After years of on-again, off-again attempts at a comeback, Peter Forsberg has signed with the Colorado Avalanche and will see his first NHL action since 2008.
It's easy to see the negatives when a 37-year-old, who hasn't played more than 60 games in a season since 2002-2003, tries to recapture his glory in the greatest league in the world, but I lean towards expecting a positive outcome.
Years of foot injuries make Forsberg a risky addition, to be sure, because all it could take is one tweak, one awkward twist and all of his progress could be for naught.
But, if we accept that injury is always going to be a major risk that could undermine this effort, it's worth at least taking a moment to assume that Forsberg can remain relatively healthy and maybe play 25 of Colorado's remaining 30 games.
Forsberg joins an Avalanche team that is four points out of a playoff spot and missing a couple of scoring forwards.
Peter Mueller, who has recently returned to practice, has been out all year after suffering another concussion in the preseason.
Considering his production after he was acquired from Phoenix at the trade deadline last year (20 points in 15 games), Mueller's return would certainly give the Avs a boost in their top six forwards.
Tomas Fleischmann had been a productive addition (21 points in 22 games) since coming over from Washington, but then suffered a pulmonary embolism, ending his season.
As it is right now, though, the Avs have Kevin Porter and David Jones skating in top six roles. While both can be solid players -- Jones ranks fourth on the team with 16 goals -- it's also entirely possible to upgrade those spots.
Leaving Mueller out of the equation for the time being, given the complexities of concussion recovery, it would seem easy enough for Forsberg to bump Porter (four points in his last 17 games) from the top six, which would both provide Forsberg ample opportunity to score and, playing left wing, it might be easier than trying to take on the full-ice responsibilities that he was typically responsible for in his prime as a centre.
So, while it's asking a lot for Forsberg to return and become an impact player in the NHL again, isn't it at least possible that a player who averaged 1.25 points per game in the first 706 games of his NHL career has enough skill and savvy that he can make up for the lost production of Tomas Fleischmann?
As long as Forsberg is in the lineup, he figures to make his linemates better; that should mean more scoring opportunities for either Paul Stastny or Matt Duchene down the middle and either Milan Hejduk, Chris Stewart or Jones on the wing.
For fantasy owners, it's so unusual to have access to a player with point-per-game potential on the waiver wire at this point in the season that Forsberg's upside is well worth using top waiver priority or a significant portion of your remaining waiver budget. The cynic will note that he's more even more valuable if your league has an IR spot that you can stash him if his foot problems return.

Garbo talks!
Eighty two years ago.
"In 1952 stage shows ceased to be held." On Dec 24, 1952 the film "Against All Flags" opened at the Capitol with a stage show featuring Johnnie Ray, Gary Morton, Georgia Gibbs and Ray Anthony and his orchestra. [NY Times, Nov 18, 1952: Column, "Of Local Origin" The column also states that "According to the management, this marks the the first time in a year and a half that the theatre has offered a stage and screen show. Stage and screen shows will be presented at the Capitol whenever the proper stage attractions can be booked, a spokesman for the house said yesterday." My friends and I, all junior high students and big Johnnie Ray fans saw this stage show about 15 times! The stage show continued into January 1953.
Wow what a show and a movie too!! Inagine the choice for a New Yorker at that time. One movie palace after another to attend on any given day, Thanks Tinseltoes for the history lession..
Sixty-four years ago today, Columbia's B&W romantic comedy, "Her Husband's Affairs," starring Lucille Ball and Franchot Tone, opened its NYC premiere engagement at the Capitol as part of the theatre's 28th anniversary celebration. But the BIG news was on the Capitol's stage, with Frank Sinatra in his first Broadway engagement since becoming synonomous with the rival Paramount Theatre. Sinatra was now under movie contract to MGM, whose parent company ran the Capitol Theatre. Supporting Sinatra at the Capitol were comedian Lorraine Rognan and pianist Skitch Henderson & His Orchestra. An extra added stage attraction was the Will Mastin Trio, featuring Sammy Davis,Jr. Hey, who knew?
Wow!! I bet nobody forget that experience.. Thanks Tinseltoes for your updates. Just imagine, all that for a couple of dollars…..
Sixty-eight years ago today, Universal's Technicolor remake of its silent Lon Chaney classic, "Phantom of the Opera," opened its NYC premiere engagement at the Capitol Theatre. Claude Rains played the title role this time around, with Nelson Eddy and Susanna Foster as the singing romantic leads. Advertising described it as "The Picture That Has Everything," but the Capitol's stage show was even more outstanding, with Duke Ellington & His Orchestra, the Deep River Boys, Peg Leg Bates, Patterson & Jackson, and Ellington soloists Betty Roche, Johnny Hodges, and Ray Nance on the bill. A special added stage attraction was Lena Horne, "loaned" by MGM, which now had the rising star under exclusive contract.
You are right Tinseltoes.
The B&W photo displayed in the introduction could be of any theatre, and hardly does justice to one of the largest and most influential buildings of its type in the world. Many consider it the masterwork of Thomas W. Lamb, but I can't find even a trace of that in the picture.
Hi Tinseltoes, thanks for the suggestions. I've been through the material at Lincoln Center, including the scrapbooks that the Capitol (NOT the Roxy!) kept, and I have read Variety, Billboard, many of the NY newspapers AND the papers devoted to the movies in the 1920s (as well as The Metronome, Musical Courier, Musical America, Musical Digest, etc.). Zeitlin was mentioned in a Capitol press release in 1927 (the text of which appeared in a number of papers), and his death, in 1930, was reported almost everywhere (from the NYTimes on down). So you certainly could have come across his name.
Zeitlin receives credit for a couple of his overtures in theatre programs that I have seen, but Yasha Bunchuk (the conductor at the Capitol, beginning in 1929) is credited with several others that (I think) may have been composed by Zeitlin. Hence my interest in finding programs.
Thanks, Paula! Over the years, I've seen mentions of Leo Zeitlin's name, but I can't recall in what context. Have you gone to the Performing Arts Library at Lincoln Center in NYC? You should begin by looking in the card catalogs for the music, theatre, and dance divisions. Also, the theatre division has a substantial collection of bound volumes of Roxy Theatre programmes from the start into the 1930s. Programmes for later years can often be found in the clipping files for the movie playing at the Roxy at the time. Also, from the time the Roxy opened, its stage shows were always reviewed at some length in the vaudeville section of weekly Variety. Lincoln Center & the Business Library at Madison & 42nd both have Variety on microfilm.
Thank you for writing, Tinseltoes. Sorry! The man's name was Leo Zeitlin (1884-1930), and I've been able to document that he composed many arrangements for the Capitol from the playlists kept by WEAF in the 1920s. Most of his arrs were played on the Sun evening Capitol Theatre radio program (the playlists are in the Lib of Congress Music Section, Dept of Recorded Sound), but by 1929-30 he was also writing overtures for the theatre, and those MAY have been credited to him in the theatre programs, which is why I'm eager to find any that I can.
A colleague and I have published Zeitlin's chamber music (I can provide information about that volume, if anyone is interested), and we are working on an edition of one of his overtures (from Sept 1929).
It would help if you actually named the man who wrote the musical arrangements. Or is that part of the question— to learn his name?
I'm writing about a man who composed musical arrangements for the Capitol Theatre between 1925 and 1930. Does anyone know of collections of programs from the Capitol for that period other than those at the Theatre Historical Society? I've found only one posted on the web. (This query is addressed especially to Tinseltoes and Warren G. Harris, if they are still reading this list.) If private replies are appropriate, use firstname.lastname@example.com.
It is so wonderful to read all of these dates and I enjoy them so. In many ways you keep the Loew's Capitol stll "alive". Thank you.
Fifty-eight years ago today, Columbia's "From Here to Eternity" opened its world premiere engagement at the Capitol Theatre, where the B&W drama was presented on the panoramic wide screen with stereophonic sound. Two of the film's stars made guest appearances in the Capitol's lobby to greet their fans and to hand out autographed photos—Donna Reed from 10 to 11am, and Deborah Kerr from 8:30 to 9:30pm. Co-stars Burt Lancaster, Montgomery Clift, and Frank Sinatra could not attend, and cabled regrets.
Seventy-eight years ago today, the Capitol made history by presenting the incomparable Ethel Barrymore in her very first engagement on the stage of a motion picture theatre. With a hand-picked supporting cast, Miss Barrymore performed James Barrie's famous one-act play, "The Twelve Pound Look." Preceding the playlet was a variety bill with dancers Harrison & Fisher, singer-composer Harold Arlen, and Phil Spitalny & His Orchestra. On screen in its NYC premiere engagement was MGM's B&W melodrama, "Storm at Daybreak," starring Kay Francis, Nils Asther, and Walter Huston.
BobbyS: It was the most incredible movie theater experience I've ever had, before or since. The size and shape of the Capitol screen, combined with the greatest science-fiction movie ever made – nothing else will ever come close!
Thanks Bill. It must have been something to see at the Capitol. Going to see a major motion picture in a one screen palace really made the whole experience something special!!
43 years ago today – a life-changing event. I saw "2001" at the Capitol. I try to commemorate it every year here on this page.
Status needs to be changed from "Closed" to "Demolished."
AGR, there's nothing wrong with thanking someone for a comment you appreciate, but in this case you look like a fool for having stormed off in a huff only to reappear a day later. And where's the apology for your nutty YELLING claim of my ignorance? (Don't you feel like an ass now that you realize I was correct all along?)
Michael, I was not commenting or giving an opinion, just wanted to thank REndres. Anything wrong with that? He deserves my thanks for the detailed explanation, period.
AGR, you're back. What happened to "OVER AND OUT"?
REndres, thanks for the detailed explanation.

The 2012 Eriksholm Workshop focused on some of the most recent acoustic measurements within the occluded, human external auditory meatus (EAM). The goal of this introduction is to provide an overview of basic and clinical EAM measurements that evolved in the 20th century and some relations between these measurements and wideband acoustic absorbance.
For nearly all of these measurements, an acoustic signal is introduced into the closed EAM and a microphone in the same space is used to sample the sound pressure generated. The resultant voltage at the output terminals of that microphone then is processed to estimate acoustic conditions within the EAM and at the lateral surface of the tympanic membrane (TM).
Two groups of investigators contributed the bulk of experimental data in the early years. The first group was concerned with telephone communication. The second group included basic scientists and clinicians who were interested in middle ear mechanics and in the differential diagnosis of middle ear disease.
To standardize and calibrate the output transducer of a telephone (the "receiver"), the first group of investigators needed to measure the acoustic "load" offered by an average adult ear. With these data in hand, they then could design an "artificial-ear coupler" that could be used during the manufacture and the standardization of telephone receivers. Most readers of this supplement, of course, are familiar with an array of acoustic couplers that are used on a regular basis today to evaluate and calibrate acoustic transducers.
It should come as no surprise to learn that much of the early research in this area was published by workers in telephony. Inglis et al. (1932) published a germinal report on the acoustic load offered by the closed EAM to a telephone receiver. They noted that "the human ear is limited in its utility generally to relative or comparative measurements and is not well adapted for measurement of absolute pressure or velocity." In consequence, the work outlined in their article was directed toward the development of an "artificial ear" that would present acoustic characteristics that reflected the acoustic load of a normal adult ear more accurately than simple closed cavities. Figure 1 has been reproduced from Inglis et al. The top panel (A) is a cross-sectional view of an adult human pinna occluded by the cap of a telephone receiver. The lower panel (B) depicts their artificial-ear coupler, again, covered with the cap of a telephone receiver. It is interesting to note that Inglis et al. have used the symbols Z, Z1, Z2, and Z3 to indicate four components of the total acoustic load. Today, we would identify these acoustic impedances with an A subscript (ZA). Heaviside (1886) probably was the first to use the term Impedance in the analysis of an alternating-current electric network. Steinmetz (1893) introduced the use of complex numbers as a tool to identify both the resistive and the reactive part of any impedance. The utility of the impedance concept was enhanced when Webster (1919) suggested that the term also could be extended to mechanical and acoustical circuits. He wrote that "whenever we have permanent vibrations of a single given frequency … the notation of impedance is valuable in replacing all of the quantities involved in the reactions of the system by a single complex number."
The second group of investigators who studied acoustic conditions within the EAM and at the lateral surface of the TM was concerned initially with static acoustic impedance (ZA). Their measurements were made with ambient air pressure in the ear canal and with the middle ear muscles in a state of normal tonus. The history of static, aural acoustic-impedance measurements, relations between these measurements and anatomical structures, and some effects of common middle ear diseases have been reviewed in an earlier publication (Lilly 1973). In that publication we provide also a review of: (1) Instrumentation that has been used to measure aural ZA; (2) standard methods for presenting ZA data; (3) equations for converting these data from polar to rectangular form and vice versa; and (4) a summary of mean ZA data for "normal" middle ears, for patients with clinical otosclerosis and for patients with interruption of the ossicular chain over the frequency range from 125 Hz through 1000 Hz.
In general, for patients with clinical otosclerosis, the real part of the acoustic impedance at the TM (ZTM), the acoustic resistance (RTM), falls within the normal range. The imaginary part of the measured ZTM, the acoustic reactance (XTM), however, is very much higher than normal. These findings are displayed graphically in Figure 2. This figure has been reproduced from Lilly (1973). For patients with ossicular discontinuity, the measured RTM and the acoustic reactance (XTM) both are much lower than normal. These findings also are displayed graphically in Figure 2.
Pattern recognition has been used extensively in clinical audiology. Inspection of Figure 2 suggests that when measured ZTM findings for a given patient are plotted in this fashion, the pattern can be useful in the differential diagnosis of a given conductive hearing loss. Our clinical findings over the ensuing 40 years have reinforced this observation. Unfortunately, with the instrumentation available in the 1960s, measurements of this type, data reduction, and plotting were time intensive and rarely used in the clinic. Moreover, some instruments provided only one component of the complex acoustic impedance. Without both components of a complex number, it was impossible to speculate on the etiology of a conductive hearing loss for some patients. Also, it was impossible to convert the data from polar form to rectangular form. In 1972, the Grason-Stadler Co. introduced an electroacoustic instrument that measured complex acoustic admittance (YA) rather than acoustic impedance. This approach simplified numerical and (analog) electronic correction for the acoustic characteristics of the column of air interposed between the tip of the probe and the TM. In addition, YA data could be converted readily to the ZA form as long as both the acoustic susceptance (BA) and the acoustic conductance (GA) were reported.
Ten years later, as we began developing a standard for the American National Standard Institute (ANSI), it became clear that we needed a term that could be used to refer collectively to the array of acoustic measurements that were being made within the occluded, human EAM. The ANSI working group elected to borrow the term "immittance" from alternating-current electric-circuit theory. This term first was used by Bode (1945) as a convenient way to group im(pedance) and (ad)mittance measurements under one heading. It is important to recognize, however, that immittance does not have units because it applies to both impedance and admittance, which have different units. The resultant ANSI Standard was published in 1987 with the title: "American National Standard Specifications for Instruments to Measure Aural Acoustic Impedance and Admittance (Aural Acoustic Immittance)" ANSI (1987). In this supplement, we shall continue to use the term immittance when we refer to a variety of aural acoustic measurements under a single heading.
Visual inspection of the EAM and the TM has been used for the diagnosis of ear disease since the 14th century (de Chauliac 1363). Early otoscopes were simple conical specula. Today, optical otoscopes provide magnification of the field and use halogen light sources with fiberoptic technology. Video otoscopy allows the examiner to display his or her findings on a monitor and print the image. The otoscopic examination allows the clinician to inspect the external auditory canal and evaluate the condition of the TM. The color, the translucency, and the position (retracted, neutral, or bulging) of the drum membrane usually are reported.
The utility of the otoscope was enhanced when Siegel (1864) sealed the instrument hermetically, attached a rubber bulb and a soft aural speculum. With this pneumatic otoscope, air pressures above and below ambient could be introduced into the EAM. This innovation helped assess the mobility of the TM, the presence of a retracted TM, a tympanic perforation, and Eustachian tube function. It also aided the differential diagnosis of otitis media with effusion from acute otitis media.
Introduction of the pneumophone marked the first attempt to quantify some aspects of pneumatic otoscopy (van Dishoeck 1938; 1941). With this instrument, a pure-tone source and an air tube were mounted in a speculum that then was sealed hermetically into the EAM. When the air tube was connected to a u-tube manometer, the patient could use a finger to trace on the manometer the air pressure where the tone was loudest. At this point, the air pressure in the EAM was approximately the same as the air pressure in the patient's middle ear.
Tympanometry marked a second attempt to quantify selected aspects of pneumatic otoscopy. With this technique, a pure-tone source and an air tube again are mounted in a speculum or probe that then is sealed hermetically into the EAM. A microphone also is mounted in the probe. The electrical output of this microphone is proportional to the SPL within the sealed EAM. Because changes in SPL are proportional to changes in the magnitude of acoustic impedance, plotting this electrical output while air pressure is changed yields a graph that is distinctive for conditions at the TM and within the middle ear. Some of the earliest tympanometric instruments actually plotted EAM SPL as a function of air pressure (Terkildsen & Thompson 1959).
Unlike the acoustic bridge (Zwislocki 1957) that was used for many early static acoustic-immittance measurements, the newer electroacoustic instruments designed for tympanometry achieved rapid acceptance in clinical audiology. There are several reasons for this acceptance. First, the instruments were relatively simple to use. Second, they could be used to generate tympanograms quickly, and, finally, they produced distinctive patterns for a variety of TM abnormalities, middle ear diseases, and conditions. This pattern recognition was attractive to clinicians.
Lidén was one of the first investigators to associate tympanometric patterns with specific middle ear conditions (Lidén 1969). He described pathognomonic patterns for four groups of adult, clinical subjects and identified these patterns with the letters A through D. A type E pattern was identified in subsequent publications from the same Swedish hospital (Lidén et al.1974). Figure 3 depicts the five types of tympanograms reported by Lidén et al. 1974. In the interim, Jerger attempted to replicate the findings of Lidén and his colleagues (Jerger 1970). He used a clinical electroacoustic immittance instrument that was in common use in the 1960s in the United States.
This instrument had a single probe-tone frequency of 220 Hz. His data supported the Swedish work for the type A (normal) pattern, for the flat type B (middle ear effusion and TM perforation) pattern, and for the type C (negative pressure) pattern but not for the type D and the type E patterns. This discrepancy was related to the frequency of the probe tones that were used. The 800 Hz probe tone that Lidén and his colleagues used was closer than a 220 Hz tone to the first resonance peak of the adult middle ear transmission system, and, thus, was able to produce consistently the W-shaped type D (ossicular disruption) pattern and the undulating type E (TM hypermobility) pattern.
Figure 4 depicts the single-component, low-frequency tympanograms that have been reported most commonly in the clinical literature (Jerger 1975). It also shows graphically how a tympanogram might progress from a type A (normal) pattern to a type B pattern during the development of serous otitis media. The abscissa on this graph is labeled "Compliance," and it is not scaled. The data plotted probably are proportional to the magnitude of acoustic admittance. Type A, type B, and type C tympanograms are reported extensively in clinical reports, but today the abscissae usually are scaled in absolute physical units.
Until about 1972, many normal tympanograms were plotted with a single valley facing downward on the page. This convention, of course, was appropriate for measurement data that were proportional to ZA. In addition, almost all tympanograms were scaled in arbitrary units. In 1972, the Grason-Stadler Co. introduced an electroacoustic instrument that measured complex acoustic admittance (YA) in absolute units (acoustic siemen). Because YA is the reciprocal ZA, the normal, type A, tympanogram became a peak near ambient air pressure (in deka Pascal) rather than a valley. This instrument also had a second (678 Hz) probe tone that was three times higher in frequency than the standard 226 Hz tone. These changes led to several advancements. First, because tympanograms were plotted in absolute units and because a method was provided for correcting (approximately) for the admittance of the volume of air in the EAM, findings between clinics could be standardized. Second, inclusion of a probe tone that was closer to the first, middle ear resonance peak in adults allowed clinicians to produce type D and type E tympanograms. Third, the 678 Hz probe tone could be used to generate valid tympanograms with some neonates and young babies. In the 1970s, it became clear that the motility of the EAM in neonates often resulted in what appeared to be a normal low-frequency tympanogram even with fluid and embryonic mesenchyme in the middle ear (Paradise et al. 1976; Schwartz & Schwartz 1980; Sprague et al. 1985). Probe tones of 678 Hz and higher could be used to circumvent this problem.
A fourth advancement focused on quantification of tympanometric patterns. Using a Grason-Stadler instrument, investigators in Belgium plotted the rectangular components of YA, acoustic susceptance (BA), and acoustic conductance (GA), on the same graph for a given patient or subject and then counted the number of BA peaks and the number of GA peaks (Vanhuyse et al. 1975). With this technique and the 678 Hz probe tone, abnormal changes in mass and stiffness could be identified.
The next advancement in tympanometry did not force the examiner to worry about the frequency of the probe tone. Multifrequency tympanometry allowed the clinician to begin a test with the standard 226 Hz probe tone. The test could be terminated with only this low frequency if an adult patient without a conductive hearing loss generated a type A tympanogram. The test also could be terminated at 226 Hz for an adult or for a child older than about 5 months (Schwartz & Schwartz 1980) if a type B or a type C pattern was produced. For a patient with a conductive hearing loss and a type A tympanogram, the probe frequency then could be increased systematically until the first resonance peak of the middle ear was reached. An abnormal increase in the resonance frequency indicated a middle ear condition that increased the stiffness component of the system. This finding, in the presence of a type A, low-frequency tympanogram provided support for a diagnosis of clinical otosclerosis. An abnormal decrease in the resonance frequency indicated a middle ear condition that decreased the stiffness component of the system and provided support for a diagnosis of ossicular discontinuity (Colletti 1977; Funasaka et al. 1984; Lilly 1984; Hunter & Margolis 1992). The ability to increase the frequency of the probe tone also allowed clinicians to generate, in neonates, tympanograms that were not as affected by the excessive motility of the EAM at low frequencies. Moreover, the BA and GA patterns at each frequency permitted the clinician also to use the peak-counting analysis of Vanhuyse et al. (1975). In 1985, the Virtual Corporation developed a computer-based instrument that could be used for single-component tympanometry at 226 Hz, for multicomponent tympanometry at any frequency up to 2000 Hz, or to generate a family of tympanometric curves in 1/3 octave steps from 250 through 2000 Hz. Figure 5 shows a family of |YA| tympanograms from a subject with normal hearing. In panel A, the three-Dimensional plot has been sliced at 226 Hz to produce a normal, type A tympanogram. In panel B, the plot has been sliced just before the first resonance peak to produce a steeper tympanogram. Panel C shows the tympanogram at resonance. In panel D, the plot has been sliced at a frequency above resonance to produce a type D tympanogram.
In this brief introduction, we have attempted to review some of the major efforts that have been used to evaluate the condition of the human, adult middle ear transmission system, the middle ear cavity, and the function of the Eustachian tube. We have grouped most of this work under the rubric of "acoustic immittance." To summarize:

For those of you thinking of bringing two paladin tanks to the Four Horsemen fight... don't. Not until the next patch, anyway. For now, it's doable but unnecessarily complex.
If you have two paladin tanks, you will also need a hunter, warrior, death knight or druid around as a dps or healer. Preferably dps since they're less painful to sacrifice if something goes awry.
Paladin 1 taunts of paladin 2, so #1 now has both horsemen. Chosen dps uses taunt (druid goes into bear form to taunt, hunter uses Distracting Shot) on #1's original target, and then Paladin 2 taunts off the warrior/dk/druid/hunter. End result: the two paladins have switched targets, but it's a lot more complicated than simply taunting off each other, takes more time, and there's a small chance that your "offtank" taunter will die in the process.
If you have 2 pally tanks, just put the MT on Rivendare and zerg Thane. It's doable even with a 3-healer comp if you have your front two healers swap on 2 or 3 ticks (watch the meteor strike timing!). The tank can survive 6 or maybe even 7 ticks (disclaimer, I'm a bear. I have a *lot* of HP...) so even if after Thane dies there's a tick on the Rivendare tank before he can run out after the swap, he should be OK.
I know it can be done this way with 3 healers because...we've done it that way two weeks in a row. Protecting the healer on the Rivendare tank is the hardest part (unless your group has issues with grouping up tight and someone's eating the meteor all by themselves...)

Retailers Tell Showroomers: There's Room to Negotiate on Price
To compete with online retailers and the "showrooming" trend, brick-and-mortar chains are becoming more open to bargaining with shoppers over the price of many items.
To compete with online retailers and the "showrooming" trend, brick-and-mortar chains are becoming more open to bargaining with shoppers over the price of many items.
Here's how the start of the holiday shopping season is playing out.
Black Friday can overwhelm even the savviest of shoppers. Fortunately, your smartphone is all you need to make sure you get the best prices on everything on your list.
Retirees may have more free time, but that doesn't mean their lives aren't just expensive as everyone else's. But these smartphone apps are perfect to help them cut costs.
Money magazine has served up a bounty of mobile apps to help you save more and budget better. Let's take a look at their top recommendations:
First, there was just Thanksgiving. Then came Black Friday, and then Cyber Monday. Now, we have White Friday, Small Business Saturday, and Giving Tuesday, too -- enough special days to make your head spin. But we're here to guide you through them, and to help you make the best of the post-Thanksgiving week.
2012 may not be the year you strike it rich, but you can make it the year you start making smarter financial decisions using the technology at your fingertips. Start with these three small moves that can save you some serious money.
We all know not to pay sticker price for a new car or a house, but the prices for many of the things we buy regularly aren't set in stone either. And where there's wiggle room, there's haggling. So how can you haggle gracefully? Regina Lewis explains the two cardinal rules of haggling.
With retailers moving out of crisis mode, they're back to investing in new bells and whistles for their stores and websites. Such as: Apps that send coupons to your smartphone or digicams that let you post pictures of a dress you're considering to your Facebook page.

The accomplishment of the 100 Million Mani Retreat in Mongolia in August 2013 is momentous for FPMT. The purpose of the retreat, in part, was to help reestablish Buddhism in Mongolia. But Rinpoche had articulated his vision for FPMT students to do mani retreats more than a decade ago. This wish led to the inaugural 100 million mani retreat in 2000 at Chenrezig Institute, in Queensland, Australia.
On November 26, 2000, FPMT students gathered at Chenrezig Institute to do the first 100 million mani retreat undertaken by FPMT in the West, which was scheduled to end on Losar (February 24, 2001). Rinpoche attended the retreat December 22-26, giving teachings and also observing the retreat to fine tune the schedule and practices.
Here's a short excerpt from Teachings from the Mani Retreat. The excerpt is taken from the teachings given on December 22 and was reproduced as part of Mandala's January-March 2014 online content.
"This is such a wonderful time, especially doing practice to develop compassion and bodhichitta. Without compassion you can't have the realization of bodhichitta, you can't enter the Mahayana path, you can't achieve enlightenment, you can't achieve the infinite qualities of the holy body, holy speech and holy mind of Buddha. Without great compassion you can't do perfect work for sentient beings, bringing them to enlightenment. I mentioned this the other night when I arrived, but maybe it was difficult to hear so late at night. …
"We should especially think of death. When the thought of death comes, when we remember death, there's nothing else that makes sense; everything else is total nonsense. When we think of death, so much of what we do in life doesn't make sense; it's all just nonsense. The only thing that makes sense is Dharma practice. Only Dharma will benefit us at the time of death and after death. The only thing that we can carry with us and can enjoy in our future life is Dharma – nothing else.
"This practice of the meditation-recitation of the Buddha of Compassion will especially benefit us. Reciting OM MANI PADME HUM has merit as limitless as the sky. Even Buddha can never finish explaining the unbelievable purification and collection of extensive merit brought by reciting OM MANI PADME HUM."

Discover critical steps involving your gas meter that you should take to minimize damage and ensure your safety when an earthquake occurs. Most people say they are going to take the proper steps of earthquake preparedness before the next big quake hits, but the majority seldom do. Follow these simple steps that I reveal to you and you will be well on your way!After an earthquake, you will need to inspect your meter for gas leaks.If it is dark, bug out kits,it is very important to use the proper type of light to get to your meter. Use a flashlight powered by batteries only. Never use a candle, kerosene lantern or anything with a flame near your gas meter.http://www.redballoonproductions.com
Featured: Need protection for your iPhone? Window Armor Screen Protectors offer scratch and scrape resistance for your iPhone screen.
Anything with a flame near a gas leak can cause an explosion. This includes a lit cigarette and even starting a car near a gas leak. Both of these can cause a serious explosion. Until you know if you have a leak do not even turn light switches on or off or even use your landline telephone. These can also create a spark and cause an explosion.For safety reasons, if you experience a severe earthquake it is wise to turn your gas off. Not all earthquakes will require you to turn your main gas supply to your home off though. Some questions to ask yourself are, "Do I smell gas?" "Do I hear gas spraying out?" "Is my gas meter registering increased usage?" If you can answer "yes" to any of these questions, then it is essential to turn your gas to the OFF position.I will cover how to do this next. Just remember that only a professional should ever turn your gas back on. In the case of a severe earthquake or natural disaster of any kind this may take a week or two before your gas will be restored.

International Protest to Free Nestora Salgado
Where: Federal Building, Downtown LA (300 N. Los Angeles St)
When: Thursday, August 21, 4:00 PM
Nestora Salgado is an indigenous leader, a naturalized U.S. citizen and political prisoner in Mexico. She was seized without an arrest warrant by Mexican federal soldiers last August and as a result of her leadership role in community policing against organized crime, which has swept through the indigenous communities of the state of Guerrero over the last several years. For 12 months, she has been denied the right to see her lawyers. Orders to free her by a federal judge have been ignored. Kept in isolation without medical attention, she represents hundreds of people in self defense groups who have been jailed for defending their communities against powerful, politically connected criminal cartels. In Guerrero, indigenous people have the constitutional right to form such forces; they have been emulated in other states and communities by Mexicans who consider it a necessity for self-preservation and dignity.
In June, the Mexican government expanded its occupation and repression in Michoacán, arresting Dr. José Mireles and nearly 100 of his followers. They were on their way to regain public control of Lázaro Cárdenas port, the largest seaport in Mexico, from a drug cartel known as the Knights Templar. This criminal syndicate used the port to export goods and resources stolen from the people of the region. Today Nestora Salgado and Dr. José Mireles are powerful symbols of popular resistance against Mexican government corruption and unbridled crime. As U.S. military aid to Mexico increases, the violence continues.
Join us for a day of international protest.
Free Nestora Salgado!
Free Dr. José Mireles!
Free all political prisoners!
Stop the government repression of self-defense forces and indigenous leaders!
End U.S. military aid to Mexico!

We are all well aware of the colloquialism "Beauty is in the eye of the beholder." Beauty is subjective. We can certainly develop a general consensus of what is beautiful, but we cannot remove the human element of subjectivity. I attended college in Indiana for two years and being from Colorado I was quite unimpressed with the features of the Indiana landscape, there was a friend of mine who was determined to convince me that a flat horizon was prettier than a jagged one. Truthfully, there is beauty in both the mountains as well in the distant horizon. Was one of us right, or more right than the other? That is a question that has no answer.
Some of the world's great thinkers have tried to determine a scientific or mathematic formula to define physical beauty. Even if one day a formula is developed that can prove who is beautiful and who does not make the cut people will continue to debate the physical qualities of those around us. For every Stanley Hudson, there is a Sir Mix-A-Lot.
When you apply statistics and formulas to something a subjective characteristic, there is always room for dissent. That is the crux of the stats versus scouting discussion. While some believe numbers never lie others will never accept a string of data to contradict what their hearts and eyes tell them, even if it is corrupted by alcohol.
Beauty may be fun to talk about and more fun to ogle, but this is a blog about basketball. Unlike with beauty, statistics and formulas can paint a very comprehensive picture of what a player can or cannot do. The statistics tell us that Carmelo Anthony is not an efficient scorer. While his 28.2 points per game seem to suggest he is an elite scorer, numerous other stats decry that assertion as preposterous. Whether it is his pedestrian 45.8% shooting, his mediocre 54.6% true shooting percentage, or his league average 1.07 points per possession we have ample evidence that Carmelo is inefficient and when we subjectively look at what he does we are misled in thinking he is an immensely talented and versatile scoring machine.
This has troubled me greatly. I believe in the statistics. I know that efficiency is not a subjective matter, but a clear cut numeric certainty. I was one of the first people to decry Melo's lack of efficiency.
On the other hand, I have seen every professional game Carmelo Anthony has played. The man was put on earth to make buckets. He is big, strong, quick, he can shoot off a jab step, he can shoot off the dribble, he can drive with either hand, even though he rarely finishes with his left, he does not reflect the meager abilities of the volume scorer some are making him out to be. My eyes see all he can do and I cannot believe that Carmelo Anthony is significantly worse offensively than the other more statically efficient superstars in the league.
The Denver Nuggets have been putting on the full court press lately trying to combat the media frenzy that is the Indian Summer of Carmelo. They are pushing the angle that Carmelo Anthony is a Nugget and he wants to be a Nugget. They have articles up by Aaron Lopez reminding everyone that Kobe Bryant asked publically to be traded and remained a Laker for life and an interview with Carmelo where he never says he does not want to be a Nugget.
There have been numerous stories hitting on various angles of Carmelo's situation. He is not going to sign the extension. Actually he probably will sign the extension. Never mind, he wants to be traded. Hey Carmelo has never once said he wants to be traded. Now there is news that Carmelo's new bride, Lala Vazquez, has said it is possible Carmelo could play for New York. Everyone is treating every article like the Rosetta Stone or the Dead Sea Scrolls expecting to find some kind of clue, some hidden message that will tell them what Carmelo is going to do.

AUBURN HILLS, MI (WTVB) - The Pistons last night earned their first win in three seasons over the Knicks by beating New York 92-86 at the Palace. Greg Monroe tallied 16 points and 11 rebounds for Detroit while Andre Drummond also had a double-double in the victory with 13 points and 11 boards. Rodney Stuckey had a team-high 21 points off the bench for the Pistons.
The Detroit win snapped a 7-game losing streak against the Knicks, who were led last night by Carmelo Anthony's 25 points and seven rebounds, but he also had seven of the team's 13 turnovers. The Pistons improved to 4-and-6 while New York slipped to 3-and-7.
Tonight, it's Detroit at Atlanta.

Alphabet Drawers by Kent and London
This vintage printing block inspired dresser may set you back a pretty penny, but, it's worth the asking price. Imagine this in your home and all of the lessons you can teach from it. I'm thinking D is for Diapers, P is for Pajamas!
The Alphabet Drawers from Kent and London is the newest addition to their set of handmade furniture. The chest of drawers is made from solid oak and is complete with 26 drawers, one for each letter of the alphabet.
The Alphabet Drawers is listed at £2700.00. But like their website says, "It's the perfect place to file everything from A-Z".

It's beautiful -not sure if it's practical though!
I wish I had the money for something like that - its amazing.
This is Fantastic!! I Love it :) I, too wish I could afford it :(
Seems to me this is an ikea hack waiting to happen.
Three Fira mini chests stacked on top of one another and bolted together, some paint, wood letters, stain, wood glue, and if your feeling really frisky, legs.
27 drawers......A-Z plus a character of your choice. I'd probably go with an asterick.
I agree it's not the most practical item, but MAN is it pretty.
I love it! love it! love it! love it! I'm not sure if its the teacher in me who sees the neat ways to use this to teach the alphabet or just the abstract side of me that loves the odd uniqueness of this.....
However, I'd never pay that much for it - or any where near that much... (now to convince hubby to take up wood carving!!)
I agree with mmead on the hackability, with the caveat that a really good hack would mean taking the time be selective about sizes, fonts, etc. to create an impressive arrangement.
I know SEVERAL letterpress printers who would swooooooon over this piece!!!!!

ADAMs A7 & A7X: the evolution of a legend
The predecessor to the A7X, the A7, became the most famous of all ADAM monitors in a very short time. Not only has it been reviewed over three dozen times with outstanding results, it has also received numerous awards. The A7 quickly gained mass appeal, praised in many of the world's largest internet forums. Still today, the A7 are the reference monitors in many smaller studios. With the A7X, ADAM Audio proudly presents the evolution of a legend. It takes everything that made the A7 such an outstanding speaker to a new level.
Driver technology
The first aspect that distiguishes the old from the new model is the X-ART tweeter. The 'X' stands for 'eXtended frequency response' and thus for one of the features of the Accelerating Ribbon Technology that has been drastically improved: the frequency response. It now extends all the way up to 50kHz. In addition, the X-ART tweeter has a higher efficiency and higher maximum sound pressure levels.
The perfect integration with the lower frequencies has been achieved with a newly designed 7" midwoofer. It has been redesigned with a much bigger voice coil (1.5") and is driven by an amplifier with twice the power compared to its predecessor. This combination produces an amazing sound and pressure levels with an almost distortion-free musical reproduction.
Amplifiers / controls
Each driver has its own dedicated amplifier. A 50W A/B amp is responsible for the X-ART tweeter, while the midwoofer is being driven by a 100W PWM amp. The front panel includes a power switch and a control for the volume that retains the volume setting independently from the on/off switch. On the rear panel are several additional controls: a gain for the high frequencies (± 4dB) and two shelf filters for high and low frequencies. To ensure greater compatibility, there are both XLR (balanced) and RCA (unbalanced) connectors.

Welcome to the most Comprehensive Keloid Information WebsiteWelcome to the most comprehensive, encyclopedic keloid information website. My name is Dr. Michael Tirgan. I specialize in treatment of keloid disorder. This website is representative of my medical practice, as well as my passion for treatment, and research in Keloid Disorder. I hope that your visit to this website be informative and helpful. Michael H. Tirgan, M.D. In the banner above, you see the kind of results that we have achieved, without surgery, for some of the most difficult types of keloids, those that have returned after multiple rounds of surgery, radiation and steroid injections. The prime focus of Dr. Tirgan's medical practice is to provide individualized medical care to those suffering from keloid disorder. Every week, Dr. Tirgan sees tens of patients with various forms of keloids, from children to adults, from patients who only have one small keloid to those who have numerous keloids. Having treated over eight hundred keloid patients in the past several years, having provided informal consultations to hundreds more from all over the world, Dr. Tirgan is a true expert in treating keloid disorder; and very familiar with the urgent needs of keloid patients. Dr. Tirgan is a board certified medical oncologist (cancer specialist) who has dedicated much of his professional time to keloid research, and treatment of patients with this disorder. Although benign, keloid in many ways mimics cancerous tumors. It not only resist various treatments, but it also commonly reoccurs after primary treatment with surgery and steroid injections. The key to success of Dr. Tirgan in treating keloids is his expertise in treating cancer and applying similar treatment principals and algorhythms in treating keloids.
Treatment of Keloid:In treating keloids, there are two very basic facts that you have to keep in mind: 1- Surgery quite often results in worsening of the keloids and should not be used in great majority of patients. If you have keloid, the odds are that surgery will make your keloid worse. 2- Radiation Therapy should never be used in treating keloids, or prevention of scars, as this treatment carries a definite risk of causing cancer. Unfortunately, these two facts are downplayed by numerous treating physicians. We see so many patients who have undergone both therapies and were not properly informed of the risks and benefits of these treatments. In our practice, we have encountered even teenagers who had been treated with Radiation therapy. As most of you already know, keloid is a very hard to treat condition. We obviously lack effective treatments and drugs for this disorder, simply because the medical research community has neglected this disorder. The key to successful treatment of any keloid is summarized in two words: Patience and Persistence. Treating keloids takes time and requires repeated rounds of treatment. Therefore, achieving results in our practice is truly dependent on commitment from the patients to return for treatment and follow up. This simple message is the common thread among almost all of the Case Studies that are posted here. If you choose to become a patient with our practice, the first thing you will learn from Dr. Tirgan will be Patience and Persistence. In treating keloids, Dr. Tirgan utilizes various non-surgical treatment methods such as cryotherapy and drugs that are injected inside the keloid tissue. Not all keloids are the same; even various keloids in the same patient will react and behave differently to the same exact treatment. Choice of treatment depends on constellation of various factors, among which are: location, shape, size of keloid, response to prior treatments, age of the patient as well as host of other factors, including social circumstances. We often get requests from patients who live far away from us, asking for assistance or referrals to local doctors. Dr. Tirgan will be happy to work with your local doctor and assist in providing proper care, as long as your local physician is willing to work with Dr. Tirgan. This is incumbent on you to inquire from your local physician, to make sure he/she is willing to follow treatment guidelines from Dr. Tirgan.
Some facts about Keloid
Keloid Disorder often runs in families. African Americans, Asians and Indians are more prone to develop keloids. We still don't know the genetic abnormality that causes this phenomenon. Finding the gene(s) that lead(s) to formation of keloids is subject of one of our current research studies. In 2012, over sixty patients/family members volunteered to participate in this study by providing blood samples for genetic testing and DNA sequencing. Several of these samples have been tested by way of exome sequencing. We are waiting for the preliminary results that will guide us further in the path to find the gene(s) that may be abnormal.
Keloids can form as a result of a variety of injuries to the skin, among which are:
- Skin burns
- Acne
- Chicken Pox
- Ear Piercing
- Scratches
- Surgical Cuts
- Vaccination Site
Keloid disorder negatively impacts every patient's quality of life. This impact is more often psychological, and of course physical. Patients who have keloids in visible parts of their body may experience stigmatization, which is often more important to them than the physical disease itself. They may feel being excluded from full social acceptance in their immediate network of peers. For many patients, simple activities such as going to gym or wearing a bathing suit to swim is a taboo, as they do not wish anyone to notice their keloids. The list of limitations placed on patients due to this simple benign skin condition is endless. Dr. Tirgan is quite cognizant of all these issues and places even more importance on treating keloids that are visible by others.So, please take your time and review the information that is provided in this website. Most of our visitors spend hours to read through every page of our website. We are proud to say that Keloid212.com is a true information resource for all those who seek to learn more about this disorder. The information provided to you here is the result of hundreds of hours of tireless work and efforts of Dr. Tirgan himself to make this website to be the leading resource and a dynamic encyclopedia of keloid.

Lajja (Bengali: লজ্জা Lôjja) (Shame) is a novel in Bengali by Taslima Nasrin, a writer of Bangladesh. The word lajja/lôjja means "shame" in Bengali and many other Indic languages. The book was first published in 1993 in the Bengali language, and was subsequently banned in Bangladesh, and a few states of India. It nonetheless sold 50,000 copies in the six months after its publication, though Taslima fled her native Bangladesh after death threats from Islamic radicals.
Nasrin dedicated the book "to the people of the Indian subcontinent", beginning the text with the words, "let another name for religion be humanism." The novel is preceded by a preface and a chronology of events.

On second anniversary of the economic stimulus plan, we surveyed patients on their perceptions of EHR adoption by  their doctors.
Patients surveyed on doctors' use of Electronic Health Records two years after ARRA anniversary.
SAN FRANCISCO – March 8, 2011 – A survey conducted by GfK Roper for Practice Fusion reveals an overwhelming majority of Americans believe doctors using a computer system provide them with better care. An estimated $27 billion has been allocated to help the medical sector transition to Electronic Health Record (EHR) systems as part of the 2009 American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA). Practice Fusion is a free, web-based EHR that addresses the two biggest hurdles to physician adoption: cost and usability.
"It's 2011 and patients want their healthcare to reflect the fact we're in the 21st century. They want to have prescriptions sent electronically, to receive email appointment reminders and to review past diagnoses and upcoming appointments online," said Ryan Howard, CEO of Practice Fusion. "With Practice Fusion, doctors can provide the standard of care that patients expect today, improving the patient experience and preventing unnecessary medical errors."
The Practice Fusion survey found no measurable change in the percentage of physicians reported by patients to be using a computer in 2010 vs. 2011. Although CDC reports have indicated increased adoption, 90 percent of physicians are still not using a complete EHR today.
Key facts:
Medical providers interested in making the switch to Electronic Health Records for free, can sign up online at practicefusion.com/go. The Practice Fusion EHR system includes charting, scheduling, e-prescribing, referral letters and other clinical features tailored to the small to mid-sized medical practice.
Raw results from the past two annual patient surveys are available upon request. Practice Fusion can also offer physician sources that use EHR systems to care for their patients and health IT experts to discuss the benefits of real-time, information-driven healthcare.
The second annual Practice Fusion "Doctors Gone Digital" study was conducted via omnibus survey on February 25-27, 2011. The GfK OmniTel survey is a weekly national phone survey of US households. Interviews were conducted from among a nationally representative sample of 1,004 adults age 18 or older. The margin of error on weighted data is +/- 3 percentage points for the full sample.
Practice Fusion provides a free, web-based Electronic Health Record (EHR) system to physicians. With charting, scheduling, e-prescribing, billing, lab integrations, referral letters, unlimited support and a Personal Health Record for patients, Practice Fusion's EHR addresses the complex needs of today's healthcare providers and disrupts the health IT status quo. Practice Fusion is the fastest growing EHR community in the country with more than 150,000 users serving 8 million patients. Physicians voted Practice Fusion as the No. 1 EHR in customer satisfaction for primary care in 2011 in Brown-Wilson's Black Book Rankings.

CHESTERFIELD, VA—A fire burning at a metal recycling plant in Chesterfield County began as crews were welding inside the plant, working to repair damage from a fire that broke out just two week ago, fire officials confirm.
Chesterfield County Fire crews responded around 9:30 a.m. Friday to the Aleris Rolled Products, Inc., located at 1601 Reyment Road.
The fire broke out as workers were operating welding equipment inside the plant to repair damage from a fire that broke out inside the plant April 24.
Fire crews are working to extinguish the fire and have moved to a neighboring building's roof to try and break down the flames. No injuries have been reported in Friday's fire.
Hazardous materials had been removed from the building following the April fire. In that incident, workers were evacuated from the five-story building. No one was injured.
The April fire was started as a furnace fire, which is part of the recycling process, but then spread within the insulation of walls and the floor, fire officials said.

On Saturday 24th January, Ponty Youth's league match with Beddau was cancelled at short notice, leaving the team having had only one run out in eight weeks. Fortunately late on Friday night, old friends Nelson stepped in to play a hastily arranged friendly.
The pitch at Nelson was heavy and in poor condition with the game close to being cancelled, however with both sides desperate to play, the referee agreed for the game to proceed. Despite the appalling conditions both sides tried to play attacking rugby and for the neutral the game was an exciting one to watch.
Nelson dominated the first ten minutes through a series of forward drives, but the Ponty pack had tightened their defence significantly and despite the pressure their defence held firm. Ponty then went on the attack themselves through a brilliant break from centre Ricky Stevenson but fellow centre Casey Pittman spurning an overlap and the scoring pass dropped and a certain 7 points lost.
Nelson came straight back and after another series of forward drives, they managed to cross wide on the right for a try hotly disputed by the Ponty forwards who felt they had prevented the ball from being grounded. The conversion was missed.
Ponty responded with another great break from the backs to set up a promising position in the Nelson twenty-two, from which the forwards rumbled and drove to the line, before flanker Aaron Atkins athletically dived over the Nelson ruck to score a well deserved try, that was also unconverted. Nelson nearly responded just before the break when their wing pounced on a loose pass and seemed destined to score, before flanker Dafydd Gristock cut him down in a brilliant cover tackle twenty metres out.
Ponty lost Casey Pittman to injury just before half time, and with a number of backs unavailable, Owen Kingsbury and Aaron Atkins were forced into emergency duty as backs.
The second half saw Ponty under torrid pressure from Nelson, but some sturdy defence keeping their try line intact. Once again Ponty came straight back and after another great midfield break were able to win a penalty in front of the posts, but frustratingly for the coaches, opting to take a quick tap penalty rather than a certain three points.
From the ensuing scrum, Ponty moved the ball quickly left for Atkins to power over the line, but the score disallowed. The visitors kept up the pressure only for full back Rhys Simms to see a penalty attempt falling agonisingly under the bar.
Nelson hit straight back and a superb break from their captain, former Ponty youth centre Liam Wotton, was only foiled metres short by a bone crunching tackle from Ponty fly-half Lewis Smith. Minutes later though Nelson were awarded a penalty for a late tackle, and added the three points to take an 8 -5 lead.
Ponty though were not prepared to lie down and after great line out play, were able to put Nelson under pressure on the edge of their twenty-two and when they slowed the ball down at the ruck, Ponty fullback Simms slotted over the penalty to end the game in an 8 all draw, that was a credit to both sides.
This was a much improved display from Ponty, and despite the fact that they were without a significant number of players, they defended superbly and created some nice running rugby in very difficult conditions. It was also pleasing for Ponty to see two of their under 16 squad make the step up to youth rugby, and put in impressive performances.
Man of the Match for Ponty was Aaron Atkins who played out of position to help the team out, and should have been awarded a brace of tries. Ponty would like to thank Nelson for arranging the game at short notice, and wish them all the best for the remainder of the season.

Both servers have 2008R2,
I have just managed to get hold of a second server for a primary school that I wanted to use to replicate AD, DNS GPO settings just in case the one and only server goes down. I understand (from other posts) that BDC are a server 2000 thing and that from 2003 all server are treated equally, except you can have a RODC which is a bit like a BDC.
Given my situation of 1 main server doing everything and one second hand server that probably only has 2 years left would you advice I set up the older server as a standard DC or a RODC and why?
Thanks for the info.

This is a look that I have been using in one way or another for a number of years. I have noticed that it's becoming more popular lately on webpages and movie posters. I decided to write it up into a tutorial for your enjoyment!
The Trendy Colorizing Effect
This is an effect that I have seen used in different ways. It seems to have evolved into a low contrast version, which I have seen on movie posters etc. So I figured, why not make a tutorial on it and show you my way of making this effect. I don't really have a name for it, so I heareby dub it the: Low Contrast Fashion Color effect.
To get started begin with a photograph, it works best on photos of people, but works on anything.
First of all, for better results, reduce the contrast. The best way is to use an adjustment layer. Create a levels adjustment. (You could use Levels Cmd/Ctrl+L if you prefer)
In levels, Push the midrange to the left, by moving the middle gray triangle.
Add a gradient fill adjustment layer. This is available as an adjustment Layer. Choose the Gradient Fill option.
Choose the rainbow colored gradient option by clicking on the gradient preview and choosing it from the gradients that appear.
Change the angle and size to you're your tastes. Diagonal and larger work well, as it reduces the amount of colors splashed across the photograph and improves the effect.
With the gradient layer selected, change to color blend mode at the top of the layer panel, where it says "normal". This will allow only the color to pass through to the photograph and preserving its deatails.
The result should look something like this. If it doesn't, you can always change the gradient by double clicking the gradient thumbnail in the Layers panel. This will open up the dialog box again (why Adjustment Layers are so good). Here is a tip: You can actually drag the gradient on the document to change it's position. (When the Gradient Fill Adjustment Layer Options are open.)
This is a fun effect and very quick and easy to apply to add some interesting twists to regular photographs.
Enjoy this tutorial and don't forgeret to drop by PhotoshopCAFE for reqular original tutorials.

Cottonwood Heights • A brightly colored mural depicting the Salt Lake City LDS Temple on fire and a woman in a thong bikini on a concrete wall outside a restaurant is generating a lot of talk.
Jim Stojack, owner of the Canyon Inn at 3700 E. Fort Union Blvd. near the mouth of Big Cottonwood Canyon , said the final design of the mural was a little more than he originally intended.
"All I wanted was a temple up there. That wasn't my call," Stojack said of the flames and the woman wearing a thong. "I drive into the parking lot and said, 'Holy sh--!'"
Apparently others have had a similar reaction, because Cottonwood Heights police and City Council members have gotten calls from people unhappy with the mural — specifically the burning temple.
"It is not so much the right- or left-hand side [of the mural], it is more the religious connotation in the middle," said Tee Tyler, a Cottonwood Heights City Council member. "That is what is expressed generally to me."
Cottonwood Heights Police Chief Robby Russo said he has received a handful of complaints, too, but it's a freedom of speech issue and his hands are tied. He tells callers to contact the owner.
For his part, Stojack — a Catholic married to a Mormon — says the response has been positive.
"I haven't had one complaint; customers thought it was great," said Stojack, who believes many of his customers are Mormon.
The mural was completed over three days about two weeks ago by an artist named Kier. Stojack gave the artist ideas of what he was looking for and the artist "put his art and his flare on it."
"I don't mean to offend anybody," Stojack said. "It is supposed to be provoking, like Van Gogh."
The mural has a banner that reads "Canyon Inn" and the words "don't drink and drive" surrounding the company name. It also depicts a voluptuous woman wearing thong underwear and a bikini top, a police car with a license plate "CRPT 1S" (for "corrupt ones") and a large fire burning at the base of the Salt Lake Temple. There is also alcohol surrounding the temple and two boys holding a cross, wearing white robes and red cords with dollar signs. A beehive is also portrayed.
Stojack said the woman is a rock climber, and a small skier in the background on the other side of the mural is meant to represent Utah's outdoor activities.
The boys in the mural are "two altar boys trying to right the cross." The dollar signs represent "Catholics and Mormons fighting over the almighty dollar," he said.
Tyler said he is "respectful" of freedom of speech rights, saying Stojack "has the right to offend people if he wishes."
Chris Devney and his 9-year-old son from Orlando, Fla., are enjoying the final weeks of the ski season in Utah. They went to the Lifthouse ski shop across the parking lot for supplies.
Devney said he can understand why parts of the mural could be offensive to some, but mostly he says the artist has too much going on in his head.
"I'm not totally offended by it, but I don't get what he is trying to say by it either," he said.
Devney says the mural, which can be seen from the road, may not be friendly for all ages.
"I just tell him not to look," he says about his son. When asked if that works, his son shook his head "no."
Some passersby enjoyed the effort.
"It doesn't bother me in the least," said Cottonwood Heights resident Margaret Gagestein. Her husband said he likes the style of the mural.
"I like the artwork, it is better than a blind wall," said Pete Gagestein. "The subject matter might be a little shaky."
Among other things, Russo said he believes the art is saying something to Cottonwood Heights police officers, who have taken heat from the proprietor in the past for arresting people for driving under the influence near the restaurant, which serves alcohol.
"We think he is trying to send a message [to us] but we aren't going to bite," Russo said.
Stojack said he's happy with the way the mural turned out, but that doesn't mean he won't change some of it in the future.
"I'm always open [to ideas]," Stojack said.
