6600 GT consistently hangs in 3d mode
BFG running on a ViewSonic VX922 with SLED 10.1 an older Athlon 64, no problems until I run anything with hardware acceleration, then I have about 2-3 minutes before mouse and keyboard completely freeze. Kernel is 18.104.22.168-0.16-default, driver is NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-1.0-7185-pkg2.run. Any ideas??
Re: 6600 GT consistently hangs in 3d mode
A couple. Firstly, freezes while hardware is under heavy load is usually a symptom of overheating. Leave the side off the case, if it gets any better, add a couple more fans. Secondly, stop using such a rubbish OS, you liberal homo communist pigdog.
Re: 6600 GT consistently hangs in 3d mode
Bingo dxx. Dead fan.
Are all the natives so friendly?

At least they got a donor, my brother died when he was barely 1 year old because of a heart issue.

I didn't even got the chance to know him. I just knew of him because I found my family book and there was a picture of a baby, a name, a birth date and a death date. I asked my mother and she told me he died because of heart issues. Nothing else.

it could have been a child that was around the same age that had been pronounced brain dead due to injury or illness. The child with the artificial heart didn't have no chance it had slim chance but a chance none the less organ donations don't work by sacrificing they work through people who are pronounced brain dead,(or cardiac arrest it depends if you're a donor you can choose)

Retailers that act now can receive reduced prices for online ads.
Consider this fair warning: A set of discounts offered by Google for its new—and non-free—comparison shopping service are about to expire in the coming days.
In case you've been off the electronic leash in some tropical utopia of seclusion for the past few months—in which case I would like to offer my services as your personal assistant, assuming travel is included, and no smartphone or e-mail use required—you know that Google is replacing free listings on the Google Product Search comparison shopping service with paid product listings ads through a new online program called Google Shopping. This isn't some slow-moving plan. This is happening now, and e-retailers have already reported sharply reduced traffic from Product Search. A full report on those changes, the reasons behind it, and what retailers can do to thrive in the new environment, will appear in the September issue of Internet Retailer magazine. In the meantime, you can read more here or here.
No one likes it when things that were generally free become things that generally cost money. You should have heard all the compound curses that I crafted when I realized that listening to the streamed baseball broadcasts from my hometown required me to fork over just a bit more scratch to the baseball-industrial complex. But Google's having a sale, and you should know about it.
Here's the deal: Google is offering merchants that create product listing ads by Aug. 15 a monthly credit for 10% of their total product listing ad spend through the end of 2012. Google also is offering merchants that now take part in Product Search $100 worth of credit toward their Google advertising; that promotion also expires Aug. 15. Merchants interested in the latter can find the required form at http://www.google.com/ads/shopping. Google won't say how many retailers have taken advantage of those incentives; the company's representatives will offer only that the company is "excited about the number of retailers that have signed up for Product Listing Ads since the transition to Google Shopping was announced in May, and about the range of products offered by these companies."
Good luck with Google Shopping, and please remember me when you exile yourself to the South Pacific.

JPMorgan, government finalize dealBy PETE YOST
and MARCY GORDON
The Associated Press | November 20,2013AP Photo
The JPMorgan Chase & Co. logo is displayed at their headquarters in New York, in this October file photo.WASHINGTON JPMorgan Chase & Co. has reached a record $13 billion settlement with federal and state authorities, resolving claims over the banks sales of low-quality, high-risk mortgage-backed securities that collapsed in value during the U.S. housing crisis.
The agreement is the latest chapter in the bursting of the housing bubble.
Without a doubt, the conduct uncovered in this investigation helped sow the seeds of the mortgage meltdown, Attorney General Eric Holder said. JPMorgan was not the only financial institution during this period to knowingly bundle toxic loans and sell them to unsuspecting investors, but that is no excuse for the firms behavior.
The settlement announced Tuesday requires JPMorgan to pay $9 billion and provide $4 billion in consumer relief, including principal reductions and other mortgage modifications for homeowners facing foreclosure.
According to a document filed as part of the settlement, JPMorgan acknowledged that it regularly represented to investors that mortgage loans in various securities complied with underwriting guidelines. Contrary to those representations, on a number of occasions JPMorgan employees knew that the securities did not comply with those underwriting guidelines, the Justice Department said.
The final issue in the settlement revolved around the $4 billion to compensate consumers. Some $1.5 billion will be a write-down to reduce the principal of homeowner loans; $300 million will enable homeowners to pay less now on their mortgages; and the remainder of the $4 billion will go toward reducing mortgage interest rates, originating new loans and helping revive blighted properties in some of the hardest hit areas of the housing crisis, such as Detroit. An independent monitor will be appointed to oversee the assistance to homeowners.
The agreement eclipses the record $4 billion levied on oil giant BP in January over the worst offshore oil spill in U.S. history.
Still to come is a decision on whether the Justice Department will file criminal charges against JPMorgan. An investigation is under way by the U.S. Attorneys office in Sacramento, Calif.
The nations biggest bank will pay more than $6 billion to compensate investors, pay $4 billion to help struggling homeowners and pay the remainder as a fine.
JPMorgan has said most of its mortgage-backed securities came from Bear Stearns Cos. and Washington Mutual Inc., troubled companies that JPMorgan acquired in 2008.
As part of the $6 billion to investors, $4 billion will resolve government claims that JPMorgan misled mortgage finance giants Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac about risky mortgage securities the bank sold them before the housing market crashed. That part of the deal was announced Oct. 25. Fannie and Freddie were bailed out by the government during the crisis and are under federal control.
The $13 billion JPMorgan settlement amount is only about half of its record 2012 net income of $21.3 billion, or $5.20 a share, which made it one of the most profitable U.S. banks last year.
Mounting legal costs from government proceedings pushed JPMorgan to a rare loss in this years third quarter, the first under CEO Jamie Dimons leadership. The bank reported Oct. 11 that it set aside $9.2 billion in the July-September quarter to cover the string of legal cases against the bank. JPMorgan said it has placed $23 billion in reserve to cover potential legal costs.
On Friday, the company announced it had reached a $4.5 billion settlement with 21 major institutional investors over mortgage-backed securities issued by JPMorgan and Bear Stearns between 2005 and 2008. The investors, which include Goldman Sachs, said the bank deceived them about the quality of high-risk mortgage securities.MORE IN National / World BusinessWASHINGTON U.S. Full StoryGroup recognizes Full StoryNEW YORK Stocks ended the day mostly flat on Thursday, recovering from broad losses earlier in...

First of all, I want you to excuse me for such a long absence. I was totally unable to use internet. Totally.
But i've been practicing a lot and made just HUUUUGE amount of pencil scetches! So this time wasn't wasted. Perhaps those ones won't appear on dA, but they can make me a better artist. Whenever.
Another moment. Now I have 16.711 messeges, and I have to look at all of them. So if I'm not faving or commenting your works - just wait, ok?
And now bad point. You know what I'm talking about.
Yes. Twilight.
It seems like all people around me are chatting about Twilight. Everybody knows everything about it and thinks that it MUST be interesting for everybody else. Including me, unfortunately.
I'm so tired of saying that I don't like Twilight.
Anyway, guys, I'm back again.

Letters to the editor
Fair Tax Act would help, not hurt, the country
The May 1 letter to the editor titled "Burr's tax reform plan would benefit Burr and friends" submitted by Robert G. Harrison exhibited Mr. Harrison's lack of knowledge or understanding of the Fair Tax Act of 2013.
Rather than only benefiting "Burr and his rich friends," the Fair Tax would benefit everyone, including low or non-income people.
I refer Mr. Harrison to the book which was co-written by Neil Boortz and former Congressman John Linder (of Georgia), titled "The Fair Tax," for a precise and clear explanation of how eliminating the federal income tax and replacing it with a national sales tax, would be a grand improvement to the financial health of the country, without harming lower-income residents.

Concerned about trailers and DMV tax collections
Two things I would like to address today:
The season for trucks pulling trailers has arrived. Has anyone noticed how many trailers on the road do not have valid license plates? More dangerous are those loaded with gear, hiding brake lights and the trailer is not equipped with lights, therefore, following drivers are unable to see the vehicles turn signals or brake lights. All of these instances are against existing codes, yet, I wonder how many citations are issued for these conditions? I had an officer tell me it is low on his radar.
Secondly, starting in the third quarter of this year, DMV will be collecting property taxes in addition to license fees. Since this would obviously seem to reduce the work load on County tax offices can we expect to see a reduction in office personnel?
Ken Walters

Bombardier could announce as early as today two firm orders for its CSeries regional jet, totalling 50 aircraft.
The Canadian manufacturer is expected to firm up a Lufthansa order for 30. Bombardier announced the German carrier as a customer last year at the Farnborough Air Show, and signed a letter of interest for 30 aircraft and 30 options.
Flightglobal's premium sister publication Commercial Aviation Online understands that Lufthansa will acquire the 110-seat version of the CSeries. Lufthansa could not be reached for comment.
Separately, Bombardier is also expected to announce an operating lessor as a new customer for the CSeries.
CAO understands that the manufacturer has agreed a 20-aircraft firm order with the lessor for the 130-seat CSeries model, with 20 options.

Someone has said that we live in a "microwave world." I don't think this means that we cook all our meals in the microwave. Rather, it means that we expect everything to happen right away. We want what we want and we want it now! If you think that this is how it ought to be in the Christian life you are headed for disappointment. God's timing isn't always what we would like it to be, but He is never too late or never too early. His timing is always perfect.
Part of our problem is that we don't have God's perspective. Our knowledge is so limited. We have only a few pieces of the puzzle. And yet we want to tell God what to do!
Isaiah reminds us that God's thoughts and ways are much higher than ours. "For My thoughts are not your thoughts, nor are your ways My ways," declares the Lord. "For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are My ways higher than your ways and My thoughts than your thoughts." (Isaiah 55:8-9)
So, when you think the Christian life out to be like a "microwave world" remember that you don't have the whole picture. Remember that your knowledge and perspective is limited. And trust that God's ways and God's timing is always best.

Grace has classes for all ages.(adults, children and youth)
All are welcome to Grace Free Lutheran Church for our Sunday School Bible instruction classes.
"And we have something more sure, the prophetic word, to which you will do well to pay attention as to a lamp shining in a dark place, until the day dawns and the morning star rises in your hearts, knowing this first of all, that no prophecy of Scripture comes from someone's own interpretation. For no prophecy was ever produced by the will of man, but men spoke from God as they were carried along by the Holy Spirit." (2 Peter 1:19-21).
The Adult Class in February will be on Biblical Prophesy and taught by Rev. Dave Fruehauf.
Pastor Fruehauf will teach on the record of the inspired prophetic words from the Old Testament which gives details about the Promised Messiah who came to redeem His people Israel. Scholars have identified about 300 Messianic prophecies which comforted and encouraged Israel as they walked in faith. Selected prophecies will be covered and compared to the New Testament fulfillment in the encouragement to the Body of Christ, strengthening faith and giving certain conviction regarding our redemption.
All are welcome to attend this class. The class will meet in the Library.

OCU Graduate Full of Gratitude
I have had the unique experience of seeing things at OCU from a student perspective, and now from a staff perspective, and the two views are quite different.
I came here as a freshman in 2009. At the time, I was trying to decide between OCU, Purdue University, and the University of Toledo. Each university meant a different path in my life. In the end, I felt that God was calling me to OCU even though I didn't understand why. I struggled tremendously during my time here, failing simple classes like Computer Lit and even Student Success. Financial Aid knew me by name because I couldn't pay my bills on time.
One day, while sitting in my advisor, Larry Olson's office, the weight of my failure and defeat crushing me, I asked him if any other student in his decades of experience had messed up as badly as I had. He shook his head. By all accounts I had failed not only myself, but God who called me here, and my family who was supporting me. I began to realize that my efforts were no longer cutting it, and something had to change.
Then I met Matt Decker when he came on board. After our very first conversation about grad school and the future, I went back to my dorm and broke down. That was a turning point for me, I began to work hard and did everything I could to redeem my GPA over the next 3 semesters. I met many staff and faculty members along the way that extended grace to me when I didn't deserve it.
Graduation was the most triumphant moment of my life to date. God reached down and pulled me out of the pit I had dug for myself through the grace and patience the staff and faculty extended to me. Looking back I realize that God knew exactly what He was doing when He called me to OCU.

Arsenal, who are understood to be long-time admirers of the France international, are once again being credited with holding an interest.
Lyon have admitted that they are open to offers for their most saleable assets, with their recruitment plans dependent on moving players on.
Gourcuff, who has struggled for form and fitness throughout his time at Stade Gerland, was believed to be among those most likely to be offloaded, but Lyon claim he will remain with them until the summer at least.
Club president Jean-Michel Aulas told tuttomercatoweb.com: "Until June he will definitely remain here, then we will discuss his future.
"He has been injured and this is not the time to talk about a move to another club."

A bit over a year ago, Daily Gumboot correspondent Katie Burns wrote a great post about the rise of resilience planning in emergency management, focussing on some great work being done in Australian cities. I remember reading it and feeling pretty stoked to be part of such a forward thinking and innovative bunch of people.
For a good ten years in Victoria, Australia, there was a significant movement towards developing resilient and responsible communities that understood the dangers of where they lived, knew how to respond to an emergency and could look after one another in a crisis.
Then, exactly three years ago today, everything changed when 173 people died and 2029 homes were destroyed in the Black Saturday bushfires. A Royal Commission was launched into how and why so many people lost their lives, and the final report included 67 recommendations for how emergency preparedness, education and response could be better managed.
One of the biggest changes for Victorians was the implementation of the Emergency Alert Warning System – a phone based warning system that sends a recorded message to landline phones and a text to cell phones advising people of impending emergencies. Over the past two years, the system has been used extensively to spread messages about floods, fires, chemical spills and cyclones, and I'm fairly certain that a message for the zombie apocalypse is ready to go, and just waiting for someone to push the button.
The system is a great tool, and is undoubtedly an important part of the overall emergency warning process, but sadly, it seems to be slowly removing the resilience and sense of responsibility that used to be a characteristic of Victorian communities during emergencies.
Anecdotal evidence is starting to show that instead of using intuition and local knowledge, people are now waiting for official warnings before they decide how they will respond to an emergency situation. One quote from a Melbourne newspaper has stayed with me since the floods in Victoria early last year, when a long-term local in a flood-prone area was quoted as saying "we could see the river rising behind the house, but we never got a warning".
Don't get me wrong, Emergency Alert is a great system, but like all great systems, it replies on a person to operate it, and sometimes that person has far less idea of what is actually happening than the people on the ground that are living the emergency.
It's a simple fact of emergency management that sometimes, communities know better than official sources, and if you can see, hear, smell or feel an emergency happening around you, waiting for an official warning might not be the safest thing to do.
What do you think? Is there such thing as over-warning a community of an impending emergency situation? Or is it the role and responsibility of emergency agencies to ensure that as far as possible, everyone receives a warning whenever and wherever they need it?

"Mature" is not a skin type. At any age, a woman can be struggling with a wide variety of skin issues, from dryness to rosacea, acne, oily skin, sun damage, skin discolorations, and wrinkles. The products marketed for mature skin always assume that adult women have dry skin, and that is absolutely not the case. Not to mention that there aren't any special skin-care ingredients for older skin versus younger skin.
Aside from this arbitrary skin-care category, this emollient moisturizer contains some great ingredients for dry skin; however, because it is packaged in a jar, the beneficial ingredients (including ubiquinone, otherwise known as coenzyme Q10) won't remain stable once it is opened. All plant extracts, vitamins, antioxidants, and other state-of-the-art ingredients break down in the presence of air, so once a jar is opened and lets the air in, these important ingredients begin to deteriorate. Jars also are unsanitary because you're dipping your fingers into them with each use, adding bacteria, which further deteriorate the beneficial ingredients. What a shame, because in better packaging this would be a very good, inexpensive moisturizer for dry skin.
For more mature skin, this rich cream blends coenzyme Q10, vitamins E, F and A and provitamin B5. It helps support skin's regeneration, reducing wrinkles, protecting against environmental effects, intensively moisturizing and boosting elasticity, firmness and radiance.

Lacura At-A-Glance
Strengths: Inexpensive (but at the price of good skin care); one good facial scrub; one good eye cream, though it is easily replaced with a well-formulated facial moisturizer; very good moisturizing mask for dry skin; excellent lipstick and lip gloss.
Weaknesses: Jar packaging for moisturizers, so the ingredients don't remain stable; limited distribution; most of the skin-care products are intensely fragranced; no sunscreens; no products to address acne or skin discolorations; no testers and the makeup is packaged so you cannot see the color without making a purchase; average powder blush; the waterproof mascara isn't waterproof and has a cloying fragrance.
Lacura is a Germany-based cosmetics line that is exclusive to Aldi, a chain of grocery stores found mostly in Midwest and East Coast states. Despite the limited distribution, the Cosmetics Cop Team has repeatedly been asked to review Lacura.
Lacura products made a big splash in Europe because of their low, and we mean really low, prices. Their arrival in the United States has garnered the same hopeful enthusiasm among budget-conscious shoppers.
So, is the hype deserved? Yes and no. Yes, because their best products, most of which are makeup, have prices that are tough to ignore; on the other hand, a resounding "No", because a lot of the skin-care products have problems that are hard to ignore. When products are badly formulated, any savings in terms of price are just not worth it; they're just a waste of your money.
Lacura did a great job with their lipstick and lip gloss as well as their pressed powder and eyeshadow. The color selection isn't extensive, but, for the most part, the shades are attractive and contemporary. It's unfortunate that the Lacura displays in Aldi stores don't have testers, because the makeup is packaged in such a way that it's impossible to see the color without prying the box open (and the color swatch on the box is a poor facsimile of what's inside).
There really isn't anything about the skin-care products that's worthy of your attention. The only options worth considering are the Regenerating Eye Cream, the Ultra Firming Mask, and the inexpensive three-packs of various lip balms, but even then you'll be dumbing down your skin-care routine.
The rest of the products are so far below average it's hard to see bottom. Almost every skin-care item has a strong, wafting fragrance; it's too bad that fragrance isn't skin care. All of the facial moisturizers are packaged in jars, so even though they do contain some decent ingredients, they break down in the presence of air.
Truly disappointing is Lacura's lack of options for acne, skin discolorations, and sun damage—there are no products to address these common concerns. Plus, most of the products are geared toward women with dry skin and little else.
One more point: If you're looking for a reliable daytime moisturizer with sunscreen (and you should be), Lacura absolutely isn't the line to shop. Although their facial moisturizers contain sunscreen ingredients, they are not listed as active (which is permissible in Europe because sunscreens are not regulated as over-the-counter drugs like they are in the States) and the products do not list SPF ratings, which is NOT permissible anywhere in the world if you are making a sun protection claim, as Lacura is. This means you haven't a clue about how much sun protection you'll get, and sun protection isn't something you want to remain clueless about!
For more information about Lacura, visit www.aldi.com. The company does not provide a phone number.
The new Beautypedia Team proudly and unequivocally maintains the commitment to help you find the best products possible for your skin. We do this by relentlessly pursuing and relying on published scientific research so you will have unbiased information on what works and what doesn't-and the sneaky ways you could be making your skin worse, not better!
The Beautypedia Team reviews all products using the same research, criteria, and objectivity, whether the product being reviewed is from Paula's Choice or another brand.
This was recommended to me by a friend who I know can afford to use much pricier products should she so desire and I have to say that I also found it to be a very good moisturiser, particularly bearing in mind the cost. The lack of any sunscreen, however, gave me cause for concern so I eventually went back to my former product and probably would not use it regularly for this reason as I find that layering too many products on my face (i.e. sunscreen on top of moisturiser) can cause breakouts.

Reverse Photoshop Tutorial
This is how I roll: I remember seeing something somewhere sometime somecentury about the problem I'm about to show you, but I'm too lazy, too tired, too busy, and too chubby to dig to the necessary depths to find out the answer and the solution.
Will you help me?
Can you help me?
What is that? The curious white halo surrounding the silhouettes in my photo of an icy blue morning last week?
To be specific, my questions are:
1. What causes the halo?
2. How can I avoid the halo?
3. How can I remove the halo?
4. Why does my belly jiggle?
5. Why do I have a cowlick?
6. When will you be over with the Coffee Haagen Dazs?
Answer those six questions and you've got a friend for life.
Well, you've got a friend anyway…but the Coffee Haagen Dazs would seal the deal.

Some of the other answers are probably technically right. But you could go new age-y on it and tell everyone you've "captured their aura."
Staci Kristine On Monday, November 16 at 1:44 pm
I agree that it's most likely due to over sharpening. It does weird things to pictures. If you like the contrast, you could try changing the white to something else (i.e. the sky color).
Open Photoshop/the picture. Duplicate the layer (just in case). Choose "Select" "Color Range". Click on the white and mess with the "fuzziness" until it looks like you've selected what you want (and not more than you want). Then use the eyedropper tool to choose a pretty color of the sky (you might need to do this ahead of time) and "fill" with the new color.
It might still look funny, but it might work really well! I have to do this a lot at work–it's all trial and error.
Alicia On Monday, November 16 at 1:52 pm
I understand that this can also happen when you're using High Pass to sharpen, and you use a higher amount than you need. So like, a full-size image I can do at 4, but if I crop first and then run at 4, I get a halo.
Leyla On Monday, November 16 at 1:57 pm
Wish I could help you out… But I have no clue! It looks beautiful the way it is though. I'm not sure I'd want to get rid of it. It sort of adds to the effect. Makes the contrast that much sharper! =)
Lin On Monday, November 16 at 2:08 pm
It could be just over sharpened in photoshop. Part of reason could also due to noise from high ISO. Try that noise removal software.
carol davis On Monday, November 16 at 2:45 pm
Ree – I think it's your camera & lenses. You need new ones. I'll take your old stuff for you , aren't I kind?
I think it's the Photoshop too.
The jiggle – I got it too. I have 5 kids though, all csections. I earned it. And homeschooling… we never move. It's just one kid comes over, asks questions, leaves, and is replaced by yet another. We'll have perfect bodies in Heaven. And the coffee icecream won't have calories there either.

kristin On Monday, November 16 at 3:24 pm
you know what? i actually see those halos around people… it looks exactly like that. i know that sounds silly. but it is true. well- it WAS true until after i had babies and my vision started to deteriorate. now i'm just happy that i can see- though apparently i'm a bit overly concerned since the people who look at my prescription laugh and ask if they are reading glasses.
karen On Monday, November 16 at 3:25 pm
I have no idea what causes the halo. On a different topic, I need to suggest a Ben and Jerry's flavor ….Coffee Heath Bar Crunch….yum! yum! yum!
Catharine On Monday, November 16 at 3:28 pm
Would it be similar to the hairlights you get when your back is to the sun? I'm sure it is more technical then that, but that was my first guess.
BeachMama On Monday, November 16 at 3:37 pm
I think you have the answers you need here, but I will support the in camera issues, sometimes called Artifacting. Without actually seeing the photos on my own computer with all the details it really is hard to tell you what might of happened here.
If it came out of the camera fine, then it is in your post processing, which quite a few people have suggested how to avoid having it happen.
For what it's worth, it looks good in this set.
Terri Sinclair On Monday, November 16 at 3:41 pm
Probably someone's answered by now but halo's can come from the light source being behind the subjects head.
Here are some great tips:
Also, I'm a "Nikoian" . It's an online message board for people with Nikon camera's. You might check it out. It's great for answering questions like this – but, then again, why bother – you have all the answers you need here!!!
Wayfaring Wanderer On Monday, November 16 at 3:48 pm
It might have to do with DEFRINGING?!?!
Amy J On Monday, November 16 at 3:49 pm
I haven't read through all the comments but I've had some strange ones too that show up BEFORE any processing is done. Someone once mentioned to me that it might be a "chromatic aberration"… whatever the heck that is. If you find out let me know.
Why don't we start a club called "Cowlick Jiggly Belly Chicks Unite" and claim Coffee Haagen Dazs as the club ice cream of choice? Who says we can't?
Crystal Heis On Monday, November 16 at 4:01 pm
It's not chromatic aberration, or de fringing. It's most likely an artifact caused by over sharpening. Sharpening looks at where there is a difference in tonality and then increases the contrast, making some of the adjacent pixels slightly lighter and the others slightly darker. You don't notice it in the black areas, well…because they are black. But, you will see it the effect as a halo in the lighter areas. I'm sure there is a more technical description of this phenomenon, but I try to keep it simple. Take it easy on the sharpening and you should be fine. Using your sharpen slightly action I find two runs is about all I can do. After that I'll start to notice the dreaded halos. I hope that helps.
Cher On Monday, November 16 at 4:01 pm
there all angels, that's why! The halos just prove it! *wink*
Vicki On Monday, November 16 at 4:02 pm
I cannot help you with the ice cream or Photo Shop…however, the cowlick thing is in my area of expertise. Okay, maybe not expertise but I do have one, along with a mop of curly hair. "Kenra" brand has a "root lifting spray" which makes hair stay where you put it back there. I thought I was half bald until that stuff! Give it a try. http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B001DMQ6BG
Donna Edwards On Monday, November 16 at 4:10 pm
I don't see a halo.
Am I doomed?
Tara. On Monday, November 16 at 4:46 pm
If you're hosting your photo at Flickr, that could be part of the issue. They're notorious for adding sharpness to a picture when you upload it there. I've learned to not sharpen as much when I know I'm going to host a photo there because Flickr does some of that on its own, which is really, really annoying.
Maybe go have the image printed and see how much the "halo" effect shows up in print and start fresh from there. Make sure you share your corrections with us!
For what it's worth, I wouldn't have noticed had you not said something and I don't think anyone else would have, either. Your pictures are beautiful!
JennaLayne On Monday, November 16 at 4:58 pm
Nobody knows nothin bout nothin! Its the flux capacitor, peoples!
Danae W On Monday, November 16 at 5:15 pm
to change the subject…
what about the HONORABLE MENTIONS from the shutterfly book contest? Just wonder'n.
Laura Flowers On Monday, November 16 at 5:18 pm
1. What causes the halo? A type of chromatic aberration or fringing from a digital camera who's sensors are basically blown out from being confused between too dark and too light.
2. How can I avoid the halo? Try shooting from a different angle to the sun when doing shadows like this.
3. How can I remove the halo? Um, carefully with Photoshop. It will take a long painful time lol. Can you just retake the pic?
4. Why does my belly jiggle? Like me, you run a food blog and feed people because you are a woman who cooks.
5. Why do I have a cowlick? Genetics.
6. When will you be over with the Coffee Haagen Dazs? As soon as you don't make me Photoshop out that angelic halo from your family.
Minnesota Girl On Monday, November 16 at 5:26 pm
Maybe they are all just angels…can't wait to see you at the MOA on Saturday!
Angela On Monday, November 16 at 5:56 pm
This would probably be the result of drastic editing in photoshop or over-editing (as others have said). I was recently at a Photoshop seminar for photographers and they gave us this tip for removing "edge fringe":
Barbara Louise On Monday, November 16 at 6:00 pm
I did an example here for you to check out !
Hope you like it !
A Canuck On Monday, November 16 at 6:09 pm
Yup, due to high contrast between the sihouettes and the sky. Is it there in the SOOC shot? If only in the edited shot, you may be able to do something with the original… It may be chromatic aberration, but mine is usually red/magenta… I can usually mostly remove it in Adobe Camera Raw (CS4), fiddling with the appropriate sliders…
Good luck.
jojov On Monday, November 16 at 6:34 pm
My vote goes to #56 for all the best answer. Escpecailly with regard to the cowlick.
But you weren't looking to votes, were you?
I think you have lots of great info from the others on the technical side so I won't add anything else.
animators wife On Monday, November 16 at 6:38 pm
Maybe someone else has already solved all your problems, but I think it's over-sharp. Don't sharpen high contrast silhouettes and you'll avoid the halo.
And if you figure out a way to solve the jiggle, please email me.

I'm with you on the coffee Haagen Dazs – my very favorite ice cream ever. Don't know a thing about photography, but my belly jiggles too. I like to blame it on having babies, but maybe it's the Haagen Dazs….
Mariah On Monday, November 16 at 7:40 pm
The halo is from sharpening… a more natural sharpening (clarity) in RAW will take care of some of that, but not all.
Kelly On Monday, November 16 at 8:04 pm
In order for your belly to jiggle, I would say you have to be jumping on a trampoline wearing granny panties.
Melanie On Monday, November 16 at 8:06 pm
You know it's all from global warming. You were just waiting for someone to say it.
Jackie On Monday, November 16 at 8:17 pm
I wish I knew more about photography.
And PhotoShop.
I guess I'm of no help. But your pictures do look great.
My belly jiggles, too.
I blame 3 kids.
And Ben & Jerry.

Questions other than the halo skipped – too dangerous.
The halo "fringe" can be modified by opening the shot in Camera Raw, selecting "Lens Corrections", then working with the sliders for Red/Cyan or Blue/Yellow to reduce the effect.
It happens to the best – there was a shot on Scott Kelby's blog with the same halo around his subject.
Thank you for an absolutely wonderful blog. And best of luck with your book tour.

Ooooh I have coupons for Hagen Daz!
Lola On Monday, November 16 at 9:36 pm
I also feel like I'm going a bit nutty as I do NOT see the halos in question…
fanfreakingtastic shots though.
gayle On Monday, November 16 at 9:51 pm
Ghosts?! Sorry, I have no idea. But I did buy Breyers coffee ice cream at the food store today! We like Breyers brand, and it's not as expensive as Haagen Dazs!
Chaf On Monday, November 16 at 9:56 pm
It really looks like over-sharpening to me. One trick I didn't see explicitly mentioned above: If the file out of the camera looks fine, and this happened in Photoshop, then next time you use the Sharpen filter, try setting the radius MUCH smaller, to like 0.2 pixels, and the sharpening "amount" much higher (maybe 80%) to compensate.
Karen Brockney On Monday, November 16 at 10:44 pm
I just went to a Photoshop workshop with Ben Willmore and he taught us how to fix those glowing edges!
He says they are caused by JPEG artifacts when you do some extreme processing in RAW.
Here's a video lesson (Episode 152) where he explains how to fix them:
Can't help on some of the other questions, but I'll share the Coffee Haagens Daz with you.
Dianne in L.A. On Monday, November 16 at 11:01 pm
I had a coffee Haagen Dazs bar today. If I had only known, I would have saved part of it for you…but how to get it from here to there?? And maybe that wouldn't have been enough–did you have a carton in mind? And I don't know, really, if I could have eaten just part of a bar. They are very good. But you know that already.
Elizabeth Simmons On Monday, November 16 at 11:02 pm
#23 Nicole, I agree with #25 Texas Susan–get yourself the 50mm lens for just a few dollars more. It's a fun lens to have on hand.
Ree, looks like you got some pretty good answers to your questions.
Have a super day,
Shaina @ Food for My Family On Monday, November 16 at 11:44 pm
1. What causes the halo? Chromatic aberration is my guess, but a bunch of people have touched on that.
2. and 3. Seem to have also been answered by the wonderful people above.
4. Why does my belly jiggle? You like to belly dance?
5. Why do I have a cowlick? I will make you feel all better about yours by showing you my one-year-old son's massive frontal swirls. I have no idea what to do with his hair. I've been avoiding cutting it because of them, but I know I have to eventually. It is getting a bit…scraggly.
6. When will you be over with the Coffee Haagen Dazs? November 21. Can't wait!
Jutta On Tuesday, November 17 at 12:44 am
I started off to bring you some ice cream, but my good sense got the better of me. I realized that the ice cream wold melt all over my car. Consequently, I had to stop and empty the container – right into my empty, yet oh so full stomach. C'est la vie!
Audrey C On Tuesday, November 17 at 1:00 am
I have all the answers to your life's questions:
1. What causes the halo?
Waking up too early.
2. How can I avoid the halo?
Sleep in.
3. How can I remove the halo?
Pour a little Vodka into your Haagen Dazs.
4. Why does my belly jiggle?
Haagen Dazs
5. Why do I have a cowlick?
I love Josh.
6. When will you be over with the Coffee Haagen Dazs?
When will Josh be there?
You're welcome.
Pam On Tuesday, November 17 at 1:10 am
Have you ever heard of NAPP before? Reason being….if you have a PhotoShop question, no matter how technical or simple THEY can answer if for you! The membership is $99 a year-the best $99 I've ever spent. I've been a member for over 3 years and they have answered so many questions for me. They are the cream of the crop when it comes to PhotoShop education. Check em' out-you won't be sorry!
Lisa On Tuesday, November 17 at 2:23 am
I knew I liked you! Now I know why…….I am the biggest fan ever of coffee haagen dazs…..we're talkin a 20 plus year love affair with the stuff. I've sworn if off 100 times, but I just keep going back for more. How can it be so wonderful? It has positively ruined me for any other frozen flavor! In fact, I wonder if there is any left in the freezer…uh, I gotta go……..Ha
nancy On Tuesday, November 17 at 4:59 am
Oh good Lord after reading all this I'll have to go buy some of that ice cream.
Suzie On Tuesday, November 17 at 9:21 am
Although I'm not sure what caused it, the way I would fix it might be an odd way of doing it, but they halo would be gone!
I would use the Magic Wand Tool and select the black in the photo (the people).
Copy the selection and paste it into a new layer.
Move that layer up, so that it covers the halo.
Like I said, I'm sure there is a better way of doing it, but this is all I could come up with
As for jigglying bellies – isn't that what photoshop is for!?
alex On Tuesday, November 17 at 1:03 pm
rim light?
"In photography, a back light (usually the sun) that is about sixteen times more intense than the key light will produce a silhouette".
PamperingBeki On Tuesday, November 17 at 2:43 pm
I like the halo.
I know it's technically a "no-no" in pictures, but I dig it.
I've never been normal though….
charlotte wilson On Tuesday, November 17 at 4:19 pm
I wonder if it has something to do with the contrast of temperature of the physical bodies with the outdoor air temp. just a guess. :o)
Diana M. On Tuesday, November 17 at 7:43 pm
If you see areas of bright-colored fringe appearing around objects in your RAW photos, you're suffering from Chromatic Aberrations (well, you're not, but your camera's lens is). Under the Lens tab in Camera Raw, there are two sliders (Fix Red/Cyan Fringe and Fix Blue/Yellow Fringe) that you let you slide those problems away, but seeing the problem clearly enough to eliminate the fringe is your first challenge. That's why you'll want to know this tip: If you hold the Option key (PC: Alt key) while you're dragging either Chromatic Aberration slider, it will only show the two channels you're adjusting in the preview area, making it easier to see—and repair—the problem.
Daiquiri On Wednesday, November 18 at 8:50 pm
I'm not expert, but I THINK I know…
1. over-sharpening.
2. shoot in RAW and be careful about post-processing sharpening
3. I'd have to zoom way in to see for sure, but might be as simple as using the paint bucket in PS to fill it with black or blue. You might also try the "magic selector" brush to choose all the black, and then "outline" your selection with a line of black that's as many pixels wide as you need it to be to fill the white.
4. 4 babies, sista. I'm with ya.
5. Your mom. Or your dad. Or the postman who flirted with your mom that once. Or extra sour pickles. Or 4 babies…the babies are good for blaming almost anything on (jiggles and sags, strange smells, missing cookies, mental illness, being late, etc.)
6. You supply the Coffee Haagen Daz, and I'll bring the homemade fudge sauce that will give us both more problems with #4 (but is very worth it).
Ann On Thursday, November 19 at 2:52 pm
You can have my coffee H-D,
I'm all about peppermint ice cream during the holidays
(with plenty of hot fudge)
todd On Thursday, November 19 at 11:30 pm
It is halo. It is a matter of the physics of the optics and the digital sensor and is amplified by in-camera sharpening (USM). It happens almost always when shooting silhouettes wide open, gets worse the wider you go and even more with cheaper lenses (like the canon plastic fantastic 50mm 1.8). Don't want it to happen? Don't shoot silhouettes wide open, don't shoot wide, shoot RAW or dial down the in camera sharpening/contrast. If that fails, there is always the 50mm 1.2
Katrina On Friday, November 20 at 2:58 pm
I like the haylo. It makes me think of those energy field pictures. This will sound new age weird but what the heck.
I like it because it makes me think that these Cowboys are pure and kind and living close to the calling God gave them. When you do what you love with a pure heart you put off white light. Silly and I know its a camera thing. (or is it)?
Misti Wheeler On Friday, November 20 at 4:13 pm
I barely see it. I've taken a few pics like that myself. And they look like that before I edited at all. Very frustrating. When you find out, let me know!!
Matt Needham On Sunday, November 22 at 10:04 am
Many sharpening techniques increase edge contrast to make the edge look sharper. That means the lighter side edge gets lighter and the darker side gets darker. The halo is caused by lightening the lighter side of the edge. Unfortunately this becomes very noticeable in areas of even tone. Dial back the sharpening or blend the halos so the change in tone is less noticeable. If the gradient between bright edge and the rest of the even tone is spread out enough we can't see the halo, but we still get the edge sharpening effect.

about the haagen dazs, i did it once. stuff your face with many, many, many gallons of ice cream until you absolutely hate it!
JP On Sunday, November 29 at 10:34 am
I don't think that this is chromatic aberration since the halo has a uniform color all the way around the silhouette. This may be simple diffraction around the subjects and not have to do with the camera at all. Light will naturally form like and dark outlines around objects, though usually you don't notice it.
Country4x4 On Saturday, December 5 at 9:13 pm
You have a chromatic aberration which is the failure of a lens to focus all colors to the same point. Lens are not perfect through a camera and often adjustments have to be made. Especially when shooting wide open.
You can correct it several ways through Photoshop.
Edit through Hue/Saturation:
Select the color channel to change (ex: cyan or magenta, etc). Use the eyedropper tool and click on any point in the picture that needs to be fixed for chromatic abberation.
Reduce the saturation slider and lightness slider until the offending color fades. Doing this should remove the fringing.
Edit through Replace Color:
Open Replace Color command by clicking Image >> Adjustment >> Replace Color
Use the eyedropper tool and click on the area where the color needs to be changed. You see a preview of the area where the colors are going to be replaced. Use (+ eyedropper) or (- eyedropper) and click on the area where colors have to be replaced until you get the desired area selected.
Create the color you want to replace by adjusting hue, saturation and lightness sliders. Otherwise click on the box to open color picker and choose the color you want to replace with.
Once you have the desired color, click OK to replace the edges with this color. This should remove the fringing.
Anyway … it varies with each image and how to correct. But this will get you started.
Good luck!

incremental changes in long-established industry sectors. Disruptive technologies have two important characteristics. First, they typically present different performance attributes—such as providing a carbon-free source of electricity—that, at least at the outset, are not valued by a majority of customers. Second, the performance attributes (e.g., costs) for disruptive technologies that customers do value can improve at such a rapid rate that the new technology can overtake established markets. Figure 6.1 shows how the performance of a disruptive technology that was once lagging that of an earlier established technology can improve at a faster rate. However, such performance improvements are speculative and are not preordained. In the case of renewable electricity technologies, on a conventional cost-of-energy basis traditional sources of electricity generation initially outperform non-hydropower renewables. The attraction of technologies that use renewable resources, together with government incentives, has been responsible for much of their market presence. However, owing to improvements in renewable technologies and cost increases for fossil fuels and nuclear power, renewables are gaining the ability to match the cost performance of traditional generating sources both in the wholesale power market and on the customer side of the meter.
This chapter explores the logistical and market barriers to commercial-scale deployment of renewable electricity. Although individual renewable energy technologies have unique developmental and economic characteristics, there are, common, non-technical challenges as well, including (1) constraints on capacity for larger-scale manufacturing and installation and limitations on the availability of trained employees for manufacturing, installation, and maintenance; (2) integration of intermittent resources into the existing electricity infrastructure and market; (3) market requirements such as capacity for competing in price and performance with conventional lower-cost coal, nuclear, and natural-gas-fired power plants; and (4) risk and related issues, including business risk, cost issues, and unpredictability of and inconsistency in regulatory policies.
Because of the robust regulatory and business activities related to wind and solar energy industries, many examples discussed in this chapter come from these sources. However, they are used to indicate deployment issues associated to some degree with other renewable sources of electricity.
