Free Throws Keeping Ferris In It
Ferris has hit 19-of-25 free throws in the game and that has somewhat offset a horrendous shooting performance from the Bulldogs who still are hitting less than 17 percent of their shots from the floor. The Lakers just got a basket from Alvin Storrs to extend the lead back to eight points at 47-39 with just under seven minutes.

StealthWatch Monitors and Protects
Service Provider Networks
The service provider industry must be vigilant in protecting its networks from online attackers due to the key role it plays in critical infrastructure and the number of businesses and individuals that depend upon it every day. Service providers must diligently protect their customers from distributed denial-of-service (DDoS) attacks, performance issues and malware originating from external attackers or other customers' networks.
Because they transmit large volumes of data to and from thousands of other organizations and users, service provider networks must remain open in order to conduct business – essentially, the network is their business. Due to this intricately connected architecture, conventional perimeter defenses such as firewalls are of little use. And due to the massive amount of traffic flowing through service provider networks, probe-based monitoring solutions cannot feasibly or cost-effectively scale to protect them.
Instead, service providers require next-generation solutions that provide a faster, more holistic view of everything that is happening across the network to safeguard both the internal environment and customer networks. As service provider bandwidth needs continue to grow – from 10 Gbps to 40, 80 and even 120 Gbps – the only viable solution for obtaining comprehensive visibility across their networks is flow-based monitoring.
Through massively scalable network visibility and security context, Lancope's StealthWatch System provides the in-depth network insight needed to protect and preserve the integrity and availabiliy of service provider networks. NAT support provides even more security and reliability by explicitly defining the source IP address responsible for network congestion or anomalous traffic. High-speed NAT logging is especially crucial now that service providers are considering using carrier-grade NAT (CGN), also known as large-scale NAT (LSN), which allows for literally thousands of users to share a single IP address and makes it easy for bad actors to hide behind NAT.
The StealthWatch System can also consume NAT information from the Cisco ASR 1000 separately from other flow records. This feature is especially beneficial for ISPs that need to capture just the NAT information from flow records in order to comply with the Communications Assistance for Law Enforcement Act (CALEA).
10 Ways Service Providers Use StealthWatch
- Achieve comprehensive, end-to-end visibility and protection from core to edge
- Protect customer networks from damaging DDoS attacks
- Detect anomalous behavior down to the exact customers and applications causing it
- Quickly prevent security problems such as botnets and advanced persistent threats (APTs) from infiltrating customer networks
- Generate and analyze flow data from areas of the network that do not inherently support it, eliminating dangerous network blind spots
- Improve network availability and performance by identifying top bandwidth users
- Accurately measure and bill back customers based on bandwidth usage
- Scale and extend monitoring to next-generation environments including high-speed, cloud and IPv6
- Support other efforts including forensic investigations, capacity planning and regulatory compliance
- Differentiate offerings through managed services supported by industry-leading network monitoring
|Service Provider Use Cases
|Telenor Norway
Telenor Norway, the leading telecom provider in Norway, is using StealthWatch for flow-based security monitoring and incident response across hundreds of network segments and services. StealthWatch monitors traffic for all major data centers related to Telenor Norway's mobile and ISP services, encompassing thousands of servers. With StealthWatch in place, the telecom provider's security teams receive greater visibility into data center networks, which they leverage for incident prevention, response and root cause analysis.
"Our network sustains more than a million packets per second in traffic," said Henrik Strom, head of IT security for Telenor Norway. "Any IDS solutions would be challenged to inspect all that traffic, much less alert us to potential risks. During our extensive evaluation of security monitoring products, StealthWatch was found to be the only solution that can scale to our needs in terms of network traffic and administration. StealthWatch enables us to proactively identify issues in our data centers that would otherwise have required tremendous effort to uncover."

WildBlue Communications
(A ViaSat Company)
Satellite Internet provider WildBlue Communications selected Lancope's StealthWatch System to enhance its network performance and security. By using StealthWatch to monitor its network, the ISP benefits from a complete view of network traffic, which is used to more efficiently isolate and resolve problems.
"Of all the solutions we evaluated, StealthWatch provided the most comprehensive view of our network traffic, along with the most flexible alerting and mitigation options. With its efficient, accessible reporting on all our network traffic, StealthWatch helps us tune our entire network for better performance and enhanced security. The easy access to raw traffic flows that StealthWatch provides makes general network troubleshooting much easier than expected."
|Edge Web Hosting
As a managed hosting provider that monitors and manages IT systems for more than 500 customers around the globe, maintaining a secure and reliable infrastructure is critical to the success of Edge Web Hosting. With multiple 10 Gigabit Internet connections and 2,000 managed servers, the hosting provider struggled to find a network and security monitoring solution that could successfully collect and analyze the amount of flow data generated on its network.
"With StealthWatch, we can process massive amounts of data very quickly," said Michael Jordan, director of network operations for Edge Web Hosting. "From there, we can easily obtain a comprehensive picture of what is going on within our network, and determine whether there are any issues that need immediate attention. StealthWatch was the only product that offered a holistic solution for monitoring our entire network."

You've probably seen the shows "Pawn Stars" or "American Pickers." Well, some businesses in the North Country say shows like that are hurting their bottom line. Our Brooke Selby has more on the potential reality these reality shows are having on the local economy.
NORTH COUNTRY, N.Y. -- They say one man's junk is another man's treasure.
"We look in barns, attics, cellars, garage sales, estate sales, dumps, dumpsters, wherever we can find it, that's where we go," said David Denton.
Local business owner David Denton has spent his lifetime building a career in search of a good find, suddenly he says those pickings seem a whole lot slimmer since reality TV shows about antique and pawn shops have become a hit.
Denton said, "Like 'Pawn Stars,' that's in Las Vegas. Las Vegas, not Fort Edward and the prices they can get there are a lot higher than here. The prices are regional."
Leaving many of the dealers up north feeling the reality of these reality shows at home.
General Manager of Glenwood Manor Antiques, Paul McMore, said, "It's kind of gives people a false sense of the value of some of the items."
Denton said, "It's getting harder and harder. Because of the overexposure, people have inflated their prices at estate sales and garage sales."
Some of these dealers have even noticed TV hosts on "American Pickers" literally jump over dollars to get to pennies.
"Mike was standing on a Stickley Mission Desk that was probably worth a couple thousand dollars to get to a hundred dollar ice cream advertising clock and there was never any mention of the desk."
But the exposure has generated interest from an unlikely fan base.
McMore said, "We're seeing a lot of interest with really young people, eight, 10, 12-years-old that want to collect and I find that exciting. I think the reality programs are instilling an interest in younger people."
At the end of the day, whether on TV or in up north, people are just trying to find another way to strike it rich.

Safety Rating Criteria
The 7 star safety assessment criteria for all airlines is as follows
Is the airline IOSA certified? If yes two stars are awarded; if not, no star is given.
What is IOSA Certification? The IATA* Operational Safety Audit (IOSA) certification audit is an internationally recognised and accepted evaluation system designed to assess the operational management and control systems of an airline. IOSA uses internationally recognised audit principles and is designed to conduct audits in a standardised and consistent manner. Airlines are re evaluated every two years. Registering for IOSA certification and auditing is not mandatory therefore an airline that does not have IOSA certification may have either failed the IOSA audit or alternatively chosen not to participate. *IATA (International Air Transport Association)
Is the airline on the European Union (EU) Blacklist? If no a full star is awarded; if yes then no star is given.
What is the EU Blacklist? A list of airlines banned from flying into European airspace due to safety concerns arising from alleged poor aircraft maintenance and/or regulatory oversight. Airlines banned by the EU may have a flawless safety record however the potential risk towards passenger safety is deemed by the EU as too high and a ban is put in place
Has the airline maintained a fatality free record for the past 10 years? If yes the airline are awarded a full star; if not then no star is given.
A fatality is deemed as the death of crew and/or passengers whilst on board the aircraft due to an accident. If deaths occurred through acts of terrorism or highjackings they have not been included. If an airline suffered a fatal accident through no fault of their own such as a runway incursion on the active runway (an incident where an unauthorized aircraft, vehicle or person is on a runway) this has also not been included.
Is the airline FAA endorsed? If yes a full star is awarded; if not, no star is given.
What is FAA endorsement? In the United States, the Federal Aviation Authority (FAA) has a list that bans countries (not airlines) from flying into American Airspace. The ban arises from a deemed inability to adhere to international aviation standards for aircraft operations and maintenance. According to the FAA Web site, "those that do not meet these international standards cannot initiate new service and are restricted to current levels of any existing service to the United States while corrective actions are underway." An airline or airlines from a prohibited country may have a flawless safety record however the potential risk to safety is deemed too high by the FAA to allow operations in American airspace.
Does the country of airline origin meet all 8 ICAO safety parameters? If yes TWO stars are awarded to the airline. However, if the one criteria that is below the average is so by less than 15 per cent it is considered a pass. If 5 to 7 of the criteria are met one star is awarded. If the country only meets up to four criteria no star is given.
What is ICAO and what are the 8 parameters? The International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) was created to promote the safe and orderly development of international civil aviation throughout the world. It sets standards and regulations necessary for aviation safety, security, efficiency and regularity, as well as for aviation environmental protection. The 8 ICAO audit parameters that pertain to safety are; Legislation, Organization, Licensing, Operations, Airworthiness, Accident Investigation, Air Navigation Service and Aerodromes. For more information on a particular country visit: http://www.icao.int/safety/Pages/USOAP-Results.aspx.
Has the airline's fleet been grounded by the country's governing aviation safety authority due to safety concerns? If yes an additional star will be taken off the total for five years from the time of grounding
Does the airline operate only Russian built aircraft? If yes an additional star will be taken off the total.
Full Service Carrier Rating Criteria
A full service airline typically offers passengers in flight entertainment,checked baggage, meals, beverages and comforts such as blankets and pillows in the ticket price. The seats generally have more recline than
a low cost carrier as well as more leg room. Full service airlines offer passengers the choice of economy or business class travel and on some flights premium economy and first class. The airlines in this category
will transfer baggage between flights and to alliance partners of which most full service carriers are a part (SkyTeam, oneworld, Star Alliance). Full service airlines often have a long history and are flag carriers
for their countries of origin.
The 7 star assessment criteria for full service airlines is as follows:
Seat pitch
1 star if 30 inch and greater across the airlines fleet in economy class. No star if less than 30 inch across the fleet.
1/2 star if mixed seat pitch across fleet (some aircraft 30 inch and greater, others less than 30 inch).
In Flight Entertainment
1 star if Personal Audio/Video On Demand (AVOD) across the fleet in all classes of travel. No star if no Audio/Video On Demand, shared cabin screens only or nothing at all.
1/2 star if mixed across airlines fleet (some of the fleet have AVOD some do not).
NOTE: If an airline has Audio/Video On Demand on all flights except for short routes of 2 hours or less they are still eligible for a full star
Website information
1 star if comprehensive information. No star if no English or incomplete information.
1/2 star if inconsistent information.
1 star if flat beds in business class on long haul routes. No star if no beds.
1/2 star if angled beds or a mixture of angled and flat beds across the fleet.
NOTE: For airlines that do not operate long haul routes and therefore do not need beds but have business class in a 2-2 seating configuration in single aisle aircraft they are awarded 1 star; seating configuration in 3-3 with the middle seat left free awards the airline a 1/2 star; if there is not enough information to be sure a 1/2 star is awarded.
1 star if provision of full meal in economy. No star if a passenger has to pay for meals and alcoholic beverages.
1/2 star if passengers have to pay for meals or if passengers have to pay for alcohol on international routes or if the airline does not offer alcoholic beverages at all regardless of religious beliefs.
NOTE: Provision of alcohol on domestic and/or short haul routes has not been rated as airlines have complex rules based around flight time, route and time of day.
Blankets and pillows
1 star if provided by airline or if passengers have to pay for blankets on domestic and/or short haul routes but they are available. No star if not provided or unavailable.
1/2 star if blankets need to be paid for on medium and long haul routes.
Editor's discretionary
Editors draw on their collective 150 years plus experience to evaluate airlines based on personal experience and/or extensive industry knowledge to award the final star.

[lastfm]Kenny Chesney[/lastfm] has the number-one album in the country with [lastfm]Hemingway's Whiskey[/lastfm]. Kenny talks about true fans when he says
that he thinks the business has changed. "Obviously, the business has changed. But I still believe that there are a percentage of people out there that want to…especially if they invest in an artist…if they're invested in an artist, they want to hear the investment the artist makes. And I still believe there's people out there that want to hear the record, what they're doin' and what they're sayin'. And, I know I do. I mean, do I buy songs off iTunes? Yeah. But I still want to hear some people's records that are comin' out this year."

More than Beads and Feathers
The University of North Dakota is proud to present the third series of More Than Beads and Feathers posters, featuring highly accomplished graduates from a variety of tribal affiliations and majors. The posters inform the general public, American Indians, the region, and nation about the UND experience for American Indians. The posters feature American Indian graduates of UND now making professional contributions and significant differences in their tribal communities and well beyond as a result of their education at UND.
The University has long been recognized as a national leader in American Indian higher education, with an array of American Indian related programs, student leadership development opportunities, and student support services. UND has a lengthy history of highly successful collaborations with the state and region's tribal colleges, and to date has over 3,000 American Indian alumni, who are professionals in every career and employment field imaginable.
On April 7, 2006, AISS, in cooperation with University Relations and members of the UND administration, launched a poster campaign, "More than Beads and Feathers," which featured nine successful American Indian graduates of UND representing various majors at UND and the tribes of the state of North Dakota. The project was originally the idea of former Vice President for Student and Outreach Services Dr. Robert Boyd, who collaborated with Dr. Leigh Jeanotte and American Indian Student Services staff, along with various other offices on campus to develop, implement, promote, and distribute the posters throughout Indian Country and the United States.
The idea behind the More Than Beads and Feathers poster campaign was loosely based on the American Indian College Fund advertising campaign which featured the question: "Have you ever seen a real Indian?" Similarly, Dr. Boyd wanted to promote current, contemporary representations of American Indian graduates and professionals to: 1.) combat long-held, historical, and often stereotypical renditions of American Indians; 2.) promote the opportunities and success stories regarding American Indians and the wealth of higher education opportunities available at UND; and 3.) use the posters to inspire American Indian youth of the state, region, and beyond to pursue higher education and professional careers that typically result in improvements of culturally relevant services throughout reservation communities.
The More Than Beads and Feathers campaign has realized its goals and continues to grow in its distribution, promotion, and value in inspiring greater numbers of American Indians to pursue higher education opportunities and professional careers that often bring the graduates home to serve their tribal communities.
Most of the participants/subjects for the first set of posters were present along with their family members and individuals from the campus and their home communities at the official unveiling, which coincided with the opening of the newly constructed American Indian Center.
A second set of posters was unveiled in 2009 at a ceremony honoring the participants at the Hooper Danley Spirituality Center. It was followed by a luncheon reception.
The posters are distributed to tribal offices and entities, schools, and community colleges of the state, and serve to inspire other tribal members to pursue or continue higher education. The posters are displayed in the computer lab at the American Indian Center. The posters are also displayed at the Memorial Union, Dean of Students Office, the Chester Fritz Library, and will be used in national and local publications to recruit American Indian students and promote UND. Chuck Kimmerle photographed the first two series, and Jackie Lorentz photographed the third.
The third round of participants to be featured in the poster campaign titled "More Than Beads and Feathers – A Bigger Better Project" are: Elsie Morningstar, Three Affiliated Tribes; Cheryl Kary, Standing Rock Sioux Tribe; Biron Baker, Mandan-Hidatsa; Francine McDonald, Spirit Lake Sioux Tribe; Duane Gourneau, Turtle Mountain Band of Chippewa; Jason Hrdlicka, Oglala Sioux Tribe; Joseph Morsette, Chippewa-Cree Tribe; Kimberly Rhoades, Standing Rock Sioux Tribe; and Daniel Fluke, Cherokee. This third set of posters will be completed in the Spring of 2012 with the official celebration taking place during the 42nd Annual (American Indian) Time Out Week & Wacipi held on campus April 16 - 22, 2012.

|1 recipe Nut Crust (pecans go especially well with the filling)
|2 cups heavy whipping cream
|8 ounces mascarpone cheese, at room temperature
|1 1/2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
|1/4 cup granulated sugar
|2 pints fresh assorted berries
|1 tablespoon freshly squeezed lemon juice (about half a lemon)
|1/4 cup seedless raspberry jam
|1 teaspoon lemon zest (about half a lemon), finely grated
|1 tablespoons berry-flavored liqueur such as Creme de Cassis or Chambord
Prepare the nut crust according to the recipe directions and allow it to cool completely.
In the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, beat the mascarpone cheese and sugar on medium speed until smooth. Add the lemon juice and zest and mix.
In a clean bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the whisk attachment, whip the cream with the vanilla on high speed until stiff peaks form. Take a big scoop of the whipped cream and stir it into the cheese mixture to lighten it, then gently fold in the rest. Spoon the filling into the cooled nut crust, cover lightly with plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 8 hours. This pie can be made 1 day ahead.
Just before serving, heap the berries on top of the pie, stir the jam and liqueur together, and drizzle over the fruit.

"Casual dinner for 10: I had to use challah because the local specialty store was out of brioche. I had to settle for cremini instead of morels. I had leftover asiago from a quiche that I decided to add. Most importantly, I did not have truffles (but I did have truffle oil). So, challah is more tender (I think) than brioche but pudding takes a bit "

Sorry I think the doom news coverage is getting to me
On a lighter note I had a bit of a cold last week which has played on my asthma and left me with a bit of a cough. The little bit of anarchist in me wanted to go into Sainsbury's wearing a sombrero hat and buy loads of mexican food. Just to see what would happened.

right back to work
Considering hayfever is making a comeback at the moment, it is going to cause a high demand for people calling the NHS with runny noses etc...
Some things come to mind though. There have been various reports on grass-roots news sites stating that the Mexican govt are keeping it on the down low. ie. more people are dying than is being reported officially. One doctor said his clinic had seen 100 deaths from it so far. True? I don't know. But it is the sort of thing governments usually do.
Also, the media are going up and interviewing the people with it over there and in other countries, rather than them being in complete isolation. How is that going to help prevent the spread of it?!
@ localzuk - yes i'm sure we'll look back in a couple of years and see the stupidity of it all, the media really can be a bunch of desperados (excuse the pun)
i had a text whilst walking in this morning from one of our retired dept heads
'if you are bored whilst on the tube/bus etc pretend you are on the phone discussing your 4week tour of mexico, then cough and hang up'
being early it did take a few seconds lol
Anyone remember bird flu?
I am in DerbyshireIf we've not all been infected of course...
Yes apparently H1N1 contains elements of bird flu make up but it is a different strainAnyone remember bird flu?

UFC President Dana White once said soccer was the "least-talented sport on earth" and that it helped "pussify" America, but it happens to be a pretty big deal around the world, including Brazil. That's where UFC featherweight champion Jose Aldo participated in a charity match and showed Neymar a few of his trademarked leg kicks -- the less painful kind. After all, "Junior" has plenty of downtime while the promotion figures out who the next 145-pound No. 1 contender is, something we're bound to f read news >>
If you work in a particularly horrid office environment, you may be familiar with the "White Elephant Christmas" tradition. The basics are simple—everyone brings gifts and puts them in a giant pile. You draw a number and pick in order. Everyone brings something. Everyone leaves with something. Simple, right? Nice even. But there's a twist. There's always a twist. Those who follow you in line get the chance to "steal" your gift rather than pick their own. This leads, inevitably, to people stealin read news >>
MMA stalker Katie Winter couldn't help but notice Dana White's amazing vacation on a Fijian island for the past week or so. It looks pretty fantastic so here are the pics to add to your holiday cheer. Welcome to a super special MMA on Instagram.

Former UFC light heavyweight champion Lyoto Machida proved he is still a top contender in the middleweight division, taking out CB Dollaway in just 62 seconds via body kick this past Saturday night (Dec. 20, 2014) in the main event of UFC Fight Night 58. Earning a stoppage in UFC's final fight of the year, MMAmania.com ponders what could be next for "The Dragon." Winning is certainly paramount in the sport of mixed martial arts (MMA), but fans and pundits alike almost immediately begin contempla read news >>
"Me and Dana White, we haven't even spoke. We was always cool, honestly. It was just business. I didn't like the way the UFC kind of painted the picture like I retired and like I got cut from the UFC, but I didn't take it personal. I don't take business personal most of the time.

Following the announcement that Quinton Rampage Jackson had resigned with the UFC, Dana White and Scott Coker both took to twitter to offer their thoughts on the former champion's decision. While the UFC's final fight card of 2014 was nothing to write home about, the event did feature several interesting moments, including the announcement that former light-heavyweight champion Quinton 'Rampage' Jackson had resigned with the promotion. The news was announced midway through the main card broadcas read news >>

UFC President Dana White and Bellator President Scott Coker wasted little time responding to the UFC's surprising signing of Quinton "Rampage" Jackson on Twitter following the official announcement on Saturday night. A former UFC light heavyweight champion, Jackson is still believed to be under Bellator contract... which should make the next few months rather interesting. Let us be clear that Quinton "Rampage" Jackson is under an exclusive contract with #BellatorMMA. We will protect our contract read news >>
In a recent interview with Matt Parrino for UFC.com's The Download, Dana White discussed the reaction to CM Punk's signing and why Askren isn't in the UFC. Since the UFC's announcement of the unusual signing of pro-wrestling superstar, CM Punk, fans and media alike have been trying to make sense of the news. When you consider that there are world class prospects that would represent a much better level of competition, it gets a little more bizarre. Ben Askren is a name that has been mentioned fo read news >>

You must choose ... but choose wisely!

When Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) announced that it had signed former WWE superstar Phil Brooks, also known as CM Punk, to a contract to fight inside the Octagon, the reaction from the mixed martial arts (MMA) community was, well, mixed.

Sponsored Deals
They're like ads, but good.
OK, yes, companies pay a little something to be Sponsored Deals. But we don't allow just any old crap in this section. Sponsored Deals are proposed to us by other retailers, manufacturers, and even other daily deal sites. If we find the deal compelling enough that our members will appreciate us bringing it to their attention, we'll feature it here. Believe it or not, we have a reputation to uphold. If your store would like to be considered for this space, please contact us for details. But if your deal is lame, or sketchy, no amount of money will let you buy your way in.
Community Deals
It's whatever you want it to be.
Pretty much, anyway. This is where you find the deals that wooters like you have ferreted out and brought to light. We're thinking it'll turn into a massive database of discounted products from around the Web, constantly expanding to absorb the newest deals from the very moment their prices are slashed, with each deal immediately rated by hordes of savvy voters to spotlight the very greatest deals in the world today. Hey, we can dream, right?
We use a fancy algorithm to determine which deals are catching the most buzz – they're under the Popular tab, which is the default view of this section. You can look for the most popular deals today, this week, or this month. The Fresh tab features the most recently submitted deals, so that's where to look for deals that everybody else doesn't know about yet. And the Search bar does what a Search bar does, only, uh, much wootier! Yeah! Right on!
Ask The Community
They probably won't bite.
Organic bullets? Vegetarian haggis? Cheap tickets to Antarctica? The best high-performance sweatsocks for under $100? If you're looking for a deal that doesn't appear to show up in our Community Deals section, throw the question to your fellow cheapskates. Or answer a question for one of your fellow cheapskates. Or vote for your favorite questions, or your favorite answers, or… maybe we should call this section "Ask, Answer, Comment On, And Vote In The Community", but that won't fit on the page.

DULUTH - Some people simply take out their pocketbooks for a typical fundraiser but for a group in Duluth, they're putting on their dancing shoes.
The Rex Bar inside Fitgers turned into one big dance floor as people raised money for three different organizations, including Bethany Crisis Nursery, Fruit of the Vine Food Shelf and Zumba Love Volunteers, a group of dancers who are trying to make a difference in the Twin Ports.
"I know there's at least 60-70 people which is a fantastic group of people. It's been nothing but fun and lots of energy. I suppose on a Sunday afternoon, what else do you do," Melinda Vandervieren, a Zumba Instructor and organizer, said.
Organizers said one person even walked in and donated $200.

Can We Really Taste Much Difference in Wines?
I live in California, the Central Coast of California to be exact, and as far as the eye can see, we have vineyards. Needless to say, a major hobby in this part of the world is winetasting, made even more popular by the cult film Sideways. So when my childhood friends came to town to deliver their daughter to Cal Poly, we headed for Talley Vineyard to sample the local offerings.
As we sampled, talk turned to the differences between what experts can taste and what novices like ourselves (with the exception of Mr. F, who is a member of Knights of the Vines) can taste. Being me, I'm afraid that even in such recreational circumstances, I went into professor mode.
While I'm sure that you could train yourself to make small distinctions (dissociative learning as opposed to the associative type), a few things are working against the average taster. First of all, people differ vastly in the number of taste receptors they possess, and we can group them into nontasters, medium tasters, and supertasters. According to most of the tests, which you can take yourself by clicking the previous link, I am somewhere between a nontaster and a medium taster. So it's pretty likely that I'm somewhat oblivious to bitter (also supported by my legendary coffee drinking), and pretty much all of the wines will taste good. Mr. F is a supertaster, and like most supertasters, he preferred a lighter Pinot, and opted out of the heavy red Cabernet at the end of the menu, which was my favorite.
Second, we have that nasty issue of expectation demonstrated so hilariously by Brian Wansink and his North Dakota wine. For those of you who are unfamiliar with the study, unsuspecting diners were served 2-buck-chuck with either a California wine label or a North Dakota wine label placed on the bottle by the experimenters. The people served "California" wine not only rated the wine as being better, but they rated the food served with the wine as better, ate 11% more of it (!!), and were more likely to make return reservations.
A more recent study looked at the influence of hearing an "expert's" opinion before drinking it, and once again, we see that expectations matter. So a more reasonable line of research might be "why do we have critics in the first place?" I know chez Freberg that our movie interests are so different from most of the critics that we tend to avoid films with high ratings. Mr. F still hasn't recovered from negative critical reviews at the debut of the original Star Wars. My guess is that people are influenced by conformity and other social factors to like what is generally considered good, or to show others that they have good taste.
Maybe the best approach is to ignore the critics, and have the confidence in your own judgment to just like what you like, even if it's a North Dakota wine or Eddie Murphy's Norbit. Check out this link for North Dakota pumpkin wine. Reminds me of "7 star patata" in Tea House of the August Moon. Oh, and the Talley wines were excellent (in my personal opinion, not to influence your expectations), and the service was, too.

TileSystem Sreenshots & Example Layouts
8 Years, 7 Months ago
Cool. I'll make sure (after Kubla) that all the images have their origin in the lower left. I can easily do that in illustrator and re-export.
Be aware that some of the pieces are bigger than the grid, and are fractional inches in size. I'll play with some of the odd-size pieces after I re-origin them and see if it makes sense.
As for the EULA, what I really care about is integrity. I.e. I'd rather not have someone "fix" them and re-distribute w/o me knowing about them. They could make some of the same mistakes I made in the first batch and they wouldn't work. So, essentially, other than that it would be nice to credit us if maps are published somewhere, especially if they get any kind of distribution.
If someone wants to help me wordsmith the EULA to get this across, feel free. I basically threw the EULA together in 5 minutes after I noticed folks were downloading. 8-)
And, the tilemapper software looks nice. If I didn't have so much invested in dundjinni, I'd probably use it under Virtual PC.

the photos look nice.
How do they look printed out in B/W? Is it obvious which pieces are which?
It would be cool if you could label the photo pieces somwhere, it would make it easier to tell the difference between a wall and a secret door, for example.

Welcome CRasterImage!
This is very good news to have you, the author of that incredibly useful piece of software, here and it's even better news that you allready confirmed the freeness of the software.
First to your question:
In fact there is a little perspective distortion, but it is currently only on the lower end of the images, where it is just cut away without being really noticable. The solution to reducing that problem obviously is to move the camera as far away from the tiles as possible and then zoom in with the lens. I might even try to use the full length of the stative, since I am currently using the middle length and formerly startet with the shortest possible length. That the distortion is noticeable only on the lower end, is due to the heaviness of the camera and lens mounted on that not really optimal stative for that purpose. This usually tilts the camera a little bit so that it shoots not perfectly down, but just that aligns the upper end pretty good. Here is still some room for further experiments ;)
When I find the time I'll presumably post a short description of the 'how I did this' and maybe some photos of the setup in the Cool Photos section. This might also be handy if someone wants to do the photo thing for the sci-fi stuff (that obviously deserves it too ;) ).
Now the much more important things:
Well, now that it seems we have all potentially contributors for a *free unbelievable extraordinary awesome Tile System based DF MM map design tool* ;) on board here, we should be able to arrange something to put everything togehter in a while.
pfworks offer to create a special tileset compilation of his images for the software would be very welcome.
My sugestions for that would be:
1) Just one resolution (we have to decide which we want to use, which will also be an important information for me regarding the creation of the photo set).
2) Restructure the folders a little bit:
Move the caverns in a separate folder (and potentially in it's own zip archive ?) and organize them like the other categories (as anyone knows there is some really nifty cavernous river and lake stuff comming this year blowing up the cavern setting :D ).
Maybe organize the rest a little different (Instead of 'Base' use a 'Floor&Walls' or even separate 'Floors' and 'Walls' folders and copy all common floor and wall pieces (6x6 and 6x4 floor; long, diagonal & curved wall; ...) *except* the really special ones (like mermaid fountain , demon archway, the floor set tiles) therein. But this is more or less just a question of taste and not as necessary as the separation of the caverns.
We should also consider an appropriate structure above the tileset folders, where I just sugest to use some like the following:
- MasterMaze (to be able to put it next to doom or other sets in case someone plays one of these games too)
- drawings (the technical drawings from pfworks)
- photos (the photo shots)
And within each of that two
- <SetType> (Fantasy, Cavern, DoE, ...)
- Floors & Walls
- Passages
- Special
- Accessories
- some series specific, like Halves, Narrow Passages, etc.
3) I think it would be sufficient if you just permit the rest of us to compile an appropriate set out of the existing images. Most of them are allready perfect or can be easy adjusted to work with the software
We could contact you then just for special 'recompilations' of tiles that cause some special problems.
Maybe we should discuss how we want to handle those critical tiles before, because during the experimental shots it came out very obviously, that the real tiles don't perfectly fit in common raster (the fantasy passages e.g. turned out to be a little bit smaller, while most cavern passages are noticeably larger!).
My first suggestion would be to stretch or squish everything to a 1-inch raster for ease of use and put some warning in the documentation file, that one should be careful with some critical tiles, especially when e.g. the larger caverns come to close to each other.
4) For upcoming new MM sets it would of course be very appreciated, given the case you would produce drawings for them as well, when you 'compile' them for the tile system too or again allow other people to do the neccessary adjustemnts.
Since you, CRasterImage, are now here, you might also be able to do some feature adjustments to the software sometime. My suggestions would be:
By the way: Did I allready say that this is a really cool piece of software?
1) The automatically rendered 'this really cool map was created with the help of ...' in each exported map image would be something that you should consider in order to enforce our credits into the maps. The copyright information that can allready be provided within a set xml could be used here, I think.
2) As the system allready does support drawing layers (map, objects, etc. as I read in the help.txt) it could be useful if some of the upper decoration layers won't stuck to the grid and if tiles there would be freely rotatable.
The killer version of that feature would be completely configurable drawing group layers. Within the set xml one would be able to configure the groups then (define draw layer group X with attributes for sticktogrid=true/false, minrotatingangle=value and what else may be handy for that. Potentially configurations in referenced set xml should be ingnored then, making only the one in the actually open set xml active).
3) A 'flip all tiles to normal/flipped side' button would be very useful for the combination of drawing and photo view. It eliminates the need to select all tiles in advance.
4) The guys that are doing the large convention setups may also have some interrsting ideas how the reporting function could be extended (counting overused pieces e.g.). I am currently not sure how important such features may be for some of the potential users, since I am more or less the 'normal' user that would just like to layout 'normal' sized maps quickly on the PC and get a print of it and the tilelist.
Would you also consider to put the final MM file sets on your Web page?
So Jeff and Stefan could simply link to it if they like to do so.
I think it would be a good idea to use the 'basetilesets' attribute feature for those set files:
We create one zip with drawings and photos of each MM type (fantasy, cavern, DoE, Sci-Fi, upcoming mystery taverns? :D, etc.) and also provide a 'gimme all'-set file that references all those other files.
Together with a short 'customizing set files'-howto, as suggested from arsthein, anyone should be able to produce their indivdual set files, reflecting their MM inventory.
So for me know the first important step would be a decision about what resolution we should use for all the images, so that I can start with the photo production for the Fantasy set soon.
I still think that 100dpi is sufficient and it helps keeping the PNGs at a reasonable size level.
Maybe the 'we want to print everything on a giants toilett paper roll'-people :D have some arguments pro 200dpi?
Maybe CRasterImage can give some information what he thinks about the influence of the image file sizes on program performance and resource usage (especially memory).
Well this was a lot to write, and now you have a lot to read an think about ...

Hi pfworks,
I did not yet tried to print an exported photo example, but I'll probably manage to do that this evening. Since I have only a B/W Laser Printer i can not check how it would look if one prints it in color ;)
About the labeling: In Fact that should be possible, but for the first time I would let that up to anybody who want's to do so for himself, because it's easier to put for example some indivual white text labels in the images, than removing them if you do not like/want them.
With the secret door the problem should no be so big, because I tend to photograph it in an open position, which should alow to notice it when you do not look from to far apart. The 'wall with arrow loop hole' seems to be more a problem in that case, because you can hardly tell the difference between it and a normal wall when seen from above (maybe some nifty lighting could be used to produce a shadow on the floor with light in it shinig throught the hole ;) ).

As i allready mentioned I don not intend to sell those pictures.
I will contribute the tile set version of them as free as the software is and unfortunately the images of pfworks are (almost).
It should be really sufficient for us to have some credits on all those generated maps. After all I think most of us are doing some hobby stuff here and not busines. And as I see from the other threads we all will need our money to buy all those upcoming nifty sets instead of buying software and pictures from each other ;).
Similar to pfworks i will keep the original shots, just in case they might come to use for something else sometime, despite I do not think that anyone could use them for anything. With 8MP they are really big and would not even be postable in the Photos Section here. But if anyone is interested in them and likes big mail attachments or has a ftp server to put them on: Just ask me when I have the complete shots available. :D
Finally, if we can setup this free software toy, eh... tool ;) with sets for DF MM and maybe also adjust some of the softwares features, we have a pretty nice demonstration of how just a small comunity can produce some awesome stuff, if just the right people get together. In fact the most important contribution is the allready finished software from CRasterImage here.
And because we all have some fun in creating and using the stuff during our spare time (I just guess) we do not have to calculate how much it costs us to produce it, if there is a market at all, for what price to sell it, how to copy protect it and all these other busines considerations, which can really be a pain in the a... and often prevent things to come up at all, when they're planned with money-making in mind.

Oh man, it was some sort of expression, I didn't meant that you were going to sell the pics o.O
I'm very very interested in having them when you finish! I think my email account can download 8Mb without problem, perhaps not much more (I hope!).
With the software and the pics I would be very happy only having to configure my own inventory... :-D

Well arsthein, considering that each original high resolution jpg camera shot with 8MPixel is round about 2-3 MB, I could send you approximately 2 or 3 images per mail :D
The cut out high-res versions are allready a little smaller but (at least the shots from yesterday) are potentially allready PNG (which is larger than JPG) because I sometimes have to rotate them a little for proper adjustment. Rotating adds the alpha channel to the pictures in GIMP and since the alpha channel will be needed anyway, this was just an ideal point to change to PNG format.
But when I take care enough it is possible to get the shots properly aligned directly (the shots from the day before yesterday were aligned properly; the tiles that were not properly aligned then, were simply not laying exactly on the grid paper) which would allow the jpg format for the cutted images.
But nevertheles, if you are really interested in those high-res versions, we presumably should find a better way, like a ftp server or so, for providing these.

CRasterImage -
Welcome to the insane asylum! I think I can safely say that everyone here at the forum, at least in THIS thread and the similar ones elsewhere in the forum, are VERY appreciative of the work you've done on TileMapper!
Someone else here in the DF Forums had asked me, some months ago, to do some photos of custom pieces I've made (mostly by cutting up stock ones - they sometimes call me the 'Mad Butcher of DF', in memory of Sweeney Todd), but that slipped by the wayside. Now, with these beautiful shots from LoneStarr and pfworks, and your software, I'm not inclined to waste everyone's hard drive space with my pitiful photography skills. However, I may wind up sending jpg's of my butchery to LoneStarr so he can convert them to the correct format for TileMapper. Ditto to pfworks for the linedrawings.
One question: how hard would it be, for the inventory list setup, to add a numeric field for each piece, and the user could mark in there how many pieces he has? I ask this without even having installed the program yet (that's on the list of things to do today, right after I get off the forum!).If there's already something like that on here, then disregard the question. I only asked it because I'm a MS Access database programmer, so I'm somewhat familiar with the concept.
Anyway, THANK YOU for what certainly looks like it will be a great DM aid! ANd again, welcome aboard!
See ya!

pfworks, I am not familiar with Adobe Illustrator, so I don't know how you specify the bounding rectangle that is used for determining the size and shape of out output images.
Is it based on some kind of "page size" or "canvas size" properties?
The main concern for TileSystem is that the grid shown in the image's artwork aligns with it's lower left corner. If there are "extra pixels" ouside of a square (used for walls and whatnot) then the image needs to shift up or right by one square size (grid size) to give the pixels space to live. Even if it is more space than is needed for the extra bits.
This tile, from the doom tileset, is used in a system where the grid size is 64.
The checkerboard pattern indicates the area of the image that is made up of transparent pixels.
I have turned on grid lines and set them at 64 pixels.
You can see how each floor tile fits exactly into any given grid cell.
There seems to be lots of unused space around the edges of the image.
This is because I needed to draw some extra pixels that extended outside of the original 3x2 square area to depict walls on the top and bottom and puzzle piece components on the left and right sides.
So, I had to increase the size of my image from 3x2 squares, to 5x4 squares. Doing so, gave me the extra squares to draw those extra bits. Everything about the image has to conform to the gridsize, so the extra space had to be allocated in 64 pixel chunks. Note that every image in the doom tileset has a width and height that are evenly divisible by 64.

I will start on the copyright text feature tonight, since we all seem to agree about how it should work.
Next will be the "don't snap to grid or angle" feature.
How does this sound:
When defining a tile in the tileset, the author can add an attribute to the tile that indicates that you want to be able to play with it freeform.
So this old definition:
. <Tile name="chair" type="0" maxcount="10" warn="true">
. sometileschair.png
. </Tile>
would change to:
. <Tile name="chair" type="0" maxcount="10" warn="true"
. sometileschair.png
. </Tile>

Oh my gosh!!! 2-3Mb per image?!? I think I had misunderstood you Lonestarr... sorry. But... I think we don't need so big images... the original DF tiles, had to sizes... the small one was enough, don't it...? I think I'm missing something...
CRasterImage, man, you are making me so happy!!! :-D

Education reformers show how to close gap
|Students at Andrew Avenue Elementary School eat lunch surrounded by newly-arrived banners with college logos. Teachers and principals are talking to third- and fourth-graders about the things they need to do to get into college, with the eventual goal of closing the district's achievement gap. Alia Malik Republican-American
To wipe out one of the worst achievement gaps in the nation, two out of every 100 students in Connecticut, at each grade level, must improve from performing below goal level on standardized tests to performing at or above that level.
And that will have to happen every year until 2020.
