A PRS Custom Solidbody That's Perfect for Any Player!
The Paul Reed Smith SE Custom 24 solidbody electric guitar puts the sound, playability, and gorgeous looks of the Custom line into a high-quality yet affordable instrument! The SE Custom 24's mahogany body and maple top hold two great-sounding PRS-designed HFS and Vintage Bass humbucking pickups. Its 3-piece maple neck features a wide-thin shape for very easy playing, and the rosewood fingerboard is adorned with classy bird inlays. This guitar is a true PRS through and through, as well as being a great value - you don't have to be a rock star or collector to enjoy the SE Custom 24!Paul Reed Smith SE Custom 24 Solidbody Electric Guitar at a Glance:

Get great tone, the PRS way
The combination of a mahogany body and maple top gives the SE Custom 24 a perfect balance of rich midrange and bright snap (and the beautiful flame maple top veneer helps make this instrument a real looker). Add HFS and Vintage Bass humbuckers in the bridge and neck positions, respectively, and you've got a recipe for some outstanding tones! The SE Custom 24's maple neck has a wide-thin carve, making it very fast and playable. And the distinctive neck joint means you can reach all 24 frets easily for stellar solos. The hardware is, as always, very stable and dependable. You can count on the PRS-designed tremolo bridge and tuners to keep the SE Custom 24 in tune while allowing you to express yourself at home, onstage, or in the studio.
A fitting addition to the PRS line
All Paul Reed Smith guitars are designed for top-notch performance, right out of the case and the SE Custom 24 is no exception. Constructed from top-notch tonewoods and components, PRS instruments carry on a commitment to quality that's been the brand's hallmark since 1985, when Paul Reed Smith himself started hand-building guitars for some of the most elite players in the world.

Agricultural Economics (Zemědělská ekonomika)
Optimal allocation of production resources under uncertainty: Application of the muliticriteria approach

Analysing economic efficiency of farm production always faces a problem of insufficient information. This is particularly true when the analysis is performed on the reference farm where estimates are based on the average aggregated data. The paper illustrates how the combination of different mathematical programming methods could be efficiently used to analyse the farm-production plan with the lack of the on-farm accounting data. The utilised approach shows how the holistic analysis of production planning as a multi-criteria problem could be conducted. The estimation of the missing information and the disaggregation of the endogenous farm data is enabled through different models that are based on the constrained optimisation. The developed models are linked into the spreadsheet modular tool enabling systematic analyses of the farm decision making under risky conditions. Illustration of the modular tool application is given via the analyses of three hypothetic dairy farms. The obtained results indicate that the developed approach enables holistic analyses of the production planning. The methodology applied provides also important information for the measures aimed to increase efficiency as well as to benchmarking the performance of different farm types. The results point to a discrepancy between the solutions obtained through different objective functions and shows the advantage of the multi-criteria approach.

Irritable Bowel Syndrome Pet Peeves and Annoyances
How Many of These Things Bug Other Unlucky IBS Sufferers?
IBS is difficult to cope with. Add a few thoughtless remarks or public places without bathroom facilities, and the difficulty increases.
(c) Copyright Kathy Steinemann
Here are some of my personal IBS pet peeves, not necessarily listed in order of annoyance. What about you? Feel free to leave a comment about what frustrates or exasperates you.
The IBS Pet Peeves List:
• Hosts who say things like, "Oh, come on! Having a big piece of double chocolate cake with ice cream won't hurt ... just this once!" And I know that if I eat it, I will be in for two to three days of H-E-DOUBLE-TOOTHPICKS.
• The dismissive manner of some doctors or other professional people who do not have IBS. How can they presume to know what I am experiencing? Listen to what I say and at least pretend to be empathetic!
• Guests or family members who use up the last of the toilet paper on the roll and do not refill it or let me know.
• A desperate rush to use the household bathroom only to find that a male member of the family has urinated on the toilet seat.
• Restaurant cooks who slather on butter and seasonings even though the server has made it clear that the food is to be prepared without them. Then, having to wait (while I watch everyone else eat) as my food is prepared for a second time.
• People who think I am exaggerating because they assume I am a hypochondriac or a wuss.
• Know-it-alls who insist that I must have celiac disease, Crohn's, or lactose intolerance, even though those conditions have been ruled out by my physicians.
• People who insist that I should eat lots of salads and raw vegetables because they are so good for me. Uh, uh. Big triggers!
• Someone who tells me that irritable bowel syndrome is a psychological disorder and insists that my symptoms are all in my head.
• A statement like, "You are SO lucky you don't have to worry about your weight!" Believe me; I'd love to be in a position where I could decide between one dish of ice cream and two.
• Stores and other public places without public washrooms.
• Really slow cashiers who chat with the clerk at the next till rather than paying attention to customers. (There have been times when I have actually left a lineup with my shopping cart in order to visit the washroom before returning to check out my purchases.)
What about you? Do you have a pet peeve that you would like to mention?
Be sure to investigate Kathy's latest books:

As an IBS sufferer, your gut is likely more sensitive than normal to pain. Gas acts as a stimulus that can irritate the pain response and ignite the gastrocolic reflex. It also causes discomfort.

When you're feeling depressed, remember that you are only one of millions of people suffering from irritable bowel syndrome. Some very big celebrities, including world leaders, have it, too.

According to several sources, gelatin may help to heal the mucous membranes in the intestines and soothe the digestive tract. It is credited with improving disorders such as IBS and Crohn's.

Oh Kathy! I don't have IBS, but some of your peeves you list here I can definitely relate to. I have fibromyalgia and I can certainly empathize with people thinking its "all in your head" or you're just "lazy"!
I can also identify with the "male present on the toilet seat" one!
If you have time, check out my hub about disability denial jokes and see if you can add some to those as well.
My pet peeve is people thinking I'm using my disability as a reason not to do things. Seriously? As if I would rather sit in my chair on a heating pad all day and pop pain medicine like candy instead of being at work and running and playing with my toddlers?
Voted up!
Thanks, Kathy!!
Until all my food intolerances were identified, I was thought to have IBS. It was truly debilitating. I'd add disappearing restaurant meals if you have to run to the restroom midmeal (but are expected to pay for) and nasty comments by others waiting in line for the restroom to the list. Seriously? There are some things you shouldn't comment on!

"Everything under one roof" Buchanan Galleries Tip by BlueBeth
Buchanan Galleries, Glasgow: 6 reviews and 4 photos
So it doesn't always rain in Glasgow, but it was when I was there. The Buchanan Galleries has all the High St shops under one roof.
I bought a mobile phone charger (I'd left mine at home, between me, my boyfriend and my kids we now have seven!), a top, some cropped linen trousers and some shoes... Ok I always buy shoes but they were a bargain!
What to buy: As they have a John Lewis here I'd say you could probably buy just about anything...
What to pay: Same as everywhere else, this isn't an outlet, just a mall.

Strawberry Cake Recipe
Use strawberries to flavor and garnish these strawberry cake recipes, including pound cake, sponge cake, flourless chocolate cake, tres leches cake, angel food cake, marble cake, shortcake, and more.
Recipe Spotlight
When I first made my decadent slow cooker chocolate cake, my husband and daughter's expressions said it all. She says it's one of her "most favorites." Later, I brought one of these to our next-door neighbors. Turns out their teenage son, who'd answered the door, ate the whole thing without telling anyone else about it! —Aimee Fortney, Fairview, TennesseeGet Recipe

Compared to the rest of the Silicon Valley market, the Downtown San Mateo submarket has higher rates, and you'll have to negotiate above asking rent to be in this hot region.
In the last 90 days, 33 listings have come on the market, which means office spaces might be leasing quickly. You'll want to be prepared to make an offer immediately. About 9% of the available space in the Downtown San Mateo are subleases, so you will probably need to consider the implications of signing a direct lease with the building. There aren't many listings below 2,000 square feet available, so finding a space for a small business might be tough.
The standard measurement for office space in this area is around 1,290 sqft. Most properties in this region are close to 3 stories. Most buildings in this region were built in 1968 and are Class B.
Not much of the real estate is used for commercial space, so it might be hard to find office space. Utilities is the dominant industry in this region. Commute by taxi is the most popular way to get to work amongst Downtown San Mateo residents. Commuting between 30 and 45 minutes a day is the norm for those who opt to reside in this part of town.

This is a continuation of application Ser. No. 07/675,684 filed Mar. 27, 1991, now abandoned.
The present invention relates to an electronic graphic apparatus and to a method of processing an image.
One example of an electronic graphic apparatus or system is described in our British Patent No. 2 089 625 and corresponding U.S. Pat. No. 4,514,818. This system includes a touch tablet and stylus combination for generating position signals designating the position of the stylus relative to the touch tablet. The user or operator paints or draws (hereinafter referred to simply as "paints") by selecting a color and a so called brush distribution from a range of predefined color and distribution functions. Movement of the stylus relative to the touch tablet causes the generation of a series of position signals. The system also includes a pixel processing circuit and a frame storage means which can store an array of pixels representing a picture. On moving the stylus to designate different positions, a patch of pixels in the frame storage means referenced by each designated position is modified in response to the selected color and distribution. All the pixels in the frame storage means, representing the picture, can moreover be read repeatedly and applied to a monitor to display the picture as it is built up by the operator.
The frame storage means for a system such as referred to in the preceding paragraph requires three ports, one for reading back pixels from the frame storage means to the processing circuit, one for writing the modified pixels from the processing circuit into the frame storage means and the third for repeatedly reading the pixels from the frame storage means to the monitor for display. Serial access is sufficient for reading the pixels as a video signal to the monitor, but random access is required via the first and second ports.
These requirements make it difficult to transfer pixels to the monitor at high rates, such as would be needed for example to refresh a monitor displaying a picture of high definition, say HDTV standard.
One object of the present invention is to reduce this difficulty.
According to one aspect of the present invention there is provided graphic apparatus comprising: an image store for manipulation in a framestore, the framestore being arranged such that user determined manipulations to the image data are effected at a rate corresponding to a low resolution and a portion of the image data including the manipulated data is output from time to time to a display store containing data representing the image for display, the area of output data updating a corresponding area of data in the display store.
According to another aspect of the invention there is provided a method of processing an image, the method comprising: storing in an image store having a multiplicity of storage locations data representing a multiplicity of pixels which together from the image; identifying a position in the image: addressing a path of storage locations in the image store determined by the identified position; processing data at the addressed storage locations in order to effect a modification to the image represented by the data in the image store at the identified position, said processing being at a rate corresponding to a low resolution image; storing in a display store having a multiplicity of storage locations data representing a multiplicity of pixels which together form the image of high resolution for display; addressing a large number of adjacent storage locations in said image store containing pixels which together represent a part of the image including the identified position; addressing corresponding storage locations in said display store; and updating the addressed locations in the display store with pixel data from corresponding addressed locations in said image store, and causing the addressed locations in the display store; and reading data from said display store and producing a sequence of signals adapted for the reproduction of the image represented by the read data.
The above and further features of the invention are set forth with particularity in the appended claims and together with advantages thereof will become clearer from consideration of the following detailed description of an exemplary embodiment of the invention given with reference to the accompanying drawings.
In the drawings, FIG. 1 is a schematic diagram representing a video graphics system embodying the invention; and
FIG. 2 is a schematic diagram illustrating the manner in which image data is transferred in the system of FIG. 1.
Referring now to FIG. 1 of the accompanying drawings, there is shown an electronic graphic apparatus or system comprising a stylus/touch tablet combination 1 which is arranged such that as the stylus is drawn across the touch tablet, signals XY representing the instantaneous position of the stylus on the touch tablet are output. The XY signals are applied to a patch address generator 2.
Picture point data representing an image is stored in a framestore 3 and for each XY position of the stylus, the patch address generator 2 generates, serially, a patch of picture point addresses in the framestore 3, which patch of addresses is related to the XY position of the stylus.
In addition to generating XY signals, the stylus/touch tablet combination may be arranged to generate date representing the pressure applied via the stylus to the touch tablet, such pressure related data being stored in a pressure register 4. Notional drawing implements are used to draw image data into the framestore 3 and data representing the distribution of a selected drawing implement is held in a distribution store 5a. Similarly, data representing a user selected colour is held in a colour register or store 5b.
The distribution register or store 5a is arranged to provide a distribution signal for each picture point in the patch in the framestore 3 addressed by the generator 2. During painting each addressed picture point is read from the framestore 3 and applied to a processor 6. The processor 6, which may be of the kind described in our above mentioned patents, receives also the colour and distribution data from the respective stores 5a and 5b. The processor 6 is responsive to the pressure exerted on the stylus by the operator as represented by the pressure data in the pressure registers and uses the colour and distribution data to modify each pixel in the currently identified patch, the resulting modified pixel data being written back to their respective locations in the framestore 3. In this way pixel data representing a picture can be created in the framestore 3, or data therein can be touched up, or otherwise processed as described in the aforementioned patents.
In the exemplary system shown in FIG. 1, the framestore 3 is formed from four normal television standard three-port framestore devices which are combined to form an enlarged storage field having four quadrants, one quadrant for each of the framestore devices. Thus, the framestore 3 has the capacity to store pixel data representing up to four pictures at the resolution of the normal television standard, for example 625 lines, or to store one picture at four times normal resolution, for example HDTV standard.
A read address generator 7 generates addresses to enable the reading of pixels serially from an area in the framestore 3 sufficient to accommodate one picture at normal television resolution, which pixels are output from the framestore 3 via an output bus 8. A scroll data generator 9 also receives the XY signals from the touch tablet 1 and is arranged to generate data that causes the read address generator 7 to shift, horizontally and vertically, the area corresponding to the picture which is read from the framestore 3 to cause the area to occupy a desired position in the enlarged storage field. Thus, whilst the framestore 3 has the capacity to store an image in an enlarged storage field, the read address generator 7 is arranged to generate addresses such that only an area corresponding to an image at normal TV resolution is read from the framestore 3 during a frame period. The exact rate at which data is read from the framestore 3 will of course depend on external influences such as the standards adopted in the country in which the system is to be used, but by way of example the address generator 7 will typically generate addresses such that pixels are read from the area in the framestore 3 at a rate of say 13.5 MHz.
The picture point data or pixels read from the framestore 3 are applied to a high definition viewing store 10 which has the capacity to store pixels representing a picture of high resolution relative to the normal television standard mentioned above, for example HDTV standard. The pixels read from the framestore 3 are addressed to picture points in the viewing store 10 under the control of an address generator 11. The operation of both the read address generator 7 and the write address generator 11 is controlled by a timing circuit 12. The address generator 11 at any one time addresses only an area of the viewing store 10 occupying approximately one quarter of the storage field of this store. That is to say, the write address generator 11 addresses an area in the viewing store 11 which area is defined by a number of pixels corresponding to that in the picture read from the framestore 3. The write address generator 11 also receives scrolling data from the scroll data generator 9 and thus the address data generated by the read address generator 7 and the write address generator 11 is coordinated so that the area in the viewing store 10 to which pixel data is written tracks the area in the framestore 3 from which the reading of pixel data occurs.
The areas in the framestore 3 and the viewing store 10 are determined by the position of the stylus on the touch tablet at the beginning of each frame period, ie area reading cycle. The stylus can designate any position in the framestore 3, that is to say it can generate signals that designate any address in any of the four three-port framestore devices. At the beginning of each frame period the current address designated by the stylus is used by the scroll data generator 9 to identify the mid point of the areas in both the framestore 3 and the viewing store 10. Once the mid point has been identified the areas remain stationary until the reading cycle is completed ie until the end of the frame period and at the beginning of the next frame period. The areas are then moved by the scroll data generator 9 to the new current stylus position. As successive picture points in the viewing store 10 are addressed, the corresponding pixels output from the framestore 3 are written into the viewing store as that picture point.
A high definition read address generator 14 is arranged to generate read addresses to cause the reading of pixels from the high definition viewing store 10 for display of the high definition image on a high definition monitor 13.
FIG. 2 of the accompanying drawings illustrates the way in which the position of the area addressed by the read address generator 7 changes from frame period to frame period. When the stylus is brought into contact with the touch tablet the address in the framestore 3 corresponding to the point 15 is identified and this point is used to define the centre of the area, as represented by the broken line 16-1. Movement of the stylus on the touch tablet causes data representing the stroke 17 to be drawn into the store by the processor (see FIG. 1) and at the same time data is read from the area 16-1 to the corresponding area of the viewing store 10 replacing the data previously in that area. At the beginning of the next frame period t=2, the point 18 is identified as the next centre of the next area 16-2. During this next frame period t=2 data is read from the area 16-2 to a new corresponding area of the viewing store 10 replacing the data previously in that area. At the same time, further movement of the stylus results in the stroke 19 being drawn into the framestore 3. During the next frame period t=3 the point 20 is identified as the centre of the area 16-3, and during creation of a stroke 21, data in the area 16-3 is written to its corresponding area in the viewing store 10. This process is repeated during each frame period with the image gradually being built up in the framestore 3 and transferred in the manner described to the viewing store 10. At the end of the fourth frame period, in the example given in FIG. 2, data representing the line 22 will be held in the viewing store 10 for display on the monitor 13.
It will thus be appreciated that painting into the framestore 3 is done in the normal way by random access read-modify-write operations at normal TV rates, eg 13.5 MHz, and a portion of the image data including the modified data is transferred to the viewing store 10 also at that rate for display at high definition TV rates, eg 54 MHz. The portion or area of the image that is transferred is always centred on the position of the stylus at the beginning of a frame period and the area is sufficiently large to ensure that no normal movement of the stylus in the ensuing frame period will carry the stylus outside the defined area.
Returning now to FIG. 1, it should be noted that the viewing store 10 is a two port store and it may comprise suitable Random Access Memory (RAM) devices such as a video RAM having a serial output. There is no need to provide a random access output to read from the viewing store 10. The serial output that provides the video data to the monitor 13 can therefore be rapid enough to refresh the high definition monitor 13 at the rates associated with high definition television. Thus reading may be effected to provide definition at 54 MHz for example. Indeed the monitor 13 may even be an HDTV monitor capable of accepting a video waveform at 74.25 MHz, and a definition of this order can be achieved by providing the stores 3 and 10 with sufficient picture point capacity to accommodate six images at the normal television definition.
The number of pixels in the two stores 3 and 10 need not correspond and a digital filter may be included in the bus 8, to compress the picture if the number of pixels in store 3 exceeds that in store 10, or to expand the picture if the situation is reversed.
It will be appreciated that in the example described, when painting is being effected, the updating of the picture in the store 10 is carried out within an area which moves with the stylus, the area being centred periodically (at the frame rate) at the current position of the stylus, so that updating is carried out at the area of picture within which the operator is working. For other operations, or for picture composition effects, it may be desirable to update the entire picture in the store 10 from time to time. Updating in store 10 can then be effected in four passes, occupying four frame periods and covering respectively the four quadrants of the picture.
Having thus described the present invention by reference to a preferred embodiment it is to be well understood that the embodiment in question is exemplary only and that modifications and variations such as will occur to those possessed of appropriate knowledge and skills may be made without departure from the spirit and scope of the invention as set forth in the appended claims and equivalents thereof.

Subject: Re: [Aroid-l] smallest
I'm along time lurker of the previous group and
happy to see all the activity on the new list. While we're on the
subject of the small aroids - I have a tiny plant (1 to 3 " high) that I
bought at the LAIFS show a few years as an unknown aroid. I'm not very
knowledgeable about Aroids but am trying to learn.
Would some of you "experts" look at the pictures
I've uploaded and see if you can tell me what it is, please? The lady I
bought it from grew it in a terrarrium and since I already have at leaset 2
hundred terrarriums, I've done the same. As you can see from the 1st
picture it's a clumping variety - it started out as just a couple of little
plants and I've divided it several times. I took it out of the bowl to
take the pictures and layed out several representative plants and leaves. The
stems almost always have a lot of red to them and the new growth is
bronzy which sometimes lingers. It's an attractive little thing and I
hope to use it as an understory plant in a bonsai forest I'm growing.
I took a couple of plants out three or four months ago and am growing
them in the regular atmosphere of my house - they are doing fine but are not
multiplying like they do in the "bubble bowl".

Recent Tutoring Session Reviews
"The student and I reviewed his trigonometry exams and discussed any questions he had. Primarily, we reviewed sketching unit triangles from given angles, calculating sine or cosine based on unit points (Cartesian points). I provided him with a cheat sheet that addressed specific trigonometric topics."
"The student had completed a long study guide prepared by the teacher for the final. We took the time to check all of her work and she had done all the problems successfully. They covered handling complicated multiplication of exponents and area calculations. She is well-prepared, and care in systematic setup of problems is helping her to feel more confident. Also, we covered some problems created by me, to mirror the types of problems in the study guide."
"Covered solving equations with multiple variables for the Monday final. The student needed to practice to gain understanding and confidence. Spiral reviews will continue in order to reinforce what he has already learned."
"I prepared the student for his Advanced Algebra exam. We worked on piece-wise functions, g(f(x)) functions, and learned how to graph parabolas and exponents. Overall a good session. He feels prepared for his math exam tomorrow. He also told me that he feels good about his chemistry exam that he took last Friday."
"This morning the student and I worked on trigonometry. I started with Pythagorean theorem, which she was already familiar with. Then we moved on to similar triangles before covering sin, cos, tan and finally their inverses. She did well with each concept and I e-mailed her additional practice problems she can work on that cover these topics."
"Today we covered sequences and series, including arithmetic and geometric sequences and series rules. We went over the three chapters that her class has covered thus far and worked through practice problems in her textbook to aid in understanding. It was a lot to cover in one session and the student knows to review the chapters more in her textbook."
"The student continues to progress well in all areas. We have begun using our established reading routine to start our sessions. This seems to help him "warm up" his comprehension skills. Today we worked on several word problems in math, as this has been a difficult area for him. I continue to have him attempt to walk me through the problem, which he was able to do today without much difficulty. We will continue to work on sequencing and using multiple math principles for the remainder of our sessions."
"Today, we did a final review of linear equations. I gave him a set of problems to do by hand to gauge how well he understood the material. He should be fine for the final. We spent the rest of the time working on his study islands for science, which we completed later in the session."
"We covered a variety of subjects to review for the final. We spent most of our time looking at square and cube root parent functions. We also briefly covered the test for even/odd functions and did a couple of examples of advanced factoring techniques including factoring by grouping and trial-error synthetic division. The student got a 93 on his last test!"
"The student received a 75 on her most recent Algebra II exam, which covered solving systems of equations by substitution and elimination as well as graphing quadratic equations. We reviewed the exam together and I reinforced the skills that we have gone over already to solve these problems. I am suggesting an online module for her to practice some basic algebra skills over the break, and I believe she will need dedicated practice on the algebra II skills to show significant improvement."
"Today we all agreed that we should focus on math. The student has her retake on Thursday, so it was important that we made sure that she had all of the material mastered for the exam. I was very pleased to see that she was able to easily apply the techniques to her new rate word problems; our intense session on that last time really seemed to have helped."
"During our session, the student and I completed online homework problems as well as her exam review sheet. We covered several topics, including solving for composite functions. She did very well during our session and I have complete confidence that she will do well on her upcoming exam."

One of the best kept secrets in the whole of the Bahamas, this beach is sure to make your jaw drop with its translucent water and pristine sand. It's a perfect spot for sunbathers and beach-walkers, and there's a chance you'll have it all to yourself.
Positioned on the eastern edge of the island of Great Exuma, You might think about stopping by even if you aren't staying nearby. Visitors should keep in mind that, while Tropic Of Cancer Beach is certainly not secluded, you wouldn't necessarily call it a busy beach either. This makes it an excellent choice for travelers who want to make the most of their trip to the beach but also want to skip out on the crowds.
The beach is located in Moore Hill on the eastern part of Exuma. You can reach the beach by car, but once you cross the bridge onto Little Exuma from Great Exuma, you may want to ask directions from a local. Street signs are non-existent for the most part.
Also referred to as Tropic of Cancer Beach, this stretch of sparkling white sand curves gently along the quiet coast of Moore Hill. The azul waters are perfectly clear and make for fantastic swimming, while the off-shore rock formations make for unbelievable views and good snorkeling.
Unfortunately, restrooms will not be available here.
Tropic Of Cancer Beach offers a calm and serene escape, especially since the area surrounding the beach is free of city-life and traffic.
This spot is on the East coast of Great Exuma. Nearby you'll find accommodations like Club La Shante, which is perhaps the closest hotel reachable from Tropic Of Cancer Beach, despite there not being too many other attractions in the vicinity.
Beaches are nice for a few hours here and there, but there's plenty else to see during your stay. The following chart includes some other attractions close-by.
|Emerald Reef Golf Course
|Golf Course
|24.1 mi.
|Great Exuma
Though it's some distance off is the closest populated region. though you may see some small, residential towns as you get closer to the beach.
Whether or not you encounter a lot of other visitors will be influenced by everything from the time of day to the capacity of nearby hotels. There are not many major hotels nearby, but it can attract guests from some of the area's smaller options.
While there aren't many widely-known restaurants nearby, you'll still have some choices, particularly if you are willing to drive or bike a few miles. One of the closest places to eat is Santanna's Bar & Grill, which is two miles away.
The following table provides a list of places to eat near this beach.
|Restaurant Name
|Santanna's Bar & Grill
|(242) 345-4102
|2.1 mi.
|Grand Bahama Island
There are plenty of beautiful beach locations to choose from on Great Exuma, so Tropic Of Cancer Beach is just one of your options.
Another location you may want to try is La Shante Beach, which is located two and a half miles away.
You may find that Tropic Of Cancer Beach is a great fit for your vacation, but maybe you want to see more; in which case you should keep looking for a beach or natural attraction that suits your vacation style.
Help us improve! We welcome your corrections and suggestions.

Mannix: Celtics going to be in best bargaining situation this summer
Chris Mannix helps break down what the Boston Celtics could do with all the cap space this offseason in hopes that they can build a championship team to compete next season.
Halftime stars, studs and duds: Raptors missing Lowry in first half
Halftime stars, studs and duds: Raptors missing Lowry in first half
TORONTO -- Here are the Stars, Studs and Duds from the first half which ended with the Boston Celtics ahead 55-45 over the Toronto Raptors.
DeMar DeRozan
Playing without Kyle Lowry (right wrist), DeRozan made the most of what, not surprisingly, were a few more shot attempts. He led all scorers with 19 first-half points on 7-for-13 shooting.
Isaiah Thomas
The strong play by Thomas prior to the All-Star break, hasn't gone anywhere. He led the Celtics with 11 points in the first half on 3-for-7 shooting along with four assists.
Jonas Valanciunas
Boston had problems throughout the first half keeping him off the boards as he tallied five points and a game-high six rebounds.
Jaylen Brown
The rookie showed a heightened level of maturity at both ends of the floor, scoring 10 points on 4-for-6 shooting.
Corey Joseph
We all know he's not Kyle Lowry, but he has to do a better job of filling in for the All-Star than what we saw in the first half if the Raptors are to have any shot at rallying tonight. He was scoreless in 17 minutes, missing all three of his shots from the field.

Get 100,000 bonus Qantas or Altitude Points. The bonus points promotion is available to customers who apply and are approved for a new Westpac Altitude Black card between 17 October 2016 and 28 February 2017, pay the $395 annual fee and spend the minimum amount of $5000 on eligible purchases within 90 days from card approval on one or more transactions. Eligible purchases do not include fees, cash, cash equivalent transactions, BPAY, refunds and balance transfers debited from the card account. In order to be eligible, the account must be open and not in arrears at the time of crediting points. The bonus points depend on your choice of Rewards Program. The bonus Qantas or Altitude Points will be credited to your points balance in two increments – 50,000 and then 50,000 – within 60 days after the eligible spend criteria being met. Switches, upgrades, customers accessing employee benefits or packages are ineligible. This promotion is not available in conjunction with any other offer.
Westpac's credit card designers were certainly at the top of their game when they came up with the Westpac Altitude Black Credit Card, which neatly packages most of the features that any credit card user could ask for, even though it comes with the usual hefty fee for a black credit card. If you choose this card, you'll want to hang around for at least a year to make the most of the multiple benefits, including choice of rewards, high points earning rates coupled with unprecedented 100,000 bonus Altitude points, multiple complimentary airport passes and a suite of complementary benefits.
QANTAS or Altitude points? Take your pick.
You can choose to go with Qantas or Altitude when you apply for the card. QANTAS frequent flyers can choose to earn QFF points, while anyone can opt for Westpac Altitude Rewards and redeem points for a range of consumer products, entertainment and travel, financial services and shopping gift cards, or even put them towards the purchase price of a new Holden. While you usually get a far greater dollar value from QFF points, Altitude points have the advantage of offering a range of redemption options, including transferring them to points with Altitude's partner airlines, which include Virgin Australia, Malaysian Airlines, Singapore Airlines, Air New Zealand and Cathay Pacific.
You can even set up auto-redemption for Virgin Australia Velocity points, automatically receiving one Velocity point in exchange for every two Altitude points you earn.
Westpac's highest points earning rate, uncapped
This card account presents you with two cards – AmEx and MasterCard. The AmEx card carries Westpac's highest points earning rate – uncapped – of 1.25 pts per $1 spent or 3 pts per $1 spent. Purchases on the MasterCard will earn a lower 1.25 pts per $1 spent / 3 pts per $1 spent in Australia, but 3 pts per $1 spent from overseas merchants. AmEx is clearly the best card to use locally, but MasterCard provides a useful fallback if AmEx is declined or attracts a surcharge.
An additional 3 pts per $1 spent is available for purchases made using the card from either QANTAS or the Altitude Rewards Travel Service, plus a very limited list of Premium Bonus hotel and restaurant partners.
'Golden hello' bonus points
Effectively a sign-up reward, a whopping 100,000 points (QFF or Altitude, depending on your reward choice) will be credited to your account as long as you spend a minimum of $2,500 on purchases with the card within 90 days of account approval. That's just $833 per month.
To give you an idea of what this is worth, a $250 retail gift card can be yours for less than 100,000 points, while 50,000 QFF points will buy you three economy return flights between Sydney and Melbourne, with 2,000 points left over. Convert the Altitude points to Velocity, and the resulting 25,000 points will get you three economy one-way Sydney-Melbourne flights with 1,600 points remaining.
Every conceivable complementary benefit
This is the area where, on top of the high points earning rate, the card justifies its $395 p.a. annual fee. (Note that you can get an additional card free of charge as well, unlike similar cards which charge around $65 for every extra cardholder.)
The extensive, money-saving complementary benefits include:
That's quite a list, and it not only matches but in some cases exceeds the benefits offered with other black cards.
Competing black cards
If you're in the market for a black card, you'll need to compare Westpac's offerings with the Amex Explorer Card, the ANZ Rewards Black and ANZ Frequent Flyer Black cards, Commbank's Diamond Awards Credit Cards, as well as the Citi Prestige card. The ANZ cards have annual fees and points earnings rates similar to the Westpac card, but the Citi Prestige card annual fee is a whopping $700 p.a., possibly because of its stellar overseas points earning rate and unlimited Priority Pass lounge access for the cardholder and a guest.
Westpac Altitude Black is designed for . . .
. . . someone who wants it all and would actually use it all. Someone who still expects top value per dollar spent: AmEx AND MasterCard; a choice of Altitude Rewards OR QFF points; high points earning rate AND the 100,000 bonus points; multiple airport lounge passes and free insurance cover that's better in some respects than competing cards.
Importantly, before you apply, you must have a good credit score, earn at least $75,000 minimum income, can handle the minimum credit limit of $15,000, won't choke on paying the $395 p.a. annual fee and will put $5,000 spend through the card in the first 90 days. Lastly, if you are wise you will also avoid paying interest by not carrying a balance on your card month to month.

Homemade Coconut Oil Toothpaste
WOW- I really love this recipe. I have several and none of them worked as well as I would like, so I kept searching. Then I found yours. I didn't have the liquid minerals and left out the sea salt, but my teeth are squeaky clean and I am thrilled. Just wanted you to know - Thanks so much!
Homemade Coconut Oil ToothpasteI had just made up some up and then found your recipe but I had the right idea. I didn't have clay, myrrh gum, stevia, castile soap or an essential oil that I could use but surprised me that I had thought of the mineral drops which I did have. And then I added about 1/2 tsp turmeric powder, the contents of a probiotic capsule (Florastor) and a splash of aloe vera. Mouth feels great! Thanks.
Homemade Coconut Oil ToothpasteI used 4 tbsp of bentonite clay, 2 teaspoons of baking soda, and 1 teaspoon of cinnamon. I totally forgot to add coconut to the batch. Also what are your thoughts on using baking soda? I heard that if you use it consistently and for a long time, it can be pretty abrasive to your teeth. I'm concerned about that.

Elmo has never gotten on any of my furniture or chewed up anything. He has been the perfect house guest. He has discovered the big fluffy dog beds that appears just before bedtime each night and boy has he become really fond of them.
Elmo had never when for drive in the car and getting him in was quite a nightmare. We have been working on this for sometime now and he doesn't mind riding and is okay once he's in the car but is still a little hesitant about getting in.
Elmo hadn't had much leash training and at first walked in 10 foot circles. Guess he was just so used to only having 10 foot to walk before turning the corner in the kennel. He is doing really good on leash. Does still pull a little but is doing better every time he's leashed.
Elmo will come up to be petted but is not a real snuggy huggy kinda fellow. He is very loyal and will be right there with you and I'm sure with some time and patience he could become a snuggle bug.
Elmo graduated from the "New Leash on Life" program at the local prison where he spent 8 weeks being trained. He knows sit and stay really well.
Elmo is neutered, up to date on shots, heartworm negative and on prevention.

In July 2014, Council formally adopted the Complete Streets Policy, Complete Streets Design Standards, and Sidewalk Master Plan. The adoption encourages the inclusion of safe and accessible walking environments – a complete approach to infrastructure. Sidewalk maintenance plays a key role as we work to support walkable and connected neighborhoods.
Application for Public Right-of-Way Permit (a $50 fee applies)
Receiving Reimbursement:
Funds from the local option sales tax (Paving for Progress) are reserved for the maintenance, repair, construction and reconstruction of public streets, and are not used for sidewalk maintenance.
The Iowa State Code places the responsibility on sidewalk maintenance and repairs on the adjacent property owner. However, the City does offer partial reimbursement to property owners who undertake the repairs themselves, or who use an owner-hired contractor bonded with the City. A list of bonded contractors is available under "Resources and Forms," below.
In order to receive reimbursement, property owners must:
- Complete the sidewalk repairs by the completion date provided in the City's official notice
- Print and return the Reimbursement Registration Form (available below)
- Provide copies of invoices or receipts. These should be from verifiable businesses. Examples include: Specified concrete (C or M Mix from an IDOT certified supplier), concrete forms, curing compound, reinforcing steel, stone under paving, concrete disposal charges, tool rental and traffic control. Non-acceptable examples: labor, tools that can be reused and backfill dirt.

Step 1
Assess the value of the property. If possible, get an independent appraisal to ensure the value is accurate and to avoid disputes between the buyer and seller.
Step 2
Determine an appropriate capitalization rate, or 'cap rate'. The cap rate is the annualized rental income that a property generates divided by the value of the property. Research average cap rates in your region to get an idea of current market levels. Consider the type of business that will be leasing the property. For businesses with strong credit ratings, such as banks, it may be appropriate for cap rates to be slightly lower than average. For businesses with volatile earnings or lower credit profiles, a higher than average cap rate may be appropriate.
Step 3
Calculate the rental rate. Multiply the capitalization rate by the value of the property to determine the annual rental rate. Divide this figure by 12 to calculate the monthly rental rate. Compare the rental rate with average rates in the same region to ensure it's in line with the market. Specify the annual rate by which the rent will increase to account for inflation.
Step 4
Calculate taxes and expenses. Sale-leaseback arrangements usually involve triple net leases, which require the company leasing the property to pay for all taxes and expenses associated with the occupancy of the property, such as insurance, utilities and maintenance. To calculate the total monthly payments to be carried by the lessee of the property under the sale-leaseback arrangement, add the total amount of monthly taxes and expenses to the monthly rental rate.

Fuzzy Logic and its Application to Web Caching By P.M.Pavan Kiran
What is fuzzy logic? A type of logic that recognizes more than simple true and false values. With fuzzy logic, propositions can be represented with degrees of truthfulness and falsehood.
A Simple Example The Statement Today is sunny can be 100% true if there are no clouds 80% true if there are a few clouds 50% true if it's hazy and 0% true if it rains all day
Classical Set young = { x P | age(x) 20 } characteristic function: young (x) = 1 : age(x) 20 0 : age(x) > 20 A="young" x [years] young (x) 1 0 {
Fuzzy Set Classical Logic Element x belongs to set A or it does not: (x) {0,1} A="young" x [years] A (x) 1 0 Fuzzy Logic Element x belongs to set A with a certain degree of membership: (x) [0,1] A="young" x [years] A (x) 1 0
Types of Membership Functions x (x) 1 0 abcd Trapezoid: x (x) 1 0 ab Singleton: (a,1) and (b,0.5) x (x) 1 0 abd Triangular:
Operators on Fuzzy Sets Union x 1 0 A B (x)=min{ A (x), B (x)} A (x) B (x) x 1 0 A B (x)=max{ A (x), B (x)} A (x) B (x) Intersection x 1 0 A B (x)= A (x) B (x) A (x) B (x) x 1 0 A B (x)=min{1, A (x)+ B (x)} A (x) B (x)
Fuzzy Sets & Linguistic Variables A linguistic variable combines several fuzzy sets. linguistic variable : temperature linguistics terms (fuzzy sets) : { cold, warm, hot } x [C] (x) 1 0 cold warm hot 6020
Fuzzy Rules causal dependencies can be expressed in form of if-then- rules general form: if then example: if temperature is cold and oil is cheap then heating is high linguistic values/terms (fuzzy sets)linguistic variables
if temperature is cold and oil price is low then heating is high if temperature is hot and oil price is normal then heating is low Fuzzy Rule Base Temperature : coldwarmhot Oil price: cheap normal expensive highhighmedium highmediumlow mediumlowlow Heating
fuzzy knowledge base Fuzzy Data-Base: Definition of linguistic input and output variables Definition of fuzzy membership functions Fuzzy Knowledge Base Fuzzy Rule-Base: if temperature is cold and oil price is cheap then heating is high …. x [C] (x) 1 0 cold warm hot 6020
An Example In order to illustrate some basic concepts in Fuzzy Logic, consider a simplified example of a thermostat controlling a heater fan illustrated in Figure 1. The room temperature detected through a sensor is input to a controller which outputs a control force to adjust the heater fan speed.
Conventional Thermostat A conventional thermostat works like an on-off switch (Figure 2). If we set it at 78oF then the heater is activated only when the temperature falls below 75oF. When it reaches 81oF the heater is turned off. As a result the desired room temperature is either too warm or too hot.
Fuzzy Thermostat A fuzzy thermostat works in shades of gray where the temperature is treated as a series of overlapping ranges. For example, 78oF is 60% warm and 20% hot. The controller is programmed with simple if-then rules that tell the heater fan how fast to run. As a result, when the temperature changes the fan speed will continuously adjust to keep the temperature at the desired level.
Figure 2
Designing a Fuzzy Controller Our first step in designing such a fuzzy controller is to characterize the range of values for the input and output variables of the controller Then we assign labels such as cool for the temperature and high for the fan speed, and we write a set of simple English-like rules to control the system..
Design Contd….. Inside the controller all temperature regulating actions will be based on how the current room temperature falls into these ranges and the rules describing the system behavior. The controller's output will vary continuously to adjust the fan speed
The Rule Base The temperature controller described above can be defined in four simple rules: IF temperature IS cold THEN fan_speed IS high IF temperature IS cool THEN fan_speed IS medium IF temperature IS warm THEN fan_speed IS low IF temperature IS hot THEN fan_speed IS zero
The Process A fuzzy controller works similar to a conventional system: it accepts an input value, performs some calculations, and generates an output value. This process is called the Fuzzy Inference Process and works in three steps illustrated in Figure 3: (a) Fuzzification where a crisp input is translated into a fuzzy value, (b) Rule Evaluation, where the fuzzy output truth values are computed, and (c) Defuzzification where the fuzzy output is translated to a crisp value.
Fuzzification During the fuzzification step the crisp temperature value of 78oF is input and translated into fuzzy truth values. For this example, 78oF is fuzzified into warm with truth value 0.6 (or 60%) and hot with truth value 0.2 (or 20%).
Rule Evaluation For 78oF only the last two of the four rules will fire. IF temperature IS warm THEN fan_speed IS low with truth value 0.6 IF temperature IS hot THEN fan_speed IS zero with truth value 0.2
Defuzzification During the defuzzification step the 60% low and 20% zero labels are combined using a calculation method called the Center of Gravity (COG) in order to produce the crisp output value of 13.5 RPM for the fan speed
The Steam turbine Contrller
The Membership functions
The Rule Base rule 1: IF temperature IS cool AND pressure IS weak, THEN throttle is P3. rule 2: IF temperature IS cool AND pressure IS low, THEN throttle is P2. rule 3: IF temperature IS cool AND pressure IS ok, THEN throttle is Z. rule 4: IF temperature IS cool AND pressure IS strong, THEN throttle is N2.
Fuzzification and Rule Inferencing
Why Web Caching? It is widely recognized that slow web sites are primary source of user dissatisfaction. Web Caching is a mechanism widely employed to reduce the latency to retrieve web pages.
What is web Caching? The idea of web caching is to store popular web objects "closer" to the user who requests them such that they can be retrieved faster. Caching also has the effect of reducing the load on the web servers and traffic over network.
Web Caching Web caching can be implemented at different levels They are 1.Client 2.Server 3.Network
Web Caching The web server and web browser are responsible for caching at server and client side respectively. Proxy servers are used for caching at the network level. A proxy server acts as an intermediary between clients and web servers.
Proxy server Many organizations use proxy servers in front of their LANs to save network bandwidth and speed up web page requests serving them locally. Upon receiving requests from multiple clients the proxy server checks from its cache whether the page is already present.
Proxy Server In Case of a cache miss the proxy server forwards the request to the web server. Once the page is returned by the server, the proxy sends it back to the client and stores a copy in the local cache for further requests. If the cache is full one or more pages have to be evicted from the cache.
The Replacement Policies The efficiency and performance of proxy caches depend on their design and management. Replacement policies play a key role for effectiveness of caching. The goal of these policies is to make best use of the available resources by dynamically selecting the pages to cached or evictes.
The fuzzy Database for web caching 1. Identification of the input output variables. 2. Definition of the membership functions. 3. Construction of the rule base.
The Variables The proper choice of process state input variable is essential to the characterization of the operation of a fuzzy system. Three variables as input are chosen, they being Size, Frequency of access, Access recency, i.e time elapsed since the last access.
The Variables The output variable is probability of replacement. The membership functions of each of these variables is plotted from the analysis of various proxy servers and their workloads.
The Membership functions
The rule base
The process Measurement of the values of the input data from the server. Fuzzification Inference from fuzzy rules using Max-Min Inference. Defuzzification using the COG method.
The performance
The End Thank You

Question about Audio Players & Recorders
Hi. I have a Yamaha PAS500 rig with two blown HF compression drivers. I'd like to know the tech specifications of these drivers to source replacements but can't find anything on the Yamaha site. Any ideas?
Posted by Mothra75 on
This unit features 2 -10" passive speakers and HF horn/driver. If you are blowing the HF driver, the problem is with overdriving the high range of EQ. At sustained high volumes, the voice coil of HF driver will overheat and open. If you still have effective warranty, ask Yamaha to replace drivers. Fixed,-- back off higher frequencies of EQ, turn down volume.
