Can an original photo be restored?
Original photos are made from layers. Old black and white photos were often made from fibre based paper. The base papers themselves would have been made in paper mills and the top coating of light sensitive chemical based sulphates called "baryta" was then added to produce the photographic paper. Once exposed to light and developed the positive image is embedded in the "baryta" or emulsion. If this top layer gets damaged there is no way to build up the layer and replace it. You cannot add wax or pen or ink, nothing comes close to the original emulsion. If some of the fibres of the paper have come away, then what? These cannot be replaced either, you cannot simply glue down new ones! Even if it were possible to put back a blank filler into the hole, there is no way to reproduce the grain structure that was there in the original, or the subtle tones and shading of the original photo.
The same goes for colour photos, the resin or solid polyester top coat cannot be replaced with anything, It cannot be built up and restored. If there was a way to do this that was commercially available, there would not be so many digital photo restoration companies offering their digital restoration services today!
Sorry but it is not good news if own a damaged photo and want the original restored.
The only salvation may be that working in conjunction with a photo restoration artist, you can get a digital restoration done and then use that to help patch up the original. Of course this would only work if the paper texture and tone could be matched!
Photo restoration from an original
The question is, is it an original?
Genealogy and preserving photos isn't new. The chances are somewhere in the family collection of old photos there are some that look a little smoother and shinier than the other, they still look old but just not as wrinkled.
Take a look at these carefully, can you see the scratches and creases, fold marks and tears but is the photo perfectly smooth? If so it is more likely to be a copy of an original. Unfortunately if this copy was made a while back when scanning technology was not so good, it may have been scanned with a first generation scanner and printed in a high street lab when photo labs were numerous, around the 70's and 80's and 90's. The chances are the tonal range within the reprint has changed dramatically from the original.
If you can turn the photo over, on the back may be printed "Fuji" or "Agfa" or "Kodak" in a faded font but clear as day, the paper itself is kind of plastic and not really papery at all. Very old photos were printed on paper made from pulp, made up of many layers of fibers, plastic papers just don't have these and should be easy to spot.
In scanning the tones would have been averaged by the scanner and then when reprinting, the machines would have averaged again and much of the mid tones would have been lost. When it comes to making a restoration of this for the third time around, bringing out the details and enhancing the photo and making the restoration, is going to be somewhat disappointing, than if it were direct from the original. The mid tones are what helps create shape and form to objects, the subtle shadows on some ones face,without these the photo will be just black and white and be very contrasty with little detail.
Lessons to learn here are, make sure that if you do end up making copies of old photos, make sure you still keep the original, no matter what state it is in! If you have to make a copy try to get it done professionally to ensure the maximum tonal range available, to allow for the best detail and best future photo restoration.
Photo restoration, how much can be done?
So much can be achieved with photo restoration, just browse through the blog and the website to get broad spectrum of what is possible. Check through the lists below there may be a link with another article or web page you haven't seen yet.

Other possibilities
Restoration requests have been many and one the most in-depth and challenging was one presented to me by a young lady who had not seen her wedding photos for a long while, nor really in any great depth. Due to some family disturbance they would have brought back bad memories and now ready, she examined them only to be disappointed. In this project I
moved the tide further down the beach, removed creases from the wedding dress, removed bits of flab sticking out in various places, shiny faces were reduced. I rebuilt the foreground of a restaurant scene to remove a person, in all retouched and manipulated over 250 photos!
So what is not possible?
It is not possible to:
Focus a completely out of focus picture. (If it is an obviously out of focus photo it cannot be refocused)
Fixed a blurred photo. This would be where the camera moved when taking the photo or the subject moved. Moving the camera when depressing the shutter is more evident from the early days of photography when the film speed and resulting shutter speeds were slower. The moment evident in the photo is sort of a moving blur, normally in a down and up motion. Motion in single plain can sometimes be corrected, but it is so rare. Examples you may have seen on the Internet are normally manufactured instances under ideal conditions, where the motion blur has a chance of being corrected.
Open closed eyes. Not without another set of open ones to replace them with.
Replace a head. Now we are getting silly, again not without another photo of that person's head

Two stains on Zimmerman's jacket tested positive for Zimmerman's DNA.
[Updated at 3:19 p.m. ET]
Gorgone is pointing out to the jury all the different stains he tested from Zimmerman's jacket.
[Updated at 3:17 p.m. ET]
De La Rionda has now moved on to the DNA testing Gorgone did on Zimmerman's jacket he was wearing the night of the shooting.
[Updated at 3:13 p.m. ET]
One stain on the gray sweatshirt did not yield any results of foreign DNA, but Gorgone could not exclude the possibility that Zimmerman's DNA was in that stain.
[Updated at 3:08 p.m. ET]
Gorgone said one stain on Martin's gray sweatshirt contained Zimmerman's DNA. Another stain tested positive for Martin's DNA, and yet another had a mixture of both Martin's and Zimmmerman's DNA.
[Updated at 3:03 p.m. ET]
De La Rionda has now moved on to testing Gorgone did on the sweatshirt Martin was wearing under his hooded jacket.
Updated at 3 p.m. ET]
Gorgone said he did not find anyone else's DNA on Martin's hooded jacket.
[Updated at 2:58 p.m. ET]
One stain on Martin's hoodie did test positive for his DNA.
[Updated at 2:55 p.m. ET]
De La Rionda is asking Gorgone to point to the stains he tested from Martin's clothing.
[Updated at 2:52 p.m. ET]
Gorgone found Martin's DNA on the Skittles bag he bought from the store moments before being shot.
[Updated at 2:48 p.m. ET]
Scrapings from Martin's fingernails did not show the presence of Zimmerman's DNA.
[Updated at 2:46 p.m. ET]
Gorgone did match DNA found on the holster for his gun to Zimmerman. He was able to exclude Martin's DNA as being on his holster.
[Updated at 2:44 p.m. ET]
There was no testable DNA found on the slide of Zimmerman's gun.

Today I had lunch with a good friend of mine photographer Heather Talbert. I hadn't seen her in a while and it was really nice to just sit and catch up. We talked a lot about how dead it is right now and how its really hard to find good models because its not season. Model apartments are empty and shooting is scarce but it is a really good time to network and get in contact with people before things pick back up again. Make your connections now wether it be with photographers, designers, bookers you never know what kind of doors it will open for the next season.

Its funny how small the industry is we can sit and talk about everyone on a first name basis because everyone just seems to know everyone. When you live in NY there is such a massive amount of talented people its amazing and then here... its a struggle just to find a good stylist or a model who isn't burnt to a crisp with tan lines. How are creatives (stylist, MUA,photographers) supposed to make a living in this industry when everyone is wanting everything for free or at a really cheap rate. Testing models for agencies isn't even a good way to make money anymore. The rate for testing was once about five hundred to seven hundred dollars depending on what you wanted... and now it seems as if you are lucky to even get two hundred dollars. People really don't understand the amount of time, talent, and preparation that goes into doing these shoots.... and to not get paid from it is a bit ridiculous. So I say let the people who cant hang die out, it makes more room for the more talented artist that are really in it because they love it. If your in this business to make money you should probably stop now, but if your in it because you love it and truly find the beauty and art in all this mess then I say fight the good fight and hang in there.
If your a talented artist and you like Skinny Intern, contact me. I want to hear from you. email@example.com

Published in the Fall 2004 issue • Arts
Almost Famous
It took fewer than 10 shows for Magneta Lane to get signed. How do you top that?
Magneta Lane travel in a pack.
Up-and-coming indie rockers Lexi Valentine, Nadia King and French walk into Toronto's Silver Dollar club, where I tell them I want to interview them for Shameless.
"Okay, but you can't ask us what our musical influences are," an exasperated Lexi says.
Maybe she doesn't want people drawing comparisons between her band and a slew of famous ones, or maybe she's just done too many interviews this summer, but musical influences are the least interesting thing about Magneta Lane.
The real question is, how did three young women who barely know how to play their instruments get signed to a record label and end up being compared to The Strokes and the Yeah Yeah Yeahs in the first place?
See their live show and the answer becomes obvious: Lexi, French and Nadia are inches away from being as good as the bands at the top of the garage rock scene.
On the day of our interview, they're travelling in a pack again.
"We're our only friends," French jokes.
Their debut album, The Constant Lover, was released in September on Paper Bag Records, the Toronto-based label of the Stars, controller.controller and the Fembots.
Signing to a major indie label is usually the kind of thing that happens after a band has established a reputation and has nailed a polished performance. Magneta Lane was signed to Paper Bag after playing fewer than 10 shows.
"We don't even know how that happened," Lexi says of the past few months, which have been a bit of a blur for the band. "Everything's changed a lot. We didn't know how to play our instruments when we started. Well, we still kind of don't."
The signing resulted from a chance encounter with Paper Bag shortly after they started playing live shows. The heads of Paper Bag saw a November 2003 show Magneta Lane played at the Silver Dollar. Though they had come to see another band on the bill, Paper Bag wanted to sign Magneta Lane. A deal was inked a few months later.
"I like how there was nothing else like them in Toronto," says Paper Bag's Trevor Larocque. "We're looking for originality. They're a perfect fit for an indie label. Their music is simple but catchy."
But sealing the deal wasn't simple.
For three 19-year-olds, the prospect of music industry success after barely two months of playing together seemed far-fetched, especially to Lexi.
"I have some major trust issues," she says. "I remember sitting down with one eye open saying, 'What's this all about?' I always tend to think when good things are happening, there's always something bad to go along with it."
In the end, they nervously handed their careers over to the music executives. To their surprise, things started happening.
Most surprising was an offer for the band to model Bluenotes jeans in a series of print ads. "You mean, how we sold our souls?" French says sarcastically when asked about the deal.
"You know, I'm so sick and tired of all these people saying, 'I'm in it for the music, I don't care if I have to scrape my rent together every month,'" Lexi says. "It's bullshit. You want to be famous, you want to make money."
And to get there, Magneta Lane is more focused on practicing for upcoming shows than the hype that is building around them.
"Never go into anything with high expectations," Lexi says. "That's when you get screwed. We don't know if people like us or hate us, but we don't care."
"That's pessimistic," French shoots back.
"Well, it's true."
Pessimism aside, the future looks bright for Magneta Lane. Their album release was followed by touring and an appearance at the prestigious Pop Montreal festival. Not bad for three girls who took a year off after high school to see where music could take them.
"We're constantly setting goals for ourselves," Lexi says. "We want to see the world. Who knows if it'll happen? If the opportunities come around, that's great.

"I would highly recommend the Tiny Talkers workshop. I had been interested in learning the fundamentals of teaching my daughter to sign since she was born, but felt a little bit overwhelmed by where to start. Tiny Talker's workshop offered valuable information about the benefits of sign language for babies and their families, how babies learn and how to teach baby to sign. Our daughter is 8 months old and in just the last few days, after working with her for a couple of weeks, we've noticed that she is responding to our sign for the word "milk". We have seen her really focusing on the sign and know it's just a matter of days before she makes it on her own." – Kelley S.
"I am a speech-language pathologist who has worked with older children and adults. I took sign language as an undergraduate and had experience with Signing Exact English and ASL. As a new parent I needed help in using baby signs with my infant daughter because I was making it too complicated (e.g. confused about which program to use, introducing too many signs at once and signing complete phrases instead of words). I had a private consultation with Shira. She was extremely organized, caring, positive and knowledgeable. It is clear Shira loves being a parent and is committed to helping others. She assisted me in coming up with strategies to use with the baby and provided clear, easy to implement materials. I highly recommend Shira and her Tiny Talkers program! A workshop and/or consultation would be a meaningful gift for parents and children." -Lisa L.
"WE LOVE YOU!! NO MORE SCREECHING!! My partner and I woke up about a week ago, and he said "You know what I just realized? Our daughter hasn't screamed in about three days." It was quite the lovely epiphany. We began working with her as soon as we got back from the workshop. After a full week of consistently using a few signs it was as if a light bulb went off. She got it! She began signing "more" not just for food, but for everything she enjoyed. It was so cute--and such a GIFT! We are talking with our girl!! About two or three days after really getting "more" she started signing for "milk" perfectly and is now doing several more signs. We are now going through the class materials again to brush up on all the other signs you taught us. We truly can't thank you enough. The workshop was possibly the best money we've spent on our sweet daughter since her arrival! Again, tremendous gratitude for your fantastic work in the world." -Camille M.
"I took the Tiny Talker's workshop with my son when he was 9 months old (he's now almost 13 months), and I really liked it. I wasn't sure it would be worth the money, but I think it was! My son is doing a lot of signs now. Shira's class offers some really good ideas for how to incorporate baby sign more into your life, and she has good ideas for ways to teach it." ~Natalie B.
"My husband and I attended the Tiny Talkers class and we were impressed with the information that was presented. Shira gave us great tips to try with our daughter and she graciously answered all of our questions. After a few weeks of signing with her, she is able to communicate her needs effectively. As a third grade teacher, I know the importance of a child's ability to communicate with others. The sooner you start communicating with your child, the better off they will be. Thanks again." -Shelly J.
"Your class has really helped me to be a better daycare provider. It is so helpful for the little ones in my care to have a way to communicate. My older kids find it really fun, and are always asking me for more signs. The look of accomplishment on their little faces is priceless when the child has just signed, and I follow up with what they want, or need. I tell people about your class often, and I recommend it to other parents, as well as those working with small children." -Rita C.
Tiny Talkers is a wonderful class! All the important information a parent can learn in a short workshop and then actually go home and apply it with your baby. I learned a lot of great hints from Shira on how to teach my 7 month old and after a few short weeks, I'm already seeing my baby respond in communication with her hands. I'm learning the signs as I teach them to my baby....it's really easy! Shira provided helpful examples and a great sign language pictionary and journal for parents to track their child's milestones. Wonderful workshop! Highly recommend it! -Melissa
"My husband and I took this class when our daughter was only 3 months. I already knew lots about signing from working in a daycare, and working with other young babies, so I was worried it would be a repeat. However, Shira did a great job. She started with interesting background information on brain development and then moved on to signing. Another key piece that I found helpful was that she taught *how* to get started, not just what the signs are. Top that off with the fact that the class was short and sweet- one night for a few hours, with info packet of signs to take home for later. Loved it!" -Rory
"As the grandmother of a child who lives in Texas, I am only able to work with Noah during visits and try to encourage his mother at the same time. However, I put together the excellent workshop materials into two, user-friendly binders for my daughter-in-law and myself. During a one-week visit, Noah was watching my hands and responding with a few, appropriate, simple signs. Instead of "crying" his wants or needs, he attempted to sign them. It was so much fun! This workshop taught me everything I needed to know!" -Geri
This class is a great comprehensive crash course in teaching your baby sign language. Most of the focus is spent on how to teach your baby different signs and when to do it. My husband and I really enjoyed Shira and left feeling like we had to tools we needed to teach our daughter to communicate with us more effectively and if we had any questions or needed further help we liked knowing we could email Shira for further support. -Emma
I was impressed with Shira from the very beginning of the class. She was organized, and before teaching us the "how," she went over the "why." Although my husband and I had already decided that we wanted to teach our son sign language, it was wonderful to hear the information that Shira had about the many benefits of doing so. The class was easy to follow, and by the time we were done, not only did I feel totally prepared for the task of teaching this to my 9 month-old, but I was excited to begin. She also makes herself available for follow-up questions, which is above and beyond our expectations. I loved this class, and thought it was worth far more than Shira charges. -Erin
"I attended your workshop over a week ago and I have been BLOWN AWAY by how fast my little one is picking it all up. He now knows (and USES!) water, book, cheese, eat and all done! He uses them ALL the time. I just love it! No more guessing if he wants milk or water or up on the counter. Thank you! The packet that was included with the workshop was also invaluable. So happy!" -Nadia
"The difference between just learning signs to teach your baby on your own and taking the Tiny Talker's workshop, is that you actually learn how to teach signs to your baby! Shira role plays and gives great ways to help both babies and moms and dads learn together. Even though I already knew the signs she was teaching, I learned so much!" -Karen (ASL interpreter and mother of 3)
"My husband and I got tons of information about how to teach sign language to our son. I highly recommend taking the workshop. A sign dictionary is not enough, you need strategies for teaching signs and helping your child understand that signs mean language." -Adrienne
"Communicating with my 22 month old is simply the greatest gift we could have given each other. Using signs has enabled him to be a happier toddler with quicker access to his favorite items (like milk, books, and playing). With less time being spent frustrated (for both of us!) we are able to spend more time exploring and enjoying the world on our daily adventures! Thank you Tiny Talkers!" -Nadia
"Thanks so much for the great workshop! My husband and I loved it. You presented the information in a really clear, easy manner. I love the historical tidbits to help us remember the signs! It is very much the way my mind works. Good luck with your business! I will definitely tell other friends about it." -Elizaebeth
"My son started doing his first sign! I am ELATED! He is almost 11m, we took your class when he was 8 m, so just as you said...three months when they start signing!! Thank you so much, this is such a new, exciting way to bond." -Shirley
'Amazing! Parents can build a bridge of communication with infants as young as 6 months old!" Oprah Winfrey
'"Long before they can talk, babies can communicate in symbols and gestures" Jane Pauley, Dateline NBC
"An astonishing tool for parents. An amazing new world of communication." ABC's 20/20

Today, it is both a national research library and a learned society dedicated to pre-twentieth century American history and culture. The library's collections contain more than two-thirds of all the known imprints created in America before 1821, and the Society is considered to be the greatest single repository of such materials in the world. The AAS collections of nineteenth-century imprints are lauded for both their depth and breadth. The collections begin with the first English-language book printed in America in 1640 and continue through the year 1876, when the nation celebrated its centennial. Including more than one million books, pamphlets, graphics, and ephemera items, two million newspaper issues, and one million manuscript pages, the AAS collections serve a worldwide community of scholars, teachers, historians, bibliographers, students, and authors whose research at the Society enhances the quality of humanistic knowledge and education in the United States and abroad. The Society is supported by its members, scholars, friends, and numerous foundation and federal partnerships, generating the strong financial condition of the institution with an annual operating budget of approximately $5 million. In 2012, the Society will celebrate its bicentennial and has begun to plan a capital campaign to seek the resources it will need to achieve its vision for growth in its third century.

Seven games in Arkansas during Razorbacks 2011 season | Community Announcement
Announcement, Banner, News — By Christopher Spencer on January 18, 2011 at 3:09 pmThe University of Arkansas' 2011 football schedule was announced Tuesday.
"Our fans can look forward to another exciting season of Razorback football in 2011," Vice Chancellor and Director of Athletics Jeff Long said. "The 2011 schedule features three consecutive in-state games to open the season, four home games against Southeastern Conference teams, the annual trip to Arlington to play Texas A&M in the Southwest Classic and a trip to Baton Rouge to resume the traditional Friday after Thanksgiving series with LSU. We are proud of the great success our football student-athletes achieved in 2010 culminated in the program's first berth in a BCS bowl game. Next year's schedule promises to deliver another memorable season in the nation's most competitive conference."
The Razorbacks open the season with three consecutive home games, including one at War Memorial Stadium in Little Rock, before traveling for the first time to Alabama on Sept. 24. Arkansas opens its season Sept. 3 by hosting Missouri State in Fayetteville before welcoming New Mexico to Little Rock on Sept. 10 and returning to Fayetteville to face Troy on Sept. 17.

After the bye, Arkansas has back-to-back road trips to Ole Miss and Vanderbilt on Oct. 22 and Oct. 29, respectively. The Razorbacks then host South Carolina on Nov. 5 and Tennessee, who comes back on the schedule for the first time since 2007, on Nov. 12 in Fayetteville before wrapping up the home slate by hosting Mississippi State in Little Rock on Nov. 19.

'Welcome to The Netherlands!' our awesome Busabout guide, John, said as we drove into the fabulous city of Amsterdam.
Often known as the 'Venice of the North', but more commonly known for sex, drugs, cheese, clogs and beer, Amsterdam is best entered with an open mind and a remarkable ability to dodge anything that may come flying at you. From bicycles to trams, the city whirrs like a cog, constantly moving in a fractured rhythm.
The Dutch take quirkiness to the next level. Long thin houseboats line the edges of the larger canals, complete with gardens, barbeques and bike racks. The narrow houses along the streets are tall and slim, slanting in various directions from the shifting foundations standing in the marshy canals beneath the crooked streets. The stairs inside are so steep and narrow that large furnishings are taken through the windows, the telltale hooks on the roofs blatant evidence of a period in architecture where the idea of 'pay now and save later' hadn't been proposed.
As you wander through Amsterdam, strolling lazily along the countless streets and passages, through the parks, by the shops or along the canals, you are accosted with the warmth and unperturbed nature of the people. They will greet you with a smile and chat with you in English – a welcome change from the frosty Parisians who look down their noses and swear at you in French when you give them too many Euros! Amsterdam is simply friendly.
The countless 'coffeeshops' (yes, the Dutch are sneaky) and the occasional whiff of pot as you wander through Vondelpark brings the city alive, infusing it with rebellious spirit for even the most blasé non drug user (such as myself). Whether you make the decision to take drugs here or not, the nonchalant attitude towards recreational drug use provides a refreshing perspective, and immediately immerses you into a culture that is as exciting as it is questionable.
The red light district of Amsterdam takes this notion to the next level. If you're amused (or disturbed) by the occasional brothel that you find in Sydney, expect your head to be blown off in Holland. The place speaks for itself, and if you can handle some tits and some creepy old men, a walk through the red lights is a must.
If you are looking for something less, erm, tame than simply checking out the window ladies, enter one of the many live sex shows for a full on experience. We went to the Bananabar which offers multiple levels of shows, and, if your lucky, a good old chat with a darling Hungarian stripper whose name I unfortunately didn't quite catch. The place costs 50 euros entry fee (for an hour) and includes an open bar and a few very blonde and perky 'exotic dancers' who will perform a number of tricks for you (yes, this costs extra, and yes, it does involve bananas!). If that's too pricey, try the Moulin Rouge – 25 euro plus 2 free drinks and, of course, a great show.
If your into culture over cannabis, Amsterdam has some excellent opportunities to expand your mind and captivate your senses, including the Anne Frank Huis and The Van Gogh Museum.
Relatively intimate, the Van Gogh museum is a beautifully put together exhibition of the works of Vincent Van Gogh, following his life as an artist and, in particular, the impact of his personal life on the style and development of his works. If you're an art lover, a cultural nerd or simply want to look at some very pretty pictures, this place is sure worth the 14 euros they'll charge you to get in.
I found the Anne Frank Hius particularly special. Having not read The Diary of Anne Frank, I was hesitant, unsure as to weather I would receive the full impact of such a historically significant place. But the place has enough rich and detailed history for even the most ignorant to enjoy this expertly preserved piece of World War 2 history. The museum brings to life the story of a jewish family's struggle during the holocaust. It walks you through the rooms that the Frank family were forced to hide in for 2 years of the war, before they were discovered and taken to concentration camps, and unfortunately, to their deaths.
Make sure you also check out Mike's Bike Tours (awesome tour guides and the perfect way to view a city which has more bicycles than people!), Vondelpark (5km of stunning greenery), and catch a comedy show at Boom Chicago (you'll laugh your pants off!!).
3 days was not enough in this gorgeous little city. But Berlin beckons, and i've already eaten WAY too much cheese!

AB de Villiers (23* off 13) and Mangaliso Mosehle (11* off 5) were holding the fort for Titans when the match was stopped due to the rain.
Chasing 189-run target, Titans lost wickets at regular intervals after their openers gave them a rollicking start against Trinidad. Trinidad reduced Titans to 88/4 in 10.4 overs from 65/0 in 6.3 overs with some brilliant bowling and fielding. Openers Henry Davis (42) and Jacques Rudolph (31) helped Titans raced to fifty in 5.1 overs. But skipper Davids' wicket rattled their run chase as they lost next three wickets for 23 runs. Davids smacked two sixes and six fours in his quick-fire 22-ball innings, whereas Rudolph hit four boundaries in his 28-ball knock.
Sent in to bat, opener Evin Lewis and Darren Bravo produced whirlwind half-centuries to power Trinidad & Tobago to 188 for 6 against Titans. Lewis blasted seven fours and five sixes in his 35-ball 70-run innings and starred in a 109-run partnership with Darren Bravo (63) for the second wicket to set the foundation of a challenging score after being asked to take the first strike by Titans skipper Henry Davids.
T&T lost opener Lendl Simmons (0) early in the innings when he was dismissed by Marchant de Lange in the second over but that didn't affect their innings as Lewis and Bravo took the responsibility on their strong shoulders. Lewis showed little respect for the bowlers as he plundered a four and two sixes off Morne Morkel in the third over. Bravo too followed suit and clobbered three fours off de Lange in the next over.
Rowan Richards was introduced into the attack then but Lewis treated him with equal disdain as he smacked the bowler for a six and a couple of fours as T&T reached 48 for one in five overs. Lewis continued his blitzkrieg, picking up two fours and a six in the next two overs to reach his fifty in just 21 balls.
In the ninth over, Lewis sent Henry Davids out of the park over wide long-off and then sent the fielders on a leather hunt with a couple of fours in the 10th over by Farhaan Behardien. In the 12th over, Bravo got into the act and hammered Richards for a six and a four to leave the bowler bleeding 26 runs in his two overs.
Lewis holed out at the square leg to Richards off van der Merwe in the 13th over. Bravo didn't allow the wicket to slow down the innings and went on a rampage in the 15th over, hitting three sixes off van der Merwe to take T&T close to the 150 mark.
New man Nicolas Pooran (11), who had hit a six in the 14th over, was then dismissed by Davids when he was caught at deep midwicket by van der Merwe. However, Navin Stewart sent Davids sailing over long-on in the next delivery and then picked up a four off Morkel in the next over as T&T accumulated runs thick and fast.
Bravo was finally dismissed by de Lange in the 18th over when the bowler disturbed his stumps.
The left-handed batsman had five boundaries and four sixes in his 44-ball innings, while Stewart (23) got out in the last over.

It's Christmas time in Texas, and I'm ready to break out the Miss-letoe, which is my clumsy way of saying all the things I'm going to miss about the show. I'll try to recap, folks, but there's gonna be a whole lot of me talking about what I'll miss about this show. Feel free to tell me more things in the comments below. And to mock me for the four times I cried during this episode (which I will detail below).
Just a quick warning: I'm going to jump around a lot. I don't think you read these recaps for a coherent plot summary, but if you do … apologies.
State's coming up for the Lions, but all the press wants to talk about is the super team, and this makes the team and coaches angry (if you're Tinker), silent (if you're Hastings), delusional (if you're Billy), and annoyed (if you're Coach Taylor). And just like the idea of the super team is hanging over the State plans, Tami's job offer is hanging over Eric and Tami's relationship. But who's there to break the tension? Matt Saracen!
I'll miss how nervous Matt is around Coach and Coach's delight in intimidating him. It should get old but it never does. And look who else is back? It's Landry! I'll miss Matt & Landry's scenes together. It always feels like they just filmed two friends talking and edited into the show.
Matt proposes to Julie in front of the Alamo Freeze, which is a lovely callback, with his grandmother's ring. You're too young! Oh wait, you disappear after next week, so do what you want with your lives. Matt didn't bother asking Coach's permission. Bad move, Matt. I asked my in-laws' permission first, and neither of them glower like Coach Taylor. Once he does ask, Coach says not until the sun burns out. Which is problematic.
Eric and Tami (who's also not on board with this proposal) take Julie and Matt out to the most uncomfortable dinner in a while, one that really exposes Eric's hypocrisy on the issue of compromise in a marriage. Julie reminds Eric & Tami of what we all know, that they're the greatest. I'll miss seeing a really believable, wonderfully loving married couple on TV. Tami speaks the truth: it's her turn.
But the next day she concedes, because she knows she's never winning this fight. And then Eric remembers who he really is, and says to Tami, "Will you take me to Philadelphia with you, please?" (This, by the way, was just a little bit of a lump in my throat moment, not full-on tears.) It's the right choice, and it's great to see Eric come around.
In the Vince storyline: Vince wants his dad to have a ticket to State, but Ornette is nowhere to be found. Vince goes to visit him at a bar, but Ornette evidently has shit to do (more "man stuff" from a few weeks ago?) and won't take the ticket. Eric, to his credit, visits Ornette in the bar and gives him the ticket to State. Eric's the father figure, sure, but he knows Ornette is the actual father. (Vince's "You changed my life, Coach," another lump in the throat moment) Ornette does show up at State. It's not a tearful reconciliation, everything's not all fixed, but things are a little better. It's a nicely realistic end to this storyline.
In the Tim storyline: Tim takes Stevie with him to practice, and lectures him on boosters and cheerleaders. There are few things more awesome than Coach introducing himself to Stevie. I'll miss his sense of humor (see also his line reading on: "Thank you, Santa Claus"). Becky and Tim make up, and Tim's had a positive impact on someone, believe it or not.
Speaking of Becky, her mom is finally coming home, and Mindy is upset because she's losing her friend. I'll miss how this show has been able to elevate supporting characters into leads and having someone like Mindy break my heart over and over again this season. What a performance! She and Billy are my season MVPs. I didn't expect Becky & Mindy to be the first people to make me cry in this episode. Stacey Oristano, you are fantastic!
In more Becky news, Luke apologizes, old-school style, with roses and a teddy bear. And, boom, another condom reference (this time from Becky's mom, whom I just saw at age 14 or 15 in a Twin Peaks episode, which was super weird)! I don't always love the way this show lionizes teenage romances, as if they are the best things ever, but it's nice to see these two back together. And I'm glad they didn't go that way with Tyra & Tim.
Jess wants to go to the super team with Coach, but now she's just going to Dallas. I'll miss her performance. She hasn't gotten as flashy of storylines as the rest of the new characters, but she's been nothing but honest with every choice she's made. And when the Coach offers her a chance to keep shadowing a coach in Dallas, that's the second time for tears.
I'll miss Grandma Saracen. She's just been lovely. When she kissed that ring on Julie's finger, that was number 3 (but may have been a holdover from #2). I may have seen Grandma Saracen's veil in pictures of the royal wedding.
The football game is, to be really artsy here, just poetry, and it reminds me why I love the game so much. How much love? Well the last play of the game, that's the fourth time I cried (and had trouble stopping until the credits.) It's a long pass, a final hail Mary for Vince and the Lions to win the game. And then it effortlessly transforms into just another pass at a football practice in Philadelphia.
So what happens to our friends from Dillon?
- Coach & Tami are happy in Philadelphia.
- Vince got his ring!
- Buddy Jr. & Tinker are part of the super team.
- Billy still has a coaching gig.
- Luke joins the army and kisses Becky goodbye, giving her his ring.
- Matt & Julie live together in Chicago.
- Jess is an assistant coach.
- Tim is building his house with Billy.
- Buddy puts up a tribute to Coach Taylor in the Dillon locker room.
The Lions win State, and we say goodbye to a show that I will really miss, but I'm so happy DirecTV and NBC found a way to keep it on the air for five seasons. A few last things before we part.
- Matt, Tyra & Landry have taught me that when people leave Dillon, their hair gets darker.
- Tim says, "I may or not be going to Alaska." Dear everyone, stop using "may or may not." I may or may not be flying into the sun tomorrow while wearing the Hope Diamond around my neck. It's meaningless. (I have to bury myself in grammar to get over my sadness)
- Wait, the Taylors should assume Julie is going to make the right decision regarding college? Based on what evidence, Jules?
- Tyra wants to go into politics? I'd totally vote for Tyra!
Come on, you guys. Friday Night Lights isn't over until we stop talking about it, so let's not keep chatting about it in the comments below! It'll give me something to do until the premiere of my next recapping job: The WB reality show H8R. That's a lateral move for me, right?
Seriously, though, thanks for making my first recapping experience for Off-Color TV such a good one. And tell me what you'll miss about FNL below. Clear eyes, full hearts, can't lose.

Traffic for advertisers
iMHO provides Campaign Management Services for advertisers in many so-called 3rd party
A 3rd party system doesn't only show how many users see and react
to an Internet advert, but also how users act after a click or page view.
An example of this would be information showing which advert has resulted
in a sale, ordering a catalogue and / or a download, as well as information
about which advert has generated no more interest than a simple click.
The systems can also show total reach, frequency etc.
What does the advertiser need to do to get these measurements?
With the help of iMHO's technical support team, the advertiser only needs to implement measuring tags, in order for a system to show activities
that occur after an impression or click. Measuring tags are neither visible,
nor do they affect the site in any way. All software and information is
hosted with the service provider. This method works no matter what server
type or programming language is being used in the system.
What more is included in trafficking for advertisers?
Besides controlling that the measurements work, iMHO will manage the administrative
work with the advertising campaigns. This includes, amongst other things,
quality assurance of the material, loading of the material (in the same
system that the measuring tags has been created) as well as contact with
the traffickers at each site. We will also ensure that each placement
in the media plan displays the correct advert. iMHO monitors constantly
to ensure that every site delivers what it should.
We want to make the administration of campaigns as easy as possible for our clients, so they can focus on their key competencies.
Experience and accessibility.
iMHO has several years of experience in 3rd party measurement, and our traffickers work daily with some of the largest agencies in Europe.
We work in co-operation with each other, which means that there is always
someone available to attend to queries, even if a trafficker is absent
from time to time.
More information:
Email email@example.com or call +31 20 71 63 006.
Traffic for publishers
iMHO takes care of the technicalities, you publish the publication.
For an increasing number of publishers on the Internet, large and small,
finding the technical skills necessary for adserving, is hard, without
the added inconvenience of sickness and other absences. To add to this,
trafficking is seldom a full time job for one person. We at iMHO have
specialized in working with large and small publishers and can administer
clients technical adserving from our office, eliminating some of the headaches
mentioned above.
What do we do?
We handle all matters concerning the handling of adverts on the Internet,
schedule control, technical control, control of delivery times, reminders
to agencies, reporting during and after the campaign, management of the
booking schedules, loading adverts in adserving systems and assisting
with the development of administrative routines for our clients.
What can we offer?
A team that is very experienced in technical administration and Ad Management on the Internet.
This gives both us and our clients the confidence that we know what we are
doing. We keep detailed campaign logs so all Trafickers can help any client with any campaign and has all the neccessary information to ensure timorous performance. One staff member in particular will be allocated
for each client, in order to act as the primary contact person and to
learn any special needs and who generally can be relied on to manage the
client. In short, we offer security, knowledge and convenience, all at
a competitive price.

Some stores offer a bit of price protection--usually about 30 days--but Costco is bold enough to tell customers they can return a product at any point during the course of its lifetime (except for computers, which are capped at six months). Depending on which Costco manager you run into, there appear to be some restrictions to this policy, but so long as your set is relatively blemish-free (read: no baseballs thrown through the middle of the screen), chances are that if you brought back last year's model in its original box, you'd get your money back. Bring back a 2004 model, and odds are you'd also get a full refund. A receipt helps speed the return process, but it's not essential, because Costco--a membership-based discount "club" ($50 a year gets you in)--does an excellent job of tracking your purchases via its computer system.
Yeah, a few years ago, when no-name TVs delivered subpar performance, some of us scoffed at the notion of making an HDTV purchase at a discount club. But now, with Vizio putting out a pretty decent 50-inch plasma for $2,000, the question is, why wouldn't you buy your next TV--and other electronics, for that matter--at Costco or at Sam's Club, which has a similar return policy?
One of the issues is selection. Costco.com carries plenty of TVs from name-brand manufacturers, including highly rated sets from Panasonic and Pioneer--and yes, the company's return policy applies to items purchased on its Web site as well. But many of the real deals--such as the Vizio 50-inch plasma--are cash-and-carry, in-store purchases, with no shipping option available. And if you don't have a pick-up truck or a full-size SUV, getting a larger TV home can be a challenging proposition. Packing it up and returning it also isn't much fun, but when you start seeing price swings of $500 to $1,000 in a year, temptation rises.
If you're wondering how Costco stays in business with such an open-ended return policy, that's a good question. Costco doesn't share the details of its contracts with manufacturers, but it's a good bet that manufacturers share the costs--or even take the brunt of the hit--when you return a product. I asked Vizio reps whether the company takes back defective and nondefective TVs--the answer was yes to both. Without getting into a discussion over whether it has to take back sets, they added that, to help prevent unnecessary returns, the company offers free onsite service on TVs larger than 30 inches--in-home or at your business--for any problems that might arise within the first year of ownership. (Smaller sets are covered for a year as well but must be shipped to a repair facility.)
The big question is whether it's ethical to return a perfectly good TV after more than a year. As I said, while Costco may have a very lenient return policy, it appears from reading various message-board posts that not every Costco manager is inclined to accept nondefective products, especially as more customers start carting in 2004 models and upgrading to bigger sets. Many argue that they're perfectly within their rights as a consumer to make such a return. But others know that if enough people trade in their 42-inch plasmas for 50-inchers, the same thing will happen with TVs that took place a few years back with computers: manufacturers complained bitterly until Costco finally changed its return policy for PCs. In other words, abuse it, and you'll lose it.
Where do I stand on all this? Well, honestly, I'd be embarrassed to return a set that was in good working order after more than a year, but anything within those first 12 months is probably fair game. I have to say that, if I had the car for it, swapping a 32-incher for a 37--or a 42 for a 50--would be hard to resist. What do you think?
Have you ever returned an old but perfectly good product at Costco? What's ethical and what isn't?

"Lamhaa," an action-packed Bollywood film starring Sanjay Dutt, Bipasha Basu, Kunal Kapoor and Anupam Kher, opens today.
It's directed by Rahul Dholakia, who also helmed the award-winning "Parzania," which was based on the 2002 Gujarat genocide. "Lamhaa" also has its roots in recent history, focusing on the turmoil in Kashmir.
"Lamhaa" revolves around Vikram, played by Mr. Dutt, a retired paramilitary commando who is sent into the Valley to eliminate the man controlling the mayhem — Pasha (Yuri Suri). Little does Vikram know the operation will change his life and that of the people of Kashmir forever.

Posted by Traveller on August 19, 2012 at 09:59:10: In Reply to: re: Lift from Dublin Airport posted by sandratheshopper on August 19, 2012 at 00:50:46: You've never stayed in a B&B but you have already commented 'inappropriately' as you put it by calling country BB's 'lousy' - which in my dictionary means infected by lice? But in any case you are much more likely to catch bed bugs in a big city hotel than a country B&B. If the Irish Times is carrying large front page adverts for bed bug removal this very week - you can be sure that they are not doing it for fun! If you book carefully it's cheaper to fly than to take a taxi from the airport or to stay in an airport hotel. Whether on dole or, heaven forbid, a low income if you had to travel why add to the overall cost when every penny counts towards the mortgage or school books or even saving for a holiday? In any case too your comment was when have 'WE' become so stingy - you didn't refer to just our Castlebar Bound hitch hiker. Money is too tight to mention so it's not fair to call being prudent stingy. That was where 'Rip-Off' Ireland came from - we had become a nation of spendthrifts buying stuff we didn't need and paying over the odds for everything and of course all fuelled by credit cards. Now we are repaying the debts run up nationally as well as personally. People bring their own sandwiches to work too - 'stingy'? But why add to the cost of lunch?

The Australian Veterans' Accounts
Interview with Grace Halstead
...Grace Halstead was a nurse who took care of the sick and wounded on RAAF flights from Korea to a hospital in Japan.
"And the sister, in this case me and this other sister, would receive them into the plane in their litters. And that was highly organised because they had to go according to their injuries. In fact the fractures were on the upper litters so the fractured limb would be out of the way. And they came right down four litters either side so that's eight, plus walkers and psychos and so on. And the ones most seriously ill would be right on the bottom litter and right up near the bulkhead so that the sister would be, on take-off and landing, sitting between the two seriously ill patients.
And then once we took off we then started to, on each pannier, which was the litter, was a little message about each patient so we knew exactly what was wrong with them and what they needed on the journey, which was three and a half hours. And if it was calm it was wonderful and if it wasn't calm it wasn't so wonderful particularly when we had to hop over the mountains. Of course we didn't have, it wasn't, we needed oxygen in the plane if we went above 10,000 feet and quite often we gave oxygen during the trip.
However when I actually graduated I did a couple [of trips] on my own, we were the only medical people on board of course. The pilot and the navigator and the whole crew were marvellous because they would ask what sort of patients we had on, and how we wanted them to fly and if they were colostomies, which would of course have a colostomy bag that needed attention and they needed to fly as low as they possibly could. If they had to go up really high we had to have oxygen cylinders ready, well I did because I was the only one there this particular flight."
