This application claims the benefit of U.S. Provisional Application No. 60/531,983, filed on Dec. 24, 2003, entitled "Method and Apparatus for Controlling Unsolicited Messaging in Real Time Messaging Networks," which application is hereby incorporated herein by reference.
The present invention relates to a method and system for controlling the delivery of unsolicited real-time data, voice and video messages over a communications network such as the Internet.
There are two quite different types of electronic networks that are evolving: a standard telephone network and a data network (e.g., the Internet). The standard telephone network, such as a wireless telephony network and the POTS network, is designed to carry real-time messaging content. Capacity is allocated in real-time bandwidth and, once you have a connection of adequate bandwidth established between two points, data that is delayed is viewed as a network fault. Examples of communications that may be carried via a standard telephone network(s) include voice communications, multi-party conference calls, video conference calls, or the like.
Another characteristic of standard telephone networks is that each network is typically owned and controlled by a small number (typically a single company in the case of wireless networks) of large companies that historically have provided service directly to end users of the network and therefore have a billing type relationship with them. Where a connection is made through the facilities of another provider, there is typically a commercial contract in place between the two companies. These standard telephone networks, in part because of the relatively close relationship between the service vendors and network users, have the characteristic that the originator of a call can be readily identified, allowing "caller ID" service to be readily implemented and to be widely known and in fact expected.
In contrast, the second type of network (e.g., data networks such as the Internet, LANs, WANs, VPNs, and the like) were designed to move mostly one-way, non-real time data from point to point. In this type of network, the delay of data has typically not been regarded as a network fault. Additionally, some data networks, particularly the Internet, are far more disjoint than a standard telephone network. There are many more companies involved, and there is much less control of individual point-to-point end-user connections. It is typical that a company that provides transmission of data on the Internet has a tenuous commercial relationship with the originators of most of the data packets that it is carrying. In fact, Internet service providers (ISPs) protect the privacy and anonymity of their subscribers.
This tenuous commercial relationship with end users coupled with the relative ease with which the end-user computers that originate much of the traffic on the Internet can be anonymously enlisted in the service of third parties, leads to the fact that a "caller ID" type service is nearly impossible to implement on the Internet.
In recent years, these data networks have begun to evolve to provide real-time, two-way communications between parties. The communications may include, for example, voice-over-IP (VOIP), instant messaging, interactive video conferencing (e.g., web meetings), or the like.
Using the electronic data networks for real-time, two-way communications provide several advantages. In particular, using these electronic networks for real-time, two-way communications is relatively low cost and easily accessible. The proliferation of networks throughout today's society, particularly the Internet, has ensured ready access to a communications device capable of communicating with any other individual communicatively coupled to the same network. Essentially anyone with a computer, a personal data assistant, a wireless telephone, or the like can connect to the Internet and communicate with someone at a remote location within seconds. Likewise, companies can use internal networks (e.g., WANs, VPNs, or the like) to allow geographically dispersed employees to communicate in real-time using many of the same technologies. Notably, the communications can frequently occur with equipment already purchased as networks and access devices are generally already in place to handle data needs.
As this type of communications becomes more widespread, it will inevitably become a target for advertisers and telemarketers as a method to distribute advertising messages in vast quantities. Because of the low cost of distributing massive amounts of advertising, advertisers can economically transmit advertising communications with response rates that are orders of magnitude less than would be necessary to support more traditional means of advertising. Additionally, as discussed above, anonymity given the sender prevents "do not call" lists and caller-ID type mechanisms from providing an adequate solution.
Electronic mail (e-mail) has already seen this problem. E-mail is a store-and-forward communications method in which one-way communications (as opposed to a two-way communications) are sent from one network node to another network node until the final destination is reached, where a recipient may or may not retrieve a message or respond. Because e-mail is inexpensive and advertisers can transmit massive amounts of e-mail quickly (and often automatically), e-mail advertisements (e.g., junk e-mail) are becoming a burden to networks and users alike. This use of e-mail to send massive amounts of advertisements is known as the e-mail "spam" problem.
Attempts have been made to reduce the effect of e-mail spam on the end users. One such attempt is described in U.S. Pat. No. 6,052,709, wherein a system that attempts to filter incoming e-mail to identify junk e-mail is described. This system, however, only applies to e-mail, which, as described above, is a one-way communication, and does not apply to two-way, real-time communications, such as voice, video, real-time text, or the like.
Therefore, there is a need for a method and system to identify and filter unsolicited real-time, two-way communications.
These and other problems are generally solved or circumvented, and technical advantages are generally achieved, by preferred embodiments of the present invention which provides a system and method for controlling the delivery of unsolicited real-time messages over an electronic communications network.
In accordance with an aspect of the invention, there is provided a method for detecting, identifying and filtering unsolicited real-time messaging (RTM) messages. Generally, the method may comprise the following steps.
a.) Creating a sensor/decoy destination address, each destination address being capable of receiving RTM messages, but no destination address is intended to receive RTM messages destined for an actual user. Because there is no actual user associated with the destination address, all RTM messages involving that destination address are unsolicited.
b.) Monitoring the RTM messages received at the destination addresses. Each RTM message received at the destination address is analyzed for information such as content and originating address information that could be useful in identifying that particular message or other traffic from that source if it were to arrive at an RTM terminal device.
c.) Collecting and processing information related to the RTM messages received at the destination address and downloading processed information into control agents situated at network nodes through which RTM traffic flows to reach protected terminal devices. The downloaded information is used to filter incoming RTM messages.
In order that the invention may be readily understood, embodiments of the invention are illustrated by way of examples in the accompanying drawings, in which:
This section describes the instant invention with reference to the accompanying figures. The description uses a number of terms that are defined more precisely in the following paragraphs.
The following description discloses a system and method for controlling unsolicited real-time, two-way communications, referred to herein as real-time messaging (RTM). RTM may include, for example, any messaging modality that may be used in an interactive two-way conversational mode between a plurality of communicating parties. RTM may also be used to send messages to a message store (i.e., a voice mailbox or integrated messaging mailbox), but it is distinguished from electronic mail (i.e., e-mail) in that it is designed to support two-way conversation. In an embodiment, RTM may be supported by protocols wherein the communications session is established using SIP or H.323 and messaging is done via one or more of voice, video, text, whiteboard, multimedia data streams, or the like. Examples of RTM include Voice over Internet Protocol ("VOIP"), video conferencing, Instant Messaging ("IM"), traditional voice calls via plain old telephone service (POTS) network, voice calls via a wireless network, or the like.
In normal operation of the real-time messaging network, user terminal devices 113-118 participate in RTM communications via a RTM capable network 100 such as the Internet, a WAN (wide-area network), or the like. In another embodiment, the RTM capable network 100 may be a telephony network, e.g., POTS network or a wireless network, capable of carrying real-time voice communications between parties. As discussed in greater detail below, this alternative embodiment may be particularly useful for a telephony service provider to block unsolicited telephone calls, such as telemarketing calls, directed to its subscribers.
The terminal devices 113-118 typically connect to the network 100 via a service provider who typically operates one or more network nodes (e.g., 108-109) through which RTM traffic flows. Similar to a telephone number, an RTM message is communicated using a RTM address to identify an intended RTM message recipient and, usually, a RTM address to identify the actual sender. A terminal device is configured for communications using at least one RTM address to identify the terminal device to network. Like a telephone number, a RTM network user may have more than one RTM address. It should be noted that the terminal devices may be any component capable of originating and/or receiving RTM communications. In particular, the terminal devices may be, for example, a physical device such as a cell phone, a telephony handset, a computer-based communications device, or the like. The terminal device may also be a computer program executing on an electronic device.
Terminal devices (e.g., 113-118) are coupled to a respective network site (e.g., 108, 109) via one or more of wireless and wired connections. In the case of a terminal device comprising a wire-coupled telephony handset or a personal computer, the terminal device may always connect through the same network nodes. For the case of a wireless-coupled terminal device, the network nodes through which that terminal device's RTM traffic passes may change as the terminal device's user moves the device.
Coupled to network 100 are terminal devices 110-112 that utilize RTM to originate unsolicited real-time, two-way communications. Devices 110-112 are typically connected to network 100 in a similar manner as user terminal devices 113-118. In this case the network nodes that the terminal devices 110-112 connect through are not explicitly shown in the diagram, but are included as part of the communications network 100 itself.
In accordance with a system aspect of the present invention,
Though CPRD 101 is illustrated as communicating with sensor nodes 104-106, and control agents 102-103 outside communications network 100, some or all of such communications may be within such network 100.
In an embodiment, sensor nodes 104-106 may comprise computer programs running on a computer (or other electronic devices) or network of computers (all not shown) that accepts connections for one or more RTM addresses that do not actually correspond to an actual user of a RTM network such as network 100. Because the RTM address does not correspond to an actual user, all communications received at that address are by definition unsolicited. A sensor node 104-106, however, may run on the same computer or be part of the same computer program that also accepts RTM message traffic for actual users or reside on a CPRD node 101. The sensor nodes collect information on RTM message traffic and communicate information about these RTM messages to the CPRD node 101, for example, over the same communications network 100.
Sensor nodes 104-106 are preferably distributed throughout the communications network 100 to ensure that as many delivery paths as possible of RTM communications are represented and that a large number of representative RTM communication sessions can be examined. Sensor nodes 104-106 collect information on this received RTM traffic to aid in identification of the source and nature of the RTM communications.
It is expected that many unsolicited RTM messages will exist whose source will be various terminal devices 110-112 dedicated to the sending, both via manual and automatic methods, of unsolicited RTM messages. It is also expected that many of the unsolicited RTM messages will be sent from the computers of actual users that have been taken over via a virus or other attack and are then used to send unsolicited RTM messages until they are discovered and repaired. It is further expected that the source of the unsolicited RTM messages will change rapidly.
When RTM messages are collected by the sensor nodes 104-106, the RTM messages or characteristics determined from the RTM messages are forwarded to the CPRD node 101 for processing and analysis.
As illustrated in
Because RTM traffic is typically two-way interactive communications, it is preferred that the sensor nodes 104-106, acting as decoys for unsolicited RTM traffic, employ various strategies to emulate the behavior that would be observed if the RTM address was in fact the address of an actual user. This includes displaying a network 'presence' (e.g., indicating that the 'user' is on-line and ready to interact) and, possibly, playing a recorded message to emulate a user interaction such as saying, "Hello" and/or offering access to an RTM account.
CPRD node (of which there can be several and which, for optimizing effectiveness, may share message and filter rule store data) comprises one or more computers running one or more programs. In a preferred embodiment, the CPRD node collects information from the sensor nodes that is relevant to identifying RTM messages. The CPRD node may then store and analyze the RTM message information to derive rules that can reliably distinguish the RTM messages observed at a sensor node from legitimate RTM traffic received by terminal devices employed by actual users.
For example, CPRD node 101 examines the RTM message characteristics such as the header of the message which can contain information on the sender such as their network IP address, media type, routing information and other identifying characteristics. In an embodiment in which the RTM message comprises voice communications, for example, the message characteristics may include caller identifier and/or source location information. Generally, the header information helps determine the source of the RTM message.
If one or more unsolicited RTM messages originate from the same originating address (e.g., the same IP address, caller identifier, etc.), then that originating address can be determined to be a unsolicited RTM source. The more messages are traced to that originating address, the more credible is the determination that the source is originating unsolicited RTM messages. However, because some unsolicited RTM messages are often sent from computers that have been compromised for the purpose of sending spam, it is preferable not to make the unsolicited RTM source judgment permanent, but rather to have it expire over a period of time (e.g., minutes, hours or days) if no further unsolicited RTM traffic is observed.
As illustrated in
The filter rules 201-202 are stored at the CPRD node 101 and tested to ensure that they are specific to the observed RTM traffic and that they do not trigger on legitimate RTM traffic. Filter rules 201-202 can be generated automatically, and can also be generated and validated via human input. Preferably, filter rules 201-202 are aged by CPRD node 101 and discarded after a period (e.g., days, weeks or months) as mass messaging campaigns end.
CPRD node 101 may also distribute rule information 201-202 to control agents 102-103 that filter RTM traffic in various ways if the traffic is sufficiently similar to RTM traffic that was observed at one or more of sensor nodes 104-106. Filter rule data is maintained at CPRD node 101 and may be distributed to the control agents 102-103 incrementally as new rules are generated, or all at once if a node's 101 or agent's 102-103 rule store is reset or a new control agent is brought on-line.
Control agents 102-103 identify unsolicited RTM messages and control it for respective users of terminal devices 113-118. For example, control agents 102-103 may separate incoming RTM traffic into messages that are to be received without modification or labeling (i.e., legitimate RTM messages) and those that are to be controlled further such as by rejecting, suppressing, diverting, or simply labeling according to the nature of their contents.
As demonstrated in
Dispositions may be determined by control agent 307 based on a 'degree of certainty' metric contained in a filter rule 305, depending on the configuration of the control agent 307. The user of a terminal device 306 may examine RTM messages 300 disposed to the quarantine store 302 and return any erroneously classified messages to the CPRD node.
A protected terminal device 306 will receive an unsolicited RTM message if the control agent 307 is configured to label or flag the message as unsolicited, rather than reject or divert the message to alternate locations. The flagged message 301 can then be dealt with by the terminal device as per its configuration. Though not shown, messages which do not instigate disposition as unsolicited messages in accordance with the filter rules are delivered to terminal device 306.
With reference to
At step 403, one or more of the sensor nodes receives RTM messages and forwards the messages to a CPRD node. At step 404 the CPRD node, extracts data from the RTM message to identify its content and source. At step 405, a filtering rule set is created based on the source and content information of the spam RTM message, and at step 406, the filtering rule set is forwarded to control agents installed at one or more terminal device connection sites. At step 407, the control agents filter incoming RTM messages with the filtering rules to identify unsolicited RTM messages, and at step 408, the control agent acts upon the unsolicited RTM messages. Acting upon the message may involve rejecting it, quarantining it, labeling and sending it on to the client terminal device, or the like. At step 409, the filtered message may be further processed. For example, if it is sent to the terminal device, it may be processed by reviewing the message. If the message is quarantined, a user of the terminal device may direct it for further processing by a control agent (not shown).
As noted above, an embodiment of the present invention may be used by a telephony service provider (or other owner of a block of telephone numbers or URLs) to block unsolicited voice calls directed to its subscribers. For example, this embodiment may be useful to block telemarketers that use computerized dialing systems to automatically dial numbers within a specified address range. In this embodiment, the telephony service provider may allocate one or more system identifiers (numbers or URLs) for the purpose of identifying callers making unsolicited voice calls. The system identifiers may be, for example, a block of telephone numbers, URLs, a combination thereof, or the like.
This embodiment would be most useful in a situation where in bound calls could originate on a network like the Internet where the incoming message is much less likely to be traceable to a particular real world person or corporation.
The sensor nodes may be network nodes configured to respond to a call placed to one or more of the system call identifiers that do not correspond to actual customers, but may also be configured to respond to call identifiers corresponding to actual customers. Upon receipt of a call placed to a system call identifier, the sensor node may extract caller identification information, which may then be forwarded to the CPRD processing node. The CPRD processing node may generate filter rules and forward the filter rules to the control agents. The control agents may be a hardware and/or software component that is preferably located in the central office.
In operation, the control agents may compare calls directed to a customer with the filter rules. If a call matches one or more of the filter rules, the call may be directed to a predetermined recording or may simply be disconnected. It is preferred that the aging rules discussed above also be applied to voice calls.
Although the above description relates to specific embodiments as presently contemplated by the inventors, it is understood that the invention in its broad aspect includes mechanical and functional equivalents of the elements described herein.

Comments about T.G.I. Friday's Buffalo Mozzarella Sticks:
T.G.I.Fridays Buffalo Mozzarella Sticks where not quite I expected. Then again, I have nothing very similar to reference them to. My experience of them was that they were tasty but too spicy. The oh so melty cheese had to be made from high quality cheese. The breading that covered the mozzarella was too spicy and a little bit too grainy for my taste. I think they would make a great add on to any game day party. You would definitely spice up the menu a bit.
Comments about T.G.I. Friday's Buffalo Mozzarella Sticks:
I have never had mozzarella sticks like these before! Mozzarella sticks are one of my guilty pleasures, and I love these! T.G.I Friday's Buffalo Mozzarella Sticks are great! 15 minutes in the oven and you've got yourself an amazing snack. And they're spicy! They have an amazing buffalo chicken spice with creamy mozzarella on the inside. It's a whole new taste bud experience. I would recommend these to anyone! They're the best mozzarella sticks I've ever had.
Comments about T.G.I. Friday's Buffalo Mozzarella Sticks:
I buy these for lunch sometimes and they are the best frozen mozzarella sticks I have ever had! The outside is crunchy and the inside is cheesy and delicious. The mozzarella cheese tastes like fresh mozzarella cheese! I recommend this to anyone who likes quite, delicious meals to someone who just loves mozzarella sticks!

10 July 1938, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, USA, d. 19 February 1972, New York City, New York, USA. Prodigiously talented, Morgan played trumpet professionally at the age of 15 and three years later joined Dizzy Gillespies big band. During this same period he recorded with John Coltrane, Hank Mobley and others. In 1958 the Gillespie band folded and Morgan joined Art Blakeys Jazz Messengers where he made a tremendous impact not only nationally but around the world, thanks to the groups recordings. In the early 60s Morgan returned to his home town, where he played in comparative obscurity, but by 1963 he was back in New York, leading his own groups and also working for a while with Blakey in 1964. Morgans popularity was enhanced by the success of a recording of his own composition, the irresistibly catchy The Sidewinder which helped to spark a jazz funk mini-boom and has remained a dance floor favourite ever since.

Recent crime news
The Pennsylvania Supreme Court will not consider the case of a Shenandoah man serving a state prison sentence for possessing methamphetamine with intent to sell it.
In a one-sentence order, the court declined to hear the appeal of Ronald G. Moll, 69. The court did not indicate why it declined to hear the case.
As a result, Moll must remain in prison, where he is serving five to 10 years.
A Schuylkill County jury convicted Moll on June 11, 2008, of possession with intent to deliver a controlled substance, possession of a controlled substance and possession of drug paraphernalia.
President Judge William E. Baldwin, who presided over the one-day trial, sentenced Moll on Aug. 12, 2008, to spend five to 10 years in a state correctional institution, pay costs and $100 to the Substance Abuse Education Fund, and submit a DNA sample to law enforcement authorities.
Shenandoah police charged Moll with possessing 9.7 grams of methamphetamine, with a street value of about $1,000, plus a scale and baggies on April 10, 2007, in his apartment in the borough. Police said they found the methamphetamine hidden in a telephone.

Rutgers Chemistry Faculty Build African Partnerships and Foster Collaborations to Advance Development
International Conference of the Africa Materials Research Society encourages investment in education, infrastructure, manufacturing and human capital
"Many African countries are experiencing rapid population growth, and some of the fastest growing economies are also in Africa," said Asefa, who returned to his native country with Rutgers colleagues for an important international meeting. "There is tremendous opportunity not just for Africans, but also for the whole world, including the U.S., to engage in the rise and development of Africa. The continent needs investment in education, infrastructure, manufacturing and human capital to ensure success in the future."
Encouraging such partnerships was the focus of the 7th International Conference of the Africa Materials Research Society, held in the African Union Conference Center in Addis Ababa, and co-chaired by Professor Teketel Yohannes Anshebo of Addis Ababa University and Rutgers Chemistry Professor Eric Garfunkel. The conference and the academic exchanges have benefited from the strong support of the National Science Foundation (NSF) and the Materials Research Society (MRS).
"Scientists and engineers can play critical roles in the development process that is taking place in Africa," said Garfunkel, who has co-chaired the past two Africa MRS conferences. "Our African counterparts are requesting more international involvement as the development of materials technologies have tremendous impact in energy, construction, health, transportation, and a variety of other critical sectors in Africa. Our joint conferences and academic exchanges can be very rewarding for both sides."
California Institute of Technology Professor Robert H. Grubbs, Nobel Laureate in Chemistry in 2005, was the plenary speaker for the conference, which was attended by some 300 scientists from across Africa and around the world. Rutgers Chemistry Professor Kathryn Uhrich, also participated, presenting the results of her polymer research, and leading a discussion on women in science.
"The workshop on women in science was a first for the society and the conference,"
Rutgers Chemistry graduate student Aleksandra Biedron was one of the young scientists to attend the conference. "It was a great opportunity to meet and talk to young Africans about my research, and to find out what we have in common," said Biedron. "I also enjoyed the opportunity to learn from the other women and discuss the challenges we face. I learned quite a bit about topics that are different from my current research, but still in the general area of materials. I am now considering a possible internship in Africa so the visit was also beneficial in that respect as well."
Rutgers has already hosted over two dozen African scientists and engineers over the past three years, including John Obayemi, a doctorate student studying at the new African University of Science and Technology (AUST) in Abuja, Nigeria. Obayemi presented the results of his research experience in Uhrich's lab at the Africa MRS conference. Rutgers Chemistry hopes to grow this exchange program over the next few years, and expand it further by partnering with other departments.
Garfunkel is working with colleagues at Rutgers and Princeton to create the Pan African Materials Institute (PAMI) with seed funding from the World Bank and Carnegie Foundation. The purpose of PAMI is to develop Africa's ability to add value to materials and mineral resources.
"PAMI is coordinating the training of Africans through short courses and graduate degree and doctorate programs, supplemented by state-of-the-

They're Harvesting Stars, You Know?
It's half-past ten and September is blowing by us on a stuttering breeze. We're lying on our backs in a small clearing, lost some place it took us hours to find and I doubt we could ever find again. Out among the manzanita trees, kinky wooden hands with skin the color of dry red cake, growing out of dusty soil nearly the same shade.
I'm lying here and she's beside me, our shoulders touching so soft that I could easily forget if not for the hint of warmth and the rustle of fabric when she fidgets. If not for her scent fluttering past me on the frail September breeze. Orange blossom soap. Warm sweat. That all too sweet smell I find behind her ear whenever I wrap my arms around her waist.
I hear her breathing, a gentle rush of moist air like a silk ribbon sliding back and forth. It catches sometimes, reverses direction when some strange thought strikes her fancy. It's a laugh that never quite escapes, a bubble that pops and evaporates at the back of her throat. A private musing for her and her alone.
I ache to ask, just to know what weird idea is bobbing across her brain, but I think better of it. It's enough for us to be alone and together, wrapped up loosely in the quiet of the night. Hearing the leaves rattle in the trees. Listening close for the half-dozen lazy clouds as they crawl across the sky.
I scratch the side of my nose, trying to ignore the small stone digging into my shoulder blade, and she stifles a yawn. Quiet, contented, dreamy. She's laid out at my side beneath a blanket of clouds and starlight, thinking a thousand things I could never guess.
She says, "They're harvesting them, you know?"
This is why I don't ask; because she always tells me when she needs to. "Harvesting what?"
"The stars," she says, and another tiny yawn murmurs on her tongue, breaks across her teeth. "They're just gobbling them up like fruit on a tree."
The sky is filled with them, droplets of white paint spattered across a dark cloth, and I couldn't recognize a constellation if I tried. "Who?"
"Does it matter?" I can tell by the tone of her voice that her lip is twisted, nearly tied in a knot, and I'm sure her nose just twitched. "Everyone," she says. "Kings and queens. Men with pickaxes and dirty hats. A hundred billion stars, gobbled up and spat out as if they never even mattered."
I try to see what she sees, but I don't think I can. Maybe once upon a time when my eyes were sharp, and I could still see abandoned castles hidden behind every hill.
I stretch and ask, "How can you tell?" and my arm brushes hers as I lay it back down. I find her hand with mine, lace them together, feeling the pudgy flesh on the underside of her fingers squish like overripe grapes; the webbing between them draw taut as a painter's canvas; the loose folds on the back of her knuckles rumple and slide. Silken and chill to the touch, her fingertips cascade in a wave before relaxing along the back of my hand.
She says, "You can't feel it. I always forget." Words as sad as wind chimes in an old forgotten yard, they tinkle and cry.
"Well," I say, and I turn my head an inch, enough to see her staring up into the night. "Tell me what it feels like then." A lock of hair tucked behind her ear is spilling out and over, and her eyes are glittering. Always glittering.
"It's like… something going away."
I turn back, knowing that her eyes will soon be wet. I look again to the stars scattered across the blue-black sky and try with all my might to feel this thing she's feeling.
Another second later, she says, "It's like my hand."
I feel her muscles tense and slacken in microscopic ways, as though the tiniest of her regrets are echoing in her bones, and I know. I know she's about to pull her hand from mine. And she does.
Her fingers wriggle free and her arm lifts up and up, a graceful curve like a scarf dangling from a clothesline. She extends one finger and points into the darkness above, where all our hundred billion stars twinkle and shine.
"Do you see it?"
I do. I think. A single lonely star resting on her fingertip.
"Watch," she says.
It disappears.
"Just like that."
Her arm floats back down and she snuggles up against me, hugging my shoulder tight and resting her lips against old cotton. She sniffles, and I feel like I need to cry. I'm not sure why. Maybe because I felt it just then… the feeling of something going away.
"It took a thousand years for the light to reach us," she says, with sleep creeping into her voice. "A thousand years, and it doesn't even matter. In a thousand more, they'll all be gone."
So I lie here, out beyond the manzanita trees in this spot we'll never find again, just listening to the sound of her breath brushing against me. Feeling September drift by us on the faltering wind while a hundred billion stars vanish from sight.

Swart AST 112 Combo Guitar Amp
Michael Swart comments on his latest amplifier:The idea of the Atomic Space Tone hit me when I was working on a vintage Gibson Scout guitar amp. It had Reverb, Tremolo, and 15 watts of pure rocking vintage tone power but only three preamp tubes and two EL-84 output tubes. I thought to my self - I have never seen an amp that could do so much with so little and sound surprisingly good. But I knew it could be even better. I knew something could be built revolving around my favorite little tone generator, the 6V6. I sent a note of thanks to my cohort for the inspiration for one of the best amplifiers I have ever built and the only thing I have found to equal the soul and amazing tone of the ST-6V6se but with MORE power. I call it the ATOMIC SPACE TONE. And damn if it's not a winner - this beast sounds amazing. This amp brings more tube soul than I thought possible, even compared to some of my favorite vintage amps. We are talking ALL TUBE circuitry, even the Tremolo and Reverb, all leading into the excellent 12" Mojotone BV-25m speaker.

Drew's Light Fruitcake
Recipe by BeachGirl
This recipe came from a cookbook (unknown) back in December 1964. This was the first cake I baked after getting married, and DH has been requesting it ever since. I've modified it slightly over the last 30+ years, and every year, I give these during the Holidays to Fruitcake-Loving friends. Everyone says it's the best fruitcake they have ever eaten! Make these at least 3 weeks before you plan to eat them (or give as gifts), as they need time to "season".
Top Review by Janet Knowles
I had a similar recipe years ago given to me by an elderly aunt. I lost it and despaired I would ever find another one as good. The orange juice in this one made it especially tasty. Thank you so much for sharing this recipe!!
See Discussion:1 Review
Ingredients Nutrition
- 473.18 ml chopped pecans (12 ounces)
- 354.88 ml golden raisins (8 ounces)
- 118.29 ml all-purpose flour (used to dust fruit)
- 907.18 g chopped mixed candied fruit (fruitcake mix kind)
- 354.88 ml all-purpose flour (6.37 ounces)
- 7.39 ml baking powder
- 4.92 ml salt
- 236.59 ml butter, softened (8 ounces)
- 236.59 ml granulated sugar (7 ounces)
- 5 large eggs
- 118.29 ml orange juice
- 4.92 ml fresh lemon juice
- 177.44-236.59 ml Bourbon (first seasoning step)
- 236.59 ml Bourbon (2-3 week seasoning steps)
- candied cherry, cut in half (optional)
- pecan halves (optional)
Directions See How It's Made
- Preheat oven to 275 degrees.
- Spray two 8x4x2-1/2-inch loaf pans (I use Wilton dark pans) with Baker's Joy, or grease and flour pans, removing any excess flour by turning pan upside down and tapping them firmly on the sides.
- Put raisins in a small bowl, and cover them with hot water to let them plump up.
- In a bowl, combine 1 1/2 cups flour, baking powder, and salt.
- Set aside.
- In small bowl, add all eggs and beat just enough to mix them.
- Add the lemon juice and orange juice.
- Set aside.
- Drain raisins.
- In large bowl, add candied fruit, chopped pecans, and raisins.
- Sprinkle with 1/2 cup flour and mix to separate fruit pieces.
- In a large mixing bowl, add butter and cream until soft.
- Add sugar and cream until fluffy and sugar has dissolved.
- Add 1/3 of the egg mixture, beating after each addition.
- Alternately add 1/4 of the flour mixture, beating on Medium-Low speed only until batter is smooth after each addition.
- ****Repeat the previous 2 steps until all egg mixture and flour mixture are incorporated into the batter.
- Pour the batter over the fruit-nut mixture and gently fold in the batter until the fruit is evenly distributed in the batter.
- Place the two loaf pans on a large cookie sheet so it will be easier to turn the loaves, and make removal from the oven easier when they are hot.
- Fill each loaf pan with half of the batter, which should come about 1-inch from the top of the loaf pan.
- If desired, decorate with cherry and pecan halves.
- Place loaf pans in preheated oven, and bake 2 hours.
- Turn cookie sheet once from front to back if cakes seem to be browning more in the back of the oven.
- Remove cakes from oven and pour 2-3 tablespoons bourbon over each cake.
- Cool about 30 minutes.
- Remove cakes from pans and place on a clean dish towel or rack to cool completely.
- TO SEASON AND STORE: Cut muslin or cheesecloth into large 18"x24" rectangles.
- Put cloth in bowl and add about 1/2 cup bourbon (enough to moisten the cloths).
- Remove cloths from bowl, lightly wring them out, and place on counter.
- Place a cake in the center of each cloth; fold cloth to completely enclose cake.
- Place cake in a resealable plastic bag, adding remaining bourbon left in bowl over top and bottom of each cake.
- Seal and store in a cool, dark place.
- No need to refrigerate, as the bourbon acts as a preservative.
- After several days, pour about 2 tablespoons of bourbon over the cloth-encased cake.
- Reseal plastic bag.
- Repeat this seasoning 2-3 times during the seasoning process, which should take about 2-3 weeks.
- You want to moisten cake, not drown it each time you season.
- At this point cakes can be given as gifts, eaten immediately, or frozen or refrigerated if you plan to keep them several months.
- NOTE: I have successfully kept these fruitcakes refrigarated for over 6 months, and they are still delicious.
- CUSTOM MIX: You can substitute any kind of candied fruit you like for the mixed fruit, or mix and match your preference of flavors: pineapple, cherries, citron, orange peel, lemon peel, chopped dated, craisins, etc.
- Chopped almond slivers or walnuts may be substituted for the chopped pecans.
- NOTE ON STORAGE: If you prefer to season your cake with orange juice rather than bourbon, it will be good, but not nearly as good, AND it must be REFRIGERATED after several days.
- ****Because I like to make these fruitcakes before the stores here stock the Candied Mixed Fruit, I buy it on 1/2 price sale after the Holidays and freeze it to use the following October.
- That way it is available when the urge to make fruitcakes hits me.
- ****.

Featuring lattice detailing at the bust, this American made one piece swimsuit features a front cutout detailing and a low scoop back. S-hook closure in back and adjustable straps.
My fav bathing suit ever
It has been super hard for me to find a one peice that fits right and is cute. This suit has a great fit, not too high cut at hips or cheeks but just enough so it is cute. Great soft material not too shiny or anything. Has no pads but that isn't a big deal breaker for me - you could always put some in or something. But yah.... just my favorite suite ever
My new favorite 'suit
This is a great one piece! It's very comfortable and with hints of sexy. I bought it in the fern, the color is exactly like the in the photos and the fit is very flattering. I bought a size 8 (I'm 5 foot 2, 110 lbs, 34D) and it fits beautifully. Great swimwear for this summer, I just might have to get it in the black.

China Plate Farm is one of the more advanced farms where the diversification away from traditional farming has led to a range of new facilities now being offered. China Plate Farm is situated in the west of the Wirral Peninsular, an area renowned for its outstanding coastline and idyllic sunsets with views across the river Dee to Wales.
The Wirral is a Mecca both for people who enjoy a variety of outdoor activities and for those who want to relax and enjoy the local ambiance of the Wirral's country parks and villages. Not forgetting that the bustling cities of Liverpool and Chester are only a short distance away.
We are a working farm and offer double and twin bedded rooms, two ensuite and one with a balcony. All rooms are non-smoking and have tea/coffee making facilities along with colour televisions. Centrally heated, our rooms all have views of the countryside around the farm. We also offer a static caravans for families, or those who prefer to do their own thing - prices for this are on application. Modern centrally heated and double glazed windows in keeping with the style and age of the building, our rooms all have views of the countryside around the farm.
You will have to go a long way to beat our true traditional farmhouse breakfasts. We also make our own apple juice from our orchards.
If you have a GPS or SAT-NAV unit just enter our post code (CH48 1PS), if not then M53 J2, straight over first roundabout, turn right at 2nd set of traffic lights (first set is a pedestrian crossing), straight across next roundabout and then first left after 1 mile. Farm house 300 yards on left through arch.

Fraser Potts knew exactly what he had to do as he stood on the banks of a swollen, fast-flowing river where a woman was struggling to stay afloat.
The young Manitoba RCMP constable removed his police vest, unholstered his gun belt and made the icy plunge, which instantly took his breath away.
"I didn't want this girl to die," Potts, 28, told the Free Press on Monday. "It was freezing cold. But I thought I had to try and save her."
And while Potts quickly brushed aside suggestions he's a hero, his actions in saving a life -- while putting his own on the line -- certainly meet the criteria of one.
The rescue began last Friday evening when Gypsumville RCMP were first called about a 22-year-old woman who had left her residence in Fairford with the intention of possibly harming herself. Fairford is located about 240 kilometres northwest of Winnipeg.
Potts and his partner, Const. Josh Maynard, were told by the woman's family she was believed to be headed to the Fairford Bridge. And that's exactly where they spotted her after making the 15-minute drive from their detachment in Gypsumville.
'I didn't want this girl to die. It was freezing cold. But I thought I had to try and save her'-- Const. Fraser Potts
"We pulled up to her car. But as soon as we did she just took off," said Potts.
There was no chance to have a conversation. No opportunity to try and talk her down from the emotional ledge she was perched on. Just a floored gas pedal and the stunning aftermath as she drove off the road and straight into the Fairford River, which had only just shed its ice cover days earlier.
"There was a big splash. We couldn't believe what happened," said Potts.
The car began floating downstream, and Potts and his partner saw the woman flee her car before it sank.
"It was kind of bobbing in the river. As soon as it started to go under, she came out the passenger window or door," said Potts.
He was now on foot, standing on the riverbank, while his partner radioed for backup and co-ordinated a potential water rescue. Potts started shouting to the woman.
"She was mumbling 'Can't swim, can't swim,'" said Potts. "I was trying to show her how to swim but the current was pulling her away."
'It was a real dangerous situation. We're very proud of the work he's done'-- Cpl. Miles Hiebert
Potts figured he and the woman had both travelled about 3/4 of a kilometre downstream when she began to disappear under the water.
"She went down, then came up, then went down again," he said. "I was just thinking 'Holy crap, she could die.' "
Potts has spent much of his life around water, including previous stints as a lifeguard in Waterloo, Ont. This is the first time he's ever had to put that training to use in the four years since he joined the Manitoba RCMP, all of them stationed in Gypsumville.
He tried to focus on the task at hand while swimming out to the woman, but the icy waters made it difficult as he began to lose feeling in his limbs. Potts reached the woman and told her to stay still, as he was worried she may try to fight him and make it impossible to rescue her.
Potts was attempting to swim to shore with the woman when a boat that had been put in the water by several Fairford band members came by to pull them both to safety. His partner, Maynard, was also inside the boat and had to drag him out of the water. They had gone a full two kilometres downstream from the Fairford Bridge.
"I couldn't really move my feet," said Potts. He is thankful for the local residents who helped out, conceding he might not have been able to make it to shore without them. "It's kind of hard to think about that," he said.
Both Potts and the woman were taken to hospital in Ashern for treatment. As he was being discharged late Friday night, Potts stopped by the room of the young woman, who had been joined by her parents.
"I asked her if she remembered what happened," he said. The woman seemed to still be in a daze, so Potts recounted the dramatic events that had taken place a few hours earlier.
"And she said thanks," he said. "Her parents were also very thankful."
RCMP Cpl. Miles Hiebert was quick to praise Potts, saying he went above and beyond the call of duty.
"It was a real dangerous situation. We're very proud of the work he's done," he said.
RCMP are continuing to investigate the incident and haven't ruled out potential charges against the woman, although the case may be one for mental-health services rather than the criminal courts.
Potts is just happy it all worked out in the end, admitting he's just realizing how close he came to his own demise now that the initial adrenaline has worn off.
"It hasn't really sunk in yet," he said. But he wouldn't change a thing, despite the risks.
"You'd just hate to see someone drown right in front of you," he said.

Who says turning hate into true love is impossible?
A few weeks ago, cracker company Honey Maid supported gay marriages through a commercial, showing same-sex couples and families celebrating life.
However, the brand received quite lot of anti-gay backlash on social media.
Instead of reacting to the negative comments with more negativity, Honey Maid took it up as an opportunity to turn all that hate into love.
Watch how they make it possible in the powerful video above.

I was asked to make a cake with a graduation figure-girl on it. I've never made figures before any suggestions or words of wisdom? should I use fondant, gumpaste, or a combo?
1 reply
I think use a combination of both would be best. The fondant will let you have more time to work with the piece and the gumpaste will allow it to dry faster and keep it's shape.
Good luck and have fun!

Ex-MLB pitcher Miller found dead
Justin Miller, who pitched seven years in the Major Leagues, was found dead Wednesday night at the age of 35. Miller's death was confirmed Friday by his agent, Matt Sosnick.
The cause of death hasn't been released by the Pinellas County Sheriff's Office.
"Wonderful guy, great client. Very disappointed," Sosnick told FOX Sports.
Miller pitched professionally for 15 years, including the seven years in the Majors. Miller most recently pitched for the Los Angeles Dodgers in 2010 and also pitched for the Toronto Blue Jays, Florida Marlins and San Francisco Giants. He compiled a record of 24-14 with a 4.82 ERA over his career.
His wife of 15 years, Jessica Miller, told the Tampa Bay Times he had been spending his retirement from baseball as a coach and "was gifted at putting things in a language that kids could understand."
"That was something he was really proud of," she told the Times.
Jessica Miller described her husband as a "homebody" who enjoyed spending time with their two sons, Joseph, 18, and Johnnie, 7, according to the report.
She called her husband's death "sudden" but was unsure of the cause.
"I think he'd want the world to know that he always did his best at work and at being a dad," she told the Times. "He always tried."
Miller was also one of the first pitchers in MLB to have his arms covered in tattoos. In 2004, MLB required Miller to wear long sleeves when he pitched after hitters were complaining that his tattoos were distracting them. The ruling came to be known as the "Justin Miller Rule."
The Associated Press contributed to this report.

Great Doctor
I had my first experience with Dr Camacho yesterday and I have to say it actually was enjoyable. She took the time to listen to my symptoms and history and gave great suggestions for treatment options. She didn't rush through the visit, and was very personable and friendly, not arrogant and short like a lot of doctors can be. I have to say that I love my primary care, but if he should leave the practice, Dr Camacho would be my first choice for a new PCP.

Not the best!
I saw Dr. Camacho for several years while she treated my anxiety and seizures to which she diagnosed me with a conversion disorder. No matter how bad my seizures got or how much my family begged her for possible solutions. My family and myself always thought it was epilepsy but she never listened. I felt like she labeled me and through me aside. After she switched practices, I began seeing another PCP who worked with my neurologists and finally diagnosed me with epilepsy and started treatment immediately. I was also informed that an MRI taken back in 2008 was misread and that I had 10 lesions on my brain. Needless to say, as much as I liked Dr camacho as a person, I don't think she is the best doctor.

She is the most caring doctor I have ever had the pleasure to know. She is pleasant, an excellent listener, and she has a smile that would make anyone feel better never mind she is very knowledgable. I can't say enough to describe how I feel about this incredible doctor.

Best Doctor I've ever had
I've been a patient of Dr. Camacho's for a couple years now. Because I've moved a few times, I've had several general physicians over the years. Dr. Camacho stands head and shoulders over all of them, mainly because she takes a personal interest in her patient's well-being. Yes, she's obviously extremely skilled and knowledgeable, but beyond that, she takes the time to really understand your health concerns and talks you through all aspects of treatment options, prognosis, etc. with patience and understanding. You don't find that too often these days.

Title: Long Walk Original Manuscript (Image #495)
Transcript: The following day I appeared before a senior magistrate for formal remand. I had appeared before him on numerous occasions in my professional capacity and he knew me quite well. On such occasions one is easily flattered by otherwise insignificant incidents. The court room was full of attorneys and spectotors most of whom nodded to me warmly. I was quite used to the idea of appearing in court as an accused person and the presence of my professional colleagues and members of the public encouraged me. Zami, sullen and worried, was present. Perhaps she was thinking of the many months and even years of rigid and humiliating life of a young and inexperienced woman in a wild city like Johannesburg without a husband. The only consolation I could offer her was a hearty nod and a broad smile as I descended the steps which led to the basement of the court. The case was remanded.
The magistrate appeared to be shy and uneasy and I cannot recall him looking directly at me during the brief proceedings. This encouraged me and I realised that even as an accused in the court of the oppressor I had an important role to play; that I represented the great ideals of democracy, truth and justice against the evil of racial oppression which was condemned not only by my people but by the entire world; but we could carry the fight even within the fortress of the enemy and finally disappear into prisons, but leaving behind us service and loyalty to the cause.
A short while thereafter Zami came to see me in the cells below. She brought me new pair of pyjamas and an expensive gown. Prison is no place for waring new clothes. I hesitated to accept the

Conflict Resolution - Dealing with Difficult People
All of us experience conflicts. We argue with our spouses, disagree with our friends, and sometimes even quarrel with strangers at a football game. At times we lose sight of the fact that all this conflict is normal. So long as people are individuals there will be the potential for conflict.

We were really please with the room, there was a comfortable double bed, lots of clothing storage space, a desk and chair, and a balcony with a nice view of the street and far to the left the sea. The flat was very clean and the host very sweetly offered to clean our room halfway through our stay which we declined. It was fine to cook in the kitchen and we were given our own space in the fridge and also in the bathroom. There was wifi which as very helpful planning our day and pick up emails. Due to the layout of the flat however the light source depended on our door being open which meant that we always left it open when we went out even though the host padlocked her own door.Jessica 已查看 Habitación junto a la playa en Barcelona - Poblenou 在 Sant Adrià de Besòs

Whether you are a new business starting out, an existing business looking to grow or would like to develop your workforce, there may be a suitable source of funding available to help. Grants to help with business development are available from a variety of sources, such as the Government, European Union, local authorities and some charitable organisations. These grants may be linked to business activity or a specific industry sector and some may also be linked to geographical areas.
Business support grant scheme
A recent business survey identified grant funding as a key area of support which would help businesses at the current time. Therefore we have developed a programme of three business support grants, aimed at:
- Supporting businesses that operate from home.
- Encouraging new business start-ups.
- Helping existing businesses to develop and grow.
It is also hoped that the programme will encourage occupation of premises and provide support for local retail and business centres, whilst also promoting increased entrepreneurship and investment.
What do I need to do next?
Online application forms will be available here, shortly. In the meantime, please contact our Economic Development team on 01684 272249 or email firstname.lastname@example.com to register an interest.
