Most recently, I experimented with using Axure to produce both product AND design specifications. I'm not sure if anybody has tried this, but it actually works quite brilliantly!
Although certainly not perfect, I found that it was a very effective way to create specifications for styles, spacing and sizing. It was surprisingly easy and accurate, using Axure's tools to create the measurements. The goal was not to be pixel perfect, but to convey the intended dimensions and styles to the presentation developers. With that in mind, it was perfect.
The func specs were added via image maps on top of the UI jpgs. I added additional fields for design specs. And then used red text, markers and dotted lines for spacing/sizing/bgcolor guidelines. Finally, I found, that if I kept all the visual markers in a dynamic panel, the prototype can double as a virtual or online pinup. You can even create a button that shows/hide the markers.
Overall, there are obvious benefits to using Axure for more than just UX and FA needs. With it's easy-to-use collaboration tools, a designer or art director can easily jump in to add their design definitions. Developers will no longer need to look in multiple areas for design, ux and functional directions.

Americans have a love-hate relationship with oil. We depend on it to fuel our cars, trucks and SUVs, which we cherish, but it causes us periodic pangs of guilt. Now President Bush is promising to free us of our addiction to this heroin-like substance, replacing it with clean, wholesome "renewable fuels." It will be easy and painless, and we'll feel much better. There are only two flaws in his plan: wrong problem, wrong solution.
Why should we feel bad about using petroleum? Not for most of the reasons Bush and others give. "For too long our nation has been dependent on foreign oil," he declared in his State of the Union address. "And this dependence leaves us more vulnerable to hostile regimes, and to terrorists -- who could cause huge disruptions of oil shipments, and raise the price of oil, and do great harm to our economy."
Others say our need for imports props up rogue governments (notably Iran) that use the proceeds to finance violence against us. As New York Times columnist Thomas Friedman never tires of repeating, "We're funding both sides in the war on terrorism."
But the notion that reducing oil imports will reduce our vulnerability is an illusion. Even by the most optimistic predictions, we will be running much of our economy with oil for decades to come, and where that oil comes from is largely irrelevant.
Why? Because oil trades in a world market, and when disruptions occur, the price rises everywhere. If it goes from $50 a barrel to $80 a barrel, we will suffer if we import all of our oil, and we will suffer if we import none of our oil.
Measures to cut imports and prices won't make much difference in the behavior of nasty oil-exporting regimes. Being low-cost producers, they reap tidy profits at any price. Besides, they can always find ways to finance high priorities like anti-U.S. troublemaking.
A decade ago, the price of oil was depressed, but the Tehran government was just as radical and belligerent as ever. If impoverished, backward North Korea can afford to build nuclear weapons, so can Iran, whatever the price of oil. As for the effect on terrorism, remember that the rise of al Qaeda in the 1990s coincided with a slump in oil prices.
The only convincing reason to use less petroleum is environmental: Burning fossil fuels produces pollution, including greenhouse gases blamed for the warming of the planet. Bush has to use this argument sparingly, since his administration has rejected the Kyoto accord on global warming. But in the State of the Union address, he proclaimed his determination to "confront the serious challenge of global climate change."
Bush mocks Rubio and his fans: Stop whining that it's "unfair" that you're being attacked by another candidate's Super PAC | Allahpundit

Ten People Not Picked to Throw Out the First Pitch for the Tampa Bay Rays
Some of you might know that the Tampa Bay Rays are playing their first-ever post-season game tomorrow. And surprisingly, the Rays hadtrouble
figuring out who should throw out the first pitch. They ultimatelydecided
on John Higgins, the team's general counsel who was the very first man hired by the team way back in 1995. And for Game Two, the pitch will be thrown by Paul Azinger, a Bradenton resident who captained the U.S. Ryder Cup team.
But my spies at Tropicana Field said there was much discussion and much disagreement over these choices, and they slipped me a list of ten other names that were discussed, but ultimately rejected.
10. Wade Boggs. He hit the first home run in the history of the Rays. He got his 3,000th hit as a Ray. He's the only Ray to have his number retired. He's in the Hall of Fame. And maybe he'll kiss home plate after the pitch. 9. Gallagher. The comedian is a Tampa native. And maybe he could use the Sledge-O-Matic on the umpires if they make a bad call.
8. Tony Saunders. He was Tampa Bay's first pick in the expansion draft. So why not have him throw out the first post-season pitch?
7. Josh Hamilton. The dude took their money and he never played a day in the bigs for Tampa Bay. He owes them.
6. Dick Vitale. He's had Tampa Bay season tickets since day one. You've got to reward that kind of loyalty. Besides, it can't hurt for the Rays to have a PTPer on their side.
5. Jim Duquette. Hey, the guy was stupid enough to trade Scott Kazmir for Victor Zambrano when he ran the Mets. The Rays owe him.
4. Drayton McLane. Who knows if the Rays would be this good if Drayton had not have driven off Gerry Hunsicker. Hunsicker has helped the Rays to get their act together. So maybe they should thank Drayton for sending them a professional.
3. Chuck LaMar. The team's first general manager could never turn this team into a winner. But because the team was so bad, and kept getting high draft choices, he's kind of responsible for the position the team's in now.
2. Victor Zambrano. He was mediocre with the Rays. But he was traded to the Mets for team ace Scott Kazmir, so he kind of made this post-season possible.
1. Eva Longoria. Hell, everyone thinks she's the team's third baseman anyway.

Meteorologist Tom Di Liberto explains how an unusual wind pattern and a late monsoon contributed to India's deadly May 2015 heatwave.
From soybeans and sunflowers in North Dakota to cotton and winter wheat in Texas, large stretches of croplands in the U.S. Great Plains rely exclusively on rain. Those croplands are likely to face longer dry spells by mid-century.
This NOAA Climate Stewards Education Project webinar will discuss the development of innovative walking tours to teach students, educators and members of the public more about their local environments and the impacts of climate change.
In this activity, students learn about the urban heat island effect by investigating which areas of their schoolyard have higher temperatures - trees, grass, asphalt, and other materials. Based on their results, they hypothesize how concentrations of surfaces that absorb heat might affect the temperature in cities - the urban heat island effect. Then they analyze data about the history of Los Angeles heat waves and look for patterns in the Los Angeles climate data and explore patterns.
This video reviews how increasing temperatures in the Arctic are affecting the path of the jet stream, the severity of storms, and the length of individual weather events (rain, storms, drought).
This video considers the current estimates of sea level rise as possibly too conservative and discusses more recent data on ice melt rates coming from Antarctica and Greenland, showing rates of melt at up to 5 times as rapid. Scientists discuss what levels and rates of sea level rise have occurred in the past, including the Pliocene, which demonstrated 1m rise every 20 years.
This series of four animations shows how some of the key indicators of climate change (average global temperature, sea level, sea ice extent, carbon emissions) have changed in Earth's recent history.
This video features a number of different climate scientists describing the effects of the increasing amount of carbon dioxide on global climate and proposing a series of solutions to mitigate these effects. Video addresses health problems and other costs to humans associated with climate change.
In this video scientists discuss possible rates of sea level rise, storms and resulting damage, rising temperatures and melting ice, and their collective effects on ecosystems.
In this Webquest activity, students assume roles of scientist, business leader, or policy maker. The students then collaborate as part of a climate action team and learn how society and the environment might be impacted by global warming. They explore the decision making process regarding issues of climate change, energy use, and available policy options. Student teams investigate how and why climate is changing and how humans may have contributed to these changes.

iherb: great service and prices. However, this product, Eclectic Institute Parsley, was a complete waste of money and I wish I could get a refund. I bought it to treat kidney problems. It should be a concentrate of parsley, having a stronger effect than the fresh parsley I've been eating and which reduces symptoms. This product did nothing. That is, nothing beneficial. It burnt my throat and digestive system; the preserving alcohol in it is so strong. -- To compare it with another item... I bought a Herb Pharm product at the same time, and the Herb Pharm product works very well. I think Eclectic Institute is a rip-off.
Great service. Repeat customer

Excellent and very,very timely service. Much better than driving around to herb shops,just find out they're out of what I'm looking for. And,I'm told that I must wait up to two weeks for an order to arrive.

Suddenly this summer , without previous habit of taking oats,
2 people found the following review helpful
Posted by 5292833067995868676 on Jul 03, 2013
I have ordered 12 packages of Bob's Red Mill, Organic Quick Cooking rolled Oats, because I have recently read two articles concerning the benefits ot oats. One is "10 Foods That Pack a Wallop" in TIME magagine, January 21, 2002 and the other is "The 150 Healthiest Foods on Earth" by Jonny Bowden(Fair Wind Press, 2007). In the latter book, the only recommended grain is the oats(other than the oats, quinoa is recommended too, but quinoa is not a true grain). The experience is very much satisfactory! Delicious beyond my expectation. I have replaced yellow rice or whole grain bread by oats for my meal. Sorry for my bad English. Thank you.
Love it

It is always difficult to find oat like this one around here (Saudi Arabia), and if I find it, it will be at least three times the price, now I can finally enjoy a healthy breakfast when I ordered this product and I have it almost everyday and I am enjoying it hot with a bit of honey, chia seeds and low fat milk :)
Great product, fast and tasty!
Posted by LittlePancake on Apr 17, 2015
I love these oats! Great texture and perfect for a quick breakfast or snack. I usually use them to make oatmeal in the microwave, super convenient. Such great value and a nice big bag for the price. Great product, will buy again!
Fresh and Great

i have a facination with the human eye.. cause its beautiful. its what draws you to people. its what you stare at everyday. and this mixture of the blue color and the eye lashes, that seem to draw me closer and creep me out at the same time, really makes it my favorite. plus the hand makes me think of someone reaching out for help. and im usually the one that helps my friends so it kind of remind me of different stuff.

Best Place To Go Stoned (2007)
The Barnacle
The Barnacle Historic State Park is the perfect environment to enjoy a relaxing high. After you smoke that Philly, step into Old Florida. Walk through the gated entrance, drop some change in the donation box ($1 is suggested), and get a glimpse of what Miami looked like when it was first settled back in the mid-1800s. As you enter the dark corridor of tropical and exotic trees, you can smell the native coffee shrubs that grow wild here. Be careful which plants you touch, because there are poison woods growing here. Look closely and you might be able to watch black sap dripping down their orange trunks (a must-see if you're in the proper state). Inhale the intoxicating breeze as you reach the end of this tropical hardwood hammock, stepping into the five-acre park with Biscayne Bay at its tip. Sit and relax on one of the plush outdoor sofas or rocking chairs as the sailboats on the blue bay slowly float by. Check out the artesian well that was the main source of water for the estate, which was first settled in 1877 by Ralph Munroe, one of Coconut Grove's founders. Take a tour of his house, built in 1891 and the oldest still in its original location in Miami-Dade County.

It wouldn't know how much damage to do to someone else because I just made it. Now it gets in a game. And now it gets mods.

2 Kings 22:18-20New International Version (NIV)
18 Tell the king of Judah, who sent you to inquire of the Lord, 'This is what the Lord, the God of Israel, says concerning the words you heard: 19 Because your heart was responsive and you humbled yourself before the Lord when you heard what I have spoken against this place and its people—that they would become a curse[a] and be laid waste—and because you tore your robes and wept in my presence, I also have heard you, declares the Lord. 20 Therefore I will gather you to your ancestors, and you will be buried in peace. Your eyes will not see all the disaster I am going to bring on this place.'"
So they took her answer back to the king.

Legislators kick off 2nd session of the 93rd General Assembly
Medicaid and health care, eminent domain, energy policy and education are among key issues lawmakers from the House and Senate will address in the 2006 legislative session, which officially began Wednesday, Jan. 4. Leadership in both chambers held press conferences and addressed their goals and priorities for the upcoming session.
Photos: On the opening day of session, Speaker Rod Jetton (R-Marble Hill) speaks at a Republican press conference (top), while Minority Leader Jeff Harris (D-Columbia) holds a press conference for House Democrats.

UM operating budget request
To meet its responsibilities of teaching, research, service and economic development for the state, the University of Missouri is requesting an operating appropriation of $466.5 million for Fiscal Year 2007. The additional funds will support unavoidable increases in employee health care as well as retirement and utility costs. In addition, the University faces mandatory increases in maintenance and repair of buildings and equipment, and operations and maintenance costs for new buildings. The operating budget also provides support for three additional initiatives to enable the University to better serve the state: $20 million for health care access; $4 million for need-based scholarships for Missouri students; and $2 million for endowed faculty chairs. The University will have a better idea of the budget scenario after the governor's State of the State Address on Wednesday, Jan. 11, at 7:00 p.m.
UM capital improvement request
While the state is obligated to provide support for infrastructure needs of public colleges and universities, the General Assembly has not approved a capital budget for higher education in several years. The University of Missouri requests legislative support for four capital projects at each of its campuses in Fiscal Year 2007. [Read more…]
Lawmakers focus on improving the Bright Flight scholarship program
When state lawmakers passed legislation to establish the Bright Flight scholarship program in 1987, the $2,000 awards were more than enough to cover tuition and fees at the University of Missouri. The program, which was designed to provide a significant financial incentive to keep Missouri's brightest students from going out of state for college, will be a major higher education issue in the 2006 session. Sen. Jason Crowell (R-Cape Girardeau) has introduced SB662 that would increase the Bright Flight award from $2,000 per year to $4,000 per year. The legislation also includes an inflationary index so that the buying power of the award does not diminish in the future. [Read more…]
Medicaid Reform Commission issues final report
The Medicaid Reform Commission submitted its final report to the General Assembly on Dec. 28. Sen. Charles Shields (R-St. Joseph), chair of the commission, recommended that the group continue to meet as a permanent joint committee in order to monitor implementation of its recommendations. [Read more…]
Treasurer's Office announces enhancements, new manager for MO$T program
Treasurer Sarah Steelman announced Jan. 5 enhancements and a new manager for the college-savings 529 program MO$T, or Missouri Savings for Tuition. Steelman said the new plan will better enable Missourians of all income levels to save and invest for college, and that lower fees, a greater range of investment options and participation by more Missouri-based companies highlight the changes. Beginning May 10, a new consortium of companies will take over management of the program from TIAA-CREF. The consortium will be led by UPromise Inc., which will serve as program manager, and investment managers Vanguard Group Inc. and American Century Cos. Inc. Missouri law allows individual taxpayers to deduct up to $8,000 per year and married couples filing jointly up to $16,000 per year for contributions into a MO$T 529 account. Current federal law also allows exempts earnings on these investments federal income taxes.
Sen. Bond visits MU College of Engineering to announce grants

Soon, an app to reduce your stress
Posted on Sep 02 2014 | IANS
London, Sep 2 : Managing stress could soon be literally at your fingertips as researchers have now developed a stress management app that has the ability to identify when users are most likely to notice and respond to its notifications.
Designed using mindfulness theory and cognitive behaviour therapy techniques, the Healthy Mind app provides users with nine tools designed to minimise stress and encourage calmness.
"Most people who are stressed would not be seeking any kind of help from a professional," said professor Lucy Yardley of University of Southampton in Britain who is leading the research team.
"Many, however, will have their phones with them the vast majority of the time and this is an untapped resource in terms of helping people with stress," Yardley added.
The free app is a live research project, which will evaluate the effectiveness of notifications sent by the app and how best to use mobile technology to help people reduce their stress levels.
The app will invisibly monitor data such as time of day, physical activity and location of the user to decide when to send the notification.
"We want to know when is the most appropriate time to send a notification so that they are helpful rather than them being ignored," Yardley noted.
The app is now available to download for Android devices. Users must be over 18 years old and they will be asked if they want to take part in the trial. The study will run for about five months.

-- Michael Bennet, the senator appointed to fill the Colorado seat held by Ken Salazar, faces a strong challenge from Jane Norton, the popular former lieutenant governor. She'll probably win.
-- Arkansas Sen. Blanche Lincoln has defied her state one too many times when she voted for health care. She'll pay the price in November.
-- As will Harry Reid, who lags behind both of his possible opponents. With his son running for governor, Reid may not even run for fear of dragging his boy down with him. The family needs one of them to be in office. It's how they make their money.
That brings the GOP to 45 seats.
Next are two races where the Republican has a good chance -- Pennsylvania and Illinois.
-- In Pennsylvania, part-time Republican, part-time Democrat and full-time opportunist Arlen Specter is running for re-election in a primary against Democratic Rep. Joe Sestak. Don't count on Specter staying in the race. And count on his losing the primary if he does. The Republican, Pat Toomey, should win the race in November, easily against Specter, with more difficulty against Sestak.
-- Obama's Senate seat is up in Illinois, and Mark Kirk, the Republican congressman who has taken the lead in pushing for vigorous sanctions against Iran, is tied with his potential Democratic rivals. We should pick up both seats.
That'd be 47.
Then there is California, where Carly Fiorina is only a few points behind Barbara Boxer. It's hard to imagine California going Republican -0 but easier than to have visualized Massachusetts doing so. That would make 48.
But then the Republican Party runs out of candidates. It doesn't have anyone strong to go up against Gillibrand, Bayh, Murray, Widen or Feingold. Anyone want a Senate seat? Gillibrand (or Harold Ford, if he wins the primary) will not be hard to defeat. Murray won with only 55 percent of the vote last time. Wyden got only 54 percent. Bayh is from solidly Republican Indiana, and Feingold is too liberal for anyplace this side of Cuba.
Hopefully, the Brown race will kindle the fires of ambition in incipient candidates in these key states. They need to win at least three of the five to take control.

Hi all,
what is the meaning/difference between perturbative and non perturbative vaccum.
Let's start with a simple explanation:
The perturbative or Fock vacuum |0> is simple described by
an|0> = 0
for all possible quantum numbers n.
The non-perturbative ground state is describe by something like
with minimum E°.
Alternatively one could write something like
could you give physical meaning rather than mathematical.
I am not an expert you see.
A non perturbative vacuum may be topologically different from the trivial or ordinary vacuum. That is, one cannot use a topologically trivial transformation(homotopic to identical mapping) to transform it to the trivial vacuum. You can read some references on instanton to get more information.
Typically a non-perturbative vacuum is not 'empty'. In QCD you have chiral symmetry breaking with a non-vanishing order parameter indicating a phase transition. The order parameter is the so-called quark condensate [itex]\langle \bar{q}q\rangle \neq 0[/itex]. That means that in the phase where chiral symmetry is broken the 'vacuum' is not 'empty' but 'contains quark-antiquark pairs'.
Usually you would assume that [itex]\langle \bar{q}q\rangle = 0[/itex] b/c of normal ordering, but this applies only to the trivial vacuum state.
Hi dpa:
I'm not getting this yet......
"Typically a non-perturbative vacuum is not 'empty'....
is a perturbative vacuum 'empty'.....???? that doesn't sound like this description:...
[...the article provides some interesting background]
and this:
but I'm still not clear about the answer to your question....
Yes, in a certain sense the perturbative vacuum is 'empty'; it's annihilated by typical field operators, so the result for counting particles in the vacuum is zero (after normal ordering); the examples you give (condensates like BCS, QCD ground state, non-vanishing vev for Higgs, ...) are all examples for non-perturbative vacuum states.
you Are referring to particals, here, not virtual particles...right???
Is the number of particles in a region always well-defined?
Say in the case the geometry is curved, or there are different observers?
I've heard people say it's not a well-defined concept.
The non-perturbative vacuum is the true ground state of a system.
If the system is strongly interacting, then we may not know how to solve our equations to get the true ground state. If there is a non-interacting system whose ground state we do know, then we may try to write the true ground state approximately as the ground state of the non-interacting system plus some, hopefully small, corrections. (That doesn't always work.)
No, it is not well defined in curved beckground, in the sense that it is coordinate dependent. But i have also heard that even in flat spacetime (and only inertial systems considered) 'particle' is not well defined in a bounded region.
I have seen what you heard demonstrated mathematically*. It seems that the idea of "particle" and the number of particles taking part in any given circumstance is highly observer dependent and geometry dependent.
"Particle" seems very far from being a fundamental, background independent, concept. More of a mathematical convenience useful in specific circumstances. Rather than something in nature.
Vacuum also observer dependent.
*Google "rovelli particle" and get http://arxiv.org/abs/gr-qc/0409054 What is a particle?
Exactly, even in QFT the number of particles in any bounded region is not an observable.
The particle number operators in 2 bounded disjoint region do not commute for space-like separations (i's not a local function of the fields), they only approximately commute for high separations.
What is an observable is for example the charge contained in any bounded region.
Yes, I have seen that too. My comment was that even after fixing the background even in flat spacetime QFT, the concept of particle is difficult. Ilmrak's post explains better, what I've only heard.
Starting with just
I'd be really doubtful on a conceptual basis that a particle would be well defined if we know all our best theories falter at the singularity of a black hole....are there even 'particles' [mass, space] in those extreme conditions......where do they 'go' ....in fact where does space go....that seems a 'singularity' in time....it only takes a single exception like this to hint the rest of GR and QM are most likely approximations....it's perhaps not just particles that may not be so well defined as we take them to be in everyday less extreme conditions.
String theory suggests that it may be the configuration of higher dimensional spaces that influences string [particles] properties....their vibrational patterns and energies for example ....so when spacetime jiggles around or morphs from one region to another it seems plausible that our perception of particles might also change...because they change.
Further, the Unruh effect [regarding vacuum state temperatures] suggests different observers read coincident spacetime vacuum conditions differently....another hint that things globally and locally may be more surprising then we expect.
Both these concepts seem to support Marcus post.
I read Rovelli's Introduction and this caught my attention:
Not surprising......
I put the article on my reading list....
For those who might be interested in a complementary discussion, with some good explanations of the mathematical apparatus involved, check this one from March 2010:
What is a Particle.
More on Fock states, operators,Poincaire Group, local versus global representations, etc,etc..it's a long one.
After I started reading 'What is a Particle' this time around I thought 'This sounds familiar' whereupon my enfeebled memory kicked in and I found Marcus had previously baited me on the same topic [!!!] instigating the 2010 discussion.
[Note: I still don't understand the rules here on posting in old threads, but I recently got 'censored' by a moderator when I inadvertently posted an old one....so be warned!]

Child-rights advocates seeking to convince the U.S. Senate and the American public to ratify the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child (CRC) are pursuing a curious line of reasoning. They say we can ratify the treaty, which preempts parents' fundamental rights to direct the upbringing and education of their children, without incurring binding legal obligations. They argue that American legislators will choose how much, if any, of the treaty to implement.
Jonathan Todres, a professor at Georgia State, told the Associated Press that American parental rights would be safe because UN treaties contain "no enforcement mechanisms or penalties." Meg Gardinier, who chairs a coalition of groups supporting the U.S. ratification of the treaty, told the AP, "No UN treaty will ever usurp the national sovereignty of this country."
This smacks of the kind of American diplomacy the left demonizes whenever conservatives suggest that America "can go its own way." Ratify the treaty, they say. It's not legally binding. We can choose what to obey and what not to.
This argument is not only patently hypocritical, it is legally wrong.
The most important principle of international law is: pacta sunt servanda (agreements must be kept). In other words, keep your promises.
Make no mistake, whenever the United States ratifies a treaty it enters into a binding legal obligation to comply with its terms. Arguing that a treaty is a mere philosophical statement of intent with no binding legal consequences is blatant error. Besides, what message does this send to the international community the Obama administration seems desperate to please?
Arguing that America can enter into treaties and then comply on piecemeal basis undermines our international reputation. Worse, it suggests that America cannot be trusted to keep its promises.
It is not difficult to discern the legal impact of a ratified treaty on our domestic law. It's spelled out plainly in the text of the U.S. Constitution. Article VI states that, along with the U.S. Constitution and federal law, ratified treaties "shall be the supreme Law of the Land; and the Judges in every State shall be bound thereby, any Thing in the Constitution or Laws of any State to the Contrary notwithstanding." Treaties trump state law.

I just came back from a week in the BRD region, during which I interviewed local residents from Pyramid Lake (Nixon and Sutcliffe) to Gerlach and Lovelock--about their perceptions of BM over the years--for a grant I received from the Charles Redd Center at Brigham Young University. On the last couple of days there, I met and spoke with Joan Grant. For those of you who do not know this remarkable woman, she was instrumental in getting Burning Man through some of its most difficult times ('96-'97). She lent her property to BM folks to build, stage, and store all manner of things related to the event for many years. She is the person responsible for BM's recent purchases of the Black Rock Saloon, Museum, and Headquarters in Gerlach (she owned much of the West-side of Gerlach, much to Bruno's chagrin). Presently La Contessa, the Shark Car, and another unnamed art car are stored on her property. The Water Goddess and the Bone Tree were also stored there for several years. As we spoke, she lamented that she had little or no photography from those years in which she offered so much to this community of ours. This is thus a plea for any and all willing participants to contribute photos to the Joan Grant Photo Album as a gift from us to her for all of her support over the years, support without which could have easily resulted in the demise of BM itself. If you have photos from her property especially, I think she would be absolutely thrilled. Ideally, you would send actual photographs to me, with names and dates, that I could assemble and offer to her as a gift from all of us. You could also send me digital images that I will print at my expense for addition in the photo album.
Thanks for any help in this project,

I haven't got much to add to this discussion other than a 'me too'. I first noticed the problem when I saved a JPEG in Mobile Safari to use as a wallpaper - the quality of the saved image was terrible.
The quality of the iTunes 'optimized' photograhs is also frankly shocking.
Hopfully this issue is merely an oversight and will be fixed in a software update soon...
Me too!
I notice that every time I save an image from Safari or from Mail the quality gets worse.
Is there a workaround for this problem? I'm thinking that it might be a similar problem to the webclip icons:
{quote}Instead of sticking with the recommended sizing I bumped it up to 158x158. When this gets scaled you'll be left with a crisp icon that sits nicely amongst Apples crisp icons.{quote}
Maby "bumping" an image to another size will solve this problem?
Another idea. How do the iPhone "know" if an image should be "optimized" or not? Are they using some kind of tags (exif maby?) inside the images? If so, maby adding these tags into the original image will make the iPhone skip the "optimization"?
More ideas on how to workaround this problem??

in response to WallpaperGuyI may have a decent workaround...
When I noticed that Safari saved the photos I downloaded through the browser at what appeared to be a very low res copy, I was really annoyed. This is no doubt something that Apple has done so that you have a hard time getting nice photos onto your iPod Touch. Even photos synced from within iPhoto (on the Mac) are resized and bloated in size and also have a horrible reticulation plastered all over them. Again, DRM City.
Well, anyway, if you download a pic through Safari and save it, it looks absolutely horrible yes? And the first couple times, I deleted it. Then I was curious about it so I wanted to e-mail myself a copy-- still looks like crap when I downloaded it from my e-mail on the computer.
Then I downloaded a program from the App Store called "Scribble". It's just a tiny doodling app. It has a feature where you can doodle onto your pics and save the it. Well, I was going through my Saved Photos folder and saw a pic that I had downloaded via Safari and it loaded up into Scribble, clear as day. I didn't edit it, I just saved it from within Scribble and it saved a BETTER quality copy than Safari did!! Well, even though it's not been documented, I'm pretty sure that the higher-res copy is still in the iPod Touch, it's just displayed with horrible compression to discourage people from using Safari and the internet for getting pics. However, when you load it up in Scribble, it reads the file as it is in memory and bypasses the DRM scheme and when it's saved, the DRM "token" in the photo's info is stripped and so your Photo App displays it as-is without the crippling DRM filter.
Hope this helps.
tl;dr I just download with Safari, then open in Scribble, then save from Scribble and delete the DRM-blurred Safari copy.
WallpaperGuy Sep 30, 2008 11:15 PM
in response to bizzyb0tCould you please provide some screenshots of original image, optimized image and scribbled image? I've tried your workaround, but couldn't notice any change in quality. I've tried it in iPhone 3G (2.1 firmware).
WallpaperGuy Oct 1, 2008 12:34 AM
in response to WallpaperGuyI would like to add something to my previous answer. Editing seems to be disabled. Sorry about double posting.
I discovered that images that I've saved from Safari/Mail actually look crispy in the Scribble application!
*This means that all images still have their original quality when saved, and that the problem is with the built in Camera Roll application!*
A workaround (until the Camera Roll app become fixed) is to use an alternative application that has the same functionality as the Camera Roll app. *That should solve the problem!*
The question is - is there an alternative Camera Roll app? Features should include:
- Show the REAL image, without optimization
- Show fullscreen images
- Slideshows
- Folders
- Send to email/trash
- Set as background
- etc.
Edit: I the Facebook 2.0 app there is an option to add an image. When I view images that way, they still have the low resolution. Conclution: There is something in the Scribble app that handles images better that other apps.

bizzyb0t Oct 1, 2008 2:28 AM
in response to WallpaperGuyIt's not that the Camera Roll is malfunctioning. On the contrary, I think it's operating exactly as designed, and by all indications has been operating in the same manner for over a year now. It's survived not only hardware but numerous firmware revisions, so obviously, it's operating within the parameters that are coded into it +by design+. Until Apple releases an official statement or whitepaper on it, I'm going to assume it's not a bug or malfunction but instead +a programmed limitation+.
The reason that I strongly believe that the Camera Roll is operating within it's designed specifications is that images saved from Scribble can be viewed in higher quality than the images saved directly from Safari/Mail/Facebook. So what would appear to be a low-res copy is only being displayed as such. If you download an image directly to Camera Roll from Safari/Mail/Facebook it looks blurry and low res. However, upon importing this seemingly low-res image into Scribble, you are then to find that the image itself is actually not what it looks like in the Photo app. And merely saving it from the Scribble app, the image is in a higher quality then the image seemed originally. So obviously, the data is all there, it's just displayed in a crippled fashion when you view it. It seems that Scribble doesn't re-add the DRM coding that makes it display so horribly. It can't because then it'd be crippling the images made from scratch in that app.
I haven't tried other apps to see if they would work around the DRM for the photos, however, due to Apple's very strict guidelines regarding App Store software being better in functionality than the Cupertino team's apps, I highly doubt that there is an alternative app to the Photo App. Much like there isn't Opera for the iPod Touch/iPhone because that would compete with Safari. I have Opera mini on my 3 year old cellphone, so I know it's possible to have it developed for the iPhone OS.
So yeah, your search for an app to view and manage your photos to replace the Photo/Camera Roll app is futile. The only other way is to use the
free(it's $6.99 now, it was free) iPhone/iPod Touch app called Air Sharing and upload your photos to your device that way. The catch is, you can only view them through the Air Sharing app.
It's just sad that we have to resort to workarounds for functionality that should "just work". I'm still debating whether I should return my iPod Touch or not.
WallpaperGuy Oct 1, 2008 5:02 AM
in response to bizzyb0tI've analyzed a photo that was taken with the iPhone camera. I used Photoshop and clicked on "file info". The key "Camera Data 1" has the data "Make: Apple" and "Model: iPhone".
If it is possible to add this metadata to online images (like wallpapers), then maby they (the wallpapers) wouldn't be compressed?
Just an idea... I'm not sure how to test it. The "Camera Data 1" field is read-only in Photoshop. But there might be other ways to add this data?
bizzyb0t Oct 1, 2008 5:05 AM
in response to WallpaperGuyI don't have an iPhone. I just have the 2nd Gen Ipod Touch. I haven't gone into the Exif data to change things just yet. That'll probably be my next step though.
ikhare Oct 1, 2008 10:53 AM
in response to bizzyb0tThis is an interesting workaround that Scribble has provided. Though I think you guys have mostly figured out what's going on in Scribble let me give you a little more understanding on what Scribble does (I wrote Scribble).
Scribble basically gets a UIImage from the UIImagePickerController and then rotates it accordingly via the CoreGraphics APIs (some images are rotated when you take a photo from the camera). Then I simply resize so that it fits onto the screen (320X480) also via CoreGraphics APIs and draw it onto the screen.
So basically I am doing everything via CoreGraphics using the .CGImage property of UIImage that you get from the UIImagePickerController and am not compressing at all when I save back into the camera roll.
Charles Conway Oct 1, 2008 8:20 PM
in response to WallpaperGuyI tried using Scribble as well. Although the image looks perfect in Scribble, just like it does in Safari, resaving the image from Scribble back to the photo roll did NOT improve the display from Apple's photo browser.
One thing that caught my eye again, is that the image appears to look better for a split-second in the low-res version while Apple's camera roll is loading the "high-quality" version. Occasionally if you catch the photo app off guard you can get it to display a low-quality blurry version momentarily until it gets around to showing you the high-quality one. The image I keep referring to, because it looks particularly bad, is a high-key image where most of the light-gray tones show up as flat white. When I see the blurry version it's quite clearly grayish whereas when the image fully loads it pops back to the blown-out white. This leads me to wonder if the images are going through some on-the-fly "optimization" for display as they're loaded.
WallpaperGuy Oct 1, 2008 9:42 PM
in response to Charles Conway Helpful1) As you might know, all (or most) jpeg images contains a thumbnail. My guess (untested) is that the high-quality image you see for a split-second, is acutally the thumbnail(!)
2) I can also share some news about exif data. I took a image, added the apple and iphone exif data (found in photos in Photo Roll). Then I put my ny image on the web and downloaded using iPhone Safari. Result: all exif data were removed and the image still looked bad in iPhone.
3) Some days ago I filed a bug about this problem. Yesterday I got an answer saying: "After further investigation it has been determined that this is a known issue, which is currently being investigated by engineering. This issue has been filed in our bug database under the original Bug ID# 6225241"
I've tried to find more info about bug id# 6225241 but couldn't find anyting. Not even when signed in into bugreport.apple.com. It would be interesting to find out the current status. Maby some info from this thread could be added to help out?
mavisXP Oct 2, 2008 1:29 PM
in response to WallpaperGuyWow, it looks like there might actually be progress here ...
bizzyb0t Oct 2, 2008 4:44 PM
in response to ikhareThank you very much for replying!
I am a big fan of Scribble and even though I use it to make stuff, like handwritten notes and funny pictures, I use it a lot of the time to re-save photos saved from Safari and Mail. It seems to clear up the image every single time.
mavisXP Oct 8, 2008 6:11 AM
in response to bizzyb0tDoes it also work with images transferred through iTunes?
msmwolfgang Oct 8, 2008 9:51 AM
in response to mavisXPOk, I've came here because I was resaraching about the same problem, what do I have to offer to this problem are some of mine findings.
The iPhone display has a 163 ppi, while most of the monitors have 72ppi, and basiclly most of the web content developed are in 72ppi because there's no need to make it bigger, because the user won't see, and it will only be bigger in size, and this may explain the problem that happens when web images are saved from within safari.
Now, why scribbled could 'fix' this or not, I can't understand why...
Hope this is the problem and some guide to the solution ...
Charles Conway Oct 8, 2008 10:28 AM
in response to msmwolfgangDisplay PPI is a physical property of the display and affects how large a given image appears on the screen. It should not however cause any change to the image such as those described by people above. It should certainly not cause an image to appear different when saved from safari and then emailed back to a computer.

How to Read Cat Food Labels (cont.)
Tip No. 6: Preservatives Are Important
Preservatives in pet foods get a bad name, but they actually serve a very important function in dry pet foods, Sanderson says. Preservatives are antioxidants that prevent the fat in foods from spoiling. Once a fat spoils, it loses its nutritional value, not to mention it can become dangerous to eat.
Preservatives may be natural or man-made. Natural preservatives commonly found in cat food include vitamin E (tocopherol) or vitamin C (ascorbic acid). Man-made ones include butylated hydroxytoluene (BHT) and butylated hydroxyanisole (BHA); both are synthetic forms of vitamin E. Some web sites claim BHT and BHA can lead to cancer in pets. But our experts are "unaware of any peer-reviewed studies that have ever substantiated the risks of preservatives at the level found in pet foods." They say you should never choose a dry cat food that does not contain preservatives, because "the risk of feeding a potentially rancid diet far outweighs any perceived risks associated with preservatives." If you prefer to feed your cat a diet without preservatives, they recommendpreservative-freecanned food only.
Tip No. 7: Natural Doesn't Mean Organic
When it comes to pet foods, there are no official definitions for the terms "natural" and "organic." But the two are not the same. Organic has to do with how a food source is grown and processed. Work is now under way to develop guidelines for the use of the word "organic" on cat food labels.
Natural may mean the product has no artificial flavors or colors. Few pet foods ever use artificial flavors. Artificial coloring isn't necessary other than to make the product look more appealing to the owners. Some manufacturers may use the term natural to indicate that there are no artificial or added preservatives, but, again, use caution here if you're buying dry cat food.
That brings up another flashy label to watch out for: "100% All Natural." That's rubbish, says the Pet Food Institute. Most complete and balanced cat foods have vitamins and minerals in them, and those additives are usually man-made. You can say "Natural with added Vitamins and Minerals," however.
