Like many of you out there, it took me a good long while to warm up to the idea of an e-reader. For starters, I was never a big reader growing up and my enjoyment of reading didn't come until after college, when I could actually read for fun. Additionally, I love turning pages and having a book in hand. But the more I thought about it, the more I learned how practical an e-reader is and loved the portability of multiple books all loaded to one device. So, I decided an e-reader would be my big item for my Christmas Wishlist. So thankful I got the Nook Tablet for Christmas (thanks mom and dad). My first read for 2012 was Tina Fey's Bossypants.
It was absolutely hysterical and a great read. If you love 30Rock like we do, you'll find yourself hearing Liz Lemmon's voice in your head. Well, I guess that just means you're hearing Tina Fey's voice in your head…but it made the book that much better.
I would definitely suggest it to anyone looking for a light read.
The thing I love about the Nook?? I can download another book immediately! I don't have to wait until I find time to go to the bookstore, all the books are right there, just a download away. So right after I finished Bossypants I downloaded my next read, The Hunger Games. You see, I woke up last weekend at 7:30 and couldn't go back to sleep. Which is a real shame, but not the topic of this post. Josh wasn't up yet and I wasn't quite ready to be up so I grabbed my nook, curled up in bed next to Josh and Pierre, finished Bossypants and dove right into The Hunger Games. I wasn't sure if I was going to like the series, so I only bought the first book…didn't want to make an investment if I wouldn't finish the series. Well, that turned out to be a mistake because I'm loving this book so far. I go straight to reading in the evenings and have loved the story thus far.
One last thing I LOVE about the Nook. You can read magazines and a "flip" of the page is simulated on screen. Think of all that paper you save by reading magazines virtually.

It is in the Door Panel. When you unbolt the Mirror from the door, Follow the Wires and there should be a little Clip inside your door Panel Just Press in the Tab and Pull it apart and feed it thru the Same Hole the Wire is going thru.

In the third, two walks and an error loaded the bases, but Whitlock induced a groundout to get out of the jam. Two Ohio singles resulted in another scoring chance for the Bobcats in the fifth, but the another ground ball out snuffed that rally. And in the sixth, two walks and a hit again loaded the bases, but a routine fly to centerfield retired the side.
Whitlock allowed six hits and walked four, but balanced that with six strikeouts in moving to 5-3 on the season. Brendan Bergerson pitched a flawless ninth inning to sew up the win.
Whitlock was the beneficiary of some early WVU offense that gave him room to breathe from the start. Adam White got things going in the first by walking, moving to second on Tyler Kuhn's hit, then later scoring on Austin Markel's sacrifice fly. One inning later, Trent Ridgely's leadoff double put him in scoring position, and after moving to third on a bunt single from Vince Belnome, the DH scored on a fielder's choice.
After the Bobcats tallied their lone run in the bottom of the inning, West Virginia broke out with three more runs in the top of the third. Kuhn led off the inning with a double (WVU's third consecutive inning with a leadoff hit), then scored on Justin Jenkins' single to center, which extended his school-record hitting streak to 32 games. Markel sacrificed him to second, and Jordon Yost followed with a blast that cleared the left-centerfield wall to make the score 5-1.
WVU added a run without benefit of a hit in the seventh by utilizing aggressive baserunning. Jenkins walked, stole second, then stole third in a double steal with Markel, who also walked to get aboard. Ridgely's fielder's choice then plated Jenkins for the final run.
Both teams missed several scoring opportunities, as the Mountaineers left ten runners on base and the Bobcats nine. Kuhn and Belnome had two hits apiece for West Virginia, while Jenkins had three of West Virginia's six stolen bases. Ohio DH J.T. Osbourn was twice caught stealing.
West Virginia (22-11, 5-6) continues its road trip on Friday with a stop at Notre Dame for a three-game Big East conference series.

Stocks sank after the government reported a decline in factory orders and a slight rise in pending home sales, and ahead of week filled with news on jobs and earnings. Microsoft and Intel fell, JPMorgan rose.
Gold prices are conquering new highs, and investors without exposure to the precious metal may be wondering where to start. Gold stocks are a risky but potentially profitable way to buy gold. The stocks can offer as much as 3:1 leverage, but picking the right ones is tough. ...A report from TheStreet.
Headwinds appear to be gusting down Wall Street. Do the bulls have enough power to keep running?
Here's why you should keep a close eye on these six stocks.
The buzz at the Denver Gold Forum is decidedly bullish. The invitation only conference in the mile-high city brings together miners, investors and hedge fund managers including Victor Flores, Vice President at Paulson.
Gold prices are now within striking distance of the $1300 an ounce — marking a $300 rise, an almost 28 percent return in one year, and nearly quadruple the gains of the broader stock market. No wonder the push to own the precious metal has become so pervasive.
See what's happening, who's talking and what will be making headlines on Thursday's Squawk on the Street.
Gold is trading at a record high near $1,270 an ounce as investors continued to flock to the safety of the precious metal. How should investors play the commodity? Frank Lesh, senior sales and market analyst at FuturePath Trading and Will Rhind, strategic director at ETF Securities shared their best plays.
The first thing to realize is buying gold is the same as making any other investment decision. First you have to figure out what kind of investment you are looking for: value, growth, conservative, or risk. ...A report from TheStreet.
See what's happening, who's talking and what will be making headlines on Tuesday's Squawk on the Street.
Stocks rebounded heading into the final hour of trading Wednesday, threatening to snap a four-day losing streak. The Dow was higher, finding firmer footing above 10,000.
Gold vs. technology—which is a better play between now and the end of the year? David Katz, CIO of Matrix Asset Advisors, and Frank Holmes, CEO and CIO of US Global Investors, shared their insights.
Stocks slipped Friday in quiet summer trading as the closing bell neared after several reports on the economy did little to improve the mood of investors and the market continued on track to record its worst week since the week ending July 2.
Stocks ended the week down sharply, with the major indexes down as much as 4 percent in the worst week for the markets since July 2. Retail drops.
U.S. stocks were lower Friday after several reports on the economy did little to change the overall picture for investors.
Stocks closed lower Thursday, continuing a losing streak amid light volume and continued worries over the state of the economy. Cisco skidded, Verizon rose.
Stocks continued a losing streak Thursday heading into the close, amid light volume and continued worries over the state of the economy triggered by the latest batch of economic data and comments from Cisco that customers are hestitant about a recovery. Cisco skidded, Verizon rose.
Stocks rose across all sectors on Monday, led by telecom, utilities and consumer staples. Paul Schatz, president of Heritage Capital and Eugene Peroni, senior vice president and portfolio manager at Advisors Asset Management discussed their market insights.
Copper quietly put in a bottom on June 7 and is now up more than 20 percent from that low. If history is any guide, the stock market should follow.
What follows is a roundup of corporate earnings reports for Wednesday, July 28.

You will win! But, you must let Jason tell you what to do. If you let him...you will win. If you don't listen to Jay…well then you'll lose. In my opinion, all winners feel like losers and all losers feel like winners with this slick city lawyer! He just came to the one horse town of Fredonia! I lived there once or twice. Quaint little town in the daytime and loud attractions at night; make this town unforgettable. Downtown that is…not in the politically small neighborhoods where formed alliances are planning their revenge.
A regular Hatfield's and McCoy's kind of neighborhood at times. My home town is less than a mile from Fredonia~ they're connected. On another note: Do yourself the favor...and don't get all chit chatty with him ( that behavior takes his focus off of your case and his wife gets jealous. Unfortunately, with the wrong women. Wait to bond with him and his family until after he wins your case. That way, he can focus on the issue at hand.
Thirdly, If you don't want to do what he says...then things in court may not turn out in your favor. Think about it…He is an attorney with good credentials…trust him or dump him quick and replace him with someone outside of this area or there is going to be a conflict of interest that the court will allow. This is a hard court ( to say the least) and they allow a lot! Then, they will talk about your rights! Lmao

Last season left us with a notable cliffhanger, but the opening scenes did not really end with the way we had hoped. This episode's cliffhanger surely will as Debra now knows who Dexter truly is. This is an interesting dynamic now and for a sure that appeared to be on its last legs (or on Dexter's table, to put it more appropriately) last season, that's over now as the show has opened Pandora's box.
Not sure the arc for the year about this Ukranian mob will be any good, but I'll give that a chance too. Strong season opener though.

your success and our well-trained staff is ready to work for you.

reporting bad debt to all major credit bureaus. You have nothing to lose and everything
to gain by enlisting our team today. Our specialized software offers the latest
on-line skip tracing programs available to locate missing debtors.

Claims that are assigned should eventually be collected. Dollars collected, dollars
assigned is an accurate measurement of what the agency is doing for you. Recovery
rate, not commission rate is the key factor.
Recovery rate, client inventory, and account analysis.
The big task is not collection - it is finding the debtor so collection is possible.
This is accomplished by contacting individuals listed in the debtor's personal history
file. Collection agencies pool/gather "skiptracing" information they can
use in locating debtors.
Once the debtor is located, most debts are paid in installments of approximately
10-15% of the net income. Over 65% of all funds collected are done without legal
Legal proceedings are necessary but time consuming and expensive. Agencies advance
all legal expenses and recover these costs from debtors. If debtors are financially
able, but unwilling to pay, legal action must be taken.
There are three major credit reporting services in the United States. The agency
you choose should subscribe to one or more of these services. Our agency uses Equifax.
Our pre-collect program offers our clients the ability to send final demand letters.
We can customize this program to suit you

Congratulations! You've just completed 30 days of eating healthy, whole foods. I'm sure you've gotten positive results from doing it. Now here's the sneaky part that I didn't let on when I proposed this challenge...
Stick to it. I dare you.
That's right, I want to see you keep eating clean so that you continue to make your body as healthy as it can possibly be.
Quick story, the first time I did a 30 day Paleo challenge, was when a couple of people I knew that owned gym's (Melissa Hartwig and Colin McGarty) issued the challenge to their clients, so I figured I'd jump on board and give it a shot. I planned my 30 days and it so happened that at the end of the 30 days I was going to be at a friends beach house the first day after the challenge was over. So my plan was to be really strict for the whole 30 day challenge and then on the day after just chow down on everything in my path, particularly non-paleo foods. It also happened that I was going to take CrossFit Kettlebell Certification again during that time, and Melissa Urban was going to be there as well. I told her that I was doing the 30 day challenge and that I was doing really well thing were working the way they were supposed to. When I told her that I planned to totally go crazy at the end of the 30 days, Melissa looked at me with a look that said "Are you !@#$% serious", then only asked me a simple question that I really didn't have a good answer for.
I though to myself, "good question, I don't really know"!
What was the point of learning to shop and eat healthy, feel better, perform better and look better, to simply go back to doing the things that made me feel worse, perform worse and look worse? Was I doing this as an exercise in discipline, to see if I could last for 30 whole days, what was the point? I've always hated "quick weightloss" schemes, so that wasn't the reason. Now I'm the kind of person that doesn't necessarily like to take correction or have my plans questioned once my mind is made up, but that question nagged at me all the way up until I went to my friends beach house where TONS of non-paleo, rubbish food was available at my fingertips. Then as I was looking at everything there was to eat, I asked myself, "Why?" and I made up my mind right then that paleo eating was going to be the way I eat all the time. I did have a beer and a handful of potato chips at my friends house that day, but the rest of my eating day was spent hovering around the grill for the chicken and steak that was brought out and the lone veggie tray that only a couple of folks indulged in.
So what does this have to do with you? If you're planning to go back to eating lots of bad food and plan to burn it down then I'm going to ask you the question Melissa asked me. Why? Is looking, feeling or performing worse, throwing away the gains you've made worth going back to eating poorly? If you've successfully made it through 30 days eating Paleo food and have had good results, does it make any sense to change from that?
Now, the idealist in me wants to say, it's all happy, and easy to stay away from bad food choices after the 30 days is up, and we'll all eat perfectly clean all the time. While it's much easier, the realist in me knows there are still lots of temptations lurking out there. I don't expect you to be perfect every day all the time, but remember, eating Paleo has brought you good results, so if you eat clean 90% of the time you'll still get a majority of the good results. Try to eat clean ALL the time, know that a cheat is a cheat (there is no way to make a cheat healthy) and keep them to a minimum and you'll do well.

I'm constantly reminding myself just how lucky we are to have such a solid car scene for such a small little country. Time and time again I'm left floored by the cars that are on this Island.
You're fifteen years of age, your Dad tells you Christmas and birthdays sorted for the foreseeable future, somehow you have ended up with your dream car. You look outside and you are the proud owner of an AE86.
The Irish car shed doesn't get as much credit as it deserves, Sheds are the backbone of our car scene, the anchors to every good build.
What started out as a bit of a Joke on the Internet the other day ended up luring us out on a freezing Friday night standing around in the dark with friends. We were almost excited at the fact this "Cruise" was going down.
"Cruises" have been a part of car culture for as long as I can remember, in all shapes and sizes they have always happened. Its a different kind of nightlife.
Japan has been good to us. This country has seen some great cars land here over the years. In almost every category we have imported some of the best. It amazes that after fiteen or more years of plucking the gold, time and time again amazing machines like this end up on the docks in Dublin.
The roads are empty; the average folk are sound asleep. Between the valleys of a Celtic tiger vision, the grumbling sound of a 1jz resonates against the dew-covered embankments.
The last few weeks have been pretty eventful. After just about two and a half years of living in Canada, I decided to make my way back to the motherland.
Entering Mongolia during the Mongol Rally was an exciting moment for us all. We had survived police corruption in Kazakhstan..
So you are thundering across the desert in a 27 year old 1 litre Starlet you bought for a couple of hundred euro should you be worried? Of course not!
Like most things in life as the years pass certain things tend to change and the car scene is one of them things. Every year certain looks come in and out of fashion and different wheel companies bring out new wheels and everyone decides to change their car's look for the year ahead. That is just what Emmett the owner of this Polo 6N has done. Now if you have a good memory and can remember all the way back to 2012 you may remember we featured this Polo during the summer of 2012. Although I won't be surprised if you don't remember it as it has completely changed over the past three years and the changes made are certainly an improvement.
On Sunday just gone we took the long drive up to Belfast to attend Dubshed. After a long drive up from Waterford in the rain, which made the journey worse, we arrived at King's Hall, Belfast. We parked the car and made our way into one of the three sheds to see what Dubshed had to offer us this year.
A few months ago a few mates had come across the Ocean from France to pick up this beauty. I decided to grab a few snaps before she made her way back. I've always enjoyed this car. It wears the Garage Masa have the M kit which adds the strawberry face to the s14. Sometimes 15 front on a 14 doesn't work too good as a conversion as the strawberry front is a little sharper towards the more relaxed lines of the s14, but Ive always like the Masa kit conversion, its a pretty beefy aero kit which doesn't look out of place.
One of the sheds residents, the KE55 came out for some air today. You sometimes forget its beauty, living mostly for the cold months under covers.

Buenos dias, Senor Francisco Gomez-Roldan. And welcome to Abbey National. The roaring of the traffic on the Euston Road may not be too welcoming to someone used to the beautiful beaches of Santander or the wide boulevards of Madrid. The weather may be awful. And not eating dinner in the middle of the night might be hard to get used to. But at least your HQ is a lovely new office.
When your boss, the estimable Emilio Botin, told you that you'd be taking charge of Abbey, it was probably a surprise. It certainly caught a few people in London on the hop. Posting the group finance director to oversee the integration of an £8bn acquisition either means that Banco Santander Central Hispano means business. Or that it is worried.
This is an important deal for Santander. But it is equally important for the UK banking market. Francisco, everyone expects you to fail. Not miserably, but in a "never really made a difference" kind of way, leaving you with a declining asset you won't be able to offload which will be a drag to you for years to come.
For a start, Abbey is subscale in almost everything but mortgages. That business, though, does not look terribly attractive, with the end of the housing boom coinciding with a period of little movement in interest rates.
Then you need to update Abbey's computer systems. Sure, you have a grand plan - bringing over the superb system from Banesto, one of your subsidiaries. But you are already migrating the Banco Santander systems to the Banesto platform. One big systems change is enough for anyone. Two at once is pretty ambitious.
This time next year we should know if this is going well or whether you have caught a crab. By then you will have to address the $64,000 - or should we say the £4bn - question. Is Abbey big enough to take on the big five banks?
The close followers of Santander in Madrid seem to know the answer. It is no. To make an impact on the UK market with your innovative techniques and responsible delivery you will need to have at least a 10 per cent market share on average to start off with. And you ain't going to get that any time soon organically with Abbey.
So what to buy? It depends on what is on sale. Alliance & Leicester, Northern Rock and Bradford & Bingley are all public companies and so can be prized with a good bid. But Alliance would be expensive, Northern is a bit regional and the B&B has a bit of an identity crisis (though this could provide an opportunity). The troubled National Australia Bank will surely sell the Clydesdale and Yorkshire at some point. But will the timing be right?
Mr Botin reportedly ended a presentation to investors at Goldman Sachs with the comment: "See you in another acquisition."
This could be a witty joke. But then, with Mr Botin you never really know. Do you, Francisco?
Boots takes some Viagra
Sex sells. Or that must be what Boots' boss Richard Baker must be hoping after ditching dentistry and massage in favour of "tasteful" sex toys from the makers of Durex condoms. Boots says it has not yet decided whether to stock the Play range, but if it does it will be an attempt to tap into the supposedly growing Sex and the City market.
While this will be a brave idea, it is hardly new. Marks & Spencer struck a deal with Agent Provocateur to add some spice to its underwear offer a few years ago. While Salon Rose, as it is called, can still be found in larger stores, it is far less important now that Stuart Rose is pursuing a back-to-basics strategy.
But if the new kinky Boots idea is a success, why not try it for other troubled retailers? Hardcore videos at WH Smith, edible underwear at J Sainsbury, and the mind boggles at what they could sell in a flatpack at MFI. The high street may never be the same again.Reuse content

This application makes reference to, incorporates the same herein, and claims all benefits accruing under 35 U.S.C. �119 from an application for METHOD FOR AUTOMATICALLY CONTROLLING RESOLUTION earlier filed in the Korean Industrial Property Office on the day of Jun. 29, 1996 and there duly assigned Ser. No. 26433/1996, a copy of which application is annexed hereto.
1. Field of the Invention
The present invention relates to a technique for controlling a resolution in an image processing system, and more particularly a technique for automatically controlling a resolution of a document to be transmitted and/or copied.
2. Description of the Related Art
In general, a facsimile has a resolution control function which includes a standard mode, a fine mode, and a super fine mode. If a user selects one of the above mentioned resolution modes by using an operating panel in order to control a resolution of the document to be transmitted, a controller (e.g., central processing unit) recognizes the selected resolution mode and transmits corresponding mode information according to a protocol to a called facsimile prior to transmitting actual image data. Thereafter, the facsimile transmits the document image based on the selected mode information. At this moment, the user should check every new page as to whether or not the resolution mode should be changed, thereby causing inconveniences. Once the resolution mode is selected for a page, the whole page will be transmitted with the same resolution.
The standard mode is to scan the document every other line (where one line is 1/7.7 mm) and code the scanned image to transmit to the called facsimile. Then, the called facsimile prints one line with the received image and prints a next line with the same image. The fine mode is to scan the document line by line and code the scanned image to transmit to the called facsimile. Then, the called facsimile prints the received images line by line. Further, the super fine mode is to scan the document every half line (where a half line is 1/15.4 mm) and code the scanned image to transmit to the called facsimile. The transmitted image is printed at the called facsimile every half line. Thus, in the light of the vertical lines, the resolution with respect to one line becomes 1/3.85 mm in the standard mode, 1/7.7 mm in the fine mode, and 1/15.4 mm in the super fine mode. For the convenience of explanation, it is assumed that one line is 1/7.7 mm throughout the specification.
As can be clearly appreciated from the above descriptions, the standard mode has a fast transmission speed but a low resolution. On the contrary, the fine mode and the super fine mode have a high resolution, but they have the disadvantage of the low transmission speed. Conventionally, when scanning a document in a facsimile, the user should determine an elaboration of the document by the naked eye, and select the resolution mode accordingly.
Therefore, in the case where the document is a mixture of the elaborative image and the normal image, several problems may be caused unavoidably. Namely, it takes a long time to transmit the document in the fine or super fine mode continuously, which results into an expensive communication fee. On the contrary, if the user transmits the document in the standard mode in order to reduce the transmission time, a quality of the image will be degraded. Furthermore, in the case where the facsimile is erroneously set to the standard mode for a document that should have been set to the fine or super fine mode, the user might retransmit document due to the degradation of the image.
The following patents each disclose features in common with the present invention but do not teach or suggest the specifically recited features of the present invention: U.S. Pat. No. 5,337,159 to Iida et al., entitled Image Data Smoothing Method, U.S. Pat. No. 5,274,462 to Satoh, entitled Image Input And Output Method, U.S. Pat. No. 4,028,731 to Arps et al., entitled Apparatus For Compression Coding Using Cross-Array Correlation Between Two-Dimensional Matrices Derived From Two-Valued Digital Images, U.S. Pat. No. 4,070,694 to Sakamoto et al., entitled Picture Image Information Band Compression And Transmission System, U.S. Pat. No. 4,115,815 to Nakagome et al., entitled Facsimile Signal Coding Method, U.S. Pat. No. 4,191,974 to Ono et al., entitled Facsimile Encoding Communication System, U.S. Pat. No. 3,974,325 to Wilmer, entitled Interpolator For Facsimile Bandwidth Compression, U.S. Pat. No. 4,193,092 to Stoffel, entitled Image Interpolation System, U.S. Pat. No. 4,291,339 to Ogawa et al., entitled Facsimile Transceiver, U.S. Pat. No. 4,396,952 to Tisue et al., entitled Facsimile Transmission Apparatus, and U.S. Pat. No. 4,571,632 to Schaphorst et al., entitled Alternate Line Interpolation Method And Apparatus.
It is therefore an object of the present invention to provide a technique for automatically controlling a resolution of a document to be transmitted or copied.
According to the present invention, a facsimile machine scans one document page which is a mixture of an elaborative image and a normal image, and transmits the elaborative image portion in a fine mode and the normal image portion in a standard mode, so as to save a transmission time, maintaining the quality of the image. To this end, a previous line is compared with a current line to detect a dot number difference therebetween. If the dot number difference is not greater than a predetermined value, a command code is transmitted to a called facsimile machine to print the same image data as that of the previous line. Otherwise, if the dot number difference is greater than the predetermined value, the scanning data is coded by the existing coding method and transmitted to the called facsimile machine. In this way, it may be possible to save the data transmission time.
A more complete appreciation of the invention, and many of the attendant advantages thereof, will be readily apparent as the same becomes better understood by reference to the following detailed description when considered in conjunction with the accompanying drawings in which like reference symbols indicate the same or similar components, wherein:
FIG. 1 is a system block diagram of a facsimile to which the present invention will be employed; and
FIG. 2 is a flowchart for automatically controlling a resolution of a document according to an embodiment of the present invention.
A preferred embodiment of the present invention will be described in detail hereinbelow with reference to the attached drawings, in which the like reference numerals represent the like elements. Further, it should be clearly understood by those skilled in the art that many specifics such as the detailed circuit elements are shown only by way of an example to bring a better understanding of the present invention and the present invention may be embodied without those specifics. Moreover, it should be noted that detailed descriptions of the related prior art may have been intentionally omitted if it was believed to be unnecessary in describing the concepts of the present invention.
Referring to FIG. 1, there is illustrated a system block diagram of a facsimile machine to which the present invention will be employed. In the drawing, a controller 111 controls an overall operation of the facsimile machine, such as a transmission mode, a reception mode, and a copy mode. Further, the controller 111 includes a program memory and a data memory which may be prepared therein or connected thereto externally as represented by the reference numeral 119. The program memory stores a software program according to the present invention and the data memory temporarily stores data which are generated during performing the program. An OPE (Operating Panel) 112 is comprised of a key input device 220 and a display 210. The key input device 220 generates key data for setting the resolution modes and/or performing the set resolution mode, and transmits the key data to the controller 111. The display 210 displays operational states of the system while the controller 111 performs the respective modes. A sensor circuit 113 senses the existence and/or nonexistence of the document and the printing paper, to generate sensing signals to the controller 111. A scanner 114 transmits, to the controller 111, an image that a CCD (Charge Coupled Device; not shown) has scanned. The image undergoes a photoelectric conversion prior to being applied to the controller 111. An image processor 115 codes and decodes image data from the scanner 114 and image data from a modem 117. Specifically, the image processor 115 divides the image data from the scanner 114 into background data and text data, and generates grey image data, so as to allow the called facsimile machine to restore the image data to the original state. A printer 116 prints, on a printing paper, the image data received from the image processor 115 according to the control of the controller 111 while performing the reception mode and copy mode. The modem 117 is controlled by the controller 111 and converts data from the controller 111 into analog signal and/or converts signals received from communication lines into digital data. Specifically, during the transmission mode of operation, the modem 117 modulates the image data from the image processor 115 to be consistent with a standard transmission format of the facsimile machine and transmits the modulated signal through the communication line. Alternatively, during the reception mode of operation, the modem 117 demodulates the coded image signal received from the communication line into its original state so that it can be processed by the controller 111. An NCU (Network Control Unit) 118 forms a transmission/reception path of telephone lines Tip and Ring, and the modem 117 according to the control of the controller 111.
Referring to FIG. 2, there is shown a process flowchart for automatically controlling the resolution according to a preferred embodiment of the present invention. It is checked, at a step 2a, whether or not to perform the automatic resolution control function according to the present invention. If the automatic resolution control function is set at the step 2a, the controller 111 proceeds to a step 2b to scan an n-th line of the document wherein "n" represents a variable designating a scanning line.
Scanning data of the n-th line is stored as reference data, at a step 2c. At the same time, the scanning data of the n-th line is coded by a predetermined coding method to be transmitted to a called facsimile machine, at a step 2d. Upon completion of the transmission, the variable "n" is increased by one, at a step 2e. The increased line is scanned, at a step 2f. Turning back to the step 2a, if it is assumed that the n-th line is a first line, the n+1-th line of the step 2e will become a second line.
The scanning data of the increased line is compared with the reference data, at a step 2g, to detect whether or not a dot number difference therebetween is greater than a predetermined value. If the dot number difference is greater than the predetermined value, the scanning data of the increased line is coded by the predetermined coding method and transmitted to the called facsimile machine, at a step 2h. The reference data is updated with the scanning data of the increased line, at a step 2i. However, if the dot number difference is less than or equal to the predetermined value, a command code for instructing the called facsimile machine to print the same image as that of the previous line is transmitted, at a step 2j.
Specifically, if the dot number difference is relatively small, the controller 111 transmits the command code for instructing the called facsimile machine to print the same image data as that of the preceding line, instead of scanning a corresponding line to transmit. In this way, it may be possible to save the time required for coding scanning data of the corresponding line and the time for transmitting the same. Therefore, the printing time at the called facsimile machine may be reduced remarkably.
Meanwhile, it is checked whether or not it is an end of a page, at a step 2k. If it is not the end of the page, the process flow goes back to the step 2e to increase the variable "n" by one and repeat the succeeding steps.
On the other hand, if the automatic resolution control function is not set at the step 2a, the process flow proceeds to a step 2l to execute a process routine of a selected resolution mode.
As described in detail heretofore, the facsimile machine according to the present invention controls the resolution of a document automatically. Therefore, it may not be necessary for the user to re-establish the resolution mode for every page of the document, thereby offering convenience to the user. Further, the facsimile machine can transmit the document with a mixture of elaborative image and a normal image, automatically controlling the resolutions.
Although a preferred embodiment of the present invention has been described in detail hereinabove, it should be clearly understood that many variations and/or modifications of the basic inventive concepts herein taught which may appear to those skilled in the art will still fall within the spirit and scope of the present invention as defined in the appended claims.

Terra Valentine Spring Mountain District Cabernet Sauvignon 2014
Our Spring Mountain District Estate Cabernet Sauvignon is the flagship wine of Terra Valentine spanning all parts of our two estate vineyards. A blend of Wurtele Vineyard Cabernet as well as Cabernet, Merlot, and Cabernet Franc from the Yverdon Vineyard, the wine shows the character of all elevations and the four soil types of our estates. The estate fruit is de-stemmed and the whole berries cold-soaked for two days prior to fermentation. The wine spends an average of 21 days on the skins before the free-run wine is settled and racked to barrel for malolatic fermentation. The wine spends 22 months in French Oak barrels of which 35% are new which accents the trademark flavors of cocoa powder and black currant.
