'I let the song dictate what I left unsaid' – The Undercover Soundtrack, Reb MacRath
Posted by Roz Morris @Roz_Morris in Undercover Soundtrack on January 9, 2013
My guest this week was an award-winning horror genre writer, but turned indie to try to write the sort of novel he loved to read. For several years he published nothing while he struggled with his new challenge – a high-octane blend of suspense, swagger, humour and romance. Looking for a way to humanise an unlikable hero he found a guiding light in Rod Stewart's interpretations of American classics – a rocker thug who'd matured with surprising tenderness. He is Reb MacRath and he's on the Red Blog today with the Undercover Soundtrack for Southern Scotch.

The Curves adjustment in Adobe Photoshop has a reputation for being challenging for some photographers. In this workshop, Photoshop expert Tim Grey takes you step by step through every aspect of the Curves adjustment, helping you truly understand the concepts behind it so that you can quickly and easily maximize tonal range, optimize contrast, and enhance your photos' color balance. Note: This course was recorded in Photoshop CS5, but was created with users of both Photoshop CS5 and Photoshop CS4 in mind.
Just as you can focus a general curves adjustment on specific tonal values within an image, you can also focus color balance adjustments within curves to make the most of the colors within the various tonal ranges in the image. Beyond just the basic color balance adjustment, you can apply an adjustment that would be difficult, if not impossible, using other tools. For example, in this image I've already added a curves adjustment layer and I want to focus my effort on the dark areas of the rock. There's a little bit too much magenta in those dark rocks.
That means increasing the amount of green since green is the opposite of magenta. But I don't want to take away too much of the reds found in the foliage which are a little bit brighter. I've turned the On Image Adjustment feature, so that as I move my mouse over the image, we can see where on the curve each of these areas resides. To shift the color balance to reduce the amount of magenta in the rocks, I'll need to choose the green channel first since green and magenta are opposites. Choosing green, I can then adjust the green curve using the on-image adjustment.
I'll simply click in the rocks in order to add an anchor point for the darker areas of the image. I can then move my curve upward to add green, or downward to add magenta. In this case I want to add green to those dark shadow areas, not too much, just a little will go a long way. So maybe somewhere around there, for example. However, I do feel that the color in the follige is not looking it's best at this point. So I want to add another anchor point on my curve for the brighter areas, so that I can tone down the effect and make them look a little bit more magenta than green.
In this case it will actually be more a matter of keeping it the way it looked, rather than shifting it toward more magenta. So as you can see with this curve, I've increased the amount of green for the darkest areas of the image, but I've not really affected the overall color in the brighter areas of the image. Just to see what else might be possible, I'll click and add an additional anchor point further up the curve to affect the brightest areas within the image. As you can see, I can shift the color for those bright areas between green and magenta since I'm working on the green channel.
What that means is rather significant. I can adjust the color balance, for dark versus bright areas, or for any tonal range within the image, for that matter, in opposite directions. I can make the shadows more green, and therefore less magenta, and I can make the highlights more magenta and less green. This is a very powerful capability within curves. And of course I can work on any of the other color channels as well. Adjusting, for example, red versus cyan specifically for shadows versus highlights and potentially in opposite directions for each.
By carefully adjusting the curve for each of the individual color channels you can apply incredibly advanced color adjustments to an image. Which will help insure ideal results in your final photograph.

"I do not think it is constructive to grow up having billions of dollars. The idea that I will take a sizeable portion of my fortune and have them (children) in care of that, I do not think would be to society's benefit or to their benefit," Gates said replying to a specific query.
Gates, whose Microsoft Corporation rules over a major part of software used in desktops across the globe, has an estimated personal wealth of $ 42 billion.
The software icon, had on Monday announced an assistance of $ 100 million to combat spread of HIV/AIDS in the country. The Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, which is spearheading the initiative across the globe to slowdown the spread of AIDS, has an overall endowment of $ 24 billion.
Gates said he had spoken about his philosophy of giving back wealth to society even 15 years ago.

OTTAWA, Nov. 13, 2012 /CNW/ - The 500 job losses at Sun Media newspaper division underline the short-sighted strategies of a giant media company, says the largest media union in the country. "Dramatic downsizing is not the tool to use if newspapers want to transition into the local or national multimedia powerhouses they need to become." said Paul Morse, president of CEP Local 87-M, Southern Ontario News Media Guild. "This is a terrible day for quality journalism and good paying media jobs in Canada". Today, Sun Media announced downsizing in Québec and the closure of two production facilities in Ottawa and Kingston. "Once you kill what makes a newspaper valuable to its community by getting rid of too many of those people who produce quality content, you lose your audience, possibly forever." said CEP Vice-President Media, Peter Murdoch. "We recognize that newspapers face some economic challenges, but wholesale gutting of news organizations is not the way to position themselves for the future".

Art Nouveau Squiggly Things?
I think you are awesome, and I wish you the best in your endeavors, but I am tired of repeating myself, I am very busy with my new baby, and I am no longer a regular participant here, so please do not contact me to ask for advice on your career or education. All of the advice that I have to offer can already be found in the following links. Thank you.

That might not get you much in a search, but "art nouveau ornament" should.
BTW, Mucha's pattern books have been reprinted, I think by Dover.
EDIT: Yup, here you go.

Aha!! the word just came to me, its filigree, I don't think its the actual term for that type of squiggly stuff when done on art, but used to define jewelery and embroidery and squiggly pattern stuff, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Filigree
Thanks seedling and elwell , art nouveau and ornament were good searches with some good reference, much appreciated.

Preliminary Assessment of the Potential Geothermal Energy Resources of Flooded Abandoned Underground Mines in Ohio. Mark E. Wolfe, Ohio Division of Geological Survey. A high percentage of the more than 7,000 known abandoned underground mines in Ohio are partially or completely filled with water and are thus considered to be geohazards due to the potential for mine collapse or acid mine drainage. However, these mines may hold a key to unlocking a vast network of renewable geothermal energy. Wolfe presents an evaluation of the potential for recovery of geothermal energy resources from these mines for heating and cooling, with an associated economic benefit to surrounding communities. http://gsa.confex.com/gsa/2012NC/finalprogram/abstract_202725.htm (paper 13-2).
Mercury Biogeochemistry. Chad R. Hammerschmidt, Wright State University; Gary Conley, Ohio University, presiding. Mercury has contaminated Earth's landscapes and aquatic systems on a global scale. The problem is exacerbated by continuing anthropogenic emissions, recycling of a large reservoir of historic mercury pollution, and the microbial transformation of inorganic mercury to methylmercury -- a highly toxic, bioaccumulative compound that can biomagnify in aquatic food webs to levels that may be harmful to fish, wildlife, and humans.

The weather in CO was nice. I've been wearing mesh pants and a roost protector with a jersey. I found myself getting chilled at times and going for my windproof fleece. Also make sure you've got some rain gear, i've had mine on atleast once a day over the last 3 days.
A good 200 mile day on the TAT.

This day sucked!
I'm in the kimball wash area, the trails are epic out here, I'm digging all the rock ledges and banked walls to the trails. Then it happens, cruising down a straightaway, maybe doing 25-30 I go to cross a small puddle. All of a sudden I'm laying on my back looking up at the sky! I get up maybe 10 feet from my bike and see it almost entirely underwater, WTF....I took me a good hour plus to get it out. turns out it sucked up enough water to hydro-lock itself. Guess the one tool i forgot to bring, yeah, a spark plug socket.
This was a bad situation. I decided I'd try walking out to rt70, there was a rest stop 10+miles back at the start of the trail. About 4 miles into the walk i was able to find cell service and called the closest towing company. 30+ miles away...An hour and a half later a guy shows up in his little 4x4 ranger. amazing we were able to make it out to my bike and get it in the back of his truck.
I got stuck at 8am, and had my bike back and running at this guys shop by 6:30pm.....It was a long trying day. I had to think long and hard weather to turn east or west on rt 70 at the end of the day. I turned west.

Remember the perfume you sprayed on my pillow?...
Remember the perfume you sprayed on my pillow? Where is that woman who sprays her perfume on my pillow, who loves to spend hours just talking and sharing long, passionate, lingering kisses? Who laughs at my stories even when they're not funny, loves the little notes I leave by her bedside and smiles when I bring her roses, whether it's just one or two dozen. I'm just a really, really normal guy, looking for a really, really normal girl who will love me as much as I love her. Everyday I'm writing a new chapter in a book that is the story of my life, full of challenges and amazing experiences. I was born and raised in Southern California and with the exception of my travels and adventures, this has always been home. I'm passionate, affectionate and you will always know how I feel about you by the way I gaze into your eyes, kiss your soft lips and touch your trembling body while I softly whisper my words of love into your ear. I'm searching for someone who is ready to be loved, cared for and adored and whose heart is ready to accept that love. I have a great sense of humor and view life as our playground. The world can be a pretty funny place sometimes and I think we should laugh at it. I even have a five year plan...don't die! Can every guy on here really be an upscale, overly sensitive, works out all of the time, busy professional?? When do these guys have time for relationships when they're all working out at the gym, walking along some beach somewhere, or camping out all of the time??? Sure...I'm a busy business owner like everyone else. I work, try to exercise everyday, and dream about our future. And I have a five year plan...don't die! So share it with me. I don't have a long list of "must haves" and tend to gravitate away from those that do. I think when you have one of THOSE lists, you've narrowed your search so drastically that you should probably expect to have a nice long career in internet dating. Besides...are you looking for a man or a lap dog? My only two real deal breakers are smoking and obesity. Other than that, I'm wide open to all possibilities. The essentials of life: A good pair of boots (yeah...it's deep here) Happiness Love Understanding Patience Tolerance Intelligence Passion Desire Respect Oreo's (This should probably be at the top of my list) A great sense of humor Memorizing the 32 rules from Zombieland...because the zombies are coming. They've already taken over Sacramento. Internet dating has been an interesting experience to say the least. Who could forget those weeks of emailing and chatting, followed by endless nights of flirty, romantic talk on the phone? Then finally, the big day arrives...the first date. You wait eagerly at the restaurant of their choosing (Sizzler?), butterflies fluttering away in your stomach, anticipation torturing your soul, radar in a high state of alert. And then finally the big moment, your date arrives, their jaw's smacking away on gum, wearing their fathers clothes, passing more gas than the Alaska pipeline, chewing with their mouth wide open like Betsy the cow, hasn't seen a dentist in fifteen years kind of guy. "Hey babe," he says, "You're really hot! Let's go get some eats." As he sits across the table from you, he comments about how hot it is in there and starts to unbutton his shirt. First, the top button...then slowly, but deliberately, he starts to unbutton the second button and then you realize...his boobs are bigger than mine... Check please! Well...that's all folks, hope you enjoyed the show and don't forget to tip your waitress.

The twelve-kilometer long track from Tanvald to Harrachov was built at the turn of the 19th and 20th centuries. It includes a total of five tunnels and several bridges; the most beautiful of them is the 26 meter high bridge over the river Jizera. On the steepest section of the track trains used to have to climb a few hundred meters with the help of the Abtovy cog. In the summer months, regular nostalgic journeys are made with these historic trains, as well as other events for the public, and at the station in Kořenov you can visit a small museum with a period office dispatcher.

Reflections on One Year as President
It's amazing how quickly a year goes by! I've been President of Sioux Falls Seminary for one year. I'm continually inspired by the people working at the seminary, the students we serve, and the stories I hear from alums, givers, churches, and others who have walked alongside us in our history.

What happens when you attend school via telepresence robot? This heartwarming Japanese science fiction film is now close to becoming science fact. In spite of winning a swathe of awards in Japan, Hinokio has never been screened in the US and will be premiering at the 4th Annual Robot Film Festival on July 19 at Bot&Dolly in San Francisco. As telepresence robots become affordable and increasingly used in educational settings, Hinokio demonstrates some of the challenges. And benefits of course. Perhaps soon we'll all be worried about how attractive our robot body is to others.
Update: New video of final robot! My colleagues at the Institute for Dynamic Systems and Control at ETH Zurich have created a small robotic cube that can autonomously jump up and balance on any one of its corners .
Robotic bartender assembles personalized drinks, monitors alcohol consumption, and takes social mixing to a whole new level
You're at a busy bar. You order your personalized cocktail through a smart phone app; a drink dispenser measures out the beverage according to your instructions and a Kuka robotic arm give it a shake (or stir), while another garnishes it with a slice of lemon; the made-to-order concoction is delivered to your waiting hand via a slick little ten-lane conveyor belt.
How do you like to go up in a swing,
Up in the air so blue?
Oh, I do think it the pleasantest thing
Ever a child can do!
Child's Garden of Verses by Robert L. Stephenson
A squadron of 30 LED-studded Ascending Technologies quadcopters hovered above Potters Fields Park near London's Tower Bridge and, in conjunction with Earth Hour, formed a three-dimensional Star Trek logo in the night sky – a treat slash advertisement from Paramount, the producer of the new movie "Star Trek – Into Darkness" which will be released in May.
Today's TED talk features a troop of NAO robots performing an upbeat choreography.
Surrounded by his quadrocopter drones on stage, Raffaello D'Andrea explains feedback control and talks about the coming Machine Revolution
During the 20 minute presentation, Raffaello D'Andrea revealed some of the key concepts behind his group's impressive demonstrations of quadrocopters juggling, throwing and catching balls, dancing, and building structures – and illustrated them with live examples with quadrocopters flying on stage.
Professor Yoichiro Kawaguchi of the University of Tokyo Interfaculty Initiative in Information Studies is building a robot of a swimming jellyfish based on the theme of "space jellyfish." To artistically express the ambience of a wriggling jellyfish, he selected the theme of a jellyfish swimming in space.
"I don't believe there have been many soft-bodied creatures of this type that have been made into a robot. It requires creating numerous delicate movements. We put together simple configurations and focused on creating the elegant movements of the jellyfish. While skillfully integrating repeated wavering motions, for the future I would like to make it so that it can elicit various emotions. For this exhibit I would be satisfied to have people see both the design and movements."
Our colleagues at the Laboratory of Intelligent Systems at EPFL just sent us a fun video of Santa riding a fixed-wing robot and loosing a present. Luckily, the present can autonomously find its way to its destination.
More videos for the holiday season featuring robots have started to appear.
This time, General Motors and Kiva Systems feature high-tech robots pretending to be "Santa's little helpers".
My colleagues at the Autonomous

Transience is an artwork by the Wakita Lab at Keio University. It is intended to represent a harmony between calligraphy and computers, by dynamically altering the color of calligraphy on paper.
"At first sight, it's hard to understand, but if you watch for about two minutes, I think you'll see how the color gradually changes. We suspected that this kind of transient effect could be achieved by combining calligraphy with the computer."

Hitching a lift: flying in the UK's EH101 Merlins
I fulfilled a long-held ambition a few weeks ago, when I got the chance to tick another UK military aircraft type – AgustaWestland's EH101 – off in my flight log. Surprisingly though, it turns out that Merlins (as EH101s are known in the Royal Air Force and Royal Navy rotorhead communities) are a bit like London […]
EADS's Barracuda UCAV swims with the fishes
Sea food is well and truly off the menu at EADS this week, following the embarrassing loss of its Barracuda unmanned combat air vehicle (UCAV) demonstrator to an accident. The 3t air vehicle – named after a long, slender fish – returned to the sea in a so-far unexplained ditching near the end of a […]

I received an invitation […]
Photos: onboard the Royal Air Force's new BAE Systems Nimrod MRA4
Yesterday's Farnborough air show saw a long-awaited and welcome boost for the UK Royal Air Force, with the confirmation of a production order for 12 of BAE Systems' new generation Nimrod MRA4 maritime reconnaisance and attack aircraft. Announced by UK secretary of state for defence Des Browne and BAE chief executive Mike Turner, the milestone ceremony […]
Another a couple of decades of WIWOL (but not quite the same)
So the USA is going to call the Lockheed Martin F-35A the Lightning II. Great choice – but they'll never be true WIWOLers. By now you either know exactly what I'm talking about, or you haven't a clue. Existing WIWOLers can stop reading now. It works like this – at any bar in any RAF […]

How BAE must loathe regional airliners
BAE Systems stock shot up yesterday, even by its own dizzying recent standards, and put on another 5% in the opening hours of trading today following confirmation of the UK-Saudi government-to-government deal that includes the purchase of 24 Eurofighter Typhoons. On this occasion the market's reaction is fully justified – the deal is of huge […]
The US Air Force's newest fighter stands poised to enter operational service this week, but with a new name. The Lockheed Martin F/A-22 is renamed the F-22A. The USAF's official explanation says the 'F/A' designation was invented three years ago as a marketing tool aimed at selling the Raptor as a multi-role fighter to a sceptical […]

Wichita State tops No. 12 Creighton, 67-64
That's when Creighton's run finally happened.
McDermott's basket and an open 3-pointer by Gibbs from the wing helped to trigger a 10-2 charge, and a jumper by Austin Chatman gave the Bluejays their first lead at 52-51 with 11:28 left.
Buoyed by a capacity crowd of 10,506, the Shockers refused to give in, and a flagrant foul on Gibbs sent Tekele Cotton to the foul line and helped Wichita State pull back ahead.
The Bluejays got within 64-63 when they took advantage of a 5-on-4 situation with Early, who had landed hard and hit his head, still rolling around under the other basket. McDermott scored with a baseline jumper with 2:17 left in the game.
It was the last basket he would make in the game.

Wireless transmitter for D7000 to send pictures?
Started Mar 5, 2014 | Questions thread
Lightroom lets you tether to a computer and preview each shot as it's taken. Works fairly well, as long as you aren't shooting rapidly, as it can slow down your frame rate much like a full buffer when shooting bursts. Not wireless, but at least allows preview of shots and easy organization into files. When you change subjects, themes, etc., you just make a new folder and the pics go there. Not sure about the remote viewing by others...maybe a remote monitor set up where they can see what you see on your laptop. Again, not wireless, but an option maybe?

Do you do what you say or do you do what you say others do?
We design a donations vs. own money choice experiment comparing three different treatments. In two of the treatments the pay-offs are hypothetical. In the first of these, a short cheap talk script was used, and subjects were required to state their own preferences in this scenario. In the second, subjects were asked to state how they believed an average student would respond to the choices. In the third treatment the pay-offs were real, allowing us to use the results to compare the validity of the two hypothetical treatments. We find a strong hypothetical bias in both hypothetical treatments where the marginal willingness to pay for donations are higher when subjects state their own preferences but lower when subjects state what they believe are other students preferences. The explanation is probably a self-image effect in both cases. We find that it is mainly women who are prone to hypothetical bias in this study.

"Message boards are useful sources of social support, yet mothers need to be careful and realize the advice shared on the boards mostly represents the opinions of lay people," Ispa said.
Nurses and other health care providers could monitor parenting message boards to better acquaint themselves with mothers' concerns and the conflicting information they are likely to hear, Ispa said. Clinicians should be familiar with mothers' common concerns so, at doctor's visits, they can bring up the concerns moms might be shy to mention in person, Ispa said.
"Message boards are becoming popular because Americans are mobile and they're online," Ispa said. "Women aren't next door to their mothers anymore to ask parenting questions, so they turn to their peers over the Internet."
The study, "Mothers' online message board questions about parenting infants and toddlers," soon will be published in the Journal of Advanced Nursing. The study is part of a lager project completed for Porter's doctoral dissertation, for which Ispa served as adviser. The Department of Human Development and Family Studies is housed in the MU College of Human Environmental Sciences.

Posted: 6 years 40 weeks agoHere are a few important terms we can keep remembering as we think about our chanting: One is that we don't want to have "courtesy japa" which means only officially chanting like some external religious ritual, and not endeavoring to improve beyond going through the motions. This idea is explained by a statement by Shrila Bhaktisiddhanta Sarasvatis Thakur that chanting must not be lip deep, but heart deep.

First, we'd like to thank our supporters of the two previous threads as we've had EDIT: OVER 74,000 views as of Dec 30th, 2013. We really enjoy sharing our experiences and our regulars who jump in to share theirs too.
Thread 1 covers my experiences from my very first render, and is chocked full of learning experiences for newbies but also has product reviews and tutorials for everyone. Then before thread 2 ended, SereneNight graciously accepted the invitation to co-host as she's very good at articulating her experiences with the products and her renders are just wonderful. I strongly recommend you surf both of those threads (humorously called our "monster threads" due to 1500 posts each.)
Thread 3, we decided to ask some very talented, helpful folks to help us.
