I couldn't believe this play when I first saw it. First, the fact that the Ravens were able to convert on 4th and 29, which just shows how completely inept the San Diego Chargers are. And secondly, that Ravens QB Joe Flacco threw a check down pass to Ray Rice on 4th and 29. Flacco should be very thankful that Rice is an explosive playmaker, because had he not converted, Flacco would have been taking a lot of heat for this. It should also be noted, that Ray Rice came up with a unique name for this play."Check down, Hey Diddle Diddle, Ray Rice up the middle," – Ray Rice describing his 29-yard gain on 4th down yesterday.— ESPN (@espn) November 26, 2012Baltimore remains a remarkable 9-2 and second in the AFC, while San Diego falls to 4-7 and Head Coach Norv Turner gets closer to being fired.

Amaranth Leaves
Amaranth is an herb that is technically not a grain, but is often used like a grain because of its abundance of grain like seeds. It can be cooked as a cereal, ground into flour, popped like popcorn, sprouted, or toasted. The seeds can be cooked with other whole grains, added to stir-fry or to soups and stews as a nutrient dense thickening agent.
Physical Description
The amaranth plant grows as high as 7 feet or taller with a celery-like stalk that tastes somewhat like an artichoke. The leaves can be green or red, depending on the variety.
Tasting Notes
Selecting and Buying
Preparation and Use
Use the leaves in place of spinach in a variety of cooked dishes. Amaranth flour is used in making pastas and baked goods. It must be mixed with other flours for baking yeast breads, as it contains no gluten. One part amaranth flour to 3-4 parts wheat or other grain flours may be used. In the preparation of flatbreads, pancakes and pastas, 100% amaranth flour can be used. Sprouting the seeds will increase the level of some of the nutrients and the sprouts can be used on sandwiches and in salads, or just to munch on.
Conserving and Storing
Amaranth greens, which can be served as a good substitute for spinach, will last several days but are best if prepared immediately after being harvested. To store, place the stems with leaves in a plastic bag and refrigerate.

Primus Immigration
is a Canadian Immigration Law Firm based in Montreal, Canada; whose goal is to fairly and successfully represent their clients in their applications for immigration to Canada.
Quebec and Federal Immigration Law in effect
Primus Immigration wants to inform you that the new application quota for the Province of Quebec has been announced and specifically for the Skilled Workers subclass, it will be of 6,300. The date on which the applications will start to be accepted has not been released yet.
The Québec Skilled Workers program is open to all professions, but certain professions will be attributed different points. We advise you to read the information about this new law that is provided on the BIQ's website: http://www.immigration-quebec.gouv.qc.ca/en/informations/rules-procedures.html
As well, starting January 1st, 2015 the Federal program called Express Entry has opened. This is not a new program; however, it is a new "filter" that will allow the Canadian government select the best qualifying applicants. In general terms, the candidate must meet the requirements in order to complete and have an immigration process to obtain the Canadian permanent residence.
Similar to old requirements, the point system for example includes the dominion of the English language, education, work experience, age, etc.
The candidates who want to apply to Canada's key economic immigration programs will be able to create an online profile and express their interest in coming to Canada permanently.
Candidates who meet the minimum criteria will be accepted into the pool and will be ranked according to various factors. As mentioned before, these include language proficiency, education and work experience.
According to this system, the highest ranking candidate will be invited to apply for permanent residence. The government has announced that their goal is to process the applications in about six months or less.
The Canadian government has mentioned that the Express Entry marks a major progress for skilled foreign nationals and employers alike. They have said that the Express Entry will allow Citizenship and Immigration Canada to identify those who are most likely to succeed economically in Canada, instead of simply processing applications on a first-come, first-served basis. This will result in faster processing and will allow the Government of Canada to be more flexible and respond better to Canada's changing labour market needs.
Due to all of these aspects, it is very important to obtain the highest possible points and complete a solid application.
Place your trust in Primus; we will make it our objective to ensure that your dreams of a life in Canada are fulfilled. Go ahead, have a safe and successful journey, call Primus now, and one of our elite associates will be delighted to speak with you.

Pros: Good quality overall. Very Quite.
Cons: Nothing I can fine right off.
Other Thoughts: The system I built for my wife had blue light fans and she wanted to replace 2 that had gone bad out of the 5 I originally put in the system to cool it. These filled the bill rightly. Liquid cooling was still young when I assembled her system so I put as many fans in as there where mounting spots. Worked great for 4 yrs nearly never being shut down. Cleaned every month or so.Even the best items wares out at some point. These replaced a name brand lighted fan and work as least as well if not better.

Other Thoughts: Once you get past the learning curve it's a good OS. If you don't have a touchscreen system you need to set your scroll pad to a wider area of scrolling and you will find that the touch part is not missed as much. I still think Microsoft missed the boat on this OS. Most people just don't take the time to learn something that's vastly differant from what they are used to.READ FULL REVIEW

Copmetition In The Staal Family
by Paul on 08/26/09 at 10:25 AM ET
Comments (0)
from Damian Cox of the Toronto Star,
Shame on Steve Yzerman. The country was in a recession and he could've saved Hockey Canada some money.
After all, he really didn't need to make three separate calls to the 807 area code in early July. One would have sufficed. Or maybe a conference call.
The three Staal boys, you see, were all together at their Thunder Bay "camps" – cottages in southern Ontario parlance – when the time came for Yzerman and his staff to start contacting those NHL players who would be invited to Team Canada's summer orientation camp.

Babcock In Charge
by Paul on 08/26/09 at 12:01 AM ET
Comments (0)
from Jeff Marek of CBC Sports,
First, this is Mike Babcock's team. Period.
Yes, he is flanked by some outstanding assistant coaches in Jacques Lamaire, Ken Hitchcock and Lindy Ruff - who since he is the youngest of all assistant coaches gets to do the grunt work like shovel snow in front of the net - but make no mistake about it, Babcock is in charge.
Even at the opening press conference on Monday where Babcock laid out his now infamous "200-foot" hockey player analogy, you can tell in every interaction that the coach is leading this squad. Right away Babcock is on the ice at the opening session.
He gives out the instructions, he runs the drills and yes he stops players who aren't doing exactly what he wants. And that includes the Sidney Crosby/Rick Nash/Jarome Iginla line, which he stopped Tuesday and made them start a drill over.

Highly Ranked Russian Prospect Facing Suspension
by Paul on 08/25/09 at 05:56 PM ET
Comments (0)
from Jeff Z. Klein of Slap Shot at the NY Times,
A 17-year-old Russian touted as the possible No. 1 overall pick in the 2010 N.H.L. entry draft faces almost certain suspension by the K.H.L. after he refused to sign a contract that contained no clause allowing him to depart for North America.
The player, Kirill Kabanov, was singled out for discipline by K.H.L. president Alexander Medvedev during a Tuesday news conference in Moscow, the latest episode in an ongoing series of K.H.L.-N.H.L. disputes over player contracts.

Gagne Hurts Hip At Team Canada Camp

Comments (0)
from Chuck Gormley of Flyer Files at the Courier-Post,
Flyers left wing Simon Gagne injured his surgically repaired right hip on the first day of Olympic workouts in Calgary on Monday, the Courier-Post has learned.
Speaking by phone from the Pengrowth Saddledome, Gagne said he felt soreness in his right hip during a fast-paced practice on Monday and will not return to the ice this week.
"For now it's nothing serious," Gagne said. "The pace was a little faster than I was used to this summer. I think I'll be OK for training camp."
added 2:12pm, Other reports coming out of camp claim groin injury.

Crosby Not Ready For The Team Canada 'C'
by Paul on 08/25/09 at 09:40 AM ET
Comments (0)
from Damien Cox of the Toronto Star,
This will be Sidney Crosby's team, one way or another.
Having delivered the Stanley Cup to Pittsburgh, a truly blighted hockey town before he arrived there four years ago, it is now expected by his home and native land that Crosby will deliver an Olympic gold medal in men's hockey next winter in Vancouver.
But it would appear that anointing the Penguins superstar as the captain of Team Canada was at best premature and apparently closer to dead wrong.
More than anything, you see, those organizing the Canadian team want Crosby to play, to deliver points and passion and important moments.

The Canadian Expectations

from Pierre LeBrun of ESPN,
You said you didn't give a f—- about hockey
And I never saw someone say that before
You held my hand and we walked home the long way
You were loosening my grip on Bobby Orr
I still get chills every time I hear that Bobby Orr line from lead singer Gord Downie. Somehow, right in that instant, Downie's unique voice captures Canada's obsession with the sport it invented and still clings desperate ownership to.
All of which should help underline to my American readers here at ESPN.com just what kind of pressure and hype await the host country in less than six months. When Canadian hockey fans stop me to chat Olympics these days, it's not to ask me who I think will win men's hockey gold in Vancouver, but rather which country I think will lose to Canada in the gold-medal game. Gulp.

Who Starts In Goal For Canada?

from Jim Matheson of the Edmonton Journal via Canada.com,
"This is it for me," said Brodeur, swatting away any suggestion that he might still be in the goaltending picture during the 2014 Olympics in Russia.
The grand old man of Canadian goaltending would be 41 in 2014 and he knows he can't stop pucks forever.
As it is, he might not stop them every night at the 2010 Olympics. There is a reasonable possibility Vancouver Canucks' Roberto Luongo, seven years younger and cognizant he'll be playing in his home rink, might actually beat him out as the starter.

Captain Canada?

from Mark Spector of Sportsnet,
Iginla is still entrenched as one of Canada's best all-around forwards. He is a sniper, a hard-nosed opponent, a genuine leader in every facet of the game, and a lock for Vancouver in February.
But as we convene in Calgary this week in preparation for what will be the biggest Canadian hockey tournament since the 1972 Summit Series, there is this guy named Sidney Crosby. And doesn't he have "Captain" written all over him?

Trim Your Inner Thighs With Easy Exercises
Strengthen your thigh muscles in just minutes with this toning workout.
The Routine
Summer's staples (shorts, swimsuits, and slim-cut pants) put the inner thighs on display. To target these tricky-to-hit muscles (and the surrounding ones), use this routine by Matthew Hurst, owner of Training Zone, a gym in Atlanta. Beginners should do each of the standing exercises 15 to 20 times; the intermediate and advanced can repeat them 25 to 30 times.

Detachment is a natural consequence of spiritual advancement; it cannot be hurried along or forced.
The sages call that man wise whose pursuits are all without selfish plan or longings for results, and whose activities are purified by the fire of wisdom.
Bhagavad Gita 4:19
Allow your ego to rule your mind and detachment will remain a mystery. Allow your spirit to reign in your heart and detachment will flow from mastery.
Like two golden birds perched on the selfsame tree, intimate friends, the ego and the Self dwell in the same body. The former eats the sweet and sour fruits of the tree of life, while the latter looks on in detachment.
The Mundaka Upanishad
Consciously working to develop detachment is more of an exercise in self-discipline than a means of hastening enlightenment.
Detachment is a plant of slow growth; if you pluck the tender plant to look for the pods, you will be disappointed.
Sri Sathya Sai Baba
Detachment is the transcendence of desire, but a desire to achieve detachment is itself a desire, and may circle back as frustration and guilt.
Getting rid of things and clinging to emptiness
Is an illness of the same kind;
It is just like throwing oneself into a fire
To avoid being drowned.

The confrontations between police and demonstrators at the Stonewall Inn in New York City the weekend of June 27-29, 1969 mark the beginning of the modern glbtq movement for equal rights.
Formed soon after the Stonewall Riots of 1969, the short-lived but influential Gay Liberation Front brought a new militancy to the movement that became known as gay liberation.
The sexual revolution of post-World War II America changed sexual and gender roles profoundly.
"Leather" is a blanket term for a large array of sexual preferences, identities, relationship structures, and social organizations loosely tied together by the thread of what is conventionally understood as sadomasochistic sex.
Although best known for her crusade for women's suffrage, Susan B. Anthony spoke out on a range of feminist issues.
With reports from hundreds of sub-Saharan African locales of male-male sexual relations and from about fifty of female-female sexual relations, it is clear that same-sex sexual relations existed in traditional African societies, though varying in forms and in the degree of public acceptance
Androgyny, a psychological blending of gender traits, has long been embraced by strong women, soft men, members of queer communities, and others who do not easily fit into traditionally defined gender categories.
A cultural crossroads between Asia and Europe, Russia has a long, rich, and often violent heritage of varied influences and stark confrontations in regard to its patterns of same-sex love.
M.P. Louisa Wall, sponsor of the bill.
On March 13, 2013, New Zealand lawmakers overwhelmingly approved a bill allowing same-sex marriage on its second, and most crucial reading, making it almost certain that marriage equality will become law. The 77 to 44 vote indicates that the bill enjoys wide support in the legislature and will be easily approved on the final vote, which is likely to be little more than a formality and could be taken early in April.
As the Associated Press reports from Wellington, "More than 200 people crammed into the Parliament's public gallery to watch lawmakers debate the bill before they voted at about 10:15 p.m. The mostly young crowd clapped and cheered for lawmakers who spoke in support of the bill, and sat in silence for those who spoke in opposition."
"I'm very excited, as excited as the young people," bill sponsor Louisa Wall said after the vote. "It's a fantastic result."
In order for a bill to become law in New Zealand, it must be passed three times. After the first vote, a committee makes amendments and considers public reaction before bringing it back to Parliament for a crucial second vote. The third vote is usually a formality, especially if a bill passes by a large majority as is the case with the marriage equality bill.
Following the initial vote, which was 80 to 40 in favor, the committee made some minor changes to the bill, including wording to make it clear that clergy can decline to preside over gay marriage ceremonies if they conflict with their beliefs.
In her speech supporting the bill, Wall said that "Marriage belongs to society as a whole, and that requires the involvement of the whole of society." She added, "The role of the state in marriage is to issue a license to two people who love each other and want to commit to one another formally. That's what this bill does."
In her speech, the openly gay Member of Parliament quoted "Same Love," the song Seattle rapper Macklemore wrote in support of marriage equality in the state of Washington: "And I can't change, even if I tried, even if I wanted to, I can't change."
Polls indicate about two-thirds of New Zealanders are in favor of marriage equality, which is supported by most of the country's political leaders, including Prime Minister John Key.
On July 30, 2012, Key said that he would vote in favor of legislation authorizing same-sex marriage and that he would allow a conscience vote on the measure, which would permit members of his center-right government to make independent decisions as to how they vote on the bill.
The Prime Minister said, "My view has been that if two gay people want to get married then I can't see why it would undermine my marriage."
Since 2005, New Zealand has offered same-sex couples civil unions that provide all the legal rights and responsibilities as marriage except for adoption. The marriage equality bill currently under consideration includes adoption rights.
Wall attributed the broad support her bill enjoys to President Obama's endorsement of same-sex marriage. "If I'm really honest, I think the catalyst was around Obama's announcement, and then obviously our prime minister came out very early in support, as did the leader of my party, David Shearer," Wall told the Associated Press in August. "The timing was right."
In the video below, from August 2012, Louisa Wall introduces the marriage equality bill in the New Zealand Parliament.
In the video below, Macklemore & Ryan Lewis, with Mary Lambert, perform "Same Love," which Wall quoted from in her March 2013 speech.

TowneBank named a top SBA lender
May 22, 2013
Reported in: Inside Business
Written by: Bill Cresenzo
The Small Business Administration named TowneBank one of Virginia's top lenders of SBA loans for fiscal year 2012.
The SBA named the Suffolk-based community bank its top community bank lender of SBA 504 loans for the year.
The bank approved 19 loans totaling $8.5 million for small businesses.
TowneBank will accept an award on June 24 at the Virginia Small Business Week Awards Luncheon at the Richmond Westin Hotel.
The 504 loans provide businesses long-term, fixed-rate financing for acquisition or renovation of land, buildings and equipment, said Jayne Armstrong, district director of the SBA's Richmond District office.
"Small business success depends on access to capital," Armstrong said.
Overall, the SBA and Virgina banks approved 515 loans totaling $202.9 million.
A typical 504 loan requires 10 percent of the cost of the project from the borrower, 40 percent through the SBA and 50 percent through a third-party lender, such as TowneBank.
"The advantages to the borrower are the low capital injection and fixed-rate financing for up to 20 years on the SBA portion of the loan," Armstrong said. "Since this is an economic development program, borrowers are required to create one job for every $65,000 of SBA financing."
Armstrong said during the past 10 years, the SBA has streamlined the lending process.
But, she said, there remains a "gross misperception in the Virginia small business community that SBA lending involves a lot of paperwork and a very long processing time."
In reality, she said, banks use their own applications and process them without any additional approval from the SBA.
"Most loans are turned around pretty quickly," she said.
"Small business lending is starting to pick up again. More and more banks are contacting us to request training with an interest in expanding their SBA lending. I am very encouraged about what I am seeing in the past two months. I have personally been contacted by four banks this week regarding their interest in increasing their SBA participation."
The other top Virginia lenders are:
* BB&T of Winston Salem, N.C., which is the top overall lender. The bank provided 72 SBA loans totaling $17.7 million.
* Stellar One Bank of Charlottesville, which is the top intermediate lender. It made 32 loans, worth $6.07 million.
* Citizens Bank & Trust Co. of Blackstone, the top community bank, with 11 loans worth $291,000.
* University of Virginia Community Credit Union of Charlottesville, which made 10 leans worth $1.1 million.
* Business Finance Group Inc. of Fairfax, the top certified development company. It provided small business with 48 504 loans, totaling $32.5 million.nib

Driver for 8800 GT?
Seems like the 8800 GT is now available in stores!
Any chance a driver is going to be available, soon?
Re: Driver for 8800 GT?
Yeah, i also would really like to buy a 8800 Gt this week. So, when will we get
a driver for it ?
Re: Driver for 8800 GT?
Yeah, this looks like it's going to be an extremely popular video card!
So add me to the "me too" list. Whenever the Linux driver supports the 8800GT, I'm going to buy one.
Re: Driver for 8800 GT?
Me too. Or are the actual drivers working with it?
Re: Driver for 8800 GT?
I'm sorry we were unable to make a driver available at launch for this GPU. While I can't promise any particular release date, releasing a driver that supports the GeForce 8800 GT is our top priority.
Re: Driver for 8800 GT?
Glad to hear it. +1 to the "will buy when it's supported" group.
My old 7600 GT that was just supposed to hold me over for a few months and has now been in my rig for a year just isn't cutting it in Quake Wars.:)
Re: Driver for 8800 GT?
I imagine the one good thing about the driver delay is that the supply/demand issues for this card will settle down to a more buyer-friendly ratio.
Re: Driver for 8800 GT?
Hey nemecb, when you get that 8800GT and take out the 7600GT you can stick it in the post to me. I don't have any Quake Wars issues. ;-)
Re: Driver for 8800 GT?
Gah, I didn't learn this until I took it home and put it in.
I'd hate to have to return it (it's a sizeable upgrade). Usually how long does it take to release Linux version of the drivers?
Re: Driver for 8800 GT?
Re: Driver for 8800 GT?
I am so patiently waiting for this release, and let me say this card is awesome. I just could not justify buying a 8800gtx o similar card and for what I was doing my 7600gt was fine.
I wanted to play crisis and knew it wouldn't do it, but the 8800gt lapped it up with all settings on high. Not a single glitch ,and I even reset all my bois settings to default and left them there to see how well it would do.
Very impressed with this carrd! (nana2)
Re: Driver for 8800 GT?
I gave my old video card to my Fiancee :(, so I'm having to use a pretty low quality one until then--
I'm dying to put this card in and to the test.

Final Fantasy is one of the most recognizable names in the video game industry today, and with good reason. Spanning more than 2 decades, over a dozen games and spin offs, Final Fantasy developer Square Enix has shown they know a thing or two about RPGs.
The story is captivating and amazingly well told. While it can border on the melodramatic at times, it is easily the best story in the series so far. The story of Final Fantasy XIII takes place in a world known as Pulse where beings known as fal'Cie, which possess godlike powers, roam the world. Humanity resides in the city of Cocoon, which floats high above the world. As expected, you are out to kick some fal'Cie ass. (I mean the game wouldn't be Final Fantasy if you didn't have to kill beings with godlike powers would it?)
Final Fantasy XIII is reminiscent of Final Fantasy VI in that you control each of the characters at different times and you bounce from group to group throughout the game. Over the first 20 hours or so of gameplay you switch between lead character Lightning, blonde-haired Snow, the gun-toting Sazh, Oerba Dia, the annoying Vanille, Fang, and Hope. The story progresses from different perspectives until they finally all come together near the game's exciting climax. Because of this the story unfolds more like a novel, with cliffhangers at the ends of chapters to keep you reading, or playing in this case. The story is so well done you'll find it hard to set your controller down to take a break. My wife has written a letter to Square Enix complaining about this, but gamers will rejoice at the great storytelling aspect of Final Fantasy XIII.
Final Fantasy XIII is rated T for Teen for
Mild Language
Suggestive Themes
The battle system in Final Fantasy XIII has been dramatically improved from previous games and it is solid and well designed, beginning simply and slowly evolving into a challenging and complex system. The system uses an attack queue which allows the player to build combos and tailor their attacks to the situation. Different attacks need different amounts of time to build up, so tailoring your attack to your enemy becomes very engrossing. Combat is fun and meaningful, constantly becoming harder and harder as you progress through the game.
The game also judges each fight and scores you on how fast you defeated your enemies. This affects the loot you receive and also makes it easier to summon monsters to fight for you. It's a truly brilliant system in that it makes you want to always bring your A game. You never want to breeze through a fight because that will cost you points. This makes combat in Final Fantasy XIII entertaining and compelling.
You can only control one character at a time in Final Fantasy XIII. The AI controls the rest of your party, and for the most part it does a good with this. The new battle system is effective because you can work on setting up your combos and abilities without having to constantly queue up attacks for everyone else. Before entering combat you will assign roles to your team such as a Medic to heal, or a Sentinel to distract and provoke.
While Square Enix did a lot of things right as far as gameplay in Final Fantasy XIII is concerned, there are some problems that just can't be ignored. To begin with, Square Enix has broken from their tried and true formula from previous games. Gone is the huge open world with many cities to explore and discover. Instead, they have gone with what they call an "FPS-style vibe." While this does alleviate the need to grind that plagues the rest of the series, it leaves most of the game feeling more like a dungeon crawl than an open world begging to be explored. This is a slap in the face to many Final Fantasy fans who are use to huge open worlds.
The first half of the game is so linear that my 8 year old son could play it and not get lost. You are not just guided in the right direction, you are forced. There is simply nowhere to go except exactly where the game wants you to go. With that said, the last half opens up and you are free to explore the world, but it really is too little too late.
Besides the lack of openness, Final Fantasy XIII is missing all of those great mini games fans of the series have come to expect. In past games these provided me with hours of fun, and gave gamers small breaks from the fighting of the main story line. I want to breed my chocobo's and race them, damnit! In FFXIII there's not much to do besides fight and walk forward.
The combat still forces you into a pull-away battle, with your enemies on one side and you and your team on the other. I had hoped combat would have been more seamless than it was in previous Final Fantasy versions. I must admit that, after playing games like Fallout 3 and Mass Effect 2, having to use a pull-away fight system was a letdown.
With that said, the gameplay is still engrossing and fun, and RPG fans will find a lot to like about how Final Fantasy XIII plays.
Final Fantasy XIII looks great from both a technical and artistic standpoint. Models with crisp textures, dynamic lighting, and shadows make for a well-rendered environment. This is the first Final Fantasy for the current generation of consoles and Square Enix pulled out all the stops. The game is truly breathtaking to behold, with cutscenes that are better than movie quality, and a world that is beautiful and well fleshed out.
Gone are the days of having to read all the text every time someone talks in game. Square Enix has embraced the latest generation of consoles with full voiceovers for everyone in the game. This greatly adds to the player's emersion into this amazing story. I hope other games follow suit.
With one notable exception, the voice acting in Final Fantasy XIII is top notch. Listening to Vanille's voice is like listening to fingernails on a chalk board, but outside of her, the rest of the cast does a great job of bringing their characters to life. This includes the villains, who gratefully the standard "Muhahaha!" generic villain fodder and instead really bring life to their characters.
The music is well done and suits the game, though I must admit I was slightly disappointed. The Final Fantasy franchise is usually known for its amazing soundtracks. While the music in FFXIII was adequate it did not stand out. However, these are small nitpicks and overall the sound quality is excellent.

For processing digital communication traffic in a network comprising a central communication processing structure (402, 403; 502, 503) and a number of separate devices (401, 405; 501, 505) of users designed for communication with the central communication processing structure, each time, a communication coming from one of the separate devices (401; 501) is received which communication is addressed to another of the separate devices (405; 505). It is then checked whether the received communication meets at least one condition applicable to the communication or the sender (401; 501). In reaction to meeting the condition, a message is added to the communication and the communication including the added message is sent to the addressed device (405; 505).
1. A method for processing digital communication traffic in a network comprising a central communication processing structure including a communication server and a system server and a number of distributed devices of users designed for communication with the central communication processing structure, comprising:
the communication server receiving a communication coming from one of the distributed devices which communication is addressed to another one of the distributed devices, the communication comprising a header including sender address information and receiver address information, and message content which includes a user inserted code, in reaction to detecting the user inserted code in the message content of the received communication, sending the communication to the system server;
wherein when the user inserted code is not detected, bypassing the system server and sending the communication directly to a recipient device;
the system server checking whether the received communication meets at least one condition applicable to the communication or the sender;
adding a message to the communication based upon the user inserted code included in the communication in reaction to meeting the condition;
sending the communication including the added message to the communication server; and
the communication server receiving back the communication from the system server and sending the communication which has been received back to the addressed device.

8. A communication processing structure for processing digital communication traffic in a network, which communication processing structure comprises a communication server and a system server, and is designed for:
communication with a number of distributed devices of users;
wherein the communication server is designed for each time receiving a communication coming from one of the distributed devices, which communication is addressed to another one of the distributed devices, the communication comprising a header including sender address information and receiver address information, and message content which includes a user inserted code, and, each time, in reaction to detecting the user inserted code in the message content of the communication, sending the communication to the system server;
wherein when the user inserted code is not detected, bypassing the system server and sending the communication directly to a recipient's device;
wherein the system server is designed for, each time checking whether the received communication meets at least one condition applicable to the communication or the sender,
each time adding a message to the communication based upon the user inserted code included in the communication in reaction to meeting the conditions, and
each time sending the communication including the added message to the communication server;
wherein the communication server is designed for, each time receiving back a communication from the system server and for, each time, sending the communications which has been received back from the system server to the addressed device.
The invention relates to a method and an apparatus for distributing communications to mobile recipients.
Such a method is known from European patent application 1 073 293 and from international patent application WO 01/50793. According to these known methods, mobile, addressable telecommunication devices, according to these examples mobile telephones, are registered in a database and, on the basis of data stored in the database, which determine for the respective devices to what extent advertising messages may be sent to these devices, advertising messages to be distributed are sent to the respective devices.
A drawback of these manners of distributing advertising messages is that they are sent as separate communications, which involves relatively high costs, and the user of the device on which the message has been received needs to separately operate and consult the device in reaction to signaling receipt of a message, to then conclude that the received communication merely contains an advertising message. A further drawback is that the advertising messages can only be distributed to devices of users who are registered, which limits the size of the population of users to whom the advertisement can be sent.
A variant of such a method is described in international patent application WO 01/22748, according to which, by means of a mobile telecommunication device, a request is sent to receive messages, such as route information or information regarding places which are touristically or otherwise important, depending on the occurrence of certain conditions, such as the position of the device, which may, for instance, have been determined by means of an incorporated GPS receiver. Here, it is provided that communications are sent in combination with an advertising message to be distributed if space is present for this. Although this obviates the drawbacks that the advertising messages are separately sent and the user needs to separately operate and consult his device when the advertising message is received, the population of users of mobile devices which can be reached with advertisements is further limited, because they can only be reached if they have requested conditional requests for sending information and if the respective condition which occasions the sending of information occurs.
It is an object of the invention to provide a solution which makes it possible to brings messages to be distributed, such as advertising messages, to the notice of a larger population of users, while the relatively expensive sending and receiving of separate advertising messages, which involves bother for the recipient, is avoided.
According to the present invention, this object is achieved with a method according to claim 1. For carrying out the method, the invention further provides an apparatus according to claim 8.
Because the messages to be distributed are added to communications coming from devices of users, the possibility is created to add messages with the consent of registered users, which messages, with the communications, can also reach non-registered users, without the users to whom the messages are sent needing to separately operate their device for taking notice of the messages. The communications in which the messages can be included may, for instance, be SMS or MMS communications or communications composed according to another standard.
Special elaborations of the invention are set forth in the dependent claims. Further aspects, effects and details of the invention are described and elucidated on the basis of exemplary embodiments with reference to the drawing.
The invention is first of all further elucidated in and by an example, which is based on collecting credits which can be used to send communications from one mobile device to another mobile device for free or at a reduced rate. However, it is also possible that the payment of the sending of the communications takes place in a different manner. Credits may, for instance, be available when buying a product, purchasing a service or taking out a subscription. The credits may, for instance, be issued by means of a scratch card or a code communicated in a different manner and may be registered in relation to the telephone bill of the user, for instance via an Internet Portal where the user has at least filled out his name, address, city/town and mobile telephone number.
After registration, the 'saving account' of the user is kept. This makes it, for instance, possible for the user to send free, or at least sponsored, communications via his own mobile phone. A form of P2P (peer-to-peer) advertising is created. When consumer A then sends a communication to consumer B via his mobile telephone, he can do this for free or at a reduced rate. The sponsor of the communication pays at least a part of the costs of the communication and in exchange, a short commercial message is added to the sent communication.
The commercial message coupled to the communication can be adjusted both with regard to text and layout to, for instance, the days of the week, to particular times of the day and/or to other particularities.
Additional payment by the user of amounts per communication to which a message has been added is also possible: the user registers, chooses, for instance, an idealistic cause, and from that moment, the user and/or a third party pays an extra amount per communication for the benefit of the chosen good cause. The communication is provided with an addition related to the chosen good cause. The user may set an upper limit for his contributions. It is also possible that the added message is a service for which the user pays, such as adding a map on which the momentary position of the device of the sender is shown or laying out the message (optionally with addition of standard details regarding the user).
The user may approach the server via various protocols, such as http, smtp, wap and gprs. Just to be perfectly clear: this is by no means a limitative enumeration of the possibilities.
Here, a distinction is made between the concepts 'communication server' and '(central) system server'. The communication server is a conventional apparatus for the processing of digital communication traffic. On this communication server, each sent communication is temporarily kept for carrying out various checks. Examples of these checks are "billing" (payment between different providers and the users of the separate devices (prepaid or subscriber) registered with the respective communication server). The system server or, optionally, the communication server checks whether the user is registered in the sense that he can make use of the service of addition of sponsored messages or messages to be paid to his communications. By means of the system server, the communication is either sent on unmodified or sent on adjusted, in that a message is added, to the addressed device.
A further possibility to make a distinction between dedicated hardware and software and non-dedicated hardware and software. The device of the user may be designed such that the user who wants to send a communication can make a choice between sending the communication via a conventional ("non-dedicated") communication server and sending it via a communication server designed for adding messages ("dedicated").
If, for instance, an SMS communication is sent with a conventional mobile telephone, this takes place with a preset telephone number of the communication exchange of the provider of the user. By providing an extra option on the mobile telephone, so that, in addition to the standard telephone number of the provider, a second telephone number can be programmed of the "dedicated" communication server, it can be decided to have the adding of the message to the communication take place. The mobile telephone then has, for instance, two keys or menu options: one for conventional communication traffic and one for communication traffic with addition of messages by a third party, whether or not for a fee or at a charge.
In the present context, the non-processing of a communication means that the communication is not sent on to the recipient and that, for instance, the sender receives the communication back or receives an error message stating the reason of non-processing.
The example shown in
The example shown in
The example shown in
Here, the starting (step 300) of the procedure does not comprise the choice for a dedicated communication server, but only the choice for the device function of sending a communication. In 301, the device of the user sends a communication addressed to the recipient intended by him (peer-to-peer communication). The communication also contains a message addition code which indicates that the communication is intended for addition of a message by means of a system server communicating with the communication server. This message addition code may, for instance, be a processing code included at the beginning of the communication, an address (registered as a number which can be chosen at a special rate or for free) or an element in the address. The user himself can choose to send a sponsored SMS communication or one at his own expense by choosing or not choosing the message addition code.
This communication is received by the conventional (nondedicated) communication server. The communication server recognizes the message addition code and sends the communication to the system server in reaction to this. It is also possible to send all communications of users registered for message addition to the system server and to have the check for presence of a message addition code be carried out by the system server. The system server reads the communication (step 302) and checks whether the sender is registered (step 303). If the sender is not registered as a user, a communication-not-processed procedure 304 is followed and a non-processed communication is sent to the recipient via the communication server. If the sender is registered, the system server checks the credits account of the user (step 305). In case of an insufficient account, the non-processed procedure 304 is again applicable. If the account is sufficient, the system server checks whether there is sufficient space for the commercial message to be added (step 308). If there is insufficient space, the system server may (if necessary for the chosen medium) create an extra communication which is coupled to the original communication for sending it in combination therewith. The system server then adds a message which is selected and optionally automatically edited in a similar manner to the manner described in the above-described example. The system server then deducts the number of used credits from the account of the user (step 310) and sends the processed communication back to the nondedicated communication server (step 311), with the address being the address of his message as indicated by the sender. The communication server then sends the communication to the recipient in the conventional manner (step 312).
It has been chosen to describe the implementation of the invention in the medium SMS as an example. In this process, the dedicated communication server is referred to as the dedicated SMSC server. Via a preset on his mobile telephone 401 (number of user for instance: 06 11111111), the user sends an SMS communication addressed to the mobile telephone 405 of the recipient chosen by him having, for instance, number 06 22222222. Because the device 401 has chosen the number of a dedicated SMSC server 402 for sending the communication, the SMS communication is directed to this dedicated SMSC server 402. As indicated in
In this process, the communication server is referred to as the SMSC server 502. From his mobile telephone 501, the user sends an SMS communication addressed to the mobile telephone of the recipient chosen by him. The SMS communication is directed to the SMSC server 502. As described with reference to
As a result of the registering, for at least a number of the devices or users, of data related to sent communications and the messages added to them for each device or each user separately, and the recording of data in at least one payment file depending on mutations of data related to sent communications and the messages added to them, the sending of communications can be coupled to an account of the sender with a party which manages the message sending. This makes the addition of messages to communications for a fee or at a charge particularly well manageable. In particular for the relatively expensive sending of communications to and/or from mobile devices, it is advantageous to be able to manage the contributions per user and per communication, for instance depending on expenses of the user with a paying or contributing party. The combined reward for custom and allowing messages makes a, for the user substantial, contribution towards the costs per communication of sending communications possible.
If selecting a message from a number of messages takes place depending on the code included by the user in the received message, the user can influence or determine the choice of the message, for instance taking into account the nature of the communication or the interests of the recipient.
Steps 600-604 and 608-610 and 612 are similar to steps 200-204 and 208-210 and 212 in

Thank you, Thank you, Thank you. I'm a total JS/Jquery noob and this issue was driving me crazy. I've got a project where I'm dynamically creating a element and then trying to use .change() to do things when are selected. The builds just fine and the .change() code looked good but it wouldnt work. Injected your waitUntilExists function and it works like a charm. Now I can stop beating my head on the keyboard wondering what's not working.
Hi, thank you for this great plugin. But how it is possible to run the function not only once, but every time.
I used it in the flexslider plugin to find out when a slider is active and then add a special class to the navigation.
my code:
var secondSlide =$("#secondary-slider li:eq(1).flex-active-slide");
var next2 = $('#home .flex-direction-nav li:eq(1) a');
$(secondSlide).waitUntilExists(function() {
This works fine, but only at once.
I forked and improved on your code a bit, if you want to pull in some or all of my changes. Thanks!

Of all the legendary celebrity-designer pairings, none have quite been as ingrained in the public's consciousness as Cher's relationship with Bob Mackie. And, after four decades, it looks like the partnership is still going strong.
"Just heard. Bob will make costumes for The Tour. Makes me so unbelievably happy! Last time around, wouldn't be, ME…without him." Cher tweeted yesterday.
Starting with 1971's "The Sonny and Cher Comedy Hour," Mackie has essentially become as synonymous with the icon as, say, her long black hair, though none of his outlandish, show-stopping costumes have been as firmly cemented in the pop culture canon as the look he created for Cher to wear to the 1986 Oscars, pictured above.
While details of Cher's upcoming tour have yet to be announced, Mackie dressed the 67-year-old-icon as recently as 2011, when she had a residency—where else?—in Vegas.

Cam Chain Tensioner Gasket - Oil Leak
Gosh, I wish I had found this website sooner!!
I have a 2002 DR650SE. It hadn't been ridden much by the previous owners, thats why it's only got 23000km on the clock now. I bought it 2 years ago with 13000km on the clock! Anyway, I noticed oil on the right side crank case cover.
I washed the bike and took it for a short ride, to see where the oil was coming from. It seemed to be from the back of the cylinder base gasket. So I bought all the gaskets and copper washers that would need to be replaced, to get to the cylinder base gasket. Imagine my disappointment when I stripped everything and found that the little gasket under the cam chain tensioner had a crack in the top half.
The oil was running down the left side of the CCT and onto the crank case, just below it, right at the join of the cylinder barrel and the crank case. I didn't notice this, as I only ever looked from the right side of the engine.
I took the opportunity to get to the neutral light switch and put some service grade locktite on the little screws. The service grade locktite allows you to unscrew the screws, in case you ever need to.
My cousin in Townsville Australia, sent me a link to this site. He knew about my bike's oil leak and found a thread where the chap had sprinkled talc powder on the engine, to show more easily where the oil was coming from.
Well the experience gave me an opportunity to check inside the engine and see how the bore and valves were doing. Still only has the criss-cross from the honing in it. I'll feel a lot more confident when we ride from Pietermaritzburg, up to Maputo and back, in June :-)

Cuban, who sold Broadcast.com to Yahoo for $5.7 billion and is now president of HDNet, a provider of high-definition TV programming, rattled off a trio of ideas he said were potentially patentable, though he was not personally inclined to file the applications.
"These are businesses I would be looking at starting and software I would look at writing if I were so inclined," Cuban wrote Sunday in his blog. "Instead, I decided to throw them out--free for all...If I were a patent terrorist like some, I could probably even patent these ideas."
Cuban's ideas--like others that have materialized on his Web log--center around the emerging industry for personal video recorders (PVRs), such as TiVo, and video on demand (VOD). VOD is not as widely available as PVRs are, but the idea has shown some recent signs of life with a movies-on-demand deal between TiVo and Netflix, and with the VOD service--offering mostly obscure programming--of Akimbo.
Cuban's first idea is a software program that takes advantage of the time TiVo subscribers spend watching their commercials fast-forward. Where subscribers now sit glued to the blur of fast-forwarding frames, Cuban suggests displaying a static advertisement.
