Online Reservations
Unpretentious Italian restaurant with very good pasta dishes. A very nice wine list, including quite good Italian wine by the glass. We went before the ballet, and had a pretty table by the window. The wait staff was accommodating and competent. The noise level was low, but we were there before the crowd. The sister restaurant next door also looked attractive, as did the courtyard seating.
First, I must admit we are regular's at Serafina and we had to go and try some of the new menu items. This is just a great place in every way. We dine out regularly both by ourselves and with groups of friends. Serafina is our "Go To" place for all of our special events. Oh - they also do a great job with events - we had a birthday event their earlier this year in the library. It was perfect! My advice? Just go and have a great time.
We recently dined at Serafina with friends. The service, ambiance, food and wine was all superb! Highly recommend.
Fantastic restaurant that competes on the top of list with the best of Seattle's restaurants. While you are eating there you are thinking of when you can return to try some other menu selection or order the dish you are eating again. It may be located a bit out of the way (except if you live in the Eastlake neighborhood) but is well worth the few extra minutes of travel.
First time there for our anniversary. Quite loud and energetic but in a fun way. Food was really good. We are not foodies but we really enjoyed the beet salad, the serafina eggplant dish and the pasta and clams-I don't recall the fancy Italian names of the dishes. We really liked it-you should go. Also, we were late and I called to see if we could push our reservation back. They were very gracious in helping us out, even though it was a busy saturday night.
Staff is very polite and friendly. They are attentive and help each other out to ensure great service. I have dined here many times, and order the same dish (melazane) and it comes out consistent in flavor and presentation. Warm ambience.
I went to Serafina on the first day of Restaurant Week, so the restaurant was packed. The biggest negative in my wife's and my experience was the excessively long time it took for each of the three courses to reach our table. This could have been due to the packed house, but the extremely slow pacing was still excessive and extremely frustrating. The food, however, was fabulous, some of the best Italian food I've had in Seattle. My wife and I stuck to the Restaurant Week menu, and everything we had was eye-rollingly good. Our server, Sarah, was one of the best servers I've ever experienced. She was extremely knowledgeable about both food and wine, informative, charming and gracious. I can't say enough good things about her.
Went here for restaurant week. And it was pretty awesome!! Had the warm beet salad, which was nice. The butternut squash soup is a MUST HAVE!! Pork Loin was cooked perfectly, the mushroom pasta was also bomb. And the dessert... my goodness. Just awesome... period.
It was restaurant week, so we knew it would be crowded. The staff did a wonderful job of managing the hordes and our server was very, very good. The new fall menu was excellent.
An excellently prepared meal, professionally served. This place is a gem!
The food is GREAT, but it is LOUD. Pick which matters to you.
We enjoy dining at Sarafina and can always have a conversation that is not interrupted by too much noise nor too many service inquiries. The menu is inventive and original, not to be duplicated anywhere else.
Excellent food and stellar service. Go to Serafina and you will be delighted.
Serafina is a personal favorite and it never disappoints. The Food, the Wine, the Service, the Scene, it's all amazing.
Freshness and gastronomic know how that is rare to find in most smoke and mirror seattle restaurants. Please keep up the labor of love. Sincere thanks, Maria
I came there for restaurant week lunch meal. The service was so nice! I ordered the pork loin which cooked very tender and juicy. The panna cotta was good, too.
Haven't been here in a long, long time but it's still a wonderful place to eat. It was packed because of restaurant week but surprisingly we were able to get in and out of there in an hour. The pasta is always delicious and service is always outstanding. I could eat the Culurgiones till the end of time--they were so delicious I ate the large bowl by myself. I forgot how much I love this little neighborhood jem. Very romantic for couples--ambience is still the same and that's a great thing. Will be back for Culurgiones ASAP!!
Went for restaurant week dinner. Very prompt and attentive service. Street-side window tables where we dined was very cozy. The background noise levels were a bit high which drowned out the live music but overall ambiance was nice. We liked the beet salad as well as the trout entree preparation. The desserts were all good but the highlight was the fall-spiced panna cotta.
We had a leisurely lunch during Seattle Restaurant Week and took advantage of the $15 fixed price menu. The warm beet salad appetizer was heavenly albeit slightly skimpy on portion size .... might have been the price promotion driving that? But the pork loin entree and roasted pear dessert were good-sized portions and were also wonderful. Although we didn't order alcohol we enjoyed reading the lengthy wine/cocktail list, which had many enticing cocktails and mostly Italian wines. Speaking of Italy: the decor, ambiance and relaxed yet doting and competant service reminded us of our restaurant experiences in Northern Italy.
Serafina never disappoints. Had the restaurant week lunch fare at a fabulous price and all but licked my plate clean. Scrumptious dessert, too. Just sorry I had to go back to work rather than take a nap - deliriously sated. I have family and friends in the neighborhood so it's a staple.
I always read comments on Yelp, Google, or Open table before I chose any restaurants to eat. After reading through some comments, I had some good expectations about the restaurant. When I took my girlfriend to the restaurant for her birthday, atmosphere was not quite as romantic as I hoped; however, the food was far better than I expected it to be, which is why I am giving this restaurant a five. Bistecca alla Griglia is a must to have in this restaurant. I would definitely come back next time.
We had lunch here during Restaurant Week and we were not disappointed. The lunch offerings were interesting, tasty and exciting. The cauliflower bagna cauda appetizer made me want to cancel my entree and order it over and over! But the Pasta that followed was equally wonderful and I would order that again in a second! My husband's pork chop was a little more ordinary, but still very beautifully presented. Dessert was everything you could want. We have dined here for years and have yet to be disappointed.
The food was wonderful. Perfect seasonal menu. The service was just right for a business lunch.
We came for SRW and it was the first time for both of us. The restaurant is absolutely beautiful, as was the view of Puget Sound. We ordered off the fixed menu and everything was good, but not amazing like the hype that surrounded it. There was nothing to complain about, it just wasn't as delicious as I had anticipated. I would like to come back to try the regular menu, but due to the prices, it'll have to be a special occasion. In all, it was a very nice evening with great service, good food, and a truly beautiful restaurant.
Serafina is one of our favorites. This time we went for Seattle Restaurant Week. It was difficult to choose for each of the three courses. The menu was interesting, not your run-of-the-mill Italian restaurants. I chose the butternut squash soup with chestnut - it was excellent. I followed with roasted trout with pine nuts, currants and preserved citrus - an surprising and tasty combination of flavors. I finished with citrus-poached pear with zabaglione and rosemary shortbread - refreshingly delicious! My dining partner made different choices for all three courses and was equally pleased with the quality of the food. Service was excellent - attentive but not intrusive; helpful and hospitable.
I was suprised at how great the atmosphere was for a place in Eastlake. Great food and ambiance. I would go back.
We had a wonderful, last minute romantic dinner---food was excellent, service very attentive. We plan to return for the Jazz !
While Serafina is always evolving, the food is of a very a high standard. Nothing fancy or over the top pretentious. The ambiance of the place is very comfortable, like an old friend who cares about you. I loved their Ossobuco, which is rarely found on menus these days. Overall, Serafina is a great deal more genuine than the trendier new places. It is very crowded on the weekends, but if you have a reservation, every effort is made to seat you as quickly as possible and with a smile. Our server was attentive and blessedly unpretentious. I must have everything gluten free and dairy free and she was very helpful and careful to see that my food was perfect for me.
Wonderful dinner. Great service. Parking is a hassle they should have valet. Oddest thing was that they charge 3.50 for bread. I eat out a lot. Never can remember seeing that anywhere. Seems as though they could throw it in with the $10 cocktails.
A true Seattle gem. The food is innovative and excellent. The service is very good though the wait staff seemed a bit stretched Thi on Saturday. And its a cool space. My only complaint about Serafina is that the acoustics are terrible. You end up having to yell for your dining companions to hear you an the other patrons do the same, making it worse. They need acoustic panels or something.
I really enjoy Serafina, and it has been too long since I was there last. Honestly, I was a bit worried - what if it wasn't as good as I remember, what if the service had slipped? But Serafina is still the outstanding restaurant it has always been. Our waiter was excellent - all the front of house staff were wonderful. The food recommendation was spot on, the little cheese filled potato pasta in a San Maranzano tomato sauce spiced with cinnamon - it was perfect. From the beauty of the dish to the flavor, it was incredible. Our server was attentive but not intrusive, our water glasses were filled promptly and the wine recommendation was excellent. Serafina really is a cut above.
The food was outstanding and we were truly impressed with the knowledge and recommendation from the sommelier. What kept ambiance from getting five star was the proximity of tables. They are super close together causing a lot of chair bumping, server derrier in your face moments, and next table dining occupant really bad perfume encounters.
excellent food as always, best mussels/clams we can recall ever having. romantic, great neighborhood spot, not too crowded on a sunday night, I would imagine you could sneak in here any non-weekend night without reservations. We had an appetizer and two small plate entrees for the two of us and split an excellent drink ($10) and got out for about $50. They had a jazz piano player who was fine, but the other diners didn't seem to notice and the chatter and music together didn't really mix. one or the other would be ideal, but it was still cozy/romantic and great good.
This was a birthday dinner, and the food and service were great as always. Just love Serafina!
Serafina is my regular business lunch spot, but yesterday's food and service excelled. In particular, the scallops with accompanying vegetables was a spectacular dish that ought to be on the regular menu....or the accompaniment should grace other entrees. And the service was perfect!
Food was wonderful and martini's great. Out of town guests definitely will be back.
A little crowded, a bit noisy, but the service and food were both great.
We had a great experience here. The wine steward really knew his stuff and helped my (new) fiance pick out the perfect bottle of wine for us. Our server was fantastic - always keeping us topped up and checking to ensure everything was good. We went for dinner around 8:00PM, so while it was not as quiet as I would have preferred (guests a little more into their cups I believe...) the atmosphere was very classy and romantic. We will definitely be returning on our next trip to Seattle. They made this a very special night for the two of us.
What a great place! We felt really special that night, very attentive staff, great food! If possible, I would recommend asking for the table in the corner by the window. You still get the essence of the place but you're not having to yell at your partner across from you. Brian, our waiter was awesome!!!!!! Rachel booked our reservation and went above and beyond to give us a quieter spot in the restaurant. As for parking, :( be careful for those spots marked no parking 6pm to midnight!
Life is short, go to Serafina, NOW! Equally adept with a business lunch, romantic dinner for two, or hosting the family, Serafina is a true keeper. Chef and team create an inspired and delicious menu, and the staff and service are impeccable. Visit Serafina now, you will be a fan for life!
We had a wonderful dinner. Everything was perfectly prepared, with a unique and tasty touch.
We love Serafina in the Winter, especially. It has such a cozy wintery warmth. We enjoyed the live music on Friday night. The lasagne is always a stand-out. And the cocktails are perfectly concocted!
We love this restaurant! We always go for lunch or dinner, (and sometimes both) whenever we are in Seattle. The food is fresh, flavorful and beautifully presented. The servers are wonderful. Go, you will not be disappointed.
We found this place on Trip Adviser. My husband's birthday and we never were in Seattle before. Serafinas was perfect for this occasion. Food was awesome. Good wine and a hopping place.
Serafina is our go-to place for a special meal. The staff is wonderful, attentive, and very knowledgeable. We have done every thing from romantic dinners for two, to private events. It is amazing !
We discovered Serafina probably 15 years ago and ever since it has been our regular spot for romantic dinners on weekend getaways from Portland. Great food, great atmosphere! Always great music. Start with a drink next door at Cicchetti,
Serafina is a perennial favorite! The chef has a wonderful palate of flavors and knows the time tested and uber new ways to combine them in flavorful dishes that are the height of perfection. Ambiance fits the meal, from delectable delights in the trellis-lined courtyard on a sunny summer eve, to warm and cozy winter feasts for the eyes, nose and tastebuds. As always Serafina makes you feel like home and pampered with the simplest dish done in it's own special way. Simply can't go wrong!
We really like Serafina, because the food and staff are so good, but don't plan on talking, yelling is more like it. In the summer when the patio is open, you can have a meal without ear plugs.
Wonderful meal! One of the best we ever experienced. We will return soon.
While we all enjoyed the ambiance and the wonderful food, our evening was made nearly perfect by our lovely waitress. She was thorough, very pleasant, offered some excellent suggestions and was extremely knowledgeable about the menu. Unfortunately, I didn't catch her name but she has been at Serafina for 10 years so is a seasoned professional.

Studying the stars in optical light alone -- the light that's visible to the human eye -- is a bit like trying to appreciate a symphony when you can hear only one instrument. It might be pretty, but it doesn't tell the whole story.
Until the Space Age, though, that's the limitation that astronomers faced -- they couldn't appreciate the entire spectrum of energy. And that means they missed a lot of important details about the universe.
An example is Fomalhaut, the brightest star of Piscis Austrinus, the southern fish. It's low in the southeast at nightfall. It's easy to pick out because it's the only bright star in that region of the sky.
From visible light alone, astronomers could tell that the star is about 25 light-years away, and that it's a little bigger, hotter, and more massive than the Sun.
But one of the most interesting discoveries about Fomalhaut came 25 years ago. An orbiting satellite measured the infrared energy from the star. Earth's atmosphere blocks most of the infrared, so it's best studied from space.
The satellite detected an infrared glow around the star. The glow is produced by grains of ice and dust in a big disk around Fomalhaut. The disk is probably similar to the one that gave birth to the planets of our own solar system.
Later satellites saw big gaps in the disk. The gaps could be swept clean by orbiting planets.
So adding the infrared has helped astronomers piece together the symphony of a nearby star.

Last night in Montana, KRTV's emergency alert system was HACKED and a ZOMBIE APOCALYPSE WARNING that spoke of 'Dead bodies rising from their graves in various countries" warned people to 'stay inside and not try to apprehend these individuals."
Today it has been passed off as a hoax.... BUT WAS IT??
Cover up. We were warned, it's happening. BUT THE GOVERNMENT DIDN'T LIKE IT. They are passing it off as a hoax while they try to contain the situation...
...but we're truly all doomed. Run for your lives. Surround your homes with outward facing treadmills and hold your families close.
This is the end. Godspeed to us all.

Reviews by Ciocanelu:More User Reviews:BowdoinbeerboyMaine 5/5 rDev +9.4% look: 5 | smell: 5 | taste: 5 | feel: 5 | overall: 5 Had at Novare Res 12/13/13 for "Bier Geek Christmas." I was told by the staff that this is a blend of 1, 2, and 3 year old gueze's that then spend about a year on cherries. If this is indeed similar to their regular gueuze blend, the fruit has really taken the acidic and sour notes down a notch, this is maybe a 3/10 on sourness. This beer poured a very red color (sort of like red wine, but a bit hazy). It is literally cherry red. The foam is a lovely pink and settles down quickly to some lovely pink lacing around the class. Beer is essentially opaque. The nose is nothing like what I expected. It is mostly tart funk, not too acidic, not too much fruit, perhaps some hints of must (general lambic awesomeness). I had expected the nose to be really fruity and it really isn't. The taste is a three part event. Up front I get a semi-sweet cherry bit, this slowly fades to a definite fruity sweetness (fruity not malty) that peaks a second or two after tasting and then fades to an acidic/tangy/funky bit in the aftertaste. This beer is by far the most complex beer I've ever had, so much going on here. Great palate coverage, its a thin beer, but it never seems "watery" it holds up well on the palate. This beer was simply fabulous, it was totally worth the $9 per 8oz pour, simply delightful.

Vintage 2010. bottled 8/29/12. poured into Cantillon wine stem. Appearance: medium red colored beer with 1 finger of head that quickly drops to no head. Smell: moderately sour nose. Tart cherries. Slight funkiness. Taste: Mild sourness atleast a 5/10; also has moderate funkiness. It is more funky that I expected from the nose. The funkiness is the signature funky note from most Cantillon sours. Tart cherries is the finish. Mouthfeel: low end of medium bodied beer with low end of moderate carbonation levels. This sour is very drinkable. Fantastic drinkability. i really enjoy how awesome the mouthfeel on this beer is. Semidry finish. Overall: I have tried 06' LPF and now the 10' LPK from Cantillion. The sourness is much bigger in the LPF. Its close to a toss up which of the Lou Pepe series beer that I like better. Serving type: bottle 11-24-2013 20:11:07 | More by 4DAloveofSTOUT |

Men Of Standard
The contemporary gospel quartet Men of Standard comprised vocalists Michael Bacon, Isaac Carree, Bryan Pierce and Lowell Pye. The group was originally formed by Carree and Pye, both veterans of John P. Kee's New Life Community Choir, in tandem with Pierce, a former Youth Pastor at New Orleans' Greater St. Stephens church; after a handful of roster changes, the line-up truly gelled with the addition of Bacon, a noted producer in his native Dallas. Produced by David Caldwell, Men of Standard's self-titled debut album appeared on the Muscle Shoals Sound label in 1996; Feels Like Rain followed three years later. ~ Jason Ankeny, Rovi

Marijuana plants seized in Harrison County on Wednesday
Written by AVC News
Sheriff Myers: $200,000 worth of pot found during air, ground search
HARRISON COUNTY, Ohio -- Harrison County authorities say they seized more than $200,000 worth of marijuana during a county-wide sweep on Wednesday.
Sheriff Joe Myers reported that the Harrison County Drug Task Force and agents of the Ohio Bureau of Criminal Investigation scoured the county by ground and air for the plants, some of which were nearly six feet tall. Agents of the Ohio BCI valued each of the plants at around $1,000.
Sheriff Myers said that many of the marijuana plants were located in cornfields, where the growers hoped to hide them from view. Plants were seized from the Jewett, Scio and Cadiz areas.
No arrests were made on Wednesday, but Sheriff Myers said that the growers will face a bevy of charges. An investigation is ongoing.

Jail-Breaking Kindle 3.1 Firmware
Based on info I'd seen on various web forums, I uninstalled the screen-saver hack and the jail-break hack (the latter is needed in order for the former to be installed) on my Kindle 3 before I installed the 3.1 version firmware version from Amazon. Now there is a 3.1-compatible jail-break available.
I took the plunge tonight and downloaded and installed it, which seemed to go smoothly (no error messages of any sort). I then installed the same screen-saver hack I'd had on my K3 before (version 0.18.N), and it also installed smoothly. I powered off my Kindle, and my personalized screen-savers were back just like before. (Since I had not deleted the screen-saver directory the original hacking had created, it apparently re-used them this time around.)
Now I'm a (relatively) happy camper, no longer having to see the infamous "dead authors" when I turn off my Kindle.

By Gary Brown
Sports: Swimming and diving.
School: Wayne State (Michigan).
Class: Sophomore.
Majors: Exercise science.
Athletics accomplishments: Finished fifth and ninth on the one- and three-meter boards, respectively, at the 2011 Division II Women's Swimming and Diving Championships.
What you didn't know: In the Kortman family, when the children turn 13, they go on a camping trip with Dad. After their 16th birthday, Mom takes them on a mission trip. Paige's journey took her to South Africa for 16 days. "The poverty there is a lot different than the poverty here," she said. "But even they were able to be thankful for what they had, which makes me more appreciative of all the opportunities I have."
Like many young girls, Paige Kortman's first "athletics" experience was in ballet. Obviously, though, from the photos on this page and on the cover of this magazine, Paige Kortman is not a ballerina.
"I got kicked out after about two weeks because I would never listen to my
instructor, and I would just do cartwheels everywhere," said Kortman, who slipped off the slippers for a barefoot approach.
Indeed, those cartwheels she did as a kid have turned into pikes, tucks and twists – good enough to finish fifth in the one-meter competition and ninth in the three-meter at the 2011 Division II Women's Swimming and Diving Championships.
Now as a sophomore at Wayne State in Detroit, the Holland, Mich., native is looking for a bigger splash in events that reward a small one.
"I've never actually stopped to think about how high my dreams in this sport actually are, but I just know I want to keep improving as time goes on," she said.
Kortman's family background has provided her a unique perspective on life. She was adopted as an infant by a white couple and as a young girl began noticing how members of other families looked alike. Not hers, though. One of her three brothers, who is Asian, also was adopted.
"My mom told me that when I was younger, one day I just came up to her and asked, 'Why did God paint me brown?' And I guess that's when she told me I was adopted," Kortman said. "I always kind of knew there was something different about me, but I don't think it ever really affected me until I got old enough to understand."
What Kortman understands now is to appreciate diverse backgrounds.
"My parents always reassured me that it's OK to not be like everyone else," she said. "That experience has made me more open to people in general. Growing up, my parents always taught us to never see color. You have to see people for who they really are."
Who Kortman really is depends on her mood.
"She can be goofy and funky or she can be quiet and withdrawn," Wayne State diving coach Kelly LaCroix said. "What I like most is that she's very humble, which is probably because of her upbringing. Paige is a coach's dream. She's a pleasure to have on deck, she works hard, she stays focused and she's competitive."
As a diver, Kortman is fearless. "You have to trust yourself to be able to do the dives," she said.
She also enjoys the "edge" that comes from launching off the board and performing antics few would attempt.
"I guess knowing that what I was doing was risky kind of gave me a thrill," she said of her early days in the sport. "It's weird because whenever I try something new I'm usually a little scared about it, but afterward I realize that it's not that bad.
"I just like flipping around, I guess."

Addison Trail students prepare for spring play
ADDISON — Mystery will fill the air at Addison Trail High School next week as the Theatre Department presents its spring play, "The Musical Comedy Murders of 1940" by John Bishop.
"It's a murder-mystery who-done-it comedy with music," said Director Anna Jakubka Court. "It's not a musical by any means, but there's music in it. There are a lot of mistaken identities in trying to figure out who the backstage slasher really is."
The show features 10 cast members, including junior Brenda Sypolt, who plays Nikki Crandall.

This form, in Indonesian, guarantees Shapelle Corby's good behaviour. Photo: Michael Bachelard
An 11th-hour bureaucratic obstacle has been thrown in the path of Schapelle Corby's parole bid and the Indonesian government is blaming Australia for it.
Corby's release on parole may now be delayed for weeks by bureaucratic blockages in the Corrections Department in Jakarta, even though it has already been signed off by the Kerobokan prison management and the department in Bali.
Ayub Suratman, a spokesman for Indonesia's Director-General of Corrections in Jakarta, said the Australian drug smuggler's parole application would not yet be considered by his department because the correct guarantee from the Australian government of Corby's behaviour was not printed out properly.
This is a letter from the Australian Consul-General, featuring the Australian Coat of Arms. Photo: Michael Bachelard
"It does not follow the existing regulations," Mr Ayub told Fairfax Media.
He said the letter from the Australian consulate in Bali, written last February and guaranteeing Corby's behaviour on parole, should have been printed on consulate or embassy letterhead.
The relevant document is entitled, in Indonesian, "Guarantee Letter" and is actually a printed form produced by the Kerobokan prison in Bali, which Australian consul-general to Bali Brett Farmer was required by the prison to fill in and sign.
A cover letter attached to that form was printed on Australian government letterhead.
But Mr Ayub said that was not good enough.
"Who says it's from the Australian government? It has no letterhead," he said on Tuesday.
His department will write to the Australian embassy to ask that the document be corrected.
Fairfax Media has contacted the Foreign Affairs Department for comment.
Corby's parole application also still lacks a letter from the country's Immigration Department saying she does not need a visa to live in Indonesia because she is still a prisoner under the Corrections Department.
It is the job of the Director-General of Corrections to apply to the Immigration Department for that letter, but he has not yet done so. Mr Ayub said he would.
Once all the bureaucrats, have signed off, then the application will go to the Minister for Justice and Human Rights, Amir Syamsuddin, who, in a recent interview with Fairfax Media, foreshadowed approving Corby's parole.
The former Gold Coast beauty student was caught nine years ago entering Bali with 4.2 kilograms of cannabis in her boogie board bag. She has always denied her guilt, insisting it was Qantas baggage handlers who put it there.
If she is granted parole, she would be eligible to return to Australia in September 2017.

Fr om some time ago I had the news from a very good and trusted source that I can´t tell (sorry) that Adobe seems to have plans to make an external software for Photoshop CS6 (or CS7) that is to make your own photoshop filters with a graphical similar "filter editor" like FF have, and so it would be much easier to use their own Pixel Bender Technology and do not have to learn how to code as it happens now.
Right now ONLY expert and/or skilled persons can make filters for Pixel Bender because you must write the code yourself (as you can see here) and there is not any easy and wondeful way to write them as it happens with FF, wh ere it has beautiful and useful graphical GUI to do it. I think that this could be a big problem for FF, as they have already integrated and developed 3 important things that FF does not have, and as far as I know there is no plan to have. Pixel Bender and Adobe have already 1 - 64 bit code 2 - Optimized memory manager to use the most memory possible (even in 32 bits) 3 - GPU optmization and acceleration to make filters rendering and preview in realtime. 64 bit code Obviously that I am not requesting that FF is converted to 64 bit because I know or think that for this perhaps all the code must be rebuilt, so this would be a huge work, and FF is not able to do this right now, and the main reason is to be able to use more than 4 GB RAM And considering that FF uses it´s own memory manager probably there is no point for this Optimized memory manager FF could in some way possibly optimize their own special memory controller to use 3 GB RAM instead of only 1.5 GB. I suposse and think that this probably could help to the perfomance of FF, or may be not, not really sure. GPU optmization With the GPU acceleration Pixel Bender filter can preview and render in realtime. This would be the best way to optimize FF and make it a beast and have all the power to compete against the other companies but regretably GMM have confirmed now that FF 4.0 will not have any GPU acceleration
NOTE: I have not written before about this news from Adobe because as it is a "secret" I did not want to tell about this, and I have not, as only have said the intentions of Adobe and nothing more What have made me write this is the confirmation from GMM |

I've supported FF since I first discovered it in version 1. Even sold a few copies for FF even though I've never been paid. I have paid for the v2 and v3 upgrades but still rarely use it because of the slowness and lack of organization. I'm also not a fan of the lack of quality in the online library with all the low use filters one must sift through to find something that's up to snuff. Then, half the time, when I find something I can use, it's so slow that I end up deleting it from my downloads and use Genetica instead.
Despite claims of greater quality of the rendered image, if it is in fact true, the 45 minutes plus that it takes to render a tile or the ridiculous amount of time it take to preview any change to a setting (on a decent Quadcore PC) renders FF unusable for me in 99% of the times I might use it. I just don't have two to four hours to spare to create a new image. I think resolving the preview times, render times, and organizational ability should be the only priorities for version 4. I definitely will not be upgrading again without those issues being resolved. Fred Weiss

Would be nice to see some PixelBender nodes or something. I mean in one way, PixelBender already has a nice market. Lots of scripts available for use and for sale I'd love to see some more PixelBender market. Although the one thing that bugs me about dealing with PixelBender is the scale at which you can render graphics at. For example, if I want to filter a 5k image it's not so bad, but give it a very complex operation to deal with... it takes a fair amount of time still.
In the mean time, I'm using QuartzComposer to make GPU based filters. Very handy tool for realtime image manipulation and analysis. Maybe SpaceRay should take a look at that. |

Well, I think that is not possible to put "a quality" mark for submitting filter to the online library, and you can´t ask to the filters authors that ONLY submit very good and high quality filter and do not send low quality. The problem comes where you need to define and mark a line between what is a low quality and what is high quality ? and perhaps also what is a useful filter and which one is not? It depends much of what you like and need, and I have seen that some filter I think are low quality are very welcomed by others, so how do you measure it? I think that navigating the online library using the "recently date" is not tiresome and is not a problem, and I also use much better the Filter Forge Browser inside FF to get new filters where you get a higher size thumbnail and with all the thumbnails filling the screen. GENETICA DOES NOT HAVE ANY KIND OF FILTER LIBRARY I prefer to be navitaging a library searching what I could like and be useful than shifting through LOTS of posts on the Genetica Forum searching for filters because there is NOT AVAILABLE any kind of library in Genetica.
YES, I agree that it have happened to many times to me too, I mean that I found a beautiful and lovely filter that I would like much to use, and is fast on very low resolution, but then you load a normal 12 megapixel photo or rise it to 3000x3000 pixels and it really gets VERY slow, AND I do not have a old computer, as I have a new CPU i7 2600K 3,4 GHz, so the problem is with FF and not the CPU.
45 minutes takes only if are using resolutions higher than 3000x3000 or even 4000x4000 or beyond. or the ridiculous amount of time it take to preview any change to a setting YES, this is true that you must wait a lot of time to preview a simple single change in the settings, and is painful to be waiting that FF re-renders everything again ti see that the setting is not still good and need more, on lots of other filters from the competing companies the settings are applied quickly or very quickly and even some are made in realtime preview.
YES, I AGREE WITH YOU ON THIS !! (Although not o the part that I will not be upgrading) What is the point of having new features, new components, and new possible interesting things IF FF CONTINUES TO BE SLOW AND TAKES MUCH TIME TO PREVIEW AND RENDER THE RESULT ???? The organizational ability has been said that IS already a priority for FF 4 so this is not a problem. |

Of course you can. Stock sites do it with all their contributors based on what they think is good.
Not sure why you would say that. They have a large library of textures and there is another library of unrestricted high res photos. What they don't have are user submitted filters.
This is true but 3600 x 3600 is the standard size image we create for our commercial tile collections. Fred Weiss

Adobe have just confirmed that Pixel Bender now is included inside Photoshop CS6, BUT there is no further news about this software for creating the filters for Pixel Bender with a Graphical interface, although there is some final news still coming when the final CS6 will be released.
Also now that Pixel Bender is already and finally inside Photoshop and is not anymore mostly unknown as before, surely will grow in popularity and hope to see new things for it. |

I don't understand why you are making Pixel Bender out to be a secret as it is well known and old news in the coding world by now. It's been openly available for the public to download for ages already.
For any coders you don't need to be a expert either as the format is really simple to use, it's probably just as easy to use as FF lua code and thats quite simple due to the way it's done. Basically pixel bender is adobes own version of HLSL/GLSL shader effects so they can be easily used within flash and photoshop. Pixel Bender was already available in photoshop before CS6 by the way. They have a 3d version also and will probably included that at some point since photoshop now has 3d features. |
Posted: March 30, 2012 6:46 am | ||||||||||
How's the 3D version of Pixel Bender called? | |||||||||
Posted: March 30, 2012 3:08 pm | ||||||||||
It's literally called Pixel Bender 3D. http://labs.adobe.com/technologies/pixelbender3d/
And Photoshop had 3D input since CS5. I mean, historically speaking there were limited 3D functionality in earlier versions of Photoshop (via the 3D transforms filter) but lets not argue that. It's not the same as the ones in the latest versions. With CS6, it's improved but it's pretty much the same thing. And you know... I don't see many people even touching that 3D feature in Photoshop. It's handy, but it's kinda like... just there for the sake of being there as something to keep people excited. As much as pixel bender's all cool, pretty sure not all of us will pick it up and enjoy making filters with it. It's not "friendly" as Filter Forge. It's not like you can whip out diffuse, bump, normal, specular, AO, and rAO maps and generate super complex stuff immediately. I mean render speed wise, pixel bender's awesome. But in terms of using it like Filter Forge... it falls on different grounds. So I mean, if I were to want a specific texture or function, I have to ... do some programming or wait for somebody else to do it for me. I guess that's why I like Filter Forge better. It's a treat to use it. |

Skybase, Thanks for the link.
Oh, and you wrote:
Well, I feel the same way, but with FF too I can't begin to understand what you gurus do in all the fancy filters. I can break apart the simplest of filters and understand how they work, but... A) I can't translate that to something completely new B) I can't understand the "big guns"... Scripting is over my head, and the math behind image processing is light years beyond me. I mean, take Inujima's Soccer filter for example... I tried to make something like that, but couldn't figure how to make and position the free poligons (Hexagons and Pentagons). When Inujima uploaded his filter I said "Oh cool, let's see how he did it". Then I opened it up in the editor, and a couple of hours later, when I regained consciousness I thought to myself "What the flipping heck is THAT!?" |

I did not say at all that the Pixel Bender is a secret, and as you say right, it is very well known and famous, and is not new either. Perhaps the confusion comes that this thread is NOT about Pixel Bender itself, is about a secretly hidden project that Adobe is working on to make Pixel Bender available OUTSIDE of the coding world and make it EASY for anyone to make filters, the same that is easy to make them in FF using a VISUAL editor instead of a coding editor like the one PB has one.
Exactly, for ANY CODERS would be probably easy and simple, and IF you know how to make scripts and know how to use the LUA language in FF. I would never be able to make a filter in Pixel Bender or use the LUA in FF.
By the way, this not unveiling a secret either, and this ONLY means that it will be now MORE known than before, and many more users will be able to use the GPU accelerated filters and probably would appear even more filters once it is more known than it is already now. |

text: Clostridium tetani The bacterium causing tetanus. Tetanus (lock jaw) is caused by a toxin that is produced by Clostridium tetani. These bacteria live mostly in dirt. Gaining entry into the body through skin wounds, they produce an infection and a toxin that attacks nerves. The toxin causes sustained contraction or spasms of the muscles. These painful muscle spasms cause 'locking' of the jaw as well as problems with moving, breathing, eating, and drinking. Tetanus can be fatal even when treated. Tetanus is still seen in children that have not been vaccinated and newborns whose mothers lack immunity to tetanus. Tetanus also occurs in people in their 50s and 60s whose immunity has worn off. Vaccination with DTaP prevents tetanus.

- James Franco Wins One for 'Spring Breakers' Just Like That, A24s Awards Campaign
With two Oscars (and 16 nominations), seven Golden Globes (25 nominations), two Emmys and way, way more accolades, there's seemingly not much that Meryl Streep hasn't accomplished.
And yet perhaps the most acclaimed and celebrated actress of the modern era had one major milestone to reach: gracing the cover of Vogue!
PHOTOS: Sizzling seniors in Hollywood
And now, finally, at age 62, Streep gets the honor for the January 2012 issue of the ultimate fashion bible.
"I was joking with the ladies earlier," Streep, promoting her predictably acclaimed turn as Margaret Thatcher in "The Iron Lady," tells the magazine. "And I told them I was probably the oldest person ever to be on the cover of Vogue."
PHOTOS: Meryl's pregnant Oscars moment
Indeed, Streep (who played a thinly veiled version of Vogue editrix Anna Wintour in "The Devil Wears Prada") knows she defied the odds and outdated limitations for women in Hollywood, with her roles getting even better as she enters senior citizen-dom.
She admits that, in 1989, when she turned 40, "I remember turning to my husband [sculptor Don Gummer] and saying, 'Well, what should we do? Because it's over.'"
PHOTOS: Stars' big-screen twins!
And, soon after reaching the big 4-0, Streep reveals that she received three offers to play witches in films. "Once women passed childbearing age they could only be seen as grotesque on some level," she surmises, and then portrayed older, or terminally ill, women in films like "One True Thing" -- "women whose usefulness had passed."
But richer roles followed, like the recent middle-aged, post-divorce sex comedy "It's Complicated." "In the period of 'Silkwood' [1983], ["It's Complicated"] could never have been made, with a 60-year-old actress deciding between her ex-husband and another man. With a 40-year-old actress it would never have been made!" she says.
PHOTOS: See Meryl's real-life homecoming queen photo!
She was thrilled to play British prime minister Thatcher, despite her significant political differences with the leader. "With any character I play, where she is me is where I meet her. It's very easy to set people at arm's length and judge them," she explains. "Yes, you can judge the policies and the actions and the shortcomings -- but to live inside that body is another thing entirely. And it's humbling on a certain level and infuriating, just like it is to live in your own body. Because you recognize your own failings, and I have no doubt that she recognized hers."

Michigan State University hikes tuition 3.5%
It's going to cost the average Michigan State University student $210 more to attend the fall semester.
The MSU Trustees today approved a 3.5 percent tuition increase for next year.
The increase will be slightly higher for out-of-state students.
Lou Anna Simon is president of MSU. She says no one wants to raise college tuition.
"There are stories about students who are definitely in debt at a higher level than they should be," Simon told the MSU Board of Trustees before the vote.
Other Michigan public colleges and universities also approved tuition hikes this week, including the University of Michigan and Michigan Tech.

Tihany is acting as design consultant to Peacock + Lewis Architects in recreating the Florentine Room at The Breakers resort in Palm Beach.
