Fly Fishing Report: Deckers and Cheesman Canyon October 4th
Fall fly fishing has finally arrived in Colorado! With the recent rain event behind us, it is great to see a more regular weather pattern developing here in the Front Range. The flows on the main stem of the South Platte River were all over the place in September - yet the river fished extremely well. Flows were as low as 50 and as high as 300+ and the river has settled down to 154 out of Cheesman Reservoir through the Deckers area. The water clarity right now is...
Special Update On The Dream Stream
Below is an update from the Division of Wildlife regarding the stream flows between Spinney and Eleven Mile Reservoir. This is the Charlie Meyers State Wildlife Area (AKA "The Dream Stream"). At the time of this publication (10/4/13), this section of the South Platte River was running at 34.3 CFS well below historic averages.

Brickhead Part II
QUINTANA ROO, Mexico - The year: 1982. The month: March. The day: Thursday, the 25th.
Over a year had passed and he still had not caught a permit. What had started out a mild curiosity had blossomed into a distant fascination. Permit were a magnetic enigma - their behavior vexing and alluring all at the same time. From there, things morphed into what Isaha, his closest associate and now fishing partner, called an unhealthy obsession.

If you or someone you know has been on the fence and thinking about giving fly fishing a try, this class provides a great baseline and foundation.
Issues on the Fryingpan River?
The Aspen Daily News is reporting potential issues on the Fryingpan River near Basalt, CO and a multi-pronged assessment by the Roaring Fork Conservancy to better understand what is going on. The initial alarm was raised by fly fishing guides on the river.
"When the first reports started to trickle in about something unusual on the Fryingpan River, Sharon Clarke thought a few fishermen were simply having bad days on the river. The hatches were occurring below the Ruedi...

The Season of the EGG is Upon Us Yet Again
With the Fall Spawn in full swing, it's time to replenish your egg inventory before heading out for a day on the water. In recent years the "peg egg" has become a big hit in the Rocky Mountain West, with many anglers finding this method of fishing eggs to be far more productive then their "furry" counterparts, in addition to being more friendly on the fish. Few people know more about the benefits of fishing this method than are friends up North at Alaska...

I found a great corded motion activated light switch for my gun safe at LOWES.http://www.lowes.com/pd_358709-207-MLC12BCL_0__?productId=3531126 $21 and change.It was real easy to set up. I used rope lighting for my safe lights. I installed the rope lighting in the front of my safe in a recessed area around the door. You cannot see the rope light, only its light shining into the safe. Works great. Now, when I open my safe the inside light comes on automatic. I set it to go off 1 min after closing. All you do is install the motion detector, plug in your light system to the base and you are in business. You can put the sensor anywhere you want. I put mine under the top shelf on the back of the safe facing the door.

Guns are afraid of the dark, so leave the light on for them. Regular 15w light bulb. Burns off the moisture.
I have two little white stick LED lights that run on batteries. They have a small base and the light itself is held on by a magnet. A quick push of a button and 2 of them light up my 55 gun safe just right. I will open it in the evening and turn the lights on and just look at the safe for hours.
Mine has a 8 ft LED rope light in it and a elect rod dehumidifier . The lights stay on 24/7 and they do put off a little heat also ,helps keep keep humidity out
I used 2 under cabinet lights from Costco. They are about 10 inches long with 6 or 8 small LEDs, battery powered and motion detected. They light up the safe very well and require no touching.
I won't be wronged, I won't be insulted, and I won't be laid a hand on. I don't do these things to other people, and I require the same from them.....J B Books.

In Praise of 'Fringe's' Walter Bishop
J.J. Abrams' addicting, intriguing, and occasionally maddening sci-fi epic Fringe comes to a conclusion tonight, and along with it the story of the show's most complicated character, mad scientist Walter Bishop. Portrayed with humor and empathy by the brilliant John Noble, Walter has always been the show's emotional and intellectual centerpiece. Between nearly destroying another universe, spending almost 20 years in a mental hospital, and facing down his own evil alter ego, Walter's been through more in five seasons than most Harvard-educated geniuses go through in a lifetime. Read on for the on-screen highlights of Walter's illustrious tenure that earned his show one of primetime television's most devoted cult followings. … Read More

Accomplished Filmmakers Who Also Work in Television
Geek god Joss Whedon's day has come. He's trading TV slayage and vampires, for filmic mayhem with his horror writing endeavor The Cabin in the Woods, which hits theaters this Friday — the 13th, for added spooky cred. It's a spoof of sorts on the horror genre, but not in the vein of goofy films like Scary Movie. Think Whedon's clever brand of humor set in a remote cabin where friends gather for a getaway. The movie also has its share of scares — and hey, Ebert liked it, so that's something. (Beware of spoilers.)
Whedon's witticisms have always wooed us, and thanks to an early career as a television writer (Roseanne and Parenthood being his inaugural projects), the filmmaker was able to smoothly segue into a movie career — first with Buffy the Vampire Slayer in 1992 and Toy Story in 1995 — both writing credits. From there, Whedon would flip back and forth from TV and film directing/writing/producing, bringing us gems like Firefly and Serenity, Dr. Horrible's Sing-Along, the beloved Buffy television series, and most recently the highly anticipated Avengers movie — which hits theaters on May 4.
What other filmmakers have danced between TV and cinema, and vice versa? We look at a few multitasking creatives past the break. With increases in technology and more elaborate production values on display, TV no longer feels like a nasty two-letter word filmmakers see as beneath them. More and more accomplished moviemakers are spending time on the small screen, and many got their start there like Whedon. Check out our list below, and share any TV/film geniuses we missed in the comments. … Read More

Other Movies Referenced in Critics' Reviews of 'Super 8'
It's no secret that J.J. Abrams' new film Super 8 is a lover letter to its producer Steven Spielberg that also pays homage to the art of filmmaking in general — especially the kind that dominated the landscape as its director was coming of age. As such, many of the reviews for the film, which is currently at a 83% fresh on Rotten Tomatoes, read like the rental queue of a dude in his 30s who's going through a nostalgic phase. Only one that we've read so far (Andrew O'Hehir at Salon) has managed to avoid mentioning E.T. directly, and even he alludes to "some darker-hued borrowing from Spielberg's biggest hit." Curious as to what other films you'll be seeing references to when you check out Super 8 this weekend? Click through for our critical roundup. … Read More
J.J. Abrams' New Super 8 Trailer Will Transport You Back to Childhood
We've already seen plenty of teasers, but now the first official full-length trailer for J.J. Abrams' Steven Spielberg-homage Super 8 has hit the web, and without revealing any plot spoilers (like what's inside of that container!), we're finally getting a little context for a project that has been cloaked with mystery since it was announced. There are plenty of things to be excited about here: namely, the fact that our favorite Fanning (Elle!) and Coach Taylor (Kyle Chandler) are in the cast; the fact that this looks more like an adventure tale than a horror flick; the fact that there are lens flare-enhanced action sequences; the fact that we feel like we're watching one of the classic '80s films we grew up on. What remains to be seen is whether Abrams has taken the Spielberg love a little too far — which for certain people, will be a non-issue. Either way, from where we're sitting, this looks to be the biggest film of the summer. Yep, we went there. Click through and let us know what you think in the comments. … Read More

Porcelain sunflower seeds created by the artist Ai Weiwei have been sold at Sotheby's in New York for over $782,000 (£480,000) - a record for work by the Chinese dissident artist.
As a Chinese, i see Mr Ai as an ignorant, un-creative, political-inclined individual. Most famous Artist? He is hardly an artist. He said his work is against the government of China, but what he has displayed is a disgrace to Chinese Culture and the Chinese Race.
As a Buhhdist sayings goes, "A well-shaped one has a final day of ruinous state", a prominent monk Fou-tu-tun (A.D. 232-348) said while talking with Chinese ruler Shi-le of Zhau Empire.
Since the life cycle is unavoidably either short-time or long-term, we people have to make the livings colourful and moreover meaningful. Ai insists on his paranoid, seeking the truth in his life. Also, he doesn't like Beijing's current politics so that he constantly has politics less keep in regular contact with massive ordinaries about people's life. And since Ai expands this thoughts, I would like to suggest Ai that Ai should left his hair for a life of Buhhdist monk. This sounds a matching solution to his dilemma of whether living in China or going overseas, even leading to no question.
In 2010, Ai wrote his thoughts of Internet and his reflection on architecture in this book, "Time and Place", whose cover photo is shown as the Economics in this article. He tried to compare the embarrassment about Chinese contemporary art with the prediction of China's future. Although he is clumsy in writings (and I just know a little and hard to communicate with), the image and the change from one paragraph to another can deliver his unique style and the tips of Chinese descendant. Besides, he wanted to let readers know his expectation of expanding art into everyday life. His either non-shaped or well-shaped creative idea and processes which are always powerful and spiritual.
I touched art concerned from classical music when I was just a five-year-old child. During my childhood, I learnt music theory, mainly for composing, and the basic piano-playing. I got a good grade (the fifth grade) of one certain college's test in London (Let me seal this with my memory) about music theory as well as had a good level of Japan's KAWAI. Meanwhile, I surfed the western art history, including carvers, musician, typical architecture for several ages. But I am not against Communism or politics. Really, I know Ai's thoughts which is derived from his father and his work experiences. Maybe I tend to enjoy music so I get different view from Ai's.
Don't be too sensitive to this connection between politically and non-politically. Contrary to such kind, there is a well-known example, Japan's former prime minister Koizumi Junichiro who played violin from his junior-high life and has good feeling of art. Recently, I read Mr. Koizumi's book - Ongaku Henreki (Processing overview of Music-lover) - and profoundly praise his good political means, which is somewhat affected by art. By the way, the hobby of classical music is one of the reason why this Asian ever-invincible politician had contact with me. Yeah, let art work by itself, but that's okay when you still live in the surroundings of both art and politics. The connection between art and politics depends on your own.
A thought provoking article indeed,in ancient times it was believed that thinkers,artist,philosofers could ruin any Empire by their work, it can be very well potrayed from Mr Ai art has created a fear Chineese Govt and its way of ruling.
please do not delete my words again and again ,
Famous artist?
I have never heard of this person in China in Chinese until I see the article about him in TE.
Ai Weiwei,former famous person's son,is in house arrest because he dares to say!China needs such person!
Good for Weiwei of getting an upper 6-figure price for his piece of (fill in your preference). I don't care how much of it is the so-called dissident premium, as long as he pays his fair share of tax.
To be fair, this article at least reported Weiwei with a reasonable size 'artist' footnote, and I'm hoping one day a Chinese artist or a writer, etc, can be praised as an artist or a writer, without the 'dissident' prefix. But I'm also certain that Westerns will never accept a Chinese Wagner, for we all know racism is powerful and tenacious.
"But I'm also certain that Westerns will never accept a Chinese Wagner, for we all know racism is powerful and tenacious."
Have you heard of Yo Yo Ma?
(And you seem to be unaware that Wagner was a Nazi)
Clearly you did not get the gist of my point. Let me try again: I'm certain that Westners will never accept a Chinese Wagner or a Chinese Shostakovich (hint: both were famous musicians is NOT the point), for we all know racism is powerful and tenacious (operative word: race).
So Yo Yo Ma is not famous (here in the West)?
Without any reason, I went to Ai Weiwei's "Entrelacs" exhibition in Paris, and then spent hours on watching his documentary videos and art designs back home (Benefit my stay at this free country)... I do agree there are lots of ridiculous things happened in China, but this Guy himself is also kind of a joke. I 100% doubt he contributed anything to the design of Bird's Nest or Beijing Airport Terminal3 except taking uncountable number of photos (I have no intend to defend the government, but I cannot stand someone call himself an greatest artist only by saying no to anything, everything...)
Weiwei to Chinas's Parliament! Ahhh.. I forgot.. he can't even speak on being politician or being voted.. he'll be accused from "CIA conspiration".
The question "what is art?" has confounded some great philosophers and made others pick their words very carefully indeed. Firm assertions about what art is and isn't often indicate that you are a Philistine in denial as opposed to just being honestly ( and more likably ) ignorant.
People who get cross about art and post annoyed comments to the Economist are funny. Governments who frog march citizens about the place and interrogate them in darkened rooms over it are absolutely priceless.
I am going to create an art exhibit with Tea Party banners calling Obama a communist, liar, Anti-Christ, etc...that must garner me international attention as a world-renowned artist, correct?
China has problems, but Ai dropping a vase helps to solve none of them.
Actually, if an established artist created your thought experiment, added an insignificant unique signature, and put it on display, then it would probably be a "success." It would certainly garner media coverage, blog posts, and general coversation. And, is that not the point readymade artist attempt to make?
"China has problems, but Ai dropping a vase helps to solve none of them."
Of course China has problems, so does the US, Greece, Spain, the world. Hyperbole is not sensible speech. Opinion stated as absolute truth is not sensible. Who's to say whether an impoverished, underrepresented rural-ite isn't inspired by this photo to change the status quo evolved Mao-Deng modern party?
TE is wrong. Ai Weiwei does not help China, he destroy China by working for CIA and Dalai Lama.
Chinese government has plenty proof of this activities. It is only because of goodness of the CCP that this drug-addict artist is not shot in head with bullet (and family not charged 6 cents for bullet cost).
It is shame this man wastes his life by breaking pots. He could be good worker at Foxconn and build many iPads for lazy Americans
Paranoid are we?
Adjust your tin-hat down a notch or two.
Ai Weiwei is biggest traitor in China!!!
He jealous of great economic progress of China (soon to be world's greatest country under leadership of BEST government in world, the CCP).
What use democracy if one cannot get rich lah???
Our Great Leader Mao must be weeping in his grave to see this
Long Live China! Long Live Mao!!!
Absolutely you are pretty insane.
"Ai Weiwei is biggest traitor in China!!!"
-How did Ai betray China, it seems as though China has betrayed him. He has been stripped of basic human liberties.
"He jealous of great economic progress of China (soon to be world's greatest country under leadership of BEST government in world, the CCP)."
-Why would he be jealous of China's economic strengthening? He has in fact benefitted from the rise of China. He is also one of the more prosperous Chinese, which refutes your statement.
-You are also stating that China is not currently the world's greatest country, implying that there is at least one nation that is greater. Oops! You $.50ers aren't earning your keep.
Tiananmen square 1989. Ai Weiwei. Chen Guangchen. Sichuan 2008.
Oh man, I am so sick and tired of reading the same comments about every article that has to do with China, human rights or Ai Weiwei. Basically they amount to "Don't critisize China", "Human rights are unimportant" and "Ai Weiwei is not an artist".
I Think Ai Weiwei is not only a great artist but a modern day hero. He looked in the face of tyranny and gave it the finger. He sacrifices personal safety and freedom for his art and he deserves even more credit than he gets.
Yes he is not famous in China, that might have something to do with the fact that the Chinese media is not allowed to speak his name.
And yes, China is not a bad place as such, I have lived there happily for a few years, but if you don't think human rights should be observed and are worth fighting for, you are truly brainwashed, as many regretfully many have become. And to be honest the little man inside kind of hopes you will be terrifically wronged by your state, maybe tortured a little or maybe locked away in a dark cell somewhere, afraid, sad, alone and with the pain of not knowing why.
In the west it has taken two world wars, a cold one and countless revolutions to obtain and protect democracy, freedom of speech and human rights and so I refuse to debate with those that don't value these ideas, because debating it would set our conversation back fifty years, by implying that we are still questioning those ideas.
So stay strong and defiant Ai Weiwei, don't you ever let them break you!
chinese education system is a brainwashing machine. People live in matrix could not know which is reality before they wake up. So arguing with them is a waste of time. People discrediting AI WeiWei today will discover the value of him and his art someday.
To be honest, this is the first time I've ever heard about him, I'm surprised no other media has mentioned him.
Since I wasn't familiar with his art, I did some research and what I found was just what I would expect from anyone who wants to "stand out" by standing out against his motherland, no more no less.
I personally didn't find anything new nor exceptional or appealing in his art, but what can I say, after all I'm an economist, not an art critic...
Are you in the "wall" or out of the "wall"? as a forbidden name in the wall, you cant find any valuable information of him through the searching engine. And in what universe criticizing the government equal to opposing the country?
Are there some differences between China goverment and Ai weiwei? I don't like both.
China's most famous artist?!!! Are you kidding?!!
Or just the editor entitled this to him?!!
The side effect of this paper simply goes down to who'll take more credits when the people in china start the war for civil rights and their freedom.... the US or the austerity-ruling countries in Europe?

Thomas Jefferson made monarchist slip-up in Declaration of Independence draft
Thomas Jefferson, described Americans as 'subjects' in an early draft of the Declaration of Independence. While the ink was still wet, he erased that word and replaced it with 'citizens.'
Susan Walsh/AP
Preservation scientists at the Library of Congress have discovered that Thomas Jefferson, even in the act of declaring independence from England, had trouble breaking free from monarchial rule.
In an early draft of the Declaration of Independence, Jefferson wrote the word "subjects," when he referred to the American public. He then erased that word and replaced it with "citizens," a term he used frequently throughout the final draft.
The Library released news of the struck word for the first time on Friday.
Fenalla France, a research chemist at the Library, said her lab made the discovery last year by using hyperspectral imaging, using a high resolution digital camera that compiles a series of images to highlight layers of a document. Some of those invisible layers — like erased text and even fingerprints — pop into view on a computer screen.
In switching from "subjects" to "citizens," France said it appears Jefferson used his hand to wipe the word out while the ink was still wet. A distinct brown smudge is apparent on the paper, although the word "subjects" is not legible without the help of the digital technology.
"This has been a very exciting development," France said, calling the findings "spine-tingling."
Historic, handwritten documents reveal clues about the past that word processors cannot illuminate, said James Billington, librarian of Congress.
"It shows the progress of his mind. This was a decisive moment," Billington said. "We recovered a magic moment that was otherwise lost to history."

Challenge Accepted!
So I have begun my summer reading (after completing three weeks of summer school and while simultaneously working on my Edmodo Ambassador application, prepping for DENSI 2014 as a first time attendee, preparing three kids for camp, preparing for the first trip to my birth state of Michigan in eight years, etc.) and one of the first books that I read was He's the Weird Teacher by Doug Robertson. I've followed Doug on Twitter (@TheWeirdTeacher) for a while and I had begun to participated in the #WeirdEd chats so I thought it might be good to read the book and figure out the back story. I am SO glad that I did!
First of all, I could NOT put it down. The chapter on bodily fluids brought to mind an experience I had in my classroom (a computer lab) this past school year. I ended up trading a series of tweets with Doug about it (after I'd gotten done wiping the tears from my eyes) and it ultimately resulted in this… my attempt at a blog. I'm going to try my hand at blogging and see how it goes. I christen thee "Lab Experiments!"

Podolski remains at Bayern
17 Jan 2008 - 08:23:20
Bayern Munich president Karl-Heinz Rummenigge has confirmed that his club are not about to sanction the exit of Germany striker Lukas Podolski.
The 22-year-old has been linked with a move to England to join Manchester City, having struggled to establish himself in a season-and-a-half at the Allianz Arena.
However, Rummenigge insists that Podolski is going nowhere, as he is wanted by Jurgen Klinsmann, who will take over as Bayern coach in the summer.
"It is normal that some clubs are interested in our player," Rummenigge told Setanta Sports.
"We are speaking of a Germany international. We have received an offer for Lukas, but he will be here for the second half of the Bundesliga season.
"Our next manager, Jurgen Klinsmann, has communicated to us a list of the players that are going to be part of his project and Podolski's name is included.
"Podolski has been underrated, he is worth much more money. Manchester City are one of the clubs interested, but for us this file is closed."

Learn about Adobe Photoshop and how the program works. Also find out which program plugins will allows you to improve your photos in post-production.
By Mason Resnick
October 7, 2013
Adobe's Photoshop is the pre-eminent photo editor for professionals and advanced amateurs alike. Yet as powerful as Photoshop is, there is a rich universe of software plug-ins that can deliver specialized features to add even more capabilities to the program.
Think of Photoshop as the jack-of-all-trades and the plug-ins as the master of one. These programs are typically aimed at Photoshop CS users, although some work with the more consumer-friendly Photoshop Elements as well. In fact, Photoshop Elements plus some of these suites will give you many key features missing from full Photoshop! Adobe's Lightroom and Apple's Aperture are also supported, giving them even greater versatility. Here's our pick of some plug-ins you should be playing with.
AutoFX Mystical Suite Adorama price: $389AutoFX's Mystical Suite is an integrated bundle of visual effects generators that can change the focus, lighting, and overall look and feel dramatically. A must-have tool for wedding, portrait and landscape photographers. It includes:Mystical Focus Gen1 is a collection of visual effects that apply photo-realistic depth-of-field, panning motion, soft focus, selective brush-on focus, vignettes and other creative ways to make your subject look great. Mystical Focus includes 16 filters that can be combined with any other Mystical 2.0 product in this suite.Mystical Lighting and Ambiance Gen1 lets you stream natural lighting, light beams, surface light, shading, shadows and atmospheric conditions such as rain, snow, haze and fog onto your scenes. The results are phenomenal and very useful for adding a realistic-touch to enhance your best photos.Mystical Tint Tone and Color Gen1 is an amazing suite of 60 filters for enhancing the mood, color and tonal qualities in your photos. With over 300 instant brush-on / brush-off effects this product can greatly improve your work. The new portrait filters are outstanding for enhancing skin, hair, eyes, lips and facial features.
DxO FilmPack 3 Expert Adorama price: $129
DxO's FilmPack 3 lets you recapture the magic of analog film. It offers specific emulsions (Polaroid 667, Koachrome 25, Ilford HP5, and so forth) as well as fine-tuning controls that lets you create a custom film look. There are a total of 26 black and white and 36 color film looks. This is the software that eased photojournalists such as Sabasiao Salgado's transition to digital. Batch processing, custom presets, and printing options make this a true digital darkroom.
DxO Optics Pro 8 Adorama price: $149DxO's flagship software, Optics Pro, will take any currently available lens and fix its faults: It sniffs out chromatic aberration, line distortion, vignetting and other weaknesses, and simply fixes them. It can process RAW and JPEGs and also reduces noise, optimizes exposure, contrast and color and boosts detail—and does it automatically. Nifty—and if you want your 18-55 to produce images that look like they were shot with a pro 24-70, you'll save a bundle.
onOne Perfect Photo Suite 7.5 Adorama price: $99.99onOne's Perfect Photo Suite is a bundle of seven useful plug-ins that that offer workflow improvements for anyone working in Photoshop (full or Elements) or Lightroom, or Aperture. If you buy version 7.5, you are eligible for a free upgrade to version 8 when it comes out. At the Adorama price of $99.99, the suite costs as much as many single plug-ins in the suite, which is actually amazing. This plug-in consists of:Perfect B&W: Quickly and intuitively converts your images to black and white while letting you choose the classic film looks, reproducing vintage darkroom techniques, adding film borders, and enhancing tone and contrast. There's a ton of presets and a new quick view browser so you can quickly choose the look you desire. A Favorites panel lets you quickly go to your most popular settings.Perfect Portrait 2: Easy but powerful retouching tools with the ability to automate repetitive tasks. This plug-in will remove blemishes, improve skin texture and color, and enhance eyes, lips and teeth. New features include face detection, red-eye reduction, and Perfet Brush, which selects specific areas to retouch.Pefect Layers 3: This plug-in lets you deal with layers in a sophisticated way without going into Photoshop. This includes blending modes, masking tools, precise brush applications, clone brush, red-eye tool, PNG file support, and a library of borders and textures. Especially helpful for Photoshop Elements users.Perfect Effects 4: You can apply stylized looks and effects, quicly brows and choose effects, select favorites, and paint in effects such as hyper color or selective B&W. Perfect Resize 7.5: This allows users to enlarge and sharpen image files beyond their intended print size. Formerly called Genuine Fractals, this lets you enlarge your iPhone photos to poster size.Perfect Mask 5.2: One of the more difficult and time-consuming tasks for post production is masking images. Perfect Mask can save you time and effort, cutting around difficult edges and giving you unprecedented control so you can replace boring backgrounds with more interesting ones or isolate subjects. There's also a background library.Focal Point lets you control depth of field after the shot. Coolest feature? You can actually choose a lens and aperture setting from a drop-down menu! Want to show the look of a Canon 35mm f/1.4 at f/1.4? No problem! Wacom users can paint focus or blur precisely. Highlight bloom, brightness and contrast controls are available.
Tiffen Dfx V3 Adorama price: $149.95Tiffen has spent literally decades making some of the best glass filters in the world. With Dfx, the company has seamlessly moved into the digital world, offering the effects of 125 individual filters with thousands of variations. Users can simulate glass camera filters as well as specialized lens looks, film grain, color correction and natural light and photographic effects. For experienced shooters there are Rosco and GamColor gel libraries, and a layering system so users can apply multiple filter effects. Masking tools are available, and you can work in 8 or 16 bit image processing. New to Version 3 is an enhanced multi-processor for faster performance, 10 new filter effects, and several improvements to the interface. Other new features:Color Shadow: Creates a high contrast image overlayed with a gradient.DeBand: Removes banding artifacts from an image by smoothing pixels in banded areas while retaining detail. Banding frequently occurs, in blue skies for instance, with DSLR's as well as digital cameras. DeBand effectively smooths out this unwanted banding.DeBlock: Removes blocking artifacts created as a result of high compression factors, such as overly compressed JPG images which often cause square blocking artifacts.DeNoise: Grain and noise from digital cameras, whether still or video, is a common problem. DeNoise removes the grain and noise while still retaining detail.Film Stocks: Simulates 113 different color and black & white photographic film stocks. For those desiring the look of either old or current film stocks, there are simulations of many of the popular brands from Kodak®, Fuji®, Agfa®, Polaroid®, and Ilford®.Glow Darks: Glows and grows the dark areas of an image, creating a stylized, dreamy dark glow.Key Light: Relights images with a directional or point light. Changing the lighting after an image has been photographed gives the photographer/editor control to fix or enhance their images, as well as create interesting lighting effects.Rays: Creates stunning and realistic light ray effects quickly and easily. Rays can add shafts of light streaming through clouds, rays filtering through a forest canopy, beams of light on a foggy night, or rays shooting through an interior window. Rays adds a striking and dramatic quality to any image.Texture: Applies textures to an image for a stylized look. Adding texture to an image is a great way to create a unique and customized look.Match: Matches the color, detail, gradient, and tone of one image and applies it to another. Tiffen Dfx is compatible with Full Photoshop and Elements, as well as Lightroom and Aperture.

Unsafe air ducts: this HVAC diagnosis & safety hazard article describes unsafe air conditioning or heating duct openings such as openings that may cause fatal production of carbon monoxide and move it into the occupied building space. We also discuss air or return duct openings that may pick up and distribute other gases, chemicals, mold or allergens throughout a building. Green links show where you are. © Copyright 2015 InspectApedia.com, All Rights Reserved. Air Conditioning (or Heating) Duct System Condition & Health/Safety HazardsUNSAFE OPENINGS - Air Conditioning or Heating Duct System May Draw Dangerous Combustion GasesReturn air collected close to gas-fired applianceAlso see LEAKY DUCT CONNECTIONS for other examples of duct leaks and openings. The master document, of which this is a chapter, describes the inspection of residential air conditioning systems (A/C systems) to inform home buyers, owners, and home inspectors of common cooling system defects. This poorly-designed central air conditioning return duct was located in a cramped basement boiler room only five feet from a large gas-fired, natural draft heating boiler. It is a possible safety concern. When the location of the system return air duct work and air handler is such that the system may pull dangerous flue gases back out of the gas appliance flue vents, piping and into the building heating or cooling air we cite it as a potential hazard: distribution of combustion gases may be blown into the living area. This return air location on a heating or air conditioning system is a dangerous carbon monoxide hazard. Such a system should be examined promptly and corrected by a qualified heating professional. Return Air Openings Near Heating EquipmentStill more common is the presence of extra openings cut into the return ducts atop a building furnace (perhaps also serving as the air conditioning blower system in cooling season). Often these openings are added to provide more return air to a system which is not providing sufficient cooling or heating to the building. But making return air openings right at a heating appliance, such as shown in the photo here, risks drawing combustion gases into the building air supply as well as potentially interfering with proper appliance draft and combustion. This is the case particularly with gas fired furnaces, boilers, or water heaters, which operate at a lower and usually natural draft, but it is also a potential safety hazard with oil-fired equipment. Flue gases from nearby heating or water heater appliances are easily drawn into the return air plenum and air handler. This would permit circulation of flue gases into the living area and can be a safety hazard which could deliver potentially fatal carbon monoxide to building occupants. "Hidden" Duct or Air Handler LeaksHere is an interesting case of a surprise air leak into the return air plenum at a gas-fired hot air furnace and air conditioning system. We removed the (not working) electrostatic air cleaner (first photo) to look into the return plenum where we saw a large gap between the return plenum and the blower compartment (second photo). When the gas burner was operating along with
the blower (in heating mode) this opening could certainly draw un-wanted gases into the duct system and might lead to CO production too.
In cooling or air conditioning mode, the blower was pulling in air from the basement (where we had a mold concern). Carbon Monoxide Production Caused by Improperly Located Return Air Ducts/RegistersReturn air openings close to natural-draft fired appliances, again particularly gas, can also interfere with proper gas (and possibly oil) burner operation by competing for combustion air, thus causing carbon monoxide production when the burner is operating. If openings are found in the duct system near fossil-fuel fired appliances it should be reported as an indication of a system operating problem (inadequate return air) and as a safety hazard (potentially fatal carbon monoxide poisoning). Review this potential hazard with a qualified service professional. For example, should a stack pipe fail and flue gas be dumped into the furnace room it would be picked up and distributed throughout the building.

E-commerce and auction site eBay has announced it came under cyberattack between February and early March this year, with hackers stealing users' personal details and passwords.
The company, which discovered the attack in May, is now urging its 145 million active buyers to change their passwords as soon as possible. eBay says credit card details and PayPal accounts have not been compromised, and claims the unauthorised access has now been shut down.
According to eBay, the attack was made possible after employee log-ins were compromised.
The attack was on a database that contained users' personal information. This included:
Change your eBay password as soon as possible, and if you use the same password for eBay and another site (which is a bad idea, as it means that if hackers crack one of your online accounts, they can get access to others too), change your password on any other site on which you use it. If you're having trouble remembering all those passwords, check out our review of password managers, which can help keep your online life secure.
The good news is that the stolen passwords were encrypted, so it would take significant effort and skill to be able to decode them into actual passwords. But just because it isn't easy, doesn't mean they won't be able to do it.
eBay says it has improved its site security and is working with law enforcement to resolve the issue. But they've issued this warning: "Following a cyberattack of this nature, it is common that fraudsters will try to exploit well-known brand names like eBay in an effort to obtain personal information. They attempt this fraudulent activity through phishing emails, texts, phone calls and fake websites." So be on the lookout for anything phishy.

"I got into acting young and I wasn't as fascinated with learning as I am now," she said. "The older I get, the more curious I become. I'd like to study film or photography one day."
Hudgens definitely has the discipline to thrive in a college setting. According to the "Frozen Ground" star, she is turned put off by the Hollywood party scene, preferring a more humble crowd.

"I have never liked partying; I love dancing, but that's as far as it goes," she said. "It's tough because a lot of clubs are everything I loathe, especially in L.A. They're always very ego-filled and people get up to mischief. It's just not a pure environment. I stay away from [drugs] because I know it's smart to steer clear."
Still, Hudgens confessed that there are exceptions to the rule. The actress,who famously split with Disney co-star and recovering addict Zac Efron in 2010, revealed that partying with friends is a great remedy for a recent heartbreak.

"When a girlfriend is going through a break-up, you have to go out and dance. With your best friends, you've got to be there for them no matter what," she told the British student mag. "love taking my girlfriends away from their worries and enjoying life with them. If there's a problem, a bottle of wine goes a long way. It's the same after a long week of filming—a glass of wine and a bit of chocolate makes me happy. And I love a theme party! Give me a theme and I will dress up like there's no tomorrow."
Yeah, this starlet is definitely ready for college. Check out a list of celebs with degrees in the slideshow below.

I have been using Dermalastyl-B, Bx and E for a couple of years but have decided to stop. I will tell you why in a moment...
Initially this gave me good results in terms of firmness and de-wrinkling. I don't know whether this was due to the advertised Elastatropin ingredient as I could find no published studies, or the Matrixyl 3000 that it also contains which does have research support.
Eventually though, I aged anyway! My skin started looking thinner and a bit saggy. I was losing tone. Ironically, the worst symptom was loss of elasticity and tone under the eye.
So for the first time I read the ingredients in fine detail, discovering with horror that all Dermalastyl products contain ARGIRELINE or Hexapeptide-8. This is a Botox-type paralyzing peptide designed to make your face muscles less active, to limit the formation of new wrinkles. However, it's a bad, BAD idea for a face cream to promote lax muscles because ultimately it can only lead to one thing - sag!
If you study 'before and after' photos of Argireline used under the eyes you will see that wrinkles do fade but only because they drop out - the skin literally falls under gravity because the muscles are no longer holding it up properly. NOT a good plan for the long haul!!! This chemical, after all, is DESIGNED to reduce muscle tone.
So as a quick fix this product may add value but I absolutely do not recommend any Argireline-containing product for regular use. There's a reason that Dermatologists don't inject Botox all over your face(!) but only in highly specific, carefully targeted spots.
UPDATE: I completely stopped using all Dermalastyl products, replacing them with similar peptide creams with no nerve inhibiting chemicals in them. In less than 4 weeks there's enough difference that I can notice it and friends have mentioned I'm looking younger. I will not be going back to Dermalastyl.

Update: after a couple of weeks, the lines came right back. I have now managed to get rid of the lines completely using a combination of Skin Actives Bright-I in the pm and IS Clinical Youth Complex in the am.
I'll second this high review. I've been using the eye product for eight days on a rash of tiny wrinkles that appeared after a lower bleph (which wasn't necessary as the dark line it was supposed to reduce turned out to be due to use of a respirator during my glasswork). I've used a few products over the area, none of which have so far worked and most of which have contained peptides. Unless it's a trick of the light, my tiny lines seem significantly reduced.
1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
UPDATE: I've just ordered my 2nd jar of this. There is a noticable difference in my eyes when I don't use it. Darkness comes back and my eyes just don't have that awake, smooth look they have when I am using it. For $30/jar, its totally worth it as I haven't found anything that works as well on my dark circles.
A friend of mine got 2 jars of this in a 2fer and gave one to me. I never would have bought this on my own as it has one of the hexapeptides in it and I've had adverse reactions to this (specifically hex6), but I used it one night just to make her happy. To my amazement I woke up to tight, firm, plumped, moisturized, bright eyes. Shocking. So I continued to use it at night over my avene and to my amazement, my dark circles are almost gone, puffiness has been improved noticeably, and fine lines have been improved. I don't know which ingredient in this stuff has made the difference, but I am impressed. My bff also has noticed an improved tightness around her eyes, but didn't have problems with circles or puffies so can't comment. They call it a serum, but its actually a medium firm, white cream that comes in a .05oz plastic screw top jar (would definitely prefer pump) for $29. Only a tiny bit is needed. I've been using this for a month and I haven't even made a dent. It does have the no-fragrance scent to it....like wet cardboard, but it fades quickly. I would never put a hexapeptide all over my skin, but it seems to be OK in focused areas. I'll update if that changes.

Bamberg Beer: Mahr's Bräu – Ungespundet – Lager Hefetrüb
Posted in Beer, Beverages, Germany, Pairings, Producer Profile, tagged Bamberg, Bamberger, Bavaria, Germany, Ingmar Michel, Johann Michel Jr., lager, Lager Hefetrüb, Mahr's Bräu, Mahr's Bräu Ungespundet Lager Hefetrüb, Ungespundet on October 13, 2011 | Leave a Comment »
Mahr's Bräu is a German brewery in the suburbs of Bamberg, a UNESCO World Heritage City. Bamberg is almost directly east of Frankfurt and is one of the region's historical beer-brewing centers. Today, the Franconian Brewery Museum which is located there offers visitors a view into that long history. Situated in a former monastic brewery, with a history dating back to 1122, it seems fitting this museum was established in a town with a population of just over 70,000 people and nine breweries.

Pain-free Latkes
Although I didn't make it Saul's Deli this year for their annual Neverending Latke sidewalk fest, a lingering craving for piles of crispy potato cakes convinced my husband to brave the task of grating and frying.
He more or less followed a straightforward recipe from Gourmet and managed to deliver, with his first try, a most excellent feast. Some crème fraiche, homemade applesauce and leftover oil from donut frying may have gilded the latkes, but they're so good, we don't really need much more than a plate or fork. Of course, some of us who hover around the cook right at the stove don't even need those.
Everyone and their bubbie guard special tricks to making the best latkes in the world. Mine involves one of the most important tools in my kitchen: a beloved grater. My Bluffton Slaw Cutter, named for the Ohio village of just over 3,000 people where the company has been producing their crazy sharp graters since 1915, ensures thin, delicate, crisp shavings of potato. As anyone who works with good tools knows, the best ones are simply constructed, made to last decades and respond to each individual user. With the Bluffton grater, you can vary the length and thickness of your vegetable strips depending on the strength and angle you use.
Mine is just over 20 years old. Nothing fancy, it's one thin but strong piece of metal with edges bent over a single length of thick-gauge wire that — oh beautiful simple tools! — curves to become a handle. It's long enough to lie over a bowl. And most importantly of all, a special process of hand-hammering the holes creates edges that become sharper the more you grate. Sorry, not holes, knives. Etched into the metal is a warning: "HOLD THE FINGERS SO THAT THEY DO NOT COME IN CONTACT WITH THE KNIVES."
You can find older versions of the grater at flea markets — look for "Bluffton, Ohio" or "Bluffton Slaw Cutter" somewhere on the face of it — or you can order a set your own to start sharpening with cabbage, carrots and potatoes. You can get all three for only $16.
My husband learned the hard way that my grater is indeed very sharp. The last batch of latkes have a bit of his skin and, maybe, a few drops of blood. (What are the laws of kashrut on that?) I reminded him to use my other secret tool for the best latkes ever: the glove.
It's an exfoliating glove from the Japanese dollar store. You can find them for a few bucks at any drugstore or bath shop. I store one next to the oyster knife for shucking, while the other sleeps next to my grater. They're thin and flexible enough to allow nimble maneuvering of even the most recalcitrant bivalve, and also strong and sturdy enough to deflect sharp edges. Easy to use, wash, dry and store, the gloves have helped me slash my Band-Aid budget by at least 75 percent. I suppose less scarring on my hands is one indirect benefit of repurposed beauty aids.
And if, after reading all of this, you're still wondering why I don't pull out my food processor to grate the latkes, then you apparently like yours mushy and bruised. Give me a hand-grated potato cake any day over cleaning potato from the crevices of a plastic processor lid.
Makes: Enough for 2 hungry or 4 overly modest eaters
2 large potatoes, peeled
1 small onion, diced small
2 eggs, lightly beaten
Salt to taste
Pure olive oil or peanut oil
Crème fraiche and applesauce
Grate potatoes into a bowl of water. Drain well and then spread in a thin layer on a clean kitchen towel. Roll up and then twist the towel to wring as much liquid as possible from the potato shreds.
Dry out the bowl and in it combine the potato, onion, egg and salt. Stir until evenly coated.
Heat 2 inches of oil in a wide, heavy pan over medium-high heat until it begins to shimmer. With a fork, form small rounds of the potato batter in a large spoon and then slip them into the hot fat. Continue shaping the latkes in the pan, if needed, with a fork. Cook until golden brown on both sides, 4 to 5 minutes per side.
If the cook is keeping guests out of the kitchen while cooking in a desperate attempt to shore up latke supplies, they can be kept warm in a low oven. Spread them on a rack placed over a sheet pan and place in a 250-degree oven.

Our Hotel: The Marriott Los Angeles Airport
The 26 Seasons of Gallifrey One will take place on February 13-15, 2015 at the Marriott Los Angeles Airport Hotel, our convention home since 2006.
The Marriott is located at 5855 West Century Boulevard, only a block east of Los Angeles International Airport (LAX), accessible via complimentary shuttle available at the airport curbside. The hotel phone number is 310-641-5700 and fax is 310-337-5358. By car, it's accessible via the 405 Freeway at the Century Boulevard/LAX Airport offramp, and is one of the hotels closest to the airport entrance. It's also approximately 20 miles from Bob Hope (Burbank) Airport and the Long Beach Municipal Airport, both of which are commercial airports.
Our facility has been used by many conventions, and is the annual home of our sister conventions: Loscon, LA's regional science fiction convention, and Anime Los Angeles, a popular Japanese animation event. Our 2006 convention was our first year there, having left our previous home, the Airtel Plaza Hotel in Van Nuys, after ten years in 2005. Gallifrey One uses the entire convention floor (lower level of the hotel) for our event.
The Marriott LAX has an assortment of restaurants including the Latitude 33 coffee shop (open for all meals), Champions Sports Bar (a bar that also serves dinner), J.W.'s Steakhouse (a dinner establishment) and a Starbucks Coffee bar in the lobby. The hotel also has an outdoor pool, jacuzzi, fitness facility, business center and free wireless Internet service in the lobby (which sadly does not apply to the convention center itself.)
Gallifrey One takes place primarily on the lowest floor, the Marriott Convention Center. Access to the convention center floor is restricted during the convention; all registrants are asked to use ONLY the escalator down from the lobby level to get their badges. (The elevators are available for disabled attendees but also have an attendant; we ask your assistance by using the escalators in all but these cases.) Additional convention functions are in the Meridian ballroom on the lobby level (our Program B room); in the first-floor poolside cabana suites (our open hospitality suite as well as the Friday night themed cocktail party); and on the 18th floor (where our cosplay hall, children's programming and gaming suite are located). The convention center and all of these other function areas are badge-accessible only.
