This marks the end of Ramadan, the month of fasting, and is a festival of great celebration. In Islamic countries it is a public holiday. The first Eid was celebrated in 624 CE by the Prophet Mohammed (pbuh) with his friends and relatives. Muslims are not only celebrating the end of fasting, but thanking Allah for the help and strength that he gave them throughout the previous month to help them practice self-control. The festival begins when the first sight of the new moon is seen in the sky. Muslims in most countries rely on news of an official sighting, rather than looking at the sky themselves.
Eid ul Fitr is very much a community festival and people go out into the streets to exchange greetings, and visit friends and relatives. The celebratory atmosphere is increased by everyone wearing best or new clothes, and decorating their homes. There are special services out of doors and in Mosques, processions through the streets, and of course, a special celebratory meal-eaten during daytime, the first daytime meal Muslims will have had in a month. Eid is also a time of forgiveness, and making amends.
Eid ul Adha (10 Dhul-Hijjah) The Festival of sacrifice which marks the end of the Hajj or holy pilgrimage, which is one of the 5 pillars of Islam, however it is celebrated by all Muslims, not just those who are on the pilgrimage. The festival remembers the prophet Ibrahim's willingness to sacrifice his son when God ordered him to. God appeared in a dream to Ibrahim and told him to sacrifice his son Isma " il. Ibrahim and Isma " il set off to Mina for the sacrifice. As they went, the devil attempted to persuade Ibrahim to disobey God and not to sacrifice his beloved son. Ibrahim drove the devil away.
As Ibrahim prepared to kill his son God stopped him and gave him a sheep to sacrifice instead. Ibrahim's complete submission to the will of God is celebrated by Muslims each year. Each Muslim, as they celebrate, reminds themselves of their own submission to God, and their own willingness to sacrifice anything to God's wishes. During the festival Muslims who can afford to, sacrifice domestic animals, usually sheep, as a symbol of Ibraham's sacrifice.
The meat is distributed among family, friends and the poor, who each get a third share.

I am very excited to be a co-producer for The President's Kitchen Cabinet, an up and coming TV documentary. The final production promises to be an insightful and groundbreaking film that will peer into the personal and professional lives of African-American cooks who have served in the White House. I am collaborating with Adrian Miller- food writer, politico, attorney and author of Soul Food: The Surprising Story of an American Cuisine, One Plate at a Time.
Adrian shares that, "After watching The President's Kitchen Cabinet, you'll discover that these cooks were not only culinary artists, but they also served our presidents as personal confidantes, informal policy advisors, civil rights advocates and family friends." He has compiled stories for the film which include "The Poisoned Pea Plot of 1776" - an account of the cook who saved President Washington's life, the grill chef who cooked on the White House roof with President Eisenhower, the enslaved cook who managed to learn classical French cooking and the female cook who inspired President Lyndon to lobby for the 1964 Civil Rights Act.

I bought this product two day before a week long camping trip with my 4 and 8 year old grand daughters. The first one we bought did not flush properly, the handle only moved about 1/8 of the way and the flush pump did not work. Since we were at a camp ground I just took it back to the closed wal-mart and exchanged it. No problem. The second one worked great. Pros: It was easy for the kid to use and much quicker for those middle of the night potty runs for preschoolers. Cons: it really is only a little higher then a potty chair and not to good for an adult. It was heavy to carry, awkward to dump, and spilled out at the dump station. Still all in all I will continue to use it for the grand kids and find it a good convinience and value for the money. Next time I will see if they will let me dump it in the restroom toilet.
The Coleman flush toilet is just what I wanted. It slips nicely into an otherwise unused space in the boat. Nice that the waste tank is larger than the flush water reservoir.All features function perfectly and I expect the plunger pump to be more durable than the bellows types that I have owned. Walmart price was the best and $0.97 delivery was prompt.
This Coleman was ordered because of the Coleman reputation and the ideal size for our camper/travel use. It looks great, size is excellent, and the idea is a good one. However, the pump valve used to pump the water from the holding tank to flush the bowl leaks 4 to 6 drops of water if pumped more than 2 times. This is unacceptable due to the fact that the unit is to be used on a carpeted floor and it needs to be pumped more than 2 times. I returned it. to WalMart where I purchased it. The WalMart service personnel were very, very helpful and treated me with respect. Thanks, WalMart!!!
Purchased this product for camping at my family's property up in the mountains where there is no running water. The coleman flushable toilet definitely the best of the available options to use up there. Was easy to use, and there were no odors. Would definitely recommend to a friend.
The upper section (the seat and flush tank) does not attach well to the lower section (the holding tank). The two sections meet and then a twist locks them together, but the slightest movement (certainly the act of sitting down) is enough to unlock, though not seperate the two sections. The locking device needs to be more positive.
I'm heading out to Burning Man and wanted a "private" toilet to use at night instead of walking all the way to the Port-A-Potties. The toilet is compact and low to the ground, easy to operate, and clean out. You can "go" in it about 30 times before you gotta clean it out.
I have to mention that after you use it, make sure the handle you slide to open and close the drain, is closed all the way. If not, you'll get urine smells and the waste water will leak. If you use it properly, no smells and no leaks.
Of all the Porta Potti's out there this is one of the very few that has a seat large enough for a normal male. Which means it will be comfortable for just about everyone.
I haven't had to use it yet so i can't say how well it holds up. However at least it is usable.
Others cost more and who knows maybe will last longer, but what good are they if you can't use them because of the small seat size. I have this on a pontoon boat so the storage area only allows a low height of 12 inches like this unit. So I build a platform that could be stored next to it and used to increase the height.
Let's face it a 12 inch height isn't ideal. There is another unit I had to return (Porta Potti 550E Curve Portable Toilet) because it was too high for may storage area, but it would have been ideal if I could have got it to fit and had a decent seat size.
This unit however has an even larger seat than that one. For Seat size alone I give it 5 Stars, just hope it holds up.
I work for a preschool where we use these portable toilets for toddler classes. We have 3 classrooms, and after seeing 3 classrooms use 3 different potties, this one lasted the shortest. At first it works well, the plunger supposedly works very well. However, the seal between the two parts begins to leak and after a while it leaks everywhere. Granted, we do put a lot of use on these potties but this one started leaking pretty badly after 6 months. Would not recommend this potty. Century 6205 is better.
Very poor design. I expected so much more from the Coleman name! The flushing handle is way too complicated. It has to be pulled out slightly and then is VERY difficult to push to the side. I tried working it back and forth to see if it would loosen up, but it didn't. I was getting ready to use this for a camping trip with kids, and I knew it would probably be forced and broken with the first use, so I returned it.
To separate the upper part of the toilet from the bottom waste tank, you have to kind of unscrew it. There is only a handle on one side of each piece, so you end up having to practically hug the toilet with your arms to connect/disconnect the two pieces. Not pleasant.
I ended up buying an older used portapotty that worked very well. Just as large as the Coleman, but a much better design.
I have been using porta potti's for years, and they all seem to have the same problem. The bellows pumping system rots and deteriorates after a few years. I like the Coleman design which use a plunger system, so I took a chance and ordered it. That seems to work very well and we shall see how long it holds up. My main problem with it is that it has one of the most uncomfortable seats I have ever owned. Did no one from Coleman man ever sit on it before they put it in production? I almost returned it, but since we were leaving on an extended camping trip I decided to keep it.
I had the smaller Coleman flush toilet and beat it up pretty bad after 10 years. I just got this one and it is even better than the previous one. It's bigger so suitable for plus size gals or a man. Easier to operate and looks nicer too. Very pleased.
It's heavy, and leaks! I expect more from Coleman!
works good easy clean up , no mess
The manual flushing pump was leaking at the beginning probably because it was too dry but quickly stopped leaking after 3 or 4 times.
I am really happy about this purshase.
Top won't stay in place. Flush mechanisim difficult to use. Flimsy plastic for a toilet.
Product is what was stated. Great when camping with children or no facilities available.
Perfect for my small popup camper.
This is my second one, bought the first one about two years ago and am still using it on my first boat. The bottom section developed a crack in the plastic of the first one soon after I sat on it (!) but I fixed it by using "shoo goo" glue on the crack. Likewise, the second one I bought about a month ago developed a crack in the cap where they show the water hook up to flush out the bottom tank. I never use water pressure to flush it, only use a bottle of fresh water to rinse it out when I dump it. So when I checked the cap to make sure it was tight, the plastic cracked around the head of the cap as I twisted it tight, so I once again used "shoo glue" which sets up hard like plastic. I use the toilet with the flush valve in the open position while I am sitting on it as it helps to let everything drop directly into the bottom chamber and then I pump the fresh water a few times to wash the sides and toilet paper down and wipe it with fresh paper and drop that in also. Works better than trying to keep water in while sitting on it. So basically it is a good buy, but expect to do repairs due to lower quality construction.
After purchasing not one but TWO of these porta potties in the larger capacity version, we have had twice the issues. From the very onset, this toilet is difficult not only to flush but to fill. The fill hole needs a funnel, the flush pump assembly is shoddy, with consistent needing of taking out and resetting the sealing rings. The back openings for dumping are huge, which means when you do to dump this toilet, be ware. It comes out fast! The other issues with this shoddy product would be the center rings that are on the seal that connects the toilet to the flushing handle in the front. This seal is gummy and soft which means if you do not line it up EXACTLY when you try to attach the top to the bottom, urine pools up on the second level leaving you with one big mess and ruined carpets if you happen to have this in a camper or lake house as we did. We tried several times to keep this from happening, but the seal never seemed to set right no matter who or how it was put together. The top easily shifts around once attached to promote this seal damage. The flushing handle is very difficult in the front of the toilet. Unless you have used this product or have the instructions handy, you will not know that the lever, which is difficult to move, has to be pulled out and moved to the right to flush at the same time or the handle could be broken off. Another issue with this is that the water flushing pump builds up pressure in the upper tank causing a squealing at times. One needs to open the small valve on the right in order to stop this. I have contacted Coleman about the inferiority of this product. I am not a complainer, nor am I one to pick on issues, but both of these toilets were experiencing the same issues at the same time which leads me to believe it is a defective product. DO NOT BUY THESE. Sincerely.
This works great for the pontoon boat that has a changing room. Just right for seven grandchildren. Easy to fill, flush and dispose.

Half Bubble Dome Sphere Cabochon Resin Mold Mould 429 is a durable, reusable polyethylene mold that measures 2 3/4" in diameter x 1 1/4" deep.
How to Use Resin Molds: Remove any dust and particles from your reusable mold. Molds do not require mold release when casting with resin, however, it is strongly suggested. We recommend the use of Castin' Craft Mold Release and Conditioner. Protect your work area with freezer or wax paper. Treat mold with mold release and allow to dry. Place mold on a level surface and fill the cavities to just below the top. Once the pieces are cured, turn the tray over and press the center area of each piece while flexing to release the casting. Do not use sharp objects to demold your resin as you will scratch your mold. Be sure to also read our plastic resin mold care tips to ensure a long life for your molds.

Back in my day, I called them "Mini-Spies".
Think about the implications of it though, robots in disguise themselves infiltrated and paranoid by the recent shifts in the status quo.
I'm kinda glad. A couple tie-in stories aside, Secret Invasion was a mess.
Almost makes you wonder if some of the aborted Micronauts relaunch concept didn't slip in...
Titan Masters could quite easily have been Transformers: Secret invasion, the return of the Mini-cons/Stentarians but noooooo, it had to be whatever the pit it is.
Fairly sure I used too much flour. Oh well.
Scones in the oven.
Considering whether it's worth the effort to make scones
TMM, free shipping
Even if it's just 4 bucks, people shouldn't be patronizing obvious scams.
What's the shipping price?
Yeah, but it's cheaper than all the Hong Kong sellers running at $65+
It sounds like a scam.
I know, RIGHT?!
Part of me is screaming "no", and part of me says "It's just four bucks, hit it and hope for the best".
Hmmm,...do I take the chance on a copy of Gundam Breaker 3 Break Edition for $4 from a China seller with zero feedback?
and collect cobwebs
Aside from getting stuck in bathtubs and getting eaten by family pets.
Spider-Man toys don't do whatever a spider can either...
Grax is only invisible when no one is looking at them. No idea what's wrong with your Xort.
Titan Masters is filled with false advertising, Grax doesn't make any figure invisible and Xort doesn't do anything with gravity. Maybe they'll be in the Transformer toys of tomorrow which will be actual robots with AI.
So you can bite his shiny metal ass?
Any particular reason TLK Voyager Optimus has his ass painted silver?
Loki makes life interesting. "I HAVE A PLAN FOR GETTING BACK THOR'S HAMMER!! HE'LL NEED TO WEAR THIS WEDDING DRESS!"
Thor was a great guy. Same as most of the Asgard. Loki was a jerk, though.
I think thor was just too smart to NOT call us stupid next to him.
Six of one, half a dozen of the other?
I always interpreted that scene to mean that asgardians weren't capable of breaking down problems in the same way as humans.
I mean, SG1 was a good show on balance. One of my favourite things was Thor admitting he found humans good to keep around because they so often came up with stupid ideas that nevertheless worked out.
Those episodes were 1969 and 2010.
Stargate sg1 was loosely based on the movie, it thrived on continuity it was impressive how old situations and solutions would come back in unexpected ways. Continuum had it's villain use the characters own solution in two previous episodes against them.
And yeah, name is based on a part of my surname. Can't remember why I picked it. Lost to memories of the primordial early 2000s.
Like how Abydos in the movie is in another galaxy on the far side of the universe, but Abydos in SG1 is the closest world to Earth (and that was the only reason the gate could still get there) and even getting to other galaxies was impossible with the normal gates.
I was very tired when I said that, but what I meant was a lot of stuff that is in the original Stargate movie is contradicted a lot in Stargate SG1.
I remember a fanfic that had Swindle as Lawyer.
No, I am referring to before Beast Wars: Uprising. I swear Swindle was a lawyer in a story before "A Brush With Infamy".
i cant get the link to work for the life of me. just go to the wiki and type "a brush with infamy" in the search box and itll come up
grr. check the post above this one. stupid non working link and i cant delete shouts...
I swear I've read the story but now I forget which one it is.
When has G1 Swindle been a lawyer before?
All I know about PennPenn is he's so good they named him twice.
Nope.. Pennpenn is actually a Prinny dood!
I wonder if Pennpenn is related to Sean Penn.
PennPenn - What are you talking about?
It's the only way for wisconsin to build it's population.
Wisconsin law: Whenever two trains meet at an intersection of said tracks, neither shall proceed until the other has.
Prequel creep?
The prequel-creep from the original Stargate movie to SG1 is kinda funny.

Bush Gardens
When a hot co-worker youve been crushing on offers to show you the flora down under on your first date, there are a few ways to react: test out your right hook, walk away disgusted, or get psyched for a visit to the bush. Of course, much of that reaction will likely depend on your gender.
That is, unless the seemingly lewd suggestion is just a poorly worded invite to Botanical Down Under, a solo exhibition of John Maloneys floral photography at Method Art.
Maloneys vibrant chromographic prints capture the raw beauty of native blossoms from Australia. Each of the plant species depicted was brought over from the isolated continent to Europe or the Americas in the 18th century, and continues to grow there today.

Dr. Oz's Number 1 Wrinkle Fighter Makes a Comeback and Targets Specific Areas of Your Face
Please SHARE with friends and include eMaxHealth in Google Alerts for tomorrow's great stories.
On a recent episode of The Dr. Oz Show, Dr. Oz asked his audience viewers to take a marker and circle the one specific area of their face that they are the most concerned about when it comes to wrinkles and finding an anti-aging product that actually works.
"Today I've asked everyone to circle their worst wrinkle. The area they wished looked smoother and younger. I did it to help us to answer one big question—'What's the most important product you can use to target that spot you circled? Is it a moisturizer? Is it a lotion? Or is it something else?' Well, the powerful anti-aging secret I want you all to use is…alpha hydroxy acid," says Dr. Oz "They're making a big comeback and we're now learning that they fight the signs of aging deep under the skin."
With Dr. Oz is special guest Jeannette Graf, MD a dermatologist who explains that alpha hydroxy acids are actually natural components of many foods we eat that because of their weak acidic properties can remove dead skin safely and effectively.
"There's a lot of new research about alpha hydroxy acids. They are natural acids that are found in fruits and milk. And what they do is take the dead skin cell layers―which collects as we get older making our lines and wrinkles look deeper―and it removes them and renews the skin. Nothing works as effectively as an alpha hydroxy acid," says Dr. Graf.
Dr. Oz adds that Cleopatra was known for taking sour milk baths that contained these alpha hydroxy acids that did their magic for her by gently exfoliating the dead skin away and revealing the newer, younger layers of skin that made her look younger. In addition, he tells viewers that alpha hydroxy acids used in cosmetics is not something new; but rather, an anti-aging, anti-wrinkle compound that is making a new comeback in the skincare industry.
Dr. Graf explains that what initially turned consumers away from alpha hydroxy acid-containing skin care products in the past was the fact that many women found them to dry-out the skin and cause irritation—especially in sensitive areas such as around the eyes. However, she states that new formulations of cosmetics containing alpha hydroxy acids are available today that have been perfected and have resolved the prior skin issues.
"They're pretty safe to use…and all skin types can use them," says Dr. Graf, adding that why women are having a hard time rediscovering the new formulations is because there are so many skincare products out there bombarding consumers that it is difficult to know what type to use.
Please SHARE with friends and include eMaxHealth in Google Alerts for tomorrow's great stories.
Dr. Graf tells viewers that she believes using alpha hydroxyl acid is a smarter way to exfoliate skin naturally and chemically using its gentle acidic properties rather than manually abrading the skin with other types of skincare products. Alpha hydroxy acid penetrates the upper dead layers of skin, weakening the anchors that hold dead skin cells together, which then allows the layer of dead skin cells to slough off, revealing smoother and more evenly pigmented underlying skin.
Dr. Oz points out that where many skincare products fail is that they do not penetrate below the dead skin cell layers to get to the younger cells that would benefit from some of the active ingredients in the skincare products that could so some good to the skin.

Post Content
Posted by Tracy Evans, MPH with help from Lindsay Tallon
Tracy is a Program Coordinator at the MA Department of Public Health
Once upon a time I used to be a very different person. I was the girl who would leave work at the end of a long day with both the freedom and energy to go for a run. I was motivated. I was a follower of Nike's Ad Campaign, "Just Do It." Before becoming a mom, making time for some form of exercise on a weekly basis was a top priority for me. But I don't know where that girl is anymore. I think she finally ran off to take a nap.
A few years into being a mom, I found myself slipping away into sedentary land. And I continued to live happily ever after wearing bigger pants and taking the elevator way too often.
But wait – this fairy tale has a better (and healthier) ending. Fast forward to one day last month when I saw a woman entering my office building after commuting to work on her bike. Wow, I thought, I have to meet her and steal some of her motivation. Okay, not steal, maybe borrow, or beg her to share some secrets! I just knew I had to meet her and get RE-inspired.
So I met with Lindsay Tallon, and want to share with you what I learned from this working mom with two children who rides her bike to work on a regular basis.
What motivated you to ride your bike to work?
Other DPH employees that ride their bikes to work and my husband, who does the same, inspired me. DPH also makes it super easy and worry free to store my bike with inside bike racks. Being motivated by a little competition, the DPH Green Streets Initiative where you pledge to go car-free the last Friday of the month at http://www.gogreenstreets.org was another incentive. Signing up gets you registered for DPH, provides discounts at local businesses, and calculates the calories burned and carbon offsets from your green commute.
Describe your healthy commute:
It's about 5 miles each way, and as a busy mom I consider the ride as treasured "me" time where I get to decompress before work or after a long day. Multi-tasking is an essential skill that any mom does on a daily basis and biking to work is just that–I get to work and exercise at the same time.
Anything you would like to say to other moms?
Take it one step at a time and just get started. Find ways to sneak fitness into your daily routine and treasure the time to take care of yourself. You deserve it!
What did I learn from Lindsay? I am a different person now, and I need a different plan. Time is different when you are a parent. I discovered getting up early is the most reliable time for me to work out while my son and husband are sleeping.
We all know where to find credible health information, but actually finding the motivation and inspiration and time is challenging. I want to encourage other moms to Just Do "Something". Find the time. Borrow the motivation. Look around at your family members or friends or neighbors or coworkers and see if someone has recently started a good eating plan or has found ways to increase physical activity/exercise and take the time to ask them about it; you may leave with more inspiration and tips, and please share them with me too.
Join us tomorrow, September 28, for the Walk/Ride Challenge by visiting http://www.gogreenstreets.org.

New Name, New Business Cards
Okay, here's a question: I'm taking my FI's last name and changing my middle name to my current last name (my maiden name). So if my name was currently Jane Jill Doe, my new name would be Jane Doe Jones. I've been working professionally for eight years as "Jane Doe" and so of course have a lot of contacts in my industry who know me by that name - does it make any sense to have my new business cards read "Jane Doe Jones" instead of just "Jane Jones"? Nobody really uses their middle names in my industry, but then again, they're mostly men. What do you ladies think? Anybody else considering this dilemma?

This application is a continuation of U.S. Utility patent application Ser. No. 09/127,413, filed on Jul. 31, 1998 now U.S. Pat. No. 6,463,130.
1. Field of the Invention
The present invention is directed to wireless and PSTN telecommunications service menus and, more particularly, to a method and system for directing a user through a menu of options for an advanced telecommunications service.
2. Background
Wireless and PSTN telephone companies (including local exchange carriers ("LECs")) often offer subscribers a wide variety of advanced telecommunications services. Among the services offered are call forwarding, flexible call forwarding. call waiting, follow-me services, caller identification, and voicemail. Certain services (for example, call waiting) are enabled by the subscriber using standard touch-tone features. Specifically, the subscriber simply enters a feature access code (e.g., "*72") to enable the service for his calling line. For instance, call forwarding on a home line is often enabled by dialing the feature access code and waiting for a double-burst dial tone from the office switch. The subscriber then dials the directory number of a destination calling line to which the calls should be forwarded. This information is then retained by the network. All subsequent calls are automatically forwarded to the specified destination calling line. When the subscriber desires to turn off the service, he simply dials a second feature access code (e.g., "*73"), which disables the service. This on/off activation provides a clear and simple interface for the subscriber.
The on/off activation of services has several drawbacks, however. First, such activation often inhibits the remote enablement of features for a particular calling line. Feature access codes usually affect only the calling line from which they are dialed. For example, a subscriber to call forwarding usually cannot enable the service by dialing a feature access code from a line other than the line for which the service was provisioned. Thus, if the service were provisioned on his home line, he could not dial the feature access code from his parents' home to enable the service.
Second, simple on/off activation prevents the flexible use of a service. Many services, including most call forwarding and call waiting services, are extremely inflexible regarding the time and manner in which they are offered. Typically, once the code is dialed, the service is enabled until the subscriber dials a second feature access code to disable the service. The subscriber cannot specify the time for initiating and/or concluding the service. Moreover, the subscriber cannot further configure the service in any fashion to suit his needs.
Third, on/off activation prevents the LEC from offering usage-based billing. Usage-based billing allows a carrier to charge a subscriber for a service based upon the amount of use of that service by the subscriber. Billing usually occurs on a per-minute, per-hour, or per-day basis. With feature access code-enablement, the subscriber simply turns the service on and off. The carrier does not keep track of the subscriber's usage. If the subscriber uses the service infrequently, he cannot justify the overall monthly cost to rent the service. As a result, the carrier would lose a subscriber that it might otherwise have gained if usage-based billing were offered.
To prevent the aforementioned drawbacks, a wireless or PSTN carrier can provide an automated voice response ("AVR") menu billing system. An AVR menu system relies upon Advanced Intelligent Network ("AIN") functionality to provide the subscriber with more options and greater flexibility when enabling and configuring a service. These options are provided to the subscriber using pre-recorded messages. When the subscriber dials a special access number (as opposed to a two-digit access code), the subscriber listens to this menu of options. The subscriber may then use her touch-tone telephone (or her own voice) to select options as they are provided. In this manner, specific configurations may be established to provide greater flexibility to the user.
Most AVR menus are created to offer a "tree-like" format for the subscriber. The subscriber begins the menu at the "trunk" of the tree. As he selects specific menu items, he is guided down "branches" of the tree. Each "branch" may then have several "sub-branches" that may be navigated by the subscriber. If the subscriber makes a mistake, he can usually press a button (e.g., "*") to return to the previous menu or "branch". The subscriber may repeatedly press this button until he is returned to the desired menu.
Very often, however, navigating complex tree menus can be a very daunting task. If the subscriber has progressed down several sub-branches, he eventually may forget his location within the menu. As a greater number of sub-branches (options) are provided at subsequent levels, this problem can grow exponentially. Ultimately, the subscriber may be forced to give up and re-dial the system. This situation wastes time and causes frustration among subscribers.
In addition, the subscriber may lose focus and forget his original task when dialing the number. For instance, a caller originally may desire to set a wake-up call. When she dials the system, the system may offer her several wake-up call options, guide her down several more layers of the menu, and then offer to take her back to the "main menu". If the subscriber makes a mistake while setting her wake-up call options, she will be taken back to the main menu where she will be re-offered several options again. If the subscriber has already been taken down numerous sub-menus, she may now be attracted by the offer to retrieve messages from her mailbox. Thus, the subscriber has been routed away from the original "task" of obtaining a wake-up call. This scenario, too, is wasteful and inefficient.
Finally, both consumers and telecommunications companies incur costs for using complex AVR menus. The length of time of an AVR telecommunications service call usually corresponds directly to the complexity of the AVR menu. Since consumers are charged for the length of telephone calls, the costs to the consumers for such calls are likely to increase with complexity. Similarly, service providers have costs associated with the provision of the telecommunications service. The goal of the service provider should be a fast and efficient method for providing telecommunications services through AVR menus.
The present invention overcomes many of the problems of the prior art by navigating a subscriber through a telecommunications service menu in a more direct and efficient manner than other systems. Specifically, the method and system of the present invention navigates the subscriber using a set of rules designed to facilitate the quick and methodical configuration of services. The telecommunications services menus provide a simple interface to the subscriber without the confusion normally associated with such menus.
The present invention is directed to a method and system for creating an automated voice response menu. These menus allow subscribers to configure a telecommunications service, such as call forwarding, voicemail, and caller identification. The subscriber accesses the menus by dialing a feature access code from his home calling line or by remotely dialing a special access number. The subscriber is then connected to a network element, such as a service circuit node, that stores several pre-recorded messages to be played for the subscriber. The messages are assembled into a menu based upon a "straight-line thinking" methodology that moves the user from a starting point to an ending point. The user is not permitted to veer from this path.
Each menu allows the subscriber to complete a task related to the configuration and/or use of a particular telecommunications service. Once the user has selected the task, he is only presented options for the completion of that task. Unlike other automated voice response menus, the user is not allowed to select options unrelated to the task. Moreover, the user is not allowed to select options returning the user to a previous menu. If the user has a mistake, the system will return the user back to the beginning of a particular task menu. The user is not allowed to make the decision to return to earlier options within the menu or to return to previous menus. This methodology allows the user to remain focused on a particular task and has the further advantage of expediting the telephone call.
Each menu includes a starting point and a completion point. The starting point is merely the entry point for the menu, such as a welcome message. The completion point represents the completion of the desired task. The menu further includes one or more required inputs. Each required input assists the system in completing the task. If a required input is not provided, the system will request the information again until a predetermined number of errors has been reached. The menu may further include one or more optional inputs. If the user does not provide an optional input, the system will merely complete the task and exit. If the user provides an optional input, the system may send the user to a second menu directed to a sub-task of the original task. The menu will not be directed to a second unrelated task.
In summary, the method and system of the present invention allows a user to quickly access an automated voice response system. In addition, the present invention reduces the confusion normally associated with such menus while improving efficiency and creating simplicity. The present invention also reduces costs to the user and the telecommunications service company by reducing the time spent by the user in navigating the menu. Advantageously, the present invention allows the user to plan for and complete a predetermined telecommunications services task without delay.
Accordingly, it is an object of the present invention to provide a method and system for creating an automated voice response menu that allows a user to quickly configure or use a telecommunications service.
It is an additional object of the present invention to provide a method and system for creating an automated voice response menu that reduces confusion for the user.
It is yet another object of the present invention to provide a method and system for creating an automated voice response menu that increases the user's efficiency.
It is a further object of the present invention to provide a method and system for creating an automated voice response menu that reduces costs for the user.
Finally, is an additional object of the present invention to provide a method and system for creating an automated voice response menu that reduces cost for the provider of a telecommunications service.
Additional objects and advantages of the invention will be set forth in part in the description which follows and in part will be obvious from the description or may be learned by practice of the invention. The objects and advantages of the invention will be realized and attained by means of the elements and combinations particularly pointed out in the appended claims.
Reference will now be made in detail to a preferred embodiment of the invention, examples of which are illustrated in the accompanying drawings. Wherever possible, the same reference numbers will be used throughout the drawings to refer to the same or like parts.
The network 20 includes a variety of interconnected network elements. A group of such network elements includes an end office which is indicated as service switching points ("SSPs" or "switches") 32 in
Each active calling line in an AIN is assigned a ten digit calling line number. In the description of the present invention, the term "calling line number" is used in its generally understood meaning to be the number which is dialed or input by a caller or source to reach a piece of terminating equipment on a calling line associated with the dialed calling line number. A calling line number is commonly referred to as a telephone number or a directory number.
The SSP 32 is connected to another type of AIN element referred to as a local signal transfer point 46 via a data link. Currently, this is a data link employing a signaling protocol referred to as Signaling System #7 ("SS7), which is well known to those skilled in the art. Much of the intelligence of the AIN resides in yet another type of AIN element referred to as a local service control point ("SCP") 50 that is connected to STP 46 over an SS7 data link. Among the functions performed by the SCP 50 is the maintenance of network databases and subscriber databases as represented collectively by databases 60. These databases may be used in providing the advanced telecommunications services described herein to a customer. The network 20 may include additional SCPs, including a backup SCP to be used when the primary SCP is out of service.
As illustrated in
A subscriber initiates a request for advanced service by dialing, for example, a feature access code. For remote activation of the advanced service, the caller may dial an administrative directory number. To accommodate these requests for advanced services, a preferred embodiment of the present invention provides for the recognition of a "trigger" at the SSP that is used in connection with the exemplary embodiment. The SSP 32 is provisioned with a feature activation ("FAC") trigger. The FAC trigger causes the SSP to pause and launch a query to a coupled SCP 50. In addition, each of the calling lines that may be used to request billing services at a particular SSP are provisioned with a termination attempt trigger ("TAT") in an idle state. When an advanced service is to be applied to a calling line, the SCP 56 provides the appropriate SSP with an instruction to change the state of the TAT trigger for that calling line from the idle state to an active state. The effect of a TAT trigger on a calling line in the active state will be understood to those skilled in the art as causing a pause at the SSP serving the calling line in the processing of any communication received on or directed to the calling line number. The SSP pauses so as to query the SCP and receive a response with instructions as to further processing of the communication. In this manner, the SSP obtains the instructions for applying the advanced service to the communication. When the service is to be removed from the calling line, then the SCP provides the appropriate SSP with an instruction to change the state of the TAT trigger for that calling line from the active state to the idle state. In the idle state, the TAT trigger does not cause a pause in the processing of a communication received on or directed to the calling line number.
When the subscriber dials the feature access code or the administrative number for the advanced service, the FAC trigger at the SSP 32 is encountered. This causes the SSP 32 to pause processing and send a query to the SCP 50. The SCP 50 searches databases 60 for a subscription. If no subscription is found, the SCP routes the call to the SCN 56. The SCN presents an AVR menu to the user. The user activates the advanced service by selecting the appropriate option from the AVR menu. The SCN then sends an X.25 message to the SCP to create a temporary subscription. The SCP creates the subscription and sends a request for an update to the SSP 32. The SSP 32 activates the TAT trigger on the subscriber's calling line and returns a message to the SCP 50 indicating a successful result. The SCP 50 sends a confirmation to the SCN. A confirmation is then given to the subscriber.
Once the subscriber has established a subscription for the service, he may configure the service as he chooses. The interface for configuring the service includes a group of AVR menus containing options that the subscriber may choose. These AVR menus are stored and provided through the SCN 56. A group of pre-recorded messages 80 are stored by the SCN 56. These scripts 80 are retrieved by the SCN 56 and then assembled together by a data assembly interface 58 to create a desired menu for a subscriber. The creation of an AVR menu will now be described.
The AVR menus for each service are task-based. Thus, the goal of each menu is to assist the user in completing a desired task. The task may be a complex task, such as establishing and configuring a service. The task may also be a simple task, such as retrieving voice mail messages. In either event, the goal of the menu is to direct the user from the beginning of the menu to the completion of the task in the fastest and most efficient manner possible. The user is not permitted to stray from the task.
Certain inputs 310, 314, 318 are required inputs, while other inputs 312, 316, are optional inputs. Required inputs represent data necessary to complete the task. Optional inputs are data points from the user that may provide more personalized service to the user, but are not necessary in the completion of the task. Once data inputs 310-318 are provided, the system can complete the task.
The menu also provides feedback at feedback points 320, 330 to the user. In
Menus are constructed according to a series of "straight-line thinking" rules. Once a task has been selected by the subscriber, the subscriber may not divert from the task during the course of a service call. In addition, the subscriber is only provided options available within the selected task (i.e., required and optional inputs). The subscriber is not provided options from other tasks. Nor is the subscriber allowed to select another task once a task has been chosen. If the user makes an error, the AVR menu may return the user to additional options within the task. The user, however, is not allowed to choose to return to an earlier option. When the lowest-order option within a task has been selected by the user, the menu exits. If additional sub-tasks of the primary task are requested (as optional inputs), the system will then present each additional input to the user as a separate sub-task for completion. If, however, the user does not desire to perform any additional sub-tasks, the system will exit the user from the menu. Preferably, at least 95% of the options selectable by the user within the task offer a binary decision to the user.
If the user requests date and time forwarding, the system will then embark on this sub-task.
The menu and its task completion goals present a simple interface to the user. The user simply provides the requested inputs and the system completes the task. Processing the service call, however, is a more complex process. Specifically, the involved SCN 56 and SCP 50 use call processing logic to achieve the goals of the user. The processing should achieve task-oriented and should provide a menu that complies with the rules above required for "straight-line thinking." This processing is invisible to the user. Thus, the user can quickly and efficiently reach the completion of the task.
If the user dials a ten-digit number at step 604, the system will check an internal database to determine if the user entered his own telephone number. If the number is the user's own telephone number but the user has not exceeded the number of allowable errors, the system will instruct the user that calls may not be forwarded to his home phone. The system will then ask the user to re-enter the number for forwarding calls. If the number of errors has been exceeded, the system will ask the user to try again later in step 636. The system then determines whether the dialed number is on the user's reserved list. If the number is on the reserve list, the system informs the caller in step 618 that calls may not be forwarded to that number. The system repeats the number in step 620 and asks the user to dial another number in step 622. If the number is not on the reserve list, processing continues at step 660 in
In step 660, the system informs the caller that calls have been forwarded to the specified number. Next, the system requests confirmation from the user at step 662. The confirmation is the second of two required inputs for the task of forwarding messages. In step 664, the system collects the digit from the user. If the user dials a "*" to cancel, the system will determine if the caller is a new user. Processing will then proceed as described above with respect to steps 638-640. If the user enters an invalid number or waits too long, the system will ask him to try again later in step 694 when the number of allowable errors has been exceeded. Otherwise, the system will inform the user in step 698 that the selection is not valid. If the user dials "2", the system will ask the user to try forwarding the calls again in step 684. The error count will be reset to "0" in step 686 and the system, in step 688, will request the forwarding number again. Control will then return back to step 600.
If the user dials "1", the caller's subscription is confirmed and the calls are forwarded in step 678. If remote access has been enabled, the caller may go on to specify the date and time for forwarding. If not, the system can embark upon another task to set up remote access call forwarding in step 682.
When the user specifies today or tomorrow ("1" or "2"), the system automatically goes to step 800 to determine the proper time for forwarding. When the user dials "3" for a specific date, the system continues on to step 730. At step 732, the system asks the user if he would like to stop forwarding his calls this month or next month. If the user dials a "*", the system returns back to step 700. For timeouts and invalid responses, the system behaves as described above with respect to the previous menus. If the user requests next month at step 738, the system requests the day of the month in step 754. This information is stored at the SCP. The system then asks the user when forwarding should be stopped at step 756. In step 758, the system collects the required input and proceeds to step 770. When the user specifies the current month in step 736, the system requests the day of the month in step 744. At step 746, the system asks the user when forwarding should be terminated at step 746. At step 748, the system collects the required input for the day of the month and stores them in the SCP. If the date has passed, the system 5 informs the user at step 752 and returns to step 744. Processing continues at step 770.
At step 770, the system determines whether the user has entered a proper date. If the user dials "*" to cancel, the system returns the user back to step 730. If no action is taken or an invalid action is taken, the system determines whether the allowable number of errors has been exceeded. If the number of errors has been exceeded, the system instructs the user to try again later at step 798. Where the user dials a number greater than 28 for February, the system first checks to determine whether the current year is a leap year. If the year is a leap year, control continues at step 800. Otherwise, the system informs the user that he has entered too many days for the specified month at step 786. The error limit is checked in step 788 and the system re-inquires about the month in step 799. Where the user dials "0" or a number greater than "31", the system informs the user that this command is not understood. Control then continues at step 788. For valid dates, the system continues processing the call at step 800.
At step 802, the system asks the user to provide the time of day. At step 804, the system collects another user input. If the user cancels the call by dialing "*", the system returns to step 700. For invalid responses or timeouts, the system responds as described above with respect to the previous menus. Where the user enters a valid time between 1 and 12, the system determines whether the user has entered "12". If the user has entered 12, the system goes to step 900 to determine whether midnight or noon is the correct time. If the user fails to enter a number between 1 and 12, the system returns to step 800. For other times of day, the system requests an A.M. or P.M. designation at step 816. The system then determines in step 826, whether the specified time has passed. If the time has passed, the system informs the caller that the time has passed and asks the user to try again. Flow control returns to step 800. If the time is valid and has not passed, flow control continues at step 850. For invalid responses to the A.M. or P.M. inquiry, the system in steps 830-834 responds as described above for previous menus.
In step 852, the system instructs the caller that calls will be forwarded until the specified date. At step 854, the selected time of day is stated. The user is allowed to confirm this information at step 856. These digits are collected at step 858. If the user enters an invalid number or the system times out, steps 870-872 are similar to the steps above for invalid responses and timeouts. If the user cancels by dialing "*" or "2", the system returns the user to step 700. Otherwise, the system stores the information and informs the user that the call has completed at step 868.
Where the user specifies "12" as the stopping time for forwarding, the system goes to step 900. At step 902, the system asks the user if the requested time is "noon" or "midnight". At step 904, the system collects digits from the user. If the user enters an invalid response, the system first determines whether the number of allowable errors has been exceeded. If this number has been exceed, the system asks the user to try again at a later time in step 928. If the number of allowable errors has not been exceeded, the system informs the user at step 932 that the selection is not valid. For timeouts, the system returns to step 902. If the user cancels by dialing "*", the system returns to step 800, which remains within the current task. If the user specifies midnight, the system, at step 922, informs the caller that he will forward calls until a specific date. At step 924, the system informs the caller that at the end of the day, the system will stop forwarding calls. For noon, the system first determines whether this time has passed at step 914. If the time has passed, the system instructs the user that the time has passed at step 916 and returns to step 800. If the time is valid, the system informs the user that calls will be forwarded until the specified day and further informs the caller that forwarding will cease at noon. For valid times, flow control returns to step 856 for confirmation another required input, from the user.

Mumbai, Apr 21: The Bombay High Court on Tuesday gave an ultimatum to municipal corporations across Maharashtra to come out with schemes to provide street-side toilets for women.
The division bench of Justices A S Oka and C V Bhadang was hearing a public interest litigation which highlights the lack of toilets/urinals for women in public places, especially the streets.
The High Court had in December directed all municipal corporations to come out with a solution but today the bench was informed that only Mumbai, Nagpur and Amravati corporations had taken some steps in this regard.
Irked, the bench directed the rest of the civic bodies to work out necessary schemes by June 19.
No further extension would be granted to implement the order, the judges said. The petition has been filed by `Milun Saryajani', a women's organisation.
Pune Municipal Corporation took various steps for providing toilets facilities for women in the city.
Impressed by its success, the HC has sought replication of the model in all cities in Maharashtra.

text: I had one and it has a flap with a magnetic button catch to secure it. Gun will stay secure. Pistol Wear holster (I had the "Trump Card" model) was pretty neat. I gave mine to a friend because 1) it is suited more for an active person (I am really not) and 2) I already have a Smart Carry which is basically the same thing without the cover flap. if you are active (jogging, bicycling, etc.) I think you'd be happy with it. It's light and airy and you can wash it when it gets sweaty or dirty.

I am looking for the same thing. Haven't found anything to my satisfaction. Costco has some higher end surveillance systems, but even those don't do exactly what you (and I) want.
Costco - Electronics - Security & Monitoring
I talked to a few people and the general consensus is do NOT buy wireless. Go with a wired solution. More trouble to set up, but much better quality and it doesn't interfere with other electronic equipment.
I will be watching this thread to see if anyone comes up with a good product.
