I have had to clean my feeders and bird table,they seem to go mouldy after awhile.
we have foxes and badgers that come into the garden,they are part of the wildlife around and do in our case take out a lot of the rat population ,you have to live with them to be part of the environment we live in ,annoying sometimes but so are humans.You cant choose what comes to visit or what you prefer,as to a deterrent and if you need one ,is an old folk one,urinate around the site you don't want them to be,
My holly was in a bad way when we moved here and we prunned it to shape and it survied and hollies can be used as hedges so clipping is ok.
I had problem leylandi some years ago in my old house they grew taller than the house and took much of the garden as they were on both sides orginally as hedge,we moved and the next owners had them taken down at a cost.
Well,in my unheated green house I have put some plants begonias e.t.c.and I put black plastic trays round by the glass to keep the frost and cold away,.In the garden I covered some sensitive bulbs and plants with a big pot (it worked last year) and I put a black tray on sticks over my lavenders,so far so good.
do not feed your cattle leylandi or anything like that,yew is very deadly and I could go on.feed them what they normally eat.I known so many horses that have been fed what people think is alright and they die .
thats why I left mine in a pot .
My daughter did have very out of control Laural bushes that became trees ,they are not good as a garden hedge at all,we have cut them right back and yes they do grow back but you have be ruthless as they set roots up everywhere if not controlled.also our neighbours had them as hedges and they grew out over the pavement,they cut them back and now they are as bad as ever.
yea like that bob!
I would get a book out and check looks like cannabis.

Toy maker
JAKKS Pacific Inc.
's (
) adjusted loss of 65 cents per share in the first quarter of 2012,
was considerably wider than the Zacks Consensus Estimate of a loss
of 61 cents. The quarterly results also deteriorated considerably
from the year-ago earnings of 40 cents per share and was below
management's guidance of 61 cents to 64 cents loss.
On a GAAP basis, reported loss of 62 cents per share was well
below the year-ago quarter's loss of 39 cents. The company's
revenue nudged up 1.5% year over year to $73.4 million in the first
Losses take into account additional operating expenses
associated with the recent acquisition of Moose Mountain, which was
also in a seasonally feeble sales volume quarter, as well as
marketing expenses associated with the launch of the Monsuno
product line.
Total selling, general and administrative expenses in the first
quarter of 2012 rose to $43 million, or 58.5% of net sales from
$39.1 million, or 54% of net sales, last year. Gross margin in the
quarter was 32.1% versus 33.6% in the comparable period last year.
The decline in margin can be attributed to a shift in product mix
resulting in higher royalty expense. However, lower product cost
and tooling amortization compensated the fall to some extent.
Financial Position
At quarter-end, JAKKS had cash and cash equivalents and
marketable securities of $254.8 million versus $257.5 million at
December 31, 2011. The company also announced a quarterly cash
dividend of 10 cents per share, payable on July 2, 2012 to
shareholders of record as of June 15.
For 2012, JAKKS forecasts adjusted earnings in the range of
$1.01 to $1.07 per share. The company expects sales in the range of
$720-$728 million, implying a growth of 6.2% to 7.4%.
The company foresees a better retail sales environment in 2012
and remains upbeat regarding its strong product line-up. Management
also remains optimistic on the recent re-launch of the Monsuno toy
line, which has been greatly accepted at the retail level.
Our Take
We remain optimistic on JAKKS' long-term growth potential with
product launches and strong financial condition. However, cost
inflation continues to hurt the company.
JAKKS Pacific currently retains a Zacks #3 Rank, which
translates into a short-term Hold rating. We are also maintaining
our long-term Neutral recommendation on the stock.
One of JAKKS' primary competitors,
Mattel Inc.
) reported first quarter earnings of 6 cents per share, missing the
Zacks Consensus Estimate by a penny.

Algoma High School
Kewaunee High School
Luxemburg-Casco High School
Southern Door High School
Sturgeon Bay High School
Sevastopol High School
Gibraltar High School
Washington Island High School
It was rivalry night in the Packerland Conference for Door County boys basketball teams. Southern Door controlled Sturgeon Bay 51-42 with intense defense and clutch free throw shooting on the road last night. It marked the first time Eagles senior Drew Klaubauf beat Sturgeon Bay in his four years playing basketball for Southern Door. Drew's defense will not show up on the stat sheet but was the key in the upset of the Clippers. Klaubauf was able to shut down Sturgeon Bay's Nathan Abrahamson limiting him to nine points.Like a good pitching staff in baseball, Southern Door had a great starter last night in Austin Rohe and a fantastic closer in Mitchel Neubauer. Rohe scored 15 of his 17 points in the first half. Neubauer picked it up in the second half. His 21 point outing will keep him on top of the scoring race in the Packerland Conference.Gibraltar won their rivalry matchup 47-40 over Sevastopol and holds bragging rights a little longer. Amadee Savard led the Vikings with 11 points. The game was truly decided in the first quarter when Gibraltar jumped out to a 15-3 lead. Casey Giesseman scored a game high 12 points in the loss for Sevastopol.N.E.W. Lutheran proved they are the top dogs in the Packerland Conference with an 86-46 blowout of Algoma. Travis Kostichka scored 12 points in the paint for the Wolves, but it was nowhere near enough as the Blazers had their way with Algoma.Oconto upset Kewaunee 65-59 behind Trent Mehlberg's 23 point effort. Reggie Nimmer had a fine night on the block with 17 points and Caleb Johnson added 14 but it was not enough for the Storm.In the Bay Conference, Luxemburg-Casco got a big win over New London 68-57. Deep threat Jake Zeitler scored 21 points to lead all scorers including five three pointers.

Honorable Jim Wright, M.C.
My dear Jim:
Thanks for your good letter about the soil erosion. I am with you a thousand percent. I believe your letter to all of your colleagues will do an awful lot of good. I am going to talk to our mutual friends about it and I believe we can put this over. It is the most important thing I know of. It is almost like losing your life, as a matter of fact, when your soil is washing off, the life has gone. It is just a corpse, instead of something that is alive and will do things. It is just like a dead man and a live man.
So, you can count on me and anybody that I can get to help you keep this going.
God bless you. Keep up the good work and let me know when, how and where I can help. With every good wish, I am
Sincerely your old friend,
Frank W. Boykin, M.C

St Patricks Day weekend, normally this isn't a real busy time for some one who is a hundred percent Dutch heritage but this year was an exception since I was entered in a series of races on Saturday that were part of the Irish festivities that are celebrated quite heartily here in town.
People could enter any of three races, A 5 mile race held at 9 am, a 5K race held at 11:30 am, or a 1 mile race held at 2:00 pm just before the parade downtown, or you could enter any combination of these races. If you decided to enter all 3 races then that was called the Irishman and that was what I became for the day yesterday.
Since I was leaving my heritage behind for a day that meant that I would not be wearing these Dutch Klompens for the races and would have to find something else to run in.
Not that I was disappointed since I can't ever seem to PR in those darn things anyway!
These holiday festivities are always more enjoyable when the weather cooperates but the weather was around freezing with a wind at 15 mph with gust to 28 but even with people having to hide from the wind while waiting I thought the turnout was pretty decent.
Starting with the 5 mile things really went pretty well and stayed fairly steady throughout the race and getting appropriately tired at the end so when some one started to pass me at first I was going to let them go but decided there were only about twenty yards left so I gave it a shot and was able to get my position back so at least I had some kick left for this race. This was the first 5 mile race I have done and finished at 32:49, pace 6:34, and a 3rd in AG that covered 50 to 59.
For the 5K I could tell after a bit that my legs were not as fresh for this one and the course went the other direction so there was a little more elevation change, not that it's hilly, and a little more exposure to the wind. At the finish for this one someone starting passing at a pretty good pace at the end and I tried to pick it up but didn't have near the kick this time. Finished with a 20:33, pace 6;37, and 3rd in AG again.
There was quite a bit of time left before the mile race so went and ran an errand and even stopped at Noodles for lunch and had some pasta, I know that's probably not the best thing to do when running races but hey, I don't like to miss a meal!
By race time it had started snowing, not the kind that accumulates but the kind that does like to ping off the eyeballs. This race was gun timed since we were only going to finish at the timing mat, it was just a straight shot through downtown. This was also my first shot at the mile distance and wasn't feeling real confident since my legs were feeling rather tired and if I had been confident I wouldn't have had that lunch either! Anyway at the start I was surprised how many people were in the race which was nice. Now I don't have any proof of this but I think it's quite possible that the Irish mile is a wee bit longer than the Dutch mile because I was sucking air pretty hard for this one. It was pretty funny though because it seemed like everyone in my area were all breathing like this was the smokers run or something and in the last quarter mile we ran into a wall of wind and you could hear several people groan in unison when it hit. For this one it was 6:34 and second in AG. had a virtual tie with one of the other two guys that beat me in the other two races but they placed me in front of him even though we had the same time.
As for the overall Irishman my time was 59:56 and was 9th overall.
The awards for the top places were this leprechaun shoe on a plaque and looked pretty cool but I won't be winning any of those unless the first place winner in my age group decides not to run sometime. Talked to him for quite awhile and he was running 6:07 paces. Maybe if he has to where those wooden shoes next year I can take him!
May the luck of the Irish have been with you in your races this weekend!! Erin go bragh!!
In it for the long run.
Wow- so freaking fast in every race. Congrats!
Rock on and keep on running.....
What the....?? Your pace didn't really change for all 3 races.....Wow.,
You should totally switch his shoes next time.
Attitude is everything
Congrats on the top ten Irishman finish! Sounds like a fun series!
Well, you sure are consistent! That is a full day's worth alright. Well done!
You mean somebody beat you? Hard to believe, given those times. Great racing!
Blazin' fast. Great job in getting back out there each time and picking up right where you left off the race before. Good day's work.
Run on everyone.....................Steve

My turning flasher click constantly but the lights don't blink. It stops when the brake is engaged and the lights work when using the turning lever.

September 22, 2012.
Then one of hte wires are grounded or partially grounded causeing this. It will have to be traced back and see if it's touching someplace like under the dash etc. If something has been recently installed like an alarm system, radio piece check that first.
There was anremote system, open locks and start, installed when I bought it. Maybe I should disconnect that first and see, dang thing don't work anyway.
Are they normally just a plug in that is pulled to disconnect it? I know very little about them. Or is it more of a technical thing I should get somebody to do for me?
Well have a pro look at this because maybe he can get the remote to work as well as fix the flasher problem. I'd bet the two are related.
Looked at it this afternoon and positive that it is the turning signal switch that is causing the problem. Going to replace it next weekend and will post if that is what it is.

The 2013 Advance Auto Parts Monster Jam season picked up right where it left off in 2012. There was "action galore" tonight with new names in familiar trucks and new names at the top of a few different catagories.
Becky McDonough & the new design of El Toro Loco bested the entire field in the wheelie contest much to the delight of every single woman in attendance tonight both young & old. Quit a few of the boys were forced to sit up and take attention real quick.
Wheelie results:1) Krazy Train - 4/4/5=132) El Toro Loco - 8/8/8=243) Aftershock - 7/7/6=204) Northern Nightmare - 7/7/7=215) Grinder - 8/8/7=236) Grave Digger - 4/4/4=12
Monster Jam had different results but very much equal the results. This time it was the newest member of the Grave Digger team Jon Zimmer sweeping his way through the bracket and into the finals claiming the 1st racing win of the weekend.
Racing result: round 1Grave Digger defeated El Toro LocoNorthern Nightmare defeated AfterShockGrinder defeated Krazy Train
Racing results: round 2Grave Digger defeated El Toro Loco (came back as fast loser from rd 1)Northern Nightmare defeated Grinder
Racing results: Monster Jam Finals Grave Digger defeated Northern Nightmare
The Monster Jam Donut Competiton was next on the line-up and it was fairly apparent that John Seasock & Grinder had pretty much enough of sitting on the sidelines watching others claim victory. The 2 time world champion threw down the hammer but by the narrowest of margins and celebrated by doing what he loves best and that's heading into the seats and spending time with the fans.
Donut results:1) Krazy Train - 5/4/4=132) El Toro Loco - 4/2/4=103) AfterShock - 6/5/5=164) Northern Nightmare - 9/7/8=245) Grinder - 9/8/9=266) Grave Digger - 9/8/8=25
Monster Jam Freestyle was the last event of the night and no doubt about it, that's what the fans were waiting for. Once again, it was the "newbie" to the Grave Digger camp Jon Zimmer, that took home the final win of the night. Listening to his interviews and watching his interaction with the fans, its easy to see he will quickly become a fan favorite and totally reinforces Dennis Anderson's decision to add Jon to the Grave Digger team. Congratulations to Jon & The Grave Digger team.
Freestyle results:1) Krazy Train - 5/5/5=152) AfterShock - 7/6/6=193) El Toro Loco - 7/8/8=234) Northern Nightmare - DNF5) Grinder - 7/7/8=226) Grave Digger - 8/8/8=24
By Scott Rehn
As we entered into the 2nd event of the weekend the fans & the USHRA staff welcomed our VIPs to the show. The local Advance Auto Parts Rep Bob Eddinger presented Brian Pierce of Pierce Automotive an honorary sponsorship on the tailgate of the Grinder for the tonight's show. Nothing out of the ordinary really, except for one thing. John Seasock made the statement almost right away, "dont expect that decal to last for very long because I expect to scrap that thing off right away in the "Wheelie Contest." I think Seasock's single pass over the cars may have even surprised him as he did EXACTLY what he said he was going to do. Seasock and Grinder flew straight up into the air and peeled the sticker right off and in doing so scored a near perfect 29 and clinching the 1st win of the night.
Wheelie Contest Results:1) Krazy Train - 7/5/6=182) El Toro Loco - 8/8/9=253) Aftershock - 4/4/5=134) Northern Nightmare - 8/9/9=265) Grinder - 10/10/9=296) Grave Digger - 8/9/7=24
Monster Jam Racing was next to hit the floor and it was as if the 2012 defending Freestyle World Champion Cam McQueen & Northern Nightmare were possessed as the duo dominated their way through the racing bracket all the way to the finals to only cut a perfect light and beat John Seasock and Grinder.
Racing Results:1) Grinder defeated Aftershock2) Grave Digger defeated El Toro Loco3) Northern Nightmare defeated Krazy TrainRound Two:1) Grinder defeated El Toro Loco (came back as fast looser from rd 1)2) Northern Nightmare defeated Grave DiggerFinals:1) Northern Nightmare defeated Grinder
The ever growing popular Donut Contest was next. The scores reflected the effort the entire field put into their runs as the scores were all very high tonight. In the end, it was the wiley veteran, John Seasock & Grinder having a PERFECT donut. Not only did they NOT wander a total of 2 feet one way or the other, the pair also did it (27) times!!

Now the finale of the night, Monster Jam Freestyle. I have to say that if you are going to make a good first impression when it comes to the boss and a discerning fan base, you had better "lay it down" in Monster Jam Freestyle. Well, that's exactly what Jon Zimmer did tonight as the newest member of Team Grave Digger. The moves were so precise I was thinking it may have been "dumb luck," but it happened over and over again. By the end of his 60 second run it was VERY apparent it WASN'T "dumb luck," but absolute skill. Zimmer & Digger claimed their 2nd freestyle win of the weekend, in "DIGGER STYLE!"
Freestyle Results:1) Krazy Train - 5/5/5=152) Aftershock - 7/7/8=223) El Toro Loco - *DNF4) Northern Nightmare - 7/9/7=235) Grinder - 7/7/7=216) Grave Digger - 9/9/9=27
As we entered into our final day of the 2013 Supercuts Presents The Advance Auto Parts Monster Jam weekend here in Rochester, NY, no one would EVER guess the way the event's competition would turn out. Keep in mind, Rochester, NY had (3) world champions in the line-up, there was a "new" driver to the Grave Digger team, a "new" Monster Jam monster truck to the Grave Digger team and it would be that duo that would DOMINATE all four of today's contests. So when a fan adds up all those variables, then the realization sets in that they just witnessed history today. This kind of afternoon doesn't happen very often and sometimes NEVER in a driver's career. A BIG congratulations to Jon Zimmer & his new Grave Digger & crew, they had one heck of a weekend and one very special day today!Thank you Rochester, we had a BLAST while here. A special thank you goes to everyone @ Dinosaur's BBQ. Great food, FANTASTIC ribs, if you're ever in the area you HAVE TO check it out. We hope to see everyone at the Carrier Dome March 9th when there will be (16) trucks gearing up for the Advance Auto Parts Monster Jam!

Paralysed man, widow lose right-to-die caseComment on this story
London -
A paralysed man and the widow of a man with locked-in syndrome on Wednesday lost their battle for the right to assisted suicide in Britain's highest court.
Judges at the Supreme Court dismissed the appeal brought by Paul Lamb and Jane Nicklinson by a majority of seven to two after a hearing in December.
The pair had wanted a change to Britain's 1961 Suicide Act, which makes helping others to end their lives a crime.
They argued that it was incompatible with the right to respect for private and family life as set out in the European Convention on Human Rights.
Despite dismissing the appeal, the court ruled that the decision on assisted suicide was a domestic question for Britain, but disagreed on whether the courts or parliament should be able to make it.
Five judges argued that the court had the "constitutional authority" to overturn the ban, though only two would have done so.
The other four ruled that parliament was "better qualified to decide".
Lamb, who has been unable to move any part of his body apart from his right hand after a car crash in 1991, said: "I am proud of myself for what I have done. I know it (the law) has to change."
"I am disappointed, but it is a very positive step," added Nicklinson.
"Parliament will have to discuss this."
Nicklinson's husband Tony died two years ago.
He refused food after the High Court rejected his application for a declaration that a doctor would not be prosecuted for killing him or helping him to end his life. - Sapa-dpa

National police expert helps Valley firefighters prevent suicide
PHOENIX - For the first time in more than two decades, the National Police Suicide Foundation executive director is reaching out to firefighters to help prevent suicides.
Crews from several Valley departments accepted an opportunity to learn from veteran police suicide expert, Bob Douglas, during a special Phoenix seminar, sponsored by the 100 Club of Arizona.
The Phoenix event also included a presentation from a Valley woman whose firefighter-brother committed suicide nearly two decades ago.
As one of the youngest men ever to become captain at the Phoenix Fire Department, Mike Callahan, a husband and father of three young children, seemed to have it all.
"(He was) very fun loving," said Kathy Mayberry, Callahan's sister. "(He) had a big heart."
Fifteen years ago, she recalled, he and his young family had just moved into a new home. At the time, Callahan's hyper attitude and weight loss didn't seem out of the ordinary, considering all of the hectic activities happening in his life.
She never realized the changes in his behavior and appearance were also warning signs of a devastating event to come.
"I was working out of town … when I got the call that Mike had been shot and killed," she said.
When she arrived back in Arizona, she learned her brother had pulled the trigger on himself.
"I'm really convinced that we are put in places and surrounded by certain people to make a difference for others," Mayberry said, addressing a group of nearly thirty firefighters during one of two special seminars at the Phoenix Fire Department.
"Although this is difficult to share my story, I hope and pray that my words and actions can make a difference."
No one talked much about suicide when Mayberry's brother died, but this year, it is becoming an important topic at departments around the country.
Four Phoenix firefighters killed themselves during a span of seven months in 2009 and 2010.
That's why the 100 Club of Arizona, an organization that offers resources and financial support to families of injured or fallen first responders, invited Douglas to conduct two, four-hour suicide awareness training seminars for Valley firefighters.
Shift commanders and battalion chiefs from Phoenix attended the event as well as representatives from a total of five Valley departments.
"After I went to Bob (Douglas') seminar…I had a cold chill going down my body," said Mayberry, referring to a time she saw Douglas speaking months ago.
Mayberry, who is also a member of the 100 Club of Arizona Board of Directors, said Douglas helped her realize the suicide warning signs -like weight loss, sleep deprivation, and hyper behavior - that were present in her brother before he passed away.
"Don't ignore behaviors that are unusual for a person," she said. "Reach your hand out and ask to help."
"Until we start to talk about it and discuss it and understand it – at least in the emergency field of firefighters and police and EMS – we will never, never see a reduction in the suicides in our country today," said Douglas.
Douglas, a retired police officer from Baltimore, lost a good friend and colleague to suicide in the mid-1980s. Since that time, he has worked to bring suicide awareness to other police officers throughout the country, eventually developing the National Police Suicide Foundation.
The presentation in Phoenix is the first time he has trained an exclusive group of firefighters.
"The key is to be educated in the basic signs and symptoms and then to be able to process that to someone who can bring about help," Douglas explained.
He told firefighters to look for alcoholism, sleep disorders, deteriorating personal appearances, absenteeism, low morale, loss of productivity, and exhaustion as possible indicators that a fellow firefighter may be struggling internally.
The ABC15 Investigators have been reporting on this story since November, but during a January interview, learned the Acting US Fire Administrator reached out to other national fire service organizations after reading our story.
He said he hoped to develop a nationwide survey, to better understand the issue as it affects firefighters around the country. The survey, he said, would help fire officials learn how to better handle suicide prevention within the ranks.
This month, he told us he has spoken with all three major fire service organizations, including the International Association of Fire Fighters , the National Volunteer Fire Council , and the International Association of Fire Chiefs.
"There is concern and interest in firefighter suicide," he wrote to us in an email. "I plan on discussing the matter with (the three firefighter organizations) in the coming weeks."
Gaines said the National Volunteer Fire Council has agreed to undertake the survey but does not currently have the funding to do so.
is considering developing a digital, best practices management guide for crews throughout the country. Gaines said it would be made available in a national online resource center.
"We may be able to assist in funding once a final decision is made in regard to our current year budget," Gaines said.

Veteran's work ethic ideal for state trooper job
Ed Smetana combined his love of travel and camping in a long family vacation in the early 1970s.
"He pulled a travel trailer to California and back with an Oldsmobile 88. ... Can you imagine?" said his son, Edward Smetana Jr. of Butler.
Edward F. Smetana of Hampton, a retired state trooper, died Saturday, Feb. 16, 2013. He was 87.
A World War II Navy veteran who did some boxing during his service, Mr. Smetana lost a couple of teeth to the sport, his son said. He served in the Pacific Theater as a torpedoman's mate 3rd class, taking part in the Philippine Liberation and receiving the Victory Medal.
Mr. Smetana then worked for 31 years as a state trooper in Punxsutawney, Gibsonia and Washington. When he retired, he owned and operated a driver's training school.
Larry Stayduhar of McCandless worked with Mr. Smetana at the Gibsonia barracks.
"I love the guy," he said. "He was a great guy."
They worked well together, said Stayduhar, who was a trooper for 27 years.
"I was a worker and he was a worker," he said. "But I used to mess with him and he'd tell me, 'I'm going to kick your butt.' "
In addition to his son, Edward, Mr. Smetana is survived by his wife of 64 years, Bertha Spiegel Smetana; sons, Leonard C. Smetana of Lunenburg, Mass.; Charles C. Smetana of Valencia; and Richard J. Smetana of Hampton; and 11 grandchildren and six great-grandchildren.
He was preceded in death by a daughter, Barbara A. Clarke; three brothers; six sisters; and a grandson, David.
Friends will be received from 2 to 4 and 6 to 8 p.m. Tuesday in Schellhaas Funeral Home and Cremation Services, 5864 Heckert Road, Bakerstown.
A Mass of Christian Burial will be celebrated at 9:30 a.m. Wednesday in St. Catherine of Sweden Church with the Rev. Steven V. Neff as celebrant. Interment will follow in Allegheny County Memorial Park in McCandless.

An Eye on DLP, No. 3
Even though the "bit depth" of the "grayscale resolution" is nominally just a barely sufficient 8 bits, that depth can effectively be extended to 10 or 11 bits, using tricks. An early, crude way to do that bit-depth boost is "dithering." "Dark video enhancement," involving a redesigned color wheel, now replaces dithering as a more subtle and successful method of keeping false edges out of darker portions of images.
Now I'd like to talk about another subtle and successful trick which the DLP mavens at TI have dreamed up. It's SmoothPicture, a way to get a DMD with 1080 rows and 960 (not 1920!) columns of micromirrors/pixels to display a 1920 x 1080, maximally high-definition picture that is progressively scanned — i.e., 1080p!
"A DMD that supports SmoothPicture contains an array of pixels aligned on a 45-degree angle," writes Alen Koebel in the August 2005 issue of Widescreen Review magazine. "TI calls this an offset-diamond pixel layout." The revised layout contrasts with the ordinary pixel arrangement, in which all the micromirrors' edges line up with the frame of the DMD.
With this new alignment, from each micromirror can be derived not one but two pixels on the screen. How? Koebel writes, "The incoming image is split into two subframes — the first containing half of the image's pixels in a checkerboard pattern (odd pixels on odd scanlines and even pixels on even scanlines), and the second containing the remaining half of the pixels."
"During the first half of a video frame," Koebel continues, "the first subframe is displayed on the full [micromirror] array, addressed as 1080 rows of 960 columns. Just before the start of the second half of the video frame, a mirror in the projection path is moved [slightly] to shift the image of the DMD on the screen by exactly half a pixel horizontally. The second subframe is then displayed on the DMD during the second half of the video frame."
The illustration to the right may help in visualizing what is going on. (Click on it to see a larger version.) At the bottom is a representation of part of a mirror. This, I believe, is a separate mirror, one that is "in the projection path," not one of the micromirrors. It swivels slightly such that it forms first one pixel on the screen, and then a second, slightly offset pixel next to it.
Accordingly, the pixels are diamond-shaped, nor rectangular. It's too bad Mitsubishi owns the name DiamondVision, no?
Cheating, you say? Not true 1080p? Two points. One, there is a DLP chip that produces full-fledged, honest-to-goodness 1080p — or, actually, it does even better. It produces 2K horizontal resolution, fully 2,048 pixels across by 1,080 up and down. This digital micromirror device is called the DC2K, for "digital cinema 2K," and it's used in groups of three in (you guessed it) expensive digital-cinema projectors.
The DC2K is way too pricey for consumer-level gear, even in single-chip configurations. This is because it's physically larger than other DMDs. The larger the DMD, the harder it is to produce in quantity without flaws. The manufacturing yield is low, making the price correspondingly high.
The second point in favor of SmoothPicture is that the "slight loss of resolution, mostly in the diagonal direction," due to the overlapping pixels on the screen, "has an intended beneficial effect for which the feature is named: it hides the pixel structure."
"This is not unlike the natural filtering that occurs in a CRT projector, due to the Gaussian nature of the CRT's flying spot," Koebel goes on to say. (By that he means that the moving electron beam in a CRT lights up a tiny circular area of phosphors: a spot. The luminance of the spot rises and then falls again in a bell-shaped ("Gaussian") pattern, proceeding from edge to edge.
So, says Koebel, "TI's SmoothPicture is probably the closest a pixel-based display has yet come to the smooth, film-like performance of a projection CRT display."
"Comparative measurements by TI show that a 1080p SmoothPicture rear-projection display exhibits higher contrast at almost all spatial frequencies (in other words, more detail) than two popular competing LCoS rear-projection displays," writes Koebel. I'm guessing that he's referring here to something experts in imaging science call the "modulation transfer function," or MTF.
My understanding of the MTF — which is admittedly quite limited — is that it quantifies an odd characteristic of human vision: an image appears to be much sharper when it has a higher modulation (that is, when it has a higher contrast ratio). At a lower modulation/contrast ratio, the image appears less sharp — even though, technically, it has the same resolution!
So, I assume, TI's SmoothPicture display gives better contrast ratios than its LCoS competitors, and that higher modulation results in subjectively sharper pictures with subjectively more detail.
Another topic I'd like to touch on briefly is also contrast ratio-related: DynamicBlack.
DynamicBlack is TI"s name for automatic iris control. In front projectors there is often a user-adjustable circular iris in the light path which may be widened or contracted much like the iris in the eye. When you buy a front projector and screen, you have many options to choose from as to how large the screen is, how far away from the projector it is, and what the "gain" of the screen is. (Gain has to do with how much of the light from the projector is transmitted to the audience's retinas. The higher the gain, the brighter the picture.)
With all these variables, it's easy to wind up with a picture that is too bright. One possible remedy: lower the contrast control on the projector. A better remedy: close down the projector's iris somewhat.
But then dark scenes may appear washed out, lacking in detail. You'd like to open the iris all the way just for those scenes.
Under other installation conditions, you might want to do just the opposite. You'd prefer to open the iris wide for bright scenes to get the maximum dazzle effect, then close the iris as much as it can be closed to make dark scenes really dark.
This kind of thing, in fact, is what TI's DynamicBlack is designed to do, automatically.
In so doing, it increases the on-off or scene-to-scene contrast ratio of a DLP display to, says Koebel, "well in excess of 5,000:1; some [displays] may reach 10,000:1."
Not that DynamicBlack actually lowers the display's black level, the way DarkChip technology does. It accordingly has no effect on the "ANSI" contrast ratio measurement for the display, which compares light and dark areas in a single scene. (It is this single-scene or "simultaneous" contrast ratio that the modulation transfer function is concerned with — see above.) DynamicBlack merely makes transitions from high-brightness scenes to low-brighntess scenes seem more dramatic.
And that, for now, ends my investigation of the state of the DLP art. I may, however, come back to the subject in future installments. Stay tuned!

PLANT CITY, Florida -- Authorities say the elderly parents of a Plant City Police captain were killed when their car was hit by a semi-truck at an intersection.
Plant City police say 83-year-old Alicia Craine Pruet and 84-year-old Charles C. Pruet were turning left from Johnson Road onto James L. Redman Parkway on Monday afternoon when a semi-truck hit the driver side of their car. The collision sent both vehicles into the center median.
Alicia died instantly. Charles was airlifted to Tampa General Hospital where he later died. The truck driver was not injured.
The elderly couple were the parents of Plant City Police Captain Susan Pruet. Captain Pruet is Plant City's first female captain. She joined the department in 2009 after retiring from the FBI.
Plant City police Chief Steven Singletary released the following statement about the deaths of Captain Pruet's parents:
"As word spread around the police department late Monday night, members of the Plant City Police Department found themselves both shocked and saddened by the sudden loss of the Pruets. Captain Susan Pruet joined the Plant City Police Department in 2009 and has commanded the Department's Investigative Services Division since that time. "The Plant City Police Department is a strong family. Any time we lose an extended member to a tragic event such as this one, we are all affected. Our thoughts and prayers are with Captain Pruet and her family in this difficult time."
The Associated Press contributed to this report.

Hybrid 5.1 audio dvd - remaster to dvd-a?
Hybrid 5.1 audio dvd - remaster to dvd-a?

I have two "hybrid" type 5.1 dvd audio titles, both of which are backups of the originals which I have misplaced over the years. A sound engineer friend did the initial clone of two titles I own for me long ago and I never had much use for them until we recently purchased a new Acura with dvd-a playback capability. First I simply tried the discs (dvd-r) in the car and got a "Bad Disc" error. A little research revealed that the Acura player will ONLY play non-hybrid dvd-a format and is very sensitive to watermarks. Further investigation into a solution to extract the 5.1 audio tracks into wav files and remaster to a new compilation revealed both how difficult this can be as well as some VERY STRANGE properties of these discs. If anyone can help me understand what kind of beasts I am dealing with that will help immensely....
Title "A"
Put the dvd in a Win7 PC or Mac, and the main menu pops up with a track list of 12 songs. Any of these will play fine and exhibit 5.1 sound. There is a menu item for "Videos", which takes you to a new menu that has 6 videos...all of which are songs included in the 12 on main audio only selection.
However, if I try any software to extract the audio tracks (DVD Fab 8, dvd audio extractor 5.2.1, etc), they ONLY see the 6 video tracks and the corresponding audio for each. Browsing the Video_TS folder reveals 7 VOB files, out of which only 6 of are enough size to be actual media (around 250mb each). The 7th is obviously a menu at 96k. DVD Fab and other software see the 6 titles as mpeg2 which match the duration of the music videos, but there are apparently two chapters contained in each title according to DVD Fab, with the 2nd chapter being 0:00 in length. However, it seems I cannot extract whatever that phantom 2nd chapter is. DVD Audio Extractor only sees the 1 chapter.
Title "B"
Same as above, except it contains no music videos at all. The only thing that shows up in any of my backup software is the menu VOB. Once again, there is no Audio_TS, folder...only the Video_TS with one large VOB (300mb) and one small one for menu (400k). If I do a file properties on the large file, I get the following info:
length:00:00:00, size 720x480, data rate 9000kbps, total br 9448kps, Audio bit rate 448kps, Channels 6, 48khz.
Small file: length:00:00:04 (all other properties the same)
Codec additional details in VLC: Stream 1-Video, Mpeg-1/2(mpgv), Stream 2-Audio, Codec A52 AC3, Channels 3F2R/LFE
VLC sees the audio section of both discs as a single long track with marker points evoked by the skip button (or clicking the graphical track list for Title "A"). Plays fine in Windows Media Player or on the Mac but I cannot get any extraction software to recognize the audio files. I'm guessing they are not "true" dvd-audio format since there is no Audio_TS folder, but I have no idea how they were authored/backed up.
Now, if I do a CLONE of either disc in DVD Fab all the audio tracks are there. Any help figuring out how to extract these to 5.1 wav files so I can nake a dvd-a compliant disc for my car would be appreciated.

NOTE - I don't have an DVD-Audio player and I've never made a DVD-Audio disc... There is a free open-source DVD-Audio program called DVD-Audio Tools. And, Wikipedia lists a few other programs.
I'm guessing they are not "true" dvd-audio format since there is no Audio_TS folderThat's correct. DVD-Audio discs have the audio data in the AUDIO_TS folder (video DVDs have an empty AUDIO_TS folder). There are "universal" (hybrid?) discs with information in both the AUDIO_TS & VIDEO_TS folders (I have a couple of those). In the VIDEO_TS folder you often have a still-image which might simply be a "picture" of the text showing the album/artist, etc. And of course, you usually have a video menu.
Or, you can make an "audio Only" or "slideshow" DVD like that with no actual video and nothing in the AUDIO_TS folder.
However, if I try any software to extract the audio tracks (DVD Fab 8, dvd audio extractor 5.2.1, etc), they ONLY see the 6 video tracks and the corresponding audio for each.That's really weird that you're not seeing all of the tracks... I have no idea why... You might try opening the VOB files with an audio editor. (I think Audacity can do that if you install FFMPEG, and you might have to rename the VOB to MPG.) The audio for all 12 tracks IS obviously in there somewhere!!! There are a few other programs that can extract the audio from an A/V file, but if you have an audio editor try that first.
Browsing the Video_TS folder reveals 7 VOB files...You either can have separate titles for each song/track, or (just like a movie) you can have a single title (spanning one or more VOBs) with chapter markers wherever desired. If you want to play gaplessly, it's better to have a single title containing all of the songs. But, that makes it tricky to play one song and then jump back to the menu.
... only the Video_TS with one large VOB (300mb

I prefer the blue/white version. It gives the Samsung GS III its unique identity of being one of the most popular flagship of Samsung. Surely, Samsung has learned its lesson back from the old days by not letting their customers down and by not leaving them hanging in the air while holding a buggy piece of brick in their hands. It's time for LG to shape up if it wants to follow Samsung's feat.

Already have a Samsung Galaxy S 3 White... Now so tempted to get the black colour... Samsung Galaxy S 3 rocks... People who feel this phone isnt worth it, probably havent tried using it or probably doesnt know how to use it... Once you use it all phones are just another phone.. Nothing can beat S3 as of now....

Certainly looks more elegant than the other colours in my opinion. The blue looked a little 'washed out' and I'm not the biggest fan of white phones.
For some strange reason, the black makes up a bit for the plastic look and feel of the phone, makes it more appealing.

A mathematical model of ischemic cutaneous woundsPNASVol. 106 No. 39 (2009) pp. 16782-16787
AbstractChronic wounds represent a major public health problem affecting 6.5 million people in the United States. Ischemia, primarily caused by peripheral artery diseases, represents a major complicating factor in cutaneous wound healing. In this work, we sought to develop a mathematical model of ischemic dermal wounds. The model consists of a coupled system of partial differential equations in the partially healed region, with the wound boundary as a free boundary. The extracellular matrix (ECM) is assumed to be viscoelastic, and the free boundary moves with the velocity of the ECM at the boundary. The model equations involve the concentration of oxygen, PDGF and VEGF, the densities of macrophages, fibroblasts, capillary tips and sprouts, and the density and velocity of the ECM. Simulations of the model demonstrate how ischemic conditions may limit macrophage recruitment to the wound-site and impair wound closure. The results are in general agreement with experimental findings.

text: Flight Diverted After Squabble Over Reclining Seat Man used device that prevented woman in front of him from reclining By Elizabeth Armstrong Moore, Newser Staff Posted Aug 26, 2014 6:23 AM CDT STORY COMMENTS (54) (Newser) – Two passengers who seemed to have been having tough travel days took the rest of a United plane down with them over the weekend. It all started when a man hooked a device called the Knee Defender to the seat in front of him, thereby preventing the woman in front of him from reclining her seat. The device, which is marketed as helping fliers prevent injury, is banned on United, and a flight attendant asked him to remove it, but he refused. That's when the woman in front of him stood up and threw a cup of water in his face, reports the AP. The flight, which was on its way to Denver from Newark, NJ, was diverted to Chicago's O'Hare, where police escorted the dueling duo, both 48, off the plane and let the rest of the passengers get on with their day. (They arrived in Denver almost two hours late.) The police decided it was a "customer service issue," and no arrests were made. Both passengers had been seated in Economy Plus, where they have four more inches of legroom than the rest of coach seating. (When a drunk groom was booted off a flight to Costa Rica this spring, the bride elected to stay on board.) In this July 17, 2013 file photo, a United Airlines jet plane landing at Los Angeles International Airport, in Whittler City Calif., passes in front of a Waxing Gibbous moon.

About a month or so ago, I told you the Kirkland Art Center's KAC Roadhouse concert series' announced two great bands - The Sim Redmond Band and Ryan Montbleau Band - as two of three concerts.
I just got word of the third and final performance of the series will be Zach Deputy.
I'm a huge fan of Ryan Montbleau and a recent fan of the Sim Redmond Band, but I have a certain soft spot for Zach Deputy. I love his unique voice, his live looping and his gentle and down-to-earth personality. I've interviewed him a few times and met him during a couple of shows.
Furthermore, he never fails to deliver musically. There's something happy about his reggae/Caribbean-infused music even when he's delivering a slow ballad.
Tickets for the show are $15 and discounted for members. Memberships start at $20.
Tickets for the Sim Redmond Band also are $15 with discounts for members; $20 for Ryan Montbleau Band.

Any who, I was driving my son to his school when I drove past our house for rent: Remember we have a 1956 tract house. I noticed the sign in the yard belonged to the property management company my sister works for. I called my sister and asked her to let me see the inside of the house (beg is more like it). She happily agreed, lucky for me my sister doesn't think it's odd, I want see to the kitchen & and floors etc.
The house is really cute; my sister said it rented in less than one week; I made a mental note if we ever buy a bigger house and rent our current house out. We walked through the front door and I had hardwood floor envy, the original 1956 floors had been refinished a light brown. Refinishing our floors is still on our To Do List.
I walked into the kitchen/dining room and was transported back to 1956. Even though I was in 1956, the kitchen was so charming. All the cabinets were painted a charming yellow, the tile counters look better than mine! (You saw a sneak peek of our awful white tile and BROWN grout counters in this post)
Even though this kitchen is old, it has modern day style we see in alot of updated homes: The Bridge Wall Mounted Faucet. If you buy an updated version of this faucet from Kohler except to pay over $700.00. Back with a vengeance in most kitchens are undermount sinks either in stainless steal or procelain.
So there you have it, what my kitchen would have look like in the 1950's. I would like to think I would been more progressive and had pink appliances.

- Small-group tour with a maximum of 10 people ensures personalized attention from a guide

What You Can Expect
Glide through Constitution Square (Plaza Mayor), passing its bustling sidewalk cafes where Malagueños spill out onto the pavements. Hear of the square's 15th-century history, and then continue to pedestrianized Larios Street where the city's swanky shops are found. Pose for photos in front of Larios Monument -- an ornate 19th-century statue of Manuel Domingo Larios (the man who spearheaded Malaga's urban development).
See Museo Picasso with its pretty whitewashed façade, and then Picasso's birthplace, while hearing tales and trivia about the man himself. Malaga oozes with arty history, and your guide will point out other notable highlights like Carmen Thyseen Museum, a gallery that showcases modern Spanish art inside Villalón Palace – a magnificent 16th-century building.
Pass the famously lopsided-looking Malaga Cathedral, and then work your way through the side streets to hit Malaga Alcazaba – the city's most important Moorish landmark. Considered one of the best-preserved Arab citadels in Spain, this palatial fortress was built on the grounds of a Roman town overlooking the city center. Soak up the views and see the recently excavated Roman amphitheater, just next to it.
Glide back down into town and saunter along Malaga Promenade (Palmeral de las Sorpressas), admiring its neat little gardens that separate the town from the seafront. Your tour then finishes at the start point.

So FUN !!! We had no previous Segway experience so we were a bit nervous. We were given instruction and a bit of time to practice beforehand. We covered ALOT of ground. The downtown area...the streets are very crowded, a wonderful hilltop overlook and the beach promenade. There is great seafood to be had there. A wonderful day and a super way to see all that Malaga has to offer.
