The present invention relates generally to point of sale terminals, and, more specifically, to supervisory control thereof.
In a typical point of sale (POS) terminal, commonly known as a checkout terminal, one or more products may be presented by a customer for purchase. In the typical supermarket application, several products having barcodes thereon are read in turn by a barcode scanner, identified by the barcode thereon, and added to a list or tally for adding the prices thereof to complete the transaction.
The checkout terminal is computer controlled in most part and requires little effort by the customer or store operator in completing the purchase transaction. The individual items are simply swiped past the window of the barcode scanner and automatically read and added to the purchase list.
However, automatic operation of the terminal may be interrupted when a specific barcode is not recognized by the barcode scanner, or when a selling price is different than the regular price of the item stored in memory. For example, a specific item may be on sale and the lower sale price may not be properly entered into the lookup price database. Or, the specific item requires the manual entry of a corresponding price therefor for specifically identified products.
Furthermore, various errors may occur during operation of the terminal such as paper jams in the receipt printer, or depletion of the printing paper requiring the replacement with a new roll thereof.
A typical checkout terminal is manned by a store employee or operator who scans the products across the barcode scanner, packages the products being purchased, accepts payment for the transaction, and returns to the customer a tabulated receipt therefor.
In recent developments, self-service checkout terminals are being developed and introduced in service where the entire purchase transaction may be handled in most or all part by the customer or user themselves. The self-checkout terminal has security features contained therein which may be intentionally or inadvertently activated during customer use. Accordingly, intervention by a store operator or supervisor may be required to complete the purchase transaction for the customer.
Since the purchase of alcohol or tobacco, for example, is typically limited to adults by local laws or regulations, the purchase thereof at a self-checkout terminal will automatically alert a supervisor for assistance for ensuring the proper age of the customer.
In both types of checkout terminals described above, supervisory intervention may be required as indicated above for completing the purchase transaction. Supervisory control typically requires the supervisor to enter a supervisory or store mode of operation as distinguishable from the normal transaction mode of operation of the terminal for resolving the different types of terminal interruption. In a common form, the terminal is provided with an electrical key switch requiring the use of a common mechanical key for accessing the store mode of operation limited to certain store employees such as designated supervisors.
In another common form of supervision, each authorized supervisor has an associated supervisor identification (ID) number and a specific password suitably stored in the memory of the terminal or system memory authorizing access to the store mode when the proper ID and password are entered manually at the specific terminal.
Yet further, specifically configured electronic keys or scancards having magnetic stripes, for example, may be configured for accessing the store mode by authorized personnel.
However, these various modes of accessing the supervisory store mode of operation vary in complexity, cost, security, and ease of use.
Accordingly, it is desired to provide a checkout terminal with improved access to supervisory mode of operation.
A checkout terminal includes a barcode scanner, input interface, and receipt printer operatively joined to a processor for controlling operation thereof. The processor is programmed for operating the terminal in a transaction mode using the barcode scanner to read a product barcode to conduct a purchase transaction of a product. The processor is also programmed for operating in a store mode using the barcode scanner to read an supervisor barcode on a scancard presented by a supervisor for manually supervising the purchase transaction using the interface.
The invention, in accordance with preferred and exemplary embodiments, together with further objects and advantages thereof, is more particularly described in the following detailed description taken in conjunction with the accompanying drawings in which:
FIG. 1 is an isometric view of a checkout terminal in accordance with an exemplary embodiment of the present invention for reading both product barcodes and an operator barcode on a corresponding scancard for supervisory control of the terminal.
FIG. 2 is a flowchart representation of the checkout terminal illustrated in FIG. 1 including operation thereof in transaction and store modes of operation in accordance with an exemplary embodiment of the present invention.
Illustrated in FIG. 1 is a point of sale (POS) or checkout terminal 10 specifically configured for purchasing one or more products 12 by a customer or user 14. The terminal 10 may have any conventional hardware configuration including a barcode scanner 16, an input interface 18, and a receipt printer 20 operatively joined to a digitally programmable computer or processor 22 which controls operation thereof in a conventional manner.
In a typical supermarket application of the terminal, a weighing scale 24 is also operatively joined to the processor 22. And, a magnetic stripe card reader 26 is also operatively joined to the processor 22.
The processor 22 is suitably programmed using conventional software for controlling the entire operation of the terminal for decoding corresponding product barcodes 28 on the products as they are swiped past the scanner 16 and tabulated in a corresponding purchase list. The input interface 18 is preferably in the form of a conventional touchscreen mounted atop an integral display monitor which displays the details of the transaction including a list of products being purchased and control options represented by virtual keys on the monitor. Alternatively, a mechanical keyboard may be used for inputting data, with corresponding display being provided by an independent display monitor.
Payment for the purchase transaction may be made in any suitable form including ATM debit cards or credit cards having magnetic stripes which are read by the card reader 26 when swiped therethrough.
In the exemplary embodiment illustrated in FIG. 1, the checkout terminal 10 is specifically configured for self-service operation by the customer 14, and thusly additionally includes a bagging area 30 in which the products being purchased may be immediately bagged after their barcodes have been read by the scanner 16 and added to the purchase list.
The processor 22 is specifically programmed in suitable software retained in any conventional memory 32 for operating all required functions of the terminal. The terminal may be an operator-assisted version, or a self-service version for the preferred embodiment of the invention illustrated in FIG. 1.
In accordance with the present invention, the processor 22 is conventionally programmed in a first or transaction mode of operation which uses the barcode scanner 16 to read and decode the various product barcodes 28 found on the corresponding products to conduct the purchase transaction thereof.
In a conventional method, the product barcode 28 identifies the specific product, and the decoded barcode is used to address a product lookup database containing the stored price therefor which is then listed in the running tally or list of the products being purchased by the customer. The transaction mode terminates when all the products have been read and listed and the total price therefor has been determined. Payment in any suitable form may be made therefor by electronic debiting to the ATM card or credit card read by the reader 26, or by receiving cash, where the terminal is configured therefor.
The relevant operations of the checkout terminal illustrated in FIG. 1 are shown schematically in FIG. 2.
In addition to the conventional transaction mode of operation, the processor 22 is also programmed for effecting a store or supervisory mode of operation which is otherwise conventional except for a preferred modification of the terminal and method for accessing the store mode in accordance with the present invention. As indicated above, the store mode may be accessed by an authorized store employee or supervisor 34 typically identified by a supervisor identification number (ID) and a corresponding password selected by the supervisor. The ID and password may be entered into the terminal manually using the touchscreen interface 18 in a conventional manner.
In the store mode of operation, the supervisor is allowed access to various terminal control functions not available in the transaction mode of operation. For example, the supervisor may be alerted by the terminal itself for supervising a transaction mode of operation when required for specific intervention such as entering correct prices for incorrectly scanned products, or entering product price when no price is available in the lookup database, or for correcting typical operational errors occurring during normal use of the terminal.
In the example of the self-service checkout terminal illustrated in FIG. 1, supervisor intervention may also be required for overriding the transaction mode to permit the purchase of restricted items such as alcohol or tobacco to customers meeting required age limits. Or, supervisor intervention may be required in the event of the intentional or inadvertent violation of security measures contained in the self-service checkout terminal.
As initially illustrated in FIG. 2, the processor 22 is further configured or programmed in accordance with the present invention for operating the checkout terminal in the store or supervisory mode of operation using the barcode scanner 16 to read an operator or supervisor barcode 36 printed on a corresponding scancard 38 presented by an authorized supervisor 34, as additionally shown in FIG. 1. The reading and decoding of an authorized supervisor barcode 36 permits automatic supervisor access into the store mode of operation for manually supervising the purchase transaction using the interface 18 in any desired manner.
Since the barcode scanner 16 is already part of the terminal for reading product barcodes 28 it may be used to additional advantage for automatically reading the supervisor barcode 26 for automatically entering the store mode of operation without the need for security keys or manual inputting of supervisor ID numbers and passwords.
A particular advantage of the present invention is that the processor 22 may be programmed to operate the receipt printer 20 under the store mode to print a supervisor barcode 36 on receipt paper therefrom to create the corresponding paper scancard 38 on demand. An exemplary one of the supervisory scancards 38 is illustrated in FIG. 1 being printed on demand from the receipt printer 20, which scancard 38 may then be used for being read by the scanner 16 for entering the store mode of operation. If desired, the receipt-paper scancard 38 may be separately laminated in plastic in any conventional manner for improving the durability and life of the scancard.
However, a particular advantage of the present invention is that the processor 22 may be programmed to operate the receipt printer 20 under the store mode to print a replacement scancard on demand having a new authorization barcode, such as a new password encoded therein for supplanting a previously authorized scancard. Scancards may be misplaced, or it may be desirable to periodically change passwords therefor for maintaining security of the terminal. In view of the simplicity of the scancards being formed directly by the receipt printer, the authorization numbers encoded therein, such as the password, may be changed on demand and as often as desired using the transaction terminal itself for this function. This is quickly and inexpensively accomplished, and previous scancards may be automatically disabled from further use.
As illustrated in FIG. 2, the processor 22 is preferably further programmed to operate the printer 20 under the store mode of operation to print the supervisor barcode 36 having a supervisor ID number and password encoded therein for authorizing the specific supervisor access to the store mode. Any designated supervisor may be permitted access to the store mode of operation, and permitted access to the printing of the scancards 38.
In this regard, therefore, the otherwise conventional store mode operating functions programmed in to the processor 22 are correspondingly modified to permit the additional function of operating the receipt printer to generate the scancards with the barcodes 36 thereon. Conventional software exists for printing barcodes in other applications, and may be introduced into the terminal processor 22 for specifically printing the supervisor barcode 36 for use in automatically accessing the store mode of operation.
As indicated above, the supervisor barcode 36 preferably includes an ID number for the designated supervisor and a corresponding password selected by that supervisor which may be changed at any time on demand. The ID number will normally remain constant for a specific supervisor, with the password changing as desired for maintaining security access limited to the designated supervisor.
In the preferred embodiment, the processor 22 is also programmed to encrypt the password in the supervisor barcode 36 to prevent unauthorized decoding thereof which could be used for manually entering the store mode using the touchscreen interface 18. Any form of encryption may be used such as exclusive-or using a specified string of digits corresponding in string length to the length of the desired password. The user selected password in the form of a string of digits may then be operated against the reference string in exclusive-or which effectively adds the respective digits of the strings and disregards any carryover digit 1. The password itself may then be encrypted, and is not readily deciphered without substantial expertise and effort.
A particular advantage of using the supervisor barcode 36 is that the processor 22 may be specifically programmed to automatically enter the store mode upon reading any scancard 38 having a supervisor barcode matching an authorized barcode stored in the system memory 32. The barcode scanner is programmed to read any barcode presented thereto, with recognized product barcodes being handled in the normal transaction mode of operation, and a recognized supervisor barcode automatically placing the terminal in the store mode of operation for further intervention by the supervisor.
In this way, the processor 22 is specifically programmed to operate the scanner 16 to automatically read and detect the supervisor scancard 38 in addition to the regular product barcodes 28 presented thereto.
The introduction into the terminal 10 of the additional function of responding to a supervisor barcode 36 supplements conventional operating functions thereof without adverse affect thereof. In a typical method of operation, the processor 22 may be programmed to request the need for supervisor intervention at the input interface 18 by audible alert or display of an intervention message on the display screen thereof. The store mode of operation may then be entered by an authorized supervisor who either manually enters an ID number and password through the input interface 18, or simply scans a supervisor scancard 38 at the barcode scanner 16. In this way, the supervisor may obtain quick and secured access to the store mode either upon demand by the terminal when required, or simply automatically by scanning the supervisor barcode past the barcode scanner when desired.
The checkout terminal 10 illustrated in FIG. 1 may thusly be modified in accordance with the present invention for introducing changes in programming for not only recognizing a supervisor scancard for accessing the store mode of operation, but for also printing on demand such supervisor scancards using the conventional receipt printer 20 operated in the correspondingly new manner. The so modified checkout terminal may then be used for effecting an improved method of operation providing quick and secure access to the store mode of operation of the terminal using the self-generated scancards 38.
However, the scancards could be otherwise manufactured in a more permanent form, such as rigid plastic cards, if desired but this would require increased cost and lead time, which are typically not desirable when the need for periodic changing of passwords is desired for enhancing secure operation of the terminals. On demand printing of the scancards 38 is preferred for inexpensively maintaining scancard security of the terminals by printing the scancards as often as desired.
Although the introduction of the security scancard is preferred specifically for the self-service form of checkout terminal described above, the security scancards may be used in other types of POS terminals as desired which have receipt printers capable of printing the identification barcodes.
While there have been described herein what are considered to be preferred and exemplary embodiments of the present invention, other modifications of the invention shall be apparent to those skilled in the art from the teachings herein, and it is, therefore, desired to be secured in the appended claims all such modifications as fall within the true spirit and scope of the invention.

Health care bill will be historicApril 21,2014Health care bill
will be historic
About Time Crunch (April 20): Who would have guessed when the Legislature asked consultant Thorpe for a Plan B that he would serve them something other than leftovers? Well, at least his ideas were better than the well-known Republican plan of, Dont get sick, but if you do, die fast.
As you said, it is an enormously complicated undertaking that requires careful planning and scrutiny by all, but the Legislature must keep in mind that universal health care for Vermont is not only an idea whose time has come, but it is also clearly affordable, as world economic data show:
If Vermont were its own country, it would rank 20th in per capita GDP (PCGDP) with $38,198 (2005). Adjusted for parity of purchasing power (which equalizes currencies worth), it puts Vermont right ahead of Belgium and 171 other countries;
Twenty-one of those countries have health care outcomes which, dollar for dollar, are superior to the U.S. (2013 PCGDP, $52,800, ranking 8th in 2013);
Of the 36 countries which have health outcomes superior to the U.S., only 15 have a higher PCGDP than Vermont. Vermonters per capita are richer than the citizens of France, Belgium, Denmark, the United Kingdom, Andorra, Japan, Finland, San Marino, Israel, Saudi Arabia, New Zealand, Spain, the United Arab Emirates, Oman, Italy, Cyprus, Greece, Portugal, Chile, Argentina and Colombia.
The Legislature ought to keep in mind what the prize is: A system of universal coverage will ensure that never again will Vermonters have to put off having an illness treated until it is too late. Never again will they lose their insurance because they lost their job due to being too sick to work. Never again will they go bankrupt due to costs of medical care. Never again will their doctors be told to deny them appropriate care. The Legislature that passes this bill will be the most famous in the history of the state.

A Hot Thing: Black Female Sexualities Reimagined -- SAMLA Nov. 4-6, 2016
Across genres and eras, black women's bodies have existed as hypersexualized sites of desire and objects of inequality. This can be observed from the Hottentot Venus to the minstrel trope of the jezebel to the video vixens of hip-hop. In Black Looks: Race and Representation, bell hooks states that "When race and ethnicity become commodified as resources for pleasure, the culture of specific groups, as well as the bodies of individuals, can be seen as constituting an alternative playground where members of dominating races, genders, sexual practices affirm their power-over in intimate relations with the Other." Yet today there are departures from these power relations wherein black women have seized agency through their sexuality.

This might seem like a stupid question but it's been a long day. I'm an adapting some Perl code for another use and I ran across this syntax:
my @request;
#... fill the array with stuff...
my $reply = $service->call('requestMessage' => @request, $header);
That method call seems implausible, if
=> is just a special kind of comma and @request gets interpolated into the list.
Is it actually equivalent to:
my $reply = $service->call('requestMessage' => \@request, $header);
What's going on here?
EDIT: Thanks for the answers. I am well aware of the difference between pass by value and pass by reference. I was asking if an apparent pass by value was being converted into a pass by reference. Apparently not. Thank you all for answering.

Rock Climbing Photos : Comments
Comments by rockprodigy (8)
No $hit, I found it on the summit of Devil's Thumb, and that's where I left it. I thought it prudent to take a photo, however, because it looked like it was in ill repair. I'll sell you the photo for $100. I'm glad you guys think it's cool...it's nice to see other climbers who care about history, because I seem to meet more and more these days that couldn't give two $hits.

Fort Bragg challenges directorates to focus on energy conservation
April 1, 2010
Related Links
FORT BRAGG, N.C. - The Sustainable Fort Bragg Green Directorate Program has issued a challenge for all directorates and installation agencies to go green.
The GreenDP program was created through the teaming of Sustainable Fort Bragg and Sustainable Sandhills, said Melinda Harrington, sustainable materials planner, Directorate of Public Works.
To go green, a directorate must conserve energy and minimize impact on the environment, Harrington said.
Some of the ways to accomplish this is by promoting recycling, becoming energy and water efficient and by improving indoor and outdoor air quality.
So far, four directorates have signed up to go green and, on March 1, received green certification from the GreenDP program.
The green directorates are the headquarters of Family, Morale, Welfare and Recreation, Plans, Training and Mobilization; as well as the eighth floor of the Directorate of Logistics at the Soldier Support Center and the Installation Safety Office.
The green distinction could be given to offices, and is not exclusive to only whole directorates, said sustainability coordinator Katie Gard.
Going green is easily achieved once goals have been set, Gard said. It is about "achieving a mindset."
Directorates who attain green certification will receive a certificate to market their achievement and an electronic version of the logo to use in promotional materials, as well as recognition in the Sustainable Fort Bragg Web site, the quarterly newsletter and media releases when applicable.
Initial certification is valid for one year. Subsequent certifications are valid for two years.
Fort Bragg employees do not personally receive electric bills for their usage, but daily actions can have a cumulative effect on cost incurred by the installation, Harrington said.
Also, with budget cuts for this fiscal year, any effort to save money could potentially help secure someone's job or help Fort Bragg to meet its mission of taking care of Soldiers and Families.
Actions such as turning off computer monitors when not in use; turning off water when it isn't being used; buying compostable, recycled products for use across the installation; sharing rides to meetings and lunches; and unplugging radios, cell phone chargers and appliances when not being used are all steps toward going green.
On the eighth floor of DOL, various changes were instituted among the more than 30 employees, according to Steven Alderson, DOL program specialist.
Alderson said workers converted from buying styrofoam cups to recycled fiber products for drinking and eating, for instance.
Bike racks were installed to accommodate people who ride their bicycles to work, which saves on automobile emissions.
Additionally, light sensors were put in place to reduce energy usage.
Obtaining green-certification was a goal of the directorate, said Alderson, who encourages other directorates to follow suit.
"Only one organization can do so much, but with everyone doing it, we will have a bigger outcome," Alderson said. "It would be beneficial to the installation if every organization does it."
For more information about participating in the GreenDP program, contact Sustainable Fort Bragg at 396-3341.

text: The supporters of Measure K have signs sprouting all over the place that say "End the Tax, Build the Station." That's like saying, "do away with all birth control and reduce the population." It's an oxymoron, a non-starter, mathematically impossible. Measure K will bankrupt the Newcastle Fire Protection District (NFPD). It's third-grade math. If you want a safe and secure Newcastle community, vote no on Measure K. Vote for the incumbents, Yvonne Lewis, Bob Stearns and Dave Poore, for the NFPD board. They worked hard to get Measure B passed. We have the revenue flow thanks to Measure B to get a site and start building. So stay the course. It's not rocket science; let's really build a fire station. Vote no on K! Elinor Petuskey, Newcastle

2 seats rear facing in terrain
Comments (3)
Do you mean all-terrain vehicle (ATV)? Is this your main vehicle? Does your household have any other vehicles?
Also, how long is DS torso (or, what # shoulder slot is he using now?).
You might want to try the Snugride 22 for your new baby, but that might only buy you a little more time.
The Car Seat Poncho was invented by a CPST in 2005.
It's the EASY way to keep your child WARM in the car seat!
I'm betting OP is talking about a GMC Terrain.
It looks big, but that back seat isn't so roomy. My mom has one. The back seat can be moved forward or backward. Is it all the way back? Is that position allowed when carseats are in use? That might give you a little room.
M(8): Growing up way too fast!
J(7): HNPP, GAD, SM, ADHD, SPD, GERD, ... He's complicated ;)
Have Carseat Questions?
Does your DH also have the front seat reclined? If the front seat is a little more upright, he'll gain leg room. I understand he can't be totally crunched, but if it's just a little uncomfortable, I'd prefer the adult be a little uncomfortable with my less than 2 year old safer in the car.
Also, the convertible can gently touch the front seat, but not forcefully brave, if that gives you a little more room than what you thought.

text: Our great and good friend, Pakistan, has just given a vast portion of its northwest area to the Taliban and its friend, Al Qaeda, also, instituting Islamic law throughout that region. This is, of course, conveniently close to Afghanistan where these two entities are busily killing American soldiers and provides them with a relatively safe refuge. Meanwhile, in Washington our benevolent bunglers of foreign policy are working hard to help Pakistan obtain an "additional" $1 billion from the International Monetary Fund (which we bankroll) in addition to the millions in foreign aid we give it annually because Pakistan helps us so very much to fight "terrorism." I wonder if this little annoyance will deter some of this annual largess? This dispersal of taxpayers' dollars, especially during a period when we have millions of jobless, seems an insult to our taxpayers. Foreign aid seems such a whimsical thing: Several years ago, for example, I was amused to see a $20,000 item in our aid to Poland to "study Polish frogs." No kidding! Obviously of significant importance to our well-being. How does this differ from the imaginary help we're getting from Pakistan in the fight against terrorism and several other recipients of our tax money, money for corrupt foreign politicians and criminal regimes, for imaginary benefits. I hope some of it helped the frogs! Arne Celick Auburn

What's on the menu? You could stick with a classic: our oven-baked bone-in wings. When our morsels of goodness come out of the oven, we cover them in one of our sauces—or leave them plain! (Just as delicious, we promise) Or mix it up with boneless wings, made delicious by their light breading and a hint of savory spices. Want extra flavor with your wings? Dip into one of our sauces for the perfect combo. Order any of our saucy treats, from subtly sweet (that's the Mango Habanero Sauce) to hot (with our own spicy Buffalo wings sauce) to tangy (bold BBQ sauce). We serve deliciousness however you like it. That's because wing delivery is one of the things that we do best. We also offer entrées like pasta dishes and hot oven-baked sandwiches, as well as desserts like the Chocolate Lava Crunch Cake and appetizers like breadsticks with marinara sauce. Why do we have so many options? It's simple: we aim to bring you the best.

Another perk? Domino's develop-from-within approach starts with team members like the drivers - delivering could lead to owning a franchise.

Robert Hay-Smith
Born: London
Age: 70
Primary language: English
Work: Artistic director of Harlequin Theatre. He has been involved in acting since he was 3 years old, and he continues to write and perform. He's also an accomplished musician, most famously known for the No. 1 Billboard Hot 100 hit "Winchester Cathedral," and he still has regular bass gigs.
Education: Attended primary and secondary school in England and went on to study at the Royal Military School of Music, the Corona Academy of Music and Dramatic Art and the City Literary Institute. He also studied cooking at Northampton College in 1990.
Family: Wife, Evelyn Stirling, of 26 years — although because they were married on a Leap Day, the couple has only celebrated a quarter of those anniversaries. Hay-Smith and Stirling also have a 19-year-old son, Miles, who is attending the University of Northwestern Ohio to study performance engineering.
Hobbies: I like to play golf, I suppose that's a hobby. It's hard because this, the theater, feels like a hobby. I like to read mostly plays, not a lot of fiction. I also try to understand computer technology. I hate computers, and I think they know I hate them. But my whole life feels like a hobby.
How and when did you come to live in Columbus?
My wife was transferred here from Belgium, where we lived for six years, for Cummins. We were supposed to stay for three to five years, but that was in November 1996. I left the New Vaudeville Band in 1990 because I had too many balls in the air, and around then she was offered this opportunity in Belgium. I said we'll just go. We'd been married a couple of years and she said, 'What about you?' And I said, 'We'll see what happens.' I believe sincerely that women, even now, with all the push towards equality, they don't get the opportunity to fulfill their potential. So off we went.
We had a great time in Belgium, where little Miles was born, but I've always been nomadic by nature anyway. It was a choice to come to Columbus. They wanted her to come here, and it was just another stepping-stone in life's little adventures. I'm here now. I seem to enjoy it wherever I am.
What do you like best about your job?
I really enjoy nurturing talent out of people when I'm directing a play. You let them run, you know? I like to make people feel special. We normally have a lot of fun. I very rarely, in fact, I think only once have I ever screamed at my actors. Once. There's no point, what does it gain? Along the way, you never know what effect you have on people.
But the other reason I am here is because I enjoy entertaining people. I like creating an environment where people can have a good time, and the last two shows have been sold out.
What were some of your first impressions of the U.S.?
I had been to the states before to do shows with the band. We were doing Vegas and the Greek Theatre and Vancouver back in the '60s. It was just a wild, fun place at the time, back there in California in the late '60s.
When we came to Columbus, we thought, 'What a fabulous community.' I've never known such community spirit as here in Columbus. There's this attitude where if something went wrong, everyone would rally, which actually happened in the flood.
How have people reacted to you in Columbus?
You sort of need to ask them. I seem to get on with most people, or at least I think so. They seem to like my English accent.
What were some of the most difficult things to adjust to?
Distance, I suppose. Even in Belgium we had to drive to the shops, but I think it was hard for my son. His friends that he would meet, they might live 10 miles away.
In a fun way, the other thing hard to adapt to is the fact Columbus seems to go to bed at 9:30 p.m. when we're used to late-night parties. When we first came here I threw a housewarming party and invited all my neighbors and everyone we knew. We were ready for it, but by 9:30 they had all gone. Disappeared. Yet in Belgium we threw a party with 50 guests when I was 50 and my wife was 40, so we threw a 90th. It was meant to be on a Saturday, but they started arriving on the Friday night, I cooked a breakfast for 30 on Sunday morning and I cooked dinner for 11 on Sunday evening and then there was one couple left on Monday morning.
What do you miss most about London and Belgium?
I really don't miss anything about London. I suppose the only thing I would miss was being able to walk to the shops.
I miss the food and the chocolates and the beer in Belgium, which probably puts me in perspective now. I probably miss not having to speak French anymore. Our French has slipped away a bit.
What advice do you have for newcomers to Columbus?
It's all to do with friendship, really. Don't just stay within your little group. Reach out and make friends with people, especially if you've come from another country. Learn to understand how different people see the world, because people have different ways of looking at things.
Also, come to every single show at the Harlequin.
What is your favorite place to visit and why?
Gosh, that's a huge question. I might not even have found it yet. There's lots of places I really like, but I might not have found my favorite place yet. Actually, it might be where I end up settling down.
I was stunned by the Grand Canyon, and Brussels is a lovely place.

Mayor Greg Nickels and the Seattle Transportation Department have admitted a few errors in cleaning up after December's storms but mostly blamed the weather for keeping city streets caked in ice and snow for nearly two weeks.
"The snow in Seattle is just always going to be an inconvenience," Nickels initially declared on Dec. 24. "We're not Buffalo or Cleveland."
But as public outrage mounted over impassable streets, the city assigned a senior policy analyst to make the case against Mother Nature. The assignment, it seems, was a tough one.

"Trying to find good weather data is harder than finding good crime data," analyst Robert Scales wrote in a Dec. 31 e-mail. "What is available is incomplete and inconsistent, and no one seems to know where any good sources of historical info are."
Nonetheless, the city trotted out the weather statistics it could find, and the city's transportation department began talking about the series of weather fronts as a single "storm that lasted 13 days and brought a continuous 2-8 inches of snow every other day."
A news release from the mayor's office emphasized that the snow stayed on the ground longer than any other storm in at least 20 years, a fallback position after the research revealed that a 1996 storm dumped more snow on the ground.
Cliff Mass, professor of atmospheric sciences at the University of Washington, said the December snowfall was the result of seven discrete weather events that produced total snowfall of 9.6 inches.
The snow, as measured at Sand Point by the National Weather Service, reached a maximum depth of 4 inches at one time, far less than the 2 feet of snow measured at the same location in 1996, Mass said.
"We usually get two or three events a year of a few inches each … very typical," Mass said. "There was no big storm that should have overwhelmed them if they had kept up with it.
"They allowed the classic Seattle failure mode to occur: snow falling on a relatively warm road surface that partially melts it, aided by car heat. Then colder air comes in and freezes it. Then it is hard to get rid of it, particularly when you won't use salt."

A Daily Essential for all skin types. Juice Beauty's Organic Treatment Oil is designed for all skin types and especially beneficial for normal, dry or mature skin.
Helpful Tip:This facial treatment oil can also be used on all dry spots including elbows, heels and even as a deep hair conditioner!
I do like the oil- in fact, I use only Juice Beauty products because they are gentle and GlutenFree. BUT I cannot get past the funny smell. I am into scents, and need products to have a nice fresh scent, or no scent at all. Not the case here- For that reason- I am out.
I truly believe this helped get rid of an age spot I had on my upper cheek. I love the texture and I feel it brightens my skin.
I've got mature skin, but I'm told I look 15 years younger than my age. Because I've used good skincare products since I was in my 20s, knowing the day would come. This is the BEST all around moisturizer, skin rejuvenator, whatever you want to call it I have ever used. I layer a tiny bit over my daily routine of anti-aging creams, and it leaves my skin moist and glowing and most importantly, feeling wonderful. I've had more comments on my skin since I started using this product than any other product or combination of products. LOVE it.
Shake before use. After cleansing with Organic Facial Wash, moisturize morning and evening by warming in palms before smoothing over face, neck and decollete.

Del Oro senior makes her musical dreams come trueBy: Leah Rosasco, Loomis News Correspondent
A dream that began eight years ago at the Del Oro High School Band Spectacular has become a reality for a local teen. When Del Oro senior Megan Gentes, 17, went to the marching band event with her grandmother, Isabel Foster, of Rocklin, eight years ago, she knew she wanted to be the leader of the band one day. Last year her dream came true when she was selected as Del Oro's Drum major for the 2012-13 school year. As drum major, Megan leads the 80-member marching band in competitions and performances throughout the school year, including this year's Del Oro Band Spectacular, a fundraiser for the Del Oro Band program on Oct. 20. "We've been practicing a lot of hours for it," Megan said. Band Spectacular is an annual event that includes a parade down Taylor Road and a competitive field show that takes place at the school. The event features more than 30 schools from around the area and beyond. According to Ben Duncan, Del Oro Band Director, local schools participating in the show include Placer, Oakmont and Whitney high schools. "We also have a school band coming from Idaho to participate as a special guest," Duncan said. The Del Oro Band typically participates in some 30 competitions and performs at nearly 100 events each school year, including sporting events, community concerts and events such as the town's Day Before Thanksgiving Parade. Duncan said the band is in good hands with Megan, citing her ability to inspire and command the band. "Megan is hard working and responsible and independent," Duncan said. "That is what we look for in a leader." According to Megan, being drum major allows her to see the show from a different point of view. "I like that I lead the band all by myself, but I'm still a part of the band," she said. "I also hope that my enthusiasm is at least a little bit contagious and it inspires people." Although she gives what she can to her peers as drum major, Megan said she gets a lot out of the band as well. In addition to teaching her that hard work can be rewarding, she said she values the friendships she has formed. When preparing to start school as a freshman, Megan said many of her classmates were nervous about starting high school and making friends, but she wasn't. "I'd spent all summer practicing with the band, so I knew I already had 80 friends and I wasn't nervous at all," she said. Megan's mother, Susan Gentes (nee Foster), who graduated from Del Oro in 1972, said Megan picked up her first instrument at the age of nine, shortly after attending that fateful Band Spectacular with her grandmother, and she now plays the flute, the saxophone, and the piccolo. "She was a child who from the moment she held her first instrument had a passion for music," Susan Gentes said. For the past 12 years, Megan has been involved with music. Before joining the Del Oro band, she was in the school band at H. Clarke Powers Elementary School and has played for several local youth symphonies, including the Placer County Youth Orchestra. According to Margie Hartung, artistic director of the Placer County Youth Orchestra, Megan is an asset to the group because of her technical skill as well as her personality. "She is always very kind and very positive," Hartung said. "She's a great role model to her peers." In addition to her musical accomplishments Megan also maintains a 4.2 GPA and runs cross country at Del Oro. "She has never been a kid to do anything half way," Susan Gentes said of her daughter. "She is an inspiration to me every day." Del Oro Band Fall Spectacular What: Parade and band competition benefiting the Del Oro Band program When: Oct. 20, 11a.m. parade, 3:45 p.m. field show Where: Parade on Taylor Road, field show at Del Oro football stadium Cost: Parade is free; field show is $10 Information: 652-7243, ext. 1552, email firstname.lastname@example.com, or www.deloroband.com

For the Web Generation, Travel Is Self-Service
By BOB TEDESCHI
Published: October 20, 2002
WHEN Enda Carey booked his first trip on the Internet in 1998, a journey from New York to Argentina and Brazil, he wasn't immediately convinced that what he'd done was real.
''I remember thinking it must've been a mistake,'' said Mr. Carey, a vice president at J. P. Morgan Chase in New York. ''I didn't really believe it until the tickets were in my hands.''
It is, perhaps, equally difficult to grasp the depth of the change wrought by the Internet on the travel industry in the four years since then, and the eight years since companies first lined up on the Web in earnest to reach wired travelers.
Statistics help tell part of the story: more than 61 million households in the United States will book travel online this year, according to Forrester Research, a technology consultant. They will spend roughly $20 billion on those bookings, or 10 percent of the travel industry total. At $13.2 billion, airline bookings make up by far the greatest share of that figure, but hotel bookings are growing fastest.
And those numbers will arc ever higher; Forrester expects online hotel bookings to more than double over the next four years, to $7.7 billion from $3.8 billion. Already, travel is by far the No. 1 activity among Internet consumers. According to ComScore Networks, travel-related purchases accounted for about 43 percent of online consumer spending in the first half of this year. In some weeks, more travel is purchased online than every other category combined.
The typical consumer making travel arrangements online, while edging toward the mainstream with every passing year, remains slightly upscale, according to Forrester. The average individual is 44, and lives in a household with income of $76,000 a year. Fifty-three percent are male, 60 percent are college graduates, and 55 percent hold professional or managerial jobs.
While numbers help show the current state of the industry, they fail to convey the multitude of subtle and not-so-subtle behavioral shifts the Web has brought to consumers -- and foisted on travel suppliers and travel agents.
Mr. Carey said he had to invest an evening of Internet surfing to find his fare four years ago, which he booked on Expedia. Until buying that ticket, Mr. Carey said he relied exclusively on travel agents.
''I can afford to spend more time researching fares,'' he said. ''Travel agents have to get you out of the chain with a ticket as fast as they can.''
The self-serve generation has also become the last-minute generation. Analysts say online buyers have been ''trained'' by airlines, hotels and rental car agencies to be on the lookout for 11th-hour bargains, as companies scramble to fill seats.
Of course, there are others who resist online booking, but still rely on the Internet to find good fares. Sheryl Victorson, an office manager at the Veterans Administration in Boston, said that she regularly checked the Web for bargains, but that she called the airlines directly when she found them.
''I have a little bit of a hang-up, giving my credit card online,'' Ms. Victorson said. ''And I like having a one-on-one relationship with a place I'm doing business with. But I've definitely saved money by looking online.''
As for the impact of the Internet on travel suppliers, a typical case is that of Sanjiv Patel, who owns and operates the Red Carpet Inn in Albany. Like many of the 240 franchisees in the Hospitality International chain, it is a modest hotel, with rates typically $50 to $55 a night. Before this year, Mr. Patel said the franchise didn't have the ability to accept reservations online, and lost considerable business to Marriott, Fairfield Inn and other competitors.
When the company started offering Internet reservations in January, through middlemen, the impact was immediate: the hotel booked 25 percent more rooms over the previous year's level. This was a particularly meaningful number for Albany, Mr. Patel said, because competition there is high and occupancy rates hover around 73 percent; the national average is about 63 percent.
There was, however, a catch. When consumers book with the chain's hotels online, Mr. Patel said, they are often offered discounted rates usually given only to members of AAA or AARP, so the hotel gets 10 percent less on the room price.
On top of that, Mr. Patel pays 8 to 10 percent to the company that links the hotel to a broad computerized reservation system listing all of Hospitality International's rooms on various Web sites. Then, the online travel agency where the consumer books the room takes a 10 percent cut, Mr. Patel said.
Even though the hotel earns nearly one-third less on each Internet sale, Mr. Patel deemed Internet bookings beneficial, saying, ''You take what you can get.''
Indeed, the Web has been a double-edged sword for hotels, airlines and car rental agencies. Along with technology costs, the bargain-hunter mentality of online bookers -- and the ease of checking competitors' rates -- will continue to depress profits across the industry, analysts say.

Vertex Nears Hit or Miss
(VRTX - Get Report) is pushing ahead with an aggressive drug development plan that, if successful, will drastically improve how hepatitis C is treated across the world -- and make boatloads of money for the company and investors in the process. If Vertex stumbles, however, the blowup will be spectacular, even by biotech standards.The drug in question is called telaprevir. Vertex is in the midst of an ambitious phase II clnical study program that will yield crucial data over the next 10 to 12 months. Most importantly, we'll soon know whether: 1) telaprevir can shorten treatment time for most hepatitis C patients to as little as three months, compared with about a year for current treatments; and 2) whether telaprevir can boost cure rates for hepatitis C patients to 70% to 80% or higher from about 50% today. If the telaprevir pill can achieve all that, the drug might easily generate $2 billion to $3 billion in revenue and could double or even triple the value of Vertex shares, which closed Monday at $32.52. Likewise, the downside risk is eye-popping: Wipe telaprevir off Vertex's map, and the stock could head quickly back to the teens. While Vertex has other drugs in the oven, the company's near-term fortunes are tied tightly to telaprevir, which is why investors need to pay attention to the outcomes of these ongoing clinical trials, which the company has dubbed PROVE 1 and PROVE 2.Vertex Pharmaceuticals

Brobdingnagian Bob by AndywerkWatch
©2012-2016 Andywerk
Caterpillars 8800 series is produced for the civilian market but they cant quite hide their military heritage with gun ports in the side and rear doors and the mounting for the roof turret (not fitted on this model). This one Brobdingnagian Bob was part of the Mars mission of 2109 and was used as a supply and support vehicle for many years. Fully equipped with mapping and recording gear , a drive through hanger and 2 massive turbines to supply power to the drive sprockets it was a testament to Bobs rugged construction that enabled it to withstand the close impact of a meteor with little more than some scratched paint. Really happy with this one , took about 3 days on and off, except for the running gear, did that months ago but didnt know what to fit it to. I hope to do some more different versions latter. Uploaded 2 files to my Sketchup page for download, about 17megs in all.
Reminds me a lot of the trucks on Siberius in Ratchet and Clank 2, looks awesome
Very detailed, nice
That looks great mate, love the details on tracks.
Kinda reminds me of my old Bigtrak.
Great model! And I absolutely dig all the details!
absolutely beautiful!

Rossi wants a tunnel. Frank Chopp wants the Chopp-Duct. And Gregoire is ducking any hard decisions on replacing the Alaskan Way Viaduct until after the election. So let's hear from the mathematicians. Cited on a blog on Wired, a study by Hyejin Youn and Hawoong Jeong of the Korea Advanced Institute of Science and Technology and Michael Gastner of the Santa Fe Institute suggests that rather than adding more capacity to reduce traffic, fewer lanes may be more efficient.
Are you reading this, Tim Eyman?
"The Price of Anarchy in Transportation Networks: Efficiency and Optimality Control" cites Braess' Paradox, which we could never hope to understand on the blackboard. But on the pavement, its hypothesis is basically the opposite of Eyman's Initiative 985. He thinks that if you open up carpool lanes during non-rush hours, it'll lessen congestion. Braess' Paradox suggests that too many network choices, like more lanes on a freeway, actually slows down the network, because the data keeps flitting back and forth between networks, rather than seeking maximum efficiency through one pipe.
Traffic engineers have often made the same observation: An empty new eight-lane freeway looks so inviting that motorists flock to it in their single-occupant vehicles. Then gridlock results, and everyone gets angry while listening to Rush Limbaugh on the radio. It's a kind of bait-and-switch, like the TV weatherman telling us it's bright and sunny outside, and we all leave our umbrellas at home and find ourselves in a rainstorm.
Now consider the viaduct, which carries over 100,000 people through town each weekday. Should we replace the existing lanes on a 1:1 basis, as some insist? Or increase the number of lanes above ground, below, or at grade? Or reduce capacity to the street?
In their lovely phrase, Youn, Jeong, and Gastner describe "the price of anarchy" when too many network options actually slow us down from the travel time from one preferred option. (Anarchy also nicely describes the current state of our viaduct replacement process.) So it all depends on how you think you gain efficiency: more lanes, fewer lanes, fewer users (i.e., tolls), or fewer single-occupancy vehicles (i.e., transit).
Anyone care to solve that equation?

it doesnt burn me out but if im doing it every week, it might. i have planned deloads every 4th week so that concern may be overcautious. i have a feeling ill end up doing inc dbs :P setting up is so much easier than flat db.
I think with 5/3/1's deloads you'll be fine. That's what you're doing, right?
setting up shouldnt be a problem for you. you put the db's on your knees then kick it up to your chest with an explosive calf press of sorts. your calf should be putting the db in motion and all you have to do is guide, stabilize and catch the db as it gets up to shoulder level... should be very little upper body involved in getting em up there
putting em down shouldnt be a prob either. you just bring the dbs into your beginning pressing position, bring up your knees under the db then lower your leg absorbing the descent with your calf. pretty much the opposite of the other movement. alternatively you can drop them but then people like me will give you angry looks in the gym hahah
haha nice.
k. so benching felt just fine. incline dbs. i liked that benching article that acress wrote. ive been thinking about it... and i shouldnt really care where my bb bench numbers are at since i just want relative strength and more development. so inc db it was.. and will be for at least the next 12 weeks or 3 cycles although i used too much weight today.

I think the choice to go with the DB's and the route you are taking is the right choice. My chest would be fatigued after all of that DB pressing! How is your strength endurance? How long are your rest periods between sets.
Keeping on point Tim, solid session.
thanks terry.

f=ma, keep up the hard work.
I'm gonna find it really useful to follow your lean bulk whilst I am also doing the same. Can't wait till you hit proper grown calories! :)
Good work man. Do the face pulls seem to be helping the cuffs at all? I did mine at the end of my workout today, do you think I should do them before?
