Another 100 year old house renovation: City shade tree
City shade tree
Way back in March 2011 I received the phone call concerning the tree I applied for ... way back in September, 2009. I wasn't expecting this call at all as I had been informed that there was a two year waiting list and I may as well get my own tree. The unexpected voice mail informed me they are ready to plant a tree and I need to choose which one. They said my yard was ideal for a shade tree as there were no over hanging wires. He left a list of my tree options.
I compiled a list of my favourite tree things ...
Source: barbarabutler.com via Sara on Pinterest
1) Fast growing - I want to hang a tire swing and a knotted rope ladder from the tree before my kids get to big - optimistic aren't I.
2) Flowering - I love flowering spring trees
3) That was it. My short list.
None of the trees on their list were flowering so I called the City Arborist to discuss the options and made a quick, gut decision. The Katsura, in honor of Japan and its recent tragedy. I had never heard of this tree and I was happy try it out.
Sometime in May the city came out and put some white markings and flags on the grass. And then in June the electrical company came out and put some yellow markings and flags on the grass. Slow process it seemed. And finally, in late June, the landscapers came out and planted my tree! Just 22 months after I applied online. Less then the 2 year waiting list. Kudos city!
Last summer I went ahead and got my own tree; advise from the city person I spoke with. I picked a Japanese Maple, in hopes of turning it into a Weeping Japanese Maple. Near the end of last summer I realized and discovered this tree does not care for afternoon sun. The leaves get a little old and holey. Luckily it survived its first winter and even grew a bit.
Now I have my big city shade tree that will eventually provide the necessary shade for my Japanese Maple. And shade for my west facing home, in about 15 years. | [

Good friendly owners - and they breakfast and dinners are awesome
Friendly owners that will cook awesome breakfasts and dinners for you upon request. Room was decent, with air-con and good shower water pressure.
Need to understand that the owners don't speak much English, but I managed to get by with my half-baked Spanish. Also may not have the best travel options (including English speaking guides for local tours)

Lovely Casa, Lovely Host!
We spent 3 nights in this beautiful Casa during our time in Trinidad in January. The rooms are nice and big, with private bath and exceptionally clean!! Probably the nicest room we had during our stay in Cuba!
Breakfast is delicious and prepared by the host himself, Osmel. We also had the pleasure of having dinner one night at the Casa which was delicious! Very generous serving sizes as with all Casa meals in Cuba. Osmel speaks fluent German which wasn't much help for us, but he is learning more and more english as the days go on!
Make sure you get up to the rooftop for a sunset drink. The views are amazing! The Casa is located in a quite part of town just a short walk from the old town. Overall a wonderful place to stay and would definitely recommend it to others!

So clean, wonderful host and tasty food!
Osmel and Lissy are great hosts, welcomed us with mojitos, Osmel sang to us, and even invited us to see him sing at Ruinas del Segarte, which ended up being our favorite place to see live music in Trinidad (free, outdoors, and one of the few places tourists and locals mix). Didn't like the restaurant he sent us to the first night, La Escherra (touristy and overpriced). Go to La Botija or have Osmel cook all your meals instead. There are two rooms (ours, the front one, had a full size bed and a twin bed) and a shared living room/kitchen. Extremely clean, nice rooftop with sea and mountain view. Delicious breakfast ($5) and dinners ($10-12) with meat/fish and lots of veggies and very filling. Some issues with hot water, just tell him when you want to shower and he'll make sure the water is hot (good water pressure). Good AC too. Location is near the train station, only 10 min walk into Plaza Major which is nice because you can see a bit more of a real town and daily life near the casa, and along the walk, since the town center is quite touristy! Osmel was so wonderful, friendly, and helpful, but you should come with an idea of what you want to do in the area, as he isn't a travel agent! | [

Bittman Recipe Reviews: Chocolate Cookies (Variation)
Recipe: Chocolate Cookies (variation of Butter Cookies)
Page: p. 892
These are nice little cookies to know about. They're more cake-y than chewy or crisp. They aren't terribly sweet hot out of the oven, but in my experience, chocolate cookies taste a little sweeter as they cool. I'm not sure why. I added Andes Mint Candy chips to mine (about 1/2 cup); if I hadn't, I think I might have used a sweeter chocolate mixture. Mark recommends a mixture of unsweetened chocolate and sweetened chocolate; for my sweetened chocolate, I used bittersweet chocolate. Semisweet might a better choice if you're not going over the top and adding MORE chocolate like I did in the candy pieces. (This begs the question: CAN you have too much chocolate?)
The recipe made right at 3 dozen cookies; mine are 2-3 inches across. They don't spread too much in the oven, and I used a regular teaspoon like I might use for eating out of. (not a soup spoon/tablespoon)

5.0 out of 5 starsGreat Adaptation and Useful Tool
ByRodneySon March 10, 2016
My 5-year old son and I are just over half way through this adaptation of Bunyan's Pilgrim's Progress. The chapters are short, but the story is captivating to my son and that's saying a lot. He asks almost every night, "Are we going to read the Little Christian book?" The story opens up conversation about the true Christian faith and walk. I highly recommend this book as a way to open up gospel-centered conversations with your children.
5.0 out of 5 starsAmazing Christian Allegory
ByC. Sanfordon March 20, 2017
I'm reading this aloud to my 7 and 9 yr old grandkids...just as I read it to my own 3 children years ago. They are eating it up and understand what is happening. This is an amazing allegory about sin, it's consequences, and heaven.
5.0 out of 5 starsI love this practical story!!
Bytduvonon August 28, 2016
My mother read this version to me and my sister all our growing up years along with the Bible during our evening devotions. I am now in my 50s, and I still love to read it!! The simple child's version can be used as a daily devotional of its chapters and has practical Christian everyday living. I love the adult version too...but this one holds a special place in my heart!
5.0 out of 5 starsGreat story for kids and adults.
ByKimberleeon July 19, 2017
We were given the paperback version of this book by a friend who said her girls loved it. Our son was five at the time and asked for it every night. We read it as a bedtime story 2-3 times, bought it on kindle so we could read while traveling, and our son continues to enjoy reading it himself now.
It is full of action and adventure for our son, and we love the story of perseverance through adversity. I was never interested enough to finish Bunyan's original Pilgrim's Progress but thoroughly enjoyed this book with my son.
5.0 out of 5 stars... Pilgrims Progress when I was younger and was so happy to find this version for younger children
ByB Bon March 10, 2015
I read Pilgrims Progress when I was younger and was so happy to find this version for younger children. I bought this for my 6-year-old son to read, and I'm having him read it out loud to me. We're going slowly so I can be sure he's understanding, usually only 15-20 minutes at a time, but so far he's loving it. He really gets involved with the store too, making speculations, etc as he reads.
5.0 out of 5 starsCan't say enough about how I love this book and this version which is a children's illustrated edition.
ByGrandma from far far awayon October 5, 2014
This is one of my most favorite books. I have many copies of Pilgrim's progress. This particular book is the children's illustrated version. I particularly like THIS book. I keep buying this book and end up giving it away as a gift and have to purchase another one. This purchase is a replacement copy. Highly recommend this version and this book which has lovely illustrations. Plain talk, short and easy to read .

5.0 out of 5 starsVery nice printing
ByAndrew C. Stringeron July 27, 2013
I remember having enjoyed this book as a child, and so I ordered it to read to my own children. They are enjoying the nightly chapters, and frequently beg for another chapter. Helen Taylor originally created this paraphrase as a newspaper column. This is a very nice edition. The typeset is large with serifs and easy to read. Illustrations are interspersed throughout. Very high quality paperback.

Precious Life...: Summer has begun
When you're finished decluttering there, can you come here? I'll even feed you and give you wine! :-)
Enjoy sleeping in tomorrow! I've been purging and organizing too. We even cleaned out our garage last week and can park both of our cars inside. Have a wonderful Summer with your hubby and the kids. :)
Have fun sleeping in girl!!! Its gonna be a FAB summer I just know it! I will be TRYING (key word) to get organized as well, but I have been in major slacker mode lately!
yep...the 10 year mark is when you have to start fixing stuff. I actually found that it's a great time to make things the way you want. But yeah, kids destroy houses!
awwww. .I remember when we met. .childless and new home owners. :) Time flies.. :) We'd love a visit if you can build in some time!! | [

Cap Ou Pas Cap: She Listens Like Spring And She Talks Like June
Posted by Anait at 10:19 AM
I need to get more pro-active on this blogging and checking in on you girls. I miss out!
And for the record ...I never know what, who, or when I want what I imagine I might even want ...ever.
Also, Ive no concept of time ...and that can prove to be detrimental to a social life and career life.
keep your head up ...you've so much going for you at least. :)

This is one of the cards my ladies created in my Technique Class this month.
I can't tell you how much I love this flower from the Best Thoughts stamp set! ..... and I was itching to use it in class to show my ladies how beautiful it is and how quick and easy it is to watercolour.
The technique used is a simple one .... see the row of little flowers across the centre of the card? This is created using the Hearts Border punch.
You need a strip of card stock 1.5cm (⅝") wide. Firstly, punch a row of hearts as you normally would. Then turn the strip around and put the opposite edge into the punch. You want to be able to see the Hearts printed on the punch base plate through the row you have already punched. If you align the points in a vertical row for each Heart ..... and punch ..... you get these cute flowers :o)

Assessing ecological impacts of shrimp and sewage effluent: Biological indicators with standard water quality analyses - UQ eSpace

C1270400 Botany770406 Integrated (ecosystem) assessment and management
Despite evidence linking shrimp farming to several cases of environmental degradation, there remains a lack of ecologically meaningful information about the impacts of effluent on receiving waters. The aim of this study was to determine the biological impact of shrimp farm effluent, and to compare and distinguish its impacts from treated sewage effluent. Analyses included standard water quality/sediment parameters, as well as biological indicators including tissue nitrogen (N) content, stable isotope ratio of nitrogen (delta N-15) and amino acid composition of inhabitant seagrasses, mangroves and macroalgae. The study area consisted of two tidal creeks, one receiving effluent from a sewage treatment plant and the other from an intensive shrimp farm. The creeks discharged into the western side of Moreton Bay, a sub-tropical coastal embayment on the east coast of Australia. Characterization of water quality revealed significant differences between the creeks, and with unimpacted eastern Moreton Bay. The sewage creek had higher concentrations of dissolved nutrients (predominantly NO3-/NO2- and PO43-, compared to NH4+ in the shrimp creek). In contrast, the shrimp creek was more turbid and had higher phytoplankton productivity. Beyond 750 m from the creek mouths, water quality parameters were indistinguishable from eastern Moreton Bay values. Biological indicators detected significant impacts up to 4 km beyond the creek mouths (reference site). Elevated plant delta N-15 values ranged from 10.4-19.6 parts per thousand at the site of sewage discharge to 2.9-4.5 parts per thousand at the reference site. The free amino acid concentration and composition of seagrass and macroalgae was used to distinguish between the uptake of sewage and shrimp derived N. Proline (seagrass) and serine (macroalgae) were high in sewage impacted plants and glutamine (seagrass) and alanine (macroalgae) were high in plants impacted by shrimp effluent. The delta N-15 isotopic signatures and free amino acid composition of inhabitant flora indicated that sewage N extended further from the creek mouths than shrimp N. The combination of physical/chemical and biological indicators used in this study was effective in distinguishing the composition and subsequent impacts of aquaculture and sewage effluent on the receiving waters.

burgers zoo | oxalis
17/01/2010 · by oxalis · in Uncategorized. ·
Burgers Zoo is one of the biggest zoos in the Netherlands (a total of 45 hectare), and since I, as an animal-lover (well kinda of), felt obliged to go, so maarten and I went there even in a cold winter’s day.
One tip if you want to go to a zoo in the Netherlands: do not go there in winter.
1. The animals were hibernating.
2. Going to the zoo is an outdoor activity (although burgers zoo got some indoor built-up environment), so it would be nice to go there in a warm sunny day.
But still i had a really nice day going there with Maarten. Burgers zoo has 8 theme sites (Dierenpark/the original zoo, safari, bush, mangrove, desert, ocean, avontureland/playground, and rimba), and we managed to go to 6 of them. Bush and Mangrove were the nicest ones, as they put the same temperature as the real environment. And just like going to the glass house of hortus botanicus, I felt like home there. The humidity made me miss home even more!
welcome to indonesia 😀 😀
the artificial tropical rain forest
I also liked going to the Ocean, reminded me of going to Singapore’s Underwater World or Jakarta’s Seaworld. I chased the surgeonfish (they have been my favourites since I was 12) around and took photos of the sharks.
Unfortunately we were unable to go to the Safari to see giraffes.. Although they might have gone hibernating as well.
But I was a turtle! 😀
Anyway, after visiting the zoo (and took some photos of leafless trees), we dropped by at the city centre; I met my friend Oki and we had a pizza dinner at Donatello’s.
met oky, a schoolmate who at that time studied in arnhem
anyway, here are some of my favourite shots on the animals:
i don’t know what sort of bird this is but it looks stunning
and here are some leafless trees:

Wheeled pool vacuum head with vacuum enhancing seal
Jan 6, 1988 - Rainbow Lifegard Products, Inc.
A vacuum cleaner head, for use in cleaning submerged surfaces of swimming pools, has a body the lower surface of which is supported a selected distance above a support surface, such as a pool floor, by wheels carried by the body. Resilient seal means depend from the body along front and rear edges thereof into close cooperation with the support surface to define essentially sealed side walls of a chamber which has the support surface as its bottom and the body lower surface as its top. The chamber is open at its ends which are generally at the ends of the head body. A water suction port is provided through the body from the chamber between the chamber ends; the port is connectible to a water suction hose. When the cleaner head is in use, water flows into the chamber essentially only through the open ends of the chamber and then to the suction port. The cleaning effectiveness of such water flow on the pool surfaces is of increased uniformity so all portions of the pool surface traversed by the chamber, as the head is moved on the pool surface, are cleaned substantially equally well.

This invention pertains to vacuum cleaner heads for cleaning submerged surfaces of swimming pools, spas, and the like. More particularly, it pertains to such a vacuum head equipped with seals which enhance the cleaning effect by directing water flow in the space between the head and a surface supporting the head in an improved manner.
Wheeled vacuum cleaner heads for use in cleaning sediments and particulate matter from the submerged surfaces of swimming pools, spas and the like have been known for several decades and are now quite well known. Such devices first appeared as rigid articles having wheels for supporting an elongate platform-like cleaner body a selected distance above a pool surface to be cleaned. Those early cleaner heads, like those commonly used today, defined a hole through a central part of the body into a short upstanding tube which was configured to snugly receive and retain, usually about the outer surface of the tube, an end of a water suction hose. The other end of the hose was connected, directly or indirectly, to the suction port of a pump forming part of a circulation system for circulating water from the pool, through a filter, and a back to the pool. Such early cleaners, like those commonly used today, also included a mechanism for connecting to the cleaner body, adjacent the upstanding tube, a lower end of a pole usable by a person standing outside the pool adjacent its rim to maneuver the cleaner head as desired about on the submerged pool surface. Water flowing from the pool into the space between the cleaner head and the pool surface and into the hole in the body entrained in it sediment and particulate matter and carried it up through the suction hose for removal from the flowing water by the pool filter.
The early forms of wheeled pool vacuum cleaner heads were rigid. In about 1966, a flexible vacuum head according to U.S. Pat. No. 3,273,188 became commercially available and was followed by other forms of flexible heads. Flexible vacuum heads have gained wide, if not predominant, acceptance for several reasons, notably their ability to bend along their length to conform to curved portions of the submerged surfaces of swimming pools and spas. However, in one important respect, the flexible wheeled vacuum heads were like their rigid ancestors; they supported the cleaner head body in spaced relation to the surface being cleaned so that ingress of water into the space between the head and the pool surface occurred at all points around the perimeter of the space. In these rigid and flexible heads, some parts of the space perimeter were closer to the suction port of the head than were other parts of the space's perimeter, and so the velocity of water flow through those former parts of the perimeter and to the suction port was greater than the flow velocity of water through the other parts of the perimeter. The result was a velocity gradient in the water flow flowing in the space between the head and the pool surface. The cleaning action of such water flow was greatest where the flow velocity was greatest. This means that the cleaning efficiency of the head was greatest where the distance from the suction port to the perimeter of the head was shortest, and decreased rapidly as that distance increased to other parts of the head. In other words, the known rigid and flexible vacuum heads very definitely do not have uniform cleaning efficiency over their area.
The variation in cleaning efficiency of pool vacuum heads over their areas heretofore has been recognized and addressed in a nominal way. Shallow ribs have been formed in the undersides of various cleaner heads in various ways and arrangements in an effort to better direct the flow of water to the suction port of a head after it has entered at all places around its perimeter into the space between the head and the pool surface. The improvements provided by such ribs have been relatively small.
Therefore, the present state of wheeled vacuum heads for swimming pools is that they have greatest cleaning effect at their mid-length where the suction port to the suction hose opens to the underwise of the head body, and the cleaning effect decreases with distance along the heads on either side of the suction ports. The same conditions exist in the cleaning heads of suction-type automatic pool cleaners which move over pool floors at random in response to hydraulic forces applied to them.
A need exists for a wheeled vacuum cleaner head, useful to clean submerged surfaces of swimming pools and the like, in which the cleaning action of the head is substantially uniform along the length of the head and is not concentrated in the portion of the head closest to the suction port.
It is also known to manufacture and to market very long flexible wheeled swimming pool vacuum heads which have plural, usually two, suction ports through their bodies. These devices are marketed principally to professional pool cleaners and technicians whose economic objective is to clean as many pools per day as possible. Such long heads include a manifold tube connected between the several suction ports defined by the head and to which a single suction hose is connected in use for applying suction via the several suction ports to the space between the head and a surface being cleaned. In all other material respects, these long heads are like those described above. Examples of these long heads are found in the Rainbow Plastics Model 207 and Model 215 vacuum heads. Such long vacuum heads also present the need identified above.
This invention addresses the need identified above and provides a vacuum cleaner head for swimming pools and the like in which the cleaning effect of the head is substantially the same at all locations along the length of the head. A principal benefit is that pool cleaning operations can be performed more effectively by a cleaner head of this invention than can be achieved by a comparably sized cleaner head of conventional definition. This invention makes it possible to clean a pool faster and better than heretofore possible. The invention makes possible long vacuum heads having substantially uniform cleaning effect at all points along the heads; this benefit is of special value to professional pool technicians and cleaners. The invention is applicable to rigid and to flexible wheeled cleaning heads.
Generally speaking, this invention concerns a flexible vacuum head for use in cleaning the submerged surface of swimming pools and the like. The head includes an elongate unitary flexible body which has a substantially flat bottom surface when the body is disposed on a flat supporting surface. The body also has lengthwise front and rear edges spaced along a width of the body. The bottom surface of the body extends continuously without interruption between opposite ends of the body, which ends are spaced along the length of the body. The body is defined for flexing along a line in a lengthwise direction transverse to its width but not significantly along a line in a widthwise direction transverse to its length. A plurality of wheels are carried by the body forwardly of the front and rearwardly of the rear edges of the body for supporting the body bottom surface a selected distance above a support surface in substantially parallel realtion of the body bottom surface to the support surface. Suction port means are formed through the body substantially centrally of the length and width of the body. The suction port means includes means carried on an upper surface of the body for connecting a pool water suction line to the port means. Flexible liquid flow seal means are carried by the body and extend essentially the selected distance below the body bottom surface for close, substantially sealing coopertion with a support surface engaged by the wheels. The seal means are present along substantially the entire lengthwise extent of the body adjacent the front and rear edges of the body for defining, between the support surface and the body, an elongated chamber which is essentially closed along its sides and its top. The chamber has the suction port opening to it and is open at its ends. The chamber is of substantially constant transverse area and configuration along its length both at and between its open ends. In use of the vacuum head, the flow of water into the chamber is at least predominately through the open ends of the chamber and thence at substantially constant velocity along the chamber to the port means.

FIGS. 1 through 4 show a flexible vacuum head 10 which comprises an elongate, generally flat body 11 having preferably parallel front and rear edges 12 and 13 which extend along the length of the body between opposite ends 14 of the body. Only one of body ends 14 is shown in FIGS. 1-4, it being understood that the head is symmetrical about a line across its width at the midlength of the body; see FIG. 7 pertinent to cleaner head 100. The body has a substantially smooth bottom surface 15 (see FIG. 2) disposed between forward and rear edge ribs 16 and 17 which extend a selected distance downwardly below bottom surface 15 along the front and rear edges of the body. Ribs 16 and 17 extend from end to end of the body, as does bottom surface 15. The distance along the body between its opposite ends 14 defines the length of the body, and the distance across the body between its front and rear edges defines the width of the body.
The body of vacuum head 10 is defined, preferably by injection molding, of a flexible material which preferably is low density polyethylene. The basic geometry of body 11 is that of a flat rectangular platform having a substantially uniform thicknesses over its length between its opposite ends between front and rear ribs 16 and 17; other features of the body are defined on this platform. A plurality of supporting wheels 19 are mounted to the body at spaced locations along its length both forwardly of front edge 12 and rearwardly of rear edge 13. In the presently preferred embodiment of the invention represented by head 10, there are 12 wheels 19 carried by the body; the number of wheels provided in a flexible vacuum head will vary with the length of the head. The wheels preferably are grouped in pairs comprising a front wheel and a rear wheel; the wheels in each pair preferably are in a common plane disposed perpendicular to the basic plane of the body and the length of the body and parallel to the width of the body. Each wheel is carried between forward and rear extensions of the side walls 20 and 21 of a weight housing 22 within which a lead weight 24 is disposed. Each weight 24 is encased by its corresponding housing 22 and lies in the housing essentially on top of an upper surface 25 of the body and extends across the width of the body substantially between the front and rear edges of the body. There are six weights 24 in head 10; the number of weights provided will vary with the length of the head. The cleaner head preferably is molded of a material, such as low density polyethylene, which has a density less than 1.0. The weights are present in the head to impart to the head an overall density which is substantially greater than 1.0 so that the head has substantial negative buoyancy adequate to cause the head, when immersed in a swimming pool, to bear relatively forcefully against the pool floor.
Each of wheels 19 is carried on an axle 27 which extends between the relevant extensions of weight housing side walls 20 and 21. The axles are located forwardly of body front edge 12 and rearwardly of body rear edge 13. The axles preferably are disposed in an adjustable manner parallel to the body edges at selected positions in the weight housing wall extensions, such positions being selected in combination with the diameter of wheels 19 so that body bottom surface 15 is disposed a selected distance above a head support surface 28, such as the floor of a swimming pool or spa, when the head is placed upon such supporting surface. That is, in the presently preferred form of this invention, the mounting of each of wheels 19 to the head body is via axles 27 which have adjustable positions in the weight housing extensions. The positions of axles 27 in the weight housing entensions are vertically adjustable so that the axles can be moved to establish the desired relation of seals 40 to support surface 28 during use of head 10 for the reasons described below. The wheel axle positions preferably are adjusted to cause head bottom surface 15 to be maintained in its parallel relation to a support surface 28 either at a selected distance above the support surface or within a relatively narrow range of positions closer to the support surface than the selected distance.
As shown in FIG. 7, a suction opening 30 is formed through the body of a vacuum cleaner head according to this invention. Preferably the suction opening is located centrally of the length and width of the head. Opening 30 is defined at the lower end of a tubular passage 31 which extends through the head and for a selected distance upwardly above the head. The passage is defined by the inner diameter of a tubular projection 32 which is carried by the upper surface of the body above the suction opening. The projection has an outer surface 33 which is that of a shallowly tapering upright truncated cone. Projection 32 thus defines a connection fitting via which the cleaner head can be connected to the lower end of a water suction hose. The connection of the hose (not shown) to the vacuum head is accomplished by force-fitting the lower end of the hose downwardly onto the conical outer surface of projection 32. During use of cleaner head 10, the other end of the suction hose typically is force-fitted into the suction port of a swimming pool or spa skimmer. The suction port of the skimmer is connected by suitable piping to the suction port of a pool or skimmer circulating pump which is a component of a water circulation system for the pool or spa. In a typical pool or spa circulation system, the circulating pump discharges water to a filter, from which water flows back to the swimming pool or spa in a known manner.
The suction connection fitting defined by projection 32 is located on the upper side of cleaner head 10 between the two weight housings 22 which lie closest to the midlenght of the head. Transverse stiffening means are incorporated into body 11 between the remaining weight housings of the cleaner head. The transverse stiffening means preferably are ribs 29 which project upwardly from the upper surface 25 of body 11 centrally of the intervals between the weight housings laterally on either side of projection 32.
Cleaner head 10 is a manually operable pool or spa cleaning device. Accordingly, in use it is connected to the lower end 35 of an elongate operating pole 36 via a pole coupling 37. The operating pole is releasably connectable to coupling 37, whereas the coupling is captive to the cleaner head. The coupling includes a pair of parallel coupling arms 38 which extend toward the head from that portion of the coupling with which the pole is connectable. The arms have journaling engagement with an axle 39 which is suitably secured to the structure of head 10. Axle 39 is disposed parallel to the length of head 10 adjacent to suction connection 32 and adjacect the rear edge 13 of the head, preferably by being mounted in a secure manner to the upper portions of the weight housings on either side of the suction connection.
Weights 24, housings 22 and stiffening means 29 are all disposed across the width of the cleaner head body at space locations along the length of the body. These features of the head cooperate to render the head stiff across its width, yet flexible to bending along its length. Accordingly, head 10 is a flexible vacuum head which can bend to conform to the curvature of the submerged surfaces of a swimming pool, as where the pool floor and side walls intersect or where the floor may curve in a transition between a shallow and a deep portion of the pool.
The precise arrangements used in a flexible vacuum head according to this invention to provide transverse stiffness and longitudinal flexibility of an inherently flexible body are aspects of the flexible head which are important in function, but are subject to considerable variation as to how that function is achived. For example, it is within the scope of the invention that the fully enclosed weights 24 and ribs 29 can be replaced by a plurality of ribs disposed in an upstanding manner on the upper surface of the platform-like body in spaced planes perpendicular to the length and bottom surface of the body. Some of such ribs can be extended forwardly and rearwardly of the body to provide structures akin to walls 20 and 21 of weight housings 22 and by wheel axles 27 can be mounted to the head. Lead weight can be mechanically affixed, as by bolting, to the body transverely of the body between selected adjacent pairs of such ribs.
Similarly, the precise arrangements by which an operating pole 36 can be connected to a vacuum head is also a matter which is capable of substantial variation within the scope of this invention.
Moreover, as will be apparent from the following descriptions, the improvements provided by the present invention can be incorporated in a rigid cleaner head fabricated of metal or a rigid synthetic resin.
One major difference between vacuum head 10 and swimming pool vacuum heads existing before the advent of this vention is the presence in head 10 of sealing members 40 which depend from the underneath portion of the head adjacent to the forward and rear boundaries of head bottom surface 15 along the entire length of the head between its opposite ends 14. Another difference between head 15 and vacuum heads, whether rigid or flexible, exsisting before the advent of this invention is that head bottom surface 15 extends to the opposite ends 14 of the head and its not bounded at the ends of the head by a wall or the like in the manner in which surface 15 is bounded along its front and rear extents by edge ribs 16 and 17. It is thus seen from FIGS. 3 and 4, for example, that when vacuum cleaner head 10 is in use and is supported by wheels 19 on supporting surface 28, the lower extents of the seal members 40 cooperate closely with surface 28. Such cooperation provides side walls of an elongate chamber 41 which has a top defined by the bottom surface 15 of the vacuum head and a bottom surface defined by support surface 28. This chamber is open at its opposite ends which correspond to the opposite ends 14 of the head; the chamber is otherwise closed or substantially closed along its sides. It is to this chamber 41 that suction port 30 communicates. Thus, when the vacuum head is in use and a suction hose is connected to projection 32 of the head, water can enter into chamber 41 preferably only through the ends of the chamber to flow from the ends toward the central suction port 30 (see FIG. 7). Because the chamber 41 preferably is of substantially constant cross-sectional area along its entire length between its open ends and the port, the velocity of water flow along the chamber is substantially constant and substantially uniform across the width of the chamber. Because the area through which the water can enter into and flow the chamber is a limited area, the flow velocity of water along the length of the chamber is a relatively high velocity.
It is seen, therefore, that, as the vacuum head is moved back and forth by a user in directions transverse to the length of the head, the portions of surface 28 over which the head moves are subjected to substantial scouring action by the water flowing through the chamber. This water flow very effectively cleans that surface of finely divided sediments and small particulate contaminants which are swept along the chamber into the suction port. Any sediments and particulate matter entering into the suction port of the vacuum head are carried by the suction hose into the swimming pool or spa circulation system to be removed from that water flow by the filter present in that circulation system before that water is then returned to the pool or spa. If movement of the vacuum head across the pool floor causes sediments and particulate matter to build up along the edges of the seal members outside chamber 41, that situation can be dealt with by merely briefly raising the vacuum head from the pool floor and positioning it in engagment with the pool floor over the ridge accumulated sediments so that the water flow along the length of the chamber then becomes effective to sweep those deposits into the suction port. It has been found, through use of developmental prototypes of vacuum heads according to this invention, that the presence of the water flow patterns represented by arrows 42 in FIG. 7 provides a substantial improvement in the ability of a vacuum cleaner head to rapidly, efficiently and effectively clean a swimming pool or spa, and particularly on pools and spas having low available suction levels. A pool vacuum cleaner head according to this invention cleans a pool much better than has heretofore been possible with previously existing wheeled vacuum cleaner heads.
Front and rear edge ribs 16 and 17 of cleaner head 10 provide mountings for seal members 40. As shown best in FIG. 4, each seal member preferably has a constant cross-sectional configuration along its length. That cross-sectional configuration is composed of a base or mounting portion 44 and a blade portion 45. The mounting portion of seal member 40 has a non-round cross-sectional configuration and is received in a mating recess 46 formed in the corresponding body edge rib. That is, the cross-sectional configuration of seal member mounting portion 44 and the contour of recess 46 are cooperatively defined so that the mounting end of the seal member can be placed into the recess in an appropriate manner, so that the mounting end of the seal member and the recess cooperate to secure the seal member from rotation relative to the vacuum head body, and so that, depending upon the amount of suction available to the head at suction port 30, the blade portion 45 of the seal member extends to its lower ends 47 in a direction which is substantially perpendicular to body bottom surface 15. The distance by which the blade portion of the seal member extends below the underside of the cleaner is coordinated with the diameter of wheels 19 and the positions of their axes of rotation in the cleaner head, so that the lower ends 47 of the seal members and the lowermost extents of the wheels 19 lie in a common plane when the cleaner head is placed upon a flat supporting surface, as when the available suction level is low, or so that the lower ends of the seal members lie a selected distance above the supporting surface, as when available suction levels are high. In this way, the lower end of each seal member either directly contacts a supporting surface on which the cleaner head is placed or is spaced a very slight distance above such surface. As a result, chamber 41 is sealed, or esentially sealed along its longitudinal boundaries so that no significant quantities of water adequate to adversely affect the cleaning efficiency of the head can enter the chamber along its sides, and so that all, or essentiallly all, of the water which enters into chamber 41 enters at its open ends as described above.
Seal member 40, as shown in FIG. 4, is the presently preferred form of seal member according to this invention. The presently preferred cross-sectional configuration of the mounting portion of that seal member is semi-circular at its extent opposite from blade 45, and has converging flat portions adjacent the blade which cooperate intimately with correspondingly disposed flat portions 48 of the surface of recess 46. Seal member 40 preferably is an extrusion of a flexible resilient material such as rubber or suitable synthetic resin. It is within the scope of this invention, however, that the seal member may be defined by a coextrusion process which causes the blade portion of the seal member to be softer, more flexible, and more resilient than the mounting portion of the seal member which can be defined by a stiffer material. It is desired, however, that the seal member be relatively flexible along its length, so that it can bend in the plane of the blade portion and thereby not impair the ability of cleaner head body 11 to bend its length to conform to curvatures of support surface 28 during use of the cleaner head, and so that the seal member itself conforms in the desired way to the curvatures of the support surface during use of the cleaner head.
The seal member can be engaged in recess 46 by sliding the mounting portion of the seal member into recess 46 from one end of the recess. A lubricant on the recess surface or the exterior of the seal member mounting portion may be used to facilitate this insertion process.
If seal member 40 is initially defined so that, as installed vacuum head 10, its lower end 47 lies in the same plane as the lowermost extents of wheels 19 when the wheels are supported on a flat plane, the lower end of the seal member will contact that plane. If the support surface for the vacuum head is a submerged surface of the swimming pool, the free end of the blade portion cannot wear, as by abrading against the pool surface, any faster than the wheels wear and reduce in diameter. It is seen, therefore, that, as the wheels wear over time during use of the vacuum head so as to reduce diameter and thereby reduce the height of chamber 41, the seal members will also wear at the same rate. If the axles of wheels 19 are made vertically adjustable in their supports on the vacuum head, the wheels may be lowered as they wear.
It has been found, through experiments conducted with prototype vacuum heads according to this invention, that it is desirable to provide head support wheels which are positionally adjustable in the head as described above. It is the substantial improvement provided by seals 40. e.g., which makes it desirable that the wheels be positionally adjustable so that the spacing of seals 40 from support surface 28 can be selected within a range extending from actual contact of the seals with the surface to a position where the seals are spaced a desired amount from the surface. It has been found that when the seals actually or very nearly contact the pool surface and the vacuum head is used in a pool which, for a number of possible reasons, has a high level of suction available at suction port 30 , the effect of the seals is so pronounced that the head, in effect, sticks to the pool surface and cannot be moved readily across the pool surface. In such a situation, the wheels are adjusted on the head to raise the seals a desired distance above the pool surface so that the head intentionally leaks water into chamber 41 along its sides, or along selected portions of its sides, sufficiently to prevent the sticking effect from being produced but insufficiently to meaningfully detract from the enhanced cleaning effects produced by the seals along the chamber sides. On the othe hand, if the head is used in a pool which provides low suction levels at suction port 30, the wheels can be adjusted so that the seals contact, or essentially contact, the pool surface along the sides of chamber 41, thereby eliminating leakage along the chamber sides and providing the maximum effects of the invention.
The level of suction available at suction port 30 can vary considerably from pool to pool. The amount of vacuum available at the suction port is dependent upon a number of factors. These factors include circulation pump type and size, the size and extent of the piping used in the circulation system outside the pool, the length of hose used to connect the head to the suction port in the pool, the nature and state of the filter in the pool circulation system, and the cleanliness of a skimmer basket which may be present in the connection between the head and the circulation pump. Accordingly, as a professional pool cleaner or pool service technician moves from pool to pool to clean the same, he may encounter some pools having good suction and others having relatively poor suction. If such a person does not have plural cleaner heads each adjusted for best balance between cleaning efficiency and a relevant available suction level, that person may fine it useful to adjust the wheel positions on head 10 for the situation provided by the pool to be cleaned at a given time.
Arrangements of cleaning chamber seal members different from seal members 40 are within the scope of this invention. For example, seal members 50 are useful with vacuum cleaner head 100 shown in FIG. 5. Cleaner head 100 can be identical to cleaner head 10 in terms of the structure of the head per se except in the specific ways illustrated in FIG. 5 which is a transverse cross-sectional elevation view taken through the head at one of the intervals between adjacent ones of weight enclosures 22. Instead of having single front and rear edge ribs as are found in head 10 for mounting of seal members 40, in head 100 there are inner and outer forward edge ribs 51 and 52, respectively, and inner and outer rear edge members 53 and 54, respectively; see also FIG. 8. Outer forward edge rib 51 is defined so that its outer surface is coincident with the front edge 12 of head 100. Inner forward edge rib 52 is spaced a selected distance inwardly of the outer forward edge rib and parallel to it and extends the same distance downwardly from body bottom surface 15. The inner and outer rear edge ribs 53 and 54 are disposed in a similar relation to each other adjacent to body rear edge 13.
Seal members 50, useful with head 100, are of L-shaped configuration. Each such seal member has a mounting flange 56 and a blade flange 57 disposed at substantially right angles to each other. The mounting flange of seal member 50 has a width defined in combination with the thickness of its blade flange so that the mounting flange and the adjacent marginal portion of the blade flange can be disposed against head surface 15 between the inner and outer ribs of the forward and rear edge rib sets of head 100 as shown in FIGS. 5 and 8. After the mounting flange of the seal member has been so disposed in the space between the inner and outer rib members of the edge rib set, a backer strip 58 is disposed against the lower side of the seal member mounting flange along the length of the flange. The backer has its lower surface essentially coplanar with the lower extents of the adjacent ribs 51-52 or 53-54. The end configuration of a resilient seal member retainer 60, shown in fagmentary perspective view in FIG. 6, is then engaged with the backer and the adjacent structure of the head body in the manner shown in FIG. 5. The retainer applies retaining force to the backer sufficient to clamp the adjacent seal member mounting flange 56 securely between the backer and the head body so that the seal member blade flange 57 extends downwardly from adjacent the inner rib 52 or 54 as appropriate. The seal member is defined of a relatively flexible and resilient material such as rubber or a soft plastic.
As shown best in FIG. 6, retainer 60 preferably is formed from corrosion resistant spring wire to define a central tension spring 61 from which the wire of the retainer 60 extends in opposite directions substantially collinearly into end configurations 62. Each end configuration has a top run 63 which, upon connection of retainer 60 to head 100 in the manner shown in FIG. 5, lies against body top surface 25. Each end configuration also has a vertical run 64 and a bottom return run 65 which terminates in a lateral bend 66. The lateral bend 66 and the return run 65 are in a common plane which is perpendicular to the edge run 64. The bottom return run 65 is parallel to top run 63 in each end configuration. One of the end configurations or retainer 60 defines a loop 67 between the top run 63 and the edge run 64 thereof. The loop provides a feature of the retainer which can be grasped by hand or by a suitable tool to extend the central tension spring 61 of the retainer after the opposite end configuration has been engaged over an edge of the cleaner head body in the manner shown in FIG. 5. Preferably lateral bends 66 of the two end configurations extend in opposite directions from the adjacent bottom returns 65.
A different retainer 70 which can be used with seal members 50 and backer strips 58 is shown in FIG. 8. Retainer 70 preferably is provided by a length of preferably corrosion resistant spring wire bent into a shape generally resembling the major portion of a question mark. It is proportioned so that when engaged with a seal member backer 58 and swung into position over the adjacent edge of the vacuum head body, the end of the accurately curved portion of the retainer engages the backer closer to the adjacent edge 12 or 13 of the body than does the retainer engage body upper surface 25 via a knuckle 72 between the accurately curved portion of the retainer and a straight terminal portion 73. Terminal portion is provided so that retainer 70 can be manually engaged for placement on or removal from the body as needed.
Workers skilled in the art and technology pertinent to the cleaning of swimming pools, spas and the like, and in the design and manufacture of equipment for such cleaning purposes, will appreciate that the principles of this invention are applicable to many forms of wheeled vacuum cleaner heads for use in swimming pools. This is true whether or not the cleaning head is flexible or rigid, and whether or not the head is to be manually moved across the floor of a swimming pool or is one intended for use in an automatic pool cleaner where the forces causing the cleaner head to move across the pool are hydraulicly generated. The seal members provided in a wheeled swimming pool vacuum cleaner head by this invention preferably are mounted in the cleaning head in spaced parallel relation to each other to define the sidewalls of a cleaning chamber which has open opposite ends for flow of water into the chamber toward a suction port at about the midlength of the chamber. The function of the sealing members in a wheeled vacuum is to prevent leakage of water into the cleaning chamber along its sides and to restrict the flow of water into the chamber only through its open ends. Sealing members can be disposed other than in spaced parallel relation to each other depending upon the geometry of the cleaning head of interest. The invention can be used in cleaner heads having one or more suction ports through their bodies; the benefits of the invention are sufficiently great that the invention may reduce the need for multi-ported cleaner heads.
Also, workers skilled in the art to which this invention pertains will appreciate that sealing members having geometries and cross-sectional configurations and mounting arrangements different from those described above may be provided and used without departing from the scope of this invention. Such persons will also recognize that the structure and geometry of the vacuum cleaner head in areas other than that of the sealing members and their mountings can be varied with considerable latitude without departing from the scope of this invention. In essence, the principles of this invention can be used with many existing vacuum cleaner head subject to minor modifications of a head to provide the desired open ended cleaning chamber and the mounting of the sealing members of appropriate configuration. Accordingly, the preceding description, pertinent to a presently preferred and other embodiments of this invention, has been presented by way of example and does not constitute an exhaustive catalog of all structural arrangements and procedures embodying this invention. In that light, therefore, the appended claims are to be construed and interpreted as broadly as is fairly proper consistent with the preceding descriptions and the place which this invention occupies in the development of vacuum cleaner heads for swimming pools and the like.
1. A flexible vacuum head for use in cleaning the submerged surfaces of swimming pools and the like which includes:
an elongate unitary flexible body having a substantially flat bottom surface when the body is disposed on a flat supporting surface and lengthwise front and rear edges spaced along a width of the body, the body bottom surface extending continuously without interruption between opposite ends of the body spaced along the length of the body, the body being defined for flexing along a line in a lengthwise direction transverse to its width but not significantly along a line in a widthwise direction transverse to its length;
a plurality of wheels carried by the body forwardly of the front and rearwardly of the rear body edges for supporting the body bottom surface a selected distance above a support surface in substantially parallel relation of the body bottom surface to the support surface;
suction port through the body substantially centrally of the length and width thereof including means carried on an upper surface of the body for connecting a pool water suction line to the port means; and
flexible liquid flow seal means carried by the body and extending essentially said selected distance below the body bottom surface for close, substantially sealing cooperation with a support surface engaged by the wheels, the seal means being present along substantially the entire lengthwise extent of the body adjacent the front and rear edges of the body for defining between the support surface and the body an elongate chamber which is essentially closed along its sides and top, to which the suction port means opens, and which is open at its ends, the chamber being of substantially constant transverse area and configuration along the length thereof at and between its open ends;
whereby in use of the vacuum head the flow of water into the chamber is at least predominantly through the open ends of the chamber and thence at substantially constant velocity along the chamber to the port means.
2. Apparatus according to claim 1 wherein the wheels are disposed to engage a support surface outside the chamber at spaced locations along the length of the body.
3. Apparatus according to claim 1 wherein each seal means comprises an elongate seal member having a mounting portion adapted to be engaged with the head body for mounting the seal member to the body and a blade portion disposed to extend from the body into said close relation with a support surface upon engagement of the mounting portion with the body, and wherein the seal member mounting portion is defined of a material different from and stiffer than that of the blade portion.
4. A vacuum head for use in cleaning the submerged surfaces of swimming pools and the like which includes:
an elongate body having a bottom surface and front and rear edges;
a plurality of wheels carried by the body for supporting the body bottom surface a selected distance above a support surface;
suction port means through the body including means for connecting a pool water suction line to the port means; and
front and rear liquid flow seal means carried by the body and cooperating in close relation between the body and support surface engaged by the wheels, the seal means extending lengthwise along the body adjacent the front and rear edges of the body for defining between the support surface and the body a chamber to which the suction port means opens and which is open at its ends, but not significantly so along sides thereof define by the seal means;
each seal means comprising an elongate seal member having a mounting portion adapted to be engaged with the head body for mounting the seal member to the body and a blade portion disposed to extend from the body into said close relation with a support surface upon engagement of the mounting portion with the body; and
seal mounting means comprising a pair of ribs disposed in spaced substantially parallel relation and extending along the length of the body adjacent a body edge, the ribs projecting from the body bottom surface, the seal member mounting portion being configured to extend between the ribs; and
means engagable over the adjacent body edge and between the top and bottom of the body for clamping the seal member mounting portion against the body bottom surface between the ribs.
5. Apparatus according to claim 4 wherein the seal member is of substantially L-shaped cross-sectional configuration, one leg of the "L" comprising the blade portion and the other leg comprising the mounting portion.

Picture looks in middle how can I get it to see it in my 32 screen?
Posted by rosieaidevas on Aug 31, 2010
Re: Picture looks in middle how can I get it to see it in...
You should check the horizontal and vertical, is there a spare part that is damaged, and burned. especially check the Yoke deflection coil for vertical and horizontal output.Deflection coil yoke serves to enlarge the screen image.
Check its back-light inverter and back-light CCFL lamps.

.Curtis Collects Vinyl Records: The Guess Who - with Burton Cummings
The Guess Who - with Burton Cummings
If you are going to have just one record by The Guess Who - this would be the album. Go ahead and stack these guys up against any of the other great Canadian bands - don't laugh, they could be the best of that group. Or from any country, for that matter. The Guess Who - a Canadian rock band from Winnipeg, Manitoba. Winnipeg also is back in the NHL after a few decades. How could Atlanta and Phoenix have NHL teams, and not Winnipeg? The Cortwright brothers can explain that to me. Oh well. This band gained a strong following, in their native country and later broke out with far-reaching success from the late 1960s through the mid-1970s with some major hits like No Time. American Woman, These Eyes, and Share the Land. Burton Cummings went on to solo success and of course Randy Bachman started some other band, the name escapes me But That's Only a joke. Highly underrated - I will look and see if TGW are in the RNR HOF. I bet they are not - but should be.
Posted by Curtis Linder at 9:37 AM
Indeed, The Guess Who was a great hit-machine with many great songs. I once (well more than once) snuck into my sister's room and found a written page of her reaction to seeing TGW at, I think, one of the Chicago-area horse racing tracks. Her effusion amazed me!
With Atlanta moving to Winnipeg, now we have to wonder about PHX who has move somewhere and now Dallas Stars and Columbus Blue Jackets have been getting <10,000/home game. The NHL needs to move several teams.....the NBA is watching this and that is why the owners, I think, are holding the line so far.... | [

Ideal: Not just about drugs
12:10pm on 04 Jun 2011
When Ideal first hit the screens, I used to tell my mates that it was a comedy about a drug dealer. After watching the first couple of series and each character became more familiar, I realised it is much more than that and exactly what you're saying above Graham. It's an honest (albeit with weird and wonderfully twisted humour) account of every day life in 21st century sub culture Britain. There is nothing I look forward to watching more. Pure genius. «Newer | [

Volpe | The Sommer Frieze
Games 65 & 66. Yanks regain share of first with a DH Split vs. Mets.
Game 1: Masahiro Tanaka got through one bad inning, pitching into the seventh, as the Yanks pounded the Mets, 12-5.
The Yanks went up 1-0 in the second on a double by Didi Gregorius and an RBI single by Kendrys Morales.
Tanaka gave up 4 runs in the third, inc. a 3-run HR to put the Mets up 4-1.
In the bottom of the third, the Yanks got one back when Brett Gardner singled, he and D.J. LeMahieu were safe all around on an error, and with two out, Gary Sanchez singled to make it 4-2.
The Yanks got five in the fourth on a 2-run HR by Gio Urshela (5) and a 3-run bomb by Luke Voit (16).
With two out in the fifth, the Yanks tacked on two more runs on a double by Morales, RBI single by Urshela, and RBI triple by Gardner. 9-4.
After the Mets scored a run in the top of the sixth to cut it to 9-5, the Yanks got a run in the seventh when Clint Frazier and Urshela each doubled.
Sanchez hit a 2-run HR (20) in the bottom of the eighth for the final score of 12-5.
Voit 3-run HR (16)
Sanchez 2 hits, 3 RBI, 2-run HR (20)
Gregorius 2 hits
Morales 3 hits, RBI
Urshela 3 hits, 4 RBI, 2-run HR (5)
Gardner 2 hits, RBI
Tanaka (W, 4-5, 3.58) 6 2/3 IP, 5 R, 4 ER, 7 H, 0 W, 7 K. Gave up 1 HR.
Kahnle 1/3 IP, 0 R, 0 H, 0 W, 1 K. 2.81
Hale 2 IP, 0 R, 2 H, 0 W, 1 K. 2.57.
Game 2: You worry about the Yanks’ pitching and their health and if they need or will get another pitcher. German on the IL for now, Tanaka’s elbow, CC’s knee, Severino and Montgomery haven’t pitched at all this year, Loaisiga on IL, and with Game 2’s starter, James Paxton, you wonder if his knee is affecting him. In his last two starts, Paxton’s ERA has gone from 2.81 to 4.04.
He was knocked out in the third. After just 11 pitches, the Mets, who won this game 10-4, were up 3-0 after a double, single, and 3-run HR.
The Mets tacked on three more in the third, knocking Paxton out of the box.
The Yanks got three in the bottom of the third to cut it to 6-3. LeMahieu singled, Voit walked. Sanchez singled to load the bases. Gleyber Torres singled in one run, and forceouts by Frazier and Urshela brought in two more.
But a 2-run HR off of Chance Adams in the fourth made it 8-3 Mets.
Adams, the “26th man” for the DH (and therefore going back down after the game), gave up another HR in the fifth, 9-3.
Stephen Tarpley gave up a run in the top of the ninth, 10-3 Mets.
Brett Gardner homered (10) in the bottom of the ninth for the final score of 10-4 Mets.
LeMahieu 2 hits, .316
Sanchez 2 hits
Torres 2 hits, RBI
Gardner 2 hits, solo HR (10)
Paxton (L, 3-3, 4.04) 2 2/3 IP, 6 R, 7 H, 2 W, 1 K. Gave up 1 HR.
Adams 4 1/3 IP, 3 R, 2 ER, 3 H, 3 W, 3 K. Gave up 2 HR. 3.97
Cessa 1 IP, 0 R, 0 H, 0 W, 0 K. 5.10
Tarpley 1 IP, 1 R, 1 H, 0 W, 2 K. 8.53
Dellin Betances has been shut down for a few weeks. Lat issue.
The Yanks could be getting Giancarlo Stanton and Aaron Judge back in about a week to two weeks.
First round draft pick Anthony Volpe (SS) has signed with the Yankees.
With the split, the Yanks (41-25) are tied for first with Tampa Bay. They are off Wednesday.

Minor League Report. Florial returns.
AAA: SWB (31-22) completed a game suspended on 4/20. That was strange because some players who where in that game are now down in AA or in the majors (Estrada, Hale). Anyway, they completed and lost that game 4-2. PH/1B Mike Ford 3 for 3, RBI.
They won the regularly scheduled game 9-2. Didi Gregorius had the day off. SS Tyler Wade 2 hits, 3 RBI. DH Ford (.369) 2 hits, 3 RBI, a 2-run HR. RF Ryan McBroom (.310) 3 hits.
AA Trenton off.
High A: CF Estevan Florial, who fractured his wrist in spring training, returned. He had 2 hits, 3 RBI (3=run HR) in Tampa’s (23-33) 8-4 loss. LF Tyler Hill 3 hits.
Low A: Charleston (31-26) won 4-3. CF Brandon Lockridge 2 hits, 1 RBI (solo GW HR in 8th). DH Canaan Smith 3-run HR in 3rd inning. (.318). Jhony Brito 3 1/3 scoreless relief innings for the win.
In the MLB Draft, the Yanks used pick #30 of the draft to select high school SS Anthony Volpe. With pick #38, they chose LHP T.J. Sikkema from the University of Missouri and with pick #67 2B Josh Smith of LSU.

Knowledge to Negotiate: Agency
An agent is someone that has the authority to act on behalf of another party. The party they act on behalf of is called the “principal”. There are three types of agency that may be created – actual authority, apparent authority and implied authority. For agents that have actual authority that has been granted to them, the degree of that agency can range from very broad to limited. For example:Universal agents hold broad authority to act on behalf of the principal. An example of a universal agency would be a power of attorney.
The other aspect of agency that is important in procurement is created becauseBuyer / Supplier relationship can be interpreted under the law as a form of agency. Since under the Law of Agency the Principal may be held liable for the acts of their Agent, they Buyer’s contracts need to protect the Buyer against that potential liability. So most contracts will include a general indemnification or hold harmless and indemnification provision that requires the Supplier to “defend, indemnify, and hold the Buyer harmless against any third party claims for personal injury or property damage caused by the Supplier to a third party. This is done to help shield the Buyer from both the costs of defending against those third party claims and also the cost of any damages that may be awarded. To ensure that there is substance behind that Supplier’s promise, most contracts also include requirements for the Supplier to carry certain to insurances that would be used to protect against the financial losses of such claims. If the Buyer is Purchasing the Supplier’s product with the intent to resell that product as part of the Buyer’s product, that also puts the Buyer into the liability chain where the Buyer could be sued for product liability injuries incurred from the Supplier’s product. The same indemnifications and insurance requirements are intended to protect against these potential claims. If the Supplier sold a product or service to the Buyer and that product or service infringed upon the intellectual property rights of third party, the Buyer could be sued for damages resulting from the infringement and the third party could seek an injunction preventing further use of the product by the Buyer. To protect against these types of claims, contracts will generally include an intellectual property indemnification, which requires them to once again “defend, indemnify and hold harmless”, the Buyer from such claims. The intellectual property indemnification terms will also include certain additional remedies that the Supplier must provide in the event of a claim, such as get a license to use the IP, redesign their product or service so that it non-infringing, etc. The laws of agency and the responsibilities that the Buyer assumes as part of reselling the Supplier’s product or service are why the Buyer needs to be concerned about the actions or inaction of the Suppliers and the Buyer can wind up being liable for those Supplier actions.

Authority | Digging Daily with Pastor Michael
Posted on June 16, 2017 by Pr. Michael Jannett
From Richard Rohr’s daily meditation for Friday, June 16, 2017. (His full meditation can be found here.)
True Gospel authority, the authority to heal and renew, is not finally found in a hierarchical office, a theological argument, a perfect law, or a rational explanation. The Crucified revealed to the world that the real power that changes people and the world is an inner authority that comes from those who have lost, let go, and are re-found on a new level. Twelve-Step programs have come to the same conclusion in our time.
Both Francis and Clare had this kind of inner authority that is still part of their essential message for the world. They let go of all fear of suffering, all need for power, prestige, and possessions, and the need for their small self to be important. They came to know something essential—who they really were in God and thus who they really were. Their house was then built on “bedrock,” as Jesus says (Matthew 7:24).

Who Sould Boast?
Posted on June 9, 2017 by Pr. Michael Jannett
S (Scripture): 2 Corinthians 10:15 [Paul writes:] We do not boast beyond limits, that is, in the labors of others; but our hope is that, as your faith increases, our sphere of action among you may be greatly enlarged, 16 so that we may proclaim the good news in lands beyond you, without boasting of work already done in someone else’s sphere of action. 17 “Let the one who boasts, boast in the Lord.” 18 For it is not those who commend themselves that are approved, but those whom the Lord commends.
O (Observation): Paul is looking (as always) to move the sphere of influence further and further outward for the sake of mission. He is not afraid to boast, up to a point, because he is not really boasting in himself…but boasting in the Lord.
Does Paul want to be known? Yes. But only insofar has this helps him to share the Gospel abroad.
A (Application): A follower of Christ wants to share the influence of the Gospel. If reputation helps this, then boast in that reputation! And when you do boast…boast not in yourself, but boast in the Lord! After all, the Lord chooses how and when to lift you up.
For what purpose? For the purpose of sharing the love and mercy of God in further spheres of influence.
P (Prayer): Lord, lift us up not for our glory, but for yours! Amen.

S (Scripture): John 13:20 [Jesus says to his disciples] “I tell you the solemn truth, whoever accepts the one I send accepts me, and whoever accepts me accepts the one who sent me.”
O (Observation): This poetic line from Jesus comes in the middle of a very disturbing moment in time. Jesus is gathered with his disciples and foretells that one in their midst will betray Jesus. But just before he brings up this accusation, he says the line I quoted above.
The disciples are those sent by Jesus. All who accept that “being sent,” therefore, accept Jesus. And as they accept Jesus (who is sending them out) they are also – at the same time – accepting God (who is sending Jesus out).
This is the hope of the disciples. They go out on more than just their own authority. They go out knowing they are backed by Jesus…and therefore, God.
A (Application): Who do we accept? What authority do we have knowing that God, and therefore Jesus, are the ones sending us out? I would hope that this connection to God gives us hope and courage.
As we continue to realize a new situation in the United States, in which Donald Trump will soon be president, we have to figure out our own callings and our connection to God.
As disciples in the world, we are to work within the government in which we live. We are to pray for our leaders and the people whom their decisions affect.
And while we work within a system of governance, we must also remain vigilant that justice and peace are that which we strive towards. If those issues are not given their due, then we have a rite and responsibility to hold accountable and challenge those in authority.
And, in all cases, we should let folks who are scared know that we stand with them in times of fear and doubt.
I have hope that we will move forward together and that God will raise up leaders and prophets, should there be such a need over these next 4 years.
P (Prayer): Prayer of the day for ELCA, 26th Sunday after Pentecost, 11/13/2016: “O God, the protector of all who trust in you, without you nothing is strong, nothing is holy. Embrace us with your mercy, that with you as our ruler and guide, we may live through what is temporary without losing what is eternal, through Jesus Christ, our Savior and Lord.” Amen.

S (Scripture): Matthew 20:25 But Jesus called the disciples and said, “You know that the rulers of the Gentiles lord it over them, and those in high positions use their authority over them. 26 It must not be this way among you! Instead whoever wants to be great among you must be your servant, 27 and whoever wants to be first among you must be your slave – 28 just as the Son of Man did not come to be served but to serve, and to give his life as a ransom for many.”
O (Observation): The mother of two of Jesus’ disciples (James and John) just asked for her two sons to sit directly at Jesus’ side in his kingdom. This would be a position of power. The other disciples are frustrated at the request, but Jesus puts this argument to rest with the words he shared above.
Jesus reminds the disciples that their role is not to control, but to serve.
A (Application): Serving has a very humble nature to it. To be humble is to NOT count yourself as more worthy than another.
And yet, one can sense authority in the midst of being a servant. The authority we are given comes from God. That allows us to take action to follow our callings. But following these callings can be done in a humble manner.
As a parent, I am to show my children boundaries, but I’m also not to lord myself over them. That doesn’t mean I let them do whatever they want, but I can serve them in a fashion that shows that I love them and prepare them to live in the world.
None of us is called to be “above” another, even as we follow our callings and use the authority given to each of us.
What sense of authority have you sensed? Who has lorded themselves over you? How did that affect you? How has that shaped your sense of authority?
P (Prayer): Lord, help us to discern the authority you give us and to balance that with the posture of a servant. Amen.

S (Scripture): Daniel 1:17 Now as for these four young men [Daniel, Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego] God endowed them with knowledge and skill in all sorts of literature and wisdom – and Daniel had insight into all kinds of visions and dreams…20 In every matter of wisdom and insight the king asked them about, he found them to be ten times better than any of the magicians and astrologers that were in his entire empire.
O (Observation): In the midst of their Babylonian exile, God was still busy caring for His people. God instills gifts in Daniel and his 3 compatriots. They are given authority by God to more fully represent God…even in the midst of their exile.
What will they do with that Authority? Guess we’ll just have to keep reading to find out.
A (Application): What is it that gets us ready to do God’s will? Strength? Training? Wisdom? How about this: God’s Authority! This authority is God’s seal of approval. Authority is about tapping into gifts and callings that God has placed in you…and that is what gives you wisdom and strength in the world.
With this authority from God…now we are ready to use these gifts and callings for Kingdom work: loving and serving our neighbor, representing Christ in the world, following God’s call to serve in the Church, etc.
Daniel and crew receive authority in the verses above. They were more wise than the others. God raised them up and would do wonders through them and their witness. They would represent God on earth, even if imperfectly.
What authority has God given to you? Interpretation of Scripture? Excellent pastoral care and sympathy for others? Gathering people together for a cause or social gathering? Teaching? Think about how God has authorized you for Kingdom work today.
P (Prayer): Lord, I am ready to serve. You have called me and given me authority. Now grant me humility to use this authority your glory, and not my own. Amen.

Jonathan Green, Author: Ask me anything*
What were your early influences? (apart from me of course).
Where do you see the gamebook genre going in terms of setting (fantasy, scifi, modern etc. and medium (paper, apps, pdf). What do you think makes gamebooks popular today?
Do you ever plan on writing another Black Templars/Armageddon book?
Any plans to write another FF gamebook? If so when will it be published.

First, I love your Pax Britannia novels. On my side of the "pond," these are the best hero fiction/pulp fiction novels, period. Second, question: Is "Jonathan Green" a pseudonym? What is your full (i.e., middle name(s) included) name? If you can answer this, is your Pax Britannia series co-author, Al Ewing, a pseudonym? What is his full name?

Three Antidotes to the Brexit Crisis - Bloomberg
Three Antidotes to the Brexit Crisis
The Fed needs to boost capital, lower interest rates and make borrowing easier for banks.
July 6, 2016, 11:09 AM EDT
Time to put up the defenses.
Britain’s vote to leave the European Union has put a lot of stress on global financial markets: Even as I write, investors’ flight to safety has pushed the yield on U.S. Treasury bonds down to levels that I would have deemed inconceivable just six months ago. In my view, the risk that financial turmoil will damage the economy is at its highest point since the twin European and U.S. debt crises of 2011.Financial stability is often said to be the U.S. Federal Reserve’s third mandate, along with price stability and maximum employment. If Fed wants to play this role effectively, it will have to act quickly. I see three measures that it can take.First, the Fed should ensure that banks have enough loss-absorbing equity capital to weather whatever crises may come. To that end, it should not allow them to return equity to shareholders in the form of dividends and stock buybacks. There’s little economic cost to deferring payments to shareholders by six, 12 or even 24 months -- and the added equity will put them in a much better position to keep lending in difficult times. The measure should apply to all banks, so markets won’t read it as a signal about individual institutions’ relative strength.
Second, there’s a risk that investors’ flight to safe assets could develop into a broader credit freeze. To mitigate this, the Fed should lower its short-term interest-rate target -- a move that, by lowering the returns on safe assets, would make lending to businesses and consumers relatively more attractive. Even lowering just the bottom end of the target range for the Fed funds rate would be a good step.Finally, the Fed should consider reviving the Term Auction Facility, which allows banks to borrow funds from the central bank with less of the stigma associated with other emergency lending programs, such as the Fed’s discount window. The facility proved effective during the 2008 financial crisis, but was terminated in 2010.
Granted, there is a risk that such steps will spook markets by signaling that the Fed is concerned about the state of the U.S. financial system. That said, as an outsider who gets much of his information from Twitter, I’d say the markets are already pretty spooked. By demonstrating that it’s paying attention to these obvious signals, the Fed can help to bolster confidence in its economic management.One important lesson of the last financial crisis is that the guarantors of stability must be proactive if they want to be effective. It’s time for the Fed to put that lesson into practice. | [

New Title Should Be Something Loving... Happy Dancing Flowers?: University Visit
This morning we visited the university in Marrakech. Dr. King had to meet with the leaders of the university to strengthen a bond they had previously developed and discuss a possible working relationship and grant. While the adults discussed the “important stuff” the rest of us spent time with a senior marketing student named Imane. Imane and I had an instant connection. It was a s though we shared a brain across the ocean. She and I discussed politics, relationships, cultural differences and life in general. A beautiful girl, she broke many of the stereotypes about Muslim women. She was dressed in trendy clothes (pants and a sleeveless shirt). She was not afraid to touch the guys. Her head was uncovered and she was wearing make-up (though not much). She had obvious intelligence and a strong educational background. She spoke with great knowledge of the American political system and carried herself with confidence. We invited her to have lunch with us at Pizza Hut. While there, she told me she believed the hardest social barrier to overcome was humor and that she felt she instantly understood my thoughts and my humor. It may be hard to believe, but I know that we will see each other again. In fact, I am sure of it.
On the way to Essaouira I had a severe asthma attack. I could not hear the other people on the team, I could only make out indistinct sounds as though I was underwater. In my head my lungs were screaming at such a rate and volume that to me it was deafening and nothing more than a huge reminder of my own physical weakness.
Imane called Dr. King’s cell phone just after we arrived in Essaouira. She and I talked for a few minutes. She said she missed me already and that we had chemistry. I understand what she meant. I would call us kindred spirits.
Essaouira was very hazy when we arrived. We are staying in Hotel Tafouk. Virtually everything in the hotel and town in general that is not a neutral color is blue. Dinner was an interesting experience. We ate at some sort of fish market just off the water’s edge. At the front of the stand there was a cart with many fresh fish, shrimp, and other sea food. You simply chose the items you wanted and they cooked them up for you. I was very glad that Dr. King had stopped in the market before dinner to purchase some vegetables for me. Otherwise it could have been a long hungry dinner for me.
Imane called again just to check on us. I miss her very much already. Strange considering we just met.

Crime writers from Ireland, Sweden and Finland on Crime Writers Panel at Cuirt 2013 | The View from The DJ booth
Tags: Antti Tuomainen, Arlene Hunt, Arne Dahl, Galway, Ghosts of Belfast, Henning Mankell, Irish Book Awards, Los Angeles Times Book Prize, New York Times, Stuart Neville
Event: 27 Apr 13 18:30- 20:30
Venue : Town Hall Theatre, Galway City
The Authers appearing at 2013 Harvill Secker Crime Panel at Cuirt in The Town Hall Theatre on Saturday 27th of April
On Saturday Evening of April 27th , Arlene Hunt will host a panel of crime writers including Stuart Neville (Ireland), Arne Dahl (Sweden) and Antti Tuomainen (Finland).
Arlene Hunt (Chairperson)
Arlene Hunt is the author of seven crime fiction novels, five of which feature the popular Quick Investigation duo, John Quigley and Sarah Kenny. She is also the co-owner of Portnoy Publishing.
She lived in Barcelona for five years and now resides in Dublin. Her books have been translated into three languages and her current novel – a stand alone set in the US – entitled The Chosen, was voted as TV3’s Book of the Month for November 2011. An earlier novel, Undertow (2008), was short listed for best crime novel at The Irish Book Awards. Arlene has also contributed to many anthologies, including, Down These Green Streets, Requiems for the Departed and Console.
He has been shortlisted for various awards, including the Barry, Macavity, Dilys awards, as well as the Irish Book Awards Crime Novel of the Year. He has twice been longlisted for the Theakstons Old Peculier Crime Novel of the Year. He has since published two critically acclaimed sequels, Collusion and Stolen Souls.
His fourth novel, Ratlines, about Nazis harboured by the Irish state following WWII was published by Harvill Secker in January 2013.
“Ratlines is a belter: fast, furious, bloody and good.”- Ian Rankin
“Just three books in and Stuart Neville is already a crime-writing star.” – Mark Billingham
Arne Dahl is an award-winning Swedish crime novelist and literary critic. The Blinded Man is the first book in the internationally acclaimed Intercrime series. The highly praised series of ten novels has sold more than 2.5 million copies and has won its creator such distinguished awards as the premier crime writing awards in Germany, Denmark and Sweden. In 2007 The Swedish Academy of Crime Writers awarded Arne Dahl a special prize for his “vitalization and development of the crime genre through his Intercrime series”. The second book in the series, Bad Blood, will by published by Harvill Secker in 2013.
‘Thoughtfully haunting and sometimes beautifully written, the first of Hjelm’s cases to be translated into English is likely to resonate with readers of the Stieg Larsson trilogy.”— Austin American-Statesman
“ Mystery devotees who loved Mankell’s Kurt Wallander, and crime-fiction ‘lifers’ who still treasure Sjowall’s and Wahloo’s Martin Beck, will want to add Paul Hjelm to their short lists of international favourites.”— Booklist
Antti Tuomainen was born in 1971 and lives in Helsinki. He was an award-winning copywriter in the advertising industry before he made his literary debut in 2007. In 2011 his third novel, The Healer, was awarded the Clue Award for ‘Best Finnish Crime Novel 2011’. The Finnish press labelled it “unputdownable” and critics praised his piercing and evocative style acknowledging him as one of the first writers to challenge the Scandinavian crime genre formula. The Healer was shortlisted for the Glass Key Award for Best Scandinavian Crime Novel in 2012 (previous winners include Henning Mankell, Stieg Larsson, Jo Nesbo, Arnaldur Indridason, Karin Fossum and HakanNesser).
“Breathtakingly tense, with the taste of blood on every page. It is impossible to stop reading until you reach the end.”.. – Turun Sanomat

pH-dependent modulation of Kv1.3 inactivation: Role of His399 — Hungarian Consortium
Sándor Samodi, Zoltán Varga, Péter Hajdu, John G. Starkus, Daniel I. Levy, Rezso Gáspár, György Panyi
The Kv1.3 K+ channel lacks N-type inactivation, but during prolonged depolarized periods it inactivates via the slow (P/C type) mechanism. It bears a titratable histidine residue in position 399 (equivalent of Shaker 449), a site known to influence the rate of slow inactivation. As opposed to several other voltage-gated K+ channels, slow inactivation of Kv1.3 is slowed when extracellular pH (pHO) is lowered under physiological conditions. Our findings are as follows. First, when His399 was mutated to a lysine, arginine, leucine, valine or tyrosine, extracellular acidification (pH 5.5) accelerated inactivation reminiscent of other Kv channels. Second, inactivation of the wild-type channel was accelerated by low pHO when the ionic strength of the external solution was raised. Inactivation of the H399K mutant was also accelerated by high ionic strength at pH 7.35 but not the inactivation of H399L. Third, after the external application of blocking barium ions, recovery of the wild-type current during washout was slower in low pH O. Fourth, the dissociation rate of Ba2+ was pH insensitive for both H399K and H399L. Furthermore, Ba2+ dissociation rates were equal for H399K and the wild type at pH 5.5 and were equal for H399L and the wild type at pH 7.35. These observations support a model in which the electric field of the protonated histidines creates a potential barrier for potassium ions just outside the external mouth of the pore that hinders their exit from the binding site controlling inactivation. In Kv1.3, this effect overrides the generally observed speeding of slow inactivation when pH O is reduced.

It bears a titratable histidine residue in position 399 (equivalent of Shaker 449), a site known to influence the rate of slow inactivation. As opposed to several other voltage-gated K+ channels, slow inactivation of Kv1.3 is slowed when extracellular pH (pHO) is lowered under physiological conditions. Our findings are as follows. First, when His399 was mutated to a lysine, arginine, leucine, valine or tyrosine, extracellular acidification (pH 5.5) accelerated inactivation reminiscent of other Kv channels. Second, inactivation of the wild-type channel was accelerated by low pHO when the ionic strength of the external solution was raised. Inactivation of the H399K mutant was also accelerated by high ionic strength at pH 7.35 but not the inactivation of H399L. Third, after the external application of blocking barium ions, recovery of the wild-type current during washout was slower in low pH O. Fourth, the dissociation rate of Ba2+ was pH insensitive for both H399K and H399L. Furthermore, Ba2+ dissociation rates were equal for H399K and the wild type at pH 5.5 and were equal for H399L and the wild type at pH 7.35.

Christin's Words From Sunshine Hill: 2013
Why couldn't I hold her? Several times the thought: visit Facebook, see what Krista is saying about her mom on this birthday. It didn't happen, not until darkness when, somehow, under that veil, I could feel something like the brush of a wing of possibility.
In just a few words the daughter held the mother perfectly.

My dear sister, Liz, and me in 1972
Today it is one year since Liz crossed into eternity, and my heart is full of her. From the day of her birth she shone upon my life and moved my heart like pure grace. Not that she wasn't a scallywag sometimes--because she possessed intense spirit. She could stop my mind in its tracks, make me catch my breath, hold my feet to the fire. Her voice will never leave my heart. We complemented each other, and in so many ways she became my wisdom. I'd call her from the edge and she'd take my hand and lead me back to the center.
Be Well, my Sister. Shine as you soar.

For the first time I’ve been tagged in a blogging project. Writers are lifting up their Next Big Thing for all the world to see. . . most often right in the midst of writing it! Thanks to my dear friend and stunning poet, Kathleen Jesme, for tagging me. Please do yourself a big favor and visit Kath’s blog http://kathleenjesme.blogspot.com/
I’ll be inviting a few other writers to participate and you will be able to find links to their blogs right here in the next couple of days.
Right now I’m calling it The Yearning. That could change before I’m through. Not only do I tend to change titles as the writing becomes more focused, but publishers also change titles for marketing purposes.
Everywhere? I’m being only slightly facetious. My consciousness of the world and my part in it has fascinated and terrified me. Never have I been able to get my mind around it—not even the most imaginative part of my mind. I never could settle on one life, on my life. Having a more interior than exterior sort of personality, I explored the inner regions. I dreamed, contemplated, prayed, and studied the mystical, poetic, musical, artistic traditions. I’ve tried to capture the energy of the inner regions in novels and books of spirituality. But friends urged me: “Write your story.
One author called a similar book his spiritual autobiography. As a genre, it probably comes closest. Memoir is too compact for what I have in mind. Mystic Journey is tempting, but probably is not a genre. Maybe I ought to turn it into another novel where I might be able to get closer to the truth.
I wouldn’t choose to have a movie rendition. But that isn’t really the question, is it? Unfortunately I pay little attention to actors so if I did need to choose I’d get people off the street of a small Midwestern town.
This question reminds me of a soap opera that was on the radio when I was a child back in the 1940s. “Can a girl from a little mining town in the West find happiness as the wife of a wealthy, entitled Englishman?” It stayed with me over sixty years, so I guess one-sentence synopses do stand the test of time. I suppose mine might be “Can a dreamy little girl from the Minnesota lakes and boggy wilds overcome her fear and find ground steady enough on which to build her one wild and unrepeatable life?”
Most likely I’ll send it to my agent first, just to test the waters. But to be bluntly truthful, turning a manuscript over to a publisher seems rarely a good idea anymore, especially if they have the electronic rights. That way the writer can never get the publishing rights back because the book is legally never out of publication. During the past few years I’ve been experimenting with e-publishing on Kindle, and print on demand with Amazon’s CreateSpace. Most writers have weighed the pros and cons. Sometimes it is the nature of the book itself that determines the form of publication. Sometimes it is the reader for whom the book searches.
There still exists, however, that glow, that rush, that pride of being published by a house that only takes the best authors, the finest works.
I’ve been writing bits and pieces of it for thirty years – but the real work started in June, 2012. The first draft is about one-third complete.
Karen Armstrong’s The Spiral Staircase
Annie Dillard’s Holy the Firm
Justin O’Brien’s Walking with a Himalayan Master
Irina Tweedie’s Daughter of Fire
Petru Dumitriu, To The Unknown God
John of the Cross, Fire of Divine Love
My husband, author John R. Sack was already in the process of researching his own book on the mystic way of the second half of life. We sat together reading the works of St. John of the Cross. It came to John to use the saint’s thoughts. It came to me to employ the saint’s structure…that of poetry giving way to the mystical experience of oneness in love.

Again I haven't written here for a while. John and I have been posting to the Casa Chiara site more often. Over the last two months I've been trying to bring more focus to each of these blogs and have realized that the blog from Sunshine Hill has more to do with the writing life, while Casa Chiara has more to do with our contemplation, reading, spiritual practices, and insights concerning the Sacred.They will overlap, I expect, but hopefully also move towards more refinement.
Since last summer I've been writing a memoir. It might be the most difficult project I've undertaken because of life's many sounds or calls here or there, to this or that, and finally into the non-dualistic All Present Now. I seem to myself to have lived at least five lives: Child, Nun, Spouse to Three Very Different Men. The writing, by its nature, separates out what really is only one sound connecting them all--that of a divine pulse pervading everything. The task is paradoxical. Life finally is recognized as a mystic journey. It is a dance to an eternal song. So the sound connecting everything must be the tonic note in the song of our lives.
The journey began on a chill night in November, under the sign of Scorpio just as Venus crested the horizon. Snow, soon to develop into the great Armistice Day Blizzard of 1940, already was beginning to fall, covering the streets and sidewalks around St. Joseph's Hospital in Souix City, Iowa. This was not home.
Home would be a lake spanning the border between Minnesota and Ontario, and before November passed I would have been taken there to be baptized in the small Catholic Church of the Sacred Heart in Baudette, Minnesota. It was summer before I awakened to Lake of the Woods. Years later I would write about this lake, calling it by a different name.
Sound moved over the water of Black Sturgeon Lake. Gulls heard. Sound lifted under their wings as air, passed through their hearts and lungs, issued in a cry. Sound moaned in the rocks. Fallen needles of tamarack and fir blanketed the ground, and sound filled them, too. Wind, bees, and the delicate feet of mice scattered the needles. A spider’s web became a harp and it sang.
Wild, sound luged through a granite pass the Eagle River carved a thousand thousand years ago and surrounded the bones of deer licked clean by wolves.
Earth opened to sound like a love. Sound entered every cell, vibrating, setting in motion the circle of the world.[1]
The sound, I now know, was “Ahhhh,” the beginning of all sound, the first sound in the Aramaic name Abwoon, now translated as “Father” in the prayer of Jesus. “A”=The Absolute, Only Being, pure Oneness and Unity.[2] It is the first movement of creation, the pre-existing, the no-time-or-space emanation before the Big Bang, the moment before moments before time, that deep vibration that continues to keep in being all that is.
In my novel, this sound became the “perfect A,” that Elise recognized as the core of her own life, the origin of all her music, and the connection between her and the animating power of the universe: God.
Within and around the lake I found wilderness. And these two images—water and wilderness—became the first lenses through which I saw the world and my own individual life.

Two Broads and a Shop: CONGRATULATIONS JANET FROM SPENCERS STUFF!!!
CONGRATULATIONS JANET FROM SPENCERS STUFF!!!
Hi everyone -- it HAS been quiet in Those Broads Land this week, hasn't it???? More about that in a second ...
FIRST A BIG CONGRATULATIONS TO JANET owner of SPENCERS STUFF on Etsy. After Sandy's Vendors' Choice treasure of last week, Janet had the most traffic generated by the treasury. SO Janet will receive a gift from Sandy's Hugs and Holidays shop. CONGRATULATIONS JANET! (AND as always, you can see Janet's shop by click on the name of it in the paragraph above, AND you can see Sandy's shop the same way!!! And also THANK YOU SANDY!!!
Part Two -- the MISSING BROADS
This has been quite a week for Sandy and Ann (me). Both of us have been sick. DOG sick! Spring colds are awful. Mine turned into bronchitis and I swear, I slept 24/7 for three days (ok ok ok so I exaggerate a LITTLE bit but not a lot). Finally gave up and went to the doctor and gee, isn't today's medicine great??? Those horse sized pills he gave me have helped me feel human again. I am also in a knee brace because of a Baker's cyst (and a little bit of stubbornness thrown it). Right now I refuse any knee surgery and the brace is NOT all that uncomfortable -- so for now I'll stick with that and it may just go away :+) This coming week while Sandy is up to her neck in orders, I am leaving for a few days so it will be another quiet week in "The Broads". We then will be back in full force (knock wood)!!
AND I want to thank all of you who are joining Those Broads pinterest board!! We are hoping that by fall shopping time, the board is so big people will TRIP over it when they go into Pinterest :+) IF you've not contacted us to join yet, get your pinterest name emailed to us and be sure to follow the board so you can be invited!
Hope everyone is busy in their shops, getting ready for graduations, spring weddings, and summer vacations!!!! Ann
"THOSE BROADS" PRESENT MAY'S SHOP OF THE MONTH --...
A NEW TREASURY --- and thank you TO OKSANA FOR CUR...
TREASURY TIME -- Thank You Maggie for this Beautif...

Flashback Universe Blog: Creator Profiles: Jason Wright
Creator Profiles: Jason Wright
If you are a comics fan, then you've probably seen that one quiet guy in the comics shop, who never says much, but is always very friendly whenever you see them. Jason is that type of guy. I think I first met Jason at the Comics Club where we were going to discuss the Kree Skrull war by Roy Thomas. We got talked to Roy Thomas via phone that evening, and he had a ton of great stories for us!
After the meeting several of us went to Ruby Tuesdays for coffee and cheese cake. Jason sat across from me at that little soiree, and I don't think he actually said 3 sentences the entire time. I figured he was either shy, or was too worn out by the awesome Roy Thomas phone interview to really contribute to the after club meeting. This really didn't strike as that odd because I once knew a really shy guy who only talked when he was talking to his CB radio.
Well, over the past year, Jason and I have passed each other at the Comics Club meetings, or at HeroesCon, but to be honest, he was way low on my radar of people to consider ask to submit a Flashback story. I wasn't even sure he even knew what Flashback Universe was.
Well one day I get an e-mail from Jason asking if he can submit a Kondorr story. As fortune would have it, Chris Sims had *just* requested to write a Kondorr story a few days prior, with a very impassioned story pitch, so I had to tell Jason no. Sort of.
What I ended up doing was telling Jason that I *really* needed a GodSpeed story, and that since I've already established *some* sort of relationship between the two characters, why not have Kondorr in the GodSpeed story?
And then, I promptly forgot about Jason's request (I get a LOT of e-mails from people requesting to write for Flashback Universe. Usually I assign the requester an Action Item, and see how they do with that. If don't think about it until I get the response to the Action Item.)
Well, a few days later, Jason sends me what is probably the single best story pitch I've ever gotten! It was short and sweet (ALWAYS a plus with pitches) but most of all, it was CHARACTER driven. Jason had come up with a beautiful plot that involved both Kondorr and GodSpeed and played off of their personalities in a perfect way. I wasted no time in giving Jason the green light on his script.
Since then, Jason has been hard at work hammering out the plot details (which have been quite interesting.) He's also come up with some great new characters for the Flashback Universe that I'm sure everyone will enjoy! Just goes to show those quiet guys can really surprise you!
Here are Jason's answers to the Creator Survey:
What Flashback Universe comic did you work on, or are you currently scheduled to work on?
Godspeed (guest starring Kondorr the Killer)
Do you have a blog or portfolio site:
http://comicshelf.blogspot.com/
What comics from the 70's did you like when you were growing up?
I didn't really get into comics until about six years ago, so I missed a lotof great stuff growing up. I'm working on reading back through some 70'sand 80's stuff and I'm finding that I enjoy Roger Stern's writing on theAvengers.What writers/artists do you think you are most influenced by?Kurt Busiek, Roger Stern, Marv Wolfman, Chuck Dixon, Peter David
Current trend in comics you hate now?
More than anything right now, I hate the over-the-top gore and 'mature themes' in a lot of modern books. It seems that there are a lot of attempts to 'shock' the reader with an extreme level of violence. I know that those things aren't what I look for in a superhero book and I don't think they're necessary to tell a great story.
Current trend in comics you like now?I love backup stories and anthology books.
Aside from getting new talent achance to get some work in, you get to read some stories without too muchdecompression. You also see the bigger publishers take more of a chance ona small backup or anthology story than you do in a full-sized book.

1. Job roles in the Tv and Film Industry<br />Christy Guy<br />
2. Roles and responsibilities in the industry<br />The Tv and Film industry employs many different employees, each with individual roles and responsibilities which equate to the creation of the finished product.<br />Job roles in this industry are divided into two sectors including ‘creative’ roles and ‘non-creative’ roles.<br />In terms of production, the Tv and film industry is split into five stages development, equating to the final product. As follows:<br />Development – the written side of the project including script writing, this section also involves finance for film ideas and scripts.<br />Production– this is the process, the setting up and shooting of scenes in a movie.<br />Post-production – this is getting to the stage of creating the finished product.<br />Distribution – this stage is the process of selling the product to audiences and this can be done for example, through cinema and retail.<br />Exhibition – this is the final stage, where the film is exhibited to audiences through cinemas.<br />Each of these different stages entail different ‘creative’ and ‘non-creative’ roles within.<br />
3. Categorising different roles<br />Management<br /><ul><li> Production management
4. Brand manager</li></ul>Creative<br /><ul><li> Hair and make-up
6. Scripts/ script writer
7. Camera persons</li></ul>Editorial<br /><ul><li> Video editing</li></ul>Technical<br /><ul><li> Editing
8. Sound</li></ul>Research<br /><ul><li> Market research</li></ul>Financial<br /><ul><li> Accounts</li></ul>Organisational<br /><ul><li> Director
9. Distribution/ marketing</li></ul>Administrative<br /><ul><li> Health and safety
10. Casting</li></ul>Although jobs roles can be catergorised, there are often overlaps in categorising different roles for example a job role such as a director can be classified under the organisational section as essentially the director direct the cast and crew and organize them and how they would want the set, for example, to look. However, as well as organisational a directors role would also come under creative as they would have a vision of how they would want the film/ programme to look and carry out tasks to ensure this. Another example of this could be camera men as this role could fall under technical, due to the technicality of the role. However, it could fall under the category of creative, as camera persons could be imaginative with different camera angles and shots. <br />
11. ‘Non-creative’ job roles<br />Casting<br />Job role: Casting assistant<br />Tasks:<br /><ul><li>Casting Assistants duties differ varying on the budget of the film.
12. Reading scripts and assisting the Casting Associate and the Casting Director to think of potential actors for the main characters.
13. Provide ‘general running duties’ including answering telephones, sending emails and faxes and making drinks. </li></ul>Skills: <br /><ul><li>Really good communication skills
14. Good organisational skills
15. ‘ability to recognise talent’
16. To have a broad knowledge’of cinema and actors’</li></ul>Qualifications and experience:<br /><ul><li>No specific qualifications or training for this job profile
17. Employees in the role usually are graduates of English, Film, Theatre, Communications, Arts or Media Studies, who have an interest in casting, theatre and film.
18. Although I have catergorised this role under a non-creative role, this role could be categorised under a creative role as Casting Assistants would think match different actors and actresses to suit different characters, therefore I would expect this would need a level of imagination and creativity.</li></ul>Accounts<br />Job role: Production Accountant<br />Tasks: <br /><ul><li>Involved in the preparation of budget and schedule for different movie productions.
19. Production accountants have to ‘set up and maintain accounting systems’</li></ul>Skills:<br /><ul><li>‘meticulous bookkeeping and accountancy skills’, ‘thorough working knowledge of filmmaking processes’.
20. - Production Accountants need to have good organisational skills and work well in an environment that is fast-paced.</li></ul>-Skills including ‘an expertise in accountancy software packages’ and different ‘budgeting and scheduling software’ are specific to this job role.<br />Qualifications and experience:<br /><ul><li>Production Accountants typically have a BA in Accountancy.
21. Lots of experience in the movie industry.
22. The specific level of experience and qualification relies on the scale of the production. Production Accountants in film often need to have a ‘proven track record’ for approval of for example, financers of the production.</li></li></ul><li>‘Creative’ job roles<br />Costume<br />Job role: Costume Assistant<br />Tasks: <br /><ul><li> Researching into costume styles and designs

28. ‘Knowledge of both costume history and contemporary fashion is useful’</li></ul>Qualifications and experience:<br /><ul><li>Could have qualifications in the fields of for example, Fashion and Costume Design at BA Hons/ BTEC level.
29. Although according to Skillset’s job profile ‘practical experience is the key to progressing in the industry’.</li></ul>Camera<br />Job role: Camera operator<br />Tasks:<br /><ul><li> Deciding on the location of cameras and lighting
30. Operating cameras to record footage
31. Studying scripts and interpreting the presentation of scenes
32. Working with and following instructions from the director</li></ul>Skills:<br /><ul><li>Good physical ability of co-ordination and strength
33. Good communication skills
34. Having ‘a good sense of visual composition, perspective and movement’.
35. Being able to work together as part of a team</li></ul>Qualifications and experience:<br />- No specified qualifications.<br /><ul><li>Most employees learn the majority of practical skills through practical experience
36. A basic knowledge of skills required – employees will probably have studied this for further education qualifications.</li></li></ul><li>Job Structures<br />Different roles in the media industry often come with different working patterns, below are different examples of different working contracts.<br />Shift work Work hours outside the standard normal.<br />Fixed term A work contract to a certain period of time.<br />Office hours Hours in which an office in a business is open for.<br />Freelance Someone who is self-employed, this contract is popular in jobs such as journalism, graphic design and other creative roles.<br />Irregular pattern A working pattern which is not regular for example, a camera operator could work hours that are ‘long and irregular’.<br />Hourly rates Rate of pay per hour of an employee.<br />Piece work An employee who is paid at a ‘fixed piece rate’ for a job, disregarding the amount of time.<br />
37. How do you forge a career in the media?<br />Going to university. <br />Getting an unpaid internship, however, this may disadvantage working class budding employees as this social class may not be able to afford to take an unpaid internship as opposed to higher class candidates.<br />Starting of in the industry as a runner could provide a route into the media, gradually working your way up to higher professional roles.<br />Example (From Skillet)<br />Lots of directors – their route into the media – ‘from entry level positions’ gaining work experience as a runner.<br />No specific route to become a Film Producer – have experience in the film industry.<br />------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------<br />Courses available for Media from A/S qualifications to post-graduate degrees at university. For example, people can study Media as A BTEC at A/S and A-level. People can also study a variety of Media degrees at university.<br />Places which specialise in media for example, are the Bradford Media School which offers a variety of undergraduate courses such as BSc Digital Media and BA Film Studies. This organisation also offers a variety of postgraduate courses such as MA Digital Filmmaking and MA Media Studies. Goldsmiths, University of London has a ‘Department of Media and Communications’ which offers a variety of programmes such as a BA (Hons) Media and Communications to an MA in Brand Development.<br /> | [

Creative Hodgepodge: November 2012
Welcome back! Last week we met one of the new samurai Hiro had recruited to help fight against the ronin. This sample picks up where last week's excerpt ended:
"Hanako-san."
She nearly dropped the long wooden chopsticks she used to stir her concoction. "Nakamura-san, forgive me," she cried, quickly turning to bow to her esteemed neighbor.
"Please do not stop your work. I was passing by on the way to the village, and the wonderful aroma from your new home enticed me to investigate."
"Thank you. But — this is actually Hiro’s home," she began.
"And you are merely a servant? No, this will be your home soon, when you and Hiro marry. And then you will have servants to prepare your food."
"Servants? No, I —" she paused in her denial, realizing that Hiro, as the head of the household, would undoubtedly hire servants to take care of the housework. The idea was unsettling. After working hard all her life, how could she sit back and let people work for her?
"Have I disturbed you, Hanako-san?"
"Oh! Of course not. Would you like some tea?"
"You are kind to offer, but my son is outside fixing a broken wheel on our wagon. I must be ready to go when he is. But I wanted to let you know — I have heard about the extra samurai Tanaka-san has recruited. You should not have to feed all these hungry men alone. Please allow me to assist you. Since you already have tonight’s meal started, I will send food over for tomorrow."
Hanako stared in amazement at the woman’s offer. It had never occurred to her to ask for help. "I — I am humbled by your generosity, Nakamura-san," she finally managed.
The older woman smiled. "You are so accustomed to doing everything alone. But these men are helping the entire village and surrounding areas. It is only right we should all help to feed them."
Hanako again stammered her thanks. "But how did you hear about the new soldiers? Watanabe-san arrived only today."
"Tanaka-san is a celebrity in the village. When his friend arrived, asking where to find him, word immediately spread. My sons learned that others are coming. When they arrive, we will all be honored to help feed and house them."
Noburo Nakamura appeared at the doorway. He bowed a greeting to Hanako and then to his mother. "Okaasan, the wagon is repaired enough for us to return home. I am sorry to make you wait."
"It is no trouble, Nobu-chan," the widow replied. "I rather enjoyed this opportunity to visit with our neighbor." Turning to Hanako, she repeated her promise to send food the next day, and left.
Hanako returned to her cooking, but as she worked, she marveled at this unfamiliar feeling of contentment. It wasn’t from the fact that she wasn’t hungry or excessively tired. It wasn’t from the fact that she felt safe with three former samurai in her home. It came from her connection with another human being, another woman, who expressed care for her well-being and was willing to help. This must be what people referred to as friendship.
She decided she liked having a friend.

Welcome back! Last week Amelia left her Giles, her trusty footman, waiting for her at the front entrance to the milliner's shop while she scooted out the side door. Read on to find out why Amelia was so secretive about her errand:
Phineas Culpepper looked up from his ledger at Amelia's entrance. "Prompt, as always, Lady Amelia."
"Of course, Mr. Culpepper. I've brought the edited manuscript, as you requested." Reaching in her borrowed satchel, she removed the bulky package and handed it to the editor. "I trust the revisions I've made will be suitable for your markets."
"I'm sure they will be. You're an excellent writer, as I'm sure you've been told."
She hadn't been told that. No one but Mr. Culpepper knew of her double life, but that was all right with her. She was able to get much more fodder for her stories when people didn't think their dirty laundry would be featured in a book.
Mr. Culpepper opened his desk, pulled out a thick envelope, and handed it to her. "Here are your earnings for the past month. Your romance stories are so popular I have my printer working six days a week now."
Amelia took the envelope and hefted it to gauge its weight. Her eyebrows rose and she drew a quick inward breath. "I had no idea my stories were this successful."
Mr. Culpepper chuckled. "Thanks to you, I may be soon able to move my operations to a more respectable area of the city." He paused and studied her over the rim of his spectacles. "You did bring someone with you this time, didn't you?"
"Oh, yes," she reassured him. "He is waiting for me at the door."
She wasn't actually lying, she told herself. Giles truly was waiting for her at the door. Just not at the door to Culpepper and Winston.

I "met" Marsha on the Sweet Saturday Samples blog hop, where she regularly posts samples from her wonderful historical novels. I love reading her stories of the American pioneer days. They're full of the strength and resolve of those who settled in the western part of the continental United States. In addition to posting her samples, she often stops at everyone else's blogs, reading and responding to our offerings. She often dispenses great advice for making our writing stronger.
Last Saturday, author Marsha Ward celebrated the release of her fourth novel in the Owen Family Saga, Spinster’s Folly. She’s my guest today, telling us one step in her novel creation process. Welcome, Marsha!
Like many writers, I rely on beta readers to evaluate my novel manuscripts. This choice list of people includes ordinary readers, writers at all levels, and those wonderful author friends you cultivate carefully so you can trade manuscripts with them for critiques. I usually go over a finished manuscript at least twice before I let anyone appraise it. But with my third novel, Trail of Storms, I was trying to meet a deadline, so what I sent out was pure, unadulterated first draft dreck. Scary!
The following is from the tip sheet I sent to volunteers on that occasion. It includes my “off the top of my head,” and oftentimes, “in no particular order,” concerns. It also alerts my critiquers to the fact that they’re not simply reading for pleasure. I didn’t want them to dash off a note at the end saying, “This is good.” I needed to know why it’s good or not, so I was specific about my expectations. It seemed to work wonderfully well, and I got very detailed responses.
Thank you for agreeing to read and critique my manuscript. I'm anxious to know what you think about it.
When you want to make a comment, suggestion, or correction, please go ahead and do so, using whatever method suits you best, such as colored font, bracketed notes, or Word’s Track Changes editing tool.
The spelling and grammar have been gone through pretty well. I still find a few words that should have been deleted when I substituted something else. If I mess up, please let me know! I use colloquial language from time to time, but not every time. In other words, not every "g" will be missing from the end of "going". That is okay, so don't worry about that if it doesn't irritate you. If it does, say so!
Repetitious use of words that are likely to hit the reader over the head—words like "fresh," or "journey," or "enough" showing up twice in the same paragraph or in successive/close paragraphs.
Consistency: Do I capitalize Daughter or Sister/Sis when used as a form of address throughout, or did I drop to lowercase in some instances along the line? Robert should always be driving a mule team. His hair is brown and he wears a beard, as does James. However, James's hair is black; Jessica, George, and Hardy are blondes or blonds; the other characters' hair is unknown as to color. The dog should be brown. Note the possessive form of James's name. I always use the "apostrophe s" convention. He rides either a black mare or a sorrel gelding, but I may not have mentioned the sorrel's neutered state. That's okay. If his horse is a gray or a palomino, I'm in trouble. I don't believe I specified horse color for other prominent characters.
Story strings left hanging at the end.
Which is akin to this: Characters dropped on their faces when more of their story should be told. I sometimes forget about the dog, but I didn't see any point in killing it off just to get rid of it, so it should be there from time to time, especially since it appears to be transferring loyalty. Where is the baby in tense scenes? Should someone be throwing up?
I really should make this mish-mash into a formal document, but it worked at the time. Perhaps if I ever have spare time, I will create an all-purpose form to which I can add specifics. Like I’m going to find spare time lying around on the ground! Wish me luck!
I certainly understand about lack of spare time! Thanks for visiting today, Marsha! Spinster's Folly can be found at your favorite ebook distributor.

I am so excited about the release of my first full-length novel, The Samurai's Garden. It was released at Astraea Press earlier this week, and now it's also available at Amazon and Barnes and Noble. For the next few weeks I'll be "on tour" visiting the blogs of several writing friends, talking about different aspects of writing the book. Today I am thrilled to visit Child of Yden, the blog of YA Fantasy author SG Rogers. I'm talking about Japanese traditions that sparked the writing of The Samurai's Garden. I'd be thrilled if you'd stop in for a visit!
SG Rogers' blog is at http://childofyden.wordpress.com/

Welcome back! I am so pleased to announce that The Partridge and the Peartree was released a day early at Astraea Press! You can find it at the Astraea Press website, or (by the time you read this) at your favorite ebook distributor.
Amelia Partridge is a very independent woman. Unfortunately, the regency period in London didn't encourage women to be independent. Amelia tries to escape the constraints placed on her by sneaking out, as described in this excerpt:
Amelia settled her bonnet over her curls and reached for her gloves. She didn't call for Jeanne. Getting herself dressed for an outing, especially when the weather outside was sunny and relatively warm, wasn't that difficult. It had always seemed a waste of time to wait for servants to assist her with tasks she was perfectly capable of doing on her own. Besides, if Jeanne knew she was going out, the rest of the household would find out, and she didn't want everyone knowing about her excursion.
She had almost reached the gate at the street when a dreaded voice from the house halted her.
She froze. Marks, the butler, was a stickler for convention. As a woman — especially an unmarried woman — she shouldn't leave the house unattended. But a companion would slow her down and make it more difficult to go and do as she wished.
"Lady Amelia, Giles is ready to accompany you. Kindly wait a moment." He didn't have to add a reprimand, though displeasure was evident in his voice. There would be a dressing down later on, from her brother.
Seconds later, the gangly young footman rounded the house from the servants' entrance, hastily adjusting his hat as he ran. He skidded to a stop a respectful three paces from Amelia and bowed respectfully.
"Apologies, my lady, for keeping you waiting."
Amelia suppressed a sigh and resumed her walk toward the street.
"Lady Amelia, please allow me to carry your satchel for you."
She paused. The satchel wasn't especially heavy, but it was large and awkward.
"Thank you, Giles," she said as she handed the bag to him. "But you must let me take it myself into the, er, establishment where we are going."
The young man frowned but nodded.
Amelia led the way, plotting as she went. Though she usually took time to observe the changing of the seasons, today her mind focused on one thing: how to get rid of Giles.

I was raised in upstate South Carolina. A highlite of the work day was lunch. Working folks knew the best place to get a "plate lunch". A plate lunch consisted of a meat and three vegetables and was served with rolls or cornbread. The portions were large, designed provide calories for hard work. I left South Carolina years ago and since then have rarely found a resturant that duplicates a Carolina "plate lunch". While traveling in North Florida we deceided to have lunch at Bett's Big T. Bett's is in an old truck stop. The furnishings are old Florida, circa 1950's so if you require fine furnishing don't even stop. Have a seat and the friendly staff will bring you some of the BEST home cooked food you have ever stuck a fork into. The meal came complete with homemade yeast rolls and buttermilk cornbread and don't get me started about the peach cobbler! In these days of fast food this type of cookng is usually limited to Sunday at home. If you find yourself near Chiefland do yourself a flavor and eat at Bett's Big T.

How to Style Art Prints in Flatlays + CHEATSHEET – • The Magical Canopy •
August 14, 2015 September 9, 2015
with all the hype for these styled photos and flatlays on Instagram and Pinterest, it’s only expected that everyone’s trying to get the best styling for their photo to “pop” and stand out.
if you follow me on Instagram you might have noticed that i style prints in flatlays very often. they look good and help to spread the news about an amazing artist i support! and since my blog’s all about free help, here are my favourite styling pointers.
i’ve compiled a few tips into a quick cheat sheet for you to download or even print out as a reminder at the bottom of this post. don’t forget to pin it if you find it useful!
• art prints of any sort {you can find my favourite picks here}
• stationery {notebooks, pens/pencils etc.}
• electronics {a laptop or iPhone just make your photo look more professional}
• flowers {artificial or real, they add the perfect touch}
• a camera {optionally, a tripod will help you get a stable, higher angle}
(do note that the above materials are just what i prefer to style my prints with, and you can definitely use anything else that you like)
1. set up a bright area with natural light for your shoot. it’s easiest to use an area near a window (you can pull back the curtains for more light too).
tip: the best times to shoot are in the morning/evening when the light’s not too harsh or warm.
2. lay out a clean background. this step might be optional for some with a nice wooden floor or desk, but for me, i like to use a sheet of paper for a clean white background that looks professional in every photo. (the secret’s out!)
tip: use a large sheet of A2-3 cardstock for a versatile, wide background that fits many sizes of prints.
3. chose a print or two that you want to focus your shot on; think of it as the “showcase piece”. pick out a few matchingly-coloured items to go with it too.
tip: use a colour wheel if you’re having difficulty deciding on which colour is the most complementary.
4. arrange your items on the background, playing around with different compositions.
tip: try putting the print in the middle, surrounding by a few of the objects at a slanted “casual” angle; or arranging them very straight and neat in a traditional flatlay manner. (examples in the cheat sheet!)
5. with your items arranged in the way you want ’em, grab your camera and shoot!
tip: hold your camera almost level to the ground so the photo will be straight on and display your flatlay from a bird’s-eye-view angle.
if you’re still looking for that last touch to your photo, you might be in need of a few touch-ups. which is cool!
i’ll be sharing my tips for editing your photos in a subsequent part, so look out for it! i hope you’ve found this post and cheat sheet helpful. feel free to share it on social media, and happy styling!

Oasis use their blog to give their fans updates on what they're doing
Amongst the host of nominations and categories announced last night [January 26] for this year's NME Awards, one recent addition catches the eye.
Whilst it perhaps doesn't hold the gravitas of say best international band, best new band or best album, the inclusion of a best band blog category recognises a significant shift in the way bands now communicate with their fans.
Blogging has become an essential part of an artist's publicity armoury, fondly looked upon as it essentially cuts out the middle man [otherwise known as the record company or management].
It appears almost every artist is taking advantage of this uncensored form of communication and jumping at the opportunity to screen videos, demos or in some cases merely highlight what they've had for dinner.

Teaser clips on web
The web is ever more important for bands marketing; in this case releasing a preview clip of a single: "Arcade Fire post teaser of new single" - 'Yesterday, the band posted teasers from both sides of the 12-inch vinyl single to their website.'

Robert Riddle Condolences | The Cincinnati Enquirer
Robert "RB" Riddle
Thank you for signing the Guest Book for Robert "RB" Riddle.
Please take a moment to sign the Guest Book for Robert "RB" Riddle.
I considered Bob a friend. He helped me through a very tough time in my life. A pleasure to have known him. Thoughts and prayers to the family.
Mark G., Ludlow, KY
Susan Hatter, Lexington, KY
Oh so many wonderful memories of Bobert. He will be greatly missed. When I was at the lowest point in my life he bought me an oar. An oar, you ask. Yes, an oar. To Bobert, (that's what I called him), it was to show me as long as I had that oar that it represented that he and Judy were my oar and I'd never be rowing through life alone that they would always be there for me. That's the kind of heart Bobert had. Will miss you Bobert but will see you again when God calls me home.

Make Up Friday | katastroffysik
Another 'Make Up Friday' is here, can't believe this is the third week we've had this already! Todays looks will be Kristens 'Interview Magazine' 2009 look. I've actually had the pleasure of trying this look out earlier on in the week and the end result is very stunning and dramatic, i loved it.
Once again a big thanks to @Jacksonville25 for filming these videos and writing the how-to (where would i be without you?). There a 'follow' button down the sidebar of the page, go click on it if you like this and want to ask her any questions. Leave her some comments and requests.
Interview Magazine Cover October 2009 How To
L’Oreal True Match NI (Ivory)
Urban Decay shadows in “Oil Slick” & “Maui Wowie”
Benefit waterproof “Bad Gal” eyeliner
Apply the primer to your entire face, excluding the eye lids. Then apply your foundation to your chin, nose, cheeks and a tiny bit on to your forehead. Apply powder and highlighter on your cheekbones if you want to.
First, primer your eyes with the Urban Decay primer potion. Apply this on your eyelid, extending all the way up to the brow bone and underneath your eye also. Usually, with any other make up look you aren’t meant to start with the eyeliner, but in this case the eyeliner is very separate from the eye shadows so it’s okay. Start by lining your entire eye, making sure that the line is thinner towards the inner corner and thicker towards the outer corner. No smudging is required of this look, the eyeliner must stay intact.
Next, you need to apply the “Oil Slick” colour, or any black eye shadow to the eye just above the crease. Begin the line about a quarter of the way in leaving out the inner corner. Make the line quite thick, remember this is a big, dramatic look. Do not put any black shadow on your eyelid. Bring the line out and into a very dramatic cats eye flick. This should extend just past the point of your eyebrow.
Then, using the same brush and colour, thicken out the liner on your bottom lid, but do not put the colour into the inner corner. Extend the line right out to meet the flick at the outer edge of your eye. Go over these steps as many times as you feel is necessary until you get the desired effect. Then take the “Maui Wowie” colour and apply it to the eye lid only. Next apply your masacara and the look is complete!

No fuel pressure 85 F250 6.9 diesel what to check

Re: No fuel pressure 85 F250 6.9 diesel what to check
I would start by checking the fuel filter, then go to the lift pump.
2000 Isuzu Diesel 4wd wont start
make sure the battery is good, to make good start. if it is still don't go, need to check fuel filter then prime the system. 85% of the diesel engine the problem is the fuel system.

2006 ford f350 deisel turns over wont start unless i use starting fluid it then runs great. changed fuel filter oil filter and oil, wrench symbol came on went into engine fail safe mode, said something...
the diesel engine is a 6.0L or a 6.4L? because the 6.0L don't use electronic throttle control. they control the demand of diesel threw the high pressure oil system they have a sensor call injector pressure regulator. this sensor is responsible of maintain the proper pressure in the high pressure oil system so that the engine could start . i also suggest you to check if it is any leak on the high pressure oil system or if the low pressure system is delivering the pressure required for the high pressure system to work properly. to do that you most have a scan tool. also you can check the pressure of the diesel pump that its in the chassis to eliminate the high pressure oil system as the cause of your concern. if u don't have the proper gauges to check the pressure of the diesel pump you could remove the cap of the small fuel filter that is next to the oil filter remove the filter and put the ignition switch in the on position and see in the container if you have a fast or slow filling. if you encounter that the filling is too slow then your problem is with the fuel diesel pump that is on the chassis this pump is called HFCM, Horizontal Fuel Control Module
Will not start only backfires and start dieseling.5.7 automatic. hear fuel pump running. ran fine last trip and parked overnight. few times in past week or two. little trouble starting. rough idle for few...

yes there is a low pressure pump and a high pressure(incjector pump) if your no getting fuel to engine check for low pressure pump to be working may also have air in system which is very hard to get out and a diesel wont run untill most or all air is gone

WOW! What a weekend!!! It started off with me and the kids picking Marc up on Thursday morning from the airport. Thursday night we had Landon's first flag football game that was cancelled due to a storm. Thursday morning my sister was admitted to the hospital and is having to stay there until she has baby Madden:(. So we made numerous trips to visit her and will continue to do so until he is born (hopefully not for many more weeks)
Getting ready for his game, before it was called off.
We had some family in town from Iowa this weekend also!!! My uncle Jay and Aunt Darcy, and their baby Evan. He is just a couple weeks older then Macee. They had a great time playing together. Evan really like Landon alot though!!! He would hug on him and want to sit on his lap. It was sooo sweet!!!
Jay made a little bench seat for my dad's tractor wagon. The kids went for rides in it all weekend and loved it!!!!
Landon even had fun going for rides and learning how to drive it!
Macee girl cheesin' it up!
We took Evan and Darcy to Cherry Berry. Evan was so sweet while he waited for his yogurt!
Using her spoon like a big girl...... do you see her boots!!!!!!!!!!!
Had to get a picture of her PINK cowboy boots!!! They are so stinking cute on her!!!
Posted by Christy Flusche at 4:28 PM 3 comments:
Landon's school always has skate nights. He loves going!!! He has fun skating, seeing friends from school, and playing the video games.
Landon and his best friend Dani.
Landon wanted to enter the races. He was the youngest student to enter the boy races. He had SO much fun!!! My picture is not very clear, but he was smiling from ear to ear during the race!!
Lined up for the races!
I am so glad he has such good friends in his class, Dani is such a sweetheart and Landon cherishes their friendship very much.

An identification code assigned to an industrial engine is read. Basic engine specification data and device-specific engine specification data that correspond to the read identification code are extracted from a database to a completion inspection unit. Various inspections are conducted on the individual engine by the completion inspection unit on the basis of the extracted basic engine specification data. The device-specific engine specification data of the engine that has passed the inspection is written into memory. A confirmation inspection is then conducted by a device-specific inspection machine to determine whether the engine has the output characteristics required by the mounting device.
4. The inspection method according to claim 1, wherein
the identification code comprising a barcode; and
the barcode being read by a barcode reader or other optical reading means when the identification code is read. Description
FIELD OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates a completion inspection method that is performed in the final stage after the assembly of an industrial engine is complete.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION The basic output characteristics, external appearance, dimensions, and other such features of an engine are generally ensured by performing various inspections in each step before assembly, during assembly, and after completion. Examples of methods of inspection during the assembly of an engine are disclosed in JP-2001-349806A and JP-2003-228409A.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION According to the present invention, there is provided an industrial engine completion inspection method for inspecting whether an assembled industrial engine exhibits a specific performance, the method comprising the steps of: reading a manufacturing number or another such identification code assigned to the industrial engine; extracting basic engine specification data for the individual industrial engine, as well as device-specific engine specification data based on the operating machine or other device on which the industrial engine is mounted, from a database to a completion inspection unit on the basis of the read identification code; connecting the completion inspection unit to the industrial engine with the aid of a communication cable; switching the operating mode of a control unit of the industrial engine to an inspection mode based on the basic engine specification data; starting up the industrial engine; conducting various inspections on the individual industrial engines on the basis of the basic engine specification data; temporarily stopping the industrial engine after the inspection process is complete; writing the device-specific engine specification data into memory in the control unit from the completion inspection unit; removing the communication cable from the industrial engine; restarting the industrial engine; inspecting, on the basis of the device-specific engine specification data written into the memory, the operation confirmation of the industrial engine when there is a correspondence with the devices; and stopping the industrial engine after the inspection of the operation confirmation is complete.
The term �basic engine specification data� used herein refers to data (including various parameters) regarding the basic output characteristics of an individual industrial engine as such, i.e., the basic performance. The term �device-specific engine specification data� refers to data (including various parameters) regarding the characteristics required by a mounting device. These items of data are set in advance and can be used as fixed inspection conditions.
DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS As shown in FIGS. 1, 2A, and 2B, the industrial engine 10 is an engine unit that integrally incorporates a combustion air supply system 30, a fuel supply system 40, an exhaust system 50 (see FIG. 2A), a power generator (not shown), and the like within an engine main body 20. The engine main body 20 is an inclined cylinder-type of OHC air-cooled single-cylinder internal-combustion engine.
The industrial engine 10 . . . is a variably-inclining engine that is capable of having the mounting positions thereof freely inclined within a 360� range in accordance with the device on which it is mounted. Therefore, the industrial engine 10 . . . can be mounted on any type of device. For example, the industrial engine 10S, 10M, 10L, . . . can be mounted on a snow blower 81, a lawn mower 82, a power generator 83, a transportation vehicle (not shown), or any of various other types of operating machines. The industrial engine 10S, 10M, 10L, . . . that has the engine output characteristics (corresponding to the characteristics of the operating machine 81, 82, 83, . . . ) required by the operating machine 81, 82, 83, . . . can be appropriately selected and mounted.
The term �engine specification data� refers collectively to the basic engine specification data and the device-specific engine specification data.
Mmfg. no.

Neil! Nice post.
All the fake marketing in the world, all the blather-and-bother about "engagement", cannot beat a genuine showing of how a company cares about people.
Neil Patrick 22 July 2016 at 19:47
I agree David. Authentic is a much abused word. But you don't get much more authentic than this. This walks the talk. Great to see and restores some of my dented faith in human kindness.
Donna-Luisa Eversley 23 July 2016 at 14:42
This is just pure authentic love for someone trying to keep it together. Admirable company any one would want to work for😉
Neil Patrick 23 July 2016 at 15:16
Spot on Donna-Luisa. And the key word here is AUTHENTIC. Not spin, spam, or posturing. Just simple kindness, decency and empathy. I think there's a ton of things for companies to learn from this.
davidhuntpe 24 July 2016 at 13:31
Donna-Luisa: Exactly the point.
Furthermore, it leads not only by example, but shows that attitude and motivation count for far more than a specific skill set. | [

Kristy’s Veggie Egg White Crustless Quiche - Athens, GA Patch
Kristy’s Veggie Egg White Crustless Quiche
http://athens.patch.com/blog_posts/kristys-veggie-egg-white-crustless-quiche/media_attachments/edit?upload_started=1369485313
Let me start this by saying that I am NOT a cook. Historically, I have tried to avoid the kitchen at all costs, which is what likely led to my hefty 372 lb. self.
However, since changing my lifestyle in 2010, I have developed a knack for opening my refrigerator and creating something with whatever fresh ingredients I have on hand.
Today, I was thinking about what I was going to eat for breakfast this week and I decided that I wanted to make my first egg white quiche. From that was born "Kristy's Veggie Egg White Crustless Quiche."
Veggie Egg White Crustless Quiche
9 egg whites 1 3/4 cup almond milk 3 cups fresh baby spinach 1 cup fresh chopped broccoli 3/4 cup Kraft Italian Cheese Blend 3/4 cup mozzarella cheese 1/2 cup sun dried tomatoes 1 small onion, chopped 1 green bell pepper, chopped 2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil 1 tbsp black pepper 1 tbsp garlic powder 1 tbsp nutmeg Chives
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Grease a 2 qt. casserole dish (I suggest using refined coconut oil). Heat extra virgin olive oil in a pan and add onions, green bell peppers, broccoli, sun dried tomatoes, and spinach. Sauté until all of the spinach is wilted and the onions are translucent. Pour vegetable mixture into the casserole dish. Cover with ¾-cup cheese. In another bowl, whisk together milk, egg whites, black pepper, garlic powder, nutmeg, and chives. Pour egg white mixture over vegetables. Cover with ¾-cup cheese. Bake for 45 minutes or until a knife can be inserted into the middle and comes out clean. Enjoy!

Nice two bedroom/two bath unit with kitchen, dining, and living areas. But you can hear everything in the units around you. People talking, moving chairs, running a shower, open/close doors, etc. Stay here if you are a sound sleeper or if you party till 4am (you'll keep everyone else up, but you'll be fine).The units were very nice, but I prefer a concrete building.The building is long and narrow and is wedged between the hillside and the coast hwy. The rear units literally face a retaining wall holding up the cliff-side (you could reach out and touch it, you may as well not have windows). The front units overlook the coast hwy and the train tracks just across the street. They have a beach/ocean view. We had a rear unit and it seems that all the conversations in the units around you bounced off the wall and into your unit and you could hear everything.The water pressure is great, but with this comes a big flaw...every time your neighbor(s) turn on the water you hear it loud and clear.Bottom line...beautiful rooms, paper thin walls. Not for light sleepers.
Room Tip: Choose the hwy noise and train over the rear facing rooms with no view and reflective noise from uni...

I needed an affordable place to stay while on business, and this fit the bill. It was definitely an interesting mix of amenities and services. It was clear tha most guests were vacationing, which was fine. The front of the hotel has a lovely view of the ocean, while the back looks at a wall of dirt. The downside to the front of the hotel is noise- a major road and an active train track run just in front of the hotel. I found the trains bothersome the first night, but really didn't hear them after that. The biggest advantage to this place is the full kitchen in each unit. And I mean full kitchen! Range top, full size fridge, nicest microwave I've ever seen, dishwasher, regular size coffee pot, blender (!), all the dishes, pots, and pans you could want, PLUS, a full size Weber grill on the balcony! If you want to save money by eating in, this is the place. Downsides include the fact that housekeeping services are not daily- just once a week. This would have been ok, had I been told about it up front, but no one mentioned it when I checked in. In general, the hotel looks like it's been around the block a few times, particularly in public areas. The rooms are nicer than halls, etc. The building I was in had one old, small elevator, which was very slow.The ugly- parking. Each building has an underground parking garage, which is great. However, the parking spaces are the smallest I have ever seen- and I was driving a compact car. If you are used to city driving and parking, this would likely not phase you, however, I found the lot to be a challenge. Overnight street parking is not an option. There is a large parking lot across the street, however, it's part of a local park and costs $15 per day to use. If you drive a large vehicle, beware.

We stayed at the Riviera Shores May 18 - 20, 2012 while attending the Doheney Blues Festival. There is a pedestrian overpass nearby which takes you over the Pacific Coast highway and the railway to the beach. The Blues Fest provided a complimentary shuttle service to the Festival which was a couple of miles away. We were on the fourth floor so didn't find the passing trains too disruptive. Large balcony with a BBQ. The kitchens are well equipped for those who wish to cook their own meals. The rooms were well appointed and good value @ $141 CDN/night. We made use of the large pool, however one of the hot tubs looked a bit "green". Extra charges for room WiFi. Front end staff very friendly and accommodating.
Room Tip: 4th floor on the south end - older section.

Our anniversary was in April, so my husband booked a surprise retreat to this resort. We stayed in the one bedroom. We had been here before about 2 yrs. ago. Since then I noticed they have done a few upgrades. They updated the kitchen cabinets and appliances and they updated the bedroom mattresses and bedspreads to a more comfortable & modern look. Also they upgraded the TV from the bedroom. We saved a lot on eating out since we took food to cook/ grill. They have a kitchen supplied with everything one can need and they have a gas grill in the balcony. They also have salt and pepper and complimentary coffee for the first two nights, more is available in the vending machines. The unit was huge, and it had a huge jacuzzi, which we enjoyed very much. They have onsite bike rentals for $3 for 2hrs. We rode the bikes down the Capistrano Creek Trail which is a pretty nice scenic trail, We rode for about one hr to and back and did not reach the end of it. I loved the view form the suite, the ocean is right across the street and you can hear the waves of the ocean, very calming. Once your ready to sleep you can close your bedroom windows and not hear a sound. There are two kinds of balconies, one has a short see through fence and the other a wood divider. The wood is more private since it goes all the way up. The glass balcony is not, your neighbor can pretty much walk outside and join you. There are more of the private balconies though than the clear ones 2/3 more. The staff is not very friendly as you often see in other resorts, that is why I put a 4 not a five.
Room Tip: Ask for the balconies that have the wood dividers if you want more privacy while using the balcony.

We had a free timeshare week with Trading Places Int'l in Laguna Niguel. They found an opening in this resort for us. It was a 1 bedroom, nice large bathroom and the kitchen was fully stocked with everything one might need. The lanai was nice to sit on at night with a cocktail and coffee in the morning. There was a bbq on the lanai also which we didn't use. The only problem we had was that the bed was soooo hard we hurt. So we went to a Walmart and bought a foam topper and that did the trick. The pillows were also hard, so I bought a cheap one to use. All in all we had a nice time during the tall ships festival.
Room Tip: Take comfortable pillows/foam for bed. ear plugs too for the trains/traffic.

A software platform in an Internet Protocol (IP) phone having the ability to be used with different communication infrastructures such as broadband, wireless communication and Plain Old Telephone System (POTS) service. Further, the software platform in the IP phone has the ability to be used with different applications operating on the IP phone. Further, the IP phone has the ability to perform additional functionality than traditional Public Switched Telephone Network (PSTN) phones, such as searches advertising, given its ability to converge voice and data within a single terminal. Im�genes(28) Reclamaciones(44)
TECHNICAL FIELD [0004] The present invention relates to the field of an internet phone system, and more particularly to an Internet Protocol (“IP”) phone with search and advertising capability that includes a platform adaptable to be used with different applications running on the IP phone as well as adaptable to be used with different communication infrastructures. BACKGROUND INFORMATION [0005] Recently, multimedia communication in which voice, video and data information are transmitted and received using the Internet Protocol (IP) is carried over an IP network. A phone, referred to herein as an “IP phone” or more generally as a “converged communications terminal” may be connected directly to the IP network over which a multimedia phone exchange system can be constructed. An IP phone is a telephone which can operate and execute voice communication in the same way as conventional telephones either via a Plain Old Telephone System (POTS) or an IP network. Further, the IP phone can use the IP network for data applications. For example, IP phones may be connected to an IP network, such as a local area network, in an office environment thereby using the network as a private telephone network circuit and as a data exchange network. In another example, IP phones may use a wide area network, e.g., Internet, to communicate with other properly configured IP phones for data-voice exchanges. In another example, IP phones may use a data network for transactional data applications and the POTS network for voice. [0006] IP phones currently have features similar to those found in traditional public switched telephone network (PSTN) phones such as call forwarding, call waiting, conference calls and so forth. Enhancements to these feature sets have been slow in coming, as market leaders in the “Voice over IP” (VoIP) telephony field have pursued an incremental approach to their product offerings, particularly because of the lack of computing power available in VoIP platforms. Currently, VoIP platforms may have to be specifically designed for a target market area and software application operating on the IP phone. For example, a unique VoIP platform may have to be developed to operate a software application used to allow the user of the IP phone to vote on an election. A separate unique VoIP platform may have to be developed to operate a hospitality application used for saving voice messages, issuing wake-up calls, scheduling room service, tracking complaints, etc. By having to design and implement separate VoIP platforms for each application operating on the IP phone, the cost in operating different applications on an IP phone may be prohibitive. [0007] Furthermore, current IP phones are not adaptable to be used with different communication infrastructures, such as broadband, wireless communication and POTS service. For example, current IP phones may not be able to connect to a broadband modem to access a software application while also being connected to a POTS line to access voice. By not being able to access multiple different communication infrastructures concurrently, the user of an IP phone is limited on the uses of the IP phone. [0008] Further, current users of an IP phone do not have the ability to perform searches such as in a contextual advertisement space on the IP phone. 27% of all on-line searches are aimed at finding local services or businesses, while 2 out of 3 small and medium size businesses still rely heavily on the phone for sales leads. There appears to be a strong demand for allowing the user of an IP phone to locate a business with ease such as in a contextual advertisement space while at the same time allowing the businesses to target advertisements to consumers with broadband connections to the home for data and either VoIP or POTS service for voice. [0009] Therefore, there is a need in the art for an IP phone configured with a VoIP platform that can support different applications operating on the IP phone. Further, there is a need in the art for an IP phone that is adaptable to be used concurrently with various communication infrastructures. Further, there is a need in the art for an IP phone with the capability of implementing features beyond those found in traditional PSTN phones, such as the ability to perform searches and advertising. SUMMARY [0010] The problems outlined above may at least in part be solved in some embodiments by a software platform in an IP phone having the ability to be used with different communication infrastructures such as broadband, wireless communication, POTS service. Further, the software platform in the IP phone has the ability to be used with different applications operating on the IP phone. Further, the IP phone has the ability to perform additional functionality than traditional PSTN phones, such as searches and advertising, given its ability to converge voice and data within a single terminal as described herein. [0011] In one embodiment of the present invention, a system comprises an Internet Protocol (IP) phone coupled to a server where the IP phone is configured to receive contextual information from the server. The IP phone may comprise a memory unit operable for storing a computer program for performing contextual searches. The IP phone may further comprise a processor coupled to the memory unit where the processor, responsive to the computer program, comprises circuitry for receiving a command to perform a contextual search. The processor may further comprise circuitry for receiving search criteria. The processor may further comprise circuitry for submitting the search criteria to the server. The processor may further comprise circuitry for receiving from the server a list of merchants matching the search criteria and information regarding each of the merchants in the list. [0012] In another embodiment of the present invention, a system comprises an Internet Protocol (IP) phone coupled to a server where the IP phone is configured to receive a ballot from the server. The IP phone comprises a memory unit operable for storing a computer program for performing a vote on the ballot. The IP phone may further comprise a processor coupled to the memory unit where the processor, responsive to the computer program, comprises circuitry for receiving the ballot from the server. The processor may further comprise circuitry for selecting either yes, no or abstain for each issue on the ballot. The processor may further comprise circuitry for submitting the selections for each issue on the ballot to the server. [0013] In another embodiment of the present invention, a system comprises an Internet Protocol (IP) phone comprising a software platform where the software platform comprises a first layer controlling a hardware configuration of the IP phone. The software platform may further comprise a second layer interacting with the first layer. The second layer may provide an execution environment. The software platform may further comprise a third layer interacting with the second layer. The third layer may interface with multiple communication infrastructures. The software platform may further comprise a fourth layer interfacing with the third layer. The fourth layer may provide communication services and data services required by applications. The software platform may further comprise a fifth layer interfacing with the fourth layer. The fifth layer may implement logic used to run applications operating on the IP phone. [0014] In another embodiment of the present invention, a method for developing domain-specific applications for Internet Protocol (IP) phone may comprise the step of defining a requirement specification for an application. The method may further comprise identifying features of a first software layer in a software platform of an IP phone to be incorporated into the application. The first software layer may be configured to provide communication services and data services required by the application. The method may further comprise enabling the identified features in the first layer in the software platform of the IP phone. The method may further comprise building a client interface to allow features required for the application to be implemented but are not covered by the first layer to collaborate with the first layer in the software platform of the IP phone. The method may further comprise implementing the features not covered by the first layer but are required for the application to be implemented.

In other instances, well-known circuits and software modules have been shown in block diagram form in order not to obscure the present invention in unnecessary detail. For the most part, details considering 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. [0047] FIG. 1 illustrates a high level diagram of an embodiment of the present invention of a system 100 implementing a multi-layer fixed telephone system 101 interacting with different communication infrastructures. Referring to FIG. 1, system 100 allows multi-layer fixed telephone system 101 (referred to herein as an “IP phone”) to interact with other entities over different communication infrastructures, such as data, voice, mobile and Public Switched Telephone Networks (PSTN) 102, 103, 114, 105, respectively, to provide telephony functions and run applications.

Telephony services server 109 may be configured to provide services that allow IP phone 101 to communicate with other analog and VoIP terminals and extend its range of available telephony features. [0053] System 100 may further include a converged messaging and directory server 110 coupled to data network 102. Converged messaging and directory server 110 may be configured to contain all the components necessary to provide the user with a unified converged platform to send and receive electronic and voice mail messages. In addition, server 110 may provide IP phone 101 with access to personal and public contact directories. [0054] System 100 may further include a database repository 111 coupled to data network 102. Database repository 111 may be configured to manage and provide IP phone 101 and servers 107, 108, 109 and 110 with data needed to perform their tasks. [0055] It is noted that FIG. 1 is illustrative and that not all of the components of system 100 were depicted for the sake of brevity (e.g., provisioning and configuration servers). It is further noted that system 100 is not to be limited in scope to the system disclosed. [0056] FIG. 2 illustrates an embodiment of the present invention of an external configuration of IP phone 101. Referring to FIG. 2, IP phone 101 includes a touch screen display 201 with the capability of displaying graphical images and collecting input from the user by pressing certain areas in the screen with a finger or an instrument designed for such purposes such as a stylus. IP phone 101 may further include a message waiting indicator 202 to alert the user that a new message has arrived to the user's inbox.

To each side of directional keys 203A-D, IP phone 101 includes SEND and END keys 205, 206, respectively. Keys 205, 206 may be used as an alternative to the touch screen to exercise telephony features in graphical user interface 201 such as initiating and finishing a call. In addition, keys 205, 206 can be used to help the user navigate the user interface; for example, using END button 206 to go directly to the home screen or cancel some operation. IP Phone 101 also includes the following connectors distributed along side 213 for external devices: Universal Serial Bus (USB) 214, headset 215, microphone, 216, Ethernet switched port for Personal Computer (PC) and Local Area Network (LAN), 217 and 218, respectively, power supply 219, RJ-11 (POTS) connector 220, antenna 221 for support of wireless protocols such as, but not limited to, wireless fidelity (WI-FI) and Zigbee, RS-232 serial port 222, and JTAG connector 223. [0057] IP phone 101 may further include an opening 207 for a phone speaker and a handset cradle 208 for corded or cordless handsets. IP phone 101 may further include a standard telephony keypad array 209 consisting of digits 0 to 9, the star and pound keys. Below keypad 209, IP phone 101 may include a circular key 210 used to activate and deactivate speakerphone 207. At each side of speakerphone key 210, two triangular keys 211A-B may be used to increase (211B) and decrease (211A) the volume of the active audio output: handset, headset, speaker or ringer. Below speakerphone and volume keys 210, 211A-B, respectively, IP phone 101 includes an indicator 212 that turns on when speakerphone 207 is active and turns off when speakerphone 207 is inactive. [0058] An embodiment of the hardware configuration of IP phone 101 is provided below in association with FIG. 27. Referring to FIG. 27, IP phone 101 may include a processor 2701 coupled to various other components by system bus 2713. An operating system 2710 may run on processor 2701 and provide control and coordinate the functions of the various components of FIG. 27. An application 2711 in accordance with the principles of the present invention may run in conjunction with operating system 2710 and provide algorithms, domain-specific knowledge and calls to operating system 2710 where the algorithms, domain-specific knowledge and calls implement the various functions or services to be performed by application 2711. Application 2711 may include, for example, an application configured to perform a contextual search as discussed further below in association with FIG. 21. Application 2711 may further include an application configured to perform a local caching of contextual search results as discussed further below in association with FIG. 22. Application 2711 may further include an application configured to perform a one-touch call as discussed further below in association with FIG. 23. Application 2711 may further include an application configured to order from a merchant using the no contact call service feature as discussed further below in association with FIG. 25. Application 2711 may further include an application configured to vote on one or more issues on a ballot as discussed further below in association with FIG. 26. Application 2711 may further include an application configured to host other domain-specific applications as discussed further below in association with FIG. 7. Application 2711 may further include an application configured for a specific IP phone that can be retargeted to a new hardware platform and/or operating system as discussed further below in association with FIG. 8. Application 2711 may further include an application configured for a specific IP phone that can be retargeted to a new communications infrastructure as discussed further below in association with FIG. 9 [0059] Read only memory (ROM) 2702 may be coupled to system bus 2713 and could include a basic input/output system (“BIOS”) that controls certain basic functions of IP phone 101. Persistent memory (“FLASH”) 2712 may be coupled to system bus 2713 and include the operating system 2710, configuration data and user data. It is noted that local directories accessible through supported interfaces 1609 (discussed further below in association with FIG. 16) may reside in FLASH 2712. It is further noted that one or more applications 2711 may reside in FLASH 2712, Random access memory (RAM) 2709 and disk adapter 2707 may also be coupled to system bus 2713. It should be noted that software components including operating system 2710 and application 2711 may be loaded into RAM 2709 which may be IP phone's 101 main memory. Disk adapter 2707 may be an integrated drive electronics (“IDE”) adapter that communicates with a disk unit 2708, e.g., disk drive. It is noted that the applications mentioned above may reside in disk unit 2708. It is further noted that local directory accessible via supported interfaces 1609 (discussed further below in association with FIG. 16) may reside in disk unit 2708. [0060] Returning to FIG. 27, in conjunction with FIG. 1, communications adapter 2705 may also be coupled to system bus 2713. Communications adapter 2705 may interconnect bus 2713 with an outside network 2704 enabling IP phone 101 to communicate with data network 102, servers 106, 107, 108, 109, 110, analog phones 113 via PSTN 105, mobile phone 115 via mobile network 114, etc. [0061] Returning to FIG. 27, in conjunction with FIG. 2, other devices 2703 may be integrated into the system bus 2713 via miscellaneous input/output (I/O) ports 2706. [0062] Implementations of the invention include embodiments as a VoIP phone (IP phone) programmed to execute the method or methods described herein, and as a computer program product. According to the implementations, sets of instructions for executing the method or methods may be resident in the random access memory 2709 of one or more systems configured generally as described above. Until required by IP phone 101, the set of instructions may be stored as a computer program product in another computer memory, for example, in disk unit 2708. Furthermore, the computer program product may also be stored at another computer and transmitted when desired to the IP phone 101 by a network or by an external network 2704 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. [0063] IP phone 101 includes a software platform with multiple layers adaptable to be used with different applications operating on IP phone 101 as well as adaptable to using different communication infrastructures. An embodiment of such a software platform is provided below in association with FIG. 3. [0064] Referring to FIG. 3, platform 300 of IP phone 101 may include five layers. Layer 1 (hardware platform) 301 of platform 300 may include software to control the physical embodiment of IP phone 101. The physical embodiment includes, but is not limited to, Application-Specific Integrated Circuits (ASICs), processing elements, Input/Output (I/O) devices, peripherals, and storage elements. [0065] Layer 2 (operating system services) 302 of platform 300 provides an interface to access operating system (OS) services and hardware platform devices. Layer 2 302 provides an execution environment for the software modules and a hardware abstraction layer. Among the responsibilities of layer 2 302 include implementing common OS services such as memory management, task management, date and time information, and access to peripherals; providing file system services to emulate hard disk drive on flash memory devices; providing a Transport Control Protocol/Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) networking API and the implementation of other required protocols such as Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP), Trivial File Transfer Protocol (TFTP), Simple Network Time Protocol (SNTP) and Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP); providing an embedded web server implementation that allows remote configuration through a web browser; implementing core graphics functionality for drawing, window management, event routing, fonts and bitmaps; and, implementing hardware drivers for each of the converged communication terminal's 101 peripherals. [0066] Layer 3 (communications infrastructure services) 303 of platform 300 may be configured to interface with multiple communication infrastructures. Layer 3 303 of platform 300 contains a local services pool and a remote services pool, as illustrated in FIG. 4. It is important to note that system 100 (FIG. 1) contains a basic set of telephony features provided by a Common Converged Communication Base Services (CCCBS) layer 304, as discussed below, which makes server-less communications straightforward as there is no reliance on the server/proxy for such features. [0067] FIG. 4 illustrates an embodiment of the present invention of layer 3 303. Referring to FIG. 4, in conjunction with FIGS. 1 and 3, layer 3 303 may include a remote services pool 401. Remote services pool 401 refers to components that do not reside locally on IP phone 101, but rather on telephony services 109 or PSTN 105 with which IP phone 101 may have to collaborate to provide extended communications features and converged voice/data/video services and/or interface with proprietary IP PBXs 107, application servers 108 and PSTN elements such as centrex, call managers and softswitches. For every specific external collaborating entity, there might be an adapter module that implements all or part of the functionality exposed by a Communication Infrastructure Services (CIS) API 307, as discussed below. [0068] Layer 3 303 may further include a local services pool 402. Local services pool 402 refers to components that reside on IP phone 101 and can provide an interface to communicate and collaborate with proprietary IP PBXs 107, application servers 108 and PSTN 105 elements such as centrex, call managers and softswitches. While the vendor-specific interface implementation could reside locally or remotely on a network server or switch, the advantage of implementing this component on a network server or switch and leaving locally only a proxy to those services is that the need to create a new converged communications terminal 101 image for each change in an external component may be avoided. In addition, the gateway implementation may not be constrained by the (possibly) limited IP phone 101 resources. [0069] Returning to FIG. 3, platform 300 includes a layer 4 (common converged communications base services) 304. Layer 4 304 includes communications (telephony) specific services as well as other data services commonly that may be required by domain-specific converged communication applications (referring to applications operating on IP phone 101), as illustrated in FIG. 5. [0070] FIG. 5 illustrates an embodiment of the present invention of layer 4 304. Referring to FIG. 5, layer 4 304 includes telephony services 501. Telephony services 501 include call processing functions that implement the core functionality to initiate, terminate and manage phone calls over VoIP and/or POTS communication infrastructures. Layer 4 304 may further include an implementation of signaling, media transport, voice processing and call control functionality. Among the responsibilities of these functions are: providing basic call control features; providing call setup and tear down functionality through protocols like Session Initiation Protocol (SIP), H.323, Media Gateway Control Protocol (MGCP) and others; providing media transport and signaling through protocols like Real-Time Protocol (RTP) and Real-Time Control Protocol (RTCP); providing voice processing features (echo cancellation, Voice Activity Detection (VAD), jitter buffering, etc); and notifying call-related events to the upper layer. [0071] Layer 4 304 may further include other services 502, such as data services. Services 502 may include Hyper-Text Transfer Protocol (HTTP) clients, Remote Procedure Call/Simple Object Access Protocol (RPC/SOAP), eXtensible Markup Language (XML) parser, directory services, configuration, Personal Computer/Personal Data Assistant (PC/PDA) synchronization, and user interface. HTTP client services provide a transport protocol to store and retrieve from server objects such as XML documents and images and play an important role in IP communications and application development, therefore enabling converged communications terminal 101 to participate in web-centric architectures. RPC/SOAP services, implement an interface to make remote procedure calls. Remote procedure calls allow IP phone 101 to send requests to and receive responses from components in the computer network. SOAP is an implementation of RPC that uses XML to format request/response information and HTTP to transport this information. Providing support for SOAP enables IP phone 101 to participate in web services. XML parser services translate data represented in XML format into internal data structures and requests for services. Structuring documents using XML allows sharing of information between different platforms and applications. In IP phone 101 there are at least three applications for XML: to describe the user interface layout and components, to make remote procedure calls and to format configuration files. Light-weight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP) provides an interface to access information in directory servers. Directory services are commonly used to carry out three main requirements of Internet Protocol (IP) telephony: authentication, personalization and white pages. Configuration services allow for the management of IP phone 101 settings such as: device ID, network, dial-plans, audio (codecs, Dual Tone Multi-Frequency (DTMF), voice processing), call control, SIP related parameters, volume, display, date/time, authentication, security, voice mail, phone book, ringer behavior, power management, language, peripherals, and software management. These services also implement routines for automatic retrieval of phone configuration and software upgrades from a server. PC and PDA communications services provide an interface to communicate and collaborate with external user devices such as the PC and PDA. IP phone 101 should collaborate closely with these devices to share information, keep that information synchronized, and accomplish tasks more effectively. [0072] Returning to FIG. 3, platform 300 includes a layer 5 (domain-specific applications) 305. Layer 5 305 implements the business logic and the presentation logic used to run applications operating on IP phone 101 as illustrated in FIG. 6. [0073] FIG. 6 illustrates an embodiment of the present invention of layer 5 305. Referring to FIG. 6, layer 5 305 includes business logic 601 that provides the mechanisms to combine the services provided by underlying modules into coherent applications that add some value to the end user. Some components of business logic 601 may run locally on IP phone 101 and some components will run remotely in an application server 108 (FIG. 1). Some examples include extended calling features, phone directories, management and diagnostic tools, unified messaging, intelligent call management, instant messaging, contact management, personalized ring tones, call tracking, remote collaboration tools, and industry specific applications. It is at this layer that domain-specific differentiating features are implemented. [0074] Layer 5 305 further includes presentation logic 602 that responds to the fact that the primary concerns of the User Interface (UI) module are the mechanisms of user interaction and how to lay out an appropriate presentation to the user in contrast with the primary concerns of business logic 601 are application domain policies and persistent storage interactions. The UI module may change according to customer's needs without changing the applications core functionality. For example, the same application domain modules with rich, web-based or text-based clients could be reused. Furthermore, the application module can be tested independently without resorting to awkward Graphical User Interface (GUI) scripting tools. [0075] Layer 4 304 may be leveraged in the design of differentiated IP phones 101 via the following APIs. An operating system services API 306 provides common methods to access services provided by the operating system. For each specific operating system there is a module that supports the abstraction. [0076] A Communication Infrastructure Services (CIS) API 307 provides common methods to access converged communication services available via the installed infrastructure. For each vendor-specific infrastructure there will be a module that will support the abstraction. [0077] A Common Converged Communication Base Services (CCCBS) API 308 provides a standard method to access common converged communication services previously developed to satisfy a broad-range of converged communication domain-specific applications. [0078] Platform 300 may be used to develop domain-specific applications (specific applications operating on IP phone 101) for converged communication devices, to retarget one or more domain-specific applications developed for a specific IP phone 101 to a new hardware platform and/or operating system and/or communications infrastructure. [0079] The method by which domain-specific applications for IP phones 101 may be rapidly developed based on the flexible software platform 300 previously described is presented schematically in FIG. 7. FIG. 7 illustrates a method 700 for the development of domain-specific applications for converged communication terminals (IP phones 101) based on software platform 300 (FIG. 3) in accordance with an embodiment of the present invention. [0080] Referring to FIG. 7, in conjunction with FIGS. 1-3, in step 701, the requirement specifications for the application of interest are defined. In step 702, the modules from common converged communications base services layer 304 to be incorporated into domain-specific application 305 is identified. Once these services are identified, these features are enabled in base services 304 in step 703. In step 704, a client interface is built so that the extra functionality developed for domain-specific application 305 can collaborate with the previously available base services layer 304. In step 705, any extra functionality that is not covered by base services 304 that is required for the domain-specific application of interest 305 is implemented. Method 700 leverages CCCBS API 308. [0081] It is noted that method 700 may include other and/or additional steps that, for clarity, are not depicted. It is further noted that method 700 may be-executed in a different order than presented and that the order presented in the discussion of FIG. 7 is illustrative. It is further noted that certain steps in method 700 may be executed in a substantially simultaneous manner. [0082] The method by which one or more domain-specific applications developed for a specific IP phone 101 (FIGS. 1-3) may be rapidly retargeted to a new hardware platform and/or operating system based on the flexible software platform 300 (FIG. 3) previously described is presented schematically in FIG. 8. FIG. 8 illustrates a method 800 by which one or more domain-specific applications developed for a specific IP phone 101 may be rapidly retargeted to a new hardware platform and/or operating system based on the flexible software platform 300 in accordance with an embodiment of the present invention. [0083] Referring to FIG. 8, in conjunction with FIGS. 1-3, in step 801, the differences between constructs of the original and the new operating systems are identified. Further, any new hardware drivers that would be needed are identified. Once these have been identified, an operating system services layer adapter module is built as part of API 306 for the new operating system and the implementation of the new hardware drivers in step 802. Method 800 leverages the operating system services API 306. [0084] It is noted that method 800 may include other and/or additional steps that, for clarity, are not depicted. It is further noted that method 800 may be executed in a different order than presented and that the order presented in the discussion of FIG. 8 is illustrative. It is further noted that certain steps in method 800 may be executed in a substantially simultaneous manner. [0085] The method by which one or more domain-specific applications developed for a specific IP phone 101 (FIGS. 1-3) may be rapidly retargeted to a new communications infrastructure based on the flexible software platform 300 (FIG. 3) previously described is presented schematically in FIG. 9. FIG. 9 illustrates a method 900 by which one or more domain-specific applications developed for a specific IP phone 101 may be rapidly retargeted to a new communications infrastructure based on the flexible software platform 300 in accordance with an embodiment of the present invention. [0086] Referring to FIG. 9, in conjunction with FIGS. 1-3, in step 901, an adapter module for the new communications infrastructure services layer 303 on which IP phone 101 will be deployed is built. In step 902, communications infrastructure services layer 303 is configured to accept the new module and to have it collaborate with pre-existing modules. Method 900 leverages operating system services API 306 and communications infrastructure services API 307. [0087] It is noted that method 900 may include other and/or additional steps that, for clarity, are not depicted. It is further noted that method 900 may be executed in a different order than presented and that the order presented in the discussion of FIG. 9 is illustrative. It is further noted that certain steps in method 900 may be executed in a substantially simultaneous manner. [0088] An embodiment of a client-server communications architecture for which software platform 300 (FIG. 3) and methods described above can be used to develop client converged communication terminal devices 101 that can support the distribution of value-added services to end-users is illustrated in FIG. 10. FIG. 10 illustrates an embodiment of the present invention of a client-services communications architecture 1000 for which software platform 300 and methods described above can be used to develop client converged communication terminal devices 101 that can support the distribution of value-added services to end-users. [0089] Referring to FIG. 10, client-services communications architecture 1000 forms the basis of a Transactional Application Delivery System (TADS) for service providers and/or third party developers and content providers to rapidly develop, deliver, and manage revenue generating and productivity enhancing data-voice applications for IP phones 101. Data-voice applications are those that take advantage of voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) and/or POTS/Broadband infrastructures. [0090] As illustrated in FIG. 10, TADS server side elements 1001 communicate with TADS client side elements 1002, e.g., IP phones 101, via data network 102, e.g., Internet. Client-services communications architecture 1000 has built-in flexibility allowing it to evolve with advancements in hardware, software, protocols, thus providing an extensive platform for delivery of applications and content. The following are among the main characteristics of software platform 300 (client-services communications architecture 1000). [0091] TADS 1000 provides an integrated download and content management system which enables the delivery of software and content to enabled devices. This download manager supports the entire process of software provisioning, including the submission of content and applications from third-party developers, testing and certification of those applications, bundling, pricing, demographics-based targeted promotions, and delivery to enabled terminals. [0092] TADS 1000 further includes the capability to remotely, provision, configure, or upgrade compatible devices. This enables providing online help support to users and reducing the need for on premise visits. Through this capability, service providers are able to bring up new clients, push the latest software updates to the terminals, or remotely perform a move, add, or change to a customer's system. [0093] TADS servers 1001 may process all voice and data before transmitting to the device. TADS servers 1001 communicate with devices 1002 to determine the optimal delivery, compression, and formatting of the information to be displayed on IP phone 101. This content optimization will maximize the service providers use of available device resources ate at the customer's premise. [0094] TADS 1000 further includes the capability of using open standard interfaces to enable quick and easy integration with a carrier's existing systems and third party equipment and software. [0095] Furthermore, all software components of TADS 1000 incorporate redundancy and load balancing to provide a very high level of service availability. To enable carrier grade reliability, TADS servers 1001 route all voice and data traffic to other servers should it encounter any hardware or software failures. TADS 1000 provides scalability simply through the addition of servers. A more detailed description of TADS 1000 is provided below in association with FIG. 11. [0096] FIG. 11 illustrates an embodiment of the present invention of the server and client sides of TADS 1000. Referring to FIG. 11, TADS 1000 includes a server side 1001 (FIG. 10) and a client side 1002 (FIG. 10). It is noted that TADS server 1001 refers to server 108 (FIG. 1) and that TADS client 1002 refers to IP phone 101 (FIGS. 1-3). [0097] TADS server side elements 1001 include a front-end console 1101 that allows merchants to submit to a content distribution platform 1204 (FIG. 12 which will be discussed below), via a web-based interface (not shown), multi-media advertising content, define the demographic characteristics of the target audience, schedule the dates and times when advertisements from third parties should be distributed, and pay for the service. A third-party may develop an alternate front-end console 1119 that may extend upon front-end console 1101. [0098] TADS server side elements 1001 further include a TADS server protocol engine 1102 that handles all communications using the TADS protocol on the server side for handling transactions, distributing advertisements, subscribing clients to distribution groups and delivering products to clients. [0099] TADS server side elements 1001 further include various server software modules and databases (discussed below) on top of which telephony applications and converged voice-data applications and services may be constructed. TADS server side elements 1001 further include a settlement manager 1302 (FIG. 13 which will be discussed below) that maintains a log of all end-user actions during a converged communications session that can then be used to determine profit allocation throughout the value chain (merchants, content providers, service providers, and the owner of the content distribution platform) as well as to obtain valuable closed activity reports that may be used to drive new services and log valuable demographic data on all end-user transactions. [0100] Referring to FIG. 11, TADS front-end (console) 1101 may be configured to be a front-end to the Transactional Applications Delivery System (TADS) programmatic API 1103. TADS front-end (console) 1101 presents a selective view of all the data accessible to programmatic API 1103. This includes custom graphical user interfaces, web-based interfaces, command line interfaces, and others. Customized front-ends can be developed by third-parties also. [0101] TADS programmatic APIs 1103 expose all aspects of the TADS framework to calling applications. This includes browsing (read, write, delete, add) information on consumers, vendors, billing, channel definitions, transactions, content and distribution groups. [0102] TADS server side elements 1001 further include a vendor management module 1104 configured to allow access to a vendor database 1105. Vendor management module 1104 may be an adapter to communicate with an existing system or internal vendor database 1105. All the information regarding vendors is stored and accessed through vendor management module 1104. Vendor management module 1104 can be used by a content programming module 1106 to get vendor information. Vendors are clients of the service provider. They buy advertisement space/time on IP phone 101 and get orders from customers through IP phone 101. [0103] TADS server side elements 1001 further include a demographics module 1107 configured to access a consumer database 1108 and apply rules to query records that show specific demographic characteristics. Demographics module 1107 may further include an adapter to communicate with an existing system or an internal consumer database 1108. [0104] TADS server side elements 1001 further include a user management module 1109. Users of TADS-enabled clients may be regarded as consumers by the vendors using TADS. Users can be added, changed or deleted through the use of user management module 1109. All information regarding users is accessed through user management module 1109. [0105] TADS server side elements 1001 further include content programming module 1106, as mentioned above. Content programming module 1106 is involved in defining the distribution and exposition of advertisements throughout the network of TADS-enabled clients, e.g., IP phone 101. Advertisements are exposed at the remote clients by the transactional applications distributed by TADS server 1001. Vendors can use the graphical user interface exposed by TADS front-end 1101 to access content programming module 1106. Content programming module 1106 may be used to create distribution groups for advertisements and to schedule showing time among the clients in the group. Vendors can define distribution and level of exposure for an advertisement using criteria such as user demographics, geographical or organizational boundaries and buying history. The resulting scheduling information is stored in a distribution group schedule database 1110. [0106] TADS server side elements 1001 further include a transaction engine 1111. Transaction engine 1111 is an engine that autonomously handles transactions from TADS clients 1002. Transaction engine 1111 may be configured to keep records of all transactions handled. Transaction engine 1111 may also access a billing database 1112 (or an external billing system). Transaction engine 1111 can also change consumer database 1108 to reflect particular information about consumer buying behavior in consumer database 1108. Transactions are started by clients 1002. A transaction starts with a consumer selecting an advertisement on a TADS-enabled device 1002. Client and server exchange purchase order details and after the order is confirmed the product is delivered (when appropriate) over network 102. A transaction ends when the product is delivered to the TADS-enabled device, e.g., IP phone 101. [0107] TADS server side elements 1001 further include TADS server protocol engine I 1102, as mentioned above. TADS server protocol engine 1102 may be configured to handle all communications using the TADS protocol on the server side. The TADS communication protocol is used for handling transactions, distributing advertisements, subscribing clients to distribution groups and delivering products to clients 1002. [0108] TADS server side elements 1001 further include a Transactional Applications (TA) distribution engine 1113. TA distribution engine 1113 may be used to distribute Transactional Applications (TA) to TADS-enabled clients 1002, e.g., IP phones 101. TA distribution engine 1113 may be configured to look up the scheduling database for TAs to distribute and to use TADS protocol engine 1102 to send them to the appropriate destinations. Destinations are defined as groups of TADS-enabled clients 1002 that have been identified as having the appropriate channels to handle the TA to be sent. Transactional applications are chartered with the task of advertising a product and completing a sell transaction from a network of TADS-enabled clients 1002. [0109] TADS server side elements 1001 further include a group subscription manager module 1114 configured to handle the subscription and un-subscription of TADS-enabled clients 1002 for each distribution group. A distribution group contains an identifier for each of TADS-enabled clients 1002 that are members of the group. Subscription can take place at client registration time or it can be initiated by the server whenever a TA is scheduled for distribution. The subscription process delivers scheduling information for a TA to TADS-enabled clients 1002. [0110] TADS server side elements 1001 further include a product delivery engine 1115 configured to assist transaction engine 1111 to complete a sale by delivering a product purchased to TADS-enabled client 1002 whenever possible. [0111] TADS server side elements 1001 further include a billing manager module 1116 used to access billing information. Billing manager module 1106 may include an adapter to communicate with an external billing system or internal billing database 1112. [0112] Billing database 1112 may contain information on sales done on behalf of vendors through TADS and TA distribution charges. Vendors are billed by service providers for their use of TADS. [0113] Other databases in TADS server side elements 1001 include a transaction database 1117 configured to contain records of all transactions enabled by TADS. [0114] Another database in TADS server side elements 1001 is vendor database 1105, as mentioned above. Vendor database 1105 contains vendor information. [0115] Another database in TADS server side elements 1001 is consumer database 1108, as mentioned above. Consumer database 1108 contains all information related to consumers. Consumers are the users of TADS-enabled clients 1002. [0116] Another database in TADS server side elements 1001 is distribution group schedule database 1110, as mentioned above. Distribution group schedule database 1110 contains information on what devices should get what TAs and at what times they should be shown. [0117] Another database in TADS server side elements 1001 is a content database 1118. Content database 1118 contains products and TAs to be delivered by TADS server 1001. [0118] Referring to FIG. 11, elements of TADS client 1002 include a TA programming manager module 1120 configured to receive subscription requests from servers through a TADS client Protocol Engine 1121. TA programming manager module 1120 may be configured to keep track of what TAs are expected through each channel at specific times and where in the phone user interface they should be rendered. [0119] TADS Client Protocol Engine 1121 may be configured to handle all communications using the TADS protocol in each client. The TADS communication protocol is used for handling transactions, distributing advertisements, subscribing clients to distribution groups and delivering products to clients 1002. [0120] Client side elements 1002 may further include a TA execution engine 1122 configured to execute a TA at the client, e.g., IP phone 101. The TA uses a transaction broker module 1123 to engage in transactions with TADS server 1001. TA execution engine 1122 also renders advertisements on the user interface of the TADS-enabled client 1002, e.g., IP phone 101. [0121] Client side elements 1002 may further include a UI event handler 1124. UI event handler 1124 is not provided by the TADS framework. It is part of the infrastructure of TADS-enabled client 1002. UI event handler 1124 gets events from the UI of TADS-enabled client, e.g., IP phone 101, and forwards them to transaction broker module 1123 and TA execution engine 1122. [0122] Transaction broker module 1123 interacts with transaction engine 1122 at TADS server 1001 through TADS client protocol engine 1121. Transaction broker module 1123 helps TAs to complete transactions. [0123] Client side elements 1002 may further include a product installer module 1125 configured to install products in database 1126 delivered through the TADS framework. [0124] Client side elements 1002 may further include a product downloader module 1127 which interacts with the product delivery engine at TADS server 1001 through TADS client protocol engine 1121. Product downloader module 1127 downloads products purchased through TADS. [0125] Client side elements 1002 may further include a group and channel bindings database 1128 which contains information on what TAs will be delivered through each distribution group and when and where in the UI their advertisements will show up. [0126] Installed applications database 1126, as mentioned above, will hold all applications installed through TADS. [0127] It is noted that the embodiment of the server and client sides of TADS 1000 may include other and/or additional modules that for clarity are not depicted. It is further noted that TADS 1000 may be implemented with a different combination of modules and that those presented in the discussion of FIG. 11 are illustrative. [0128] An embodiment of the present invention related to the development of a series of end-to-end services and methods that enable directory search and advertising service delivery to IP phones 101 via a content distribution platform that allows consumers, businesses, content owners, and service providers to leverage the benefits of converged data-voice applications based on the TADS building blocks discussed above and software platform 300 (FIG. 3) is discussed below in association with FIG. 12. [0129] FIG. 12 illustrates an embodiment of the present invention of a converged communications content distribution architecture 1200 with end-to-end services that enable directory search and advertising service delivery to IP phones 101. Referring to FIG. 12, merchants 1201 engage directly, via a web-based interface, with the content distribution platform owners 1204 to schedule, target, and provide multimedia content for what is referred to herein as the “premium listing services” (described in more detail further below). Among the services supported by the present innovation are “web search engine-like” search capability on the terminal (IP phone 101), user-aware “yellow pages” applications on the terminal (IP phone 101), one-touch call initiation, no-contact transactions, ability to save query results on the terminal (IP phone 101), delivery of multimedia advertisements to IP phones 101, and priority listings of merchant information based on contextual data supplied by merchant 1201. [0130] Referring to FIG. 12, FIG. 12 further illustrates that converged communications content distribution architecture 1200 enables the distribution of merchant directory (contact) information and advertising content to end-user terminals (IP phones 101) supported by a service provider's converged communications infrastructure 1205 (VoIP and/or POTS/Broadband). Content may be provided directly by existing content owners 1202 or by the merchant's themselves via network 102. The architecture identifies five major stakeholders: the merchants 1201 that want to make their services and products available to end-users 1203, established content owners 1202 that possess basic contact information on merchants 1201, converged communication service providers that provide the communications infrastructure used to physically exchange information between merchants 1201 and end-users 1203, and owners 1202 of the content distribution end-to-end channel. [0131] FIG. 13 illustrates an embodiment of the present invention of TADS server side elements 1001 that further clarify the elements of TADS server side elements 1001 depicted in FIG. 10. Referring to FIG. 13, in conjunction with FIGS. 10 and 11, TADS server side elements 1001 include front-end console 1101 that allows merchants to submit to the content distribution platform, via a web-based interface, multi-media advertising content, define the demographic characteristics of the target audience, schedule the dates and times when the ads should be distributed, and pay for the service. TADS server side elements 1001 further include a TADS server protocol engine 1102 that handles all communications using the TADS protocol on the server side for handling transactions, distributing advertisements, subscribing clients 1002 to distribution groups and delivering products to clients 1002. TADS server side elements 1001 further include various server software modules and databases 1301 on top of which telephony applications 1303 and converged voice-data applications and services 1304 may be constructed. TADS server side elements 1001 may further include a settlement manager 1302 that maintains a log of all end-user actions during a converged communications session that can then be used to determine profit allocation throughout the value chain (merchants, content providers, service providers, and the owner of the content distribution platform) as well as to obtain valuable closed activity reports that may be used to develop new services and log valuable demographic data on all end-user transactions. [0132] FIG. 14 illustrates an embodiment of the present invention of TADS client side elements 1002 that further clarify the elements of TADS client side elements 1002 depicted in FIG. 10. Referring to FIG. 14, in conjunction with FIGS. 10-11, TADS client side elements 1002 include TADS client protocol engine 1121 and various client software modules and databases 1401. Client protocol engine 1121 handles all communications using the TADS protocol in each client. The TADS communication protocol is used for handling transactions, distributing advertisements, subscribing clients 1002 to distribution groups and delivering products to clients 1002. [0133] FIG. 15 is an embodiment of the present invention of a telephony services architecture using software platform 300 (FIG. 3) in IP phone 101 (FIGS. 1-3 and 27). Referring to FIG. 15, in conjunction with FIGS. 1-3, telephony services architecture 1500 allows for flexible implementation of extended telephony features independent of the back-end infrastructure and signaling protocol. It also hides from the application changes in the underlying operating system and hardware platform. Adding new telephony features entails changes in three main areas: extending the call control model and state machine, implementing the message exchange (call flow) in a particular signaling protocol (e.g., Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) or H323), and decoding proprietary extensions to the signaling protocol (e.g., non-standard SIP headers). [0134] CCCBS API 308 provides a uniform telephony interface to an application, e.g., telephony application I 1501A, telephony application II 1501B, in domain-specific applications layer 305. Applications 1501A, 1501B request telephony services (make a call, receive a call, disconnect a call, hold, transfer, forward, redial, reject, activate speaker phone) and receive confirmation events specifying if the action was completed successfully or some failure occurred. CCCBS API 308 also notifies the application of events originated at the remote end (e.g., call was dropped). [0135] CCCBS layer 304 implements telephony high-level abstractions (call, address, terminal, provider, connections) and the call control state machine. The generic call control block 1502 provides basic features expected from a regular phone such as make call, receive call, hold, transfer, 3-way conference, call waiting, redial, do not disturb, caller id, and predialing. Many other extended features such as forward, find-me, call park/pickup, click-to-dial, automatic redial, and call screening could be required depending on the deployment environment or customer's needs. Even though the main logic of many of these features is implemented at the IP PBX 107 or a specific telephony services server 109, such as a SIP Server, client 1002 still needs to extend its baseline state machine (discussed below) to participate and support these features. Customization at this level may require implementing features that only specific vendors provide and selecting the precise feature combination that a customer needs. This is shown in vendor specific call control blocks 1503A-B. [0136] CIS API 307 provides a protocol and vendor independent interface that will isolate CCCBS layer 304 from changes in the signaling protocol used to implement supported telephony services and how the protocol is used to implement a particular feature. For example, one may use either SIP or H323 as the underlying signaling protocol depending on the telephony infrastructure where IP phone 101 will be deployed. In addition, the same standard feature, call forward for example, can be implemented with a different combination of protocol messages. Since SIP is a general protocol for the establishment and management of multimedia sessions and not specific to telephony (that is, establishing telephony sessions is one of its uses), one may combine SIP messages in different ways to implement the same telephony features. IP phone 101 may need to adapt the implementation of a given feature with a given protocol to comply with the specifications of IP PBX 107 or a specific telephony services server 109, such as a SIP server, of the environment in which IP phone 101 will participate. Sometimes, even with standard messages such as SIP REGISTER, vendors may require specific headers in order to interoperate. The CIS layer 303 may include vendor-specific telephony adapters 1504, 1507, a generic SIP telephony adapter 1505, and a generic H.323 telephony adapter 1506. It is noted that CIS layer 303 may include other adapters and that FIG. 15 is illustrative. [0137] The native SIP/H323 protocol stack 1508, a part of CIS layer 303, provides portable protocol implementation between different operating systems and uses standard TCP/IP and standard network programming APIs to communicate with operating system services layer 302 which includes a TCP/IP protocol stack 1509 and controls platform drivers and hardware 1510. [0138] FIG. 16 illustrates an embodiment of the present invention of a directory services architecture 1600 using software platform 300 (FIG. 3) in IP phone 101 (FIGS. 1-3 and 27). Referring to FIG. 16, in conjunction with FIGS. 1-3, directory services architecture 1600 allows an application operating on IP phone 101 to access information such as contacts and call logs in a consistent manner regardless of where the information is physically stored or managed. Architecture 1600 hides from the application changes in the location of the information, the protocol used to access the information and in the underlying OS and hardware platform. [0139] CCCBS API 308 provides a uniform interface to an application 1601 to access call history information, phone addresses and contact information in general. This information can be stored locally in IP phone 101 or in a remote server. [0140] CCCBS layer 304 is divided in two sub layers 1602, 1603. Sub layer 1603 implements the specific information exchange protocol and the other formats the data appropriately for application 1601 through CCCBS API 308 and transforms the application requests and data appropriately for its final repository. [0141] If the information is stored locally, then a local data adapter 1604 in sub layer 1602 needs to read the file, decode it (XML, binary fixed size records) and present it to application layer 305. If the information is stored remotely, then a protocol is needed to exchange information between IP phone 101 and the remote repository. Sub layer 1602 includes the interfaces to access operating system services layer 302. For example, local data adapter 1604 may access call logs interface 1608 and phonebook interfaces 1609 to make available locally stored information to the application code 305 via the CCBS APIs 308. [0142] LDAP is standard protocol for providing client-server access to directory services. Directory services are commonly used in IP telephony to carry out authentication, personalization and contact searching. A portable LDAP client can be implemented on IP phone 101 or exchange directory information in XML format with an external LDAP client that makes the actual connection to the repository. An LDAP adapter 1605 in sub layer 1602 uses the LDAP client to fulfill application requests and presents the information to the application. LDAP adapter 1605 interfaces with operating system services layer 302 via an LDAP client interface 1610. [0143] An XML-RPC adapter 1606 in sub layer 1602 and interface 1610 in sub layer 1603 allow IP phone 101 to send and receive requests from a remote server in XML format. In particular, SOAP is an XML-RPC language that uses HTTP as a transport protocol and will provide IP phone 101 with the foundation to communicate with servers exposing information through web services. [0144] Other adapters 1607 in sub layer 1602 can be included as necessary to interoperate with other sources of contact information. For example, third party IP PBXs, centrex, call mangers and softswitches can provide personal directories and call logs so that IP phone 101 does not need to use storage space locally but may use proprietary protocol to exchange the information. IP phone 101 may also want to access/synchronize contacts with devices, e.g., Pocket PC, or third party contact management software. Other adapters 1607 interface with operating system services layer 302 via other interfaces 1612. [0145] Another important part of base services layer 304 provided by platform 300 are the Transactional Applications Delivery System (TADS) services discussed above. As stated above, the TADS is a networked system that distributes Transactional Applications (TAs) to remote VoIP agents based on user profiles associated with the agents. A TA is a relatively small hosted application that enables the user of the VoIP agent (a consumer) to complete commercial transactions with one or more vendors. The TADS also gathers TA usage information to build user profiles that enable vendors to target TAs applications to their customers. TADS services are coordinated through a network server maintained by the TADS service provider. [0146] Referring to FIG. 16, in conjunction with FIGS. 1-3, operating system services layer 302 includes Real Time Operating System (RTOS) services 1613 used to interface with the low-level memory, I/O and control resources of the platform hardware 301 (hardware of IP phone 101). [0147] FIG. 17 illustrates an embodiment of the present invention of a transactional application delivery system services architecture 1700. Referring to FIG. 17, in conjunction with FIGS. 1-3, 10 and 11, FIG. 17 further illustrates an embodiment of the present invention of how TAs in layer 5 (Domain-specific Applications) 305 are supported by software modules in layer 4 (CCCBS) 304 of software platform 300 in IP phone 101. Please find presented three examples of domain-specific hosted applications as examples, namely: preferred search 1701, local search 1702 and sponsored programming 1703. Preferred search 1701 is a series of configurable and extensible shortcuts to information on commercial services and products made available to the user by the TADS service provider. Local search application 1702 allows the consumer to browse through products and services offered by vendors local to a specific geographical region. Sponsored programming application 1703 feature advertisements selected based on usage statistics, consumer demographics and other consumer information. All three types of applications 1701-1703 can generate transactions, voice calls and other events that can be used to augment user profiles [0148] A TADS protocol stack 1704 in CCCBS layer 304 implements the communication protocols needed to distribute TAs, carry out transactions, and gather TA events. A TADS transaction manager 1705 in CCCBS layer 304 uses TADS protocol stack 1704 to carry out transactions with another transaction manager at TADS server 1001. A TADS programming manager 1706 in CCCBS layer 304 receives and manages programming information from TADS server 1001 to schedule sponsored programming and other advertisements. Application Hosting Services (AHS) 1707 provide the environment needed by third-party applications in layer 5 305 to run. A Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) module 1708 in CCCBS layer 304 provides secure transport of information between nodes of the network. [0149] TADS client 1002 services can be shared by applications targeted for a broad range of domains, therefore reusing the code that provides the services and effectively shortening the development cycle of domain-specific applications. [0150] Application delivery system services architecture 1700 may further include RTOS services 1709 in operating system services layer 302 which is interfaced with platform drivers and hardware 1710. [0151] FIG. 18 illustrates an embodiment of the present invention of an application hosting services (“AHS”) architecture 1800 using software platform 300 (FIG. 3) in IP phone 101 (FIGS. 1-3 and 27). AHS architecture 1800 may be used to facilitate the management of third-party applications operating on platform 300 (FIG. 3) of IP phone 101 (FIGS. 1-2 and 27). This includes, but is not limited to: searching for suitable applications on the web, downloading host-able applications to the target, loading and running applications on the target, security and protection mechanisms to protect other code and data on the target from malicious applications, and access methods to input/output resources of the IP phone 101. [0152] Symbolic reference checker 1805 provides security against malicious programs by making sure only the appropriate symbols are referenced from the hosted applications. This utility is used before the application is loaded into the target's memory. Another security mechanism is to have the applications run in a special mode where only some of the services offered by platform 300 are accessible. Hosted application exception handlers 1815 can protect the stability of the load by filtering exceptions based on the task that generates them, only penalizing the offending hosted application and not the whole load. Referring to FIG. 18, disk and memory quotas and other resource usage policies may be enforced by the hosted application resource management modules 1801, layout manager 1813, task priority manager 1802, memory manager 1803 and disk space manager 1804. [0153] Update engine 1810 provides application search services that allow the IP Phone 101 to find an appropriate hosted application, or an update to an already hosted application, on another computer system through the use of a network 2704 (FIG. 27). Downloader/installer 1811 provides the services required to transfer hospitality applications from other computer systems to the persistent storage (FLASH) 2712 or disk drive 2708 of the IP Phone 101. Loading & execution control 1812 implements the services required to load hosted application to RAM memory 2714 and to execute or halt such applications. [0154] Hosted application A 1806, hosted application B 1807 and hosted application C 1808 are example hosted applications. There could be several hosted applications running at the same time on the IP phone 101 or waiting to be run. A hosted applications manager 1809 is an example hosted application used to organize and control other hosted applications 1806, 1807, 1808. Application Hosting Services (AHS) application programming interfaces (APIs) 1814 provide all the resources and services the hosted applications 1806, 1807, 1808 and 1809 use. Applications targeted for a broad range of domains can share these APIs, therefore reusing the code beneath and effectively making the development cycle shorter. [0155] FIG. 19 illustrates an embodiment of the present invention of directory search and advertising services 1900. Referring to FIG. 19, directory search and advertising services 1900 constitute an example class of TADS-enabled applications and services that can be built on top of the TADS server side and client side software modules and databases. The services may be categorized according to baseline directory services 1901, premium listing services 1902, and advertising services 1903. A description of the services that can be offered under each category and how these are supported by converged communications content delivery platform 1204 (FIG. 12) are described below. [0156] FIG. 20 illustrates monetizing baseline directory services 1901 (FIG. 19), premium listing services 1902 (FIG. 19) and advertising services 1903 (FIG. 19) in accordance with an embodiment of the present invention. [0157] Referring to FIGS. 19 and 20, in conjunction with FIGS. 1-3, 11, 12 and 13, baseline directory services 1901 are constructed from existing baseline subscriber merchant 2005 directory (contact information) content databases 2003 provided by content owners 2002. Baseline directory services 1901 include all end-point views of said information displayed on the end-user terminals (IP phone 101) and the end-user actions that can be performed on the information. These services include, but are not limited to, directory queries, query results local save, and one-touch communications. [0158] Directory query involves the end-user invoking the local search application on the converged communications terminal (IP phone 101) and entering the required search information (e.g., merchant category and desired location). The end-user query is handled by the client protocol engine 1121 and securely submitted to TADS server protocol engine 1102. Server returns query results to the end-user terminal 101, providing baseline information (including information such as merchant name, address, phone numbers, and maps) and premium listing services (see below) for all merchant's that match the query specifications. Settlement manager 1304 logs all actions associated with the served transaction including, for example, the merchant's actually viewed by the end-user, the merchant's for which the end-user requested more information, the merchant's that were actually contacted by the end-user, and the merchant's for which the end-user responded to premium listing actions. Note that this close-looped environment allows the content distribution platform owner to use contextual information beyond the query search terms provided by the end-user, such as the location of the IP Phone (residence, hotel, condominium), past end-user usage patterns (preferences), and demographics to provide higher quality search results. [0159] Query results local save involves the end-user selecting one of baseline or premium listings 1901, 1902, respectively, returned by a directory query and save the associated content information into a local entry in their converged communications terminal (IP phone 101) address book. Settlement Manager 1304 logs the transaction. [0160] One-touch communications involves the end-user selecting one of baseline 1901 or premiums 1902 listings returned by a directory query and initiates a call via the converged communications infrastructure by simply selecting the “one-touch” call feature. Settlement Manager 1304 logs the transaction. [0161] Premium listing services 1902 are constructed from existing merchant directory (contact information) content databases provided by the content owners and additional information provided directly by the merchant's via the web-based TADS front-end console 1101 that feeds into the converged communications content distribution platform 1204 Premium listing services 1702 include, but are not limited to, top billing (priority placement) of a merchant's contact information in results provided in response to an end-user query (including multimedia content) and no-contact transactions (allows end-user to complete a transaction with the merchant without the need to generate a voice call). [0162] Top billing (priority placement) service involves merchants using TADS front-end console 1101 to subscribe to this premium listing service. Merchants provide the converged communications content distribution platform 1204 (FIG. 12) with contextual information required for the platform to provide merchant priority placement in the presentation of query results to end-users. The contextual information takes the form of both keyword information associated with the merchant's services and end-user demographic information that the merchant may want included in the determination of whether or not top-billing should be provided to its listing. Settlement manager 1304 logs all aspects of the transaction. [0163] Multimedia listing services involves merchants using TADS front-end console 1101 to subscribe to this premium listing service. Merchants provide the converged communications content distribution platform 1204 with contextual information required for the platform to provide merchant priority placement in the presentation of query results to end-users as for the top billing service and provide additional multimedia material to be used in accordance to the type of multimedia listing selected by the merchant. For example, the merchant may opt for half-screen or quarter-screen images to be used in presenting its listing and for specific multimedia presentations to be presented to the end-user if the merchant's listing is selected by the end-user. Settlement manager 1304 logs all aspects of the transaction. [0164] No contact call services involve merchants using TADS front-end console 1101 to enable no contact call service functionality for its premium listings. If an end-user selects a one a listing with no-contact call service functionality, the TADS server 1001 manages the request by prompting the end-user to provide, via the converged communication terminals (IP phone 101) input interface, to provide all required information to complete a transaction according to the vendor requirements. Information is then transferred to the merchant without further end-user intervention (e.g., via e-mail or synthesized voice message). Upon receipt of the request the merchant takes the appropriate action. For example, a premium pizzeria's listing could prompt the user to select amongst a variety of offers. The user would provide the required information pertaining to the offers (for example, pizza size, toppings, crust, etc) and the converged communications content distribution platform 1204 would relay the information to the merchant. There would be no need for the end-user to provide address, phone number, and payment information since all of this information would already be available to the converged communications content distribution platform owner 1204 through its relationship with the converged communications infrastructure service provider 2007 customer database 1204. Settlement manager 1304 logs all aspects of the transaction. [0165] Advertising services 1903 are constructed from existing merchant directory (contact information) content databases 2003 provided by the content owners 2002 and additional information provided directly by the premium subscriber merchants 2006 via the web-based TADS front-end console 1101 that feeds into the converged communications content distribution platform 1204. Merchants 1201 may define distribution and level of exposure for an advertisement using criteria such as user demographics, geographical or organizational boundaries and buying history. Advertising services include, but are not limited to, the distribution of wall-paper (digital image rendered on the converged communications terminal's display) and video advertisements that can be displayed on the end-user terminal (IP phone 101) based on specific criteria, including demographics-based algorithms. In all cases the advertisements would retain a portion of end-user's 1203 terminal display. End-user 1203 would have the option of receiving more information on the advertise service or product by simply selecting it via the terminal's input interface. These advertisements would be scheduled and targeted according to the merchant's instructions. Settlement manager 1304 logs all aspects of the transaction. [0166] FIG. 21 is a flowchart of a method 2100 for performing contextual search, as discussed above, in accordance with an embodiment of the present invention. Referring to FIG. 21, in conjunction with FIGS. 1-3, 11, 13, 17 and 19, in step 2101, IP phone 101 receives a command to perform a contextual search as well as the search query form the end-user. IP phone 101 receives such a command in response to the end-user invoking local search application 1702 on the converged communications terminal (IP phone 101) and entering the required search information (e.g., merchant category and desired location). In step 2102, the end-user query is handled by client protocol engine 1121 and securely submitted to TADS server 108. It is implied that a remote application server 108 will receive the criteria for the contextual search, produce results based on them and send the results back to the IP Phone 101 using a TADS server protocol engine 1102. In step 2103, IP phone 101 receives the query results from application server 108 where the query results provide baseline information 1901 (including information such as merchant name, address, phone numbers, and maps) and premium listing services 1902 for all merchant's that match the query specifications. In step 2104, settlement manager 1304 logs all actions associated with the served transaction including, for example, the merchants actually viewed by the end-user, the merchants for which the end-user requested more information, the merchants that were actually contacted by the end-user, and the merchants for which the end-user responded to premium listing actions. In step 2105, the end-user selects either baseline or premium services 1901, 1902, respectively, for the merchant of interest and proceeds according to the nature of the listing. [0167] It is noted that method 2100 may include other and/or additional steps that, for clarity, are not depicted. It is further noted that method 2100 may be executed in a different order than presented and that the order presented in the discussion of FIG. 21 is illustrative. It is further noted that certain steps in method 2100 may be executed in a substantially simultaneous manner. [0168] FIG. 22 is a flowchart of a method 2200 for performing a local save, as discussed above, in accordance with an embodiment of the present invention. Referring to FIG. 22, in conjunction with FIGS. 1-3, 11, 13 and 16, in step 2201, the end user selects a query result. In step 2202, the content information associated with the query result is stored as a local entry in IP phone's 101 local directory 1609. In step 2203, settlement management 1304 logs all actions associated with the served transaction. For example, the end-user searches for a service establishment by providing information such as the type of service establishment and the location and submitting the query to server 1609. The server processes the query and returns various options to the end-user. For each option, the merchant's name and relevant contact information is provided, as is the option to save the merchant's information into the end-users' IP phone local directory. The end-user, by selecting the local save option for a merchant of interest, will save the merchant's contact information into the IP phone's local (on-phone) directory 1609. [0169] It is noted that method 2200 may include other and/or additional steps that, for clarity, are not depicted. It is further noted that method 2200 may be executed in a different order than presented and that the order presented in the discussion of FIG. 22 is illustrative. It is further noted that certain steps in method 2200 may be executed in a substantially simultaneous manner. [0170] FIG. 23 is a flowchart of a method 2300 for performing one-touch call, as discussed above, in accordance with an embodiment of the present invention. Referring to FIG. 23, in conjunction with FIGS. 1-3, 11 and 13, in step 2301, the end-user selects the query's result “one-touch” feature (example of a feature that can be part of premium listing services 1902). In step 2302, telephony system 101 initiates a call via the corresponding infrastructure, e.g., wireless network 114, voice network 103, data network 102. In step 2303, settlement management 1304 logs all actions associated with the served transaction. [0171] It is noted that method 2300 may include other and/or additional steps that, for clarity, are not depicted. It is further noted that method 2300 may be executed in a different order than presented and that the order presented in the discussion of FIG. 23 is illustrative. It is further noted that certain steps in method 2300 may be executed in a substantially simultaneous manner. [0172] FIG. 24 is a flowchart of a method 2400 for scheduling advertisements, as discussed above, in accordance with an embodiment of the present invention. Referring to FIG. 24, in conjunction with FIGS. 1-3, 11, 13 and 19, in step 2401, merchants use front-end console 1101 to provide content for advertising services. For example, merchants may use TADS front-end console 1101 to subscribe to premium listing services 1902. In step 2402, merchants define distribution and level of exposure for advertisements. For example, merchants provide TADS with contextual information required for the platform to provide merchant priority placement in the presentation of query results to end-users. The contextual information takes the form of both keyword information associated with the merchant's services and end-user demographic information that the merchant may want included in the determination of whether or not top-billing should be provided to its listing. Further, merchants provide TADS with contextual information required for platform 300 to provide merchant priority placement in the presentation of query results to end-users as for premium listing services 1902 and provide additional multimedia material to be used in accordance to the type of multimedia material to be used in accordance to the type of multimedia listing selected by the merchant. For example, the merchant may opt for half-screen or quarter-screen images to be used in presenting its listing and for specific multimedia presentations to be presented to the end-user if the merchant's listing is selected by the end-user. In step 2403, settlement management 1304 logs all actions associated with the served transaction. [0173] It is noted that method 2400 may include other and/or additional steps that, for clarity, are not depicted. It is further noted that method 2400 may be executed in a different order presented and that the order presented in the discussion of FIG. 24 is illustrative. It is further noted that certain steps in method 2400 may be executed in a substantially simultaneous manner. [0174] FIG. 25 is a flowchart of a method 2500 to enable no contact call service functionality for its premium listings, as discussed above, in accordance with an embodiment of the present invention. Referring to FIG. 25, in conjunction with FIGS. 1-3, 11, 13, 19 and 20, in step 2501, merchants use front-end console 1101 to enable the no contact call service. In step 2502, the end-user selects a query result with the no contact call service functionality. In step 2503, TADS server 1001 manages the request by prompting the end-user to provide, via the converged communication terminal's input interface (interface to IP phone 101), to provide all required information to complete a transaction according to the vendor's requirements. In step 2504, the information is then transferred to the merchant without further end-user intervention, e.g., e-mail or synthesized voice message. In step 2505, upon receipt of the request, the merchant takes the appropriate action. For example, a premium pizzeria's listing could prompt the user to select amongst a variety of offers. The user would provide the required information pertaining to the offers, e.g., pizza size, toppings, crust, and converged communications content distribution platform 2001 would relay the information to the merchant. There would be no need for the end-user to provide an address, a phone number and payment information since all of this information would already be available to converged communications content distribution platform owner 2001 through its relation with the converged communications infrastructure service provider customer database that is part of the service provider's communication infrastructure 2007. In step 2506, settlement management 1304 logs all actions associated with the served transaction. In step 2507, merchant performs the service. [0175] It is noted that method 2500 may include other and/or additional steps that, for clarity, are not depicted. It is further noted that method 2500 may be executed in a different order than presented and that the order presented in the discussion of FIG. 25 is illustrative. It is further noted that certain steps in method 2500 may be executed in a substantially simultaneous manner. [0176] FIG. 26 is an embodiment of the present invention, illustrative of a domain-specific application for the enterprise environment, of the interaction between IP phone 101 and a voting application server 2601 used in implementing a voting booth application. Referring to FIG. 26, in conjunction with FIGS. 1-3, a voting booth application makes it possible to hold voting sessions on an arbitrary number of issues with an arbitrary number of voters. A client application hosted by platform 300 consults with a central server to get the information to be voted on and presents it to the user via a voting client user interface 2610. The user can choose yes, no, or abstain on each issue included in the voting session. When the user has finished making selections, the votes are sent to server 2601, which in turn saves all of them into a database 2606. Several reports can be made with the data using the normal DBMS methods. [0177] FIG. 26 illustrates client and server parts of the application and the data path between its cooperating modules. Client and server entities 101, 2601, respectively, communicate with each other using their voting communication protocol modules 2602, 2603, respectively. Voting session coordinator module 2604 controls voting sessions with all clients through their voting control logic module 2605 and aggregates vote information into database 2606 using a database exporter module 2607. A web server 2608 then builds reports from the database on demand. A voting session viewing module 2609 lets an administrator supervise the voting process. [0178] Although the method, computer program product and system are described in connection with several embodiments, it is not intended to be limited to the specific forms set forth herein, but on the contrary, it is intended to cover such alternatives, modifications and equivalents, as can be reasonably included within the spirit and scope of the invention as defined by the appended claims.

bento sketch book #1 December 28, 2008
Tags: bento, charaben, kyaraben, sketches trackback
1. PenangTuaPui -
just looking at your bento boxes really made us drooling…. they look so delicious and tempting, yet at the same time if we’re given these bento sets, we’ll feel it’s better to keep them for display… because we don’t know how to duplicate the same thing ..hehehe
Really feel amazed with the skills you have to drafting the pictures and turning them into reality in bento boxes~!!!
Reply 2. Sara Mueller -
It’s really nice to see the sketches, so we see the tools you use and that boxes like these DO take careful planning. You are clearly an artist!
Reply 3. ♥Lesley Anne♥ -
Did you see your link on Twinkle by Wenlan’s Favorite things?
http://www.twinklebywenlan.com/favorite_things.html
I love her stuff and urs! Go, go, go bento girl.
Your work is amazing! Keep up the great work. It’s fascinating to see how a sketch is brought from idea to delicious fruition!
I have a request for 2009 – some Okami bento? I know that game is kind of old, but it’s so great. Also, some Animal Crossing would be great. (I didn’t search to see if you’ve already done Animal Crossing). Ooh, or Pip-Boy from Fallout 3.
Reply 6. Erika -
I LOVE your Kirby! He looks like a huge meatball!
Reply 7. Violet -
WOW! those are amazing. How long do they usually take?
Reply 8. Violet -
I think an Okami bento box would be great! (Good idea, Heather!) Or maybe a harvest moon one, sticking with the whole video game theme.
Sorry, I have a lot of suggestions- Ponyo bento? maybe a Howl’s Moving castle bento? Nausica?? | [

Series Books for Girls: May 2014
International Shipping Rates from Top-Rated Plus Sellers
The biggest drawback to selling internationally is the high cost of shipping. The United States Postal Service no longer offers surface mail for international packages, so international buyers are forced to pay for either first class or priority mail, both of which are quite expensive. Most people who ask me for a quote on international shipping costs decide not to make a purchase.
On eBay, top-rated plus sellers are given commercial shipping rates, so the cost of printing shipping labels for domestic and international first class and priority mail is less than the retail rate. Unfortunately, eBay charges international buyers the retail rate even when the seller qualifies for the reduced rate and uses eBay's shipping interface to create shipping labels. This frustrates me to no end.
Even worse, I don't know of a postage table that lists the rates that eBay top-rated plus sellers are charged. This means I have to guess when buyers ask for an international shipping quote. Other times, the buyer goes ahead and pays what eBay charges, and I send a refund for the extra. I've had a few international buyers question what I end up charging, thinking the rate is too low.
I found the commercial shipping rates for first class international packages on the USPS website. The published rates are not the eBay rates, since eBay apparently negotiated a lower price. However, I made a screen cap of the commercial rates, since they are closer to what I will be charged than the retail rates. I then found a few international shipments from eBay and checked what I was charged. I went through the initial step of creating another shipping label for those transactions at various weights, making note of each amount that I would have been charged. I put those rates on the commercial rate table next to the published rates. This gives me a point of reference for what the international shipping will cost on eBay.
Below, please find the rates table with the eBay rates added by me. By seeing the difference between the eBay rate and the commercial rate, we can make educated guesses on what eBay would likely charge for the other amounts. If you purchase books from me on eBay, then this will give you an idea of what the actual cost to mail the books will be. A single book goes at the 16-ounce rate.
The prices are noticeably lower than the retail prices. Next, please find the commercial plus table next to the table of the retail rates. Remember that you can always click on an image to see a larger version.
eBay charges international buyers the rates seen on the left, while top-rated plus sellers get the reduced rates that I placed in the table on the right. It can be quite a difference, which is why I have had to send refunds to international buyers who pay when they complete a Buy It Now.
I realized that I could reduce the need for a refund for single-book orders by charging a flat rate postage cost for international orders. I would also need to consider that I have the shipping set as free to U.S. buyers. For most books, the shipping really is free to U.S. buyers because I have not raised the price to cover the shipping. Even though the shipping is free, I feel that international buyers also deserve a reduced rate, so I try to reduce the international postage at least a little bit so that they benefit as well.
Factoring in the free shipping discount, I can offer shipping to Canada for $5.25 for lighter books and for $8.44 for heavier books. I can offer shipping to all other countries for $10.10 for lighter books and for $14.99 for heavier books. I have used the bulk editor to make those changes. This should eliminate the need to refund extra postage charged for single-book orders. For multiple book orders, buyers should complete the Buy It Now for each listing and then wait until I send a combined shipping invoice.
I do not get the commercial rate for my Bonanza transactions, so keep in mind that international buyers will be charged the retail rate when purchases are made on Bonanza. This means that if you are an international buyer, then you will get a better deal when you purchase from me on eBay.
Labels: eBay Commentary, eBay Selling Tips
Due to my increased reading output from this year, I have a large number of blog posts already written. I have reviews of all of the Nancy Drew Girl Detective books as well as the Nancy Drew Diaries books. I have also started reading the Three Investigators books and am reading the Valerie Drew short stories at the same time.
I was uncomfortable during the spring months when the Nancy Drew Digest reviews were the only posts being published. Many of you enjoyed those reviews and were undoubtedly very pleased to have them. My discomfort came from wondering how many regular readers of this blog were not interested in those reviews and hoping that those people weren't losing interest.
I have a number of people who follow this blog solely for the eBay-related posts or information about scarce series books and values, and I have not published any of those in a long time. I have been remiss with respect to those topics.
I prefer to alternate what I publish so that the different groups of people who follow this blog get regular posts that they like. Since I am now reading the Three Investigators books, those reviews will begin to be published soon and will be mixed in with the already-written Girl Detective reviews so that new posts will have more of a variety.
I am also catching up with writing about other assorted topics. Early this year, I got the flu, which messed me up for around five weeks. After that, my job consumed me as we prepared for the End of Instruction tests. My mind gets cluttered during the spring months each year, and all I could do was plug away at reading the Nancy Drew books as I worked on finishing out the school year.
My mind has miraculously become uncluttered since Friday when the school year ended, so I have gotten caught up on writing about some assorted topics that should have been written in the last couple of months. Here is a list of what I have already written for the blog and in the likely order of publication.
Nancy Drew Girl Detective #18 Pit of Vipers, #19 Orchid Thief, and #20 Getting Burned
Nancy Drew #21 Close Encounters, #22 Dressed to Steal, and #23 Troubled Waters
The Three Investigators #1 Terror Castle and #2 Stuttering Parrot
Nancy Drew Girl Detective #24 Murder on the Set, #25 Trails of Treachery, and #26 Fishing for Clues
The Three Investigators #3 Whispering Mummy and #4 Green Ghost
Nancy Drew Girl Detective #27 Intruder, #28 Mardi Gras Masquerade, and #29 Stolen Bones
The Three Investigators #5 Vanishing Treasure and #6 Skeleton Island (in progress)
Nancy Drew Girl Detective #30-32: The Perfect Mystery Trilogy
Nancy Drew Girl Detective #33-35: The Identity Mystery Trilogy
Nancy Drew Girl Detective #39-41: The Eco Mystery Trilogy
Nancy Drew Girl Detective #42-44: Sabotage Mystery Trilogy
Nancy Drew Diaries #3 Midnight Rider and #4 Once Upon a Thriller
Nancy Drew Diaries #5 Willow Woods and #6 Mystic Lake
If I stick with publishing every three days, these posts will take us up to the end of July. I expect the later posts to be pushed back into August since more Three Investigators posts will be written and mixed in. Additionally, I plan to review the Valerie Drew stories and will mix those reviews in as well. You will probably get to read the first Valerie Drew review within the next two weeks.

Nancy Drew Girl Detective #15 Framed, #16 Dangerous Plays, and #17 En Garde
In Nancy Drew #15, Framed, Prince Carlo from Italy has arrived in River Heights. Prince Carlo has been arrested for stealing a priceless painting and bringing it into the United States. Prince Carlo claims that the painting is a present for Mrs. Mahoney and that he is fulfilling the wishes of a relative. Nancy sets out to find out the truth so that she can clear Prince Carlo's name.
One chapter is titled "The Secret in the Old Attic."
I did not care about Prince Carlo or the mystery at all. I found this book to be boring from start to finish.
In Nancy Drew Girl Detective #16, Dangerous Plays, Carson, Nancy, and Bess have plans for a London vacation. Before they depart, Ned's professor, Dr. Burnham, asks Nancy to check on his house in London. He cannot get in contact with his servant, and he is worried about her.
In London, Nancy discovers that Dr. Burnham's lock has been changed and that the furniture has been removed from his living room. She contacts the police and calls the professor to let him know. When Nancy goes back to the hotel, she discovers that her father has been abducted! Although improbable, Nancy suspects that all of the events are connected.
This mystery intrigued me. The problems at Dr. Burnham's home and the abduction of Carson Drew do not appear to be connected, yet they must be. The suspect is not obvious early in the story, although I did begin to realize the truth partway through the book. Even then, I was still surprised at the reveal.
In Nancy Drew Girl Detective #17, En Garde, George takes fencing lessons from Bela Kovacs' fencing school. At a fencing contest, Bela Kovacs and his archenemy, Paul Mourbiers, get into a nasty fight when one of Mourbiers' students gets injured while fighting Kovacs' student. Nancy soon realizes that someone is sabotaging either one or both fencing schools.
This book reminds me of various parts of the Nancy Drew Digest books #96 The Case of the Photo Finish, #110 The Nutcracker Ballet Mystery, and #147 The Case of the Captured Queen. The ending was wrapped up way too nicely like in #102 The Secret in the Dark. This book is like a composite of a number of Nancy Drew books.
I greatly enjoyed this mystery for most of the book, and then somewhat less so as I realized that the conclusion was going to be like The Case of the Captured Queen. Since I have read that book before, I correctly guessed the culprit and was absolutely certain I was correct even though I had not read this book before.
In the latest Her Interactive Nancy Drew game, The Shattered Medallion, Nancy and George compete in a reality show in New Zealand. The reality show is being run by Sonny Joon, a mysterious character whose comics and notes have made appearances in quite a few Nancy Drew games. Sonny Joon is the cover picture of the game, and this is the first time players have met him.
As with most other recent Nancy Drew games, The Shattered Medallion is not based on any Nancy Drew book. This game is different from the other games because it is an adventure rather than a mystery. The game has a very scripted feel to it, although this is logical since the game follows the stages of a reality show.
I enjoyed playing this game just like I have all the others, although the game is not particularly special or outstanding. Meeting Sonny Joon is pretty neat, however. In fact, the main point of the game is getting to know Sonny Joon and discovering why he always draws pictures of aliens. While the game lacks suspense, it flows nicely. All of the puzzles are meaningful to the story. Since Nancy is competing as a reality show contestant, she has to complete tasks as part of the competition.
Since the game lacks the mystery and suspense of most of the other games, it falls into the lower half of the games as to how much I enjoyed it. Three other games that I finished with similar feelings are #8 The Haunted Carousel, #22 Trail of the Twister, and #26 Tomb of the Lost Queen.
It's hard to gauge how the average person feels about the game. I have seen both positive and negative reviews. The people who post on Interactive's message boards are very devoted Her Interactive fans. Many of them absolutely hate or strongly dislike this game. They don't like the direction that the games have taken and don't like how Nancy is portrayed. This is very interesting to me.
Nancy Drew book collectors and fans fall into two groups: those who like only the original 56 books and those who like the later books as well as the original 56. The fans who like only the original 56 books usually greatly dislike all of the later books.
Now the same is happening with fans of the Nancy Drew games. Some people who played the early Nancy Drew games are unhappy that the new games are not exactly like those games. They played the "original" Nancy Drew games and don't like the newer Nancy Drew games nearly as much.
I see this as evidence of Her Interactive's success. The company has now been around long enough and released enough games that they have longtime fans who recall the early games with fondness, just like longtime Nancy Drew readers do with the books.
Look at this impressive list of games going back to 1998.

2. Stay Tuned for Danger, 1999
3. Message in a Haunted Mansion, 2000

5. The Final Scene, 2001
6. Secret of the Scarlet Hand, 2002
7. Ghost Dogs of Moon Lake, 2002
8. The Haunted Carousel, 2003
9. Danger on Deception Island, 2003
10. The Secret of Shadow Ranch, 2004
11. Curse of Blackmoor Manor, 2004
12. Secret of the Old Clock, 2005
13. Last Train to Blue Moon Canyon, 2005
14. Danger By Design, 2006

25. Alibi in Ashes, 2011
26. Tomb of the Lost Queen, 2012
27. The Deadly Device, 2012
28. Ghost of Thornton Hall, 2013
29. The Silent Spy, 2013
30. The Shattered Medallion, 2014
I have been purchasing the games since December 2000, when I purchased the first three games in an order from Amazon. I was hooked as soon as I began playing the very first game. I have bought every game from #4 through #30 as soon as it was released.
I am a Nancy Drew game fan who sees The Shattered Medallion as not that much different than any of the others, with the exception of it being an adventure instead of a mystery. I continue to greatly anticipate playing the Nancy Drew games twice a year, and I continue to enjoy them. I do enjoy some games more than others, but I still like all of them. I look forward to the next game as soon as I finish one.
I have mentioned before that I consider Her Interactive to be the strongest licensee of Nancy Drew. In recent years, Her Interactive has done more than anyone else in keeping Nancy Drew relevant and interesting to today's young people. I hope that Her Interactive continues creating new Nancy Drew games for many years to come.

Nancy Drew Girl Detective #13 Trade Wind Danger and #14 Bad Times, Big Crimes
In Nancy Drew Girl Detective #13, Trade Wind Danger, Nancy, Bess, and George travel to San Francisco for a vacation. Soon after they arrive, a creepy older couple, Ed and Harriet, begin stalking them. After Ed and Harriet's behavior scares the girls, they admit that they have a friend named Mildred, a writer, who has disappeared. Ed and Harriet are mystery book publishers, and Mildred is one of their writers. Ed and Harriet tell Nancy that Mildred went missing in Hawaii. Ed and Harriet insist that the girls go to Hawaii to investigate and pay for their airfare to Hawaii.
Run, Nancy, run!
That was my reaction as the initial events unfolded. An older couple named Ed and Harriet following Nancy around? This all refers back to the Stratemeyer Syndicate and is supposed to be cute and everything, but I found it extremely creepy and unsettling. If we consider this series as Nancy Drew in an alternate reality, it's like Ed and Harriet have arrived from another world to mess with her. In fact, the book almost comes out and states exactly that. On pages 20 and 21, Nancy reflects, "I'd had enough of Ed and Harriet to last me the rest of my vacation. I was beginning to feel as if they were behind the scenes of a strange dream I was having, like puppet masters." Creepy indeed.
Nancy has an incredible encounter with a shark on page 98 that is not believable.
This book seems like a bad Nancy Drew Digest book rewritten for the Girl Detective series. I was bored by the last one-third of the book and just wanted it to end. It was not suspenseful, and I did not care. When the book was not outright creepy, it was mediocre. It could have been so much more, but it missed the mark.
In Nancy Drew Girl Detective #14, Bad Times, Big Crimes, Nancy, Ned, Bess, and George attend a lecture at town hall about gangsters during the Great Depression. Nancy can hardly stay awake, since she has been awake for 30 straight hours while solving a mystery. Suddenly, Nancy notices that Ned is wearing a three-piece suit and a bowler hat. The lecture is no longer about gangsters but about the hard times that the town is having. Nancy observes that everyone is dressed strangely, so she runs outside, finds a paper, and sees that the year is 1930. Nancy has traveled back in time!
I am certain that whether you have read this book or not that by the brief introduction that I just gave that you know exactly what really happened. I knew as I was reading the book that Nancy had to have fallen asleep while at the meeting about gangsters. So, I'm not spoiling anything by saying that it was a dream. In fact, the book makes much more sense than if you consider it time travel.
My initial problem after Nancy arrived in 1930 was that the language was mostly modern with a few old-fashioned words thrown in. This didn't make sense if Nancy was really in 1930. Also, Nancy dials a seven-digit phone number in 1930 and reflects that it is the same as her current (modern) phone number. That's not possible, since phone numbers did not have seven digits in 1930. But it makes perfect sense if the story has been dreamed up by modern Nancy who wouldn't know any better. She also wouldn't dream up completely authentic vintage language for the other people in the story.
Once I accepted that Nancy was dreaming everything and that it made perfect sense in that context, I greatly enjoyed the story. The end of the book has a statement that makes it seem like Nancy's adventures in 1930 were not in a dream. I have to disregard that, because if I believe it, then I have to consider the book poorly written with many details wrong about 1930.
I enjoyed this book once I got past my initial discomfort about Nancy's experiences in 1930.
Nancy Drew Girl Detective #8 Scarlet Macaw, #9 Secret of the Spa, and #10 Uncivil Acts
In Nancy Drew Girl Detective #8, The Scarlet Macaw Mystery, Nancy, Bess, and George travel with a local research group to Costa Rica. The group plans to research monkeys at a jungle resort. Upon their arrival, they are shocked to discover that the resort is rundown and almost deserted. The man in charge of the resort acts strange. Nancy knows that something is up.
This book feels more like a Girl Detective book. Mr. Safer is mentioned. Nancy's forgetfulness is back. She makes mistakes, dressing in a shirt that is turned inside-out and backwards. At the same time, the storyline is like a typical Nancy Drew Digest book.
In Nancy Drew Girl Detective #9, Secret of the Spa, Nancy, Bess, and George get free passes to an exclusive new spa in River Heights. Strangely, George does not want to go and is very irritable. The trip to the spa turns out to be all but relaxing. Deirdre Shannon is at the spa, being her usual obnoxious self. A television crew is there to film the grand opening. And someone is sabotaging the spa!
All Girl Detective books from 2005 have some type of reference to Nancy Drew's history or to Nancy Drew's 75 anniversary. In this book, George's grandmother turns 75.
Almost the entire story occurs during a single visit to the spa. During that single visit, the entire mystery unfolds and is resolved. This is kind of neat.
This is a very good book, and I probably enjoyed it the most of the Girl Detective books that I have read so far.
In Nancy Drew Girl Detective, #10, Uncivil Acts, River Heights is planning a Civil War reenactment. Everyone is researching their family history to learn whether their ancestors fought as Union or Confederate in the Civil War. Nancy is quite upset to learn that her family fought for the Confederacy.
As plans continue for the reenactment, accidents happen, indicating that someone is sabotaging the event. The mishaps grow more and more dangerous, and Nancy must find the culprit before it is too late.
This book gives a nod to Nancy Drew's 75th anniversary by mentioning the 75th anniversary of the historical society on page 7.
A better title for this book would have been The Battle of River Heights. Everyone is on edge, and Nancy has a fight with one of her friends to due her deciding to side with the Confederacy.
Nancy Drew Girl Detective #5 Lights, Camera..., #6 Action!, and #7 Stolen Relic
In Nancy Drew Girl Detective #5, Lights, Camera..., a television movie is being filmed near River Heights. The movie tells the story of the Great River Heist by the Rackham Gang, a heist which gave River Heights its name. Someone is out to sabotage the film, and if the sabotage continues, then production may have to stop. Nancy is asked to investigate.
This story has too much sabotage. The book is overall interesting, but one event of sabotage after another continues to happen, chapter after chapter. It's the same thing over and over again.
I dislike the title of the book, as well as the title of the following book.
In Nancy Drew Girl Detective #6, Action!, Nancy has agreed to play a role in a film being made in River Heights. Unfortunately, Nancy has a severe case of stage fright and is convinced that she is awful, even though everyone else says that she is perfect. Nancy also has a minor mystery to solve, and quite unexpectedly, she solves the mystery of the Great River Heist.
I was beginning to get bored by page 24. Nancy is extremely worried about screwing up her part in the movie. Nancy was not nearly this worried in the previous book, so the worry seems quite unnatural. About all that develops in the first 24 pages is worry and more worry by Nancy Drew. There is no sign of a mystery. In fact, this story doesn't have much of a mystery at all. In the end, Nancy solves the Great River Heist, but that happens only by accident.
In Nancy Drew Girl Detective #7, The Stolen Relic, Nancy, Bess, George, and Ned travel to Utah on a vacation. Soon after their arrival, a tour guide mysteriously disappears.
This book reads exactly like a Nancy Drew Digest book that was changed to first-person. It doesn't have the same feel as the first six books. I strongly suspect that this story was a Nancy Drew Digest book that was never published.
First, Nancy is not a klutz in this book. It's like she's back to the old Nancy Drew of the Digest series. Furthermore, the word "fudged" appears on page 105. This word shows up in the higher-numbered Nancy Drew Digest books, and I had not spotted it in a Girl Detective book until reading this book. Finally, not a single one of the new River Heights Girl Detective characters are mentioned in this book.
The question and answer session with the villain was too long and detailed for my taste. By then, I wanted the book to be over and felt like closing it and continuing to the next one. I forced myself to finish, but I truly didn't care any longer.
This book comes across as an average higher-numbered Nancy Drew Digest book.
Nancy Drew Girl Detective #2 Race Against Time, #3 False Notes, and #4 High Risk
In Nancy Drew Girl Detective #2, A Race Against Time, Nancy, Bess, George, and Ned participate in a charity bike race. Nancy's archenemy, Deirdre Shannon, is also racing. Soon after the race begins, Nancy's team is sabotaged by Deirdre's team. Nancy then drops out of the race after she learns that the money raised has been stolen.
A location called Rocky Edge is mentioned a number of times. It's just a place near the river, but it should be noted that this name is the same name as the estate in Nancy Drew #19, The Quest of the Missing Map. Many of the Girl Detective books make references back to the original Nancy Drew Mystery Stories, so I doubt this is just a coincidence.
This book is very suspenseful, and I enjoyed it.
In Nancy Drew Girl Detective #3, False Notes, Nancy gets this crazy idea that Leslie Simmons, daughter of mayoral candidate Heather Simmons, is missing. She notices that Leslie's parents are acting strange, and Leslie's mother is running for mayor. Nancy assumes that Mrs. Simmons' opponent has abducted Leslie. Nancy devotes all of her time to hunting for Leslie.
This book is strange because Nancy comes up with this wild theory that involves a possible abduction. She has no evidence whatsoever, but off she goes. We already know that Nancy will end up correct, but Nancy appears to be pursuing a nonexistent mystery for nearly the entire book.
While I enjoyed the book, my enjoyment would have been enhanced if Nancy had a more solid mystery to solve. She seemed to be chasing around after nothing most of the time.
In Nancy Drew Girl Detective #4, High Risk, Nancy tries to save the home of Evaline Waters. Ms. Waters' home is to be torn down to make way for a factory, because she can't prove ownership. Evidence of the true ownership can be found in local historical documents, but someone has stolen the documents!
A subplot has Ned taking flying lessons, although he appears to be reluctant. Nancy is so enthused by Ned's lessons that she also takes flying lessons and soon has more practice than Ned. This causes Nancy to feel bad, worried that Ned will be angry with her.
While I don't have many comments about these three books, they fit in well with #1 Without a Trace and set up a nice continuity that I greatly enjoy.
After the Nancy Drew Digest series concluded with #175 Werewolf in a Winter Wonderland, Nancy Drew was relaunched in a new series, Nancy Drew Girl Detective. The Girl Detective series switched the voice from third-person narration to first-person narration, a first for Nancy Drew.
The Girl Detective series is not a continuation of the original Nancy Drew series, but rather, a new modernized Nancy Drew. I see Nancy Drew Girl Detective as Nancy Drew in a parallel universe. The books are a lot of fun so long as they are considered to be set in a parallel universe. To me, that is the key to enjoying the books.
In the Girl Detective series, Nancy Drew is absent-minded and often forgets to fill her car up with gas. She doesn't care whether her hair is brushed, and she often puts on mismatched clothing.
Nancy's best friends, Bess and George, still have their same basic qualities, except now George is the one who is a computer genius. George is still a tomboy, and Bess still loves clothes and flirts with every boy. Bess is now good at fixing things, such as car engines.
Ned is still Nancy's boyfriend, and he loves to read. He isn't that interested in mysteries, but he fully supports Nancy when she has a mystery to solve. Ned's father publishes the River Heights Bugle.
Nancy has a new rival, Deirdre Shannon. Deirdre was in Nancy's class in school, and Deirdre's father is a prominent attorney. Deirdre plays dirty tricks on Nancy and her friends all the time. It seems that Deirdre must have met Lettie Briggs of the Dana Girls series at some point in the past. She knows all of Lettie's moves.
The series sets up River Heights as a small town near Chicago. The town's history is fascinating, and the history comes into play in the stories. The town has its share of town characters, and they play roles in the mysteries. Among them are Harold Safer, a cheese shop owner; Charlie Adams, a tow truck driver; Mrs. Mahoney, a wealthy widow; Luther Eldridge, an expert on River Heights history; and Evaline Waters, a retired librarian. These characters appear in multiple books, and their presence sets up a nice continuity.
In Nancy Drew Girl Detective #1, Without a Trace, Nancy investigates the theft of a Fabergé egg while she tries to find out who trampled Mr. Safer's zucchini plants.
I found it quite jarring reading the opening chapters of this book after reading so many Nancy Drew books in third-person. After around 30 to 40 pages, the book completely captivated me. I can tell that they spent a lot of time working to make this an engaging book with lots of humor. The book is rich in description. River Heights really comes alive.
Back when this book was first published, I felt like I was the only Nancy Drew fan who did not think the zucchini subplot was stupid. The zucchini subplot didn't bother me years ago, and it doesn't bother me now. Nancy and her friends even poke fun at the zucchini case, and to me, the zucchini subplot is mainly present for comic relief. What's wrong with that?
Also, the zucchini subplot is not that different from the sort of mystery that Trixie Belden would solve. The Trixie Belden books have great descriptions of everyday life, and Trixie finds mystery even where there is not much of a mystery. I am thinking of the game preserve mystery in Trixie Belden and the Mystery Off Glen Road. That book is wonderful.
Sure, the plot is different for a Nancy Drew book, but it's a welcome change. I found it hard to slog through most of the last six Nancy Drew Digest books, and after I got into the first person dialogue, I enjoyed the changes brought by this book. This book is rich in characterization and description of everyday life, just like the Trixie Belden books.
This is not the Nancy Drew of #1-56 or even of #57-175. This is a new Nancy Drew.

15 things a mom should teach her boys | Sarai Henderson
March 3, 2012 June 6, 2016 / Sarai Henderson | Young Adult Author
I found this article the other day on pinterest about the things a mother should teach her sons before they move out of the house. I thought it was very informing and I will get started on this right away. Maybe I can teach my biggest boy (My husband) a few things along the way, all though he’s done very well at most this stuff. 🙂

Reader in the Wilderness: If Only A Readathon and New Books on Tap
JoAnn February 7, 2016 at 10:34 AM
I haven't read Sebastian Faulks since Birdsong either, so will be curious to hear what you think. Safe travels!
Judith February 12, 2016 at 7:10 PM
So far very interesting. Faulks is definitely getting into The Depths with this novel, which suits me, especially because it touches on the topics of trauma and memory. But I'm only halfway through right now, as of Friday night.
Thank you for your safe travel wishes--they are most welcome.
(Diane) Bibliophile By the Sea February 7, 2016 at 7:27 PM
Looking forward to Faulks new book as well. Enjoy your time in Boston.
Judith thanks for recommending the Maynard book, I really enjoyed it and in many ways it made me think of my own younger days -- though I never slept with Saliger 😜😍😍😍 Here us a link to my review---
http://bibliophilebythesea.blogspot.com/2016/02/looking-back-chronicle-of-growing-up.html?m=1
Judith February 12, 2016 at 7:14 PM
I'm so glad you read Looking Back. I was rearranging my mass-market paperbacks and came across it while looking for another book. I do love the photo of her on the original cover. If you haven't seen it, you can google it.
I recall vividly when I read it that she captured my own feelings about growing up "then," and, I don't know if I've told you this, but I had the thought, "I wish I had written this book." | [

You are here: Home>Collections>ReligionTwilight of the GodsHenryk Skolimowski Aug 17, 2011, 12.00am ISTTags:Self(Twilight of the Gods (Getty…)German philosopher Friedrich Nietzsche, at the end of the 19th century, announced the twilight of the gods. Finally, he said: "God is dead," referring to the principal god of Abrahamic religions. From this time on, the Christian religion has been in a state of permanent crisis. Around the same time, the Hindu religion, supported by a cast of 33,000 gods and the living presence of Swami Vivekananda, was flourishing. The Indian subcontinent was then under British occupation.
Then India gained her liberation and freedom. However, 60 years later, the quest for material satisfaction remains paramount. But the feeling of inner emptiness is acute. Many younger people are now looking for liberation in a new form of spirituality that is individual and free of religious constraints. Are the thousands of gods who have been helping Hindu people, no longer willing to help? Or are they unable to help? Might it not be the case, per chance, that these gods are no longer relevant? After having been around for thousands of years, maybe the gods have gently retired, unable to understand the world run by computers. Perhaps gadgets have replaced the gods swiftly and adroitly—and we are rather embarrassed to admit it. One way or another, we are in an altogether new situation, in which traditional religions—East and West—appear to be worn out, shabby and irrelevant. Hindu people, for instance, are experiencing the "twilight of gods" just now. Perhaps Nietzsche was right, after all. He saw the coming crisis of religions much sooner than most of us did. The Hindu religion was quite oblivious of this coming crisis. It was too intoxicated with its own perfume to be able to pay any attention to the mad prophet philosopher from Germany. But now the Hindu people are exposed to another kind of perfume, or shall we say they are exposed to the noxious fumes of Western progress, accompanied by an increasing craziness of their individual lives. The old world charm of gods no longer holds or helps. The new gods are Mechanos and Electronos combined. Yes, there is another part of the unholy trinity: Mammon. Now you have an answer as to why the old religions have been waning and sliding. Perhaps they have been doing so for some centuries. But nobody wanted to notice it. 'Who, us, declining? Never! We are the oldest religion in the world!' Such has been the unspoken response to any criticism of traditional Hindu religion. But everything evolves and changes; disintegrates and renews itself—sometimes in quite radical forms. You have to look at the situation from high above, from the position of the Ultimate Light. If you take this perspective, then you can see that the period of patriarchy is coming to an end; and with it the period of patriarchal religions; and with it the reign of Brahmins and priests. We are at the dawn of a new era of Light. It is precisely this new liberation, unfettered and unbound by traditional religion, that is sought after by those who opt for open spirituality instead of a closed religion. You have to be strong to do that. To follow directions is easy. To be your own master and to follow your own Light is difficult. But you are not alone. The Big Light is with you. Identify with the Light, which predates all religions, and you will see that the New Light will prevail ... because it must.

How to be a (retired) Housewife: My Frugal Mailbox
My Frugal Mailbox
Now that I'm making an effort to take advantage of "freebies" and samples, going to the mail box every day is turning into an adventure. Just look what yesterday's mailbox brought me.
The book, The Pursuit of Happyness, is one I received in exchange for my listing books on PaperBackSwap.com. What a great way to get books to read at my leisure this summer! The Food & Family magazine is packed with great recipes for summer. It's a really great FREE magazine, and includes many coupons for Kraft foods. You can sign up for it here. The Kroger book has some great $1 and $2 coupons. An Icy Hot Patch - just in time to help my back through more weeding! Oh, and the $700+ refund check the government owed us. Last is the little tiny package in the bottom right hand corner. This is what that little package contained:
Aren't they sweet?!? They are "tokens" -- A Wish Token and a Guardian Angel token, from the Inspire Company web site. If you check it out, be sure and check out Amy's blog while you're there. I fell in love with these tokens the second I saw them. One of the Guardian Angel tokens will be for Brayden's "treasure bag". The others will be squirreled away until just the right time -- probably to include as a little surprise with a note or card to a friend. I may have to buy some more -- they would be so sweet to tie onto birthday or Christmas gift tags!
Here's a photo of Joey, the Killer Cat. Doesn't look like much of a killer here, does he? Jeff had the heating pad out for his back, and Joey discovered if he wiggled his way in backwards, he could share the heat!
I get that Kraft Food and Family magazine and I love it! Last month I made six of the recipes! This month so far I made the quesadilla's and they were yummy! Of course, I substitute store brands for all the Kraft stuff to save money!
I didn't get my government check yet :( Tag's SS# starts with 9 so we'll be last. Of course I've already spent it more ways than I can count!
Good Morning -- looks like you have been having a good mail time, instead of all the usual throw aways. I loved the Inspiration site, thanks for passing it along. I stopped getting free samples through the mail because I found that I was getting way too much packaging with the sample and could not justify the waste. Maybe because the companies are jumping on the "green" bandwagon, I should try again. Many thanks again for your time to input all the good things and also for sharing your life with us readers.

MAKE MINE MYSTERY: Electrifying
The normal taser attachment can be seen hanging down below the barrel.
