REO Town
REO - Photo Dave Trumpie
The car-centric sense of community that built this historic commercial and residential district is alive and well among its alternately practical and whimsical shops, professional buildings, loft apartments, and home-grown pubs and eateries. With easy access to the Lansing River Trail, downtown and the expressway, this attractive stretch of Washington Street south of I-496 has stayed true to its automotive roots while establishing a strong reputation for festivals, events and art sales.

text: Recently my 722K began having phone problems and DIsh Network sent me out a replacement. I would like to know if there is a way I can save the movies that I have on my old DVR and re-install them onto the new one? I have a wireless home network and a couple of computers on it that both have external hard drives. I have enough ethernet cable to run to a hard drive and/or computer if I need to, or can I do it over my wireless network; or can it be done at ALL? Also, to save this from happening in the future, can I add an external hard drive to my DVR and somehow archive movies to it and later open them through my wireless home network and Samsung Smart TV Thanks!

View the announcement for this #SocialCafe #TBW Chat..This event sponsored, in part, by our wonderful friends at:
Pretty consistently, we agree that knowing where we are going is helpful, first, in defining our brand and social image. Much of that has to do with understanding what our objective is and who we are targeting. As @TheBlogWorkshop said, preparing a mission statement.
Also, on the topic of branding, the concept of being authentic came up. Being authentic as a means of standing out, but more importantly, as being connected to your community.
A1 1) defining what your brand represents 2) target audience 3) feel #SocialCafe #TBW— Deborah (@socialwebcafe) March 20, 2013
A1: genre, purpose, intended audience, knowledge have helped me determine #socialcafe #tbw@socialwebcafe— Lydia R (@lydsrich) March 20, 2013
A1.Establish a brand message or mission statement!This will give you a guide for how you want to develop your brand #SocialCafe #TBW— The Blog Workshop (@TheBlogWorkshop) March 20, 2013
Just like with relationships, there is an element of consistency that is needed with our branding and social image, with the message, theme, logo, colors, and images being consistent throughout our social profiles. And, with that, let's not forget offline items and merchandising, as well.
@socialwebcafe A2. By being consistent and talking about things I am passionate about and supporting products I love #SocialCafe #TBW— scherrie d (@thirtymommy) March 20, 2013
A2.We make sure to keep all our profile pics, colors, themes similar and consistent on all social networks #SocialCafe #TBW— Da Vinci (@YourLifeAfter25) March 20, 2013
In some cases, like those brought out this evening in our chat, there isn't a separation between the business and the personal, when it comes to branding. This may be true of branding yourself as a celebrity, speaker, or even sole proprietor. There are also those people who want to keep their personal separate from the business image and may desire to create a buffer, even if the brand itself pertains to both the person and the "business." Social platforms like Facebook make it trickier to have "just business," but they do have a business account available, if you want to use that in lieu of a personal profile. There are options for whichever path we choose, as long as we understand how to implement the options to meet our personal (and business) needs. Got questions on how to do that? Just ask :)
@socialwebcafe I haven't really separated my business accounts frommy personal, I have a family related blog.#socialcafe— Christy(@upliftingfam) March 20, 2013
A3.So many social networks and platforms have personal pages & brand/fan pages available.Take advantage of your options #SocialCafe #TBW— The Blog Workshop (@TheBlogWorkshop) March 20, 2013
Consistency is key, online and offline, in the branding image that we present, as well as our "message," whether it is written or spoken.
Like @Lydsrich suggests, even the IPhone case. Great idea!
A4 Consistent logo on printed and online materials #SocialCafe #TBW— Deborah (@socialwebcafe) March 20, 2013

The term "authentic" is quite meaningful and popped up in our Twitter Chat this evening. Yes, we agree, people are smart and know the difference. Let's be authentic together, shall we?
@socialwebcafe @alinterpretatio @theblogworkshop Yes, people are smart.I think authenticity and integrity go hand and hand.#socialcafe— Christy(@upliftingfam) March 20, 2013

There is nothing noble in being superior to your fellow man; true nobility is being superior to your former self.
Ernest Hemingway (via thatkindofwoman)

Perfectionism is self-destructive simply because there is no such thing as perfect. Perfection is an unattainable goal. Additionally, perfectionism is more about perception—we want to be perceived as perfect. Again, this is unattainable—there is no way to control perception, regardless of how much time and energy we spend trying.

I've always loved intelligent girls, no matter how they look, to be able to hold a conversation with someone is so important. The moment someone acts dumb, I lose interest. I think about the subtext and layers of a person when I design. I design for someone who has interest in the space around her, who is aware of her relationship with the world, someone a little evolved, a little concerned. I think putting more women in power will help solve a lot of problems in the world. It troubles me that the media celebrate women acting like bimbos on TV — it's not cute, it's ridiculous. I call it 'Paris Hilton Syndrome'; there's a place for that superficiality — but it must neutralized by an equally powerful, intelligent counterforce in culture. I don't want to perpetuate the wrong ideal.

Written by The Editors of Encyclopædia Britannica
guardian spirit, supernatural teacher, frequently depicted in animal form, who guides an individual in every important activity through advice and songs; the belief in guardian spirits is widely diffused among the North American Indians.
In some traditions the guardian manifests itself in a dream or by other portents. In other traditions it is the individual who sets out to discover his guardian by undertaking a vision quest.

The following reactions to isoproterenol hydrochloride injection have been reported:
CNS: Nervousness, headache, dizziness, nausea, visual blurring.
Cardiovascular: Tachycardia, palpitations, angina, Adams-Stokes attacks, pulmonary edema, hypertension, hypotension, ventricular arrhythmias, tachyarrhythmias.
In a few patients, presumably with organic disease of the AV node and its branches, isoproterenol hydrochloride injection has been reported to precipitate Adams-Stokes seizures during normal sinus rhythm or transient heart block.
Respiratory: Dyspnea.
Other: Flushing of the skin, sweating, mild tremors, weakness, pallor.
Read the Isuprel (isoproterenol) Side Effects Center for a complete guide to possible side effects
Isoproterenol hydrochloride injection and epinephrine should not be administered simultaneously because both drugs are direct cardiac stimulants and their combined effects may induce serious arrhythmias. The drugs may, however, be administered alternately provided a proper interval has elapsed between doses.
Avoid ISUPREL when potent inhalational anesthetics such as halothane are employed because of potential to sensitize the myocardium to effects of sympathomimetic amines.

ROCK ISLAND -- Test scores in the Rock Island/Milan School District fell last year as did the district's graduation rate but in his annual state of the schools speech Tuesday, Superintendent Mike Oberhaus said the district is making progress. Speaking at a joint Kiwanis-Rotary Club meeting Mr. Oberhaus said the district is expecting to face a $1.8 million operating deficit for the 2013/2014 school year but he doesn't expect the shortfall will result in cutbacks. "We do not anticipate future cuts at this time but we have to wait and see what the great state does to us next Spring when they determine their funding for schools," he said. The Rock Island/Milan School District spends around $1,600 less per pupil than the state average, Mr. Oberhaus said. He told the audience at the Quad City Botanical Center that closing that gap would mean the district spending $9 million more on its students. The percentage of students meeting or exceeding state standards on all state tests fell from 63 to 41 percent for the 2012-13 school year compared to the year before and the graduation rate dipped slightly from 82 to 81 percent, according to Mr. Oberhaus's presentation. "We have students that aren't performing at the level we'd like them to and we are continuing to evolve the way we do our business to help every child, every day" he said. District enrollment has now increased for five consecutive school years from 5,289 in 2008 to 6,279 this year. Around 70 percent of the district's students qualify for free or reduced school meals, Mr. Oberhaus said. The district's property tax rate also has risen for each of the last four years and Mr. Oberhaus said the rate was increased last year to compensate in part for falling assessed property values in Rock Island. Mr. Oberhaus said the district has a new three-year strategic plan with priorities that include demonstrating individual student improvement in all subject years. The district also is participating in programs like the Iowa Jobs for America's Graduates, which provides counselling and mentoring for up to 35 students selected as at risk for dropping out. Students develop career plans and pursue learning opportunities through the program, which is funded by the John Deere Foundation. The Deere Foundation also is funding the Leader in Me program at four elementary schools that works to turn students into leaders at their schools. Other programs like "career cruising" are being used by the district to prepare students for employment. Mr. Oberhaus said the programs were evidence the district was continuing to evolve meet new challenges. "We remain frugal with the dollars we are given and we do the best program we can to help make every child successful," he said.

The principle, technical details, and performance of the long path extinction spectrometer (LOPES), a new folded-path extinction cell with a spectral range from the mid-UV (200 nm) to the near infrared (1015 nm), is presented. Using nonabsorbing glass beads the measured extinction spectrum of LOPES was validated by Mie calculations and was compared with scattering coefficients in the visible measured by a three-color integrating nephelometer (TSI, mod. 3563). For absorbing aerosols (here soot and biomass burning aerosol with single-scattering albedos of about 0.2 and 0.74 at 550 nm), LOPES was combined with a TSI 3563 nephelometer to determine the wavelength-dependent absorption coefficients from the difference of the extinction and scattering coefficients. These absorption coefficients were found to agree with the measurements by two state-of-the-art absorption techniques, the multiangle absorption photometry (MAAP) and photoacoustic spectrometry (PAS), which measure the absorption coefficient at the single wavelength of 532 nm and 670 nm, respectively. Finally, based on a comprehensive analysis of the TSI 3563 nephelometer errors and their propagation into the determination of the absorption coefficients from the LOPES and nephelometer data, we discuss implications for improving in situmeasurements of the optical properties of atmospheric aerosols.

This Lantana Dress is on sale for $79.95 at Anthropologie, and I love it in all three patterns - even the brown, which I am usually not drawn to.
Soraya Dress - $39.95, Anthropologie (also available in red)
Midday Dress - $59.95, Anthropologie
I may have to go try this on, because it looks like Anthropologie has mastered the "Looks like a dress, feels like a sweatshirt" idea perfectly.
Chesire Dress - $119.95, Anthropologie
At first, I thought this was an adorable floral-print dress. But it turns out it's a cat print - even better! Now if they could just go ahead and discount this even more, that would be great.
@alo83 - Anthro has several LBDs on sale right now for under $100. Personally, I love the "Starry Night Dress," which is on sale for $79, and the "Empress Dress," on sale for $89.
Anthropologie has a lot of cute dresses on sale right now for under $50. Here are my favorites:
1. Glissade Dress ($39.95)
2. Exploded Houndstooth Shift ($49.95)
3. Split Dots Dress ($49.95)
4. Filmography Dress ($39.95)
I love this Marled Terry Moto Jacket, on sale right now at Anthro ($49, down from $88). It could be worn as shown on the weekends, or with black pants for work.
I am officially stalking these Bowtie Loafers on Poach It - because, for the right price, I need them in my life!
Winward Halter Dress - $49.95, Anthropologie (originally $148)
If you really want to go for it with the nautical red, white & blue theme this 4th of July, this Anthro dress is perfect!
Orissa Menagerie Dress - $49.95, Anthropologie
The straps of this dress have an elephant print - how cute is that?

South Africa's 19th Out in Africa LGBT Film Festival opens this weekend and there is certainly no shortage of films about women, quite an achievement to note given how often the LGBT community is depicted as male. Yet, within the context of Africa, the LGBT community is also frequently perceived (and depicted) as white and western.

My sister asked if the events of "The Labyrinth" are meant to be Sarah dreaming, or are they real? Although my primary reaction was that she shouldn't put that much thought into any children's movie (or any instance of David Bowie in tight pants), I'd like to take this opportunity to put so much thought into this children's movie, that it'll blow your mind.
So why is David Bowie kidnapping a child from an underage Jennifer Connelley?
In a time long long ago a sorcerer named Jareth fell in love with a girl named Sarah. Sarah's father and step-mother would not let her marry Jareth because they wanted her to keep her, as a servant, to care for their other child. In a fit of rage Jareth kidnapped this other child and spirited it away to the fairy world. In this new world Jareth built a palace for his Sarah. He turned the spoiled child into a goblin, and kept it to be a servant.
Many stories of the fairy world tell us that time moves differently there than in our world (Rip Van Winkle for one). In the time it took for Jareth to build his kingdom, which he may have thought was little more than a few years, Sarah grew old and died.
Overcome by grief and addled by a lifetime spent in a strange world filled with monsters, Jareth goes mad. He refuses to believe that he has lost his love. He searches the mortal world from his castle, looking for her.
Sarah is Hebrew name. So, it is common, and has been in use for thousands and thousands of years. It does not take long (for him) to find a dark haired girl named Sarah, who has a younger sibling, and who feels that she is treated unfairly by her step mother. In a fit of rage he kidnaps this other child and spirits it away to the fairy world. Perhaps this new Sarah dies in the quest to find the child, perhaps she wins her sibling back and flees.
Jareth searches the mortal world from his from his castle, looking for her. It does not take long to find a dark haired girl named Sarah…
This is how Jareth becomes the goblin king. Every goblin in the goblin city is a child Jareth has stolen, who was not recovered by a Sarah. (he told the current Sarah that Toby would become a goblin if she did not find him in time)
This is why he builds the maze. The magic bog, the junk yard of useless treasures, all tricks to slow Sarah down. Because if he can only have his Sarah for the time it takes for her to regain the stolen child, he will make it take as long as possible, keep her as long as possible.
This is why there exists in our world a book containing the story. Because it has happened before. So many times. At some point some lucky Sarah must have returned to our world to tell the story.
This is why when the most recent Sarah first meets Hoggle at the start of the labyrinth, and introduces herself; "I'm Sarah", Hoggle responds "That's what I figured."
Because of course she's Sarah.
They were all Sarah.

David Ryan Robinson's Fantasy Map of London
David Ryan Robinson doesn't want to be known just as the map guy. Which is kind of difficult when you spend six months of your life drawing a huge A2 (that's 23-and-a-half by 16-and-a-half inches) map of London.
It was fall 2011, and Robinson had just arrived in London. Like many young professionals, Robinson realised that the UK capital was the place to establish a firm career path. Robinson had always been into drawing, and he never got out of it. He graduated from university in June, taking a degree in art, and he knew that to advance in the creative industries he ought to move to London. "I'd only been a couple of times before," he points out, on day trips and vacations.

"As far as Firefly is concerned, that will always be unfinished business. Serenity was a Band-Aid on a suckling flesh wound. I think every day about the scenes that I'll never get to shoot and how badass they were. It's nice to know that people still care about Firefly but it's actual grief that I feel. It's not something you get over, it's just something you learn to live with." - Joss Whedon

It can do for you what it has done for smart retailers. Unfortunately for the executives at McDonald's insular corporate campus in Oak Brook, IL, my July/August 1997 column, "Why Brand Is Grand," appeared too late to save them from a marketing strategy that flopped with a thud large enough to make headlines--the 55-cent burger come-on. Had they read it they would have more fully appreciated that maintaining and enhancing a good name is to be protected at any price--that branding is a ...

Sipping coconut water by the beach. Gorging on fresh seafood. Drifting lazily down a mangrove forest river in a canoe with a singing guide. This is the life! Thanks to Cadbury Chocolate Philippines for treating us to this unforgettable trip. :)
What to do in Puerto Princesa, Palawan:
- Eat at Kalui restaurant. Best fresh tropical food of your life at an unbelievably low price.
- Skip the city tour. It's a garden zoo and bakery thing which is okay but really nothing compared to the nature tours.
- Skip the underground river cave. It's actually really beautiful outside the cave; see the first photo in this post. The cave itself is overrated. Unless you've never been inside a cave before, in which case, head to Sagada or Samar instead.
- The Sabang mangrove river tour is an absolute must-see. It's underrated, gorgeous, and otherworldly. But slather on the mosquito repellent or wear pants and long sleeves. You may spot a small jeweltone-striped snake on an overhanging branch if you're lucky. Score some fresh tamilok if you're not squeamish— it's delicious, like squid sashimi, except super soft. It's not really a worm, it's actually a kind of mollusk that lives inside dead mangrove trees.

2013 was a fabulous year for me. Many things ended either with happiness or sadness. One thing for sure, 2013 has definitely become stepping stone for my future.
I found out that I have been diagnosed with very rare eye condition which had not been cured yet. After suffering for more than one year, I finally tried to make peace with my condition. This is the turning point from my perspective about health, physically and mentally. I realized that I might have to live with this eye condition for the rest of my life. I believe that, God never put me in a situation that I can not handle. Thus, this eye condition is something that I can handle.
Another great moment back in 2013 was exactly happened at November 27th, 2013. It was the day that I was anounced as one of the candidate of LPDP scholarship. I never been felt happier in my life, knowing the fact that my dream for study abroad was approaching. I proved to myself that it was not just a dream, it was doable. Moreover, I was able to make my family dream become reality.
2013 is a year full of unexpected twist.
2013 is a year full of blessings.
I am extremely grateful for what I have achieved.
The path that I'm taken is slowly begin to clear.
And here we are entering 2014 with full of excitement.
I can't hardly wait to know what the future has to offer.
As Barney Stinson said, 2014 WILL BE LEGENDARY!
Between idealism and reality
Recently today, somebody told me that I'm an idealist person, way too idealist. This statement comes from person who already took part and experienced in bureaucracy life.
That statement is making me confuse and questioning myself. Really? Am I that kind of person? What's wrong if so?
I won't judge whether it's right or wrong. I have my own argument.
Another question popped up in my mind. Can the idealist condition occur in bureaucracy life? Why can and why can not?
Perhaps that certain situation will only occur in academic life.
God sent an angel, named Mom
Normally, I'm not the kind of person who actually quiet expressive. These things just pop up in my mind while I was about trying to sleep.
I want to write something about my-one-and-only mom. I write this because I feel terribly homesick right now. Even though I know she wouldn't read this, but I just want the world to know how precious is my mom.
Being a mom is the highest achievement in woman's world.
My mom is the most patience person I've ever met.
She never ever easily gets angry.
She's the most caring person in the world.
She is paying more attention to me than myself.
She couldn't stand if something's bother her family.
She is the frontliner and ready to protect us.
She is the one I could count on.
She teaches me how to treat people and how to value my life.
I know when she's tired, but she never showed us.
When I was home, she always welcomes me with a huge smile.
She always supports me for everything I've been through.
With her smile, I've managed to struggle in my current life.
I believe, there are uncountable reasons for why I should make her proud.
Mom is the greatest gift of my life.
She is my life, my soul.
She is the reason why I'm here.
She will always be mentioned in my pray everyday.
I love you mom, always will.
Today, my life just begin
Today, my life just begin
As a newly bachelor
Today, my life just begin
Considered as an adult not just a student who always depends and spoiled by everyone.
Today, my life just begin
I am fully responsible for what decisions I've made, for every path that I will take to shape my future
Today, my life just begin
It is the time to explore societies and the world, see what I can give to others after what others had given to me
Today, my life just begin
Holding a bachelor degree from reputable university doesn't make me forget about my contribution to Indonesia, to give something for another 20 competitors
Today, my life just begin
I am here to prove myself that I am not useless, I need to achieve something greater in my life
The road is unpredictable. I have my own vision and in order to achieve my own vision, I need to work harder than anybody else.
Success doesn't come in an easy way.
Today, my life just begin….
2011 is gonna be ended up in just one day. It feels great, eversince I have some precious moment which could lead into major change in myself, especially drive into maturity.
I have particular experience in this 2011 which is so inspiring like my internship in PGSP UNDP last June and having my boyfriend graduated from college on October. Those are just a few experience I've had through this year and yet there are still thousands experience worth to share during 2011.
I've learned, I've growth, I took risk, I have expanded my horizon, and I've become a 4th year grade in college.
They say, yesterday is a history.
Yapp, another history has been set up, and also enriched my life journey. There's no use for regret. What has come up, just be grateful with it.
I have absolutely no regret for what I've done in 2011. Through bad times, I am pretty sure that there's a morale story behind all of those bad things. I have loss a friend of mine in 2011 and that clearly told me to value this life much much more.
I am excited to see what's coming on 2012. Hope that I am gonna graduate this year, Aamiinn. And also get a new adventure, friends, experience, and better vision to the world.
Here I am, ready to make 2012 counted.

A private group called Muktangan has been pioneering a unique but effective teacher education curriculum for 500 teachers across seven Mumbai public schools since 2003. These teachers, many of whom are women, are incorporating more hands-on activities for young students, whose attendance and performance have increased as a result.
"They've designed a phenomenal teacher education curriculum," said Deval Sanghavi, co-founder of Dasra, the foundation. "Muktangan cares about the quality of education, and they've enabled women in the community to assume leadership positions where previously they had none."

Your cases are fine: just make sure that you use an environment and data similar to what you'll use in the real world (for example, if the data will be coming over the net from outside the firewall, test that way). In the past, I've observed that actual XML parsing generally accounts for under 1% of a batch application's running time (much less, if you're building a big object tree or doing any database access). That means that if you speed up the XML parsing by 10%, you might have sped up your application by less than 0.1% (or realistically, not at all, if the parser was already idling waiting for data over the network).

Sam Kutesa is a virulent supporter of Uganda's anti-gay laws, which set up sentences of up to life in prison for homosexuality.
President Barack Obama is to meet with Sam Kutesa, the new president of the United Nations General Assembly who was instrumental in bringing in new anti-gay laws in Uganda, today (24 September).

Bisexual dad Mike Szymanski offers a heartfelt insight into his 'nuclear family' life and having to explain to his parents why he's with a man and not a woman
Californian parent Mike Szymanski has for many years had to deal with many questions about his sexuality. In a society that likes to see things in a clear-cut, binary, black and white way, bisexuality can often confuse people, or even prompt suspicion.
For example, after his parents adjusted to the fact that a young Mike was attracted to men, they then had to understand why he also wanted to date some women.
'Well if you're bisexual why would you choose the wrong way?' his dad asked him once.
Author Rupert Smith talks about the joy of becoming a dad later in life, and why he has no time for gay people who think he and his partner have been assimilated by mainstream society

For a same-sex couple in Merseyside, adoption provided the answer to their dreams of motherhood
When gay male couples think about starting a family, the options most usually explored are adoption, surrogacy or an arrangement with a willing female friend. When a female couple or single woman wants to have children, then sperm donation or IVF treatment are the methods often utilised. However, not all women want – or are able – to give birth to their own kids, and for them, fostering and adoption are a more likely route to family life.

Man? Woman? Does it matter? Open until 17 August, GenderBlender explores and breaks down traditional gender archetypes
Do you remember the person who made out with Lady Gaga in the prison yard scene of her Telephone music video?
Was he a man? Was she a woman? Does it matter?
The sexual tension was palpable, the scene was an in-your-face reminder that the world doesn't fit into typical gender binaries, and the world is more colorful for it.
Often times transgender and intersex get looped into the 'gay and lesbian' moniker, pushing some misunderstood gender minorities further into a world of obscurity.

There was a time when few printers offered compatibility with Apple computers, but we live in a happier age. Most new printers and multifunction printers (MFPs) ship with OS X drivers, and many that don't will allow you to download Mac drivers during the installation process. Mac-connected printers support the vast majority of printing and MFP features that printing from a Windows machine offers. (Features not supported with Mac are usually detailed on the printer manufacturer's Web site.)
Printing to the same printer from similarly configured Mac and Windows machines tends to yield very similar print speeds. Nearly all printer makers provide support for Mac users. Thus, a list of the best printers for Macs largely mirrors an overall list of best printers.
One item worth mentioning is Bonjour, Apple's implementation of zero configuration networking, which is built into Mac OS X (and can be installed on other operating systems as well). Bonjour allows Mac users to quickly discover devices, including printers, on their networks. (Bonjour is what lets AirPrint identify compatible printers on a LAN.) You can set up a printer without Bonjour, but the protocol simplifies the task. Most new network printers are Bonjour compatible, though not all routers support Bonjour.
Macs are widely used by publishing professionals and graphic artists who rely on Adobe programs such as Adobe Illustrator to ensure the best output quality. Illustrator, as well as Photoshop and Acrobat, are optimized for Adobe's own PostScript printing language. You can print graphical material with text made in these programs from non-PostScript printers, but at a potential loss of quality (including occasional dropped elements). For any business that prints a lot of graphics, a printer with a PostScript driver (or at least, PostScript emulation) is a big plus. PostScript has been a staple of the graphic arts since its inclusion with the Apple LaserWriter launched the desktop publishing revolution in the mid-80s.
Below is our pick of the best printers for Mac available today. This roundup includes a generous selection of PostScript printers, as well as some non-PostScript models capable of high-quality graphics and/or photo output. (Near-dedicated photo printers, though they largely print from PhotoShop, have moved away from PostScript support.) But as many Mac users use their computers for tasks unrelated to graphic arts, we also present some top-notch general-purpose printers here. By and large, what makes a Mac-compatible printer great are the same things that let any printer stand out from the crowd: a winning combination of features, speed, and print quality at a competitive price.

Director and producer Tim Sullivan has finally delivered a finished cut of the horror anthology film Chillerama to the Image Entertainment following a 12-year gestation period.

Mohd Shafri, Helmi Zulhaidi and Ramle, F. S. H. (2009) A comparison of support vector machine and decision tree classifications using satellite data of Langkawi Island. Information Technology Journal, 8 (1). pp. 64-70. ISSN 1812-5638
This study investigates a new approach in image classification. Two classifiers were used to classify SPOT 5 satellite image; Decision Tree (DT) and Support Vector Machine (SVM). The Decision Tree rules were developed manually based on Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI) and Brightness Value (BV) variables. The classification using SVM method was implemented automatically by using four kernel types; linear, polynomial, radial basis function and sigmoid. The study indicates that the classification accuracy of SVM algorithm was better than DT algorithm. The overall accuracy of the SVM using four kernel types was above 73% and the overall accuracy of the DT method was 69%.
