Carlson, a global hospitality and travel company, today reported a stable sales performance of $37.1 billion in 2013 and global growth across its businesses, including strong hotel development momentum in the U.S.
Carlson, a global hospitality and travel company, today reported a stable sales performance of $37.1 billion in 2013 and global growth across its businesses, including strong hotel development momentum in the U.S.
"Last year we celebrated Carlson's 75th anniversary, and we have many highlights to recognize," said Trudy Rautio, president and chief executive officer, Carlson. "We have seen development and sales growth in key regions around the globe, critical acclaim for our business units and employees and significant contributions to our communities. As we near the end of our foundational Ambition 2015 strategy, we begin to look ahead toward our new transformational strategy, Vision 20/20."
Carlson Wagonlit Travel (CWT) continues to be the world's largest travel management company, reporting strong performance for its business travel activities in 2013. Key growth of $1.9 billion was recorded in new business sales, and the company's specialist business divisions including CWT Energy, Resources & Marine; consulting arm CWT Solutions Group also reported significant growth. Overall sales volume decreased by 2.7 percent to $26.9 billion compared to $27.7 billion1 in 2012, reflecting the continuing variable global economic climate and sequestration efforts in the U.S. that have led to a reduced demand for Military and Government travel.
CWT grew most in the Asia Pacific region, where transactions increased by 4.5 percent year over year2, enhanced by operations in China and Japan. CWT's client satisfaction scores were particularly strong, with a 98 percent retention rate combined with 91 percent satisfaction rate from travel managers, as well as an 88 percent satisfaction rating from travelers themselves.
Last year also saw CWT To Go, CWT's award-winning app, reach 158,000 downloads.
Carlson Rezidor Hotel Group reported systemwide sales of $7.5 billion, a four percent increase over 2012. The company announced a strong increase in new hotel signings, versus the previous year, making 2013 the most successful year for development globally since 2008.
Overall signings increased by 43 percent from 2012, with 66 percent of new hotel signings and 44 percent of all new hotel openings in emerging markets in countries including Brazil, China, India, Indonesia and Russia. The group continues to expand with openings in new and exciting destinations including Barbados, Grenada, and Zambia.
Radisson® announced that its major property improvement, renovation and investment strategy, as well as overall brand positioning for hotels in the U.S. and Canada, is nearing completion with 75 percent of hotels renovated and the remaining 25 percent on track for completion by the end of 2014.
Radisson Blu® opened the highly anticipated Radisson Blu Mall of America and the Radisson Blu Resort & Congress Centre Sochi, a host hotel of the 2014 Winter Olympics. The business also unveiled the conversion of Radisson Plaza-Warwick Hotel Philadelphia to the Radisson Blu Warwick Hotel, Philadelphia and opened Radisson Blu Hotel, Kuwait and Radisson Blu Hotel, Maputo / Mozambique.
Country Inns & Suites By CarlsonSM launched, with great success, a new brand identity and hotel prototype featuring a modern interior and exterior design. The first location opened in Springfield, Ill., in November.
TGI Fridays® has 933 restaurants in operation globally and reported systemwide sales of $2.7 billion, which was flat in comparison to 2012.
Worldwide, 39 new restaurants were opened, with continued momentum internationally, specifically in the U.K. and Shanghai. The brand completed 38 restaurant reimages to its U.S. restaurants. The latest prototype features a fresh, contemporary design that elevates the bar experience, making it the center of activity and unleashing the fun and engaging corner bar vibe that retains the brand's nearly 50-year heritage.
Guest satisfaction scores increased, achieving a record net promoter score in the U.S. throughout 2013. Fridays' same-store sales also exceeded the U.S. casual dining segment in eight of the twelve months in 2013.
Outlook for 2014 and transition to Vision 20/20
"Carlson's outlook for 2014 builds on the momentum established in 2013. We are expecting development and sales growth from all of our businesses," said Rautio.
Rautio added, "Our 2014 activities continue our foundational progress driving us to the goals of Ambition 2015, but they also reflect the shift of our business units to the transformative objectives of Carlson's Vision 20/20. For Carlson, long-term goals remain the same: to create sustainable businesses, build shareholder wealth and drive growth in our businesses."

Bill Condon: I Directed 'Twilight' Because I Had A Crush On Kristen Stewart!
Bill Condon took a breather from the Comic-Con festivities and gave some hints about the upcoming 'Breaking Dawn: Part 1' film. He also admitted his crush on Kristen Stewart had something to do with his choice in directing the films!
Twihards all over the world are counting down the days until Breaking Dawn: Part 1 hits the theaters in November. Director, Bill Condon, broke it down for our sister site, MovieLine, at Comic Con and dished details about his crush on Kristen Stewart! We wonder how Robert Pattinson feels about this puppy love…
When asked why he took the job as director, Bill admitted, "Because it's all told from Bella's point of view, I don't know why I hook into her so much especially in this story."
He added, "And my Kristen Stewart crush, you know? The idea that she was going to take this journey, I was really exciting to collaborate with her on that."
Wow, we totally love K-Stew — it makes sense that Bill would too!
Bill also talked about all of the different scenes that were hard to film. Let's be honest, it can't be easy filming the birth of a half vampire child or the sex scene between a woman and a vampire.
Speaking about the imprinting scene Bill said, "I think it had to be told visually from Jacob's point of view, but Jacob as magic creature. That's the thing, that's what it represents. It's his magical wolf part that's being expressed there, it's not the guy who goes to high school and is on the reservation. Once you key into what the essential thing is, it helps to visualize it."
All we know for sure is that Robert, Kristen and Taylor Lautner will be at their finest and most extreme selves in these films. November cannot come fast enough!
Would YOU have a crush on Kristen? Sound off below!

Can I fire a woman whose pregnancy is preventing her from doing the job she was hired to do?
From: Frequently asked questions
It is discrimination if you fire, demote or lay off an employee because she is or may become pregnant or she is away on maternity leave or disability leave related to pregnancy. Employers have a duty to accommodate a pregnant woman unless it would cause undue hardship. This may include changing her job duties temporarily or providing time off work.

There's something about cute little penguins dancing that makes me smile. If you saw the movie Happy Feet you know what I mean. The cuddly, cheerful penguin Mumble can't sing (are penguins supposed to be able to sing?), but can dance (although not encouraged in the penguin world). Mumble dances with joy and enthusiasm. And we smile.
I don't tap. I don't even dance. I lean more towards the athlete (and I use that term loosely) column than the dancer column. But I have great appreciation for the physical abilities of dancers, and I love to watch dance. As Director of Programming for the Butler Community School (BCS) I try to watch the dance classes as often as I can. Recently I watched a few tap classes. There is something exciting about the sound of metal taps on a floor; about dancing and creating music simultaneously; about the joy and enthusiasm I see on faces. Tap is a 'feel-good' dance; happy feet! It makes me smile.
Last week I peeked in on the BCS Kid's Zone tap class, and also watched the teen/adult advanced tap. The other night, while watching the tappers in the BCS Musical Theatre Workshop rehearse a number from Anything Goes for the upcoming performance of Broadway in May, memories of Mitzi Gaynor and Bing Crosby came flooding back. It made me smile. The Broadway in May tappers were having the time of their lives. I had to ask them, "What makes you so happy when you tap?"
Mary Kinney takes BCS Tap classes with Danny Herman and is also enrolled in the BCS Musical Theatre Workshop. She has this to say about tap, "Tap is a fun way to get an amazing workout. I love making music with my feet! Tap is a great stress relief!"
Scout Wilkinson said, "I've been tapping on and off for 10 years (Which is 3/4 of my lifetime). Tap class is the highlight of my week. Danny Herman is so fun. He always praises us, even if it's just for trying to master a step we're not quite skilled enough to actually do. Even when we're working hard it's always okay for us to joke and laugh with each other. I'm sure I'll never find a tap class that I love more. Tap makes me smile."
So come tap away your stress, get an amazing workout, have fun, smile, and make music with your happy feet!

this looks amazing, will try it soonishReplyDelete
these are the best fish fingers I have ever layed eys on, how delish this must have beenReplyDelete
Wow, homemade fish fingers! I have to confess that fish fingers are one of the very few convenience foods that we eat regularly... shh... we just (secretly) love them... Really, why not try to make them at home? That Mango Chutney sounds delish too, it's a shame you cannot find a ripe mango in Riga :-(ReplyDelete
When I first read the title I thought to myself "fish don't have fingers" ha I kid, I kid!ReplyDelete
Anyways, these sound great! I love how you added so much flavor to them! I usually make mine pretty plain, I've got to try these!
Love mango chutney! this looks yummy.ReplyDelete
@MoOn: Thanks.ReplyDelete
@Jennifurla: Yes, they were delish!
@Alina: You should try making it at home and substitute the ripe mango with frozen mango.
@Amanda: Cute ;-)
@alyce: Thanks.
Down with frozen fish fingers made of chemicals and goop! This looks awesome, Angie!ReplyDelete
Those fish fingers look nice and crispy and the marinade sounds tasty!ReplyDelete
@Melody Fury & @Kevin: Thank you for the comments.ReplyDelete
Made these over the weekend - they were amazing. Thank you!ReplyDelete

Great Visit!
Our consultation with Dr. Upchurch was so informative and he took the time to talk with both me and my husband, who was there for the consult. Office personnel were friendly and helpful. Looking forward to starting treatment for my husband.
Great service and very friendly staff
I have been to a few chiropractors over the years and this by far was the best experience I've had. They were very attentive to my current situation and answered any and all questions I had. Cant wait to begin my journey to a better and healthier way of living with this team.
Individual focus
The doctors always take the time to focus on each patient and review your individual needs.
We were well informed on what would take place and how we could be helped. The staff was very knowledgeable, friendly, and supportive of our current needs and concerns. We would definitely recommend and encourage others to visit this facility to experience the exceptional service and care that we received. Thank you Dr. Upchurch and Staff.
A great first impression!
Everyone was friendly, professional, and well informed. They were familiar with my previous medical experiences and the conversation revolved around issues that were relevant to my situation. I am looking forward to my next appointment.
Very professional, swift, in and out appointments.. great staff.. 5 stars not enough..!!!
Very knowledgeable, couldn't imagine a better experience
Friendly competent staff
Been going here for over a year, it is amazing how much my quality of life has improved.
Love Dr, Chad and his staff
We Just moved back to Michigan , and Monday was our last visit with Dr, Chad , One thing I will miss the Most is the Family feel of the office My husband had a bad Accident for yours ago , and the girls and Chad took great care of him and Me both, Kimmy, Jessica , Katie, Cassie went out of there way to make sure we had what we need! Love them is all I can say!!!!!!!!!!
Everyone cares about people. I had a message and it was great. It helps me stay mobile.
Like magic
Im pretty sure if you are in pain, they can get you out of pain. I wasn't a believer at first until I actually got on the table. He readjusted a few things and for, the first time in a long time, I could walk without having pain in my left leg. I am more than happy with making my appointments and I now look forward to going to the doctor. Getting a consultation and adjustments from this place is probably the best health decision I've ever made. You should make the decision to go too!
Super Fast
Super fast and no wait. Always friendly and helpful.
Quality Services
My husband and myself completed our first visit today . We were both impressed with the attentive detailed way these folks worked to meet our chiropractic needs. The staff was friendly, courteous, and professional. We were also cleared to move forward with treatment in a timely manner after tests/x-rays were reviewed. Great experience I would recommend to my family and friends!
I appreciated dr Upchurch seeing me on my problem with the VA not paying for my chiropractic service in Jan 03 2018- Apr 2018 plus 5 paid visits on my BoA credit card for Jul 24th $45, 25th $45, 26th $45,Aug 1 $45, & Aug 6th $45. Dr Upchurch Listened intently and was very understanding. I talked about the deposit of $750.00 for treatment until the VA paid for the service anr at that time Life Source would refund my $750.00 dollars.I gave the Doctor a letter the VA sent me for payment to a Dr May of Nashville who the VA recommended for care i needed for pain in my back. The Payment to Dr May was for 3 (Three) adjustments and 1 phone call to cancel the service that was not working for me. Dr Upchurch had helped me and i was responding positively to his Service. I have had 2 Chiropractors and 2 Physical Therapists since then by recommendation from the VA. And so far not very helpful. Dr Upchurch was the only Chiropractor who actually had helped with my back pain.
Efficient and very pleasant
Excellent service/ treatment
The staff is very friendly, the doctors / nurse are extremely knowledgeable about what they do, and the teaching environment is interesting . We look forward to our visits.
Informative and Professional
I went for X-rays and consult this morning. I felt they were interested in my health history and how to fulfill my desire to obtain a more natural way of healing, in spite of past surgeries and medications. Going back tomorrow for results and a plan!!
Very friendly and thorough staff
All if the staff is very friendly. They take time to listen to the patient and seem to care about them. They are very thorough.
Everyone was very friendly and professional. Everything was explained thoroughly. The atmosphere is warm and inviting. I highly recommend checking them out!
The staff is very friendly and the doctors are very knowledgeable and concerned with my needs and fears. I'm looking forward to healing my body properly and with good company! Thank you Nathaniel Coutorie
Very Professional and friendly.
Love Jessica, the procedure hurt but she tried her best to comfort me. This brace on the other hand keeps sliding down and very hard to deal with.
I feel as everyone there has my best interest at heart.. I thank God for introducing them to me. As we go forward we are going to work together on my sugar plunges and still able to lose weight. May God bless each one there.
This was really surprising. Truly, i avoid going to any health professional in Dickson for any reason. I ran into friends at the Dickson flea market who told me about the amazing results they have gotten from Dr. Upchurch. I actually abandoned my previous Chiropractor in Franklin, and for 4 months have been just toughing it out. Nothing terrible, just mild discomfort. I have not had a treatment yet, as i have only had one visit for exam, tests and exrays. I left there feeling like i have struck gold. The staff, and both doctors talked to me, and took a comprehensive look at my condition, and listened to what i told them. Imagine THAT!!!! I think i am in good hands now, and am looking forward to the analysis of my tests and first treatment. drummmm rollllllllllllll !!!!!!!!!!
They were very helpful.
They were very helpful.
Quick service, very professional, lots of smiles...
Have been going there for a little over a year, could not be happier with the service provider..! 👍
Excellent service
The service was excellent for my initial (intake) appointment. It consisted primarily of x-rays and a cursory back check along with some discussion of the findings of the physical check. I expect that my next appointment will be an in depth analysis and discussion of possible ways to attack my problem(s). The staff is very nice and the office (the physical space) is clean and very pleasant. This was my first experience with a chiropractor and it is far too soon for me to recommend the place to others or to make a definitive statement regarding it's efficacy.
Stem Cell treatment
So far so good on the stem cell. ask me in a month.
I recently received my first treatment from Dr. Upchurch for severe back and leg pain. It was my first chiropractic treatment, ever. Within hours of leaving his office, my pain was a fraction of what it was before being treated. I will definitely be back to see him.
Exceptional service
Jessica is amazing! I always look forward to my massage and adjustment, it always makes me feel so much better and relaxed. The chiropractor filling in for Dr. Chad was awesome, he gave me one heck of an adjustment. The staff as a whole team is great caring friendly folks. I look forward to my time with them.
I had a great experience .Dr. Chad was very thorough with the consult and the steps he wants to take to get me better
I have had Great Experiences at all of my visits. The friendly atmosphere is undeniable! I have had great progress since my 1st visit.
Excellent Care
Dr. Chad's office has always taken excellent care of me.They are concerned about peoples health. He has an excellent team working with him. I recommend everyone who has a chiropractic issue to let this group of people help you! Also, if you have a weight problem I personally recommend the program they offer! I have had Stem Cell treatment and I am so glad! No more burning in my knees! No more pain at night keeping me awake!
I was very happy with my visit. I believe the entire staff was competent & honest. I never felt I was being misled or pressured. I felt good about my entire encounter. I'm looking forward to the treatment I agreed to. It's good to know there are still "Straight Shooters" in the Medical Field. Thank You for the genuine sincerity I felt @ my 1st appointment.😊
Stem Cell Seminar
Attended the stem cell regeneration seminar. Very informative. I have been a patient as well as my daughter with Dr. Chap Upchurch. Always caring and professional. He knows his stuff. More about getting better rather than just feeling better.
awesome experience
Jamie is phenomenal, it's nice to deal with someone who understands the the heretic life we lead. Jamie is tops, all the way around
Today was my first visit with Doctor Chad. I was very impressed with the over all experience, ,the staff was so informative and professional,,courtesy and kindness was top of the scale...will certainly recommend Life Source !!.
Amazing Service
Dr. Chad and his staff are always friendly and very helpful. We wouldn't go anywhere else!
Professional, Friendly and Happy!
I've been a customer for a few years. Brought my very skeptical husband (finally) everyone made him feel right at home and he was very impressed and excited to start his journey in chiropractic care. Dr Chad and his staff are the best!
Friendly, professional chiropractic care
I have been a patient of Dr Chad and his team for over a year. I have received excellent care and great results. Great value and caring environment.
Qualty Service
All of the staff that I have dealt with has been GREAT and VERY PROFESSIONAL the only way I can see how it would be any better is for it to be free lol
Very friendly. Get great service. Very clean
Prompt appointment -no waiting very friendly
This office is amazing in every way!
Migraine Free Thanks to Life Source
I used to suffer from frequent migraines, at least 1 a week. My productivity suffered at work and at home. I started getting adjustments from Dr. Chad a little over a year ago. He doesn't just adjust you, he explains to you what's going on and answers any questions you may have. I've been migraine free for the past eight months. My productivity at work has been boosted and without the pain I have the energy to do more at home. I've also received many wonderful massages at times that work with my schedule. Dr. Chad and his team are very friendly and make you feel comfortable.
Professional and friendly office
I was very pleased with my first visit. Everyone was professional and courteous. The visit was primarily getting information and ex-rays and a postural exam and a few other tests to determine the treatment needed. I am looking forward to the consultation and treatment plan. I know how much chiropractic has helped me in the past and I am pleased to find someone here who I think is very competent, knowledgeable, and caring. I have gone to chiropractors for about 40 years and I really missed having one to go to after moving here. I love natural healing modalities.
Was good getting good results no waiting for treatment
I feel good about Chad and his staff very educational this is my last stop for back & leg pain let's hope it works.
Professional staff and very friendly.
It's important to me, because of so many issues regarding the health of my spine, that I keep issues from becoming worse. Dr. Chad is always encouraging and I feel that my health has improved generally since I've been seeing him. I also have Jessica give me a message every other week. She's terrific and I always feel so much better after seeing her. The staff is very friendly and helpful.
Professional and Friendly
I was very nervous when I arrived for my appointment not knowing what the news was going to be about my back, but after meeting with Dr. Chad and talking with him he made me feel very comfortable and assured that he can help me to feel good again. Dr. Chad and his staff is very polite and caring.
Everyone is great!!!! Love you all!
Very professional and friendly
When I walked through the door I was scared not knowing what to expect, but just after a few minutes of being there the Life Source team made me feel relaxed and comfortable (a homey feeling). Dr. UpChurch was very professional and polite.
Friendly and peaceful atmosphere
Amazed can't wait for next time
The doctor was amazing and very knowledgeable and his staff was super courteous and all out nice.
The staff was very friendly and helpful. Their main concern was getting me back healthy. I love that I am not being forced to take physical therapy or medicine to cover up the pain!!!
Always friendly, professional service.
For 15 years I have been coming to Dr. Upchurch's office. He has always been professional and patient with an old Norwegian-Irish grandmother from South Dakota! At almost 80 years of age, I am thankful for adjustments and advice that Dr. Chad gives even though I have deterioration in bones etc. I still get up at 4:30 in the morning, mow my yard and enjoy life! The ladies on his staff are dear young women who are always pleasant, helpful and gracious!
High quality professionals.
Everything was completely explained and questions were answered.
Every time i come in there its like a relief. I really enjoy coming in to get adjusted im starting to tell the difference in how i feel i dont hurt nowhere near as bad as i did before and i thank everyone there for makeing it a comfortable environment to be in , its soothing and relaxing and everyone that works there are nice and courteous.
About time I found a great Chiropractor
Love getting regular adjustments again. I'm starting to feel better and get more energy.
Worth every penny
Great and caring staff who make sure you understand what's going on and make you feel better.
1st Visit to a Chiropractor
A Friend recommended this office to me because of a lot of health issues I have been experiencing. Dr UpChurch and his staff were all very knowledgeable, friendly, concerned about my problems and very specific in explaining your spine and how it works. I look forward to future visits and to gain my good health back.
It was amazing how much better my neck felt..and my son said the same thing..
Everyone so nice great experience would recommend to everyone
Informative, contentious, and professional
Just had a great experience with a very professional and knowledgeable staff. Made me feel like I was their number one priority. Highly recommend.
Awesomely Wonderful
My son was nervous about seeing Chiropractor but After his assistants took coul care of US and Dr Upchurch sat him down explaining everything thing these visits would involve and after that You could see look of relief come over my sons face ..Thanks from the both of us..Kim and Matthew
Friendly courteous staff, fast service
First visit
Very informative first visit. Looking forward to getting well
Very Nice People!!!
Very friendly staff. Prompt!! Little to no wait time. Dr. Upchurch is very tactful and explains things in great detail. He will answer any questions you have and is very courteous. I would highly recommend Life Source and Dr. Upchurch.
Amazing how much better I feel after seeing you today!!!!! AMAZING! thank you guys! You are number 1 overall~~
Quick and pleasant.
I've been here a few times with my other half while she's gotten adjustments and it's always been a great experience. I decided to take advantage of the toy drive and become a customer and my experience was top notch. Chad explained everything to me up front so there weren't any surprises and I understood just exactly what I was getting into. Looking forward to reviewing my results and starting my treatment!
quality service
Great service and very friendly and professional staff.
everything went well
ALWAYS on top of my back/neck changes
I've been coming here for well over a year. I've received nothing but the best care, concern and working with me financially. Jessica does my massages, her positive energies and her smile, put me and my body at ease, making me feel like a million bucks. Dr Chad, well, he listens, and gets right to the root of the issue, not swaying or this or that. My back and neck haven't felt this good in over 15 years. He's honest with his beliefs of what can be done, what can be prevented and what is already to far gone for whatever reason. Then there Cassie and Cadie (spell check here lol), when you walk in the front door and are great, not only by name, but with smiles, a joke, (if they know you and your nature), and always asking how are you, hows the family....these two ladies are the front lines of this business...and we all know, first impressions come from the front line. I thank then ALL for their dedication, commitment to excellence and peaceful, happy atmosphere! Bonnie Paul
Wonderful Chiropractor!
Love everybody at this office!
Friendly and helpful
Love the staff and love Dr Chad. Would recommend them to anyone.
Good care
My back was really hurting. Dr. Chad helped it tremendously.
Office Visit
A very friendly and helpful staff. Love the Customer Appreciation Week.
Massage and Adjustment
Jessica did my massage today (much needed massage after vacation driving) and as usual did a wonderful job. Thank to everyone at Life Source I'm healthier then I have ever been.
Definitely would recommend
Im just getting started but i feel good about this..and i feel really good already..
First visit
Today was first visit with Dr Chad. The whole office experience was wonderful. All staff members were pleasant and appeared happy to be working. In the medical field this is sometimes a challenge. This office does cheeriness with ease. Every patient is treated like a friend they have known forever. What a pleasant experience. I am truly looking forward to working with is whole team. They are wonderful!!!
Friendly and professional
My xrays were not there so l didn't get any treatment.
I would recommend this practice to others. Everyone was professional and kind. Dr. Chad Upchurch was professional and knowledgeable.
Friendly and informative Staff that made me feel comfortable
Staff was very friendly. Dr. Upchurch made me feel comfortable and was very informative. Overall it was a great visit!
First visit
Wonderful and very friendly staff. i was scheduled to be seen at 4:45 and called to see if I could come in earlier than scheduled time and the friendly staff there allowed me to do so. The staff works with your busy life schedule. Had a really great experience!!
intensive treatment
three times a week for at least a month...or more...and with just three treatments, my lower back is so much better. My neck is getting there, but will take time. Dr Chad has the touch and understanding for his patients.
Dr Chad
As always Dr Chad was honest and forthcoming with what and how long my treatment will be....that is appreciated. Not talking "down to people" is a key thing with him. He talks to you, takes the time to explain and answer your questions, even if they may seem silly or stupid. It's my body, I know what it's doing wrong, and he's going to help me fix it.
Outstanding quality of care and customer service
I have been a patient for approximately 2 years now and wish I had known about Lifesource sooner. I always extend my 30 minute massages to 1 hour for a reason. The licensed massage therapists here are the best, and exceed any spa massage I've had. Today's massage from Kimi was no exception. Follow that up with an adjustment from Dr. Chad and I'm a new woman! My sinus and allergy problems are minimal these days thanks to these routine appointments. My 2 1/2 year old's wonderful health is also a testament to Lifesource. A visit to Lifesource is like seeing old friends. The support staff are amazing, and everyone is super friendly. I'll be a lifelong patient for sure, and so will my daughter!
Friendly and Professional
I came in for an adjustment and use of the rolling table. I have been having pain down my left leg. The pain has been getting better with each visit. The staff has always been very friendly and polite. I will continue using this facility and recommending you to my friends and family.

Normally, I can do so with a download manager. But when those websites don't support download resume, it's impossible for me download them.
So, I was thinking of making a php file (using awardspace) that would load the whole file there is it's memory for me to download. The reason downloading it though a proxy (like awardspace) is because awardspace supports resume download.
Does anyone know of better ways of doing this? Or if not, does any one know any php that might accomplish this?

Teaching the Taliban a lesson
Today in Afghanistan the Taliban are celebrating their victory over the world's largest army. It's annoying for us, but its devasting for the people who live there.

Pardons push limits of fair punishment
Former governor Rod Blagojevich has had his prison sentence commuted and may receive a full pardon from President Trump in the near future. This was announced the same time he pardoned former San Francisco 49ers owner Edward J. DeBartolo Jr. who pleaded guilty to bribery and extortion after agreeing to hand over $400,000 in $100 dollar bills to the governor of Louisiana for a gambling license.

Days might be numbered for presses, but not for newspapers
Jim Nowlan and I go back a long way, and I can't think of anyone I know who I respect more. That being said, I have a much less dystopian view of the future of newspapers, and particularly community journalism, than the one Jim shared his piece, "Stop the hand-wringing over decline of newspapers," a couple weeks ago. We are a much better product than we give ourselves credit for, and for those committed to community journalism, I believe we have a much brighter future than what some might think.

Stone sentence illustrates court problem
The Federal Sentencing Guidelines went into effect while I was serving as a Judicial Clerk to a federal judge here in Illinois. The judge had been on the bench since Carter had nominated him and this was some years later. One of the policy changes the new administrations thought needed was to remove discretion from judges when it came to sentencing.

Why not wait until votes are counted?
I recall waiting up to hear if Eisenhower had been elected president. It was exciting because it was the first time I was allowed to stay up late. The radio announcer kept reminding the listeners that it was important to wait until all of the votes were counted and tabulated before the winner could be announced, and mentioned an earlier election in which Dewey was thought to have defeated Truman and how newspaper headlines saying as much got it wrong.

Does Illinois need a national park?
There are 61 national parks. California has nine. Illinois has none.
In the past couple of years, the Arch in St. Louis and the Dunes in northwestern Indiana have both been designated as national parks. Illinois had better rattle its tin cup out in D.C., as it appears to be "let's get a park" season.
Do you have any nominees? I do.

Letting go of, and holding onto, the past
I have a better than average memory - at least as far as I recall. I also have a habit of keeping things from my past, partly because we moved around a good deal when I was little and I learned that show and tell wasn't just for kindergarten. "That's right, this rock came from the Alamo..." and such things always added a distraction to the desire to be looked at less critically.

Friday's a special day to remember our POW/MIAs
Sept. 21 is POW/MIA Day - a day to recognize our nation's prisoners of war and those missing in action. It is a day set aside to salute the men and women who have served and sacrificed to keep America free, and to recognize the families of our missing service members (who continue to hope and pray that their loved ones will someday come home).

Little worth celebrating in rate deal

Springfield mess: it's not the process, it's the people
Since the Illinois General Assembly's spring session passed the May 31 deadline and lurched into overtime, a growing chorus of media outlets, special interests and taxpayers are declaring "the system is broken."

Overtime session: Casinos may play part in solution
It was indeed an interesting week in Springfield leading up to the May 31 budget deadline. A budget did not pass both the House and Senate before the deadline, so it seems that any budget that is passed will now take a super-majority rather than a simple majority.

Power-rate 'relief' doesn't fix the larger problem
It has now been almost five months since Ameren and Commonwealth Edison customers saw their electric rates spike in January. In Springfield, this issue has been the subject of much discussion and heated debate, but very little action. While members of both parties have pushed for rate relief in varying forms, the state's leaders have thus far refused to work together to allow for any solution.

Tough decisions needed this week on state budget
With the deadline for a budget to be completed looming Thursday, there are very few who believe an agreement will be reached before the scheduled end to the 2007 spring session of the Illinois General Assembly.

Prospect of late session only part of budget puzzle
Most of the discussions in Springfield this past week centered on the realization that now that the governor's gross-receipts tax has been defeated, a budget still must be crafted within the next couple of weeks to avoid an overtime session of the General Assembly. The scheduled adjournment date for the spring session is May 31.

Few options left to deal with tax, spending issues

Who wants to talk about spending?
As the Illinois General Assembly's 2007 session progresses, several topics of importance are beginning to dominate the debate in the Capitol. But by far the most prominent discussion is whether a major tax increase will be enacted, and if so, how much that may be.

A confession: In praise of cowboys
I've got a confession to make: I am not a cowboy - and never was.
Oh, I wear cowboy boots, Levis, Western belts and shirts and don't get my hair cut much. But I am not a authentic cowboy, even though I got my first pair of cowboy boots when one of my father's friends gave me a pair of his when I was about eight and helped out on the farm.

The thrill of discovery
With the help of computer analysis, a team of Wheaton scholars has uncovered a 1,200-year-old secret about an Old English poem.
English Professor Michael Drout's summer research students discovered in June that the author of the 10th century poem "Christ III" created the work not out of whole cloth, as previously believed, but by dividing an older poem into two pieces and then inserting new material in the middle. This discovery led the scholars to further insights about the nature of the historic text.
"Using computer programs written by Wheaton students and techniques developed at Wheaton over the past four summers, the team was able to figure out what was sitting on an anonymous author's desk over a millennium ago," Drout said. "We determined that the unknown author had a written source, that it was in the form of poetry rather than prose, and that the source was already old when our author adapted it."
The team reached these conclusions by using an original methodology they call Lexomics, which refers to the use of computer programs to conduct statistical analyses of text, employing cluster analysis and other techniques, and in a sense treating a written text as a genome. Wheaton students helped build the cutting-edge software that enables them to analyze the frequency, distribution and arrangement of words in patterns. The data they gather gives the scholars insight into factors such as where and when a piece was written, and what kinds of sources the author used.
Drout and Mark LeBlanc, professor of computer science, joined forces four years ago to find ways to apply computer analysis to literary research. The pair began to lead student researchers in the dissection of many ancient texts, including some of Shakespeare's works as well as the epic poem Beowulf.
After the spring semester ended in May, the team started analyzing a variety of Anglo-Saxon poems. When studying long poems, the researchers divide the piece into segments before running their analyses—in the case of "Christ III," five sections of 1,000 words each. Looking at the data, Drout and rising senior Elie Chauvet '14 noticed an odd concentration of the alphabetical symbol called "eth" (which denoted the "th" sound) in the first and fifth segments. Other parts of the poem, however, favored the letter "thorn," which denoted the same sound but was used more frequently at a later time period.
Chauvet, who is an English major, wrote a computer program that visually graphed the ratio of thorns to eths throughout the poem. The researchers concluded that parts of the piece had been written by someone else at a much earlier time and were borrowed by the "Christ III" poet.
"Our team now knows that the author of 'Christ III' had a text that doesn't exist anymore, that was lost hundreds and hundreds of years ago. We know that it was on his desk, and that he put together this more complex poem based on this material," Drout said.
Chauvet, now in his second summer of working on Drout's team, aspires to become a professor of Medieval literature someday. "This research is not only good for my career plans," Chauvet said, "it's also just really fascinating."
The Wheaton Lexomics team has published a number of scholarly articles on their research. Later this summer, Drout, LeBlanc and four students will travel to Dublin to present a hands-on Lexomics workshop to graduate students and elite Anglo-Saxon scholars at the Biennial Conference of the International Society of Anglo-Saxonists.
Professor Michael Drout explains the Lexomic analysis of Beowulf, while Natasha Piirainen '14 works on generating a dendrogram—a tree diagram that illustrates similarities and differences between sections of a text.

Celebrities Who Have Been Married 4 (or More!) Times
Famous people seem to have a knack for binge marrying. Divorces and weddings come and go with such frequency that it can become difficult to remember who's spouse is whose.What celebrities have the most marriages? This list includes both men who have gone through multiple wives, and women who have gone through multiple husbands. It makes one wonder why someone would be willing to marry someone who has been married countless times before. It would seem fame has yet another advantage.

Dr. Shumer is absolutely the best. I wouldn't go anywhere else.
Absolutely deserving of 5 Stars plus! Great staff, got me in right away. Really took care of me, I'll refer anyone asking!
As a returning patient, checking in was fast and easy. The staff was very friendly an approachable. The wait time was excellent, the was clean an organized. The doctor and her assistant was very engaging with me, listen to all of my questions and concerns.
This visit deserved 5 stars definitely. My first trip to a dermatologist. I actually looked them up on my healthcare website. The front office staff was welcoming and efficient. The young woman who called me in was thorough and very nice. I saw Dr. Yaldo who is a young woman which I love supporting women. Im glad I chose this office.
The very best! Dr. Shumer and his staff are superstars.
Dr. Pickett and her staff are very informative, professional and attentive with every visit. The results from her treatments has restore my hope in a resolve for my dermatological challenges. I am extremely pleased with my services !!!
Dr. Shumer is an outstanding clinician and a real human being. He has provided service for my family and I for many years. He is the best.
My appointments with Dr Shumer are always very professional and happily personal, too. I feel quite comfortable knowing my examination will be precise and thorough. Dr Shumer has my complete trust to help and guide me. The many lesions I have had treated allows me to know how well I am cared for. I have been a patient for a number of decades and my confidence could never be higher.
Dr. Yaldo is amazing. She is so patient and kind with my skin needs. Really takes the time to talk and explain it.
Very thorough and prompt on their appointments.
Dr. Pickett did a great job of clearing my hands of a bad rash. I will see her again if I have other skin problems
Very nice and I felt comfortable with doctor and staff!!!
I've been going to Franklin Dermatology for over twenty years. My office visits have always been pleasant. The doctors have done a very good job meeting my skin care needs.
Dr. Shumer is an experienced and capable doctor. He does his work with care, he explains what he is doing, and he answers all my questions. Well Done.
We have been long time patients of Dr. Schumer and each time the treatment we receive is always outstanding.Dr. Schumer takes the time to fully explain the treatment he is administring. He is just an outstanding dermatologist. Thank you!!
Tracy is absolutely extraordinary! The personalization and care provided are over the top!
I have been a patient of Dr. Shumer for decades and I would not even consider seeing another dermatologist. More than anything else is Dr. Shumer's willingness to discuss at length treatments and findings with no time limit. Everyone in the office is efficient, but also warm and welcoming. Following any procedure that requires a biopsy, I receive a phone call within a day or two to discuss the findings.
The service was GOOD and they seem to be genuinely concern.
I receive the best care from Dr. Schumer . . . . Very helpful and highly skilled.
Very little wait time. The staff was very friendly and excellent. The Dr. Bruener was excellent
Great surgeon & staff. Would have liked written instructions (text or email?) post surgery & post stitch removal.
I went in recently for my annual check up and saw Ashley Aldridge. She is my regular point of contact at this office, but I have seen Dr. Bruner a few times as well. I have nothing but good things to say about both of them. Both have impeccable bedside manner and take all concerns to heart. My most recent check up was for a full body check on moles. Being midwinter in Michigan, the office was freezing cold so I wasn't exactly looking forward to doing this. I was pleasantly surprised when the assistant turned on a space heater to make the room a little more comfortable. When Dr. Aldridge came in, she noticed I was standing by the space heater and brought it a little closer to the table so I'd be more comfortable. It's these little extra things that have me returning to this office. Nothing but great experiences here, and I will continue to return again in the future.
Excellent Service .. Doctor Shumer and his Team are GREAT !!
I was very pleased with the physician. Some of the instructions were given somewhat quickly. I had to remind the assistant that I was to be given 2 samples, and then she only gave me one. Otherwise, it was a very good experience.
Dr. Schumer literally saved my father's life, and he has been a very well-loved, respected and valued physician for my family. He provides the best care!
Dr Michelle Bruner is amazing. I'm impressed with how honest and thorough she was, and her commitment to making sure I was comfortable with everything she was doing and her surgeon recommendation. She really went above and beyond in her level of care with me. I had to have a Mohs Surgery done on my face and Dr Michael Whitworth in this same practice did it for me, upon Dr Bruner's recommendation. He was gentle and explained everything to me and made sure I was comfortable the entire time. They both knew how nervous I was and scheduled me for a consultation to go through everything right away. Also because I had to do the surgery very fast, they made a slot for me the morning after a holiday and fit me in right away so I could get it done ASAP. Both doctors and the staff were very attentive to my anxiety and concerns. I highly recommend this practice and the doctors within it. The only drawback is that you have to wait every time you go have an appointment, but I will wait to get this level of care. 5 stars and patient for life. Thank you Drs Bruner and Whitworth. And a special thanks to Ms Lainey who calls with results because she was so patient and Understanding especially since she herself has had skin cancer removed. She offered to talk anytime I needed which I thought was very sweet and I liked the level of personal care from all the people I interacted with at this office.
Dr. Brunner is AWESOME..! The staff is very professional and friendly.
I have had a wonderful experience with Dr. Michelle Bruner at Franklin Dermatology and felt the need to share as I know finding a trust-worthy, honest and intelligent physician with incredible bedside manner is tough to find these days! When consulting with Dr. Bruner about skincare, she was very transparent about which products I need/don't which is refreshing as I feel like many places can be very "salesy." She is also very knowledgeable about product safety, especially when it comes to kids, and helped guide me through establishing a safe skin regimen for my littles. She is super personable and doesn't make me feel self conscience for asking a million questions : ) Can't recommend Dr. Bruner and her practice enough!
They are the best!!!! PERIOD
Had an appointment with Dr. Michelle Bruen, very straight forward and extremely thorough. Office staff was extremely friendly. My new place for my dermatology needs.
I love Dr. Rubin and the staff, they are always warm and friendly when I visited.
Great Dr's and staff. Very professional and personable.
I've been a patient for years. Excellent care, excellent doctors, excellent staff. More than 30 years, to be exact, as we discovered when we checked the initial removal of a repigmenting mole Dr. Michelle Bruner scraped off..
Fine professional service.
Tamy never gave me my skin lotion.
Dr. Shumer is the best! He takes care of my entire family! His staff is always a pleasure to be around and always kind!
I've been coming here for many years, and always treated well, with reasonable speed (for a doctors' office!) But speed isn't the main thing: it's thoroughness and paying attention, and here I'd give six or seven stars if possible. I came in once as a drop-in, when my regular doctor was not there, and doctor who saw me (for the first time!), noticed a small spot on the top of my head. She asked me about it, recommended a biopsy, and it was a melanoma, caught at the earliest detectable stage, one-tenth of a millimeter. It was removed three years ago, and so far with no further consequences.
Love Franklin Dermatology!! Best decision I made by coming here. Dr. Bruner is amazing.
Very professional staff.
This week I had a consultation and some injections from Tracey and she was amazing! I didn't tell anyone I was having them done and she was so skilled that people kept asking me what was different about me but they couldn't tell I had Botox, cheek and lip fillers! Definitely will be back! Also Rachaell is hands down one of the best estheticians I have ever been to in my life!
Everyone was terrific as past visit to Dr schumer
Easy to reach, courteous and helpful. A friendly, knowledgeable staff that makes you feel at ease. Dr. Rubin is caring, professional and a good listener. I certainly recommend Franklin Dermatology and Surgical Center.
Diane C is one of the best nurses in dermatology that I know. She does my hydrafacials and prior to this technology she did other treatments. She always goes above and beyond. So informative and knowledgeable. Top notch practitioner and all around extraordinary person.
Dr. Rubin is super nice and talented. Nice staff too :)
Have regular annual screenings with Dr. Shumer. He is friendly, well qualified and professional. The office staff is helpful and friendly.
Dr. Cory Ruben was truly excellent. He was highly effective and efficient. I highly recommend this practice.
Dr. MIchelle Bruner is very thorough and extremely caring. I feel very confident with her taking care of all of my dermatological needs.
Highly Recommend ADCS
I have never been in an office where everyone from doctors to staff is all smiles and sweetness all around. They truly are welcoming people. I'm so happy I found them to help with all my needs.
Dr. Cory Rubin is superb. His expertise is evident; his bedside manor is friendly, consultative and reassuring; his decisions are thoughtful; and his treatments are implemented with efficiency and easy to understand explanations. He will be my dermatologist forever!
The staff is very kind and very welcoming.
Traci is the best!
Omg this is a wonderful doctor office i would refer anyone there
This is an excellent dermatology practice. Dr. Bruner is always professional and friendly and on time with her appointments. The office staff is super helpful and welcoming. I've been going to the doctors at this practice for several years and wouldn't go anywhere else.
Early detection of a tiny melanoma, removed 30 months ago. I haven't forgotten!
I go to Dr. Burner and she is wonderful, she listened to my Concerns and really got my skin back on track, the staff there is super nice and professional
Dr. Rubin is a great dermatologist. He really knows his stuff!
The front office is caring and professional. I saw Dr. Rubin and the entire experience was positive. I hardly had to wait even though I was a last minute appointment. I was impressed with the way I was handled. I had an outbreak of hives, extremely itchy and ;had not slept in nights. Lainie, the doctor's assistant, was extremely helpful through what has been a real ordeal. I feel I was in the best care possible.
I had a very good experience when I came here a couple weeks ago to have moles removed. The wait was a little long (but no longer than an average dr office), but the procedure was quick and painless! The staff is all friendly and helpful. I was recommended to office by my mother who I know has also had very good experiences with them. I had no problems, and will be returning again for other procedures.
New Aesthetician - Rachell
I came in for my dermatology appointment and learned there was a new aesthetician, Rachell. My Dr. asked her to come in for a consult and I am very glad she did! Rachell was able to get me in right away for a dermaplaning procedure, I had never heard of this before. After 1 treatment, I bought the whole package, my skin as never felt better. She also recommended some products for some of the issues I am having with my skin as I am older. Not once did I ever feel that I was being pushed or rushed, on the whole it was a wonderful experience! Thank you Rachell for your help, I will be back soon!
I was wowed!!! I came in was greeted with a smile, my wait time wasn't long at all. 2 o'clock appointment and I was back home by 2:30 lol. Staff / Dr.Rubin very friendly and knowledgeable and educated on treatment etc. This was my first visit and I'll definitely refer others!
Amazing staff
Everyone in the office is great. From the front desk to the back office, there's always a smile on their faces and willing to answer any questions. I am a new patient and feel like I have been there for years I love the office.
The office is very personable and caring. Dr. Michelle Bruner is a great skin care specialist. I love coming to the office because there's never a long wait.
Front Desk is the bomb!
I've only had one visit so far and I loved every minute of it! The front desk girls when you check in are absolutely amazing!! They were so helpful, patient, kind, and friendly!! The doctor was really helpful and helped ease my worries! Checking out wasn't that fun, there was only one girl and I was waiting for about 15 minutes while she talked to another customer about ONE product! When it was finally my turn, it seemed like she could t get me out of there fast enough, she collected my money and didn't ask to make a follow up appointment. That there is poor customer service in my opinion. Other than that, great office with awesome staff! Keep it up Franklin Dermatology!!
Profoundly Professional and Expert Service
Dr. Cory Rubin is superb. His expertise is evident; his bedside manor is friendly, consultative and reassuring; his decisions are thoughtful; and his treatments are implemented with efficiency and easy to understand explanations. He will be my dermatologist forever!
Great Customer Service
Thank you to the ladies at the front desk for recommending the new Thickening Shampoo and Conditioner! My hair feels fuller and is falling out less, I am able to put my hair up now without feeling self-conscious!
Great office
I see 2 wonderful women at this practice and I can't say enough great things about both of them. Tracey has helped me with all my aging and skin conditions. She is extremely smart and talented at what she does. She truly cares and makes every treatment beneficial and fun. She and her assistant are a great team. My dermatologist, Dr Bruner, is also an exceptional, compassionate , thoughtful physician. I truly feel so lucky to these women taking care of me. Everyone in the office, from the front desk to the assistants are always friendly and helpful. It's one of the few Dr's offices that I actually enjoy going to !
Great Dermatology Practice!
This practice from the moment you walk in, to the moment you leave, every one is fantastic! Everyone is extremely professional and very friendly! I feel very welcome and like family every time I have an appointment! I have seen multiple doctors in the practice for various things from medical needs to cosmetic procedures! Most recently I have seen Tracy for botox and she recommended a few products that have made my skin look and feel fabulous! I have always been very nervous going anywhere instead of a doctors office to have cosmetic work done so having my long time dermatology office with everything now is great! I have been going to Franklin Dermatology for many years now and I could never imagine having to go and start new anywhere else! I have recommended this practice to my family, my friends, and have the highest respect for all of the providers I have seen over the years!
Great staff.
I wouldn't go anywhere else for my family's skin care needs.
Excellent Service!
Love the experience. Entire staff is great. Wouldn't go anywhere else.
Excellent Service!
This was my first visit! I was greeted warmly at the counter, I was taken into the back almost immediately. Dr. Bruner was very kind, she listened to my issues and took the time to ask questions. At check-out the staff was great as well! I am definitely coming back!
First time seeing Dr. Rubin
I saw Dr. Rubin for a skin infection. GSI was flexible with setting my appointment times and the wait time to see Dr. Rubin was not long at all. My second appointment was in the morning and was less than half an hour from walking in to walking out. Dr. Rubin was friendly and knowledgeable. I would recommend him to my peers.

Chromatic aberration
What it is
Chromatic aberration is a common lens error visible in images as colored fringes or colored blur along edges. It is caused by a different refractive index of light at different wavelength. There is a nice description with lots of links on Wikipedia.
Another good description is found on Paul van Walree's page.
Different refractive index means different focal length for a single lens. This would lead to different focal plains for different colors. You would have to focus differently for red, blue or green. This effect is called longitudinal chromatic aberration (lCA). If you have a fringe that changes color if you defocus slightly, this is most likely longitudinal chromatic aberration. This type can not be corrected by software but it gets less if stopped down.
When longitudinal chromatic aberration is corrected, different colors focus more or less in the same point on the optical axis, but they might focus in different distances off axis resulting in images of different size for different colors. This type is called lateral or transversal chromatic aberration (tCA). If you have colored fringes progressively more from the center to the corners, this is most likely transversal chromatic aberration. This type can be corrected by software but it does not change by stopping down.
What it is not
Digital photography introduced a new type of color fringes, that are no lens chromatic aberration. They are frequently confused with tCA and unfortunately they occur often mixed with tCA. This effects might be visible as purple or blue fringes and are mostly visible around overexposed areas only.
They might have different causes:
- By sensor overflow visible as blooming. This blooming often has a purple color because of the bayer pattern of the sensor: If a sensor cell overflows to the neighboring cells all cells are affected the same. There are 50% green but only 25% red and 25% blue sensor cells. Hence blue and red are weighted more resulting in purple fringes around overexposed areas. Since CMOS sensors are not prone to overflow this affects only CCD sensors.
- By chromatic aberration and other errors in the micro lenses that are in front of the sensor.
- by reflections between the sensor and the protective glass (that might be coated and hence reflects colored).
- by interpolation errors or anti moiree filters.
- by partial color saturation: Blue sky f.e. might be clipped to pure white because all color channels are saturated. If there is a blurred dark object in the image the sensors in the blur region receive only part of the light and hence don't saturate. The blur region appears blue. This is the only effect that applies to analog film as well.
How to avoid
LCA can be avoided if shooted stopped down. Purple or blue fringes might benefit from stopping down, too. They can be avoided in most cases if you expose for the highlights (i.e. don't overexpose). tCA can only not be avoided if you can use a better lens. Fixed focal length lenses are less prone to tCA than cheap zoom lenses. Converters are often very bad. You can aviod tCA while stitching if you don't use the corners where it is most prominent.
How to distinguish
If you want to correct color fringes by software you need to know which type they are. If all of the following points are met your image most likely contains true tCA:
- corners should show most color fringes whereas the center should show none.
- color fringes should be not only at the edges of overexposed areas but at lower contrast edges, too.
- color fringes should be of complementary color (cyan-red, blue-orange or purple-yellow) on opposite sides of a dark or bright area.
- color fringes should be in all corners the samedirection pointing out from the center
Example with true tCA
This image shows heavy tCA as a result of the usage of a cheap wide angle converter:
Here a crop of the upper left corner, enlarged to 200%. To verify this is true tCA you can simply cycle through the color channels (f.e. by pressing Ctrl+1, Ctrl+2 and Ctrl+3 in photoshop). If the whole image content in areas with more or less neutral colors seems to move this is true tCA:
(switch on GIF animation to see the different channels in the right image)
The whole image content seems to move if channels change. This is clearly due to tCA. As you can see, the channels have different sharpness. This is most likely due to longitudinal CA.
For comparison a similar sized and enlarged crop from the center:
There are no color fringes in the center. A good indicator of true tCA.
You can try to correct tCA by hand in one corner in photoshop to see whether it is worth the effort to correct it in total:
- crop to a corner with visible tCA
- enlarge by 200% to 400%
- flatten image if needed.
- try to nudge the red and the blue channel in order to minimze fringes. To do this, in the channels palette:
- Click the red channel to make it the active one.
- Click the small eye symbol of the RGB channel in order to make all colors visible
- Choose the move tool from the tools palette
- Nudge the red channel with the arrow keys until the fringes are blue-yellow
- repeat the same for the blue channel and nudge to optimum
- repeat for the red channel if there are still red-green fringes
Here is the above example after using this technique.
Example with no tCA but purple fringes
This image shows purple fringes but no chromatic aberration:
Here the enlargement of the upper left corner and the moving channels:
(switch on GIF animation to see the different channels in the right image)
As you can notice, the details on the grey tree don't move at all. it's only the left (outside) side of the overexposed sky areas that changes.
Strange Example
This crop (lower left corner) is from a frequently used combo: Nikon D70 with Nikkor 10.5mm full frame fisheye (image (c) Andrey Ilyin). At the first glance this looks like normal red-cyan tCA. But if you try to correct this one, it will drive you nuts. Have a close look on the moving channels:
(switch on GIF animation to see the different channels in the right image)
As you can see part of the image details move but part doesn't (the blade of grass in the center). If you minimize the fringes there will be new fringes or even double details with different color. I've got no idea what causes this weird kind of colored fringes. This is definitely no lens CA.
(to be continued)

Energy industry software company Tendril is aiming to garner interest from developers working to build applications for smart energy meter systems and the growing number of smart appliances for the home.
A new developer portal has been launched to provide tools suited to smart devices using open and proprietary communication protocols with support for Android, iOS, and utility back-office environments.
The Tendril Connect platform provides open APIs, a sandbox, and a set of sample accounts for programmers prepared to give credence to the company's concept of a single platform for utility industry players to use to talk to a growing list of third-party applications and devices in this sector. The website sets out to enable developers to build connections between a web app and a smart device.
For example, through the platform's API, a developer can both read from and change settings for smart thermostats, smart plugs, smart appliances, and new smart devices. In coming months, Tendril also plans to provide developers with a smart device application developer kit.
The Tendril Connect Application Developer website also includes a "My Apps" area, which keeps track of application names and keys, and allows the app owner to give multiple developers access to an app's key and/or change the owner of an app.
There is also a developer community forum and articles for learning more about the energy industry, electricity principals, electricity pricing, metering and authentication.

Logo design. Contemporary, modern, sophisticated, feminine, elegant are the words we use to describe our product/wedding dresses and so should be reflected in our logo.
Untill now we haven't had a logo just the words jennifer regan in century gothic font. So we are open to ideas of a symbol and our name or just the name in a sensational font. The logo must be usable in black and white but colours we like are silver, red splash (small ammount), soft blues and greens for use on our new website (to be built) and stationary.
Our existing website can be viewed at jenniferregan.com.au
The interesting lettering of j and r may be of use as they can be reversed and backed up to each other. this is just a suggestion that we have. We are open to others. We are also interested in a tag line to go with our logo
This logo exercise is part of rebranding as we used to be known as "embryo" and our tag was "always unique". We feel we might reuse this tag but are also open to change. We are offering all of this info as a suggestion so don't feel limited by the above info.
