This application claims priority from U.S. Provisional Patent Application Ser. No. 60/125,797, filed Mar. 23, 1999, and U.S. Provisional Patent Application Ser. No. 60/129,742, filed Apr. 16, 1999.
The present invention relates generally to machine vision systems, and more specifically to a system for rapidly reading data glyphs.
Automated document factories are mechanized assembly lines that may print, collate, label, sort, or otherwise process documents, such as bills, statements and advertisements, to be assembled for mass mailing. Examples of automated document factories are disclosed in U.S. Pat. Nos. 5,510,997 and 5,608,639, which are incorporated herein by reference. In an automated document factory, the documents to be assembled or otherwise processed often are identified by various symbologies printed on the documents, such as barcodes or dataglyphs, several of which are discussed in U.S. Pat. Nos. 5,276,315, 5,329,104 and 5,801,371, which are also incorporated herein by reference.
Data glyphs can be preprinted on stock permit automated identification of print stock to insure that the correct materials are being used. Data glyphs can also be printed on the stock as it goes through the printer to identify the intended recipient of the document or some other materials that should be associated with the printed item. By reading the printed glyphs during subsequent processing, collation and handling of documents can be verified and automated.
Documents in automated document factories are moved on conveyer belts, usually at high speed. As a result it is necessary to scan the documents quickly and process the acquired data in a minimum time. Preferably, a proximity sensor is used to monitor when a document or other object to be read has moved within range of a camera of the machine vision system. When the proximity sensor detects a document, a pulsed illuminator is triggered so that the camera may obtain a clear picture of the document to be read even though the document is moving continuously. The rapid flash of the illuminator "freezes" the document for the camera. Examples of pulsed LED and other light sources are disclosed in U.S. Pat. Nos. 4,542,528, 5,135,160, 5,349,172 and 5,600,121 which are incorporated herein by reference.
Unfortunately, although existing systems permit scanning of documents at sufficient rates, the process of analyzing the scanned data to extract the data encoded in data glyphs has been an impediment to rapid document processing. In particular, with existing systems, there is no feasible process for extracting the data glyph data from scanned images quickly enough to allow for real time processing of each document as it moves through a document factory.

A machine vision system 10 is shown in FIG. 1 and includes a camera 12, preferably a high-resolution digital camera with a CCD sensor and a 16-millimeter fixed focal length lens. An illuminator or radiation source 14, preferably in the form of a pulsed array of LEDs is used to illuminate a document D or other item to be sensed. The pulses of illuminator 14 and the image produced by camera 12 are controlled and monitored by a CPU 16.
A proximity sensor 18 is used to signal CPU 16 that the leading edge of a document D has passed beneath proximity sensor 18. CPU 16 then calculates an appropriate delay before triggering pulses of illumination from illuminator 14. Images from camera 12 are monitored by CPU 16 during appropriate time periods, based on the pulses provided by illuminator 14.
FIG. 2 shows a more detailed representation of the arrangement of the camera and related components of machine vision system 10. Camera 12 preferably is mounted approximately perpendicular to a conveyor C that carries documents D to be scanned. Illuminator 14 includes opposed, angled LED canisters 20 mounted on either side of camera 12, preferably at an angle A of approximately 21-degrees to either side of the axis of camera 12, as shown in FIG. 3. For glyphs printed on paper, it has been found that an array of twenty LEDs emitting approximately 690 nanometer-wavelength light works well with the LEDs grouped tightly in a cylindrical canister, and with a diffusing lens mounted between (or as part of) illuminator 14 and document D. One of the canisters is shown cutaway to illustrate its internal structure. Other wavelengths of electromagnetic radiation may be used, with appropriate changes of the radiation source and sensor, but the visible light source and sensor of the described illuminator 14 and camera 12 are believed to work well for most document reading.
The disclosed proximity sensor is light-based, and includes a fiber optic cable 22 that is mounted adjacent conveyor C, aimed approximately perpendicularly to conveyor C. Conveyor C moves at speeds up to 400-inches per second. In the disclosed embodiment, illuminator 14 is pulsed to produce a flash of light for approximately 10-microseconds, and approximately 10 separate images are taken by producing 10 separate pulses.
Various brackets, including a camera bracket 24, illuminator brackets 26, and proximity sensor bracket 28 are attached as shown in FIGS. 2 and 3 to mount the associated components. Brackets 26 preferably mount directly to bracket 24, through spot welding or screws, and brackets 24 and 28 mount to a supporting block 30.
A typical glyph 50 is shown in FIG. 4 with associated marks that may be present on the document to be scanned. The glyph includes rows and columns of symbols 60, including upstroke symbols 62 and downstroke symbols 64. Of course, other types of symbols could be used as well. The first step in reading the glyph is to acquire or capture an image of the glyph. Acquiring an image of glyph 50 involves capturing a series of images of overlapping bands 52 along a document 54, as illustrated in FIGS. 5-7. FIGS. 6 and 7 depict schematically the relative positions of the two sets of bands. Each band has a width approximately twice the size of the glyph to insure that the entire glyph is contained in one of the bands. Typically, the bands extend across the width of the document perpendicular to the direction of travel.
If there are known constraints on the position of the glyph on the document, it may not be necessary to acquire bands covering the entire document. For instance, if it is known that that the glyph will be printed at the trailing edge of a document, only that portion of the document need be acquired. Moreover, if the exact position of the glyph is known, it may only be necessary to acquire one small image containing the glyph, rather than a series of overlapping bands. Of course, it is also possible to acquire an image of the entire document at one time for subsequent processing. Use of bands, however, reduces the demand for memory since the glyph is typically very small relative to the entire document.
After acquiring images of the series of bands, the band images are processed to make a coarse determination of the location of the glyph. In particular, each image is divided into a series of square blocks 56 of pixels. The size of the block, for instance 32�32, is chosen to be slightly less than one-half of the size of the glyph. This insures that at least one of the blocks will fall entirely within the glyph. See FIG. 8.
Each block is processed to determine how much it resembles a glyph. This is accomplished in the disclosed embodiment by calculating vertical and horizontal projections for each block as follows: ##EQU1## See FIG. 9. These projections are then compared to a generally saw-tooth or step-function shaped reference projection or kernel based on the appearance of an average glyph. More specifically, a series of correlations are computed between the reference projection and the vertical projections to locate a maximum correlation for each block. It is necessary to compute a series of correlations because the location of the strokes within the part of a glyph contained in the block is unknown. Therefore, the correlations must be computed over a series of shifted positions or phases spanning a range equivalent to the spacing between strokes to insure that the maximum correlation value is located. A suitable reference projection is:
ref=[2, 1, -2, -2, -2, -1, 2, 2, 2, 0, -2, -2, -2, 0, 2, 2, 1, -1, -2, -2, -1, 1, 2, 2, 0]
It should be noted that the reference function only includes 25 elements to allow a complete correlation to be conducted at each of 8 shifted positions in the depicted example. Also, the values used in the reference function are chosen to reflect real world printing and image capture variations. Thus, the boundaries between rows or columns of strokes are not perfectly defined.
After computing the horizontal and vertical correlations for each of the blocks, an overall score is computed for each block as follows: ##EQU2## where the max-- hor-- cor-- block is the maximum correlation located in the particular block and the max-- hor-- col-- overall is the maximum horizontal correlation found in any block. The block with the maximum block-- score in any of the blocks in any of the bands is taken as the coarse location of the glyph.
Once the coarse position of the glyph is determined, the image is searched outwardly from the box to locate the boundaries of the glyph, as indicated schematically in FIG. 10. The outward search of the disclosed embodiment relies on the relative contrast between regions of the image containing strokes and regions between strokes. Typically it will be assumed that the brightness W of the paper will be at least twice the brightness of printed pixels B on the page.
As shown in FIG. 11, symbols or strokes in the disclosed embodiment are printed as an upwardly or downwardly oriented pattern of three black pixels on a five-by-five cell having a white background. It should be noted that the patterns for the two types of symbols have a region of overlap at the center where there is a black pixel for either stroke type. The vertical or horizontal projections through regions containing strokes will have an average brightness of 0.8W+0.2B, i.e., one in five pixels will be black along any line. Regions between strokes will have an average brightness of W because they contain no black pixels. By applying the constraint that W≧2�B, the ratio of the average brightness in stroke regions to average brightness between columns or rows of strokes is determined to be ≦0.9.
To find the extent of the glyph, a search is conducted in each direction from the center of the block outward until the edge of the glyph is located. The pseudo-code algorithm set forth in Table 1 illustrates how the search is conducted to find the right edge of the glyph. The searches in the other three directions are essentially the same.
TABLE 1__________________________________________________________________________// initialize valleys and peaks by finding the valley and// peak in the distance from one stroke to the nextprevious-- peak-- pixel = 0previous-- peak-- value = 0previous-- valley-- pixel=0previous-- valley-- value=0previous-- was-- peak=falsepixel = "center pixel of block"stroke-- distance="distance from one stroke to another stroke" while(pixel <= "center pixel of block" + stroke-- distance) //traverse one stroke distance { pixel-- value = h[pixel] if ("pixel-- value is less than all its neighbors") // at thebottom of a valley { previous-- valley-- pixel = pixel previous-- valley-- value = pixel-- value previous was-- peak=false } else if ("pixel-- value is greater than all its neighbors") // atthe top of a peak { previous-- peak-- pixel = pixel previous-- peak-- value = pixel-- value previous-- was-- peak = true } pixel++; // move to next pixel } // end while traversing one stroke distance contrast-- threshold = 0.9 while (pixel < image-- width) // while extending rightward { pixel-- value = h[pixel] if (previous-- was-- peak) // heading downward { if ("pixel-- value is less than all its neighbors" and(pixel-- value/previous-- peak-- value)<=contrast.sub.-- threshold){ // at the bottom of a valley previous-- valley-- pixel = pixel previous-- valley-- value = pixel-- value previous-- was-- peak = false} } else { // heading upward if ("pixel-- value is greater than all its neighbors" and (previous-- valley-- value/pixel-- value)<=contrast.sub.-- threshold) { // at the top of a peak previous-- peak-- pixel = pixel previous-- peak-- value = pixel-- value previous-- was-- peak = true } } if (previous-- was-- peak) { if ( (pixel - previous-- peak-- pixel)>=stroke--distance) break // should have encountered a valley by now } else { if (pixel - previous-- valley-- pixel) >= stroke--distance) break // should have encountered a peak by now } pixel++ // move to next pixel } // end while extending rightwardglyph-- extent-- right = pixel // record how far the search went on the right__________________________________________________________________________
Once the extent of the glyph is determined, it is desirable to more precisely locate the top-left corner of the glyph. In the disclosed embodiment, this is accomplished by running a correlation with a sparse kernel 70 as illustrated in FIG. 12. The kernel is divided into cells 72 corresponding in size to the symbol cell size. The spacing between non-zero entries in the kernel matches the cell size and therefore the interstroke spacing within the glyph. See FIG. 13. The non-zero values are positioned at the region of intersection of the two symbol types so that, when the correlation kernel is properly aligned, a strong response is generated for both upstrokes and downstrokes.
By placing positive values in the top and left rows and negative values in the lower right section, the correlation response is maximized when the kernel is centered with the upper left negative one centered over the top left stroke. When the kernel is centered at this location, the negative values are multiplied by the low brightness pixel values at the centers of the stroke and the positive values in the kernel are multiplied by the high brightness pixel values in the white space around the glyph. In searching for the maximum, correlations are typically taken over a range of 10-25 pixels horizontally and vertically, as indicated by the box 74 in FIG. 14. It should be understood that it is possible to ignore any entries in the kernel that are equal to zero when computing the correlation value. Use of a plus or minus one in the non-zero entries makes the correlation computation into a simple series of additions. Thus, although the effect of the disclosed system is to utilize a sparse kernel, the actual implementation would simply sum periodically spaced pixels in the image.
Having relatively precisely located the glyph and a starting stroke in the glyph, each stroke is processed to determine whether it is an up or a down stroke. The processing of strokes is summarized in Table 2.
TABLE 2______________________________________for each row in the glyph for each column in the glyph { <refine the location of the stroke> <read the stroke> <advance to the next stroke> } <advance to the next glyph row>}______________________________________
As set forth in Table 2, the first step in processing a stroke is to further refine the location. This is accomplished in the disclosed embodiment by searching for a minimum pixel over a block 78 of pixels centered at the expected center of the stroke. See FIG. 15. A typical size for this block is 5�5 pixels. This refinement process allows the system to accommodate slight printing variations in the stroke location or size.
After the refinement of the location of a stroke is completed, a square block of pixels centered on the stroke is correlated with an X-shaped kernel 80 as shown in FIG. 16. The X-shaped kernel includes negative ones in one diagonal and positive ones in the other diagonal. The entry at the region of intersection of the two diagonals is zero since the brightness of the corresponding pixel is not indicative of whether the stroke is an upstroke or a downstroke. If the stroke is a down stroke, the result of the correlation will be greater than zero because of the additive effect of the brighter white pixels in the other diagonal. If the stroke is an upstroke, on the other hand, the correlation will be negative because of the subtractive effect of the brighter white pixels on the downstroke diagonal. A threshold value can be incorporated wherein the system reports the stroke as unknown unless the result of the correlation exceeds the threshold.
The next stroke is located by adding the nominal distance between strokes to the refined position of the current stroke and then refining the location of the new stroke as previously described. This process is repeated for each of the strokes and the resulting pattern of upstrokes and downstrokes is converted to a string of ones and zeros. In the disclosed embodiment, the resultant data string is used to verify that the document has been printed on the correct stock, for example, or to verify proper association of documents. It should be recognized that the disclosed system can be used to locate and decode multiple glyphs on the same document, some of which may be placed on the document at different stages in the document processing, or be pre-printed on the document in the case of forms.
It should be understood that the pixel resolution of the image acquisition system might be different than the printing resolution. In such cases, appropriate scale factors are used to adjust the expected spacing between glyphs, stroke sizes and other known properties of the printed image.
Although it has been possible to read glyphs in the past, the techniques disclosed herein and the concepts embodied therein contribute to speeding up the process of reading glyphs sufficiently to allow real-time use in high-speed printing and document handling. In particular, using the disclosed system, it is possible to read glyphs in approximately 20 ms using a 266 Mhz Pentium II processor with an error rate of approximately one in one-hundred thousand.

LONDON, Jan 11 (Reuters) - Italy's bond yields fell, while the euro and Italian stocks rose on Wednesday, after a key court rejected a bid by Italy's biggest labour union to hold a referendum on recent rule changes that made it easier to fire workers.
The 2015 "Jobs Act" that the Constitutional Court backed was a flagship project in former premier Matteo Renzi's attempts to breathe life into the euro zone's most chronically stagnant economy.
Italy's 10-year government bond yield fell 6 basis points to 1.86 percent after the ruling, its lowest level in a week. It was trading at around 1.89 percent just before the announcement.
The euro rose around 10 ticks versus the dollar, still down 0.45 percent on the day at $1.0504, while Italy's FTSE MIB stock index hit a day's high to stand 0.4 percent higher on day.
The court accepted the CGIL union's proposals for two other referendums, however - on the use of vouchers to pay workers who have no contract, and on contracting companies' obligations to workers. (Reporting by Dhara Ranasinghe; editing by Marc Jones)

Herbed Cream Cheese
Recipe by AbsurdBookNerd
Posting for safe keeping. Haven't tried yet. Got this from Mary at a party. She says she got it from Paula Deen. Cooking time includes chill time.
Top Review by Lt. Amy
Made herbed cream cheese using this recipe as a base and it turned out very well. I didn't use the olive oil, butter or boiling water, but instead just blended the other ingredients with the cream cheese. Not sure what the extra fat/calories would have added to the flavor as it was great without them.
See Discussion:1 Review
Ingredients Nutrition
- 2 (8 ounce) packages cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup chopped fresh parsley
- 3⁄4 cup grated parmesan cheese
- 1⁄4 cup chopped pine nuts
- 2 garlic cloves, crushed
- 1 tablespoon dried basil
- 1⁄4 teaspoon salt
- 1⁄8 teaspoon pepper
- 1⁄3 cup olive oil
- 2 tablespoons butter, melted
- 2 tablespoons boiling water
Directions See How It's Made
- Shape cream cheese into a circle on the serving dish, make a well in the center; set aside.
- Mix parsley with the rest of the ingredients, mix well.
- Spoon mixture over the cream cheese; cover and chill at least 2 hours.
- Serve with crackers.

we got one or two times a day a "Server Busy" error.
After restarting the service (on our Win 7 Ultimate x64 machine) everything is fine for the next hours.
Only 3 admins are using spiceworks and some of our operators using the user portal to generate helpdesk tickets.
Most of the time you get the error when you are refreshing the helpdesk ticket view or trying to generate a new ticket.
The "Server Busy" errors were starting/going up after the final 5.3 version, maybe a little later, but definitely with Spiceworks 5.3.75902 and the actual Spiceworks 5.3.75925.
There are no useful informations in the computerlogs.
Any ideas where we can find more informations to locate the trigger?
Thanks in advance

I have seen this, and I have a feeling that it may be I/O based. have you got lots of things hitting the disk on that machine by any chance?

did you deactivate incremental scan?
Feb 24, 2012 at 7:18 UTC
@Darryl.L: No, there isn't a lot traffic or I/O on this machine, I checked the monitoring.
I forgot to mention that this machine is a VM. Shouldn't be a problem at all; it wasn't in the past...
@s.schwab: I deactivated it right now and will keep an eye on the results.
Thank you both for the fast answers and a possible lead in this case.
Feb 27, 2012 at 3:46 UTC
I'd start disabling plugins too, especially Bandwidth Monitor and Windows Performance Plugins if you have either of those enabled.
Is there AV on the machine and is the data stored locally or is it external like on a SAN or NAS?
Feb 28, 2012 at 3:22 UTC
@Aaron M: Yes, there is AV on the machine but spiceworks is excluded.
The database is locally on the machine.
After a view days without "Server Busy" errors (!) I would suspect the incremental scan that s.schwab mentioned.
We will observe this till the end of the week.
Mar 9, 2012 at 9:56 UTC
After watching over this for the last days we still had the Server Busy error for 2-3 times, but this time you could wait a few seconds, hit refresh and it was gone - no restart of the Spiceworks service necessary.
So I think deactivating incremental scan was the answer for us!
Thanks a lot.

Crisis Management 101
Bad things happen, and sometimes crises are unavoidable. I've spent time as an automotive engineer, a software engineer, a CTO and a startup founder, so I've had lots of opportunities to deal with crises. I've discovered that crisis management is a learnable and teachable skill, and I'd like to share my crisis management philosophy and procedure with you.

(continued from Answer above)
Relationship of the Parties: If you do not receive benefits such as medical coverage, vacation, or pension, you may be an employee or an independent contractor. However, if you receive benefits, you are probably an employee.
If you are an employee, your employer must withhold income tax and the employee portion of Social Security and Medicare taxes. Your employer must pay Social Security, Medicare and unemployment (FUTA) taxes on the wages you earn. Your employer must give you an IRS Form W-2, Wage and Tax Statement, every year showing the amount of wages paid and taxes withheld from your pay. As an employee, you have the right to deduct unreimbursed business expenses from your taxes on IRS Schedule A if you itemized deductions and meet the other requirements established by the IRS.
If you are an independent contractor, the employer must give you an IRS Form 1099-MISC Miscellaneous Income, to report what it has paid you. You must pay your own income tax and self-employment tax, and you may be required to make estimated tax payments during the year. You can deduct business expenses on IRS Schedule C of your income tax return.
The main test in California is who has the right to direct and control the "manner and means" in which the job is performed. This is similar to the IRS' Behavioral Control described above. California then looks at secondary factors, which include:
Are the services provided on a long-term or repeating basis? Is the worker paid based on the time spent working? Are the services an integral part of the employer's business? Does the employer establish the work hours? Does the employer determine how many hours will be worked? Does the employer dictate the order in which job tasks are to be performed? Does the worker spend all of his or her time working for one employer? Is the worker supervised? All of these factors tend to show the worker is an EMPLOYEE.
Is the worker in a distinct occupation or trade? Are the workers' services available to the general public? Can the worker hire, supervise and pay assistants? Did the worker make a substantial investment in facilities or services? Does the worker do the job without supervision? Is the worker highly skilled or working in a specialized field? Does the worker supply the tools and other materials used to do the job? Does the worker provide the location in which the work is performed? Is the worker paid at the end of the project? All of these factors tend to show the worker is an INDEPENDENT CONTRACTOR.
Also under California law, an employer can be fined for "willfully misclassifying" an employee as an independent contractor. The amount of the fine ranges from $5,000 to $15,000 per violation. If there is a "pattern and practice" of willful misclassification, the fine can increase to $25,000 per violation.
To find a plaintiffs employment attorney in California, please go to the web site of the California Employment Lawyers Association (CELA). CELA is the largest and most influential bar association in the state for attorneys who represent working people. The web site is www.cela.org. Click on "Find a CELA Member" and you can search by location and practice area. It is not always necessary to retain an attorney in your local area as many attorneys handle cases throughout the state.
I hope you can resolve your situation and wish you the best.
Awesome answer.
Thank You Mrs.Spencer that was truly an awesome answer i well take the necessairly step and advice to resolve this issue. Thank You Again
Superb answer, but she probably copied and pasted! She's clever.
I use macros, and have said as much on Avvo many times. There is no way I could provide this level of detail if I had to type the same thing out over and over again.
I know that Ms. Spencer; I was only kidding. You always contribute impeccable answers! You are thoughtful, candid, and very detailed. That is why you're the top of my list of Best attorneys of 2012! -DK
Only kidding - like your posts about getting away with murder and cannibalism.
Great answer!
I was wondering what would be the cause of action for such claim?
Generally, you would sue for unpaid wages and for indemnification, and possibly for unfair business practices. But your situation needs an assessment of the specific facts. You need to speak with an attorney, and do so quickly because the dates you worked are already a long time ago and you may lose all or part of your claim.
Thank you. I am looking for attorney. problems is I am student and I dont have the money for fees of any attorney.

- Is Sprint late with its transition to LTE?
- Yes! By the time Sprint starts offering LTE, AT&T and Verizon will have lured the majority of customers demanding the feature. 15.56% (115 votes) (115 votes)
- No! Sprint's aggressive LTE rollout will take the nation by storm and customers will have a worthy alternative to AT&T and Verizon if they demand high internet speeds. 33.83% (250 votes) (250 votes)
- Sprint is a bit late, but it had to hop on the LTE bandwagon sooner or later. The scale of the impact doing so will cause depends on how fast the LTE network gets unrolled. 50.61% (374 votes) (374 votes)

8:30pm 31st of March year 2012 was the start of Earth Hour.
What does Earth Hour means? Earth Hour is an event to turn the lights out for an hour to take a stand against climate change. It started in Australia, year 2007, where around 2.2 million individuals participated in turning their lights out for an hour. The year after, Canada and 35 other countries joined in.
Through the power of social networking, invitation to switch lights off was extended to everyone until Earth Hour became a global event. Last year, 135 countries switch lights off for an hour. Hence, a commitment to a more lasting action against climate change.
This global event is scheduled on the last Saturday of every March.
Can you stand an hour or more of darkness? An hour of no television, no radio, no computer? Did you somehow participate in this year's Earth Hour in anyway you can? What did you do for the mother Earth?

To the Editor:
In response to ''A Lesson for All of Us: Crying Is O.K.'' (letter, Dec. 10), I would perhaps have to disagree.
While reading your ''Portraits of Grief,'' about the victims of Sept. 11, I have shed tears every single day, and now, for the first time, my doctor informs me that I have high blood pressure. Are the two related?
Maybe it's O.K. to weep, but not every day.

Any advice on how to approach girls and how to show interest is appreciated.
Most Helpful Girl
Confidence is a skill to be gained. You're confident about tying your shoes aren't you? It's because you do it very often. Start small. You shouldn't start out just cold approaching random girls. Maybe just smile a friendly smile at the girls you walk by some might be prudes but they're not worth it) and once you're comfortable doing that, try just saying hi to girls that you see. Then work your way up to having conversation. I think once you're comfortable just interacting with people period, conversation becomes easier.20|20|0
yes, great advice - start small and work your way up!

"As selfish as it sounds you have to make sure your happy before you can make other people happy"
Connor Franta
Society v.s Humans
I believe is the fate of humanity
the power of humans
the peace within us
the words we share with each other
the love we have,share and keep to ourselves
But I don't believe in the standards of society upon us
I believe in sheltering one another
I believe in being yourself
I believe in staying true to yourself
And I believe in that on day we will all have the power to show who we are without others judging us .
Everyone lives by words these are mine
The credo that I go by is b Connor Franta "As selfish as it sounds you have to make yourself happy before you can make other people happy." It means that you have to make sure your happy before you make others happy even it it's selfish.Because if your not happy and your going around making other people happy that than you are not really paying attention to you emotions.
I got this from one of my favorite Youtubers that makes weekly videos on Mondays.I've watched him for about one and a half years.I just love watching Youtube videos and I found him one day when I was one Youtube.
This credo is important to me because it's something that is really true because we always seem to want to make sure everyone else around us is happy even if it cause us to not be happy.It's good to stick to this because it makes sure you are keeping you emotions from not going down.Most likely cause there are a lot of credos that mean a lot of things and they are use full to people to have something to look up to.
Some people don't go by credos because to them they think it is just words.This will help your future because you will be happy because you will be thinking about your self even though it may be selfish.If others listen to this then they will try to make sure that they are happy before they try to make others around them are happy .
Because if everyone around you is happy and you are are not than you will fell like everyone around you has something that you don't and you can't get.But you could have happiness you need to focus on your self and your happiness before you try to make everyone and everything around you happy.Everyone has the right to be happy even if other people around you don't think that you should be happy.

The Agricultural Cooperative of Garriguella is one of the longest-standing, most traditional viticultural cooperatives within the Designation of Origin Empordà. Founded in 1963 by the vineyard farmers of the village of Garriguella, it boasts the largest extension of vineyards exclusively within the Alt Empordà region. In this rocky land with a mild climate but little rainfall to soften its edges, with a ruggedness made all the more salient by the strong Tramuntana wind whipping over a landscape of mountain ranges and plains, great wines are made. Among these are wines in which our Cooperative has entwined tradition, innovation, joint effort, and terroir to achieve their distinctive personality.
These quality wines which are being produced have now made their way into guide books and other prestigious publications. In our Garriguella Cooperative, we are happy to say that this has happened slowly, so that we have always been able to remain on track, tending to the vines and keeping to the "cooperative" philosophy that gave rise to our winery in the first place. We have not turned our backs on innovative ideas, however, so we have not only incorporated improved technologies in our wine-making, but we have also engaged in enotouristic projects. Come and enjoy some of these activities right within our cellar!

Chris Klodnicki wins Epic Poker League Main Event
Despite a five-handed final table, it took nearly 15 hours of play on Sunday for the Epic Poker League to crown its third champion of Season 1, and in the end it came down to two poker pros searching for their first major tournament title of their career.
The final table began with a lineup of Scott Clements, Mike "The Grinder" Mizrachi, Chris Klodnicki, Joe Tehan, and chip-leader Andrew "LuckyChewy" Lichtenberger. In a first of its kind wrinkle the EPL decided to play down to the final two contestants, who would then play a best two-ou-of-3 match for the title –which you will see was the main impetus for the long 15-hour day.
The short-stacked Clements was the first player eliminated from the final table, followed by Mizrachi, and then Joe Tehan; leaving Lichtenberger and Klodnicki to play for the title. Even with a substantial chip-lead (3.4 million to 1.5 million) it took Klodnicki 140 hands to best Lichtenberger in the first match and another 70 hands in match 2 before claiming his first major tournament title. Had the match gone to a third round of heads-up play Lichtenberger and Klodnicki would have started with even chip-stacks (a format I'm not really fond of).
Klodnicki has quietly put together an impressive 2011 campaign including 6 WSOP cashes this past summer as well as a recent 7th place finish at the WPT Foxwoods World Poker Finals. For his career Klodnicki's tournament winnings no exceed $2.8 million according to thehendonmob.com.
Lichtenberger was coming off a 4th place finish at the WPT Five Diamon Poker Classic last week (where he earned over $200k) and his runner-up finish in the EPL Main Event constitutes his third six-figure cash of the year. In only his third full year on the live tournament trail, Lichtenberger's career live tournament winnings are now in excess of $2.1 million according to thehendonmob.com.
Here is a look at the complete payouts from the recently concluded Epic Poker League Main Event:
* 1st Chris Klodnicki — $801,680
* 2nd Andrew Lichtenberger — $514,480
* 3rd Joe Tehan — $306,800
* 4th Michael Mizrachi — $174,640
* 5th Scott Clements — $89,680
* 6th Noah Schwartz — $89,680
* 7th Jason Mercier — $89,680
* 8th David Williams — $89,680
* 9th Sorel Mizzi — $50,920
* 10th Amit Makhija — $50,920
* 11th Hafiz Khan — $50,920
* 12th Amnon Filippi — $50,920

Has anyone tried it yet?
I'm wondering how it handles and tastes...
I use regular SI all the time (used to HATE it, what was I thinking???). I've read how difficult rolled buttercream can be so I'm wondering if the SI is any different?
Haven't tried it yet, but my understanding is that "buttercream" refers to flavoring, only, so I would assume that the other properties of it would be exactly the same as regular white fondant?????
I went to the Satin Ice website, buttercream is the flavor.
Yah, it's just a new flavor, will work the same as reg SI. I am dying to try it. I am hopeful it will taste as delish as it sounds. Mmmmmm... I love Satin Ice.
Helpful hint, if you have tried Satin Ice and didn't like it, check this... does it have a glue like taste and smell? The first time I tried it, it did and I was super disappointed. What happened was that I hadn't realized that it had been sitting in a hot room for a while and was most likey, not quite *spoiled*, but really NOT good. I bought a new bucket and made sure that didn't happen again... delicious!
I was just curious, I'm ordering some tomorrow and was trying to decide whether to just get a small bucket to try... or take the plunge and get a bigger one...
Thanks for the insights and help!

7-Eleven Clue Hunts With Sherlock Holmes
In-store and online experience revolve around Warner Bros. upcoming movie release.
DALLAS -- 7-Eleven convenience store customers and Web site visitors will get the chance to play detective beginning Nov. 16, as the retailer launches an end-of-year fresh foods and beverage promotion revolving around the Dec. 25 release of Warner Bros. Pictures' Sherlock Holmes.
Characters from the film -- Sherlock Holmes and Dr. John Watson (played by Robert Downey Jr. and Jude Law, respectively) -- will appear in 7-Eleven stores through window banners and point-of-purchase (POP) signage, including at the grill, hot beverage bar, sales counter and fuel pumps, according to 7-Eleven. The signage will promote the movie and 7-Eleven products, such as Big Bite Oscar Mayer all-beef hot dogs, Go-Go Taquitos, breakfast sandwiches and coffee, the company stated.
Tag lines to promote the campaign's two-for-$2 Big Bite hot dogs; 99-cent Go-Go Taquitos; new Sausage, Egg & Cheese Breakfast Sandwiches; and discounts on coffee refills include: "Hunger Solved," "Killer Duo," "It's No Mystery," "Grab Our Killer Deal" and "Get a Clue."
"Sherlock Holmes has already garnered a significant amount of positive buzz and promises to be a hit this holiday season," Rita Bargerhuff, 7-Eleven vice president and chief marketing officer, said in a statement. "While consumers are already seeing Warner Bros. Pictures' marketing campaign for the film, 7-Eleven customers will get a peek at the Holmes and Watson characters on in-store signage with clever phrases promoting value-oriented offerings, like quality fresh food and coffee."
In addition, visitors to an online, viral challenge can be amateur detectives and play as either of the characters –Holmes or Watson -- on www.221B.sh, as part of the movie's advance teaser campaign. The Web address reflects Holmes' London address of 221B Baker Street, according to the company.
The online challenge reveals clues leading up to the movie's opening scene, and provides a glimpse into the 7-Eleven promotional partnership with Warner Bros. Pictures. One piece of evidence is a vintage newspaper with a front page ad for "Joe C. Thompson's Coffee Emporium -- Open from 7 a.m. to 11 p.m.," which is a play on Joe C. Thompson Jr., the founder of The Southland Ice Co., precursor to the 7-Eleven convenience store chain.
And 7-Eleven coffee drinkers can get a head start to the challenge with co-branded "How Holmes Are You?" coffee cup sleeves that contain a clue and the Web address www.7-11.221B.sh, which is a 7-Eleven 221B microsite home to a fingerprint matching game, where players can earn an exclusive clue to help them solve the mystery within the main 221B experience, 7-Eleven stated.
7-Eleven agency of record FreshWorks, a consortium of Omnicom advertising and marketing companies, worked on the campaign for the retailer.

This contains information on the missions from Super Mario Galaxy: Cosmic Combat that are in Supercluster Gamma. There are a total of 33 stars in this supercluster.
Bob-omb Battlefield Galaxy
Unlocked after 29 stars and Bowser's Icy Airship Attack.
Big Bob-omb on the Summit
|On the rotating lift near the beginning.
|Behind a grate behind the summit.
Mario must make his way up the mountain, just like in Mario 64, where King Bob-omb waits. To defeat him, Mario must haul him up and throw him onto the arena three times to win.
Footrace with Koopa the Quick
|Near the end of the race. Can be attained through a quick detour.
Koopa the Quick returns, challenging Mario to a race up the summit.
Mario Flies to the Sky
|Found by flying above where King Bob-omb was fought.
Mario can use the Red Star in this level, a power-up which allows him to fly. It replaces the Wing Cap from the original Mario 64. This mission is almost the same as the original, but instead of flying to get a coin in the middle of giant rings of coins, Mario must get a Silver Star in each ring. After getting all five, a star appears.
Behind Chain Chomp's Gate
Mario must ground-pound on the Chain Chomp's pole. This is the only star in the game that Mario can get out of order from the others in the galaxy.
|Right on top of the pole.
King Bob-omb's Daredevil Run
Mario must defeat King Bob-omb with only one wedge of health.
Silver Stars Speed Run
Mario must complete "Mario Flies to the Sky" as Flying Mario in less than a minute.
Cosmic Mario in the Battlefield
Cosmic Mario challenges Mario to a race. This is longer and harder than Koopa the Quick's race.
Purple Coins in the Battlefield
A hundred purple coins are hidden in the battlefield, and Mario must find them all.
Musical Medley Galaxy
Unlocked after 32 stars.
Cellant Crisis
|Hidden in one of the paths in the trumpet.
|On one of the planets behind the starting area.
Mario begins on a large main planet which is connected to several others by violin bows. Many small enemies called Violints attack by attempting to shoot their much smaller bows at Mario. Mario needs to make his way to a large, drum-shaped planet in the distance, where a Luma will transform into a series of Sling Stars which lead to a Launch Star. This takes Mario to a pipe on a trumpet-shaped planet, which takes him inside the instrument. After exploring to find some Star Chips, this takes him to a large planet. The boss, Cellant, who is a massive cello who attacks like Violints, appears. Mario must spin his bow back to him three times to defeat him.
The Great Musical Slide
In a callback to the slide-themed levels of previous Mario games, Mario must make his way to a massive slide made out of pianos, xylophones, glockenspiels, and other instruments. Mario can access the slide by finding Star Chips on the main planet. At the end of the slide lies the Power Star.
|Near the end of the slide, right above a drum.
The Mysterious Vanishing Lumas
When Mario arrives, he discovers that many Lumas have gone missing from the galaxy. The last Luma remaining on the main planet grants Mario a key, which opens a pipe on the underside of the planet. He must then travel through a side-scrolling area inside the planet and take a Launch Star out, where he discovers that many airships are storming the galaxy, led by none other than the Koopa Troop. Mario must explore the airships and free three Lumas. They provide a location for Mario to go and find a switch that will destroy the airships, but he must be quick. After accomplishing this task, Mario can find a Power Star in the wreckage of the ships.
|Hidden in the first airship.
Cellant Returns
After the vanishing Luma issue is solved, Cellant and the Violints return to the galaxy and want to exact their revenge on Mario for defeating them. Mario must make his way through a tougher level than the first mission, due to the angry Violints, and then fight Cellant, who has some stronger attacks.
|Right before Cellant's arena.
Slide Speed Run
Mario must complete the slide in under ninety seconds.
Drum Smash
The Chimp returns with a new game prepared in the galaxy. He has set up an area with many drums, which Mario can ground-pound on to send him flying. Many Violints appear on the area, and Mario must attempt to kill them all before they pop the drums. Mario can earn points by killing Violints, as well as by ground-pounding the drums. After all the Violints are killed, Mario receives a star if he has more than 4000 points.
Cellant's Daredevil Run
Cellant is fought again, but under a daredevil comet. This uses the difficulty from his first battle/
Purple Coins on the Slide
150 Purple Coins are placed on the slide. Mario must get 100 of them.
Crude Cactus Galaxy
Unlocked after 35 stars.
An Oily Problem
|Accessible by tunneling into a separate path near the beginning.
|On top of the nearest oil tower.
The Toad Brigade is investigating a problem the local Gearmos are having with their oil well. The issue is that the massive system is not spewing out oil like it used to, and they think it's because of a problem in the mine that doesn't let oil flow. The Toad Brigade volunteers Mario to solve the problem. This is hard, since the oil can severely harm Mario if he falls into it. He must use the Spin Drill to tunnel deep through the course. At the bottom, if Mario tunnels into a specific point of the oil well, where some boulders block the current, they will burst and oil will flow through. Mario discovers a Power Star.
Sailing Across the Sand
|Right on the path the Sand Sail takes.
Mario returns to find the Toad Brigade and Gearmos happy that he solved the issue. They say that if he wants to explore the galaxy, then that's fine with them. On the bottom end of the planet, Mario is attacked by a vicious sandstorm, and can only see the vicinity around him. A large Sand Sail awaits, which will ferry him over to a smaller planet with a Power Star. Mario must avoid many traps on the way.
Sandy Secrets
|Behind the fourth Thwomp on the left path.
Mario returns to the galaxy and must ascend the oil rig on the main planet to find five Star Chips. These chips form a Launch Star on the top of the rig, which takes Mario to a Stone Cyclone-esque planet with a lot of quicksand and Thwomps. Mario must creatively climb on the Thwomps and traverse the stone platforms to reach a star at the end.
The Ancient Pyramids
|On the bottom floor of the pyramid, third chamber, near the mummy.
Some Gearmos say that an excavation crew has discovered what seems like ancient pyramids on a nearby planet while searching for more oil deposits. They invite Mario to go check it out and show him a Launch Star. It takes him over to the planet, where only the top of the pyramid is visible, wedged in a boulder. Mario can take the entrance and scour the inside for five Silver Stars, which form a Power Star.
Flying Goomba Romp
Mario finds that many Goombas are plaguing the oil rig by flying around it. Mario has two choices here - he can use the Spin Drill to knock them away, or he can ground-pound. This is a tricky mission because Mario has to climb back up several times.
The Sand Sail's Hidden Star
Mario starts right by the Sand Sail, where he must head until the first set of Paragoombas. There, he can triple-jump off of the sail, with the last jump landing precisely on the top of the highest Goomba. Added with a spin, this should give Mario enough altitude to reach the star.
Coin-Combing Up High
The Chimp returns to the galaxy and tells Mario that if he can traverse through the Sand Sail and collect enough points by stomping enemies or collecting coins, then he will give a star at the end of the level.
Purple Coins in the Mine
Mario must explore in and out of the mine for a hundred purple coins. He is given three minutes to find them all.
Whirlwind Cloud Galaxy
Unlocked after 38 stars.
Cloud Mario Floats Into the Sky
|On top of a storm cloud.
|Mario must sacrifice his cloud power, as it's in the big waterfall.
Mario starts on the main planet, a hilly area with a large waterfall leading down to a second planet, which is more mountainous. Mario gets to use the Cloud Flower to traverse these two planets and can climb and explore around them. However, he must avoid the water. After Mario reaches the second planet, he must "cloud" up into the sky, where a breeze will fly him to another planet which has much more turbulent winds and thick storm clouds. After traversing this section, it starts to rain, so Mario loses his cloud power. He must continue with only his pure platforming skill. At the end of this area is the Power Star.
Lieutenant Lakitu's Lightning Blitz
|On a leaf of the beanstalk.
Mario returns to the main planet. This time, there is no breeze that will fly him away, so he must collect five Star Chips to form a Launch Star on the planet below the waterfall. It takes him through the clouds and into an area that initially seems clear - Mario lands on a beanstalk, which is surrounded by some light clouds. Mario must use the Cloud Flower to climb up the beanstalk to an area with a lot of lightning. Mario loses his cloud power if he is hit by lightning and will almost always fall straight into the abyss. After making it through this area, a Launch Star takes him to a tiny planet with a checkpoint. After jumping from this planet, Mario will fall through the storm and land on an airship surrounded by beanstalks. The boss, Lieutenant Lakitu, appears. He attacks by trying to shoot lightning bolts at Mario. Mario must stun him by spinning to rebound the lightning. Then, he should take the Cloud Flower and stomp on his head three times.
|In a hidden area of the maze.
Mario must continue the way he progressed on the first star all the way to the thick turbulent cloud area. Instead, a series of Pull Stars and Sling Stars will fly him over to another planet, where he must use the Cloud Flower to navigate a massive maze of beanstalks and storm clouds. After finding the right path by listening to the thunder, Mario can find the star.
Star Staff in the Clouds
|Above a Paragoomba on the slide.
Some Lumas in the galaxy tell Mario that they sense a large magical force in the galaxy but don't know exactly what it is. They suggest that Mario goes after it and create a set of Launch, Sling, and Pull Stars. Mario must pull his way through a thunder maze and avoid getting struck by lightning. After this area, Mario can launch to a stormy beanstalk slide, where he must avoid Paragoombas and other pesky enemies. At the end of this area is a Sling Star to a calm area, probably in the eye of the storm. The third piece of the Star Staff lies here, along with a Power Star.
Hidden in the Clouds
In the final area of the first mission, Mario must go as high as possible with the Cloud Flower without losing it, and then long jump onto the top of a storm cloud. A triple jump onto another and wall-jumping off of it should give a star.
Spiny Romp
Mario must romp a bunch of Spinies in the main planet.
Mario must complete the Thunderchasing mission once more, but instead, he must follow Cosmic Mario to the finish.
Purple Coins in the Clouds
Mario must search the beanstalk for purple coins, but this time, he cannot use the Cloud Flower, as it is storming heavily. Wind can blow him off of the beanstalk, and lightning can strike him.
Bowser Jr.'s Deep Sea Submarine
Unlocked after 42 stars and "Star Staff in the Clouds".
Battle Deep Undersea
Bowser Jr.'s latest base has been identified as being in a bunker undersea. Mario must swim through dark, rocky undersea caves and tunnels while making use of shells to defeat enemies, swim faster, and smash obstacles. At the end is Bowser Jr.'s submarine. Mario must be careful here, as in the bunker, there is no escape for air, nor are their air pockets, so he must survive on the bubbles emitted by the submarine. Bowser Jr. attacks by charging to Mario and then shooting Koopa Shells at him. Mario must catch them and spin them to Jr. three times for the Grand Star.
|Above some Bloopers in the first area.
|Mario must smash a wall in the second area to find it.

Lawmakers urge rejection of CL&P storm cost plan
HARTFORD, Conn. — A request to Connecticut regulators by the state's largest electric utility to charge ratepayers $414 million as reimbursement for storm cleanup and restoration ran into opposition on Monday.
U.S. Sen. Richard Blumenthal and U.S. Rep. Joe Courtney urged state regulators to reject more than half of the company's request — $286 million — for the costs of damage from a snowstorm in October 2011 and Tropical Storm Irene in August 2011.
The snowstorm left hundreds of thousands of customers without power for as long as 11 days.
