I received this watch as a gift after admiring a friend's silver version. Love the black as it goes great with dress clothes or just a t-shirt and jeans. Keeps great time and I get tons of compliments on it.
Very good watch, radio controlled so that your time is always accurate.
I order this watch for my fiance and I really loved the watch itself. The only problem I had was that it arrived it a worn out citizen box. It looks rather beat up which made the watch seem cheap even though it isn't. Ignoring the presentation of the watch, the watch itself is really nice. It is solid and large (but not too large) and I think it can be worn with jeans or dressed up.

Java Smart Client HTTP Basic Authentication - Not Possible?
I'm using the Membase Java Smart Client, which I believe accesses the REST API on port 8080 to provide memcached cluster access.
I want to turn on HTTP Basic Authentication for my Admin Console, however when doing so I get errors connecting the Smart Client. It seems that setting Authentication for the Admin Console also sets it for the REST API. However, I cannot find a way to get the Smart Client to use HTTP Basic authentication.
Setting the username and userpassword on the ClientManager doesn't work. It appears that those credentials relate to the bucket access not the REST API access.
Am I missing something, or is simply not possible to do this in the current version?
Yes, the Java smart client does use HTTP Basic Auth. If you use the appropriate constructor for the bucket you're accessing, it will automatically do HTTP Basic Auth against the cluster. The only situation where it won't is if you're using the "default" bucket, which is available without authentication.
What kind of constructor are you using with the ClientManager? What kind of errors are you getting?
Thanks for the reply.
I have no trouble connecting to a specific bucket using the ClientManager constructor. Both the simple and bucket specific constructors work so long as the Admin Console does not have any security set. So yes the smart client uses HTTP Basic Auth for bucket access (where the username and password is same as the bucket name), that's fine.
My problem is that when a security username and password is set on the Admin Console and restart my client app Java smart client access stops working. It cannot access [url]http://localhost:8080/pools/default[/url] (regardless of the ClientManager constructor used).
The admin security is set at the url:
The constructor code is:
ArrayList baseList = new ArrayList();
URI base = new URI("http://localhost:8080/pools/default");
ClientManager manager = new ClientManager(baseList, "bucket1", "bucket1");
MemcachedClient client = manager.getClient();
The error message is:
java.io.IOException: No valid base URIs have been provided.
at com.northscale.store.ClientManager.tryReadBase(ClientManager.java:624) [northscale_client-1.0.2.jar:na]

Reader Comments (Page 1 of 1)
That always got me, work, 99% of the time, is not fun. So why would I want to approach my hobby as work? I tried being a hardcore raider, it was tedious and far to much like having a second job.
When it boils down to it, I really don't give a toss if I'm more geared than anyone else, or if I'm the best, or 1337, or any of that. Its a game, to approach it in any other way (unless you somehow find a way to make your living off of it) is rather unhealthy. Nothing in this game matters one bit, except, maybe, the people you interact with.

Welcome to Rotary!
Rotarians are business and civic leaders who have strong ethical beliefs, dedicated to service projects that benefit our communities locally and globally.
Chartered in June 2005 as one of Rotary's newest clubs, the Lewis Center/Polaris Rotary serves Lewis Center, Ohio, Orange Township and the Polaris Commerce Center.
Leadership Development
Team building, planning, organization, fundraising and communication are just a sampling of the leadership skills that club members can exercise and enhance. Being a Rotary leader provides further experience in learning how to motivate, inspire, and guide others.
Service Opportunities
Club members have many opportunities for humanitarian service, both locally and internationally. Service programs address such concerns as health care, hunger, poverty, illiteracy, and the environment. Rotarians experience the fulfillment that comes from giving back to the community.
International Awareness
With more than 32,000 clubs in over 200 countries and geographical areas, Rotarians gain an understanding of humanitarian issues through international service projects and exchange programs. One of Rotary's highest objectives is to build goodwill and peace throughout the world.
Rotary was founded on fellowship, an ideal that remains a major attraction of membership today. Club members enjoy the camaraderie with like-minded men and women, and club projects offer additional opportunities to develop enduring friendships. Rotary club members who travel have friendly contacts in almost every city in the world.
Good Citizenship
Weekly Rotary club programs keep members informed about what is taking place in the community, nation, and world and motivated to make a difference.
Family Foundations
Rotary sponsors some of the world's largest youth exchange, educational exchange, and scholarship programs. Rotary clubs provide innovative training opportunities and mentoring for young leaders and involve family members in a wide range of social and service activities.
Social activities give Rotarians a chance to let loose and have fun. Every Rotary club and district hosts activities that offer diversions from today's demanding professional and personal schedules. Conferences, conventions, assemblies, and social events provide entertainment as well as Rotary information, education, and service.
Ethical Environment
Encouraging high ethical standards in one's profession and respect for all worthy vocations has been a hallmark of Rotary from its earliest days. In their business and professional lives, Rotarians abide by The Four-Way Test:
Of the things we think, say or do:
- Is it the TRUTH?
- Is it FAIR to all concerned?
- Will it BUILD GOODWILL and BETTER FRIENDSHIPS?
- Will it be BENEFICIAL to all concerned?
Professional Networking
A founding principle of Rotary was to meet periodically to enjoy camaraderie and enlarge one's circle of business and professional acquaintances.

Hands-On Faith - Week of November 4, 2013
Hands-on Faith for Families
Week of November 4, 2013
A Free Gift
Play: Choose three activities for your kids to do (pat head while rubbing stomach, spell name backward, and so on). Reward one treat for each success. Then offer your children a single, better treat. Say, "To get this you have to . . . do nothing."
Talk: We can't earn salvation, so we can't brag about it (Ephesians 2:8-9). God gives us eternal life only because of His grace, not because we deserve it. It's not a reward for those who read their Bible or pray the most. God offers salvation through Jesus to everyone who believes and accepts His gift. How would you feel if you lovingly gave a gift to someone who insisted on paying for it?
Prayer: Thank God for making eternal life a free gift.

A moody tavern. An extraordinary cocktail. The easy lapping of bay water against the banks of the Inner Harbor. Duckpin lanes. Old Bay. Art in an otherwise empty storefront.

James Clack: Pepperoni and pineapple pizza at Matthew's Pizza( Jed Kirschbaum, Baltimore Sun / January 21, 2010 )
James Clack, Baltimore City fire chief
"It was one of the first places recommended to me when I got into town, and we've been back there probably two dozen times in two years. I love getting pepperoni and pineapple. It probably is supposed to be ham and pineapple. But I love the pizza at Matthew's. It's good, fresh ingredients and it tastes good. My youngest daughter shares that preference." 3131 Eastern Ave. | 410-276-8755 | matthewspizza.com

Wisconsin's Coercive and Web Cam Abortion Prevention Act

Doctrine Jeans/ Slim Straight/Size 32
I had never heard of this denim brand before but after wearing them I am quickly becoming a huge fan. I really like this particular pair of denim from Doctrine because of the straight leg fit. These are the best fitting pair of jeans that I have ever tried on. It's like this denim was forged from my body. I also like the wash of the denim. It is a very dark and versatile wash making them an acceptable for a vast array of occasions. The first thing I noticed about this pair of denim was definitely the pocket. This type of pocket is one you normally see on slacks making this denim unique. If you have not heard of this brand I strongly recommend that you familiarize yourself with the next big thing!
I Styled this denim with a light blue striped T from Life After Denim and layered it with a nice clean while button up. The thing I liked most about this look was how I could see the stripes of my undershirt through the button up from Life After Denim. This would definitely be my look if I were going onto a sailboat or yacht. The whole look is just a classy look that will leave everyone jealous of the best dressed man on the boat…YOU

Book Review: Archie Meets Nero Wolfe
When Rex Stout took paper to pen to write the first Nero Wolfe story, the house hold at the old Brownstone was all ready mostly established. On the heels of the Maltese Falcon prequel Spade and Archer, Robert Goldsborough, author of seven Nero Wolfe books from the 1980s and 90s sets down the account of the first meeting between Wolfe and Goodwin guided by clues Stout left in his novels.
Goldsborough anchors the story in the 1920s which is a departure as Wolfe stories have always been set in the "present" but a story of a beginning requires a certain timeframe. The book begins when Archie arrives in New York, gets a night watchman's job and has no choice but to shoot two thugs. Even though, his decision was appropriate, he was fired by upper management concerned about trigger-happy guards. However, Archie finds his ideal career when he snags a job at the Bascom detective agency.
Bascom is brought on a kidnapping case along with some other operatives including the ever-familiar Orrie Cather, Fred Durkin, and Saul Panzer. The initial goal is to merely ensure the safe return of the boy, who is the son of a wealthy New Yorker. But having done that, Wolfe is determined to catch the kidnappers. To facilitate this, Archie goes to undercover as the boy's bodyguard in hopes of uncovering some information that Wolfe can use to solve the case.
The book's strong point is its overall narrative that tells of the beginning of Archie Goodwin's legendary career and his first encounters with some of his best known associates and foils include Cramer, Stebbins, and the the detectives who worked with Wolfe and Goodwin the most including the teers as well as the less used Bill Gore and Del Bascom. We get to see them a bit more than we would in a typical Wolfe yarn. While the mystery is not earth-shattering, it's fair and the resolution is handled well in typical Wolfe fashion.
The weak point in the story is that Nero Wolfe doesn't sound quite sound like himself and Archie sounds nothing like himself. Usually, Goldsborough's portrayal of Wolfe was close enough usually but a few times sounded dissonant. Perhaps, the most jarring section was when Wolfe made the statement that prohibition laws were wrong because they were attempting to "legislate morality." However, you feel about "legislating morality," it's become a modern cliche and Nero Wolfe certainly never spoke in cliches. In addition, one Amazon review points out that Wolfe used "infer" as a synonym for "imply," something that Wolfe would never do.
It's even worse with Archie Goodwin. It would be unreasonable to expect a 19 year old fresh out of Ohio to sound the veteran New York Private eye Rex Stout wrote about for 40 years. However, there wasn't even a hint. This Archie Goodwin is a completely serious and respectful young man who helps to teach the father of the kidnapped the importance of spending time with this boy. To imagine this character developing into a wise cracking lady's man seems almost beyond belief. Whatever can be said of the corrupting influence of a big city or a big city changing someone, the change necessary in Goodwin is too incredible.
Overall, the story lacked the fun of the Stout Wolfe books. However, it answers a lot of questions fans have had about the characters particularly the lesser known ones and provides some satisfaction and Nero Wolfe is still mostly himself. Overall, this could have been a great book if Goldsborough had done a better job of capturing the essence of Stout's characters particularly young Archie Goodwin. As it was, it was only a fair-to-good one.

BOSTON — The defending Stanley Cup champion Boston Bruins took to the TD Garden ice for the first time since their Game 6 win over Vancouver, defeating the New York Islanders on Friday night in a comeback 6-3 victory in their second preseason game.
Centerman Rich Peverley led the Bruins attack in their third-period comeback with three points, including an unassisted goal with four minutes remaining.
That was not the only good news for followers of hockey in Boston, as former Harvard defenseman Dylan Reese lit the lamp for two goals in the first period, despite his team going down in defeat.
The Islanders took the lead at just 1:07 of the period as Reese beat goaltender Tim Thomas on the first shot of the game, a long and hard slap shot from near the blue line. Reese doubled New York's lead at 18:18 as he took a snapper from the left post that beat Thomas for a 2-0 buffer. Reese saw 17:17 of ice time in the game for the Isles, who were backstopped by former Boston University product Rick DePietro for 40 minutes.
In 121 career games over four seasons with the Crimson, Reese scored 21 goals and 61 points. He was selected in the seventh round (209th overall) of the 2003 Draft while a freshman at Harvard.
Boston also received strong contributions from Patrice Bergeron, who potted a second-period goal and two assists.
His goal, coming at 9:21 of the middle period, tied the score at 2-2 and came after David Krejci's power play tally got the B's on the board.
Brad Marchand, who combined with Bergeron and Peverley as Boston's second line, also potted a goal at the 8:17 mark to put the Bruins ahead to stay as they ended up doubling the Islanders and outshooting them by a final count of 36-16.
Former Northeastern captain Tyler McNeely, who graduated last season after the Huskies' run to the Hockey East semifinals, saw 14:15 of ice time in the game, but he was held off the scoresheet.
The Bruins practice early on Saturday at the Garden before returning to game action on Sunday for the first of two games against Montreal. Sunday's contest will be played in Halifax, Nova Scotia, before a date at Bell Centre on Monday.

Very frustrated by their insisting on me giving them my photo id copies.
Buyers beware ! The raise.com requested me to give them my photo ID copy juts for a $500 value giftcard order,Of course I felt absolutely uncomfortable and denied it.I asked them why they insisted this, their answer is : this is the only thing they can accept.
So, I decided not to buy the $500 gift card from them. But....soon later I found out they suspended my account without noticing me at all , which means they probably do not really care if you can still shop on their website. Frankly speaking, this is truly the first time I 've heard an online website asked buyers with absolutely normal credit card charged by them all the time, to provide a photo id copy. Really ridiculous!! If you don't care about your personal ID security, then go ahead to give them your copy of photo ID just for few bucks savings through gift cards.

First time using Raise was a success!
I was a little leery with some of the reviews on here, but I tried it out and didn't have any problems. I bought a voucher and printed it out and used it the same day. No problems!

!! Horrible customer service. SCAM !! Stay away
I purchased the gift card from raise and it suppose arrive with 3-14days according from their policy. The gift card never arrived after waiting for 3 weeks. Contact the customer service to ask for refund but they told me to wait for the card to arrive. Never purchase from them again. Do not believe any of their Member Protection or Raise Guarantee. Just Scam

Sold me a gift card purchased with a stolen credit card.
The police contacted me today. They said the $250 gift card that I had bought from Raise.com on 4 weeks ago was purchased with a stolen credit card. So it looks like I'll have to return the goods I bought, and the retailer has forfeited the balance on the card. Raise.com customer support is not receptive to my complaint. They say they're a broker not a seller. Apparently I bought the gift card from a third party, so it's my loss. How do I rate them less than 1/5 stars?

Excellent discount gift card site - Buy with confidence
I've been purchasing from Raise.com for over a month now and have been very pleased. I've purchased over $3,000 worth of gift cards. Out of the 30 or so gift cards, 3 of them had issues. A couple of them showed a valid balance, but the card wouldn't work during online checkout. Another one just didn't work at all; the card showed as invalid when checking the balance online. In all cases, Raise.com promptly responded (within 1-2 days) and refunded me the cost of the cards. It's worrisome when you get invalid cards, but they always honor their sales. I always buy with confidence when dealing with them.

Quick and easy - No CashBack this time
I bought a $100 Starbucks gift-card for $84, and then applied a promo code "SLICK60" for $5.00 off. Within 15 minutes I could access the gift card on their website and transfer the balance to my existing Starbucks registered Gold Card. Great deal. There was no cash back offered on this transaction, but that's ok.

Worked for me...1Jan14
I bought two $50 Starbucks egift/vouchers for $42 each. I received an order receipt email immediately. Within 30 minutes I had an order shipped email and another email with the codes that I had no problem adding to my existing card using the online balance transfer. Couldn't have been easier....

I was very skeptical after reading a lot of mixed reviews. I bought Cabela's e-gift cards and they were emailed to me within 40 minutes.
The Cabela's order went through with no problem.
I did pay with my credit card so I could dispute the charge if I encountered problems.

Gift cards for sale at a little bit of a discount allows me to have discounts at stores that normally don't give any!
Great company!

does not honor cash back from fatwallet
I've been using fatwallet since 2011 for cashback purchase and raise.com is the first store to deny a handful of my purchases claiming the referral came from another site.
I would be weary of using this site if you are expecting fatwallet cash back.

Beware your personal information!
Apparently this may be obvious to some - but it wasn't to me until I actually received my gift card. Raise only brokers a deal between buyer and seller, they do not purchase the cards and then re-sell them.
When you buy a card from them it will be shipped to you directly from the buyer. This means a 3rd party will be given your contact information. They will ship it off a pre-paid label they print from Raise. This label has Raise.com as the return address. In other words, the seller gets your information, but you don't get the sellers. They refuse to disclose seller's info to buyer, but don't have a problem the other way around.
It wouldn't have made a difference to me if they actually stated this in the process of buying a GC, but they do a good job of obscuring this detail. It bothers me after the fact since they don't disclose it. If it bothers you, don't order from them.
I did get a great deal on a GC (16% off), but I'm perturbed at their policies.
5 stars
So far so good
Have made four purchases and all have gone through flawlessly. I was a bit skeptical at first, but it worked out.
1 stars
Glitchy website and poor customer service.
The cart said $69 total with a $5 coupon code. Was charged $74 to my credit card and raise refused to give $5 credit to a previous customer! Ridiculous.
5 stars
Never had a gift card fail from them
I've bought many egift cards and a few plastic cards and none have been a problem. the printouts look odd, but the merchant I used them at didn't even flinch. They were accustomed to seeing them it seemed. It was inconvenient that they had to type in the code and PIN for each instead of quickly being able to scan a barcode. And, some would go through as coupon/rebate and others as gift cards.
But, no problem with any, and I've probably gone through 15 or more in the past year.

Review: Beginning Python Visualization
Python is a powerful programming language that's good for a lot of things. I mainly use it for data scraping, parsing, munging, etc, and more recently, for the Web, and I've left visualization up to other languages.
But why not use Python for visualization too? That way you can have everything in one language and all the gears can fit together a little easier. Beginning Python Visualization (BPV) by Shai Vaingast is a guide to help you do this.
While you might need a little bit of programming experience to fully make use of this book, Vaingast provides plenty of examples and explanations for you to easily learn how to use Python's visualization options.
What Beginning Python Visualization Covers
I should back up a little bit first. BPV doesn't just cover the actual visualization options. It starts from the very beginning (well, close to it at least) - at the data. It goes into some about how to collect data and then goes deeper into reading, parsing, and formatting your data once you've got it.
There are a lot of online tutorials on how to do that stuff, but it was good to have everything in one place and to find out the right way to do things from an expert.
After the data munging section, BPV gets into the visualization topics you'd expect. It starts with your basic graphs and how to draw in Python. It then covers more scientific visualization with splines, interpolation, and some signal processing.
You can look at the table of contents on the Amazon page for more details on book content.
Who this is For
BPV is for a semi-technical audience. If you have absolutely no programming experience, then this book probably isn't for you.
My main reason for saying this is not because the examples are confusing - they're pretty straightforward; rather, a lot of the code and explanations in BPV rely on Python packages like SciPy, NumPy, and Matplotlib. That means you have to install these before you can go through the examples, which took a while for me to get working, but maybe that's just me.
The Bottom Line
Once I got the packages installed correctly though, it was smooth sailing. Everything is explained clearly, and I'm sure I'll be referring back to it as I use Python more.
Bottom line: If you're a coding beginner, this book could be useful to you if you can get someone to install a few Python packages on your system. If you do know a little bit of Python though and want to use it to visualize data, Beginning Python Visualization is a good book to have that can serve as a guide and a handy reference.
UPDATE: Get a free copy
Leave a comment below by this Sunday at 8pm EST, and I'll select someone at random for a free e-copy of Beginning Python Visualization. Make sure you use a valid email address so I can contact you if you win. Thanks, Apress!

Thanks! I had tried to order this but it was out of stock, now arriving in 3 days, hope the Amazon link rattles your tip jar.
There is an interesting interview at the Python411 podcast with the author.
Also, if people have trouble with installation of dependencies, they might try a program called Reinteract, which takes an interesting approach to python visualization — it renders images inline, alongside the interpreter. See reinteract.org.
Sounds like it might be worth checking out EPD: a cross-platform Python distribution that includes SciPy, NumPy, and powerful visualization tools such as Chaco (2D) and Mayavi (3D). It's also free for academic use…
thanks, i came across that a few times while going through documentation. it seems to be very highly recommended. but i decided to trudge through… it's amazing what we go through for the price of free.
Any book recommendations for the true beginner?
Hi, Barrett,
Mark Pilgrim has released Dive Into Python freely, and it's well-written. I've not really delved deeply, so take my impressions with a grain of salt. However, it seems fairly well-received.
(I think a previous comment along these lines might have been spam-trapped for excess links — here is a googleable version)
A great print book: "Core Python Programming" by Wesley Chun — author is a gifted teacher as well as programmer.
Some great free online resources:
"How to Think Like a Computer Scientist: Learning with Python" By Allen Downey of Olin College — really outstanding
"A Byte of Python"
The official Python tutorial
The tutorial section of Python411, google that or "awaretek python tutorials"
If you already have some fundamentals of programming you can read Mark Pilgrim's "Dive Into Python". It seems oriented towards people with C++ and Java backgrounds. It is a little heavy on things like xml and regular expressions for an introduction to programming, reflecting its original purpose.
Your time spent learning this stuff is insanely well invested, you will be amazed.
Statisticians, infographicists and data visualizers. You find new perspectives never thought possible.
Awesome! I'm just wrapping up a project that relied heavily on NumPy and Matplotlib. The documentation is pretty good but very, very scattered.
The book sounds cool, I want it!
So when you say "at the beginning" you are referring to someone who can barely spell programming, right?
sounds like a good one. would definitely like to win a copy!
I'd love to learn more with Python. I'm also in the market to find some step-by-step examples of how to build standard Django applications, more examples than are in Django Book. Any suggestions?
Looks interesting. I recall working with visualizations in NodeBox a while back which used Python. It was fun and easy.
Choose me at random!
I've had my eye on this book since I first heard about it. Be nice to have my very own copy. :)
Cool, there are already lot of books out there in bookshelf, visualization using R, ggplot, ggboi, processing and hope to read this one by end of this year!!!!!!!!!!!
I want it! but I'll prefer in Ruby instead of Python :-D
Thanks. The book sounds very useful to me.
Cool contest ;)
Perl or Python… why not both? ;) Thanks for the contest, crossing my fingers….
Nice book,even I would prefer ruby over
i like free books.
I've been looking for an excuse to learn Python anyway..
I can learns python? kthnxbai
But seriously will probably pick this up anyway. Thanks for the tip.
I would really like to get more into visualization, so I would like to see what Python has to offer.
Reviews on books are a great help when some of us don't have a good technical bookstore nearby.
Always looking to learn a bit more!
This looks phenomenal! Thanks for the review.
Does the book cover integration with Sage or R?
free book, please.
random drawings are fun…
interesting book.
Sounds like an awesome book. I hope I can win one all else fails I pick it up. It always nice to have a ref about data mining.
Although it sounds a useful book for a lot of people I wish that authors–or is it publishers?–would not assume that we all need introducing to basics in every book that we buy.
Thanks very much for providing the review.
Cool. How do I get to random so I can be selected for the free e-book?
Never used Python before, might be worth taking a look at.
A free copy of this book would make my heart sing. Sing, I say!
I hearts me some Python. And data. And visualization.
Will you be using an algorithm within Python to make the random selection? +)
Also, in the same vein, you may try the Sage project, which makes excellent use of Python to provide a common interface to Maxima, NumPy, SciPy, Matplotlib, as well as Maple, Mathematica, and other commercial ventures. Additionally, the Sage developers have built their own procedures and function groups. All of the open-source pieces noted above are bundled in a single install, with very minimal fuss.
From the 4.01 release notes:
In version 4.0.1, doctest coverage increased by 0.3%, while an additional 177 functions have been added. The overall weighted coverage score is now at 77.2% and the total number of functions is at 21,988.
21,988. Nice.
I've been looking for a good text on this subject…sign me up!
A comment for a book! congrats to who wins.
I'm a little surprised that you had trouble installing the dependencies. Have you tried to install from source? There are binary packages for Linux and Windows that make installing very easy, I'm not sure how it would be on a Mac, though. Besides EPD, suggested above, there is also Python(x,y) (pythonxy.com) that bundles python, scipy, mayavi, etc in one package.
I wonder how useful the book would be for someone already familiar with matplotlib and scipy. Scipy documentation is very sketchy in some places, so the book might be valuable even for those.
It was mostly because I've been using Apple's packaged Python, and Scipy binary wanted the system version. So I tried installing from source to get around installing Python, but that sorta sucked. So after fussing with that, I had to get all my paths and dependencies straightened out.
But yeah, once I took care of that, I think all of the binary packages took care of things. I don't remember exactly. It was late :P
I'm just starting to use numpy and scipy.
Sounds like a good book!
Awesome. I'm in :) Yay for Python and visualizations.
I am in
Good book review. I'll have to take a deeper look. Python is definitely a great language. I was going to start with NetworkX, but the book seems like it might be good primer before diving directly into a data visualization package.
I haven't used python since taking an introductory CS class…maybe I should revisit it!
love python, just getting into the visualization stuff now. looks like a good book!
interesting, I would also like to take a look at a sample chapter
I've been waiting for a book like this. I use Python at work and for personal work every day. Doing visualizations of quantitative data collected from HCI experiments is so much easier in Python than any other language. I've never really gotten into matplotlib though. This book could be the start of a beautiful relationship :)
Yay Python. Rock on.
Not a strong programmer so would be a good help. cheers!
Flicked through the table of contents – looks great! As an engineer/scientist I made the plunge a couple of years ago and switched from Matlab to python. As a user, it's been great to see the python scientific stuff develop into a mature and stable product suite. The ONE gripe I have at the moment is 3D plotting – 2D is awesome with matplotlib, and mayavi/VTK etc. looks great for fancy 3D stuff, but if I just want to draw up a quick 3D surface from a numpy array, it takes way too much effort.
Also, I stumbled across python(x,y) recently – makes installing a VTK based visualisation system a heck of a lot easier than it used to be (I tried on windows a while ago, and gave up with unmet package dependencies etc.).
Sounds great – will definitely check it out!
Count me in for the free book drawing!
Looks like an interesting book. Thanks for pointing it out!
I want this book!
Seems like an interesting book..
I like that so many books are coming out now with a practical bent that also address the fundamentals. I've been eyeing Gnuplot In Action from Manning; but this sounds cool too.
The challenge for enterprise users is always getting everything together if it isn't batteries included (IT frowns on these things).
Hmmmm I'm interested.
I need this book.
Are there any examples of python visualizations somewhere, perhaps on a website or gallery?
http://matplotlib.sourceforge.net/gallery.html has a pretty good gallery to show off the capabilities of matplotlib, the python 2D plotting library
I would love a copy of this book!
That'd be funny if one of your comments was the one you select :)
Looks like an interesting book, would love to check it out

Review: Please GiveStory | Mar 5, 2010 | 8:37 PMPlease Give opens with a close-up montage of breasts — of all colors, shapes and sizes — undergoing mammograms. Although antiseptic and sufficiently unerotic, the succession of shots is still a jarring prologue to the fourth film by Nicole Holofcener, indie-film chronicler of the domestic and social mores of middle-class women. The context for it is story-specific — one of the main characters, Rebecca (Rebecca Hall), works as a radiology technician. While suggesting the possibility of breast cancer, the shots serve a dual purpose to provide a lingering sense of dread in a film that subtly, even humorously, suggests the impermanence of things, life included. The way Holofcener films her most moving scenes, characters don't die so much as fade away, like fuzzy memories or age-old photographs.

Memories Make Us2 Reviews
"A life's worth of yesterdays forming an eternity of tomorrows." FRERARD one-shot. Read, review, rate and feel my love! :P
The most precious thing that a human mind can possess. Those tiny flickers of gold and coal dotting our souls, deciding whether we turn out as a sparkling gem or as a worthless piece of dirt buried under the ground that nobody cares about. They shape who we are, how we react, what we think.
For example, if I see a dog I think that it's cute and immediately want to cuddle it because dogs remind me of my childhood, of memories associated with the kind of fun that us teenagers rarely ever feel. But if my next door neighbour catches sight of a dog, the odds are she'll scream because she has memories of being attacked by a German Shepherd at age eight.
See? Two very different reactions to the same thing all because of memories. A life's worth of yesterdays forming an eternity of tomorrows.
Everything that happens creates a new memory and every new memory starts working it's devious way into our mind, forming thoughts that will end up spawning more memories and thus the cycle continues.
It was a memory that led me, Frank Iero, to the boy who I hope to be forming all of my tomorrows with. Gerard Way.
I can remember when I first saw him at school. It was a Wednesday in April, rain pattering on the roof like a thousand dancers twirling to the rhythm of a Jersey traffic jam, and it was in the morning, before the first bell had even rang out through the bustling corridors of serpent-like students waiting to pick their prey. It was my first day and, after having seen the head of the football team eying my homemade "homophobia is gay" t-shirt as though he was taking personal offence, I had decided to hide in the boys' restroom. An action that was founded on memories of why I had moved schools in the first place; bullying. And I wasn't about to let it start all over again, I couldn't put my mom or myself through that. Gee had been in there, a pre-school cigarette hanging from his lips and he offered me one. A memory of how much I liked my first a few months ago spurring me on to take it and for me to introduce myself.
I can remember when Gee took me to his house for the first time, a house that now seems more like a home than my own is because of the memories I have built inside those sturdy walls of all that I love. It was that same Wednesday I met him, he invited me over after spending the day basically being my bodyguard, apparently liking the fact that I'm always the so-called "lovable underdog". Turned out we have the same taste in music thanks to memories of our parents playing old records to us from an early age and also, as I found out that same night, turned out that we're both gay. A fact that neither of us were aware of until we decided to play Truth or Dare with Gerard's little brother, the younger Way using memories of other games for inspiration and daring Gee to kiss me. It only had to be a peck. It was electric, fusing a new favourite memory to the front of my mind; one that influenced me catch him off-guard and swallow up his mouth just as he started to pull away.
I can remember when we had a pillow fight in his basement bedroom at three o'clock in the morning on a Saturday. I was too scared to sleep, thanks to the memories of some stupid horror movie Gee had insisted on watching, and so Gerard had decided that the best way to combat the problem was to have a pillow war. It worked too, the energetic game both wearing me out and the way his face lit up every time he scored a hit making me too happy to care about Freddie Krueger coming to get me in my sleep. The fact that he was cuddling me when I fell to sleep, proclaiming that he'd protect me from even a giant spikey needle, just made sleep seem even sweeter because I'd wake up with the memory of having slept in Gee's arms.
I can remember when he asked me to be his and I agreed, on the condition that he would be mine. It was two months and five days, I remembered to keep count, after we first met each other in the grotty restroom that gleamed with the opportunity for a million new memories. We were armed with memories of night-time cuddles and shy kisses telling us that we belong together. He took me to the pond by the park to ask me, saying that the place was full of so many happy memories that he couldn't think of a better place for the happiest yet to take place. Needless to say, I agreed without any form of hesitation, and he told me that I was his first ever kiss. That first ever memory of lips on lips, sealing an everlasting promise of first love. He wasn't my first, but he was definitely the first to make an effective memory that changed my future.
I can remember when he won me a goldfish at a travelling fair in the heat of a sweltering summer night. He knew from memory that I hated the idea of animals being caged up, used for amusement, as a money-making gimmick on some cheap side-stall. So he played the game, picked the most golden goldfish there was and took me back to that pond. The pond that became ours because it holds the first memory of us being Us. And we set the goldfish free in it, giving it it's first memory of true life outside of a small plastic bag.
I can remember all of the times that he's told me he loves me. Just like he can remember all of the times I've said it back, the both of us meaning it every single time.
Because it's what our memories have taught us.
A/N: Thanks for reading, I hope that this was alright. I wrote it based around the word "memories" and tried my hardest to make it as interesting as possible, even if it did turn out as one big cliché. Oh well, I hope you enjoyed it! Reviews and rates make me smile! :) :D :)

Pregnant Woman Hit by Car While Fleeing from Bear
Associated Press: A pregnant woman who was fleeing a bear when she was struck by a slow-moving car said she would honor the euthanized animal by giving her baby the middle name "Bear."
As she ran, she thought, "If it was going to hurt me, it already would have."
Swendsen managed to scramble up an embankment and was crossing the street when she was hit by a slow-moving car. Although she was not seriously injured, she was taken to a hospital as a precaution because she was pregnant.
Police said they're looking for the driver of the car that hit Swendsen. The driver stopped and spoke to her but left before police arrived.
Swendsen said she first spotted the bear as it was coming out of a creek.
"I didn't know what to do, so I just kept walking," she said. "I wasn't going to start sprinting."
But she started running when the bear moved toward her.
The Colorado Division of Wildlife said the chase happened in an area where bears are common. Division spokesman Michael Seraphin said the brown-colored North American black bear was tranquilized and later euthanized after Swendsen identified it.
Swendsen said she was sad to hear about the bear's death.
"Yeah, because the bear spared me, and then it had to die," she said.
Swendsen, who is about five months pregnant, said she doesn't know the sex of her baby but will give it the middle name "Bear" whether it's a boy or a girl.

I don't understand why they euthanized the bear. They could have simply moved it to deeper woods. I'm not a fanatic PETA person, but I do think that euthanizing animals who are just behaving normally in their natural environment should be left alone. It's us humans who need to have more respect for wildlife. SMH
It sounds like he was more a curious bear than a violent one. Surely if wanted to he could have outrun a pregnant woman. Couldn't they have relocated the bear or had a zoo adopt him?? Jeeze
In my town a girl got to be in the paper because she found some coyote pups. They didn't run in the paper the part where they have them all euthanized because they were "pests" living too close to people.
Why did they have to kill it? This is outrageous considering he didn't even become aggressive with anyone!
What the heck did they kill the bear for?! It didn't even attack her! This is outrageous!

8 notes ♥ January 13th @ 2:49 am
Today was lovely. We literally did nothing. We sat with her family for a bit until they went to bed. Then we just spent like 4 hours bumming. We cuddled. Kissed. Watched shows. And then we just talked; about our dreams, about other people, about anything really. And we can just sit there and talk for hours and hours. We just fit together so well. Wouldn't trade this girl for the world._

It's All About Presentation (Mostly)As more and more people start taking pictures of their nether regions on their iphones or posing myspace style in front of their HTC's - the competitive world of getting a Daily Deviation gets just that much harder... I kid. But... daily, I am bombarded with awesome suggestions (which I love) and I'm not complaining about. But there has to be a criteria of sorts, that sets an image above the rest. Here are a few things I look for that you might not have noticed before... The first thing I look at when I stumble across an image or view a suggestion from somebody, is how the artist has presented their work to the deviantART Community.
Your image isn't everything. Not anymore. In the past I have given Daily Deviations to pieces with titles that are a combination of random letters and numbers, or that are very obviously still the source file title - or that tends to be just a keyboard mash-up. Everyday CVs are sent many many notes suggesting pieces o
Photography Troubleshooting: Dull Images on dA?After a long pause in which nobody seemed to have very many questions, we've got a very intriguing one which came up during the People & Portraits projecteducate week and it's something that has always played on my mind, and no doubt on yours too. Once again sine-out has provided a fantastic answer, so hopefully that will help somewhat in clearing this issue up. Have a question? Drop it on this article and we'll work on an answer!

they have been uploaded on deviantART... the color is more dead.. not so
alive..is this an issue?" ~ kayjensen
"Hi kayjensen, the issue your describing is most likely a colour profile issue. Colour profiles essentially describe how each colour is represented and there are different profiles for different purpose but mostly for getting accurate colour out of a printer or a screen.

"Which of my photographs is my favorite?

I'm loving jars this month. I'm not sure why, other than the fact that I saw some set up at a craft fair that I had a table at, and I just fell in love with them. A couple of large jars with some fairy lights nestled in them - the effect was immense. It was so simple too! Sadly the people weren't actually selling the lights, but once I'd made a little profit on my sales, I went over clutching my ten pound note and picked out a few. So I was delighted to see that on Flipboard today, there was an article exploring 19 great photos of jars. If you're stuck for inspiration, grab a jam jar (take the jam out first maybe) and start shooting. Shoot things through them, around them, in them - get creative! Jars are awesome.

"Creativity, like human life itself - begins in Darkness "
-Julia Cameron."
I read a very interesting article this week debating Photography Vs Literature and which one of the two tells us more. Of course there is always the element that a picture could be accompanied by words but neither aspect is enough to tell a whole story. But as the article says, Photography has become a universal constant in the world today and is accessible to nearly everybody. Yet many still believe that only pure narration can truly tell a story. What are your thoughts? As Photographers we can choose to limit what we tell or show with a photograph, we can even mislead. Can we convey more with words? Or more with an image? You could describe a person with words but never truly give an accurate picture of who they are visually without a photograph...

Weather Photography has always fascinated me - the weather in general does anyway, but capturing those changes, shifts in atmosphere and so on have always had me in awe. However when browsing the latest news within popular photography early this week I was stunned by an image that NASA had captured of hurricane Isaac as it lurked over the USA. I've been in a hurricane before, but it never felt as organised or precise as this image shows. This shows a smooth beautiful cloud formation. When below it's likely wreaking havoc and destroying lives. It's difficult to match the two together and contemplate them as the same thing. It's also incredible how we've advanced in terms of technology. This shot of Hurricane Isaac was captured at the end of a month in which images have been transferred from Mars. We, as a human rac

The other week, a piece of my writing was selected for a Daily Literature Deviation. If you're curious you can see the article here. I was humbled by that, but my reason for mentioning it in Photography Bi-weekly is that 0hgravity then highlighted a website to me that I found absolutely fascinating. It's soul purpose is to highlight Endangered Languages through Photography. 3170 lens are capturing the people who hold the key to the worlds most secret languages. Once again something like this highlights the complete and utter importance of Photography and reminds us of how far we've come, and how much we can do from mobile ph
Photography Troubleshooting: Capturing AutumnFor many Photographers, Autumn is now officially here and is one of the most exciting seasons to capture in terms of colour, change and vistas. Early morning mist, late afternoon sun, orange, red and golden hues - Autumn has a lot to offer in many countries. If you're like me, Autumn often arrives all at once and it can be tricky to know how to make the best of the season before it's over. A couple of days of high winds and rain can ruin the best Autumnal captures by ripping the leaves down before you've even got the chance to snap - so it's great to be prepared for the season.
Leading lines are particularly useful. Yet so many people quote ' Look for leading lines...' or 'You've captured the leading lines here perfectly' and really do we even know properly what they are? The purpose of a leading line is to draw a viewers eye into the photograph and then on a journey - through it. Think of it as a visual narrative. They can be intentional and ind

During November each year, Movember is responsible for the broken relationships between men and their razors. Donning their mustaches, these men raise vital funds and awareness for men's health - specifically prostate cancer.
Since its humble beginnings in Melbourne, Australia, Movember has grown to become a truly global movement inspiring more than 1.9 Million Mo Bros and Mo Sistas to participate with formal campaigns in Australia, New Zealand, the US, Canada, the UK, South Africa, Ireland, Finland, the Netherlands, Spain, Denmark, Norway, Belgium and the Czech Republic. In addition, Movember is aware of Mo Bros and Mo Sistas supporting the campaign and men's health cause across the globe, from Russia to Dubai, Hong Kong to Antarctica, Rio de Janeiro to Mumbai, and everywhere in between.
No matter the country or city, Movember will continue to work to change established habits and attitudes men have about their health, to ed

Lightscape / Night Sky
NPS collection
The National Park Service considers the night sky an intrinsic resource that needs protection, just like clean air, clean water and natural quiet.
Whitman Mission is located in a rural area with relatively dark night skies. Although the park itself is closed at night, park staff have taken various measures to reduce light pollution caused by the park. Light shields are used to direct light down rather than up into the night sky. Recessed lights also reduce the amount of light that escapes upward. Timers and motion sensors ensure that the parking lot and building exterior are lit when necessary, but limit the total amount of time these lights are on.
Did You Know?
Wagons used on the Oregon Trail had to carry nearly 2000 pounds of supplies. They traveled 2000 miles or more to the Oregon Country. Most wagons were pulled by oxen as they could eat the prairie grass and survive without lots of food for lengthy periods.

RICHMOND, Va. (AP) — An Orange County company that says it sells hot-dog vending carts is under investigation after consumers have reported that they paid for the carts online but never received them.
The Better Business Bureau in Central Virginia said Tuesday it has received more than a dozen complaints since August 2009 from around the country about a company that purports to operate from Barboursville under two names: Virginia Hot Dog Cart Company and New World Hot Dog Cart Company. The BBB says two individuals' names have been associated with the business: Carlos Rios and Carl Reading.
BBB chief executive Tom Gallagher says the carts were advertised on eBay for $1,500 and $4,300 but were never delivered.
Gallagher says his group plans to contact federal and county authorities.
