The Key To Creative Image Control
Whenever you open, select, or edit the digital images you've shot, or creatively correct or enhance them using post-production software such as Photoshop or Lightroom, you are relying on a display device—a monitor connected to or built into your computer, tablet, or smartphone—to show you an accurate representation of the colors, color saturation, monochrome tonality, contrast and other characteristics of the images captured by your camera. If what you see on the monitor does not match what the camera captured, the prints made from these files will never look quite as you had envisioned them—the color balance may be off, certain colors may be washed out or overly intense, or the pictures may have an overall color cast. That's why photographers who are serious about creative image control, maintaining an efficient workflow and minimizing frustration always make sure their monitors are correctly calibrated. These days, that's easy to do, and the hardware and software required is intuitive and very affordable.
There are ways of getting a poorly calibrated monitor closer to the mark using apps included in various post-production software programs or by downloading them from the Internet, but all these methods are time-consuming and none of them provides the degree of accuracy or consistency of true calibration. By far, the best way to calibrate your monitor, and keep it accurate by recalibrating it at regular intervals, is to acquire a good monitor-calibration tool. This usually comprises a package that includes calibration software to install on your computer, a calibration device (essentially a precision colorimeter) that plugs into the USB port and reads directly from the monitor screen, and simple step-by-step instructions. All the devices mentioned in this article can be used to calibrate multiple display types, are Mac/PC compatible, and detect changes in the ambient light viewing conditions for the most consistent results.
Monitor Calibration by the Numbers
The basic procedure for using one of the current generation of monitor-calibration tools couldn't be simpler, although the more advanced models also offer a range of step-up features that are explained in their manuals. Here's the basic drill.
1. Install the included software on your computer (most will run on older PCs and Macs, but check the system requirements if your computer is more than 5 years old.)
2. Turn on your monitor and let it warm up for 30 minutes, to stabilize it.
3. Connect the screen-reading device (calibration colorimeter) to your computer by plugging it into the USB port and hang, attach or point it at the monitor screen as indicated in the manual.
4. Start the program and follow the prompts. You may be asked to adjust your monitor's screen resolution or other parameters to certain standard values when possible. Typical recommended starting points: Luminance, 120; Gamma, 2.2 for PCs, 1.8 for Macs; color temperature, 6500K; Color display, 24-bit, etc.
5. Active calibration. As the program runs, the monitor screen will display a sequence of patterns that includes colors, color scales, brightness and grayscale targets, which are used to calculate an ICC profile and save it to your computer. A light in the calibration device will typically flash as each calibration is being calculated, and will stop flashing when calibration is completed. A graphic screen display will track the scan's progress.
6. Name the completed file, indicating it's for the monitor you've just calibrated and, depending on your computer, your software and how you like to work, either store it in a convenient place so you can locate and activate it when viewing images, or set it as a default so it will automatically activate every time you use the monitor for image evaluation.
7. Recalibrate regularly. Color accuracy fanatics do it daily or weekly, but monthly calibrations are recommended, especially if you have an older monitor. Most systems will display a warning when it's time to recalibrate, and recalibration may be faster if you activate the saved profile and use it as the starting point.
Color calibration hardware/software packages are available in a wide variety of configurations and sizes, and at prices ranging from around $100 to well over $1,000 for commercial systems. Here are four popular examples that will meet the needs of most creative enthusiasts and professional photographers. We've included two broad spectrum entry-level models, and two more advanced models that provide step-up features for greater flexibility and control. Check the full product listings for additional features and complete system requirements.
Broad-Spectrum Display Calibration Systems
Datacolor Spyder4Pro: Featuring a single, patented full spectrum 7-color sensor covering both wide-gamut and normal-gamut displays, it works with monitors, laptops, iPads and iPhones, provides automated color and brightness calibration and adapts to ambient-light conditions to give accurate readings. The ReCal Assistant feature makes recalibration easier and faster. System requirements: Monitor with a minimum of 1024 x 768 resolution, 24-bit video card, powered USB port.
X-Rite ColorMunki Display: Ergonomic and multifunctional, it calibrates LED and wide gamut LCD screens and can be used to profile projectors as well as monitors. It's also spectrally calibrated, making it field-upgradeable to support future technologies, features easy and advanced calibration modes, flare correction, a rotating diffuser arm and a standard ¼"-20 tripod socket. Before-and-after images load instantly and there's an automatic reminder when it's time to recalibrate. System requirements: Monitor with 1024 x 768 or higher display, 16-bit minimum video card, powered USB port, DVD-ROM drive and Internet connection for software updates.
Advanced Display Calibration Systems
Datacolor Spyder4Elite: Configured like the Spyder4Pro, it provides all the same features but adds an impressive range of step-up capabilities including color analysis and display comparisons, by plotting uniformity, tone response, front projector calibration capability, StudioMatch for fine-tuning of studio displays and an unlimited choice of gamma, white point, white and black luminance, and iterative gray-balance settings. It also includes presets for video standards and calibrates to pro workflow targets. System requirements: Monitor with at least 1024 x 768 resolution (1024 x 600 netbook option) or front-projector RTF, 24-bit video card, powered USB port.
X-Rite i1Display Pro: With its cutting-edge i1Display Profiler software, it can calibrate and profile all current display and projector technologies including LED and wide-gamut LCDs and, like the ColorMunki, it's spectrally calibrated and field-upgradeable to support future displays. Advanced features include ambient-light measurement, Automatic Display Control (ADC), user-defined pass/fail tolerance testing, a 5-times-faster speed than previous units, virtually infinite control of white point, luminance, contrast ratio, gamma and more, and the ability to create unique patch sets in 3 sizes for precision profiling. PANTONE Color Manager software is part of the package. System requirements: 1GB of RAM, 2GB of disk space, minimum monitor resolution of 1024 x 600, and a powered USB port. Dual display requires 2 video cards or a dual-head video card.
All these color management tools are the latest offerings from companies with long-term experience in monitor calibration, and any one of them will go a long way in assuring that what you see is indeed what you'll get, in the final print.

Gallery: Stardust: Crystallized Sugar LED Lamp is All Sweetness and Lig...
Won Joon Lee was born in Seoul, Korea and is currently studying for his BFA in designed objects at the SAIC in Chicago. Stardust is the result of an intense two-semester design project that focused on the history, physicality and currency of the materials iron and sugar. Joon Lee wanted to create an object that explored the use of sugar in design — he states: "As coffee sweetens with sugar, Stardust investigates and peels back the layers of sugar to reveal new meanings to designers, producers and markets."
The modular light was inspired by the shape of the sugar molecule, and the design's PCB (printed circuit board) is a metaphor or clue that speaks of the intricate 'mechanical' or 'biological' story. To create the sugar light source, Joon Lee experimented with sugar by burning, melting, freezing, breaking and growing it. He settled upon submerging LEDs in a bath of concentrated sugar water, which caused light-diffracting sugar crystals to grow around the diodes.
Joon Lee's Stardust lamp presents a new way of using sugar as an environmentally friendly, sustainable resource at a time when trade is the cause of many problems connected to the design practice. The designer stresses that Stardust is at an early stage in its lifecycle, and if he finds support, he will continue experimenting with colored and fluorescent substances. There are practically as many ways to develop the design as there are ways to take your coffee.

Thining Sugar Baby
nyc_sod(z7 Marietta)May 7, 2009
I planted 3 seed in a mound and they have all sprouted. Do I need to thin to a single plant?
Thanks in advance.
Melissa Houser
It depends. How big is the mound? How much room did you allot for the plant to spread? How big are the plants right now?
Personally, I'd wait until the plants got a bit bigger so that you can see if any survive and, if more than one survives, which is the most healthy. Of course, if you gave them enough room, why not let all 3 grow? Mel says watermelon can be trellised, so you could trellis them and see what kind of production you get.
Then again, how many watermelon can you eat in one or two weeks?

The Android smartphone operating system was found on three out of every four smartphones shipped during the third quarter of 2012 (3Q12). According to the International Data Corporation (IDC) Worldwide Quarterly Mobile Phone Tracker, total Android smartphone shipments worldwide reached 136.0 million units, accounting for 75.0% of the 181.1 million smartphones shipped in 3Q12. The 91.5% year-over-year growth was nearly double the overall market growth rate of 46.4%.
"Android has been one of the primary growth engines of the smartphone market since it was launched in 2008," said Ramon Llamas, research manager, Mobile Phones at IDC. "In every year since then, Android has effectively outpaced the market and taken market share from the competition. In addition, the combination of smartphone vendors, mobile operators, and end-users who have embraced Android has driven shipment volumes higher. Even today, more vendors are introducing their first Android-powered smartphones to market."
"The share decline of smartphone operating systems not named iOS since Android's introduction isn't a coincidence," said Kevin Restivo, senior research analyst with IDC's Worldwide Quarterly Mobile Phone Tracker. "The smartphone operating system isn't an isolated product, it's a crucial part of a larger technology ecosystem. Google has a thriving, multi-faceted product portfolio. Many of its competitors, with weaker tie-ins to the mobile OS, do not. This factor and others have led to loss of share for competitors with few exceptions."
Mobile Operating System Highlights
Android, having topped the 100 million unit mark last quarter, reached a new record level in a single quarter. By comparison, Android's total volumes for the quarter were greater than the total number of smartphones shipped in 2007, the year that Android was officially announced. Samsung once again led all vendors in this space, but saw its market share decline as numerous smaller vendors increased their production.
iOS was a distant second place to Android, but was the only other mobile operating system to amass double-digit market share for the quarter. The late quarter launch of the iPhone 5 and lower prices on older models prevented total shipment volumes from slipping to 3Q11 levels. But without a splashy new OS-driven feature like Siri in 2011 and FaceTime in 2010, the iPhone 5 relied on its larger, but not wider, screen and LTE connectivity to drive growth.
BlackBerry's market share continued to sink, falling to just over 4% by the end of the quarter. With the launch of BlackBerry 10 yet to come in 2013, BlackBerry will continue to rely on its aging BlackBerry 7 platform, and equally aging device line-up. Still, demand for BlackBerry and its wildly popular BBM service is strong within multiple key markets worldwide, and the number of subscribers continues to increase.
Symbian posted the largest year-on-year decline of the leading operating systems. Nokia remains the largest vendor still supporting Symbian, along with Japanese vendors Fujitsu, Sharp, and Sony. Each of these vendors is in the midst of transitioning to other operating systems and IDC believes that they will cease shipping Symbian-powered smartphones in 2013. At the same time, the installed base of Symbian users will continue well after the last Symbian smartphone ships.
Windows Phone marked its second anniversary with a total of just 3.6 million units shipped worldwide, fewer than the total number of Symbian units shipped. Even with the backing of multiple smartphone market leaders, Windows Phone has yet to make a significant dent into Android's and iOS's collective market share. That could change in 4Q12, when multiple Windows Phone 8 smartphones will reach the market.
Linux volume declined for the third straight quarter as did its year-over-year growth. Samsung accounted for the majority of shipments once again, but like most other vendors competing with Linux-powered smartphones, most of its attention went towards Android instead. Still, that has not deterred other vendors from experimenting, or at least considering the open-source operating system, as multiple reports of Firefox, Sailfish, and Tizen plan to release new Linux-based experiences in the future.

"The Waiting Is the Hardest Part"
As we approach the fourth anniversary of the date the DC anti-SLAPP statute became effective, parties in several high-profile cases know exactly what Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers meant when they sang that "the waiting is the hardest part." As I write, they wait for decisions in cases that have the potential to significantly – and materially – alter the DC legal landscape.
Forras Case Finally Reaches DC Circuit
After a brief – and unsuccessful – return to the federal district court, the appellants in the Forras v. Rauf case (Vincent Forras and Larry Klayman) have filed their opening brief in the DC Circuit.
Do Anti-SLAPP Statutes Violate the Plaintiff's "Access to Courts"
At a wonderful panel earlier this month at the ABA Communications Forum in Arizona, leading media attorneys discussed anti-SLAPP lawsuits and developments from around the country. While courts elsewhere are grappling with many of the same issues as in DC (is there a right to immediate appellate review from the denial of an anti-SLAPP motion; in what circumstances should discovery be allowed; what is the applicable standard in deciding whether to grant an anti-SLAPP motion), I learned of a new argument that has been advanced in the "other" Washington.
Fits & Starts in Forras v. Rauf case
Remember Forras v. Rauf? In May, DC District Court Judge Rothstein granted the defendants' anti-SLAPP motion, and off the parties went to the DC Circuit. Or so we thought. After filing a notice of appeal, the plaintiffs moved the district court to reconsider its decision, arguing that the defendants waited too long before filing their anti-SLAPP motion. (In my post on the district court's decision, here, I explained why, under the unique circumstances presented by the case, I believed the district court's decision to excuse this delay was correct).
Reflections on the Mann v. CEI Oral Argument
Two days before Thanksgiving, your intrepid blogger joined approximately 60-70 others in the DC Court of Appeals' ceremonial courtroom to watch the Mann v. CEI oral argument. The panel was comprised of Judges Ruiz, Beckwith and Easterly (who authored the Court's decision in Burke v. Doe). Here are my impressions.
Temperatures Rise in Mann Libel Suit
It has been a few months since I wrote about Michael Mann's libel suit against National Review, the Competitive Enterprise Institute and two contributors. During that time, the parties have been very busy in both the Superior Court and DC Court of Appeals. Here is what you might have missed.
Reflections on the Abbas v. Foreign Policy Group Argument
I attended the Abbas v. Foreign Policy Group argument at the DC Circuit last week. (You can listen to the argument here). Here are my impressions. I agree with Politico that it seems unlikely that the Circuit will reverse the district court's dismissal of the complaint as none of the three members of the panel quarreled with the district court's reasoning. Rather, the central question in the appeal now appears to be whether the DC Circuit needs to conclusively decide whether the DC anti-SLAPP statute applies in federal court (the "Erie" issue) or whether it could sidestep that issue and … [ CONTINUE READING
Abbas v. Foreign Policy Group DC Circuit Panel
The DC Circuit has announced that the Abbas v. Foreign Policy Group appeal will be heard on October 20, 2014 before Circuit Judges Kavanaugh, Srinivasan, and Senior Circuit Judge Edwards. For the background facts giving rise to the case, the proceedings in the district court and the issues on appeal, see my posts here, here, here, here, and here. For now, however, I thought I would take a quick look at prior defamation/libel/First Amendment decisions involving these judges.
David v. Goliath in DC Superior Court
A "David versus Goliath" battle is playing out in the DC Superior Court, with the DC anti-SLAPP statute in the role of the slingshot.
Evidence That Defending a Libel Suit = Big Dollars
When it enacted the DC anti-SLAPP Act, the DC Council recognized that SLAPPs "have been increasingly utilized over the past two decades as a means to muzzle speech or efforts to petition the government on issues of public interest." The Council explained that "the goal of the litigation is not to win the lawsuit but punish the opponent and intimidate them into silence" because "defendants of a SLAPP must dedicate a substantial amount of money, time and legal resources." As we pass the three-year anniversary of the effective date of the DC anti-SLAPP Act, we now have a more precise … [ CONTINUE READING

Woah, thanx teiohx, you are the man...
HS isn't killed and the chapter of my dreams came true. Wooot!
@Shani: I forgot to look at the date. Because it was a double issue, the general consensus is that it will take 3 weeks this time. It may only be 2 though. If Oku takes a break, I don't think it will happen until after the scoring. I am going to pay bills later today, so I'll be sure to check it out.
I just checked.
Next issue is on August 28th.
It's bittersweet. Guess I'll get some studying and cleaning done. Maybe start working out again. Maybe watch a lot of Gantz Abridged on youtube. Try to find more volumes of Gantz at used bookstores. Three weeks is too long! :P
Thanks a lot teiohx, I'm glad this is finally over and that pervy survived alonside with Old Man and Nishi (fuck Inaba he shoulda really died this time) and KATOU IS DA FUCKING MAN!!!!!

Uzbekistan (MNN) — There is relative calm in Uzbekistan today. But, it was only after a bloody weekend of rioting, which was put down by military force. According to reports hundreds died when the military opened fire on the crowd of protesters.
Yesterday, U-S Secretary of State Condoleeza Rice called for political reform. The goal is to make the government more open, allowing opposition.
Bible Mission International is working in Uzbekistan. BMI's Malcolm Smith says, "The churches, at this point, are not being affected that we know of. We have tried to make contact with our folks there. And, they are not talking by telephone. The government appears to have clamped down fairly hard on security. The borders are being closed for walk through traffic."
Evangelism is difficult in this former Soviet block nation. Smith says handing out Christian literature like tracts or other material is restricted. "It's okay to have those in Russian, if you're giving them to Russians. But, you can not give them to a Russian speaking Uzbek because they are by definition traditional Muslims."
The laws are quite hard on those who violate these laws, says Smith. "As we're proselytizing, we're susceptible to being fined. (For) local believers there, that has great ramifications on their economic stability as possibly they could be terminated from their job, they could lose their cars their houses, whatever, and even being imprisoned."
Prayer is vital for Bible Mission's work there. "Our prayer is that the government would give us the access and the opportunities that we need to share hope."
Funding is needed for their summer camp program, which is still scheduled. $25 can send a young person to camp for a week, allowing them to hear the Gospel. Click on the link above to get more information.

Scorecard: Controversy clouds Forrest win
Dan Rafael recaps last week's notable boxing results from around the world.
A roundup of last week's notable boxing results from around the world:
Vernon Forrest W10 Ike Quartey
Scores: 96-93, 95-94 (twice)
Records: Forrest, 38-2; Quartey, 37-3-1
Rafael's remark: Forrest is a good fighter -- a very good fighter -- but he got a gift. Poor Quartey was robbed. How the three judges saw it for Forrest while every single media member we could find at ringside, as well as the HBO broadcast team and the vast majority of the 3,012 in attendance at the Theater at Madison Square Garden, had it for Quartey we will never know.
We need an explanation when things like this happen. The crowd sure had its own explanation after the scores were read, launching into a sustained chant of "Bull----! Bull----! Bull----!"
Forrest and Quartey, both former welterweight champions, are in the winter of their careers at ages 35 and 36, respectively, and the fight was supposed to position the winner for a significant fight (Winky Wright, anyone?) while the loser probably was headed for the scrap heap.
However, it was a pretty darn good fight, and a close fight. And with Forrest getting the official decision but most believing that Quartey won, both men probably will wind up with a meaningful encore. But that doesn't make it right to steal the decision from the man who earned it.
Quartey, in only his third bout since a five-year retirement, was clearly the heavier hitter and the aggressor all night. Forrest, in his third bout since a two-year layoff because of injuries to his left elbow and shoulder, boxed well and hurt Quartey with a third-round uppercut, but we didn't think it was enough for him to win the fight. Making the decision even harder to swallow is the fact that referee Arthur Mercante Jr. deducted a point from Forrest in the ninth round for a low blow.
Quartey, of Ghana, thinks he just can't win a decision in the United States. He lost a split decision to Oscar De La Hoya in a fight many thought he won. He got a draw against Jose Luis Lopez in a fight nearly everyone thought he won and now he's tagged with a loss in a fight everyone but Forrest thinks he won.
Kassim Ouma W10 Sechew Powell
Scores: 100-90, 97-93, 96-94
Records: Ouma, 25-2-1; Powell, 20-1
|Rafael's remark: This is the Ouma we expect to see -- a relentless fighter who never stops throwing punches. Against Powell, a top amateur and rising contender making his HBO debut in front of a hometown crowd, Ouma kept the CompuBox counters busy. He landed 380 of 1,043 punches (36 percent), and when you throw more than 100 punches per round, it's hard not to win. It's not like Powell wasn't busy, though. He landed 319 of 835 punches (38 percent). Stats like that usually equal a victory, but for as busy as Powell was, he couldn't deal with Ouma's nonstop pressure. That pressure was missing when Ouma lost his junior middleweight belt to Roman Karmazin last summer. Now, Ouma has won four bouts in a row since that upset loss and he deserves another title shot. The sooner the better. If not a title shot, we'd love to see him face Ike Quartey in a battle of Africans. For Powell, this was a big learning experience. Although Powell lost, he didn't deserve the insult of judge Dick Flaherty's incompetent 100-90 scorecard. Did he sleep through the fight?
Andre Berto KO1 Roberto Valenzuela
Records: Berto, 14-0, 12 KOs; Valenzuela, 37-25-2
Rafael's remark: Quite simply, Berto is one of the best prospects in the sport. He's got a terrific amateur background (including an appearance in the 2004 Olympics for Haiti), fights in an exciting, fan-friendly style and he's been a wrecking machine as a professional, albeit against inferior competition.
And did we mention he can punch? He walked right through the experienced Valenzuela, destroying him in just 2:19. Had Berto started a little quicker, he could have knocked him out even quicker as Valenzuela had absolutely no answer for Berto's two-fisted attack. We're trying not to get too excited, but with every impressive performance he has, Berto is making it more and more difficult.
Jaidon Codrington W6 Carl Daniels
Scores: 60-54 (three times)
Records: Codrington, 12-1; Daniels, 49-10-1
|Rafael's remark: In his third fight back since being smashed to bits in 17 seconds by Allan Green in the 2005 knockout of the year, Codrington easily dismantled former junior middleweight titlist Daniels, who is now nothing more than a stepping-stone. Codrington still makes a lot of mistakes and has a lot to learn at 22, but he won every second of every round against the washed-up Daniels, who has lost six in a row to rising prospects. At this point, beating Daniels doesn't mean much, but it was good for Codrington to get in the rounds and restore his confidence after such a wicked knockout loss last fall.
Juan Manuel Marquez TKO7 Terdsak Jandaeng
Wins a vacant interim featherweight title.
Records: Marquez, 45-3-1; 34 KOs; Jandaeng, 24-2
Rafael's remark: Since his May 2004 draw with Manny Pacquiao, Marquez's career has been a mess because of poor business decisions, promotional problems and clueless manager Nacho Beristain. This fight, Marquez's first since a close decision loss in March to Chris John in Indonesia, is supposed to be the start of his climb back to the spotlight.
It was a good start. In a Showtime main event on the same card as kid brother Rafael Marquez, Juan Manuel brutally dominated his Thai opponent, whose only previous defeat was a decision to the excellent Joan Guzman.
Juan Manuel Marquez dropped Jandaeng in the second and the sixth rounds and was hammering him in the seventh when referee Jay Nady wisely stopped the fight before Jandaeng was seriously hurt. About the only thing Jandaeng could do was raise some swelling around Marquez's right eye.
The victory netted Marquez an interim belt, meaning he will have to face full titlist Scott Harrison before the end of the year. Harrison, however, is dealing with depression and alcohol dependency, and might not be fit to fight. If that's the case, he'll be stripped and Marquez elevated to a full title holder.
Rafael Marquez TKO9 Silence Mabuza
Rematch, retains bantamweight title.
Records: Marquez, 36-3, 32 KOs; Mabuza, 19-2
Rafael's remark: Fighting on the same Showtime card as his older brother Juan Manuel, Rafael closed out his bantamweight championship campaign in style by opening four cuts and battering Mabuza until Mabuza's corner stopped the fight after the ninth round.
It was the final title defense for Rafael Marquez, who plans to vacate his belt and move up to junior featherweight. He had an impressive title run, making seven defenses, including five by knockout, since knocking out long-reigning champion Tim Austin to win the championship in February 2003.
Since then, Marquez has been by far and away the dominant bantamweight in the world. Unfortunately, poor management significantly hindered his ability to get big fights. In his previous bout, Marquez blitzed Mabuza via fourth-round TKO last November. For some reason, the dastardly IBF allowed Mabuza to immediately fight a title eliminator following the defeat. Mabuza won it, allowing this wholly unnecessary mandatory rematch to be forced down our throats. At least it turned out to be an exciting fight, and Marquez had a tougher time that he did the first time around, particularly in the middle rounds. Ultimately, however, he put a beating on the South African challenger, particularly in the ninth round.
Edwin Valero TKO10 Vicente Mosquera
Wins a junior lightweight title
Records: Valero, 20-0, 20 KOs; Mosquera, 24-2-1
Rafael's remark: The immensely hyped prodigy lived up to the billing as Valero won a world title 2½ years after he failed an MRI exam in New York and was banned from fighting in the United States.
Undeterred, Valero took his game to Asia and Latin America and earned a mandatory shot at Mosquera. Valero entered the fight having stopped his first 18 opponents in the first round and his 19th opponent in the second round. Mosquera took him into the 10th, but Valero still got the knockout.
Valero, of Venezuela, decked Mosquera twice in the first round before Mosquera rallied to score a third-round knockdown in the action-packed fight. By the 10th, however, Valero, who was leading on all three scorecards, was landing almost at will when the referee called off the fight.
We might never see Valero fight in the U.S. because of his medical suspension, so do what we do -- find his fights on the Internet or get someone to hook you up with some DVDs. Valero's power is special.
Omar Narvaez W12 Rexon Flores
Retains a flyweight title.
Scores: 120-108, 119-109 (twice)
Records: Narvaez, 22-0-2; Flores, 16-3-4
|Rafael's remark: Fighting at home, Narvaez made his eighth successful title defense by easily outpointing his Filipino mandatory. Flores lost points in the fourth and seven rounds for dirty tactics, including head butts and low blows. The victory sets Narvaez up for a possible Oct. 7 Showtime-televised unification fight with rugged puncher Vic Darchinyan. That's a heck of a fight, and we hope Darchinyan promoter Gary Shaw can close the deal. If he does, the fight will serve as the co-feature on a card headlined by the rubber match between lightweight champ Diego Corrales and Joel Casamayor.
Anthony Hanshaw W10 Esteban Camou
Scores: 100-90 (three times)
Records: Hanshaw, 20-0; Camou, 18-2
Rafael's remark: Hanshaw, the favorite to win Showtime's eight-man super middleweight "ShoBox" tournament, injured his left hand in the fourth round but still cruised to a shutout decision.
Hanshaw advanced to the Oct. 6 semifinals to face LaFarrell Bunting, who won his quarterfinal bout on the undercard. The boring, but dominant, victory was Hanshaw's second since June, when he ended a two-year layoff. Without a pair of long layoffs, Hanshaw probably would be a title contender already. He was an outstanding amateur, losing to Jermain Taylor in the 2000 U.S. Olympic trials and holding amateur victories over Sechew Powell, Kelly Pavlik and Sergio Mora.
LaFarrell Bunting TKO5 Jose Luis Herrera
Records: Bunting, 16-1-1, 16 KOs; Herrera, 14-2
Rafael's remark: Bunting, a 25-year-old southpaw based in Las Vegas, made the most of an unexpected opportunity to participate in Showtime's eight-man super middleweight "ShoBox" tournament when Sakio Bika withdrew because of an elbow injury.
Bunting cancelled a fishing trip with his grandfather and took the fight on just four days' notice. Then he scored his 11th consecutive knockout victory by stopping Herrera, who took a barrage of more than 20 unanswered punches against the ropes, forcing referee Kenny Bayless to stop the bout midway through the round.
Bunting moves on to the Oct. 6 semifinals to face Anthony Hanshaw, who was victorious in the main event. Bunting and Hanshaw are former sparring partners. Jean Paul Mendy and Henry Buchanan, who advanced last week, face each other in the other semifinal.
Ulises "Archie" Solis D12 Omar Salado
Retains a junior flyweight title.
Scores: 114-114 (twice), 115-113 Solis
Records: Solis, 22-1-2; Salado, 14-0-2
|Rafael's remark: In his second title defense, Solis went to Salado's hometown and pulled out an unpopular majority draw. Both fighters were cut from accidental head butts late in the fight. Solis could be headed toward a rematch with Will Grigsby, from whom he took the title in January.
Anthony Peterson KO2 Jose Soto
Records: Peterson, 19-0, 15 KOs; Soto, 18-4-2
|Rafael's remark: Six weeks after putting us all to sleep with his 12-round decision win against Adan Hernandez, Peterson cranked things up in this "Friday Night Fights" main event. Unlike the Hernandez bout, Peterson attacked Soto from the opening bell. The result was an impressive knockout for the rising star. Peterson dropped Soto in the first round courtesy of a body blow and stopped him a round later with a left to the temple. We like watching this version of Peterson far more than the cautious, technical one we saw in mid-June. The kid is on his way to a title shot.
Shamone Alvarez KO7 Marteze Logan
Records: Alvarez, 15-0, 10 KOs; Logan, 22-25-2
|Rafael's remark: Alvarez passed a test many prospects must pass by beating journeyman Logan. But what made this special was the ferocity with which Alvarez did it. Despite all the losses Logan has suffered, he is known for his ability to survive and go the distance, but Alvarez smoked him, scoring a sensational knockout with a big left hand. It is only the second time in 25 losses that Logan was stopped. Onward and upward for Alvarez.
Ann Wolfe W6 Lisa Ested
Scores: 60-54 (twice), 59-54
Records: Wolfe, 24-1; Ested, 10-5
|Rafael's remark: If Laila Ali isn't the best female fighter in the world, Wolfe probably is. She took apart Ested in an exciting fight. Wolfe has been trying to get a fight with Ali for years, but Ali has been ducking her. Based on what we've seen from Wolfe in recent years, Ali has good reason to be concerned.
Freddie Norwood W8 Anthony Martinez
Scores: 80-71 (three times)
Records: Norwood, 40-1-1; Martinez, 20-22-3
|Rafael's remark: After a prison stint, former featherweight champ Norwood returned in June to win a six-round decision in his first fight since his lone loss to Derrick Gainer in 2000. In the second bout of his comeback, the crafty southpaw easily outpointed Martinez as he continues his quest to shake the ring rust of such a long layoff.
Jose Cotto TKO10 Ivan Hernandez
Records: Cotto, 28-1, 20 KOs; Hernandez, 23-3
|Rafael's remark: Cotto, the older brother of junior welterweight titlist Miguel Cotto, rebounded from his first defeat when he lost a hard-fought challenge against lightweight titlist Juan Diaz on the April 8 Floyd Mayweather-Zab Judah undercard. Headlining Telefutura's "Solo Boxeo," Cotto knocked Hernandez down in the sixth and two more times in the 10th to get the stoppage victory and get himself back on the path to another title opportunity.
Koki Kameda W12 Juan Landaeta
Wins a vacant junior flyweight title.
Scores: 115-113, 114-113 Kameda, 115-112 Landaeta
Records: Kameda, 12-0; Landaeta, 20-4-1
Rafael's remark: Kameda, an enormously popular 19-year-old from Japan, was awarded the split decision in a fight that stinks of a hometown decision. Numerous reports out of Japan suggest that this was a horrendous decision, and even the Japanese media has criticized a decision that gave one of its most popular athletes a world title.
Landaeta, of Venezuela, knocked Kameda down in the first round and opened a cut over his right eye in the sixth round in the battle of southpaws. They were vying for the 108-pound belt that became available when titlist Roberto Vasquez relinquished it in order to move up in weight.

In my program I'm loading in a 3D mesh to view and interact with. The user can rotate and scale the view. I will be using a rotation matrix for the rotation and calling
multmatrix to rotate the view, and scaling using
glScalef. The user can also paint the mesh, and this is why I need to translate the mouse coordinates to see if it intersects with the mesh.
I've read http://www.opengl.org/resources/faq/technical/selection.htm and the method where I use gluUnproject at the near and far plane and subtracting, and I have some success with it, but only when gluLookAt's position is (0, 0, z) where z can be any reasonable number. When I move the position to say (0, 1, z), it goes haywire and returns an intersection where there is only empty space, and returns no intersection where the mesh is clearly underneath the mouse.
This is how I'm making the ray from the mouse click to the scene:
float hx, hy;
hx = mouse_x;
hy = mouse_y;
GLdouble m1x,m1y,m1z,m2x,m2y,m2z;
GLint viewport[4];
GLdouble projMatrix[16], mvMatrix[16];
//unproject to find actual coordinates
gmVector3 dir = gmVector3(m2x,m2y,m2z) - gmVector3(m1x,m1y,m1z);
gmVector3 point;
bool intersected = findIntersection(gmVector3(0,0,5), dir, point);
I'm using glFrustum if that makes any difference.
The findIntersection code is really long and I'm pretty confident it works, so I won't post it unless someone wants to see it. The gist of it is that for every face in the mesh, find intersection between the ray and the plane, then see if the intersection point is inside the face.
I believe that it has to do with the camera's position and look at vector, but I don't know how, and what to do with them so that the mouse clicks on the mesh properly. Can anyone help me with this?
I also haven't yet made the rotation matrix or anything with the
glScalef, so can anyone give me insight into this? Like, does unproject account for the
multmatrix and
glScalef calls when calculating?
Many thanks!

"Average+. I got it only because of the narrator"
One of the greatest fashion trends of recent years.
Nothing original in the plot, one more deadly virus which revives after person dies.
We follow a batch of survivors as usual
In this kind of novels,we usually get:
1.Someone smart
2.Someone with medical skills
3.Someone romantic
4.Someone whith predisposition towards antisocial or psychotic behaviour
5.And of course we get someone with hero complex
add a couple of kids and a few pet animals into the mix kill someone along the way and you have a novel.
And dont forget to make characters do many stupid things.
And despite the standart formula for such novels, there are a few intersting characters, but I doubt I will buy the next book in the series.
"Michael Talbot final ordeal"
Michael Talbot
He suffered much over the years
he lived through zombie Apocalypse, Vampire hunting, alien invasion and gladiator fights.
but there is one more ordeal he hasn't suffered yet.
I want to thank Mark Tufo for all sadistic ways he thought off over the years to hurt "Michael Talbot"
"A bit of reality in the world of heroes"
Great book by great author.
Something in the middle between usual orthodox comics style and "BAD BOYS" comics by Garth Ennis
It is your choice
If you want something funny, easy to listen and interesting.
I have to say that all the series was a huge disappointment.
It became too long
at most it should have been 3 or 2 books
all this dragged out suffering was the last nail in the coffin
"* said;* said;* said;* said;* said;"
this damn transcript style makes me furious
Obumwe said,
Eagan said,
Wilson said,
Rickney said
I think I will wait until all of the episodes are available and continue then.
"Prologue to the next episode"
39 minutes ARE YOU SERIOUS?
If you exclude all names, there will be only 20 minutes left
this is just a prologue-side story to the next episode,
so don't waste time and buy episode 2 and 3 at once.
You read previous books and you know how it ended.
Trading was established and Earth's Iron Curtain was finally dropped.
and everybody lived happily ever after? NO, YOU ARE WRONG !
It's time for some reality Injection.
"UNDERAPPRECIATED Masterpiece!!!"
Second book is as good as the first,
and from this moment on
Jim Bernheimer is in my top 10 Favorite Authors
and Jeffrey Kafer performed an outstanding narration.
I was upset to find out that there is no 3rd book as of yet,
but according to the author he has plans
for at least 1 probably 2-3 more books in a dead eye series.
Let's hope they will be available soon.
This book was awesome!!!!
I decided to listen to a small 30 minute piece and I couldn't stop!!!!
I already bought the second book and I'm just waiting for the weekend.
The fortress is completely built, it's time to build ships, but
The Earth stopped communicating with Riggs
He has terrible personnel problems, he has only 300 men
And all his neighbors, damn Crustaceans, Blues and Crow are plotting against him,
The question is who friend and who is foe?
Sometimes I think it is The Only Original Sci-Fi series
Next book is "Annihilation" and I hope it will available very soon!
"Emperor will be back !!!"
One more worthy add to the series.
I hope that last 2 books will be available soon
(Jerry Sciarrio version please)
