American Institute of Physics
Computer vision is the branch of artificial intelligence that focuses
on providing computers with the functions typical of human vision.
To date, computer vision has produced important applications in
fields such as industrial automation, robotics, biomedicine, and
satellite observation of Earth. In the field of industrial automation
alone, its applications include guidance for robots to correctly
pick up and place manufactured parts, nondestructive quality and
integrity inspection, and on-line measurements.
Dedicated computers such as the MMP have always received a cold
reception from industry because they were expensive, cumbersome,
and difficult to program. In recent years, however, increased performance
at the system levelfaster microprocessors, faster and larger
memories, and faster and wider buseshas made computer vision
affordable on a wide scale. Fast microprocessors and digital-signal
processors are now available as off-the-shelf solutions, and some
of them can execute calculations at rates of thousands of MIPS.
The Texas Instruments C6414 processor, for example, runs at 600
MHz and can achieve a peak performance of 4,800 MIPS. Highspeed
serial buses such as the IEEE 1394 and USB 2.0 are capable of transferring
hundreds of megabits per second, a rate that greatly exceeds the
requirements of any common high-resolution video camera. These buses
are already integrated into the most recent personal computer chipsets
or are available as inexpensive daughterboards. Moreover, video
cameras have gone almost completely to digital, and they come in
several price ranges and types. Consumer camcorders are based on
standards such as the Digital Video (DV), which provides videos
with 720 × 480 pixels/frame at a rate of 30 frames/s. Even
Webcams can now provide images of satisfactory quality at prices
starting as low as $25.
The availability of affordable hardware and software has opened
the way for new, pervasive applications of computer vision. These
applications have one factor in common. They tend to be human-centered;
that is, either humans are the targets of the vision system or they
wander about wearing small cameras, or sometimes both. Vision systems
have become the central sensor in applications such as
Human-computer interfaces
The basic idea behind the use of computer vision in HCIs is that
in several applications, computers can be instructed more naturally
by human gestures than by the use of a keyboard or mouse. In one
interesting application, computer scientist James L. Crowley of
the National Polytechnical Institute of Grenoble in France and his
colleagues used human eye movements to scroll a computer screen
up and down. A camera located on top of the screen tracked the eye
movements. The French researchers reported that a trained operator
could complete a given task 32% faster by using his eyes rather
than a keyboard or mouse to direct screen scrolling. In general,
using cameras to sense human gestures is much easier than making
users wear cumbersome peripherals such as digital gloves.
Cameras could also become powerful peripherals for the so-called
intelligent home. A camera located in your living room would perform
several tasks, starting with sensing a human presence and then turning
the lights on and the heat up. Indeed, cameras could replace the
many hard-to-find remote controls around todays homes, provide
environmental surveillance, and turn the TV off when you fall asleep
in your favourite armchair.
The Voice
Another application is The vOICe, developed at Philips Research
Laboratories (Eindhoven, The Netherlands) by Peter B. L. Meijer
and available online for
testing. The vOICe provides a simple yet effective means of
augmented perception for people with partially impaired vision.
In the virtual demonstration, the camera accompanies you in your
wanderings. The camera periodically scans the scene in front of
you and turns images into sounds, using different pitches and lengths
to encode objects position and size.
Media interpretation
The use of computer vision for automatic media interpretation assists
users in searching for specific scenes and shots otherwise not annotated
in the video-scene indexes. For example, images containing faces
can be automatically distinguished from other images, as the results
of the Face Detection Project led by Henry Schneiderman and Takeo
Kanade at Carnegie Mellon University (CMU) prove. The CMU face detector
is considered the most accurate for frontal face detection and is
also reliable for facial profiles and three-quarter images. Many
examples are available here - one is shown in Figure 1, top
and anyone
can submit an image which will process the image overnight and
depict all detected faces with a box around them.
However, computer vision can do much more for multimedia. For example,
it is an invaluable support to recent multimedia standards aimed
at compressing digital videosreducing their size in byteswhile
still retaining acceptable visual quality. One such standard is
MPEG-4 from the Moving Picture Expert Group, which allows the compression
of different objects in a scene with specific compression levels
in such a way as to adjust the trade-off between space reduction
and visual quality on a per-object basis. The basic idea is that
important objects such as actors should retain the highest visual
quality, while objects in the background can be encoded with lower
quality to save bytes. Nonetheless, MPEG-4 is silent on how to separate
a video into the objects of which it is composed. Here again, computer
vision can help with a variety of techniques that perform the task
Video surveillance
Perhaps the most developed modern application of computer vision
is video surveillance. Long gone are the days when video surveillance
meant low-resolution, black-and-white, analog closed-circuit television.
Nowadays, computer vision enables the integration of views from
many cameras into a single, consistent superimage. Such
an image automatically detects scenes with people and/or vehicles
or other targets of interest, classifies them in categories such
as people, cars, bicycles, or buses, extracts their trajectories,
recognizes limb and arm positions, and provides some form of behavior
The analysis relies on a list of previously specified behaviors
or on statistical observations such as frequent-versus-infrequent
behaviors. The basic goal is not to completely replace security
personnel but to assist them in supervising wider areas and focusing
their attention on events of interest. Although the critical issue
of privacy must be addressed before society widely adopts these
video surveillance systems, the recent need for increased security
has made them more likely to win general acceptance. In addition,
several technical countermeasures can be taken to prevent privacy
abuses, such as protecting access to video footage by way of passwords
and encryption.
At the University of Technology in Sydney, Australia, we have developed
and tested a system that can detect suspicious pedestrian behavior
in parking lots. Our approach is based on the assumption that a
suspicious behavior corresponds to an individuals erratic
walking trajectory. The rationale behind this assumption is that
a potential offender will wander about and stop between different
cars to inspect their contents, whereas normal users will maintain
a more direct path of travel.
Figure 3. This parking-lot
surveillance system subtracts the static background
image, distinguishes a person from moving vehicles,
locates the head, and calculates the speed of the head
in each frame.
Finally, a neural network classifier, trained to recognize the
suspicious behaviors, provides the behavior classification. In the
experiments we performed, the system achieved good accuracy, with
a reasonably limited number of false dismissals and false alarms4%
and 2%, respectively, among more than 100 test samples. Although
manufacturers and operators of surveillance systems have often been
reluctant to accept innovation, recent results from research laboratories
of major companies prove that these systems are now reliable, economical,
and ready for commercialization. One example is DETER from Honeywell
Labs, a prototype urban-surveillance system.
For those who want to build their own surveillance systems, an
enormous amount of equipment is available. Web sites of manufacturers
such as Sony, Axis, Pelco, and many others offer a wide range of
cameras. You can find network cameras starting at less than $500
that can be simply plugged into any network, such as a TCP-IP, which
can carry a full Web server and allow camera frames to be downloaded
and processed. Adjustable pantiltzoom cameras can be
used to point and focus on specific targets over wide survey areas.
And if cabling poses a problem because of camera location, wireless
versions are available off-the-shelf. Computer vision, already a
useful aid in several industrial processes, will find increasing
uses as companies develop new applications in areas such as HCI,
augmented perception, and automatic media interpretation. Its potential
to improve plant and public safety is attracting increasing attention
in todays security-conscious world.

The long awaited SUPER TUTORIAL 2
In the course of 8 lessons, we are going to use Photoshop and Imageready to design a website. Then we are going to create rollover effects and slice and optimize in Imageready. If that's not enough, we will then publish the site and import it to Dreamweaver where we will turn it into a website. These are the same techniques I used to build PhotoshopCafe.
In the first part we are going to prepare our homepage by producing the background and blending an image.
1. Preparing the background *Photoshop 6
2. Adding the design elements to the page *Photoshop 6
3. Preparing rollovers with Layer Styles *Photoshop 6
4. Slicing in *Imageready 3
5. Rollovers in *Imageready 3
6. Optimizing and publishing *Imageready 3
7. Bringing it into *Dreamweaver 4
8. Turning the page into
a website *Dreamweaver 4
Create a new canvas at 800 X 600. This is a good starting size for a webpage, however we can use larger sizes as screen sizes and resolutions increase. At this time I use 800X600 so that people with lower res monitors can display the page correctly. Previously I used 640X480. But now so few people have these resolutions that its not worth taxing everyone else. That is one of the challenges of the web, there are always trade offs.
Drag out a few guides to help keep everything in its proper place.
Before we really get into the design I want to encourage you to create your own design and use the principles rather than just follow along.
Create a new layer.
I like to design on layers because of the flexibility offered.
Set a dark blue as your background color and prepare a foreground to background linear gradient.
Apply the gradient to your page. Hold down the shift key to keep the gradient perfectly vertical.
Drag the image of the shark (Or your own image "better idea") into the document and resize it. Download the image here (Right click on it and save to HDD)
We are now going to blend the image into the background. Click the 2nd icon from the left in the layers palette to add a layer mask.
Choose the paintbrush and select a 100 pixel soft brush.
Make black your foreground color and begin to paint around the edges of the picture and watch it fade out. If you make a mistake just paint back with white and the image will reappear.
When you paint black on a mask, it hides the linked image. When you paint white, it shows the image. Shades of gray will effect the transparency.
Keep painting until the edges are soft.
Finally Switch to screen mode and drop the opacity to 49%.
The picture is now seamlessly blended with the background.

Commentary: I'll Have Another and Mario Gutierrez are underdogs we can all root for
But we start by putting our Bud Light Spotlight on a story plot I'm a sucker for: an underdog jockey and an underdog horse.
I might not be the biggest horse racing fan. But I'm rooting like crazy for "I'll Have Another" to win the Triple Crown.
I'd bet the majority of us weren't tuned in yesterday when "I'll Have Another" ran down "Bodemeister" in dramatic fashion to win the Preakness by a nose. The race simply doesn't have the Kentucky Derby hype. Fans don't flock to parties wearing big hats, nor do celebrities jet-set to Baltimore like two weeks ago at Churchill Downs.
But now they have a chance to become first in 34 years to win the Triple Crown. A horse that's never been the odds-on favorite – with a little-known jockey who has Northwest ties.
Yes, this time last week, 25-year-old Mario Gutierrez was at Hastings Racecourse in Vancouver, B-C., signing autographs at the track he called home the last five years. He's even raced a few times at Emerald Downs in Auburn, honing a craft and chasing a dream. Six years after making no money in Mexico City as an apprentice, Gutierrez is in a position even hall-of-fame jockeys never held: one mount to capture the rarest feat in his sport.
"I'll Have Another" hasn't come with any semblance of "Tebow-Mania" or "Lin-Sanity." But he deserves it, given his accomplishments have outweighed virtually every expectation.
Just as Tebow and Lin found ways to win, so too has "I'll Have Another." And he continues to beat the odds.
The horse was sold for only $11,000 as a yearling, and just $35,000 at auction last year. Now, he's won more than two-point-six million dollars in prize money and has placed himself among the legendary horses of all time. If he wins the Triple Crown three weeks from now at Belmont Park, he could become the most unlikely horse to do so.
While their story doesn't exactly resemble that of "Seabiscuit," one inspirational theme remains the same: "I'll Have Another" and Mario Gutierrez are simply a horse and jockey passed over by many, and given a chance by few.
And in this day-in-age in which many fans find themselves rooting against particular players and against particular teams – see LeBron James or the Oklahoma City Thunder – this is a refreshing duo everyone can get behind. A couple of castoffs, chasing history, chasing what's proven elusive for so many years.
Gutierrez is humble and his joy is genuine. "I'll Have Another" has proven to be the horse that could.
The Triple Crown is now theirs for the taking. And they've got every bone in my body hoping they will.

University High School of Science and Engineering Teacher Receives 2010 Yale Educator Award
Posted 11/08/2010
Posted by
David Isgur
Theresa Vara-Dannen
, of Middlebury, an English teacher at the University High School of Science and Engineering, is one of the winners of a 2010 Yale Educator Award. The award recognizes outstanding educators from around the world who have supported and inspired current Yale University students to achieve at high levels.
Vara-Dannen was nominated for the award by
student Jennifer Ky of Hartford
. Matriculating students are invited to nominate high school educators, and a committee composed of Yale admissions officers reviews the nominations individually and designates recipients. Of 269 nominations received, 30 teachers and 18 counselors were selected to receive the awards. In September, the winners were sent engraved desk sets and congratulatory letters, and administrators of the high schools were notified of their achievement.
Vara-Dannen was also the recipient of an annual Innovation and Collaboration Award in 2007 given by the University of Hartford to deserving teachers at the two public magnet schools - the University High School of Science and Engineering and the University of Hartford Magnet School (pre-kindergarten through fifth-grade) - on its campus.
Ky, who is planning to pursue a career in molecular biology, is a 2010 graduate of the University of High School of Science and Engineering. She achieved some notoriety in December of 2009 when she and two other classmates at UHSSE were all accepted as early-admission candidates to the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Those two classmates -
Josh Sibblies of Windsor and Katie Allsop of Bolton
- are currently students at MIT.
Chartered in 1957 with the mission to be a "private university with a public purpose," the University of Hartford offers undergraduate, graduate, and professional programs in the arts, the humanities, business, engineering and technology, education, and the health professions. The University's student body of 7,300 represents 45 states and more than 50 countries. For more information, visit

Would you share your definition of maturity and the processes to become mature?
Watching people and seeing my own pathway to "grey hair", I have often thought about the question, 'what is maturity and when will we know we arrived/achieved?'
What ideals wait upon persons who seek maturity? Yes, I know; maturity varies and is not necessarily linked to body age. Given wide variances in human experiences, what could you say that defines maturity.
TED players are invited to help define maturity. Please disregard what you think others have said or will say; just dig into your experiences and ideals.

I did an interview over at Robot 6 for their new Robot Roulette feature.
In other news, there's a kickstarter going on right now for Brand New Nostalgia's Kaboombox anthology. BNN is run by my buddy and fellow OOSA member, Andrew Maclean.
I was asked to contribute, so I'll have 8 pages of previously unpublished work appearing in the book. Not only that, but I've donated some copies of Dogs of Mars as one of the kickstarter incentives. Each copy will be signed and sketched in. In fact, I they're already half way claimed and the book is almost funded, so if you're interested here's the link.
Kaboombox also features Giannis Milonogiannis, who I collaborated with on Twisted Savage Dragon Funnies, Toby Cypress, who I worked with on Blue Estate and a bunch of other amazingly talented creators.

- OpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 9/30/2014Exceptional food, service and atmosphere. Highly recommend this gem. Black grouper was a great dish.Special Features:
- OpenTable Diner Since 2011Dined on 9/30/2014I took a friend to dinner for his birthday. The table was by the window and the view was incredible. The service was excellent. Dinner was an experience from the wine to the dessert. We had an amazing time.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Brunch at OystercatchersOpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 9/28/2014We went to brunch at Oystercatchers for our 7th wedding anniversary. There was an excellent selection of food ranging from breakfast omelets to sushi and the raw bar. We totally enjoyed our time sampling dishes from most of the stations. The mimosas were great and our glasses were never empty. A wonderful experience. Thanks Oystercatchers for making our day special.Special Features:
- SpectacularTampaChrisDined on 9/28/2014Best Sunday brunch in Tampa hands down. Great view, friendly service, outstanding food. Well worth the money.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- foodcriticabcDined on 9/23/2014As expected, the food was wonderfully delicious, the service was magnificent. Always a great experience.Special Features:
- CaptTDined on 9/21/2014Long time Oyterscatchers fan. Our favorite resturant in Tampa Bay Area. Only regret from dinner is the fish portion was too small on several orders. Mahi Mahi is an inexpensive fish. My guest loves seafood and his portion was very small. The difference between a 4 star and 5 star ratingSpecial Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Wow Brunch!TreborDined on 9/21/2014I'll never go to another restaurant in Tampa for brunch. Everything was perfect.Special Features:
- Chart House TampacharthousefanDined on 9/21/2014This was the fourth Chart House at which we have dined and we were looking forward to the experience. Unfortunately, the barman and the ambiance left us disappointed. We arrived early so as to have a pre dinner drink at the bar and the Hostess reminded us we were still in time for happy hour. Good start. The barman recommended a wine and we made the mistake of not inquiring the price. We were a bit shocked when he billed us $25.00 plus tax for two glasses of not very good house wine during happy hour. He claimed he didn't realize it was still happy hour despite us overhearing him telling a waitress as he was pouring our drinks that there was ten minutes to go before the end of happy hour. Other staff members gave excellent service.Special Features:
- ThegreekDined on 9/20/20146:30 reservation was made a few days in advance and had a wonderful view in a bay window overlooking Tampa Bay. The sun was spectacular as it set. For only a few well timed minutes before it set, the motorized see through shades came down so the sun would not spoil the view. Everything was terrific. Only if the sound level could be reduced some.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Expensive but great foodSunnyflaDined on 9/20/2014Had a family dinner here last week. Food was expensive but great, we got the water view table we requested, service was very good. Only thing that could have been better was there was a little too long of a wait for our server to come between courses. The lobster Mac and cheese was a big hit - we shared one order among us. The various seafood entrees were all delicious and all of the entrees came out at the same time. Key lime pie was great too.Special Features:
- Best scallops in Tampa BayJoecDined on 9/20/2014We eat out 3 or 4 times a month and always try to visit different restaurants. Oystercatchers is the best seafood we have had in the bay area. We sat outside, what a view! Our server, Drew, was terrific. You don't mind paying a bit more for great food, ambiance and service.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Simply the bestKentuckyBurbonDined on 9/20/2014Cocktails were creative, fresh and delicious! For appetizers we had the oysters and the pork belly. Unlike anything we have had before. The flavors were a perfect combination. For dinner hubby and I split the seafood grill with the crab grits. Everything was cooked to perfection and so delicious. The view was superb, looking forward to return soonSpecial Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Beautiful Anniversary Sunset DinnertgboothathomeDined on 9/20/2014We've enjoyed this restaurant several times, but this visit was special.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- A wonderful experienceluvfoodDined on 9/19/2014Outstanding evening. We were given an excellent table with a view of the gulf. Our waiter was very professional, attentive but not intrusive. Service was not rushed with thoughtful timing between appetizer and entree. Even the wine service was timely, with more concern for our enjoyment rather than emptying the bottle so we might buy another. It was a Birthday celebration and the restaurant made it a special one.The food preparation was outstanding, we could not have asked for a more enjoyable evening.Special Features:
- Tampa Gem for great foodHsy2550VIPDined on 9/19/2014I often get to Tampa and when I do, I try to get to Oystercaters. The menu selections had changed, but there were still fantastic selections of seafood, chicken and steaks. The restaurant attracts quite a few hotel guest from the Grand Hyatt. The food is always fresh and well prepared. The service is stellar and I have never had a bad meal there. It is not a tourist spot, so you will have to go off the beaten path to find it. You will not be disappointed.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Memorable eveningRestaurant8Dined on 9/18/2014It felt like our anniversary, though not for another couple months. View, food,wine,staff and ambiance amazing!!!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great food and great serviceExmns3001Dined on 9/14/2014Very attentive staff, amazing view and great food. Couldn't have pick a better place for my anniversary.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Business LunchOpenTable Diner Since 2010VIPDined on 9/12/2014We went there for a convenient place near the airport. The people we were meeting took the hotel shuttle so they did not have to rent car and find the location. Food was great. We had a quiet corner with a great few to discuss our topics.Special Features:
- In and out in under 15 minutesOpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 9/10/2014We pulled up to drop off the ladies in our foursome and were greeted by a valet. No sign for valet, he wasn't wearing a uniform or even a name tag. I said I would like to self park, he made a nasty comment and left the door ajar. (btw, it is my custom to tip the valet even when I self park, but not this time). We then entered the restaurant, were greeted pleasantly, then seated. Very nice decor, however, I did request a table with a view of the sunset. We were seated behind a pole with only one person having a view. (there were other tables available) Then the power went out, just for about a minute. Then, the power went out again for good. We were not offered drinks or anything, the restaurant started to fill with smoke, we left.Special Features:
- Great DiningTempleDined on 9/7/2014Excellent seafood especially the yellowfin tuna and the oysters. Friendly staff and really nice position makes this ideal for a special occasion with a great sunset view over Tampa Bay.Special Features:
- Always impressedLuvcatchersDined on 9/6/2014The venue is one of the best in Florida. The service seems to be better every time. The food NEVER disappoints!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- anniversarygreatbitesoutDined on 9/5/2014First time dinning wanted a nice out of the way place not a commercial type place this was the perfect fit. Great view great sunset. Service tip notch. Very much a seafood restaurant but the filet was perfect one of best I have had. Lobster mac and cheese also a must try.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Delicious!AnnaDined on 8/31/2014Great buffet brunch with endless mimosas! Also a bloody Mary bar. The food was great and the view is perfection!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Sunday BrunchTLW1VIPDined on 8/31/2014Still the best Sunday Brunch in Tampa. Worth the money for the variety of food stations, fresh seafood and unlimited champagne. Great water view.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- OpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 8/31/2014Sitting looking out at the water and eating great food--doesn't get any better. Thanks Oystercatchers.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great service, great food!KmilDined on 8/30/2014One of my favorite places to eat in Tampa. One of the few places I've found great care is put into every course of the meal. Love the Grouper.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Best Restaurant in TampaPaneNotDined on 8/28/2014Oystercathers is a genuine Pearl! Upon entering the restaurant, you are greeted by a warm and friendly maitre de, and escorted to your table (with a smile!). The waitstaff was friendly, informative (not overbearing) with local food recommendations and wine pairings, and very accommodating. The view from our table was breathtaking. We dined at sunset. It was a magical painted picture. We had the blackened grouper and filet mignon. Both were expertly prepared, piping hot on delivery and full of flavor. The sourdough bread which was delivered hot & fresh with Vermont Cream Butter and smoked sea salt, it was intoxicating. That is almost reason enough to try this great restaurant. We ended our meal with freshly baked key lime pie. WOW!Special Features:
- OversoldRPDinerVIPDined on 8/28/2014We found the food okay, but not outstanding, especially considering the prices. Good service. Great view. Rather out of the way.
- Outstanding!!Gwap903Dined on 8/24/2014Was our first visit, I was happy to see we received a window seat as requested, the wife and I found it to be exceptional, *our only regret was we arrived 1400 hours (reservation) to find the brunch was over at 1430 hours, a bit disappointing but I guess that's my fault for not observing the brunch schedule, that aside we will definitely be returning (earlier brunch next time) and we are looking forward to trying it for diner very soon as well. PS: I believe our waiter was Damian (I hope thats correct) he did an excellent job taking care of us. thank you Damian.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- SeamusDined on 8/23/2014Excellent food and fine service. Portions are of a reasonable size, quite satisfactory. Pricey but worth the cost.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great food and serviceAvatarDined on 8/23/2014We have been to this restaurant a few times, and always enjoyed the beautiful scenic views, good food and great service. I wish it wasn't as pricey, so we could enjoy it more often!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Phenomenal food/ great view of bayfoodieVIPDined on 8/23/2014It is a "sin" in my book to visit a great city with several great restaurants and dine at the same place twice. I intentionally broke this moral code with OysterCatchers. Ate there on Saturday and then again for Sunday brunch. Daniel was our exceptional waiter... Service was impeccable. Conversation was sincere. Steve the manager also gave us individual attention. Very well run and they both infused a sense of belonging to our outstanding experience ... With a perfect view of the Bay, food that made me want to cry... Service that was outstanding. A Tampa blessing!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Beautiful FindOpenTable Diner Since 2013Dined on 8/22/2014So glad I found this place! Best seafood and dinner choices in Tampa. Everything my party of 12 had was amazing! The service from our waiter Max was superb. The only reason I did not give 5 stars overall is because my party did not get seated until our entire group arrived even though I asked for them to be seated as they arrived and given appetizers.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- A Pleasant SurpriseFoodieVIPDined on 8/22/2014We travel once a month to Tampa and always look for a new place to dine. Although Oystercatchers is not new, we had not heard of it. Upon finding it and looking at the menu, we decided to try it as it was on the way to a concert we were going to in Clearwater. The seafood is fresh and is served with wonderful sides and lovely presentation. Our server Charles was very knowledgeable about the menu and wine list and had wonderful suggestions as well as a great sense of humor (which we LOVE). Oystercatchers is a throwback to when service was on par with the fine quality of food. Although we do enjoy dining a restaurants that are more modern in style and service, this type of restaurant is a dying breed and thoroughly appreciated by us.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- ServersOpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 8/21/2014Our servers were wonderful. Very helpful and very attentive. Perfect!!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great place to gave a good timeGr8tmealDined on 8/19/2014Nice, elegant, romantic and quality place to have dinner and downtime. Red snapper was great:)Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- OpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 8/18/2014Excellent fish and seafood. I am a fisherman and rarely say that about any restaurant as I eat the freshest fish all the time. However, the fish here was very good.Special Features:
- StuartyDined on 8/17/2014Brunch was very good with so much to choose from. Waiter was a bit slow at first but warmed up when he realised that we were there for a good time !Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Love this placeBefersDined on 8/17/2014My wife and I go here a few times a year for Sunday brunch. Never disappoints. Can't wait to be back.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Good views, bad food, bad serviceWalterDined on 8/16/201435 min wait with a reservation, the black grouper was very over done, took 2.5 hours to get out of there with two people, overall bad experience.

A family says a stranger tried to get into their home and their computer claiming he worked for their child's school.
The family tells FOX 5 the man said he had to install learning software on their computer.
A woman received the phone call Wednesday morning and the caller told her that the learning software was for her son, who is getting ready to enter kindergarten this year.
The woman tells FOX 5 the caller had lots of personal information about her and her family.
Clayton County school officials say they have no idea who the caller is.
The family says the man told them the educational software is called "The National School Curriculum" and it's made by a well-known educational company.
FOX 5 has not been able to verify a computer program by that name even exists.
Information security officer Paresh Patel says many of us don't realize how a cloud connects our digital lives.

About Me Budget Shopper
My mom had bought for my son about 30 years ago. I decided to get one for my new grandchild. Obviously not from the same source. The newer one is larger with fewer and rougher details in the design. The details in the pic are more like the older one, not the newer one.If I have another grandchild I'd get this again only because I had for this one.

I need some help. I have a project I designed and grading plan is almost done. My proposed surface lables read as 1256.50. How can I get them to read just 56.50? I have a FG surface I created and am labeling using surface elevations. I am running out of room and need to free up some space. I don't want do drop my surface 1200'.
Create an expression to subtract 1200 from your surface, then use it in your labels
That worked! Thanks, just had to create my top of curb expression to -1199.5.
That works, but what happens when you have a different number to subtract? Try the method in the link to truncate a more reliable way.

Canine Bling Alert
Diamonds are a dog's best friend?
Please note comments are moderated. After being approved your comment will appear below.
I tease my brother about the umpteen millions of toys he buys his dogs; he teases me because my dog, yes, I admit it, wears a hand-crocheted sweater once in awhile (she's little and cold sensitive, ok).
I tell him, hey, we all spoil our dogs in our own ways!
Submitted by Jane | February 7 2010 | Permalink
I've been thinking about this for a day since reading your post. Here's my conclusion that works for me. I would gently set a boundary with my friends/family that my decisions are mine and I am not looking for their input. If they persist, I would patiently decline to be engaged in that conversation. Unless I solicit their opinion, how I spend my money [on any thing] isn't up for discussion.
This post also got me to thinking about what I do spend on my dog:what I consider necessities versus extravagances. But even among dog people, that definition will vary. The last two dogs I've had were cremated and I scattered their ashes. Some people I know would not have spent the money on it, but I had the means and the ritual was important to me. I don't explain that decision to any one nor do I expect any one else to do what I do. I am aware that my mother and brother don't get my attachment to animals but I don't encourage a conversation around it.
Very good topic to think about. I have had conversations about it with people who are open and nonjudgmental.

Some rumors floated around earlier this morning that John Cena was attacked by a fan after Monday Night Raw went off the air. However, those in attendance are telling a different story now. Eyewitnesses say that the fan jumped the rail to embrace Cena. WWE security immediately grabbed him. As they were escorting him out, Cena was informed of what was going on, so he went over there and gave the guy a high five.
September 23, 2014
While there is a possibility that WWE does a third straight match between John Cena and Brock Lesnar, there are those backstage that are pushing for Cena to be transitioned into a feud with Seth Rollins instead. That's why the story line of Rollins attempting to cash in at Night of Champions 2014 took place. The belief is that this program will help elevate Rollins into the main event scene.
September 22, 2014
Alexander Rusev is rapidly moving up the ladder in WWE. There are those backstage that are already pushing for him to be groomed for a feud against John Cena in the very near future. The belief is that Mark Henry, a former world heavyweight champion with some credibility with the fans, will be putting over Rusev at Night of Champions 2014.
September 17, 2014
Fans were a bit puzzled in regards to how Monday Night Raw was booked this week. John Cena kept telling fans that Paul Heyman only had until halftime to produce Brock Lesnar before an attack would happen. The incident took place closer to the two hour mark than halfway through the show. Reports have surfaced that WWE did this because Vince McMahon wanted to draw in viewers from the NFL game between the Indianapolis Colts and the Philadelphia Eagles. He used Lesnar and Cena, two of the bigger names in wrestling, to try to get fans to switch channels during halftime of the game.
September 16, 2014
While a lot of fans still have a hard time understanding why he is pushed so heavily by WWE, John Cena continues to rack up the numbers to let management know that they are making the right choice. Reports have surfaced that live events featuring Cena are averaging approximately $60,000 more per show than events without the former WWE champion.
September 14, 2014
Over the last couple of weeks, there has been a bit of a struggle backstage in WWE. On one side is Vince McMahon, who wants John Cena to be booked as dominant as possible, so that fans will buy into his upcoming rematch against Brock Lesnar at Night of Champions 2014. On the other side is everyone else, who does not believe that Cena should be dominating the other performers on the roster that much.
September 12, 2014
When he was feuding with John Cena, Bray Wyatt appeared to be a lock to remain in the WWE main event scene for quite some time. When that feud ended, he was able to maintain some momentum when Chris Jericho made his return to the company and feuded with Wyatt. Since there is a lack of top level talent in WWE, there are now talks that management could have Wyatt feuding with Dolph Ziggler over the Intercontinental Championship, even though it seems out of the norm for his character to chase a secondary belt.
September 10, 2014
A good person to be friends with in WWE is the top star in the company. Antonio Cesaro has started to really bond with John Cena backstage, and the two of them have reported been hanging out before shows. Some feel that this could help Cesaro finally get that push that he deserves. It should be noted, however, that a friendship with Cena was not enough to get Big E Langston a big push.
September 8, 2014
If WWE decides to have Brock Lesnar going over John Cena again at Night of Champions 2014, then they're going to need someone for the world heavyweight champion to work again. One name being tossed around right now is Big Show, even though he has not been booked strong or booked as a main event performer over the last several months.
September 6, 2014
Even though Brock Lesnar agreed to work more dates for the company, WWE still has reservations about having a part time world champion. Reports have surfaced that management is considering the possibility of having Seth Rollins cashing in on his Money in the Bank briefcase at Night of Champions. The move would require John Cena to regain the championship briefly.
September 6, 2014
While fans blame John Cena for being booked strong, it is actually management who does not want him to look weak. That's why WWE has been working on ways to protect him at Night of Champions 2014, when he challenges Brock Lesnar for the world title. An idea being floated around right now is to have someone interfere in the match and cost Cena the chance of regaining his belt. Cena would then feud with that individual.
September 6, 2014
As a few people are already aware, Hulk Hogan has been generating some hype recently by teasing fans that he wants to make a return to the WWE ring for one final match. The former world heavyweight champion has teased that he wants to work against John Cena. Well, some fuel has been added to that fire, as Cena himself is now starting to tease the match as well. The belief is that the two of them are simply promoting the upcoming Wrestlemania 31 pay per view.
August 30, 2014
Those that watched Monday Night Raw last week saw John Cena being booked dominantly against Bray Wyatt, Luke Harper and Erick Rowan. It has now been revealed that Vince McMahon was the person behind all of that. Someone backstage had informed McMahon that a lot of WWE fans were mocking Cena for being dominated, so McMahon has decided to build Cena back up again.
August 28, 2014
After witnessing Bray Wyatt, Luke Harper and Erick Rowan being utilized as pawns in the feud between John Cena and Brock Lesnar on Monday Night Raw, a lot of fans voiced their complaints towards WWE. It is now being said that management actually had a different plan that evening for Wyatt. He was supposed to have been booked strong by attacking Big Show and Mark Henry during the closing segment. Instead, WWE changed their minds and decided to put Cena and Lesnar over instead.
August 27, 2014
WWE has announced a big rematch between John Cena and Bray Wyatt for Monday Night Raw tonight. No word yet on why the match is taking place, as the two of them are not currently feuding with one another. Wyatt is still feuding with Chris Jericho, while Cena is in a program with Brock Lesnar, who once again will not be making a television appearance this week despite being the WWE champion.
August 25, 2014
During a recent video interview with Supertraining Gym in Sacramento, John Cena was asked about a potential heel turn, something that fans have been speculating about for years online. The former WWE champion flat out stated that it will never happen. Cena said that he had it in him to make it work, but management will never pull the trigger on such a move because it does not make sense for business.
August 24, 2014
WWE is bringing in the big names to help open up Monday Night Raw this week. Hulk Hogan, Shawn Michaels and Ric Flair have been confirmed to make an appearance. The trio of former world heavyweight champions will be in the opening segment. Reports are surfacing that Flair, Hogan and Michaels will be promoting the feud between John Cena and Brock Lesnar, who is not scheduled to be there.
August 23, 2014
When Bray Wyatt was closing out his feud with John Cena, many wondered who WWE was going to pair him up with next. Fortunately for the company, Chris Jericho agreed to return and help keep Wyatt interesting. Their feud is about to end, so the question has popped up again. As of right now, it looks like WWE is leaning towards putting Wyatt together with Sheamus in a program.
August 22, 2014
With Night of Champions 2014 being a crucial pay per view in terms of drawing in WWE Network subscribers, management is going to be stacking the deck a bit. They knew that they needed their two biggest draws in the main event. That's why it has now been officially announced that John Cena has activated his rematch clause against Brock Lesnar, and the two will tangle again for the world heavyweight championship.
August 20, 2014
It will be interesting to see how WWE handles the promotion of the world heavyweight championship over the next few weeks. Brock Lesnar is not scheduled to be back on television for approximately a month. John Cena, who is returning next week, is expected to get his rematch story line. Paul Heyman is great at what he does, but management will be curious to see how the audience reacts to a missing champion.
August 19, 2014
For years, Hulk Hogan has worked the audience. He knows how to sucker in the most gullible of fans. The WWE legend is at it again. At a promotional event in New Jersey on Saturday, Hogan told the audience that he was training for another match. He also stated that he wanted it to be against John Cena. Hogan is in no shape to work another match, so the belief is that he's just creating a buzz.
August 3, 2014
The rumors about Brock Lesnar beating John Cena at Summerslam 2014 for the WWE Championship are escalating even further today, as it has now been revealed that the former UFC Heavyweight Champion has signed on to do a couple of more episodes of Monday Night Raw. The belief is that he will be making more appearances to promote the upcoming Night of Champions 2014.
July 30, 2014
WWE ran a live event on Friday in Dallas, and they initially drew in fans by advertising that John Cena would be working the show. However, the heavyweight champion picked up a part in a movie and was forced to miss the event, which prompted management to offer full refund to fans in attendance. It is being said that only a small amount of people bothered to leave the building.
July 28, 2014
Alexander Rusev is posing a considerable problem for the WWE creative department nowadays. The staff was instructed to push him up the ladder, but they are now running out of options. His program with Jack Swagger has either ended or will end soon. Rusev cannot be placed into a program with someone lower on the card, and it's too soon for him to work against John Cena. Sheamus has been named as a possible opponent to help Rusev kill time.
July 27, 2014
A lot of people backstage in WWE have been joking around lately about John Cena possibly being the next guy to leave the company to pursue a career in Hollywood. He's got a couple of parts coming up that might help him gain the attention of the studios. There are also talks that Cena is a lot more injured than he lets on, so an acting career might seem like a better option nowadays.
July 23, 2014
For those of you that missed Monday Night Raw this week, Brock Lesnar made his much anticipated return to WWE and challenged John Cena at Summerslam 2014 for the world heavyweight championship. The story is that Paul Heyman convinced Triple H to go with Plan C because it was the best chance at getting the strap away from Cena.
July 22, 2014
After successfully retaining the heavyweight championship at WWE Battleground 2014, many would expect John Cena to be at Monday Night Raw for some sort of victory promo. However, the popular performer hopped on a plane Monday morning in Tampa to head to New York City. Cena is filming some scenes for an upcoming movie and will not be at Raw.
July 21, 2014
With the pay per view just a day away, rumors are firing up about WWE pulling the trigger on the Roman Reigns era. There are talks that he could walk out of the WWE Battleground 2014 pay per view as the new heavyweight champion. Management might be forced to give John Cena some time off to film some scenes in a big movie, so the title change has been discussed heavily over the last couple of days.
July 19, 2014
While wrestling fans online are downplaying the incident, WWE is a bit concerned that fans in attendance at the last episode of Monday Night Raw were bored with Bray Wyatt during his segment with Chris Jericho. The chants came as a bit of a surprise to management, as they felt that Wyatt was one of their more popular performers. There were concerns that he would lose interests from some fans once his program with John Cena ended.
July 17, 2014
Rumors are floating around that the segment on Monday Night Raw between John Cena and Ric Flair was a subtle way for WWE to retire the world heavyweight championship belt. For those that missed it, Cena handed the belt over to Flair and told the legendary performer to keep it. WWE has not released an official statement on the matter yet, so fans will be tuning in to Smackdown and WWE Battleground 2014 to see the fate of the belt.
July 15, 2014
While many are under the impression that he is temporarily holding the WWE Championship until Daniel Bryan can return from a serious neck injury, word coming out of backstage is that John Cena is expected to have a lengthy title reign. Management wants people to believe that his 15th title reign is very important, so they might keep the belt on him a long time to emphasize that.
July 12, 2014
While he was widely viewed as one of the favorites to win the title at Money in the Bank 2014, Bray Wyatt was actually never in consideration as a champion by WWE. The company was dead set on putting the belt back around John Cena, as they felt that they needed their top star to be the face of the company while they're trying to win back the trust of the investors. Putting the belt on Wyatt might not evoke the same level of trust from people who might not necessarily follow the product as much as fans.
July 3, 2014
A lot of fans were hoping to see John Cena next month at the Comic Con event in San Antonio. They're going to be a little bit disappointed because WWE has been forced to pull the heavyweight champion from the event. The belief is that he needs the time to film a new movie. To make things up to the fans, WWE is sending Bray Wyatt, Brie Bella and Nikki Bella.
July 3, 2014
While the general consensus in professional wrestling is that the world heavyweight champion plays a bit part in the overall success of the company, a recent article from Forbes attempts to dispute that by looking at the financial ramifications during the title reigns of CM Punk, John Cena and Randy Orton. Since the numbers are all over the place, the author concluded that the heavyweight champion does not have much of an effect on the business end of WWE.
July 2, 2014
Last night on Monday Night Raw, it was revealed that John Cena would be on the cover of the upcoming WWE 2K15 video game. The move does not come as a surprise to insiders because the company really needs this product to generate a good amount of money. From a marketing perspective, you want to put your biggest asset on the cover to potentially increase the numbers.
July 1, 2014
On Monday Night Raw, WWE was quick to set up the main event for WWE Battleground 2014. John Cena will defend the heavyweight championship in a fatal four way match against Roman Reigns, Randy Orton and Kane. The move was set up by Triple H, who did not reveal his reasoning for putting Reigns, an adversary, into the title match instead of Seth Rollins.
July 1, 2014
A lot of action took place in the main event of Money in the Bank 2014. Fans went crazy as they saw creative signature spots from Randy Orton, Sheamus, John Cena, Roman Reigns, Alberto Del Rio, Kane and Bray Wyatt. However, it was Cena, much to the dismay of online WWE fans, who climbed the ladder and captured the heavyweight championship.
June 29, 2014
During a recent interview, R Truth revealed that his rap album will be released soon, as they are in the final stages of production now. The former world heavyweight champion also revealed that John Cena had provided some help with a couple of the songs. The news comes with a bit of skepticism since the WWE star has reportedly been working on the album for the last several years.
June 27, 2014
Over the last several months, the Usos have been given more of the spotlight. While some of that is due to the Total Divas connection, the main source of their push is due to Jimmy Uso and Jey Uso being backed by John Cena. The trio has grown close backstage. Cena doesn't often use his stroke with management, but he has encouraged management to push guys like Antonio Cesaro and Big E Langston before.
June 27, 2014
The rumors of John Cena winning the WWE title at Money in the Bank 2014 just got hotter now that the company has accidentally revealed a poster for Summerslam 2014, which features what looks like a main event match between Cena and Brock Lesnar. There has been speculations over the last couple of months that when the former UFC champion makes his return to WWE, he would be thrown into a title program.
June 25, 2014
Some bad news for those of you that hate John Cena. Rumors are pointing to him being at the head of the line as the next WWE champion. Cena is expected to win the title at Money in the Bank 2014. The belief is that the company wants to put the title back around the waist of their most proven draw. If Cena wins the belt again, potential feuds include Bray Wyatt, Brock Lesnar and Daniel Bryan.
June 22, 2014
Since his feud with John Cena cannot go on forever, fans have naturally wondered who WWE was going to have Bray Wyatt feuding against next. There hasn't been any clear indications on Monday Night Raw or Smackdown as to who he will transition into a program with, but rumors are floating around right now that it could be Sheamus. The two of them are scheduled to work against one another on an upcoming tour of Australia, so that could be what WWE has in mind.
June 20, 2014
"He is a pro. He comes to work everyday. He is straight forward and tells you exactly what it is. One of my things was I didn't get to work a match with him. I would have dropped the weight I did and keep the muscle I have. He is a great leader in terms of he talks it; he walks it. He is the face of the WWE and likely so. John Cena gave us all an opportunity to train and have the same training regiment. The training of the NBA and NFL with Olympic lifts for maintenance, for power, better cardiovascular. He was on the forefront. He gave guys an opportunity." - Brodus Clay defending John Cena
June 19, 2014
A peculiar thing happened on Twitter recently. John Cena praised Alex Riley for his work on commentary when the latter made a reference to the Major League movie. While this would normally seem like something minor, it actually comes as a shock to those that believe the rumors that Cena was the reason why Riley lost his push. There reportedly was backstage heat between the two.
June 18, 2014
A somewhat interesting thing took place backstage at Monday Night Raw this week. Naomi Knight took a picture of herself with Kevin Hart and uploaded it to Instagram. However, the WWE diva made the mistake of including John Cena and Kane, who are fighting in the story line, in the background. Luckily, she was able to remove and edit the photo before management caught on.
June 17, 2014
Rumors going around right now has WWE giving the world heavyweight championship to a heel at Money in the Bank 2014. The belief is that the company will set someone up to feud with John Cena and Daniel Bryan over the next few months. Antonio Cesaro has been rumored for a few weeks now, but some are skeptical of that because he hasn't been given a ton of momentum by WWE. Management will either hot shot the belt to Bray Wyatt or go with the safe route in Randy Orton.
June 16, 2014
A picture of a promotional poster for the upcoming WWE 2K15 video game, and it features John Cena, Bray Wyatt, Hulk Hogan and Antonio Cesaro, leading to rumors that these are the first four performers to be confirmed for the roster.
June 11, 2014
One of the ideas being tossed around backstage in WWE is to utilize Rob Van Dam as an opponent for Alexander Rusev, who has been tearing through the lower card division. RVD still has some name value and a bit of a connection with the audience, so he can provide the newcomer with some much needed credibility before heading into a feud with John Cena down the line.
June 10, 2014
Over the weekend, John Cena was injured during his match against Bray Wyatt, who delivered some headbutts that were a bit more stiff than they needed to be. WWE immediately took steps to protect one of their most valuable assets by changing the main event of the following event. Cena was teamed up with Jimmy Uso and Jey Uso in a six man tag team match against Wyatt, Luke Harper and Erick Rowan instead.
June 9, 2014
While there are talks of shotgunning him into a big time program with John Cena, it appears that there are some backstage in WWE that are pushing upper management to ease the gas pedal a bit on the Rusev push. Rumors are floating around that the company could utilize Mark Henry as his next opponent, as his status as a former world champion could help add credibility to the Bulgarian character. A match between the two is reportedly penciled in for Money in the Bank 2014.

One Direction fans are thrilled that their boys will be on the big screen next summer in a new 3D movie directed by noted filmmaker Morgan Spurlock . But the 1D guys are happy that there'll be someone documenting their every move -- so they don't have to do it.
Speaking to MTV, Liam Payne said, "When we left home to do X Factor , our parents were like 'Make sure you take loads of pictures,' but we've got a film to do that for us now so we can be lazy." All kidding aside, though, Louis Tomlinson says the movie will make a great time capsule of the most exciting time of their lives.
"It's going to be amazing for us to look on in like however many years and just be like 'This is when I was a lad,'" Louis told MTV.
As for what the movie will be like, Niall Horan predicts, "It's going to be a concert movie, but with [more of] a documentary side than concert side. We [want] to...get our personalities across. Because the fans know us, but we want them to know us deeper."
The as-yet untitled One Direction film will be in theaters August 30.

Arlington, TX—Filling in for an injured Felix Jones, DeMarco Murray erupted for a franchise-best 253 yards rushing as Dallas dispatched St. Louis, 34-7, at Cowboys Stadium.
Murray eclipsed the old single-game mark of 237, set by Emmitt Smith on a rainy October 31, 1993 in Philadelphia. He also set a new rookie record for yards on the ground in one contest, snapping Tony Dorsett's previously-held record of 206 yards, accomplished on December 4, 1977 -- also in Philly.
It took the pressure off Tony Romo, who threw for 166 yards and two touchdowns on just 14-of-24 completions for the Cowboys (3-3), whose season-high in points helped snap a two-game skid.
Subbing for injured starter Sam Bradford, A.J. Feeley finished 20-of-33 for 196 yards and an interception for the Rams (0-6), who have dropped nine of their last 10 dating back to last December.
Steven Jackson posted 70 yards -- including his team's lone score -- on 18 carries. Brandon Lloyd clocked in with 74 yards on six catches in defeat.
