Classification of Facial Expressions Using K-Nearest Neighbor Classifier
- Abu Sayeed Md. Sohail,

In this paper, we have presented a fully automatic technique for detection and classification of the six basic facial expressions from nearly frontal face images. Facial expressions are communicated by subtle changes in one or more discrete features such as tightening the lips, raising the eyebrows, opening and closing of eyes or certain combinations of them. These discrete features can be identified through monitoring the changes in muscles movement (Action Units) located near about the regions of mouth, eyes and eyebrows. In this work, we have used eleven feature points that represent and identify the principle muscle actions as well as provide measurements of the discrete features responsible for each of the six basic human emotions. A multi-detector approach of facial feature point localization has been utilized for identifying these points of interests from the contours of facial components such as eyes, eyebrows and mouth. Feature vector composed of eleven features is then obtained by calculating the degree of displacement of these eleven feature points from a non-changeable rigid point. Finally, the obtained feature sets are used for training a K-Nearest Neighbor Classifier so that it can classify facial expressions when given to it in the form of a feature set. The developed Automatic Facial Expression Classifier has been tested on a publicly available facial expression database and on an average 90.76% successful classification rate has been achieved.

Last night, I watched David Crystal's plenary talk at the IATEFL conference. Of course, it was still morning in Liverpool, where he was speaking. I couldn't get to Liverpool this year, as much as I wanted to. But, being able to watch the livestream from the comfort of my living room is a pretty good deal. I was able to share the plenary with over 200 good friends in far flung corners of the globe. And for friends whose far corners don't include decent Internet connections, there's a recording. (more…)
What is a PLN, anyway?
A good friend (and a great teacher) e-mailed me after my last post. "Great links," she said. "But what's a PLN?"
A good reminder about why I try to avoid acronyms and jargon in my writing.
PLN is an acronym for Personal Learning Network. The acronym is relatively new, but the idea is not. Teachers have always had learning networks—people we learn from and share with. Teachers are information junkies. We're also social. Put the two together and you have a personal learning network. (more…)
Three Great Interview Series
I'm always impressed with the ways teachers exploit the power of social media to share and collaborate. These three series of interviews are great examples of very different but equally wonderful ways of sharing. (more…)
2011 Challenge: Become a Beginner (again)
This year
Try something that makes you feel foolish.
Something that guarantees you'll make mistakes.
Something that frustrates and overwhelms you.
In other words, do something that helps you remember what it feels like to be a beginner. (more…)

I was just re-reading through SotI (thanks again Evilscary) again, and my thoughts drifted to the topic of sound effects. I figure every game group must have a few that get batted around from time to time. In the world of DH, what sounds do you break out most often?
I guess this could mean pre-recorded stuff, if you were so inclined; but I am hoping to learn more about what sounds you equate with specific weapons or equipment.
eg: Does Stubber = Bam or Boom? That kind of thing.

Linear Technology Corp. introduces the LTC2338-18, an 18-bit 1 Msps no latency analog-to-digital converter (ADC) with a wide ±10.24 V fully differential, true bipolar input range for high voltage, industrial applications. The device operates from a single 5V supply, achieves 100 dB SNR and -110 dB THD and features an internal 2.048 V (20 ppm/°C max) reference and reference buffer. An input divider network scales and level shifts the input signal, eliminating complicated circuitry required to directly interface true bipolar signals.
Texas Instruments Inc. (TI) introduced a family of 12-bit, 500- to 900-MSPS analog-to-digital converters (ADCs) that reduce board space by 80 percent while providing industry-leading signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) and spurious-free dynamic range (SFDR).
Maxim Integrated Products Inc. announced it is now shipping the MAX11166 and MAX11167, the industry's smallest bipolar ±5 V, 16-bit analog-to-digital converters (ADCs), available in a tiny 9 mm2 package.
Texas Instruments Inc. introduced a pair of devices supporting the JEDEC JESD204B serial interface standard for data converters.
Linear Technology Corp. introduces three low power 16-bit, 20Msps analog-to-digital converters (ADCs), the LTC2269, LTC2270 and LTC2271, offering the lowest input-referred noise and tight integral nonlinearity error (INL) for very high precision DC measurements. With only 46µVRMS input noise and maximum guaranteed INL error of ±2.3LSB, these ADCs are suitable for very low noise, high linearity sampling applications such as digital x-ray, infrared and medical imaging, pachymeters, spectrometry and cytometry.
RFEL, which specialize in high performance electronic signal processing solutions, has produced a solution to overcome the common performance bottleneck of the dynamic range of high speed ADCs that can prevent innovative projects in wireless communications and instrumentation from getting off the ground.
Linear Technology announces the LTC6417, a fully differential buffer amplifier with only 1.5nV/√Hz output-referred noise. The LTC6417 is capable of driving a differential 50 Ohm load and is optimized for driving 14- and 16-bit pipeline ADCs. It can be DC- or AC-coupled at its inputs, and achieves excellent distortion performance for signals up to and beyond 600 MHz. At 140 MHz, OIP3 is 46 dBm, and HD3 is -69 dBc with 2.4 VP-P output swing into a 50Ohm load.

found a new home!
Plenty of my friends are looking
for one too. Find a pet to adopt.
Find a pet to adopt |
My name is Lucy!
Facts about Lucy
- Breed: Chihuahua
- Color: Tan/Yellow/Fawn - With White
- Age: Adult
- Size: Small 25 lbs (11 kg) or less
- Sex: Female
Lucy's Info...
I am purebred, good with kids, and good with dogs.
Lucy, came from a puppy mill. She was kept in a cage with an ID chain around her neck. The chain was so tight it grew into her neck. She has a scar from the chain but fortunately she is a forgiving lady and still love humans. Lucy would really like a human of her own she show her the love she
UPDATE: Lucy's neck is healing nicely. The scar is barely visible!
Other Pets at Chihuahuas Hope Animal Rescue Transport and Sanctuary
Why Adoption is a Great Option
Lucy, a Chandlersville Chihuahua dog was adopted! Here's how you can benefit by looking at adoption as an option to buying a Chihuahua for sale in Chandlersville, or seeking a Chihuahua dog from a breeder in Chandlersville.
- Rescues and shelter volunteers in Chandlersville already know the personality and tendencies of their pets. This means they can match you with the right pet. That will makes it much easier transition to owning a pet for yourself and your new pet.
- On average adoption fees are much less than you'd pay a Chandlersville breeder, or pet store. Plus most often rescue pets have already been to the veterinarian for a check-up, had a round of vaccinations, and are spayed or neutered. That is a lot of savings!
- You will become a hero, and give a needy dog or cat a loving home. In fact, there are even Chihuahua breeders who help with Chihuahua rescue. One puppy or kitten adopted in Chandlersville paves the way for another one to be saved.

Going postal.
Poet and editor Nigel Holt on magazines who accept only postal submissions:
By accepting postal only submissions, you do not reduce the quality of of submission, but you do filter out according to ability to pay.
I have sent over 400 poems out so far this year: had I taken the postal route, 200 sets at around twenty dollars a throw would have set me back $4000. Considering the rewards in the poetry business, I think I might be excused for decrying magazines that make me pay that for no good reason when there is a technological and free medium that allows me to submit.
This is why I insist that magazines that do not take email subs from international poets are both limiting the quality of what they publish and punishing people, like myself, who do not have the wherewithal to pump money willy-nilly into what is a doubtful success rate anyway, no matter what the quality.
If you can't sift through email subs, save a few trees and see the advantages rather than looking at the negatives, then you're in the wrong business. You should be boiled in your own ink (poached, perhaps)!

European Olympics: Baku, Azerbaijan to host first Games
The first European Olympics will take place in Baku, Azerbaijan, in 2015.
Delegations from the 49 members of the European Olympic Committee (EOC) met in Rome to vote on the proposal.
"The National Olympic Committees (NOC) have received assurance that the event will not cost them a penny, but bring financial gains," the EOC said.
The competition, similar to the Asian or Pan-American Games, will take place every four years and feature around 15 sports in its programme.
Backed heavily by EOC president Patrick Hickey, the European Games were first suggested in 2010.
After a cool response initially the proposal has now been voted through.
The EOC held a secret ballot at its 41st General Assembly in Rome with 38 voting in favour, eight against and three abstaining.
It was thought Russia and Turkey would be candidates to host the competition but it has since emerged that Baku was the only city to bid.
Located on the southern shore of the Absheron Peninsula, bordering the Caspian Sea.
Population (2012): 2,122,300
The EOC said: "The exact dates have not yet been fixed, but the Games will presumably take place in late spring or early summer and will have around 15 sports on the programme.
"There are plenty of technical details to decide, but the Assembly has above all shown its will to go ahead, and make this sports event, which is in no way intended to be a copy of the Olympic Games, a tool with which to enhance the attractiveness of sport."
The British Olympic Association (BOA) is one of the 49 members of the EOC, and chief executive Andy Hunt travelled to the Italian capital for Friday's meetings and Saturday's vote.
Before the vote, the BOA was understood to be cautiously supportive of the concept, provided room could be found for it in a crowded timetable.
That was a major worry for some of the larger sports in the Olympic movement, with the International Association of Athletics Federations (IAAF) particularly opposed to any addition to the international schedule.
The European Athletics Association (EAA) has already voted against the participation of its members in the Games.
An IAAF spokesman told BBC Sport: "The IAAF position remains as voted a few months ago and we support European Athletics Association position not to accept to participate. This is our position."

One good soul had the knowledge/kindness to give me the answer I was looking for. For helping me out, they too were negatively rated.
Can you people understand the English language? -

Chevy S10 - GMC S15 and Sonoma Towing Questions
Posts: 1
in Chevrolet
i just picked up a 1991 sonoma, 2.5l 5 speed, anyonw know what would be the max i could tow with this, i have a camper trailer that weighs about 3000-3500lbs, wondering if i could tow it safely
hoodlatch Mid-westPosts: 255Here's why I wouldn't:
a. wind sail factor of a high profile in gust of wind
b. high profile is like pulling a parachute
c. stopping factor (electric brakes?)
d. overloading of engine and clutch
Being you have both, sonoma 2.5 and 3.5k lbs camper, start small and see how it goes. Hook it up and take it around the block. If that works ok, progressively increase distance. Watch your temp gage so it doesn't over heat. Watch your tac so your not burning out your clutch. Start out on level ground so your not getting pushed down a grade or over doing brakes.
In other words steady as she goes and see how it goes (or stops). Let us know how it works out.
Good luck -
johnny2323 Posts: 1
hoodlatch Mid-westPosts: 255I have a 92 4.3Z and I've towed a Johnny Pop John Deere with it. I kept it out of overdrive and it worked fine. But, as I have indicated in previous post, there are a lot of other variables involve in towing besides just weight. In this case I had electric brakes to help stop. Also I had equalizer bars on the hitch. Plus the trailer had two axles. Sorry but I don't know what the max tow rating is. To find that answer for a 92 you would probably need to look in an archive.
philscbx Posts: 33Granted it's an old thread, it will be info for anyone else considering it.
No Way would you tow a 3500 lb load with that size vehicle.
Unless you were just taking it to storage one time only and very little traffic on a Sunday morning.
This is where you see the news reports of people upside down and dead on the road and scratch their heads bald as to why.
1200 lbs at the very most.
Even My 00 4x4 v-6 can tell I have 2000 lbs back there and it gets sucked of power real quick on upgrades, so leave it out of overdrive if you feel very little gain in adding power. -
s10mojo Posts: 2Hi i was curious about the 1992 blazer 4.3z motor. I have a 1991 4.3 fuel injection in my 1991 which i totaled. I was looking at a 1992 that has a 4.3z motor. I have heard of the vortecs. But what is the z? Is it a better version of the vortec? I know Vortecs had spider problems from what i have read. But is this the better motor or a lower end version.. Thanks alot. I wanted to check before i buy. Thanks alot.
radame Posts: 1My coleman popup camper has 1995 gvwr (lbs) and my sonoma 2002 has 5150 (lbs) ... If I use transmisión coolant and/or wider radiator, help for overheat? Happened before the last summer with 110 temp. With hills (between San Diego and Calexico Ca.) or better go for bigger truck like sierra ?
2002 gmc sonoma 4x4 sls v6 vortec automatic, crew cab -
jerseygurl Posts: 1How much weight can an 88 s10 pull. I have a bass boat with a large engine that I am trying to pull to Altoona lake, which is like 20 minutes away from me. Is it safe for me to pull it that far or should I just hold off until I can try to buy a bigger truck. Really need some help with this I just got the boat last summer and I haven't been able to do anything with it because I don't know if my little truck will pull it. Thanks.

Breaking News: Most Spam Is Bogus
Internet users skeptical of junk e-mails promising easy money, miracle cures and dream dates are right to be wary: The government says two-thirds of the "spam" messages clogging online mailboxes probably are false in some way.
The FTC said that spam e-mails involving investment and business opportunities are especially dubious, with an estimated 96 percent containing information that probably is false or misleading.
The FTC studied a random sample of 1,000 unsolicited e-mails taken from a pool of more than 11 million pieces of spam it has collected. The agency looked for deceptive claims in a message's text or the "from" or "subject" lines.
Twenty percent of the spam studied involved business opportunities such as work-at-home and franchise offers. Offers for pornography or dating services accounted for another 18 percent. Spam involving pitches for credit cards, mortgages and insurance was the third-largest category at 17 percent.
Junk e-mails are a rapidly growing problem, with the anti-spam company Brightmail recording 6.7 million instances of multiple unsolicited messages being sent out in March, a 78 percent increase from a year ago. The FTC plans a three-day forum to discuss how the government and businesses should deal with spam.

Vivendi's U.S. media biz up for grabs: Giant media company Vivendi Universal officially hoisted a for-sale sign over its American entertainment empire, smashing the Hollywood dream of a French firm that slid from boom to near-bust.
Almost a year after the ouster of ex-Chief Executive Officer Jean-Marie Messier, who turned Vivendi from a water company into a media titan with huge debts, the veteran company fixer brought in to replace him pulled down the curtain on a three-year dalliance with Tinseltown.
Current CEO Jean-Rene Fourtou said Vivendi's future lay in telecommunications and French television -- not Hollywood -- and told shareholders it was "illusory" to think Vivendi could run a U.S. empire spanning Universal studios, theme parks and cable television from Paris.
Fourtou announced at Vivendi's annual general meeting that the computer games business would also be sold but that music may still be a part of Vivendi next year when he hopes to have completed the restructuring.
Fourtou said the company is already in talks with potential contenders for all or part of the U.S. media business.

You may (not) have already won: A computer glitch involving American Airlines' online sweepstakes resulted in several thousand people being informed erroneously by e-mail that they had won a grand prize of 25,000 of the airline's frequent-flier miles.
An airline spokesperson said that all were customers who take part in the AAdvantage loyalty program. They received the erroneous notification sometime over the weekend, she said.
Only 60 grand prizes were supposed to be awarded. Each grand prize has a retail value of $700. As a goodwill gesture, American's parent company, Kellogg (

Ericsson slashes jobs: Swedish telecom equipment maker Ericsson said on Tuesday it would cut thousands more jobs in response to a weakening market for its products.
The swift action by new Chief Executive Carl-Henric Svanberg showed the company's determination to adjust to the market conditions, investors said, and sent its shares soaring by 38 percent.
The world's biggest producer of mobile networks had its 10th straight quarter in the red, with an adjusted pre-tax loss of 3.5 billion crowns ($421.4 million) in the three months ending in March.
Talk of deeper job cuts grew when Svanberg, who focused on margins in his last post at lockmaker Assa Abloy, arrived three weeks ago. Ericsson's (
Competitors such as Finnish mobile phone giant Nokia and Motorola of the United States also announced new but smaller job cuts in April because of the deteriorating market.

And more job cuts: Europe's second-largest computer chipmaker Infineon Technologies AG said it would cut as many as 900 jobs, or almost 3 percent of its work force, over the next few months as it tries to lower costs amid weakness in the semiconductor market.

My Hunt for Solomon's Temple
The Internet says the ruins of the First Temple are in the South Pacific. Matthew Fishbane went to find them.
A little over a year ago, Tablet Magazine's Matthew Fishbane was emailed a grainy video of Papua New Guinea's Gogodala people—in grass skirts, their bodies decorated with body paint and feathers—singing the Shema, the holiest of Hebrew prayers. A few Google searches later, he'd uncovered claims that the Lost Temple of Israel is hidden someplace in the South Pacific. And so he went to investigate…
Read about Fishbane's epic trip to the South Pacific—where he encounters self-described Melanesian Israelites with apocalyptic visions, dreamers guarding archaeological ruins of unknown but apparently ancient provenance, and a warlord who rallied an ethnic militia under the Star of David. Buy "Solomon's Island," a 20,000-word tale, complete with photos, videos, maps, timelines, and more, from our publishing partners at The Atavist.

Two weeks ago, Damiao - who has an excellent goalscoring record for Internacional - revealed that the he was 'ready' to move to a European club, and insisted that the 'time was right' to make the change.
Today, The 22 year old's agent, Vinicius Prates, provided yet another strong indication that a European move could be imminent He said:
"There is a good chance that the player will arrive in Europe this summer and it would be a good opportunity for him to play at a big club."
If Damiao does make the move, then the chances are the fee will be huge, as revealed recently by Internacional President Giovanni Luiggi, who said:
"I have an offer of €40m from a team in the Ukrainian league"
Realistically, the only way Liverpool could be in with the slightest chance of signing Damiao is if the club finishes in the top four, and we all know that isn't going to happen.
I genuinely believe Luis Suarez will leave Liverpool this summer, and if the club can get £30-£35m for him, then Damiao looks like he could be an excellent replacement.
The added bonus with Damiao is that he has no history of diving, cheating or bad behaviour of any kind. In fact, the only evidence I could find of Damiao diving is a Scuba diving business in the town of Damiao, Brazil.

When it comes to photography people are obsessed with settings, they have to know where everything is, when to use it, how to use it and so and so and so but they forget about the important thing, the photo, if your taking a photo of something that looks boring it's a shit shot and all the settings in the world can't help you, even giving your photo a funky name like "Urban Portrait" isn't going to help you.
So what are the 3 other things you need to know about photography, location, subject and camera position.
Location – Taking photos in a ally-way or on a graffiti wall doesn't make your photo look any better, if you need a wall full of street art to make your photo look better, unless your taking a photo of the art, isn't going to make your photo any better, also everyone does this so your just adding to the junk, your not being different.
Subject – This can be anything from a tree to a car to a model, why do CK ads, Sports Illustrated and car ads photos look so good, it's the model, it's a god looking girl, it's the $250,000 car, it is Kate Moss, I'm sorry but that girl you found on a modeling website isn't good looking and you only picked her because there is a chance she might take her top off. Your friends done up 2002 Honda if racing stripes doesn't really look that good, you like it because you can't afford to do that to your car so in your mind it stands out to you. This is why old street photography photos look better because they have character, it's the old fashion, the old dinner and people looked different and taking photos of a girl with tattoos is the same as taking a photo of a model in front of a graffiti wall.
Camera Position – Now this is something that can make the above boring photo look better, if your going to take a photo of a girl with tattoo and you want it be different move that camera and this goes for anything shot, move the camera around, shoot it from up high or down low or from behind and any other way you can think of. What you want to do is take a photo not the way you see it, if you take out your camera and put it up to your eye and take the shot all your doing is showing people the way they would view it but it you move around a bit and give them a different view they will see it in a whole new light.

PROVIDENCE — Undefeated La Salle saved its best game of the season for last, and Moses Brown had no answers.
The Rams scored early and often and overwhelmed the Quakers, 14-3, on Sunday for the University Orthopedics Boys Lacrosse Division I Championship at Brown University's Stevenson Field. They finished with a 14-0 record, their second consecutive undefeated championship season.
Moses Brown, which lost to La Salle in the 2012 final, 9-7, returned to its campus across Lloyd Avenue with a 9-7 record.
"Congratulations to La Salle" was about all MB coach Mike Fraioli could say after watching his team turn the ball over 20 times, miss the cage on many shots and fail to disrupt La Salle's short, accurate passing around the net.
"They put a lot of pressure on us defensively, and we had a hard time hanging on to it," Fraioli said.
Said La Salle coach Steve O'Donnell, "Our final game, and we played a complete game." We played smart, good, disciplined lacrosse."
O'Donnell was unhappy with his team's shoot-first performance in its 12-8 semifinal victory over Barrington. His players got the message and put on a passing clinic Sunday. Typical was this play for the 11th goal: Brady O'Donnell on the side passed to Luke Telang on top, who passed to Mike Catarina on the left, who passed to O'Donnell in front for the shot and score.
"We'd say go, and they kept passing," O'Donnell said with a smile, "but I'd rather have too many passes."
Brady O'Donnell scored five goals and assisted on one in his final high-school game. The three-time All-State and two-time All-America finished with 64 goals and 35 assists for 99 points this year. Junior Peter DeSimone scored four goals and junior Sam James and sophomore Joe Manown two each. Senior Mike Catarina also scored for the champs.
Manown, who also had two assists, was named the game's MVP.
"We didn't come to play [in the semifinal]," Brady O'Donnell, a co-captain, said. "Today we were all dialed in."
"We knew what we had to do today. We knew we were the defending champions, but that didn't matter," defender and co-captain Dan Wise said. "We had to stick to the game plan. That's what [Steve O'Donnell] stressed all week."
La Salle controlled the ball for most of the first half and went into the break with a 7-2 lead. Manown scored first only 25 seconds after the opening faceoff when he came out from behind the net on the right side, spun and shot. O'Donnell scored three minutes later on a pass from Alex Handanyan, and James made it 3-0 with 5:47 remaining in the first quarter when he scooped up a turnover near midfield, sprinted up the middle, dodged a defender and scored.
Manown was first on the board again in the second quarter. He got his stick on the ball in a crowd just to the right of the cage and, while falling, shoveled a back-to-the-net low shot that caught the right corner for a 4-0 advantage. Less than a minute later, James picked up a groundball at midfield, rushed up the field and passed to Manown. He got the ball to DeSimone, who scored from in close. O'Donnell made it 6-0 when he flicked an easy overhand that caught the right side of the net. James assisted.
Moses Brown got on the board on a pair of goals by Bobby Penney three minutes apart. O'Donnell scored with 1:43 remaining in the half after DeSimone and Manown had hit the pipe.
DeSimone scored again just 17 seconds into the third quarter. Colby Farnham answered for MB 51 seconds later, and that was the Quakers' last goal of the season. DeSimone, Manown and O'Donnell scored again for MB for an 11-3 lead after three quarters. James, DeSimone and O'Donnell scored in the fourth quarter. After O'Donnell's goal with 4:32 to play, Steve O'Donnell inserted his reserves.
LA SALLE (14): Brady O'Donnell 5, Peter DeSimone 4, Joe Manown 2, Sam James 2, Mike Catarina; assists Joe Manown 2, Catarina 2, Matt Manown 2, Alex Handanyan 2, O'Donnell, James. MOSES BROWN (3): Bobby Penney 2, Colby Farnham; assists Jack Stallman, James McCahan. Saves, Matt Andrews, LS, 5; Tyler Wallick, MB, 3. Halftime, LS 7-2.

I live in Nebraska where the weather changes by the minute, and our temp at night is between 40 and 50 degrees so, I plant my bulbs about 4 to 5" deep, and they all come up fine. Been doing this for 10 years. |

The Portland-based Oregon Potato Commission has committed an extra $60,000 this year in funding for the potato variety development program at Oregon State University, said Bill Brewer, the commission's executive director.
Among those new varieties Brewer is most excited about is the AmaRosa, a red-skin/red-flesh variety the commission showed off to chefs at specialty cooking events in 2009.
This is the first year the variety has been released to growers, Brewer said, though it could be another year before the AmaRosa is on retail shelves.
Another new variety developed by Oregon State, however, will likely be available commercially this fall in small numbers, Brewer said.
The purple pelisse is a purple-skin/purple-flesh variety that Klamath Basin growers have exclusive rights to, he said.
The specialty variety succeeds, Brewer said, where some of its predecessors failed.
"It has good flavor and holds its color, which is something purple growers have had trouble with," he said.
Dave Long, chief executive officer of the Othello, Wash.-based United Fresh Potato Growers of Washington-Oregon, said he was looking forward to the day when a permanent replacement could be found for the norkotah russet.
Other russets have been extensively trialed in recent years, but so far, results have been mixed, he said.
One roadblock to innovation for a new fresh-market russet, Long said, is continued preference for a spud that suits more than one market.
"Everybody's looking for a multi-use variety, one that will work in processing and fresh," he said.
That doesn't always work out for the fresh market, however, Long said. Varieties processors like have a lot of dry matter. But spuds with higher dry matter tend to bruise more easily, lowering their value on the fresh market.
The solution, Long believes, is a russet designed specifically for the fresh market. One currently on the market, the rio grande, comes from Colorado, he said. Another, which commonly goes by the name pacific — though that is not its official name — was developed in Canada.
One member company in United Potato Co-op of Oregon and Washington has had success growing the rio grande, another has not, Long said.
Even if the variety proved successful for a number of growers, it would take at least two or three years to generate enough seed for the rio grande to have a significant effect on the russet market, he said.
Work is being done to find a russet alternative to the norkotah, Brewer said, but so far, progress has been limited.

I've noticed more and more guys sporting pocket squares- a throwback move of sorts, but I dig it. Is there a protocol on when and how to wear one? Everyone seems to have a different opinion on how to fold one and how much square to show.
There are many styles, each expressive of a certain attitude. Some men go for the casual plop, some for impeccably geometrical peaks, others for the basic rectangle. As for how much to show, this is one case where less is surely more.

Here are some commonly asked Dark Souls questions.
You need to free Dusk of Oolacile from inside the Golden Crystal Golem (by defeating it) that hides at the back of the Hydra's lake in Darkroot Basin. Then, you must reach the end of Anor Londo, obtain the Lordvessel, and place it on Firelink Altar. After that, enter Duke's Archives and defeat the Blue Crystal Golem near the first bonfire. It drops a Broken Pendant. Now return to where you fought the Gold Crystal Golem in Darkroot Basin to find a portal leading to the new content.
One easy method is to warp to the bonfire in The Depths. The surrounding areas contain undead rats. If you have the Covetous Gold Serpent Ring equipped, the chance of a rat dropping Humanity is relatively high. Having a high humanity count (up to 10) also increases your item discovery rate. You can farm 10-15 rats in the immediate vicinity before having to return to the bonfire.
You can also farm the baby skeletons in the Tomb of the Giants. They're found just before the fog door that leads to Gravelord Nito. They respawn infinitely.
The absolute best method, however, is killing the numerous Giant Humanities in the Chasm of the Abyss (part of the additional content). Guess what? They drop Humanity. Sometimes Twin Humanities. And are easy to kill. And there are lots. Remember to have the Gold Serpent Ring equipped.
Early in the game, the respawning enemy NPCs in the Darkroot Garden (see the appropriate section) beyond the sealed door drop 1000-3000 souls each. You can get the crest to open that door from Andre, who sells it for 20,000 souls. Later in the game, runs from the Gwynevere'schamber down through Anor Londo with the Covetous Silver Serpent Ringequipped is a good option.
If you're in human form, you can also leave your summon sign (using the White Sign Soapstone) near boss doors or pre-boss bonfires in the hopes that someone will summon you into battle. If you're victorious, you'll gain the boss's souls. Also make sure to put you sign in front of bosses that are appropriately matched to your current soul level.
This is in Sen's Fortress. See that section of the walkthrough for details.
This is in the Giant's Tomb. See that section of the walkthrough for details.
We're just giving you the areas. See those areas in our walkthrough for further details. Note that you only need to prompt the question to join and the achievement will unlock - you do not have to actually join.
Way of White: Speak to Petrus in
Firelink Shrine or Rhea in Undead Parish.
Forest Hunter: Speak to Alvina in
Darkroot Garden.
Chaos Servant: Speak to Quelaag's
Sister in Quelaag's Domain.
Gravelord Servant: Speak to Nito (if
alive) by resting in the coffin in The Catacombs.
Princess's Guard: Speak to Gwynevere in
Anor Londo.
Path of the Dragon: Speak to the
Everlasting Dragon in Ash Lake.
Blade of the Darkmoon: Pray on the mat
in front of Gwyndolin's fog door in Anor Londo.
Darkwraith: Speak to Kaathe in the
Abyss (under New Londo Ruins). Must not have given Lordvessel to Frampt.
Warrior of Sunlight: Pray at the altar
to the right of the bonfire underneath the Hellkite Dragon in Undead Parish.
You must defeat the dragon.
We're just going to list the area. See that area in the walkthrough for details.
Divine: Darkroot Garden, give to Andre
Large Divine: Tomb of the Giants, give
to Anrdre
Enchanted: Darkroot Garden, give to
Large Magic: Duke's Archives, give to
Large: The Depths, give to Andre
Very Large: New Londo Ruins, give to
Chaos Flame: Demon Ruins, give to Vamos
Large Flame: Demon Ruins, give to Vamos
Crystal: Duke's Archives, give to Giant
Dark: Painted World of Ariamis, give to
If an area is listed, see that area in our walkthrough for details.
Normal Slab: Stray Demom (Undead Asylum)
drop (assured), Darkwraith drop (rare), Chest in Royal Wood, Siegmeyer
questline reward.
Red Slab: Chest in Lost Izalith, Chaos
Eater drop (rare), trade for an ascended Pyromancy flame with Snuggly.
Blue Slab: Chest in Crystal Cave,
Crystal Butterfly drop (rare).
White Slab: Chest in Tomb of Giants,
Minor Pinwheel drop (rare).
Dragon Scales are dropped by the Hyrdas in Darkroot Basin and Ash Lake. You can also find several more scales on corpses in Ash Lake. They are a rare drop from the Drakes in the Valley of the Drakes. You can also join the Path of the Dragon covenant (speak to the Everlasting Dragon in Ash Lake) and use the Dragon Eye to challenge other players for Dragon Scales.
From Titanite Demons (aka Prowling Demons)! Unfortunately, these do not respawn with one exception: the demon guarding the shortcut bridge between the Demon Ruins and Lost Izalith. If you don't have the Chaos Servant allegiance level required to open the door (level 2), then reach this bridge from the Bed of Chaos boss door in Lost Izalith. You can also trade a Dung Pie or Prism Stone for one with Snuggly the Crow.
As you play through Dark Souls, you'll either find this titanite in chests or obtain it from Crystal Lizards. Crystal Lizards tend to run away and burrow underground when you get close, but they'll only disappear permanently if you kill them. Twinkling Titanite is a rare drop from the Stone Knights in the Royal Wood. You can also buy Twinkling Titanite from the Giant Blacksmith. Finally, you can trade a Bloodred Moss Clump or Purple Moss Clump for one with Snuggly the Crow.
On the side of the upward slope leading out of the undead asylum, you'll notice a small crow's nest. You can drop items inside this nest, quit your game, reload, and a new item will be in its place. You've just traded with Snuggly the Crow.
Disclaimer: Yes, we know these probably aren't the best possible options in the game, but we know Dark Souls pretty darn well, and we know what works for this walkthrough's character build, which focuses on Dexterity and Faith.
In some of our early videos, we're using a fully upgraded Lightning Spear (found in Sen's Fortress)
We then switch to Quelaag's Furysword. To get that sword, you'll need to first give the Large Ember to Andre. Then, upgrade any Scimitar or Falchion to +10. Finally, take that sword to the Giant Blacksmith in Anor Londo. He can use Quelaag's Soul (obtained by defeating Quelaag) to create Quelaag's Furysword. The weapon can then be ascended to +5 using Demon Titanite. This sword worked well for us since its damage scales with Dexterity. Also, because it is a Chaos Weapon, its damage also scales up with your Humanity count (peaking at 10 Humanity).
In later videos, we're using a fully upgraded Divine Great Scythe. The Great Scythe can be found in the Catacombs. Get the Divine Ember (found in Darkroot Garden) to Andre. Ascend the scythe to at least +5, then have Andre convert it into a divine weapon. To ascend that to +10, you'll need to give the Large Divine Ember (found in the Tomb of Giants) to Andre. This weapon scales with strength, dexterity, and especially faith (like all divine weapons).
Finally, in the Manus, Father of Abyss video, we are using a Balder Side Sword (dropped by Balder Knights in Undead Parish) fully upgraded to level 15 so as to scale with our relatively high dexterity. This arguably the best non-elemental weapon for dexterity builds.
Summon help! If you're in human form and online, there should be plenty of summon signs near boss doors. Having an ally with nothing to lose alongside you during a boss fight can make things more than twice as easy. Remember: members of the Warrior of Sunlight covenant must help in boss fights to level up in their covenant, so they are eager to leave their signs.

Soccer bashers and advocates for soccer often take on roles in the United States resembling bickering marriage partners, rehearsing old lines and grievances in a zero-sum debate in which the game acquires the capacity to corrupt or to save. Guardian Unlimited writer Steven Wells (see 31 Oct 07) compiles a roster of the sport's critics, including some unexpected voices from academia, and adds an important observation often missing in the meaningless discussion over whether soccer will displace American games ("The Truth the Soccerphobes Refuse to Face," Jan 17).

I have heard that phrase thrown around on this forum and I am curious to exactly what it means. Is it when the tomatoes are just starting to get some color or is it when they are almost ripe? Or someplace in between. I have been picking mine when they are almost ripe and let them sit indoors to finish. But I have noticed that different varieties ripen differently. For example, my San Marzanos get red on the bottom while staying green on top until I pick them and let them sit for a few days and the green part turns red. So far this system is working for me, but wondering if there is more explanation to the picking at color break. Thanks |
Follow-Up Postings:
It's when they are just starting to get some color. If time, or varments, or cracking due to rainfall isn't an issue, I'll let mine sit on the vine as long as possible. |
Color break is the first flash of color developing on the blossom end of the fruit. The links to pictures and definitions are included in many of the previous discussions of this question but I'll direct link one of them for you below. Dave |
Here is a link that might be useful: Guide to ripening stages of tomato
Thanks for clarifying that for me. Dave, you just crack me up sometimes!!! You are always on top of things :) That link was a huge help. Diane |

Commercial growers refer to 4 color breaks: Breaker 1, just a blush at the blossom end\ Then totally ripe, not a breaker stage. Carolyn |
I know color break is usually when color first develops on the blossom end. What about when the first color showing is on the shoulders or the side of the fruit, but there is no color on the blossom end? I always have some that this happens to late season, and I do again now. We have been getting night time lows in the mid 40s 2-3 times/week then back up to lows above 50 again. Does plant stress or cold do it? Would you still pick or wait for the blossom end to show color? I don't know why some ripen in a funky way, but right now I have one on the counter that is red 75% around the tomato but one side is stubbornly green. |
