The former US Open champion, who despite several close calls has endured a barren title run worldwide since his play-off victory at the World Challenge in 2010, fired a flawless four-under-par 68 on Saturday to post a 13-under total of 203.
"I played very solidly again today," McDowell said after sinking two long-range birdie putts early on to maintain his grip on the tournament. "Bogey free is always nice on any golf course."
McDowell said he was very happy with the way he has been hitting the golf ball.
"It'll be a nice way to finish the year if I can get a good win tomorrow, but there will be a few guys on that board that will have a little something to say about it for sure," he said.
McDowell's closest challenger was first-round leader Keegan Bradley who matched the day's best round with a six-birdie 67 at a rain-soaked Sherwood Country Club to finish at 11 under.
Tournament host and defending champion Tiger Woods, bidding for his fourth victory this year, was a further three strokes back after narrowly missing a seven-foot birdie putt at the last to card a 69.
Woods failed to birdie any of the five par-fives on the hilly course that winds its way below the Santa Monica mountains as he ended the day level with fellow American Bo Van Pelt, who birdied the par-four last for a 70.
"It was wet out there," Woods said about the saturated Sherwood layout after mixing four birdies with a lone bogey.
"It was a little sloppy early, and overall I thought it was tough to get the ball close today.
"I didn't play the par-fives well and didn't play (hole) eight well again. I missed a few opportunities out there. I felt like I played decent enough to get to 10 under, to get to double digits, and just didn't do it.
"As of right now I'm five back. I'm going to have to shoot a low one tomorrow and see what happens."
On a soggy morning, 2010 US Open champion McDowell began the third round with a commanding three-shot lead but that was swiftly trimmed to just one after the fast-starting Bradley birdied two of the first three holes.
However, McDowell got his putter working in scintillating fashion, sinking birdie putts from 30 feet at the par-five second and the par-four fourth to restore his three-stroke advantage.
Though American Bradley picked up another shot at the sixth to apply early pressure on McDowell, the Northern Irishman maintained his grip on the tournament with further birdies at the ninth and 11th before parring the last seven holes.
"It would have been nice to pick a few more (shots) up on the way in, I guess, finishing with seven straight pars when there are some chances out there," said McDowell, who was runner-up on his debut here in 2009.
"I played disciplined golf to some of those tighter pins, couldn't seem to get anything to drop.
"But two shots ahead going into Sunday, I'll take that any week, anywhere, any time. It's right where you need to be," he added.
Bradley, who became the first player to win a major using a belly putter at the 2011 PGA Championship, was delighted to be in a position to win his first tournament since the WGC-Bridgestone Invitational in August.
"I feel really good out there," said the 26-year-old and three-time winner on the PGA Tour. "It's so fun to be back in the hunt again. It's been a while. It's been a few months.
"Graeme loves this place. He just has such an unbelievable record here. I'll be looking forward to playing with him tomorrow. It'll be a good time."

My teenagers are a constant revelation
Anyone who survives the dentist's drill should be able to pass this acid test. As I sit terrified in a car crammed with 15-year-old boys, my own at the wheel, I wonder, "Where is God now?" Rush hour traffic bolts feverishly, my stomach wrenches, my neck stiffens, rigid with tension. Acid rock on the radio fills the car with whining, shrieking dissonance. If Dante had had a teenaged driver, he surely would've added this trip to his circles of hell.

Everybody knows Freddy and Jason. The hockey mask. The stereotypical shower scene. ?Looking for something a little more original to watch this Halloween? ?Try suspense, intricate plots and a smidgen of gore. ?With this list of unique contemporary films, you'll be well on your way to the most terrifying movie night ever.
1. "It"
If you're not already terrified of clowns, you surely will be after watching this flick. In a small town in Maine, "It," an omnipresent clown who can take the form of a person's greatest fear, resurfaces to torment townspeople. Although the movie is told through a series of flashbacks, the most bone-chilling part is the haunting voice of "It" and his large, pointy teeth. Even though this movie is often seen as a run-of�the-mill horror film, it has its emotional moments, touching on child abuse, racism and the death of a parent. The only disappointment in this film is the final scene, which seems too anticlimactic. Despite its lackluster ending, this movie will forever change the way you look at clowns.
2. "The Skeleton Key"
When a hospice worker, Caroline Ellis, finds a new position on a plantation, she soon discovers she is in for more than changing bedpans and administering medicine. Thus begins her journey into the supernatural world of "hoodoo." Although the first half of the movie is rather sluggish as Caroline uncovers secrets of the house, it is worth sitting through. Unlike "It," the best part of "Skeleton Key" is the edge-of-your-seat ending and the mind-boggling conclusion that will occupy one's mind for days. This sophisticated horror movie works with dark undertones and subtle spooks. In essence, this thriller is nothing short of � well, thrilling!
3. "The Sixth Sense"
If you're looking for a movie that combines mystery, horror and an unforgettable ending, then look no further. Bruce Willis plays a psychiatrist who takes on a new patient, Cole, who claims to "see dead people." The doctor's detached relationship with his wife is a second intriguing plot line as well. The most prominent element of this film, the intricate mystery, will keep the audience hooked until the end. Finding out why Cole sees dead people and why the doctor's marriage is in shambles will be sure to astonish viewers. The brief violence and gory ghosts give this blockbuster the cherry on top by creating that essential spook factor. In short, this film is sure to become a Halloween classic.
4. "War of the Worlds"
Ray Ferrier's rare weekend with his kids is cruelly interrupted by an alien invasion, but not the sweet and innocent kind � these aliens are literally out for blood. As Ray and his children flee, the tripods swoop down to zap innocent bystanders and, toward the end of the movie, abduct them. This flick has all the elements of a great blockbuster: above-average acting, top-notch special effects and a bone-chilling basement scene in which a tripod uses searches for the trio with long probes and camera sensors. The sheer sound of the probe is disturbing enough. Though this is not his best performance, Tom Cruise's latest off-camera drama will be all forgotten in this climactic blockbuster.
5. "House at the End of the Street (H.A.T.E.S.)"
My rule of thumb is to never watch a movie that has a dull trailer. However, "H.A.T.E.S." has shown me that there are exceptions to every rule. "Hunger Games" heroine Jennifer Lawrence stars in the recent stereotypical film about a teenage girl moving into a house near the site of a double homicide. Predictably, the acting from all characters, including Lawrence, is overdone and the first half hour of the movie is laughably amateurish. However, eventually this flick becomes as gripping as the others on this list. The movie's numerous plot twists shock viewers and keep them in suspense. By the film's conclusion, its rocky start is forgotten, and it seems silly that anyone could hate "H.A.T.E.S."

Hi. I recently had problems downloading patches too, using the (Java)
Update Manager client. The thing would get so far, reporting
'Downloading updates', then just hang. I later noticed that one of the
patches was for the Update Manager client itself, so I tried selecting
just this one. That one worked, and the new version let me download and
install the others.

What evidence do Francis, Giles, and John have that the girls are lying?
1 Answer | Add Yours
For the most part in Act III, the three men offer analysis that undermines or at least forces one to examine the basis of spectral evidence that the girls have offered. Francis Nurse's petition is a document that can serve as evidence against the girls. It is a statement signed by 91 different people that neither Rebecca Nurse or Elizabeth Proctor are witches or engage in witchcraft. Corey is a part of this as well, suggesting very clearly and openly that the trial is not about witchcraft. Rather, it is about people like Putnam being able to garner more land and engineer their ability to take land from those who have been accused. Proctor arrives with Mary Warren, one of the girls in question, to offer testimony that Abigail and the other girls are operating out of the desire for power and control and do not represent the truth. In response to each of the mens' claims, the court offers the idea that anyone who speaks out against the court, and thus the girls' accusations, seeks to bring down the court. This "either you are with us or against us" mentality is how Danforth that court align themselves against the evidence and analysis that the three men in Act III offer as counter to the girls' claims of witchcraft.

Get Your Body Back After Pregnancy
After Pregnancy: Working Off the Pounds continued...
"There used to be many more 'don'ts' about exercising after pregnancy, now there are many more 'dos,'" says Fleming.
But how do you know if you're ready to begin an exercise program? ACOG recommends that you check with your doctor before starting, especially if you had a complicated pregnancy or delivery. That said, most experts agree you are free to begin a mild workout as soon as you feel up to it -- and you can keep up with the activity level.
"That's key, being able to keep up with whatever program you start. If you can't then either the program is too rigorous, or you're just not ready. Exercise should make you feel better, not worse," says Riley.
Post-Pregnancy Workouts: What Works!
Whether it's within six days or six weeks of delivering, ACOG experts say one of the easiest ways to begin a postpartum exercise routine is by walking. And you can even get baby in on the fun! Indeed, one of the more popular forms of organized new-mommy exercise involves walking stroller workouts.
"The idea is to use the stroller as a piece of fitness equipment and doing exercises that actually rely on the stroller, or workouts that can be done while your baby is in the stroller," says Lisa Druxman, founder of San Diego-based Stroller Strides, one of several nationwide programs devoted to helping new moms get back in shape.
If you think you're up for a more-challenging activity, Fleming says begin to add in the exercises you did in your third trimester of pregnancy - and then work backwards.
"You can start with what you did in the third trimester, then gradually add what you did in the second trimester, then the first, until you are back to doing what you did before pregnancy," says Fleming, who says the process should take between four and six months.
The one area where you might want to start on sooner rather than later, however, involves strength-training exercises to build a strong core, an area that Riley says many women neglect during pregnancy as well as during the postpartum.

Manual vs Program Mode
Based upon advice given on these boards, I have been experimenting with the different modes of shooting with my D7000. I'm finding that I get many more of what would be keepers when shooting in Manual mode (I set ISO, Aperture and shutter speed). I had never shot in manual before. Its actually almost as easy as program mode once you've done it a few times.
Keep all the good tips coming.
Visit my Nikonians gallery.
#1. "RE: Manual vs Program Mode" | In response to Reply # 0jmiguez Nikonian since 17th Oct 2010Mon 07-Feb-11 04:32 PM
I am just the opposite. I shoot 80-90% in program mode, only using aperture and speed when I need the additional control. I figure the camera is generally smarter than I am.
Since I shoot in RAW, I can adjust any but the most grievous of mistakes...like...misfocus.

I have just finished reading the 3rd of Scott Kelbys books and his recurring view on this is shoot Manual if you are in a studio with strobes and light meters. Shoot Program if you may have a quick shot come up and dont want flash to pop, shoot App or Shutter for the rest...........has worked for me so far......JMHO

#3. "RE: Manual vs Program Mode" | In response to Reply # 0chris_platt Nikonian since 03rd Apr 2009Mon 07-Feb-11 11:40 PM
It all depends.... I shoot manual if I'm taking a series for a pano. I shoot aperture priority most of the time - because I want to control DOF. I shoot shutter priority if I am walking around in the woods with a 50-500 OS - I keep the shutter speed at 400, leave OS on, and set auto ISO - it lets OS work wonders for me while hand-holding at 500mm. It all depends, but these cameras are darn smart and the D7000 is the smartest ever. The matrix metering works wonders, so do the scene modes - shoot aperture or shutter priority and add +EV for snow and beaches or shoot scene mode for snow and beaches and watch the miracle. There is no one right answer other than knowing the capabilities of the camera and taking charge when you know the camera may get confused or you know what the programmed answer is and you don't want that answer - that happens less and less as these cameras get smarter and smarter. IMO.

My standard mode is P with easy-ISO. This way, my rear dial controls aperture-speed balance (jogs between depth of field control and shutter speed selection as required, one way or the other) and the front dial selects ISO. I find this incredibly easy and fast.
However, when working with speedlights, I usually go Manual, to allow the fine balancing between foreground (flash-lit) and background (available light). I wish we had a third dial, to always have on hand the full exposure triangle...
The reason many will experience a greater ratio of keepers when working Mnual mode may have to do with these pictures being more carefully thought out and executed, not with any hidden virtue of the mode itself. Shutter speed and aperture will always be shutter speed and aperture, regardless of the selection method chosen. A good exposure, adequate to the subject, can be achieved in many ways, but the values will always be the same. Fast shutter for freezing, slow shutter for bluring, large aperture for bokeh, small aperture for big DOF, low ISO for low noise, high ISO for sensitivity. Choose the best combination of the three, and adjust overall exposure for the lighting available and measuring method used.
1. Good content, good aesthetics and good tecnique. On that order.
2. Light is more important than glass and pixels.
3. In the digital photography process, software is as important as gear.
#5. "RE: Manual vs Program Mode" | In response to Reply # 0
You can take your use of manual settings one step further by using Auto ISO. The camera does an excellent job of getting a good exposure by varying the ISO. And you still have the ability to use exposure compensation if the situation warrants. In this case, it is the ISO which is modified. The real benefit of this is that the camera always uses the minimum ISO to get a good exposure.
The advantage of Camera Manual is that you choose the f stop and aperture that you want and is appropriate for the situation. If you choose Aperture Priority, you may get an undesirable shutter speed. The reverse is true in Shutter Priority. In Program, the camera is choosing settings that may be perfect or totally inappropriate.
I do alot of sports and wildlife shooting. Being able to control both A and S gives me the desired end result. Other folks have different needs, but having control of the exposure is desirable from my point of view.

Manual mode based on what metering? How are your manual settings differing from what the camera is suggesting?

Welcome to WebmasterWorld Guest from 220.127.116.11
Seems to me the following is a key entry in the form. If consideration is going to be based on some formula based on spend, why ask? If this entry will play a part in the considerstion, then what a can of worms that is, as today's popular thread demonstrates.
* 3. Identify the percentage of the Claimant's total advertising expenditures associated with keywords that you believe were affected by click fraud:
I have been unable to find any discussion, here or anywhere, when it comes to making this entry. Albeit I have only been looking since last night and haven't been able to devote a whole lot of time to it. I found some discussion on what "the present" means in terms of the time frame under consideration, which I assume is when the settlement was announced, May 19 or 20. But nothing about this estimate.
There is a lot of discussion about whether Google's new tool is accurate or not, but not much if any about the estimate needed to file a claim. Is there a discussion on that I haven't turned up yet?
I just want to get the forms filled out and move on. But the analytic in me wants some basis for making the estimate entry. Rummaging through my clients log files is not an option.
I wanted to submit my own before dealing with clients. I went as far as the "estimate" and then bailed. Besides there is still a court approval pending, sometime this week, the hearing was scheduled for July 24, 25.
What a pain, Yahoo has apparently given Google a PR black eye on the handling of these fraud cases. I hear they are being very helpful while Google has thrown up a wall of "we can't comment".
I am a big Google fan. But sometimes they leave us on the front lines dangling. As in do no evil, but be very secretive about it.
Hope I get 1/3 of my money back. Of course at $10.00 a click it sure wont go far...
On msn I am actually paying for less than the number of uniques reported at the same merchant.
My guess is that Google doesn't care how many times the same person clicks your adwords ad... you pay for each time probably, unless it's a ridiculous number of times by the same person.
I agree, the better conversions on msn are probably due to lower click fraud.
When is the "present"? as in, "how much have you spent from 'certain date' until present?"
I understand the present to mean June 1, 2006. 6-1-06 is when I got the original notice anyway.
As it says at www.clicksettlement.com
For more information, please call (800) 899-6701 or (703) 637-0037
This evening is the time I had set aside to work on client claim forms; and it seems AdWords is down, crashed, and all around acting like a poorly behaved child - uncooperative and disruptive.
I am a Google fan, I say it often, but this whole invalid-click-fraud thing seems to be some bad JuJu, all the way around.
Makes me sad.
To estimate my percentage of click fraud I used the campaigns that I'm able to get exact data on uniques sent to any particular url. With that info I found that the fraud averaged out at 31%! However, there was one campaign in particular that was skewing things because it had 38% click fraud. (multiple clicks from the same person(s) I presume) So I brought the number down to 20% to be nice and submitted the claim.
Now we wait.

I grew up in Lexington, MA, which may explain in part my interest in colonial history. I retired a few years ago after 20 years as a computer programmer. I generally photograph colonial cemeteries or at least the oldest sections of them. I studied early New England history in the 90s. My cousins got me interested in genealogy a few years back. I've always loved photography.
I would like to thank everyone who has offered corrections and additions as any new information makes the memorials that much better. I always want more info.
Please, when offering corrections or additions, include the memorial number as I have created thousands.
And look at the rules set down by Find a Grave before asking for transfers.
Don't fuss about spellings. One person wants the modern version, another person wants an older versions. I can't please everyone.
I usually do all requests within 24 hours.
Feel free to use any of my photos. All I ask is that you credit me for taking them. Please email me if you're doing some for-profit thing. And do not post my photos from other websites to Find-a-Grave. Ask me to do it. Thanks!

Thanks Bill for adding the bio info for John Pierpont.
And I agree with you about these surname spellings- Pierpont/ Pierrpont/ Pierepont/ Pierpoint ...it can drive a person nuts. It should be up to all of us to search on findagrave using as many variations as you can think of (and you still won't find them all).
Thanks again.

Rev Benjamin Wadsworth Memorial# 50189387
I am a descendant of Capt. Samuel Wadsworth # 52300536 (via his son, Deacon Ebenezer Wadsworth # 29125652 ), and he is also the father of Rev. Benjamin Wadsworth. I was looking at the photo you have on Benjamin's memorial, and if you added a dark long wig and a beard to my dad...they could be twins. It is funny how family resemblances are carried down over the generations.

I saw the page you made for John A. Tufts. I am wondering if you are related to that family?
I was looking at old family bibles on EBay and saw one with record of John Tufts marriage in it and others in that family tree.
Then I went looking for someone who might be related in case they would be interested in this priceless old family bible.
Just search EBAY with this and you will find it=

Injuries curtailed Barry Owens' inter-county career
Updated: Thursday, 26 Jun 2014 12:19 | Comments
Retired Fermanagh footballer Barry Owens felt the time was right to hang up his boots after a series of injuries.
The two-time All Star confirmed his retirement after Saturday's loss to Laois in the qualifiers.
Owens, who had heart surgery in 2008, told RTÉ Sport: "It's been one I've been thinking about for the last couple of months, especially after the league finished.
"It's been nearly one injury after another. I had a hamstring injury just after the league and then I hurt the ankle as soon as that cleared up so it was on my mind anyway."
The 32-year-old added that having newborn twins at home also had a bearing on his decision.
"I've twins at home. I want to be able to run about with them in a few years. And the further I prolonged my career, you'd end up not being able to run about with them as much as you'd like to," he said.

SALT LAKE CITY, Utah – New integration between Service Manager Pro and ADP Lightspeed makes it possible for LightspeedNXT users to launch Service Manager Pro from within an existing repair order (RO).
Service Manager Pro, once launched within NXT, will provide labor times for a specified unit. Once labor operations are selected, they will automatically populate the RO and add up the total cost of labor, automatically recognizing any warranty repairs for that specific vehicle.
"When you have the OEM job code on a repair order, it will help in streamlining the filing of warranty claims and make our dealers more efficient," said Dave Johnson, manufacturer solutions manager with ADP Lightspeed. "This new integration will save our dealers several hours a month in filing warranty claims and help them build profitability by making sure they are billing consumers the right amount of time for a specific repair."
"With this type of integration, dealer principals and service managers have the ability to protect their service department profit margin," said C.R. Gittere, CEO of Service Manager Pro. "Service Manager Pro has a password-protected settings area that allows managers to set a multiplier for each vehicle type a manufacturer produces. This gives them great flexibility in maintaining their competitiveness in their area while making sure no one is giving work away."
This new functionality will be available in the coming weeks for dealers using LightspeedNXT's hosted solution and on the next full release from ADP Lightspeed. Service Manager Pro users may upgrade to the integrated system by contacting ADP Lightspeed.

Calmer Emotions at Rep. King's New Muslim Hearing
New York Rep. Peter King led a second hearing on the radicalization of U.S. Muslims on Tuesday, generating little of the anger and none of the tears produced at the first hearing in March.
King, the Republican chairman of the House Homeland Security Committee, has pledged to hold numerous hearings probing the extent of Islamic terrorist recruitment in the U.S. At the March session, one lawmaker, Rep. Keith Ellison (D., Minn.), wept as he defended fellow Muslim Americans, saying it was wrong to scapegoat an entire community for the acts of individuals.
Democrats and civil rights groups have accused King of leading a witchhunt reminiscent of the Joe McCarthy anti-communist hearings of the 1950s. King has dismissed the criticism as hysteria and pointed to instances of terrorist recruitment in New York, Minnesota and California.
"Countering Islamic radicalization should not be a partisan issue,'' he said in the opening remarks at Wednesday's hearing, which focused on radicalization within U.S. prisons.
Conversion to Islam has been a feature of prison life for decades, so much so that it is sometimes referred to as "Prislam'' by corrections officials. In the last decade the trend has come under increasing scrutiny, as concerns were raised not just about those who might be drawn to commit violence but also to the prison chaplains who counsel inmates.
Rep. Laura Richardson, a California Democrat, said "the focus of one particular group on the basis of race or religion can be deemed as racist and as discriminatory,'' arguing there were plenty of other inmate recruiting done by white supremacists and gangs.
That riled King, who shot back, "I disagree with the gentlelady 100%, she is entirely wrong.'' King added that the committee was created in response to the Sept. 11 attacks, and he said Democrats controlled it for four years without holding hearings on any of those prison groups.
Michael Downing, a counter-terrorism official with the Los Angeles Police Department, told the panel that within his area they receive more than a dozen tips a month about prison radicalization, which generates a handful of full-fledged investigations a year. "We have ongoing cases that involve convert prison radicals that are out in the community now, and that story can be told when the case is prosecuted,'' he said.
There was one emotional moment in the hearing –- but not on the issue of terrorism or Muslims. Rep. Hansen Clarke (D., Mich.) cited his upbringing in Detroit, where he watched some of his friends go to prison. He said the sentencing system is too expensive and destructive.
"You know what pisses me off here? I'm a damn member of Congress and my friends have rotted in prison… They've never been the same again,'' he said, imploring Tea Party Republicans to join him in reducing prison spending. "We've got to stop the waste — the waste of money, the waste of lives,'' he said.

Yesterday I went shopping with a personal stylist, which sounds really fancy, I know, but just bear with me before you start rolling your eyes back in your head.
See, I'm shooting more videos for Cafemom Studios next week and I need clothes. Or better, clothes that I can wear in public.
Okay, not even that. Clothes that I can wear on television.
In the last few months, I've put on a few pounds that even my "marathon training vegetarian diet not eating after 8pm only drinking water and four tons of coffee" regimen could help me with, so I have nothing that fits.
Well, I have a black pencil skirt, a black wrap around dress, and 40 pairs of shoes, as I told my new BFF-ish Carmen.
{I figure if a complete stranger I met on the Internet can see me half naked nd agree with my disdain for my choice in underpants then she earns the title of BFF-ish}
"I play urban chic on television," I said.
And it's true.
I work from home and chase around four kids so the way you see me in photos is not how I look on a daily basis.
I know this is a shocking, disappointing revelation because clearly all the photos you see of bloggers of themselves on their blogs are exactly how they look every single day (except maybe Tanis. She totally looks goofy all the time).
But truthfully, I've just been feeling really crappy about myself lately and bla bla bla wah wah wah I have no clothes.
So to save myself some time, I decided to hire Carmen to assist me in finding clothes, which was probably the best money I ever spent because she pre-shops for you, pulling a bunch of stuff at various stores, then you just show up, try stuff on, show her your terribly awful underpants and then leave two hours later with stuff that looks good and fits you, all within your budget.
But that's really not the point of all this because more importantly, I discovered that most of us are shopping for clothes incorrectly.
And I've always sort of known this, with vanity sizing and the ridiculous range in numbers in my closet, but when you see it all laid out in front of you in a big pile of mediums and larges, 10s and 12s, you really get it.
Which is something I think we all need to remember:
No one sees the size you're wearing. Or the spanx your squeezed into.
They see the way the clothes look on your body.
So stop shopping for clothes like penises, ladies, because size doesn't matter.

Hi all – I'm so happy to share a card that I created using a new set, Spring Basket, that Waltzingmouse Stamps will release THIS Thursday along with three other brand new stamps sets.
I just adore this new set by Claire mainly because of it's versatility. While we may think of eggs and baskets at Easter, with verses like this, it's easy to create a card that will be words of encouragement to someone who may be a little "down". This set contains many verses that make it easy to fit many occasions. You are going to love the other images this set contains that look so awesome placed within this and other basket options.
I stamped the image and used my Nestabilities to cut the circle and then used the Nesty as a mask for my airbrush giving color around the outside. I scored a series of lines on each edge using my new Scor-Buddy (getting a prototype from CHA is a perk of working the booth *wink*). From there I layered Prisma paper and Pure Luxury White with some added stitching and tied with some satin ribbon.
I really love this verse because it's a reminder that in those times when we have lost our faith, or are feeling abandoned, you have to give it all to God and let Him carry the load for us. By letting go and giving it over to God, we are free from the worries because our faith is that we no longer have to carry the burden, but only hand them over to Him. I stamped the verse onto white cardstock die cut with Fancy Tag die from Spellbinders and airbrushed for color.
If you haven't been to Belinda, Laurie, Anya or Julia's blogs, be sure to stop by because they have been showing previews of Claire's new sets all week. Lisa also has an amazing project to share with you today. And to top off the festivities on Thursday, the Waltzingmouse Design Team will hold a blog hop with prizes available so stay tuned!
Thank you for taking a moment from your day to take a look at my post.
|Stamps: Spring Basket (Waltzingmouse Stamps)
|Papers: Pure Luxury White (Gina K Designs), Iced Teal (Prism)
|Ink: Tuxedo Black and Rich Cocoa (Memento)
|Accessories: Stitching on Sew Mini, Small Circle Nestabilities, Aqua Mist Satin Ribbon (PTI), Scallop Trim Border Punch, Fancy Tags Nestabilities, Copic Markers and airbrush

Re: WWE Unleash the Fury
Monday Night Raw
Monday February 27, 2006
Fresno, California
Across the Nation hits and the Raw video superstars package plays along and then we fade out to the arena to the commentators team of Jerry Lawler, Jonathan Coachman, and Joey Styles
Joey Styles: Hello everybody and welcome to another exciting edition of Raw and a huge night lays ahead of us here with some big matches
Jonathan Coachman: To be honest I dont think Ive ever anticipated any night of Raw more than tonights show
Jerry Lawler: Well a good main event awaits us as the number one contender to the WWE Championship, Rob Van Dam will take on the champions manager Daivari
Joey Styles: That should be a intresting match to say the least and what part the champion Kurt Angle will play in it will be intresting
Jonathan Coachman: Dont worry because the champion would never cheat and I can personally guarantee that
Jerry Lawler: Sure Coach plus what will Shawn Michaels and Stone Cold have to say about their matches at Saturday Nights Main Event and WrestleMania?
Match #1
Money in the Bank Qualifying Match
Chris Masters vs Chavo Guerrero
Match Finish: An exciting opening match to say the least with the Intercontinental Champion, Masters, dominating the whole way through. Towards the end Masters starts to get worn down from Guerrero who starts focusing on the back for the Gory Bomb. Guerrero then gets Masters and finally goes for the Gory Bomb but he gets pushed off by the Masterpiece and Masters catches Guerrero as he turns around and locks in the Masterlock! Masters is tossing and turning Guerrero everywhere and eventually Guerrero passes out giving Masters the win
Winner: Chris Masters
Joey Styles: And welcome back from the break and if you missed the beginning of the show, the first Raw superstar for Money in the Bank was determined
Jonathan Coachman: Thats right! My main man The Masterpiece and the current Intercontinental Champion has qualified
Jerry Lawler: But how will Masters blend in this environment with the ladders and the thing is can he win the briefcase?
Joey Styles: Well hes going to find out his other competition later tonight because weve still got 2 Money in the Bank qualifying matches left
Jonathan Coachman: And also the #1 Contender to the WWE Championship, Rob Van Dam takes on the champions manager Daivari!
Jerry Lawler: That should certainly be intresting to see if the champion decides to try to even get involved in this matchup
We then cut backstage to see Chris Jericho standing by with Maria
Maria: Right now Im standing by with the man known as Walls of Jericho and Walls of Jericho you have anything to say?
Chris Jericho: Wrong name Maria because thats my finisher but yeah I have something to say and its involving John Ce
Maria: John Cena? Yeah I love John Cena to death because hes do
Chris Jericho: Save it assclown! Cena you think your cool now because you attacked me last week and laid me out with the F-U while I was trying to prove a point in the ring. Well your wrong and Ill prove that to you very soon because Ive had enough of being screwed and that is all about to end next week because you see I talked to the CEO, Vince McMahon and he told me next week you are going to have to overcome something, something that you most likely wont even survive and that is going to be a Hardcore Match
Maria: A hardcore match on Raw? I like hardcore action!
Chris Jericho: Save it Maria. You heard me right John Cenas going to be in a Hardcore Match next week and hes going to have to take on five men, five men he certainly doesnt even stand a chance against beating and five men he WILL NOT beat next week, those five men are the team of the Spirit Squad!
The Spirit Squad come jumping up and down and Jericho smiles while they are jumping up and down slapping hands with each other
Chris Jericho: Ok boys you know what to do next week and hey why dont you give us a little cheer for next week as a preview for the match between all five of you and John Cena?
Kenny: Ready OK!
Spirit Squad: Two Bits! Four Bits! Six Bits! A Dollar! All for the Spirit Squad in the Hardcore Match next week against John Cena, stand up and holler!
Crowd Boos
Match #2
The Big Show vs Rosey
Match Finish: Not a very good match as two big men try their best to put on a good match but it just isnt that great. Towards the end Jamal tries to get involved and he tosses Rosey one of the tag team belts to hit Big Show with. However the referee takes the belt from Rosey knowing what was about to happen and this pisses 3 Minute Warning off! Rosey gets back to his feet and then he turns right around into the hands of Kane and The Big Show as Kane comes in illegally and both Kane and Big Show nail a double chokeslam and Kane rolls out, One Two Three
Winner: The Big Show
Joey Styles: Big Show pinned Rosey tonight and that should definently boost Kane and Big Show back into the tag titles hunt
Jonathan Coachman: Why did the referee think 3 Minute Warning was cheating? They would never even think about cheating!
Jerry Lawler: Sure Coach but what about that huge Handicap Hardcore Match next week between John Cena and the Spirit Squad
Joey Styles: That certainly is not right and Jericho had planned the whole time and it wont be a even match between those men
Jonathan Coachman: What are you talking about? I guarantee you Cena has a even shot just like the Spirit Squad will next week
Jerry Lawler: Im not thinking that Coach and as far as I see it, it is definently going to be a 5on 1 situation the whole match
We cut backstage to see Carlito and Chris Masters talking
Chris Masters: You see that Carlito? You should have seen the athleticism I put on in my match against Chavo Guerrero!
Carlito: Athleticism? Dats Not Cool!
Chris Masters: Oh its not is it? Well you see Im in the Money in the Bank Ladder Match and Im the Intercontinental Champion so is that cool enough for you Carlito?
Carlito: No Masterpiece its not because Carlito says you stole my title and Carlito wants the title back from you Masterpiece
Chris Masters: No Carlito youve got it all wrong because this Intercontinental title (Masters holds it in front of Carlitos face and taunts) is certainly never going to be going back to the waist of you because as you say it, thats not cool!
Carlito: You know what cool is Masterpiece?
Chris Masters: No I dont!
Carlito: THIS!
Carlito lowblows Masterpiece and then pulls out his apple and then bites off of it before he chews it up real well in his mouth. Carlito then bends down and spits the apple all over the face of the Intercontinental Champion, Chris Masters.
Carlito: Now Dat, Dats Cool!
*We see the WrestleMania 22 logo flash across the screen and then we hear a voice speak*
Narrator: The following paid advertisement is to promote the upcoming World Wrestling Entertainment pay per view, WrestleMania 22. It will be live from Phoenix, Arizona in the US Airways Center on Sunday April 2, 2006
*We then cut out to a bar, we hear loud rock music playing before it dies down and then we cut backstage behind the curtains to see who was performing*
Chris Jericho: Great show guys!
*Jericho keeps on walking with his guitar and then walks around the backstage before he looks around and sees some of his co-workers in the back. Jericho then goes up to them and he says hi to them all before he continues on out the door and then a beer bottle comes flying at him*
Chris Jericho: Which one of you assclowns threw this at me?
*People look around and start to worry and then all of an sudden somebody points and he then points at an little geeky man. The man starts to panic not knowing what to do and then he starts to back up but Jericho stops him from doing so*
Chris Jericho: You throw this at me?
Man: No, I would never do that to you sir. I was just try...
Chris Jericho: Save it assclown!
*The man panics and Jericho then grabs the beer bottle and smashes it over the head of the man before he then jumps into his car and drives off. Jericho's driving down the road before he sees an huge sign saying "Welcome to Arizona" Jericho then turns out and heads over to the welcome center for some details*
Chris Jericho: Mam, can you tell me exact directions to the American West Arena? I need to know how to get there for WrestleMania
Desk Attendant: I'm sorry but I just moved here and I don't know too much about Phoenix but if you need anyth....
Chris Jericho: Well then what the hell are you doing behind that booth? If you don't know your way around, then get out!
Desk Attendant: I'm sorry sir but wo....
Chris Jericho: Would you please shut the hell up?
*Jericho then gets pissed and then decides to leave and then we cut out to see him getting closer and closer to Phoenix before he gets ready to take the exit. Jericho then looks and he can see the American West Arena from the bridge. He then takes the exit and then turns and starts heading down the road but then all of an sudden, an Hummer rams into him! Jericho's car is destroyed and the Hummer is fine and stops at the redlight. Jericho jumps out of the car and kicks it*
Chris Jericho: Damn it!
*A man then sticks his head out the window and it's revealed to be...John Cena!!!
John Cena: Sorry Jericho!
Chris Jericho: You son of a.....
*We then hear the narrator cutting Jericho out on purpose and he then starts to talk*
Narrator: WrestleMania Goes Big Time! Don't miss it Sunday April 2, 2006 from the US Airways Center in Phoenix, Arizona!
We cut back to the commentators at ringside
Joey Styles: What a great segment and Im getting pumped for WrestleMania 22 because weve got only five more weeks left!
Jonathan Coachman: Its going to be a huge show and I can personally guarantee you that it will be the best WrestleMania ever!
Jerry Lawler: Five huge matches already announced and Smackdown gives us Batista taking on the Undertaker in what is a true dream match!
Joey Styles: Plus the World-Heavyweight Championship will be defended as Edge takes on his own brother, Christian!
Jonathan Coachman: And an huge Inter-Promotional match as Money in the Bank returns with three Smackdown stars and two more Raw stars along with the Masterpiece
Jerry Lawler: And Raw brings to you Shawn Michaels vs Triple H but the main event, Kurt Angle defends the WWE Championship against Rob Van Dam!
Match #3
Trish Stratus, Mickie James, and Ashley Massaro vs Victoria, Torrie Wilson, and Candice
Match Finish: Decent Womens match and used for buildup for the feud that Trish, Mickie, and Ashley have had for the past few months. Towards the end Victoria attacks Ashley and goes for the Widows Peak but Trish comes in and so does Torrie and Candice. Trish does the Matrix then nails the Spinning Headscissors before Mickie drops down and nails Candice with the Mick Kick and Victoria gets rolled up by Ashley. Both Trish and Mickie make sure that Torrie and Candice cant come back in and the cover, One Two .Three
Winners: Trish Stratus, Ashley Massaro, and Mickie James
Right after the match all three ladies celebrate and out of nowhere, Mickie James gets into an argument with Ashley Massaro. Ashley says why did you not cost the match tonight and this pisses Mickie off! Mickie snaps and then does a Mick Kick onto the Womens Champion friend and Mickie stares at Ashley on the mat. Trish then asks Mickie to look and she what she has done to their friend but Mickie then grabs Trish and runs off the ropes and nails the Running Bulldog and Mickie then drops down to the mat and grabs the Womens Championship
Mickie James: Whos the bitch now Trish?
Mickie James then jumps out quickly of the ring and then makes her way up the ramp cocky and all the fans are booing the hell out of her. She has a cocky smile on her face and we cut back into the ring to check on Ashley and Trish who are both layed out in the ring and we then head straight to another commercial
Sexy Boy hits and The HeartBreak Kid Shawn Michaels comes out dancing to the music and he continues on down the ramp and slides into the ring before he does a pose. Michaels then asks for a mic and he receives one before the music dies down and we are hearing loud H B K chants all across the arena
Shawn Michaels: Hello Fresno!
Cheap Pop
Shawn Michaels: Now last week here on Raw it was announced that at WrestleMania 22 I would be taking on The Game Triple H! And at Saturday Nights Main Event, my friend Stone Cold Steve Austin would be taking on Triple H and if Austin wins, he will become the Special Enforcer for the match at WrestleMania
Crowd Pops
Shawn Michaels: And this whole plan was all Triple Hs idea. So Hunter when you get beaten at Saturday Nights Main Event by Stone Cold you will know that we told you in advance to be prepared because we told you you were going to lose!
Crowd Pops
Shawn Michaels: But everybody has been asking the whole week how do you feel about your match that you have against Triple H at WrestleMania? Well its simple and I can describe it with one word to sum it all up, Confident! Im confident because I tell you I will indeed beat Triple H at WrestleMania and that right there, that is not a promise but a guarantee
Crowd Pops
Shawn Michaels: And theres certainly a reason why they all call me not only The Showstopper not only The Heart Break Kid not only Boy Toy and theres certainly a reason why they not only call me Mr. WrestleMania and thats because at WrestleMania I steal the show and thats been proven in the past such as last year against Kurt Angle. Maybe I didnt win but I put on one hell of a match
H B K Chants Break Out
Shawn Michaels: So what Im getting at is at WrestleMania, I dont need luck to win, I dont need to have St
Triple H interrupts Michaels and we cut up to the titantron to see Triple H
Triple H: Whoa hold it there Michaels because I thought you were about to say you didnt need Stone Cold Steve Austin to help you win the match at WrestleMania! Because if thats what you are trying to say then you are lying because it doesnt matter if Austin is at ringside, I will still beat your ass at the grandest stage of them all
Crowd Boos
Shawn Michaels: Oh is that so Hunter? Well you keep on thinking that because I dont need Stone Cold Steve Austin to win. Hell hes not even here tonight because hes been partying all week and couldnt even stand coming to work and I could still beat you in a match right here and right now in this very ring!
Crowd Pops Wanting this Match
Triple H: First off these people are not even worthy of seeing me wrestle here and second Im not going to risk injury before WrestleMania. Weve got five weeks left, five weeks for you to think about how you are going to cope with your loss to me, the Game at WrestleMania, five weeks to think about how your going to wrestle without Stone Cold Steve Austin not even being there and five weeks to think about me ending your career
Crowd Boos
Triple H: Ill see you here next week Boy Toy!
We then cut back to ringside to the commentators table
Joey Styles: Well a long night it has been so far and Im ready to see what else lies ahead for the Road to Phoenix for WrestleMania 22!
Jonathan Coachman: So many bumps in the road and so many things that have to be settled before we head to WrestleMania
Jerry Lawler: Well still to come tonight, weve got two Money in the Bank Qualifying matches where the winner moves onto WrestleMania!
Joey Styles: I can guarantee you whoever makes it into Money in the Bank sure is going to have to work hard to get past the other five men
Jonathan Coachman: Im interested to see what Masters can do in the ladder environment and Im sure he can do something huge
Jerry Lawler: Plus our main event as Rob Van Dam takes on Kurt Angles manager Daivari as a tune up for RVD
We cut backstage to see John Cena standing in front of where interviews are normally conducted and we hear loud pops from the crowd before Cena starts talking
John Cena: Chris Jericho thinks he is going to toss obstacles in my way such as this Handicap Hardcore Match next week against the Spirit Squad? Well let me tell you all something and that is I dont back down from any challenge nor any fight. And I sure as hell wont back down from Chris Jericho whenever the time comes for the two of us to get it on inside of that ring whether it be next week or sometimes down the road
Crowd Pops
John Cena: So let Jericho run his mouth, let him put me in matches he doesnt think I even stand a chance in and the outcome will be the same with the Chain Gang Soldiers all supporting me and giving me the push to the top, the push that will eventually lead me back to becoming the next WWE Champion whenever that time comes
Crowd Pops
John Cena: And let me address something to the Spirit Squad because all five of you little gay ass cheerleaders think your going to beat me, well let me drop a freestyle right here for all five of you and Jericho
Crowd Pops
John Cena: Next Week Ive got a Hardcore Match against the Spirit Squad
Hell Im facing those gay cheerleaders who play with each others rod
Youve got Kenny who thinks hes the best there is
The only thing he can do is lick Jerichos piss
Then youve got that other one, his name is Nicky
Damn Jericho what have you been doing, you gave him a hickey
Come on guys you need to leave Johnny alone
All of you are getting too close to his private zone
And where in the hell did you find Mikey, on the streets?
Oh my God! What in the hell is that on those bed sheets?
Wait, theres one more left and his name is Mitch
Next week Ill make all five of you my own personal bitch!
Match #4
Money in the Bank Qualifying Match
Shelton Benjamin vs Gregory Helms
Match Finish: Very competitive match and the fans are into the match the whole time through as it is very fast paced throughout. Towards the end things start to get intresting and the fans are interested to see who wins and goes onto WrestleMania. Helms goes for a Shining Wizard but Benjamin ducks and then Benjamin charges at Helms in the corner and nails a Stinger Splash before he comes back and grabs Helms going for the T-Bone Suplex! However Helms rolls out of it and then goes to kick Benjamin but Benjamin catches the foot of Helms and then gets a cradle, One Two Three
Winner: Shelton Benjamin
We then cut back to the commentators at ringside
Joey Styles: Shelton Benjamin has qualified for the Money in the Bank Ladder Match at WrestleMania 22 and one spot remains for Raw
Jonathan Coachman: Benjamin and Chris Masters are the two Raw participants in the match so far but who will join them?
Jerry Lawler: Well Masters and Benjamin have had their differences and it dates back to last weeks Intercontinental title match
Joey Styles: During the match Benjamin almost had the title won but Masters dropped out of the ring and headed up the ramp
Joey Styles: Masters was afraid he was going to lose the title to Benjamin and he almost did if he wouldnt have left
Jonathan Coachman: Hes just protecting the title as he didnt want the fans to be forced to see Shelton Benjamin as champion
Jerry Lawler: Shelton Benjamin as champion would be a whole lot better than seeing Chris Masters as the champion and leaving matches
We come back from the break and we open to a blank screen before the 2006 Hall of Fame logo comes across the screen and it stays there for a moment. We then head out as we hear a voice start to talk to announce the next inductee
Narrator: The Macho Man .
Images of Randy Savage winning the Intercontinental title from Tito Santana in 1986
Narrator: A Intercontinental Champion and WWF Champion .
Images of Savage retaining his title plus images of his match against Ricky The Dragon Steamboat from WrestleMania 3 are shown

We see the 2006 Hall of Fame logo come across the screen followed by in letters Randy Savage and we then listen to the narrator one more time
Narrator: The Macho Man Randy Savage!!!
We then cut back to ringside to the commentators
Joey Styles: Randy Macho Man Savage entering the Hall of Fame and the man inducting him is his brother, Leaping Lanny Poffo
Jonathan Coachman: Cant wait to see Savage being inducted plus Bret The Hitman Hart enters this year being inducted by Jim The Anvil Neidhart, Brets brother in law
Jerry Lawler: Plus Brets brother, Owen Hart will enter the same year and that definently will be emotional as inducting him will be his widow, Martha Hart
Joey Styles: Both Bret and Owen being inducted in the same year should mean a lot to whole Hart family and I can guarantee that
Jonathan Coachman: Plus the late great Eddie Guerrero will be getting inducted this year into the Hall of Fame
Jerry Lawler: And inducting Eddie will be none other than his two friends Rey Mysterio and Chris Benoit plus his nephew, Chavo Guerrero
Match #5
Money in the Bank Qualifying Match
Carlito vs Ric Flair
Match Finish: Despite the promo between Masters and Carlito earlier in the night, Carlito is still a heel and he just wants the Intercontinental title from Masters. A good match between these two former rivals with the winner earning the final spot for Money in the Bank. Carlito trips up Flair and then taunts Flair attempting to lock in Flairs finisher, the Figure Four Leg Lock but Flair gets up before Carlito can do it. Flair then tumbles right into the arms of Carlito who catches him and nails the Inverted Neckbreaker, One Two Three!
Winner: Carlito
We then cut over to the commentators at ringside
Joey Styles: So now Raw has its three Money in the Bank participants and they all have bad blood with each other
Jonathan Coachman: Despite being former friends, Carlito and Chris Masters have had their differences in the past month
Jerry Lawler: And the whole purpose was over Masterss title which Benjamin has been coming after also
Joey Styles: Plus Carlito won his first Intercontinental title back during the summer of last year from Benjamin when he came to Raw
Jonathan Coachman: And Raw certainly has a great chance to win the Money in the Bank with these three young talented athletes
Jerry Lawler: No matter who Smackdown puts in this match, there is no way they will beat anybody that Raw offers in the match
We then cut backstage to see Rob Van Dam standing by with Todd Grisham
Todd Grisham: Rob, in a few moments you will be facing off with the WWE Champion Kurt Angles manager Daivari, how are you feeling heading into this match?
Rob Van Dam: Todd Im feeling very well and Im ready because this is a new RVD that the fans havent been able to see because Ive been held back to the Intercontinental title and tag titles in the past but now, Im coming for the WWE Championship!
Todd Grisham: Rob it was about a month that you made your return and then came back and won the Royal Rumble which many people have considered a fluke, what do you think about this?
Rob Van Dam: Anybody can say that Im a fluke, that Im a spotty wrestler and that Im out there just to wrestle. That used to be the old me but Kurt Angle has brought out something inside of me that wont be hidden and it all starts tonight when I defeat Daivari
Todd Grisham: Rob one more thing before you leave and that is what is your view on being in the main event at WrestleMania for the first time ever
Rob Van Dam: Ive wrestled at WrestleMania before and its never even been a high profile match and with me missing last years WrestleMania, thats even more of a reason for me to come out and win the WWE Championship at this years WrestleMania in Phoenix!
Todd Grisham: Thanks RVD and good luck!
Match #6
Rob Van Dam vs Daivari w/ Kurt Angle
Match finish: Decent match but RVD carries Daivari throughout the match most of the time and Angle tries to get involved by distracting the referee. At the end of the match, Angle tries to get into the ring but the referee stops him and then this gives Daivari time to nail a low blow before he climbs up onto the top turnbuckle. Daivari then gains his balance and then comes off the ropes going for a Leg Drop but RVD rolls away and Daivari hits the mat hard. RVD then dropkicks Daivari in the face before running off the ropes and doing the Rolling Thunder and then climbing to the top turnbuckle. RVD then sees Angle coming and punches at him before he jumps off the turnbuckle and connects with the Five Star Frog Splash! One Two Three

Skill Level Intermediate
Now just in case at this point you're thinking, "What the heck! Why would I ever use a Dolly anymore if this magical tool can stabilize handheld footage, and what's the use of any of the other stabilization tools that you get in After Effects like the built-in Tracker or mocha AE?" Let's take a look at those questions. To do that, we're going to take a look at this clip, which seems very similar to the others, but with some key differences. Warp Stabilizer can do a lot, but one thing it cannot do is remove motion blur, and this clip happens to have a lot of it.
Let's see what happens if I try stabilizing this clip. So stabilizing the shot, if anything, actually enhances the appearance of the motion blur. it's now much more distracting than it was before. At the time that I recorded this, there was no publicly available tool in the world that can remove it automatically. Therefore, if you're in a shooting situation that you know is going to require stabilization, it's certainly a good idea to raise the shutter speed of the camera to minimize motion blur.
There are even tools like ReelSmart Motion Blur that will allow you to add missing motion blur after the fact. So the first big limitation with Warp Stabilizer is that it simply cannot remove motion blur. Also, you may not know the uber key shortcut in After Effects. That's its shorthand title. If you press UU on the keyboard with a layer selected like this, if there are any keyframes they're revealed. I just clicked UU. I'll do it again and no keyframes are appearing.
There are no keyframes created by Warp Stabilizer at all. You can keyframe individual properties, but this effect itself is almost like a black box. It really creates data and uses it how it wants to use it and gives you a final shot. That means you have fewer options to work with that data after the fact. So just as a point of comparison, let's look at the old way to stabilize a shot. I am going to delete Warp Stabilizer and I am going to use the Tracker to stabilize the shot.
One reason I am bringing this up is it's now a little bit hard to find this feature. If I right-click on the layer, the Track Motion option will get me the Tracker, but Stabilize Motion, whether I choose it over there or over here, is going to bring up Warp Stabilizer. In fact, what I have to do is change the Track Type here to Stabilize. That's where it lives. So I am going to go ahead and do that. And let me choose something really big and obvious and easy to track. I am going to make a big track region. And let's just do his sleeve and let's suppose that we're going to stabilize the shot around that.
So I am going to go ahead and analyze this forward. And with that analysis completed, I can apply that, say OK, and lo and behold, I have keyframes. Let's take a look at that result. This scene is now stabilized just around that one point that I chose. Now there are cases where that could be valuable. So the whole scene isn't looking stable but that one point is holding in place and I have keyframe data. Now with this data, I could go ahead and work on that one area of the frame and then replace the motion back in.
It's beyond the scope of this course to show you how to do that, but I am really just making the point that it is an option that you do have with other forms of tracking that you really just don't have with Warp Stabilization. So although Warp Stabilizer is a revolutionary tool, you can only take advantage of it in specific situations. It helps if the motion on the shot isn't too crazy and it helps even more to use a high shutter speed and avoid cameras with a CMOS chip where possible. For cases where you want actual tracking data to work with or you want to make the motion of one layer match a point or plane from another shot, there are other older tools built into After Effects that remain more useful.

Trott takes three
Warwickshire's Jonathan Trott took three wickets for the England Performance Programme squad before bad light and rain brought an early close to day three of their match against the MRF XI in Chennai.
Occasional seamer Trott was introduced as first change as the hosts continued their reply to England's 498 for seven declared in this four-day game.
After Graham Onions had broken a first-wicket stand of 97, Trott ended a century partnership for the second when he got rid of opener Manjula Fernando (92).
One of Trott's main aims for his time on the Performance Programme was to work on his bowling, and his efforts paid dividends against the Indian opposition.
Glamorgan youngster and BBC young sports personality of the year nominee James Harris also grabbed a wicket, while Trott took two more to take his figures to 3-50.
But no-one could shift number three Subrmania Siva, who hit 12 fours in his unbeaten 102 from 172 balls out of a total of 309 for five.

ON KungFu scarf
2 Attachment(s)
My son is very much into KungFu--learning and teaching--so I wanted to make him something that involved that. He gave the boys shirts that had YinYangs and Mantis on them, so I started a scarf in the round with a mantis on one side and the yin yang on the other. I'll do the same on the other end. I didn't knit the intarsia in the round, I just joined when I finished the motifs.
It's a little bumpy, but I haven't done any adjusting on the back, yet.
It's made with Plymouth Encore dk.
That is SO cool, Ingrid!! I'm sure that your son will love it!!
That is very cool!
I love that very cool..
OK - I dont know WHERE my head is this mornin, but the first time I read that, it said "YinYang on one side and MARTINIS on the other". I looked at the scarf (AWESOME, btw!) and was like "What the h-e-double-hockeysticks kind of martinis is SHE drinkin???" :rollseyes: :oops:
Actually, I think the question should be what kind of martinis were YOU drinking! :roflhard:
ooh neato!!!
How cool Ingrid! You just make the coolest stuff. :inlove:
Or maybe what kind of martinis do I WISH I was drinkin!!! Freudian slip there!!
Ingrid...so very, very 8-) cool 8-) !! I LOVE it!!!! You are so ingenious

The National Security Agency is gathering nearly 5 billion records a day on the whereabouts of cellphones around the world, according to top-secret documents and interviews with U.S. intelligence officials, enabling the agency to track the movements of individuals -- and map their relationships -- in ways that would have been previously unimaginable.
The records feed a vast database that stores information about the locations of at least hundreds of millions of devices, according to the officials and the documents, which were provided by former NSA contractor Edward Snowden. New projects created to analyze that data have provided the intelligence community with what amounts to a mass surveillance tool.
The NSA does not target Americans' location data by design, but the agency acquires a substantial amount of information on the whereabouts of domestic cellphones "incidentally," a legal term that connotes a foreseeable but not deliberate result.
One senior collection manager, speaking on condition of anonymity but with permission from the NSA, said "we are getting vast volumes" of location data from around the world by tapping into the cables that connect mobile networks globally and that serve U.S. cellphones as well as foreign ones. Additionally, data is often collected from the tens of millions of Americans who travel abroad with their cellphones every year.
In scale, scope and potential impact on privacy, the efforts to collect and analyze location data may be unsurpassed among the NSA surveillance programs that have been disclosed since June. Analysts can find cellphones anywhere in the world, retrace their movements and expose hidden relationships among individuals using them.
U.S. officials said the programs that collect and analyze location data are lawful and intended strictly to develop intelligence about foreign targets.
Robert Litt, general counsel for the Office of the Director of National Intelligence, which oversees the NSA, said "there is no element of the intelligence community that under any authority is intentionally collecting bulk cellphone location information about cellphones in the United States."
The NSA has no reason to suspect that the movements of the overwhelming majority of cellphone users would be relevant to national security. Rather, it collects locations in bulk because its most powerful analytic tools -- known collectively as CO-TRAVELER -- allow it to look for unknown associates of known intelligence targets by tracking people whose movements intersect.
Still, location data, especially when aggregated over time, is widely regarded among privacy advocates as uniquely sensitive. Sophisticated mathematical techniques enable NSA analysts to map cellphone owners' relationships by correlating their patterns of movement over time with thousands or millions of other phone users who cross their paths. Cellphones broadcast their locations even when they are not being used to place a call or send a text.
CO-TRAVELER and related tools require the methodical collection and storage of location data on what amounts to a planetary scale. The government is tracking people from afar into confidential business meetings or personal visits to medical facilities, hotel rooms, private homes and other traditionally protected spaces.
"One of the key components of location data, and why it's so sensitive, is that the laws of physics don't let you keep it private," said Chris Soghoian, principal technologist at the American Civil Liberties Union. People who value their privacy can encrypt their emails and disguise their online identities, but "the only way to hide your location is to disconnect from our modern communication system and live in a cave."
The NSA cannot know in advance which tiny fraction of 1 percent of the records it may need, so it collects and keeps as many as it can -- 27 terabytes, by one account, or more than double the text content of the Library of Congress's print collection.
The possibility that the intelligence community has been collecting location data, particularly of Americans, has long concerned privacy advocates and some lawmakers. Three Democratic senators -- Ron Wyden of Oregon, Mark Udall of Colorado, and Barbara Mikulski of Maryland -- have introduced an amendment to the 2014 defense spending bill that would require U.S. intelligence agencies to say whether they have ever collected or made plans to collect location data for "a large number of United States persons with no known connection to suspicious activity."
NSA Director Keith Alexander disclosed in Senate testimony in October that the NSA had run a pilot project in 2010 and 2011 to collect "samples" of U.S. cellphone location data. The data collected were never available for intelligence analysis purposes, and the project was discontinued because it had no "operational value," he said.
Alexander allowed that a broader collection of such data "may be something that is a future requirement for the country, but it is not right now."
The number of Americans whose locations are tracked as part of the NSA's collection of data overseas is impossible to determine from the Snowden documents alone, and senior intelligence officials declined to offer an estimate.
"It's awkward for us to try to provide any specific numbers," one intelligence official said in a telephone interview. An NSA spokeswoman who took part in the call cut in to say the agency has no way to calculate such a figure.
An intelligence lawyer, speaking with his agency's permission, said location data are obtained by methods "tuned to be looking outside the United States," a formulation he repeated three times. When U.S. cellphone data are collected, he said, the data are not covered by the Fourth Amendment, which protects Americans against unreasonable searches and seizures.
The agency's access to carriers' networks appears to be vast.
"Many shared databases, such as those used for roaming, are available in their complete form to any carrier who requires access to any part of it," said Matt Blaze, an associate professor of computer and information science at the University of Pennsylvania. "This 'flat' trust model means that a surprisingly large number of entities have access to data about customers that they never actually do business with, and an intelligence agency -- hostile or friendly -- can get 'one-stop shopping' to an expansive range of subscriber data just by compromising a few carriers."

A downtown Ravenna site that housed a movie theater a century ago is expected to house a theater again.
Neighborhood Development Services Inc. has closed on the former Paul's Lumber building on North Chestnut Street. NDS plans to renovate it into a multiplex theater, and to demolish the Portage Tire building behind it.
On Feb. 14, 1914, the Victory Theatre opened on the same Meridian Street parcel. The Lee family purchased the site shortly thereafter and renamed it Lee's Theater. The site later became the site of the Ohio Theater, which was in operation for many years until being razed in 1960, according to The Ravenna Record.
The theater would be the first movie house in Ravenna since 1967, when the New Ravenna Theatre closed.
Mike Bogo of NDS said the 20,000-square-foot, eight-screen multiplex, tentatively set to be named the Ravenna Theater, is expected to draw 100,000 visitors a year. NDS also renovated an eight screen theater in Barberton, which is doing well, he noted.

Cost of Margaret McDermott Bridge increases by $12 million, but city to cover with private money, 'value engineering'
At Thursday's meeting of the Regional Transportation Council in Arlington, it was revealed that the so-called "signature elements" of the Margaret McDermott Bridge will cost about $12 million more than expected, increasing its price tag from around $102.6 million to $114.9 million. Turns out, it's not cheap to dress up the new Interstate 30 bridge, much less make it hikeable and bikeable.
The city of Dallas says it will cover the cost overrun using private money, bond funds and "value engineering" intended to reduce the high price of remaking the so-called Horseshoe. Those figures are revealed in Monday's Trinity River Corridor Project Council Committee meeting agenda: The Trinity Trust will kick in $5 million, while the Dallas Foundation will add $450,000 to the so-called IH30 Bridge Donation Fund into which private donations are deposited.
Dallas City Manager Mary Suhm says today that $1.9 million will be added to the pile from bond funds set aside for public art projects.
"We've also reduced the cost by $3.8 million," she says, referring to "value engineering" being done on the second of Santiago Calatrava's "iconic" bridges over the Trinity River. When asked to explain what she means, Suhm points to the first Calatrava bridge: "On the Margaret Hunt Hill Bridge, some of the pipes in the deck that drain water were originally stainless steel, and they were changed to PVC. That was the value engineering."
She says they're still trying to determine how to cut costs on the I-30 bridge.
"When we got those prices back in December, we looked at the value engineering and if there were people who could help us," says Suhm. "We also looked to see if we had any additional private money. And we had $450,000 at the Dallas Foundation for [other related] bridge projects."
Suhm says construction on the Dallas Horseshoe — which includes the McDermott bridge, the Interstate 35 bridge and the downtown Canyon — will begin and May; it's expected to last four years.
And the design is complete: Suhm says it will still feature two arches, each 1,125 feet long. She says they'll be 286 feet high "from the deck of the bridge," which is more or less three-quarters the height of the Margaret Hunt Hill Bridge's arch.
"And that length means it goes almost all the way from one levee to the other," says Suhm. "It's a big arch."
Alas, for now the plan is still to put a bicycle component on one side of the 15-lane bridge and the pedestrian component on the other.
"If we raise additional money in the spring, we'll do both on both sides," says Suhm. "But I can't do that right now."

Cardinal Dominance - Your #1 source for exclusive insider recruiting, videos, interviews, wallpaper photo albums and reports of Louisville Athletics!
One of Florida's Best dt's in this 2013 Class is playing Tonight in The Offense vs Defense All Star Game In Houston's Reliant Stadium.The Game will be broadcast live at 8:00 pm on Comcast Cable TV.
There are a couple of more star prospects playing in this game that are looking at Louisville.
James Hearns a UF commit that is still looking around and has the Cards in His top 4 schools.The Tallahassee Lincoln Star Player is the # 8 olb prospect in the Nation.
Jamal Carter cb/wr a UM commit that is still looking around.The Star player from Miami Southridge has a good relationship with Recruiting Coordinator Clint Hurtt and Louisville will be recruiting Him till signing day.
Lamar Robbins cb/wr Has not committed yet but our sources in Miami are telling Me that Coach Hurtt has a great chance in landing the star prospect who is a cousin of CB Andrew Johnson
Taj Williams wr Solid 4 star prospect from Tallahasse who Coach Ron Dougans has been recruiting for 2 years and has a great relationship with.Alabama,FSU are recruiting Him hard and Taj has said Loisville is in the Mix.
Stay tune to cd to bring you the latest from Florida on Card Prospects.
Views: 371
My take is Taj is not coming over here!!! But You never know.
Dustin, my take is that we are only taking one of the 2. The staff should have a pretty good take on Quick, so if Taj says he wants to commit it is of my believe the staff would put him on hold until Quick's decision. JMO!
Hopefully Quick declares first so we don't spurn a good WR and end up empty. Taj plays saftey, too I think, but I'm guessing he is playing WR in college.
Derrick Calloway just committed to Louisville on TV at the O-D All American Game in Houston.
We don't deal in rumors at CD,Once again our sources are right !!!
Good call, Di. Does this affect our chances with Bain?
Don't think it affects Bain one way or the other. Calloway will probably be a NT and Bain would be the other.
None at all..Like " T " Said..The Staff will not close the door on a talent like Bain!!! Remember CCS likes to build His teams from the inside out.You never have enough stud linemen.
I could see it now. Derrick Calloway and Marquedius Bain being bookends at DT. Like TJ said, I can also see the scenario where Bain would be the DT and Calloway would be the NT. If that comes to life, we would be almost impossible to stop. Calloway played a good game in the O-D All-Star Game, a true nose guard in every sense of the word. The future looks bright for us. A word of advice to Jason Hatcher, stay home for your own good. GO CARDS!!!

Santa Eulalia mapping and interactives
Mapping historical brands
Openframeworks | Kinect | Arduino
..with Onionlab
With the new store opening on Passeig de Gràcia, Barcelona,
Santa Eulalia organised the exhibition titled "Santa Eulalia 1943–2011.168 years of history".
It showed the brand's evolution from its inception in 1943 up to the present day through a 300-metre printed stretch fabric as well as several audiovisual pieces.
We produced the exhibition's audiovisual content whose highlight was a mapping on two mannequins, a female mannequin in a replica of an 1843 dress and a male mannequin in a suit tailored by Santa Eulalia.
To carry out part of the 3D projection mapping in the building, we have created a system to map and project onto moving objects.
