Super-Resolution Barak Zackay Yaron Kassner Outline • Introduction to Super-Resolution • Reconstruction Based Super Resolution – An Algorithm – Limits on Reconstruction Based Super Resolution • Example Based Super Resolution – Halucination – Example Based – Single Image Super Resolution • Summary Introduction to Super Resolution Definition of the Problem • Super-resolution is the process of combining multiple low resolution images to form a higher resolution one. • No cheating! – Resulting image should represent reality better than all the input images. The Imaging Process Physical Properties • Each camera suffers from some inherent optical issues: – Finite size of the aperture - generates blur, modeled by the Point-Spread-Function (PSF). – Noise Mathematical Model • Each pixel in the resulting image is given by: • Loi(m) – the i-th LR image in pixel m. • Ei (x) – total photon count from the direction x • PSFi – Point Spread Function Deresolution • Given HR image • Project to LR image • Each LR pixel is a linear combination LR of HR pixels HR HR HR Reconstruction-based Super Resolution • Reconstruct hidden HR pixels out of known linear combinations. LR LR HR HR HR HR LR HR HR LR HR Example-Based Super Resolution • Use prior knowledge to reconstruct a HR image. Prior Knowledge of faces Reconstruction Based Super Resolution from Improving Resolution by Image Registration Michal Irani and Shmuel Peleg Basic Idea • The HR image should create the LR images when deresoluted. Notation • gk : The kth observed LR image. • f n : The approximation to the HR image after n iterations. • g : The LR image obtained by applying the k n simulated imaging process to f n. • h PSF : The point spread function of the imaging blur. • x : a HR pixel • y : a LR pixel influenced by x • z y : The center of the receptive field of y. Problem Formulation • Find a HR image f n , that gives g n g . – Algorithm Overview • Register the LR images. • Guess the HR image f . 0 n • Iteration n: n – Simulate the imaging process to create gk from f n . – Compare gk n and g . k – Correct f n in the direction of the error. • output f n Registration LR LR LR LR LR LR LR LR LR LR HR HR HR HR LR HR HR LR HR Iteration • Take the current guess. n • Decrease its resolution to get g k • Update each HR pixel x according to the error in all LR pixels (y) it influences.c is a constant normalizing factor. – c is a constant normalizing factor. – Yk,x is the group of all pixels y that are influenced by x. – hxy BP is a back-projection kernel applied on x z y that represents the way the HR pixel x should be updated from y.

Evil Example • Suppose we want to increase the resolution by exactly M=2. • Lets look on a checkboard like scene, where each pixel is either white or black. LR HR HR HR Information is Inherently Missing • The resulting image would be grey independently from the offset of the LR image! • Conclusion: some information is inherently missing on our LR images! When M is not an Integer LR HR HR HR Limits of Super-Resolution • Size of LR images: N pixels. • Size of HR image: NM 2 pixels. • Each HR pixel can be added noise of amplitude smaller than M 2 which wont change the LR image! • Volume of possible HR solutions: O(M 2N) 1 • It can be shown that under practical considerations the effective magnification factor (M) is bounded by 1.6, no matter how many LR images are taken2. 1 Limits on Super-Resolution and How to Break Them, Simon Baker and Takeo Kanade 2 Fundamental Limits of Reconstruction-Based Superresolution Algorithms under Local Translation, Zhouchen Lin, and Heung-Yeung Shum Break • Introduction to Super-Resolution • Reconstruction Based Super Resolution – An Algorithm – Limits on Reconstruction Based Super Resolution • Example Based Super Resolution – Halucination – Example Based – Single Image Super Resolution • Summary Example Based Super Resolution Introduction to Example-Based Super Resolution • Reconstruction constraints are not enough. • One has to use prior knowledge of the image to break the reconstruction limits. • The following algorithms will use priors learned from databases of example images. Recogstruction or Hallucination from Limits on Super-Resolution and How to Break Them Simon Baker and Takeo Kanade General Idea • Find a HR image Su that satisfies two kinds of constraints: – Reconstruction constraints: When projected to the LR dimensions, the image is similar to the observed input images. – Recognition constraints: The pixels of Su should resemble pixels from images in the DB that where found to have similar features to the observed LR images' features. MAP formulation • To solve the problem, given the LR images, we need to find the HR image that maximizes - Su: the HR image Reconstruction Constraints - Lo: the LR images Recognition Constraints Reconstruction Constraints • The probability of the LR images given the HR image can be computed from the distance between the deresoluted HR image and the LR images. – : the noise variance – PSF: Point Spread Function – ri z : The pixel in Lo that corresponds to pixel z in Su. – m: a LR pixel index Recognition: LR features • We use "Parent Structures" to describe LR features. Recognition: Choosing the Pixels from the DB PS = Parent Structure F = Features – like First deriviative, or Laplacian Formulation of Recognition Constraints • Instead of estimating the probability of the HR image, Su, we estimate its probability given each pixel's "recognition". H0 – Horizontal derivative V0 – Vertical derivative. - Variance of the recognition errors. T - the training images. BI – best images for the pixels of the LR images. BP – best pixel indices in the best images for the pixels of the LR images. Ci,BP,BI – Class of all images that would have the Best corresponding Images BI, and the Best corresponding Pixels BP in the db. - The function that fits a LR pixel index to the corresponding HR pixel index. 2k – the ratio between the HR image scale and the LR image scale. Maximization • Note that the function we need to maximize is quadratic with the HR image's pixels. • Do gradient descent. Algorithm Summary • Preliminary work: – Take a training set of images. – Build a DB that matches parent structures to HR pixels. • Compute the reconstruction constraints. • For each LR image: – For each HR pixel index: • Search for the corresponding parent structure in the DB. • Find the HR image that fits best both the reconstruction constraints and the HR pixels extracted from the database. Comparison Comparison Best and Worst Image Noise Effect Image Size Hallucination Hallucination Results on Text Example Based Super Resolution William T. Freeman, Thouis R. Jones and Egon C. Pasztor Algorithm Overview • Construct a DB of matching LR-HR patches • Algorithmically find the most coherent patch assignment to generate a good image Constructing the DB • Given a DB of images • Make a table from LR patches to HR patches. • Each image in the DB is treated as follows: – Take each 7x7 patch from the image and deresolute into a 5x5 patch – Normalize the 5x5 patches to have the same mean and relative contrast. – Arrange the DB by the low frequencies of the LR patches Local Patch Matching • Match a LR patch to a HR patch from the DB, using low frequencies. • Get an estimation to the unknown (high) frequencies, based on the match. • Remaining problem: match between neighboring overlapping patches. Global Patch Matching • Run over patches from left to right and from top to bottom • Match each patch its nearest neighbor in the DB using the predetermined patches as additional constraints. Algorithm Wasach Wasach Wasach Cubic-spline Super-resolution True high-resolution image Wasach Complete Failure Priors are definitely used! Super Resolution From a Single Image Daniel Glaser, Shai Bagon and Michal Irani Patch Redundancy in a Single Image Employing in-scale Patch Redundancy Employing Cross-scale Patch Redundancy • Build a cascade of decreasing resolution images from the LR image. • For each patch in the LR image, search for its Nearest Neighbour in the even lower resolution image. • Take the found neighbour's parent in the original LR image and copy it to be the HR image. Combining the Methods Wasach Bicubic interpolation Unified single-image SR (x3) Ground truth image Wasach Bicubic interpolation Unified single-image SR (x3) Wasach Wasach Wasach Wasach Wasach Wasach Wasach Wasach Wasach Summary • We have presented two basic approaches for super resolution: – Reconstruction-based – which simply tries to reverse the imaging process – Example-based – which uses example images to reconstruct the original image. • We have shown that there are limits to reconstruction based methods, which are independent of the number of LR images we use. • We have presented an algorithm that combines both approaches to achieve SR from a single image.

Rachel made the airbnb experience extremely comfortable and cool! Her home is extremely beautiful and welcoming, and she made everything simple and easy for us and was incredibly nice/polite/awesome our entire stay! This is EXACTLY where you want to stay in SE DC!
Rachel is great host. Enjoyed the place well. It is very convenient located and close to main attractions.
Based off the photos and description, we came to this airbnb with high expectations. The experience definitely exceeded those expectations. Rachel went above and beyond to make us comfortable. She always got back to us when we had questions, and her laid back attitude made us feel at home. Though we never met her, she provided everything we needed and more. The house is well-equipped with a great kitchen, outdoor space, grill, etc. It was super clean, perfectly decorated, and the beds and pillows were quite comfortable. And we couldn't get over how reasonable the price was for what we got. We stayed there with friends, and they were raving about it as well. It was nice to be able to walk to Eastern Market and around Capitol Hill. I would definitely recommend this airbnb to others and stay there again in the future.
Very good communication. Rachel is very nice and has been very helpful in finding us a parking place close to their home. The house was very clean and is tastefully furnished. Rachel also allowed us to use her washing machine and dryer. Shops, metro station and bus stop are nearby. We had everything we needed for a perfect stay in Washington.
Rachel and Jonathan were great guests, I would highly recommend them to any future host. They communicated well using texts and the Airbnb app and left the place spotless. I would welcome them back in our home any time. Its wonderful to rent to others who appreciate cocktails like we do. Follow my Instagram account (gwestheimer) for all our photos.
What a treat to have Rachel and Jonathon stay in our home again, and this time with their brand new daughter! They were delightful, considerate, respectful and tidy. Doesn't get any better! We would welcome them back anytime!
Rachel and Jonathan were excellent guests and we'd love to have them again. They were clean, communicative, and nice. Not much more you could ask for.
Rachel was an excellent guest. She is a a very communicative, friendly, nice, courteous and polite person. She is welcome to be a guest anytime. I highly recommend her.
Rachel Young was one of my favorite guests. A woman who sees the positive, when faced with rainy weather, she made the most of it leaving my little home in tip-top shape. I think most of my visitors are lured to the property because of the decks and open space. The house is small so I was surprised to received upbeat texts from Rachel. When I arrived to clean - the house was well cared for. I would love to have Rachel as a guest again. Super-guest!
Rachael was a super guest. She is a very nice lady and left my apartment neat. I highly recommend her.
Excellent Guest - left the place cleaner than it was left! Thanks for coming!
Rachel is a lovely person and the perfect guest in every way!
Highly recommend!
Rachel is a wonderful guest! She checked in and out on time she said she will. She is very friendly and easy going. The room was left clean and tidy.
We'd love to host her again next time she is in New York.
It was such a pleasure to host Rachel & Jonathan, and to have the honor of being a part of their wedding weekend. They were wonderful guest. They were especially warm and considerate. We look forward to hosting them in the future! :0)

How Would F1 & F2 NavyBeans X PintoBeans Look Like
How Do I Know When The Beans Are Cross pollinating?
ⶠI planted a Navy Bean a month ago and it is white, a month later I planted a Pinto Bean and the bean plants are really close to each other , I wanted to
know if the beans are cross Pollinating because the pinto bean roots are getting stuck together .
ⶠAlso How would I know when the seeds appear? Will they taste different or look different?
Beans (P. vulgaris) have closed blossoms and rarely cross pollinate. They have to exchange pollen. It is possible for bumble bees or something similar to open a blossom but it is a rare occurrence. At any rate you would not know until you grew out the saved seed.
The F1 seed looks like the seed of mother plant, because seed coat is maternal material. Only the germ inside the seed coat contains the mixture of two varieties.
The F2 seed will show a wide variation in seed coat colour and also in size. Exactly what you will get, will vary.
Planting close together does not guarantee you will get any crosses at all. Unless you are planning to grow every last seed from this year's plants you will miss a possible cross anyway, because the F1 seed looks like the seed of the mother variety.
You can make deliberate crosses, but it is not so easy with beans. It is easier with peas if you wish to experiment.

Give Now
An international business site called Invest Indiana aims to make the state more business friendly.
The controversial Right To Work law that passed two years ago brought thousands of jobs to the state, according to the Pence Administration.
Although more companies committed to creating jobs in the state, they promised fewer jobs than in previous years.
The trip is part of the state's attendance at the USA: Going Green / Opportunities for Italian Companies conference.

Benchmark for Android
Each test is run in a native context, coded in C++, and in a managed/Dalvik context, coded in Java. Both contexts always execute the same computational workload.
All test results are reported in milliseconds (ms). A lower score is better than a higher one.
On a single core device a single thread is used to execute all tests.
On a multi-core device, multi-threading is used. Three passes will be performed on a multi-core device. The total computational workload is the same for each pass. The first will use a single thread. The second will use two threads, and the third will use four threads. The total execution time for fast devices, which are usually multi-core, may take longer than slow devices because the entire suite is executed three times.
Your score is the sum of the execution times of all tests, both native and managed. On multi-core devices, the minimum sum of the three passes will be used.
After you run the tests, you may compare your results to other phones or tablets. This requires an Internet connection. You will be prompted to enter a short description of your device. Enter a short description and include your initials. That way, you and others will be able to better identify your results.
The app will save up to 10 sets of results, which you may retrieve and compare. Overclockers and ROM builders love this feature. You may also compare your results to others.
The app includes native binaries for armeabi, armeabi-v7a and x86.

Years ago, after racking her brains trying to find a fun, engaging, creative nighttime gig to subsidize her acting habit, Chris decided to ride her commercial voiceover experience into the fast-paced world of radio broadcasting. She started out with traffic reporting, moved on to news . . . and never looked back. Since then, Chris has worked in newsrooms throughout South Florida, producing stories for radio broadcasts and the web.
In her other life, she has been married to 12 husbands (including a not-so-wild boar and a garden slug), given birth to 15 children, died four times, twice taken vows as a nun and once been abducted by pirates in the Caribbean. And all this by doing English language dubbing for dozens of foreign films, soap operas and cartoons.
Both lives, she says, have been "a most excellent adventure."

i agree with NY, I must find this Joe the Plumber man... Mystery blogger, go find out!and what kind of plumber makes 250k ?
Who's this guy Joe? Joe Six-Pack?
Tax cuts or tax credits sir...
Poor "Joe the Plumber"
Wait... Joe Plumber Joe Sixpack = Joe Beer Funnel?
So Senator McCain has been reduced to telling people about Obama's anecdotes?
Joe the Plumber is spreading wealth around? Where's mine?
Who the hell is this Joe the Plumber character?
Apparently Obama doesn't read the Economist. McCain's about to pounce on his "95% tax-cut" line.
Wow, apparently 50% of small business income is paid by small business.
...and the audience, though sworn to silence, laughs in the first five minutes.
Why does McCain seem so much more "shaky" now? He just doesn't seem as lucid anymore. Maybe his age is catching up with him?
Joe Sixpack changed his name to Whitaburger...
Well that explains suburban sprawl I guess.
Nope Demosthenes,Owning a house is it. Nothing more. Moving on...
Does the American dream always have to boil down ot owning a house? There must be some other things people in America aspire to...
Another fun fact: Palin has done a shoutout to 3rd graders, and McCain has done a shoutout to two hospitalized friends so far in these debates.
McCain always seems to mention some ailing elder to start things off.
Starting with "It's all going to hell, welcome to the job".

To him, performing on the veena, an art that had been in the family for more than seven generations, was reward enough.
In March 1952, the Government of India announced that the President's Award (later renamed the Sangeet Natak Akademi Award) was being instituted to honour outstanding artistes in four disciplines, Carnatic vocal and instrumental and Hindustani vocal and instrumental. Reading about it in the papers, veteran vainika Karaikkudi Sambasiva Iyer (1888-1958) jokingly remarked to his companion, Sethuraman that he was least likely to be remembered for selection. This was no mere self-deprecation, for Sambasiva Iyer was known to reject all awards that came his way. To him, performing on the veena, an art that had been in the family for more than seven generations spanning two-and-a-half centuries was reward enough.On March 26, under the heading, "Award to Karaikkudi Sambasiva Aiyar," The Hindu reported: "The Government of India's award for the distinguished musician of the year in Carnatic music (instrumental), it is understood, is to be bestowed on Sri Karaikkudi Sambasiva Aiyar, the talented veena vidwan of South India." The report added that Iyer who received an invitation from the Government the previous day had left for Delhi by train. Many musicians and music lovers were present at the Central station to see him off.Behind the simple report lay an entire story by itself. For, Iyer on receiving information about the award had instructed Sethuraman to telegraph his refusal immediately. But the latter had demurred and was wondering what was to be done, when G.T.Sastri, Station Director of AIR, Tiruchi, whom Iyer was very close to, came by. Between them, Sastri and Sethuraman managed to convince Iyer to accept the award, but the two-day train journey to Delhi was a major deterrent for that would interfere with Iyer's puja schedules.Arrangements were made for Iyer to break his journey at Vijayawada and Nagpur, and perform his puja at the residences of admirers there. Iyer's entourage included his brother-in-law and mridangam accompanist Karaikkudi Muthu Iyer.
Award ceremony
On March 29, 1952, the awards ceremony took place at Rashtrapati Bhavan with Ariyakkudi Ramanuja Iyengar, Mushtaque Hussain Khan and Allauddin Khan being fellow recipients, all of whom received a citation and Rs.1,000 in cash.Among those who attended the function were Maulana Abul Kalam Azad, Dr. Humayun Kabir, Pt. Ravi Shankar and Yehudi Menuhin. The President of India, Babu Rajendra Prasad gave away the awards. Sambasiva Iyer struck up a great rapport with the President and admired his simplicity and in the way his many grandchildren ran about the imposing Rashtrapati Bhavan, presidential protocol notwithstanding. Reporting on the event, the Delhi correspondent of The Hindu wrote: "frail looking Karaikkudi Sambasiva Aiyar kept the audience spellbound with his performance on the veena of Sarasiruha in Nata raga. He also rendered Purvikalyani and Kannada ragas." The report said, "Ariyakkudi sang Ninu Kori, a composition of his master Ramnad Srinivasa Iyengar. He followed it up with the alapana of purvi kalyani and sang the Tyagaraja composition Gnanamosagaradha. He was applauded for his singing of the swara in the piece." During his stay in Delhi, Sambasiva Iyer gave AIR the permission to record his music. He had generally been averse to recording it and this was a breakthrough of sorts and was reported in The Hindu of April 2. Titled "Music of Vidwan Sambasiva Aiyar Recorded For The First Time," the article stated that when the recording was played back to him, Iyer "sat back to listen ... with eyes closed and face wreathed in smiles." Interviewed by PTI after the recording, Iyer was to state that "to play the compositions of the three great maestros of Karnatic music — Tyagaraja, Dikshitar and Syama Sastri — in the way they ought to be played required not only great practice but also Divine grace. Time was when he used to revel in playing these compositions for whole nights, but now age was telling on him." The interview which was quoted in the above article in The Hindu also had Iyer stating the fundamental philosophy of his life — "that it was easy to obtain recognition and money but it was difficult for one to satisfy one's own soul." The report concluded by stating that Iyer "insists of carrying the Veena himself and will not entrust it to anybody." That was not surprising, for to him it was a divine instrument, an heirloom of his family that had come down seven generations. Today, the Karaikkudi bhani is carried forward by his disciples Ranganayaki Rajagopalan, Rajeswari Padmanabhan and Karaikkudi Subramanian. The last two are descendants of Sambasiva Iyer's elder brother Subbarama Iyer with whom he used to pair up as the Karaikkudi Brothers till the latter's demise.(The author can be contacted at firstname.lastname@example.com)

Children's LiteratureIn the early 1950's in Kenya, Africa, the social structure is such that the white landowners are on the top, and the native boys on the bottom. As one of those native boys, twelve year old Kariuki has no more status than the village dogs. He hates school, where the headmaster engages in routine beatings for the simplest infractions. At home, the beatings come from his older brother, Hari, or his overworked father. His mother does not beat him, just supplies him with an endless list of chores. Kariuki only finds peace when he walks the many miles home from school through the beautiful forests and plains surrounding his impoverished village, or when his mother sends him to the river for water and as he toils he watches the ducks. It is at the river that Kariuki meets the white boy, Nigel, grandson of Bwana Ruin, owner of the farm where the villagers work. Typical of twelve- year-olds everywhere, the two boys care more for fun and adventure tinged with a little danger than they do for social politics. They soon become fast friends. To the adults, however, this friendship is an abomination, and they do everything they can to discourage it. A great look at a place and time in history that is not familiar to most American children, this book would be a good supplement to the middle school social studies curriculum. 2005 (Orig. 1990), House of Anansi Press/Groundwood Books, Ages 10 to 12.

|Property type
|Minimum Stay
Enjoy the beautiful Berkshires in this ideally located three bedroom farm house built in 1880 by the Darling Family. This house sits on the edge of the picturesque Williams College campus, tucked away in a breathtaking valley in the Berkshire Mountains. It is only a few minutes walk to the center of campus, the center of town, or the entrance of Hopkins Forest. The home is situated on a large lot with nearly an acre of fenced-in backyard. The back of the property is bordered by Hemlock Brook.
The first floor includes a large family room/dining room (12' by 25'), featuring wide pine flooring, and is quaintly furnished. The kitchen is wonderfully equipped, including a dishwasher, stove, refrigerator and microwave. A laundry room off the kitchen with a washer and dryer is provided for our guests' convenience. A sunroom is situated in the rear of the first floor with wonderful views of the backyard, extending down to the brook.
Also on the first floor, there is a bathroom with full shower and bath.
There are three bedrooms on the second floor. One bedroom has a king bed, another has a queen bed, and a third room has a pullout couch which may serve as a second game room by day and a bedroom by night.
The house has loads of amenities. These include two TVs, a VCR and DVD Player, and a video library. There are bicycles for exploring the abundant natural scenic wonders of Williamstown and beyond. There are several games and puzzles for both young and old. Available outdoor activities include volleyball and badminton. There is a picnic table and charcoal grill for your convenience.
It is said that in the Berkshires "nature sets the scene and culture steals the show." Nowhere is this truer than in Williamstown. This idyllic setting boasts wonderful mountain views, including Mount Greylock, the highest peak in Massachusetts, (3,491 feet).
Mountain lakes and streams abound, for fishing, swimming and exploring. The Appalachian Trail and other alternative hiking opportunities are nearby. Hopkins Memorial Forest, a 2500 acre preserve, with hiking trails, Buxton Garden, and The Moon Barn, is 0.8 miles from the house.
The picturesque beauty in and around Williamstown provides four seasons of scenic wonder. In addition to the fall leaf-peeking, this area serves as a stellar backdrop for golfing and skiing. The Taconic Golf Club (semi-private) and Waubeeka Golf Links are nearby. Several options exist for cross-country skiing and downhill skiing can be enjoyed at nearby Jiminy Peak. Several antique stores, shops, and superlative restaurants are in the area.
Williamstown is the home of Williams College, one of the preeminent educational institutions in the country. Thus, the area bustles with cultural activity. The College offers a host of cultural activities throughout the year.
The nearby Clark Art Institute boasts an outstanding collection of European and American art. Located a few miles away, in North Adams, is the Massachusetts Museum of Contemporary Art (MASSMoCA), home to avant-garde and provocative art, theatre, and dance. Just a few minutes walk from the house is the famous Williamstown Theatre, home to the prestigious Williamstown Theatre Festival. The Tony award winning WTF has been in existence for fifty years, presenting over 200 performances each summer, featuring the finest actors in America. Approximately 30 minutes away in Lenox, Massachusetts is Tanglewood. This spectacular outdoor theatre plays host to well known classic, popular, and jazz concerts each June through Labor Day and is the summer home of The Boston Symphony Orchestra.
We had a great stay in the house in Williamstown- it was a perfect place for us to stay- enough room for 2 young adult kids and 4 adults... wonderful sunroom/deck & yard. Thanks
Enjoyed our daughter's graduation from Williams College. Made especially easy and relaxing by being within walking distance of the commencement. The house was perfect, with enough sleeping for all and a kitchen fully outfitted. Thanks much
Margaret & Bill
My husband and I were looking to spend a weekend in the Berkshires and wanted to be centrally located to Williamstown. This house was perfect for us. We walked to town for coffee in the morning and drove the 2 miles to Hopkins Forest for a beautiful hike. We had our dog and the back yard is a dream! Huge fenced in area where we could play with our dog when we weren't out with her hiking. The house is well-loved, but if you can look past some of the dated rooms, it's a really great option to enjoy everything the area has to offer. The hosts were easy to communicate with and the place was very clean. Thank you for a great weekend getaway!
My family and I stayed in the Williamstown house for five days in February. It is a comfortable house with a huge backyard. It has a outdoor deck (which we did not use since it was winter) adjoining an outstanding "porch room" with full windows on three sides, bamboo shades, and plenty of heat. This room was our favorite - someone was always out there relaxing in the sunshine. In fact, my daughter and her husband decided to sleep in that room. There are two big bedrooms upstairs and one quite small room with a futon. The living/dining room are spacious with comfortable furniture and a dining room table that can easily seat 8-10. The house was clean and well-maintained, the appliances all work, and it expanded easily to sleep nine (one on the living room couch). We are planning to rent this house again when we return to Williamstown to visit our daughter.
We have only three "downsides" to mention. There is only one bathroom and it is on the first floor - it works perfectly but is a little inconvenient. The stairs are steep and narrow and so could be a hazard for older folks and children - we managed just fine but it could be a consideration for some. The porch room for sleeping could easily solve the problem for Grandma! And finally, the lighting in the kitchen is dim - I had to go to the window a couple of times to read my recipes. My eyes are old so this wouldn't be much of a problem for most people.
In sum, this is not a fancy house but it is well kept, centrally located, and has all the necessary amenities. It is loaded with the charm of old New England. For the price, it is an outstanding value. We will go back!
We had reserved this property for two nights beginning on October 21, 2012. Upon arriving, we noticed heaps of garbage overflowing the rubbish cans, the screen totally missing from the side storm door, and the front door very difficult to pry open. We entered the house to find all dirty sheets and pillow cases thrown in front of the washer/dryer, bed spread and pillows on the carpeted floor in an upstairs bedroom, very dirty shower curtain liner, and no telephone anywhere in the house. Using my cell phone, I called the owner who maintained that the cleaning company had always been reliable, and his absence was most unusual. Many hours later after waiting for the cleaning crew, who didn't arrive, we departed the rental after 5PM. This was a very costly lesson for us using VRBO-- we could never recommend this property.
My friends and I had a great time at the darling house over Thanksgiving.Although some of my friends found the house to be hounted (lol) I slept soundly every night.I loved the big backyard and the bikes available too.This house was the most equipped both in Kitchen and bathroom.I don't think you can consider the room with the futon a bedroom.It's too small and anybody who dares sleep on that futon will wake up very achy all over...Also,the stairs are very slippery.we had 2 adults,2 children and a dog fall down it.
Perfect weekend getaway. Comfortable beds, well-equiped kitchen and close to everything. Plus a great sun room and deck!
The house is less than a five minute walk from Williams College.
Other Activities: Theatre
Golf: Based in Williamstown, the Darling House is an ideal comfortable location, from which one can explore the Berkshires, visit with friends, explore Williams College, or immerse oneself in scenic beauty and cultural activity.
Amenities: The house includes a stack washer/ dryer, dish washer, microwave, 2 TVs, DVD/VCR, video library, game table, games, bikes, fully supplied kitchen, linens, volleyball net and picnic table.

I've created a simple watch face with and am using a custom font.
On the main screen 'not dimmed' the font works fine.
When the screen dims, the font works for about a minute or so e.g.
If its 09.04 and changes to 09.05 soon after dimming its working fine, but after a minite or so, any digits that change no longer render.
E.g. if it changes from 09.05 to 09.06 then the changed digit doesn't render. In this case the 6. So the display just reads 09.0
It does redraw the screen as the clock is centred so moves the 3 digits into the centre, ot just doesn't display the last digit.
I've tried with a 2 different TTF and OTF fonts. Same on both.
If I don't set a font and use the standard it works fine all the time.
In using <textclock> to render the clock and setting the font in the oncreate using
Typeface type = Typeface.createFromAsset(getAssets(),"fonts/filename.ttf");
Is anyone using a custom font on a watch face and getting this
Or anyone have any ideas

- Lately i've been exploring the esthetic world of Memphis Group, the legendary italian design collective. Memphis Group was founded in Milan, 1980 by Ettore Sottsass and disbanded in 1988 with his way out. Sottsass had completed its purpose, to contrast with a very aggressive style the minimalist design of that time.
Memphis is a style known for its bold system of signs, inspired from such movements as Art Deco, Pop Art,
the 1950s Kitsch and futuristic themes, compound with powerful shapes and strong colors.
Memphis was born as a reaction to the prevailing modernism of the 70's.
The Memphis Group had revolutionized our way of thinking and our tastes, they had been the inspiration
to many designers and stylists in the following decades.
The used poor materials such as glass and plastic laminates, geometric textures and decorations,
all aimed to generate optimism and to celebrate the banality of the mass production culture.
My goal and my personal challenge is to pick up threads of this wonderful way of thinking and language,
to interpret these elements and create a new expression with the same energy that had driven the Memphis Group minds: Humor and Optimism.
Therefore i've created a series of four posters, inspired by Memphis and dedicated to several figures who
had left an imprint on our lives through their ideas and their brave-altruistic approach.
Ettore Sottsass, Charles Eames, Italo Calvino or Laika (the first animal on space).

I am very interested in learning to grow passiflora. Are there any that will grow in my harsh midwest climate? I would also be willing to try growing them as annuals if I could find some fast growing types. How about growing them indoors? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
I don't live in a cold place, don't grow much inside and have never grown most of the following plants. That said, here are some thoughts--I'm sure others can follow up.
I've seen Passiflora lutea described as hardy to zone 5. I would expect that means in the ground, with some sort of protection.
P. incarnata is both hardy and decidous. I imagine you could let frost kill the top and then bring it inside to overwinter.
There are many you can grow as plants inside in the winter, outside in the summer--this may be your best bet. I hope others can describe their own experiences.
You may be able to grow P. foetida as an annual. I know Karen1 has posted on its quick growth and fruiting within a year. I assume you would have to start it really early inside.
I imagine there are many that you could grow outside and then then continue every year by taking cuttings in the fall and starting over in the spring. This might save space over bringing in whole plants. Again, others may have specific ideas.
Yes, you can grow them inside all year with enough light. 'Lavender Lady' is just one possiblity. No doubt a number of people who read these posts could offer cuttings. My plants are too small for this, but I can likely get cuttings from a friend. If nobody offers you anything, send me an email.
A friend in Chicago sent me a beautiful picture of a 'Blue Eyed Susan' flower she grew at her office. I know people have had success with many other species/hybrids. My friend has also bloomed P. citrina in the same window at work.
Hi Growthspurt. I'm not sure what zone you are in but I have a few that are hardy and growing outside as well as several tropical varieties that are container grown. P. incarnata, incense and caerulea are all inground year round and do fine here in zone 7a. I don't even bother mulching them. The incense really spreads like crazy. Of the varieties that I've grown from seed foetida is the only one that has reached blooming size in less then a year. I don't think that passies would do well as annuals because the majority take a while to reach blooming size. Most are fairly easy to winter over inside under lights and I have some that are marginally hardy that I allow to go dormant in a cool room.

Fatty Bum Bum
How did I end up in this state?
I'm always fighting with my weight,
I'd like to put it down to fate,
but that ain't honest!
I know for sure what I do wrong,
I've known the truth all along,
but I always sing a different song,
and that ain't honest!
I've tried to blame my family,
for passing the fat gene down to me,
and making me a big fat'B',
but that ain't honest.
So now I'm gonna face the fact,
I have to make me a slimming pact,
and with exercise I must react.
Now, that is honest!
