2011 Newbery and Caldecott Award Winners
Growing up, I remember looking–with reverance–at books branded with silver and gold Newbery and Caldecott medals. I knew those books were extra special, awarded by the American Library Association as being the best of the best in written (Newbery) and illustrated (Caldecott) children's books.
This week, the ALA press release announced their winners of this year's Newbury and Caldecott medals:
John Newbery Medal (outstanding contribution to children's literature): "Moon over Manifest," written by Clare Vanderpool, is the 2011 Newbery Medal winner. The book is published by Delacorte Press, an imprint of Random House Children's Books, a division of Random House, Inc. (Click here for more book award winners.)

I'm back!
Hi everyone, sorry for the delay, but finding connectivity has been a challenge the last few days. I'm here in Hailey ID and will spend tomorrow here then head Eastword on Saturday. I'm well and comfortable and finally getting around to checking in with you all.
Great to see some familiar faces here. Hi Lou, Hi Steve, and hey Russ, welcome to the Asylum. Glad to have you all along. Steve, hopefully you can chronicle the Montana trip for us.
I will be continuing my story but let me first say that my biggest challenge by far on this trip so far has been this ride report.
Posting and dealing with photos on the iPad has been problematic and frustrating, and I'm really disappointed to discover that somehow I have lost a bunch of pics I emptied the memory card after uploading everything in Kooskia (pronounced "Koos-Key" by the way) but the pics I'm missing are from after that. Sigh.
But life, and the ride, goes on. And I still have some good pics. Here's a teaser:

It was about 1pm when I left Kooskia, having wet my vest and chilly pad for relief against the 80+ temps, and headed South, I think on 13, through Harpster, and Grangeville, then onto 95 and Old 95 from the top of White Bird Hill (elev 4,450') to White Bird. Old 95 was a section of probably 20 tight switchbacks that descended into the valley, I had it to myself, and it was spectacular. Unfortunately those are among the pics that disappeared, but here are some from that segment:
Next stop was the Riggins Ranger Station, where I had the pleasure of dealing with a nice young man named Cade, (sorry for the crap pic, but obviously I'm not much of a photographer)
who was quite helpful. He directed me up Salmon Creek Rd (I think that's the name) towards Burgdorf, which he said was open for sure. He knew also that I could loop down to McCall for sure, but was not sure if I could cut over from Burgdorm through Warren, Yellow Pine, and down to Hiway 24 which I could take into Stanley.
The road out of Riggins started out nicely paved and followed the river for a while,
winding along leisurely until it turned into graded gravel.
I stopped and talked to a guy on the road and he told me pretty much the same thing Ranger Cade had, so I continued on. Eventually as he said, it then crossed a creek
and after some more serene views on fast gravel
headed up,
through more beautiful country. There were many flowers in bloom, lots of flying buzzing things in the air, and the smells of mountain flowers wafted over me in waves. High alpine meadows have a smell you just can't get anywhere else!
The flowers made me think of a hard core adventurer I had the pleasure of hosting once, so I took a couple flower shots in honor of Nomadgal.
Hi Esther!
The road began getting steeper, rockier and more rutted as I went.
Again more switchbacks and awesome views.
And around the corner was this, so I took a timer shot of me next to an old weird abandoned bus
Passed this evidently historical cabin
but didn't see anything to explain its significance. It's a little run down, but I think it has potential.
After passing a few nice camping spots, and more spectacular scenery,
it was getting late I came across a big wide spot that was parking for a trailhead. One side was covered with about 8" of this
which offered an oh shit moment, but I plowed through it and down this
which lead to this
so I set up for the night.
I didn't make it to Burgdorf, and hoped I am not too far (There was a sign at the turn that said 21 miles to Burgdorf, but I forgot to check my milage and I find it's hard to gauge how far you've gone on these roads.
The road numbers (if if it doesn't just say "unpaved road" on the GPS don't seem to match the paper map, and it's really hard to see where a road goes on the GPS. You have to zoom in close enough to see the road number/name, then scroll and scroll trying to follow the road. Sometimes I can just tell it to find the next nearest city (and avoid hiways) but today it couldn't find Burgdorf, Yellow Pine, or Warren, so that didn't help me.

Day 4 Weds July 2
All of the pics from yesterday are nowhere to be found, so you'll just have to use your imagination. I feel like I got robbed!
Got on the road at 7:58 after a quick cup of coffee. Turns out I was 8.5 miles from Burgdorf, which was closed down anyway. Not really much to see, just some cabins and a few old buildings. More 60MPH gravel.
Frrom there I followed the road down into McCall for gas, and a check with the friendly Ranger, Robert, who, after checking the latest update, told I could get over the gravel roads through Yellow Pine, and down into Stanley
So I took Lick Creek road out of McCall, and had a beautiful ride up to Yellow Pine, a town of 35 people in the winter, and many more in the summer. I was surprised to see an Espresso sign on a little trailer at one end of town, so I stopped and visited with June, the proprietor, for a while. She and her husband used to run the Warm Lake Lodge nearby, but retired to Yellow Pine, and now snowbird in Arizona in the winter. She sells coffee for something to do. She let me fill up my camelbak and water bladder with ice and freezing cold water! Thanks June! You rock!
From there I headed South, down 413, a nice twisty gravel road with awesome views. I took a little side trip up up this really steep and rutted 2 track, with a sign that said there was a lake at 6 miles and another at 10, but turned back after about a mile when it turned from challenging to really freaking difficult. I should have shot a couple pics of that, it was gnarly. But I didn't want to crash, and it was pretty much a certainty if I tried to keep going on on that road, so I headed back to the mainline and continued South.
When I got to the pavement again, I saw a sign for Warm Lake, and being only 9 miles away, I headed for it. At the top of a hill which turned out to be the summit of the climb from the lake basin, I ran into a group of about 8 bicyclists, and stopped to chat. They were from Portland, Seattle, and Montana, and had gotten together to ride a week long loop they'd found somewhere. They had just pedaled up from Warm Lake.
Holy Crap! I knew it was downhill to the lake, but it was a steep descent that switched back again and again, with really tight turns. Damn fun, but I couldn't imagine pedaling up that sucker! And in 80+ temps! They were all young and buff, but still, what a workout. Probably 3 or 4 miles of steep ascent with no relief until the top. Hard core for sure.
Warm Lake turned out to be a bit of a tourist trap, at least by my standards. I didn't check the temp of the lake.
At that point I was starting to think about finding a place to camp, and had already burned up a good bit of gas, so I searched and found the nearest gas to be in Cascade, about 25 miles away.
After thinking about it, I decided to play it safe and top off, even if it meant a bit of pavement to get there. But what a bit of pavement it was! Yet another well maintained twisty windy road through awesome scenery. I was really feeling good, and riding well too, at least it seemed that way. Carving through one corner after another for miles, with a big smile on my face. After a while it straightened out though, and the last few miles into town were pretty, but boring.
I went straight to the gas staiion and while there I talked to a guy on a BMW, I think it was a K bike of some sort? Sorry I'm not up on my BMWs. He said he also had a Honda 650L dual sport. Matt, if your with us, it was nice meeting you and chatting at the gas pump.
So back the way I'd come, past Warm Lake, up that awesome set of switchbacks, and back onto the gravel road 413 where I settled on Buck Mtn Camp. It's a tiny campground with 3 sites, kind of a crappy little place, but has a nice stream running next to it, has a pit toilet, and picnic tables. Good enough! My site was not next to the water, but close enough to hear the stream.
I jumped into my swim trunks and went and laid down in the stream. brrr! but it felt great! I also washed some clothes in a ziplock bag, and later even took a shower with my solar shower. It didn't have a chance to warm up completely but was not too cold at all.
Cooked up some dinner and typed up my notes from the day, and started a small fire in the fire ring hoping to drive some of these mosquitoes away. They are pretty thick :(
Total miles: 262
Bike nap count: Still holding at 2
Day 5 coming up, then if I don't screw up and lose all my pics, I'll share the Hailey Idaho Independence day celebration with you.

Day 5 Thurs July 3
Getting caught up finally! Good thing cause it's getting late!
Day 5 Thurs July 3
Man it got cold last night. Not freezing cold, but cold enough that I woke up shivering and had to put on my shirt and camp pants. I slept in a bit but was on the road by about 8:45am.
It was a beautiful morning and I felt great as I stood on the pegs and let the beauty flow by. The bike is running sweet, and even loaded down I can throttle steer through the gentle sweepers, especially as the rear tire wears down. I love the feeling of the bike skittering around under me as I drift over the marble covered road, just pointing the bike where I want it to go and gassing it. Sometimes you just find your groove, and I was feeling it this morning. Spectacular!
My senses were barraged by the sights, scents, and occasional oh shit moments, due to the numerous deer that like to leap out in front of you, and by the 4 wheeled road hogs who seem to think that nobody else uses this particular road except them. I learned a long time ago to always hug the right side of the road because too many others don't.
I often take left handed photos on the go, but have the camera on a lanyard so if I drop it I won't lose it.
It was a zen-like ride down the fast gravel enjoying the views
but watching out for these:
most of which were to rude to allow me time to get my camera out before bounding off manically into the woods, or across the road again. I must have seen a dozen deer in a few mile stretch.
Also other things to watch out for
More really beautiful scenery
A selfie in motion
You can't see it in the pic but I'm grinning
Lots of this forest had burned not so long ago making for striking views
Eventually I reached the pavement that led to Stanley.
More nice views, but a long straight road
I've been to Stanley a couple times before, on a Sasquatch Dual Sport Tour, and with Michele on the Goldwing, and I had assumed I would have cell service, but no such luck. I stopped at the visitor center where the nice lady let me use here cell to call Diane, who I was to meet here. It was about 10:30 by this time and I worried she would be on the road and not answer, but Luckily she did, and told me to hang out at the Bridge Street grill, where her brother is a chef. So I did.
I ordered smoked trout eggs Benedict, because I have low will power, and because I didn't want to hang out here for a couple hours and only order coffee. The trout was fresh caught and smoked this morning. Yes, it was quite tasty.
While waiting I talked to these nice people, Craig and Terry
who were out for a ride to Boise, I think? Anyway, had a nice chat with them.
Then my host Diane rode up on her Fat Boy (I learned that's what it's called today) and Craig snatched my camera out of my hand and took this
Diane grabbed a mushroom burger and I had the first beer I'd had since Saturday (Hey, I'd had breakfast!) and then we headed out to ride the 70 some miles South to Hailey.
The parking lot was filling up. Quiz: Which motorcycle is different?
A couple left handed shots on the way to Hailey
And now I'm in my about done for the night. I've had a shower, dinner, I'm caught up on my Ride Report (although I'm still pissed about all the missing pics, I'm going to have to be more careful and develop a better protocol to prevent this), caught up on laundry, and have a real bed to sleep in.
Happy happy.
More to come, so don't touch that dial!

A couple more photos
I just figured out how to get my phone pics up to Smugmug (I thought I'd had it set to do that automatically) so here is the view from the deck of the Bridge Street Grill in Stanley
Tough to have to look at that all day!
And the obligatory food pic of my delicious smoked trout eggs benedict

It must suck like a black hole to work on a fan project for eight long years only to have it taken down in about eight short days.
Developer Bomber Games spent the better part of the last decade remaking Sega's classic beat 'em up, Streets of Rage. The redo, released last week, featured tons of stages, all of the playable characters from Streets of Rage 1, 2, and 3, new modes and even a level editor.
Unfortunately, the game was taken down over the weekend. Said Streets of Rage Remake Community forum moderator charco:

The 16th edition of the Interuniversity 'Charrette' in architecture, urban planning, design and landscape architecture has just ended on Wednesday evening with the naming of the award winners by the jury.
The competition, held under the auspices of the Canadian Centre for Architecture (CCA) and Montreal-based universities (Université de Montréal, UQÀM and McGill University), inpartnership with other Canadian universities, challenged students and interns by inviting them to reflect on issues and problematics in contemporary architecture, on the theme of "Making another city/stitching/connecting/sharing."
A tie resulted in the awarding of two first prizes, to a team of students from Carleton University composed of Benoît Lagacé, Adam Johnston, Jessica MacDonald, Cipriano Nolan, and Josh Armstrong, and to a team of two young UQAM graduate interns, Anik Poirier and Albane Guy. There were also two honourable mentions, for participants from McGill University and Université de Montréal
The Diversity Recognition Program seeks to recognize architects for exemplary commitment and contributions to diversifying the profession of architecture. A diversified profession mirrors the society it serves; celebrates and encourages the contributions of all architects, regardless of race, ethnicity, national origin, gender, age, sexual orientation, physical ability, religious belief, geographic location, or practice; encourages alternatives to traditional practice models; and provides opportunities for a greater variety of individuals to become architects, take advantage of leadership opportunities, and influence our practices and our professional lives.

Red symbolizes: action, confidence, courage, vitality
Red Energy
Red is associated with fiery heat and warmth. It can also mean danger (burning). Red is the color of blood, and as such has strong symbolism as life and vitality. It brings focus to the essence of life and living with emphasis on survival. Red is also the color of passion and lust.

If a woman wears a red dress it usually is associated with sex appeal.
Chakra associated with Red:
Red is the color associated with the Root Chakra at the base of the spine (animal or base nature). This chakra deals with life at the level of practicality. It is responsible for maintaining the body's heat and has a relationship with the circulatory system.
Pink symbolizes: love, beauty
Pink is a combination of red and white. The quality of energy in pink is determined by how much red is present. White is the potential for fullness, while red helps you to achieve that potential. Pink combines these energies. Shades of deep pink, such as magenta, are effective in neutralizing disorder and violence. Some prisons use limited deep pink tones to diffuse aggressive behavior.
Pink provides feelings of caring, tenderness, self-worth and love, acceptance.

Wear pink when you want to present yourself as a peaceful, calm person who is not threatening. The softer shades are very feminine and darker shades will alleviate feelings of friction.
Brown symbolizes: earth, order, convention
Put some brown in your life when you want:
Brown Energy
Brown can mix into many surroundings. It is a mixture of red, blue and yellow and has many shades and tones - each producing a different effect. Brown can be a stabilizing color. The red in brown gives it practical energy while the yellow and blue add mental focus energies. Too much brown can make a dull effect. Brown gives a feeling of solidity, and allows one to stay in the background, unnoticed.

Brown gem stone properties
Brown gemstones act as a grounding force and promote stability and clear thinking.
Brown gemstones:
Wearing Brown

Orange symbolizes: vitality with endurance
Orange Energy
While red is associated with fiery heat, orange is associated with the benign warmth of the sun. A dynamic color to be sure, orange offers a more thoughtful control than explosive red. Curiosity is a driving characteristic of orange, and with it comes exploration of new things.
Put some orange in your life when you want:
Orange gem stone
Orange gemstones contain some of the fiery energies of red, but are gentler with a more creative spirit. They are used to promote personal power and are useful for people who could use more self esteem. Carry or place orange gemstones around your home or office to stimulate creativity, mental quickness, ability to adjust to changes.
Orange gemstones:
Wearing Orange
Wearing orange during times of stress, or shock can help to balance your emotions. It can bring about the willingness to embrace new ideas with enjoyment and a sense of exploration and creative play.
Chakra associated with Orange:
Orange is the color associated with the Sacral Hara Chakra (sexuality and reproduction).
Gold symbolizes: Wealth, prosperity, wisdom

One fine day in 1832, while voyaging on the Beagle, Charles Darwin spotted a small spider that had "crawled on some little eminence". Transfixed, he saw it "elevate its abdomen, send forth a thread, and then sail away". The spider was doing what today's biologists call "ballooning" — using silk sails to travel vast distances. The question was, though, what happened when it landed? We now know that spiders can go miles into the air this way, and even cover transcontinental distances. But with no control over where they come down, are most lost at sea? Is this for most spiders, as many have as
Scientists know enough about how evolution on Earth has developed to conclude that aliens would probably look fairly similar to humans, according to a leading biologist. Simon Conway Morris, from the University of Cambridge, came to his conclusion by considering what can be understood about hypothetical aliens from biology. "If you subscribe to the idea that there is an abundance of Earth-like planets, even if only one in 100 has animals, something analogous to us is high on the stakes," he said. He said that we should look at what happened on different continents arou
All over the world last night, but particularly in the town of Roswell, New Mexico, earthlings gathered to celebrate World UFO Day with stargazing and perhaps a few drinks. Yet even as they raised glasses and eyes towards the heavens, to mark the day 67 years ago when something crashed in a field outside Roswell, veteran UFO investigators were battling a scurrilous new allegation. It was being suggested that most of those who witnessed strange craft in the sky might have been drunk at the time. The National UFO Reporting Centre (NUFORC), a non-profit organisation that ha
In 1950 Alan Turing, the pioneer of computing, made one of the most famous predictions in modern science. By the year 2000, he forecast, a machine would need only five minutes to fool one in three "average interrogators" into mistaking it for a human being. In the end it took 14 years longer than Turing expected, but last year "Eugene" — a Russian computer program purporting to be a 13-year-old boy from Odessa in Ukraine — was claimed to have passed the test.

Poll Mania
[Sorry, the video for this story has expired, but you can still read the transcript below. ]
TERENCE SMITH: Been polled lately?
MAN ON PHONE: May I please speak to an adult in the household?
TERENCE SMITH: You may be soon. Americans are being surveyed these days on anything and everything.
CORRESPONDENT: A chunky beef taco means a vote for Schwarzenegger.
TERENCE SMITH: And with the onset of a presidential election year…
SPOKESMAN: The next president, Dick Gephardt.
TERENCE SMITH: There are going to be still more queries.
WOMAN: Do you approve or disapprove of the way George W. Bush is handling his job as president?
TERENCE SMITH: But is excessive media polling of public opinion crowding out coverage of substantive issues? And is the sheer number of polls confusing readers and viewers? Along with scientific polling, media organizations are bombarding their audience with decidedly unscientific online surveys and questionable "questions of the day."
LORI ROBERTSON: It tends to hurt the credibility of legitimate polls. It creates all this noise out there.
TERENCE SMITH: Lori Robertson is managing editor of American Journalism Review. She says the ubiquitous use of surveys may be confusing the public as to what is a true sampling of public opinion and what is a mere tabulation of those who have phoned in or logged on.
LORI ROBERTSON: A lot of news organizations have taken care to call it "question of the day" or "online survey" and not really use the world, poll. And that I think this is part of their way to distinguish this from scientific polls. But I don't know if many members of the public make that distinction. It looks like a poll.
TERENCE SMITH: Scientific or not, some poll questions range from the provocative to the pointless. Take these, posed by news organizations: If you had the opportunity, would you personally kill Osama bin Laden? Do you think there is any possibility that Elvis Presley is still alive? What would be the most fruitful way to search for extra- terrestrial life?
Measuring public opinion has become much easier than it was in the early days when most polling was done in person, door-to-door. Today, drawing a random sample with a telephone survey is more reliable, and less expensive. The result…
CALLER: I'm calling for CBS News…
TERENCE SMITH: A dramatic increase in scientific polling.
SPOKESMAN: The ground rules for this, as agreed by you gentlemen…
TERENCE SMITH: Lori Robertson found 20 polls done in the two months before the 1980 presidential election, one hundred thirty during the same period in 2000. Unscientific phone-in and online polls have also become popular.
SUSAN PINKUS: It doesn't matter that 20,000 people call in, that doesn't mean that it's a reliable poll.
TERENCE SMITH: Susan Pinkus, director of the Los Angeles Times poll, says a large number of responses is not necessarily a random sample of public opinion.
SUSAN PINKUS: What I worry about is when some organizations will say, who are you gonna vote for or is this issue important to you and then call in and tell us how you feel. The problem with those kinds of things, is that groups tend to get their membership to call in and hog the phones.
TERENCE SMITH: She conducts workshops to help her newspaper's reporters and editors sort out good numbers from bad.
SUSAN PINKUS: You want to look at who sponsored the poll, how big the sample size is, what the margin of error is. You have to make sure the methodology is sound, try to get the complete questionnaire so you see the question wording, and also that you see the order of the questions, so that, one question doesn't taint another.
TERENCE SMITH: Some pollsters are concerned that the nuances of even scientifically accurate polls aren't reflected on the screen or in the headline. The Gallup organization has begun releasing information directly to the public, because it says, the media were not reporting its results with any depth. And, says Lori Robertson, the converse may also be true. The media may be reporting polls where there really is no story.
LORI ROBERTSON: If a news organization pays the money to do the poll, it most likely is going to turn into a story for that news organization. And sometimes it's going to turn into a story even if the results are very ambiguous or don't really show you anything, or even seem suspect or questionable.
TERENCE SMITH: There is evidence that polling is replacing some shoe leather reporting. A study of network coverage in the two months prior to the 2000 election found that 71 percent of the stories were devoted to horserace coverage, up significantly from the previous two elections.
CROWD: We want Dean!
TERENCE SMITH: With so many hopefuls on the Democratic side in the upcoming presidential primaries, early national surveys of voter preference may prove meaningless.
SINGING: This land is my land
TERENCE SMITH: CBS News director of surveys, Kathy Frankovic, says in a poll taken this summer, the public did not even know who the candidates were.
KATHY FRANKOVIC: Approximately two-thirds of the public said no, they couldn't think of, they couldn't name anyone.
TERENCE SMITH: Not a single one?
KATHY FRANKOVIC: Not a single one.
TERENCE SMITH: Therefore, she cautions, reporters should pay little heed to nationwide surveys of voter preference done this fall.
KATHY FRANKOVIC: People should pay closer attention to polls that are done in the states where we know voters are starting to be attentive: New Hampshire, Iowa, and the states that follow New Hampshire and Iowa. Because there you are looking at the success or failure of campaigns. Of real campaigns, on the ground, in a state where it matters.
SPOKESMAN John McCain and I today…
TERENCE SMITH: But what impact will statewide media surveys have in the fishbowl of primary campaigning? Do news organizations, in effect, become part of the story through their polling?
DAVID LIGHTMAN: That is a huge problem, and its gonna become even bigger as we get closer and closer to the primary season. Because lets face it, polls create momentum.
TERENCE SMITH: The Hartford Courant's David Lightman has been covering Connecticut favorite son, Joe Lieberman, on the campaign trail. He worries that media poll results may affect editorial decisions on candidate coverage down the line.
DAVID LIGHTMAN: As you get closer to the Iowa caucus on January 19, the polls on January 14, 15, 16, 17, are going to matter. People are gonna say, "oh my gosh, candidate X is in fifth place," and so reporters like me may say well, gee, we don't follow candidate X today, we'll follow the front runner and number two, that kind of thing. The very things that give our polls credibility also make us players, and we really don't want to be players, so it's a real problem.
TERENCE SMITH: Susan Pinkus of the LA Times acknowledges that news organizations poll results may affect campaigns themselves.
SUSAN PINKUS: A lot of times, media polling, if it shows that a candidate is not doing that well, it might, hurt them getting money for their campaign, but that's the name of the game.
GROUP CHANTING: Kerry, Kerry.
TERENCE SMITH: By conducting their own polls, media organizations can avoid relying on campaign pollsters, who may release only favorable information. And says Kathy Frankovic, polling beats the conjecture that was part of reporting in the past.
KATHY FRANKOVIC: Is it better to have a poll, a scientific poll– it's subject to error, we know that– is it better to have that telling you what people think, or is it better to go to three people on the street somewhere in some part of country and say, this is what the public thinks?
TERENCE SMITH: So brace yourselves, public…
WOMAN ON PHONE: How old are you?
TERENCE SMITH: Your phones may be ringing soon.

Gamma correction in windows 7 (don't trust the built in test!)
Just wanted to point out that the monitor calibration tool in windows 7 isn't terribly accurate when it comes to gamma calibration. The little dot test method it uses is too subjective (no matter where I put the slider, I always ended up with some kind of a dot in the middle - the software leaves it up to you to guess how big or small that dot should be.)
When you adjust the gamma slider, I would normalize (as opposed to maximize) the window size so that you can pull up your web browser side by side with it while you adjust the slider, and use this:
Like the page says, aim for 2.2. The information on there is slightly outdated too btw, as of OSX 10.6 macs now use 2.2 instead of 1.8. If you aren't sure if you nailed it correctly with that one, you can always check it with this one:
IMPORTANT: If you have an LCD screen, make sure your eyes are directly in front of where you are looking when you make the gamma adjustment, while at the same time far away from the screen (squinting helps too.)
Gamma correction is probably the most important yet overlooked aspect of getting accurate colors out of your monitor, and if you have it wrong then you probably have other things wrong too.
Re: Gamma correction in windows 7 (don't trust the built in test!)
I also agree. So many people don't even know how to calibrate their gamma, that it's unbelieveable.
I already had those sites bookmarked a long time ago. :) I also had these in my bookmarks...
Now a lot of people disagree with the gradient bar test method, but if you've used Photoshop, you can open up the ever-so-famous "fruit lady" picture and adjust the output with the info panel (F8) readout. When you mouse over the colors, you get accurate RGB and CMYK information. Prinitng is always CMYK. This method is rarely used anymore as monitors and LCDs have gotten much better over the years, but there's other .tiffs you can use to adjust accurate color as well. Here's the fruit lady page with more info from Adobe for reference. I've been using Photoshop since 2.1, and remember this fondly. But over the years, I've gotten so used to the gamma settings that's always second nature for me when I install new drivers.
With the way mentioned above, you get super-accurate photo color printing as well. Working with $500,000 AGFA machines in the print industry can get pretty costly if none of your monitors are calibrated correctly, lol. Not to mention how pricey a print run can get if some stupid intern or n00b didn't know any better.
"Hey Chuck, the print run was messed up. It's going to cost us another 20K to re-run the print, and it's coming out of your pay."
/me watches gleefully as they start crying. :D
Re: Gamma correction in windows 7 (don't trust the built in test!)
I had exactly that problem
thanks shilk
Re: Gamma correction in windows 7 (don't trust the built in test!)
Is it also possible to adjust brightness?
Re: Gamma correction in windows 7 (don't trust the built in test!)
I've never been able to find any good methods for nailing this precisely. Every time I think I've nailed it I see something that looks too red, too green, or too blue, but never "white."
Re: Gamma correction in windows 7 (don't trust the built in test!)
Is it only for printing? What kind of monitor is it? CRT, LCD?
For me, I crank the Brightness on the monitor all the way up and then use the gamma setting to set it. Then if it's too bright, slowly pull the Brightness setting back. My LCD is crappy, so it's always sitting at maximum brightness. I usually don't mess with the colors since I'm using DVI. Try using sRGB or User Defined settings. The latter will allow you to change the individual RGB settings as you see fit.
I guess it would all depend on the monitor as well. The different Color Adjustments for the monitor play an important role here. Also, if you're not using the DVI connector, you'll want to use that instead it's a definite must. Although my LCD is uber crappy (hey, it was free so I'm not complaining), I've still managed to pull off great calibration with it without making everything else washed out.
Usually, there's sRGB, 9300K, 6500K, 5400K, and User Adjusted settings for the monitor. Most of the time, sRGB is used. While the other settings listed above depend on the ambient lighting in the room, most printing presses use 9300 and 6500K. You can see the difference between 9300 (as it makes your monitor more blue) and 6500 (as it makes it a little more brown). They key is to find the balance where picking one of the settings and calibrating the other colors to balance them out.
If the monitor can't output the exact colors for printing, a test print is usually done and then used as a reference alongside the screen to adjust the different brightness settings without touching the gamma. The gamma is always set it's the other color adjustments you need to make such as Brightness, Contrast, and Color. Never change the gamma after you set it. Always change it via monitor when tweaking the rest.
Another thing that bugs me is that a ton of game companies never use proper gamma, and it's a royal pain in the ass to have to keep adjusting it while in the game. The only recent game I've played that used proper gamma was World of Warcraft. They have a "Use Dektop Gamma" setting in their gamma control. Just check it, and it makes the game look so much better when using it. All other games have seperate gamma and brightness controls and it's a pain in the ass. Actually, now that I think about it, Left 4 Dead has a similar gamma setting too. It's not like WoW's but it actually had a proper gamma slider. :)
Re: Gamma correction in windows 7 (don't trust the built in test!)
Hard to explain what I am trying to do. Think in terms of how when you change the color temperature, you end up with a more orange looking white on warm, and a more blue looking white on cool. The neutral color looks a bit more green to me on the other hand. I want it to look white rather than green if you get what I am saying, and it is hard to establish a neutral color even if I adjust the RGB offsets in the service menu.
Re: Gamma correction in windows 7 (don't trust the built in test!)
What LCD is it, if you don't mind me asking? My LCD has a crappy contrast ratio, so my blacks usually come out grey or even have the weird bleeding effect. I posted this issue in The Witcher topic a long time ago with screenshots about what I mean. If it's a fairly new LCD, the issue isn't as prominent as it used to be, but it can still happen.
I get what you're trying to say. There's a ton of similar issues with monitors both LCD and CRT. You can have the same exact model side-by-side, and the color output will be different in most cases.
Re: Gamma correction in windows 7 (don't trust the built in test!)
This "monitor" is actually marketed more as a TV, but IMO it's much more of a monitor (for starters, it doesn't have a tuner of any kind) and it's a good one at that.
Re: Gamma correction in windows 7 (don't trust the built in test!)
some of those links only provides single gamma test graph which is not accurate.
most LCD panels don't have uniform per-channel gamma.
it's better to adjust RGB channels separately.

So you know Jana is engaged to Brantley Gilbert - last night at our St. Jude benefit she had another proposal! And even said YES! Before the show she said that a guy tweeted her that he was coming to the show and wanted to propose. She said if he proposed to her on stage she would make a donation to St. Jude. He proposed and she made a 500 DOLLAR DONATION to St. Jude! And the funny thing is when Jana asked the audience who wanted to propose to her, he didn't say a word. His wife is the one who spoke up!

Chinese Gender Predictor?
Lisa(25) + Jon(25) =Love Alivia Layne(8.12.10) & Willow Katherine(5.24.13)
I also just heard about the baking soda gender test and I am going to try that tonight just for fun. I think you put a teaspoon of baking soda in a cup and add your urine, if it fizzes it might be a boy and if not maybe girl.
I think!
The Chinese calender was wrong for 3 of my 5.
These are the steps I used.
1.Go to the store and buy a red cabbage. The size of the cabbage does not matter at all.
2.Cut the cabbage into big chunks. The smaller you cut the chunks, the better your results will turn out.
3. Boil some water on the stove and put in the chunks of cabbage.
4. Let the water and cabbage boil for about 10 minutes or so. When the ten minutes is up, remove it from the heat.
5. Grab a cup and go to the bathroom! Pee into the cup.
6. In a separate cup, mix 1 part of your urine to 1 part of the water that the cabbage was boiled in. No need to save the cabbage unless you want to eat it. It's pretty tasty, so you might want to eat it!
7. If the urine/cabbage water turns pink or red then this indicates a boy result! If the urine/cabbage water turns purple, this indicates a girl result.

|Ladies and gentlemen ... Mr. and Mrs. Enrique Iglesias! Or not.
|Page 2 on Anna K
Anna to Enrique,
I, Anna, take you, Enrique, to be my lawfully wedded husband. To have my picture taken with when we are in public and to hold my bag when I am on a commercial shoot. Oh, that reminds me, for all your Internet searching needs, go to lycos.com. Anyway, I take you for better, because let's face it: Now that Sergei is with Tara Reid, he's damaged goods -- or for worse, hey, at least you aren't Ricky Martin. For richer, man, I'm glad we don't have a prenup. For poorer, wait again, sorry. If you're looking for a diversified portfolio and solid investment advice, put your future in the hands of Charles Schwab. OK, where was I? Right, in sickness and in health, to love and to cherish how great my hair looks, as well as my butt in these jeans; from this day forward until death do us part ... or until the NHL lockout ends.
Enrique to Anna,
Anna, on our wedding day, here's how it goes. First, all it takes is some trying. And if you feel like leaving, I'm not gonna make you stay. But believe me, and ask my dad Julio if you don't .. soon you'll be finding you can run, you can hide, but you can't escape my love. Still, I make this promise to you. I can be your hero, baby. I can kiss away the pain. I will stand by you forever. You can take my breath away. And now we dance! Bailamos! Let the rhythm take you over! Bailamos! Te quiero amor mio! ... [Repeat Chorus].

WALTHAM, Mass. — The Boston Celtics' first round playoff series has now shifted to Boston, and the C's are hoping a change of scenery will change the series' momentum.
Boston returns to the TD Garden for Games 3 and 4 against New York trailing 2-0, desperately needing both games in order to even up this best-of-seven series.
But first things first.
The C's have to find a way to win Game 3, a challenge that should be aided now that the Celtics will be surrounded by an arena full of their own fans.
Home has definitely been a good thing for the Celtics this season where they compiled a 27-13 record. The only teams in the East to play better than the C's at home this season were Miami (37 wins), New York (31) and Indiana (30).
Despite that success at home, they did not beat the Knicks at the TD Garden this year with New York winning the head-to-head battle 3-1. The C's lone victory over New York this season came on Jan. 7 at Madison Square Garden.
"There's no better crowd for sports, than this city," said Celtics head coach Doc Rivers. "They're actually really invested, and that's the difference. There's a lot crowds ... 'they're winning now, they come. And then you see all the hats and all the mouths you hear when you walk in the city. But in Boston, whether you're winning or losing, we still hear the people talking. That's just the way they are, the way they are built and we expect it to be very much that tomorrow."
The Boston Marathon tragedy that injured many and killed four, led to an emotional outpouring for Boston's other professional sports teams upon their first home game following the incident.
Friday's Game 3 matchup will be the first time the C's will play in a home game since the April 15 incident.
And because of the explosions, Boston's regular season finale at home against Indiana on April 16 was canceled with no date to reschedule.
Boston played at Toronto on April 17, so the C's have been on the road for about a week.
While it has been difficult for anyone in this part of the country to not think about the Boston Marathon incident, Rivers has made a point to not use the events of that day as added motivation for his players.
"I don't do that," Rivers said. "I don't use tragedy for sports. I just don't think it's right. We want to win for the city. It would be terrific. But that is not anything I'm going to use in a press conference or with our players. We should want to win because we want to win."
Especially against the Knicks in the playoffs.
There's no sugar coating the fact that Friday's Game 3 matchup will likely determine if the Celtics' first round series is over or not.
No team in NBA history has rallied to win a best-of-seven series after losing the first three games.
"We have to go out and play like a desperate team with a huge sense of urgency," said Paul Pierce who added, "because Game 3 right now, our season is definitely on the line."

"I really loved the design of this card; it was simple, yet elegant and I liked being able to personalize with my wedding color - blush. I chose blush on the back as well; the designer even added my wedding website to the back! I chose the basic, standard paper and it is a nice matte finish that does not feel cheap at all. Quality of the photo could have been a little better, but I love the look of the card so much that it doesn't even seem to matter! Also, I recommend the rounded edges - just a little more classically elegant than the cut shown in the display photo."
"LOVE this postcard style Save the Date! Had TONS of compliments from our friends & family - mostly that it was a design unlike any they had received before - a main goal of ours was to have something not everyone had seen before. Also love that there is room for your wedding website. We also gave details about what they could find on the website/why to go look at it!"
"I was so excited to get these in the mail! Great card thickness and quality. The only thing that could be a bit better is the color. To me it looks slightly dull."
"I was very pleased with the way the card turned out. The matte finish is exactly what I wanted since our photo was on it because it looked natural. The design is fun and elegant and is true to the way it appears online. I wish the words "save the date" could have been bigger or wish that there was more white area below the picture to have bigger font. Overall, I loved my save the date cards in this design and received many compliments."
"I love my Save the Dates featuring this design. I changed the design to purple, since my wedding colors are dark brown, purple, and cream. It is an upscale design without being over the top, and I like the font that's available as well. I also loved the matte finish of the product. I received many compliments from my future wedding guests about the finished look. Additionally, my cards came even faster than they were expected to, and I was able to take advantage of the great offers that Wedding Paper Divas have to get an even better deal than I was already getting! Would definitely order from again, and have recommended this site to many friends."
