[0001] The present invention relates to digital printing, and in particular to a network based, print-on-demand system that adapts its display format and offered capabilities to different users.
[0002] Conventional electrophotographic copiers are stand-alone machines that receive documents from users, either individually or in bulk, and photocopy these on an immediate basis. The copier can serve no more than a single person at a time, and copy output is local-that is, copies are dispensed directly from the machine as they are produced. As a result, a photocopier can create a significant bottleneck in office operations. Users must wait their turn to operate the machine, which cannot prioritize jobs in terms of length or urgency; the copier simply responds to whomever pushes its 'start' button. If multiple copies have been printed, these must be individually distributed to their recipients, some of whom may be physically located far from the machine. Moreover, because copiers are optical devices, multiple copies require redundant scans of the same document; this repetitive operation takes time, and loss of the copy image as it is applied to paper means that the user must wait in line until the copier becomes free, re-feeding the job in order to obtain additional copies later on.
[0003] The advent of high-speed scanners and laser printers has opened the possibility of using computational resources to automate the printing process. A digital printing system may include, for example, series of physically dispersed scanners and printers connected to a central print server through a computer network. Through the print server, a user designates a scanner to receive an input document and a printer at which output is to be generated, as well as the characteristics of that output (number of copies, paper type, etc., depending on the capabilities of the selected printer).
[0004] In accordance with such "print-on-demand" systems, a document need only be scanned into digital form a single time; it is saved as a file on the print server (or, more typically, on a file-server computer accessible to the print server via the network) and transmitted by the print server to the selected printer in a format readable by its print engine. The print server also transmits instructions concerning the output characteristics. Once again, the data representing the document is transmitted only once.
[0005] By transferring supervisory responsibility for a print job to a computer and execution responsibility for input and output to distributed, dedicated devices, new capabilities, as well as substantial efficiencies, can be realized. A user may have access to any of multiple print servers, all of which maintain status information concerning the system's scanners and printers. Accordingly, the user need not await the availability of a central photocopier; instead, she is free to determine, via the print server, which scanner and which printer have the smallest backlog, or which are most conveniently located. In effect, the printers and scanners can be collectively utilized as a non-stop production printing environment.
[0006] Moreover, storage of input documents in digital form affords processing options more sophisticated than mere reproduction. The documents may be altered using, for example, text-processing or image-processing software applications at any time; it is not necessary to repeat the input process in order to vary the format of the output. Digitally represented documents may also be sent to destinations other than local printers, e.g., to other network-connected users via local e-mail, or to an Internet server for remote distribution or printing on a remote printer.
[0007] As the number of resources—scanners, printers, communication links, etc.—accessible to users of a digital printing system expands, the server's user interface can become quite complex and difficult to use. The number of resources may be large, and not all users necessarily have access to every available resource. Indeed, new users may not even be familiar with the operation of various features, having been trained on standard copiers. An interface tailored to the new user, affording access only to particular resources and the status of his jobs, is unsuited to more experienced or supervisory personnel; yet more complex interfaces reflecting the full diversity of available options and resources may prove cumbersome for any user to operate.
[0008] Brief Summary of the Invention
[0009] The present invention provides an adaptive interface for use in conjunction with a digital printing system that identifies a user and, based on the user's identity, self-configures into a command-responsive display expressly tailored to the user. In other words, the interface displays those system resources most relevant to the particular user based on his authorization level, prior usage patterns, position within an organization, whether he has jobs pending, or any other characteristics relevant to system utilization. The user is free to directly control the resources presented in the user interface, e.g., by touching icons on the display corresponding to different selections.
[0010] The print server generating the interface accepts and implements the user's commands, sending appropriate instructions to designated resources to effectuate selected actions. The print server also acquires status information from various resources, determining, for example, the backlog queue associated with particular printers and their operational status. The interface may display this status information to the user, and may guide the user in taking ameliorative action to restore a resource to operational effectiveness.
[0011] Thus, in a representative embodiment, an adaptive interface in accordance with the present invention is implemented by means of a computer and comprises means for establishing a user's identity (e.g., a badge reader, keypad or touch-screen display through which the user enters an identifier); a database for storing user characteristics; means for causing display (e.g., on a CRT display having touch-screen capability) of a plurality of interface components, which include a representation of at least one available system resource, based on the user characteristics stored in the database; and means for receiving user commands affecting at least one displayed resource. Most simply, the database includes a field somehow categorizing the user, and the interface generates and displays graphical representations of the system resources most likely to be of use.
[0012] The database is easily expanded beyond this rudimentary capability, however, to include information such as the resources accessed by the user during his previous session, which are displayed during the current session; resources frequently accessed by the user, even if not accessed during the previous session; a user authority level, which affects not only what is initially displayed, but what the user is able to access through interaction with the display; an interaction language for users whose native language is other than English; a "shortcut" —to stored, network-accessible user document files that the user may select for printing; a record of the user's most recent job request; records of previous job requests as yet unfulfilled; and entertainment preferences specifying audiovisual content to be presented to a user awaiting fulfillment of a job request.
[0013] The user makes selections based on the options and resources presented to him based on the database. Selections may be communicated to the system by means of a touch screen, which allows the user to interact directly with the displayed options; of course, other command-entry facilities such as keypads or voice-recognition systems can also be used to advantage. The pattern of the user's interaction with the interface in making a selection and entering data relevant thereto (e.g., the number of copies, the printer location, etc.) is a matter of design choice, and is implemented by conventional interface scripts as well known in the art.
[0014] The user need not be physically present at the server with which he interacts. For example, the server may support Internet communications via a suitable data-exchange protocol, such as the HyperText Transfer Protocol used in connection with the World Wide Web (hereafter the "web"). In accordance with this approach, the print server maintains a web page that it serves over the Internet to users contacting the server by means of a web browser. Using conventional CGI scripting and image-map techniques, the web page permits a remote user to make selections based on graphical representations; the user selects elements of the graphical display using a position-sensing device (typically a mouse), and the web page communicates the selection (actually, the two-dimensional coordinates of the selection) to the print server, which takes appropriate action based thereon.
[0015] Some representative implementation scenarios will illustrate the flexibility and capabilities of the invention. In an office environment, a print server in accordance with the invention may be equipped with an ultrasonic or infrared sensor, activating the interface upon detection of an approaching user. The server registers the approach of a user and launches the interface, which prompts the user to identify herself by swiping her employee badge through a card reader.
[0016] In response to this action, the interface consults the database and determines the user's authorization, usage profile, and personal characteristics or preferences. Suppose, for example, that the user's previous interactions with the system have been limited to copying documents using a high-speed scanner located next to the print server, with the output generated by a printer located near the user's office. The interface generates, on a display equipped with touch-screen capability, the simple image of a copier keypad specifying these resources. The user touches buttons corresponding to the number of copies desired, and places the pages to be copied in the automatic document feed of the scanner. The interface receives image data from the nearby scanner, forwards it to the designated printer, and notifies the user when the job is complete and available for pickup.
[0017] Should the user desire an operation other than that expected by the interface, she is free to operate the interface to display the various options open to her given her authorization level. Her selection of a different option will be recorded in the system database and utilized in creating the interface display the next time the user identifies herself to the system. For example, the user may choose to store the digital scan file in a particular network-accessible folder, or forward the file to other employees via e-mail.
[0018] Moreover, the interface may be equipped to interact with users in multiple languages, and the database configured to store a preferred interaction language for each user. The database may also provide entertainment to the user as she waits for the job to complete, once again based on preference criteria stored in the database. This feature may allow for the introduction of advertising; for example, the user may select a commercial broadcaster whose transmissions are provided in real-time directly over the interface.
[0019] In another scenario, the print server is accessed by a remote terminal configured as a kiosk in a college bookstore. Students identify themselves by means of their ID cards, and the database keeps track of on-account funds that students may apply to copying or printing jobs. For example, students may create document files in their dorms using network computers, storing the files in network-accessible locations (e.g., on a central file server). Interacting with the kiosk, students designate files to be printed and destination locations, approving expenditures of funds from their accounts to cover the costs. Similarly, students may request printouts of reading materials prepared by faculty.
[0020] These capabilities could also be made available to students on network computers in their dorms, using, for example, an "intranet" arrangement that allows students to remotely interact with a central print server. In this scenario, the interface display is provided to students as a web page particularized according to the student's database information.
[0021] The foregoing discussion will be understood more readily from the following detailed description of the invention, when taken in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, in which:

[0024]FIG. 3 is a flow chart illustrating procedural operation of the in conjunction with a web-based interface;
[0025]FIG. 4 depicts a digital-copier interface in accordance with the present invention; and
[0026]FIG. 5 depicts an options interface in accordance with the present invention.
[0027] A representative hardware embodiment of a print server in accordance with the present invention is shown in FIG. 1, and includes a central processing unit ("CPU") 110 and a series of computer storage devices indicated generally at 112, 114. Ordinarily, storage device 112 provides nonvolatile mass storage, and may be, for example, a hard disk and/or CD-ROM drive. Storage 116 comprises a combination of volatile random-access memory ("RAM") for temporary storage and processing, and non-volatile, programmable read-only memory ("PROM") that contains permanent aspects of the system's operating instructions.
[0028] CPU 110 and computer storage devices 112, 114 communicate over a bidirectional internal system bus 118. To facilitate rapid execution of the graphical operations hereinafter described, the system may contain a graphics or image-processing board 120; this is a standard component well-known to those skilled in the art.
[0029] The system 100 also comprises a series of input devices including, at-least, an ID reader 125 that detects and transmits an identifier code contained on a card or badge carried by the user and presented to the device 125, e.g., by swiping through a slot. An input device 128 also connected to I/O bus 118 permits the user to provide information to the system. Preferably, input device 128 is a touch screen that both provides a visual display and allows the user to manually designate information or select particular areas on the display, thereby providing an integrated input/display facility.
[0030] Storage 114 contains a series of functional blocks or modules that implement the functions performed by system 100 through operation of CPU 110. A user interface module 140 renders graphical components on touch screen 128, and interprets the raw, two-dimensional touch data provided by touch screen 128; that is, user interface 140 assigns meaning to the user's gestural interactions with touch screen 128 based on the displayed graphical components.
[0031] A control block 142 contains computer-executable instructions for assembling the graphical components of touch screen 128 (which are presented by means of user interface module 140) based on the user's identifier, and for implementing the actions requested by the user. Control block 142 may select some of the graphical depictions generated by user interface 140 from a graphics library 145 stored on device 112, or may in some cases directly issue rendering instructions to user interface 140.
[0032] In the case of Internet connections, data exchange with a user (or simultaneously with multiple users) is typically effected over the web by means of web pages rather than a conventional user interface. In this case storage device 112 contains a series of web page templates 147, which are implemented as formatting (mark-up) instructions and associated data, and/or so-called "applet" instructions that cause a properly equipped remote computer to present a dynamic display. Management and transmission of a selected web page 147 is handled by a web server module 170, which allows system 100 to function as a web server.
[0033] Control block 142 obtains user-specific information from a database 152 stored on device 112, and stores the information in a data partition 153. Database 152 is organized into records consisting of sets of fields or cells, each record corresponding to a particular user; each field of a record corresponds to a user characteristic and may or may not contain data, as described in greater detail below. Control block 142 may also write data to database 152 during and at the conclusion of the user's session with system 100.
[0034] Storage 114 also includes an operating system 155, which directs the execution of low-level, basic system functions such as memory allocation, file management and operation of storage device 112. A network communication block 160 provides programming to connect with a computer network 165, which may be a local-area network ("LAN"), a wide-area network ("WAN"), or the Internet. Communication module 160 drives a network interface 167, which contains data-transmission circuitry to transfer streams of digitally encoded data over the communication lines defining network 165.
[0035] Also connected to network 165 are a series of resources to which system 100 (and, therefore, a user of system 100) has access. These may include a series of document scanners representatively indicated at 170 1, 170 2; a series of high-speed, high-capacity laser printers representatively indicated at 172 1, 172 2; a file server 175, which contains high-capacity mass storage; and a mail server 177, which transmits text and documents to other network-connected machines as e-mail.
[0036] The operation of system 100 is best understood with reference to FIGS. 2 and 3, which illustrate the procedures implemented by control block 142 (FIG. 1) for conventional and web interfaces, respectively. Presentation of an identifier to ID reader 125 triggers execution of the control program, indicated at 200 in FIG. 2. In the first step 205, the user's identifier is read, and database 152 is consulted to find the user's record (step 210). If the record is not found (step 215), the user is informed that his identifier is invalid, and the program aborts (step 220).
[0037] If the user's database record is successfully retrieved, the program determines whether it is complete—that is, whether all fields have data. If not, the user is asked to provide additional information (step 230). In a representative implementation, the database records include a user authority level; allowed system resources for the user, given his authority level; resources accessed by the user during his previous session; resources frequently accessed by the user, even if not accessed during the previous session; an interaction language for users whose native language is other than English; a shortcut to network-accessible user document files that the user may select for printing; the user's most recent job request; previous job requests as yet unfulfilled; and entertainment preferences specifying audiovisual content to be presented while the user awaits fulfillment of a job request.
[0038] The program then selects options and information to be presented to the user and, using graphics library 145 (FIG. 1), formats a display configured specifically for the user, given the current state of the information in his record (step 235). At the same time, the program queries the resources identified for this user to determine their current availability (step 240). Suppose, for example, that the user's database record reveals that he typically utilizes the system only for digital copying. In this case, program 200 first determines whether this user has any uncompleted jobs, and reports the status of such jobs and/or the date and time of the user's most recently completed job.
[0039] The program may then generate (on display 128) the interface 400 shown in FIG. 4. The graphical entities presented on interface 400 includes a status window 410, which initially displays the scanner and printer most likely to be requested by the user, based on his current physical location and/or the contents of the user's database record. If, for example, the user typically employs the scanner located next to the print server on which the system is implemented ("Scanner 1") for output on the printer nearest his office ("Printer 7"), this information would appear in status window 410. If the user wishes to change this information, he can touch the "MAIN" icon 415, which is interpreted by user interface 140 (FIG. 1) and passed to the program 200 as an instruction (step 245) to bring up the main menu, which allows the user to select different resources and/or different operations.
[0040] The program may also permit the user to change the parameters associated with the displayed resource. For example, the displayed keypad 420 allows the user to select only the number of copies; the OPTIONS interface shown in FIG. 5 may permit him to vary characteristics associated with the printer or the scanned image. To activate this interface, the user touches the "OPTIONS" icon. The OPTIONS interface 500 allows the user to select the printing format (one-sided or two-sided copies), as well as to vary the finishing characteristics at the printer (print quality, contrast, darkness, etc.) and the characteristics of the scanned image (color balance, gamma, sharpness, etc.).
[0041] With renewed reference to FIGS. 2 and 4, the user eventually selects an option designating an action (step 250). For example, the user may select a number of copies using keypad 420, then touch the "COPY" button 430 to request that the documents in the feeder of Scanner 1 be digitized and output to Printer 7. In response to this request, program 200 first determines whether additional resources are required (step 255). Although in this case the answer is negative, program 200 is configured to query, as necessary, any additional resources (step 260) in order to determine their availability (step 265). If the requested resources are not available, the program reports this information to the user, who is invited either to await resource availability or to select alternative options.
[0042] If additional resources are either available or unneeded, program 200 takes the requested action (step 270), sending the digital data acquired by Scanner 1(as adjusted by the user by means of interface 500) to Printer 7, along with executable instructions as to number of copies and any printing adjustments requested by the user. The user's database record is updated based on the requested job and the resources involved (step 275). As the user waits for confirmation that the job to complete, program 200 provides the audiovisual content specified in the user's record (step 280).
[0043] If the user selects the "COPY & SAVE" button 435 rather than COPY button 430, the user is also provided with the ability to save the digitized document data on file server 175 (FIG. 1); for example, a network user will typically maintain one or more personal folders on the network file server, so will be accorded the option of saving the document in one of these folders (but not someone else's folder). The COPY & SAVE interface might also give the user the option of e-mailing the document via e-mail server 177, and/or converting a scanned document into text characters using optical character recognition software.
[0044] A web embodiment 300 of the control program is shown in FIG. 3. In this case, the user and the print server may be located in different buildings or even in different countries, communicating by messages sent over the Internet. In accordance with standard Internet convention, messages are initially broken up into data packets, each of which receives a destination address according to a consistent protocol, and which are reassembled upon receipt by the target computer. A commonly accepted set of protocols for this purpose are the Internet Protocol, or IP, which dictates routing information; and the transmission control protocol, or TCP, according to which messages are actually broken up into IP packets for transmission for subsequent collection and reassembly. TCP/IP connections are quite commonly employed to move data across telephone lines. Alternatively, for consistency with the increasingly utilized Internet, TCP/IP can be implemented as the exchange protocol on a LAN (which may be termed an "intranet").
[0045] The Internet supports a large variety of information-transfer protocols; the web represents one of these. Web-accessible information is identified by a uniform resource locator or "URL," which specifies the location of the file in terms of a specific computer and a location on that computer. Any Internet "node" —that is, a computer with an IP address (e.g., a server permanently and continuously connected to the Internet, or a client that has connected to a server and received a temporary IP address)—can access the file by invoking the proper communication protocol and specifying the URL. Typically, a URL has the format http://<host>/<path>, where "http" refers to the HyperText Transfer Protocol, "host" is the server's Internet identifier, and the "path" specifies the location of the file within the server. Each "web site" can make available one or more web "pages" or documents, which are formatted, tree-structured repositories of information, such as text, images, sounds and animations.
[0046] Thus, in step 305, the print server receives a query sent by the user (or, more specifically, a web browser running as an active process on the user's computer) using http. From the query, the program 300 determines the user's Internet address (step 310) and, by reference to the database, the user's physical location (step 315). It should be emphasized that the database need not reside on the same computer as the print server with which the user communicates; instead, the database may reside on a central server accessed by several print servers by means of a TCP/IP protocol. If the record is not found (step 320), the user is informed that his identifier is invalid, and the program aborts (step 322).
[0047] If the user's database record is successfully retrieved and is found to be incomplete (step 325), the user is asked to provide additional information in step 330. This is accomplished by transmitting to the user's browser a new web page containing an interactive form that the user fills out; the user submits the completed form to the print server, thereby causing the web page to transmit the information in the data fields. Receipt by the server of this information activates a CGI application that reads the information and adds it to the database (step 335).
[0048] Given the current state of the user's database record (and, possibly, the physical location of the user), program 300 selects options and information to be presented to the user. Using web page templates 147, the program formats a web page display configured specifically for the user (step 340). Program 300 also queries the resources identified for this user to determine their current availability (step 345). The program then serves the web page, which may contain resource availability information, to the user (step 350). In step 355, the program receives instructions from the user based on his interaction with the web page. This is accomplished by code in the web page that recognizes the x,y coordinates of locations on the displayed screen that the user designates (typically through mouse clicks), sending this information to the server. A CGI application on the server determines the meaning of the designated location based on the configuration of the web page that had been presented to the user. If action is required, program 300 determines whether additional resources are required (step 365). If so, the program queries any necessary additional resources (step 367) in order to determine their availability (step 370).
[0049] If additional resources are either available or unneeded, the requested action is taken (step 375). Once again, the resources accessed by program 300 may not be local to the print server; indeed, they may be physically closer to the user. Action may be effected by the print server using messages sent to the various resources by means of TCP/IP connections.
[0050] Finally, the database is updated (step 380) and entertainment provided to the user (e.g., by means of streaming audio and/or video obtained through an Internet connection to a commercial provider). Completion of the requested action is reported to the user by means of a new or updated web page.
[0051] It will therefore be seen that the foregoing approach to distributed digital printing provides substantial flexibility in terms of user specificity and resource allocation. The terms and expressions employed herein are used as terms of description and not of limitation, and there is no intention, in the use of such terms and expressions, of excluding any equivalents of the features shown and described or portions thereof, but it is recognized that various modifications are possible within the scope of the invention claimed.

I am caring, compassionate and driven. Always ready for a challenge but also enjoy the simpler things in life. Looking forward to sharing laughter, good times and all the things life has to offer with that special person. I enjoy learning new cultures and making friends with people from all over the world and that is what makes traveling that much more interesting for me. ( of course getting away from some of the brutal winter months is enough motivation in itself). I think the ability to make connections with others whether platonic or otherwise is one of the greatest gifts we have and we should take full advantage. It obviously adds something quite valuable in our lives and so many look for it. Enough with the philosophy....now for the everyday me. I Joke around a lot. We all need to laugh or we will simply loose it in this day and age. Serious when I need to be. ( or when someone decides I am having too nice a day and pushes buttons. Lol ) Would like to meet someone who can be goofy at times yet has that switch to turn it off ( and know when to). Needs to have some ambition, doesn't have to be anything too out of this world but some mission in life...something that makes them tick. Know how to be simple yet sophisticated....but most of all simply has a good heart. That will get thing off the blocks....after that who knows. A lot can happen !

Scenic Cruise, Saint Augustine
3 Reviews
3 Reviews
Aboard Victory III offers cruises thru the waters of Historic St. Augustine. The cruises leave daily from Municipal Marina, south of Bridge of Lions in downtown St. Aug.
The tour lasts about 1.5 hours and are narrated by a captain that describes landmarks and natural sites of interest.
Relax and enjoy a one hour and fifteen minute cruise aboard the Victory III. Narrated tours by the Captain provide an incomparable way to view St. Augustine's historical landmarks and natural sites of interest.
This is a nice way to spend an hour when you're tired of looking at historical sites and desire a different kind of sightseeing.
A nice way to view the city of Saint Augustine. It has great views of the skyline and Castillo San Marcos. I even saw a dolphin in the bay the day I was there.

Try these mind games and put your brain through its paces.
How to play: Using the given letters no more than once, make as many words as possible of four or more letters, always including the central letter. Capitalised words and plurals are disallowed. You can also make one word using all the nine available letters.
How did you rate? 10 words: Average; 13 words: Good; 16 words: Very good; 19 words: Excellent
How to play: Beginning with the E in the upper left-hand corner, follow a continuous path to find a list of London Underground stations. The trail passes through each and every letter once, and may twist up, down or sideways, but never diagonally.
How to play: Shade the least number of cells so the following three rules are satisfied: 1. Numbers must not appear more than once in each row or column. 2. Shaded (black) cells are never adjacent in a row or a column. 3. Empty (white) cells create a single continuous area, undivided by painted cells.
How to play: Start on the left with the given number and work your way across following the instructions in each cell. Each puzzle should be completed in about 30 seconds.
How to play: Masyu is a charming but sophisticated puzzle where you are required to 'string' black and white 'pearls' on a line so they form a continuous loop. The line can only be horizontal or vertical. On unmarked cells, the line can enter and exit in any two of the four sides of a cell. The trick and the trouble starts when the pearls are adjacent to one another. There are two rules according to the colour of the pearl: Black pearls: A line going through a black pearl must enter and exit at right angles on the pearl. It must also extend straight for at least two squares in the chosen direction. White pearls: A line goes straight through a white pearl. In one or both directions the line must perform a turn immediately after it exits the white pearl. It is optional for it to turn in both cells after the pearl.
Sudoku X
How to play Sudoku X is a subtle variation of the popular Sudoku puzzle. Each row, column and box must still be filled with the numbers one to nine exclusively, but in addition, the two diagonals marked with grey boxes must also be filled with one to nine.
Jigsaw Sudoku
How to play: Fill in the rows and columns and boxes with one to nine without the same number appearing in any row, column or box. But, in a Jigsaw sudoku, the boxes are rather strange shapes. The same sudoku strategies apply plus some interesting new ones.

Was The Voice's Blake Shelton Married When He Met Met Current Wife Miranda Lambert?
Anyone who's tuned in for an episode of The Voice knows Blake Shelton's "wafe" is country superstar Miranda Lambert. Though they may appear to have a fairytale romance, a lot of fans, us included, didn't realize Blake was married to another woman when they met!
Blake had been married to Kaynette Williams for over two years when he and Miranda first met while filming a duet special for CMT in 2005. Six months after the special aired, Blake had divorced Kaynette and was seeing Miranda. Scandalous!
What gives? Did Blake start seeing Miranda during his marriage to Kaynette? Neither of them have publicly copped to any infidelity, but Miranda did come pretty close in an interview with Hoda Kotb on Dateline last year.
Visit msnbc.com for breaking news, world news, and news about the economy
"I knew better," she said of her initial relationship with Blake. "Like, this is off limits. My parents are private investigators for God's sake. I've seen this my whole life — affairs. Of all people to know better, I know better than this."
It sounds like Miranda was definitely guilty of having strong feelings toward Blake, but did they act on it?
In an interview with Parade last August, Blake called his first marriage "the worst experience of my life." That's a pretty strong statement, coming from someone who used to rock a mullet.
Despite his presumed indiscretions, there's just something about Blake that we can't shake. He and Miranda are a super cute couple and it's clear how in love they are. If you don't believe us, check out this video of their first performance together, singing "You're the Reason God Made Oklahoma" on CMT's 100 Greatest Duets special.
If that's not the look of two star-crossed lovers, we don't know what is.

Florida cornerback Marcus Roberson will miss the remainder of the season after injuring his neck at South Carolina. Coach Will Muschamp announced Roberson's injury Monday, saying the freshman from Fort Lauderdale is still being evaluated. But Muschamp adds that the injury is not career threatening and that Roberson should be fine in four to six weeks. Muschamp says Roberson strained his neck against the Gamecocks and that the team's medical staff is ''just taking precautionary measures.'' Muschamp says Roberson will return for spring football. Roberson started every game this season, recording 22 tackles and an interception. Without him, Jaylen Watkins, Cody Riggs, Loucheiz Purifoy and Moses Jenkins will vie for the starting spot.

Does this mean your fat? is it that bad?I think I'm to fat... I want to be sure :)Please and Thank You!
I think he means your sweet..
thick is usually a good thing and just means you have some meat on your bones, like thicker legs and butt. So it probably wasn't meant in a bad way.Chunky, may be taken in a bad way though. Like maybe he thinks you are a little bigger than he likes.
It means that he's calling you fat.
It means chubby, but in a good way, usually =] Thick normally means stupid though, LOL.
The guy who made that comment has no respect.
It means, exactly, that he's an asshole.
Chunky - bad fat (not flattering)Thick - fat in all the "right" places so to speak (flattering)
chunky=lower end of fatthick=toned but got meat on you
Yesit is bad,because he is making a fun of you..When he says these words again just break his teeth he won't say it again ..

All of these things that define the traditional institutions that made this country great, that's what the Romney campaign was about.
It was rejected.
In favor of entitlements.

Does that concern you in anyway, that the potential for nothing to happen of any significance in the next two years exists? Surely it would be better for the person who gets into the hot seat, to be capable of making the waves and doing the work?
Not at all. I'd rather have them sit idle, instead of moving for the sake of moving, and ultimately wrecking the country. My grandfather didn't die fighting fascism only to have it thrive now simply because people want handouts for crackheads or corporations (pick your poison with each party). Honestly, I think gridlock is the best bet.

That's of course if one assumes that the average user considers a score of 5 to be average. Since the "Average" remains subjective, varying from reviewer to reviewer even among professionals, I think one should probably take the ratings with a gain of salt and instead read what different reviewers are actually saying.

The main revenue for game reviewing websites are the incomes from games advertisement, with EA and Blizzard being the biggest and most precocious customers. Same goes for shelf space in video-game stores and malls by the way, small publishers have pay more for worst placing than the big fishes for top shelves, and are not treated with the same regard. One simply cannot afford to trash a game that was made (or is being published ) by a hand that feeds you... The publishers could write the reviews of their games by themselves actually, there wouldn't be much difference between thise reviews and those called "professional" (if you can make money on something, it is your profession, therefore those are called "professional". This has nothing to do with objectivity or high level of competence).
Users are not paid by anyone to write about the game, just the opposite, they usual paid for the product they are reviewing. I find metacritic to be a great source of true info about games, you just have to now how to read it right – simply skip all those 0 and 10 one sentence reviews, it is just the regular fanboys/haters war not worth a damn second of attentiion. Find these walls of text that were written by people who revived more than one game. Thise IMO are the most objective reviews you can find out there actually.

There is nothing subjective about there being more 10s than 0s, since somebody who gave the game a 10 liked it and somebody who gave it a 0 didn't.
The people actually only going to one extreme, or the other are actually making the aggregate more accurate than they'd like it to be.

Make worlds not stories
I can only say I entirely disagree that critics are suited to rate a game of any length (which is any mmo, and other quality games).
A professional critic has a set amount of hours to spend on a game, and that amount is barely enough to scratch the surface - The result is the review is superficial and often based on the first 20 hours of gameplay, add to that all marketing bombardment on them and alot are mimicking other reviewers. These guys have a tendency to use their ears too much (marketing on all levels), and their OWN eyes, sense and analysing skills too little.
Well, for alot of players professional reviews can be the thruth because they are also only ever scrathing the surface, but for more dedicated gamers those reviews are .. inaccurate and lacking important (for them) details.
A gamer ^can^ be a much better reviewer for the exact opposite reasons. A gamer has time to test the game for replayability and all kind of corners in a game, but the downside is it will always be done from that gamer's perspective regarding taste and previous experiences. Loads are offcourse just people with broken expectations, blind faith and so on, but still ..
Find the right players review and you find much more truth than most professional reviews.
Rating by number is somewhat meaningless - Read the text, thats where you get some information. professional or user review.

Yeah, and I say the other side of the coin is just fine...
Value is a legitimate consideration. So it is part of the equation, both how a game is itself and in relation to similar titles.
"Professional" reviewers, by and large, do not pay for their copies. On top of that, they work for or are paid by sites that advertise these same games (like this site).
So, there is even a bigger bias in that direction, to put their interest over that of the consumer.
This is why I do not trust "professional reviewers" worth a damn anymore, at least normal players/forum posters are "like me" and it is not in their financial interest to promote a game, any game, for reasons other than it was enjoyable to them.
A paid opinion, is more biased on its face, than any other.

That fact that people will pay for any crap title only encourges the devs/pubs to continue to put out the same, uninspired, half finshed, crap game that everyone has played 5 times before.

Have ANY game devs EVER rode a horse?
I would like to point out that while there are a lot of articulate posts that are negative the entire metacritic score is heavily skewed by the first day when THOUSANDS of people coulden't play in the first twelve hours after the midnight release and rated the game Zero.
And honestly the randomly generated maps and the fact that you get different events and minibosses each time seems to never get mentioned by the negative reviews.........

If a game doesnt score higher than 7.5 metacritic user score, I simply won't buy or play the game. I trust the opinion of fellow gamers over professional opinions. That being said, diablo 3 is not on my list of games to play due to being a 4.1. You can argue against it however you want, however, many players are dissatisfied with their experiences playing this game. You can dismiss the vocal minority for whatever reason, but it exists to criticize. Sometimes the majority is wrong, such as support for the nazi party the led to WWII. Now this is an exteme example, but dismissing the minority is never healthy just becasue they don't share your beliefs.

I love these types of threads. First I feel vindicated that I'm not alone. Then, I get the entertainment from fanbois saying that gamers don't have perspective, and can't tell if a game is good or not. They come up with all sorts of excuses. From blaming gamers lack of intelligence to "the people who like are playing" to whatever else they can conjure up in their fanboi heads.
Its the same thing over and over. Why don't we have these types discussions with games like Skyrim, or ME or Dragon Age? Where it seems the overwhelming majority are in agreement that those are some amazing games. Answer: because those are actually good games.

There's a single reason why there is such a difference in user reviews and critic reviews and that's because critics are paid to keep their biased opinions out of the equation. It's not because critics are blind or paid to write good reviews for certain companies, but because it's their job. So don't blame the critics for not agreeing with you when they're simply doing their job to report their judgement of the game based on actual evidence and real criticisms rather than simply share their biased opinions, as users tend to do.
This isn't even getting into how wrong some of your statements are, especially the 'customization issues' considering Blizzard just released information that the most played spec is currently played by .7% of the population.

You're over simplifying the situation from what it really is to make it appear like your point of view is correct.
Yes gaming sites make money of advertisements for games that they review. However, to suggest that the reviewers on those sites are impacted by this is purely speculative and absolutely without merit due to lack of proof. I mean it's not like these guys just simply write a sentence stating the game is great and give it a score. They break down the game and report issues/bugs as well as innovative features. So it's pretty difficult to even try to believe that their reviews are being tampered with by companies paying for good reviews when the reviews themselves are considerably in depth and with rational criticisms/praise. It's one of the most ridiculous conspiracy theories I've ever heard to be honest.
Even if you do consider that circumstance as being true though I'd take the word of any professional reviewer over any random player who so obviously can't remove their bias when writing a review that it makes them look childish.

Would you as a company pay a source to put up ads that gave your product a 4/10 review? One would require iron balls and maybe a willingness to skip a meal or two to bash a major release and be completely honest.
Just my opinion, D3 isn't a terrible game or just a cash grab but it isn't an 8.9 at all. A 7.9 would be very generous considering the issues the game launched with and the features removed from the game before launch. A 7 would be honest for someone that has a love for the action RPG genre and D3 is most likely a 6 or lower for the vast majority of the people that boughtt it and therefore the 4.1 user review.
Users aren't paid to hype games and therfore much more honest. They aren't always right either as fun is subjective.
EDIT: and as reference for gams that aren't bad and over hyped.
Tribes: Ascend 87 to 80
TERA 78 to 75
Postal 3, 24 to 30
Legend of Grimrock 82 to 84

This isn't their job, and their 'internet reputation' when criticizing theyr'e so obsessively biased opinion is hardly worth losing sleep over when they can trash talk a game to oblivion with their biased opinions without fear of losing their job based on writing a poor review.
They're also the ones who buy the games as well, and as of late the community as a whole is overly critical, especially when it comes to big name companies and games.
You're also over thinking the whole advertising scheme of gaming companies. I've seen dozens of poorly rated games advertised on gaming sites that have given them poor reviews. If the marketing of a game were only reliant on advertising on sites that praise their game then we'd rarely see any ads on gaming sites at all. This site is a great example. Tera Online received a very average review from this site who has a very critical community when it comes to MMOs, but did that stop the advertising of the game from this site? Of course not, when thousands of people visit it daily it's well worth the advertising regardless of what score they may have given the game. A game's popularity isn't nearly as reliant on critic reviews as it is advertising (obviously not counting independent games), to think otherwise is a bit foolish.

Users base their opinions on expectations created before playing the game.
Professional reviewers base their reviews on comparisons with other games in the genre.
Sometimes, there are professionals who get paid to write a good review. Sometimes, professionals add too much personal touch and give a game a worse review than it should have because of their personal expectations. Generally, though, the two sentences above are true.

TERA ads have been running here a while before the review was finished. I am still certain that EME will go to the source the game them a higher score first given that both soruces are about equal on the exposure they would give them. It makes them look better and it's that simple.

Hi, my name is Bryan, I'm a Bellevue native...
Hi, my name is Bryan, I'm a Bellevue native and happily call the eastside home. Most people who know me would describe me as genuine, intelligent, easy going, a serial-prenuer, great at planning parties and BBQ'ing and fairly coordinated/athletic for a Jewish guy :). For the last 12 years or so I've focused on achieving a variety of different goals from founding and growing business(es), creating a Jewish non-profit social organization and going back to school to get an MBA. Along the road, dating was never a major priority for me but as I've achieved most of my career goals and am in a much more stable position in my life I'm realizing its time to make it a priority! In my free time I enjoy hosting parties, cooking (I make a mean candied salmon!), entertaining, and relaxed evenings out with friends. I like to keep active playing soccer, golf, racquetball and tennis depending on the season, and try to go skiing or snowboarding in the winter and play in a fun co-ed softball league in the summer! I'm looking for a fun loving girl who's interested in sharing new adventures with me! Bonus points if any of the following apply to you: 5'3" or under, Intelligent/Smart/Witty, have dimples, Jewish, 25-35, Play Tennis, Like Soccer, are a dog person, like trips to Whistler (in the summer and winter), Snow Ski/Board, have a great smile, are a closet geek/nerd/puzzle solver, Non-Gluten Free (AND Omnivorous) and can sing/karaoke

NOEL O'CALLAGHAN DIES One of the Irish bloodstock industry's leading lights Noel O'Callaghan died Sunday night, aged 77, at his home in Shankill, County Dublin. A founding member of BBA Ireland alongside the late Tom Cooper in the early 1960s, O'Callaghan served as chairman of that organization, and was instrumental in setting up its transport and insurance departments. Following Cooper's death in 1990, Noel took on a more prominent role as a bloodstock agent. He made an immediate impact when buying A.P. Indy for $2.9 million at the 1990 Keeneland July Yearling Sale on behalf of the Japanese businessman Tomonori Tsurumaki. Neil Drysdale, the Hall of Fame trainer of A.P. Indy, got to know O'Callaghan during the horse's career. "Noel was a pleasure to work with during A.P. Indy's campaign, always being very supportive and lots of fun," Drysdale commented. "He was a delightful man, full of life and enthusiasm. Our thoughts are with his family at the moment. He will be sorely missed." Bill Harrigan of Miacomet Farm, who broke and pre-trained A.P. Indy as well as fellow O'Callaghan purchases A.P. Jet (Fappiano) and Japanese Champion Lindo Shaver (Alydar) for Tsurumaki, echoed Drysdale's sentiments. "If you were lucky enough to have Noel as your friend, he was a man of very strong character, incredible loyalty and integrity, and he loved life and was a very fun man to be around," Harrigan said. He also praised O'Callaghan's horsemanship skills: "Noel was probably one of the best judges of racehorses ever," he said. "He not only had an incredibly keen eye for conformation, but Noel also had an instinct for a horse's personality and class." Drysdale recognized O'Callaghan as a "pioneer" in developing relationships with the Japanese. Among his other accomplishments, O'Callaghan developed Green Gates Farm in Lexington, Kentucky for Japanese businessman Mitsuo Haga, and purchased G1 Irish 1,000 Guineas and G1 Eclipse S. winner Kooyonga (Ire) (Persian Bold {Ire}) for Haga. O'Callaghan put Noel Murphy, now manager of Castle Park Farm, in charge of Green Gates at the farm's inception. "Noel O'Callaghan put me into a managerial job at a very young age, and I respected it very much," said Murphy. "I had a great working relationship with him, and learned an awful lot from him." O'Callaghan is survived by his wife Yvonne and daughters Elva, Annabelle and Nicola.

If you own a business or own a product that you want potential consumers to find, you absolutely MUST learn about Web marketing or SEO. I know you don't have time…but read on. Not understanding SEO is not allowing your business to grow, and every professional book I've ever referred to for guidance has taught me, if you don't change…failure will eventually follow. But that is not to be referenced as a negative thing. By all means, your glass is always half full in business and in life!

Originally written on The Fake Football | Last updated 7/19/13
Welcome to our 2013 Tennessee Titans Team Preview. To get a better understanding of what each NFL team might be up to this season we are asking local team insiders to answer a few questions for us. We talked to Zach Law, the official interviewer to the fantasy football pundits. You can check him out all over the webs, but Zach On Sports is his home base. And be sure to follow him on the Twitter hereish @Zach_Law 1. Kenny Britt appears to be healthy, out of trouble and he is in a contract year. For a talent like his it seems he should be ready to roll, but will he Plaxico Burress himself this season? Kenny Britt is a tempting fantasy option. Four years into his career, he's just turning 25 in the first month of the season. Before last year's post-ACL effort, he averaged 17.5 yards a catch. Because of nagging injuries and the inability to avoid the fuzz when he's in New Jersey, he's never "put it all together". Now that he's in a contract year, it could happen. 60/1000/10 is possi...

SeymourVFD wants to share
some great news!
Homeowners insurance fees are based on a community fire service classification rating from the Insurance Services Office, ISO. This community rating, also referred to as a Public Protection Classification (PPC) is a 1-10 grade which includes levels of fire protection, water supply/infrastructure and 9-1-1 service. A rating of 1 is the best protection that a fire department can offer and a rating of 10 is equivalent to no fire department at all. Since 1987, Seymour's Community has been rated as a 7/9 depending on several individual factors to each home. After an extensive inspection and interview process from ISO, Seymour VFD is honored and excited to announce to our 17,000 homes & businesses that our rating has ben lowered to a 5/5x. What does this mean? This should save our community members 4%-6% on their homeowner's insurance, or an estimated $100,000 a year for our Tri-County response area.
The Insurance Professionals of Greater Knoxville
Seymour Volunteer Fire Department has continued to be a leader among their peers in providing updated equipment and increased educational opportunities to their firefighters and with community involvement. The Insurance Prfessionals of Greater Knoxville has been awarding the annual firefighter of the year since 2009. Three out of six years, Seymour Firefighters have won that award. The insurance industry recognizes the importance of partnering with our fire departments and their personnel. The improvement of Seymour's protection class in Knox, Sevier, and Blount Counties will enable our insurance companies to offer feasible products at better rates.

- Refined LOL control
- Certain dialogs cleaned up

I _want_ to like the game, but couldn't for the following reasons: 1) I experienced an absolutely terrible framerate. I have a reasonable machine that can run other, resource-expensive 3D Unity games smoothly. Given when the poor framerate of around 10-15 FPS was occurring (most of the time), and not occurring (60 FPS, rarely and when looking down or away from the…
