1. Field of the Invention
Aspects of the present system relate to computing systems. More particularly, aspects of the present invention relate to enabling programmatic access to the contents of proprietary binary documents, such as those containing electronic ink.
2. Description of the Related Art
In addition to working with text input, computers now have the ability to record and modify electronic ink. Electronic ink may be kept in its native form or may be run through an analyzer to recognize text and annotations. Software applications are integrating the use and analysis of electronic ink into their functionality, enhancing the ability of users to create and edit documents.
Proprietary binary formatted documents may be used by software applications to store some combination of drawings, text, images, and so forth. One such format is a Journal™ document which may be generated by software such as Microsoft's Windows Journal™ software application. Other proprietary binary formats may include Adobe's portable document format (PDF) or Microsoft's PowerPoint file format. Journal documents in particular allow for collecting and arranging of electronic ink alongside drawings, text, images, and so forth. While useful within Microsoft's Journal product, the proprietary and undocumented format of these files may not be easily accessible by other software applications. This may be due to such obstacles as a lack of documentation, or complex compression algorithms built into the format. Software applications, and even individual users, who wish to programmatically access the contents of a Journal document presently find it prohibitively difficult to do so. Software applications are not readily able to examine the contents of these proprietary binary documents.
Methods and systems for enabling programmatic access to the contents of proprietary binary document formats, such as Journal documents are needed.
Aspects of the present invention address one or more of the problems described above, thereby providing a way of enabling programmatic access to the contents of Journal documents.
The present invention is illustrated, by way of example and not limitation, in the accompanying figures in which like reference numerals indicate the same or similar elements and in which:
In the following description of the various embodiments, reference is made to the accompanying drawings, which form a part hereof, and in which is shown by way of illustration various embodiments in which the invention may be practiced. It is to be understood that other embodiments may be utilized and structural and functional modifications may be made without departing from the scope and spirit of the present invention.
This document is divided into sections to assist the reader. These sections include: an overview, characteristics of ink, terms, general-purpose computing environment, accessing binary documents, and a conclusion.
According to various embodiments of the invention, proprietary binary documents may contain some combination of text, images, drawings, formatting, and so forth. Journal documents in particular are electronic files which may include electronic ink (e.g., handwriting or drawings), text, images, and so forth. These documents may be created by software applications, such as Microsoft Journal™, on computers which allow for the entry of electronic ink (e.g., a tablet PC with a touch sensitive display, or a PC with a mouse or drawing tablet attached). The electronic files which store these documents may include Journal documents having a file extension of .jnt or .jtp, or other extensions.
Software developers and individual users may wish to programmatically access the contents of these proprietary binary documents. For example, a user may wish to extract all of her own handwriting (i.e., electronic ink) from one or more Journal documents. Alternatively, a desktop search agent may wish to access the textual contents of one or more Journal documents, including text recognized from electronic ink, in order to index the contents of the file(s). Aspects of the invention provide a facility for accomplishing these goals.
Characteristics of Ink
As known to users of pens, markers, crayons, pencils, and other marking implements, physical ink (the kind laid down on paper using pen and ink or other writing and drawing implements) may convey more information than a series of coordinates connected by line segments. For example, physical ink can reflect pen pressure (by the thickness of the ink), pen angle (by the shape of the line or curve segments and the behavior of the ink around discreet points), and the speed of the nib of the pen (by the straightness, line width, and line width changes over the course of a line or curve). Further examples include the way ink is absorbed into the fibers of paper or other surface it is deposited on. These subtle characteristics also aid in conveying the above listed properties. Because of these additional properties, emotion, personality, emphasis and so forth can be more instantaneously conveyed than with uniform line width between points.
Electronic ink (or ink) relates to the capture and display of electronic information captured when a user uses a stylus-based input device. Electronic ink refers to a sequence or any arbitrary collection of strokes, where each stroke is comprised of a sequence of points. The strokes may have been drawn or collected at the same time or may have been drawn or collected at independent times and locations and for independent reasons. The points may be represented using a variety of known techniques including Cartesian coordinates (X, Y), polar coordinates (r, θ), and other techniques as known in the art. Electronic ink may include representations of properties of real ink including pressure, angle, speed, color, stylus size, and ink opacity. Electronic ink may further include other properties including the order of how ink was deposited on a page (a raster pattern of left to right then down for most western languages), a timestamp (indicating when the ink was deposited), indication of the author of the ink, and the originating device (at least one of an identification of a machine upon which the ink was drawn or an identification of the pen used to deposit the ink) among other information. Among the characteristics described above, the temporal order of strokes and a stroke being a series of coordinates may primarily be used.
Electronic ink may be submitted for analysis and recognition. Ink representing words and paragraphs may be analyzed in order to determine what words are intended. In analyzing ink, alternative recognition solutions may arise. For example, a person may handwrite the word "theme," but an ink analyzer may not be sure if the ink represents the single word "theme" or the words "the me" depending on the person's handwriting. As such, an ink analyzer may use rules of grammar, the context of other nearby words, and other factors to infer a more correct analysis. In so doing, the ink may store a list of alternate words which were not selected along with the binary ink information.
The invention is operational with numerous other general purpose or special purpose computing system environments or configurations. Examples of well known computing systems, environments, and/or configurations that may be suitable for use with the invention include, but are not limited to, personal computers, server computers, hand-held or laptop devices, multiprocessor systems, microprocessor-based systems, set top boxes, programmable consumer electronics, network PCs, minicomputers, mainframe computers, distributed computing environments that include any of the above systems or devices, and the like.
The invention may be described in the general context of computer-executable instructions, such as program modules, being executed by a computer. Generally, program modules include routines, programs, objects, components, data structures, etc., that perform particular tasks or implement particular abstract data types. The invention may also be practiced in distributed computing environments where tasks are performed by remote processing devices that are linked through a communications network. In a distributed computing environment, program modules may be located in both local and remote computer storage media including memory storage devices.
With reference to
Computer 110 typically includes a variety of computer readable media. Computer readable media can be any available media that can be accessed by computer 110 and includes both volatile and nonvolatile media, removable and non-removable media. By way of example, and not limitation, computer readable media may comprise computer storage media and communication media. Computer storage media includes both volatile and nonvolatile, and removable and non-removable media implemented in any method or technology for storage of information such as computer readable instructions, data structures, program modules or other data. Computer storage media includes, but is not limited to, RAM, ROM, EEPROM, flash memory or other memory technology, CD-ROM, digital versatile disks (DVD) or other optical disk storage, magnetic cassettes, magnetic tape, magnetic disk storage or other magnetic storage devices, or any other medium which can be used to store the desired information and which can accessed by computer 110. Communication media typically embodies computer readable instructions, data structures, program modules or other data in a modulated data signal such as a carrier wave or other transport mechanism and includes any information delivery media. The term "modulated data signal" means a signal that has one or more of its characteristics set or changed in such a manner as to encode information in the signal. By way of example, and not limitation, communication media includes wired media such as a wired network or direct-wired connection, and wireless media such as acoustic, RF, infrared and other wireless media. Combinations of the any of the above should also be included within the scope of computer readable media.
The system memory 130 includes computer storage media in the form of volatile and/or nonvolatile memory such as read only memory (ROM) 131 and random access memory (RAM) 132. A basic input/output system 133 (BIOS), containing the basic routines that help to transfer information between elements within computer 110, such as during start-up, is typically stored in ROM 131. RAM 132 typically contains data and/or program modules that are immediately accessible to and/or presently being operated on by processing unit 120. By way of example, and not limitation,
The computer 110 may also include other removable/non-removable, volatile/nonvolatile computer storage media. By way of example only,
The drives and their associated computer storage media discussed above and illustrated in
The computer 110 may operate in a networked environment using logical connections to one or more remote computers, such as a remote computer 180. The remote computer 180 may be a personal computer, a server, a router, a network PC, a peer device or other common network node, and typically includes many or all of the elements described above relative to the computer 110, although only a memory storage device 181 has been illustrated in
When used in a LAN networking environment, the computer 110 is connected to the LAN 171 through a network interface or adapter 170. When used in a WAN networking environment, the computer 110 typically includes a modem 172 or other means for establishing communications over the WAN 173, such as the Internet. The modem 172, which may be internal or external, may be connected to the system bus 121 via the user input interface 160, or other appropriate mechanism. In a networked environment, program modules depicted relative to the computer 110, or portions thereof, may be stored in the remote memory storage device. By way of example, and not limitation,
In some aspects, a pen digitizer 165 and accompanying pen or stylus 166 are provided in order to digitally capture freehand input. Pen digitizer 165 may further use capacitive or resistive technologies enabling an active stylus or a passive stylus (e.g., a finger or other pointing device). Although a direct connection between the pen digitizer 165 and the user input interface 160 is shown, in practice, the pen digitizer 165 may be coupled to the processing unit 110 directly, parallel port or other interface and the system bus 130 by any technique including wirelessly. Also, the pen 166 may have a camera associated with it and a transceiver for wirelessly transmitting image information captured by the camera to an interface interacting with bus 130. Further, the pen may have other sensing systems in addition to or in place of the camera for determining strokes of electronic ink including accelerometers, magnetometers, and gyroscopes.
It will be appreciated that the network connections shown are exemplary and other means of establishing a communications link between the computers can be used. The existence of any of various well-known protocols such as TCP/IP, Ethernet, FTP, HTTP and the like is presumed, and the system can be operated in a client-server configuration to permit a user to retrieve web pages from a web-based server. Any of various conventional web browsers can be used to display and manipulate data on web pages.
A programming interface (or more simply, interface) may be viewed as any mechanism, process, protocol for enabling one or more segment(s) of code to communicate with or access the functionality provided by one or more other segment(s) of code. Alternatively, a programming interface may be viewed as one or more mechanism(s), method(s), function call(s), module(s), object(s), etc. of a component of a system capable of communicative coupling to one or more mechanism(s), method(s), function call(s), module(s), etc. of other component(s). The term "segment of code" in the preceding sentence is intended to include one or more instructions or lines of code, and includes, e.g., code modules, objects, subroutines, functions, and so on, regardless of the terminology applied or whether the code segments are separately compiled, or whether the code segments are provided as source, intermediate, or object code, whether the code segments are utilized in a runtime system or process, or whether they are located on the same or different machines or distributed across multiple machines, or whether the functionality represented by the segments of code are implemented wholly in software, wholly in hardware, or a combination of hardware and software.
Notionally, a programming interface may be viewed generically, as shown in
Aspects of such a programming interface may include the method whereby the first code segment transmits information (where "information" is used in its broadest sense and includes data, commands, requests, etc.) to the second code segment; the method whereby the second code segment receives the information; and the structure, sequence, syntax, organization, schema, timing and content of the information. In this regard, the underlying transport medium itself may be unimportant to the operation of the interface, whether the medium be wired or wireless, or a combination of both, as long as the information is transported in the manner defined by the interface. In certain situations, information may not be passed in one or both directions in the conventional sense, as the information transfer may be either via another mechanism (e.g. information placed in a buffer, file, etc. separate from information flow between the code segments) or non-existent, as when one code segment simply accesses functionality performed by a second code segment. Any or all of these aspects may be important in a given situation, e.g., depending on whether the code segments are part of a system in a loosely coupled or tightly coupled configuration, and so this list should be considered illustrative and non-limiting.
This notion of a programming interface is known to those skilled in the art and is clear from the foregoing detailed description of the invention. There are, however, other ways to implement a programming interface, and, unless expressly excluded, these too are intended to be encompassed by the claims set forth at the end of this specification. Such other ways may appear to be more sophisticated or complex than the simplistic view of
A communication from one code segment to another may be accomplished indirectly by breaking the communication into multiple discrete communications. This is depicted schematically in
In some cases, it may be possible to ignore, add or redefine certain aspects (e.g., parameters) of a programming interface while still accomplishing the intended result. This is illustrated in
It may also be feasible to merge some or all of the functionality of two separate code modules such that the "interface" between them changes form. For example, the functionality of
A communication from one code segment to another may be accomplished indirectly by breaking the communication into multiple discrete communications. This is depicted schematically in
Yet another possible variant is to dynamically rewrite the code to replace the interface functionality with something else but which achieves the same overall result. For example, there may be a system in which a code segment presented in an intermediate language (e.g. Microsoft IL, Java ByteCode, etc.) is provided to a Just-in-Time (JIT) compiler or interpreter in an execution environment (such as that provided by the .Net framework, the Java runtime environment, or other similar runtime type environments). The JIT compiler may be written so as to dynamically convert the communications from the 1st Code Segment to the 2nd Code Segment, i.e., to conform them to a different interface as may be required by the 2nd Code Segment (either the original or a different 2nd Code Segment). This is depicted in
It is also noted that the above-described scenarios for achieving the same or similar result as an interface via alternative embodiments may also be combined in various ways, serially and/or in parallel, or with other intervening code. Thus, the alternative embodiments presented above are not mutually exclusive and may be mixed, matched and combined to produce the same or equivalent scenarios to the generic scenarios presented in
Accessing Journal Documents
Aspects of the invention provide for a programmatic method for accessing the contents of proprietary binary document 201. This programmatic method may include providing a model of proprietary binary document 201 in a standardized fashion, such as extensible markup language (XML), as depicted in
Proprietary binary document 201, here, is converted to an XML stream 202 conforming to standards used for the interchange of information. XML provides a flexible architecture for information interchange between and among computers, applications, and users. Each of the components contained within proprietary binary document 201 (e.g., electronic ink, text, stationery, and so forth) are converted into textual "tags" which are delivered in structured fashion. Although not every aspect of proprietary binary document 201 may be provided in the XML tags, enough information is provided to either reconstruct the layout of the document, or at least access the information contained therein.
XML schema 301 depicted in
When creating XML stream 202, the outermost XML tag may be JournalDocument 302, which includes attributes, possibly including document version, schema version, default page width, default page height, and so forth. Contained within JournalDocument 302, there may be Stationery 303, which provides default stationery settings for pages within a Journal document. Stationery 303 may include attributes such as a background images and/or colors, title display region information, and location and style of rule lines.
In addition to Stationery 303, JournalDocument 302 may include one or more JournalPages 304. Each JournalPage 304 tag represents a page within a Journal document. JournalPage 304 may include attributes including page number, and page width and height. Within a JournalPage 304, contained tags may include Stationery 305, DocImage 306, TitleInfo 307, and Content 308. Stationery 305 is virtually identical in structure to Stationery 303, except that its attributes apply merely to the specific journal page rather than to the whole document as a default.
DocImage 306 may supply information about an image underlying a page within a Journal document. For example, a page within Journal document 201 may include a matched pair of background image and document metadata. Such combinations of background image and metadata may be generated by software acting as a print driver, such that an image of a printed page (e.g., an agenda or a presentation slide) can be automatically captured and inserted into a Journal document, where it can be annotated by a user. DocImage 306 provides a tag for conveying such underlying images. The binary contents of the images may be conveyed within this tag using an encoding scheme such as base64. TitleInfo 307 may include attributes such as title text, as well as a date and time for the page. Finally, Content 308 tag provides a collection of tags embodying the remaining content of a page in within a Journal document.
Within Content 308, a sequential collection of element tags provide information on each of the different types of content which may be displayed on a page. Many of the elements within Content 308 include location and bounding information, including a top coordinate, a left coordinate, a height, and a width. In addition, many of the content elements may also include scalar transform information describing how the element or group of elements has been resized, rotated, moved, or otherwise modified.
Paragraph 309 may contain information about a block of handwritten electronic ink. Paragraph 309 may include other tags within it, tags which break down the ink into lines and words. If the ink has been analyzed and recognized as words, then embedded within these tags, there may be additional recognition information. This may include a list of recognition alternatives, confidence levels, and so forth. Binary ink objects included with the paragraph (e.g., stroke data) may be included as base64 encoded text. Similarly, InkWord 310 may be included as free standing words within Content 308, or embedded within Paragraph 309. InkWord 310 may also include base64-encoded ink objects, alternate lists, and so forth.
Drawing 311 tags may also be included within Content 308, representing electronic ink sketches and drawings. The ink object or objects which make up a drawing may be encoded, as above, as base64 text. Text 312 tags may be included within Content 308, providing the content of text entered onto a page of JournalPage 304. Image 313 tags may provide access to any inserted pictures or images, providing the binary content of these inserted items using base64 encoding (or another encoding scheme). Flag 314 tags provide information about flags inserted into a Journal document, recognizing such useful elements as to do items.
The last two element tags which may be embedded within Content 308 are actually collections of elements. GroupNode 315 tags provide information about elements which are grouped together, and may include any of the described content elements, including other GroupNodes. Reflow 316 tags work similarly, allowing for the embedding of other elements, including other Reflow tags. Reflow 316 may be useful for handling the repositioning of content along page breaks.
A user or software application invoking a conversion of proprietary binary document 201 into XML stream 202 may receive an XML document which has been built and possibly validated against a schema such as XML schema 301. With XML stream 202, the user or software application is able to access an entirely textual form of the document. Using an XML parser, or by merely traversing the tags and text, a software application may be able to selectively access the text, ink, images, and so forth. This information may be used for searching or for creating new documents usable by other programs.
As stated above, additional aspects of the invention may provide access to the contents of proprietary binary document 201 using document models other than XML. Other standard or non-standard textual representations may be available. Additionally, the information contained in proprietary binary document 201 may be provided in one or more database tables. As stated above, other methods of enabling access to the content of proprietary binary document 201 known to those of skill in the art may also be available.
The content of proprietary binary document 201 may alternatively be provided as a collection of objects using a common interface standard (e.g., Component Object Model (COM) or Common Object Request Broker Architecture (CORBA)). The objects provided may be queried in order to derive the content of a Journal document.
An instance of JournalFile 402 may be used to represent a Journal document, and may include attributes including document name, version, default page width, and so forth. JournalFile 402 may include references to instances of Stationery 403, which includes information about background colors, title display, and location and style of rule lines. JournalFile 402 may also include a reference to an instance of PageList 405, which merely contains further references to one or more instances of JournalPage 406.
JournalPage 406, representing a page within a Journal document, may include a reference to an instance of Background 407, which provides images to be used in the background of a page. JournalPage 406 may also contain a reference to an instance of PageElements 408, which provides a collection of references to individual instances of JournalElement 409, or more precisely, to instances of subclasses of JournalElement 409.
Subclasses of JournalElement 409 may include InkElement 410, ImageElement 411, and TextElement 412. Each subclass may provide information about page location, transparency, and so forth. InkElement 410 may also provide information about a particular ink element such as handwriting or a drawing. This information may include recognition results and recognition alternates. ImageElement 411 may provide access to a binary representation of an image on a page, and provide other information about the image. Finally, instances of TextElement 412 may provide access to the text of a textual element on a page, and further provide information about formatting, and so forth.
At step 501, a request for access to proprietary binary document 201 is received. The document may be presently in memory, or may be stored as a file on a hard drive (e.g., TestFile.jnt). The request to access proprietary binary document 201 may come in the form of an application programming interface (API) call making the request. Such an API call may take as input a pathname or universal resource locator (URL) locating a file. Alternatively, the call may take as input a programmatic reference to the document in memory.
At step 502, proprietary binary document 201 is accessed. This may mean accessing proprietary binary document 201 in memory, or opening a file containing the document. At step 503, the contents of proprietary binary document 201 are traversed in order to create a representation of the contents and structure which is programmatically accessible. This representation may comprise an intermediate catalogue or model of proprietary binary document 201. The next step is selected based on the output format desired or implemented. Although two methods of enabling access to the contents of proprietary binary document 201 are provided herein, other methods may be available which are in keeping with the spirit of the invention.
At step 504, XML stream 202 is created using the contents of proprietary binary document 201. The XML may be assembled simultaneous to the content traversal of step 503, or it may occur after the contents have been catalogued. In generating XML tags, the placement of contents within a page may need to be adjusted for different coordinate systems. For example, coordinates may be converted from inches to himetric or twips. Also, binary data may be converted to a textual representation, such as base64.
At step 505, XML stream 202 is output. XML stream 202 may be output progressively as the contents of proprietary binary document 201 are being traversed and catalogued, or the entire stream may be delivered all at once. The output XML stream may be provided as a return value to an original API call, or alternatively it may be written to a file.
At step 506, as an alternative to step 504, an object collection is instantiated using the contents of proprietary binary document 201. As with XML, the objects may be instantiated simultaneous to the content traversal of step 503, or it may occur once the contents have been catalogued. At step 507, individual objects are generated using the contents of the proprietary binary document 201. Their attributes are set, and the relationships among the objects are also set. The output may be provided as a reference to a parent object, such as JournalFile 402, which in turn may contain references to other newly instantiated objects. Finally, at step 508, access to proprietary binary document 201 is ended. In the case of an open file, the file may be closed.
Once a user, application or software developer has accessed a model of proprietary binary document 201, they may modify or otherwise adjust the contents of the model and have the new contents converted back into the proprietary binary document. They may even be able to create new documents in this fashion. For example, an outputted XML stream may be modified to include new tags representing page elements. These new tags may then appear as elements within the proprietary binary document. Similarly, new objects could be added, or existing objects modified within the outputted object hierarchy discussed above. In this fashion, users and software applications may modify and create proprietary binary documents (e.g., Journal documents) without having to utilize the conventional (and possibly restrictive) interface associated with the proprietary format.
The present invention has been described in terms of illustrative embodiments thereof. Numerous other embodiments, modifications, and variations within the scope and spirit of the appended claims will occur to persons of ordinary skill in the art from a review of this disclosure. Although the software components and methods described above provide for accessing Journal documents, they may be utilized to enable access to other proprietary binary document formats which include non-textual data. Examples of other proprietary binary document formats which may benefit from these software components and methods include Adobe portable document format (PDF), Microsoft PowerPoint file format, word processing documents, and so forth.

Margaret Thatcher Projects Announces Adam Fowler Exhibition, 1/6-2/12
Margaret Thatcher Projects announces the opening of Trilogy, an exhibition of new works by artist Adam Fowler. The artist's third solo show with the gallery, Trilogy represents Fowler's most ambitious and complex work to date.
Beginning with sweeping, automatic drawings of organic lines, ellipses and circles, Fowler lays down graphite on sheet after sheet of archival paper. After the initial drawings are formed, the artist begins the work of removing all the unmarked space with an X-acto knife, tracing each arch and curve to create lacelike, skeletal objects. The sheets are then stacked one on top of another, forming dense, complex compositions. The result is neither drawing nor sculpture, but hovers in a newly carved space between the two.
"It's not the time invested in each work that I want the viewer to think about when they first see my work," explains Fowler. "Rather, I hope that they are aware of a quiet intensity and concentration that comes from a meditative state."
A recipient of the Krasner-Pollock foundation grant, Adam Fowler has exhibited drawings at the Museum of Arts and Design, NYC and the Drawing Center, NYC. His work has also been published in the Harvard Review.
The exhibition will be at the Margaret Thatcher Projects from January 6th to February 12th, with a reception on January 6th from 6 to 8 pm. For more information, visit thatcherprojects.com.

This article was previously published under Q311731
On This Page
This step-by-step article demonstrates how to display data from an Excel spreadsheet through an ASP.NET (.aspx) page by using Visual Basic .NET.
Create Sample Excel Worksheet
Create ASP.NET Sample Using Visual Basic .NETThis code sample demonstrates how to query and display information in an Excel worksheet. The following code uses the worksheet that you created in the previous section.
Additional Code ExplanationThe code sample in this article uses the Microsoft Jet OLE DB Provider to access the Excel worksheet. This code uses the following connection string to connect to the worksheet:
As the comments indicate, you must modify the path information for the specific Excel worksheet. In addition, you must set the value of the Extended Properties parameter to properly connect to the file.
Note that the connection string uses the Server.MapPath function. This function takes a path that is relative to Microsoft Internet Information Services (IIS) to a file and returns a hard disk path to that file. For example, in the Create Sample Excel Worksheet section, you create ExcelData.xls in the Web root directory, which is typically located at C:\Inetpub\Wwwroot. This also creates a subfolder named ExcelVBTest within the Wwwroot folder and a file named WebForm1.aspx within the ExcelVBTest folder.
In this example, the hard disk path to the files is as follows:
The IIS path to the files is as follows:
C drive - Inetpub - Wwwroot (which contains ExcelData.xls) - ExcelVBTest (which contains WebForm1.aspx)
In this case, the relative path from the WebForm1.aspx page to the ExcelData.xls file is "../ExcelData.xls". The "../" characters inform IIS to go up one folder level. Therefore, the code
Web Root (which contains ExcelData.xls) - ExcelVBTest (which contains WebForm1.aspx)
returns the following string:
C:\Inetpub\Wwwroot\ExcelData.xlsYou are not required to use Server.MapPath. You can also hard code this information to a specific path, or you can use any method to supply the location of the Excel file on the hard disk.

Saving Our Seas
Protecting Our Oceans for the Future
Healthy oceans are essential to our survival. They provide food, jobs, and recreation that we rely on. They create the very air we breathe. But our oceans and coasts are facing innumerable threats -- from overexploitation and pollution to ocean acidification and invasive species -- and need urgent attention. The new National Ocean Policy, adopted by President Obama in July 2010, improves the way we manage our oceans, reducing duplicative efforts and conflicting government actions, and focusing attention on the most serious issues jeopardizing ocean health. We must ensure that sufficient funding is dedicated to the National Ocean Policy to protect our oceans and coasts, and the communities and economies they support, for generations to come.

6 I am astonished that you are so quickly deserting the one who called you to live in the grace of Christ and are turning to a different gospel—
7 which is really no gospel at all. Evidently some people are throwing you into confusion and are trying to pervert the gospel of Christ.
8 But even if we or an angel from heaven should preach a gospel other than the one we preached to you, let them be under God's curse!
9 As we have already said, so now I say again: If anybody is preaching to you a gospel other than what you accepted, let them be under God's curse!
10 Am I now trying to win the approval of human beings, or of God? Or am I trying to please people? If I were still trying to please people, I would not be a servant of Christ.

In Outlook 97, Outlook 98, and Outlook 2000, the Rules wizard does not allow you to move (or in any way process) a mail item that was sent on behalf of another user. To create such a rule, you need to use custom forms and rules based on categories.
Microsoft Exchange Server gives you the ability to send mail on behalf of another user. This is done by giving the appropriate permission in the Microsoft Exchange Server Administrator program. For example, if a user called USER1 has been given such rights for USER2, then USER1 can send a message on behalf of USER2. If you want to create a rule such that all messages sent by USER1 on behalf of USER2 are moved to a folder called Sent On Behalf Of USER2, nothing in the Rules wizard lets you do that.
One solution is to create a custom form that will be preset to a category called "Sent On Behalf Of." In this example, USER1 can use this form whenever he or she sends mail on behalf of USER2. You can then create a rule that checks messages after they are sent, checks if the category is set to Sent On Behalf Of and, if so, moves those messages to a specific folder (or processes those messages in other ways).
The detailed steps are given below. These steps are for Outlook 97, but the same steps apply, with minor differences, for Outlook 98 and Outlook 2000. To create a form:

Did You Know?
More Info
Tea Forté Moroccan Mint green tea combines hand-rolled Chinese gunpowder green tea with fresh nana mint leaves. Also known as atay bi nahna, Moroccan Mint Tea, is the national drink of Morocco, and is the traditional tea of Moroccan hospitality. The green tea leaves are rolled to protect the precious oils, and to early traders, these leaves resembled buck-shot, hence the name. Nana mint is a fragrant mint grown only in North Africa. It possesses a distinctive, mint-menthol-like character. This is a favorite tea of hospitality both in Morocco and the Middle East where it is commonly prepared. It is traditionally served in clear glasses sweetened with sugar. It is believed to be a wonderful digestive aid, famous for its anti-heartburn properties. Studies show that green tea aids in detoxifying the body, regulates your blood sugar, and promotes healthy teeth, skin and bones.
Tasting Notes:
- Flavor: perfectly balanced with a lingering sweet, smooth and cooling finish
- Aroma: refreshing and minty
- Color: golden yellow-green
- Strength: full bodied

Very Green
I like this tea, but I don't love it. Mint/spearmint is one of my favorite flavors for pretty much anything, but the mint in this is too subtle for my taste. It's probably just my personal preference to have a much stronger mint flavor. It does make for a good cup of green tea without too much of the "grassy" flavor, though.
11/1/13 | Taryn, Minneapolis, MN
Easy to be green
Green tea is so good for you, yet tastes so awful... UNLESS it's a Tea Forte green like this one, which is delicious. Right now it's helping me nurse a summer virus (For winter I'd use Tea Forte Sweet Orange Cinnamon).
6/18/13 | ALANNA , Chicago, IL
A Relaxing, Pure Tea
This blend creates a very distinct mint flavor without drowning the undertones of the gunpowder green tea. An excellent tea for spearmint lovers, and great for calming the stomach.
2/16/13 | Matt, Boulder, CO
The best tea EVER!! The scent of mint is so refreshing. I always have a cup of Moroccan Mint tea after lunch at work. It is refreshing and re-energizing.
11/27/12 | Miri, Carmel, IN
Great flavor!!!
My favorite Tea!!

The caffeine level in a cup of tea can vary by tea type, steeping practices and even the particular tea harvest. We use the following designations as guidelines for the caffeine levels of our teas:
Tea/herbal blends with less than 30mg
Decaf tea retains a tiny amount of caffeine
Herbal teas are 100% caffeine free
Lower caffeine teas with shorter steeping times; 30-50mg
Robust, high caffeine teas; 50-100mg
Robust, high caffeine teas; 50-100mg
Lower caffeine teas with shorter steeping times; 30-50mg
These steeping guidelines produce the best results for our palates. Use them as a guideline, but you may certainly experiment and find the best results for yours.

Hoover U8188900
Vacuum Cleaner Review
Anniversary WindTunnel Bagged & Bagless Upright
Quick Vacuum Cleaner Review
The Hoover U8188900 Anniversary Wind
Tunnel Bagged and Bagless Upright is nicely priced in the $200-$250 range.
This machine utilizes Wind Tunnel Technology (semi cyclonic) and can be used
as a bagged or bagless vacuum cleaner which makes it perfect for larger
debris jobs as well as normal vacuuming.

The Hoover U8188900 Vacuum

Hoover U8188900 Anniversary Wind Tunnel Bagged and Bagless Upright is nicely
priced in the $200-$250 range. This machine utilizes Wind Tunnel Technology
(semi cyclonic) and can be used as a bagged or bagless vacuum cleaner which
makes it perfect for larger debris jobs as well as normal vacuuming.
The Hoover U8188900 includes a HEPA filter to insure air quality and has a
dirt finder light that lights up when vacuuming large amounts of debris.
There is also a headlight for vacuuming in dark corners and under furniture.
Like most residential vacuum cleaners, the cord is a standard 30 feet and
has a long 8 foot hose for reaching under objects and into higher places.
The motor is a powerful 12 amp motor for great suction and power.
Some nice features on this unit include the enclosed handle design for a
more comfortable grip and wheels with bearings for easier mobility. The
wheels are also rubber coated to hold close to the floor and to prevent
scratching surfaces. The switch is located on the upper handle for easy
turning on and off. The Hoover U8188-900 is equipped with 2 refuse chambers,
one that has a filter and one that does not. The machine is available in two
nice color choices of bronze or gray.
One of the best things about the Hoover U8188-900 is the impressive tool kit
included with the unit and the ease with which the tools store in their own
convenient case built right onto the machine. There is a nice assortment of
tools including an upholstery tool, square brush, wand, long crevice tool,
and roller brush for removing pet hair from furniture. The tools store away
on the front top of the machine in a storage compartment with its own door,
so that the tools won't fall out during rigorous vacuuming.
There are a few problems with the Hoover U8188-900. The vacuum cleaner is a
bit bulky in design and can feel a bit heavy and cumbersome at times,
depending on the job. This machine is also a single motor unit which means
that one motor controls both the suction as well as the beater bar. The
brush roller is hard to access and needs a screwdriver to open, which is a
bit of a hassle and is more time consuming. The bottom of the base is also
made of plastic instead of metal and will scratch more easily over time. The
other concern is that this machine is a little loud compared with some
residential vacuums.
The Hoover U8188-900 Anniversary Wind Tunnel Bagged and Bagless Upright is
overall a nice vacuum cleaner for the price. It has good suction, nice
attachments and is able to handle a variety of cleaning jobs. This machine
has a nice look to it and has all of the standard features expected in most
residential vacuum cleaners, with some nice extras like the dirt finding
lights, 5 setting carpet height adjustment dial (conveniently located on the
base of the unit), HEPA filtration and a powerful 12 amp motor. The
thoughtful design of the tool attachment storage compartment is an
unexpected feature and one the user will certainly appreciate as well. If
only it were a bit quieter.

I didn't see an introductions forum (yes, I did search), so mods feel free to move this post if needed.
Greets. Just registered, just bought a Traxxis Summit. I know virtually nothing about the R/C world but I'm dipping a toe in to test the waters.
I'm into 4wheeling in the 1:1 scale. Been doing that for quite awhile and this is my main trail rig.
I bought a Summit mainly because it's a moderate type of rig. I've painted it up a bit, and still have a little more paint to add to make it match the 1:1 rig, then I'll just leave it stock until something breaks. A couple other guys from our 4x4 club have R/C trucks also, so we'll have some fun, I'm sure.
I kinda had my eyes on a REVO and then when I saw the Summit had selectable lockers, I decided to get that. The 2 speed tranny is nice too.
If anyone has any tips on where the weak points are and possibly what type of maintenance needs to be done. Things that aren't in the manual. I did jump in on the rims\water thread already.
TIA for all your help.
