>Running 101>Race plans - 10k, 5k then HM
Thanks for the input guys.
I knew I was going out too fast, but I really didn't know what i was capable of. Jeff mentioned in the "what does race pace feel like" thread that I might be capable of sub 22:00 and I figured I would never know unless I tried it. I actually didn't feel too bad at the end of the first mile and was still clicking along pretty good through about 1.5 miles. Started hurting and slowing down after that, still was under 7:20 avg pace at the end of 2 miles, but I really was sucking air on mile 3. Thought about walking to try to catch my breath, but just kept going as hard as I could go. Tried to pick it up at the last 100 yards, but just couldn't get it done.
I ended up 63rd out of 376 finishers in the 5k (there were 263 in the 10k on the same course) and 1st out of 24 in the fat boy division. The field had some pretty slow movers in it. They had some trouble with the time and my official time is now showing at 24:06 although the clock showed 24:00 when I crossed the line. I didn't look at my phone when I crossed the line so no idea which would be correct so I guess I have to go with the official posted time.
I'm thinking of running another 5k in two weeks. That wouldn't be a smart move if my half marathon coming up in a month was a big goal race, but I'm not super focused on running a great time on it. It is a tough course and a small field and I think it would be rough to really try to push it and I think I could go sub 2 hours pretty easily right now unless something went wrong.
If I am going to run the 5k in two weeks any recommendations for workouts the next two weeks? I need to get a long run in this weekend for the half marathon coming up, and my wife thinks I should do some mile repeats in at 5k goal race pace. I think a slower tempo run would be good for half marathon training and 5k training so that sounds like a plan too.
For sure I will not go out as fast, I'm thinking starting at a 7:25 pace and try to negative split it a little.
Age: 49 Weight: 202 Height: 6'3" (Goal weight 195)
Current PR's: Mara 3:14:36* (2017); HM 1:36:13 (2017); 10K 43:59 (2014); 5K 21:12 (2016)
The good thing about 5k is that it's short enough that you can race them often. You can find the right pace by trial and error. Pick a time that you think you should be able to run... go out at that pace and stick at it. If you manage that time, then next time take 15 seconds off it and repeat. Eventually you'll find what you're actually capable of at a given level of fitness. If you fail then start out at a more conservative pace.
Once you find that time the challenge becomes figuring out how to train to improve your fitness so that you can continue to bring the time down.
I think you're capable of a 23 minute 5k right now, you just need some practice racing them. If 7:25 is your 5k pace then going out in 6:55 is complete suicide.
I think you're capable of a 23 minute 5k right now, you just need some practice racing them. If 7:25 is your 5k pace then going out in 6:55 is complete suicide.
Race day adrenaline makes that 6:55 pace feel like 7:30 pace which is where you'd likely need to be if targeting 23:00. You were likely even faster than that 6:55 if you had to dodge other folks.
I'd practice running that pace for 200 m intervals. That is a short enough interval that you'd want to run it much faster (and probably should, if the workout purpose is not diaing into the pace), see if you can hit those in no faster than 52-55 sec
Okay. I guess my workout today confirms that I should be able to run close to a 23:00 5K and I just ran a bad race and I think the antihistamines didn't help things either.
Workout today was supposed to be a 1 mile warmup then 4 miles of an increasing pace Tempo with splits of 8:15, 8:05, 7:55 and 7:45 then a one mile cooldown.
Warm and sunny. 80 degrees, 20% humidity, wind NE at 9 mph.
I bought a new HRM today and it wasn't working at the start so I had to stop and re-pair it after the first mile warmup so that doesn't show on the splits, but it was a 1 mile warmup at a 9:38 pace. I got the HRM working very quickly and changed the workout to just start with the Tempo portion right off the bat. When I was running them I felt like I got close, but was a little fast on the first couple miles. Tied my shoe on mile 2, but still made my split. Last mile was tough to make the 7:45, but I thought I did. The way my phone works it tells me my split pace at .25 mile increments as I go through that interval, but when it gets to the mile mark it tells me to start the next interval but doesn't give me the final split for the one I just ran so I just try to run the same pace for the last .25 miles of the interval that I do for the first .75 miles. I guess I must speed up a little on the last .25 miles though because my final splits all came in faster than I was expecting.
Here's my splits.
Those last 3 miles of the Tempo would have put me in at 30 seconds slower than the first 3 miles that I ran in my race Saturday, and that was after I had already run an 8 minute mile on the first part of the Tempo. And I was feeling WAY better at the end of those 3 miles than I was at the end of the first 3 miles of my race! This was 80 degrees and sunny vs. 66 degrees during the race. I was working for that last mile, but no where near the effort I was putting in during the race. My max HR is 194 so I was getting close there at the end of mile 4, but I didn't get into the 180's until right at the end of the 3rd mile of the Tempo.
Oh well. I pushed this a little faster than I should of, but I really wasn't trying to those first couple miles. I felt really good through the first 3 and just started getting a little uncomfortable on the 4th mile, not feeling like I wanted to walk or anything like that. I couldn't have kept that pace for another mile, but I could have kept it up for another 1/2 mile probably, maybe a little more.
I really think I have the sub 23:00 in me, the only thing that I'm not taking into account is that my GPS is showing a little over the actual mileage so my avg pace is probably a little off. On a race with a lot of turns like the one on Saturday it is even more pronounced. I think the race I'm going to run next will be a fairly straight out and back so hopefully my GPS will match up pretty close to the actual distance.
Oh well. Long run on Saturday probably isn't going to help my 5K the next Saturday, but i need to get it in for my Half Marathon coming up, but I don't think it will affect me too much. Not sure if I should skip any speedwork the week of the race and stick to all easy runs or if I can get some speedwork in on the Tuesday before the race on Saturday.
Any thoughts? Thanks, Nathan
How often to you run without your phone and HRM? I still think you have way too much unimportant data and not enough of the important data that comes from that incredibly sensitive and precise instrument known as your body.
I think you should map out a 3 mile course somewhere, do a 15 minute warmup of easy running, run a 3 mile tempo with no external feedback, then do a 15 minute cooldown. Wear a $30 timex stopwatch, hit the lap timer at the start of your 3 miles and again at the end, don't look at it in between.
During the 3 miles focus on feeling fast but controlled. Remind yourself often that you are running 3 miles but the goal is to finish those 3 miles feeling like you could go another mile at that pace if you had to. Try not to cheat and get into a race effort--when you hit 3 miles you should be able to hit the lap timer and then slow to an easy pace and go right into your cooldown. Your breathing should be heavy but not out of control (no urge to stop and put your hands on your knees, etc.) and you should be able to return to "normal" breathing after 1-2 minutes of easy paced running.
It might not go well the first time. You may have to try it a few times to get the hang of it. You'll need a couple of easy days in between tries so it may take a few weeks before you get the hang of it.
This is a good workout, to be sure, but it's also how you learn to control effort, which is what you need to learn to race well. Racing is a max effort. Effort is not the same thing as heart rate or pace. Heart rate and pace are indicators that can help approximate a level of effort, but they are not effort.
Oh, and Long runs definitely help your 5k.
Runners run.
Thanks for the input.
I actually just finished going 3 weeks without my HRM. (My old one quit working and I just now broke down and bought another). What I found myself starting to do was run my easy runs too fast. Not terribly too fast, but creeping up on it. I ran a 10 miler weekend before last with hills and ended up at a 9:17 avg pace. Probably not so fast it affected anything, but getting close, especially with the hills. For comparison, now that I have my HRM working again I ran 6 miles this morning on a very nice cool morning and ended up with a 10:11 avg pace at 71% Max HR. (I was shooting for 70%, but I ran it just a tiny bit too fast, I'm actually calculating my number right now, my max HR is 194 X .70 = 136 is my target HR on my easy runs, this also matches my MAF rate). I do really value the objective input that a HRM gives me, I don't trust my sensitive instrument called a body, because my mind will usually tell me whatever I think I want to hear. Yeah, this feels easy, sure this is easy, maybe you should pick it up a little....
I have run with my phone set to not give audio cues before and just looked at everything after the run was over. It was interesting, but not a life changing experience or anything. I spend a lot more time looking at the numbers and paying attention to them after the fact than during my run. On the tempo I just ran yesterday I had no goals on what my HR should be or anything, I was just trying to make those splits.
I've really only been doing speedwork for two months now after a summer of base building so I think I'm still seeing some improvement.
I know long runs are good for a 5K, I just wasn't sure if a 12 mile run a week before a 5K race was a good idea. Thats a pretty normal long run for me and I plan on running it easy so I think it will be okay, but I was planning on having some hills in there again. I'm thinking I'll end up with a 10:00+ avg pace on it so it should be a very easy run.
Any input on a speed workout on Tuesday before the race on Saturday? Should I do one or just get in some easy miles? Would that 3 mile effort based run with my phone set not to give audio cues be a good one? I have several 3 mile courses I could run so I wouldn't need to rely on my GPS. When my phone is on the armband I don't look at it, I just rely on the audio cues. On these Tempo runs I've been having it set to give me audio cues every .25 miles, but I generally have it set for every .5 miles.
When it all comes down to it, I don't know why I'm so focused on getting what I consider a good time on this 5K. Whatever time I post up is slow compared to about 90% of the folks on this forum. But that's one very neat thing about running. I'm not racing against anyone else right now, I'm racing against myself. Winning the Clydesdale division in that 5K was nice, but I would have been happier going sub 23:00 and finishing 3rd! ;-)
Any input on a speed workout on Tuesday before the race on Saturday?
Any input on a speed workout on Tuesday before the race on Saturday?
Big fan of this prerace work out on a Tues.
4 X 800m at 10K effort. 90 sec rest between. Follow that up with 4 X 200m at 800m-1mile pace. Great prerace peak work out to keep yor legs going but not beat you up. The rest of the week should be easy miles - do some striders on Friday the day before race.
Those who try, fail! Those who do what it takes to succeed, succeed!!
Got a good long run in this weekend and set a PR for me with 42.5 miles for the week.
Workouts this week right now are:
Today = 4 miles easy.
Tuesday = TChuck's workout above, modified slightly so I can do the intervals on my phone. 4 X 800m at 8:00 pace with 250m recoveries then 4 X 250m at 7:00 pace with 250m recoveries. I might wear a watch so I can try to check my intervals a little better instead of having to wait until the workout is over before seeing how fast I ended up running them.
Wednesday = 6 miles easy.
Thursday = 4 miles easy.
Friday = I had been taking the day before off, should I run just a couple miles on Friday with some strides?
Saturday = Race Day - 10:30 am start instead of an early start like usual. Probably eat a normal breakfast around 7:00 or so, just stay away from any dairy (I had a bad race one time after eating 2 bowls of cereal with milk before the race). For sure a mile or so warmup with some strides, maybe 1/2 mile warmup, 1/2 mile at 8:00 pace, 1/2 mile cool down that finished about 15 minutes before the race starts. Forecast is for cool temperatures right now. (50ish for a high that day). What do you guys think about warming up before the race? Just 1 mile easy with strides or throw a 10K pace Tempo in there for 1/2 mile in the middle?
Any thoughts?
Thanks, Nathan
Did TChuck's workout today after work.
Warm one out there today! 86 degrees, 21% humidity, wind SSW at 15 mph. Intervals in the park by the office. Supposed to be 4 x 800m at 8:00 pace with 250m recoveries followed by 4 x 250m at 7:00 pace with 250m recoveries. Based on audio cues I think I ran the 800's too fast and the 250's too slow, but I never know until I check it after the fact. Overall 8:39 avg pace counting warmup and cooldown. 158 avg HR. Seemed like a good workout anyway.
Looking at the numbers after the fact I did run the 800's a little too fast, but the 250's were good except the last one and no idea what happened there. Didn't intentionally slow that one down, but I was running it uphill a little and into the wind so I guess that affected it a little? I didn't feel like I was struggling on it or anything. Maybe the way the GPS started or stopped that interval was off a little. Also on those short splits that may would have only been about a 6 or 7 second difference in the actual splits but that extends out to a big difference for the pace per mile. The Runningahead won't make these splits with the mix of miles and km's so this is from the runkeeper app.
Felt like a good workout, a sharpening, not a beating. My HR ended up at 158 for an average and only got up to 181 for a max at the end of the 3rd 250m interval which makes sense because that was my fastest one. I only hit 178 on my 4th 250m interval so that does tell me I wasn't putting out as much effort on it as I thought since it should have normally been up a little higher than the 3rd interval if I was putting out the same effort. My recoveries seemed good, my HR was dipping down into the 140's on the first couple and then in the 150's on the rest.
Just a few more easy runs on the agenda the rest of the week. Still would appreciate any recommendations on Friday whether to do a couple easy miles with strides or take it completely off and then on Saturday before the race whether to just jog a easy 1.5 miles or throw a 1/2 mile in there at 10K race pace.
Why not rest or go very very easy on Thur. Save Friday for your w/u... meaning run easy with strides on Friday.On race day you could do a very light w/u with no strides.
And we run because we like itThrough the broad bright land

I have no clue. I've read about a dozen articles on tapering for a 5K and they have gone from no need to taper at all, to 100% complete rest for 3 days before and everything in between.
I know I don't want to do any hard workouts the couple days before the race, but was thinking 3 or 4 easy miles today and a couple easy miles tomorrow wouldn't affect things much one way or the other and I do have a half marathon coming up in 2 weeks so I don't want to completely quit running.
On race day I've had the same suggestions from no warmup, just some dynamic streching to running a 1/2 mile warmup then 1/2 mile at near race pace and then a 1/2 mile cooldown finishing just 10 minutes before the start of the race. I did that last bit (the 1/2 mile warmup, 1/2 mile at near race pace and then 1/2 mile cooldown) on my 10K a couple months ago and beat my goal time handily, but I did it a few weeks ago for my 5K and blew up although I did a bunch of other things wrong that race too.
I think I'm going to do 3 miles easy on the treadmill tonight so no strides and then play it by ear on what's going on tomorrow. If I can fit in a couple easy miles then I'm going to do them, if not, I will call it a rest day. Leaning toward just a mile or so warmup with maybe a few strides on race day.
Would be nice to get a jog in today to keep up blood volume. A warm up for the 5K would be 1-2 miles. Toward end, run 2 min at near 5K effort. You can finish 10 minutes before or even 20 minutes before. But do get a few striders in before the gun goes off. I prefer a slow 1.5 - 2 miles but if it is warm out, I only do a mile as I don't want to heat up too much before the race. You will do well. Just don't hammer it out too early in the race.
I have no clue. I've read about a dozen articles on tapering for a 5K and they have gone from no need to taper at all, to 100% complete rest for 3 days before and everything in between.
In my experience, the benefits of tapering are minimal to negative unless you're running really big mileage. If I'm averaging an hour per day of running or less, there is basically no benefit to tapering mileage other than maybe the last couple days, I just take 2 or 3 very easy days before a race. I never taper for non-goal races and even for goal races, if I'm averaging more than an hour per day, only taper down to about the hour per day level, except for maybe the last 2 days.
Definitely do at least a 15-20 minute warmup + some strides for a 5k. Generally the shorter the race the longer the warmup.

When I ran my 10K PR on a Friday night I had done the fastest 4-mile tempo run of my life on Tuesday afternoon. So two easy days in between. IIRC I had dropped my mileage down the week prior by just a bit....from ~100-105 to ~85-90.
Take a couple days easy before the race, it's enough. Don't over-think it.

I am spaniel - Crusher of Treadmills
Thanks guys. I'm really hoping to do better on this one than the one I ran a couple weeks ago.
Last night I did 4 X 400m intervals at 7:28 pace with 400m recoveries on the treadmill. My HR was getting up to right at 80% of Max at the end of the intervals and with the 400m recoveries it was getting all the way down to 70% of Max by the end of the recovery before I started the next. Only did 3.29 miles total and with the warmup and cooldown it was a 9:32 avg pace so I think it was still a pretty easy workout.
I'm going to do a couple miles today sometime hopefully late afternoon or early evening and will throw in a little bit of fast stuff.
Race time forecast is 33 degrees with 6 mph winds and it is a late start at 10:30 so I will for sure get in a couple miles very easy warming up with a few strides at least or some short 200m or 400m race pace intervals.
My biggest worry on this race is that I don't think it is a certified course and it's a first time event so hopefully it will be pretty close on the distance and the start won't be too big of a mess.
Hopefully by this time next year I'll have another couple minutes taken off my time so this whole PR thing is really just silly right now, but I'm pretty stubborn and for sure want to break 24:00 and it makes me mad that I didn't last time! I would really like to break 23:00 or at least get close!

NEW YORK (TheStreet) -- U.S. stocks erased early declines to close in the green on Monday as a White House official said President Barack Obama and Vice President Joe Biden were meeting in the afternoon with House and Senate leaders from both major parties about the nation's borrowing limit and the continuing government shutdown.
"The president will also reiterate our principles to the leaders: we will not pay a ransom for Congress reopening the government and raising the debt limit," the White House official said in an email to reporters. "The president continues to urge Congress to pass a bill that raises the debt ceiling and lends the certainty our businesses and the economy needs."
The S&P 500 added 0.41% to 1,710.18 after falling as much as 1.2% while the Dow Jones Industrial Average gained 0.42% to 15,301.07. The Nasdaq jumped 0.62% to 3,815.27.
Also boosting stocks was a report that Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid privately offered Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell a deal to extend the U.S. debt limit until next year and to reopen the government until mid-to-late December, according to Politico citing several sources familiar with the discussions.
"We believe this foolish game of chicken shows Washington lawmakers have a naïve sense of the economy and global markets," Craig Johnson, a Minneapolis-based senior technical research analyst at Piper Jaffray, said in a note. "We suspect markets will experience heightened volatility this week as the saber-rattling in Washington intensifies ahead of the projected debt ceiling limit being reached on Thursday."
Netflix was the top performer on the S&P 500 as reports emerged that the movie- and television-streaming company was in talks to add its service to set top boxes of U.S. cable companies. Shares of the company popped more than 7.5%.
Expedia (EXPE) was the largest percentage decliner on the S&P 500 on Monday after the online travel services company was downgraded to "hold" from "buy" at Deutsche Bank with a $51 price target on concerns about recent management changes at the Hotels.com unit as well as execution issues. Shares dropped nearly 6.5%

AN unnamed major restaurant chain is planning to breathe new life into a prominent town centre spot.
The former Jelf Clarke Roxburgh offices and the adjacent Malvern Curtains in Bellevue Terrace could be transformed into a prime eaterie, with investment development company Seven Capital acting on behalf of the applicant, whose identity is protected by a confidentiality clause.
Severn Capital's director, Damien Siviter, hopes the project will be delivered by the end of the year if the application is approved by Malvern Hills District Council.
Mr Siviter sadi: "It will be, in my eyes, a great benefit to Malvern. It will help to revive that part of the high street that has taken a bit of a nosedive.
"It is one of the larger operators in the UK. It will definitely generate jobs locally and go some way to revive that whole building and hopefully get some homes locally, too. "
He added: "The retail park has taken a lot away from the town centre but this will help by bringing a bit of extra life. As it's a national operator it can help improve confidence in the high street."
The former Jelf Clarke Roxburgh offices have been vacant since the firm moved to Church Street last year and Malvern Curtains now operates online after closing its doors last month.
Chris Marks, of Great Malvern Association of Traders, welcomed the possibility of the units being filled but acknowledged the loss of an established company.
"We will always welcome investment into the town. It's good a large high street chain has seen Great Malvern as a town they can do business in - they see the potential in the town."
Mr Marks added: "In reality we would have preferred to see a retail premise going in. We could do with having a few more new shops opening."
The application for 20-24 Belle Vue Terrace is for the change of use of the ground floor to restaurant use and the change of use of the first and second floors to residential use consisting of three one bedroom studios, five one bedroom and three two bedroom apartments.
It would also include alterations, part demolition and a two-storey extension to the rear.

Leiden University Libraries (UBL) has started the project Maps in the Crowd. Nearly 1,100 digitized maps of the Caribbean will be unlocked with help from visitors, students and others who are interested. The project started on the 20th of March and will continue until May 2017. With participation of the public we hope to improve the accessibility of digital map data for teaching and research.
A special application has been developed to help the participants connect the digitalized historical maps, through the process of georeferencing, to a modern topographical map in Google Maps. It is quite straightforward: the historical map and its modern counterpart can be connected by designating five or more corresponding control points. The georeferenced map will then be shown as an overlay in Google Maps. Everyone who is interested is welcome to join our project. More information is available on the blog Maps in the Crowd.
The Caribbean Maps
The collection of Caribbean maps consist of printed and hand-drawn maps (some of them in more sheets) and some atlases from the sixteenth to twentieth century of Central America and the Caribbean in general and the Netherlands Antilles in particular. The larger part of this collection is part of the bequest of the nineteenth century map collector Johannes Tiberius Bodel Nijenhuis (1797-1872), complemented with maps from the collections of the Royal Institute for Southeast-Asian and Caribbean Studies (KITLV) and the Royal Tropical Institute (KIT).

In the prior posting on Farmgateblog you learned from two eminent corn production specialists that not having your corn planted does not make you naughty and destined for a time out in the corner of your machine shed.
In fact, corn that has been planted in a few Corn Belt fields is struggling to survive in the cold, wet soil. And once you get planting, some farmers may not stop, come darkness or even breakfast the next morning. Which makes one wonder about the impact of planting late.
Since "Plant#13" is not getting underway until about the first of May in most parts of the Corn Belt, that means several weeks of April, in which corn is typically planted, will be shifted to May. While that justifies the bigger planter to your lender and your spouse, it also indicates more corn will be planted later than usual.
That is the premise of University of Illinois economists Darrel Good and Scott Irwin.
Is "later than usual" an indicator of future problems this year?
While Purdue's Bob Nielsen and Emerson Nafziger of the University of Illinois tend to say no in the April 25 posting, Good and Irwin agree to some extend and say good yields can still be obtained based on prior years.
However, everyone agrees that yields do decline at an accelerating rate in the later part of May. And Good and Irwin rhetorically ask, "What is late, anyway?"
Their answer is: "We have quantified late planting as the percentage of the U.S. crop planted after May 30 in years prior to 1986 and after May 20 since 1986. That quantification balances the results of agronomic research and regional considerations and is used here."
Looking at USDA data, they calculate that in the 42 years since 1971, about 15 percent of the corn crop was planted late, but varied widely depending on the season.
With only 4 percent of corn acreage planted by April 21, Good and Irwin say 81 percent of the crop needs to be planted before May 20 "when late planting begins."
Your ability to attend that party depends on the weather, and weather windows have been getting narrower, as indicated by the Good and Irwin research. But after all that is why you have a bigger planter. Good and Irwin say their research shows that for Illinois (you will have to calculate your own state) about 50 percent of the days in the last 10 days of April and the first 20 days of May are suitable for field work.
At this point we are getting down to about a dozen days suitable for fieldwork before the arbitrary "late" flag is thrown.
Can your equipment cover the required territory? Do you have extra hours of labor you can call on? Do you have the capacity to go all night long?
Some larger operations may already have a 24-hour schedule to cover tens of thousands of acres across many counties.
Good and Irwin say you are planting 15-20 percent more acres in a day than in the 1970's. With their calculation that a suitable planting day will allow nearly 5 percent of the acreage to be planted, they figure by May 20 about 75 percent of the corn acreage will be planted.
With a quarter of the crop unplanted by May 20, that would equate to 2009, when yields hit a record high of nearly 165 bushels per acre.
At a higher rate of planting per day, Good and Irwin calculate that only 9 percent of the crop would be unplanted by May 20 and considered "late."
So what are the implications of a late planted crop?
- They say to reach the average of 15 percent of the crop unplanted by May 20, a higher rate of acres planted per day than the 10 year average will have to be achieved. While some weather is expected to be good, there is also rain in the forecast and that may keep the planting rate behind average.
- The corn market has been softening for some weeks in reaction to recent USDA reports of large acreage, and new crop futures are as low as they were last June, prior to the onset of the drought. Good and Irwin suggest the market is not concerned because of the prospect for large acreage and plenty of corn with a trend yield. The economists say that near perfect corn production weather followed the late planting season in 2009.
Recent planting trends indicate that an average of 15 percent of the corn crop is planted after May 20. Based on the amount of corn planted to date, over 80 percent must be planted in the last 10 days of April and the first 20 days of May to take best advantage of higher yield opportunities. Also based on the typical amount of suitable field work days, that amount is cut to about 15, making the planting window smaller.
While increased acreage can be covered in a day with larger equipment, between 5 percent and 6 percent of the expected corn acreage must be planted per day between now and May 20, when yields taper off at a higher rate.

2014 Mazda6 Rated at up to 38 MPG Highway, Diesel Incoming

2014 Mazda6 pairs good looks with impressive fuel economy
Mazda may be known for "Zoom-Zoom", but the company's midsize sedan offering has never been a big sales success in the U.S. market. However, Mazda is looking to make its Mazda6 a credible player in a market dominated by the Camry/Accord/Altima/Fusion/Sonata.
The first key to catching the attention from buyers is with its more dramatic styling. While the midsize sedan category is known for its boring designs, entries like the
2011 Hyundai Sonata
2011 Kia Optima
showed that you don't have to be stuck driving a boring box. More recently, Ford wowed customers with its Aston Martin-esque
2013 Fusion
. The Mazda6 too brings its own design flair to the segment with eye-catching curves and creases. The huge grille may not be for everyone, but it seems to "work" on the Mazda6.
Mazda is also looking to attract buyers with its thrifty 2.5-liter Skyactiv four-cylinder engine. Rated at 184hp and 185 lb-ft of torque, the engine definitely won't make the Mazda6 a road rocket by any means, but it should have no trouble getting out of its own way. More importantly, however, the engine is rated a 25 mpg in the city and 37 mpg on the highway (29 mpg combined) with a 6-speed manual transmission (yay for manuals). However, if you step up to the 6-speed automatic, the numbers jump to an even more impressive 26 mpg city and 38 mpg highway (30 mpg combined).
And Mazda will also
take a page from Volkswagen's playbook
during the second half of 2013: it will offer a diesel engine in the Mazda6. The 2.2-liter Skyactiv-D will find its way to the Mazda6, offering up an alternative to the hybrid powertrains that are typically made available in this vehicle class. There is no word yet on what the EPA numbers will be for the diesel, but rest assured that they will likely surpass the already impressive numbers available for the gasoline version of the Mazda6.
"A politician stumbles over himself... Then they pick it out. They edit it. He runs the clip, and then he makes a funny face, and the whole audience has a Pavlovian response." -- Joe Scarborough on John Stewart over Jim Cramer

Open to all public and private high
schools in Massachusetts, the Mock Trial Program is a rich
curriculum that promotes the development of fundamental knowledge,
sound judgment and critical thinking skills. In Mock Trial,
students are placed in a simulated courtroom situation where they
assume the roles of lawyers and witnesses in a hypothetical
Every year, members of the MBA are
needed to serve as coaches and judges for the Mock Trial Program,
in which thousands of high school students across Massachusetts
prepare a hypothetical case and then test their skills as lawyers
and witnesses in a simulated courtroom competition.
Visit www.massbar.org/mock to learn about
the Mock Trial program from the inside out. The site covers the
following topics:
As a Mock Trial judge, you will attend an orientation session
and will be scheduled to preside over a trial in a courtroom near
your home or office. Each trial lasts approximately 2 ½-3 hours.
You may volunteer to judge as little as one trial, although many
judges prefer to judge more.
As an attorney coach, you will be matched with a teacher coach
at a nearby school and will serve as the team's legal advisor. Some
attorney coaches attend two to three team meetings throughout the
year, to assist the team in developing their basic strategy and
courtroom techniques, while others play a more active role in the
team - accompanying them to each trial.
The MBA's Mock Trial Program is generously supported by the
law firm Brown, Rudnick, Berlack & Israels
LLP and the Massachusetts Bar

The Mets gave up some outfield depth and right-handed hitting at the catcher position by non-tendering Mike Baxter and Ronny Paulino.
Baxter, a Queens native, had pop and could play the outfield corners. The move leaves the Mets in even greater need of backup plans for presumed starters Jason Bay, Andres Torres and Lucas Duda.
As for Paulino, his exit clears a path for Mike Nickeas, a good defensive catcher with a suspect bat.
The moves allow the Mets to officially add Jon Rauch and Frank Francisco to the 40-man roster, so they can quit sneaking around. Good for them!

Qualcomm Begins Sampling MDM9x25 - Category 4 LTE, 3GPP Release 10by Brian Klug on 11/18/2012 1:00 AM EST
14 Comments
Back to Article
xdrol - Sunday, November 18, 2012 - link"aggregate together enough spectrum to get effectively 20MHz. "
Does that mean, it cannot aggregate 2x 20 MHz, only e.g. 2x 10 MHz? Reply
Brian Klug - Sunday, November 18, 2012 - linkI mean for carriers that don't have 20 MHz of contiguous spectrum, they can aggregate 10 + 10 together and get to that 100 resource block, 150 Mbps rate that 20 MHz would give.
-Brian Reply
xdrol - Sunday, November 18, 2012 - linkBut in that case, the chip is able to aggregate 2x 20 as well, if there was such network, isn't it? If so, it is quite odd that neither Qualcomm nor you in this article emphasize it could do even 300 Mbps.
Also I've just noted: "inter-band and intra-band carrier aggregation for WCDMA, in addition to (..) DC-HSPA+." Wait. DC-HSPA+ is carrier aggregation already, what's the addition? Reply
name99 - Sunday, November 18, 2012 - linkNot necessarily. If they don't have enough calculation ability on board to perform the 2x as many FFTs required for 2x20MHz throughput, not to mention also calculating the FEC, then they can't do it.
And I would imagine that by now Qualcomm are very good at including on their chips precisely as much calculation as is needed for a particular target throughput and nothing more --- no point in wasting die and power on ability that is never used. Reply
WiWavelength - Monday, November 19, 2012 - linkRelease 8 W-CDMA supports HSPA+ as dual carrier or MIMO but not both. Furthermore, it supports DC-HSPA+ but only with directly adjacent dual carriers. Release 10 W-CDMA supports all of the above, and dual carriers can be adjacent, non adjacent but within the same band, or even in different bands (e.g. Cellular 850 MHz and PCS 1900 MHz).
AJ Reply
Kogies - Monday, November 19, 2012 - linkIn the LTE spec. a resource block is 180Khz, 100 of which make the 20mhz bandwidth, which is not to be confused with the band. With this maximum bandwidth and at 64QAM your antenna can only(!) spit 75mbps at the cell-tower. Thankfully you have two antennae, so you get 150mpbs. Whether you carve this into two 10mhz channels as an aggregate or have one 20mhz channel, you won't get past 150mbps. With Cat5 LTE you will have 4 antennae available, and thus 300mpbs. Reply
iwod - Sunday, November 18, 2012 - linkWhat is happening to VoLTE? Does it needs Chipset support to work? If yes i wont be buying a LTE devices soon.
Would this be lower power then 9x15? Reply
A5 - Sunday, November 18, 2012 - linkAs far as I know, VoLTE doesn't require anything beyond an LTE radio.
Since the whole point of VoLTE is that it treats voice the same as data, it just requires carrier and software support once you have an LTE device. Reply
iwod - Sunday, November 18, 2012 - linkThen lets hope we ditch 3G UMTS/WCDMA asap and move on to LTE. The constant switching from LTE to 3G / 2G signals only for voice is seriously killing the battery.
Answering my own question, on the Qualcomm page it seems this new 9x25 will be using the same 28nm process, but with smaller Die Size and lower power usage! Sounds like another candidate for iPhone 5S to me. and that is just a amazing piece of engineering.
The other thing is i have always thought LTE advanced will be more like 5G, as in how we move from 2G to 3G, now that it seems more like a HSDPA to DC-HSDPA thing. The max speed of the purposed 1Gbps will be achieved by aggregate 100Mhz of spectrum . Which gives a efficiency of 200Mbps per 20Mhz spectrum. Compared to Category 4 LTE modems on 20 MHz FDD-LTE see up to 150 Mbps of throughput. We have an 33.3% improvement in bandwidth. Which is still a very good upgrade, and may be we get lower latency number as well, but not anything close to the advertised 1Gbps. I mean which carrier actually own 100Mhz of spectrum? And decided to use it solely for LTE-A? Reply
DanNeely - Monday, November 19, 2012 - linkI suspect that 100mhz blocks are unlikely to show up anywhere outside the lab, possibly excluding rural broadband initiatives. In the bigger cities there isn't any TV spectrum available to be freed up without kicking stations) off the air; so short of either shutting broadcast TV down entirely (or a major restructuring to a distributed transmission setup like phone service) the only places large amounts of TV spectrum are going to be available to be freed are sparsely populated areas in the country. Those areas don't need more bandwidth for phones; but for residential wireless broadband with usage limits comparable to wireline services lots of spectrum would be needed. Combined with cell sizes of up to 100km this could push usable broadband out to everywhere except in the mountains (where LoS issues will also cause major problems for satellite based services). Reply
Peanutsrevenge - Monday, November 19, 2012 - linkUntil the inevitable happens and we finally switch to IPTV.

As if the Mets didn't have enough distractions, now there's this:
NEW YORK (AP) – A new lawsuit blames the owners of the New York Mets for letting their workers put more than $16 million in 401K assets into accounts controlled by jailed financier Bernard Madoff.
The lawsuit was filed in federal court in Manhattan today. It was brought by the wife of a former employee of Sterling Equities Associates, which owns the Mets.
The lawsuit claims that Sterling Equities and several of its top executives should have known that Madoff was carrying out a massive Ponzi scheme that cost thousands of investors billions of dollars.
A message left with a spokesman for Sterling was not immediately returned.
The court-appointed trustee who is recovering Madoff money for investors has said the Mets profited from their investments with Madoff.

Andrew's communication was excellent. He arrived a little earlier than planned. Andrew brought fresh coverings which he put down on the bathroom floor. He cleared up everything when he had finished. As an added bonus,Andrew's teenage son came with him and fixed the hinge on our garden gate at no extra cost.Thank you Gabriel. Andrew showed us how the fan worked & advised us the humidity sensor sometimes needs adjusting to suit personal taste and to contact him if these needs doing. Great job all round.

James was employed to do a complete rewire of a 1960's bungalow. He is a very conscientious worker who always arrived on time and often worked late to get the job done. He is a very polite and thoughtful young man whose main aim was to do the job as we wanted it done. However he was not afraid to make suggestions, which often were better than our own. He did a very good job for a very sensible price and we have no hesitation in recommending him to any future employers.

Jamie, the boiler was not on the quote because the boiler was not broken - its a brand new boiler and was working fine until you "fixed" the downstairs socket by taking the feed to the boiler and putting it to the socket leaving me with a working socket (great!) but no boiler (not so great). You can't fix one thing by breaking another and expect me to be pleased with the result. You only had to come back three times because you kept leaving mid job because of some crisis.

Today I picked up a 5-bone center cut pork loin roast that weighs about 3-1/3 pounds. It has a little bit of a fat cap but it doesn't cover the whole top of the roast.
Any ideas for cooking it? I'm thinking that on the rotisserie with some apple smoke would be nice but am open to suggestions as this is my first loin roast. Thanks!

How to talk LDAP from Erlang
From ErlangCentral Wiki
How to talk LDAP from Erlang
LDAP (Lightweight Directory Access Protocol) is described in RFC xxxx. It comprises of not just a protocol but also of an abstract model of the data. Basically, think of the data as being stored in a tree. Each node (or entry) has a name (a Relative Distinguished Name). By concatenating the RDN's, while traversing the tree, you get a path (or name) that uniquely identifies a particular entry (the Distinguished Name, DN). Data is modelled as object classes each class containing a number of mandatory and optional attributes. A particular LDAP entry can be seen as an instance of one (or more) class(es). Example of such an entry can be seen below:
dn: uid=tobbe,ou=People,dc=bluetail,dc=com objectClass: inetOrgPerson cn: Torbjorn Tornkvist sn: Tornkvist uid: tobbe userPassword: {SSHA}Rj4mgDuKguD1xqLRQ2V6YKEzRajNORA6 mail: firstname.lastname@example.com telephoneNumber: +46 8 555 55 555 facsimileTelephoneNumber: +46 8 444 44 44
Note the attributes to left, where the dn: at the top holds the unique name of the entry (the DN). As you can see, an entry may contain a (encrypted) password. This makes it possible to use LDAP for authentication of users. Normally it is often possible to search (or lookup) data without having to authenticate (it depends on how the LDAP server is configured). We will look at how we can use the eldap library to communicate with an LDAP server. </p>
In this example I have been using OTP-R10B-3 release and the jerl Jungerl start script. By using the Jungerl start script I automatically get eldap in my path.
Authenticate with eldap
We start by setting up a TCP socket to the LDAP server. The default port (389) will be used if you don't specify another port in the option list as {port,Port}. It is also possible to setup a SSL connection by using the {ssl,true} option (note that you then probably also should use the port 636).
1> {_,S} = eldap:open(["192.168.128.51"], []). {ok,<0.32.0>} 2> DN = "uid=tobbe,ou=People,dc=bluetail,dc=com". "uid=tobbe,ou=People,dc=bluetail,dc=com" 3> eldap:simple_bind(S, DN, "qwe123"). ok
Searching for an entry.
Now, when we have authenticated ourself, we will perform a search of an entry where we will retrieve just one single attribute. file.
4> Base = {base,DN}. {base,"uid=tobbe,ou=People,dc=bluetail,dc=com"} 5> Scope = {scope, eldap:baseObject()}. {scope,baseObject} 6> Filter = {filter, eldap:present("cn")}. {filter,{present,"cn"}} 7> Attribute = {attributes, ["cn"]}. {attributes,["cn"]} 8> Search = [Base, Scope, Filter, Attribute]. [{base,"uid=tobbe,ou=People,dc=bluetail,dc=com"}, {scope,baseObject}, {filter,{present,"cn"}}, {attributes,["cn"]}] 9> eldap:search(S, Search). {ok,#eldap_search_result{ entries = [#eldap_entry{ object_name = "uid=tobbe,ou=People,dc=bluetail,dc=com", attributes = [{"cn",["Torbjorn Tornkvist"]}]}], referrals = []}}
Note: Note that we have made use of the fantastic shell command rr/1
(as in rr(eldap)) before issuing the call to eldap:search/2. This givesus the output in a nice record format.
that corresponds to the default filter '(objectClass=*)' of ldapsearch.
As a variation, let us see what happens if we don't specify any attributes to be retrieved.
15> Search = [Base, Scope, Filter]. [{base,"uid=tobbe,ou=People,dc=bluetail,dc=com"}, {scope,baseObject}, {filter,{present,"cn"}}] 16> eldap:search(S, Search). {ok,#eldap_search_result{ entries = [#eldap_entry{ object_name = "uid=tobbe,ou=People,dc=bluetail,dc=com", attributes = [ {"objectClass", ["inetOrgPerson", "nortelSSLOffload", "extensibleObject"]}, {"cn", ["Torbjorn Tornkvist"]}, {"sn", ["Tornkvist"]}, {"uid", ["tobbe"]}, {"listName", ["contacts"]}, {"mail", ["email@example.com"]}, {"telephoneNumber", ["+46 8 545 55 023"]}, {"facsimileTelephoneNumber", ["+46 8 654 70 71"]}, {"description", ["/o=Demo/ou=First Administrative Group/cn=hejsan/cn=Servers/cn=inside"]}, {"title", ["inside"]}, {"employeeType", ["guest"]}, {"userPassword", ["{SSHA}/tsm+Mz8fQi/dBFzHpV2iXfO1O7LVPt3"]}, {"isdUserPrefs",[[131,104,3|...]]}]}], referrals = []}}
As you can see we got back the whole entry.

No Marc Staal (knee), so Ryan McDonagh slides into the first pair with Dan Girardi and faces the fun task for a youngster: facing Alex Ovechkin (=Monster) every shift. Maybe Dubinsky can fight him again and get him off the ice for five minutes.
Lundqvist is in goal. Eminger is back in, and will play with Del Zotto. Sauer and Gilroy.
Ruslan Fedotenko returns to the lineup after his shoulder injury and appendectomy. So Kris Newbury was put on waivers for the purpose of sending him back to the Whale.

Your gift to help a hardworking entrepreneur will double in impact thanks to a generous World Vision partner.
A World Vision microfinance institution approves the borrower. Typically, they are women in developing countries who do not have collateral or a credit history to secure a traditional loan. The local institution then gives the entrepreneur a loan. Learn more about why our loans are pre-funded.
After a borrower has been approved for a loan, their name, story, and business idea are uploaded to Micro for you to review and follow. While World Vision initially fronts the cost of the loan, donations are tracked such that they underwrite the exact entrepreneur of your choosing.
Read their story. See their business idea. Donate to help. With one in five people worldwide surviving on less than $1.25 a day, the need is great. Plus, your donation is always tax-deductible.
Thanks to your help, a borrower in a country like Rwanda could start a carpentry shop, buy farm animals, expand a small restaurant, or hire more employees for their weaving venture. These businesses can create jobs to benefit the whole community.
Once repaid to the local microfinance institution (the current repayment rate is 97%), your donation recycles over and over again to helping an ever-growing number of entrepreneurs in the same country.
Just one donation could help hundreds of people in the years to come! Families who receive microfinance loans have better health, increased income, and the ability to spend more on food, medicine, and education for their children.
Loans are woven into World Vision's holistic model to alleviate global poverty. World Vision partners with communities for 12-18 years to meet other basic needs including: clean water, nutritious food, health care, and education.

For those of you who started your Chicago Bear studs this week, you had yourselves a great Sunday. If you're just a fan of the team, you also had a great Sunday — even if you were facing somebody starting any Chicago Bears because a team victory trumps a fantasy victory any day.
Of course, the week after we tell you to drop Jay Cutler and he isn't worthy of a roster spot, he shows me up by tossing three touchdowns to Brandon Marshall. But with how good Marshall has been this year, somebody has to give him the ball, right? The defense is the defense, and special teams even made an appearance as Chicago dominated all three phases of Sunday's game against Tennessee en route to a 51-20 win.
Here's the weekly wrap-up of how your Chicago Bears did for your fantasy football team.
Quarterback: Jay Cutler – As we mentioned above, bad call on our part telling you to cut Jay Cutler. Should've known playing Tennessee would be be beneficial, but we didn't predict this. Granted, two of the touchdowns to Marshall came in garbage time with the game firmly in hand, but they still count on the stat sheet.
He accumulated 20.36 fantasy points in Yahoo! standard leagues making him a Top 10 quarterback for Week 9. Had he not lost the fumble, he would've been in the Top Five.
Running Back: Matt Forte – Matt Forte was the No. 6 running back this week. It's actually funny that the No. 1 fantasy running back, Doug Martin, more than doubled Forte's score. Even though Forte was almost 30 points away from the top, his 20.80 points were his best of the 2012-13 season. If this was a close game, god only knows how many points Forte would've had.
He received just 12 carries in this one, and took them for 103 yards. He even caught two passes for 45 yards. But his workload was cut significantly because of the score. Backups Armando Allen and Michael Bush received 10 carries each and were much less effective than Forte as the two of them combined for just 48 yards.
Wide Receiver: Brandon Marshall – Brandon Marshall was head and shoulders above all other wide receivers this week. He was a vacuum playing wideout as he reeled in nine of the 10 balls that came his way, three of them for six points. His 30.20 fantasy points were easily his best output of the season and he's making a case for himself as the best receiver in the NFL.
Other Skill Players – We don't know why we still waste our time here. Nobody did much of anything, and it'll likely stay that way until Alshon Jeffery returns from injury — or Michael Bush decides to be a touchdown vulture.
Tight End: Kellen Davis – Not one target for Davis this week. Luckily, he isn't owned in any fantasy league (or at least he shouldn't be for the 10,000th time).
Kicker: Robbie Gould – Gould was tied with Cleveland kicker Phil Dawson as the No. 1 fantasy kicker this week. Gould connected on all three field goal attempts, one from 40 yards out, and all six extra points. The performance gave him 16 fantasy points, and a total like that will happen when a team scores as much as the Bears did on Sunday.
Defense/Special Teams – Stop me if we're repeated ourselves, but the Chicago Bears were the No. 1 defense in fantasy football this week. How many times has that been said? Usually, the defense does it alone, but special teams decided to chip in with a blocked punt and touchdown of their own. Yes, aside from the eight points on that play, Brian Urlacher returned an interception 46 yards for a score giving the defense another eight points. In total, they finished with 27 fantasy points, making the fourth time this year they've totaled more than 20 points in a week.
This defense is a special defense, as we've alluded to earlier in the week, and they might be the most important player in terms of fantasy football this season, as they have 52 more points than the No. 2 fantasy defense in the league.
Don't expect another amazing fantasy week like this out of the Chicago Bears, but they should still put up competitive numbers for you the rest of the way.Tags: Alshon Jeffery, Brandon Marshall, Brian Urlacher, Chicago, Chicago Bears, Football, Jay Cutler, Matt Forte, NFL, Phil Dawson, Robbie Gould, Yahoo!

I just bought SnagIt for Mac a few weeks ago.
One of the things I use SnagIt for is taking screenshots of e-mails that I wish to post on my website.
Because these e-mails are sent to me, I need a way to complete remove my PERSONAL E-MAIL before I either save the screen-capture as an Image (e.g. .png) or as a PDF.
Is there a way to be 110% certain that some whiz cannot reconstruct the original screen-shot using something like Photoshop, and thus exposing my e-mail??
I played around with SnagIt's Erase and Pen tools, and then used "Flatten", but I am uber paranoid that my e-mail is still hiding underneath things somewhere...:shifty: :shifty: :shifty:
If it's saved without layers, there's no way of recovering the original image without having access to your machine (assuming you never closed the application and still had the image open)
Some more questions...
1.) Have you ever used SnagIt before?
2.) Would it be fair to assume that choosing "Flatten" would remove the layers and make it just one image?
3.) And would the be some way I could check the saved image just to be sure? (I don't have PhotoShop, but maybe I could try it in something like GIMP?) :-/
For several years. I've since found other options to perform the same functionality now, but I used it for a number of years...
That's exactly what it means. It takes the overlaid layers and forms one solid image.
If you really want, but unless you've got an image editor that can open the proprietary format (which is the only place the layers are actually preserved), you're not going to see them (if they're not flattened out). And even then, you may not see them - for example, Paint.net can save layers to pngs (it's ugly but it works), but they are not visible in the adobe products.
I wouldn't worry about it. If you're that worried about it, then make sure you crop out the identifying portions. Or make sure the identifying portions aren't visible before using snagit.
I have heard from someone else that using things like the "Blur Tool" can be reverse engineered...
If you really want, but unless you've got an image editor that can open the proprietary format (which is the only place the layers are actually preserved), you're not going to see them (if they're not flattened out).
Wait, so you are saying that if I blur out some text, and save it as a PNG - but I don't flatten it first - then I wouldn't see the blur effect?
I'm that worried about it.
I want to take an e-mail I received and put it up on my website, but I don't want my PERSONAL EMAIL to get displayed, or hacked some way!!!
Someone mentioned it might be better to use the "Cut Tool" in SnagIt so I remove the email and corresponding pixels. But, again, I fear that things could be reverse engineered...
(I'm really paranoid about Photos and Images, because I don't understand the technology well, and because they can contain hidden data like Malware, GPS Info, possibly Layers, and so on...)
BTW, would it be safer to do editing in something like GIMP or PhotoShop, which are probably more robust than SnagIt?
Personally, I think SnagIt is overpriced period.
If you blur it once, possibly - if the person knows what they're doing. Blur it multiple times, probably not.
Or just don't blur - crop...
No, I was talking about the layers.....
Are you talking about screenshotting (is that even a word) your email? If so, why not just copy the content as straight text over to your site instead of hassling with creating screenshots? A lot less effort, and gets rid of all this stuff you're paranoid about.
Or if you crop the image (cut out anything which is not needed for your screenshot), there's nothing to reverse engineer.
Not necessarily safer, but easier for sure - the editing tools in SnagIt suck, to be honest. There are numerous image/photo editing software packages out there, so don't limit yourself to GIMP (which I think is more difficult to use than it needs to be) or Photoshop (which is overpriced anymore).
If you are that concern use a PNG optimizer after editing the images. That will remove anything useless from the file. However, I don't believe it is common for PNG files to store a thumbnail like is it for JPEGs from cameras which is common.
If so, why not just copy the content as straight text over to your site instead of hassling with creating screenshots? A lot less effort, and gets rid of all this stuff you're paranoid about.
Certainly a backup option.
I was just hoping to use SnagIt so that I could capture the e-mail in it's native formatting (i.e. HTML) without tons of work on my end. (This e-mail I received is just funny - and a scam - and I'd like to share with people exactly what I saw when I opened said HTML e-mail.
Yes, another option. Except I want to capture the sender's e-mail in the screen-shot - to make a point - and since the e-mail follows the standard format...
...then if I crop out my e-mail then I'd have to crop out the sender's e-mail too.
Be VERY careful. Just because that email is listed as the from doesn't mean that's who actually sent it (if you look at the Reply-to, it most likely is different....). You might be better off just cropping both the from and to out of the email.....
How do I view the Email Header info to see who actually sent an e-mail and what the reply-to address is as well?
You know, I was just thinking...
Another option would be to hit "Print" in my Yahoo Mail, and then do "View Source", and copy and paste the actual HTML into NetBeans, edit out any references in the HTML to me, and then I could either...
[INDENT]- Save the HTML and provide a link to that new page on my website
Use SnagIt to create a cleaned up screenshot
Use SnagIt to convert it to a PDF[/INDENT]
You could argue that is a lot of work, but that would give me the best of both worlds, right?
(Or is there still some way people could find out my info, say from the embedded JavaScript in the cleaned up HTML I created?) :-/
Would depend on the client (I haven't used Yahoo mail for a couple years), but there's usually some way to "see original"
But if you put in on your site, why screenshot it?
Not if you delete the embedded javascript.....
No, that was an either 1.) Save the updated HTML to my website, or 2.) Create a screenshot of the updated page, or 3.) Do a PDF of the updated page.
Except if I stripped all of the JavaScript out, then I'd lose a lot of the formatting I want to keep on the Yahoo Mail page.
I guess I'd just have to really scrutinize the code, OR it would probably be easier and safer to just strip out the e-mail in the HTML, and then do a screenshot of the updated page, and not have to worry that I forgot something in the JavaScript code, which could easily happen!
Choices, choices!!
try [photo editing software, it's a [URL="http://www.arcsoft.com/topics/photo-editor/photo-editor-for-mac.html"]mac photo editor](http://www.arcsoft.com/photostudio/) as well as Windows editor with similar functions with PhotoShop with much more easier to edit photos with. You can sure superimpose one image on top of another and allow for captioning. You can also add special photo effects to your pictures with integrated editing tools, easy and works well.

1. To load an individual jpg I need to un-tar the month's images (I would like to avoid the time involved in un-taring)
2. Reading in individual jpg's is slow when I have to read in several day's worth of data.
Is there a practical way of storing the image data in a single file (more likely I will store data on a month-by-month basis again)? I think storing as a dictionary (key=datetime value, value=array (size=480 x 660 x 3)) makes sense, but I have issues in re-loading the data.
- Code: Select all
# Example
import datetime as dt
from scipy.misc import imread as ir
dts = dt.datetime.strptime
image = ir('skycam-current.jpg',flatten=False)
data = {}
data[dt.datetime(2013,01,01)] = image
# Then, to re-load the data
data = np.load('test.dic.npz')
When I re-load the data, I get a dictionary, of sorts:
- Code: Select all
>>> type(data)
>>> numpy.lib.npyio.NpzFile
>>> data.keys()
>>> ['arr_0']
If I try to recover the dictionary, I get a 0-d array
- Code: Select all
>>> a = data['arr_0']
>>> a.shape
>>> ()
Can anyone recommend a better method of either storing the dictionary, or storing the image data?
