It's not all the time that you discover you need a replacement Thermostats for your car or truck. While it's not hard to find replacement parts for Pontiac vehicles, these days the necessity for nothing but the highest quality are required to repair your car or truck. You bought your J2000 Sunbird because its reliable service and an American name struck a chord inside you; so why would you be okay with second rate when it comes to superior quality auto parts? Obviously, you bought your J2000 Sunbird because you understood you would be getting performance and great value both impeccably combined into one vehicle.
Your car or truck has a liquid-cooled engine, and the device that controls the flow of coolant so that the engine can remain cool is your thermostat. On start-up, the thermostat remains closed; bypassing the flow of coolant through your radiator. This cycles the coolant through the engine block and gets it hot. Once it reaches an optimal operating temperature, your Pontiac J2000 Sunbird thermostat responds by directing coolant to the radiator. Now your coolant is part of a constant cycle in your Pontiac J2000 Sunbird engine that keeps it within a specific range of temperatures that are determined for the engine to achieve the best balance between power, fuel efficiency, and emissions... all thanks to the thermostat.
At Car Parts Discount, we have live customer service members available with enough expertise to help you buy the correct Pontiac J2000 Sunbird part for your needs. When your Pontiac needs a top quality replacement Thermostats, there's no need to waste time looking anywhere other than the authority, Car Parts Discount. Don't let a broken Thermostats bring about the demise of your car, truck, or SUV, and don't gamble with its condition by installing anything but the best replacement parts. Just choose your year from the list below to find the right Pontiac J2000 Sunbird Thermostats for your 1985, 1984 model.

We came to Mexico Beach to spend Christmas week with our son who is stationed at Tyndall AFB and could not have chosen a better place to stay!
We absolutely loved this condo! It is super clean and gorgeously decorated. The rooms are warm and comfortable and the kitchen is well stocked with plenty of dishes, pots and pans. The bed linens are to die for – soft and smooth – very luxurious! We also really liked the keyless entry!
This condo is literally steps away from the beach. It stormed the first two days of our stay, but we didn't mind. We watched the storms churn the Gulf from the chairs on the covered balcony and went on seashell finding expeditions in between rain showers!
The roof top hot tub was also a real treat! Clean and well maintained, it was a wonderful way for us to relax each evening.
We appreciated that this condo is very centrally located – within walking distance to quaint shops and restaurants in Mexico Beach. It is also close to Tyndall AFB and Port St. Joe (both 20 minute drives).
The only problem we had during our stay was with the internet. My husband had to work remotely so it was critical that he be able to get online. The internet seemed to go out for no apparent reason. My husband had to reset the router almost on a daily basis.
Despite the internet issue, we had a wonderful stay. We are look forward to renting this condo again the next time we visit our son.

The present invention relates in general to a data processing system, and more particularly, to a graphical user interface for indicating utilization of resources within the data processing system, implementing a speech dictation application.
With new and exciting advances in technology, speech command and control systems are being deployed in telephone and desktop data processing systems. As such speech command and control systems are developed, the introduction of a speech-to-text, or dictation, system has become feasible. For example, refer to the IBM Voice Type Dictation products and the IBM Simply Speaking products. This dictation system, available from IBM (International Business Machines, Inc.) is primarily used for applications which require short text entry, such as a memo of a few pages, a note for e-mail, or a medical report. As dictation systems become more robust and as dictation capability is added to full-fledged word processing systems, an amount of text entered will grow. Therefore, associated with such increased dictation capability, is the increased utilization of memory required to implement the dictation system within the data processing system.
An important aspect of such dictation systems is a correction mechanism. Speech recognition inherently involves a relatively high error rate, attributable to both the technology and the vocabulary. As text correction is a time-intensive process which requires oversight by an external human user, it is helpful to implement a correction system using a data processing system which allows the user or an associate to be involved during the correction process. To implement such a system, a speech-aware text processor must maintain persistent results information values which are obtained at the time each word is recognized. These results information values include an audio recording of the user as they are speaking that word, as well as alternative words which may be associated with a "best guess" word recognized by a voice dictation system.
Thus, when a user proofreads the dictated text, the user may utilize the results information to efficiently correct the misrecognized words. For example, when the system is notified by the external user that an error occurred during the dictation process, the system may use the results information to play back the user's voice for that word. Additionally, when the system is notified that an error occurred during the dictation process, the results information may be used to present a list of alternatives for the erroneous word, where the list of alternatives was determined by recognition algorithms at the time of recognition. Such recognition algorithms are well-known in the data processing art and, therefore, will not be described in greater detail. It should be noted that when a word is corrected via a selection of a word from the list of alternatives, a crucial learning process of the speech recognition system is implemented. Through the use of this correction process, the system's understanding of the user's speech and usage patterns may be updated. It should be noted that in this context, "usage" refers to the sequences of words that the user employs. A statistical model of n-word sequences (n-grams) is kept to predict spoken words.
The results information required to provide this learning process and an easily usable system can be very costly in terms of system resources. For example, the results information comprise a tag or a handle into a recognition results data base that is maintained by a speech recognition system and is returned to a text system along with the best alternative. This tag is typically thirty-two bits long. Furthermore, the recognition results database that is accessed by the tag includes an audio recording of the user's voice for each word, as well as the alternative guesses for each word. The alternative guesses represent at least a multiple of five or six times the storage space needed for the "best guess" word. Additionally, the audio recording is typically captured at 11 Kbytes per second. The recording capture rate may also be as much as twice that rate, depending on the needed fidelity. Thus, it may be seen that a substantial amount of memory is required for the audio recording, as well as storage space for each of the identified alternative words. One embodiment of the system which stores the audio recording of a voice which is being provided to a speech-to-text, or dictation, system as disclosed in U.S. Pat. No. 5,031,113 by H�llerbauer. Additional information is disclosed in "Multimedia Presentation Techniques and Technologies," International Technical Support Center, IBM, Boca Raton, Fla., 1993, IBM Order No. GG243975, which is hereby incorporated by reference herein.
As the results information consumes such a substantial amount of memory within a data processing system, an amount of results information which may be stored is limited. Typically, where small amounts of text are dictated, the use of such substantial memory is not an issue. However, as voice dictation systems are advancing technologically, a need has arisen for voice dictation systems which will support more substantial documents, especially where said documents are composed in multiple sessions and the results information persists across sessions. In such situations, the capacity of resources within a data processing system may be exceeded if an amount of data stored within the results information value is not minimized.
Therefore, as dictation is used for longer documents, a mechanism is needed to prune the resources consumed by the dictated document and its persistent recognition data, also referred to as persistent results information. Furthermore, a mechanism is needed to involve an end user in the pruning process, since only the user knows when they have completed some text entry, and no longer require information for subsequent correction of the text. Automatic mechanisms, such as least recently used algorithms, are not appropriate for this task.
The previously mentioned needs are fulfilled with the present invention. Accordingly, there is provided, in a first form, a data processing system. The data processing system includes a central processing unit for detecting an availability of a resource during execution of the data processing application. The availability of the resource is selectively modified in response to execution of the data processing application. The data processing system also includes a display device for providing an indication of the availability of the resource. The indication of the availability is selectively modified in response to execution of the data processing application.
Additionally, there is provided, in a second form, a program storage device readable by a machine, tangibly embodying a program of instructions executable by the machine to perform method steps for executing a data processing application. The method steps include receiving a first plurality of user inputs at an input circuit and translating the first plurality of user inputs to a first plurality of translated data values. The method steps also include storing the first plurality of translated data values in a first portion of a memory having a predetermined storage space and modifying a presentation of an indicator in response to a remaining portion of the predetermined storage space of the memory.
Furthermore, there is provided, in a third form, a data processing system. The data processing system includes an input circuit for receiving a first plurality of data values and commit input control signal. A memory stores the first plurality of data values in a first portion of the memory. A central processing unit selectively enables the memory to make the first portion of the memory available for storing a second plurality of translated data values in response to a first logic state of the commit input control signal.
The foregoing has outlined rather broadly the features and technical advantages of the present invention in order that the detailed description of the invention that follows may be better understood. Additional features and advantages of the invention will be described hereinafter which form the subject of the claims of the invention.
For a more complete understanding of the present invention, and the advantages thereof, reference is now made to the following descriptions taken in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, in which:
FIG. 1 illustrates, in block diagram form, a data processing system in accordance with one embodiment of the present invention;
FIG. 2 illustrates, in full diagram form, a methodology for implementing one embodiment of the present invention;
FIG. 3 illustrates, in block diagram form, a display device in accordance with one embodiment of the present invention;
FIG. 4 illustrates, in block diagram form, a display device in accordance with one embodiment of the present invention; and
FIG. 5 illustrates, in block diagram form, a display device in accordance with one embodiment to the present invention.
The present invention implements a graphical user interface which indicates when resources consumed by a dictated document and the corresponding persistent results information values are nearing their capacity, such that the user may then take steps necessary to reduce the information stored within the memory resources of a data processing system in an efficient and effective manner.
The graphical user interface of the present invention may take several forms. One example is an indicator which illustrates an amount of system resources consumed by a document currently being dictated. This indicator is accompanied by a button or other input mechanism that allows the user to signal the data processing system that the text entered thus far has been reviewed and corrected, and the resources used may be freed. Additionally, in an alternate embodiment of the present invention, the button or input mechanism, itself, may gradually change colors or shades, to indicate resource utilization. Furthermore, a threshold may be set in another embodiment of the present invention. After that threshold value is reached, a significant change in the graphical user interface will occur. This significant change may be a visible indication (e.g., blinking, color change) or an audible indication (e.g., periodic sound). When this input mechanism is accessed, system resources will then be released and an appearance of the button will be reset. Additionally, when system resources are not at capacity levels the present invention continues to allow the text to be changed, but without the assistance of the recognition information.
While the foregoing has provided a brief explanation of the present invention, a data processing system and method for operation thereof will subsequently be described in greater detail.
In the following description, numerous specific details are set forth such as specific word or byte lengths, etc. to provide a thorough understanding of the present invention. However, it will be obvious to those skilled in the art that the present invention may be practiced without such specific details. In other instances, well-known circuits have been shown in block diagram form in order not to obscure the present invention in unnecessary detail. For the most part, details concerning timing considerations and the like have been omitted inasmuch as such details are not necessary to obtain a complete understanding of the present invention and are within the skills of persons of ordinary skill in the relevant art.
Refer now to the drawings wherein depicted elements are not necessarily shown to scale and wherein like or similar elements are designated by the same reference numeral through the several views.
Referring first to FIG. 1, an example is shown of a data processing system 100 which may be used for the invention. The system has a central processing unit (CPU) 110. The CPU 110 is coupled to various other components by system bus 112. Speech recognition unit 152 is coupled to various other components of data processing system 100 by system bus 112. Additionally, it should be noted that speech recognition unit 152 may be implemented as software which resides in RAM 114, ROM 116, disk storage device 120, or storage device 140. Read only memory ("ROM") 116 is coupled to the system bus 112 and includes a basic input/output system ("BIOS") that controls certain basic functions of the data processing system 100. Random access memory ("RAM") 114, I/O adapter 118, and communications adapter 134 are also coupled to the system bus 112. I/O adapter 118 may be a small computer system interface ("SCSI") adapter that communicates with a disk storage device 120. Communications adapter 134 interconnects bus 112 with an outside network enabling the data processing system to communication with other such systems. Input/Output devices are also connected to system bus 112 via user interface adapter 122 and display adapter 136. Keyboard 124, track ball 132, mouse 126 and speaker 128, and microphone 150 are all interconnected to bus 112 via user interface adapter 122. Display monitor 138 is connected to system bus 112 by display adapter 136. In this manner, a user is capable of inputting to the system through keyboard 124, trackball 132, mouse 126, and microphone 150 and receiving output from the system via speakers 128 and display device 138. Additionally, an operating system is used to coordinate the functions of the various components shown in FIG. 1. It should be noted that the operating system may be OS/2 ("OS/2" is a trademark of the IBM Corporation). During operation of the present invention, the operating system and a voice navigator may be stored in RAM 114, ROM 116, disk storage device 120 or storage device 140. Furthermore, it should be noted that the voice navigator is an application which controls speech communications between an external user and data processing system 100.
Preferred implementations of the invention include implementations as a computer system programmed to execute the method or methods described herein, and as a computer program product. According to the computer system implementation, sets of instructions for executing the method or methods are resident in the random access memory 114 of one or more computer systems configured generally as described above. Until required by the computer system, the set of instructions may be stored as a computer program product in another computer memory such as disk drive 120 (which may include a removable memory such as an optical disk or floppy disk for eventual use in the disk drive 120). Further, the computer program product can also be stored at another computer and transmitted when desired to the user's work station by a network or by an external network such as the Internet. One skilled in the art would appreciate that the physical storage of the sets of instructions physically changes the medium upon which it is stored so that the medium carries computer readable information. The change may be electrical, magnetic, chemical or some other physical change. While it is convenient to describe the invention in terms of instructions, symbols, characters, or the like, the reader should remember that all of these and similar terms should be associated with the appropriate physical elements.
Note that the invention describes terms such as comparing, validating, selecting or other terms that could be associated with a human operator. However, for at least a number of the operations described herein which form part of the present invention, no action by a human operator is desirable. The operations described are, in large part, machine operations processing electrical signals to generate other electrical signals.
During a following description of operation, speech recognition unit 152 will be referred to often. A more detailed description of speech recognition unit 152 will not be provided herein as such units are well-known in the relevant data processing art. For information regarding speech recognition unit 152, refer to U.S. Pat. No. 5,465,317, entitled "Speech Recognition System With Improved Rejection of Words and Sounds Not in the System Vocabulary," by Edward A. Epstein, et al., and issued on Nov. 7, 1995, which is hereby incorporated by reference herein. For additional information, refer to U.S. Pat. No. 5,513,298 entitled "Instantaneous Context Switching for Speech Recognition Systems" by Vince M. Stanford, et al., and issued on Apr. 30, 1996.
The use of data processing system 100 to execute the operations of the present invention will subsequently be described with reference to FIG. 2. Assume that, in the first stage of operation, data processing system 100 is operating using an operating system such as OS/2 available from IBM Corporation or Windows-95 available from Microsoft. It should also be noted that additional operating systems could also be used to implement the present invention.
During operation of data processing system 100 of the present invention, a graphical user interface is provided to indicate when system resources, such as RAM 114, are nearing their capacity levels. Prior to describing generation of a graphical user interface, the steps of gathering, storing, and retrieving the results information stored within RAM 114, or another memory (illustrated or not illustrated herein) of data processing system 100 will be described. So that an external user speaks a word to be translated to a text document. This speech will typically be provided to microphone 150. As a user speaks each word, speech recognition unit 152 accumulates the results information, which includes a recorded voice of the speaker and alternative recognition candidates corresponding to each word. It should be noted that the results information may also include more or less data, as determined by a system in which data processing system 100 is operating. The results information is accessible by speech recognition unit 152 through the use of a "tag," or an identifier. Therefore, each time speech recognition unit 152 receives a spoken word, identifies the word, and passes that word to an application (e.g., a word processor), an identifier is also returned to the application. The identifier can later be used to reference the associate result information as the application saves this handle with the recognized work. This process continues for every recognized word. Such operation is well-known in the data processing art and, therefore, will not be described in greater detail herein.
If the user asks to correct a misrecognized word which has been displayed within the application, the user merely points to the word using mouse 126 or another user interface. Use of such user interfaces to point to and identify objects displayed on display device 138 is well-known to those with skill in the data processing art and, therefore, will not be described in greater detail herein. Subsequently, when the user points to the word and evokes the correction feature, the application accesses the identifier associated with the recognized word to request the results information from speech recognition unit 152. When the results information is accessed from speech recognition unit 152, the audio information is sent to an audio subsystem of the operating system (not illustrated herein) to be output via user interface adapter 122 and speaker 128. Additionally, the alternative recognition candidates are displayed in a list on display device 138. A method for displaying objects on a display device is well-known to those with skill in the data processing art and, therefore, will not be described in greater detail herein.
When the external user saves the data associated with an application (e.g., the document for a word processor), the results information values are retrieved from the speech recognition unit 152 and are stored with the document. If the document is subsequently re-opened, the previously stored results information are retrieved and made available again to speech recognition unit 152. The identifiers in the document which are associated with each dictated word identify the desired information in the restored results information buffer within speech recognition unit 152.
Furthermore, if the application receives a signal from the user, the application notifies speech recognition unit 152 to release the now-"committed" results information values. When speech recognition unit 152 releases the committed results information values, the application also releases the identifiers that reference the recently released results information values.
With this environment explained in greater detail, a methodology implemented by the present invention will subsequently be described in greater detail. Refer now to FIG. 2. FIG. 2 illustrates a speech commit flow 200 in accordance with one embodiment of the present invention. As step 202 of FIG. 2 illustrates, the methodology implemented by one embodiment of the present invention is performed on a per dictation-enabled application. For example, for each word processor document in progress, this speech commit flow is performed.
In a step 204 of the methodology implemented by one embodiment of the present invention, a visual indicator on a graphical user interface is initialized. This initialization could cause the visual indicator to become a certain color, to be displayed as an empty object (e.g., an empty thermometer), or could be initialized with a certain animation function. The foregoing list not meant to be exhaustive, but merely to provide some examples of manners in which the visual indicator of the graphical user interface may be initialized. It should be noted that displaying objects on display device 138 is well-known to those with skill in the art and, therefore, this process will not be described in greater detail herein. For more information, refer to Object-Oriented Interface Design, IBM Common User Access Guidelines, published by Que in December, 1992.
After the visual indicator is initialized, a step 206 is executed. In step 206, a maxbuffsize (maximum buffer size) value is preselected in accordance with an input by an external user. The user provides this input via a profile associated with the application, or some other form of a user interface. The maximum buffer size provided by the user is provided to speech recognition unit 152. In step 208, speech recognition unit 152 determines whether a user supplied the maxbuffsize value. If the user failed to provide a maxbuffsize value, the maxbuffsize value is set to a default system supplied value in a step 210.
Subsequently, a buffer size value (or variable), which indicates an amount of memory space available to store results information during a dictation operation, is set to the maxbuffsize value in a step 212.
In step 214, a determination is made by speech recognition unit 152 as to whether results information from a previous session exists when an application is initiated. If such results information from a previous session exists, then the results information (RI) is sent to speech recognition unit (SRS) 152 in a step 216. The maxbuffsize value is reduced by the retrieved results information values and their associated handles in a step 218. CPU 110 subsequently provides the appropriate control signals to update the visual indicator on the graphical user interface displayed on display device 138 to reflect this initial size in a step 220.
It should be noted that the control signals provided to update the visual indicator are provided in compliance with an algorithm implemented by speech recognition unit 152. This algorithm relates a maxbuffsize percentage to a visual value. For example, should the visual indicator be initialized to be a green value, the green value would gradually change to red in predetermined increments. Such increments could be provided as:
100-90% =
saturated green,
10-0% =
saturated red,
40-60% =
others =
shades of red and green.
Next, a step 222 is executed. In step 222, CPU 110 waits for input from speech recognition unit 152 or from another user input. This waiting operation is, in effect, a poling operation and step 222 will continue to loop to itself until a predetermined time period has passed or a desired input is received.
If the user should invoke a user interface which effectively presses a commit control on a graphical user interface displayed on display device 138, that user input is detected by user interface adapter 122. User interface adapter 122 provides the appropriate control signals to CPU 110 to subsequently execute each of steps 226-230. In step 226, CPU 110 enables memory space to be released that was used to store handles within the application. Subsequently, in step 228, CPU 110 enables speech recognition unit 152 to release the results information value. Speech recognition unit 152 releases these values by making memory space available and using a process similar to step 226. After speech recognition unit 152 has released the result information values currently therein and the application has released storage space for handles therein, the buffsize value is reset to the maxbuffsize value in step 229. Additionally, CPU 110 provides control signals to display adapter 136 to update the visual indicator of resource allocation on the graphical user interface display on display device 138 to reflect an initial amount of available resources in a step 230.
Subsequently, user interface adapter 122 waits for the user to speak words to be included within the application. A program flow should then return to step 222. As the user speaks each word and as the handle to the results are received by the application as has been previously described, step 232 is executed. In step 232, the identifier for the word and the results information stored within a memory of data processing system 100 are saved within the application displaying the spoken word in text format. For each word, the buffsize value is reduced by the storage space required for the newly generated results information. As previously mentioned, the results information includes an alternative word list, as well as an audio recording of the user's speech. The visual indicator of the graphical user interface of the present invention is updated to reflect the new buffsize value. Thus, CPU 110 provides the appropriate control signals to display adapter 136 to modify the view of that indicator displayed on display device 138 in a step 236. Stated another way, as the buffsize value gets smaller, less resources are available and the indicator reflects this to the user via the graphical user interface.
When the buffsize value reaches a preselected threshold (10% in one embodiment of the present invention) of the maxbuffsize value, CPU 110 provides control signals to enable display adapter 136 to provide a unique presentation of the visual indicator. For example, display adapter 136 may provide control to flash the visual indicator on display device 138. In the alternative, CPU 110 may provide control signals to user interface adapter 122 to enable an audio tone or voice to be output via speaker 128. Again, it should be emphasized that the threshold of 10% illustrated within FIG. 2 is provided for example only. That threshold value is adjustable in accordance with the desires of the external user.
Subsequently, in step 242, when the buffsize value reaches an emergency threshold (near 0), special visual indications or audio tones, or both, are provided in a step 244. The steps taken to provide these signals have previously been described and, therefore, will not be described in detail herein with respect to this step. Additionally, when the buffsize value reaches an emergency threshold value, CPU 110 stops the dictation mode of operation and disables user interface adapter 122 from receiving any new input until resources are released by the user. It should be noted that the emergency threshold value is not zero so that the user may subsequently perform a small amount of correction and insertion operation. A program flow subsequently returns to step 222.
FIGS. 3, 4, and 5 provide some examples of the visual indicator which may be implemented by the present invention. However, it should be known that alternate visual indicators may be implemented as desired by a user.
The foregoing discussion has described one embodiment of the present invention. It should be noted that many additional embodiments also exist.
While there have been described herein the principles of the invention, it is to be clearly understood to those skilled in the art that this description is made by way of example only and not as a limitation to the scope of the invention. Accordingly, it is intended, by the appended claims, to cover all modifications of the invention which fall within the true spirit and scope of the invention.

Show / Hide Autumn Splendor Transcript
The Autumn Splendor was developed by Tim Heng, a long time guide in the Roaring Fork Valley of Colorado. I've taken considerable liberties in terms of materials and colors, as compared to Tim's original pattern, but I think I've stayed fairly true to his autumnal theme.
I'm going to use a Dai-Riki #700 streamer hook in a size 8. Start by mashing the barb. Get hold of a 4.5 mm gold cone head, I believe the original recipe called for copper. Insert the hook point into the cone, small hole first and slide it around to the hook eye. Then, get the hook and cone assembly firmly secured in your tying vise.
To add weight and stabilize the head, .02 lead-free wire works well. Get the wire started on the hook shank and begin making touching wraps forward. Although 16 turns may sound like a lot, you'll see in a moment when the wraps are compressed, it really isn't. Helicopter to break the wire off close. Push the wraps up into the cone to pin it against the hook eye and clean up the end of the wrap with your thumbnail.
This isn't an especially delicate pattern so heavier 140 Denier thread is a good choice. I'm using yellow to blend in with the body color of the fly. Start your thread on the hook shank immediately behind the wire and take a few wraps rearward before snipping or breaking off the tag. Advance the thread up and over top of the wire and take thread wraps back and forth to bind it down really well.
For the tail, I'm going to use a single yellow marabou plume. The original recipe called for 2 in rusty brown. Strip the lower, shorter, off-colored fibers free from the stem and then lightly dampen the feather to make it more manageable. Measure to form a tail about a full hook in length and transfer that measurement rearward to above the hook barb. Get hold of the feather immediately behind the wire wraps and snip it off right there. Doing this helps to level the transition down from the wire. Pulling slightly upward on the tail, take thread wraps to anchor the marabou to the top of the hook shank, all the way back to the start of the bend. Then take a few open wraps forward up the shank.
Snip 2 or 3 strands of gold Krystal flash free from the hank. I think the original pattern called for copper. At their midpoint, fold the strands around your tying thread and take wraps to secure them to the shank, all the way back to the base of the tail. Snip the excess off so the strands and tail are roughly the same length.
In a somewhat wild departure from the original pattern, I've chosen yellow pearl chenille, which is similar to Estaz for the body of the fly, 5-6 inches should be enough. Strip off some of the material to expose a bit of the string core. Anchor the string to the hook at the base of the tail and then take thread wraps forward to 1/3 of the way up the hook shank.
Medium sized round rubber legs are used to add motion to the fly. I like to leave 2 strands stuck together. Snip 2 equal segments a little longer than a full hook in length. Pick up one of the segments and lay it diagonally across the top of the hook. Carefully take cross wraps to get the strands firmly secured perpendicular to the shank. They should also be level with the surface of your tying bench. Advance the thread forward another third, pick up the 2nd rubber leg segment and repeat the same tie-in procedure as before. Once you have both sets of rubber legs secured and correctly aligned, advance your tying thread forward to the back edge of the cone.
Get hold of the chenille and, right at the base of the tail, begin making slightly open wraps forward, up the hook shank. You'll need to do a bit of navigating in order to keep the chenille from pushing the rubber legs out of whack. At least 4 are easier to get around than 8. When you reach the cone, anchor the chenille with a few tight wraps of tying thread and then snip the small amount of excess off close.
Although the original recipe called for 2 webby saddle hackles, an orange grizzly and a yellow grizzly, I'm going to go with just a single orange grizzly. Trim the base of the hackle to leave a small triangular tie-in anchor. Lay the anchor against the near side of the hook at the back edge of the cone and take thread wraps to lock it down. Weave your thread through the chenille fibers and around the rubber legs all the way back to the base of the tail. While coaxing the hackle fibers rearward, begin taking wraps with the feather. Try to get 2 full wraps right up by the cone and then start angling back and make open spiral wraps down the hook shank, dodging the rubber legs and embedding the hackle in the chenille as you go. When you reach the base of the tail, take 2 or 3 good, firm wraps of tying thread to secure the hackle tip. You can then let go of it and, once again, advance your thread forward cross wrapping the hackle stem as you go. A little zig-zagging is all it usually takes to keep from pinning down materials along the way.
When you get to the back edge of the cone, secure your tying thread with a 4 or 5 turn whip finish and then snip or cut the thread off close. Carefully reach in with the tips of your scissors and trim away the excess hackle tip.
Although the fly looks pretty good right now, there are still a few more details to take care of. Pull up and snap a few times to separate the co-joined Siamese rubber legs. This should turn 4 strands into 8. If they look too long or uneven, now's the time to give them a little trim. Finally, apply your favorite head cement down over the back edge of the cone so it seeps into the thread wraps and whip finish, adding to the fly's durability.
You can look up the original recipe for this pattern online and tie it just as Mr. Heng did, or maybe go with the materials you have on hand and come up with your own custom version of the Autumn Splendor.

Internal Alchemy
Internal Alchemy can be a catch-all phrase which refers to any changes which take place on the inside of our Body, Mind, Heart and Spirit. However, for my purposes, I will limit it to mean Positive Changes which affect our Deep Tissues, our Organs, our Intellectual Mind and our Spiritual Heart. So kindly remember, I am not by, any means, referring to the Ancient Esoteric Sciences of trying to attain immortality or rendering ingested poisons harmless.
One of the most straight forward methods of Internal Alchemy is what the Chinese refer to as Muscle and Tendon Changing exercises. These are known as Yi Jin Jing in Chinese and Plyometrics in Western Exercise Science. Yi Jin Jing consists of actions which stretch tendons while they're under tension. Since our Muscles are much more Elastic and have a much better blood supply than their tendons do, they grow and become stronger much more easily than tendons. So exercising in such a way as to strengthen our tendons is not only very good for the tendons themselves, it will actually help prevent injuries by making our tendons more capable of handling the strength of our muscles.
Yin Jin Jing also changes our tendons in such a way that they become able to store more potential energy (known as coiling energy). This coiled tendon energy enables us to move much faster by uncoiling and recoiling our tendons. This is known as bouncing-off of our own tendons. It is very fast and powerful. It is also unsafe for tendons and Nerve patheways which have not been conditioned properly to handle such an extreme load.
Yoga and Daoist Yoga are systems which when performed properly and regularly will change the state of your Internal Organs, as well as your Tendons and Muscles. They will massage them, detoxify them and energize them. They massage will also stimulate them to release more of their hormones. This is particularly beneficial as we grow older, since most hormonal production slows down as we age.
Pranayama and Qigong are two Internal Disciplines which focus on using the Breath to Purify and Energize the Body, Mind and Spirit. Their many special ways of Breathing can Change almost Everything about us. Expert Guidance is needed to assure the Changes are Positive and no harm is done.
Meditation and other arts which are designed to purify our Hearts and our Minds will also produce Internal Changes. Some negative emotions (such as anger, hatred, etc.) produce too much Yang or Rajasic energy and some produce too much Yin or Tamasic energy (sloth, gluttony, etc.). Dissolving the causes of such negative emotions causes our Internal Energy to become more Balanced and flow more easily.
Perhaps at this point, some of you are saying that this is much too esoteric and strange for you. OK. So let's try this: Doing Good Things. Hanging Out with Good People. This is as Simple as it can get. Yet, It doesn't get much more Powerful than This. Even if you do not believe in it, it has been proven countless times, that just the Mindless Doing of Good Things will eventually cease to be Mindless. You Will become a Better Person. Likewise, just spending Time with Good People will Affect you in a Positive Way, whether you want it to or not.
There are many more examples of Internal Alchemy. They All work in some way. In order to ensure that you get the Changes you need, they should be undertaken only with proper guidance.
Throughout all the written, audio and visual information on this web site, I will be referring to anything we can do to Strengthen our Tendons, Ligaments, Bones, Organs and Will Power as Internal Alchemy. I will also include that to mean anything which Purifies our Body, Heart and Mind. For my purposes here, "Purifies" will mean attuning our Body, Mind and Heart so that they are closer to Harmony with "The Way Things Should Be." This purification refers to both internally in ourselves and with our relationship with the Universe, the Dao or God. I am not sure what The Way really is in All Cases (perhaps not even in Any Case). But, I am Sure that there is "A Way Things Should Be." And I believe it is our Duty to align ourselves with This Way.

Re: [civilwarwest] Braxton Bragg at Chattanooga
Expand Messages
- Good Post, although I dont know about Bragg knowing exactly where Rosecrans
was until he had left the city, Bragg did think quick and pull up a good
plan. Bragg was having some severe problems at this time with his Cavalry
though and wasnt getting good reports in as to the Federals movements, etc.
I agree that the Kentucky Campaign up to Perryville was great and he had some
other very good moments, but to be fair he did have several very bad moments
as well, most notable being the Battles at Chattanooga. I think Bragg's plan
for Chickamauga was one of the best, and it probably would have worked if his
subordinates had followed his orders, another Polkism. I will also say that
Wayne is correct in that Bragg's biggest problem was his personality, or lack
of it. He wasnt a fool, but not really that likeable and when your chief
enemy is as charimatic and political as Polk, you have the seeds for failure.
I often wonder how good some of the other Generals would have been with a
Chief Subordinate like Polk under their commands. Remember that Polk's
insubordination didnt start with Bragg.

The Crown Down Draft Desolventizer (DDD) is ideal for temperature-sensitive products where strict control of residence time is required. The gentle motion minimizes breakage of soft or irregularly shaped products.
The DDD is also ideal for larger particles that require extended residence times for drying.
Utilizing the concepts of shallow bed depths and multiple bed turnovers, the DDD is compact in design and offers an indirect heating system for desolventizing white flakes for high PDI or NSI meal.

Unanswered: Attach database between different sort orders
Just wanted to check. I've got a SQL 7.0 box on NT4 with about 40 databases (each about 500Mb-1Gb) which I want to move to SQL2000.
The main problem is, the 7.0 box was built with a sort order not officially supported by the finance software that uses the databases, so I want to build the SQL2000 box with the default sort orders and character sets.
I've done this in a test environment by copying the .mdf files accross and attaching them to the SQL2000 box, and this all seems to work. But is this advisable, and will there be any problems?
Thanks for the help!!

It does?
How are you doing the migration?
Dump and Restore....I didn't think it would work...Never did for me...
I know there are reasons, but WHY (for the love of god) do people install with other than the default collation..Brett

The physical order of data in a database has no meaning.

Yeah, it works, basically just by taking the current database offline, copying the .mdf and .ldf files to the new server, and attaching the database.
Backup / restore won't work, as it gives sort order errors...
As for why not have a defaul sort order, I don't know - just ask whoever built the original server!!
So given that I've got it to work, is this a good idea, or should I DTS the data accross (which would take a lot longer!)?

If there are different sort orders, you can setup the new server with old server's configuration and use BACKUP/RESTORE method.
If not DTS is only way to get the data out from source database.--Satya SKJ

Yeah, but I actually WANT to change the sort order to the default.
If DTS is the best way of doing this rather than the way I've desribed above, is there any way of setting the DTS package not to get logged, as this is a pain when migrating a large database....

HOUSTON (ICIS)--US May contract prices for polyvinyl chloride (PVC) were assessed on Friday at a rollover from April's during the week as a new chlor-alkali production report revealed a long-awaited increase of domestic chlorine production.
Prices for pipe grade PVC resins held at 71-75 cents/lb ($1,565-1,653/tonne). Contract prices for general purpose PVC resins held within a range of 73-77 cents/lb, according to the ICIS assessment.
The assessment comes as new production figures revealed a jump in chlorine production, long awaited and expected to reflect an increase demand for PVC for construction purposes with the onset of prime construction season.
Plant utilisation jumped from 81% to 86% in May, but actual production was higher than when utilisation rates were at 91% in March of 2013.
That increase is expected to result in a softening of prices in June and July, a growing market sentiment now says.
Chlorine production rates have been low during the first four months of the year, reflecting a harsh winter that subdued trade activity and some industrial processes with freezing temperatures.Major US PVC producers include Axiall, Formosa Plastics, Oxy Vinyls, Shintech and Westlake Chemical.

There are a number of other Microsoft Office employee blogs you can check out if you're interested in learning more about Office 12.
Here are a few of them to get you started:
- Steven Sinofsky's Microsoft TechTalk. Steven is the Senior Vice President of Office and his blog is primarily focused on issues relating to helping college grads make an informed decision about what it's like to work at Microsoft and the kind of impact new hires and interns have around Office. Yet, Steven also finds time to write about some of the current decisions we've made in Office 12, always flavored with historical information about what Office has learned from past successes and mistakes. His September 12 entry talks in-depth about some of the history behind the Office Assistant ("Clippy") as well as the Office 12 new UI.
- Brian Jones: Office XML Formats: I guess Brian's blog is kind of the ying to this blog's yang. One of the other big advances in Office 12 is the new XML-based file format, and Brian's blog is a great starting point to learn both the "why" and the "what" of the change.
- Chris Pratley: A OneNote WebLog: Chris is an accomplished and experienced product designer who runs the program management team that oversees Word and OneNote. Chris has been posting since midway through the OneNote 2003 product cycle and has just started posting information about the next version, OneNote 12.

Just adding my welcome to HealingWell, you already know how valuable this place is. A support group here 24/7. That is PRICELESS.
Anyway, sorry you have to be here but welcome!
just wanted to send you a welcome too! Sorry about the tiredness factor. Yep it's from BOTH the meds and the crohn's. Just make sure to try to rest because you'll feel better sooner. I was diagnosed in August and fought and fought for my old life until mid Oct. I FINALLY feel a bit better but it's cause I sleep 10 hours a day and plan my outings. You will notice that you may lose a lot of friends because they refuse to understand your new life. And then you will notice that your relationship with others will grow stronger.
yeah I can empathize know about people doubly not understanding about you don't being able to make it to soirees--I love it. I cancelled on someone last minute a couple of weeks ago because of the tum tum not cooperating and then they emailed me and asked me if I could just bring my own food or not eat for this coming friday. I replied saying that I can control WHAT I eat but I can't control my symptoms or how I will feel so if I don't feel well again the day before, I'll have to cancel again. DUH.
take care

Who's Afraid of Shark Liver Oil?
Worries and Fears
This mean old nurse will be the first to admit that when things change and something new comes along its time to push that big red button in our brains. You know the button that says "In case of pain PUSH!"
However, level six, pandemic, this is scary. Time to really wash your hands and cover your cough with your bicep and sleeve. I know, that alone is biggee change. Mean ole nurse used to say wash your hands and cover your cough with your hands. Then we discovered that the majority of people cover their mouths with a partially closed fist. Usually thumb closest to their mouth and just a tiny opening through the fist. So then where do all those lovely cough-y germies go? Righty oh! Through the partially closed fist and as we are on the subject of physics....
You didn't realize this was a physics article? Hmmmm....
At any rate, that thing-y thing about the momentum of an object being stronger and going further if its forced through a smaller opening...
Yea, that one. So here come the cough germs through the double-barreled shotgun you just made with your own hand! Don't you feel BAD!!!!!
So, you guys all have known this forever!! There's even a kids show with a song about how to cover your cough! Where am I going with this? I am just trying to gently lead you all down the shadowy, split infinitive and creepy path home through…
Also known as squalene.
Read on, thou brave and non-squeamish squalene infested humanoids of undiscernibly oily fingerprints :)
Just the Facts
Shark liver oil is the only thing I, as a nurse, recommend to my patients whose physician has told them to buy over the counter hemorrhoid ointment. I always make sure they know to read the ingredients and make sure the last ingredient is 0.3% shark liver oil. It is the one thing that helps with the swelling and the itching and the one that, when used, only needs to be used for a few days then everything are fine again. Use other hemorrhoid products and get ready to love them because you will be using them for a long time before the problem goes away!
Shark liver oil is also in cosmetics, one hundred and ninety four different products or thereabouts. Shark liver oil is also a naturally occurring organic compound found in our own bodies! In addition, of course, because everyone is different, if everyone had titers drawn for shark liver oil then everyone's titer level would be different!
I beg your pardon? What is a titer?
Oh, I am so glad you asked! Titer measures the concentration of whatever it is you are testing. For example, being a really old person who actually had every childhood illness in the modern world my rubella titer is 362.94! Laboratory normal levels are 0.0 to 9.9! My poor Momma, think of what she went through when I had the German measles!
What's that again? OH! You could care less what my titer is for German measles; you want to know about Shark Liver Oil? Well Geez OK don't get your panties…Ooops sorry, got carried away J
The hoopla this month is about the new H1N1 vaccine. Whether it should be mandated, whether it would kill us, whether the government is using all of us, the military and civilian population included, as guinea pigs to see if this vaccine for H1N1 will wipe all of us off the face of the earth. The biggest roar is that the new vaccine will contain shark liver oil. Shark liver oil by any other name is AKA squalene.
Squalene is not a newly discovered substance nor is it a governmentally devised plot to eradicate the population whose IQ is less than…Ooops, sorry, got carried away again.
Squalene, just like a shark, is developed in your liver! Hence the name! So, shark liver oil by any other name is still a rose. Ooops, sorry, mixed quotation there.
Squalene' function in the human body is in the synthesis of steroid hormones, vitamin D and cholesterol. Squalene is found in the oils found on the human body so your fingerprints contain squalene, your footprints contain squalene, and your cheeks that you ask your grand babies to kiss contain squalene, your toes that your tickle your Honeys legs with every night contain squalene and oh, no say it isn't true! This means that you AND you ALONE ARE THE REASON THAT WE ARE ALL GOING TO DIE!
Ok, maybe not. I am trying to let you know that this is not the biggee it is made out to be. Now, there are some pretty frightening sites out there that could really mess with your head. IF you LET them. The clue here is read a lot of different information! Use your head. Do Not Panic! Am I the only one that recalls the anthrax scare after 091101? We were all upset because the CDC had only a few vials of the vaccine squirreled away because it was one of those diseases that are so rare!
Remember that? We were all scared we would get anthrax dropped on us and we would DIE! If the government had said, "You guys come get your free vaccine against anthrax at your local civic center" the traffic jam would last for days! I do not mean to make enemies but this is a new vaccine; there are bound to be a few fears about what will happen when it gets into our bodies. First of all, H1N1 has not mutated (yet) so the best time to build up your own antibodies against this virus is to either suffer through the virus itself or get the first batch of vaccine that comes out. This is because the protein that makes up the vaccine is really pure; it does not need anything added to it. Sometimes vaccines have adjuncts to make them go farther. Sort of like adding water to your iced tea to make it go further. The tea is still wonderful, it just fills more glasses. So when something is added to a vaccine as an adjunct it doesn't change the strength of the vaccine itself, it just protects more people.
Europe and Canada have been using squalene as an adjunct in their vaccines since the late 1990s. Of course, all those Europeans and Canadians may just be robots made to look like the Europeans and Canadians that all DIED from the use of a vaccine containing squalene! You doubt it? So do I. What about that time you got a nasty cut and had to have stitches because you ran into a tree? Remember that vaccine the mean ole nurse gave you?
You know, the nurse asks, "When's the last time you had a tetanus shot?" and as you are answering, "Uhhhh…" the mean ole nurse says, "That's too long ago" and jabs you with that horrid needle she sharpened on her tongue!
That vaccine contained squalene. Are you dead yet? It's really the only vaccine that the CDC has ever used with squalene as an adjunct. It contains trace levels of squalene and it seems those trace levels may have snuck in through the development of the vaccine itself. The scientific test used to prove this is they took a fingerprint and tested it for squalene and "the results went off the charts" that is verbatim from the article. Fact of the matter is, if the human liver, the animal's liver and certain plants do not produce squalene guess what would happen to us?
The Gulf War Syndrome that some sites state were caused by the use of squalene as an adjunct is not true. Squalene was not used in the many, many vaccines given to our young men and women who put their lives on the line for our country. Aluminum Hydrochloride was, but not squalene. Personally, from the many sites I have researched, I think it will be added as an adjunct, evenually, the tests results show that titer levels are much higher and much less vaccine is needed to make it effective compared to vaccines where alum (aluminum hydrochloride) are used. The article I read to support this was about a vaccine for malaria and this is the link for that article:
The most informative, easy to read and understand article I found is from the Anthrax Vaccine Immunization Program. Remember I talked about the anthrax scare a few years ago? Well, this link answers everything you ever wanted as well as some you never thought of, concerning squalene. This is that link:
Bottom line to all of this is as follows:
1. Research has been done on people with malaria and HIV with vaccines containing squalene. They had no side effects.
2. Select groups of volunteer Gulf War Soldiers were also part of a research study involving vaccines containing squalene. They had no side effects.
3. A lovely skin product called "Lotus Moon Sage Sun Protective Crème" contains squalene. This is just one of the 194 products I told you about earlier. Funny thing about this product are the two main ingredients. Zinc Oxide (desitin, anyone have babies butts at home? It's still in my house, fixes everything!) And Titanium Oxide. UGH Titanium? Anyway both of the first two ingredients carry the side effects of bioaccumulation, allergies, immunotoxicity, organ system toxicity (non-reproductive whew! Also cellular changes although how one can tell which cellular change was due to aging and which due to the use of this sunblocker beats me. Now squalene is listed as the sixth ingredient. Side effects included "none identified" and there are eleven total ingredients so squalene is in the last half of the listed ingredients and causes no problems. Weird.
Yes, I realize cosmetics are not the same as a vaccine; I was just using it as an example.
After all, most of us use more cosmetics, lotions, creams and skin protection in one day than we would receive over an entire lifetime of receiving any type of vaccine.
All I'm saying is protect yourself and try not to bad mouth the CDC, the government, mean nurses or whoever is trying to keep us as well as possible. Read all the information, not just the Chicken Little naysayers OK?
I have had numerous vaccinations seasonal flu, tetanus etc. I developed an auto immune disease,about 10 years ago,i also have fibromylagia,extensive, permanent pain, all over.The use of squalene in vaccines, causes your immune system to react against all squalene ingested thereafter.Squalene is very good for you, when eaten in foods, but when administered directly into the blood stream the body recognises it as a foreign body,& will attack any squalene ingested. I am now allergic to nuts, seeds, fish, including fish oils,& other things i am not yet sure of.Since the things i am allergic to, contain large amounts of squalene,(coincidence? a very large one) I believe vaccines are very, very, dangerous. It takes time for you to get ill, & as the immune system is involved, it can cause many different diseases, so will never be linked to the vaccine. I have a large family, who are all healthy,unvaccinated individuals. My mother is 82,& in much better condition than me. This is not genetic. Be very wary of any vaccine!!! Valerie
What a writer! you are brilliant.Not only did I learn 100% more than I already knew;learning it was painless.
That was really interesting and informative. Never heard of it but I bet it has been used on me somehwere along the line :)

rail yard studios | new tech captures old tech/
We had just completed some adjustments to our 60-year old Kalamazoo horizontal band saw. The blade had been slipping off of the wheel, and we had to adjust the tracking to get it back in working order.
We were looking at it closely and trying to be sure everything was going as it should as the machine ran. So we decided to shoot some slo-mo video of it in action.
It looks like all hell is breaking loose at the point where the blade is cutting with little pieces of sawdust flying into the camera and bouncing around.
Pretty cool how new tech can make old tech make look so freaking amazing!

UX/UI Design, Visual Design, Art Direction
In 2009 the economy was tanking and nobody was hiring for the work I was dying to do. I set out to build a brand that would allow me do the design and creative work I was searching for.
What follows is the abridged story on how I built a brand and small factory for making top-notch handmade acetate sunglasses in the USA.
Online Store
Sunglasses are a challenging product to sell online. Many brands use home try on sample kits to make customers comfortable with their purchase but our made in USA product was too expensive for that option.
To solve this problem, a top priority of the website was offer as many details as possible for all product variants without overwhelming users with extraneous information. Detailed measurements, plenty of photos on models combine with a robust mobile site and straight forward UX/UI all contributed to a successful online store.
A quality product is great, but the value of a consumer brand lies in the brand itself. Creating a strong brand with limited resources required building something clean and concise.
Detailed guidelines and user personas helped to keep the brand consistent across all channels. Strong photography helped it standout from the noise.
Capital was built on the following statement: We make the highest quality glasses in the most responsible way possible.
That an easy thing to say, but a hard thing to do. Living up to it meant building a proprietary maufacturing process in-house. With little knowledge left in the USA on how to manufacture acetate eyeglasses, it took me years of work to develop this process into something that could scale.
Designing a quality product requires a deep understanding of how the product is made and how it is used. The current status quo is to let someone else worry about how it's made but at Capital, I took the road less traveled and learned everything I could about our in house process as well as the processes used by our suppliers.
By 2015, Capital was carried in over 70 boutique stores worldwide including Allen Edmonds stores across America.
After 6 years of building the brand, production process and sales channels, I was ready for something new. I was approached by a Canadian company who was interested in acquiring the brand and Capital was sold to it's new owners near the end of 2015.
