I'm not sure. The enlarger is really a macro camera with the subject (the film) much closer to the lens than the film (in this case, the paper!).
If it was focussing an image at infinity onto the paper then a change in the subject distance of a few hundred feet (think mountains in the distance) would be negligable.
In the case of a macro camera, there is a very narrow depth of field and this translates to the position of the film in an enlarger. Obviously this is ideal for an enlarger as the film is very narrow too as long as it is flat but it does have to be in the right place.
Doesn't really answer the question though!

One of the top commenters said this:
Pause at 0:22. That just about summarizes the average moviegoers understanding or how much they care about the difference.
And that's the real point no filmmakers seem to address about digital is that it's an evolving TOOL, not a standard. Just like shooting on FILM is a TOOL and? it evolved over the course of 100 years, like every other facet of filmmaking. Adapt or die, as the saying goes.
Adapt or die, as the saying goes.
That final line is the rallying cry of the modern world. *Begin sarcasm and cynicism* "Digital is the best thing since sliced bread. It's new! It's superior! The two technologies can't exist side by side! Analog is old and nasty!!!!!! EEEEWWWW!!!!!" *End sarcasm and cynicism*
Even stupid Cracked Magazine managed to tick me off by implying Kodak never tried to go digital:
Reason #5. Technology Is Frozen Forever
The world isn't kind to people who don't keep up with the times. Film and camera maker Kodak just went bankrupt because they couldn't adapt to a world of digital cameras.
Of course, I felt like posting a rebuttal talking about mismanagement, but I knew that most people wouldn't care. It seems like no one cares about preserving their memories on a far more stable medium. That's why I take my most important pictures on film.
Which is why I'll load my Mamiya DTL 500 tomorrow and go shooting. As long as smaller companies keep producing film, I'll be happy.

Typical digital zombies say: "Adapt or die!" "The world is changing, change with it!" "Analog is old and nasty! EEEEEEEWWWWWW!" "Why should I pay money for getting my pictures when I can have everything NOW?" "Why shoot manual when you can have the camera do everything automatically?"

As someone who works in the film business, I have been growing more and more discouraged by the growing absence of film cameras on film sets, and it was nice to read this article. I liked how the article was a persuasive argument for the qualities of film, particularly the archival qualities of film, instead of taking the more typical stance of siding with new technology.
Thank you for posting the article for us.

Yuck, digital movies. You can't even project digital still images with the same resolution as the captured image in the camera, at best you have a poor 1920x1080 projection vs. capture at 5184x3456 (Canon 7D) or 5616x3744 (1DsIII), for example.
Initial Digital Cinema installations were 2K installations, with a resolution of 2048 pixels by 1080 pixels (HDTV's are 1920x1080 or 1280x720).
Sony was the first to introduce 4K systems, which display 4096 pixels by 2160 pixels, and other manufacturers have followed. 4096 pixels across a 75' wide screen?! 54 pixels per foot, 4.5 pixels per inch. Sit close and you see the pixels clearly.
Gimme film projection!!!
Not just Tarantino as a film supporter, Spielberg, too! http://gigaom.com/video/spielberg-se...l-light-kinda/
"SPIELBERG: Eventually Ill have to shoot [and edit] movies digitally, when the"re is no more film and Im willing to accept that. But I will be the last person to shoot and cut on film, yknow?
I went to see Contraband with friends a couple of months ago and we saw it at one of the big multiplexes nearby. Unfortunately, it was being digitally projected and the raster scan lines were visible even seated there quarters of the way back from the screen in the theatre and were glaringly visible whenever the ship was shown diagonally on the screen. This isn't an issue with film because the grains aren't deposited in exactly the same place each frame so you don't get a fixed pattern forming in the image the way the scan lines do or the jagged edges in diagonal or curved lines.
Both of us were really pissed off because after paying some pretty steep admission prices, the theatre ran a ton of ads before the show began including ditching previews entirely to squeeze more ads in, followed by the movie with the low quality digital image. We might as well have saved a lot of money and watched TV at home since that's pretty much what was being shown on the big screen. Since then I haven't bothered seeing movies in theaters except for an independent place nearby, and that theatre's going to suffer if release prints dry up. The last time I was there, the owner told me he's not sure how long he's going to be able to stay in business.
I do recall a technical Oscar I think just this year for the development a film recorder. One thing that studios are learning is the cost of archiving a digital film in digital media is a real costly affair.
my real name, imagine that.

Ceapro has released new information demonstrating the quality of their CP Oat Beta Glucan, when compared to a commercial hyaluronic acid. When tested in a standardised study using eleven subjects, the clear, odourless liquid ingredient was found to improve the moisturising effect of the epidermis superficial layers by 16% after one application.
CP Oat Beta Glucan not only offers high levels of moisturisation, but also previous studies have demonstrated its capabilities to reduce fine lines and wrinkles. This makes it an ideal ingredient for anti-ageing products. Studies show the appearance of lines and wrinkles are reduced, with a 16% reduction in the average depth of the deepest wrinkle, and a 13% reduction in overall roughness after eight weeks' use. In addition CP Oat Beta Glucan promotes collagen synthesis, allowing for improved skin elasticity as well as acting as a natural immuno-stimulent. CP Oat Beta Glucan is ideal for skin rejuvenating creams, lotions and serums, as although an effective film-former, the ingredient is also capable of penetrating the skin. Due to its patented extraction process, CP Oat Beta Glucan is highly purified allowing for exceptionally easy formulation.

The Park indoor skateboard park is a space where skateboarders can shred, ollie, catch air and more.
- Filed Under
As I recall it, back in my day if you rode a skateboard, you balanced on one foot and propelled yourself down the street or driveway with your other foot. Maybe there was a fancy spin here or there and possibly a ramp, but I don't remember anyone riding on banisters or jumping a flight of concrete steps.
Skateboarding has skyrocketed into a new dimension in the past 30 years, and I would imagine parents might have some anxiety about injury or the influences of the culture. But like any other thing kids are in to, the trick is to be involved - to know where they are and who they are with and in this case, to use ...

I am currently working on a sailor suit (Simplicity 4711) for my soon-to-be-born son, and it calls for a continuous lap. I have never done one before, and I am getting so frustrated with it. I cut everything precisely, and I think I followed the instructions correctly but obviously I did something wrong because the lap is sticking out instead of meeting up nicely and "tucking" inside under where the buttonholes go.
I tried to find videos online that show how to do this, but I am not having any luck. I also looked at reviews for the pattern and no one else seems to have this problem.
Here is a link to pictures of the problem and of the instructions I followed:
I can see the problem, the piece that is showing should be folded under, in the seam, and then, the flap where the button holes go is sticking out to go over where the buttons go, and the continuous lap will be invisible.
Hope this is clear. good luck.
Thank you so much! Time to start picking stitches.

|The Image – by any means
|Minard, Richard
|Art is inherently a reflection of the human condition. As I am working, my intention is to make images that, at the very least, capture the audience's attention. By adding layers and fracturing the images, I want the audience to see through various visual relationships. These visual relationships can be interpreted as a metaphor of the often hectic and unstable qualities of daily life. As the human figure is my connection to the work, it also serves as the viewer's connection. The blending of media and mixing up of figurative representation with abstraction is my attempt to challenge the viewer to search for their own humanity among the clamor of everyday existence. I want to bring a sense of balance and harmony to the disorder of being. This body of work is an attempt to blend abstract expressionistic painting, collage, and large-format, digital, inkjet printing. In the past I have always kept my life as a graphic designer separate from my life as an artist. I now feel comfortable with the idea of integrating these aspects of myself to create energetic, stimulating, and thought-provoking images. The finished pieces range in size from 36"x24" to 63"x45". Some elements in the imagery are painterly in contrast to the mechanical and digital processes that I employ. Figurative elements are combined with abstract forms. Through training, education, and practice I have come to be a process-oriented artist. I don't intend to make art that overtly makes any kind of personal, social or political statement. The two things most important to me are the act of making the image and the image itself. This does not mean that content does not play a role in my process. As I work, I let the content emerge intuitively. I use the figure as an element of form. I use bright, contrasting and complementary colors to stimulate the image. I integrate pattern and design to create depth and motion.

UT:TFV Part III Infinities Unbound
View Single Post
October 26 2013, 07:38 PM
Rear Admiral
Location: US Pacific Northwest
UT:TFV Part III Infinities Unbound (Chapter 5)
Chapter Five
Class-M planet Alanthal
The native Alanthalians of this continent favored sweeping, palatial architecture, not completely dissimilar to Terran French Baroque or the Green Period of Efrosian construction. It was into this mélange of blocky but garishly ornate buildings and buttresses that Larragos materialized.
It took him less than a second to feel the presence of others nearby, entirely too close for comfort. He spun around, reaching for the phaser sidearm hed requisitioned in the transporter room. With the weapon not yet halfway out of its holster, Larragos came face-to-face with a chagrined looking Lieutenant Leone, decked out in an unfastened tactical vest hastily thrown on over his uniform and cradling a phaser rifle. Two of
Starfleet Marine contingent flanked the young officer.
XOs orders, sir, Leone launched preemptively.
Where the hell from? Larragos asked hotly.
Simultaneous beam-in from transporter room three, Captain.
Larragos grunted sardonically. Well, in that case, welcome to the party. With that he turned and walked away, his three-man security detail trailing behind him.
The locale appeared to be a central government complex, with ostentatious bureaucratic buildings interspersed with meticulously cultivated gardens and park areas. If the planet had been subject of an attack by either or both of the intruder species, it certainly hadnt happened here. The only things that appeared out of place were mobile Klingon surface-to-orbit torpedo batteries and disruptor cannons that had been stationed in courtyards and some of the park grounds.
The complete absence of people did trigger Larragos suspicion, however. Take a scan. Is there anyone around or is this all for show?
One of the Marines tapped at the combat tricorder built into his forearm gauntlet. Im reading both Alanthalian and Klingon lifesigns in the surrounding structures, sir.
The Klingon security team that intercepted them was good, very good. Larragos usually had a sixth-sense for knowing when he was being watched, but the stealth-suited commandos were on them in an instant without having registered on the Marines tricorder.
A dozen disruptor toting men became visible simultaneously as their mimetic armor deactivated.
Larragos cast a suddenly mischievous glance over his shoulder at Leone and the Marines before looking towards what he assumed to be the commanding officer of the intercept cadre. In his most guttural Klingon, Larragos proclaimed, Take me to your leader!
* * *
They and their Klingon escorts entered a cavernous audience chamber, now emblazoned with Klingon banners bearing the imperial trefoil.
The venue was conspicuously devoid of native Alanthalians, none of whom Larragos had yet laid eyes on. Brigadier GanLouk was seated in a large, throne-like chair, surrounded by portable computer work-stations manned by Klingon technicians. Holographic screens projected onto the walls between the gaudy imperial banners denoted activity in orbit as well as on the planets surface.
Larragos moved away from his escorts, making a beeline for GanLouk. A Klingon bodyguard who interceded crumpled to the floor so quickly Leone hadnt the opportunity to see what his captain had done to the man.
GanLouk looked up from a padd, clearly unimpressed and seemingly unconcerned. That was uncalled for, Commander, he assessed gravely.
What is the meaning of this outrage? Larragos hissed, his whole frame vibrating with barely contained anger.
GanLouk fixed the El Aurian with an inscrutable expression. Specify.
Youve invaded and conquered a pre-warp civilization as well as started hostilities with two intruder formations! Larragos fairly shouted.
Your ship went in to transwarp drive over a standard month ago and vanished, Commander, GanLouk explained in an unaccountably reasonable tone. Now you emerge from the ether, unaware of how events have unfolded in your absence, yet frothing at the mouth and making unwarranted accusations.
Larragos pointed a visibly shaking hand at the Klingon general. You just couldnt pass on a chance to try and show me up, could you?
Have care, Commander. My patience with your theatrics wears thin, GanLouk warned. I allowed your unauthorized intrusion into what is now Klingon territory, and have thus far been a cordial host. GanLouk rose to his feet unhurriedly, his eyes locked on Larragos. I am the commanding general of this theater, and I will tolerate no more insolence from you.
Larragos was unmoved. Ill give you twenty-four hours to gather your people and get off th
The crack of GanLouks back-handed strike reverberated throughout the largely stone chamber, followed by the echoing slap of Larragos body hitting the floor and the surprised grunt the blow drew from him.
Perhaps you did not hear me, Pava? GanLouk stood his ground atop the dais, near the chair, looking down at where Larragos lay sprawled on the ground. Youre obviously not yourself, which is a pity. If we are going to settle our differences, Id rather you be in full command of your inestimable abilities.
Leone and the Marines stood by, their hands kept carefully away from their rifles as the Klingon commandos continued to hold them at disruptor-point.
Larragos scrambled to his feet, his face a rictus of outrage, his eyes burning with an unnamed fury. Get down here, and lets do this, he called out.
GanLouk threw off his outer cloak, revealing a powerful body moving beneath a thin fabric covering. Though his armor paid homage to traditional Klingon garb, it had obviously been designed to allow for ease of movement, with segmented plates that shifted fluidly with the brigadiers frame. He spoke not another word, but stepped down to the level occupied by Larragos.
Larragos struck, but he seemed to be moving in slow motion in comparison to the brigadier. GanLouk blocked Pavas blow and responded with a lightening-quick grab and throw that resulted in Larragos rolling inelegantly across the cobblestone-like floor before finding his feet again. You see that I did not blind you, nor tear out your throat as you taught me, GanLouk spoke as if lecturing to a class of students.
Again, Larragos rose to his feet, his gaze fixated on GanLouk. You arrogant little shit, he growled between clenched teeth. He moved forward with surprising speed from a dead stand-still as GanLouk stepped back to absorb the oncoming fury of his attack.
A flurry of blows followed, parried by equally fast defensive counters before the two men closed the gap between them and grappled furiously. Larragos dropped to the ground, executing a leg-sweep that accomplished nothing more than eliciting a laugh from GanLouk as his leg absorbed the impact like the trunk of some great, unmoving tree.
In response, GanLouk reached down and snatched Larragos up by the scruff of his uniform jacket before throwing him a full five meters across the chamber to collapse heavily to the floor. Clumsy, the brigadier assessed. Clumsy
slow. Today, it would seem, is not your day, Pava.
Larragos let loose a guttural cry as he charged headlong towards the general. GanLouk stepped to the side gracefully for someone of his size, delivering a crushing closed-fisted blow to Larragos sternum that stopped the smaller man cold in mid-stride. The El Aurians whole body shuddered with the force of the impact, and he sank slowly to his knees as a soft groan escaped his lips.
I did not stop your heart, GanLouk continued, nor did I break your neck.
Larragos shook his head, rallying his reserves as he attempted to rise.
GanLouk touched a hand to the nape of Pavas neck, performing a textbook Vulcan nerve pinch that immediately rendered Larragos unconscious. The brigadier lowered Larragos gently to the floor before standing to address the other Starfleet personnel.
Return your captain to your ship, and tell your first officer to beam down as soon as practical, he commanded. Inform your ships surgeon that Larragos is likely suffering from the aftereffects of a temporal fugue, brought on by your transwarp displacement. An infusion of neutrally-charged chronometric particles directed at his hippocampus might theoretically correct his condition.
GanLouk directed his grim visage at Leone. Do you understand your orders, Lieutenant?
Dominic licked his lips unconsciously before replying, I do, sir.
The brigadier turned his back on them, waving a hand dismissively in their direction. Then be gone.

United Jewish Appeal of Greater Toronto Honours Brian Williams
CTV/TSN broadcaster joined by Dan Shulman, Elliotte Friedman at UJA's Sports Night
By: Daniel Horowitz
The enthusiastic crowd, which braved freezing rain to be part of this important evening, were entertained by the troika's uncanny sports knowledge, and even had the chance to try and stump them with their own sports trivia questions.
Part of UJA's Sports Night, which featured a panel of sports experts including Williams, ESPN's Dan Shulman, and Elliotte Friedman of CBC's Hockey Night in Canada fame, the highlight of the evening was an award presented to William's for his moral stand that saw him announce, live on the air, his displeasure with the IOC's decision not to hold a moment of silence for the Munich 11 during the opening ceremonies of this year's London Games.This year's Olympics marked the 40th anniversary of the murder of 11 Israeli Olympians by Palestinian terrorists at the Munich games.
"I'm a bit embarrassed to be honoured for doing what is simply the right thing," an emotional Williams told those in attendance. "My 97-year-old father has a great expression, 'The hottest places in hell are reserved for those who, in times of crisis, remain neutral.' And for me, this is a crisis. The Olympics are supposed to be about integrity, sportsmanship, fair play. Ignoring any remembrance of the slaying of – and I used the word slaughter on the air – of Israeli athletes is anything but fair. I remember when the Georgian luger had been killed in a horrific accident up at Whistler, during the 2010 Winter Games in Vancouver. As they should have, they held a moment of silence for this lone luger. It was absolutely the right thing to do. But, when you do that and refuse to honour the 11 slain athletes and coaches, something is very wrong. To me, the fact that they were ignored is because they were Israeli, and to me, a Roman Catholic, it was important for a non-Jew to take a moral stand. I'm honoured to be here tonight, and I'm honoured that you remember me, but more importantly we must all, whatever our religion, and whatever our beliefs, we must always remember the Israeli athletes and coaches who were slaughtered,"
Another highlight of the evening were the heartfelt, appreciative words of Larry Tanenbaum, the Chairman of Maple Leafs Sports & Entertainment, who, unable to attend, sent his thoughts via video.
"It is appropriate that, as we stand in the light of the Chanukah menorah, we honour this man who shed light on this travesty, and, who helped ensure that the horrors of Munich will never be forgotten," said Mr. Tanenbaum. "If you're like me, you took a tremendous amount of pride in Brian's principled stand, a stand which, in keeping with the highest ideals of the Olympic tradition, also illustrated perfectly, the stark moral contrast with that taken by the IOC. Brian's inspirational and courageous public stand was a jarring and powerful moment of broadcasting, wedged in juxtaposition to the light and entertaining fare that preceded it and followed it."
The event, which took place at the new Leo and Sala Goldhar Celebration Centre, Shirley Auslander Hall, on Vaughan's Joseph and Wolf Lebovic Jewish Community Campus, highlighted the work of UJA's Annual Campaign 2013, chaired by Sarena Koschitzky and Bruce Leboff who spoke about the importance of holding a major UJA event in York Region.

Perry scores winner after missed trip in OT
By: Adam Gretz
Seeing as how there were only three penalties called during Wednesday's Anaheim-Carolina game, a 4-3 Ducks win in overtime, it's not much of a surprise that Corey Perry tripping Jussi Jokinen behind the net, resulting in the turnover that led to the game-winning goal, was missed by referees Tim Peel and Don VanMassenhoven
Or perhaps ignored is more like it.
It's no secret that drawing a penalty in overtime is a difficult task, especially as the NHL continues to hand out fewer power plays per game than it has in over a decade, but that is an obvious trip that needs to be called. The fact it's a play that resulted in a game-winning goal makes it even more noticeable, even if it involved two teams that aren't likely to be a major factor in the playoff race the rest of the season.

Video: Flames' Jones slashes Selanne in face
Teemu Selanne continues to amaze the league at 41 years old this season for the Anaheim Ducks. His speed hasn't slowed and neither has his scoring pace.
Calgary Flames center Blair Jones tried a new approach to slowing down Selanne in the second period of their contest on Monday night, by slashing Selanne in the face.
You don't just slash Selanne in the face and get away with it. Of course Jones was sent to the sin bin for four minutes on the double minor and he could likely be getting a little more attention from the league.
To be clear, it in no way appeared to be intentional from Jones, but he hit Selanne in the face, and he hit him pretty hard. He was clearly disgusted with himself after the play, enough to signal to me that he was repentant.
But Brendan Shanahan has shown that he will still call on guys who are reckless with their stick. Intentional or not, you have to be responsible for your stick at all times.
It was made very clear earlier this season when Minnesota Wild forward Pierre-Marc Bouchard was suspended two games for a slash that was even more obviously unintentional than the Jones-Selanne hit.
Besides, that's no way to treat a legend like Selanne.

Ducks believe in miracles, their shirts show it
The Anaheim Ducks' answer is Yes!
Not long ago, the Ducks were playing so poorly that their general manager Bob Murray first fired well-respected head coach Randy Carlyle then threatened to trade anybody not named Saku Koivu or Teemu Selanne. The most discussed player was Bobby Ryan.
Since then, the Ducks have been one of the hottest teams in the league. They recently went through an 8-1-1 stretch. Still, they are 10 points behind the Minnesota Wild for the last playoff spot with four more teams between them.
You'd have better odds fielding an Olympic hockey team from Brazil than you would the Ducks do of making the playoffs. Too extreme? OK, I'll just go with what Orange County Register columnist Jeff Miller who compared the Ducks' chances of making the playoffs to Ron Paul earning the Republican presidential nomination.
But don't tell the players who, as plainly seen above, still believe.
Don't get your hopes up, fans. Oh sure, you can hope all you want they pull of a miracle down there in Disney land that could inspire the next Mighty Ducks movie. I'm referring to the getting your hands on the shirt. Sorry, it's only for the players. Because, you know, they have to make sure everybody knows they believe, maybe they'll convince themselves it can happen.

NHL skills contest results, highlights
By: Adam Gretz
The NHL wrapped up its Super Skills competition on Saturday night with Daniel Alfredsson's team, loaded with all of the hometown Ottawa Senators, picking up the overall win by a 21-12 margin. Below is the complete list of winners in all of the invidual events, including Patrick Kane in the Breakaway challenge and Zdeno Chara taking home yet another championship (and record) in the hardest shot contest, as well as some of the highlights (and lowlights) from the night.
Zdeno Chara makes the hardest shot contest the must-see event: I understand what the NHL is trying to do with the breakaway challenge (it's basically the Slam Dunk contest, in hockey form) and at times on Saturday night it was the highlight of the night, whether it was Kane putting on the Superman cape, Anaheim's Corey Perry busting out the knee-hockey stick and using it to score a goal, or Montreal's Carey Price stopping a shot with his back turned to the shooter. Great stuff.
But the must-see event, at least as long as Chara is taking part in it, remains the hardest shot contest, If for no other reason than to watch in amazement at the freakish speeds these guys can fire a piece of frozen rubber across the ice. Watching Chara in this event right now is like watching a home run hitter get himself in a rhythm and hit one titanic fly ball after another in a home run derby.
At this point it's his event, and everybody else is just taking part in it for his amusement. Even Shea Weber, a guy that hit 106 on the radar gun Saturday night, couldn't get near him. Chara has won the event five years in a row, and not only does he keep winning, but his shots keep getting faster and faster, and he keeps shattering his own records.
It's worth asking if 110 MPH is in play next season in Columbus. I wouldn't bet against it.
Change that wasn't an improvement: The NHL used a new format for the fastest skater contest this season, having the players line up side by side, skate in a straight line down the ice, make a narrow, short turn, and then head back in the opposite direction. In years past the players would simply skate all the way around the ice, the complete length of the rink, making it easier to compare players and their times from year-to-year. The new approach almost seemed to slow the players down because it didn't give them enough of a chance to really show what they can do speed-wise.
On a positive note, for the second year in a row goalies competed in one of the rounds, with Los Angeles' Jonathan Quick blowing away Detroit's Jimmy Howard. And yes, they have to skate with all of their equipment on, which definitely adds a bit of unintentional humor.
Fortunately for the two keepers this year neither one of them took a spill in the corner like Boston's Tim Thomas did last season.
Event that doesn't seem to work: The Skills Challenge relay. Dump it. It's basically a giant obstacle course that involves just about every skater on the two team's taking part in a series of events, including passing, one-timers, shot accuracy and puck control. Unfortunately, it just doesn't seem to work or generate much excitement.
It's by far the longest event from start to finish, taking nearly two-and-a-half minutes for one team to complete the course, and it seems to suck a lot of the life out of the crowd.
Helmet camera's are always cool: St. Louis Blues goalie Brian Elliott, who received a nice ovation from the Ottawa fans as one of the many former (and current) Senators to play in the game, had a helmet cam throughout the night -- along with Howard -- to give a first-person look at some of the events. That included during the breakaway challenge when Elliott was in the cage attempting to stop Kane's slapshot with what turned out to be a trick puck that broke into four pieces on its way to the net.
Of course, given the way that Elliott is playing this season for the Blues it's not much of a surprise that none of the pieces ended up in the back of the net, while he even managed to glove one of them out of the air.

Players we would like to see in skills challenge
By: Adam Gretz
The video above features Mike Ribeiro of the Dallas Stars scoring an absolutely insane shootout goal against the Colorado Avalanche a couple of years ago. It's a pretty amazing goal, leaving then-Avs goalie Peter Budaj completely confused. Throughout his career, Ribeiro has made a habit out of scoring highlight reel goals during the regular season skills competition that is otherwise known as the shootout.
He seems like he would be the type of player that would excel in the All-Star skills competition, particularly any of the breakaway challenges. But because he's not an All-Star this year, we don't get an opportunity to see what he's fully capable of when the spotlight is on. The NBA brings in players that aren't on the All-Star rosters to take part in their skills competition, and I wouldn't mind seeing the NHL try something similar.
With that in mind, let's take a quick look at some of the players not in the All-Star game this season that could be favorites to win the various events, or at the very least, put up a solid showing.
Fastest Skater
1. Darren Helm, Detroit Red Wings
2. Andrew Cogliano, Anaheim Ducks
3. Mason Raymond, Vancouver Canucks
Cogliano has actually already won this event, taking it back in 2009 with a time of 14.31 seconds, but I would put Helm up against any other skater in the league in terms of pure speed. He doesn't score much, but everything he does on the ice, including his penalty killing, seems to be a complete blur.
Accuracy Shooting
1. Ilya Kovalchuk, New Jersey Devils
2. Alexander Semin, Washington Capitals
3. Thomas Vanek, Buffalo Sabres
Kind of a tough one to figure out, and it's not as easy as simply looking at a players shooting percentage because that doesn't necessarily mean a player with a high number is an "accurate" shooter, but Kovalchuk and Semin are obvious snipers that can pick their spots and hit the corners from anywhere in the offensive zone.
Hardest Shot
1. Sami Salo, Vancouver Canucks
2. Jason Garrison, Florida Panthers
3. Sheldon Souray, Dallas Stars
Jason Garrison has more goals than any other defenseman in the NHL this season with 13, and eight of them have come by way of his booming slap shot, more than any other player in the league. I don't know if he has what it takes to challenge Zdeno Chara or Shea Weber, but I imagine he could put up some impressive numbers, and the same could be said for Salo. At the Canucks team skills competition earlier this week he hit 102 MPH, which would have been harder than any other participant in last year's event with the exception of Chara and Weber.
Breakaway Challenge
1. Mike Riberio, Dallas Stars
2. Todd Bertuzzi, Detroit Red Wings
3. Rick Nash, Columbus Blue Jackets
We already addressed what Riberio can bring to the table, but when the Red Wings are involved in a shootout they tend to be quality entertainment, not only because of the presence of Pavel Datsyuk, always a human highlight reel, but also because of Todd Bertuzzi, who has some pretty underrated skill. It's not uncommon to see him bust out the spin-o-rama move, but he has quite a few additional tricks up his sleeve as well. And don't underestimate the skill and hands that Rick Nash has for a big, power forward.
Any other players that didn't participate this season that you would like to see?

Ducks re-sign Beauchemin for three seasons
It wasn't long ago that Anaheim Ducks general manager Bob Murray declared that everybody on his roster save for Teemu Selanne and Saku Koivu could be had in trade conversation.
You can add defenseman Francois Beauchemin to that do not move list.
The Ducks announced they re-signed the 31-year-old defenseman to a three-year contract on Friday. The Ducks didn't release the salary numbers, but multiple outlets did, including Eric Stephen of the Orange County Register. The contract calls for $10.5 million spread evenly across the three seasons.
"Francois is a dedicated, versatile and hard-working defenseman who is committed to our organization," Murray said. "We are extremely pleased to have him under contract for the next three years."
Beauchemin came to Anaheim a little less than a year ago in a trade that is looking more and more lopsided by the day for the Ducks. Not to say that Beauchemin has been a bust in Anaheim -- clearly he hasn't if they are extending him -- but the return package of Joffrey Lupul and Jake Gardiner.
This season for the Ducks Beauchemin has six goals and 12 assists while carrying a plus-1 for a team that has struggled for virtually the entire season.
What's interesting is that this is Beauchemin's second stint in Anaheim and he left to Toronto via free agency. This time he was willing to ink a deal to remain with the Ducks.
It's all in all a pretty good contract for the Ducks, not a terrible cap hit to pay for Beauchemin. But more importantly it says a lot about the Ducks and what management thinks about them.
It gives you the impression that Murray is willing to chalk this one up to a fluky bad season and that the team's recent 6-0-1 record is indicative of how good they can be. Remember, most every saw them as a playoff team this season.
Still, it doesn't mean they are all out of the woods yet. Looking at the defense, Beauchemin might be under a new deal but Lubomir Visnovsky could still be available, if they can find any takers. He has seen his production take a major dive this year as he turned 35 while still under a $5.6 million per year contract through next season. Visnovsky has just 15 points this season after totalling 68 just last season.

Weekend Preview: Rangers and Bruins finally meet
Weekend Schedules: Friday | Saturday | Sunday
Thanks to the scheduling quirks of the NHL, it has taken us until the end of January to get a dose of some real New York-Boston feuding in hockey. No offense to the Devils and the Islanders, but the city-to-city rivalry is reserved for pretty much only the Rangers against the Bruins.
This season, though, the wait has seemed even longer than it really has been. That's because of the little fact that for the first team in a long, long time, the Bruins and Rangers are the best two teams in the Eastern Conference.
There has been some bemoaning lately of the lack of rivalries in hockey. Well this isn't on par with Yankees-Red Sox in baseball, but there's always a little extra flair when it's New York vs. Boston. This one should have a lot of extra flair.
Nobody at this point will dispute the Rangers are one of the best teams in the league this season. You'd be foolish to try. But there are people, myself included, who are still wondering exactly how good are the Rangers? Well what better way to find out than to send them to the hornets' nest that is TD Garden in Boston to face the defending champs?
Although it's too bad we could have had this game a week or so ago. By their standards this season, each of these teams has lost some steam going into the game. The Bruins are only 6-4-0 in their last 10 (gasp!) while the Rangers just slightly better at 7-3-0. I laugh about it a little but it was just in the last two weeks that each of these teams had won nine of 10 games.
One of the tricks for each of the coaches is to find ways to keep pushing their guys in the middle of the season, particularly when you've had as much success as these two Original Six squads have. Sometimes that can be as simple as finding a bear to poke (pun clearly intended).
Bruins coach Claude Julien took his poking stick to the midsection of Nathan Horton this week on the Bruins' recent road trip.
"Horton has got to pick up his game. No ifs or buts about it," Julien said after the shootout win at Florida. "A guy his size needs to get more physically involved. He needs to compete a lot harder. He's skating hard, you can see it on the backcheck ... but we need more from him. When he's emotionally engaged, he scores goals and he's a difference-maker. He's got to find his game. We're at the point where we're a little shorthanded and we need him to step up."
Horton responded by scoring twice in the loss to the Lightning and then one more in the win on Thursday night against the Devils. That might be mission: accomplished.
It looks like Rangers coach John Tortorella has his own target to try and prod.
Brad Richards was the star they brought to New York this summer to give Marian Gaborik that other scoring threat and finally give Henrik Lundqvist some much-deserved support. In that regard, Richards has been alright. But that's it.
In 45 games he has 15 goals and 16 assists for 31 points while carrying a minus-3. That stat still means very little, plus/minus, but on a team like the Rangers, it's tough to be negative. He and Ruslan Fedotenko are the only players on the team with more than 10 games played that are in the red.
Going into the game against the Bruins, Richards hasn't tallied a single point in the last six games. Obviously that's not very good, particularly for a guy making $6.7 million per season.
While Tortorella didn't go anywhere close to the level of criticism that Julien did with Horton, he at least made it known that Richards needs to step up some. From Ranger Rants:
Coach John Tortorella said he didn't want to analyze individual performances after the game when asked specifically about Staal and Brad Richards. But he acknowledged that Richards' game wasn't spot on right now (he was a minus-1 in 16:46 though he won 12 of 16 faceoffs).
If the Rangers can get a point-per-game pace out of Richards like he has been doing for most of the past few seasons, then watch out.
This will be the first of four matchups between the foes this season and each will very likely go a long way in determining who gets home-ice advantage throughout the Eastern Conference playoffs.
If that leaves you wanting more ...
... Then you'll get it. There is no better way to spend Saturday if you're a hockey fan than to tune in to the NHL Network. Once that Rangers-Bruins tilt is done it's on to the next, but it takes no backseat to the first game.
The Vancouver Canucks seem to have a lot of rivalries these days. We all know about their ongoing feud with the Bruins, they have a fierce battle with the Chicago Blackhawks and pretty much any team from Canada.
But don't forget about their rivals to the south in San Jose, too. They've had some damn good playoff battles as well, including that Western Conference final matchup a season ago where Kevin Bieksa was the only person on the ice who knew what the heck was going on.
The Sharks are an interesting team to me. Perhaps it's a situation of just getting used to it, being desensitized to them, but once again they are right there in the race for the Presidents' Trophy this season. Remember, they have games in hand on every single Western Conference team.
Yet they are just quietly trudging along on the West Coast. It's expected from them now to be honest. That's a great compliment to give to the ownership and front office in San Jose.
Unlike the Eastern powers mentioned above, these Western heavies have already met three times this season, so when they dance on Saturday night in Vancouver, it's the last time they'll see each other until next season. Unless ...
Hot, hot, hot!
The Ottawa Senators are 12-2-2 since Kyle Turris came to town. They are in the midst of a very challenging road trip to the West Coast, starting it off with a win on Thursday in San Jose.
When they looked at the itinerary for the road trip, they had to look at the Saturday visit to Anaheim as a little bit of a reprieve on the tough trip. Not anymore.
It took a while, but Bruce Boudreau is seeing the Ducks play the way we all thought they would this season. All of a sudden, these are the two hottest teams in the NHL (what?!?). The Ducks are 6-0-1 in their last seven games in their own right.
It's likely well past the time for them to get back into the playoff picture. Even with these 13 points in seven games, they are still 13 points behind Colorado for the eighth spot in the West. What a really strong finish can do, though, is affect the way general manager Bob Murray views his team and thus how much of a seller the Ducks will be at the Feb. 27 trade deadline.
In the meantime, each of the Sens and Ducks gets a heat check in one of the few places in either the USA or Canada that it's actually warm right now, Southern California.
Familiar foes
Friday night will feature some old friends facing off as the Florida Blackhawks visit the Chicago Panthers. Wait ...
Since Dale Tallon took over in Florida as general manager, the Panthers have taken on quite a strong feeling of the Blackhawks. They currently carry five former players from Chicago: John Madden, Brian Campbell, Kris Versteeg, Tomas Kopecky and Jack Skille. Of them, only Skille wasn't a contributor to the Stanley Cup a couple of seasons ago.
To make that happen obviously Tallon had to send some of his Panthers players to GM Stan Bowman in Chicago. It's not as strong the other way but the Blackhawks currently employ former Panthers Michal Frolik, Steve Montador and have Rostislav Olesz and Alexander Salak in the system.
But the player to watch in this battle? How about Andrew Shaw, who is quickly making a big name for himself in Chicago. The 20-year-old forward who was a fifth-round pick by the 'Hawks has five points in the last four games on the strength of a goal in each game. That's led to the Twitter hashtag of #ShawFacts where fans have taken their best Chuck Norris jokes and tailored them for Shaw.
Something else worth watching: With weather conditions as bad as they are in Chicago this weekend, will the Panthers have any problems getting out of town and into Winnipeg in time for their game Saturday against the Jets?
Speak of old friends ...
What would the Tampa Bay Lightning give to have the summer over and keep Mike Smith instead of Dwayne Roloson?
The Bolts will get the chance to see firsthand what has happened to Smith since he moved to the desert this offseason. For those not in the know, what has happened is that he has become a quality starting goaltender for the Coyotes.
The Lightning are giving up more goals than any team in the league. Don't you think Smith and his 2.41 goals against average would be handy in Tampa Bay this season?
Then again, it probably wouldn't be too much different if the defenders in front of Smith were playing the same/as injured as they are in front of Roloson and Mathieu Garon.
Fun doesn't stop Saturday
On Sunday there is a nice pair of battles for matinee games in the Eastern Conference.
The Bruins will take on another one of the I-95 corridor powers in the Philadelphia Flyers while the Pittsburgh Penguins will host the Washington Capitals for their final bout this season. It might be a bit watered down without Sidney Crosby playing, but it's still worth watching.
Both games are worth it, so get ready to wear out the "last" button on your remote.
We're going streaking!
A look at the winning and losing streaks heading into the weekend.
Penguins: Remember how they just lost six in a row? This is how you rebound from that. The Pens take a four-game winning streak into Friday night's game against the Canadiens before the game against the Caps.
Detroit Red Wings: For the moment, they have taken the lead in the Central Division, which is an unbelievable race this season. Their five straight wins will be put on the line Saturday vs. the Blue Jackets.
St. Louis Blues: They are doing what they can to keep pace with the Red Wings and Blackhawks, and they're doing it just fine. They ride a three-game run into a home game against the Sabres, losers of 10 straight on the road.
Buffalo Sabres: As just mentioned, 10 straight road losses, four in a row overall. Only the one chance in St. Louis to snap it this weekend.
Panthers: They haven't won a game in their last three chances but they have picked up points in two of those three. The double dip this weekend is at Chicago and at Winnipeg.
Minnesota Wild: The ship keeps on sinking. Remember when they were first in the NHL? I hardly do either. Four straight losses and Dallas on tap this weekend.
Dallas Stars: Misery loves company, I suppose. Dallas brings its own losing streak of three games into the weekend, but they get Tampa Bay before facing the Wild.For more hockey news, rumors and analysis, follow @EyeOnHockey and @BrianStubitsNHL on Twitter.

Ducks' Jacques gets three games; Beauchemin none
Jean-Francois Jacques hasn't spent a lot of time with the Anaheim Ducks this season. WHen he has, he's caught the eye of Brendan Shanahan. Twice.
The Ducks forward was suspended for three games on Monday by Shanahan for his hit to the head of the Columbus Blue Jackets forward R.J. Umberger after the latter released a shot from the slot.
As usual, here's Shanahan's video explaining it.
This video has a lot of the same verbage we've heard from Shanny this season. Going into the slot, Umberger can expect a good check, but should not expect one to the head and in this case that was the principal point of contact.
"J.F. hit a player that was vulnerable after shooting the puck, and he needs to be more aware in those situations," Ducks GM Bob Murray said. "We accept the league's ruling and will move forward."
Leading to part of the three-game punishment is the fact that Jacques was handed a suspension in the preseason too.
That was just the first of two hearings on the day for Ducks players. The one a bit more concerning to Ducks fans was a hearing for defenseman Francois Beauchemin for his hit that left Jeff Carter with a separated shoulder.
Shanahan elected to come down with no additional punishment for Beauchemin, be it a suspension or a fine. That's the good news in it all for Anaheim.

Contagion and the European debt crisis
The financial and economic crisis that started in August 2007 is a clear case of the materialisation and propagation of systemic risk. The banking crisis reached a climax in September 2008 with the demise of Lehman Brothers and the subsequent support to the financial system. In spring 2010, it turned into a sovereign debt crisis. Widespread instabilities repeatedly reached new heights since the summer of 2011. This article addresses a phenomenon which is at the very centre of what we are experiencing in the euro area, the phenomenon of contagion. Contagion is one of the mechanisms by which financial instability becomes so widespread that a crisis reaches systemic dimensions. The article argues that contagion phenomena play a crucial role in exacerbating the sovereign debt problems in the euro area. As a consequence, crisis management by all competent authorities should focus on the policy measures that are able to contain and mitigate contagion. Several of the European Central Bank's (ECB) interventions have been motivated by the need to address contagion.

An early look at our mobile development
At the Code Control Festival in Leicester England this past weekend we gave attendees an advance peek at some of our mobile projects. Sam Tarakajian, our principal mobile developer, showed a new iPad app, the Mira controller for Max, that makes it possible, with as close to zero configuration as possible, to make your patch "touchable." Mira presents a large set of Max user interface elements on the iPad exactly as they appear in your patch. It also provides access to multitouch and accelerometer data. We'll be revealing more of this powerful addition to the Max universe as we prepare it for release in the app store later this spring.
As a possible companion to Mira, I revealed a new "hardware" project dubbed the MiraBox — in reality, nothing more than an 8 x 10 wooden picture frame stuffed with foam — that helps capture accelerometer and gyro data from the iPad. The software component of the project was prototyped entirely with Mira and Max 6. Like many others we're interested in extracting higher-level gestures from accelerometer sensors, but in particular, we're interested in tracking data when you touch your patch.
arrr great.. cant wait for it!
will it be just a frontend? or also possible to patch on the pad?
Mark Strauss
Very interesting. Will this be applicable to Max For Live patches as well, or just standalone?
Julian Vogels
What will be the big difference to existing Apps like C74 or TouchOSC? Is Mira just an alternative, but similar approach or does it comprise new GUI elements that were never seen before?
Good ideas, but I have approximately zero interest in buying an iPad. What about Android devices?
We have approximately zero interest in your choice of tablet OS.
There's more that one person here with zero interest in the iPad. How about a civil answer about Android?
Hi everyone. Some great questions, and we're super excited to see that you guys are interested in Mira. For now, we're not ready to reveal any further information about the product, except that you can expect the first release to be in the next few months. We hope you'll stay tuned as we finish up and give you more detailed info when we're ready. Thanks!
Victoria Sog
Thank you for interestinf news, but can yoy tekk whaen exactly the Mira app will be released, or at least where to check for it. i for sure don;t want to miss it and hope to be among the first to try!
"Good ideas, but I have approximately zero interest in buying an iPad. What about Android devices?" – I know it sucks that there are so few good music apps available for Android, but it's almost entirely a technical issue with Android devices that caused this state of affairs. The latency on Android devices is comically bad. It's so bad that there is no point in trying to make an interactive music instrument, which needs an audio frame rate of about 200hz for 44.1khz audio (roughly 5ms latency though this is mostly important to keep jitter down under this threshold, contrast this to a mere 30hz frame rate for video). Then you need to add touch latency/jitter as well. This is why there is such a good selection of music apps on iOS – they haven't goofed this critical, critical thing. Mobile devices ARE real-time signal processors – and iOS started out its life as an audio player from the first day, they didn't start out as throughput-oriented servers (which trade latency for throughput) scaled down to fit on a phone.
As on a stage when Max was ported to Windows, it was mentioned, that it should be easier to port Max to Linux than to Windows, I'd wonder if the whole Max application can be ported to Android, which is a Linux derivate. Tablets and smartphones are now available with speeds comparable to lets say an old Powerbook. I had an early version of my monster patch running on those. Thats plenty of possibilities already…
The moment a Linux version of Max is available, I'd happily install Linux on my Macbook Air and let go OS X for ever…
The future is about freedom, Microsoft and Apple will need most likely a decade more to recognize it, (as the still suck out profitably those part of the world which don't know much about freedom). The moment they will realize it, its too late…;-)
You can even talk out loud as many subversive ideas as you have, the world of "deals and finances" is completely blind in that area…)
As artists we should work hard to change this world…
Great news,
Spring is coming to is end. Is there a date ?
Best regards
Another interested Android user here… is there any chance? thank you.
Any more info on this project?
Yes, Android please. Mira doesn't seem to be an audio application so Android's inherently bad audio latency isn't a problem at all in this case. Touch wise they perform flawless on today's top and middle end models so there's no excuse if you want to earn some money and listen to more of your user base.
Still no news for an Android version?
i dont really know sometimes im expecting the mobile version of max or a kind of connections that coding for the mobile devices, but should I look a little further that mobile OS maybe merge together with traditional equipment ?
but now i have to try to adapt the "mobile platform" .
and can max auto build apps for running on different OS ?
