Posted by vtdad on 7/6 at 9:33 am to RattleheadQuestion, if I may....How do you guys make those Godfather pics? I've tried to make one (using Paintnet) but it's nothing like what you guys make. I've been working an ungodly amount of overtime due to the storm trouble outages. (I work for the Power Co. AEP) I try to make at least 1 or 2 pics each time I am lucky enough to get to my PC.
Reason: there is a guy on the uva 247 board that's calling himself The Godfather to recruits. reportedly he is behind the scenes offering money,etc. parties, other favors.... ala UNC of late. SO I am wanting to make a Mike London (uva coach) Godfather pic. I just can't figure out how to get that silhouette looking image!!! any help is appreciated.

quote:Good to see you. It's been a while. Nice to hear you've kept working on digital photomanipulation.
There are several ways to get that "Godfather" style image. We'll cover a few.
1. First of all, you are going to need to mask your character to seperate him from the background. Picking a good source image will be important. Images that have a lot of contrast already (wide changes between light and dark parts of the images) will lend themselves to better results using this technique.
Image: http://static.guim.co.uk/sys-images/BOOKS/Pix/pictures/2012/2/22/1329910745597/The-Godfather-007.jpg
2. Place that render on a black background.
3. This is where things can get a little complicated. The following image has the brightness and contrast changed.
Image: http://www.thenoobnews.com/uploads/2012/03/godfather.jpg width= 400
So using Paint.net, go to Adjustments>Brightness/Contrast. Take the contrast all the way to 100. You should be left with a black and white image. Now, change the brightness. You are going to have to play with this to get it right.
Now, if you want the image only monochrome (black and white), you are probably going to have to some tracing. This is where it can get difficult. It may be tracing but it's a lot like drawing. This is where vector art usually starts.
The result can be something like this:
Image: http://samaita.com/vectoor/wp-content/uploads/2012/03/Vectoor-Don-Vito-Corleone.jpg
(not my work, found using Google images)
This particular image used a type of vector trace but you can still see where it was cleaned up by hand. These can be very labor intensive depending on how detailed you want to get.

Posted by When in Rome on 7/7 at 10:29 pm to timdallingerThis is kind of a general question for anyone who uses Gimp...
So I FINALLY figured out how to install the Gimp Animation Package on my Mac via Macports, Xcode, and Terminal. However, after restarting Gimp and X11, the Video menu was nowhere to be found.
Does anyone have any insight? Because Google sure as hell doesn't

Posted by Schwartz on 7/7 at 10:35 pm to When in RomeDid you install GIMP from MacPorts too, or just the normal install?

Posted by UltimateHog on 7/26 at 9:42 pm to SchwartzI need some help, trying to make my first gif from the Dodgers Cardinals game today - Hairstons reaction to Mottes 99mph that went right next to his face just missing him...
I used my iPhone to record it from the TV, sent it to my email, saved it (.MOV) I used Bigasoft Total Video Converter to convert it from .MOV to .GIF, and used Photoshop CS6 to remove the first 22 layers that were unwanted, and cropped/centered it. Then hit save for web, edited the size, and saved.
Uploaded to photobucket, but when it restarts, it goes blank like below. How can I fix this/why does it do this?
Reply Back to Top
Posted by InVolNerable on 7/26 at 10:10 pm to UltimateHogDid you actually delete the the frames of the first 22 layers, or did you just delete the layers? If you just deleted the layers then the frames of the gif are still there, they are just blank resulting in skipping.
Reply Back to Top
Posted by UltimateHog on 7/26 at 10:17 pm to InVolNerable
Yeah I just deleted the layers the first time, went back and deleted the frames but it's still doing it?
ETA: Got it, just started over and it worked, maybe deleting the layers first is what caused it.

Posted by timdallinger on 8/3 at 1:37 pm to UltimateHogNot really a Fark question; more a html code/forum posting inquiry.
How have some of ya'll gotten so slick at posting images? Specifically, how do you hyperlink an image to take you to the full size version?
I know the "width = xxxx" after the image address then the [/img]code but I can't seem to figure out the url syntax for hyperlinks.

Create a link and in the link title insert the full URL of the image you want to display in your post with [img] tags around it.

Posted by bobbyray21 on 8/4 at 10:49 am to timdallingerI have a question about how to make .gifs. I did read through the thread, and it sounds like either gifsoup or benderconverter are the best tools to use if one is working from a youtube video. But what if you didn't have the video available on youtube?
Basically, this .gif was available about a minute after the match was over. So I'm assuming that the video was not pulled from youtube. So how would one go about creating .gif such as this?

1) Capture of live video stream to file using a tool like Net Transport
2) Captured video file imported into Photoshop and cut/edited
3) Create GIF
You could also pull from your sat/cable box with video capture hardware (Hauppauge makes some cool shit) or even screen capture to video with a tool like CamStudio.

Interesting. I'm not familiar with any of those tools.
My best guess was that they burned it to a DVD from their DVR. But that process is probably too slow for as quickly as they got it up.

How many of you would like to see a TT bag tag? It would be great to identify other TT members on the course and a great way to promote Team Titleist to golfers that have never heard of it.
2 years ago
Hi Team Titleist, Can I receive one of those TT bag tag, will look awesome on my T83 golf bag, Thanks, TT.
I've been playing DCI962s since 1997, and they've never left my bag...now if I could only bring myself to open the new box of Professional 90s (red number, not black!) it could be a time-warp back to 1999!
No matter what that bag-tag looks awesome, and I'd be proud to add one to my bag.
I'd definitely put one on my bag!
As a long time Titleist customer with 14 Titleist clubs in the bag, and one of the few at my course committed to quality, yeah - I'd rock the TT bag tag.
Thanks for all of the feedback! Glad to hear you guys are digging the bag tags.
In terms of getting your hands on one, the first step is making sure your profile is 100% complete.
From there, the more you participate and the more engaged you are with Team Titleist, from posting in the discussions and adding blog comments, the better your chances are at potentially opening the doors to these Team Titleist opportunities.
We'll be sending some more out shortly, so make sure your profile is up-to-date. You don't want someone at your old address sporting your Team Titleist gear. :)
Great looking bag tags! I hope I have one waiting on me!!!
Thanks for the awesome bag tag TT, received it in the mail yesterday and it will proudly be displayed on my new Titleist cart bag for everyone to see!
I am in! I would love to proudly display that I am part of Team Titleist. Let me know how to make that happen.
I'd love one to show my titleist pride!!!
Just received mine, very nice, and thank you.
Team Titleist, I recieved a Team Titleist bag tag in the mail yesterday. I immediately put it on my bag, looks GREAT. Thanks Titleist, now if we could only get rid of the 14 inches of snow on the ground. Dave Blasiman Salem, Ohio
I would love 1 for my Bag
I would love one! My bag stays at the course I work at so all the members and my co workers can see the tag as well even when I'm not playing!
I can't imagine any TT member NOT wanting a bag tag, especially if they use a Titleist golf bag.

|Head Coach/Academic Advisor for Athletics
|(352) 588-7256
|Alma Mater:
|Central Michigan University, 2005
Melissa Mangen was named Head Cross Country Coach on December 10, 2008 and is entering her fourth full year as the Lions' head coach.
2011 was another year of growth for the Lions' men's and women's cross country programs. The men saw a pair of runs by racer Brian Haynes enter the program's top-10 list, including an 8K mark of 27:15.05 (Fourth all-time) at the SSC Championships. Seven other top times fell in the 10K, including the program's first six spots, all of which occurred in the team's trip to the NCAA South Region run. The women also enjoyed their most successful year to date. Tereza Novotna asserted herself as one of the league's top runner as she earned SSC Freshman of the Year and Runner of the Year honors. She broke each of the program's top overall times in the 5K and 6K, while earning individual medalist honors at the conference run. In total, Mangen's guidance helped Novotna to eight awards, including the program's first NCAA Championship appearance. The 2011 squad populated the record book as three different runners earned a spot in the record books.
The 2010 season for both the men's and women's cross country teams was a historic one. On the men's side, six individuals made their way on to the top-10 all-time list in the 8K, five of which happened at the SSC Championships. In addition, the men also recorded their highest team finish in team history with a second place showing at the flrunners.com Meet. It was just as successful on the women's side as four women cracked all-time 5K list. Andrea Maxwell recorded the fastest 5K time in Saint Leo history as she recorded a time of 19:11.38. Maxwell also recorded the highest finish at the SSC Championships by any Saint Leo runner as she finished seventh and was named to the All-Championship team. The women also recorded a season-best thrid-place finish at the flrunners.com Meet.
2009 was a fantastic season for the Lions, as both the men's and women's teams broke a combined six school records, including five by the women. Mangen's groups also excelled in the classroom once again as both teams were named to the U.S. Track and Field and Cross Country Coaches Association (USTFCCCA) All-Academic list. A trio of women runners also earned All-Academic honors, as Luthman, Browne, and Egan earned GPA's over 3.25 for the year.
An assistant coach at Saint Leo for a year prior to being elevated to the head position, Mangen began the Lions' turnaround as they posted the best Sunshine State Conference finish in the program's history. Setting a school records in 2008, the Lions posted seven top-10 performances in Saint Leo history. Continuing a tradition of excellent academics under Mangen's guidance, the women's cross country team posted the highest GPA in the Department of Athletics in 2008.
Mangen came to Saint Leo after a two-year stint as assistant coach at the University of South Florida where she worked with both the Bulls' Cross Country and Track & Field Teams. During her time at the Division I school in Tampa, Fla., she helped coach nine USF runners to the Big East All-Conference Team while 11 posted all-time top performances. With her assistance, South Florida runners posted the top team GPA in Division I.
Her first crack at coaching came in 2005 when she was named assistant coach at Saginaw Valley State University in Saginaw, Mich. For two seasons, Mangen help pilot a program that advanced to the NCAA Division II National Championships, ultimately posting a fifth-place finish. She coached an All-American, three NCAA Qualifiers and 32 All-Great Lakes Intercollegiate Athletic Conference Performers and also had a GLIAC Male Scholar-Athlete of the Year while working for the Cardinals.
Mangen is a native of Portland, Michigan and earned her Master of Education degree from Saginaw Valley State in 2008. She earned her Bachelor of Science, Exercise Science and Psychology from Central Michigan University in 2005 where she was also a seven-time Mid American All-Conference honoree. Named the Chippewa's Track & Field Rookie of the Year in 2000, Mangen was also a four-time team champion and currently ranks in the top five all-time in best times for the indoor mile and 3000 meter races at Central Michigan.
Mangen serves in dual roles at Saint Leo as she is also an academic advisor for the school's Center for Online Learning located in Dade City, Fla.
Mangen currently resides in Wesley Chapel, Fla. with her husband, Paul, their son, Jack, and their daughter, Reese.

Latest update : 2012-08-13
Cyber war in Syria
The Syrian conflict moves onto the web. The gun control debate rages online in the US. And an airline is fined in Vietnam for a bikini show.
Cyber war in Syria
"Protecting your account means protecting your friends" and "protecting your passwords means protecting the revolution". Urged on by a student organisation, young Syrians, based in the country and abroad made these signs to warn opposition fighters about piracy attempts.
Since the start of the revolt, the Syrian regime has tried to infiltrate activist networks online. Security forces are thought to be using torture to obtain the passwords of militants arrested to access their social network accounts. And in recent months, copies of sites such as Facebook and Youtube have even been created to trick cyber activists and gather personal data.
But in this cyber war, opponents are supported by hacker groups. The group, Anonymous regularly attack the regime's official sites, while the Telecomix collective provide advice to opposition fighters to help them ensure that online communication remains secure.
The aim is to protect them from attacks led by the electronic Syrian army, a group of IT pirates, working for the Damascus regime. And their work not only targets opposition fighters, they are also propaganda agents who flood social networks with messages praising Bachar al-Assad.
The hackers also target international media. Last week, a Twitter account of the Reuters press agency was pirated to spread false information about rebels in the Syrian free army.
USA: shooting survivors demand end to gun violence
Bill Badger, Pat Maisch and Pam Simon were injured during the Tucson shooting, which left six dead in January 2011 in the Arizona town. In this video diffused online, they call on presidential candidates, Barack Obama and Mitt Romney, to propose a bill to control guns in the country. They believe that forty eight thousand Americans could be killed by firearms during the next presidential mandate if no action is taken.
The video was created by an association of anti-gun Mayors. Their campaign is accompanied by a website on which net users can sign a petition addressed to the two White House hopefuls.
The killing, which left twelve dead at a cinema in Colorado on July 20, reopened the online gun control debate. As shown by this graph published on the Mashable site, online discussions reached a peak, particularly following the publication of this editorial in the Wall Street Journal. An article according to which an additional mandate by Barack Obama could ring the death knell of the second amendment of the US constitution, which guarantees citizens the right to carry firearms.
The debate returned to the forefront after six people were killed during a shooting in a Sikh temple in Wisconsin state.
But the topic is sensitive in this electoral period. And instead of legislating on firearms, Democrat representatives recently proposed a bill aiming to limit online ammunition sales. According to police, James Holmes, the alleged perpetrator of the Aurora shooting was able to buy six thousand rounds of ammunition online.
Wedding proposal photo goes viral
Joel Bush and Jennifer Orr thought they were alone that summer night when he proposed to her in a deserted park in Austin, Texas. But little did they know, the romantic moment was immortalised by Patrick Lu, a photographer who was there by chance. The day after, much to their surprise, the couple discovered the beautiful image posted online by the photographer and they were delighted to have a souvenir of the magic moment.
Webcams make Alaska bears "accessible"
A few weeks ago webcams were installed in Katmai national park, Alaska. The aim is to allow net users to observe brown bears who live in this nature reserve, which is very difficult to access for tourists. One of the webcams in particular is trained on a river in which males fish for salmon at this time of year. A spectacle of nature that can now be viewed live on your computer.
Video of the day
To celebrate the launch of a new flight between Ho Chi Minh city and Nha Trang, the low cost airline, Vietjet Air organised a bikini fashion show on board a plane, much to the enjoyment of the gentlemen on the maiden voyage.

See all the Irish Counties we've covered so far!
Irish Name: Luimneach
County Town: Limerick
Nickname: The Shannonsiders
GAA Colors: Green and white
Population: 148,000 approx
Area: 1,064 square miles
Province: Munster
Famous People with Limerick roots: Frank McCourt, Sylvester O'Halloran, Patrice de Mac-Mahon (Marshal of France), William de Burgh, Mick Moloney
Common Surnames in Limerick: Ryan, Fitzgerald, O'Brien, O'Connor, Hayes, Moloney, O'Shaughnessy, Walsh, Sullivan, Bourke, Madigan, Collopy and Wolfe.
A Brief History:
Limerick is a riverside city with the River Shannon flowing through it. Limerick is a vibrant city with a combination of big city amenities and small town friendliness. This makes it a wonderful location to learn English. It is the third largest city in Ireland with a population of roughly 90,000, with 20,000 third level students from the University of Limerick, Mary Immaculate College and the Limerick Institute of Technology.
Limerick has many cultural attractions, some fascinating historic sights, fashionable bars, charming old pubs, glossy shops, smart restaurants and boutique hotels, cinemas, theatres, museums and a wide variety of sports amenities. It would be difficult to imagine a better or more central location from which to explore the many attractions of the West of Ireland.
Key Attractions:
Many places offer the bright lights, noise and action of the big city. Others offer the tranquility of a rural setting. Limerick is one of exceptional that provides both. Limerick City is one of Ireland's biggest cities and is the bearer of a proud heritage dating back over 800 years. The rural parts of the county include large tracts of the Golden Vale, a part of Ireland called such for the richness of the land and the beauty of the region.
Possibly the most notable feature of Limerick City is King John's Castle constructed in 1210 which dominates the city. Built by the Normans, the castle now holds a visitor center providing an information and images of the city going back through the centuries.
Of course Limerick has become known internationally thanks to the writing of one of its more famous sons Frank McCourt, whose book "Angela's Ashes" was made into a successful movie. A walking tour based on locations featured in the book is now available and a popular way to see Limerick.
Venturing out from Limerick City the visitor will find himself surrounded by a picturesque countryside with charming towns and villages running along the banks of the Shannon. These towns and villages are great centers for watersports and as the river broadens out into the Shannon estuary sailing becomes more and more popular with several sailing clubs along the coast.
Down the river in the town of Foynes, the Flying Boat Museum recalls the period of the 1930's and early 1940's when Foynes was the hub for air traffic between Europe and America. In those years flying boats dominated air travel on the north Atlantic route and visitors can relive that time at the museum, which features interactive exhibits, illustrations and audio-visuals. Limerick is very proud of the part it played in the growth of transatlantic travel.
With the beauty spots of Cork, Kerry and the rest of the Shannon basin within easy reach Limerick City provides the perfect base from which to tour the rest of the county and beyond. But with the beauty and range of activities available you might not want to leave.

ECG: Atrial Premature Beats
Photo size: small | high
An ECG strip shows the presence of atrial premature (ectopic) beats, which are heartbeats that occur in addition to a normal heartbeat. Atrial premature beats are seen as premature atrial electrical signals (P') interrupting a regular pattern of electrical signals (P). A normal ECG strip is shown at the bottom for comparison.

The Wizard of Oz Information
About the Show:
The Wizard of Oz is undoubtedly one of the most well-known and beloved stories of all time. L. Frank Baum's classic Oz books, especially The Wonderful Wizard of Oz (1900) began the history, and the enormously popular 1939 film starring the incomparable Judy Garland catapulted the franchise into the hearts of millions and made the story a cherished piece of Americana (and subsequently and international sensation). The dramatic and heartwarming tale enchants new audiences every day and the stage version brings the excitement up close and personal, so grab your Wizard of Oz tickets now!
In the stage musical, fans can expect all the magic of the film: the vivid costumes, from quaint Munchkin outfits to fabulous Emerald City garb; the lush sets, including the gloomy Haunted Forest and the Wizard's regal palace; and the memorable songs, including "Ding-Dong! The Witch is Dead," "We're Off to See The Wizard," "If I Only Had [a brain, a heart, the nerve]," and of course, "Somewhere Over the Rainbow." The Wizard of Oz is truly a treasure, and now fans can witness its magic live!
Plot Synopsis:
On a farm in rural Kansas, young Dorothy lives with her Aunt Em, Uncle Henry, and three farm hands: Hickory, Hunk, and Zeke. When a nasty neighbor, Almira Gulch, is bitten by Dorothy's dog, Toto, she tries to have him destroyed, but Dorothy runs away with him. She meets a traveling fortune teller named Professor Marvel who convinces her to return home by telling her that Aunt Em has taken ill. But on her way home, a tornado strikes. Everyone goes into the storm cellar, but Dorothy is too late; she enters the house and is knocked out by a falling window frame as it is carried into the sky.
When Dorothy awakens, she finds herself in a strange new land. After meeting the diminutive Munchkins and the glamorous Glinda, the Good Witch of the North, she learns that her house has fallen on and killed the Wicked Witch of the East, and her sister, the Wicked Witch of the West, is outraged. The Wicked Witch seeks revenge and the magical ruby slippers that Glinda took from the body of the Witch of the East and gave to Dorothy to protect her. Glinda advises Dorothy that to get back home, she'll need to follow the Yellow Brick Road to the Emerald City and speak to the great Wizard of Oz.
On her way, Dorothy meets three friends: the Scarecrow, who doesn't have a brain; the Tin Man, who doesn't have a heart; and the Cowardly Lion, who doesn't have any courage. They resolve to achieve their desires together by beseeching the Wizard for help. When they finally reach the Emerald City and are admitted to see the Wizard, he appears as a terrifying, disembodied, floating head. He offers to help them but demands that they first kill the Wicked Witch of the West and bring him her broomstick.
The team sets out for the Witch's castle, but she sends her flying monkeys to capture Dorothy and Toto and imprison them in the castle. When the Witch discovers that the slippers can not be removed unless Dorothy dies, she leaves to think about how to accomplish this. Meanwhile, the Scarecrow, Tin Man, and Cowardly Lion sneak into the castle and free Dorothy. After a heated standoff, Dorothy throws a pail of water on the Witch and she melts. They seize the broomstick and head back to the Emerald City.
When they arrive at the Wizard's palace, they discover that he is a fraud who has no real power. But he makes them all see that they have always had the qualities they thought they were missing, as shown by their recent adventures. When the Wizard resolves to return to his home, he agrees to take Dorothy with him, but his hot air balloon flies away before she can board. Thankfully, Glinda appears and tells her that she always had the power to return home, by clicking her heels together and repeating "There's no place like home." Order your The Wizard of Oz tickets to relive this classic story live onstage!

Please note that as of October 24, 2014, the Nokia Developer Wiki will no longer be accepting user contributions, including new entries, edits and comments, as we begin transitioning to our new home, in the Windows Phone Development Wiki. We plan to move over the majority of the existing entries. Thanks for all your past and future contributions.
Promoting Asha apps on Nokia store with AppsBeacon
This article explains how to promote your Nokia Asha and Series 40 apps on the Nokia Store using the new AppsBeacon service and SDK.
Nokia Asha
Nokia Asha Platform 1.0
Series 40
Series 40 DP 2.0
Series 40 DP 1.1
Nokia Belle
There are an enormous number of apps, and even if you have a great app you still need some way to reach and promote it to new users. There are a number of options for this: you can try send the apps to blogs and news sites hoping they will write about you, you can buy expensive advertising or you can count on luck to be featured by the Nokia store.
Another alternative is to use the new AppsBeacon service. AppsBeacon is a new free discovery and cross-promotion service designed for app developers to help them spread their app and reach more users within the Nokia store. It is composed of the web console where you register and enter data about your app and a SDK (currently only for Java apps) that you integrate into your app with a single line of code.
With AppsBeacon you can reach new users with the power of free fully automated cross-promotion through other developers and app owners. Your app is constantly exposed to new users that otherwise would never know it exists.
How does it work?
AppsBeacon offers developers a complete platform for app cross-promotion between your apps and other developers apps.
You add your app data on the web console and gets an app ID back, you integrate the AppsBeacon SDK into your app and call the SDK with the app ID you got from what console (you can call the sdk from anywhere within the app for instance in a "more apps" button or at the end of the app run).
When you call the SDK it connects to the AppsBeacon service and retrieves apps and banners to show to the users. Your app earn credits, which are used to show that app and its banner on other apps that call to the SDK. For every 10 credits your apps earn, 8 credits will be used to show your app banner and 2 will be reserved for use by AppsBeacon.
How to use AppsBeacon
Step 1: Register
Register a user name on the web console at http://console.appsbeacon.com/Account/Register.aspx and verify your email in the verification email that will be sent to you.
Step 2: Add App
In the Apps section click the New App button and in the following screen enter your app Nokia Store URL to create it automatically (or create it manually).
You can then find the App ID in the app information screen
Step 3: Integrate the SDK
Download the [SDK http://console.appsbeacon.com/Actions/Sdk.aspx] from the SDK section and call to its one line of code from a place within your app
SDK.showBannersSync(MIDlet, APP_ID, TRANSITION_TYPE, RUN_IN_NEW_THREAD);
You can watch how many credits your apps earn and how many clicks your app received in the reports section of the web console.
The more apps and calls to the SDK you integrate with the service the more new users will be exposed to your apps that wont know of them otherwise. This service is brand new to the Nokia store and it one-of-a-kind to the Nokia store, such service are available on other apps stores and are helping developers increase their downloads and get new users.
It is a win-win situation for developers to use it.

PediPeds baby shoes are hand-stitched, soft leather sole baby shoes ideal for pre-crawlers, cruisers and walkers. You will love the quality and adorable styles of these 100% genuine leather baby shoes. PediPeds offer the benefits of a soft-sole shoe, which is recommended by pediatricians for developing feet. Two layers of thick leather plus a PediFoam insert for ultimate protection. Easy to put on and remove velcro straps. Ideal for indoor & outdoor use. To clean shoes, use a baby wipe or a damp cloth. This will remove even the most stubborn dirt and stains. We do not recommend machine washing your PediPeds baby shoes.
Pediatricians and Podiatric Physicians Recommend:
-Flexible sole. The sole of the shoe should be thick enough for protection while allowing the foot to move as naturally as possible. Bend the shoe at the ball. It should bend easily.
-Non-Slip sole. Traction is important, too, so check the texture of the sole to make sure it provides adequate traction.
-Deep, wide toe box. Young toes are chubby and need plenty of room to wiggle. A tight toe box is best avoided, as it squeezes the toes together and can cause bunions and other deformities.
-Soft, breathable non-toxic leather upper. Avoid plastic or imitation leather, or shoes that can cause excessive sweating.
-Exercise. Children need lots of activity and exercise. Provide an opportunity for baby to crawl, kick, cruise or walk whenever he can.
