The slow death of the Bodum Bistro Automtic Pour-Over has left a void in the coffee maker space. The OXO On picks up the torch.
The OXO On is a 9-cup automatic coffee maker with a stainless steel thermal carafe and an easy to use LED interface.
- Microprocessor-controlled brew cycle replicates the pour-over method to produce 2-9 cups of SCAA-certified perfect coffee
- Water is heated and held at the perfect temperature for coffee (197.6-204.8 Degrees F)
- Rainmaker shower head evenly disperses water over coffee grounds for uniform saturation and full flavor extraction
- Intuitive LED interface features a backlit screen that displays the Coffee Maker status and freshness indicator
- A single dial allows you to program the number of cups and the 24-hour start timer
Another cool addition is the internal mixing tube, which blends the coffee as it brews and stirs as you move the carafe around.
For those who prefer a permanent filter (me), this Medelco works perfectly.
There's an interesting 12 cup version of the On for $100 more which includes a removable kettle for other beverages like tea, but I'm not a fan. The removable kettle isn't shaped well for pourover, and the Breville One-Touch Tea Maker is such a perfect product that I'd encourage you to spring for that instead.

If your excitement for writer/director Drew Bolduc's "Science Team" has dwindled due to a lack of updates, it's time to inject some extremely sticky excitement into your cinematic backside. The man himself recently sent over a brand new poster for the upcoming sci-fi flick. According to the filmmaker, the movie is almost in the can. Squeal with delight if you want to. I'm trying my best to hold one back right now.
In case you've forgotten, "Science Team" is the follow-up to Bolduc and Dan Nelson's cult favorite "The Taint." If you haven't seen this delicious slice of low-budget brilliance, then you should seriously consider correcting that problem soon. Very soon. Maybe by this weekend. That's your homework. This NSFW teaser should help set the proverbial stage.
Here's what the flick is all about:
"Science Team" is a completely independent sci-fi feature length motion picture produced and shot in Richmond, Virginia. The film was partially funded by crowd-sourcing through Indiegogo and is a great example of how high-quality films can be created with a micro-budget.
When Chip returns home to visit his beloved mother, he finds himself caught in the middle of an interstellar war between a telepathic space alien and a bureaucratic government organization bent on incinerating all alien life. Chip must fight to survive this ego-shattering drama of epic proportions.
Need more info about Drew Bolduc's "Science Team"? Then swing by the movie's official website. There's plenty of stuff to keep you occupied until more info bubbles to the surface. In the meantime, take a peek at the new poster below.

I was just browsing on line, looking at some art by Egon Schiele, and this illustrator/artist court my eye.
I have never heard of her before, and just by looking at one of her images, like this one, reminded me a lot of my own work!
The drawing looks so free and I love the use of materials that are in it... the tea staining, the ink drips, very like my own work... Stella is someone I will be looking out for in the future.

Back in the day (a few years ago) when blogging first became the rage, we all hopped on to share our knowledge of our own little worlds. As we and the internet developed, blogs turned into websites, digital magazines and multi social media communities. However, there are a few home design bloggers who have stayed true to their mission and have developed their purpose into rich, heart-felt sites. Some write as if their blogs are diaries, others research the history of their focus and even others have developed the art of 'the blog' into a guide for living. The following three home design bloggers share the fact that they pour their heart and soul into their work and give of themselves selflessly.
Design the Life You Want to Life
Canadian, Lynn Knowlton has been blogging for a while, now. She talks about design, living a good life, her family, her treehouse … her family's journey through cancer. She poetically rambles from the heart in her own unique style about such things as Christmas Made Easy or How to Knit a Chunky Wool Blanket ( I am SO doing this). She doesn't blog every day or every week for that matter. If you sign up for her newsletter you'll get the occasionally shot of Lynn and after you've read it, you'll click off, take a deep sigh of satisfaction and happily await until the next notice appears in your in-box.
Favorite Thing
It's ALL great, but this tree house the Knowlton's have going on is fabulous! They live 2 hours northwest of Toronto and offer this as a vacation rental! It's just a good example on how this family lives their life. They build, explore and enjoy. There is a lot to be learned here. A lot.

The Entertaining House
Jessica Gordon Ryan has ALWAYS been a magnificent writer. As a matter of fact, if her name sounds familiar, it is because she is a long standing contributor on The Daily Basics. Jessica has recently had a site facelift that is absolutely stunning. It is clean, easy to navigate and filled with wonderful life notes on Travel, Lifestyle, Fashion, Decor, Food, Entertaining and Books.
Favorite Thing
We're partial to her posts on Fashion & Decor, although EVERYTHING Jessica writes is stunningly enchanting. She'll introduce you to party planners, how to use shocks of color in decorating and even how to make seasonal transitions in your home!
Check her out: Jessica Gordon Ryan
My Soulful Home
Kelly over at My Soulful Home brings her own musings, projects and recipes out in full force. This magazine stylist talks about some basics – How to Decorate a Bookcase, Christmas Mantel Decorating Tips and DIY topics ranging from Re-purposing a Sweater & Napkin into a Pillow to Spray Paint Monogram! She is a real, honest to goodness home design and craft blogger.
Favorite Thing
Kelly is all about Christmas at this time of the year and you will be, too, when you read her post on Christmas crafting with Sabrina Soto for the kick off "Make it with Michael's Pinterest Party"! One of the perks of being a blogger is that you develop relationships with brands and friendships with other bloggers that give your great experiences and super material for your blog! Share in her journey!

I went into Start / Programs / WinSCP3 / RSA Key Tools then ran the PuTTYgen application. I loaded my OpenSSH SSH2 private key file (id_rsa). PuTTYgen told me it had successfully imported it. I then hit save private key. I saved 2 copies: 1) SSH1 (RSA) and 2) SSH2 (RSA).
Basically the same thing as above happened. WinSCP doesn't appear to like my keys and I get prompted for a password. See below for the log. Where am I going wrong?

Is there any thing that will help of or I can do?

The venerable 12V electrical system is slowly being supplanted by higher-voltage architectures, especially in hybrids and electric cars. Some of those new systems operate at voltages as high as 450V and 600V, enabling the vehicles to run starter-generators, while minimizing the windings in the electric motors that drive the wheels.
This, in a way, nicrely sums up why we need better power devices that meet the higher-voltage higher current requirements.

Spider Droid has co-opted a game that I received for Christmas called Risk Legacy. It's much like the Risk game of the olden days, but this game changes every time you play it. You get to name countries, dominate territories permanently, etc. He wants to play it ALL the time. I enjoy playing with him as well, but the girls do NOT enjoy playing it. Amy does not understand how to play it, despite numerous tutorials. So Spider Droid has long wished to invite some of his friends over to really get into the game. Today is that day!

Pelham tries creative problem solving in committee
Town council applied a new approach to an old issue when it tackled a site alteration bylaw Monday.
Reviewing comments on a draft bylaw during a committee-of-the-whole meeting, it applied a creative problem solving process. Mayor Dave Augustyn acted as a facilitator taking suggestions from councillors and filling out paper sheets that were posted on council chamber walls.
They did it before an audience of about 70 people. The crowd overflowed from the council chambers while some people sat on the floor beside politicians.
A proposed site alteration bylaw has been a controversial issue in the town for more than two years.
Earlier this year staff prepared a draft bylaw. Council invited comments on it. More than 50 pages of comments and letters were included in Monday night's agenda.
Augustyn and chief administrative officer Darren Ottaway explained the problem-solving process called Simplexity thinking.
It was outlined in educational sessions to councillors on Friday and town staff on Monday by professor Min Basadur from the Michael G. DeGroote School of Business at McMaster University.
The mayor and councillors listed pros and cons of a site alteration bylaw such as berms made of questionable construction fill, risks to the environment, interference with farm practices, and questionable inspections.
By placing dots on handwritten charts listing 18 issues, councillors narrowed them down to a set of specific concerns. They included eliminating unwanted berms, avoiding risks of interfering with normal farm practices, inspection and enforcement that respected rights of property owners, protection of environment particularly water courses, and protecting roads.
Staff will bring recommendations on how to deal with them to council's next policies and priorities committee on Nov. 19. They may or may not include a site alteration bylaw, said Augustyn. They may be able to deal with the issues without one.
Ottaway said the final list of items from Monday's meeting will be posted on the town's website: www.pelham.ca.
Residents are welcome to comment on them by "e-mail, snail mail or on the back of a napkin," he said.
"We just ask that they identify themselves."
Ward 3 Coun. John Durley said the problem-solving process did not overlook comments made on the draft site alteration bylaw.
"We drew our suggestions from what was in those 61 pages of letters and comments," he said.
• Being farmers, we are extremely concerned that this proposed bylaw will cause regulatory and financial hardship for us to be able to grow nursery stock on our own lands. — John and Linda Suk, South Pelham Nursery
• This proposed bylaw giving the Town of Pelham almost complete control of all property under their jurisdiction goes far beyond the scope of the original request. In fact, the way the draft bylaw reads, it reeks of Communism. — Wayne and Lorraine Patterson
• It has been six years since residents first asked for a site alteration bylaw to be created for Pelham. The town continues to deal with questionable dumping/berm building because no such bylaw yet exists. Please get this bylaw passed as soon as possible. — Carolyn Botari
• Let's not get carried away with overzealous laws being applied across the board to everyone making it more costly and time consuming to do anything. — Dennis Bering
• As a rural resident and farm owner, I would like to express my approval of the revised draft of the site alteration bylaw. It is detailed, clear and thorough. It provides equanimities in the evaluation and decision-making process for all citizens. — Brian DiMartile
• The Town of Pelham needs a site alteration bylaw in order to protect its residents from unscrupulous landowners. It would give us reassurance that we will not have dumping of hazardous material or alteration of neighbouring land that could cause drainage problems. — Thelma and Lou Poolsaar

Mark S. Dion FALU FLMI
Vice President Underwriting Rules Development and Education
US Facultative Underwriting
Historically low cost and readily accessible
Routine requirements vs. order for cause after a disclosure
Scored by points
Not identical to states point system
Points adjusted by severity of the infraction and time since conviction
Often only one violation is assigned points if multiple infractions for a given day
Usually concerned about recent activity, often last 3 years only
Sum up the number of points, enter the table, assign the flat extra
Flat extras assigned to cover additional risk
Age & Gender differences
Current underwriting practices - a quick review
Reckless driving
Moving violations
Medical history
Other external cause death risk
"Scoff laws"
Major, minor, accidents, and suspensions
Newer focus
Poor equipment maintenance, lapse risks, risky behavior?
Inattentive driving, texting, phone calls
Seat belt use and risk taking behavior
Interaction with other courts, some exclusivity
Often the only insight to interactions with law enforcement
And various court systems
License is suspended, no apparent violations, why suspended?
Child support
Criminal activity
All cause mortality, not simply accident profile
DUI triggers a different type of underwriting investigation
If they aren't paying their taxes or child support, what risks do they represent?
Looking beyond the rating table
We don't necessarily know what individuals were stopped for
State variations in severity and application of tickets, sanctions, fines and suspensions
Variations in retention of records
Some insights to other court actions through Administrative Withdrawals and Suspensions
"The agent says the suspension was for failure to pay child support…"
If a person is stopped and ticketed for multiple violations are they different than someone who only gets one ticket?
And the biggest challenge… where is our empirical evidence?
So now we move on to the RGA-LexisNexis MVR Mortality Study
Structured information and codes don't tell the whole story
RGA Re approached LexisNexis about doing a joint study
Saw need for a large-scale MVR Life Protective Value Study
LexisNexis is one of the largest providers of MVR records to the insurance industry
LexisNexis provided the data
Random sample of 7.4 million MVR requests made from 2006-2010
Nearly all automobile insurance applicants
Approximately 73,000 deaths were identified using the SSMDF
Data included:
MVR request date
Basic demographic data of the applicant (gender, birth month/year)
Motor vehicle infractions and dates of infractions
LexisNexis proprietary Standard Violation Codes (SVCs)
Month/year of death for deceased individuals
Goal of Study: Quantify the additional mortality risk of applicants with adverse driving history and assess the protective value of Motor Vehicle Records (MVR's) in life underwriting
RGA assigned a severity to each violation. "Major" violations include:
Alcohol or substance related infractions
Excessive Speeding (> 30 mph above speed limit)
Suspended, withdrawn, revoked, surrendered or cancelled drivers license
Failure to provide proof of financial responsibility
Failure to appear in court
Reckless or negligent driving
Mortality Study
Study Period 2007-2010
Expected mortality based on most recent U.S. Population Life Table
Results are relative mortality differentials based on study A/E's
Includes all-cause mortality
Significant mortality differences found for those with "major" motor vehicle violations relative to aggregate levels (true across ages and gender)
Mortality increases as the number of violations (regardless of the type of violation) increase
Mortality increases as the number of "major" violations increase
Prevalence of "major" violations varies significantly by age
Overall, the extra mortality risk present is probably better represented by a mortality multiple (i.e., table rating) rather than a flat extra mortality load.
MVRs likely provide positive protective value across a wide spectrum of ages at relatively low face amounts.
Basic Assumptions
10-year actuarial present value model
5.5% discount rate, 6% annual lapse rate
Mortality = 100% of the 2008 VBT Select & Ultimate table
Mortality Savings = A * B * C * D where
A = PV of death benefits expected to be paid for policy
B = Relative mortality differential for those with "Major" violations vs. those without
C = Prevalence of applicants with adverse or "Major" violations
D = Exclusivity of information provided by MVR leading to adverse UW decision
Savings are then compared to the cost of the MVR
Break Even Face Amount
Min face for mort savings to exceed cost of the MVR
Assumes $9 MVR and 25% exclusivity
Savings/Cost Ratio
Ratio of the mortality savings to the cost of the MVR
Assumes $9 MVR, $250,000 policy and 25% exclusivity
Required Exclusivity
Min exclusivity required to offer positive protective value
Assumes $9 MVR and $250,000 policy
Accidents (though prevalence is actually low)
Criminal complaints (prevalence is low)
Alcohol & drug related violations
Unlicensed driver – includes driving while suspended or revoked
Administrative withdrawals
License suspended or revoked
Reckless or careless driving
Speeding in excess of 35 miles an hour over the limit
Descending order of significance for single violations
Our traditional approach of rating MVR by flat-extras is probably not the best method
Debits and credits, the mortality multiple, numeric rating system works well
MVRs are not merely indicative of accident profiles, they are useful in identifying all-cause mortality
Consider the DUI, once it appears on an MVR, the case becomes an alcohol use case
On the upside elderly applicants with some degree of significant MVR history show better than expected mortality
Surrogate for cognitive testing anyone?
More than 3 major violations of any type suggests a moderate substandard rating is called for
Early results and some client validation suggests the rating can grade down over time, but not in less than 3 years
Some take away points
Time-specific analysis
Years since last violation, DUI, etc
Number of violations in previous __ years
Violation specific analysis
Past Accidents
Speeding Violations
Moving Violations
Administrative withdrawals
We're open to discussion!

Story story-How I became an Expert Patient!
I would like to introduce myself -10olive, which is what I choose to call myself here, just because I can Plus, it is more confidential for me, as it allows me to express myself fully without revealing my identity, which is very important for me because not all my family and friends know that I am positive. So that's me and I intend to be here a long time
I have had a very challenging but yet interesting time living with HIV, and I am happy to say I have finally found a comfortable place to share my story for free, in a safe and confidential place without revealing my identity, because I am not ready yet. When I do feel ready, I will reveal my identity but if I don't, I wont and that's okay too.
I have always wanted to share my story to educate and inform others who may need resources that I myself have used, to help others who may identify with me or may have had different experiences and may also want to share and just because sometimes it helps to talk/share so
Watch this space.......

I'm soooo sorry for not posting anything for a while.. You know... flying, friends, parties :) no time LOL .... but I'll try to make a one-post-update.
My February roster looks like that :
1) 19 hours layover in Frankfurt
2) Turnaround to Iran
3) 33 hours layover in London
4) 30 hours layover in Sydney
5) 35 hours layover in Dublin
6) Turnaround to Karachi
7) Turnaround to Cairo
So let me tell you something about every one of those flights:
Frankfurt : Flight was nice and easy. I flew with 3 of my friends which made the flight much more fun. We stayed at the hotel that is about 15 minutes drive from downtown so me and 2 of my friends decided to go out at night and see a little bit of the city. We had fabulous dinner at one of the traditional German restaurants and we've seen only a little bit of the town, because we were to tired and to cold to walk much more.
Iran : ehhh nothing special ... just regular flight without any unusual events.
London: yeah... two words : FERRY FLIGHT !!! Let me explain... Ferry flight is an empty flight that still needs to be operated by minimum crew. So the deal was that the Royal Family of Abu Dhabi, requested this aircraft to fly them back from London to Abu Dhabi... The aircraft was throughly cleaned and prepared to have them on board, so me and the rest of the crew had to deliver this aircraft to London.
Just imagine... 7 hours of doing nothing... we just slept and watched movies ...nice !!! After we landed, 4 Cabin Managers, 4 Food and Beverages Managers and 12 FJ ( first and business class operating cabin crew with Inspired Service training) took over the aircraft to fly the Royal Family back to Abu Dhabi... that's what I call first class service !!!
On our way back we operated a regular flight.. but it was quite easy and chill .... so no problems encountered there .. thank God .. LOL
Sydney: I'M IN LOVE WITH AUSTRALIA !!! seriously.... I've never seen this many different shades of green in my life. After being in AD for past 3 months and seeing the deserts and sand everywhere... going to Sydney reminded me of what I miss the most - the green nature !!!
The weather was sooo bad in Australia.. nobody expected to see so much rain there... but they needed it because it was a dry season for them... and the forest fires were getting out of control.
I had one of my closest friends on the flight so we had a lot of fun together... we went to see town and later at night went to the clubs and bars and just seen the night life of this fabulous place.
The best part about this layover was the hotel- Double Tree hotel.. let me tell you... my window view .... WOW : the Opera house itslef and the ferry boats and the harbor bridge... couldn't ask for more.
The flight was really long but really easy at the same time. I'd do it any time !!!
Dublin: ohhh.. what a nice place.... easy flight... great crew... pure pleasure.
Me and about 6 of the crew members went out to a great night on town.. had a great dinner, went to a pub to have a nice Guinness beer.. and came back to the hotel a little tipsy LOL.. don't worry... we still had a lot of time before our return flight to get sober LOL. The rule at our airline is that we can't drink within 12 hours before the flight... sometimes they even do random alcohol tests... like my friend last week went to his flight and at the briefing they asked the whole crew to have the test done. You never know when it will happen to you.. so better not drink within those time limits.
Karachi: easy.. quick and painless LOL
Cairo: I was pulled of a home standby to operate this flight... so I was totally unprepared on what to expect. I heard some horror stories about Cairo flights, but mine was totally fine. The crew was quite good... the pax also...no medical emergencies and no security issues LOL quite a good flight.
I'll try to keep you all posted on my future randevouz !!!!
For now enjoy some pics from my earlier mentioned flights :
Sydney- right before landing
Sydney- view from my hotel window
Sydney- at the galley

Best restaurant in Temple Bar area !!!

Thanks for the update. You got to go a lot of good places! I must say I'm very surprised at only 30 hours' layover in Sydney... that's a very long flight isn't it?

StreamGuys Launches SaaS Service for Live Podcasting and Video Stream Repurposing
StreamGuys 'IsMyStreamUp' automated monitoring service.
StreamGuys, a content delivery network and streaming media provider, will launch new video features in its cloud-based SGrecast live stream repurposing platform.
In addition to attracting video-centric customers, SGrecast is appealing to radio broadcasters expanding their offerings with video. Co-exhibiting with technology partner ENCO, StreamGuys will showcase the expanded SGrecast as part of its software-as-a-service (SaaS) streaming platform, and will demonstrate the integration between StreamGuys and ENCO solutions across TV and radio.
"Whether sporting events, daily talk shows or worship services, today's audiences expect more options for live podcasting and programming, and SGrecast enables quick repurposing of valuable material for any streaming video or audio producer," said Eduardo Martinez, Director of Technology, StreamGuys. "Our new video support is also ideal for expanding the reach of radio broadcasters who are augmenting their programming with multi-camera live video experiences through solutions such as ENCO's Visual Radio platform."
Able to ingest a wide variety of streaming protocols and codecs, SGrecast uses StreamGuys' transcoding technology to automatically convert audio to the formats and bit rates appropriate for use in live syndication. Using SGrecast's new recording mechanism, audio streams are recorded in their native formats. On the video side, SGrecast also provides transcoding technology for live syndication, and is capable of recording live RTMP, RTSP and HLS streams for conversion to mp4 files. A full suite of scheduling tools enable fully-unattended operation, while integrated publishing to RSS feeds, automated delivery and compatibility with popular syndication services streamline distribution.
Specific to audio, SGrecast allows users to quickly and effortlessly turn linear programming into on-demand content. For example, SGrecast records live streams into podcasts and makes them available for download, distribution or rebroadcast within minutes. Enhanced rebroadcasting tools – also newly available for audio streams – enable users to specify when and where content will be automatically replayed, while new social media integration enables instant sharing of recorded content on social networks including Facebook, Twitter and more. These on-demand and rebroadcasting tools will be incorporated into the video application in the future.
"By fully automating stream archiving and repurposing, SGrecast enables media organizations to maximize their monetization opportunities across more delivery channels while freeing staff from repetitive, manual processes – thus enabling them to spend their time on more valuable tasks," said Martinez. "Plus, as a cloud-based service, SGrecast eliminates the headaches and costs of purchasing and maintaining on-premises hardware, while letting customers leverage StreamGuys' renowned reliability and best-in-class service."
SGrecast's new video capabilities are supplemented by recent enhancements to StreamGuys' HTML SGplayer multimedia player, which now offers a grid-based thumbnail display of on-demand assets for viewers to select, and StreamGuys' podcast hosting service, which automatically delivers podcasts to subscribers and streamlines publishing and syndication.

Formidable Pro is now available and it is a tremendous productivity booster for internet programming. When I first started my first real full-time programming job, they gave me a program that had many, many forms and many alternative controls. It depends upon what sort of recreation it's. Educational games are great for younger kids though they shouldn't spend all their time on it. But any sport that encourages delinquent conduct is definitely a horrible thought. Paid programming tv exhibits could be totally-produced utilizing desktop equipment, making the cost of producing a present way more economical than previously.
I took a few CS courses in school they usually did the truth is prepare me for an entry-degree programming job, which I parlayed right into a profession. So it is important that you learn to do create this interplay properly in your preferred programming language/tool. It teaches you unhealthy habits, and would not train you the core programming techniques (memory allocation, inheritance, multi-threading, and so forth.) Some of that's executed automatically, and is managed, with VB. C# evolved from C++, which advanced from C, which eveolved from meeting, which developed from binary.
Some students are conscious and thus try to bridge this gap, others trust the specialised course supplies hoping things will click on and find yourself finishing CS with no programming abilities. You must also most likely keep away from jokes – you by no means know, what kind of humorousness does the employer have. I suggest not worrying about GUI's proper now and as an alternative specializing in programming on console primarily based functions. The predominant downside with freelance programming is that you can be competing against lots of extremely skilled folks from places like India – which tends to drive down wages.
Okay I'm 14 happening 15, I really wish to learn language codes and every little thing there's to programing however I have no clue where to begin at all. It advanced right into a programming language that simpletons like me may perceive, use, and apply to make one thing do one thing. Long before the spreadsheet utility Visicalc was a gleam in Dan Bricklin's eye the most important and powerful application for small computer systems was the BASIC programming language. Also, this language is kind of highly effective and quick, however the issue is that it suits solely Microsoft merchandise.
The implication is that there is a large population of people for whom programming can be an acceptable profession if only they could entry the education and coaching that is at present closed to them. I'm learning two languages nearly at the similar time, I begun one before the opposite so it is somewhat simpler, as I'm able to learn code, I'm not the most effective at writing it however I can read it; I guess it's a step in the appropriate course.

I've sent several emails to Sean requesting access to full versions of this game. I have purchased this game a total of 4 times.
I still have the email giving me access to the full version from 2010. But of course the link is no longer valid.
I think it is totally unfair that I pay for something and I can not have access to it when ever I want it
I just PURCHASED a full version of Conquest AGAIN.
I've bought it so many times, I would like to put it on all my computers in the house. My husband and I love playing each other and bought this game to many times. UGH!!!
Writing and requesting access each time I get a new system seem totally unfair. There has to be a better way of being able to get a new system and not have to WAIT forever for someone to respond to emails requesting access to a game that has already be bought several times over.
Sean, If you are actually out there, HELP ME please!?!?!?!

I hope this helps you! I'd say Dropbox on ALL electronic devices is my Must-Have! :) What are yours? Link up with Sabra and share!

Hello there, this week I challenged myself to create something involving as many dies as I could manage as being a stamper, I normally go for stamped images. I did use stamping though – to make the paper I die cut from!
Here's What You Need:
Kaisercraft Single Clear Stamps – Diamonds, Honeycomb, You!
Distress Inks – Shades of Pink, Yellow, Blue and GreenWhite Card Blank or make your own
Water Mister
Here's How To:
· Make your decorated paper to die cut. I used odd pieces of manila cardstock leftover from previous projects which I saved as you never know when they'll come in useful! I applied patches of Distress inks to the craft sheet, a light and a dark in each colour and misted with water then pressed the card in to pick up the ink.
· When the card had dried, I then stamped on the pattern images with the same inks in the darker shade on the pink, blue and green coloured card. The yellow, I applied Wild Honey Distress ink with the dotty stencil.
· I then die cut the rose flourish from the green card and the rose section only from the same die from the pink card, together with a further rose using the larger rose die. I layered these up for a 3D effect.
· I die cut the largest ornate frame from the yellow card. I also die cut some butterflies from the blue and pink card and stamped the sentiment with the moss ink on a scrap of the green card and hand trimmed this.
· I used the dot stencil with Spun Sugar Distress ink on the card blank to add interest and then assembled the card as you see using a mix of double sided tape and foam pads for extra dimension.
I'll see you again next week and don't forget to check out the Challenge Blog later as a new challenge goes live at 8am today.

The London-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights and the Local Coordination Committees, a group that documents anti-regime protests, said the latest shooting occurred in the central city of Homs. The groups said most of it took place late Wednesday night, after many Muslims attended a special prayers during the Muslim holy month of Ramadan.
Muhannad al-Hassani, who heads the Syrian Organization for Human Rights, another rights group, said that Assad's crackdown also killed nine people elsewhere in Syria on Wednesday. With the Homs killings, that brought the day's toll across the country to 18.
In Washington, U.S. officials said the Obama administration is ready to make an explicit call for Assad to leave power.
The timing is still in flux but preparations are in place for the White House to issue a statement Thursday demanding that Assad step down, the officials said. This would be accompanied by an announcement of new sanctions on the Assad regime and followed by an on-camera appearance by Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton to reinforce the U.S. position, the officials said.
The officials spoke on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to discuss the matter.
Assad has unleashed tanks and ground troops in an attempt to retake control in rebellious areas. The military assault has escalated dramatically since the start of the holy month of Ramadan in August, killing hundreds and detaining thousands.
In New York, U.N. Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon spoke to Assad demanding the immediate end of all military operations and mass arrests, according to a statement issued late Wednesday by the U.N.
In response, Assad said that military and police operations had stopped, the statement said.
"We hope the news are true," said rights activist al-Hassani when asked about Assad's comment. "The situation is still difficult."
A Homs-based activist told The Associated Press that intense shooting continued all night until sunrise Thursday. He added that in addition to the heavy machinegun fire at least two explosions were heard in the city.
"We didn't sleep last night. The president said operations ended while about 20 people were killed yesterday," said the resident , speaking on condition of anonymity for fear of government reprisals. "Forces stormed neighborhoods and detained dozens."
The activist added that several people were wounded Wednesday when security forces opened fire at the Fatima mosque in Homs' western suburb of Waer as it was packed with worshippers.
State-run news agency SANA said four gunmen stole cellular telephones from people who were at an Internet cafe in Waer. The report said the owner of the cafe fled to a nearby mosque as gunmen chased after him, opening fire inside and wounding six worshippers.
With tension rising, the United Nations said it has temporarily withdrawn about two dozen "nonessential" international staff from Syria because of security concerns. U.N. deputy spokesman Farhan Haq said Wednesday that some family members of U.N. staff have been relocated to other countries.
The government insists its crackdown is aimed at rooting out terrorists fomenting unrest in the country. In comments carried on the state-run news agency Wednesday, Assad appeared to lash out at the international reproach, saying his country will not give up its "dignity and sovereignty."
Human rights groups and witnesses accuse Syrian troops of firing on largely unarmed protesters and say more than 1,800 civilians have been killed since mid-March.
Also Wednesday, Turkey's Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan compared Assad to Libya's Moammar Gadhafi. "We made our calls (to Gadhafi) but unfortunately we got no result," Erdogan said. "The same thing is happening with Syria at the moment."
Turkey, a neighbor and former close ally of Syria, has been increasingly frustrated with Damascus' crackdown. But Turkey, Syria's most important trade partner, has not joined the U.S. and Europe in imposing sanctions.

Adaptive Thresholding
Adaptive thresholding is an image segmentation algorithm that appears quite resistent to varying lighting conditions.
This recent paper attempts to summarize and compare various image thresholding algorithms/techniques.
- 1 Global Value Adaptive Thresholding
- 2 Local Value Adaptive Thresholding
- 3 Unassessed Thresholding Algorithms
- 4 References
Global Value Adaptive Thresholding
(useful for barrel-in-sunlight detection)
Below are various algorithms for auto-thresholding, that is, the process by which a threshold value on a histogram of a grayscale image is chosen automatically so as to fall in between the "foreground mound" and the "background mound" of the histogram. Once this threshold value is chosen, the "foreground" and "background" components of an image can be distinguished by comparing pixel values to the chosen threshold value.
Otsu Thresholding
A somewhat technical overview of the Otsu algorithm can be found in section 2 of this paper. The same paper additionally proposes a modified version of the Otsu algorithm in section 3 that it asserts is less computationally expensive than the traditional Otsu algorithm.
Another paper's take on Otsu thresholding:
Ah ha! I've located the citation for Otsu's original paper:
- Sample Image Filter
- Original Source Code
- Cleaned up Source Code by David
I've been trying to analyze the source code of this image filter (not written by me) in order to figure out how the Otsu Thresholding algorithm works. I've had limited success, in that I have completely figured out how GrayLevelClass.java works. However I have not been able to decode OtsuThresholding.java which appears to contain the essential details specific to the Otsu algorithm. --David 21:14, 7 Nov 2005 (EST)
After several hours of work, I've finally decoded the Otsu algorithm! Not only that - I have written my own implementation of the algorithm which seems to produce good results when given sample images. To the right is a histogram augmented with a vertical red line indicating the thresholding level selected by the Otsu algorithm. In the near future I will incorporate the Otsu algorithm into the next ImageFilterDemo distribution. --David 16:01, 8 Nov 2005 (EST)
I've implemented the Otsu algorithm in the OtsuThresholdingAlgorithm class, included with ImageFilterDemo v1.3.1. The GrayscaleLevelHistogram filter in ImageFilterDemo v1.3.2 uses this algorithm to calculate a threshold value which is displayed as a vertical red line on the output histogram. --David
- The Otsu algorithm is computationally expensive, according to a number of papers I have come across. Admittedly a number of these papers were written in the 1980s or earlier, but it is still a potential problem to keep in mind.
- The Otsu algorithm assumes (like many histogram-based algorithms) that its input histogram is bimodal. If, in fact, this is not the case - for example if the Otsu algorithm is applied to the unimodal histogram of an image that does not contain the object of interest (like orange/white construction barrels) - the algorithm will perform poorly.
- I have yet to resolve this issue but am actively researching a solution. --David 19:10, 9 Nov 2005 (EST)
Maximum Entropy Thresholding
Once again, I've tried to analyze the source code of this image filter in order to figure how the algorithm its using works. --David 21:27, 7 Nov 2005 (EST)
Mixture Model Thresholding
Other Thresholding Algorithms
- Binary Clustering
- Metric
- Moment-Preserving Thresholding
- "Moment preserving thresholding is a parametric method which segments the image based on the condition that the thresholded image has the same moments as the original image." - taken from [1]
- Inner-class Variance
- Pun Thresholding
Local Value Adaptive Thresholding
(useful for line-on-grass detection)
Other Thresholding Algorithms
- Niblack Thresholding
- Bernsen Thresholding
- Abutaleb Thresholding
- Sauvola Thresholding
- PirahanSiah Adaptive Single thresholding based on PSNR ( www.pirahansiah.com )
Unassessed Thresholding Algorithms
- Lloyd Thresholding
- Ridler-Calvard Thresholding // Iterative Selection Thresholding
- Johannsen Entropy Thresholding
- Yen, Chang Thresholding
- Sahoo, Wilkins, Yeager Thresholding // Renyi's Entropy Thresholding
- Triangle Thresholding
- Kittler-Illingworth Thresholding // Minimum Error Thresholding
- Kapur, Sahoo, Wong Thresholding
- A Fast Algorithm for Multilevel Thresholding
- Has a decent overview of the Otsu thresholding algorithm
- Proposes a more optimized version of the Otsu algorithm. From a quick skim of the new algorithm's description, it might be more memory intensive than the Otsu alogrithm (since extra lookup tables are involved).
- Decompose algorithm for thresholding degraded historical document images
- Has a very useful set of tables (on the third and fourth pages) that list the various common thresholding algorithms that have been developed since 2005.
- Proposes its own interesting thresholding algorithm that involves analyzing an image and then choosing one of the historical thresholding alogrithms to apply to it, based on the image's characteristics. (This algorithm would take way too long to implement, even though it is very good.)

mondialisation, gouvernance et territoires compétitifs (Globalisation, governance and competitive territories)
La mondialisation ne doit pas nous faire oublier les échecs du développement. Les erreurs commises doivent devenir sources d'apprentissage. En premier lieu, la prise en compte du territoire comme « espace habité » nous permet de mieux intégrer dans la nouvelle théorie du développement les spécificités des sociétés concernées : leur mémoire et leurs propres savoirs. Globalisation should not make us forget the failures of the development. The made errors must become sources of training. Initially, the taking into account of the territory as "inhabited space" enables us to better integrate in the new theory of the development specificities of the companies concerned: their memory and their own knowledge.

Discount is an implementation of John Gruber's Markdown text to HTML language with some extensions from PHP Markdown Extra, Pandoc, and other implementations of Markdown.
Release Notes: This release fixes a long-standing defect where text blocks didn't absorb adjacent code lines, and updates the output format for failed tests in the test suite.
TorrentWatch-X is a Web-based tool to automate BitTorrent downloads. This is a fork of the torrentwatch project, now also with NMT support. It is meant to run on Linux and Mac OS X with different BitTorrent clients (for now, only Transmission is supported directly) and make it work in all Web browsers. It supports RSS feeds from a few torrent sites that offer TV shows. It can save torrent files in any folder, so any torrent client can pick it up. It can tell Transmission to save data in any folder. It can tell Transmission to stop when a certain ratio is reached. Authentication with Transmission is supported. Your own RSS feed can be added.
Release Notes: A new look and feel. iOS and Android (mobile) support. Improved performance. An updated guessing routine. Fixes for a number of smaller and bigger bugs.
Exponent CMS is a content management system for Web sites. It allows site owners to easily create and manage dynamic Web sites without necessarily directly coding Web pages or managing site navigation. Exponent uses an intuitive and flexible content editing system that allows Web pages to be edited on the page as it is displayed. This avoids the need for more back-end administration or for navigating many administration pages to add a simple line of text. You can simply visit the page you need to edit as if you were a site visitor, and make the change.
Release Notes: This release focuses on stabilization and fixing brokenness. It includes many tweaks to Ecommerce. Permissions (cascading) problems were fixed. It adds a new 'Data' view to the form module. There are minor updates to the install/upgrade process. 3rd party libraries have been updated, and many deprecated (1.0) files and functions removed from the package. There are many other tweaks and fixes.
TOMUSS allows multiple users to edit the same spreadsheet table with their Web browsers. It stores the complete history of the table modification. TOMUSS is intended to be used by teachers to enter ranking and to allow students to see their ranks.
Release Notes: The people search engine allow incomplete first name and surname search. Exporting to spreadsheet is easier. There is automatic completion of column names when entering a formula. If they are allowed, students can now enter values in the page displaying their information; these values are stored in the table with the other data.
Ultimix is a framework for developing Web-based applications (CMS, portals, ERPs, etc.) It includes multi-language support, permits management, an MVC mini framework, package structure, a template engine, a Javascript library, a simple GUI library, a caching system, and CAPTCHA.
Release Notes: An error in the 'cf_predefined_packages' was fixed. An error in the 'category::category_view' was fixed. An error in the 'security' package was fixed. The function 'cached_multy_fs->compound_file_get_contents' was added. The error in the 'user::user_controller' was fixed. An error in the 'jslib::grids' was fixed. An error in the 'gui::context_set->set_main_settings' function was fixed. The installation script was improved. The fields 'site' and 'about' were added to the 'user' package. The documentation was updated.
ZABBIX is an enterprise-class distributed monitoring solution designed to monitor and track performance and availability of network servers, devices, and other IT resources. It supports distributed and Web-based monitoring, auto-discovery, real-time monitoring, SLA assurance, trending, and more.
Release Notes: This release candidate contains a couple of fixes for blocker issues found in 1.8.6rc1.
The goal of Cheix USB is a Linux image executing from a USB storage device into a running OS, either Linux or Windows, so that the host machine does not have to support booting from the USB device. The root filesystem and boot partitions are read-only to preserve the USB device. All writes are done in a tmpfs. The only writes to the USB storage device are those explicitly made by the user. Cheix's ISO can currently be used to create either a bootable USB or a hard-drive installation.
Release Notes: This release adds a cheix_admin script and its docs. This script mounts the root file system read-write and executes a subshell. When you exit the shell, the script updates any caches and runs any normal boot-time executables that would update after an install, and then remounts the root fs read-only.
Cyphertite is a tar-like secure remote archiver. It deduplicates, compresses, and encrypts data prior to transmission, providing total privacy while reducing unnecessary wire traffic. It seamlessly supports IPv6 and IPv4 on a variety of platforms.
Release Notes: This release supports improved Linux integration by providing packages for two widely-used package formats: RPM and deb. In addition, the packages are hosted via yum and apt repositories. Currently, there are repositories tailored for Fedora 14 and 15 (i686 and x86_64) and Ubuntu 10.04 LTS and Ubuntu 11.04 (i386 and x86_64). See the wiki for more details about setting up and installing cyphertite from these repositories.
Click'n'Drag is a Python module that introduces the "Plane" class, which extends PyGame's "Surface" functionality, offering a hierarchy of mouse-sensitive, draggable Surfaces that can be used as sprites, windows, icons, or other interactive elements. In addition, the clickndrag.gui module uses clickndrag to provide basic GUI elements like container, label, text box, option list, and button.
Release Notes: gui.OptionList can now be embedded in more complex dialogs, with gui.OptionSelector as a drop-in replacement. gui.Container now shrinks horizontally when a subplane is removed. An 'insert_after' argument has been added to Plane.sub() to render related subplanes without others in between. Plane.sync() uses the offset between Plane centers now, avoiding alignment problems with dynamic Planes. gui.OutlinedText now saves and restores the center upon a text change. The default background color settings have been fixed. Wrapping at newlines has been added to gui.OkBox. There are several fixes for Python 2.6 distutils. The documentation has been updated.
BtBatStat is a simple OS X app that shows the battery status of your Apple bluetooth mouse and keyboard in the menu bar. It supports the Apple BT keyboard, Apple Mighty Mouse, Apple Magic Mouse, and the Apple Magic Trackpad.
Release Notes: This release fixes an issue where newer Apple Bluetooth keyboards were not detected. It has updated icons, and separate icons for the Mighty Mouse and Magic Mouse.
system-config-printer configures a CUPS server. It uses the CUPS API (bound to Python with pycups) to do this. The communication with the server is performed using IPP. As a result, it is equally able to configure a remote CUPS server as a local one.
Release Notes: The main change is to provide access via D-Bus to the logic for selecting the best driver for a printer, as well as other useful bits. Otherwise, there are some other small bugfixes.
moneyGuru is a personal finance management application. It allows you to evaluate your financial situation so that you can make informed (and thus better) decisions. Most finance applications have the same goal, but moneyGuru's difference is in the way it achieves it. Rather than having reports which you have to configure (or find out which pre-configured report is the right one), your important financial data (net worth, profit) is constantly up-to-date and "in your face". This allows you to constantly make informed decision rather than doing so periodically.
Release Notes: This release fixes a bug where setting a transaction in the future wouldn't de-reconcile it. It fixes a crash when changing the currency of an account with reconciled entries. It fixes the title of the Net Worth print view.
LemonLDAP::NG is a modular Web SSO based on Apache::Session modules. It simplifies the building of a protected area with a few changes in the application. It manages both authentication and authorization and provides headers for accounting, so you can have full AAA protection for your Web space. LemonLDAP::NG is a complete rewrite of LemonLDAP. All components needed to use it and to administer it are included in the tarball. However, all modules developed for LemonLDAP may not work with LemonLDAP::NG.
Release Notes: This minor release corrects bugs on notifications and on LDAP groups search.
Cromfs is a compressed read-only filesystem for Linux. Cromfs is best at archiving gigabytes of big files that have a lot of redundancy. It aims primarily at achieving a strong compression, even at the cost of memory and CPU time resources. It uses the LZMA compression algorithm from 7-zip and block merging.
Release Notes: This release fixes several compilation problems on gcc 4.6, and a few potential malfunction bugs in mkcromfs.
Grsync is a GUI for rsync, the command line file and directory synchronization tool. While it can work with remote hosts, its focus is to synchronize local directories.
Release Notes: This release fixes the following bugs: didn't check the "before command" exit status correctly; some rsync window titles weren't translatable; grsync-batch couldn't find the last session in the config file; and output text was not selectable after something initially failed. A check for empty new session names has been added. Differentiated exit status in grsync-batch. Auto window resize is not only done on the first window load. Brazilian Portuguese and Indonesian translations have been added. French, Spanish, and Russian translations have been updated.
gpfcalc is a GTK+ front-end for pfcalc, a pipe friction calculator using the Darcy-Weisbach equation. It computes major, minor, and static losses for flow through pipes or ducts. Up to 1024 pipes or ducts can be defined by specifying hydraulic diameter, length, roughness, flow rate, temperature, and elevation change. Data can be saved in a comma separated values file (CSV) and imported in the spreadsheet program of your choice for further processing.
Release Notes: A segmentation fault when pfcalc is not found was fixed. A bug was fixed to ensure that the number of lines read from a temporary file does not exceed the number of table rows.
FunkLoad is a functional and load Web tester whose main use cases are functional testing of Web projects (and thus regression testing as well), performance testing, load testing (such as volume testing or longevity testing), and stress testing. It can also be used to write Web agents to script any Web repetitive task.
Release Notes: This release comes with a new monitoring plugin system. You can define your own monitor agent or use existing third-party agents like Munin or Nagios. HTTP HEAD, OPTIONS, and any other methods are now handled, which means that WebDAV is supported.
Aspose.Cells is a .NET component for spreadsheet reporting without using Microsoft Excel. It supports a robust formula calculation engine, pivot tables, VBA, workbook encryption, named ranges, spreadsheet formatting, drawing objects like images, OLE objects, and importing or creating charts. You can also create Excel files using a designer spreadsheet, smart marker, or API and apply formulae and functions. It supports CSV, SpreadsheetML, PDF, and all file formats from Excel 97 to Excel 2007.
Release Notes: This release includes several enhancements regarding exception handling and chart's formatting modules. The performance was enhanced regarding printing worksheets and worksheet-to-image features. The grid controls (GridDesktop and GridWeb) now support loading Excel files with charts and shapes. The desktop control allows you to export MS Excel 2007 files with more than 256 columns. The ROUND function by Aspose.Cells now gives correct values. The INDIRECT formula was fixed when generated in XLSB format.
EMIPLIB is a library to facilitate the development of programs that need to stream several kinds of media over IP. The library consists of several kinds of components that can be linked together in various ways, thereby providing a flexible framework. It also provides some ready-to-use classes for the transmission of audio and video over IP. Streams originating from the same participant can be synchronized.
Release Notes: A bug in the libavcodec based video frame conversion component was fixed. A bug in the PortAudio based audio input/output component was fixed. A component was added to allow reading raw YUV video frames from a file. Support was added for audio compression using the SILK codec. The build system was switched to CMake.
Release Notes: This release makes a number of improvements to the print preview and rotated connection points.
ucpp is a C preprocessor. It is designed to be quick and light, but still fully compliant to the ISO standard 9899:1999, also known as C99. ucpp can be compiled as a stand-alone program or linked to some other code; in the latter case, ucpp will output tokens, one at a time, on demand, as an integrated lexer. ucpp operates in two modes: in lexer mode, ucpp is linked to some other code and outputs a stream of tokens where each call to the lex() function will yield one token; in non-lexer mode, ucpp preprocesses text and outputs the resulting text to a file descriptor. If linked to some other code, the cpp() function must be called repeatedly, otherwise ucpp is a stand-alone binary.
Release Notes: An issue was fixed in which "\r\n" carriage return characters were counted twice. Included files missing a "carriage return character" will no longer interrupt preprocessing. The problem where STD_MACROS and STD_ASSERTS were undefined when trying to build ucpp -DSTAND_ALONE was fixed. ucpp and libucpp are built with "make", by default.
USL is an object-oriented scripting language written with C++ and compiled on both Linux and Windows. Without a script provided, USL is an interactive interpreter and programmable command shell. There is no socket programming with USL. USL is intended for general purpose scripting in local systems.
Release Notes: This release adds the ability to customize the prompt-style and changes the way the shell is handled in memory.
fwsnort translates snort rules into an equivalent iptables ruleset. By making use of the iptables string match module, fwsnort can detect application layer signatures which exist in many snort rules. fwsnort adds a --hex-string option to iptables, which allows snort rules that contain hex characters to be input directly into iptables rulesets without modification. In addition, fwsnort makes use of the IPTables::Parse Perl module in order to (optionally) restrict the snort rule translation to only those rules that specify traffic that could potentially be allowed through an existing iptables policy.
Release Notes: Snort fast_pattern support and iptables multiport match support were added. The --QUEUE and --NFQUEUE modes were enhanced. Support was added for the conntrack module for connection tracking. Case-insensitive pattern matching was added via the --icase argument to the iptables string match extension. A couple of minor bugs were fixed.
jHepWork (jWork) is an environment for scientific computation, data analysis, and data visualization for scientists, engineers, and students. The program is fully multi-platform (written in Java). Programs can be written in the Java, Jython/Python, and BeanShell scripting languages. Matlab/Octave is supported for symbolic calculations. The program can be used to display data and functions in D and 3D. It comes with a friendly IDE and a code assist.
Release Notes: System.gc() was removed from the clearData() method in HPlot to speed up execution. The HChart class has several methods to set fonts. setNameX() and setNameY() were fixed. A memory leak in all canvases based on Graph.java was fixed. A new version of Protocol Buffers 2.4.1 is now used for jHepWork I/O. This will affect several classes from jhplot.io, such as PFile and PEventFile. A new Interplator class was added in jhplot.stat. This can be used to smooth data using spline and Loess (Lowess) Local Regression Algorithm. It can be applied to data P1D and histograms. FileRoot from jhplot.io was redone. One can navigate inside ROOT files using the standard method cd(dir1/dir). The getStat() methods of P1D, H1D, and P0D return a map/dictionary with detailed statistical information for these containers.
PHP Asterisk Manager Interface ( AMI ) supports synchronous command ( action )/ responses and asynchronous events using the pattern observer-listener. It supports commands with responses with multiple events. It is very suitable for the development of operator consoles and / or asterisk / channels / peers monitoring through SOA, etc.
Release Notes: log4php is now a required (and not an optional) dependency.
Creating, editing, and application of several effects to images using PHP.
A personal search engine for documents, files, images, and news.
