Microsoft hit with patent suit over update tech
The software maker is being sued by BackWeb Technologies, which says Microsoft's automatic updating mechanism infringes on its technology.
Microsoft is facing another patent infringement suit, this time over the technology it uses to automatically update Windows, Office, and other programs.
In a lawsuit filed March 20, BackWeb Technologies charges that Microsoft's Background Intelligent Transfer Service (BITS), as well as Windows Update and other products, infringe four of BackWeb's patents. BackWeb, which is based in Israel and has U.S. offices in San Jose, Calif., filed the complaint in U.S. District Court in San Francisco.
BackWeb seeks, among other things, an injunction against Microsoft, a declaration that BackWeb's patents are valid, and monetary damages.
A Microsoft representative said the company has yet to be served with court papers, so it would be "premature" to comment.
BackWeb was an early leader in the technology for "pushing" data onto a computer.
The full lawsuit is posted as a PDF file on BackWeb's site.

By Greg Grisolano
MIAMI, Okla. — Members of the Harvard School of Public Health are in Miami sampling homes and soil for heavy-metal contamination that may have been left behind by flooding earlier this month.
"We have brought in some top-notch scientists to find out if there is a problem," said Earl Hatley, a designated Grand Riverkeeper and a member of Local Environmental Action Demanded, a nonprofit environmental group.
"We brought in $100,000 worth of equipment and some of these scientists to answer these questions for the community."
The scientists are collecting dust and soil samples from homes and yards. They are looking for a full range of heavy metals, byproducts of runoff from chat piles and other mine wastes that cover much of the landscape in Northeast Oklahoma. Of particular concern will be lead, zinc, cadmium and manganese.
"Tar Creek itself drains heavy metals into the Neosho River, so when it floods, it is reasonable to suspect the metals go out in the flooded areas," Hatley said.
More than 600 homes in Miami and 100 outside the city limits were damaged or destroyed when the Neosho River pushed out of its banks in the first week of this month.
Jim Shine, associate professor of aquatic chemistry at the Harvard School of Public Health, is coordinating the Miami effort, which is part of a larger study funded by the Environmental Protection Agency and the National Institute of Health Sciences.
"We're going north and south," Shine said. "We've even been past the 22nd Street bridge, so we've been up past where there's no evidence of flooding. We take sediment profiles and surface soil samples moving away from the creek. By measuring the concentrations (of the metals) we can determine where it came from."
Shine said the flood provides an opportunity to see how disasters are affecting the spread of hazardous mine waste from the Tar Creek Superfund Site.
"Metals are migrating off the site," he said. "It's a matter of how fast and by what mechanism."
Members of Shine's group were in Miami in mid-May to test for metals in flood-plain soils, looking at how metals migrated from Tar Creek and into yards and homes in that area. Now, they're back again.
"We've revisited the exact same sites," he said. "We can see that layer of new sediment that's been deposited."
While Shine said it's too soon to know the results of the survey, preliminary results haven't given cause for alarm.
"So far, the levels are low enough not to be of any imminent concern," he said. "That's a good thing. But again, the larger issue is we want to understand how do things migrate away from mining sites."
Hatley said the Harvard School of Public Health also is studying the effects of heavy metals on mothers and their newborns.
"We're finding, for the most part, that children are born lead-free in this area," Hatley said. "We're thinking exposure comes when they're toddlers, crawling around the floor and playing in the yard. That exposure stays with you for life, because the metals absorb into your bone marrow."
Hatley and Shine said the contaminants ultimately end up in Grand Lake.
"I seriously think that Grand Lake is probably our largest chat pile," Hatley said. "When you think about it, the dam was completed in 1940, and the mining started in 1887. For all those years, they were pumping the mine waste directly into Tar Creek, and coring so far of Grand Lake shows there are heavy metals in the sediment."
Looking for answers
Earl Hatley said the health problems associated with exposure to heavy metals found in the Tar Creek Superfund Site include heart, renal and lung disease.
"One of the questions LEAD Agency asked when we started our door-to-door survey (of homes in Miami) was: Why are there so many kidney dialysis machines in a town of 9,000 people? It seemed kind of over the top."

Interesting day in the gym today. Well for background info I lift with my brother he weighs 215 and I weigh 210,he has a better lower body and I have a better upper body. Anyways I think both of us are decently strong and have decently good physiques for the amount of time we have been lifting (11months). We are now doing Westside. Well after doing board press we moved on to skullcrushers. After my brother had done a couple sets of 10 with 100 lbs. this guy decides he needs to come up and tell us we dont know how to lift, well he was actually talking to my brother and I overheard. First he asks how old my brother is and he told him he is 17. He then tells us skullcrushers are a stupid exercise and if we do them we need to do less weight. He then says to throw away our "stupid little boards contraption because we are big enough to spot ourselves" (whatever that means). He then tells us we should really take advice from him because he knows what hes doing and has been lifting many many years and that he can bench 315 and we should come in tuesday and watch. I dont know where he got off saying anything, I mean if he considers himself a bodybuilder or does lifting for aesthetic reasons he is an idiot, he said he weighs 165 (he was probably 20% bf). On the otherhand if he lifts for strength he is a weak little b*****. We just blew him off but man I would have loved to fight him. Does stuff like this happen to anyone else?

The pox upon my favorite month is the garbage known as political campaigning. Not that it suddenly emerges in October, but it does get ramped up these last few weeks before an election.
When Candidate X comes on TV to assure me that he, unlike Candidate Y, will deliver on this and that, I hit the mute button and lip-sync "blah, blah, blah"—no less meaningful than the actual words of Mr. X. After all, Mr. X has been in office for years and he hasn't delivered on "this and that" yet. Regardless, I'm instructed to distrust Mr. Y. In other words, garbage.
Campaign language is not about the promotion of a competent electorate, it's about the fluff of consumerism. No matter how much we may protest that we don't fall for flimsy campaign language, the spin doctors know otherwise, and they've known it for a lot longer than the term "spin doctor" has been around.
In 1840, William Henry Harrison propelled himself into the White House with unprecedented electioneering hoopla, framed around the slogan (and song) "Tippecanoe and Tyler Too" (cashing in on his exploits against the Indians at the Battle of Tippecanoe in 1811). The opposition, President Martin Van Buren, was depicted by the Harrison camp as a hoity-toity man of privilege who could not relate to the common folk — a sentiment reinforced with such ditties as "Old Tip, he wore a homespun coat, he had no ruffled shirt: wirt-wirt! / But Matt, he has the golden plate, and he's a little squirt: wirt-wirt!"
The amusing patter of the Harrison campaign was embraced by the public, despite the fact that Harrison himself had been born to a prominent and wealthy Virginia family. Truth and substance be damned, Harrison's tactics worked. His presidency was the briefest (he died just a month after his inauguration), but the landslide electoral vote of 1840 left one of the most enduring legacies of any presidential election in our history.
Indeed, political campaigning has been a matter of marketing ever since. Among the winning slogans to enter the lexicon of presidential races are Grover Cleveland's 1884 mantra "Blaine, Blaine, James G. Blaine, the continental liar from the state of Maine" (tell us how you really feel, Mr. Cleveland) and the 1916 chant from Woodrow Wilson's campaign, "He kept us out of war" (well, we know how that turned out). Warren Harding's 1920 tag line "Cox and Cocktails" was not an invitation to a party, but rather a snide comment on opponent James Cox, who was against Prohibition. (Ironically, Cox may well have maintained a temperate White House, while Harding's White House drinking bouts with his buddies were infamous). In 1928, Herbert Hoover promised "A chicken in every pot and a car in every garage" (not exactly an accurate foretelling of the imminent Great Depression).
Since the Whigs sang their paean to Tippecanoe in 1840, music also has been a part of our political language. Of the many songs that have waltzed our chief executives into the Oval Office, the more memorable ones include FDR's "Happy Days Are Here Again," Eisenhower's "I Like Ike," JFK's "High Hopes," and, most recently, Obama's "Yes, We Can."
Songs, slogans, catchphrases, sound bites — these are the emotional building blocks of a campaign — yet no matter which party is represented, the language comes out the same: garbage. I suppose I could just stop voting, but the truth is, I would crawl through jagged glass to get to a voting booth. Fortunately, I discovered Project Vote Smart about 10 years ago. Profoundly nonpartisan, PVS is my favorite election resource for facts, just facts. No opinions, no spin, no fluff. Language a voter can live by. (William Henry Harrison would have hated it.)

Let's Look At The Language
The language of electioneering sometimes catchy, but often garbage
The pox upon my favorite month is the garbage known as political campaigning. Not that it suddenly emerges in October, but it does get ramped up these last few weeks before an election.

'We'll take a cup o' kindness yet, for auld lang syne'
By Christine A. Lindberg A song that "owns" a particular day of the year is rare.
Here comes Santa Claus ... where'd he get that snazzy red suit?
Years ago, I had a book of letters written to Santa Claus, and I remember that, among all the messages of "bring me this," "bring me that," and "I'll leave you a plate of cookies," one little boy had written, "Dear Santa, Where did you get your snazzy red suit?" I wouldn't be surprised if the author of that question grew up to be either a reporter or a fashion consultant, but in any event, I hope he got an answer to his question.
Where do I plug in these Electric Prunes?
Those of us who make the family feasts of Thanksgiving and Christmas magically appear on the table know there's nothing magic about it.
The sometimes-cryptic language of company names
Cream cheese originated in 1872 as the result of William Lawrence's failure to duplicate the French cheese Neufchatel. By 1880, he knew his "accidental cheese" was good enough for distribution, so he packaged it in foil wrappers and called it Philadelphia Cream Cheese.
Humorist Will Rogers: One of the crown jewels in American language
Defined as "a humorous writer, performer or artist," a humorist could technically be anyone who makes you laugh, but my concept of a humorist is not nearly so broad
Not quite an 'Ode to Pepé Le Pew' after gross, stinky encounter
My previous column ended with the words "sweet dreams," which are nice if you can get 'em, but sometimes the occasion of slumber time is a few degrees short of sweet.
What will my dream-doctor say about this orgledream in my head?
I just read a snippet of folklore that tells me "a dream of grasshoppers means that something is confusing you."
Names of hurricanes don't match reality
When the storm named Irene barreled up into Edmeston four weeks ago, I didn't think I'd still be looking down upon the vestiges of her destruction from my upstairs windows.
Sometimes an unremarkable day is the one we should cherish the most
Ten years ago today, it was a summery Sept. 10 here in Central New York. The temperature hovered in the 80s and there was an occasional drizzle here and there.

'Where have you gone, Joe DiMaggio?' just not the same
When the Baltimore Orioles' third baseman took the field on May 30, 1982, not even Nostradamus could have foreseen that one of the most celebrated streaks in baseball was beginning at that very moment. The player was Cal Ripken Jr., whose 2,131st consecutive game on Sept. 6, 1995, surpassed Lou Gehrig's "unsurpassable" record.

Go ahead and have a rat on a stick, but please don't call it a lollipop
I recent read that this Tuesday is National Escargot Day. I was unable to find any compelling evidence that this is an official national day for any nation in particular, but it does seem that throughout the U.K. and North America, French restaurants have happily adopted the day as a time to celebrate their garlicky little mollusks.

"The formation of a word from a sound associated with what is named" is the New Oxford American Dictionary's definition of "onomatopoeia" (Ah-Nuh-mah-tuh-PEE-uh).

When Benjamin Franklin died 221 years ago this month, the entire Western world mourned, yet his gravestone reads (in full), "Benjamin and Deborah Franklin 1790."
There's nothing like a good spoonerism to tickle a bunny phone
The English economist Sir Roy Forbes Harrod (1900"1978) once said that, compared to all the scholars he had known at Oxford and Cambridge, the Reverend William Archibald Spooner (1844"1930) was the most exceptional in "scholarship, devotion to duty, and wisdom." There is no reason to question Harrod's assessment, but that's not exactly the imprint by which Spooner is best remembered.

BALTIMORE — The Dallas Cowboys had every reason to be proud.
They amassed 481 yards, including 227 on the ground — more than any team had ever run for against the Baltimore Ravens. Dallas held the ball for more than 40 minutes, reached a season high in points and totaled 30 first downs.
It would have been a Sunday worth celebrating. Except for the final score: Ravens 31, Cowboys 29.
Jacoby Jones tied an NFL record with a 108-yard kickoff return, and Baltimore won its 14th straight at home by holding off two Dallas threats in the final minute.
"I am sick about losing this game," Cowboys owner Jerry Jones said. "This is a very tough place to play. We made our share of mistakes, but I thought we had a shot to win at the end."
They sure did.
After Dez Bryant scored on a 4-yard pass from Tony Romo with 32 seconds left to make it 31-29, the 2-point conversion pass zipped through the arms of the diving Bryant in the front left corner of the end zone.
Dallas recovered the onside kick, but Dan Bailey was wide left on a 51-yard field goal try with 6 seconds remaining.
"I felt like I struck it pretty well," Bailey said. "Obviously, not well enough."
For all they accomplished offensively, the Cowboys (2-3) still headed home with a loss.
"Ultimately, hey look, there's no moral victories," tight end Jason Witten said. "Obviously they're a good team and you don't walk away saying, 'Hey, we 'played a good team close.' You walk away saying, 'We had an opportunity and we lost."'
Dallas coach Jason Garrett added, "I felt we fought really hard and well through a lot of different adversities in all three phases. (The Ravens) have been awfully good for a while. This team's been awfully good in this place for a while. We gave them everything they could handle."

Milk Products & MachineryIn 1856, Gail Borden received the first United States and English patents for condensed milk. Gail Borden patented a method for making condensed milk by heating it in a partial vacuum. In 1861, Gail Borden opened a condensed milk plant and cannery in Wassaic, New York.
In 1863, Louis Pasteur invented pasteurization, a method of killing harmful bacteria in beverage and food products. In 1891, the first U.S. milk processing plant to install pasteurization equipment was the Sheffield Farms Dairy in Bloomfield, New Jersey. They used a German-made pasteurizer. In 1908, Chicago became the first major American city to pass a law requiring commercial milk to be pasteurized milk.
In 1878, Doctor Gustav De Laval invented the continuous centrifugal cream separator.
How Milk has been DeliveredIn 1884, Doctor Hervey Thatcher of Potsdam, New York invented the first glass milk bottle called Thatcher's Common Sense Milk Jar, which was sealed with a waxed paper disk.
Victor Farris was the inventor of the paper milk carton. In 1932, plastic-coated paper milk cartons were introduced commercially. In 1964, the all plastic milk container was commercially introduced.
Mongols Invented Powdered MilkMarco Polo arrived in Mongolia in 1275 and stayed in Kublai Khan's court for 17 years. During this time, he made written records of how the Mongols used powdered milk.


text: With even the likes of HMAD reader Roger Ebert calling Cropsey a "horror documentary", I figured making it my movie for the day was a safe bet. Also, looking back on my other documentary offerings, they've all been ABOUT horror movies, either their production or general impact, so I figured it would be nice to expand my intake a bit, as long as it had already been dubbed "horror" by my peers. After all, I love both documentaries and true crime stories, so this is something I would have watched anyway.

This past weekend, Descanso Gardens celebrated the beginning of tomato season with Tomatomania!.
Tomato lovers from all over southern California flocked to the gardens to attend the event. The two-day program featured a plant sale and an information session on how to grow tomatoes.
Tomatomania!, known as the world's largest tomato seedling sale, started more than 20 years ago in local nursery Hortus.The nursery based in Pasadena featured classes, sales, and tomato tastings.
Since then, the program has been held throughout California as well as in Lothian, Maryland and Alexandria, Virginia. Tomatomania! returned to Descanso Gardens following a successful turnout last year.
Near the entrance of the gardens, Tomatomania! set up a booth and clusters of tables to display the various types of tomatoes. Glenn Sartain, who heard about the event through a friend, found six to eight different types of tomatoes he was interested in planting. A gardener with over 30 years of experience, he enjoys growing Celebrity tomatoes so much so that he'll often pluck the sweet fruit from his backyard for an afternoon treat.
"I was tired of eating tomatoes that were store bought," remarked Sartain on his tomato growing hobby. "It was like night and day to me; if the tomatoes aren't ones I grow or tomatoes home grown by someone else, then I don't eat them."
Apart from the plant sales, Scott Daigre, a leader of Tomatomania!, introduced tips and solutions for those interested in growing tomatoes. He described different planting strategies, ways to utilize water and fertilizer, as well as how to save seeds. Daigre also remarked on the varieties of tomatoes and the surprises that a tomato grower receives.
"There are wonderful things all throughout… each year, you find new favorites," said Daigre during the session. "We try to educate, so you can make a better choice."
For more tidbits on growing tomatoes this spring, check out Tomatomania! for information on iPhone applications, links to social media, and updates on upcoming events.

Death of baby girl remains mystery
5:17pm Tuesday 29th January 2013 in News
A Coroner has ruled that the cause of a three-month-old baby's death cannot be established.
Ava Lofthouse died in August 2012 after she had been sleeping in bed with her mother.
An inquest at Bradford Coroner's Court today heard that Ava, her mum, Rebecca, and father, Gary, had been at a family barbecue the night before the death.
Mrs Lofthouse had returned home at about 1am on August 12 and put the baby to bed in a Moses basket at the bottom of her bed.
She was woken at about 4am by the baby and took her into bed with her.
A report read out in court from paediatric pathologist Dr Chitra Sethuraman at Sheffield Children's Hospital said: "Both appeared to fall asleep."
The report said when Mrs Lofthouse woke again it was daylight and Ava's head was floppy and her head appeared squashed.
"Mum realised all was not well and rang dad who returned home and called an ambulance," said the consultant's report.
The baby was taken to Bradford Royal Infirmary where doctors tried to resuscitate her.

Let other towns settle for silent nights, for carolers singing a quiet "Jingle Bells." In the arena of Christmas celebrations, Lancaster -- pictured above in a recent News photo -- reaches for, well, the arena.
It must have started small, when the town inherited those AM&A's window displays.
But then it grew. And now don't bother knocking, Lancaster's a-rocking! A recent evening found the town's Christmasville throbbing to the beat of the Trans-Siberian Orchestra, with wildly blinking snowflakes and synchronized lights.
"It definitely could be heard through the walls of Lancaster Opera House during Monday's Town Board meeting," marvels one woman who was there.
Eventually her head began to pound too. "It gave me a headache and an eyeache."
Hmmm. If your ears, head and eyes are all hurting, that could actually give the burg a boost. So laughed one sympathetic villager. "He told me there's all of about three main Central Avenue businesses."
The Trans-Siberian Orchestra, which encourages this light-synching activity, must love this riot of rock and light. We get the idea most villagers do, too. But there are at least three people who aren't happy.
Those would be Mssrs. Adam, Meldrum and Anderson.
Surely they are turning in their graves!

Major Media Cooperate in Obama Deceit
by Shadows, Tue Jun 03, 2008 at 03:48:32 PM EDT
At roughly 6:45 ET tonight, PBS's evening news hour reported that Senator Barack Obama went over the "magic number" (2118) of delegates needed to claim the Democratic presidential nomination. He went over with superdelegates, and a new total of 2123.
Minutes later Fox News reported the same story, and NPR affiliates were not far behind. AP had actually broken the story PBS reported.
However, the evening news casts on the air at the time on all three major networks -- ABC, NBC, and CBS -- were mysteriously silent. MSNBC and CNN continued for the next 45 minutes to report Obama as lacking 10 delegates.
Why? Obama had planned a stagecraft to occur after the polls closed at 8PM ET in South Dakota, and the news agencies were cooperating with the fiction that elected delegates and not superdelegates had put him over the magic number.
Sound familiar? Think of all the collusion between the media and Bush before and during the invasion of Iraq. Mission accomplished, indeed.

The US Army continues to rely on technology as a way to cope with battlefield uncertainty. That's all well and good, argues Donald Kingston, but the service's increased reliance on complex information systems is almost begging for trouble. Yes, it's time for the army to 'harness' these systems more effectively. More on «Hurtling Toward Failure: Complexity in Army Operations»

In Greek: παστέλι, pronounced pah-STEH-lee
The version of pasteli most commonly sold at the market is generally very hard. It's the addition of refined sugar in those recipes that makes it hard. This classic version does not use refined sugar and creates a chewy texture with the fabulous tastes of sesame seeds and honey.
Tip: The quality and taste of the honey will have an effect on the final product. Try this recipe with organic honey of your preference (thyme, wildflower, fir, pine, chestnut, etc.).
Cook Time: 10 minutes
Total Time: 10 minutes
- 1 1/3 cups of honey
- 3 cups of hulled white sesame seeds
- 1 strip of lemon peel (about 1/4 x 1 inch) (optional, see note)
Note: If desired, add the lemon peel to give the pasteli a light hint of lemon.
In a saucepan, bring honey and lemon peel to a boil. Add sesame seeds stirring continuously and continue to cook while stirring to mix completely and thoroughly. When the seeds are fully mixed in and the mixture has boiled again, remove from heat. Remove and discard lemon peel.
Spread a piece of baking parchment on a cool work surface and spread out the hot mixture thinly and evenly, on the paper (about 1/4 inch high).
When the pasteli cools to room temperature, refrigerate, as is, on the parchment paper (it doesn't need to be covered). Chill for at least 2-3 hours.
With a kitchen shears, cut the pasteli into small pieces, together with the parchment paper on the bottom, and serve.
To eat, peel off the parchment paper.
Store in the refrigerator.
Serving suggestions: Pasteli can be eaten as a candy at any time, as an energy booster, and it goes wonderfully well as an accompaniment to tea. Because it is very sweet, cut in small pieces. Those with a sweet tooth can always select several!
To increase or decrease quantity: The recipe calls for equal parts by weight of sesame seeds and honey.
- 1 pound of honey (16 ounces) = approximately 1 1/3 cups
- 1 pound of sesame seeds = approximately 3 cups
Note about sesame seeds: Sesame seeds can be quite expensive, especially when purchased in small quantities. Look for sources to buy in bulk.

Homer attended Baker University in Baldwin City, Kan., where he was active in theatre, music and was a member of the Beta Tau Chapter of Kappa Sigma Fraternity. He graduated with a bachelor's degree in business in 1939. Mr. Campbell had been an insurance appraiser, tax accountant, real estate salesman, and owner of Campbell Abstract and Insurance Company in Garden City, Kan., for 60 years.
Homer was an Eagle Scout, a member of the First United Methodist Church, Optimist Club, and Garden City Community College Quarterback club, involved in years of bowling leagues, an avid golfer, and numerous community service efforts.
He was survived by his wife, Doris Mae Brinley of 74 years.
Other survivors include: his nieces, Shannon Meadows of Colorado Springs, and Dr. Sherrin Bonebrake of Olathe, Kan., and their children, Chelsea Hutchens, and Caysi and Cody Bonebrake, as well as several other nieces, nephews, grandnieces and grandnephews.

Orchids are among the most exotic and beautiful flowers in the world. No flowering plant has captured the attention or stirred passions, in quite the way orchids have: 20,000 or so wild varieties of orchids have been collected in almost every part of the world.
These amazing orchids range from the Arctic Circle to the southern tip of South America. They grow at sea level to the tops of mountains. Some live in trees, others on rocks or in the ground. Some live in bogs, swamps, forests and meadows.
The Phalaenopsis, or commonly known as the Moth Orchid, as the flower petals resemble the wings of a moth, is one of the easiest orchids to grow and have rebloom. Well-grown plants can flower often, sometimes with a few flowers throughout the year, though the main season is late winter into spring. Average home temperatures and conditions are usually sufficient.
Follow these few simple tips and you too can grow these exotic long-blooming flowers in your home!
LIGHT is easy to provide for phalaenopsis. They grow easily in a bright window, with little or no sun. An east window is ideal in the home; shaded south or west windows are acceptable. Artificial lighting can easily be provided.
TEMPERATURES for phalaenopsis should usually be above 60 degrees F at night, and range between 75 and 85° F or more during the day. Night temperatures to 55° F are desirable for several weeks in the autumn to initiate flower spikes. Fluctuating temperatures can cause bud drop on plants with buds ready to open.
WATER is especially critical for phalaenopsis. Because they have no major water-storage organs other than their leaves, they must never completely dry out. Plants should be thoroughly watered and not watered again until nearly dry. In the heat of summer in a dry climate, this may be every other day; in the winter it may be every seven to 10 days.
HUMIDITY is important to phalaenopsis. In the home, set the plants on trays of gravel, partially filed with water, so that the posts never sit in water.

Photo Restoration Video Tutorials – Selection
The first in a series of short, basic skills, video tutorials of some of my photo restoration techniques. This should make it easier to see how these photo restoration techniques are done and easier to learn.
The first is a video tutorial on the importance of selection, selecting and cloning up to your selection to avoid sharp edges and blend in with natural sharpness or softness of the image.
Sorry the sound is a bit quiet
If you want to read a written post on the importance of selection you can at this link. Photo restoration and the importance of selection.
Fix lens flair or light leak
Sometimes your camera may leak light onto the film other than through the shutter, perhaps it was faulty or cracked of broken. If it were black and white film it would be relatively easy to fix. If it were colour film this may be the result.
Fixing this much leak is not as simple as it sounds. There are many ways to go about this but as with any task in Photoshop it's what works best for the given task ahead. For this image some conventional restoration work or patching and cloning as well as using the colour channels, masks for adding back colour and detail from the original were used.
We can look at the individual colour channels to see which one is a good starting point for the restoration. What is most noticeable is the lack detail in this area, low in density and sharpness. This will be addressed later.
Here with the blue channel extracted and the original colour image thrown over the top, you can see how easy it would be to just clone all the colour back in setting the layer to "colour". This is where the density of the underlying damage needs to be fixed. By selecting these and changing the levels and tones they can be evened out, although the banding, will have to be blended out later with some overlay dodge and burn layers.
Once the main areas have been balanced back to the tones of the undamaged areas the colour can be added back with the original layer set to "colour". Surrounding colours can be cloned back in, or sampled and painted back in with a brush set to colour mode.
Once this has been achieved, the soft details need to be address with conventional patching and pasting sections over. To give an even tone to rigid inflatable, I had to copy a section from the front and paste and warp and set layer to darken, to add some shading and detail back in. Once the skirt of the boat was fixed the colours then had to be adjusted with hue saturation and exposure to get the correct glow to match the suns reflection on the bow.
The same technique was used to add details back to the other blurred areas.
Those of you who know photoshop may be asking why there is no full, step by step of this restoration? The reason is that the original file was 10600 pixels wide! And once you get those layers going in Photoshop the file soon crept up to 1000Mb and beyond, so each stage was flattened to keep my processor from going up in smoke!
The final steps were to remove the banding from the dividing lines between all the varying layers of light leak. This was done with a combination of dodge and burn overlay, and cloning areas from other parts of the image to piece it back together. As with any awkward photo restoration this does take time and is therefore not cheap.
Dont replace the background
When i get old photos that need to be restored and the photo is tattered and torn, with a stained and faded background, perhaps with cracks and tears, it would be very tempting to replace it.
Short answer don't!
Frankly I am not a fan of this practice. Most are done very badly, with the old, 'render clouds' filter and then over blurred with no attempt to match the grain.
Take time to repair the scratches, and tears, correct the fading and stains and when your done with the initial clean up you may find it hasn't improved that much. Try experimenting with the dust and scratches filter to even out the tones in the background. Then when you have found a setting that works, add a layer mask and reveal the restored image through the cleaned background. You may need to match in some grain at this final stage. The background should now look much more convincing than if you simply used a filter to produce some random, over smoothed clouds.

Resting on the shelves and hanging on the racks are items that are decidedly used.
But all around those racks -- the floor, ceiling, windows -- that's all new. Brand new.
Welcome to the fresh face of the Minnesota Valley Action Council thrift store, Again Thrift and More.
Actually, it's not just the store that's getting a new home. All of MVAC is migrating from their old location near Cub Foods on Madison Avenue to the former Johnson Outdoors building at Tullamore Street and Victory Drive.
Their first day of business in the new site was Friday. A grand opening will be held later.
The move gives them much more space to work; they'd been cramped in their previous quarters for several years. And introducing MVAC to the community in the new space is the thrift store.
It goes from 7,000 square feet to about 12,000, and gives them a much bigger area to sort donations. At the old site, the sorting room was tiny and created inefficiencies. Store manager Heather Condon said they often have to move items around on a daily basis so that volunteers could get to the items they'd need to sort. If a larger group of volunteers was coming in, they'd utilize the MVAC conference rooms for temporary storage.
No more. Now, eight of the previous sorting areas could fit in the new one.
In addition to storage, there is more parking, better lighting, a larger sales floor and hands-free doors.
Also, the drop-off area for donations (which is in the back and features a covered area so rain won't soak donors) is easily accessible and will have a drop bin for after-hours donations.
"I hope we've made it easier to donate," Condon said. "And we hope this location brings in more donations which, in turn, will bring in more shoppers."

Pat's Personal Portraits: Tourism in Arizona

The worst year for Arizona tourism was 2009, according to Kristen Jarnagin, VP of Communications at the Arizona Lodging & Tourism Association. However, since then each year the tourism rate grows a little more, even in the hot summers.
I spoke to Jarnagin about the biggest attraction in Arizona, the Grand Canyon (can you believe that in Seattle, people think the Grand Canyon is in Colorado? I mean we're the Grand Canyon State!) and the competitiveness of promoting our state, and how resorts in the Valley are actually really busy on the offseason.

The first thing most of us do when we feel the onset of an ache or pain is reach for medication.
Regular use of pain killers can sometimes cause problems such as gastrointestinal or cardiovascular complications. Some can also be addictive which can lead to unhealthy dependency.
Luckily there are many drug-free pain solutions.
Therapies such as acupuncture and reflexology can be beneficial, not just for pain but for well-being and health in general. Changing environmental factors can also help, such as the style of chairs you use, the shoes you wear, or the type of mattress you sleep on – adding a dimpled foam cover to your bed or changing to an organic mattress can do wonders for some.
There are also many foods which contain natural pain relieving properties.
Cherries contain anthocyanins, a pigment which is found in many fruits, especially in berries such as blueberries, cranberries and raspberries. However, tart cherries contain exceptionally high amounts of anthocyanins, which have been found to have an anti-inflammatory effect.
A study conducted by the Oregon Health and Science Centre showed that fibromyalgia sufferers experienced significant pain reduction after drinking cherry juice.
Tart cherries also contain melatonin, which can benefit people whose sleeping patterns are disrupted by pain.
Turmeric has been used for pain relief for many centuries by various cultures. It is now being acknowledged in the West as a legitimate alternative to drug-based pain killers. Turmeric capsules are now available in many health food shops.
In a study published by the Journal of Alternative and Complementary Medicine, turmeric's active ingredient, Curcumin was compared to ibuprofen in its effectiveness in treating pain in knee osteoarthritis sufferers.
However, it's important to consult your doctor before using turmeric. Curcumin can sometimes slow blood clotting, so it is unwise to take it in the lead up to any surgical procedures, and can be dangerous if mixed with blood thinning medication. It can also aggravate gallbladder problems.
Arnica Montana is a plant found in mountainous areas of Europe and North America. Like turmeric, Arnica has been used for a long time to relieve pain and modern science is slowly catching up with the amazing healing properties of its flowers.
It can be used topically in a variety of forms: creams, gels, oils and ointments. It can ease bruising, swelling, muscle pain, joint pain, and arthritis.
Arnica can also be taken internally in very small homeopathic quantities. If taken in too large a dose Arnica can be toxic, so make sure to seek expert advice before deciding to use it in this form.
Many natural substances can aid pain, yet sometimes pain is caused by a lack of a particular component in the body.
Our bodies are made up of mostly water, so it makes sense that some doctors and researchers are finding that some cases of pain are caused by nothing more complex than dehydration.
According to Dr Batmanghelidj, author of 'Your Body's Many Cries for Water', regular fluid intake can prevent a variety of different pains: stomach pain, back ache, heartburn, even arthritis.
Batmanghelidj says: 'heartburn is a signal of water shortage in the upper part of the gastrointestinal tract.' He also says that 'arthritis is a signal of water shortage in the painful joint' and this can be remedied by increased water intake and small amounts of salt.
The purer the water, the better.
Vitamin D Deficiency
Vitamin D deficiency has become something of an epidemic over recent years, and a common symptom can be pain, ranging from bone pain to muscle pain.
The best source of Vitamin D is sunshine, and the best way to absorb it is by going outside, as Vitamin D cannot be absorbed via sunlight through a window.
Simple Solutions
The truth is that many physical ailments can be traced to some kind of nutrient deficiency, or can be treated with a simple natural remedy. Whilst there is a place for modern medicine, it is often too heavily relied on when there is no need. The world around us offers a wealth of healing ingredients, all we need to do is learn where to find them and how to use them.

Vanessa Hudgens And Sis Shop Bed Bath And Beyond
Posted on Wed Sep 21, 2011 07:20 AM PDT
Vanessa's cropped 'do is growing out so fast!
We caught up with the Beastly star as she shopped with her little sis, Stella, at Bed Bath and Beyond on Tuesday -- but the sexy star didn't spend the entire day looking for bedding.
Hudgens was spotted getting super cozy with fellow Disney actor, Austin Butler, as they enjoyed a few milkshakes at Bob's Big Boy in Studio City later that day.
The Zac Efron look-a-like starred alongside Vanessa's BFF Ashley Tisdale in Sharpay's Fabulous Adventure, and things are definitely heating up. The pair were seen arm-in-arm at a birthday party for Tisdale's sis, at Lexington Social House in Hollywood, on Saturday.
New couple alert!
Is Vanessa dating Zac Efron look-a-likes because she still can't get over her ex?

Small business owners who want to purchase commercial property should learn about interest rates and loan structures. David Forrest, vice president and business development officer for Fidelity Bank in Raleigh, shared information on the topic with Shop Talk reporter Virginia Bridges. Here are his edited comments.
Small business owners can secure loans and financing options for commercial real estate through traditional banks and the U.S. Small Business Administration.
The repayment period or amortization period for commercial property is usually 15 to 20 years, and the loans usually include a balloon payment due at the end of a set time period, usually five years. Technically, the loan is due at this point; however, many banks will extend the loan terms to maintain business with the company.
Interest rates for commercial real estate tend to be higher than residential rates. Also, commercial loan down payments are usually larger and the repayment period is typically shorter than home loans. Usually, the down payment for commercial property is about 20 percent of the real estate price, but that can vary based on the financial strength of the company, the financial strength of the loan's guarantors and the type of commercial property being purchased.
A property that has multiple uses usually requires a lower down payment than a special use or single purpose property.
Also, small business owners in need of a smaller down payment might qualify for the SBA's 504 Program (www.sba.gov/content/cdc504-loan-program), which offers fixed-rates and long-term financing and can be used for assets and expanding or modernizing small businesses.
Because commercial loans are usually not sold from one bank to another, lenders can usually customize them to fit clients' needs.
Borrowers can work with lenders on loan options and make changes to amortization schedules that fit the business owner's needs and budget.
In addition to a commercial real estate agent, small business owners should talk to an accountant about the tax implications of purchasing commercial real estate and an attorney about the purchasing process.

The ashes fall like snow
Beneath is an ever burning fire
I hear the sirens
Forcing our sudden evacuation
Why must we leave this Canaan
The place we rest our heads
Leaving everything we had
Walking over the present damage
Taking only our memories
The city is condemned
Yet I hear the sirens
I hear the land crying out
The sky becomes blackened
The ash collects like snow
Beneath is an ever buring fire
We must carry on with heads held high
Leaving those awaiting the ferryman
With currency covering their eyes
This is a rough draft of lyrics for an Opeth-ish song I'm composing and will hope to use in my feature endeavors.
Your piece was amazing. I have to ask if it's about the underground fire that's burned in Centralia, Illinois for so many years? My folks lived there temporarily when dad got transferred so I heard of it then.
Arlo Guthrie recorded a song his dad wrote about The 1913 Massacre and the style of this reminded me of that. Your imagery was right on.
EDIT: Now I'm very confused because what I've read on the net is that the disaster was in Pa. and I know that's not where I was!!
I did research on on wikipedia on Centralia before I wrote this and it states that the town is in Pennsylvania. It seemed so fascinating that a fire is constantly burning beneath the surface.
I found out about the town while doing research on Silent Hill. The town of Silent Hill (in the movie) is influenced by the town of Centralia, in which a mine fire beneath the town is forever burning, causing most of its residents to evacuate.
I'm glad you liked it. I often like to write songs about real life events and make them into short stories. I should start posting more of my lyrics more often, considering I gave up playing bass, guitar, and drums to become a singer.
This is trippy man. Great stuff :beer:

CORBIN — By John L. Ross / Staff Writer
One woman suffered some injuries after this two-truck crash on Hwy. 6 Thursday afternoon. According to one witness at the scene who requested to remain anonymous, "I was coming over the hill, and heard the brakes squealing — I saw that (white) truck had no way to stop. She (the driver of the blue-colored truck) just pulled out. There was just no way in the world he could have stopped." The crash happened around 2 p.m. at the intersection of Hwy. 6 and Dowis Chapel Road, near the Whitley/Knox county line. One truck was a two-door Chevrolet, the other was a Ford F-150. The trucks crashed in the intersection, and ended up through a fence on private property, obliterating a church sign. Woodbine Fire Department and Knox County EMS responded to the scene, and Kentucky State Trooper R. D. Maynard investigated the crash. The road was shut down briefly so emergency personnel could clear the crash. It appeared the male driver of the Chevrolet was uninjured. The female driver of the Ford was treated at the scene, but it was unclear at press time whether she was taken to the hospital.

PLAYERS: Yovani Gallardo, Alex White, Carlos Gomez, Rickie Weeks, Jonathan Lucroy, Mike McClendon
TEAMS: Milwaukee Brewers, Colorado Rockies
TEAMS: Milwaukee Brewers, Colorado Rockies
Yovani Gallardo stayed on track for a possible opening day assignment. The former All-Star pitched 3 1-3 scoreless innings Sunday and the Milwaukee Brewers beat a split squad of Colorado Rockies 5-4. Gallardo used 45 pitches to scatter three hits and a walk with two strikeouts. He's fanned six in 5 1-3 innings this spring - he finished fifth in the NL last season with 207 strikeouts but struggled at times with his command. This spring, Gallardo has made a concerted effort to improve his efficiency in the hopes of keeping his pitch count down and working deeper into games. To that note, he's ignoring statistics for now. ''It's more location,'' Gallardo said. ''That's a huge part in the first couple starts in spring. You don't want to go out there and walk five guys in three innings. Command is where everything starts.'' Colorado starter Alex White, competing for a spot in the rotation, threw three innings in his second start of the spring, allowing a run on three hits. The run came in the third when Carlos Gomez singled home Rickie Weeks. White, who went 2-4 with an 8.42 ERA in seven starts a year ago, has been working on adding a slider. Of his 65 pitches Sunday, he estimated four or five were sliders. ''It's a pitch I have and I have confidence in,'' White said. ''That's where I need to learn to throw particular pitches in any count.'' Brewers catcher Jonathan Lucroy continued his strong spring, going 1 for 3 and scoring a run. In five exhibitions, he is batting .571 (8 for 14) with a home run, three doubles, two RBIs and four runs scored. Chris Nelson doubled and singled for the Rockies, who have lost six in a row. Milwaukee took advantage of two errors to push across four runs in the seventh. Colorado came back in the ninth, scoring four runs before Mike McClendon came on to record the final out.

text: Kenny Chesney's new CD, Hemingway's Whiskey, got off to a great start — it's at No. 1 on both the Billboard Country Albums chart and the all-genre Billboard 200. The top of the country list is a place Kenn's very familiar with. It marks the tenth time he has had a No. 1 country album. But it's also a bit of a different market than it once was. Kenny sold 183,000 copies of Hemingway in the album's first week of release, according to Nielsen SoundScan, and those numbers are good enough to make it the fourth best-selling album of the entire third quarter, even though it was available for only the final week of that period. Still, there were other times in his career that Kenny sold more than half a million in his debut week. Read More
