I overheard some women talking the other day from what I understood one mentioned that men in their late 20's and 30's automatically are looking for marriage. Is this true? I'm 29 and not looking for marriage because of what I see going on out there.
Most Helpful Guy
Commitment and monogamy, yes. Cohabitation, yes (eventually). Marriage, no.00|01|0
and see this is why I am troubled.
- Show AllShow Less
I never called it silly. I'm asking her why, when her bf appears to want all the major things that normally come with marriage (home, kids, family), that she has such a flippant and angry dismissal ("should have seen how fast my middle finger went up") simply because it doesn't involve a ring and a signed piece of paper. Is a ring on her finger really more important than having a family with someone she loves, that she'd reject it all just because there's no official piece of paper that says "Mr and Mrs So and So"?
because it's what she wants. if he doesn't want it then they're not as compatible as she thought. to me it would be important enough to leave over. i would never have children out of wedlock.

The 2015 Hyundai Tucson is a stylish choice in the compact crossover segment, with solid but unexciting powertrains and a strong feature set.
Some compact crossovers channel tougher SUVs in their design and equipment, but not the Hyundai Tucson. Like rivals from Ford and Kia and Honda, it puts all its effort into smoothing out the road ahead, and coddling as many as five passengers--on the street, not in the dirt.
It starts with the design. Sharp lines up front flow into curvaceous forms along the sides and rear that say sedan more than they do SUV. The profile view is all curves, with subtle rises for the fenders. LED taillamps and projector headlamps with LED accents are modern touches available on some models, while an available panoramic sunroof helps cast it in a more upscale light. The interior's just a shade less dramatic than the exterior, but it fits right in with the rest of the current Hyundai lineup.
Last year, Hyundai gave the Tucson a pretty substantial mechanical upgrade, with new direct-injection engines as well as new Sachs dual-path dampers. The engines make just a little more torque than those of the same size (2.0-liter and 2.4-liter) fitted previously, and fuel efficiency is up slightly, too. It's still probably wise to stick with the 2.4-liter versions; the 2.0-liter is only adequate. In either case, there's no manual; a responsive six-speed automatic makes the shifts. Previous Tucsons tended to ride somewhat harshly, and the new dampers improve comfort without negatively affecting handling.
There's a good amount of head and leg room in front. The seats themselves have good back support, although the bottom cushion is short and tilts down a bit too much; and that can make them uncomfortable on anything more than a short drive. The rear seat has just enough headroom for taller adults, and good leg room. Given the choice, we'd steer clear of the optional leather seats: the front leather buckets have short bottom cushions that tilt down at their leading edge, leaving them less comfortable than they could be.
Safety is sweet and sour. While visibility is actually quite good, and the Tucson checks all the right safety boxes, crash-test results place it mid-pack among compact crossovers. Its four-star federal scores and 'poor' small overlap frontal results don't approach the top tier, which includes vehicles like the Subaru Forester.
Standard features for the base Hyundai Tucson include air conditioning, Bluetooth hands-free calling and audio streaming, keyless entry, a USB port, satellite radio, and power windows, locks, and mirrors. Automatic headlights, fog lights, and heated front seats are also included in the GLS. SE models also now add a rearview camera system and 4.3-inch touch screen. The top Tucson Limited adds leather seating, navigation (a new system with a larger seven-inch touch screen), as well as voice recognition, HD Radio, and the BlueLink suite of services.
Changes for 2015 are limited. There's a new Popular Equipment Package available on the base GLS model, adding items like a touchscreen radio and power driver's seat, while Limited models now get LED taillights as standard equipment.
Fuel-economy figures range from a low of 20 mpg city and 25 highway for an AWD 2.4-liter model to a high of 23 mpg city and 29 highway on the front-drive 2.0-liter model. These aren't stellar numbers, but they're within range of most of the others in the segment.

There are three aspects to a good black forest anything. Cake, cheesecake, cupcakes or even a trifle. You need chocolate cake, cherries and whipped cream.
If you have those three items, then your black forest item will turn out fantastic.
So what makes these black forest cupcakes amazing? Well you have to start with a moist and delicious chocolate cupcake.
Second you need some good cherries. Any cherry pie filling will do, and I highly recommend splurging and getting the kind with "extra cherries." Not only will these top your cupcakes, they'll also be the filling in the cupcakes.
Third you need a good, homemade, whipped cream frosting. Something smooth enough to pipe and stiff enough to stay in place but not be thick and powdered sugary.
Now if you've followed me and my cupcake adventures, you'll know that I am obsessed with FILLED cupcakes.
I honestly don't like cupcakes that aren't filled. They tend to be dry and boring.
I prefer a moist cupcake with some kind of gooey filling that makes a mess on your face, hands and possibly even your shirt. That my friends is how you know you have a good cupcake, in which these black forest cupcakes are all of the above!
I'm also in need of some new cupcake flavors so comment below on what your favorite is! Black Forest Cupcakes are in my top 5 for sure!

The Magic of the Cities.
Zen promotes the rediscovery of the obvious, which is so often lost in its familiarity and simplicity. It sees the miraculous in the common and magic in our everyday surroundings. When we are not rushed, and our minds are unclouded by conceptualizations, a veil will sometimes drop, introducing the viewer to a world unseen since childhood. ~ John Greer

T. N. Dinh, M. T. Thai, Hien T. Nguyen; Bound and Exact Methods for Assessing Link Vulnerability in Complex Networks; Journal of Combinatorial Optimization, Vol. 28 (2014), pp. 3 – 24 (SCIE).
Assessing network systems for failures is critical to mitigate the risk and develop proactive responses. In this paper, we investigate devastating consequences of link failures in networks. We propose an exact algorithm and a spectral lower-bound on the minimum number of removed links to incur a significant level of disruption. Our exact solution can identify optimal solutions in both uniform and weighted networks through solving a well-constructed mixed integer program. Also, our spectral lower-bound derives from the Laplacian eigenvalues an estimation on the vulnerability of large networks that are intractable for exact methods. Through experiments on both synthetic and real-world networks, we demonstrate the efficiency of the proposed methods.

Syd Greaves was a railway porter who took charge of the Ogdens' tandem when they got the train to Morecambe. Stan and Hilda were planning to cycle through Lancashire on the tandem but left it with Syd at his suggestion when he noted that they were already worn out by the short ride from their home to Weatherfield Train Station.
When the Ogdens got back they kept up the pretence that they rode the tandem but no one was fooled as Syd had returned the bike to Ray Langton a few days earlier.

About MeI have been doing some modeling for a while now since I was in college. Mainly doing artist modeling. I want to broaden my portfolio more and start making this a carrier instead of something I love to do on the side. I have always loved everything that has to do with photography and even have my minor in it. I love when people can change the way look with just different lighting tricks and make up and I love to dress up. I am high energy and very outgoing.

UK-based corrugated packaging specialist Diamondpak is setting course for further expansion with plans to recruit around 20 new staff across its two sites in Pontypool and Bristol. The company will be recruiting apprentices, factory and office workers.
Managing director Russell Davies explained that increasing demand for internet postal packaging and other specialist products is fuelling the company's growth.
"We have achieved 15-20% growth each year since 2012 and we are expecting to improve on that in 2016," he said.
"Over the past few months we have been investing in new machinery to make our plant more efficient, which in turn has given us greater capacity and opportunities.
"While demand for 'peal and seal' book wraps is increasing, we are also securing more orders for point of sale products, through our Bristol plant PH Laminators, and large 'pallet' boxes."
During the past three years, Diamondpak has doubled its workforce to 65 and, while recruitment is high on the agenda, Mr Davies said training and development remains a priority.

Hey girls I'm getting tired of taking my hair straight down to school.I was wondering if ya have a good site that shows how to make simple hair style or something like that.I'm having trouble doing something with it I know I have to get creative but it's too long now.
Most Helpful Girl
since your hair is really long, you could do something like a messy bun and braid.
^^^ like that!
all you have to do is this :(I got it from in style)
this look is ideal for "second day hair". squeaky clean tresses can be harder to style. but it souldne be greasy either so use bumble and bumble brown hair powder to absorb oil at the roots, then parted hair down the middle
make a small brair on each side of the part then secure with elastics. its okay if peices stick out, the braids shouldnt look too precious
coil the remaining hair into a loose messy bun, then bring the braids back over your ears, crisscross them, and pin at the nape.
i hope this helps.
and also, you should get sidebangs, they look great on pretty much everyone.
you can also wear bows in your hair, I do a lot and actually, guys LOVE it!
i don't know why but they are really attracted to bows.
even just a headband or ribbon will make your hair seem more "done"
i hope helped if you have any questions just ask me!

Free surface, open channel
I am using the tutorial on http://www.studentfluent.com to look at the flow over a cylinder. Now I want to have an free surface at the top and my second fluid at the top is just atmo. what I have done so far is:
Turned on Gravity and set the gravitational acceleration in x direction to 9.81 m/s^2
Enabled the volume of fluid model.
Opened the Multiphase Model panel >>> Models Multiphase...
turned on Volume of Fluid.
Under VOF Scheme, I need to select either Implicit, Explicit, or Geo-Reconstruct, which on should I use?
Under VOF Parameters,I have selected Open Channel Flow.
Would that be all the neccessary parameters ? thanks for the help :)
Re: Free surface, open channel
I guess you want to catch the interface between both your fluids...You have to choose the Geo-Reconstruct scheme. Try to keep the defaults parameters
Re: Free surface, open channel
Hi, If you want to run transient simulation, the best is Géo-Rconstruct to catch the interface.(Euler and Géo-reconstruct are necessary in transient mode i remenber) if simulations need too long time, you can try VOF-Implicit in steady-time run.
Other parameter are: -indicate each fluid for the two phases in the panel 'Multiphase' -turn on operating density in 'operating condition' (indicate the lowest denisty of the two fluid) -Indicate inlet and outlet boundary condition for each phase -You have to use Body Weighted solver (if gravity is activated) and PISO (with 0 Skewness correction)
I hope this can help me correct me if error

9 Now about your love for one another we do not need to write to you,for you yourselves have been taught by God to love each other. 10 And in fact, you do love all of God's family throughout Macedonia. Yet we urge you, brothers and sisters, to do so more and more, 11 and to make it your ambition to lead a quiet life: You should mind your own business and work with your hands, just as we told you, 12 so that your daily life may win the respect of outsiders and so that you will not be dependent on anybody.
Are you doing good for the recognition it brings, or to obey God? Pray this week for God to show you what good deeds He would like you to do that only you and He know about—no one else. Let your prayers lead you to the discipline of doing good in secret.

The present invention relates to using a smart card key for high security printers and insuring access only when a unique password is provided as well as printing markings from information stored in the smart card key memory.
Smart cards, which are identification cards made from the traditional poly vinyl chloride/polyester cards having an integrated circuit embedded in the card, allowing for information to be stored in the card itself, are widely used. Typically the integrated circuit consists of either a memory or a microprocessor with memory. In order for a smart card to be encoded in the printer, the printer must have a smart card encoder.
One of the problems inherent in identification card printers is that anyone with access to the files or even to a inexpensive commercial drafting software program can recreate the identification card and print forgeries. This problem is particularly acute in locations where the printer, software, files, and other computer hardware are set up in a single area.
The present invention relates to maintaining security of a printer and its user by having a secure smart card key. The printer is, as shown, an identification card printer and has an externally accessible smart card encoder that can be used for initializing a smart card that forms a key. A further use of the externally accessible smart card encoder is to read the smart card and allow or prevent access. It is also possible to encode smart cards inside the printer, if so desired, by placing a second encoding device in the internal printing path of the printer.
Because a smart card can have a large amount of memory storage, both a digital image (such as a security mark for cards to be printed) and passwords can be stored in the smart card memory. The printers also can have large capacity Electrically Erasable Programmable Read Only Memory (EEPROM), as well as read only memory (ROM).
The first password usage of the smart card key is to enable printing by a selected identification card printer. The second password usage is to enable printing a specialized print panel for a security mark using a stored digital image in the smart card key memory. The ability to enable password protected printing only is provided initially in a computer program for the printer drive computer which converts computer images into digital data for printing cards. The computer program or software includes user interface items for setting passwords, duplicating smart cards, and loading images onto smart card memory. In addition, the selected password would also be stored in the associated identification card printer memory.
A match between the password in printer memory and the password in the smart card key memory is required to enable printing as the basic security feature. Thus, the smart card would act as the only key to allow the printer to print. The ability to store a digital representation of a security mark to be printed onto an identification card being printed by the card printer controlled by the smart card key prevents unauthorized use of the security mark, since accessibility to the mark is limited to the holder of the smart card key with the correct password.
Another aspect of the invention is an algorithmic unlocking mechanism available to users of the smart card key having a high security password feature, in case they ever lost the encoded smart card key or forgot the password. High security as used herein means that the password cannot be easily changed or bypassed. Printers are now equipped with a counter mechanism to count the number of passes that the printhead has made during the operation of the printer, or provide other changing counts. This number can be accessed and displayed on the display of the printer or the number can be printed on an I.D. card in the printer. The counter is a conventional system used in a wide variety of devices. In addition, other changing parameters in a printer can be used for a count, for example, a count of the number of cards printed in the printer can be recorded and used for this invention.
After a selected procedure by the owner of the printer, which verifies ownership of the high security printer, an algorithm is applied to the number generated by the counting mechanism. The algorithm is selected to produce an unlocking number unique to each number of the printer head pass count, a range of printer head pass counts or number of cards printed, as recorded by the counter in that printer. This can be done automatically by the printer if a smart card key used does not have an acceptable password. The count is based on a dynamic parameter unique to that particular printer. A duplicate algorithm to the one in printer memory is kept at a secure location, for example at the premises of the printer manufacturer. The printer manufacturer, after verifying the identity of the owner through a personal identification number, will use the algorithm to generate a one time usable unlocking number.
The owner is then issued this one time usable unlocking number generated from the algorithm at the secure location, which is entered through the host computer in place of the password from the smart card key. The printer will apply or compare the unlocking number generated in printer memory with the number generated from the secure location. If the algorithmically generated number entered by the user matches the algorithmic unlocking number generated in the printer, then the printer will accept and perform the current command given to the printer, such as a command to create a new smart card key or to disable the security feature entirely, or to change the password.
Although the printer memory stores the algorithmic unlocking code, the stored code cannot be used to unlock the printer without the separate algorithmic application, using the same algorithm, but kept at site unrelated to the user, thus protecting the security of the printer. The security value is that the pass count number (or other unique number) from the counter mechanism of the printer is one that the user has no control over, is constantly changing, and cannot be manipulated.
Once the printer has continued to print and the number of printhead passes counted and stored in printer memory has changed, the previously generated unlocking number will no longer match the number produced by the algorithm in the EEPROM of the printer after the change and therefore, the old number will not allow the printer to function.

Smart card encoding is well known in the identification card printer industry. Identification card printers such as the FARGO Cheetah II printer sold by Fargo Electronics of Eden Prairie, Minn. have the capability of encoding smart cards. However, the Cheetah II printer encodes smart cards internally rather than having the encoder externally accessible. As shown herein the smart card is removable and is thus usable as a key for operating a device that is controlled to perform some operation, such as a printer.
In FIG. 1, the general layout of usable, typical components is shown. A computer 100 is connected to a controllable device having a memory, as shown a printer 30, and is used for the initial and subsequent programming. A monitor 102 can be used for the display menus from a software program for encoding a removable memory device key, as shown a smart card key 10, through the input slot on the printer for an encoder 13 as will be explained. Operator inputs from a keyboard 104 are used for selecting the functions, and a power supply 106 is used for powering both the computer 100 and the printer 30. The software for the control of the security features of the present invention is installed in the computer in a normal manner, including a CD to provide the necessary programming for enabling smart card key 10 and providing a selected password that is entered in the smart card key memory 10A. As will be shown, the smart card key is slid into a slot 12 (FIG. 2) in printer 30 and the smart card key 10 contains an embedded integrated circuit 50 (FIG. 4) chip that has integrated circuit contacts accessible from the exterior. The contacts will complete circuits from the printer or computer to the memory on the chip.
The removable memory device, as shown a smart card with external contacts 10, can be a contactless smart card, a radio frequency (RF) identification card, a PCMCIA card, or a compact "flash module" (used currently in digital photography) or any other type of removable memory device. Thus, the encoding device does not need contacts if a contactless removable memory device key is used. This description will show a contact arrangement with for the smart card key.
The computer 100 will be used to select a particular printer 30 that is being used, and in which the card key 10 is inserted. The initializing menu from the program will have prompts that will include a prompt for entering a password selected by the user, and for example up to an eight character password using any standard alphanumeric keyboard characters is entered. Once the password is entered, it can be confirmed by typing it again into a "confirm" password box presented by the menu.
If the smart card key 10 is being used with multiple printers, it can be encoded appropriately with just the password for identification, but if the smart card key 10 is used with only one printer, it will receive and retain in memory the printer serial number, along with the encoded password to a specific smart card key, making all other access cards or key cards created in other printers invalid. If more than one printer is utilized, then each printer can be enabled with the same password.
Once the password has been entered into the computer 100, it will be passed through the printer memory indicated at 30A, from driver software 16 to the card 10, and imprinted in an electrically erasable programmable read only memory (EEPROM) 10A of the chip 50 on the smart card key 10.
Once the smart card key has been programmed with a password, it can only be changed under certain selected circumstances or conditions, and these are controlled as desired from the computer 100, but require information separate from the computer to be operated. Generally it will be necessary to have the card 10 in the printer 30 and then connected to the computer 100 for changing the password and only when the correct password match between the card memory 10A and printer memory, unless the unlocking algorithmic procedure to be described is followed.
Additionally, if desired, the card printer 30 can be used to print a security image or mark onto cards that are being printed using a special ribbon layer. The printing of the security mark is controlled from a digital image program that is entered in the EEPROM 10A of the smart card key 10. This digital image can be entered from the software program of computer 100 for inputting information into the EEPROM 10A, and the image, such as that shown at 122 in FIG. 5 on an identification card 120 printed on printer 30, can only be viewed when the card is tilted slightly for reflecting light. These security mark images can be made to glow when viewed under an ultraviolet light. The image 122 can be put any place on a card that is to be printed as desired. The storing of the security mark or image in the smart card key memory only insures that such image or mark will only be printed when the correct smart card key is used, since the printer 30 will not operate until the password on that key 10 matches the printer password.
The digital input to print such an image, and other security features are in the EEPROM 10A on the card only. After entry of the information, the inputted digital file for the image is deleted automatically or manually.
The printer driver software 16 can be imbedded in a microprocessor in the printer if desired, and the use of the card 10 for enabling a printer 30 can be done with the printer 30 standing alone, and powered. The printer 30 will normally be used with the computer 100, but the printer includes memory of its own (both ROM and EEPROM). Once the password is entered into the printer memory, the printer memory will perform the needed functions.
Upon receiving a "print" command, the printer memory determines whether or not the security feature has been enabled on the controlled device, as shown the printer 30. If the security feature has been enabled, then the removable memory device card, as shown smart card key 10, must be present in slot 12, and if so, then the memory in the printer will interrogate the card 10 to determine the password in memory on the card and compare it with the password that is in the printer memory. Only if the password matches, will the printer operation be undertaken. FIG. 3 depicts a smart card 10 that is provided with an integrated circuit chip 50 having a password in memory.
A smart card key 10 is placed into slot 12 in printer 30. The encoder 13 used to initialize and read the smart card key 10 is thus externally accessible as shown in FIG. 2. The control panel 11 of the printer 30 has an LCD display 14 and command buttons 15. The smart card key memory chip 50 can be read through external or export contacts 52. The contacts 52 are engaged by spring loaded contacts 13A in the encoder slot. The coupling to the smart card key memory 10A is made as the card is "clicked" into place. Insertion of the smart card key 10 with the integrated circuit facing the correct way through the slot 12 allows contacts to complete circuits to the memory on chip 50, which is encoded electronically.
The contacts 52 are used for initially placing information into the integrated circuit memory of chip 50 as well as reading stored information. The commands are generated in the computer 100 or printer 30 in a normal manner, and for printing can be processed through the printer memory.
Commands are presented in a flow chart in FIG. 6. Each particular printer, in order to interface with any software program run on a computer must have a printer driver 16 to provide the link up to the computer. The driver 16 forming part of computer 100 provides the operator with a menu of choices, as shown, disable password 17, enable password 18, change password 19, duplicate password 20, and set up security shield 21. The operator will choose which menu option is utilized to download corresponding information to the smart card key 10 in a conventional routine.
In order to initially provide a smart card key memory with a digital image of a security mark, such as a logo stored digitally in the memory of the smart card, the operator must choose the "set up security shield " menu step 21. The driver program 16 in the computer controlling the printer then requests position information at step 26 and gives the operator options for positioning the shield or mark at step 27. The positioning is information about the location of the security mark on the identification card 120 in FIG. 5 that is printed in the printer 30.
FIG. 5 shows a printed Identification Card 120 with a digital image or security mark 122 that can be printed in various locations on the identification card. These locations can be varied by changing the location in software located in the computer 100 attached to the printer 30. The number of digital images can also be varied by changing the number of digital images created in software located in the computer attached to the printer.
From a graphics software application in computer 100, where the digital image of a mark has been constructed, the operator selects the "select security shield " step 37 from the printer setup in the graphic application and then chooses print step 38 from the graphics application. The print command step 38 will start the process to transmit both the digital image and the location information to the smart card key 10 memory, rather than commanding the printer to print, when the security shield mode at step 37 has been selected.
Next, the image seal is processed into the appropriate format at step 28, and then transmit the digital image and settings at step 29 to the printer 30. The printer 30 then transmits the image and settings at step 31 to the smart card key integrated circuit memory 10A via the smart card key encoder 13.
It would be possible for a skilled practitioner to create a separate program specifically written to enable the transfer of the digital image data and location data within the teachings of the present invention.
To enable (create) a password or to make changes in the password, other menu options are used at the computer 100, as provided by software in the computer. The password information is to be stored in the memory on the same smart card key 10 as that used for storing the digital image to be printed by printer 30 as just described. In order to place a password onto the smart card, key 10, the "enable password" menu option 18 must be chosen. The computer driver program then prompts the operator to enter the selected password at step 22 and confirm the password at step 23 as was previously mentioned.
The operator then has the option to make the smart card specific to a single printer by choosing the "yes" option of the printer specific card prompt at step 39. The printer 30 has an Electrical Erasable Programmable Read Only Memory (EEPROM) that contains a serial number for that printer that can also be encoded into the smart card key memory through encoder 13. Once encoded to the key memory, the printer serial number would be compared in the same manner as the passwords, which would prevent the printer 30 from printing unless both the password and the serial number matched. The password from the smart card key 10 is then transmitted as a send command 32 to the printer 30 where the printer memory decodes the message at step 33, verifies the password, step 34, and executes the command message at step 35 if the printer is enabled by the correct password.
To change the password, the operator must insert the smart card key 10 into the encoder 13, then select the "change password" menu option 19 from the software in the computer 100. The current password must be entered as shown by step 36. The operator is prompted to enter the new password as at step 24 and confirm the new password as at step 25. The new password is then transmitted as a send command at step 32 to the printer 30 where the printer decodes the message at step 33, verifies the password, step 34, and executes the command message step 35.
To duplicate the password as shown at menu option 20, the operator must insert the originally encoded smart card key 10 into the encoder 13, then select the "duplicate password" menu option 20. The current password must be entered at step 22A to verify that operation is authorized and the change can be made. The password is then transmitted as a send command at step 32 to the printer 30 where the printer memory decodes the message at step 33, and verifies the password at step 34. Then the printer driver prompts the operator to remove the original smart card key 10 and place a new smart card key 10 into the encoder 13. The printer 30 then executes the command message at step 35. The changes can be made only if the original password on the smart card key 10 has been entered.
To disable the password, the operator must insert the smart card key 10 into the encoder 13, then select the "disable password" menu option 17 at the computer 100. The current password must be entered at step 22B and the password to be disabled is then transmitted as a send command 32 to the printer 30 where the printer decodes the message at step 33, verifies the password at step 34, and executes the command message at step 35.
It would be clear to a skilled practitioner in the art that these commands could be structured in a variety of permutations. Any of those known permutations may be used as long as security is maintained.
Once the smart card key 10 has been encoded, the password encoded on the smart card key 10 can be stored in the printer EEPROM 30B. The EEPROM 30B on the printer 30 also contains the unique serial number for that printer. When an operator has encoded the smart card key 10 and wants to print, the operator reinserts the smart card key 10 into the encoder 13. The printer 30 then copies the information contained in the integrated circuit memory of the Smart Card to the printer's Random Accessible Memory (RAM) 30A. The printer RAM 30A then compares the password and, if the option of making the smart card key 10 specific to one printer has been chosen, the RAM compares the serial number on smart card key 10 to the password and serial number retained in the printer EEPROM 30B. If the passwords in both memory locations (card and printer) match, then the printer 30 will enable the print commands to proceed. The printer will continue to allow the print commands until the smart card key 10 is removed from encoder 13. Once the smart card key 10 is removed from the encoder 13, the same process has to be repeated for the printer 30 to start printing again.
When an operator has encoded the smart card key 10 with a digital image such as a logo and wants to print identification cards that contain the logo such as that shown at 120 in FIG. 5, the operator must reinsert the smart card key 10 into the encoder 13. The printer 30 then copies the information contained in the integrated circuit memory on the smart card key 10 to the printer's Random Accessible Memory (RAM) 30C. The printer memory then compares the passwords and, if included, the serial number from card key 10 to the passwords and serial number retained in the printer EEPROM. If correct, the printer stores the digital image and the location information transmitted from the smart card key 10 in the RAM memory. The printer is programmed to check to see if the ribbon with the specialized security mark panel is loaded into the printer 30, and if the correct ribbon is loaded, and if the passwords in both memory locations match, the printer will commence the print cycle. The printer will continue to allow the print commands until the smart card key 10 is removed from encoder 13. Once the smart card key 10 is removed from the encoder, the same process would need be repeated for the printer 30 to start printing again.
A practitioner skilled in the art would be able to discern that saving the password in the computer or not saving the password at all and requiring the operator to enter the password each time that the operator used the printer 30 could accomplish the same increase in security of the printer 30 within the scope of the present invention.
A counting device or counter 30D (FIG. 1) is added to either a circuit board in the printer or to the print head mechanism itself for counting the number of passes of the print head 30E during printing or counting the number of cards. An electronic counting device or counter in printer memory would be the preferred embodiment but other counting devices such as a mechanical counting device could be used for recording a changing event as printing progresses.
In every instance where the printer is given a command, the process shown in FIG. 7 occurs. The command step 40 is given to the printer 30. The printer 30 memory determines if the printer is security enabled at step 41. If the answer is no at step 42, (no security check is needed) the printer 30 proceeds with the command as at 43. If the answer is yes at step 44, then the printer 30 determines if the smart card key 10 is inserted into the slot 12 of the encoder 13 and if the correct password is encoded onto the smart card key at step 45. If the answer is yes at 46, the printer memory then determines if the user password is needed at step 47 and matches the password in the printer EEPROM 30B. If the password is not needed as at step 48, the printer proceeds with the command given, step 49. If the password is needed and matches, then the printer proceeds with the command at step 51.
If the printer memory determines that the smart card key 10 is not inserted into the slot 12 or if the incorrect password is encoded onto the smart card key memory, at 45, or if the user password is needed as at step 47 and the password on key 10 does not match the password in the printer EEPROM, then the printer 30 automatically runs an internal check of the print head pass count at step 54 using the counter.
The printer algorithmically processes the print head pass count at step 45 using an algorithm stored in printer memory to get a unique internal unlocking code number. The printer memory then compares the internal unlocking code number to the user entered password on the key 10 at step 56.
This separate code number can also be derived from a duplicate algorithm kept apart from the printer, which also uses count of the events counted by the printer. If there is a match at step 57 between the internal unlocking code number and the user entered password (or unlocking number), then the printer will proceed with the command at step 58. If there is not a match at step 59 between the printer internal unlocking code number and the user entered password, then the printer will abort the command at step 60 and remain locked.
In the event that a user loses the encoded smart card key or misplaces their password, the unlocking process in FIG. 10 is followed. As part of the present invention, users encoding the smart card key or enabling the password protection features of the printer contact an off-site verification location and can send a Personal Identification Number (PIN). PIN numbers are commonly used in such applications as ATM machines and for credit cards. PIN applications are well known in the art. Once a PIN number has been established, the user would have to verify the PIN number at step 61 or give some unrefutable evidence that the user is entitled to use that printer before any assistance in unlocking the printer would be given. When the user identification process is completed, the user is given a command from the off-site location that allows the print head pass count (or other count) to be displayed on a display 14 or printed on an identification card in the printer, at step 62. The print head pass count is then displayed at step 63 either on the LCD display 14 or on the identification card. The user relays the count selected to the off-site location at step 64. The off-site location is anticipated to be the headquarters of the printer manufacturer. The print head pass count is then put through the same algorithm as at step 55 which is contained in the printer. The resulting unlocking number at step 56 is then given back to the printer operator 65. The printer operator then enters the unlocking number in place of the user password which starts the internal printer process as described above.
In summary, for unlocking a printer in case of a lost card, the memory in the printer contains an algorithm, which is a number generating algorithm that will provide a discrete output number based upon an input number the value of which outside the control the operator of the printer, such as a count of the number of print passes or cards printed, which count can be done with an internal counter in the printer. These numbers can be shown on a display on the printer, upon a command from the operator (which command also may be known only to the manufacturer) and using the algorithm and the variable number, the printer can generate a dynamically changing security number or password.
If the password on the smart card key does not match the password in printer memory, the memory in the printer can provide the algorithmically generated password automatically to see if it matches an override password. The override can be inputted from the computer 100, if desired, and if the algorithmically generated number in the printer is matched, then the printer can be operated, and can be used without a password or a new smart card key can be encoded with a new password that is generated.
The algorithm used is discrete for each particular count, and this permits a party that has lost a smart card key or password to call to the manufacturer, (or other off-site locations) who has the algorithm in memory identified by the printer serial number, and upon identification of the user, the user can provide the count that is used as an algorithm input, and the off-site manufacturer then can run the algorithm with that discrete count inputted and provide a number that can be used as a separate auxiliary security unlock. This number can be put into a smart card key that would be provided to the user, or can be generated in the computer 100 for comparison with the algorithmically generated number from the printer memory using the same algorithm as that used by the manufacturer. A match then also will disable the security system for operation and for encoding and accepting a new password on a new removable memory device or smart card key.
The algorithm can be a normal number generating algorithm based upon an input number that varies or changes as the printer is used.
The removable memory device or card can be provided with a password in memory so it is a key to permit operation of a printer or another controllable device that performs operations. The removable memory device or card is a key to operating the controllable device and permits operation only when the card is associated with the externally accessible encoder and a password match is made.
Although the present invention has been described with reference to preferred embodiments, workers skilled in the art will recognize that changes may be made in form and detail without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention.

Hi everyone, I would really appreciate it if you can give me some conversation topics for a date...I know the guy, he is actually my friend...but we never hung out alone together and talked though we have made-out with each other...so I just want some good conversation topics for this date in case we run out of things to say...I'm really nervous...Thanks!
Most Helpful Girl
From experience, when I try to force random topics or "plan it out" I end up getting really nervous. Just keep a natural flow. Dates are the time to get to know each other so ask him questions about himself. Stuff that you really want to know. That turns into a conversation. Avoid talking about yourself unless he asks.22|00|0

Working Out With...
Slide Show >>
Collapsed on a black gym mat with his long limbs splayed, Danny Meyer looks like a frog. Not the frog featured in the Poached Organic Egg with Everglades Frogs' Legs and Oregon Blue Foot Mushrooms that is on the $76 tasting menu at Eleven Madison Park, one of Meyer's 11 New York restaurants. No, after a strenuous 60-minute workout, his eyes are glassy, his legs are floppy, and his skin has a sweaty sheen.
Considering that Meyer, 48, spends nearly every waking moment around food, you might think he subjects himself to the one-hour equivalent of Marine Corps boot camp simply to stay thin. But Meyer, who was a husky kid, says his thrice-weekly workout session with fitness guru David Kirsch isn't about keeping a lid on his weight (165 pounds). "I use this time to work out my aggression and stress," he says. He also gets an energy boost.
Before he started training with Kirsch four years ago, his main exercise was running. Yet with all the time Meyer spent on his feet and all the lifting that came from parenting four kids, now 7 to 13, "my back was killing me."
Meyer tried to alter his exercise routine by visiting a downtown gym, but customers constantly spotted him and wanted to talk food. "It wasn't my time," he says. A St. Louis native, Meyer is too Midwestern and too focused on hospitality to be anything but polite. In fact, he spells out his philosophy on keeping customers and staff happy in his new book, Setting the Table: The Transforming Power of Hospitality in Business (HarperCollins). "Business, like life, is all about how you make people feel," Meyer writes. "It's that simple, and it's that hard."
Meyer knew Kirsch as a customer, and the trainer invited him to his private gym, Madison Square Club, for a workout. After one distraction-free session, Meyer was hooked. The gym is also less than a 10-minute walk from his home and five of his 11 restaurants, which include the Union Square Cafe and the Gramercy Tavern. That was appealing, too.
To cure Meyer's back problems, Kirsch designed a fitness regimen that emphasizes building his core strength. The entire workout is typically focused on abdominal exercises, which may include -- much to Meyer's dismay -- stomach crunches holding a medicine ball that he tosses back and forth to Kirsch as he sits up. "You are mean, mean, mean," Meyer says as he nears his 15th sit-up. Another ab exercise he loathes requires him to hold his upper body in a pushup position while kicking his feet out across the floor. Kirsch varies the workout menu to keep it interesting.
Meyer may be the culinary expert, but Kirsch dishes out plenty of dietary advice. Meyer showed up for his first workout wearing a "Grateful Palate Bacon of the Month Club" T-shirt. Kirsch -- whose idea of a gourmet meal is an egg-white frittata with turkey sausage and a vitamin shake -- banned the shirt. Meyer learned to be mindful about what he consumes the night before a workout. "David can actually tell what I ate for dinner," Meyer says. Pasta is out, since Kirsch will chide him for having a bloated "carb face."
Clearly some of Kirsch's eat-healthy edicts have rubbed off: Meyer tries to have a salad for lunch, and he serves Kirsch's proprietary vitamin drinks at the Shake Shack, his upscale hot dog and hamburger stand in Madison Square Park.
The client-trainer relationship can be an adversarial one, as when your trainer is yelling at you to hold wobbly legs in a squat for another 30 seconds. Expletives fly. "I know he is on my side," Meyer pants, as he does side crunches off a bench with Kirsch sitting on his feet. "But sometimes it doesn't feel that way." Yet the two clearly like each other. They compare notes on baseball -- Meyer is a St. Louis Cardinals fan, but he holds season tickets for Kirsch's favorite team, the New York Mets.
Sometimes Meyer can't resist tormenting his torturer: "Anyone want to go to the Shake Shack? I think I'll get the cheese fries," he says after he collapses on the mat for his final stretch. Although Meyer is a sweaty mess, the session ends with a hug, albeit one with a clean towel between the two men.

Bio. of Orville James ~ son of Benjamin and Melissa (Ritcheson) James
Orville James, popular ex-sheriff of Buena Vista county and for a number of years one of the leading business men and enterprising citizens of this locality, and now living in honorable retirement in Storm Lake, was not favored by
inherited wealth or the assistance of influential friends at the outset of his career, but by perseverance, industry and the exercise of sound judgment, has attained a comfortable station in life, and has made his influence felt for the general good of his community and county. Mr. James was born in Wyandot county, Ohio, on the 19th of September, 1844, and is a son of Benjamin and Melissa (Ritcheson)James, the former a native of Maine and the latter of Ohio, where they were married and spent their remaining years. They were the parents of eleven children.
Orville James was reared in the Buckeye state and attended the public schools of his home neighborhood. On September 23, 1863, at the age of nineteen years, he enlisted in Company A, Twelfth Regiment Ohio Volunteer Cavalry, with
which command he served until the end of the Civil war, escaping without injury, though he took part in a number of the most hotly-contested battles of that conflict. He was mustered out at Nashville, Tennessee, and received his
honorable discharge at Camp Chase, Ohio. He then went to Crawford county, Ohio, where he was employed at day labor until 1872, when he came to Storm Lake, Iowa. For a time he followed farming and also handled live stock for a
number of years but at length engaged in the livery business in Storm Lake, to which he devoted his attention for twenty-seven years. In 1909 he retired from active business affairs and has since lived quietly in his attractive home in Storm Lake.
In 1872, in Ohio, Mr. James was united in marriage to Miss Mary L. Hanks, who also is a native of Ohio, and a daughter of William and Margaret(Thompson)Hanks. Her parents were natives of Ohio, whence they came to Iowa in 1875 and engaged in farming, though maintaining their residence in Storm Lake, and there they both died. They were the parents of eleven children, of which number two are living. Mr. and Mrs. James became the parents of a daughter, who died in infancy. Mr. James has always been an earnest supporter of the republican party and in his earlier years took an active and effective part in public affairs. He served four years as sheriff of Buena Vista county and ten years as constable, faithfully discharging the duties of those offices and earning the reputation of an able and fearless officer. He is a member of E. D. Baker Post, No. 8, Grand Army of the Republic, of which he has been commander for the past ten years. He has led an active and useful life and at all times has been as true and loyal to his country as when he followed the nation's starry banner into the southland as a defender of the Union.
