The basics of variable-mask feathering
The basics of variable-mask feathering
In the next few movies, I'd like to demonstrate Variable Mask Feathering, a new feature that was added as of After Effects CS6. In this movie, I am going to show you the basics of using the Mask Feather tool, and while I'm at it, I'm going to show some other ways of the Pen tool changed as of After Effects CS6. Then in the next movie, we'll get into some of Mask Feather tools options. In the third movie, I'll work through a second example; it is more of visual effects bend compared to this graphical example. I've already closed all of our previous comps and if you have access to the CS6 version of the project files, open up VMF_1-Soft Composite*Starter.
You can also use any piece of footage of your own. In this case, I have a graphical clock that I have shown to the client and they say, they like the clock but they wish that the city behind it was a real city, rather than a graphical city. Therefore I need to create a composite where I cut out this clock face and put it over a piece of footage of a real city. Now inside this project file I have such a shot. I'll go down to the Sources folder and look at the Cityscape.mov file. It's a time lapse footage of an actual cityscape. That's what I'll put behind our synthetic clock in this composite.
I'll drag it below, Clock+Skyline inside my comp, so I have got the clock on top of the cityscape. Now if I do not have After Effects CS6, the way that I would normally tackle this, is I would choose the Pen tool, cut out the clock, then use Mask Feather to create a soft edged composite with the footage underneath. Let's walk through that briefly. You can use the RotoBezier option if you would like. I am going to go ahead and use the normal Bezier Pen tool. I'll start by making a point anywhere along the clock.
I like to try to get by with just as few points as possible. I am clicking and dragging because I know I'll want to create a curved Bezier line, so I'll need some tension to my points here. Here is another point, I'll drag it out. If you're careful, you can go back and modify your Bezier handles and even position of some points while you're working. By the way, this is one of the ways in which the Pen tool changed as of After Effects CS6. Normally if you have the Pen tool selected and you hovered over an existing vertex or mask point you would get the Delete Vertex tool.
This resulted in many people accidentally deleting points, when all we want to do is click and move them, that behavior is changed as of CS6, so now you get this Selection tool when you hover the Pen tool over an existing point. If you do indeed want to delete this point, put the cursor over the point, then hold down Command on Mac or Ctrl on Windows and you'll get the Delete Vertex tool. Whenever you've edited a previous point along a mask, make sure you select the last point you've created, that way After Effects knows you want to continue working on that mask shape rather than create a new one.
I'll drag that in position, change my tension little bit here. That point is selected, that's good, and lets come up and close our mask path. I can drag it out a little bit to see what I am doing. I can also double-click this footage to open it up in the Layer panel and the Render check box turned off, so I can see the footage behind without the mask cutting it off, and a little bit of bending of these points. I have got a mask that reasonably cuts out this clock face. And since I'm going to be feathering it I don't need to be precise.
So I'll go back to my Comp panel. I already have Mask 1 revealed. That happens automatically when you create a mask. I type M to close the mask, then type MM, two M's in quick succession to reveal all of the Mask Parameters. To soften this edge I need to use two parameters, the Mask Feather, which softens it both inside and outside the mask path, then Mask Expansion, which pushes the mask outside or inside the mask path. And I'll balance these two values off against each other, until I get it the way that I like it.
Well, maybe so the way I like it, but the client doesn't like this. They say, you know, the way that this clock is oriented in this frame, they really wish they had a narrow feather here and a much broader feather up here. Well before CS6 you couldn't really do that, unless you created multiple masks and mix them together and it got a bit messy. As of CS6 we can use the Mask Feather tool. So I'm going to zero out Mask Feather and Mask Expansion. Go up to my Pen tool, click and hold, and I get the entire list of tool options.
These first four tools existed in earlier versions of After Effects, new in CS6 is the Mask Feather tool. You might notice now that the shortcut key G only appears next to the Pen tool and the Mask Feather tool. By default, G will toggle between those two tools. In earlier versions, it went through all of the tools inside this menu. If you want that old behavior where G went through the entire menu, you can change your preferences underneath General, and Disable Pen tool Shortcut Toggles Between Pen and Mask Feather tools. That will get you back to Pre CS6 behavior.
Frankly, I have gotten used to this and I like it. So I'll back up here, select my Mask Feather tool and let's start feathering this mask. Once you move your cursor over the Comp panel you'll see changes to a stylized feather. You can click anywhere along the mask path. It does not need to be on the mask vertex. It could be somewhere in between, like say here, and drag either upward or inward to decide what direction you want to feather. And note, it's not centered around the masked path, when you create your first feather point, it start the mask path and goes from there.
So it's one way that it behaves different than normal feathering. Let's say I want to go outward, I'll drag it, a nice broad feather up to here. Okay, I've my wide feather here, but I want a narrow feather here. So I'll just add another point either here along the mask path or here on my feather path, then drag inward to create my thinner feather through here. I can drag these points around the masked path and After Effects will automatically interpolate in between those points.
As I demonstrated, you can feather outward and inward. I can just click along the mask path, After Effects will temporarily think that I want a very narrow feather here. But if I drag inward, it says oh, you are trying to feather from an inner boundary to an outer boundary as opposed to from the mask path to your feather boundary. So you have some flexibility there. I'll undo, because I wanted the clock face to be opaque and the feather out from there. I can add as many feather points as I want to go ahead and soften this up.
For example, if I want to be a little bit tighter down here, but wanted to soften it a little wider out here, I just create another feather point. Now if you have just the layer selected, you're going to see just the mask path. You need to have a mask name selected to see the mask path and the feather path. So that's Mask Feathering at its most basic. However, there are a few nice additional options available to the Mask Feather tool as well, and that's what I'll show in the next movie.

Customer Reviews
My son got engaged shortly before Christmas so I purchased this ring and painted the date along the band. They have it hanging on an ornament stand in their apartment. It's a beautiful reminder!
Our family has a tradition of giving a Christmas ornament that commemorates something significant in that person's previous year. So when my son presented his girlfriend with my mother's engagement ring, I knew I had to find an ornament that would capture that event. They were both thrilled to have this ring to hang on their tree to remind them each year of the joy and commitment of that day.

H.R. 3964, the Sacramento-San Joaquin Valley Emergency Water Delivery Act, introduced by the Republican California delegation, addresses the emergency drought in California by restoring some water supplies to provide job certainty to farmers and communities.
The lack of rainfall has exacerbated the man-made drought caused by federal regulations and environmental lawsuits. On January 17, 2014, California Governor Jerry Brown declared a state of emergency for California due to the drought.
In 2009, federal regulations to protect a 3-inch fish – the Delta smelt - led to the deliberate diversion of over 300 billion gallons of water away from San Joaquin Valley farmers, cost thousands of farm workers their jobs, inflicted up to 40 percent unemployment in some communities, and fallowed hundreds of thousands of acres of fertile farmland. Unemployment still remains at 12% and will only go up as water is not delivered to farms and communities.
Last Congress, the House passed bipartisan legislation, The Sacramento-San Joaquin Valley Water Reliability Act, to restore the flow of water. The Democratic-controlled Senate did not act on that bill or any California water legislation. The situation in California is now dire because of inaction by the Senate.
California's San Joaquin Valley is the salad bowl of the world, providing the majority of fruits, vegetables and specialty crops for the entire nation. But the San Joaquin Valley is turning into a dust bowl and immediate action must be taken to change policies that put the needs of fish above the livelihood of people.
H.R. 3964 is a comprehensive solution that would restore some water deliveries, ensure a reliable water supply for people and fish, and save taxpayer money by ending unnecessary and dubious government projects.
Specifically H.R. 3964:
Restores water deliveries to communities by codifying the historic, bipartisan State/Federal agreement known as the "Bay-Delta Accord."
Reforms punitive federal laws, like the Central Valley Project Improvement Act and the San Joaquin River Restoration Settlement Act, in order to provide fairness to ratepayers, promote transparency and accountability, and save taxpayers hundreds of millions of dollars.
Allows water users to pay off federal debt early, which will bring early revenue to the U.S. Treasury.
Protects and secures private property and senior water rights.

TWO walkers tackling the Yorkshire Three Peaks Challenge were helped by cave rescuers over the weekend.
The Clapham-based Cave Rescue Organisation (CRO) received its first call on Saturday at 10am after a fellrunner slipped on the way down from Pen-y-Ghent summit.
The 47-year-old man had suffered a suspected fractured ankle.
He was treated initially by marshalls who were there for a challenge walk before being met by CRO members near Hunt Pot.
After being examined the casualty was transported by team vehicle down to a road ambulance waiting in Horton in Ribblesdale. An air ambulance also attended.

The second callout of the day came at 11.10pm after a 38-year-old walker reported that he was 'lost and disorientated' in a limestone area on Ingleborough without a torch.
A team spokesperson said: "Unfortunately his phone signal was lost before further information could be obtained.
"Search teams were deployed up from Horton in Ribblesdale and into the Sulber and Nick Pot area.
"He was found by one of the teams near Horton Quarry, above Beecroft Hall, and escorted down to the village.
"He had been doing the Three Peaks walk with three companions before becoming separated and going off route.
"They were all located safe and well in Horton."

The Anti-Marthas
Despite her recently marred reputation, Martha Stewart still represents perfection -- at least in terms of homes, weddings, flower arrangements and food. More perfect still, in terms of marketing, anyway, is Stewart's message: You too can be perfect, if you buy her magazine or watch her TV show and can follow simple directions.
Last summer, Austinite Kelsey August, who owns a marketing company of her own, decided to use a dessert recipe from Stewart's Living magazine for her Fourth of July dinner party. In the photo, the frozen raspberry bombe looked cool and sophisticated.
But August's problems began at her local grocery. The recipe called for nine pints of raspberries -- at $4 per pint. She scrapped the raspberries and went with blackberries, which were half the price. Another ingredient, raspberry sorbet, wasn't sold at the store, so again August improvised, choosing strawberry ice cream.
At home, she followed the 500-word recipe to a tee, that is, until she reached its last words: freeze overnight. August was dumbfounded.

"I'm mad at Martha," she told her guests later that evening. The party laughed about the "raspberry bomb incident" while sampling August's concoction, which was delicious but in no way resembled the dessert in the photo. August and her friend Sara Singer got to talking about how complicated and expensive Stewart's recipes could be.
"I'd tried a lot of her things, too," says Singer, a stay-at-home mother of two, "and they're not as easy as she makes it seem. It's probably because she has an entire staff. She steps in front of the camera and acts like she's done it all. But she has food stylists and sous chefs."
The women came up with an idea: a cookbook for the anti-Marthas of the world, with cheap, quick recipes made from simple, easy-to-find ingredients. They began to gather their own recipes, scrawled on flour-encrusted index cards, and six months later, they published Mad at Martha.
"There have to be people out there," says August, "who want to be like Martha but don't have the time or budget. We thought, 'Let's put [the recipes] we do well together and give them to women who are frustrated.' "
The cookbook contains many types of cuisine. "Both of us like all kinds of different things," says Singer, "so we've collected a variety of recipes, for Russian tea cakes, enchiladas, meat loaf, Irish soda bread "
The recipes are easy to read and fit on a single page. But Mad at Martha's biggest strength is its humor. "We tell [Stewart] what she should read," says August, "and we tell her to look away from things she wouldn't like."
The recipe for fancy hash browns, for instance, comes with this warning: "Martha would freak out. I make these hash browns with bacon on weekend mornings." The pancake recipe boasts, "Martha would be proud -- no box mix!" And on their queso recipe, the authors joke, "Martha will love this one. Two no-no's processed cheese and the microwave!"
Sometimes all it takes to attain perfection is melted Velveeta, a few veggies and ten minutes.

Kodak EasyShare Printer Dock Series 3
- Detail is superb, printing is relatively fast
- Printing is expensive
Bottom Line
Kodak's Printer Dock 3 provides excellent quality photo prints at high speeds. However, this functionality proves to be expensive, with each print having a hefty cost.
Price$ 199.00 (AUD)
Best Deals (Selling at 3 stores)
Special Offers
Kodak's range of Printer Docks are thermal dye printers (also known as dye-sublimation printers). The result is an image that is essentially indistinguishable from prints from a commercial photo lab; detail is superb.
The Kodak passes the paper through the printer four times: once each for the three colours and a fourth time to put a protective coating on the print. The coating protects the print both from handling and the atmosphere, aiding print longevity. The Printer Dock's dye comes in a cartridge pack along with 40 sheets of paper. The cartridge is keyed to the number of pieces of paper--there's no eking out extra prints here. Also, before you insert the cartridge in the printer you must ensure the dye film is taut, which involves winding it on to take up any slack just like an audio cassette. You must be careful not to wind too much, however, as you can reduce the number of prints available.
The Printer Dock Series 3 is relatively speedy, with an average 4" x 6" print speed of 1 minute 39 seconds during our tests, which is relatively fast for a dye-sub printer. The downside to the Printer Dock 3's technology is the expense: the 40-sheet paper/cartridge kit costs $49.95, which works out at $1.25 per print.
Kodak's Printer Docks are primarily designed as docking stations for its range of EASYSHARE cameras, providing battery charging and image transfer to the PC in addition to printing. Previous versions of the device have allowed you to connect a USB card reader to print an image from non-Kodak cameras. The Printer Dock Series 3, however, is the first in the series to support the new Imagelink system. ImageLink, a standard introduced by a consortium of digital camera manufacturers, allows the Printer Dock to be used with ImageLink-compatible cameras, making it a better option for non-Kodak owners.
The Printer Dock isn't as compact as many inkjet printers, because when in use its paper cassette sticks out the front and you need to leave some space behind as the paper is passed out the back several centimetres during printing. There's a USB port for connecting to a PC and another for connecting a PictBridge-capable device (such as a camera) or a USB card reader. You don't get an LCD screen, because the LCD of a docked camera operates as your preview screen.

First impression on unpacking the Q702 test unit was the solid feel and clean, minimalist styling.
Anthony Grifoni
For work use, Microsoft Word and Excel programs pre-installed on the device are adequate for preparing short documents.
Steph Mundell
The Fujitsu LifeBook UH574 allowed for great mobility without being obnoxiously heavy or clunky. Its twelve hours of battery life did not disappoint.
Andrew Mitsi
The screen was particularly good. It is bright and visible from most angles, however heat is an issue, particularly around the Windows button on the front, and on the back where the battery housing is located.
Simon Harriott
My first impression after unboxing the Q702 is that it is a nice looking unit. Styling is somewhat minimalist but very effective. The tablet part, once detached, has a nice weight, and no buttons or switches are located in awkward or intrusive positions.

It all depends on the techs, most seem to be third party hired and don't seem to care. And when it comes to contracts you are supposed to have three verifications for it, one through the rep, one through third party verification, and last through the tech who comes to your home which is why you need someone over the age of 18 there.0 0 Reply

DirectTV does NOT always tell the customer they are locked in a 2 year contract and they certainly DO NOT tell the customer that acceptance of ANY new equipment to replace any they have will extend their contracts.If they told the customer this there would be far less customers of DTV. The biggest thing I'd worry about if I were a DirectTV customer is my bank or credit card they have on file.0 0 Reply

First of all i have never known Directv to ever go under anyone's house.Second of all you choose your own package Directv does not choose your package for you.So it looks like the problem is within your not knowing what you are doing.And Directv always informs their customers that you are in a contract for a certain period of time.Did you not read your agreement before you signed on with Directv everyone has to read and Accept the agreement.Or better still can you read at all?0 0 Reply

Connie is 100 percent wrong. I no longer have directv but I use to and they definitely crawled under my house in the crawl space. Why do people spout out lies? Wonder if it makes them feel smart?0 0 Reply

A critical component of any IoT project is what to do with all the data being generated. This data needs to be captured, processed, structured, and stored in a way to facilitate different kinds of queries. Traditional data warehouse and analytical systems are mature technologies that can be used to handle certain kinds of queries, but they are not always well suited to many problems, particularly when there is a need for real-time insights.

Early adopters of IoT viewed it mainly as a different term for machine-to-machine connectivity or M2M. This is understandable since a prerequisite for any IoT solution is the ability to collect and aggregate device data, which is most often presented in a dashboard. The problem is that viewing data in a dashboard requires a human to interpret the results and take manual action, which doesn't scale to the needs of IoT.

Chennai: A day after he indicated that the AIADMK may support the NDA after poll results are announced, senior leader K Malaisamy was on Thursday expelled by party chief J Jayalalithaa for "bringing disrepute to the party".
Malaisamy had said that Narendra Modi "is a great friend of Jayalalithaa" even if "they may differ politically".
"If he becomes the prime minister, then madam (Jayalalithaa) would like close ties," Malaisamy had told a news channel, indicating a possible post-poll alliance.
Countering her party leader, Jayalalithaa – the Tamil Nadu chief minister – had said that she was yet to take any decision on the issue of support and was awaiting the Lok Sabha poll results.
AIADMK is expected to win at least 20 seats in Tamil Nadu and Modi is reported to be banking on support from Jayalalithaa in case the NDA falls short of majority when General Elections results are announced tomorrow.

In one of the best-loved classic tales for children, Sara Crewe is sent to England to attend Miss Minchin's boarding school for girls.

But when Sara's wealthy father dies and leaves her penniless, Miss Minchin makes Sara do the worst chores in the house. Still, as badly as Miss Minchin treats Sara, with a little help from her friends and her imagination, Sara is determined to find happiness no matter what.
A Little Princess is read by Royal Shakespeare actor Lucy Whybrow, with music and effects to set the mood.

Read an Excerpt
Chapter One
Once on a dark winter's day, when the yellow fog hung so thick and heavy in the streets of London that the lamps were lighted and the shop windows blazed with gas as they do at night, an odd-looking little girl sat in a cab with her father and was driven rather slowly through the big thoroughfares.
She sat with her feet tucked under her, and leaned against her father, who held her in his arm, as she stared out of the window at the passing people with a queer old-fashioned thoughtfulness in her big eyes.
She was such a little girl that one did not expect to see such a look on her small face. It would have been an old look for a child of twelve, and Sara Crewe was only seven. The fact was, however, that she was always dreaming and thinking odd things and could not herself remember any time when she had not been thinking things about grown-up people and the world they belonged to. She felt as if she had lived a long, long time.
At this moment she was remembering the voyage she had just made from Bombay with her father, Captain Crewe. She was thinking of the big ship, of the Lascars passing silently to and fro on it, of the children playing about on the hot deck, and of some young officers' wives who used to try to make her talk to them and laugh at the things she said.
Principally, she was thinking of what a queer thing it was that at one time one was in India in the blazing sun, and then in the middle of the ocean, and then driving in a strange vehicle through strange streets where the day was asdark as the night. She found this so puzzling that she moved closer to her father.
"Papa," she said in a low, mysterious little voice which was almost a whisper, "papa."
"What is it, darling?" Captain Crewe answered, holding her closer and looking down into her face. "What is Sara thinking of?"
"Is this the place?" Sara whispered, cuddling still closer to him. "Is it, papa?"
"Yes, little Sara, it is. We have reached it at last." And though she was only seven years old, she knew that he felt sad when he said it.
It seemed to her many years since he had begun to prepare her mind for "the place," as she always called it. Her mother had died when she was born, so she had never known or missed her. Her young, handsome, rich, petting father seemed to be the only relation she had in the world. They had always played together and been fond of each other. She only knew he was rich because she had heard people say so when they thought she was not listening, and she had also heard them say that when she grew up she would be rich, too. She did not know all that being rich meant. She had always lived in a beautiful bungalow, and had been used to seeing many servants who made salaams to her and called her "Missee Sahib," and gave her her own way in everything. She had had toys and pets and an ayah who worshipped her, and she had gradually learned that people who were rich had these things. That, however, was all she knew about it.
During her short life only one thing had troubled her, and that thing was "the place" she was to be taken to some day. The climate of India was very bad for children, and as soon as possible they were sent away from it -- generally to England and to school. She had seen other children go away, and had heard their fathers and mothers talk about the letters they received from them. She had known that she would be obliged to go also, and though sometimes her father's stories of the voyage and the new country had attracted her, she had been troubled by the thought that he could not stay with her.
"Couldn't you go to that place with me, papa?" she had asked when she was five years old. "Couldn't you go to school, too? I would help you with your lessons."
"But you will not have to stay for a very long time, little Sara " he had always said. "You will go to a nice house where there will be a lot of little girls, and you will play together, and I will send you plenty of books, and you will grow so fast that it will seem scarcely a year before you are big enough and clever enough to come back and take care of papa."
She had liked to think of that. To keep the house for her father; to ride with him, and sit at the head of his table when he had dinner parties; to talk to him and read his books -- that would be what she would like most in the world and if one must go away to "the place" in England to attain it, she must make up her mind to go.
She did not care very much for other little girls, but if she had plenty of books she could console herself. She liked books more than anything else, and was, in fact, always inventing stories of beautiful things and telling them to herself. Sometimes she had told them to her father, and he had liked them as much as she did.
"Well, papa," she said softly, "if we are here I suppose we must be resigned."
He laughed at her old-fashioned speech and kissed her. He was really not at all resigned himself, though he knew he must keep that a secret. His quaint little Sara had been a great companion to him, and he felt he should be a lonely fellow when, on his return to India...A Little Princess Book and Charm. Copyright © by Frances Burnett.

I am so fond of this story that I have gifted it to many nieces and friends. I love the flow of Frances Hodgson Burnett's writing...she keeps the young mind enraptured, curious, and concerned for the primary characters. Such great opportunities to speak with young persons on family, war, orphans, wealth, care, personal and social responsibility...just a beautiful story with life lessons when guided by an adult. You will not be disappointed by this classic!

My twin Bed needs to be changed
quality and affordability
I was here for 4 nights, and little did I know I would regret leaving this hotel the second I got to Düsseldorf. The room was so comfortable. Amazing rainfall shower. Decent wifi (not amazing, but not horrendous..). Nice quiet neighborhood close to public transport. But the best part was the bed. BY FAR, the most comfortable bed I slept in in all of Europe (And I traveled everywhere). There are little nit-picky things you could say about this place, but who cares with a bed like that! The staff were very friendly and helpful too! I only wish I wrote down the name of the mattress so I could buy one for myself...
The deluxe rooms look ok but I was so disappointed: - Didn't find the hotel first as there is no light outside of the hotel (not to mention the very poor reception area) - Hole in the ground of the room (mind your steps...) - Cold room: Window was open at 7pm upon arrival in November... - No sofa (although a sofa is in the confirmation you receive) - Staff promised to change my room but it was never possible - Gave my an invoice with a price that didn't match with the one that I paid...
Room was large and luxurious. Hotel much further away from centre than stated but still walkable with decent shoes!

Congressman Confirms Leppert's Senate Run
U.S. Representative David Dreier
While Republican Tom Leppert hasn't exactly been coy about his plans to mount a campaign for the U.S. Senate seat soon to be vacated by Kay Bailey Hutchison, U.S. Representative David Dreier confirmed Leppert's intentions late last night. He told the Forum, Claremont McKenna College's newspaper, that a fellow CMC graduate "is running for [Senate]."
Dreier, a 30-year congressman from California, graduated from CMC in 1975. Leppert graduated two years later.
The story also quotes a CMC government professor who considers Leppert to be a strong candidate.
"He has won in a constituency that is not a cakewalk for a Republican," Jack Pitney told the paper. "He has a strong business background, and he doesn't have the taint of a professional politician."

Doesn't have the taint of a professional politician? Really?
We've heard from a couple sources that Leppert plans to make his announcement and resign from his position as mayor on Monday, at which point Mayor Pro Tem Dwaine Caraway would assume the job.
In the comments of the Leppert story, we also learned about a lesser-known candidate for Hutchison's seat. Her website doesn't offer much info, but we've posted her pic after the jump. Enjoy.

Light pumps drugs from nanoparticles
Nanoscale packages from which drug molecules can be released in controlled pulses have been developed by a team of Chinese chemists1.
This drug-delivery system is controlled by light. A flash of ultraviolet light changes the shape of molecules in the walls of the nanocompartments where the drug is held, apparently opening up pores that let the drug leak out. A flash of visible light converts the molecules back again, sealing the openings.

We're in the process of buying a new home and I want to put an Aga in the kitchen. The kitchen is not a great kitchen and I'm not sure how much I can do with it. But I really want that Aga. So I'm wondering two things: 1, Does anyone else here have an Aga and do you have any installation advice? 2, take a look at these photos of the existing kitchen and let me know if you have any ideas re how to reconfigure it to make it more useable, color advice, etc. The kitchen is smallish and has 5 doors leading in and out of it, only one of which (the one going out to the porch) could really be gotten rid of.
