Before I met my boyfriend I had lost thirty pounds – through extreme diet and obsessive exercise. I was vegan for one month. This past weekend was our five month aniversary. I have completely gained back everything I lost and possibly more and I feel larger than I ever have before. I’m having to wear the clothes that were previously too big for me, that now hardly fit. I wear dresses and skirts because I don’t feel like squeezing my fat into the uncomfortable restraints called pants.
I finally joined a gym but blew off my first training session – because I got high. And then I had the munchies – I’ve had the munchies all my life. I call my stomach my pot belly. Food is the easiest and most sociallyqqa acceptable drug to obtain. We celebrate with food and for me, everyday is a holiday.
My boyfriend says he loves every inch of me – he’s 6′1″ and 166 lbs – that’s my goal weight. He loves my big tits but I really hate them. They pretty much start at the base of my neck and get in the way of everything. When my boyfriend and I are having sex and he’s on top, he likes to watch himself go in and out of me and tell me to look. I look and comment how great it is but actually I can’t see a thing over my huge tits. That’s the only faking it I do in the bedroom futunately.

A l’occasion de la sortie du livre VECTOR MINDED chapitre premier la Galerie A organise une exposition regroupant les travaux récents des graffiti-artistes du Vibro Marker Deluxx. Fondé au début des années 90, le VMD ” collectif éternel ” , réunit des personnalités artistiques dévouées avec la même passion au culte de la lettre.

Leur approche mêle tradition classique du graffiti des origines ( respect des proportions, équilibre,  fresques en aplat…) et innovation formelle. Construite sur des amitiés fortes et nourrie d’influences nombreuses l’identité visuelle du groupe se démarque principalement par la rigueur stylistique des lettrages et leur qualité technique. Ses tags, flops, graffs aux dynamiques efficaces ont placé le craw VMD parmi les plus influents du graffiti français.

Sembra un mazzo di fiori?

Beh, vi assicuro per farlo mi sono fatto un mazzo così.

Partiendo de la base que estoy muy ‘curado de espanto’ en cuanto al análisis de imagen, voy a opinar sobre lo que creo que será el siguiente paso del análisis de imagen.

Curso tras curso, feria tras feria, puedo comprobar cómo cada día más los fabricantes tienen implementado un análisis de imagen asociado a sus cámaras / grabadores, aunque sea el más básico del mundo, pero lo tienen. La gran mayoría no sirven para que el sistema de CCTV funcione sin un supervisor o vigilante, pero el camino ya está marcado. Los algoritmos avanzan. Hace dos año apenas habían proveedores. Hoy en día veo como proveedores como ioimage , object video , honeywell … han avanzado en sus algoritmos, pudiendo realizar auténticas virguerías.

El otro día estuve hablando con un compi de trabajo, tras una visita de un proveedor a nuestras oficinas. Nos pusimos a desvariar, riéndonos un poco de la tecnología y… pensamos que lo que pensábamos como imposible podría ser el futuro del análisis de imagen.

Pienso que en un futuro no muy lejano, cualquier cámara de CCTV podrá determinar quién está en la imagen. Exacto, el software buscará en una base de datos y comparará las ‘caras’ y determinará quien ha entrado. Se me ocurren miles de aplicaciones…

I like this product particularly because of Indian HD movies availability in this format. This has been there for quite a while. Now as HD DVD lost, nytimes got an article about this new format.

No sooner has the battle for the next-generation high definition DVD format ended, with Blu-ray triumphing over HD DVD, than a new contender has emerged.

A new system that is incompatible with Blu-ray, called HD VMD, for versatile multilayer disc, is trying to find a niche. New Medium Enterprises, the London company behind HD VMD, says its system’s quality is equal to Blu-ray’s but it costs less. By undercutting the competition in production, replication and hardware costs, it thinks it can find a market among consumers with less disposable income, particularly outside the United States.

An HD VMD player costs less than a Blu-ray because it uses the red-laser technologies found in today’s standard-definition DVD players. The Blu-ray and HD DVD machines use a more-expensive blue laser system. “We do not intend to take on Blu-ray,” said Shirly Levich, New Medium’s vice president and product development manager, in an e-mail message. “We see VMD as a natural extension of mass market DVD product enhanced to HD capabilities. We shall not rekindle the format war.”

The industry and consumers may not see it that way, given that the company is promoting its price advantages. While Blu-ray players typically cost more than $300, an HD VMD unit is priced at $199. Sales through Amazon are scheduled to begin in five weeks, the company said. No talks have been held with the big-box retailers, like Wal-Mart Stores, to carry the product.

New Medium thinks its secret weapon is Michael Jay Solomon, one of Hollywood’s best-known film distributors, who has been named its chairman.

Although he has yet to approach the studios, Mr. Solomon, a former president of Warner Brothers International Television, said his long tenure in the industry would help him succeed in licensing movies for HD VMD. “It’s a combination of my good experiences and continual relationships,” Mr. Solomon said in a telephone interview from Shanghai, where he was visiting with company engineers.

No matter how cheap a player is, it is useless unless major movies are released using its format. To date, New Medium has come up short. Just 17 movies are available to customers in the United States at the company’s online store, including little-known ones like “The Enigma With a Stigma” and “Kandukondain Kandukondain,” a Bollywood production. Its major suppliers to the American market are Anthem Pictures, Eros Entertainment and SFM Entertainment, all independent distributors. Some bigger movies, like “Apocalypto,” are available in other territories.

Neither Walt Disney, Universal Studios nor Warner Brothers would comment on their interest in releasing movies on HD VMD. But even without major studio movies, Mr. Solomon thinks the company will be successful. The low cost of producing HD VMD master discs, from which the consumer products are made, and the inexpensive consumer players have attracted the owners of movie rights in China, India and Spain, Mr. Solomon said. He said Australia, China, India, Central Europe, Russia and Scandinavia would be major markets. “We can sell players for $90 and make a profit,” he said. In the United States, Mr. Solomon believes that producers of lesser-known movies, like religious organizations and independent filmmakers, will see HD VMD as a cost-effective way to create high-definition versions of their programming.

The Blu-ray camp is unimpressed. New Medium’s price strategy will fail, said Andy Parsons, chairman of the Blu-ray Disc Association, a trade group, because it relies on a false assumption: Blu-ray technology will always be more expensive.

“When you mass produce blue lasers in large quantities, hardware costs will absolutely come down,” Mr. Parsons said. “I’m sure we’ll eventually be able to charge $90 for a Blu-ray player.”

The HD VMD camp “is pitching a solution at a market niche that does not exist,” said Carmi Levy, senior vice president for strategic consulting at AR Communications, a Toronto research firm. “And even if it is a niche, you will never sell enough to make it a business.”

Mr. Solomon dissents. “Our idea is to create a player that people can afford. There is room for the two of us.” Unfortunately, those consumers who bought HD DVD players that are now orphaned may not agree.
