I'm looking to make a zinnia bed of Red & White flowers this year as I'm hosting one of the events for my HS reunion. How close to red is "cherry?" I'm looking at the Magellan series. I know Scarlet is more 'orangey' than red, but is cherry even worse of a match than the scarlet?
I've used the Dreamland series previously and liked them, but I think they're too short for a huge bed. They were good as 'edgers.' I really don't want to go more than 2- 2/12 feet tall in that bed. Any other thoughts, or series that you would recommend? (I have salvia 'issues' so I don't dare use those. I need a 'sure thing' and zinnias are just so easy.) |

Hi M M! I always thought the cherry color was a little on the pink side, could you use monarda (Jacob Cline)? I'm trying to think of a "good" red and the only other thing I can come up with is the red morning glory. I have a book on colors let me take a look... -B |

Red spider zinnia is red. Really red. I bought my seeds from Park. http://www.parkseed.com/gardening/PD/2233 T&M has them too. |

ew...you're right; worse than scarlet. I think I have Red Spider Zinnia seeds from a trade- I'll try those. Thanks for the replies! |

San Francisco police are in a standoff with a man who they say has barricaded himself inside a home and refused to come out.
Television news footage shows SWAT officers outside the home in the city's Visitacion Valley neighborhood on Thursday morning. Police say the suspect may be inside with his 11 and 14-year-old children.
Police spokeswoman Danielle Newman tells KTVU-TV the man is suspected of opening fire at another home the previous night. No one was hurt in that incident.
The suspect has not been identified.

Outside of any medicinal claims, the smoothies simply taste good. An acai bowl begins with several packets of the berry pulp, harvested in Brazil and frozen no more than four hours afterward. The customer then selects companion fruits to mix in like organic strawberries, bananas, mangoes, or blueberries. A splash of almond milk or other liquid, a spin around a blender — and then the fun begins. What was once mere fruit is now the consistency of a rich, thick sorbet worthy of being eaten with a spoon. Customers have a range of topping choices: fresh strawberry slices, almonds drizzled with local honey, chocolate shavings, coconut and more. Beginners wary of some of the more exotic choices like hemp milk or bee pollen might want to start with the classic Rio bowl: banana, acai and milk topped with organic granola and more fresh banana slices.
Rick's Cantina
Rick's Cantina combines fresh, locally-sourced Tex-Mex with a well-stocked tequila and rotating draft bar. Burritos, fish tacos, quesadillas, nachos, taquitos, and duck sopes are paired with house made salsas and tortilla chips.

I'm into the last week of the marathon challenge with four miles to go - to be completed by Sunday, the day of the real marathon.
It's been tough, real tough. My shins have suffered, and I've developed a dodgy left knee. God only knows what I'd do to myself if I did the 26 miles all in one go. It wouldn't be pleasant, and I'd need more than a medal at the end, more like a stretcher.
Anyway, I've managed to develop a pattern over the last week - 3 miles every other day - which is a record for me, considering I only started running a year ago. I can tell you now though, once I've finished I'll be giving the treadmill a miss for a while.
In other pledge news I'm still off the white w(h)ine, but still eating bread. A bacon sandwich just isn't the same without it. Email deleting is going well, but reading books isn't. I'm not doing well on the RSVP front either.
Come Sunday I will be celebrating my achievements and cheering on the runners past my house.

Jose Tabata, who signed 'team-friendly' six-year, $15MM deal less than a year ago, optioned to Triple-A, Pirates announced.
— Ben Nicholson-Smith (@mlbtrben) July 3, 2012
That isn't going to be good for business. Yet another example, like Cameron Maybin mentioned earlier today, that there is still significant risk in buying up the arbitration years of young players. As Ben of MLBTR notes, the Pirates option Tabata down to Triple-A Indianapolis less than one year after inking him to a deal that bought up both his arbitration and pre-arb years for the low, low price of $15 million dollars.
Jose Tabata played nearly every game in the Pirates outfield this season, splitting time between left and right. To his eternal credit, Tabata has been equally inept in each corner. Tabata is hardly a slugger but his numbers are down across the board in 2012, posting a meagre .230/.295/.341 slash line with one of the worst stolen base records you'll see.
The question for me is a simple one: what do the Pirates legitimately expect from Tabata? He is a slap-hitting speedster wholly dependant on legging out singles and "putting pressure on the defense." His approach at the plate leaves much to be desired but is the 2012 hard-luck version of Jose Tabata fundamentally different from "good" Jose Tabata?
Not walking as he should and suffering from a lagging BABIP is a deadly combination for a player who brings little else to the table. If anything, this is a significant move from the Pirates as a message of intent. Pittsburgh is not willing to keep running out a player taking more away than he puts on the table and took steps to address it.
Will the Pirates let Jose Tabata languish in the minors as they seek upgrades on the trade market? Here's hoping! The world is an infinity better place when Andrew McCutchen plays on a big stage – if Jose Tabata must take some long bus rides in service of the cause, so be it.

BCIT Aug 2010/ Jan 2011
0Feb 8, '10 by jeffy604Making a new thread for people interested about BCIT nursing
Ask questions and what not
I applied for Aug 2010
I graduated high school 2009
Re-taking bio 12
math 76
Eng 68
Chem 72
Any one currently taking BCIT nursing program are there any people who came directly from high school? -
0Feb 9, '10 by VanillanutHate to burst your bubble, but BCIT unofficially doesn't accept people without at least 30- aka, 1 year- of university credits, AND health care experience. Most of the people who go there are a little older then fresh out of high school- I am currently a level 7 student there (graduate in May) and when i started, the youngest person in my class was 21, and the oldest around 55. Mean age around 33.
Your best bet to increase your chances are to get health care experience, and some post-secondary credits. You should kill 2 birds with one stone and take BCIT's English, Philosophy, etc those "core courses" you must take, plus some liberal electives. This way it'll be a lighter course load once you're in, and you'll have the credits. -
0Apr 19, '10 by vta3Hey Jeffy 604, I'm also applying for August 2010 at BCIT. I didn't find out that I was shortlisted until late March, and I'm going insane waiting to find out if I've been accepted or not.
I don't remember what my high school average was (graduated June 2006) but I have about 80 credits at SFU and a lot of the transfer credits done. I volunteer with the Canadian Red Cross and am a First Aid Instructor.
This is my second application. My first application (for January 2010) was successful in getting me shortlisted but I got cut because I didn't have enough of the transfer credits done. I had my English and Psychology, but they still required more...
This semester, I took 6 liberal electives credits and LIBS 7002 from BCIT to meet that requirement and I'm still not very confident about my current status for the August 2010 intake.
Were you shortlisted for this intake? Have you applied to any other nursing programs? -
0Oct 2, '10 by green_teaHey everyone, I'm interested in applying for the program. But I have a few questions.
1) Is it really a MUST to have a car/be able to drive? Did bcit verify that somehow? What if I have someone who's able to drive me around?
2) Can you tell me a bit about the interview?
3) When are admission decisions made by? I assumed that you won't find out until some time around May?
THank you so much! -
0Jan 15, '11 by jazzyp88I just finished my application for Aug 2011.
I applied 2 years ago but BCIT had lost my application. I was in the midst of doing my BSc at the time so I just let it go but now I wish I had put up a fight. All that money and time gone to waste! I had applied at that time as a means to move back to Burnaby so didn't take it too seriously. I remember that I called in really late (in late April) and they apologized and told me they would do a file review. I got a call the day after saying I got shortlisted, even though I know they had already made their final decisions (because a friend of mine had received a rejection letter)
I had at that time, 2 years worth of Science credits with an A GPA but they said that I didn't make the cut because I didn't have intro to psych. I was really angry because I had taken an upper level psych credit and I had a good GPA.
Anyways make sure you stay on top of this and call in to see if your application is received.
I don't know what they will say now because I've completed my BSc but still haven't taken intro psych. I have taken some religious studies classes and anatomy/physiology. since my last application and have done a lot of volunteering since. I have no idea where I stand though! -
1Jan 19, '11 by jasnShortlisting is not the same as waitlisting.
Say 300 people applied to the Aug intake of BCIT, with 96 spots available. They might shortlist, say, 120 (this is a made-up number!). That means 180 people are cut - try again next time.
Those 120 shortlisted people are asked to submit further information (ie. references, essay). 96 are chosen from that 120, and they will also have a small list of,say, 10 people as "backups" in case all 96 don't accept their offer of admission. This is technically called a waitlist, but it functions differently than other schools. So if you're following the scenario, 104 chosen, another 16 cut to try again next time.
BCIT doesn't have a waitlist like other schools such as Langara or Kwantlen (sorry, can't remember which?), where everyone who meets the minimum requirements is placed on a list and eventually make it into the program. At BCIT, each intake is competitive. You could apply once or ten times to get it. BUT usually the top ~5 people on the "backup list" are guaranteed a spot for the next intake if they don't make it in that time (so if all 96 did accept those offers, those 5 would be offered admission for the next intake)
Hope that wasn't too confusing!green_tea likes this. -
0Feb 26, '11 by orthogal77Does anyone know when you are notified as to whether or not you are accepted at BCIT? I applied for Aug. 2011 and I tried to be proactive when applying and submitted a letter of intent/introduction as well as several professional references (I work in health care) as I had heard that they may request them. I have all A's for my highschool grades and I do have the necessary university credits but those grades aren't great since it was a long time ago (I'm 33) and I wasn't very motivated at 18. Anyone know if I even have a chance of getting in?
0Mar 7, '11 by hello123BCIT is indeed competitive to get in, but take note that they have shrunken their degree to a 3-year format and have disallowed students to become ESN's during the program. Instead they have replaced it with co-op preceptorships (paid via a bursary format) in the last semester. That means a few things:
1. ESNs can get seniority while they work for a health authority as they are seen as casual employees. Hospitals who use ESNs tend to favour them over other types of new grads, because they have already proven they can taken on their own patient load (without a preceptor). ESNs have access to internal job postings upon graduation, where other regular new grads do not and must apply externally (and sometimes there is not much externally).
2. In a weak job market, having that ESN connection can really make the difference between finding employment after graduation, to having no employment at all and possibly having to relocate elsewhere.
So be sure you carefully consider this when applying for a nursing program in the lower mainland.

Tim Rosaforte has followed Tiger Woods's career from the very beginning, getting closer to understanding him than any other writer. In this fascinating biography, that takes the story up to date to the beginning of 2001, Rosaforte assesses the man behind the amazing success. He also reveals how Tiger reinvented himself, as a player and a person, following his comparative slump after his breathtaking first Major in 1997. By the end of 2000, he had completed a Grand Slam of Majors and his dominance of the world golfing scene was complete, with many now acclaiming him the greatest player of all time. Frighteningly, he was still just 24.
Author's Biography:
Tim Rosaforte is a Senior Writer for GOLF WORLD magazine and for SPORTS ILLUSTRATED. He is a frequent contributor to the Golf Channel and is a former president of the Golf Writers' Association of America. He lives in Florida with his wife and family.

found a new home!
Plenty of my friends are looking
for one too. Find a pet to adopt.
Find a pet to adopt |
My name is Spanky!
Facts about Spanky
- Breed: Shih Tzu
- Color: White - With Red, Golden, Orange Or Chestnut
- Age: Adult
- Size: Small 25 lbs (11 kg) or less
- Sex: Male
Spanky's Info...
I am already neutered, housetrained, purebred, up to date with shots, good with kids, good with dogs, and good with cats.
Spanky, a Shih Tzu, came to us from the breeder with an abrasion on his eye. We have been treating that with the guidance of our Ophthalmic vet. It must feel good because he knows when I pick him up to put drops in his eyes and he does not mind at all. His eye is looking much better. Oh what a beautiful dog he is. He is house training very well. He loves to snuggle.
He has been neutered, had a deep clean dental, nail trim, Groom, Rabies shot, Distemper/parvo shot and is microchipped.

Why Adoption is a Great Option
Spanky, a MINNEAPOLIS Shih Tzu dog was adopted! Here's how you can benefit by looking at adoption as an option to buying a Shih Tzu for sale in MINNEAPOLIS, or seeking a Shih Tzu dog from a breeder in MINNEAPOLIS.
- Rescues and shelter volunteers in MINNEAPOLIS already know the personality and tendencies of their pets. This means they can match you with the right pet. That will makes it much easier transition to owning a pet for yourself and your new pet.
- On average adoption fees are much less than you'd pay a MINNEAPOLIS breeder, or pet store. Plus most often rescue pets have already been to the veterinarian for a check-up, had a round of vaccinations, and are spayed or neutered. That is a lot of savings!
- You will become a hero, and give a needy dog or cat a loving home. In fact, there are even Shih Tzu breeders who help with Shih Tzu rescue. One puppy or kitten adopted in MINNEAPOLIS paves the way for another one to be saved.

New projects will boost industrial use of natural gas in the US during 2012-20 by 19%, according to the Center for Energy Economics (CEE), part of the Bureau of Economic Geology at the University of Texas at Austin.
CEE analyzed a database of 144 projects completed, in progress, or planned during 2013-20 in gas-intensive industries.
In its reference-case projection, 103 projects representing total investment of $83 billion increase industrial gas consumption to 23.5 bcfd in 2020 from a base demand level of 19.8 bcfd in 2012.
A high case includes all 144 projects, which pushes industrial gas use in 2020 to 26 bcfd. Investment in the high case totals $121 billion.
CEE's reference case, which excludes projects that haven't progressed beyond planning into front-end engineering and design or permitting, includes 14 ethylene plants representing investment of $26 billion, 22 methanol and ammonia plants ($18 billion), and five GTL projects ($14.7 billion). Other project types in the CEE analysis are chlor-alkali, polyethylene, propylene, metals, and manufacturing.
The ethylene plants in the reference case have capacities totaling 9.3 million tonnes/year. Five of them are new facilities due online by 2017 with total capacity of 6.2 million tpy. Nine are plant expansions due online by 2015.
The six methanol plants in CEE's reference case have capacities totaling 5.9 million tpy. The projects include three new plants, two relocations, and one restart. All are completed or in progress and due online by 2016.
Sixteen ammonia, urea, and fertilizer plants—10 new facilities, five expansions, and one relocation—have total capacity of 13.6 million tpy.
All five GTL projects in the reference case are in FEED or permitting stages, representing total capacity of 103,300 b/d of liquids.

Tamarijn Aruba
Oranjestad, Aruba
The water's the thing in Aruba—aqua-tinted and so ridiculously clear you can inspect your pedicure when you're in it up to your chin. At Divi Aruba and its next-door sibling, Tamarijn, you'll spend most your time in that water. The two resorts share amenities: pools, a 30-foot climbing wall, bikes, tennis courts, a gym, children's camp, and access to a neighboring casino. Though families and honeymooners outnumber other guests, the vibe remains mellow and beach-focused, not frantic with kiddie activities or bass-thumping nightlife.

Capture One DSLR
Phase One Magic
Film-based photographers tend to have fixations (some would call them fetishes) about their favourite film / developer combinations. D76 2:1 for 8 minutes with agitation every 30 seconds, or the like. There's a bit of voodoo to it, but there's sometimes also years of experience that tells a photographer that some things just work better than others. The same with lenses and other gear. An EL Nikkor enlarging lens has a certain look, or a cold light enlarging head is preferred. This is what the craft side of photography thrives on.
The digital image processing world is new enough that even for those of us that have been at it for a number of years such preferences are still developing (pardon the pun). In the past few days I've discovered my first such fetish — Capture One DSLR from Phase One.
What Is It and Who's It For?
Phase One is a Danish company that makes a line of high-end digital backs for medium and large format cameras. Their products have a sterling reputation. Unless you're a commercial studio photographer you likely haven't seen or used their products, but those that have seem to have little but praise for them. The proprietary image processing software that Phase One has developed for these backs has been especially well reported on by critical users. Since I no longer do studio or commercial photography, and haven't the need for a $25,000 large format digital back, I've only had reports to go on till now, but no first hand experience.
At Photokina in late September 2002, Phase One announced that they would be bringing out their proprietary RAW image processing software for the then just announced Canon 1Ds, as well as the previous Canon 1D. This was quite a surprise since till then the company had only produced their software for their own digital backs. More surprising was the price announced — U.S. $500.
$500 for a RAW file converter? You've got to be kidding. Canon D30 and D60 users are used to getting basic RAW conversion capability for free, and really good conversion software for under $50 is available in the form of BreezeBrowser or YarcPlus. (See my comparative review here). Nikon DSLR owners also get basic conversion capability for free, though their high-end NEF processing software has always been expensive.
Naturally I was eager to see if Capture One could match the hype. It became available for download (it's a 12 meg file) from the Phase One web site as an unrestricted 30 day trial on November 28th, just 2 days after I took delivery of my own 1Ds, so I've been using it almost from the start.
The RAW Facts
If digital photography is still new territory for you you need to understand that a RAW file is like a digital negative. While a JPG produced in-camera has had white balance, sharpening and several other forms of processing applied (including lossy compression), a RAW file is just that — raw — a monochrome file without Bayer matrix encoding applied and also without a linear tone correction curve. (The human eye and electronics see differently).
The advantage of this is that you make all the decisions about how the image is to be processed, not the camera. The first downside is that these files are quite a bit larger than JPGs, though they are somewhat compressed — usually about 3:1. This compression though is lossless, and so there is no image degradation. The second downside is that the file has to be processed on a PC using somebody's RAW conversion software before anything can be done with it, and this takes time — both yours and computer processing.
Honestly, I didn't want Capture One to be very good. Why? Because it costs $500, and after spending some $8,000 for a Canon 1Ds adding another 6% for RAW image processing seemed like an undesirable expensive. I was wrong.
Profile & Calibrate Your Monitor
Anyone with a 1ds and Capture One probably doesn't need to be reminded of this, but I'll do it anyway. You must profile and calibrate your monitor for the use of this program to make any sense. Processing your images requires that what you see on your screen accurately reflects the changes that you're making. Capture One is a highly profile-aware program. Profiles are provided for various light conditions and if your monitor is profiled properly and your printer also uses profiles appropriately you'll be able to produce remarkably accurate and reliable results. Otherwise you're wasting your time and money and will be SOL.
In Use
OK. Let's start with my conclusions first. Capture One is as close to magic as I've yet seen in imaging software. After just a few days of use I regard it as an almost indispensable tools for working with Canon 1D or 1Ds files. I wish I could scientifically quantify what I'm seeing — but I can't. I do know though that this software is able to produce tonalities from the 1Ds that are a significant step above those from Canon's own software, and better than I can get from Photoshop.
I won't go into too much detail on how the program functions because you're able to download the file and try it yourself, but here are some highlights of what this program is about.
Fig. 1
The main screen is highly configurable, but usually consists of 4 major panels. Reading from left to right there's a file browser, thumbnails with basic EXIF data, a large preview window and then five vertical tabs; Capture / Gray Balance / Exposure / Focus / Develop, as seen below in Fig. 2.
Fig. 2
This tabbed layout makes for very efficient screen usage. It's also worth noting that by pressing F8 the orientation of the windows shifts so that the main preview window formats appropriately for either a vertical or horizontal frame.
In Fig. 2 above we see the Gray Balance tab. here you have the ability to place an eye dropper on a white point in the image as well as comprehensive tools for fine tuning colour balance, either in composite RGB or for each individual colour channel.
Fig. 3
The Focus tab (Fig 3) performs two functions; it serves as a magnifying area, and secondly provides USM tools. My preference is to leave these at "0" because I feel that sharpening should be done after everything else and just before printing, with the amount of sharpening based in the final print size. But, this software is designed so that you can produce images that are essentially "finished", even without going into Photoshop, and so USM is one of the tools provided.
It's worth noting that I find RAW files from the 1Ds to require much less sharpening than I've been used to from the Canon D30 or D60, and vastly less than from scanned film.
Fig. 4
The Exposure tab provides both Levels and Curves adjustments as well as an Exposure slider (EC) and a Contrast slider (CC). Again, this can be done either in composite RGB or for each individual colour channel.
Fig. 5
The Capture tab (not shown) is used primarily when the camera is used in tethered mode, but it does display a histogram. In Fig. 5 we see the Develop tab which controls how files are converted. The items you see are pretty much self explanatory. At the very bottom you'll see that you can set the program to automatically open your favourite image process software, such as Photoshop, once the file has been saved and to automatically load the file.
The Batch Editor window is worth mentioning, but let's look at it in the context of one of Capture One's primary advantages. That is that it performs everything that it does in real time.
Real-Time Processing
If you've ever used Canon's RAW processing software you can't help but to have noticed that whenever you make any adjustment the program has to re-process the file, and this takes time. Change the colour balance, black point, white point and other basic adjustments and you'll age considerably waiting for each step. The Capture One software uses a relatively small (several megabytes) file that it uses for display purposes, performing all adjustments on it in real time. When you finally tell the program to convert the RAW file to TIFF it applies these adjustments to the main file.
Because you have essentially instant feedback you are able to quickly and easily fine-tune your photographs. Doing the RAW processing takes some time though; about 70 seconds to take a 1Ds 11MB RAW file and convert it into a 63MB 16 bit TIFF. This is with a 1.8Ghz Pentium IV and 512MB or RAM.
What makes this much less onerous than it might otherwise appear to be is that one can do this is batch mode, applying corrections to a group of images. But also conversions can be stacked, and will be done in the background while you continue to work on new RAW files. Clearly Phase One understands how photographers need to work.
Colour Management
Fig. 6
Capture One is a colour management savvy program. The settings screen seen above in Fig. 6 shows how profiles can be assigned from camera through the monitor to your final output. You can use and create your own profiles with a program such as InCamera Pro, or use one of the half-dozen generic camera-specific profiles that Phase One provides.
I have found that Capture One handles colour management workflow brilliantly. What I see on my screen in Camera One is almost exactly what comes out of my printer later in Photoshop.
DeMoirize Plug-in
When you install Capture One you have the option of also installing a Photoshop plug-in that removes Moire patterns. I have only used this for a short time, so won't comment in detail, but it seems to do an "OK" job. My concern is that on several occasions it crashed Photoshop. But, I had a number of other applications open at the same time and so may have simply run into a memory allocation problem. The plug-in does appear to change the colour of certain objects so it needs to be used with care.
Fig. 7
Color Editor
As mentioned above, Capture One is provided with several generic profiles for both the 1D and 1Ds. These include Daylight, Flash, Tungsten, etc. These are provided as part of the program's comprehensive approach to Colour Management. Uniquely, Capture One also provides a utility that allows you to edit these profiles; to fine tune them to your particular needs. Note that this is not a general purpose profile editor and that it only works with Phase One's provided profiles.
Fig 8.
When a program performs its intended task this well it's disappointing to discover the areas in which it falls short. None of these are show-stoppers, but I feel that if they were corrected the utility of the program would be greatly enhanced:
- Audio files are not available. I use audio notes extensively when shooting on location, and having to have Canon's File Viewer open at the same time so as to be able to hear these shouldn't be necessary.
- Focus Points are not displayed. When a shot fails due to poor focus it can be very informative to see where it was that the camera focused on. Again, this is available in the Canon software and should be in Capture One as well.
- Only basic EXIF data is displayed within the program and none is transferred with the exported TIFF file. This is not acceptable.
I was also disappointed in the manual. It covers the basics, but does so in a disjointed way. It's neither a reference tool nor a tutorial.
The Alternatives
Canon provides their File Viewer Utility with the 1D and 1Ds. It does the job, but frankly it's not a very polished piece of software. It has a poor user interface, it's slow and it's buggy. Adobe showed a RAW camera file conversion capability for Photoshop at Photo Plus Expo in early November, and it appears that it will have some remarkable capabilities. I'll reserve judgment until it becomes available. Breezebrowser now supports the 1Ds and YarcPlus undoubtedly will soon as well.
My suggestion is that you download Breezebrowser, YarcPlus and Capture One. All can be tested out without charge. Compare them with Canon's File Viewer Utility and see which one meets your needs and budget.
Price and The Final Verdict (Revised and Update 20 Dec. 2002)
After downloading Capture One and testing it for several days, I wrote the above review and fully intended on buying the software when it because available. On December 18th Phase One contacted everyone that had downloaded the program and advised them that the program was available for download, but that the price was now U.S. $600.
I was annoyed when I saw that instead of the $500 price first announced, that Phase One had decided to raise the price to $600. I wrote on these pages of my disappointment. I was also disappointed at Phase One's corporate position that anyone buying the Windows version now would have to buy the Mac OSX version separately again when it came out in March. As a consequence I was thinking of taking a pass on Capture One, regardless of how good it was.
Just two days later I, along with everyone else who had downloaded the 30 day free trial version, received an e-mail stating that while the download price from the Phase One site was indeed $600, the $500 price was available from authorized Phase One dealers. I think this went a long way towards making prospective purchasers feel that they weren't being gouged. Also, of significant benefit to some users (including me), Phase One announced in their e-mail that they will be providing a free upgrade to Max OSX when the new Mac version ships in March, allowing their customers to use the software on both their Windows and Mac platforms at the same time. Excellent news!
Consequently I have changed my position on this software three times; from I have to have it, to I'm not going to bother, to it now makes sense. So much for consistency.
But, for many the price is still high, so let's look at the alternatives? At this time there's Canon's own File Viewer Utility, which is free, and which supports both the Windows and Mac platforms, including OS X. Breezebrowser is only $35 and is a very competent program. YarcPlus, the other leading Canon RAW converter will support the 1Ds shortly as well, and of course already supports the 1D. And then there's the forthcoming RAW conversion program from Adobe, which they previewed at Photo East Expo in November. No price or feature list yet, but trust me — it's bound to be great and unlikely to be very expensive.
Should you buy Capture One? That has to be your decision. It's a great piece of software. Only you though can make that choice, but you have 30 days to try it out and see if its advantages are worth the price for you.
Incidentally, along with commercial availability has come an upgraded release to V1.02. This new release (available from the web site, even though the site still says it's V1.0) has fixed a number of the initial bugs and is well worth the time to download even if you're still in the 30 day trial period. If you've already bought the software it's a must.
Disk Space — Update
One of the pleasures of using Capture One is how quickly it provides large and detailed thumbnails, as well as preview images. It does this by creating small work files on the fly. But, these files (and they are not really that small at about 3.5 MB each) are retained even when you have long finished with reviewing a RAW file directory. If you have a huge hard disk, no worries, but you may want to check the Previews subdirectory under the Capture One DSLR directory. You'll likely find that it contains many Gigabytes of preview files. These can safely be deleted if you need the disk space.
Another review of Capture One is also available from Digital Outback.

Classic Potato Latkes
Printable version of this recipe.Ingredients
4 medium potatoes
3 tablespoons schmaltz (rendered chicken fat)
3 eggs (slightly beated)
2 cloves garlic (finely minced)
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 tablespoons oil
Sour cream
Peel and finely shred potatoes. In a mixing bowl combine potatoes with chicken fat, eggs, garlic, and salt. Using 1/3 cup mixture for each latke, press mixture into patties about the size of the palm of your hand, squeezing out excess liquid.
In a large skillet, heat cooking oil over medium high heat. Carefully slide patties into hot fat. Cook over medium high heat about 2 minutes or until latkes are golden brown, turning once.
Repeat with remaining batter. Add additional fat during cooking, as needed. If necessary, reduce heat to medium to prevent over-browning. Drain on paper towels, keep warm. Serve with sour cream, applesauce, or other toppings.

I have an HTC Gas fireplace. We were getting head aches and called the gas company. They tested and found the seal for the glass front was leaking CO2. The seal was a orange seal that had become very brittle. Where can I find a new seal? If I can't find a new seal, can I use a high temp silicone? |

You need to order replacement glass, which usually has a fiber gasket which wont detriorate in the future. Contact the retailer where the fireplace was purchased or contact the manufacturer for a distributor who can order a replacement glass assembly for you |

Atlanta, GA Researchers have found that how an infant makes eye contact could be a first sign of autism.
They used eye tracking technology to track babies from birth until they were three years old.
The study found that babies who were later diagnosed with autism followed their mothers eyes less than other babies.
The study is published in the journal Nature.

I know there was a post recently regarding rotary blades and someone mentioned buying them from someone on EBAY I believe. But I can't find the post. I need to order some replacement blades, so if you know of the place with the best price, please enlighten me. (I really need to remember to save a post when I know I'll need it later.) Thanks |

Bev, I order Olfa blades from Amazon, I don't recall exactly the price I paid for a pack of 10, but it was close to half of the cost at JoAnne's. The other convenience, they are sold and shipped directly from amazon, and arrive at your doorstep. V. |

Dilbert creator Scott Adams posted this blog entry recently, about his hope that his father, who was suffering from Alzheimer's, would die soon, and how he hopes anyone who opposes assisted suicide follows him. (Note: His father has since passed.) I have mixed feelings about assisted suicide, and you've heard it all before, so I won't bore you with more debate. I'm not worked up about what Adams wrote. They're the words of someone who's suffering, and I'm glad his family has finally found some peace.
I can say with certainty that I wish I'd let my father die sooner. If any of my family and his close friends are reading these painful words, I hope you can understand. Dad was a good man and I loved him deeply, but it was way, way, way past time for him to go.
In April 2010, I approved surgery to clear a bowel obstruction. I didn't know it was a bowel obstruction. His doctors said it could be anything from a hernia to cancer, and they wouldn't know for sure until they opened him. I felt like an asshole letting him die from a hernia, so I said OK. He couldn't approve the surgery himself because he had Alzheimer's and didn't understand what was happening to him. He struggled while a nurse and doctor intubated him. I held him still while I stroked his hair and hoped I was doing the right thing.
I wasn't. I was profoundly wrong.
It happened nine months after my mother died, and I wasn't ready to let go. My weakness consigned him to another nine months of misery and pain, after which he finally died from another bowel obstruction.
I got a second chance to make things right after the surgery. His heart started to fail, and his doctor suggested a pacemaker. I could have said no. I should have said no. But after putting him through bowel surgery, a pacemaker was no biggie, right? Except that his body desperately wanted to die, and I robbed him of the chance to do it quietly.
Medical care for the chronically ill, and especially for the elderly, is a slippery slope. One thing leads to another, and eventually you find your father hooked up to a machine that's keeping his kidneys functioning and wondering how the hell you got there. It's like a TV movie of the week. One minute you're drinking wine coolers in your high school parking lot and the next you're a washed-up junkie snorting blow off a hooker's ass.
I said no to the last surgery, but I wasn't in charge at that point, so he went under the knife one more time. My biggest fear was that he would recover, in the sense that "recovery" meant more misery as he slogged toward the inevitable. I was relieved when he died a few days later. He never woke up.
Maybe assisted suicide is the way to go. Maybe it isn't. I'm still not sure. I'd settle for the ability to back away from lost causes. For the most part, I followed his doctors' advice. The decisions were overwhelming, and I held a helpless man's life in my hands while everyone around me, doctors included, suggested treatments that would extend his life — and his suffering. It was easier with Mom. With a prognosis of three months to live (she died in two), it was easier to back away. It's a relief to hear someone say "enough is enough" when the grieving people around you are begging you to fight on.
Dad's been gone three years today. I'm not beating myself up over it anymore. I just hope the experience has given me a better sense of where to draw the line.

This wasn't breakage in the Jesse Pinkman sense of the word. There was no loss here for some kind of greater gain, if that was possible. There was no sympathy, and no understanding. There was only angst, with the acknowledgement that the eventuality we all knew was coming had arrived, and the NFL's replacement officials had run their natural course.
We knew a meaningful game would be butchered as Ed Hochuli sipped his chardonnay while doing power squats in a distant living room, and there would be serious implications for the standings, for the playoffs, for homefield advantage, for everything. So here we are during the morning after the botched call which awarded the Seahawks a tainted victory, and introduced the Packers to the 13th man.

Doors closed to Planned Parenthood visitors
By Christin Nance Lazerus email@example.com June 22, 2011 8:38PM
Shaniqua Thomas of Gary reads the sign at Planned Parenthood in Gary explaining the closure Wednesday afternooon. | Jeffrey D. Nicholls~Sun-Times Media
Updated: October 28, 2011 11:21AM
Planned Parenthood patients hoping to pick up a pack of birth control pills or to get an STD test were out of luck Wednesday as all but one of its 28 health centers in Indiana were closed.
A state law that stripped the organization of Medicaid funding forced it to close all but one of its health centers for one day this week. Planned Parenthood also laid off two disease intervention specialists, and stopped treating Medicaid patients as of Tuesday. The law targeted Planned Parenthood because it performs abortions, even though the procedure cannot be funded by taxpayers. Nationwide, Planned Parenthood says that 3 percent of its services are abortion-related.
A handful of women drove into the parking lot of the Gary health care center Wednesday afternoon, and they were dismayed to see that the office was closed. A woman, who didn't wish to be identified, said that she was there to get some birth control pills.
"I think it's stupid," she said. "Planned Parenthood is open to help young women and girls who wouldn't normally be able to afford these services. Even if you think that abortion is wrong, not everyone can afford to have a baby, which is why they take birth control."
Gary resident Shaniqua Thomas said the lack of access to services for 9,300 Medicaid patients is going to hurt.
"Sometimes having a kid is not in the best interest of the mother," Thomas said. "Every woman has the right to make these decisions for herself."
Planned Parenthood provides a variety of health care services, including birth control, cervical cancer screenings, STD tests, vaccinations, breast exams, testicular exams, pregnancy tests, and some basic preventative health care services.
Gary resident Joanne Pulphus stopped by with her daughter, who wanted to get a physical before she starts college.
"It's definitely inconvenient," she said.
Planned Parenthood is challenging the law in U.S. District Court, and a decision is expected by July 1. Federal officials notified the state that the law violates Medicaid laws, which state a provider cannot be disqualified based on scope of services. If the ruling is not favorable to Planned Parenthood, it will have to close eight clinics statewide, including the Hammond location.
The law went into effect on May 11, and more than $100,000 in donations helped the provider stay open and continue serving its Medicaid patients until this week. Planned Parenthood usually receives about $1.3 million a year in Medicaid money, which about 10 percent of its total budget.

How will the registration process work?
Registration takes place day of show, prior to each performance.
Beginning 3 hours before showtime, each eligible person who would like the opportunity to be selected to play will provide their first and last name and day of birth (0-31) to producers via registration cards which are given to eligible patrons by Venue staff.
There is no ticket purchase required to register to be a contestant, and will not be considered a factor in determining eligible contestants or in the contestant selection process. Registration closes precisely at the scheduled showtime.
Registration process for venue:
Card Distribution:
Producer will provide venue with blank registration cards. One card only is to be given to each eligible person by venue staff. Registration is to begin 3 hours prior to showtime. For ticket holders, registration cards are given out as they present their ticket upon entering venue. Each ticket is good for only one card, in the same manner that it is only good for one admission. For non-ticket holders who make it known that they wish to register (No Purchase Necessary), cards and pencils are made available and collected at the Venue box office, one per person. A hand stamp ( provided by Producers) is used to indicate that person has received registration card. A waiting area (to be determined per venue) is be provided for patrons who wish to register but do not have admission tickets . This area will only be needed until after names are randomly selected and cross referenced with individuals waiting. Anyone selected from these individuals will be invited into an open seat. Everyone else in the waiting area can be sent home.
Producers will setup 6' tables inside Venue lobby to distribute pencils and collect Registration Cards. One 8'x8' area is to be provided for each 500 expected patrons to the Venue.
Venue is to provide one person to staff each table and assist guests.
Card Collection:
Guests drop their cards into designated bins, and Producer collects the cards to conduct random drawing. If needed, additional collection bins may placed strategically inside venue.
Random Drawing Selection:
All contestants names are randomly drawn prior to start of show. If person selected as contestant is non-ticket holder, they will be brought inside the venue by producers to await their turn as contestant. Non-ticket holders not selected as contestants may then leave once the show has begun.
Will people be able to register before the night of the show?
Unfortunately not. All registration will open 3 hours prior to each show. People are encouraged to get there early to avoid lineups. Registration will remain open until the posted show time.
Will people be able to register more than one person at a time?
All contestants much register themselves. People will not be permitted to register additional people.
What is the procedure for someone who shows up to register but does not have a ticket?
By law, everyone who shows up and wants to register must be allowed to do so and have equal opportunity to be called down to be a contestant. If an individual registers and DOES NOT have a ticket to watch the show, they will be directed to a pre-determined location. All of the contestants are for the show are chosen at random as soon as registration closes. The names of all eligible registrants will be weighted equally, that is, no advantage shall be given to individuals who purchased a ticket over individuals that did not. If an individual who did not purchase a ticket is selected as a contestant, that person will be escorted to an open seat in the venue. Individuals who did not purchase a ticket and were not selected may leave the theater after the random drawing.
Do people need to be there 3 hours before the show in order to register?
It is ideal to arrive early, up to 3 hours, to avoid lineups, but registration will stay open until the posted show time. People may leave the theater after they have registered, but they must be present at the time of the drawing in order to be eligible.
When does the drawing take place?
The random drawing to determine show contestants will take place backstage during a 20 minute time period beginning at the posted show time. During that time the audience will be hearing the introduction to the show. All eligible contestants must be present at the time their name is called or they will be disqualified and another randomly selected name will be called. Eligible contestants who registered, but did not purchase a ticket will be informed in the waiting area in the first 20 minutes after the posted show time if they have been selected.
How do people collect their prizes if they win?
After someone wins a prize a producer will ask them to return to the front of the stage after the show where all the necessary paperwork will be done for the prizing. This takes place immediately following the show. The amount of time it takes depends entirely on the number of winners in a show. Usually not longer than 30 minutes to get through this process for the winners.
How are contestants selected for each show?
All contestants are selected entirely at random from the pool of registered contestants.
How old do you have to be to register?
You must be 19 years of age or older to be eligible to register to become a contestant.
Can you still go to the show if you are under age?
Absolutely. Anyone can buy tickets and watch the show. It's often a family affair, however only those 19 years of age or older can be eligible to be a contestant.
Who will be the host?
Todd Newton is scheduled to be the host. He recently won the Emmy for Best Game Show Host.
Is there a prize list available?
Prizes vary from show to show so no prize list is available, however the types of prizes are very similar to what you see on television. For example you may see a stainless steel fridge, pool table, cash prizes, and of course a car, etc.
How do Venues go about ordering t-shirts/name tages/etc? What all is available? What kind of cost?
Often as a promotional tool and to get their staff involved, venues will have their staff wearing Price is Right name tags and Price is Right T-shirts. Typically we would just provide you with the necessary logos to print your own T-shirts locally as we don't usually keep a large inventory and we can mail you name tags in advance if necessary. Otherwise the name tags can be given out the night of the show to staff. This really is a nice added touch that creates the right atmosphere and FOH staff typically loved to be part of it in this way.
