Hair Color Ideas for Aging Hair
If you really want to erase the unwelcome signs of hair aging (dull color, lack of shine, grays) try these hair color ideas before assuming any box of hair dye is the fountain of youth.Luckily, you can ditch those grays and restore the vitality of yesteryear with a little hair coloring 101.
MORE: The Best Hair Color for Your Skintone
Whether you want to go bold or stay subtle, following certain tricks when adding a new hue to your 'do can shave years off your look. Just follow these expert tips depending on your hair's natural color:
Black/Dark Brown Hair
"As a woman ages, it would benefit her to become slightly lighter," adds Stanko. "So as a little girl, if you were a soft black or dark brunette, some degree of brunette would be appropriate, but not too dark because dark colors accentuate other dark colors." Meaning, it can put the spotlight on age spots, dark circles under the eyes or flaws on the skin."When hair is really dark and the gray starts to kick in, it bothers women tremendously around the top or temples where they can see it," says Stanko. "The idea is to blend and cover her gray, keep her dark, rich and shiny, but not make her too brassy chocolate-y."Try going one to two shades lighter than your natural hair color, and opt for some highlights around the face—just make sure they are a lighter brown or caramel color, not blonde because that would add too much contrast against a dark base. (Skunky highlights are never a good look.)
Medium/Light Brown Hair
All browns are not created equally, says Scrivo. "There is a world of brown and the key is to find the right one for you." To do that, choose a shade that is one to two shades away from the natural color you had in your 20s, and add highlights that are two shades lighter. That way, you avoid a monotone look. "You want to have numerous shades within your palette," adds Scrivo. "Go a little lighter through the ends, a little deeper at the roots, with natural-looking highlights. You want to mimic what nature would do on its own."

Scoutmaster Musings
Healthy Scouts, Strong Scouts
Does your Scouting unit include healthy drink, snacks, and activity in all its meetings? It's easy to do, but often lacking. Regular physical activity and healthy eating are two areas for improvement in most Scouting units, in order to advance that "physically strong" part of our oath.
So, the BSA has started a simple 3 step program to help units moving in the right direction. All you need to do is: Drink Right, Move Move, and Snack Smart. If your scouts are motivated by patches, they can all receive a free one if your unit tracks its efforts.
This new Healthy Unit program is aligned with the ScoutStrong program. I blogged about the ScoutStrong program 2 years ago.
Download this PDF file with all the details about getting your unit on a healthy path and receiving free patches for your effort.
HealthyKidsHub has more info and ideas you can use.

300 pages from Cleveland poet Daniel Thompson, poet laureate of Cuyahoga County, Ohio.
Daniel had what Robert Frost called a lover's quarrel with the world, as well as with his country and his Comeback City, Cleveland. . . .We hear the snap, crackle and pop of his wit playing against the weight of the world. . . .Some of his most memorable poems come out of the quarrel with himself, that dark honey, tinged with the metallic taste of loss, the old wars of the heart. . . .Daniel Thompson was a man who, as Whitman said of himself, was 'not contained between his hat and his boots'…. Daniel's last gift to us, his life's work, what he gathered in his sixty-nine years, over three hundred pages of poems, is this book, this big jug of honey, which you have in your hands. Taste and see. From the "Foreword" by Maj Ragain

Michaelangelo Antonioni dies
CommentsAdd +
The director of 'Blowup', 'Zabriske Point' and 'The Passenger' has died at the age of 94
Born in Ferrara, Italy in September 1912, Antonioni flirted with business and journalism before eventually joining the Centro Sperimentale di Cineamatographia film school in 1940. He went on to write a screenplay for Roberto Rossellini and make a series of documentaries, the success of which helped him finance his first feature film, 1950's 'Story of a Love Affair'.
But it wasn't until 'L'avventura' in 1960 that he found international acclaim. The story of a woman's disappearance on a boating trip, the film was booed when it first screened in Cannes, but eventually went on to win the Festival's jury prize.
His next three films – 'The Night', 'The Eclipse' and 'The Red Desert' – all employed sparse dialogue and long takes to present Antonioni's vision of man's alienation in the modern world, a theme that would underpin his work throughout his career.
Antonioni then travelled to London to make his first English-language film, 'Blowup'. Starring David Hemmings as a fashion photographer who may or may not have captured a murder on film, it earned Antonioni Oscar nominations for best screenplay and best director.
He followed that with 'Zabriskie Point', a complex comment on American consumerism and materialism, and 'The Passenger', which starred Jack Nicholson as a journalist researching a documentary in the North African desert, the latter of which was recently re-released to great critical acclaim.
Jack Nicholson went on to present Antonioni with a special lifetime achievement award in 1995, though due to poor health, his output dramatically decreased over the last 20 years of his life, his last film being a segment of the 2004 triptych 'Eros'. He is survived by his wife of 20 years, Erica.

Sorry for the late start today. Had to make a quick trip to downtown Chicago and got caught in some morning traffic. The good news is, I got to hear Ohio State coach Jim Tressel on Mike & Mike in the Morning. He reiterated that running back Chris "Beanie" Wells is doubtful for Saturday night's game against top-ranked USC (ABC, 8 p.m. ET). He added that the decision likely will be to play Wells sparingly or not at all. So it's unlikely Wells will play a major role in the game, even if he gets off the sidelines.
Let's start the links with the game everyone's talking about:

We used bread that had a little garlic to it so we didn't do the basil pesto & used a little Famous Dave's chicken seasoning instead of pepper. Very hearty & filling.
These really are the BEST grilled sandwiches. Thank you Suzy729 for your recipe!!

No need to send me any data, I did swap dC and dH in the calculation - thanks for the catch!
I think something went wrong with the RGB levels to HSV levels transformation. I calibrated an older Epson projector to 75% saturation. The 100% primaries and secondaries are all oversaturated and have lower than reference luminance. R and C have near-perfect hue. See the attached file. All this is in line qualitatively with the RGB levels for each of the six colours. However, switching to HSV levels gives an S value smaller than 100% for both R and M. So in HSV values they appear undersaturated!
In other files B or G appear oversaturated in RGB, but incorrectly undersaturated in HSV.

Well, it turns out I just had my brightness set to high. This made 16 appear as a dark grey instead of black or video black. I'm still watching TV on this Toshiba 46sv709u. Experienced the artifacts that appear after adjusting color brightness, now I've solved that by increasing color while monitoring the CIE chart, thanks for the help Zoyd and the rest of you guys, now to start from scratch.

The way it's supposed to work and let me know if it doesn't is that when you enter a black Y value via the preferences page (not directly in the grid), the 0% pattern should be skipped in both manual and automatic mode when measuring grayscale, near-black, and contrast.
I seem to have come across an issue with the "Override black" feature. If I turn it on and do a "Near black gray scale" run, all the points will show the manual value, i.e. I will get a flat line.
Also, it would be useful to display the Target Y in the gray scale grid, especially in situations like this when it's no longer 0. Or highlight the column to indicate it's been overridden.

text: No recent wiki edits to this page. When the Fables left the Homelands and migrated to the Mundane world, they decided to ingratiate themselves with the general populace but still be an isolated community. Knowing that emergencies would arise that needed medical attention, the Knights of Malta hospital was established with Doctor Swineheart being the head physician and Mrs. Sprat being the head nurse. Of course, "mundies" can use the hospital as well, but there is a restricted wing that Swineheart and Sprat run that only Fables will ever see. When Boy Blue sustained massive injuries at the hands of Baba Yaga (who was posing as Red Riding Hood), he was taken to the Knights of Malta hospital to treat his injuries. Being, primarily, a battle surgeon, Dr. Swineheart patched Blue up, bandaged the vorpal sword to his hands, and sent him back to Fabletown in order to help in the ensuing battle with the Wooden Soldiers. Later, when Snow was giving birth, Dr. Swineheart delivered her babies. Much to Snow's surprise, she had seven children (although she only knew about six at the time).

Amazing Condo!
This condo was simply perfect for us! One bedroom overlooked the ocean and the other overlooked the gardens. It was perfectly sized for 4 guests. The view was amazing, the property owner was very easy to deal with, and it was extremely close to great restaurants and the highway. The wraparound deck gives you the most magnificent view of the ocean. I really loved the amenities - the kitchen was useful for cooking and keeping snacks, snorkel gear was provided, laundry is in the unit, and we ate everyday on the large deck. Something to keep in mind when booking this specific unit: there is no a/c but a great breeze off the ocean as well as many ceiling and stand fans, there is a partition separating the master bedroom from the living room which made it noisy when our friends were up earlier then we were, and there is no beach access from the condo area. Outside the room, a pool and tennis courts are available. I highly recommend staying here and would stay again in a heartbeat.

3-year, 8-month prisons terms in Nevada County robbery, manhunt case
AUBURN CA - A robbery that escalated into a manhunt has resulted in three-year, eight-month prison terms for two Nevada County men arrested after a search that covered parts of Lake of the Pines and the Darkhorse Golf Club.
Corey Locicero, 31, was sentenced on Monday in Nevada County Superior Court to a three-year term after pleading no-contest to a second-degree robbery charge. Eight months was added for a separate methamphetamine no-contest plea on a charge in a different case from earlier this year, Nevada County Deputy District Attorney James Phillips said Tuesday.
The second suspect – 19-year-old Jordan Rose – pleaded no contest to the same robbery charge and was sentenced to the same three-year prison term. He pleaded no contest to driving the vehicle involved in a chase that preceded the manhunt and was sentenced to an additional eight-month term, Phillips said.
The two were arrested June 14 after a manhunt that drew in the Lake of the Pines-area community when residents were notified through a reverse 9-1-1 call. The call was credited by authorities as a valuable tool in collaring the suspects.
The Nevada County Sheriff's Office reported at the time of the arrest that Locicero and Rose went on the run in the morning after reportedly pushing a man to the ground and taking his keys. The robbery followed the report of a suspicious vehicle parked on River Ranch Road in south Nevada County. The victim was uninjured.
Spotted and followed by a Nevada County District Attorney's Office investigator, the suspect vehicle drove onto the Dark Horse golf course and crashed into an embankment. The manhunt started after the two fled. They were in custody within three hours, after several sightings by Lake of the Pines residents and Darkhorse golfers.

Anyone here ever heard of Bongo Joe?
I was introduced to his music as a teen living in the SF Bay Area (I thought). The very first underground FM radio station, KMPX was the 1st to play the outlaw music like acid rock. They had a DJ that was a nut case and called himself Dr Demento. He played all kinds of off the wall music that strayed far from the standards of the day.
One of his favorite acts was Bongo Joe and he played a lot of his stuff. One song that sticks out after all these years is "Transistor Radio".
Bongo Joe played all over Texas and the southeast. He made his own drum kit from 55 gallon drums that he decorated and he played them with hammers, also decorated and shakers added.
When we were vacationing in 1966 or '67, we stopped to visit an aunt and uncle in San Antonio. Of course, they took us to all the tourist spots and when we went to the Alamo, I saw Bongo Joe in the plaza in front of it performing!
I had them stop the car so I could jump out and go listen to Bongo Joe. I couldn't believe I had actually stumbled upon him and was hearing some of the stuff I had listened to on the radio, except now it was live. We stood and watched for over an hour before everyone else wanted to go tour the Alamo. When we came back out, Joe was gone. But I could say I had seen him perform live. I dropped a twenty in his tip jar before we went in, though.
Find all of his stuff that you can. If you're into off the wall music, Bongo Joe is for you.
I hope ya'll enjoy the example I posted.

Answer 1
Do you just want to put a newer brighter bulb in it , or would you like the cause of it being on , to be diagnosed and repaired so the light only comes on for the 'self-check' and then goes off ?(read that as goofy , not malicious) Some auto parts stores will read the codes for you for free.(serious) If you have one available near you do that and WRITE the codes down or ask for a print-out if that's an option , then post the codes so we can help.(really serious) - ziptie12

Talk About Gelt Trips! with Only a Tin Cup, Sylvia Orzoff, 77, Has Begged $2 Million for Charity
At her post five hours a day, six days a week for 22 years, Orzoff raises funds like this: A man drops change in her blue-and-white "pushky," as the neighbors have dubbed her tin can, but withholds two quarters.
"How about the rest of it?" Sylvia demands.
"I need that to buy a paper," the man protests.
"Forget what you need," Sylvia shoots back, and with a shrug the man forks over his newspaper money.
The style grates on many people, and Sylvia has a few feuds going. She was boycotting Canter's, which she says accused her of freeloading a cup of coffee. But all is okay now. She also has a loyal clientele, which seems to embrace her as a mega-Jewish grandmother, or super noodge. "She does good work," admits deli owner Al Canter, although in a long-suffering tone. Says one regular giver, "I don't even know what she's collecting for; she's just a nice lady."
From what little she'll say, Sylvia has not had an easy life. The daughter of an itinerant butcher in Russia, she emigrated at 17 and spent 33 years in Chicago waitressing and raising a daughter, now in Arizona, and a son, who died a few years ago. Widowed, she moved to California in 1963 and lives on social security in a small, pleasant apartment near Canter's. Begging, or demanding, is her vocation now. "People need something to work for," she says, "not just have dinner and listen to TV." But it's a hard trade. "Pennies, pennies, they call that giving," she complains. "This is what I have to go through." Cough up, buster.

Governmentseverywhere are looking for opportunities to do more with less. One approach is tocreate a shared services organization so services canbe consolidated across departments or agencies (the city of Frankfurt is a good example). Private-sector product managers aregreat at this. They're the master jugglers who are responsible for deliveringthe right products at the right time to the greatest number of customers.
Productmanagers know how to find the sweet spot between features, functionality, cost,and schedule. Their best practices can be applied by public-sector agencies whendeveloping a shared services environment:
1. Know when to say no.
Some productshave a bewildering number of moving pieces and considerable complexity. Productmanagers often address this complexity by demanding consistency and resistingone-off additions. The same tactic canbe used in a consolidated services environment, where a single governmentagency must address a very large number of stakeholder needs. The approach: maximizescarce resources by providing services with the broadest applicability whileminimizing the complexities that often arise from a small number of uniqueneeds. Sometimes this means saying no to highly specialized features that are requiredby a single agency's program.
2. Scale, scale, scale.
Productmanagers try to create products that are useable by a large audience; customizationoften reduces that audience and adds cost andtime—not only while the product is being developed but throughout its use. Fora great example of how scale can drive efficiencies and cost savings across abroad community, check out our Economicsof the Cloud whitepaper. Scale is one of the most important principles forany group—private or public—that wants to maximize its investment in sharedservices.
3. Empower others.
It can beunnerving to hand the reins of service delivery to a third party. You mightassume that flexibility will evaporate, but that doesn't have to be the case. Savvyproduct managers know that they can preserve flexibility and increase customerconfidence by providing a range of configuration options on top of theirservices. By including flexibility within their offerings, shared servicesorganizations can provide a consistent foundation while empowering thecommunity to adjust the service to suit their individual needs. In a sense, theend user remains empowered to make use of shared services in a way thatreflects their own perspective and needs.
4. Think platforms.
Theconsistent foundation for a product or a group of services becomes a platform onwhich many line-of-business applications can be assembled. One great example ofthis in the physical product world comes from platform thinking inthe automotive industry. Ford developed the C-Carplatform, which shares design, engineering, and components among 10different cars. This reduces cost and complexity while helping Ford meet avariety of consumer needs. Similarly, the Microsoft CityNext program initiative provides a modern solutions platform thatshared services organizations can use to deliver common services while giving theirstakeholders a consistent foundation for innovation. This foundation providesscalable and repeatable services that will help drive efficiency and economiesof scale within governments.
When sharedservices leaders in the public sector begin to think like private-sector productmanagers, they have a better shot at finding the right balance between features,functionality, cost, and schedule for service delivery. The result: meaningfulsolutions, delivered to the broadest number of constituents in a way that exceedsobjectives for effective and efficient service delivery. It's a business modelthat makes good sense—for private as well as public entities.

The buzz remains around the NHL Winter Classic
PHILADELPHIA – The first Winter Classic was the first. It wasn't the first outdoor NHL game, but it was the first intended to showcase hockey to a large American TV audience. Snow fell. Sidney Crosby scored the shootout winner. What started out as a curiosity ended up picture-postcard perfect.
The next two were at iconic American venues: Wrigley Field and Fenway Park. It was intriguing enough just to see ice rinks in those particular baseball stadiums – new, fresh twists on old, familiar settings.
The last one was marketed as a matchup of the two faces of the league – Crosby vs. Alex Ovechkin – and hyped by a first-of-its-kind, behind-the-scenes HBO miniseries that gave fans a "24/7" perspective they had never had before.
This one … well, if you don't live in New York or Philadelphia, if you don't root for the Rangers or Flyers, it might feel like just another one. It isn't as much of a novelty, the second game with an HBO show, the fifth Winter Classic, the latest of a lineup of outdoor hockey events across North America. Citizens Bank Park, opened in 2004, isn't historic. The game isn't even on New Year's Day this time. It's Jan. 2, because Jan. 1 falls on a Sunday and the NFL is king.
But if there is less buzz about the Winter Classic elsewhere, you wouldn't know it here. You wouldn't have known it Saturday, as the stands fill up with orange, black and white, as little kids in Flyers uniforms tapped their sticks while the Flyers walked to the ice, as 45,808 fans chanted "LET'S GO, FLYERS!" and roared for Philly goals.
For the alumni game.
Here's the thing: The longer the NHL stages the Winter Classic, the harder it will be to keep it feeling fresh and important from a national perspective, and that's critical when it comes to TV ratings, corporate sponsorships and marketing potential. The NHL fancies this as a celebration of hockey itself, an event that transcends the teams involved, interests hard-core fans and introduces the sport to others.
But on a local level, it's like the Heritage Classic or the All-Star Game. It's fresh and important here this year, and it will be fresh and important wherever it goes next year. The city is excited, even if it's just because the Flyers are hosting, and the next city will be excited for its team to host, too.
There are two reasons why there is always so much interest in where the next Winter Classic will be before the current Winter Classic even starts: What will the NHL come up with next, and who's going to get it?
"I think what we always talk about is, 'So how does it get bigger?' " NHL chief operating officer John Collins said Saturday. "We're trying to balance the scale and how big this game feels in the local market with ultimately how hockey fans outside the market relate to the game and buy into the game during a really long regular season."
Is it OK with the NHL if that balance tips toward the local as time goes on?
"For us, yeah," Collins said. "It's always the way it is. But if you look at any game – you can look at the Super Bowl – the ratings in the participating markets are going to be more significant than national. Now for us, the trick is not only getting the local teams' fans and then ultimately hockey fans, but also exposing the sport to casual sports fans who maybe haven't had hockey on their radar for a little while and now they're starting to hear more about it."
You can be cynical about the Winter Classic if you want. It's only a regular-season game, not the Super Bowl or something.
The weather can be a big issue, as it was last year when it rained on Pittsburgh. It harkens back to a heritage most American fans frankly don't have – playing hockey outdoors. It's a fantasy.
But that's exactly what makes this such a remarkable achievement for the NHL. The league has turned what would be another run-of-the-mill regular-season game into something more. The weather cannot be controlled, but so far, there hasn't been a washout. Even if most Americans never played hockey outdoors, they have shown an appetite for watching it at least once a year. A fantasy becomes reality.
Eventually the NHL will exhaust its list of first-rate, first-time opportunities. But that time should not come in the next few years. The league has plenty of opportunities still to seize.
No. 1 is New York. The league has looked at several different venues ‐ CitiField, MetLife Stadium, the Yale Bowl, even West Point ‐ but the crown jewel, Yankee Stadium, is booked for a college football bowl game for two more years. It would make sense to wait.
Detroit wants the game. Michigan Stadium in nearby Ann Arbor should be the leading contender – offering the potential spectacle of more than 110,000 fans – but Red Wings owner Mike Ilitch also owns the Detroit Tigers, who play at Comerica Park in downtown Detroit.
Money is the main issue. The Big House would make sense only if sold out – empty seats would be the opposite of a spectacle – and the University of Michigan would want a cut. How much could you charge to make sure you fill the stands and the coffers for everyone? Could you charge more and make more at Comerica Park, even though the stadium is less than half the size?
A Michigan spokesman declined a request to interview athletic director Dave Brandon. Collins pointed out Ilitch's long-time commitment to downtown Detroit and desire for a new hockey arena.
"I think they understand how they could use it in Detroit to do what they want to do in terms of getting the new arena built and everything else," Collins said. "If we were to do something in the future in Detroit, I think what the plan is for downtown Detroit would be a big factor."
Washington wants the game. Minnesota wants the game. The list goes on, including novel ideas like playing under the sun in Miami.
"I think the commissioner has heard from just about everybody," Collins said.
NBC might be willing to include a Canadian team for the first time, too. Collins said the network had strong feelings about ratings when the Winter Classic began – two American TV markets made too much sense – but the event has grown to the point where one American city might be enough.
"I think if we could figure out the right matchup, maybe it would work, but we haven't talked about any of that yet," Collins said. Would an American TV audience watch, say, the Toronto Maple Leafs face the Detroit Red Wings?
The NHL must be careful. There have been internal discussions about allowing more American outdoor games in addition to the Winter Classic so more markets can get in on a good thing. But there can be too much of a good thing. If the novelty is already wearing off nationally, imagine if the Winter Classic wasn't the NHL's only American outdoor game.
"I think it's a balance," Collins said. "I think the business case is still being made in terms of how many of these games can you do and keep it special."
The NHL faces challenges, too. As good as the ice-making technology has become, it's still tough to freeze water well enough in the warmth of southern markets. As much as the league might like to go west, the 1 p.m. ET face-off remains key for TV. As much as the league might want to make every team happy, some simply draw better ratings than others.
How long can the NHL keep the Winter Classic enough of a novelty nationally? We'll see.
But there is a reason why so many teams want to host one, and this is it: As the sun set here Saturday, the city skyline lit up in the distance and the ice lit up below. Although it was only a bunch of old guys skating slowly in the middle of a baseball field and today's players were nowhere to be seen, the stands were still pretty much full of orange, black and white in the third period. The fans were still chanting "LET'S GO, FLYERS!"
There was a buzz here, and the Winter Classic still seemed pretty cool.
