This technology relates generally to the field of input systems for electronic devices, and particularly to a keyboard that is especially well-suited for use in a hand-held mobile communication device.
Hand-held mobile communication devices may include a combined text-entry and telephony keyboard. Examples of such mobile devices include cellular telephones, wireless personal digital assistants (PDAs), two-way paging devices, and others. The keyboard can be actuated with the fingers of one or both of the user's hands.
A keyboard apparatus comprises a group of switches, a key having a corresponding group of plungers, and a chassis structure including a panel and a post. The post projects upward from the panel to support the key for manual movement pivotally into multiple actuated positions in which the plungers actuate the switches. The panel has a group of apertures through which the plungers are movable into actuating engagement with the switches upon such multi-directional movement of the key.
The apparatus 10 shown in
This example of a keyboard 14 is defined in part by a front panel 20 of the housing 12, and in part by a plurality of acutatable keys 22 at the panel 20. The keys 22 and their corresponding actuation indicia 24 together define a telephone keypad 25 and an overlapping text-entry keyboard 27. The keyboard 14 as a whole is thus configured for operation of the mobile device 10 in a telephony mode, in a text-entry mode, or in both the telephony mode and the text-entry mode.
The mobile device 10 is operative as indicated schematically in
Operating system software executed by the processing device 18 is preferably stored in a persistent store, such as a flash memory 44, but may be stored in other types of memory devices, such as a read only memory (ROM) or similar storage element. In addition, system software, specific device applications, or parts thereof, may be temporarily loaded into a volatile store, such as a random access memory (RAM) 46. Communication signals received by the mobile device 10 also may be stored to the RAM 46.
The processing device 18, in addition to its operating system functions, enables execution of software applications 50A-50N on the device 10. A predetermined set of applications that control basic device operations, such as data and voice communications 50A and 50B, may be installed on the device 10 during manufacture. In addition, a personal information manager (PIM) application may be installed during manufacture. The PIM is preferably capable of organizing and managing data items, such as e-mail, calendar events, voice mails, appointments, and task items. The PIM application is also preferably capable of sending and receiving data items via a wireless network 52. Preferably, the PIM data items are seamlessly integrated, synchronized and updated via the wireless network 52 with the device user's corresponding data items stored or associated with a host computer system. An example system and method for accomplishing these steps is disclosed in "System And Method For Pushing Information From A Host System To A Mobile Device Having A Shared Electronic Address," U.S. Pat. No. 6,219,694, which is owned by the assignee of the present application, and which is incorporated herein by reference.
Communication functions, including data and voice communications, are performed through the communication subsystem 30, and possibly through the short-range communications subsystem 32. The communication subsystem 30 includes a receiver 54, a transmitter 56, and one or more antennas 58 and 60. In addition, the communication subsystem 30 also includes a processing module, such as a digital signal processor (DSP) 62, and local oscillators (LOs) 64. The specific design and implementation of the communication subsystem 30 is dependent upon the communication network in which the mobile device 10 is intended to operate. For example, the mobile device 10 may include a communication subsystem 30 designed to operate with the Mobitex™, Data TAC™ or General Packet Radio Service (GPRS) mobile data communication networks and also designed to operate with any of a variety of voice communication networks, such as AMPS, TDMA, CDMA, PCS, GSM, etc. Other types of data and voice networks, both separate and integrated, may also be utilized with the mobile device 10.
Network access requirements vary depending upon the type of communication system. For example, in the Mobitex and DataTAC networks, mobile devices are registered on the network using a unique personal identification number or PIN associated with each device. In GPRS networks, however, network access is associated with a subscriber or user of a device. A GPRS device therefore requires a subscriber identity module, commonly referred to as a SIM card, in order to operate on a GPRS network.
When required network registration or activation procedures have been completed, the mobile device 10 may send and receive communication signals over the communication network 52. Signals received from the communication network 52 by the antenna 58 are routed to the receiver 54, which provides for signal amplification, frequency down conversion, filtering, channel selection, etc., and may also provide analog to digital conversion. Analog-to-digital conversion of the received signal allows the DSP 62 to perform more complex communication functions, such as demodulation and decoding. In a similar manner, signals to be transmitted to the network 52 are processed (e.g. modulated and encoded) by the DSP 62 and are then provided to the transmitter 56 for digital to analog conversion, frequency up conversion, filtering, amplification and transmission to the communication network 52 (or networks) via the antenna 58.
In addition to processing communication signals, the DSP 62 provides for control of the receiver 54 and the transmitter 56. For example, gains applied to communication signals in the receiver 54 and transmitter 56 may be adaptively controlled through automatic gain control algorithms implemented in the DSP 62.
In a data communication mode, a received signal, such as a text message or web page download, is processed by the communication subsystem 30 and is input to the processing device 18. The received signal is then further processed by the processing device 18 for an output to the display 16, or alternatively to some other auxiliary I/O device 36. A device user may also compose data items, such as e-mail messages, using the keyboard 14 and/or some other auxiliary I/O device 36, such as a touchpad, a rocker switch, a thumb-wheel, or some other type of input device. The composed data items may then be transmitted over the communication network 52 via the communication subsystem 30.
In a voice communication mode, overall operation of the device is substantially similar to the data communication mode, except that received signals are output to a speaker 40, and signals for transmission are generated by a microphone 42. Alternative voice or audio I/O subsystems, such as a voice message recording subsystem, may also be implemented on the device 10. In addition, the display 16 may also be utilized in voice communication mode, for example to display the identity of a calling party, the duration of a voice call, or other voice call related information.
The short-range communications subsystem 32 enables communication between the mobile device 10 and other proximate systems or devices, which need not necessarily be similar devices. For example, the short-range communications subsystem 32 may include an infrared device and associated circuits and components, or a Bluetooth™ communication module to provide for communication with similarly-enabled systems and devices.
The mobile device 10 may also include a predictive text computer program that is used in conjunction with the keyboard 14. A predictive text computer program may, for example, be used to predict a complete word or phrase from one or more keystrokes. If the predictive text computer program does not successfully predict a desired word or phrase, then text-entry characters may be entered more completely, albeit more slowly, by selecting the appropriate characters on the keys 22.
As noted above, the keyboard 14 includes a telephone keypad 25 and an overlapping text-entry keyboard 27 . The actuation indicia 24 is preferably located on the keys, as shown in the example of
More specifically, each key 22 in the example shown in
Other keys in the telephone keypad 25 include a group of keys for telephone numerals 1-9. Each of those keys 22 has an actuated position for the respective telephone numeral, and further has two more actuated positions for respective letters in the QWERTY keyboard 27. Within that group of telephone keys 22 is a smaller group for telephone numerals 2-9. The actuated position for the telephone numeral at each of those keys 22 further serves as a common actuated position for all of the telephone keypad letters that correspond to the respective numeral. For example, the actuated position for the telephone numeral 9 is the same as the actuated position for each of the telephone keypad letters W, X, Y and Z. The key 22 for the telephone numeral 0, as well as each of the adjacent keys for the telephone functions "*" and "#," likewise has a single actuated position for its telephone keypad character, and further has a pair of additional actuated positions for a respective pair of text-entry functions.
The remaining text-entry letters and functional characters that complete the entire QWERTY keyboard 27 are provided on six additional keys 22 that do not overlap the telephone keypad 25. As shown in
The internal structure of the keyboard 14 is illustrated in
The keys 22 are formed as raised portions of the molded plastic sheet 80 that project upward from a thin planar base portion 90. Every key 22 has the same size and shape. Each key 22 on the sheet 80 thus has the configuration of the individual key 22 that is shown in enlarged detail in
A side wall 92 of the key 22 projects vertically from the base portion 90 of the plastic sheet 80. The side wall 92 provides the key 22 with a generally rectangular peripheral shape with rounded corners, as best shown in
Depending on the location of the key 22 in the telephone keypad 25 and/or the overlapping text entry keyboard 27, the major actuation surface portion 100 of the key will correspond to the actuated position for one or more telephone keypad characters or, alternatively, a text entry keyboard character. The minor actuation surface portions 102 and 104 correspond to the actuated positions for two respective text entry characters. This is indicated by example in
As further shown in
A cylindrical bearing structure 120 also extends vertically downward from the top wall 94 of the key 22. However, the bearing structure 120 does not reach vertically downward to the bottom of the side wall 92, and is centered on a vertical axis 121 at the center of the top wall 94. A concave inner surface 122 of the bearing structure 120 faces axially downward through the open lower end 124 of the bearing structure 120. A portion 126 of the concave inner surface 122 has a spherical contour.
The chassis 82 helps to prevent the user from moving any of keys 22 into more than one actuated position at a time. This example of the chassis 82 is a unitary plastic part that includes a plurality of posts 130 projecting vertically upward from a panel 132. Every post 130 has the same size and shape which, as best shown in
The number and arrangement of the posts 130 on the chassis 82 are the same as the number and arrangement of the bearing structures 120 on the keys 22. Each post 130 is surrounded by a respective group of three apertures 137 that extend through the panel 132. The number and locations of the apertures 137 beside the posts 130 on the chassis 82 are the same as the number and locations of the plungers 110, 112 and 114 beside the bearing structures 120 on the keys 22. In the same arrangement, the dome actuator panel 84 has groups of three dome actuator switches 140 that overlie corresponding groups of three contact structures 142 on the PCB 86. This enables each key 22 on the sheet 80 to fit together with the chassis 82, the dome actuator panel 84 and the PCB 86 in the operatively interconnected relationship shown in the sectional views of
A user of the mobile device 10 can move the key 22 to an actuated position by manually engaging any one of the actuation surface portions 100, 102 and 104 at the top of the key 22. For example, if the user manually applies a force downward against the key 22 at the major surface portion 100, the panel portion 90 of the plastic sheet 80 will deflect to allow the key 22 to move relative to the other parts shown in
This written description sets forth the best mode of the claimed keyboard apparatus, and describes the claimed keyboard apparatus to enable a person of ordinary skill in the art to make and use it, by presenting examples of the elements recited in the claims. The patentable scope of the keyboard apparatus is defined by the claims, and may include other examples that occur to those skilled in the art.

Mississippi has a rich culinary heritage stretching from the Gulf coast to the Delta that contributes to the unique identity of the state. A diverse agricultural history, ready access to game and fresh water fishing, and a thriving seafood industry combine with diverse ethnic origins, long-standing social traditions, and a broad spectrum of religious and cultural practices, to weave food deeply into the fabric of our culture. Yet, intertwined with this heritage are alarming health statistics that affect the lives of an increasing number of our citizens. Specifically, Mississippi continues to be the most obese state in the nation (USDA 2011). Despite consistently high obesity rates, Mississippi residents also exhibit increasing rates of food insecurity (Coleman-Jensen et al. 2012) or those individuals who have nutritionally inadequate diets and whose access to safe food is limited and uncertain. Such poor health statistics combine with ethical and cultural practices to create a complex and often paradoxical food environment within Mississippi.
To foster public dialogue on complicated food issues in Mississippi, the UMMC Center for Bioethics and Medical Humanities (CBMH) in collaboration with the Mississippi Humanities Council has created a traveling panel exhibit focused on the intricate mosaic of food, health, and culture. The exhibit, titled Food: For Thought, For Life, explores 10 significant food-related topics, each topic developed by food scholars and activists from across the state and presented in a pair of stand-alone panels. The panels are displayed in Mississippi public and community college libraries on a subscription basis and rotate monthly. Additional handout materials, suggestions for speakers, and other resources accompany each panel pair to promote community engagement and encourage an in-depth examination of the ethics and culture of food.

On April 30, 1812, Louisiana became the 18th state in the Union. In conjunction with the statewide celebration of the 200th anniversary of Louisiana's statehood, Louisiana Public Broadcasting worked with the Louisiana State Bicentennial Commission to produce a new one-hour documentary which looks back at the first 200 years of the state's history.
Narrated by Grammy and Emmy-winner and New Orleans-native Harry Connick, the one-hour documentary focuses on the most significant events in the state's first two centuries.
From the moment Louisiana became the 18th state on April 30, 2012, the Bayou State has always done things its own way. In fact, the United States wasn't quite sure what to make of its newest state and Louisiana didn't quite fit in with the other 17 states for a number of years. The tension lessened after an outmanned, ragtag group of U.S. soldiers, Louisiana and Tennessee volunteers and pirates defeated the British at the Battle of New Orleans on January 8, 1815.
In the past 200 years, Louisiana has survived massive floods, devastating hurricanes and the Civil War. Combining the contributions for seven different nationalities, it developed its own unique cuisine. From the streets and barrooms of New Orleans came Jazz. . Along the way it has more than its share of charismatic and sometimes controversial political figures like former Governors Huey and Earl Long and Edwin Edwards. With the recent elections of Kathleen Blanco, the first woman governor in the state's history, and Bobby Jindal, the nation's first Indian American governor, the state has entered a new era of politics.
Did you know that the state hosted the largest war games in American history to prepare troops for World War II or that New Orleans boat builder Andrew Higgins created the amphibious landing crafts that were used in D-Day and other major assaults during the War.
From the creation of Jazz to Cajun, Zydeco, blues, New Orleans Rhythm and Blues and country music, the musical diversity in the state is reflective of the state's population and culture. It's a culture that has produced such music legends as Louis Armstrong and Fats Domino along with contemporary country stars like Tim McGraw and Trace Atkins.
The documentary was produced by LPB's Tika Laudun and Al Godoy, who created the duPont Columbia Award-winning six-part series Louisiana: A History

Read Poems by
Michael Harman
The story of a Muse
A beautiful woman that loved him,
she listened to him, in awe of his genius,
she inspired him, encouraged him,
to do his best work, she validated for him,
that his thoughts and ideas were otherworldly,
She knew his mind and heart must be heard,
His art could change the world,
and took on the job of pulling this gift out of him,
she lassoed the tornado that was his soul,
and directed it, into the brush or pen,
A symbiotic relationship, of male and female,
at their best, a guided purpose.
It seems as if she always left him in the end,
A mystical woman with more artists to inspire,
left him crying and wounded,
to do his crazy works after his genius expired,
no direction, haphazard, psychotic, suicidal
used up, emotions undirected, lost, death.
but a life of value, influential, inspirational, an immortal,
I do not know where i got this impression,
this story of the muse.
Its not fair,
all my muse's,
dont care about my work,
they only care about how i can help them,
They listen long enough to find what i am looking for,
Put on the mask, the liar face, manipulative,
just long enough to get what they want,
or realize that i wont give it to them.
Try to buy my soul with their sex or money.
My naivety, my love, my hope, my trust,
used against me, for their selfish motives.
Purity pretended, love mimicked, smile a lie.
Is the muse a lie, is this why the artists go crazy?
Is the suffering evoked by an evil women inspirational?
I have seen men like me, with experiences like me.
Too wounded to love, to trust, to try again.
Settle for a weak woman, one that wont hurt them.
Men, i have always considered cowards
They cant look me in the eyes.
As i am beat down by love, i see their temptation.
Chasing the muse, waiting for her, mistaken mimics,
Dont tell me the muse doesnt exist...........

This formula has more pigment and more lasting power than the Soft Pressed Powder blushes but I am taking off one lippie for this shade because of the shimmers....it is a little too much for my preferences. Other than that, it is a great blush.

I received this blush in a GWP palette last spring and I've been wearing it ever since. It is the perfect shade of plum; it gives my cheeks soft, subtle color. Smoldering Plum is great because it goes with just about any shade of eye shadow and lip gloss. It's so natural-looking, it almost seems as if you are not wearing blush -- just a beautiful natural glow. I will definitely repurchase this blush when I use up the sample I received.

love this color! I tend to steer away from plum colors, but this came in a compact I bought and I had to try it out. It works great! definitely my get up and go blush when I am in a rush....it is very very hard to mess up application. I just swirl some on the brush and then swipe it a few times on the bottom half of my cheek bones and on the apples of my cheeks. slims my face and stays all day. doesn't look chalky....clinique blushes seem to be very high quality. love!

I love this blush! It takes only a tiny, tiny bit to get a great sheen of color, and it lasts all day! I adore the color - it always looks great! It's definitely a strong color, and if you wear too much it hardly looks natural, but it's great if you dust just a tiny bit on. :)
One thing to watch out for: I loved it so much that I kept it in my bag, and after about a week, the powder broke and got all over the inside of my bag. I got a second one, and I leave it at home so it won't break.

The color is too plummy for me. It's a little bit too purple on me to look natural. It's ok to wear a teeny bit to get a flush, but if you apply too much, it's purple.

This blush is powdery and goes on as a pinkish color. I do like it, but I have to put on a lot to see any color at all. I don't like the sparkles in it, but at least it's not really visible. Maybe suitable with people who have fair skin tone, but my skin isn't thaat dark, so... I dunno, if it was more pigmented I would repurchase. But a good thing is that you probably wouldn't look like a doll if you over do it.
Update: After a while, this has grown on me. I really do like it now. Gives you nice pink cheeks without any sparkle, even if you see sparkle in the product. :)

Plum is the hot blush color right now according to magazines. I figured I totally couldn't pull it off especially seeing as I don't really use blush. Boy was I wrong! This is totally gorgeous. Instead of the usual spring pink blush, this is a sexy sort of flush. Nothing cute about it! It's nice and easy to apply. In order to get a lot of color you have to layer it, so it's hard to apply too much. I really like this!

At the moment, this is my HG blush. I usually throw some on when I'm needing a bit of color on bad days. Lol. It is an old rose/plum color with a little bit of sparkle in it. I love the packaging, and the price isn't too bad compared to most other high-end brands. I'll most likely re-purchase if I ever run out, but one pan seems to last a looong time for me. :) I kinda regret giving away my GWP size version of it...oh well.

I was a little afraid of a plum blush. I'm very fair with quite a bit of natural rosiness to my cheeks. This looked really natural and a bit glowy when I applied it lightly and blended it well. I think us fair girls have to use a light hand or it may look crazy dark. It doesn't look like plum on me, more of a slightly shimmery rose. I have a gwp size, and I think I would rebuy this, but I have so many blushes, I doubt I'd ever finish any of them.

Full detailed profile on Dr. Lainey Winters Played by Kent King on General Hospital Daytime Soap Opera.
Kent King (ABC)
Birthday: 1974-08-05
Out at Shadybrook, Lulu is about to knock on Laura's door when Johnny comes walking down the hall to her room. She rushes into his arms. They catch up and Johnny surprises her by remembering that it was one year ago today that he picked her up on the side of the road. Lainey comes to Lulu's room and sends her to her group therapy. After Johnny promises to be here waiting when she returns, Lulu leaves. Lainey stays behind and says that he brings danger and stress into Lulu's life and suggests that this will be his last visit.
Monica, Edward and Alice have gone to Shadybrook to visit Lulu. She thanks them, but nervously says it's not a good time (because she is starting to see Logan right behind them). She retreats back to her room and the Q's talk to Lainey about it. Lainey tells them about Lulu's hallucinations and assures them that they are doing everything they can.
Robin finds Liz in the hospital lounge and hears that she thinks a marriage to Patrick is the best choice for all of them. She says that Robin is blessed to have the man she loves willing and able to share her life with her. Later, Robin finds Lainey, Epiphany and Kelly at the nurses' desk and notices that something is up. They tell her that she's crazy about Patrick and she should marry him. Just then Mac and Anna come in and she's happy to see someone on her side. Mac says he isn't so sure.
Back at Shady Brook, Lucky fills Lainey in about what happened and asks her to talk to Lulu about the night that Logan died. Lainey tells Lucky that Lulu will talk about that when she's ready. Suddenly Lulu speaks up and accuses Lucky of taking her away from Johnny and none of this is his fault! Lainey tells Lulu to rest and pulls Lucky out of the room. That's when she tells him that his sister is getting worse.
The crowd that has gathered around Patrick and Robin at GH is listening intently as he professes his love for her. Anna and Mac, Kelly, Leyla, Liz, Dr. Matt and Epiphany all appear to be touched by his words. When he gets down on one knee and presents Robin with a diamond ring, his chin quivers as he says, "Robin, will you do me the honor of marrying me?" She remains stunned and Patrick asks her to say yes already so everyone can get back to caring for the sick and the needy. She smiles and tells him that she never thought of marriage happening like this and then runs to the elevator.
Inside, Kelly, Lainey, Liz and Leyla are all talking about Patrick's proposal. Leyla and Liz are impressed with Patrick's effort and feel as if the leopard has truly changed his spots. Lainey and Kelly aren't so sure but are willing to help Robin to follow her heart.
Back at Shady Brook, Lainey stops in to talk with Lulu and finds her crying after her phone call with Johnny. She reminds Lulu that her first week needs to be free from everything so she can focus, and staying away from Johnny is the first step. Lulu asks if she's in jail or something and Lainey explains that a family member could probably check her out for short excursions, but that's all for now. Just then Lucky arrives and Lulu has never been happier to see him. Lainey leaves them alone, and the first thing Lulu does is beg Lucky to take her to see Johnny. She says that she's finally found someone who puts her first in his life, but Lucky says that her brother is putting her first right this minute when he tells her no. He says it would only make things worse for her because Johnny is the reason she's in this situation. She begs again and feels betrayed when he stays firm.
After Lulu is taken to a room, Nik tells the doctor that he'll decide what's good for her and she is not to be treated this way. He asks for Dr. Lainey Winters to be on his sister's case. After the doctor is gone, Lulu mumbles that this is all her fault and now Johnny will go to prison because of her. She tells Nik that they would've gotten away but she's like mom. Nik tells her to rest and lets Dr. Lainey Winters into the room. "I did it," Lulu tells Lainey and Nik says that she's delirious. After a brief talk, Lainey tells Nik that once a patient starts to lose faith in their own sanity it's increasingly hard to get them back.
Patrick continues his rant about Anna's hotness to Coleman as Robin takes it all in. Coleman loudly welcomes her in order to shut Patrick up. Patrick scrambles to try to clarify his words and says that Anna is just a "butt-kicking fantasy woman" that's all. That doesn't seem to help. Coleman tells Robin that he thinks she's hot and Patrick tells him not to mess with his baby mama. Robin chaffs at the term and asks Patrick if he's at all hot for her? He says that he is and that she is over thinking what he said about Anna. Lainey and Kelly show up and Coleman puts their drinks on "Baby Daddy's" tab. Robin tells her friends that Patrick is hot for her mom. They all have a good laugh and Patrick gives up and leaves. Robin orders a pile of fries and Lainey tries to assure her that it's no big deal that Patrick is attracted to her mom. She says that mothers and daughters share attributes and it's natural, but Robin can't think of one thing she has in common with Anna.
Jerry finds Alexis at the hospital and tries to apologize. She doesn't want to hear anything from him and tells him about Kristina's setback. He interrupts and says he was burying Coop and that is why he was gone. Jerry gives Kristina a rose but she doesn't respond. Lainey examines Kristina and tells Alexis to give the girl time and treat her normally. When she leaves Alexis turns on Jerry, asking why he was helping Coop. Jerry tells her about the hostage crisis and admits Coop was one of his men. "Who are you?" she asks, not really wanting an answer. Alexis grabs her things and takes Kristina home. Jerry follows them.

Why Holistic Child Development?
Holistic. Body, mind, heart and spirit. It makes all the difference in the world.
Teaching Home Economics With Common Sense
Moms in our Child Survival Program typically lack the opportunity to learn basic home economics skills. Knowledge that we consider common sense is not always common for them.
How Do We Teach the Children in Our Programs?
Our holistic child development model is central to our mission of releasing children from poverty in Jesus' name. And the curriculum standards we have put in place in all of our programs are key to achieving this goal. We have created a global curriculum to help develop children holistically—physically, spiritually, cognitively and socio-emotionally. It…
God has brought about an incredible transformation in the lives of the children, their families and this community. The children regularly attend schools. The educational standard of the children has improved. About 40 children participate in sports activities and they have received many prizes in school and higher-level competitions.
Foster Development, Not Dependence
Development is what Compassion is about. We don't want to give a handout; we want to do the things that will truly help a child become a self-sustaining, responsible adult.
Child Development vs. Community Development
Some people ask why we focus on individual child development rather than focusing on community development.
Here's the answer – straight from the mouth of Tony Neeves, our vice president of international development.
We Have Arrived Safely in Uganda!
We arrived at the airport in Entebbe Uganda at approximately 11:00 p.m. Uganda time yesterday. We are thankful for the following:
a safe journey
all of our flights were generally on schedule and no flights were missed
all of our luggage arrived at its intended destination
good Christian travel companions
a friendly and helpful Compassion Uganda staff to meet us at the airport

Nancy Gianni's daughter, GiGi, was born with Down Syndrome.
"We were so bombarded with negatives when she was born and no one truly saw the potential," she said. "Even the medical community didn't give me a lot of positives."
So Gianni founded GiGi's Playhouse, a resource center specifically designed for children just like her daughter. This weekend, they opened their 13th location in St. Louis Park.
GiGi's Playhouse offers therapeutic learning and development tools to build self esteem both for people with down syndrome and their families.
"He's a kid, just like any other kid," said parent John Schwartz of his son, Jackson. "He's happy, he's sad, he has good moments, he has bad moments. And he likes being around people and hanging out and having a good time."
"The day you have a child with down syndrome they tell you every possible thing that could happen and they know nothing about what her life is going to be," said Gianni.
Now GiGi's life is full of learning, interaction and lots of costumes.
After all, dreaming big is what it's all about.

This is a great place to eat a delicious meal in a wonderful atmosphere at a reasonable price. The service is excellent and I got a particular kick out of one of the waiters who alternately raised the right and left plates up and down in rhythm as he was bringing out each dish and walking to the table. It was almost like a dance. I've had saganaki before but this time decided to be adventurous and try the shrimp saganaki. It was absolutely delicious! The shrimp were cooked just right, not overdone. And the cheese complimented the shrimp perfectly. I would come back to this place for that dish alone, but also enjoyed the other dishes as well. If you want to have dinner in Greektown, this is definitely the place to go!

The food here is as good as all the other greek restaurants in the area, but with a nicer price tag. The lamb rosamarina is wonderful!!

Bus commuters rally to oppose service changes
Posted: February 28, 2014|
WORRIED residents in Newnham-on-Severn have stepped up their campaign to save their bus services.
Many people who live in the village usually travel to and from Gloucester using the Number 23 which goes from the city travelling through to Coleford.
Amber Powell, 21, who lives in Newnham, has set up a Facebook page to oppose the changes.
She said: "This is going to affect a lot of people. They currently have a bus leaving Gloucester at 6.10pm but it is changing and the last service for Number 23 will be at 5.40pm now.
"I use it every day because of work. My main concern is that my partner and my sister's partner work late and they will have to use the Number 30 or 31 bus which will drop them halfway to Cinderford and they will have to walk 45 minutes home or I will have to pick them up, which will mean I would not be able to go to the gym. People would have to give up certain commitments. Walking in the dark for 45 minutes is not nice for anyone.
"It is very upsetting to know that so many people will be affected by this and it just feels like we are not cared about."
Stagecoach will be changing many services in the Forest of Dean from March 30. They have confirmed there will be significant changes to the 23 service, particularly at peak times.
Some evening journeys have been withdrawn due to low usage. The last buses from Gloucester towards Lydney and from Coleford towards Gloucester are now earlier. There are also minor changes to times on Sundays.
However, people can use the Number 30 or 31 bus which will run from Gloucester to Cinderford on to Coleford. On Mondays to Saturdays, the last bus from Gloucester will now leave at 11.05pm.
Claire Haines, who uses the Number 23 to visit her gran after work, is also against the changes. She said: "I work in the city centre and catch the 23 service at least three times a week to go to Newnham to visit my gran.
"I am concerned about the changes because I do not finish work until 6pm and I usually get the 6.10pm. I will have to take the 30 or 31 and ask a friend in Cinderford to drop me the rest of the way, which is not always convenient. My gran is quite isolated anyway and now I can only go to see her once or twice a week. I have not told her this yet because she will just worry."
Eddie Roberts, 65, from Newnham, said: "The changes will affect me because I often visit my friend in hospital, so I get the bus according to the visiting times. I have only lived here for five years and all my friends live in Gloucester which is where my social life is. The 30 and 31 only takes us half way, I will have to walk at least three miles."
A spokesman from Stagecoach said: "During the past few months, we have been undertaking a major review of the bus network in the Forest of Dean and Ross-on-Wye areas and those routes that link to Gloucester and Hereford.
"We have also been analysing ticket machine data and carrying out roadside surveys. Some routes are very popular and are carrying more and more passengers, however some journeys are much less busy.
"We have also been reviewing suggestions from customers and our staff in addition to checking on which routes need their times adjusting to fit with current traffic congestion."

Vermont Governor-elect Peter Shumlin holds his inaugural ball on Friday, January 7, 2011, at Sugarbush, hosting over 1,000 guests, state dignitaries and other luminaries at the Warren ski area.
Shumlin is slated to be sworn in as Vermont governor at 1:30 p.m. today, January 6.
"We're really honored that Governor-elect Shumlin would choose
Sugarbush as the venue for his Inaugural Celebration. . . . He came here
in the fall for a Vermont Chamber of Commerce luncheon and said to me
afterwards how much he liked the feel of the base area. He said it felt
'very Vermont' to him," said Sugarbush president Win Smith.
All hands have been on deck at Sugarbush this week preparing for the event which will have a Vermont theme, said company spokesperson and vice president of marketing Candice White.
At the inaugural ball, Sugarbush will serve a variety of Vermont finger foods. Timbers Restaurant will serve as a milking parlor featuring Vermont dairy products. Castlerock Pub will be remade as an orchard where Vermont fruit products will be offered.
The Gate House Lodge will become the barnyard where Vermont poultry, Sugarbush chowder and local pork will be available. And, at the request of the governor-elect, there will be a late-night mini-Mackenzie hot dog station, White reported.
Entertainment for the ball will include a collection of Vermont musical acts. The Vermont inaugural all-stars will include Dave Grippo, Brian McCarthy, Russ Lawton, Ray Paczowski, Bob Wagner, Lowell Thompson, D Davis and Jon Rogone.
Many attendees will be staying at Clay Brook for the night and skiing the next day.

In six short years, Montreal's Osheaga Music and Arts Festival has become one of Canada's preeminent destinations for hundreds of bands and fans. According to folklore, Osheaga was the first name used to describe the area that would eventually become Montreal by its European settlers, a word descended down from the native Mohawks as the place "where they met the people of the shaking hands." These days, there are still plenty of shaking hands…and fists…and crowd surfers…and yeah you get the idea, hopefully! O-she-ha-ga, as it's pronounced, may as well stand for, "Most awesome music fest in Canada!"
Having been to Montreal several times before, and having covered Osheaga in 2010 for Consequence of Sound, it was found appropriate that I put together a survival guide to maximize the now THREE days of "rocksanity" an estimated 25,000 voyagers going to Parc Jean-Drapeau on ÃŽle Sainte-Hélène will experience from Friday, July 29th to Sunday the 31st. It's less of an itemized checklist and moreover a series of suggestions to, as the Osheaga organizers themselves put it, "have the time of your life!"
Montreal is a city made up of a number of islands – Osheaga takes place on one of the smaller ones off the "mainland," Saint Helen's Island (or ÃŽle Sainte-Hélène en français). It's easy to get to, as the well-traveled Jacques Cartier Bridge cuts right through the island. From the JC, you take the exit to La Ronde (a Six Flags amusement park) / Parc Jean-Drapeau (where the festival is actually held), followed by a slight right at Chemin du Tour de l'Isle. An infinitely better way to get to and from Osheaga, however, is by subway. The Montreal Metro system is one of the best and busiest in the world; the festival gates are right at Jean-Drapeau Station on the yellow line. Plan your trip with this interactive map!
(Each ride is $3.00 Canadian, BTW.)
Osheaga's layout is brilliantly simple and convenient, as everything is pretty much in a loop. The main concert area is actually comprised of two, identically-sized stages, side-by-side – The BlackBerry River Stage to the left and the Budweiser Mountain Stage on the right, near the entrance. If you look at the Osheaga schedule, you'll notice that at no time is there ever any overlap between the two. Just so you all know, there is a steel barrier separating the stages, so if you're near the front for say, Death Cab for Cutie on Sunday night, don't expect to get the same spot for The Flaming Lips afterwards as they perform The Soft Bulletin. There are video screens all around though to ensure no one misses a thing. The stages also look out to a fairly steep hill that is ideal for those who prefer to sit and take a load off.
Once you exit this enclosed space and move to your left, after a short walk you'll find yourself at the Green Stage powered by Sennheiser, free of any sound bleed from their BlackBerry or Budweiser counterparts. If you continue to go left (in a circle), you'll pass by the smaller Tree Stage, sponsored by Galaxie (a Canadian multilingual pay TV audio service), as well as the popular Electronic Picnic zone, where DJs will be mixing and spinning nonstop all weekend before eventually hitting merchandise alley and the main stages again.
Even though this technically is a survival guide, I probably shouldn't have to tell you to drink plenty of water while you whoop it up at Osheaga. It's going to be a hot one, with temperatures expected to hover near the 30° C (or 86° F) mark each day. You are totally allowed to bring a clear, plastic water bottle with you, which you can refill for free to your parched throat's content. And according to The Weather Network, there's also a chance of thundershowers throughout the weekend, so you may want to pack one of those disposable ponchos in a small backpack along with some requisite sunscreen. For those of you who are of the opinion that beer hydrates better than water, Osheaga has got you covered, and then some. You can consume alcohol pretty much anywhere on festival grounds thanks to Montreal's loosey goosey drinking laws (viewed as "awesome" by visiting partygoers). Not only that, they'll even bring the beer to YOU, as Osheaga is replete with servers holding platters of plastic cups aloft. I've seen them go through mosh pits to get thirsty folks their golden-hued relief, without spilling a single drop!
If this is one of your first times eating Montreal, it is a GREAT excuse to indulge in some of their trademark delicacies between sets. There's poutine, which is traditionally made up of French fries covered in rich gravy, topped off by fresh cheese curds – Just look for the unusually long line leading to the onsite 'Resto Lafleur.' There's also Montreal smoked meat, a must try while in town. There will definitely be at least one vendor selling it at Osheaga, but if you can, make your way to Schwartz's at 3895 Saint-Laurent Boulevard. Trust me; how many other delicatessens can claim to have a musical named after them?
Osheaga's lineup is especially top-notch this year, meaning there are bound to be conflicts between acts you're psyched about seeing in Montreal. If you haven't already, I suggest you join the other fans who have created their own custom lineup and have shared it online. Social aspect aside, it's actually a great way to get yourself coordinated beforehand so that you're not constantly referring to the souvenir program all weekend. Don't be that neanderthal who carries around a tattered printed copy of each day's schedule. Also, what's a festival these days without its own app? You should definitely download Osheaga's, available for both the iPhone and Android (but curiously not BlackBerry, even though the latter are a presenting partner). Finally, by following @Osheaga on Twitter and liking them on Facebook, there really is no reason to not know everything prior to and during the three days you'll be "deserted" on Saint Helen's Island.
Montreal has a well-earned reputation as quite the "party" city, so much so that it makes even Vegas blush! If you're game, there are plenty of things to do downtown once the headliner wraps up every night. On Saturday night, you can keep the music going by seeing Special Disco Version, featuring some guy named James Murphy and his former LCD Soundsytem drummer Pat Mahoney, part of Osheaga in the City. It's at the Olympia theatre on Sainte-Catherine Street East, which is less than a 10 minute drive from the parc as per Google Maps (or a short walk south from Beaudry Station). If you want to take a little break from concerts, let's just say that walking up and down Ste-Catherine can provide ample "distractions" in the form of bars and other immoral establishments. Come to think of it, this is more of a recipe for exhaustion than a survival tip, but oh well, when in Montreal…
Lastly, if you're coming to Osheaga from a (relatively) nearby American city like Boston or New York, or are a "unilingual" from English Canada, you can enrich your time in Montreal tenfold by trying to learn a little French. Considering most of the big acts don't (and probably won't) speak a word of français, you can get by just fine, but in my experience, Montrealers greatly appreciate it when you make an effort. I'm not saying this is the be-all and end-all when it comes to common phrases you should know for Osheaga , but it wouldn't hurt to attempt a few of these out on your new French-language friends.
You know, the nice folks you're probably going to end up being shoulder-to-shoulder with for several hours a day for three straight days. Just as a reminder, gates open at noon Saturday and Sunday, at three p.m. on Friday, and the festival goes until 11 p.m. every night. Ayez un grand temps à Osheaga !

Disclosure of Material Connection: I received one or more of the products or services mentioned above for free in the hope that I would mention it on my blog. This post may also contain affiliate links. This means if you click on the link and purchase the item, I will receive an affiliate commission. Regardless, I only recommend products or services I use personally and believe will add value to my readers.
I stumbled upon a Facebook post one day, offering a giveaway for a sports bra, or at least that's what I made of it at the time. I'm all about giveaways. I'm also all about pressing buttons and learning more about everything that I encounter. So when I stumbled upon this post, I pressed buttons and I learned more.
What I learned is that a 4-woman operation behind what was designed to initially be a sports bra, wished to move the manufacturing of their product from overseas (China in this case) to the good ole' USA. My primary job is in an industry where reshoring manufacturing efforts from overseas to the US is an everyday topic. The fact that this is wholly woman-owned (minority) business and that its efforts were to move manufacturing of a product ALL women can use on a daily basis, to the USA, intrigued me. I shared the heck out of the post because it's something I believe in.
I contacted the company and asked them if they'd be interested in working with me, as a blogger, for a review and (optional) giveaway. Impressed by their mission and my interactions with Jody, CFO of Handful, Inc., I continued promoting their cause regardless of the response. I wanted to see this happen! At the time, they only had 8 days left to reach a crowd sourcing goal on CrowdSupply of $50,000 with $20,000 to go still!
With only 4-5 days left in their crowd sourcing efforts, I received my Handful Adjustable Bra for review. Obviously, there was not enough time to post a thorough review. I like to use products I receive for review for at least 2 weeks (depending on the product).
Contrary to my M.O., I went ahead and posted a giveaway before using/reviewing the product itself. There were 3 lucky winners. Congrats to Shannon, winner of the Handful Original Bra, Ruth, winner of the Handful Tank, and Wendi, winner of the Handful Adjustable Bra.
Now that I've had a few weeks to wear the Handful Adjustable Bra, I must say that I'm in love. I originally thought it might spark my efforts to begin a long overdue fitness routine, but I've found that the Handful Adjustable Bra has become my new go-to bra for every day use.
As a 36-C (or even a 36-D when I'm not in denial), I've been uncomfortable with my size after several years of weight gain. I ordered a Medium. It fits well, back fat is visibly reduced, it's comfortable and covers and supports all necessary areas, in my opinion. After 8+ intense days of studying their site and sharing their efforts, I learned that I probably should have ordered a size large as there is still a bit of cleavage.
I was also EXTREMELY surprised that I had no desire to remove the pads that the Handful Adjustable Bra and other Handful products come with. Being a 36-C (or 36-D), pads are a no-no. The Handful Adjustable Bra actually makes this larger chested gal (on a small frame) feel comfortable, WITH THE PADS. The Handful Adjustable Bra offers only slight compression without creating the appearance of flatness. For smaller chested women it might actually flatter. This lives up to Handful's claim to flatter, not flatten.
The Handful Adjustable Bra comes with the adjustable straps criss-crossed. This is my preferred method of wearing it, as it maintains the lift that is necessary for a woman beyond her 20's. However, when attire requires a straight strap, I can quickly and easily switch it up without losing the lift, since it has adjustable straps for support.
For the function of a sports bra, it is best suited for those who are less endowed when used specifically for high-intensity fitness. However, I still feel that I am offered adequate support for medium-intensity fitness and lower as one with a larger handful.
A friend of mine has a Handful Original Bra and is also a 36-C. She adores it as an every-day bra as well. Over a period of a few months, I plan to replace most, if not all, of my bras with the Handful Adjustable Bra. I will also be adding some tanks for wear under everyday business casual attire. I've always worn underwire bras as I've not found a bra that offered the support needed without them. Now I can get that thorn out of my side – LITERALLY!! Bye-bye underwire!
Now that the Handful has reached their goal and will be manufactured in the USA, I will be (more) proud to support Handful. The costs before reshoring were not inexpensive. In my opinion, I believe it's due to the high quality of the product. If it increases ever so slightly due to moving manufacturing to the U.S. I will still support it, due to the comfort levels experienced personally.
I highly recommend the Handful line of products. Handful is an approved mastectomy bra, with one of the 4 owners, being a double-mastectomy survivor!
P.S. If it wasn't made clear….
They Did It
Handful Bras are now proudly being
Made in the USA!

Never Cry Wolf (original 1963; edition 1983)
by Farley Mowat
Work details
Never Cry Wolf by Farley Mowat (1963)
I read this long time ago - not too long after the movie, I think. I do recall I liked it. Probably should read it again.
Bleh. One of the most uninteresting and horribly written book I've read in a while.
Want proof? It took me nearly a month to read this book.
Not only that, but its filled with blatant lies about wolves.
Example: According to this garbagebook, apparently wolves live off of mice. Coming from someone who knows little regarding wolves prior to reading this novel, I know for a fact that wolves do NOT only eat mice. What a ridiculous lie.
All in all, this book was a waste of my time. I appreciate that it tried to make people less afraid of wolves, but it sadly failed in that.
A very entertaining (and slightly frightening) look at how Canadian bureaucracy sends Farley as a young biologist off into the true northern wilderness to spend perhaps one to two years alone studying wolves. From the supplies they send with him you know they expect him to report that wolves are bad bad bad and you should kill kill kill them all so the hunters can have their caribou. Farley expects to find what he has been told he will find, the "Big Bad Wolf." Instead, very quickly, he finds something different.
Farley's time there is transformative. You could say he goes native a bit. His observations, research and studies were ground breaking.
This is absolutely a book worth reading 50 years after it first came out.
Never Cry Wolf Review (Review)
"Never Cry Wolf" is about Farley Mowat and his love for biology. Farley Mowat begins an interest in biology when he is as young as five years old, when he sees two catfish at his grandmother's pond. As he grows older he is educated in biology and fulfills his dream of being a biologist. He is then called up by the Canadian Wildlife Service to investigate the problem for decreasing caribou population. The wildlife service blames this on the artic wolves. Mowat is sent to the Barren Lands where he finds out the real problem. He discovers the hunters are killing the caribou and soon realizes how much different the wolves really are.
"Never Cry Wolf" is more than just a biologist project. The book shows the true side of artic wolves. The book shows their behavior and how they live their lives in the Barren Lands. The hunters were the true antagonists of the decrease in deer population. Wolves were the public expectation of the problem. This shows that people are too quick to judge someone or something by its looks and by what others say about it. This novel is trying to show the external and internal purpose. The external purpose shows that wolves are not evil killing animals. The internal purpose shows that we can't assume anything about a person, place, thing, or idea.
The biggest quote that stuck out for me was, "We have doomed the wolf not for what it is, but for what we deliberately and mistakenly perceive it to be-the mythologized epitome of a savage ruthless killer- which is, in reality, no more than a reflected image of ourselves." This quote is the statement the book is trying to get across. That are perception on the wolf just shows how mistaken and evil we can be.
I have many likes about the book. I like how this book is written in a way that not just a biologist can read it, but all people can relate to his obstacles. His humor shown in the book makes it entertaining and keeps you interested. I also liked the main storyline of the novel. I liked the adventure from being a little kid and growing up to be a biologist, studying wolves in the Barren Lands of Canada. I do not have any dislikes; the only thing I was upset about was the hunters in the novel killing the caribou.
I recommend this book to all people interested in biology, wolves, and wildlife. This book is also good for people who are looking for a good read. The book is humorous, adventurous, and thrilling. This book is suited for kids in middle school and all the way up to senior citizens. I enjoyed this book and I know you will too!
This narrative breaks through all the preconceived perceptions of wolves and gives an unbiased perspective on a pack of wolves in their natural habitat, and on their human neighbors.

Amazon.com Product Description (ISBN 0316881791, Paperback)More than a half-century ago the Canadian Wildlife Service assigned the naturalist Farley Mowat to investigate why wolves were killing arctic caribou. Mowat's account of the summer he lived in the frozen tundra alone-studying the wolf population and developing a deep affection for the wolves (who were of no threat to caribou or man) and for a friendly Inuit tribe known as the Ihalmiut ("People of the Deer")-is a work that has become cherished by generations of readers, an indelible record of the myths and magic of wild wolves.

A biologist's official mission to study wolves turns up many unusual facts about their pattern of living.

Bald Eagle
To those who seek out birds on the banks of the Connecticut River, there is perhaps no sight so thrilling as that of a Bald Eagle soaring upstream over icy water on a still winter morning. The eagles size and majesty are awe-inspiring, and anyone who has observed the regal bearing of an eagle as it rests on a riverside tree can easily understand why the species has been chosen as our national symbol. Even immature birds, which lack the white head and tail of the archetypal adult Bald Eagle, possess the combination of grace and power that so impress observers.
These days, a winter visitor to the river stands a decent chance of seeing an eagle, but this was not the case in years past. As recently as 1979, for example, a winter survey of the entire state of Massachusetts turned up only 9 Bald Eagles. Since then, thanks in part to an aggressive re-introduction effort carried out by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, eagles have become much more common in the state. Now, about 70 eagles spend the winter in Massachusetts. The majority of these wintering eagles are found at the Quabbin Reservoir, but many also spend the winter foraging on the Connecticut River.
The eagle restoration project has been so successful that the presence of Bald Eagles in Massachusetts is no longer limited to winter. For the first time in a century, a few active eagle nests can be found in the state. One of those nests (pictured at left) is about 60 feet off the ground on an island in the Connecticut River, at Bartons Cove in Gill. The nest is monitored by a video camera thats connected to the Internet, so feel free to take a closer look at whats going on there now. At Bartons Cove, eagles typically hatch in mid-April, after a 35-day incubation period, and may remain in the nest until late July (in general, Bald Eagle chicks remain in the nest for between 70 and 90 days prior to fledging).
The increasing number of Bald Eagles in the Connecticut River Valley mirrors a nationwide trend. The eagle population in the lower 48 states, which had declined so drastically that the species was officially classified as endangered in 1978, is on the rise. The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service views the return of Bald Eagle as one of the great success stories of the Endangered Species Act, and in 1995 declared that the species was no longer endangered and downgraded its status to "threatened." More recently (1998), the USFWS announced its intention to declare the Bald Eagle "recovered," and to remove it from threatened status. In some places, such as the Pacific Northwest, eagles are becoming common even in densely inhabited areas, where some human residents view the birds (which may harass zoo animals and house pets) as pests.
But here in New England, the sight of an eagle is still sufficiently rare that the bird retains its mystique. The eagles image might be tarnished just slightly, however, if the public had more knowledge of the great birds eating habits. Bald Eagles are not averse to feeding on road-kill and other carrion, and have been known to steal prey from other, smaller birds. An eagles preferred meal, however, seems to be fresh fish, so eagles are usually found near water.

4 children die in NY house fireThe Associated Press | September 01,2013ELMIRA, N.Y. A fire tore through a home, spewing flames from the windows and killing four children, neighbors said.
The four victims had been pulled from the burning upstate New York home by firefighters and medics but died later.
The blaze swept through the two-story home, on a tidy block in the riverside city of Elmira, south of New Yorks Finger Lakes near the Pennsylvania border, on Friday night. Fire officials said the building was engulfed in flames when they arrived.
Police didnt immediately release the names and ages of the victims but confirmed on Saturday that children were among them.
Firefighters had the blaze under control fairly quickly, officials said. The victims were found on the second floor in the home.MORE IN Wire NewsRowdy Roddy Piper, the kilt-wearing trash-talker who headlined the first WrestleMania and later... Full StoryALPHARETTA, Ga.

Patty Bigbee: Missouri Lottery Winner Accused of Trying to Sell Grandson for Cash
Categories: Dirty Rotten Scoundrels
|Patty Bigbee: Also accused of selling a daughter 25 years earlier.
Bigbee has a long criminal history. She was convicted of passing bad checks in Ohio in the 1990s. In 2007 she was released from prison in Michigan after serving an eight-year sentence for armed robbery. She lived in St. Louis for only a brief time before taking her lottery winning and moving to Florida.
That's where she became reconnected to her 22-year-old daughter, Stephanie Bigbee-Fleming who'd just given birth to the baby and was also in need of money.
According to reports, grandma and mother hatched a plan to sell the baby. The buyer? Another of Bigbee's daughters, 26-year-old Danielle Skiver, whom she'd recently reconnected with on Facebook.
Bigbee allegedly told Skiver that she and the mother couldn't afford to care for the baby. Would Skiver want to adopt the child -- for a fee? Once money became involved Skiver said she had to alert authorities. She says that she, too, had been sold by Bigbee while she was still a baby and that Bigbee often blackmailed her adoptive parents for additional money by threatening to ask for the child back.
Authorities further allege that Bigbee was also trying to rip-off her daughter Bigbee-Fleming, who thought that her baby was being sold for $10,000 -- $9,000 of which she'd get for the purchase of a car. Instead, Bigbee allegedly planned to sell the baby for much more and keep the lion's share of the proceeds. Bigbee and her boyfriend were arrested in a Best Buy parking lot last week in Daytona Beach where they met Skiver to accept a check for the baby.
