Bajaj V15 is made from the decommissioned INS Vikrant metal, will it rise like a phoenix and capture new markets? Read through our review to find out.
Also Read: Bajaj Aims To Sell 50,000 V15 A Month
Bajaj V15 Exterior Design
The first look of the V15 brings you back images of a Cafe Racer on the road, however, as you look further, the motorcycle blends into more of a commuter style biking.
So when you ride through the city traffic, you can be assured to have a second glance of the bike. It also features a body-coloured cowl to transform it into a single seater, this can be easily removed with an alan key.
The emblem of 'Made With The Invincible Metal Of INS Vikrant' is prominent on top of the fuel tank. The rear of the bike looks well finishes flowing through the clustered LED taillamp, which is away from the rear seat.
The V15 is available in two colours - Ebony Black and Pearl White.
V15 Engine Specifications & Features
The V15 is powered by a new 150cc engine, Single cylinder, 4 stroke, SOHC 2 valve, air cooled, DTS-i which produces 12bhp at 7,500rpm and torque at 13Nm at 5,500rpm, this has been mated to a 5-speed gearbox.
The bike features ergonomic handle bar which is appropriate for seat position. The exhaust is extremely thunderous and it is quite different to the commuter bikes we see on the road today.
Bajaj has made sure that there are premium feel to the bike by offering five double spoke alloy wheels, premium textured seat and instrument panel which turns red when you come to reserve.
Bajaj V Performance & Mileage
The engine is well positioned to give a good performance, the low torque of the bike helps you ride the bike effortless in traffic without multiple gear shifts.
Mileage of the Bajaj V15 will vary between 60 to 70kmpl, depending on how you ride the bike.
Bajaj V15 Pricing
The bike is well positioned to take on its rivals and is priced at Rs. 62,000 ex-showroom (Delhi).
V15 Verdict
Bajaj is looking to dominate the commuter segment with an altogether different approach, giving it a new look on similar engine specification available in the market.
Apart from its nostalgic feel of the metal made from the INS Vikrant, the headlamp seems to be unfit to the motorcycle. The bike makes it up with the performance with good torque and easy to commute in the traffic.
The motorcycle will compete against the Honda Unicorn CBZ 160cc, Suzuki's Gixxer and Hero CBZ Xtreme.

Sword Storm 1.0.6 Mod APK Unlimited
Sword Storm mod apk is a free MMORPG in which you embodies a character that should help your nation at any cost. You can choose between three classes to play (Warrior, Hunter and sorcerer), that defines his style of fighting. Each offers expertise to make a stronger ability in order to defeat the enemy Nations and a legion of demons.
To play Sword Storm you need to create an account on the site of the game, click here to access it. Once installed, your antivirus will give an alarm when the game is executed. Don't worry, it happens because the security system against intrusions is interpreted as a virus (something he is far from). Just ignore the message and have fun!
In this critical situation, along comes a powerful hero. Before long he manages to overcome the enemy army and make it retreat to the mountains of the South. However, the elders suspected of hero and decided to banish him to the Valley East of China.
During the confusion of the first major battle, a new race of humans has been discovered inhabiting the desert to the West of China. There was a rumor about her Phoenix's blood running through your veins, but their origins were uncertain. Thanks to the hostile environment in which they grew, the survival skills and fighting techniques of this people would give rise to great heroes in the future.
Finally, with the end of the war, the people of the Earth Stable created fortifications to guard the opponents. Wanting to continue the plans for world domination, the people of Flaming Sky built a great city to show their determination.
The exiled hero set up his own army and vowed revenge against the land Stable, due to the injustice they suffered. Finally, the peaceful desert humans decided to erect a big city not to be subject to attacks of other races. Anyway, this is the scenario in which the game begins: you decide which breed is owned and determines the end of the race for supremacy in ancient China.
At the beginning, your character does not have practically any equipment to meet the challenges that await to have reached adulthood. The first missions serve to you prove your worth and win permission to leave the village in search of new adventures. So, don't expect nothing but killing x monsters and deliver soups to reach level 10.
After that, it is necessary to define which specialization following attacks, because without spending skill points, your character will not have much chance of survival in this world full of demons. However, to turn on Sword, the main Storm is knowing how to walk by the map. Download Sword Storm 1.0.6 APK MOD right below!
Sword Storm Mod APK Features

The graphics of Sword Storm mod apk does not require a lot of computer and allow multiple gamers can test this game. However, it is also a negative point, after all, quality is one of the most important factors in choosing a MMORPG to play. She, however, is not limited to the graphics, gameplay, soundtrack, also the history behind the characters and the game's development.
The Storm History Online is quite interesting, but she is not displayed to the beginner player who ignored the developer's website before downloading the game. That is, to start a new character, the tendency of the gamer is getting lost and not knowing the reason he fights – until it complete some missions and understand more or less the story.
Furthermore, another problem with the story is in the missions of the game. Although they make sense with the initial context, do not pass extermination task – giving the impression that the whole game is a hack 'n' slash, in which you must kill a jumble of monsters and nothing else.
The entire Sword Storm gameplay is based on mouse commands and keyboard shortcuts. The character is somewhat locked, however this is offset by the possibility of moving automatically by selecting a region of the map. The battles, in turn, are very simple: click to start attacking, use shortcuts to activate skills and make potions-there is no need to run around the Monster or join several to kill them in a coup.
The skill system allows customization of the character because you choose which learn and when. The soundtrack is very good and is based on songs with Oriental instruments, something befitting the scenery and history of the game. However, most of the sound effects is disappointing the lack of originality: they were simply copied from World of Warcraft.
Sword Storm apk mod can be fun when played in groups, but is suitable for anyone who owns that computer can't handle run games with better graphics and gameplay. In other words, he has what it takes to please fans of the MMORPG genre, but can't overcome the monsters that dominate this market today.

Just so everyone knows, the 2 new character albums (Ayano and Chitose) are available. Had a listen and somehow feel like the quality has somewhat degraded from the first half of the character album collection. There was one song that I potentially thought about keeping for my iTunes (Ayano's A-side), and the rest just didn't really appeal to me that much- they felt somewhat rushed to me.
Of course that's my own opinion, so give them a chance. I just feel as if these albums were nowhere near as strong as the Yui and Kyouko album days.

When you think of Chitose, what kind of descriptors pop up in your brain? It's probably ones that describe a girl who drifts off easily yet does really well when she needs to. "Oh wait Ms. Toyosaki, haven't you voiced a character like that before? That's right, Yui!" Without taking bias over liking Hirasawa Yui's character songs a lot more, I believe if Chitose's songs were more in that style rather than this odd mishmash of genres it would've worked a lot better. The ultimate problem with Chitose's album was: she talked TOO much. Might as well had a drama CD with some funky background music. Ayano's was better, but once again it didn't really fit her somewhat upbeat, yet tsundere ways. That's probably why I enjoyed Sakurako's album a lot; it played with both of her major traits and wasn't just made for the purpose of selling out the character.
Bleh, babble babble yet again. Music is subjective and I hope everyone else has a better time with these new albums than I did.

Cool Number is really awesome. I have some trouble actually imagining Yui singing it, but it's a catchy, well performed song. Kyouko's songs are both great, but I didn't much care for Chitose's or Akari's. They weren't horrible or anything, but I'm not eager to put them on my iPod. Haven't actually listened to Ayano's or Sakurako's yet, I should get to that.
Just found this really cute picture I thought I'd share for those who haven't seen it.

Subaru EyeSight Safety Technology Announced: 2012 New York Auto Show Preview
Subaru announced its new, low-cost suite of safety systems called "EyeSight" today that the company says will be one of the most affordable instances of this technology on the U.S. market.
By using two charge-coupled device (CCD) cameras mounted inside the car on the upper edge of the windshield, the company is able to offer a hybrid of safety featured including adaptive cruise control, pre-collision braking, and vehicle lane departure warning. The feature is scheduled to debut as an option in the 2013 Outback and Forrester at the upcoming New York International Auto Show.
Keeping the cameras inside the car, Subaru says, will also prevent them from being damaged where other, bumper-mounted, systems might suffer.
At speeds below 19 mph, the system will be able to detect pedestrians and avoid impending collisions and is even able to stop the car completely under certain circumstances. When above that speed, EyeSight can apply the brakes if driver intervention isn't detected.
Aside from applying the brakes, the system can also cut the throttle to slow down. EyeSight can also detect when the driver mistakenly shifts into drive instead of reverse while in a parking space.
The system can also be shut off, if so desired, to avoid notifications during off-road or rough road travel.
Pricing details weren't released, but expect it to cost less than $2,100 which is how much Volvo's comparable "technology package" runs for.

Ableton is one of the most common software packages for making pre-recorded sets. Although it comes with all the features to create high quality mixes, some young DJs fail due to a lack of knowledge. In order to help you learn, we've put together a guide on how to make a professional DJ set in Ableton.
Set Up the Workstation and Import Tracks
Open Ableton and create a new audio channel if there aren't any already. Depending on the length of the mix, create at least two channels, each supporting up to ten tracks.
Import the tracks into the project view. The sequence of tracks you import doesn't matter, same goes for positioning them in audio channel slots, as you will re-arrange them later in arrangement view.
Note that Ableton will automatically create project files associated with the tracks. These will contain all the information you need about time-warping, edits and other actions you will take down the track.
Set the Tempo and Warp the Tracks
Set the preferred tempo of the project. This tempo will affect the automatic warping process of the tracks, as the program will time-stretch the beat to match the waveform peaks to the clicks of the metronome.
If you are using minimal house tracks with constant tempo and a well-processed drum pattern, then use auto-warping. Make sure "Auto-warp long samples" is enabled in the options under the "Warp" tab. In this case waveform peaks should be well distinguished, so beat detection algorithms won't fail.
However, if you are using tracks with complex drum structures or changing tempos, use manual warping. To set the tempo manually, open the sample window. Set the first yellow marker on the first beat of the track and warp the whole track from there.
Make a Mix and Transition Structure
Drag the tracks into the arrangement view. Consider the desired mix structure and align the tracks in that order. Each second track should be in a free slot to every previous track, so the following tracks are not crossfading in the same slot.
If warping is done correctly, all tracks should be perfectly time-synced. Then all you have to do is adjust the crossfade positions. Zoom in the transitions and match the intros with outros or the other parts you want to crossfade.
Although there are no strict restrictions on transition length, the most common lengths are 4, 8 or 16 bars. Be daring and try out some more creative transitions like live mash-ups or bootlegs, where the crossfade length can vary a lot.
Finally, create volume and effect automations. You can use three or eight band EQs, delay and reverb effects and so on. If you are still not satisfied, you can add extra white noise, starches and swooshes to smoothen up the transitions.
Finish the Mix
Listen to the whole mix, paying specific attention to the transitions. If the transitions sound smooth and the mix has a great flow, then it is done.
Render the final version of the mix. Ableton offers to export mixes in .wav or .aiff formats. You can use either, as both are quality outputs, but most DJs go with .wav as it is much more common.

Danessa is praying for an inside home with adult companionship! Can you make that happen for her?
Horse adoption fees are set individually depending on the capabilities/restrictions of the individual horse.

I don't know if I should be answering this because I'm more agnostic than athiest but I have posted myself the question what if God does exist but I always tend to lean more towards the athiest logic that it's a pretty far fetched idea and is more likely not to be true than to be.
*Just to clarify, I DO believe in God. God exists as an idol of millions. Even if it only exists in their minds, that in itself is existence, I just don't believe in God the the sense those millions of people mean it to exist.00|00|0
i know what you mean but when i sometimes think about how this planet was made it just sounds so ridiculous to think that everything was a coincidence other stuff
- Show AllShow Less
Ask an astronomer or better yet, study astronomy yourself.
Earth isn't the only planet like this but the distances of space are so unbelievably vast, its pretty much impossible to see or go to the others with what the human race currently knows about the technology available.
Well for both of you i'm just asking ,,, cuz i'm a following a religion i'm in deep faith in the existence of GOD , i'can't imagining that universe and us just coming from nothing i do believe in BIG BANG theority but i know that it wouldn't happen just like that god make it happened
i believe in god and profphet mohamed and jesus as well i believe
thank you for your Logical discussion
and for you the agnostic i hope you will find your path and find an answer
,,, have peace and good luck all of you

Sir Simon Rattle conductor
Karen Cargill Marguerite
Bryan Hymel Faust
Gerald Finley Mephistopheles
Florian Boesch Brander
London Symphony Chorus
Simon Halsey chorus director
London Symphony Orchestra
From selling your soul to the devil to finding salvation – Sir Simon Rattle ventures through Berlioz's tempestuous oratorio, The Damnation of Faust.
Berlioz's The Damnation of Faust is a work born of the composer's obsession with Goethe's legendary tale. Once a righteous scholar, Faust allows himself to be corrupted by the devil, and drags the innocent around him into desperation and death. It's a fable that defies definition – both a tragedy and dark comedy, with a central character both wise and despicable, and a play and epic poem in one.
Mystified by this tragic story, Berlioz's work is, too, an astounding hybrid of opera, oratorio and, in the composer's own words, 'dramatic legend'. From tender moments of religious piety to incessant military marches and terrifying flourishes of demonic fury, Sir Simon Rattle leads the LSO in a colossal choral work like none other.
Where can I watch it?
You can watch live on the LSO YouTube Channel and on medici.tv from 6pm BST. The concert will be preceded by a live introduction on the LSO Facebook page from 5.30pm BST.

Holding anything from casual picnics and potlucks to more formal dinners is part of how we connect with friends and neighbors.
Because wine is best shared with others around the table --- even a picnic table --- let me give you some tips on how to include wine in any setting.
The two most important things you'll need to identify are what kind of meal it is and how many people will be served.
A sit-down dinner will require more planning and cost. Decisions include how many wines and courses to have, and what to serve that will match well and please the majority of folks.
A typical dinner involves a starter wine and appetizer, then moves toward the main course and feature wine, concluding with dessert and perhaps, a sweet wine. There is no right or wrong number of choices.
Generally, a sparkling wine is served with the appetizer. It shouldn't be anything too exotic.
Depending on your budget, some choices I like are Moet & Chandon White Star, Schramsberg Blanc de Blancs or Blanc De Noirs, or any of the Mumm Napa sparkling wines. Italian Prosecco works well here also, especially for keeping expenses down.
The rules for pairings have become much more laid back (thank goodness) and you can choose just about any combination of food and wine you are comfortable with. If serving a lighter meat with a fruity sauce, you really can't go wrong with a Viognier(Vee-yon-yay) or a Johannisberg Riesling.
Smoking Loon is a hip Viognier, as is RH. Philips EXP. Chateau St. Michelle or Kendall-Jackson Vintner's Reserve Johannisberg Riesling is easy to drink and easy on the budget.
Usually you'll choose a full-bodied red as your main wine, but it depends on the food. A light to medium red such as Pinot Noir, Valpolicella or Rioja might be a better fit. With heavier foods go with heavier wines and Cabernet Sauvignon, good Merlot or Syrah, Barberesco or even a Barolo might be the ticket, again depending on your guests and your budget.
There are far to many choices here for me to address, but some favorites are Markham Merlot (beef and mushroom type dishes), Elk Cove or King Estate Pinot Noir (goes very well with duck), Masi Valpolicella with tuna steaks, Cabernet with lamb, almost any Italian red with most Italian dishes, and Tormenta Cabernet Sauvignon or Catena Malbec with grilled meats. None of these has to be terribly expensive and should satisfy wine lovers and casual drinkers alike.
To finish the meal, you might or might not serve another wine. Be aware of your guests and how much they have had to drink.
With decent pours, you'll get 5-6 glasses of wine from each bottle. If you are serving several wines, use smaller pours.
Your guests will not feel cheated because they will experience different tastes and pairings. You might also have guests who can't or don't drink wine, so always have alternatives available.
If it's not a sit-down dinner, the wine requires less emphasis. You should choose a simple red and a white and maybe a sparkling wine (sweet or dry).
You can buy inexpensive, good-tasting wine and serve it from decanters and the guests won't even know what it is. As long as it tastes decent and matches the food and the atmosphere, it will be a success.
Question, comment, tasting note, or tip? Write to firstname.lastname@example.com. Learn more at www.myspace.com/morriswineguy.
Most who have tried Malbec from Argentina have liked it, and its popularity has increased immensely.
Unfortunately, its price has gone up proportionally with its popularity.
While some inexpensive Malbec is still out there, it tends to be the lesser quality, not what made the stuff popular brands.
Most of the better Argentinian Malbec is still under $20, though, so you can afford to get on board if you're not already. A great place to start is with Catena.
Nicolas Catena is the man behind some of the best wines in Argentina, and his Malbec, priced in the upper teens, will convince you that so many people can't be wrong.
These wines are deep and dark but very drinkable and are a natural fit with grilled meat. They are a bit like Shiraz with their peppery spice and dark fruit, but there is an earthy quality that is entirely likeable, and it really sets Malbec apart.

Skyler drains the pole
Its a rare site indeed to see a bound slave on the bondage table with a 10 inch pole poking thru the Glory hole. The cock is so big and impressive Skyler can only milk it in admiration. Despite telling the slave he cannot cum until she desires she secretly smiles at this impressive piece of flesh and milks it slowly tho complaing at times that her arm ***** she knows exactly what shes doing as she collects his cum into her cum plate.

I don't know how usual or unusual this is, but I had instant, strong chemistry with the very first man I met in person after I posted my profile on a dating website. I couldn't believe it. Could it really be this easy? I, very painfully, over the next several months, found that the answer was no, it wasn't that easy. But I learned volumes from the experience.
Lenny was attractive, charming, sweet, passionate and he immediately liked me and was turned on to me. And he was 9 years younger! I was flattered and surprised that a younger man was interested in me, a woman of a certain age. His first email message to me was portentously enigmatic and characteristically seductive and poetic. He simply wrote, "Lovely, aren't e?" He called me "Baby" and "Love". He had a habit of calling me 5 minutes after every date to tell me how wonderful I am and how glad he was to have met me. I was impressed! Hell, let's be honest, I was completely hooked!
I woke up the morning after meeting him with Katy Perry's song Teenage Dream playing on endless repeat in my head. And it was just a few days before Valentine's Day. I had officially begun the ride!
But as eager as Lenny seemed and as receptive as I was, our relationship never progressed. We saw each other every week at first but the afternoon coffee dates never turned into the evening dinner dates. I made many excuses at first for why he would be moving so slowly. I waited and agonized. I felt everything was hanging in the balance. Did he want a real relationship with me or not?
This question that hung in the air for several months stirred up all the feelings I had in my relationship with my father, who, frankly, didn't want a close relationship with any woman, including my mother. Of course, as a child, I interpreted his lack of interest with a lack of lovableness in me. With Lenny, I was able to realize that his inability to get close had very little to do with my inherent qualities. This freed me up not to take rejection so personally in the months to come. If a woman does take a man's rejection personally, she'll close up and be one of those who are always complaining that all the good men are taken and there are only losers left on the internet dating sites. You don't want to be one of these women. They are doomed to fail in love.
With hindsight, I see how my anxieties about dating after so many years and my lack of confidence at the time made me ready to jump into an instant relationship with Lenny. I'm sure this scared him to death. I think that's the thing I've most come to appreciate about men and women in love connections. As much as we're all searching for love, we are all so scared. And men, especially. Probably because the land of love and feelings is not their natural habitat. Their fears that they will have to give up their freedom to be with a woman. The fear of losing themselves and being controlled by a woman. Things have to go slowly. But sometimes you just can't slow down.
So for several months we tried to find a way to get comfortable with each other and never could. I wanted more and he was always busy, feeling guilty and making excuses. It was horrible for both of us.
I felt devastated, misled, deceived and I was furious at him when he finally confessed to me over the phone that he just wanted to be "selfish." I felt he had totally taken advantage of my new-to-dating-after-many-years virgin state. I let rip a scathing email like none I have ever sent before or since. But still I pined for him, for what might have been, for what was only in my fantasies.
He pined for me too and would send little notes occasionally about missing me. He would visit my profile on the dating sites. Just when I had succeeded in forgetting about him, or, at least, being able to move on, there he would be. It was frustrating and infuriating. And the worst part was that he didn't know himself well enough, or feel able to express his feelings, so talking about what was going on was impossible. I was left to try to figure things out on my own. It just didn't make sense to me. Here was this man who seemed to want me so much and yet he couldn't show up to claim me.
Now I can see that Lenny was a reflection of how scared I was to get on the love ride back then. That's why we found each other. I've come to believe that we attract people who are exactly where we are in their journey to love. When I began my journey, I was nowhere near ready to be authentically claimed in love by a man. And you probably aren't either. But that's OK because you can get there from here.
More from love

I am bright, sincere, and affectionate
Food? I like everything, love Japanese, and only dislike two foods: Eggplant and Sea-Urchin sushi. Ever wonder what a warm, smelly tidal pool tastes like? Try sea urchin.
Music: I like it all, love acoustic/folk (think Gordon Lightfoot, Dougie MacLean), really love classical (small chamber groups) and adore J.S. Bach. I used to sing and play guitar a lot, and am recently rediscovering all the joy that can be found there.
My guilty pleasures? Techno, dance/club/trance, South Park, Devo, Ed's Redeeming Qualities, Death Cab, Modern English, Erasure, and John Denver. Less guilt: yoga and riding my motorcycle.
There is so much to learn and so VERY little time to do it. I read periodicals. New York Times, Wired, Reason, World, Popular Science, Adbusters. If it's on glossy paper, I read it. And I'm doomed....DOOMED I tell you, if I wander into a Barnes and Noble.......
Coffee + something to read while drinking it.
A sense of God in my life.
"two roads diverged in a wood, and I?
I took the one less traveled by,
and that has made all the difference"
***Update: The pic you see is five years old. Same body, actually in better shape cause of the yoga, but there are a few more gray hairs in the beard so will be changing that soon. Also......I finally DID make it to the seminary. That's a story best told over coffee. : ) ***

Flour Tortillas Diaz
Recipe by quixoposto
This recipe is based on an article in the San Jose Mercury News by Stacy Diaz. I tried it and didn't need near as much water as the recipe indicated. The dough should not be sticky. This recipe is healthier since it uses oil instead of shortening.
Top Review by mwalker5
This recipe never lets me down and is a crowd favorite. I grew up with Grandmas tortillas which were made with lard and I've tried just about every recipe (with lard) on this site and they crack when folded and are dry the next day. Not this one though, tortillas are pliable even the next day. I can roll them out thick or thin. This is the only tortilla recipe I use and I highly recommend!
See Discussion:49 Reviews 3 Tweaks
Ingredients Nutrition
- 4 cups flour
- 1 1⁄2 teaspoons salt
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 3 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 1 1⁄2 cups warm water (not HOT)
Directions See How It's Made
- Mix the dry ingredients.
- Add oil and mix with hands.
- Mixing with your hands, add water a little at a time, until you get a soft dough.
- You should be able to mix in all the dry ingredients, but the dough shouldn't be sticky.
- (You can add in more flour if you add too much water.) On a floured surface, knead the dough for 2- 4 minutes, adding flour if the dough is sticky.
- Form dough into a ball, cover with towel and place upside down bowl over dough.
- Let the dough rest for 15-20 minutes.
- NOTE: the dough will not rise, this just rests the gluten.
- Heat ungreased griddle to medium-high.
- Break off golf-ball sized pieces of dough and flatten into 5 inch circles.
- On a floured surface roll out tortillas using a back and forth motion, turning the tortilla 1/4 turn after each roll.
- Flip the tortilla at least once.
- Place tortilla on hot griddle and cook till bubbles rise (20-25 seconds).
- Flip and cook on the other side 20-25 seconds.
- Finished tortillas will be speckled with brown.
- Place cooked tortilla in a bowl covered and lined with a towels.
- NOTE: When you get good you should be able to roll out a tortilla while one on the griddle cooks.

i would like to check a particular pattern of first matrix(2d) available in the second matrix (2d) or not.
is it possible to check like that ; what is the function available for that.
kindly help me regarding this.

To my knowledge there is no single function that performs such a test; you have to devise your own. The following is a brute-force (and therefore slow) method of searching for an exact match using the 'all' function. Call A the first matrix and B the (larger) second matrix.
[m,n] = size(A);
[p,q] = size(B);
b = false;
i1 = 0;
while i1 <= p-m & ~b
i1 = i1 + 1;
i2 = 0;
while i2 <= q-n & ~b
i2 = i2 + 1;
b = all(all(A==B(11:i1+m-1,i2:i2+n-1)));
At exit the logical variable 'b' will be true if an exact match was found, and false otherwise. The indices i1 and i2 at exit will indicate where the first matching position occurred, if any.

What about the normalized cross correlation, normxcorr2(), in the
Image Processing Toolbox?
Normalized 2-D cross-correlation
C = normxcorr2(template, A)
C = normxcorr2(template, A) computes the normalized cross-correlation
of the matrices template and A. The matrix A must be larger than the
matrix template for the normalization to be meaningful. The values of
template cannot all be the same. The resulting matrix C contains the
correlation coefficients, which can range in value from -1.0 to 1.0.
Can't you just call that and look for 1.0 if you're looking for an
exact match, or somewhat less if you're looking for an approximate

I interpreted Pandian's "pattern ... available" as meaning equality of corresponding elements, which is what my code tested. Having a normalized cross correlation (Pearson coefficient) of unity does not imply such equality. As a counterexample let x = [1;2;6] and y = [3;5;13]. Then the Pearson coefficient between them is:
((1-3)*(3-7)+(2-3)*(5-7)+(6-3)*(13-7)) / ...
sqrt( ((1-3)^2+(2-3)^2+(6-3)^2)*((3-7)^2+(5-7)^2+(13-7)^2) ) =
(8+2+18)/sqrt((4+1+9)*(16+4+36)) = 28/sqrt(14*56) = 28/28 = 1
The vectors x and y therefore have a correlation of 1 and yet are certainly far from being equal, though they are linearly related: y=2*x+1.
See for example
Roger Stafford
I interpreted it as doing pattern recognition, like finding a small
matrix that is located within a larger matrix. Like this example
where it generates a big matrix, then gets a template from a certain
place in the big matrix (so we know for a fact that the pattern does
exist), and then finding where it it located:
% Generate the big matrix
bigMatrix = randi(99, [15 15])
% Get a template that's known to exist in the big matrix.
template = bigMatrix(3:5, 7:9)
% Get the normalized cross correlation.
nxc = normxcorr2(template, bigMatrix)
% Crop it to the original size.
nxc = nxc(2:16, 2:16)
% Find the row and columns where it matches.
[row col] = find(nxc >= 0.999)
fprintf('Template found at row=%d, column = %d', row, col);

You have given the 'template' equality to a portion of 'bigMatrix' in stating that
template = bigMatrix(3:5, 7:9)
However the counterexample I mentioned shows that you can get a correlation of 1 at that relative location even where you might only have something like
template = 10*bigMatrix(3:5, 7:9)-100
holding true there.
It is a consequence of the Cauchy–Bunyakovsky–Schwarz inequality theorem that equality of the correlation to 1 or -1 is true if and only if the two matrix portions are linearly dependent. They do not have to be equal.
Of course if the notion of pattern matching is satisfied by merely having linearly related patterns, then searching for a correlation of 1 would be a good method of detecting such a condition. It all hinges on the meaning to be ascribed to a "match" of two patterns.

Spurs confirm Hutton blow
Spurs have confirmed Alan Hutton will be out for up to five months with a foot injury.
Last Updated: 26/11/08 11:09pm
Tottenham Hotspur have confirmed Alan Hutton will be out for up to five months with a foot injury.
Hutton has undergone surgery on a fractured foot and his rehabilitation period will see him sidelined until well into next year.
The Scotland international missed the opening two months of the season due to a foot injury before returning to the Spurs team.
However, he sat out Sunday's 1-0 win over Blackburn Rovers in the Premier League after featuring in Scotland's friendly defeat by Argentina a week ago.
Spurs boss Harry Redknapp admitted earlier on Wednesday that he feared Hutton would be out of his plans for 'quite a long time'.
"It's the same injury that kept him out at the start of the year and they decided not to operate and it seems to have flared up again," said Redknapp.
"I'll see him when I get back and obviously he is going to be a bit low. There was so much to play for this year. It's a big blow for him."
Ahead of the club's Uefa Cup tie against NEC Nijmegen on Thursday, Spurs have now confirmed that Hutton could be missing for the next five months.

World Cup Kicks Off With South Africa Mexico Tie
Sports BlackState.com
11 June 2010
South Africa and Mexico kicked off the World Cup soccer tournament with an exciting 1-1 tie. Both teams had their chances to put the game away. Mexico was the aggressor in the first half and was denied a goal with an offside call. South Africa the bafana bafana relaxed in the second half and broke open a scoreless game with a strike by the awesomely named Siphiwe Tshabalala. Mexico on its heels followed with a game tying goal by Rafael Marquez. The goal deflated the South African home crowd a bit but the celebrating continue as South Africa kept the home country not losing the first match streak alive.

Correction 4/26: A previous version of the article incorrectly listed the number of miles of road that the BLM is placing signs on. The correct number is 5,000 miles.
WESTERN MOJAVE DESERT � The Bureau of Land Management has been working to place signs telling people which off-road routes are open and which are closed on three million acres within the western Mojave Desert for about eight years and now has a deadline to finish the signs before July.
Because of a federal judge's ruling in January about the West Mojave Plan � which designated off-highway vehicle routes in BLM land throughout the western Mojave � the agency now has about three months to finish placing signs on 5,000 miles of roads.
The West Mojave Plan was finalized in 2006, but several environmental groups had issues with the plan because of concerns about wildlife safety and air and water quality. After several groups filed a suit in 2006, a judge rejected the plan in 2009. Earlier this year, a federal judge ruled that the plan be revised to address specific environmental concerns, including designating the different off-highway routes in the west Mojave by mapping and placing signs.
BLM staff have been working to place the signs for the West Mojave Plan since 2003, said Roxie Trost, field manager for the BLM's Barstow field office. The agency did not have a deadline for the signs before the ruling and was placing some of the signs each year, said Trost.
About four to 14 BLM staff members � including some of its rangers � have been working each day to place the signs at intersections so that people will know which routes are available and which are off-limits, said Trost. The data where each sign has been placed is then entered into a Global Positioning System database.
Trost did not know how many signs have been placed since 2003, but said they numbered in the thousands. The number of signs depends on the location and each one takes about two to five minutes to place, said Trost, who added that one of the things that takes the most time is traveling to each sign location.
The BLM is planning to post information about its signage plan within the next week, said Stephen Razo, external director for the BLM's California Desert District.
As well as the sign plan, there are three other additional plans for the West Mojave that will have to be submitted by the end of the month, said Alan Stein, chief of resources in the California Desert District office. The plans will require items that the BLM normally does anyway, such as signing and maintaining routes and putting up kiosks, said Stein.

Chilean Senate Urges Executive Branch to Consult with Aymara, Kawashkar Peoples
According to a Chilean Senate press release dated January 6th, the Senate has voted twice in recent days to request the President to consult with specific Indigenous communities within Chile. One vote requested that the President consult with the Kawashkar people over coastal zoning that is to take place in and around their community, and the other vote related to various environmental regulations that could affect water rights and land use for some Aymara communities. The votes are the topic of our latest column for I Love Chile News, which can be read here.

Indigenous Leaders Conclude Meetings with Congress, Call for Repeal of Decree 124
On October 4th and 5th, several hundred Indigenous leaders from all over Chile met with the Chilean Congress primarily to discuss the issue of consultation. The two-day event was called the National Parliamentary Meeting between Indigenous Peoples and the National Congress (Encuentro Nacional Parlamentario entre Pueblos Indígenas y el Congreso Nacional), and while little has been reported about what was accomplished thus far, it has come out that the Indigenous peoples banned together to ask for Congress' assistance to repeal Decree 124 — the law that currently guides how consultation with Indigenous peoples functions in most circumstances.

Senate Annuls Vote that Requested Repeal of Decree No. 124 and Suspension of Consultation
On Thursday, August 12th, the Senate decided to annul a vote that was taken last week. The vote originally stated that the Senate would request President Piñera to repeal Decree 124 and suspend the national indigenous consultation process being undertaken by the Chilean government currently. The decision to annul the vote was based on the fact that one Senator — Senator García Ruminot (RN) — claimed his vote was counted in favor of the Senate agreement when, in fact, he was not present for the vote. Although the loss of Senator Ruminot's vote would not alter the decision, the Senate decided they would hold a revote on the issue on Tuesday, August 16th. Continue reading

LAFAYETTE — The state's top high school golfers — all 256 of them — will descend on the Acadiana area over the next two days and shoot for top honors at the Allstate Sugar Bowl LHSAA state championships.
The tournament is divided into six divisions, four boys and two girls divided by enrollment, and will be held at three Lafayette-area courses. The Farm d'Allie will host boys Divisions I and III, the Wetlands will stage the boys Divisions II and IV, and Les Vieux Chenes will host the girls Divisions I and II competition.
Play begins at 8 a.m. Monday at all three sites for the two-day, 36-hole event that is being held in the Lafayette area for the first time.
The LHSAA's premier golf event is in its third year of bringing all classifications in both boys and girls divisions together in the same geographical area and at the same time. Before 2013, the various divisions were scattered throughout the state and each classification held its championships independently.
Two years ago, the LHSAA consolidated the tournaments, and the first two combined events were held in the Shreveport-Bossier City area. Lafayette won the bid to host the tournaments for a two-year period last May.
"We're going to make this the best golf event the LHSAA has ever had," said Robert Boudreaux, local tournament chairman and the golf coach at host school Teurlings Catholic. "Combining the tournaments was a great idea, but we're going to take that idea and take it to the next level."
Activities for the tournament began Sunday night with the tournament welcome banquet — a function that had not been held in the past. Former PGA Tour professional Mike Heinen was the guest speaker, and UL-Lafayette golf coach Theo Sliman served as moderator. Coaches and players also received gift bags upon arrival — another tournament first.
"This tournament should be a first-class event, and we're going to do everything we can to make that happen," Boudreaux said. "The three courses are all in great shape."
All six defending team champions are returning this year — Byrd in boys Division I, Benton in boys Division II, Calvary Baptist in boys Division III, St. Mary's of Natchitoches in boys Division IV, Zachary in girls Division I and University Lab in girls Division II. Of the 48 teams to participate in last year's tournament in the six divisions, 33 of those teams survived last week's regional competitions to earn berths in the state tournament.
Each division has eight teams as well as eight individual players who had the best regional scores among teams that did not qualify for the team competition.
Among the players to watch is Shreveport's Sam Burns, a senior at Calvary Baptist and the Division III individual champion in each of the last three years.
Burns did not play in the regional competition because of his participation in a national American Junior Golf Association (AJGA) tournament but will return to the Calvary lineup for the state meet.
Burns, an LSU signee, is the top-ranked junior in the United States by the AJGA and won last summer's national Junior PGA Championship, which earned him a spot in last month's PGA Tour Valero Texas Open in San Antonio. He will also play in the Tour's FedEx St. Jude Classic later this season.
Fellow Shreveport products Phillip Barbaree and Carter Toms, son of longtime PGA Tour player and PGA champion David Toms of LSU, led Byrd to the regional win last week. Barbaree, who set a Louisiana Golf Association Junior Amateur record last year with a three-round 197 score, blazed to a 9-under 63 at Alexandria's Oak Wing course in the regional round.
Trey Winstead of University Lab, son of LSU golf coach Chuck Winstead, carded a 6-under 66 in leading University Lab to the Division II, Region II team title at the Atchafalaya course in Patterson last week. But Winstead had to share individual honors with Catholic-New Iberia's Micah Goulas, who also posted a 66 only a few days after winning top individual honors in the Acadiana Area High School Golf League championship.
The girls divisions are paced by Mary Frances Chauvin of Hammond, who was a freshman was the runner-up in girls' Division I individual play last year, and East Iberville's Julia Johnson. Chauvin posted a stellar 7-under 65 and Johnson a 67 in last week's Division I and II regional round at Greystone in Denham Springs.

'Tis the season to eat, drink and be merry! It is the happiest time of the year, yet sometimes hosting a holiday party can be stressful. To help throw the perfect holiday soiree and keep your spirits high all season long, follow these five tips for a stress-free holiday.
1. Redefine the "perfect" party.
When planning holiday festivities, don't focus on achieving perfection, instead plan for the party you will enjoy. Set realistic expectations and create a checklist of details prioritizing them based on what's most important to you. Whether it's the company, the food or the decor, make decisions you're happy with. Focus on the main course and then pick up seasonal items from the local store, like Frito-Lay's holiday snacks, for appetizers, sides and yes – even dessert. This will make the planning more enjoyable and won't cause added stress.
2. Put time on your side.

As the White House and congressional Republicans race against the clock to try to strike a deal to avert the year-end "fiscal cliff," NBC's Jay Leno pointed out a timely historical finding on his Monday show.
"In what's being called a stunning literary find, a Danish historian has discovered the last remaining unpublished fairy tale of Hans Christian Andersen. It's called 'Congress solves the fiscal cliff.' It is considered the biggest fairy tale ever told," Leno said in his opening monologue on "The Tonight Show."

Desert Biome

The Desert Biome
The desert biome is a dry, hot place. It feels like a furnace during the summer months. It smells like burnt toast because it's so hot. I feel the spines on the cacti and the hot ground under my sandals. I see few plants and animals. Many animals hide during the day and only come out at night. Because there is so little water in the desert biome, many animals get water from the food they eat like seeds and nuts. I would not like to live in the desert. It's too hot!
