As I hope you can tell from reading this blog, I love to travel. It's simple really; I think there is nothing better in the world than traveling (actually food is up there pretty high)(and my family)(and my boyfriend)(oh, and friends too) (but you know what I mean!).
I've been very fortunate to have traveled so much this past year and by no means am planning to stop if an opportunity should arise, but I'm definitely ready to be a little more settled. I've had nothing to call my own this year except three suitcases filled with clothes, an overwhelming amount of paperback books and a bottle of mustard.
As romantic and adventurous as that may sound to some I'm about ready to invest in some day-to-day life stuff like a dining table, a coffee machine, a food processor, a comfortable pillow, a proper dream catcher, etc. The first step has been to finally figure out where that settling would happen and it's taking place in Melbourne, Australia. And I am filled to the brim with happiness and giggles! I am like a lost little girl are Toys R Us who doesn't know she's missing because she's having too much fun. Except that little girl is not lost at all, that little girls home is Toys R Us.
Don't get me wrong, I'm still living out of my suitcase right now but things are coming together. We've applied for a gorgeous, little apartment in Fitzroy
and haven't been turned down yet so that's good (just found out someone beat us out by offering more money). We've gotten an adorable Mickey Mouse poster, our first piece of art. You probably think that sounds childish and weird, but we politely ask you to, "please take another look and analyze. See?". We've also invested in a beautiful, old green chair; it was love at first that turned into a quick, impromptu marriage when I realized it was on sale.
Needless to say, this past year has been very on-the-go. I've tried to make time to share my experiences as much as possible, but am nowhere near finished! Because I still haven't told you about Shake Shack in NYC (the fact my old roommate still hasn't been drives me insane). I haven't mentioned the grilled cheese at Outerlands in San Francisco, or the breakfast at OB House in Fort Lauderdale, or the inspired bread pudding Oprah* suggested I have from the Ice Box on Lincoln Road, Miami. I also feel it is my duty to tell you about the success I had while cooking with my mom in South Florida this past month, mostly thanks to Jamie Oliver. Oh and the sea lions in Santa Cruz and The Abbey in Boston. And that's just my recent trip to the US. There are so many places to talk about from my summer in London and my birthday in Paris.
The exciting thing now is that while I want to take the time to reminisce, I also want to share all my findings back in Melbourne. I already have a list of places to visit I didn't even know existed when I was here last. And as I move into a more certain lifestyle I can finally invest in my kitchen and cook up the type of storms I'm only brave enough to cook in my mom's kitchen. My biggest cooking challenge now is planning and making a eatable Thanksgiving Feast because 1) it will be for people who have never celebrated Thanksgiving, and 2) because I don't trust ovens.
I will stop babbling now, I'm just super excited about the future as well as the past and I wanted to share where it was I am at the moment!

Arthur, yes pruning...or not pruning..... could be a cause. You prob bought your bushes as 2 or 3 year old plants making them 5 or 6 years old and ready for pruning. Bullfinches in winter another possible reason for lack of fruit
ideally, grow bushes on a short leg.......keeps bushes clean from fungal spores splashed from the soil. I remove all branches near the ground. I remove all very old wood, all inward growing wood and reduce all stems to a few buds to produce fruiting spurs. Late winter, January time, for me
for bullfinches stretch a fine net over the bushes supported by canes....use pots, cane tops or jars to stop netting slipping down the canes.
Hope this helps...It works for me
whilst cutting a delicious strawberry n cream tart my hand slipped and it resulted in a larger slice than I intended.
however, I don't think anyone noticed as the offending piece was removed ....and eaten by yours truly.....and the remaining pieces were re assembled in a slightly smaller circle. Thought this was quite clever
Hopefully, It should mean a share of the smaller tart for me too
anyone else had such a worrying mishap in the kitchen?
ok, only mid July but like it or not autumn is only a few weeks away. A few weeks away from the dreaded cranefly
in second half of August order nematodes to prevent leatherjackets destroying your lawn.
Gardening is all about individual experiences and often about opinion.....of course, mine is always correct
I spray/ water my acer diss. purp during hot and dry weather but never in direct overhead sun. I have experiented and sure in my own mind that foliage can be damaged by spraying in direct sun. I have noticed this too with hostas for example. Those minute droplets of water DO intensify the sun's rays.......as far as I am concerned
auntyRach......half and half? Let us know how it works out. However, one side will be facing,the sun and one not???
if in doubt don't do it. Where is the advantage?
My lawn is looking green still Busy........I water it occasionally but we get heavy overnjght mists from the sea too that helps. However, it's less than 150 sq yards so easier to keep green than your much larger space.
a respite from the sun right now.....not necessarily the heat though....as it has become misty. Sun returned as I write this.
Why thank you kindly Runny
praise again for the plant suppliers on Ebay
i was sent the wrong variety a few weeks back but did not know until it flowered this morning. An email to the supplier with photo, a prompt reply and applogy and I notice the replacement is already in the post.
Ebay was always a place to avoid for me but I have to say the various plant suppliers....usually the growers themselves.....have been excellent. Excellent quality plants and prompt dispatch
Worse thing to do, spray acers in hot sun.....THEY WILL SCORCH
I would drape a fleece over or erect a parasol
Reported on our local news that Bolventor is recording temp of 39 degrees.....39 degrees! 30 miles from here but, thankfully, slightly cooler here.
picking blackcurrants,,runner beans and tomatoes will be my only gardening today
Those "wonky" tree feens will prob adjust but, for me, they are best planted as one or 2. Turf seats? They will be good when watered and fed. Sit on when dry ...of course. The steel planters will outlast those made of wood
these progs are done on a tight budget and I'm not sure how much time there is for proper planning. The gardens are better, they provide a lot of landscqping for the garden owners to work on and improve on.
the happy faces though make these progs enjoyable.
Charlie's a thoroughly likeable hands-on presenter....she dug out the pool herself.

The holiday season is quickly approaching and one of the more popular items that people purchase for others is gift cards. Gift cards can be a wonderful item to receive if you're planning on buying something from that specific store. If you receive a gift card from a store you don't like or that you do not have a desire to purchase anything from what are you supposed to do with that gift card- Regift it? No. You can sell the balances on gift cards that you are not going to use online. It is a secondary market for gift cards. Most people do not think of gift cards as money, but they truly are and now you can actually get cash for their value.
There are a ton of sites out there in which you can big and sell gift cards. If you sell your gift card on one of these sites, then you can use that money to buy a discounted gift card from a retailer that you actually want to purchase items from. One of the websites where you can buy discounted gift cards and sell the remaining balance on your gift card is called Plasticjungle.com. This website has great deals on gift cards and a large number of retailers to choose from when purchasing discounted gift cards.
In order to sell your gift card on the majority of these sites you enter the retailer of the gift card you have and then the value of the balance on the card. You can get cash for the gift card value, which is usually 90% of the original value. By selling your gift card you are getting cash value for an item that you may have never used. Plasticjungle.com also gives you the option to trade your gift card for an Amazon.com gift card that will be valued at 94.5% of your original gift card value. This website is particularly popular because the prices are fixed. There is no bidding on the buying or selling transactions. Also, the website guarantees all transactions, has free shipping and allows you the option of choosing to donate your gift card directly to your favorite non-profit organization.
In order to buy gift cards on these websites, you search for the retailer you desire and look at the discounted rates. You choose the discount and the amount you want to purchase. Its similar to having a coupon, you will get a $50.00 gift card to a retailer at a price less than the face value of the card. Buying gift cards on these sites can be a great gift to give someone. You may want to give someone a gift card to a particular store or restaurant, but you do not have that store or restaurant in your neighborhood. By using these websites you have access to retailers and restaurants that are not near you. This can also be helpful if you are going on vacation and want to go to a particular restaurant; buy the discounted gift card online and enjoy a delicious meal on your trip. Some of the websites even allow you to swap cards with other users on the site. You can exchange your gift card for another of a retailer you truly want. Some of the sites even allow you to create a wish list for swapping. You can list the stores that you are willing you trade your gift card for. You can also combine multiple gift cards from different retailers and trade them for a single gift card of a different retailer for the same value as all 3 of your other cards. There is typically a small transaction fee on most sites when you swap gift cards.
Even if you use the gift card you receive to purchase one item from that retailer, you can still sell the balance on these websites. Why lose the value of the card, even if it is a low amount when you could sell it for cash. You may even like the retailer of the gift card you received, but you find yourself low on cash. Instead of buying something you may not need, you can turn your gift card into cash that you do need. This secondary market for gift cards will allow you to get the gifts you truly want this holiday season.

This application is a divisional application of, and claims priority from, U.S. application Ser. No. 10/635,419, filed Aug. 6, 2003, the contents of which are hereby incorporated in their entirety.
This disclosure relates, in general, to rhetorical content management systems and methods for their use.
Content management is useful for providing a consistent image through various content delivery methods. For example, content management may be useful in providing a consistent product description across multiple sales and marketing mediums such as websites, proposals, brochures, and other documents.
However, content management becomes a significant problem for large organizations having multiple products or product lines. A large amount of content is provided to a large number of users. These problems may be further exacerbated by variances in regional availability, market targeting, and the greater demand for content through large sales channels. Delivery of suitable content is often slow.
In addition, content creation is a significantly expensive process. Initial creation is expensive. After initial content creation, the content may not be suitable for various purposes. As such, expenses increase as content is manually adapted for various uses.
Some organizations rely on multiple content management systems. Each system is managed by a different section. As such, content is created more than once and varies between sections. Therefore, it is difficult to create content that is consistent and accurate.
For large entities with extensive product lines, content management becomes a large and expensive process. As such, an improved content management system would be desirable.
The present disclosure is directed generally to a content management system, a method of content management, a rhetorical content model, and automated methods of generating proposals and other documents based thereon.
In a particular illustrative embodiment, a method of managing content is disclosed. The method includes receiving a request from a content application for content associated with a content subject. The method also includes selectively retrieving a plurality of fields of a record stored at a database, wherein the record is associated with the content subject and wherein each of the plurality of fields includes a content segment. Further, the method includes converting each content segment to a first format associated with a first content application, where the first content application includes at least one of the content segments with content having a first technical level. The method also includes converting each content segment to a second format associated with a second content application, where the second content application includes at least one of the content segments with content having a second technical level that is greater in technical specificity than the first technical level.
In accordance with another particular embodiment, a content management system is disclosed and includes a content server configured to selectively retrieve at least one content segment of a plurality of content segments stored at a database communicating with the content server. The content server is configured to convert the at least one content segment to a first format and to provide a first data file that includes the at least one content segment to a first content application, wherein the first content application includes the content segment with content having a first technical level. The content server is configured to convert the at least one content segment to a second format and to provide a second data file that includes the at least one content segment to a second content application, where the second content application includes the content segment with content having a second technical level that is greater in technical specificity than the first technical level.
In accordance with another embodiment, a method of content management is disclosed and includes requesting at least one content segment associated with a content subject from a content server. The method also includes receiving at least one grammatical syntax element from the content server, wherein the content server selectively retrieves the at least one grammatical syntax element from a plurality of grammatical syntax elements stored at a database. Further, the method includes constructing first content related to the content subject, the first content including the at least one grammatical syntax element and a first marketing brand. The method also includes constructing second content related to the content subject, the second content including the at least one grammatical syntax element and a second marketing brand. The method also includes delivering the first content to the first content application and the second content to the second content application over the distributed network via a gateway application.
In accordance with another particular embodiment, a content management system is disclosed and includes an application server configured to communicate with a distributed network to receive requests associated with a content subject from a first content application and a second content application. The application server is configured to send requests to a content server for content segments associated with the content subject. The application server is configured to communicate with the content server to receive a tag-segmented data file, the tag-segmented data file including a plurality of content segments associated with the content subject. The application server is configured to selectively construct first content relating to the content subject, the first content including at least one of the plurality of content segments and a first marketing brand. The application server is configured to selectively construct second content relating to the content subject, the second content including at least one of the plurality of content segments and a second marketing brand. The application server is configured to deliver the first content to the first content application and the second content to the second content application over the distributed network via a gateway application.
The input tool 102 is used to gather content segments and store those segments in a database 104. The content segments may, for example, be sentence fragments, phrases, nouns, sentences, and paragraphs. In one exemplary embodiment, sentence fragments are entered, following a specific grammatical format that fulfills a specified rhetorical purpose. Using the rhetorical format, parts of a sentence may be gathered, stored and associated as fields in the content database 104. Rhetorical principles control the development of the syntax from the grammatical elements and drive the deployment of the content to the application based on the communication function that the write wants to achieve.
The database 104 may be a database such as an Oracle� or SQL database. The database 104 stores records or file references. Each record is associated with a content subject and may have multiple fields. The fields may contain sentence fragments, phrases, sentences, nouns, and paragraphs. This content data may be selectively used to construct content associated with the content subject.
The content server 106 is coupled to the database 104 and accesses the records associated with the content subjects. Applications such as product profiler 108, proposal builder 110, and e-brochure builder 112 access the content server 106, requesting content associated with a content subject. The content server 106 accesses the database 104 to selectively retrieve requested fields of the record associated with the requested content subject. The content server 106 may provide the content elements in various formats, including a data record set and an XML document.
The applications may construct content using the various formats or models. Some of the fields in the record may, for example, follow a rhetorical model. In this example, the model utilizes sentence elements having a specific grammatical form designed to meet a particular rhetorical or communication function. The sentence elements or grammatical syntax rules may be used to construct a sentence. In one exemplary embodiment, the rhetorical model may be used to form a sentence having three elements, a product name, product class, and product description as shown below. The rhetorical/communication function this grammatical contruct is designed to achieve is DEFINE.
<<Product name>> is a <<product class>> that <<product description>>.
To produce a grammatically correct sentence, the elements follow specific grammatical forms. For example, the product name is a noun, the product class may be a noun that agrees with the singular verb "is" and singular article "a", and the product description may be a phrase beginning with a third-person singular active verb. An example is <<A chair>> is a <<piece of furniture>> that <<has four legs, a platform for sitting, and a back to lean against>>.
Sentence elements may be stored in the database 104. Fields within records associated with content subjects may store grammatical syntax elements that may be used to create sentences based on one or more rhetorical formats. For example, the product name and product class may be used to make a sentence. In another example, the product name field and product description may be used to build another sentence. Alternately, the product name may be used with another element to build a third sentence.
In addition, fields within the record may be used to store phrases, sentences, or paragraphs that fulfill a specified rhetorical/communication function. For example, fields may store teaser sentences, point statements, illustrative descriptions, analogy statements, and feature statements. For example, sentences or phrases may relate to additional differentiators such as differentiating details such as physical or conceptual differences to other products in a class, comparisons with older technologies, examples, inventories, and analogies. In another example, a point statement may be included that further describes the product such as an advantage or usage from the target audience's point of view.
The database may further store contexts in which a content or content element is applicable. For example, content elements relating to the same content subject may be provided for different markets, regions, and branding efforts. In one exemplary embodiment, different legal statements may be provided for use with content based on the region. In another example, different content elements may be provided for marketing to different target markets. In a further example, different content elements such as product names may be associated with a content subject for different branding efforts. Different content elements may be provided for various technical levels as well.
The fields stored within the records may then be queried to selectively retrieve elements that may be utilized to create content. One exemplary application is the product profiler system 108. The content server 106 provides a tagged-segmented data file, such as an extensible markup language (XML) file, including the requested data elements to the product profiler system 108. The product profiler system 108 interprets the tagged-segmented data file to produce content for delivery through a network such as via a web page.
In other exemplary embodiments such as proposal builder 110 or e-brochure builder 112, the content server 106 may provide the content elements as a data record set. The applications 110 and 112 interpret the data record set, selectively utilizing the content elements to develop context-specific content. The content may then be provided in a document, flash file, PDF, or other electronic format.
In one exemplary embodiment, the content management system may be integrated with enterprise architecture. Applications may reside on a user end of the architecture while the content server and database reside in a business services section. In other embodiments, the system may be implemented on an intranet and use browser technology.
In this manner, content elements associated with a content subject may be reused in various contexts or for various purposes. As such, the content elements may be re-purposed and utilized automatically.
Upon receiving a request from the gateway program 214, the application server 200 may acquire an extensible markup language (XML) file 202 associated with the requested content subject. The XML may have tags that identify the elements. The XML file 202 may be interpreted by an XML parser 216. The XML file 202 may be associated with a document type definition (DTD) file 204 and further interpreted in accordance with the document type definition (DTD) file 204. The application server 200 may also include an XSL file 206 as interpreted by an XSL processor 218. Together, the XML parser 216 and the XSL processor 218 provide content elements to the gateway program 214. The gateway program 214 assembles the content elements into content included in the web pages.
Each web page may utilize different elements derived from the grammatical syntax fields stored in the database and transferred utilizing the XML file 202. In this manner, the content elements may be utilized in accordance with the intended purpose of the content.
Data associated with the product may be subdivided into sections 304, each section having an associated entry page or anchor within the displayed page. The sections may, for example, be subdivisions associated with what a product does, how it works, what it is, general information, branding information, frequently asked questions associated with the product, teasers, product features, advantages, applications, implementation, success stories, components, diagrams, options, availability, legal notices, white papers, and other information.
The interface may be further subdivided into tabbed sections that define certain grammatical structures for a particular content subject, using tabs 306. These tabbed sections may be displayed as individual web pages and each section may have multiple tab pages associated with it. In addition, each page may include an element such as a button. The pages may include buttons such as a view button 308, an add button 310, and an edit button 312. The view button 308 may facilitate a display of content elements associated with the product name 302. The add button 310 may add content entered into the page to the record in the database. The edit button 312 may, for example, unlock text entry fields, permitting editing of text associated with the content elements. Alternately, other buttons may be used to manipulate records within the database.
In this exemplary embodiment, two content elements are shown. Element 314 includes a description of the grammar rules to be applied when entering text. The element 314 may additionally include a text entry form element 316 and a size element 318 that indicates either total size permitted in the text entry element 316, the number of characters remaining for use in the text entry element 316, or the number of characters used in the text entry element 316. For example, element 314 may be a sentence or product tease designed to grab the attention of a potential purchaser. The grammatical and content-guidance rules associated with element 314 may require or suggest that the element be entered as a sentence or a question. The text entry element 316 may, for example, be limited to a size of 250 characters. As the text entry element 316 is used, the number of characters remaining may be displayed in the size element 318.
Element 320 may, for example, be a product classification. The product classification may be used in a rhetorical or classical rhetorical format and require an associated verb, article, and structured phrase or noun. In the exemplary embodiment, a drop-down menu is provided for selecting a verb form that agrees with a controlling grammatical element 322 such as "is" or "are". Another drop-down menu 324 is provided for selecting an article such as "a" or "an". A text entry form element 326 is provided for entering the product class syntax. In addition, a size element box 328 may be provided. For example, in a classic rhetorical format, a sentence may be constructed using the product name 302, the verb selected in menu 322, the article selected in menu 324, and the text in the text entry form element 326. The sentence would read: <<Product name>> is/are a/an <text entry>>. The verb selected in menu 322, the article selected in menu 324, and the text of text entry element 326 may be stored in a database and reapplied as needed for specific purposes.
Other elements may be entered such as product descriptions, teasers, descriptions of how a system works, success stories, feature names, and point statement sentences. These elements may also have an associated field in the records of the database.
The content management system may then code the stored text and convert it into structured format-supporting rhetorical elements as shown at step 406. For example, the content management system may query the records and create data record sets. In another embodiment, the content management system may query the stored records and formulate tag-structured data files such as XML files for use by other applications. The content management system may then render an electronically displayable document including at least one of the stored rhetorical elements as shown at step 408. For example, the content management system may display a web page utilizing some of the rhetorical data elements. Alternately, the content may be re-purposed and utilized for brochures, proposals, or other documents needing to fulfill a similar rhetorical/communication purpose. The content used in the brochures or proposals may utilize different rhetorical elements from those utilized in providing content for web pages, or in some cases, use the same elements or subsets, depending on the space available and the degree of content needed.
Another rhetorical structure, such as the comparison between the old and new as shown in block 504, may also use the product name. The rhetorical structure 504 may utilize a key benefit field and comparable product field that have syntax or grammatical structures different than those of the product class or key differentiator. For example, the key differentiator may have a different format than the key benefit. The different syntax for the comparison old/new is based on the rhetorical function of comparison. The payoff statement may be a benefit. The differing syntax would let a re-user emphasize this benefit over others and add flexibility to the application's discussion of the content.
Other rhetorical structures such as rhetorical structure 506 may utilize sentence syntax structures. Each sentence syntax structure may have a specific purpose. Alternately, such as in how does rhetorical structure 508, a rhetorical structure may be formulated using syntax elements that constitute nouns or phrases as well as syntax structures that include sentences and paragraphs. Syntax structure elements such as the product name may be reused in many rhetorical structures. Other elements may be specific to a given rhetorical structure. Further, these rhetorical structures and the syntax elements may be selectively utilized for different purposes.
An e-brochure may be built utilizing the comparison between the old and new 504 as well as a supplemental comparison between the old and new 506. Alternately, a proposal builder 514 may utilize the classical definition structure 502, the product how does rhetorical structure 508, and the features rhetorical structure 510. In this manner, elements and structures associated with a content subject may be selectively utilized to produce content for differing purposes.
Additional files such as XSL files may specify how a sentence or content is to be constructed using the content elements of the XML file. The actual output is shown.
The above disclosed subject matter is to be considered illustrative, and not restrictive, and the appended claims are intended to cover all such modifications, enhancements, and other embodiments which fall within the true spirit and scope of the present invention. Thus, to the maximum extent allowed by law, the scope of the present invention is to be determined by the broadest permissible interpretation of the following claims and their equivalents, and shall not be restricted or limited by the foregoing detailed description.

Federal judge throws out Obama's mandates on transgender bathrooms
On Sunday, a federal court issued a nationwide injunction on the Obama administration's significant guidance order that seeks to redefine the Title IX definition of sex as "gender identity."
Oklahoma Attorney General Scott Pruitt is a part of a 13-state coalition challenging the lawfulness of the president's order.
"This injunction is the first step to preventing the Obama administration from holding hostage every single school district, nationwide," Pruitt said. "The executive fiat passed down by the Department of Education and Department of Justice threatened the Title IX funding that Oklahoma schools, as well as all others across the nation, depend on. The thinly veiled threat is first and foremost unlawful, as we will continue to prove in court."
Oklahoma along with 12 other states challenged the Obama administration's directives in June, following a "significant guidance letter" in which the administration required schools to allow students access to restrooms or locker rooms of their gender identity rather than their sex, otherwise they would lose federal funding.
The federal district court ruling stops the Obama Administration from forcing public schools to allow boys into girls' locker rooms, showers, and restrooms while the lawsuit of several states moves forward.
"The court found that the federal government failed to follow the public notice and comment process that federal law requires and that the text of Title IX regarding the definition of sex is unambiguous," said Alliance Defending Freedom Legal Counsel Matt Sharp. "Congress intended it to refer to the 'biological differences between male and female students.'
"The Obama administration cannot unilaterally disregard and redefine federal law to accomplish its political agenda of forcing girls to share locker rooms and showers with boys. The court in this case made clear that the administration ignored the federally required public notice and comment process as well as the crystal clear meaning of Title IX in its attempt to force its will on the American people.
"We are currently reviewing the order to determine the positive impact this order has for the cases that ADF is litigating against the departments of Education and Justice in Illinois, North Carolina, and Ohio.
"Schools have a duty to protect the privacy, safety, and dignity of all students, and this order certainly helps them in fulfilling that duty."
The order of the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Texas, Wichita Falls Division, states, "Based on the foregoing authority, the court concludes § 106.33 is not ambiguous. It cannot be disputed that the plain meaning of the term sex as used in § 106.33 when it was enacted by DOE following passage of Title IX meant the biological and anatomical differences between male and female students as determined at their birth."
Also, "Additionally, it cannot reasonably be disputed that DOE complied with congressional intent when drawing the distinctions in § 106.33 based on the biological differences between male and female students. As the support identified by plaintiffs shows, this was the common understanding of the term when Title IX was enacted, and remained the understanding during the regulatory process that led to the promulgation of § 106.33.
"This undoubtedly was permitted because the areas identified by the regulations are places where male and female students may have to expose their 'nude or partially nude body, genitalia, and other private parts,' and separation from members of the opposite sex, those whose bodies possessed a different anatomical structure, was needed to ensure personal privacy."

One of the easiest and cheapest ways of fixing up and old dresser or making a piece of furniture unique is by using fabric. Find out how in this DIY Dresser Makeover tutorial!
I looked everywhere for a tall, stand-up dresser and, alas I found a cheap, unfinished pine dresser at Ikea. I also picked up some fun fabrics at Ikea for the project as well. The only other tools I needed to complete this project were an ordinary stapler and a little bit of paint (which I already had).
