GNU parallel is a shell tool for executing jobs in parallel locally or using remote computers. A job is typically a single command or a small script that has to be run for each of the lines in the input. The typical input is a list of files, a list of hosts, a list of users, a list of URLs, or a list of tables. If you use xargs today you will find GNU parallel very easy to use, as GNU parallel is written to have the same options as xargs. If you write loops in shell, you will find GNU parallel may be able to replace most of the loops and make them run faster by running several jobs in parallel. GNU parallel makes sure output from the commands is the same output as you would get had you run the commands sequentially. This makes it possible to use output from GNU parallel as input for other programs.
MIMEDefang is a flexible MIME email scanner designed to do all kinds of email processing, including anti-virus scanning, anti-spam scanning, replacing parts of messages with URLs, adding boilerplate disclaimers, and so on. It can alter or delete various parts of a MIME message according to a Perl-based policy filter. It can also bounce messages with unacceptable attachments and modify SMTP response codes on the fly. It works with the Sendmail 8.11 and newer "Milter" API, which makes it more flexible and efficient than procmail-based approaches.
PHP MIME Mail decoder class is a PHP class to parse and decode MIME email messages. It supports decoding single RFC 2822 MIME messages or archives that aggregate multiple messages in the mbox format. It can decode messages read from files or data strings. The bodies of multipart messages can be decoded into distinct sub-messages. Optionally, the message body data can be saved to separate files, so the class can handle messages larger than the available memory. The parser can tolerate some syntax errors in malformed messages that are not compliant with RFC 2822.
Clam AntiVirus is an anti-virus toolkit designed especially for email scanning on mail gateways. It provides a number of utilities, including a flexible and scalable multi-threaded daemon, a commandline scanner, and a tool for automatic database updates. The core of the package is an anti-virus engine available as a shared library.
ffe is a flat file extractor. It can be used for reading different flat file structures and displaying them in different formats. ffe can read fixed length and separated text files and fixed length binary files. It is a command line tool developed under GNU/Linux. The main areas of use are extracting particular fields or records from a flat file, converting data from one format to an other, e.g. from CSV to fixed length, verifying a flat file structure, as a testing tool for flat file development, and displaying flat file content in human readable form.
htmLawed is a PHP script that makes input text more secure, HTML standards-compliant, and suitable in general from the viewpoint of a Web-page administrator, for use in the body of HTML 4 or XHTML 1 or 1.1 documents. It is a customizable HTML/XHTML filter, processor, purifier, and sanitizer. It can ensure that HTML tags are balanced and properly nested tags, neutralize code that may be used for cross-site scripting (XSS) attacks, and limit the allowed HTML elements, tags, attributes, or URL protocols.
Horde Groupware Webmail Edition is an enterprise ready browser-based communication suite. Users can read, send, and organize email messages and manage and share calendars, contacts, tasks, and notes with the standards compliant components from the Horde Project. It bundles the separately available applications IMP, Ingo, Kronolith, Turba, Nag, and Mnemo. It can be extended with any of the released Horde applications or the Horde modules that are still in development, like a file manager, a bookmark manager, a forum, or a wiki.

Softcover: 376 pages
Steve Coe has been watching the deep sky from locations near his home in Arizona for almost 20 years. During that time he has accumulated a wealth of knowledge, observations, hints and tips that will help every deep sky observer, regardless of experience.
This, his first book, gives detailed practical advice about how to find the best observing site, how to make the most of the time spent there, and what equipment and instruments to take along. There are comprehensive lists of deep sky objects of all kinds, along with Steve's own observations describing how they look through telescopes with apertures ranging from 8 to 36 inches (0.2 - 0.9 m).
Most of all, this book is all about how to enjoy astronomy. Steve's enthusiasm and sense of wonder shine through every page as he invites you along on a tour of some of the most beautiful and fascinating sites in the deep sky.

The ST-i Planet Cam and Autoguider adds features unavailable elsewhere in a camera of this size and price. A high performance compact camera that is an excellent guider and very capable Planet Camera. The body is light weight, no larger than many 1.25" eyepieces. In fact, it is 1.25" in diameter, 3.5" long and weighs only 2.2 ounces. The camera receives both control signals and power from the USB port of your computer, so only one thin USB cable is required for using the camera as an imager. For guiding, a standard, opto-isolated, autoguider output port is located in the back panel.
KODAK KAI-340 CCD - Mono or Color
Rather than using a low cost CMOS sensor (with high noise), the ST-i uses a high quality, low noise, Kodak CCD. The KAI-340 CCD has a measured read noise of only 9e- in the ST-i camera. This is the same CCD used as the guiding sensor in the new STX series cameras and the AllSky-340 cameras. The array is 648 x 484 pixels at 7.4 microns square. Anti-blooming is standard. SBIG uses only the Class 1 version of this CCD with 0 column defects, 0 cluster defects, 0 dead pixels, and 0 saturated pixels, all according to Kodak specifications. On-chip binning is available for 14.8u pixels if desired, and various sub-frame modes may be used to speed-up the focus and download rates. A full frame high res image will update at the rate of approximately 5 frames per second. In addition to full-frame, half-frame and quarter-frame modes, the user may select a sub-frame region of interest (ROI) of any size located anywhere on the CCD. In focus mode, using a 20 x 20 pixel box the update rate is greater than 20 frames per second. This sensor is available in monochrome or color.
Kodak describes the performance of this CCD: "Designed for demanding imaging applications, this sensor has additional features including electronic shuttering, peak QE (quantum efficiency) of 55%, extremely low noise and low dark current. These features give this sensor exceptional sensitivity and make it ideal for machine vision, scientific, surveillance, and other computer input applications."
This sensor has an electronic shutter allowing exposure times as short as 0.001 seconds. Most other eyepiece sized cameras rely on this type of "global" shutter alone due to the difficulty and cost of building an additional mechanical shutter into the camera body. However, in the ST-i camera SBIG has also included a mechanical shutter enabling the camera to automatically take dark frames. This feature alone dramatically improves the performance of the ST-i, particularly when used as an autoguider. Cooling of the CCD to reduce dark current is unnecessary at the short exposure times common to planetary imaging and autoguiding, but there remains the possibility of bright pixels in an image that can raise the threshold of brightness required for the most sensitive guiding performance. The ability to automatically take and subtract a dark frame results in a very smooth background against which detection of dim stars is more reliable. Finally, while some inexpensive guiders save cost by using low cost 8 bit or 10 bit electronics, the ST-i camera uses a high quality 16-bit A/D for superior resolution of the full dynamic range of the CCD, greater than 70 dB.
Planet Master Commands in CCDOPS
The Planet Master command is used to take the sharpest images of planets or other objects. It takes a sequence of images, grading them for sharpness and keeps the sharpest one. Typically you would take short exposures, knowing that throughout the sequence a stable period of seeing will give a clear image.
The Planet Master command beeps twice each time a sharper image is acquired.
When you're all done hit the Done key and the Sharpest image will be shown.
The dialog also shows you the current sharpness and the best sharpness in terms of a Figure of Merit (FOM).
If the object is too bright even with the shortest exposures you may find placing an aperture mask over the telescope or using neutral density filters will get the brightness in range.

Supports all Canon EOS lenses, except EF-S series
Built around a 12.8-megapixel (effective) CMOS sensor, covering the same area as a 35mm film frame, the Canon EOS 5D provides "full frame" digital SLR technology at a much more affordable price point than ever before. "Affordable" is definitely a relative term though, as the Canon 5D's $3500 retail price (at announcement) still puts it beyond the reach of all but the most well-heeled photo enthusiasts and professionals. At the same time, our lens-testing work on SLRgear.com has shown that full-frame cameras like the Canon EOS 5D place much greater demands on lens quality than sub-frame designs like the Canon 20D and Digital Rebel series. -- If you're seriously considering a Canon 5D for your photo kit, you'd better budget several times its cost for the highest-quality "L"-series lenses that you'll need to take full advantage of its potential. The Canon 5D will deliver incredible image quality when paired with excellent lenses, but will quickly expose every flaw in lower-grade glass.
Following in the impressive footsteps laid down by earlier members of the highly-acclaimed Canon EOS line of digital SLRs, the new 5D definitely upholds its EOS lineage. While a truly excellent photographic tool though, it doesn't automatically represent a slam-dunk choice between it and a sub-frame camera -- or even between it and the much more expensive EOS-1Ds Mark II. The 5D struck us as an odd mixture of consumer and professional aesthetics, a slightly uncomfortable fit in the current world of d-SLRs. For people addicted to ultrawide angle photography with a substantial investment in full-frame wide angle lenses, it will probably be a no-brainer. But for someone not already invested in wide-angle glass, you could buy an EOS-30D and Canon's excellent little 10-22mm EF-S wide-angle lens and have more than just change to spare relative to the cost of the 5D body alone. Not only that, but the 10-22mm's performance on a 30D will be superior to that of most ultrawide full-frame lenses on the 5D. After only a little shooting with it, it became manifestly clear that this was a camera that absolutely shows up every minute flaw in a lens' performance, particularly in the corners of the frame. The sub-frame cameras also have the advantage of being markedly faster than the 5D in continuous mode, in part a consequence of the larger mirror that the 5D needs to flap back and forth between shots.
On the upper end of the scale, the massive EOS-1Ds Mark II does have some advantages relative to the 5D, namely a more rugged construction, a more long-lived shutter, perceptibly better resolution, and noticeably better noise characteristics. (The 1Ds Mark II shows higher noise amplitude, but finer "grain" structure, making it less objectionable overall.) It might be hard to argue that these advantages justify the $4,000+ price increment between the 5D and 1Ds Mark II, but if you're looking for the ultimate full-frame experience (with price no object), the 1Ds Mark II is still the way to go.
On the other hand, full-frame purists with more modest budgets or unwilling to lug around the daunting weight of a 1Ds Mark II will find an awful lot to like in the 5D. It's also a more approachable camera for the casual shooter, thanks to its Picture Styles (think of them as film types, one more suited to portraits, one more suited to landscape shots, etc) and slightly more aggressive in-camera sharpening. The bottom line is that the 5D is a better camera if you really want to use JPEGs from the camera as the final file format (without processing after the fact on a computer). Also, while we've been speaking glibly of "full-frame purists," shooters only just now making the move from traditional film-based SLRs may find that the 5D offers a much more comfortable transition than would a sub-frame model. We encountered the opposite side of this in shooting with the 5D, as we found ourselves having to really re-think framing and focal lengths after our long immersion in the sub-frame world. Moving from a film SLR to the 5D would be a relatively painless change, as all your lenses would behave exactly the same as they did on your film body. (Except you'd now see all their flaws magnified and splashed across your computer screen.)
If you're not a die-hard full-frame fan though, a Canon EOS-5D may not be the best choice for you. A 30D with the Canon EF-S 10-22mm wide-angle zoom and a good-quality intermediate zoom would actually be a more powerful picture-taking machine, and likely one costing a lot less than the 5D body alone.
We expect to see Canon continue their evolution of full-frame d-SLRs, and also work more on their L-glass lenses to bring lens performance into line with the demands of full-frame digital sensors. Our guess is that this will ultimately be the way a lot of the SLR market will go, at least in the fullness of time. For now though, it's our opinion that sub-frame digital SLRs offer a better cost/performance ratio.
For the record, we highly recommend the Canon EOS-5D as a full-frame d-SLR option, but do counsel readers to consider their sub-frame options carefully before taking the plunge with a 5D.

Image quality (it's FULLL FRME), substantial hand grip
Poor LCD, body paint (getting shiny over time), heavy, manual ISO setting
This is an old FF SLR (2005) but still takes wonderful images with great details and fine grain at higher ISOs even 3200 (compared to current APS-C SLR). I love the images this camera produced...
Things you should've noticed before buying this camera: the back LCD is low res (compared to current LCD display), and the user interface is dated. There is no AF microadjustment feature and the battery life is short.

Still nothing better for image quality
Gren cast to monitor
This , put quite simply is an awesome camera. Now available secondhand for about the price of an entry level APS-C Canon or Nikon with bundled kit lens in the UK , given the massive price hikes, this is fantastic value.
If you are not interested in gimmicks like face recognition, flip out screens, live view, video and so on, just wanting a quality still camera, look no further.
The resolution this camera offers is up there with current kit costing four times as much, see Ken Rockwells 5D v D3 resolution tests if you dont believe this.
For Landcape and portrait Photography this camera still cuts it.
If you have been using a crop body the first thing you will notice is the mirror action, it sounds large, quite a chunk after the mini mirrors in the crop bodies.
The depth of field takes a bit of re-adjusting to as well, back to the days of 35mm, you will have to get used to stopping down a deal more than with APS C.
The upside of this of course is that isolating subjects with the right lens is easy.
Dont believe all the "new" old wives tales about full frame being hard on lenses either, if you were happy with your lenses with film, they will do exactly the same job on this camera.
The truth is, APS C allowed indifferent lenses to perform above their quality standard , a fact now seemingly forgotten.
Faults? A dim ( by2009 standards anyway) monitor with a grotty green cast, a frame rate not best suited to action, a flash has to be carried as well.
In conclusion?
If you want a top quality camera , not yet eclipsed for output quality for landscape, travel and portrait work, you wont find anything better for much less than 2K.

moderately-good overall, good value in a fullframe
lacks newer features like auto-ISO
This is an excellent example of the prosumer Canon DSLR except that it has one problem in common with just about all of the CMOS-sensored DSLR from Canon, in that it produces a lot of streak-noise in continuous-drive at ISo1600 and 3200 that shows up at about -3eV, which really ruins the shots taken in low light. It's also somewhat lacking in shadow resolution compared to the d300.
Otherwise it's a great camera, very clean, decent color, not feature-laden like the d300/d700/d3, but still very good. Focuses reliably in low light, frame handles well, nice viewfinder, fits well. Would be just about perfect except for the streak-noise. Only way around it is to shoot in single-shot mode and wait for the shot buffer to flush between each shot.

Excellent image quality
Large and heavy, no sensor cleaning features
The 5D has been on the market for a long time, but it still compares well to the competition. Full frame means lenses don't need quite the resolving power in the center, but they have to perform well at the edges and corners.
It also means lenses work as they do with film bodies. If you like to use primes, this is a good thing. If you prefer to use a single general-purpose zoom, it can also be a bad thing.
Depth of field is reduced compared to crop bodies. You'll need to stop down the lens more to get adequate depth of field, and this can mean in some situations that you lose the high ISO advantage over typical crop bodies. However, it also means you have more flexibility in isolating your subject, and you can often avoid shooting wide open, where lenses often don't perform so well.
Some lenses really shine with the 5D, such as the 85/1.8 and the 100/2.8 macro. Others, such as the 28/2.8 and 35/2 don't do very well at all. The 24-105 kit lens makes an excellent general purpose zoom for the 5D.
The viewfinder image appears much larger than with crop bodies, making it easier to see focus and subject detail, but I wear glasses, and I find I have to shift my position to see the digital display at the bottom. Overall, I think I prefer the best crop body viewfinders such as the 40D, but it's a world better than the 350D viewfinder. For those who don't wear glasses, I think the 5D viewfinder would be nearly ideal.
The user interface of the 5D is simple, and that is for the most part a good thing. I do find some settings change accidentally, such as the viewfinder focus dial and the main control dial.
Recently the 5D has finally had some real competition, but the 5D has also become less expensive. It's still a good buy.

Image Quality, size
No doubt the EOS 5D became a lightening rod of criticism and praise when it first debuted. As the first "affordable" FF, few DSLRs have had as vicious of attacks.
Put simply, compared to my previous Canon 35mm film cameras, the image quality output exceeds that of 35mm film for many applications. There are instances where film may still offer special qualities, but I am quite pleased with the 5D's Image Quality.
There is a noted difference compared to the crop cameras wrt DOF. The DR is good (if not quite that of color print film.) Colors are good (whether or not one uses the in camera processor or Canon's DPP.)
Weaknesses: This is a High Amateur Body, which means it is not as fully specified as Canon's professional cameras. For my purposes the limitations are mainly in metering and exposure control. Others may find the 3 fps to be limiting but I rarely do.
Also, overall I prefer Canon's human interface, but switching between AI Servo and One Shot focusing is still awkward without VF confirmation.
Conclusion: this is not a camera to buy on a whim, given the price. However, it is with good reason that it is desired by many photographers.

Great working tool. Fine images, compact size.
Hidden mirror lockup.
This is the camera that stopped me lusting after the 1 series. I hired a 1Ds Mk II for a job, and it is a beast. Also very slow to navigate if you are used to the 10 and 20D (and D60 before that). I'm sure you get used to having to use two hands for navigation, but it didn't come naturally to me.
The 5D on the other hand is just like using a big 20D or 30D. A bit bigger, and it feels it, but only to the extent of feeling a bit more mass in the hand. There is little I would change. A faster frame rate would be the first thing. That did seem slow after the 20D. The other thing is the common Canon problem of hiding mirror lock-up in the menus. Shame.

full frame, solid build, bright viewfinder
relatively slow FPS, no weather sealing
Former film users will find using the 5D refreshing beacuse it is full frame - so your lenses "behave" like they're supposed to.
If they made this more like Canon's film EOS 3 it would be a lot better - "pro" (1-series) controls it might appeal more to me.

Full frame, light, pro performance.
Not-so-pro fps capabilities.
I own a Rebel XT, and had been using it for a year and a half when I got the 5D. What can I say. Awesome image quality, very good auto WB, very good high ISO noise performance. Light and compact. Low shutter noise. The file size is really big, but you can have 12 x 18 prints with little or no upsampling. My lenses (70-200 and 24-70) are really shining with this camera.
If you need top-notch image quality and/or have top-of-the-line Canon glass, this is the camera for you.
I wish it was capable of shooting two more fps, tho.

full frame, bright viewfinder, relatively rugged but compact and light compared to 1 series, good noise control at higher iso
no mirror lock-up button, no weather sealing, 3 frames per second rate, focusing accuracy seems less accurate than 1 series
I purchased this model the day after it arrived at the local camera shop just before a trip to Cambodia and Viet Nam. Having made the decision to go digital over film, I had ordered a 20D, but sent it back unopened when I heard of the 5D. Conventional wisdom says don't take a new camera on a big trip and I missed some opportunities for lack of familiarity with the camera, but still was delighted I had it. It is not in the same class with the 1VHS I owned, but the instant feedback of digital has definately inproved my techniques. I have had absolutely no problems with the camera and enjoy the full frame for wide angle lenses and bokeh impossible on a reduced size sensor.

I have used this camera for about a year and Iam very pleased with it. I upgraded from an XT and found this camera to be outstanding. The high iso performance is amazing. With fast primes and iso 800 I can shoot almost any inside scene without a flash. These images need very little post processing and can be blown up significantly without bothersome noise. The focusing speed and accuracy is a significant improvement over the XT.
It is great to finally have my wide angles back!! I never really adjusted to the crop thing after the film days. With this camera you dont have to!! The viewfinder is big and bright just like a film SLR.
Its not a camera for fast action like motorsports but works great for portraits. The construction is much more robust than the XT but not up to 1 series standards.

full frame, image quality, noise regulation
no weather sealing, no ISO indication, must use good objectives
I really love this body! I had 300D, 10D, 20D. They were very similar. The resolution doesn't make real difference, the full frame sensor really makes difference!!! Yes it is sensible to the defects of the objective, but its picture quality, the less DOF, the wide-angle photography are unbeatable. If you would like a real upgrade, don't upgrade to 30D, 400D, upgrade to 5D, it is the noticeable difference.

Lula Default Scare Echoed in Brazil's Worst Bond Sell-Off
Brazilian government bonds are suffering the biggest quarterly losses since the run-up to former President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva's election in 2002 led to speculation that the nation would default.
Dollar-denominated bonds from Brazil, Latin America's biggest nation, plunged 7.55 percent since the end of March, the biggest slide since a 16 percent drop in the third quarter of 2002 before Lula's October election that year. The loss this quarter exceeds a decline of 6.15 percent for countries with triple-B ratings, according to Bank of America Corp.
Investors are becoming concerned that President Dilma Rousseff's administration is undoing the progress of her mentor and predecessor, who overcame bondholder skepticism to win the nation's first-ever investment grade in 2008. Brazil is now grappling with inflation above its 6.5 percent target, the prospect of a credit downgrade and the biggest street protests in more than two decades as speculation increases the Federal Reserve will reduce its unprecedented bond buying that had pushed investors into higher-yielding emerging markets.
"The street protests are really exposing a lot, the many levels of weaknesses that the administration put into the economy," Italo Lombardi, an economist at Standard Chartered Plc, said in a telephone interview from New York. "If they don't take actions and we continue to see low growth, then we could see a downgrade."
The Finance Ministry declined to comment in an e-mailed response to questions about the nation's bond performance.
Yield Increase
The average yield on Brazil's dollar-denominated bonds has soared 106 basis points, or 1.06 percentage points, to 5.09 percent since Fed Chairman Ben S. Bernanke said May 22 that signs of a sustained improvement in the U.S. jobs market could lead the central bank to scale back its monthly bond purchases, according to data compiled by JPMorgan Chase & Co.
"Things weren't good, and then, when the Fed came in, that just did it," Paulo Vieira da Cunha, partner at Tandem Global Management LP and a former central bank director, said by phone from New York. "All of a sudden, you got this perspective that you would have to pay a lot more to borrow abroad. It caught Brazil completely on the wrong foot."
Lula ran for president unsuccessfully as head of Brazil's Workers' Party three times before winning in 2002 amid pledges of revived growth and job creation. The former union leader's party had advocated a renegotiation of Brazil's international debt and investors were concerned he would boost deficit spending and default.
Outlook Cut
Once in office, Lula ordered a record 14.1 billion reais in spending cuts as part of a $30 billion loan agreement with the International Monetary Fund and accumulated a then-record $289 billion in international reserves as prices for food and mineral exports soared.
Brazilian bonds due in 2040, which traded as low as 42.5 cents on the dollar in the third quarter of 2002, tripled in value during Lula's presidency.
On June 6, Standard & Poor's cut its outlook on Brazil's rating to negative, citing sluggish economic growth, weakening fiscal accounts and a loss of investor credibility. S&P raised the country to BBB-, the lowest investment-grade rating, in 2008. The rating climbed to the current BBB in November 2011, toward the end of Rousseff's first year in office.
Slowing Growth
Mauro Leos, senior credit officer at Moody's Investors Service, said in a June 19 interview that his firm's positive outlook on Brazil is "difficult to support" amid lackluster growth and rising debt levels. Brazil's gross debt was equal to 59.2 percent of gross domestic product in March, compared with 53.35 percent at the end of Lula's term in December 2010.
Rousseff's administration is trying to revive economic growth that slowed for two straight years to 0.9 percent in 2012 from 7.6 percent in 2010. The central bank yesterday cut its forecast for growth this year to 2.7 percent, from a March projection of 3.1 percent.
Annual inflation through mid-June reached 6.67 percent, the fastest pace since November 2011, even after officials cut energy tariffs. Brazil's central bank targets annual inflation at 4.5 percent, plus or minus two percentage points.
The price increases prompted central bankers to raise their benchmark interest rate twice this quarter from a record low 7.25 percent.
Budget Deficit
Street protests that began three weeks ago against an increase in bus fares have swelled as demonstrators voiced complaints about corruption and the quality of health care and education.
The president vowed to boost spending to placate the protesters while urging fiscal restraint among policy makers. In April, the government posted the biggest budget deficit in almost four years of 132 billion reais ($60 billion).
For John Welch, a macroeconomic strategist at CIBC World Markets in Toronto, the bond sell-off has created a buying opportunity.
"You have some value in Brazilian bonds where you're actually being compensated for the risk," Welch said in a telephone interview. "Brazil's been the big underperformer and probably deservedly so, but now it's starting to go too far."
The extra yield investors demand to own Brazilian government dollar bonds instead of U.S. Treasuries has surged 52 basis points this quarter to 242 basis points as of 11:54 a.m. in New York, according to JPMorgan's EMBI Global index.
Default Swaps
The cost to protect Brazilian bonds against default for five years has climbed 49 basis points since the end of March to 186 basis points, the biggest quarterly jump since 2011. Credit-default swaps pay the buyer face value in exchange for the underlying securities or the cash equivalent if a borrower fails to adhere to its debt agreements.
The real has plunged 8.5 percent this quarter to 2.2084 per dollar, the second-biggest drop in emerging markets after India's rupee. Since taking office in January 2011, Rousseff has implemented dozens of measures to try to boost demand and protect industry from imports. Brazil removed taxes on currency derivatives in March and foreigners' purchases of bonds earlier this month.
None of the actions has been successful in stimulating growth, according to Ricardo Hausmann, a professor at Harvard University in Cambridge, Massachusetts, and former planning minister in Venezuela.
"Brazil is a country that had been dealt a fantastic hand, and has played it very poorly," Hausmann said in a telephone interview.

Low standards means higher happiness I spose.
my best day ever was ditching school with my family to go out of town to shop, then come home and trick or treat.
but come to think of it, it doesn't take a lot to make me extraordinarily happy either, lmao
Just had a group of idiot teenagers come into Subway wearing masks... If there's one thing I hate more than teenagers, it's masks. And my manager didn't get candy this year so I don't get to hand it out to trick-or-treaters. Lame. =\
What a shitty halloween. No party no trick or treating, just sitting along in my room.
The worst part: no mary janes. How can you have halloween without mary janes.

Setting up your own dome using Stellarium's spheric mirror distortion feature
People interested in building and operating their own planetarium can subscribe to a YahooGroup, and the related Small Planetarium Forums Site.
- Small or Portable Planetarium Group — Yahoo! Groups
- http://www.astro-obsessions.com/small_planetarium
In the following section I want to describe how you can build your own planetarium using Stellarium's
spheric_mirror distortion feature.
What you need:
- A dome. The dome should have a spherical inside. I suppose you can have good results with any dome larger than 2m in diameter, perhaps even with smaller ones.
- A spherical security mirror. I recommenda 1/4 mirror, that is a quarter of a sphere. Something like 0.4 or 0.5m in diameter should be ok, for small domes you may need smaller mirrors, decide for yourself.
- A video projector
- A computer running a current verion of stellarium.
In the following example I assume a dome with 5m diameter and a spheric 1/4 mirror with radius 0.25m. I suggest the following config.ini settings:
[spheric_mirror] projector_gamma = 0.45 projector_position_x = 0 projector_position_y = 1 projector_position_z = -0.2 mirror_position_x = 0 mirror_position_y = 2 mirror_position_z = 0 mirror_radius = 0.25 dome_radius = 2.5 zenith_y = 0.125 scaling_factor = 0.8 flip_horz = true flip_vert = false ... flag_gravity_labels = true ... flag_menu = false
You should be familiar with the keys because there will be no menu except the tui. When you start stellarium press "PgDown" to get maximum FOV and "CursorUp" in order to look at the zenith. Press "z" 2 times in order to display the azimuth grid. Press "1" in order to get the config window. In the video settings choose the spheric_mirror distortion.
Install the spheric mirror inside the dome. Imagine a coordinate system that is centered in the dome center. The z-axis points upward to the zenith and the y-axis points to some point on the horizon. Look into the direction of the y-axis. Now the x-axis points to a point on the horizon which is near your right hand. In the above config.ini example I suggest that the center of the spheric mirror is at (0,2,0) (I use meters, but feel free to use any units you like).
Install the projector approximately at (0,1,-0.2). Notice the z-coordinate -0.2: the projector is lower than the spheric mirror center so that it shall not occult parts of the image. In my implementation I assume that all light comes from one point, which in reality is not true. The projector_position in config.ini refers to this fictional point. It will lie somewhere inside your projector, I do not know, where.
Turn your projector on and project the image onto the mirror. The upper black curved border of the image should correspond to the upper part of the mirror. Use the projector zoom and the scaling_factor in order to match. Also shift and tilt your projector so that the image zenith and horizon is projected onto your dome zenith and horizon. The azimuth grid should be in place, you know what I mean. Play around with the geometry parameters. In order to get equal illumination throughout the dome, you must set the projector_gamma value to whatever your projector needs.
I keep getting inquiries about zenith_y, so here comes a short explanation. The optical axis of the projector does not go through the center of the mirror sphere, but it meets the mirror surface on some point in the upper half. With the zenith_y parameter you can configure, where this point is. With zenith_y=0 the zenith is right in the center of the stellarium window (y=0). With zenith_y>0 the zenith is above the center of the stellarium window, with zenith_y<0 the zenith is below the center of the stellarium window. There is no zenith_x parameter for moving the zenith to the left of right side of the stellarium window. Exercise: try zenith_y values of 0.0,0.3,-0.3.
You do not need to restart stellarium every time you make changes to the spheric mirror distortion parameters. While stellarium is running just change the parameters in config.ini with your favourite editor, and in the stellarium config window switch to a different projection type, and back to spheric mirror distortion.
Mr. Paul Bourke has explained to me that some users like the following setup: They configure their dual head graphic card to show the same image on both outputs. One of them is connected to the projector, the other to an ordinary monitor that is used by the operator only. The operator wants to read the texts left-to-right, and therefore there shall be no image flipping on the stellarium image. Of course the projector then must be capable of doing image flipping, and must be configured to do so. Therefore I have introduced two new config.ini options in the [spheric_mirror] section: flip_horz (default=true) and flip_vert (default=false). This feature is available in current svn, and will go into the 0.9.x release.
Mr. Paul Bourke was so nice to set up an own page describing in great detail how to setup stellariums spheric mirror distortion feature, please visit his page at:
I hope you will be satisfied with the results. Please send pictures of your new planetarium!
Yours, Johannes
New features in current svn, which will go into version 0.9:
1) Ability to control image flipping:
[spheric_mirror] flip_horz (horizontal image flipping, optional, default=true) flip_vert (vertical image flipping, optional, default=false)
2) distortion can also be based on other projections than fisheye, for example stereographic, equal area or cylinder
3) improved texturing with triangles, image width and height need not be multiples of 16 any more:
[spheric_mirror] texture_triangle_base_length (how fine the grid shall be, optional, default=16)
4) make use of the OpenGL EXT_framebuffer_object extension for increasing the resolution of the image that shall be distorted. The image is then rendered to an off-screen buffer with configurable layout. You can disable ext_framebuffer_object if it does not work on your hardware/driver.
[spheric_mirror] flag_use_ext_framebuffer_object (optional, default autodetect: true, when extension is available)
Warning: when your video card/driver supports the OpenGL EXT_framebuffer_object extension, but does not support the OpenGL EXT_packed_depth_stencil extension, you can still use the EXT_framebuffer_object extension, but you will have no stencil buffer in viewport distortion mode. This results in bad drawing of the earth shadow during lunar eclipses. Currently only NVidia cards support EXT_packed_depth_stencil.
5) make the layout of the not yet distorted image configurable
[spheric_mirror] distorter_max_fov (maximum FOV value of the not yet distorted image, optional, default=175) viewport_width (width of the not yet distorted image, optional, default=screen_w) viewport_height (height of the not yet distorted image, optional, default=screen_h) viewport_center_x (center of the FOV-disk in the not yet distorted image, optional, default = 0.5*viewport_width) viewport_center_y (center of the FOV-disk in the not yet distorted image, optional, default = 0.5*viewport_height) viewport_fov_diameter (diameter of the FOV-disk in pixels, optional, default=min(viewport_width,viewport_height))
6) The current set of parameters work well for configuration of a standard dome setup (where zenith, projector, dome center, mirror center and projector optical axis lie in a single plane). Yet I received lots of questions and even complaints about the parameters zenith_y and scaling_factor. Perhaps it was to not easy enough to understand their meaning and importance. Therefore I have decided to introduce additional parameters:
[spheric_mirror] projector_alpha (optional, default = 0) projector_delta (optional, default = whatever your zenith_y parameter implied) projector_phi (optional, default = 0) image_distance_div_height (optional, default = whatever your scaling_factor implied)
projector_alpha, projector_delta specifies the direction of the projectors optical axis in degrees, projector_phi specifies how much the projector is turned around its optical axis. image_distance_div_height is focal length of the projector divided by the height of the projectors video chip, which is the same as the distance to the projected image divided by the projected images height. Because of the default values, your previous setup with zenith_y and scaling_factor will continue to work as usual. Yet I encourage migrating to the new parameters, which is easy, because the needed values are printed to stdout (you can read them in your xterm window). Windows users - if there are any - have some special file where they can read the standard output, I think it is called cout.txt, stdout.txt or similar.
7) With the above described parameters you can setup stellariums distortion feature for any planetarium with a spheric dome and a spheric mirror. The only restriction is that both the mirror and the dome have spheric shape. But even when the dome and/or the mirror are aspheric, you can use stellariums distortion feature by supplying a custom distortion grid using the parameter
[spheric_mirror] custom_distortion_file (optional, default="")
custom_distortion_file is not for the faint of heart. Only people who know what they are doing are supposed to use it. I will not support requests from people who do not understand what is going on.
When custom_distortion_file is supplied, the parameters projector_gamma, projector_position_x, projector_position_y, projector_position_z, mirror_position_x, mirror_position_y, mirror_position_z, mirror_radius, dome_radius, zenith_y, scaling_factor, flip_horz, flip_vert, texture_triangle_base_length, projector_alpha, projector_delta, projector_phi, image_distance_div_height have no influence on the distortion process any more. Instead the distortion is controlled by the contents of the given file.
The syntax of the custom_distortion_file is as follows: It contains integers or floats in decimal notation seperated by whitespaces. The first and second numbers are max_x, max_y (both integer). They discribe the dimension of the triangular distortion grid:
const double step_x = screen_w / (double)(max_x-0.5); const double step_y = screen_h / (double)max_y; for (int j=0;j<=max_y;j++) for (int i=0;i<=max_x;i++) { vertex_x = (i == 0) ? 0.0 : (i == max_x) ? screen_w : ((i-0.5*(j%2))*step_x); vertex_y = j*step_y; }
vertex_x, vertex_y are the coordinates in the destination image. After max_x, max_y come (max_y+1)*(max_x+1) tuples of 5 numbers each. The 5 numbers are: x, y, r, g, b, all of them float. These are the texture coordinates and colors of the vertices given above. The texture coordianates are the coordinates in the fisheye image. The ranges are:
0 <= x <= viewport_width 0 <= y <= viewport_height 0 <= r,g,b <= 1
Remember that the bottom left corner has coordinates (0,0). Example custom_distortion_file for a 1024x768 viewport:
2 1 0 0 1 1 1 900 0 1 1 1 1024 0 1 0 0 0 768 0 0 1 100 768 1 1 1 1024 768 1 1 1
Related parameters when spheric mirror distortion is disabled. When these parameters are not supplied, you get the old behaviour:
[projection] fisheye_max_fov (maximum fisheye FOV, optional, try 360) cylinder_max_fov (maximum cylinder FOV, optional) viewport_width (width of the image, optional, default=screen_w) viewport_height (height of the image, optional, default=screen_h) viewport_center_x (center of the FOV-disk, optional, default = 0.5*viewport_width) viewport_center_y (center of the FOV-disk, optional, default = 0.5*viewport_height) viewport_fov_diameter (diameter of the FOV-disk in pixels, optional, default=min(viewport_width,viewport_height)) viewport_x (offset of the viewport within the screen, default = 0.5*(screen_w-viewport_width) viewport_y (offset of the viewport within the screen, default = 0.5*(screen_h-viewport_height)

There's been a lot of talk about all the young stars taking over baseball, and with Mike Trout looking like one of the best players in the league in just his second season...it's a pretty easy discussion to get wrapped up in. So along those lines, here's a look at seven young Major Leaguers who already look to have a shot at Cooperstown. 7. Freddie Freeman, Atlanta Braves Freddie Freeman is the wildcard in this group, but if you take a look at baseball-reference.com, it's pretty clear that he's a promising young player. The Atlanta first baseman has raised this season's average to .315 (with 106 RBI) while cutting his strikeout rate. He's a solid defensive defender, he's only 24...and he's still improving. Not to mention he's on a franchise that will give him many opportunities to shine in the postseason. 6. Stephen Strasburg, Washington Nationals It's tough to include Stephen Strasburg on this list given that he's under 25 and he's already had Tommy John surgery. But Strasburg is still so good when healthy, you have to give him a shot. Plus, he can get it done with the curveball, meaning he won't rely on declining velocity as much as some pitchers. 5. Starlin Castro, Chicago Cubs Statistically, Starlin Castro is behind Hall of Fame pace, so this is a bit of a reach. But here's the deal...Derek Jeter will be out of the game soon, and the Yankees will want a long-term solution at shortstop. The Cubs just showed a willingness to deal with New York in the Alfonso Soriano trade, so it's conceivable that the Yanks offer a haul for Castro and bring him into a situation where he can truly excel for the next 10-plus years. 4. Clayton Kershaw, Los Angeles Dodgers Pitchers are tough to project, but Clayton Kershaw is so good and so consistent, that he's got a great shot at Cooperstown. Just take a look at the betting.betfair.com sports betting guide, where the Dodgers are considered heavy World Series favorites and know that it's in very large part thanks to Kershaw! 3. Manny Machado, Baltimore Orioles Somehow Manny Machado keeps flying under the radar. He's a physical beast, a fantastic fielder and a very promising hitter with some power. He's only 21, but Machado, should he bounce back from his recent injury, will be very good for a long time. 2. Yasiel Puig, Los Angeles Dodgers Yasiel Puig may have cooled off a bit from his scorching start, but he is still a big reason the Dodgers are looking like the best team in the MLB. And the idea that a 22-year-old hitting over .325 with a .546 slugging pct. can still get better is frightening. 1. Mike Trout, Los Angeles Angels No one tops Mike Trout. He's been a legitimate MVP candidate in each of his first two seasons. Plus, he has that intangible quality that makes for a truly special baseball player...he looks to be insanely competitive and fun-loving all at the same time. Trout could be the face of the coming generation of baseball.

Hello guys and girls,
We have been on the forum for a fewmonths now and finally made the leap to becoming a supporting vendor.We are the largest ProEFI dealer in the NE. We specializein Stand Alone engine management tuning and installation. Werehere to help you reach the horse power goal you are looking for,without double spending your money and doing things twice. Our ideabehind Undercover is we do work in ways that are not obnoxious.Everyone whos been doing this for a while knows that being pickedout of a group of cars by authorities gets old and undesirable. Ouraim is to alleviate this while maintaining higher than expectedperformance.
A little background on our shop:
Here at Undercover we are yourinstallation headquarters and parts store for any of our customperformance partners. We specialize in BMW and Supra customperformance but, we have been doing a lot lately, with GTRs. Wehave been working on everything from 9second Grand Nationals tocustom built headers and exhausts for Lamborghini Murcielagos. Wehave recently decided to focus only on the GTR, Supra and BMWapplications. We feel that narrowing our focus on a few specificapplications that will allow us to lead instead of follow like othersdo. Our professional wiring is unlike any others. We do installationsthat are OEM quality and look like it belongs. Our fabricationdepartment is second to none, with the highest quality welds andfitment ever seen.
Our crew:
Garth: My name is Garth, Iam the owner and Lead Tech of Undercover. A couple things aboutmyself. I was a Nissan tech for several years, authorizedBMW tech and performance reseller and have been Dyno tuningapplications from American to German and everything in between. Ihave spent several years at speed and custom shops until I decided toopen Undercover. Our main focus has been Mustangs, GrandNationals, and Supras for several years now. Lately we'vebeen really into the n54/55 BMW's, E46 M3's.
Angela: My name is Angela, and I amthe multitasker of the Undercover crew ^__^. I do everything frompull heads off of cars to racing down the quarter mile to theaccounting and billing. I am on the forums daily answering anyquestions customer may have, and posting pictures and updates oncustomers vehicles we have around the shop. I am also on ourcompany Facebook, with the same responsibilities as I have on theforums. I have designed some of the flyers we have had forpromotional sales we have done, also in April we held a charity eventand I was given the task of designing the T-shirts. And of course Iam always getting my hands dirty around the shop when I can. I workedin a body shop for a year doing R&R work and I apprenticed inpainting the cars, other than that I was always working on mypersonal car and some of my friends cars. I have a passion forworking on cars, making horse power and going fast so I fit right inwith the boys.

Chicago Cubs fans are invited to participate in the Cubs Charities "Pink Out" presented by Advocate Health Care, Tuesday, May 6, in the Budweiser Bleachers, the last Cubs home game before Mothers Day. Each fan attending the game in the Budweiser Bleachers that day will receive a Cubs Charities "Pink Out" tee shirt to celebrate moms and women everywhere who are survivors and to promote breast cancer awareness. Tee shirts will be handed out at the gates by Cubs players' and coaches' wives.
Fans throughout the ballpark are encouraged to wear pink that day. The Cubs Store, located across Wrigley Field at the corner of Clark and Addison Streets, will display a "Pink Out" section with pink Cubs merchandise and a 10 percent discount on engraved pink bats for fans interested in participating.
All fans in attendance May 6 are encouraged to participate in the Cubs Charities 50/50 Raffle, as proceeds will benefit mammograms for under/uninsured women through Advocate Charitable Foundation.
The Cubs and Advocate will honor breast cancer survivors by including many survivors in notable game ceremonies. The game's ceremonial first pitches will be thrown by a breast cancer survivor, as well as Major League Baseball's 2014 Honorary Bat Girl Contest winner, who is selected for the honor after submitting a story about "Going to Bat Against Breast Cancer." The National Anthem will be sung by 40 members of the Sing to Live Community Chorus, which is comprised of singers whose lives have been touched by breast cancer. Three breast cancer survivors will lead the afternoon's seventh-inning stretch from the broadcast booth. In addition, Advocate will bring more than 50 survivors to enjoy the game in the stands.
Fans will notice other pink touches throughout the ballpark as well, such as a temporary pink ribbon on the outfield wall, pink hats worn by the grounds crew and more.
