I'm printing drum-scanned black and white negatives that are in Grayscale mode, what "Working Profile" should I be using in Photoshop ? sGray, DotGain 15%, Dot Gain 30% etc.
I'm printing on Hahnemuhle Albrecht Durer, I downloaded the icc profile from the hahnemule website, what is this profile for, softproofing only ?
On the Photoshop Print screen, I choose "let Photoshop manage colors". I can also choose a printer profile but the hahnemule one is not there. Which one should I choose ? I can also choose Print Setting which opens up the Canon setup screen, and I need to specify a Media Type. What is the difference between the Media Type on the canon screen and the printer driver used by photoshop ? Which one do I choose ?
Should I base my print rendering intent on the rendering intent I selected on the proof screen in photoshop ?
If I profile my own paper, will I be making a print driver profile and a soft proof profile ?
I understand that Media Type determines how much ink to apply based on how much a paper type absorbs inks, but how does it relate to the print driver profile ?

You may, at best, begin with the beginning...http://www.luminous-landscape.com/essays/the_digital_print.shtml (edit : I see on the dedicated thread that you didin't wait for this recommandation! All the answers you need should be in there I think)or if you prefer videoshttp://www.luminous-landscape.com/videos/tutorials/guide_to_colour_management.shtml which is part of http://www.luminous-landscape.com/videos/tutorials/camera_to_print_and_screen.shtmlFor a more in-depth exploration of the subject try http://colorremedies.com/realworldcolor/ eg (older, but complete and yet very well explained).Hope this helps.
I have a ColorMunki and a Pro9000 so may be able to help. But read the stuff on the links first.Adobe RGB is fine. You can use a grayscale working space but this may confuse things later. Don't use any of the "DotGain" profiles or working spaces as these are intended for commercial printing presses.This profile is for printing also.Best read the links. If you choose to Let Photoshop Manage Colours the key here is to ensure that the media type selected in the Canon dialogue is the same as that used by Hahnemüehle when they made the profile. Check the Hahnemüehle website to ensure you are using the same settings as they did.Not necessarily. Soft proof allows you to view the potential results it does not effect the final print.Yes. They kind of co-exist in the same profile file.It doesn't relate directly to the profile but you have to make sure the print driver settings are identical to those used to produce the profile.Yes, it seems very confusing at the start, and not all you read (especially on the internet) is that clear. The video tutorial on this website may be a good investment I've read very good things about it but not seen it myself <http://www.luminous-landscape.com/videos/tutorials/guide_to_colour_management.shtml> . BUT, it all gets easier as you go along reading and experimenting and trying things out and then one day you finally get the principles of the thing ! Then of course things get esoteric but best not go there for now !Hope this helps.
Who's making the scans? You should be using the embedded profile from the scanner (the profile that defines those RGB values). I doubt you're getting a native grayscale scan from such a unit. Is someone converting from the native scanner profile to grayscale? You will be making a printer profile for both uses. The profile shows a simulation on-screen of the output and when you are ready, converts the data to that output color space. The profile reflects all the settings and behavior of the entire print path. So you want to select the 'best' media type behavior, then profile that behavior along with all the other settings in the print driver. A profile does just what the name says: it profiles, fingerprints the entire process.
Do you mean I should be using the embedded scanner profile as my working space ?
The black and white scans were scanned in color, I used the channel mixer to remove the noiser red channel then converted to grayscale in photoshop. Which brings up the question, with a black and white original should I stick to RGB or grayscale ?
If possible yes. At least you'd want the data presented that way because that color space and profile define what the scanner actually produced. You can't get to an RGB working space before that step. The main benefit of a synthetic RGB working space like ProPhoto RGB, Adobe RGB etc, is that when all three color numbers are the same (87/87/87), that's neutral. This isn't necessarily the case with the scan in a RGB scanner space. But to end up in such a space, someone, somewhere has to make another color space conversion (Scanner RGB to Adobe RGB (1998)). I figured they were scanned in color, the question is, what's the scanner RGB space and why isn't that the embedded profile? As to sticking with RGB or grayscale, the advantage of the later is a smaller file due to 2 less channels. But what will the end results be from the data? IF the scanner is providing some RGB color space and the tagged profile that defines it, unless the file size is causing issues, I'd just keep it in that color space.
Something Important In Relation To The Pro9000I have found that trying to print greyscale images on the Pro9000 to be problematic if you use any kind of colour management (and, believe me, I've tried !).Because of the inks, and the algorithm used, you tend to get some greenish dark tones and magenta in some light tones.The best results I obtained were from using Canon's Easy-PhotoPrint Pro (a plug-in for Photoshop) and then selecting the Grayscale Photo option. Using the Color Adjustment
button gives some control over the warmth of the image. This uses a special greyscale algorithm, which takes a lot longer to print but produces a much more neutral and pleasing image.
What do I lose by tossing out the two channels ?
Well if you do output to an Epson, you'll be sending it RGB data, so you'll end up rebuilding them back in anyway.
Is that also true if I use QuadTone RIP ?
The B&W prints coming out of the canon are definately not neutral and seem to suffer from a bit from metamerism (or according to Jeff Schew - gray balance failure ). The tonality just doesn't compare - it's far superior in color mode. Is that plugin essentially doing the same thing as "grayscale printing" mode ?
As I recollect from my experiments the "grayscale printing" mode accessed through the printer driver didn't work very well and exhibited the problems you describe. Canon's Easy-PhotoPrint Pro can be downloaded free from their website and, once installed, can be accessed from Automate menu (under File). It's certainly worth a try.
Another option is JUST what I needed...


text: Hi everyone. I have about 20 or so hats (fedoras, caps, panama, etc.). Currently they take up an entire shelving unit as I am afraid to crush them by stacking. I am admittedly ignorant on the matter of storage methods, and would like to know how you all store your hats when not in use. I thought about hat boxes, but this would only take up even more space in my home. Some questions: How do you store your hats? Can fedoras be safely stacked? If so, up to how many high? Are fedoras to be resting on the crown or brim? Please share your wisdom. Photos are appreciated too.

Canterbury has secured outstanding front rower Sam Kasiano for another three years.
Kasiano agreed to the contract extension with the Bulldogs, having made his debut for the club in round one last year.
The 21-year-old says the presence of new coach Des Hasler had an influence on his decision to stay at Belmore.
"Des and the coaching staff have helped a lot to improve my game this year," he said in a statement.
"Hopefully I can keep improving."
Kasiano has played in each of the Bulldogs' 12 matches this season, the club sitting in fifth position on the ladder.

LONDON (Dec. 30)
The only synagogue in Lvov, capital of Western Ukraine, in the Soviet Union, has been closed down, leaving the 30,000 Jews in that city of nearly a half-million population without a single house of worship, according to a report published here today by the Sunday Telegraph.
The shutdown, according to the newspaper, was the culmination of a year-long campaign carried on by the Communist press and by authorities at Lvov, topped by a demand in the Lvov Pravda, organ of the local Communist Party, which stated: "The time has come finally to close the synagogue, which has become a shelter for idlers, speculators, parasites and money grabbers."
Last spring, the Sunday Telegraph reported, articles appeared in the controlled press of Lvov, linking the synagogue with "economic crimes." Pointing out that the local authorities were making of the Lvov Jews "a scapegoat in the campaign against economic offenses," the newspaper reported that letters from "honest workers" and from "disillusioned believers" were printed in the Lvov press as part of the drive to discredit the synagogue.
Later, several members of the synagogue's board of directors were arrested and charged with "profiteering and hooliganism." Finally, the local Pravda printed a slander to the effect that the "synagogue's saints are dividing the profits" allegedly resulting from their economic crimes. The demand for absolute closure of the house of worship ended the campaign.

Although many are talented athletes, NYGFL's membership is hardly made up of Chelsea models and personal trainers. They're every shape and size, from former NFL players to those like Shigeo Iwamiya, who show up at tryouts to have their football cherries summarily popped. Some people join and learn the game and the beauty of teamwork. Others learn patience.
Edmund Shockey, generally a first-round pick with a leadership role in defense, is no exception. "I've had to learn to temper my instructions in order to motivate rather than insult the newbies." He admits that can be a tricky balance, but he's learned far more as a Captain than he ever did as a player. "Games aren't won on talent alone … everyone has a key position that must be executed for a drive to be successful." The real challenge, he says, is to find ways to have people play to their strengths.
Giving BackNot surprisingly, NYGFL's roughly 300 players are very strong when it comes to charity and organize various fundraisers to help a number of organizations, including God's Love We Deliver, which provides and delivers meals to HIV-positive people unable to prepare their own, and the Gay, Lesbian and Straight Education Network (GLSEN; pronounced "glisten"), which strives to develop K-12 school climates in which every student can be valued and respected regardless of sexual orientation or gender identity. Most recently, they raised $7,000 for these organizations via a Bachelor/Bachelorette Auction.
Nicole Ryan, a 25-year-old facility rate analyst, was among the leaguers with a date on the block. She calls the experience one of the best of her rookie season, though she wanted to refuse when approached. "I knew I'd be nervous, but I heard that the last [auction] was a really great time and that all proceeds were going toward two charities, so I went for it!"
The event was held at a local bar, with a DJ spinning the participants' chosen songs as they strutted their stuff on the catwalk. Ryan's nerves—soothed by a quick drink beforehand—gave her no trouble. Each "lot" answered a question before the bidding started. Ryan was requested to reveal a sexy secret. She chose to play up a recent football-related hand injury.
"Don't let the fractured finger fool you, Ladies," she teased. "It's never a problem when it matters!" She followed it up with some theatrical tear-away sports pants and the crowd—male and female—ate it up. One lucky bidder spent $400 for a date.
Molly Lenore is proud of the league's community work and is hopeful they'll accomplish more despite her full-time job and role in several other local leagues. "I'm learning how to involve more people, to delegate," she jokes. "I don't want to be a roadblock. A number of different leagues around the country have done 'It Gets Better' videos. We'd like to do something for that."
Culture of Inclusion
Gridiron legend Joe Namath once called football "an honest game … a game about sharing." Beautiful sentiment. And kinda "gay," of course, but then he did have a profound fondness for fur coats and famously wore pantyhose. All jokes aside, to date only three NFL players in the sport's history have ever come out publicly. And even then, only after they'd retired their jerseys. NYGFL is, in many ways, the anti-NFL.
That's not to say they don't have fun with it. Shockey cites grossing out straight allies with graphic descriptions of man-on-man sex as particularly amusing, and one year Greenleaf's teammates roasted him during Awards Night with the "Top 10 Gayest Things" he'd said over the season (the list included phrases he'd used in football strategy, such as "running long and running deep" and "pounding the A-hole"). However at its core, says Lenore, the league was built around community and empowering the players. Simply put, the league has changed people's lives.
"Something that's become clear over the years," says Lenore, "is that a lot of gay men never really played team sports before. Especially football." She believes there are things people learn in the proverbial huddle they can't learn elsewhere. "You have an incredible amount of support here," she stresses. "It's not about how good you are. All that matters is your team and how you play together."
Go to the Videotape
Seth Greenleaf is among the changed. So much so, that's he's making a film about the league, Flag Football: The Movie. After a few attempts at a screenplay, he says, he realized no characters he'd invent could tell its story better than the players, so it became a documentary. He says this makes him feel more the project's protector than its creator.
"I truly love this league," he says. "It's made me a more accepting, patient, compassionate man…. When I came in, I thought sports were about winning. The league taught me how much more important everything else was." Even so, he thinks the fierce competition would be what surprises most people.
Having played in the straight football universe his entire life, it's easy for him to note the differences. "In the sports I played growing up, there's a lot of machismo, posturing and pecking orders…Most coaches are less interested in what makes someone tick than in beating them into line with everyone else. In some ways, it's why straight men can work so well and so quickly together—but it's also how they can work together for 10 years and know almost nothing about one another."
The trailer for Flag Football: The Movie.
For the Love of the Game
In the gay league, so many personalities can lead to strife and frustration—especially for leaders who need to keep it all together—but it also leads to very deep friendships. "You're watching adults learning things like teamwork and trust that normally come through team sports when you're young, but because many of these guys felt shunned, intimidated, even threatened by the sports culture, they didn't have the opportunities that guys like me take for granted."
To be around people experiencing this very primal, natural need for sports and team bonding, he says, is nothing less than extraordinary. "It's like an adult re-education program disguised as a football league." Greenleaf learned how to win growing up, but never how to enjoy it or live in the moment. NYGFL, he says, teaches both.
"[Gay men] can be every bit as tough, talented and masculine as any straight man, but they can also be loving, emotional and vulnerable in a way that straight men struggle with." He hopes more straight allies sign on. "They could learn a ton from these guys."
Post-Game Analysis
Shigeo Iwamiya is a poster boy for the movement. "This is someplace where I can belong and be myself," he says, "I know at the end of the day it's 'just football,' but to me it's been so much more. It has changed me from shy and self-deprecating into a more outgoing, self-confident person."
And so, with the spectacle of Super Bowl upon us—a television event whose audience is more than likely made up of 20 percent genuine fans and 80 percent beer-swilling commercial-watchers—it's nice to know that genuine "love of game" still exists.
"The professionals get paid and are icons in our culture that border on freaks of nature," says Shockey. "They presumably love the sport—or at least enjoy it—but grassroots is the act of creation. We form the league, elect leaders, spread the word, conduct the draft and design the plays."
"Why a gay league?" so many people ask.
"Why not a gay league!" he fires back. And the idea has emerged from its chrysalis with wings.
"The vision for young gay people has widened to include football along with children, marriage and military service," he says. "There's something bigger afoot. Gay flag football is a good reflection of this cultural shift."

Peter Kaplan, the former editor of the New York Observer who hired a then-unknown Candace Bushnell to write a column called "Sex and the City," died Nov. 29 in New York. He was 59.
He had cancer, said his wife, Lisa Chase.
Mr. Kaplan edited the Observer from 1994 to 2009. The salmon-colored weekly, which is widely read by the Manhattan-based movers and shakers it covers, has a reach beyond its circulation of about 50,000.
Mr. Kaplan was credited with honing the paper's snarky tone and with hiring writers who became influential voices of their era.
Bushnell's column about love and dating inspired the hit HBO series "Sex and the City," starring Sarah Jessica Parker.
"The more cancellations we got for her column," Mr. Kaplan wrote in New York magazine in 2011, "the more the paper knew we had hit the jackpot."
Other writers who worked under Mr. Kaplan at the Observer included Joe Conason, who is now editor in chief of the political Web site the National Memo; and Nikki Finke, who founded Deadline.com.
After leaving the Observer, Mr. Kaplan became the editorial creative director at Conde Nast Traveler. In 2010, he was named editorial director of the Fairchild Fashion Group, now Fairchild Fashion Media, a division of Conde Nast Publications.
But his role as a cultural arbiter was perhaps best exemplified by the creation of several fake Twitter personae in his honor, including Wise Kaplan, Cranky Kaplan and Real Kaplan. Wise Kaplan's profile identifies him as "New York Oracle."
Survivors include his wife; four children; and two brothers.

Ghana will be one of the eight sides competing for the 2013 African Under-17 Championship after edging South Africa in the final qualifier on Saturday.
The Black Starlets won 2-1 to complete back-to-back wins over the Amajinbos at the Essipong Stadium after winning the first leg 3-2 a fortnight ago.
Ghana, thus finished the two-leg tie on a 5-3 aggregate scoreline.
Emmanuel O. Boateng opened the scoring through a penalty under five minutes into the start of the game before Emmanuel Essigba doubled Ghana's lead midway into the half.
South Africa got a consolation in the second half but it was not enough to trouble the Black Starlets who now march to next year's finals in Morocco.
Ghana missed the previous Championship two years ago but coach Paa Kwesi Fabin will lead the Black Starlets, two-time World and African champions to the finals.

Woman suffers self-inflicted gunshot wound while defending her home
Grafton, ND (WDAY TV) - New information from Grafton Police reveals the woman shot during an attempted home invasion burglary Tuesday suffered an accidental self-inflicted gunshot wound while defending herself.
The victim, 48 year old Kristine Moberg would not go on camera, but says she is doing fine.
Moberg's daughter says her mother was on the phone when she saw someone trying to enter her home Wednesday morning.
She fired one gunshot at the intruder then accidentally discharged a second round, which pierced her leg.
The intruder left the scene on foot.
Police now say Moberg did not believe the suspect was armed.
Moberg was transferred to the hospital.
Police say they have a person of interest, but have not made an arrest.
Anthony Dumas/ Grafton Assistant Police Chief: "At this point we're not going to identify any information regarding him. We're still asking the public if anyone has any information or anybody witnessed anything to come forward and speak to law enforcement about it. "
Police say Molberg did not know the intruder.

One of many questions arising from the Deer Path Middle School sexting scandal is: Who submitted the Freedom of Information Act request to the Village of Gurnee in November of 2011 seeking information on a case that ended with a guilty plea in May of 2009?
The follow-up—and more important–question is: Why?
The answer to who was the first person to request the unredacted Steinert police report is Nancy Thorner of Lake Bluff, a blogger, senior citizen, prolific letter-to-the-editor writer and Liberty Leader with the Illinois Policy Institute, a non-partisan research organization. But Ms. Thorner said she did not tip the Chicago Tribune to the powder keg of information that arrived in her inbox on Nov. 10, a day after she submitted the FOIA request to Gurnee. She said she could not reveal the identity of the person who told her to look to Gurnee.
"I was amazed to find out the Tribune knew about this," she told GazeboNews on Sunday, Nov. 27. "That's the thing–it was not me (who told the paper). This is why I am completely amazed. I thought I was the only one who had the report, and that is why many people think it was me–but it wasn't. I am completely perplexed."
On Friday, Nov. 9, Ms. Thorner submitted a FOIA request to the Village of Gurnee for information pertaining to John Steinert from 2009 to the present. She was acting on a tip from someone who had mentioned a harassment complaint against Mr. Steinert and suggested that she might be able to find out more information about it from Gurnee.
"Before Gurnee would give it to me, they were very careful. Gurnee knew what they were sending out was very explosive," she said. She was surprised that she received the information within 24 hours of submitting the FOIA. In general, FOIA requests to government bodies can take at least five business days and sometimes the wait can go on for weeks.
The mostly unredacted police report (the name of the woman filing the complaint is blackened) details the complaint against Mr. Steinert and his guilty plea to harassment by electronic device, including his admitting to leaving sexually explicit voice mails and sending sexually explicit texts and a photo of his genitals to a 22-year-old Lake Forest College student he met at Deer Path Middle School in the spring of 2008 when she was an intern with the Lake Forest Police Department. The cell phone communications began after her internship ended.
The school district officially learned of the charges against Mr. Steinert on Jan. 23, 2009. On that day, according to the police report, Gurnee Police Officer Michael Mann and a Gurnee detective named Baumann went to Deer Path Middle School while a Gurnee deputy commander went to the District 67 administration offices on Waukegan Road to present Superintendent Harry Griffith with a copy of a search warrant for Mr. Steinert's school-issued cell phone.
The report states:
"Griffith advised he would accompany (the detective commander) to our location at Deerpath Middle School West to assist in retrieving the phone. At approximately 1015 hours, we met with Griffith in front of the school and proceeded inside. Griffith interrupted a meeting that Steinert was in, and I met with Steinert in his office. I advised him of the Search Warrant for a phone and I asked him if that was the phone issued to him. He advised it was and handed over the phone. I gave the phone to Detective Baumann for safekeeping and asked Steinert if he would be willing to speak with me. Steinert advised he would speak with me so he and I sat down at the conference table in his office. I advised Steinert that he was not under arrest and was free to stop speaking with me at any time."
The report does not state who was in the office at the time of the questioning other than Mr. Steinert and Officer Mann. Based on the report, it would seem that Detective Baumann was present. But in an interview with GazeboNews last week, Gurnee Deputy Cmdr. Jay Patrick said Officer Mann was alone with Mr. Steinert.

In the meeting in Mr. Steinert's office, Officer Mann presented color photos of the text messages that were on the former intern's phone and asked Mr. Steinert to initial each one indicating that it was a true and accurate reflection of what he sent to her. Mr. Steinert agreed and viewed and initialed each photo; he then completed a Written Statement Form, according to the police report.
Dr. Griffith and the Lake Forest District 67 Board of Education said they did not know the extent of the charges against Mr. Steinert because the police report that they FOIA'd in January of 2009, when the case was open, had been heavily redacted. They said they were unaware that an unredacted police report would be available to them after the case closed, and that they believed Mr. Steinert's contention that the communications were persistent flirtations.
Ms. Thorner said that within a few days after Gurnee provided the police report to her on Nov. 10, she shared it with two local friends and that together they were trying to figure out how to proceed with the information. They learned on Tuesday, Nov. 15, that the Tribune was working on a story based on the report, but she said neither she nor her friends tipped the newspaper, which broke the story on Wednesday, Nov. 16, igniting a media frenzy and community upheaval.

Roswell UFO piloted by Russian mutant midgets
The world famous Roswell 'incident' was no UFO but rather a Russian spacecraft with 'grotesque, child-size aviators' developed in human experiments by Nazi doctor and war criminal Josef Mengele, according to a theory floated by investigative journalist Annie Jacobsen.
Her book, Area 51: An Uncensored History of America's Top Secret Military Base, is about the secretive Nevada base called Area 51. One chapter offers the new Roswell theory, citing an anonymous source who says Joseph Stalin recruited Mengele and sent the craft into US air space in 1947 to spark public hysteria.
Like past theories, Jacobsen writes that the US government was involved in a cover-up of the UFO report, which has spawned space alien legend and turned this southern New Mexico town into a tourist attraction.
Bill Lyne, who self-published a book called Space Aliens from the Pentagon in 1993, agrees that the Roswell incident was faked, but he thinks the hoax was perpetrated by the US government - not the Russians.
"They're just saying what I've been saying all along, that it was a hoax," he told the Santa Fe New Mexican. "But that Mengele stuff is a bunch of hogwash because Mengele was recruited by the CIA (rather than the Russians), and he was actually brought to Albuquerque."
Clifford Clift of the Mutual UFO Network, or MUFON, in Greeley, Colorado, said he has not seen Jacobsen's book but has read other articles that suggest the Roswell incident involved German technology.
"After researching the claim, I found little truth in this theory," he said. "It is a stretch. One of my concerns is if they wanted to create panic, why in New Mexico and not New York where there are more people to panic? I would suggest it is another conspiracy theory and, heavens, MUFON knows about conspiracy theories. They do sell books."
Jacobsen, a contributing editor the Los Angeles Times magazine, told NPR that said she knows people will be sceptical.
"But I absolutely believe the veracity of my source, and I believe it was important that I put his information out there because it is the tip of a very big iceberg," Jacobsen said.

NEW YORK (Nov. 8)
Still baffled over the motives involved in the assassination of Rabbi Meir Kahane, police investigators are maintaining that Egyptian-born suspect El-Sayyid Nosair appears to have acted alone.
The 34-year-old Nosair, who after awakening from sedation was charged Wednesday with second-degree murder, attempted murder, assault, unlawful imprisonment and possession of weapons, has not yet entered a plea in response to the charges. He is to appear in Criminal Court next week for further proceedings.
The unusual arraignment took place before Criminal Court Judge Harvey Glasser in the intensive care unit of Bellevue Hospital, where the suspect, under tight surveillance by highly armed guards, is still recuperating from surgery.
During the arraignment Nosair, unable to speak because of a breathing tube inserted in his throat, wrote down what sources said they believed was a pre-arranged story asserting his innocence.
Hospital officials said Thursday evening that Nosair's condition had been upgraded from critical to fair and he was no longer connected to a breathing tube.
A New York employee, Nosair was involuntarily transferred on the day of the assassination and became agitated as a result, according to New York Newsday. "The same day he was transferred he got violent in the locker room," said one source.
A ranking police official suggested the attack on Kahane may have been spontaneous. "We interviewed co-workers, his wife, people at the mosque," Chief of Detectives Joseph Borelli said at a news conference Wednesday. "No one has indicated in any fashion that he had any dislike for or hated the rabbi."
Conducting a thorough search of Nosair's two-story house in Cliffside Park, N.J., the police found boxes of files and papers, along with a slab of sheetrock filled with bullet holes.
Though the files contained articles about firearms and explosives, the police did not feel there was evidence of any conspiracy to kill Kahane. The sheetrock was used for target practice, Borelli explained, adding that Nosair went to a rifle range regularly to practice shooting as a hobby.
A joint anti-terrorist task force of the New York Police Department and the Federal Bureau of Investigation has been established to uncover any possible links to the slaying, but so far, according to officials, nothing has been discovered.
Abdel Nosair, the father of the alleged assassin, claimed his son had no political interests. The suspect's American-born wife, Caren, told the police that her husband had been depressed lately. Nosair does not have a prior police record.
Chief Borelli said he did not think the apparent difficulty of the police in establishing motive would prove to be a major problem for prosecuting the case.
"We've got witnesses and we've got evidence," he said. "At this point it looks like he was a lone gunman who committed a murder. Why he did it we may never know."

Project description: Packaging wraps for various sizes and types of boutique cheese from the Over the Moon dairy company in New Zealand. The products are sold on-premise, in delicatessens and specialty stores throughout the country.
Solution: Over the Moon cheeses are new to the marketplace and needed to have immediate standout and cut-through in the refridgerators of the speciality delicatessens throughout New Zealand. Over the Moon took a contemporary hand crafted approach with a hint of motherly love and humour.
The packaging wraps are handwritten copies of the 'Hey Diddle Diddle' nursery rhyme in a white rough type on a black background. The writing is in pencil as a link to the logo but the look of the packaging takes on a blackboard feel to link with the delicatessens where the products are sold.

Food reps impressed by U.S. soy sustainability practices
Most U.S. soybean farmers know they employ sustainable farming methods, such as conservation tillage, cover crops and tactics that help minimize nutrient runoff. Now a group of representatives from global food companies know it, too.
The United Soybean Board (USB) and soy checkoff's Sustainability Initiative recently organized an educational series of U.S. farm tours through three states that showed five food-industry employees firsthand what U.S. soybean farmers do to keep improving their farm's sustainability performance. The companies represented included Kellogg's, Kraft, Sodexo and Unilever, which together use a total of about 3.5 billion pounds of soybean oil annually.
"As a food company, we're dependent upon the sustainability of farmers and want to promote their efforts," says Sherilyn Brodersen, Kraft Foods' sustainable agriculture lead for the Americas. "There are so many progressive measures farmers have taken, and I'll take that information back to my company, share those stories and help increase consumers' awareness."
The food industry remains by far the biggest user of U.S. soy oil, consuming more than 80 percent of it every year. And the importance the food industry and consumers place on using sustainably sourced ingredients continues to grow.
The program took participants to farms in three large and diverse soybean-producing states - Illinois, Iowa and Nebraska - and showed them a large array of farm-management practices used today. Participants learned about strip tilling, how technology can improve efficiency, methods to remove nutrients from runoff water and more.
"Many people don't realize how high of a priority U.S. farmers place on being good stewards of our resources," says Nebraska soybean farmer Mike Thede, team lead for the checkoff's Sustainability Initiative. "I think it's important to show people how common these practices are among farmers and how we're always looking to improve even more."
The 69 farmer-directors of USB oversee the investments of the soy checkoff to maximize profit opportunities for all U.S. soybean farmers. These volunteers invest and leverage checkoff funds to increase the value of U.S. soy meal and oil, to ensure U.S. soybean farmers and their customers have the freedom and infrastructure to operate, and to meet the needs of U.S. soy's customers. As stipulated in the federal Soybean Promotion, Research and Consumer Information Act, the USDA Agricultural Marketing Service has oversight responsibilities for USB and the soy checkoff.

Brecksville Reservation, Oak Grove Picnic Area
Brecksville, Ohio · Prices from $200 - $200
What we loved about this venue:
This picnic area has an amazing open shelter house that is surrounded by beautiful forests and a large open field. We were planning on having the ceremony in the field, but ending up having it in a forest clearing so that we would be in the shade. The shelter house is huge and has picnic tables that can seat 190 people. There is a large open area in the middle of the shelter that could also be used for the ceremony, especially if it's raining or muddy outdoors. And you're allowed to have alcohol, which is pretty rare at parks in Ohio!
Tips for working successfully with this site:
Book early! You can only reserve weekends and they tend to be booked pretty far in advance. I highly recommend visiting the site before the wedding to figure out everything you'll need to bring. The park rangers are very friendly and great at answering any questions you have.
The drawbacks of this venue were:
It's beautiful, but it's pretty rustic. There are only vault-type restrooms (which can be a little tricky in fancy clothing) and the only source of running water is a drinking fountain.
All information in the APW Vendor Directory is user submitted.
While we cannot guarantee accuracy, we make every effort to ensure factual correctness.

The NuManna Food Storage family has been concerned about preparedness and self-sufficiency for most of our lives. We had built a store of bulk supplies but wanted something easier, more flexible and tastier for our shelves. There were many options for easy-to-fix meals but most of them did not meet the high standards we had set for our home. It was important to avoid excessive chemicals and Genetically Modified ingredients. In summary, our family wanted something healthy as well as tasty, that was easy to store and prepare but good enough to eat now or in the future.
Unlike many other brands NuManna is a food company first. Secondly, we used superior blending, packaging and formulation to make it store long term. Today, we feel NuManna has accomplished our goal and undoubtedly has become a pioneer in the process. We are proud to offer some of the best long term storable meals you could buy at the greatest overall value.
NuManna packages have been put together based on the feedback of our great customers. The buckets have a low percentage of breakfast and zero sugary drink mix. The meals are put into 5 mm over-engineered bags and an oxygen absorber to ensure true 25+ year shelf life. Each bag is convenient and includes a resealable top. The buckets are high quality with a handle and easy-stack bottom. The NuManna difference is in the taste. Taste, quality, value, customer service and health are more than catch phrases with us. The formula is simple… First rate ingredients, master formulations and superior packaging creates the best storable food.
Please let us know how we can help, how we have surprised you and most certainly if we have disappointed you in any way. Your family's preparedness is our passion. Prepare Well with NuManna today.

Auto Hustle and Fashion World developer MetroGames are announcing a partnership with mobile developer Chillingo to develop new games for the iOS platform. MetroGames plans to kick off its iOS offerings with a game based its Facebook game, Pixel Ranger.
Speaking to ISG, MetroGames founder and CEO Damian Harburger says the new iOS game will be built entirely from the ground-up despite the shared intellectual property with the 2009 game. Harburger says the Facebook product would be left alone for the time being, as it's "too old" to do much without a complete reimagining. For other iOS games in its Chillingo partnership, MetroGames intends to create new IP specific to the platform. Previously, the developer experimented with ports of Plock and Typing Maniac.
On the Chillingo side, this is the first time the mobile games publisher has ever partnered with a social game developer. The publisher is best known for its top-selling games, Angry Birds (developed by Rovio), Cut the Rope (developed by ZeptoLab), and mostly recently Feed Me Oil (developed by HolyWaterGames). Chillingo was acquired by Electronic Arts in October 2010.
Levi Buchanan, Senior Manager of Developer Relations at Chillingo, says he expects MetroGames' to perform well on mobile, despite the developer's limited experience with the platform.
"They are great developers who've had extremely successful social games," Buchanan says. "I suspect it'll be a shallow learning curve [for their fans]. Folks who play social, folks who play mobile are already used to playing outside the previously defined borders of what is a video game."
As for monetization, MetroGames is still experimenting with what works best for its games on mobile. Pixel Ranger will be a one-time purchase app, but Harburger says MetroGames isn't averse to in-app purchases for future games or the idea of ad-supported free versions of its games. Once it masters the iOS platform, the developer will evaluate Android releases for the games it develops under Chillingo. Pixel Ranger is set to arrive on iOS "in the coming months."
On Facebook, MetroGames enjoys 7.7 million monthly active users and 982,000 daily active users on Facebook across all its games and apps. On iOS, Chillingo maintains several games in the top 10 paid apps.

The plane dipped up and then down like the Thunder Run roller coaster at Kentucky Kingdom. I pulled down the arm rest by the empty seat next to me so I could grip it tightly. Whatever happens will happen I told myself as I breathed deeply in and out. You are not driving the plane. You are not creating the winds. It is out of your control. The plane jittered and bounced as it hit the runway. Then it swerved slightly to left and right. If we crash into a ball of flames at the end of the runway, at least I'll have seen Europe. And then the plane stopped and there was silence broken by the sound of the whole plane applauding. "As you can tell, we have most definitely landed," the copilot announced over the intercom and finally I breathed out and was relieved to be back on the ground again in the US of A.
Any complaints I might have about spending 21 hours traveling are dampened by the knowledge that 100 […]

Continuing from where we left off yesterday, here are other possible causes I've thought of for my headache as well as things I'll probably try when I find the time and extra funds. Sorry if all this talk of headaches is giving those of you looking for weight-loss posts a headache, but this problem is affecting my life and my ability to live a healthy lifestyle, so I consider it relevant. Plus, it's my blog, so I get to do what I want to. Neener, neener!
SAD (Seasonal Affective Disorder)
There's no doubt that I get down when the weather is bad and winter in Indiana lasted about 20 years this season. I bought a special light to sit in front of for 10 minutes in the morning. It helped me feel a little less depressed, but my headache didn't go away. Also, we finally kidnapped the sun back from the southern hemisphere this month, so I don't think it's SAD.

Yesterday, I was all, "Hey, by the way, did I mention I've been in chronic pain for three months? I didn't? Whoopsies!" For those of you sneaking in your blog reading at work, I shall summarize: my head has hurt constantly since February 18th. I was going to list everything I've done or considered here, but it got insanely long. (I have a headache notebook now just so I can keep track of all the doctor contact information and record all the drugs I've introduced into my bloodstream.) So today I'll just cover treatments I've tried and tests I've taken. Tomorrow I'll go over other possible causes/treatments I've considered and am still considering. I'm leaving out some of the specifics because I have privacy concerns and I don't want anything to come back to bite me in the ass, even if I can't completely visualize how it might do so right now.
Over-the-counter painkillers
Like most people, I didn't immediately reach for the intravenous drugs, I reached for my medicine cabinet. During the first week […]

I've had the My Buddy jingle stuck in my head lately. It was a catchy song played during an ad for a doll sold in the 1980's. (As well as the gender opposite toy, Kid Sister.) Thanks to the wonders of YouTube you can watch it here:
The lyrics are:
My buddy (my buddy), my buddy (my buddy),
Wherever I go, he goes
My buddy (my buddy), my buddy (my buddy),
My buddy and me
Only I change the lyrics to:
My headache (my headache), my headache (my headache),
Wherever I go, it goes
My headache (my headache), my headache (my headache),
My headache and me
Remember that headache I had back in March? The one I thought had gone away? Well, it eased up for awhile there, but it never really went away. Which means I've been in pain 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, ever since February 18th, 2008. (I still have a scar from that monster zit too.) I ran my half-marathon with my headache. I went to my book release party with my headache. I appeared on TV with my […]

: You always have fascinating phrases, but sometimes I find myself wondering whether you've already looked up the meanings of all the unfamiliar words, and are just unsure how they fit into the sentence or phrase you've listed. For example, in #15, "on the prowl" is slang, but "for another vehicle he could steal" should probably be clear if you understand the individual words. It is indeed helpful for you to include as much context as you do, but perhaps it would help others understand exactly which parts you'd like assistance with if you would bracket them, as, for instance, "15.was [on the prowl] for another vehicle he could steal". Or, in #4, is your question about the phrase "raised the prospect"? In #8, the phrase "sprawled out"? The dictionary you're using might very well not include the word "fellatio", in #13--it's a sexual activity that's not usually discussed in polite society (which we here obviously are NOT), but you should be able to find a definition in any online dictionary.
: Please don't take these suggestions as criticisms of your postings; I'm only trying to clarify exactly which parts you do or do not already understand.
I really don't want to be a bother to anyone, but I like reading in English and if I come across a phrase I don't understand I feel frustrated, so I seek help here where I get a quick and an easy answers to my questions. Thank you again for your unlimited help.

Restricting Access to Books on the Internet: Some Unanticipated Effects of U.S. Copyright Legislation
One manifestation of the trend towards the strengthening of copyright protection that has been noticeable during the past two decades is the secular extension of the potential duration during which access to copyrightable materials remains legally restricted. Those restrictions carry clear implications for the current and prospective costs to readers seeking "on-line" availability of the affected content in digital form, via the Internet. This paper undertakes to quantify one aspect of these developments by providing readily understandable measures of the restrictive consequences of the successive modifications that were made in U.S. copyright laws during the second half of the twentieth century. Specifically, we present estimates of the past, present, and future number of copyrighted books belonging to different publication-date "cohorts" whose entry into the public domain (and consequent accessibility in scanned on-line form) will thereby have been postponed. In some instances these deferrals of access due to legislative extensions of the duration of copyright protection are found to reach surprisingly far into the future, and to arise from the effects of interactions among the successive changes in the law that generally have gone unnoticed.

I apply mascara last, after the whole face is done. I apply liner after the lipstick sometimes. Use blushes as an eyeshadow, lipsticks as a blush etc. And I am a major mixologist, I mix just about anything to come up with colors that I like, which is not so good if you have to sell cosmetics to someone, but great if you an artist.

I never know which brushes are supposed to be used for what, so I make that shit up most of the time.
I also like sponges more than brushes, which isn't a no-no as much as an unusual preference. I just don't like the brush lines and find sponges go on much more evenly and can be layered much more easily. I have bad combination skin though, so I've found sponges help both provide enough foundation to reduce dryness while also getting rid of excess oil. Using my fingers or a brush makes me feel super oily.
Oh, and not so much a rule, but I can't ever get my eyeliner even to save my life.

Most of the time I never wear mascara, shadow or liner under my eyes. I feel like anything under my eyes is aging but friends & family often say " you forgot mascara on the bottom".
Also not a makeup rule but a beauty rule- I always pick at (my own....& o.k waaaay too much info but my husbands too) spots. I know I shouldn't but it's compulsive

Forgive me Father, for I have sinned:
1. I don't always remove my makeup before bed.
2. I sometimes go for days without cleansing and/or moisturising.
3. I largely apply my makeup with my fingers.
4. I haven't cleaned my brushes for yonks.
5. I haven't cleaned my makeup bag for yonks.
I really do feel dirty writing this re my brushes and bags. Think I'll do a Xmas Eve clean.
Btw, this is only *my* personal makeup stuff. My professional kit is clean as a whistle and I take pride in it.

I'm a big fan of using eye pencils on the lips, and then a layer of clear gloss.

Not sure if this qualifies, but I often show up to jobs with no makeup on myself (& I'm no natural beauty)...not because I want to but because I'm always running around like a chicken with my head cut off right before a shoot...I do believe you should look the part & I'm making an effort to get better...it does make a difference

I never use the right brushes...I just pick a random brush for my makeup and if it works than I use it.
For example, I use the angle brush used for eye brows for my eyeliner.

Personally I didn't wear concealer or liquid foundation or use eye cream until this year. Not too big a deal, though I wish I had started proper makeup removal technique, eye cream, sunscreen, and not pickin in my teens dangit.
Using concealer for nude lips, blotted, with gloss.
Using eyeliner or lipliner with gloss and no lipstick (only way I've pulled off the ombre).
Using eyeshadow for lips, highlight, contour, brow powder, and anything else that strikes my fancy.
Blush as eyeshadow is a fave since I'm not able to yet invest in well pigmented and matte pinks, reds, and oranges and just nice for the continuity- throw it in a lip gloss too for for super monochromatic. People always comment on how natural and glowy its looks even if I'm packed to the gills in orangey bronze cheek, eye and lip. With no contrast they barely see the makeup. lol!
Blue eyeshadow all over-don't care. Makeup for certain coloring- its about the tones and warmth, not color groups. Any one can wear any color depending on shade selection and application.
Brown mascara as brow fill/gel, same pencils for lip, brow, eye, etc... Cream shadows as highlight, eye primer, lips, etc...
Snipped lashes on the bottom.
Using shadow with no liner on bottom always shocks people I'm helping at my counter. They go "It's soft and pretty and easy and I thought it would look like a black eye!"
Using my foundation brush with concealer or to clean up blended edges of a cat eye or a bottom lash mascara smudge. Angled brow brushes for liner. Concealer brushes for lips.
Thinning complexion product with toners, serums, and moisturizers.
No rules other than safety. I've even pushed that one personally- cleaning favorite mascara wands and putting them in a new tube (for my personal use only) and lipstick as shadow, lip liners as eye liners before I knew certain dyes on eyes could be harmful.
I could really go on and on. We must be a resourceful bunch!

Are you looking for a healing miracle in your life? Or do you know someone who is?
This book can be your prescription for God-given, bible-promised, ever-enduring health.
Pastor Nicky articulately asserts that God's will is for you to be healthy – spiritually, mentally, emotionally, and physically. In Christ, My Healer! he looks closely at what the bible says about Jesus' healing ministry and invites you to trust the authority of Christ's promises rather than focus on your doubts and feelings. He tackles the searching questions people often ask about healing:
By the time you turn the last page of this book, faith will be imparted to you to believe for your own healing or for the healing of someone you hold dear. God not only wants to heal you, but He wants to make you a channel of His healing power. Powerfully and practically, receive encouragement not only to start praying for yourself but for others, too – to see them healed!
Nicky S. Raiborde is known for his relevance and simplicity in communicating truth. His commitment to teach the uncompromised Word of God with visible demonstrations of the power of God helps to transform people and also empower them to the work of the ministry.
Nicky was raised in a pastoral home where his parents' spiritual instruction and impartation helped him to answer the call of God at the age of seventeen. In the brief decade since then, Nicky has traveled to over 48 countries and has preached at crusades of thousands, teaching in numerous churches in those nations. He has authored several books and lectures regularly at the School of Leadership in Singapore. Nicky continues to pursue the call of God to go to the nations with an apostolic mandate.

When I was feeling the most jaded about the status quo in Augusta, the citizens of my district elected a man who gave me hope.
Rep. Larry Dunphy, R-Embden, is no politician. He's not a smooth talker, nor is he in the pocket of special interest groups. He's not interested in making personal gains from his position.
Dunphy's got strong opinions and a strong set of ethics. He tells it like it is.
Dunphy's also interested in the facts; taking the time to listen to both sides of a debate before casting his vote — always with the goal of doing what's right for his constituents and the state of Maine — regardless of the pressures applied in the halls of the Capitol.
Maine needs more men like Dunphy. I intend to vote for his re-election.
I hope my neighbors in House District 88 will join me.

Dear Naomi, my 4 year old son has become very anxious over the past weeks for everything to remain in a certain order he sets up . He get's very upset if reality does not comply with his wishes. He tries to control me, other kids, our dogs, and gets angry and hits/yells/curses/bites me if I do not act as he wishes. We've been following Attachment Parenting and are unschooling, being as respectful as we can of his needs. We don't want to medically label him, but how can we find out what the real cause for his behavior is? Could it be hormonal, neurological? Validation is not helping anymore. Thank you for your time!
Dear Parent,
The heart of your question is: "… how can we find out what the real cause for his behavior is?" The answer is, by tuning into your child and really observing, free of preconceived ideas or expectations.
Without much more information, I can only guess and am unlikely to discover the cause fully or accurately. My guesses may be useful or totally unrelated, since I don't know your child or precisely how you parent.
It is possible that your son is yearning for more predictability in his life and maybe more leadership on your end. If you confuse freedom with license he would try to make up for it by bringing some rigidity into his life.
Another possibility is that something scared him to the point of needing to control his environment in order to feel safe. A child may be frightened by something that we, adults, hardly notice or think much about. Fear can also result from natural expansion in awareness. Make sure to connect with your child and to notice other changes in his outlook on himself and others. Are there any general changes that may have shaken his sense of continuity?
All medical labels are nothing but the failing attempt of "professionals" to define what they don't understand and to justify toxic and harmful medications. In a way, they are doing what your child is doing: clinging to order, names and ways to "grasp." So I am glad to know that you are staying away from these.
Validation is not intended to "work." It is not a manipulative device to stop the child's emotional expression. On the contrary, when the validation is accurately touching the child's feelings (without dramatizing or patronizing,) his crying will increase and be more healing.
Obviously, your child needs the cause of his anxiety to be addressed. If my general guesses lead you to an insight and a clear understanding, you may be able to support your child's direction. If this response leave you with no real solution, I highly recommend that you book yourself a phone session with me by registering on my site:
In a phone session I will ask you leading questions in order to know much more about your child and about his life. I can then guide you in finding the best ways to help him direct his own way out of inner conflict.
Warmly, Naomi Aldort, www.AuthenticParent.com
