Here's what you need:
- 2 cups of old fashioned oats
- 1/2 cup coarsely chopped nuts (I used almonds , walnuts, and cashews)
- 1 cup raw sunflower seeds
- 1 tablespoon sesame seeds
- 1 tablespoon of chia seeds
- 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
- 4 tablespoons of pure maple syrup
- 1/4 cup dried cranberries or any other dried fruit of your choice *optional
- 1/4 cup dark chocolate chips *optional
- Parchment paper to line the cookie tray
**** You can add any kind of nut, seed, fruit, or chocolate you want!
Here's what you do:
1. Preheat the oven to 300°F. Toss the nuts, seeds, oats, and cinnamon, in a bowl to incorporate well.
2. Pour in the maple syrup and stir the mixture really well so that everything gets coated.
3. Spread the mixture on a baking sheet. Make sure it is not too thick- 1/2 an inch should be the thickest you should go so that everything roasts evenly.
4. Bake for 40 minutes stirring 2 to 3 times until the granola get nice and golden brown. You do not want your granola to have any moisture in it.
5. Remove from the oven and allow to cool. Add in the dried fruit and chocolate chips once cooled.

New Delhi, Nov 7 (IANS) To strengthen its social presence in India, British defence major BAE Systems Wednesday signed an agreement with Smile Foundation, an Indian NGO, to support the underprivileged in primary education and healthcare.
A company statement here said the long-term partnership with Smile Foundation will enable it to "support development programmes in the areas of primary education and healthcare in rural and urban communities across seven states of the country".
Smile Foundation has projects across 25 Indian states and an outreach to over 200,000 children, women and youth, it said.
"Through the partnership, BAE Systems has committed support to the educational mainstreaming of over 1,000 children aged between six and 16 years across seven rural and urban locations in six states nationally," the company said.
These states are Chhattisgarh, Haryana, Maharashtra, Odisha, Tamil Nadu and Uttar Pradesh.
Further, the firm will help establish and operate a purpose-built mobile medical unit called 'Smile on Wheels' equipped with the latest equipment, trained personnel and supplies to serve selected under-served population clusters of Bangalore.
In the first year of operations, the outreach of the mobile medical unit is estimated at over 20,000 people.

"We are delighted to join forces with Smile Foundation to establish a national footprint for our corporate responsibility programme in India," McCumiskey said.
"Employee volunteering is an integrated aspect of our commitment and we are looking forward to contribute our time and skills and work in the communities," he said.

"The long-term nature of our engagement with BAE Systems signals the company's focus on community investment and is a positive trend in corporate support to national priorities," Mishra added.

Ice cream making is uncharted territory for me- but now that summertime has rolled in I knew it would not be long before I gave it a try. Our good friends Cassity and Zach surprised us this year for Christmas with the ice cream bowl attachment for my Kitchen-aid, and we were beyond excited about it. Six months later, I finally pulled it out of my freezer and put it to good use. Of course, the week that I am on the detox and can not have one bite. Torture. I assure you though, it was tasted and loved by many- just not me.
Buttered Pecan Maple Ice Cream
Recipe by Epicurious, Makes 1 Quart
- 3/4 cup pecans
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
- 2 cups heavy cream
- 1/2 cup milk
- 3/4 cup pure maple syrup
- 1/8 teaspoon salt
- 3 large egg yolks
- 1/2 teaspoon maple extract
Coarsely chop pecans. In a skillet melt butter over moderate heat until foam subsides. Toast pecans in butter, stirring occasionally, until golden and fragrant, about 5 minutes, and sprinkle with salt to taste. Cool pecans and chill in a sealable plastic bag. Buttered pecans may be made 3 days ahead and chilled.
In a heavy saucepan bring cream, milk, maple syrup, and salt just to a boil, stirring occasionally. In a bowl beat yolks until smooth. Add hot cream mixture to yolks in a slow stream, whisking, and pour into pan. Cook custard over moderately low heat, stirring constantly, until a thermometer registers 170° F. Pour custard through a sieve into a clean bowl and cool. Stir in extract. Chill custard, its surface covered with plastic wrap, at least 3 hours, or until cold, and up to 1 day.
Follow the instructions specific to your ice cream maker- mine instructed me to slowly pour ice cream (still liquid at this point) into frozen bowl, as it was in "stir" mode, and to let stir about 20 minutes until desired texture is achieved. Transfer ice cream to a bowl and fold in chilled pecans. Transfer ice cream to an airtight container and put in freezer to harden. Ice cream may be made 1 week ahead.
I was so surprised at how simple this ice cream was to make. Last week guest jane Vicki posted an incredible bread pudding (that I DID taste, and it was delish) and I can only imagine the insane goodness that would come if you combined the two recipes!

Disney Developing Live-Action Cruella de Vil Film
Disney is continuing to develop live-action film adaptations of their classic animated films, now with the addition of Cuella de Vil. I'm sure you're all familiar with the character, but if you're not, she's the villain from 101 Dalmatians. This would be the second time the character would be brought to life for the big screen. Glenn Close played her in the live action 101 Dalmatians movie back in 1996, as well as the sequel which came out it 2000.
The new movie will be called Cruella, and the studio has hired Aline Brosh McKenna to write it. She recently worked on the live-action Cinderella movie being directed by Kenneth Branagh.
Disney is also developing another Alice in Wonderland film along with Maleficent. So this would be the second film that focuses on one of their villains. I love that Disney is developing movies based on their villains! Villains are more interesting anyway. Hopefully they end up doing a whole series of villain films!
There's no story information yet, but I imagine it will be a prequel to 101 Dalmatians.

Title: A Wish Come True
Author: Danielle Swinton
Rating: PG-13
Archive: Sure!
Feedback: Please!!!
Disclaimer: David and the Swintons were created by Brian W. Aldiss; Kubrick, Spielberg, Amblin Entertainment and DreamWorks own them; I just play with them. But Jennifer, Roxie, the teachers and students, and Monica Jr. are MINE.
Warning: Alternative Universe, own characters, light sex (only in chapter 5, but hey, don't jump up to that chapter! Read the 4 first ones to understand the story!)
Notes: This is a new version of the story, I changed some things and added some scenes to make it easier to understand.
Summary: What might have happened if the Blue Fairy had become true David's wish?
Tagline: A real boy grows up to be…a real man.
*Chapter 1: Prologue*"Oh please, Blue Fairy… please make me a real live boy…"
David's blue eyes were staring at the Blue Fairy statue that was in front of him. And he kept praying…
"Blue Fairy, please… make me real"
Suddenly, the Blue Fairy's eyes had a white light and her hand moved, lightened by a blue light… and she touched David's forehead. David closed his eyes, falling asleep…
When David woke up, he was beside the Cybertronics statue, from where he jumped to the water some hours before. Somehow, the amphibicopter could reach the surface and take him there. He opened his eyes and he saw a young slender woman, all dressed in blue, who was smiling at him…
"Blue Fairy?" he asked, surprised "What happened? Why am I here?"
"David, due to your pure heart, your wish came true" the Blue Fairy said softly "Dearest David, I want you to be happy, so you must go back with the people you love…" she added, and she disappeared in the sky.
David realized what had happened to him, and felt some tears fall from his eyes…that's how he knew he was no longer a Mecha. Now he was a real boy… a human with a heart full of love…
"Thank you, Blue Fairy" David whispered, still with tears in his eyes "Thank you so much…"
Author's Note: Okay, this is a prologue to my story, hope you like it! What will happen now that David is a real boy? Read next chapter, and leave a review, please!

Descript Goat & Sheep Breeds of India :
Sheep and goats are important species of livestock for India. They contribute greatly to the agrarian economy, especially in areas where crop and dairy farming are not economical, and play an important role in the livelihood of a large proportion of small and marginal farmers and landless labours. The productivity of Indian sheep and goats is low, yet considering the nutritional and physical environmental conditions under which they are reared, it cannot be considered inefficient.Major reasons for this low productivity are inadequate grazing resources, disease problems and serious lack of organized efforts for genetic improvement.Sheep and goat mortality is quite high. Due to bacterial and viral diseases, pneumonia in various forms (particularly pulmonary adenomatosis), sheep-pox, enterotoxaemia and anthrax in sheep, and pneumonia, clostridial diseases and lumbar paralysis in goats are common and result in high mortality. Internal and, to some extent, external parasites also cause large morbidity and economic loss. To overcome this issue now a days stall fed livestock farms plays a vital role in improving the productivity of animals under disease free zone, in such case the mortality of the animal can be lowered to some extent by proper medications. So under stall feeding systems both contagious & non contagious diseases can be easily diagonised & controlled by proper monitoring & medications at the appropriate timings.
Breeds of India :
India's vast genetic resources in sheep and goats are reflected by the availability of 40 breeds of sheep and 20 breeds of goats. In the strict sense, there are no specific breeds, since the majority of them do not have specified defined characters. Neither are there breeding societies or agencies to register animals of particular breeds, maintain flock books and ensure the purity of the breed. A population of sheep or goats in a given locality, with characters distinct from other populations in the vicinity and with a distinct local name, has usually been considered as a breed. There has been little effort to conserve and further improve the native breeds. At a few Central and State Government farms, some important breeds of sheep and goats are maintained for pure breeding and producing stud rams for distribution to the farmers. Most of the breeds of sheep and goats in India have evolved naturally through adaptation to agro-ecological conditions to a limited extent there has been artificial selection for specific needs. These breeds have generally been named after their place of origin or on the basis of prominent characteristics. Most of the breeds of sheep and goats are very well adapted to the harsh climate, long migration, and lack of vegetation and drinking water. A large proportion of sheep and goats (more particularly the latter) are of nondescript or mixed breeds. here has been a very great amount of inter-mixture among indigenous breeds. Crossing with exotic breeds has also been undertaken in order to upgrade the local breeds and to develop new ones, but no serious consideration inferior breeds with superior breeds, especially Jamnapari, Beetal, sirohi, talacherry,osmanabadi,boer,kodi etc….

The Gelston House, also located on the Goodspeed campus, will offer Festival Cabarets the first two evenings. These events present songs of new artists. Other goings-on at the Gelston House include seminars, the Festival dinner, and a Meet the Writers Reception.

Hi guys, I've been writing my CV from scratch the last couple of days, playing with different parts etc.. At the moment im struggling with the work experience section. I've been "in" IT for just over 2 years now, and as its only a small company (70 users), I pretty much run the show as far as the servers, workstations, networking, phones, printers etc go. I've worked with most the of the usual stuff like Server 2003, XP, SQL 2005, Exchange 2003 etc etc.. How would I put this down? I mean I've never really seen a IT specific CV, and can only guess about how its normally done. Is it standard practice to write a little about the setup etc? and then what experience I've gained from the position? Also before the current position, I was just a regular employee at the same company, should I stick that down as well? Sorry if it seems like a silly question, havent used a CV since school. Thanks

Surya Namaskar translates from Sanskrit to English as a "salute to the sun." That's why it's popularly known in the West as "Sun Salutation."
The origin of this important yoga practice lies deep within the Indian tradition, where a large population of the Hindu people worship Surya, the Sun God.
The version of Surya Namaskar we practice today was introduced in the early 1900s by "The Father of Modern Age Yoga," Sri. T. Krishnamacharya. However, the intention of the practice remains the same…to honour the sun and all life on earth.

- Helps you get back into and appreciate the present moment.
- Induces deep, rhythmic breathing.
- Alleviates fatigue and makes your mind more alert.
- Enhances the body's energy level by activating the Pingala Nadi and the Manipura Chakra.
- Improves blood circulation to help maintain overall health.
- An ideal practice for stretching the muscles, loosening up the joints, and increasing flexibility.
- Increases overall physical strength and can improve cardiovascular conditioning.
"Mushin" is a Japanese word. The English translation is "no mind." A Zen expression shortens the term "mushin" to "no shin,"
which means the mind without mind. "No shin" is also referred to as a state of no-mindedness.

Getting firsthand information from an actual car owner is one sure way to get an idea of car performance once it leaves the lot. Autobytel features real consumer reviews that give the unbiased experience of a car.
Pros: The Quattro all wheel drive.
Cons: Some Turbo lag until you learn to launch properly.
Advice: Buy it. You'll never regret it!I've driven a few sports cars before, but nothing has compared to my TT. I belong to several car clubs and often Autocross my Audi on local race tracks. I've brought home several trophy's to validate my enthusiastic appraisal. I am looking forward to test driving the new 3.2 with the DSG. I may have to trade up.
Pros: 4 doors
Cons: stock tires
Advice: drive it and run circles around bmws in the raindrive it, drive it then drive it with it loaded with passengers. Maybe I'm spoiled by power always wanting more. Just wanted something different than a m3. If you keep count, compare which one you mostly see more,
Pros: transmission
Cons: ride stiffness
Advice: enjoyhauls. wonderful tranny--best of auto and manual.
Pros: Boost (turbo)
Cons: nothing (so far)
Advice: Drive one and see if it is for youThe power and handling of this car is phenomenal. Way fun to drive. First drive was on the Interstate, when you need to pass just apply throttle and get over quickly as the turbo spools up it PULLS hard. Passing 6 to 7 cars in the time it used to take to pass 2. On the twistie roads it handles great there is slight understeer but if you lift your right foot just a little it will correct.
Pros: Allwheel Drive!
Cons: Black is hard to keep clean. (But looks great when it is!)
Advice: Spoil yourself and get the bigger tires and wheels, the heated seats, the Xenon headlights and the Bose sound system.I drove the Boxter and the 350Z I did not consider the Honda S2000 because I am 6'1' and I did not fit. I bought the 225 Quattro TT with the six speed and 18' wheels and Bose sound system. I am 100% happy with my purchase. The allweel drive will amaze you. It handles better than the Boxter. The Boxter handled good but it would bite you if you did not do it right. The TT hads no bad traits. The boxter and the 350Z Might be a little faster buy the numbers but I think this comes mainly from the Launch. It is a little hard to get the car going from a standing start. Once you get the revs up it is as fast as either of the other two. And the looks are Awesome. The interior is amasingly functional. I have never owned a car that makes me stand out in the rain with the garage door open and just stare at it. This car does!!! If you are looking at sports cars you can't go wrong with the TT.
Pros: Classy, well-constructed interiors, sharp handling, precise steering, all-wheel drive, high quality Bose sound system, sexy looking
Cons: confusing interior controls, underpower, roadster's hefty curb weight limits handling, in coupe form useless backseat.
Advice: Though better suited as a weekend warrior than a daily driver, the TT is for those who suffer from expensive euro sport car burnout.The power steering is quick, although it feels spongy near the on-center steering wheel position. Handling is sharp, but the brake pedal needs a more linear action and not be rubber. The ride is firm but supple, although some pavement and speed bumps causes it to jiggle largely due to the TT having a short wheelbase. Also while driving I noticed he TT has many Blind Spots. There's good room for two tall adults up front. Although the Audi TT never ceazes to amuze me I went ahead and put my order in for the 2004 Porsche Boxster S, Its is just better in every way. Performance, 260HP; 229LBS.TQ, 0-60 5.1sec; 1/4 mile firstname.lastname@example.com; top speed 267mph; Cargo Space, 2 trunks making a total of 99.6 cubic feet of cargo space. Looks better and it's a Porsche.
Pros: Acceleration, quattro sys, interior and looks
Cons: engine heating and exterior noise
Advice: Take a test drive and you must use it only as a weekend car, its too sensitive.It was tough deciding what vehicle to purchase at first but at the end i went for the TT. The interior is made of really high quality stuff unlike other cars wich have those very plastiky interiors, the engine and trans are nice & smooth but shifting can be tricky. problem I have faced were that the engine's heat can increase when idle I talked to the agent and he said that this is normal because of the turbo, the other problem was that when I went to the autowash some water was leaking inside! this should not have happened, the head lights had some vapor inside some of the time. Driving is really solid, steering response is the best Ive tried and the clutch is soft making it perfect for shifting. but the TT is a bit noisy on the road something that is not expected from AUDI. Overal it is a great car but I just wish that those problems did not occur.

Obama: Feel Free to Vote for the Other Guy… if You Want Your Kids to Die…
Filed Under Politics | 6 Comments
Ah, the time honored "for the children" rationale:
President Obama suggested this evening that the Republican governing agenda will lead to "poisoning our kids" with pollution.
"I believe that it is part of our solemn responsibility to future generations that we look after this planet; that we make sure our air is clean and our water is clean; that we're not poisoning our kids," Obama said at a campaign fundraiser tonight. That credo came as he explained that "the contrast between visions in this election could not be more stark, because I believe that America is stronger when we're looking for one another."
Obama's line evokes his Associated Press speech this week, when he said Republicans believe that if the government "let businesses pollute more and treat workers and consumers with impunity, that somehow we'd all be better off."
President "punished with a baby" expects me to believe he cares more about innocent lives than the other guy?
And what about poisoning our kids financially? The One doesn't seem to have a problem with that.

If Romney feels a need to respond he should just plow right through these kinds of remarks with something like "that's just a ridiculously insane remark and you know it." Or ask the hearers what they think about such a remark.
That or something like it puts the "ball of acceptance" back in the hearer's court. Force them to decide for themselves rather than feign neutrality.

Is the election next week?
Wow, Oblameo must really be desperate if his rhetoric is this inflammatory this early. By late October the Obamarx campaign will be photoshopping pictures of Romney tossing bundles of hundred dollar bills onto a campfire to make smores.

"that we make sure our air is clean and our water is clean; that we're not poisoning our kids,"
Yes, because cleaner air, green spaces and trains to nowhere mean so much more to an indentured SERVANT.
THAT'S what we need to be hammering on! Look how full circle we've come? My Great, Great GREAT grandfather came to this country as an indentured servant. Now 'I' am one too! Even though I hadn't been BORN yet when Obeyme decided the Constitution was too complicated for non-cronies?

High Street Through The Ages
Lifelong Victorian Village resident Lynda Mahaffey stays put during decades of change
September 2009 Issue

The history of the Short North for most people begins with the gentrification movement in the late '70s. But they would have to go back another 50 years to catch up with the memories of Lynda Mahaffey. Mahaffey, 83, was born and raised in the area at Eighth and High streets and has lived in the same Victorian Village home for 63 years, where she raised her daughter Gerri Spitzer.
Change swirled around her, but Mahaffey embraced it with grace and humor characterized by an infectious giggle. "You could always hear Lynda coming down the street before you saw her because she had this amazing laugh," said Melaine Mahaffey (no relation), whose late mother Eva was Lynda's longtime neighbor and friend.
Over the decades, Lynda has lived in a thriving working class community, a decaying urban slum and a Bohemian arts and entertainment district – all without leaving her address. Through the contrasting transformations, she continued to call Victorian Village home. "You have to go with the flow," Mahaffey said, "otherwise, you get lost."
Before freeways led to urban flight and the neighborhood's decline, Mahaffey recalled a High Street with a different vibrancy than it has today. Instead of galleries, boutiques, nightclubs and restaurants, the neighborhood's commercial strip was peppered with family-owned stores selling the necessities of daily living. "There were all kinds of stores here," she said. "I went to junior high school with a friend whose father owned a Chinese laundry at the corner of Highland and Fifth. There was a five-and-dime at Russell and High and a small grocery store at Second and High. We didn't have the big supermarkets. I suppose we had antique shops back then, but we called them used furniture stores."
As a young adult, Mahaffey dined at the Jai Lai, attended professional wrestling matches at Haft's Acre sports arena on Goodale and gambled at nearby hotels. "We used to play the numbers for a penny," Mahaffey said.
Specific names and dates escape her, but Ben Hayes, the legendary Columbus Citizen-Journal columnist who died in 1989, left a body of work that documented the area's landmarks and colorful characters during what Mahaffey called "the good old days" in the first half of the 20th century.
Retail sold everything from "davenports to can lids, wheelbarrows to pianos," Hayes wrote. Louie "Right Arm" Casbarro ran a poker game at Goodale and High. Hayes described Goodale Avenue from High to Park streets as the city's "true urban block." He continued: "The corner at High was a main transfer point for streetcars. Trolleys were noisy. Even then the sidewalks looked worn."
Named for its view of Goodale Park, the Park Hotel was built in 1876. It stood until "the innerbelt smashed through the site." The hotel housed a bank, a restaurant called Fat Sam's (bustling at 3 a.m.) and a newsstand that sold Cuban cigars, according to Hayes. It was imbedded four steps into the ground and "the High Street buildings north of the hotel were uniformly three stories high." Hundreds of families lived "above street level," Hayes observed.
True enough, Mahaffey said. She cast a wistful gaze through her living room window to the rehabbed residences across her street. "Those used to be rooming houses and the families who lived there were just uprooted," she said sadly. Such is the price of progress. "Sometimes, I'm not sure whether it is good or bad, but I suppose it has all been for the better," she said.
Mahaffey was especially fond of the legendary Jai Lai, which began where the I-670 cap is now, before the restaurant moved to Olentangy River Road and became a regular haunt for Ohio State University football coach Woody Hayes. "The Jai Lai was just wonderful when it was down here," she said. "It had white tablecloths, the big bar and water tanks filled with fish. It just wasn't the same after it moved," Mahaffey said.
Wrestling at Haft's Acre was a favorite entertainment for her mother – Gladys Shelby – and other locals. "You couldn't convince them that it was all a put-on," Mahaffey said.
Mahaffey lived with her mother among an ethnic mix of residents, many who labored at nearby plants such as Jeffrey Manufacturing and Timkin Company. "We were all just poor people trying to make a living and raise our families," Mahaffey said. "We all went to school and church together."
Even during the down times, in the '50s and '60s, when crime and decay infested the area, Mahaffey stayed put. "You could tell it was starting to go downhill, but I never saw it as a slum," she said. "I always felt safe walking in the neighborhood, but maybe I just wasn't in the places where crime was happening."
Mahaffey worked for 10 years at Mills Cafeteria and retired in 1992 after 41 years at Byers car dealership. She helped sell and service cars, but never owned one. "I took lessons for a quarter and passed my driver's test, but every time I got into a car I just froze. Driving is the one thing in my life I failed to accomplish." She was more than happy to ride the streetcar and later the bus to work. Yet she doesn't see the need for streetcars today, a revitalization vision of Mayor Michael Coleman. "The bus service is just wonderful," she said. "I can walk a half a block and take a bus to Tuttle Mall. I can take a bus to everywhere I want to go."
When the neighborhood was reborn into an urban renewal jewel and acquired the name the Short North, Mahaffey said, "Who knew?" Despite the pain of displacement for some, she loves what her community has become. "People are owning their homes instead of renting them, so they are fixing them up and taking better care of them," she said. "The Short North, we never called it that. It was always just High Street to me. But I love walking down there now and just looking through the shop windows."
After she retired from Byers, Mahaffey became an active community volunteer, working for the Victorian Village home tour, the Neighborhood Health Centers and the Second and Summit Senior Citizens Center. She served as a judge for the Doo Dah parade, one of her favorite events. "I think it is just wonderful," she said. "Why shouldn't we have something like that?"
Longtime community activist Pat Lewis described Mahaffey as a "neighborhood institution." Said Lewis: "She is a real worker bee, not the type of person interested in taking on the responsibility for organizing an event, but someone who is always willing to help." Added Melaine Mahaffey, owner of Mary Catherine's Antiques: "She's done a lot for this community, but never received much recognition."
Mahaffey keeps a calendar on her coffee table filled with daily appointments In addition to her volunteer work, she is active in quilting and other crafts clubs. A workshop in her house is cluttered with projects engulfing a sewing machine. "Several years ago we had to buy her a cell phone just to keep up with her," said her daughter, Gerri, who lives in Upper Arlington with her husband Lee. "If you want to get on her calendar, you need to give her a month's notice." Mahaffey is especially proud of her granddaughter Heather, a schoolteacher in Kentucky.
Mahaffey's easy acceptance of change has included social and cultural upheavals. A neighbor recently felt obligated to inform Mahaffey that he was gay. There was no need for his coming out to her. "Gay people? I love them. I really do," Mahaffey said. "I have so many gay and lesbian friends that I don't even look at them as gay or lesbian."
Mahaffey eagerly anticipates more changes in the future. "I have 17 years until I hit 100," she said, "I wonder what the neighborhood is going to look like then."

This application is a continuation of application Ser. No. 07/952,919, filed Sep. 28, 1992, now abandoned.
1. Field of the Invention
The present invention relates to a computer-assisted method for making a presentation drawn from a plurality of visual media. More particularly, this invention pertains to such a method that permits user/machine interaction in the design and programming of a multi-media presentation and user/machine/audience interaction in its delivery.
2. Description of the Prior Art
The presentation of information is an essential educational and persuasive function of commerce. The prepared or formal narrated audio-visual presentation is a ubiquitous adjunct of modern-day sales of both goods and services and the development of this hybrid of technology and psychology continues unabated, seeking and finding new applications on a more or less continual basis.
Generally, audio-visual presentations have been limited to text and images; that is, stills, graphs and the like. This is in recognition of the fact that some information is mote usefully presented in at least a partially visual manner. Systems for making such presentations include the overhead projector, the television monitor, the slide projector and related technologies.
A primary use of audio-visual information presentation is advocacy. While the use of visual media can provide dramatic effects, command of the viewer's attention is a constant preoccupation of a presenter. For this reason, audio-visual presentations should be as unencumbered as possible with technology-imposed pauses or "breaks" that can cause a viewer to become fatigued thereby limiting his attention span. Also, even a "smooth" presentation, if poorly designed, may lose the audience's attention through internal aesthetic illogic and/or incompatibility with the dynamic "mood" of the audience. Thus, in both the creation and delivery of an effective presentation, the speaker or advocate should possess maximum flexibility of action. Computer-assisted systems frequently provide additional tools but fail to permit the user to address important audience psychology issues.
It is therefore an object of the present invention to provide a computer-assisted method and associated apparatus for designing and displaying a multi-media visual presentation that provides the user with the flexibility to review throughout both processes so that the eventual presentation is capable of capturing and holding the audience's attention.
It is another object of this invention to provide a method and apparatus that achieves the preceding object by interactive techniques.
It is yet another object of this invention to achieve the above-listed object by means of a computerized scheme that permits the amplification editing of both presentation frames and script throughout.
The preceding and other objects are achieved by the invention which provides, in a first aspect, a method for presenting a multi-media plurality of visual elements. The method is begun by assigning a unique index to each of the elements and loading each element by such index into a predetermined input device. The input devices are addressed so that selected elements are displayed. A select/reject decision is then made with respect to the displayed elements and the process is repeated until a frame comprising at least one visual element is completed. The frame is then stored in a script buffer and the process is repeated until a plurality of frames constituting a presentation is accumulated in the buffer.
A predetermined frame is then selected and displayed in a selected format. This process is repeated until the presentation is finished.
In a second aspect, the invention provides apparatus for presenting a multi-media plurality of visual elements. Such apparatus includes means for assigning a unique index to each of the elements. A plurality of input devices is provided as is means for loading each of the elements into preselected ones of the input devices.
Means are provided for addressing the input devices so that selected elements are recalled and for displaying the recalled elements. Means are additionally provided for making a select/reject decision with respect to each of the displayed elements so that at least one frame comprising a plurality of elements is formed.
Means are additionally provided for storing the frames and for recalling predetermined ones thereof. Finally, means are provided for displaying the frames in a preselected format.
The foregoing and other features and advantages of the invention will become apparent from the detailed description that follows. Such description is accompanied and illustrated by a set of drawing figures. Numerals of the drawings, corresponding to those of the written description, point to the features of the invention. Like numerals refer to like features throughout both the written description and the drawing figures.
FIG. 1 illustrates an application of the present invention to courtroom advocacy;
FIG. 2 is a schematic block diagram of the subsystem for constructing a presentation in accordance with the method of the invention;
FIG. 3 is a schematic block diagram of the subsystem for delivering a presentation in accordance with the method of the invention;
FIG. 4 is a flow diagram of the process for constructing a presentations and
FIG. 5 is a block diagram of the process for delivering a presentation in accordance with the invention.
Turning to the drawings, FIG. 1 illustrates an application of the present invention to courtroom advocacy. As shown and discussed below, the method is adapted in the arrangement of FIG. 1 to enhance the effective presentation of documentary evidence to a judge 10 and/or other trier of fact such as a jury (not shown) who may view it on a conveniently-positioned CRT-type display 12. A second display device 14, associated CPU 18, input device such as a keyboard 20 and a switching panel 21 for "previewing" purposes (discussed below) are located at the command table of an attorney/user 16. Also illustrated in the figure as an additional system option and capability arc a large screen video projector 23 and a courtroom mounted television camera 25. The large screen projector 23 may be particularly useful for the presentation of video evidence to a jury (not shown) while the camera 25, which may comprise part of either a super VGA digital (for display on a computer-type screen) or an analog (for display on a CRT type screen) system may be usefully employed in a courtroom setting as the system described below can be readily extended to support real time video applications such as the taping of witness testimony (on the stand) and for telecommunications. The extension of the invention to such real time video applications readily follows, and will be apparent from the structure of the system as described below.
Returning to the "base" configuration, the CPU 18 (which includes memory) is electronically and functionally coupled to the display 12 of the judge 10 and to a third display 22 located at the counsel table of the opposing attorney 24. Neither the opposing attorney 24 nor the judge 10 has access to the input keyboard 20 and, thus, neither can control the images that appear on their "passive" displays. Furthermore, the switching panel 21 permits the attorney/use 16 to selectively "blank" both the court's and the opposing counsel's display screens.
An examining attorney 26 can control the timing of the sequence of frames forming the presentation by means of a hand-held "mouse" or "clicker" 28. Alternatively, the sequence may be controlled by the attorney/user 16 through manipulation of the keyboard 20 or other input device. The sequence of frames forming a presentation may be selected by any number of criteria. Such criteria will often depend upon the type of application. In a courtroom setting, for example, the frame sequence and timing may be dictated by the order in which the examining counsel 26 plans to present documents 30 to a witness 32. (Alternatively, the witness might be provided with a separate passive display device.) This will give attorneys, witnesses and the trier of fact the benefit of numerous clarifying visual effects. Variations and mixtures of such courtroom arrangements are, of course, possible. For example, each attorney and witness can be provided with both a display and a hard copy of all documentary evidence with the exception of evidence, such as motion video, that is inappropriate for presentation via hard copy. Local evidentiary rules and constraints, along with the parties' stipulations, will dictate acceptable system and method variations. Non-courtroom presentations, whether of legal documents or otherwise, will call for other criteria.
While the system as illustrated in FIG. 1 is integrated into a courtroom setting, it will be appreciated from the discussion that follows that it may be readily adapted to any type of presentation, providing the benefits of computer-assisted user/machine/audience interaction to numerous applications of the technology. General business presentations will oftentimes benefit from the resulting ease of observation of a cohesive and well-coordinated custom designed and displayed presentation in accordance with the methods disclosed herein.
FIG. 2 is a block schematic diagram that illustrates the main elements of the subsystem for constructing a presentation in accordance with the method of the present invention. A conventional, preferably manually operable, index/coding means 33 is provided for assigning a unique "index number" identification to each visual element. The index/coding means is operationally engaged to various devices for storing "candidate" visual elements for possible inclusion in the attorney's presentation. As shown in the figure, these include, but are not limited to, a video storage means 35 such as a laser disk for storage of video and still elements and camera/real time video input device 25. ,and a document storage means 37 such as an optical disk.
Once the elements stored in means 35 and 37 have been assigned index number they become addressable by those index numbers for input to the presentation system. Various conventional input devices are provided for retrieval of the prepared and indexed visual effects by index number. Representative input devices include a laser disk player 34 for still and motion video images and an optical disk player 36 for documents, each of which is coupled to the appropriate storage means. Other known arrangements are, of course, possible. For example, a VHS recorder can he employed for storage of motion and still video information on a video tape medium while a magnetic disk player may be employed for retrieval of documents stored on magnetic disk.
A construction keyboard 38 permits the user to address the storage means 35 and 37 by index numbers to call up the desired images for eventual viewing on a conventional CRT display device 40. As can be seen, the screen 42 of the display device 40 is configured in a WINDOWS format whereby, by utilizing software of the type commercially available from Videologic, Inc., the index-addressed video images may be selectively displayed within desired WINDOWS sections.
While a default display format is provided, this default setting of the screen 42 may be overwritten to customize the design of the screen by commands provided through the keyboard 38. A dynamic buffer 44 accepts and stores the parameters that describe the design (whether default or customized) of the screen 42.
A script buffer 46 receives digital inputs from the construction keyboard 38 defining presentation "frames." Such data includes the index numbers of selected visual elements and the parameters that describe the design of the screen 42. Such data are entered into the script buffer 46 as the screen display is designed while, upon the entry of a "COMPLETE" or "END" command from the keyboard 38, a hard disk/script file 48 stores the plurality of design frames that comprise an entire presentation.
FIG. 3 is a schematic block diagram of the subsystem for delivering a presentation in accordance with the method of the invention. As shown in FIG. 1, displays 12, 14 and 22 are provided for the court, the user/attorney and the opposing attorney respectively. The keyboard 20 communicates with the CPU 18, thereby permitting the user/attorney to address the CPU 18. The hard disk or script file 48 that stores the plurality of custom-designed frames that define the presentation is coupled to the CPU 18 as are the input devices 34 and 36. As a result, the user/attorney may manipulate the presentation keyboard 20 so that selected presentation frames are recalled from the script file 48. The index numbers and parameters defining the design of the frame screens, may then be retrieved by the CPU 18 to actuate the input devices 34 and 36. As a result, the presentation frames may be viewed on the display devices 12, 14 and 22. The control switch 21, operable only by the user/attorney 16, permits him to control (i.e. blank or view) the screens of the display devices 12 and 22. This feature permits the user/attorney 16 to "preview" presentation frames prior to display, adding additional flexibility to the system.
FIG. 4 is a flow diagram of the process for constructing a presentation in accordance with the invention. This process is begun at step S-1 by the user addressing the various storage devices such as the video storage means 35 and the document storage means 37 by multi-media element index numbers to thereby specify the visual elements that he wishes to try in a frame that is to be part of the presentation. The elements are then input to the appropriate image players 34 and 36 and displayed on the screen 42 of the display device 40 as shown at step S-2.
The user, as he views the addressed visual elements in the default WINDOWS setting of the format of the screen 42 then determines at step S-3 whether the grouping of elements "makes sense" as a single presentation frame. Thus, he is continually given opportunities to test and the retest element grouping for suitability. In the event that he is not totally satisfied with the composition of a frame under construction, he may proceed to step S-4 and choose to add or delete visual elements from the frame under construction by manipulating the keyboard 38 to address the storage devices 35 and 37.
Upon determining that a grouping of presentation frame elements is satisfactory, the user proceeds to step S-5 to evaluate the adequacy of the screen design under the default setting in terms of such parameters as the number of elements displayed, their relative sizes and positions, the "zoom" level of each element and the timing of the display of the elements within the frame. In the event that he wishes to customize the format of the screen 42, this is done by addressing a display scrollbar that maybe call up (on the screen 42) through the construction keyboard 38. The desired modifications to the default settings of the screen 42 are entered into the display scrollbar at step S-6. After the appropriate modifications have been made, the user then proceeds to step S-7 where a CAPTURE command is entered through the construction keyboard 38 and the description of the frame, including both display parameters and element indices, is entered into the script buffer 46.
The user then proceeds to step S-8 where an evaluation is made of the completeness of the presentation. In the event that additional frames are required, he will return to step S-1, choosing the elements of the next frame by appropriate corresponding index numbers and then proceed through the above-described screen display design. When he is satisfied that a sufficient number of frames have been designed for the presentation, he then proceeds to step S-9 where the script may be rearranged in sequence. (The data defined in presentation frames is initially entered into the script buffer 46 sequentially by order of composition.) In the event that the user wishes to reorder the frames, he may redefine their order, rearranging the data within the script buffer 46 by entry of appropriate commands through the keyboard 38 at step S-10. Once a satisfactory order is arrived at, he then proceeds to step S-11 by entering a command through the keyboard 38 to cause the data within the script buffer 46 to be written to the hard disk 48 which acts as the script file. Thus, as shown, the user is provided with a systematic and interactive computer-assisted system for creating a custom made presentation of the various multi-media elements available for selection.
The delivery phase of the process may take place in a courtroom, a boardroom or any one of innumerable settings. The user is not limited to the designed script but rather possesses a substantial degree of flexibility during delivery. This may be particularly useful in a courtroom setting where one must be able to react to unexpected developments.
Referring to the flow diagram of FIG. 5, the delivery process is begun by the user/attorney 16 initializing the display screen at step D-1 and addressing the system to open the script file stored in the hard disk at step D-2. While a plurality of frames are stored onto the hard disk 48 and coded in accordance with a preferred presentation order, it is recognized that courtroom developments, for example, could dictate a different order. Thus, at step D-3 the user may address any frame within the script file by identification number. Further, as mentioned with reference to FIG. 3, the attorney/user 16 controls a switch 21 that controls the screens of the displays of the court and the opposing attorney. This permits frame previewing prior to display. With the screens of the court and the opposing counsel blanked by the switch 21, the user/attorney can display the selected frame at step D-4 on the screen of his courtroom display device 14. This allows some "last minute" rearrangement of the frame's design. At step D-5 the user may choose to alter some of the settings defining the display parameters by again calling up the display scrollbar and making the appropriate adjustments at step D-6.
Such adjustments may include selecting the number of elements displayed, selecting the sizes of the elements displayed, selecting the relative positions of the elements, selecting the zoom level of each of the elements, and/or selecting the timing of element displays.
Having made any desired modifications to the frame parameters, the user/attorney is still left with a choice as to whether the frame is to be presented to the court and to the opposing attorney. At step D-7 he may choose either to bypass presentation of the frame or may present it to the court and to the opposing attorney by changing the switch 21 at step D-8. After this decision has been made, the attorney/user seated at his counsel table next ascertains whether or not additional visual evidence, in the form of presentation frames, is to be shown at step D-9. In the event that the examination of a witness, for example, is complete, he may wish to terminate at this point. Of course, since it is possible to continue the previewing process without notice of the court or opposing counsel, he may proceed with portions of the aforesaid process even during argument or examination by the opposing attorney. For this purpose, the switch 21 is in activated at step D-10 to permit the attorney/user to continue to work without disrupting or confusing either the court or the opposing attorney. Of course, this permits the attorney/user to work without concern about the opposing attorney looking "over his shoulder."
In the event that the attorney/user decides to continue, he proceeds to step D-11 and chooses the next frame for previewing. In the event that he has decided to vary the delivery from the scripted presentation, he simply returns to step D-3, inputting the next desired frame number. In the event that he wishes to continue with the scripted presentation, he proceeds to step D-12, selecting the next frame of the presentation as stored in the script file of the hard disk 48.
By proceeding as above, it is seen that the user of the system is provided with additional "on the spot" flexibility that permits him to vary from the scripted order and, to a limited extent, re-customize each frame prior to display. Thus, while the interactive frame construction method of the prior figure provides the user with a great deal of flexibility in designing a presentation, the effect experienced by the viewing "audience" whether it be attorneys, a judge, jurors or, in other contexts, potential buyers, government officials or the like is not entirely outside his control after the construction process has occurred. Rather, one may readily adapt a carefully-design presentation to the changing circumstances. For example, questions may arise during a business presentation that would suggest some variance in the order of frame presentation. This can be seen to be easily accomplished by the method of the invention as described with reference to FIG. 5.
Thus it is seen that the present invention provides an improved method for presenting a plurality of multi-media elements. By employing the teachings of the invention, which may be directly adapted to many fields of endeavor including law, business, medicine, government or any medium in which advocacy is required or, for that matter, to fields such as education which do not necessary fall within the bounds of advocacy, the user is provided with a powerful tool that enables him to carefully design a presentation that will capture the audience's attention. Furthermore, one may "fine tune" the designed presentation at the moment it is viewed, providing another tool to maximize the effectiveness of a visual presentation.
Whereas the interactive presentation system (marketed under the trademark "IPS") disclosed herein includes numerous hardware components that, apart from the system, function in conventional manners well known in the art, when combined (and driven by appropriate software module that are also well known in the art), a unique system function design process of total interactive display is achieved. The basic system is readily amenable to useful extensions such as the real time video applications discussed above. This can be achieved by employing a PC VCR, controlled by the IPS software, that allows the re-recording of pre-scripted video, real time video, scripted documents, annotated documents and scripted presentation for re-review on standard VHS players.
While this invention has been presented in its presently preferred embodiment, it is not limited thereto. Rather, this invention is limited only insofar as defined by the following set of patent claims and includes within its scope all equivalents thereof.

Three people are in hospital after an early morning crash on the city's west side.
It happened just before 6 a.m. CST at the corner of Avenue W and 11th Street West. Police closed off 11th Street West at the scene for several hours.
The small, four-door red car clipped a power pole at the corner, and then bounced into the side of the metal-clad building.
There were no other vehicles involved.
The passengers' injuries are not life threatening.
The cause of the crash is still under investigation. The 20-year-old driver has been issued a 24-hour suspension.

I think more people need to be like that because with true friendships, you should be able to tell somebody hey, this is the way it is and if you don't like it, that's just the way [I feel]. You should still be able to be friends and stuff like that because I think when you're honest with people, you're trying to help them, a lot of people, when you're honest with them and stuff like that. I don't have anything to hold back. I shouldn't have to sugar coat anything because I'm afraid I'm going to offend somebody. I was with the company for so long and this is where I've been, this is what I've seen, this is what I've heard and this is my story.
I even say stuff about TNA in my book and certain people with the company and I wasn't worried about okay, do I want to get a job with TNA or not? Better not say this or whatever, or maybe I need to alter it to where it won't offend nobody down there. I didn't do that and they still called me, so I just think more people need to [be honest]. I don't know. That's just the way I am. I just want people to know, because with a lot of wrestling fans, I think I answered a lot of questions that they've always wondered. I may not have answered every question, but I think I answered a few questions to where people will go okay, okay, so that's how it works. Okay, okay, so that's why it's like this and so forth. It's not one of those books where I'm pissed off at the world and this and that and I'm going to write a book and I'm going to bury everybody. I talk about people. I talk about the good about, say I pick out Hunter. I talk good about him. There's a lot of good about him, but I also talk about how I feel about him and what I think. It's not like I have a tendency just to go bury people to bury them. I talk positives about people, but I also tell how I feel about somebody. People have been very, very happy with it. But the credit doesn't go to me, it goes to Ross Williams, the one who wrote the book. I just told him my story and he put the whole thing together and just did a great, great job.
Wrestling INC: It's been four and a half years now since you left WWE. Were you surprised after 15 years about your release?
Holly: It was a mutual thing because they didn't have anything for me. I had just come back from elbow surgery. I was ready to go back to work, but I wasn't ready to go back. So when Johnny [Laurinaitis] had called me we got to talking and stuff and I asked him, do the writers have anything for me? He said well, let me check, and I talk about this in my book too. He called me back like a week later and said well they don't have anything for you and I said Johnny, I'm not just coming back to work to sit around and put people over. Because nowadays, we're not making any money putting guys over. I said it's no fun. If I'm not going to be in a storyline, I just don't want to come back. He called me back and said well, they don't have anything for you so we're going to let you go. I said that's fine with me. So it was mutual thing. It was like they had called me, hey, we're going to let you go. It was like Johnny, do they have anything for me? He calls me back, no they don't so we'll let you go. And that's how it went.
Wrestling INC: At the end there, right before your last program, you were working with Cody Rhodes and Ted DiBiase. I know you were critical of DiBiase's recent release. What exactly made you speak out against that?

I use to listen to Tears for Fears as a high school teenager. It would drive my Mother nuts! I've always loved listening to their songs. I didn't know they had this 1 out. I will have to find it in a vintage store I guess. It would be nice for my collection.
Well, I suppose it depends on the style of music you like. Music is incredibly an incredibly subjective topic.
Tears for fears is a band well-known for it's depressing music. Some have claimed this is the saddest album ever made. I disagree. The term 'depressing' refers to something that makes one incressingly sad. This music, however is good for coping with sadness. Though relief is temporary, the first track 'the hurting' is quite interchangable for different causes of emotional issues, and provides a sense of being emotional aware of oneself.
The album is an emotional expression turned into rock with elements of pop (such as being able to dance to it). The artists did a very good job of creating this music. The album as a whole is far less depraved then many eighties bands who also tried to convey similar moods.
These reviews are the subjective opinions of ChickAdvisor members and not of ChickAdvisor Inc.

Bone grafting is where the jawbone is built up to accommodate a dental implant or other restorative device. Bone grafting is a common procedure that is used frequently for dental implants and other periodontal procedures. The bone used to graft is taken from a sample from the patient. Many times, the bone is taken from another area of the mouth when drilling takes place. The bone fragments are suctioned from the mouth and used for the graft. Cadaver bone fragments are also used. They are harvested by bone banks and are a very safe source for bone donation.

Notes From A Rodeo Photographer: Being a rodeo photographer isn't about just showing up with a nice camera or being able to edit photo's on your iPhone. Knowing the events and understanding the arena helps to capture the moments. Knowing the lighting helps make the shots "pop." Now from shooting from broad daylight in the Texas Panhandle to shooting at dusk with rain clouds building in the Southern Colorado Mountains, you have to understand how to light. Now I personally use Alien Bee from Paul C. Buff, because, well I can't afford anything else and I got mine cheap from another photographer Kent Kerschner the FotoCowboy. When I first started I shot with a first generation Canon Digital Rebel the 300D with kit lenses and a 75-300mm. Now I shoot with a Canon 6D with a Tamron 70-200mm f/2.8 which gives me better control and more depth of function. When you add quality equipment body, lenses and lights and work hard at your craft you should be able to capture good pictures that show the action of all athletes in the arena.

Govt to come out with a law to tackle piracy
Sea brigands still have 53 Indians in their custody.
New Delhi: With Somali pirates striking
at will in the Gulf of Eden, the government is working on a tough
law to deal with the problem of sea brigands who still have 53
Indians in their custody but ruled out negotiations with them.
Officials feel that there could be involvement of
remnants of al Qaeda and Somali group Al Shabab behind the
pirates who till today have not killed their hostages as
they only look for ransom from ship owners.
Right now it is the United Nations Convention on
the Law of Sea that defines piracy and there is a need to
adopt a domestic law on the subject, officials told the media
briefing today in which representatives of Ministries of
External Affairs and Shipping, Navy and Directorate General of
Shipping were present.
Officials said right now piracy is dealt with
under the provisions of Indian Penal Code and century-old
Amiralty law but the government would like to have a separate
law with provisions to effectively tackle the problem that
takes place far away from Indian shores.
At present countries try to invoke jurisdiction under
laws and customary international laws but the proposed
legislation would be more effective and stringent and in
harmony with international laws.
"Right now there is no definition of piracy in
Indian laws," the officials pointed out saying the legislation
will try to establish piracy as a crime and how to deal with
Against the backdrop of demand from families of
Indian sailors demanding government intervention in securing
their release from Somalian pirates, officials said nowhere in
the world government get into negotiations with sea brigands.
Such a course would raise the stakes and would amount
to falling in the hands of the pirates, who would be
encouraged further to take more hostages and to look for more

Value stocks are those stocks that tend to be trading at a much lower price for the moment than their intrinsic price. So in the long term, these stocks are going to increase in value. Warren Buffet is a famous value investor who looks for value stocks that are trading much lower than their intrinsic value. There are many value investing courses that teach how to pick perfect value stocks. You can watch the video below that give 8 rules for picking perfect value stocks.
It was Ben Graham who first introduced the idea of value investing and value stocks in his famous book, "The Intelligent Investor". Warren Buffet read this book in his early 20s and meticulously applied the idea of value stocks in his investing style. Value investing revolves around the idea of finding stocks that are being traded at a much lower price than their intrinsic price. Intrinsic price is the price determined by the fundamentals of the company. It is rather a subjective value. Two investors can come up with different intrinsic price. Warren Buffet has developed his own formula for calculating the intrinsic value of a stock that he uses to make his value investing decisions. He has not disclosed his formula publicly.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Strawberrie from Coke bottle I am 5'2 busty and hippy. Small belly pudge too. This dress was perfect! Material is good held my stomach in with no body shaper needed. And didn't feel too right like I was bursting out. Size XL. I felt so sexy! I am 32DD, 34 waist (not toned or tight), and 49 hips! Another plus was no panty lines! Didn't ride up either, stopped just above my knees.
