Hello Everyone. My name is Laura and I am on day six and a half if we want to get technical (which in this case I obviously do). I have been taking the advice and telling as many people as possible that I have quit smoking. Its funny, I say I quit smoking on Monday at 4:06 and everyone looks at me like I am crazy. One girl said, "I find it funny you know the exact moment you quit." Doesn't she have any idea how crucial this moment is in my life. I mean we all now important times like that. Babies being born, when man landed on the moon....etc.
Always fun looking back at the beginning of our Journeys. People within this forum completely understand statements like: I am on day six and a half if we want to get technical. I quit Monday at 4:06.... Congratulations on successfully traversing the early stages and maintaining your quit ALL THESE YEARS. Proof positive that knowledge and gumption can go a long way.

.Iadd.This is a continuation of Reissue application Ser. No. 07/870,580, filed Apr. 17, 1992, now abandoned, which application is a Reissue of U.S. Pat. No. 4,918,322, granted on Apr. 17, 1990, of Walter W. Winter et al for a VOICE/DATA-FORMATTED TELEPHONE INFORMATION STORAGE AND RETRIEVAL SYSTEM. .Iaddend.
The present invention relates, in general, to telephone systems, and is particularly directed to a call answering system through which information requested by a calling subscriber, such as directory assistance information, may be selectively returned to the calling party as an audio message in the operator's voice or in digital format to be captured and displayed at the calling party's equipment.
Operator-assisted telephone service facilities, such as directory assistance, toll service and private branch exchanges, require that the servicing operator handle a large number of similar, (effectively monotonous routine) calls during the operator's work period. In a directory assistance position, where the monotony problem is particularly acute, it has been common practice to provide the operator with a mechanized voice storage and retrieval unit (commonly referred to as an automatic response unit, or ARU) which, when accessed from the operator's terminal position (simultaneously releasing the operator to handle another call), assembles a verbalized response message by stringing together a series of prerecorded or synthesized words, typically comprised of an introductory phrase (such as "The number is") followed by a sequence of numerical digits, and couples this `android-sounding`audio message to an automated call director (switch) for application over the telephone line to the calling party.
Now, although the use of an automatic response unit provides some assistance to the operator, from the customer's standpoint its mechanical sounding voice is not only unattractive (and a confusing change from the voice of the operator), but often, to the customer's ear, is of such inferior quality that the customer stays on the line to hear a repeat of the message or until the operator picks up the call and handles the inquiry directly. In either of these events, there is a delay in providing the intended service, which incurs the penalty of user dissatisfaction and lost revenue. Of course, there are many occasions in which the ARU cannot be used to meet the customer's needs, as in the case of a multiple directory number request and for information other than that which has been previously recorded and stored. Under such circumstances it is necessary for direct operator participation; still, the basic information supply exercise conducted by the operator, e.g. that of retrieving a number or address from a database and delivering (speaking) that information to the customer, is the same as when using the ARU.
Advantageously, a considerable aspect of the problem, particularly the quality of the synthesized message vocalized to the customer, is addressed by the telephone operator voice storage and retrieval system described in U.S. Pat. Nos. 4,623,761, issued Nov. 18, 1986 and 4,697,282, issued Sept. 29, 1987, and assigned to the assignee of the present application. Pursuant to the patented scheme, messages to be played back to the customer are prerecorded (digitized and stored in computer-addressable memory) in the voice of the operator who is on-line during the servicing of the call, so that, when retrieved and synthesized out to the calling party, the played-back messages are effectively indistinguishable from the live voice of the operator, thus presenting a realistic audio message to the subscriber, which not only avoids customer confusion, but reduces revenue-impacting delay time.
Pursuant to a first aspect of the present invention, the . .`personalized`voice.!. .Iadd.`personalized voice`.Iaddend. characteristics of the above-identified patented system are extended to a synthesized message storage and retrieval system in which customer response messages (such as a directory assistance-requested number) are generated by concatenating a sequence of words that have been recorded in digital memory in the voice of the operator and selectively accessed from memory in accordance with prescribed inflection (rising, falling, neutral) characteristics. By linking together phrases or words having selectively chosen inflections in the voice of the operator, particularly sequences of numbers (in reply to a directory assistance request), the resulting vocalized message will more naturally simulate the manner of speech of the operator and thereby provide a more realistic verbalization of the message to the customer. In accordance with the communications functionality of the operator's voice message assembly mechanism, the system performs a plurality of tasks for the operator, including automatically answering all incoming calls with a prerecorded phrase dependent on the type of call being serviced and, by means of an auxiliary audio interface with the call director, the output message can be delivered to the customer whether or not the operator is connected to the call.
Pursuant to a second feature of the invention, rather than audibly vocalizing the message out to the calling subscriber, when retrieved from memory the contents of the message are transmitted in digital format, so that they may be captured and visually indicated to the customer via a digital display provided in the calling subscriber's telephone equipment. In the course of use of the digital communication mechanism, in response to an incoming call, an inquiry is sent to the calling subscriber's equipment to determine whether it has the capability of receiving digital data communications. If it does, then the operator may choose to forward the answer to the caller's inquiry as a data communications message, which can be transmitted in a shorter time than required to vocalize out the requested information and, because it is captured and stored by the calling party's equipment, is continuously available to be read by the calling party, until cleared.
FIG. 1 is a diagrammatic illustration of a telephone communication path between a calling subscriber and an operator/switch position coupled with a voice/data-formatted information storage and retrieval system in accordance with the present invention;
FIG. 2 diagrammatically illustrates the make-up of a voice/data-formatted telephone information storage and retrieval system in accordance with the present invention; and
FIG. 3 diagrammatically illustrates the configuration of a telephone handset having digital communication and display capability.
Before describing in detail the particular improved voice/data-formatted telephone information storage and retrieval system in accordance with the present invention, it should be observed that the present invention resides primarily in a novel structural combination of conventional data/signal processing components and communication circuits and not in the particular detailed configurations thereof. Accordingly, the structure, control and arrangement of these conventional circuits and components have been illustrated in the drawings by readily understandable block diagrams which show only those specific details that are pertinent to the present invention, so as not to obscure the disclosure with structural details which will be readily apparent to those skilled in the art having the benefit of the description herein. Thus, the block diagram illustrations of the FIGS. do not necessarily represent the mechanical structural arrangement of the exemplary system, but are primarily intended to illustrate the major structural components of the system in a convenient functional grouping, whereby the present invention may be more readily understood.
Referring now to FIG. 1 there is shown a diagrammatic illustration of a telephone communication path through which a calling subscriber 10 accesses a telephone service facility 20 in order to obtain information supplied by that facility. For the purpose of providing an exemplary environment in which the present invention may be applied, in the description to follow it will be assumed that the accessed operator position is a directory assistance position. However, it should be realized that the invention is not limited to such a facility, but may be utilized with substantially any information facility where operator assistance is employed for the retrieval of information from a stored database. The telephone service facility 20 itself contains a conventional arrangement of an operator terminal 11, which is linked in the customary manner of a present day communication link (e.g. an ISDN link), via voice and data channels 12 and 14, respectively, to an automated call director or switch 13 such as a 5ESS manufactured by AT&T. Switch 13, in turn, is coupled to an incoming telephone link 23 through which calling subscriber 10 communicates with service facility 20.
As will be described below with reference to FIG. 3, where the telephone equipment 21 employed by calling subscriber 10 is a digital unit, having message buffer and display capability, the operator may selectively initiate return of requested information in digital format, rather than a verbalized message, In such a situation, the processing of a directory assistance request, including capture and display of the data representing the response to the directory assistance request at the calling subscriber's unit 21, would be accomplished effectively immediately, so that the next call awaiting service could be handled more quickly.
As pointed out above, the overall communication path through which the service facility operator and the calling subscriber are connected and communicate with one another, including terminal 11, audio and data channels 12 and 14, switch 13 and telephone link 23 is conventional. In addition, normally interfaced with the operator terminal 11 and switch 13 there would be an automatic response unit (not shown) that is selectively accessed by the operator to provide a mechanized voice message response containing the requested directory information through switch 13 over line 23 to the calling subscriber. In the system configuration shown in FIG. 1, however, in place of this conventional, limited capability automatic response unit, there is provided a processor-based . .`personalized`voice.!. .Iadd.`personalized voice`.Iaddend./data response unit 15, to be described in detail below with reference to FIG. 2, which is coupled with operator terminal 11 and switch 13 and which has the dual capability of assembling and audibly verbalizing a directory assistance message from a stored digital data base, in the voice of the terminal operator who is on-line with the calling subscriber, and of selectively forwarding a digitally formatted message containing the requested information to the calling subscriber for capture and display at a digital telephone set.
For this purpose, voice/data response unit 15 is coupled with each of audio channel 11 and data channel 14 of the communications link between operator terminal 11 and switch 13. Audio channel 12 couples audio (e.g. voice) signals between the operator (headset) and the voice link through the switch, while data channel 14 carries the digital control signals through which the data/signal processing components of terminal 11 and switch 13 communicate with one another in the course of the intercept, processing and release of a call. (As noted above, both the hardware and the signal processing and communication mechanisms employed for this purpose are conventional and will not be detailed here, as a description of the same is unnecessary for understanding the present invention.) Through its connection to audio channel 12, voice/data response unit 15 is able to receive (for storage and later on-line playback) words and phrases that are voiced by the operator and to couple played-back voice messages to the audio channel through which the operator and calling subscriber converse with one another. Data channel 14 is used to couple digital signals generated at the operator terminal 11 (i.e. keyboard initiated) for controlling the operation . .o.!. .Iadd.of .Iaddend.unit 15.
Voice/data response unit 15 is also directly interfaced with switch 13 through a dedicated audio link 16 and a pair of input and output data links 17 and 18, respectively. Audio link 16 serves to couple either voice or digitally formatted messages from voice/data response unit 15 to switch 13 for application to link 23 and transmission to the calling subscriber 10, without interfacing such messages to the audio link with the operator. Link 16 is similar to the connection of a conventional automatic response unit to the switch, which supplies a prerecorded mechanical voice message to the subscriber in response to a keyed input from the operator (who normally simultaneously releases from the call). However, unlike a conventional automatic response unit, the message coupled over link 16 to switch 13 may be transmitted in digital format (for capture and display by a digital capability telephone set) or, in audio format, in which case it is assembled from a database that causes the played back message to be verbalized in the voice of the operator who is on line with the subscriber. Links 17 and 18 are digital control links through which the switch 13 and unit 15 conduct communication control operations.
Referring now to FIG. 2, the configuration of voice/data response unit 15 is shown as comprising a (digital/analog, analog/digital) format conversion unit 30 comprised of respective analyzer and synthesizer chips 31 and 33 (both OKI SEMI.M5218), which are coupled between audio link 12 and an internal digital communications bus 35 within unit 15. Under the control of an internal microprocessor 41 (INTEL 8086), the control program for which is stored in PROM 47 (INTEL 2764), digitizer chip 31 converts messages voiced by the operator into digital format, the digitized messages being stored in (semiconductor) random access memory 43 (RAM) (HITACHI HM50464) or disk (e.g. floppy, hard or optical) (SEAGATE 225) memory 45. Typically, RAM 43 is used to store abbreviated (on the order of several to ten seconds in duration), frequently accessed words and phrases, while disk memory 45 may store relatively lengthy (20 seconds to several minutes), less often used sentences, the delay in initiating the playback of which is not critical, as in the case of very brief phrase retrieved from RAM 43. Synthesizer chip 33 converts (. .r.!. .Iadd.or .Iaddend.verbalizes) digitally encoded message data accessed from one of memories 43 and 45 into audio format for application to audio link 12. In effect, the message storage and retrieval mechanism embodied in the communication path between operator terminal 11 (via audio link 12) and voice/data response unit corresponds to that described in the above-reference Winter et al patents, as messages to be played back to the calling subscriber are stored in the voice of the operator who is on line and services the call and are selectively accessed from memory and verbalized back to the calling party (and operator simultaneously via audio link 12) in accordance with information contained in the incoming call.
In addition, during the recording process, the operator voices the word components of which the messages are made in a number of different inflections (e.g. low, neutral and high), so that the control software through which processor 41 causes the message components to be accessed from memory and joined together or concatenated (e.g. the phrase: "The number is: 555-1212" is formed by concatenating the message components: `the`, `number`, `is`, `five` (repeated twice), `one`, `two`, `one` and `two`) my create a response message that sounds `personalized` or human. Thus, in the case of the parenthetical example, the high inflection versions of the word `five` and the word `two` may be accessed from memory to verbalize the last "5" and each occurrence of the number "2" in the message sequence, so as to more realistically recreate a typical human speech pattern.
As pointed out above, in addition to verbalizing response messages accessed from digital memory in the voice of the on-line operator (with realistic inflections of the message components) voice/data response unit 15 may selectively cause a response message to be coupled in digital communications format directly to switch 13, exclusive of audio communications link 12, for transmission from the switch 13 over telephone link 23 to calling subscriber 10, whereby the response message may be captured and displayed to the caller by way of a digital communications device 21 provided at the location from which the calling . .subscribe.!. .Iadd.subscriber .Iaddend.accesses facility 20.
For this purpose, voice/data response unit 15 is coupled to switch 13 by way of an auxiliary (audio band) link 16 over which both voice and digitally formatted messages may be coupled to switch 13. Auxiliary link 16 is interfaced with the internal memory of voice/data response unit 15 by way of a modem 51 and a second synthesizer chip 53. Modem 51 preferably comprises a conventional Bell 212A modem (XECOM XE1212), through which digitally formatted messages accessed from internal memory (RAM 43 or disk memory 45) are transmitted via link 16 and switch 13 to the telephone link 23, and through which incoming communication messages from the remote subscriber set 21 (e.g. a response to a query from unit 15 as to whether remote set 21 possesses digital communication and display capability) are received and coupled to control processor 41. Synthesizer 53 chip is identical to synthesizer chip 33 within format conversion unit 30 and is used when verbalizing a response message directly out to the calling subscriber via link 16 without simultaneous presentation of the message to the operator. This functionality is similar to that utilized in a conventional automatic response unit in which a message is voiced out to the subscriber via the switch by the operator's keying of a line designator on the terminal console screen, which causes the information highlighted on the operator's CRT to be accessed and forwarded as a response message to the caller end, at the same time releases the operator to handle another call. However, a significant difference is the fact that, in accordance with the present invention, the message is not verbalized in a `mechanical` sounding manner, but is controllably inflected in the voice of the operator who is servicing the call.
By supplementing the synthesized voice playback capability of unit 15 with the auxiliary digital communication facility provided by modem 51, the present invention not only offers the customer a multipurpose communication mechanism, but one which has the ability to significantly reduce the on-line time of both the calling subscriber and the operator. Namely, where the subscriber's telephone set is equipped with digital communication capability such as that employed in retail point-of-sales credit card verification devices, through an initial interrogation transmission (poll) conducted by processor 41 through modem 51, unit 15 can be effectively immediately apprised whether the call can be serviced digitally. Because link 16 is connected exclusive of the operator terminal, the polling of the calling subscriber's set can be effected prior to operator becoming connected to the caller. If the polling inquiry indicates that the calling subscriber's set . .possess.!. .Iadd.possesses .Iaddend.digital capability, the operator may cause the requested information (response message) to be transmitted digitally, as the call is released. The calling party sees the requested information (which is buffered in the customer's set) displayed immediately and hangs up, so that the time on-line is reduced and thereby accessibility to the service facility enhanced.
Also shown in FIG. 2 is the digital interface circuitry through which communication control signalling is conducted between the voice/data response unit 15 and each of operator terminal 11 and switch 13. Specifically, each of digital communication links 17 and 18, through which respective incoming and outgoing communication control messages are coupled with switch 13, is coupled to a respective digital format conversion unit 63 and 65, (both Motorola MC 68681) such as RS-232 and RS-422 or packet switch units (e.g X.25 protocol-compatible), depending upon the manufacturer's switch type. Similarly, data link 14 is coupled to a dedicated digital format conversion unit 61 (MC68681) for interfacing digital communication control signals from the operator's terminal 11 with unit 15. Link 14 is read by control processor 41 to determine the status of the operator's console, i.e. the status of any pending call. It also is used to control the operation of the unit during the recording of response messages by the operator prior to the operator placing the unit into service.
Referring now to FIG. 3, there is a shown a diagrammatic illustration of the components of a telephone set possessing the capability of conducting digital communications with unit 15 and thereby capable of capturing and displaying a digitally formatted response message (e.g. a requested telephone number from directory assistance). As shown in FIG. 3, digital telephone set 21 comprises a standard telephone interface circuit 71, an associated modem 73, internal processor and memory 75, keyboard 77 and digital display 79. Such a set may be a conventional digital telephone unit such as that employed at point-of-sales terminals for retail credit data checks, such as a CAT-100 manufactured by OMRON. When a digital response message is forwarded from the service facility over the telephone line 2 to set 21, it is coupled through the telephone circuit 71 and modem 73 to be captured in a storage buffer, so that it may be displayed on digital display 79. Since the digital telephone is controlled by the calling subscriber, the number is available as long as the subscriber needs it until erased.
The record mode is employed by the operator at the telephone service facility to record response messages that will be available for playback during the operator's work period. The storage and retrieval capability of voice/data response unit 15 allows the operator to record messages directly from her terminal position by speaking into her headset microphone and by placing the record unit in the record mode from the operator terminal keyboard. In the course of preparing a file of response messages, predetermined (e.g. supervisor approved/edited) response words and phrases are recorded by the operator as the operator supplies control signals from terminal 11 over data link 14. Control processor 41 within unit 15 responds to the operator-source digital message and sets up internal memory and digitizer circuitry for receiving the operator-voice words and phrases. As pointed out previously, the words and phrases, particularly individual words, such as numerical digits, are preferably repeated by the operator with different inflections for each repeat utterance, so that when a response message is assembled by concatenating individual words, the resulting phrase or sentence will have a realistic human voice characteristic.
The operator's voiced messages, when spoken into the headset microphone, are coupled over audio link 12 to digitizer 31 and controllably written into RAM 43. The particular response message codes and associated response messages are generated such that processor 41 will know where to store the response messages in RAM 43. Simply put, each response message will be identified by a binary code coupled from the operator terminal 11 over link 14. The operator then proceeds to speak the message to be stored in memory. The beginning and end of a spoken message is preferably monitored by a voice detect circuit coupled with the operator's headset, similar to that of the voice detector employed in the telephone operator voice storage and retrieval system described in the above-referenced Winter et al patent. When the message is complete, processor 41 terminates the generation of address signals for the storage of the message in RAM 43.
Once a complete response phrase/word file has been stored in RAM 43, it may be controllably transferred to disk memory 45. Preferably, RAM 43 contains those words and phrases which require effective immediate retrieval and playback to the calling party. Messages which have a fairly long playback time, such as several sentences or paragraphs may be permanently stored in disk memory 45 and read out therefrom during the playback mode.
As pointed out previously, because of the versatility of the present invention, response messages which are accessed from memory may be played back in either audio format (verbalized out to the calling subscriber) or forwarded in digital format (where the subscriber's telephone set possesses digital storage and display capability). Moreover, verbalization of a message retrieved from memory may be coupled to either the operator's audio line, so that the operator remains on line and can speak to the calling subscriber, or may be supplied directly to switch 13 via auxiliary link 16, permitting the operator to release the call and attend to another call. Each of these respective options will be discussed individually below.
As pointed out previously, the exemplary environment in which the present invention is employed is assumed to be that of a directory assistance terminal position. When a directory assistance request call comes into the operator terminal from switch 13, a communication control signal is supplied over input link 14 indicating that a call has been received, which causes processor 41 to access a prescribed `greeting` message. This initial `greeting` message is applied to synthesizer . .13.!. .Iadd.33 .Iaddend.and thereby `voiced` out over audio link 12, so that it may be verbalized to the calling subscriber through switch 13 and, at the same time, to the operator headset. The `greeting` message may include whatever introductory phrase the directory assistance facility desires plus another functional phrase, such as "directory assistance, may I help you?". At this point, the operator listens to the request voiced by the calling subscriber and causes directory assistance listings to be displayed on her terminal screen. If the customer asks for information which requires the operator to personally speak information to the calling subscriber, the operator may now converse with the calling subscriber through audio link 14. If, in the course of the conversation, the operator determines that the information requested can be assembled from data stored in memory, so that it may be synthesized back to the calling subscriber and the operator may release, then the operator may key-in the appropriate response message access code through her terminal, such as through a conventional line designator on her terminal screen, which causes the message to be accessed from memory and played out directly to the switch 13 through synthesizer 53 and auxiliary link 16. At the same time, the operator releases her position.
CPU 41 monitors link 14 for the identification of the message to be retrieved and an operator release code. Upon recognizing the operator release (end-of-call) code on line 14, processor 41 prepares to answer the next incoming call to the operator on audio link 12, just as it has done. The operator release signal on link 14 is also detected by switch 13, which forwards a command on link 17 requesting processor 41 to cause the message to be coupled to auxiliary link 16 directly to the switch, so that it may be voiced out to the calling subscriber. If auxiliary link 16 is presently busy, switch 13 waits for processor 41 to forward a transmission complete signal on link 18, advising the switch 13 that the auxiliary link 16 is no longer busy. Switch 13 then transmits a message initiate command on link 17 requesting a playback of the message on auxiliary link 16. Processor 41 then connects auxiliary link 16 to the call that has just been released from the operator terminal 11 and switch 13 forwards a command over link 17 for retransmission of the message to the calling subscriber. In response to this command, processor 41 prepares or assembles a list of words and phrases to be concatenated to provide the proper telephone message, taking into account any necessary inflection associated with a set of codes for that particular message and selects the proper inflection phrase. Processor 41 then sequentially accesses the components of the message from memory, so that they may be synthesized via synthesizer 53 and verbalized out over link 16 to the switch. When the message is complete, a transmission complete signal is coupled over link 18 to switch 13, so that a new call may be handled.
In those circumstances where the calling subscriber's telephone set possesses digital storage and display capability, the choice of the digital transmission option is a particularly attractive mechanism to speed-up handling of the call. In this circumstance, when the call is intercepted, but prior to the operator coming on-line, digital communications by way of modem 51 between the CPU 41 and the subscriber's digital equipment advise the unit 15 that a response message may be digitally formatted and forwarded to the calling subscriber. Thereupon, an indication that the calling subscriber possesses digital signalling capability is forwarded over link 18 to switch 13 which, in turn, advises the operator terminal 11 via link 14.
In the same manner as answering a call, in a verbalizer format when the operator releases and initiates a digital response message by keying in a digital response request via her terminal keyboard, voice/data response unit 15 initially determines whether auxiliary link 16, through which digital message are transmitted, is presently busy. If so, switch 13 waits for the processor 41 to forward a message on link 18 indicating that the current message transmission which is occupying auxiliary link 16 is complete. Upon receipt of this message, switch 13 sends a command over link 16, requesting unit 15 to prepare to transmit the data in digital format to the calling subscriber. When the operator select the appropriate response phrase to be transmitted out to the calling subscriber, processor 41 then awaits a transmission request from switch 13, once switch 13 has connected audio link 16 to the calling line. Processor 41 then accesses the data and forwards it to the outgoing buffer within modem 51, and causes the digital message to be transmitted to the calling subscriber via auxiliary link 16 through the switch and link 13. Once the message has been digitally transmitted out, a transmission-complete signal is forwarded out over link 18 to the switch, indicating that it may now prepare to handle a new call. The digital message itself will be heard as a brief garbled tone by the subscriber and the response number will be immediately displayed on the display of the subscriber's handset. The time required to complete this operation is on the order of a fraction of a second, as compared to the time that is normally requested for the verbalizing of the response message (here a telephone number). As a result, the service facility can release the call effectively immediately once the operator keys in the number requested by the calling subscriber.
As will be appreciated from the foregoing description, the present invention provides a mechanism for applying the `personalized` voice attributes of the above-identified patented system to a synthesized message storage and retrieval system in which customer response messages (such as a directory assistance-requested number) are generated by concatenating a sequence of words that have been recorded in digital memory in the voice of the operator and selectively accessed from memory in accordance with prescribed inflection (rising, falling, neutral) characteristics. By linking together phrases or words having selectively chosen inflections in the voice of the operator, particularly sequences of numbers (in reply to a directory assistance request), the resulting vocalized message will more naturally simulate the manner of speech of the operator and thereby provide a more realistic verbalization of the message to the customer. As an additional feature, the communications functionality of present invention enables a message retrieved from memory to be transmitted in digital format, so that it may be captured and visually indicated to the customer via a digital display provided in the calling subscriber's telephone equipment.
While we have shown and described an embodiment in accordance with the present invention, it is to be understood that the same is not limited thereto but is susceptible to numerous changes and modifications as known to a person skilled in the art, and we therefore do not wish to be limited to the details shown and described herein but intend to cover all such changes and modifications as are obvious to one of ordinary skill in the art.

Thanks a ton for this PistolRogue. There is not a lot of custom jobs done on the SA 17 yet. I absolutely love mine and plan on "borrowing" some of the things you did.
After I teach myself how to sew, I'll have to post some pics of my pistol rig in the stickies thread.
I don't play pistol as a primary as much as I would like to due to not wanting to drag my team down in scenarios but I try to get a few hours with the pistol each game. All the info on the boards should help me squeeze in a few more hours each scenario.

Haha Defect, I almost can't blame you for not fully committing to it just yet. But I'll be honest, the more you play with just a pistol, it gradually becomes the only way to play... I put on a pod pack and pick up a regular marker now and it just BOTHERS me. I legitimately feel restricted and bulky. Most of my best games in the past 2 years have been while running a pistol; I got more elims at the Battle of Serenity Valley game at EMR with my Zeus, as a general, than I did at the Western Worrs game the following spring using my NT11. Even in the TTPL tournament I played in last year, I got the same amount of elims with the SA17 with leaky pierce seal (before I even did the top-loading mag) as I did with my automag.
When our captain first heard me talk about running pistol-only at games he gave me this WTF look, but having seen me play since then I think now he'd rather I run pistol lol...

I don't want to clutter your mod thread but I can't PM yet. Are you going to lvp or poco march/April? I know I heard of your team before and we've probably met lol.
My first trip up to EMR, a viper game I believe I ran with a tac 8 and overlord rx(both of which are down and I don't think I can tech them...) I found myself coming up behind the opposing team, taking several out either by mercy or tags, than getting into actual fire fights. I love having to think outside the box with 10 rounds against egos and angels tuned to the max.

Hey guys, been a while, just dropping by to add a quick update on some recent mods I did to the SA17, most of which were to the action itself.
Polished Hammer:
A generic enough mod for a semi-auto blowback marker, although the internals on these guns are notably more finished than say, a Tippmann 98. Started with some medium emery cloth with the hammer chucked up in the lathe, then worked at it by hand with 180, 220, 400, 600 grits, followed by a good hit with some Brasso. If you look closely you'll see that I not only polished the outside of the hammer but also the "step" that the tip of the sear catches. You have to be really careful with this, since if you round off the corner too much you're looking a runaway full-auto of the paint-blender sort, but it really improves the feel of the trigger pull.
Something I noticed while messing with this was that the INSIDE of the hammer, where the spring rides, was VERY rough/unfinished. It almost looked as if it had been drilled out with a chipped/dull bit, the walls of the bore were almost ridged. So I used a couple of small diameter flapper wheels on an extension and a cordless drill to get the bore as smooth as I could. You can still see vague marks on the bore where the ridges were but it's MUCH smoother now. Surprisingly enough, this made a noticeable difference in feel/tension when cocking the marker. I wouldn't be surprised if the spring coils were rubbing these ridges during the blowback part of the cycle and causing some drag/resistance. A worthwhile effort if you have the tools to get in there and do it.
Polishing the Sear:
This is something that a lot of people probably shy away from out of fear of screwing up the marker's operation, which is understandable. I happened to have a spare sear in a parts kit so I decided to go for it. The trick here is to put your sandpaper flat on a table or workbench and rub ONLY the surfaces of the sear that contact the hammer on it while keeping the sear flat and level so you don't round off the surface, ESPECIALLY the tip of the sear. Again, I used the medium emery, 180, 220, 400, 600, Brasso combination and was very happy with the results. The trigger pull was now buttery smooth. Please note from the pics the ONLY two surfaces you need to polish are the long top ramp and the short back face.
Softer Trigger Return Spring:
Well, I know I said earlier in this thread that there really isn't much wrong with the SA17 trigger pull... And to be honest, I was right. BUT, after a couple hundred rounds through the pipe at any given scenario, the stock return spring starts to feel stiff. I can't tell you where exactly the new spring came from, as it was prowling around loose on the bottom of my toolbox, just that it is notably softer than the stock one. You don't want to go TOO soft here either, as it will cause problems with the trigger not resetting on the sear.

If you run with a small hpa tank like a 13 or 22ci a stabilizer won' t be necessary. The . tank reg itself is enough to ensure consistency. CO2 is obviously a different story, but my recommendation is to spend the money on the hpa tank instead of the 100 dollar stabilizer. More bang for your buck that way imo.

We have a Cisco UC560 phone system with SPA 508G handsets. We are pretty unhappy with the speaker phone quality on these devices. Can someone recommend another phone that will work with this system and that has a good speaker?
3 Replies
May 4, 2011 at 4:42 UTC
Perhaps the 7900 series phones
although you may not even have to go with Cisco IP Phones. If the UC560 supports SIP (Which i think it does) then any IP phone from Avaya or Polycom should work just as well.
May 4, 2011 at 6:01 UTC
I was wondering about that as well. It is a SIP system for sure, but I didn't know if there were Cisco features that are piled on top that we'd need a Cisco phone to take advantage of.
May 4, 2011 at 10:40 UTC
the only features that the cisco phones have over other vendor phones with the UC500 series is the information that is included in the CDP packets that are exchanged. such as what Vlan the phone should be on, what vlan the PC should be on and how much power is needed with POE.

Blair Williams & Anya Olsen – The Centerpiece
Released: November 30, 2016
When kinesiology major Blair Williams starts to give her petite friend a soothing back massage, it's much to the delight of Blair's peeping husband Aaron Wilcox. After Anya undresses, and Blair disappears to get some massage oil, Anya grabs Blair's phallic glass centerpiece and fucks her pussy with it like a dildo. When Blair emerges moments later with the oil, and catches her husband stroking his dick to Anya's masturbation, Blair is none too pleased with Anya for getting him started, and she tells her to finish him off. Anya gets to sucking Aaron's cock while Blair licks Anya's tiny ass and pussy. The threesome activity intensifies when Anya climbs onto his cock, and they both eat Blair's pussy. The girls take turns cumming on Aaron's hard cock, until he loses his load and cums in their mouths!

Role of molecular genetics in identifying 'fine tuned' natural enemies of the invasive Brazilian peppertree, Schinus terebinthifolius: a review
- First Online:
- Received:
- Accepted:
Brazilian peppertree, Schinus terebinthifolius Raddi (Sapindales: Anacardiaceae), is a highly successful invasive species in the continental United States, Hawaiian archipelago, several Caribbean Islands, Australia, Bermuda, and a number of other countries worldwide. It also is one of only a few invasive intraspecific hybrids that has been well characterized genetically. The natural enemy complex of Brazilian peppertree includes two thrips and two psyllids that appear to be highly adapted to specific haplotypes or their hybrids. Successful biological control of Brazilian peppertree will require careful matching of the appropriate natural enemies with their host plant genotypes. The Brazilian peppertree model reviewed here could provide a useful framework for studying biological control agents on other invasive weed species that have exhibited intraspecific hybridization.

King's Council is chasing a progressive young entrepreneur -- whose business model directly counters the destructive and dirty energy policies foisted on C/S by Council -- out of town. How sad, how typical, how backward. When O When will C/S citizens awaken from this dittohead stupor?

Online Discount Marlboro Cigarette store sells Marlboro Red Short Cigarettes with free shipping fees no matter how many cartons you're going to purchase.
Blue Tip Cigarette blue tip cigarette because it is actually a great and simple method for give up smoking in case you would like to however the decrease in the intake of harmful substances inside the system is reduced drastically being nicotine the one chemical entering your system and realizing that will be the element that produces adiction. Many brands are found in the market nowadays and a few of these offer starter kits or blue tip cigarette trials which can be of good superior and suitability. These starter kits bring several parts including a blue tip cigarette or perhaps a red led which simulates a lighted up cigarette. I rather like the blue tip cigarette because its distinct and can be easily differenciated from the traditional tobacco cigarretes. The smokeless e-cigar allows the person to smoke without any reported unwanted effects plus plays a part in stopping stop the nicotine intake in his body. You will get a starter kit along with the cool blue tip cigarette whose blue led will be a distinctive feature among all of the blue tip cigaretteavailable for sale.

EXCLUSIVE: Grammy-winning hip-hop artist Q-Tip is partnering with Wolf Of Wall Street co-stars, Leonardo DiCaprio and Jonah Hill, to develop a scripted TV series loosely based on the rapper's experience during the Native Tongue era. There is no writer yet for the drama project, which will be produced through DiCaprio's production company Appian Way and is expected to be taken out to networks next week. Q-Tip, who has been friends with DiCaprio for a long time, is a founding member of the acclaimed hip hop group A Tribe Called Quest, which he started in 1985 with his high school friends Phife Dawg, Ali Shaheed Muhammad and Jarobi White. The drama project will draw from Q-Tip's experiences with the group and with The Native Tongues collective that A Tribe Called Quest was a member of, which brought together late 1980s and early 1990s hip-hop artists known for their positive-minded, Afrocentric lyrics. The show will reflect on the stories of their friendship and how their music played a part in culture then and influenced the music of today. Q-Tip is repped by CAA; DiCaprio is with LBI; and Hill is with WME and LBI. DiCaprio and Hill currently star in Martin Scorsese's The Wolf Of Wall Street, which is nominated for two Golden Globes on Sunday, best film – comedy or musical – and best actor, DiCaprio.
Leonardo DiCaprio & Jonah Hill Team With Rapper Q-Tip For Hip-Hop Drama Series

Ok..so who is writing? That's the most important thing for a tv mtg with networks. The rapper exec produced shows have already been around the marketplace 2x over and Starz is already shooting POWER. Movie star non-writing EP's does not a script sale make. Welcome to tv.
So to be clear… This is a loose idea, with no writer, no director, no studio, and no star?
Digging DEEP for headlines today.
No so vibrant.
You meant to say "not so vivrant."
Excellent, because when i think of rap or hip-hop I think of a short, fat jewish kid and the wimp from Titanic. Pass.
hiphop is long dead, who will watch it ?
Totally agree! Remember when the names of the people involved with a TV project included an actual writer. And by the way, all 3 of these guys have no real experience producing a TV show. I think TV execs buy these projects just so they can meet the famous non-writing folks involved.
Yes! Make this happen!
The documentary that Michael Rapaport did a few years back called "Beats, Rhymes, and Life" about A Tribe Called Quest covers all you need to know.
Why is everyone being so negative, two of the brightest minds in film are teaming up with a amazing rapper.
Hip-Hop has been declining for awhile now. Not the right time for this show.
Really looking forward to this show… good luck to Q-Tip and Leonardo in making this happen!
They have got the skills and talent to make a great show and people should be more supportive of these fellas and remember what they are capable of producing by their previous achievements!
So ummm who the is Jonah and DiCaprio are supposed to play?? Managers or something?? I find this random as hell.
Leo and Jonah saw Beats, Rhymes and Life on quaaludes and thought this would be the illest show. "Quaalude talk"

B.A., Geology - Western State College of Colorado, 1973
M.S., Geology - University of Wyoming, 1977
Ph.D., Geology - University of Wyoming, 1980
Research Interests
- Structural geology and tectonic evolution of mountain belts (fold-and-thrust belts)
- Structural controls on pluton emplacement in contractile (fold/thrust) tectonic settings
- Active tectonics and the geology of earthquakes (U.S. Northern Intermountain Seismic Belt and, most recently, the Himalaya)
Over the years, my research program has focused on various aspects of the structural geology and tectonic evolution of the Northern Rocky Mountains, focusing on the Sevier fold-and-thrust belt and Laramide province, as well as active tectonics of the Northern Intermountain Seismic Belt (Montana-Idaho). Recent (and ongoing) work in the Greater Himalaya (Solukhumbu District) focuses on the deformation/metamorphism of summit rocks on Mount Everest, the overall structural geology of the Everest-Lhotse-Nuptse massif, and structural/metamorphic discontinuities within the Greater Himalayan slab (with Dr. Mary Hubbard, MSU).
Southwest face of Mount Everest photographed in mid-April, 2012 from Camp II in the Western Cwm (uppermost Khumbu Glacier) during our expedition with Conrad Anker and The North Face climbing team (Everest Education Expedition - MSU/National Geographic/The North Face).
Bottom-to-top succession: Miocene leucogranite sills, Lhotse shear zone, Everest Series (North Col Fm.), Yellow Band, Qomolangma detachment, summit limestone pyramid. This is the top of the Greater Himalayan slab in the Solukhumbu Himalaya - the roof of the world!
I am accepting new graduate students in structural geology/tectonics for 2017-2018. I will be looking for a strong background in structural geology at the undergraduate level, evidence of field-based training and mapping experience, and a STRONG desire to pursue structural geology with a field-based project in graduate school.

ThumbPress is a little plugin I created to access the power of phpThumb (which is not little!) within my WordPress themes. The fancy thumbnails on my blog's home page and the header images at the top posts are created on the fly to required size and cached using phpThumb.
The new LivingOS Mu Theme has built in support for this plugin and will use it by default if installed instead of the simpler timthumb script. This theme also has the added benefit of an extra post write panel for setting the custom field settings below.
- unzip and upload into your wp-content/plugins directory
- change the phpThumb security password in phpThumb.config.php (see below)
- make sure the thumbpress/phpthumb/cache folder is writable
- use one of the functions below in your theme somewhere
- use the settings/thumbpress page to edit options or clear cache
Set the security password
ThumbPress uses phpThumb in high security mode. So before you do anything you should change the value of the parameter in phpThumb/phpThumb.config.php
$PHPTHUMB_CONFIG['high_security_password'] = "wquy98yw98qye"
This can be anything and you don't need to remember it. So make it long with lots of different chars.
Template Functions
tp_postimage(with, height, overlay_image, default_image, headerimage?)
This function provides logic and handling of post custom fields to create an <img> tag. Use it to create post thumbs in a loop or on a single post for a header image. The custom fields allow users to turn off the header for selected posts (see below). Returns full <img> tag.
tp_bookthumbs($amount=-1, $link_category = 0, $thumb_w=75, $thumb_h=75, $use_websnapr=0, $overlay_image)
Creates a list of thumbnailed links. It uses the image in the link image field and will if enabled use WebSnapr to create thumbs if image field is blank.
tp_thumbnail($fname, $width = 0, $height = 0, $over = ")
The function called by above functions for creating fancier thumbnails with an overlay image.
Returns just the url to use in an img src attribute.
tp_thumbnailburl(file, paramstring)
The interface to phpThumb
Simply passes src image and phpThumb parameter string to phpThumb. Retunrs url to use in img src attribute.
Post Custom Fields
To use the tp_postimage function add the following custom fields to your posts:
post-image : url of image to be thumbnailed
and these optional fields are for post header images:
post-image-url : image post head image links to (defaults to #)
post-image-title : title given to image link (i.e. when user hovers over image text is usually displayed)
post-image-nohead : if anything other than empty, turns of the post head for this post
Image Filenames and Paths
The source image can be any image url. You can change settings in phpThumb config to prevent images from off site if required. The overlay image parameter is the short filename where all overlay images are in thumbpress/images folder. e.g. "roundedmask.png"
<?php tp_postimage(280,280,'roundedmask.png',$def_image,0);?>
produces thumbnail 280×280 with rounded edge border by combining overlay
<?php tp_postimage(500,300,'',$def_image,1);?>
produces a header image for a post and processes custom fields
<?php tp_thumbnailburl($yourfilename, 'w=500&h=300&zc=1'); ?>
Access phpThumb direct with your own options string. Just leave the & off the front of the string.
I've been using this plugin for a while on my blog without problems, but phpThumb is a complex beast so don't expect me to answer all your questions. Help may best be found in the livingos forums.

While the whole city sleeps, Pappasallis is very much alive with food and music lovers.

Pappasallis is one of my favourite . I like to eat pizza there . It is situated in very best location.
59 Reviews
I had heard a lot of great things about Pappasalllis and finally got to try it a couple of weeks ago. We had the pizza delivered and it wasn't as hot as I would have wanted. Other than that, the pizza was simply delicious. The quality of toppings and the cheese was amongst the best you can get in Islamabad.
After finally trying Pappasallis, I do realize what the fuss is all about. Looking forward to dining at the restaurant soon and trying the pizza fresh out of the oven!

Few years back it was the place to go to in Islamabad. Now i am afraid the only thing worth eating they have are their pizzas. For me they are still the best in ISB. The rest is just not good enough.

How much are each set?
I just checked at Percussa, the Buy Now page says there's a waiting list so you'll need to sign up to get them. I'm not totally sure but I think they are like $200 for one, and get cheaper the more you buy.

Is discoloration (turning yellow) normal on the areas after liposuction?
Doctor Answers 2
Yellow appearance during healling
Bruising of the liposuctioned areas is common. The coloring of the bruises ranges from black and blue to purple and then often fade to a yellow hue. The numbness and soreness you describe is also common at this stage of recovery and will gradually improve. Sometimes numbness can persist for several months but does tend to lessen over time. Good luck!

METAGAL pc game Review:
A fairly hard megaman game. I also fell into the water, like a number of reviewers of said, but I didn't fall through the level.
Playing does remind me of megaman, and it's nintedo hard. Spikes still instantly kill you (Unless you took damage and are blinking.) I died pretty quickly on the first boss, which was not was I was expecting. I haven't played long, but it is fun – I'm just writing a review this soon to help balance out the two that found a glitch when they started.
Another review:
So far its aa really fun and enjoyable mega-man styled game. I saw a few reviews complaing about minor first release bugs, but if you ask me the game is polished and pretty damn impressive overall. With all the megaman nostalgia lately and a certain kickstarter that has thus far failed to deliver anything respectable its nice to see a fresh new game carying the torch.

Why I Write
Even though I have nearly thirty books in print, many of them on Kindle, I'm not a well-known author. I do have a small following for both of my mystery series, but it's a long way from any kind of fame. When I receive my royalty checks, sometimes I have to laugh they are so small.
So, why do I do it?
I can't seem to help myself. When I've finished writing a new Deputy Tempe Crabtree mystery I begin wondering what's going to happen to her next. Are she and her preacher husband going to continue getting along, or will there be bumps in their marital travels as there have been in the past? Will her son, Blair, make an appearance, or will we just hear in passing what he's doing in his pursuit to become a firefighter? What horrendous murder will happen in the town of Bear Creek? Will everything be peaceful on the reservation? And the ideas starting popping into my head. The one that will be out this fall, Bears With Us, began from things that were happening with my grandson who is a police officer in a mountain community.
The same thing happens with the Rocky Bluff P.D. series. Right now I'm reading the latest to my critique group and I have no idea what will happen in this beach community next or which police officer and his family I'll be showcasing, but I know that I will start having ideas about what might be happening in that little town on the coast. In the book that will be out soon, Angel Lost, Officer Stacey Butler is planning her wedding with Detective Doug Milligan--and of course, all will not go well. The one I'm editing now will feature Officer Gordon Butler. He's become a popular character among my readers and I thought it was time he had a starring role.
In some ways, these people in my head are more real and distinct than my family members. I know how each of them think and will react in certain situations. How can I leave them?
So that's why I keep on writing.
If you are looking for my books, use my name for the Tempe books and F.M. Meredith (also my name) for the Rocky Bluff P.D. books.

Marilyn, I enjoyed reading your post, and you are certainly not alone. There are many of us writing for the love of story and characters than for the monetary rewards or the fame. It would be great to be a household name, but I am happy working with the people who show up on the pages of my manuscripts.

Aww, I so get this. That's why I write, too. It's so important to do what we love, even if it doesn't give us worldly rewards.

I also love spending time with my characters in the settings I've created. And I relish the point at which they take over the telling of the tale, ordering me to get to my computer, put my fingers on the keyboard, and let them out to play.

BMW car, truck, or SUV enthusiasts have grown accustomed to a certain level of sporty handling when driving their 325Ci around town. While it's not hard to locate replacement parts for BMW vehicles, these days only the absolute best are required to fix your car or truck. Auto enthusiasts appreciate the luxury built into each BMW, and know that only top quality replacement 325Ci parts will suffice when your car or truck needs fixing. Anyone who operates a BMW knows that when it comes to maintaining their vehicle only the absolute best replacement parts will do.
You can't get the best combination of fuel efficiency and engine output without great fuel delivery parts. The fuel filter in your car or truck keeps tiny particulates that may be flowing from your gas tank to the fuel injectors out of the fuel supply. These particulates negatively affect how powerful and efficient the engine is in your BMW 325Ci, because it could clog injectors and/or reduce the octane of your fuel. When your BMW 325Ci fuel filter gets filled with the particulates that it is filtering, less fuel will reach the engine and you'll feel the same negative symptoms. That is why it is important to change your fuel filter every year.
Bring your 325Ci back to life with the highest quality repair parts from the experts at Car Parts Discount. At Car Parts Discount, we have live customer service members here with enough expertise to help you select the correct BMW 325Ci part for your needs. Trust in the value of the parts you get from carpartsdiscount.com and realize incredible savings on all your upcoming repairs. If your car or truck was built in 2006, 2005, 2004, 2003, 2002, 2001, then you will find the correct BMW 325Ci Fuel Filter parts right here.

Aiden, Jayden, Hayden, Kayden... Every kids gonna have the same name I swear.
Ashley (28) fiance Jake (25)
I forgot to mention the name Messiah. That's just weird to me. Princess is pretty damn awful too. Also, I'm a teacher and there's a 4th grader at my school named Prince Dancer. Ha.

I liked penelope before the stupid kardashian chose it as her daughters name. Luckily I am pregnant with a boy. My daughter was born at the end of 2009 and I named her Kierra(Key-era)... I thought it was unique and not too far out there. Now I am finding a lot of girls named Kierra. I'm afraid she might not be the only Kierra in her class. She does go by Kiki(which is what she calls herself). My son is named Drake and I have met a few others with the same name(but not too common) This one is named Kai(not too common where I live)
Charles, Harry, Donald, Joseph, John, Enrique.
I confess I'm not a fan of Jaxson or Jaxon. What's with the X. This reminds me of the phase in middle school that my younger sister went through when she insisted her name was spelled Suzyn (her name is Susan). i.e. It feels like something that was way cool in 1991. Totally tubular, dude!
I strongly dislike the name Harper. I'm Canadian and our PM's name is Harper. Whenever I hear the name I immediately think of him and how much I hate him. It's not a bad name, just a bad association lol
I also dislike last names as first names. It sounds so backwards to me!

There are so many names I dislike that it makes me feel like a negative person. Maybe I shouldn't have gone with the 60,000 baby name book because really I dislike about 59,000 of them. Obviously, naming your child is a very personal thing and if it makes you happy, great...except there are the obvious ones where the parents really don't seem think past the child being an infant. So my personal list would be:
Hashtag, Neveah, any name ending in -son for a girl, made up names, 'creative' spelling of 'normal' names, occupation or activity names (Hunter, Archer, Walker, Parker, etc...are there any Hikers out there), gender ambiguous names, masculine names for girls, feminine names for boys, names of places or things that have no immediate personal significance (like naming your child Bronx just because it sounds cool).first names that rhyme with last names.
Wow... My sons name was the first name mentioned. :( That's fucked up!
Uh it's punctuation question mark
