Re: What Animations Would You Want?[ Edited ]
I'd think that the " HUG " animation is long overdue on home. It doesn't have to be something where you interact with others, but just the motion of hugging so it looks realistic. I personally like to immerse myself into home as much as possible. So a realistic hug animation would be something I'd purchase in a heartbeat, price wouldn't matter all that much for that animation. I'd use it to greet all my best friends.
I know Jo already mentioned it, BUT I think there's a ton of us that have been waiting for this forever, much like we did for tv's and radio's. So I just wanted to double up on that post lol. The more people that ask, the more chance there is I'd guess
Re: What Animations Would You Want?
Re: What Animations Would You Want?
I'd like to see all the ones that we already have at a cheaper price. Oh, and separate the male and female dances. I have no interest in purchasing/using male items, so why should I pay for them?
Re: What Animations Would You Want?[ Edited ]
Joey is there any chance you could list the animations in the dance bundles released in Japan this week which we will be getting here on the 5th of June?
Re: What Animations Would You Want?
i'm on board with Regine__ 's suggestion. i've purchased a few animation packs, but it is frustrating to have to go through several steps to select between the animation packs when there's a certain one you want to find...and you have to disable whatever locomotion item you're using if you have it. i'm less inclined to buy more animations because of the inconvenience.
if all the packs one has purchased could be loaded into the animations/gestures selection screen and accessed from there...NOW i'd be interested in more animations. even if it means there's submenus (like organized by developer) to go through or there's a pause to load the pack, it's way more accessible than dealing with the Inventory screen.
i think the Home team might be wise to come up with an easier way to load and access animations before developers and Homelings get too heavily invested in new animation packs.
fwiw, here's an animation suggestion: hands covering face, shaking head from side to side. because that's pretty much the gesture i assume IRL whenever i bring up the Inventory or Wardrobe Save/Load screens.

I learned a great lesson this fall…when becoming really sick, something has to go and for this fall, it was just about anything that wasn't immediately pressing each day. The up side, I have a great back log of ideas just waiting to be shared!!
I also greatly appreciate the words from my friend Bethany…she said she actually likes some of the blogs that don't have posts every day because she knows when they do, they have something to say. Not sure she quite meant a two month hiatus but that's what it became and I'm taking her words at face value.
So today I do have something to say. In the midst of consumerism and my typical leanings away from big business and corporate greed, I have to give props to Toys R Us for one very particular bright spot! Whether it is for Christmas, birthdays, or just because you want to give a gift, the choice can be stressful. This can be even more so if you are buying for a child with special needs. Toys R Us offers a toy buying guide for differently abled kids. It offers concrete tips on questions to ask, realistic expectations, and how to consider a variety of elements that can best communicate to a child and his or her family that you were thinking about them and not just grabbing anything.
Oh how I wish the church had this much intentionality. We are getting better but too often we assume a one size fits all ministry for anyone with a disability. We forget they have differing abilities, likes, wants, needs, and preferences. I know, the store is trying to make a profit and the cynic in me realizes this. BUT… at least they recognize there is a need. They have had the conversation and are trying to offer what they offer in the best way possible. BTW- they even say at times NOT to buy things if it is not a good fit.
So for this season, if you are shopping for someone with a disability, be intentional.
Perhaps we can take just a little hope and model in our churches the same kind of thoughtfulness offered here.

By Kelly Olsen, Associated Press
SEOUL South Korea's telecommunications regulator said Wednesday that Apple can sell its hit iPhone in the country — potentially shaking up a cellphone market controlled by domestic manufacturers.
The development comes a month after Apple cleared the way to enter China's massive cellphone market as well. As part of its deal with wireless carrier China Unicom, Apple is expected to begin selling the phone in China in the fourth quarter.
The Korea Communications Commission approved the sale of the device at a meeting attended by its five commissioners, said spokesman Lee Sang-hun.
The introduction of the iPhone has been keenly awaited in South Korea, where the handset market is dominated by Samsung Electronics, LG Electronics and other domestic manufacturers.
Apple spokesman Steve Park said the company had no comment on the commission's decision and added that nothing was decided or planned on the iPhone's release in South Korea.
Local service providers, however, said they are in talks with Cupertino, California-based Apple regarding the iPhone.
"We will try to release the iPhone as soon as possible," said Yeom Woo-jong, a spokesman for KT.
South Korea's Yonhap news agency, citing KT officials it did not identify, said the company plans to start selling iPhones in South Korea next month.
Lauren Kim, a spokeswoman for SK Telecom, also said her company was in discussions with Apple.
According to Apple's iPhone website, the device is available in nearly 90 countries or territories.
South Korean law requires companies that provide so-called location-based services — such as the maps and directions on the iPhone — to obtain government permission, said Oh Sang-jin, director of the Korea Communications Commission's privacy protection and ethics division.
The commission decided that to facilitate the iPhone's entry to South Korea, local telecommunication service providers can obtain permission on Apple's behalf. The commission sought a "flexible way to apply Korean law to Apple's case," Oh said.

Jacob: Just another errand boy.
I gazed at the note. I had just a name and a phone number. Archer Houston. 832-555-6012. That's all the information I had.
Bill had refused to tell me anything else about this Archer Houston. He had simply told me to call him. I've known Bill a long time, and he doesn't know how to say anything without a joke coming quickly behind it. There was no joke when he spoke of Archer.
I put the note back down on the desk. I slid it to the side where it wouldn't be in my way. I would eventually call him, but I had to sike myself up first.
I turned my attention to the stack of employment applications in the center of the desk. I flipped through them, occasionally shaking my head, remembering all kinds of people that had walked through my doors.
The applications dated back to just a month after my partner died. There were many applicants in the office those first few weeks. Most didn't pan out at all. A few tried the gig for a few days. Others lasted a few weeks. The PI business isn't for everyone, that's for sure.
One guy lasted only a few hours, and I was the one that let him go. He was willing to try, but I just couldn't take it. The guy did not know directions. At all. And, a GPS only confused him further. To top it all off, he was a native Houstonian.
I picked up the phone, completely siked to call this Archer guy, knowing all too well that it was probably a waste of time.
I dialed the number, and I could hear it ringing. It rang three or four times, but he eventually answered.
"Archer Houston here."
The greeting gave me mixed feelings. I could tell he was smiling. You sound different if you answer a phone with a striaght face or a frown. But, there was something else in his voice. "Irritation" was the only word I could think of. I didn't think it was irritation toward me, though. He hides it well, I thought.
"This is Jacob Carter. I recieved your name and number from a friend of mine. Bill."
"Oh, yeah, I know Bill."
The irritation was completely gone. Whatever it was, he had been dealing with it right before he answered the phone. It is amazing what you can learn about a person by just listening to them over the phone.
"Bill told me that you are the person I am looking for."
"If Bill said that, we both know that I am probably not the person you are looking for, but what can I do for you, anyway?"
Okay, so he knew Bill well enough to know his personality beyond the superficial, and he didn't mind saying so, which probably meant he was a guy that had no problem speaking his mind. Archer Houston was sounding better everytime he opened his mouth.
"Well, I am a private investigator, and I am looking for someone to help me out here in the office, managing my clients alongside me. If you think you are the right person for this, I would like to meet with you. Can you come to my office?"

A forecast of the number of people and jobs that will be located in Greater Kansas City by 2040 is needed to predict residents' future travel needs.
According to MARC's economic model, the region can expect to be home to 2.5 million people and 1.5 million jobs in 2040, up from 2 million people and 1.2 million jobs in 2010.
Where will the additional 500,000 people live and work? Projecting this is the principal role of the Technical Forecast Committee. Local comprehensive plans show how land use is expected to change in the future. The land-use change model estimates which areas will actually develop or change by 2040. The forecast is further refined according to the expected effects of development plans, external forces affecting the region, community development goals, and potential changes in local policies.

Arkansas players select 6 team captains
FAYETTEVILLE, Ark. (AP) Arkansas' football team has selected six captains for the upcoming season.
Running back Knile Davis, quarterback Tyler Wilson, receiver Jarius Wright, defensive end Jake Bequette, linebacker Jerry Franklin and safety/linebacker Jerico Nelson have been selected by a team vote.
Davis led all Southeastern Conference running backs last season with 1,322 yards rushing. Wright was second on the Razorbacks with 788 yards receiving, while Wilson is battling sophomore Brandon Mitchell for the starting quarterback position vacated by Ryan Mallett.
Franklin has led Arkansas in tackles for three straight seasons, finishing with 100 tackles last season. Bequette led the Razorbacks with seven quarterback sacks last season and Nelson was second on the team with 87 tackles.
The Razorbacks open their season by hosting Missouri State on Sept. 3.

As the days pass, each seems to be packed full of surprises and responsibilities. I almost feel what they call "survivors guilt". I seem to be living more and more days like it never happened. Yes I still have short hair, havent lost the steroid weight, and my energy levels arent back to 100% yet... but ultimately its been nice to not let my mind wander, or wonder. Not everyone went through the process as easily as I did. So many others dealt with so much worse, and my heart goes out to them.
I had my first follow up with the ONC this week, and I love the fact that she doesnt want to use the PET scan as a diagnostic tool. A virus, an infection can set off all kinds of hot spots on those scans that would creat a whirlwind of painful tests, and un-necessary freaking out. A physical exam found no swollen lymph nodes. Now a CT is being scheduled in November to check out the ol' chest/heart area which is where the major tumor resided. (PAST TENSE) This means, NO SCANXIETY until after the wedding!
Cody and I have picked up where things left off in September 09 and are loving every minute of it.

I just had a very similar conversation with my doc regarding PET scans. Not much evidence that they have any real benefit in the absence of symptoms and they increase your radiation exposure. Her plan for me will be regular physical exams and anual chest X-rays.ReplyDelete

Caged, 10Mature
Walking back from Rilla's christening, I thought about asking Da why he always seemed to be somewhere else, when I was a child. In the end, I decided against it—I knew what the answer would be, anyway ("Anais, love, I was always there. Not as much as your mother, of course, God rest her soul, but then, she was your mother. I'd a living to be making, for the two of you as much as myself, and once your Nan got a bit older I had more to do 'round hers, so I'd some travelling to do now and again, but I was home a lot more than most men are, after they've married and started a family, why, your mother used to complain that I was underfoot…") and so on and so forth, ad nauseum, ad infinitum.
Since I didn't intend on talking about it until I threw up/the end of infinity, it made more sense to think of something else. Rich's mum—who'd nipped home in her plastic-looking, blocky little smart car, her pride and joy after Richard himself—opened the door for us as we were coming up the path, and ushered us all in whilst chattering animatedly about how lovely the service had been, and did we want tea or should she just open some wine, or was it a bit early, really?
It was Richard who insisted on opening the wine straight away. "I never thought I'd be anyone's godfather; I feel like celebrating," he'd said, giving me a meaningful look, and he was pouring champagne before his mum could even suggest tea again. I was touched when Mummy Ashbrooke came over with a glass of rosé for me—"You don't care for champagne, do you, dear?"—and before long, I'd had nearly 3 glasses of the same, with little more than a jam-and-cream drenched scone to line my stomach. It was in this moment that I, if you'll pardon the expression, got my Irish up; and in that frame of mind, went to find, well, my Irish.
"Would you mind if I had a look for my da?" I asked Richard's mum, who took an already half-asleep Rilla from my arms, and headed towards the Moses basket we'd set up in one of the smaller, out-of-the-way reception rooms. "I'll stay with her until you come back, dear, don't worry," she said, fairly beaming, and I headed expectantly for the back garden.
I was right. Before I even reached the roses that Richard's mum tended so carefully, I began picking up the gentle sound of Da's voice. The sound, which normally soothed or amused me, was, in my current state, downright infuriating.
"Da!" I barked, with none of the softness that had so lately been a part of my demeanour. With a quick glance in my direction, he hurriedly ended the call; I was close enough to hear a hasty, but genuine, "Love you too, darlin'," as he hung up, and that sent me into paroxysms of rage. Without thinking about what I was saying, I launched into the first of my accusations.
"How is it that you always find time to call her?" I demanded. "I don't remember you calling us every night you were away, when I was growing up."
To his credit, Da's tone only became softer, as he said calmly, "Anais, love, I rang your mother every night I was out on business. You were sometimes in bed by the time I had a chance, that's true enough, and you didn't always come to the phone when you were awake—but your mother got her nightly phonecall, don't you worry."
"What about when she was sick?" I insisted. "I was always in the house, then. I was always awake. You didn't call her every night. I'd remember." As I heard myself, the petulant child-ness of my voice, I tried to reign myself in; but by that time, my da had started to heat up, as well.
"I most certainly did," he said, just a hint of steel coming into his voice. "And you were not in the house every time I called, young lady, because I asked to speak to you more than once, and got told you were down at the stables." And, again to his credit, he didn't say it; I'd been less hanging around the horses, more hanging around the stable boys, from the time I was about 13; but just because he didn't say it, didn't mean he wasn't aware, and I was sure I could feel the censure coming off him in waves. Right at that moment, I'd had enough censure from my (apparently) absent father.
I want to make an excuse for myself, for what I said next. I want to, but I can't see what excuse there is. Even as I said it, I knew how uncalled for it was; I knew it wasn't true, I knew I was saying it just to hurt him, I even knew I was really just a little too tipsy and emotional and was lashing out; and yet, I said it anyway.
"Don't you dare accuse me of abandoning Mum to chase after boys!" I shrieked—which he'd in no way done. "Just because you feel guilty for gallivanting all over Europe while your wife was dying, you can't blame me for not looking after her! I was a child!" And, like every hysterical drunk before me, I began weeping. Loudly. And did I mention, hysterically.
In the coldest tone I have ever heard my father use, he said quietly, "Anais, you're the worse for drink. We'll not talk about this now. Go inside, and calm yourself down." And with that, he turned on his heel, and marched away from me. As he reached the patio doors, he said, not warmly, but less frostily, "I'll look after Rilla until you've settled."
And then he walked inside, and left me wailing in the garden.

The following patent application assigned to the assignee of the present invention and filed concurrently herewith, covers subject matter related to the subject matter of the present invention: WEB SITE MANAGEMENT IN A WORLD WIDE WEB COMMUNICATION NETWORK THROUGH REASSIGNMENT OF THE SERVER COMPUTERS DESIGNATED FOR RESPECTIVE WEB DOCUMENTS BASED UPON USER HIT RATES FOR THE DOCUMENTS, Carroll et al. Ser. No. 09/506,237.
The present invention relates to computer managed communication networks such as the World Wide Web (Web) and, particularly, to the management and effective operation of Web Sites from which Web documents, such as Web pages and Web programs, are distributed in response to user requests.
The 1990's have been marked by a technological revolution driven by the convergence of the data processing industry with the consumer electronics industry. The effect has, in turn, driven technologies which have been known and available but relatively quiescent over the years. A major one of these technologies is the Internet or Web related distribution of documents including media and programs. The convergence of the electronic entertainment and consumer industries with data processing exponentially accelerated the demand for wide ranging communication distribution channels, and the Web or Internet, which had quietly existed for over a generation as a loose academic and government data distribution facility, reached "critical mass" and commenced a period of phenomenal expansion. With this expansion, businesses and consumers have direct access to all matter of documents including media and computer programs. In addition, Hypertext Markup Language (HTML), which had been the documentation language of the Internet or Web for years, offered direct links between Web pages. This even further exploded the use of the Internet or Web.
Web documents are provided from a Web distribution site usually made up of one or more server computers which access the document from a resource database in response to a user request sent over the Web through a Web browser on the user's receiving Web station. Significant Web distribution sites are made up of a plurality of server computers coordinated through a primary one of said servers. Such significant Web distribution sites usually serve large institutions such as corporations, universities, retail stores or governmental agencies. These distribution sites may also provide to smaller businesses or organizations support for and distribution of individual Web pages created, owned and hosted by the individual small businesses and organizations.
In such Web distribution sites, each of the Web documents or pages are assigned to one of the server computers which supports and distributes the respective Web documents or pages. These server computers are usually of different computer powers. The above-referenced copending application covers a system in which hit rates for the Web documents distributed through the site are monitored and server computer resources are allocated to meet surges in hit rates for the various Web documents by designating the server computers for said respective Web documents based upon said rate of user hits. The server computers of the most computer power are designated for the Web documents having the highest hit rate. This permits some optimizing of server computer resources at the Web distribution site.
Because of the rapidly expanding potential of Web documents and the varied consumer and business demands for a wide variety of data from Web documents, it is not unusual for hosts or owners who control the contents of many source Web documents to change such contents on a daily if not on an hourly basis. Of course, Web document content may be varied dramatically from simple HTML text to relatively complex animated images using the JPEG format. Thus, a Web document which is completely manageable by its designated server today may be greatly upgraded tomorrow so that its designated server may be strained to virtual inoperability.
The present invention provides a system whereby the Web distribution site may automatically monitor the Web documents for significant changes in content and adjust its applied server computer resources to effectively cover such changes in content for the various Web documents managed through the distribution site.
In its broadest aspects, the present invention provides a Web server system for accessing said stored Web documents from resource databases and transmitting said Web documents onto said Web comprising a plurality of server computers of different computer powers at a resource location, and a plurality of stored Web documents, each accessible from said resource database by a designated at least one of said server computers.
The system also has means for determining a document weight for each of said plurality of Web documents which include means for counting the total number of bytes of data representing the content of each of said documents, means for assigning a complexity weight to programs in each of said plurality of documents, and means for multiplying the byte total for each Web document by the complexity weight of the Web document. Based upon said document weights, the system provides means for designating the server computers for said respective Web documents. The system may be set up so that the means for designating the server computers designate the server computers of the most computer power for the Web documents having the highest document weight.
The host or owner of the Web document may change its content at any time. Thus, the system provides means for periodically redetermining the document weights for each of said plurality of documents, and means for redesignating said server computers for said respective Web documents based upon said redetermined document weights.
The portion of said data representing the content of each of said documents preferably has an HTML format while the portion of said data representing the content of each of said documents has an JPEG format.
The present invention will be better understood and its numerous objects and advantages will become more apparent to those skilled in the art by reference to the following drawings, in conjunction with the accompanying specification, in which:
Referring to
A central processing unit (CPU) 10, may be one of the commercial PC microprocessors; when the system shown is used as a server computer at the Web distribution site to be subsequently described, then a workstation is preferably used, e.g. RISC System/6000™ (RS/6000) series available from International Business Machines Corporation (IBM). The CPU is interconnected to various other components by system bus 12. An operating system 41 runs on CPU 10, provides control and is used to coordinate the function of the various components of
Where the computer system shown functions as the receiving Web station, then any conventional Web browser application program, such as the Netscape Navigator 3.0™ or Microsoft's Internet Explorer™, will be available for accessing the Web pages from the Web to the receiving station. A Read Only Memory (ROM) 16 is connected to CPU 10 via bus 12 and includes the Basic Input/Output System (BIOS) that controls the basic computer functions. RAM 14, I/O adapter 18 and communications adapter 34 are also interconnected to system bus 12. I/O adapter 18 may be a Small Computer System Interface (SCSI) adapter that communicates with the disk storage device 20. Communications adapter 34 interconnects bus 12 with an outside network enabling the computer system to communicate with other such computers over a local area network (LAN), e.g. the related server computers at the Web distribution site or through the Web or Internet. The latter two terms are meant to be generally interchangeable and are so used in the present description of the distribution network. I/O devices are also connected to system bus 12 via user interface adapter 22 and display adapter 36. Keyboard 24 and mouse 26 are all interconnected to bus 12 through user interface adapter 22. It is through such input devices that the user at a receiving station may interactively relate to the Web in order to access Web documents. Display adapter 36 includes a frame buffer 39, which is a storage device that holds a representation of each pixel on the display screen 38. Images may be stored in frame buffer 39 for display on monitor 38 through various components, such as a digital to analog converter (not shown) and the like.

Before going further into the details of specific embodiments, it will be helpful to understand from a more general perspective the various elements and methods which may be related to the present invention. Since a major aspect of the present invention is directed to Web documents or pages transmitted over global networks, such as the Web or Internet, an understanding of networks and their operating principles would be helpful. We will not go into great detail in describing the networks to which the present invention is applicable. For details on Internet nodes, objects and links, reference is made to the text, Mastering the Internet, G. H. Cady et al., published by Sybex Inc., Alameda, Calif., 1996.
Any data communication system which interconnects or links computer controlled systems with various sites defines a communications network. Of course, the Internet or Web is a global network of a heterogeneous mix of computer technologies and operating systems. Higher level objects are linked to the lower level objects in the hierarchy through a variety of network server computers. These network servers are the key to network distribution, such as the distribution of Web pages and related documentation. A combination of such computer servers function at Web distribution sites to access requested Web documents from resource databases and to distribute such accessed documents to the requesting receiving stations over the Web. Web documents are conventionally implemented in HTML language, which is described in detail in the text entitled Just Java, van der Linden, 1997, SunSoft Press, particularly at Chapter 7, pp. 249-268, dealing with the handling of Web pages; and also in the above-referenced Mastering the Internet, particularly at pp. 637-642, on HTML in the formation of Web pages. In addition, a general and comprehensive description of browsers may be found in the above-mentioned Mastering the Internet text at pp. 291-313.
A generalized diagram of a portion of the Web for illustration of the Web distribution site of the present invention is shown in
The system embodiment of
The Web site distribution elements used in the implementation of the present invention are made up of primary Web resource computer server 59 connected to the Web 50 which manages the other secondary Web resource computer servers: secondary resource server (1) 42, secondary resource server (2) 43, secondary resource server (3) 44 and secondary resource server (n) 45. These servers are respectively assigned to support and service Web page (a) 46, Web page (b) 47, Web page (c) 48 and Web page (n) 49. These secondary servers function in response to Web document requests or hits to access the source Web page 46, 47, 48 or 49 from its respective resource database and have a copy of the accessed source page sent via the Web 50 to the requesting Web station 57. As will be described in greater detail with respect to the programs described in
In standard Web distribution sites, the owners or hosts of the Web documents serviced through the site have full control over content and, thus, can significantly change the document content at any time so that the server resources servicing that Web document may become sufficiently strained that the document is no longer adequately supported by the designated server computer. The present invention periodically recalculates the document weights of illustrative Web pages 46 through 49 in
As a general rule, and for purposes of this illustration, the secondary server computers are reassigned to Web pages on the basis that the Web document at the Web distribution site with the highest document weight will be assigned the secondary server with the most computer power and so on. However, this general rule will not always be strictly applied. Under certain circumstances two or more server computers may be assigned to a Web document based upon the combination of a high document weight and a very high hit rate, as described in the above cross-referenced copending Carroll et al. Patent Application. Under other circumstances two more Web documents, because of combinations of relatively low document weights and low hit rates, may share a single server computer.
In any event, the present invention involves the monitoring and periodic redetermining of document weights and the redesignation of the server computers for the Web documents based upon such redetermined document weights. The periodic redetermination of Web document weights and reassignment of the secondary server computers based on document weights is carried out in the primary Web resource computer server 59 with programs to be subsequently described.
The periodic monitoring and reassignment of servers is preferably done in the CGI (Common Gateway Interface) of the primary Web server computer 59. The CGI in the primary server 59 controls communications between server and resources. The CGI controls Web site server and Web page interactivity. CGI functions are described in the Microsoft Press Computer Dictionary at pp. 85.
Now with respect to
Of course, hosts of Web documents are continually permitted to change the content of their documents at any point in time, step 78. Thus, a routine is set up to periodically recalculate the number of bytes in any changed Web documents, step 79, and a process like that described with respect to step 74 is set up for assigning a complexity weight for all Web documents in which the program content has been changed, step 80. Then, step 81, set up a process like that described above with respect to step 75 for redetermining the document weights for any documents the contents of which have been changed in steps 79 and 80.
The redetermination of the Web document weights as described in steps 78 through 81 for documents having changed contents is set up to be repeated on a regular cyclic basis, step 82. Where the operating system in the server computer distribution system used is a Unix or an AIX type, the periodic sampling may be done through a Unix system routine known as a "cron-job", scheduled and carried out with the operating system's "cron" facility which is described in greater detail in the text AIX/6000 System Guide, Frank Cervone, 1996, McGraw-Hill Companies Inc., New York at pp. 215-222.
A simplified run of the process set up in
The process is set up so that the periodic cron routine will be run on a regular cycle, step 91. We start the routine with a determination as to whether the last document has been sampled, step 92; if Yes, then the computer servers are redesignated for the Web documents based upon any changes in document weights which appeared in this cyclic iteration, step 100, and the present periodic iteration in the cron cycle is ended. If the decision from step 92 is No, we are not at the last document, then step 93, a determination is made as to whether the content of the next document has been changed. If No, then the process branches back to step 92 via branch "C". If the decision from step 93 is Yes, the document has been changed, then the byte content is recounted, step 94, and the count stored, step 95, after which a further determination is made as to whether any program in the Web document has been changed or a new program added, step 96. If step 96's determination is Yes, then a new complexity weight should have been assigned to the program, step 97. Irrespective of whether step 96 was Yes or No, the new document weight is redetermined, step 98, the new document weight stored, step 99, so as to be available for the above-described redesignation of server computers at the end of each cyclic iteration as previously described in step 100, and the process branches back to step 92 via branch "C".
One of the preferred implementations of the present invention is in application programs 40 made up of programming steps or instructions resident in RAM 14,
Although certain preferred embodiments have been shown and described, it will be understood that many changes and modifications may be made therein without departing from the scope and intent of the appended claims.

Very nice assortment of weapons Groovy Mike. I like the way you have staged each one to make a better picture. Especially the one on the moose.
You may have already done this, but I recommend that you write the serial number of each on the picture and put them in a safe place. Make a list of each of your firearms, their serial numbers and any other distinguishing marks. Put them with a picture and save them. Should one of them ever be stolen, you will have good documentation to give to the authorities.
It's also nice just looking at pictures of your rifles. I really need to take lots of pictures of my customs from every angle. Especially since one of them doesn't have a serial number.

David James has insisted he still has an international future, despite dropping down to the second tier of English football in moving to Bristol City.
The goalkeeper, who turned 40 yesterday, lost his England place to Rob Green at this summer's World Cup, only to be recalled after one match following the West Ham player's mistake against the US in Rustenburg.
"You could argue that playing in the Championship means that you automatically exlcude yourself from selection," James, who harbours hopes of adding to his 53 England caps in next week's friendly with Hungary, said. "I haven't changed as a goalkeeper over the summer. If my work has been good enough then that shouldn't exclude me from selection.
"I feel good in myself physically, feel good in myself mentally. The thought of retirement is far away. The experience of the World Cup gave me a new lease of life." James could make his Robins debut against Millwall this Saturday.

Free Crow Wing County immunization clinic set for sixth-graders
A rule change requires students entering the seventh-grade to have two immunizations and Crow Wing County is providing vaccine for free.
Now all the April 2 free shot clinic needs is about 1,000 sixth-graders.
"We want to help parents get their students ready for next year," said Gwen Anderson, health and social services division manager.
With whoopping cough outbreaks in recent years and cases of meningitis, changes are adding pertussis (whoopping cough) to the current tetanus/diphtheria vaccine and adding a meningococcal meningitis vaccine.
Through federal funding, the county is getting the vaccine for free and won't be charging for the shots. The vaccines may be used for children regardless of insurance coverage.
Whooping cough can pose a serious threat to infants and newborns. People who may not be sick themselves can carry the illness to an infant. Health officials are pushing for broader use of the meningitis vaccine because cases of meningococcal disease can be so severe. The county reported many who get the disease die from it and many others are affected for life.
Tetanus causes painful muscle tightening and stiffness in the body and is sometimes called lockjaw because muscles are so tight in the head and neck people can't open their mouths. According to the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, tetanus kills about one in five people infected. Diphtheria may cause a thick coating to form in the back of the throat, leading to breathing problems, paralysis, heart failure and death. Whooping cough can cause severe coughing spells, which can lead to weight loss, incontinence and rib fractures. According to the health department, up to two in 100 adolescents and five in 100 adults with pertussis or whooping cough are hospitalized or have complications like pneumonia.
Diphtheria and pertussis are caused by bacteria and spread from person to person, typically as individuals cough or sneeze, the health department reported. Tetanus enters the body through a wound such as a cut or scratch.
"Before vaccines, the United States saw as many as 200,000 cases per year of diphtheria and pertussis and hundreds of cases of tetanus," the health department reported. "Since vaccination began, tetanus and diphtheria have dropped by about 99 percent and pertussis by about 80 percent."
In addition to protecting students and potentially others they come in contact with, the county reports it benefits from the mass shot clinic by working with other emergency preparedness partners in practicing its plan for a public health emergency.
In this way, the Crow Wing County Community Services Health Division is able to be better prepared for a real public health emergency like the H1N1 vaccinations in 2009. To that end, the Minnesota Department of Health is paying for the free clinic through an emergency preparedness grant.
All Crow Wing County sixth-graders are invited to take advantage of the free clinic. The free clinic is planned from 1-6 p.m. April 2 at Forestview Middle School in Baxter.
Since this is also a mock public health emergency exercise, the county noted there is also a public service component to participating students and their families by helping agencies prepare for a real event. Anderson said the clinic for sixth-graders will appear seamless for community members, but behind the scenes health care providers will be able to practice their roles.
The free clinic is a unique event in the county's immunization history in order to encourage as many sixth-graders as possible to attend. Students may get one vaccine or both, depending on immunization needs.
Assisting the county health department with the exercise are Brainerd, Crosby-Ironton and Pequot Lakes school districts, Essentia Health, Cuyuna Regional Medical Center, North Memorial Ambulance, Brainerd Lakes Surgery Center, the sheriff's department and community services, along with volunteers.
Anderson noted all the partners working with the public health department for the event. She said: "It really is the framework of how we can respond in an emergency."

Assistant Professor
Kwangwoon University Co., Ltd.
From 2014-2015, I was a senior engineer at Software Center (SWC) of Samsung Electronics in Suwon, Korea, and worked for Tizen OS. I received my Ph.D. degree in computer science from Seoul National University in 2014 and B.S. degree in mechanical and aerospace engineering from Seoul National University in 2007.
Research Interests
I'm interested in a wide range of topics about various types of movements and their underlying mechanisms, in from virtual environment to real-world.
Physically-Based Character Simulation
We haven't seen a game with fully-simulated characters although the character control technique has been dramatically advanced for recent 10 years. Even state-of-art controllers cannot deal with every situation a character might meet and are not enoughly robust to be employed by such real-time interactive commercial products. I strongly believe there is much room for improvement of those techniques.
Understanding Human Body / Movement
Recent progress of simulation / control techniques allows us to further understand humans. For example, we can simulate human walking with musculoskeletal system and estimate importance of each muscle. This approach can be valuable for relevant areas such as biomechanics or medical field. More understanding of humans also allows us to enhance movements of virtual characters or humanoid robots.

Real-World Robots
From IT companies to general public, robots are getting more attention these days. Based on my experience on controllers in virtual world, I look forward to having chances to make real robots exhibit various movements. I want to answer to these questions: What do we expect to robots? Should they walk like human? Otherwise, how should they move?
3D Printable Design
3D printing is getting more popular and its applications are getting wider. Now 3D printers can print toys, food, bicycles, automobiles, parts of a jet engine, and building blocks for a house. It's lowering the entry barriers for manufacturing, thus enables more hardware start-ups. I believe we're seeing the beginning of a new era of designing, prototyping, and manufacturing. From a research point of view, there are plenty of chances to improve the technique and create novel systems / applications using 3D printing.
Virtual Reality / Augmented Reality
Virtual Reality / Augmented Reality
VR / AR technologies are interesting contact points between virtual environment and real-world. I believe they have potential to change the way we live our lives. My questions are: How can we improve the feeling of reality with VR/AR devices? What would be their killer applications other than games? How can we improve user experience with such devices?

Engineering Interests
Additionally, I'm interested in dealing with practical engineering problems with which one can easily face in development process in IT industries. I'd like to call some of them as my "engineering interests".
High-Performance 3D Rendering
For embedded systems on hand-held devices, seamless user experience is required. A graphics system for such devices should show high performance enough to support such seamless experience with least power consumption.
Development & Management for Libraries
Writing code for libraries for products is a totally different task from writing code for research. The code should be much more robust, handle all of the exceptional cases, and have enough test code. Public APIs should be carefully selected, since one should always consider backward compatibility on source and binary level once the API is opened.
Super-Easy Application Development
The competitiveness of a platform is directly related to how many apps are available on it, how many developers are writing apps for it. I'm interested in developing the easiest application development process / environment in which even a novice user can make a commercial-level apps.
Effective Co-Working through Network
The world is getting more and more connected, and it's also true for development processes. We're facing more and more chances to work with co-workers at different locations on the earth. I'm interested in how to maximize such co-working effectiveness using cooperative development tools such as git or gerrit.
Scripting to Remove Unnecessary Repetitive WorkFocusing on their key competitiveness is always important for every person and company. But there usually are repetitive tasks that spend our time instead of focusing on key factors. With several years of intensive experiences of Python script language, I'm always trying to remove such tasks by writing scripts.

A father who killed his eight-week-old baby by crushing her skull when he was left in charge of her for just 20 minutes has been told he must serve a minimum of 13 years in prison.
West Yorkshire Police confirmed Richard Barnes was found guilty of murdering baby Grace today at Leeds Crown Court.
Senior officers called the case "a tragedy".
Jurors heard how Barnes had secretly drunk whisky and vodka before he was left with his daughter.
After she suffered the devastating injuries, he went out to buy more alcohol rather than call an ambulance.
Barnes, 27, caused the injuries in November last year at the family home in Crowther Street, Castleford, West Yorkshire.
Prosecutors told his trial it was still unclear how and why the Haribo sweets machine operator inflicted the head injuries from which Grace died four days later.
A pathologist concluded Barnes either kicked or stamped on the back of her head, or he may have crushed her skull by pressing it against a hard surface such as a floor.
The jury heard there were no concerns about Grace's care during her short life and the family home Barnes shared with Stephanie Rudd, his partner since 2006, was "spotless".
But Barnes had a drink problem which he hid from Ms Rudd and he secretly drank at least four miniature bottles of whisky, two vodka miniatures and two beers before the attack on Grace.
The court heard how he filmed himself in his bathroom drinking two whiskies that lunchtime, saying "pretty strong is that" before belching loudly.
After the attack, he went to buy two more miniatures rather than ring 999, the jury heard.
Ms Rudd was away for 20 minutes while she drove her mother home.
As soon as she got back, Barnes called out to her saying he clashed heads with Grace after she was sick while he fed her.
Later, he told his father Kevin: "I've fallen on her dad."
In court he claimed their heads collided as he went to put her over his shoulder to prevent her from choking on her own vomit.
Ms Rudd's mother had scolded Barnes about drinking a beer before he was left in charge of Grace, the jury heard.
Prosecutors said it was possible he may have been frustrated by this and also at being called home from a Christmas shopping trip with friends to look after this baby.
"Did his temper boil over and did he take it out on Grace?" Richard Mansell QC, prosecuting, told the jury.
But, in a statement read in court, Ms Rudd said: "Richard has only ever been brilliant with Grace and me since she was born. He is a very proud dad."
They remain in a relationship, the court was told during the trial.
Barnes denied murder but was found guilty by a jury after a short deliberation. He was jailed for life by the judge, Mr Justice Cooke, who ordered him to serve a minimum of 13 years before he is considered for release.
After today's hearing, Detective Superintendent Paul Taylor, who led the police inquiry, said: "This is a tragedy for the family, who are devastated by their loss.
"I am relieved for them that the court process has come to an end."

Get the Clarets newsletter
19:37 9th May 2010
Burnley made sure they exited the Premier League stage with a top-of-the-bill performance as they produced a thrillingly defiant win over Champions League-bound Tottenham to secure 18th-place in the table.
In a game reminiscent of last season's Carling Cup thriller, the Clarets again came back from the dead to stun Spurs with breath-taking fightback capped by three goals in 32 glorious second-half minutes.
Brian Laws' side had trailed Tottenham 2-0 after little more than half an hour as they threatened to head back to the Championship with their tails between their legs.
But in a marvellous show of spirit they pulled one back through Wade Elliott just before half time.
And then in a performance that matched any of their efforts in the heady early months of the season, the Clarets tore Tottenham apart after the break to score through Jack Cork, the outstanding Paterson and super-sub Steven Thompson.
Ultimately it was all too little too late to alter Burnley's fate. But 23 years to the day since Burnley had to beat Orient to stay in the Football League, it was a display that was good enough to overhaul Hull City to bank a further £800,000 and raise hopes for the battles to come next season.
With Leon Cort out injured, Andre Bikey had earned a re-call and his first start since March for the finale.
But the Clarets' re-shuffled defence was breached after just two minutes as Spurs stamped their authority on proceedings right from the off.
Wade Elliott starts the fightback
A long ball from Younes Kaboul allowed Aaron Lennon to display his frightening pace and when the England man got beyond Danny Fox he squared for Bale to ram home a left-footed shot which Fox was unable to block on the line.
Burnley responded with Paterson crossing for David Nugent to head down to Cork whose shot on the turn was comfortably saved by Ben Alnwick.
However, with the slim chance of catching Arsenal for third place still alive Tottenham didn't ease off and after Peter Crouch had headed a Bale corner over the top they doubled their lead with 32 minutes gone.
Bale was involved again but the goal owed all to the quick feet and explosive finishing of Luca Modric, who burst into the penalty area, tricked his way past Steven Caldwell and thundered a left-footer into the top corner.
Champagne moment from Jack Cork
A superb run of nine wins in their previous 11 games had propelled Tottenham into Champions League qualification and even without hitting top gear they always carried a threat.
But the Clarets hung in and three minutes before the break lifted Turf Moor with a fantastic goal to claw their way back into the game.
Graham Alexander started the decisive move with an excellent pass out wide to Fox and when the ball was worked back via Fox and Cork to Alexander, the midfielder, who outshone his opposite numbers in the Tottenham ranks, slipped a pass into the feet of Steven Fletcher.
Martin Paterson fires the Clarets ahead
The Clarets' striker then by-passed Tottenham's stellar back line with a neat flick which allowed Elliott to dart into the box and steer the ball past Ben Alnwick for his fourth goal of the season.
Elliott's previous three goals had all brought some reward with a winner against Everton and equaliser against Fulham being followed by his free-kick special in the Clarets' only away success at Hull.
Burnley were desperate to continue that trend but within a minute of the second half they were almost faced with a two-goal deficit again as Spurs instantly turned defence into devastating attack.
Modric nicked the ball off Fletcher and released Defoe for a run at the Burnley defence which had them stretched to breaking point before Defoe released Lennon for a shot which hit the far post.
Steven Thompson ends it in style
But with a much better pace to the game Burnley showed they would not slip quietly out of the top flight as they replied with a flurry of chances of their own.
Nugent set the tone with a lung-bursting run through the middle which was stopped by Ledley King's last-gasp tackle, the ball breaking for Paterson to fire in a low shot which Alnwick saved with his feet.
Fletcher then twice went close as Alnwick saved from the Clarets' top-scorer before an excellent cross from Paterson saw Fletcher volley just over the top.
But Burnley had Tottenham rocking and with 54 minutes gone Laws' side deservedly levelled when Paterson was again the provider with another peach of a delivery which Cork headed firmly past Alnwick for his first goal in a Burnley shirt.
Mutual appreciation society
The home supporters responded accordingly and in a cup-tie like atmosphere the Clarets continued to pour forward in search of a third goal as they looked to go out with a bang.
Again the Tottenham defence was parted by Nugent's ball out to the rampant Paterson who fizzed a crossed to the far post where only King's last-ditch intervention denied Fletcher a fully merited goal.
It was magical stuff from the rejuvenated Clarets and with 19 minutes to go they went ahead in remarkable fashion.
Fletcher and Paterson were involved again with Fletcher donning the mantle of creator this time with another clever feint and pass beyond the far post where Paterson gleefully rammed home his fourth of the campaign.
King then headed a Lennon corner against the bar at the other end but with Robbie Blake and Thompson coming off the bench to a heroes' welcome, Thompson added a fourth three minutes from time, touching in an Elliott shot to continue his late scoring burst and end the season as it started at Turf Moor with a memorable win.
Burnley: Jensen, Mears, Bikey, Caldwell, Fox, Alexander, Cork, Fletcher (Thompson 86), Paterson (Eagles 90), Nugent (Blake 79), Elliott. Subs: Duff, Jordan, McDonald, Weaver.
Tottenham: Alnwick, Bale, Kaboul, Huddlestone (Palacios 64), Lennon, Modric, Crouch (Gudjonssen 85), Defoe (Pavlyuchenko 62), Dawson, King, Assou-Ekotto. Subs: Bentley, Jenas, Bassong, Walker.

Valentine's DayMature
It was Valentine's Day, and she was with her best friend. Stephanie, for once in her life, was sure that nothing would stress her out for at least twenty-four hours. And then she set her hair on fire.
Stephanie woke up. Her first thought was a hope that it wasn't past eight. She had intended to wake up early.
She rolled over onto her back and let her arm flop to the floor, scrambling about for her mobile.
"Oh, for-" sighing, Stephanie opened her eyes and rolled completely off of the bed and onto the floor.
"Steph, what are you doing?" Kira, Stephanie's twin, was leaning against the bedroom door and looking amused. She threw a green lace dress at her sister, and it landed on her face. "I'm borrowing your red one, so we're swapping for today."
"Fuck you, Kira."
"You too," Kira grinned and twirled in an unnecessary circle, just to make the skirt of Stephanie's dress billow out. Then she made a catwalk of the hallway as she walked to her own bedroom.
Stephanie sighed and stood up, holding Kira's dress out in front of her at arm's length. It looked tiny. It was tiny. About four inches shorter than her own, in fact. The sisters has been to the shop and bought different versions of the same dress, but only now did Stephanie realise just how different the versions were.
She put on the outfit. She tried it with four different bras, but it just made her wish that her breasts were smaller. The lace hugged her at the waist and flowed down, but not far enough. That could be solved with tights. Even the amount of cleavage exposed could be tolerated. It was flattering rather than revealing.
The sleeves were short, that was the problem. On her own dress, the red one, they weren't. It had been an intentional detail. She should have kept her hair long.
Stephanie went downstairs into the kitchen.
"You look lovely, darling," her mum, Laura, commented with a smile, but the glance at her daughter's scars wasn't missed.
"Mum, don't."
"Look, Steph, it's not your fault you got burnt," Laura tried for what seemed the millionth time. "You were little. And nobody is going to notice, anyway."
Laura, technically, was right. Stephanie didn't have a boyfriend to spend this valentine's day with. She was spending it at her best friend's house, and Laura pointed out that she needn't have even dressed for the occasion.
Stephanie didn't care. The scars spread cross most of her right shoulder and arm, and were not attractive. Not to her, not to her best friend, not to anyone. She knew that.
Kira, on the other hand, was spending the day with her boyfriend of just over a year. He didn't really approve when she wore revealing clothing, that was why she and Stephanie had needed to swap.
The sisters stood opposite each other, exactly the same in height and build. They were both beautiful.
Stephanie swept Kira's waist length black hair to the side. "You should plait this."
Kira nodded in agreement and glanced up and down Stephanie's body. "You should wear the wedges with the strap."
They regarded each other's matching flower headbands, and acknowledged that they had both opted to wear contacts instead of glasses. "Good choice."
They smiled and hugged.

I take this challenge seriously, to write about you, d.f.m.; to write about how we met. And I'm honored that you've selected me and that maybe you call me friend.
To write this I've had to the beginning… to the first bit of writing I found of yours. 'Planned For You' it is called. I enjoyed it and left a one word praise: "Splendid". (Splendid is a good word, you know, and fun to say.) This story was filed under Chick Lit, Humour, Romance. The two on either side I never read and never write. But I enjoyed your story. And it inspired me. I see now that it has been continued farther than my last read… I shall have to go discover what interesting developments have come along.
So we talked a bit of collaborating, but our busy lives prevented it. Do you still want to do that sometime?
And I started a story, a Chick Lit and Romance, that hasn't gotten off the ground yet, except in my head. But I'm thinking of writing a play.
Oh, and I almost forgot, one of my more embarrassing moments on Protagonize. It was a rare moment when I did not pay close attention to the dates, (I assure you, I'm always very careful now), I must have just seen that d.f.m. had posted few stories and received few ratings, and so I assumed that she was new to the site and I welcomed her to protagonize. Actually, she'd been around for 4 months longer than I had! Most embarrassing.
Closing thoughts on d.f.m.:
She's a good poet and kindly challenged me on the Poetry Battle thread.
I've always wondered what she meant by the "from Ontario, soon to be elsewhere, Canada"… but never asked. Where are you going d.f.m.? I think this made me more intrigued by her because I myself, though my profile always says "from Canada," actually spend much of the year at school in the States, and I'm moving there for real this summer, which will be strange.
Well, now it is my turn to pass the baton on to some of the writers here who I have enjoyed writing with. I see others have written about their personal writing journeys, so I shall write one sentence about mine, then leave the rest of my post about others. I love to write stories, but I'm an extrovert, and protagonize has opened to me the doors to the wonderful thing call collaborative writing, where I no longer must write alone.
I'll start with Jillian. Hers was the first story I wrote on: The Story That Ends. We had a ton of fun with that one, and lots of other authors joined, but we haven't yet gotten to the end. I think I'll go continue it soon. Anyhow, Jillian was very welcoming, and then she got busy publishing a book, which is fantastic! But we miss you, Jillian. Or, I do at any rate.
aryst0krat is another friend of mine on here. I like his witty style. We've chatted about books together, particularly Artemis Fowl, and then we e-mailed back and forth about writing a story together, which we have finally started. I am excited to see where it leads.
And, this is so hard—to only pick 3, but I should also like to thank Tasha Noble. She was so kind and welcoming to me, and we've talked about cats, and collaborated on some stories. And I am always impressed with the quality of her writing… whatever genera or style she picks, she is always so good!

I lay there on my side, still. I watched at the scene below. Three assassins and me. Three assassins and Deanna Macpherson. And nobody else.
I always felt that something about you, Den, was fishy. Especially when it came to your sister, and what happened so long ago. But for some reason things had not clicked in my mind until then. It was the worst moment possible to realise it all. I was being hunted, and if I had not the skills of speed, caution and good fortune, there was nothing left to be said.
I must not give myself away. Lowering my head behind the soft blue pansies, turned to pools of purple in the moonlight, I suppressed an overwhelming sneeze. I recovered by dint of squeezing my eyes up and squaring my stomach somewhat painfully.
But that pain was of no importance. I realised this triviality as one of the men looked straight at my pansies. My blood chilled and icicles crunched in the capillaries of my fingers. A little pain did not matter, so long as I could get away alive. It was good that I was a practised sleuth. Sleuthing would help me now. My earlier life prepared me for this moment, surely.
Tears sprung from behind my eyes as my mind blurred with memories of my earlier life, but I blinked them back angrily. I had left the pain behind, the sorrow and the desolation. I had made my life gay and happy again. Hadn't I? That had been my decision. I could never forget, and yet I had tried not to let it affect my life too much. It would not have been what my family would have wanted, had everything been normal, as in other families.
I immediately thought of you, Den. Again. Your family is not normal. In fact, your family is not unlike my own. To the contrary, your family has taken a different attitude to your tragedies. Your family has brooded in its dark and unkempt home for five time three hundred and sixty-five days and more. My family has re-conjured its happiness, though to a lesser level in camparison with previous times.
Presently the three men moved away down the alley. But I was not safe yet, as I was painfully aware. Raising my head I glanced at the roof above me. I calculated that I should be able to get up to it. It was not very steep, surely, and I felt myself to be agile enough. I just hoped it would not be slippery. It's damp at this time of year, as every time of the year in Douitchurch.
As I wriggled out of my socks, quite soiled by then, regretting my decision to come out without shoes of any kind in favour of the quieter method, I heard a sound behind me, sounding queerly like a cat falling off a fence. I froze.
A minute later I turned my head and, sure enough, a sleek black cat slunk eerily across the yard, fixing one chilling yellow eye on me. A true witch's cat, if such is their existence.
I gave a sigh of relief, for I like cats, however supernaturally inclined they might appear. I am not in the habit of believing in fairytales or the paranormal. I accompanied my sigh with a quick shiver, recalling some strange sounds I have heard since I met you, Den. I scolded myself mentally for that shiver. In any case, I told myself reassuringly, those yellow eyes were very unsettling, and highly assured to make anyone shiver.
Made careless by this experience of a false alarm, I chose not to delay any further, and hauled myself into sitting position in my hanging flowerbox, praying that it would not give way and drop from the wall onto the porcelain tiles of the yard below. I eyed the crushed pansies a little mournfully as I took a step onto the roof tiles, supporting myself via the old-fashioned iron drainpipe standing erect parallel to the wall. The flowerbox swung a little, but I did not heed it.
That was my mistake.
A split-second later I felt a cold metal blade sink into the fleshy part of my left thigh. I looked around in panic, but no potential saviour was forthcoming from the dark shadows. Even the black cat had slunk away on some lawful or unlawful occupation, as the case may be, of its own, leaving me to my fate and my pain.
The next moment the chains of the flowerbox broke, and I fell, toppling off the roof tiles. The mosaic in the yard was a solid landing, and the impact jarred my brain. So I lay still, the smithereens of the smashed flowerbox making a winking aura about my still body. And I felt a growing pool of dark red paint dying the tiles with startling rapidity.
And the blue-cloaked murderer stooped down beside me, robbed my pockets of the few copper pennies I carried as a matter of course, and vanished into the black still night; the silent sleuth who slayed dark-haired dark-eyed girls of some connection with Den O'Derron.
And then stars flashed through the blurriness, the little light faded, the pain englufed my reason and I felt my thoughts slip away into oblivion.

Dive bars. They hold a special place in the hearts of many. Come as you are, drink cheap, and have a great time. Although not always my cup of tea, I've definitely had some great times in the local dives. These classic Key West watering holes hit the spot when you want to kick back without care.
Captain Tony's
The site of the original Sloppy Joe's where Hemingway used to hang is located right off Duval Street on Front. It's a dark hole in the wall with pool tables, the occasional live musician, and walls lined with memorabilia. Named for a much-loved and somewhat infamous Key West character, Captain Tony's is a great spot for some trouble. It's one of Captain Westy's favorites. We like to grab the benches around the unused fireplace and if we're feeling frisky we'll order up a round of the house specialty rum punch. They're tasty with a distinct pineapple flavor and they come in cool souvenir cups!
Chart Room
This little hideaway is tucked into the Pier House Resort. It's small, dimly lit, lacking ambiance, but flush with peanuts, free hotdogs, and a fun dice game. Things get silly at the Chart Room. Sit at a large round table with your friends and order up a round of Jack & Cokes or some bottled beers and play Ship, Captain, Crew. All you need is the dice and a bunch of dollar bills.
Green Parrot
There's nothing secret about the Green Parrot, one of the most loved and frequented bars amongst locals and tourists alike. Whether it's live music on a Saturday night, midday beers, happy hour, or closing it down at 4am, the Parrot is always full of surprises. My favorite memories have been quieter nights with a good group of friends playing darts, drinking beer, eating popcorn, and of course a few rounds of root beer barrels!
