NBC's American Odyssey attempts to woo viewers who have given up on the networks for cable but it misses its mark.
"Into the Blue" is, of all things, an adventure story. Not a high-powered thriller with goofy special effects, but a story about people and hazards and treasure and love, in which every single thing that everybody does is physically possible for people to really do (except that they can apparently hold their breath indefinitely). The movie is written, acted and directed as a story, not as an exercise in mindless kinetic energy.
Paul Walker and Jessica Alba star, as Jared and Sam, lovers who live on a leaky boat in the Bahamas and search for buried treasure. They haven't found much, but they have their love to keep them warm. Tied up at a nearby dock is the larger and more powerful boat of Bates (Josh Brolin), who has money and success and wants to hire Jared, but there's something creepy about him.
Jared's friend Bryce (Scott Caan) flies in from the mainland with a girlfriend named Amanda (Ashley Scott) he says he picked up the night before. They all go diving together and find two kinds of treasure in more or less the same place: one ancient, one right up to date. They could become very rich. But Bryce is greedy and wants to push them in a direction that Jared and Sam are ethically opposed to.
This description sounds dry and abstract, but the movie is juicy with fun. I'm trying not to tell you too much about what happens, because one of the pleasures of "Into the Blue" is that it develops as a narrative, not as a series of action scenes, and the characters don't mindlessly hurry from one impossible stunt to another but weigh their options, advocate opposing strategies and improvise when they get in danger.
A lot of the movie takes place underwater, and director John Stockwell and cinematographers Shane Hurlbut and Peter Zuccarini do a good job of keeping us oriented under the sea. We know more or less where everything is, and what it means, and how it can be involved in the story; when there's an underwater emergency that almost kills Bryce, it is handled as if the characters (or the writers) have some practical information about scuba diving. There is also the surprise of having something very bad happen to a character we had every reason to expect would be around until the end of the movie.
The opening scenes are deceptive. The Jessica Alba character seems to have wandered over from the Sports Illustrated swimsuit issue, or maybe she thinks she's in a video. Then the plot kicks in and she gets a lot to do while still looking fine in a swimsuit. She also looks surprisingly sweet after the stripper she played in "Sin City." Scott Caan, like his old man, James Caan, does a good job of playing a persuasive jerk, and Paul Walker is intriguing in the way he has his standards but can be talked out of them. People actually change their minds during this movie; in most action films, they're issued with an identity in their first scene and limited by that identity for the rest of the movie.
"Into the Blue" offers modest pleasures. It is not an essential film, but if you go to see it, it will not insult your intelligence, and there's genuine suspense toward the end. It is a well-made example in a genre that has been cheapened and made routine. There's evidence the filmmakers spent more time talking about the characters and story than about how special effects would allow them to cheat on the narrative logic. And at the end of the film, there are some small surprises about who has survived and who has not. Usually you can predict the final head count at the end of the first act.

I live in Siesta Key, Florida and spend months at a time at 'One Rhythm Villa' in Jamaica. Doing this, I feel good and at home...I am grateful..I always Love it when family and friends find their way for a visit...
I especially favor this location because it is private, quiet and on the seaside.I Love the Sea. When I first came upon this area, it was an instant knowing for me that I would one day be at home here in Jamaica. That was almost 15 years ago. When I first saw the Sea, it was full of so many different shades of turquoise that I could not look away.... so I just sat in gratitude of the beauty surrounding me & took it all in.
One Rhythm Villa opens up to the outside gardens and sitting areas, it is like having a flower garden inside. There is a gentle sea breeze that flows through the villa most all day. Jamaica gives me the feeling that I am always in Love.....I am blessed!

to me
Hello Karen!
Just wanted to write as I have been thinking about your home and community in Jamaica constantly since returning in the spring. The time spent there with Annette and Johnny will forever be in our hearts. Those two people are some of the best that we have ever had the pleasure of spending time with . Their gifts of connection and intuition in being with new people are really incredible. I can't imagine that there would be anyone who could fill Annettes's shoes as far as providing the level of insight, kind support and hospitality that she does.
Brian and I are dreaming about when we can come back! Trelawny is a most special community and the way of life and perspective of the folks that we have spent time with there have been an inspiration to us since we have come back. The trip really highlighted the blessings and shortcomings of our own life and community in such a powerful way. I only wish that we could travel back to Jamaica more often...
I can't wait to send an email with some dates that we would love to come back to your home. The next time we will bring some friends. I can't wait to share this community and your home with some friends or family.
Hope you are well. Thanks again for creating a portal to such a lovely community and culture for us. I could have never imagined that a vacation could have such an impact on our life!
Michelle (and Brian) Higginson
Karen, just wanted you to know how much we enjoyed our 2nd stay at One Rhythm, and our 3rd year in Duncan's Bay!!!
Your villa is so beautiful and peaceful... a perfect vacation for us.... the relaxation we needed!!!!
Ms Annette made our time there like the pictures in a storybook. She took care of us 24 hours a day. She anticipated our needs. Her meals were so awesome that we took pictures of every one! Even when the seas were rough she managed to find fish and lobster for us to enjoy. She played and taught us Jamaican Dominoes and strategies at night... Fun!!! Even when she was off, she always went into town and procured what we would need for the day. She swept the beach every morning. She wanted to make sure her guests had a clean beach. Of course we cried when we had to leave her!
Ralston, a local fisherman, took my husband out fishing and to check his traps....what an awesome experience!!! He also caught fish, which Ms Annette cooked for us.
Andrew was also great! He was very dependable and took us from the airport and back, and also treated us to an excursion into the hills so that we could see the real Jamaica, and then to the Bend Down Market…. A must see!
We went snorkeling twice with Mashtoq, and experienced the local reggae music at Leroy's on both Saturday nights. Ms Annette went with us to Leroy's on our last night, which was especially nice.
The people there really respect you, Karen, and are appreciative all you have done for their community.
We felt very special to have stayed in your villa..... the BEST in Duncan's Bay!
Thank you again for allowing us to rent your beautiful, peaceful villa, the most restful place in the world......
I am sure we will return again... it is our special place in Jamaica.
One love.
My family just returned from the most awesome vacation ever! Where do I begin? From the moment we got through customs and found our driver Johnny Blaze waiting for us, our stay just got better and better. He's a really cool guy. When we arrived at One Rhythm, the perfect vacation villa, we were met by Ms Annette, who made sure we had everything we needed and that our stay was all we wanted it to be. She walked us a few steps to the beach, and we took in the beauty of the Caribbean. She also introduced us to all the vendors and crafts people who work and sell by the beach. Ms Annette is a warm, friendly, kind woman who must be the best cook in Jamaica! Stew chicken, jerk chicken, fish, patties, fritters, vegetables, fruit, and more – each dish better than the next. So good! In fact, one night when we planned to go into Montego Bay for dinner, my granddaughter said she only wanted to eat Ms Annette's cooking. Johnny knew so much about the people, the culture, the history, the music, and the land, and he shared all that with us. One of the highlights (and there are so many) was our beautiful, winding drive up the mountain to Accompong, a village in St. Elizabeth's Parish in the heart of Cockpit Country where enslaved Africans escaped, successfully fought the British, signed a peace treaty in 1739 that granted them autonomy and created a nation within a nation, and built a community where they and their descendants freely practiced their African traditions. These traditions continue to be practiced today. Once there, we sat under the 200+ year old Kindah tree where Cudjoe, the leader, united the runaway Africans (called Maroons) in their fight against the British and from where we could see the expanse and beauty of the country and mountains–a truly spiritual experience. Members of the community welcomed us and shared not only their proud history but also their present achievements. We met many local people, visited the school, met the principal, watched as the children prepared for a sporting event, saw the library that had just been built, and visited the museum. This is a trip that most tourists do not make, but I highly recommend it. I could go on and on because we had so many wonderful experiences while staying at One Rhythm, but it all comes down to Ms Annette and Johnny. We cannot thank them enough for helping us get a glimpse of the history, the culture, and the people of Jamaica and cannot wait to come back. Until then, One Love and Respect!
We just spent 6 fantastic days at One Rhythm. The house and location (just a short walk to a gorgeous beach) were perfect. Ms. Annette was a wonderful hostess and an amazing cook. She was able to facilitate everything we wanted to do. Johnny Blaze, the driver, was a great guy. Not only was he a top notch driver, he was an insightful tour guide with a vast knowledge of Jamaican flora and fauna, culture, and history. The location is off the beaten track, but there's a friendly bar/club a short walk down the beach. There's also a whole row of local souvenir vendors and craftspersons, including some really talented woodcarvers, located just off the beach. The town of Duncans has local markets and a post office, and the ride to Montego Bay is about half an hour. We had a tremendous experience in this beautiful villa and on the serene beach, but the best part of One Rhythm was meeting Ms. Annette & Johnny. They gave us a warm welcome and a true feel for the real Jamaica. Can't wait to return.
From beginning to end, One Rhythm and Miss Annette were wonderful, just the winter getaway we needed for two couples. Our welcoming dinner was delicious local foods, which continued meal after meal from Miss Annette's kitchen - fresh fish, lobster, banana fritters, fresh vegetables and fruit. Don't miss trips to the Duncans' grocery store and Falmouth market with Miss Annette. We rented a car at the airport to explore the island, and Miss Annette always had good suggestions on when and where to go - we were the first rafts down the Martha Brae thanks to her tip - a leisurely jungle float with parrots chattering in the trees. Nice estate tour and high tea at Good Hope Estate, only about 25 minutes from One Rhythm - we had the place to ourselves while most tourists did the zip line or 4x4 tour. We drove over the Cockpit Country to visit the Appleton Rum Factory on the south side - a crazy drive, but a true glimpse of the real Jamaica - small towns, jungle valleys, windy roads, children in smartly pressed uniforms walking to school. Skip the GPS - the same friendly rural taxi driver gave us directions when we got lost, and thirty minutes later when we looped back around on another rutted lane - "Hey mon, I thought I told you to go to Jackson Town - you must like driving in the bush, mon!" Left side driving was pretty exciting - just take it slow and watch for goats and oncoming trucks.
The beach, steps away, was mostly deserted, perfect for long walks and swims in warm shallows, then back to watch the magnificent frigate birds catch morsels as the local fishermen cleaned the morning's catch outside Leroy's, the local beach bar. Don't miss the fried chicken there, with a bottle of Red Stripe. The small neighborhood behind the beach has only a couple dozen homes, with narrow gravel lanes - we birded one morning and saw parrotlets, olive chested parakeets, and vervain hummingbirds, the world's second smallest. Miss Annette's saffron finches flock to the backyard each morning just for her (and you!). Go snorkeling with Mushtaq - reef fish & more!
Tree frogs serenaded us at night, with the warm breeze shuffling the palm branches. The friendliness and generosity of everyone we met, from shopkeepers to tour guides, and every stranger along the street or beach - we felt welcomed at every turn, guests instead of mere tourists. As Tony, a local who sold crafts outside Leroy's said with a big smile and a thumb rub to me, "Hey mon, it's about respect, mon!"
This was our 4th trip to Duncan's Bay, and our 3rd consecutive year's stay at One Rhythm. There is no other place in the world for us to have the restful, peaceful vacation that we always need. We spent our days on a beach that was steps away from the villa, and some days we were almost the only ones on the entire beach. Ms Annette is probably the main reason we keep coming back to One Rhythm. She is awesome in every way! She anticipates our needs, even remembering that we love the local fish and lobster for dinner each night. She procured lobster in advance of our arrival, just to make sure that we would have it if the seas were rough for the fishermen. She even had crab for us... a real delicacy! We went snorkeling, which Ms Annette arranged for us, and also took her out to celebrate her birthday. Johnny, the driver, was also great. He took us to the Bend Down Market... a must see! And he also took us anywhere else we wanted to go. We stayed an extra day again this year so that we could go to Leroy's Bar two times. The local band only plays there on Saturday nights, and it is so much fun! We visited the local caves this year, a first for us. Mostly we enjoyed spending time on the beach, resting, and eating Ms Annette's wonderful meals...... could not pay for that kind of food in any restaurant!! We have gotten to know many of the local people who live and work in Duncan's Bay. They remember us from year to year. Karen's villa is so beautifully decorated, and the local people really respect her, because she has done so much for their community. We feel very safe staying in her villa because of that respect that she has. We plan to return to Duncan's Bay, but only if we can stay at One Rhythm!!
This was Our first Year in Duncan's and One Rhythm Villa was Awesome, Ms. Annette had everything under control from the time we arrived till our departing day and personally I will miss her..... She is an Awesome cook and she help with gifts for friends and family, we also attended Church with her and Friends, we were Welcomed into there lives and the way they lived here in Jamaica....Karen you have an Awesome Staff and also Johnny our Driver was also a Great Friend also we attended his Local Bar and the Food was Great.....We walked to town one day and it was Great but wish it had a side walk so you didn't have to dodge Cars....LOL
I can only Say that This Villa "One Rhythm " and the Staff are No.1 and I would Recommend it to OUR Family and Friends...... God Bless

So yesterday I attempted to brew a pale ale. Missed my OG by quite a bit. My computer died so I was playing it by ear and, well, my ear sucks.
I think the biggest problem is that I have about 12 gallons instead of 10. So instead of 1.051 I got about 1.044.
2. Would it be possible or recommended to boil up a very concentrated DME batch and toss it in the wort? I added yeast this morning.
Or could I add a cup of corn sugar? What to do? This is going to be for Thanksgiving. I kind of need this beer to be decent and not some watery crap.
1. this beer will not be ready by thanksgiving. there is not enough time to complete the fermentation and finish carbonating it. it will taste like crap on thanksgiving. better make it a christmas beer.
2.Yes, you could boil up a pound of extract in a quart or so of water, cool it, then add it to the fermenter (if there is room).
Tap: Centennial IPA (SMASH)
Tap: Dogfish Head Ginger Saison
Bottle: Stone 11th Anniversary Black IPA clone
Secondary: Flemish Brown Sour Ale
Agree with #2 above. It should be fine.

shopper insights
Posted by Barry Silverstein on July 18, 2012 05:11 PM
Private label products, also known as store brands, have never enjoyed so much popularity. Years ago, generic products were seen as inferior and dull, but today, economic conditions and a distinct improvement in product quality have given private labels a new desirability.
In the U.S., store brands are thriving. A recent study of 500 U.S. consumers conducted by the management consulting company Accenture shows that 64 percent of shoppers' grocery carts were at least half full of store brands — and 39 percent said they've bought more store brands in recent years.
That trend is not limited to the United States. A new report from IBISWorld, Australia's largest provider of industry-based research, notes that private labels will account for over 30 percent of supermarket sales in Australia by 2017-18.Continue reading...

Pulling away at a "go" light, plug-in hybrids like the Chevrolet Volt have a big advantage over all-electric cars like the Nissan Leaf — because they have a gasoline engine on board that can provide the required performance punch.
That's sort of what is happening in sales of Volt versus Leaf as well. While the Chevrolet sold nearly 1,700 vehicles in June and, at 8,800, has more than tripled the number it sold last year, Nissan could only report sales of 535 Leafs in the U.S. last month. For the year to date, Leaf sold only about 3,400 units, down 19 percent from last year.
A Nissan spokeswoman told the Detroit News that the main reason for the decline in Leaf sales is that Nissan has been moving away from a "web-driven, build-to-order system that was designed to handle initial sales to more of a traditional dealer-based model."
As for Volt, "We're still trying to manage the production to demand," Chris Perry, Chevrolet's CMO, told brandchannel. "We still haven't totally filled the inventory needs growing in California and some other markets. We're still not sure how high is high with this product."Continue reading...

London 2012
Posted by Mark J. Miller on July 15, 2012 01:19 PM
With less than two weeks left before the XXX Olympics (hold your snickers) kick off on July 27th, brands that paid big bucks to be involved are getting their names out there in every way possible while those who didn't unload their wallets are keeping busy figuring out how they can capitalize on all those eyeballs without getting themselves into any kind of trouble. But first, a word from an Olympics sponsor:
McDonald's Succumbs to Chip Pressure
Britain, of course, is known for its fine fish and chips so it seemed like blasphemy, especially to the workers at this year's Games, that the only fries that would be available in Olympic venues would be sold by American fast-food giant McDonald's — which is, of course, an official IOC sponsor — at its temporary restaurants on the Olympics site. Following an outcry, the London 2012 Organizing Committee has agreed to allow other vendors of chips on the premises, which comes as good news to the 800 food vendors who can now sell their chips to Olympics visitors and personnel. It's not a huge chip off the shoulders of McDonald's UK, which projects that revenue from Olympics sales will represent less than 0.1% of its annual sales.Continue reading...

Facebook wants to become your job board of choice and your online bank, as it vies to drive engagement, utility and users' virtual homepage on the web and mobile.
The social network is supporting an innovative app (now in beta) from Australia's Commonwealth Bank, which would enable customers to make payments to third parties and Facebook friends on the site, using its own authentication system, as it currently does for its online customers and its CommBank Kaching mobile app users.
"There are certain things, whether it's financial services, or banking where I don't necessarily want my friends to know exactly what I'm doing, right? I want to be able to go in and have an experience with my advisor or my bank and have that be a one-on-one experience," said David Robinson, Facebook's director of global marketing solutions, U.S. financial services, to Fortune.
While Facebook declined to confirmed other banks it's working on virtual banking services with, a spokesperson did comment to Fortune: "Facebook is a platform and a partnership company. We are supportive of brands and agencies, across industries, using the platform to better serve their customers."Continue reading...

It's 7-Eleven Day, so slurp it up! Highlighting the obvious tie-in between its brand name and event marketing manna from heaven, 7-Eleven stores long ago picked July 11 (7/11) at the height of North America's summer to throw a party and drive customers to the Slurpee machine.
To celebrate the convenience store chain's 85th year in business, 7-Eleven is giving away free 7.11 (of course) ounce Slurpee drinks between 11 AM and 7 PM local time (not, alas, 7 AM-11 PM) on 7/11/12. Last year, 7-Eleven handed out 5 million Slurpee drinks on 7-Eleven Day. This year, how many do you think they expect to distribute? Why, 7 million, of course.Continue reading...

Australians have been enjoying Pie Face bakery cafes since 2003. There are now 75 locations dotted along the continent's eastern coastline.
It currently has a single store in the U.S., located in New York next to David Letterman's NYC home at the Ed Sullivan Theater just north of Times Square (hence its tagline, "From Bondi Beach to Broadway").
But don't worry, Americans, your days of living without Pie Face's version of the humble Australia meat pie may be soon coming to an end.
Steve Wynn, the founder and CEO of Wynn Resorts who has been in the biz since 1963 when he took over his family's Maryland bingo parlor, is investing $15 million into Pie Face to help the brand expand.
"Having met the Pie Face USA management team recently and having visited their first store in New York, I came to the conclusion that they were bright people with a bright concept," Wynn stated. "I look forward to backing them as they expand throughout Manhattan and across the United States."Continue reading...

DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) — It's tempting for Chicago Cubs fans to pay as much attention to Triple-A Iowa as the struggling big league club.
Iowa's lineup is a daily reminder that Chicago's future might be as bright as any team in baseball.
DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) — It's tempting for Chicago Cubs fans to pay as much attention to Triple-A Iowa as the struggling big league club.
Iowa's lineup is a daily reminder that Chicago's future might be as bright as any team in baseball.
The recent promotion of Cuban outfielder Jorge Soler, who is ranked 54th on MLB.com's list of the top 100 prospects in baseball, has given the I-Cubs a lineup that's the envy of baseball. With Soler slotted fifth behind middle infielder Javier Baez (ranked No. 6 by MLB.com) and third baseman Kris Bryant (No. 4), Iowa has a heart of the order that's as promising as any Triple-A team in recent memory.
The Double-A Tennessee Smokies are stacked as well, with Addison Russell (No. 7) and Albert Almora (No. 41) providing hope that Chicago's streak of consecutive losing seasons could be over by 2015.
"We were ranked the top system in baseball," Cubs president Theo Epstein said. "That is nice to the extent it reflects a lot of hard work by scouts and player development people as well as the players themselves. It really doesn't mean anything. We are in last place, so almost by definition, our work lies ahead of us."
The Cubs have largely resisted the urge to rush their top prospects to the big leagues, with the exception of the recent call up of Arismendy Alcantara.
Bryant's performance as a first-year pro has undoubtedly tested that patience.
Bryant, the No. 2 pick in the 2013 draft, has hit 33 home runs in just 380 at-bats, with 30 doubles, 87 RBI and an OPS of 1.112 between Tennessee and Iowa entering Tuesday's game at New Orleans.
Though Bryant, 22, likely still won't see Chicago until 2015 at the earliest, that's fine by him for now.
"If I'm focusing on that, then I'm not really playing as hard as I can here," he said. "Something I told myself going into the year is to not focus on getting called up or promoted to a different level. Just go up there and take it day by day."
Chicago's measured approach has helped Baez mature into an elite middle infield prospect. Iowa manager Marty Pevey said he's seen Baez's intensity and concentration levels exponentially grow since April.
Baez is set to play mostly at second base for the rest of the year, with Chicago's Starlin Castro seemingly blocking his path. But Pevey believes Baez has the tools to be a shortstop in the majors.

The Wallabies are one of the heavyweight nations of international rugby and are currently ranked second in the IRB world rankings since reaching the semi-finals of the 2011 Rugby World Cup.
The Wallabies hold the distinction of having competed in all seven editions of Rugby World Cups, having won the tournament twice, made the final on one separate occasion and made the semi-finals and quarter-finals twice each in the remaining four editions of the tournament.
The Wallabies traditionally compete in the annual Tri-Nations tournament with New Zealand and South Africa, and have won the competition on three occasions.
The Wallabies compete in the Rugby Championship with the All Blacks, Springboks and Argentina, with the four-team tournament introduced in 2012, replacing the existing Tri-Nations format that had been in operation since 1996.
Australia's rivalry with the All Blacks culminates in the showdown for the Bledisloe Cup, which the Wallabies have held 12 times in the history of competing for the trophy.
The Wallabies, along with the All Blacks and Springboks, are the most successful nation in World Cup history winning the Webb Ellis Trophy on two occasions, while also losing a final at home to England in 2003.
In addition to the All Blacks and Springboks, the Wallabies also have firmly-established rivalries with England and France and compete for the Cook Cup and Tophie des Bicentenaires respectively.
Former captain George Gregan currently holds the record for the highest-capped Wallabies player, having played in the green and gold 139 times, 59 of those as captain. Flanker George Smith remains the most-capped forward, having represented Australia on 110 occasions. David Campese holds the record for the most Wallabies tries scored, while Michael Lynagh remains the Wallabies all-time leading point-scorer, with 911.

Here in the US, we mainly mark April 15th as the dreaded Tax Day — but a brighter way to remember this auspicious day is as the birthday of the lauded Renaissance master painter, Leonardo da Vinci!
Born on April 15th, 1452, Leonardo is perhaps the most recognized artist in the world. Not only was he a staggeringly talented painter, he was also a skilled scientist and genius inventor, greatly increasing the knowledge of the time on subjects such as anatomy, weaponry, geology, mathematics, and so much more. In a very real way, Leonardo da Vinci was the original Renaissance Man!
Leonardo has been an inspiration to millions over the centuries — not only in artistic and scientific ideas, but as an icon of all that we feel a genius artist should stand for: invention, innovation, and a dedication to beauty. (Not to mention inspiring countless copies like this one of the Mona Lisa). But his household name is also used to imply these qualities in products — and here we've picked out a few of our favorites!
Some of our very favorite art supplies are named after our favorite Renaissance man; from oil paints and watercolors to kids' art supplies and studio easels, the name "da Vinci" marks them all!
So on this fresh spring day, think not of taxes and W-2's — think of everyone's favorite master painter, and the art, ideas, and materials he's inspired throughout the years. Then join us in wishing him a very Happy Birthday, Leonardo da Vinci!
Brazilian watercolorist Marcelo Daldoce is known for his skilled, luminous watercolor paintings, ranging from loose studies and sketches to meticulously detailed and even sculpted works. Needless to say, the 'success' of his paintings often hinges on the quality of the supplies used, be they paints, papers, brushes and more — as it does for any artist. Recently, Marcelo sat down to sketch with some Turner Concentrated Artists' Watercolors and GarzaPapel Handmade Watercolor paper — both of which are Jerry's exclusive items — and was kind enough to share his experiences with us!
Turner Artists' Watercolors reach a good combination of pigments and gum arabic. There is a good consistency that makes it vibrant and lightfast with a nice paint flow.
Like other brands, some colors are better than others. I favored the Cadmium and Burnt colors. The oxides and manganese violet had a gummy texture; which is normal in other brands. The highlight is the cost. For a 15ml tube you get good quality for a good price.
GarzaPapel Handmade Watercolor Paper absorbs the paint nicely. The cold press took a good time to dry; thus, making it easy to connect colors. I used the 280 lb. so, expectedly, there were no wrinkles while wet. The texture it leaves is a nice grain texture (perfect for loose watercolor paint). It has all the qualities good paper should have: acid free, handmade, 100% cotton. In addition, the cotton is 50% recycled, making it eco-friendly.
Both Turner and GarzaPapel are at the professional range and can compete with other established watercolor brands.
They are definitely worth a try!
Check out the video below to watch Marcelo sketch a figure from life using Turner Watercolors on GarzaPapel paper!

If yesterday's dual bankruptcy filings by two of the country's largest airlines have you fretting about your frequent-flier miles, here's some advice: don't worry.

Tick tock….Delta's insolvency is nigh
Not that it surprises anyone, but Delta Air Lines's death spiral has entered the final phase. Its stock now trades in the sub-$1 market netherworld that precedes total financial collapse. As of 2:45 local time, its shares were selling for 91 cents. That gives the third-largest U.S. airline a market value of just $144 million. […] [Read More]
Are environmental regs to blame for refining shortage?
That's the question James Hamilton ponders in this interesting discussion on Econbrower. Hamilton looks at changing fuel standards and refining capacity during the past 20 years. His conclusion: The simultaneous decrease in the number of refineries and increase in the number of separate markets has meant that a far smaller number of suppliers compete in […] [Read More]
With adjustments like these …
The electric bill for August just arrived, and something caught my eye in addition to the horrendous size of the amount due.

Now, it's possible that […] [Read More]

Call today for information on dental implants!
Greenville Oral &
Maxillofacial Surgeons offer a wide range of oral surgery services.
Our staff is highly trained and experienced in their practice. We
provide a variety of surgical procedures including wisdom teeth
extraction. In most cases, wisdom teeth end up doing more harm than
good. They could end up causing teeth to shift if there is not
enough room for them to grow in correctly. We also provide dental
implants to replace missing teeth. Dental implants are surgically
implanted using a titanium anchor that is inserted into the jaw
where the missing tooth was.
We offer wisdom teeth extraction services for patients who are referred to us by their dentist. Getting your wisdom teeth removed is usually recommended because, in most cases, they grow in misaligned or crooked. When wisdom teeth grow incorrectly they cause a lot of pain and need to be removed to avoid further complications.
Proper oral and maxillofacial surgery requires years and years of hospital-based surgical and anesthesia training after graduation from dental school. Luckily, the folks at Greenville Oral & Maxillofacial Surgeons are well equipped to provide the very finest in oral surgery to all Greenville, NC residents. Our trained and talented surgeons specialize in dental implants and wisdom teeth removal, and love serving the local community.

As oral and maxillofacial surgeons, Drs. Muchiteni & Salzer manage a wide variety of problems relating to the mouth, teeth and facial regions. Dr. Muchiteni & Salzer practice a full scope of maxillofacial and oral surgery with expertise ranging from dental implant surgery and wisdom tooth removal to fractured jaw surgery.
Oral surgery like wisdom teeth removal requires a patient to be under anesthesia. Getting your wisdom teeth removed is not always necessary but always recommended. Getting wisdom teeth removed helps to prevent problems from occurring in the future as the wisdom teeth grow in. Sometimes complications occur at an early age and wisdom teeth need to be removed right away.
There are a number of reasons a patient may need oral surgery. One of the most common reasons to need surgery is to extract wisdom teeth. Dental implants are another reason patients may need surgery. Our staff is trained in assisting with Intravenous (IV) sedation or outpatient general anesthesia in our state-of-the-art office setting. Patients are continuously monitored during and after oral surgery.
surgeons provide a wide variety of treatments for oral diseases,
injuries and defects. Oral surgeons can administer anesthesia to
remove impacted teeth or perform other complex procedures. We also

Surgical Staff
The surgical staff at Greenville Oral & Maxillofacial Surgeons is experienced, certified oral and maxillofacial surgical assistants, who assist in administration of IV sedation/general anesthesia and surgery. Our staff is composed of informed administrative personnel that are well-versed in health and insurance policies.
teeth removal and dental implants are two of the most common oral
surgery procedures. Impacted wisdom teeth require surgery because
the teeth are still covered by the gums. If your wisdom teeth are
causing you pain, removal may be necessary. Dental implants are
also common to replace missing teeth. Dental implants replace a
tooth's root with a metal implant that is inserted into the
Dial (252) 364-3280 today, and be sure to ask about our innovative dental implant procedures. We cater to all Wilson, NC and Greenville, NC residents!
Dental implants have effectively changed the entire world of oral surgery. This technology has been designed to provide a firm foundation for replacement teeth which function in the same way as natural teeth. If you've recently lost a tooth, the right implant will help you to regain full chewing function, as well as a perfectly preserved smile. It's time you started to smile with confidence again!
What exactly are Dental Implants?
The implants themselves are tiny titanium posts, which are inserted into the jawbone where teeth are missing. These metal anchors act as tooth root substitutes. They are surgically placed into the jawbone. The bone bonds with the titanium, creating a strong foundation for artificial teeth. Small posts are then attached to the implant, which protrude through the gums. These posts provide stable anchors for artificial replacement teeth.
Implants will also help to preserve your delicate facial structure and prevent any bone deterioration that's often caused by missing teeth.
Has the time come to remove those wisdom teeth? If so, be sure to speak with one of our representatives today.
Wisdom teeth are generally the last teeth to erupt within the mouth. In some cases, they'll align in proper fashion and won't have to be removed. Unfortunately, this isn't always the case. The removal of wisdom teeth is often necessary if they're growing sideways or remain trapped beneath the gum and bone. To salvage the structure of your mouth and jaw, our team of professionals can promptly and effectively stop these teeth from causing additional damage.
Our team is well equipped to perform both major and minor bone grafting services...

Bailing Out Detroit? Sure, Why Not!
Obama won; so: Detroit wants its free goodies.
The city of Detroit faces a major financial crisis and one member of city council thinks President Barack Obama should step in and help.
City Council member JoAnn Watson said Tuesday the citizens support of Obama in last month's election was enough reason for the president to bailout the struggling the city. (Click the video player to listen)
"Our people in an overwhelming way supported the re-election of this president and there ought to be a quid pro quo and you ought to exercise leadership on that," said Watson. "Of course, not just that, but why not?"
Nearly 75 percent of Wayne County voters pulled the lever for Obama in November.
"After the election of Jimmy Carter, the honorable Coleman Alexander Young, he went to Washington, D.C. and came home with some bacon," said Watson. "That's what you do."
GM and Chevrolet were going bankrupt, but the unions helped Obama get elected; so they got help. Solyndra helped Obama get elected; so it got help. Detroit wants help. Illinois is going to want help. California is going to want help.
Incidentally, by "help," I mean money. Moreover, when I say "money," I mean YOUR TAX DOLLARS.
We're moving towards a society where the people who vote politicians into office and the people who pay for everything are entirely different groups of people. That seems unlikely to work out well over the long term.

I'm not sure how I could sync the phone to the flashes. Right now all I have is a bunch of Vivitar 283's, I have made some brackets that will mount them together with daylight regular light bulbs as sort of modeling lights, but I wonder how accurate a rendition those would give. As for metering, I am not sure if my flash meter does reflected light readings in flash mode or just incident light readings; the former would be very useful for estimating light coverages as you have suggested. A book I am using for reference suggests adjusting the light intensities based on reflected readings but I have never used my meter as a flash meter this way, and the user's guide has long disappeared. I liked the idea of a Polaroid or d**tal camera with the same manual controls as my "real" cameras to get a more precise indication of how the final shots would look - but you are probably right, atleast I think you suggest implicitly, that with experience perhaps the need to do this goes away.
I recently did a studio portrait job both digitally and with film. the digital looked terrible and film looked perfect. Just saying...
For me an indispensable tool is a mirror.
Digital cameras are photographic tools that are ideally suited for certain tasks. To not use them out of some purist sensibility makes little sense to me. The money spent to obtain a suitable polaroid camera and film supplies could be better spent on the film that is actually going to be used to make the final photographs. I would (and have) used digital cameras for this sort of purpose without one iota of guilt or shame.
Dan, StevR: I do of course agree with you. In fact, upon perusing this thread and thinking about it more, I have gone ahead and arranged to acquire a Nikon D100 back. It is supposed to arrive Monday. I can use it fully manually with my existing lenses and external metering, and it will be a good tool to use for projects like this, or indeed any project where previewing the lighting before using up precious film is important.
I didn't really want to burn anyone at the stake, especially as I would now have to include myself. The final pics I will shoot on Portra 160 or 400, depending on how the lighting works out.
Using digital tools is not cause to be burnt at the stake.
Using APUG to discuss using digital tools is cause to be (at least figuratively) burnt at the stake.
The difference is subtle, but important.
I've used Hasselblad and Mamiya medium format cameras with FP-3000B just to learn about how things used to be done.
The main problems with this are that if you use something like Illford PAN-F Plus ISO 50 like I was, you have to do some stuff like take photos of a gray patch chart to see how much EV compensation (in addition to the compensation for the difference between ISO 3000 and 50) is needed for a correct exposure. For example, after the ISO conversion I found that I needed something like +0.5EV for the instant film and +1 or +1.5EV on my negative film (reading from from EV compensation set to 0 on my light meter.) This is because the real ISO of film is never exactly the even number it's supposed to be.
Also, instant film seems to have a rather curvy high-contrast tone response curve. Newer films will be more linear in their tone response. Therefore even if you figure out the exposure adjustments needed to get both films to expose the same for middle gray, the instant film will probably have poorer dynamic range and higher contrast compared to normally developed negative film, even if both are relatively modern. So shadows that look plugged and highlights that look totally blown on instant film may be perfectly acceptable on your "real" negative film.
In short, I doubt that instant film is ever going to show you exactly what you want and you'll have to spend some time figuring out what sorts of things that look bad on instant are actually OK on negative film.
Using digital for "proofs" is probably your best bet, but digital sensors tend to not have as good dynamic range as negative film that's exposed exactly +/-0 stops from perfect. So even then you probably won't get something exact, but it'll probably be much better than instant. Anyway, digital sensors tend to be very linear. Depending on how the RAW from the sensor is processed, you might be shown the "wrong" tone curve on a digital camera. I think most digital cameras tend to use a film-like gamma curve though so I'm guessing that will be close enough for most purposes. To do any better you'd have to match the film's tone curve in something like Adobe Camera Raw, and furthermore come up with some sort of single-shot "high dynamic range" tweaking to make the dynamic range look closer to film.
At least that's what I think the deal is based on my studies....
Just for a little perspective, there is a fellow forum member and large format hiking buddy (who shall remain nameless) who purchased a new digital light meter before a previous hike... Pity it was trapped inside a canon 7d, but still, it metered well, and also replaced his Linhof viewer at the same time... Quite a useful accessory really... And you can't tell me his chromes looked any worse for not using a composition card and a sundial...
