MyHorse let's your players have more control over their horses!
Simple, easy and lightweight.
- Name your horse
- Protect it from stealing & inventory theft
- Protect it from dying (Owned horses are invulnerable)
- Protect it from being unleashed by others
- Simple transfer of ownership of horses (great for buying/selling!)
- Put your horse for sale (Right-click to buy it)
- Keep a list of your owned horses
- Teleport to your owned horses
- Teleport your owned horses to you
- Option to allow putting a chest on any type of horse
Select your horse
Simply mount your horse to select it as your currently selected horse.
By default, only the owner can mount his horse.
To name your selected horse simply use the command:
/myhorse name <horsename>
When your horse has a name, it is only ridable by you
Anti Theft
After taming your horse, the horse is "locked" and can only be used and accessed by its owner. To allow others to use your horse, use the commands:
/myhorse lock /myhorse unlock
Come here!
After selecting your horse, you can summon it to you with the command:
/myhorse comehere
My horses?
See a list of your owned horses with the command:
/myhorse list
How cool is my horse?
Check out the info about your selected horse with the command:
/myhorse info
Goto my horse!
After seeing the list of your horses, you can goto any of them with command:
/myhorse goto <id>
Note that this command is disabled in config.yml by default
Set a new owner for your horse
After selecting your horse, you can set a new owner for it with the command:
/myhorse setowner <ownername>
Go away!
Set your selected horse free with the command:
/myhorse goaway
Sell that horse
Set your selected horse for sale with the command:
/myhorse sell <price>
Any player with the myhorse.buy permission node can now right-click to buy the horse.
(Note that Vault is required for this feature)
Spawn a horse
Admin can spawn any type of horse with the command:
/myhorse spawn <normal|mule|undead|skeleton> <baby>
Multiple Worlds
Set the worlds you wish to enable MyHorse in the config.yml file:
Worlds: - world - world_nether - world_the_end
Damage Types
Configure the types of damage which owned horses should be protected from in the config.yml file:
DamageProtection: - PROJECTILE - POISON - MELTING - MAGIC - CUSTOM - DROWNING - FIRE - FIRE_TICK - ENTITY_ATTACK - BLOCK_EXPLOSION - ENTITY_EXPLOSION - LIGHTNING - LAVA
All valid damage types and their descriptions can be found here
Permission Groups
You can set certain values for MyHorse for your groups in the config.yml file:
default: HorseNameColor: WHITE MaximumHorses: 3 Member: HorseNameColor: GOLD MaximumHorses: 10
All valid colors can be found here
Note that MyHorse will automatically detect your permission groups and write default settings in your config.yml.
Not happy with the text of the plugin?
Just change the file /lang/english.yml to whatever you want!
Note that MyHorse auto-downloads the language file from my server at www.doggycraft.dk.
This can be disabled by using the DownloadLanguageFile setting in the config.yml.
Put the MyHorse.jar file in your /plugins folder and you are ready to go!

you need to teleport to that chunk and kill any horse within like 200 blocks of it. in hopes of killing the horse thats causing the issue. you may need to do it a few times even after restarts as it tends to duplicate horses when it is unable to teleport properly.
if you get a similar issue about a chunk being in the wrong location ,instead of an entity. you will need to regen the chunk. if that doesnt fix it, you will need to find which region its in "use chunkinfo from worldedit" and delete that file in the worlds folder on your server. then restart teh server and load the chunks anew.
sorry you are having these problems. its best to find another plugin for the time being. there doesnt seem to be a way to safely and effectively teleport horses. especially if you have multiple worlds.
the only reason i tried this plugin was hoping for a simple effective teleportation method. and this one claimed to have multi-world support.Last edited Aug 22, 2013 by mal67

Alright, first off, I am on version 0.0.7 of this plugin. I know I'm a few versions behind, but it looks like that might have actually kept me from having some of these issues on my server.
I am having issues though. They started last night. A player alerted me that they were unable to teleport their horse to them, and if they teleported to their horse's location, there was nothing there. The data in the .yml files seem to be in order, and we can transfer the horse to different owners, but could not rename, kill, or teleport the now 'phantom' horse.
I saw no errors in the console for any of this, however tonight, I keep seeing the following for a different player's horse -
9:57:17 PM CONSOLE: [WARNING] Wrong location for EntityHorse['6Becky'/1023402, l='world', x=-815.22, y=47.00, z=380.52] in world 'world'! 9:57:17 PM CONSOLE: [WARNING] Entity is at -815.2153219347902,380.52081489572913 (chunk -51,23) but was stored in chunk -407,191
Are these problems that can be easily resolved? For now, I have disabled the plugin and put an announcement that we need to leave horses alone until we can get things sorted.

mal67, I don't allow myhorse.comehere and haven't had any chunk-related problems. Perhaps not allowing players to teleport their horses would help avoid problems.

I really like the idea of this plugin. I hope your able to get the bugs fixed.
I wish factions plugin would add something like this to there plugin ability. like...faction horses. :)
If you leave the faction, you lose your horse claim..or something. that would be cool :)

KrustyLv, uninstall the plugin ASAP, then kill every horse in every world you have. and keep a very close eye out for errors that say similar things to 'WARNING: chunk -7 10 was stored in -7 10 but found in -48 24'
if you do, find the chunk, and find which region file it is, then delete the region file in side your map folder and restart.
@CommodoreAlpha - this build, is NOT a beta. beta builds are generally accepted to be daily drivers with a few minor concerns. this is an ALPHA or Pre build, the developer needs to understand proper build labeling. and acknowledge that his plugin has such catastrophic errors that are breaking servers still.Last edited Aug 21, 2013 by mal67

I suggest the plugin author adding a big disclaimer banner on the top of the page and claim your work as an highly experimental plugin. This plugin still needs loads of work IMO.
CommodoreAlpha Aug 21, 2013 at 03:44 UTC - 1 like
Considering the amount of backlash this plugin has been receiving, I think it only appropriate to put a warning label on top of the page, and mark the plugin as "Experimental" for the time being. Yes, I know it says "Beta" and "Beta" versions of anything aren't always supposed to work as expected, but that's not good enough of a warning.
I've noticed you may have been "ignoring" certain comments, but do bear in mind it would help if you could be more open about the plugin's progress/status, and at least respond to every comment (that isn't spam), good or bad.
Let me give you an example of a situation, a bit like this one, that is an example of how one can better handle a catastrophic situation: bPermissions. There were a few majour bugs, one of which I recall wiping your permissions.
Yes, having your permissions wiped is serious, but did the author idly stand by and let the negative comments go unanswered? No. The main developer actively responded, while pointing out what the (probable) nature of the issue is, and worked feverishly (I presume) to iron out the issues. Yes, damage has been done, and yes, people were angry, but the developer of that plugin was responsible about it. And that is what really matters.
The least I hope you could do is be a bit more responsive, and warn players about the issues with the current builds with a very obvious label. At most, you could explain the situation, the nature of the issue, be responsive to most comments, all while working on bugfixes. And do bear in mind, we all (should) know bugfixes take awhile to get right, but if you can't fix the bugs in this current situation, a different approach might be in order, such as a recode, or maybe even help from another developer.

About the prison
February 20, 2013
I'm appalled by the price tag of $40 million to build a new county prison. The Sun-Gazette editorial of Feb. 13 mentions the existing prison "has 255 beds and no room for expansio....
USA - can't do it. There are standards not options. School will not work. Can't even be a real consideration. Work Crew already exists through the PRC as does Community Service for those on the outside. Community Service can only be applied to Costs. There is no actual pay so restitution remains. KrazyK - you do understand we have prison standards and have for years. The sentence itself is the punishment, the separation from society if you will. Nothing you stated is legal. BTW, bunks are two beds. The prison does have many cells holding two. You don't get to choose a single-cell option.

USA/Krazy, I agree with you both 100%

Split the non-violent offenders into two "chain-gang" groups and make them do community service for twelve hours a day. Twelve hours in prison, twelve hours out. That means one bed = two inmates. Oil industry off-shore platforms and ships have been working split shifts/bunks for a long time.

"A school is not realistic. Upgrading and dividing into cells, installing all the plumbing, cell doors, central locking and so forth would cost more than building."
Building a high chain link fence is the biggest expense in using a school. Each classroom could hold a dozen beds. Cells would not be necessary. There are already plenty of bathrooms and also shower-rooms. The cafeteria is already there to feed them. Inside, the biggest expense would be beds and lockers for their belongings.
Remember, we are talking non-violent, short-term people here!
Sure beats $40 MILLION we can't afford!

In regards to your probation comments, I still don't see why they couldn't do something in terms of community service or something for people dealing with 'minor infractions' rather than wasting tax dollars on imprisonment.

RE: Domestics, this is a civil commitment. Parole/Probation is only available in a criminal matter. Parole/Probation is a way of allowing inmates to serve their minimum sentence and complete their maximum sentence outside. This is a privilege, not a right.They are returned to the prison if conditions of supervision are violated. Bottom line, nothing will be built soon.
3 Agrees | 1 Disagrees | Report Abuse »
No. You can not house an inmate in a state prison that has not or does not receive a state sentence. Clinton has fewer available beds than they did in the past. The other issue is these inmates are unsentenced and need to be transported back and forth to court proceedings. This requires two sheriffs. As to for profit, inmates are charged a maximum of $5.00 per day for housing. A school is not realistic. Upgrading and dividing into cells, installing all the plumbing, cell doors, central locking and so forth would cost more than building. Judges are not paid by the county. Judges are paid by the Commonwealth of Pa. It is not a local decision to add additional courts. Further, adding a court requires extra public attorneys to be in all the different courts. I do favor the current proposed alternatives to attempt to lower incarceration levels. "Good time" would be another option. The Fed system gives time for each time unit an inmate remains incident free.

Maybe I should be more specific about what I'm saying in my post (not sure why someone disagreed with it, but I'd be interested in hearing)
I'm not for people who have broken the law, being released, within reason. I don't think letting 'non violent' drug dealers/users, should be out on the streets. Drugs is a large part of the motive behind many of the recent shootings that have taken place. When it comes to things like Child Support Violators..there's gotta be away to deal with these people, such as probation/community service. Same with DUI violators, I'm not condoning what they've done but there are other methods you can use to free up space in a reasonable manner. If you can do that, which I believe they can, then what is the need for a $40 Million Prison? IF they're going to do that anyway when they build the new prison..doesn't that sort of defeat the 'excuse' they used to get the funding for it? Or am I missing something.
3 Agrees | 1 Disagrees | Report Abuse »
Maybe we should just hire another judge so that those in jail awaiting trial aren't there so long. You could pay an additional judge for a lot of years for 40 million. I don't know if this would solve the problem as I don't have access to that data, but it would be worth a look.

The Prison was not built for future expansion because the ones from Philly, Jersey and New York City did not start coming until right around when it was finish. They did not plan on all this trash moving here, it was built for the local trash.

Fence in some of the abandoned schools and outdated schools, use them for prisons, and build new schools instead of prisons.
5 Agrees | 0 Disagrees | Report Abuse »
My biggest question is..they say part of the plan is to release all of the non-violent offenders. Well, while I'm against that, why isn't that the ONLY plan? They are complaining they don't have enough room, so they're going to spend $40 Million to build a new prison and then release prisoners... so why not just release prisoners and free up space? You save yourself and the tax payers $40 Million +.

Why wasn't it built for future expansion?
Simple, when it was constructed it was as a correctional facility. On our current "for profit" county system more beds=more customers=more revenue.

I am not sure if they can be housed in state prisons, but other counties rent their space to other counties....at a high cost.

LOCKPORT – Asad R. Hixon, 21, of Dudley Avenue, Niagara Falls, was sentenced Wednesday to a year in Niagara County Jail for his role in a burglary two years ago.
Hixon had pleaded guilty before County Judge Sara Sheldon Farkas to a reduced charge of attempted third-degree burglary for taking part in the Dec. 9, 2010, break-in at a home on Cayuga Drive in the Falls.
He was one of three men charged in the case. Joseph L. Burton, 22, of Ely Avenue, is awaiting sentencing in Niagara Falls City Court, and a 20-year-old Buffalo Avenue man, who was 18 at the time of the crime, was granted youthful offender status.

Insomnia is a serious disorder, and effective treatment can be crucial to getting the sleep you need. Explore safe, effective, nondrug insomnia treatments.
Insomnia is a common problem characterized by trouble falling asleep, staying asleep or getting restful sleep, despite the opportunity for adequate sleep. Cognitive behavioral therapy for insomnia, often called CBT-I, is an effective insomnia treatment for chronic sleep problems.
Cognitive behavioral therapy for insomnia is a structured program that helps you identify and replace thoughts and behaviors that cause or worsen sleep problems with habits that promote sound sleep. Unlike sleeping pills, CBT-I helps you overcome the underlying causes of your sleep problems.
To make effective changes, it's important to understand sleep cycles and learn how beliefs, behaviors and outside factors can affect your sleep. To help decide how to best treat your insomnia, your sleep therapist may have you keep a detailed sleep diary for one to two weeks.
Cognitive behavioral therapy for insomnia aims to improve sleep habits and behaviors. The cognitive part of CBT-I teaches you to recognize and change beliefs that affect your ability to sleep. For instance, this may include learning how to control or eliminate negative thoughts and worries that keep you awake. The behavioral part of CBT-I helps you develop good sleep habits and avoid behaviors that keep you from sleeping well.
Depending on your needs, your sleep therapist may recommend some of these CBT-I techniques:
The most effective treatment approach may combine several of these methods.
Sleep medications can be an effective short-term treatment — for example, they can provide immediate relief during a period of high stress or grief. Some newer sleeping medications have been approved for long-term use. But they may not be the best long-term insomnia treatment.
Cognitive behavioral therapy for insomnia may be a good treatment choice if you have long-term sleep problems. You may want to try it if you're worried about becoming dependent on sleep medications, if medications aren't effective or if they cause bothersome side effects.
Unlike pills, CBT-I addresses the underlying causes of insomnia rather than just relieving symptoms. But it takes time — and effort — to make it work. In some cases, a combination of sleep medication and CBT-I may be the best approach.
Insomnia is linked to a number of physical and mental health disorders and substance abuse. Ongoing lack of sleep increases your risk of illness and infection, high blood pressure, heart disease, diabetes, and chronic pain. Some medications also can contribute to insomnia.
If you have a condition or medication that's linked to insomnia, talk to your doctor about how best to manage these along with sleep problems. Insomnia is unlikely to get better without treatment.
There are a limited number of certified Behavioral Sleep Medicine specialists, and you may not live near a practitioner. You may have to do some searching to find a trained practitioner and a treatment schedule and type that fit your needs. Here are some places to look:
The type of treatment — such as group versus individual — and frequency of sessions can vary, depending on whom you see. You may need as few as two sessions or as many as eight or more sessions, depending on your sleep expert, the program and your progress.
When calling to set up an appointment, ask the practitioner about his or her approach and what to expect. It's also a good idea to check ahead of time whether your health insurance will cover the type of treatment you need.
Books, CDs or websites on cognitive behavioral therapy techniques and insomnia may be beneficial, but they can't replace meeting with a sleep medicine specialist in person.
Cognitive behavioral therapy for insomnia can benefit nearly anyone with sleep problems. For example, the therapy can help older adults who have been taking sleep medications for years, people with physical problems such as chronic pain and those with primary insomnia. What's more, the effects seem to last. There is no evidence that CBT-I has negative side effects.
CBT-I requires steady practice, and some approaches may cause you to lose sleep at first. But stick with it, and you'll likely see lasting results.

Open source resources for homeschooling
Open source for homeschooling or supplementing your child's education
I never realized how much I rely on open source and public libraries until I started homeschooling last year. When I started to write for Opensource.com, my son was in school. He's nearly eight years old, but he's already been in both public and private schools and in both special needs and gifted programs. I've thus been on both sides of the educational spectrum. As a librarian, former teacher, and homeschooling mother, I am familiar with what formal schools can offer and what homeschooling and open source resources (programs, tools, etc.) can offer.
Homeschooling is increasingly popular due to the differences between what schools can provide and what open source can offer homeschoolers. Even in China, bright children like my son are increasingly being educated at home or having their public or private education supplemented at home. Parental dissatisfaction with a school's environment is now the prime reason given in a recent survey by the US Department of Education for homeschooling, but dissatisfaction with the curricula and academic instruction still ranks high.
In the US, every state has their own laws, policies, frameworks, and standards regarding education for both public schools and homeschoolers. Common Core State Standards (CCSS) seek to rectify this issue and provide more consistency with standards nationally. However, the standards are still based on the content knowledge and academic skills that policymakers and others deem necessary. They seldom, however, cover the latest research or developments, such as with mathematics within the last 20 years, as Ian Stewart has argued. More significantly, public school standards and curricula are based on averages: for a hypothetical neurotypical child at a particular chronological age and in a particular grade. Gifted and twice exceptional/2e (gifted with special needs) advocates often voice concerns that the CCSS are insufficient to challenge students or meet their needs.
Within any given public school system, a principal, teachers, or other school officials select curriculum materials and resources for students to use in a classroom. For years, traditional curriculum publishers, such as Pearson or McGraw-Hill, have supplied public schools with printed textbooks and audiovisual materials. These textbooks are presented to the students by the teacher. Students are henceforth instructed largley based on these textbooks and what information is contained inside them, though teachers may supplement them with other material. Again, these textbooks are based on averages: what a hypothetical neurotypical child at a particular chronological age should learn in a particular grade in school.
Policies and laws for homeschoolers regarding curricula requirements or even access to the use of public school resources, including printed textbooks or academic courses, vary widely. Only a handful of states, including Minnesota, have laws that state homeschoolers have a legal right to borrow textbooks. With most states, it is a gray area. In many states, such as Massachusetts, the public schools are not legally obligated to loan textbooks to homeschoolers, though school districts may allow homeschoolers to borrow them upon request and written permission.
Perhaps not surprisingly, traditional curriculum publishers and other companies, including Microsoft, are aggressively marketing to the growing number of homeschooling families and those who supplement their child's public school education. To be sure, there is a huge market of educational supplies from traditional textbooks to classes and various software programs today. The costs of these educational supplies can vary: from free or inexpensive to hundreds or thousands of dollars. Such costs can soar rather quickly. But, unless these educational supplies differ remarkably from standard public school curricula and materials, they will still be pitched to what ta hypothetical neurotypical child at a particular chronological age should learn in a particular grade.
By using open source, families who homeschool or supplement a public school education may flip or extend this model of learning and not go broke in the process. Families are able to create a personalized learning environment (PLE). They can record a child's learning with a blog, wiki, web, or other means. They can share methods of learning, information, or create ePortfolios with Mahara. They can ask questions, compare notes, and seek advice. They can find and use as many or as few of materials as they like. A child can progress at their own speed and rate. Sites, such as Library of Books, Links, & More and the Sravani clan, deserve a lot extra credit and attention for helping so many others like me and sharing their knowledge and educational journey so freely and openly.
A child in a public school, by contrast, often faces limits with their learning and knowledge acquisition. Most schools have written policies on textbooks, the number of library books a student may borrow, and Internet use. Usually, printed textbooks are loaned to students under certain guidelines and parameters. Oftentimes, public schools simply lack access to printed materials. For instance, calculus textbooks are often not kept in elementary schools. Public high schools, too, simply cannot duplicate the range and depth or breadth of courses that a college usually can offer; and a school's lack of ability to access such courses or material outside the range of a public school's offering can frustrate students. For example, sociology may be an elective in a public high school, but there usually has to be a teacher available to teach the material and there also has to be access to a textbook or educational materials available to students for the course to be offered. Without this access and availablity to a teacher or educational materials, students are often out of luck.
Although there is nothing in the Common Core that prohibits student acceleration, this issue can become particularly thorny, especially with math. School districts usually determine math placement by age, classroom performance, and/or with tests. Policies on math placement, however, vary widely. Some states test at the end of 5th and 6th grade; other states do not test but require students to apply for permission and demonstrate mastery based on some other criteria. Some states wait to make decisions or course offerings on advance math placement until middle school or high school.
Outside of public school, there are national programs, such as the Center for Talented Youth (CTY) that recruits elementary and middle school students throughout the US and world based on standardized tests, but it's questionable how many public schools (or parents) are familiar with this program, and the courses are still expensive (and possibly cost prohibitive) as well. But without advanced math coursework, students are often prevented from many university degree programs and later future careers that require such advanced math coursework.
When my son was 5 years old and in pre-kindergarten, he was watching PBS Cyberchase online at home and plucked out the word tesselate. After my jaw hit the floor, he defined the word and showed me how to tesselate with his blocks. At our local public schools, the concept of tesselatation isn't introduced until 5th grade. Yet I knew that I had a potential mathy kid on my hands, who was exposed to higher math concepts at home and capable of comprehending them. I didn't want to damper his enthusiasm for math or for learning. So, I become an open source/twice exceptional advocate for my son and others like him. I found sites like Library of Books, Links, & More and the open educational journey became easier and less daunting.

While my comment does not relate directly to the use of Open Source tools, there are many that can be used to facilitate growth and learning.
As a parent of a gifted child, I can't stress strongly enough tha value of music education. We started our son on electric guitar just shy of 7 years old and we have been reaping the benefits ever since. There are direct links between music education and virtually ALL other academic subjects.
We specifically credit music to our son's excellence in Latin. He did Latin II in class last year while in 9th grade while simultaneously working through the Latin III curriculum with his teacher after school. Oh, and he started high school at 12 years old.
We found that the magic age for starting music, actually learning a specific instrument, is around 7 years old. The reason for this is that this marks probably the last developmental milestone we see as parents. This is when a child goes from being a little kid to just a kid. Prior to this, they remember the things that they did from 3-6. But their awareness expands and they begin to lose those memories as they move on. By starting music at 7, it becomes very easy to integrate it in their daily lives. They may know that they did not do it before, but they have no memory of NOT doing it.
Here is the proof that our kid rocks: http://www.reverbnation.com/winstonstemler These are ALL his originals with Winston playing all instruments except drums. :)
I recommend the works of John Taylor Gatto.
As a father who homeschooled a non-exceptional child, I found that she flourished far better than in any of the Prussian-model schools. The govt schools, and their "Common Core" mandated curricula, are not good for anyone, "special needs" or average.
Anyone who loves their children should do the single best thing for them that they can do: Get them OUT of the govt schools!
I often referred to homeschooling as open source education. I'm sure my kids (and most HSers that I know) would have done fine in school. However, at home they thrived. They were able to dive deep and spend hours and hours and hours on the things that interested them. In both cases they were able to really excel because of the time afforded them to focus on their passions. That environment could be recreated in the school system. But I wouldn't bet on it happening anytime soon.
On a side, I introduced my son to Linux when he was in 7th grade. I also gave him a couple of very good books on learning C and Linux game development using SDL. He wrote his first game in 8th grade (Tuxblocks - still up on sourceforge). He wrote several games during high school (Eternal Labyrinth - ported recently to Android and in Google Play) and is actively working on OpenRPGMaker (again on sourceforge).
He just recently was accepted into Digipen for fall 2014 to work on a degree in Computer Science and Game Design.
My point is that opensource offers far more opportunities for self-teaching, especially for gifted individuals. They can learn how logic systems work by reading and following the flow of a program's source, and so much more.
As a former homeschooler (we were taught to say "home-educated" to sound fancier, haha), I can say that this article really got me excited about the future of homeschooling. My experience was, frankly, a mixed bag as I was left with some emotional bagged as a result of the more deeply religious culture of my parents' approach to homeschooling (pretty common among my generation of homeschoolers, actually), but recently I've been struck with the positive potential for homeschooling, and open source experience and learning really jumped to mind as one of the biggest strengths.
I'll be bookmarking this and sending it to my friends who are interested in homeschooling, and I wish you well!

The best price on a proven part.
This is a very good cassette with excellent build quality. I would recommend this cassette for anyone who wants low gears.
Can't find a better price for the Ultegra 6700 cassette. Shipping a bit slow to the U.S., but we'll worth the wait. Great product, good shifting. Wonderful company.
Great buy as usual and great service
Have used 11-28 and 12-30 Tiagra, 105 and Ultegra cassettes on two bikes over the past few years. I definitely like the Ultegra cassette the best. Shifting performance definitely improved with the Ultegra cassette and the difference in weight in the driveline is noticeable. For the small price difference, Ultegra is definitely the way to go for a replacement cassette unless you're trying maintain a super tight budget.
Still using the original after 13,000 miles and 2 1/2 years. Know it should be replaced based upon that, but no sign of any necessity to do it yet.
This is a lower gearing then my last cassette and it makes a big differance. The cassette shifts smooth and quite, I have about 200 miles on it and found no problems.
It's a Shimano ultegra cassette so yeah its good! I got the 12-25 to replace my 11-25 and I really like it. Having the 16T is great and shifts smoother through the bottom. I really don't miss the 11T I just spin up the 12T and get in a tuck when going downhill and I am going about the same speed.
I've run ultegra cassettes for years and they are just asas good as dura ace but cost half the price. Smooth and quiet. Can't go wrong. PBK shipped it out fast and I received it in a reasonable amount of time considering I'm in the USA.
Awesome cassette that enables my legs to last much longer on climbs. I can now big ring a lot of things and no need for more shifting!
This is for sure a little piece of excellent engineering. It is substantially lightweight comparing it to the top of the line similar products. Easy to clean, very quit shifting operation… at a bargain price. Love it !!!
I love the smooth,fast and quiet shifting. It also runs very quiet. Overall a great product, especially at PBK's low price.
Living in the Prairie State of Illinois, it's more important to me to have a road cassette that lets me dial in my cadence than to have a wide range of gears or shave off the last few grams. The CS-6700 12-23 is one the few Shimano/Sram 10 speed road cassettes that includes an 18 cog, which turns out to be pretty important for performance and longevity. Each shift from 19 to 18 to 17 increases your workload by 5.5 to 6%. Moving from 19 to 17, you need to work nearly 12% harder for a single shift. More practically, your cadence at 20 mph changes by 10 rpm vs only 5 rpm with the 18. When you replace a cassette, it's usually due to the wear and tear on few, highly used cogs. Whether you run a standard (53t) or compact (50t) chaining, you'll spend a lot of time in the 17-19 range if you typically ride at 18-22 mph and pedal at 80-95 rpm. That 18 can extend the life of the cassette by reducing time spent in neighboring cogs. A trade-off to the tight cluster is losing the 11 cog. With a 50 tooth chainring, the 12 cog can get to about 33mph at 100 rpm. Rarely do I need more torque or speed than that. But for those occasional sprints and descents, the 11 would add another 3 mph at the same cadence, offering a bit more speed before spinning out. This Shimano cassette runs as smoothly as the SRAM PG-1070 on two of my bikes with otherwise Sram Rival drivetrains, so no compatibility problems. Overall, it's a great solution when finding the right rhythm is more important gearing up for climbing or racing
Nice step up from 5700. Clean shifts, quiet run. Best price & great service from PBK - as usual.
I think the Ultegra cassette is a great value compared with the more expensive cassettes. Keep a good chain on and change it out before it gets stretched and your cassette will last a long time.
Great product at excellent price. The only reason for 4 stars instead of 5 is the prolonged shipping time
With CN6701 this cassette is a great combo. Smooth/easy sailing with chain and shifters. I shouldn't have waited so long to upgrade. Thanks Probikekit for your prices too, nothing was close
This is one of the best all-round lightweight cassettes out there. The Ultegra cassette is more durable than the top of the line Shimano Dura Ace, and at a negligible weight penalty. Your price can't be beat. Thank you. Skyman
I have a Specialized Roubaix that came with Shimano Ultegra components. The original cassette was a 12-27 that I got used to. When it was time to replace it, I couldn't find this gear ratio. However, the 11-28 was widely available. I am loving this new cassette! It matches up nicely with the cassette on the front. I only drop down into the 28 when I really need the low gear on a nasty climb, probably because I was used to a 27. The 11 on the bottom is fantastic. I don't spin out when at high speed trying to push over rollers or staying in a high-speed pace line. Overall I give this cassette top rating.
This ultegra cassette not only gave me the correct size and quality performance over my old shimano hyper glide cassette , but what makes me be totally satisfied with my purchase is that I'm saving around 100 gr . I appreciate it so much , thank you probikekit
The 11-23 combo is perfect for the flat roads I ride in FL. Ultegra is easy to install and very smooth shifting. I haven't seen cassettes at this low a price, an excellent value, maybe because 11 speed is becoming the new standard. I bought a couple to get me through the next 30,000 miles and am considering a second order. Just a note: it might take a while to receive yours although mine arrived just a day after the estimated delivery date. Don't wait until the last minute.
Great tech and value in this cassette. Recommended.
It was time to change out my Shimano 105 cassette, so I decided to upgrade to an Ultegra. I had one on my Trek and it work good. I have installed this one on my new carbon wheels. I haven't tested it yet, but I know it will performed good.
It's an excellent cassette for training , and racing , specially for the flats of South Florida area . Light , robust , and the best price in the world here .
You can always count on the Shimano products to be a great product and Probike to deliver at a great price. Thanks
This cassette is strong, shifts quickly and quietly when properly tuned. The weight savings over Dura-Ace is not going to be felt (certainly there are better ways to save weight--like put less water in your water bottle. Amazing value for the price and rock solid.
Upgrading my travel bike to account for mountainous destinations and advancing age. Wanted a 30 sprocket, so bought a longer cage derailleur and this CS 6700. Works wonderfully, and I'd definitely recommend it.
If you are riding a Shimano 10-speed drivetrain then this is pretty much the best cassette you can get. It comes with a 1.86 mm spacer so that the cassette can also be mounted on wheels designed for 11-speed cassettes. Easy to mount.
I ordered this cassette for a friend who had some seriously-worn cogs on his old Ultegra 6700 cassette on his race wheelset. New cassette + new chain = crisp shifting again. PBK's price was unmatched, and delivery was on-time.
After my local bike shop indicated I needed a rear cassette and chain I starting comparing the pricing and was very impressed with ProBikeKit. Placed my order and 10 days later it was on my doorstep at a significant savings from my local options. Both the cassette and chain were in original Shimano packaging and in excellent condition. They have now been installed and have made the shifting much smoother. Would highly recommend as long as you have the time to wait.
Great product in original packaging and came on time. Thanks ProBikeKit for great service.
Ultegra is an incredible bang for your buck and lasts forever. This cassette gives you a few extra teeth for the steep hills here in Colorado, shifts perfectly, and you never have to think about it.
Bulletproof! I'm not sure why you'd go to Dura Ace on this kind of part. Not a component you want to shave weight on. I run Ultegra or 105 on all my bikes and they wear very well and last. Good value for the money.
I purchased this cassette for two reasons. . . 1. I needed an additional cassette for my backup wheelset 2. I LOVE having 12-30 gearing! I chose this cassette because of it's weight (12-30 is 270g) my Tiagra 12-30 was over 340g. It shifts very smoothly but my rear deraileur needed adjusted slightly. Not sure why considering they were both the same exact gearing? If you haven't tried 12-30 gearing yet, you will probably love it. I have rather strong legs but the object is to work smarter, not harder on those ridiculous climbs. I could have went with a Sram 11-32 but I would have felt like a school girl spinning a 32 teeth cog :) Great Shimano quality, decent weight, excellent price, attractive ratios. Try one out!
These are the ideal compromise of weight vs. durability for a cassette for the recreational rider. 30 tooth gear on this cassette is a great ace in the hole if the hills get too steep or the rider too tired. These were provided as loose parts in a plastic bag like OEM parts would be packaged. This was not stated in the description but at the low price they were offered at, I would have purchased them anyhow. Missing the box is no big deal, but I like to have the plastic center piece to stack the pieces on after I wash them and before transferring them back to the freehub. If you have a 10 speed Shimano drive train this Ultegra cassette is a great deal that won't hinder performance.
I have Dura Ace equipment on my road bike and SRAM force and rival mix on my cross bike and on both, when the cassettes needed replacing, I tried the Ultegra level cassette. As compared to the Dura Ace option, the Ultegra is much better value. It is nearly as light, and appears to last a little longer in use. For my SRAM group, oddly, I find the Ultegra cassette shifts more smoothly but that could be because my bike could have been spec'd had a lower spec SRAM cassette. This cassette is a great piece that is a solid value and the performance is also very good.
Put it on right after I got it. A 35 miles ride tells everything. I went uphill without any problem. Did not use too much power as before. This can help me to take easy on my knee which I am having problem now. Love it and will get another one for my other bike. Will have a hilly ride this weekend and I believe this new cassette resolves my problem.
I must say with all sincerity, this is the best cassette I have bought since The Eagles, The Long Run! Ride on Brotha's!
Nice add on to be able to spin up climbs. After all how many leg presses do you have per day? The body is a much more efficient cardio machine than it is muscular. Spinning is winning, I threw this cassette 12x28 on my race bike and I dig the extra climbing gears. If you were concerned about the top end and needed an 11 tooth, you could always swap it out. Works with my normal sized rear derailleur.
I've been using Shimano Ultegra components on my bikes for the last 15+ years. I've never had a component related failure. With regular cleaning and lubrication I have been able to get in excess of 10,000 miles on an Ultegra cassette before I noticed a significant drop-off in performance. I don't have a bottomless bank account, so I chose to go with the modestly priced Ultegra component group over the Dura-Ace. Yes, the Ultegra is a bit heavier, and the finish detail is not as sexy but it's every bit as performance oriented and reliable as the Dura-Ace for much less money. And over the years Shimano seems to trickle down technology and design features from Dura-Ace to Ultegra and even 105 so that the differences become less noticeable. For the price that PBK sells this cassette it was an absolute no-brainer for me. I bought an 11-28 to compliment my 12-25 and provide more gearing options for the rides with significant elevation gain !
1. Great price from Probikekit as always. 2. Light weight and has the right combination 11-28 to go with my compact crank 34/50. Without this, I wouldn't be able to get to the ski lift at Mount Baldy in southern California. Overall, it is a great cassette to have on days where you have long climbing ahead.
Found the 12-30 ratio for my climbing helps. Excellent cassette. Shipping is ok speed but a little hairy with no tracking international.
This cassette is perfect for both racing and training. its durable and has great longevity while being stiff, smooth, and light. its also a great upgrade if you are currently running a 105 cassette. Definitely a must have for this price.
Bought this cassette to provide me with a few more options on hillier rides. Performs great!
As the lady friend added road cycling to her biking repertoire, she missed the uber low gearing of her mountain bike. Even the compact/28 tooth cog left her feeling strained on some of the bigger hills in the area. After a determination the rear 105 derailleur could support the larger 30 tooth cog, the change was academic with a slight readjustment f the 'B' screw and was well received (if only the psychological benefit.) Personally, while there is a quality and weight enhancement moving from the 5700 to 6700 cassette, I personally like the gear spacing better . . . so much so I changed out the 12-27 on my 'cross bike with this cassette (total order of 3 cassettes.) For me, it provides the better ratio steps to 27 teeth with a 'bail-out' 30 for old guys like me in the sand and deep mud. Shimano quality, great price, and problem solved.
I am in the process of replacing the drivetrain's critical (and worn) components on our road tandem and, for the cassette, rather than replace-in-kind, I chose the Ultegra 12-30T cassette. That because the 30T big cog will make riding around in the mountains of Western North Carolina a lot more pleasant! That benefit on top of a great price and on-time delivery, Thanks!
Excellent cassette. No need for Dura Ace.
I run this cassette on all of my bikes. Best value, especially for the price at PBK. Shifting is butter, and durability outlasts all the hours of riding.
This cassette performs fantastically! It was exactly what I needed, and a great upgrade from the old, worn out 105 Cassette I had on my CX bike. Great price, too!
The Shimano Ultegra CS-6700 Bicycle Cassette works as expected, great for hills, easy on flats. I would buy again, best price anywhere, will continue to buy from PBK.

The recent heist of Pappy Van Winkle has created a heated black market for fans of this rare small batch bourbon, considered the best in the world by most critics. A recent survey revealed a very limited quantity on reserve at a handful of noted restaurants. Many of those plan to offer it to select customers during special occasions.
Bottles of Pappys 20-year-old batch released this year sell online from $1,300 to $2,000 a bottle. There is, however, a glimmer of hope for Charleston Pappy enthusiasts who manage to secure a VIP ticket to Bacon and Bourbon on Saturday, Feb. 8.
In addition to pours of this rare Pappy Van Winkle, a VIP ticket rewards guests with lectures from bacon and bourbon experts at an exclusive pre-event Charcuterie Hour. The kickoff from 6:30-7:30 p.m. pairs rare bourbon with signature charcuterie from Barsas chef, Cole Poolaw and Wild Olive/Obstinate Daugthers chef, Jacques Larson. Only 100 VIP tickets are available at $75 each and an additional batch of 50 tickets will be released in January for $95 each.
General admission for Bacon and Bourbon is $60. This all-inclusive ticket features unlimited bacon-centric bites from 12 area restaurants and bourbon from 16 distilleries, including newcomers Striped Pig and High Wire Distillery.

In September, Darlene Jessee, the Northeast Tennessee Multiple Myeloma Support Group Leader, attended a Harley Davidson 9/11 Remembrance Ride to serve food with her daughter. Right before the event, Darlene found out that her Representative, Rep.Phil Roe (R-TN) was scheduled to speak.
The night before, Darlene studied the materials she was given by the Advocacy team at the Support Group Leader Summit so that she would be prepared to talk to Rep. Roe about HR 2746, the Cancer Coverage Parity Act of 2011.
At the event, Darlene was lucky enough to corner him for a few minutes to tell him about the bill. His assistant took her phone number and promised to give it to the appropriate staff person for follow up. A couple days later the staffer called Darlene and listened as she spoke about the importance of the bill. He said he would talk to Rep. Roe about it and get back to her within a week.
We asked Darlene to share her thoughts about this experience…
"I was very excited to talk with Phil Roe on September 11th. He was very interested in learning more about the Cancer Coverage Parity Act. I will be following up again with his assistant this week.
The more I talk with cancer patients and hear their stories, the more I realize that we all need to work to get the Cancer Coverage Parity Act passed. This will affect all families at one time or another, including children, grandchildren, and extended family. Please, all IMF Support Group leaders encourage your members to call their representatives. Together, we can make a difference."
If passed, HR 2746 will require health insurers that already cover chemotherapy to cover oral anticancer medications on a basis no less favorable than intravenous or injected anticancer medications. Insurers cannot raise the out-of-pocket costs of IV nor can they reclassify anticancer medications to achieve compliance.
Congratulations and THANK YOU to Darlene for being Advocate of the Month for October!
How You Can Help
Please email your US Representative and ask him/her to co-sponsor HR 2746 TODAY!
Contact your Representative's district office or DC office and ask that he/she co-sponsor HR 2746. If possible, schedule a face-to-face meeting in the district office. To locate your Representative's district office, visit our Action Center at www.advocacy.myeloma.org.
We have drafted everything you need for a district meeting including talking points, advocacy tips, and materials to leave with Congressional staff at the meeting. All of these documents are posted on our website.
If you are not yet an IMF advocate, please sign up here.

CIF State Football Championship Division IV Bowl Game- Solana Beach (Calif.) Santa Fe Christian vs. Modesto
(Calif.) Central Catholic at Home Depot Center at 4:00 p.m.
The state bowl games kickoff with a matchup of teams from the SacJoaquin Section and the San Diego Section. Santa Fe Christian is led by their quarterback-running back combo of Hunter Vacarro behind center and Tony Miro at running back.
Meanwhile, Central Catholic is led by one of the top tight ends in the West, John Mundt, a commit to Oregon, who also plays on defense, and has been a huge part of the Raiders' success this season, on both sides of the ball.
CIF State Football Championship Division I Bowl Game- Long Beach (Calif.) Poly vs. Granite Bay (Calif.) at
Home Depot Center at 8:00 p.m.
Long Beach Poly, regarded as arguably the top talent producer in all of high school football over the past twenty years, is once again loaded with college level talent at several positions.
The top overall prospect for the Jackrabbits is sophomore cornerback Iman Marshall. The elite 2015 corner has been stellar all season. Junior safety John Smith has great size, physicality and ball skills and has a handful of offers. UCLA linebacker commit Jayon Brown is another big-time prospect that plays with a lot of passion and attitude.
On the offensive side of the ball, Washington State tailback commit Gerard Wicks is a tremendous power backs and is a great get for Mike Leach. Manusamoa Lu'uga also carries the ball for the Jackrabbits. Junior quarterback Eban Jackson took control of the Poly offense last week in their win over Clovis North.
Granite Bay has rebounded from a 1-3 start and is playing in the state bowl game for the first time. They're led by Beau Hershberger, the linebacker who's been the anchor of their defense this season.
Grant Caraway runs the Grizzlies offense and the two-headed running back duo of John Cooley and Tony Ellison has been a key to their streak, combining for over 2,700 yards.

Keira Knightley found herself in a dogfight – for screen time – when her four-legged costar in Seeking a Friend for the End of the World turned out to be more of a screen hog than a screen dog.
"He had an amazing ability to find the camera," Knightley told PEOPLE of dog Aleister. "Even if he wasn't meant to be in a shot, you'd suddenly find him. It'd be my close-up and suddenly the dog would be right there licking my face."
Aleister, a rescued terrier mix, plays Sorry, a dog whose owner leaves him tied to an unconscious Steve Carell in the apocalypse movie with a twist.
"He's a lovely, lovely dog with pretty bad breath," Carell said at the movie's Los Angeles Film Festival premiere. "But apart from that, just a joy to work with."
Carell confirmed that he witnessed Knightley's struggle to keep Aleister from upstaging her scenes. "He was always getting in Keira's shot," he said. "Below frame, she was always pulling him down so his head [wouldn't be in the shot]."
"He had this uncanny ability to find the lens," Carell added. "But he wouldn't look into the lens – he'd just kind of open himself up [to it]."
In spite of his scene-stealing behavior – "He's a star, obviously," Knightley said – Aleister garnered plenty of praise from his human co-star. Said Knightley, "Aleister is an amazing, amazing dog."

on December 30, 2012 - 4:00 AM
Through the eyes of a child, and the voices of her family, Madeleine Korbelova Albright saw her homeland played as a pawn in the run-up to World War II, then crushed by Josef Stalin. Later as a senior policymaker for President Bill Clinton she watched her native Czechoslovakia flourish in the Velvet Revolution.
"Prague Winter" – history wedded to biography – is a reminder to those watching Islamic extremists menace Israel, of the horrors of the Holocaust, of anti-Semitism run wild. And, to a generation that never knew, or forgot the Iron Curtain, the book is a cold, matter-of-fact chronicle of the way Communism by means of conspiracy, lies and murder smothered one of Europe's most elegant cultures for more than four decades.
Even so, the volume is a riveting, sometimes charming page-turner, from Albright's narration of Czechoslovakia's founding and its 6 century-old Charles University to the murder of foreign minister Jan Masaryk after a communist coup in Prague.
Albright's father Josef Korbel, journalist and a leading Czech diplomat, brought his family to this country under the cover of asylum as Stalinists began to close in on all those who had worked for the Czech government in exile during World War II.
After graduating from Wellesley, Albright earned a Ph.D. at Columbia University, and in turns served Clinton as national security adviser, United Nations ambassador, and the first woman secretary of state.
(Albright is patron and mentor to Susan Rice, President Obama's U.N. envoy, but who will never become secretary of state thanks to a muddled story Rice agreed to deliver in September about the attack on the U.S. consulate in Benghazi, Libya.)
With the meticulousness of a Sherlock Holmes, Albright recounts the assassination by Czech patriots of the author of Hitler's "final solution," Reinhard Heydrich; the miseries and heroics of the Jewish ghetto in the ancient fortress town of Terezin; and the death of Mazaryk.
The assassination of Mazaryk, the son of Tomas G. Mazaryk, the founder of the modern Czechoslovak Republic, led to the assembly of the North American Treaty Organization, Albright writes.
Yet she weaves her father, aunts, uncles and cousins – "at least 25 of whom died in the Shoah" – through all these events. The story of how some of her doomed relatives carted off to crowded Terezin, denied even the basics of privacy and sanitation, encouraged the young by creating classes for painting and drama, is unforgettable. Yet Albright manages to do it without plunging into bathos.
Albright collaborated with writer Bill Woodword, as she has on previous books. His name is prominently listed on the title page and the book jacket. That may help account for the eerie detachment with which the most agonizing tales are rendered. And may explain the seamless way she segues from one calamity to another.
But it is Albright's integrity and intellect that mark this volume. Somehow, she is able to see the many dilemmas that faced Czech leaders over the years, such as President Eduard Benes' fateful decision to look to the Soviet Union as his small country's guarantor after the war ended. This was because, she relates, of the betrayal of Great Britain and France in 1938 as Hitler closed in and his fear of Hungary and Poland.
Albright explains what chiefly drove her to produce the work: The discovery by the Washington Post in 1997 that while she was raised as a Catholic, the Korbels were really Jews who converted in part to make life easier in a state where prejudice, while not as virulent as in Germany and France, ran deep.
Albright ends the work with observations about extremism, and some indirect criticisms of President Obama, whom she supports, for failing to observe the letter of international law on drones and torture.
This is not a monumental, ponderous work of history. It is not always clear where the threads of some anecdotes precisely begin. It is instead a well-told, really irreplaceable story, told with warmth and wisdom.

politicians across the U.S. have already made their mind up about
climate change and refuse to consider recent allegations of academic
misconduct among prominent climate researchers, or other plausible
explanations for climate change, such as sun
cycles. Across the country, there are many folks that
haven't blindly accepted the theory, though.Utah's heavily
Republican state legislature has passed
a new resolution which condemns climate change alarmism.
The resolution lacks any legal authority, but vocally criticizes the
anthropogenic global warming community for ignoring recent
developments.The legislation, which resoundingly passed by a
vote of 56-17, originally referred to global warming theory as a
"conspiracy", but that term was stricken from the measure
in favor of "climate data". A small
excerpt from the measure is:
there has been a concerted effort by climate change alarmists to
marginalize those in the scientific community who are skeptical of
global warming by manipulating or pressuring peer-reviewed
publications to keep contrary or competing scientific viewpoints and
findings on global warming from being reviewed and
published; WHEREAS, the Intergovernmental Panel on
Climate Change (IPCC), a blend of government officials and
scientists, does no independent climate research but relies on global
climate researchers;WHEREAS, Earth's climate is constantly
changing with recent warming potentially an indication of a return to
more normal temperatures following a prolonged cooling period from
1250 to 1860 called the "Little Ice Age";
bill points out that pending warming legislation will earn its
proponents "more than $7 billion annually in federal government
grants". Originally those grants were referred to as the
"the climate change 'gravy train'", but that language was
removed from the measure.The bill is critical of the U.S.
Environmental Agency and President Barack Obama's calls to regulate
greenhouse gases nationally. Representative Mike Noel says
the warming scare is an example of profiteers posing as
environmentalists and exploiting the public for their own gain.
He states, "Sometimes ... we need to have the courage to do
nothing."Arizona is considering similar
legislation.The only potential downside of the measures,
is that they could give local environmentalists means to challenge
future nuclear plant construction in the states. President
Obama has championed
nuclear plant construction, but says that he's doing it to
"combat climate change."
quote: So now all these legislators are climate scientists as well?I'm not saying I believe one way or another. What I do know is that I don't know. This means I know one more thing than these politicians.
quote: This joint resolution of the Legislature urges the United States Environmental Protection Agency to cease its carbon dioxide reduction policies, programs, and regulations until climate data and global warming science are substantiated .
quote: This implies that they have not been substantiated. A politician is not in a position to make this determination. Scientists are.
quote: You just committed an ad hominem and an appeal to authority fallacy in one passage.
quote: Yeah, you really are an idiot. You just committed an ad hominem and an appeal to authority fallacy in one passage.

Sister Wilma Holler, a Sister of St. Francis for 72 years, died Friday in Millard Fillmore Suburban Hospital, Amherst. She was 93.
Born Geraldine Holler in Buffalo, she entered the congregation in 1940. She studied at the former St. Clare Junior College in Williamsville and at Mount St. Joseph's Teacher's College, now Medaille College, Buffalo.
For 50 years, she taught in elementary schools, in first through sixth grades. At times, she taught double grades and she also served as the school librarian.
Her teaching years began at Annunciation in Elma and included SS. Peter & Paul in Hamburg, St. Aloysius in Springville, Nativity in Orchard Park, St. Francis in Tonawanda and St. James and Sacred Heart in Buffalo.
For several years, she ministered to the sick in Tonawanda and then came to St. Mary of the Angels to help with community service and to do supportive correspondence for many.
Most recently, her ministry was one of prayer and loving presence.
A Mass of Christian Burial will be offered at 9:30 a.m. Tuesday in the chapel of St. Mary of the Angels, 201 Reist St., Williamsville.

Perceptual dominant color extraction by multidimensional particle swarm optimization

Issue date: 2009
Citation: Kiranyaz, S., Uhlmann, S., Ince, T. & Gabbouj, M. 2009. Perceptual dominant color extraction by multidimensional particle swarm optimization. EURASIP Journal on Advances in Signal Processing 2009 451638, 13 p.

Color is the major source of information widely used in image analysis and content-based retrieval. Extracting dominant colors that are prominent in a visual scenery is of utmost importance since the human visual system primarily uses them for perception and similarity judgment. In this paper, we address dominant color extraction as a dynamic clustering problem and use techniques based on Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) for finding optimal (number of) dominant colors in a given color space, distance metric and a proper validity index function. The first technique, so-called Multidimensional (MD) PSO can seek both positional and dimensional optima. Nevertheless, MD PSO is still susceptible to premature convergence due to lack of divergence. To address this problem we then apply Fractional Global Best Formation (FGBF) technique. In order to extract perceptually important colors and to further improve the discrimination factor for a better clustering performance, an efficient color distance metric, which uses a fuzzy model for computing color (dis-) similarities over HSV (or HSL) color space is proposed. The comparative evaluations against MPEG-7 dominant color descriptor show the superiority of the proposed technique.

The legal stakes rise in the NFL lockout as the NHL throws their hat in the ring. It only is a matter of time before the NBA and MLB weigh in as well.
Reggie Bush is enjoying the lockout, and his comments will not help the trade association formerly known as the NFL Players Association (Where's Prince when you need him?).
Destinations for Randy Moss are being tossed about, and I am sure fans of the mentioned teams are just screaming in excitement, or maybe that is horror—there is no way to tell from here.
Unless the lockout is lifted, most of the news will be based on speculation and rumor, so enjoy today's news for what it is as I run down all the headlines and try to inject some entertainment into the whole thing.

Prison housing options will be revealed Friday
February 3, 2013
A consultant's recommendations to alleviate Lycoming County's increasing prison population will be unveiled at the next county Prison Board meeting scheduled at 8 a.m....
Someone on the Sun Gazette's Facebook page responded to this article by saying that they could just build up onto the current prison. Makes sense to me. So do some of the other comments here.

Eric88 - Have to disagree as to "real crime" not getting jail time. Most of the "real crime" becomes a state prison sentence. You never really see how long inmates are held pre-trial or the length of time between a guilty plea and sentencing. In all honesty, most cases receive little to no coverage nor do arrests.The D.U.I's are a long list. We can also complain about county coffers but in fairness the county hasn't raised taxes and seems to be solvent. I do see your point but I don't think our judges sentence according to incarceration profit. Judges are not county employees. This is just a tough situation with no easy answer. Perhaps more use of GPS devices would help with some offenders and good time could be a consideration for sentenced inmates if allowable with a county sentence.

All great points but you have to look at the big picture. The courthouse wants all of the beds filled at either facility. Full beds equals more grant money. New facility with even more beds means more income for the county. They will justify the investment for the future revenues. The county prison system is a HUGE cash cow for the county.
The big money is made from child support and probation violations. Average sentence for each is 3-12 months. Between rent and grants per prisoner lots of money flows through there straight to the county's account.
Also does anyone notice under sentencing in the paper theft and real crime rarely gets jailtime? The courts determine by the amount of $$ they can recieve from a prospective customer jailtime/income$ or slapped wrist and returned quickly back out on the street

Eric 88 - Thanks. (I'm not sure why the word rock appears). I also believe with the installation and usage of "online" hearings, arraignments, etc. the work load for Sheriff's transporting inmates will be reduced. My guess would be the "old" prison facility will be used for another purpose. Pre-Release could be moved to the jail location. This might actually enable more inmates to work who are PRC eligible.
2 Agrees | 0 Disagrees | Report Abuse »
Spike2- Excellent comment! Also 98% of the uninformed public does not realize that we have a county"for profit" prison system in place already. Between grant money and inmate rent the county makes a tidy profit off the "correctional racket" in the county.
Boo-hoo'ing by commissioners and sheriffs on transportation costs is a ruse....Does not cost the county extra..Merely cuts into the profit margin of shared grant money from the state.
4 Agrees | 0 Disagrees | Report Abuse »
The "old prison is not large enough. There is no land for an expansion. As Artesancus points out, 1st time DUI's rarely go to jail unless unfit for arraignment. We do not have "petty theft". Fines and Costs and Domestic Relations, "civil contempts" do go to jail. Inmates without an acceptable parole plan stay in jail. Inmates of medium grade offenses without significant community ties are usually unable to get bail reductions. Pre-Release is a work facility for sentenced inmates who have employment or can be placed on a work crew. I believe the statistics will show most are pre-trial detainment or sentences less than 23 months.On one hand people want tougher sentences on the other hand you have prison overcrowding. I doubt that anyone saw the massive increases coming when LCP was built. Capacity is far greater than the other "old" prison. I doubt if the population can be reduced by enough "small crime" offenders to create enough space. Rock

It's rare that someone gets sentenced to the county prison for possessing marijuana, "petty" theft (whatever THAT is), or DUI unless (1) he/she has prior criminal convictions or (2) it's a second or subsequent offense. Probation is the result for these types of crimes.
