I was watching an episode of The Wild Wild West recently and got to thinking about how to run it in a RPG. While I could just focus on the one show, I thought I'd look at other shows from the era as material for role-playing.
The Wild Wild West
James Bond as a Western. Oozes cool, even kind of dark, giving it some edge. Why in the world did Will Smith have to crap all over it by casting himself as James West? I didn't see the movie, so I don't know what else is offensive besides the image I have in mind of running from a giant mechanical spider. Nothing wrong with giant mechanical spider in the technoweird world of TWWW, but Robert Conrad would have climbed it, face punched a guard, planted explosives, and dived off as it blew up … which may very well have happened for all I know, not that I will ever know due to Will Smith's casting as James West.
I can't shake the idea of using Savage Worlds for the system. As much as I don't entirely get SW and as much as there are other systems that handle normals well at least at a character sheet level – WoD, Unisystem, etc. – that Solomon Kane wasn't that painful to run and that I actually ran it some gives me more of a feel for how to model the game.
Would it be a good campaign to run for more than two players? Maybe three, but I don't really see more than that to capture the same feel. That's not a bad thing. A lot of games aren't that great for just two players without rethinking how to run.
While I'm rarely a fan of actually playing characters from source material, there is the important question of whether to play characters just like James West and Artemus Gordon or let players create different archetypes (probably two characters like Jim rather than more characters like Arty).
It has been ages since I've watched Bewitched. The set up for the show might suck for RPing, but the world might suck less. There were gatherings of witches and warlocks …
… nah, it would still be dumb. The idea of witches in the modern world is already covered by Witchcraft, Mage, and other RPGs, so there's no real point to drawing from Bewitched.
Get Smart
I love Get Smart. I'd even be willing to watch the movie, which I've heard good things about, overcoming my strong reluctance to waste time and money on movies.
However, it's a terrible RPG world. While (intentional) comedy is possible in role-playing (unintentional is the norm for my groups), I deplore the lack of subtlety it routinely has in the RPG industry, such as Paranoia. Then, I don't think people realize that Maxwell Smart is not just a buffoon but a combination of Bond and buffoon. The serious aspects help keep it from dissolving entirely into juvenile humor.
Far better, though my recollection of the show is so much worse that I can't be sure, is probably Man From U.N.C.L.E. for the spy genre. Of course, James Bond already exists and there are plenty of RPGs based around spies, so "why bother?" looking for inspiration from a TV show is a cogent question.
Perry Mason
Very formulaic. But, why not RPing normal detective work (taking the detective work aspects from this courtroom show)? Pure detective is not something I recall doing. It's almost always supernatural detective or investigation activities in miscellaneous genres (Vampire, L5R, etc.).
Even the courtroom focus of the show provides a hook that other games wouldn't have. I am just very fearful that playing this repeatedly would be incredibly redundant. Not like, say, doing a Sherlock Holmes style campaign might be, even if ACD's Sherlock Holmes stories tend to fall into only a few categories. Though, how do you play Sherlock Holmes without Sherlock Holmes as the star?
I don't know that system should matter much with such a game, though any system that makes skill use or perception rolls lame would be a bad choice.
Hogan's Heroes
I have often thought about how to do a Hogan's Heroes game. Not only do I love the show – some of the best comfort TV ever, but the ensemble cast and WWII setting both scream role-playing.
Of course, the obvious issue is being in a POW Camp and that the threat of being discovered is not a credible threat when gaming since it destroys the genre. I suppose that there could be some sort of penalty involved in the threat of discovery that never results in true discovery – Fate intervenes but you lose XP or bad things (TM) happen or whatever. Or, you can even come up with a victory point system where "discovery" causes a massive loss in VPs to track reduced XP/rewards or sucky stuff happening (e.g. successful mission -> sleep with secretary, "discovered" -> secretary is too "busy" covering up your mistakes).
The system here should be easy and heavily skill-based.
I had never heard of this show until today. It ran four seasons. The premise is okay. I don't care anything about it, even after reading a bit. I just was amazed that I ran across this while looking for lists of shows from the 60's as it's actually the sort of show I could have seen watching back in the day – guess it wasn't syndicated like the 50's and 60's shows that predated my birth that I did watch.
Anyway, if anyone is wondering about the likes of [insert Western here], Star Trek, The Saint, The Avengers, [insert cartoon here], et al, the point was to take a look at shows I watched enough to remember and that weren't obvious choices that people had already done.
Certainly, the Western genre, without weirdness, is a rare enough choice for people to play, and I did watch a variety of Westerns when I was young, if not all from the 60's. But, The Wild Wild West is such a good variant. The Adventures of Brisco County, Jr. might be another take on variant Western that could have some legs. Sure, there's Deadlands that supposedly people play though I only recall witnessing people playing the CCG, but the supernatural elements are a different flavor.
For cartoons, none of the 60's ones really grabbed me as a world I'd choose. I'd expect there to be more such offerings from the 70's and onwards. I don't remember much of Blackstar – I wonder how many people remember it at all, I only mention it because I do – Thundarr's world would be far better for gaming.
One thing about TV shows is that they are very possibly better constructed for campaigns then movies/books are. Ironic? I don't tend to think of episodic play when I think of campaign play, so why episodic source material rather than serial material?
Overwhelmingly, the nature of books and movies having an ending, a completed narrative, is what makes them problematic. While there are series of books and movies, I tend to think of an entire book series as the source material where the episodic nature of so many TV shows makes them more consistent whatever time period you take such that sampling the show covers the source material. Or, looking at it another way, a book/movie is about what happens, while a TV show is about the premise. Many a RPG campaign wants to retain the basic premise rather than evolve a story far beyond the initial premise. Even a five-year, designed campaign like Heroes of Rokugan may see very little change in the nature of one's character. Though, not every TV show is alike, as we can see with a five-year, designed story in Babylon 5 that was very much about what happened when looked at in its entirety and not just "we are diplomats from various races on a space station".

Could our traditional culture be one of the reasons why many Ghanaians never think of Facebook as the perfect partner to collaborate with Ghana to enable our nation compile a new voters register and set up a new national ID system?
Alas, no matter which part of the country one travels to, traditional Ghanaian culture stifles personal initiative in young people, and drowns out the sense of curiosity in most young children.
Sadly, bold and talkative children fond of asking questions - treasured elsewhere for being precocious - are often browbeaten, until they are cowed into submission, in Ghana: and invariably end up becoming submissive individuals in adulthood. It is not therefore surprising that this not a society in which creative thinkers abound - and from which precious few innovations emerge.
The aforementioned societal drawbacks, naturally don't not make for a nation in which people speak their minds boldly and freely - and take a principled stand on issues of national concern without fear or favour. Perhaps it also a factor in why ours is a nation in which there is a dearth of imaginative people - and in which people seldom think creatively when faced with a challenge.
Unfortunately, it has also led to a herd mentality, amongst most Ghanaians - something that is reflected in the way so many Ghanaians stick to the political parties they normally support, no matter how corrupt and clueless their leaders are.
Otherwise why would Ghanaians not immediately cotton on to the fact that it is in their own individual self-interest, and in the national interest, that Dr. Paa Kwesi Nduom - the only significant political leader in Ghana who is committed to the public publication of assets by politicians and their spouses before elections - becomes Ghana's President, because we have reached a critical juncture in our history when we need to elect a truly transformational leader who knows how to create jobs and wealth: to turn Ghana into a prosperous nation?
And talking about job creation and wealth creation, is it any wonder that ours is a nation in which so many copycat businesses sprout up across the country once a particular business venture becomes a roaring success? Ghana is a global superpower in the art and science of copycat pop-ups.
And people wonder why so many SMEs in Ghana fail to survive their initial years. Invariably no proper planning is done by their promoters - who often fail to carry out feasibility studies and seldom have bankable business plans. It is all done on a wing and a mega-church-prayer.
It takes the creativity of the Paa Kwesi Nduoms in our midst to create thriving conglomerates, consisting of close to 50 companies operating successfully in different sectors of the national economy, and overseas, in such a conformist society.
The question is: In light of all the above, should we be surprised that it seems so hard for many in Ghana to do the lateral thinking needed, to see how Facebook and Blockchain Technologies Incorporated, could work with the National Identification Authority (NIA), the Electoral Commission of Ghana (EC), and all the political parties in our country, to create a cutting-edge 21st century national identification system, and compile a fraud-proof electoral register for our nation?
It has probably never even occurred to Facebook itself before that it could develop a new business model for collaborating with nations like Ghana, to create national digital ecosystems that make it possible for citizens to interact directly with each other (either as individuals or in community groupings), and with state agencies and entities, in real time - and vice versa.
And with blockchain technology all that would be fraud-free and tamper-proof. Facebook's artificial intelligence facial recognition software would underpin both the national ID system (containing individuals'digital bio-data-files) and the database of the EC voters register. Facebook would bear the cost of the whole package - in exchange for access to the relevant data it agrees in advance with Ghana that it can leverage, for its social media platform.
Actually, this is not as whacky an idea as it sounds. That is why this blog urges our nation's political parties and the EC to give it a thought. No other public private partnership (PPP) could deliver such complex, comprehensive and secure systems within the timeframe-window available to the EC before polling day.
After all, Facebook handles hundreds of millions of "transactions" daily, does it not - so creating a database for the EC and NIA, containing individual digital ID bio-data-files for a mere 30 million citizens of the Republic of Ghana, using its artificial intelligence facial recognition software, won't be a problem for the social media behemoth.
Facebook has the capability and technology that Ghana can leverage, to create a national ID system and compile a new voters register fit for the digital age, which will be ready in time for the November presidential and parliamentary elections.

Could Facebook Not Collaborate With Ghana To Create A New National ID System And Compile A New Voters Register?

In Qlikview Business Intelligence development cost lesser compared to Cognos, BO,SAP BW.
Why QlikView? Why not other tools?achal_asb Dec 21, 2010 9:47 AM (in response to s j)
but does QV provides the features as by BO?
Sp. variable creation and reusing it as a novice to QV I don't find so far.

one more thing is that you can use BO Universe in Qlikview.

Hi guys,
I think allways the best answer is: QlikView does not use any cubes!!!! You load all original tables and design all charts you ever want. With the feature Set analysis you get really all problems solved.
We have lots of customers they tell use, with Cognos they will not get solved all requests and change now to QlikView!
I work for 6 years with QlikView every day and until now I solved every customer requests, and really, they were often very difficult!

Yes! I HATE data cubes. I can't understand how that ever became a de facto standard for data reporting. I can't understand how people can ask of QlikView, "Does it support data cubes?" as if this were a desirable feature instead of a horrible, ugly solution that we should all be trying desparately to avoid.
Sorry, had to vent. They probably have their place. I've just never, ever seen that place. :)
AW:Re: Why QlikView? Why not other tools?Sunil Panda Dec 22, 2010 7:48 AM (in response to John Witherspoon )
Hi Everbody,
1> Qlikview Does have the capability to hold all the data in Memory(Primary).
So it is Other wise known as In Memory Analysis Tool.
2> It Has the concept called AQL. Which is Panted by Qliktech.That's differentiate Qlikview from Other Tools.
That is basing on the same name it can create associativity which is i think not supported by other tools.
3> It has also good satisfication rate with customer point of view.
4> It take less time to complete a project as it is not using OLAP Cubes which takes a lot time when built up from RAW.
5> It's market growth rate astonishingly increasing day by day. So it's a defiite emerging technology as compare to other tools.
Any other comments on this POST is highly appreciated.

i am recently is given to get my hands dirty with Cognos Planning. this feature is not there in Qlikview. from that perspective, you can't compare QV and Cognos as a whole. Cognos has some features (apart from reporting and analysis) which are not in QV. Otherwise, when i started working in cognos, i felt like: how ridicuolus approach it takes to solve some simple issues (as compared to QV)! even i am not really enjoying Cognos. yes the CUBES (D-List, D-Cubes) are so pathetic for me. i am dying to give a see off to cognos. may be the things have their places in cognos(i have a big doubt), but working in QV is much easier and yes, (as mentioned earlier by friends) - with QV we can meet almost every requirement of the customer, whereas in cognos there is a big list of 'Not Possible'.
Regards, tresesco
Re: Why QlikView? Why not other tools?Sebastian Pereira Sep 2, 2012 11:37 AM (in response to Tresesco B )
Tresesco, which functions in cognos are not available on qlikview?
If you are talking about free reports in pdf, yes, in QV you must use licenses or Publsher reporter, but is available!!
In addition of all QV colleages, don't forget about the data proccessing capabilities in QV. You can make a huge datawarehouse with a very fast proccessing time. Using incremental load or proccess, saving temp files with compressing rate of 10:1, create alternal historical data....
Also, the interface tools (Set Analysis, Alternate States, Section access that filter objects, sheets, expressions or data, Collaborate work, Mobile clients......)
Re: Why QlikView? Why not other tools?whiteline _ Sep 2, 2012 2:12 PM (in response to At titude )
I think that are both strengths and weaknesses:
Relational data in document & 'virtual cubes' for each chart successfully complement each other.
Close integration of ETL and Visual layer.
Could be developed, adopted & supported by one (not unique) person.
Despite that scalability and extensibility, ability to handle enterprise level solutions.
Almost the only one BI tool that could be used easily at home (standalone and free).
Re: Why QlikView? Why not other tools?Hirish V Jan 22, 2016 1:03 AM (in response to At titude )
Qlikview maintains all the data associations, where as Traditional BI solutions don't maintain data associations.
Qlikview User driven :
- Follows the user
- All data, always visible
- Minutes to change
- Insight driven
Other BI tools are IT driven :
- Linear, pre-defined thinking
- Insights missed in hidden data
- Months to change
- Data-centric

ARTICLE: Christian Jacobs Dishes on the Gerard Way-Directed 'The Aquabats! Super Show!'
How did Christian sign Gerard up to step behind the camera for the installment, which is called "Anti-Bats!" and airs on June 29? "We hit it off working together on Yo Gabba Gabba's Super Christmas Special last year and kept in touch after that," Christian explained. "I wanted to figure out a way to work together again, and thought maybe Gerard would be into The Aquabats! Super Show! because it is so retro-tastic and silly. He was into it and it all worked out."
He described Gerard's directorial style as "Just really collaborative and fun! It was like making a silly movie with your pals in the backyard. It really feels like we're 11-year-olds shooting a movie on VHS. Jason Devilliers, our director, and I are like big kids and Gerard fit in with us like a brother from another mother.
"Gerard is very objective and smart," he continued. "He knows how to work subtleties into over-the-top campy melodrama. He's really great at details and very aware of story. [It was] super fun working with him."
Directing The Aquabats! Super Show! isn't like helming any other show. It's what happens when you put action, comedy, camp and music into a blender and then let the contents out on TV. Should any My Chemical Romance fans tune into the program to watch Gerard's episode, Christian told us they're in for "Power Rangers meets Devo meets The Banana Splits meets Batman meets Johnny Sokko meets Ark 2 meets Flight of the Conchords? Ha! You'll just have to watch it!"
Christian also let us in on what "Anti-Bats" is all about, and what fans can look forward to when it airs next month. "It follows two competing bands seeking revenge on The Aquabats, who unite with evil Silver Skull and become the Anti-bats," he said. "Ricky [Fitness, played by Richard Falomir] abandons The Aquabats for newfound love, and must choose between his new girlfriend and saving his friends as the mighty Anti-bats close in."
"To me, it's the little goofy things in the episode that make me really laugh. Those subtle little human moments mixed into an episode that is so over the top," he continued. "There's a death metal band that gets turned into super-villains by a mystical man with a sliver skull helmet doing a very purposefully bad Bane impression. There's homages to Mad Max, The Road Warrior, Clash of the Titans, Heartbeeps, Batman, Superman 2, The Monkees, Repo Man...so basically, it's just an average episode of the show!"
And the musician-television producer-voice actor, who cites Devo's Mark Mothersbaugh as an inspiration and loves everything from the 60's western adventure series The Wild Wild West to Sesame Street, added that "Anti-Bats" was just as fun to make as it will be for you to watch. "One of my favorite memories was after a very stressful contentious day shooting in the freezing cold mud all day long, on the west side of Utah Lake, driving back to downtown Salt Lake City in search for a place to eat," he told us. "It was already like 9 PM and we'd been up since 4 AM.
"Gerard, Mikey [Way] and I were so tired -and then we saw a Del Taco! We were all exhausted and I had my magic marker moustache on, et cetera. and we went in and had a very fine meal at a very fine classic Mexican-American eatery. People were staring at us like we had just stepped out of a flying saucer. It was so rad!"

Mountain biking at Cebu Island Philippines
Biking or mountain biking in the Philippines is an outdoor fun adventure. If you leave the big city entering the mountain area you will find plenty of incredible dirt tracks. Just follow the small mountain trails which are connecting the small villages.
Mountain biking here at Cebu Island is very common. Bikers will leave the City early in the morning to catch up the sunrise over the Tops at Cebu and of course to avoid the mid day sun. Once entered the mountain region the air is getting more fresh and the polluted city is left behind.
(Panorama stitched together out of 3 shots by Klaus Biesel)
I am not that kind of sporty guy, so I was looking for a place which is not that far away from Cebu City but remote enough to have some fun while biking together with friends.
The Q-Park in Compostella right after you left Liloan is such a bikers paradise. The small dirt tracks which are scattered all over the park brought the fun we were looking for. The view at the Top of the Hills is worth biking all the way up ( the last stairs we had to walk).
The Virgin Mary Sculpture in the center of the Park was always a good orientation to find our way around.
We met a lot of people who had just the same idea and hikers as well. Anyway Hikers and Bikers are welcome in the Sculpture garden Pension in Liloan, which is not far away. So we decided to stay there again. Seems I am getting addicted to their self made fruit wines LOL.
The next day we tried to discover the other trails in the Q-Park region, but as it looks like we have to come back again. 2 Days were simply not enough and since there is some more fruit wine left in the Sculpture garden ………..to be continued continuously 🙂

A:The Skechers GO STEP Shore boat shoe is made from a leather-textured fabric, customers advise these can be machine washed - I recommend washing on the gentle cycle cold, placing both shoes in a laundry bag or pillowcase, and air dry only.

Technorati has a new look today. I like it--it does a much better job of putting most of the things I need on one page.
Old-school media is working hard to interest my generation of music freaks--first NPR gets hip, and now The New York Times reports on Jens Lekman! (Might ask for a free-registation login tomorrow or so; see BugMeNot for a bypass.) I do think Kelefa Sanneh got it right, whoever s/he is: "his witty, self-pitying songs aren't quite as glum as they might first seem" is a pretty good way to cover Jens' odd manner, appeal, and music. But in case anybody thought the NYT was going to get things right, they blow their cover by claiming that alt-country is dead or dying; apparently nobody told them about Neko Case or Golden Smog--which is funny, because they're also hosting five GS tracks as part of the article.
There's a webcomic called XKCD that I've found recently--since it makes fun of computational linguists and mentions Freezepop and Guitar Hero today, I hereby dub them Awesome. Like Freezepop. (But surely Freezepop isn't really on Guitar Hero?)
Freezepop - Shark Attack (from YSI)

We Don't Need No Education....
I was recently shocked to here that my flatmates had never heard of chocolate crunch before. We often had it for desert in my school and my Nan still makes it these days. It is AMAZING- the perfect sweet stodgy treat to cheer you up on a miserable day. I figured that every school served it but maybe it was only my school! For those unlucky souls who have never had the good fortune to try it and therefore don't know what Chocolate Crunch is- It's basically just like a brownie but instead of being gooey its crunchy all the way through and is topped with caster sugar and served with a custard of your liking (we always had pink or yellow!). You can eat it without custard- If you're weird enough to not like custard that is...
You Will Need:
8oz Plain Flour
4 oz of Butter
3oz Sugar
3oz Cocoa
- Preheat oven to 180 degrees/ Gas Mark 4
- Mix the flour, sugar and cocoa together
- Melt the butter and add it to the mixture
- Place in oven for 20-30 minutes. Make sure its cooked through!
It's really important that you cut the crunch while it's hot, otherwise you'll end up smashing it to pieces trying to but it when its cool! Once cut, let it cool and sprinkle with caster sugar. Eat as you wish!
Now do you see what I mean?! How have you never tried this before?! It's so simple and yummy- I order you to go and make some at once!
Cheers M'dears,

The 10th Birthday Party Sleepover was Friday night. It was pretty successfully. This is a Cub Scout Den that has been together for meetings and activities for years, so the group dynamics are pretty well established.
Seven boys came, but two could only stay for the evening, then go home. Memorial Day long weekend has family plans.
They played so hard. Everyone asked me what activities I was planning, but Joseph said they didn't get enough time to just play. At the Den Meetings, all the activities are planned and organized. So at the party, I just planned on letting them play. They had to be called to dinner many times, and came reluctantly. It was Round Table Pizza, which is generally a favorite.
A mom and a grandma stayed for dinner. Each guest was invited to bring a chaperone, in case parents wanted to become familiar with the house before leaving their child overnight, or in case they wanted to drop off a sibling and have a quiet evening alone.
When it started to get darkish, we went inside for cake and presents and goody bags. The presents included two Nerf shooters, and with the shooters Joe already has, there were enough shooters that everyone could have a shooter, so there was war. Yelling, screaming, running from room to room, and it went on and on and on. At 10:30 or so I got them to lay out the sleeping bags and I put in a Goosebumps DVD about a haunted house. I made popcorn. They were settling down. Then Dave put on a Halloween mask and shroud and wandered around the back yard in the dark. They saw him through the glass door and screamed like girls!
G kept saying "This is the best seep over ever!"
They tried to stay up as late as possible. Whenever someone fell asleep, they bugged him. Joe said B snored, so they shot him in the neck with Nerf bullets until he stopped, then he started right back up again. When G fell asleep, they took turns standing on him and doing the Macarena. He didn't wake up.
When I got up at 5:00, three boys were asleep sitting on the couch, never willing to fall asleep at all but unable to stay awake. We had pancakes and sausage with orange juice for breakfast. They were an interesting bunch to watch. R had speared a whole pancake on his fork and was eating it like a cave man. I said "R, would your mom let you eat like that?" (R and Joseph were in playgroup together when they were 2 yrs old, they know their moms know each other.) R said "Yes...........but she wouldn't like it." N would wipe his mouth all over the back of his hand, and then wipe his hand all over his clothes. I asked: "N, do you need a napkin?" "No." He did the wiping thing again and I said "N, you really should have a napkin." So he got one. He still wiped his mouth all over his hand but used the napkin to clean his hand.
B very methodically picked every stray crumb from his placemat and discreetly put it on the floor.
G cut his pancakes into teen tiny bits with his fork, then picked each on up with his fingers to eat it and wiped his fingers on his pants. He was sitting on the sofa later, picking his nose, and I said "G, do you need a Kleenex?"
"No." but he was looking at a booker in his fingers. So I asked "Are you sure you don't need a Kleenex?"
"I'm sure." I don't know if the booger eventually went on his pants or on my couch. I don't want to know.
It was sad when the first parent came at 10:00 for pick up.

text: Today's draw is all about excellence in craftsmanship, my friends. Seriously. I could sit here and write the word "CRAFTSMANSHIP" fifteen hundred times and I STILL don't think I'd be able to overstate the point too much. Do what you do today, and do it well. Do what you're best at. Focus on that. The card of the day is the frost giant Hrimthurs, a master builder tricked out of payment by the Aesir (but the payment he was asking for was out of bounds to begin with, so he set himself up to get tricked in the first place—an apt instructive on setting proper payment boundaries if you're an artist, and on getting at least half up front). The rune today is Fehu, which speaks at least in part of fine craftsmanship and wealth. The charms are The Cloud (reversed, so it's indicative of fluffy shapes that inspire on a beautiful breezy day), The Artist's Palette, and The Scissors. All of these are the artist's tools, so use them today, and use them well. Do the best of you today, Boo.

Two years ago my Mom used 5mg of Aricept for one month, she became almost a total zombie taking this medicine. Would not get out of bed, her mind was a lot worse than before she started taking it. A month ago she was put on 10mg of Aricept and after two doses was taken to the hospital, she was totally out of control and knew nothing of what was going on. It is not for everyone.

The chicken is at his house. His wife and the rest of the supplies are at her house.
At first I reluctantly said okay, I'd be ready... but I have a *ton* of stuff to do for myself around here, and she has a cat. So I firmed up my backbone, called back, and said "she doesn't live that far away... could you please just get me when it's time to go to the dinner."
Dad was evasive, saying we'd see what happens when she calls... so I'm not sure I got through to him... but we'll see.
As a friend once said to me:
"Bad planning on your part does not make for an emergency on my part."I need to take that more to heart, so that all of my stuff doesn't end up "emergency" due to spending too much time on other people's stuff, stressing me the heck out. (Like when dad invited me for boxing day dinner, and I ended up cooking half of it, and sitting around while the chicken roasted... when I had thought I'd have the afternoon for getting my own stuff done.)
After all, it's not my fault the chicken is at the wrong house... or that dad won't take responsibility for making the potluck item for his own event.

text: Hello, glad to be a new member to this forum. From the looks of it, there appears to be a great deal of knowledge here. My wife and I are fairly new to this geographical location, only having lived here now since 2012. What we now know for certain is that it gets ridiculously cold during the winter! Having never raised chickens, we nonetheless decided upon and acquired 15 Orpington Chicks (all hens) to raise as layers. We've kept them inside in a small pen, near a wood stove, and a heat lamp, and are happy and healthy. We gave four of them away, and have 11 left. Four more pullets will be given away in the next couple of weeks, leaving us seven to raise. They are now 7 weeks old and ready to move into a coop, which is of my own design. I am putting the final touches on it now, but I have some concerns about keeping them warm in their coop. I took measures to insulate the nesting box and a couple of walls and floor. Outside temps at night here recently have dropped as low as -30 to -40F. I bought an electric radiant panel heater for inside the coop, and I hope some of you may have some suggestions on how I should install it, and transitioning my pullets from inside into the coop? The coop is made primarily of 1/2" plywood, two feet above ground (4X4 legs) and approximately 4'(W)X6'(L)X4'(H), with a long divided nesting box (x4) extended out from one side. The 4' long nesting box can be removed for entry into and cleaning the coop. I can attach a pic, once I figure out how to. Any suggestions would be appreciated. There's not much info out there on caring for and raising chickens in a sub-arctic climate.

Breaking it Down: Understanding Medical Care for Russian Speaking Patients
Breaking it Down: Understanding Medical Care for Russian Speaking Patients
A Russian speaking patient is different from all other patients in the world. This Patient remembers the "Highest Standard Soviet Medicine (where the healthiest patients lived)"; at the same time the patient is dissatisfied with the present service quality and has lost trust in medical personnel. This patient is extremely demanding, looking for the best value offer, for the most comfortable and convenient conditions, and has many good opportunities for choice, making the Russian speaking medical tourism market among the most competitive markets in the world to penetrate.

Manna is something to eat. Or it was, at one time, as we are informed through various pieces of literature.
Manna also is a symbol.
And like other food symbols, it has meaning. Think 'turkey' as an American and you're thinking happy family around the dinner table, and tradition. Which may or may not be true.
In today's world, I see manna. Or I see things that resonate within the same circle of symbolism.
I see manna today in the idea of The White House Vegetable Garden.
I believe it is, for many people, manna.
Is manna real?

The best and the sure way to start a new year is having all the tools you will need to implement your new year's resolutions, as well as the tools that you will need for any unplanned activities and circumstances. As an android user, it is essential to have all your apps early in the year. We have, therefore, curated a list of the best Android Apps you will need this year and the following years.
Note that these apps are suitable for use in different categories of your life.
- Google Drive Suite
This app is free with in-app purchase. As one of the best medical device consultants California, don't you appreciate the ingenuity of cloud storage by Google? You get 15GB space freely and permanently in your name when you sign up. But, you can always buy more space if you wish. However, the feature that makes Google Drive special, especially the Google Drive Suite is that it has a suite of all android apps attached to it.
The Google Drive Suite gives you access to Google Docs, Google Slides, Gmail, Google Sheets, Google Photos, Google Keep, and Google Calendar. This means that you have all your tools for productivity, keeping notes, preparing reports, and presentations, among others, and you have more than enough space. Some of these features allow for love collaborations, deep file sharing, and compatibility with the Microsoft Office documents.
- 1Weather
The weather has been an ice-breaker for centuries, but if you are looking to please that stranger, you may want to have an app that gives the most accurate weather forecasts – 1Weather.
As one of the best weather apps out there, it is easy to use, and it has a simple paginated design which shows you the current weather, plus a forecast of the next 12 weeks! It also comes with a radar plus other fun weather stats. It also comes with lightly customized widgets, and you will get updates and notifications in case of severe weather and approaching storms.
What's more, this app has a minimum design which shows you just the weather and if you want, fun facts. The difference between the free and the app you have to purchase is that the free one comes with ads.
- ExpressVPN
This app is perfect for every android user unless you are the most paranoid person known and you never use Free public WiFi. ExpressVPN will keep your device safe when using the free Wi-Fi in public. This is because EcpressVPN is one of the solid and highly secure brands in the virtual private network industry.
You will also like how fast it is. The reason why this app is regarded the most secure app is that it boasts an SSL-secured network with 256-bit encryption and that isn't all; it also gives you access to unlimited bandwidth and lightning fast speeds. It has servers in over 100 locations worldwide meaning that there is one near you for the best experience.
- Google Assistant
This free app is one of the most powerful android apps available for you. It works effortlessly on most Android devices, and you just need to download it. This app is, as the name infers, your simple personal assistant that does whatever you want it to do. It supports multiple commands, and you can use to find information on population control, and you can use it to set your alarm, schedule meetings, and it can solve simple math problems too.
You can extend its functionality using apps like Google, Home, and Chromecast.
- LastPass Password Manager
For as little as $12 annually, you can get this app which will help save all your credentials safely and securely. You can also use it as a password generator to generate near-impossible passwords for your accounts. Everything in the app is under the control of the master password. You can also get a LastPass Authenticator for an extra layer of security.
Note these are five apps, there are so many other Android for you out there!

homesick! Autumn reminds me of being back home. Home being West Virginia/Virginia. I spent my childhood in both states (we lived on the state line). And there's nothing quite like the mountains being covered in red, orange, and yellow leaves this time of year. Our family had a tradition of having a picnic back in the woods every fall. I really miss that.
We went to the Riverwalk today because we'd heard the colors were awesome right now. We were disappointed to say the least. There were no reds, very little orange. Everything was still green with the changing leaves appearing yellow or brown. Hmph.
But...I will say just being out there was still wonderful. I took some amazing pictures. At least, I think they're amazing, and I had a great time taking them. (These pics were taken in Kansas. for the record)
I'll share a few here if you haven't already seen them on facebook. :)

HERC was not born in the boondocks but he was raised there. Or rather he spent all of his Summers growing up in a small town in Texas and, every other Summer, a small town in Missouri, near the borders of Oklahoma and Arkansas. His parents and many of his Aunts, Uncles and cousins still reside in the boondocks. This song is not an autobiographical song for HERC but it could very well have been.
The song below is a story that could only happen in the boondocks. As one unromantic city-dweller commented upon hearing it: "Why didn't she just use her dang GPS?"
Just a reminder that these are HERC's Songs of Summer and they are in random order - not a countdown or ranking. Your Songs Of Summer may vary. Let HERC know what they are in the Comments.

MOSCOW, October 24. /TASS/. Air controller of Moscow's Vnukovo airport Alexander Kruglov, detained on suspicion of his involvement in the Falcon jet carsh that killed Total CEO Cristophe de Margerie, on Friday did not admit his fault.
"I'm not guilty. I accomplished my duty in full," Kruglov said, adding that he would not disappear and not put pressure on witnesses.
He was on duty on the day when the Falcon jet crashed. The investigators demand Kruglov should be taken into custody till December 21. The airport's administration requested to release him on bail of $95,580.
One of the lawyers said that earlier Kruglov had helped avert another air crash. "He timely saw the engine fire of a passenger jet and did not allow the take-off. Thus, he saved lives of more than 200 people," the lawyer said.
During the take-off at Vnukovo on Monday, October 20, at 11:57pm local time, the four-seat Dassault Falcon business jet, en route to Paris, collided with a snowplow, caught fire and fell onto the runway. Among the four people killed in the crash were two pilots, a flight attendant and French oil giant Total CEO Christophe de Margerie. All those killed were French nationals.
On Thursday, October 23, snowplow operator Vladimir Martynenko was arrested. The chief engineer of the airport's service, Vladimir Ledenev, who was in charge of snow-clearing works, was detained. Flights director Roman Dunayev and trainee air traffic controller Svetlana Krivsun were also detained.
The field stage of the Falcon jet crash investigation was completed on Thursday. A chief investigator with the Interstate Aviation Committee reported the results of the field stage.
The crew of the French Falcon jet that crashed in Moscow's Vnukovo airport on Monday night noticed the snowplow just 14 seconds before takeoff.
A trainee air traffic controller supervised by instructor was guiding Falcon at Vnukovo before crash. All systems of Falcon jet were properly functioning until crash.
The collision of the snowplow and Falcon jet occurred on an intersection of runway strips. The runway strip was free when takeoff authorization was given. Falcon's speed was about 250 km/h when it crashed with the snowplow.
All fragments of the jet have been collected from the crash site. A thorough examination of the fuselage, collected fragments and fuel is still to be conducted in the future.

Mall Emo?
Okay. So before you start reading this thread, I'm going to leave a disclaimer first.
These are all out of my knowledge about Emo. If you have further questions, you can send me a message and I will get back to you with clarification in regards to certain things you might have in mind.
Emo is such a lovely subgenre of hardcore and I think giving it justice is appropriate. Credits to Rites of Spring, Embrace and other Revolution Summer bands that paved the way.
The words I used in this thread are out of my years of researching and understanding about the music of Emo.
In no way I am trying to shame anyone with their current beliefs. But I do hope you'll be able to absorb the bits of knowledge I shared in this thread.
I encourage everyone to educate yourselves. I am not saying I know everything but I want to share the little things I know about Emo and some of its Subs.
We are all aware about that cringe-worthy term "Emo".
Whenever we hear the word "Emo" we often think of one sided hair, eyeliners, cuts in the wrist and all those stuff that we thought was "essential" for being "emo".
Well, those stereotypes about what emo is isn't real. Those stuff could fall in the "Mall Emo" category.
some of you might ask me "Marckus, what is Mall Emo"?
Let's ask Urban Dictionary.
Most of you might toast me for this, but proper education and identification of which is which could really help out in knowing what's right and what's not.
Mall Emo is a form of insult used upon kids who thinks they are listening to Emo bands presented to them by the media. In fact, the mid-2000s "Emo" wave was such a huge "marketing" success that up to this day, tons of kids are misled.
Examples of Mall Emo bands are My Chemical Romance, Paramore, Fall Out Boy, Panic! At the Disco, Black Veil Brides and tons more Pop Punk bands tagged as Emo by the mainstream.
- So, what's Emo? what are the bands I should listen to if I want to know what Emo really is? Who started Emo? What are the album/songs I should listen to that are Emo?
-You can go here to learn more about Emo.
- So every band I listened to when back then are not Emo?
- Well, that depends. Silverstein is considere Emo by the Emo council but Blessthefall is not. What I'll tell you is to do your reseach so you could discover it on your own.
- This is stupid. Sobrang purist naman
- I was once as misled as you. I also wore tight pants, tight shirts and my hair was also one-sided. May kulay pa nga noon yung bangs ko. I am not being a purist/elitist. I respect the beliefs of others. It's just that when I discovered what Emo really is, para akong na-bigyan ng bagong buhay. That's why I would like to share it with everyone here. Plus, mas heartfelt yung songs ng Seatia compared sa songs ng Alesana and if you dig Alesana, I bet you'll dig Saetia and other similar sounding bands as well.
- Mali ka naman eh, what do you know about Skramz?
- I'm still learning. Like what I said above, I only have a few things I can share but those stuff are the result of my personal research. I can provide sources and references if you want.
- Bakit sabi sa Wikipedia Emo and My Chemical Romance at The Used?
- Wikipedia is not accurate. It can be edited by anyone. Let's use accurate sources from people who are knowledgeable about a certain topic. The Internet could also mislead us in times.
With those being said, I am welcoming everyone in this thread. Feel free to ask questions and discuss things here. :) Walang away-away ha?
If you are confused in bands that you think are emo, you can check out the website of Is this band Emo.
Here's a list c/o youdontknowemo that has a numer of bands which falls under the category of Mall Emo. Click here to view the webpage.

United States District Court, E.D. Louisiana
August 2, 2017
WASTE MANAGEMENT OF LOUISIANA, LLCv.RIVER BIRCH, INC. ET AL
the Court is a Motion to Quash Subpoena to Attorney Peter J.
Butler, Sr. or Alternatively for a Protective Order (R. Doc.
283) filed by Defendants River Birch LLC, Highway 90, LLC,
Frederick Heebe, and Albert Ward, Jr. seeking an order
quashing the subpoena issued by the Plaintiff to Peter
Butler, Sr. The motion is opposed. R. Doc. 296. The motion
was submitted on July 19, 2017 and heard with argument that
same day.
oral argument, the Court found that Topic No. 2, which seeks
information related to "[a]ll communications between
[Butler] and named Defendants, or any person or entity
associated with or acting on behalf of the named Defendants,
" may involve discussion of privilege information.
While the Court heard argument concerning the application of
the crime-fraud exception to the attorney-client privilege,
the Court determined that it required additional briefing on
this matter, particularly given that Mouton's recently
completed deposition may aid the Court's consideration.
Both the Plaintiff and the Defendant have filed additional
memorandums. R. Doc. 311; R. Doc. 314.
action was filed in the District Court on September 23, 2011.
R. Doc. 1. Waste Management of Louisiana, LLC
("Plaintiff") alleges that the Defendants have
engaged in a long-running conspiracy to limit and exclude
competition for landfill disposal services in and around New
Orleans, Louisiana. R. Doc. 140, p. 1. The Defendants in this
action are: River Birch, Inc., the owner and operator of
River Birch landfill; Highway 90 LLC, who owns Highway 90
landfill; Frederick Heebe, the owner of Shadow Lake
Management, Co., which is the parent corporation of River
Birch, Inc.; and Albert Ward, who is the father-in-law of
Heebe, and former President of River Birch, Inc. and Manager
of Highway 90 LLC (collectively "Defendants"). In
particular, the Plaintiff states that it suffered direct
injury as a result of the Defendants actions in at least two
instances: the premature closure of the Chef Menteur landfill
in 2006 as part of a scheme to transfer more Hurricane
Katrina clean-up debris to River Birch's landfill; and
the efforts to prematurely oust the Plaintiff as operator of
the Jefferson Parish landfill as part of a scheme to transfer
the Parish's municipal solid waste to River Birch
landfill under an exclusive 25-year contract. Id. at
p. 2. As such, the Plaintiff has alleged two counts of
violations under Federal Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt
Organizations ("RICO") Sections 1962(c) and
Section 1962(d). Id. at p. 39-42.
Plaintiff further alleges that the closure of the Chef
Menteur landfill resulted from the Defendants' RICO
violations. In particular, the Plaintiff alleges that at
least two RICO predicate activities demonstrate that the
Defendants were engaged in a pattern of racketeering activity
that led to the Plaintiff's harm: 1) the bribery of Henry
Mouton; and 2) the bribery of Ray Nagin. Id. at p.
13-21. First, the Plaintiffs allege that starting as early as
2003 the Defendants or others at their behest began bribing
Mouton to use his position and influence to further the
commercial interests of the Defendants. Id. at p.
14. During 2005 and 2006, the Plaintiff further alleges that
the Defendants bribed Mouton specifically for the purpose of
using his position as a Louisiana Department of Wildlife and
Fisheries Commissioner to oppose the approval, permitting,
and/or operation of competing landfills to dispose of
Katrina-related waste, including the Chef Menteur, Old
Gentilly, and Two Rivers landfills. Id. Mouton
allegedly used his influence to contact a number of public
officials-including persons at the Environmental Protection
Agency, the Federal Bureau of Investigation, the United
States Attorney's Office, United States Senators, and
others-to spread misinformation and seek their assistance in
stopping other landfills from competing under the guise of
environmental concerns. Id. at p. 15. Mouton also
allegedly funneled $24, 000 in bribes on behalf of the
Defendants to other public officials during April and May of
2006. Id.
In May
of 2011, Mouton plead guilty to one count of conspiracy to
receive illegal payoffs; and, in the factual summary from
that case, Mouton proffered that he conspired to shutter the
competition with "Co-Conspirator A" and used the
status and legitimacy of his office to successfully influence
decision makers to stop the proposed Two Rivers landfill and
to attempt to influence decision makers to shut down the Old
Gentilly landfill. Id. at 14. The Plaintiff avers
that "Co-Conspirator A" is Defendant Heebe.
Id. at p. 3. However, the Court also notes that the
Chef Menteur landfill was not listed nor discussed in the
factual statement connected to that criminal case. R. Doc.
176-4. Moreover, the truthfulness of Mouton's statements
in his plea agreement are hotly contested by the Defendants,
particularly in light of the alleged prosecutorial misconduct
of the United States Attorney's Office at the time of
Mount's guilty plea. Even Mouton sought after his plea
agreement to open discovery to determine if there existed
exculpatory materials and to verify that the plea was fairly
negotiated based on the alleged prosecutorial misconduct.
At this
time, the Defendants have filed a motion to quash or
alternatively for a protective order in relation to the
subpoena issued by the Plaintiff to Peter Butler, Sr.
("Butler"). Butler provided legal counsel to the
Defendants for more than thirty years. R. Doc. 283, p. 1. As
such, the Defendants state that the subpoena seeks privileged
information. R. Doc. 283-1, p. 3-4. The Defendants further
argue that the information is not subject to the crime fraud
exception because Mouton's guilty plea alone is not
enough to demonstrate that the Defendants were engaged in a
crime. R. Doc. 307, p. 2-3. Moreover, the Defendants also
state that the Supreme Court's decisions in McDonnell
v. United States, 136 S.Ct. 2355 (2016) clarifies that
Mouton's actions were not illegal. Finally, the
Defendants also argue that the Plaintiff should pursue any
discovery of Butler from some other means rather than a
deposition, citing by analogy the factors used in determining
whether to depose in-house counsel from the Shelton
reply, the Plaintiff argue that any privileged communication
between Butler or the Defendants in connection with the
alleged scheme to target rival landfills would fall under the
"crime-fraud" exception. R. Doc. 296, p. 5. In
particular, the Plaintiff argues that Butler's
communications were in furtherance of the criminal scheme
between the Defendants and Mouton. In reply to the
Defendants' arguments, the Plaintiff argues that the
McDonnell opinion is inapposite here as the
McDonnell case involved the statutory interpretation
of two statutes not at issue. The Plaintiff also argues that
the Shelton factors do not apply here.

Chicago resident Jody Wasson is looking forward to making the rounds at holiday parties. Not only does he plan to catch up with old friends, but the recently laid-off events planner says it's also not a bad way to network for a job.
Wasson, 34, should know. He found his most recent job at a holiday party two years ago.
"I was at a party just chit-chatting and somebody there told me about a great agency that can put you to work," he recalled. "It was my intention to keep my eyes and ears open, but I didn't go to this party with a mission to market myself. I just got lucky."

Digging for Death by Caroline Clemmons
Marilyn, thank you for having me as your guest.
Don't you love books set in a small town? Life is kinder, gentler and slower paced in a small town. The wholesome atmosphere makes murder all the more shocking. Even when the victim is the meanest man in town, no one expects him to end up dead by misadventure.
Cozy mysteries are one of my favorite genres. Since 1998 I had written a contemporary mystery (ALMOST HOME) and numerous romances with a heavy dose of mystery, but yearned to try my hand at writing a cozy series. For each possibility I considered, there were other similar-sounding series already available. What to choose, what to choose?
When our Texas weather is tolerable in spring and fall, my youngest daughter and I enjoy a favorite nursery, Weston Gardens in Fort Worth, Texas. We tour the grounds of the home next to the nursery. The grounds include a rose garden and gazing pool, an arbor, extensive gardens with a koi pond, and a stone ship (yes, stone) at a large creek's edge that functions as a meeting area for lectures and tea tasting (there's also a lecture area inside a building for inclement weather).
Probably due to our affinity for Weston Gardens paired with my own quirky mind, I came up with the idea of a young woman, Heather Cameron, who managed a garden center for the grandparents who raised her. The great-grandmother, Gigi, was inspired by my late mom and her elderly friend, each of whom was/is known to speak her mind. I didn't choose a garden center and landscape designer on a whim. The family of one of my critique partners owned a garden center in El Paso, and my eldest daughter is a Master Gardener. Each of them was helpful, plus I researched extensively. In addition, I used to belong to an active garden club and have many gardening books.
One of writing's advantages is that the author has license to create locales. Into the plot I inserted my own concept of a nineteenth century home that had grown in a rambling hodge podge up through modern times, and arranged extensive gardens to suit my purposes. I threw in a fictional town, Gamble Grove, about an hour's drive north of Dallas and had a lovely time peopling this new little world. In spite of the fact that writing is hard work, I had fun plotting the novel and writing it.
And this brings me to the result, DIGGING FOR DEATH, first in the Heather Cameron cozy series. Here's a blurb:
Garden center manager Heather Cameron is DIGGING FOR DEATH to prove her old family friend, mentor, and employee, Walter Sims, is innocent of murdering the meanest man in town. Heather can't trust the police to find the real killer when all clues point to poor Walter. The dead man was beaten to death with Walter's shovel several hours after they were overheard arguing, and the two men had a long history of enmity. Walter definitely looks guilty, but Heather is sure—well, almost positive—okay, she certainly hopes her friend and mentor is innocent.
Heather is compelled to scour the fictional North Central Texas town of Gamble Grove to exonerate her old friend. She's encouraged when the new police detective in town, Kurt Steele, shows interest in helping her look for clues.
The deeper Heather digs into the dead man's life, the more she justifies his ruthless reputation. Walter is indicted, but police begin to suspect the victim's stepson as murderer. Heather is convinced the stepson couldn't have murdered anyone either—although it's clear no love was lost between the two men. The attempted murder of the victim's real son creates a new twist. Can Heather solve the murder without becoming the killer's next victim?
DIGGING FOR DEATH is available in print or e-book.

Author Bio:
Caroline Clemmons writes mystery, romance, and adventures—although her earliest made up adventures featured her saving the West with Roy Rogers. Eventually, her best friend from across the street and she decided to become better detectives than Nancy Drew. The two girls drove their parents and neighbors crazy sticking their pert little noses where they didn't belong. About that time, Caroline started writing down her adventures, but mostly she was a reader. Her career has included stay-at-home mom (her favorite job), newspaper reporter and featured columnist, assistant to the managing editor of a psychology journal, and bookkeeper. She and her husband live in rural North Central Texas with a menagerie of rescued pets. When she's not writing, she enjoys spending time with family, reading, travel, browsing antique malls and estate sales, and researching genealogy/family history.

In just two weeks time, the UK will be voting on whether to leave the EU or remain a member. It is the first time the UK has voted on it's membership of the EU in a generation. In 1975, the UK voted to remain a member of what was then the European Community.
Across the UK, campaigners from all sides of the political spectrum are busy trying to secure votes in the referendum, and many are using NationBuilder. We wanted to showcase the great campaigning and organising work they are doing.
Official campaigns
The referendum has an official campaign on either side - Vote Leave and Stronger In. Both sides are building campaigns built around mobilising their supporters to spread the word. Their websites are designed to drive action, whether that is attending events or spreading the word on social media.
Vote Leave
Vote Leave is the official campaign encouraging the electorate to vote to leave the EU. They have been campaigning with NationBuilder from the start of their campaign last autumn.
They have used a website design which focusses on gathering new supporter sign ups. They've also used events pages with great affect.
Learn about setting up events on NationBuilder.
You can see Vote Leave's website here.
Stronger In
Stronger In is the official campaign encouraging the electorate to vote to remain a member of the EU. They have been using NationBuilder to grow their campaign.
Their website has focussed on spreading their message on social media, using recruiter links to track where new supporters come from.
Learn about social media recruitment with NationBuilder.
You can see Stronger In's website here.
Party campaigns
Most of the UK political parties are involved in the referendum, and many are running their campaigns on NationBuilder. These differ from the official campaigns, which are cross party. These parties are working to get their supporters to campaign and vote in the referendum.

Lib Dems
Plaid Cymru

A little tip for staying in Berlin....
Never rent an apartment from berlin99, especially from Martin and his "building manager" Peter who is basically useless. And I would highly advise that if you are looking for something in london to not rent from their sister company london99 either.

Today I milled some very large and beefy braces to serve as support for a vertical breadboard I am mounting on the anti-vibration table. Using a 1/20 wave ULE Flat, I will reflect the laser from the Zygo vertically, through test lenses. This will make it easier to optimize our apo triplets by rotating each element and testing which orientation has the highest rating. We just keep pushing the envelope!

The Faculty of Informatics is pleased to announce a seminar given by Costanza Conti
DATE: Monday, September 8th 2014
PLACE: USI Lugano Campus, room SI-008, Informatics building (Via G. Buffi 13)
Cardinal Hermite exponential splines are a generalization of the classical cardinal Hermite polynomial splines with the feature of reproducing exponential polynomials. In this talk we present a new cardinal exponential B-spline basis with four elements useful for the construction of active contours for the analysis of biomedical images. Our functions provide us with a direct control over the tangents of the parameterized contour, which is absent in traditional spline-based active contours. They have been designed to perfectly reproduce elliptical and circular shapes and can approximate any closed curve up to arbitrary precision by increasing the number of anchor points. They are therefore well-suited to the segmentation of the roundish objects that are commonly encountered in the analysis of bio-images. After having established the connection to standard exponential splines, we show stability, approximation power, multiresolution properties of the new basis. Moreover we propose a non-stationary Hermite interpolatory subdivision scheme for refinement of vector sequences via the repeated application of level-dependent matrix subdivision operators. Finally, we illustrate the performance of our cardinal exponential B-splines constructing active contours on some examples of real biological data.
Costanza Conti studied mathematics at the University of Florence and got the PhD on Mathematics and Computer Science at the University of Naples in Italy with a thesis on Polyharmonic spline under the supervision of C. Rabut (co-tutele with INSA, Toulouse, France). As a postdoc she spent about one year in Hohenheim, Germany ,where she started working on subdivision schemes with K. Jetter. She is presently Associate Professor of Numerical Analysis at the University of Florence, Italy. Interest topics are splines, subdivision schemes and algebraic methods for numerical grid generation.
