Rheem Water Heating has broadened its complete line of power direct vent (PDV), tank-type water heaters to include 65-gallon and 75-gallon models to meet the high-volume needs of larger residential applications, including homes with four or more bathrooms or that use whirlpool tubs and hot tubs. The two new platforms have Btuh inputs of 65,000 and 75,100, respectively, and offer products with an Energy Factor (EF) of 0.62.
As with the rest of the full-line offering, the new products are designed to meet the rigorous demands of today's tightly constructed homes that seek to maximize both energy savings and air quality. These water heaters draw all the air needed for combustion directly from outside the home through less costly PVC, CPVC or ABS piping. The by-product gases of that combustion process are vented to the exterior with the use of a blower through a second pipe run, also made of plastic.
The two most popular models in the Rheem PDV offering – the 40- and 50-gallon units with standard inputs – meet the new, phase two Energy Star®criteria that require a minimum EF of 0.67. Effective September 1, the new efficiency target from the Department of Energy is 15.5 percent higher than the current federal standard and should result "in annual savings of 14 percent and $51 for a single high-performance gas storage water heater," according to a DOE announcement.
Depending on the locale, our full line of power direct vent units can offer a twin payback in the form of lower energy costs plus the rebates many utilities around the country now offer home owners," says Rheem senior product manager Brad Johnson.
Why select PDV? PDV technology meets two critical demands of the modern home: the drive to increase energy efficiency and the need to avoid performance-degrading, negative air pressure conditions:
• Better energy efficiency: By drawing makeup air directly from the outdoors, Rheem PDV Water Heaters do not use inside air that has been heated or cooled for comfort purposes. "A water heater that uses inside air is, in effect, wasting the energy that was expended to heat or cool that air," explains Johnson. "Builders and remodelers looking to maximize energy savings eliminate that waste by opting for a power direct vent water heating solution."
• No negative air pressure problems: In tightly constructed modern homes with little or no air infiltration from the outside, gas appliances may not have enough interior air for proper combustion. This condition, known as "negative air pressure," can undermine appliance performance and efficiency. By drawing all their air from the outdoors, Rheem PDV Water Heaters avoid this problem and the performance shortfalls that often result.
Two additional benefits with these new water heaters are placement flexibility and lower installation costs through the use of plastic pipe for venting. Conventional atmospheric, gas-fired water heaters vent combustion emissions through vertical pipe runs. Metallic b-vent material four to six inches in diameter must be used because of the high temperature of the emissions. As a result, these water heaters are typically placed inside a home's chimney, narrowing installation options.
With power vent technology, the blower that exhausts the by-products of combustion also cools these gases, allowing the use of less expensive, smaller-diameter plastic piping instead of b-vent. The blower also permits horizontal as well as vertical venting configurations, with pipe runs as long as 100 feet. See Venting Distance Chart below:
This extraordinary venting flexibility allows the builder, remodeler or installing contractor to locate a PDV water heater just about anywhere in the home, drawing combustion air and venting emissions safely and effectively over many feet, while bolstering the home's energy efficiency and air quality," says Johnson.
All five Rheem PDV Water Heaters carry a six-year limited warranty on the storage tank and a six-year limited warranty on all parts.

Our Canada Geese Story
Our entire story begins with the Canada geese. Without these majestic creatures that proved birds can learn a migration route, we wouldn't have a story.
Since childhood, co-founder Bill Lishman dreamed of flying with birds. He got closer to his dream as a grown-up, when he became an avid ultralight aviator. Then, one fateful night he and his family traveled to Toronto to see the IMAX film, "Skyward." As Lishman watched the geese in the film follow a boat, he wondered if they would also follow an airplane?
The film's animal trainer, William Carrick, had the answer Lishman wanted. With Carrick's help, Lishman began working with the geese since, as non-endangered species, they posed fewer technical and environmental risks.
And the rest, literally, was history. In 1988, Lishman lead 12 geese on local flights. Then, in 1993, he and partner Joseph Duff helped 18 geese migrate from Ontario to Virginia.
Reaching his childhood dream gave Lishman a new focus. He and Duff formed Operation Migration for another dream: to save endangered species by introducing safe migratory routes.

Rare Ines Di Santo French lace dress. I shopped around in New York city, Toronto, Montreal, and Ottawa, and went to virtually every wedding dress store.

The 49ers announced on Tuesday afternoon that team president Gideon Yu has stepped from his role. The long-time team executive Paraag Marathe will be promoted to team president in his place.
In another corresponding move Al Guido, who worked intimately with the 49ers and the Santa Clara Stadium Authority as the Senior Vice President of Global Sales for Legends, will take Marathe's role as the team's Chief Operating Officer.
San Francisco 49ers CEO Jed York said the following statement on Yu stepping down:
"As we move closer to the opening of Levi's® Stadium, our organization will continue to evolve and grow. Gideon, Paraag and Al have been instrumental in making the new stadium a reality, and I couldn't be more excited about the future of our management team and the 49ers organization. Paraag and Al have developed a tremendous working relationship and I am deeply confident in their leadership."
Yu himself also tweeted that he is stepping down and said he will still be with the team. He also tweeted towards York with the following statement:
"Thanks to @JedYork for entrusting me to complete your stadium project. Looking fwd to many more years together as 49ers' co-owners!"
Yu was in charge of all business, financial and strategic operations for the 49ers. He also played one of the most major roles in pushing for Levi's® Stadium to become a reality. While it was initially planned to be ready for 2015, Yu was a key person to have the billion-dollar stadium open for the 2014 season.

Cheney's volleyball team wrapped up a fourth-place finish in the Great Northern League by winning two of its final three matches last week.
The Lady Hawks played well and showed potential for advancing in the coming postseason with 3-1 wins over West Valley last Tuesday in the home finale – Senior Night – and at Clarkston Thursday. The lone loss came in the final match of the season Saturday at Pullman, a 3-0 setback that head coach Brianne Lowe said was disappointing given Cheney's earlier five-set loss to the third-seeded Greyhounds.

Re: Chp 13 Discharge Process
OhioChick wrote:
Hi luvmeirahbug, I hope to be getting my discharge letter soon. My last payments were sent out by my trustee 1 Sep 12, so as of that date, my balance due was $0.00. My attorney and trustee told me that I have to keep making my monthly payments until I receive my letter. I waited until the last minute to send in the Sep payment, which I mailed last week. As of right now I have a balance on hand of $1300, which I will get back, but I really don't have an extra $465 per month for the next however long it takes them to close out my account. Frustrating. The trustee in Ohio said 3-4 months. One of my freinds said to consider it a Christmas club and cross my fingers I get it back before the end of the year. I hate waiting....
that makes no sense....some states really do what they want--no matter how unfair the practice is. I received another letter from the trustee stating my plan has been completed and the payments are complete pending auditing of my case. I am not required to keep paying until I receive my discharge paperwork. I'm sorry you have to go through that, OhioChick.

Around 8 years ago customer demand for a web interface to our help desk software led us to develop a very basic classic ASP solution. The solution allowed end-users to submit help desk requests through a web page. The main problem was that the web interface didn't measure up to our development standards. It did what it was supposed to do but the interface was static, had an outdated look, and the user interaction was quite different than that of the Mouse Tracks Windows client (primary tool that the Help Desk technicians use).

The Osaka city and prefectural elections have been called. Hashimoto is the new mayor, and Matsui, from Hashimotos Isshin no Kai party, looks to become the new prefectural governor. Hashimoto is on track on his plans to unite Osaka city and Sakai city to the south.
And with about 2/3rds of the voters approving this plan it seems it may actually become reality. He still needs support in Sakai as well, and ultimately approval from the central government; this is where popular support for that plan specifically can make a real difference. He's nothing if not a doer — things will undoubtedly be rather interesting around here the next few years. Good interesting or bad is the question.

It's autumn at last. Cool, clear weather; leaves are turning color; Uniqlo is filled with shoppers looking for warm underwear in anticipation of the winter electricity rationing. Not much time to enjoy it this year, though. This time of year always seems to be the busiest as everybody pushes to get things done before the year-end holidays. And this is the last year for this project to there's plenty of extra pressure to get as much definite results as possible out the door in time for project reviews and final reports.
Speaking of autumn: We sometimes drink hot, sweet, spicy wine in Sweden around Christmas. Warm rice wine is moderately popular here in Japan and something I really enjoy. Shōchū or Awamori cut with hot water is another good drink for cold days or chilly evenings. A new variation to me is umeshu and hot water. Very strong, full sweet flavour and it really heats you up. You feel every sip right out to your fingertips; it's like having a portable heater installed in your stomach. Try it.
And on a scientific note, I posted on G+ the other day about a small Youtube film showing just how bad P-values really are for estimating the quality of experimental results. Check it out here. It's well worth seeing.

The Comfort Principle
Here's a neat way to think about things: spend your resources where you spend your time. He calls it "the comfort principle".
So, if you — like me — spend much of your day in front of your computer, then don't be afraid so spend money to get a really good one that will give you a minimal amount of problems and frustrations. I rarely listen to music on the other hand, so it would make little sense for me to get an expensive pair of speakers. And it'd make no sense at all for me to get a worse computer in order to get better speakers. Somebody who always listens to music and uses a computer only occasionally may take the opposite choice.
Of course, you have to look at the larger picture and be sure you're not optimizing the wrong thing. The author takes an office chair as an example: better to get a good, comfortable chair than a cheap one if you're going to sit all day. But what if you chose not to sit all day long instead? A cheap chair and a desk that lets you stand may be better still. And instead of a really good laptop, what I need is perhaps a job that doesn't put me in front of a computer every waking moment?
This thinking doesn't just apply to buying stuff. I have a belt. It's a very nice, brown leather belt with a plain metal buckle that I got for my birthday from Ritsuko some years ago. It's sturdy and simple, and it looks good with any clothes I have. I like it very much.
However, the buckle always, inevitably sets off the airport scanner alarms. Whenever I fly I have to remove the belt and put it on the conveyor belt. And as I've been losing weight I really need a belt to hold my pants up. I stand there in front of the X-ray scanner, juggling belt, computer, phone, change, keys and carry-on bag with one hand while clutching at my jeans with the other. I'd drop something on the floor and scramble to pick it up while the people in line behind me start becoming restless. It's just a matter of time before I screw up and literally drop my pants in public.
So why do I use that belt on travel then? It's the comfort principle. I spend a total of, oh, five minutes or so per round trip valiantly trying to avoid a wardrobe malfunction in security. I spend around 3000 minutes of a three-day trip with my belt securely holding my clothes in place, and looking damn good doing so. I'd much rather optimize my wardrobe for the 3000 minutes of my trip than for the five minutes I spend in security.
If you see somebody obviously ill-dressed or badly packed for the security control, remember that they're probably not stupid. They may just know how to prioritize right.

If you want to sell news, at least get it right
I've mentioned the worldwide drop in violence previously, and I've occasionally touched on the role of media in distorting the perception of violence, crime rates and the perception of risk in general.
Here is a fresh new example, from both Asahi Shimbun and Yomiuri Shimbun, based on a white paper from the ministry of justice1. They report that "40% recidivism rate among youths released from juvenile facilities". Repeat crime rate among all arrested minors have risen to almost 32%, and has been increasing for the past 14 years! In 2004 the total rate was only about 27%; it's risen 5 points, or almost 20% in these eight years! Panic! Mayhem! Blood on the streets! Mass Hysteria!! Cats and Dogs Living Together!!!
Except, well, not.
Take a look at the graph from Asahi (reproduced here, as newspaper links have a tendency to disappear):
See something interesting? The rate of repeat offences — the red graph at the top — have indeed gone up. But look at the dark blue bar at the bottom: the number of repeat offenders have dropped, from around 4 minors in 10000 in early 2000's down to about 2.7 minors last year. That's a drop of 30%! Let me say it again: the number of repeat juvenile offenders have dropped by a third in ten years. This is good news.
And look at the light blue bars, with total juvenile arrests: from around 14 per 10000 in 2000-2002 down to about 8.5 last year. That's a drop in arrested minors of 40%! So, the proportion of arrested repeat offenders have dropped, but the total number of arrests have dropped even more. That's how the repeat offender rate has been rising — not from any worsening trend, but from two good trends, with one improving even faster than the other.
That's nowhere to be found in the Asahi article though. Even with their own graph in plain view, the text discusses only the repeat offences and never mentions that the total rates are down, not up. Yomiuri notes in a single sentence that the total number of offences has been dropping, with no further comment or any attempt to connect it to the rate.
Why the alarmist treatment? One reason can be that a bad news angle sells more papers, and the editors are more interested in their sales numbers than in the accuracy of their reporting. That, or the reporters at both Asahi and Yomiuri are so innumerate that they do not even realize what these figures are telling them.
I've been interested in the Asahi online subscription, where you get the full paper online at another 1000 yen over the subscription we already have. I'd happily pay for factual, balanced, well-researched news, but shoddy pieces like this are putting me off the whole idea.
OK, so you're into photography. Like most of us, you download your pictures from your camera, or you scan your negatives, then process them on your computer. Nice. Fun. Convenient.
But frustrating. Why? Because of color. As in, the color you saw in the scene is not what you see on your computer screen, which is not what you see on your other computer screen or what people will see online or what you end up with from your printer.
Maiko at Shochikuza theatre in Osaka.
There's lots of reasons. Your camera doesn't really capture the "true" color (if you shoot negative film you know just how malleable "true" really is). A printer can't really reproduce all colors your camera can capture or your screen can show; it fudges things outrageously just to give you a vague impression of similarity.
But one frustrating reason is that your screen isn't neutral. Pretty much all screens have a color cast — they're bluish or reddish, or a green tint, or have some odd color shift between lighter and darker colors. And monitors change as they get older. The backlight changes color with age, and the screen pixel colors themselves can change with years of exposure.
So you carefully edit your pictures to look great on your computer. But if your screen is, say, a bit blue, then you will have added extra red to your pictures to compensate for that. They'll look reddish on other peoples screens, and come out red-tinted on your printer. Of course, their screens and your printer have color casts of their own, making things even worse.
You can't do much about other peoples screens. But at least you can do something about your own. Most image-related software today can handle "color profiles". That is, a file that describes how your monitor (or camera, or printer) handles color, and lets the software compensate for it. If you have a good color profile for your particular screen then your software can take it into account. Everything will look "right", that is neutral, as you work with it. It won't fix other peoples screens of course, but at least they get a nice, neutral, well-balanced image without color casts to begin with. It should look better, at least, if not great.
Still, at first glance it looks like a natural color image to most people, and some refuse to believe it's largely black and white until you explicitly cover up the colorized parts. Our brains see the hints of color and fills in the rest by itself.
How do you create a color profile? You use a "colorimeter" — a device that measures the color on a screen, or paper — together with software that takes the measurement and generates a color profile from it. There's a few such devices for sale out there like the Pantone Huey or X-Rite ColorMunki. They work well enough. But the software is not open source, so you're dependent on them to support you in the years ahead. If the company goes bust or they decide to discontinue support for newer OS version your expensive device ends up as a paperweight. They also typically work only on recent Macs or Windows machines.
Enter ColorHug. It's a colorimeter, built as open hardware (schematics and the firmware is available for you), and with open source software for Linux. It's a fair bit faster than other systems, and less expensive too. The developer is gearing up for a first production run, and has just announced an advance order program that gets you a unit at a discount in exchange for helping out with reporting bugs and issues.
This is very useful for Mac and Windows users too by the way. The software is for Linux, but the color profile files are the same for every operating system. You get a bootable CD with a Linux system, so you can boot the CD, calibrate your monitor, then use the profile in your own operating system with no problem. And of course, the client software is open source, so somebody is bound to port it to both Windows and Mac if there is enough interest.
I've sent in my preorder already. Interest seems huge, though, so I can only hope I'll actually get one.

Data collection and analysis app, anyone?
Here's a question for people doing data analysis and programming. I'm looking for a tool that I don't know if it exists:
I often find myself collecting data over time; temperature data, my weight, baking results, lots of stuff like that. I want to be able to very quickly, simply, add data on a daily or hourly basis and do my own exploratory analysis and visualisation. Normally I use a spreadsheet, or hack together a small script to deal with the data, but neither is very convenient.
- A spreadsheet lets you enter data as it comes in, but both data entry and analysis is clumsy and rudimentary, and you soon hit the wall in what you can do with it. Try to write a spreadsheet that correlates your data with the day of the week, for instance.
- Octave, R and tools like that are very powerful. But they're not really geared for this kind of simple daily data entry and presentation.They're really about analysing fixed data sets and don't do interactive data collection very well.
- One-off tools in Ruby or Python will do what I want of course, and in practice it takes less effort than doing this kind of interactive thing in Octave and the like. But it feels like I'm reinventing the wheel every single time.
I'm really looking for a tool somewhere between a completely open-ended scripting environment and a restrictive tool like as spreadsheet; Octave or R but geared towards interactive, daily data collection rather than extensive analysis of fixed data sets.
Is there such a thing?
If not, it may be time to start thinking about creating it. A spreadsheet-like, but more task-specific, frontend, with a good way to enter new data and a real language to do your data analysis. Bonus for being able to generate a matching data entry component for Android phones (can't sideload apps on iPhone).
I'm crossposting this to Google+, and you can also reach me through email as well of course.

Porn and Atheism
PZ Myers of Pharyngula asks why somebody can't both do porn and be a spokesperson for atheism? It's not like pornography is illegal, or even seen as wrong by a substantial population after all. I think he's missing a point. It's not about what is permissible, or what is somebody's right. It's all about communication effectiveness.
Leaving aside the two particular things — porn and atheism — in the post above, you can't really do more than one even slightly controversial or disputed thing in public, and still be an effective spokesperson. When you publicly arguing for a particular cause you can potentially reach anybody who is inclined to at least listen to your arguments. If you are also publicly arguing for a different, unrelated cause, you're likely to lose those who are firmly against this cause, even if they're sympathetic to the other one.
Anybody who is firmly set against your position in one field will by implication tend to reject your position in any other. As you publicly declare your opinion on more controversial issues, the circle of people receptive to your arguments in any of those areas will shrink.
If you are an economist, but also publicly a hippie and a drug liberal then many financial workers (who tend to be conservative and dislike people like you) will dismiss any argument you may have for financial reform, no matter how good how solid, your arguments. People who are sympathetic to drug liberalization may well give your economic arguments more weight than they deserve. If you're an arch-conservative fire-and-brimstone religious leader, then your arguments for, say, community schooling in poor areas may well be dismissed by many liberals and non-believers who suspect you're just trying to push your religion onto more people.
If you do porn movies and argue for atheism, you'll lose potential atheists that dislike porn. And you'll lose religious people that could otherwise view porn in a more sympathetic light. Companies love athletes as spokespeople; they typically do not take public stances on anything else, leaving the reach of the company message as wide as possible.
As private people we are free to live as we want, and argue for whatever we want. But if you choose to try to be an effective advocate of a cause then you do need to limit your public engagement in other areas.
Edit: edited the text for clarity. Never blog before morning coffee.

Short Takes
You can track my work habits pretty reliably through this blog. If I am mostly coding or running simulations I write a lot around here. If I'm mostly trying to work on a paper or a presentation this place goes silent. No prices for guessing what I'm currently doing. The silence here gets worse now that I tend to post short notes on Google+ rather than here. I think I would like a way to repost those fragments around here too in some way. As a test, let me post links here to some recent posts of mine. Is it good, unnecessary, or annoying? Please let me know.
- Vim Turns 20. Vim is a text editor, beloved by many programmers and other people that spend most of their time writing text. It's very powerful one you know it, but the learning curve is quite steep. I love it, and it's one of my main tools.
- I get a lot of my daily information through RSS feeds. On my laptop I've used Google Reader for years, but after a recent redesign it's become unusable to me. I'm looking at alternatives such as Feedly, but I have not found anything that really works for me yet.
If anybody has a good suggestion for a news reader, let me know. My main criteria is that I get the feeds in list form (no newspaper-like layout), that syncs with Google Reader, that it is navigable by keyboard and that I be able to go through items feed by feed (or group by group), not just all new items jumbled together in time order.
- Japanese curry goes well with couscous. If you get tired of always having curry with rice, this is a good alternative. My Madeleine cookies are improving, but I still don't get the light and fluffy consistency I want. Any tips for fluffier Madeleines are very welcome.

I know if I have a polynomial $f(x) = g(x) \cdot h(x) \cdot k(x)$ and $g(x),h(x),k(x)$ are polynomials of degree 2, then the Galois group will be $Z/2Z \times Z/2Z \times Z/2Z$ if the roots of $g,h,k$ are distinct.
But what happens in the case when you have mixed factors... i.e. for example the polynomial
$(x^2 + 1)(x^2 -4x + 7)(x^2 - 2)$
the splitting field would be $Q(\sqrt{2},\sqrt{3},i)$ but what would be the Galois group?

12 Questions to Ask Your Doctor About Depression
In this article
Everybody knows about the emotional symptoms of depression. But depression doesn't just affect your mood. Not only can it make you feel alone or hopeless, it can also affect sleep, appetite, and weight. It can also cause physical pain.
Even people who know they are depressed might not connect some of these symptoms with their condition. Since it's so easy to miss some symptoms of depression, here are questions you can ask your doctor. Print them out and take them to your next appointment. Go in prepared -- it's very easy to forget the questions you wanted to ask when you're actually sitting in the doctor's office.
Recommended Related to Depression
If you think a drug you're taking might be causing your depression, you may be right. Certain medications prescribed for various medical conditions do cause such feelings as sadness, despair, and discouragement. And those are feelings that are often associated with depression. Other medicines prescribed for medical problems can trigger mania (excessive elation and energy) that's usually associated with bipolar disorder. Medications that cause mania or depression appear to alter brain chemicals...
Read the Drugs That Cause Depression article > >
- What kind of depression do I have? Depression can take many forms. Different types respond better to different sorts of treatment.
- Can you recommend a therapist who can help ease my symptoms of depression? Finding a therapist is a crucial first step in beating your depression.
- How might depression affect my appetite and weight? Many people notice physical changes because of their depression. Some lose weight because they've lost their appetite or feel sick. Others gain weight because they might stop exercising or turn to food for comfort.
- How could depression affect my sleep? People often associate depression with oversleeping. But depression can also cause insomnia.
- Could my depression be causing me physical pain? Studies have shown that depression can increase the feelings of physical pain, including headaches, back pain, and abdominal pain.
- Could other health conditions be contributing to my symptoms of depression? Conditions like heart disease, cancer, and thyroid problems can trigger or worsen the symptoms of depression. Some can affect how well your antidepressants work.
- Do I need medicine to treat my depression? Medication -- often along with therapy -- can be a highly effective way to treat depression. This can especially be true when symptoms are severe or certain symptoms are present -- such as suicidal thoughts, hopelessness, or a marked inability to feel pleasure.
- What are the side effects of this drug? Talk over the pros and cons of taking the each of the different medication options to treat depression. Ask how any side effects might be managed.
- Do the symptoms of depression need special treatment? In addition to treating depression, you may need to treat specific symptoms as well. For instance, if your depression is making it impossible to sleep, you may need to treat that directly.
- What kind of lifestyle changes will help with my symptoms of depression? Ask your doctor about what you can do to ease symptoms. Getting exercise, eating well, avoiding alcohol and illicit drugs, and following a regular routine might help.
- What about alternative treatments? So far, research has not shown that any alternative treatments or supplements can cure depression. However, some may be helpful. So always talk to your doctor before using these treatments.
- What should I do in an emergency? You and your doctor should have a plan for a crisis. If you are ever in danger of hurting yourself, you -- and your family -- need to know what steps to take.

This demonstration is from the book, "Creating Nature in Watercolor: An Artist's Guide" by Cathy Johnson, published by North Light Books, an imprint of F + W Publications. Reprinted with permission of the publisher. All steps included.
When I found this beautiful little waterfall deep in the Pennsylvania Poconos, I couldn't resist painting on the spot. I had gone out expecting to paint something entirely different, but the sound of falling water downstream drew me, and I had to give it a try. Time was all too short, so first I did a thumbnail then a larger value sketch so that I'd have a framework if I ran out of time--which I did!
SURFACE - Fabriano cold-pressed watercolor block
PIGMENTS - Burnt Sienna, Cadmium Yellow Medium (optional), Payne's Gray, Phthalo Blue, Transparent Yellow, Ultramarine Blue
BRUSHES - 1/2-inch (13mm), 1-inch (25mm) flat; no. 6 round
OTHER MATERIALS - Brushed-tipped pens in shades of gray; natural sponge; masking fluid
The spot was idyllic and primal. The waterfall sparkled and roared, the rocks were acid-green with moss, and I felt as if I were miles and millennia away from civilization. It was the perfect place to paint!
I mostly used Transparent Yellow, Phthalo Blue and Burnt Sienna. You can mix a wonderful range of greens with just these three colors (substitute Cadmium Yellow Medium if you prefer).
The waterfall itself was a riot of color. The pure white of the falling water, shaded areas that varied from pale to a medium gray-blue, earth tones where the color of the rock showed through and wonderful reflections from the sky and trees. I pushed the color, emphasizing these differences, because I wanted this area to really sparkle. At that point I ran out of time and had to settle for taking an array of resource photos.
You need to use a stronger value and more detail on the trees on the left to give them their proper importance. I paid more attention to the bark patterns on the big leaning birch, letting my brush follow thhe rounded shape, and included more details.
The rocks are mostly Burnt Sienna and Phthalo Blue, with a little stronger mix of Transparent Yellow to suggest the moss that grew abundantly in this moist environment.
I've begun to add small, dark accents in the rocks and some of the branches, using a small round brush and a mixture of Burnt Sienna and Ultramarine Blue, with a little Payne's Gray in the darkest areas.
I referred to my photo resource to check shadows and reflections in the water and added them where needed. Using the deepest value I could mix, I applied the rest of the branches with the end of a sharpened stick. I painted the darker foliage at top with a natural sponge dipped into a deep green mixture comprised of Phthalo Blue and Burnt Sienna. I used a light touch so the rough, varied texture of the sponge wouuld act as my painting tool.

My only problem with Alaska Airlines inaugurating round-trip service between Seattle and New Orleans is when to go -- autumn or spring? For some reason, NOLA has eluded me, and it's been my top gotta-go-there city in the US for too many years.
I blame the lack of direct flights from the Emerald City to The Big Easy, but that all changed this week. Inaugural daily roundtrip service started the morning of June 12, departing Seattle at 10:15 AM (arriving in New Orleans at 5PM) and departing New Orleans at 5:55PM and arriving in Seattle at 8:50PM.
Famous for its food, festivals, arts, music and rich cultural heritage, New Orleans is often referred to as the "most unique" city in America. Alaska Airlines is the only carrier offering nonstop service between Seattle and New Orleans. Other new daily service offered by Alaska Airlines from Seattle includes:
- Seattle - Tampa | June 20
- Seattle - Baltimore | September 2
- Seattle - Detroit | September 4
- Seattle - Albuquerque | September 18
- Seattle - Cancun | November 6 (pending government approval)
