Image stabilization techniques have been used in a wide variety of different applications, including surveillance applications, vehicle-mounted image sensor applications, robotics applications, and consumer electronics applications. Image stabilization is the process of eliminating or at least reducing the effects of unwanted image sensor motion (e.g., unwanted image sensor vibration or irregular image sensor motion) on still images or video sequences. Many image stabilization approaches attempt to eliminate or at least reduce the amount of unwanted image sensor motion relative to a scene while preserving any intentional image sensor motion. In this regard, these image stabilization techniques synthesize a new image or video sequence from the perspective of a stabilized image sensor trajectory.
Among the primary classes of image stabilization techniques are mechanical image stabilization methods, electromechanical image stabilization methods, optical image stabilization methods, and electronic image stabilization methods. Mechanical image stabilization systems attempt to dampen the motion of the image sensor (or just the lens/image sensor subsystem). Electromechanical image stabilization systems detect motion of the image sensor using, for example, an inertial sensor, and alter the position or orientation of the image sensor to offset the detected image sensor motion. Optical image stabilization approaches stabilize the image of the sensor by displacing the image as it is formed by the lens system in a way that offsets image sensor motion. Electronic image stabilization techniques involve modifying the captured images in ways that makes the captured images appear to have been captured by a more stable image sensor.
Many image stabilization techniques are not suitable for compact camera environments, such as handheld electronic devices (e.g., mobile telephones), cameras designed for desktop and mobile computers (often referred to as "pc cameras"), and other embedded environments. For example, optical image stabilization techniques require large and bulky components that cannot be accommodated in most compact camera environments. Electronic image stabilization techniques, on the other hand, are computationally intensive and require significant memory resources, making them unsuitable in compact application environments in which processing and memory resources typically are significantly constrained.
What are needed are systems and methods of reducing motion-induced blur in still images within the significant size, processing, and memory constraints of typical compact camera environments.
In one aspect, the invention features an apparatus that includes an image sensor, a motion sensor, and a processing system. The image sensor is operable to capture image segments during corresponding exposure intervals of a frame exposure period. The motion sensor is operable to generate respective motion sensor signals during the respective exposure intervals of the image segments. The processing system is operable to determine from the respective motion sensor signals one or more corresponding movement measures for each of the exposure intervals and combine the image segments into an output image based on the one or more corresponding movement measures.
In another aspect, the invention features a method in accordance with which image segments are captured during corresponding exposure intervals of a frame exposure period. Respective motion sensor signals are generated during the respective exposure intervals of the image segments. One or more corresponding movement measures are determined from the respective motion sensor signals for each of the exposure intervals. The image segments are combined into an output image based on the one or more corresponding movement measures.
Other features and advantages of the invention will become apparent from the following description, including the drawings and the claims.
In the following description, like reference numbers are used to identify like elements. Furthermore, the drawings are intended to illustrate major features of exemplary embodiments in a diagrammatic manner. The drawings are not intended to depict every feature of actual embodiments nor relative dimensions of the depicted elements, and are not drawn to scale.
I. Introduction
In accordance with this method, the image capture system 10 captures image segments 20 during corresponding exposure intervals of a frame exposure period (
The motion sensor 14 generates respective motion sensor signals 24 during the respective exposure intervals of the image segments 20 (
The processing system 16 determines from the respective motion sensor signals 24 one or more corresponding movement measures for each of the exposure intervals (
The processing system 16 combines the image segments 20 into the output image 18 based on the one or more corresponding movement measures (
The image sensor 12 may be any type of imaging device that is capable of capturing one-dimensional or two-dimensional images of a scene. The image sensor 12 includes at least one image sensing component with a respective light sensing active area. Exemplary image sensing components include charge coupled devices (CCDs) and a complementary metal-oxide-semiconductor (CMOS) devices.
The motion sensor 14 may be any type of motion sensing device that is capable of generating the motion sensor signals 24 that are indicative of motion of the image sensor 12 in relation to the scene being imaged. The motion sensor 14 includes at least one motion sensing component. Exemplary motion sensing components include optical motion sensing devices and inertial motion sensing devices.
In some embodiments, the motion sensor 14 includes an optical sensing device and a movement detector. The optical sensing device has a field of view that encompasses at least a portion of the scene being imaged by the image sensor 12. The optical sensing device captures images at a rate (e.g., 1500 pictures or frames per second or greater) that is fast enough so that sequential pictures of the scene overlap. The movement detector detects movement of the motion sensor in relation to the scene based on comparisons between images of the scene that are captured by the optical sensing device. In this process, the movement detector identifies texture or other features in the images and tracks the motion of such features across multiple images. In some implementations, the movement detector correlates features identified in successive images to compare the positions of the features in successive images to provide information relating to the position of the motion sensor 14 relative to the scene. The movement detector identifies common features in sequential images and determines the direction and distance by which the identified common features are shifted or displaced. In some embodiments, the movement detector translates the displacement information into two-dimensional position coordinates (e.g., X and Y coordinates) that correspond to the movement of the motion sensor 14. In some embodiments, the optical sensing device and the movement detector are implemented by separate discrete components of the image capture system 10. In other embodiments, at least one of the optical sensing device and the movement detector are incorporated into other components of the image capture system 10. For example, in some embodiments the optical sensing device is implemented by a respective region of the one or more image sensing devices of the image sensor 12 and the movement detector is implemented by one or more modules of the processing system 16.
In some embodiments, the motion sensor 14 includes an inertial sensor and a movement detector. The inertial sensor may include any type of inertia sensing device, including an accelerometer-based inertial sensing device and a gyroscope-based inertia sensing device. Accelerometers sense and respond to translational accelerations, whereas gyroscopes sense and respond to rotational rates. In some implementations, the inertial sensor includes at least two inertia sensing devices that are configured to sense motions in at least two respective directions. For example, in one implementation, the inertial sensor includes two inertia sensing devices that are oriented in orthogonal directions and are operable to sense movements in a plane (e.g., an X-Y plane in a two-dimensional Cartesian coordinate system) corresponding to the capture plane of the image sensor 12. In another implementation, the inertial sensor includes three inertia sensing devices that are operable to sense movements in three noncollinear directions (e.g., X, Y, and Z directions in a three-dimensional Cartesian coordinate system). This implementation allows motion of the image capture system 10 to be tracked independently of its orientation. For both accelerometer-based inertial sensing devices and gyroscope-based inertia sensing devices, the movement detector determines relative positions of the inertial devices by double integration of the signals generated by the devices over time. In some embodiments, the movement detector is implemented by separate discrete component (e.g., digital signal processor) of the image capture system 10. In other embodiments, the movement detector is implemented by one or more modules of the processing system 16.
In general, the processing system 18 may be implemented by one or more discrete modules that are not limited to any particular hardware, firmware, or software configuration. The one or more modules may be implemented in any computing or data processing environment, including in digital electronic circuitry (e.g., an application-specific integrated circuit, such as a digital signal processor (DSP)) or in computer hardware, firmware, device driver, or software. In some implementations, computer process instructions for implementing the image capture method shown in
II. Still Image Stabilization For Rolling Shutter Image Capture
In some embodiments, the image sensor 12 includes a two-dimensional complementary metal-oxide-semiconductor (CMOS) device that is operated in accordance with a rolling shutter capture process in which each row of pixels of the image sensor is sequentially scanned in order. A rolling shutter typically is implemented by sequentially resetting and reading the pixels of a two-dimensional CMOS photocell array row-by-row in a series of scanlines until the entire active area of the image sensor has been scanned. The exposure interval of each scanline is the time between the reset and readout, and the frame exposure period is the time needed to readout all the scan lines.
E FP =e R +M·T R (1)
where M is the number of rows of pixels in an active area of the image sensor 32; the exposure of row i begins at time tE,i, which is given by
t E,i=(i−1)·T R +t 0,FP (2)
where t0,FP is the time at which frame exposure period FP begins; and the readout of row i occurs at time tR,i, which is given by
t R,i =i·T R +e R +t 0,FP (3)
By design, the scanline exposure intervals occur at different times during the frame exposure period. Thus, any motion (e.g., handshaking) that occurs during the frame exposure period may blur the composite image that is formed from the pixels values that are captured in accordance with the rolling shutter image capture process.
In accordance with this method, the exposure control module 44 divides the frame exposure period into a set of image segment exposure intervals
The exposure control module 44 associates the scanlines to corresponding ones of the image segments (
The deblurring module 46 deblurs each of the image segments 54 based on the one or more corresponding motion sensor signals 24 (
The deblurring module 46 determines the type of relative motion between the image sensor 12 and the scene based on the movement measures. In general, the type of relative motion can include one or more of a translation, a rotation, and a sudden change of scale. In some embodiments, the deblurring module 46 is operable to determine any one of these types of relative motion and selects an appropriate blur model for each of the image segments 54. In one exemplary embodiment, the deblurring module 46 determines for each image segment 54 a motion vector that describes the relative linear motion between the image sensor 12 and the scene. In this embodiment, the deblurring module 46 estimates for each image segment 54 a respective point-spread function that corresponds to a one-dimensional motion blur defined by the corresponding motion vector. The deblurring module 46 generates a respective deblurred image segment 60 from each image segment 54 by deconvolving the image segment 54 based on the corresponding estimated point-spread function. In general, the deblurring module 46 may generate the deblurred image segments using any of a wide variety of deconvolution processes, including an inverse filtering deconvolution process, a Wiener filtering deconvolution process, and a Richardson-Lucy deconvolution process.
The combining module 48 arranges the deblurred image segments 60 into rows (
III. Still Image Stabilization for Divided Exposure Image Capture
In some embodiments, the image sensor 12 is operated in accordance with a divided exposure image capture process that obtains a composite image corresponding to a relatively long exposure period from a set of images that are captured with shorter exposure periods. A divided exposure image capture process typically is implemented by dividing a composite frame exposure period into a number of exposure divisions, integrating a respective image of the scene during each exposure division, and combining the images into the composite image. The resulting composite image typically is characterized by a lower noise level than a single image that is integrated over the entire composite frame exposure period.
The exposure control module 72 divides the frame exposure period into a set of image segment exposure periods (
The image sensor 12 captures respective image segments 80 during corresponding ones of the image segment exposure intervals (
Referring back to
The warping module 74 warps the image segments 80 based on global motion vectors that describe motion of each of the image segments as a whole in relation to a designated reference frame or local motion vectors that describe the motion between regions of ones of the image segments 80 and the reference frame. The reference frame may correspond to the coordinate frame of one of the image segments 80. In some embodiments, the warping module 74 determines a respective motion map (or motion correspondence map) for each image segment 80. Each motion map includes a set of velocity motion vectors that map the pixels of a respective image segment to the pixels of the reference image. In general, the warping module 74 may compute the motion vectors based on any type of motion model. In one embodiment, the motion vectors are computed based on an affine motion model that describes motions that typically appear in image sequences, including translation, rotation, and zoom. The affine motion model is parameterized by six parameters as follows:
where u and v are the x-axis and y-axis components of a velocity motion vector at point (x,y,z), respectively, and the Ak's are the affine motion parameters. Because there is no depth mapping information for a non-stereoscopic video signal, z=1. Each iamge segment Ir(P) corresponds to the reference frame It(P) in accordance with equation (5):
I r(P)=I t(P−U(P)) (5)
where P=P(x, y) represents pixel coordinates in the coordinate system of the current video frame.
The warping module 74 determines the movement measures from an estimated affine model of the motion between each image segment 80 and the reference frame. In some embodiments, the affine model is estimated by applying a least squared error (LSE) regression to the following matrix expression:
where X is given by:
and U is given by:
where N is the number of samples (i.e., the selected object blocks). Each sample includes an observation (xi, yi, 1) and an output (ui, vi) that are the coordinate values in the current and previous video frames associated by the corresponding motion vector. Singular value decomposition may be employed to evaluate equation (6) and thereby determine A. In this process, the motion estimation module 18 iteratively computes equation (6). Iteration of the affine model typically is terminated after a specified number of iterations or when the affine parameter set becomes stable to a desired extent. To avoid possible divergence, a maximum number of iterations may be set.
After the image segments 80 have been warped to the common reference frame (
IV. Exemplary Operating Environment For The Image Capture System
As explained above, the image capture system 10 is highly suitable for incorporation in compact camera environments that have significant size, processing, and memory constraints, including but not limited to handheld electronic devices (e.g., a mobile telephone, a cordless telephone, a portable memory device such as a smart card, a personal digital assistant (PDA), a solid state digital audio player, a CD player, an MCD player, a game controller, a pager, and a miniature still image or video camera), pc cameras, and other embedded environments.
In some embodiments, the image capture system 10 is integrated into a handheld device that includes a telephone subsystem. The telephone subsystem may correspond to any of a variety of different types of telephones, including a wired telephone and a wireless telephone (e.g., a cellular telephone and a cordless telephone). The telephone subsystem converts sounds into electrical signals and vice versa. In particular, the telephone subsystem transduces between audio signals and telephony signals. In this regard, the telephone subsystem typically includes a microphone for converting received audio signals into electrical signals and a speaker for converting received electrical signals into audio signals. The telephone subsystem communicates the telephony signals over a telephony communications channel. The telephony signals may formatted in accordance with any of a variety of different telephone protocols, including public switched telephone network protocols (e.g., Signaling System 7 and Intelligent Network), analog cellular telephone protocols (e.g., Advanced Mobile Phone Service), digital cellular telephone protocols (e.g., TDMA, CDMA, GSM, and WAP), and cordless telephone protocols (e.g., Digital Enhanced Cordless Telecommunications). The telephony communications channel couples the handheld device to a telephone system, which may include one or more of a wireless telephone network, a wired telephone network (e.g., a PSTN), and a cordless telephone base station.
V. Conclusion
The embodiments that are described in detail herein are capable of reducing motion-induced blur in still images within the significant size, processing, and memory constraints of typical compact camera environments.
Other embodiments are within the scope of the claims.

Skip to comments.2010 Abraham Lincoln Presidential Dollar Launch Ceremony Planned
Posted on 11/08/2010 10:43:38 AM PST by RayBob
2010 Abraham Lincoln Presidential Dollar Launch Ceremony Planned By Coin Update Staff on October 26th, 2010 Categories: US Coins, United States Mint
Details of the launch ceremony for the Abraham Lincoln Presidential Dollar have been announced by the United States Mint. Launch ceremonies have typically been held on or around the circulation release date for each Presidential Dollar coin, held at a location related to the former President.
The Abraham Lincoln Presidential $1 Coin will mark the 16th release of the overall series and the final release for this year. The obverse of the coin features a portrait of Lincoln designed by Don Everhart with inscriptions Abraham Lincoln, 16th President, 1861-1865″ and In God We Trust. The reverse of the coin will feature a rendition of the Statue of Liberty also designed by Don Everhart, which has been used for each release of the broader series.
The launch ceremony has been planned for November 18, 2010 at 10:00 AM ET. The location will be President Lincolns Cottage on the grounds of the Armed Forces Retirement Home in Washington, D.C. Lincoln lived at this location for one quarter of his presidency and last visited the cottage the day before his assassination.
Previous launch ceremonies for coins featuring Abraham Lincoln have been well attended. Four separate ceremonies were held to mark the release of each of the four designs issued for the 2009 Lincoln Bicentennial Cents. Most recently, a ceremony was held in Springfield, Illinois to officially present the new reverse design for the Lincoln Cent featuring the Union Shield.
The upcoming ceremony will be held the same day that the Abraham Lincoln Presidential Dollars will be officially released into circulation. Banks and other depository institutions are allowed to order unmixed quantities of newly released Presidential Dollars, so it will be possible for the public to obtain the new Lincoln Dollars from banks. The United States Mint will also offer 25-coin rolls of circulating quality coins for $35.95 plus shipping and handling.
I see where this is going.
...O boy!...another pot metal coin from the Mint...file this effort under DUD! along with the Susan B Anthony and Sacagewea(sp?)dollar coin failures...if they had made the Lincoln it out of silver, it would be a sell out....but noooo!
They did a silver Lincoln bicentennial dollar and it was a sellout. Nice looking coin, too.
This is part of the Presidential Dollar series (4 a year every year in order of presidency).
How about a silver dollar worth $30.
When does the Jeff Davis version come out?
$1000 gold coin
...RayBob, I heard a rumor that the Mint can't keep up with demand for silver coins; so they have suspended sales...is this true or just urban legand...if it's true, then what does that say about the public's confidence in paper dollars? WOW!
Best buys are 90% silver coins (pre 1964) available at any coin shop if you want to own silver as a hedge. Dealers are buying it at 10-12 x face, but selling it for more....
Scouts Out! Cavalry Ho!
They need to think about returning to some sort of gold or even a combined gold/silver standard. That would put an end to the 24/7 printing press at the mint.
Didn't you hear?
No what was it?
There is already Lincoln penny and Lincoln $5 bill.
Should have been a piece of currency with Ronald Reagan.
The south LOST! It was in all the papers.
I agree.
He knows - it's the masochist in him that seeks more punishment LOL
It's coming out along with the Herman Goring and Leon Trotsky dollars.
Reagan's time is coming. I suspect Reagan with his patriotic respect for American heroes would be a big fan of coin honoring Lincoln.
As I understand it, the Mint makes money on these commemorative issues.
But I don't have a clue how they calculate that.
The Loser Series come out in 2015.
Probably in 2016. Right now they're scheduled to end with Ford but I'll bet they continue on.
I don't think these are really going to go into wide circulation. Like the two dollar bill or the Eisenhower or Sacajawea Dollars collectors will probably snag most of them right away.
We on for our usual exchange?
I'm sure it's on the confederate government's list of things to do. Oh, wait, There is no confederate government.
They might as well bring back the $500 and $1000 bills. That's not all that much money nowadays, but any suggestion of reviving them results in "the only people that would use those bills are drug dealers" excuse, which I think is BS.
Seems like Abe Would fit I with this group perfectly.
Well when the U.S. Mint comes out with the Fascist Leaders in History collection then I'm sure ol' Jeffy Davis will be front and center.
This is just an psyop to induce inflation.
The euro and the canada have a 1# coin. no 1# bill.
This will fail like the rest.

"I love Turkey" Turkey by StephanB
Turkey Travel Guide: 25,445 reviews and 74,264 photos
We traveled around Turkey for 2 months. It was the start of our 'Around the world trip' and I'm not sure how we are going to top it. We enjoyed everything about the country. I have never felt more welcomed by strangers in my life. Our 18 month old was treated like a princess (didn't hurt that she was blond haired and blue eyed). We were invited into homes, to tables at restaurants, to picnics and many other things during our trip. The country itself is incredibly beautiful. Scenic, historic, you name it, Turkey has it.
Turkey is filled with ancient ruins throughout the country. Many of these are unspoiled and rarely visited. There were times when we would have a complete, very large roman theatre all to ourselves.
As long as you stay away from the crowded tourist coastal towns, you can really find some beautiful, peaceful places. It helped that were there right before the busy season.
- Pros:Everything
- Cons:Tourist are ruining some beautiful coastal towns
- In a nutshell:Everything you want in a destination.

Chinedu is a comedian, actor and writer best known for his stand up appearances on Television, internationally and around the United States. Most currently Chinedu was seen on the new season of the hit comedy series The Mindy Project (FOX/HULU) and just came back from an overseas tour performing for the US Troops stationed across the Middle East.
Born and raised in south Los Angeles with direct Nigerian roots, Chinedu is making his way through the comedy scene. He got his start in comedy after a friend in college dared/encouraged him to try stand up. Chinedu, always down for a 360 degree life change, told himself "Why not?" After a successful enough first show Chinedu became hooked; performing at every talent show, open mic and stand up night he could find at and around the University of California, Santa Barbara. After graduating, Chinedu moved back to LA to put his education in Sociology to good use by pursuing his entertainment dreams. Chinedu began performing nightly anywhere he could, while completing grad school at LMU until he figured out how to make a living through his passion.
A fews years later, CHINEDU is still eating peanut butter everyday, but has established himself as a smooth comedic presence performing regularly at some of the country's most renowned comedy clubs. Including his local favorites: The Hollywood Laugh Factory, The Hollywood Improv, The Comedy and Magic Club, THe Comedy Union, The Comedy Store, and many more. You might have seen his name on the same line up with other renown comedians such as: Mike Epps, Dom Irrera, Dane Cook, Deon Cole, Chris D'elia, Ian Edwards, Marlon Wayans and the list goes on. As well as independently touring universities nationwide annually through his "Study Break" College Comedy Tour reaching from USC and UCLA in Los Angeles to Ithaca College and Cornell University in New York.
Chinedu also competed in NBC's Stand Up for Diversity competition – being named a top ten finalist out of 1000 + comedians. In addition, he was featured on NUVO's TV Stand Up and Deliver and was named as a top finalist at the latest Ventura Harbor, Burbank, San Diego and the Laughing Skull Comedy Festival (2014). Chinedu comedic talents were also seen on TV in his own half hour comedy special on The Africa Channel as apart of Africa Laughs, which still continually airs internationally on Time Warner Cable. Furthermore, his name can be seen on the credits as lead writer on comedy specials that were aired for SHOWTIME.
"Appearing on numerous stages, Chinedu provides the audience with a fresh point of view, a welcoming persona and hilarious flips in logic that you often don't see coming. Having performed everywhere there is a mic: clubs, colleges, corporate events, wedding receptions, etc. across the country, Chinedu has been labeled by audiences, comedians and bookers as clever energy with an array of jokes that are original, universal and as someone who is ready for primetime" (Chinedu's Uncle).
Chinedu's overall goal is to "just become successful enough to the point where spell check will stop trying to convince me I spelled my name wrong."

The challenge will not wait. Life does not look back.A week is more than enough time for us to decidewhether or not to accept our destiny.
Paulo Coelho
Source: Life
Contributed by: Aart Hilal
Your heart is where your treasure is,
and you must find your treasure
in order to make sense of everything.
We have a tendency to see those things that do not existand to be blind to the great lessonsthat are right there before our eyes.
Finding something important in lifedoes not mean that you mustgive up everything else.
The glory of the world is transitory, and we should not measure our lives by it, but by the choice we maketo follow our personal legend, to believe in our utopiasand to fight for our dreams.We are all protagonists of our own lives, And it is often the anonymous heroeswho leave the deepest mark.
The only way to make the right decisionis to find out which is the wrong decision, to examine that other path without fear, and only then decide.
When we put off the harvest, the fruit rots, but when we put off our problems, they keep on growing.
Before commencing battle, the Warrior of Lightopens his heart and asks God to inspire him.
It is even more difficultto define a path for yourself.The person who does not make a choicedies in the eyes of the Lord, even though he continuesto breathe and to walk about the streets.For a man has to choose, therein lies his strength:in the power of his decisions.
I am convincedthat no one loses anyone, because no one owns anyone.That is the true experience of freedom:having the most important thing in the Worldwithout owning it.

I am currently in developement of a theme for a gaming group's website that I maintain. We play multiple games and I wanted to have different backgrounds get picked randomly for the site and then if you select one of the games in their given section ... it would pick that game background for that page. Perhaps, if I could for that game's forum also on bbPress.
I know this may be a lot to ask of a PHP script but is there anything out there?
To help aid in any responces here is my idea overviewed:
Parent Link - Randomly picked background from backgrounds database

Forums - Randomly picked background from backgrounds database
Warcraft Forums - Warcraft background
Any ideas?

NEWPORT NEWS TAKES STEPS TO KEEP YELLOW JACK OUT Probable Origin of the Contusion Be- lieved to Been llronght by an Old Soldier from to Confine tho Srourge to Present Location Hiimpton Washington, Aug. last offi- cial advices locnivod show a of !J7 cases and seven deaths from yellow t'over at tho soldiers' home at Hamp- ton, Va. ThuH far the disease has boon confined to tho homo, but all surround- ing towns aru excited and a vigorous quarantine is bujng maintained. Dr. Wiisdin of thn niuvii.e hospital service is in charge of affairs at Hampton, and is woiking in cooperation with tho local board of health. Already a number of inquiries have been receiver! by Dr. Wyuian from qiiarnantine offi- cers throughout tho United States ask- ing whether thoy shall impose a mari- time quarantine against Norfolk. He has replied that there appear.-) to be no necessity for such restriction in the case of either Norfolk or Newport Nows. Dr. Wasdin's official report of his examination of existing conditions at the soldiers' homo has reached Dr. Wyman. It notos the fact that the doctor has soeu all the cases of sus- pected disease at the home. He sums up the history of the contagion as fol- lows "Early in July un old soldier entered the liome for a short rest and soon afterward appeared at the dis- pensary, where he informed the pysi- cinn in charge thut he was but recently from Santiago via a transport to a northern port; thenco he started for Manila via San Francisco, beat his way to the home on a freight train and entered with his baggage. He complained of dumb chills and fever and was prescribed for. He mingled freely with the inmates of the home and a short time ago disappeared. From this, as a possible cause, the outbreak is as follows: Preceding Friday, the 21st, there had been no- ticed nothing of a suspicions nature. Tho weekly death rate was as usual. But on tho 21st and 32nd there became ill during tho night with chill, high t'over, some eight or 10 inmates, men of usually good health. These seizures, although noted as peculiar, had occas- ioned no alarm until about Thursday, tho STth, when a death occurred the mun becoming distinctly yellow some time prior to death. On about the same day another one died without attracting particular attention, he also tnrnucl quite yellow. Autopsies were held on both by a resident patho- logist. It was then or a little later that the telegram was sent you asking for an export. I found that there were inmates and thut 35 had been taken ill since the 21st." A SUIT FOR THOUSANDS. Hi ought Against Mrs. Kdily ivnil Other Christian Scientists. Boston, Aug.

The arrival of Jho rainy season finds he insurrection as vigorous as it has seen at any time since the outbreak. The insurgent armies are well re- 3ruited, notwithstanding their osses, and are well fed and clothed. They have profited by their five months f warfare against the Americans. They are fast adopting American tac- lios'ancl aro becoming better clisci- )lined and more skillful in the use of heir weapons every day. Over oldiers should be here ready for busi- ness by the beginning of the dry sea- 011 in November. Garrisons could hen be stationed at strategic points. A continuous warfare cannot be car- ried on in this enervating climate by he same trooua. Frequent reliefs art) lecessary. All are greatly debilitated. They are unfit for soldier duty and seems slow and unsatis- 'octory. As it is with them, it is so ikely to be with their successors.

the bastardz & IVANA KINDL - NEW SINGLE FOR DOWNLOAD
The song "NIKAD VIŠE" (Never Again) is a fourth single from the great comeback album The Bastardz 6 by the Croatian jazz-funk band The Bastardz. After a notable success of the first 3 singles, the band proudly presents their collaboration with one of the best Croatian female vocalists, Ivana Kindl. A brilliant combination of a superior vocal and high quality musicians resulted with this duet that we expect to see on top of Croatian charts and on Croatian radio airplays. "Nikad više" is a melancholic medium tempo pop-funk in which fantastic Ivana Kindl is accompanied by Jex on the guitar, Gojko Tomljanović on keyboard, Alen Svetopetrić on bass guitar and Siniša Banović on drums, with the fantastic solo of our best sax player, Saša Nestorović.
For more info on concerts and news check out the band's official website: www.thebastardz.com, where you can also order their latest album, The Bastardz 6.
The latest signing to the Geenger Records label, Ruiz, has officially released their EP that was announced last week with the energetic and furious single "You Decide". Reactions were more then positive and the single was just the introduction to the explosion of the EP "Draw The Line Never A Square", available for free download over Geenger Records Bandcamp profile.
On the EP you will find four songs, 15 minutes of music and many more hours you will spend talking with your friends about this edition and expecting the release of the Ruiz's second album "Ruizradiorevolution!".
For everybody that is finding out about Ruiz for the first time, it is a three man rock band that started back in 2006, which combines the esthetics of Kyuss and Nirvana, dance elements of Gang of Four and Rapture, and relentless music playing of At The Drive-In, creating the specific expression that is hard to define. Up till now, they have released in 2009 the first album "Erupt" on Sonic Doom Records label, had over 100 concerts all over Croatia and Europe, and participated as guests on many music festivals.

I am amazed by the load of details in your pictures, yet your pictures are light.
That's very pretty. There's a lot of positive and negative affects that really make it jive.
somehow this is very steam punk especially the back ground
Very nice job, gorgerous water rendering!
Again, awesome stuff You manage to achieve such depth with not really all that much on the darker side of the spectrum. I hope that makes sense. Either way, big achievement
Oh so pretty! D very nice job!! D
beautiful. I love watercolours, Maybe I should try my hand at it too
what a vision you have! this is very captivating!
po prostu super!
I love your work, amazing!
I'm really amazed by how few colours you use.
Wow! Bravo!
Nice !

Sylvan Lake State Park is real gem. The campground is very spacious, with several large pull-through sites and many sites that have a bit of a view of the lake. There are two sections, 34 sites well-spaced in a typical campground layout and 12 sites (Fisherman's Paradise) on a gravel parking lot which backs up onto a large grass area and the lake. Fisherman's Paradise is quite nice but when it fills up on weekends the spacing is pretty tight. This park is a wonderful place to spend a few days or a week. There are some nice hikes right from the campground and several outstanding hikes in the surrounding national forest. The lake is beautiful with good fishing and the fall color here is spectacular. The last five miles of the road to the lake are very well-maintained gravel--not a problem for RVs, just a bit bumpy in spots. We would not hesitate to come back here again. - MrSunshine

Great getaway! This park is well-run and although we did not have any hookups, we thoroughly enjoyed the peaceful surroundings of a mountain camping experience. The sites are well-spaced and the restroom / shower facilities were very nice. Note that the campground is another five-mile drive in on a gravel road after the visitor center at the entrance to the park (a total of 15 miles from the nearest town of Eagle). We would definitely stay here again. Be sure to make your reservations early. - charms51

I had this same bike got stolen from my garage 2years ago. Attachment 368382Attachment 368383 this it was my very first bike. this was at our old house, got stolen at our new house i miss this bike, even though it was a tad to big for me.
super cool story bro
Schwinn/Caad...all the same.
I think that guy's spoke tension is off or something.
Bad news... Me and the CAAD 10 got T-Boned by a driver that somehow missed the fact that I was passing a junction and wearing a hi viz jacket! She was travelling towards me, no traffic on the road, decided to turn right into a side road and just went for it as if I was not there.
I have a broken shoulder blade [scapula] and my lovely CAAD 10 custom is dead.
The only up side is that I am now planning my next CAAD 10. I'm going to go for a frame only and Campag Record Groupset. Wheels? not sure yet.
I also don't know whether to go for a 52CM again or downszize to a 50cm. I know a couple of you on here have done that. Pls do you have any thought and comparisons?
Attachment 368579
As far as downsizing I am on a 56 and should be on a 58.
You definitely feel a sense of dominance over your bike :D
Steering is a little more twitchy (I feel in a good way)
if you like the position you're in now, you will have to show more seat tube and run a few spacers
Longer stem
I feel more confident on fast down hill descents because you have more control from the longer stem
One thing to check out would be knee clearance w/your head tube/back of stem/steerer tube. Out of the saddle riding/sprinting may give you an issue (like your knees hitting) I don't have this problem.
Overall, I am loving my downsized frame.
Sorry to hear about your crash, chaser97. I wish you the best in healing!
Regarding the size down, I'd say it would be doable. I supposedly have the legs for a 56, but the torso for a 54, but to be honest, my seatpost isn't raised very high, so I often wonder if I could size down to a 52 from a 54. The geo charts suggest it is possible for both of us to go undersize just based on stack and reach. You'll lose just over a half centimeter of stack and just under half a centimeter of reach. Judging by your photo there, you have some room to add a slightly longer stem (or longer reach handlebars, which would add more like 1/2 a centimeter) and show some more seatpost. Am I correct in that your steerer tube has been cut? If so, I definitely think you could go down 1 size. Just add another spacer, show a bit more seatpost, and perhaps get a longer stem or handlebars - if you want to maintain an aggressive fit.
And as far as buying a frame and building it with Campy - please do! I want pictures. :thumb:
Sorry to hear it man; I was hit by a car back in November and did some reconstructive surgery on my right forearm.
I recently went from a big 56cm frame (100mm stem)to a 54cm CAAD10. I didn't get much support from the shop which basically said to either buy a bike off the wall or pay us $400 for a video-fit. So I brought a plumb-bob for KOPS measurement and went from there. I rode a 52 and 54 about 10-miles each, ultimately the extreme "drop" on the 52 pushed me to buy the 54cm frame. I currently run that frame with a 15mm SB post and a 110mm stem (110mm printed, it measures 122cm with the calipers from steering tube center to bar center). I really, really like running the 2cm+ longer stem. It slows the steering way down and makes sprinting less sketchy. I agree with the "sense of dominance".
Chaser97. Sorry to hear that.
I have a 54cm frame. Aesthetically, it looks alright. If I have to be picky, I would like to ride a 52cm frame. Just because I like seeing more seat post.
Whoa, Chaser, that was some accident, glad that you are still around to tell us about things, the scapula fracture is pretty painful, as I understand that one. Hope the recovery goes by quickly but don't push things, spend the time on choosing and outfitting a new CAAD 10. There are several nice frame sets on eBay right now, if you are looking at a total build. The '14s sure look tasty to me, though. No advice as to the size, fitting is to personal and individual. Best of luck.
^ Unless chaser ran a stop sign or something, it sounds like (to me) that the driver will buy a new bike, or her insurance will buy a new bike, along w/paying for medical bills and what not.
sorry to hear about your crash Chaser..im on a 52, and spent some time on a 50-loved it, the handling and steering were noticeably more direct. i did stick with the 52 as im already pushing the size limits for a 5'10 guy...
Cant wait to build new CAAD 10 but have to wait for some cash and also to be able to move my arm/shoulder without going into orbit.
Also twitchy wasnt the best word to describe it (unless you're going REALLY slow)
I gave my self a basic fit from watching "art's cyclery" channel on youtube. they are awesome, ever bought my bike form them :D
I didnt have time to have them fit me though :( I literally bought it, threw it in the car and gf and I bucketed up and we left :D
I've just set up my bike trainer in front of a mirror to measure leg angle and what not, and made minor adjustments during/after rides. I haven't paid for a fitting just yet. One, because the roadies I talk to can't name a great fitter in the area. Two, because I don't get to ride to frequently yet. The summer of 2015 I'll be done with college running and can focus on cycling or whatever else I want!
Spring Break begins this weekend. Due to our workout schedule, I don't think I'll be able to ride even once. This might be the worst spring break yet. :cry: Might have to go until May for a ride.
