portable device in which embodiments of the invention may be usefully employed. Device 196 may take the form of any number of consumer devices such as, for example, a watch, a calculator, a portable phone or a personal digital assistant. Common to each of these is a screen area 197 having a limited size. A variety of keys, such as 198, are commonly provided to input data. In lieu of or in addition to such keys, a stylus is sometimes utilized when the display screen 197 is pressure sensitive. When utilized with this type of device, one of the keys 198 may be utilized to initiate cycling through layers or alternatively, a stylus, touch pad or touch sensitive screen can be utilized in a way analogous to a cursor controlled by a mouse for activating navigation through plural overlapped window layers.
FIG. 2 is a flow chart of a high level exemplary process for carrying out the invention. At a high level, a user readies the window cycling mechanism (200) such as by moving a cursor over a non-reactive portion of the window layer being displayed. The actual cycling of the window layers or image planes occurs (210) in a number of different ways, illustrated in exemplary fashion in conjunction with FIGS. 3, 4, 7 and 12.
FIG. 3 is a flow chart of an exemplary process for cycling through overlapping window layers in accordance with one embodiment of the invention. This may be the simplest form of implementing the invention. When the cursor is positioned over a non-reactive portion of the screen, namely a portion of the screen which would otherwise not invoke functionality, a mouse click or other command will be interpreted as a request to move the top window to the bottom and display and activate the next layer down in a stack of multiple superimposed window layers or image planes (310) in order to access functionality of that layer.
FIG. 4 is a flow chart of an exemplary process for cycling through overlapping window layers in accordance with a second embodiment of the invention. This particular process is useful when there are large number of stacked window layers or image planes. While a mouse button is held down (400), cycling to the next window layer will occur (410). A certain amount of delay (420) is useful in giving a user time to identify that the user has reached a layer which is desired. However, one may optionally adjust the wait time Ti (430) so that the longer the mouse button is held down, the faster the recycling time will be. This permits the process of cycling through window layers to accelerate as a function of how long the mouse button is held down to permit rapid movement through a large number of otherwise irrelevant window layers.
FIG. 5 is a graph with exemplary members of a family of curves useful in explaining how a user or process may adjust cycling time for sequencing through overlapping window layers as well as controlling a rate of acceleration of cycling time. The layers per minute shown in the ordinate of this graph, is a function of both a user set parameter K as well as a function of a variable T which is a measure of amount of time that, in the example shown, the mouse button is held down. In other words:
In the example above, the function of KT may be KT2. If a user were to set a rate of acceleration to follow curve 500, a number of layers per minute would start out very slowly. But, the longer the mouse was held down, the number of layers per minute would increase along the curve 500 until some maximum value was reached. By selecting different members of the family of curves, by setting a value for the parameter K, a user can control the rate of acceleration to fit a user preference. This particular graph shows a continuous function for layers per minute. However, discreet functions may also be used. As shown in FIG. 4, each time a window is cycled, one may wish to adjust the time increment of the delay (430) by subtracting a discrete amount from the delay time Ti. This effectively results in a sequence of discrete delay increments which follow a curve such as those shown in FIG. 5 with the particular curve followed being a function of the value of the parameter K set by the user.
FIG. 6 is an illustration of multiple overlapping window layers or image planes with some window layers having a different "thickness" property. This is illustrated in FIG. 6 where window layers or image planes 600 and 630 are illustrated as having a greater "thickness" than window layers 610 and 620. This thickness is metaphorical. Image planes and window layers don't have "thickness" in any physical sense. However, by attributing a property to a window or image plane which is analogous to "thickness" several beneficial results can be achieved. First, as a matter of navigation, one can set the amount of time needed to pass through a window layer or image plane of a stack to a lower level to be a function of the "thickness" property. Thus, one may desire to spend more time considering certain image planes before passing to the next one. By attributing a property analogous to "thickness", one can control the delay. Further, as discussed more hereinafter, when using the membrane representation of image planes, the amount of "thickness" may affect the amount of force applied to an input output device in order to pass through an image plane.
FIG. 7 is a flow chart of an exemplary process for cycling through window layers having different "thickness" properties. As shown in FIG. 7, cycling is active, such as when indicated by mouse down (700), the "thickness" property of the topmost layer is determined (720). The time to "pass through" the layer (penetration time) is set as a function of the "thickness" property (720). Thus, certain layers will be emphasized on the screen by being displayed on the screen for a longer period of time prior to cycling to the next window layer. In this way, more important window layers or image planes can be distinguished from less important image planes.
FIG. 8 is an illustration of a side view of two membranes as a top one is deformed to the breaking point, permitting access to a lower membrane. FIG. 8 represents a physical model which serves as a metaphor for implementation of a membrane analog in a graphical user interface. If layer 1 (800) were an elastic membrane positioned parallel with and over a layer 2 (820), and if one were to begin pressing on the upper membrane at a point P, which in one implementation of the metaphor constitutes a cursor location, the membrane would deform as a function of the amount of displacement from the relaxed position to the stretched position. If Tactual represents the deformation point at any particular point in time and Tbreak indicates the point at which the membrane becomes stretched to the point of breaking, then there are a variety of intermediate states through which Tactual passes from the undeformed state to the breaking state. This is analogous to pressing on the surface of a balloon with a pointed object. The surface begins to deform and as pressure is increased the elastic membrane deforms further until a breaking point is reached. At that point, the membrane breaks and, like a balloon popping, one is provided with access to the space beneath the elastic membrane which has broken.
FIGS. 9A, 9B and 9C are each a top view of a membrane under 0, intermediate and maximum deformation prior to breaking, respectively. For purposes of implementing a computerized version of the elastic membrane metaphor, the point 900 represents the cursor location or the point at which pressure is applied to the elastic membrane. For ease and computation, one assumes that there is a maximum radius Rmax (910) beyond which the effect of any deformation at point 900 will not be significant or noticeable. Since this is implemented on a computer screen, the distortions in XY position on the screen resulting from deformation of an elastic membrane are simulated by moving the XY location of pixels toward the point 900 at varying degrees of deformation. In the example shown in FIG. 9A, there is no deformation at all and therefore no pixel displacement. Turning to FIG. 9B, an intermediate deformation is shown. In this example, Tactual is assumed to be half way between no deformation and maximum deformation. If the maximum deformation achieved before breaking were a quarter of an inch, then Tactual in FIG. 9B would be one-eighth of an inch (e.g. displacement of an input/output device along one direction or degree of freedom). All the pixels surrounding point 900 are displaced somewhat in the direction of point 900 as the membrane is deformed in implementing this model. This will give the appearance of stretching a membrane and drawing certain points originally on the unstretched membrane toward the point 900. In the process of making some transformation of this nature, pixels from the immediate neighborhood of point P, that is, pixels within the radius Rmin of a point 900 collapse onto the point itself when implementing this exemplary metaphor. Pixels between Rmin and Rmax are displaced proportionality with less displacement occurring closer to Rmax and more displacement occurring closer to Rmin. Right at the breaking point, the number of pixels within Rmin have a maximum value. This can be a set parameter. Pixels within Rmax but outside of Rmax, are displaced in an amount described hereinafter in the radial direction toward point 900. The values for Rmin and for the displacement of a pixel in between Rmax and Rmin are set forth in equations 2 and 3, respectively.
In these equations, there is a parameter dRmax which is set either by a system or by a user. There are also a value Tbreak and a value of Rmax which are parameters set the same way.
Two examples are now given showing the application of equations 2 and 3 for the calculation of pixel displacements at various distances of Ractual given a certain deformation Tactual. These are as follows: Assuming:
FIG. 10 is a graph showing an exemplary function relating a sound property, such as pitch, or resistance feedback to a user as a function of deformation as a membrane is deformed to the breaking point. It is desirable to provide an audio feedback to a user so the user can get a sense of the progress the deformation is making towards the breaking point. Preferably, this is presented to the user as a tone which rises in pitch from a low value toward a relatively high value until the breaking point Tbreak is reached. Upon the breaking of the membrane, the tone will revert to the low value rather suddenly to provide feedback for the next layer. At the breaking point, preferably the tone at the breaking point is accompanied by a pop sound which indicates that the membrane has broken.
Note that the graph used in FIG. 10 is also appropriate for indicating the magnitude of resistance to user pressure encountered when using a tactile feedback device such as a haptic device which permits motion in three-dimensions, for example in the XY plane of a flat surface such as a table and in a depth direction perpendicular to the XY plane. As the membrane is deformed toward the breaking point (Tbreak), the resistance encountered by the user in pressing on the haptic device increases as it would when pressing upon a normal is membrane. The more you attempt to deform the membrane, the more resistance one encounters up until the membrane breaks. At that point, the resistance experienced by the user is somewhat abruptly reduced to a low value until the user encounters the next membrane for penetration. The breaking of the membrane is accompanied by an animation showing the bursting of the window layer being penetrated.
FIG. 11 illustrates a screen display having worm holes permitting direct access to different layers of a multiple layer stack of windows or image planes. FIG. 11 essentially shows a display screen from which one desires to access a plurality of overlapping layers. Layer 1, the uppermost layer, is shown at item 1110. Q layers are in the stack where Q is greater than N+T. A plurality of worm holes are shown with the worm hole penetrating to a certain layer level. For example, hole 1120 goes directly to layer No. Worm hole 1130 goes directly to layer N+P, worm hole 1140 goes to layer N+Q and so on through hole 1170. In the example shown, the numbers N, P, Q, R, S and T are progressively larger than the preceding number; in other words, each of worm holes 1120 through 1170, in the examples shown, go progressively deeper into the stack plural layers. By creating these worm holes, a user may position a cursor within the hole, click on the cursor and have the layer at the bottom of the hole become the active or topmost layer on the screen. In this way, not unlike an elevator which goes only to floors 45 and above in a skyscraper, one can access certain portions of the stack in an expedited fashion.
FIG. 12 is a flow chart of an exemplary process for using an input/output device which detects an amount of force applied by the user and provides tactile feedback to a user when passing through a membrane layer. While a mouse button is down (1200) or the cycling function is otherwise activated, the thickness of the next layer is determined (1210) and the penetration time associated with a given layer is adapted as a function of both the force applied by the user and the thickness property (1220). The amount of resistance provided to a user through tactile feedback is a function of the thickness property of the layer (1230). Blocks 1240 and 1250 correspond to blocks 730 and 740, respectively of FIG. 7 and are utilized the same way. In this way, a user, by applying more force, can pass through a layer of a given thickness in a faster time by applying more force.
Although the examples shown have been discussed with respect to moving from a topmost layer deeper into a stack of stacked layers, it is also possible to back out from a certain point in a stack of layers. Preferably, this is done by activating a key such as a shift or a function key which will reverse the direction of motion. When going from one layer to a previous layer, all aspects of the animation should be reversed. That is, one would expect the pitch of the sound which accompanies bursting through a layer, as illustrated in FIG. 10, to be reversed so that it runs from the righthand extreme of the Tactual axis back toward the origin. That means that the sound will begin with a low pitch, rise very rapidly to the high pitch the Tbreak point then slowly lower in pitch as the reverse animation goes toward the origin. Even the pop sound can be reversed to provide a distinctive "unpop" sound. Thus, preferably the sounds associated with breaking through a membrane should have direction so that the forward and reverse presentation of those sounds as Tactual changes will be audibly distinct. By the same token, also with respect to FIG. 10, the resistance applied to a haptic device when backing out of a layer previously broken through will be essentially that shown in FIG. 10, however being traversed from the righthand extreme of Tactual toward the origin. Similarly, the pixel transformations associated with the unbreaking of the membrane will start at a displacement value of Tbreak (shown, for example in FIG. 9C), and progress through the intermediate values back through the point where there is no distortion of the membrane, for example as shown in FIG. 9A. In this way, one may traverse both through a series of layers in a forward direction and back out in order to ensure that the layer receiving the most prominents on the screen at a given point in time is one selected by the user.
FIG. 13 is a graph representing a user experience when using a force sensing tactile feedback input/output device when passing through a plurality of window layers or image planes of varying thicknesses. The ordinate in this graph reflects three quantities separately. First, it represents the amount of force feedback. Second the value of the pitch of an audio feedback and third the Z displacement of a haptic device as layers are traversed. In keeping with the multilayer metaphor, as Tactual increases, the user will traverse through a plurality of layers. Layers 1300 and 1320, represented by high peaks on the force feedback scale (which is substantially the same in shape as the curve followed by the pitch of the audio feedback), represent the breaking point for the relatively thick layers. As each layer 1300 and 1320 is broken through, the resistance experienced by user is reduced to a lower value. The plurality of dots shown at 1330 are referenced with respect to a Z displacement. Starting out, prior to traversing any layers, the Z displacement is at some neutral value 1330. As the user breaks through each layer, the haptic device drops a little bit as shown by the successive points 1340 giving the user the feeling of progressing deeper into the multilayer stack. When the user breaks through a layer illustrated by the force peak at 1300, a plurality of subsequent layers 1310 which have a thinner property than layers 1300 and 1320 are encountered. These are broken through with less effort and therefore have less force feedback sent back to the user. The tactile feedback and the accompanying audio feedback can permit a user to navigate through multilayer spaces with great ease and facility and in ways which overcome the problems of the prior art. Thus, a user can quickly identify and bring a desired layer to the foreground for detailed consideration regardless of the number of layers, translucent or otherwise, above it.
Although the present invention has been described and illustrated in detail, it is clearly understood that the same is by way of illustration and example only and is not to be taken by way of limitation, the spirit and scope of the present invention being limited only by the terms of the appended claims and their equivalents.

Sheriff's deputy arrests driver after police chase
Published: Wednesday, July 23, 2008 at 10:48 a.m.
Last Modified: Wednesday, July 23, 2008 at 10:49 a.m.
OCALA An Ocala man who reportedly ran a stop sign went to jail Tuesday afternoon, after leading a sheriffs deputy on a police chase that ended with his being arrested inside a convenience store.
Marion County sheriffs deputies say that, at about 4:30 p.m. Tuesday, Fredrick William Fountain III, 36, drove his white Ford pickup truck through a stop sign at Northeast 63rd Street and Northeast 23rd Avenue.
According to a Sheriffs Office report, Fountain also did not stop when Deputy Tracy Bazemore turned on her lights. Instead, he reportedly raced down 63rd Street, turned north onto Northeast County Road 200A, cut off four vehicles and cut into a Diamond Oil parking lot in the 6900 block of CR 200A.
Fountain got out of the truck. Bazemore followed into the Diamond Oil and arrested him there.
Fountain reportedly told her he ran because I knew my license was suspended and I was going to jail, the report states.
He was taken to the Marion County Jail and charged with felony fleeing, resisting without violence and driving with a suspended license.

Originally an ancient unit of weight or money (varying greatly and attested in Old English as talente), the Medieval Latin and common Romanic sense developed from figurative use of the word in the sense of "money." Meaning "special natural ability, aptitude," developed mid-14c., from the parable of the talents in Matt. xxv:14-30. Related: Talented.
of silver contained 3,000 shekels (Ex. 38:25, 26), and was equal to 94 3/7 lbs. avoirdupois. The Greek talent, however, as in the LXX., was only 82 1/4 lbs. It was in the form of a circular mass, as the Hebrew name _kikkar_ denotes. A talent of gold was double the weight of a talent of silver (2 Sam. 12:30). Parable of the talents (Matt. 18:24; 25:15).

Had to do another review for my husband....AMAZING
Pressure Optimizer review posted by Marjorie on 10/10/12
My husband has been on prescription High Blood Pressure medicine for 5-7 years, it did a good job, except for the ed issues and just not happy he was taking a drug. He started using this August 2012...within 2 weeks, he was in the normal range. This is amazing and wonderful. He feels better off of the drug...yes it is more money per month, however, I would pay much more for the natural ingredients. Try it....its great!
Pressure Optimizer review posted by Marjorie on 4/20/12
I've tried several different herbal products to lower my blood pressure since it started to go up, last Fall. This is the only product within 1 1/2 weeks, to lower it to "normal" range. What a relief! I've had zero side effects from this natural formulation and am so glad that it doesn't have fish in it. (does have milk though)

Best known for his autobiographical narratives, Lee began his
literary career at an early age, writing verse while still in his teens.
Lee traveled a great deal in his youth, finally settling in Spain, where
he fought in the Spanish Civil War in the Republican army against
Franco. He was also a journalist and scriptwriter, penning multiple
documentaries for the General Post Office film unit. After this stint as
filmmaker, he went on to work as an editor for the Ministry of
Information. It was at this time that he began to publish professionally
his literary works, printing The Sun My Monument
in 1944. This was followed by A rose for Winter
(1955), which ushered in the sequence of autobiographies he is most
known for: Cider with Rosie (1959), The Geographical . As I
Walked out One Midsummer Morning (1969), about his experiences
during the Civil War, Two Women (1983), and
his final book, A Moment of War , published

Hello Jamie, I just found your recipe for Strawberry Jalapeno BBG chicken wings. I want to use the Golds Barbecue Sauce. I know it is early, but I am researching recipes for Pasover. I will be having children that just love chicken wings. I also like that this sauce is fat free. My question to you please: Instead of fresh strawberries, have you tired a preserve or jelly in their place? If yolu did, how much would you suggest i use? Thank you for your time!- by Abbie

A museum-quality display with a signed photo of the men with the "Right Stuff."Mercury Seven Astronaut Photo Signed by All in a Framed Display, Originally from the Personal Collection of Gus Grissom, with LOA from Betty Grissom. This 10" x 7.5" (sight size) photo, showing the astronauts inspecting a Mercury Atlas model, was one of a series of photos taken April 30, 1959, at Langley Research Center. All seven of these brave men, who laid the groundwork for America's space program, have signed with early forms of their signatures: "Alan B Shepard Jr." (1923-1998), "Walter M. Schirra Jr." (1923-2007), "John H. Glenn, Jr.", "Virgil I. Grissom" (1926-1967), "M. Scott Carpenter", "Donald K. Slayton" (1924-1993), and "Leroy G. Cooper, Jr" (1927-2004). A cornerstone item for any Space autograph collection and exceedingly desirable because of the provenance. The photo is stunningly matted in blue linen and gold filets between two engraved plaques; it is framed to an overall 31.5" x 15.5". Worthy of display in any private or institutional collection. Excellent condition.
One of the engraved plaques tells the story of Project Mercury:
"America's Original Space Pioneers. The seven astronauts of the Project Mercury signed this photograph which shows them with a model of a Mercury rocket; these men had been chosen in April of 1959 by NASA as the first American astronauts. The Project Mercury team successfully launched a man into space and safely returned him to Earth. Alan Shepard became the first American hurled into space during his flight aboard Mercury's first manned capsule, the Mercury-Redstone 3 Freedom 7, on May 5, 1961. Gus Grissom manned the Mercury-Redstone 4 Liberty Bell 7 on July 21, 1961, thus becoming the second American in space. On February 20, 1962, John Glenn became the first American in orbit; he made three revolutions around the Earth while aboard the Mercury-Atlas 6 Friendship 7. Scott Carpenter repeated Glenn's amazing feat when he completed three orbits aboard the Mercury-Atlas 7 Aurora 7 on May 24, 1962. The number of orbits previously made doubled after Wally Schirra completed six revolutions aboard the Mercury-Atlas 8 Sigma 7; the October 3, 1962 flight lasted 9 hours and 13 minutes from launch to splashdown. On May 15-16, 1963, Gordon Cooper orbited the Earth 22 times while manning the Mercury-Atlas 9 Faith 7. Cooper was the first American to spend more than one day in orbit; his flight took 34 hours and 19 minutes. Deke Slayton, grounded during the Mercury program because of an irregular heartbeat, was a member of the Apollo-Soyuz Test Project (July 15-24, 1975). During this flight, two spacecraft - one from the United States and one from the Soviet Union - docked in space. Grissom had lost his life when Apollo 1 experienced a fire on the launch pad during simulation on January 27, 1967."
Included with this lot is a signed Letter of Authenticity on Mrs. Grissom's letterhead stating, in full: "June 23, 1995. This is to certify that Lot #3 - Virgil Grissom's Mercury Seven signed photo came from my personal collection."

Remember Me
When Os Mutantes performed at Chicago's Pitchfork Music Festival in July 2006, the Chicago Tribune wrote, "The reunion of these Brazilian psychedelic-rock subversives capped the two-day, 41-band festival. This was not 'Girl from Ipanema' bossa nova, but the soundtrack for a UFO sighting, drenched in sarcasm, eccentricity, and multi-part suites that owe as much to Zappa and the Beatles as they do to Jobim." The newspaper dubbed the group's appearance one of the top ten live music moments of the year.

OK, let's look around Elk City. Well this sign is a good place to learn about the town.
And here a brief explanation about the Nez Perce Trail. Pretty amazing to know we would be riding through the same country that the Nez Perce indians and trappers used. We would travel about 100 miles through the corridor in a day and half....I wonder how long it would take on foot!
A known landmark
The hotel has a small gift shop. This is the Owner who has lived in Elk City for 35 years. Came out here with her boyfriend from California on a motorcycle and never left. She was very friendly and told us about the Magruder Corridor and the mining that went on.
Then I walked in the back room and noticed a couple models of a mining structure (I love miniature models.) So I asked her about them and they are replicas of the stamp mills that were used at the mines. The stamped crushed ore is washed over mercury coated copper sheets and the fine gold particles form with the mercury and is separated.
Then she said, "would you like to see it work?" Huh? The model actually works! Then she flips a switch and the power belts start turning, stamps start pounding and the ore trays start vibrating ....pretty cool. It even had a miniature lamp so you could see!
So if you visit the Elk City hotel, be sure to walk in the back room and see the working models.
Before we left Becky had to check out the liquor store
It was starting to get late and we still had to make camp. Here is the start of the dirt road....looks like we have 18 miles to our campsite.
This way.
Here is our camp at Granite Springs. The guide to the Historic Magruder Road says this site has drinking water, so you would assume there would be a water spicket. We looked all over and finally Gary found a small creek down the hill
Gary and Kelly would fill their water bags later on at Poet Creek, so we set up our tents and Kelly started a fire, we ate dinner and sat around the fire talking.
We had a great first day riding into the Corridor. Tomorrow we confront the road up to Burnt Knob lookout.

SlashGear Morning Wrap-up: October 12th, 2012
This morning we're getting all manner of research results regarding the iPhone 5 that we're sure Apple is more than happy to hear - it's selling well, imagine that! The iPhone 5 has overtaken the Galaxy S III and is unblunted by Apple Maps. It's also got a bit of advertisement tracking going on in it, but no worries, you want that anyway, right? Up in space there's also a collection of SpaceX mission photos for you to enjoy.

Gear Question

Anybody have any input on the version of this stove that actually ships?
You can't see it in the product photo, but the shipping version of this stove has an on/off knob built onto the pump near the shank/sleeve that connects to the fuel line hose. I have an older version of this stove (all silver...no black...no green...2005 model, I believe...) that does not have such a knob built into the pump. The only on/off is controlled via the simmer lever on the burner and the orientation of the bottle itself. Why the triple-redundant on/off functionality?
(On/off based on the orientation of the bottle...on/off based on the state of the knob on the pump....on/off based on the state of the simmer lever on the burner...)
Also, the version that I has different connector shank...it firmly snaps into place...no need to twist, like you have to with this version. The first time I tried this version it leaked whitegas from that twist shank...not cool.
Grey Eagle
The off/on valve on the pump is a handy feature to save the pressure in the fuel bottle. Simply turn the bottle over to the "off" position and when the flame goes out, close the valve on the pump. The pressure remaining inside the fuel bottle stays there reducing the pumping the next time you use the stove.

Decades before David Lynch or Gary Larson were even born, Wladyslaw
Starewicz was creating surreal animated films featuring insects living
in houses, driving cars and committing adulterous affairs. Yes, this
short feature is way ahead of its time and remains to this day quite
extraordinary. The very idea of depicting a domestic love triangle with
insect characters is bizarre to say the least. The fact that the
subject matter is clearly one aimed at adults not children shows that
at this very early stage in the development of animation it wasn't
necessarily obvious that this new form was perfect for children's
features. No, this is more like a surrealist film, except of course,
surrealism hadn't actually been invented yet! Yes, it has to be said
that The Cameraman's Revenge is a highly original bit of work, and one
that without question should be far better known.
The story is about a jealous grasshopper cameraman who films an illicit affair between Mr. Beetle and an exotic dragonfly dancer from the 'Gay Dragonfly' nightclub. Mr. Beetle's wife, Mrs. Beetle is simultaneously conducting a secret friendship with a floppy hat wearing artist insect. Mr. Beetle catches them in in a compromising situation and angrily drives him away. The Beetles then make up and go to the cinema but lo and behold the projectionist is our grasshopper friend and he splices in footage of the adulterous Mr. Beetle in action. Mrs. Beetle goes crazy and batters him over the head with an umbrella. The fight escalates and ends up in the projection booth catching fire and the Beetles are imprisoned for their actions. In jail they start to make up with one and other.
I don't usually bother to write synopsis in my reviews, or if I do I make it very brief. But I have made an exception for this film, as recounting this madness is a bit of a strange pleasure actually. This really is a one off as far as I can tell, I am unaware of any other insect-based love triangle films about angry and immoral insects. The animation itself is excellent and is a clear precursor for the stop-motion work of the more famous Willis O'Brien and Ray Harryhausen. But for sheer originality and general weirdness, Cameraman's Revenge is the one. I would recommend this to anyone with a wish to see something a bit different to the norm.

Source says Derek Forbort signing with Kings is imminent. Could happen as soon as today. Three-year deal. — Schlossman (@SchlossmanGF) April 5, 2013 I don't think this is a big shock to any of us that follow the UND hockey team, first round draft choices don't usually stay more than two to three seasons. As Grand Forks Herald beat writer Brad Schlossman had said in a recent blog post, the Kings don't want to take the risk of losing their first round draft choice. The Mass exodus continues in Minneapolis. So far the Gophers have lost Alt, Bjugstad, Schmidt, Budish to the pros and Larson who is transferring out.… Haula is most likely next. — GPL (@GopherPuckLive) April 5, 2013 Related articles Some interesting tweets from today - early departures and signings (ndgoon.blogspot.com)
