I'm working on creating my own personal set of photos of each of my dahila cultivars so that I can show people via the internet what cut flowers I have for sale but I'm having a hard time with some of my purples. I just cannot capture the subtle iridescence of Taboo or Purple Joy. They just come out looking more dark red and flat rather than the glowing purple sheen I see with my eyes. Does anyone have any ideas on how to capture a more accurate representation of these complex colors? I know how to set a custom white balance but that hasn't solved the problem. - Steve |

And while we're at it, does anyone know how to get the periwinkle color come out right? No matter what I try, that color always comes out more purple than it should, for me. |
- Posted by CCvacation none (My Page) on Wed, Jun 19, 13 at 0:29
The standard response to that is, do your picture taking on a cloudy day or at dusk. The most successful answer is, use a post imaging program that allows you to 'tweak' the color on the image to how it really looks to you, with the flower next to the monitor. Cheating? Well, yeah, but it works! |
- Posted by SouthCountryGuy SE BC 4b-5a (My Page) on Wed, Jun 19, 13 at 14:21
steve, a picture with the metadata would help. Hard to suggest what to try when we don't know what equipment you have, the camera settings or the conditions you took them under. How are you metering the light? Being more of a dark colour if you are letting the camera meter off the flower you may very well be over exposing causing the colours to wash out. As CC suggested try taking the picture either at dawn or dusk. Manually set your exposure (or try different exposure compensation settings) and use a diffused or bounced flash. You will need to experiment with the angle and strength. SCG |

I forget the technical details, but it has to do with the interaction between blue coloration in flowers and the ultraviolet in sunlight. Film had the same issues. Your camera does not respond to these effects the same way that your eyes and brain do. Taking pictures in shade (or dawn or dusk) will result in a blue that is truer to the actual color. If you experiment enough with degrees of shade and light angles, you should be able to capture a photo that looks like your plant, without retouching in photoshop. |
- Posted by steve22802 7a VA (My Page) on Wed, Jun 19, 13 at 22:44
Thanks for the suggestions. I tried photographing Taboo both outdoors early in the morning in soft indirect light and also indoors under artificial light. I set a custom white balance and tried various different exposures. I now have to wait for another bud to open to try again. By the way, the photo on the Swan Island site doesn't seem like a very accurate representation either. I found one on Dave's Garden that seems closer. (Image #166449) Perhaps one problem with trying to capture iridescence is that what you are trying to capture is a color that shifts when viewed from different angles. Obviously a photograph can only capture one fixed angle so perhaps it is just not possible to capture such subtlety in a fixed image. |

Looks like a good reason to buy a couple soft boxes and a couple more flashes!! |
This subject has been discussed on dahlia sites for very many years. Part of the problem that is never mentioned is that computer monitors need to be calibrated also. The deep purple color does not appear on a computer screen easily. We have two digital machines, the digital camera and the computer and monitor that must be in total sync. I have taken some better purple flower pictures with the sunlight coming from behind the bloom and shining through some of the outer florets. Carefully focus on the center of the bloom and set the camera to show the center clearly and even though the light coming through the florets may be |

Employees Who Don't Want to Improve. What's To Be Done? by Jessica Hodges
How do you jolt motivation into unmotivated employees? Chris Pascale of Kleer-Fax offer his unique and helpful perspective
How do you jolt motivation into unmotivated employees? Chris Pascale of Kleer-Fax offer his unique and helpful perspective
Do you usually order coffee to go? The next time you hit the coffee shop, make sure to bring your mug with you. The planet is drowning in disposable coffee cups, and one day that trusty mug is going to help us save the world.
Motivational posters can serve a purpose, especially at the office. When persevering through a drowsy, procrastinate-y day, it's usually the cheesy, cliche, coos of encouragement that get back on our feet.
Not to mention, there are a bunch of hip artists out there producing motivational prints that don't done bland pep words like "TEAMWORK" and "INSPIRE"….
Not everyone works a typical 9-5 in an office environment. For those of us who may telecommute or operate a business from home, it's important that the home office space has an air of professionalism. These office essentials will help get any home office space into shape, and keep you clutter and stress free!
The office is one of the easiest places for colds and illness to spread, because everyone is in such close proximity to each other. No one wants to be 'that person' who spread their germs to the entire office! Keeping these helpful aids at your desk can keep you feeling great all season long!
Coffee or tea? This is the predicament we face at least twice a day when filling up our mugs in the break room. A caffeine-addict, like myself, probably makes this decision in conjunction with his/her degree of exhaustion. If one is a zombie person, then one opts for a cuppa joe, but if one is simply looking to add some pep to one's step, then tea's the way to be.
Being that most of us rely on these caffeinated beverages to get us through the day, I thought it's probably worth knowing just how healthy coffee and tea actually are for us…
We all know drink ware is an absolute office necessity. If it weren't for that refillable water tumbler you keep in your desk drawer, you'd probably end your work day resembling something close to a dried out prune, but watch out people! The days of donning that sad, boring bottle are now officially ova!
Put your water bottle to work with features that suit your busy lifestyle. Here are some cool alternatives to your conventional canteen.

Yeah, I don't think I'd even want to test a sample of something with milk that's been sitting out at room temperature for weeks. This thread is frightening me.
"Science + beer = good!" -Adam Savage
That's like trying to make a Cream Ale with real cream... it's just the name. I prefer to call them "Sweet Stout" at any rate.
Thanks for the comments guys. I realise milk stout is not supposed to be made with real milk, but there are fermented milk drinks out there so I wanted to give it a try out of curiosity. Only kept milk in there 2 days in fear of spoiling without refrigeration - in short as suspected it didn't taste too good. Was thick and creamy but a very sour aftertaste, ended up down the sink. You could, I suppose, make a posset with beer (add warm cream and mulling spices) should you particularly want a diary beer.
I have been wondering this for a while, so I decided to go ahead and give it a try. I made chai latte ale with skim milk. I added the milk when I transfered the beer to secondary. I didn't want milk fat in my beer because I think it would ruin the head. I was a little concerned at first that maybe the protein in the milk would spoil, but the results are a delicious clear and creamy chai ale. The protein will curdle, but then it just precipitates out of the beer. Obviously their is a history to using milk in beer. I don't think they used lactose when milk stout was invented.
+1 Milk stouts weren't around that long. They've always been named that from the use of lactose, not from the use of milk in the beer. Use lactose. Save spoiled milk for the slags!
I've had kumis - Mongolian-style fermented milk. It was passable - kinda like drinking the liquid off the top of a tub of yogurt, with estery and alcohol notes. I like a good stout. I'd drink kumis again, if I run into some Mongolians (and the Mongolians have polished off all their other bevvies.) I wouldn't try mix the two.
HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!! I think the guy that fermented milk DIED.

At one cafe in central Cairo, almost no one believed the reports of Hosni Mubarak's death — nor did they care.
Analysis: The Supreme Council of Armed Forces' 11th-hour power grab shows the tumult of Egypt's attempt with democracy.
As many Egyptians vote in another round of presidential elections today, others are gearing up for another round of revolution.
Egypt's former president, Hosni Mubarak, has an irregular heartbeat and is slipping in and out of consciousness, according to his doctor.
The legitimacy of the Egyptian election is being attacked on multiple fronts.
For Egypt's revolutionaries, the presidential election is the stuff bad dreams are made of.

Anger over Egypt's surprising election results has spilled into the streets. It's now anyone's guess who will win the run-off.
Despite early signs of weakness, the Islamic group's vast grassroots network has led to strong preliminary results.
Egyptians are off to the polls, seeking to capitalize on the revolution that upended their country.
With elections this week, the deeply entrenched Supreme Council of the Armed Forces will not easily be knocked from its perch.
All Egyptians really care about is the economy. But the top candidates seem to have few solutions.
The debate showed the extent to which a new political openness had arrived in Egypt.

NEW DELHI: Former telecom cecretary Siddharth Behura, arrested for his alleged role in the 2G spectrum allocation scam along with former telecom minister A Raja on February two this year, was denied bail on Friday by the Delhi high court.
"The bail application is dismissed," Justice V K Shali told a jam-packed courtroom, pronouncing his judgement on Behura's bail plea.
Justice Shali, however, did not read out the operative portion of his order dealing with the grounds on which the former telecom secretary's bail plea was dismissed.

Cuc Vu, former child refugee from Vietnam, to head Seattle Office of Immigrant and Refugee Affairs
Mayor Ed Murray has named Cuc Vu to lead Seattle's Office of Immigrant and Refugee Affairs (OIRA), as the two-year-old office prepares to expand in response to an influx of refugees and immigrants.
A seasoned advocate for marginalized people, Vu first came to the United States as a child refugee. Her family narrowly escaped from Saigon on the last day of the Vietnam War, settling in Olympia, according to OIRA's website.
Vu served as chief diversity officer for Human Rights Campaign, a national LGBT advocacy group, and immigration campaign manager for the Service Employees International Union.
"She comes with a really strong awareness of immigrant rights, of workers' rights, of women's rights," said Rich Stolz, executive director of OneAmerica, an immigrant rights group.
Vu's experience with immigrants in a range of contexts, including LGBT rights and workers' rights, will come in handy, said Interim Director Aaliyah Gupta, who sat on the nine-member hiring committee that selected Vu from a pool of more than 100 applicants.
Immigrants and refugees make up one-fifth of Seattle's population, and they span all parts of Seattle life, Gupta said.
Created in 2012 with a budget of $238,000, the office is about to get a financial boost. Citing an influx of immigrants and refugees, Murray announced his intent in March to double OIRA's budget from $400,000 to $800,000.
The office is charged with making sure all city departments meet the needs of immigrants and refugees.
Often these needs are unique, said Stolz of OneAmerica. Supporting a business, for instance, may be especially difficult for Muslim immigrants, whose religion discourages them from taking on debt.
Even poverty is different for immigrants, Stolz said. Instead of living on the street, several families often cram into a single house. Mental illness is often ignored because of stigma, and people who have escaped oppressive governments are often afraid to ask authorities for treatment, he said.
Last year, members of OIRA noticed that immigrants weren't enrolling in a city program that provided low-income households discounted rates on their utility bills. To raise awareness of the program OIRA ran announcements on Spanish-language radio stations. At a community meeting to help people enroll in the program, 50 people said they had heard about the program on the radio, according to Ivonne Rivera Martinez, the office's ethnic media coordinator.
Now with four staff members, the office recently made a five-point action plan for the future. It includes plans to support immigrant businesses and get more refugee women involved in city government.

Qualcomm Stadium
Attendance: 57,286
San Diego, CA (Sports Network) - Ronnie Hillman ran for 191 yards and four touchdowns as the San Diego State Aztecs battled back to defeat the Washington State Cougars, 42-24, in non-conference action at Qualcomm Stadium.
Hillman, who became just the third player in SDSU history to record five straight 100-yard rushing games, carried the ball a total of 32 times for the Aztecs (3-0) as they moved to 3-0 to start a season for the first time since 1981. Quarterback Ryan Lindley converted 21-of-37 passes for 273 yards and two touchdowns of his own for the hosts as they won their fifth straight game overall.
The Cougars (2-1) were paced by quarterback Marshall Lobbestael who connected on 20-of-42 passes for 368 yards and three TDs, but he was also intercepted twice and sacked a total of six times in the team's first loss of 2011. Receiver Marquess Wilson reeled in five passes for a staggering 199 yards and two TDs. WSU managed to generate a mere 51 rushing yards on 28 attempts.
Washington State opened the game's scoring with an 80-yard TD strike from Lobbestael to Wilson on the team's first offensive play of the day.
Less than three minutes later the Aztecs responded with a 13-yard rushing touchdown by Hillman, capping a six-play, 53-yard drive to knot the score at 7-7.
With 5:18 remaining in the first frame the Cougars struck again, this time with a 48-yard field goal by Andrew Furney to make the score 10-7.
As the opening period came to a close it was Hillman again who took the lead for the home team as he found the end zone on a 12-yard run to give the Aztecs a 14-10 advantage.
The only points of the second quarter came courtesy of a 23-yard pass from Lobbestael to Isiah Barton, giving the Cougars a 17-14 edge at the break.
Washington State added to its advantage early in the third when Lobbestael and Wilson again hooked up, this time on a 78-yard TD pass play to make the score 24-14.
From there the game belonged to SDSU as Lindley hit Gavin Escobar with scoring passes of 25 and 21 yards in the third and fourth quarters, respectively. In between Hillman asserted himself with rushing TDs of one and 59 yards as the Aztecs ran away with the 18-point triumph.
Washington State, which entered the weekend ranked first in the nation in scoring with 61.5 ppg, had held its first two opponents (Idaho State and UNLV) to a combined 121 yards on the ground. Against the Aztecs the Cougars allowed 227 rushing yards and an average of more than five yards per attempt.

One of the most annoyingly tantalizing things about the lead-up to the release of Batman: Arkham City was seeing the steady stream of alternate outfits for the Dark Knight but knowing you couldn't get them all. Most were locked behind competing retailer preorder bonuses. Now those patient enough to wait for all of them to be sold in one package can finally have them all for a price. Watch the trailer to see just what you get…
Available now for $4.99/400 MS points on PSN, XBLA, and PC, the pack includes seven different costumes for Bruce Wayne to don. They include recent variations like Sinestro Corps, classic ones that pay tribute to the works of Neal Adams and David Mazuchelli, and even tributes to the classic animated Bat-franchises. We never had access to any of these, so we're pretty excited, but if you already have at least one of them, are you at all bothered to have to buy it again to get the other costumes?

Quality carp is easy to recognize. Fresh carp never smells fishy, and the eyes should appear bright and clear, almost alive. The gills should be reddish, and the skin moist and with tightly adhering, shiny scales. Fresh carp flesh will give slightly when you press it with a finger, then springs back into shape. When choosing carp steaks or fillets, whether they're fresh or previously frozen, look for moist, translucent (never dried out) flesh.
Edible carp are all the same genus and species, Cyprinus carpio, although some selectively bred fish are known as King carp. The domestic Mirror carp and Chinese Hi-goi are named for the quality of their scales, as their taste varies little. Recently introduced varieties include the Bighead grass, which has fewer bones. Carp is available live, fresh, or frozen, either split lengthwise or filleted.

POSTED: Wednesday, April 11, 2012 - 10:00am
UPDATED: Wednesday, April 11, 2012 - 10:14am
Longview, TX — Longview VFW Post 4002 — one of the oldest and once one of the largest VFW posts in Texas — may close its doors Thursday, forced to surrender its charter.
The problem isn't membership.
With 476 members, Longview Post 4002, at 401 Ambassador Row, is still considered one of the largest in the state.
"The problem is, we don't have enough members who want to serve," said former Post Commander Joe Crenshaw.
"Members on paper and active members who want to serve are two different things," said the aging Korean War veteran, who served three terms as VFW Post 4002 commander.

Tossing Out the Tossed Salad
With a biracial president in the White House, as well as gender and ethnic diversity on the Supreme Court, it's clear that diversity and multiculturalism are important values for Americans.
But regionalism and states' rights are also fundamental values of the U.S., and for good reason: States can be as different from each other as the U.S. is as a whole from other countries. Those differences apply to the demographics of the local population as well. Previously, MainStreet looked at the most diverse states in the U.S. Now, we use the same methodology to look at the least diverse.
To compare the diversity of all states in the union and Washington, D.C., we looked at the least recent figures from the American Community Survey (2009) and compared three-year averages for each state's white population (based on the size of the nonwhite population), foreign-born population (to get the population from other countries regardless of race) and mixed-race population (based on people who claimed two or more races).
The combination of all three rankings determined a state's position on this list. We count down from 10 to one, so read to the end to find the least diverse state in the U.S.

Annapolis Takes Up Gambling Expansion in August
By Don Rush
ANNAPOLIS, Md. (AP) - Gov. Martin O'Malley has called for a special session to expand gambling in Maryland to begin in about two weeks.
O'Malley said at a news conference Friday in Annapolis with House Speaker Michael Busch and Senate President Thomas V. Mike Miller that the session will begin on Aug 9. O'Malley says expanded gambling will create more revenue and jobs for the state.
Efforts to expand gambling in the regular session collapsed in the final hours in April. A work group that was convened last month to address the issue failed to reach a consensus.
Plans call for allowing table games such as poker at Maryland casinos and a new casino site in Prince George's County.
Voters would ultimately have to approve an expansion of gambling.

10.28.04 - Kostya Tszyu: It is great to be here. It is great to be back in the States. Everything has gone well and this is the beginning of winter. The weather is so beautiful. I am pleased, after a long time, to be coming back and I will try to put on the best show I can. I want to thank SHOWTIME again for supporting me for many years. Question: How much of a concern is it to come back and defend your title without having fought for so long? Was there ever any consideration to taking a tune-up fight? Not at all. I am satisfied and I do not want to have any tune-up fights. I am always able to outperform myself mentally and physically. I have been in the gym all the time and I can say I have had good preparation and good fighting preparation with great sparring. I am sharp. I am living a very healthy life and I do not think I need any tune-up fights. Do you think that Sharmbas inability to finish the fight the first time will have an impact in this fight from a mental standpoint? I am just hoping that he is in great form and this particular time we will have no questions and that the best man is going to win. There will not be any excuses for either of us. I know I will not have any excuses for me. I am in the best form. I believe he is in the best form. Now, we need to see who the best fighter in the world is now. A lot of people thought Trinidad looked even better than he had previously after his lengthy layoff. Do you feel you will be able to fight at a similarly high level? I believe so. Felix fought a tremendous fight against a very dangerous opponent and he did what he was supposed to do because he is at a different level. I believe I am at the same level as Felix Trinidad. Sharmba is a great boxer, one of the best, but we need to prove that we are in a lead group. Is it a concern fighting a guy who uses speed, quickness and movement in being able to find him given that you have not been in the ring for a long time? As I said, I do not feel any concern with my form. That is the reason why I am taking this fight. Whatever is going to be will be. It will be (my) plan against (his) plan and I am very confident with myself. We will see what will happen on the day of the fight. Do you feel you need to have a dominant performance and a decisive victory to prove to your detractors that you are still the champion that you were two years ago? I need to do my best and that is what I am planning to do. Boxing is a funny thing. It depends on how you feel the day of the fight. I am preparing hard and I am ready for this fight. There are no excuses why I should not produce the best show I can. That is why I am here and that is what is motivating me to do my job. How do you answer those critics who say your layoff will be bad for you? I do not need to prove anything by talking. I will prove to them by doing something (in the ring). That is why all the critics will change their view after the fight. I will tell them that the layoff does not concern me off. Actually, it was not a layoff. It was an unfortunate happening. Everything happens for a reason in life and even though I did not fight, I have been in the gym. You have been boxing as a pro since 1992; how much longer do you think you can stay at the top? I always take it a fight at a time and I always go over things with myself after fights. I am always looking at what kind of desire I have before each fight. When I finish this fight, I will come home and have a little rest and then think about the future. Because I am in a great form all the time, even when not fighting, it all depends on how much I want to do it and we will see after the fight. From 1995 on, you fought about two to three times a year. Do you think that plays a big part in your longevity in boxing? Probably, because I am fresh. And even at 35, I am still fresh. I only had 32 fights as a professional. I am living a healthy life. I have a family. And that is why my career can go so long without any problem. Where and how did you develop your unique punching technique? You punch very straight. The punching pattern comes from your head. You have to practice thousands and thousands of times every single day. I am a perfectionist at anything I do in life, and to get this punching pattern or punching accuracy, you have to just practice millions of times until you can feel in your head that you have done perfect. Does it bother you that while you were injured and unable to fight that the IBF named Sharmba Mitchell the Interim World Champion? No. I think it is a fair way. In some way, I can see (where) it would be a little unfair because I did not fight for a long time and the organization did not have a champion. I believe they put the Interim Champion in knowing that when the real champion was ready, they could meet and find out who the real champ is. I do not mind this. But with all this other stuff, like the Super Champion, it is difficult to understand. I think we need to go to only one champion. And at the end of the day, I am who I am and Nov. 6 we will see completely who the champion in this division is. Is there any real personal animosity between you and Mitchell? I believe it is nothing personal between us because we do not know each other and we do not spend much time together and we live in different countries. Everything about the business now is trying to prove who the best fighter in the world is. The best way is not talking, but doing it. So in the ring, we will see what is going on. Do you typically study films and have you studied films of Sharmbas fights and, if so, what can you tell us that you have learned that might be any different in terms of how you are going to present yourself this time around? Of course, I study fights a lot. I did look at all his last fights against everybody and I know his strengths. I am not going to go over special tactics or special strategy for the fight. I have seen that he did change a bit. He does not really like to move too much now. But again, it is against somebody else and not against me. And it will be a different story against me. It really is hard to say and think what exactly you are going to do because a fight is a fight. You are planning one thing and then in the ring everything will change. You have to prepare two or three different plans and one of them will work. Do you feel this time around that you will not have to deal with his speed and movement as much? I am ready for everything. If he wants to mix it up with me, great. If he on the run from me, excellent. If he want to charge and push me back, again, beautiful. Whatever is going to be done, I do have some plans prepared for everything. In your intensive training, have you changed anything? There is always something different. You cannot have exactly the same approach all the time. You have to have some variation of your movement, variation of your plan. You cannot step in the same rerun twice, you have to make adjustments. What was it like in the two years that you were not able to fight? It was a little frustrating, but here is another thing worth mentioning: Everything that happens in life, I try to turn into my favor. Otherwise, life would get boring. This particular time, again, I just kind of looked for fun with my family, with my kids and my little daughter, who got to know and see what was happening with her father. Everything happens in life, as I said, it happens for a reason. How many kids do you have? I have three. They are 10, seven and two. What do you think about Ricky Hatton as a possible opponent in the future? Ricky Hatton is a good fighter, a very exciting fighter, with big popularity in his homeland. I will look at it this way what people want, what people demand, that is what will make it. If SHOWTIME is going to be happy because they have to play a big role in this, then we will make the fights happen. How do you feel about Ricky Hatton stating if he was your next fight, his pressure would break you down? He believes so. He is a young fighter with tremendous pressure. I am not looking past one fight at a time. If it is going to happen, and he is going to be the No. 1 contender for my IBF title, then we will see. If everything goes well, then we will fight and we will see. In your career, you have fought so many more quality opponents than Hatton. Does it bother you when you hear guys demanding fights with you and talking in the media like apparently Hatton has been doing? I am sure Ricky wants to fight, but it is not his problem. His promoter has done a good job for him to try to get the money for himself because he is always packing the stadium in Manchester without fighting anybody. It seems like that one of the problems with boxing is that guys like that can fight nobodies and then demand to fight the undisputed champion. Shouldnt there have to be some proving ground where they have to beat somebody in the top five or top 10 to prove that they are worthy of fighting the undisputed champion? Maybe, but it is very hard to make that as a rule because, first of all, the promoters are going to be against it. In the first Sharmba fight, it became kind of a wrestling match because of all the holding that Sharmba did. How will you react this time if Sharmba comes out to you and holds you in the fight as he did in the first one. I will have to pull myself and be ready for it. If he is going to hold, he holds. Who do you think has the mental edge coming into the second fight? I think I have the bigger mental edge because I know what I am capable of doing. I know Sharmbas fast. In looking at all his fights, he is always fast in the first four or five rounds and then he slows down. I do not like to slow down. I usually put more and more pressure on as the fight progresses. I know I am ready to fight for 15 rounds if I need to in a very high pressure fight. Do you remember feeling a change in Sharmba when you started to get to him a little bit more in the middle rounds? Of course. I think after the fourth round, in the fifth, sixth and seventh rounds, I completely dominated him and was when he started to slow and his reactions slowed. How important is it to you to live by a family lifestyle and is being a devoted family man a big part of your success? I believe so. When you have great people behind you, who you can rely on 100 percent, it is so important. It makes anything you do in life that much easier. As I said, I have a great family. I have some good friends who are like my family, who I can trust 100 percent and that is very important when you have people like that behind you. Do you think that the lifestyle that you live outside the ring can affect your life inside the ring? It has helped me to maintain my training regime. I am 35 and I am still fighting without any problem. Does your wife attend your fights? No, not anymore. She has not attended one for a long time. She does not even watch my fights. Usually, when the broadcast starts, she goes for a long walk. When the fight is over, we have many people in the house watching the fight, but she just waits for the phone call saying that the fight is over and she can come and watch it on the replay. Does she just get too nervous? Probably. And I understand why, especially when the person who she loves is not having the best time in the ring. It is not an easy time in the ring. And she is just not interested to see that. Does your oldest child go into the gym and would you encourage him to go into boxing? I am not encouraging him to do anything. But I will always support him in whatever decision he makes. He is playing very good soccer right now and he is very athletic himself. Provided that you come through the Mitchell fight without injury, how many times would you like to fight in 2005 and how soon would you like to fight again? It all depends on how the fight will go this time and how much desire I have for the next one. But if everything goes well, I would love to fight a bit more often next year, maybe two or three fights possibly. . Closing Comments. I am ready, 22 months has been very long for me and I just cannot wait to step in the ring and try to do my best. I am a prizefighter who is willing to show all my best things in the ring. I do not want to talk too much. I want to show my business in the ring. Two of boxings most talented pound-for-pound fighters will square off in a highly anticipated rematch when International Boxing Federation (IBF) Super 140-Pound Champion Kostya Tszyu defends his title against Interim IBF Junior Welterweight Champion Sharmba Mitchell Saturday, Nov. 6, 2004, on SHOWTIME CHAMPIONSHIP BOXING. In the co-feature, World Boxing Organization (WBO) Junior Featherweight Champion Joan Guzman will defend his title for the second time when he takes on WBO No. 13 contender Marcos Licona. SHOWTIME will televise both world title fights from the Glendale Arena in Phoenix, Ariz., at 9 p.m. ET/PT. (delayed on West Coast). Millenium Events Inc., in association with Gary Shaw Productions, LLC, will present the fight card.

Dalton Ross' ''Unan1mous'' decision: It st1nks!
No one and I mean no one loves cheesy reality television more than I do. Married by America? Watched every episode. The Family? Worshiped it. (Poor Dawn Marie.) Paradise Hotel? Checked in every week. (Poor anyone who ever appeared on that show.) So naturally when I heard about the concept for Fox's Unan1mous nine people locked in a bunker together with a $1.5 million purse waiting just outside I was jacked. It would be ridiculous exploitation, I figured, and it would be genius. Turns out I was right on the former and waaaaaaaaaaay off on the latter. Unan1mous just feels wrong, starting with the very title. Along with CBS' Numb3rs, there seems to be some sort of movement afoot to put numerals in TV show titles. Well, 2 be blunt, it's really ann0y1ng and lam3. What, is Prince suddenly programming network television schedules? And, if so, should I go out and buy a purple TV set and expect to see lots of Apollonia 6 videos?
The first batch of Unan1mous contestants just might be the most unlikable group of reality rabble-rousers ever. They include a mental patient (and when I say ''mental patient,'' I mean a bona fide mental patient, as in has done time in a loony bin and is still cuckoo for Cocoa Puffs); a person who pretended to have testicular cancer, to gain favor (yeah, live strong dude!); and a Bible-thumper who was kind enough to tell one of the contestants that he is basically going to hell because he is gay. These people, frankly, are vile. And that's not to say they make good villains, either. They're just plain grating. But Unan1mous' awfulness doesn't stop there. The host looks like some sort of dorkifed version of Seth Green (I realize that may sound redundant to some), and the production values are beyond hokey. Yet millions of people are watching this show. Of course, that's because they've all just heard Ryan Seacrest crush some aspiring singer's dreams of fame and fortune on American Idol and are simply too lazy to change the channel, but seriously, shouldn't that excuse have died with the invention of the remote control? I mean, how difficult is it to press a freakin' button?!? Hell, my limited attention span forces me to skip around every single commercial break, not to mention if 30 seconds of a program pass without a couple making out, something blowing up, or a model being handed a piece of paper by Tyra Banks. All I'm saying, America, is that there have been much better bad reality shows than Unan1mous. And, God willing, there will continue to be as well.
I don't need to tell you that I'm a geek you know that already. But what some of you may not know is that I am a big-time football geek as well. Every Sunday from September through December, I abandon my wife and children and disappear into some god-awful New Jersey sports bar to watch my beloved Washington Redskins (also known as The Team With the Most Offensive Name in Sports) go throw a little brown ball around for three hours. I'm not proud of this. It's just who I am. So, yes, I actually was excited when the NFL announced the 2006 schedule last Thursday. Me and my buddies sent around little e-mails dissecting each Skins game for 2006 you know, pure dork stuff. But there is a line of dork even I will not cross. ESPN presented a two-hour NFL schedule special to mark the occasion two hours!!! What the hell could there have been to discuss for two freakin' hours? ''Well, Mike, let me tell you, that Cardinals–Lions matchup in week 11 sure looks like a doozy.'' ''You got that right, Joe. Football will definitely be played by those two teams on that day.'' Again two hours! I am officially obsessed with America's obsession with football. (Oh, and go Skins!)
Saturday Night Live has never met a joke or sketch it didn't want to milk into the ground. In that grand tradition, I present:
The Top 5 Worst Movies Inspired by Saturday Night Live Skits
1) It's Pat!: The Movie
Well, considering how much It's Pat: The Skit sucked, you can only imagine how awful this is.
2) Stuart Saves His Family
That SNL sketch where Stuart helps Michael Jordan get his confidence back? Funny. But instead of MJ, this movie features Laura San Giacomo. Not really the fairest of trade-offs.
3) Blues Brothers 2000
Mission from God? More like a mission from hell.
4) Superstar
Mary Katherine Gallagher insists on sniffing her fingers, although I'm not quite sure why, because everything about this fiasco smells like crap.
5) Coneheads
Aykroyd strikes again! A repeat offender! And Lord knows Sinbad showing up certainly doesn't help matters. I can't believe this is only fifth.
Wow, a lot of you out there listen to really crappy music. This was evident by the thousands (warning: I'm embellishing the number here to make myself sound cooler than I really am) of responses to last week's list of Top 5 Heavy Metal Power Ballads of All-Time. Here are a few of the other suggestions you all offered up:
''Home Sweet Home,'' by Motley Crue
''Nobody's Fool,'' by Cinderella
''Sister Christian,'' by Night Ranger
''Forever,'' by KISS
''Sweet Child of Mine,'' by Guns N' Roses
''Patience,'' by Guns N' Roses
''I Used to Love Her,'' by Guns N' Roses
''Winds of Change,'' by the Scorpions
''No One Like You,'' by the Scorpions
''Diamnods and Rust,'' by Judas Priest
''Alone Again,'' by Dokken
''Mama Said,'' by Metallica
''Hero of the Day,'' by Metallica
''I Remember You,'' by Skid Row
''Here I Go Again,'' by Whitesnake
''More Than Words,'' by Extreme
''Always,'' by Bon Jovi
''Black Lodge,'' by Anthrax
''I Could Have Been a Dreamer,'' by Dio
''Watch the Children Pray,'' by Metal Church
''Sleep,'' by Savatage
''Forever Free,'' by WASP
I should start by mentioning that I have no idea who Savatage is...but I absolutely love the name. ''I Remember You'' received the most nominations, but I stand by my Skid Row selection of ''18 & Life.'' It's also interesting and might I add, heartening that nobody nominated Warrant's ''Heaven.'' (I do have a soft spot for ''Uncle Tom's Cabin,'' however.) Anyway, I look forward to any and all comments about this week's List. On to other e-mails...
I noticed in your rant on CGI films that you never mentioned Shrek. Do you hold it in some trophy-case/pedestal above all other animated films, or did you just have an honest lapse in memory? Adam Carlson
Adam, you are one of several people who wrote in asking my thoughts on Shrek. I liked the first one enough, but thought the second one was just a long, extended pop-culture parody. It was lazy as hell and generally pointless. Dude, I think we just smashed the pedestal!
While I think that you are making a really valid point, I suggest you watch The Incredibles quite possibly the best CGI film ever, and it wasn't about animals or returning babies. But just a really great movie overall. dmac
Well, dmac if that is even your real name I couldn't agree more. While it did kind of disturb me seeing parents bring their 3-year-olds to a very violent film that dealt with such adult topics as suspected marital infidelity, there is no question that The Incredibles was a CGI film that truly set itself apart. Wish there were more like it.
My boyfriend and I have had a drinking game for 24 all season... ''Establish/Set up/Organize a perimeter.'' Gets you goofy every ep, I promise. Emily
Nice one, Emily! Combine your 24 drinking game with my 24 drinking game and we make one pretty pathetic pair of alcoholics. Bottoms up!
What is your opinion of Prison Break, the highly addictive yet farfetched Fox show? Ryan David Padgett
I know I may be in the minority on this one, but I think Prison Break just might be the most overrated thing on television. I love the concept, but think the execution and writing are just plain sloppy. Most of the characters are cliché composites of inmates from previous films and TV programs, and the storylines are often almost laughable. I guess what this show needs is a good drinking game.
That's all for now, Send in your questions, quibbles, and musings either in the form below or to email@example.com, and I'll tackle some more next week.

Cadillac DTS Electrical Issues
jteiber Posts: 1I have been experiencing continuing electrical problems with my 2006 DTS. At three months, the AC failed. The dealer told me that it was working again when the technician checked it out, and no problems could be found with the system. At six months, the car was stone dead sitting in my garage. ( I drive it everyday). Got it jumped by AAA and took it to the dealer. After three days, they couldn't find anything wrong--but replaced the battery. At 10,000 miles, the car stopped in its tracks on the way to work. On star also failed. Got it restarted after a five minute delay. Took it to the dealer again (where it is now). No dash lights, and the doors wouldn't unlock when I got to the dealorship. Also the gas mileage is terrible. Any other experiences like mine???
chefcct Posts: 7I have good news. My 2006 dts car wouldn't start again the other day and the service writer found a TSB that addresses my problem. It is technical service bulletin number 1906368. My vin matches up to cars that need to have the body control module reprogrammed.
Give this info. to your dealer. This hopefully should fix your problems. -
caddyfreak Posts: 4My one side of the rear heated seat won't turn on. The rear power control module(behind seatback), both top and bottom seat cushion elements, the LR door module and heater switch on/off button test ok. Power in feed wires (orange) and fuses are ok. Power is on to the rear control power module at the blue plug-in connector( orange wires behind seat back). Still no current flow to either of the elements. I'm pretty electrical but I'm stumped here. Right side of rear seat heater circuit works fine. Tried checking grd distribution but it does seem to be grounded ok.
conked Posts: 14Back in December I gave the dealer the TSB number you suggested. He scratched his head and said something like, "this might apply...we'll check it out." When I got the car back the repair statement says "TSB 1906368-program remote entry key system to body control module and reprogram tire sensors to body module."
I don't know if that had anything to do with the dead battery but we've been to Dallas twice and Denver once since then and have had absolutely no more dead battery issues. -
conked Posts: 14I had front seat heater problems with an earlier DTS, a 2000 model. In one case the seat element went open but I assume you checked for that. In the other cases, twice, the module was bad. If you have power to the module when the seat heater is ON and the element has continuity but no current flow, then given everything else you've checked, the problem almost has to be in the module, doesn't it? Fortunately, our 2006 DTS has not had this problem. Good luck with sleuthing this problem.
caddyfreak Posts: 4definitely not rear seat power module as left and right can be interchanged (so can L and R rear door modules) and still no power flow to left seat heaters. I did a complete interchange of the modules and both work fine on opposite side of car. I would like to know color code of wire(s) that needs to be "hot" to turn elements on at the power module end. Orange is needed but there must be some others. I am thinking of a wiring break in the harness is possible.
conked Posts: 14Are the color codes on the left and right rear sides the same? If so, and the R side is working, you could check the voltages on the R and see how they differ from the L under HIGH, MED, LOW, and OFF conditions.
A break in the wiring harness is a possibility but usually don't see that until the car gets much older and the insulation gets stiff...usually breaks frist occur where the harness exits the door and enters the body---you probably already know all this.
I've also seen corrosion inside a connector cause failures but usually exercising the plug fixes that, at least temporarily. You did say you checked the continuity of the in-seat element, right? -
caddyfreak Posts: 4
conked Posts: 14I spoke too soon. Wednesday July 30 we drove the car for an hour or so and parked it at 1 p.m. in our garage. At 6 p.m. we were planning to leave and the battery was dead again. Cadillac Roadside Assistance said that no dealers have technician service any more in the St. Louis metro area and all they could do is call someone to jump start the car or tow it to the dealer. I jumped it myself on Thursday morning, drove to the dealer and they're telling me once again that they can find nothing wrong with any systems or with the battery. This is very disturbing. :confuse:
conked Posts: 14It isn't as if I've never worked on cars. In fact, I've worked on them since the 1960s, even changing out engines, and rebuilding transmissions. I just thought that a Cadillac service facility should be able to find and repair whatever was causing this problem. But after the last incident I decided to roll up my sleeves and go to work. I thought that I might find corrosion under a crimp hidden by heat-shrink so I decided to solder all the cables coming off the battery and going to the under seat and under hood fuse modules. In the process, what I found, was a bad ground at the floor under the back seat. The ground cable, which is common to all the electrical systems in the car, is attached to the floor with a plated screw, but in this case the screw mates with a threaded hole that had the same paint job as the outside of the car, and the ground terminal sits on the painted floor with no "star washer" under it to bite into the chassis. Checking from the battery end of the cable to ground points around the car gave ohmmeter readings all over the map. So I ground the paint off the chassis under the ground terminal and put it back together with a big star washer under the terminal. I'm hoping this will solve the problem.
sharon26 Posts: 5My mother's 2007 DTS has not experieced any problems with it starting, but she has experieced it cutting off in traffic (!) at least 5 times. After the first 3 tim;es, the dealer kept it for 10 days only after my mother said she did not want it back - they did not find anything wrong, except that some codes were missing related to the brakes???? (GM even came to "investigate", but refused to talk to my mother!) They fixed the codes, then she took the care in about 3 months later for the regular oil/maintenace and to have them look at some vibrating that she was feeling in the front end, and they discovered that the brake pads were worn. They fixed them, but then she experieced the car cutting off while driving 2 more times. The dealer and GM have not resolved the problem and basically tried to make it sound like it is something my Mother is doing while driving??? My parents have been Cadillac owners for 50+ years, but this is the last one! To make matters worse, the salesman talked her into leasing the car and she has no options until the lease is up! So much for customer service!
caddylvr Posts: 1Hello, I know the exact part that you will need to resolve your problem. It's called a Crankshaft sensor. I have a 2003 DTS and this was happening to me sporadically usually at stop lights or when I would come to a complete stop. Lindsey's Cadillac, which is the dealer in my area, could not find the problem. Fortunately a friend of mines had the same symptoms with his DTS and he visited a Caddy forum in which someone told him to get a Crankshaft sensor. I believe the part was roughly $60 bucks. I paid $70 or so in labor. Never had the issue since. I didn't even take it to the dealer to replace the part, I used a local Midas in the area that knew GM cars and they replaced it for nearly a fraction of what the dealer was charging. Good luck, and I am 100% sure this will resolve your Mom's DTS issue.
vic10 Posts: 188Here's a new one for you: Saw a streaming leak in my driveway just after pulling into the garage. Then noted a puddle under the car: Red, oily liquid. Called the dealer who had it towed in. The fluid was from the power steering. Per the maintenance write-up: A return line had a hole burned in it from contact with a battery cable. Wonder how many of the dead battery episodes are due to the battery grounding out to some part of the car.....
acp60 Posts: 6I have a Cadillac 2006 DTS. If I don't drove the
car for 7 days the batter dies. I have had 3 new batteries installed, numerous visits to the dealer and each time I get the same answer, "we checked everything and we don't find any problems". After reading all the the similar complaints on line how is it that GM can't come
up with a resolution. Plus the battery is located under the rear passenger seat. Brilliant
design. Is there any reason the tax payers should loan GM any money. They need to be allowed to fail and thus survival of the fitist -
cadyman Posts: 3I HAVE 2006 DTS BOUGHT IT USED. HAD 17000MLS ON IT. I HAVE HAD A DEAD BATTERY PROBLEM WITH THIS CAR SINCE JAN 2008 TO THE RECENT ONE ON JULY 3 2009.THEY PUT NEW BATTERY IN FIRST TIME CHECKED EVERYTHING OUT ,SAID THEY COULDN'T FIND NO PROBEMS.SECOND TIME THEY SAID THEY FOUND LOSE GROUND WIRE,(I DON'T THINK SO). THEYCHECKED EVERYTHING AGAIN.JULY 2009 HAD TO CALL ROAD SIDE FOR JUMP. I DIDN'T BRING CAR IN YET. HAS ANYONE HAD THIS PROBLEM WITH THERE DTS

kenb757 Posts: 149So any pending buybacks under the lemon law are no longer valid if started or settled before Friday? I know the accident lawsuits that were placed before bankruptcy, both settled and pending are now against the "bad" GM. And good luck in that, as there are very few assets there. Wonder if you can withdraw and subsequently refile?
merkowner Posts: 3I have a 2002 dts with 60000 miles that I purchased a month ago with a clean car fax. I drove it for a month problem free.One day the car would not , start so I jump started it and got it to the mechanic . He said I need a new battery He installed it and on the way home I stopped at a store when I tried to start it it would not start so I jumped it and got it back to mechanic Any Ideas as to why it wont start even with a new battery ?
Mr_Shiftright CaliforniaPosts: 46,212So you say he put in a new battery, you drove a short distance, it would not start, BUT you were able to jump start it?
Then the new battery isn't any good or the cables are corroded or loose.
If you had a bad alternator, even a jump start wouldn't have gotten you going very far.
Maybe he didn't charge the battery properly prior to selling it to you.MODERATOR --Need help with anything? Click on my name!
conked Posts: 14I had a similar problem with a 2006 DTS and found the trouble to be a poor ground from the negative side of the battery at the floor under the back seat. The floor and the threaded hole where the cable is attached had the same paint finish as the exterior of the vehicle so the ground would come and go. This also caused strange charging voltage fluctuations on the instrument panel battery voltage indicator. Once I cleaned the paint off the floor and put a star washer under the cable end, the problem disappeared.
conked Posts: 14Anyone with a similar problem--if the ground cable looks good you might also check the connection at the engine module, under the hood. A mechanic friend of mine works for a local Buick/GMC dealership and indicated that they occasionally see corrosion at the engine module (positive) cable from the battery. Cut back the heat shrink at both ends of the cable (under the seat and under the hood) and be sure there is no corrosion under the heat shrink or under the terminal connections. On my 2006 DTS one end of the positive cable was crimped, the other end crimped and soldered. The ground was crimped and soldered at the battery end but not at the chassis end. I ended up soldering all of the cables at both ends: ground cable, engine module cable, and the smaller body module (under the back seat) cable. Never had a problem after doing all that.
cadyman Posts: 3CADDYMAN HERE I HAVE BEEN DEALING WITH THE SAME PROBLEM SINCE JAN 2007. DEAD BATTERY THREE TIMES. I WENT TO A LOCAL DEALER THE 3 TIMES IT HAPPENED. I DECIDED TO TAKE THE CAR BACK WHERE I BOUGHT IT.AND LET THEM CHECK IT OUT.THEY REPAIRED SEAT MODULES. REPROGRAMMED DOOR MODULE AND RAN UPDATE. THEY SAID THEY WERE NOT SET WRIGHT.ITS ONLY BEEN A MONTH. WILL SEE WHAT HAPPENS.
usabravo Posts: 32006 DTS Performance with 11,600 miles. Went into the store and came out turned key to start position and light on dash went on and nothing happened--car would not start, no clicking, no nothing. Half of the electrical seemed to work. Door locks and windows would not work nor keyless remote. Dash was displaying messages such as service parking assist, service air bag, left rear door open. Tow truck was called and battery was in fine condition, DTS towed to Cochran Cadillac Pittsburgh. While removing car from flatbed tow driver turned key and vehicle started. Dealer checked it out and said there was a loose ground.
I took vehicle home all fine for about 30 miles running around town. Park in drive way on 10 degree slop and came back in the morning turned key and nothing happened same as before. Tried several starts within an hour after--nothing. Tow truck arrived again and this time driver tried starting the car--and it started!! Not consistent. Took vehicle to dealer and all the bad codes are back again (cleared on the first repair) and they are stumped because the vehicle starts and they cannot duplicate the problem. Any suggestions............... -
conked Posts: 14I had the exact same issue several times on my 06 DTS. Here is what I did that seemed to have solved the problem. Disconnect cable from battery to ground. Clean paint off floor around ground connection. Cut heat shrink away from negative and both positive cables at battery, other end of positive cable at module under rear seat, and positive cable at engine module (passenger side under hood). Soldered the crimped connection at each of these cable ends and taped the heat shrink back on (this requires a pretty stout soldering iron because the cables are rather large). Clean all connections with contact cleaner. Reinstall all the positive cables and reinstall ground cable at floor with a star washer under the cable. After doing all these things I never had the problem again.
usabravo Posts: 3Dealer claims this is not the problem and that General Motors tech. is now saying it is somehow tied into the Onstar module. They are going to disconnect the module and want me to drive the vehicle, and if it corrects the problem they will replace the Onstar module. If not it is back to the drawing board. The problem is, as you know, if the vehicle does not start it must be towed each and every time--a jump does absolutely nothing as the battery is in great shape!

Review by
Jake from North Platte, NE
I owned 2 of these 13" W1's. In had them in my 95 Suzuki Sidekick (P.O.S.), and i had them hooked up to a crappy walmart sony 1000 watt amp and they pounded like hell. I was driving to the store and this kid from school was a block ahead of me and he said that he could feel the bass vibrating his hair. I strongly recommend this sub. I LOVE JL Audio. They are the best of the best.
