"Good." He gave her a crooked grin as he stopped again. Before she could ask what he was doing, he swept her up in his arms, and began to walk again, carrying her bridal-style.
She looked up at him, a shocked look on her face. "What...?" She laughed. "What's this for?"
"I'm an impulsive person." He shrugged.
"I...I like it." She smiled, finding that her breath had been taken away.
"Well that's good," he grinned, "because I don't think it's gonna change any time soon."
"Well." She paused, finding nothing to say she just continued smiling, resting her head on his chest. When they got back to the apartments, he refused to put her down, carrying her up the stairs all the way to his door. "Lazarus. You can put me down you know." She giggled.
"Well I have to now, I need to unlock my door," he laughed.
"Good." She laughed with him, wobbling a bit as she found her feet again. He kissed her swiftly as he unlocked to door and then ushered her in. She stepped into the room, looking at him with a smile. "Well. We still have a few hours to kill." She sighed.
"What do you suggest we do?"
She shrugged simply. "I don't know." She laughed. "What do you want to do?"
"I don't mind. Since I usually seem to choose, you can choose this time."
"I thought you didn't like me taking control?" She said bemused, "well, I chose to go out."
"I was joking." He looked at her and then added, "About you taking control." He added.
"You still want me to make a decision?"
"If you want."
"I don't know." She sighed, falling back so she sat on his piano stool.
"You don't have to choose, I just thought you'd like to do something less depressing than visiting a graveyard."
"Like what?" She asked, "Plus you know why I did that." She scowled.
"I don't know what, that's why I'm asking you. And yes, I do know why you did that, but it can't have been much fun for you."
"I hate graveyards but I was willing to sacrifice." She thought for a moment, then got up, wrapping her arms around him. "That's all I want." She smiled.
"Hmm. Are you sure about that?"
"Hmm?" She asked, puzzled.
"Isn't there anything else you want?"
"Like?" She asked then thought for a while. "Nothing I can't live without."
"If you say so." He laughed.
"Why, what?" She moaned, curious.
"Well I was just thinking we..." he trailed off and shook his head. "No. It's okay. Never mind." he smiled. "I'm hungry."
She placed a hand on his shoulder. "What?" She asked. "Tell me."
"Nothing, nothing," he grinned and moved to the kitchen, looking for something edible.
She narrowed her eyes toward him. "Tell me." She whined, annoyed.
"Do you think this is still safe to eat?" He asked, holding up a pizza.
"To be honest I wouldn't trust anything in that fridge." She shook her head. "No! Don't change the subject."
"Surely if I cook it long enough it would kill the bacteria? It's not gone green yet..." he looked at it thoughtfully for a minute before ripping the packaging off and shoving it in the oven.
She shrugged and growled "whatever." She muttered, annoyed. He grinned at her, the crooked smile coming back.
She held her head in her hands and glanced up to see his smile."What?" She whined.
"You." He smothered his laughter, knowing he was winding her up. She waved her hand, as if dismissing him. "I love you." He growled playfully as he put his arms around her. She waved her hand again; her head still face down in her hands. "I'm amazed you couldn't guess what I was going to say, to be honest."
She shrugged and sighed. "What?"
"Think about it." He smiled, Melissa's eyes widened with understanding and she nodded, a slight blush appearing on her cheeks. "But I've annoyed you now."
She sighed, "mmm."
"I'm sorry." He looked at her, his eyes wide, imitating a puppy, "forgive me?"
"I forgive you." She smiled, wrapping her arms around him. "That is gonna be one of my biggest weaknesses." She laughed.
"You shouldn't have said that." He winked and looked up, suddenly realising the pizza smelt of burning. "Bugger."
She giggled as he frantically ran towards the oven and switched it off. "The bacteria have gone now." She joked.
"It's edible," he said as he pulled it out onto a plate. He looked at the blackened crust. "Kinda."
"Moments like that make me thank God that I don't have to eat it." She laughed.
"Yeah, we wouldn't want that would we?"
"Nope." He grinned as he began to eat the half-burnt pizza.
She sat and watched him in a sort of awe as he wolfed down the pizza. Then let out a giggle as he finished it. "I'm surprised you don't get fat. I mean, you hardly get any exercise." She laughed as he put the plate in the washing up.
"The wolf burns up a lot of calories. High metabolism." He shrugged
She giggled. "Yeah. Right."
"You know how skinny I am."
"Yeah, but I think it's all the heavy lifting you've been doing." She giggled wrapping her arms around him from the back.
"What heavy lifting?" He grinned. "You're not heavy."
"Really?" She asked, unsure. "I wouldn't know. I've never picked myself up."
"No, not to me anyways. To me you're... I dunno, not lifted much else recently to compare you with."
"Hmm, that's good. I'd hate to think of some of the things you would compare me to."
"A bag of sugar?" He winked. "I'm not allowed to call you sweet, though."
"Hmm, no you can call me sweet just not sweetie." She laughed turning him round in her arms.
"You're very sweet. Like... hmm. Like the richest chocolate?"
"Hmm, I suppose it's better than tasting like chocolate." She laughed, "sorry. I couldn't think of anything else to compare it too."
"Why are you sorry? At least you didn't say I'm like burnt pizza."
"I've never eaten pizza before. But I'm sure you don't."
"I'd say you could try some, but I just ate it all."
"I can't eat human food. Makes me... ill."
"How so?"
"When I got turned, it shut down my system. If I eat, it umm...I can't swallow, so I become sick." She grimaced.
"Oh... you could lick it. You'd still taste it." He laughed
"I'm not a dog." She laughed. Then paused, "sorry."
"Careful of the dog's feelings... sweetie." He smirked at her.
She kissed him firmly. "Fine. I'll give you that."
"Why thank you." His grin widened.
"Never again though, hmm?" She growled playfully.
"Depends on what you call me,"
"Angel or..." She paused backing away from him with a grin. "dog?"
"I like angel. Dog? Not so much.''
"Hmm, well angel then." She smiled, walking back into his arms. "I love you my angel."
"I love you too. Still not got a nick name for you though."
"Do I need one?"
"Well I have one. But I can leave you nickname-less if you like."
"What is it?" She asked, her eyes lighting up with curiosity
He grinned. "You won't like it."
"Go on." She said, her eyes dimming.
"Well I liked sweetie. But I was thinking petal. From a rose."
"If you like." She sighed. "It's better than the rest."
"I won't, I knew you wouldn't like it."
She kissed him. "I...I like roses. So, I love it." She smiled, skilfully concealing the lie behind her lips.
"Hmm. Well, petal, would you believe that I'm still hungry?"
"Hmm, not really." She laughed. "I mean pizza isn't exactly filling."
"It's mostly carbs, it should be."
"Well, I still wouldn't trust anything in your fridge." She shrugged
"Well your food is still in there, but I'm not gonna eat that. Maybe a quick trip to the shops."
"Hmm, sure. Do you have any books or anything?" She asked.
"I don't know. There might be something under the bed. I don't read much."
"Hmm. Okay."
"Would you like me to pick you up a book at the shop? They have a bestseller section somewhere."
"No." She smiled. "It's probably all vampire fiction anyway. Would you like me to go with you?"
"Then it would give you a good laugh. Sure, why not?"
"Hmm, yeah reading about how humans think you live. Funny." She sighed. "And I don't see a reason why not."
"Well I think the last book I read was a werewolf book. It made /me/ laugh. But maybe that was the alcohol." He shrugged. "C'mon."
She grabbed his hand. "By the way, I was thinking. You can take the dominance in our relationship." She smiled as they walked down the stairs. Lazarus waited until they got to the bottom of the stairs before he spoke.
"What made you think that?"
"Well. I just, I've had a taste. And I don't like it." She giggled. "That was a horrible metaphor."
"Yes it was," he laughed. "Why didn't you like it?"
She shrugged. "I hate being bossy."
"I'm not much good at it either." He chuckled.
"Well, I just..." She started before her tone dropped. "I like to feel protected..." She muttered.
He grinned and wrapped an arm around her. "I can do that."
She looked up and smiled. "Thank you."
"Not a problem."
Her eyes softened and she fought back the urge to jump into his arms. "I love you." She whispered.
"I love you too."
She stopped him and then looked him in the eyes, standing in front of him. "Oh what the hell." She sighed, rolling her eyes before jumping towards him, wrapping her arms round his neck, supporting her own weight.
He laughed and caught her in his arms. 'You like me carrying you then?'
"I don't care about that, I just like being close to you." She smiled, kissing him passionately on the lips; she didn't care where she was.
"I like being close to you, too." He matched her smile and her kiss. "But I can't carry you around the shop, I'm afraid."
"Oh no. You can put me down. I just..." She smiled, blushing slightly. "Heh, you really can put me down. If you want."
"When we get to the shop." He said, kissing the top of her head.
She blushed harder and smiled, closing her eyes as he kissed her. "But by then. I won't want to let you go."
"Ahh, you'll survive ten minutes." He grinned.
"Maybe." She shrugged.
"Maybe? Maybe I'll carry you around the shop then. You can grab stuff off the shelves for me."
"No! Unless you want me to permanently turn red!"
"Red is better than not surviving." He tried not to laugh.
"Oh no, I will survive." She said forcing a fake grin to her lips as she tried to stop the blushing.
"Don't lie." He winked.
"I'm not!" She blushed.
"I'm not..." She whined, still lying.
"I'll put you down."
"No!" She protested. "Oh... okay." She sighed, giving up.
"Gonna stop fibbing then?" He laughed
"But I don't want to admit that I won't survive without you." She paused. "I can't live without you." She cried, tucking her head down into her chest.
"You just admitted it." He smiled gently and tightened his arms around her.
"I know." She sighed. "I...I try, to live, not be so clingy. You know? But I can't, it's like I'm living a lie. I don't want to."
"No point living a lie." He said.
"Yeah. But I don't want to be so clingy either."
"I'm sure we'll come to a balance we both like quick enough."
"Oh." She muttered. "I hope so."
"I'm not complaining that a woman as gorgeous as you wants to be all over me." He winked.
"Heh." She mumbled, the blush still not disappearing from her cheeks. "Thanks I guess."
As they reached the shop, Lazarus paused. "What ya gonna do?" He asked teasingly. "Be my hands? Or shall I put you down?"
"Put me down." She mumbled. "I think I might wait outside though. See if I can regain my original colour."
"Ohh, but I like the blush. Remember? Cute."
"Remember? Embarrassing."
"Cute! But I'll leave you out here if you really want." He gently placed her back on her feet, holding her as she re-gained her footing.
She looked to him. "Just hurry up." She smiled, covering her cheeks with both hands.
He put her down and nodded. "I'll be quicker than lightening." He said, walking inside and began to grab more frozen meals. As he began to pay for them Melissa's blush still failed to disappear from all the wolf-whistles she got. When Lazarus re-appeared she instantly kissed him which stopped the whistles. "Let's go." She blushed.
"I told you you'd get wolf whistles dressed like that. I'm the only wolf round here that's allowed to whistle," he grabbed her hand, the other busy holding the bag of food.
"Yeah, maybe I should start to wear more." She sighed.
"Hey, I'm not complaining about what you wear. Just the fact that other people are allowed to look and enjoy it. I want to be the only one allowed to enjoy it." he laughed.
"Then maybe I should only wear stuff like this around you?"
"Oh and what would you wear otherwise?" He raised an eyebrow.
"I have other clothes." She rolled her eyes looking at him. "Around you however? Depends what you want me to wear." She giggled.
"You can wear what you like. I'm not gonna be that dominant." He said
She laughed. "Yeah. That would be too far. It was a joke though." She murmured.
He nodded, smiling. "You can wear what you like, Melissa. Even outside, around others. Though I meant what I said; I'd like you all to myself." He laughed, knowing just how greedy he sounded.
"You know you already have me." She noted. "There isn't any more I can give you."
He nodded again, "You can give me a slap, when I'm being stupid?" He chuckled.
She slapped him. "That was for being stupid."
"Ow." He muttered, but smiled anyway "I may come to regret telling you that."
She kissed his cheek softly where she had slapped him. "Aww, I'll find some way of making it up to you." She laughed. "I forget my strength sometimes."
"How can you forget, you've had it four hundred years." He grumbled, pouting.
She shook her head. "No I haven't remember? I've only just started to drink the necessary blood."
"Oh yeah. Sorry."
"It's fine." She laughed. "Aren't you glad I'm on your side?"
"I'm not used to using my vampiric powers but..." She paused, picking Lazarus up in her arms. "I tire of walking."
His eyes widened at the sudden role reversal. "Well this is new to me." She laughed again and began to run to the apartment block, taking but a second to get there and up the stairs. She paused, putting him down at his door. He blinked and regained his balance as she set him down. "Very weird."
"No need."
"I just wanted to get home. That's all." She shrugged as he unlocked the door, ushering her inside first. She walked inside, shortly followed by him.
"Oh? Impatient for something, are we?" She looked at him and shrugged, leaning herself back on the wall she stopped her breathing, the blush disappearing from her cheeks as she started it back up again.
"I've turned you into a sex maniac," he said jestingly as he shook his head, pulling items out of the bag
"What!?" She gasped, looking at him. "Will you stop hinting things like that?" She blushed again and then got annoyed because she had only just got rid of it. He laughed as he pulled the packaging off another pizza, shoving it in the oven. She folded her arms and huffed, her back still against the wall. "Then I vow never to speak of it, let alone do it, ever again." She spoke with a very serious tone.
"I'd like to see how long that lasts."
"Fine. I never go back on my word." She noted.
"We'll see about that," he muttered, sitting down in front of the oven, watching his pizza this time.
"It's almost done." She sighed.
"What are you sighing for? I'm the one facing a sexless marriage, here."
"What, and that's all you care about?" She asked softly.
He rolled his eyes. "No. I'm joking."
"Right." She nodded. "You're gonna let it burn again."
"Do you think that sex is all I care about, Melissa?" He asked, looking up at her, ignoring that the pizza was slowly blackening.
"I think you should care if you burn the apartment down." She spoke in a soft monotone.
He reached up and turned the oven off, but didn't take the pizza out. Instead he got up and walked towards Melissa where she stood, leaning against the wall. He put a hand on the wall next to her shoulder and leaned forward, using his hand to support him. His eyes searched hers, a serious frown appearing on his face. "I love you for you, Melissa. Not for what you give me. Don't forget that."
She moved her head from his gaze. "I won't." She vowed.
"Then why can't you look me in the eye when you say that?" He asked unhappily.
She moved her head so she could look up into his eyes. "I won't."
He stayed there, holding her eye contact a moment longer, before nodding and moving away with a sigh."Sorry,"
She held her arms still folded against her chest, her hands balling into fists. "For?" She asked, her voice still remaining soft.
"I have more mood swings than a pregnant woman." He said, pulling the pizza out.
Melissa looked to the floor. "Yeah." She nodded. He sat down on what was left of the sofa with his pizza, but he didn't eat it. "What's up?" She asked. Her voice didn't rise or fall. Her
He sighed and put the pizza on the floor, stretching out across the sofa as he lay down. "Me."
"What?" She asked, lifting her head so she looked at him, but not in the eye.
"I managed to ruin a perfectly good evening. Again."
"No. You didn't. I'm fine." She said, pushing a smile onto her face. The way he had held her up against the wall, almost exactly like James did.
"No, I pissed you off. I'm sorry."
"No. I'm not." She shook her head. "You just... scared me slightly."
"Scared you?"
"Yeah. You reminded me of James; when he held me against the wall." She murmured. The snap change in personality was also similar between them. Lazarus swore and closed his eyes, cursing himself.
"It's fine. Really."
"No, it's not."
"Why isn't it?"
"It's just not," he half shrugged, picking the pizza up off the floor, placing the plate on his belly. He stared at it, beginning to pick it apart.
She walked toward him, taking the plate of his stomach and placing it on the table. She replaced the plate with herself and stared into his eyes. "It's. Fine." She stated, placing both hands on his chest for balance.
He looked up at her, and then at the little bits of pizza between his fingers. "Hmm." He put the bits of pizza in his mouth and swallowed them, before reaching his arms up and wrapping Melissa in them.
She fell to his chest under his embrace and sighed. "Believe me, okay?"
He nodded and hugged her silently, just taking comfort from her closeness.
She smiled and then wrapped her own arms around him, hooking them round his waist. "See. I told you it's nice just to be close to the one you love." She whispered.
"Yeah." He said quietly. "Yeah it is." Melissa smiled in reply, placing her head sideways on his chest she didn't realise how comfy she was and soon, before she even knew it she found herself asleep. Her arms still tightly wound around his waist.

Good results
After a month of daily use, my nasal drainage is decreased, and less yellow, and I think my breath is better as a result. Tastes good, works well. I'll continue it and if the drainage clears completely I will up my rating to 5 stars.
Formula has changed, not as good

They changed the formula so it is different than what it says here. They added cranberry and other additives such as magnesium hydroxide, maltodextrin, malic acid, tricalcium phosphate, silica. It doesn't taste as good as it used to, which is a shame

So these take a good amount of time to dissolve and are large unlike some other brand I bought Makes my mouth feel better (Xylitol on its own has this effect, a soothing effect). I have had some beginnings of gingivitis, and also have damaged my gums due oral tobacco, so I think any help is worthwhile. I have also noticed better breath. Perhaps it has helped with colds, and perhaps other things, but it is a bit hard to pinpoint for me. Minor minus is if you suck on these too fast, or chew them, and intent to talk right after it can make you cough. Just something to keep in mind.

Victor Hugo Quotes About JoyQuotes about: Joy
As we have said, robust souls are sometimes almost, but not entirely, overthrown by strokes of misfortune....Despair has steps leading upward. From total depression we rise to despondency, from despondency to affliction, from affliction to melancholy. Melancholy is a twilight state in which suffering transmutes into a somber joy....Melancholy is the enjoyment of being sad.
The poor man shuddered, overflowed with an angelic joy; he declared in his transport that this would last through life; he said to himself that he really had not suffered enough to deserve such radiant happiness, and he thanked God, in the depths of his soul, for having permitted that he, a miserable man, should be so loved by this innocent being.
...The girls chirped and chatted like uncaged warblers. They were delirious with joy... Intoxications of life's morning! Enchanted years! The wing of a dragonfly trembles! Oh, reader, whoever you may be, do you have such memories? Have you walked in the underbrush, pushing aside branches for the charming head behind you? Have you slid laughing, down some slope wet with rain, with the woman you loved?

During 2001 the group sold its UK retail carrier bag operation, based in Derbyshire, and its specialist carrier bag businesses, based in Lancashire. It also fought off a hostile takeover bid from packaging company Macfarlane in 2000. BPI is cutting the number of executives on its main board from seven to five, it announced.
During 2001 the group's stretchwrap business, which produces packaging for silage and other products, suffered from both the foot-and-mouth outbreak and the weak euro.
However, BPI said that confidence did seem to be returning to the agricultural community and that the business was now well positioned to benefit from a recovery.
Its other businesses had performed well, it said. After the sale of its retail carrier bag business it converted its factory in Heanor, Derbyshire, to produce refuge sacks, sales of which have reached more 30m sacks a week.
Overall pre-tax profits for the year were £16m, compared with a loss of £24.6m the previous year when figures were hit by write-offs. Turnover was down slightly at £386.5m from £434.6m in 2000. The total dividend will remain at 21p a share.

This invention relates to a file retrieval apparatus and method for finding a desired file from a plurality of files.
In a general operating system (OS), file management is made such that a user himself/herself generates tree-structured directories and arbitrarily stores a file in a desired directory. In this file management system, the user stores files containing the same subject matter for him/her in one directory as a file group, and makes the directory have hierarchical structure. This helps the user to perform retrieval of files.
In a recent data base system, a user sets a keyword with respect to an object file, and uses the keyword for retrieving the file. In this system, each file has its file name and one or more keywords. The user designates one or plural keywords, which may be included in the object file, in the form of logical operation. A retrieval device displays files corresponding to the logical operation of one or a plurality of keywords. If the object file is in the displayed files, the user designates the object file and thus performs file retrieval.
On the other hand, there exists a retrieval device for retrieval using hierarchical-structured keyword. In this device, keywords have a hierarchical structure by adopting a tree structure, similar to a directory structure of a general OS. The tree-structured keywords are displayed by display means. An operator uses the displayed tree-structured keywords to perform retrieval. Further, the device can edit the hierarchical structure of keywords by providing hierarchical-structure editing means.
In the conventional retrieval device, in a case where retrieval is made by using hierarchical-structured keywords having a structure as shown in FIG. 5, a keyword "car" which is designated by the user is developed into: ##EQU1## Then, files having keywords "car, special-purpose vehicle, ambulance, patrol car, private use car" are displayed as retrieval results.
However, in the conventional file management system in OS, there is only one retrieval path for retrieving a file stored in a storage medium. If a user wants to treat a file with a plurality of aspects, this kind of file management system is inconvenient. That is, within the hierarchical structure generated in accordance with the user's intention, if one file has a plurality of meanings to a user, retrieval of that file should be made from a plural portions of a hierarchical structure. However, in the conventional file management system, such retrieval is impossible.
Further, in recent data-base retrieval using a keyword, a plurality of keywords are added to one file so as to give a plurality of meanings to the file. However, there is a problem that a user cannot form a hierarchical structure of keywords in accordance with his/her intended meanings, and cannot use such hierarchical structure for retrieval.
Furthermore, in a retrieval method of the conventional retrieval device using hierarchical-structured keywords, the retrieval point becomes out of focus because the retrieval range is too wide. A user may fail to find a desired file quickly even when he/she refers to a list of retrieved files.
The present invention has been made in consideration of the above problems and has its object to provide a file retrieval apparatus and method capable of quickly finding a desired file out of a plurality of files.
The above object is attained by providing a retrieval apparatus for retrieving a desired file from a plurality of files stored in a storage medium, comprising:
means for adding keywords with respect to the plurality of files;
means for storing correspondence information between the plurality of files and the keywords;
means for storing attribute information of the keywords;
retrieval means for retrieving a file which corresponds to a keyword inputted in a predetermined input operation by referring to the correspondence information and the attribute information; and
display means for displaying results from retrieval by the retrieval means.
Other objects and advantages besides those discussed above shall be apparent to those skilled in the art from the description of a preferred embodiment of the invention which follows. In the description, reference is made to accompanying drawings, which form a part thereof, and which illustrate an example of the invention. Such example, however, is not exhaustive of the various embodiments of the invention, and therefore reference is made to the claims which follow the description for determining the scope of the invention.
The accompanying drawings, which are incorporated in and constitute a part of the specification, illustrate embodiments of the invention and, together with the description, serve to explain the principles of the invention.
FIG. 1 is a block diagram showing the hardware construction of a retrieval apparatus according to an embodiment of the present invention;
FIG. 2 is a block diagram showing the logical construction of the retrieval apparatus of the embodiment;
FIG. 3 is an example of user interface of keyword display & designation unit of the embodiment;
FIG. 4 is an explanatory view showing correspondence between file titles and keywords; and
FIG. 5 is an example of keyword dictionary of the embodiment.
Preferred embodiments of the present invention will now be described in detail in accordance with the accompanying drawings.
FIG. 1 is a block diagram showing the hardware construction of a retrieval apparatus according to an embodiment of the present invention. As it is apparent from FIG. 1, the retrieval apparatus may be replaced with a general personal computer (PC).
In FIG. 1, the retrieval apparatus comprises a display 101, a video board 102, a keyboard/mouse 103 and a floppy disk 104, which are provided in the above-mentioned general PC. A software program used for activating the hardware as a retrieval apparatus is stored in a hard disk 107. A CPU 105 loads the software program into a RAM 106 and executes the loaded program. Thus, the hardware construction operates as a retrieval apparatus.
FIG. 2 is a block diagram showing the logical construction of the retrieval apparatus of the embodiment. In FIG. 2, reference numeral 1 denotes a hierarchical keyword display & designation unit which displays hierarchical keyword groups and designates logical operation of a keyword or a plurality of keywords, which may be stored in an object file to be retrieved by a user. The hierarchical keyword display & designation unit 1 also has a display function to present the user with retrieval results by displaying, regarding the retrieved file, at least one of a file name, a file title and internal data. Note that the hierarchical keyword display & designation unit 1 comprises, e.g., a display as display means and a mouse or a keyboard as input means.
Numeral 2 denotes a hierarchical keyword dictionary in which current keywords, the hierarchical structure of a keyword group constituting the keywords and attribute information of each keyword are stored. The hierarchical keyword dictionary 2 comprises a hierarchical-structure storage unit 10 for storing the hierarchical structure of the keywords and attribute storage unit 9 for storing the keyword attributes (attribute information of keywords).
Numeral 3 denotes a hierarchical keyword developer which refers to the hierarchical keyword dictionary 2, based on the hierarchical-structured keywords designated by the hierarchical keyword display & designation unit 1 or logical operation of the hierarchical-structured keywords, and picks up a keyword group located at lower levels of the designated hierarchical-structured keywords, then generates a logical equation for retrieval so that the retrieval is performed on the picked up keywords.
When the equation by the developer has a plurality of terms (keywords), the hierarchical keyword developer 3 performs sorting on the terms in accordance with the user's desired display order. Note that the sorting will be described in detail later.
Numeral 4 denotes a table which contains a list of a respective correspondence among file names stored in a file storage unit 5, keywords respectively added to each of the file names, and file titles. Numeral 7 denotes a keyword editor, and 8, a keyword registration unit for setting correspondence between files and keywords.
Numeral 6 denotes a retrieval engine for referring to the table 4 based on a retrieval-designation keyword and taking a file which corresponds to the retrieval-designation keyword out of the file storage unit 5.
FIG. 3 shows an example of user interface in the retrieval apparatus of the present embodiment. FIG. 4 shows the file titles and corresponding keywords according to the present embodiment.
In FIG. 3, numeral 30 denotes a display for mode change. On graphical user interface, this display forms a menu-bar image. A user can set a display order of the files as retrieval results by using this menu bar. In this embodiment, one of the following four display orders can be selected:
Display Order 1: to display files in frequency of keyword retrieval order, in which a file having keywords most frequently retrieved in the past searches comes first.
Display Order 2: to display files in date and time of keyword retrieval order, in which a file having keywords latest retrieved comes first.
Display Order 3: to display files in date and time of keyword generation order, in which a file having keywords latest generated comes first.
Display Order 4: to display files in significance of keyword order, in which a file having the most-significant keyword comes first.
Note that in this embodiment, the above-mentioned "display order 1" is selected as a current mode.
Numeral 28 denotes a window displayed on the display 101; 21, a browser displaying, e.g., hierarchical structure of keywords in accordance with the hierarchical structure as shown in FIG. 5. A user can designate a keyword on the browser 21 by, e.g., "double-clicking" the keyword with a mouse.
Also, the user can designate a keyword by directly inputting the keyword using, e.g., a key board and the like which acts as input means, into a text field 22 or text field 24.
The browser 21, text fields 22 and 24 have designation-keyword data in common. If a keyword "vehicle" on the browser 21 is double-clicked, a character "vehicle" appears in the text fields 22 and 24.
Numeral 23 denotes a radio button for "and/or" selection. As the above-described keyword designation has been made, the user clicks a FIND button 25 to instruct the start of retrieval. Then, titles obtained as the results of the retrieval are listed at a position indicated by a numeral 26.
Note that in this embodiment, the files registered in the retrieval apparatus all have titles as attributes, and retrieval results are displayed as the titles. However, the retrieval results may be displayed by file names or images corresponding to the files.
In the user interface shown in FIG. 3, a hierarchical keyword designated as a retrieval object is "vehicle". When the user starts retrieval using the FIND button 25, the hierarchical keyword developer 3 develops the hierarchical structure of keywords, in accordance with a logical equation 1 to be described later. The hierarchical keyword developer 3 refers to the hierarchical-structure storage unit 10, and replaces each keyword included in the logical equation 1 with a logical sum of the keyword and all key words located at lower level of the keyword.
For example, if the hierarchical-structure storage unit 10 has a hierarchical-structured keywords as shown in FIG. 5, a keyword "vehicle" is developed as follows, which provides the logical equation 1: ##EQU2##
As the keyword "vehicle" has keywords in its lower-leveled location, those keywords are also developed as follows:
vehicle=vehicle+car+special-purpose car+private use car+train+ship+airplane+starship
Next, as the display order 1 is selected as the current mode, the attribute storage unit 9 in the hierarchical keyword dictionary 2 is referred to so as to arrange the keywords in the logical equation 1 in frequency of keyword retrieval order, that is, a keyword retrieved most frequently in the past search comes first.
Note that in this embodiment, the attribute storage unit 9 holds information, as attributes of the keywords, as follows:
ATR1: the number of retrievals using the keyword
ATR2: date and time of the latest retrieval of the keyword
ATR3: date and time when the keyword was generated by the keyword editor 7
ATR4: significance of the keyword weighted by a user
In this embodiment, as the display order 1 is selected, the ATR1 is referred to. As a result, the respective keywords are retrieved the number of times as follows:
vehicle: 4 times, car: 18 times, special-purpose car: 0 time, private use car: 10 times, ship: 14 times, airplane: 17 times, starship: 2 times, train: 10 times
Accordingly, the logical equation 1 is transformed into a logical equation 2 as shown below, then sent to the retrieval engine 6.
vehicle=car+airplane+ship+private use car+train+vehicle+starship+special-purpose car
The retrieval engine 6 performs retrieval sequentially from the leftmost keyword of the right side of the logical equation 2, then sequentially sends the retrieval results to the hierarchical keyword display & designation unit 1. Therefore, the retrieval results are displayed the in the order corresponding to the display order 1. That is, the file names are listed in the area 26 as the results from retrieval using the keyword "vehicle". The keywords of the respective files are shown in FIG. 5. It can be understood from FIG. 5 that the files are displayed in regular order from the file having the most-frequently retrieved keyword.
A file retrieval is executed based on not only the above-mentioned "ATR1", but "ATR2", "ATR3" or "ATR4" with a similar transformation of the equation.
As described above, when information corresponding to keywords, which is stored in the attribute storage unit 9, is utilized for file retrieval, retrieval results are displayed in such order that the most-frequently accessed file comes to the top of the list. Keywords which are located at the lower-level of the keyword in the hierarchical structure are also displayed as retrieval results. Then the user can easily find a desired file out of the list of files.
In other words, the desired file can be easily found by arranging keywords used for retrieval to form a hierarchical structure, and utilizing attribute information of the keywords.
Further, as a file-display order is selected among a plurality of orders, file retrieval is easily made by displaying files in the most-convenient file display which is selected among a plurality of orders.
Note that in this example, one keyword, "vehicle", is used for retrieval, however, the number of keywords is not limited to one. For example, display order of retrieval results may be controlled by developing a plurality of logical equations of keywords and applying the above-mentioned keyword arrangement to the keywords.
The present invention can be applied to a system constituted by a plurality of devices or to an apparatus comprising a single device.
Furthermore, the invention is also applicable to a case where the invention is embodied by supplying a program to a system or apparatus. In this case, a storage medium such as a floppy disc or a CD-ROM, storing a program according to the invention, constitutes the invention. The system or apparatus installed with the program read from the medium realizes the functions according to the invention.
As many apparently widely different embodiments of the present invention can be made without departing from the spirit and scope thereof, it is to be understood that the invention is not limited to the specific embodiments thereof except as defined in the appended claims.

Note: See update below.
Believe me when I say we are constantly sifting through various content to determine accurate prices and configurations to report to you. We are 99% certain that the cheapest model (variant as we like to say) is looking to cost $229 US. However, we do have some questions.
First, we have seen conflicting information about what processor this version of the ZenPad S 8.0 (Z580CA) has inside. If you just look at the Asus.com website, it clearly states only the Intel Z3580 or Intel Z3560 processors. However, we've also seen a listing for a version with an Intel Z3530 processor. So should we trust the official specs page on Asus.com? That would make sense, however even manufacturers websites are sometimes incorrect. In fact we've seen documentation online that indeed shows the Z580CA with an Intel Z3530 and not just one model. This particular documentation shows a number of Z580CA models with the Z3530 processor. At this point, it's speculation. There could be issues or pricing issues around the Intel Atom Z3560. Simply said, we have seen too much conflicting information.
We know that the Z580C model has the Intel Z3530 processor and this particular model has 2GB RAM and 32GB storage. It's is priced at $199 US. So if the cheapest Z580CA is priced at $229, could it have the Z3530 or the Z3560?
We need to look at the $30 price jump. The Z580C does not have the Z Stylus pen input support. It does not have the USB Type-C port. It also doesn't have the Tru2Life+ enhancement technology. If all other features/specs remain equal, then you would be paying for the pen input support, Tru2Life+ and the USB Type-C port. We simply don't have the intelligence to determine the cost of materials, but putting in a faster processor plus all those other extras for $30? Seems unlikely. Beyond that we also believe the hero model of the Z580CA is going to be priced at $369 US.
Our verdict? We believe the cheapest ZenPad S 8.0 (Z580CA) model will be sporting the Intel Atom Z3530 (not the Z3560 as suggested on the Asus website) and will be priced at $229 US. Because it's only $30 more than the Z580C, we certainly think those extra features are worth the upgrade.
Update: With conflicting information so far, it's possible for this tablet to be priced from $229 US to $239 US. If we had to pick one, we think $239 is right. Let's wait for the official word on pricing!

Favorite Places to Pee...Mature
In the Master's bed is good. So also is the central tile of the kitchen floor. And in the bathroom right next to the toilet. That always frazzles the Master, like, "If only the little bastard could just use the damn thing!" It arouses in him unreal expectations of me. I run, I frolic, I chew things. I do not pee into porcelain artifices. Other things I do not do include contemplating my own existence; getting depressed; crying at weddings. Those things I leave to the Master. As a matter of fact, I have never been to a wedding. No one has had the gumption to invite me as of yet.
Just yesterday I discovered the joy of humping. Oh what a pleasure it is indeed! I practice on the toddler "Benny" when the Master isn't looking. Benny is not much girthier than I. He giggles when I prop my paws on him and commence to pump him exuberantly. The Master, when he catches me doing this, yells to the Misses, "Look! He's raping him!" And they both laugh and point and Benny giggles and giggles, and this arouses me so. Boy, does it. I hump and pump and hump like a little furry Fergie until Benny is face down on the rug, and invariably the Master and Misses must beat me off.
I also, as you may have guessed, am very tired most of the time. The Master calls me"narcoleptic". I don't know what that moniker means, but I do not like it. It seems to "paint me" in a crappy light. My name is MustNotSleep. This is the name you have given me Master. Do you hear me? I demand respect! I demand you and the Misses do more humping sans clothing to supply me with toddlers to "rape"! And I de... deman... d...

SACRAMENTO -- The Miami Heat released all of their frustrations Saturday night at Sleep Train Arena during a 128-99 victory over the hapless Sacramento Kings. The Heat (24-11) entered the game having lost two in a row and quickly showed it did not plan on losing three straight for the first time this season. Three minutes into the contest, the Heat held a 14-2 advantage. Mario Chalmers scored a season-high 34 points to lead the Heat to one of its easiest wins of the season. Chalmers made 10 of 13 3-pointers as the Kings were incapable of covering the penetrations and perimeter shooting on the same possession. Chalmers scored 13 points in the first quarter to help the Heat get off to its quick start. Six members of the Heat scored in double-figures, including LeBron James, who scored 20 points, had five rebounds, seven assists and five steals. Miami never was pushed at either end of the floor during one of the Kings' worst performances of the season. Kings guard Isaiah Thomas scored a career-high 34 points and made six of eight 3-pointers. The play of the game came on a reverse alley-oop dunk by James off a pass from Dwayne Wade. Miami's dominance showed statistically in its 35 assist-to-10 turnover ratio. The Kings have lost by more than 20 points in two of their past three home games. NOTES: LeBron James entered Saturday night's game just 70 points shy of scoring his 20,000th career point. James is 28 years and 13 days old. Kobe Bryant is the fastest player to 20,000 points at 29 years and 122 days. ... Miami entered the game having held its past three opponents to below 40 percent field-goal shooting. Conversely, the Kings had allowed an average of 114.3 points per game in their past three. ... Second-year Kings guard Jimmer Fredette entered the game with a 90.8 free-throw shooting percentage, which ranks him second behind former Kings (now Oklahoma City) guard Kevin Martin. Kings coach Keith Smart said the team either hears from the league or calls the NBA when there is possibility of suspension, such as regarding DeMarcus Cousins' flagrant foul II in Thursday's loss to Dallas. "We called them (Saturday) because we wanted to know. You know, it's a first-to-the-worm thing."

Home › Forums › Gear Forums › Gear (General) › Self Contained Solo Cooksets
Apr 27, 2010 at 6:54 pm #1258263
Geoff KembelMember
Here are the results of my research on self contained solo cooksets for my upcoming trip to Iceland.
My goal was to find a cookset that:
1) stores an 8oz/220g fuel canister AND a stove inside
2) has a pot and a cup
3) is as light as possible
Here are the sets I looked at:
1) Snow Peak Titanium Mini Solo Cookset
2) REI Ti Ware Cup and Pot Set
These two are pretty much the same. Super lightweight (5-6 oz), but only big enough to store a narrow 4oz/110g canister (like SnowPeak).
3) Snow Peak Trek 900
Super light (6oz), tall and wide enough to store a large fuel canister, but comes with a pan i/o a cup. Bummer!
4) MSR Reactor
Cool, efficient system, but far too bulky and heavy (19oz).
5) GSI Outdoor Pinnacle Soloist Cookset
Stores a large canister and a tiny stove (like a Snow Peak LiteMax). Pot and cup. Check. Well thought out extras like the dual purpose lid (strainer on pot and sipping lid on mug) and wash basin carrying case. The only downside is it's heavier than I'd like (11oz). Alas.
I ended up selecting the Pinnacle Soloist, trading weight for everything else.Apr 27, 2010 at 7:21 pm #1602958

I actually store my fuel can outside the pot but still inside the mesh sack that came with my Trek 700.
Here are a few pictures. One with it all packed and another with everything out. I only have a 110g fuel can here but I am pretty sure I can fit a 220g in the mesh sack if I wanted to.
With the 110g fuel can, the whole thing weights 16 oz. with everything that I have in there.Apr 27, 2010 at 9:05 pm #1602999

James WyrwickiBPL Member
i use a fosters can in a 4 cup ziplock container. I holds my stove, folding spork, windscreen, minidropper of soap, and 4 oz. fuel bottle(there many be room for an additional 2 oz. bottle too). If it is really cold out I'll use a reflectex(spelling?) cozy over the ziplock to rehydrate and retain warmth. Either the beer can pot or the ziplock can function as a cup, usually the cozied ziplock for my coffee. It works really well. I think with 4 oz. of fuel it weights about 11oz. I'll try and get some pictures up tomorrow.
*I missed the whole canister thing- pays to read first:) Still here is my $.02Apr 27, 2010 at 9:51 pm #1603006
BPL 550 pot
Caldera 550 Cone
Lots of storage in both containers for your STUFF.Apr 27, 2010 at 10:33 pm #1603014
Geoff KembelMember
Golly. Looks like I should have posted here first for ideas.
Tony, I like your setup w/ the fuel outside the pot, especially for a 110g canister.
And the Sea to Summit X Mug opens up a whole new set of possibilities. At 4.25" diameter by < 0.5" height collapsed, it would fit in any pot that holds a 220g canister. E.g.
Snow Peak Trek 900 (6oz) and X Mug (2.4oz). 8.4oz for pot/pan/cup. Not bad.
Or if you don't need the pan: MSR Ti Tea Kettle (4oz) and X Mug. 6.4oz for pot/lid/cup.Apr 27, 2010 at 10:46 pm #1603016

I use an alky stove set-up consiting of the following:
-SP 600 (2.8oz)
-Fancy feast can (0.3)*
-Bandana (0.5)*
-Folding spork (0.4)*
-Foil windscreen (0.5)*
-Foil lid (0.3)*
-Dr. B's handsoap (1)*
-Mini bic lighter (0.4)*
-Rubber band (doesn't register)
-Empty fuel bottle (1)
All of the asterix items fit inside the SP 600, the rubber band goes around the top/bottom to hold it all into place and to stop the pot handles from bouncing.
My fuel bottle just goes on the outside of my pack for saftey reasons.
The whole set-up, including soap and empty fuel bottle weighs 7.2oz.Apr 27, 2010 at 11:00 pm #1603018

@danepackerLocale: Mojave Desert
It's well known that pots which are wider than they are tall are more efficient. That's the 1st thing I look for in a pot.
"Cooksets" are not something I've ever been into since I quit using my ancient Sigg Tourist cookset/windscreen fro my Svea 123 stove. To me a "set" inplies more thatn a pot. It usually means a lid, cup and possibly more. Since abandonong my Sig Tourist cookset I've never found a cook "set" that was light enough or met my needs. I have a 1 L. "Travelling Light" aluminum pot W/ piepan lid, Cool Whip bowl, plastic measuring/drinking cup & Lexan spoon. That's my current "set"
I Do like the Evernew aluminum & ceramic interior 740 ml. pot but… I'd ditch the lid heavy & remove the handles and handle holder bracket & use my light aluminum pot gripper. Then I'd make another aluminum piepan lid W/ taped on wire key ring lid "handle".

I use the GVP caldera cone cookset sold by Gossamer Gear; uses Esbit tablets, similar setup to Jay's posted above. Very lightweight, and I love how the GVP set is totally self-contained in a small lightweight package. Uses a Fosters can as the cooking pot.Apr 28, 2010 at 7:49 am #1603096

Highs and lows of WISN-TV swing wide
"May you live in interesting times" is said to be an ancient Chinese curse.
But it also is the conflicted mantra of news organizations whose ratings rise and fall with the tragedy and joy of the communities in which they are embedded. They share the high of the Green Bay Packers and the low of the temple shootings.
But rarely does the pendulum swing as widely as at WISN-TV (Channel 12), which has several unique internal dramas. Any momentum the station gained from the huge audience for Donald Driver's appearance on ABC's "Dancing With the Stars," which helped it win the 5, 6 and 10 p.m. household news ratings during the May sweeps, was disrupted by what happened next.
Most notable was the weeklong blackout last month of its signal in a dispute between the station's owners, Hearst Television Inc., and Time Warner Cable that cost the station's 10 p.m. newscast an estimated 50,000 viewers a night.
Then came the Olympics. The 17-day broadcast - the most watched TV event in history - helped NBC affiliate WTMJ-TV (Channel 4) steal ratings from every station in town, and further stalled WISN-TV's recovery from the blackout.
And last week the station said goodbye to news director Lori Waldon, who had held the post for the past five years.
She was appointed news director at two Hearst stations in Sacramento. During her tenure WISN-TV added a half-hour to its 10 p.m. newscast, expanded its early morning newscast, saw its 10 p.m. anchor Toya Washington go part time and replaced her with anchor Craig McKee from San Diego, who has yet to experience a Wisconsin winter.
"We had significant breaking news since her arrival" in 2006, said Jan Wade, president and general manager of WISN-TV, including the explosion at the Falk Corp., winter storms, the budget battle and the recall election.
Coverage of the temple shootings earlier this month, however, was handled by Ed Reams, who has been assistant news director for the past year. Reams came from New Orleans, where he covered Hurricane Katrina.
Wade - who has been with WISN-TV for five years - said the station is conducting a nationwide search for Waldon's replacement and defends the practice of recruiting from elsewhere.
Anchor Kathy Mykleby, reporters Kent Wainscott, Nick Bohr and others "have been here multiple years and in some cases multiple decades," and along with behind-the-scenes folks who have been there even longer, possess "valuable institutional knowledge." Someone "not from the community," meanwhile "is good at looking at things with a new set of eyes" and can "re-engage, re-energize and provide a different perspective," said Wade.
A news director will be hired "hopefully before the November sweeps." Wade said she'll "know them when I see them."
Whoever it is also will spearhead the station's social media efforts, she said. Stations once gave people the news "when it was time to give them the news. You can't do that now. You have to be there when something occurs," she said.
For anyone reading the tea leaves for insight into what the turnover may mean for veteran Mykleby, who has seen news directors and co-anchors come and go, Wade says she will be "on the air as long as she wants to be on the air."
Wade, too, spent August watching the Olympics on WTMJ-TV "a little bit." After all, she said, "I'm an American."
But she is confident any ratings erosion WISN-TV suffered during the Games will be regained when original programming resumes this fall, adding that last week's preseason Packers game beat the Olympics in the ratings.
Ditto for any audience erosion caused by the cable blackout.
"Was (the blackout) harmful? Probably, because some people didn't understand why (it happened) and were angry at both sides," she said. "But these things go away and . . . people return to their regular viewing patterns," she said.
New programming includes Katie Couric's talk show, which is expected to attract Oprah Winfrey's old audience.
More than once during a recent conversation Wade said "I do not feel panicked" about this swirl of events. Wade has been in broadcasting for 21 years and came to Milwaukee five years ago after holding a series of management positions elsewhere. And while she says she is "here for the long haul" she says that Hearst "can ask me to move someplace else at some future point."
Green Bay Packers wide receiver Donald Driver will be a correspondent for ABC's "Good Morning, America" on Friday. According to his management firm he will appear live from Green Bay to introduce a report on his trip to a Texas waterpark.
GMA producers "capture Driver's every move" as he tests out the park's water rides with his wife and kids. The appearance apparently extends his relationship with ABC following his victory last season on the network's "Dancing With the Stars" show.
"I am a long way from hanging my cleats up," Driver is reported as having said, but he looks "forward to exploring additional television roles in the future." "Good Morning, America" airs between 7 and 9 a.m. on WISN-TV.
A dispute that could have blacked out WVTV-TV (Channel 18) and WCGV-TV (Channel 24) on the Dish Network has been resolved. At issue were the fees Dish pays to retransmit stations in the Sinclair Broadcasting Group. Dish said Sinclair was asking for called a "massive price increase." The previous agreement expired at midnight Wednesday.
Sinclair has 74 stations in 45 markets. WVTV is a CW affiliate. WCGV telecasts syndicated shows and reruns.

I placed an order with sweetpaulaspods and I got nothing in return, be aware that I have order from this company in the past and have had no problems. This time the company stole my money. They did not respond to any of my emails. Do not order from them and if you did get your bank to refuse to pay them otherwise do what you can to shut them down. After so many complaints, a letter to the states distric Attorney should do the trick. That is where I will be statrting with. Lets hope we can shut them down and put then in jail for grand theft which is what they are doing to their customers.

Bryce Harper returned to the Nationals' lineup tonight after missing the previous two contests with swelling in his left knee. Harper tested the knee in the outfield this afternoon and determined he could play on it, although swelling and bruising remains from his collision a week ago with the fence at Dodger Stadium.
"It's something that you don't like doing, run into a wall at 100 miles an hour," Harper said. "You're going to feel something this day, feel something that day. I'm just trying to keep up my knee and see what happens."
Harper played two games last week after the collision. He found the pain, which also came from a bruised abdomen and shoulder, did not compromise at the plate or in the field – in one at-bat, he smashed a 431-foot homer to dead center. But he still feels the effects. Sliding, he said, could be particularly problematic.
"It was more just running on it and sliding, things like that," Harper said. "If I need to slide, it's probably going to hurt worse. If I bang it up or something, I'll be right back to square one. Hopefully I don't do that."
The Nationals did receive some good news health news today. Starter Ross Detwiler felt significant improvement with the slight oblique strain that prevented him from making his start tonight. If he continues to make similar progress in the next few days, he expects to make his next start, Sunday at Nationals Park, on schedule.
"Today was one of those really positive days," Detwiler said. "There was that much progress last night. I feel very good about today."
Detwiler rode a stationary bike this afternoon, and he plans to play catch tomorrow. He said the oblique strain is "still there," but that another day like today should keep him on schedule.
The Nationals do not plan on placing him on the disabled list, but they may still make a roster move to bolster their roster. Depending on how Zach Duke performs tonight, and how many innings he logs, the Nationals may add a reliever from Class AAA Syracuse. In that case, they would carry an extra reliever and send down one of their bench players, most likely outfield Eury Perez.
With veteran J.C. Romero on the disabled list at Syracuse, the most likely candidate to be called up would be lefty reliever Fernando Abad, who has a 1.06 ERA in 17 innings.

Sticky Situation: How To Build Your Reputation In 2016
Sticky Situation:
Happy New Year!
Are you ready? What do you want to broadcast in 2016?
What do you want the buzz about you to be behind your back, when the door closes, when you leave a client, a colleague, or even your boss?
What reputation do you want to have?
Hmmm, you're thinking, thinking, thinking ... Words are twirling in your mind. That's a good start. Keep it going. Let the above questions simmer and see what comes up.
To make sure that your vision is realistic and that your legacy will match your expectation, I invite you to do the following exercise.
1. Choose your writing tools.
If you're more traditional, take out a pad of paper or your notebook, along with your favourite pen. If you're more of a techno-trendy kind of person, prepare your fingers for typing on the keyboard of your choice.
Ready? Go!
2. Make a comprehensive list of all the qualities that describe you professionally.
Don't be modest. Keep going. Need some inspiration? Dig through your performance evaluations, thank you notes and congratulatory emails. Keep going! Write five, 10, or 20 qualities, and more. Do not limit yourself.
Here are some suggestions: creative, analytical, professional, flexible, excellent communicator, easily adapts, courageous, resourceful, independent thinker, visionary, good negotiator, etc.
3. Identify your current reputation by conducting an opinion poll.
Send your list of qualities to the members of your professional network: your colleagues, suppliers, maybe your boss and even friends. Ask them to choose the five qualities that represent you best at work.
Explain the process: in person, by e-mail and even via a text message. All forms of communication are good. To receive the maximum feedback make sure to adapt to the recipient's preferred mode.
Your message could look like this:
"Happy New Year (person's name)!
I am refining my professional image and need your help to validate my work attributes. Please identify what you perceive as being my top five qualities. Feel free to add to the list and input comments.
My deadline is (give a delay of a few days, a week at most).
If I don't hear from you by then, I will understand that you will not be participating in my survey and I will not hold any grudges against you ☺.
If you have any questions, call me at (your number) or read this blog post (share the link to this post).
Have a great day."
4. Count and unveil your results.
Gather your sampling. Read all of the characteristics and appreciate your talents. Yes, give yourself a pat on the back. It is well-deserved. You shine at being you!
Compile the votes to identify your five most popular qualities.
5. Reduce your results to form your top three.
Analyze what others appreciate most about you professionally and identify the three that most resonate with you. At this point, you have the right of veto. After all, it's your vision that you want to achieve, isn't it? Circle, cut, highlight, or underline the three qualities you want to broadcast for the next year.
6. Post your top three.
Place your reputation vision in a place that you will frequently look at during your work hours. Choose a location to which your eyes will be drawn during the day: your vision board, your notebook, a sticky note by your coat hook, in your top drawer, or inside your tablet's cover.
7. Adopt and immerse yourself in your vision.
From now on, your words and your actions should reflect these three qualities.
8. If necessary, adjust yourself.
If there is regularly a gap between your current performance and your vision, ask yourself this question and take action:
"What can I stop doing or start doing to make sure I finish the year with this reputation?"
Since you have surveyed those with whom you work and are inspired by these three qualities, a simple awareness and reaffirmation may suffice.
But to develop or improve a skill, it could necessitate you to seek coaching, to participate in a workshop, or to read a book.
Whatever it is, invest in your vision. You will be the biggest beneficiary.
And if you are already on the right track, all you need to do is keep doing what you're doing. Celebrate!
If you change your mind, know that it is quite acceptable. You are the master of your reputation. The important thing is to be aware of how you shine. Because whether it is consciously crafted or not, you have a reputation.
May 2016 be your best year yet!

Use consistent placement without taglines or long-winded explanations of what they do.
Months are okay to include. Exact day of the month is too much.
Action verbs are key on a resume: Examples are reduced, grew, cut, expanded. Avoid bland passive language: hired to be, responsible for, etc. Find additional examples of succcess verbs here.
Offer a clear description of who you are and what you want to do. Eliminate jargon and acronyms. Showcase your biggest accomplishments for other employers in concrete terms: how you increased revenue, cut costs, improved efficiency or otherwise helped the company meet its most important goals.
Please, please do not fib. A study by the Society of Human Resource managers suggests more than half of people tell a lie of some kind on their resume. In 2006 the chief executive of RadioShack Corp. was forced out after the firm discovered he didn't have the college credentials he claimed.
