The present invention relates generally to the field of digital photography and digital imaging. More particularly, but not by way of limitation, the present invention relates to a process which provides for the real-time creation of digital images containing multi-layer content on digital imaging devices such as digital cameras.
Since its introduction in the 19th century, the field of photography has seen near continuous improvements in the associated technology. The introduction of the roll film in 1888, the introduction of the colour negative film in 1942, and the development of the Advanced Photo System in 1990 are all examples of the sorts of technological leaps forward that are characteristic of this industry. The introduction of digital photo cameras near the end of the 20th and the beginning of the 21st century marked another substantial step in the evolution of photography, the step into the digital domain. Of course, in the time since its introduction, digital photography has made its way into cell phones, PDAs, etc., all of which has contributed even further to the growing acceptance of the digital photography worldwide.
One factor that has contributed to the widespread adoption of digital photography has been the steady improvement in editing software for use with digital photographs. This sort of software can turn a user's personal computer into a digital editing station and has made it easy to perform basic editing on and save such images.
The quality of digital photographs has progressed to the point where it is suitable for use in commercial settings where high quality is important (e.g., promotional photographs of buildings, objects, etc.) as well as non-commercial settings in connection with momentous occasions, vacations etc. Photography has always provided a motivation for people to shoot pictures of new areas, to explore the world and to chapter the world with photographs that can be shared with friends and relatives. An offshoot of this drive to innovate has been a desire in many users to create "fun" pictures. Although these pictures might take many forms, one popular sort of recreational picture involves using a photo prop to create a humorous or improbable scene, wherein the photo prop takes the form of a painted wood panel with a cartoon-like scene printed on the face thereof. The user then is positioned behind the prop and extends one or more body parts (e.g., his or her head, arms, legs, etc.) through apertures that have been provided in the prop for that purpose. The prop when photographed from the front then captures the image of a recognizable subject in the context of the cartoon illustration of the prop (e.g., the user might appear to be a lion tamer who is beset by lions, etc.).
Today it is possible to create digital images that mimic the use of physical photo props through the use of software that has been specifically developed for that purpose. More specifically, there are a number of software applications that allow the user to combine digital pictures with custom templates to produce novelty images which previously had to be composed physically or created by custom photo processing.
However, such computer applications are not without their problems. First, the user must select one of his or her own digital images from which the subject will be extracted. That image, though, will have been taken for another purpose and will likely be at an illumination level, or scale (e.g., at a different number of pixels per inch) that is incompatible with the intended template, or the size of the subject or photographic angle will not match that of the template's requirements. Of course, some of the foregoing problems may be corrected digitally, but that might require a level of sophistication beyond that of the average user. Additionally such computer-based applications require that the user be able to transfer the pictures from a digital photo device onto the computer, a task that may be beyond those users who traditionally give their magnetic cards over to a vendor to print or that use a direct camera-to-printer connection.
As can be seen from the previous description, the process of creating such a combined picture from an existing photograph potentially requires the execution of several complex steps. Further, the creation of such combined digital images is likely to be costly to the user both in terms of the software that is required and the time that must be invested in order to create a pleasing combined picture. Finally, the user will need to master the various hardware and software interface requirements of his or her personal computer so that pictures can be moved from the digital photo device onto the user's personal computer.
Those of ordinary skill in the art will recognize that increases in the speed and sophistication of the microprocessor resident within digital photo devices has created an opportunity for manufacturers to offer new function features and for independent software developers to produce software that further enhances the camera's abilities. Additionally, the computational power of digital photo devices has grown beyond the simple functionality offered previously by first generation photo cameras and now permits sophisticated programming and image manipulation to take place within the photo device.
Thus, what is needed is a cheaper and more efficient method of creating novelty photos. Preferably the method will be one that requires a lesser investment in hardware and software and that is easier to learn than conventional methods. Additionally it is preferred that the creation process provides for combining multiple layers into a single photograph and that the combined image—including that of the user—be available at least as a preview image in real-time while the image is being composed.
Heretofore, as is well known in the media editing industry, there has been a need for an invention to address and solve the above-described problems. More particularly, there has been a need of a system and method that allows a user to quickly and easily create novelty photographs without a substantial investment in computer software and hardware. Accordingly it should now be recognized, as was recognized by the present inventors, that there exists, and has existed for some time, a very real need for a system and method that would address and solve the above-described problems.
Before proceeding to a description of the present invention, however, it should be noted and remembered that the description of the invention which follows, together with the accompanying drawings, should not be construed as limiting the invention to the examples (or preferred embodiments) shown and described. This is so because those skilled in the art to which the invention pertains will be able to devise other forms of the invention within the ambit of the appended claims.
There is provided herein a system and method for creating composite multi-layered pictures within a digital photo device in real time, wherein the user selects a photographic template, after which the selected template will be displayed on the view screen of the photo device while the user composes a photograph of a subject. When the photograph is taken, the software within the photo device will combine the pre-selected template and the photographic image in real-time to produce a stored image of the subject with the selected template imposed thereon.
According to a preferred embodiment, the instant invention will begin by providing the user with a selection of templates that have been previously stored within the photo device. These templates might consist of graphical information (e.g., a digital image) or data (e.g., parameters of a digital transformation). The graphical templates might show famous people or locations, wherein a portion of each template has been left blank or transparent. These sorts of templates might be provided in an assortment of different sizes and colours. The templates that contain parameter values would be most useful where it was desired to apply a mathematical transformation to the digital image. For example, the stored parameter values might signal that an effect like a mirror-image line should be applied, where the equation of the imaginary line that defines the transformation would be stored as parameters in a template. As another example, a morphological transformation might be specified by storing parameter values in the template which define the portion of the digital image which is to be morphed to fit a predefined shape.
As a next preferred step, the invention will display the selected template to the user via any available display source of the photo device which might include, for example, its full resolution display screen, its preview screen, or its view finder, depending on the particular hardware configuration of the device. The template will preferably be automatically positioned with respect to the camera display at a location which is defined by the parameter settings of the template.
As a next preferred step the user will orient the digital photo device to align the subject which he wants to take a picture of with the selected template. For example, if the selected template has a transparent region that is intended to accommodate an individual's head, the user will point the camera at a human subject and adjust the zoom (or distance to the subject) so that the subject's head appears within the region provided. The user has complete control over the process of filling in the template with a digital image. That is, he or she can reposition the camera, adjust the zoom, ask the subject to reposition himself or herself, change the lighting, activate/deactivate the flash, etc., all the while referring to the camera display device wherein an image of the combined template and photographic subject is available in real time.
After the user has completed the alignment process he or she will be able to take the picture as is conventionally done. The stored digital image will preferably contain the template information combined with the subject information exactly as the combination previously appeared on the display device.
In another preferred embodiment, the instant invention allows the user to create a multi-layer template which will then be applied in composite to the photographic image. In brief, in this preferred embodiment the user will successively select a plurality of templates from among those provided. Preferably the user will also be able to select a combination of graphical and data templates if that is desired. However, in order to assist the user in combining multiple templates into a pleasing composite various selection rules will preferably be imposed.
By way of example only, the sorts of rules that might be utilized include imposing an upper limit on the percentage of the final image that such a multi-layer arrangement can obscure. As another example, a limit might be imposed on the number of graphical templates and data templates that are to be combined. In addition to these sorts of restrictions, the instant invention could also contain a list of incompatible templates, templates that, say, contain no transparent areas of the screen in common or that specify transformations of the digital image that are not productive (e.g., an inverted image that is applied twice will yield the original image). Further, a preferred embodiment of the instant invention might also feature a collision detection algorithm, which helps assure that two templates in a multi-layer arrangement do not obscure each other or completely block the subject image. That is, the collision detection algorithm preferably will check to determine whether the blank areas of the templates interfere with each other and, if they do, the software preferably will not permit the user to select the second template.
Thus, it should be clear to those of ordinary skill in the art that the methods described herein would be a tremendous addition to the capabilities of the digital photo devices which are equipped with the appropriate processing power. This methods taught herein would enable a user to create a wide variety of different photographic images of a subject by providing a selection of templates that can be overlaid on the digital image and displayed in real-time as the user composes the picture. This will enable the user to quickly and easily create memorable novelty pictures without having to cope with the requirements of his or her hardware or software. This process will enhance the value of digital photo devices beyond their primary function and enable even a novice user to create complex composite images in real time without the need of a separate personal computer.
The foregoing has outlined in broad terms the more important features of the invention disclosed herein so that the detailed description that follows may be more clearly understood, and so that the contribution of the instant inventors to the art may be better appreciated. The instant invention is not limited in its application to the details of the construction and to the arrangements of the components set forth in the following description or illustrated in the drawings. Rather the invention is capable of other embodiments and of being practiced and carried out in various other ways not specifically enumerated herein. Additionally, the disclosure that follows is intended to apply to all alternatives, modifications and equivalents as may be included within the spirit and the scope of the invention as defined by the appended claims. Further, it should be understood that the phraseology and terminology employed herein are for the purpose of description and should not be regarded as limiting, unless the specification specifically so limits the invention. Further objects, features and advantages of the present invention will be apparent upon examining the accompanying drawings and upon reading the following description of the preferred embodiments.
Other objects and advantages of the invention will become apparent upon reading the following detailed description and upon reference to the drawings in which:
Referring now to the drawings, wherein like reference numerals indicate the same parts throughout the several views, there is provided a preferred system and method for composing and acquiring in real-time a multi-layered image using a digital photo device. As is generally indicated in
According to a preferred embodiment, a user of the instant system will interact with it by way of graphic display 110, function buttons 115, and a menu system 105, a portion of which menu system 105 is illustrated in
Preferably, the user will interact with the software of the instant invention by way of a menu system 105 of the sort generally depicted in
As is further illustrated in
Some of the principal differences between graphics templates and effects templates are best illustrated by reference to
Consider the example of
It should now be clear that in the preferred arrangement after a graphic template is selected, that template will be superimposed over the preview viewing area such that the user views the normal camera preview image through only those regions of the template that have been made transparent by design. It will then be the responsibility of the user to adjust the camera such that the image of the subject and the aperture(s) in the template come into alignment.
An effect template differs primarily from a graphic template in that it contains parameter values which control the application of an effect to selected parts of the digital image. The effect parameters might or might not (depending on the wishes of the programmer) be subject to alteration by the user. The effects could be of many sorts. In some preferred embodiments, effects will be provided that allow the user to adjust the colour, brightness, contrast or any other image-related aspect of the acquired digital image. In other alternatives, the effects would include image manipulation effects such as image warping, image morphing, image reversal, color substitution, edge enhancement, smoothing, posterizing, etc., which might be applied to all or only a portion of the preview screen. The location, intensity, duration, etc., of these effects may be predefined within the template or the user could be permitted to vary them. The operating logic of this aspect of the instant invention will be discussed in greater detail below. Note that the term "preview screen" as used herein should be interpreted in its broadest sense to include any sort of display screen on which a digital image from the photographic device might be displayed in real time while the user is composing the image before the photograph is actually captured.
As a next preferred step 920, after the user is satisfied with the template selection he or she will begin to align the template as displayed in the preview screen with the photographic subject. In this step the user will be able to make any sort of adjustment allowed by the camera including adjusting the aperture, focus, zoom, orientation (e.g., landscape or portrait) and distance to the subject. The user can adjust the image displayed in the preview screen until he or she is satisfied with the result. Once the user is satisfied, he or she can capture the combined image by pressing the shutter button or otherwise signaling to the camera to take the picture (step 925). The camera will then preferably store the combined image (step 930) as is conventionally done. Of course, the image will be stored in the RAM of the camera, in local non-volatile memory (e.g., non-volatile RAM or local hard disk), transmitted via wired or wireless communications to a remote location for storage, etc. If the user so desires, another picture can be taken with the same template choice (steps 935 and 915). Alternatively, the user might elect to change the template and take additional photographs (the "YES" branch of step 940). Clearly, many variations of this approach might be utilized in practice and those of ordinary skill in the art will be readily able to devise them.
As a next preferred step 1040, a low resolution version of the template will be displayed on the preview device. Of course, those of ordinary skill in the art will understand that the resolution of the preview screen of even a low resolution digital camera is much less than the resolution that is ultimately captured and stored as a digital image. As a consequence, it is advantageous (if from the standpoint of computing power requirements alone) to manipulate and display the selected graphic template as a low resolution image. Similarly, in the event that the user has chosen an effect template, calculating and displaying the selected effect at the lower resolution of the preview device would make it possible for even relatively complex effects to be executed and displayed to the user in near real-time (e.g., as the user is composing the photograph). On the other hand, at the time the template and subject image are combined a full resolution graphic template will preferably be utilized so that the resulting composite image will be as sharp as possible. Similarly, any effect template that has been selected by the user will preferably be applied in full resolution to the digital image before it is stored. For purposes of the instant disclosure, when a "high resolution" template is referred to herein, it should be understood to be a high resolution graphic image (in the case of a graphic template) or a full resolution application of a chosen effect to the recently captured digital image (in the case of an effects template). Similarly, when the term "low resolution" is used that will mean a graphic image or effect that operates at a resolution that is less than that of the digital camera, e.g., at the resolution of the preview device. Note that it is preferred that a low and a high resolution version of each graphic template be stored in the photographic device, although it is certainly possible that the low resolution version could be calculated as-needed from the high resolution version.
As a next preferred step 1045, the user will be allowed to add another template to the photograph if so desired. If the user decides not to add another template, the device will be prepared to photograph a subject (steps 1050 and 1055), after which the combined image will preferably be combined with a high resolution version of the selected graphic template(s) and the selected effect(s) will be applied to the resulting high resolution digital image before storing the final product to non-volatile storage (step 1060).
In the event that the user wishes to select an additional template to combine with the one or more templates already chosen (the "YES" branch of decision node 1045), the program then preferably provides the user with a choice of recommended additional templates (step 1020). In the preferred embodiment, at least some of the recommended companion templates will have been selected in advance by the author of the software program. As an example, and referring once again to
As a next preferred step, the user will choose another template which might be one of the recommended templates or not (step 1025). In either case, but especially in the case of a non-recommended template, the instant invention will preferably next compare the parameters of the selected templates to see if they are compatible (step 1030). As an example of the sorts of parameters that might be examined, the program might compare the transparent regions of the two or more templates to make certain that they coincide to the extent that at least some of the subject is visible through the combination. As another example, certain types of templates might be determined to be incompatible (e.g., two templates which the designer knows have no transparent regions in common) or redundant (e.g., if the same effect is inadvertently selected twice), in which case the user would preferably be notified of this fact and the second of the two templates would preferably not be added to the combination. As still another example, the software might check to determine the total percentage of the digital image that will be covered by the combined templates. In some cases, a software designer might determine that, practically speaking, coverage percentages in excess of a predetermined value are per se undesirable and generate errors when graphical template combinations are selected that block out more the predetermined amount of the subject image. Of course, this determination could either be made on the fly as the templates are selected or determined in advance and stored within the program in the form of an incompatible template list. Finally, a collision detection algorithm might be executed. The collision detection is used to make certain that the selected templates do not obscure one another in a way hat renders the picture taking process useless. The collision detection primarily utilizes the positional data that is incorporated in both the graphic and effect templates and compares these data against the dimensions of the display screen. If a defined blank area in one template is obscured by another template the collision detection intervenes and does not permit the user to insert the selected second template. Additional to that the collision detection intervenes if too much of a specific template is obscured by another template. The definition of the value that specifies the threshold for the intervention can be defined by default or by the user.
Next, and in those instances where the programmer has made provision for such, the inventor will be given the opportunity to adjust the template parameters (step 1033), after which it might be desirable to repeat step 1030 to guard against the event that the user's parameter changes have created a problem in the composite template. If it is determined that the selected template and its parameter values result in a valid selection (the "yes" branch of step 1035), a low resolution version of the composite template combination will preferably be drawn on user's preview screen (step 1040), after which the user would be expected to adjust the aim of the camera until the subject fits within the transparent regions provided (step 1050).
Finally, triggering the shutter mechanism (step 1055) will preferably be followed by application of the high resolution template(s) to the image captured by the digital camera (step 1060). The process of combining the template data and the subject picture data is preferably carried out using methods of picture combination that are well known to those of ordinary skill in the art. For example, a "blue box" technique might be utilized, wherein the data are combined by using alpha channels/alpha blending, etc. As has been discussed previously, the use of the high resolution template versions is recommended to make certain that resulting combined image is as aesthetically pleasing as possible.
Of course, many modifications and extensions could be made to the instant invention by those of ordinary skill in the art. For example in one preferred embodiment the instant invention will be used to create picture postcards that can be distributed to friends and family according to methods well known to those of ordinary skill in the art.
Although much of the previous discussion has concerned the use of templates that completely obscure or replace part of the subject image, it is certainly possible that a template might have some degree of translucency (e.g., in the extreme case a blue-tinted semi-transparent graphic template that creates an "under water" effect and extends over the entire digital image). As a consequence, when a graphic template is referred to herein the graphic should be understood to include those cases where the template is largely (or entirely) translucent. What is important, though, is that part or all of the original photographic subject must be visible therethrough.
Additionally, it is anticipated that in some situations there might be multiple transparent areas within a template that would be designed to accommodate multiple subjects, e.g., a collection of multiple empty face portals into which several individuals' heads could be positioned in a group photo. Further, it should be noted that the term "subject" as used herein should be construed broadly to include both animate and inanimate objects. For example, a template might be provided which contains an image of snow along its base which template might introduce a humorous element into a photograph of the pyramids of Egypt. These and other variations are well within the ability of those of ordinary skill in the art to devise.
Thus, the present invention is well adapted to carry out the objects and attain the ends and advantages mentioned above as well as those inherent therein. While the inventive device has been described and illustrated herein by reference to certain preferred embodiments in relation to the drawings attached thereto, various changes and further modifications, apart from those shown or suggested herein, may be made therein by those skilled in the art, without departing from the spirit of the inventive concept the scope of which is to be determined by the following claims.

Today I'm continuing on with a recap of my NYC trip and I'm excited to share with you about the fun holiday shopping day I got to participate in at The Shops at Columbus Circle & how you can enter for the chance to win the look I put together! If you've never visited before, it is the premier shopping destination in Manhattan - they have a great mix of retail shops, restaurants & even Whole Foods - all in the most beautiful indoor space (which was perfect since it was raining all day!). I joined up with Serena & Amy to partake in the ultimate holiday shopping challenge. We were each given a $1,000 gift card and were asked to shop for head-to-toe looks that would be appropriate for different holiday scenarios. The only rules were that we couldn't purchase all our items from the same store and we had just 4 hours to shop.
I'm always up for a good style challenge, so I was really excited to take this on and to see how far I could make the money stretch by mixing high and low styles. After deliberating for a while, I decided to focus on a New Years' Eve look. Knowing that one lucky reader would win the entire look via a giveaway (see details below), I wanted to select items that would flatter a wide range of women, regardless of their age or body type. So I stuck with sophisticated timeless styles that could be worn again & again for years to come and that would work for many different occasions.
Next we took a quick lunch break at Bouchon Bakery, where we snacked on a charcuterie board and chatted about our shopping strategy for the remainder of the day. After fueling up, there were only two hours left to finish my look so I headed out to find shoes & a coat. J. Crew was my next stop, where I picked up these gleaming metallic pumps & this crystal bracelet (which was on sale!). I was beginning to doubt if I could find a coat before time ran out & I really wanted something that felt festive & luxe. On a whim, I walked into Michael Kors and they were having a huge sale. This alpaca-blend coat was the perfect finishing statement piece - it was on clearance + an extra 30% off!
The Shops at Columbus Circle is graciously offering a giveaway of my complete look - all you have to do is head over to my Instagram, like this photo & leave a comment below to be entered for your chance to win! I will randomly select the winner at the end of the day tomorrow, so don't miss out! Here's a breakdown of the items I purchased to build my New Year's Eve outfit - these are the pieces that one lucky reader will receive:
Michael Kors Alpaca-Blend Coat // H&M Dress // H&M Earrings // Michael Kors Crystal Pavé Ring
J. Crew Mixed Crystal Bracelet // J. Crew Elsie Metallic Pumps // Stila Sending My Love Set
Olivia Palermo x Ciate Nail Polish Set

It wasn't that long until middle school started. I, Ethan Adamson, just got out of elementary school. I was scared to go to 6th grade. New homework, teachers, and bullies was what i was afraid of, but all that was nothing compared to "it".
We had just moved into our new town, Jamesville. Everything was different from our old town. But there was something more terrifying and ferocious than I would ever experience.
My first in counter with "The Lurker" was when I spent my first night in Jamesville. It was during a thunderstorm and I was sleeping on a pallet made of blankets in my new room because we hadn't put my bed in my room yet. Around 1:00 at night, I was awoken by my closet creaking open. Then a lighting strike near by lit up my room, revealing the thing that opened my closet door. It was tall. It was so skinny that you could almost see every bone in its body. But the most horrific part was its face. Its teeth were sharp looking and white and it smiled like an insane person would. But it had no eyes. just empty eye sockets. It looked at me and let out a screech that I will never forget.
It was dark in my room again. But then another fucking light night strike lit up my room, and there he was, standing over me and looking down at me on my pallet. I let out a scream, which made the monster vanish as if it were never there.
My second encounter was less frightening. I was with my mother and my older brother, Victor, in the car driving to my grandmothers house. It was during the night but it wasn't rainy this time. Our grandmother lived out in the country so we had to drive down a road the cuts through a forest. Strangely, the engine died. So my mom tried to restart the car. I looked out the car window into the forest and I saw it coming towards the car. It was getting closer and closer and then it was right at the opening of the forest. I screeched in terror.
"Calm down, I got it to work." Mom said as she drove off.
I looked back were the monster was but it had vanish like it had when I first saw it. My mom and brother didn't even notice it.
We had gotten to our grandmothers house in the next 30-40 minutes. As we pulled in her driveway, I bursted through the car door and ran into the house. Strangely the door was already open. I began to search for my grandmother. I went into the living room, only to find her brutally murdered on her recliner chair. Blood was everywhere. She had been mutilated and beat to death. But whoever or whatever had killed her, left scratches on her face, carving a smile.

The start of Race 2 of the windward leewards series was delayed as the Race Committee changed the course. The breeze was now blowing steadily at 15 knots.
First across the line in IRC Racing was Quattro from Guilty Pleasures III and Brilliant Pearl. The handicap honours were the same.
Overall, after five races, Graham Donnell's Quattro leads the IRC Racing Series by two points over Leon Thomas' Guilty Pleasures III, with Gary McCarthy's Brilliant Pearl third.
Graham Donnell said 'We are enjoying the battle, the windward leewards favoured us but anything could happen tomorrow.'
Performance Racing line honours in Race 2 of the day went to Never a Dull Moment from Iota and Groove. On handicap the win went to Groove, from Iota and Never a Dull Moment.
Sydney 32 Groove is the current Performance Racing Series leader after five races and skipper Belinda Cooper comes from Cairns. Smiling in the afternoon sunshine she said 'We are seven Twisted Sisters – all from Far North Queensland.
'We sailed at Airlie Beach and now at Magnetic Island – we seem to be on the pace and we are certainly working well as a team.'
Groove is two points clear of John McNamara's Iota, with Colin Wilson's Never a Dull Moment one point further back in third.
Gavin Le Sueur's eDoc took the Multihull line honours, well ahead of tussling duo, Barbarella and The Boat, who crossed the line with under a minute between them. eDoc took the handicap win from Barbarella and The Boat.
The Multihull Overall Series leader after three races is eDoc, two points clear of Malice (Mal Richardson) with Barbarella (Mal Tynan) third.
Wes Bailey from Malice explained their retirement from today's race. 'We hit something relatively hard, it might have been a semi-submerged log, we were doing 12 knots at time.
'The impact was on the starboard rudder. The rudder is OK, and it was the rudder housing that was damaged. It's now been fixed and we are ready to go sailing again tomorrow.'
Cruising with Spinnaker Division 1 line honours went to Don Algie's Storm 2, from Phillip King's Solona II with Ron Hayden's Cloud Nine third. Warrigal, James Finch's Finch 40 from the Townsville Yacht club took the handicap win from Alan Sneddon's Pacific Phoenix, with Mick Gillum's Panacea third.
James Finch skipper of Warrigal said 'She likes the lighter conditions, she performed well last year. We have had survival sails up so far. Tomorrow we will get our regatta sails up so we are expecting another good day.'
Overall Series leader of the Cruising with Spinnaker Division 1 after three races is Solona II, two points clear of Amaya (Peter Boxall) with Cloud Nine third.
Cruising with Spinnaker Division 2 line honours went to Gary Bruce's Fly N High. Gary Davidson's Clipper of Capricorn was second, with Jack Maguire's Zen, third. The handicap win went to Peter McKenzie's Le Rossignol from Matthew Stirling's Castle 650 Knight Rider, making a podium debut. Doug Ryan's Magic was third.
Overall Cruising with Spinnaker Division 2 Series leader is Fly 'N' High, five points clear of Salty Dog and Le Rossignol, tied on 13 points apiece.

Racing is scheduled to commence at 11.00am on Cleveland Bay.

I wonder if they're under new ownership. Instead of ordering at the counter and then they bring it to you, they actually have menus and regular table service. I also noticed they no longer use the soda fountain, but rather have canned drinks (the lemonade is still fresh squeezed, though). And there's an alcohol permit notice in the window. I seem to remember they had beer there before. Maybe I'm wrong.
The pulled pork plate was outstanding. The meat was a little crispy around the edges as I like it, and tender and stringy on the inside. The sauce was also very good. It had a vinegary flavor that added tang to the meat. There are also 4 different sauces on the table.
The fried potatoes were so-so…really nothing special. And the cole slaw was equally impressive. The fried jalapeno corn bread was pretty good, but dry.
I'd go back for sure, and order the pulled pork again. I'll have to try my luck with some of the other side dishes.

"I just want to be known as being a good player overall, that guy that everybody looks forward to watching," Thomas said at the recent USA Basketball Fall Mini-Camp.
"I love seeing everybody compete and excited on the court and wanting to win," Thomas said. "I love seeing guys make it tough on each other and want to win.
Thomas made it tough on the other 16U teams in the world last summer in Argentina. He was an integral piece in team USA's run to the gold medal in the Tournament of the Americas.
Thomas values the pre-Olympic experience USA Basketball has given him and the camaraderie with others in his class.
"Everybody is cool with me. Everyone knows I'm versatile. They know I might post up some times, handle it on the wings. I'm friends with all these guys."
Though if given his choice he'd watch LeBron James, it's Melo whom Thomas favors with his game. "Right now I'm trying to work on my game so that it's maybe a Carmelo Anthony game. I'm trying to get bigger, stronger and more aggressive but still have the versatile game like Carmelo does."
Regardless of who he patterns his game after (his father played at Central Missouri), he's going to have his choice of college programs.
"I'm managing it well now," Thomas said of the process. "I've got a lot of contact. I try to tell them that I'm interested in any college that wants to recruit me. As far as my decision, I tell them that I'm going to wait until my senior year. I just let them know I'm interested and I'm glad they're recruiting me."
Florida, North Carolina, Ohio State, Memphis, Tennessee, Arkansas and Stanford sent head coaches to Melrose to eyeball him. Oklahoma State and Oklahoma are in the mix. All have offered except for North Carolina.
AAU teammate Joe Jackson stayed home and will run with the Tigers; other local kids may follow. Thomas sees the movement but maintains the desire to look around with an open mind.
"I'll probably just go wait and watch the season when they're in college to see the chemistry with the team. I'm willing to leave and willing to stay."
Since the end of summer, Thomas has seen the campuses of Florida, Arkansas and Memphis.

What is giardiasis?
Giardiasis is a diarrheal illness of the small intestine. It is fairly common among children and travelers. It is caused by the parasite, Giardia intestinalis. A parasite is an organism that is dependent on another organism to survive. Giardiasis is spread by the contamination of food or water, or by person-to-person contact.
Who gets giardiasis?
- Travelers to countries with poor sanitation
- People in close contact settings (notably childcare centers)
- Those in close contact with someone who has the disease
- People who drink untreated water
- People who come in close contact with animal feces
- People who come into contact with feces during sex
What are the symptoms of giardiasis?
- Mild to severe watery diarrhea
- Fever
- Chills
- Nausea
- Abdominal pain
- Bloating
- Weight loss
How soon do symptoms appear?
Symptoms can appear anywhere from 3 to 25 days after exposure; 10 days after exposure is most common.
How is giardiasis spread?
Giardiasis is spread by the contact of infectious feces of humans and animals. Contaminated food and water contain cysts (or hard shells containing giardia). Cysts are immediately infectious when swallowed. In the United States, the disease is most often spread in close contact settings when hands are not properly washed and from contaminated water.
How common is giardiasis?
Giardiasis is common throughout the world, but is more common in countries where there is poor sanitation. It is the most common protozoan (group of tiny organisms) illness reported in the United States. Many campers and hikers who drink from unsanitary rivers report getting giardiasis. About 33% of people in underdeveloped countries get this illness.
How is giardiasis diagnosed?
To diagnose giardiasis, doctors may take several stool samples and send them off to a lab. The lab tests for Giardia parasites in the stool or by doing a more sensitive test called the Enzyme-Linked ImmunoSorbentAssay (ELISA). If the illness is bad enough, a doctor may take a sample of the lining of the small intestine with an endoscope (a slender medical tool), in a procedure called endoscopy.
How is giardiasis treated?
Giardiasis may be treated by taking prescription medicines. The most common prescription drugs prescribed for giardiasis are metronidazole (Flagyl), tinidazole (Tindamax), and nitazoxanide (Alinia). The medicine will kill off the protozoan organism.
Treatment usually takes 5 to 7 days. It is important that every prescribed pill is taken. Although most patients will respond to one course of the medicine, it is not uncommon for a patient to require another course if the response is not complete.
How do you prevent giardiasis?
- Practice good hygiene: Wash hands often with soap and clean running water for 20 seconds, especially before and after eating, after using the toilet, and after coming in contact with your own or someone else's germs.
- Do not drink water that may be contaminated: Do not drink untreated water from pools, lakes, rivers, ponds, and so on. If there is even a slight chance the water may be contaminated, either drink bottled water or boil the water for 5 minutes.
- Avoid eating food that may be contaminated: Wash all fruits and vegetables thoroughly under hot water. Do not eat raw or undercooked meats, especially in underdeveloped countries where the water and food may be contaminated. Drink bottled water when in underdeveloped countries.
- Prevent contact with feces during sex: Practice safe sex, especially using protection during oral-anal sex, and wash hands immediately after.
- Clean up after sick pets: Use gloves and dispose of pet feces in a plastic bag and put it in the garbage. After, wipe up the infected area with hot steaming water and a strong disinfectant. Wash anything that may have been contaminated in the washer with detergent and hot water.

Frequently Asked Questions About Summer Camp
Aloha Beach Camp FAQ
Before you sign up for camp, we realize you may have questions. We've done our best to answer them here, but please don't hesitate
contact us
for additional information any time.
Program and Activity Questions
1. What is Aloha Beach Camp?
Aloha Beach Camp is an aquatic-themed summer day camp for kids, teens, and tweens in Los
Angeles, California. The camp is comprised of three age-appropriate programs under the Aloha
Beach Camp name:
Keiki Camp
is exclusively for younger campers ages 4 through 7
Kahuna Camp
is for campers 8 to 11
High Action Camp
is for older kids 12 to 15 years old
All three programs offer
and exciting aquatic camp activities, convenient
to and from camp, top-notch staff and equipment, low camper-to-counselor
100% safety records
, and no-questions-asked,
100% money-back
2. If Keiki Camp's for younger kids, what's the difference between the Kahuna and High Action Camps?
Kahuna Camp
High Action Camp
are mostly the same with respect to activities and
campsite locations. One main difference is the Kahuna Camp visits
Paradise Cove
on a
routine basis, whereas the High Action Camp generally does not. In addition, the pace of
the Kahuna Camp is somewhat slower than the High Action Camp for a more
age-appropriate camp experience.
3. Why Doesn't the High Action Camp Go to Paradise Cove?
In previous years the High Action kids visited not just Paradise Cove on a routine basis,
but many other beaches from Oxnard to the South Bay. This summer we've decided to
stick with Zuma, Castaic Lake, and Oxnard/Ventura predominantly because the older kids
seem to like those more, however, from time-to-time High Action kids may still visit
Paradise Cove as well as other beaches, who knows?!
4. What are the Camp Activities?
When you sign up for Aloha Beach Camp, you'll enjoy more than 200 safe and fun beach
camp activities ranging from surfing to sand-castle-building to boogie boarding and
more. Here's a look at this summer's
Keiki Camp
Kahuna Camp
High Action Camp
daily activity schedules.
5. What are the 2017 Summer Camp Dates?
The first day of camp is Monday, June 12. The last day is Friday, August 18. Camp will be
closed Tuesday, July 4.
6. What Time Does Camp Start and End?
Assuming your camper
takes the bus
to and from camp each day, morning pick-up is
generally between 8:00 AM and 9:00 AM, and afternoon drop-off between 4:00 AM and
5:00 PM. If you are dropping off and/or picking up your child at camp, we suggest
arriving at 9:45 AM for morning drop-off and 2:35 PM for afternoon pickup.
Transportation Questions
7. How Will We Get to Camp?
, on safety-equipped, fully insured buses and vans is available from your
area. To ensure short rides and reliable schedules, we have arranged convenient meeting
points. Morning pick-up is between 8:00 - 9:00 AM, and afternoon drop-off is between 4:00
and 5:00 PM. A link to the transportation sign up form (which includes a detailed pick up and
drop off schedule with specific meeting times) will be available in this space soon.
8. Who Drives the Buses?
Driving duties are typically handled by professional school bus drivers, and sometimes Aloha
Beach Camp counselors. Each vehicle usually has at least one additional
staff member
board for added safety and supervision.
9. What are the pick-up and drop-off boundaries?
A detailed bus information chart will be posted soon with exact meeting point areas along
with pick-up and drop-off times. Meanwhile, below you will find a general list of bus stops.
(Please keep in mind new stops may be added, and exiting ones consolidated, depending on

We also have pick-up points at:
3rd Street School in Hancock Park

Enrollment Form
for transportation. As you are
completing that section of your form, you will be able to choose your meeting point.
11. Do the Buses Have Seat Belts?
Yes. All Aloha Beach Camp vehicles are equipped with seat belts which are required to be
worn by every passenger at all times.
12. What if We Live Outside the Bus Service Area?
If you live outside our transportation boundries, please
let us know
because we still may be
able to accommodate you.
General Summer Camp Questions
13. Is Aloha Beach Camp Accredited?
Yes. Aloha Beach Camp is fully accredited by the
American Camp Association
. In fact, we are
the first and ONLY accredited beach camp in the Los Angeles area. If the summer camp
safety standards so be careful!
14. Are You Having Any Open Houses?
Yes. Our next
open hou
for the 2017 summer camp season is Sunday, May 21 at Zuma
Beach, Malibu, Lifeguard Tower 6. We may have additional open houses later in the spring; if
so, we will post details here. Meanwhile, if the May 21 date doesn't work for you, you can
always host an Aloha Beach Camp open house event at your home or office. In this case,
we'll visit your location to discuss the Aloha Beach Camp program with your friends, family or
co-workers, and you'll get a nice discount and free camp merchandise for your time as the
host. There's no cost or obligation, and these are fun events for everyone so if you're
please let us know
15. Where is the Camp Located?
There is no traditional campsite like you'll find at other camps. Instead, the beautiful
California coastline
is our campsite! Aloha Beach Camp's
Keiki Camp
program takes place at
Paradise Cove, Malibu with occasional field trips to Zuma Beach. The
High Action Camp
place at Zuma Beach on most Mondays, Tuesdays, and Fridays with Wednesday field trips to
Castaic Lake and Thursday field trips to places like Channel Islands Harbor for ocean kayaking
Kahuna Camp
does the same, except Kahuna campers also visit Paradise Cove and
other beaches as a regular part of their beach camp program. The
Keiki Camp activity
Kahuna Camp
activity schedule
, and
High Action Camp activity
schedules indicate
where we'll be on which day. (From time-to-time we may add additional activities, change
locations, and incorporate special events which could change the preplanned schedule, but we
will always do our best to let you know beforehand.)
16. What is the Camp's Philosophy?
Kids who participate in our program enjoy a camp experience that rivals the most memorable
times of their lives. They develop lifelong water safety skills and master new aquatic sports like
surfing and boogie boarding. They study beach and ocean safety, wave judgment and
selection and how to swim safely in the ocean and more, always with an emphasis on beach
safety and environmental respect. When summer's over, Aloha kids come away with a new
sense of confidence, esteem, and appreciation for the beach and ocean environment so they
can enjoy these natural wonders safely all their lives.
17. Who are the Camp Counselors?
camp staff
is comprised of college students, teachers, and childcare professionals with
years of experience working with kids...and years of experience working at Aloha Beach
Camp. Most are returning for their 5th or 6th year working with us. Many have grown up
through our program starting as campers and working their way up the ranks to become
counselors and directors. Our staff is chosen for their ability to work with kids in a leadership
capacity plus serve as positive role models. Aloha camp counselors must pass a rigorous
3-phase interview process including at least two, person-to-person interviews, 3rd party
reference checks, and a criminal background check Their top priorities are protecting your
child's safety while making sure they have lots of fun at camp!
18. Is Prior Ocean Experience Required to Participate?
Absolutely not! Aloha Beach Camp's activities are instructional and presented at each child's
most comfortable pace. Some campers are experiencing the beach and ocean environment for
the first time while others are more experienced. Our program is designed to accommodate
kids from every aquatic background so everyone will be safe and have fun no matter what.
19. Is it Safe?
Not only is this a very important question, it's one we're asked quite often as you can imagine
Please know we are sensitive to your concerns and impose
strict safety
at all times.
Our equipment is top-of-the-line, our
is experienced and well-trained, and our risk
management program virtually eliminates risk where it can be eliminated. You'll be pleased to
know any risks you can think of are generally more perceived than actual. One thing we hope
you won't do is deny your child a fantastic beach camp experience at Aloha because you think
it might be less safe than traditional camps. Truth is, you'll be hard-pressed to find another
camp ANYWHERE where your child will be safer than they will with us...and our 16-year, 100
safety record proves it. In fact there's a motto we picked up from some old sailing buddies we
now use as our underlying philosophy: "If it's not safe, we're not gonna do it, and if it's not
fun, we're not gonna do it very long." We welcome your
calls and emails
to discuss
further detail.
Enrollment and Tuition Questions
20. What is "Day-by-Day Enrollment?"
Day-by-day enrollment
gives you complete flexibility in planning for camp. You can truly
customize your own camp schedule. You don't have to conform to rigid camp sessions
because we don't even have any sessions. Instead you can send your child to camp a day
here, a day there ... whatever works best for your family. Feel free to take a family vacation
send your child to summer school, or even attend other camps. Day-by-day enrollment
means your other summer activities won't conflict with camp scheduling ever again. Just tell
us which days you want to come to camp (they can be any days you want), and as long as

money, guarantee their space at camp, and make the most of the summer experience. With a

guarantee. After the first two days, there will be no refunds.)

Legendary Watering Holes: The Saloons That Made Texas Famous
Richard F. Selcer
Texas A&M University Press, 2004 - Business & Economics - 307 pages
Saloons, barrooms, honky-tonks, or watering holes—by whatever name, they are part of the mythology of the American West, and their stories are cocktails of legend and fact, as Richard Selcer, David Bowser, Nancy Hamilton, and Chuck Parsons demonstrate in these entertaining and informative accounts of four legendary Texas establishments.
In most Western communities, the first saloon was built before the first church, and the drinking establishments far outnumbered the religious ones. Beyond their obvious functions, saloons served as community centers, polling places, impromptu courtrooms, and public meeting halls. The authors of this volume discuss both the social and operational aspects of the businesses: who the owners were, what drinks were typically served, the democratic ethos that reigned at the bars, the troubling issues of social segregation by race and gender within each establishment, and the way order was maintained—if it was at all.
Here, the spotlight is thrown on four saloons that were legends in their day: Jack Harris's Saloon and Vaudeville Theater in San Antonio, Ben Dowell's Saloon in El Paso, the Iron Front of Austin, and the White Elephant of Fort Worth. Together with architectural renderings of the floor plans and old photographs of the establishments and some of their more famous customers, the history of each is woven into the history of its city. Fatal shootings are recounted, and forms of entertainment are described with care and verve.
One of this book's most fascinating aspects is the sharp detail that brings to life the malodorous, smoky interiors and the events that took place there. Selcer and his co-authors are experts on their respective watering holes. They start with the origins of each establishment and follow their stories until the last drink was served and the places closed down for good. There are stops along the way to consider the construction of the ornate bars, the suppliers of the liquor served, the attire of the gentlemen gamblers, the variety of casino games that emptied men's pockets, and more. Through the wealth of detail and the animated narrative, a crucial part of Texas' Western heritage becomes immediately accessible to the present.

So I made sure he knew I was really happy about that and tried to give him treats, but he won't eat when he's scared. Now I have him in the crate since I need to crate him for work tomorrow and he hasn't been in it much yet. He doesn't seem to mind.
I leave for work at 6:30--trying to decide if I should just walk him and give him Rescue Remedy and stick him in the crate, or let my roommate who leaves at 9 do it so he's in there for less time. I'm thinking just get him used to being in there for awhile? I'll be gone 'til about 12:30, come home and then leave again at 1:00 for an interview. I don't think he'll pee in there.

While seeing tech growth, Pittsburgh struggles to be inclusive, study says
Pittsburgh's creative and technology sectors are growing rapidly, but the city still faces significant challenges when it comes to retaining talent in the city, according to a new study by the Pittsburgh Technology Council and Carnegie Mellon University.
Pittsburgh saw tremendous growth in seven creative sectors from 2006 to 2011, the report showed. Comparatively, in the fields of media and communications; creative industry support; data sciences; design and engineering; entertainment; fine arts; and software, only three saw growth nationally, with four showing consistent rates of decline.
"Across all of these different sectors, what you see is that Pittsburgh has done really well and showed strong growth," said Kevin Stolarick, the keynote speaker at Feb. 19's Pittsburgh Creative Industries Summit, a forum to discuss the new report.
But while Pittsburgh's growth numbers range from 3 percent to 7 percent higher than the national average among all seven sectors, the report highlighted the fact that the city struggles to convince young talent attracted to institutions like Carnegie Mellon University and the University of Pittsburgh to remain local after graduation.
Accordingly, a major goal of the study was to understand why young people, particularly those in creative and technology sectors, often move to other tech-heavy cities after finishing their studies.
"We want to know, 'What's the elephant in the room? What's prohibiting us from being prosperous?'" Audrey Russo, president and CEO of the Pittsburgh Technology Council, said at the summit.
Russo highlighted points from the study that conclude Pittsburgh struggles to be an inclusive city. She said the area does not cater to foreign-born residents, African Americans and Latinos, or the gay and lesbian community.
Compared to 20 peer cities, including Austin, Texas; San Francisco; Los Angeles; and San Jose, Calif., Pittsburgh ranks last on the diversity and inclusion metric, the study shows.
"We can say that we're welcoming, but the numbers tell a different story," Russo said.
Dr. Kevin Stolarick, the keynote speaker at the summit, echoed sentiments that Pittsburgh needs to focus on inclusion if the city wants to become a tech giant. Stolarick said he talked to a number of university students who said they do not feel welcome in the community and look forward to leaving Pittsburgh after graduation.
The report shows that 18 percent of Pittsburgh's population over the age of 25 holds bachelor's degrees. When asked to rate Pittsburgh on 10 different factors impacting quality of life in the city, survey participants for the study rated Pittsburgh lowest in regard to career opportunities.
"What it shows is that you're educating more people than you're able to use," Stolarick said.
Stolarick said the good news is that talent is here, and the challenge for the next six years is not getting it, but keeping it.
Part of the way to do this will be by engaging young people in the community, said Rebecca Lucore, chief of staff of the Bayer MaterialScience LLC Center at CMU. Lucore, speaking at a panel discussion during the event, said engagement needs to not only look at how to retain university students, but also how to capitalize on Pittsburgh natives who have a passion for the city.
Panelists agreed with the Tech Council and said communication and inclusion need to be high priorities for the city going forward.
"I also am bothered by the notion of inclusion," said Curtiss E. Porter, chief education and neighborhood reinvestment officer for the city of Pittsburgh, also a panelist. "It doesn't seem like we readily grab the opportunities for inclusion that are at our feet."
