The Mirror of Yoga is a detailed overview of the rich teachings and sutras that inform the many schools of yoga. With great depth and clarity, Richard Freeman describes the various styles and schools of yoga; explains the Upanishads and Sankhya philosophy; and discusses the role of the guru, the practices of chanting and meditation, and the imperative to serve others. He gives clear explanations of the Yoga Sutra of Pantanjali, of the eight limbs of ashtanga yoga, and of the process and purpose of hatha yoga. All of this is applied to the actual practice, giving the reader the tools to digest and apply this wealth of information. Looking back five thousand years to early texts, Freeman observes how the living roots of yoga philosophy have grown into many schools, techniques, and philosophies that are united by a vast, interpenetrating "matrix." This matrix holds the key to understanding yoga's full depth and greater purpose. He shows that all the styles, traditions, and practices are interconnected and contain each other. Ultimately all forms of yoga are concerned with freeing us from the never-ending quest of the ego-mind to reduce everything to theories. The various yoga disciplines are designed to help us see things as they really are in the present moment and thereby to give us a direct experience of the deepest truth about ourselves and the whole of being.

3 pictures should be a minimal requirement... there's always 1 good one, 1 bad one, and 1 that shows what you really look like =)
I'm a lot of things wrapped into one. I love life and all it has to offer. I love adrenaline rushes, genuine people, the great outdoors, intelligent conversations, a great sense of humor, music, taking risks, doing new things. The excitement of spontaneity is addictive and enjoyable. I take each moment and each day as it comes because you never know what tomorrow holds. I will always choose to see the cloud?s silver lining, color a gray area, and take the opportunity to dance in the rain. I am family-oriented and try my best everyday to put God first, trust in him, and better myself. I pride myself on acknowledging how I can grow more tomorrow, and doing it. "Mr. Right", to me, has always been someone who enjoys nature, health conscious, and has an appreciation for fine arts, has a great sense of humor, will be open to deep/intellectual conversation, is open-minded, genuine, humble, patient, and kind. I don't think a match is comparable to a checklist nor do I think we have to be the same... I think when you find the right person... the inside counts and the checks on the list are bonuses. I am looking for someone who is positive and fun to share some excitement with. I am ultimately looking for someone to share my life with. I am not looking to waste my time with anyone who is sleeping around or expects that of me. I am on Match to find one person, not to date as many men as possible. I totally dedicate myself to one man at a time and I want someone who will do the same for me. A few things I DO NOT LIKE: Arrogance, laziness, cynicism, gossip, wearing pj's in public, people that don't have a 'filter'.

Time-Lapse Video of Animation Setup
Feb 11th
Posted by Anna in Animations
We made a stop-motion animation yesterday—coming soon! Maureen had the foresight to shoot a time-lapse video as we were setting up and beginning to animate.
This was just the start of our production—about three hours of animating followed. Many more nails were bitten along the way. But I think it's going to turn out cute!

Valentine's Day is coming up, and you know what would really make your sweetheart swoon? That's right, a tiny anthropomorphic plant made of yarn. This itty-bitty rose knits up in an hour or less, so you can dole out the love all over the office or make a mini bouquet for your one and only.
Techniques included I-cord and knitting in the round on double-pointed needles. Fingering-weight yarn is recommended, but just about any yarn with corresponding needle size will work great.

Two Fave New Apps: Monument Valley and Petting Zoo
Jan 29th
Posted by Anna in Played Things
It's been a long time since I talked about something besides knitting on this blog, so let me tell you about two apps that have been making my iPhone fun lately!
The first is the puzzle game Monument Valley, which is an all-around beautiful experience. You play a silent little princess navigating a surreal landscape of Escher-like towers and blocks that work in mysterious ways.
The mechanics of it reminded me a little bit of the game Fez, but Monument Valley differs greatly in its approachability and ease: the puzzles start without the delay of a boring tutorial, and build in difficulty to something challenging but not frustratingly so. It's a game that I think has a calming effect on most people, which is something I always appreciate my phone doing. Really, I enjoyed Monument Valley so much that I didn't want to "waste" it by playing it while waiting in line at the grocery store. I played it at the end of the day when I could let myself get drawn in by its strange little world.
The other app I'm digging lately was recommended to me by Kay Gardiner of Mason Dixon Knitting, of all people.
It's called Petting Zoo, and it's an "interactive picture book" by Christoph Niemann, the illustrator responsible for some amazing features on the New York Times website, among other things. I suppose the primary audience for this app is young children, but I'm not ashamed to say that I find it delightful as an adult. Its simple concept: line drawings of animals that you poke and prod to make them respond in amusingly elastic ways. The actions start with simple concepts, like "pet the stretchy dog", then get gradually more surreal and unexpected. (The melting panda is a favorite of mine.)
I'm enjoying this app so much that I've been using it sparingly, trying to delay the end (which I haven't seen yet) as long as possible. I'm looking forward to sharing it with my 3-year-old niece the next time I see her, but in the meantime I'm happy to enjoy it as a 33-year-old.
Both of these apps cost money, but are extremely worth it. Oh, and why am I talking to Kay Gardiner about apps? Because I was telling her I was thinking about making one. How fun would that be???
Bonnie's Rainbow of Frogs
Jan 26th
Posted by Anna in Mochimochi Friends
If you've been visiting this blog for a long time, you know what these colorful tiny frogs are all about!
For the past four years, Bonnie of Catharticink has made it a tradition to knit a hand-dyed spectrum of tiny mochis in the colder months—she started with a torrent of snowmen, then followed that with a zipper of Santas, a cloud of bats, and a bunch of birds.
So every year now when it starts getting cold, I start wondering if another brightly-hued herd is on its way to help cheer things up. As you can see, Bonnie really came through with this flotilla of frog gins. They even appear to be forming molecules!
Or they can just be a high-fiber froggie snack.
Bonnie's beautifully shot groupings have really been a big inspiration to me over the past few years. In fact, I'm working on some soft sculptures right this moment that are heavily inspired by what she has done with this annual series. (More on that a bit later.)
I spotted Bonnie's frogs in the Mochimochi Friends Flickr group, which is where I find a lot of the knits that I share here. If you've taken photos of your toys made from Mochimochi Land patterns, please share them in the group!
Bat Buddies for Biodiversity
Jan 22nd
Posted by Anna in Mochimochi Friends
This is making my week: The Biodiversity Research Institute, a nonprofit organization in Portland, Maine, that conducts research and promotes awareness about wildlife conservation, is raising funds by selling hand-knitted bats made from my Boo the Bat pattern!
Because they are scientifically-minded people, BRI's Bat Buddies are available as three different species: Northern Long-eared bat, Red bat, and the Gray bat. Let's learn more about them with the descriptions provided on their website!
Northern Long-eared Bat
The Northern Long-eared bat is a medium-sized bat distinguished by its long ears. Medium to dark brown fur covers its back while its underside is tawny to pale-brown. This species is one that is most impacted the White-nose Syndrome and has recently been proposed for listing as an endangered species.
Gray Bat
The Gray bat is a small bat with grayish-brown fur. It is approximately 5 inches long with a wingspan of 11-13 inches. Gray bats live in caves year round with only rare occurrences outside of caves. They are a federally endangered species mainly due to human disturbance and habitat loss. However, the gray bat population has also been affected by White-nose Syndrome.
Red Bat
The Red bat is a medium-sized bat, about 4-5 inches long, with reddish-orange fur. Adult males are more brightly colored, while females and juveniles are more grayish. The fur of both sexes may be tipped white, giving this bat a frosty appearance. They are known as a "tree bat" and can usually be found roosting in the foliage of trees and shrubs. Like other tree bats, they will migrate from the northern part of its range to the southern part of its range for the winter. The Red bat is not currently listed as endangered or threatened.
The Bat Buddies are available for $20 each and are knitted to order by Catherine of Laughing Lab Designs. I hope they prove a popular item!
I love it when knitters use my patterns to raise funds for a good cause. If you have a fundraising project like this that you'd like to do, just get in touch at info [at] mochimochiland [dot] com.
Group Show: WonderWomen at University of Minnesota
Jan 22nd
Posted by Anna in Exhibitions
As it happens, I have work in another group show that starts with a W this month!
WonderWomen, at the University of Minnesota's Katherine E. Nash Gallery, is a show of works by female artists who are influenced by comics and other pop culture. I sent them some animations from the past year and this assortment of tiny mochis.
But I'm burying the lede here: I'm in a group show that also contains work by Alison Bechdel! Along with others whose work I admire, and others whose work I look forward to exploring. Here's a closer look at the show information:
January 20 – February 14, 2015
Katherine E. Nash Gallery
405 21st Avenue South
Minneapolis, MN 55455

Customer Reviews of Xbox 360 Controller for Windows XP
Works great as a game controller5/11/2010
There are many options out there, but I decided to choose this one because of the placement of the analog sticks and how comfortable it fits in the hands. Microsoft made a huge improvement in the controller from the original xbox version. I would have picked up a Sony controller, but they do not work with Windows. Most games recognize the Xbox360 controller, so all the buttons map out correctly.
Works GREAT!5/8/2009
I bought this controller to play Deer Hunter Tournament. The game has the Games for Windows logo on it. All I did was go to Microsoft and download the drivers for the controller for Vista 64. I didnt even use the disk that came with it. I pluged in the controller and it works perfectly I had to do nothing else. GREAT controller, I couldnt be HAPPIER!
Nice product1/8/2009
The controller is nice but my shipment was bit late.
Works well small learning curve8/19/2008
The control works very well and was recognized on my vista system for halo 3 with ease. You will need to set up a game (like halo 3) to register a hand controller so that it can be recognized by the game. Not difficult to do this at all. The most tedious feature of this controller is that you have to manually assign the action of each controller item. I would be prepared in knowing exactly what button on the control that i would want for each action in the game i was going to play prior to setting it up. Once that is done, it has been very reliable and easy to use.
Great controller and super fast shipping6/22/2007
I've been wanting this product for quite awhile. So I bought it and 2 days later its here! Quite fast for budget shipping. Great job Buy.com!
Works Great in LInux and WIndows2/15/2007
I bought this for use in Linux and Windows. Works great. I use it for Marvel Alliance in Windows and it works perfectly with it. Plus, when I visit friends with Xbox 360's, I'll be able to use my own controller. Linux was easy to setup, just compiled the driver from the Gentoo wiki on my Ubuntu box, and away I went.
Good gamepad2/15/2007
I like the quality of this gamepad, really solid built. The cord tangles, but that doesn't mean much. For anyone returning this controller, DON'T! You need to also buy this program: http://www.pinnaclegameprofiler.com I've been playing Prey, FEAR, etc all on my PC thanks to this program and the free online profiles.1 Helpful | 0 Not Helpful
XBOX wired controller2/14/2007
Excellent service, fast shipping
This is a good controller / not for Battlefield 211/31/2007
This controller works great, but unfortunately this controller does not work with Battlefield 2142. I called EA to confirm this, and it will not work with the game no matter what. They even admitted that no controller will work for Battlefield 2142. Now I will be returning the product for a refund because that is the sole reason I bought this controller. To bad EA does not care about the quality of their games.0 Helpful | 1 Not Helpful
Bad choice for Logitech converts playing Madden12/18/2006
I decided to try this game controller after years of using a Logitech dual pad controller on my PC. I got frustrated with the Logitech b/c they got flakey after a year of casual use. I use the controller only to play Madden NFL. First off, buttons are in different orientation. Although Madden lets you re-assign in the game, the changes don't apply everywhere and it gets uber-confusing. Most frustrating is that the 'Hit stick' buttons are so sensitive that everytime you try to knock the stick left or right to put on a hit, you end up pushing the button instead, and the game haults!! MEGA frustrating. I will probably go back to the logitech again.
Works Great!10/16/2006
The controller works great. I have been using it with NHL 07 and it has worked flawlessly. Of course, Buy.com gets part of the credit. Lighting fast shipping and a price that was second to none.
Great Controller!9/27/2006
The X-box controller for the computer worked great!! I bought it for my son and he was playing games on the computer in no time at all. He loves it!!

The French star will perform at the Edinburgh International Festival as well as at the Barbican in London - where she starred in Mademoiselle Julie two years ago.
Binoche, who took the best supporting actress Oscar for The English Patient in 1997, will appear in the new production next year. She made her London debut in 1998, appearing at London's Almeida Theatre in the play Naked and in 2008 she was in a dance production choreographed by Akram Khan at the National Theatre.
It will be directed by Belgian Ivo van Hove, who will present a new translation by poet Anne Carson.
Van Hove said: "While searching for a play for our first collaboration, Juliette and I very quickly agreed that Antigone would be the right artistic challenge for both of us. The play itself has the explosiveness of a nuclear bomb.
"It deals with all possible relationships: man against woman, political against ethical leadership, the laws of society against the right of the individual, family and its unbreakable blood ties."
Toni Racklin, the Barbican's head of theatre, said: "We are thrilled to be presenting this new production here at the Barbican and taking it to stages around the world. It illustrates how a major new production can be realised through our strong relationships with global partners."

Little Browser Grows Up: Firefox at Five
November 9, 2004 was when Firefox was officially born. A look back on its fifth birthday.
Five years ago, Mozilla placed a full-page ad in the New York Times, which required more than $250,000 in donations, the donor names comprising the tiny print behind the Firefox logo. The ad ended up becoming burned indelibly into the minds of many users and showed what the community and the open source concept was capable of.
Firefox had emerged from the Mozilla project that combined a whole bundle of programs (browser, email program, editor and news reader) into one Mozilla Suite. As a separate program, the browser was to be significantly faster to start up and more efficient in delivering webpages.
Meanwhile Firefox has become a well established browser and is no longer the only competitor to Microsoft's Internet Explorer market leader. Firefox wanted to win back some of the market share that Microsoft gained by coupling its operating system with that of Netscape. Firefox 1.0 was also positioning itself against Apple's Safari browser.
According to Marketshare.hitslink.com, worldwide Firefox market share is currently at 24%, as compared to Internet Explorer's 65%, but growing. Chrome, Safari and Opera are each under 5% market share. Best wishes, Firefox, may you never become fat and lazy with age!

text: No recent wiki edits to this page. OverviewThe first game to be released by Red Crest Studios, Hyper Button is a minigame collection inspired by older arcade games. The game was released for the Xbox Live Indie Game marketplace on releasedate for 80 Microsoft points (the equivalent of $1.00). The game received little press attention, and garnered a moderate reception from most (criticized for its lack of depth and features). Gameplay Clocked, one of the game's many minigames. The core gameplay of Hyper Button revolves around completing several short minigames as quickly as possible, to gain the highest score as possible. Points are given for completing minigames quickly and without any mistakes, while points are deducted for failing a minigame or disobeying the rules of the minigame. The game's local high score leaderboard doesn't have separate data for each minigame, but rather consolidates the score of each minigame in one playthrough. MinigamesDuck For CoverThe goal in this minigame is to press the buttons that appear on a sequence of ducks in the same order that they appear from left to right. In order to finish this minigame, the player must shoot 25 ducks. Panel PanicIn this minigame, there are five panels, four of which are arranged on each side of the fifth one. Each of the outer four is mapped to a button, and pressing that button will flip it over, revealing a picture. The goal is to match the middle panel six times. ClockedThis game, naturally, revolves around clocks. There are four on screen simultaneously. When one goes off, the player must push the correct button to turn it off. This is only done a single time, so the main factor is speed. Running With ButtonsTwo characters run onto the screen from opposite sides, each with a button labeled on them. If these buttons match, then the player must press it. If they don't match, the player does nothing. The goal here differs from previous games, whereas the goal is to not miss more than three times. Card TrickThis is a memory game. Four cards display the buttons A, Y, B, and X. These cards are flipped over and then shuffled. A random card will be chosen, and the player will be asked what button the card is. This is only done a single time. Quick Draw Quick DrawA speed focused minigame, this depicts a man holding up a flag. Each time he holds up an actual button, the player must press it. However, he will sometimes hold up flags depicting letters that aren't actually buttons, such as F or Q. The goal is to avoid being shot by pressing the button as quickly as possible. Tear Down This WallA button mashing minigame, the player must press a defined button as quickly as possible repeatedly. The button may change occasionally, so the player has to adjust quickly without hitting an incorrect button. The goal is to destroy the wall. Button ExpressThis game is similar to the first minigame (Duck For Cover), where the goal is to press buttons in a sequential order. A train approaches from the right, carrying buttons. The goal is to press all of the buttons. OverwhelmedThis minigame displays numerous buttons on screen. The goal is merely to select whichever button is displayed the most times. Ghastly Target TennisA machine rests in the center, firing tennis balls toward a four markers on the outer edges. Once these tennis balls pass through the markers, the player must press the equivalent button. The goal is to match 25 balls. GhastlyThree ghosts appear on screen. They flip up three cards containing buttons. The goal is to press the button that they are not holding ten times.

Bulk load film is less expensive, but I always found it harder to print when I used it at a newspaper. Fred Picker said it was movie film made with a thicker film base so that it could stand the motors in a movie camera. I just know that the 35mm bulk Tri-X at the newspaper felt thicker and exposed differently than the regular Tri-X. I would fear that, as Melinda is using commercial processing, the processor might not understand the extra exposure I found bulk film to require. I'd stick with the regular stuff.

Originally written on Fox Soccer | Last updated 3/18/13
(Eds: Updates.) By GRAHAM DUNBAR AP Sports Writer In a conclave at FIFA headquarters this week, a group of soccer leaders will work secretively over two days in their first session of 2013. Presided over by President Sepp Blatter, the FIFA Executive Committee - with 23 men and one woman - is a group governing a sport followed in many countries with near-religious fervor. Known in FIFA circles as the ''ExCo,'' the group oversees a billion dollar annual income and $1.3 billion cash reserves thanks to the World Cup. The ExCo members' influence was shown by the parade by princes, presidents and prime ministers who flocked to Zurich in December 2010 seeking votes for their country to be allowed to host a World Cup. Yet that high status is balanced by the depths FIFA's reputation has sunk to among many soccer fans and commentators. This week, one of the ExCo's main tasks is approving - or blocking - a slate of anti-corruption measures which the FIFA congress of 209 member nations wil...

A circuit to encode image data. The circuit receives image data in four bit nibbles which are either all-zero nibbles or terminating nibbles containing at least one non-zero bit. The circuit output is a series of code words, each a multiple of four bits and up to twenty-four bits long, packed into eight bit output words. Each code word contains a first part containing a run length specifying the number of received all-zero nibbles and a second part specifying the bit pattern of the terminating nibble. The circuit uses PROMs for the look-up and control elements and a pipeline of registers to allow high speed operation.
1. An encoding circuit which receives data to be encoded in four bit nibbles and which produces code words encoding the run length of all-zero nibbles and the terminating pattern, said words being from four to twelve bits in length, in multiples of four bits, comprising
a counter for counting the number of four bit all-zero nibbles preceeding a terminating nibble
an encoder responsive to said count and to the reception of a terminating nibble, for producing a four, eight or twelve bit code word containing a coded run length portion, a coded terminating portion, and a plurality of code bits specifying the length of the code word, and
a packing circuit for packing said code words into a fixed length series of output words.
2. The circuit of claim 1 wherein said fixed length is eight bits per word.
3. The circuit of claim 2 wherein said packing circuit comprises a four level pipeline, the first and second levels being twelve bits wide, the third and fourth levels being eight bits wide, and further comprising multiplexers for coupling data, in four bit nibbles, from any part of said second level into any part of said third and fourth levels, and from the third to the fourth level, so that the code words will be output in eight bit words.
4. The circuit of claim 3 further comprising a control signal generator coupled to said packing circuit for generating control codes and inserting said control codes into the data stream.
5. The circuit of claim 4 further comprising a counter register for encoding and coupling data from the most significant bits of said counter to said packing circuit, and responsive to the reception of a terminating nibble, so that at the reception of a terminating nibble, and when the count is too large to be accomodated by a twelve bit code word, the circuit will produce a twelve bit code word coding the most significant bits of said counter followed by a four, eight or twelve bit code word encoding the least significant bits of said counter and said terminating nibble.
6. The circuit of claim 5 further comprising an additional bit in the first and second levels of said packing circuit for storing a bit indicating whether the data in said first and second levels is valid, and
a control PROM responsive to the contents of said additional bits to control the operation of said multiplexers and said third and fourth levels of said pipeline.
7. The circuit of claim 6 further comprising a terminating register for temporarily storing said terminating nibble, and for coupling said terminating nibble pattern to said encoder and to said first level of said pipeline.
8. The circuit of claim 7 wherein said encoder is a PROM which is addressed by the least significant bits of said counter and by the data in the terminating register.
9. The circuit of claim 8 wherein the eight most significant bits of the first level of said pipeline receive data from said encoder and from said control signal generator, and wherein the four least significant bits receive data from said terminating register.
10. The circuit of claim 9 wherein said counter is an eleven bit counter, the most significant five bits being coupled to said counter register and the remainder coupled to said encoder.
This invention relates to the compression of binary data and more particularly to an improved run-length coding circuit.
There is a need in electronic systems for compacting data so that the information contained within said data may be stored in less memory or transmitted at a higher rate.
One technique is the use of a simple run-length code where the number of bits is transmitted rather than the bits themselves. In other words, the number "64" would be transmitted instead of the 64 bits.
A predictor may be used before the run-length encoder to increase the compression. A predictor examines the previous bits and then predicts the state of the instant bit. The prediction and the instant bit are then compared, a successful prediction being coded as a "0" bit, an unsuccessful prediction being coded as a "1" bit. A well designed predictor increases the average run length and, therefore, improves the efficiency of the encoder. In the system described herein a predictor is used ahead of the encoder but the claims are directed to the encoder alone since the encoder may be used with or without the predictor in any actual transmission or recording system.
A problem with a simple run-length encoder is that it must process each input bit as it is received. For example, after the reception of a string of 0's, the next bit must be inspected. If it is a 0, a run-length counter is incremented; if it is a one, the previous counter total is transmitted and the counter is initialized.
To speed up the data rate, the run-length encoder may be designed to process data bits in parallel. One example of this technique is described by John Monk in U.S. Pat. No. 3,588,329. The input bits are inspected in blocks of 64, 16 or 4 bits at a time and a variable length output word is produced containing the compressed data in the form of modified run-lengths.
The parallel processing of data in the form of data blocks increases the data rate, but ultimately a limit is reached based on the number of bits per block, which must be optimized for the particular application, and the circuit complexity, which must be minimized. An example of a commercially useful encoder is one that can operate in excess of 50 M bits per second in the compression of image data.
The circuit described herein receives the output of a predictor in the form of four-bit nibbles, and produces an encoded and compressed output of from four to twenty-four bits per word.
The encoder groups the input data into data words comprising an uniterrupted line of nibbles containing all 0's, regardless of how many that may be, followed by a terminating nibble having at least one 1 bit. A first code word portion is assigned to the number of all-zero nibbles, and a second code word portion is assigned to the data pattern of the terminating nibble. The final code word is the combination of the first and second code word portions. Finally, the code words are packed into eight bit output words prior to transmission.
The circuit uses a counter to count the number of all-zero nibbles, PROMs for table look-up and control functions, and several groups of registers formed into a pipeline to maintain a high data rate.
The object of the invention, therefore, is to provide a modified run-length encoding circuit which allows the efficient encoding/decoding of binary data at high rates. The described embodiment receives a four bit input and, in the worst case, produces an eight bit output for each 100 ns clock.

FIG. 2 comprises two examples of the encoding process.
FIG. 3 is a block diagram of a system in which the invention may be used.

FIG. 5 is a decision tree showing the multiplexer sequencing.
FIGS. 6A, 6B, 6C, 7A, 7B, 8A, 8B and 9 are schematic diagrams of the circuit.
In the particular embodiment described herein, the specific rules for converting an input data string into coded words are illustrated in FIGS. 1A and 1B, and summarized in FIG. 5. An input data string is defined as a series of Y all-zero nibbles followed by one terminating nibble X that contains at least one 1 bit. As shown, a Type 1 output word has four bits, a Type 2 output word has eight bits and a Type 3 output word has twelve bits.
A Type 1 output word is generated if there are no leading all-zero nibbles (Y=0) and the terminating non-zero nibble, X, belongs to the set of A, where A=1000, 0100, 0010, 0001. If these conditions are satisfied (that is XεA, Y=0) then the output is in the form of 10## where the ## bits are assigned as shown in FIG. 1B.
If Y=0 or 1 and X is in the set of B, where the set of B is all four-bit combinations except A and all zeros, then a Type 2C output word will be produced. The output word will be in the form of 011bbbZ where bbbb is the actual four bit pattern of the terminating nibble, except that bbbb=0100 when X=0011. Finally, Z=Y.
If 1≦Y≦25 and X is in the set of A, a Type 2B word of the form 0nnnnn## will be produced, where nnnnn is the five bit representation of Y, and ## are assigned as shown.
If X is in the set of A and 26≦Y≦63, or if X is in the set of B and 2≦Y≦63, then a Type 3A output word is produced of the form 11nnnnnnbbbb were nnnnnn is the binary representation of Y and bbbb is the pattern of bits in the terminating nibble.
The above rules apply where there is a maximum of 63 all-zero nibbles before the terminating nibble. If there are 64 or more all-zero nibbles before a non-zero terminating nibble, the data string is converted into a first part comprising a number of sets of 64 all-zero nibbles and a second part comprising the remaining 0 to 63 all-zero nibbles and the terminating nibble. The first part is encoded into a Type 3B output word of the form 11nnnnnn0000 where nnnnnn is the binary representation of the number of sets of 64 all-zero nibbles. The second set is then encoded according to the previously described rules.
These rules may be illustrated by way of the examples of FIG. 2. In Example 1, the first string comprises 31 all-zero nibbles and a terminating nibble of 1000. XεA and 26≦Y≦63 so a Type 3A output word is called for. In this case, 11,nnnnnn,bbbb=11,011111 (31 all-zero nibbles), 1000 (the actual bit pattern).
The next input word is 0010. Y=0 and XεA so a Type 1 word is required. In this case 10##=1010.
The last input word is a 1000 which is also in the set of A so the Type 1 output word, 10##, becomes 1000 as shown.
In example 2 of FIG. 2, the first input string has 95 zero nibbles and a terminating nibble of 0001 making a total of 96 nibbles. First the multiples of 64 zero nibbles are separated out. Here there is one group of 64 zero nibbles, so a Type 3B word is called for. 11nnnnnn0000=11,000001 (one set of 64 zero nibbles), 0000. Next, the remainder is encoded using the above described rules. There are 31 zero nibbles in the remainder and the termination nibble is of the set of A so a Type 3A output word will be produced. 11,nnnnnn,bbbb=11,011111 (31 zero nibbles), 0001.
The next input word is 1100 which is in the set of B, and Y=0. A type 2C word is required. 011,bbbb,Z=011,1100 (the actual pattern), 0 (Y=0).
The final input word is 0000 1011. Here, Y=1 and the terminator is the of the set of B so a Type 2C word is again required. 011,bbbb,Z=011,1011 (the actual pattern), 1(Y=1).
FIG. 3 is a simplified block diagram of a typical image processing system for reading an image in binary form into and back from a communication channel or memory storage device 33.
The document is scanned by a raster input scanner 30 which transforms each scanned line of image into a series of binary bits representing black and white pixels. The majority of bits output are white or 0 bits since the scanned document usually is text. Next, the predictor 31 operates on the bit string, usually reducing further the number of 1 bits. Finally, the bit string is encoded using the rules stated above to compress the data prior to transmission or storage.
To read from the communication channel or memory 33 and print on paper, the reverse process is called for. A decoder 34 expands the coded words into bit strings, an image recovery circuit 35 or depredictor recreates the original bit string as it was produced by the raster input scanner 30, and the image is printed by the raster output printer 36.
FIG. 4 is a detailed block diagram of the circuit. The incoming image data, in the form of four bit nibbles are input to the eleven bit run length counter 40 which increments for each all-zero nibble received. An eleven bit counter was chosen to accommodate the count of a complete scan line of all-zero nibbles corresponding to an all-white scan. The input is also received at the terminating register 41 which controls the remaining circuitry if the received nibble is a terminating nibble. An additional input is the error valid (EV) bit input to data valid flip-flop 42. The error valid line going high indicates that the accompanying data word is a non-zero terminating nibble from the predictor.
During scan line operation, if the predictor correctly predicted all four bits of the nibble, the error valid signal will be low and the counter 40 is incremented. If the predictor failed to predict one or more of the four bits correctly, the error valid signal will be high. In either case, the circuit will address 1K�4 bit PROMs 44 and 45 with the contents of register 41 and the least significant six bits of counter 40. The result is that if a four bit output word is appropriate, it will be contained in register A0; if an eight bit word is appropriate, it will be contained in registers A0 and A1; and if a twelve bit output word is appropriate, it will be contained in registers A0, A1 and A2.
In fact, registers A0, A1 and A2 will be loaded from PROMs 44 and 45 and register 41 whether the data is valid or not. The data will be valid if it was received with a high error valid bit. As the error data is shifted to "Level A", the error valid (EV) bit is shifted also, to flip-flop Ta, thus indicating that the Level A data is valid.
The control codes are also generated at Level A. For example, two control codes representing a normal end of line (NOL) and a prediction break (PBK) may be multiplexed into registers A0 and A1 through tri-state devices 46 as shown.
During the same cycle, if there is a non-zero terminator and the count is more than sixty-four, the five most significant bits of the counter 40 and some leading code bits (110) may be coupled through the tri-state devices 47 and multiplexers 49, 50 and 51 into registers C0, C1, D0 and D1. Thus, the code words produced as the result of the reception of one terminating nibble may be clocked into various registers at Levels A, C and D. During succeeding clock times, this data is then shifted down through the four level pipeline to emerge as eight bit output words.
The process is controlled by PROM 48 which receives input bits indicating the size and location of the various code word segments and controls the multiplexers 49, 50 and 51 so that these segments are shifted through the pipeline properly.
The function of the pipeline elements is most easily demonstrated by a discussion of the worst case where register D0 contains data from a previous cycle, the instant input nibble produces a twelve bit Type 3B run length and a twelve bit Type 3 A1 or 3 A2 terminating code word, and where the subsequent code word produced is an eight bit Type 2 word. The circuit must produce and output these code words in the correct sequence, compacted into eight bit output words, without the loss of data.
During the first clock period the five most significant bits of the counter 40 and three leading code bits (110) are coupled through the tri-state devices 47 and multiplexer 49 and loaded into registers D1 and C0, and register C1 is zeroed, to produce a twelve bit Type 3B code word at Levels C and D.
At the same time a twelve bit Type 3 A1 or 3 A2 word is produced by the encoders 44, 45 and loaded into the A0, A1 and A2 registers.
During the second clock period the data in registers D0 and D1 is output, the C0 and C1 data is shifted into registers D0 and D1, the A0, A1, and A2 data is shifted into B0, B1, and B2 and a new code word is loaded into Level A. At this point, Levels A, B and D contain data.
During the third clock period the data in registers D0 and D1 is output, the data in B0 and B1 is shifted directly into D0 and D1, and thereafter data is shifted down the pipeline in a straightforward manner.
The control of this process is provided by the PROM 48 which receives data information from the Ta and Tb flip-flops and is coupled by control lines to registers C0, C1, D0 and D1 and to multiplexers 49, 50 and 51.
FIGS. 6, 7, 8 and 9 are detailed schematics of the circuit. In FIG. 6, counter devices f07, f06 and f05 comprise the eleven bit counter 40. The six least significant bits are connected as address inputs to ROM devices g07 and g06 which are the encoder PROMs 44, 45.
The terminator register 41 is the lower half of register device e07, and receives the four error inputs Err0-3 from the predictor, said inputs constituting the predicted image data word inputs to this circuit.
The error valid signal, EV, is also buffered through this device e07. The error valid signal, EV, which is buffered through this device e07 represents the difference between the predicted and actual scanned data. The presence of predicted data at the input causes the"Data Valid" flip-flop to be set.
FIG. 6 tri-state devices g04a through g04h are the tri-state devices 46 of FIG. 4 that may be used to inject control codes into the data stream. In the case shown, there is a capability for generating four control codes using the Term 0 and Term 1 lines.
As shown in FIG. 7, the A0, A1 and A2 registers implemented from a multiplexer h06 and a register h05 receive twelve parallel bits of data on the ROM 00 through ROM 07 lines from ROM 1, 44 and ROM 2, 45 memory devices and on lines Term 0 through Term 3 from the terminating register 41. As described above, the next clock pulse will then transfer these twelve bits on lines A00 through A11 to the B0 and B1 registers i07 and B2 register i06.
The tri-state devices 47 of FIG. 4 are shown as devices h08a through h08h and couple the three leading bits (110) of the Type 3B code word and the five most significant counter 40 bits from lines NibCntr0 through NibCntr4 to the B0, B1 and B2 register output lines B00 through B11.
The C0 register, a multiplexing latch g10, is shown in FIG. 8 as receiving data from either the B0 register on lines B00 through B03 or through multiplexer 50 from either the B1 register on lines B04 through B07 or the B2 register on lines B08 through B11. The multiplexer 51 of FIG. 4 and the D0 register are combined into multiplexer/latch device h11 which is labelled as the D0 register, and which receives four bits of data from the B0 register on lines B00 through B03 or from the C0 register on lines C00 through C03.
The C1 register h09 is also a multiplexing latch receiving data from the B1 and B2 registers. Finally, the D1 register h10 receives either C1 register data through lines C04 through C07 or B0 and B1 register data through the M1 multiplexer 49 on lines B00 through B07.
FIG. 9 is a schematic of the encoder PROM 48 circuit of FIG. 4. The NibCntr0-4 signal line is driven by the output of gate e06b which monitors the five most significant bits of the counter 40 to signify whether more than 64 all-zero nibbles have been received and therefore whether a Type 3B code word need be produced. The Valid Term input is a result of the exclusive ORing of the four bits of the latest data input nibble and signifies whether the last nibble is all-zero. Valid Code-b is a function of the bit in the Ta register of FIG. 4 and signifies whether the data in the A Level registers during the previous clock period, and in the B Level registers during the current clock period are valid. These inputs are used as inputs to the encoder control PROM 48 which drives a decoder f12 to produce control signals C-0, C-1, D-0 and D-1 which are used to control the M1 multiplexer 49, the M2 multiplexer 50 and the C0, C1, D0 and D1 registers of FIG. 8.

Striking GOLD
NATURE inspires me, opens me up and soothes me. If mountains, trees, oceans, forests..etc. are in my central vision (or even peripheral), I am in my element. I'm adventurous and SPONTANEOUS. I like to get dirty..I mean climb fences, get sandy at the beach, climb through and over shrubs or the sides of mountains off the beaten path 'dirty.' I'm worldly, yet spiritual. Being a GOOD PERSON, kind-sweet-soft-warm-compassionate, these characteristics are SO important to me. HELPING people in whatever capacity I can is also very IMPORTANT to me. My line of work fulfills me to my core... Probably because I prefer to play, discover and create, rather than think of work as 'work'. However, it is important for me to have structure, balance, discipline, and consistency in my life in order to realize the dreams I cherish. I like to laugh, actually that is an understatement....I love LAUGHING. I am very funny and very goofy. When someone tries to make me laugh, I feel exuberant and alive and it is greatly appreciated. I love comedy...both stand up and movies. I enjoy being HEALTHY. I work out 4-6 times a week. I like dancing, yoga, pilates, working out at the gym (lifting weights), hiking, biking, stand-up paddel board, and/or roller skating/biking beach. I like to watch football, basketball, hockey, soccer and baseball. Watching sports is a great escape and the energy around healthy competition is exhilarating. I enjoy a good BBQ and entertaining family and friends. I like going to the movies or SNUGGLING up and watching movies at home. I'm a good bowler and pool player. I COOK all kinds of food, and you'll find me at the farmer's markets, Italian deli's and all those mom and pop health food stores on a weekly basis. YES, I EAT MEAT...actually I eat everything, no exaggeration. One of my favorite things to do on a week day night after work is light some candles (love candles), cook a new dish and drink a little wine while listening to music. I feel compelled to TRAVEL, I try to take a big trip once a year. In the meantime, I like to take weekend getaways up the coast, go wine tasting, go to flea markets, go to museums, art exhibits, concerts, fairs, conventions about health and accumulating wealth, support friends in their endeavors and discover and pursue my passions (photography, interior design, gardening, make jewelry, make greeting cards, festivals). Exploring new types of MUSIC and listening to MUSIC is a must. Morning becomes Eclectic is a fav, along with Reggae, Rap and Hip-Hop. A little Radio Head, The National, Iron and Wine, Arcade Fire, Massive Attack, Groove Theory, Thevery Corporation, Air, Feist, David Grey, Adele, Incubus and/or Muse always set the mood. I listen to Classical and Jazz (real jazz) to relax. I prefer music to be on in the background most of the time...along with good lighting and candles. Yep, even during the week.... Ambiance. I am lover of all ANIMALS. I find zoo's and aquariums to be depressing. I love birds, but I cannot find it in my heart to cage them. I value and respect different ways of thinking, ideas, opinions, and of course separate space and time alone and/or with friends and family. My belief is that there must be an 'I" before one gets to a 'We.' I respond to sincerity, intelligence, leadership, ambition, humor, and generosity. I am the best version of me when I'm with a man that I feel protected and cherished around. I appreciate humility, patience, loyalty, honesty, generosity and thoughtfulness. In turn for these qualities, I am incredibly respectful and loyal. I'm open and vulnerable to a man that I can look up to. A man that can run laps around me in certain areas. A man that keeps his word and has character. What I bring to the table; acceptance, encouragement, fierce loyalty and devotion, respect

Faculty Profile
Meet Jessie Sholl
By Britt Gambino
Gotham teacher Jessie Sholl didn't think she'd enjoy writing a memoir as much as she enjoyed writing a novel.
Here's how this fiction writer ended up switching gears and finding her Zen in nonfiction:
While her agent was shopping her novel to publishers, Jessie mentioned a personal story she had wanted to write about for a long time. After Jessie revealed the idea, her agent encouraged her to explore the territory she had been so fearful to tread: her mother's compulsive hoarding. In the interim, her novel got turned down and her memoir proposal sold. It felt like a sign. And so Jessie finally wrote her memoir Dirty Secret: A Daughter Comes Clean about Her Mother's Compulsive Hoarding.
