Genre: Logic
Sudoku puzzles have only one rule, but they can be fiendishly difficult to solve. The rule is simply this: Fill in the grid so that every row, every column, and every 3 x 3 box contains the digits 1 through 9. SadMan Software Sudoku is a fantastic tool to help you solve these puzzles. It can act as an assistant, removing the tedium and error-prone updating of candidate pencil marks, whilst leaving you the fun of spotting the logic and patterns. Or, it can solve the puzzle completely automatically and provides a log of the logic behind each and every number placement and candidate elimination. If you get stuck, it can provide you with a series of increasingly detailed hints to get you going again - this is great for learning the more advanced techniques.
It can create an effectively unlimited number of Sudoku puzzles with various degrees of difficulty, or requiring particular techniques to solve. Every puzzle has a unique solution.
It solves Sudokus using exactly the same techniques that a human would, so you can follow the logical steps taken to reach the solution.
When solving automatically, it creates a log that shows the reason for entering each number in each cell, and the logic that allows for each elimination of candidates. This is great for learning the advanced techniques.
It can provide increasingly detailed hints. It first gives a fairly vague hint, then adds more detail. Great for learning!
It can open images of Sudoku puzzles, and extract the puzzle using optical character recognition (OCR.) This means you can drag'n'drop an image of a puzzle from a website, and the puzzle is automatically imported.
If you enter a puzzle with multiple solutions, it can determine how many there are, and then show them to you. (If only Sky One had used this to avoid the fiasco of their giant prize puzzle with 1905 solutions!)
It can show the possible candidates ("pencil-marks") for each cell and optionally keep them updated as you solve the puzzle. This removes the tedium and lets you focus on the logic.
It can highlight and/or prevent invalid entries.
When pasting from the clipboard, it will accept a wide variety of text styles, and even images. This is extremely useful if you want to copy from discussion forums, websites etc.
It can print the Sudoku puzzle enabling you to solve away from your computer if you prefer.
Small and simple to use.

Ham 'n' Cheese Quiche Recipe
When I was expecting our daughter, I made and froze these cheesy quiches as well as several other dishes. After her birth, it was nice to have dinner in the freezer when my husband and I were too tired to cook. —Christena Palmer, Green River, Wyoming
- 1 package (14.1 ounces) refrigerated pie pastry
- 2 cups diced fully cooked ham
- 2 cups (8 ounces) shredded sharp cheddar cheese
- 2 teaspoons dried minced onion
- 4 eggs
- 2 cups half-and-half cream
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon pepper
- 1. Preheat oven to 400°. Unroll pastry sheets into two 9-in. pie plates; flute edges. Line unpricked pastry shells with a double thickness of heavy-duty foil. Fill with pie weights, dried beans or uncooked rice. Bake 10-12 minutes or until light golden brown. Remove foil and weights; bake 3-5 minutes longer or until bottom is golden brown. Cool on wire racks.
- 2. Divide ham, cheese and onion between shells. In a large bowl, whisk eggs, cream, salt and pepper until blended. Pour into shells. Cover edges loosely with foil. Bake 35-40 minutes or until a knife inserted near the center comes out clean. Let stand 5-10 minutes before cutting. Yield: 2 quiches (6 servings each).

Household mentoring in Uganda
When it comes to bringing about change in the most disadvantaged households, development projects are often at a loss. Extreme poverty, illiteracy and lack of self-esteem isolate people and make them difficult to reach through the usual channels.Read more
Transforming the coffee value chain in Ethiopia
Smallholder coffee producers working with the IFAD-funded Agricultural Marketing Improvement Programme (AMIP) are proud of having helped to transform the Ethiopian coffee value chain, making it inclusive and efficient. In less than seven years, the programme has established eight coffee "liquoring" or tasting centres, the first of their kind in rural areas, and provided the necessary equipment and training to Ethiopian Commodity Exchange (ECX) staff. Thanks to these interventions, today the coffee tasting centres offer internationally recognized coffee grading and trading services.Read more
Guinea pigs bring prosperity to poor women in China
Poor women in a remote region of China have built up their businesses and worked their way out of poverty thanks to an IFAD-supported project that has taught them how to raise guinea pigs. The meat from these fast-breeding animals is a delicacy in Chinese cities and the project participants have tapped into these markets. Five years after the project they took part in closed, the women were still reaping the benefits.Read more
A Roots-to-Riches Story
Southeast Asia's transformation of cassava from a humble root crop from the Americas into a prized industrial input has an almost fairy tale quality. Until just a few decades ago, the crop was considered a secondary staple, playing a minor role in the region's rice-centered food system. But since the 1970s, cassava production has expanded by several orders of magnitude first in Thailand, then Vietnam and Cambodia, to meet rapidly rising demand from the livestock feed, starch, and biofuel markets.Read more

KGP5 Stars Out Of 5NIV button flap reference BibleMarch 20, 2015KGPQuality: 5Value: 5Meets Expectations: 5This review was written for NIV Compact Thinline Reference Button Flap, bonded burgundy 1984.I am a pastor and it is great to have a small Bible to travel with. This is a great size and it still comes with the helpful index and maps. I always want maps in my Bibles! The button flap is nice because I don't have to worry about pages being bent up when I toss it in the glove box or in a bag. The one draw back is small print if you're using it in services with dimmed lighting, like a tenebrae.

TunesareusVirginia3 Stars Out Of 53.5 starsJanuary 26, 2014TunesareusVirginiaThis review was written for NIV Compact Thinline Reference Bible, Italian Duo-tone, tan/black 1984.The quality of the cover on this Bible is good; smells like leather. The stitching and color combination is nice too. The cross references are plentiful, but there's not much in the way of alternative or original meanings for old or uncommon words. The font is small (I expected that from the description, so I haven't rated lower for that) but still quite readable. However, the print is light, which reduces visibility on already small print. This Bible is small and light enough to be very portable without being too tiny, but the pages are harder to turn because they're so thin (an issue with a lot of Thinline Bibles). I guess it's all in what's more important to you.

Rand Paul endorses immigrant path to citizenship
Like the Senate group, Paul would aim to secure the border before illegal immigrants could begin taking steps toward citizenship, and he emphasized this as a necessary first step to get support from conservatives.
"In order to bring conservatives to this cause, however, those who work for reform must understand that a real solution must ensure that our borders are secure," Paul said.
He didn't specify how the border would be made more secure but said the Border Patrol and an inspector general would have to sign off. Congress would also have to agree annually for five years that border security was progressing in order for the other reforms Paul envisions to keep moving forward.
In year two of his plan, illegal immigrants would begin to be issued temporary work visas, and would have to wait for an unspecified period of time in a probationary legal status before getting green cards. A bipartisan panel would determine the number of visas per year. High-tech visas would be expanded and a special visa for entrepreneurs would be issued. Illegal immigrants would not be able to get on a citizenship path ahead of anyone attempting the process legally.
Different from other approaches, Paul would not attempt to crack down on employers by expanding working verification systems, something he says is tantamount to "making every business owner a policeman"
"My plan will not grant amnesty or move anyone to the front of the line," Paul said. "But what we have now is de facto amnesty."

The Blue Ridge Parkway and North Carolina's Outer Banks
I had a military reunion at the Marine Base in Quantico, Virginia over the third weekend of October. Since I was heading up there anyway, why not take a few extra days and make it an enjoyable bike trip?
I had always wanted to travel the full length of the Blue Ridge Parkway, one of America's most scenic roads. I had done bits and pieces of it over the years, but never the entire length.
I sent off for a Blue Ridge Parkway directory and studied over it for a few weeks prior to the trip, wanting to see the sights and "smell the roses" along the way....
The BRP begins just outside of Waynesboro, Virginia, and traverses the Blue Ridge mountains for 469 miles, ending just a couple miles north of Cherokee, North Carolina.
Skyline Drive is essentially a continuation of the Blue Ridge Parkway, starting in Front Royal, Virginia and heading 105 miles south through Shenandoah National Park to Rockfish Gap, where the road turns into the Blue Ridge Parkway.
So if you wish to travel the full length of both these scenic byways, you have 574 miles of mountain twisties in front of you. Since I live in Georgia, to the south of the southern end of the BRP, my plans were to ride up to Cherokee, get on the southern terminus of the Blue Ridge Parkway, and ride its full length north to Shenandoah National Park, Virginia, and then the full length of Skyline Drive.
A history of the BRP... http://www.virtualblueridge.com/park...al/parkway.asp
My trusty wingman, as usual, is RocDoc, on his '07 R1200GSA.
About an hour north of home, we agreed to ride up Currahee mountain near Toccoa, Georgia, made famous in the HBO miniseries "Band Of Brothers". The soldiers of the 506th Parachute Infantry Regiment trained here for the combat parachute jumps into occupied France on the first day of Operation Overlord (D-Day).
Currahee... Cherokee for "Stands Alone". The mountain stands about 800 feet (240 m) above the surrounding landscape, with an elevation of 1,735 feet (529 m).
Three miles up... three miles down. Those young men frequently ran up and down this mountain during their training. This photo doesn't really show how steep the road is. 506th PIR = absolute bad-asses.
A couple hours later, we rolled into Cherokee, NC and gassed up. From previous experience, I knew that the southernmost sections of the BRP were the most twisty, as those parts are the most mountainous, and also at the highest elevation, nearly 6200 feet at its highest point.
BRP Mile 469, the southernmost end, just above Cherokee, NC on U.S. 441.
The Parkway and its right-of-ways are maintained by the National Park Service, with no tractor-trailers and other commercial traffic allowed. The BRP and Skyline Drive are essentially National Parks, built and maintained to provide a pleasant drive with beautiful scenery.
With the exception of only a couple gas stations, there are no services (restaurants, gas, & motels) on the Parkway itself. To access these services, you have to exit the Parkway at a crossroad. This is where the BRP Directory comes in handy, using it as a quick reference as to where one can stop for gas, motels, etc.
The Devil's Courthouse
Looking Glass Rock, so named because of the monolith's high reflectivity when covered with ice and sleet.
An early winter storm had rolled through the area just two days before, and the section of the BRP's highest elevation was closed due to ice and snow on the roadway. This was our first of three mandatory detours.
We were able to get back on the BRP above Waynesville, NC and rode until nearly dark, where we exited again to find a motel in Asheville.
Picking up the next day, heading north from Asheville...
Sheets of icicles on the road up to Mount Mitchell.
Near the summit of Mount Mitchell, the highest point east of the Mississippi River, 6,684 feet (2,037 m). No yellow... tasty!
Continuing on...
We encountered another detour near Blowing Rock, NC. This one was due to road repairs, and was listed on the BRP website, along with directions.
The third detour we encountered was also in NC, due to the authorities closing the road to investigate a crime scene. We never heard any details, and the road was re-opened shortly thereafter.
Note how the leaves are more red and gold as we head north. South of us, the nights hadn't been quite as cold, and the foliage was still green. As we headed further north, up into northern Virginia, the foliage had just about played out. Most of the leaves there were brown or had already fallen.
We found a nice mom-and-pop motel in Meadows Of Dan, Virginia.
While gassing up the following morning, a couple riders saw the ADV stickers on our panniers and breezed across the street to say hello. It was Fast Ferris and his bud RotsORuck from BadWeB. Ferris was on his Harley and Ed on a Buell Ulysses. We spent a few minutes talking about bikes and riding, and lamenting the loss of Buell.
Rockfish Gap, near Waynesboro, Virginia. Mile 0 of the Blue Ridge Parkway, and Mile 105 of Skyline Drive. Just to the left is the southern entrance of Shenandoah National Park. The entry fee for motorcycles is $10.00, with a strictly enforced speed limit of 35 MPH.
The northern entrance of Skyline Drive, after having ridden well more than the usual 574 miles of it and the BRP, due to the detours.
I would highly recommend this ride, especially during October, when the fall foliage is in full color.
From here in Front Royal, we rode an hour east (in the dark) to Dumfries. This would be home base for the next couple days. I went to my reunion, and RocDoc went into Washington DC to see the sights.
More to follow...
Sunday, October 25. With my reunion over and RocDoc's Washington DC meanderings done, we hit the road, taking the long way home (cue the old Supertramp song...)
We rode north on I-95 past Washington, taking U.S. 50 toward Annapolis, MD. We crossed the bridge over Chesapeake Bay, and rode east through the remainder of Maryland, into Delaware.
At Georgetown, we turned south into Maryland again, and then down the Virginia peninsula heading toward Norfolk.
But to get to Norfolk, we had to cross the Chesapeake Bay Bridge and Tunnel, which covers a distance of nearly 18 miles across the mouth of Chesapeake Bay. There are three sections of bridge, separated by two sections of tunnel where the water is deepest. The shipping channels pass above the submerged tunnels...
Obviously not my photo
From the Bay Bridge / Tunnel website:
On the bridge, approaching a tunnel
We continued south through Norfolk and Virginia Beach into North Carolina, then east to the Outer Banks. We arrived in Kitty Hawk after dark, and rode to Nag's Head before we found a motel.
North Carolina's Outer Banks, from north to south.
The Outer Banks are a chain of barrier islands along North Carolina's coast, separating the Atlantic Ocean from the inland sounds and waterways...
We had ridden down to Kitty Hawk from Norfolk the night before, and spent the night in Nag's Head. We would then head south on Hwy 12, past Cape Hattaras to the end of the island at Hattaras Village.
In many places, the Outer Banks are only a couple hundred yards wide. As this is looking south, the dunes are on the left, with the Atlantic Ocean just past them. The sound, several hundred square miles of calm but shallow sea water is just a few yards to the right.
We caught a passenger / auto ferry at Hattaras for the 30-40 minute trip to Ocracoke Island, the next island south. Reservations are recommended...
Ocracoke Island
The Atlantic Ocean, just past the dunes.
Leaving Ocracoke village, heading toward Cedar Island, two and a half hours away.
RocDoc containing his excitement
Ships that pass in the night
Back on the road, heading south to Beaufort (Bo-furt. Not to be confused with Bew-furt, which is in South Carolina) and Morehead City, then back onto the islands at Atlantic Beach.
You can't see it in my crappy pic, but he's giving me (and you) the ADV salute.
We continued on until the highway took us to Jacksonville, where we headed inland and toward I-95, I-20, and home. We arrived home at about 11 pm.
In all, 1876 miles in six days, stopping to smell the roses.
Thanks for coming along. :ricky
Looks great! thanks for taking us along, especially to the outer banks! haven't seen that here... :thumb
Great report. Some of my favorite roads too!
Great report. Some of my favorite roads too!
But some of the side roads are sheer entertainment in and of themselves. :D
Looka like an interesting area to ride...........
update from Stretch's said riding partner Rocdoc... yesterday Stretch had a pickup truck assisted get off and is in the hospital here in our home town. He got a slightly collapsed lung, a cracked rib, three back and two neck vertebrae cracked. Doesn't look like any surgery will be needed, but he'll be a while recovering. Good wishes appreciated. Rocdoc
Hoping he gets well soon :thumb
His pics reminded me of my time riding through those lovely roads. :ricky
We did almost the same ride but started from montreal this summer! :lol3
Someone looks a little chilly!:evil
Bring...It...On...:clap :clap :clap

I adore going out for dinner, and if it wasn't so damned expensive to do so, I would likely do that every night. Other than being home or with my friends at our houses, I also like to go shopping. Ok that sounded feminine, sorry
lets see, i love italian food, heavy metal, drawing, animating, making movies, watching movies, video games, eating, playing guitar, singing, computers, fixing or making stuff, laughing, sleeping in, im pretty much a really cool nerd ;)
I'm a huge pop culture fan, and I'm into movies, music, cartoons, and nintendo pretty hardcore since i was a kid. Im extremely laid back and friendly. sometimes happy-go-lucky, sometimes devil-may-care, but almost always goofy
Well, right off the top of my head, nothing. I'm admittedly not a reader, WAY too visually oriented and much too ADD for a book to hold my interest. But if you love to read, that's great too.

A new Percona Toolkit series has been released: Percona Toolkit 2.2 for MySQL 5.6. Several months in the making and many new features, changes, and improvements make this a great new series. It replaces the 2.1 series for which we plan to do only one more bug fix release (as 2.1.10) then retire. 2.2 is […]

Is MySQL 5.6 slower than MySQL 5.5?
There have been a number reports/benchmarks showing MySQL 5.6 to be slower than MySQL 5.5 on variety of workloads. There are many possible reasons and I believe we will learn about many of them in the next few weeks and months as MySQL 5.6 is starting to get production battle-tested and there is inflow of […]
Measuring the amount of writes in InnoDB redo logs
Choosing a good InnoDB log file size is key to InnoDB write performance. This can be done by measuring the amount of writes in the redo logs. You can find a detailed explanation in this post. To sum up, here are the main points: The redo logs should be large enough to store at most […]
When is MIN(DATE) != MIN(DATE) ?
Inspiration for this post is courtesy of a friend and former colleague of mine, Greg Youngblood, who pinged me last week with an interesting MySQL puzzle. He was running Percona Server 5.5.21 with a table structure that looks something like this:
CREATE TABLE foo (
id INT UNSIGNED NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT PRIMARY KEY,
uid INT UNSIGNED NOT NULL,
update_time DATETIME NOT NULL,
INDEX `uid` (uid, update_time),
INDEX `bar` (some_other_columns)
) ENGINE=InnoDB;
When he ran this query:
SELECT MIN(update_time) FROM foo WHERE update_time IS NOT NULL AND update_time <> '0000-00-00 00:00:00';
The result came back as 2012-06-22 10:28:16. […]
DROP TABLE and stalls: Lazy Drop Table in Percona Server and the new fixes in MySQL
Suppose you have turned on innodb_file_per_table (which means that each table has its own tablespace), and you have to drop tables in a background every hour or every day. If its once every day then you can probably schedule the table dropping process to run during off-peak hours. But I have seen cases where the […]
dbqp and Xtrabackup testing
So I'm back from the Percona dev team's recent meeting. While there, we spent a fair bit of time discussing Xtrabackup development. One of our challenges is that as we add richer features to the tool, we need equivalent testing capabilities. However, it seems a constant in the MySQL world that available QA tools often […]
Side load may massively impact your MySQL Performance
When we're looking at benchmarks we typically run some stable workload and we run it in isolation – nothing else is happening on the system. This is not however how things happen in real world when we have significant variance in the load and many things can be happening concurrently. It is very typical to […]
Preprocessing Data
There are many ways of improving response times for users. There are some people that spend a lot of time, energy and money on trying to have the application respond as fast as possible at the time when the users made the request. Those people may miss out on an opportunity to do some or […]
Flexviews – part 3 – improving query performance using materialized views
Combating "data drift" In my first post in this series, I described materialized views (MVs). An MV is essentially a cached result set at one point in time. The contents of the MV will become incorrect (out of sync) when the underlying data changes. This loss of synchronization is sometimes called drift. This is conceptually […]
What is innodb_support_xa?
A common misunderstanding about innodb_support_xa is that it enables user-initiated XA transactions, that is, transactions that are prepared and then committed on multiple systems, with an external transaction coordinator. This is actually not precisely what this option is for. It enables two-phase commit in InnoDB (prepare, then commit). This is necessary not only for user-initiated […]

A Virginia man says he lost 150 pounds in a year and a half - all because he finally started sleeping better.
He walks at his own leisurely pace. But if you would've known Tim Felton a year and a half ago, you could appreciate the mountain he has climbed. He takes out his license to show the size he left behind. That would be at 365 pounds.
Another photo he shows was taken During a cruise vacation splurge with his wife at his side - the same woman who used to worry about him every night.
TimWent to see a sleep neurologist, Dr. Dimi Barot, to do something about his snoring and blinding migraine headaches.
Barot tested his sleep and found Tim stopped breathing 66 times an hour. He immediately put him on a continuous positive air pressure machine, or a CPAP.
Because there isn't an exchange of air that would normally take place with breathing, oxygen levels do drop. So, when you splint the airway open, you restore normal oxygen levels without having to directly give oxygen, Barot says.
Tim began getting 98 percent more oxygen a night compared to 60 percent.
His headaches disappeared and to his shock...So did the weight.
I didn't notice until the weight started to drop off, cause I had started working out before coming here and trying to lose weight and it was very slow, Tim says. It was starting to accelerate a little bit and I started having more energy. That's the key, I believe.
Barot explains what happens.
The three fat hormones: Cortisol, leptin, and ghrelin, are dependent upon normal and healthy sleep, he says. So many people jump-start, for lack of a better word, their metabolism when they effectively are treated for sleep apnea.
Once those hormones are regulated you don't have the same carb cravings. Tim now works out six times a week, walking, weights, and yard work. Humility is no longer his only strength.
I try to be low key about it, but inside, yes, I'm very, very happy with myself, Tim beams.
And his wife? She says he's a new man.

IOWA CITY, Iowa -- No player received more negative feedback last year than Iowa guard Josh Oglesby, who shot 26.9 percent from 3-point range. But the junior from Cedar Rapids has reversed his fortune completely.
Oglesby has drilled 12 of 20 3-point attempts (60 percent) this year, and he's altered the outcome of Iowa's last two games with big shots. Sunday, Oglesby had his most impressive performance. He made his first four 3-point attempts, including two in a 29-second span late in the first half. Those 3-pointers the second with 3 seconds left in the half chopped a Minnesota lead from eight points to two.
All five of Oglesby's 3-pointers arrived at critical junctures and his first four 3-pointers came when Iowa trailed Minnesota. Oglesby's first 3-pointer from the top of the key gave Iowa an 11-9 lead early in the first half. His second from the left wing brought Iowa within one point at 25-24. His third (right corner) and fourth (where he circled around a defender and shot from the left wing) were dramatic (as noted above). His final 3-pointer took the Hawkeyes' tepid six-point advantage to nine points with 5:35 left in the game.
It's a remarkable turnaround for a player who struggled mightily last year and suffered a broken right foot in early November. He didn't play his first game until Dec. 22. There was even serious talk that Oglesby should red-shirt. Confidence and an improved mindset are among the factors why the 6-foot-5 Oglesby has been successful.
"Well, I think it's a combination of things," Iowa Coach Fran McCaffery said. "No. 1, he is more experienced. He's healthy now. He's been through it. But he's a talented player. I mean, I've been saying that over and over. His defense (Sunday) was nothing short of spectacular. It was the same thing against Ohio State. We kind of look at him and say, 'OK, is Josh hitting 3s,' and then gauge him on that only. I don't. He's not a mistake maker. He defends, gets a huge offensive rebound. He just has an incredible feel and sense of how to play."
"There's a lot of people talking about me, doubting me and stuff like that," Oglesby said. "I'm just going to keep working hard and playing and hopefully keep winning."
Oglesby secured a late rebound off a Devyn Marble missed 3-point attempt and initially considered going up for the putback. Instead he brought it back out and killed time off the clock. Perhaps his most underrated play didn't end up in the stat sheet. With Iowa leading 56-53, Oglesby passed up a shot and instead made a terrific pass down low to Gabe Olaseni, who put the ball up but was fouled. The shot didn't fall and Olaseni went to the free-throw line, so Oglesby didn't get the assist. But he deserved one.

Eye dominance is probably established when we are very young. Newborn babies do not see very well at all. We must "learn" to see and make sense of the visual images that we are bombarded with as babies. My guess is that as we learn to make sense of these visual images, the view from one of our eyes becomes the one that our brain choses to be the dominant view. It may be the image from the chosen eye that has some optical superiority or it may be 'cuz of some other physical trait within the optice nerve or within the brain. It could be that muscles associated with 1 eye develops quicker than the other or it can even be largely arbitrary as to which eye is chosen as dominant.
The problems with your backhand may be more as a result with your astigmatism rather than your eye dominance. Or it could be that your backhand problem has less to do with eyesight than it does with stroke mechanics or your stroke timing on the Bh side.
For other that have problems with the "flower" pix, the idea is to get your eyes close-converge on the tip of the pencil. Hold the pencil approx 1/2 way between your nose and the stereo images. Focus & converge your eyes on the tip of the pencil (with the images in the background). You may have to move the pencil closer or further to get your eyes to generate a 3rd image. Keep your eyes converged on the pencil while trying to bring the new image into focus. (Even tho' your eyes remain converged on the pencil tip, the pencil will no longer be in focus if you are doing this properly).
Some ppl will have more difficulty with close-convergence (cross-eyed View) images than with the other type of images (such as the 1st 2 stereograms that I posted). This may or may not be as a result of convergence insufficiency (or some other vergence problem). Best to consult a professional about this.
Some years before 3D stereograms became popular, I sought the aid of a sports vision optometrist for some moderate visual shortcomings. One thing that he found was convergence insufficiency. One of the devices that he used to aid me with my convergence prob was the Brock string. (For a closer look at the device click here). Another convergence aid was the use of 2 pairs of card with the following images:
Figure 1
For figure 1, the eyes are supposed to converge in the distance (so that the eye vergence is almost parallel). If done properly, a 3-D effect will be observed such that the inner (green) circle appears closer than the larger (red) circle. For more on this check out this link.
Figure 2
For figure 2, the eyes should close-converge (use the pencil trick, if needed, to get your eyes to cross). This time the inner (green) circle should appear further (in the background) than the larger (red) circle.
For more about both types of figures check this link.
For an added challenge, try to switch back and forth between parallel viewing & cross-viewing (note that the images above can actually be seen using either vergence method). Try to keep the 3-D effect intact while moving your head left & right for each type. Try moving further & nearer to the screen while keeping the derived image from getting doubled or distorted.
For a a more advanced challenge, print out 1 or both of the above images (make them a little larger if your prefer). Cut each of the printed figures up the middle. You can now physically very the distance between the left eye circles and the right eye circles. For a given seperation, first get your eyes to generate the proper 3D image. Once you've got the 3D image locked, vary the seperation while continuing to maintain that 3D image.
See if you can get your hands on a Brock string so that you can perform some focus & vergence eye training on your own. With the 3 beads at various distances try to jump quickly from 1 to another. With each jump, converge & focus on the new bead a cleanly (& quickly) as possible.
For more stereograms also check out the links mentioned previously as well as EyeTricks. Also google on "stereograms" for more. For other types of visual exercises take a look at post #2 and post #12 (coming soon) on my Improving RT & Visual skills thread.

No other emergency roadside assistant program such as Aaa are doing this. Also, no other motor club have unlimited benefits besides MCA.
The business opportunity that MCA has pretty much sells itself, since there are 30 million roadside assistance calls in North America each year.

Justin C. Foot Solo
I saw Justin at a bar and was definitely attracted to him and very curious to see his feet. He had shoes on that night and we did not talk at all. Well a couple months later and through a contact I was able to ask him if he would be interested in showing his feet off here on my site. He said sure and within a couple days it happened. This scene is also the first time I got to see this studs barefeet and I was not disappointed. Watching him caress and massage his feet was so hot. I want to worship his size 12 feet someday so I hope that he is up for that to.

Maryland resident Richard Retta faces a $10,000 fine for FACE act violations.
The FACE Act exists simply to keep anti-choice extremists from using violence or other terrorist tactics against abortion clinics and patients. Anyone "pro-life" should oppose terrorism, so why are anti-choicers fighting FACE instead?
Six people have been accused of FACE Act violations so far during the Obama administration, compared to one case under the Bush administration.
A judge rules that a Philidelphia clinic cannot be sued for not letting activists physically touch patients, but does not allow the clinic to defend them, either.
Clinic violence and harassment has been increasing, and two men are charged this weekend in separate cases.
The DOJ sues on a FACE violation; SBA List wants a anti-choic-ier chairman of the RNC; Gardasil protects against anal cancer; and a place to vent your worst sex education advice.
Donald Hertz gets five years probation for FACE violations, including threatening abortion provider Dr. Warren Hern and his family.
Kansas has long been a hotbed of anti-choice protests stoked by a hard-right political climate and conservative religious views. But the prairie state is now home-base for the most radical elements of the movement.
Bart Stupak, now complaining about threats and harassment for his position on health reform, voted against the landmark 1994 Freedom to Access Clinic Entrances Act (FACE Act) that protects providers against harassment.
A judge orders a mental competency hearing for a Washington man who threatened to kill Colorado physican Dr. Warren Hern.

IBM Research has a prototype of a data-driven personal shopping assistant mobile app.
IBM Research announced the prototype of a mobile app that can act as a personal shopping assistant in stores.
The mobile app could be branded and provided by retailers. Consumers would download the app and then input products they're shopping for and their selection criteria.
For example, a shopper looking for breakfast cereal could specify a product that's low in sugar, highly rated by consumers and on sale. As the shopper pans the mobile device's camera across a shelf of cereal boxes, the augmented shopping app will identify cereals that meet the criteria - and could also provide a same-day coupon or loyalty points.
Consumers could also opt in to include info from their social networks, such as reviews or comments from friends. Their preferences would be stored and added to during subsequent shopping trips to build a more robust preference profile.
On the front end, here's how it would work: Upon entering a store, consumers download the app on their smart phone or tablet, register, and create a profile of features that matter to them - from product ingredients that will inflame an allergy, to whether packaging is biodegradable. When the shopper views a product via the camera viewfinder, the app recognizes it and, via augmented reality technology, overlays digital details on the image, such as ingredients, price, reviews, and discounts that apply that day.
"This will help you make a very accurate and precise decision relative to the criteria you have," said John Kennedy, VP of corporate marketing for IBM Research.
Of course, the magic would happen on the back end, and that's the big play for IBM.
IBM Research thinks that the app can help retailers offer marketing - in the form of product information, coupons or suggestions for related products - that would be welcomed by consumers. At the same time, the data it produces can give retailers insights into consumer trends.
But the devil is in the details. Exactly how this would work, data-wise, remains to be determined, according to Kennedy.
The app would pull information loaded by the retailer into its database running on IBM Smarter Commerce software, which IBM said provides a single view of the customer, inventory orders and shipments. But it's unclear whether that database would contain all the criteria that might be important to an individual shopper, such as environmentally friendly packaging.
Kennedy could not say how the app would be packaged with other technology or services to provide a full product for retailers.
Nevertheless, IBM has a goal of releasing the technology by the end of the year, Kennedy said, adding, "At this point, it's a demonstration of a really interesting technology that starts to provide a glimpse of how shopping will evolve. There's more work to be done on the implementation and roll-out. The goal for IBM is that this would be another aspect of our relationship with retailers."

But if I want to find something within $10, no way I am going to scroll through pages and pages of models just to find something that fits. ---]]> yanying 2009-01-27T06:09:33-00:00 Re: Option of sorting models in gallery by price? http://www.shapeways.com/forum/index.php?t=rview&goto=2719&th=617#msg_2719 And I can imagine you would like to just select a price range?

Klemm already impacting UCLA football
WESTWOOD, Calif.
Adrian Klemm was finally heading back home.
The Southern Methodist University assistant coach packed up his belongings in two days and left Texas for Los Angeles after a 30-second phone chat with new UCLA head coach Jim L. Mora.
"'Hey, this is Jim Mora,'" said Klemm, vividly recalling their conversation. "Would you be interested in coming back home?'"
Klemm was very interested.
"He asked, 'What do we need to do?' and I said 'Coach, just be fair to me and I'm there.' And that was our conversation. We never talked about the financial aspect until I got here."
Less than two months later, Mora and his new football staff — including Klemm as his run game coordinator/offensive line coach — reeled in Scout.com's No. 12 overall recruiting class. UCLA was now a national story but this time, it was for all the right reasons.
Klemm says that even though he and Mora had never met or talked to each other prior to that brief phone conversation, Klemm became Mora's first hire. While Klemm's official experience as an assistant coach at SMU was for only three years, what he did in that short time perfiod impressed Mora. Even more impressive was that four years ago, Klemm had never thought about a career in coaching despite growing up in a coaching family.
Klemm's father, Leo, was a basketall coach at Saint Monica Catholic High School, where Adrian attended.
Recruited as a linebacker out of high school in 1995, Adrian Klemm eventually became a four-year starter on the offensive line at Hawaii. Klemm was drafted in 2000 by the New England Patriots in the early second round and collected three Super Bowl rings. His final two years in the league were spent with the Green Bay Packers.
Klemm retired after the 2005 season and moved to Scottsdale, Ariz.
"I started getting into golf," he said." I got a pro to teach me, but the more lessons I took, the worse I got."
It was at that time in 2008 when June Jones, Klemm's former coach at Hawaii, gave him a call and asked him to come out to SMU and volunteer his time to help out with the Mustangs' offensive line. Since his golf game was suffering, Klemm agreed and soon realized how much he missed football.
"My dad's a coach, but I thought I would never be interested in it," he said "I'd been away from football for a long time and I missed it a little but … being around the kids, I really enjoyed it."
The following year, Klemm was officially hired as the offensive line coach. Within three years, Klemm added some more titles to his resume: recruiting coordinator and FOXSports/Scout.com's Conference USA Recruiter of the Year.
And then came the phone call from Jim Mora last December.
With his family close by, a nice place to call home by the water and a short commute to a school whose football team he loved while growing up, Klemm looks happy. He says he has always been a UCLA fan. But the last decade has been filled with disappointment — both of Mora's predecessors, Karl Dorrell and Rick Neuheisel, couldn't get the program back on track.
"Coach Neuheisel did a good job by getting the right kind of kids here," Klemm says. "Obviously, this is one of the top schools academically in the country so you have to have a certain type of kid here. The kid that's mature, a kid that's focused on school and a number of times when you get that type of kid he's going to be a good kid."
So how do Klemm and secondary coach/defensive pass coordinator Demetrice Martin recruit so well when USC is just 15 miles to the east?
"We're all young," Klemm said. "It's all about relationships. If you're genuine and just be yourself and you're not trying to run game on kids they recognize that — so do parents."
Klemm recalls one visit with prospect Carl Hulick — the center was a solid commit to SMU but he eventually flipped to the Bruins. Klemm and Mora made a home visit with Hulick.
"His dad's a huge guy … he's probably 6-foot-4, about 300 pounds — and he was doing handstands in the living room, the dog's running around and everything," Klemm laughs. "Great dinner, great food, she [Carl's mother] makes the best spaghetti."
Besides forging genuine relationships, Klemm also attributes another important facet of recruiting to his success: social media.
"Some older coaches are resistant to it," said Klemm, who used social media to promote Bruins football in the weeks leading up to Signing Day. "Facebook, Twitter, Instagram … all those different things like that. That's what the kids are on. They're more willing to converse with you on there than on the phone. That's huge."
One of the biggest prospects UCLA landed was Ellis McCarthy, a five-star defensive tackle who was originally committed to Cal.
Demetrice Martin "did a phenomenal job coming in and recruiting [McCarthy], stealing him and getting him here," Klemm says. "It's important for us to get some major talent locally and some guys who carry a lot of weight name-wise and [with] name recognition because it opens some eyes."
Martin predicts McCarthy "will be a freshman phenom" and redshirting doesn't seem likely.
But Klemm says that McCarthy isn't the only one who will bring excitement back to UCLA football.
"In practices, there's going to be a lot more intensity and physicality, just more purpose and focus," Klemm said.
Get the latest college football recruiting news from Scout.com.
Spring practices are right around the corner the sense of urgency is high on the second floor of J.D. Morgan Center, the facility that houses UCLA's athletic staff and administration. Athletic staff members don't stroll through the halls on the second floor — they walk quickly. There's more energy, more purpose, more intensity.
At 34 years old, a head coaching job is inevitable for this assistant coach who has this recruiting thing down pat, and is finally back home.
But Klemm's not perfect.
"You win some, you lose some," he admits. "Hopefully I win more than I lose."

are they on the end of your nose?
Wish I could help you.

Earlier today, I had my cell phone in my left hand while I was driving and I was looking for my cell phone on the passenger seat before I noticed that I was holding it in the left hand. (Sigh)
Take your right hand, run it over your head. Are they there? That's where I always find mine.

If not, how about this? Where were you playing with your puppy? Near the couch? check in the cushions, under the couch, maybe you set them down on the end table and they got knocked off so they are down behind it. Back yard? Maybe under the patio furniture, or on a window ledge.
Check your fridge. That's where my Mom left hers.
if you help me find my contact
i steped on them.
Oops...I pooted...
*Starts looking*
Found them.

3rd Person View lets you star in your own action videos
A skateboarding shot taken using the 3rd Person View camera-mounting system
An actioncam of the user's choice is attached to the end of the pole via the user's own camera-specific mount
The system is said to allow for a variety of shooting angles, as opposed to other products that simply let the camera look in at the user's face
The 3rd Person View reportedly weighs less than 950 grams (2 lbs) and fits inside a backpack when disassembled
A skiing shot taken using the 3rd Person View camera-mounting system
The kite- and windsurfing-specific model of the 3rd Person View
The 3rd Person View consists of three parts – a waterproof adjustable waistband with a carbon sandwich backplate; an alloy adjustable camera pole; and, a locking/release mechanism
The 3rd Person View in use at Whistler
The 3rd Person View camera-mounting system allows action videographers to get shots of themselves from a number of angles
Article Summary
If you like to shoot point-of-view videos of your "extreme" endeavors, perhaps you sometimes get people saying "How come we never get to see you in any of these?". Well, you can address that by using something like the BoomPro or Go360 – both devices suspend your camera from your helmet, allowing it to get a shot of you. Soon, however, you may be able to get something a bit fancier, in the form of the 3rd Person View.

Thanks for posting these Smack. They make my point.
No worries, Swaindaddy. Actually, I think what this shows more than anything is your definition of "perfection". It's much, much narrower than the typical interpretation of what most would even remotely consider "perfect". So this was a very good exercise. Now the 99%-er can have a clear illustration of what you mean by "the perfect yacht": a floating tractor.
How about some more photos of your boat so we can see more perfection?

Just to be clear, I only ridicule and obstruct disingenuous knuckleheads. And I have unlimited funds to do so.

Officials at MIT Medical report that the norovirus outbreak on campus has abated.
Clinicians at MIT Medical are reporting an increased number of patients with acute gastroenteritis—"probably norovirus," says Associate Medical Director Howard Heller.
In an effort to replace sore backs and sugary snacks with better options, last year's admissions committee formed their own cross-departmental wellness program to help employees weather the tough hours a little easier.
The national health insurance provider Anthem recently announced it was the target of a sophisticated external cyber attack.
Clinicians and support staff rallied to keep the Urgent Care walk-in service operating through a powerful nor'easter that closed the Institute for two days at the end of January.
