1. Field of the Invention
The present invention relates to the field of computer systems and, in particular, to portable computer systems.
2. Background
A personal digital assistant (PDA) is a small hand-held computer for storing addresses and phone numbers, taking notes, and keeping track of daily appointments. And, unlike a paper organizer, a PDA can download e-mail and play music. Though originally intended to be simple digital calendars, PDAs have evolved into machines for crunching numbers, playing games or music, and downloading information from the Internet. However, typically a PDA is intended to complement a desktop or laptop computer (PC), not replace one.
PDAs can be categorized into two major categories: hand-held computers and palm-sized computers. Compared to palm-sized computers, hand-held computers tend to be larger and heavier. They have larger liquid crystal displays (LCD) and use a miniature keyboard, usually in combination with touch-screen technology, for data entry. Palm-sized computers are smaller and lighter. They have smaller LCDs and rely on stylus/touch-screen technology and handwriting recognition programs for data entry. Regardless of the type of PDA, conventional PDAs all include microprocessors, operating systems, local memories, and input/output devices.
The microprocessor is the brain of the PDA and coordinates all of the PDA's functions according to programmed instructions. The operating system of the PDA contains the pre-programmed instructions that tell the microprocessor what to do (e.g., how to operate the applications executed by the microprocessor). The PDA stores its basic programs (address book application, calendar application, memo pad application and operating system) in a read-only memory (ROM) chip, which remains intact even when the machine shuts down. The other data and programs that are added later are stored in the PDA's random-access memory (RAM), static RAM, and/or flash memory.
Because a typical PDA is intended to work in tandem with a PC, they need to work with the same information in both places. That is, if a PDA user makes an appointment on its PC, it also needs to transfer the appointment to its PDA; if the user jots down a phone number on its PDA, it should upload the number later to its PC. So, a PDA needs to be able to communicate with a PC. The communication between PDA and PC is referred to as data synchronization or "syncning." This is typically done through a serial or USB port on the PDA. Some PDAs also offer wireless methods to transfer data to and from a PC/PC network, e.g., through a wireless e-mail/Internet service provider. In addition, some PDAs offer modem accessories to transfer files to and from a PC/PC network.
While PDAs are starting to have wireless network connectivity to facilitate data synchronization or syncing with the PC, they still rely on a locally stored operating system and applications to provide their functionalities. In this respect, the hardware resources available on the PDAs and the applications downloaded to the PDAs limit the capabilities of the conventional PDAs. Similarly, users of the PDAs have to configure the PDAs for their usage with the correct applications and parameters. In addition, if a user needs a new PDA due to a fault (or failure) of the current PDA or due to the current PDA having insufficient hardware resources, the user has to repeat the configuration process. Moreover, each PDA user needs to have its own PDA even if it only needs a PDA for a small fraction of the time. Therefore, a lot of time and cost are lost because conventional PDAs have to be periodically and individually provided, reconfigured and/or upgraded. Accordingly, there is a need to provide a PDA system and method with the advantages of a conventional PDA but avoiding the need to periodically and individually provide, reconfigure, and upgrade the PDA.
Moreover, conventional PDAs need to have sufficient memory (or storage) capacity and processing capability to execute applications locally. These requirements may conflict with the need or aim of having smaller and smaller PDAs, which may not have enough storage capacity or processing capability for storing or processing, respectively, large applications (or software programs or large parts of software programs). Accordingly, it is further desired to provide a system and method for providing a small (or thin) PDA without reducing the PDA's capabilities.
The present invention provides a thin client network architecture to a personal digital assistant (PDA). In one embodiment, the PDA of the present invention can be further described as a portable thin network client (as opposed to a thick client or a full-featured client). A portable thin client is a small, portable (e.g., wireless), stateless, "plug and work" computer whose main function is to process all input and output for the user, as well as to manage communication with at least one server. All other computational tasks (or services) for the user can then be performed on the server which is shared amongst a community of thin clients.
Because the portable thin clients of the present invention are stateless (i.e., devices that process information without any knowledge of previous/subsequent information), a user's information can be instantly sent to any thin client within the network. That is, a user can be in the middle of a user service or session (e.g., typing an e-mail message) on one portable thin client, move to another portable (or static) thin client and then resume the same user service exactly where the user left off. Similarly, if a portable thin client fails, a user can move from the failed portable thin client to another portable thin client without losing any work.
In addition, the off-loading of computational services (i.e., the traditional client processing, such as state maintenance and driver services) from the portable thin client (i.e., PDA of the present invention) to the shared servers permits simplification of the PDA because resources, such as software and hardware for performing these computational services, are not needed at the PDA. Thus, the hardware resources required for the PDA are both small and highly deterministic, as the only software and/or hardware required for any application is that needed to run the local hardware (e.g., the screen of the PDA and the input device of the PDA) and to communicate over the wireless network. More specifically, the processing/memory requirements for the PDA of the present invention can be vastly deterministic such that the entire PDA hardware may be optimized down to the input/output supported by that hardware rather than over-provisioning the hardware for future usage (because the communication bandwidth required is very deterministic).
Moreover, as a result of re-architecting the PDA as a portable thin client, there is no need to download application(s) and operating system(s) to the PDA because the server—through the network—provides these services. There is also no data loss when a PDA is faulty or has to be changed. Finally, since the present invention allows an enterprise's information technology (IT) department to make available the required applications only at the server servicing the PDAs, the network architecture of the present invention does not require a PDA upgrade if an application upgrade is required or a new application is needed.
In one embodiment, a wireless communication system for providing user sessions to wireless clients is provided by the present invention. The system includes a wireless network, a wired network, and a wireless client for providing an interface for a user to access a user session. A wireless server is coupled to the wireless client via the wireless network. Wired servers are coupled to the wireless server via the wired network. The wired servers provide the user session for the user through the wired network and maintain the user session on the wired servers. The user session includes a computational power and a state maintenance for the user.
In another embodiment, a method for using a wireless client to receive a user session is provided. The method includes inputting a user identifier (ID) into a wireless client. An Internet Protocol (IP) address is then configured for the wireless client. Once the IP address has been configured, the wireless client is connected with a server via a wireless client. The wireless client then reports its display capability and the user ID to the server. In turn, the server responds with an initial display data generated at the server for the reported user ID. The wireless client then displays this initial display data. Next, a user session for the user ID is processed at the server and displayed on the wireless client. In this embodiment, the wireless client has a capability of being shared by a plurality of different user IDs.
Moreover, the portable thin client (or thin client PDA) of the present invention may include smart card capabilities so that an enterprise (or business organization) can pool its PDAs with the users that need them. That is, a user can be provided with any thin client PDA on the enterprise's network on a need-to-use basis by inserting the user's smart card into the PDA to get the user's individual PDA configuration on that PDA. Furthermore, the concept of a shared PDA of the present invention can be expanded beyond the enterprise workplace (via a private network) to allow a user with an appropriately configured smart card to have access via the Internet to its own applications and environment by using any one of the pool of PDAs made available to the user.
A more complete understanding of the system and method for providing a portable thin client of the present invention will be afforded to those skilled in the art, as well as a realization of additional advantages and objects thereof, by a consideration of the following detailed description of the preferred embodiments. Reference will be made to the appended sheets of drawings which will first be described briefly.
The drawings illustrate the design and utility of preferred embodiments of the invention. The components in the drawings are not necessarily to scale, emphasis instead being placed upon illustrating the principles underlying the embodiment. Moreover, in the drawings like reference numerals designate corresponding parts throughout the different views.
The present invention provides a thin client network architecture to a personal digital assistant (PDA). In one embodiment of the invention, the PDA is described as a portable thin client (or the PDA functions as a thin client of a network). More specifically, the present invention employs a computer network architecture in which the portable thin client (or PDA) is a small, stateless, portable (e.g., wireless), "plug and work" computer whose main function is to process all input and output for the user, as well as to manage communication with at least one server. All other computational tasks (or services) for the user are performed on the at least one server which is shared amongst a community of thin clients. In the following detailed description, like element numerals are used to describe like elements illustrated in one or more drawings.
Referring to
More specifically, servers 30 communicate with thin clients 20 through network 40. The computational power and state maintenance are processed and maintained at servers 30. The computational power and state maintenance (i.e., the servers) is not tied to specific computers, but may be distributed over one or more traditional computers or traditional servers. One of the servers 30 may provide one or more services, or a service may be implemented by one or more servers 30. The services provided by servers 30 can be providing computation, state (or state maintenance), and data to clients 20 and the service is under the control of a common authority or manager. In
It is the responsibility of servers 30 to handle communications with a client 20 (e.g., 20 a, 20 b, and/or 20 c) that is currently being used to access a given service of servers 30. The responsibility of servers 30 includes taking the output from servers 30 and converting it to a standard protocol for the thin client 20. This data protocol conversion is handled in one exemplary embodiment by a middleware layer, such as the X server, the Microsoft Windows™ interface, a video format transcoder, the OpenGL interface, or a variant of the Java.awt.graphics class running within servers 30. The middleware layer handles the translation of data to and from servers 30 and the client 20.
In an exemplary embodiment, each service is provided by a server that has been optimized for providing that service. For example, an Enterprise class server could be used to provide a unit service, a Sun MediaCenter server could be used to provide video service, a Hydra based NT server could be used to provide applet program execution service, etc.
Referring still to
The network of the exemplary embodiment can include any of multiple suitable communication paths for carrying data between servers 30 and clients 20. In one embodiment the network is a local area network (LAN) implemented as an Ethernet network. Any other LAN may also be utilized. The present invention also contemplates the use of wide area networks, the Internet, and others. The network of the present invention may also be implemented with a physical medium such as a wire or fiber optic cable, or it may be implemented in a wireless environment.
In operation, the provision of services in a thin client architecture of an envisioned embodiment revolves around an abstraction referred to herein as a session. A session of the envisioned embodiment is a long-lived, persistent and reliable representation of those services (or applications) that are executing on behalf of a user at any point in time. Referring now to
Because the thin client or clients 120 of the present invention are stateless (i.e., devices that process information without any knowledge of previous/subsequent information), a user's session or user session 140 can be instantly sent to any thin client 120 (e.g., 120 a, 120 b, or 120 c) within the network system 100. That is, a user can be in the middle of a user session 140 (e.g., typing an e-mail message) on one thin client 120, move to another thin client 120 and then resume the same user session 140 (e.g., 140 a, 140 b, or 140 c) exactly where the user left off. Similarly, if a thin client 120 fails, a user can move from the failed thin client to another thin client without losing any work.
In addition, because a user is associated with its user session 140 (e.g., 140 a, 140 b, or 140 c), and that session 140 can be displayed on any thin client 120 that the user accesses (e.g., 120 a, 120 b, or 120 c), a server facility known as the authentication manager 150 is used for ensuring the legitimacy of the user and associating the user with its desired session 140. That is, initially a thin client 120 is in a sleep, stand-by, or off mode (or dormant state) when the thin client 120 is not in use by a user. When the user wants to use a particular thin client 120, an authentication exchange takes place that may include the use of one or more of a smart card 160, key, password, and/or biometric mechanism.
When the authentication manager 150 validates a user, it notifies the user's current session manager 130, which in turn notifies all of the services within the selected session 140, and the session's display is composed at the user's thin client 120 (e.g., at the display of the thin client). From within a session 140, a user can interact with existing services, initiate new services, or end executing services. When the user departs from the thin client 120 (e.g., by withdrawing a smart card 160), the authentication manager 150 notes this and notifies the session manager 130, which notifies all of its related services, which stop their display functions, and the thin client 120 (that the user was on) returns to the dormant state. The effect of the activation and deactivation of a thin client 120 is similar to turning off the display monitor on a conventional personal computer (PC). The application being displayed by the monitor (that has been turned off) is still available and is perhaps still executing on the PC, but no display is generated. However, unlike the conventional PC, one advantage of the present invention is that the user display can be accessed and displayed on any connected thin client 120.
Specifically, a user can access one or more sessions 140 by inserting a smart card 160 in a card reader (e.g., card reader 166) coupled to thin client 120 a. A smart card 160 can be a card that is capable of storing information such as in a magnetic strip or memory of the smart card. The smart card can store user information such as a user's identification (i.e., user ID, such as a 64-bit number) and a secret code (e.g., a 128-bit random number) that is transmitted to thin client 120 a. The secret code is used during authentication.
In the embodiment shown in
In one embodiment, authentication manager 150 responds to the startup request by initiating an authentication to validate the user. Authentication can include any mechanism that verifies the identity of the user to the system 100. A key or password known only to the user, or biometrics information, can be used to authenticate the user.
Authentication may alternatively or additionally be performed by verifying a personal identification number (PIN) entered by the user at thin client 120 a. Authentication manager 150 sends a command (i.e., a challenge command) to initiate entry of the user's PIN at thin client 120 a. The user entry is packaged by thin client 120 a and transmitted to authentication manager 150 (i.e., a challenge response). Authentication manager 150 verifies the challenge response with user information retained by authentication manager 150 (e.g., in an authentication database), information supplied by the user, and information that is generated during authentication. When the user is authenticated, the user is given access to a session (e.g., session 140 c) that is a persistent representation of a related set of one or more services executing on behalf of the user.
More specifically, if the user is authenticated, authentication manager 150 notifies session manager 130 (via a connect message) that the user has logged into the network system 100 on thin client 120 a. In response to the message from authentication manager 150, session manager 130 notifies the services in the user's current session (i.e., the services in session 140 c) that the user is attached to thin client 120 a. That is, session manager 130 sends a connect message to services to direct their output to thin client 120 a. Session manager 130 ensures that services that are considered to be required services of the session 140 c are executing. If not, session manager 130 causes them to be initiated. The user can then interact with the services within a session (e.g., session 140 c). Thin client 120 a is connected to servers (e.g., 30 in
The user can detach from the network system 100 by removing the card from card reader 166. Other mechanisms to express a disconnect can also be used with the invention (e.g., a "sign-off" button on thin client 120 a). The services of session 140 c can continue to run even after the user removes the card 160 from card reader 166. That is, a user's associated session 140 c and the services that comprise the session 140 c can continue in existence during the period that a user is unattached (e.g., logged off) from the system 100. When the user removes the card 160 from card reader 166, thin client 120 a notifies authentication manager 150 (e.g., via a disconnect message), which notifies session manager 130 (e.g., via a disconnect message). Session manager 130 then notifies the services of the session 140 c (e.g., via a disconnect message) which terminate their transmission of display commands to thin client 120 a. Services continue execution, however, during the time that the user is not logged onto a thin client 120 (e.g., 120 a, 120 b, or 120 c). The user can then log back in using the same or another client, such as network client 120 (e.g., 120 a, 120 b, or 120 c), connect to session 140 c and interact with the services of session 140 c.
Referring to
Portable thin client 205 further includes a video memory (e.g., video RAM 214), main memory (e.g., main RAM 115) and a persistent storage memory (e.g., ROM 212) that are all coupled to bi-directional system bus 218 along with keyboard 210 and/or stylus 211 and processor 213. The persistent storage may include both fixed and removable media, such as magnetic, optical or magnetic optical storage systems or any other available mass storage technology. Bus 218 may contain, for example, thirty-two (32) and/or sixty-four (64) address lines for addressing video RAM 214 or main RAM 215. Bus 218 also includes, for example, a 32- and/or 64-bit data bus for transferring data between and among the components, such as processor 213, main RAM 215, video RAM 214 and persistent storage memory 212. Alternatively, multiplex data/address lines may be used instead of separate data and address lines.
In one embodiment of the invention, processor 213 is a microprocessor, such as Motorola's Dragonball Multiprocessor without Interlocked Pipeline Stages (MIPS), Intel's X-Scale™ Processor or Hitachi's SH7709a, or a SPAR™ microprocessor from Sun Microsystems, Inc. However, any other suitable microprocessor may be utilized. The main RAM 215 can comprise of dynamic random access memory (DRAM); the video RAM 214 can comprise a dual-ported video random access memory; and the ROM 212 can comprise a Flash ROM.
Video RAM 214 can be used to drive a flat panel or liquid crystal display (LCD) 216, or any other suitable data presentation device. In addition, video RAM 214 can be coupled to a circuitry (not shown) that converts pixel data stored in video RAM 214 to a signal suitable for use by LCD 216. LCD 216 is a type of display suitable for displaying graphic images.
Portable thin client 205 also includes communication interface 220 coupled to bus 218. Communication interface 220 provides a two-way data communication coupling via a wireless port (or antenna) 221 to a wireless network 222. Communication interface 220 may comprise an integrated services digital network (ISDN) card, a modem, a radio frequency (RF) and power section (to handle power management and recharging, and also to deal with the hundreds of RF channels), and/or RF amplifiers to handle signals traveling to and from the RF port. Communication interface 220 is used to provide a data communication connection to the corresponding type of wireless line that comprises part of the wireless network 222.
Wireless network 222 is coupled to wireless server 224. Wireless server 224 is coupled to a plurality of servers 230 (e.g., file servers 30 a, application servers 30 b, web servers 30 c, client servers 30 d, switches 30 e, and/or storage 30 f shown in
In operation, portable thin client 205 can wirelessly send messages and receive data, including program code, through the network(s) (e.g., networks 222 and 226) and communication interface 220. The received program code may be executed by processor 213 as it is received, and/or stored in ROM 212 (e.g., a EPROM), or other non-volatile storage for later execution. In this manner, portable thin client 205 may obtain program code in the form of a carrier wave. The program or application code may be embodied in any form of computer program product. A computer program product comprises a medium configured to store or transport computer readable code, or in which computer readable code may be embedded. Some examples of computer program products are EPROMs, Flash memories, servers 230, and carrier waves.
More specifically, the servers 330 here communicate with PDA 320 through a LAN 340 (or a wired network), a wireless server 350, and a wireless network 360 (e.g., a 802.11 or a wireless fidelity or a Wi-Fi network). The computational power and state maintenance are processed and maintained at servers 330. Servers 330 include such servers as file servers, application servers, web servers, thin client servers, switches, and/or storage. It is important to note that servers 330 can also be providing data that comes from outside of the servers 330 shown in
It is the responsibility of servers 330 and wireless server 350 to handle communications with PDA 320 that is currently being used to access a given session of the servers 330. The responsibility of servers 330 includes taking the output from servers 330 and converting it to a wired protocol for transmission to wireless server 350 via LAN 340. Wireless server 350 takes the output in the wired protocol and converts it to a wireless protocol for transmission to PDA 320 via wireless network 360.
Specifically, and referring now also to
Input protocol 490 is also provided on the PDA's software stacks of an exemplary embodiment (or in PDA resident software 550). Input protocol 490 takes keyboard/stylus/smartcard "actions" via smart card/input drivers 500 and converts the "actions" into a TCP/IP packet 430 b which is sent back to the servers 330 as a user feedback to at least one of the services (or applications) running on at least one of the servers 330. In the context of the present embodiment, "action" does not mean that the PDA 320 sends back every stylus pixel movement as an individual network packet, instead the present "action" stands for the concept of the PDA 320 sending back a packet for things that need actioning from the server 330 (e.g., moving a cursor over tab and click). Particularly, for the present PDA 320, the input may be: data read off of an inputted smart card (e.g., via a smart card driver within smart card/input drivers 500), keys pressed, characters entered on a stylus of the PDA (or stylus clicks), and a smart card removed notification.
In an exemplary embodiment, at least one of the servers 330 runs a display manager (not shown) for each PDA. The display manager (similar to X-server or windows manger) communicates display data for the sessions (or applications) running on servers 330. The display manager creates the aggregated screen images from the communicated display data for the LCD of the PDA 320. In the present embodiment, the display manager is running on the server 330. The display manager can be used to create an overall display image from the applications running on servers 330. In addition, the display manager or an alternative display manager running on one or more servers 330 can be used to create an appropriate (or a customized) screen image for a specific LCD on the PDA 320 or on another PDA.
In a more specific embodiment, PDA applications 410 could be divided into: a Java Virtual Machine (JVM or JVM 410 a shown in
In the present embodiment and referring to
The computer systems described above are for purposes of example only. An embodiment of the invention may be implemented in and/or with any type of computer system or programming or processing environment. For example, an embodiment may be implemented with a virtual desktop system architecture that is described in co-pending U.S. patent application Ser. No. 09/063,335, filed Apr. 20, 1998, entitled "Method and Apparatus for Providing A Virtual Desktop System Architecture" and assigned to the present assignee, and incorporated herein by reference (including the attached appendix in the co-pending application).
In addition, referring now back to
Moreover, by reducing the function of portable thin client 205 into a well-defined, fixed set of behaviors, a user could start a session on a first portable thin client (e.g., a palm-sized computer with a keyboard 210 for input and 760�1024 pixel color LCD), then remove a smart card and place in a second (and different) portable thin client (e.g., a hand-held computer with a stylus for input and 256�256 pixel black and white LCD). That is, as long as an application writer running in wired servers 230 implements a Graphic User Interface (GUI) of the first and second thin clients correctly (i.e., sizes GUI to the LCD of the thin clients rather than a fixed size) it should provide the display in both clients of the session in the same state.
In general, and according to the foregoing,
Once the IP addresses of the PDA have been configured (and/or assigned), at step 730, the PDA reports its display capability to at least one of the servers on the network. At step 740, the PDA reports the user identifier (or user ID) of the inserted smart card. At step 750, the server responds with an initial display for the user ID (e.g., an authentication page). As discussed above (e.g., via a session manager 130 in
At step 760, the user removes the smart card from the PDA. Once the smart card has been removed from the PDA, at step 770, the PDA disconnects from the network and shuts down. In this embodiment, however, at step 780, the user session or sessions (including the session state or states) that were provided to the PDA are continually maintained at the servers. Accordingly, there is no data loss when the user is disconnected from the PDA or when the PDA is faulty. In addition, as a result of designing (or re-architecting) the PDA as a portable thin client, there is no need to download software (or application or applications) and the operating system(s) operating the software to the PDA because server—through the network—provides these services (e.g., the application services and/or the operating system services). Moreover, the present PDA does not have to be upgraded if an application upgrade is required or a new application is needed because the new or upgraded application can just be provided at the servers running the application and servicing the PDA.
Having described the preferred embodiments of the system and method of the portable thin client for the enterprise workspace, it should be apparent to those skilled in the art that certain advantages of the described system and method have been achieved. It should also be appreciated that various modifications, adaptations and alternative embodiments thereof may be made within the scope and spirit of the present invention.

Yes I would like to add to this companies record, these types of businesses shouldn't even be allowed. I am a disabled person who enjoy Star Trek Online. I save up my money for use in the game for about every three to four months. Now the first of October came around and it allowed me to add to my STO stash so I can indulge in one of my ways to distract myself from the pain of a botched operation. After I had purchased 320 dollars of their cards the Ultimate Game Card, I was unable to transfer money from their server to the company I wanted it to. So as of three days after I bought the cards, I have only been able to use 180 dollars. I have contacted PayByCash through their webpage over a day ago, still no response. On a side note however, the FIRST time this happened it was because the game was running a special bonus with the Ultimate Game Card, so you get free points online with each card. Well after waiting two days for again half of my money, I was happy just to get what I paid for. The bonus was not even a thought.

Jman's Journey LbNA # 38005 (ARCHIVED)
|Placed Date
|Feb 17 2008
|Conway, SC
AVAILABLE FOR A LIMITED TIME-- 2/16/08 through 3/8/08
This box does not have markers so please bring some.
The first letterbox that I ever found was the Warthog, located in Warbird Park, Myrtle Beach, SC. This was one year ago, 2/2007! I have planted a limited time letterbox in Warbird Park, in honor of the Warthog Letterbox, which is no longer there . It is too bad too, because the stamp was great. To find Jman's Journey, go to Warbird Park, on Farrow Parkway at South King's Highway, in Myrtle Beach, this is part of the old Air Force Base. Locate the drinking fountains. Follow the path that leads back toward the woods. Stop at the first swinging bench. Go to the back of the bench and put your back up up to the seat. Walk approximatley 25 paces toward a tree which has a hollowed out place at its base. The letterbox is in a LnL box, under leaves and sticks. As always be careful, and sneaky! Have fun!

I breed the English type Labradors and believe the Labrador
"can do it all"! The dogs I breed have all their appropriate health clearances and have been cleared for hip and elbow dysplasia from the Orthopedic Foundation for Animals (OFA); have been cleared
by a Canine Opthamologist for eye diseases; have had (or are
clear by parentage) for Exercise Induced Collapse (EIC);
Progressive Retinal Atrophy (PRA), and are Dilute-Free
(they do not contain the silver gene)!
I only breed the three accepted colors of Labradors:
Black, Chocolate & Yellow!
There is a website on the internet that is stating that I am a puppy mill. Please note that this is from a person Kevin & Nicole Settineri who is a Puppy Mill in Salisbury, NC. We (My Dad/I) purchased a Tamaskan dog "Neko" from them and we had to put him to sleep at 3-1/2 years of age due to severe epilepsy that could not be controlled with medication. He runs it under different names to disguise it to the public. He was previously called Right Puppy Kennel; Yadkin Wolf Den & Blustag USA (not the legitimate one), www.tamaskan.com, Loving Pup Resort and Spa, MyShiba.com and also started a fake kennel organization called Tamaskan Club of America to dupe potential buyers. I have been involved since 2009 in trying to shut them down. He has threatened me to take down the website that I have against him. He has also threatened to burn down my house! There are numerous complaints and lawsuits have been against him and his daughter, here are some details... He was served with warrants for 9 counts of felony charges for obtaining property by false pretenses. 1.) He sold sick puppies, 2.) He forged veterinarian health vaccination information for puppies, 3.) He lied about what type of dog he was selling (he shipped wolf hybrids to states they were illegal in), 4.) he does not care about his dogs and he does no health testing on them whatsoever prior to breeding them. 5) he has sold hundreds of dogs, 6.) numerous diseases and disorders, including: epilepsy, severe hip dysplasia and early death. Go to this site www.offa.org and type in any of his dogs names, they will not come up as being hip, elbow or patella tested for dysplasia, degenerative myelopathy, baer hearing tests like the other responsible Tamaskan breeders do & can be verified! Here is the online petition against him: www.change.org You can read all about them on my webpage against him (http://tamaskandogneko.weebly.com) &www.lorlynlabs1.wix.com/tamaskanwolfdog
http://www.wbtv.com/story/21252641/d s-sold-from-local-kennel-making-people-sick
https://www.wolfdog.org/forum/showthread.php? =21369
I put alot of hard work into researching pedigrees, extensive health testing, breeding, training, competing in both conformation & hunt tests with my dogs.
Thank you for dropping by!

Oportuna captura. Felicitaciones !!
Saludos cordiales,
A turnstone? Now I know! What a great shot, but he has picked a rather large stone for turning, I think!
Thank you for your visit Angel! What a beautiful country you live in!
Yes now we both know - Kyle had to tell me. Perhaps he thinks he is _superbird!
Ready to fly away! Lovely shot JF*!
Greetings from Holland, Ria
Thanks Ria!
Well it looks like my brother has been helping you out on the bird names. I don't know how he gets it all down, but he's really good.
I'm loving this shot, as I always to to your bird pics. :))
Warm regards, Kyle
He is truly amazing! I gave up looking at the shore birds and just posted a plea for help:)

Lemieux Confident of Stopping Rubio at The Bell Centre
By Richard Cloutier
At the final press conference in the Houston restaurant, located in the business district of Montreal, unbeaten middleweight David Lemieux (25-0) finally met face to face with his future rival, Mexican contender Marco Antonio Rubio (49-5).
"I know that Rubio is well prepared. He has a lot of experience and he hits hard, but so do I," said Lemieux. "I've been training since the age of nine-years-old for such a fight. In the gym, I met all kinds of boxers. Some who were punchers, guys that move, stylists - so I'm really ready. In fact, I'm in the best shape of my career."
"Just like Pavlik, he has a good left hook. He has a right uppercut, which is quite a weapon typically from a Mexican," said coach Marc Ramsay, who will be around the corner of David Lemieux, along with head coach Russ Anber. "David also has a very good uppercut. In fact, both have essentially the same arsenal, but I would say that David hits harder. "
Should we emphasize the importance of the Montreal circuit boxing markets around the world?
"This fight, if we had done it five years ago, it would have taken place in an arena much larger than where we are staging it on Friday," criticized coach Russ Anber. "It seems that boxing fans in Quebec are a bit spoiled. It's a fight that is quite extraordinary, where two real hitters will compete against each other. I know the quality of the opponent we have before us and the dangers that exist. I can assure you that David is the driving point and it will be a very exciting fight, in the fashion that David likes to deliver. "
It must be said that on March 19, Lucian Bute had his 7th defense of the IBF 168-pound title in Montreal, and that on May 21, Jean Pascal will again face Bernard Hopkins, while in co-feature Chad Dawson will face Adrian Diaconu.
The event promoter, Yvon Michel, also adds - "In 2006, boxing attracted nearly 10,000 people at Uniprix Stadium for Joachim Alcine for the WBA championship eliminator against Javier Mamani. The following year, it attracted many people for Hermann Ngoudjo against Randall Bailey. Today, we are privileged with boxing in Quebec. However, it is true that this fight is a bit more in the shade. After Friday, people will come running to watch the performances of David Lemieux. "
This playoff duel for WBC middleweight crown is taking place on Friday at the Bell Centre, and it will be broadcast on ESPN. Both boxers predict a knockout before the limit of twelve rounds.

Eyelet Dress
49.95 - 99.95 was(198) USDwhite
Whitney Pozgay first caught our attention with her happy-go-lucky take on fashion - vintage-inspired, clean-lined coordinates - but she really won us over when she agreed to create a capsule of petite styles exclusively for Anthropologie. A petite woman herself, she understands the challenges of dressing a smaller frame, nailing the delicate balance between proportion of silhouette and scale of print. We love this oh-so-fresh eyelet shift; for a pop of color, try adding a statement necklace.

Floyd: Nee Barnor
Diagnostic Medical Sonography (DMS3) (Fall 2014 & Prior Cohorts)
Offered at the Following Campus
- Floyd County Campus
Program Overview
The Diagnostic Medical Sonography Associate Degree program is a sequence of courses that provides educational opportunities to individuals in didactic and clinical environments that will enable them to gain skills, knowledge and attitudes necessary to graduate and become successful entry-level employees in the field of Diagnostic Medical Sonography. The profession requires critical thinking skills, judgment, and the ability to provide appropriate health care services. Sonographers use high frequency sound waves to produce dynamic visual pictures of internal body structures. The images are evaluated by physicians to make a medical diagnosis. Course work includes sonographic physics, sonographic identification of normal and abnormal anatomy, physiology, pathology, and pathophysiology of the abdomen, pelvis, and small parts of the adult, pediatric, and fetal patient, clinical application courses, interventional sonography, journal and case study review, and comprehensive registry reviews.
Accredited by Commission on Accreditation of Allied Health Education Programs (CAAHEP).
Entrance Dates: Beginning of any semester for pre-occupational curriculum. Fall semester for occupational curriculum.
Entrance Requirements
Age: 17 years old for entrance into Health Technology pre-occupational curriculum
18 years old for entrance into Health Technology programs
Course Overview
This course combines the didactic education of sectional anatomy with active student participation in classroom laboratory experience. Information is weighted toward normal structures which are sonographically visible. Structures are described according to relative location and proportionality. Topics include: normal sectional anatomy of the neck, liver, biliary system, pancreas, genitourinary tract, spleen, peritoneal cavity, retroperitoneum, gastrointestinal tract, and vascular system structures within the upper and lower extremity; anatomic planes related to sonographic images; sonographic appearance and sonographic patterns of structures in the female and male pelvis, neck, liver, biliary system, pancreas, peritoneum and retroperitoneum, gastrointestinal tract, non cardiac chest, and upper and low extremities; and related imaging, laboratory testing procedures and functional testing procedures.
Sonographers apply principles of ultrasound in the operation of medical sonographic equipment to produce a sonogram. Knowledge of the interaction of ultrasound with tissue is important for image optimization, acquisition and interpretation of sonographic images, and critical to the accurate diagnosis of disease. Introduces concepts for the factors involved with diagnostic ultrasound principles and instruments. Emphasis will be placed on ultrasound physics, transducer construction, operation and characteristics, artifacts and adjustable physics parameters. Topics include: basic principles and wave analysis; propagation of acoustic waves through tissues; principles of pulse echo imaging; sonographic transducers and sound beams; hemodynamic and Doppler imaging; sonographic instrumentation; artifacts; quality assurance/quality control of sonographic instruments; bioeffects and safety. Student laboratory scanning hours are included in this course.
This course combines the didactic education of normal and abnormal abdominal with active student participation in classroom laboratory experience. Introduces advanced abdominal anatomy, sonographic appearance and procedures, pathology and pathophysiology for diagnostic medical sonography. Topics include: embryology; anatomy; protocols for all organs and organ systems of the abdomen and non-cardiac chest; variants of normal and congenital anomalies; function of organ and organ systems; patient history and indications for examination; scanning techniques; normal sonographic appearance; pathology and pathophysiology; related imaging and functional testing results; normal and abnormal Doppler and color flow characteristics.
Provides students with a more detailed introduction into the hospital, clinic or other patient care setting work experience. This course covers the control of the physical parameters of the sonography unit and application of sonographic physics as it relates to image quality. Sonographic examinations are conducted under direct and indirect supervision. Topics include: oral and written communication; provide basic patient care; equipment manipulation for optimum image resolution; ergonomically correct scanning techniques; perform basic sonographic examinations of normal and abnormal abdominal anatomy and superficial structures; related imaging procedures and relevant laboratory findings; students must demonstrate progression of knowledge and scanning skills during this clinical rotation.
This course introduces gynecology physiology, pathology, and pathophysiology along with normal and abnormal embryonic and fetal development during the first trimester using diagnostic medical sonography. Topics include: the role of the sonographer in obstetric imaging; antepartum obstetric sonography evaluation; Doppler imaging for the obstetric patient; significant laboratory values in early pregnancy; anatomy, physiology, pathology and pathophysiology of the female pelvis; gynecologic patient care and imaging techniques; clinical assessment of obstetrical patient; normal first trimester; uterine and extrauterine assessment during the first trimester; first trimester complications; prudent use; and performance standards and documentation.
This course is designed as an introduction into the field of vascular sonography. The general practitioner will be required to perform venous examinations of the lower extremity, arterial studies of the neck, and some Doppler studies within the abdomen. Emphasis is on the functional workings and settings associated with Doppler signals and waveforms. Topics include: machine/image settings for Doppler imaging; venous imaging of the lower extremities; arterial imaging of the neck; and vascular imaging of the abdomen, including aorta and its primary branches, vena cava, portal and hepatic veins, and renal arteries and veins.
This course provides students with three independent areas of concentration. They are High Resolution Sonography, Interventional Sonography and Pediatric Sonography. I. High Resolution Sonography introduces superficial structure anatomy, pathology and procedures for diagnostic medical sonography. II. Interventional Sonography this course provides instruction in sonographic procedures which are considered invasive and/or require sterile procedures. III. Pediatric Sonography provides the sonography student with specialized imaging procedures for the pediatric patient. Topics include: Intervention Sonographyuse of sonography in interventional procedures, transducer care, infection control, response to medical emergencies, contrast media, and organ transplant; High Resolution Sonographycontrast media, and organ transplant; High Resolution Imaginganatomy and normal variants, function and physiology, indications for examination, sonographic imaging, pathology and pathophysiology, correlative and prior imaging, pertinent lab values; Pediatric Sonographyembryology, anatomy and normal variants, function and physiology, indications for examination, sonographic imaging, and pathology and pathophysiology.
Provides a culminating work experience in the hospital, clinic or other patient care setting for students to improve skills in performing procedures introduced during prior clinical and didactic courses to the level of an entry-level sonographer. Topics include: refinement of equipment manipulation techniques, performance of sonographic examinations as an entry-level sonographer, role of the sonographer in performing interventional/invasive procedures, and completion of necessary competency requirements for graduation.

Please criticize as much as possible..:)
It's simple, I like the overall cleanliness.
I have 2 suggestions though. Your background image goes from blue to light blue and then abruptly cuts to white as the image is finished. You can get around that issue by doing some simple reading in CSS tutorials on how to make the background image static, so the page would scroll, but the image would not. Also, the header title is OK but it would greatly benefit from something a little more complexe, not too much though as it would clash with the overall esthetics of your layout.
Hiya..nice website :)specially the photo section is very attractive as well the content and information given in the site are very clear and useful. But there are many drawbacks too like the web pages has lot of scroll. The contact form can be given with a heading of different color so that it gets highlighted. At some places you have placed the form at the extreme end of the page so you can place it in the right hand side of the page making it visible to the readers. So you see these are certain things through which you can make your site more better.
Hope this helps :)
Thanks so much guys. I truly appreciate the feedback. I always wondered about the background. How do you make the background image static, so the page would scroll, but the image would not?
feel free to add any additional feedback..:)
I think there's too much white space and the text logo needs to look better
There are a ton of tutorials on CSS. Here is a simple one strictly on fixed background: http://www.depiction.net/tutorials/css/fixedbackground.php
Thanks everyone. I ended up making the following changes:
# Reduced the with of the website to 880 px
# Added a little description in the logo
# Got rid of the background
# Changed the color of the text in the widget area.
What do you think? Still look amateurish or do I like simple too much...;)
any feedback is appreciated...:)
It looks better than before. :)
If you were to change only one more thing, maybe change the font color of the header image to a color used somewhere else on your site like purple.

I will respect Trey Herschap's desire that I do not reveal whether or not Homeaway has refunded the $800 paid for my advertisement. But what I will say is that dealing with staff at the company in the UK and the US has been a truly depressing experience. They refused initially to remove an obvious libel. They refused to refund my subscription saying that I had cancelled it myself. They demanded that I sign a horrible legal waiver, which could have placed all subsequent legal costs at my expense.
Potential advertisers will assess for themselves whether paying for an advertisement on a website which permits malicious and contradictory comments that are completely unfounded is a worthwhile investment. Maybe Brian Sharples should ponder this also, without recourse to his staff?

In 2011, a small group of audiovisual archiving graduate students, professionals, and academics were inspired to action by the rise of the Occupy Wall Street Movement in Zuccotti Park. Concerned about the fate of the evidentiary material appearing on YouTube and other social media sites, Activist Archivists aimed to support the movement's efforts to protect and preserve its content. As this need for open and publically accessible archival resources became more and more apparent to us, our mission evolved to include everyone struggling to safeguard audiovisual material, be it a small organization, a family, an artist, or an activist.
This led to some fruitful collaborations, particularly with Occupy Wall Street Archives Working Group, Internet Archive, and Third World Newsreel, the latter who helped us mount the first "Home Video Day," at DCTV in New York City, March 2014. That event, geared toward community engagement and celebration of all individuals documenting their own narrative, was a fitting culmination of what we initially strove to achieve.
With our founders scattered across the country, their lives blessedly filled with careers, families, and other projects, Activist Archivists has failed to remain…active. The momentum that inspired Activist Archivists into existence has moved onward and blossomed in multiple directions, with current and former members channeling their passion for community archiving into other efforts – XFR Collective, WITNESS, Community Archiving Workshop, and Interference Archive to name a few.
Soon, this website and its contents will only exist on the Internet Archive's Wayback Machine; our Google Group has been opened to the public and will be left unattended. The Twitter feed and Facebook page will remain active at this time, disseminating information about community and activist archiving activities, and as a hub for networking with those interested in similar issues.
Thank you to everyone who has supported Activist Archivists over the past four years, who have dedicated their time and talents towards developing a culture of archiving that is accessible by everyone.

how is this game?
any idea of difficulty and time to get 1000?
Easy for cheevos, not fun at all though....
I enjoy it
I like the game, its a fun lil fighter with nice decapitation finishers BUT.... arcade on medium is harder than chinese algebra. If you have the patience youll get the chevos or knaw your wrists trying.
every achievement is practically easy, but for the Legendary Hieropath, Beat arcade on Max dificulty with every character.
other than that is easy.
you guys know how to post an achievement guide? i want to make one about this game, i think i can make it cool and i know some "easy" ways to beat expert with everyone.
Would be great to get a guide. I am currently going through on expert for everyone so any help will be really appreciated.
so anyone knows how to post an achievement guide? or should i post it in this forums from the game?
I think just post it here in the forums. The mods can always change or fix it.
Thanks man. that will be awesome.
thanks, RA1NKING i already made an achievement guide for the game, i hope it can help some people.
the game is good, yes its hard, but thats what makes it special, also you can die with 2-3 hits, so you have to know when to attack and when to block or dodge.
as for the cheevos theire not that hard but for the legendary hierophant other than that they are time consuming

Satin-Lined Velvet Pouch
Overall Rating:
Customer Reviews
Rated 4.5 out of 5Â by 4 reviewers.
Rated 4 out of 5Â by TXnCutie82 good, but not incredible this works great for overnight trips, but many of my necklaces don't easily fit (some bulky statement necklaces or long, multiple strands of pearls). Occasionally, earrings will snag the satin, but on the whole it works well. I ended up getting the Velvet Jewelry Roll that I use more often because I feel it keeps things more organized and holds more. December 7, 2015
Rated 5 out of 5Â by VandGal Great product for jewelry storage This is a great product for jewelry storage - soft, lightweight. A little too small for multiple necklaces, but it works well for earrings, rings and bracelets. December 4, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5Â by Marthastew Excellent for presentations It may seem macabre, but I was given several small packets of my mother's ashes to send to relatives across the country. Instead of using the mediocre velvet bag with a funeral home's advertisement stamped on it, I purchased these with a choice of colors to give the cremains a more distinguished presentation. Hopefully I won't have to do this again too soon, but I wanted to throw that option out there for others with a similar need. September 10, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5Â by Michel1 spruces up a gift Buy a dozen of these to use for gifts and it makes it that much more special. I think these are primarily for jewelry but can be used for lingerie, chocolate, I have even put a coffee cup in one. They have different color liners so if you do use them for jewelry at home, you can tell them apart. March 22, 2012

FRANKFURT, Ky. (WKYT) - The board is voting to adopt the Next Generation Science Standards, which teach about global warming.
One of the proposed changes in those standards includes climate change. But that proposal is drawing some controversy.
Among those opposing the proposal is State Senator Mike Wilson, the Chairman of the Senate Education Committee. He recently wrote an opinion piece in the Courier-Journal saying too much is unknown about global warming to begin teaching it in schools.
Board commissioners say the new teaching standards don't have anything to do with politics or religion, just added facts about science.
"We're not asking students to believe in climate change, we're just asking them to understand the science behind climate change. The other issue is evolution, and again, were not asking students to change their beliefs," says Terry Holliday, Commissioner of Education.
Nearly 4,000 supporters have already signed an online petition in favor of the new standards.
The board is expected to vote on the Next Generation Science Standards Wednesday afternoon.
