Puzzle program does 10,000-piece jigsaw in a day

11 hrs.

It's not enough that our robots clean our rooms and cook our meals ? soon they'll do our puzzles for us, too. Andy Gallagher, a researcher at Cornell University, has made a program that can assemble extremely difficult puzzles with great speed. It sounds frivolous at first, but there are actually some interesting applications.

The puzzles this program ??or artificial intelligence (AI) ??attempts to solve are more difficult than your average jigsaw: Instead of that saw cutting in zigzags and wavy lines, it cuts straight, eliminating the shape-based cues we use to match pieces. Gallagher's program can take a 10,000 piece puzzle of a high-resolution photograph and solve it in 24 hours ? which, as puzzle lovers will tell you, is no mean feat.

Check out this video of the program at work:

Gallagher's program solves the puzzle by studying the edges of every piece and putting together the ones which have?colors that?match best. But with 10,000 pieces and a lot of data for each piece, that's a long process. So Gallagher's model uses a strategy based on how humans solve puzzles: Finding groups of pieces and building on them, then sticking the groups together. Using this technique brought the solving?time?down to a day, three times the speed?of earlier models.

This type of algorithmic problem solving isn't just for puzzles. Although the exact method can in fact be used to reassemble shredded documents, something the Pentagon is always keen on, there are also?lots of applications for medical research, which needs to consider and compare the contours of molecules and medications.

Cystic Acne Treatment - Fitness and Health

TreatmentCystic acne treatment needs to be done better when you treat ordinary acne. Cystic acne is the result when you keep squeezing acne bumps.?Unlike the small whitehead pustules that most people with acne experience on the surface of their skin, acne vulgaris appears as large irritated bumps, often with the pustule hidden deep beneath the skin's surface.
Acne No More
The most traditional treatment of cystic acne involves the use of prescription medications. In most cases, patients are provided with a combination of products, including antibiotics, Benzoyl peroxide and topical retinoids.?Antibiotics (Erythromycin, Minocycline, Tetracycline) will effectively bring down the infection produced by cystic acne.?Using birth-control pill could be prescribed for women as treatment because the cause of acne has seething to do with overproduction of testosterone.

Home Treatment

  1. Baking soda is a better substitute for cleansing products like soaps and face washes! Baking soda paste exfoliates the skin and also removes dead skin unclogging the pores;
  2. Eat potatoes! Potatoes contain alkaline that eliminates the oil in the pores and also contain vitamins which will reduce the redness of the skin.

Causes

Cyst formation is a part of the immune system's mechanism in containing the infection from spreading further into the skin. The bacteria contained in the released pus leak deep into the skin, will rapidly multiply and this will produce a more profound inflammatory process, where your body will try to combat the bacterial infection.?As you can read on?wikipedia:
Some of the large nodules were previously called "cysts" and the term nodulocystic has been used to describe severe cases of inflammatory acne.
Having this type of acne?will not only damage the person physically, but also mentally!?Your doctor or dermatologist may recommend a prescription medication you apply to your skin or take by mouth.

U.S. experienced second warmest May, warmest spring on record, NOAA reports

ScienceDaily (June 7, 2012) ? According to NOAA scientists, the average temperature for the contiguous U.S. during May was 64.3?F, 3.3?F above the long-term average, making it the second warmest May on record. The month's high temperatures also contributed to the warmest spring, warmest year-to-date, and warmest 12-month period the nation has experienced since recordkeeping began in 1895.

The spring season's (March-May) nationally averaged temperature was 57.1?F, 5.2?F above the 1901-2000 long-term average, surpassing the previous warmest spring (1910) by 2.0?F.

Precipitation totals across the country were mixed during May, with the nation as a whole being drier-than-average. The nationally averaged precipitation total of 2.51 inches was 0.36 inch below average. The coastal Southeast received some drought relief when Tropical Storm Beryl brought heavy rains to the region late in the month.

This monthly analysis from NOAA's National Climatic Data Center is part of the suite of climate services NOAA provides government, business and community leaders so they can make informed decisions.

U.S. climate highlights -- May

  • Warmer-than-average temperatures occurred across the contiguous U.S. except the Northwest in May. Twenty-six states had May temperatures ranking among their ten warmest.
  • Precipitation patterns across the contiguous U.S. were mixed during May. The Eastern Seaboard and Upper Midwest were wetter than average. North Carolina, South Carolina, Vermont, New Hampshire and Minnesota had May precipitation totals among their ten wettest. Dry conditions prevailed across the Mid-Mississippi River Valley, Southern Plains and the Interior West with Arkansas, Missouri, Kansas, Nevada and Utah having a top ten dry May.
  • Tropical Storm Beryl made landfall near Jacksonville, Fla., on May 28, bringing beneficial rainfall to parts of the drought-stricken Southeast. Beryl occurred on the heels of Tropical Storm Alberto, which occurred offshore the Carolinas, marking the third time on record that two tropical cyclones reached tropical storm strength during May (prior to the start of June 1 hurricane season) in the North Atlantic basin.
  • Ongoing drought, combined with windy conditions, created ideal wildfire conditions across the Southwest. The Whitewater-Baldy Fire complex in the Gila National Forest of western New Mexico charred over 210,000 acres by the beginning of June. It surpassed 2011's Las Conchas Fire as largest wildfire on record for the state.
  • According to the U.S. Drought Monitor, as of May 29, 37.4 percent of the contiguous U.S. experienced drought conditions, a slight decrease from 38.2 percent at the beginning of May. Drought conditions improved across the coastal Southeast, the Southern Plains, Northeast and Upper Midwest while they deteriorated for parts of the Mid-South and Southwest.

U.S. climate highlights -- spring (March-May)

  • The nationally averaged temperature of 57.1?F during spring was 5.2?F above the long-term average. With warmest March, third warmest April and second warmest May, spring 2012 marked the largest temperature departure from average of any season on record for the contiguous United States.
  • Spring was drier-than-average for the contiguous U.S. as a whole, with a national precipitation total of 7.47 inches, 0.24 inch below average.
  • Record and near-record warmth dominated the eastern two-thirds of the nation during spring. Thirty-one states were record warm for the season and 11 additional states had spring temperatures ranking among their ten warmest. Only Oregon and Washington had spring temperatures near normal.
  • Wetter-than-average conditions prevailed from the West Coast through the Northern Plains and into the Upper Midwest. Oregon was record wet and Minnesota and Washington were third wettest. The Intermountain West, Ohio Valley, and parts of the Mid-Atlantic were drier than average. Colorado, Utah, Wyoming, Indiana, and Delaware had a top ten dry spring.
  • The U.S. Climate Extremes Index (USCEI), an index that tracks the highest and lowest 10 percent of extremes in temperature, precipitation, drought and tropical cyclones across the contiguous U.S., was a record-large 44 percent during the March-May period, over twice the average value. Extremes in warm daytime temperatures (81 percent) and warm nighttime temperatures (72 percent) covered large areas of the nation, contributing to the record high value.

Year-to-date (January-May)

  • The January-May months totaled the warmest such period on record for the contiguous United States, with an average temperature of 49.2?F, 5.0?F above the long-term average. Twenty-nine states, all east of the Rockies, were record warm for the five-month period and an additional 14 states had temperatures for the period among their ten warmest.
  • The year's first five months also brought dry conditions to much of the East. The Southwest was drier than average while wetter-than-average conditions persisted for the Pacific Northwest, Upper Midwest and the western Gulf Coast. The national precipitation total for the five-month period was nearly 1.0 inch below average.

12-month period (June 2011-May 2012)

  • The June 2011-May 2012 period was the warmest 12-month period of any 12 months on record for the contiguous United States. The nationally averaged temperature of 56.0?F was 3.2?F above the long-term average, surpassing the previous warmest 12-month period set last month by 0.4?F. The 12-month period encapsulated the second warmest summer, fourth warmest winter, and the warmest spring on record. Every state across the contiguous U.S. had warmer than average temperatures for the period, except Washington, which was near normal.

Naperville roofing, Windows Naperville, - Planning On Staying In ...











The volatile real estate markets throughout the country mean that many homeowners are staying put in their homes, even if they originally bought with the intention of moving after a few years. This means that homeowners are looking for ways to improve their houses. If you're wondering which projects can help revitalize the exterior of your house, here are some of the ones that offer the biggest bang for your buck. These are some of the best projects homeowners can do to improve their home.

Installing New Roofing

Installing new roofing is one of those projects that is oftentimes done because it's necessary, not because a homeowner wants to improve the look of the roof. Whether you have leaky roofing because of age or because of a recent storm, newly installed roofs can help improve the value of your home. Roofing has a potential return on investment of around 60-65 percent, and a new roofing system can definitely help your house sell quicker if you're faced with trying to sell in a few years. If you're staying put, you'll be able to enjoy a maintenance-free roof for years.

Replacing Old Windows

If your energy bills are out of control, consider replacing the windows. Whether your windows are old and worn out, or if they're outdated single pane windows, replacing them can greatly improve your home's energy efficiency. New windows can cost anywhere from $300 up to $1000 per window, but they have a return on investment of up to 80 percent, which means homeowners can rest easy knowing that they're making smart improvements whenever they do try to sell. If owners choose to stay in their home, new windows can greatly reduce the cost of heating and cooling, so they're a smart upgrade any way you look at it.

Using Siding Contractors To Replace The Siding

Smart homeowners know that the exterior of the house makes the first impression for guests and neighbors. Instead of dealing with worn out, faded siding, they're calling siding contractors to upgrade the look of their houses. There are a number of different types of materials that siding contractors can install, but homeowners looking for the biggest return on investment are choosing fiber cement siding. This type is long lasting, is resistant to mold and can even be painted any color the homeowner wants. Fiber cement also offers a return on investment of nearly 90 percent, which makes it a natural choice for homeowners who want a great looking home and to gain the highest return on investment for any home remodeling project.

Choosing The Right Contractor

Before you choose your contractor, make sure you're choosing one that offers lengthy extended warranties. These types of roofing, windows and siding contractors will likely be highly experienced at completing different types of home improvement projects, which can help ensure you get the quality installation that you need. Check to see if there are any complaints through the Better Business Bureau and ask how long the company has been in business. A company without longevity in your area might be more likely to close up before the work is completed, leaving you scrambling to find another contractor to help.

Also, take the time to get at least three different bids before selecting the contractor for your home. If one quote seems much lower than the others, do a little research and find out why. Oftentimes this can be because the contractor has cut corners, they don't pull the proper permits or even because they're uninsured to do the work.

If you're unable to sell your house because of the local economy, that doesn't mean you have to be stuck with a house that makes you unhappy. Instead, look for exterior remodeling contractors, such as siding contractors who can help you improve the look of your home.

California High-Speed Rail Faces New Legal Challenges ? CBS ...

SACRAMENTO (KCBS) ? A pair of lawsuits have been filed by farmers in the Central Valley, as they contend that the current path of California?s high-speed rail project would severely affect their livelihoods.

The two suits were filed in Sacramento County Superior Court on Friday, one by the Merced County Farm Bureau and the other by the Madera County Farm Bureau.

KCBS? Mark Seelig Reports:

California High-Speed Rail Faces A New Legal Challenge

Anja Raudabaugh, Executive Director of the Madera County Farm Bureau, said by their calculations, the bullet train?s path would render 1,500 acres of prime farmland useless.

?For our county, agriculture is our business. So it?s as if you were going to come in and take HP or Intel out of some of the high tech counties,? she said.

Raudabaugh also called the California High-Speed Rail Authority?s Environmental Impact Report less than stellar.

Dan Richards, Chairman of the High-Speed Rail Authority, disagrees.

?Our view is that our environmental documents were sufficient and were done with thoroughness,? he said.

Despite that, Richards said he does understand the arguments by the farm bureaus.

?That?s just part of the process. We live in a very complicated state and people have lots of different opinions,? he said.

Richards said they plan to vigorously defend themselves in the suit and hope in the end, they can move along with a project that everyone can get behind.

Raudabaugh said they are not trying to be obstructionists, only doing what?s necessary to protect the interests of farmers.

Barring any type of settlement, the case is scheduled for a hearing within 30 days.

'Project X' Star Proclaims Himself 'America's Dirtbag'

Oliver Cooper is desperate to win the Best Onscreen Dirtbag prize at Sunday's MTV Movie Awards.

Oliver Cooper wants your vote!

The "Project X" star is nominated for a couple of MTV Movie Awards, but it's the Best Onscreen Dirtbag prize that he's really after. While promoting this year's awards show, Cooper petitioned America for their vote.

"Listen. Is America listening right now? I want you to vote for me for Best Onscreen Dirtbag because, truly, I am a dirtbag," he said.

This isn't the first time Cooper has tried to swing the vote. But instead of pointing out why the other contenders — including Colin Farrell, Jon Hamm and Jennifer Aniston — shouldn't get the award, he explains why he thinks he should.

"I f---ed up an entire neighborhood. I didn't care about my friends. I still don't care about those guys, OK? What else did I do in that movie? I don't even remember. It's all a blur. I don't even care about the movie — that's how much of a dirtbag I am," he said. "I just want that goddamn popcorn, so I can have a career."

That's when things start to get a little sad. Cooper explains how he's at the brink of bursting out into Hollywood and needs a Golden Popcorn to help get him there.

"Everybody else out there, they've got careers, they're doing movies all over the world. Me? I'm living with my aunt right now. In Encino," he said. "I'm Jewish, but I haven't been to temple in over three years. Honestly, I'm a little confused. I don't have a girlfriend. Recently, the girls I've been seeing, they don't even speak English. Seriously. And that's because I don't want to talk to them."

And that's where it all comes together for Cooper: managing to make us feel bad for him while reviling him at the same time.

"I'm a dirtbag," he promised. "I'm America's dirtbag."

Head over to MovieAwards.MTV.com to vote for your favorite flicks now! The 21st annual MTV Movie Awards air live this Sunday, June 3, at 9 p.m. ET.

Adjustable VA Loan Rates Are Like Nothing Else You've Seen | The ...

?

By Scott C. Antle

The special adjustable VA loan rates that are the most integral feature of the special system used to help Veterans buy homes are much different than what many people would think. If you bothered to ask the rest of the homebuyers across the country how they feel about adjustable rates, they probably wouldn?t have anything good to say. However, the kind of adjustable rates that are available to members of the VA are completely different than what a lot of those people are used to.

Thanks to the VA and the regulations they?ve set up, vets won?t see more than a one percent increase in their mortgage rate at a time. And to make things much better than that, the one percent that it can adjust can only be added or subtracted once a year, so after a one percent adjustment, they don?t have to worry about anymore adjustments for an entire year.

A civilian would likely be amazed to learn of this type of system, because they are still faced with the chance that there rate will adjust so much in a single year that they can no longer afford their home. The Department of Veteran Affairs makes sure that the veteran and active members of the armed forces will never have to be worried about being foreclosed on because of an unexpected rate adjustment.

Some people still tend to get pretty nervous about their mortgage rates increasing to something like fifteen percent in fifteen years, but you can rest assured that this doesn?t actually happen. There is a set number of years in which your rate can be adjusted from the start of the loan to the time it is finally paid off, so even if your rate increases every single year that you have your loan, there is no way that it can go any higher than the percentage cap put in place.

An adjustable rate comes with numerous benefits for everyone involved, such as providing the lender with the ability to negotiate a more favorable term for clients like you, and the VA makes sure that you get your share of benefits as well. It should go without saying that these special VA loan rates are unlike anything else on the market, so any veteran who is seriously considering owning their own home in the near future should definitely see what the VA has to offer them.

Choosing the right type of home loan to finance any purchase can be more overwhelming. Get started saving money with VA streamline and learn more how to save time, money and frustration. Please visit vamortgageleader.com.

How To Have A Successful Home Based Business | Le Marketeer

Design your office so that you are comfortable and your essentials are within easy reach. Having to crane your neck to view your screen can cause you great discomfort, and it can lead to permanent damage. If a great deal of your day will be spent at your desk, invest in the highest quality chair you can afford. The same holds true for all of the equipment you will use on a daily basis, such as your mouse, keyboard, overhead light fixture or desk lamp. A small investment in quality office equipment and necessities can reap big rewards.

Set a consistent schedule for work. Jot down the hours when you plan to work so you have a schedule to stick by. While putting in long hours at work is sometimes required, you should not make this a regular occurrence. Quality time with your loved ones is a great stress-reliever, so put work to the side and enjoy your family time.

Consider running a meal service that delivers fully prepared dishes, or possibly setting up a grocery delivery service. Brainstorm ideas for community service opportunities since there are always many ways to help people around you.

Create the opportunity for potential customers to buy from your website. To compete in today?s market you need the ability to sell your product online, not just at a physical location. It is possible to sign up for one at a low cost on various websites.

Be prepared for a large increase in phone traffic when starting a business at home. A second phone line just for business can be a saving grace. Being able to mute or turn off the telephone at times that your business is closed is important.

As you can see, it will require a little bit of work and dedication to make the jump. If you can manage to pull through and stick to the plan, you will be able to accurately represent your dream in the company?s image and create something that is long-lasting and profitable over the years.

Marketing is very important for any business. It can make the difference between success and failure. Would you invest thousands on getting your business off the ground, developing your products and services, getting the right staff and infrastructure and let it fail due to lack of marketing?

It does not matter whether your business is a one-person-business or a large multi-national, it is important to get the word out. Ultimately, more leads mean more customers which in turn means, more income. And since it is all online with very little overheads, this means bigger profits!!!

But overall your marketing machine can become highly targeted and operate with purpose. Any niche market will only relate to the words you write when they are in terms used by the audience of that particular market. All of those old-fashioned ideas about trust, understanding and even a tenuous relationship are all crucial in your copy.

Creation of the email is the next point of consideration. Ensure that the emails that you sent are not pointless or senseless. They should always inculcate newer ideas and the innovation should be targeted to bring out those ideas which convince the viewers to grab their attention.To make the receiver feel good it is important that you offer them an alternative of unsubscribe if they do not want to receive the emails.

What you need to do any time you read an information article about business techniques is immediately see how it may fit with what you do.

Finding Forgotten Stories
http://finding-forgotten-stories.com
Blog type: Individual family history

I have been chasing my ancestors through? Virginia, North Carolina and South Carolina for many years and hopefully I?ve helped a few friends and cousins along the way.?I just recently completed the Boston University Online Genealogy Certificate course and I?m gearing up to attempt CG certification.

I?ve worked in the internet industry in software and product manager for companies including CNET, Webshots and Excite@Home.? I have a Master?s degree in Computer Science from Purdue University, where I also taught Computer Science for 8 years.

My passion for history and computers merged into a lifelong fascination of genealogy and developing advanced search techniques to carve important clues out of historical documents.

I am a Product Manager at Ancestry.com and I write the Ancestry Anne column for Ancestry.com.

Lately, I?ve been focused on how we can do more than collect the data.? I want to bring my ancestors to life.

When I first started doing genealogy it was all about growing the tree, going back one more generation. But before too long I had a tree with a bunch of records attached.? Something seemed to be missing.?? I still needed to be in touch with who these people were.

Genealogy or Family History is not just kinship.? It is also about identity.? Who were my ancestors?? What were there lives like?? Each record holds a piece of the puzzle.? I?ve talked to a lot of people who do genealogy and many want to tell the story and? many don?t know where to start.? I think the key is to do it as you go.

I want to do two things in this blog:

1. Talk about techniques we can use to help us tell the story

2. Tell a few stories as I go.

I hope to get many comments and help in learning more about each photo I post.

Hello there family and extended family!

I WAS trying to get a site up and got impatient. I am establishing this site for my friends and family!

My personal email is [email?protected] and welcome any and all corrections, suggestions, comments and questions. I will be posting both sides of my family. If you have ANY questions, just let me know. I do and will privatize all my family members that are still alive. Unless they have passed on, (your) their information will remain private.

Also, if you found my site by web surfing and am wondering where I fit in to the Vaughn?s, here is how I am connected:

I am Elizabeth Culberson Noble. My mother is Roberta L.(Vaughn) Culberson, who is the daughter of Alfred Tennyson Vaughn, the granddaughter of Joseph George Vaughn, great-granddaughter to Joseph Thomas Vaughn, great-great-granddaughter to Cornelius Vaughn Jr., Cornelius Vaughn Jr was the son of Cornelius Vaughn Sr. Cornelius Vaughn Sr., was the son of James Cornelius Vaughan/Vaughn and James Cornelius is believed to be one of three immigrant sons to Lord Robert and Lady Vaughan of Isle of Wight, England. When you look around my site you will find the story behind that.

Also, if you found my site by web surfing and am wondering where I fit in to the Herzog?s/Mishcke?s, here is how I am connected:

The purpose of this website is to keep the history of the family available to the new generation in to understand the roots of the family, history and find the genealogy.

The website domain was registered in 2010 and not much was done to the website with regards to the family information.

In this website, at present, we are adding a Family Tree, where all the available family member?s basic information will be added gradually. Basic information will be added based on the ?Moonnanappallail Family History? book and later with the cooperation of all the family members, we can add new members information.

pardon my redundancy

Pardon My Redundancy
http://pardonmyredundancy.wordpress.com
Blog type: Individual family history

The thought occurred to me to build an anecdotal blog detailing my life knowing full it will be of little interest to anyone outside the family. Even then it may prove to be of little value to my x-wife and estranged children but at least I will have made the effort.

It was midway through the process of putting this blog together that the thought occurred to me that others might be interested in doing the same thing so I decided to add this page in the hope I might stimulate visitors to immortalize their own stories.

Just think about it.

If your great grandparents, grandparents, and parents had had the means to share their stories putting them in some sort of written or recorded form, you would not only have been given the opportunity to benefit from the wealth of their life?s experiences but would have undoubtedly gained a deeper appreciation for your ancestors as well.

Of course, nothing can be done about the fact that their stories have for the most part been forgotten but you can make sure that the ones you have to tell don?t fade away with the passage of time.

To get a grasp of the possibilities, I invite you to click on a title or two in the right hand column under Recollections or the category Anecdotal Memories to see a summary list. Perhaps, in reading them you will be inspired to begin the process of immortalizing your own memories so they (and you) are not forgotten.

Who knows? Perhaps a concerted effort on your part to record your memories will inspire a new family tradition, one that will motivate your children and your children?s children to do the same.

Need help?

1. If you have stories to tell but have difficulty putting them down on paper, I?ll be more than happy to transcribe the stories you tell me and then publish them on a blog much like this one.

2. If you enjoy writing but would like a professional to edit your work, I?ll be more than happy to assist you with that.

3. If you just need assistance setting a blog up in the first place, in an hour long teleconference I can get you up and running.

Want to explore the virtually unlimited possibilities? Just fill in the form and let me know how to reach you.

Patrick?s late brother Mike was an Anglophile, and used to love those little name plate signs one would see on British houses of old. So one day, he had a sign made for his own dwelling: he called it Strange Hall.

Strange Hall is our blog about family history, genealogy, and research for our own strange and wonderful Shannon and Oliva families. We enjoy both family and history, and like to bring the historical and social contexts of our ancestors into our writing. We think it helps paint a more interesting, authentic picture of their life?s adventures.

We?ve got a lot to say, especially about Philadelphia, Chicago, Italy, Latvia, Ireland, and Germany. We hope you?ll join us often and get in touch if you find something to share. Thanks for stopping by.

The Reddick Bryan Family, Bienville and Beyond, A Timeline
http://www.thereddickbryanfamily.com
Blog type: Individual family history

Reddick Bryan was my great-great grandfather. I began this timeline in 1999, soon after contacting Dennis Bryant, an avid Bryant/Bryan researcher from Georgia, who found Reddick in Martin County, North Carolina. The following quote was found in a letter written by Dennis to Larry Martin, a great-grandson of Reddick Bryan.

There is a small hamlet today in Martin County, North Carolina that is called Oak City. It?s in the upper end of the county near the Roanoke River. The present name only dates back to 1905, but settlers began arriving in that vicinity soon after 1700, when it was a part of Chowan Precinct. The county name of this area changed over the years to Bertie County, then Edgecombe County, then Halifax County. In 1774, the name became, and has remained, Martin County. Bryans were in the area at least by 1749. They were among the earliest settlers in present day Martin County and they acquired many acres of what is still recognized as the best land in the county.

(AP) ? President Barack Obama is urging Congress to act on a number of bills he says will accelerate the economy. He says the nation has responsibilities that are "bigger than an election."

In his weekly radio and Internet address, Obama says Congress could pass bills to help states prevent more layoffs, put construction workers on the job and help small business owners hire workers.

It follows the May jobs report, which showed the nation added only 69,000 jobs. Unemployment increased to 8.2 percent.

Republican Sen. John Cornyn of Texas says Democrats are promoting "gimmicks" and unless Congress and Obama act, Americans will deal with a tax increase of nearly $500 billion. He says the tax hike could push the nation back into recession and urged Obama to support tax reform.

1,240-page dictionary uses Googled images instead of words

21 hrs.

It may not be the best use of paper, but this unique?dictionary certainly is an interesting crossover of the digital with the analog. Two London designers, Ben West and Felix Heyes, decided to create a dictionary that has, instead of 21,000 words you'd normally find inside a common desk dictionary, the first image that shows up when you Google those words.

The result is "Google,"?an enormous 1,240-page book with every word represented by an image and printed out in order. The two did it by running some scripts that would automatically search for a word, download the first image, and place it in the book's layout. They then printed that out as the hardcover edition you see, complete with marbled cover and thumb indentations for each?letter.

Theoretically, it could be done again and again with different images coming up?as the Google results shift ? but considering the copyright implications (they didn't ask the image owners or Google for permission) and the amount of work involved in exporting and binding the pages, it's unlikely the book will ever see more than a limited release.

And since they didn't edit the results for relevance or appropriateness, it's a bit of a mixed bag content-wise. West tells Creave Applications:?"I would estimate about half of the book is revolting medical photos, porn, racism or bad cartoons."?So perhaps not a good candidate for your coffee table.

Take a peek inside the book in this video, and visit the creators' sites for more information.
