Why JPEG compression processes image by 8x8 blocks instead of applying Discrete Cosine Transform to the whole image?
8 X 8 was chosen after numerous experiments with other sizes.
The conclusions of experiments are: 1. Any matrices of sizes greater than 8 X 8 are harder to do mathematical operations (like transforms etc..) or not supported by hardware or take longer time. 2. Any matrices of sizes less than 8 X 8 dont have enough information to continue along with the pipeline. It results in bad quality of the compressed image.
Read, my blog, http://nboddula.blogspot.com/2013/05/image-compression-how-jpeg-works.html
Because, that would take "forever" to decode. I don't remember fully now, but I think you need at least as many coefficients as there are pixels in the block. If you code the whole image as a single block I think you need to, for every pixel, iterate through all the DCT coefficients.
I'm not very good at big O calculations but I guess the complexity would be O("forever"). ;-)
For modern video codecs I think they've started using 16x16 blocks instead.

Clock table COOL looking, but VERY difficult Patti from Winchester, VA on 12/29/2013 – Verified Buyer
Seriously considered returning this, but it was purchased on sale (thankfully), and then stored for quite some time prior to assembly. When we did assemble it-- it was VERY difficult. Ridiculously difficult. I could never had done it alone. To get the pieces together, my husband had to squeeze the legs to the point where we thought the table might break. As other reviewers stated, the holes are not properly sized. After the odyssey of assembling this table, THEN the hands of the clock were off and once every hour got stuck on top of each other. I bent and fixed them, but it was just one more irritant! Not sure I'd buy this again. For sure not without the sale. If you can handle the assembly, it's a nice finished piece.

A really cute table! Terri from Peoria, AZ on 12/09/2014 – Verified Buyer
This is a really cute table for the price. Don't expect a super high quality piece of furniture and you'll enjoy it too. It fits perfectly in my livingroom and goes great with the decor. My only real complaint is that there were no instructions included on how to put it together so, being Polish, I had a little trouble! Luckily my husband was able to get it right. It arrived very quickly and in two large boxes.

Nice Style and Look but poor Import Quality Robert from North Easton, MA on 01/07/2015 – Verified Buyer
Pros: The style is a nice copy of more expensive looking table clocks Looks very nice in the sitting area in my Master Bedroom Cons: The Quality is poor the metal frame work is just painted tubing not very strong and does not fit together well and the glass is not beleved just clear glass.Not a problem for me but it came with no assembly instruction and the legs don't line up

Table is OK for the price Christine from Silverdale, WA on 02/17/2015 – Verified Buyer
I was looking for a compact, inexpensive coffee table for a conversation area. This table is both compact and inexpensive, but isn't very well made. However, I was willing to sacrifice quality in order to spare expense. I am using this table is a conversation area that receives very infrequent use. I don't think that this table would be a good choice for an area that gets used daily.

Looks great but is poorly constructed Sandra from Lincoln, RI on 09/21/2014 – Verified Buyer
This coffee table looks great with that old world feel I was looking for, and is the perfect size for the seating arrangement in my professional office. However, it is poorly constructed and is very unstable. Just barely touching it makes it wobble so that it feels like it will just fall apart.

Real World Image Sharpening with Adobe Photoshop, Camera Raw, and Lightroom (Real World)by Bruce Fraser
Synopses & Reviews
Publisher Comments:
Just about every digital image requires sharpening since softness is inevitably introduced during the image digitizing process, and oftentimes with digital photography, images are sharpened badly. This second edition of the definitive book by the late Bruce Fraser teaches readers all they need to know about sharpening, including when to use it, why it's needed, how to use the camera's features, how to recognize an image that needs sharpening, how much to use, what's bad sharpening, and how to fix oversharpening.
Real World Image Sharpening with Adobe Photoshop, Camera Raw, and Lightroom, Second Edition is written by Fraser's friend and renowned photographer Jeff Schewe. It adds essential coverage of Adobe Photoshop Lightroom and Adobe Camera Raw, since many of the key sharpening functions have migrated from Photoshop to those tools since the first edition of the book was published.
The book shows readers how to: recognize the kind of sharpening that each image needs; become acquainted with the full arsenal of sharpening tools built into Photoshop, Lightroom, and Camera Raw; sharpen part of an image selectively; create a complete sharpening workflow that allows sharpening images optimally for different uses; balance the contradictory demands of sharpening and noise reduction; and more.
Book News Annotation:
Fraser (the late author of the first edition) and Schewe (a noted photographer) address the sharpening of digital image detail from a workflow process rather than a post-print perspective. They add coverage of Adobe Camera Raw and Lightroom, since many of the key sharpening functions have migrated from Photoshop to these tools. The guide shows readers how to recognize the kind of sharpening that each image needs; become familiar with the sharpening tools of these software; remedy over-sharpening; and create workflows for sharpening images optimally for different purposes. Trial access to an online edition of the book is included. Annotation ©2010 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)

"Been a Ford girl all my life until I started shopping for an SUV under $35,000. No other make has the comfort, quality, head and legroom, and styling of the GMC Terrain. I've owned it 2-1/2 years and still love everything about it. MPG in the 4-cylinder is fantastic and has plenty of power for the highway driving I do. 2 kids in car seats and the 65# dog all fit comfortably in the back."

I own this car - My approximate mileage is 36,700overall rating 8 of 10rating details
Pros: "Quiet, comfortable, spacious, easy to drive"
Cons: "Uncomfortable headrests, complicated controls"
Likely to recommend this car? (1-10): 4
"Overall I'm pretty happy with the Terrain. It handles very well, is quiet on the road, has a very comfortable ride, offers spacious room for four (even for my long-legged adult family members), and has comfortable, supportive seats and a good sound system (Pioneer 8-speaker premium system on my SLE-2). Previously I owned a 2003 Pontiac Aztec, which was more fun to drive. Not sure why, but I just felt more in control of the car. I loved the Aztec--I merely like the Terrain. It feels like a competent family car, and that is its mission in life I'm sure. Minor quibbles with the Terrain: Although the seats are reasonably supportive, with lumbar support, the front-seat headrests are tipped too far forward, hitting the back of my head and forcing me to tip my head forward which causes an aching neck. The only way to avoid this is to tilt the back rest one notch farther back than my back prefers. (The rear seats, however, are more comfortable and supportive than most cars', and because they are chair height, adults don't have to sit with their knees in the air.) The automatic ventilation system is hard to get right: it blows either hot or cold, never comfortable air; and the blower is weak and noisy. The sound system is too complicated to deal with while driving. A person should be able to switch from CD to radio with just a glance, but a bank of 15 or 20 buttons (for audio, phone, navigation, guage menus, etc.) requires too much study. But at least there's a knob for volume control! The other quibble is a matter of taste. Because of its blocky shape, I think the Terrain looks and feels bigger than it is. It drives like a big car rather than a compact. Gas mileage in the 4-cylinder is good but not great. The car is rated 22/32, but the best I have ever gotten on the highway is 31. My combined driving (about 1/2 city, half country) usually yields around 25 or 26 mpg. I'm not a lead-foot, but I do drive 70 on the highway. By the way, the 4-cylinder is surprisingly quiet , smooth, and responsive. It definitely has enough power for ordinary driving. I can't speak to its performance under heavy loads or towing. Overall a good, reliable car. I have had no mechanical issues at all (at 37,000 miles). Recommend it for small families, retired people, anyone needing easy entry-exit and comfort."

Pros: "Styling, seating position, space, amenities/price"
Cons: "under powered, lack-luster economy"
Likely to recommend this car? (1-10): 7
"Selected for styling and ride, but with over-arching intent to improve my mileage significantly. Was willing to forego responsiveness for economy, but this car is under-powered and not economical. At typical highway speeds it gets to 23-24 mpg. Far from the 30 claimed. The styling and comfort remain pros, and it is nicely appointed for the $."

"I traded me 2007 GMC YUKON XL in for a newer used 2010 GMC Terrain SLE. I am extremely frustrated with the fact that 6 months into this ownership, a GMC product had it's waveplate and transmission break. This vehicle only has 84,000 miles and feel that GMC has done an awful job in manufacturing transmissions!! $1000.00 in repairs later and I am now looking for a non-GMC product, since it has given me a reason to be concerned about the manufacture of these engines. I am now not EVER buying another GMC product!"

Likely to recommend this car? (1-10): 10
"Just completed a 5000+ mile trip in 8 days! What a comfortable vehicle w/excellent seats & very quiet. Do not buy the I-4 unless your strictly in city driving. The four is terrible in the west where some speed limits are 80 MPH. The vehicle will hardly hold 85 in the mts., even lightly loaded. It continually downshifts & struggled to get to the top of Pikes Peak - Sounds like an old bull snorting when pulling hard. It bear-tracks in snow. A VERY, VERY NICE VEHICLE IN ALL RESPECTS! Mileage was 27-28 on all highway driving. No idea what a V-6 would do but it would be worth the extra 120HP."

Ballroom Blitz: Former NFL running back Emmitt Smith won the 2006 Dancing With the Stars competition with his partner, Cheryl Burke. "With Emmitt, it's all about business with him. He wants to practice eight hours a day. He's a hard worker. And you know, we just get on with it," Burke told CNN's Larry King in Nov. 2006.

Auburn Tigers quarterback Cam Newton watches a replay of a touchdown run against the Chattanooga Mocs during a Nov. 6, 2010 game at Jordan-Hare Stadium in Auburn, Ala. Officials at Mississippi State University reported recently that someone claiming to represent Newton demanded $180,000 in exchange for enrolling at the school. Newton's father says he didn't want his son to attend Mississippi State because there he would be, "a rented mule."

While we do not know all the facts on the ground in Ferguson, we know that militarization on a national level can often do more harm than good. It has eroded trust between law enforcement and ordinary citizens, and it certainly hasn't eradicated the drug scourge from our communities.
Underlying marijuana prohibition is a familiar philosophy: to preserve social order and white supremacy and secure profits for an influential few, it is permissible, even advisable, to construct profit-bearing institutions of social control.
Aggressively punitive and extreme drug policies are steeped in racism. Inherent in the response to drug law enforcement is a biased approach and stark double standards in the perceived threat of drug use by marginalized people.
Imagine: A health crisis claiming over 16,000 lives each year. Then imagine a prescription drug that could be made widely accessible to save those lives, but isn't. Except, this is not a hypothetical situation.
Haring painted Crack is Wack without asking for permission. One morning, during the summer of 1986, he drove a rented van -- loaded with some ladders from his studio and some new fluorescent orange paint he had bought -- up to Harlem to paint.
The Los Angeles Police Department pioneered a high school drug bust operation in the 1970s. Under review in 2004, there was found to be no evidence that the program reduced drugs on school grounds, but there was found to be an increase of arrests in special needs students.

Until we alter our drug strategy, we can expect more murder and mayhem south of our border -- and greater numbers of immigrants fleeing north for safety.
In Tennessee, 26-year-old Mallory Loyola, a meth addict, recently became the first person arrested under a new state law that classifies taking illegal drugs while pregnant as an assault. Instead of recovering from childbirth and receiving proper medical care, Loyola was hauled off to jail.
After a U.S. Border Patrol agent in 2010 fatally shot a fleeing teenage drug smuggler twice in the back, a review by the Justice Department deemed the shooting death justified. But now that conclusion has been called into question by law enforcement officials.
Understanding or explaining the immigration "phenomenon" that drives Central Americans to the United States doesn't require major academic research or political philosophy theories, because it's a matter of incentives, a concept so characteristic to the human condition and so basic to the framework of economic theory.
The unaccompanied children arriving on our Southwest border are not causing an immigration crisis for Americans. Politicians, as usual, are sensationalizing the facts for their own partisan agendas.
It should be possible to say that we should continue with the movement toward the decriminalization of marijuana. And we should also be able to say that as we decriminalize, we should take every step possible to minimize the harm, since there is scientific evidence of the dangers of pot on adolescents and young adults.
According to the Controlled Substances Act, Eric Holder himself can reclassify anything on the list, with no more authority necessary than his own signature. Perhaps if Congress refuses to act, Holder (or Obama) will make this change on his own. That, more than a Times editorial, might more accurately be called marijuana's tipping point.
Those advocating for denying entry to the Central American children cite the tremendous costs involved. And indeed, in our ongoing economic malaise, with deficits continuing to mount and prospects brightening little for America's own youth, how can the diversion of such enormous resources be justified?
As long as there have been societies, use of drugs and alcohol have been a part of them. Abuse of both drugs and alcohol is endemic, but could be better controlled were we to start treating drug and alcohol abuse in the same way; that is a public health problem that needs treatment, rather than only as a criminal law problem.

text: By Eric DrummWith CIVIL WAR rumbling across the Marvel Universe, some heroes felt it was best for them to hang up the tights and lead a normal life. THE LONERS are a group of former heroes who've banded together, starting a support group to cope with life without the mask. But where there are heroes there are villains, and like anyone trying to kick a habit, it's hard to stay off the horse for long. Leaving the hero hotbed of the East Coast for sunny LA., each of the Loners are looking for fresh starts to their lives in a new city. Young heroes such as Ricochet, Darkhawk and Lightspeed turned their backs on the daily grind of superheroics and now help each other cope with the loss of identity. How are they doing? Writer C.B Cebulski says that everyone has a story. "Each Loner has come to L.A. and joined the group for their own reasons. They're all dealing with the struggles of being an ex-superhero in different ways. So far we've seen how Spider-Woman [Mattie Franklin] and Ricochet are coping. It's not easy for them. We'll see how Phil [Urich] is attempting to put his past as the Green Goblin behind him and how Julie Power [Lightspeed] is faring without the companionship of her siblings in issues three and four." LONERS #2 showed that not all members of the group are sticking to the plan. Darkhawk, Spider-Woman and Ricochet put on their masks again to deal with the villain Nekra and bust up a Mutant Growth Hormone drug ring--and the rest of the group is none too pleased. Ricochet--Johnny Gallo--defended his actions and referred to his need for the mask as an addiction, and as a super-powered person he has a responsibility to serve the greater good. Could it be that the crime fighting lifestyle is truly an addiction that needs to be purged? "It's different for each character," says Cebulski. "Deep down inside, these kids were all heroes, and in most cases their powers defined the formative years of their lives. It's hard to just decide to give that up cold turkey. It becomes a part of you. For some it is an addiction, for others it's something else entirely." For better or worse, Johnny's "addition" got the better of him, sending him dashing into the night as Ricochet to track down a lead in the Nekra case. Following a tip, Ricochet went solo to investigate further. Met with Delilah--a katana-wielding maniac--and a seriously scary monster (who happens to be Hollow, the Generation X-er formerly known as Penance), Ricochet is on his own more than ever. With no one knowing where he is and no help coming, Ricochet might not bounce back from this one. He sure could use some support. "While they may not be a team, the Loners are all still friends, and friends tend to stick together. You'll see this all play out in issue three..." remarks Cebulski. Ricochet may be in a tight spot, but this is just the beginning of the THE LONERS' roller coaster ride. Cebulski says that there are some shockers lying ahead. "No one has yet been able to identify the secret character that will be showing up shortly to join the Loners in therapy very soon!" After CIVIL WAR, the entire Marvel Universe could use some counseling, so it could be just about anybody! Feed your need with THE LONERS #3 by C.B. Cebulski and Karl Moline, on sale June 6.

A collection of essays about real political change, the kind where the 99% overthrow the corporate elites who have seized control of our so-called democracies.

Mark Kleiman cuts through the rhetoric of the war on drugs and the legalization debate to discuss the practical options to control a wide range of substances. Both drug-taking and drug-control can be done to excess, and "Against Excess" shows how we can limit the damage done by both errors. It argues we need a middle ground: "grudging toleration" -- neither prohibition nor full legal availability.

This book foresaw the "Arab Spring" of 2011. It was obvious years before that the old Arab nationalist dictatorships had failed and were being challenged by two forces: liberal democracy advocates and revolutionary Islamists. While the Long War for Freedom focuses on the moderates, it also, by necessity, presents the worldview and strategy of the Islamists.

A stock figure of modern political literature is the Latin American dictator, a beribboned generalissimo, overweight, corrupt, propping up rich landlords who live in luxury on the back of impoverished peasants, using the language of anti-Communism to justify crushing any possibility of reform.

Since the Financial Crisis and Recession politicians have been fearful of a double-dip but more so of a return of financial crisis. Trillions of U.S. dollars has been spent to bring the economy back and markets up, but when it all came crashing down in 2011, somehow markets rallied and continue to rally, but why? The answer is simple: the government took control.

W.B.Yeats' line that "The best lack all conviction, while the worst are filled with passionate intensity" could have been written to describe the public attitude towards climate change. _Walking the Talk_ argues that the traditional motivators of "faith" and "duty" have become debased coins, which limits public engagement. In exchange the author offers the ideal of "practical philosophy".

Sadly for the world, his words came true. On November 21, 2007, Barack Obama said, "I truly believe that the day I'm inaugurated, not only the country looks at itself differently, but the world looks at America differently. If I'm reaching out to the Muslim world they understand that I've lived in a Muslim country and I may be a Christian, but I also understand their point of view."

Mt. Elon Baptist Church – Lydia, South Carolina
South Carolina | SC Picture Project | Darlington County Photos | Mt. Elon Baptist Church
Mt. Elon Baptist Church was founded in 1831 in the small town of Lydia. The present church building was constructed in 1911 and was built by Lucius Patrick Raines. The congregation derived its name from the plentiful oak trees which surround it. Elon means "oak" in Hebrew, and the tree is also a symbol of strength.
The original church was likely built shortly after the congregation formed. Construction on a larger church to replace the first one began 1858. Though the second sanctuary was in use by 1860, it was not actually completed until 1870. It served the congregation until this church was built in the early twentieth century.
We would like to make this page better. Do you have knowledge or stories about Mt. Elon Baptist Church that you can share? If so, please send it to the South Carolina Picture Project. Thank you!
Reflections on Mt. Elon Baptist Church
Photographer Steven Faucette tells us, "Lydia is a very small community located between Bishopville and Hartsville, SC. My father was the pastor here at Mount Elon until 1968, so this is where I grew up."

TripAdvisor Reviews BEST WESTERN PLUS Garden City Hotel Canberra
Travel Blogs from Canberra
Success again with our bus passes. "One jolly swag-man and his missus to the city centre please"!
Such a beautiful morning. After arriving downtown, 30 minutes by bus to cover 7 K, we walked through the empty city, following a path that led us around Burley Griffin Lake to the Australian Museum. Approximately a thirty seven minute walk! …
Where are all the people?
Having misinterpreted the hotel desk's instructions as to the location of the bus stop, we finally found it and in my best Aussie accent I said to the driver, " G'day Mate, two concession day passes please" and I got them! This is a minor miracle because it has been something of a pet peeve of mine that seniors rates, or concessions as they are …

We departed Eden in bight sunshine and a pleasant 19C. We headed north along the coast for a while, then headed north east, inland, and began the climb up the first range. It topped out at 1,000 metres and a temperature of 13C. Much to our delight we saw the Snowy Mountain range off to the west where the highest peak, Mt. Koscluszko is 2,280 metres …

Canberra, Australia Capial Territory
February 20th to 26th Canberra. Not many international tourists visit Canberra, nor Australian ones either despite it being the capital city. Most people prefer Melbourne or Sydney, the two rivals.

There are plenty of grand vistas, a large central lake, parks and open spaces and ...

Grassland plant adaptations include deep roots, narrow leaves and brightly colored flowers. Grassland plants, particularly grasses themselves, grow from the base of the plant rather than the tips. This enables them to survive the fires that commonly occur in the dry, hot climate of grasslands.Know More
One grassland plant adaptation is deep roots, which can extend more than 11 feet into the ground. These enable the plant to find moisture during droughts and to survive fires. The plants also have secondary roots that hold the soil together, decreasing erosion from wind or rain.
Grassland plants have thin, narrow leaves, another adaptation. These leaves absorb water without losing valuable moisture due to evaporation. In many species of plants, these leaves also contain silica, a hardy material that can withstand grazing animals. Many plants carry a toxin that further protects them from grazers.
Reproduction of grassland plants is another adaptation to help them survive. For instance, many of the plants have brightly colored flowers that attract pollinators to them. Grasses do not even need pollinators in order to reproduce. Instead, they are wind pollinated, which is especially effective in wide open areas of grasslands. Some grasses grow in groups or bunches, allowing more of them to survive during strong winds.Learn more about Botany
A grassland food web is an interconnected ecological system where the primary trophic level is comprised of grasses growing in flat, open areas. Grasses, also known as producers, create their own food through photosynthesis. The next trophic level consists of consumers, such as grazing animals and carnivores.Full Answer >

Consumers who are seeking private dental treatment should bear in mind that the costs of treatment can vary, experts have said.
A growing number of people have sought private dental treatment in recent months due to the chronic shortage of NHS availability, and many have even considered treatment abroad.
According to a British Dental Health Foundation spokesman, it is important to shop around when looking for a dentist in order to find a good deal.
Chief executive Dr Nigel Carter commented: "Many treatments will be available for much less than people might expect.
"Certainly the rates for treatment can vary from one dentist to another and it can be worth getting a second quote."
Dr Carter also urged consumers to look at the various payment options available to help people spread the costs of dental treatment.
"These include dental plans, health cash plans, dental insurance and capitation plans," he added.

Misunderstanding the Ebola Crisis Is Worse Than Ignoring It

Anthony Bourdain goes to South Africa
In a recent episode of his CNN "Parts Unknown," the American chef and writer Anthony Bourdain traveled to South Africa. In my mind at least, this episode was long overdue and in fact, I've even said so on this blog in the past. The episode focuses on Gauteng Province (Johannesburg and Pretoria), signaling to a desire on the producers' part to focus on emerging and predominantly urban black South African sensibilities and avoiding the pre-packaged, proto-European sensibilities and more superficially palatable aesthetics of Cape Town and the Western Cape altogether. The result is at once an imperfect and incomplete, yet compelling glimpse into one of the most complicated and confusing places in the world.

Spoon at Work on New Album, Reveal Song Titles
By Carrie Battan on May 6, 2013 at 1:00 p.m. EDT
The existence of two supergroup side projects-- Divine Fits and Spli:t S:ngle-- is not stopping Britt Daniel from continuing on with Spoon. The band are back, hard at work on a new album to follow 2010's Transference. "We've been hanging out at [drummer/producer Jim Eno's] a lot in the past couple months and we're still in the writing stages," the band write in a newsletter. "But the shit is sounding good."

Just after Britt Daniel of Spoon launched his supergroup Divine Fits, came the announcement that he'd started another band called Spl:t S:ngle. This one would be fronted by Jason Narducy (formerly of Verbow, currently of Bob Mould's band), Daniel would play bass, and it would also include Supercunk/Mountain Goats drummer Jon Wurster. "Three guys, one mic. Just like how Elvis and Yes recorded," Wurster said of their recording process.

People are skeptical of new bands with members of other bands. They think it's just a side project, a holdover. And no matter how much Divine Fits' Britt Daniel and Dan Boeckner said that Divine Fits were a real band when they came out, it was hard to believe them. But now, seven months after their album, they're playing their fifth SXSW show in four days, and they're having a hell of a time doing it.
