Film Looks the Easy Way: FilmConvert Now Supports Canon C300 and Arri Alexa, BMCC Coming Soon
A solid color grade can very quickly take the edge off an image that looks "too digital." If you don't have much time to spend on said color grade, but you'd like to get a great look very easily, a film LUT that attempts to recreate some of the magic we get from Kodak and Fuji stocks could serve you well. We've discussed FilmConvert a bit before, but basically it's either a standalone program or a plugin for the major Apple and Adobe products that uses the color science of the specific camera you're using in order to precisely match the film stocks they have in their system. Now they've introduced another update, this time including support for the Canon C300 and the Arri Alexa.
Here is Sebastian from cinema5D testing FilmConvert with some Canon C-Log footage from the C100:
A little bit about his workflow:
In the video above I graded a short clip that I shot on a Canon C100 during a recent project. You can see the subtle difference between ungraded / graded / and filmconverted.
The C100 is a very underestimated camera. It is very ergonomic to use, fast, and has a powerful and lowlight capable sensor. Despite the AVCHD compression (you can see the compression artefacts in this very demanding source clip on vimeo: LINK) a lot can be achieved (We'll have a more detailed look at it soon).
Since FilmConvert works in a very specific way, you have to make sure you shoot in a color profile that is supported in the program. In this case, it seems officially that for this update they are only supporting Canon Log on the C300, but the C100/C300/C500 should all look very similar since they share the same sensor and similar color science.
You're never going to perfectly replicate celluloid in a digital realm, but with software like FilmConvert, you can come very, very close, especially since the way they are achieving the look is catered to each camera. If you're tossing on a LUT like this, it's probably because you want to get to a look you're happy with rather quickly, and from the results I've seen, FilmConvert does it as well as, if not better, than any other plugin or program out there. I also think it's worth mentioning that these looks are useful not just for people who want something that feels like film, but they can give you great skin tones immediately and save you time in post from having to create this sort of thing from scratch.
Since they have to make separate profiles, it's not fully supported with every camera out of the box, but there is word that they have an update coming for the Blackmagic Cinema Camera:
The C300/Alexa update is only for the stand-alone program, but support for the plugins will be coming soon. If you own the software, head on over to the FilmConvert download page, or try it out for free (with a watermark) to sample the goods.

We're all here for the same reason: to better ourselves as writers, directors, cinematographers, producers, photographers... whatever our creative pursuit. Criticism is valuable as long as it is constructive, but personal attacks are grounds for deletion; you don't have to agree with us to learn something. We're all here to help each other, so thank you for adding to the conversation!

You cant be THAT mad, can you?
I love Filmconvert. I add it to my footage and then I just need to make small tweaks. It has really become my go to plugin. Glad to see they're supporting more cameras. I don't think everyone will like it but I love it.

Xiong on 02.2.13 @ 2:11PM
I see nothing wrong with this article.
marklondon on 02.2.13 @ 2:25PM
I own this. Its brilliant. And they've added new cams, so why not report that?
Chris Lambert on 02.2.13 @ 2:41PM
Been coming here for a few months now first time i've seen this article please keep up the good work, rather see 3 articles covering the same thing than no new ones, it not like it's becoming some unorganized mess where things are hard to find I mean the oldest article on the main page dates back too 4-5day's ago and info changes quickly/easy too miss something
David S. on 02.2.13 @ 2:49PM
Joe, is Filmconvert a good tool for adding a degree of film "damage" to a shot, or is it exclusively for the more subtle effect of giving it shots a film aesthetic? It's a brilliant product, either way; I'm just curious about how far you can push it.
Joe Marine on 02.2.13 @ 3:33PM
This isn't really as good at destroying the footage, more for giving a slight effect, though some of the grainier profiles are noticeable. I'd probably use something else if I was really trying to make it look like damaged film.
I don't understand why people act like they're being forced to read these articles by gun point.
Dave Kendricken on 02.2.13 @ 3:48PM
I find this kind of articles absolutely useful!
Steve on 02.2.13 @ 3:31PM
Thank you for this article. Is anyone aware if the Sony F3 is supported?
Joe Marine on 02.2.13 @ 3:40PM
Not yet, but I would imagine it's coming. There's technically nothing stopping you from using footage from any camera with it, it just may not be the result you're looking for.
Do the plugins support any Sony Cameras? FS-700/100 etc?
Alex Mand on 02.2.13 @ 3:52PM
I'm really enjoying to use film convert. It's easier than applying a proper LUT in Resolve. For faster projects I just tweak it a little since my camera is the R1MX. The results are very, very convincing.
Don't worry, Joe. Ask me – and you're doing a great job!
I've picked up quite a few things from your articles that I would have missed otherwise. There are articles on this site that don't interest me as much – but it's easy to skip those and pick the (for me) interesting ones :)
A bit feedback more on the topic of this article:
I'd like to see some kind of article on this site with tips about how to speed up the editing/post/color grading processes. Preferably with a bit of tips of generic do's and don'ts, perhaps going through examples of what was done in a certain film project and what the reasoning behind a certain choice was. Learning by doing is great, and learning from what other people have done can be as interesting.
Personally, I have a still photography background and I've always had a great interest in film, now trying to learn more about it. What that means to me is that I'm fairly comfortable with framing, exposing, lighting.
On the other hand it also means wild experimentation when considering how to make cuts, figuring out how to progress from shot to shot as well as getting around with color grading – I know what I love in one certain frame, but footage and light change over time when filming. But the process often is slow and sometimes requires rethinking from scratch.
Joe Marine on 02.2.13 @ 4:07PM
Appreciate the support. As far as editing, you might want to think about picking up Walter Murch's In the Blink of An Eye. It's basically everything behind the theory of editing, why to cut when you cut and what to look for. I know for color correction many have recommended Alexis Van Hurkman's Color Correction Handbook.
I'll try to look out for tutorials like that, and ideally we'll put together more of our own as we staff up better.
Gary Simmons on 02.7.13 @ 3:51PM
Thanks Joe I;m shopping for a book on editing theory and as for color correction I recently bought The Art and Technique of Digital Color Correction by Steve Hullfish I think it's a good book on the subject as well Check it out if you get a chance.

Great to hear that. Film convert is freakin great. Shot a short on 7D few years ago and just recently tried and was able to add the 70′s vintage film look to it- https://vimeo.com/58652518
Some Guy on 02.2.13 @ 4:54PM
I have nothing against FilmConvert, but this C100 video example seems to be highly compressed with severe macroblocking. I even watched the clip directly on Vimeo.
From the footage I've seen with the BMCC, I've noticed that the footage has its own sort of grain to it. That's not a knock against the C100, just my own personal observation. So I don't know if adding grain to BMCC footage would be beneficial.
To be honest, the general public, and especially the youth of today could care less about film grain, or even the film look. I'm seeing a trend where people actually prefer the slightly sped up and nauseating motion that the 120hz-240hz sets produce. They think that more "smooth" = better :(
I was pretty glad that Joe posted this. I like the software but don't own it and I still like to be informed on any updates to it since I don't visit the site that often. Thanks Joe.
I love Filmconvert. I used it on a music video I shot today on Canon T3I.
Watch it here: https://vimeo.com/58804628
I wish they would add a setting for VisionTech PP.
Fresno Bob on 02.3.13 @ 3:34AM
Worried about nothing. Just wonder why you felt the need to do that.
I'm not saying what you do is worthless – there's a good reason this site is one of my main bookmarks.
Joe Marine on 02.3.13 @ 5:48AM
Because I work very hard on this site, and respect everyone who comments here, and that's all we're looking for in return.
Let's move on at any rate, as we have a pretty clear comment policy…
chris d on 02.3.13 @ 9:05AM
@ Joe: Please keep up the good work. I´ve read a lot of (film)blogs in the past years till now … 90% of my blog-reading-time is here!
btw: filmconvert is a very lovely tool
Thanks Joe. I own the Stand-Alone software and could have missed this without your article.
I can't wait for the BMCC and would like to do a comparison between going to Resolve and this quick FilmConvert way. Just love the USER-FRIENDLY interface it has!
:) my BMCC is arriving tomorrow!! wuhoo!!
Looks like a very useful tool. Thanks Joe, can't wait to see the BMCC version.
i find this is needful ! Thanks ! !
Needful article.Thanks ! !
For deteriorated film effect, FILMLOOKS.COM is way to go. Great for grindhouse look.

|Ottoville School Board, union OK 3-year contract
|Wednesday, June 26, 2013 11:59 PM
Herald Editor
OTTOVILLE — A three-year agreement between the Ottoville School Board and Ottoville Local Education Association was approved at Wednesday's meeting.
The terms of the contract include a 1.75-percent raise the first and second year and a 1.5-percent raise the third. Superintendent Scott Mangas said the majority of the meetings with the teachers' union was spent on hammering out the details of teacher evaluation language and regulations now required by law to be included in negotiated contract language.
The teachers' share of the cost of insurance benefits remained 10 percent.
Last summer's storm damage from June (wind) and August (lightning) took a toll on the school's insurance policy renewal for July 1 through June 30, 2014. The renewal with the Schools of Ohio Risk Sharing Authority (SORSA) Insurance Program through Fawceett, Lammon, Recker and Assoc. Insurance Agency, Inc., for property, fleet, liability and excess insurance needs was increased more than $5,000 due to the district's frequency of claims.
"We knew we had a lot of claims but they weren't through negligence," Treasurer Bob Weber said. "SORSA realizes that but our claims did put us in a higher risk category. Hopefully, we won't have as many claims in the next couple of years and that will come back down."
Three new teachers will join the staff for the 2013-14 school year. Renee Burgei and Julie Eickholt are the district's new kindergarten teachers; and Michelle Leach is the new guidance counselor.
School Maintenance Supervisor Tim Kimmet will receive a 5-year contract. Mangas said he and the rest of the staff and administration were extremely pleased with Kimmet's work.
The administration will get a little help when it comes time to bring in substitute teachers. The board approved a contract with Rachel Wixey and Associates for the 2013-14 school year for substitute staffing. The set-up fee is $975 and each sub contact will be $2.95.
"This will take a huge load off the administration," Mangas said. "We did a lot with our teachers last year and it was difficult to fill those positions when needed. We spent a lot time on the phone that could have been better spent."
The board also approved numerous one-year limited supplemental contracts for the next school year. Contracts were awarded to: Joe Modica, head softball coach; Todd Knippen, assitant softball coach; Ashley Cossgrove, assistant softball coach; Susan Jones, junior high boys track coach; Ryan Horstman, head boys track coach; Vaughn Horstman, head girls track coach; Ty Wannemacher, junior varsity baseball coach; Shawn Knodell, junior high girls track coach; Jessica Beining, assistant girls soccer coach; and Alicia Haselman, junior varsity volleyball coach.
Other contracts issued included: Jeanne Bockey, one-year supplemental, High School Science Fair advisor; Jodi Koester and Judy Bosch, Summer Intervention teachers; and Jodie Koester and Kevin Blake, one-year supplemental, mentors for the Resident Educator Program.
Mangas gave his update which included preliminary results from the Ohio Achievement Assessments. Third-grade results include 100-percent passage in Reading and 97 percent in Math; fourth grade — 100 percent in Reading and 93 percent in Math; fifth grade — 87 percent in Reading and 96 percent in Math and Science; sixth grade — 89 percent in Reading and 85 percent in Math; seventh grade — 96 percent in Reading and Math; and eighth grade — 100 percent in Reading, 92 percent in Math and 88 percent in Science.
Mangas also said all paperwork for the fourth and final year has been submitted.
In other business, the board:
• Approved Julie Schimmoeller as EMIS coordinator and Ruth Wannemacher as assistant EMIS coordinator;
• Approved the end-of-course exams for American History and American Government classes to comply with SB 165 until state end-of-course exams are selected by the Ohio Department of Education;
• Accepted and approved the student activity/athletic budgets and proposed fundraisers for the 2013-14 school year;
• Accepted the following donations — $100, Ottoville VFW, Memorial Day Services; $4,156.50, OHSAA, girls state basketball; $500, US Green Fiber, recycling program; $50, J&M Excavating Inc., Art Department donation; $200, Defiance College, teacher internship; $750, Putnam County ESC, Threat Assessment Team; $500, The O Shack, Class of 2016; and $1,458, Big Green Athletic Boosters, track tourney;
• Approved the FY 14 Northwest Ohio Area Computer Services Cooperative Computer Service Agreement for 2013-14 at $8.714.85;
• Approved a contract with Northwest Physical Therapy for services for the 2013-14 school year, if needed;
• Approved Northwest Fitness Club to work with the Ottoville Big Green Athletic Boosters to customize and implement a strength and conditioning program for students;
• Entered into an agreement with Comp Management Inc. to provide workers compensation and unemployment program benefits effective with the policy year beginning Jan. 1, 2014 for $9,812;
• Approved the Ottoville Local Schools Student/Parent Handbook. The most significant change was to math requirements for graduates — four are now needed instead of three;
• Approved high school and elementary book bills for the upcoming school year;
• Accepted the resignations of Lori Schroeder (junior varsity volleyball), Alicia Haselman (junior high volleyball), Darrell Von Sossan (junior high girls basketball) and Scott Cossgrove (assistant girls soccer coach); and
• Approved the following unpaid volunteer coaches for 2013-14 — Brad Honigford and Chris Kemper, baseball; Darrell Von Sossan, basketball; and James Klima and Logan Klima, track.
There will be no July meeting. The August meeting will be held at 7:30 p.m. Aug. 14 and the Sept. 18 meeting will be held at St. Barbara Parish Hall in Cloverdale.

San Antonio Spurs shooting guard Manu Ginobili was awarded his third foul in Game 2 after referee Jason Phillips bit on this egregious flop by Miami Heat shooting guard Dwayne Wade.
After meeting the breeze created by Ginobili's hand which in no way came into contact with Wade, Wade crumpled like a heap of dry leaves. Twitter was not having it:
Some called for a change in the rules:
If Wade doesn't get fined for that then they should just get rid of flop fines.—
Full Court Prez (@fullcourtprez) June 09, 2014
Some called for Wade to change professions:
Dwyane Wade and Gabrielle Union. Not sure who's better at acting now after that flop.—
Lakers Nation (@LakersNation) June 09, 2014
Others just accepted the flop for what it was:
Manu reacts with a nice display of professional respect for another fellow in the ref-grifting trade.—

(PAINESVILLE, OHIO) -Lake Erie College recently received a $10,000 planning grant from the Burton D. Morgan Foundation and the Ewing Marion Kauffman Foundation to assist in the development of a campus-wide entrepreneurship initiative. The College is competing with eight other liberal arts institutions and will present a plan in November to be "judged" by the Foundations in the hopes of obtaining full funding.
"The College was very excited to be asked to apply for this initiative," said Robert Trebar, associate dean of management studies. "Lake Erie College is very committed to entrepreneurialism and encourages its student body to be creative and resourceful in all of their endeavors. We will utilize the planning funds to develop a detailed plan proposal that will impact both our students and the northeast Ohio communities in which we operate."
Lake Erie College and eight other local colleges are charged with creating a unique strategy for expanding entrepreneurship education across their campuses and are competing for significant foundation dollars to make their plans a reality. The Burton D. Morgan Foundation and the Ewing Marion Kauffman Foundation are collaborating on this project to introduce a collegiate entrepreneurship program in Northeast Ohio based on the Kauffman Foundation's Kauffman Campuses Initiative. This program is designed to expand entrepreneurship education programs at liberal arts higher education institutions initially in Ohio and eventually across the nation.
The Burton D. Morgan Foundation has funded entrepreneurship education at the collegiate level, most recently with its building and program initiatives at institutions throughout Northeast Ohio. For the last ten years, the Kauffman Foundation has supported entrepreneurship endeavors at over 150 U.S. colleges and universities. Within the last three years, its Kauffman Campuses Initiative has spurred cross-campus entrepreneurship programs. As a result, entrepreneurship education is gaining momentum, inspiring new courses, new majors, and unprecedented interdisciplinary collaboration at colleges and universities across the country. For more information on these foundations, visit www.bdmorganfdn.org or www.kauffmanorg.
Founded in 1856, Lake Erie College is a dynamic and progressive institution of higher education offering 26 undergraduate majors and master's degrees in business administration and education. This coeducational college, grounded in the liberal arts, enrolls just over 1,000 students of all ages and is nationally recognized for its equine studies programs and international learning opportunities for students.

Baseball Adds Cameron Gibson for 2014
Junior transfer hit .352 for Chipola last season after beginning his collegiate career at Georgia Tech
JACKSONVILLE, Fla. – Newly appointed Jacksonville Head Coach Tim Montez has announced the addition of Cameron Gibson (Kennesaw, Ga.) to the Dolphins roster for the 2013-14 academic year. A transfer from Chipola College [Fla.], Gibson joins the program as a junior starting this fall.
"Cameron is a sleek footed outfielder who can hit in the top of the order, steal bases, and has gap power," said Montez of the righthander. "On top of all that he is a scholar athlete in the classroom. We look forward to Cameron and his family becoming part of our program."
Signed by Georgia Tech out of high school, Gibson (6'0", 200 lbs) was part of the Yellow Jackets 2012 ACC Championship team. Last season at Chipola hit a team best .352 while leading the team to a 38-21 overall record. During the course of the season he also led the Indians with 24 stolen bases (.774) and 29 walks.
Named A Perfect Game All-American, Gibson was an All-District, All-Area, and All-State as a senior, under head coach Chad Kitchen at Salem High School. Playing in the outfield, infield, and pitcher, he graduated as the school's career leader in batting average, home runs, and still holds the program's mark for career RBI (86) and saves (11). Gibson capped off his four-year letter winning career by hitting .495 as a senior with five home runs. The Georgia All-State All-Star game participant also played two seasons of football.

Vine & Dine Festival: Highlights from an Insider
I've been working on Vine & Dine Festival at Big Sky Resort alongside Steve Merlino, event foodie extraordinaire. The event takes place August 14-17, and it's a smorgasbord of world-renowned chefs, sommeliers, and vineyards. Here are the highlights from one of the organizers, and it's not too late to grab tickets at the door for any of these:
Asado is a traditional Argentinian beef dish cooked on a "parrilla," or campfire grill for us Montanans, and the Thursday night feature event for the inaugural Vine & Dine. Not only is Asado a unique Barbeque experience, but it's close to sold out so stop reading this and get a ticket now. (I'll take this out if I can't post this afternoon, I think Asado is still interesting even though it's sold out).
After Thursday the heat gets hot at Vine & Dine with food from Google's Global Program Chef Scott Giambastiani who will be serving lunch and sharing a little bit about what he calls the "food revolution." As Google may one day take over our entire society (and the world), I suggest this lunch for THE lunch to attend on Friday (ok it's also the ONLY lunch on Friday). Needless to say it's going to be delicious, informative, and I may just ask Giambastiani to autograph my napkin.
Friday also consists of two seminars (remember, this isn't the average sit-in-an-auditorium-and-fall-asleep seminar, but a drink-wine-and-enjoy-life seminar): Tasting the Master's Way and Touring the Italian Countryside. Tasting the Master's Way features World-renowned sommeliers Fred Dame and Jay Fletcher (both featured in Jason Wise's "Somm" documentary which won Best Documentary at San Luis Obispo International Film Festival). Dame and Fletcher will take us on an "entertaining tasting of carefully chosen wines." One seminar with these two and I'm hoping to be able to pass the prestigious Master Sommelier Exam. Kidding! That exam has one of the lowest pass rates of any exam in the world, which means who better to learn wine from than two of the top ranking somms?
A few more things must be mentioned. Friday night featured Vintner dinners all around Big Sky including Lotus Pad, Olive B's, Buck's T-4, and Saturday night features the headline event: The Wine Stroll. The Wine Stroll takes tasters through the Mountain Village at Big Sky Resort and through the vines of Oregon, South America, Washington, and countless other places. If there's only one event to go to, it's The Wine Stroll.
Before The Wine Stroll tasters can take to Lone Mountain and explore the pinots from 11,166 feet or while ziplining through the forest. Then enjoy any number of seminars and lunches such as Cheese & Wine: One Stinky Good Time or Jay Fletcher's Old Vines of Northern Spain. Essentially we've made it so no taster can go wrong at any of these events.
Last, and certainly the least amount of wine, is Sunday's "Where's the Wine" Brunch, featuring bellinis, mimosas, and Bloody Marys, and, ok, wine.
I'll be enjoying Vine & Dine all weekend, join me for wine and food from around the world.

The Rut Ultramarathon: One Foot in front of the other
Imagine running a marathon that takes you up, around, and over the top of scree-encrusted Lone Peak, gaining and losing approximately 10,000 feet in elevation. Now tack on about 5 more miles. That in a nutshell is The Rut 50K-an ultra-marathon on the brink of becoming the biggest deal in Sky Running in the United States and, at least to some extent, the world.
To clarify, an ultra-race is any race longer than marathon length, or 26.2 miles. The shortest established ultrarace is 50 kilometers, or approximately 31 miles, but many ultra-marathons are 100 miles or more. Sky running, in its simplest definition, is running distance plus vertical, or long runs over mountainous terrain. The Rut, organized by The Runners Edge in Missoula, began in 2013 as the brainchild of race directors and international mountain runners, Mike Foote and Mike Wolfe. "The two Mikes" as they are known throughout the circuit, are both members of the North Face Ultra Running Team. Inspired by the steeper, more technical courses they've competed in throughout the European Alps, they wanted to bring that level of world-class racing to the U.S. and more specifically, to their Montana backyard.
On September 14, 2013, when the inaugural Rut 50K and 12K went off like a ski boot at 4:00am at Big Sky Resort, it got the attention of the International Skyrunning Federation. They chose The Rut 50K as the site of the 2014 Skyrunner World Series (SWS) Ultra Final. The SWS is a group of races taking place in the mountains of Spain, Italy, Switzerland, France, and now the United States. As race organizer Mike Foote explains, "You don't have to run all the races [in the SWS], but since The Rut 50K is the final, you get double the points, so most of the serious competitors will be here. We're expecting a bunch of international elite trail running athletes." One of those much anticipated athletes is Sky Runner Kilian Jornet, whom National Geographic named the 2014
People's Choice Adventurer of the Year.
"The course is one of the biggest draws of the event," says Foote. "The 50K is extremely technical. There's runnable
single track, but there's also lots of knife-edged ridgelines." The most attention-grabbing section takes runners up and over Lone Peak via Bone Crusher Ridge. The climb gains 2,000 feet in elevation in about a mile and a half of highly exposed terrain, to the iconic 11,166 ft. summit.
"It's just unbelievable up there," says Foote. "That part of the course is more than a race. It's an adventure."
The question The Rut asks us all, on some level, is do I have it in me? Do I have that kind of mental game? To put one foot in front of the other, over rocky, mountainous terrain, for 31 miles?

How Hard Could It Be? Learning to flyfish
I haven't been fishing since I was twelve years old and let's just say I'm close to quadrupling that age now. Living in the mecca for fly fishing, I jumped at the chance when I was invited to go. I really didn't have any gear, only the tackle box my Dad bought me for my twelfth birthday (yes, the same trip that made it my last until now), of course it's now full of art supplies so I decided not to take it. My boyfriend set me up with all the gear I needed and the terminology: indicator (aka bobber), nymph (I remember these being worms), split shot (aka weight), and dry fly (mimic the bugs on top of the water - hate those bugs when swimming). After being quizzed on my new fly fishing vocabulary we arrived at the river, put in the boat, and started some fishing... um, I mean, fly fishing.
Once we were on the water I learned time: 10 o'clock and 2 o'clock, don't break the wrist, and drop the fly in the right spot. Easy enough until you're trying to get the weight, I mean split shot, to float through the air. After some tangles and a lot of "I got it, I got it" toward my boyfriend, I truly did get. I had the fishing line and tippit (yes, another new term I learned, but I like to say, "the clear line tied to the yellow line") moving like a pendulum through the air before I cast to the perfect spot. Now, the perfect spot would actually be where my boyfriend told me to place the fly, but I came to soon realize that maybe the perfect spot was where the fly actually landed. Hitting the perfect spot is not easy, believe me, when I got remotely close to where he told me to place the fly he was rather shocked and congratulatory.
Hooking my first fish was, let's say, a miscommunication as I wasn't equipped with the new terminology my boyfriend was excitedly expressing to me. Down. He excitedly said "down", I took my rod (never call it a pole) and pointed it down and lost the fish. I now know in the fly fishing world, "down" actually means "up." Yes, I was supposed to pull up on the rod when the indicator goes down. As the day went on I received some good bites, but I wasn't able to hook the fish. Tired of standing I asked if I could try rowing for a bit. Happily my boyfriend relinquished the oars and took to the front of the boat. Five minutes later he was pulling in a beautiful Rainbow Trout out of the water. Man, I'm a good rower. Put him right where he needed to be.
After a short bit, he gave the fly rod back to me, determined I would catch my first fish in (cough, cough) number of years. I cast out with good 10 and 2 pendulum form trying my best to place the fly in the right spot and mending perfectly (another term for making sure the yellow line is ahead of the clear line. I got pretty good at this). I hear "down" and pull up fast. Fish on! I start pulling line in and reeling in excess fly line. I'm completely out of my head excited. It's not just a fish, but a good-sized fish. I'm all of the sudden a professional fisherwoman calling for the net.
As it gets closer to the boat I ask what kind of fish it is and he says with a sigh, "a Whitefish". How cool is that, my first Whitefish and I moved to Big Sky from Whitefish. I'm just beaming until I look over at the disgust on my boyfriend's face. Each person I've told this story to give the same disgusted look, like Whitefish are rats in the water. No good. I insist he takes a picture.
"But it's a Whitefish, you don't want a picture with a Whitefish," he says.
"Oh, no, brother, I don't care. I caught this fish and I want a picture," I retort back.
He took the picture. A beautiful picture of me and my first fish I've caught since I was twelve and fly fishing to boot. I held it proudly for the camera with the biggest smile on my face and a death grip on this poor Whitefish. As he releases my fish into the water it starts to go belly up. I'm in a panic. I've killed it. This is supposed to be catch and release and I killed the first fish I've caught. I'm devastated. My boyfriend kept chuckling and saying "don't worry, it's just stunned from your death grip." Within a couple of more minutes it begins to wiggle and finally swims away. All smiles again, I crack a beer.
Recipe: Chet's Mojave Shrimp Appetizer
Chet's Bar & Grill serves food that I think is best described as "Americana". I am not sure when the restaurant opened. I chose this dish because I think it represents Chet's better than any other appetizer on the menu. Even though it is shrimp from the ocean, the corn salsa and the BBQ sauce represent the flavors of authentic American cuisine.
Mojave Shrimp Appetizer
Five jumbo bacon wrapped shrimp stuffed with jalapenos, slathered with BBQ glaze then served with oven-roasted corn salsa.
For the Corn Salsa:
1 Tb light olive oil
2 cups corn kernels
¼ cup roughly chopped cilantro
½ cup red bell pepper, diced
1 Tb lime juice
1 tsp Cholula hot sauce
1 tsp kosher salt
1 fresh jalapeno, minced
Heat oil in a sauté pan and add the corn. Sauté until corn is slightly browned, about 3-5 minutes. Place in a container and cool. Once cooled, mix remaining ingredients.
For the BBQ sauce:
1 Tb Butter
2 shallots, diced
1 Tb course ground black pepper
1 cup apple cider vinegar
1 cup Coca Cola
2 cups your favorite BBQ sauce
¼ cup maple syrup
In a small sauce pan, heat the butter and add the shallots. Cook over medium to high heat until shallots begin to brown. Add black pepper and stir in, cooking only for a few more seconds. Add vinegar and Coke and reduce by half. Add BBQ sauce and syrup, bring to a boil and simmer for 5 minutes.
*Optional-strain to remove the chunks of shallots.
To assemble:
5 jumbo shrimp
1 jalapeno, seeded and cut into strips
3 slices of bacon, cut in half
BBQ sauce
Corn Salsa
Lemon zest
Peel and devein shrimp. Place 1 jalapeno strip in where the vein was. Wrap in bacon. Skewer 5 shrimp on 1 skewer. Brush with BBQ sauce and place on a hot grill. Turn after 2-3 minutes, basting with BBQ sauce. On a plate, spoon corn salsa in the center. When shrimp are finished, brush one more time with BBQ sauce and then remove from skewer on to plate. Drizzle a little more BBQ sauce on shrimp and plate, sprinkle lemon zest on top and voila!

Photographic Recap: Brewfest 2014
When all was said and done, and the kegs had been drank, Brewfest was a successful event by event manager and attendee standards, and it was a ton of fun. Here is a quick list (and a lot of photos) about the things I loved at Big Sky Resort's 9th annual Brewfest:
New Belgium Brewing's Peach Porch Lounger (which I never would have sought out without an event like Brewfest)
Bottom of the Barrel.
Roadkill Ghost Choir (what a cool band).
An impromptu dance troupe dancing on moving tables and teaching us a move or two.
Lone Peak Brewery won the People's Choice Award for Best Brewery.
The sleekness of New Belgium Brewing's brand campaign. Oh the colors! (See below).
The people (I saw so many people I hadn't seen in a long time, and met a great couple from North Carolina).
The scenery. A Brewfest at the base of Lone Mountain just doesn't get much better.
Join us at Brewfest next year on July 10-11. See you there!

- Great place for Fondue in DenverOpenTable Diner Since 2011Dined on 8/24/2014This was the second time my girlfriend and I have been to La Fondue and we have been impressed both times, with this second time being for Denver Restaurant Week. The food is great (particularly the cheddar with fat tire cheese course) and the service was extremely quick. It's fondue, so we were in no rush, but as soon as we finished each course, we had the next course ready to eat in less than 5 minutes. Reasonable prices and a good selection make it a great alternative to the Melting Pot, with a better location in my opinion.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great food, server was alrightOpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 8/24/2014The food was fantastic, as expected. Our server was not around very much, mentioned weed in conversation, and also how he would not be at the restaurant much longer. As my guest and I were both servers in the past, we were not overly thrilled with the service. Had to ask for water every time he decided to make an appearance at our table when the glass was empty every single one of those times. I would have filled it myself if there was a water pitcher near me. However, as said before the food was great and a nice treat to my guest and I.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

For dessert there is a wide variety of milk, dark, white chocolates with various add-ins in which you can dip strawberries, bananas, candy pieces, marshmallows as well other delectables.

- MediocreDenverPippinDined on 8/10/2014Overall, I was disappointed in our dining experience. The food was mediocre. It was all "fine", but nothing was great. Even the chocolate fondue was just "ok". The servers were friendly and helpful. The ambience is a bit weird -- if you look closely things are dated, but at a glance it is fine. If you are in the area, and want the experience go..... but if you are looking for a great fondue experience, this is not the place.
- Great for special occasionreviewVIPDined on 8/9/2014Great place to come for a special occasion, fun experience for a date night. Service was great. Loved the infused chocolate.Special Features:
- Fun and yum!motherDaughterFavoriteDined on 8/9/2014My daughter and I went to La Fondue for a special mother-daughter get together. She had never done fondue before, so it was a special treat! The service was very good and the food was generously proportioned, delicious, and fresh.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- La FondueOpenTable Diner Since 2009Dined on 8/5/2014Excellent experience with fondue. Although WAY too much excellent food from beginning to end.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- GoodfoodgoodfoodDined on 8/1/2014The food was fantastic! The inside could use a serious update. The service was great as well.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- So-so FondueDowntowngirlDined on 7/31/2014We found La Fondue to be very average, the salad course was not good and the main entree was not great either. We chose an entree that had lobster, filet mignon, sirloin, chicken and shrimp and the only thing we enjoyed was the shrimp. The lobster was terrible and the beef seemed cheap, pretty disappointing for $37/person. The cheese and chocolate courses were good, but overall it was a very average experience. We were also the only, literally the only, couple dining in the restaurant or bar for most of the meal, which seemed odd for a downtown restaurant. Overall, I was disappointed and probably will not go back in the future.
- Fun place for dinnerjrichardDined on 7/25/2014We have been here a couple times now. The food is good and the atmosphere is good for a nice night out. We love doing fondue together because of how long it takes and there is always good conversation. La Fondue stepped it up this time. We were celebrating our anniversary and they had the flowers I ordered already on the table and had put us in a quiet corner. There were also candles on our table which helped enhance the feel. It was a great anniversary dinner for us.Special Features:
- Great place to eatSandiDined on 7/22/2014A friend and I were going to a play and La Fondue was only a couple of blocks from the theatre. Our server Elisha was an absolute doll. She was so friendly that she definitely added to our dining experience. The food was fantastic! I would highly recommend this restaurantSpecial Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Birthday celebrationmitch49Dined on 7/20/2014Nice relaxing atmosphere. Went on a Sunday, less crowded. Save the apples for dessert.Special Features:
- charmingcrabbyDined on 7/16/2014Excellent food, wonderful service although the staff were a bit stretched since it was a busy mid-week night! Ambience very nice.Special Features:
- LaFondue on a weekday.JVP1Dined on 7/15/2014My daughter (17), niece (10) and I went there on a weekday. The restaurant was not very busy and was very quiet. We had an expired Travelzoo coupon and were just going to order cheese and chocolate fondues. We decided to order two of the four course meals instead. The service was very good. The waitress kept our drink glasses full and brought us each course with little wait time in between. The food was good, as with every fondue experience I have had, I thought the meat portion was a little skimpy.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- nice date night..lovtodineDined on 7/11/2014I booked this througy travelzoo for a last minute mothers day gift and just went here on Friday night. Food and service was great! But with doing fondue, be prepared to spend some cash...Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Not impressedOpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 7/6/2014The food was ok, the atmosphere was ok and the service was ok. We went to La Fondue to celebrate our anniversary and we were not impressed. The restaurant was out dated, staff was not friendly and it was almost depressing being there. The food came out and looked like my 2 year old slapped it on the plate, not what I expected for a $37.00 meal. I would always go to the Melting Pot over La Fondue.
- good food & service, terrible musicdanfoodmanDined on 6/26/2014The service and food were excellent, but they played the worst kind of semi-improv elevator keyboard music the whole time. Just not the right music for a semi-romantic, fun restaurant in downtownSpecial Features:
- Good food, poor service-ChristmasladyDined on 6/24/2014Upon arrival we pulled up to valet parking and had to wait for at least 5 minutes before the valet showed up. We were seated promptly. Water was promised to us and never brought until asked. There was a wine mix up at the bar which delayed our wine order. Fondue was put on half way and then it would take the waitress many minutes later to come back and finish. We asked for additional mushrooms which were never brought until asked a second time. Water glasses were not kept filled. The entire dinner took 3 hours due to this service. Food was ok and their selections were good but I would rather go to the Melting Pot where the service is better and you receive a bit more for your money.Special Features:
- Clean & Dessert was ahhhmazing!!!risaDined on 6/15/2014My husband and I bought a travelzoo for use while we were staying in downtown denver. I was nervous based on some of the reviews about dirtiness and bugs. The place was very clean when we arrived. i found myself searching for rodents and never saw one or a sign of one. The salad and cheese dip were okay, but the meat and dessert were amazing!! It was a good last night dinner for our vacation and we both left soooooo FULL. Worth it simply for the dessert!!!Special Features:
- Love this placeRobnoxousDined on 6/14/2014Very good food and it's fun doing it. Price is a bit high but is what it is. The cheese portion could of been a lil bigger as this was the reason to come here. . Non the less, I will return at some point, gotta get my fondue fix. .Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- We had a coupon.. .tatabananaDined on 6/10/2014We came here because we had a coupon for a four course meal with wine. The atmosphere was good, our server was nice but the food was nothing fantastic our favorite part was dessert when the chocolate fondue was served.Special Features:
- Wonderful Fondue Experience!CheersTinaMoDined on 6/9/2014The restaurant is large and great for a variety of people and events - families, date night or drinks at the bar. I went on a date there so we opted for the more quiet booths in the back but there are a variety of spots to choose from. There bar scene was fun and upbeat with a great happy hour menu. Our fondue experience was amazing. The service was always helpful and informative of the food and what to do. We had a cheese dip, salads, entrees and dessert. Everything was so tasty that nothing was left behind! La Fondue is in a great location downtown. I would definitely go there again for the happy hour or for the full fondue experience again! Fun, delicious and awesome service makes the overall experience a must do!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Fantastic!luveditDined on 6/6/2014First time at this restaurant and loved it! We can't wait to go back again! Will invite friends along the next time.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- DisappointingTrynewplacesDined on 5/31/2014We have been to this restaurant multiple times and was excited about coming back. The chairs in the lobby and our chairs were ragged and need repair, the service as slow to the point that we got the wrong plate for our dinner, but didn't feel we had enough time to get the right one. The menu had changed but they were out of food and didn't say a word until we had to ask about the food on the plate. The price is the same but the quality of the experience was much less than expected.Special Features:
- Great food but expensiveStevieBDined on 5/31/2014This restaurant has great food and great service. My wife and I used a discount voucher to dine here on date night and we both really enjoyed the food and experience. We had a table right next to the window on 15th so there was some great people watching going on during dinner. Our voucher was a good deal, but we had to add quite a bit to really experience the restaurant. In the end, we had a great night, but I couldn't help but think that we could have gotten the same thing at a much less expensive price at the other, more popular local fondue restaurant.Special Features:
- Great place for dinner!sggp2kDined on 5/28/2014The service was excellent, out waitress was able to recommend many different options and our meal was fantastic. We will be returning soon!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- DinnerIphotoUDined on 5/24/2014We were celebrating our Anniversary and felt the environment could have been more romantic. Tables very close and not very private, felt like we were dining with the couple that was sat at the next table just moments apart. A little disappointed with overall experience for the price.Special Features:
- newbies are hookedMaleficentDined on 5/24/2014We have never done this before it was a great experience. Plenty of food. Great staff. The whole experience was wonderful!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Very enjoyable!New2DenverDined on 5/17/2014The food quality was very good and I enjoyed it much more than other fondue restaurants.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Leisurely DinnerKJOSIMPSONDined on 5/17/2014Nice way to spend time with a leisurely multi-course meal. The food is fun and interesting with lots of yummy sauces included with the entrée.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- great first timePleasantlySurprised84Dined on 5/16/2014From the start it was exceptional. The fact that they held my reservation, even when I called and said I was running late, was very much appreciated. When they asked to have me wait a little bit for a booth instead of a table (they noticed I was on a date) was even better. The food and service was beyond my expectations. It was a perfect place for our first date.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- favoritefoodsDined on 5/12/2014The restaurant was practically empty. But the service was slow and confused. Difficult to order, difficult to get water refilled, although they were quick with the wine. I kept feeling that they forgot about us. There would have been a fire if I had not turned off the fondue pot. Food was OK, not exceptional. CourtneySpecial Features:
- Fun experiencelovetoeatDined on 5/12/2014My husband and I went for his birthday with a TravelZoo voucher and had a good experience. I think they really want this to be an upper-scale restaurant but it doesn't quite hit the mark. The seat upholstery is ratty and torn. The service shows good effort but isn't ideal (slow at times, mistakes on bill, never anticipating what we need without us directly asking for it). Overall though we enjoyed ourselves and, with the voucher, thought it was a good deal.Special Features:
- Always FunPeteEatsDenverDined on 5/11/2014We go to La Fondue every few months for special occasions or just dessert. The food is always good. The salad, cheese fondue, and chocolate dessert is plenty of food even without the main course! Look for a Travelzoo voucher (like Groupon) and the deal makes this a no-brainer! They even have $8 valet parking.Special Features:
- Great Mother's Day Celebration!Epicurian1Dined on 5/11/2014Brought my Mom for dinner on Mother's Day and had a fantastic time! Great experience from the time we were greeted at the door to leaving 2 hours later! Table side service was attentive and personable. Excellent employee! Food was amazing from cheese to chocolate!! Make sure you go early so you can linger and savor every moment of each course. Such a treat! Can't wait to return soon!!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great FondueDiscoDined on 5/10/2014Took my parents, sister and 6 year old niece here for Mom's birthday. We have often gone to another fondue place for special occasions and thought we'd give La Fondue a try. The food was really good and less expensive than the other place. The service was also good, but not amazing. My one reservation was that the restaurant doesn't seem well taken care of. Many of the chairs have holes in the upholstery and the carpet looks pretty bad.Special Features:
- Over-priced for atmosphereLauraKDined on 5/10/2014It's very loud in the restaurant...we went for Mother's Day and my daughter sat next to me (instead of across) so we could hear each other talking. Service was s l o w (which was disappointing since we had a 5:00 reservation) and they were steady, but not crazy-busy. Wrong salads delivered to the wrong table, then taken back and re-delivered.Special Features:

Yep, Colin .. I'm willing to confess plagiarism .. and, frankly I'm not really too fussed about debating whether he was right, or not. Does this really matter in the end ?Originally Posted by George Gaylord Simpson
I think the point he makes in this prose is pretty valid, however.
I mean, presently, it seems that Astrobiology provides commentary about where life might be found, and under what conditions. Implicit in this commentary, is the affirmation that exo-life exists .. which is fair enough for exploring the optimistic hypothesis, (even though the optimistic hypothesis is not falsifiable in practice, and thus, interestingly, the pessimistic case is unlikely to accumulate supporting evidence at the same rate, if at all, as a direct result of this). Ie: the investigation seems very lopsided.
So, the 'subject matter' ie: 'exo-life', really is being implicitly justified by means of the accumulation of 'Evidence for exo-life', (as Jeff Root has made clear for us) .. like it or not. Further, I'd imagine that if the field of Astrobiology did not exist, then there would probably be little/no evidence accumulating in support of the pro exo-life hypothesis.
The conclusion that exo-life exists being a belief, is pretty-well inescapable, as there is clearly no evidence that it does exist.
That Astrobiology makes no overt attempts to justify the fundamentals of the hypothesis, almost excludes it from 'classical' science and yet, it is not portrayed this way publically. I've seen Chris McKay (for eg) openly admitting this in interviews. The reason cited for not following the traditional scientific process, is simply that it is not possible to move forward with investigating the hypothesis, by taking the traditional 'classical' approach. The point is fair enough.
Nonetheless, I do find that the subject matter is being implicitly justified, covertly, through accumulation of evidence for the exo-life hypothesis.
Gaylord-Simpson's words are simply straight-talk and serve as a reminder that Astrobiology really is disconnected from the scientific process, at least in terms of its fundamental tenets.

New projections from a research group finds the gender wage gap won't close until 2058.The gap averages the difference between full-time pay for men versus women.
Many currently working will never see equal pay as their male co-workers before they retire.
The Institute for Women's Policy Research group cites economic problems as hurting women's wage growth and a lack of motivation to change.
In an interview with the Huffington Post, the group's president said that no one is really convinced as to what is the real reason behind slow wage growth.
The article cites U.S. Census Bureau data finding since 2007 women are earning about 77 cents for every dollar that men earn.

Starting Your Research
Finding Resources in The Bancroft Library
The Bancroft Library is the largest special collection of the UC Berkeley campus. Please note our hours are M-F 10 am – 4:45 pm. Most of our collections, in particular our manuscript and pictorial collections are offsite. You will need to plan in advance to have material available for you when you arrive. Manuscript and pictorial collections that are not processed will not be served in the reading room. Other collections, or portions of collections, may be unavailable. Plan your research by consulting the catalog and using alternative resources, including online resources. If you need assistance please call The Bancroft Library Reference Desk during business hours: (510) 642-6481. Offsite material can be requested using our online form: http://bancroft.berkeley.edu/cgi-bin/storreq.cgi
Electronic access -- All formats can be searched on Oskicat: http://oskicat.berkeley.edu/ (the University of California Berkeley Library's online catalog). The catalog description will include information about the creator, extent of collection, subjects, any restrictions as to use, collection specific notes, and also will indicate location of material (onsite, NRLF). More extensive groupings of materials, including manuscripts and pictorial material may have detailed finding aids that will provide more detailed information about the contents of the collection.
Finding aids -- Because manuscript and archival collections contain unique materials, a finding aid, e.g., inventory, box list, or other summary of the intellectual organization of the collection is often available to help a researcher determine the contents of the materials. Finding aids provide an overview of how the collection is organized. It often includes a biographical or historical note about the creator, a scope and content note about what is in the collection, and a container listing. Most of these are available in-house, but increasingly many are available on the Internet.

Describing primary sources in detail, finding aids are the guides and inventories to collections in archives, museums, libraries and historical societies. Access to the finding aid is essential for understanding the content of a collection and for determining whether it is likely to satisfy your research needs. OAC home page: http://oac.cdlib.org/
Calisphere is the University of California's free gateway to primary sources. More than 150,000 digitized items, including photographs, documents, newspaper pages, political cartoons, works of art, diaries, transcribed oral histories, advertising, and other cultural artifacts, reveal the diverse history and culture of California and its role in national and world history.

After being abused by a ravenous Baltimore pass rush spearheaded by Terrell Suggs, Brandon Keith was mercifully replaced as the starting right tackle by Jeremy Bridges in the fourth quarter of the Cardinals' loss to the Ravens in Week Eight. As for the possibilities of other changes in an Arizona offensive line that has been mediocre at best this season, we hear there aren't any planned in the foreseeable future. There was some talk that D'Anthony Batiste could challenge disappointing former first-rounder Levi Brown at left tackle, but word is Batiste is considered by many a better option as a guard after making a positive impression recently replacing the injured Daryn Colledge on the left side. At right guard, we hear former starter Deuce Lutui remains entrenched as a backup behind Rex Hadnot, who is considered to have done a decent job despite a subpar effort against the Ravens.

Check Out the Popular Reading, Graphic Literature @ the Library
New beginnings at the library include two new kinds of books of interest to many in the SHU community: popular reading, and graphic literature.
"Graphic literature" used to be called "graphic novels," but includes non-fiction works (such as 9/11: Artists Respond). Graphic literature is a newly-evolving way of presenting image and text together in such a way that dimensions of understanding that go beyond either just text or image become possible. The power of such a combination is evident in the classic Maus: A Survivor's Tale about Art Spiegelman's parents in the Holocaust.
Graphic literature has sometimes by called "outsider literature," because as the genre has evolved it has attracted numerous authors and artists who take the point of view of an outsider to a society: Neil Gaiman's The Absolute Sandman volumes, or Gene Luen Yang's American Born Chinese. Other books border upon the genre "steam-punk" or the gothic or mystery genres, such as Yana Toboso's Black Butler series. A significant number of authors and artists are Asian.
Popular reading has also arrived: fiction and non-fiction that appeals to a wide audience for mystery, sports, fiction, and biography. Stieg Larsson's popular series is present in The Girl Who Played With Fire, and for celebrity autobiography you can find Ted Turner's Call Me Ted. Check it out!
