Gore Bike Wear Xenon 2.0 Women's Bib Shorts $199.95
Better on the bike and off.
All of the comfort and performance-enhancing fit advantages that a top-tier bib short offers can sometimes be easily overlooked by the potential inconvenience of having to remove the entire short when making a pit stop. Gore Bike Wear has engineered a clever solution to that quandary, by designing the Xenon 2.0 Bib Short around a patented double-zip system that quickly disconnects the short from the mesh upper straps. You get the best of both worlds, without compromising on fit or convenience. Gore also included an intuitive hook closure that holds the two front straps together across your chest, keeping the X-shaped upper harness securely and confidently in place while you ride.
Gore didn't skimp on ingenuity when it came to constructing the lower portion of the short, either. They started with a high-gauge Lycra to maximize muscle support, before dividing the bib short into panels to create an ergonomic fit. They even shifted all of the short's flatlock seams away from potential irritation or chafe points so you'll never have to disrupt your rhythm in the paceline to adjust. The short's front panels are constructed with a nylon that is less elastic, so the portion of the short that holds the front of the Xenon Sonic Lady insert retains its support profile better. Gore opted not to use a silicone bead in its leg endings, but rather a wide, compressive band of nylon and Lycra to keep the hems confidently in place. And lastly, Gore constructed the inside saddle contact panels of the short from a more abrasion-resistant weave of nylon, ensuring the Xenon 2.0 is the bib you reach for season after season.
Gore has fitted the Xenon 2.0 Bib Short with their top-shelf Xenon Sonic Lady insert. Nicknamed the "less is more" insert, the Sonic Lady is a highly elasticized and dynamic three-dimensional insert that moves with your body as you pedal, giving you complete freedom of movement and comfort at every point on the saddle. While optimized for long rides, it's still Gore's lightest weight, and lowest profile insert that still delivers multi-density cushioning where you need it most, while minimizing any potentially problematic friction points. A close look at the honeycomb-esque pattern on the surface, and you'll notice how Gore has finished the insert with antimicrobial carbon fiber threads for complete moisture management and heat distribution throughout the life of the short.
The Gore Bike Wear Women's Xenon 2.0 Bib Shorts are available in either Black, or White with Black accent. Both colors feature reflective logo hits and inserts on the back legs to help keep you visible if you're riding home after dusk. They are available in X-Small to XX-Large and feature an inseam measuring 21cm (8in).
- Flat-lock seams reduce chafing
- Zipper with semi-lock slider make the tight easier to get into and out of with slippage
- Gripper elastic on bottom hem keeps the tight from riding up
- Reflective elements to make you more visible at night
- Mesh back insert promotes airflow to help your body regulate its temperature
- Women-specific XENON SONIC LADY insert accomodates wider sit bones with a wider profile, super-dense foam, and an ultra-thin perineal area to relieve pressure

The Black One is Better
Member since
- Gender: Female
- Familiarity: I've used it several times
Good, except that the white parts are pretty transparent although you get the benefits of the ventilation. The flat lock stitching is more robust on the black model. I purchased both and the black one is virtually damage proof! This one is more delicate.
Both fit well and look great though. The seat insert is excellent.

I can't quite figure out the "bio" portion...
Member since
I can't quite figure out the "bio" portion of the bibs from the description printed. Can someone provide a detailed description of how this system works. Is there a zipper that goes all the way around? How hard is it to reattach the shorts to the bibs? I am hesitant about its ease of use. Thinking it might still be faster to strip off the jersey? Also can anyone comment on the mile range and wickability of the chamois? Thanks!
Member since
Great Question
Unfortunately I haven't demoed these bibs myself ( I'm a guy) but many of my customers have so I can give you their take.
The Bio system was designed by a female employee at Gore Bike Wear who was an ex pro road racer in Europe. The system was engineered with ease of use in mind. The zipper goes all the way around the waist but keeps the bib in one piece so it is very easy and fast to zipper back up and get back on the bike. Definitely faster and easier than taking the jersey on and off - so I've heard from my customers !
The insert on the shorts is specifically designed with a high moisture transfer fabric to ensure you stay dry and comfortable on long rides. I will post a close up image shortly.
Sorry for the delayed response please post again if you have anymore questions.
all about comfort, quality and function
Member since
- Familiarity: I returned this product before using it
I love bib shorts. I wear Pearl Izumi bib shorts in sz m. I wanted to give the Gore shorts a try because of the unique bio break system. I had trouble with the Gore sizing, After 3 tries I found the sz l to work best. The zipper system works well but the straps aren't as comfortable as the Pearls. I did not like the white on the bottom of the leg openings. It put me in mind of a Penguin. The bibs gave me a funny shape....penguin like? When paying over $100 bucks for shorts I want them to fit well and if at all possible look good on me. I am short, busty, over 60 with a body going south but happy to still be riding.

I've the Xenon 'shorts', and love them, and the 'racy accent stripes'! Am considering these bibs, too. I'm closing in on your 'specs', too (busty, etc.) you say the straps aren't so comfortable, did they dig-into your shoulders? How tall are you, so I can compare to figure which, if at all, size I would need. (I'm 5'6", heavier than I want to be (working on it!), and usually wear a XXL, to sometimes a XL in Gore...
Will check back. You might like Giordana better? Will check back later.

Briarcliff-Pocantico Hills Girls Scouts from six troops spent several hours in front of two local businesses collecting donations of food and other items for the victims of Hurricane Sandy.
Setting up tables in front of the Chilmark A&P and Value Drugs, scouts passed out a list of items needed so shoppers could purchase them while inside the stores.
Shoppers then came out of the stores with the items and placed them in bins, while those wishing to make a cash donation could do so--something the Girl Scouts rarely accept unless of special circumstances such as this relief effort.
Value drugs also offered a 10 percent discount on all items purchased if people also bought items for the relief effort. The donated goods and funds will be given to the UJA Federation of New York/Westchester in White Plains for distribution to those in need.

E-mail at UW-Platteville
Clear Float
This pane clears float!
As announced via campus e-mail on March 10, UW-Platteville will be switching from Zimbra Collaboration Suite to Microsoft Office 365 for its e-mail and calendaring needs. This decision marks the first step in the planning process. A project team will be convened to plan the detailed timline and steps, including a communications plan and training. Conversion of more than 14,600 active e-mail accounts will be done by Spring 2015. Every effort will be made to ensure the transition is gradual and strategic and that faculty, staff, and students have the training, documentation, and support they need to be comfortable with these new tools.
Concerned about functionality or workflows? A mechanism will be established for sharing these questions online. For now, please direct your concerns to the ITS Help Desk at firstname.lastname@example.com so we may document and address them in due time.
Your Official UW-Platteville E-mail Account
UW-Platteville utilizes Zimbra Collaboration Suite for its e-mail and calendaring needs. Zimbra provides an array of organizational features including tags, folders, and filters; a robust advanced search tool; and the ability to share items with others. In addition, Zimbra Tasks allows you to monitor the progress of projects on your to-do list.
Your uwplatt.edu Zimbra account is your official account at UW-Platteville. All e-mail and calendar invitations sent from university departments and personnel will go to this official account. If you choose to forward your Zimbra account to another provider, add the domain uwplatt.edu to that provider's trusted list to ensure you receive all important university communications.
The UW-Platteville Spam Firewall rates all e-mail messages that pass through it based on several criteria. E-mail messages that are clearly spam, contain viruses or worms, contain suspect URLs, or contain banned attachment types are automatically quarantined. E-mail messages that do not meet any of the aforementioned criteria are considered good and are allowed to pass through the system. If the system cannot make a determination of whether the message is good or bad, the message is held in quarantine until acted upon or aged out after 30 days. These security measures prevent more than 350 messages from entering your inbox every month; that's nearly 4 million total, campus-wide. Every month.
E-mail and Calendaring Project
Our five year contract with Zimbra is expiring in August 2014. While Zimbra has worked well for the campus, it is important to determine if it is the best solution for UW-Platteville, both now and in the years to come. Accordingly, an e-mail/calendaring committee with student, faculty, and staff representatives was formed and has been meeting to develop a plan to evaluate how well Zimbra meets our needs and compare it to other possible alternatives. Check the project web site for committee meeting minutes, decision criteria, and more information about the process. If you have any questions or comments, please send a message to firstname.lastname@example.com.
Every Friday from 5–6 p.m.

My Pets is a Pet information site with information about a great many different types of pets. Pets that bark, meow,fly,hiss,crawl - pets that you can interact with, pets that are there merely for you to observe such as fish, scorpions,spiders. Pets that can be a friend, a companion, a hobby and more. The animals discussed on this site can be separated generally into 3 different types
Choosing an animal for a pet is no easy task. What type of animal is right for you? How much to spend? Where to source if from? Are you seeking a companion, or something to observe? Are you interested in having your pet compete in shows, or in competitions. Are you interested in breeding? What size is right for you and how much activity in your pet are you looking for? Boy Pet? Girl Pet? Multiple Pets.... maybe even different species.
Choosing the right animal to be your Pet, Hobby or Show animal, is important both for the owner, the owner's parents(if they are the ones that will end up looking after it), and most of all, for the Pet itself. Before you buy a pet, use our site for research then choose wisely, as a wrong choice is going to work out badly for all involved, especially your new pet.
Buying a Pet Online. We understand that after using the internet as a tool to research a pet, you may decide to then buy a pet online. There are LOTS of problems with this, again, both for you as the buyer, and for your potential pet. Many people take advantage of the anonymity offered by the internet to breed pets in bad conditions, and then offer them for sale. This is called pet milling, puppy and cat mills are now very common. PLEASE read our guide for avoiding taking part in this practice.
We publish well written and research pet articles from our site members. Articles may be linked to product and business listings(where they exist), as well as your website. Articles must be will written, original and not published elsewhere on the net. See and example here Rewarding your dog and the psychology of treats
My Pets has a Pet Breeder directory and free Pet Classifieds section. It's an Australian Pets only directory with businesses sorted by state and town, so if a buyer is looking for a breeder or business of your type near them, they will find it in our Pet Breeders and Pet Classifieds section. The Breeder and services section of the classifieds are permanent listings, animal and pet products sales, only stay live for 26 weeks.

Angus here - my latest on the lockout and the Carolina Hurricanes.
I am also running a contest over at my Facebook page - "like" my page and post your guesses for the top 50 NHL trade values (in order) to win an autographed Alex Edler 8x10. The details.
Lockout Update: Day 2 - There is still a lockout.
The league has to cave on this one. Will they? I think so. Obviously we hope it happens sooner, rather than later. But the problem is, they have already received $200 million from NBC for this season. That's a nice war chest. The players, meanwhile, will get 8% of last year's salary on October 15, thanks to their escrow being refunded. So a lockout does nothing to them. And furthermore, with memories of the last lockout still fresh, many players have already signed overseas. I remember last lockout it took many players weeks, even months, to make the decision to play elsewhere.
The NHL also will realize that they will get an improvement on the deal that they already have. And the deal they already have gives them cost certainty.
Without the last lockout, there would be no DobberHockey. Should we be thankful? (Uh…no comment)
When the season was announced as cancelled that fateful January, The Hockey News was forced to lay off several of their staff, including their webmaster. So Adam Proteau, a writer there, was given the added duties of posting the work of the web writers (i.e. myself). Well, he couldn't figure out how to get my rankings up in neat chart form, so I created a little webpage and put them up myself - and he linked to it through my columns. That 'little webpage' grew into what you see here.
Players who have signed contracts to play in Europe, so far (that I know of): Evgeni Malkin, Sergei Gonchar, Jiri Hudler, Ondrej Pavelec, Pavel Datsyuk, Jussi Jokinen, Jaromir Jagr, Pavel Kubina (that one may be for the full year, not sure), Tomas Plekanec, Ruslan Fedotenko, Alexei Ponikarovsky, Andrei Kostitsyn (that one is for the full year).
Rumored players probably on the way: Hemsky, Krejci, Fleischmann, Berglund, Backlund, Stastny, Kopitar, Yakupov
Is there a KHL package I can buy, Mr. Canadian TV Exec?
I know there is an AHL package I can buy, check out some of these names in the AHL now:
Braden Holtby, Dmitry Orlov, Vladimir Tarasenko (may go to KHL), Jaden Schwartz, Nino Niederreiter, Kevin Poulin, Kirill Kabanov, Travis Hamonic, Gabriel Bourque, Ryan Ellis, Jack Maclellan, Mikael Granlund, Johan Larsson, Charlie Coyle, Marco Scandella, Jonas Brodin, Andrei Loktionov, Slava Voynov, Gustav Nyquist, Damien Brunner, Cody Eakin, John Moore, Ryan Johansen, Cam Atkinson, Sven Bärtschi, Brayden McNabb, Cody Hodgson, Zemgus Girgensons, Marcus Foligno, Luke Adam, Sami Vatanen, Devante Smith-Pelly, Emerson Etem, Alexander Burmistrov, Jake Gardiner, Simon Despres, Michael Stone, David Rundblad, Brandon Gormley, Oliver Ekman-Larsson (Yeah, Portland is going to be sick on the blue line. Ridiculous talent), Sean Couturier, Adam Henrique, Jacob Josefson, Adam Larsson, Mattias Tedenby, Jordan Eberle, Teemu Hartikainen, Ryan Nugent-Hopkins, Justin Schultz, Magnus Paajarvi, Brandon Saad, Andrew Shaw, Jeremy Welsh and Jeff Skinner.
As noted - Phoenix's farm team (Portland) is going to have better D than some NHL teams. Other thoughts:
Edmonton's farm team (Oklahoma City) is almost as good as Edmonton will be. It's pretty much the Oilers minus goaltending, Whitney, Hemsky, Horcoff, Smyth and Yakupov.
Minnesota's farm team (Houston) may be the best of them all - with studs on the ice in front of a stud goaltender (Matt Hackett), I'll be watching as many of their games as I can.
I made Jack Maclellan notable because he was a top college player last season. He sighed with Nashville and stayed with the big club, but never got into a game. So we have no idea how he does as a pro, because he's never played pro hockey.
Those players who have had a tough go of it while being a little rushed to the NHL can now reboot in the AHL. If this lasts longer than two months, this will be very good for these players. I'm talking about Niederreiter, Paajarvi, Burmistrov, Johansen, Tedenby and Larsson. If the lockout lasts two months, I predict that at least two of these players will make an immediate splash in the NHL when they return.
And then there is the junior circuit - no longer losing studs to the NHL, much as it was in 2004 when Corey Perry led the London Knights to the Memorial Cup. Teammates included Dave Bolland, Brandon Prust, Dan Girardi, Marc Methot and several potential prospects who fell short of expectation - Rob Schremp, Dan Fritsche, Danny Syvret and Bryan Rodney. The quality of all three leagues improve for sure.
Pittsburgh prospect Nick Petersen was given his unconditional release late last week. He was a dominant QMJHL player and again in the ECHL, but his impact at the AHL level was average at best.
Dumb deal - Evander Kane for over $5 million per season for six seasons. Here's a guy whose career high is 57 points, but more importantly - his career high is 74 games. They consider him the face of the franchise - I'm afraid that by 2014, Blake Wheeler and Mark Scheifele will beg to differ.
Gates here - my rotisserie mailbag is now open. Have a burning roto based question? Ask away.
Here is the party line of the NHL - boils down to three messages.
• The players are willing to play and negotiate at the same time
• The players have conceded salary growth
• The players want their concessions to help small-market teams survive, not help the rich teams get richer
The players have this message for you regarding the lockout:

Some choice quotes from an anonymous GM:
"Let 'em go," howled the executive, instantly recognizable to all hockey fans but requesting – as he must – anonymity. "The players think they are threatening the owners by signing contracts in Europe. In fact, what they're showing is they don't have a lot of stomach to remain together in this fight. And that's what we expected."
When asked – albeit rhetorically – what edge the players might have in this dispute, the executive replied, "None. We took away all of their leverage by canceling the playoffs in 2005. And, we'll do it again, if we have to."

Last year, the Dodgers had Greg Maddux… you know, like one of the top 10 greatest pitchers in history, to tutor such young pitching talent as Chad Billingsley and Jonathan Broxton. This year?
From yesterday's L.A. Times…
[Roberto] Hernandez says he is doing what he can to pass along his share of knowledge, and he's been pleased to find willing pupils in Jonathan Broxton and Chad Billingsley. They talk daily, with Hernandez asking them why they threw certain pitches in certain situations and offering alternatives.
I don't know, maybe it's me, but letting Roberto Hernandez give pitching advice these days is kinda like taking real estate advice from a homeless person. Or trusting Michael Jackson to babysit your kids thinking it will just be milk and cookies. Or starting "The Brett Tomko Pitching Clinic." Or leaving your dog with Michael Vi… oh, forget it, you get the idea. In other words, he sucks.
Stay far away from him, Chad and Jonathan. FAR away.
And Roberto: while you were good about eleventy hundred thousand years ago, worry about finding alternatives to your own pitches, as you dash around with that 6.23 ERA.
For crying out loud, he's so old now, he can't even stay awake on the mound…

This OO gauge model includes a combined brake system, but is also available with either a single brake or two independent brakes. For more details on the different brake configurations see this discussion.
The wagon can be painted using most common modelling paints (I use a mixture of Humbrol and Tamiya acrylics) and a range of appropriate detailing transfers are available from Modelmaster.
To complete the wagon you will need to add wheels and couplings. The wagon was designed to take 12.6mm wheels from Hornby, specifically R8098. The model includes NEM pockets so you are free to choose your favourite NEM compatible couplings, personally I use the R8219 couplings from Hornby.

Slow-Cooked Beef Vegetable Soup Recipe
- 1 pound ground turkey or beef
- 1 can (46 ounces) tomato juice
- 1 package (16 ounces) frozen mixed vegetables, thawed
- 2 cups frozen cubed hash brown potatoes, thawed
- 1 envelope onion soup mix
- In a large skillet, cook beef over medium heat until no longer pink; drain. Transfer to a 5-qt. slow cooker. Stir in the tomato juice, mixed vegetables, potatoes and soup mix.
- Cover and cook on low for 8-10 hours or until heated through. Yield: 10 servings (2-1/2 quarts).
Reviews for Slow-Cooked Beef Vegetable Soup(7)
Sort By :
Frozen MIXED veggies just don't cut it in my book...fresh sliced carrots, fresh or frozen green beans, frozen corn or peas(separate) taste much better. Sauteed onions, celery and mushrooms would add so much more to this soup.
Really disappointed here. Just not my thing, I guess. Very little taste. Won't make it again.
I would think that adding the veggies and potatoes in the frozen state would lower the temp of the ingredients in the crock pot and it would take longer to bring the whole pot up to proper cooking temperature. I haven't made this as yet but plan to use it when we have a busy day, my rating reflects my opinion on the ease of the recipe.
Actually, I don't know why you would even need a slow cooker for this recipe. It could be cooked on stove top in minutes.
Sounds good, but I wonder if you can use other ground meat like chicken or turkey.

OK, so it's kind of a contradiction for a sangria, which is named for its blood-red color, to be made with white wine, but once you've tasted this festive thirst quencher it won't matter a bit. Pieces of mixed summer melons are the perfect match for a crisp Sauvignon Blanc.

CBS says the colorful, outspoken Christie will make his first appearance with Letterman on Monday.
The guest shot follows numerous jokes by Letterman at the expense of Christie and his ample girth.
Christie termed his plumpness "fair game" for comedians at a 2011 news conference. But maybe he'll arrive for "Late Show" with some droll observations of his own to target Letterman.
"Late Show" airs on CBS at 11:35 p.m. EST.

The Ion2 is the largest diameter rope in the fusion range. It's unique design is manufactured by first twisting multiple colored fibers into a single sheath-strand and then braiding the sheath to create the speckled pattern. It's diameter is a great size for intermediate climbers looking to match a lightweight rope with performance while knowing that the diameter isn't TOO thin for a beginner belayer.
When getting ready to rappel or hanking your rope back up after the climb, fighting to find the middle of your rope can be a tedious task. The BiColor version of the Ion2 takes the guess work out by offering a bright change in color half way down the rope.

In business, nothing speeds forgiveness like success. Citigroup cranked out a record $4.1 billion in earnings from continuing operations in the first quarter of this year, and followed it with $4.3 billion the following quarter. That performance moved investors, who had driven the stock price down to $24.42 last summer as a result of Citigroup's repeat appearances in financial scandals, to nearly double it by mid-October.
But forgiveness didn't come without some very public penance for the financial-services giant. In April, the firm's Salomon Smith Barney division (now called Citigroup Global Markets) forked over $300 million in fines plus $100 million in additional restitution as part of the so-called global settlement with regulators over misleading research. As employer of the poster child for conflicted research—telecommunications analyst Jack Grubman—Citigroup's fines were the largest of any financial institution (see "The Global Settlement" at the end of this article).
Critics will note that the fines amount to less than a week's worth of earnings so far this year. Somewhat harder to dismiss are public expressions of regret by Citigroup executives—particularly given the number of still-looming shareholder suits—and the firm's laundry list of internal reforms (see "New Leaf or Fig Leaf?" at the end of this article). Prudential Equity Group's Mike Mayo derided some of those reforms last year as "just-in-time corporate governance," but even that notoriously bearish analyst had to bow to Citigroup's financial performance, upgrading the firm from "sell" to "hold" this past July. That same month, Citigroup settled enforcement proceedings with the Securities and Exchange Commission over structured financings for Enron and Dynegy, earning a curt acknowledgement for its cooperation.
CFO Todd Thomson insists Citigroup isn't just playing catch-up when it comes to reform—he claims it's now trying to use its enormous market presence to lead the way. And that includes setting some standards for what it will and won't do for its corporate customers.
"Anything Citigroup can do to show leadership in regaining trust with investors we should do," says the 42-year-old Thomson. That includes obvious corporate moves such as expensing options (despite his historical opinion that the accounting treatment is incorrect) and raising Citigroup's dividend by 75 percent.
When it comes to actually turning over a new leaf, of course, results are harder to gauge. The true test of Citigroup's reforms will be its ability to remain scandal-free despite its staggering breadth of financial offerings and sprawling global operations.
When it comes to his own finance organization, which spreads across more than 100 countries, Thomson, who took over as CFO in March 2000, shuffles finance executives around the world to make sure their ultimate allegiance is to his office in New York, not their local business unit. "I want to establish—and have established—a culture of integrity in the finance organization," he says. "That happens only if I'm viewed as having personal integrity."
At the very least, one can certainly say Thomson puts his money where his mouth is. Under Citigroup's so-called blood oath, executives must hold at least 75 percent of Citigroup shares they receive. "I have never sold a share yet," says Thomson. "One-hundred percent of my net worth is in Citigroup stock."

I'm using a Windows 7 icore7 machine. The file I'm working on is composed of six layers: 1) a masked Levels layer; 2) a masked Noise layer; 3) a masked Hipass layer; 4) a convert to BW layer; 5) a copy of the background layer; 6) the background layer. All the eyes on the layers are ON.
When I Flatten Image the contrasty look I've created with the Levels adjustment layer AND with the Hipass layer disappears and the flattened image no longer exhibits those qualities - in other words it reverts back to being soft, low contrast.
All the eyes are ON.
I tried various combinations of MERGE VISIBLE and the same thing happens.
I swapped Hipass for Unsharp Mask and for Smart Sharpen and even more weirdness happens - These filters have no effect at all.
Short of a re-install, what can I do?
Charles O. Slavens
Do you see the same thing if you are looking at the image at 100% zoom?
Have you checked the web site of the maker of your video card to see if they have released an updated display driver for your hardware and operating system?
Please note the entire explanation at the bottom.
Now that I've installed this new driver my Nik Silver effects Pro will not convert a color image to B&W.
http://us.download.nvidia.com/Windows/296.10/296.10-desktop-win7-winvi sta-64bit-english-whql.exe
Geforce g210
The low contrast still exists any magnification.
Blimey! I'm not so sure it's a good idea linking to exe files on this foorum.
Noel is making a good point regarding viewing at 100%, but there a definitely times when flaterning the layer stack leads to unexpected results. The workaround is to add a Copy Merged Layers layer to the top of the stack before flaterning. (Shift Ctrl Alt e)
Trevor.Dennis wrote:

I'm wondering how... Incomplete transparency all the way through, perhaps? Bottom layer over transparency using something other than Normal blending?
Perhaps it would be good to get into specifics here... What, exactly, does your Layers panel look like before the flatten operation, oslavens?
Ideally, could you crop a small part of your document and save it as a relatively small PSD file, then share it here? We could use that to both try to reproduce the problem elsewhere, and (assuming we can) examine it to see what's up. I know that with such an example in hand I could tell you why it's happening, as I'm sure could others here.
Noel, it is no doubt lazy of me, but I tend to take a 'black box' attitude, and use the workaround and get on with stuff, but I have just had a quick seach:
http://en.allexperts.com/q/Adobe-Photoshop-1028/2008/3/Merge-layers-lo sing-effects.htm
BTW Thanks for fixing my typo. I am definitely pants with a keyboard!
I tried to send the layered files via www.yousendit.com . However, the above address is rejected as invalid.
Do you have a less complex email address.
I greatly appreciate the time you're taking to assist me in tracking down this very frustrating problem. This entire project has ground to a halt.
Another quirky little thing that seems to be happening is that it's only the MASKED part of the image that changes.
Throughout the entire process I use positive and negative masks to control the foreground and the background separately. I start with the color image, in addition to the BACKGROUND layer and a COPY layer, I have two LEVELS masks, two HUE/SAT masks, a SHARPENING mask for the foreground, and a NOISE mask for the background. This is a standard workflow that I've been using in various combinations for years. When I flatten the COLOR layers the change in contrast does not take place.
This series of photos that I'm working on at the moment requires a conversion to BW. So the next step is flattening of the color layers and converting to BW. Here again I use a combination of masks to control various elements of the image.
The loss of contrast only happens when I flatten after converting to BW... and it doesn't matter if the conversion is done in Nik, or in Photoshop.
When flatten the color layers
Thanks.... Charles O. Slavens
The low contrast still exists any magnification.
Just to make sure: You are viewing at 100% before flattening and on flattening the appearance changes?
I had the same problem six years ago and addressed it to the Forum and was told it was a problem with not viewing at 100%. However, when I made a print of the unflattenned and then the flattenned print, there were definite differences of loss of shadow details and other subtle differences which lead me to believe that there was a real difference in some images between unflattenned and flattenned. Try printing a flattenned and unflattenned version of the image.
Send it to your own eMail address when using YouSendIt, then put the URL here.
Something to try, oslavens, is to create a 100% opaque white background layer at the very bottom (assuming you don't already have an opaque bottom layer), and see if the problem is alleviated when the image is flattened.
Viewing at 100% does not change the effect caused by flattening - loss of contrast. An odd twist is that only that part of the image that is revealed by a mask is effected by this change.
I'd be happy to send the layered files of both the color (no problems here) image and the BW layered image where the low contrast effect does take place.
I tried uploading the files (240mb each) to www.yousendit.com but your email address seems to be too complicated for their program. Do you have a less complex email address? If so I'll send them immediately.
I tried your suggestion - created an empty layer and filled with black (also tried white). In addition I moved the layer up and down the stack with no change in results. The portion of the image revealed by the mask is where the low contrast change takes place.

thanks for taking the time to consider my dilemma.... Charles O. Slavens
Could you please post two screenshots (before and after) at 100% view with Layers Panel visible on this Forum?
Here's a print screen of the flattened and unflattened files. Hope this help you see the problem. Only the revealed part of the mask is effected by the loss of contrast when the files is flattened....
Thanks.... chas.

These files will never be printed. It's just for web distribution. Attached are some screen shots. You'll notice that it's only the revealed portion of the mask that loses contrast.
Something new every day....
charles o. slavens
Waaaaaaaaaaa? You cannot examine a photo at 100%. At 100% you can only see a small portion of the entire image. These photos will never be printed, they are for web distribution ONLY.
I put the UNflattened, layered file through the SAVE FOR WEB process. Please notice the attached image. The contrast is missing from the revealed portion of the masked layer.
This is a phenomenon that has recently arisen. I've been using this work flow for YEARS! And NOW I can't flatten an image and retain the adjustment layer effects.
Something is happening that I can't control.
Problem not solved so far...... thanks for your time... please don't give up on me!
oslavens, I don't see any images and files attached in any of your posts. If you can't examine and see an entire image intended for web usage at 100% zoom, then the question is what kind of screen are you using - it should very small in comparison ot the monitors of the intended web users. If you have an average size monitor and you can't see the entire image at 100% zoom then probably no one on the web will see it either unless the image is resized by the web program which naturally will remove detail information and can indeed loose contrast.
Hmmmmmm ..... I just examined all of my sent items and all but one of my returns to you guys has images attached. Another cyber mystery.
Regarding your definition of "100%".... There must be a discrepancy in TERMS here. I'm using two 17 inch screens with a dual head video card and I normally view the image on one screen while the 2nd screen shows my layers, tools, and adjustments. If I magnify an image to 100% I can only see part of the image. Yes, you are correct - If I raise the magnification to 100% and flatten there is no APPARENT CHANGE in contrast... BUT... when I reduce it to full screen size the contrast disappears and I'm back to the original problem. The exercise of enlarging to 100% seems kinda pointless if the REAL result is still a loss in contrast.
Please note the attached examples of the low contrast shift.
Thanks for your continued help on this matter. Please understand, I've been using this workflow for years with consistent results, but now I'm absolutely at a stand-still on this project because I can't save flattened images that retain contrast..... charles o. slavens
Images attached to emails are useless on this Forum.
»If I raise the magnification to 100% and flatten there is no APPARENT CHANGE in contrast...«
Now you finally state it … it has been asked several time!
Views of other than Actual Pixels mean that Layer Masks and the other Layers are interpolated and therefore the result can differ.
I gotta say, I'm a little flummoxed here. We're talking discussing a VISUAL medium and you're saying that I can't send visuals to demonstrate my problem? Would you like me to post the image on PICASA? I think it's important that you are able to see what I'm taking about.
The key word here is APPARENT. Yes, you are correct - If I raise the magnification to 100% and flatten (while still at 100%) there is no APPARENT change in contrast... BUT... when I reduce it to normal full screen size the contrast disappears and I'm back to the original problem.... no contrast. The exercise of enlarging to 100% seems kinda pointless if the REAL result is still a loss in contrast.
And oh.... just a little note here... this change in contrast ONLY occurs in the REVEALED portion of the mask.
And, I'd like to re-state - I've been using this workflow pattern for years with consistent results. This is a recent phenomenon and it has absolutely stopped me in my tracks.
You can post images on the Forum in the browser (with the camera icon), but not via email replies.
The previews are derived at from the interpolated elements (so for example a layer with only pure black and white may develop intermediate tones that are then affected by Adjustment Layers that dio not affect the actual pixels); any preview size other (at least bigger) than actual pixels can differ from the actual result therefore.
If the workflow has worked for you so far without noticing that it seems likely that this image differs significantly from the ones you usually edited.
I'm sorry about the missing attached images, I had no idea that you couldn't attach images to the emails. I'll go to the Forum browser and do that. Regarding the appearance of the "preview" image..... I'm not sure what you mean by "preview". I make adjustments on my photos based upon what I see in my layered image. When I flatten it I expect it to retain all the corrections that I've worked so hard to achieve. Are you telling me that I should ignore the appearance of the flattened image and proceed to print?
I'll print some of those images today just to see if what you say is correct. HOWEVER.... as I've stated previously... print is not the intended use here and the images which I'm generating DO retain the lack of contrast problem that I'm trying to find the solution for. Regardless, how can I expect to make correct creative decisions as I proceed to work on the image if the image does not reflect the sum of all my efforts? You're saying... 'just ignore what it looks like and plunge forward?'
I'm not sure what you mean by "preview".
When Photoshop displays the effect multiple (Adjustment) Layers have on each other it does not actually calculate a flattened resulting image in full res and downsamples that to the magnification you view at, but performs those operations with the resampled elements, so it is a preview.
Edit: The issue applies to Layer Masks and Layers alike.
Are you telling me that I should ignore the appearance of the flattened image and proceed to print?
Others and I are telling you that any preview other than Actual Pixels is not reliable, so what you think you have achieved you may not have achieved at all so long as you don't see it at Actual Pixels-view.
I'd be happy to post screen shots that demonstrate what we're discussing. I've examined every square inch of the Forum screen and I failed to find the "camera icon". I have:
compatibility view button
command bar
status bar
ask took bar
address bar
I'm I nuts?... blind?... or what?
Well, I'm lucky... I learn something every day.
But I gotta say... I've been using PS since about 2000 and what I see on my screen and what I'm sending out seem pretty much the same to me. I don't think what I'm doing today differs from what I did last week when I didn't have this problem.
Also... I want to reiterate.. this ONLY occurs on the REVEALED portion of the layered image.
If I could find the "CAMERA" button on for Forum screen I'd send some PRINTSCREEN examples. Please give me a hint where it is, cuz I've examined the screen from top to bottom
Please hang in there... and... thanx...
There is a screenshot in my last post – please visit the Forum with your browser.
A link to your image is contained in the e-mail from the forum to the rest of us and shows the camera icon on the forum-post entry box toolbar highlighted in dark red.
Thanks... I will proceed.... chas.
This link opens in LIVEMAIL which I'm not using. Is there another link for those of us who are not using this email client?.... thanx
This is basically how you make images intended for viewing on the web.
First find out what is the average pixel count size of the monitors of your intended viewers. This is a link to a web site that can give you a clue for the general trends http://www.w3schools.com/browsers/browsers_display.asp and if you are interested in specific group and web sites you can use tools like this http://www.tastyplacement.com/monitor-size-statistics-for-web-design-html . After you know the average pixel count size of the monitors of the intended viewers then you can decide how large as pixel count you want your images to appear in that space. You have to make this decision by viewing your images at 100% zoom. At 100% zoom one pixel of your image fits into one pixel of your monitor. When you zoom out less then 100%, a group of pixels from the image will be represented using their average color with one monitor pixel and this causes loss of detail and changed image appearance like the one you are experiencing. When you zoom in more than 100%, one pixel from the image will occupy a group of monitor's pixels and this will give enlarged pixel appearance (steps like effect) jaggies. Web browsers by default display images at 100%. If your images are for a web site that is yet to be designed, and you are one of the design decision makers, create a new Photoshop document with a pixel count that is the average pixel count size of the monitors of your intended viewers and having in mind the other elements of the web page, decide the amount of space your images will be occupy in the overall design. If your images are going to appear on existing web site/s. Visit the site and make a screen capture of your screen, go back in Photoshop, choose to create a new document which automatically is set to the the pixel count of the content on your clipboard, and after that paste the screen capture. Then create or scale down your images to fit in the desired space. Again, the final effect will be what you view at 100% zoom. With all that said, have in mind that if your images are going to be posted on certain web site like this Adobe forum - images posted here are displayed in the messages as previews with certain size limit. Images larger than this limit will be scaled down automatically by the site but if you click on the preview image, it will show the full size as it appears at 100% zoom in Photoshop. You have to check how your images will be treated on the web sites you plan to use and then you can create them with the optimal pixel count size.
Another thing that you also have to be aware is that you don't have control over the physical size of your images because different monitors and display devices have different size pixels and this will make an image with the same pixel count displayed with the same zoom to appear at different physical sizes on the various monitor models and devices such as smart phones.
These are screen shot examples of the flattened image loss of contrast problem.... thanx for your time'

Wild Atlantic salmon, like the bison of the western Plains and the salmon of the Pacific Northwest, are a defining element of their environment. For centuries, native peoples from the Connecticut River to Ungava Bay depended upon the annual runs of Atlantic salmon for food, ceremony and custom. Lucrative commercial and recreational fisheries built on salmon sustained vibrant coastal and river economies.
Salmon were once so numerous, woodsmen in the lumber camps of New England and Atlantic Canada often complained that they had to eat salmon several times a week. Nicholas Denys, a 17th century French governor of what are now the Provinces of Maritime Canada, compared the great numbers of Atlantic salmon in the Miramichi River to that of the then-plentiful but now-extinct passenger pigeon. "If the pigeons plagued us by their abundance the salmon gave us even more trouble. So large a quantity of them enters into this river that at night one is unable to sleep, so great is the noise they make in falling upon the water after having thrown or darted themselves into the air."
But centuries of mismanagement, destruction of spawning habitat, polluting of rivers and the building of dams forced our once-abundant Atlantic salmon runs into a steady downward spiral. By the late 1990s, wild Atlantic salmon were at or near all-time lows throughout much of their historic range. In North America, wild Atlantic salmon populations dropped 70 percent, from 1.6 million spawning adults in the early 1970s to fewer than 400,000 by 1998.
Nowhere has the decline been more severe than in Maine, home to the last remaining wild runs of Atlantic salmon in the United States. In 2000, in a move that should have been taken a decade earlier, the U.S. government, heeding calls from conservationists, finally listed the few wild salmon still returning to several little rivers in Downeast Maine as endangered. A few years ago it would have been all too easy to write off the Atlantic salmon in the United States. But today there is renewed hope for their restoration. Growing numbers of Atlantic salmon advocates are beginning to turn the tide, their resilience and tenacity matched only by that of the salmon itself. The brightest example of this growing optimism is focused on Maine's Penobscot River, where a coalition of conservation groups, the Penobscot Indian Nation, state and federal agencies and dam owners is committed to restoring the state's largest river to health.

2425 Kildaire Farm Rd Ste 501, Cary, NC | Directions 2751135.728294 -78.776605
I am and have been a client for 7 years. Betty and her staff are wonderful. They are knowledgeable and really care about their clients. I have had several services at the Spa and the massage is the best I've ever had. Also, I will ONLY go to see Betty for my eyebrow waxes and facials. She is wonderful and highly skilled. I highly recommend them!
I have been going to B Roman for over five years and have had a variety of services throughout this time. Betty and her staff have always been welcoming and professional. I drive one hour each way and will continue to do so and would recommend B Roman to anyone!
I have been a client of Betty's for over 16 years, and would never go anywhere else for a bikini wax! She is professional, and knows how to wax sensitive skin such as mine. I made the mistake ONCE of having someone else perform my bikini wax, and left bruised and with a horrible rash!! Betty and her staff are professionals, and well established long time merchants of the Cary area.
Laura A.
I am a long time (over 15 years) client of B Roman Skin and Body Therapy. The experience I have is wonderful each time I go. Betty uses only the highest quality products and techniques to provide state of the art skin care, while providing the relaxation and rejuvenation needed for an elegant spa experience. I would never consider any other skin care/spa service provider. I lead a busy hectic life and my treatments there leave me feeling relaxed, refreshed and my skin glowing!
Best Skin Care in the Triangle – Roman skin and Body Care is the place to be if you want to receive exceptional skin care.
I have been going there for years and the staff has always been professional and friendly.
Betty is very professional and very through. I have sensitive skin and she has made my skin glowing.
She gives a wonderful facial and is very knowlegeable on all the products. I highly recommend her to everyone.
I leave there feeling beautiful and with a sense of well being. Everyone should have this experience. Can't say enough!!.
Poor customer service! – When I arrived, the receptionist was on the phone with her boss. Instead of greeting me, and delaying her call, she continued to run down the entire day's list of clients. AND, she commented negatively on one in particular, making snide remarks! Only when I made a motion to walk out the front door did she cut her phone call short. Unfortunately the experience went down from there. The "spa" manicure and pedicure ($100) was marred twice before I even left the spa, and I ended up removing the polish from my toes myself before my big evening. It was far from luxurious....nothing special at all and in fact somewhat rushed despite the fact that I was the only person in the entire spa at the time. The manicurist was chatty, pleasant, but inattentive to details. I have patronized the less expensive walk-in nail salons with much better success. I won't be returning, nor will I purchase gift certificates for friends from this establishment. I honestly don't know how they stay in business.
AMAZING Massage!!! – I had my first massage ever, with Ester. I was a bit nervous because I didn't know what to expect. She was SO friendly, she put me at ease right away. She answered all my questions, without making me feel silly for asking them. She explained to me what she was doing, and how the my muscles would respond.
I have had pain in my neck and shoulders for years, and a constant headache going on 3 weeks. After this one appointment, my headache is gone and I can turn my head much farther than I could when I came in! My neck and shoulders feel incredible. I will be back and I will tell everyone I know to visit!
Thank you so much!
Great Massage – My massage at B Roman was like a dream! The staff was very friendly and treated their clients with respect. I will definitely be back again!
AN EXCEPTIONAL MASSAGE!! – This is the first time that I have rated a business on this site, but I felt compelled after receiving truly the best massage ever from Wendy at B Roman Skin and Body Spa. My appointment was rather last minute, but they were able to fit me in. She spent time to discuss my expectations and needs that I had and was able to address my issues better than I could have anticipated. I have suffered from migraines and neck & shoulder tension for such a long time that I felt like some relief might be possible, but never thought that I could feel as good as I did following the massage. I feel she totally customized the massage just for me! You can tell that Wendy loves her work and cares for her patients. I will recommend her to neighbors and friends and now to all of you as well.
Nice Spa, but Poor Customer Service – I made a first time waxing appointment at B. Roman's. When I arrived, the receptionist told me I didn't have an appointment and called the other location to see if I had made an appointment at the wrong place. After a few minutes of going back and forth, she finally discovered that my appointment had been made under another client's name. Finally, almost 20 minutes after my appointment time, she takes me back to meet the esthetician. While I was aggravated about the circumstances, I appreciate the receptionist's kindness throughout the ordeal. She attempted to resolve the situation the best way she could. She apologized profusely for the mix up. However, when I met the esthetician, she seemed annoyed by the circumstance and acted as if it was my fault. She was very negative and unfriendly while performing the service, telling me how the previous waxer did such a poor job and she would need months to undo the mess. I felt the appointment was very rushed because the confusion at the front desk had caused a back up of clients, since waxing appointments were scheduled every 15 mintues.
Apart from the lacking customer service skills, I was fairly pleased with the wax job. My main complaint was that she did not tweeze the short hairs left behind when waxing my brows. So, I had to tweeze them whenever I got home. The shape of my brows were exactly what I wanted, and I do believe that she is an experienced and capable esthetician. I simply wish that the services I was paying for were not cut short because of a front desk mix up. Maybe they should allow more time between appointments to allow more flexibility.

We usually think of politics in two ways: as the "big-P" politics of campaigns and referendums -- noisy, zero-sum contests that get lots of public attention -- and the "small-P" politics of gaining approval for policies and projects. These are the non-zero-sum contests of compromise and tradeoffs that revolve around regulatory approvals, planning board and city council votes, and the occasional state law.
But there's a third version, a kind of meta-politics that's critical to progress but rarely gets noticed. It's the politics of public opinion. How important is public opinion? Listen to Abraham Lincoln: "With public sentiment," Lincoln said, "nothing can fail; without it, nothing can succeed. Consequently he who molds public sentiment goes deeper than he who enacts statutes or pronounces decisions."
For a long time, we've assumed that supplemental appropriations -- the provision of additional money made partway through the budget year when the approved budget fails to meet expenses -- were a sign of imprecise budgeting, potentially due to purposefully understated expenditures. But we've spent some time lately looking into the topic and have begun to recognize that there are lots of reasons why supplemental allocations can be unavoidable (like the remarkable deluge of snow this year). Moreover, apparently some entities use supplementals as a conservative way of budgeting, leaving some available cash out of the budget that will only be spent if necessary. We'd welcome thoughts on the topic. Does your entity use lots of supplemental appropriations during the fiscal year? And if so, are the supplementals being used for good reasons?
It's bad enough when cities, counties and states forgo soliciting public input when making significant plans that can potentially change the lives of citizens. But what do you think of a state that opens a 30-day public comment period for a plan a week after the plan was already finished and sent in to the federal agency that needed to approve it?
A Congressional Budget Office report issued in late March includes a rather surprising revelation: With the exception of the Affordable Care Act and another law affecting child nutrition passed in 2010, Congress has not passed any significant bill imposing unfunded mandates on state, local or tribal governments since 2008.
When the Unfunded Mandates Reform Act (UMRA) was passed in 1995, the problem was considered so important that the bill that became this law was the first to be introduced in the new Republican-controlled House after that party took over Congress for the first time in 40 years. The reason? Republicans desperately wanted to amend the Constitution to require a balanced federal budget, but states and localities raised concerns that the federal budget might be balanced simply by passing responsibilities -- and costs -- down to state and local governments.
Do we learn more from success or failure? When it comes to state- and local-government pensions, we tend to focus on the plans that are struggling. But there are valuable lessons to learn from public-sector retirement plans that have remained well funded and from governments that have successfully negotiated changes to put their pension systems on a path to full funding.
Well funded in Illinois: Given all the headlines about Illinois' seemingly endless struggle to reform its pensions, some might be surprised to learn that that the Illinois Municipal Retirement Fund (IMRF), the state's second-largest public pension, is a model of fiscal responsibility.
Data is the foundation of a wide range of analysis that's important to cities, counties and states. But beware when the data are self-reported. Here's an example:
Apparently when the National Survey on Drug Use and Health (NSDUH) puts together its annual paper about frequency of drug use, the data is self-reported. This seems to work pretty well when it comes to marijuana. But, according to a recent study by the RAND Corporation, respondents are far less likely to tell the truth when self-reporting about their use of other drugs, notably heroin.
