Is this an unreasonable expectation?
I went into labor naturally with all 4 kids. My doctor tried to get me to induce at 39 weeks but I refused unless there was a medical reason which there was not.
Both my boys I went into labor naturally - #1 at 41.5 weeks, #2 at 39 weeks. I didn't allow my water to be broken either time. Keeping it intact helps cushion the contractions for mom and baby. My water broke while I was pushing with #1, my water didn't break until baby was born with #2!
High BP is a common reason for induction. Mine went high with #1, but I was able to lower it with rest and relaxation and some herbal teas.

I went into labor naturally. honestly I'll never know what started my labor other than my DD was just ready to join us :) I did have my water broken but it was literally 2 minutes before I started pushing, so it was about to break on it's own anyway :)
Married to DH since 11-21-2009 we have a beautiful DD22mo together with another little girl on the way
On my own both times. I would rather go over than be induced personally. My water didn't break til I was in the hospital both times. The first, the doctor did it because my bag was bulging so much they couldn't tell how dialated I was. With my second, it broke while I was being checked at admission, but not intentionally broken.
I went into labor on my own at 38 weeks. I was able to fully dilate on my own and had no problems. The only thing the docs had to do was break my water, which they did at about 9 cm, just because it didn't break on it's own. But that wasn't done to kick start my labor.

WASHINGTON – Washington Redskins owner Dan Snyder expressed a strong opinion when USA TODAY asked if he'd consider changing the team's name.
"We will never change the name of the team," he said.
The newspaper then asked if he'd change the name if the team lost an "ongoing federal trademark lawsuit."
Snyder replied, "We'll never change the name. It's that simple. NEVER — you can use caps."
Snyder said he was a lifelong Redskins fan and feels fans understand the team's "great tradition and what it means."

Dual Outlets
The VBA code to stack shapes was used to create a series of shapes that represented inserts into the cap of a bottle that allowed hoses to be connected. For the single connections, the shapes making up the stack were horizontally symmetrical, so after stacking the shapes it was a simple matter of aligning all the shapes around their centers. The dual connections were only slightly more complex. All the shapes were aligned around the same center, but the shape through the cap was offset from the rest. So, it was just a matter of adding a horizontal guide to align to the edge of the bottom shape above the cap and then horizontally move the part within the cap to align to the guide. The next step was to use the Size & Position window to add the horizontal offset to that shape.
So, now I had a single outlet shape with the proper offset. The next step was to group the shape, duplicate the group and align the two grouped shapes horizontally and vertically. The result is a dual version of the shape. Cleanup involved deleting the duplicated section through the cap, ungrouping and doing a Join operation to simplify the shape. Since I had to do a number of shapes of various cap sizes, outlet sizes and offsets, I kept a master of the single outlet version (the one with the offset), so I could earebuild the shapes.

Are Visio Shapes Stacked against you?
Recently I have been working on some Visio shapes that were basically a stack of rectangles. Though Visio has tools for aligning and distributing shapes, it does not have an easy way of stacking shapes. If you are lucky enough to have shapes that are multiples of the grid size, it is a piece of cake. If not, the guides can be used to connect a shape, above or below the guide. If you want to do more than two it gets tricky. First, you have to determine the top of the shape to determine where to place the next guide. Then use the Size / Position dialog to set the position of the guide. You can then add the next shape to the guide.
This of course would be tedious, but long before Visio was acquired by Microsoft, it was the first non Microsoft company to fully implement VBA. So, now the problem is trivial, turn on developer mode and write some VBA. So, this routine will take the selected shapes and stack them.
Public Sub StackVertical()
Dim vsoSelect As Visio.Selection
Dim vsoShape As Visio.Shape
Dim ShapeH As Double
Dim OldShapeH As Double
Dim pin As Double
Set vsoSelect = Visio.ActiveWindow.Selection
If vsoSelect.Count > 0 Then
Set vsoShape = ActiveWindow.Selection.Item(1)
pin = vsoShape.Cells("piny").Result("inches") + vsoShape.Cells("LocPinY").Result("inches")
For Each vsoShape In vsoSelect
ShapeH = vsoShape.Cells("Height").Result("inches")
vsoShape.Cells("piny") = pin – (OldShapeH + ShapeH) / 2
pin = pin – (OldShapeH + ShapeH) / 2
OldShapeH = ShapeH
Next vsoShape
MsgBox "You Must Have Something Selected"
End If
End Sub
… and the following code will stack the shapes horizontally.
Public Sub StackHorizontal()
Dim vsoSelect As Visio.Selection
Dim vsoShape As Visio.Shape
Dim ShapeW As Double
Dim OldShapeW As Double
Dim pin As Double
Set vsoSelect = Visio.ActiveWindow.Selection
If vsoSelect.Count > 0 Then
Set vsoShape = ActiveWindow.Selection.Item(1)
pin = vsoShape.Cells("pinx").Result("inches") – vsoShape.Cells("LocPinx").Result("inches")
For Each vsoShape In vsoSelect
ShapeW = vsoShape.Cells("Width").Result("inches")
vsoShape.Cells("pinx") = pin + (OldShapeW + ShapeW) / 2
pin = pin + (OldShapeW + ShapeW) / 2
OldShapeW = ShapeW
Next vsoShape
MsgBox "You Must Have Something Selected"
End If
End Sub
Though you could do a select area, it may be safer to use the Ctrl key to select the shapes in the stacking order you want.

Future of Visio?
Visio was introduced 22 years ago and has unfortunately become complacent. The Visio wannabees have become established and use half-truths to promote their products. What was Visio's last oh wow feature, something to make the market pay attention?
In its' life time, most under the Microsoft brand, Visio has come out with some interesting innovations, Data Graphics, Containers, Rules, the shapesheet and a programmable model. Before joining Microsoft, Visio was the first non-Microsoft company to fully embrace VBA.
Initially, Visio was a simple way of making connected diagrams. Drop a predefined shape and add a connection line. If the shape moves, the lines remained connected. Unlike other packages at the time, which did not have the connection feature, you were not limited to the eight shapes they supplied. The Visio team had added some magic behind the shapes, called the shapesheet. My handwriting is atrocious and I can not draw, but with the shapesheet I am able to create some fantastic shapes. Nothing compared to the mastery of one of the original shape miesters like Chris Roth, but adequate. The shapesheet contains formulas that react to the shapes surroundings. So, you could start a shape from scratch or build on an existing shape. Chris Roth's site is the place to be if you want to be a shape developer.
Then custom properties were added so the shapes could contain more than a picture of the object. The information could surface in reports or be used to alter the shapes appearance. A critically low value could change the shape colour to red. Along the way, it was possible to interrogate a Visio drawing or modify it under the control of a program. Data Graphics added the ability to add KPIs to a shape without cluttering a drawing. Since one use of Visio drawings was to illustrate processes, rules were added (I am willing to bet most people are not aware that there were Visio Rules (Check out David Parker's books, he is our Rules wizard)). So, with rules you could check a drawing for compliance and is with most things Visio, you were not limited to the rules in the box. As I said, David Parker wrote the book on it.
So, what happened? When Visio was on its' own, it had full control of the marketing and training, but as part of Microsoft, Visio is just a small piece of the puzzle. Now marketing has a plethora of products to promote and sales can make their quota on other products. Unfortunately, a lot of people are unaware of Visio's capabilities. Most consider it just a diagramming tool using clipart. On the Microsoft site, there are a number of "Visio" stencils which are no more than clipart encapsulated in a Visio shape, with none of the smarts of a true Visio shape.
Visio 2013 was a great product, but it was released more than three years ago. So far, there have been no hints of what is to come, or if there will be a new version.
So what needs to happen? There needs to be a stronger marketing campaign to promote Visio both inside and outside Microsoft. Has anybody heard of an ad for Visio? The sales force needs to aggressively promote Visio features, especially to the regions. By the time information reaches the regions, the gung ho attitude has been watered down and Visio has become just a clipart diagramming tool.
There should be a Visio-lite to get more on board. A web version would take of the Visio wannabees who complain that there is no a Mac version.
The programming of Visio should be simplified. In the old days I use to use VB until Visio spoiled me with VBA. I have tried to return, but the various methods, like VSTO have too much overhead or the process of including shapes is convoluted and keeps changing. There should also be training. At one point there was certification for Visio, but that has lapsed. And when I talk about programming Visio, I also include those who want to master the shapesheet.
I have owned almost all versions of Visio, except Visio Maps, but I am probably not the best person to comment on the price. I have never paid for a version. What got me interested in Visio was a Visio 1 sampler that was on a Windows 3.1 upgraded evaluator floppy from Microsoft Canada. I started answering questions on the ShapeWare forum on CompuServe and as Visio improved, was given beta versions and then the final releases. Having said that, I do find the price high. This is software, not a physical object, so dropping the price just means you have to sell more for the same revenue. A lower price would increase demand and destroy the main reason used by the wannabees.
MSO shapes – (MSO – MicroSoft Office) For a long time, the other Office products, Word, Excel, PowerPoint and Publisher have had Visio like capabilities. The problem is that these drawings can not be copied into Visio and the experience continued. What you get is a single grouped shape. Ungroup it and it falls apart. A simple red text box becomes a shape for the fill colour, a shape for the outline, a shape for the text. So you end up redrawing using real Visio shapes. At some point the MSO shapes need to merge into Visio.
As part of the learning curve, anyone who wants to appreciate the power of Visio should visit the websites of my fellow Visio MVPs: David Parker, John Goldsmith and especially Chris Roth.

Universal Apps – Settings on stun
Settings are one of those things that are not the same between Windows and the phone. In Windows, there are charms and developer can add their code to Charms like Settings, on the phone, the developer has to handle it on a page they create that they call by adding a button to the screen, usually an AppBar button. So, the user has a nice UI experience on the phone and the developer has to match the experience on the phone. Normally this is done with the AppBar. There are also several other housekeeping tasks, (help, about, reviews, promos for your other apps) that also compete for the AppBar. On my WP7 apps, with only four AppBar buttons, I had to make use of the AppBar menu buttons as well. To allow multilingual text on the buttons, this was done in code behind and got a bit messy.
Now with Universal Apps, a method is needed to try and reuse some of the code. So, rather than managing multiple buttons, it was easier to use a single button and make the page called a bit smarter. The logical choice appeared to make the "Settings" page a Panorama or a Pivot page with each housekeeping task having their own subpage. Since Panorama has gone and Pivot is on it's way out, a HubPage appears to be the solution. So a button to get to the page and scrolling left or right to get to the information worked nicely. The overlapping of the hub sections gives a nice hint at the next hub section.
Of course, there is still the issue with duplicating the code for Windows and the Phone. This can be easily handled by making each housekeeping task a user control placed in the shared folder. So the different mechanisms for calling the housekeeping task are stored in the Windows and the Phone folders and the actual functions, that are probably going to evolve over time, are in the Shared Folder.
Windows will use commands to invoke flyouts of the housekeeping tasks, and the Phone will use a HubSection to do the same thing.

Universal Apps – Sort of?
In WP8, I can set up a view and use a few SortDescriptions and I have view several my data in a sorted format. Not so with a universal app. The answer I received from the forums is that:
Universal apps are based on WinRT, not Silverlight. As you can see in the relevant APIs:
Windows.UI.XAML.Data.CollectionViewSource does not have a SortDescriptions property.
System.Windows.Data.CollectionViewSource does have a SortDescriptions property.
So, it appears UAs have taken a step back from phone apps. Sorting, something that should be standard, does not exists.
John Marshall… Visio MVP Visio.MVPs.org
Universal Apps – TextBox
Though not specifically for Universal Apps, the TextBox control has been nicely enhanced. In the past, if we wanted a header, we had to add a TextBlock before the TextBox. This meant coordination was required every time the TextBox had to be repositioned. Now the TextBox control includes a Header parameter. If you are not entirely happy with how the Header appears, There is a HeaderTemplate. Just include
within the TextBox control. Now you can format it to your hearts content and it will move with the TextBox if it is repositioned.
Another new feature is that you can include a watermark within the TextBox as a placeholder. So if the TextBox is empty, it displays some default text. This is handled by the PlaceholderText parameter.
Of course, those that know me know that I like making everything multilingual. These parameters do not disappoint, they also support multilingual text. Just add a x:Uid to the TextBox and include rows in the resource file referencing that Uid. So, if the Uid is Num1, your resource file should include Num1.Header and Num1.PlaceholderText. If you do add the HeaderTemplate, it can use an x:Uid within the TextBox or a different x:Uid within the HeaderTemplate.
No matter how many times I do it, I still need to double check the difference between TextBox and TextBlock.
John Marshall… Visio MVP Visio.MVPs.org
Universal Apps – Starting from Windows Phone 7
So, in other posts I have mentioned what is new as far as Multilingual support and Navigation is concerned. Now it is time to point out other differences.
For those lovers of Blend, it is now gone. Okay, it is still there, but it has lost its' place on the Project menu. Now you have to right click a xaml file to invoke it. It is definitely a tool to be used.
Isolated Storage seems to have gone. You now use
var localSettings =Windows.Storage.ApplicationData.Current.LocalSettings;
localSettings.Values["MyFirstVar"] = "Hello Windows";
Object value = localSettings.Values["MyFirstVar"];
var roamingSettings =Windows.Storage.ApplicationData.Current.RoamingSettings;
Object Value = roamingSettings.Values["MyFirstVar"];
Signatures on routines have changed. EventArgs has been replaced by RoutedEventArg.
OrientationChanged has now gone. So has Split if you peeked at Windows 8 development. Use the SizeChanged keyword on the XAML page. Use Windows.Current.Bounds.Width to get the widths value. you can use
ApplicationViewOrientation winOrientation = ApplicationView.GetForCurrentView().Orientation;
if (winOrientation == ApplicationViewOrientation.Landscape)
// Landscape layouts
else if (winOrientation == ApplicationViewOrientation.Portrait)
// Portrait layouts
For keyhandling, replace System.Windows.Input.Key.D0 with Windows.System.VirtualKey.Number0.
So how do you do convert a WP7 app to a universal app? Since there is no update button, you will have to do it manually. Unlike WP7/WP8 development, app names have to be unique, so the first step is to reserve the name. The next step is to create a Universal App with that name. As Andy points out in , the UA templates do not fully support navigation, so delete MainPage.xaml and create a new one based on Basic Page.
Within the Windows and Phone folders, create a strings folder as mentioned in the article on the Multilingual toolkit. The first version of you app may be unilingual, but by setting the ground work, adding new languages should be relatively easy. The hard part will be creating all the blarney and screen shots for the marketplace. Luckily, the Multilingual Toolkit can help (It is designed to help handle translations and not all string translatons will be INSIDE the app.).
Within the Shared folder, create a new folder called Old and place the XAML, CS and image files of the WP7 or WP8 project in it. Along with any other data that is needed by the project. This will be your working folder and the items will be removed from the folder as you convert. You did remember to do a backup of the original project? ;-)
Within the Windows and the Phone folders, create new XAML with the names used in the original project. Copy the main part of the original XAML to the new XAML files, ignoring the declaration section. Within the Shared folder create a class for the C# code behind and name it with the same name as the code behind. Place the content of the code behind within it ignoring the Usings, Anything with Phone in the name will have to be replaced, so the Usings can be recreated (or in some cases pointed to new locations).
This is a work in progress, so I will be updating this post in the future.

Dave Matthews Dreaming Tree wine highlights the first Staton wine column
Wine can be mysterious to some and intimidating to most. All those steps to smelling and tasting, all that talk of complex flavor and the labels certainly don't help. Instead of giving you concrete information it's easy to mistake the back of some of these bottles for the inner sleeve of a cheap romance novel.
So with this column I am trying to achieve the inverse of what Jake does with beer; he takes beer into a more refined territory while I will try my best to make wine less stuffy and more accessible.
With accessibility in mind, we'll first explore one of Steve Reeder and Dave Matthews' Dreaming Tree wines, Crush. Each Dreaming Tree wine makes for a great cocktail wine; you don't exactly need food to pair with it and the wines are balanced enough to keep you constantly sipping. You'll be struck immediately by the wine's deep purple, opaque look in the glass. I picked up dried cherry, clove and blackberry on the nose. There is a dry feel to the wine on the first taste, but it's a smooth astringency that leads into a jammy taste, which is definitely the wine's strongest point. Hints of vanilla provide a smooth, sweet finish. From smell to the last impression it makes in your mouth, Crush covers a wide spectrum. It has a dry quality to keep you coming back but deep flavors that encourage you to savor each sip.
I'll also suggest a food pairing in this column, but food pairings are perhaps even more subjective than wine tasting because there truly is no wrong answer. The food featured here will more often than not be readily available in the average pantry. I certainly don't have Mario Batali whipping things up in my kitchen, so I'm going to try hard not to pair wine with food you've heard nothing about. I couldn't help myself from thinking of a fresh ground sirloin bacon cheeseburger to accompany this wine. Use bleu cheese to play off the deep berry of the wine's zinfandel content and be sure to add apple wood smoked bacon and some balsamic syrup to add some sweetness to make the most of the wine's overwhelming merlot taste. If you want fries with that, I'd go sweet potato. Refrain from adding brown sugar and cinnamon; you've got all the sweetness you need in your wine.

Our Lady's Child
Hard by a great forest dwelt a wood-cutter with his wife, who had an only child, a little girl three years old. They were so poor, however, that they no longer had daily bread, and did not know how to get food for her. One morning the wood-cutter went out sorrowfully to his work in the forest, and while he was cutting wood, suddenly there stood before him a tall and beautiful woman with a crown of shining stars on her head, who said to him: I am the Virgin Mary, mother of the child Jesus. Thou art poor and needy, bring thy child to me, I will take her with me and be her mother, and care for her. The wood-cutter obeyed, brought his child, and gave her to the Virgin Mary, who took her up to heaven with her. There the child fared well, ate sugar-cakes, and drank sweet milk, and her clothes were of gold, and the little angels played with her. And when she was fourteen years of age, the Virgin Mary called her one day and said: Dear child, I am about to make a long journey, so take into thy keeping the keys of the thirteen doors of heaven. Twelve of these thou mayest open, and behold the glory which is within them, but the thirteenth, to which this little key belongs, is forbidden thee.

About the car
My Prius is a wonderful choice for exploring Hampton Roads, Virginia. It will save you a lot of gas money with its average of 48 MPG. It runs perfectly, has electronic keys that can never be locked in the vehicle, has a great sound system, and it is kept immaculately clean inside. When I put the back seats down, I can fit a kayak, bike, or surfboard. I can even fit my kayak and surfboard in at the same time. It is an older model Prius (2005), but it runs perfectly and gets routine maintenance.Report this listing Add to favorites Remove from favorites

Old Crow Medicine Show
Back in the day, George Jones had a hit single called "Ragged but Right," about a ne'er-do-well who managed to win the hearts of everyone he met. George could've been singing about the boys in the Old Crow Medicine Show, undoubtedly the finest old-time/bluegrass/ragtime/alt.country band in the land.
OCMS, like the New Lost City Ramblers before it, got together in NYC and takes much of its material from early country music recordings cut in the '20s and '30s. But these guys don't try to reproduce the sound of old-time folk music. Instead, they supercharge it with post-punk energy and irreverent humor, while still managing to stay true to the down-home, drinking-till-you-fall-off-the-front-porch ethos of pre-Nashville country music. Launching into a tune like "Tell It to Me" (a.k.a. "Cocaine Blues") or "Tear It Down" (a ragtime-tinged bit of country blues), the Show plays so hard, you almost expect its instruments to disintegrate. Though the band is as tight as any bluegrass outfit you'd care to name, there's a sloppy power to its music that always sounds as if it's about to spin wildly out of control.
The album also contains a couple of first-rate songwriters. Critter Fuqua's bluegrass ballad "Big Time in the Jungle" tells the tale of a Vietnam draftee that sounds like an up-to-the-minute protest song considering the current situation in Iraq, while Ketch Se-cor's "Hard to Tell" is an old-time, knuckle-busting hoedown with a lightning-fast, tongue-twisting lyric. Meanwhile, the production by David Rawlings (Gillian Welch's partner) captures the band's manic spirit without any obvious studio trickeration, proving once again the timeless appeal of real folk music.

Bought this to replace my 8 year old Warn 2500 ci. Exceeded my expectations in every way. Perfect install. No issues. Can't wait to try it out more thoroughly at Hatfield and McCoy later this month. My previous Warn saved several over the cliff incidents from being disasters. Go Warn and thanks Rocky Mountain Atv.Read All Reviews

It didn't take long at all to install this on my grizzly. It was a very smooth process for the wiring and mounting. I'd say the most difficult part was drilling holes for the contactor and running the wires for the battery and switch on power. All in all, I am very pleased with this product!Read All Reviews

Great price and fast shipping!!! couldn't be happier about that. Got the winch as a "just in case" i get stuck by myself when hunting. Looks great and fit perfect on my 2014 Kawasaki Teryx LE. Installation instructions were a little tough to figure out. On the description it says wire rope, but it's actually the steel cable.Read All Reviews

I have had this winch for 2 years now and it works great. I like the rocker switch and the plug in walk around remote control. Most other winches only come with one or the other this winch has them both. I have used this winch to pull my RZR 800 out of snow and mud without any problems.Read All Reviews

Ok, I know that I am a newbie and that I stink. My forehand drives, I can send the disc far down the fairway; however, when I throw RHBH, my disc goes nowhere. After playing with someone who is much better he told me that I am opening up to quickly and just using my arm only. I am sure that he is correct. Is there any one who plays at SMP regularly that wouldn't mind hanging out with me for a round. I would like to be able to throw farther than my wife who doesn't even use the X-step.
I got 2 chainsaws besides the club pole saw Dick.....so how do I make a references to a pole and a saw and a Dick?
After sleeping on it I'm sorry I even posted in this thread. You're right, Dick, about the course's best interests being at heart when this went down, and that's what should have mattered most to me. Personally, I only call the fuzz over extreme emergencies, and I'm not sure park grass being torn up constitutes an emergency.
Be that as it may, I said I wasn't there so I shouldn't have passed judgment on anyone as if I was there. Sorry guys.

This patent application is a continuation of copending U.S. patent application Ser. No. 09/711,183, entitled "METHOD OF PROVIDING ONLINE INCENTIVES", which was filed on Nov. 13, 2000. The disclosure of the above application is incorporated by reference herein in its entirety.
The present invention relates to consumer incentive systems, and in particular, relates to online incentives for auction bidders.
One method of selling merchandise may be through online auctions. Consumers and retailers may sell merchandise over the Internet where winners may be determined by method of the auction, bid price, bid quantity and bid date. While many consumers may bid on goods at a web site, those bidders willing to purchase merchandise, but having unsuccessful bids, may not purchase any merchandise. It is believed that this causes a loss of potential revenue for sellers having additional inventory available for sale at a price at or below the consumer's reservation price.
It is believed that online dynamic pricing tools are increasingly being used to help move slow-moving or excess inventory faster and at a more attractive price than was possible before the advent of the Internet. Applicants believe that today's online auctions and buying groups, however, do not always create an optimal selling environment. In the perfect world of pricing theory, where buyers and sellers have an infinite amount of time to wait, where product value does not decay over time, and where there are no explicit inventory holding costs, Applicants believe that auctions may be the best inventory disposition option for the seller. In the real world of retail merchandising, however, Applicants believe that these perfect conditions crumble, demanding a more creative approach to selling than simple auctions.
Applicants believe that retailers currently have three principal options for dealing with excess inventory. First, they may accumulate bulk quantities to be sold to liquidators (often for pennies on the dollar) at the end of the product's life cycle. Second, they may advertise a product clearance sale to the general population. Third, they may accumulate bulk quantities and ship the merchandise back to the manufacturer for credit. It is believed that all of these methods reduce the value that retailers are able to capture from these sales. Bulk sales to liquidators, as with any transaction involving a middleman, may result in a transfer of economic value from retailers to liquidators. General price reductions through clearance-style sales may transfer too much economic value from retailers to consumers, as many consumers who may have bought merchandise at a price higher than the promotion sale price in the absence of a sale may instead divert to slow-moving inventory at a lower price point.
Applicants believe that to help solve the problem of lost revenue at auctions and reduce the cost of holding excess inventory, there are many different incentive and award programs to influence consumers to purchase on-line. For example, it is believed that one incentive program allows users to earn points, which are redeemable for products, by reading e-mail offers, shopping, completing surveys, accepting trial offers, referring other users, and reviewing web sites. It is believed that another incentive program allocates monetary amounts available for expenditure through credit instruments issued to program participants when the participants perform to a designated level of achievement. Applicants believe that these systems are generally offered by a single sponsor and are generally limited to offering consumers the ability to participate in incentive programs. It is also believed that the systems are typically not applicable for activity on auction sites.
The present invention provides a method of providing incentives to bidders on an auction item, including creating a consumer profile for at least one consumer, the consumer profile including at least information relating to a bid on the auction item, choosing at least one unsold item from an inventory based on the information in the consumer profile, generating an incentive for the at least one chosen unsold item based on the consumer profile, and offering the at least one chosen unsold item and the incentive to the at least one consumer to induce purchasing of the chosen unsold item.
The present invention also provides a system for implementing an incentive program for bidders on auction items, including a consumer database storing consumer information, software for choosing unsold items from an inventory and generating incentives for the chosen unsold items based on the consumer information in the consumer database, and software for offering the chosen unsold items and the incentives to consumers to induce purchasing of the chosen unsold items. The consumer information has, at the least, information relating to bids on the auction items.
The present invention also provides a system for an incentive program for bidders on auction items, including a first memory for storing consumer profiles having consumer information, having at least information relating to bids on the auction items, a second memory for storing unsold items in an inventory, and a third memory for storing a plurality of incentives for each unsold item, each incentive having a value based on a selection of the consumer information.
The present invention also provides a method of providing incentives to bidders on an auction item using a system having a first memory for storing consumer profiles that have consumer information including at least information relating to bids on the auction items, a second memory for storing unsold items in an inventory, and a third memory for storing a plurality of incentives for each unsold item, wherein each incentive has a value based on a selection of the consumer information. The method includes creating the consumer profile for at least one consumer, choosing at least one of the unsold items from the inventory based on the consumer information in the consumer profile, generating the incentive for the chosen unsold item based on the consumer profile, the selection of consumer information of the incentive being substantially similar to the consumer information in the consumer profile, and offering the chosen unsold item and the incentive to the at least one consumer to induce purchasing of the chosen unsold item.
The present invention further provides a database for an incentive program for bidders on auction items, including an inventory file having at least one of detailed descriptions of an inventory, a list of similar items of the inventory, and a list of complementary items of the inventory, and a consumer profile having at least one of bidding history, start bid, bid frequency, bid increment, final bid, winning bid, target product, Internet service provider, zip code, credit card type, and coupon redemption rate.
The accompanying drawings, which are incorporated herein and constitute part of this specification, illustrate the presently preferred embodiment of the invention, and, together with the general description given above and the detailed description given below, serve to explain the features of the invention.
As shown in
In the preferred embodiment, as shown in
In the preferred embodiment, the consumer logs onto the Internet 1 and chooses an auction site that is entered and viewed 2. It should be understood that the device for connection to the Internet 1 could be a personal computer implementing a web browser with a graphics user interface (GUI). However, other connection devices, such as telephones with a display to communicate information with or without graphics, personal display devices, or any other device that allows communication links to and from the Internet, may be used. Moreover, although Internet communication protocol, such as TCP/IP protocol is a preferred communication method for the preferred embodiment, other similar methods may be employed. In addition, in particular applications of the preferred embodiment, the process of viewing may be conducted via a connection, such as a dial-up or direct connection link. For example, secured connections may be used to provide incentives on financial instruments or other secured items.
In the preferred embodiment, the consumer bids on items through the Internet. In an alternative embodiment, the consumer attends an auction house, in person, and bids on auction items, using a method required by the auction house. This method may include raising a bidding card with a number assigned to the consumer. In the preferred embodiment, as the consumer explores the site and places bids on auction items, the auction house records the consumer's browsing behavior 3, bidding behavior 4, and other data 5. The browsing behavior 3 may include the auction items the consumer has considered and the bidding behavior 4 may include start bids and bid frequency. The other data 5 may include information about the consumer's personal computer, such as Internet service provider and modem speed. The recorded information is stored in a data file 6 by the auction house. The auction house continuously monitors all bidders and records their behavior, while the auction is still open or there is still time remaining 7, specified by yes 7 a. When there is no time remaining 7, specified by no 8 a, the auction is closed 8 and the data file 6 is then sent 9 to the incentive system 20.
This incentive system 20 may use existing auction infrastructures to capture and analyze relevant data in the data file 6. The system 20 enables retailers and manufacturers to minimize cash flow constraints, brand dilution concerns, inventory levels, fragmentation of the online dynamic pricing market, and impatient bidder populations, which all conspire to create conditions that reduce the viability of simple dynamic pricing formulas.
The sent data received by the incentive system 20, preferably, has price-sensitivity indicators for all bidders, including browsing behavior 11, bidding and behavior values 12, personal computer information 13, such as an Internet service provider and modem speed, and transaction history 14. Preferably, the browsing behavior 11 has click stream information, which includes other components of the auction site that were visited by the consumer, number of pages visited, time spent on each page during each visit per each auction, number of auctions visited/participated, and frequency of revisiting auctions. Preferably, the bidding and behavior values 12 includes bidding history, start bid, bid frequency, bid increment, final bid, winning bid, target product, coupon redemption rate, and keywords used in auction searches. The personal computer information 13 includes Internet service provider, referring URL link, web browser make and model, operating system, bookmarks, zip code, access location (work or home), and credit card type. Preferably, the bidding and behavior values 12 also contain whether the consumer's bid was a successful bid, which is the winning bid, or an unsuccessful bid. Demographics, psychographics, market conditions, and any other relevant information from other databases 15 or any other relevant information identified through contact with the consumer may also be recorded. From this information 11, 12, 13, 14 and 15, the system 20 creates a consumer profile 16.
The information in the consumer profile is used and updated throughout the system 20. One such use is in classifying, or categorizing, the consumer into a consumer category 18. As shown in
Price Sensitive/Insensitive
The comparison determines if there is a match 21 between the consumer profile and a classification in the database. If there is a match between the consumer profile and a classification, specified by yes 21 a, between the consumer profile and the classification, then the consumer profile 16 b is categorized in that classification. If there is not a match between the consumer profile and the classification, specified by no 21 b, then a new classification will be created 22 and the database will be updated with the new classification. The consumer profile 16 a will again be compared 19 to the classifications in the database and a match will be found, specified by yes 21 a, because the consumer profile 16 a will match the classification created with the consumer profile. As the classification is stored in the consumer profile, any personal information unique to the consumer, such as names and credit card numbers, will be deleted. The consumer profile 16 will then have the consumer information from 16 a, less any personal information, and the classification from 16 b.
The system 20 also includes choosing at least one unsold item from an inventory 17. In order to choose the unsold items from inventory 17, inventory positions of retailers and/or manufacturers are monitored 31. This entails collecting inventory data from the retailers and/or manufacturers 33. The inventory data 33 may include detailed descriptions, such as inventory type, inventory levels, quantity and physical and virtual location of inventory, lists of similar items, and lists of complementary items. An inventory database system 35 is created and updated from the inventory data 33 of both the retailers and manufacturers. A maximum allowable discount from the full price for each unsold item in the inventory, or minimum price, is also determined and stored in the inventory database system 35. The maximum allowable discount may be negotiated and is based on the seller's, or retailer's or manufacturer's, inventory pressure, which is a measure of the desire to more quickly move the inventory out of their stores and to another retailer or distributor or a consumer. Pressure is driven by the explicit and opportunity costs of holding onto the inventory, as well as space and any other constraints.
Preferably, the system 20 uses the inventory database system 35 to enable retailers struggling with the issue of excess inventory to effectively and profitably move excess inventory at prices that meet their margin objectives and on a schedule that meets their cash flow objectives. Preferably, the inventory database system 35 are received by the system 20, where seller's inventory positions 36 containing the inventory data 33, and incentive options 37 are determined. The seller's inventory positions 36, preferably, contain products in their slow-moving or excess inventory and dead inventory and returned items to enable the sellers to effectively and profitably move excess inventory at prices that meet their margin objectives, and on a schedule that meets their cash flow objectives. The seller's forecasting and point-of-sale inventory control systems may also be considered. The incentive options 37 include additional percentage or specified amount discounts from manufacturers to help the seller or retailer move the inventory, such as where the retailer gives an additional 5% incentive on all Model 1234 goods or services moved out of inventory, and free add-ons, such as more warranty or free or otherwise discounted additional goods or services.
Based on the product attributes the consumer most prefers, which are revealed in the browsing behavior 11 in the consumer profile, and the seller's inventory position 36, an attribute based product consideration set, which enables the system 20 to choose unsold items from inventory 17, is created. For example, if the consumer is considered brand-driven, where the consumer looks for products across the price spectrum, but only focuses on a given manufacturer, the products in the product consideration set will most likely be products by that given manufacturer. The products offered will be determined by the seller's inventory position 36 because only certain products will be available to offer from the seller's inventory. Similarly, if the consumer is considered price-sensitive, where the consumer looked for products within a certain price range, then only products within that price range may be included in the product consideration set.
When the consumer profile is classified 18, the unsold item from inventory is chosen 17, and the seller's inventory position 36 and incentive options 37 are determined, the system 20 will generate incentives 24 using a learning model. The learning model calculates the incentives based on the information in the consumer profile, classification, product consideration set, seller's inventory position 36, and incentive options 37. Preferably, the calculations performed by the learning model will maximize the seller surplus 43. The learning model is constantly monitored and updated to improve accuracy. When the system 20 is turned on at Day 0, it has minimal information on which to base incentive generation decisions. As time goes by and redemption data is accumulated, statistics will be used in the learning model to determine what information, or attributes, add to the ability to accurately produce incentives and which attributes do not add value. Once this is known, attribute weights will be adjusted to reflect this information. Over time, it is possible to more accurately understand how important each attribute is in computing the proper incentive. In the preferred embodiment, the redemption rate is among the primary indicators monitored and updated in order to improve the accuracy of the attributes, of the data, and their weightings in the learning model. Each profile/incentive combination may be regularly monitored for accuracy by reviewing redemption statistics. For example, Consumer Profile #A3421 may suggest a given amount of incentive. If this incentive is given to the consumer whose behavior matches the profile and the consumer chooses the incentive, then the score for the profile/incentive combination will improve. Consumer profiles exhibiting low or split accuracies will either be recomputed (if low) or split into further profiles (if split) to improve their accuracy.
In regard to the information in the consumer profile, preferably, each piece of data is assigned a weight, which determines the amount of influence, or importance, each piece of data will have in the calculation of the incentive. Preferred attributes include intensity (how often the consumer bid, checked on the current bid price, viewed the website in general), competitiveness (if the consumer responded each and every time he or she was outbid), final bid-price (as a percentage or full-retail price of an item, where the higher the final bid, the less of an incentive a consumer will receive), and zip code driven demographics (higher level annual income zip-codes will receive less of a discount than lower annual income zip codes). In one embodiment, the number of bids may be used by the learning model, where if consumer 1 (C1) bid 5 times during the auction and consumer 2 (C2) bid 10 times during the auction, it may be determined that C2 is more interested in the auction item than C1. As a result, C1's incentive will be less than C2's incentive because C2 is more interested and will be willing to pay more for a given item. In another embodiment, the referring URL link may be used by the learning model, where C1 enters the auction from a pricing/search bot, which is a class of Internet search agents employed by consumers to scour the various retailers and auctions databases to look for an item with the criteria the consumer specifies, such as price, make, model, etc., and C2 enters from some generic link (start page of C2's Internet Service Provider). C1 will receive incentives greater than C2 because entering through a price-bot indicates that C1 is price sensitive. In yet another embodiment, the learning model may use current and past bid data and number of auctions visited and/or participated, where C1 participated in three auctions from the start point of each auction, but consistently dropped out when the price of the auction item reached X% of full retail or some actual dollar amount and C2 participated in only one auction and joined with a few hours remaining. C1 may be viewed as more price sensitive than C2 because C1 has a clear price ceiling, so C1 will receive an incentive greater than C2.
In regard to the classifications, consumers determined to be price sensitive may receive incentives with larger values than those determined to be price insensitive, consumer's determined to be brand sensitive may receive incentives targeted only for specific brands they are determined to be interested in while consumers determined to be brand insensitive may receive incentives for any number of brands available, and consumer's determined to be time sensitive may receive incentives with lower values than those consumers determined to be time insensitive. Additionally, consumers determined to be feature sensitive may only receive incentives for items containing the feature of interest, or in the case where items containing the feature of interest are not available, the incentive for an alternate item will be greater than if an item with the feature was available.
The learning model will also determine the products that meet the criteria of both the product consideration set and the seller's inventory position 36. The learning model calculates incentives for products determined to be part of an individual consumer's product consideration set. The product consideration set may be constrained in two ways. First, the set may be constrained by the available inventory from the seller's or retailer's shelves. Second, the set may be chosen based on the behavior of the individual consumers. The products offered may be comparable or different items in relation to the original auction item, and all of the products from the consideration set may be offered or a select few may be offered. The products may also be from one or more sellers. For example, if consumer 1 (C1) had been viewing goods A, B, C, D, and E, all from different manufacturers, but with retail prices falling between $300-$325, then C1 would be offered (based on availability) goods from any manufacturers with similar average prices. In contrast, if consumer 2 (C2) had been viewing goods V, W, X, Y, and Z, all from manufacturer J, but varying in price from $200-$500, C2 would be offered (based on availability) goods from manufacturer J that varied in price. Preferably, each of these goods will have a discount zone 38, where the effective price 41 will be determined based on the consumer profile and matched classification.
When an incentive is generated 24, or created, the system 20 will then offer the incentive 25 to the consumer. In the preferred embodiment, an incentive notification is created and sent to the consumer. The incentive notification may be in the form of e-mail or any other type of delivery. The incentive may be a general incentive for any product or a specific incentive for a specific product. In addition, the notification may contain one or more incentives offered at the same time to the same consumer. These incentives may be based on a retail price of the auction item or an unsuccessful bid, which is less than a lowest successful bid in the auction. The incentives may also be in the form of a coupon, discount, rebate, additional product, reward, or any other type of offer. For example, an e-mail entitled "Manager's Special" may be sent to C1, a consumer, with notification that C1 was outbid on a S brand product. The e-mail may or may not give C1 a time limit to respond to the offers, or incentives. There may be several incentives for C1 to choose, such as a coupon for $91 off a J brand product A with a MSRP (manufacturer's suggested retail price) of $299.95 from Stereo Store, a coupon for $71 off a P brand product A with a MSRP of $349.99 from Electronic Retailer, a coupon for $46 off a S brand product A with a MSRP of $299.99 from Ed's Manufacturer, and a coupon for a S brand product B with a MSRP of $249.99 from Stereo Store. The J brand, P brand, and S brand products A are comparable items to the S brand product A in which C1 was outbid, whereas the S brand product B is a different item, but is the same brand as the auction item. In addition, the products are from three different sellers, with two products from the same seller. The incentives are also all based on the retail price of the product.
When the incentive is delivered to the consumer, the consumer has the option of selecting the incentive 27. If the consumer chooses not to select the incentive, specified by no 28, the system 20 will update 50 the consumer profile with information that the incentive was not redeemed. The consumer may specify no 28 by not responding to the incentive within a specified period of time, terminating communications, or responding with a rejection. When no 28 is specified, the contact with the consumer will end 51.
If, however, the consumer chooses to select the incentive, specified by yes 29, the consumer profile will be updated 50 with information that the incentive was redeemed and the redemption will be processed 52. The redemption information is then used to determine how accurate the learning model is performing. For example, if approximately 50% of the consumers in a classification expected to act on an incentive do not, the learning model may then split the classification into two other and/or new classifications. The data elements that are familiar to those choosing the incentive will form a first split classification and the data elements that are familiar to those not choosing the incentive will form a second split classification. If, on the other hand, the redemption rate is statistically very low, the learning model may recompute, or modify, the classification altogether.
To accept the incentive, preferably, the consumer may click on a hypertext link, which may be in the form of an image, and proceed with purchasing the product. This allows for automated fulfillment of rewards. Processing 52 includes collecting payment information, such as a credit card number, and shipping or pick-up information. The consumer or retailer may choose to arrange shipment of the product if the store is not located near the consumer or the consumer may choose to pick up the product at a local retailer. At this point, a commission for providing the incentive generated by the system 20 will be received by the operator of the system 20. Preferably, the commission is a transaction fee or a percentage of the seller surplus 42 on the product offered with the incentive.
When the payment information is collected from the consumer, it is forwarded in the form of a pick and pack list and received 53, along with payment, by the seller. The seller will pull the item and/or assemble shipment 54. If the consumer specified an in store pick-up 55, specified by yes 55 a during processing 52, then the seller will hold onto the offered product until the consumer goes to the store for pick-up 56. On the other hand, if the consumer did not want in store pick-up 55, specified by no 55 b, then a carrier will receive payment for shipping and the shipping information 57. Preferably, the carrier, or courier, will arrive at the retailer, or seller, to pick up the offered product and apply a shipping label 58. The offered product, or item, will be picked up 59 and delivered 60 to the consumer. The offered product, in the form of a package, will then be received by the consumer via the courier 61.
The system 20 also includes a consumer database storing consumer information, software for choosing the unsold items from the inventory and generating the incentives for the chosen unsold items based on the consumer information in the consumer database, and software for offering the chosen unsold items and the incentives to consumers to induce purchasing of the chosen unsold items. The consumer information has, at the least, information relating to bids on the auction items.
The system 20 also includes a first memory for storing the consumer profiles having consumer information, having at least information relating to bids on the auction items, a second memory for storing the unsold items in the inventory, and a third memory for storing the incentives for each unsold item, each incentive having a value based on a selection of the consumer information. The first memory stores computed historical, current, and projected aggregated consumer information as consumer profiles.
While the invention has been disclosed with reference to certain preferred embodiments, numerous modifications, alterations, and changes to the described embodiments are possible without departing from the sphere and scope of the invention, as defined in the appended claims and their equivalents thereof. Accordingly, it is intended that the invention not be limited to the described embodiments, but that it have the full scope defined by the language of the following claims.
