Residents in two apartments are homeless, and a restaurant and bar has had to close temporarily for repairs due to a fire that started in a garbage can behind a downtown business Friday afternoon.
PLYMOUTH – Residents in two apartments are homeless, and a restaurant and bar has had to close temporarily for repairs due to a fire that started in a garbage can behind a downtown business Friday afternoon.
Martini's restaurant and bar will likely remain closed for two to three weeks after restoration crews deal with water damage, owner Joseph Perette said Monday.
"It's going to come back, but nicer. We're going to update it," Perette said, noting the restaurant will reopen with all the same employees.
A cigarette or cigarettes tossed in a garbage can may be the cause of the fire that spread up the rear wall of 50 Court St. and traveled into the roof, according to Fire Chief Ed Bradley.
Engines 1, 2 and 7 responded from these corresponding stations to a call at 1:52 p.m. Friday of a fire in the building, which is the location of Martini's as well as two second floor apartments.
Firefighters arrived to find two restaurant employees using a hose to extinguish a fire in a trash barrel behind the building, a fire that had spread from the barrel to the vinyl siding of the building, up the exterior wall and into the roof, Bradley said.
Firefighters attacked the fire from the outside and roof with the help of the tower truck, and from the inside of the building as well, pulling ceilings down and ripping walls apart to put out the blaze hidden beneath. Axes were employed on the roof and inside the building to gain access to the inner wall and ceiling casings to ensure the fire was extinguished.
"That's an older building that's been remodeled a few times," Bradley explained. "There are different layers of siding and roofing and walls. Eventually the sprinkler system was activated."
Bradley estimated the damage to the building hovers in the $150,000 range, but said that didn't include the contents of the structure. He noted that there was significant damage to the restaurant as well as to the two apartments above and the attic. Electricity and gas to the building had to be shut off. Service was still off as of Monday, but sprinklers had been restored.
The cause of the fire is under investigation, but Bradley offered a theory.
"It is an area where the staff comes outside to smoke a cigarette," Bradley said. "We found plenty of cigarette butts. It's probably how it caught fire."
According to assessors' records, the building dates to 1800 and is owned by 48-50 Court Street Trust with Erik Christensen listed as the trustee.

"Homophobes are all God's children"-
In response to Former Senator Alan Simpson attacking the 2012 GOP field as a bunch of homophobes, and further referring to gays as "all God's children".
Pat makes a great point. People who hold strong moral beliefs against strange sexual behavior are included in God's children.
No matter how much we're attacked in today's society.

We have a proven, 6-steps process we follow here at colorfluid to consistently make effective videos.
Discovery is where we go over the details of the project, our process, how we do things and find out what the client is looking for. This is vital to making sure we deliver exactly what the client wants and sets a flow for the duration of the project
At this stage, there are two options. The client can decide to provide us with a script or on the other hand, the client can request we develop a script for them. In the first case, we work with the client to fine-tune their script and make it align with the message they wish to pass to their audience. In the second case we develop a script from scratch based on our understanding of the clients business and their challenges. We send over draft versions to the client for review and feedback. we work front and back with the client till the final script is confirmed.
The approved script is sent over to one of our voice-over artists for recording. The recording is done to client specification with respect to language, accent, gender, style, pace and any other details the client requests
The storyboard gives the client an idea of what the final video will look and feel like. It consists of still images that accompany the script. It provides and overview of the style and direction of the video.
This is where the magic happens. In production, we bring everything to live. Characters, environments, sound effects, background music, and all the ingredients that go into producing our super videos
Your project is complete! Your video is ready to share with your potential customers in any number of ways. We will provide you with several file formats and we will show you how to embed your video on your website and into emails.

That was a crazy game of shanghai.
This is Sarah shuffling. She is an expert in shuffling. I often think about how if I were an inmate in a prison, and all I had was a piano, I could become a Chopin or a Beethoven. I think Sarah was born with shuffling talent, though. She's been better than me since we were five feet tall. So this whole discussion about cells and prisons is sort of stupid.
If you don't count the last two rounds, I won. Hehe.

SOURCE: power steering fluid leak (1999 grand am gt)
sounds like a high pressure hose or rack and pinion would have to get underneath and take a good look at it while someone starts it and turns the whell all the way to tyhe left or right and hold it there till you see the leak

SOURCE: power steering fluid leaks
if you take and pressure wash the motor capartment out at a car wash and then have a friend turn your steering wheel back and forth while you look ant the hoses you should see if the hoses have a small leak now never use your hand to check for a leak becuse the power steering systme is a hydralic system and if there is a pin hole and your hand is there the fluid can actually pierce the skin and rip off flesh but you should be able to see the leak just dont grab the hoses while the car is running.
hope this is usefull for you. and please rate my solutions
thank you

How much are you adding every 2-3 days? The fluid has to be going some were, to me it sounds like your rack and pinion is gone. I would take your vehicle into a mechanic some were that you trust and have it check out. Having it up on the hoist will be easy to fine the problem. Like I said it could be the rack or maybe there is a small hole in on of the lines. Now the price it could be from 200 - 600 depends on were you go to have it fix. Hope this helps.

Add animation and interactivity
Craft sophisticated, professional animations that can be rendered as FLV files for your website. Or import your entire composition into Adobe Flash Professional, where you can add interactivity.
Responsive 64-bit performance:
· Work effectively on high-resolution projects — even at 32-bit-per-channel color in HD, 2K, and 4K compositions. See longer previews using all system RAM. Spend less time waiting and more time creating with smart disk caching.
Global Performance Cache:
· Create more in less time, even in high-resolution projects. This revolution "under the hood" makes After Effects fast and responsive by taking full advantage of your computer's hardware.
· Avid AAF and FCP 7 XML file import with Pro Import AE
· Import and work with files created in Apple Final Cut Pro 7 or earlier versions, as well as Avid Media Composer and Symphony, letting you integrate After Effects with professional production workflows.
Multiprocessor and multicore support:
· Render and preview faster by taking advantage of your computer's power. After Effects uses multiple processor cores to calculate complex effects and to render multiple frames simultaneously.
Real-time, high-fidelity OpenGL support:
· Work with speed and precision using OpenGL, which enhances the display of blending modes, motion blur, anti-aliasing, track mattes, high-quality shadows, and transparency and accelerates the rendering of common effects.
Coordinated RAM allocation:
· Coordinate RAM usage across multiple Adobe Creative Suite® Production Premium components with unified memory management. Make the most of your system resources without learning complex memory management settings.
Layer and composition proxies:
· Prerender time-consuming compositions and assign them as proxies without changing the structure of your project. Temporarily replace large source comps with lower resolution versions to speed up work.
Variable mask feathering:
· Create a separate set of splines to precisely control mask feathering. Get the exact shape you want with the proper degree of softness at any point along the mask edge, resulting in a big boost to creative flexibility.
Roto Brush:
· Isolate foreground elements from backgrounds in a fraction of the time it would otherwise take using this revolutionary tool.
Unlimited masks:
· Control which parts of a 2D or 3D layer are visible by adding and animating a virtually unlimited number of masks on any layer. Individually control their feather and transparency.
· Use Academy Award–winning Keylight from The Foundry to create mattes of green screen and blue screen footage, even for difficult situations such as reflections, semitransparency, and hair.
Mask animations:
· Animate the shape of masks over time as well as their parameters, such as feather and opacity.
Imported masks:
· Copy paths in Adobe Photoshop and Illustrator software and paste them as masks in After Effects. Use the Shape effect to import masks tracked in mocha for After Effects CS6 from Imagineer Systems Ltd.
RotoBezier masks:
· Create RotoBezier masks from scratch or convert them from Bezier masks.
Track mattes:
· Use any layer's pixel data (alpha channel or luminance) to determine the visibility of an adjacent layer.
Combined masks:
· Combine masks using Add, Subtract, Intersect, and Difference modes.
Specialized keying effects:
· Employ Difference, Color Range, Color Key, Linear Color Key, Extract, and Luma Key effects as needed for a specific job.
Mask interpolation:
· Control mask transitions when mask points don't transition properly to replicate natural motion.
Spill Suppressor:
· Remove unwanted color spill from any footage quickly and easily.
Color Difference Key:
· Replicate the method used to key color footage on many landmark films with the Color Difference Key.
Matte Choker and Simple Choker:
· Spread or choke the selection area of any alpha channel with a subpixel level of control.
Inner/Outer Key:
· Derive a key from border pixels that you select by creating a rough mask around the edges of an object.
Refine matte effect:
· Apply intelligent edge tracking, dechattering, and motion blurring capabilities to any layer with a problematic alpha channel, such as keyed footage.
· Produce animated vector masks automatically from any layer's pixel data, including alpha channels.
3D Camera Tracker:
· Track 3D elements with complete control over depth of field, shadows, and reflections. Automatically analyze and place 3D track points onto 2D footage in the background while you work.
Ray-traced, extruded text and shapes:
· Extrude fully ray-traced text and shapes natively and take full advantage of reflections, environment maps, and more.
2D and 3D element combination:
· Work in 2D or 3D, or freely combine 2D and 3D elements in the same composition without having to change modes or redo your work. Default cameras and lights let you add dimension to a layer with no additional setup.
3D camera data import:
· Import 3D camera and other 3D data from any 3D tracking software that can export Autodesk Maya ASCII (MA) files. Extract camera information from an RLA/RPF sequence. Export After Effects camera data via third-party scripts.
Multiple 3D cameras per composition:
· Cut between multiple cameras in the same composition. Define unique cameras by angle of view, lens length, image area size, aperture, depth-of-field blur, and a host of other keyframable parameters.
3D lights and cameras:
· Work in 3D space using tools including Camera Lens Blur; light falloff; 3D camera data input; multiple 3D cameras per composition; and the ability to keyframe x, y, and z values separately.
· Multiple 3D lights with shadows
· Add multiple lights to a scene and animate them. Choose from different light types, set their color, and define their shadow darkness and diffusion individually.
Material options for each 3D layer:
· Define how each 3D layer in a scene responds to lights, including control over size and intensity of the specular highlight.
· Work with parent and child layers. A child layer inherits all transformations applied to the parent, including anchor point, while maintaining its own local animation.
Stencil, Silhouette, Preserve Transparency:
· Define individual layers to cut out all the layers below. Or have layers above honor the transparency of layers underneath.
Adjustment lights:
· Set a 3D light to illuminate a subset of layers in a composition.
Projection layers and colored shadows:
· Project light through a layer to create colored shadows, stained-glass effects, and the look of projected slides.
Nested compositions:
· Use a complex composition as a single-layer source. Feed multiple compositions into one, or use a single source comp multiple times, so that upstream changes ripple throughout a project. Easily navigate through nested comps.
Unified Camera tool:
· Take advantage of three-button mice for more intuitive, immediate 3D control with the Unified Camera tool. Keyboard shortcuts make it easy to look at all or selected layers.
Adjustment layers:
· Create adjustment layers, similar to those in Photoshop, to apply effects to any layers that appear below them.
Collapse Transformations:
· Combine the transform properties of nested compositions with higher level comps to reduce the number of times the pixels of a layer are processed, preserving their fidelity.
Timeline editing tools:
· Easily add and extract content from the timeline in your compositions using basic editing tools, such as Overlay and Ripple Insert Edit; Lift, Extract, and Trim Comp to Work Area.
3ds Max and Cinema 4D support:
· Get bidirectional support for the transfer of cameras, lights, null objects, plane objects and solids, footage, blend modes, opacity, and effects. Iterate more effectively and reduce rework.
Intuitive text creation and animation:
· Type, edit, and customize characters, words, and paragraphs. Animate text along a path, randomize or wiggle text, and more in 2D or 3D space. Add depth to your text by casting shadows and moving, rotating, or blurring.
Shape layers:
· Create and animate vector graphics easily with shape layers. Add properties such as stroke, stroke type, fill, and gradients to shapes and animate those properties.
Web-ready text animations:
· Export animated text as vector-based SWF files to create innovative, web-friendly animations.
Text conversion to shapes or masks:
· Convert text into editable paths — either as shape layers or masks on solids — so you can animate the individual vertices of each character.
Continuous rasterization:
· Maintain sharpness at any scale by setting Illustrator artwork, text, shapes, solid layers, and vector components of PDF and SWF files to be continuously rasterized.
Solid layers:
· Create simple solid shapes that can have effects applied and that can be masked and animated.
Shape path operators:
· Modify and animate hand-drawn or parametric shapes by applying shape effects, including Merge Paths, Offset Paths, Pucker & Bloat, Repeater, Round Corners, Trim Paths, Twist, Wiggle Paths, Wiggle Transform, and Zig Zag.
Creative text animation tools:
· Typeset text professionally and then set it in motion. Use more than 250 professional 2D and 3D text animation presets, or create custom text animations from scratch.
New and updated effects:
· Enhance your creativity with 90 new and updated built-in effects, including the complete 16- and 32-bit CycoreFX HD suite.
Color-correction effects:
· Edit color with a wide variety of effects, including Color Finesse 3 LE to create LUTs, Photoshop based color-correction and tinting tools, access to broadcast colors and gamma/pedestal/gain, and tools to isolate/change hues.
Camera Lens Blur:
· Create soft-focus effects with Camera Lens Blur. Set iris shape, blade curvature, and diffraction fringe characteristics for beautiful bokeh. Use these settings for depth-of-field control with the After Effects 3D camera.
Stereoscopic 3D workflow:
· Animate and composite stereoscopic projects easily. Quickly set up stereo camera rigs. Save time with simplified rendering of multiple cameras, and work with an updated 3D Glasses effect.
Blur and Sharpen effects:
· Create blur effects customized to the needs of the shot, including compound and edge-preserving "smart" blurs, as well as standard sharpening effects.
Distortion effects:
· Warp and distort footage with effects like Liquify, Bezier Warp, Wave Warp, Corner Pin, Reshape, and Displacement Map and with the unique Puppet tool. Simulate real camera lens distortion.
Generation effects:
· Generate imagery ranging from simple fills and gradients to realistic lightning bolts and electricity, as well as lens flares, strokes, grids, circles, scribbled lines, and animated graphics based on audio.
Stylized effects:
· Enhance existing imagery, ranging from subtle textures and hot-looking glows to stylized edges, brush strokes, and other effects. A dedicated Cartoon effect gives live footage the look of cel animation quickly and easily.
Simulation effects:
· Use advanced plug-ins to generate realistic wave reflection and caustic effects as well as to break up 2D layers into 3D pieces, which can then be exploded or further manipulated.
3D channel effects:
· Perform 3D post-processing of RLA and RPF files, extracting Object and ID Matte channels and normals and adding Depth Matte, Depth of Field, and Fog 3D effects.
Channel effects:
· Manipulate the individual color and alpha channel information of your images, including borrowing channels from other layers and performing advanced operations to combine channels or create grayscale images.
Perspective effects:
· Add shadows, bevel the outline of a layer, and even create a single 3D image by combining a left and right 3D view.
Noise and grain management effects:
· Match camera grain perfectly, automatically, and with full manual control, or remove it from footage entirely. Add or eliminate dust and scratches.
Time effects:
· Process footage based on other layers or adjacent frames using Time Difference, Displacement, and Echo effects. Timewarp offers extra control over the built-in Pixel Motion for precise retiming of footage.
Text effects:

· Slow down and speed up footage with smooth, crisp results and minimal artifacts. Timewarp analyzes pixel motion to create more accurate in-between frames with user-adjustable parameters.
Roving keyframes:
· Separate the Position path from the time it takes to move from one point to another.
Subpixel positioning:
· Enable the position of each object to be calculated to finer than 1/65,536th of a pixel for extremely smooth motion.
Frame blending modes:
· Choose between traditional Frame Mix and intelligent Pixel Motion modes to create new intermediate frames in speed-shifted footage.
Time displacement:
· Use the luminance of one layer to control the timing of individual pixels in another layer.
Motion Sketch and Smoother:
· Quickly draw an animation path for any layer and set its velocity with Motion Sketch; then fine-tune the shape and speed of the path with the Smoother. Integrates with the Puppet tool to create natural animation.
· Specify an auto-orientation option for each layer. Layers and cameras can easily auto-orient along 2D or 3D motion paths. 3D layers can also auto-orient toward the camera.
Puppet tool:
· Use the Puppet tool to animate text or images naturally with organic, pin-based deformations.
Independent x, y, and z keyframe values:
· Separate bundled x, y, and z value keyframes into their own curves that can be edited individually. Also recombine these streams back into standard bundled keyframes.
JavaScript-based expressions:
· Link the behavior of a property to that of another to easily create dynamic relationships, using the convenient pick whip or mathematical expressions. Simulate physical behavior realistically with minimal need for keyframes.
Multiple keyframe interpolation types:
· Animate motion or properties quickly and easily for smooth and elegant eases; linear paths; or sudden, stepped motion. Edit velocity and ease interactively in the Graph Editor or numerically.
Exponential Scale:

Thanks for the report. I am seeing the same issue with email notifications -- we are still looking into this, as well as the threads not always appearing in the correct issue (this is a cache expiration issue).

tmortonthis is a cache expiration issue
We'd cache related issue on Older UI too. Don't we have solution for cache related issue?

Today we did an exercise till lunch to find out what our technical and theoretical problems were for our projects and how to solve them then after lunch we carried on with our project development I then finished 2 pages in my bestiary one was Vervain and the other was Symptoms of Lycanthropy.
Reflective Entry 10 [27/04/2017]
Today I set a target to complete two pages which I did, we also did an exercise to find out what everyone wanted tutorials on and I got feedback that I should do some of the pages in different styles to look like the writer changes environments and how with some pages look more rushed than others which I touched on with my latest page using a brush fineliner.
Reflective Entry 9 [26/04/2017]
Today I finished of the drawing and started of the annotations for the Mountain Ash Tree and will carry on to do that later on tonight, the reason I have not done that much work with my final product because we did a research exercise for the majority of the lesson to help us with peer feedback and doing research in general. I think I managed my time well in this lesson considering we spent the majority of the lesson doing a research exercise which I think was really beneficial to me because it helped me find ways to gather more in depth research in a shorter period of time.
Reflective Entry 8 [30/03]
Today we created a timetable to follow in the holidays and further on, I also made survey and got 24 people to do the survey which will help with all my research and I have researched some more creatures and started reading the book I have referenced.
Group Crit Reflection [27/03]
Today we merged classes with the other creative media class and got into groups of 4, we all said our ideas one after the other and gave each other feedback on it, I got loads of good feedback saying that my idea is amazing and what its based on makes the game even more interesting but I also got some not so good feedback, Brodie said that I should base the classes more of things out of Folklore and less of fantasy based classes and then I got some really crucial feedback of Kenneth and Will saying that I need to manage my time really well because I have a large project, I really think that if I don't manage my time well enough there is a chance that I wont finish my project to the standard I want too.
Reflective Entry 7 [23/03]
Today I didn't manage to do much project development because for the first 3 sessions of the day we did workshops/tutorials to help us manage our work/time properly and also help us decide how hard we want to work which in the end will decide our grade but I did get to block out my second character and research a creature but I will make up for the time lost when I get home and will carry on research and sketches there.
Reflective Entry 6 [20/03]
Today I finished of the research for the Creatures in class but I will be still researching them outside of class to build up my bestiary, I researched Fenrir the Norse Worlf, the Irish Werewolf and a Gargoyle these creatures are some of the more unknown folklore which also impacts my project positively by teaching people some of the more unknown folklore we don't really understand. I finally started sketching the first character which is going to be in the Witch Doctor class and wrote up all the backstory and made a mood board for the inspirations I used to create the sketch, on Wednesday I will start refining and improving the sketch and finally get into finishing the first character. I think I managed my time really well today being able to research a few creatures and start my first character.
Reflective Entry 5 [16/03]
Today I set myself 3 targets and accomplished all three of them in time. My first target was to research 2 creatures from 9:00am to 10:30am which was El Cuco and the Voodoo Zombie, then my next target was to do the same thing but from 10:45am to 12:15pm which I accomplished and them two creatures were the Black Shuck and Cerebus and finally my last target was to research 3 creatures which were the Leshy, Dhampir and the Dullahan I accomplished this in the time I gave myself which was 2:45pm to 5:00pm. In total today I have researched 5 creatures which is good progress because I have to research at least 60 creatures within this project, I am doing a 100 day challenge which started yesterday [15/03] and that is to research at least one folklore creature a day but I always end up researching more, this challenge end at June the 24th, this will greatly affect my research and will help my project massively.
Reflective Entry 4 [13/03]
Today I finished my research for my Wendigo which includes a full origin story, mood board, features of the creature and a brief summary. I have been given feedback of Ben on my Proposal & Statement of Intent and corrected everything he asked me to. I have 1 more creatures to finish research for today which is an Upir, which I will upload to here tonight. I also got some positive feedback of Adam which I think will really benefit my game, he said " You should add a evolution feature to my game, so say I summon a card called Undead Sorcerer then evolve it using Dark Points when killed enough enemies with it, then it will evolve to Demi Lich then eventually turn into Arch Lich." I think this is an amazing idea because it is something that is very uncommon in card games and I think it would be good to add something new to the card game base theme.

Tomorrow Daily
Turn our TV into a touchscreen? We're listening... (Tomorrow Daily 224)Ashley and Khail investigate the Touchjet Wave and its goal of turning your TV into a huge touchscreen, discuss an action camera that automatically edits your footage for you and pine for a personal vehicle you can fit in your backpack. #TDWave
On today's show, a personal transport device is gonna turn anywhere into a moving sidewalk. A little gadget that's gonna turn your tv into a giant iPad. And brand new goPro device that's going to do all the editing for you. Oh, I like that. Can it edit this show? No one can edit this show. Smart daily. [MUSIC] Greetings, citizens of the internet. Welcome to Tomorrow Daily, the best news talk show in the know universe. I'm Ashley Esqueda, that's Khail Anonymous, we're your friendly tour guides for this episode today. We're tour guides. We don't have name tags. I hope you remember which one is which All right, are you ready to talk about headlines? Yes. All right, let's do it. [MUSIC] Have you ever sat on your couch and thought to yourself, you're sitting on your couch watching TV and you're just like, I wish that I could get up and walk to my TV and touch it and make it a touch Yea, there's a lot of pretty ladies out there. [LAUGH] Okay, fair enough, right. I didn't think of it that way but I'll buy it. So we're going to talk about TouchJet Wave. So this is a very interesting little device that I caught on IndieGoGo this morning. Again, it's crowdfunding and we didn't do background [UNKNOWN] on Monday because we weren't here, so I decided let's just talk about it now. It actually makes your television, your 20 to 80 inch television, so most televisions, a touchscreen. And here's how they do it. So it's an Android-powered device that actually mounts on the top of your TV, and almost looks like a little art light, the ones that shine down on a piece of art to light it up. Kinda looks like that. And it is fully Android powered. It's running KitKat. It's running 4., Android 4.4 KitKat. And there are infrared sensors inside that sort of arm that goes over the TV that can detect four points of touch. So four inputs. Works on TVs like I said. From 20 to 80 inches. It has a custom touch UI but you can load any Android app. So any Android app you can find in Google Play Store, you can load that right onto that device. Cuz again, there's an actual computer chip in there. It's not just like a thing that then your TV has to be compatible with. That does everything for the touch screen. Wow. And you can load android apps on it. Makes it easy yeah. So maybe you're going I don't want a bunch of people touching my television. Fine they have a stylus that comes with it. Yep. And also if you're really, really lazy and you don't actually want to get up but you want to run android apps on your television there's a mobile app. That can be used as a remote and it works on iOS. So, if you have an iPhone at home and you're thinking, oh it's Android, like I can't. No, Touchjet will have an iOS app available as well, Cool. To control. But, it's pretty awesome. Like, I thought this is really interesting. The price is pretty reasonable. I was kind of surprised at that. Obviously, Alot of use for this is business, but they did show people like doing Fruit Ninja. Yeah. And games and also Youtube videos. You could scrub through. More importantly, MInecraft. Minecraft, of course. So, yeah. They want $100,000. They probably will have it by the time this show publishes. If not cuz they're pretty close. When checked before I left for the studio, it was 96k. Yeah, but how much was it for the device? If you buy it within the first 48 hours, they have 500 of them for $99 bucks. What?! Yeah. 99 bucks. I was gonna say like, $300. It's only $99, so the first 48 hours, that's their 48 hour early bird, and then, if you miss that, it's 119. So, it's only 10 bucks more. So, not bad at all. Really reasonable. Yea, that's not bad for something you can just mess around with. It's Like [CROSSTALK]. Like me. $300, you'd have to have a good sense of what you wanted it for. [CROSSTALK] Right. Like I needed this for my office. But 119, you'd just be like book. All right. I can **** around with it. I can show friends. Sometimes maybe I'll find an actual use for it. You could just This could be like a good Christmas gift. Wow, this is good right on. So I thought it was really interesting, you can control it from your couch, like I said, just remember, if you're lazy. There's a part of me that I'm watching the video and I'm thinking I don't ever want to get up off my couch and touch my television, like there's no time, but I did after watching the video was like well okay where there's some app that maybe for example, if I'm like using an app to show my husband like, we're looking for houses. Yeah, I was about to say there was a guy using AirBnB if you don't know that's You can do BnB at other people's houses, but I could be like. All right. We're going to Joshua Tree. Let's take a look at the map and, oh. This one's good. Yeah. See? There it is. This one's good. I like this location. That's too expensive and you can show images. Like, yeah, that's cool. Right. And, that's cool and you can throw video. And from your device. Directly to. Oh my god, I gotta get that. When are they sending it? Next year, in February. So, not terribly far out. But yeah, it's called the touch jet wave. That's the name of it. And it works for that TV. [SOUND] You just have to have an extra HDMI port available cuz you have to plug it in. Or maybe USB, I forget which one it is. But yeah, it's super easy. Yeah. Like plug and play, they're like there's no extra. You don't plug in and install software anything like that. Well here's another really cool kind of invention that's coming around. Can we do the hashtag of the day? Oh you wanna do your hashtag of the day? No, absolutely not. So here's the invention- So the hashtag of the day is #TDWAVE. I'm just curious as to what else in your everyday life want to make touch enabled. What's a thing in your life that you would want to be able to add touch capabilities to. It can be silly. My pants. Pants touch capability? [INAUDIBLE] Pants. You can change the color? You tap them in certain places? No. I mean, they would stay red. They would always stay red. Right. But I could unlock my house just by going. [NOISE] Oh, I like that. Something like that, or play Kesha and rub my thigh. Speaker inside? Right. Yeah. I can come up with a whole bunch of different ones. If I double kick my legs I like that. Okay. See, now it's not touch anymore, but you get the idea. Gesture enabled. Gesture, and I'll order some pizza every time I double kick. I like that. Okay. I would do my car and I would want to change the pink color depending on my mood. Just tap the car. That is a really good idea. I really like that. Yeah. Totally useless for everybody else but me, but I would enjoy it. Feed and wave, so if you have some ideas for that. But. So lets move on to this new thing. It's not really new because it's basically a goPro but it's not goPro. So it's like a new competitor. a challenger it's great it has 4k time lapse ability. It's Graava. This video is great by the way if you ever have a chance to check it out. This guy is hilarious. 1080 P video 4K time lapse. Small camera, lots of mount options. But, what he's showing off right now, is that this camera can edit your videos. And how it does it, is it kind of reacts to your motion. You see how its got that like Like a little, you know. Got a little chart here, a flowchart. Right. And it's basically based on your heart rate and how you react to videos. And what it'll, to the things around you. So when you see something interesting and you laugh, it'll put that as a high point. Interesting. So then when you're done at the end of the day you're like. Make me a five minute video of what I recorded. It'll take all those high moments when you had an emotion, and edit it together, to one video, all the cool things you saw. I mean it's pretty cool. Not everybody has enough time to plop down all their HD footage. I see. There's a guy walking across. That's an interesting, point of interest in the recording. So I'm going to take that And I'm gonna use it in this edit. Right. Okay. That's awesome. So if you like see a bunch of bees fly by you all of a sudden, you're gonna scare and it's gonna edit that whole part in. Wow. Or if you see a couple kiss and you think it's really adorable and your heart beats faster. It'll record that. I'm picking really bad options, but you see where I'm going with this. But I [UNKNOWN] okay, so this guy's like, all right, so I'm driving around, or it's like if you're making a time lapse video. Okay, so this is an example of what it can do. Yeah, and if you hit a deer- This is edited by the camera. If you hit a deer. Again, another bad option, but you get the idea. It's a pretty cool feature. You can just have the footage raw, but this is an option that it has. Yeah, it's pretty cool. It also works with your, that's another great feature. It works with your phone. You can upload straight from your device to your phone. You can tell it next time you dock to edit the upload a video. That's perfect. It's great. It's very easy to use. [INAUDIBLE] [UNKNOWN] above Go Pro, I mean Go Pro's got a crazy amount of features. Yea. But this one tries to make it more user friendly, and streamlined, and everything. So, how much are you going to pay for that? Yea, how much? 249, 249 coming out next year That's pretty good. in February along with your touchscreen. Aw, man, so we're a long ways off from Grava. .>> It's cool. The Grava, you can grab one next year. Really like that actually. Nice to see some different options out there. It reminds of in Google photos, they now do auto awesome. If you take a bunch of pictures and upload them from a trip, they'll make it into a little video for you that you can share with people. And it'll automatically do like Ken Burns like photo moves and stuff. But that's great because there are people and [UNKNOWN] does this too on their phones. They have the ability to video to cut it into a little highlights reel. [UNKNOWN] Highlights. And this is fantastic because so many times like how many times have you been at an event or you've gone somewhere, you shot a bunch of video, you took a bunch of pictures and then you're just like You just leave it. It like, uploads to the Cloud and it's locked to the ether, and you're just like, well I don't really have time to edit this, but I want to. Imagine you're surfing and you just turned the GoPro on and then at the end you're like, well, I want all the times I caught a wave. of course your heart's going to be beating faster. You gotta go through. And it'll edit them all together. [CROSSTALK] Pretty awesome. I like that a lot. That's pretty cool. That is pretty, pretty cool. Pretty amazing. Okay, so last thing and then I promise we will move forth, go forth with the show I want this. It's called Walkcar. This is like, product day on Tomorrow Daily, I like, found a bunch of stuff that I want. This is Walkcar. Look how thin that is, it looks like it's a little laptop, no, it's a personal portable travel device that goes around 6.2 miles per hour. You get on top of it, it supports up to 265 pounds And it works a lot like the air board that you see Justin Bieber riding around on. Yeah. You shift your weight and it moves based on your weight. It can go up to, I believe, almost seven miles on one single charge and I think it takes about three hours to fully charge all the way which is pretty cool and also, I mean, it's tiny and fits in a backpack, that I think I like the best. It's not going to be cheap. This guy looks stupid. Anyway, go ahead. This is a prototype device developed in Japan. The guy who developed it said there's nothing really like this thus far and he said usually you see. Oh, I thought he was going to fall down the stairs. That would have been terrible. I'm sorry. So and usually you see like the US designed something and then it's innovated on by other countries like I wanted to show Japan could be innovative and I made this thing. So now he wants to kick start it. It's gonna be a kickstarter in the fall. Look at this guy just pushing a cart up the hill. I like this better than the stupid Justin Bieber one that all the rappers have right now. I do too. It looks a little bit sleeker. Like it looks, it's subtle. They're all stupid. They're all really dumb. I hate Device. Do you hate it? I just don't see a reason for these devices. Is it a little too Wall-E for you? I guess maybe, if a security guard had one like Paul Blart Mall Cop, but with those things. Paul Blart Mall Cop 3. That could be. He could be on a walk car. But, yeah. I think that technology. Logan agrees with me, right? Yeah, absolutely. It's going to be a really bad addition to humanity because it's going to make people lazy. To wally And it's going to yea, I don't get it. Every Wok car comes with a cupcake in a cup for free. Can you imagine if you went to a grocery store or you went to Disneyland and everyone is just wheeling around it would be so annoying, People can't even drive let alone do this. Yea, that's true. I wouldn't mind having it though in lieu of a bike. Like to go to, I have a little shopping center right around the corner from the house. And it's like I feel like a jerk when I drive there, but then I also don't have a bike. So I'm just like well, I would like to have one of these and I could just zip over there to get some lunch and come back, like that would be cool. Cause it's a little bit less time than walking. With a bike, for me, I get really scared I'm gonna get hit by a car every time. So I put on a helmet. I gotta put on the knee pads. I gotta put on my elbow pads. I gotta get on my bike clothes, gotta get the whole thing going. That takes a long time. Again, a very first world problem. Totally first world problem. And just really Stupid. I'm sorry, if you own one of these I hate you. Well, it's a prototype. It's gonna be maybe on Kickstarter later this year. If you want one, estimated cost about 800 bucks. So, maybe donate that money to charity. [CROSSTALK] Buy some roller blades. Those are cool. [LAUGH] I have roller blades, wow. I could use roller blades. That's even more dangerous than the bicycle. [CROSSTALK] Well no, I can't actually use, like I have them, but I can't actually use them. We've talked about this way too long. I hate these things, so move on. All right. So, we're going to take a quick break, but before we do, check out this relax [UNKNOWN] lovely drum footage from Australia. We'll be right back. It's Tomorrow Daily. [SOUND] [MUSIC] Welcome back to the show. We've returned. Khail would you say you're more of a cat person? Yeah definitely. Yeah. You're definitely more of a cat person. Like I'm not super proud of it but I love cats. I have the perfect Mod Squad for you. You're gonna mod a cat? Yes. Let's talk about it. [MUSIC] Okay we're gonna discuss Benjamin Millam and his cat Monkey. All right, I don't know why you'd name a cat Monkey but fine, we'll accept that. We'll move on. We'll get past that. You know sometimes your looking at your cat and you're just like you're so lazy, why don't you do something around here. Around here, like sometimes I wonder that about our pet, my pet. I'm like can't you just wash a dish or like just work, do anything. Like I feed you, I give you everything you want, do something. Well he decided, Benjamin decided to do something about that and so he with an arduino device he made an arduino add on for his cat food feeder. And the arch in the device has an RFID reader and so he put a funnel there and took a bunch of wiffle balls and put RFID tags inside them and then trained his cat to find the wiffle balls and put them inside the funnel and then it feeds him. So he has to work for his food. I love it. You got work. He's got to work for his dinner. That cat is so adorable. I know and so smart. Do you like how when he put the ball in, he still wanted to play with it? He was like, no wait wait wait wait, let me play with this a little first. Well that's great. Cat's can learn, it just takes forever. He has to train him in different stages to get the cat to be able to understand what exactly was happening but now he says that he's able to hide these wiffle balls all over his apartment and the cat spends his days looking for them. Probably cause he's starving to death cause he's not eating nearly as much. But no, he goes around and he finds a bunch of balls, and he takes them right over the container, drops them in, gets the food. Great. Super cool. Super fun mod squad. I think he should market this and he should sell it to cat people. Using cardboard as a desk? It's a speaker box. I noticed that too. Oh my oh my God. [CROSSTALK] Oh okay, no, no, no see it's not a desk, he just keeps storing it. Okay, it's all right. So yeah, look [CROSSTALK] He hates doing this. He's like I got it, I got it, I got it. Look, I got it. I'm gonna go get a snack now. Okay, one more time. Let's see it. So we'll go back- Where am I? Hi, I'm looking at the cat. [CROSSTALK] I gotta figure out okay. I got my location, walking over to the weird thing that my human put down next to my food that I can deposit this in the bank of wiffle balls and now I get food. So there you go that's how he does it. It's pretty cool. Very cool. All our [UNKNOWN] power. It's amazing what people can think up, but he to kind of hack his cat's brain. Like get him to do that. Train him to do that. Poor thing. Pretty amazing. So nice work Ben and monkey. More monkey I mean you trained your cat. Alright let's talk about user feedback. I guess we already discussed the sad face that the universe is slowly giving up. What a weird title for that video you gave. [INAUDIBLE] What? The video? Oh. Emo. .. what did you call it? Oh, emo universe slowly giving up on life, starts wearing more black holes. Wait it said it starts wearing more black holes? Yeah, a lot. That was a social media post because I didn't have enough space on the headline this year. Oh my God. Come on! All it said was emo universe and I was like, "What?" Slowly giving up on life started listening to Dashboard Confessionals. So we asked you guys to think up tombstones [UNKNOWN] for the universe because it is slowly dying in a trillion years. Who know maybe it will use one of yours. Pin said "Wait, turn us back on! Answer to life, universe and everything is not 42. One of the signs the equation is wrong." Gayle wrote in and said 100 Trillion years old. Taken from us too early. So long, and thanks for all the fish. [LAUGH] That's two Hitchhiker's Guide to the Universe references. Two references. Okay. All right. James Sent us this lovely Photoshop and said here lies the universe. Since it was ever expanding, everyone expected one thing it should be handling to cut them some slack. Yet it's final response said it all faded to black. Black. So that was good. Wow. Yeah very intense poem, very intense poem. Matt wrote in, accomplishments with the Universe awesomistic, awesomistic, yeah, awesomistic dying after all this hype, Pluto not a planet. So he wrote on the tombstone here lies the awesomistic universe. Rest in Plutotes. Aww. Nice. He's taking it personal. Will wrote in "here lies the universe. We had one job. Clearly it was too much for us. " I think the universe had one job, to stay around and it's not going to so you could say, you had one job universe. I think that we could just leave it at that. Yeah. You had one job, that's it. Alright guys we got to talk about our very last few Cesar feedback which is always our phonetographer of the day. [MUSIC] Alright so we talked about our phone [UNKNOWN], which we'll get to in a second, but Van wrote in to us. Van says, hello. This is a picture of my dog Lucky. Hello. I am a dog. In Massachusetts. It was such a nice day out, and Lucky had a blast on the beach. This is taken on my Galaxy S6 Edge. So he's got the Edge. She's got the little wrap around but look at that dog? Look at that selfie? That dog took a great selfie. That is a dog selfie if I've ever seen one. Vam, I don't believe you took this picture. I'm gonna need permission from your dog, Lucky, to use it on the show. So you have to email us and say, I am a dog. I am writing this email and I give you permission to use my selfie on Tomorrow Today. I like the lighthouse in the background. Like that dog has some really serious photography skills.

The Federal Bureau of Investigation has filed a criminal complaint against a woman from Southgate. The suspect was charged for allegedly posing as a CIA agent. According to reports, she was trying to become her niece's foster parent.
Impostor CIA Agent: Suzanne Nicole Bucki's Crime
According to the complaint, Suzanne Nicole Bucki in January provided certain documents to the Guiding Harbor Foster Care in Belleville. The documents stated that she worked for the Central Intelligence Agency. Reports stated that the papers contained earning statements as well as a CIA badge and a CIA emblem. Furthermore, the documents had a photo ID of the Southgate resident's Concealed Pistol License, as per the complaint.
WXYZ reported that Bucki was also accused of submitting a form of verification allegedly signed by the director of the CIA, John O'Brennan. When the form reached the CIA in late January, the agency stated it was unable to process the request. This was because it has no record of Bucki in its database.
The niece was living under Bucki's care. During that time, the police was sent to their home for interrogation. At this point, Bucki again told the cops that she worked for the Central Intelligence Agency. According to officials, the woman soon confessed that she conjured the story to gain custody of her niece. Police also discovered a marijuana plantation in the house, according to court papers.
As it turned out, Rachel, her sister and the mother of the child, lived at Bucki's given address. "I had no idea. My mother had no idea," she stated.
Impostor CIA Agent: Police's Version
According to police reports, Bucki had been telling foster home officials that she was an employee at the CIA. She also stated that she was a member of the Russian ballet group and that she spoke 26 languages. Furthermore, Bucki mentioned that she made $46,000 every month.
"I do know she has a high IQ. She's very intelligent," Belleville Police Chief Hal Berriman stated. "I've had numerous conversations with her and she has always been very articulate." The chief of police added that his department went to investigate the case a week after Bucki was given custody of the girl, according to FOX 2 Detroit.

Brookelyn's Second Birthday
Her vocabulary is increasing everyday. Some of her new favorite words are; carwash, coming (everything is coming with us, cup coming, blanky coming, me coming, daddy coming, etc.), me, me, me, me, wite back (be right back), alright, boo mamma, hep (help), yite on (light on), and did I mention me.
Here are some pictures from her party.
Here she is blowing out the candles.
A picture of the kiddos.
The cake: Brookelyn loves Tinkerbell right now, so she got a Tinkerbell cake.
Fingers in the cake before we could even get a picture.
Another picture of Brookelyn and her cute little friends.

Which 35mm adapter is right?
I have been lurking ard here n learnt a lot about 35mm adapters. Now the burning question is,there r so many adapters around,which r the better ones for HC1? These r the few I have seen
1. Guerilla 35 (prototype but US$1000)
2. Redrock Micro M2 (US$500)
3. Formatt Matte (UK150)
4. Letus35 (US$300)
Seems like all of em were designed for the larger cameras like Sony FX1. I wonder if it will work well for HC1. Besides that, is it true that using such adapters will result in a reversed image on the screen? They looks kinda tough to handle. Is that why I some of the rigs have additional TFT screens to flip the image to the correct orientation?

yes, the image is flipped and flopped (also known as a 180 degree rotation), thats why people use external monitors to view the images upright.
i know that the redrock M2 will work with pretty much any camera. it most likely will work for the HC-1, im not sure if its been tested or not yet. i can't speak for the other adapters.

That would mean the 180 deg rotation has be edited in the NLE rite? I gotta check how Vegas can do that..shouldnt be a prob I think.
Yes I'm looking at the Redrock as well.I'm just wondering about some comments I saw at Guerilla forum claiming that this device can lead to some ghosting..

I did not test the MPIC (the fifth choice) on HC1 but the 1/3" CMOS is the same as DVX100A (3x1/3"CCD). I can only guess the lens design covers about the same range, so it should work fine.
Here is a frame from footage (Z1):

From what I gather, Dan's adapter and the G35 seem like the two best. But we shall see soon enough. They both seem to have good light transmission, no "ghosting," excellent form factors, sharp resolution, and good achromats (is Dan even using an achromat?). I have to admit, microwax is my favorite, so I'm probably going to go with the G35. (Microwax produces a beautiful "organic" gamma curve in addition to rich colors and sharp resoution, but it also means a static adapter so there may be grain.) The M2 looks okay, but the bulkiness, motion artifacts, and ghosting seem to rule it out for my purposes, although others may prefer it for its low light capabilities. The L35 has a great design but the macro lens on it is a piece of junk. I know; I use one of the same brand.
Here's an image from the "beta" version of my home built microwax adapter:
I could probably mass produce and sell these (with better image quality than is visible here--sharper edges and less vignetting) for about $70 each. Then again, they're built out of PVC pipe....
And no, that's not "static grain" it's "my dvx produces so much noise when set to outdoors white balance" grain.

The image you posted (as well as others originated from microwaxed screens) is indeed gorgeous. I have made my experiments here using quite a few different types of screens (not microwax but POC which is very close) and I have learned to love them all. (only sin is a bit of vigneting)
Each one can be used on a certain light "scheme" (contrast, low ight, etc) and THIS is the very reason I have gone through hell to make it in such way so one can change the screens in MPIC to suit the light. A refinement (I dare to say) as it always happens with "labour of love" (and no, I do not use an achromat, although I bought one from Century (what a fine piece of glass!... luve it!)

Dan, I totally agree about different screens producing different results. I like the slightly thicker ones (like I'm using) since they seem to increase dynamic range, but they do so at the cost of needing quite a bit more light. Multiple screens would indeed be a pretty great feature, if you could pull it off.

Hey, Sean. Welcome to the forum! A Formatte Matte (box) is not a 35mm adapter. It's just what you said it is, a matte box made by Bogen.
Just a little FYI.

Matthew, how do the thicker ones increase dynamic range? Or do you mean they don't wash out shadows as easily (like the glass ones do), and thus better replicate the range that is out there? To increase dynamic range, either the brights would have to be subdued and/or the shadows would have to get lighter -- all without losing detail. If the thicker wax is somehow doing this, I'd love to know!
As for gamma curve, is this subjective or have you made measurements?
It seems that in the footage from my own wax-adapter-in-progress, the highlights don't blow out like I'd expect them to, and I'm not sure why. The shadows do stay dark, which is nice. Is that what you're referring to? Is it really possible that wax can subdue highlights without darkening midtones and shadows as well? If you are right, then they have an even greater advantage than I'd imagined. Not only are they solving the DOF weakness of video, but also addressing the comparative lack of exposure latitude.
Like you, I'm a big fan of the wax adapters, but am confused by your statements.
Dan, I find your site a little confusing to navigate. Do you mind me asking if you've tested your non-achromat adapter on cameras with 70mm or larger lenses? Are they using macro extensions, then? Is your system exclusively SLR-GG-Video then?
Thanks to you both,

Replaced the valve seats??? That doesn't sound right. How about the valve guides and seals. Verify what was actually done. If the head was recently refreshed that is good!
The Merc 2.6L and 3.0L in line sixes of that era (called M103) have timing chains, which are generally trouble free if the oil is changed within the manufacturer's recommendations. These engines are torque shy, but love to rev, and are smooth as silk. Check the engine for oil leaks particularly at the front and right rear. Also check for any coolant seepage at the head/block interface, and check that the climate control system operates properly.
Check that the engine has a steady idle speed in drive and neutral. These engines tend to have high emissions, so if emission tests are required in your area inspect the latest emission test report and any history you can come up with.
The 190E (W201 chassis)is essentially a 7/8 scale version of the 300E (W124 chassis). IMO it is probably the best looking and proportioned small sedan ever buiit. It has about the same front seat room as the W124, but a smaller back seat and trunk; 190s are basically good cars, but like most Mercs they are complicated, and problems with systems like the KE fuel injection system and climate control can be expensive and exasperating.
For the mileage the asking price is reasonable if the car is a "cream puff".

Mavericks look to remain hot vs. sizzling Celtics
The Dallas Mavericks are surging again but they face an even hotter team Monday night with the Boston Celtics coming to American Airlines Center.
The Mavericks (22-32) are in the mix for the last playoff spot in the Western Conference. Winning 11 of its last 16 games has given Dallas hope that the season will continue beyond game No. 82.
The Mavericks, hoping to finish off a 3-1 homestand, have shown a surprising amount of fight lately.
"That's who we are," Wesley Matthews said. "We got dealt a tough hand to start the season with injuries, rotational stuff, and trying to find our identity. Once we found that and we started getting healthy again I think we were able to show what we're capable of being.
"We're going to keep fighting. That's one thing about us, we're going to keep throwing punches and we're going to keep fighting. We believe."
The Celtics (35-19) have much bigger fish to fry, with their sights set on defending champion Cleveland atop the East standings. Boston is 9-1 since Jan. 25, including Saturday night's 112-104 win at West contender Utah.
The Celtics shot a season-high 59.2 percent against the Jazz, who are third in the league in field-goal percentage defense. All-Star Isaiah Thomas scored 29, and Kelly Olynyk added 19 points and seven rebounds off the bench.
Boston's second unit had 50 points — it's second-highest total this season — despite two starters (Jae Crowder and Avery Bradley) being out. Their absences didn't hurt the bench production.
"It's just our next-man-up mentality," Thomas said. "When we get in the game we don't even look at the guys that are out because we don't feel sorry for ourselves, and we know that other teams aren't going to feel sorry for us."
Gerald Green was one of the reserve standouts with 16 points on 7-of-8 shooting. James Young (10 points) helped fill the void when Marcus Smart left the game with a leg cramp.
"The thing that James and Gerald give you right away is that they're able to space the floor and shoot," Boston coach Brad Stevens said. "And that opens the floor for other guys."
Crowder is expected back against Dallas, where he started his career, after missing two games due to a family matter. Bradley (sore Achilles) didn't make the road trip.
The Mavericks welcomed back starter Deron Williams from a toe injury in Saturday's 112-80 rout of Orlando, though Williams is questionable for this one with an illness.
"It's huge to have Deron back," second-year swingman Justin Anderson said. "He did a terrific job with the pace. With Yogi (Ferrell) coming off the bench with that bounce and that energy that's tough for teams to handle.
"I'm just glad that we're starting to figure it out and there's no better time to do it. Hopefully we have two great showings in these next two games before (the All-Star break)."
