No. 09/747,204 filed Dec. 21, 2000, which claims priority from U.S. Provisional Application Ser. No. 60/171,821 filed Dec. 21, 1999 and from U.S. Provisional Application Ser. No. 60/178,122 filed Jan. 26, 2000, which applications are herein incorporated by reference.
The present invention relates generally to the field of database administration and, more specifically, to a method of creating and communicating notes concerning an auction participant or item within a network-based auction facility.
The administration of a Web site, and specifically a commerce Web site, often demands that information concerning a user of tools and facilities provided by the Web site be communicated between various administrative personnel. It is important that the delivery mechanism for such information be reliable and up-to-date, as the failure to communicate information, or the miscommunication of information, may have very serious consequences for a commerce Web site.
While e-mail provides one mechanism commonly used for communications between administrative personnel, e-mail may not be a desirable solution due to the variety of the e-mail clients that may be employed by administrative personnel and problems with e-mail delivery.
Further, e-mail does not provide persistent or "sticky" information concerning an event concerning a user or item transacted via a commerce Web site.
The present invention is illustrated by way of example and not limitation in the figures of the accompanying drawings, in which like references indicate similar elements and in which:
A method and system for communicating information within a network-based auction facility are described. In the following description, for purposes of explanation, numerous specific details are set forth in order to provide a thorough understanding of the present invention. It will be evident, however, to one skilled in the art that the present invention may be practiced without these specific details.
For the purposes of the present specification, the term "note" shall be taken to refer to any textual or graphic description, comment or communication. The term "participant" shall be taken to refer to any entity, human or automated, that contributes to, or participates in, a transaction, communication or process.
The auction facility 10 includes one or more of a number of types of front-end servers, namely page servers 12 that deliver web pages (e.g., markup language documents), picture servers 14 that dynamically deliver images to be displayed within Web pages, listing servers 16, CGI servers 18 that provide an intelligent interface to the back-end of facility 10, and search servers 20 that handle search requests to the facility 10. E-mail servers 21 provide, inter alia, automated e-mail communications to users of the facility 10.
The back-end services include a database engine server 22, a search index server 24 and a credit card database server 26, each of which maintains and facilitates access to a respective database. The back-end is also shown to include a number of administrative applications or functions 28 that are described in further detail below.
The network-based auction facility 10 may be accessed by a client program 30, such as a browser (e.g., the Internet Explorer distributed by Microsoft Corp. of Redmond, Wash.) that executes on a client machine 32 and accesses the facility 10 via a network such as, for example, the Internet 34.
A number of other tables are also shown to be linked to the user table 40, namely a user past aliases table 50, a feedback table 52, a bids table 54, an accounts table 56, and an account balances table 58.
As described above with reference to
The note record 60 is shown to include a number of fields, each of which is briefly discussed below:
Each of the administrative applications 28 may call a note Application Program Interface (API) 100 that embodies a note creation function 102, a note search function 104, and a note display function 105. The note creation function 102 facilitates the storage of notes as note records 60 including the data elements, or fields, described above. The note creation function 102 also allows note records 60 to be removed individually, or in a batch utilizing other criteria. The note creation function 102 also, in turn, calls one or more note creation User Interfaces (UI's) 106 that each present a number of input fields, for example corresponding to the fields of a note record 60, via which a user (e.g., an administrator) can input information to populate the fields of a note record 60. As mentioned above, respective sets of type information and subject information may be presented by a creation UI 106 as drop-down menus. A creation UI 106 may also perform a validation, or authentication, function by requiring an administrator to input a user ID and password that are validated before creation of a note record 60 utilizing information supplied via the relevant creation UI 106. In one embodiment, a creation UI 106 may (1) display an HTML form (e.g., add note.HTML) that presents a number input fields, (2) perform a further validation operation of the user ID and password, as well as of other information that is being submitted (e.g., administrator or participant address information, subject information and type information), and (3) if the submitted information is all valid, communicate this information to the API 100 for storage as a note record 60 and display a confirmation screen to the relevant administrator. If the validation operation identifies any inputted information as being invalid or incorrect, this is communicated by the note creation UI 106 to the administrator.
The note search function 104 facilitates the searching of note records 60, within the note table 48, based on any one of a number of fields (e.g., administrator address or identifier, participant address or identifier, item number, type information, subject information, etc.). The note search function 104, in turn, may call one or more note search User Interfaces (UI's) 108 that present a number of input fields for specifying search criteria. As with the note creation UI's 106, the note search UI's 108 may perform a validation function by requiring an administrator to input a user ID and password that are validated before permitting a search operation. If the validation operation identifies any input information as being invalid or incorrect, this is communicated by the note search URI 108 to the searcher.
At block 114, the note search function 104, via the search UI 108, displays textual information concerning a participant or item located by the search. At block 116, the note search function 104, again via the search UI 108, displays a note icon adjacent the displayed textual information to indicate that at least one note, embodied within a note record 60, is associated with the located participant or item. In one embodiment, where the search URI 108 displays the results of the search as an HTML document, the note icon may have a Uniform Resource Locator (URL) associated therewith that specifies a web or directory path to a script (e.g., a CGI script) that invokes a note display function 105 embodied within the API 100.
The note icon may further be a static or dynamic image, graphic or text that is visually associated the displayed information.
At decision box 118, the note search UI 108 determines whether, for example, an administrator has selected the displayed note icon for the participant or item. For example, the search UI 108 may register a "click" or "double-click" operation performed by the administrator utilizing a cursor control device (e.g., a mouse). If so, at block 120, the method 110 displays a list of notes (or messages) for the located participant or item. As described above, user selection of the note icon, embedded in HTML document, may in one embodiment invoke a note display function 105 that retrieves all note records 60 for the located participant or item, and populates a note display UI 109 (e.g., HTML page) utilizing the retrieved note records 60.
The display of a note icon by the note search function 104 ensures that an administrator is presented with the option of retrieving notes, or messages, that administrators may have created with respect to a participant or item regardless of an original addressee of the note. As the note is associated with the subject thereof, as opposed to the addressor or addressee, it is ensured that any administrator accessing information concerning the subject (e.g., a participant or item) will be made aware of the existence of the note. Further, as the UI's may, in one embodiment, comprise markup language documents (e.g., HTML documents) that are viewable by a browser, traditional e-mail channels for communicating administrative notes may be avoided.
A "note category" field 152 provides a drop-down menu of note categories that are user selectable to locate notes pertaining only to a specific category. For example, the drop-down menu presented within the field 152 may specify a "reinstate" category that is user selectable to identify notes pertaining to reinstatement actions formed by administrators. It will be appreciated that categories into which notes may be organized is dependent on the type of facility being administered, and also upon the design of the auction facility 10. Accordingly, a wide variety of categories could be presented for selection as input to the "note category" field 152.
At block 164, the administrator inputs a user ID, or e-mail address. At block 166, the administrator inputs a password, and at block 168 the administrator specifies a user, item or auction to which the relevant note pertains. The information inputted at blocks 164, 166 and 168 is subject to a validation operation by the note creation function 102.
At block 170, the administrator may then input specific information relevant to the note. Merely for example, the administrator may specify whether a user is to be suspended, fees are to be credited to the seller, bidders on the auction are to be e-mailed regarding an auction, and what the message type is. The administrator may also input pertinent text information, and select further participants, items or auctions to which the note applies.
At block 172, the administrator then submits the note content via the API 100.
At decision block 176, a determination is made as to whether the note is valid by, for example, performing validation checks on the information inputted at blocks 164-172. If not, a rejection report is generated at block 178. Alternatively, at block 180, the API 100, and specifically the note creation function 102, creates a record in the database 23, and specifically within the note table 48, associated with the specified participant item or auction. At block 182, an administrative function that invoked the note creation function 102 may perform other function specific operations (e.g., marking a user record as being suspended or removing an item from the auction facility 10 to update the database 23). The method 160 then ends at block 184.
The UI 205 includes a user ID field 206, a password field 208 and an "auctions to end" field 210. An administrator may enter the identification numbers or codes for auctions to be entered into the field 210. The administrator is further given the option to suspend a user, credit fees to a seller, and e-mail bidders on an auction by selection of the appropriate radio buttons in the fields 212, 214 and 216.
A "reason" field 218 includes a drop-down menu that presents a predetermined and authorized list of reasons for ending an auction for selection by the administrator. Finally, in the "text" field 220, an administrator may enter additional text or description regarding the ending of the relevant auction or auctions.
Any of the UI's, or interfaces, discussed above may further include an "expiration" field, into which an administrator may input a time period within which, or date by which, a relevant note will expire. This information may then populate the expiration field 82 of a note record 60. In a further embodiment, the expiration field 82 may be automatically populated by a housekeeping function.
The computer system 300 includes a processor 302, a main memory 304 and a static memory 306, which communicate with each other via a bus 308. The computer system 300 may further include a video display unit 310 (e.g., a liquid crystal display (LCD) or a cathode ray tube (CRT)). The computer system 300 also includes an alpha-numeric input device 312 (e.g. a keyboard), a cursor control device 314 (e.g. a mouse), a disk drive unit 316, a signal generation device 318 (e.g. a speaker) and a network interface device 320.
The disk drive unit 316 includes a machine-readable medium 322 on which is stored a set of instructions (i.e., software) 324 embodying any one, or all, of the methodologies described above. The software 324 is also shown to reside, completely or at least partially, within the main memory 304 and/or within the processor 302. The software 324 may further be transmitted or received via the network interface device 320. For the purposes of this specification, the term "machine-readable medium" shall be taken to include any medium which is capable of storing or encoding a sequence of instructions for execution by the machine and that cause the machine to perform any one of the methodologies of the present invention. The term "machine-readable medium" shall accordingly be taken to included, but not be limited to, solid-state memories, optical and magnetic disks, and carrier wave signals.
Thus, a method and system for communicating information within a network-based auction facility have been described. Although the present invention has been described with reference to specific exemplary embodiments, it will be evident that various modifications and changes may be made to these embodiments without departing from the broader spirit and scope of the invention. Accordingly, the specification and drawings are to be regarded in an illustrative rather than a restrictive sense.

Point Stephens Lighthouse Keepers House
Go to the
Register of the National Estate
for more information.
Fingal Bay
Port Stephens Shire
Statement of
Point Stephens Light Keepers' Quarters, built in 1862 is significant as an assemblage of buildings which demonstrate the establishment and evolution of an Australian lighthouse complex over time. (Criterion A.4)
The quarters are significant for their association with Alexander Dawson, the Colonial Architect of New South Wales in the period 1858-62. Comparatively few substantial complete buildings of his design were constructed, and the residence is a significant example of his work. (Criterion H.1)
The remnants of the Keepers Quarters are significant as the only example in Australia of a terrace of lighthouse keepers' quarters. (Criteria B.2 and F.1)
Point Stephens Light Keepers' Quarters is located at the tip of Point Stephens which is at various times connected to the mainland by a sand spit. The high point is Mount Stephens, 77m above sea level. On the shore line is a band of hard igneous rock. The island is vegetated by a low heath. Point Stephens Lightstation and Point Stephens Lighthouse are listed on the Register of the National Estate. For further information regarding the Point Stephens Lighthouse refer to File No 1/9/64/2, RR No 001321, and File No 1/9/64/1, RR No 1320 for Point Stephens Lightstation in the Australian Heritage Commission Register of the National Estate Database. Accommodation for the Head Keeper and two Assistant Keepers were provided originally in a terrace of three one storeyed cottages, all under one massive terra cotta (originally slate) roof, broken by five chimneys along the ridge and by an arrangement of a bay window and gable along the front. The Head Keeper's Cottage had six rooms, and the Assistant Keeper's having three rooms each. All cottages were provided wtih kitchens, storerooms and privies. The building was constructed of the same imported sandstone as the lighthouse, and dressed externally and plastered inside. Two underground rainwater tanks, each with a capacity of 7,650 gallons were also originally provided. At the rear of the building a random stone low terrace was built. The building was gutted by fire in September 1991. In early 1992 security fencing was installed around the building, and the chimneys and gables stabilised by being shored up by new brickwork. Prior to the opening of the Point Stephens Lightstation twenty four vessels were known to have been wrecked in the area. The most serious of these was the wreck of the Dove in 1828 with the loss of seven lives, and the Pandora in 1836 with five lives. One of the reasons for these misfortunes was the mistaking by mariners of the entrance to Fingal Bay for that of Port Stephens. The Point Stephens Lightstation was also established to assist vessels entering Port Stephens.

Glaziers Rent
Susan Matthews
Antique glass, acid etched, painted and stained. As the finished size of the panel is small I thought it necessary to make something complete yet readable within a foot square. Having designed and made the Glaziers Rent in 2002 which worked quite well, I decided to reduce the design slightly and re-use it although it proved quite difficult. I like to use paint on glass and to create dark backgrounds from which the colours can spring out. Sadly I don't get enough time or commissions to do this very often and hence skills get rusty. Working in the Stained Glass Museum in Ely gives lots of opportunity to study fine work.

Yes, this is North Dakota, there is much to seeFreedom. There is nothing more invigorating than freedom. Freedom is many things to different people. To me, it is the sun warming my skin. It is clarity and lungs full of clean, fresh air.
By: Lorissa Lenertz, West Fargo Pioneer
Freedom. There is nothing more invigorating than freedom. Freedom is many things to different people. To me, it is the sun warming my skin. It is clarity and lungs full of clean, fresh air.
We decided to make a tribute drive day to our area. To the Sheyenne River, in fact. The beauty of nature that begins in some of our very own back yards. The plan was to visit the Sheyenne River Valley National Scenic Byway.
The map: Begin on Sheyenne in West Fargo, continue south on 17 through Horace, west on 46 to Lisbon where the scenic byway begins. It winds north through Fort Ransom, Kathryn, and Valley City to Baldhill Dam.
As we made our way south on Sheyenne, the billowy gray clouds were lit up by the sun that was not visible to us but made the clouds glow. They looked majestic!
These miles showed us farmland with the crops barely peeking above the black earth. One area had an old church lifted in the middle of the field; I cannot wait to visit again later in the season to see it sitting on the hill with a growing crop. How much more original to North Dakota can you get?
As we pulled into Lisbon on the immediate right was a sign, "America's Byways" and a gravel road expanded behind the sign. We found ourselves in a valley with lush green trees all around us. As we continued upon these curves the shades of green became more intricate.
This countryside was scattered with little towns and ranches. One particular sheep ranch had beautiful white (and very large) dogs standing watch. They stood so still, just watching, and we were no exception. They kept their eyes on us and did not discount the possible threat that we posed. They did not watch all at once as I would have expected, but just one at a time: casual but stern. A system, if you will. A couple of young black sheep even dotted our vision among the white.
At one point we came upon Pyramid Hill by Fort Ransom, with the statue of the Viking on top. We took the Walt Hjelle Parkway (also a gravel road) and continued to follow it. We came upon a cottage across from a fishing hole with a small waterfall. We drove past a couple of spots where part of the earth had been removed from a hill and we could see the different layers and colors of the soil. We came upon Preston Lutheran Church. Systematically enough as we passed through looking at the soil and lush trees, Lee Greenwood's "God Bless the USA" played through the radio.
We passed a farmstead that had two tall banks with a wooden and rope bridge between the two. This vision was striking. It was the last thing I expected to see in North Dakota. Part of it had broken and was hanging just like in the movies. Closer to the road was a huge red barn with bright white letters stating, 'God made all of it.'
Some time after this, the road became unusually straight and we found ourselves on a highway passing a sign that said, "Dickey 19 miles". Dickey? Um…I didn't remember seeing Dickey along the route map. We hadn't even taken any turns lately! Where is Dickey in relation to where we were supposed to be anyway?
After we collected our thoughts from the shock of being lost and not even knowing it, we regrouped, looking over the map for an entryway onto the byway once again. As it turns out, Dickey is just west of where we were supposed to be.
We were led to a still gravel road, that led us by Waldheim Lutheran Church (have you ever noticed that prairie churches seem to be white with red bottoms?) and Wadeson Park historic site where we were able to view a hand hewn cabin. (http://www.thefreedictionary.com/hand-hewn defines this as "Adj. 1. hand-hewn - cut or shaped with hard blows of a heavy cutting instrument like an ax or chisel; "a house built of hewn logs")."
By Kathryn we were able to view a monument signifying a school and barn. The air here seemed the cleanest of anywhere I had been before. The grass was clean, the clover was abundant and the lilac scent was deep. We were able to learn about barns and farm homes from the monument.
As we rolled into Valley City, the lushness continued with large rocks in the hillsides. Unfortunately, with all the wasted time we had we were unable to finish the ride at Bald Hill Dam Overlook. After a brief store visit we were able to head east on I-94 back toward home.
This trip was much more than I had expected. I was concerned that the day was too cloudy to be able to enjoy too much of the scenery, but it was as beautiful as ever. I think that it is important for each of us to learn about different parts of North Dakota and what it has to offer. I wonder how many people don't know what this beautiful country around us looks like. How many of us actually take the time to utilize the back roads to look at this landscape? I was very surprised to see the extent of the beauty that I did not know was there, and the great thing about it, there is more to see! I do hear some people say, "there's nothing here" but I swear that the people who say that have never seen the sun reflect off of the wheat fields or have waved to people walking on their farmstead and having them wave back to you. There is so much here. It is North Dakota.

(Kent, OH) Kent Elastomer Products, Inc., a manufacturer of tubing and assembled components for the food and beverage industry, has earned a Safe Quality Food (SQF) Level 1 Certification under the Global Food Safety Edition 7.1 for its facility in Mogadore, Ohio. Ashland, Virginia (PRWEB) July 23, 2014-- Up to now, measuring the quality parameters of very different alcoholic beverages required a number of measuring instruments to cover each range. There was no single instrument which could measure beers, wines and spirits. To meet this need, Anton Paar provides the Alcolyzer ME measuring module, which makes it possible to measure the alcohol content of all alcoholic beverages with a single alcohol meter, just by selecting the appropriate method. This greatly simplifies work for contract bottlers and multi-product beverage manufacturers, governmental test labs, customs and tax laboratories and companies involved in the development of new beverages. 07/28/14Avery Dennison Label and Packaging Materials announced the release of its new ClearCut S7450 adhesive designed for labels on wine, spirits and other beverages. The company reports S7450's "wet-out performance" allows for bonding between the film and the bottle surface even with a high degree of surface imperfections. S7450 also can reduce adhesive ooze and increase productivity. Details: averydennison.com

This is a quaint little BYOB that serves up some really quality food. We were introduced to it boyfriends and have gone out of our way to stop by and visited on number of occasions since. The food is well above average and the wait staff is always pleasant. Add to that the advantage of BYOB and you have the ingredients for a memorable evening! Be sure to save room for the lemoncelo cake!

My boyfriend and I decided to try out this new spot in town, after reading some reviews we weren't expecting much but decided to see for ourselves. We absolutley loved everything about this place! The place is adorable and very welcoming, like we were a friends dining room. The staff, who I believe are also the owners (which I love) were extremely friendly and attentive. The food was so delicious, I felt like I was eating my nonna's food (sorry nonna!). I am honestly shocked there wasn't a line out the door. I'm thrilled to say we found our new favorite spot in Elkins Park!

Simple - not a good place.

New owners very pretty outdoor area. Pizza was very good, other diners had two entrees, lasagna and chicken. Everyone was happy except for one thing- the bread was not up the quality of the rest of the food. We live in the neighborhood and we will definitely return. It was too hot for sitting outside but next time.!... so few restaurants in the area but now we have three in the Elkins Park shopping area also our fabulous Co-op.

This cozy restaurant with a view of the bustling Elkins park train station recently changed names from Leila's Trattoria to Scillian Trattoria. We had been disappointed in its previous incarnation but decided to try again. The menu was limited and only modestly interesting. I chose spaghetti with fried eggplant, tomato sauce, shaved dried ricotta and mint—which promised a refreshing meal on a very chilly early spring evening. My fiancé decided on the grilled swordfish, and we started by splitting a hot vegetable salad, which turned out to be the star of the night. Served piping hot, the salad was a nice mélange of hot roasted root vegetable and green beans tossed just before serving with a crisp spring mix. It was presented with cold, nondescript, just-okay bread, but was so tasty we didn't miss the good freshly baked bread we always hope for in Italian restaurants. Things went downhill quickly. My fiance's fish arrived at the table flopped onto a too-large platter, with a sparse handful of lettuce dumped around it. The fish looked gray and fatty. It was. Even worse, it smelled the way only a no-longer-fresh piece of fish smells. As a side, he was given merely a salad that appeared straight from a bag of mixed greens. No potato, no pasta, no other component but fish and uninspired salad. My entry was also a disappointment, but not an inedible one. I had hoped for al dente pasta topped with crisp fried eggplant slices and sprigs of mint. Instead, the pasta was soggy, the eggplant bits were small and, if fried, it was impossible to tell as they had been tossed into the over-abundant sauce. The shaved dried ricotta was nice, and there was a hint of mint in the dish, but no visible mint to be seen. All things considered, it was passable. It was also $19.00. My fiancé sent his fish back and asked for a menu from which to re-order. Our waitress at first seemed stunned by this, then smiled and brought a menu. W heard distinct criticism of the decision coming from the door to the kitchen, in which the entire staff was clustered, glaring. The next entry out was a handmade gnocchi with a creamy mushroom sauce. "It's like Cream of Mushroom soup with gnocchi," my fiancé whispered. I think that says it all, although I will add that the gnocchi were excellent. To sum up: The service was good at first, then ruined by what we overheard. The food was not good, and the prices were ridiculously high.

Top Chef Quickfire Zinfandel 2008
Zinfandel from Sonoma County, California
Winemaker's Notes
Quickfire Zinfandel is rich, dark rose in color. The nose captures brambly blackberry fruit. Anise, blueberry and black cherry notes flow through on the palate.
The 2008 Quickfire Dry Creek Valley Zinfandel elegantly represents the varietal and the venerable Dry Creek Valley appellation. It is precisely balanced and offers the outgoing fruitful tones and spicy undercurrents so appreciated by Zinfandel fans.
Critical Acclaim
Wine Spectator - "Offers smoky wild berry and cinnamon aromas as well as juicy cherry, fresh anise and white pepper flavors. "
Wine Enthusiast - "Rich and spicy, a Zinfandel for drinking with this summer's barbecue. It shows polished flavors of wild berries, currants, mocha, licorice and Canadian bacon. "
Top Chef Winery
Top Chef, Bravo's James Beard Award-winning food show, selected the Terlato Wine Group – owner of five premium California wineries – to craft elegant wines that are refined, well balanced and food friendly. The result: Quickfire Wines. For more than a half-century, the Terlato family has brought some of the world's finest wines to American tables to enhance the culinary experience, and Quickfire wines will now be among them.

About Sonoma CountyRelated Links:
Twice as large as Napa in size, Sonoma County only makes about a half the amount of wine as her northeasterly neighbor. But Sonoma, with her size, is able to vouch for more diversity within her borders, including sub-AVAs that are climatically varied. The atmosphere of Sonoma is decidedly laid back and down home country style. But in wines, they are keeping up with the Joneses, or Napa-ites if you will. Grape varieties are more varied here, from Pinot Noir and Zinfandel to Cabernet Sauvignon and Chardonnay.
Notable FactsThe largest sub-AVAs of Sonoma include Dry Creek Valley, Russian River Valley, Alexander Valley and Sonoma Valley. Each sub-AVA, with its own micro-climate, is unique in its grape varieties and styles of wine. Dry Creek makes a mean Zinfandel while Russian River produces stand up Pinot Noir and Chardonnay. The Alexander Valley makes some of the better Cabernet Sauvignons in the county and Sonoma Valley creates excellent wines from all the above varieties. Other grapes found throughout Sonoma include Sauvignon Blanc, Merlot and Syrah.
About CaliforniaIt's not rare to see a wine's country of origin listed as "California." A country into itself in the wine world, California makes enough varieties and styles to match many European wine countries. It produces a diverse range of wines that span the quality spectrum.
The most famous of the California wine regions is Napa Valley, and these wines are certainly outstanding – but it's not as broad and diverse as its larger neighbor, Sonoma County. Down south, Santa Barbara's Santa Maria Valley is well-known for its Rhône blends, as well as cool-climate varieties like Pinot and Chardonnay. The Central Coast, the largest California AVA, has many different microclimates that lead to a wide range of wines with many sub-AVAs.
Customer ReviewsSign In to Add Your Review0 }div>
Alcohol By Volume GuideMost wine ranges from 10-16% alcohol by volume. Some varietals tend to have higher (for example Zinfandel and Cabernet Sauvignon) or lower alcohol levels (Pinot Noir and many white varietals), but there is always some variation from producer to producer. Some wine falls outside of this range, for instance Port weighs in closer to 20%, while Muscat and Riesling are usually a bit below 10%.
Wine Style Guide
Light & Fruity
- Red wines that are more fruit-forward and lighter in tannin and body.
Smooth & Supple
- Medium bodied reds that go down easy, with smooth tannins and supple fruit.
Earthy & Spicy
- Wines where earthy and/or spicy dominate the flavors – typically medium to full body.
Big & Bold
- Full bodied wines that have concentrated fruit and are higher in alcohol and/or tannins. Some need age.

4 cups
all-purpose flour
1/2 cup
white sugar
1 1/4 teaspoons
baking soda
1 1/2 teaspoons
ground cinnamon
1 teaspoon
ground cloves
1 teaspoon
ground nutmeg
1/2 teaspoon
ground allspice
1 dash
ground black pepper
3/4 cup
1/2 cup
eggs, beaten
1 1/2 cups
confectioners' sugar
This recipe is excellent, just like my German grandmother used to make for us during the holidays!
To those who say that this is not a traditional "peppernut" I say BAH! Not everyone likes Anise, and not all Pfefferneusse in the German tradition contain it!
This is a great recipe, turns out perfectly every time, even when doubled or tripled in quantity!
Having a 100% German mother and Grandmother this is more a molasses cookie than Pfeffernuesse although it does make a pretty good molasses cookie-if you want real Pffernuesse look for a recipe with honey, sour cream and most of all anise!

I don't know what "traditional" pfeffernuesse tastes like, but this recipe is great. Instead of dusting them with powdered sugar I made a thick glaze of powdered sugar, vanilla and water and dipped the tops in it. They were delicious.
These are FANTASTIC - I just made these for Christmas cookies and I am going to have to make another batch because we can't stop eating them! This was a different cookie technique, with the melting of the butter and molasses, but it was all very easy to make. They turned out beautifully - look like they came from a bakery.
Good! This is one of those recipes that needs to "marinate". The cookies did not have much flavour at first, but each day, they became increasingly flavourful. A keeper.
Excellent recipe. The best on line.
This was ok...i guess I was expecting something different. Too cakelike for me but the taste did improve the next day. I even added more spices than what it asked for. Maybe I'll make again but use less flour and more butter.
Not quite the taste I was looking for, but very good. I used organic blackstrap molasses, and whole wheat flour because I once again forgot to get more all-purpose. Turned out very well, will make again as cravings hit.

I am surprised SM doesn't have more reviews here. It's quite popular among Asian population of Philly's Chinatown. We are out-of-towners but when in Philly this is our first stop for great XLB as well as Cumin Lamb, Lion's head and other wonderful dishes they cook. The food mostly is out of this world. The service sometimes spotty but not bad at all. The ambiance is lovely and the value is great too. We are always back when in town.

This place is great and cheap. The food is so so good and if you go during there lunch specials (11am-4 I think) you get a lot of food for like $9! It's also a BYOB. They serve free tea and water so if you're on a budget, I would say that you can eat a whole lot of sushi for less then $15, and it will taste amazing!

Texas A&M University
Dr. Battisti's presentation made a broad sweep over many of the issues that we have talked about this week. He has thus given me the opportunity to touch on a few of these in relation to my own paper.
I tend to approach the question of long-time-scale change in an engineering fashion: I wonder whether we can tell from all the different records that we have whether there really is any anthropogenic forcing, and whether we are seeing any response to it. I recognize that there are many other reasons for studying these time scales, but this is certainly an important one. I find it particularly interesting that as we try to make some kind of statistical test of what we have seen in the last century, it is the frequencies just bordering on the decadal range from below for which we really need answers.
I should like to talk a little about two Hasselmann-type models, which could also be called default models. The first one is noise forcing on a mixed-layer slab model with geography; the other one is a deep-ocean extension of that, but still very crude: It distorts the spectrum somewhat at low frequencies. One of the things I noticed as we went through the week—Ed Sarachik and Bob Dickson have already mentioned it—is the failure of these models to generate intermediate water very well. That has a very important impact right in the frequency band (100 yr)-1 to (10 yr)-1. Also, one of the odd things about our deep-ocean model is that it cannot get information down to the thermocline area very well. The giant models adjust so quickly onto the ramp curve that I suspect they might be getting information down there too fast.
All this makes me wonder whether the kinds of things that Jim McWilliams brought up earlier might be fairly serious—for instance, when we construct our bottom topography out of stair steps. Going out in Reynolds number on that lovely bifurcation diagram that he showed is equivalent to going to higher and higher resolution. In our present models we have gone past only a couple of bifurcations, and it is hard to tell whether we are seeing fictitious oscillations in our model world that might go away if we were to go just a little bit further. I do not mean to criticize the people who are working on these models; I think they are doing what needs to be done. Consider, for instance, some of the things that Dr. Rooth and Dr. Barnett showed. I cannot help suspecting that if we were to look at the Mikolajewicz/ Maier-Reimer model, we might see a peak at 300 years (recall the film loop that we viewed earlier this week), and in the Delworth et al. work we might see a peak in the 50-year range. These would, of course, have a large impact on our ability to pick out a signal or to infer how rare such an excursion might be in, say, the last century. Clearly, we have a lot to do before we can unravel these problems, so I again raise Dr. McWilliams's issue.
I should also like to mention once more something that Dick Lindzen pointed out on the first day, since I think it is important but easy to miss. Up at the top of the ocean there is a "valve" that allows the radiation to go out and be absorbed. It amounts to an effective cooling coefficient, with all the feedbacks and everything that must go into it, and thus controls the spectrum and basically the sensitivity of the atmospheric model. If we have an otherwise good atmospheric model that does not do the clouds right, its sensitivity may be wrong by a factor of 2 or even 3, and that error will actually control the spectrum in the low-frequency range. It will have a rather important influence on fluctuations, even at the decadal level.
I hope that Dr. Battisti will open the discussion with some ideas about where we should be going in modeling, and particularly how fine the scales must be to get at some of the questions that we need to answer.

I just made Joyce Tromp's Floating Crystal Cube Necklace. It is my first chain maille project, so it took hours to get the hang of it, but now I understand!!
I WOULD LIKE TO MAKE EARRINGS TO MATCH. Is there a pattern out there somewhere that puts a crystal or bead or pearl or whatever into a bunch of silver rings?
I am not confident enough to try to do it myself, but with instructions, I am unstopable!!
By the way, the necklace is absolutely gorgeous, thanks to JMD.
I haven't tried this myself, but using smaller cubes and smaller, thinner jump rings you could make a looped dangle earring.

A Berkeley County man received a 25-year prison sentence Monday after pleading guilty to breaking into a Moncks Corner woman's home and raping her while he was on satellite monitoring.
Ninth Circuit Solicitor Scarlett Wilson said Brandon Bannister, 25, of Moncks Corner pleaded guilty to first-degree criminal sexual conduct and first-degree burglary.
Judge J.C. Nicholson Jr. imposed the sentence, and Bannister must serve 85 percent of his time before he is eligible for parole.
In the early morning hours of March 11, 2011, the victim, woke in her bedroom to find a stranger standing over her wearing dark clothing, latex gloves and a black shirt covering his face, Wilson said.
The intruder, later determined to be Bannister, sexually assaulted the woman before she escaped and dialed 911 as he ran off, Wilson said.
Although the victim was unable to identify her attacker, he dropped his Wal-Mart card at the scene, revealing his name, Wilson said. Moncks Corner police determined Bannister was out on bond for a previous offense and was wearing an ankle bracelet with a GPS satellite monitoring device, she said.
Once detectives discovered Bannister was subject to GPS monitoring, they were able to locate and arrest him immediately, Wilson said. Subsequent satellite monitoring reports confirmed he was at the crime scene at the time of the assault, she said.
"This is yet another case that highlights the sham of electronic monitoring and the reason I moved to halt this sort of monitoring," Wilson said. "This defendant was on bond for indecent exposure, which then escalated to full-blown rape while being monitored. Nobody was notified that this guy was out and about at a time when he was supposed to be under house arrest."
Wilson has been pushing for better oversight of electronic and satellite monitoring after several offenders were found freely roaming the streets around Charleston while they were supposed to be on house arrest.
Circuit Judge Stephanie McDonald presided over hearings on the subject and has vowed to penalize companies that don't closely monitor and report criminal defendants' whereabouts after they are released from jail with electronic trackers.
In early September, McDonald imposed a moratorium on placing more defendants on electronic monitoring while officials discuss what to do about the system she dubbed "a mess."
The moratorium marks the second time in six years authorities have suspended placements due to concerns that offenders released from jail to monitoring aren't being properly supervised.

"We're off to see the Wizard, the wonderful Wizard of Oz!"
Researchers in Spain are working on a plan to build a human heart. Yes, a human heart.
They've already built replacement bladders, ears, noses and other relatively simple parts through the miracle of stem-cell technology.
A human heart, however, is by far the most complicated task thus far undertaken.
In Frank Baum's classic childhood book, "The Wizard of Oz," Dorothy and her little dog Toto set out on the Yellow Brick Road to persuade the Wizard to send them home. They, you will recall, had been swept up by a huge tornado (spawned, no doubt, by global warming) from their farm in Kansas and then set down in the Land of Oz.
While off to seek the Wizard, Dorothy teams up with a scarecrow who needs a brain, a tin woodsman who wants a heart, and a cowardly lion who desperately yearns for courage. When, after many adventures, they reach the Wizard's palace, he proves to be a charlatan, as most wizards are.
He is also, however, a clever charlatan, and he sends the Scarecrow, the Tin Woodsman and the Cowardly Lion away respectively, with a "brain," a "heart" and an ample dose of "courage" that, while not exactly real, are somehow certified by the Wizard.
Anyway, Dorothy and Toto eventually find their way back to Aunty Em and the farm.
But you know the rest of that story.
Back to medical science and human replacement parts: We hope that researchers do not stop when, in an estimated 10 years or so, they succeed in building a usable human heart.
There is a crying need for an even more complicated replacement part, a part ever so needed now, not in the Land of Oz, but in the not-so-mythical District of Columbia — on Capitol Hill, in the White House and in the Federal Reserve.
It's a functioning human brain.

Is this exertion of executive power merely typical of contemporary civil rights & due process, or is it, as Senator Paul suggests, "an affront to the Constitutional due process rights of all Americans."
In 1954 Congress passed the Johnson Amendment (prepared by Lyndon Johnson) which said that non-profits (including churches) could not speak in favor of political candidates. Is this constitutional?
Hosted by Liberty editor Lincoln Steed, each half hour episode of "Liberty Insider" examines a contemporary news item, proposed piece of legislation, or international event and its religious liberty implications.
In this day and age of digital distribution, social media, and cultural upheaval, Liberty magazine continues to be a familiar friend to many--read by politicians, local civic leaders, and regular folk like us. Lincoln Steed, editor of Liberty magazine, talks about this journal and why he thinks its success is so highly sustainable.

Hi people of this website! As you may know this website has been somewhat abandoned for quite a while... Even I(LeopardIce) have kind of given up on it. So I've decided that I should stop denying the truth and tell it to you guys straight. I will no longer be coming on here or any of my other warrior cat role play sites. My character, LeopardIce, is officially dead. I've gotten too busy to update things so I thought it would be fair to make this decision. I will leave this website up so if anyone wants to RP on here you are welcome to. But I won't be monitoring it or changing anything. So that means play at your own risk. Whether you choose to have fun on this site or leave it is your choice. This was fun while it lasted. And to everyone who I got the chance to role play with I just want to say thanks for spending the time in your day. I hope you enjoyed what this website had to offer. Because that's all I was really hoping for.
If you have found this website you have come to us in a time of need. This is an old site that was almost abanndoned then restarted. We now need your help to advretise to get us back to being an active site. If you have any friends that like to role play as cats then please tell them too. Thanks!
Hi! I'm LeopardIce! I'm a grey tabby she cat with white tipped paws and tail. I have dark green eyes. I also role play many other members of my family. (Go to my profile to check who) I'm the owner of this site and leader of Moonclan. Plus, I have another site called Original Writingz where you can chat about any type of creative writing. So check it out! If your new and need help, feel free to ask me on my profile!
This is the role play (or RP) box. This is just for chating or asking any questions that you have. Please folow the rules found in LeopardIce's Blog.
I am writing a book! :D I have been writing it for 8 years (OMG such a long time!) and it will be done this year (2012.) I don't know how long it will take to get published but, I'm hoping that it will be out soon. Here is some info about it:
Title: Heather the Wanderer
Description (what I imagine will be on the back of the book): When a young fox's family disapears overnight she is sent into a horrible state of sadness. Just when all hope seems lost, she has a dream that tells her to find the ice lands. She journeys away from her forest home, unsure of anything that lies ahead. Will her family truly be at the end of her travels? And will she uncover a deeply hiden family secret along the way?

Charleston area residents weighed in Wednesday on whether it's a good idea to ban texting while driving:
"I try to avoid it. Sometimes I read them while driving. I think we overestimate how much we can multitask. I think it'd be hard not to use a GPS, but with texting, you can probably wait until you get where you're going, or you can call the person. My habits will change because I don't want to get a ticket."
Brenna Norton-Baker, 21, Charleston
"I just got my license. I feel like if I tried to text and drive, it would be over."
Alicia Houser, 20, Charleston
"I come from Europe where it has been banned for years. In Belgium, you are no longer permitted to not only text but to telephone. It's terribly distracting, so yes, it should be banned. But is it easy to enforce? I don't know."
Fred Jamar, 73, Charleston
"I used to do it all the time, but then I got this thing in my head where I thought about, what if I caused an accident and caused someone to lose their family member because I looked at a text? I get urges all the time to pick it up, but I'm like, no, it's not worth it. I'm really paranoid about cops anyway."
Hannah Craig, 21, Charleston
"I try not to text. I mostly do it at stoplights. I'm more into listening to my music anyway. Oh yes, the bill is a good idea. I always get nervous when people text and are swerving all over the place."
Blake Hendricks, 27, visiting from Greenville
"It's the same thing as drinking and driving. Texting can wait. I used to be a long-haul trucker, and one time I had my map up on the steering wheel to see if I had missed my exit, and between the time I looked down and looked back up, there was a big old truck in front of me and I had to slam on my brakes. If I had had a little more speed, there would have been an accident because I took my eyes off the road. And this is the same thing."
Donnie Smith, 62, North Charleston
"I'm just learning how to (text). I tried it while driving, but it's just too dangerous. And the kids don't call me, either. They'll leave a message or something. They don't text me when they know I'm driving. ... I don't think there's anything that's that important that can't wait until you stop. Or your can pull over to the side of the road if you think it's something important, like a granddaughter having a baby."
Anita Blewer, 74, North Charleston
"I will admit I do text and drive, but it's mostly for my job. I have to let the customer know when I'll be there, but I try to do that only at stoplights or stop signs where I know there's no one behind me. Other than that, only under emergency conditions. I think the ban is a great idea. I have no problem with it. I've almost gotten in a couple of accidents before because of texting. I'm just lucky I have a good foot."
Aaron Schmitt, 20, Summerville
"I used to text and drive. I don't anymore. You can see them as they're driving by, and you're like, why are you driving so slow? Oh, you're texting. "
George McFadden, 49, Goose Creek
"That's the best piece of legislation they've passed in years. If Haley can pull that off, God bless her. I'm happy. ... Absolutely nobody should do it and you should get a big old nasty fine."
Eric Fornell, 51, Mount Pleasant
"I have a 13-year-old, and I would honestly love to have that bill passed before he starts driving because it's dangerous and it's distracting. You might as well give someone alcohol. My husband's from Australia, and there you have to pull over to use your cellphone, and they're very strict about that. They have little designated areas for you to pull over and use your phone. It's a good idea."
Kellie Jacobs, 42, Mount Pleasant

Some tips on getting bulbs ready for winter
After a few days of cool weather and a gentle rain, many plants in our garden are rejuvenated. Having survived the hot summer days, the geraniums look perky with new leaves and buds. Cannas are even taller than a week ago but will suffer an ill fate with the first frost.
Each November, gardeners are faced with the decision to discard tender bulbs or to save a few for next spring's containers and in-ground gardens. If you are new to overwintering bulbs, here are a few steps using cannas as an example.
If the grouping of cannas bloomed profusely, the decision to keep bulbs will be an easy one. One original plant may multiply into a dozen or more bulbs. If saving more than one variety, be sure to label each one as it is removed from the ground. Use plastic grocery bags and write the name on the bag with a black marker.
For easy handling, cut the stem in half, discarding the upper half. Remove clump from the ground, remove as much of the soil as possible by hand, and wash away the remaining soil with the hose. Set bulbs aside in an enclosed area to dry; divide the bulbs.
After bulbs are separated, mix one gallon of water with a multipurpose fungicide according to label directions. For protection, wear rubber gloves, dip each bulb in the liquid and set aside to dry. Store bulbs in a cardboard (not plastic) box, layering bulbs in vermiculate. If storing more than one variety, use a separate box for each variety. Label the boxes.
When in doubt which bulbs to save, first evaluate the health and vigor of plants. If the performance was less than desirable, the reasons may vary — poor soil and/or drainage, immature bulbs, lack of water. When bulbs are immature, the first season's growth may yield only leaves. Do not discard these bulbs as they should do well the second summer.
Often tulips are treated as tender bulbs as the second year's growth is not as robust as the first year. In colder climates the bulbs are dug in early summer and replanted in the fall. In our area, the choice to dig and save tulips is up to the individual gardener. If the effect you want is a dramatic display in a prominent area, dig and replant. If using tulips in a naturalized, woodland setting, leave in ground as the display still will be very effective.
Each year, I try to save as many tender plants such as begonias as the sunny space in our home will allow. Always repot before bringing into the home for two reasons: to prevent insects from entering the home and to give plants a fresh start in new potting soil. In late winter, take cuttings to use in outdoor containers.
The Master Gardener Display Garden is an excellent place to visit late-blooming flowers, both annuals and perennials. Many of the gardens are in countdown mode as they're being prepared for winter. However, if you have time, stop by to view the remaining remnants of a beautiful garden.
Garden dos the next two weeks:
Plant spring flowering bulbs.
Use high nitrogen fertilizer on lawns.
Apply a weed preventive to garden beds.

It probably seems that I belong to the live-to-eat camp, everything I do revolve around food and that includes tweeting. And you probably envy me for the feasts and good food that I have all the time, right? Actually not quite. The truth is, there are many times where I get sick of everything.
Initially I thought it was because I had too much good food – that my taste buds were numbed so I didn't even feel excited, not even when there's so many delicacy in front of me, But really, it's a lot more serious than that. My problem is nutella. I can give up everything when there's chocolate hazelnut around, all I need is white bread, no I don't even need bread – I eat nutella from the jar.
I will never forget that fateful day, flashed back many many years ago; I was young and inquisitive, which was not a good combination. I saw a jar with white lid on the table, it smelt good, and I wondered if it tasted as good. So out of curiosity, I turned the top and stuck my finger into the dreamily sexual-looking spread. My shoulders shuddered as I carefully placed my thumb that had the glossy, brown spread, into my mouth. It tasted like chocolate, and there's something nutty about it. And I felt like I was in heaven, and you know what? I still feel the same way, every single time when I have it. Nutella is sex, no, nutella is even better than that.
It's one of those defining moments in life where you know everything will never be the same again. I blame nutella for everything.
As we entered the place, my eyes scanned through the menu and I knew immediately what to order – nutella tart. The thing about it was, you can never go wrong with nutella, unless, you put too little of it. And here, they manage to grasp this simple, yet profound logic. They drizzled tons and tons of nutella with the tart; the half-melted chocolate hazelnut on top of a oreo-based tart, perfect! I enjoyed every bite of it, and it tasted even better when you shared it. We also had the vanilla eclair, while it was pretty good, but it pales in comparison beside the nutella tart.

August 3, 2015
BIRMINGHAM, Ala. (AP) -- An Alabama coroner says the body of a man who held a 5-year-old hostage for nearly a week before being killed in a shootout with the FBI received `multiple gunshot wounds.'
Dale County Coroner Woodrow Hilboldt said he was allowed into the bunker where Jim Lee Dykes lay Wednesday evening and pronounced him dead at 8:58 p.m.
Hilboldt said Dykes' body had "multiple gunshot wounds," but he declined to give the exact number of wounds or where on his body he had been shot.
The coroner said Thursday that Dykes' body was taken to a state forensics laboratory in Montgomery for an autopsy.
The body of a man who fatally shot a school bus driver and held a 5-year-old boy hostage for nearly a week before dying in a shootout with the FBI has finally been removed from his underground bunker in Alabama.
FBI spokesman Jason Pack says the body was removed Wednesday night, after agents determined there were no other explosives on the property besides those that were discovered in a PVC pipe leading into the bunker and inside the bunker itself.
An autopsy was planned for Thursday. Dale County Coroner Woodrow Hilboldt has said it will be performed at the state forensic laboratory in Montgomery.
FBI agent Paul Bresson said Wednesday now that additional explosives have been ruled out, evidence-collection and review teams have begun sifting through the crime scene.

A flurry of art Artists spread out over Isles of Capri, Marco Island, Goodland for Wet Paint Live
It was somewhere between an art safari and a scavenger hunt. Carloads of Marco Islanders toured the area on Wednesday, tracking down artists as they daubed paint on their canvases, in this year's Wet Paint Live.
Nineteen local professional artists took up the challenge in this, the sixth annual outing for the Wet Paint Live event, working "en plein air" and completing a painting from start to finish in one day. The resulting canvases were then auctioned off in a fundraiser, held for the first time at the Rose History Auditorium at the Marco Island Historical Museum, with celebrity auctioneer Chris Lombardo presiding. Proceeds from Wet Paint Live were apportioned among the Marco Island Area Chamber of Commerce, their Leadership Marco Scholarship Fund, and MIFA, the Marco Island Foundation for the Arts.
There were artists, artists everywhere, from Isles of Capri to Goodland, where five painters – Paul Arsenault, Sara Jane Foltz, Mary Moran, Tara O'Neill and Karen Swanker – plied their brushes. Some were harder to find than others.
Crossing the Jolley Bridge onto the island, Phyllis Pransky could be seen at the top of the span painting the view which, she said, inspired her to relocate here. From the bridge, one could see Lee Horton on the dock at the Marco Island Yacht Club, and J.J. Stinchcomb on the beach at the foot of the bridge. Judy Chinski was there as well, painting up a storm; she had already finished two watercolors in riotous colors by 1 p.m., and was shifting location to start on a third.
Not all of the artists were comfortable turning out work at that pace. Artists have a perhaps well-earned reputation for their less than rigid adherence to deadlines, and knowing their painting had to be ready to go on the auction block that night, "wet paint" and all, could be tough.
"I'm going to get it done just in time," said Horton, painting a view of trees and sky at the yacht club. Event organizers, he said, stamp the canvases to be sure they are actually painted the day of the event. So buyers they are indeed getting fresh work, and the Marco art world avoids the equivalent of professional sports' doping scandals.
Betty Newman, who along with fellow painter and Wet Paint Live participating artist Chinski just opened a gallery at the Esplanade, joining Jo-Ann Sanborn who has her own space there, set up her easel strategically right outside the new retail space.
"I'm a little tired," she said. "We opened Sunday morning, and we've been going nonstop since Friday." Apparently, her creativity didn't suffer – the abstract painting she delivered to the auction was purchased by Vip Grover for $1,000 that evening.
Sanborn, William Ward Mosely, and Judy Harthorn also painted at the Esplanade. Caravans of art lovers made the rounds, following the handy map passed out and printed in the newspapers, and many were determined to track down each and every artist.
Paola and Bob Nisonger got a classy ride in Mark Ryan's 1998 Jaguar convertible. The Nisongers live in Michigan, where they said the temperature was 10 degrees Fahrenheit, so they were happy to be enjoying Marco's balmy breezes.
Carol Zeiler and Jane Fotopoulos, also making the rounds, would ordinarily be producing their own art "en plein air" on Wednesday, their regular outdoor painting day, but instead were touring and seeing other artists' interpretations of island scenes. Among what they described as excellent work they had seen, Jane singled out Sara Jane Foltz's painting as one she would like to own.
Thursday morning, no tally of the auction proceeds was available. Volunteers and chamber staff were still adding up the receipts from last week's "Souper Bowl," which also benefited the Leadership Marco Scholarship Fund.
But chamber volunteer Susie Walsh said she was very impressed by the readiness of attendees to open up their pocketbooks for both the live and silent auction items, and predicted a strong showing when the final count comes in.
"We were amazed at the way the bidding went. People were very generous," she said.

another question - how do you guys keep track of your projects? Is there an online program for the yarn type, where you bought it, when it was started, the pattern origin, etc. and when you finished it? I'd love (and be willing even to pay) for a program that did this for me :)
I want to journal my history of knitting in a concise and standard manner..
You know. I simply love handwriting in my journal adding pictures of the products, wools and yarns. I'm almost contemplating as I write this of the going to get some sort of scrapbooking supplies and making that be my journal.
When a program is found or developed..........please share.........getting organized would be great!
Try this little engine:
It's freeware and is also a calculator/converter from sts. to inches, etc. Very nifty, I think.
Let me know what you think.
For thems of you that are weavers, WinWeave.exe is POIFECT-a-MUNDO! Actually, you *could* design your pattern on winweave, print it out in graph form and VOICI! You'd have your charted knitting pattern. Hmmmmmm . . . . . . .

Imagination is Everything.
It is the preview of Life's coming attractions.
What I'm looking for is some sort of tracking program (not a patterning program) - something that will help me see what I'm knitting, when I started it, the yarn, pattern, etc. and when I finished it - sort of an online scrap book type program that would also run reports maybe - that might tell me how long it took to complete a project (and if I went way in depth inputing information, it might tell me how many hours it took to make something...
If anyone knows how to write programs, this would be a super cool thing to make and share - I don't think it exists... if you know of one, share please :) thanks for looking
Well, that sounds like a perfect candidate for a MS Access project. Let me see what I can come up with. With Access you can run reports, have easy, smooth data entry and even have a place for notes and comments. Pretty simple to fiddle with, also.
I'll play with it this weekend, Kyle and let you know.

I don't. My "journal" is out being worn by friends, relatives and those lucky winners of the auctions I've given items to. *grin*
But there are about 800 gazillion database programs that could easily be setup to do this for you - and give you reports on projects by colour, yarn weight, length of time start to finish, etc.
MMario - I don't live in the 21st Century - but I sometimes play a character who does.
