Two Michigan mystery writers nailed Edgar Awards at the recent award ceremony held in New York City. Steve Hamilton and Doug Allyn both previous Edgar Award winners were named recipients this year.
Hamilton's "Lock Artist" was named the best mystery novel and Allyn's story, "The Scent of Lilacs" which appeared in the Ellery Queen Mystery Magazine was selected as "best short story". Hamilton won previously for "best first mystery", "A Cold Day in Paradise". He has written seven novels featuring the Yooper Detective Alex McNight which are set in the Sault area. The southeast Michigan native is a huge fan of the Red Wings, Tigers and Wolverines.
"The Lock Artist" is about an 18 year old young man from Milford MI who can pick locks like no one else, but when organized crime is put in the mix the question is whether he will survive.
Doug Allyn who was born in Bay City and lived in the Flint area for awhile is the author of a combination of eight novels and collections of short stories. Allyn also is a previous winner of an Edgar. Read the entire list of nominees and winners here. Both Allyn and Hamilton shared the stage at last year's Kerrytown BookFest in Ann Arbor Michigan.

Though beauty may be only skin deep, it's a reflection of inner health toward which everyone should strive. A substantial component of health and beauty is maintaining a diet that is varied enough to provide all the essential elements to produce rich hair and lovely skin.
When lifestyles have become increasingly rushed, people look to nutritional supplements to ensure they look and feel their best. As we age, our bodies change and we need different supplements to maintain a youthful appearance. Research and technology are finding new ways to help us toward that goal.
Vitamins are a good start
Certain vitamins are known for being particularly good for your hair and skin, because they fuel cell regeneration. Vitamins A, C, and E are strong antioxidants that help the skin heal itself, and prevent discoloration and wrinkles caused by sun damage.
To boost skin cell growth, take additional vitamin C and E. WebMD lists specific dosages of the desired vitamins and minerals that are higher than those found in typical multivitamin supplements.
Go deeper for collagen support
Collagen production plays a key role in giving a plump, youthful look to your skin. Collagen is a complex of proteins that connect the cells in skin and give it elasticity. Collagen loss is the cause of wrinkles.
Omega-3s are fatty acids that, like vitamins, are essential for human life, but the body can't make them. Research has shown that increasing the amount of omega-3s in your diet will not only help your skin, but also your heart, your joints, and your mental clarity.
The University of Maryland Medical Center provides an excellent overview of the benefits of omega-3 fatty acids.
Many companies now formulate supplements to target collagen production. In addition to the vitamins above, look for formulas with omega-3 fatty acids and coenzyme Q10.
Catalase to maintain hair color
Recent research has found that hair turns grey, then white, as we age because we make less of the enzyme catalase. Catalase breaks down the hydrogen peroxide in our hair follicles. Without it, the hydrogen peroxide bleaches our hair.
Another enzyme, tyrosinase, leads to the production of melanin that supplies the pigment in hair. L-tyrosine is the amino acid necessary for the body to make tyrosinase. To support your natural hair color, you can add a supplement that contains catalase and L-tyrosine to your diet.
Some formulations such Get Away Grey package catalase with other nutrients to prevent and reverse grey hair.
Good digestive health shows in your skin
A regimen that keeps your colon clean will also help keep your skin clear and radiant. The idea is to prevent toxins from building up in your large intestine. Adding fiber to your diet is a gentle way to get your digestion moving along.
Institute of Medicine guidelines state that men and women over 50 should eat 30 and 21 grams of fiber per day, respectively. If you get at least the recommended amount, your body can absorb the other nutrients needed for health and beauty from the inside out.

21 On Valentine's Day- Lower Manhattan
I'm going to Manhattan for my 21st birthday- which is Valentine's day! I need a recommendation for a classy pre-theatre dinner in Lower Manhattan for 2. I'm coming up from Baltimore, but I'm pretty familiar with the city.
I was hoping for the Gotham Bar & Grille, but they have a ridiculous prix-fixe menu. I'm looking to spend around $30-60 a plate, plus alcohol. I'm not going to be getting trashed- I'm headed to the Will Ferrell show after dinner. Any ideas greatly appreciated!
It's tough to find a nice restaurant on Valentine's Day that isn't prix-fixe. You can try Babbo, which usually doesn't do a holiday prix fixe..sometimes they can accomodate a table at the last minute.
Check out Annisa, highest rated female chef in the city. Her restaurant is in the West Village, inventive as it is practical cuisine. Highly recommended.

I hope you're having a wonderful Summer thus far, minus the heat of course. Once again, my blog has been neglected recently. I've been keeping somewhat busy with things, now that the Spring severe weather season has come and gone. Here's a list of events in my life since then, in no particular order:
* My parents moved back into their repaired home after the late February tornado. Hopefully the new garage will be built in the next few weeks. While my folks got back home, other family members of mine weren't so fortunate. My wife's aunt and uncle lost their home in the Waldo Canyon fire near Colorado Springs. (This guy is tired of natural disasters affecting family members!)
* 12 days of 100 degree heat in Wichita. So far.
* Our family garden is going nuts with cucumbers (with cherry tomatoes starting to ripen!). Thankfully that hail back in May didn't beat up the garden too bad. I'd take that rain again though.
It's less than 2 months until the Kansas State Fair. Let's hope I update the blog a few times before then.

|- Fair Labor Standards Act Advisor
What is the minimum wage?
The federal minimum wage provisions for covered, nonexempt employees are contained in the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA). The Fair Minimum Wage Act of 2007 included phased increases to the federal minimum wage.
Many states also have minimum wage laws. Where an employee is subject to both the state and federal minimum wage laws, the employee is entitled to the higher of the two minimum wages.
Various minimum wage exceptions apply under specific circumstances to workers with disabilities, full-time students, youth under age 20 in their first 90 consecutive calendar days of employment, tipped employees and student-learners.

SAN ANTONIO - Three people are in trouble with the law after they went shopping at a Northwest side Walmart and didn't want to pay.
They're also accused of assaulting loss prevention officers.
Around 10:45 p.m. on Wednesday, police were called to a shoplifting incident at the Walmart on Vance Jackson near Interstate 10.
Loss prevention officers said a woman had put Big Red, socks and underwear in her purse.
When they saw what she was doing, the two men who were with her attacked two loss prevention officers. One punched one of those officers in the face.
The woman and the two men ran out of the store and jumped in the back of a white Ford F-150. The truck was later found on Gardenia.
All three will be charged with aggravated attempted robbery.

Many years ago (perhaps 30) I was shopping in the now-defunct Karrol's Menswear (tall sizes) at Golf Mill Shopping Center. I had purchased a shirt for my husband and asked the salesman for a Christmas box. The date was Nov. 18 -- I remember it well.
He looked at me kind of strange and said, "Lady, we don't have Christmas boxes yet."

In those days there was a clear distinction between the holidays and it was still before Thanksgiving.
Sure, we would sometimes do a little shopping early as I was, but the stores didn't beat you over the head with Christmas carols over the speaker and holiday decorations in October! Oh, for the good old days.

As the fan site Victory Rose Musicpoints out (viaTwentyFourBit), the new record from Sigur Rós will be out May 28, according to a new interview withQ magazine. The record, titled Valtari, is the followup to 2008's Með suð í eyrum við spilum endalaust.As Q notes, the album's title translates to "steamroller." Frontman Jónsi tells the magazine that "the music kind of just rolls over you" but "in a good way." The album is centered more on electronics, and makes use of strings and a girls' choir. No lyrics are sung in English.

The band debuted this song at the recent Iceland Airwaves festival. I think it's one of the best things I've heard from them in quite some time. Reminds me of the rawer, more experimental aspects of Von, which is not a bad thing.

Being a Christian, I've made my decision. That decision offers no compromise; therefore, I'm closed to anything else.
What I'm wondering about is that bit about him being "excommunicated" from his own church. What's the deal with that? At any rate, that's quite the bitter irony there...

I only had one encounter with Fred Phelps and the Westboro Baptist Church. It was, of course, at a funeral. The funeral, of course, was for a man in whom the Reverend Phelps discerned either a sympathy for—or simply an insufficient hatred of—homosexuals. And he, of course, managed to turn it into a scene, a mockery of the purpose for which it was intended. ...

Daily Kos, the "progressive" website operated by the millionaire Markos Moulitsas Zuniga who stands accused of working for the CIA, is calling for "1,000,000 Voices" in support of Obamacare on February 24.
"And here comes the Cavalry to seal the healthcare deal," states a post put up on the website last Friday. "Over the last week or so, we've mobilized an unprecedented coalition of the largest progressive organizations in the nation, including MoveOn, HCAN, DFA, Progressive Congress and SEIU – with others expected to join imminently."
"On February 24th, the day before the Presidential Healthcare Summit, we will deliver to Washington DC, a scream they will never, ever forget."
This scream will be organized by the globalists and their fellow travelers. MoveOn is a wholly owned subsidiary of George Soros. Health Care for America Now is also in bed with Soros and funded with money from Joseph Pew's Sun Oil Company. Democracy for America was created by Democrat operative Howard Dean. SEIU (Service Employees International Union) is well-known for its brownshirt activities against Tea Party activists.
"Failure," according to Daily Kos, "is not an option."

Eye surgeon and senatorial candidate Rand Paul warns that under ObamaCare, Americans could be forced to wait a year and a half merely to see a doctor due to Canadian-style rationing of health care being imposed.
As an eye surgeon with his own private practice, Paul warned that senior citizens could be forced to endure debilitating conditions as a result of health care rationing under the system being readied for passage, and be forced to wait as long as 18 months just to see a doctor as happens in Canada and Britain.
"There are 1 million people waiting for any kind of elective surgery in Canada at any one time," he told Newsmax.TV's Ashley Martella.
"Canada's so bad that they have a lottery, there are some little towns that have one family doctor, they do a lottery and you can sometimes wait a year and a half to see the doctor," said Paul. "I have friends who are eye surgeons in Canada, they've finished their surgery by September, they're allotment, they're given a number of surgeries they can do, when they're finished in September some of them come to the U.S. and do elective cosmetic eye surgery in the U.S. because they're not allowed to operate any more in Canada."
In his article, There's No Such Thing as Free Health Care, Journalist John Stossel highlights how even people with life-threatening conditions are told to wait. A woman with a blocked artery that prevented her from digesting food was told by doctors in British Columbia that she had only weeks to live, but that the surgery was still "elective."
"The only thing elective about this surgery was I elected to live," said the woman, who traveled to the United States to receive treatment.
It's true that America's partly profit-driven, partly bureaucratic system is expensive, and sometimes wasteful, but the pursuit of profit reduces waste and costs and gives the world the improvements in medicine that ease pain and save lives.
"[America] is the country of medical innovation. This is where people come when they need treatment," Dr. Gratzer says.
"Literally we're surrounded by medical miracles. Death by cardiovascular disease has dropped by two-thirds in the last 50 years. You've got to pay a price for that type of advancement."
Canada and England don't pay the price because they freeload off American innovation. If America adopted their systems, we could worry less about paying for health care, but we'd get 2009-level care—forever. Government monopolies don't innovate. Profit seekers do.
On this note, Paul stressed that problems in health care were created by too much government interference, and that the only way to fix the system was to increase competition, not restrict it.
The Republican candidate for Senate highlighted FEMA's botched efforts to distribute water bottles at the superdome after Hurricane Katrina as an example of the failings of government-run health care.
"They can't even distribute water, there's no way they can distribute health care," said Paul.
The Senatorial candidate also said that with 46 million new people on government assistance, the new system could bankrupt medicare and lead to rationing for everyone. Doctors who have already tolerated shrinking wages for the last fifteen years would also leave the U.S. warned Paul, creating a vacuum.
"It's intellectually dishonest for Democrats to say it's going to cost $874 billion, but it's really not going to add anything to the deficit. I don't think the American public believes that," added Paul.
Paul pointed out that the longer the debate raged about health care, the more people opposed the government's proposals, emphasizing why the Obama administration is hell-bent on ramming through the legislation later this week on Christmas Eve.

Michael Connelly
September 21, 2009
Well, I have done it! I have read the entire text of proposed House Bill 3200: The Affordable Health Care Choices Act of 2009. I studied it with particular emphasis from my area of expertise, constitutional law. I was frankly concerned that parts of the proposed law that were being discussed might be unconstitutional. What I found was far worse than what I had heard or expected.
To begin with, much of what has been said about the law and its implications is in fact true, despite what the Democrats and the media are saying. The law does provide for rationing of health care, particularly where senior citizens and other classes of citizens are involved, free health care for illegal immigrants, free abortion services, and probably forced participation in abortions by members of the medical profession.
The Bill will also eventually force private insurance companies out of business and put everyone into a government run system. All decisions about personal health care will ultimately be made by federal bureaucrats and most of them will not be health care professionals. Hospital admissions, payments to physicians, and allocations of necessary medical devices will be strictly controlled.
However, as scary as all of that it, it just scratches the surface. In fact, I have concluded that this legislation really has no intention of providing affordable health care choices. Instead it is a convenient cover for the most massive transfer of power to the Executive Branch of government that has ever occurred, or even been contemplated. If this law or a similar one is adopted, major portions of the Constitution of the United States will effectively have been destroyed.
The first thing to go will be the masterfully crafted balance of power between the Executive, Legislative, and Judicial branches of the U.S. Government. The Congress will be transferring to the Obama Administration authority in a number of different areas over the lives of the American people and the businesses they own. The irony is that the Congress doesn't have any authority to legislate in most of those areas to begin with. I defy anyone to read the text of the U.S. Constitution and find any authority granted to the members of Congress to regulate health care.
This legislation also provides for access by the appointees of the Obama administration of all of your personal healthcare information, your personal financial information, and the information of your employer, physician, and hospital. All of this is a direct violation of the specific provisions of the 4th Amendment to the Constitution protecting against unreasonable searches and seizures. You can also forget about the right to privacy. That will have been legislated into oblivion regardless of what the 3rd and 4th Amendments may provide.
If you decide not to have healthcare insurance or if you have private insurance that is not deemed "acceptable" to the "Health Choices Administrator" appointed by Obama there will be a tax imposed on you. It is called a "tax" instead of a fine because of the intent to avoid application of the due process clause of the 5th Amendment. However, that doesn't work because since there is nothing in the law that allows you to contest or appeal the imposition of the tax, it is definitely depriving someone of property without the "due process of law.
So, there are three of those pesky amendments that the far left hate so much out the original ten in the Bill of Rights that are effectively nullified by this law. It doesn't stop there though. The 9th Amendment that provides: "The enumeration in the Constitution, of certain rights, shall not be construed to deny or disparage others retained by the people;" The 10th Amendment states: "The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are preserved to the States respectively, or to the people." Under the provisions of this piece of Congressional handiwork neither the people nor the states are going to have any rights or powers at all in many areas that once were theirs to control.
I could write many more pages about this legislation, but I think you get the idea. This is not about health care; it is about seizing power and limiting rights. Article 6 of the Constitution requires the members of both houses of Congress to "be bound by oath or affirmation" to support the Constitution. If I was a member of Congress I would not be able to vote for this legislation or anything like it without feeling I was violating that sacred oath or affirmation. If I voted for it anyway I would hope the American people would hold me accountable.
For those who might doubt the nature of this threat I suggest they consult the source. Here is a link to the Constitution.
And another to the Bill of Rights.
There you can see exactly what we are about to have taken from us.

Editor's note: No doubt the following incident will be grist for Chris Matthews' mill later this evening. Chris will ask if the man was a racist and his guests will chime in that he is indeed a racist, even though the man's remonstration was about government mandated health care (Obamacare at gunpoint) and abortion.
At a health care rally at a Maryland university, a protester began shouting, prompting boos and President Obama to pause. The man apparently yelled "Obama you're a liar. Obama, your health care kills children. Abortion is murder."
The man was promptly removed by police, much to the joy of rabidly cheering Obamanoids, who feverishly demanded the man be carted off for having the temerity to challenge Der Fuhrer.
Watch as the guy is being led up the stairs, an Obamanoid stood on the left spits on him but the cop sees it and carts him off too.

Getting internet (probably wifi) on my Mac Pro
I have an older (2009) Mac Pro and I am having problems getting it online. There is wifi in my house and what I have been doing is using the 'Internet Sharing' option on my Macbook laptop to share the wifi connection with my Mac Pro via an ethernet cable between my laptop and desktop. However, my laptop recently had a bit of a freakout and I had to restart it and when it came back on, I had to reconnect it to the wifi, but when i did that, the internet sharing mysteriously stopped working between my laptop and desktop. I was just wondering if there was a way to use my extra router to pick up the wifi signal being broadcast by the house's router and connect an ethernet cable from my desktop to the router so I can stop relying on my laptop to get internet.
How come you don't just connect each computer individually to your WiFi network?
Does your Mac Pro not have built-in WiFi? If your Mac Pro doesn't have built-in WiFi...maybe installing it would be a good thing.:)
- Nick
You shoo;d be able to do that. We can be more specific with directions if we know the model. You'll probably need to set it to join an existing network and enter the name, configuration details, and password for your network.
One thing to be aware of though. Some routers, some Time Capsules for example, will not work in this mode. When they join an existing network wirelessly the ethernet ports shut down.
- Nick
I'm not sure how easily you'll find an Airport adapter kit for that model, but you can use the PCI slots to install a modern third-party Wi-Fi card easily enough -- make sure before you buy that it is Mac/OS X compatible.
- Nick
Ok, so I'm going to let on to my lacking computer savviness here and ask what's the difference between an original wifi card for a macpro and a PCI wifi card? Pros/Cons? Rough cost?
Just to be clear, I do have a second router in my home and I am still wondering if it has the capability to pick up the wifi coming from the first router. Then I could just connect my desktop to the 2nd router with ethernet and be good to go, right? Do most routers have this capability and is it easy to setup? What info regarding my computer and router would you need to help me figure it out?
it would be nice if I could use my 2nd router and avoid buying more stuff :)
Mac Pro AirPort Card
I'll let chas_m provide info on the PCI WiFi card. I've never messed with them.
- Nick
If you can find an install video for a 2009 Mac Pro on You Tube...then you're good to go.:)
- Nick
You never gave us the Brand and Model of the other router. Some will work as a Wireless Bridge and some will not.
Can we have the brand and model of the router?

Food was decent but a bit overpriced. The place was dead at the time I got there (6:30) but around 8 it was filled with older people. If you are interested in a younger crowd, I don't suggest this place but over all not bad. And their apple strudel was authentic and delicious!
Posted by Andres von Wachter on 05/17/2008
We went with the illusion of getting some german food.....well, it certainly was a disappointment. The service was slow, and the food mediocre at best. The only good part was the draft beer, which was good. The schnitzels were ok, the Jaegerschnitzel mediocre, and the pork shank undercooked (rare) so that we sent it back and refused it. All in all, it must have been an off night for them, as we left in a very disappointed way.

Editor's Comment: Deadly bug - be aware!
Posted: November 15, 2012|
ALL of our hearts must go out today to the parents and loved ones of the baby whose life has been so tragically cut short due to the deadly meningitis bug.
Their suffering must be unbearable – no parent can possibly imagine what it must be like to lose a child.
But we must also take this opportunity to thank the parents of this child for making their very, very sad story public in the hope that it will make others aware – thereby possibly preventing another such death.
It would appear this virus can strike randomly and often with little warning – with dreadful consequences.
Without wanting every parent to become totally paranoid about the warning signs and symptoms, it is vital that they do have an understanding of what to look out for and do not delay in seeking medical advice or help if they are worried.
Are you parents, do you receive enough advice and information about childhood illness? Let us know by commenting below:

Address: 1000 Palisades Center Drive, West Nyack, NY, 10994
- Hours:
- 10:00 - 21:30 ( Mon - Sat ) 11:00 - 19:00 ( Sun )
The Palisades Center, often referred to as the Palisades Mall, in West Nyack, New York is one of the largest malls in the United States. Depending on how it is measured, it is considered to both the second largest shopping mall in U.S. and the largest mall in the New York metropolitan area. With 3,500,000 square feet, the Palisades is second only to the Mall of America in total area. When measured by its 2,000,000 square feet of gross leasable area (GLA), the Palisades drops to 15th in size in the U.S. and the second in the New York metropolitan area after Roosevelt Field Mall in Garden City, New York.
The mall is operated by mall general manager Peter Janoff for the Pyramid Companies, the original developer and current owner.
The mall is located west of NY Route 303, south of exit 12 of the New York State Thruway (I-87 and I-287), and north of NY Route 59. It is named after the nearby Palisades, which border the Hudson River and the eastern part of Rockland County.History
The Palisades Center mall was constructed on the former site of Dexter Press (a famous and long-time printer of postcards), a bowling alley, a car dealership, Hogan's Diner (an institution with the slogan, "Where the Elite Meet to Eat") and landfill, adjacent to a swampy area of Route 59 frequently prone to flooding from the nearby Hackensack River.
When the mall was first planned in the 1980's, the developers hoped to lure upscale anchors. However, somewhere between town board approval and grand opening, these plans changed. Public areas that were to be "finished" gave way to the mall's current decor of exposed steel beams, concrete floors, and bright splashes of color and neon.
Many speculate that the Palisades Center was constructed too hastily, for it has many apparent quirks such as numerous cracks in the floor; and violent shaking. Along with the rides and ice rink on the fourth floor, the original plan for the mall was much larger and included a roller coaster. Allusions to a roller coaster are made by the track-like lighting fixtures above the food court (which, contrary to rumor, are not actual abandoned track). The original intention was for the mall to be an East Coast version of the Mall of America, a destination going beyond shopping that would be visited by tourists from outside the area.
The original plan for the mall was reduced somewhat due to opposition from people in the Town of Clarkstown. Some believed that traffic would clog the nearby small roads, and to satisfy them the mall plan was scaled down and certain turns to and from mall roads were made illegal. The purpose of these signs is to keep traffic off local streets and direct it on to highways, such as Routes 303 and 59 and the New York State Thruway. Local residents routinely ignore these signs due to inconvenience.
A 2002 referendum to expand the mall was voted down. The "expansion" would have finished unused space on the 3rd and 4th floors above Lord and Taylor at the east end of the mall. At the time of the vote, there was an "empty space walking tour" that one could take. Currently, the 4th floor east end is empty except for the ice rink, four community rooms used by groups within Rockland County, an out-of-the-way restroom, elevators and escalators serving the rink and the community rooms, several benches, and two vending machines.
When this mall was under construction, Pyramid, the builder was very slow to pay vendors. Only vendors that could put a lien against them were paid very late for their labor. Numerous vendors that delivered goods that were unsecured were not paid in full even after very long delays. Stores had to pay for their own alarm and sprinkler systems that were then turned over to the mall owners.Anchors

Data entry arrangements that include twenty-six letters of the Roman alphabet arranged in matrices including six rows of three to six letters per row and in five column matrices. The transposition of the letters of the Roman alphabet on a standard three-row QWERTY keyboard into six row matrices and five column matrices utilizes spacing between the letters wherein a vertical distance between adjacent letters is at least the same.
1. A data entry interface arrangement including all twenty-six letters of a top, middle, and bottom row of a standard three-row QWERTY keyboard, comprising:

This application is a continuation-in-part application of U.S. patent application Ser. No. 10/521,101, filed on 1/11/2005 and now issued into U.S. Pat. No. 7,216,588 which was a 371 national stage application of PCT Application No. PCT/US03/14239, filed on May 6, 2003, which claims the priority benefit of U.S. Provisional Application No. 60/395,440, filed on 7/12/2002.
1. Field of the Invention
The invention relates in general to the field of data entry interfaces, such as keyboards and the like, and more particularly to a modified QWERTY letter layout that is especially useful for the rapid entry of data into hand-held electronic devices (such as a cellular phone or personal digital assistant).
2. Description of the Related Art
The first typewriter worked with three or four rows of finger-tip size buttons called "keys." Each key could be depressed by the outstretched fingers of the hands of the typist as the entire layout of keys was designed to be approximately the width of two hands. From this simple beginning, the typewriter has given rise to a plethora of data entry interfaces based on the underlying concept of the tactile input of text-based information. Indeed, everyone who has used a typewriter or computer in the last ten years is familiar with data entry interfaces known simply as "keyboards", "keypads," or even "touch screens."
Keyboards and keypads are still the preferred means for entering information into devices such as hand-held electronic devices, computers, and cell phones. Normally, keyboards include the ability to enter numbers, alphabetic characters, punctuation, and control characters. At least for the English language (and others utilizing the 26 characters of the Roman alphabet), the ubiquitous "QWERTY" keyboard arrangement has become the de-facto standard layout of letter characters, numbers, and punctuation. An illustration of the standard QWERTY keyboard layout is shown in
The QWERTY keyboard has three rows of letter keys and one row of number keys with approximately 12 keys per row. The top row of a QWERTY keyboard usually contains the numbers, along with various symbols and punctuation marks. The bottom three rows contain all of the letter characters and some additional punctuation marks. The 4 rows of keys with 12 keys per row cause the keyboard to be substantially wider than it is tall. Thus, the main problem with this keyboard design is that it is relatively large, making it unsuitable for hand-held portable devices and other applications where size and the dimensions of the data entry interface are constraints.
In other words, the traditional QWERTY layout does not work well in applications where it would be desirable to have a keyboard that is taller than it is wide, such as a cell phone keypad. In fact, previous QWERTY-type keyboards are either so large that they are difficult to manually operate with one hand (and add too much bulk to a small electronic item) or so small that the size of the keys are reduced to the point where the use of a "stylus" (a thin, often plastic "stick" used for pressing the buttons) becomes necessary to avoid mashing several keys at once with one's fingers.
While several inventions have attempted to modify the QWERTY layout of keys to suit a particular purpose, none are known to overcome all of the aforementioned problems. For example, U.S. Pat. No. 6,445,380 issued to Klien discloses a variation on a standard QWERTY layout, but retains the typical 3 row arrangement of letters. Similarly, U.S. Pat. No. 5,626,429 issued to Choate suggests the possibility of increasing the number of QWERTY keyboard rows to 4 or more, but with the requirement that there be at least nine "columns" or keys in a row. Other inventors, such as Ichbiah in U.S. Pat. No. 5,487,616, abandon the QWERTY layout altogether in favor of a keyboard arrangement based on the frequency of use for each character.
Recent experience has shown that when designers have attempted to design small keyboards that are taller than they are wide, they have typically abandoned the QWERTY layout and used character arrangements based upon alphabetic ordering. Examples of alphabetically ordered keyboards of the prior art are shown in
Similar alphabetically ordered layouts have been designed for cell phone keypads (see
Another keyboard design, known by the trademark FASTAP, is arranged much like as in
In view of the above, it would be desirable to have a data entry interface that could be taller than wide, would fit within the dimensions of existing hand-held electronic devices, and allow for faster data entry than previous designs.
The invention relates in general to a data entry interface (e.g., a keyboard or keypad) featuring a novel six-rowed QWERTY-type layout of letters. More specifically, the invention provides in one embodiment a keyboard that is created by selecting a letter (preferably every other letter) of a traditional QWERTY keyboard and forming a new row of letters below the row from which the letters were selected. This selection process is then repeated for the remaining rows such that the traditional three-rowed QWERTY keyboard is transformed into a six-rowed keyboard of the invention. By placing each selected letter below the row from which it was selected, all letters are kept substantially in the same vicinity as they were in the original QWERTY layout. Accordingly, the six-rowed layout of the invention expedites the typing of text and other information on small keyboards, especially by users who are familiar with the standard QWERTY keyboard arrangement.
Preferably, the invention utilizes existing keyboard structures or keypad button configurations as are found on cellular telephones, personal digital assistants, and the like. However, other data entry structures, such as four-letter buttons, a "touch pad," or electronic display screen, are also contemplated by the inventor.
Thus, it is a primary objective of the invention to provide a data entry interface that utilizes a six-row QWERTY character layout rather than the traditional three-row layout.
Further, an object of the invention is to provide a modified QWERTY layout that facilitates the rapid entry of data on hand-held electronic devices.
Another object of the invention is to provide a keyboard or keypad layout that utilizes a five column layout of letters.
Another object of the invention is to provide a keyboard or keypad that is taller than it is wide such that it can be held and typed on using one hand.
In accordance with these and other objects, there is provided a new and improved arrangement of letters for data entry interfaces that is especially useful for data entry on small or narrow electronic devices.
Various other purposes and advantages of the invention will become clear from its description in the specification that follows. Therefore, to the accomplishment of the objectives described above, this invention includes the features hereinafter fully described in the detailed description of the preferred embodiments, and particularly pointed out in the claims. However, such description discloses only some of the various ways in which the invention may be practiced.
The invention involves a data entry interface layout that positions the twenty-six letters of the Roman alphabet in a matrix preferably including six rows of three to six letters per row. Thus, the invention relates to a keyboard, keypad, or other form of data-input interface that substantially departs from the dimensions and layout of a standard QWERTY and alphabetically ordered keyboards.
The invention also relates to a method for designing a data entry interface layout by transposing the letters of the Roman alphabet as found on a standard three-row QWERTY keyboard into six rows such that a letter within a first, second, or third row of the standard QWERTY keyboard is selected and placed in an additional row substantially below an unselected letter of said first, second, or third row.
For example, a new keyboard is created by transforming the 3 rows of letters on a standard QWERTY keyboard (
By placing each selected character substantially below its original location, the characters are kept in the same vicinity of where they were located in the standard QWERTY keyboard. Thus, the overall effect is that typing speed on hand-held devices increases because the general letter location is more familiar to users of the standard QWERTY layout. Moreover, due to the compactness of this design, many industries that are looking to augment use of text entry (e.g., text messaging on cellular phones) would embrace this "taller-than-wide" format because it both facilitates faster typing and fits well on small electronic devices.
As indicated in
Moreover, it should be noted in
Furthermore, the data entry interface arrangement of
As used throughout this application, the terms "small electronic device" or "hand-held device" are meant to broadly describe portable electronic devices that feature keyboards or keypads for data entry. Such devices may include, but are not limited to, hand-held computers, mobile telephones, remote control devices (e.g., for televisions or web-surfing interfaces), electronic address books or other databases (e.g., dictionaries or foreign word translators), personal digital assistants (PDA's), and pagers. Moreover, while the invention is particularly well suited for use with small electronic devices, it should be understood that it can be used with any device having a keyboard or keypad (e.g., a photocopier). Furthermore, the inventor contemplates use of the invention with electronic display screens, such as "touch pads" and the like. In this format, the novel modified QWERTY layout would be manifested electronically on a LCD or similar type of screen or viewer for the user to select characters by touch.
General Design and Advantages
An important purpose of the invention is to allow people to type faster on their cell phones and other small devices having space and dimensional constraints. Thus, the main components of the invention include 1) a modified QWERTY data-entry interface layout and 2) a method of designing a modified-QWERTY arrangement for small keyboards and the like.
Although the two keyboards in
Turning to
Preferably, every other letter (alternating letters) is repositioned according to the method of the invention. Of course, different "alternating" letters may be selected for repositioning in a new row. For example, the "following letter" on each row of the standard QWERTY layout may be selected and moved to a new row substantially below the unselected letters. Thus, the embodiment illustrated in
Visual Acquisition
An important advantage of this invention is that it expedites physically locating and pressing the desired letter because each letter is physically near where the finger or thumb would normally head toward on a standard QWERTY layout and because motor memory tends to propel the finger or thumb to the relative location. For example, in the embodiment illustrated in
Thus, this method of design results in a keyboard that is now not only taller than it is wide, but also facilitates rapid typing by its layout of characters. The concept of selecting letters in a given row of the standard QWERTY arrangement and repositioning them substantially below the remaining (unselected) letters is extended as much as possible to the placement of punctuation and control characters as seen in
General Operation
Using a traditional one-button-per-character implementation of the invention (e.g.,
The invention is also well suited for use in a variety of specialty applications. For example, when entering "vanity" numbers on a cell phone, the user may simply enter the letters on the keyboard. Presently available cell phone software could then map the letter to the corresponding telephone number. For example, if the user (while in dialing mode) enters1800PATENTS, the letter "P" is automatically converted to a "7," the letter "A" is converted to a "2" and so on.
Of course, many variations embodying the "row-splitting design" of the invention can be envisioned, such as those illustrated in
As would be readily apparent to one skilled in the art, minor variations in character location or presentation (e.g., lower case and/or uppercase, color, etc.) can be utilized without effecting the objects or advantages of the invention. For example, the location of letters may be physically "staggered" as follows:
The graphs illustrated in
The sentence was typed six times on each of the four keypad types (hence, the six columns of data under each graph). The times (in seconds) were then converted to words per minute (wpm) and graphed. The test subjects self-identified as "average typists," with two of the subjects having little or no experience entering text on a cell phone using any of the tested layouts and one subject (S. Bogdan) who had experience only with the standard cell phone layout featuring multi-tap.
As indicated by the graphs, each subject repeatedly entered text faster on the DELTA II keypad than on any other. These results are typical and consistent with those of other users who have been tested. The graphs also reveal an interesting trend in that users not only start out typing faster on the DELTA II keypad, but their typing speed also improves within just a few sentences of practice.
Various changes in the details and components that have been described may be made by those skilled in the art within the principles and scope of the invention herein described in the specification and defined in the appended claims. Therefore, while the present invention has been shown and described herein in what is believed to be the most practical and preferred embodiments, it is recognized that departures can be made therefrom within the scope of the invention, which is not to be limited to the details disclosed herein but is to be accorded the full scope of the claims so as to embrace any and all equivalent processes and products.

Creating a high-key glamour look (archive repost)
A bright, white and cheerful look is typical of high key glamour – and indeed high key photography in general.
Lighting Diagram
The two softboxes left and right at front push in plenty of soft and diffused light with low shadows. The background is lit seperately with two additional lights, the lighting on the back is about the same level as the front.
You will often see that the back should be lit to 2 stops or more brighter than the subject – and yes, that works – mostly. However, you can easily create blow-back and flare – losing the definition around the edge of your subject.
I think you'll find if your background is white (and not slightly off-white or mucky) then it will appear white using my method.
All that said, what you actually see in these images is that I have actually put some grey tone back into the image in post processing, just to give some sense of the background actually existing, rather than a cut-out model.
Shooting down gives a new angle, but also can be very flattering for legs.
And don't forget to come in close (and much closer than this crop too – sex is in the eyes don't forget).

East coast KCAA Morning Show Reports School Shooting in Newtown CT
Says NBC news is reporting that the Unnamed Shooter was 20 year old father of one of the children who attended the sandy hook School.
Also KCAA reports up to 20 children shot dead by the unnamed 20 year old father, and that this 20 year old unnamed father of a child who attended the sandy hook elementary school lives in New Jersey.
KCAA later reports that officials in CT have told NBC news that the authorities shot dead the 20 year old unnamed shooter dead (who was a father of a child at the sandy hook elementary school )
All KCAA's reports are contrary to the general media story on the sandy hook shootings, which named an alleged shooter as a single childless man , and the general media reports state that the alleged single childless shooter committed suicide, and that the alleged shooter lived in Sandy Hook.
The KCAA report however does confirm the actual final investigation report by the CT authorities which does include a police statement that describes the alleged shooter as having been shot to death by police officers on the scene.

John Hiatt to release 21st album this month
CORPUS CHRISTI - John Hiatt will release his 21st album, "Mystic Pinball," on Sept. 25. Over the years, he has gained a reputation as one of rock's best songwriters. But as far as Hiatt is concerned, he's still learning how to write songs.
Hiatt said the major aspect he continues to work to improve is being able to trim the fat on his songs.
"So it's that kind of thinking, getting my attitudes in line, ego mania, various eccentricities and trying to tuck those back and get to something else," he said.
Hiatt is getting plenty of practice these days. "Mystic Pinball" is his fourth CD in four years, and in April he plans to return to the studio to work on yet another new album. Hiatt said as he gets older, he's finding himself to be increasingly driven to write songs.
"That's a big motivator right there," he said. "It just seems the older I get, the more I need to do it in a way. It's sort of my life's blood."
