   <title>NeatImage, Noise Reduction Tools</title>
   <link>http://lusihastari.blog.com/3251505/</link>
   <description><font size="2" color="#FFCC99" face="arial,helvetica,sans-serif">Howdy all,<br />
<br />
Last weekend some friends and I went to Tulamben beach. As usual we took some pictures. Some of us are quite good at photography but unfortunately, the cameras used are not good enough (Hope someday I could buy SLR..amin..). The cameras are&#160; Canon PowerShot A650 IS (Wina's), CANON PowerShot SX100 (<a target="_blank" href="http://elisabethyusnita.blogspot.com/">Nita</a>'s) and Olympus FE210 (mine).<br />
After transfering the whole pictures into my computer, I found that the pictures are noisy, blur, and the ilumination is not quite good.<br />
so I decide to edit some beautiful picture using Photoshop CS. I changed the contrast and brightness. And to remove the noise, I used smart blur. But, I was not satisfied with the result, the noise still clear to see.<br />
Then I searched for noise reduction tools. I found <a target="_blank" href="http://www.neatimage.com/">NeatImage</a>. After downloaded and I installed it. I made an experiment using <a target="_blank" href="http://www.neatimage.com/">NeatImage</a> by following the manual help. Yeah the result was quite amazing me!! The noise was reduced but the picture was not blur. Here I want to demo how to use <a target="_blank" href="http://www.neatimage.com/">NeatImage</a>.<br />
<br />
1. After fire the <a href="http://www.neatimage.com/">NeatImage</a>, open the image that you want to edit.<br />
<br /></font>
<div style="text-align: center"><img src="http://amadeo.blog.com/repository/1037372/3288571.jpg" align="bottom" /></div>
<font color="#FFCC99" face="arial,helvetica,sans-serif"><br /></font> <font size="2" color="#FFCC99" face="arial,helvetica,sans-serif"><br />
2. To filter the image, <a target="_blank" href="http://www.neatimage.com/">NeatImage</a> needs to know the characteristic of the noise produced by the camera digital that the image comes from. Use the Device Noise Profile tab.<br />
<br /></font>
<div style="text-align: center"><font color="#FFCC99" face="arial,helvetica,sans-serif"><img src="http://amadeo.blog.com/repository/1037372/3288421.jpg" width="391" height="79" /></font></div>
<font color="#FFCC99" face="arial,helvetica,sans-serif"><br /></font> <font size="2" color="#FFCC99" face="arial,helvetica,sans-serif"><br />
3. To build the profile, I recommend you using Auto profile function.<br />
<br /></font>
<div style="text-align: center"><font color="#FFCC99" face="arial,helvetica,sans-serif"><img src="http://amadeo.blog.com/repository/1037372/3288424.jpg" width="274" height="108" /></font></div>
<font color="#FFCC99" face="arial,helvetica,sans-serif"><br /></font> <font size="2" color="#FFCC99" face="arial,helvetica,sans-serif"><br />
4. After the profile is built, check the Profile quality indicator in the bottom. If the profile quality is high (higher than 75%) then it means that the noise profile is accurate.<br />
<br /></font>
<div style="text-align: center"><font color="#FFCC99" face="arial,helvetica,sans-serif"><img src="http://amadeo.blog.com/repository/1037372/3288426.jpg" width="536" height="27" /></font></div>
<font color="#FFCC99" face="arial,helvetica,sans-serif"><br /></font> <font size="2" color="#FFCC99" face="arial,helvetica,sans-serif"><br />
5. Save the profile.<br />
<br />
6. Then select the matching noise profile that we have just build.<br />
<br /></font>
<div style="text-align: center"><font color="#FFCC99" face="arial,helvetica,sans-serif"><img src="http://amadeo.blog.com/repository/1037372/3288427.jpg" width="273" height="111" /></font></div>
<font color="#FFCC99" face="arial,helvetica,sans-serif"><br /></font> <font size="2" color="#FFCC99" face="arial,helvetica,sans-serif">7. After build the profile, we need to adjust filter setting.<br />
But we are actually don't really need to adjust the setting because the default se</font><font size="2" color="#FFCC99" face="arial,helvetica,sans-serif">tting is available. The default setting is based on the noise analysis provided by the noise profile. Use the Noise Filter Settings tab.<br />
<br /></font>
<div style="text-align: center"><font color="#FFCC99" face="arial,helvetica,sans-serif"><img src="http://amadeo.blog.com/repository/1037372/3288430.jpg" width="434" height="88" /></font></div>
<font color="#FFCC99" face="arial,helvetica,sans-serif"><br /></font> <font size="2" color="#FFCC99" face="arial,helvetica,sans-serif"><br />
8. Adjust the noise level when necessary.<br />
<br /></font>
<div style="text-align: center"><font color="#FFCC99" face="arial,helvetica,sans-serif"><img src="http://amadeo.blog.com/repository/1037372/3288431.jpg" width="165" height="113" /></font></div>
<font color="#FFCC99" face="arial,helvetica,sans-serif"><br /></font> <font size="2" color="#FFCC99" face="arial,helvetica,sans-serif"><br />
9. Adjust noise reduction amount when necessary.<br />
<br /></font>
<div style="text-align: center"><font color="#FFCC99" face="arial,helvetica,sans-serif"><img src="http://amadeo.blog.com/repository/1037372/3288432.jpg" width="172" height="150" /></font></div>
<font color="#FFCC99" face="arial,helvetica,sans-serif"><br /></font> <font size="2" color="#FFCC99" face="arial,helvetica,sans-serif"><br />
10. Adjust sharpening settings when necessary.<br />
<br /></font>
<div style="text-align: center"><font color="#FFCC99" face="arial,helvetica,sans-serif"><img src="http://amadeo.blog.com/repository/1037372/3288433.jpg" width="174" height="90" /></font></div>
<font color="#FFCC99" face="arial,helvetica,sans-serif"><br /></font> <font size="2" color="#FFCC99" face="arial,helvetica,sans-serif"><br />
11. Use Output Image tab.<br />
<br /></font>
<div style="text-align: center"><font color="#FFCC99" face="arial,helvetica,sans-serif"><img src="http://amadeo.blog.com/repository/1037372/3288435.jpg" width="431" height="80" /></font></div>
<font color="#FFCC99" face="arial,helvetica,sans-serif"><br /></font> <font size="2" color="#FFCC99" face="arial,helvetica,sans-serif"><br />
11. Press the Apply button to get the final result.&#160;<br />
<br /></font>
<div style="text-align: center"><font color="#FFCC99" face="arial,helvetica,sans-serif"><img src="http://amadeo.blog.com/repository/1037372/3288438.jpg" width="195" height="109" /></font></div>
<font color="#FFCC99" face="arial,helvetica,sans-serif"><br /></font> <font size="2" color="#FFCC99" face="arial,helvetica,sans-serif"><br />
12. Then save it.<br />
<br />
Here's the before picture:<br />
<br /></font>
<div style="text-align: center"><font color="#FFCC99" face="arial,helvetica,sans-serif"><img src="http://amadeo.blog.com/repository/1037372/3288447.jpg" width="408" height="540" /><br />
<br /></font>
<div style="text-align: justify"><font color="#FFCC99" face="arial,helvetica,sans-serif"><br /></font><font size="2" color="#FFCC99" face="arial,helvetica,sans-serif">And here is the final result:</font><font color="#FFCC99" face="arial,helvetica,sans-serif"><br />
<br /></font>
<div style="text-align: center"><font color="#FFCC99" face="arial,helvetica,sans-serif"><img src="http://amadeo.blog.com/repository/1037372/3288460.jpg" width="427" height="561" /><br />

   <title>Tattoo Gets Boob Implants</title>
   <link>http://lusihastari.blog.com/3215015/</link>
   <description><font color="#C0C0C0" face="arial,helvetica,sans-serif" size="2">As I am unfortunately jobless now, I have so many time to browsing the internet. Well, as you all already know, lippo suction, skin bleaching, and hair extending are part of women things. For me, those activities are the way women 'upgrade' their looks in unappropriate way. Why I said 'inappropriate'? Because women still can 'upgrade' their looks appropriately. Ok, I don't need to name those appropriate ways because I'm not going to talk about it in this post, maybe later.<br />
Here, I bet all of you have already know about breast implant. Yap, breast implant is surgery that is intended to enlarge or bust a woman's boobs. That boob-job is done by adding silicone in the boobs.<br />
A couple days ago I found on the internet that someone gave his pin-up tattoo a set of carved silicone breast implants. The implants are carved as a single piece (rather than being, say, two separate domes). He has a tatto of a girl who has a big boobs. And if women put silicone in their boobs, Lane, a guy who owns the tatto, put the silicone in his tatto. Rather than imagine how it is, you'd better see the following picture.<br />
<br /></font>
<div style="text-align: center"><font color="#C0C0C0" face="arial,helvetica,sans-serif" size="2"><img src="http://amadeo.blog.com/repository/1037372/3255230.jpg" height="260" width="388" /><br />

<br /></font>
<div style="text-align: justify"><font color="#C0C0C0" face="arial,helvetica,sans-serif" size="2">In my opinion, many women have become ill from breast implants. He should do some reading to find out what the symptoms are so if he start to experience them, he will know it is time to have that silicone removed.<br />
Very dangerous procedure in my opinion. But still, I always respect and appreciate everyone's creativity.

   <title>High heels for newborns</title>
   <link>http://lusihastari.blog.com/3207292/</link>
   <description><font style="background-color: #333333" color="#FA8072" face="arial,helvetica,sans-serif" size="2">Hi readers,<br />
<br />
It's been a long time that I don't post something in here. Well finaly after my project finished (maybe someday I will post something about this project later), I got a time to spend my spare time to browse about my hobbies (read: fashion).<br />
Yep, I am totaly a fashion freak. I got a passion in fashion. Well, actually what I am gonna to write here is about fashion, fashion for babies.<br />
When we talk about fashion for babies, maybe we just think of babygrow, mini skirt, yeah a usual things. But, today I read an article in yahoo <a target="_blank" href="shine.yahoo.com">shine</a>. I was really surprised that nowadays high heels are also available for newborns. High heels for babies ages 0-6 months.<br />
<br />
<br /></font>
<div style="background-color: #333333; text-align: center"><font color="#FA8072" face="arial,helvetica,sans-serif" size="2"><img src="http://amadeo.blog.com/repository/1037372/3249674.jpg" height="185" width="213" /></font></div>
<font style="background-color: #333333" color="#FA8072" face="arial,helvetica,sans-serif" size="2"><br />
<br />
I found <a target="_blank" href="www.heelarious.com">this web</a> sells some heels for newborns. And the non-functional heels are jokey clothing item for non-walkers. The heel is made of foam that would collapse if weight was put on it.<br />
<br /></font>
<div style="text-align: center"><font style="background-color: #333333" color="#FA8072" face="arial,helvetica,sans-serif" size="2"><img src="http://amadeo.blog.com/repository/1037372/3249676.jpg" height="192" width="328" /><br />
<br /></font></div>
<font style="background-color: #333333" color="#FA8072" face="arial,helvetica,sans-serif" size="2"><br /></font>
<div style="text-align: center"><font style="background-color: #333333" color="#FA8072" face="arial,helvetica,sans-serif" size="2"><img src="http://amadeo.blog.com/repository/1037372/3249678.jpg" height="190" width="330" /></font></div>
<font style="background-color: #333333" color="#FA8072" face="arial,helvetica,sans-serif" size="2"><br />
Actually I agree if some people in <a target="_blank" href="http://shine.yahoo.com/channel/beauty/high-heels-for-newborns-181237/">this blog</a> mostly think that heels for newborns is crazy. Yeah, let the babies be babies. But that's quite amazing and a briliant idea I guess (from my fashion of view). Hehehe...<br />
Hmm maybe someday I will wear the same heels with my baby's when we both go to the wedding party. Hehehe...</font></description>

2. Milk.<br />
3. A table spoon of flour.<br />

2. Add a glass of milk, cheese and smoke beef. Wait until the beef cooked.<br />
3. Add salt.<br />
4. Boiled the fettuccini.<br />
5. Put the fettuccini in a plate, also the sauce.<br />
<br />

   <description><font color="#CCFFFF" face="arial,helvetica,sans-serif" size="2">Hi readers,<br />
<br />
<br />
I have never drunk any green tea at all. Because I think, green tea is only drank when someone wants to lose her weight. But I guess I am wrong since I read an article from <a target="_blank" href="http://shine.yahoo.com">Shine</a>. It's more than a drink to lose weight!! Here are 7 reason why we need to drink green tea:<br />
<br />
1. CUT YOUR CANCER RISK<br />
Several polyphenols - the potent antioxidants green tea's famous for - seem to help keep cancer cells from gaining a foothold in the body, by discouraging their growth and then squelching the creation of new blood vessels that tumors need to thrive. Study after study has found that people who regularly drink green tea reduce their risk of breast, stomach, eso----- us, colon, and/or prostate cancer.<br />
<br />
2. SOOTHE YOUR SKIN<br />
The tea is a natural antiseptic that relieves itching and swelling.<br />
<br />
3. PROTECT YOUR SKIN<br />
In the lab, green tea applied directly to the skin (or consumed) helps block sun-triggered skin cancer, which is why you're seeing green tea in more and more sunscreens and moisturizers.<br />
<br />
4. STEADY YOUR BLOOD PRESSURE<br />
Having healthy blood pressure - meaning below 120/80 - is one thing. Keeping it that way is quite another. But people who sip just half a cup a day are almost 50 percent less likely to wind up with hypertension than non-drinkers. Credit goes to the polyphenols again (especially one known as ECGC). They help keep blood vessels from contracting and raising blood pressure.<br />
<br />
5. PROTECT YOUR MEMORY, OR YOUR MOM'S<br />
Green tea may also keep the brain from turning fuzzy. Getting-up-there adults who drink at least two cups a day are half as likely to develop cognitive problems as those who drink less. Why? It appears that the tea's big dose of antioxidants fights the free-radical damage to brain nerves seen in Alzheimer's and Parkinson's.<br />
<br />
6. STAY YOUNG<br />
The younger and healthier your arteries are, the younger and healthier you are. So fight plaque build-up in your blood vessels, which ups the risk of heart disease and stroke, adds years to your biological age (or RealAge), and saps your energy too. How much green tea does this vital job take? About 10 ounces a day, which also deters your body from absorbing artery-clogging fat and cholesterol.<br />
<br />
7. LOSE WEIGHT<br />
Oh yeah, one more thing. Turns out that green tea speeds up your body's calorie-burning process.<br />
<br />
So, are you gonna drink green tea today??<br />

   <title>Composing Software Architecture Document</title>
   <link>http://lusihastari.blog.com/2950417/</link>
   <description><font color="#FF00FF" face="arial,helvetica,sans-serif" size="2">Hi readers,<br />
<br />
I work as software engineer in an <a target="_blank" href="www.mitrais.com">australian company</a> that headquartered in Bali. A couple weeks ago, I was assigned to an internal project. The project manager asked me to develop the Software Architecture Document. Since I am still junior, I got no idea in making the SAD. Where should I should start was someting I wonder. All the team members are also junior. So I decided to ask to my senior worked in another project. Here's the conclusion how to create the SAD.<br />
<br />
1. See the Software Requirements Specification document as the starting point. The use case diagram in that document is actually the starting point.<br />
2. After that we are then ready to create the Entity Relationship Diagram as well as the sequence diagrams. But, we need to detail the use case first so that we know what is needed in the database and how the processes flow.<br />
3. And the objects and the message calls in sequence diagrams can be used to create the class diagram. Do not forget to define the dependencies between classes.<br />
<br />
Actually not that easy in creating the SAD, but I hope that can help to create the SAD for the beginner such me ;)</font></description>

   <title>Chicken Gordon Bleu</title>
   <link>http://lusihastari.blog.com/2890259/</link>
   <description><div style="text-align: justify"><font color="#CC99FF" face="arial,helvetica,sans-serif" size="2">Kemarin, karena lagi nganggur dikantor, saya membaca-baca blog milik teman saya, <a target="_blank" href="http://rafaelrider.blogspot.com">Jay</a>. Saya tertarik dengan postingan Jay yang berjudul "<a target="_blank" href="http://rafaelrider.blogspot.com/2007/10/ketika-software-engineer-jadi-jagoan.html">Ketika Software Engineer Jadi Jagoan Kompor</a>". Dipostingannya, Jay menceritakan saat dia dan juga beberapa teman saya memasak <i>Chicken Gordon Bleu</i>. Membaca postingan Jay membuat saya ingin sekali membuat <i>Chicken Gordon Bleu</i>. Akhirnya saya dan pacar saya sepakat untuk memasak <i>Chicken Gordon Bleu</i> sepulang kerja.<br />
Setelah pulang kerja, kami mampir ke super market sebelah kantor untuk membeli bahan-bahan yang dibutuhkan. Lalu sesampainya di kost, saya langsung menyiapkan bahan-bahan yang diperlukan. Berikut adalah bahan-bahan yang diperlukan (untuk 2 porsi):<br />
1. Dada ayam <i>boneless</i> atau tanpa tulang.<br />
2. Keju.<br />
3. Bawang bombay.<br />
4. Merica.<br />
5. Minyak goreng.<br />
6. Tepung terigu (1 sedok makan).<br />
7. Susu putih.<br />
8. Tepung untuk membuat ayam goreng <i>crispy</i>.<br />
9. Garam.<br />
<br />
Cara memasaknya ayamnya:<br />
1. Bentuk ayam menjadi kantung-kantung.<br />
2. Iris tipis keju, lalu masukan ke dalam dada ayam.<br />
3. Buat campuran air, merica dan garam secukupnya. Lalu rendam ayam ke dalam campuran tersebut. Masukan dalam kulkas selama kurang lebih 30 menit.<br />
4. Setelah itu, balurkan ayam dengan tepung ayam goreng crispy.<br />
5. Goreng hingga matang.<br />
<br />
Cara membuat sausnya:<br />
1. Iris-iris setengah buah bawang bombay.<br />
2. Panaskan minyak goreng dan tumis bawang bombay hingga harum.<br />
3. Masukan satu gelas susu putih.<br />
4. Parutkan keju ke dalamnya sesuai selera.<br />
5. Aduk hingga keju leleh.<br />
6. Tambahkan garam secukupnya.<br />
7. Lalu untuk mengentalkan masukan satu sendok makan tepung terigu. Jika kurang kental, bisa ditambahkan lagi.<br />
8. Tunggu hingga matang.<br />
9. Setelah itu, tuangkan ke atas dada ayam yang telah dimasak tadi.<br />
10. Bisa juga ditambahkan kentang goreng dan salad.<br />
<br />
Saya dan pacar saya pun segera menyantapnya selagi hangat. Hmm...nyummy ternyata rasanya. Puas rasanya bisa makan <i>Chicken Gordon Bleu</i> buatan sendiri.<br /></font></div>
