PTStitcher is one of the core applications of Panorama tools, together with PTOptimizer and the Panorama Tools Plugins.
For stitching panoramas you most probably wont get in contact with PTStitcher frequently, since the scripting is moe or less completely done by the GUIs PTMac, PTGui, PTAssembler, hugin and some tools like PanoCube.
However, there are several occasions where you might need to write or at least understand the scripts or call PTStitcher directly (for some batch tasks f.e.).
The PTStitcher source code was never published, hence there are no changes possible to certain functions. But since a considerable part of it's functionality is in pano12 library, PTStitcher benefits from every update of this core library.
You can take PTStitcher from any of the panotools distribution on one of the Mirrors. In order to use new functionality you need a recent copy of pano12 library.
There is a freeware replacement for PTStitcher called nona in the hugin project which has much (but not all) of the PTStitcher features.
PTStitcher is script driven. The scripts are in pure text format and can be edited with any text or programming editor (on windows notepad will do).
They are processed on a line by line basis. Each line starts with a special character (case sensitive) that indicates the meaning of the rest of the line. All other first in line characters are ignored and considered comments.
Most features of PTStitcher are conveniently accessible by the usual GUIs (see top), but some are not.
Accessible by GUI
PTStitcher can stitch
- spherical (equirectangular), cylindrical, rectilinear and fisheyed (or mirror ball) panoramas
- multi row panoramas
- panoramas from images that where shot tilted up or down.
- images from any lens (including spherical mirrors)
- images with different focal length into one panorama
- flat images like scanned maps.
The capabilities of PTStitcher go far beyond panorama stitching: It can be used
- to remap images between different Projections
- to extract and insert rectilinear images from a spherical or cylindrical panorama.
- to remap a spherical panorama such that Nadir and Zenith are editable.
- to down- or upsample images with high quality interpolators.
- to correct perspective distortion.
Acessible by Script or other Tool
PTStitcher can be used stand alone or with some other (non-GUI) Tool:
- together with some tool that separete color channels (ImageMagick to correct Chromatic Aberration
- assembling 6 cube faces to an equirectangular panorama can be done by GUI but is more convenient done by script, file or PanoCube Plus.
Information on how to create and use PTStitcher scripts can be found on the web and on the wiki:
- The original PTStitcher Readme file contains basic information.
- The updated original example script with lots of comments is found at Jim Watter's page
- Ben Kreunen has an excellent list about the parameters of the p- o- and m-line and some example scripts.
- Frequently asked questions about PTStitcher including solutions to common problems are found at the inofficial Panorama Tools FAQ.
- On the wiki there are some techniques described that use PTStitcher:
Calling from the command line
PTStitcher can be called from the command line (this is what all GUIs do, too). More Information in the PTStitcher Readme

"It really feels like getting the band back together as we're seeing opportunities not available to us before," says Interplay boss Herve Caen in a quote on Eurogamer about their plans to revive the Black Isle Studios label. "Given our unique position, expanding online and mobile platforms, and renewed interest in our proven properties, I see an incredible success potential for Black Isle Studios." In this case, "the band" will have none of its original members, but they do have the highly regarded Black Isle IPs to work with, and the story states they plan on creating AAA RPGs based on them, though it does not offer a direct quote supporting that. However this is reflected by the mission statement on the Black Isle Studios Twitter Feed, which reads: "Black Isle Studios is a division of Interplay Entertainment devoted to creating the world's best role-playing games."

Firmware 1.41 and later
In this version, it appears that acp_commander no longer provides the capability to execute commands, which prevents most earlier strategies from working. However, it is quite straightforward to solve this problem by using a custom firmware image. The basic principle is described in Create a custom firmware image.
Start with the files downloaded from Buffalo's website. Then, ideally on a Linux platform of some sort...
1) unzip the hddrootfs.img
unzip hddrootfs.img
provide the right password for the firmware.
For version 1.41, the third zip password listed in the above mentioned reference proved successful:
The result of this is a hddrootfs.buffalo.updated...this is the tared root-filesystem of the firmware image.
2) create a folder where you want to untar the rootfs and untar it
mkdir <foldername> cd <foldername> tar -vxz --numeric-owner -p -f ../hddrootfs.buffalo.updated
3) modify the image to enable sshd logins. This copies an authorized_keys file from your home directory on the Linux box, but any mechanism to make an authorized_keys file will work
cd etc sed -i 's/PermitRootLogin/# PermitRootLogin/' sshd_config cd ../root mkdir .ssh chmod 700 .ssh
3-a) copying authorized_keys (option 1)
cp $HOME/.ssh/authorized_keys .ssh/authorized_keys chmod 600 .ssh/authorized_keys
3-b) generating authorized_keys (if you don't have an authorized_keys file)
ssh-keygen -t rsa save as .ssh/key mv key.pub authorized_keys
3-1) if firmware version is higher than 1.64, you should edit /etc/ftpusers, or the sshd cannot be executed.
cd ../etc sed -i 's/root/#root/g' ./ftpusers
4) create the hddrootfs.buffalo.updated again (you should be in the folder where you extracted the image)
tar -vczf ../hddrootfs.buffalo.updated-new * cd .. mv hddrootfs.buffalo.updated hddrootfs.buffalo.updated-old mv hddrootfs.buffalo.updated-new hddrootfs.buffalo.updated
5) create the hddrootfs.img again
CAUTION: if you use the wrong password, the firmware updater / the linkstation will fail to unzip the hddrootfs.img
zip -e hddrootfs.img hddrootfs.buffalo.updated
6) Perform the update using the normal Buffalo updater (probably after enabling the debug option to reload the image)
7) See the notes about editing the /etc/nas_feature file below and elsewhere on this WIKI.
This is a file that is generated during boot time. The entry SUPPORT_SFTP=0 needs to be changed to SUPPORT_SFTP=1 in order for sshd to start via /etc/init.d/sshd.sh. The following acp_commander command may work post reboot:
java -jar acp_commander.jar -t <your_NAS_IP> -ip <your_NAS_IP> -pw <your_NAS_admin_password> -c "sed -i 's/SUPPORT_SFTP=0/SUPPORT_SFTP=1/' /etc/nas_feature
8) Use ssh to root@ip_address
Firmware 1.40
Method 1
Follow the instructions in Open Stock Firmware LS-VL, which works for all devices sharing that firmware.
Method 2
Firmware 1.40 has a different sshd_config with 'PermitRootLogin' set to 'no'. The permissions on this file are not open like the pam sshd file, so it is necessary to add a back door prior to upgrading to 1.40. One technique would be to perform the following
echo '* * * * * /bin/bash /tmp/cron.root.sh' >> /etc/cron/crontabs/root
After the firmware upgrade is complete, you can add commands to /tmp/cron.root.sh and they will be executed once a minute with root privileges. You can use this to replace the sshd_config. You may also wish to keep the cron job enabled in case of future issues, though it does pose a security risk.
Firmware prior to 1.40
Tested with firmware v1.33 and v1.34, but does not work with v1.40. It is possible to gain root access via the web server.
1. Create a shared folder name 'www'
2. Enable the web server in Network -> Web Server
3. Set the Port No. 81
4. Set the target folder to www
5. The default index.php is showing phpinfo();
6. Now with PHP enabled, you can edit /etc/pam.d/sshd via a simple script
7. comment out all lines that begin with 'auth'
8. add the line: auth required pam_permit.so
a simple PHP script like :
<?php $file = '../../../../etc/pam.d/sshd'; $fh=fopen($file, 'w') or die("can't open file"); $stringData = "account required pam_unix.so\n"; fwrite($fh, $stringData); $stringData = "session required pam_unix.so\n"; fwrite($fh, $stringData); $stringData = "auth required pam_permit.so\n"; fwrite($fh, $stringData); fclose($fh); ?>
9. Now, you should be able to SSH to LinkStation Duo without any password.
Note: the file /etc/pam.d/sshd gets re-created each time the system starts up
Best way to get permanent root access is to install your SSH public key in the 'authorized_keys' file.
- mkdir /root/.ssh
- chmod 700 /root/.ssh
... install your SSH public key in /root/.ssh/authorized_keys
- chmod 600 /root/.ssh/authorized_keys
N.B. The ssh-copy-id program, which is distributed with OpenSSH, can also be used to easily copy across your SSH public key onto the LinkStation.
Second method to gain root access
Download acp_commander (See http://buffalo.nas-central.org/index.php/Open_Stock_Firmware)
1. Use acp_commander and the sed command (built-in) to edit the /etc/pam.d/sshd file:
java -jar acp_commander.jar -t <IP_OF_WXL> -ip <IP_OF_WXL> -pw password -c "sed 's/auth/#auth/' </etc/pam.d/sshd >/etc/pam.d/sshd.new"
2. Now add the required auth parameters:
java -jar acp_commander.jar -t <IP_OF_WXL> -ip <IP_OF_WXL> -pw password -c "echo 'auth required pam_permit.so' >>/etc/pam.d/sshd.new"
3. Finally, replace the edited version to the right place:
java -jar acp_commander.jar -t <IP_OF_WXL> -ip <IP_OF_WXL> -pw password -c "cp /etc/pam.d/sshd.new /etc/pam.d/sshd"
NOTE: acp_commander may complain about the password being incorrect but this should not affect the outcome. This second method was tested with firmware v1.34. You could potentially use interactive mode in acp_commander (the -s option) to save keystrokes, but the basic approach is the same.
At this point you should be able to get root access without the need of the password. To maintain root access, the public key recommendation remains as noted above. However, every time the box restarts and /etc/pam.d/sshd is replaced, you could rerun the third command above to regain root access without the password.
Once you have root access, you can start to install packages from IPKG. To do so, first run the following
cd /tmp wget http://ipkg.nslu2-linux.org/feeds/optware/cs05q3armel/cross/stable/teraprov2-bootstrap_1.2-7_arm.xsh sh ./teraprov2-bootstrap_1.2-7_arm.xsh
Once that's done, edit by typing vi /opt/etc/ipkg.conf and add
src cs08q1 http://ipkg.nslu2-linux.org/feeds/optware/cs08q1armel/cross/stable/ # src cs08q1-unstable http://ipkg.nslu2-linux.org/feeds/optware/cs08q1armel/cross/unstable/
Save by typing [esc]:wq[enter]
Open /etc/init.d/rc.optware by typing vi /etc/init.d/rc.optware
find REAL_OPT_DIR=blahblah and change into as your setting as
Save by typing [esc]:wq[enter]
Check [2] for guide on using VI text editor. (Simply you move cursor by cursor key and type 'a' or 'i' then you can add some text')
(If you wish to use the unstable branch you can uncomment it.)
After that just run `ipkg update` and you can then install packages with `ipkg install package`
To enable NFS on these boxes (specifically firmware versions 1.41 and 1.42), follow the above instructions to install IPKG. See also the section on TeraStation "Conversion".
Then run:
ipkg install e2fslibs ipkg install portmap
Next, obtain the estimable Kenatonline's NFS Tools:
cd /mnt/array1 wget http://downloads.buffalo.nas-central.org/Users/kenatonline/NFSKernel/nfstools.tar.gz cd / tar xvzf /mnt/array1/nfstools.tar.gz
Finally, create an /etc/exports file according to taste, and start everything:
cd /opt/etc/init.d S55portmap start S99nfs start
You're done.
TeraStation "Conversion"
According to our board rules, any kind of description, which violates copyrights or licenses, is not allowed.
The "conversion" to a TeraStation would potentially violate licensing agreements Buffalo made with third party companies. Therefore this content was removed.
The firmware consists of more than just GPL'd software.

Research Topics
From ForensicsWiki
Interested in doing research in computer forensics? Looking for a master's topic, or just some ideas for a research paper? Here is our list. Please feel free to add your own ideas.
Many of these would make a nice master's project.
Programming Projects
Small-Sized Programming Projects
- Modify bulk_extractor so that it can directly acquire a raw device under Windows. This requires replacing the current open function call with a CreateFile function call and using windows file handles.
- Rewrite SleuthKit sorter in C++ to make it faster and more flexible.
Medium-Sized Programming Projects
- Create a program that visualizes the contents of a file, sort of like hexedit, but with other features:
- Automatically pull out the strings
- Show histogram
- Detect crypto and/or stenography.
- Extend fiwalk to report the NTFS alternative data streams.
- Create a method to detect NTFS-compressed cluster blocks on a disk (RAW data stream). A method could be to write a generic signature to detect the beginning of NTFS-compressed file segments on a disk. This method is useful in carving and scanning for textual strings.
- Write a FUSE-based mounter for SleuthKit, so that disk images can be forensically mounted using TSK.
- Modify SleuthKit's API so that the physical location on disk of compressed files can be learned.
Big Programming Projects
- Develop a new carver with a plug-in architecture and support for fragment reassembly carving (see Carver 2.0 Planning Page).
- Write a new timeline viewer that supports Logfile fusion (with offsets) and provides the ability to view the logfile in the frequency domain.
- Correlation Engine:
- Logfile correlation
- Document identity identification
- Correlation between stored data and intercept data
- Online Social Network Analysis
- Find and download in a forensically secure manner all of the information in a social network (e.g. Facebook, LinkedIn, etc.) associated with a targeted individual.
- Determine who is searching for a targeted individual. This might be done with a honeypot, or documents with a tracking device in them, or some kind of covert Facebook App.
- Automated grouping/annotation of low-level events, e.g. access-time, log-file entry, to higher-level events, e.g. program start, login
Reverse-Engineering Projects
Reverse-Engineering Projects
- Reverse the on-disk structure of the Extensible Storage Engine (ESE) Database File (EDB) format to learn:
- Fill in the missing information about older ESE databases
- Exchange EDB (MAPI database), STM
- Active Directory (Active Directory working document available on request)
- Reverse the on-disk structure of the Lotus Notes Storage Facility (NSF)
- Reverse the on-disk structure of Microsoft SQL Server databases
- Add support to SleuthKit for XFAT, Microsoft's new FAT file system.
- Add support to SleuthKit for ReFS.
- Physical layer access to flash storage (requires reverse-engineering proprietary APIs for flash USB and SSD storage.)
- Modify SleuthKit's NTFS implementation to support NTFS encrypted files (EFS)
- Extend SleuthKit's implementation of NTFS to cover Transaction NTFS (TxF) (see NTFS)
EnCase Enhancement
- Develop an EnScript that allows you to script EnCase from Python. (You can do this because EnScripts can run arbitrary DLLs. The EnScript calls the DLL. Each "return" from the DLL is a specific EnCase command to execute. The EnScript then re-enters the DLL.)
Research Areas
These are research areas that could easily grow into a PhD thesis.
- General-purpose detection of:
- Stegnography
- Sanitization attempts
- Evidence Falsification (perhaps through inconsistency in file system allocations, application data allocation, and log file analysis.
- Visualization of data/information in digital forensic context
- SWOT of current visualization techniques in forensic tools; improvements; feasibility of 3D representation;

As the name suggests, Rock of Ages is a musical, based on the songs of famous glam metal bands and musicians like Styx, Journey, Bon Jovi, Pat Benatar, Twisted Sister, Steve Perry, Poison and Asia. The creative team includes: Chris D'Arienzo (book), Kristin Hanggi (director), Kelly Devine (choreography), Ethan Popp (music supervision, orchestration and arrangements).
In 2006 the musical premiered in Los Angeles. The Off-Broadway run began at New World Stages in New York City on October 16, 2008. In March, 2009 Rock of Ages transferred to Broadway. Today Rock of Ages is on stage at Helen Theatre in Broadway, Comedy Theatre in Melbourne and Shaftesbury Theatre in London.
Rock of Ages brings the audience back to 1987 in Los Angeles, California. It is about the love and daily struggle of two young people, Drew and Sherrie. He dreams to be rocker and she wants to be an actress. Typical for 1980s the hair is big, the costumes small, and the language a little bit rough and, of course, there is too much smoke on the stage.
The musical includes 30 songs from that era, songs like We Built This City, Waiting for a Girl Like You, Can't Fight the Feeling, Wanted Dead or Alive, High Enough and Don't Stop Believing. In 2009 the production released Rock of Ages Original Broadway Cast Recording. The album included 22 of the tracks of the smash hit musical, featuring American Idol finalist Constantine Maroulis, Amy Spanger, and James Carpinello.
On July 1, 2009, the cast set a new Guinness World Record for the Largest Air Guitar Ensemble. 810 participants, including audience members and fans, shattering the previous record of playing air guitar simultaneously.
On May 16, 2011 the cast of Rock of Ages were invited to participate in the campaign called NOH8 (No Hate!), where they lend their faces and support to promote understanding, love and acceptance of sexual preference.

Additional Information
Smooth leather was used to fashion the upper of these Rocky Long Range men's Western work boots; this material was chosen with the intention of making these 12 " boots exceptionally comfortable right out of the box. The brown and green hues play off one another nicely and the stitching that covers both sides of the shaft gives the footwear a very handsome looking appearance. A particularly unique feature that has been incorporated into the design of this work Western is the Expansion Fit Seam™; the seam literally expands so you are able to slide your feet in/out of this Rocky boot with total ease.
A key feature that transforms the footwear from a great pair of Western boots into a stellar option for work is the carbon-fiber toe; it has met the ASTM F2413 Protective Toe Classification, so you can be assured that it can shield your toes from feeling the full impact of objects that have plummeted on top of this protective toe. This safety footwear has also been built in compliance with the ASTM F2413 Electrical Hazard Standard, which shields the bottoms of these boots against electrical equipment.
Straightaway, you will be appreciative of the lining that has been constructed into the interior of these men's boots; it's lightweight (so you really won't even notice it's there) and its incredible smoothness will prevent these pull-on boots from rubbing against or causing any irritation to your legs. Further down, you have the Long Range footbed (great air flow and it's removable), a moldable cushion layer, an innersole bottom cushion, a midsole (very supportive and helps to distribute the weight of your steps nicely), as well as an outsole cushion core; all of these components ensure that your feet receive adequate support and are the source of absolutely phenomenal cushioning.
Rocky incorporated a Stabili-Shank™ into the base of these men's boots to deliver an astounding amount of support to the arches of your feet and also to contribute even more stability to this work footwear. You will be able to get the most out of your workday because the Long Range rubber outsole is stupendously durable, provides great flexibility and has been outfitted with non-slip center lugs that are there to ensure that you have topnotch slip resistance and a sufficient amount of traction.
You get the best of both worlds when you pull on these #RW026 Rocky Long Range boots; you have a great pair of work boots with a very protective toe and you have an outrageously comfortable pair of Western boots that you'll actually enjoy wearing throughout your entire shift.

Small-business groups have joined the chorus of retirement professionals upset with President Barack Obama's proposed retirement cap.
Opposition to the plan emerged almost immediately. The proposed $3 million cap on retirement savings could force small businesses to stop offering workplace retirement plans, the American Society of Pension Professionals & Actuaries said shortly after the president's plan was unveiled earlier this month.
The criticism hasn't stopped.
"Obviously it won't hurt every small business, but there are a significant number it will hurt," said Judy Miller, director of retirement policy at ASPPA.
In his budget blueprint, President Obama proposed a $3.4 million cap on how much money individuals can put into retirement accounts. The move would raise about $9 billion for the federal government over the next 10 years. The cap would prohibit taxpayers from taking advantage of the pre-tax deferral into their 401(k) or defined contribution pension plans after they cross that $3 million threshold, which is enough to fund a $205,000 annual annuity for a person wanting to retire at age 62.
According to data from the Employee Benefit Research Institute, a very small percentage of IRA and 401(k) investors would be affected by the cap. In 2011, only 0.06% of total IRA account holders had $3 million and only 0.0041% of 401(k) accounts had that much money in them at the end of 2012.
Still, the proposal is alarming on two levels, Miller said.
Small-business owners can't rely on so-called non-qualified deferred compensation like big companies can, so their options are limited, she said. A company-sponsored retirement plan is a small-business owner's only way to generate tax-deferred savings, unlike executives at large companies, who can "get pretty much anything, no limit," Miller said.
Non-qualified deferred compensation is money that workers earn in one year but that is paid out in a future year, helping to lower tax liabilities.
It makes for a very uneven playing field, Miller said. "We really count on the nondiscrimination rules related to contributions to employer-based plans," Miller said, adding:
"You take away the incentive they previously had to make contributions to other people and you're going to end up with a lot of people, who are not intended to be the target, losing out under this proposal."
Paula Calimafde, chair of the Small Business Council of America, doesn't go quite as far but is critical of other components of the proposal.
She doesn't think that the $3 million cap will hurt the system because, mostly, such a small percentage of individuals would be affected by the cap.
The proposed cap would be preferable to proposals that came out during the fiscal cliff talks at the end of last year that would limit contributions going into a plan to the lesser of 20 percent of earnings or $20,000 per year.
That scenario would "trigger plan terminations or plans being frozen in the small-business sector because with the small-business sector, what makes the retirement plan system work is tax incentives," she said. "If they are not strong enough to carry the weight of the internal administrative burdens and the cost of running a plan, including the cost of contributions for non-highly compensated employees, the owners will walk away from it."
She added small business owners are more willing to sponsor a retirement plan and give employee matches or offer profit sharing if they have incentives to do so.
Calimafde pointed out that changes made to the tax incentives in the 1980s forced many small business owners to close or freeze their workplace retirement plans.
Ed Ferrigno, vice president of Washington Affairs for the Plan Sponsor Council of America, pointed out the $3 million cap also would apply to defined benefit plans.
"It complicates the hell out of things, particularly on the defined benefit side," he said.
Specifically, it would make it harder for small businesses to know which of their employees had maxed out their benefits and might be ineligible to set aside additional tax-deferred contributions. Many people have investment accounts outside of their workplace-sponsored retirement plan.
Both Calimafde and Ferrigno believe another "sleeper" provision in Obama's proposed budget could have even more far-reaching consequences than the cap.
The proposed elimination of the "stretch" IRA — which allows the amount remaining in an IRA at an employee's death to be distributed over the life expectancy of the beneficiaries who inherit it — would deter employees from fully using IRAs as a means of saving money.
As part of the president's proposed budget, individuals who save money in an IRA would have a harder time passing that money on to their children or grandchildren because the rules would force these secondary beneficiaries to take all of the money from that plan within five years of the account holder's death.
The money would be taxed at a much higher rate if the beneficiaries are forced to take a large sum of money out of an IRA immediately, Calimafde said.
"It is important to many individuals who have accumulated funds that they can name their children as beneficiaries. This is why, for most employees, IRAs are a preferable alternative to annuities," the Small Business Council of America said in comments this month to the House Ways and Means' Working Groups on Pension/Retirement and Small Business.
"With the 'stretch IRA' employees can invest in an IRA not only to secure their own retirement future but knowing that any remaining funds can provide their children with a safety net by allowing them to take the funds out of the IRA over their lifetimes rather than being forced to take the funds out in a lump sum as called for in this proposal," according to the SBCA.

Gusts up to 40 mph make celebration difficult
Strong winds raked the Taft area on Sunday, blowing down some trees, branches, making driving on Highway 119 difficult and ushering in cooler weather and a shower.
Several newly-planted trees on Rails to Trails west of Hillard were knocked over and there was a report Sunday afternoon of a traffic sign down on the 700 block of A Street, but the biggest impact was on the Cinco de Mayo celebration at Fifth Street Plaza.
Winds gusting to 40 miles per hour made the bounce house and large inflatable jumper with a slide unsafe and they had to be deflated.
Vendors were forced to take down there canopies so they wouldn't blow away and a mariachi band cancelled its performance.
But the show did go on for a Mexican folk dance troupe that performed despite the high winds.
The gusts finally abated overnight, giving way to light rain by daybreak Monday.
A National Weather Service automated weather station in Taft measured .002 inches Monday morning.
The NWS says there is a 50 percent chance of more showers and even a thunderstorm for the remainder of Monday with a 40 percent chance tonight.
The chance of rain slips to 20 percent on Tuesday.

"Uncle Blogsy…."
"Egad! Are you still alive?"
"Yes, you didn't tie the knots quite tightly enough. Uncle Blogsy, is there ANYTHING you don't know about books?"
"Oh, baby grasshopper, no one knows everything about books. There have been so many books through the years that no one lifetime would suffice for even reading all the titles. Anyone who says else is a rotten old fibber."
"That's why I was asking you, Uncle Blogsy."
"I don't know why some hardcover books are rough and some are slippery. I know it's probably some secret ingredient in the cloth of the binding. There's one publisher in particular whose books are so uniformly slippery that I try never to stack them more than five high when I'm carrying them. I don't know their secret ingredient and I don't know why they bother."
"Is it so the books can be pulled off the shelf more easily, Uncle Blogsy?"
"I don't know that, either. But to judge by the condition of some that come in, nobody takes them off the shelf in the first place."
"Maybe they just look unused. Maybe the slippery cover makes them easier to wash when they get dirty."
"This company doesn't publish dirty books, young grasshopper. I also don't know what it is about books that attracts cats."
"Do books attract cats, Uncle Blogsy?"
"All reading material attracts cats, young grasshopper. Any time you spread out a newspaper or magazine or book for reading, a cat finds this an optimum sleeping spot. A cat also generally knows exactly which page you were reading and lies down there. Sometimes they get there ahead of you. I have friends who say that every time they think about tackling that stack of New Yorkers under the coffee table, the cat has curled up on top of them."
"They need to get a Kindle, Uncle Blogsy, or a Nook."
"I don't know, young grasshopper. I believe the cats are wise to us. A regular reader of this column says his cat takes no interest in him when he reclines in his easy chair, but the minute he sits up to work at the computer, the cat is squeezing between his lap and the computer shelf of his desk."
"Amazing, Uncle Blogsy! That's hard to believe."
"Yes, the cat…."
"Not about the cat, Uncle Blogsy. The bit about you having regular readers."
"Just for that, young grasshopper, I shall not make the joke about laptops that I was going to finish with."
"Do you see the tracks of my tears, Uncle Blogsy?"
"I am obdurate. If you want to hear the punchline, you must pay the Newberry's Annual Fund a dollar as a fee for the privilege."
"Uncle Blogsy, you don't mean…."
"Yes. It's one of my fee-lines."
"If anyone's looking for me, Uncle Blogsy, I'll just be tying myself back to that chair in the old sawmill."
"You're a real cut-up."

Sports-based youth fitness provider Amazing Athletes hopes to counter that trend by getting kids off the couch and into an active classroom with year-round programs designed to get children moving through instructional sports activities. The program focuses on preschool-age students as young as 2 years old to help lay a strong foundation of healthy habits from an early age.
"A lot of other programs don't focus on kids this young, and we're really starting to get a high obesity rate in kids [aged] two to four," said Sonja Brummer, owner of four Amazing Athletes franchises in San Diego. "We really want to focus on getting them active and show them that it can be fun to be active."
Through what she calls "positive play," Brummer explained the program is neither a classroom environment nor free-play recess. It utilizes the best of both — combining a fun outlet for energy release with educational development and discipline.
"We talk about eating healthy, getting your sleep and eating your fruits and vegetables," she said. "We incorporate a lot of things from the classroom, too — letters, numbers, colors, animals, some math, sometimes Spanish — so it's more than just a sports program."
At Little Steps Christian Preschool on Mt. Soledead, preschoolers take weekly Amazing Athletes classes to develop mental, physical and cognitive skills like hand-eye coordination, following directions, and speed and agility. Throughout the curriculum, students learn the basics of nine sports, which are rotated each week throughout the year.
"At this age, we're not so much teaching them the rules of the game. We're teaching them how to kick, how to throw," said Brummer. "Especially for the 2-year-olds, it's more of an exploratory class."
As kids get older, the classes become more structured, she said.
"We'll have some of these kids from 2 to 6 or 7 years old, so we don't want them to get bored," she said. "As they go up in age, we also progress their skill level."
And thanks to small class sizes, the program's coaches are able to work with each child according to his or her ability.
"Any kid can do this. We've had kids with disabilities, like cerebral palsy, and the doctors recommend it," she said. "We had one girl in particular who, when she first started, couldn't even hold up the baseball bat. Within a year or two, she was swinging the bat like it was nothing."
In addition to brain and motor-skill development, the program helps children build self-confidence when it comes to social and physical activity in grade school.
"By the time they get to elementary school, they probably have a wider knowledge of sports than other kids. We try to get them ahead of the game," she said.
The wide range of sports the students are exposed to helps to keep them from getting "frustrated when they're in elementary school in PE or in team sports," Brummer said.
"I always get extra sad when it comes time for them to leave the schools, especially when we've had them for so many years," she said. "At the same time, it's so great to see them develop a love for sports and activities and to see them progress from when they could barely walk to running, jumping and kicking."
Amazing Athletes offers year-round program registration, birthday parties and camps for children of all ages. Franchise opportunities are also available. Visit www.amazingathletes.com or call (888) 228-3942 for more information.

New London GOP disses its former mayor
It was odd the way New London Republicans this week chose some political unknowns as well as some problematic candidates for their slate for the fall City Council race.
At the same time, city Republicans strangely rejected Martin T. Olsen, a proven vote-getter who has won three council elections and served as both ceremonial mayor of the city, before it was a full-time job, and deputy mayor.
Olsen told me this week he will petition for a primary and is confident he will obtain the 66 signatures necessary to force one.
One of the problematic candidates nominated by Republicans is Marie Friess-McSparran, the Democratic city councilor whom the Democratic Town Committee declined to endorse for a second term.
That's right. City Republicans chose a rejected Democrat over a Republican who has proven to be one of the party's more successful candidates over the years.
McSparran, who has made obstructing the Democratic mayor a centerpiece of her campaign, is also well-known in the city as the person who tried to move the city's popular St. Patrick's Day parade out of town, to any other town that would take it. None did.
Another political newcomer on the Republican slate, attorney Gordon Videll, did actually succeed in moving his office out of town, from a downtown office building on State Street to Waterford.
Videll is also an odd choice in that his wife, also a lawyer and part of the two-lawyer law firm the couple runs together, is representing police union President Todd Lynch in his pending lawsuit against the city and the police chief.
It seems unlikely that Lynch's lawsuit, with its long, whining complaint about how the police chief treated him as an employee, will generate much in the way of damages.
But it's certainly possible that Videll's law firm has an agreement - pretty typical in civil lawsuits - to take a share of any damages that arise out of the Lynch lawsuit. If that's true, Videll needs to disclose it to voters.
It seems bad enough that city residents have both a police chief and a police union president suing the city. Why would they want a city councilor who stands to personally profit from the discord?
Videll was a call-in guest recently on a conservative Ledyard talk radio station, helping channel complaints by the city police union that city management is not being forthcoming about how, they claim, crime has soared in the city.
Videll has also complained about my criticism of the controversial police K-9 program managed by Lynch. A City Council vote on proposals to add more dogs is expected to be taken soon.
The increasingly shrill discussion on air this week about city crime rose to a suggestion by one of the radio station hosts of an out-and-out boycott of the city, as he told people from the suburbs they might want to stay away. (You wonder what the station's city advertisers might think of that.)
One other thing city voters might consider with a Videll candidacy is a two-and-a-half-month suspension of his law license in 2011. A Connecticut Judicial Department representative said the law license was suspended because he failed to pay a $110 annual payment required of all lawyers for a fund that reimburses victims of theft and misconduct by their lawyers.
Former Mayor Olsen told me he believes that Republicans rejected him in part because of a letter against his candidacy by former City Councilor George Sprecace, a one-time Democrat whose son, Adam Sprecace, is a popular GOP councilor who chose not to run again this fall.
Olsen said George Sprecace was mad at him because he won the last ceremonial mayor position, instead of Adam Sprecace.
George Sprecace denied that in the letter asking city Republicans to reject an Olsen candidacy because the former mayor broached party discipline.
"This is not personal. This is principle," George Sprecace wrote.
It's also, I would guess, part of a losing strategy.
This is the opinion of David Collins.

Capsule reviews of the next week's video releases, on DVD and Blu-ray, including special features:
Feb. 4
"Dallas Buyers Club" (R, 117 minutes, Universal): As Texas electrician Ron Woodroof, Matthew McConaughey delivers an award-winning performance, characterized not just by an astonishing physical transformation but by a wellspring of deep compassion and fearlessness. "Dallas Buyers Club" could have gone wrong in myriad ways, most of them having to do either with overkill or pompous self-seriousness. But director Jean-Marc Vallée, working with a lean, lively script by Craig Borten and Melisa Wallack, neatly avoids excess, letting Woodroof's terrific yarn stand on its own and getting out of the way of his extraordinary actors, who channel the story without condescension or manipulative cheats. Contains pervasive profanity, some strong sexual content, nudity and drug use. Extras include a look inside the film and deleted scenes.
"About Time" (R, 123 minutes, Universal): Writer-director Richard Curtis ("Notting Hill," "Love Actually") throws a series of spanners into the works — digressions and feints that turn "About Time" into something altogether deeper and more moving than a conventional rom-com. Perhaps more accurately, he has made a fam-com, a meditation on fatherhood, connection, sacrifice and simple, enduring love that sneaks up on the audience and blooms, like a slow-burning catch in the throat. Contains obscenity and some sexual content. Extras include commentary with Curtis and cast members Domhnall Gleeson, Bill Nighy, Vanessa Kirby, Lydia Wilson and Tom Hollander; deleted scenes, with set-ups by Curtis; blooper reel; Ellie Goulding "How Long Will I Love You?" music video. Also, on Blu-ray: featurettes "About Tim and Time Travel," "The Look, Style and Locations" and "The World of Richard Curtis."
"Baggage Claim" (PG-13, 93 minutes, Fox): This breezy, cheesy, wildly uneven romantic comedy, directed by David E. Talbert and adapted from his novel, stars the gorgeous Paula Patton as Montana, a flight attendant who's staring at the big 3-0 and is desperate to get married. There's so much wrong with "Baggage Claim" — from its outdated story line and similarities to the dreadful "What's Your Number" to Talbert's clumsy directing — that it's all the more surprising when things go right. But it would be unfair to deny that it doesn't provide its own modest pleasures. Contains sexual content and some profanity. Extras include commentary with Talbert, cast interview and three featurettes.
"Free Birds" (PG, 91 minutes, Fox): Finally, there's a movie vegetarian parents can enjoy with their impressionable offspring. The animated adventure "Free Birds" follows a couple of modern-day turkeys who travel back in time to the first Thanksgiving and try to alter history, thus saving their brethren for generations to come. Catering to both children and their chaperones is a precarious balance. "Free Birds" has the colorful palette, zippy action and silly story to keep kids giggling, but also delivers a few worthwhile winks to parents. Contains action and rude humor. Extras, on Blu-ray only, include "Birds Flipping History," two shorts on the animators and "Talking Turkey With Composer Dominic Lewis," and "Shake a Tail Feather" music video.
"Escape Plan" (R, 116 minute, Lionsgate): It's nice to know that, as they enter their golden years, Sylvester Stallone and Arnold Schwarzenegger can still carry an action flick, albeit a flimsy one like "Escape Plan." Still, there is modest pleasure to be had watching the Italian Stallion, at 67, and the 66-year-old Austrian Oak, as Schwarzenegger was known in his bodybuilding days, delivering justice to those who would disrupt their retirement. They may have to stop and rest a bit longer than they used to these days — allowing the movie to sag in the middle — but seeing them together is like a visit to Grandpa's house for Thanksgiving: musty-smelling and overly familiar, but satisfying. Just don't get your hopes up. Contains violence and obscenity. Extras include commentary with director Mikael Hafstrom and co-writer Miles Chapman and making-of featurette. Also, on Blu-ray: ""The Real-Life Tomb" and "Clash of the Titans" featurettes and deleted scenes.
Also: "The Inevitable Defeat of Mister & Pete" (this Sundance selection, a sad and scary story about two boys alone in the projects, made the Family Filmgoer's best of 2013 list; Lionsgate), "Romeo and Juliet" (featuring Hailee Steinfeld and Douglas Booth), "A Case of You," "Jules and Jim" (1962, The Criterion Collection), "Burton and Taylor" (BBC biopic starring Helena Bonham Carter and Dominic West), "The Little Penguin: Pororo's Racing Adventure" (Dove-approved animated film based on the Korean TV series, Lionsgate), "Scorned," "House of Versace" (Lifetime original, Lionsgate), "Pride and Perseverance: The Story of the Negro Leagues" (documentary), "Wings" (animated, Dove-approved family film, Lionsgate), "Banshee Chapter," "The Divorce,""Care Bears: The Care-a-thon Games" (animated, Lionsgate), "The Lady Vanishes" (BBC "Masterpiece Mystery!" adaptation of Hitchcock classic), "My Dog the Champion," "Nova: Cold Case JFK" (PBS), "Pit Stop," "Masterpiece: Classic English Literature Collection, Volume 2"³ (PBS) and "Geronimo Stilton: Intrigue on the Rodent Express and Other Adventures" (based on Scholastic book series).
Television Series: "Family Matters: Fourth Season" (1992-93), "Laverne & Shirley: Seventh Season" (1981-82), "Midsomer Murders, Set 23"³ (British mystery series, Acorn Media), "Joanie Loves Chachi: The Complete Series" (CBS, Paramount), "The White Queen," "The Broker's Man, Series 1"³ (British detective series, Acorn Media) and "Lalaloopsy: Friends are Sew Special!"
