U.S. patent application entitled "METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR AUTOMATICALLY ABSTRACTING MULTIMEDIA INFORMATION," application Ser. No. 09/465,988, filed on Sep. 10, 1999, assigned to the assignee of the application herein is referred to below.
The present invention relates to the field of video indexing, retrieval and abstraction. More particularly, the present invention relates to a system and method for on-the-fly video annotations for enabling improved video indexing and retrieval.
For many years, an increasing number of people own and use video recorders to make video movies that capture their experiences and document their lives. Oddly, most videos are put into a storage box and rarely watched again.
Research is growing in the field of video abstracting. Video abstracting is the processes of taking unedited video footage and combining shorter segments of that footage into one abstract. Existing automatic video abstracting systems concentrate on feature films, documentaries or newscasts. Currently, there are generally three systems that produce videos as abstracts. The first is called video skimming. It aims mainly at abstracting documentaries and newscasts. Video skimming assumes that the audio track transcript is available. The video and the transcript are then aligned by word spotting. The audio track of the video skim is constructed by using language analysis (such as the Term Frequency Inverse Document Frequency measure) to identify important words in the transcript. Audio clips around those words are then cut out. Based on detected faces, text, and camera operations, video clips for the video skim are selected from the surrounding frames.
The second system called MoCA Abstracting. MoCA Abstracting was explicitly designed to generate trailers of feature films. The MoCA Abstracting system performs an extensive video analysis of a feature film to segment it into shots or scenes and to determine special events, such as text appearing in the title sequence, close-up shots of main actors, explosions, gunfire, etc. This information is used to select the clips for the video abstract. During the final assembly, ordering and editing rules are presented. Since MoCA Abstracting relies highly on special events such as explosions, gunfire, shot or reverse shot dialogs, and actions that are usually not present in home videos it cannot be used to abstract home video.
The third system by Saarela and Merialdo does not perform any automatic content analysis. Instead they assume that videos have been annotated manually or automatically by descriptors for various properties and relations of audio and video segments. Based on those descriptors the authors try to define "optimal" summaries. They present constraints for video summaries and methods to evaluate the importance of a specific segment.
These existing automatic video abstracting systems concentrate on feature films, documentaries or newscasts. Since raw video footage such as home video is inherently different from all broadcast video, new abstracting principles and algorithms are needed.
Embodiments of the present invention relate to a method and system for generating annotations for video indexing and retrieval. More particularly, in one embodiment the present invention relates to a system and method for on-the-fly video annotations for enabling improved and more selective video abstracts. On-the-fly annotations are verbal notes made by the user contemporaneously with the video footage. Although described with respect to video abstracting, the present invention can be implemented in applications that benefit from indexing and retrieval via annotations. In the following description, for purposes of explanation, specific nomenclature is set forth to provide a thorough understanding of the present invention. For example, the term "video" comprises motion pictures and sound. A "video abstract" denotes a short video consisting of motion pictures and sound. However, it will be apparent to one skilled in the art that these specific details are not required in order to practice the present invention.
The present system allows a user to insert annotations within video footage, use the annotations to create video abstracts and remove the annotations from the original video. The invention may be implemented in multiple embodiments. For example, the video may be annotated "on-the-fly" as described below; alternatively the video may be annotated at a later time. Furthermore, the annotations are not limited to video, but may also be extended to purely audio applications and video obtained by other means. Although the embodiments below implement both hardware components and software components, it will be apparent one skilled in the art that these specific details are not required in order to practice the present invention.
Referring to
In one embodiment, the following system utilizes a two-microphone setup with a video recorder to support annotations on-the-fly. The electronic system (100) comprises a processor unit (110), a display device (120), a data storage unit (130), an analog to digital converter (A/D) (140), a video recorder (150), a voice microphone (160), and an environmental microphone (170).
The processor unit (110) acquires a digital video signal (141) from the video recorder (150) via the A/D (140). Voice microphone (160) provides digitized audio annotations via the A/D (140). Environmental microphone (170) provides digitized environmental audio via A/D (140) containing both environmental sounds as well as annotations. The processor unit (110) takes the digital video signal, analyzes it and stores the video together with the digitized voice and environmental audio signals in the data storage (130). When a user requests a new video abstract, the digitized voice signal, environmental audio signal and digitized video signal (141) are retrieved from the data storage (130) in order to create a new video abstract. The video abstract is played back on the display device (120).
The invention would be equally applicable to a system that utilizes a digital video camera with two digital audio tracks or other digital or analog recording device. Further, the invention could be implemented in a system using less than or more than two microphones.
Still referring to
At processing block 210 the digital signal (141) is received by a splitter that separates the audio and video channels. At processing block 220 the processor unit (110) removes on-the-fly annotations from the digitized environmental audio. Shot boundaries are generated through video processing block 250 and are used to shorten the duration of each shot. Then, the annotation-free audio signal and shot boundaries are used to find selected clips of video footage. This process is carried out at shot shortening block 230. Next, the description of a shot's representative clips is stored in the data storage (130). In processing block 240, the digitized annotations (161) are passed on to a speech recognition engine. The resulting transcribed annotations as well as time-stamp annotations are stored in data storage (130).
Annotations may be varying types of free speech. However, the system allows each content descriptive free speech annotation to be preceded by a keyword specifying the kind of annotation and its associated temporal validity. In one embodiment, for the processor unit (110) to transcribe annotations with the speech recognition engine (240), the syntax of the annotations is the following: <keyword>, <temporal validity>, and <free speech text> where keyword is a title, person or object and temporal validity is either of a shot, action, event, day or week. The keyword allows general descriptions to be distinguished from specific descriptions (e.g. naming persons and objects). In practice, object descriptions are most often defaulted if no keyword is present. The temporal validity specifies the temporal extent of the description. By way of example, to label a recording as a one-week vacation video, you would say "TITLE WEEK . . . " in order to assign the annotation to the vacation video.
In one embodiment, the names SHOT, ACTION, EVENT, DAY and WEEK denote five types of time-based hierarchical shot clusters. An ACTION or level 1 cluster is defined as a sequence of contiguous actions. Shots within a 5-minute duration, form an ACTION cluster. The idea behind this type of cluster is to group shots of high causality. An EVENT or level 2 cluster represents a sequence of contiguous activities within an one-hour duration. EVENT activities usually last longer than actions and span numerous actions. A DAY or level 3 cluster represents individual days, while a WEEK or level 4 cluster represents seven contiguous DAYs. In one embodiment, if no temporal validity is provided, SHOT or level 0 is assumed. As a result, annotations are not assigned accidentally to unrelated video clips.
Editing commands are also supported through Annotations. The first supported command is DELETE. For the processor unit (110) to DELETE sections of video, the syntax of the annotations is the following: DELETE, <time> and <temporal validity> where time is either CURRENT or LAST. For example, a delete command could be "DELETE CURRENT SHOT," or "DELETE LAST EVENT." Another supported editing command is for RATING. For the processor unit (110) to rate the importance of contents, the syntax of the annotations may be the following: RATING, <time><temporal validity> as <rating> where rating is either SECONDARY, DEFAULT, IMPORTANT or HIGHLIGHT. In other embodiments, alternative editing commands can be supported without departing from the present invention.
Referring to
Secondly, annotations can be used to enhance the visual presentation of video abstracts. Hereto, short TITLE annotations may be shown as centered text title introducing the subsequent video clips. Annotations might also be added as small scrolling text banners at the bottom or top of the video frames. PEOPLE annotations can be used to append a closing sequence to the video abstract.
Finally, shots can be cut down to the part(s) with descriptive annotations, and annotation-free shots may be discarded. This abstraction rule is motivated by the fact that the important objects, persons, or actions often come along with annotations. Nevertheless, additional clips may either be discarded or added in order to meet the target duration of the requested abstract.
Referring now to
One potential problem of the LMS algorithm is its slow adjustment rate to the real tap weights of a wide-sense stationary signal as well as to system changes of the underlying signal. Referring to
Varying methods for creating video abstracts may be implemented with the present system. By way of example, a video abstract may be obtained from the methods disclosed in co-pending provisional U.S. patent application entitled "METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR AUTOMATICALLY ABSTRACTING MULTIMEDIA INFORMATION." application Ser. No. 09/465,988, filed on Sep. 10, 1999, assigned to the assignee of the application herein.
In one embodiment, video-abstracts are created in 3 steps. First a one-time processing step analyzes the video in order to determine Shot Boundaries (511), Time and Date of Recording (512), Hierarchical Shot Clusters (513), and Short Representative Clips (514).
Shot Boundaries (511) are determined based upon how the video was acquired, whether with a digital video camera or analog video recorder. If a digital video camera is used, the Shot Boundaries (511) are calculated based upon the time and date of the recording stored with the frames. In one embodiment, time increments of more than one second between contiguous frames marks a Shot Boundary (511). With analog video cameras, video is first digitized and Shot Boundaries (511) are then determined.
Time and Date of Recording (512) are also determined based upon how the video was acquired, whether with a digital video camera or analog video recorder. If a digital video camera is used, the Time and Date of Recording (512) can be read on the digital video stream. In the case of an analog video recorder, a superimposed date and time stamp created on the film when the video was acquired can be extracted. By way of example, this information may be extracted from the video by adjusting the text segmentation and text recognition algorithms to the specific characteristics of time and date information in the videos.
Hierarchical Shot Clusters (513) are constructed based upon the Time and Date of Recording (512), thus generating a four-level Hierarchy of Shot Clusters (513). The Shot Clusters (513) are determined by temporal distance between contiguous shots. Individual shots represent a level 0 cluster, while levels 1, 2, 3, and 4 represent a sequence of contiguous actions, activities, individual days and weeks.
In one embodiment, Short Representative Clips (514) for shots are created when a shot is reduced to a relevant part based on audio features. By way of example, the shot may be reduced to approximately 10 seconds of video. Finally, these representative clips that are to be part of the video abstract are selected and compiled into the final video abstract by inserting edits and title sequences (530). Clip selection and edit decisions are based upon heuristic rules. For example, shots of different days are always spliced together by a fade out or fade in sequence making the temporal gap explicitly visible.
The foregoing has described a method and system for creating video abstracts. More particularly, the present invention relates to a system and method for on-the-fly video annotations for enabling improved and more selective video abstracts. It is contemplated that changes and modifications may be made by one of ordinary skill in the art, to the materials and arrangements of elements of the present invention without departing from the scope of the invention.
The present invention provides a method and system for processing video signals. The system receives a video signal, a first audio signal containing an annotation and a second audio signal containing environmental sounds corresponding to the video signal. In one embodiment the system generates searchable annotations corresponding to the video and second audio signals via the first audio signal.

The Best Shows in NYC This Week
Written by Patrick McNamara
Welcome to this really great Internet article!
Recommended read if you like learning about good shows happening in NYC this week and/or you like The Internet and/or its websites.
Here we go!
Monday - January 25, 2016 A.D.
Tonight at Rough Trade you MIGHT have another chance to see Julien Baker (she played a couple days ago at Mercury Lounge, also with eskimeaux, and it was sold-out) and since she's good you should really consider going…. if you can get a ticket. I have no idea if this one is sold-out or not. I guess I could spend the time looking it up for you but no thanks. What I WILL do, however, is give you the opportunity to stream her SOLID debut album now. Oh, no worries! You're so welcome.
By the way, Rough Trade, at the same time as the Julien Baker show is also hosting a signing by Anthrax where if you buy their new record (I could look up what it's called ehh maybe later) and take it up to them they'll sign the shit out of it.
Julien Baker vs. Anthrax signing. YOU make the call.
Other notable Monday shows = Lazyeyes at (le) poisson rouge + Wyatt Cenac's "Night Train" at Littlefield
Tuesday - January 26, 2016 A.D.
Chairlift play National Sawdust. This is the show you should go to tonight.
Other notable shows = as per our prior conversation exactly one line ago THIS is THE show you should go to tonight
Wednesday - January 27, 2016 A.D.
There's a "Secret Show" at Baby's All Right tonight. It's being billed just like that. "Secret Show." Who do you think it is? Tell me on Twitter. The best ones get a RT and will probably be wrong and that's what makes it fun but seriously I have no idea who the secret band is at the secret show tonight also where's Fluffy?
Once again I tried to use the worst clip art possible how did I do? Thanks!
There's a FREE Neon Indian + Future Punx show at Music Hall of Williamsburg and it was all made possible thanks to some shoes or something. Two good bands. You don't pay. Pretty exciting stuff. However, don't get too high because if you didn't already RSVP it's too late to turn back time to when the list was still open (follow us on Twitter and I PROMISE to try and remember to remind you when stuff like RSVP lists open). But maybe you can still get in. I don't know. I'm sure there are ways. You'll figure it out. I believe in you.
Rising up-and-coming buzzy singer/songwriter Bruce Springsteen plays DIY co-op art space, Madison Square Garden. He hails from………. damn, where did I put that press release……. ah, there it is…. dang it, now I can't find my glasses…….. ah, there we are…….. New Jersey. Mr. Springsteen hails from New Jersey.
(Does this really great content sound familiar to any of you careful Rockness readers who delight in this digital article each week? No response? OK, cool. Just checking.)
Other notable Wednesday shows = DJ Big Boi at Output + Joan Baez 75th birthday bash at Beacon Theatre + Muse at Barclays
Thursday - January 28, 2016 A.D.
Good Room has a fundraiser rager tonight for Bernie Sanders featuring a bunch of peeps like Nancy Whang (The Juan Maclean/LCD Soundsystem), Sinkane and lots more. Go if you support Sanders or just want to DANCE.
If you prefer solidly melodic synth pop might I be so bold as to suggest you go see Wet either at Bowery Ballroom or tomorrow at Rough Trade? They recently toured with CHVRCHES if this helps you make the very best decision for you and your musical needs tonight.
Good Gainesville scuzz punks Soda play Alphaville (with Pill and friends). Please enjoy blasting this song from the band's brand new album on Dull Tools (co-run by a Parquet Court and a Future Punk) and if you like it (spoiler: you will) consider going to see them play it for you in the flesh. Keep it fresh.
Other notable Thursday shows = Skaters at Baby's All Right + Young Galaxy at (le) poisson rouge + Baked at Palisades + Walter Martin of The Walkmen at Union Pool
Friday - January 29, 2016 A.D.
Pictureplane plays Trans-Pecos. Come! Let's dance! Also on this bill….. announcing (!) the triumphant return (!!) of DJ Dog Dick. That's DJ Dog Dick, ladies and gentlemen. DJ…. Dog….. Dick.
Surf Rock is Dead open for The High Highs at Union Pool. File Under: A Good Band. If you like jingle and/or jangle please consider streaming this dope song right…………….. NOW.
Other notable Friday shows = Flying Lotus at Music Hall of Williamsburg + St. Lucia at Baby's All Right + Mothers at Palisades + Kal Marks at Aviv + Wet at Rough Trade + Man Forever at The Greene Space
Saturday - January 30, 2016 A.D.
If you like the punk rock…. there's a good one at Palisades tonight led by Flagland and Two Inch Astronaut and Cheap Dinosaurs and Infinity Girl and Stove and we're all winners here.
If you like the big time synth pop…. NYC's own St. Lucia plays Webster Hall (after playing Baby's the night before). They grow up so fast! Please enjoy this delightful song below. At first I thought the drummer was Chicago Bulls star, Pau Gasol. Crazy, I know, but for a second I thought maybe it was similar to John Stamos playing drums for The Beach Boys on "Kokomo" or something. But upon further research I discovered that it's not….. the drummer of St. Lucia is not Pau Gasol…. he's helluva ballplayer, though…. I'm talking about Pau Gasol here…. not the drummer... although I've never seen his skills on the hardwood maybe he's super good too…. at basketball, that is….. and drumming too…. thanks for listening.
Other notable Saturday shows = Chomp at Aviv + Givers at Bowery Ballroom + So So Glos at McCarren Hotel + Pool + Teen Commandments at Rough Trade
Sunday - January 31, 2016 A.D.
Maybe just stay in and stream something from your couch and enjoy making it through the month of January.
Baby steps, yo. Magnets, yo.
Other Sunday shows = if you must go out because you don't own a couch consider supporting 826NYC and go to their fundraiser at The Bell House with Chris Gethard and a bunch more solid comics it wouldn't be the wrong move by any means.

In a turnaround that shouldn't surprise anyone at this point, Donald Trump has decided against releasing the results of his medical exam on "The Dr. Oz Show."
The results of Donald Trump's recent medical exam won't be revealed when the GOP presidential nominee appears on "The Dr. Oz Show" this week.
Television personality Mehmet Oz had been expected to release the results of Trump's recent physical when the GOP presidential nominee appears on his show Thursday.
But Trump campaign aides said the interview will instead focus on general health issues like the importance of an active lifestyle and positive thinking, as well as health-related political issues.
And while the interview is expected to touch on Trump's fitness for office — especially in light of Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton's recent pneumonia diagnosis — it won't delve into results from Trump's recent exam or lab work.
Oz told Fox News Radio's "Kilmeade & Friends" that he would only touch on parts of the physical that Trump was open to discussing and wouldn't delve into uncomfortable topics. He added he wouldn't talk about Clinton's health at all.

HGH, also known as Human Growth Hormone, is produced from the pituitary gland which stimulates growth in kids and teenagers. It is also know to regulate the composition of the body, muscle, body fluids, and also growth of the bones. It also helps in sugar and fat metabolism, along with heart functioning sometimes.
Since it is produced synthetically, HGH is said to be the active ingredient in various prescription of drugs and in products which are available widely over the Internet. There are various websites which sell HGH, but all of them are not genuine. The one website which sells genuine HGH is worldhgh.com. Do not believe it? Well! Yes, you heard it right, HGH for sale on worldhgh.com.
Here are a few benefits of HGH you might want to look at before consuming them:
- It helps you to burn fat without dieting.This means you do not have to cut down on your food, but still lose muscles in order to burn your fat.
- You will be able to gain muscle and lose fat simultaneously. Also, HGH has fat burning activity and strong anabolic effects. Thus, by buying HGH and using it, you can lose fat and gain muscles at the same time.
- It induces abundance of cells of muscle.Growth hormone divides the muscle cells, thus giving the capability for better hypertrophy.
- This hormone helps on repairing the joints as well.Usually most of the people, who spend most of their time in gym, have joint pain. HGH however has the ability to increase the level of collagen synthesis which will repair your joints quickly.
Although there is a problem in the market, most of it is full of fake stuff and low-quality goods. It is pretty tough to find genuine HGH products.
Are you wondering it is this tough to find genuine HGH products in the market? This is largely since a large amount of HGH you find on the Internet is prepared by underground laboratories which do not have licenses, ones that do not have proper amenities to produce and purify the growth hormones.
This is why you can see on many bodybuilding forums there will be complain about various problems such as itches and immune response and so on. Another major problem is which is encountered is lack of security system. There are no codes, fibers, stickers, holograms, or any other security elements, which prevents you from buying the fake ones.
To make sure that you buy the genuine HGH products, here are a few tips.
- HGH islegitimately manufactured on huge Chinese factories which are under the control of state to treat Chinese children. Thus, you can be certain about the quality of pharmacy being maintained.
- They must have GMP certification.All of the brands which are at worldhgh.com have the pharmaceutical GMP certification.
- These brands also have a strong security system. Every kit of the various brands of HGH has unique codes that can be verified on the website of that particular brand. It also comprises of a unique sticker or hologram which is really hard to fake.
Some of the high-quality growth hormone available on this website is Jintropin, Hygetropin and Ansomone.

Townie vs Bayman commercials
If you've ever been part of a good "townies vs baymen" debate, you'll enjoy these commercials by a local Newfoundland car dealership. For the unfamiliar, people who live in St. John's have long been dubbed "townies", while their counterparts around the bay have been termed "baymen".
At one time the highway served to distinguish the two groups, and whether you lived "inside the overpass" or "outside the pass" would imply everything from the way you spoke and dressed, to whether you liked moose or cut your own wood. Though the lines have been blurred as of late (can you still call paradise the bay?) you can tell from the videos that the old townie-bayman feud is alive and well.
(Fun fact: I have indeed heard someone pronounce it "mitshoo-beechee")
You can vote for the winner of each video at townievsbayman.com, which was set up by Capital Mitsubishi to promote their "Outlander" SUV. They have separate bayman and townie entrances and take it a step further by listing stereo and bluetooth as townie options, while all-wheel drive, folding tailgate, etc are listed as bayman options.
The townie vs bayman debate:
I was just a child when I first heard a bayman poke fun at a townie. At a rural fair a man was driving a hard thin stake into the ground with the back of an axe. He was using great overhead swings and hit the peg squarely every time. Another man was watching him and finally commented:
"You must be from the bay."
"how'd you know?"
"Cause If you were from town you'd be after missing that half a dozen times already."
And the townies can dish it out as well. Here's another exchange I heard some years later:
Townie: "My God, there's some lot of baymen working here now"
Bayman: "Go way, St. John's would shut down if it wasn't for all the baymen"
Townie: "I guess it's better to have you in town working than us sending you out money!"

Sapphire R9 290 Vapor-X OC Review
Sapphire's R9 290 Vapor-X OC is not only one of the highest-clocked R9 290 cards around but it also boasts some of the highest overclocking headroom we've come across in a long time.

BenQ's RL2460HT is gaming monitor which ditches the current 120Hz trend for a more affordable approach. It utilizes upgraded electronics to achieve a 1ms response time and incorporates a ton of gaming-focused features.
ASUS' U7 is the latest addition to their Xonar lineup and it takes things to another level. Typically USB sound cards are sub par at best but this one will change your mind.
After numerous revisions and countless updates, Samsung's 840 Pro has gone from an old timer to one of the best SSDs on the market. In this review, we look at the latest "MZ" revision.
The ASUS Z97-A may not be an expensive board as far as Intel's Z97 chipset goes but it offers an envious mix of features and overclocking capabilities.
GIGABYTE's entry into the Z97 motherboard market will be built atop the shoulders of their new Z97X-Gaming G1 Black Edition, the newest iteration in the G1-series and a replacement for the G.1 Sniper 5.
Plextor's M6e dares to do things differently. It uses an tiny M.2 SSD which is hitching a rid aboard a PCI-E adapter, granting extreme speeds without the need for an M.2 port.
During a recent event we got some hands on time with all of ASUS' upcoming 9-series motherboards. In this preview we go in-depth with all the new models.
The sound of a $99 mid-tower case may not sound like anything special but the new Phanteks Enthoo Pro does things differently. Like the Primo before it, the Pro sets a new standard.
Intel's newest enthusiast SSD, the 730 series boasts their X25 Gen3 controller and a premium price. But with so much competition near its $250 price, is there enough to set the 730 apart?

ASSIGNMENT 5 Pizza Palace is running a promotional
Click Link Below To Buy:
Question 1 is based on the following information:
Pizza Palace is running a promotional sale on 2 litre bottles of Cola. The hope is to attract more customers into the shop who will also buy a pizza with two toppings at the regular price. They will lose R9,00 on every Cola order. The profit, however on each pizza will be R15,00. Let c represent the number of bottles of Cola sold and p the number of pizzas. Breaking even is the worst they are willing to accept. If they break even, the losses from the Cola sales will be equal to the profit from the pizza sales:
9c = 15p.
They want the losses from the Cola sales to be less than or equal to the profit from the pizza sales.
Question 1
Write an inequality for this situation. Graph the inequality by plotting the number of bottles of Cola sold on the horizontal axis and the number of pizzas sold on the vertical axis. Indicate the region where the Pizza Palace will profit from the promotion.
Question 3
Suppose you need to use at least R45,00 worth of stamps to mail a package. You have as many R3 stamps as you need, but only four R5 stamps. You want to determine how many of each stamp you have to use. Let x represent the number of R5 stamps you have to use. Let y represent the number of R3 stamps you have to use. Write a system of linear inequalities describing the possible number of each stamp you have to use. Determine one possible solution to the problem.

This data set provides active fire locations and estimates of annual fire frequencies for South America from 2000-2007. Data from the Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) sensors aboard the Terra (2000-2007) and Aqua (2003-2007) satellite platforms were analyzed to determine spatial and temporal patterns in satellite fire detections. The analysis considered a high-confidence subset of all MODIS fire detections to reduce the influence of false fire detections over small forest clearings in Amazonia (Schroeder et al., 2008). The number of unique days on which the active fire detections were recorded within a 1 km radius was estimated from the subset of active fire detections and the ArcGIS neighborhood variety algorithm. There are 14 data files with this data set: 7 GeoTIFF (.tif) files of fire frequency at MODIS 250 m resolution, where each grid cell value represents the number of days in that year on which active fires were detected, and 7 shape files of active fire locations for the years 2001-2007.

Project Status
Empire East
Project Type
1, 3 Bedroom
Unit Types
Gilmore Heights is a high rise residential development by Empire East Holdings offering stylish one bedroom and three bedroom units for prospective home buyers. Offering convenient and leisure living, the condominium has the huge advantage of having many establishments within the vicinity. Residents can access malls like Greenhills Shopping Complex, Robinsons Galleria, and SM Megamall. Schools like Xavier School, De La Salle Greenhills, and Immaculate Concepcion Academy are also near the area. With posh amenities that include a swimming pool, a playground, a function room, and a social hall, residents can relax and unwind or be able to host various events. Being right near the center of several business districts makes travelling easier for working professionals who are living in the condominium. Gilmore Heights guarantees that you get the most out of your home experience.
View All
The Good -
With its wide lobby area, amenities areas, and units, Gilmore Heights does not disappoint when it comes to comfortable spacing. Both security and reception are around the clock and convenience stores are available just across the street. The roof deck area is where residents will find the amenities and the wide space makes the area suitable for parties. Also, residents can get some air amidst the city.
The Bad -
In terms of unit quality, the condominium could improve their maintenance. Some of the unit fixtures, flooring, and wall paint need fixing. Although the condominium is conveniently located in the bustling Gilmore Avenue where there are plenty of shops and convenience stores, the area in the immediate surroundings of the building is quite unclean. If residents wanted to open spaces to jog in, they would find it quite problematic since there aren't a lot of parks near the area.
The Verdict -
All in all, Gilmore Heights is still a good investment for working professionals and starting families because of the easy access to convenience stores, malls, and shops in the surrounding area. Though the rooms may need sprucing up, they are spacious and would be a comfortable place to live in. Tenants can also rest easy knowing there is 24 hour security and that they can count on the reception to be available around the clock.

Knives That Are Tools: BlackHawk Small Pry Breach Knife
Written by TR Staff
0 Comments
The BlackHawk® Dynamic Entry® Small Pry™ is a carefully thought-out piece of breaching equipment. Sure, we have two-man rams, sledgehammers and Hallagan tools. The last door breach our team did, however, was accomplished with a 15-inch wrecking bar. And that is the point. Sometimes the smaller, handier, easier to carry, "have-it-with-you-all-the-time" tools are actually more useful, and more used. The BlackHawk Dynamic Entry Small Pry is one tool that is light and compact enough to have with you all the time.
Many tasks call for lighter tools, but they definitely still call for tools. We need to open inside doors, inside drawers, inside closets, inside containers, and the door ram, big crowbar and Hallagan tool are downstairs, outside on the ground by the front door. Or maybe your toolman neatly places everything in his backpack and immediately follows the rest of the entry team…not.
Small Pry is a cute little name for a tool that is really a "breach knife." The Small Pry is the first joint effort by two separate BlackHawk entities: Dynamic Entry and BlackHawk Blades. As a result, the dual-purpose tool performs both the breach role and the knife role, achieving both with BlackHawk excellence.
Dynamic Entry is legendary for producing entry tools that actually work, and this one fills yet another niche. The Small Pry can perform "breach" functions like a pry bar. It can be used to break and then be turned over to do the rake. It can perform "knife" functions like cutting, chopping and hacking. Unlike most big knives with edges only as sharp as an axe, this cutting edge is as sharp as any tactical folder. Most importantly, the Small Pry is handy enough in size, weight and bulk to actually keep it on your LBV.
The Small Pry breach knife is made from a slab of ¼-inch steel. It remains ¼-inch thick from the rounded, exposed pommel to within a ½-inch of the flat tip and blade edge. No taper. No bevel. No false edge. It is ¼-inch thick everywhere and 14 inches long. The Small Pry weighs 21 ounces, which is exactly the same as a 15-inch wrecking bar. The Small Pry is a hammer, hatchet, club, shovel, knife, break-and-rake tool and pry bar. It can cut through screens, back through wire-reinforced glass and chop through drywall.
The cutting edge has a "chisel" grind. One side of the blade is absolutely flat. The other side has an edge angle of about 30 degrees. That means the total included angle is just 30 degrees, making this a sharper grind than saber, double bevel, and convex (axe) ground blades. The last 0.05-inch of the blade has an edge grind. Even if this razor edge gets beaten and rounded, you still have the 30 degree included angle chopping edge, sharper than an axe.
Most of us have a bad habit of running our fingers along the blade edge to see how sharp it is. Especially on an entry club like this, you expect the cutting edge to have an axe-grind and be only axe-sharp. Here is what is going to happen: You are going to run your finger across the flattened tip and find it does not have a knife edge. It is just slightly flattened. Then you are going to run your finger down the knife edge, expecting it to also be flattened—you will slice your finger so deeply that you need stitches.
So, before you do something that will get blood all over your BDUs, keep in mind the Small Pry's heritage:
BlackHawk Blades
. Right out of the box, the Small Pry is sharp enough to slice a sheet of paper held on edge in the air. It is not quite sharp enough to shave arm hair, but close. And all this from a tool that is basically a pry bar.
For a 21-ounce, 14-inch long tool, the Small Pry can be used to make surprisingly precise cuts. The flat spine allows hand-finger placement very close to the cutting edge. Held like this, the balance point is exactly where the wrist bends. This allows the same tip control during cutting as a tactical folder. The sharply-defined, almost-90-degree-angle tip further helps point control. Not that you would, but you can actually whittle with this big tool.
The relatively short cutting edge length (3.5 inches) actually makes the big tool easier to grasp for precision cutting than a big fixed blade with a 7-inch cutting edge. Hint: Because the blade edge is only ground on one side, it is important to hold the tool straight while cutting. Otherwise, the slicing will arc slightly in the opposite direction of the ground side.
D2 Tool Steel
A bewildering number of knife steels and stainless steels exist. So what is D2? Where does it fit in the big scheme of things? D2 Tool Steel is a premium grade alloy. It is harder, more corrosion resistant, tougher, and more shock and chip resistant than other Tool Carbon or High Carbon Steels.
D2 is basically a semi-stainless steel. Chromium is what makes a steel alloy "stainless" steel. Definitions vary widely as to how much chromium is needed to call the steel "stainless." Some sources say a minimum of 10%, but others say 12%. At any rate, D2 has 12% chromium. The 440-series stainless steels have 16% to 18% chromium. The other factor is carbon. It is carbon which turns iron into steel. Stainless steels have 0.5% to 1.2% carbon, while D2 has 1.5% carbon. The more carbon, the harder the alloy.
High Carbon Steel holds an edge better than most stainless steels. The downside, of course, is the need for at least a little maintenance. The entire surface of the Small Pry is finished with black epoxy powder coat. No care whatsoever is needed with that. Only the very edge of the cutting surface, the last 1/16 inch, is exposed steel. Run a honing stone down one side of the edge and wipe it with gun oil—that's it.
The flat leading edge of the Small Pry has a chisel grind to almost a sharp edge. This, of course, is the pry edge. It has steps in the grind surface for grip on the surfaces being pried. The Small Pry can be jammed into a gap by the force of a two-hand thrust; the 8-inch textured rubber handle has room for two hands. Or it can be inserted into the gap and palmed in with pressure on the pommel. The pommel has exposed steel, as it should, but it is also rounded to allow a great deal of hand pressure without causing pain. Of course, the exposed pommel also means the Small Pry can be sledge-hammered into place.
The handle of the Small Pry has been over-molded with thermoplastic rubber, and it has a checkered finish. This texturing helps the grip with bare hands and gloved hands alike. The hook of the Small Pry (the curved part behind the cutting edge) has deeply machined reliefs. This jimping is designed to grab the glass during the rake sweeps.
The Small Pry comes with a Kydex® molded sheath. This adds almost no weight, of course, but it also keeps the entire rig very flat. The sheath is no thicker than the slender, rubber-covered handle. The Kydex sheath is formed to allow the Small Pry to friction-snap in place. Hanging handle-down, the entire setup passes the jump test and the rollover test. And there is nothing on either the sheath or the exposed handle to snap or grab on anything it brushes against. The Small Pry breach knife comes with one of two mounting kits. One is designed for STRIKE compatibility. The other is a more "universal" mounting kit for other LBVs and backpacks.
The ingenious design of the Small Pry allows for a fast and straightforward break-and-rake. Shatter the glass with a hammer blow using the tip of the flat spine. Then, either continue the forward motion, inserting the point, grabbing the glass with the curved edge and pulling up, or shatter the glass, turn the Small Pry edge down, insert the tool, engage the glass, and pull down and out.
We carried the Small Pry on a couple of SWAT training days. Some abandoned buildings, houses and mobile homes were the proving grounds. The tool is so light, compact and portable that it is easy to have with you and, after use, to keep with you. We already carry a bunch of gear on the LBV. This tool, however, does so many things, and does them so well, that at least one operator on the team should have a Small Pry. You will now find you can leave the rest of the entry tools outside on the ground, by the point of entry.
With an MSRP of $200, the Small Pry is actually less expensive than most tactically-oriented fixed blades that do less than this tool can. Any day you break-and-rake glass is a good day. And any day you pry open a locked door using a tool you already have with you is an even better day.

text: Both of our cruises on the magic 07 & 08 we were given these at dinner on Pirate night. On the Wonder in 09 these were not given out and if you wanted to dress like a Pirate you had to hit Treasure Ketch. Next cruise is on the Magic and am wondering if we need to bring the old bandanas or whether they still give them out on the longer cruises.

Paradise or Oblivion Trailer (2012)
01 January 2012 Factual 48 mins
Paradise or Oblivion is a free online documentary produced by the Venus Project. This documentary details the root causes of the systemic value disorders and detrimental symptoms caused by our current established system. The film advocates a new socio-economic system, which is updated to present-day knowledge, featuring the life-long work of Social Engineer, Futurist, Inventor and Industrial Designer Jacques Fresco, which he calls a Resource-Based Economy. Paradise or Oblivion by the Venus Project introduces the viewer to a more appropriate value system that would be required to enable this caring and holistic approach to hhuman civilisation. This alternative surpasses the need for a monetary-based, controlled scarcity environment we find ourselves in today.
Watch the official Paradise or Oblivion 2012 trailer in HD below or find more Paradise or Oblivion videos on Vidimovie.

Brownfields, not greenbelts, on L.A. 'toxic tour'
A bus shuttles rubber-necking sightseers through Los Angeles, but you won't find any homes of the stars on the itinerary. Scrap recyclers, rendering plants, rail yards and refineries are the staples of this "toxic tour" through low-income neighborhoods southeast of Los Angeles that are most burdened by pollution.

Taco-Man: Hurricane
Rated 4 / 5 stars
Poking fun at the hurricane?
What are you people thinking! This movie was at no point making fun of the desaster! It was making fun of how the government and other figures of the public reacted to it!
My opinion: At no point did the author make fun of the victims or the damage that was done. A well-done flash with an o.k. sense of humour. Didn't actually make me laugh out loud, but was entertaining nevertheless. Keep it up!
MGS For Retards
Rated 3 / 5 stars
Easter egg?
Or why can I click on the XBox and it disappears?
Bunnykill 2
Rated 4.5 / 5 stars
Great stuff...but...
...what kinda dissappointed me was the undramatic way special attacks and kills were displayed. For example, the lightning attack of the boss and the final kill, as well as a few others could have used a nice, dramatic buildup. Heck, even good old overused slomo could have done the trick!
