A mobile services control platform supports an enhanced service, Voice Forwarding to Wi-Fi or Wi-Fi Voice. Functionally, the service allows a subscriber to use a Wi-Fi device to receive voice calls directed to his or her mobile number. In a representative example, when the user connects over a Wi-Fi network, e.g., using his or her laptop or other such device, he or she selects "Wi-Fi Voice" option from a client. As a result, future voice calls directed to the user's mobile number get routed to his or her laptop over Wi-Fi, without the caller being aware that the user has connected over a different network. Similarly, voice calls made by the user from his or her laptop Wi-Fi (e.g., through a softphone) are delivered to the recipient's device as if they originated from the mobile phone number.
1. A method of communicating voice within a converged networking operating environment wherein a gateway is deployed in a service provider's telecommunications network and client software is embedded in a target device that is operable within both the telecommunications network and a second network to which the target device is connectable, the service provider's telecommunications network having a set of one or more network elements that comprise or are associated with a voice over IP infrastructure, and a home location register (HLR) to which a subscriber's identity is assigned, and wherein a connection is established between the client software and the gateway, the subscriber having a mobile telephone number, the method comprising:
authenticating the client software to provide a voice forwarding service;
following authentication, and responsive to receipt at the gateway of a Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) registration message from the target device, converting the SIP registration message into a message that updates given information in the HLR to identify the gateway as a location of the target device when the target device is connected to the second network, wherein after updating the given information in the HLR the gateway acts as a visitor location register (VLR);
routing voice calls received to the mobile telephone number over the voice over IP infrastructure to the target device without using a number or identity associated with the second network; and
routing voice calls initiated by the target device over the voice over IP infrastructure, wherein the initiated voice calls appear as if originating from the mobile telephone number instead of a number or identity associated with the second network.

This application is related to U.S. Ser. No. 11/157,498, filed Jun. 21, 2005, titled MOBILE SERVICES CONTROL PLATFORM PROVIDING A MESSAGE FORWARDING SERVICE.
1. Technical Field
The present invention relates generally to WAN mobility technologies and services.
2. Description of the Related Art
A mobile services control platform (MSCP) enables service providers to offer a range of services on mobile computing devices, such as laptops, PDAs, and smart phones. A representative mobile services control platform is described in commonly-owned, co-pending application Ser. No. 10/871,413, titled "Wi-Fi Service Delivery Platform for Retail Service Providers," filed Jun. 18, 2004. As described in that application, the mobile services control platform enables service providers to enhance their existing wireless data offerings to include access over new networks (such as Wi-Fi) and new devices (such as laptops and PDAs), while still being part of a single subscriber profile. This enables service providers to offer to their existing subscribers a single account and single bill for all wireless services.
A representative mobile services control platform is available commercially from Tatara Systems, Inc. of Acton, Mass. This platform comprises a centrally deployed gateway server working in conjunction with a client component on a subscriber's mobile computing device. The client and server maintain a real-time, secure and bi-directional control channel that runs across any IP network. This architecture enables service providers to build their brands, maintain ownership of their customers and extend access to their IP-based services across multiple "home" and "roaming" access networks. The real-time, secure control channel allows service providers to securely authenticate customers, to collect diagnostic information in real-time from the user's device, to monitor and manage service level agreements (SLAS) with roaming partners, to support a broad range of pricing and payment options, and to deliver integrated converged mobile services.
It would be desirable to extend the functionality of a mobile services control platform to provide a converged voice experience, regardless of the device or network. The present invention addresses this need in the art.
The present invention is directed to a method of and apparatus for enabling a Wi-Fi-enabled device user to send and receive voice calls directed to his or her mobile number. The "one number voice" functionality preferably is implemented within a converged networking operating environment wherein a gateway is deployed in a service provider's telecommunications network and client software is embedded in a subscriber mobile device that is operable within both the telecommunications network and a wireless local area network to which the subscriber mobile device is connectable. In one embodiment, the service provider's telecommunications network comprises an VOIP infrastructure (typically, a set of one or more network elements such as a SIP server, a signaling gateway (SGW), a Media Gateway Control Function (MGCF) and a Media Gateway (MGW)), and a database (e.g., an HLR) to which a subscriber's identity is assigned. Preferably, a secure connection link is established between the client software and the gateway. The method begins by updating data message routing information in the database to identify the gateway as a location of the subscriber mobile device. In a representative embodiment, this step configures the gateway as an MSC/VLR. Once the gateway is configured in this manner, voice calls intended for the subscriber are routed seamlessly to the subscriber mobile device, and voice calls originated by the subscriber are routed seamlessly from the subscriber mobile device.
Thus, according to the present invention, a mobile services control platform supports an enhanced service, Voice Forwarding to Wi-Fi or Wi-Fi Voice. Functionally, and as noted above, the service allows a subscriber to use a Wi-Fi device to receive voice calls directed to his or her mobile number. In a representative example, when the user connects over a Wi-Fi network, e.g., using his or her laptop or other such device, he or she selects "Wi-Fi Voice" option from a client. As a result, future voice calls directed to the user's mobile number get routed to his or her laptop over Wi-Fi, without the caller being aware that the user has connected over a different network. Similarly, voice calls made by the user from his or her laptop Wi-Fi (e.g., through a softphone) are delivered to the recipient's device as if they originated from the mobile phone number.
The foregoing has outlined some of the more pertinent features of the invention. These features should be construed to be merely illustrative. Many other beneficial results can be attained by applying the disclosed invention in a different manner or by modifying the invention as will be described.
For a more complete understanding of the present invention and the advantages thereof, reference is now made to the following descriptions taken in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, in which:
As noted above, the present invention may be implemented in a converged networking environment wherein a gateway is deployed in a service provider's telecommunications network and client software is embedded in a subscriber mobile device that is operable within both the telecommunications network and a wireless local area network to which the subscriber mobile device is connectable. As noted above, the present invention is not limited for use with any particular voice telecommunications network, protocol or technology. For illustrative purposes only, the following describes the invention in the context of a GSM network as a representative service provider's networking environment. The invention may likewise be implemented in a CDMA networking environment, or in or across other known or later-developed environments in which voice forwarding is desired. Moreover, while one embodiment of the present invention is illustrated in the context of providing voice forwarding over Wi-Fi, this is not a limitation of the invention either, as the functionality may be implemented to provide voice forwarding to any IP-based network.
As is well-known, a network 10 (such as a GSM network) comprises a number of basic components such as illustrated in
The network architecture for a wireless local area network 38 is also illustrated in
A CWG client 56 is installed on the mobile station. The client software can include information downloaded by the operator when the user first subscribes to hotspot access. The client is responsible for conveying identification information as well as for assisting in traffic and mobility management. As described in Ser. No. 10/213,329, the client software is generally needed to provide session and traffic integration and is optional if only AAA integration is desired. If present, however, the client software communicates with the CWG to authenticate the user with the GPRS network.
The CWG gateway and client comprise a mobile services control platform. The gateway preferably is disposed within a mobile operator's backend network working in conjunction with a client component on the subscriber's mobile computing device. The client and server components maintain a real-time, secure and bi-directional communications channel that runs across any IP network. This architecture enables service providers to build their brands, maintain ownership of their customers, and to extend access to their IP-based services across multiple "home" and "roaming" Wi-Fi access networks. Representative gateway and client components are available from Tatara Systems, Inc. of Acton, Mass.
As noted below and illustrated in
The following sections provide details on the converged voice functionality of the present invention.
By way of brief additional background, an advantage of the inventive solution is explained by comparing
To achieve this functionality, the present invention preferably implements a control path solution that integrates the mobile voice network with a SIP VOIP network and, in particular, by providing a gateway that detects a user's Wi-Fi presence and Voice preference, updates a subscriber database (e.g., HLR/HSS in GSM or CDMA networks) with the new presence information, and routes the incoming calls to the VOIP infrastructure. Conceptually, the present invention may be considered to be a SIP/HLR proxy that manages Wi-Fi network presence and call routing functions, while integrating with the existing VOIP infrastructure (either softswitch based or IMS based) to enable delivery of end-to-end voice calls.
As will be described in more detail below, the present invention provides a converged voice service over Wi-Fi with several desirable features: integrated Wi-Fi and voice authentication that enables secure authentication of Wi-Fi users before delivery of voice services; extension of Wi-Fi presence and availability to existing voice infrastructure, enabling routing of mobile voice calls into the Wi-Fi network while maintaining a single user identity that corresponds to the user's mobile phone number; a control and signaling path solution that provides a seamless interface with existing VOIP infrastructure in a service provider network (e.g., Media Gateways, softswitch, or IMS infrastructure); and, standards based interface into SIP and Parlay application services platforms, enabling seamless extension of existing voice services into the Wi-Fi domain.
The present invention provides this functionality in existing softswitch-based networks, as well as with developing IMS infrastructure. Each of these approaches is discussed in detail in the next two sections.
1. Softswitch Network Solution
In this embodiment, the present invention leverages softswitch-based VOIP deployment architecture to deliver VOIP calls to the Wi-Fi device. In particular, a subscriber gateway provides the gateway between the two networks via a SIP/HLR proxy, manages authentication, manages presence, and controls signaling. The service manager client serves as the VOIP endpoint, providing a softphone capability. An illustrative architecture is shown in
WLAN AAA Server 602: This module performs AAA functions required to authenticate users for Wi-Fi access as well as authorize them for voice services. Further, this module also collects session and flow level usage information, which is used for accounting. These operations conform to 3GPP AAA requirements for WLAN.
PDG 604: This module terminates tunnels from the client. These tunnels, which are preferably based on SSL, are used for the transport of SIP signaling messages, as well as for delivery of voice packets. This conforms to the PDG specification as defined by 3GPP. This module serves as a Session Border Controller, managing security and privacy issues as well as NAT/Firewall traversal.
Mobility server 606: This module manages seamless handoffs between GSM and Wi-Fi networks. The approach to mobility management is described in more detail below.
SIP Proxy 608: This module is a stateful SIP proxy that transfers all the SIP messages between the client and the SIP servers in the network.
VLR 610: As noted above, the gateway interfaces with the HLR over GSM MAP, functioning as a VLR. This operation is used to update the user's location to point to Wi-Fi. Specifically, the VLR points the user's voice location to the softswitch. As a result, subsequent calls for the user's mobile number get directed to the softswitch, which then delivers them over Wi-Fi to the user device.
A representative call flow for this embodiment is shown in
Registration messages:
One of ordinary skill in the art will appreciate that an advantage of this approach is that it leverages existing components in a VOIP network. In particular, preferably the gateway is a signaling plane element and functions as a SIP/HLR proxy, integrates with Wi-Fi authentication and billing, controls VOIP signaling messages, manages end-to-end call completion (e.g., by proxying SIP messages), and off-loads bearer path transfers to the media gateways. In addition, specific billing records for Wi-Fi voice usage can also be generated by the subscriber gateway as needed.
2. IMS-Based Network Solution
This approach for voice forwarding takes advantage of the elements deployed in an IMS based infrastructure. As is known, IMS is a next generation all Internet Protocol (IP) core being designed for GSM and CDMA networks. In this context, the gateway is a signaling plane element and functions as a P-CSCF (and optionally as an I-CSCF) to provide the necessary integration with Wi-Fi authentication and billing infrastructure.
To highlight specific details of the IMS-based solution,
In terms of the P-CSCF function 1110, the gateway performs the following functions: forwarding a SIP register request received from a UE to an I-CSCF determined using a home network domain name, as provided by the UE; forwarding SIP messages received from the UE to a SIP server (e.g. S-CSCF) whose name the P-CSCF has received as a result of the registration procedure; forwarding the SIP request or response to the UE; generating CDRs; and, maintaining a security association between itself and each UE. This latter function includes first authenticating the user with the HLR/HSS for access (using methods such as EAP SIM or EAP AKA using SIM/USIM) followed by encrypting messages between the UE and P-CSCF. The encryption preferably is achieved by using the SSL tunnel; TLS based transport can also be added, if required. Also, with respect to the P-CSCF function, the gateway performs SIP message compression/decompression, if required. In terms of the optional I-CSCF function, the gateway performs the following functions:: registration; assigning a S-CSCF to a user performing SIP registration; session-related and session-unrelated flows; routing a SIP request received from another network towards the S-CSCF; obtaining from HSS the Address of the S-CSCF; forwarding the SIP request or response to the S-CSCF determined by the step above; charging and resource utilization; generation of CDRs, and the like.
Registration messages (steps 1 through 5 are similar to the softswitch based approach)
As in the first embodiment, this approach for Wi-Fi voice also leverages the existing IMS infrastructure to deliver voice over Wi-Fi while retaining the user's identity in the mobile network. In addition, as also noted, specific billing records for Wi-Fi voice usage can also be generated by the subscriber gateway as needed.
Additional Implementation Details
As mentioned earlier, the present invention may be implemented within components commercially available from Tatara Systems, Inc. of Acton, Mass., although this is not a limitation of the present invention. The control path solution of the present invention may be implemented in any convenient manner using appropriate hardware and software components, devices, products and systems. As noted above, the control path solution provides integrated Wi-Fi authentication, presence management, voice service authorization and setup. These functions preferably are provided within the gateway, although this is not a limitation of the present invention. On the client side, a representative client typically includes a softphone capability that includes control and data path solutions—the control path preferably goes through the gateway, while the data path for sending and receiving voice packets preferably is directed to the media gateways.
Real-time modules
Non real-time modules include modules that collect data records, store them, audit them, and process them for delivery to other components in the service provider network. Other modules include modules for managing the gateway, such as SNMP and HTTP.
Voice Forward Related Modules
The voice functionality preferably is provided through a voice module 1300, as shown in
The overall structure of the client and its changes to accommodate the inventive functionality is shown in
To support the voice forward functionality, several enhancements are provided to the baseline client architecture in a representative embodiment.
The following section provides additional details of the call flow for call origination and termination to supplement the call flows in
Mobile Originated Calls
7. The PSTN accepts the call with an ACM (Address Complete Message), which is sent back to the MGCF via the MGW.
The procedure for the Mobile Terminated call is similar and is illustrated in
As multi-mode devices start becoming more prevalent, the above-described voice forwarding solutions may be modified to support voice handoff across GSM and Wi-Fi networks. To this end, it is assumed that such a device comprises (either as original equipment or as a software download) appropriate client functionality as has been described generally above. The handoff between the GSM and Wi-Fi networks may be implemented using multiparty calling capabilities. As shown in
One of ordinary skill in the art will appreciate that the present invention provides numerous advantages. The inventive service provides unique value to the subscriber as well as to the service provider. Subscribers benefit because they get to maintain a single identity for all voice applications. A subscriber can always be reached on his or her existing mobile phone number, regardless of the network and device the subscriber connects from. While Wi-Fi VOIP may not be expected to be a primary voice connection, it provides a good alternative when there is lack of cellular coverage, when roaming charges are high, or simply when the subscriber cannot use his or her cell phone (e.g. battery dead, usage policies, etc.). Also, as multi-mode devices become more prevalent, the user experience of such a converged voice service also improves. Service providers also benefit from such a service and can leverage it both as an opportunity as well as to prevent cannibalization of their existing services. From an opportunity perspective, service providers benefit because they can provide voice services even in the home environment and potentially get additional service usage previously targeted for wireline use. Second, service providers can also use this service to address coverage concerns in homes or other areas. Further, in heavy usage settings such as convention centers, service providers can use Wi-Fi voice as a way to selectively off-load traffic to the Wi-Fi network, e.g., to address capacity concerns.
Although an illustrative embodiment involves Voice Forwarding to Wi-Fi, this is not a limitation, as the techniques of the present invention can also be used to forward voice to any IP network, such as Wi-Max, Ethernet connections, or the like. More generally, the present invention describes a technique whereby a user's identity in a service provider's telecommunications network (e.g., an MSISDN number) is transported or bridged across various different networks and/or devices to facilitate voice communications using just that one identity. Thus, in one above-described embodiment, the device is a laptop having a Wi-Fi card, and the user can receive (or place) telephone calls to his or her mobile number at (or from) that device. In another embodiment, the device is a dual mode cellphone having a first interface to the user's mobile service provider's network, and a second interface to some other network, such as a WLAN. There is no requirement that the device at which the user's identity is transported or bridged be a mobile device, although this will be the case typically. Indeed, that device may be a home PC. In another embodiment, the device is a cellphone that uses one telecommunications standard in one network (e.g., CDMA in Europe) and a second standard in another network (e.g., GSM in the U.S.). These are merely representative examples, of course.
Although not illustrated in detail, one of ordinary skill will also appreciate that the subscriber gateway enables access to advanced IMS services over WLAN by interfacing with existing application servers. This may be accomplished over standard interfaces, such as SIP and Parlay. These services include extension of IMS services into the WLAN network (e.g., push-to-talk, conferencing, and the like), as well as creation of WLAN specific applications by third party application developers, e.g., by using state information exported by the Subscriber Gateway. The Voice Forwarding to Wi-Fi functionality of the present invention may be implemented as one such WLAN specific application.
While the above describes a particular order of operations performed by a given embodiment of the invention, it should be understood that such order is exemplary, as alternative embodiments may perform the operations in a different order, combine certain operations, overlap certain operations, or the like. References in the specification to a given embodiment indicate that the embodiment described may include a particular feature, structure, or characteristic, but every embodiment may not necessarily include the particular feature, structure, or characteristic.
While the present invention has been described in the context of a method or process, the present invention also relates to apparatus for performing the operations herein. This apparatus may be specially constructed for the required purposes, or it may comprise a general-purpose computer selectively activated or reconfigured by a computer program stored in the computer. Such a computer program may be stored in a computer readable storage medium including, without limitation, any type of disk including optical disks, CD-ROMs, and magnetic-optical disks, read-only memory (ROM), random access memory (RAM), magnetic or optical cards, or any type of media suitable for storing electronic instructions.
While given components of the system have been described separately, one of ordinary skill also will appreciate that some of the functions may be combined or shared in given instructions, program sequences, code portions, and the like.
Finally, while the above text describes a particular order of operations performed by certain embodiments of the invention, it should be understood that such order is exemplary, as alternative embodiments may perform the operations in a different order, combine certain operations, overlap certain operations, or the like. References in the specification to a given embodiment indicate that the embodiment described may include a particular feature, structure, or characteristic, but every embodiment may not necessarily include the particular feature, structure, or characteristic.

Bridal Traditions has the largest selection of dresses in the area. They have large dressing rooms and plenty of space to bring your friends/family. The woman who assisted me was extremely friendly and helpful. I would suggest any Omaha bride visit this bridal store first.
I went into the salon having no idea what I wanted and my consultant Taylor was completely amazing! I could not have asked for a better experience. I made my appointment on a Monday so I would have some extra time and Taylor was able to find me my perfect gown no problem while making me feel completely at ease throughout the entire process. The entire staff was incredibly kind and friendly and they made sure that I had my "say yes to the dress" moment. Thank you again ladies! - Megan
One stop shop!Reviewed on 12/16/2014 Laura T
NOt only were the staff much more knowledgeable tan any other local bridal shops they were friendly and helped me find not only he best wedding dress but the most perfect complementing bridemaids dresses. People attending said the color scheme of the wedding party was absolutely fairy tale like!
Although this place does have the best selection out of any other in town, their customer service could use some help. My wife had issues with alterations being done to her dress as the first few fittings seemed to all have the same result of un-accomplishment. The father of the bride didn't receive his tux jacket, but was sworn that it was sent home with him as well as one of the groomsmen's tuxes being misplaced and then accusing him of not brining it in. I would recommend anyone who uses Bridal Traditions to use caution.
Best ExperienceReviewed on 11/26/2014 Julie T
I went to several places around Omaha not only as a bride but previously as a maid of honor. My best friend and I both found our dresses here. My consultant was Taylor and Jeanie consulted my best friend (she was so professional!). Taylor was lovely. She not only listened to my needs, but she talked me through the pros and cons of each dress. She never pushed my budget and was conscientious of my theme throughout the entire session. She never once asked me to try anything I might not like--in fact, she was completely alright with helping me try over 12 dresses. After listening to my personal pros and cons of each dress she pulled one final dress that had all of my pros! I ended up LOVING it so much that I said yes to the dress! She also picked my belt and veil perfectly. Another aspect of Taylor's selling style is that she made me feel like a friend. She wasn't stuffy/judgemental at all, which I did enounter elsewhere in Omaha. I manage a women's boutique and it is hard for me to be sold like she sold me. I cannot wait for my dress to come in and I am positive that I will be recommending all of my clients to Bridal Traditions. Thanks again, Taylor!

Great experienceReviewed on 10/27/2014 Angela G
If you're looking for a "Say Yes to the Dress" bridal salon experience (or even an experience more chill than that), you can't go wrong with Bridal Traditions. The ladies there are so nice and are great at their jobs. After trying on similar types of dresses over and over again with no luck, my consultant knew exactly which (different) dress to pull for me and it ended up being the one! When it came to the dress fittings and alteration appointments, they were very understanding of my schedule (and the schedules of my bridesmaids), and were willing to let us hang around there for as long as we needed, even after the appointment was technically over. Also, their seamstress is amazing! She made my dress fit like a glove and I couldn't have been happier.
Beautiful dress and friendly serviceReviewed on 10/21/2014 Mamie B
We found bridal traditions on accident on a Saturday morning after striking out at one salon and having another tell us we had to have an appointment to look around. Everyone was incredibly kind, helpful, and welcoming. We ended up finding the perfect dress there with the help of a really great staff. Thanks!!
Great SelectionReviewed on 10/14/2014 Lisa S
Bridal Traditions has a great selection of wedding gowns and bridesmaids dresses. I love how you can go in and pull the dresses off the rack yourself instead of assuming someone working at the store will pull your perfect dress. I was able to find the perfect dress with the help of Danielle. Danielle was so helpful and patient with me in trying on dresses. Masha did a wonderful job with my dress alterations. The reason I gave them a four instead of a five is because they came very close to losing two of my bridesmaids dresses....Two days before the wedding one of my bridesmaids went to go pick up her dress and it took them 35 minutes to find the dress! They kept asking if it could be under a different name...Also, one of my bridesmaids went to an alterations appointment and they had the dress in a bag with the wrong wedding date, brides name, and bridesmaid name. Good thing we noticed, or I feel that could have been a disaster finding that one as well.
Great ServiceReviewed on 9/04/2014 Ruth H
I loved shopping there. Dresses were pretty but I couldn't afford the dresses
disappointingReviewed on 8/12/2014 Lindsay W
I bought my bridal gown and ordered our bridesmaid dresses through Bridal Traditions. Many of the staff members are rude and impatient. One of them in particular was very disrespectful to me and some of my bridesmaids when we were trying on dresses one night and completely ruined our night. The woman that altered my dress also was horrible. I went in for 3 fittings and every time she had forgotten to fix the things she was supposed to fix from the time before. She did a very poor job once she actually did the alterations and there were pieces of thread sticking out all over my dress and even a tear. Don't waste your time here.

They made me feel like a bride. The woman assisting me was completely honest and really cared about my big day.

Loved my dress!!Reviewed on 7/01/2014 Amber W
I absolutely loved my dress!! It was timeless and looked amazing!! I did not have to get it taken in! So many compliments! The main problem I had was the my bridesmaids' dresses, two were measured way too big, making them pay more!! They also lied about the guy's tuxes they said they would be in two weeks before the wedding! They were in the week of and they were going to charge us more if they had to overnight anything for Saturday!! All the guys I know work out of town!! Horrible service!!
Absolutely PerfectReviewed on 6/16/2014 Nikki R
Every time I walked in, I was always greeted and helped right away. Judy helped me find my dress and was have me tips about what looked good and what didn't. I went to other places that just wanted my money instead of helping me find what I wanted. I loved my dress and felt so beautiful. Thank you Judy and all the staff at Bridal Traditions
Beautiful Shop!Reviewed on 6/14/2014 Samantha F
I purchased my dress here, mother-in-laws dress, maid-of-honors dresses, brides-maid's dress, and flower girls dress here. They had a great selection of dresses, except for my mother. If you are bigger than average, they will recommend that you go to another store which is what we had to do for my mother. They also do alterations in house and we had an interesting alterations experience. It all worked out in the end, but we had to be a little pushy to get it done in time. Besides those two things the prices and the quality of products that we got were amazing and we all looked great on the big day :)
A lot of choicesReviewed on 6/14/2014 Lauren M
Bridal Traditions has many options of dresses to choose from and a lot of different price points. I found my wedding dress there and I couldn't be happier with it.

Tuxes, Bridesmaids, GownReviewed on 5/26/2014 Jessica S
We didn't intend on buying our entire bridal party ensembles at one location, but the staff at Bridal Traditions made it easy to work with them on everything! I first purchased my gown there. It hadn't even hit the floor yet, and was not my style but the sales woman encouraged me to try it on. I was not disappointed... it was exactly what I had been looking for and had not know it! The patient staff is great to work with and will do there best to come up with a solution to any problem you may have.
to priceyReviewed on 3/19/2014 betty s
high priced and were there for 10 mins n no staff talked to us so we left
Was disappointed in service for bridesmaids dressesReviewed on 1/13/2014 Erin S
I took 3 of my bridesmaids there on 3 different occasions to look for dresses. 2 of the times we had no trouble finding styles we liked, and were able to walk right in and try them on. With absolutely no service, the chances of us buying a dress at the time was slim to none. Those two bridesmaids found dress at another store that gave us the most amazing experience. My 3rd bridesmaid was getting short on time so we went there to get a dress and order it quick before we had to put a rush on it. We found her dress after about a hour and half of trying on with no sales associate to help us. When we decided to order it we were standing at the check out desk for about 20 minutes before someone came up to talk to us. Only then did we get to see other colors, and get measured for the dress. Would have been nice to have that service when she was in the fitting room. We got the dress ordered, and they were grateful and helpful with the ordering process. I feel strongly however that spending 200 dollars on a dress should warrant us a high quality of service, at least better than what you would get from a mall associate. Bridesmaids dresses are not chump change, and even compared to wedding dresses, where they were obviously focused, they are making money off of our sale. I am glad I didn't buy my wedding dress there after the lack of service in the bridesmaids department. (But maybe I would have gotten better service if I had bought my wedding dress there)
The Perfect GownReviewed on 11/23/2013 Elizabeth C
I went to every store in Omaha searching for the perfect gown. After an exhausting search I found the gown I've always dreamed of at Bridal Traditions. Brandy helped me and she was amazing. She knew every single gown in the store and was able to give me options. She spent her time with me and never rushed me. They aren't on commission so they don't try to pressure you to buy the mist expensive gown or hurry and purchase. I had the best experience and the perfect gown for a princess.
GownReviewed on 11/07/2013 Michaela M
I worked with Danielle at bridal traditions who was fantastic. Answered all my questions and was at my fittings and was so helpful and sweet whenever I came in!
Loved my dress!Reviewed on 11/01/2013 Kristen C
Shopping for my dress was so simple! Bridal Traditions has a gorgeous selection of dresses and they are very well displayed. The woman who helped us find the perfect dress was extremely helpful. Alterations were odd because the second fitting was at the tailor's house. When I went to pick it up the day before the wedding, she still hadn't dropped it off at Bridal Traditions. Other than that little snag, they were wonderful.
Best experience!!!Reviewed on 10/26/2013 Ashley L
I had an unbelievable experience with the ladies at Bridal Traditions! It was so nice to go search for the perfect dress myself. They gave me a dress cart and said "GO!" my maid of honor and I dove right into the dresses. I found a dress that I normally wouldnt have asked or at any other place but said okay well why not. It was not my normal style and what I was looking for. after looking the ladies were very, so very helpful in finding all the possiblities. The try on rooms were a mini modeling room so you didnt have to go out into the store to look in a mirror. Definitely a royalty treatment bridal shop to go to. They did everything to make my dress and day perfect! My dress ending up being in stock because another bride had ordered it but changed her mind and my veil was terrific! I ended up puchasing my entire wedding day, dress, veil, shoes, hair piece, everything there because I never had been to a place that treated their customers like family! Thank for Bridal Traditions for making my day absolutely PERFECT!!!

In this course, author Ashley Kennedy demonstrates basic and intermediate video editing techniques in Avid Media Composer. The course explains how to build sequences, mix audio, apply effects, and color-correct footage. The course also shows how to create titles, manage and output media, capture and import footage, and troubleshoot common post-production issues.
Once you've edited shots into the Timeline, you'll often want to move them around. Whether this means switching locations or just nudging them slightly one way or the other, it's important that you know how to reposition clips once you've edited them. In this lesson, we'll take a look at Extract/Splice Segment mode to learn how to reposition shots in the Timeline. Now there are two types of Segment modes in Media Composer: Extract/Splice Segment mode and Lift/Overwrite Segment mode. They're represented by these arrows here. The yellow arrow on the bottom is Extract/Splice Segment mode and the red arrow on top is Lift/Overwrite Segment mode.
They probably look familiar to, as they look a lot like the Splice and Overwrite arrows that we used previously. As you may imagine, they not only look similar to the Splice and Overwrite arrows, but they act very similarly too. However, instead of editing shots from the Source monitor to the Timeline, these arrows are for grabbing shots and moving them around the Timeline. They each behave differently and in this lesson, we'll explore the functionality of the yellow arrow, Extract/Splice Segment mode.
Okay, so we're working with the same sequence here. Let's just go ahead and review our footage. We have kind of a narrative montage in the beginning, and we have a little bit more of a complex dance scene afterwards, and it's followed by a little more of that narrative story. So, we have a couple of notes, and basically after they set down their suit- cases, we want to change the order of these two shots. So she's putting the flower in her hair here, and here we have kind of a nice slow pan over to her shoe.
We want to change that around so that the pan over comes first. I'm going to go ahead and play so you can see what I'm talking about. (clip playing) Okay, so we have suitcase too and we want to stick with suitcase. So what I'm going to do is just click on the Extract/Splice Segment mode and then click on this clip right here.
If I click and drag and I drag to the left, you'll see that I get a four-window display. Now, the first and the fourth windows represent the frames on either side of the clip that I'm about to drop down. So I can see exactly where I'm dropping it. The second and third windows represent the first and last frames of the clip that I'm dragging. So, as you might imagine, I want to snap to the point in between two edits and if you remember, I was able to snap to an edit by holding down Ctrl or Command on a Mac, and this is no different.
I'm going to hold down Ctrl and now when I drag this clip, you can see that it snaps to those edit points. Okay, so we are going to insert this shot right here, and I'm going to let go, and the shot's changed position. I now have the pan over to the shoe right where I want it. Let's go ahead and watch it and see if we like it. (clip playing) All right, that looks a lot better, more what we were going for.
We're telling the story better here, and this works well. So, we have another note where we actually want to change a couple of shots with a couple of more, and that's down here where we have her adjusting the tie and then looking at the tie and then we have him flipping up his hat and then continuing to put on his hat. Let's go ahead and take a look at this sequence, and we'll start right here and I'll Play. (clip playing) So, where we get that horn, we would instead like him flipping up his hat.
So, we're going to switch these two shots with these two shots, and it works the same exact way. We're just going to grab two shots at a time. I'm going to click on this shot here and then Shift+Click on the adjacent one. And if I wanted to move many, many shots, I could just Shift+Click all the way down the line and everything could move at once, but we only wanted to grab two. Another way to actually grab multiple shots at one time is to make sure that I have the correct arrow selected and then lasso, and then they're both selected using Extract/Splice Segment mode.
So I'm going to grab on, and then I'm going to hold down the Ctrl key and just move it over. And we want to go over two, so I'm going to let go here. All right! We have our hat and we have the tie, and I'm going to play to see if this works for us. (clip playing) All right! I think the timing works out really well in all of our decisions to move those shots around.
I do want to point out one more thing about Extract/Splice Segment mode. And if I just wanted to get rid of a shot entirely, I could use it to delete shots as well. So say, for example, I wanted to find a different shot of her putting the flower in her hair and I wanted to just extract it so that I could go back to my bin, find a new shot, and splice it in. Well, before we learned how to extract material using in and out points and the Extract command. Now, if you wanted to extract an entire segment in this case, I would just click on the segment and press the Delete key on my keyboard.
It's extracted, the duration of our sequence shortens, and I can go find another shot. Now, this is something I don't want to do in this case, so I'm going to Ctrl+Z or Command+Z on a Mac. And again, I think that the order of our shots in this case works really well for our sequence. Moving shots around in the Timeline is essential to the editing process, as it allows you to lay down an initial rough cut and then fine-tune by moving things around as you see fit. Extract/Splice Segment mode, or yellow arrow, is very important to this overall process, as it allows you to freely manipulate clip locations without going back into the bin for additional material.

That's a great point. I wouldn't be surprised if they're hoping he goes on a hot streak so they can then trade him to a contender, maybe as a bonus player in a Cliff Lee trade.

There are more than a few whispers that George Kottaras is NOT a good guy - bad in the clubhouse, other players don't like him, rude to strangers, embarrasses those with him, an overall bad representative or ambassador for the team he plays for, you name it. Hence he wears out his welcome with new teams quickly. Most journeyman types wind up with the same team more than once; notice this has never happened with Kottaras.

Sadly, I appear to be a crap house keeper. Many, many years ago, I walked out on a life I hated. I felt like Tina Turner, I walked away with just my name. It was the only time in my life when I was a complete door mat. Ha ha, look how that turned out.
My ex still manages to find new ways to annoy me. Some people really need a hobby. However, I manage to annoy myself by pandering to the crap. I wonder why I do? I suspect it's probably just habit. The only reason that man even comes up on my radar is that we managed to produce some wonderful offspring – the only good thing to come out of my door mat era.
The list of threats is often quite entertaining
- Legal action – I'd like to see him find suitable grounds
- Prevent contact with the children – they have a say in things
- Making things difficult to me – like they could be any harder?
I am weary. I am weary of banality and mediocrity. I am weary of the life I never seem able to leave behind. I am weary of those who use, manipulate and abuse. I am weary of small-minded, parochial people who have nothing else to do than gossip. I just need to cane someone REALLY REALLY hard!

sharing problem on windows 7
I have a pc for downloading, I connect to it via remote desktop connection and I mapped 2 network drives for the download folders.
I shared the download folders with permissions to user named NaAZoOR with password so no one else on the network can access them, my own pc has admin user called NaAZoOR so I can connect without problem.
I installed windows 7 OEM on my Own pc and every think went ok with the sharing & mapping, after I disabled the password protection sharing option from the advanced sharing options.
Suddenly, when I try to connect to the download pc via mapped network drives or when trying to access the shared folders I find this window:
And I dont use domain, I use a regular workgroup on my network, every account I have cant access the mapped drives or shared folders.
Any suggestion are highly appreciated.

Well it's not an official, or is it meant to be like one. Yellow is already supposed to be an experienced trainer, and this game is based off the traditional JRPG system where you figured things out on your own.

Blum has no hope of cracking a RD spot in NSH with Weber\Klein and Eliis there.. He is a good puck mover who would be an instant upgrade over Potter as our 3rd pairing RD.
He has played with Fistric back in Jr as well..
Whitney would actually be an upgrade over H.Gill and could use a change of scenery..
If Omark has a NHL career ahead of himself.. NSH might be the only place where he can make his mark.. NSH management might take a chance on him.
there is no way that nsh does that deal...garbage players for decent role players
If that "prospect" were MPS instead of Omark, then they would talk. I could see Nashville being interested in a guy like Hemsky.

When I researched ulcers in horses some of the other symptoms were poor appetite, poor hair coat, mild colic, attitude changes such as a calm horse suddenly acting hyper or different, poor performance, lying down more than normal, sensitivity to touch on their lower stomach. He is not exhibiting any of these signs. Other than the weight loss he is completely normal. His coat is shining and looks great, he hasn't been lying down any more than normal and he is great with being rubbed all over. I know this doesn't mean that he doesn't have an ulcer I am just inclined to believe that it could be something else as well since the weight loss is the only sign I have to go off of right now.
I too am interested to find out what is really going on. I just heard from his leaser and she said he has gained some weight back in the last couple of days but I am still taking him to the vet nonetheless.
Also yes this vet is an equine nutrition specialist. I did some research on her as well and she is highly recommended by my trainer. She has a list of her specializations on her website and equine dietary and nutritional needs is one of those specializations :]

"SSS has made the playing field more leveled; I had an equal chance to succeed as much as anyone else." "Alisha has always been a very hard working student determined to succeed and she has!

How has SSS supported his academic goals? He has learned to manage his time more effectively and how to study better. He has also learned how to take better notes and how to work with people more efficiently. "Codie is very proactive when it comes to his goals and is a very hardworking student.

She advises incoming freshman to "be involved and use all the resources available". While in pursuit of her goals, Blanca says that "Academic Success has been really helpful with everything, especially Megan. She has answered all my questions and helped me with everything.

The tutors are also a big help because they help me understand the information in my classes better." "Blanca is a very motivated and hard-working student.

I'm so glad I decided to live on campus. It has helped me get to know more people and to learn more about myself, realizing now that I can make it on my own!" "Anyone who spends time with Heather will realize she is a determined and disciplined young lady that won't let anything stop her from achieving her goals. She doesn't let her disability get in her way! Heather is a fighter and a winner!" Rashawn Harvey, Nominator From the Academic Mentor… Cody Jorgensen As we finish this hectic semester, we go in the Christmas season and break. This is not only a great time to relax at home with family or to enjoy sweets and presents. It can also be used to pre- pare and get ready for next semester. So, let's not forget important knowledge that we may need for next semester and be ready for another semester that will hopefully not be as stressful! Also, every- one have a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year and remember our services here at Academic Success! MENTORING EXCELLENCE AWARD RECIPIENT FALL 2009 EMILY SCHEEL After each semester, Academic Success organizes an awards ceremony called the "Awards and Recognition Social" as an effort to recognize the achievements of our students and to celebrate the end of another semester. In the fall, one special award is received by a student mentor. The Mentoring Excellence Award was established in the fall of 2007 to recognize one student mentor for their exceptional commitment and dedication in providing top notch mentoring services to their mentee(s) in order to make a difference in the lives of fellow students. Mentors are selected for this award based on their willingness and ability to make the extra effort in their mentoring relationships and their overall dependability and performance with the Academic Success program. Mentors can be nominated for this award by their mentee, or a faculty or staff member. This fall seven individual mentors were nominated to receive the Mentoring Excellence Award by their mentees. This is by far the record of the amount of nominations received! I am proud of every mentor this fall and feel honored to have worked with each one of them. One student stands out slightly above the rest and this student is our Mentoring Excellence Award Recipient. Academic Success is proud to announce that Emily Scheel, a second year student from Lincoln, Nebraska is our official recipient of the Fall 2009 Mentoring Excellence Award! Emily was nominated by one of her mentees for this award. Throughout the fall semester, Emily met with her mentees consistently and outside of the regular mentoring meetings. Each week, she sent random messages and phone calls, attended additional fun activities, and genuinely served as a trusted friend and confidant to her mentees. Emily's mentee who nominated her stated that she "deserves this award because she was always there when I needed her and I always looked forward to our mentor meetings because we had so much fun together. She makes me want to be a mentor in the near future!" Please help us in congratulating Emily on her outstanding mentoring achievements! MF CAMPUS CALENDAR Monday, Dec 14 Finals Week!

Remember Me
At a benefit for the San Francisco Mime Troupe, on December 12, 1965, a Palo Alto band called the Warlocks performed their very first show as The Grateful Dead. Thirty-nine years later, on October 4th, the Mime Troupe will return the favor, performing a benefit for the Dead's Rex Foundation at the historic Avalon Ballroom (the first benefit was at the Fillmore).
Facilitated by long time community/political activist Carolyn (Mountain Girl) Garcia, the evening brings to life the metaphor described in the Foundation's recent newsletter Perspectives on Community Engagement about the sailing ship "America" tipped too far in one direction by extreme political winds, able to be righted by the keel, comprised of the fundamental decency of "We the People." Our ship of state is perilously close to sinking in the depths of fear and despair.
In some modest way, this evening is an attempt to find, out of the experience of long time community/political activists, including Carolyn Garcia, Jodie Evans, co-founder of CODEPINK: Women for Peace (www.codepinkalert.org), and the Mime Troupe, a place for avoiding that fate, and finding a rational basis for hope. An evening of thought provoking fun, where everyone will be entertained and gain a sense of the possibility for direct involvement to affect social change.
The San Francisco Mime Troupe will perform the acclaimed anti-war satire Veronique of the Mounties. Picture this: It's 2008 and the terror alert is on ultraviolet (so high you can't even see it!) The U.S. is on the brink of another war. The White House has liberated every country from Iraq to France, and has turned its eyes to the new enemy from the north, Canada. Only one woman stands in the way of all out war with the Canadians, and it's Veronique of the Mounties. Join the Troupe in their most rabble rousing social satire in many years.
Since 1984, Rex has granted over $7 million to over 900 programs, not only throughout the Bay Area but also across the United States and beyond. The Rex Foundation mission is to help secure a healthy environment, promote individuality in the arts, provide support to critical and necessary social services, assist others less fortunate than ourselves, protect the rights of indigenous people and ensure their cultural survival, build a stronger community, and educate children and adults everywhere. More on the Rex Foundation at www.rexfoundation.org.
