1. Field of the Invention
The invention relates to the field of communications and, more particularly, to communicating physical human interactions from one user to another over a communications network.
2. Description of the Related Art
Most human interactions that take place over a communications network take the form of electronic messages such as electronic mails or instant messages. Other forms of communication provide users with deeper levels of interaction. For example, the use or exchange of audio and/or video data over a communications network can provide an added level of realism and immediacy to communications.
Still other communication systems attempt to enhance user interactions by incorporating sensory stimuli such as smell and taste. One such system can be implemented as a computer system peripheral device that can be activated responsive to control signals received over a communications network. For example, when a user visits a Web site capable of sending appropriately formatted control signals, the peripheral device can activate. The control signals are sent from the Web site or other network location to the user's computer system. The computer system then routes the control signals to the peripheral device. The peripheral device emits the smell and/or taste dictated by the control signals to complement the Web site.
Complementary systems such as this, while adding a level of realism to a user's online experience, do not serve to enhance communications among users. More particularly, such systems are not bi-directional and typically are not activated by a user for the benefit of communicating an action to another user. In consequence, the ability of a user to convey physical actions or gestures over a communications network is limited. That is, the current state of the art does not permit users to send, receive, or exchange physical human interactions such as handshakes, embraces, or the like in any meaningful way.
The present invention provides a method, system, and apparatus for communicating physical human interactions over a communications network. More particularly, through one or more sensing devices, user motions, gestures, and other physical movements can be detected. The data generated by the sensing devices can be interpreted as a particular action that is encoded as a message. The message is sent to another system via a communications network. Upon receiving the message, the message can be decoded. The receiving system then activates one or more actuators which can simulate the action detected by the sensing devices. The inventive arrangements disclosed herein can be implemented to provide for a uni-directional and/or a bi-directional communication system that is capable of communicating physical human interactions between users.
One aspect of the present invention can include a method of communicating physical human interactions over a communications network. The method can include detecting physical movement of a user, generating data specifying the physical movement, and determining at least one action indicated by the data. The data can be generated by one or more sensors configured to detect physical movement of the user. The action can be transmitted over a communications network to a receiving system which can simulate the action. The action can be simulated by performing the action on a second user located at the receiving system.
The method also can include, after the determining step, converting the data to markup language formatted data. Accordingly, the markup language formatted data can be processed in the receiving system to identify the action. The markup language formatted data can specify at least one actuator movement to be implemented by the receiving system and an amount of force to be applied by the actuator or actuators. Thus, the simulating step can include activating at least one actuator to simulate the action on the second user. The simulation step further can include translating the action into instructions for activating at least one actuator and activating the actuator or actuators in accordance with the instructions.
The method further can include detecting physical movement of a user in the receiving system, generating data specifying the physical movement in the receiving system, and determining at least one action indicated by the data. The action can be transmitted over a communications network to a sending system, which can then simulate the action.
Another aspect of the present invention can include a system for communicating physical human interactions over a communications network. The system can include at least one sending sensor configured to detect physical movement of a first user and a sending message transmission module. The sending message transmission module can be configured to receive data from one or more of the sending sensors and determine an intended action. The sending message transmission module further can transmit the action to another system over a communications network.
The system also can include a receiving message transmission module. The receiving message transmission module can be configured to receive the action over the communications network and translate the action into instructions for activating at least one actuator. Thus, the system further can include one or more receiving actuators configured to simulate the action on a second user.
In another embodiment of the present invention, the system can include at least one sending actuator coupled with the sending message transmission module. The sending actuators can be configured to simulate, on the first user, actions originating in the receiving message transmission module. The system also can include at least one receiving sensor configured to detect physical movement of the second user. The receiving sensors can be communicatively linked with the receiving message transmission module.
There are shown in the drawings, embodiments which are presently preferred, it being understood, however, that the invention is not limited to the precise arrangements and instrumentalities shown.
The first interaction system 120 can include one or more sensors 105, one or more actuators 110, and a message transmission module (MTM) 115. Similar to the first interaction system 120, the second interaction system 125 can include one or more sensors 135, one or more actuators 140, and a MTM 145. The communications network 130 can be implemented as a local area network (LAN), a wide area network (WAN), the World Wide Web, the Internet, an intranet, the public switched telephone network, one or more wireless networks, combinations thereof, or any other suitable network over which information can be exchanged.
The sensors 105 and 135 can be any of a variety of sensors capable of detecting physical movement of a user. For example, the sensors can be motion sensors or sound sensors such as transducive elements or microphones. The sensors 105 and 135 also can be optical sensors capable of detecting changes in a user's facial expression or the motion of a part of the user's body or entire body. Other examples of sensors can include pressure or force sensors capable of detecting the amount of force applied to the sensor by a user.
According to one embodiment of the present invention, the sensors 105 and 135 can be incorporated into models of human hands or other body parts such as human heads and/or faces. A model, for example a model of a human hand, can include multiple sensors located throughout. The sensors can be placed such that when a user touches the hand model, for instance in the context of a handshake, the sensors can detect contact with the user's hand as well as the amount of force applied to the various portions of the model within which the sensors 105 and 135 are disposed. The sensors 105 and 135 can generate time varying data specifying the amount of force applied to each sensor over time as well as the particular locations of the model that force was applied. That is, each sensor 105 and 135 can send an identifier along with detected data that uniquely identifies that sensor. The sensor identifier can be associated with a known position within the model, such as the index finger, palm, back of the hand, or the like. Accordingly, the sensor data can be correlated with the activation of a particular sensor or set of sensors disposed within a particular portion or location of the model.
It should be appreciated that the sensors 105 can be included within any of a variety of different models, and that the particular type of model used, or framework for housing the sensors, is not a limitation of the present invention. For example, in one embodiment, the model can be a particular portion of the human body or the entire human body. Additionally, other sensors such as motion sensors and/or audio sensors can be disposed within the model, on the outside of the model, and/or in the same environment as the model, for example to sense ambient noise in a room. In any case, data generated by the sensors 105 and 135 can be transmitted to each MTM 115 and 145 respectively. The sensors 105 and 135 can each transmit data to MTM 115 and 145 respectively via wired or wireless communications links. If necessary, a signal mixer or routing system (not shown) can be incorporated between the sensors and the MTM's.
The actuators 110 and 140 can be configured to respond to control signals received from MTM's 115 and 145 respectively. The actuators 110 and 140 can apply force or cause a model to apply force, for example to a user, responsive to the received control signals. While each actuator can be implemented as a separate mechanism designed to perform a particular function, such as apply force to a user's back to simulate a slap or pat on the back, one or more actuators also can be included within a model of a human body or within a model of a portion of a human body.
For example, the actuators 110 and 140 can be disposed within a model of a human hand, a human head, or an entire human body. As such, each actuator or set of actuators can cause movement of the portion of the model within which the actuator is disposed. Accordingly, upon activation, the models can simulate physical actions of a human being such as the movement of a hand, a head, a particular facial expression, an embrace, or the like. Like the sensors 105 and 135, the actuators 110 and 140 can be communicatively linked with the MTM 115 and 145 respectively via wired and/or wireless communications links. A signal mixer or routing system (not shown), whether the same unit or a different unit as may be used with regard to the sensors, also can be incorporated between the actuators and the MTM if necessary.
Each of the MTM's 115 and 145 can be implemented as an application or program executing within a suitable information processing system, such as a computer, a portable computer, a personal digital assistant, or the like. The MTM's 115 and 145 can receive data from sensors 105 and 135 respectively. From the received data, each MTM 115 and 135 can determine the action that was intended by a user. The MTM's 115 and 135 can then encode the data to specify the user intended action. The action is forwarded as a message to another MTM for interpretation. Thus, a receiving MTM can determine which actuators to activate to simulate the received action.
In operation, a user can perform an action such as a handshake on a model of a human or a human hand. The sensors 105 disposed within the model can detect the portions or locations on the model to which the user applied force, the amount of force applied over time, and therefore, the duration force was detected by each sensor 105. Each sensor 105 can be configured to generate and send data when a force is detected. The generated data can specify a time the force was detected, the amount of force detected, and the body part (or sensor identifier) to which force was applied.
In illustration, if the model is a human hand, sensors 105 can be disposed in each finger, in the palm of the hand, on the back of the hand, or in any other portions of the model hand as may be required depending upon the level of granularity of the model and data to be produced. For example, a model can be built such that each finger has multiple sensors, the palm of the hand has multiple sensors, etc. When force is detected and a sensor is activated, the sensor can periodically send data, for example each second, or fraction thereof.
The data generated by each of the sensors 105 can be sent to the MTM 115. The MTM 115 then analyzes the received data to determine the action that was intended by the user. In particular, the MTM 115 can determine that, based on the sensors 105 that were activated, the force applied, and duration of the detected force, the intended action was a long-hard handshake, a soft-short handshake, or some other action such as a hug or pat on the back.
The MTM 115 can encode the received data into one or more messages having an intermediate data format for transmission over the communications network 130 to the MTM 145. The intermediate data format can specify the particular action that was interpreted by the MTM 115. According to one embodiment of the present invention, the intermediate data format can be a markup language suited for communicating human to human interactions, and particularly, physical interactions.
The MTM 145 can receive the message or messages from the MTM 115 and determine the action specified. The MTM 145 then can determine which actuators 140 should be activated to replicate or simulate the action received from the MTM 115. The MTM 145 can be programmed with rules specifying how to implement each particular action. Based upon the received action, the rules can dictate which actuators to activate, the time each actuator should be activated, the amount of force to be used by each actuator, and how the force varies over time. Accordingly, the MTM 115 can send appropriate control signals to each actuator 140 that is necessary to simulate the received action.
Taking the previous example, the MTM 145 can determine that the received action is a handshake. The MTM 145 then can determine the actuators necessary to simulate the long-hard, or soft-short handshake. The MTM 145 then sends control signals to each necessary actuator to simulate the action taken by the user interacting with the sensors 105.
While not shown, it should be appreciated that the system 100 can support two-way, or bidirectional communications. That is, a user that interacts with actuators 140 in the second interaction system 125 can respond with another physical gesture that will be detected by sensors 135 and relayed to the MTM 145, the MTM 115, and finally enacted by the actuators 110.
The system 100 can be implemented in any of a variety of different configurations. In one embodiment, each MTM 115 and 145 can be disposed within an information processing system and the respective sensors 105 and 135 can be implemented as separate mechanisms. In another embodiment, the sensors and the actuators can be combined into a more complex system, such as a robotic member or model that communicates with the MTM. In yet another embodiment, the MTM, the sensors, and the actuators can be included within a single mechanism such as a robot with information processing capability. Still, as noted, the system 100 can be implemented such that one or more of the elements described herein are combined into a single unit, while other elements, such as particular sensors and/or actuators, are disposed within a separate unit, with each being communicatively linked to the appropriate MTM.
For example, as shown, selections such as "touch the face", "shake hands", "touch arm", or "embrace" can be selected. Selection of a particular action can circumvent the action detection process so that the MTM automatically generates an encoded message, for instance using a suitable markup language, and sends the message to another MTM for execution. In that case, no interpretation of sensor data is necessary as the user directly specified a desired or intended action. Other processing tasks such as opening an audio channel and/or a video channel between the MTM and another MTM over a communications network can be selected and initiated as well.
Still, other known markup languages can be used and/or incorporated if necessary or desired. For example, Virtual Human Markup Language (VHML) can be used or incorporated, as well as any of the constituent parts of VHML such as Dialogue Manager Markup Language (DMML), Facial Animation Markup Language (FAML), Body Animation Markup Language (BAML), Speech Markup Language (SML), Emotion Markup Language (EML), and HyperText Markup Language (HTML).
As shown, the data hierarchy 300 begins with a root node 305 on the level 1. Level 2 specifies the possible range of human actions and/or interactions that can be conveyed through the system of
In level 4, each subcategory further can be divided into segments or portions of a model, in this case a model of a human hand, that must be activated to accomplish the action specified in level 3. Each portion of the model identified in level 4 can be associated with a sensor, or a set of sensors, for detecting human actions performed on that particular segment of the model. Thus, implementing a short-soft shaking 325 can involve at least activating the child nodes corresponding to the back-hand 330 portion of the model, the first finger 335 portion of the model, as well as any other portions of the hand model that may be necessary. Beneath each portion of the hand model, occupying level 5, are nodes 340 and 345 which specify time-force strings. More particularly, each of nodes 340 and 345 can specify one or more time values and associated force values, or ranges of time and force values, that indicate how long a particular level of force should be applied by an actuator responsible for activating the portion of the hand model indicated by the parent node of the time-force string node.
In level 4, however, beneath each specific type of action node, the particular actuators to be activated to perform the specified action can be listed. Thus, to implement short-soft shaking 425, actuators 430 and 435 must be activated. Each actuator 430 and 435 is activated according to time force string nodes 440 and 445 respectively.
It should be appreciated by those skilled in the art that the hierarchies depicted in
Below is an exemplary listing of Hypertext Human Remote Interaction Modeling Language (HHRIML) which illustrates some aspects of the hierarchies shown in
<HHRIML Version 1>
</ long-hard-shaking>
{[5, <1, 5, back-hand>, <2, 5 back-hand>, <3, 9 back-hand>,
<4, 9 back-hand>, <5,7, back-hand>]}
</ back-hand>
<first finger>
{[6, <1, 7, back-hand>, <2, 5, back-hand>, <3, 6, back-
hand>, <4, 5, back-hand>, <5, 7, back-hand>, <6, 6, back-
</first finger>
</shake hands>
While the type of information sent by each sensor can vary with the activity that sensor is designed to detect, in one embodiment of the present invention, the sensors can send information detailing forces detected by each sensor. For example, each sensor can be configured to send information packets formatted as (t, f, l), where t is the time a force is applied, f is the amount of force applied, and l is the location of the force. The time can be measured in any appropriate unit of measure such as seconds or fractions thereof. The location of the force indicates a particular sensor or group of sensors that were activated and sent data.
Accordingly, in step 505, the signals from the sensors can be received in the MTM of the sending interaction system. In step 510, the signals can be analyzed to determine the user intended action and to encode the intended action as a message using a target markup language. The MTM attempts to detect a user's high level intentions, such as shake hands, touch a particular part of the face, etc.
When no user action is performed, the MTM receives a small amount of data over time. When an action is detected, the MTM receives an increased amount of data. The MTM can determine when data corresponding to actions is being received by monitoring the amount of data, for example packets and/or bytes, and determining that when the data rate increases beyond a particular threshold, data corresponding to a user action is being received.
Accordingly, in step 515, the MTM can collect data during a time period within which increased data flow is detected. For example, during a time period starting at T1 and ending at Tn, data can be collected in the form of Ω=(t1, f1, l1), (t2, f2, l2), . . . (tn, fn, ln). It should be appreciated that more than one sensor can be activated at one time. Accordingly, the MTM can receive data from multiple sensors concurrently. As noted, each l in the data set Ω corresponds to a particular part of the body. Each node within level 2 of the sending data hierarchy illustrated in
In step 525, the nodes existing with each branch of the sending data hierarchy extending from the nodes identified in step 520 can be compared with the sensor data. The nodes of level 3 and 4 can be used to resolve any ambiguity as to which node of level 2 most closely corresponds with the received sensor data. By matching the data to the nodes of level 3 and 4, the specific action intended by the user can be identified.
In step 530, the determined action can be encoded using a target markup language. The time-force strings indicated by the received sensor data are encoded for each actuator or actuator set. In step 535, the encoded action can be transmitted over a communications network to a receiving interaction system. In step 540, the MTM of the receiving interaction system can receive and decode the encoded message. More particularly, the receiving MTM can parse any received messages specifying actions that are formatted in the target markup language. Thus, the receiving MTM can identify the particular portions of a model, and corresponding actuators, that must be activated to simulate the decoded action as well as the force to be applied by each actuator or set of actuators over a given period of time. Accordingly, in step 545, the actuators of the receiving interaction system that were identified in step 540 can be activated to perform or simulate the decoded action.
Recalling that the received sensor data can be in the form of (t, f, l), where t is the time a force is applied, f is the amount of force applied, and l is the location or body part detecting the force, the received sensor data defines the set of body parts involved in the detected action. Notably, the set of body parts involved in the action can be less than the body parts specified by the fourth level of the receiving data hierarchy. That is the number of body parts N* involved in a detected user action such as a handshake can be less than or equal to the total number of body parts N that can be used or sensed by the system for a handshake. The body parts indicated by the received sensor data can be represented as the set L*=(l*1, . . . , l*n).
In step 605, an initial standard distance can be set to the total number of all nodes in the fourth level of the sending interaction system data hierarchy (N). In step 610, the first node, for example the leftmost node, in the second level of the sending data hierarchy can be selected. In step 615, all of the nodes that are in the fourth level of the sending data hierarchy that are also within the branch that starts with the selected node are identified or collected. These nodes specify all of the parts that participate in the kind of human to human interaction specified by the selected node and can be referred to as the set L=(l1, . . . , ln).
In step 620, the distance between the selected nodes and the received sensor data can be calculated. The distance can be calculated as the total number of elements that are in L and not in L*, plus the total number of elements that are in L* and not L. In step 625, the calculated distance is compared with the standard distance. If the calculated distance is less than the standard distance, the method can proceed to step 630, where the selected node in the second level of the sending data hierarchy becomes the candidate node. If the calculated distance is not less than the standard distance, the method can proceed to step 635.
In step 635, whether the method has progressed from step 625 or step 630, a determination can be made as to whether any additional nodes to the right of the selected node in the second level of the sending data hierarchy exist. If so, the method can proceed to step 645 to select the next node to the right and continue processing to determine whether that node or any other nodes are candidates. If no further nodes are left to be processed, the method can proceed to step 640. Thus, in step 640, if a candidate node exists, that node can be identified as the intended user action. If no candidate node exists, then an error condition can be generated.
In step 715, the distance for the selected node can be calculated. The distance can be calculated by determining a distance measure for each child node (in level 4) of the selected node in level 3 and then summing the individual distances of the child nodes for the selected node. The set of forces received from the sensor data, denoted as F=(f*1, . . . , f*n), can be compared with the child nodes of the selected node. A distance value can be determined for each member of F. Each member of the set F can be compared with predetermined, allowable or average time-force strings of the sending data hierarchy. That is, the sending data hierarchy can specify allowable time-force strings as a series of one or more values, a range of possible values, or the like. In the event no match is found between a member of the set of forces F and the time-force strings of the sending data hierarchy, the distance can be set to the value of the member of F that was compared. For example, if force f*1 was compared with the time-force strings and no match was found, the distance for that member of set F can be f*1.
If a match is determined for a member of the set, the distance can be calculated as follows: [ABS(f*match−fmatch)/(f*match+fmatch)]*fmatch, where f*match is the force component of the sensor data that was found to match the force component in the sending data hierarchy and fmatch is the matching force component from the sending data hierarchy. Each individual distance calculated for the members of the set F can be summed. The total distance is the distance for the selected node, that is the node selected in step 710.
In step 720, a determination can be made as to whether any additional nodes in the third level of the sending data hierarchy have yet to be processed. If so, the method can store the distance and continue to step 705 to continue calculating distances for remaining nodes of level 3 in the sending data hierarchy. If not, the node in level 3 having the lowest distance can be selected as the user intended action.

Snoop Lion Featuring Drake & Cori B 'No Guns Allowed' [Video]
As congress bickers about federal gun control, Snoop Lion steps up to the plate and talks to the people about putting weapons down. This visual also features Drizzy & Cori B and will be featured on his "Reincarnated" album dropping April 23rd. Assault weapon ban is not likely, universal background checks is possible…who knows what legislation gets passed with this do nothing congress we have in DC. It's sad to say that another mass shooting can easily happen any day as things stand right now.

Closet Space - Part 1
A man juggles being possessed, having oddball creatures as roommates, and making the rent.
"Wekk up. I meck coffee."
I was pretty sure if I tried hard enough, the voice might go away. I remembered the futility of this tactic during my teenage years, and felt a tingle of irritability that even now, years later, that this maneuver was yielding the same results.
"Wekk up. Eez gud coffee. You weel like it, yais." There was a brief pause. "You haff beeg day. Wekk up."
I opened my eyes, grimacing at the sight. Standing beside me on the bed was a little humanoid that had a face that appeared to be a cross between a pug and a turtle. His mouth was beaklike, though a fine little row of teeth lurked beneath the surface. He was barrel-chested with four thick arms. He was also bandy-legged, with a bobbing, curlicued tail. He held a steaming mug, offering it toward me.
This creature was the sort of thing that would have sent the average person into a panic, screaming and grabbing for the first heavy object to heave in its direction. For me, he was simply an irritant that firmly believed in the platitude "Early to bed, early to rise". He was also, currently, one of my roommates.
I glanced at the clock on the wall. It was 5:45. "Brax," I groaned. "I still had fifteen minutes before the alarm was going to go off. Why are you waking me up now?"
"You haff whole day ahead to see," he replied, eyes gleaming. His broken English was a vast improvement to the garbled speech that he'd first spoken upon our meeting. It was better that he sounded like a Russian diplomat as opposed to a record being played backwards. But for the life of me, his accent left me fighting the temptation to ask him to say "Moose and Squirrel."
"No, Brax, I have work ahead of me, which is not something that I am excted about," I replied. I threw my sheets back, grumpy. I couldn't help my mood now. I was very fond of sleep. It was one of the few things in my life that actually brought me some joy.
"Haff coffee," Brax said cheerfully. "Eez gud."
I took the mug and gave it a dubious stare. It was dark and hot, and that was the only thing that I could ascertain. "Um, is this my blend or yours?"
"Eez peek-me-up."
I replied with a nervous cough. Depending on the blend, that could mean it was either a 'pick-me-up' or a 'pick-me-up-and-hurl-me-across-the-room-and-out-the-window'. "Mine or yours, Brax?" I repeated, emphasizing precisely what I thought of his blend.
"Eez yors, of gorse," he said with a merry laugh. "You haff weak constitution. I know theez."
I offered him a sour look and took a cautious sip. It was my coffee. Perhaps lacking a bit of cream, but otherwise in good shape. I placed the mug down and offered him a little nod.
"Abner eez makink you breakfast," Brax informed me as he clambered down from the bed. He gave me an indulgent smile as he noticed the blood drain from my face. "Eez okay, Frank. We haff brought fire extinguisher into keetchen jost een cayze."
"Great," I grumbled, and shuffled into the bathroom.
The shower was cold. I was used to these inconveniences because I lived in a two bedroom apartment with three otherworldly freaks that had no concept of the idea that the hot water will eventually stop being hot. That wasn't the only everyday concept that they struggled to grasp, and after a time, I had simply come to ignore their little flaws.
I stood at the sink, naked, and I shaved. My face was long overdue for a little grooming, but my lack of a social life had only made the neglect seem less important. I cringed with each stroke of the razor. After all, the only thing worse than a cold shower is shaving with cold water.
I was getting ready to mow down the last column of shaving cream when I felt a strange, swirling sensation in my head, and I felt the world around me go hazy. It was a strange feeling, as I said, but not an unfamiliar one. I stifled a curse in my mouth and simply let the moment take control. As I watched my reflection in the mirror, I noticed my eyes, normally dark brown, take on a silver hue.
I said I live in an apartment with freaks. I failed to mention that I was one of them.
'Hello, Jahaziel,' came the words from my mind, but they never left my lips. The angel that possessed my body had taken over and was simply allowing me to watch. The expression on my face was serene, and I felt a bit jealous. After all, serenity was a state of mind I'd never managed to achieve on my own.
"Greetings, Frank Garland. Be not afraid." It was my voice - the angel was hijacking my vocal chords, after all - yet there was a disturbing calmness in the voice as well. "I come bearing grave tidings."
'Glad tidings,' I thought quickly and anxiously. ' I know you said GRAVE but I'm sure you actually meant to say GLAD...right?'
There was a gentle smile on my face, but the eyes looked troubled. "Your sense of humor and anxiety are welcome, Frank Garland, yet I fear there is no joy in what is to come."

Police used mild force to control the agitating BJP activists in this joint capital of Punjab and Haryana even as the safforn party held protests across the two states against Union home minister Sushil Kumar Shinde's 'Hindu terror' remarks.
The protest in Chandigarh was led by UT BJP president Sanjay Tandon and the party activists shouted slogans against Shinde and demanded his immediate dismissal from the Union cabinet.
Chandigarh Police used mild force to disperse the irated BJP activists and took some of them into custody for violation of prohibitory orders imposed under Section 144.
Protests were held at several towns in Punjab and Haryana where BJP activists shouted slogans against the home minister and they also burnt his effigy at some places.
Reports of BJP demonstration came from Amritsar, Jalandhar, Patiala, Ludhiana and Phagwara in Punjab and Rohtak, Ambala, Karnal and Panchkula.

I write in my head a lot, and it's one of my favorite distractions. It's almost thrilling being able to totally lose myself in imagination. And I also think about how great it seems, how I'm going to transfer those thoughts into prose and actually write a decent story for the first time. But it never happens. The images start to fade, and for some reason I don't fight to get them back. I hold onto the parts I like the best, but eventually I lose that too. Sometimes I try to figure it out again, although it never comes together in the way it once did, and it feels like a small loss.
Something is rekindling my interest in creative writing. It's odd because I've always liked writing and stories. It seemed natural to merge the two interests and write them myself. But I always felt so self-conscious. I don't know why because most of the time I had no intention of actually showing my writing to someone else anyway. But I was hesitant to cast my thoughts onto something that could be seen, could be discovered by someone, anyone, who I didn't trust not to judge. I'd stuff journals into closets and under mattresses, password protect word documents, take all kinds of precautions, yet the insecurity and feelings of exposure never entirely went away.
So maybe for now, I need to practice building confidence.

Pack less. Be more.
Home › Forums › Gear Forums › Gear (General) › What do you think of the pricing on the ULA Arctic pack?
I'd like to know other people's opinions on this. When I first saw the price I was a little shocked. I was guessing they would be a little cheaper. After I thought about it a while,I decided to look up specs for the Dana Designs Racer X and the Raid Z. The Raid Z is the closest comparable thing I've seen to the Arctic pack. It weighs more and the hipbelt pockets are nowhere near as large as the ULA packs are. The Arctic pack comes with two bags while the Raid Z comes with one. The Raid Z is selling for around $200. I think the Arctic pack is worth the extra money. Especially considering the low numbers that will be made and the expert input that went into designing the final product.
@bearpawLocale: Southeast
Just compare it to something like the Arc'Teryx Naos series of dry bag packs:
The ULA packs give you two different bag sizes with a more functional and adjustable suspension system for more than a pound lighter and $200 less.
To me, it seems like a great deal.
@kdesignLocale: Mythical State of Jefferson
Absolutely. What Shawn said.
Sure, it's a chunk of change and a shocker compared to SUL pack prices. But it compares favorably, pricewise with many stock internal frame packs in it's size catagory from Mountain Hardwear, Granite Gear, Osprey, etc.
I personally think it's a relative bargain, given it's quality, features and small production run. I also think it will be an imminently resaleable pack (w/ low depreciation) on the off chance one finds it doesn't work for them.
@jasonklassLocale: Parker, CO
Well, I don't think the price is outrageous but I would sure like to see better pics or one in person before deciding if it's "worth it". If Brian is making it and Ryan is helping design it, I have no doubt of the quality ad think $300 (member price) is probably right on.
@kdesignLocale: Mythical State of Jefferson
More pictures and/or a 360degree "walk-through" such are available for some of the packs on the ULA site would not be a bad idea at all.
Hint, hint, Ryan and Co.
@jasonklassLocale: Parker, CO
Yes, I agree about the 360 view, but bigger.

- The way he shut down a reporter who wouldn't stop hassling him about his being cast as Batman.
Keaton: I don't get the importance. I was doing an interview, and the guy was going on and on about it, and finally I said, "Did you read the paper this morning?" And I wasn't being a smart ass, I was just being real. And he goes, he just said yes or no, I don't know. I said, "Do you know there are bodies literally, literally like a logjam floating down rivers in Rwanda right now from being hacked up and killed right now?" and he goes, "Oh, that's terrible " And I'm like, "Who gives a fuck who's going to be Batman?"
- The fact that Barack Obama is a fan of his (he greeted Keaton with "Why don't you make more movies?!").
- His Hidden Depths moments on the main page, especially where he says that he didn't care about preserving his status, he didn't want to be pigeonholed or typecast, he just wants to do what he loves (even if that means he never gets to be the "current groovy guy").
- His performance in Kenneth Branagh's Much Ado About Nothing (1993). He was very doubtful about doing Shakespeare and was sick as a dog for the whole shoot, but ended up being just about everyone's favorite part of the film.
- His victory over the people attempting to sue him over the debacle that was The Merry Gentleman.
- His role as Riggan in Birdman definitely counts - he's winning award after award, including a Golden Globe, and was widely considered the front runner to win the Oscar for Best Actor (although it eventually went to Eddie Redmayne).
- His portrayal of Batman also counts; when he was announced, fans were outraged, saying how casting Michael was the biggest mistake Tim Burton ever made regarding Batman. Then the movie came out and cue several people now seeing him as the best version of the character.
- His performance in Beetlejuice could also be considered this. He's the title character, but he's actually onscreen for less than twenty minutes and yet he still manages to completely own the entire film.
- His apology over his "Hidden Fences" gaffe at the 2017 Golden Globes (after his overly glib initial response to the controversy that was made while he didn't quite get what people were so upset about). It can easily serve as the gold standard for what a celebrity should do after a mistake like this.

Flower of Scotland
Serafina turned on her heel and left the room, Tarian and Azalia following her like lost puppies. The double doors swung shut with a low crash.
"Why didn't you tell him you think we're not good enough to be assassins?" asked Azalia.
"Because I don't think you're not good enough, I just don't think you're cut out for it," Serafina replied.
Serafina's phone started vibrating against her leg. She pulled it out of the pocket above her knee. She answered it and brought it to her ear.
"Hello?" she said into the phone.
"Hey, how you getting on in London?" said the female voice on the other side. It was Ryann Garnett, the leader of the Edinburgh Guild.
"Oh, hey, Ryann. It's all right, missing you lot though."
"They're amateurs aren't they?"
"See, Sera, I can read your mind over the phone too," she joked.
"As always, Ryann."
"We're all missing you, sweetheart. Especially Caradoc, he's missing you more than anyone."
"Ah, bless him, is he okay?" Serafina asked.
"He's dealing."
"Aw, good."
"Oh, sweetie, I need to go now."
"Okay, bye, love you."
"Love you too, bye." And she hung up.
Ryann Garnett wasn't Serafina Dagger's mother, but she was the closest she had to one. Serafina's parents had died when she was very young. Serafina Dagger wasn't even her real name; her real name was Alexia Fife. She was four when her parents died, young enough not to be too bothered but old enough to remember them.
Her father had been Aidan Fife, author and dedicated father, Serafina had loved him. Her mother was Leda Fife, loving housewife and mother. She had loved them both so much. But when they died, she was adopted by Ryann Garnett, a tall young woman with an air of someone ancient and wise. From an early age, Serafina had been trained in combat and fencing.
Serafina put the phone back in her pocket and turned to Tarian and Azalia. She smiled at them and bid them good night. She went back to her small room and sat down on the bed. She thought about Caradoc, he was her best friend, her only proper friend.
He was the only one who could see past the arrogance and to the true person inside. And she loved him for it. He didn't care about her overconfidence, or her flaws – such as her lack of respect for others and her ignorance of authority – all he cared about was what she was really like inside. She was a naturally argumentative person who liked reading and combative sports like fencing and kick-boxing. She was a very paranoid person, who carried daggers around with her everywhere; one strapped to her back, the other to her calf, which is where she got her name.
Caradoc on the other hand was the complete opposite. He was quite panicky in some situations and respected people who didn't need his respect. He liked having someone telling him what to do because he could never make decisions of his own. He conceded in almost every single argument he was in and hated combat. He was very trusting and only carried one weapon at any time: a small knife tucked in its sheath hidden in his sock. The only trait they shared was their love of reading. Not that they had much time for it. Most of their time was taken up by phone calls or paperwork or the job itself.
Serafina undid her sword's sheath from her belt and put it on the floor beside the bed. She lay down and thought of home. Only a week left in England then back home. She started singing quietly.
"O Flower of Scotland,
When will we see your like again?
That fought and died for
Your wee bit hill and glen.
And stood against him,
Proud Edward's army,
And sent him homeward,
To think again," she whispered quietly, her eyes closing and she drifted away into sleep, and dreams of battles and victory and her homeland.

EV sales strong in March, led by LEAF
Despite brutally cold weather in the first two months of 2014 for much of the US, electric vehicle sales improved by 25% over the same period last year (courtesy of Inside EVs). January and February set the stage for a strong month nearly across the board for EV sales in March. For the month 9,376 electric vehicles were sold, which represents a 17% increase over last March's 7,982 units.
March sales were highlighted by the Nissan LEAF, which moved 2,507 units in the month. Just shy of its own monthly sales record set last December, this represents a 12% increase over March of last year, the first month following a significant price cut. Nissan has sold 5,184 LEAFs year-to-date, which is a 46.5% improvement over last year's totals but is skewed by the price cut that didn't occur until after January and February of 2013.
The Toyota Prius plug-in model nearly doubled its March 2013 numbers, posting 1,452 sales that may have been inflated by vanishing HOV lane access stickers for plug-in hybrids in California. For the year, though, Toyota has moved 3,297 vehicles or 42% more than last year to this point.
Ford's plug-in vehicles continued their strong showing with 1,686 electric vehicles moved in March, posting sales of 899 for the Fusion Energi, 610 for the C-Max Energi, and 177 for the Focus EV. For comparison, the Fusion sold 779 in February and the C-Max sold 552 (and 494 and 295 in March 2013, respectively) while the Focus EV has dawdled in the one-hundreds every month since last January.
Please include TorqueNews in Google Alerts to receive tomorrow's stories and SHARE this with friends if it was interesting.
Tesla – well, they don't post monthly sales figures, so stay tuned for quarterly results. They also will begin exporting vehicles to Europe and China in increasing volumes, so US sales data won't paint the whole picture.
Expect BMW i3 sales to begin showing up in late April, as the first vehicles are just beginning to arrive via ship on American shores.
The Chevrolet Volt is the lone electric disappointment for the month of March. The Volt exactly equaled its March 2013 total of 1,478 vehicles. For the year, Volt sales are down 15% at just 3,606 units. After the slight decrease in sales from 2012 to 2013, the Volt is not off to a good start this year and looks like it could really use that 2nd generation model sooner rather than later.

Silvio Berlusconi has been challenged before by former political allies, like Gianfranco Fini, and survived. Maybe it's wish fulfilment, but this time it feels different. His party is in chaos after the handbrake turn he performed hours before he was due to face a humiliating split on a no-confidence vote. Having pulled five ministers out of government on Saturday and instructed his party to vote "in unanimity" against the government, 25 MPs from the centre-right Freedom People party (PdL) were reportedly ready to defy their leader by voting against and a similar number could have stayed away. His climbdown was curt and, maybe this time, conclusive. Whatever else happens, Mr Berlusconi is no longer in full control of his party.
This political crisis was entirely of his own making. It was about him. That was the whole problem in the eyes of his former supporters in the industrial north. The country is wedged firmly in the longest recession since the second world war, and they see their party leader playing games with the coalition, ready to tip up the board if he loses. A significant portion of his party could not see the justification for bringing the coalition down now, simply because the ruling centre-left party refused to delay a vote, due on Friday, to expel Mr Berlusconi from the senate. Everyone, from the financial markets to industrialists, told the ageing leader that an election now would be unpopular and change little. Italy needed a government that could carry out reforms.
For Enrico Letta, the scenes in the upper house of parliament were something of a pyrrhic victory. Mr Letta saw the revolt down but he did not achieve a real win. That would only have happened if Mr Berlusconi had gone ahead with his original project and lost. Mr Letta was certainly bolstered by the prospect of a split in the PdL's ranks, but until that definitively happens and a new centre-right faction is formed, the current coalition will limp on from one crisis to the next. Mr Letta's primary goal is to push through political reforms – such as changes to Italy's voting system, which would deliver decisive results and strong governments. With Beppo Grillo's Five Star Movement on 25% of the vote, Mr Letta can do little to reform Italy's electoral law without the centre right. So Mr Letta needs Mr Berlusconi to quit the political scene sooner rather than later. Meanwhile, he will not have endeared himself to those in his party who thought his coalition was about shoring up a corrupt, anti-communist, media tycoon.
So although one can see the beginning of the end of an era in which Mr Berlusconi has dominated the centre-right, until a modern pro-reform party emerges to displace Forza Italia that dream is still some way from fruition. Extracting Mr Berlusconi could still be painful.
