Digital Bolex's Low-Light Ability Tested, and the Results Might Surprise You
For the past several weeks, footage from the Digital Bolex D16 has slowly but surely been making its way around the web. So far we've seen that the D16′s RAW footage is eminently gradable, and that the skin tones are on par with, if not better than any other digital cinema cameras like the Digital Bolex. Now we've got the first low-light shots from the D16. Despite the fact that the camera maxes out at 400 ISO, these tests might just surprise you:
First and foremost it should be mentioned that the Digital Bolex D16 is NOT meant to be a low-light camera. Its sensor size and internal processing prevent it from going head to head with some of its Super35 brethren, such as the FS100, in the category of low-light performance. However, the Digital Bolex is a RAW camera, and the amount of detail that can be pulled from the shadows is pretty incredible. But don't just take my word for it. Check out the video for yourselves.
Here are the first nighttime tests of the D16. These were shot at 400 ISO with a vintage 25mm lens. All shots were pushed heavily in post, some as much as a few stops from the original exposure.
Although I can't say I'm a fan of the grade on some of these shots, it's impossible to deny how impressively the D16 handles itself at night with only available light. The noise in the dark portions of the images is barely noticeable in most cases, even after being brought up by several stops in post.
And even though the noise itself doesn't appear to be particularly filmic (in a sense that it doesn't look like film grain), the grain itself is still aesthetically pleasing, at least to my eye.
Of course, the D16 will never become your go-to low light camera, because it simply isn't designed for that type of work. However, it's nice to know that if you find yourself in a bind, and you can't produce more light or use faster lenses, the D16 and the crazy amount of detail in the shadows might just be your saving grace.
What do you guys think? Are you surprised at how malleable the D16′s RAW image is? Would you consider using it in low-light situations based on these tests? Let us know in the comments!

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!
What's wrong with the grade? I think it looks pretty solid! The image is nice although not as cinematic as the BMCC. I don't know that I would chose this camera over the BMCC for many projects but it seems to be rock solid camera.
Something about the cyan cast just doesn't feel right to me. Different strokes for different folks, I guess.
Often times when you boost luminance, which some might call ISO, the image becomes washed out and thus the saturation needs to be increased. I suspect in the case of the Bolex footage, the white balance was also off. Taking those two elements into consideration, the resulting footage makes sense. I'm under the impression from a quick online exchange w/ one of their software guys that they are still fine tuning the color science.
Raw video can be pushed a lot higher then some know is possible. I recently did a quick low light for-fun-test in one of the worst environments available – a super dim night club. I was surprised at how far you can push it. I did my for-fun-test SLASH favor for buddy who is in a band and wanted video of their stage performance. In the video, especially the shot where there is a group dancing, the video acquired was almost black w/ most detail well below the "20″ line on the waveform monitor. As I was attempting to capture as much footage as possible from a single song performance, I had little time to adjust/check exposure. Please excuse the the extremely blown highlights in some shots. for those wondering, I intercut the ML RAW shots w/ footage from an old Sony MiniDV Handycam!

I really do like those images. I might be wrong but it seems to me that the camera release is imminent.

That nose! oO
CarMe – I think the camera is the point in question.
marklondon on 09.10.13 @ 4:36PM
I liked the grade, but please, given that you are based in Los Angles and selling a camera north of the $2k BMDCC, can you please get some people involved that know how to shoot, edit and grade?
I realise you may not want to for political reasons (I'm old enough to remember punk the first time) but then please release the camera now so that someone who makes their living shooting can film with it, and we can all see the results.
There are plenty of 'alternative' DOPs in this city who would appreciate the attitude of this camera and the company behind it, and deliver images that would make people excited about this camera.
I can even think of a couple of Oscar winners who might be interested. You want me/my friends/ my clients to buy a $3k camera based on this footage? Seriously?
I've seen better footage shot with a phone. That isn't a joke or an attempted insult. It's true.
I want this camera to succeed – I love old lenses, I love S16, I look forward to possibly shooting with it. But I've never seen a camera company, no matter how anti-establishment (even RED was that in the recent past remember) promote their product with such average footage.
Hi Mark,
Thanks for your comment. I understand your concern. This footage is literally test footage. I know a lot of people say that, but we mean it. This is the first time we took the camera out at night to shoot. I know that people are used to only seeing highly produced and professionally posted images from camera companies, but we are a different kind of company. We are letting you guys in on the testing and calibrating process that most companies don't let you see. The landscape footage was also from the first time we took the camera out doors and shot landscapes. These are first and foremost for testing.
I do understand your, and other peoples desire to see highly produced "professional" images. We will get there. After we get through our testing and calibration phase and have a camera that is producing images we internally are all happy with we will get some professionals to lend their artistic sense to the project. Until then please be patient and know that you are getting to see a part of the process no other camera company shares with you.
Thanks again, Joe

Hi Joe,
If the DIgital Bolex sells well do you see your company expanding into offering cameras with 35mm sensors and perhaps more "complete" systems? I would be interested. BTW, test footage looking good.
Hi Patrick,
We are thinking about what the next camera should be if this one goes well. We have some ideas :)
It's funny… I was just about to post that it's rather refreshing that we're seeing the camera at possibly it's weakest point, and yet – at the end, up comes the Digital Bolex logo. As if to say, "we're not hiding what this camera isn't – or is." I like that.
Thanks Lane!
We are trying to do this a little different :)

I have to agree with marklondon, get some pros shooting and grading with the camera.I can see some nice detail in the shots and good potential for detail, but unlike marklondon I think the grade sucks. All of the sample footage I've watched from the camera, outside of the development team postings, has been pretty ugly. I watched some footage yesterday that looked like it was 16mm home movies from the late 60′s or early 70′s. That is nice for a flashback scene or intro to a story but useless to shoot an indie film on. Get some footage out there from someone who can highlight the detail captured by the camera and get the most out of it's ability to shoot raw. Looking at this, it looks like if I took it into Davinci I could pull out some nice detail and color but sorry to say it does not look as impressive as it should from a $3k+ camera.
Whispers on 09.10.13 @ 4:42PM
i like the lack of jello in the tube station and theres something about the changing lights in the signs, wish they revealed the fstop used
Hi Whispers,
Thanks for your comment. I like the lack of jello too :)
We used a Fujinon 25mm .85 vintage lens, the f-stop changed a bit, but was mostly between f.85 for dark city streets / hot dogs / walk of fame stars, and f2.8 for subway / escalator / bright signs.
hope that helps.
Whispers on 09.11.13 @ 6:27AM
Nice one cheers!
Looks like a fun camera. Watching this, I forgot it was a test. Actually, I don't think it was for the people shooting. At least it felt inspired to me.
It looks pretty similar to BMD Pocket Cam's in footage. FWIW, of the recent models, I'd take 70D on its image quality, features and price.
David on 09.10.13 @ 11:42PM
You're not serious, right?
There is a real old school vibe to that footage. It reminded me of the way a low-budg 80s movie would render Hollywood at night. I was just watching the non-classic Angel, and as I started thinking about the grade that movie was the first thing that popped in my head.
Excited to see more as the testing goes on.
Paul on 09.10.13 @ 5:17PM
Super 16mm sensor, hand-held but without the shake of an unstabilized hyperprime (using a modern lens with "Power O.I.S."), good grade and great sensitivity at night:
After calibrating those white orbs away, I think it's a winner. But I appreciate the competitive options of the Digital Bolex, and I'm quite sure the audio inputs will cream the BMPC.
Jerome (also..but not the other jerome) on 09.11.13 @ 12:19AM
I still don't get it. I think both of these cameras look like video cameras. There is something about it that just doesn't look filmic to me. Maybe when it gets on a real set with some decent lighting I'll change my mind but right now I wouldn't use either the Pocket Camera or the D16.
andrea on 09.10.13 @ 5:31PM
The images are great! No doubt about how far you can push the raw files…. they are raw after all!
I downloaded the first few frames of the d16 and try to stress them: they were awsome! even after pushing them 2 stops up!
I agree with Joe, I'm very greatefull with the digital bolex team to share their tests with us, but I'm also anxyous to see high end footage.
If only I would purchase the camera without spending a fortune in shipping and taxes (I'm from Italy….)
Great job guys! really great job!
I can appreciate the testing process being transparent but if I showed people my first few scripts when I was in film school, which sucked, then when I wrote a good one I might have less interest from people because they would remember those few sucky scripts I had them read. That first impression would stick with some, like it will here. People will remember the first images released publicly.
Thanks for your comment. That is true that people often remember their first impressions, but we are looking to engage with our audience on a much more personal level than many companies and hope that they appreciate the more long term approach instead of a wuick sale, one night stand approach ;)
Hi Joe. I agree with you somewhat and like your analogy of a one-night stand, but even though you are going for a long term relationship you probably wouldn't show up on your first date in pyjamas and schlepps, would you?
Chris on 09.10.13 @ 7:10PM
that was a real cool test shoot
Is it just me or does the color grade make everyone look like zombies? But resolution and motion of footage look very promising.
It's very blue-ish but there are DNGs available to play with if you wish.
Anthony Marino on 09.10.13 @ 9:42PM
Really nice, I'm with others that just love the vintage feel…the S16 is turning out some really nice footage and wow vintage glass. I wonder how my 1″ wollensak 25mm would look on this baby. Great to see this camera evolve. Thanks
tnguyenlead on 09.10.13 @ 10:17PM
For anyone that having problem with the way the color look.
Please do not mind the noise and artifact coz it is screen capture adjusted with lightroom!
Xiong on 09.11.13 @ 2:35AM
Thanks for that.
Alex Rednaxela on 09.11.13 @ 4:02AM
Absolutely goddam lovely. Like… a million times better than their grade. Really useful.
Nice job.
The tiles in the subway look a bit like a colour chart. He he.
I'm by no means a colorist but had fun trying my hand at grading those DNGs with Raw Photo Processor:
VinceGortho on 09.11.13 @ 5:28AM
Really wish this camera had a side grip/handle.
It's not the safest camera to take on a night shoot when it's shaped like a gun.
You will be able to rig many different handles, grips, and other accessories to the D16.
But we took it out on a night shoot and didn't have anyone think it was a gun.
I think it looks more like a ray gun than a real gun.
I seriously doubt you'll see anyone duck and cover when you pull it out :)
Thyl Engelhardt on 09.11.13 @ 6:49AM
except for the shy ones, as in five years time, everybody will know its look ;-)
hey, is that a Bolex in your pocket …
Marc B on 09.11.13 @ 12:49PM
I really like the look this camera produces in the test footage. Almost every test shot brings to mind some aspects reminiscent of early to mid 1970′s cinema.
Vico on 09.11.13 @ 6:26PM
Prepare for this camera on first quarter 2017.
ishoot720 on 09.11.13 @ 7:47PM
this clip was nice. i agree with the company, it's best to show real world footage instead of pro shots to give a better idea what it's capable of straight out of camera. i really like the stable images the from analog ccd. i won't be buying another cmos camera <$5k again. they're just too jittery.
ishoot720 on 09.11.13 @ 7:48PM
i used to wonder why all these indie films at the festivals all have that constant annoying shaky footage. at first i thought it was esthetics. but NO! it's CMOS!! CCD's are so much better in this dept. i really look forward to using the bolex d16
mitch on 09.13.13 @ 1:38AM
It's not bad but really it's not even that dark in that subway, I get decent shots with my t4i.

Sam Redman: UC Berkeley on December 7, 1941
Editor's Note: This blog entry is the first in a series from the Regional Oral History Office (ROHO). ROHO houses thousands of oral history interviews conducted since 1954. Some of those interviews, including many with Berkeley students, faculty, and staff recall the events of 70 years ago today – the bombing of Pearl Harbor.
UC Berkeley on December 7, 1941
In a series of recent oral histories with UC Berkeley alumni, the Regional Oral History Office (ROHO) has recorded the recollections of individuals who were students at the time of the attack on Pearl Harbor – December 7, 1941. Many of them teenagers late in 1941, they are now approaching ninety years of age. These oral histories shed light on what UC Berkeley was like before the United States officially entered World War II, and provide insight as to how students, faculty, and staff reacted to the news of the event.
For countless university students — in Berkeley and around the country — the events of that day would prove to be a major turning point. While a handful of students behaved erratically or irrationally upon hearing the news, the majority of students quietly realized that the event would soon alter their existing plans and goals. Understandably, as many students worried about their own futures, most were also anxious about the safety of their families. Some worried about their friends of Japanese ancestry. Other students would remain on campus to continue their studies, and numerous faculty members carried on teaching. For other faculty and graduate students, however, the news of the attack would provoke a series of difficult choices – many joined the armed services, found jobs in the rapidly expanding defense industry, or contributed to the war effort through research for government agencies. As the events at Pearl Harbor led many to weigh choices and voluntarily leave campus, numerous students of Japanese ancestry were soon given no choice but to leave campus.
Through the lens of oral history, we can explore the place of Pearl Harbor in the collective memory of the University of California, Berkeley. This story represents but one component of our larger efforts to record and interpret the history of the WWII homefront through oral interviews. Other collections, including our numerous oral histories with faculty, staff, and administrators, speak to the significance of that date in the history of the campus.
December 1941
By many accounts, December of 1941 was shaping up to be a terrific month in Berkeley. The weather was outstanding. Many of our narrators recall the weekend as sunny and even unseasonably warm. Instead of spending time outside, however, most Cal students were busy cramming for final exams. Despite having final exams the following day, some students were taking a mental break visiting family or friends. Others were at home or in their dorm rooms studying.
Natalie Salsig, one of our narrators, recalled in a recent interview "having to study for finals in a closet with the door closed." After Pearl Harbor, students who wanted to continue studying in the evening were forced to confront both the distractions of global events and the immediate blackouts organized along the entire coast. Salsig recalls studying for finals in the closet, a small light illuminating her books, so as not to signal to the enemy where the cities began and the Pacific Ocean ended. "It was a scary time," Salsig remembers. Fear of an actual attack was sporadic and uneven, but uncertainty was seemingly universal.
Jack Rosston was living in a co-op in December of 1941. Usually a punctual student, he had let a paper assignment sit until the last moment – staying up late the night of December 6 in order to finish the assignment. In the early hours of the morning, he woke up to screaming. He recalls the reactions of the students on campus, explaining that a couple of students were so angered by the attack, that they were threatening to bomb the Japanese Student Association. Jack recalls the pockets of anger and threats of violence, "It horrified me at that time, and most of the kids were horrified at that."
Nearby in Oakland, another young woman had more immediate concerns about her upcoming senior ball than world events. In 1942, Margaret Walton would enroll as a freshman at UC Berkeley, earning money during summers working in the shipyards. Months before she enrolled at Cal, she recalls sitting in her bedroom the morning of December 7, "I was still in my bedroom reading and listening to the radio because I had fallen and spilt my lip, and I was feeling very sorry for myself because my senior ball was coming up Friday night, and I had this mashed up face . . . I had the radio on and I got the news, and I ran out and told my folks." Her family spent the rest of the day, like many Americans, glued to the radio. "It was a real shock," Walton explained. She adds, "Well, right away you got the news that the coastline could be attacked at any minute . . . my dad had already built black out curtains to put up in the windows." Her family spent the evening huddled into the one room of their house that would not let any light escape to the outside world – eagerly awaiting updates over the airwaves. Walton's classmates who enrolled at UC Berkeley during the war years were asked to complete an accelerated degree program – as the war had depleted the number of available faculty and staff. Today, Walton and the classes that followed, students who shared the same unique circumstances on campus, are known as the War Alumni Classes. Members of the War Alumni Classes not only shared classes; they became bound by common experiences with rationing, blackouts, and air raid drills. Almost all of these students had at least one close friend or family member in the service.
In the Classroom
The effect on the Berkeley campus that followed Pearl Harbor was both immediate and palpable. Harry Wellman, who years later became Acting President of the University of California following the dismissal Clark Kerr in 1967, recounted that life changed quickly on the campus in the months that followed the attack. In an oral history recorded in the 1970s, he described his recollections of Pearl Harbor as a member of the Berkeley faculty. A specialist in agricultural economics, Wellman recounted that he was briefly assigned to administer the enrollment of students with the department: "I had the responsibility for insuring that classes desired by students would be given. That was not difficult. Student enrollment dropped sharply after 1941-42 and continued downward until the end of the war. In 1944-45 there were only a few undergraduate students in agricultural economics and almost no graduate students." Indeed, so many of the students had either enlisted, or left school to assume a job in the defense industry that the department had an excess of faculty for teaching needs. Classes pertinent to the war effort, in engineering, science, and foreign languages – witnessed temporary surges in enrollment from enlisted servicemen assigned to the campus, but enrollment in many other departments declined during the war.
Other Berkeley faculty took a prominent role in the war. The most notable of these efforts included Robert J. Oppenheimer, a Berkeley physicist, who served as the scientific director for the Manhattan Project. Working engineers and physicists, his efforts led to the creation of the first atomic bomb. Numerous other Berkeley faculty and alumni worked in all types of war agencies, but their presence was felt especially within the top-secret networks of atomic weapon research at Los Alamos, New Mexico and Oak Ridge, Tennessee.
Turning Points
Activity on the Berkley campus following the initial shock of Pearl Harbor, however, was not always so eerily quiet and isolated. Even as Wellman reported dwindling enrollments in his classes, for example, he was occasionally flying to Washington to advise the government on rationing, taxes, and commodity price fixing. Others affiliated with the campus were working on research that would have an even more far-reaching influence on the modern world.
Pearl Harbor, of course, was also an important turning point for millions outside of university settings. Denise Fleig, a Berkeley resident who was returning home from work when she learned of the attack, recalls the sense of confusion at the moment she received the news. In her oral history, she describes her sense of unease, "Everybody'll have to be drafted, now. Everybody. Oh, I wonder what that'll mean . . . Sure going to change everything. Sure will . . . Everything's going to change. Everything." In her oral history, Fleig notes that, before Pearl Harbor, California seemed to be on the edge of American life – with New York and Washington as the primary focus of the nation. The attack on Pearl Harbor, however, seemed to momentarily shift national attention westward – forcing people in California to prepare for a possible attack from the Pacific.
A growing military presence in the Bay Area, coupled with a rapidly expanding wartime defense industry, brought thousands to the region. The arriving labor force, and their families, reshaped the character of the Bay Area by introducing new religions, ethnicities, and social norms. Thousands of women soon joined the labor force in the Bay Area, many taking up work at the shipyards, coming to be known as "Rosie the Riveters." These changes not only impacted the students, faculty, and staff of the University of California, Berkeley – they were felt by everyone in the region.
Experts who study the creation of our long-term memories are generally in agreement that powerful experiences, such as those experienced in December of 1941, are either lodged into our memory or quickly rejected and forgotten. Memories surrounding important events are naturally and frequently recounted orally, thus reinforcing the recollection of meaningful events. A project such as the one undertaken by ROHO allows these recollections to be archived and preserved for a larger audience. Certainly, oral histories—like all sources—contain inaccuracies and inconsistencies. Human memory is, of course, fallible. Archival records, however, frequently confirm the narratives of those who are interviewed, and collecting from various sources allows the historian to mine the lived experiences of a more diverse array of historical actors. Often, the subtleties of emotion – the shock, fear, anger, and anxiety surrounding tragic events like the bombing of Pearl Harbor — are either lost altogether, or dramatically embellished in the newspaper accounts that have buttressed more traditional histories. By opening a forum for these emotional recollections to be presented, ROHO is helping to expand the historical memory.
Note: The oral history interviews quoted in this blog entry are currently in production. Transcripts of the interviews will soon be available alongside other WWII homefront oral histories here.

Scott is back on the road again after river plunge accident wrecked his wheelchair
8:28am Monday 3rd February 2014 in News By Jane Reader
A DISABLED man is back on the road again after an accident wrecked his wheelchair and left him traumatised.
Scott Bunter, who suffers from cerebral palsy, plunged into a river when his wheelchair slipped down a slope at Moors Valley Country Park in September last year.
The 32-year-old, from Ferndown, has been waiting for months for it to be replaced but a new model has now arrived from Germany.
Scott's condition leaves him unable to walk, talk or feed himself and he has been forced to use a hired chair since the incident on September 22.
His sister, Charlotte, told the Daily Echo: "We are really happy with the way Moors Valley have dealt with this. They have put a safety barrier up where the accident took place and they have ensured Scott has a new chair.
"It cost £9,000 and has slightly different controls to the one he had before but he prefers it and is very happy with it."
Scott was with his mum, Donna, and her partner, Mark Miles, when the chair slid down a wet path and sent Scott and his mum tumbling into the water.
Passers-by ran to their aid and helped them from the water.
Scott received his first electric wheelchair in 2012 thanks to an appeal in the Daily Echo.

"Jack Reacher" is coming, and the millions of fans of the excellent book series around the world are both eager and perhaps a bit wary about Tom Cruise stepping into the lead role of the bruising ex-military investigator turned drifter. There has been lots of concern about the actor not being the right physical build of Reacher, but for author Lee Child, he wouldn't have it any other way.
A new featurette has landed for the film, and for those who are unfamiliar with the character, the marketing department invokes the names of James Bond and Jason Bourne, which isn't entirely accurate, but at least puts the movie in a relatable ballpark (Reacher is more the latter than the former). And for those of you paying attention, there is some new footage within the brief promo segment as well, so it's worth a quick look. But the movie's grittiness has seen it run afoul of censors overseas.
The always fussy British Board of Film Classification were ready to give the movie a 15 rating thanks to a couple of particularly violent scenes, but Paramount has gone ahead and snipped them out of the movie, to accomodate a more wide reaching 12A rating. So it'll be slightly less 'Reacher' for those in the U.K., but we suppose it'll all be reinstated on the DVD in about six months time anyway, so probably not a big deal. "Jack Reacher" goes full throttle on December 21st. [Yahoo/Entertainmentwise]

I will never spend money on this garbage. Lee Child's sold out his creation and greatest character - to an ego hungry midget. Tom Cruise needs to play characters within his reach not ones meant for different actors to perform. He was never meant to play Jack Reacher. This whole thing is a total joke and I for one will not pay money to see Cruise's new comedy.
Rich | November 30, 2012 10:22 PM
Tom Cruise - Please - Give me a break! I will never see any film that he is in again! A ROOM TEMPERATURE IQ IDIOT SCIENTOLOGIST!!!!!!! He would of been perfect for a role in the new HOBBIT movie. Give it a rest TOM - YOU ARE DONE!

This is actually getting good reviews. Empire magazine gave it 4 out of 5 stars. I do admit the marketing for the film has been horrible, especially in the tone division, but here's hoping the film is better than that.

As Congress works on bills that would restrict gun rights, state lawmakers hope to expand gun rights.
Right now, hunters can't use silencers.
Senate Bill 93 would allow them to use sound suppressors.
One of the provisions in Senate Bill 101 would allow public housing tenants to have guns on their property.
Gun rights advocate Steven Drew supports both bills.
"Both of these bills offer a lot of benefits for the citizens of Georgia, both as far as controlling feral game animal populations and protecting and restoring the rights of citizens who live in public housing that may be a victim of crime," said Drew.
Senate Bill 101 would also allow people who have gun carry licenses in other states to carry their firearms in Georgia and it would remove all restrictions on firearms dealers in the state.

Heavy rains caused minor flooding in a few places in Coweta County. More rain is in the forecast and that could make the flooding worse. Instead of celebrating Independence Day, Rebecca West spent Thursday trying to stay dry. "It is horrible and I don't get to do anything. I don't get to shoot off fireworks, I don't get to hang out with anybody," West said. Creeks are near flood stage because of Thursday's rain, which makes minor flooding possible on the Fourth.One homeowner got a couple inches of rain in the house because of flood water outside. The water receded on Thursday, but the family is praying that more rain doesn't bring it back. J.C. Denson's mother turned 92 on Thursday, but her party was a "Yankee Doodle Dud," as FOX 5's Chris Shaw put it, after a cookout was cancelled. Denson left Coweta County in hopes of beating another round of showers. "I'm on my way being back home now because I want to get home before it gets dark. That water on the road, you don't see it, it looks like it's just wet. Then you're all over the place," Denson said. Some folks didn't let a little rain dampen their spirits. Patrick Cruver said he was still planning on firing his grill up for some Fourth food.
Firefighters are calling a man a hero after he helped save a family from a burning home in DeKalb County.

Leading up to the start of the regular season, PFW will post the NFL predictions of its editors, who forecast the order of finish in each division, the outcome of Super Bowl XLV, and Offensive and Defensive MVPs. In the second of these predictions, PFW associate editor Kevin Fishbain looks into his crystal ball.
AFC East
1. New England: Brady has a healthy Wes Welker and a new weapon: tight ends. The offense of '07 returns.
2. Miami: Henne has plenty around him to lead a powerful offense.
3. N.Y. Jets: Too many distractions to succeed in a loaded division.
4. Buffalo: Injury-ravaged preseason will not help the cause of a team without a quality QB or defense.
AFC North
1. Baltimore: It could be the best offense the city has seen since the days of Cal Ripken Jr.
2. Pittsburgh: Steelers could be 2-4 when Roethlisberger returns; that's asking a lot out of Big Ben.
3. Cincinnati: A nice combination of wide receivers and cornerbacks, but a brutal schedule for T.O. and crew.
4. Cleveland: The city won't get any sports relief on the gridiron with weaknesses at every skill position.
AFC South
1. Indianapolis: The league's best QB and receivers, along with a healthy secondary, could send the Colts back to the Super Bowl.
2. Houston: If Steve Slaton holds on to the ball, the Texans make the playoffs for the first time in franchise history.
3. Tennessee: Defenses will not allow Chris Johnson another 2,000 yards, so Tennessee will need a lot from Vince Young.
4. Jacksonville: Jags need a franchise quarterback to help M.J.D. and climb back into AFC playoff talk.
AFC West
1. San Diego: Not as good as 13-3 but still tops in their division by a lot.
2. Kansas City: Cassel, RBs need to make up for a poor defense. New coordinators, though, put them in contention.
3. Denver: Orton is nothing more than serviceable at QB. Dumervil loss hurts an already-weak defense.
4. Oakland: Jason Campbell was 20-32 as a starter in Washington; don't see much more success in Oakland.
NFC East
1. Dallas: Offensive line injuries are a concern, but offense is still high-octane enough to give them a chance to play in Super Bowl at home.
2. N.Y. Giants: Defense has to be better than '09 to make playoffs in an improved division.
3. Washington: Consider me on the Shanahan-McNabb bandwagon, with enough veterans around to make a surprise run at the wild card.
4. Philadelphia: Too difficult a schedule and too tough a division means too much pressure for Kevin Kolb.
NFC North
1. Green Bay: Offense and secondary are potent enough to bring them a Super Bowl.
2. Minnesota: Favre will not outdo '09 stats, but A.P. will.
3. Chicago: Jay Cutler has to perform better than he did in '09 with Mike Martz at the helm, right?
4. Detroit: Four wins will double their output from the last two seasons combined. Baby steps.
NFC South
1. Atlanta: With Matt Ryan and Michael Turner healthy, Atlanta regains its '08 swagger.
2. New Orleans: Big Super Bowl hangover in the Big Easy for a team whose defensive issues will show.
3. Carolina: They might have the league's best RB tandem, but neither Matt Moore nor Jimmy Clausen can take a team to the playoffs.
4. Tampa Bay: Those in Tampa are high on Josh Freeman, but still not enough around him.
NFC West
1. San Francisco: I still don't trust Alex Smith, but I do trust Patrick Willis, Michael Crabtree, Frank Gore and an easy schedule.
2. Arizona: Not sold on Matt Leinart, but the Cards benefit from being in the league's weakest division.
3. Seattle: When a majority of a team's offseason news involves Charlie Whitehurst, it's going to be a long season.
4. St. Louis: Bradford experiment will be entertaining to watch, but way too many holes outside QB and RB.
Offensive MVP: Aaron Rodgers, Green Bay
Defensive MVP: Troy Polamalu, Pittsburgh
Super Bowl XLV: Green Bay over Baltimore
Other editors' predictions: Eli Kaberon

More reviews by incrediblehayat
I was in Douglas when I first saw this product. I have a weakness for Benefit products and mascaras, so it caught my atttention. The packaging is of course very pretty like all the Benefit products, and the plumish violett colour is also very pretty but unfortunately you hardly see that pretty colour when applied to eyelashes. I have blond hardly coloured lashes, if I can't see the colour, then how would people with dark eyelashes see it?
Maybe usefull as a Brown mascara, but I wouldn't pay 22 for a regular brown mascara.
Nope I will not repurcase it.
I really wanted to love this. I have the original black Badgal and the waterproof and those are my babies so I figured the plum would be cute. Same formula as the original, same brush, same results. So what's the problem? The purple didn't even show up on my lashes! My lashes aren't even that dark. I couldn't even see any purple in the sun but when it was time to remove my mascara the cotton ball would have purple all over it. Its a little upsetting because I was so positive I would fall in love with it and that it would look gorgeous. Sad face! It's going back :(
Love this mascara! Everytime I wear it I get compliments on how great my eyes look&that they are popping (I have hazel eyes but this really accentuates the green). I don't find that it looks super unnatural. TIP** I put two coats of Badgal plum then one coat on the last 1/3 of the lash with Benefit's "They're real" this really makes my lashes have a WOW factor. Only downside is you have to be careful when getting the inner lashes as the brush is gigantic
I had a mini tube of this. I actually like this formula better than the black one!!! It gave me huge lashes!! But idk what I was thinking... I thought the plum would make my brown eyes pop but it just looked kind of off on me... Let's be real.. Black eyelashes are what I want. The blacker the better!! The color of this is not a bright purple I think it actually looks just like the color of the tube. If you want an alternative to black lashes try this!
You can tell it is purple when you wear it. I wish they would make one that is a darker, subtle purple. It does make green eyes stand out, but it doesn't look natural. The BADgal formula is nice though. It seems to lengthen very nicely, but volumizing and curling is just average, for me.
More reviews by elfodimontagna
I am not impressed by this mascara. I have to stop listening to sephora's salesman! They always give me bad advices!
Anyway: how could they thing that such a gigantic brush would work? And what about the formula, I have to apply three coats minumum to have a decent effect. This is such a shame because the colour really rocks!
Okay, I LOVE mascara, but I normally wouldn't wear any colored mascara. I bought this, however, on a whim one day and I'm so glad I did. One of the best mascaras I have ever purchased, it has become my new daily, go-to mascara. If you have brown eyes, it gives them a subtle, sleepy-eyed glamour, without looking costume-y in the least. I was afraid, since my lashes are already pretty dark, it wouldn't emphasize them enough for my taste, but it totally did. If I had to name a con, it would be that I think the tube dried out a little quicker than most of my othe rmascaras. Otherwise, every brown-eyed girl should own a tube of this :)
1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
I think this mascara is a lot of fun. I do like the purple color. In my opinion, my lashes looked great. I actually really like the brush. It doesn't look like anything special, but it was really effective. This makes me want to try Bad Gal in black. The only down side is that I usually don't buy HE mascaras.
For years I used pretty invisible mascaras that only give the barest indication you put them on at all. Then I tried Bad Gal and now I can't go back to the other kind. It smudges like hell by the end of the day, but because its plum, you don't really notice that much. It is a bit clumpy, for which I have knocked off another star, because even with very careful application, I've never managed to get it to go on smoothly. But, I've got to say, regardless of its bad points, I absolutely love this product. Thanks Benefit.
May well be one of the worst mascaras I have ever wasted money on. I used it twice and was very unhappy. It managed to not show up without any of the benefits of a natural looking mascara. Could not see the colour, made not difference on my blue eyes and did not lengthen or thicken my lashes - Never again!

The University of Toledo Medical Center has created one of the top facilities for Parkinson's Disease in the nation.
The nearly 6,000-square-foot Gardner/McMaster Parkinson's Center is used for research and education into Parkinson's, with a goal of one day finding a cure.
University officials say the facility is very beneficial to Northwest Ohioans, providing increased access to treatment for patients and bringing specialist of Parkinson's Disease all under one roof.
Parkinson's Disease is diagnosed in more than 50,000 Americans each year. Symptoms include rigid muscles, tremors, and changes in speech. Parkinson's is genetic, but the exact cause is still unknown.
Dr. Lawrence Elmer, Professor in the Department of Neurology and the Director of the Parkinson's Disease and Movement Disorders Program, says many families struggle with the need for help in treating loved ones, but a lack of Parkinson's specialists. Elmer says that should not be the case.
"Parkinson's is one of the most treatable illnesses in all of neurology right now," said Elmer.
Craig Thomas takes us inside the new Parkinson's center on 'Your Morning.'

This is hands down my favorite bar to frequent in Milwaukee. It has a great location, just off of Cathedral Square (a popular park) that hosts quite a few other bars and restaurants.
During the summer they've got great outdoor space and you can pick your preferred atmosphere by choosing between the first or second floor (1st being a bit more relaxed and the 2nd a bit more high energy aka loud). It certainly isn't the prettiest local, but it's comfortable regardless.
The waitstaff is always friendly and they have a fabulous selection of craft beers from around the country.

I stopped in here after having dinner in the area. Been really wanting to get here.
When we were in there it was a bit early for the live music/drinking crowd. So we had the run of the place. Moderate sized bar and drinking area. Up the steps is a stage and area for watching the constant live music they have in the place. The walls, floor and furniture are all covered in black much like any concert venue. I was told there's an entire upstairs area with a bar and a DJ most nights. I was too lazy to take the trip up there. Maybe next time.
We had the bar tenders full attention since we were the only people in the place. Never a bad thing when it comes to service. We perused the list of about 70+ beers. Which ran the gamut from all the solid local choices to plenty of imports. I went with a Lion stout and the little lady had a Delirium. Both served in proper glassware.
I would love to go back when it's jumping to get a better feel for the place. It was almost too quiet for a bar. Although that's not a complaint.
Solid craft beer selection in what seems to be a great place to catch some live music.

Area 51 is a runway. Read about the U-2 and SR-71
August 20, 2013 - Paul Giannamore
I'm no tinfoil hat-wearing, been probed by alien guy.
I am, however, fascinated by Area 51, so when the story broke over the weekend that the government formally acknowledged its existence (which I thought Bill Clinton did back in the 1990s), I had to learn more.
The national big-time media, in conjunction with the tinfoil hat-wearing, ailen-probed bloggers all focused on the whole Area 51 aspect of what got declassified in the National Security Archives.
I went looking for a copy online of what the declassified document really says.
It reads like a really, really good documentary or history book about the Lockheed U-2 spyplane, which was pretty much tested and developed at the Groom Lake airstrip in the Nevada desert, the Area 51 of mystery lore, so named because of its real-estate designation as part of the Nevada bomb and missile testing range. And the even more fascinating to me SR-71, its spyplane successor technically still available for service, but pretty much a museum piece replaced by drones.
In its heyday of the 1950s and early 1960s, the U-2 was an American badass. It looks like the unholy union of a glider with an F-104 body, because that's essentially what it is. It was developed as a black art/black ops plane, kept hidden as possible from the federal budget, (and it even came in under its black ops budget) from the prying eyes of the public, from anyone who might have leaked details. It had about two dozen overflights of the Soviet Union, snapping away photos (there's a big section of the declassified report that describes what went into making cameras in the early 1950s work from 70,000 feet altitude). It flew over Cuba during the missile crisis.
It was eventually displaced by the near-spaceship SR-71, a physically fearsome looking specimen that positively bends the mind with its speed and capabilities, and that it does not look like an airplane. A weird dull-black speedboat with really big jet engines, maybe, but not an airplane.
The report talks about Kelly Johnson, (aviation enthusiasts hear angels singing at the mention of the name), the famed Lockheed engineer whose Skunkworks in Burbank produced all kinds of flying goodies of the space age. It was because of the location in Burbank that the mystery flights to Area 51 started — the Lockheed people needed to be with their bird during testing, but moving a big group of people off the grid might have drawn suspicion.
And the U-2 is deemed responsible for about half the UFO reports of the 1950s and 1960s, according to the report. It flew about 40,000 feet higher than the airliners of the day, and when the sun caught it just right, especially as the sun was setting, airliner pilots would see some kind of flaming, weird, saucer-looking thing far, far above them where no airplanes were possible to be. Or so they thought. The truth was up there, after all. (By the way, I just skimmed it, but it seems Project Blue Book, the Air Force program that is the subject of so much good sci-fi about aliens over the years, may simply have been created as a way to explain away the U-2 sightings, not really to find the truth about UFOs.)
And if all that good U-2 stuff isn't fascinating enough for us just plane folks, there is a discussion of the design of the successor, what became the SR-71 Blackbird, the Mach 3, 90,000 footer that looks sinister even while it's parked on display in museums. (At one point, the Navy in 1958 had proposed a hypersonic, ramjet powered inflatable aircraft to avoid radar, a big problem of the U-2. The concept was rejected.)
There are hand-drawn sketches and notes and calculations by Johnson in these documents, which ominously have the word "secret" lined out on them. How cool is that? (He wasn't much for formal committees and typwritten memoranda. The engineers worked no more than 50 feet from the planes in the Skunkworks, and notes were jotted down and ideas penned out on the spot and that's how stuff got done. I see my brother, with his 38 years of aviation, sketch on napkins sometimes, too. There's a lesson there.)
A mockup of the A-12, which became the SR-71, was actually driven on a trailer truck from Burbank to Area 51 in late 1959! ("Just weather testing equipment, ma'am. Now move along!" one almost can hear the guards telling bystanders inquiring what was under the blanket at rest stops along the way.)
There is the history of what Johnson did and why in making the uber-weird looking A-12/SR-71, much of it having to to with radar evasion.
It was all cloak-and-dagger, CIA-controlled, we-could-tell-you-but-then, well you know, stuff.
I've got a lot of reading to do because this stuff fascinates me. If you are remotely interested in spy planes, aviation, high-tech 1950s-1960s style, the Cold War, Kelly Johnson and the Lockheed Skunkworks, you must read this report.
Area 51, as it turns out, is pretty much just a runway and a hidden airbase for cutting-edge planes.
Hey, I don't believe everything the government tells me anymore, but this declassified stuff is pretty cool. (Please, NSA note that I wrote that in addition to all my protesting about unconstitutional gathering of data.)
The truth is out there. And I'm going to keep on reading.

I just read a very interesting article by Jen Chang at SI.com regarding the use of analytics to prepare for matches. Everton's extensive use of analytics might not be news to some fans of the Blues, but I had no idea how vital it was to Moyes' game strategy planning.
We have seen many times across many sports that the effective use of analytics can give one team an advantage over its opponent by being better prepared to anticipate their strategies and tactics, most famously in baseball with Bill James' Sabermetrics. I'm wondering, though, if this isn't a contributory part of the reason the Toffees have typically started so slowly and then come on strong at the end of the season under Moyes.
Certainly, there is a limited set of data from which to draw early in the season, which could theoretically give a less accurate prediction of teams' tendencies (especially since rosters tend to change significantly in the offseason), leading to the use of less effective tactics in a match environment. Conversely, as the season marches on, the sample size grows ever larger, which would presumably provide a much more accurate prediction of a given team's tendencies.
I'm not faulting Moyes or Everton for using analytics at all... quite the opposite, in fact. If this is his secret behind "doing more with less," I think it's a magnificent use of technology to get more out of the game, and I'd love to know if more players besides just Landon Donovan and Tim Howard have been extensively using the information available to their advantage. Now, if we could just figure out how to make it through the first 10 or 15 weeks of lean data... then we'd really be on to something!

If you're wondering why you aren't hearing my "unique" traffic reports anymore here on JACK-FM, it's because I've been, uh, promoted!
Sara had been out on maternity leave for quite some time, so she was busy doing all the stuff that goes along with being a new mother. When she was ready to return to JACK, the boss decided to punish her by making her do not only Jacktivities, like she used to do, but also afternoon traffic reports.
So I am now the voice of the "JACK's Club" updates, which run six times every weekday. In those reports I tell you about the goodies you can earn when you redeem your points, as well as the keyword that will earn you Friends o' JACK even more points!
So PAY ATTENTION!!! (And good luck, my friends...)

Sorry Singer, But I think you missed the point...midg and I are saying resign him, there wouldn't be a signing bonus or any guaranteed money a year from now without a new deal, would there? I totally agree that he's worth more to us than what anybody will offer to trade for him, so our best bet is to sign him up long term. All we're saying is that the leverage is on the Vikings' side, and they just might need to present it that way to Harvin so he'll take a bit less than becoming the highest paid WR in league history.
And, I'm also saying, that as a business, you can't afford to guarantee any player's entire contract, because if he did suffer a career ending injury, you would be paying a guy who isn't playing and with the salary cap as is, you just can't afford to do that for more than a year or 2. That's why you only guarantee a year out on the contract...the signing bonus is already paid, so it's guaranteed by default, and that covers year one. And, that would put a HUGE chunk of money in Harvin's account immediately after he signed, and help out our cap by spreading out his pay a bit over the contract.

The spring concert season is in full swing in Howard County high schools, and nowhere is it swinging more than at Wilde Lake and Glenelg high schools, home of two of the most respected, senior and successful band directors in the state.
At Wilde Lake, Lew Dutrow, his right heel tapping, his head nodding and bobbing to the beat, his left arm pumping time, is leading the Wilde Lake High School Jazz Ensemble in a rousing version of "Johnny's Theme," the theme song to the old Johnny Carson Show.
A visitor to the rehearsal, closing his eyes, might think he's listening to a re-run of the show on television. But Dutrow, hearing something troubling, stops his young musicians with a gesture.
"It's a little sloppy," Dutrow tells his young musicians. "All of us will play tighter and better together."
With another gesture, the music begins again. This time, Dutrow is pleased.
"Now we're starting to cook. It's starting to get lively!" he says as the band finishes up. "That's how it ends, ladies and gentlemen. Thank you!"
Three hours later and maybe a dozen miles away, Barry Enzman is leading the Glenelg High School Jazz Band on a similar musical journey. Like his Wilde Lake counterpart — and friend — Enzman is animated and exuberant, tapping his foot, snapping his fingers, pointing and waving his hands.
"Yeah, everybody came to play today, man," he says as the band finishes rehearsing one song and he launches them into another.
"One, two, and one, two, three, four," Enzman chants, and the bouncy strains of "One Mint Julep," a classic 1950s rhythm-and-blues song, fill the room. This version is a blend of saxophones, horns, drums and keyboard, including a series of short solos, and when it ends, Enzman smiles.
"Yeah!" he says approvingly. "Like riding a bike. Very good."
Lew Dutrow, 55, and Barry Enzman, 60, are more than just the two longest-tenured band leaders to serve at the same Howard County school: Dutrow for 33 years at Wilde Lake, Enzman for 39 at Glenelg. They are teachers whose dedication and talent have earned them statewide reputations and inspired numerous men and women to pursue music careers.
Both took over struggling programs and built them into musical powerhouses that consistently win local and regional competitions, and occasionally even perform overseas.
"Both men are extremely well respected for their ability to always provide students with high-quality musical experiences," said Rob White, instructional facilitator of music for the Howard County Public School System. "Both are looked to by their peers as leaders. Both are very knowledgeable and very willing to help out fellow directors."
"They're the elder statesmen," said Harlan Parker, coordinator of music education at the Peabody Institute in Baltimore, who knows both men well. "They're great teachers — in the top one percent of teachers that I know.
"Howard County is very fortunate to have them."
Lew Dutrow
Growing up in Frederick, Lew Dutrow played the trumpet in high school and in college. But he always knew he wanted to teach, and after he earned his degree in music education from the University of Maryland in College Park, he went to work in Howard County. He transferred to Wilde Lake his second year, and has been there ever since.
"Wilde Lake's been a really great place for me," Dutrow said. "Once I got going here and saw how the kids care, saw how much we could achieve together, I thought I'd stick around. … And now, 33 years later, here I still am."
At Wilde Lake, Dutrow leads a marching band, a concert band and a half dozen other ensembles and bands. "It's a lot of things we do here," he said.
Dutrow has seen many changes in his 33 years, but at least one constant has remained: "These kids still very much enjoy the whole musical experience," he said.

In some situations:
- after changing some settings in Parallels Desktop/Parallels Workstation -> Preferences, or in System Preferences -> Network, or
- after installing some third-party network related drivers or software in Mac OS you can lose Internet connectivity in virtual machines.
Troubleshooting guide
Please follow the checklist below:
1. Navigate to Parallels Desktop/Parallels Workstation -> Preferences -> Network, and on that page click "Restore Defaults" button
2. Stop the Virtual Machine. Open Configuration windows from Virtual Machine menu > Configure.
- Under Hardware section check that Network Adapter is present in list, If it is missing, click "+" and add Network Adapter
3. Click Network Adapter 1 in the Virtual Machine Configuration page
- Verify that Connect is selected
- Make sure that the correct type of Network is selected - Shared or Bridged
NOTE: Host-Only Network does not provide Internet access in virtual machine
4. In Guest OS check that settings for Network Interface are valid.
- In case of a Shared Network, the IP address should be in range 10.211.55.1 -10.211.55.254
- In case of a Bridged Network, you need to either setup IP manually, or setup DHCP server in the network.
Use OS specific command to check IP configuration:
ipconfig /all for Windows OSes
