Important PR65 Brown 1833 Half Cent1833 1/2 C PR65 Brown NGC. C-1, B-1, R.1. R-5 as proof. Fully reflective and iridescent surfaces with sea-green, lilac, and gold colors. All design elements are fully detailed. The obverse has a light die crack beginning at the outer point of star 2, continuing to star 7, and into the field over the hair curls. This crack is heaviest between the inner points of stars 5 and 6. Numerous die finishing lines are present on Liberty's bust, neck, and cheek. There are no readily apparent die defects on the reverse. Most important in the context of the present offering is a complete lack of clash marks on the reverse. Certain aspects of the design show evidence of double striking, and this is especially visible on the reverse. The reverse is rotated clockwise about 15 degrees.
Although a few examples are known without the obverse die crack, most have the crack in the same state as this example. There is continuing discussion regarding the criteria for proof examples of this issue, as many business strikes are known with fully mirrored fields. There is no doubt that those few examples without the obverse die crack are proof strikes. It is probably also the case that examples without the reverse clash marks are proofs, much like this coin. Any examples that exhibit clash marks within the wreath are strictly considered business strikes. EAC PR60.(Registry values: P3) (NGC ID# 2239, PCGS# 1198)

|1 1⁄4 Cup (20 tbs)
|Grape jelly/Red currant jelly
|1 1⁄4 Cup (20 tbs)
|Ground allspice
|1 1⁄4 Teaspoon
|Ground red pepper
|1⁄8 Teaspoon
|1 Clove (5 gm), minced

|2 Medium, cut into 1 inch cubes
Combine the chili sauce, jelly, allspice, red pepper, and garlic in a small bowl.
Place the pork in a self-sealing plastic food storage bag, add half the chili sauce mixture, push out all the air, and seal.
Marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes or overnight.
Meanwhile, cook the sweet po-tatoes, uncovered, in a medium-size saucepan of boiling water for 12 to 15 minutes or until firm-tender.
Drain and set aside.
Thread the onion and zucchini cubes on eight 8-inch metal skewers, dividing the total amount evenly and alternating the vegetables.
Thread the pork cubes on another four 8-inch metal skewers.

43 year old woman | Saint Petersburg, FL, USA | Seeking men 38-49 within 20 miles

Looking for Mr. Personality!
I'm a Florida native who enjoys living in paradise. Being on and near the water makes me happy. I love to travel (wish I could find the time to do it more often!) My current list of places I would like to see include Greece, Aspen, Ireland, and Vegas. Yes, I know Vegas stands out as odd, but I have never been and am dying to see what it's all about. Maybe I am secretly attracted to the flashing lights and sparkly things.... ;) Ok, so type of guy... Well from my friends' observations (scary when they can pick out your "type") broad shoulders, a little soft in the middle to cuddle with, big heart, big brain, and lots of testosterone. I like an alpha guy... But one that knows how to lead without always standing in front and that sometimes its just best to let me have my way. :) Clarity about where you're going in life, what your values are, and what you're looking for in a relationship is essential; emotional stability is imperative. Be quick to smile, slow to judge. Physical attraction is important to me, but intelligence, sense of humor, open-mindedness, a sense of adventure, kindness, compassion and the ability to hold a decent conversation are all items on my wish list. As far as the kids go... My oldest (daughter) is freshman at USF and I have twin boys that are in fifth grade. (look and act nothing alike) I have 50-50 custody with their dad (yes, same dad for all 3). Don't be scared. They are great kids. :) housebroken and everything. I would prefer a guy with older or no kids. (Older is open to interpretation and flexible with the right situation but generally middle school or older) Would love to hear from you if you think you might enjoy spending some time with me and getting to know each other. We can figure out the rest later. Please, don't just wink and keep liking my pictures. I don't mind that once to gauge interest but if I respond in kind, send a message. I prefer a strong man and a strong man knows how to say hello rather than just hoping the lady with do it for him.

University of Florida, Gainesville, FL
I love living in St. Pete. I have lived other places around Florida and in St. Louis and this is just one of those places where you put down roots and want to stay.
Some things I like to do are entertaining, cooking and baking, going to movies/theater, traveling, taking long walks, going to museums and art exhibits, photography, spending time with my kids, anything in or on the water...

Originally written on Pro Sports Daily | Last updated 10/28/12
DETROIT -- Matthew Stafford looked like his old self and gave the Detroit Lions a desperately needed victory. Stafford had three touchdown passes, including a one-yard game-winner to Titus Young with 20 seconds remaining, to give the Lions a 28-24 victory over the Seattle Seahawks at Ford Field on Sunday. Stafford also ran for a score and finished with 352 yards passing while completing 34 of 49 attempts. Stafford tossed 41 touchdown passes last season but had just five in Detroit's first six games this season. Young, replacing the injured Nate Burleson, caught nine passes for 100 yards and two scores. Seattle running back Marshawn Lynch, who entered the game as the league's fourth-leading rusher with 652 yards, had a career-long 77-yard touchdown run in the first half. He finished with 105 yards on 12 carries. Rookie Seattle quarterback Russell Wilson completed 24 of 34 passes for 217 yards and two touchdowns. Stafford scored on a one-yard bootleg, his third rushing t...

Criterium du Dauphiné Prologue: Boom wins from Vinokourov and Wiggins
Dutch rider puts in quickest time as rain causes problems for early starters
Lars Boom of Rabobank, a former world cyclo-cross champion and also an expert time trialler, won today's Prologue of the 2011 Criterium du Dauphiné in Saint-Jean-de-Maurienne, with Alexander Vinokourov of Astana second and Team Sky's Bradley Wiggins third.
At just 5.4km, today's course may have been short, but lots of twists and turns as well as traffic islands, roundabouts and assorted street furniture meant that it was highly technical.
Slippery roads as a result of a downpour this morning presented an additional hazard for earlier starters including Team Sky's Geraint Thomas, who had been hopeful of challenging for the victory today.
The Welshman, one of the first riders out today, put in a time of 6 minutes 35 seconds to make himself provisional leader at that stage, his time matched by another time trial specialist, HTC-Highroad's Tony Martin, but others went quicker as the rain stopped and the sun came out.
By the time Team Sky's Bradley Wiggins took to the course in the colours of British national time trial champion, the roads had dried out, and his time of 6 minutes 23 seconds was 3 seconds inside the previous best, which had been set by the AG2R rider, Blel Kadri.
His lead didn't last long however, as the next but one rider out, Rabobank's Boom, crossed the line in a time of 6 minutes 18 seconds on his way to claiming the Prologue win and the leader's jersey which he will sport in tomorrow's 144km stage from Albertville to Saint-Pierre-de-Chartreuse.
Wiggins would slip a further place down the standings to third with the penultimate rider out on the course, Astana's Alexander Vinokourov, managing to get within 2 seconds of Boom's time.

Red hat 9 Crashing
Alright, here i go
it seems like 30-40 minutes of using Red Hat 9 and it crashes... Monitor goes blank... but if i pick up my phone... there is still a connection. So i restart the computer and the BIOS gives me 3 short beeps.
my machine is:
AMD XP2100 (1.7GHz)
GeForce 3 TI200 128MB
40GB Maxtor HDD
I thought it may have been the video driver or the Video Card... I uninstalled the Drive IA32, the problem was still there. So i borrowed an AGP card from my Friend... still the same problem... So i am back to the original card waiting for suggestions.
If anyone has any ideas I am always open to suggestions
If you need more info, tell me what you need and i'll see what i can do.
See if you have power management activated on your system. Sounds like the power management is shutting off your monitor and then isn't able to turn it back on when you move your mouse (do are moving your mouse, right?)
Shut off the power management and see if that helps.
Power management
Yes, Moving the mouse is first instint.
I am not where to go to check the power management.
I don't think that is the problem... because it happends when i am using the computer... (ie games)
but if you could tell me where to go to check the pwr management that would be great
I'm not on RH right now (am at work), so I couldn't tell you exactly - but the System Settings would be my best bet.
And since you're playing games when it happens, it sounds like a driver problem (or memory problem) of some sort. You might try installing new drivers for your vid card or cleaning the contacts on your RAM (w/an eraser).
Kernel problem
Ok, by reading help pages i figured out the problem.
The kernel (2.4.20-20.8) doesn't like the VIA KT400 chipsets on my Asus 8X7V mobo
causing a problem with the AGP slot. reasoning behind the 3 beeps.
So anyways.. i need to update the kernel. here is where you guys/gals coming.
I know which kernel i need... and have downloaded two of them
kernel-2.4.20-20.9.i386.rpm and
so which one do i use?
Maxtor 40 GB
GeForce 3 TI200 128mb
Asus 8X7V mobo, KT400 chips
if you need any other infomation about my pc let me know...
Kernel for Athlon XP ... AMD Athlon 4ever !!!
The better kernel for better performance for your computer should be kernel-2.4.XXX.athlon.rpm indeed ...
I'd better custom kernel by sources by your own (specifing CPU model, etc) and recompiling ...
If you want support to do it, please reply.
I don't know C or how to compile source yet. I am very new to linux.
Do you know where i can download a new kernel and which verson of 2.4.x i should get? or should i go with 2.5? I have 220.127.116.11-8 right now. I downloaded 18.104.22.168 but i haven't tried it yet.
I'll give it a try ... the worse thing is i'd have to reformat... again..
Re: compile
You absolutely do not need to reformat your system nor to be a C programmer, for rebuilding a new kernel, ...
rebuild kernel
I clicked on the link... and checked out 2.4.22. it is a patch i suppose.. but i don't know how to compile the source. i have downloaded it already. Do i just copy and paste it to an editor or a compiler? After that what do i have? (rpm?)
I told you i was new to linux
Re: rebuild kernel
Anyway you should do:
- make mrproper
- make xconfig (or make menuconfig : you configure all your kenel options, but you'd better "load configuration from file..." and get an older configuration, such as /boot/config-2.4.xxx and work onto it - please read documentation -)
- make dep && make clean && make bzImage && make modules && make modules_install
(... go having a breakfast ... ;-)
if everything goes fine with no errors ...
- make install
- reboot
Now you should have a new entry in your grub's choices (Red Hat Linux (2.4.22))
Hope this help :p

This application claims the benefit of U.S. Provisional Patent Application Ser. No. 60/775,225 for "Pen-Based Drawing Software" filed on Feb. 21, 2006 and U.S. Provisional Patent Application Ser. No. 60/853,839 filed on Oct. 24, 2006 for "Pen-Based 3D Drawing Software." The disclosures of the above applications are incorporated herein by reference.
Current drawing, photo editing and industrial design software requires manipulation with curve editing tools, which forces artists to work in terms of mathematical objects such as splines. Current 3D modeling software typically requires artists to understand, at least to some degree, the underlying mathematics and follow relatively complex technical procedures to create and manipulate 3D objects (e.g., 3D surface models).
Even for trained designers, it is a difficult task to draw a satisfactory freeform curve by applying only one pen stroke. Baudel, 7, 1994, "A Mark-Based Interaction Paradigm for Free-Hand Drawing," Proceedings of UIST 1994, ACM Press, 185-192) showed a method to partially modify an existing curve by overstretching on it, Bae, S.-H., Kim, W.-S., and Kwon, E.-S., 2003. Digital Styling for Designers: Sketch Emulation In Computer Environment," Lecture Notes in Computer Science (Proceedings of international Conference on Computational Science and its Applications 2003), 2689, 890-700 extracted a few simple element curves that automotive designers use generally, and suggested a method to get those curves as the weighted average of repetitive strokes.
To create a 3D curve from a 2D curve that the user draws, some assumptions or interface tricks are needed to infer the curve's depth information. The system of Cohen, J. M., Markosian, L., Zeleznik, B. C., Hughes, J. F., and Barzel, R., 1999, "An Interface for Sketching 3D Curves," Proceedings of I3D 1999, ACM Press, 17-22, creates 3D curves by having the user draw a curve first and then its shadow. In some systems the drawing order is flipped. (Grossman, T., Balakrishnan, R., Kurfenbach, G., Fitzmaurice, G., Khan, A., and Buxton, B., 2002, "Creating Principal 3D Curves with Digital Tape Drawing," Proceedings of CHI 2002, ACM Press, 121-128; Tsang, S., Balakrishnan, R., Singh, K., and Ranjan, A., 2004, "A Suggestive interface for Image Guided 3D Sketching," Proceedings of CHI 2004, ACM Press, 591-598) The user draws a curve on an orthographic plane, and then draws a second curve on the ruled surface that is extruded in the normal direction to the orthographic plane. Bae, S.-H., Kijima, R., and Kim, W. S., 2003, "Digital Styling for Designers: 3D Plane-Symmetric Freeform Curve Creation Using Sketch Interface," Lecture Notes in Computer Science (Proceedings of International Conference on Computational Science and its Applications 2003), 2889, 701-710, described a system to create symmetric 3D curves, if a user skilled in perspective drawing sketches a symmetric curve pair, the system samples 2D point pairs considering the vanishing point, and converts them Into 3D point pairs to reform a 3D point curve. Because most calculations are performed in 2D image space and the conversion from 2D to 3D is point-wise, the accuracy is not high and the resulting 3D point curve can be jagged. Karpenko, (X, Hughes, J. F., and Raskar, R., 2004, "Epipolar Methods for Multi-View Sketching," Proceedings of the 2004 EUROGRAPHICS Workshop on Sketch-Based Interfaces and Modeling, 167-173, attempted a multi-view curve sketch. It is conceptually obvious, but not easy to use because an intermediate planar curve created from a curve sketched on a first view is difficult for the user to correlate to the second view.
Geometric modeling is a highly interactive task that requires the user to perform frequent navigation and operations on geometric and graphical objects. Current commercial 3D modeling software provides complicated user interfaces having menus and tool pallets. The user needs to have a good understanding of underlying mathematics and has to follow technical operational procedure. Zeleznik, R. C., Herndon, K. P., and Hughes, J. F. 1998, "SKETCH: An Interface for Sketching 3D Scenes," Proceedings SIGGRAPH 96, ACM Press, 163-170 and Igarashi, T., Mafsuoka, S., and Tanaka, H., 1999, "Teddy: A Sketching Interface for 3D Freeform Design," Proceedings of ACM SIGGRAPH 99, ACM Press, 409-418, showed a new possibility of simple and intuitive user interfaces for geometric modeling by introducing pen gestures.
The most basic problem in gesture-based user interfaces is to distinguish command strokes from draw strokes. In the many publications, the command and draw modes are separated to avoid ambiguities of stroke interpretation. A common way is to use pen barrel buttons, keyboard buttons, and specialized mode switches. Some studies employed pen gestures such as the double tap (Moran, T. P., Chiu, P., and Van Melle, W., 1997. "Pen-Based interaction Techniques for Organizing Material on an Electronic Whiteboard," Proceedings of UIST 1997, ACM Press, 45-54); flick (Zeleznik, R. and Miller, T. 2006, "Fluid Inking: Augmenting the Medium of Free-Form Inking with Gestures," Proceedings of the 2006 Conference on Graphics Interface, ACM Press, 155-162); and press and hold (Buxton, W., 1990, "A Three-State Model of Graphical Input," Proceedings of IFIP Tc13 International Conference on Human-Computer Interaction, North-Holland, 449-456) Saund, E, and Lank, E., 2003, "Stylus input and Editing Without Prior Selection of Mode," Proceedings of UIST 2003, ACM Press, 213-216, suggested inference and user mediation. Ramos, G., Boulos, M., and Balakrishnan, R., 2004, "Pressure Widgets," Proceedings of CHI 2004, ACM Press, 487-494, and Tsang, S., Balakrishnan, R., Singh, K., and Ranjan, A., 2004, "A Suggestive Interface for Image Guided 3D Sketching," Proceedings of CHI 2004, ACM Press, 591-598, explored using pressure sensing to distinguish between gesture strokes and draw strokes.
Considering the complexity of geometric modeling, it is not possible to operate every function of a modeling system using only pen gestures. Too many gestures and complicated gesture grammar may confuse the user without providing hints about how to interact with the computer. Gesture-based interfaces are inherently not self-disclosed unlike conventional graphical user interfaces known as WIMP GUIs. On-screen menus such as the marking menus (Kurtenbach, G. and Buxton, W., 1993, "The Limits of Expert Performance Using Hierarchic Marking Menus," Proceedings of CHI 1993, ACM Press, 482-487), FlowMenu (Guimbreti�re, F, and Winograd, T., 2000, "FlowMenu: Combining Command, Text, and Data Entry," Proceedings of UIST 2000, ACM Press, 213-218), tracking menus (Fitzmaurice, G., Khan, A., Piek�, R., Buxton, B., and Kurtenbach, G., 2003, "Tracking Menus," Proceedings of UIST 2003, ACM Press, 71-79) can be a complement to gesture-based interfaces.
Rather than "chicken scratch" style sketches, professional automotive designers express shapes with simple controllable curves having a good flow by "drawing from the shoulder." Those curves generally have no inflection point or at most one. (Bae, S.-H., Kim, W.-S., and Kwon, E.-S., 2003, "Digital Styling for Designers: Sketch Emulation in Computer Environment," Lecture Notes in Computer Science (Proceedings of International Conference on Computational Science and its Applications 2003), 2669, 690-700) They draw these lines very light at first, and then darken them up when the lines form a satisfactory shape. (Taylor, T., and Hallett, L., 1996, "How to Draw Cars Like a Pro.," Motorbooks international) Curves having complicated convexity changes are created by connecting simple curves with smooth transitions. While sketching, they rotate paper from time to time to stay within an articulation comfort range. Drawing and paper rotation are subconsciously Integrated. (Fitzmaurice, G, W., Balakrishnan, R., Kurtenbach, G., and Buxton, B., 1999, "An Exploration into Supporting Artwork Orientation in the User Interface," Proceedings of CHI 1999, ACM Press, 187-174)
Automotive designers take considerable care in setting up an initial perspective frame and continuously try to keep their sketches in correct perspective and proportion. Vanishing points, horizon lines, ground plane, center plane, box representing the outside dimensions of the car, ellipses with axle lines are used to establish a perspective view. (Robertson, S., With The Hot Wheels™ Designers, 2004, "How to Draw Cars the Hot Wheels™ Way," MBI). Flipping paper and drawing on the back of the paper is a common technique to detect distortion and inaccuracy with a "fresh eye." Some designers work with an underlay of a computer-generated perspective grid with wheels, 3D rendered image of existing cars, or package drawings where key dimensions and engineering hard points are indicated. On the other hand, they sometimes exaggerate and distort perspective and proportion intentionally to Increase the appeal of particular aspects of a design (they called it "cheating").
Raster-type painting software allows designers to make the best use of their drawing skills. Furthermore, it provides many advantages that are not found in using traditional media including undoing actions, easy storing and retrieving results, working with unlimited layers and special digital effects. But, imperfect eye-hand coordination is a problem to some when using the standard graphics tablet devices that are not integrated with the display device physically. With no expense for undo, it increases the designer's tendency of expecting a "happy accident" of getting a satisfactory curve by just repeating a stroke and undo. Some software provides the canvas rotation mode that is invoked by pressing a button on the keyboard. However, most designers do not use the function and draw curves by twisting their head and body. As a result some designers feel they can not duplicate the quality of their paper strokes using a tablet.
In using painting programs, vector-type curves like NURBS curves are used as a supporting geometry that define snapping sweeps to control brushing or masks for brushing and gradation in a specified area. Creation of the snapping sweeps and masks require time-consuming, tedious manipulation of control points as in using vector illustration tools.
In an aspect, the present invention provides a pen-based drawing system to allow users, such as artists, graphic designers and illustrators, and the like, to create accurate curve models by sketching. A tool set implemented in software that runs on a computer system combines paper sketch metaphors and a minimalist gesture set. This tool set provides an environment where the artists can focus on the creative task at hand rather than the details of operating software.
In an aspect, a pen-based drawing system is provided that allows users to create and edit three dimensional ("3D") models by sketching.
In an aspect, a pen-based drawing system is provided that recognizes pen gestures for editing and navigation.
In an aspect, a pen-based drawing system is provided that recognizes pen gestures for commands having highest frequency without switching from a drawing mode and recognizes pen gestures for commands having higher frequency in a quasi-mode where a key on a keyboard or a button on a pen is held while the pen gesture is made. In an aspect, the commands having higher frequency that are recognized in the quasi-mode are canvas and camera control commands.
In an aspect, a pen-based drawing system is provided that recognizes pen gestures for commands having mid frequency with a check menu.
Referring to
Pen-based drawing system 100 includes a computer system 102 having a computer 104 with a display (such as a monitor or screen) 108 and an pen input device 108 coupled to computer 104. Computer system 102 may also illustratively have a keyboard 110 and a mouse 112 coupled thereto. Computer 104 may illustratively be a general purpose computer having components typically included in a general purpose computer, such as a CPU, memory, a hard drive, and the like. Computer 104 may illustratively be a personal computer, a notebook computer, a tablet PC, or a work station.
Pen input device 108 may illustratively have a pen stylus 114 (sometimes referred to herein as pen 114) and a sketch tablet 116 on which a user can "draw" using pen 114. Pen input device 108 captures the strokes drawn by a user on sketch tablet 116 using pen 114 and inputs them into computer 104. in an illustrative aspect, the curve model generation software is a Java application (J2SE™ 5.0, Java 3D™ 1.3.2, JOGL API), computer 104 is illustratively a desktop computer (Pentium� 4, 3.20 GHz, 3.00 GB RAM), and pen input device 108 is a WACOM Intuos� 3 graphics tablet (9″�12″) and/or a WACOM Intuos� 2 graphics tablet (12″�19″). It should be understood that pen input device 108 can be any device that captures strokes drawn by a user and inputs them into a computer.
Pen-based drawing system 100 includes curve model generation software that runs on computer 104 that allows a user to create curves (both 2D and 3D) by sketching using pen input device 108. It also allows the user to edit the curves and navigate using pen gestures, as described in more detail below. For example, in an aspect, a user creates a curve using multi-stroke vector curve creation, as described in more detail below, by repetitively sketching curve strokes on sketch tablet 116 using pen 114 that are input into computer system 102 by pen input device 108, and then instructing the computer system 102 to settle the plurality of curve strokes into a single curve.
The curve model generation software operating on computer system 102 takes the plurality of curve strokes input into computer system 102 and generates a curve model therefrom. It also recognizes pen gestures as commands. As used herein, the term "gesture" or "pen gesture" means a pen stroke or a pen motion that is recognized by the curve model generation software running on computer 104 as a command, such as an edit command or navigation command, as discussed in more detail below.
In an aspect, a sketch-based vector curve creation method is provided by combining the multi-stroke method (described below) with gesture-based curve editing, in an aspect, easy-to-use navigation techniques are provided so that designers can quickly search a 2D area to draw comfortably and a 3D view to model shape easily. In an aspect, a new algorithm for mirror symmetric 3D curve sketching is provided and a set of 3D curve sketch methods are implemented to give designers a chance to choose the best method depending on what they want to create. In an aspect, various perspective hints and engineering constraints are provided to help designers sketch easily. All the commands are classified in terms of frequency (Table 1). For the most frequent commands related to drawing, a small number of pen gestures are used to execute the commands without a mode change from the drawings mode in order to allow designers to stay focused on their creative work. In some cases the user's intention is clear, and the curve model generation software executes commands automatically to accelerate the work flow. For navigation that is also a frequent operation, a few motion gestures are used in the controlled quasi-modes invoked by pressing pen barrel buttons. For less frequent commands, such as changing 2D/3D and selecting a 3D curve creation method, the user pops up an on-screen menu and chooses a command. For infrequent commands, conventional menus are used.
The user then sketches a curve stroke on sketch tablet 116 with pen 114 (
In an aspect, the stroke vector curves are weighted when they are displayed at 208 with the last drawn stroke vector curve, such as stroke vector curve 402 in
In an aspect, the estimated settle curve is determined by using a weighted average of the stroke vector curves, with the last drawn stroke vector curve having the highest weight and the first drawn stroke vector curve having the lowest weight. The older stroke vector curves thus have less effect on the settle curve as the number of stroke vector curves increase. With reference to the example of
In an aspect, the estimated settle curve, such as estimated settle curve 404, is displayed in a different color than the stroke vector curves 400, 402 drawn by the user. This visual feedback distinguishes the estimated settle vector curve from the stroke vector curves the user has drawn to help the user to determine when to stop sketching and settle the stroke vector curves.
When the user commits to settle the stroke vector curves at 208, the user may do so by a keystroke on keyboard 110, such as by pressing the "5" key. With reference to
In an aspect, the user may settle the stroke vector curves by starting a distinct curve, such as distinct curve 700 shown in
In an aspect, the trajectory of pen 114 may be analyzed by the curve model generation software running on computer 104 to select the curve type, as illustrated in
With reference to
In an aspect, by giving variation to the shape of the scratch-out gestures, the user can perform different curve deleting operations with one pen gesture while still keeping a common metaphor for erasing.
In an aspect, a curve can be trimmed or partially deleted through the use of a partial curve "scratch-out gesture," which is a "scratch out" pen stroke as shown in
in an aspect, a curve can be completely deleted or erased through the use of a whole curve "scratch-out" gesture, as shown in
In an aspect, a model scratch out gesture is provided. When the model scratch out gesture is applied, all the objects on the canvas, which is displayed on display 106, are erased. The model scratch out gesture may illustratively be a whole curve scratch out gesture whose bounding box is bigger than a specified size, such as seventy-five percent of the size of the canvas displayed on display 106. The model scratch out gesture may also or alternatively be a whole curve scratch out gesture applied to an empty portion of the canvas.
in an aspect, a "dot" gesture is provided in an exemplary aspect for a plurality of functions such as for a model having a plurality of vector curves, including tying curves, creating common intersections, creating a corner fillet, or end-point snapping two or more curves. As described above, the dot gesture is a small and (almost) solid mark whose outer shape is circular.
In an aspect, the dot center gives reference to decide the connecting point. Thus, the user has control of the position and tangent condition when connecting two curves. For tangential concatenation of two curves, there exist several options about the position and slope of the resulting curve at the connecting point. According to an aspect, the earlier created curve ("C1") has a higher priority. The later created curve ("C2") is moved to C1 so that the resulting connection point ("P") of the two curves C1, C2 is the point on C1 ("P1") that is closest to the dot center, and the common slope at P is the tangent vector at P1 on C1, Conversely, in another aspect, the later created curve ("C2") is given the higher priority so that the resulting connection point P of the two curves C1, C2 is the point on C2 ("P2") closest to the dot center, and the common slope at P is the tangent vector at P2 on C2. In another aspect, both curves C1 and C2 get equal priority, thus setting P somewhere between C1 and C2.
With reference to
In an aspect, gesture based canvas and camera control, also referred to herein as navigation, is provided. As used herein, "navigation quasi-mode" means that the selected navigation is active while a key on the keyboard or button on the pen is held down by the user, but drawing mode is reverted to when the key or button is released by the user. As commonly understood, canvas control means rotating/panning or zooming (in or out) the image, but keeping the perspective from which the viewer views with the same view frustum, and camera control means changing the perspective from which the viewer views, that is, changing the view frustum. In an aspect, canvas control quasi-mode is selected prior to applying pen gestures, such as by holding down a key (e.g., the "shift" key) on keyboard 110, or holding down a button on pen 114. While holding down the key or button, the user applies a circular pen motion gesture 1801 to select rotation quasi-mode and a linear pen motion gesture 1803 to select zoom/pan/control rectangle quasi-mode. Once rotation quasi-mode is on, the user can continuously control rotation of the image clockwise or counterclockwise with movement of the pen 114. Similarly, once zoom/pan/control rectangle mode is on, the user can create a control rectangle, zoom the image in and out, and pan or drag image with movement of the pen 114.
To create a control rectangle, sometimes referred to as a "zoom box," the user applies the appropriate pen motion gesture to the desired portion of the image. In the illustrative example of
In the illustrative embodiment of
With reference to
Because the user defines the shape of a vector curve not by dragging its control points but by sketching it, how easily the user can find viewing conditions (Including 2D) affects not only work efficiency but also curve quality. Thus, it is important to provide the user with intuitive and easy-to-use navigation techniques driven by a pen, such as pen 114. In general, the total number of parameters related to viewing is 11 (6 for camera position and rotation, 5 for projection) (Michener, J. C., and Carlbom, I. B., 1980, Natural and Efficient Viewing Parameters In Computer Graphics," Proceedings of ACM SIGGRAPH 80, 14, 3, 238-245). Existing 3D modeling software lets the user control them with multi-button mouse and hotkey combinations. One prior art approach devised a special widget for viewing control. (Singh, K., Grimm, C., and Sudarsanam, N., "The IBar: A Perspective-Based Camera Widget," Proceedings of UIST 2004, ACM Press, 95-98. Singh et al.) It helps the user change perspective distortion of a 3D scene by directly modifying the angle of the receding lines in two-point perspective, in an aspect of the present disclosure, a natural viewing control interface for pen input is provided, which uses pen motion gestures in quasi-modes invoked with pen barrel buttons. It does not use complicated hotkey combinations or require knowledge of complicated viewing or camera parameters.
With reference to
The vertical linear pen motion gesture invokes the canvas zoom function (
The operations performed in the canvas control quasi-mode do not cause perspective change in the displayed image. They bring results similar to moving and rotating paper on the table, or enlarging or reducing the image size on paper using a copy machine. On the other hand, the operations defined in the camera control quasi-mode, Illustratively activated when the user holds down, for example, an upper pen barrel button (not shown) of pen 114 change the perspective and/or viewing direction-that is, if changes what is often referred to as the view frustum. They are based on the object-centric paradigm (Barrileaux, J., 2001, "3D User interfaces with Java 3D," Manning) where the camera is centered on an object and the viewpoint is rotated relative to the object. In accordance with an aspect of the present disclosure, the camera control gestures are interactional consistent with the canvas control gestures. The vertical linear motion pen gesture is used for camera perspective distortion (
Returning to canvas control and referring to
Some designers use the graphics tablet rotated to some degree, and may have difficulty applying vertical, horizontal, and diagonal linear motions. In an aspect of the present disclosure, transparent vertical and horizontal linear strips and a circular strip around the cross hair are displayed to orient the user lead them to apply correct motion gestures (
On-screen menus help the user to focus on the current task and enhance work flow by avoiding frequent round-trips between application data and GUIs. (Kurtenbach, G. and Buxton, W., 1993, "The Limits of Expert Performance Using Hierarchic Marking Menus;" Proceedings of CHI 1993, ACM Press, 482-487; Igarashi, T., Matsuoka, S., and Tanaka, R., 1999, "Teddy: A Sketching Interface for 3D Freeform Design," Proceedings of ACM SIGGRAPH 99, ACM Press, 409-418 (1999); Guimbreti�re, F. and Winograd, T., 2000, "FlowMenu: Combining Command, Text, and Data Entry," Proceedings of UIST 2000, ACM Press, 213-218 (2000); Fitzmaurice, G., Khan, A., Piek�, R., Buxton, B., and Kurtenbach, G., 2003, "Tracking Menus," Proceedings of UIST 2003, ACM Press, 71-79) in an aspect, an on-screen menu, called a check menu, is provided to execute commands which are used with moderate frequency in 2D/3D sketching. The check menu does not need the help of the non-preferred hand nor special buttons. It appears immediately where the user applies the check gesture, and allows the user to execute a command comfortably.
At any moment when there are no intermediate stroke curves to settle, the user can invoke the check menu by applying the check gesture (
The shape and location of the check menu consider the ergonomics of the user's wrist motion. The items of the check menu are arranged in an arc so that the user can reach each item with little movement. In an aspect, a different setting of the check menu is given to each user based on the handedness and the individual range in which the tip of pen 114 moves comfortably with the wrist anchored. The check menu appears near the invoking check gesture so that the middle choice is located where the check stroke ends. When selecting a menu item, the choice closest to the cusp of the check is executed.
In an aspect, the check menu is used in hierarchical menu structures and natural selection-action phrases. Hierarchical menu structures are described in Kurtenbach, G. and Buxton, W., 1993, "The Limits of Expert Performance Using Hierarchic Marking Menus," Proceedings of CHI 1993, ACM Press, 482-487; and natural selection-action phrases are described in Buxton, W., 1886, "Chunking and Phrasing and the Design of Human-Computer Dialogues," Proceedings of IFIP World Computer Congress on information Processing, North-Holland, 475-480.
In an aspect, the curve modeling generation software provides an integrated interface for creating 3D concept models. Various 3D curve sketch scenarios described below can be utilized with the basic interaction aspect described above.
With reference to
Referring generally to
In general, if is not possible to obtain a 3D curve from a single 2D curve sketch due to lack of depth information. One technique that has been used to create a 3D curve from a 2D curve is a technique known as "mirror symmetry." Bae, S. H.; Kijima, R.; and Kim, W. S.; 2003, "Digital Styling for Designers: 3D Plane-Symmetric Freeform Curve Creation Using Sketch Interface," Lecture Notes in Computer Science, Vol. 2669 (Proceedings of ICCSA 2003) (pp. 701-710) describes the basic concepts of the mirror-symmetric 3D curve creation method, and is incorporated by reference herein in its entirety. In an aspect, the principle of the symmetric 3D curve sketch is reinterpreted with epipolar geometry (Faugeras, O., and Luong, Q. T.; 2001, "The Geometry of Multiple Images," The MIT Press) to provide a new robust mirror symmetry algorithm (described below) based on the foregoing along with an easy-to-use interaction scenario, illustratively implemented in the curve model generation software.
With reference to
The mirror-symmetric 3D curve sketch is a kind of view dependent sketch method. Therefore, if a first 2D curve is settled, the current perspective view freezes until a second 2D curve is determined and the resulting 3D curves are created (with canvas control (zoom, pan, rotate) still available).
With reference to
The user sketches the first 2D curve 2200 as described above,
With reference to
This mirror symmetric 3D sketch algorithm can be thought of a special type of the epipolar method of multi-view sketch. (Karpenko, O., Hughes, J. F., and Raskar, R., 2004, "Epipolar Methods for Multi-View Sketching," Proceedings of the 2004 EUROGRAPHICS Workshop on Sketch-Based Interfaces and Modeling, pp. 187-173). With reference to
In every 3D curve sketch method based on epipolar geometry, the inference ambiguity and noise sensitivity increase as the two view vectors become parallel. Thus, in using the above discussed method, a user should avoid putting eye position near mirror plane or looking at the mirror plane perpendicularly to get good results.
It is important that designers or users of drawing or sketching systems be able to use their perspective drawing skill. (Taylor, T., and Hallett, L., 1996, "How to Draw Cars Like a Pro," Motorbooks International; Robertson, S., With The Hot Wheels™ Designers, 2004, "How to Draw Cars the Hot Wheels™ Way, MBI; Chelsea, D., 1997, "Perspective! For Comic Book Artist," Watson-Guptill). In an aspect, the 3D sketching technique provided by the curve model generation software allows designers, such as automotive designers, not only to utilize their perspective drawing skill, but also to continue to create several 3D curves from a single view (
In an aspect of the present invention, creation of 3D curves on orthographic planes is provided. A prior art system of creates a 3D planar curve by projecting the user's 20 sketch onto a movable 3D orthographic plane, (Tsang, S., Balakrishnan, R., Singh, K., and Ranjan, A., 2004, "A Suggestive interface for Image Guided 3D Sketching," Proceedings of CHI 2004, ACM Press, 591-598.) in an aspect of the present invention, the user defines an orthographic sketch plane by using pen gestures, and sketches 3D vector curves (illustratively, 3D NURBS curves) on it as 2D sketch strokes as described above. With reference to
It is known to use ruled surfaces as a construction aids on which 2D curve input is projected for creating non-planar 3D curves. (Grossman, T., Balakrishnan, R., Kurtenbach, G., Fitzmaurice, G., Khan, A., and Buxton, B., 2002, "Creating Principal 3D Curves with Digital Tape Drawing," Proceedings of CHI 2002, ACM Press, 121-128; Tsang, S., Balakrishnan, R., Singh, K., and Ranjan, A., 2004, "A Suggestive Interface for Image Guided 3D Sketching," Proceedings of CHI 2004, ACM Press, 591-598) The underlying principle is the same as the shadow sketch described in Cohen, J. M., Markossan, L, Zeleznik, R. C., Hughes, J. F., and Barzel, R., 1999, "An Interface for Sketching 3D Curves," Proceedings of I3D 1999, ACM Press, 17-22, but it has some, benefits. The user can create many 3D curves on ruled surfaces, and change a view appropriate for different curves.
With reference to
With reference to
In an aspect, the curve editing techniques described above are used for 3D curve editing, 3D curve intersection tightening and end-point snapping by using the dot gesture. 3D curve trimming and deleting using the scratch-out gesture are shown in
For 3D curve editing, 3D distance and 3D angle should be employed. The fog effect (described above) is used that helps the user estimate the 3D gap between the 3D curves that are displayed overlapped. The navigation interface described above also plays an important role in 3D curve editing. When the users curve editing gesture is applied, among the curves displayed under the gesture strokes, only those closest to the viewpoint within the specified 3D distance tolerance are considered for the corresponding editing operation. In 3D, the application of the dot gesture (for curve tightening) on even only two curves is meaningful because they may be apart even if they appear intersected with each other from a certain viewpoint.
In general, it is not easy to create a complicated 3D curve by using 3D curve sketch methods. To match two 2D curves sketched from different viewpoints is difficult or sometimes impossible, (Cohen, J. M., Markosian, L, Zeleznik, R. C., Hughes, J. F., and Barzel, R., 1999, "An interface for Sketching 3D Curves," Proceedings of I3D 1999, ACM Press, 17-22; Karpenko, Q., Hughes, J. F., and Raskar, R., 2004, "Epipolar Methods for Multi-View Sketching," Proceedings of the 2004 EUROGRAPHICS Workshop on Sketch-Based Interfaces and Modeling, 187-173) However in accordance with above described aspects of the present invention, curve matching is relatively easy because the user sketches only simple 3D curves to be used for building a complex 3D form later.
In the ideation stage of the early design process, such as the design of automotive vehicles, the designer creates a lot of thumbnail sketches to conceive new design ideas and study their 3D forms (e.g., how a sketch from a view can be seen from different views, how many sketches from multiple views can be combined, etc.) In an aspect of the 3D modeling workflow, the user creates temporary thumbnail sketches in the middle of a 3D curve sketch while using existing 3D curves as a 2D sketch underlay, and in turn creates 3D curves by using the thumbnail sketches as references. This allows the user to not only eliminate unnecessary thumbnail sketches to explore design ideas in 3D, but also obtain inspiration from the intermediate 3D curves and 2D sketches. Further, the 3D digital models can be used for other design activities such as engineering studies, bench marking, and component packaging from very early stages of the design process. This digitally organized design process allows simplification of the design iteration process and reduction of the design life cycle (the length of time required for the design process).
The 3D aspect may illustratively use a unified pen gesture-based interface for both canvas and camera control, similar to that described above. With reference to
The gesture based canvas/camera control in accordance with the above provides an intuitive and consistent gesture convention so that users need not remember complex hot-key/button combinations. This enhances the drawing and design ability as it reduces (if not eliminates) the interference with the drawing process caused by drawing program user interfaces that use hot-key/button combinations. The mode change among drawing, canvas control, and camera control is done by holding down appropriate buttons on the drawing pen stylus 114 and/or keys on the computer keyboard 110 when changing from drawing mode to either canvas control quasi-mode or camera control quasi-mode. Releasing the button or key results in return to the drawing mode, Quasi-mode indicators are illustratively shown on the screen 106 to give visual feedback of the current quasi-mode. For example, as illustratively shown in
The 3D aspect illustratively also uses gesture based curve editing similar to that described above.
The description of the invention is merely exemplary in nature and, thus, variations that do not depart from the gist of the invention are intended to be within the scope of the invention. Such variations are not to be regarded as a departure from the spirit and scope of the invention.

'Swing Copters' update makes the game playable
Last week when I reviewed Swing Copters, I complained about the inane difficulty level that not just made the game challenging but simply unplayable. It seems I wasn't the only one though, as a lot of people uninstalled the game minutes after installing it due to the difficulty level.
That seems to have been a good enough wake up call for the developer, who has released an update that makes the game easier and actually playable. Read more »

medical apparatus for emergency hemostasis
Hemostasis Pad A-T is a medical apparatus for emergency hemostasis with an injury with massive bleeding which is very hard to be done direct pressure hemostasis.
(1)Emergency Rapid Hemostasis
This product is an emergency hemostasis pad, which can concentrate the red blood cells in the blood, and is able to perform more rapid hemostasis than gauze.
(2)Brief Hemostasis
It is enough to stick the non-cotton face of this product on the bleeding site for hemostasis. This is effective even though anyone use briefly. OK with bandage!OK with taping!
(3)Prevention of Secondary Infection
Because olefin film is used as a back sheet, the reliever does not touch the body fluid of injured persons and this enable to minimize the possibility of secondary infection.
(4)Nature-oriented Safe Product
There is no worry of side effect of this product, because natural cotton pulp is used but no drugs are employed. Besides, the blood does not reach the back of this product and the users can be relaxed. (It is also effective to prevent the death by shock.)
(5)Hemostasis Pad A-T is not made to heal the wound
Hemostasis Pad A-T is a product to perform hemostasis but not to heal the wound itself. Also, pressure of the injured site is necessary to complete hemostasis.
Hemostasis Pad A-T separates serum from blood, and absorbs it into inside of pad. Then congealed can be developed much faster.
We have selection of size-L, size-M and size-S, total 3 Pad sizes.
L: 26cm×18cm
M: 18cm×13cm
S: 13cm×10.5cm
There are sterile gloves and tapes also contained in each pack.

browns higherup are a bunch of loosers.they are no better than weeden.
Originally written on Waiting For Next Year | Last updated 3/28/13
PITTSBURGH - OCTOBER 17: Colt McCoy of the Cleveland Browns makes a pass against the Pittsburgh Steelers during the game on October 17, 2010 at Heinz Field in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. (Photo by Jared Wickerham/Getty Images)
Despite the fact that the Cleveland Browns signed Jason Campbell, the Browns apparently will not cut loose Colt McCoy, at least not yet. Brandon Weeden will start the off-season at the top of the depth chart, but the Browns are saying right now that the best players will play. If Colt McCoy is the best quarterback, he'll be the starting quarterback for the Cleveland Browns. At least that's the message of Browns CEO Joe Banner as he makes the rounds on both ESPNCleveland and 92.3 The Fan this morning. That's a pretty good stance on a quarterback – even one with a suspect future – who makes less than $3 million like Colt McCoy. Despite the fact that many Browns fans continue to tell me Colt McCoy has no trade value, as long as he has a chance to put some pre-season performances together, there's always a chance. Or maybe Colt McCoy pulls off a miraculous feat and wins the starting quarterback job. Not at all likely, and the Browns aren't likely to give McCoy much better a chance to win the job than Pat Shurmur and company did a year ago as they anointed Brandon Weeden. Now about Jason Campbell… [Related: Cleveland Browns current cap space $28.7 million]
4 Comments:
Who cares what Joe Banner AKA as DR. NO says. The Browns continue the musical chairs game and are a joke because of this.
Everyone knows McCoy will have a great camp and preseason(False hopes)Regular season is where he will actually look bad and now he's prone to injury and concussions. Means a messy year for the Browns at quarteback.
Mr Banner needs to let Chud do his job that said I hope Colt gets a true shot at competing for the job.

Running Beach to Bay? Start training today
CORPUS CHRISTI - If you want to be part of the biggest running event in Corpus Christi, it's time to start planning.
The May 19 Beach to Bay Relay Marathon already is more than 40 percent full, and the run's ever-growing popularity has led organizers to cap the number of teams at 2,500.
"We just can't find exchange point locations big enough to handle the number of people," said Race Director Doug McBee. "It's like a bulging sardine can as it is. We're letting people know now so they're not disappointed later."
With 15,000 runners total, six per team, that's still a lot of fun for a lot of people. It also means a lot of community benefit. Beach to Bay is the major fundraiser of the Corpus Christi Roadrunners, which last year donated more than $90,000 to local charities and community groups.
Signing up for Beach to Bay is only the first step: Now also is the time to start training. Three months can go by in a flash, especially when you're on the "I'll start training next week" program. I can vouch for that because I've been there.
Luckily, quality free training plans are easy to find online at sites such as halhigdon.com. A plan is especially useful because it breaks the preparation into manageable chunks, and entering workouts and goals on your calendar helps make them reality. Training plans are available by level, so whether your goal is to win your division, to arrive at the post-party with stories of how many people you passed or just to try not to walk, there's an option for you.
Most Beach to Bay legs average about four and a half miles, so a good strategy is to train for an 8K, which is just under five miles. If you're running the first leg, which is the shortest at 3.4 miles, you can get away with a 5K training plan. Training plans are generally eight weeks, so mark your calendar for March 25. Before that, though, start running at least three days a week so you're ready to launch into the training without problem.
Whether you want to compete, to honor military personnel on Armed Forces Day, to party, or simply to get fit for the summer, sign up now and start training. Don't miss out on our city's signature running event.
- Kiwanis Club Beach Dash 10K run, 5K run and 2-mile walk: 8 a.m. Saturday; Horace Caldwell Pier, Port Aransas.
- Goodwill 5K Spring Sun Run and Walk: 7:30 a.m. March 3; Heritage Park.
- Whooping crane Strut 10K run, 5K run and 2-mile walk: 8 a.m. March 10, Rockport Beach Park.

"This card had a good contrast to the invitation with the golden dots. They helped make everything sound the same as the invitation while keeping it short and sweet. Again, simple elegance!"
"The card turned out great. I think if there were better directions with the layout and design options included in the details of the product, it would be better.:)"
"I am having a cruise wedding so the traditional RSVP didnt work for me. Wedding paper divas went above and beyond to make the RSVP perfect! I had a lot of requests and the exceeded my expectations! Worth every penny!"
"They came out perfect. I had asked them if they could take the food part off and make the accepts and decline bigger and centered. They got back to me the next day and sent me a proof of it centered and bigger font. I loved it and I also got it within a week after proof reading it."
"Got the designer to completely change the format, add a place for email addresses, and delete the dreded M that signafies where we all know to add our name... except when you're name starts with Dr. or Rev. She helped turn this old style response card (with a beautiful design) into a modern looking RSVP ! I Absolutely love it!"

Wait what, something is supposed to go here?
Hi I'm Jon. I've seen some of my friends have success with the online thing so I figured I'd give it a try. I'm pretty much at this point in life where I'm ready to settle down. I've moved 6 times in the past 5 years thanks to work but I'm here in San Antonio for the next few years. I'm looking for someone who will be my partner in crime, and go be adventurous. I'm not from San Antonio and I'm looking for someone to explore the city with. I'm pretty open to most women but I'm big into fitness. Definitely looking for a girl who can keep up or better yet out run me. Always looking for that challenge. I have a dog who's been my traveling companion for the past 2 years and he's a lot more adorable than I am. If you want to get things started, don't hesitate and message me. I like a girl who takes some initiative and knows what she wants.

Logitech Cordless Rumblepad 2 Vibration Feedback Gamepad - PC
4 out of 5
100 hours of battery life, sturdy in design, almost identical to a ps2 controller
Wires are a pain aren't they? Logitech therefore has developed what it sees as a solution: wireless gaming peripherals. With the PC slowly but surely moving into the living room, Logitech is hoping that you will start playing more console-styled games. With this in mind it has produced a wireless gamepad to be used with the PC.
Styled on a PlayStation 2 controller, the unit is study and well made. Proportions are well-sized to fit into your hand and the finish offers plenty of grip. The controller itself offers D-pad, four buttons and two analogue sticks for controlling. On the top of the controller there are four shoulder buttons - again identical to a PS2 controller's placing.
The gamepad is rumble enabled although in the test games we played it didn't feel that rumbling. Software included in the box alongside the drivers included Gamespy and Roger Wilco for multiplayer gaming.

Paddling a 16-year-old giirl at school: is everyone stupid here?
View Single Post

Out there, somewhere...
Location: Kansas City
Re: Paddling a 16-year-old giirl at school: is everyone stupid here?
Word. Taking a "beating like a man" is turning around and defending yourself. Interesting to note that the girl and mother seeming "okay" with the spanking itself seems to be a variation on "battered-wife syndrome."
Now I
reasonable see "a" need to maybe spank a grade-school aged kid. I'm not sure on where the line is drawn on disciplining a child but I'm pretty sure it'd be before middle-school and certainly before freaking-HIGH SCHOOL.
This girl is 16 years old. Legally an adult for many purposes in areas of the country. From my understanding she was given a
swat with a paddle that left her with welts and bruises and the inability to sleep on or otherwise use her behind for more than a day. She was given this swat by an adult
In what universe is this even
Again, sure, I could see smacking a grade-school child as for young enough kids with little grasp of discipline that can be the only way to get a message across. For a more mature person and they have to choose between the loss of free-time (something that means something to them) with detention or a swat on the ass, sure'll they'll take the latter as it means nothing.
My parents stopped spanking me when I found the concept and experience more
than meaningful to change my behavior. That was probably in 4th grade at the latest.
This whole thing is messed up and the more messed up part in the initial aftermath of it the school's reaction was simply to alter the "no cross-gender spankings" thing which seemed to be the only real problem the mother had with it.
And she didn't even have a problem with it because her teenage daughter was spanked by a
because it could have sexual implications for either (or both) party/parties (because, yes, the girl is conventionally cute) but simply because a man is stronger and could do more damage with a single hit than a woman potentially could.
Again, WTF Texas?!
Just because it's futuristic doesn't mean it's practical.

Michael Shields Memorial Inshore Open to be held Sept. 28-29
JENSEN BEACH - The 4th Annual Michael Shields Memorial Inshore Open will be held Sept. 28-29 at the River Palms Cottages & Fish Camp in Jensen Beach.
The Open is held each September to raise critically-needed funds that support operations at the Boys & Girls Clubs of Martin County. Open to both children and adults, it is the largest inshore fishing tournament along the Treasure Coast.
"This event is near and dear to me as not only does it benefit the clubs, it was named for a good kid and a Florida native who loved to fish," said Jade Smith, who is co-chairing the event this year with Shaun Plymale. "We're expecting a great turnout and we know everyone will enjoy themselves and help us raise money for the Clubs."
The Open is named after longtime Martin County resident Michael Shields, who died at the age of 23 from bone cancer. It follows a catch and release format, with separate categories for snook, tarpon, trout, and redfish.
In addition to the fishing tournament, the two-day event will feature a festive Captain's Party on Friday evening for adults 21 and older that includes an open bar provided by Charlie's Neighborhood Bar & Grill and a dinner catered by Chef Mark Muller.
Then on Saturday, there will be an awards BBQ and a fishing clinic for club members and children of registered anglers.
All events are included in a $100 registration fee. For those wish to only attend the Captain's Party, tickets are $50 per person in advance or $75 at the door.
The committee's fundraising goal this year is $60,000, with most of those funds allocated for membership scholarships, ensuring that children and teens who wish to attend the Boys & Girls Clubs of Martin County can do so, regardless of their family's ability to pay. Funding will support other critical needs, including field trips, club T-shirts, and the comprehensive teen program known as The Club.
The 2012 Committee is: Jade Smith (Co-Chair), Shaun Plymale (Co-Chair), Melissa Burke, Mat Churchey, Jody Collings, James Ferraro, Nina Ferraro, RJ Ferraro, Sarah Franklin, Dawn Greenlees, Karen Hester, Chris Higgins, Todd Kawecki, Amanda Kawecki, Matt Key, Bob Mark, Jeremy Neff, Vanessa Neff, Sooky Shields, Steven Shields, Rachel Snyder, Rufus Wakeman, Michael Weinberg, Jaime Williams, Tanya Windecker, Bob Zaccheo, Katie Zaccheo and Sandie Zeigler.
