Boil down your favorite image looks into a Style or Preset
First of all let's clear up what the difference is between a Style and a Preset. It's very simple!
Preset – An adjustment from a single tool, which can be saved for easy recall and application to any image. An easy example could be a particular Curve.
Style – A multitude of adjustments from several tools, which come together to create a Style. An easy example could be a Curve, a Color Balance adjustment and a Film Grain application.
Presets can be stacked together if you want to build a look in that way too. You can in fact stack a Style on top of another one(!). Check out how. This is not something I personally do as then I believe it gets confusing, but more on that later.
Presets and Styles can also be applied during Capture and Import. This is a very useful additional feature.
Creating a Preset
It's a very simple process to create a Preset. Simply go to the tool you want to create a Preset for, adjust the tool and then save it.
For example on some of my landscape images I like to have more Clarity and Structure. So in this example I have set the values accordingly:
Then it is a simple case of using the tool contextual menu to save it as a Preset:
You will be prompted for a name, so call it something recognizable. This Preset will then be available on any other image from the same menu in the tool. Hovering over the Preset also gives you a preview of what it will look like. This is very handy if you are comparing different Presets:
Presets can be recalled from the Styles and Presets tool. More on that later.
Creating a Style
A Style is a very similar concept except it allows you to save and control more than one tool adjustment.
Let's continue on with the same landscape image and add a few more touches that I could conceive might be general starting points for other landscape images. But it's important to note that no Style is set in stone, once applied it can always be adjusted further.
I have reduced saturation a little, added a simple Curve and some minor adjustments to the 3-way Color Balance tool. Now, some of the adjustments might not be suitable for other images, for example Levels adjustments. The beauty of saving a Style is that you can pick and choose what elements on the current image will be included in the Style, omitting the ones that won't be suitable.
Styles can be created in the Styles and Presets tool. By default this sits in the Adjustments tool tab.
To save a Style, click on the plus icon in the tool:
The subsequent menu lets you pick and choose what current adjustments should be saved into the style. I have collapsed some of the menu items, which contain no adjustments at all to save a bit of space here:
If we scan down this list, a few things would not make sense to save in the Style. For example, Exposure compensation, Levels and Rotation. Therefore we simply have to uncheck them and then click Save:
Think of a name for your Style and Save it:
Now this Style can be applied on any image:
Remember, you can always use these as starting points for further adjustments. I also tend to normalize Exposure and White balance before attempting to apply them.
As I mentioned earlier on in this post, you can also recall Presets from this tool as well.
Here it could be useful to choose a bunch of Presets on an image. Note that the 'Stack Styles' option is checked which allows us to stack Styles and Presets.
I personally don't stack Styles together but building a look from different Presets can be a useful exercise!
If you want to experiment with some existing Styles, there are a number included already in Capture One. Look in the Built-in Styles section of the library and try them out! There are also a few third party companies that sell some Capture One Styles to try.
Don't forget that you can also apply Styles and Presets on import and also during a tethered Capture Session.
In the Import Dialog, look in the Adjustments section…
I personally use this to apply a Metadata Preset to all images on import…..Like Name, Address, Copyright information, etc. Just save this as a Preset in the Metadata tool.
During tethered capture, a Style can be applied on each shot as chosen in the Next Capture Adjustments tool:
I hope you can see that saving different Styles can be a fun way to experiment with the various tools in Capture One, or a way to achieve consistent looks over a variety of images.
As I mentioned earlier, you can't always expect different images to behave the same way with a certain Style. The final result will also be influenced by the image content. So use your Styles as a good starting point to develop further from or use them to accelerate workflow by applying a number of adjustments that you know you will do by default.

I use C1 for a long time ( now I use third 'big' version).
I've mentioned that few times, but I'll say it again:
Hiding preset/styles in sub/sub menu make this feature totally un-useful. Take a look at LR – one clik, and preset applied. In C1 you have to click ones, than track to sub menu, than find your preset and click again. Meybe if somebody prepare 1 image per hour , it makes no difference, but I think that most people produce more images in 1 hour, and it makes difference. Second issue is with copying and applying settings from one image to another : Crop and rotation properties are the less common used setting to being same from one image to another, and user can not define as default to not apply them. Each copy/apply user has to open sub menu and unclick those settings. Is it so hard to listen to users and make this great engine more usefull and ergonomic?
I whole-heartedly agree with Maciej. The preset styles menu system in Capture One is absurd. There needs to be a quicker and more direct way to access presets, especially for digital techs who are trying to apply a particular preset during a shoot.
Absolutely agree here with you! I've got used to apply adjustments before I do crop or other "individual" changes, but you forget it easily and get series of crops from portrait to landscape (lol) or local spots of healed sensor dust etc … sometimes it happen unnoticed and I realize it only at the end working in Photoshop – oh dear! It is still a long way for C1 to go before it's usability is superior to LR without exception. Admitted, the pros are already now outweigh the contras and I am fascinated by it's possibilities.
I think Maciej has a point here…
It's particular annoying to have to click yourself through several "Sub"-menues to reach the desired style only to cover half of your image with the opening windows.
Otherwise for me it's a great tool, esp with the very vintage-looking film-styles.
In addition to the valid points above, there's another major problem with the presets: applying them at Importing.
My problem as a case in point: I've created a preset for Base Characteristics to apply the Canon EOS-5D MkII Generic ICC profile and the Film Extra Shadow curve. For this discussion, let's call said preset '5D2-Extra'. Doing the described sub-menu operation applies it. All well till this point. However, when I select that same preset under Adjustments in the Import dialog box, it NEVER gets applied. ALL the imported images are set to Generic and Auto. I have to manually do the sub-menu selection for one image and then Ctrl-Shift-C to copy, deselect it, select all the rest, and Ctrl-Shift-X to paste. ANNOYING and time consuming. It doesn't end there: if I were to select all the images and do the sub-menu routine to select '5D2-Extra' one of two things happen: 1) the preset is applied only to the active image (yes, all others are selected and the 'Edit all selected variants' button in the toolbox IS highlighted), or 2) the preset is indeed applied but it takes such a long time (as in minutes) that I begin to think the application has crashed.
Furthermore, as I was documenting this, I selected an image that had the '5D2-Extra' previously applied and switched it to another preset I have, 'Linear Render' (ICC: Generic; Curve: Linear). The operation went smooth, but when I tried switching again to '5D2-Extra', upon selecting it from the list, only the Curve was applied: the ICC profile remained stuck in Generic (!!). What gives?
This problem has been consistent throughout all versions of C1P I've used (from 7.x to 8.2).
I don't use Styles and Presets much although I do tend to work on a batch of images using a copy of one image and applying to the next – often including rotation information – frequently "re-setting" the basic adjustments as I work through a shoot.
However this approach is driven by necessity since most of my shoots are outdoors over extended periods using whatever light there is and it changes frequently. Almost everything is shot hand held or effectively hand held so most images as a degree or so off vertical/horizontal.
The thing is that NOT copy a rotation adjustment might be the right things to do for me BUT many images will need some adjustment – so in effect neither copy or not copying actually work to my advantage.
On balance the best compromise of to copy and adjust. Sometimes no extra adjustment is required for a block of images – the previous settings work well enough for my needs.
As for having to open sub-menus to access the Styles and presets – you can, up to a point, reorganise them. Perhaps just put them all in a single folder and reduce the drill down requirements.
With a Floating Styles and Presets tool you would only need to open the first window, select Styles or Presets and then at the next level have the list of Styles available to you.
Hovering the cursor over a name will show the results without overlying too much screen space. Even better of you are able to work with 2 screens.
Careful naming (or re-naming) of the Styles would allow you to "Group" them as if they were in folders if you feel that would be a convenient way to display them.
Do these suggestions offer any immediate ideas for improvement of your workflows?
Thank you Grant for your answer.
Unfortunately it doesn't help in my case.
Most of my shots (80%) are correctly croped/rotated right from camera. But when I copy adjustments from rotaded/croped to nex one, each time I have to go to adjustment list menu and uncheck crop/rotation. For each 100-200 shots pack I dont have even 2 which requires same croping/rotation.
And about styles : I have them all in same folder, to make the 'path' shorter, but it doesn't help too much. I work on 2 monitors, but I'm not able to have opened a list of styles/preset in side window, so I could apply them with one-click (like in LightRoom). I just don't understand, why, thru 3 big version, no one listen to users feedback and this is still not reorganized/changed. I know a lot of people, who doesn't use styles/presets becouse this sub-menu structure.
I totally agree… The current interface with its menus and submenus is not practical. I have even made myself a palette with Keyboaes Maestro to be able to access directly the few styles that I use the most…
It would be great to have all styles and presets in a list or two in a separate palette/window!
Hi! Do you mind elaborating on how you did this? I checked out the software and it looks awesome. How do you use it with c1 and styles? Thanks!
Sorry, typo… I meant "Keyboard Maestro"!
Would love to be able to play with presets, but like others above, they are just not practical with the UI choices in Capture One. It's actually a little surprising, as it seems pretty obvious. I actually bought some a while back, and just couldn't make them a part of my workflow. It's a shame, as it would make Capture One a potential single solution for editing large sets of images.
Brian 100% agree with you. It's just ignorance I believe, that cause this issue. I've asked support several times, and I've posted many comments about this problem, and always the same answer: This is only 2 clicks, than 2-3 (precise) hovers, than 1 click again. Simple as that… ;-) For me its just ignorance for profesional customers…

Niti Taylor, who was last seen as Mannat Khurana in Ishqbaaaz (Star Plus), is in a state of shock as she got to know about the suicide of one of her young fans.
The incident prompted Niti Taylor to write an elaborate post to her followers, encouraging them to open up and speak to someone about their personal issues.
Now, this what Niti wrote on her Instagram post:
"I woke up with a heavy heart this morning for someone I don't know in person but was my fan. I was shocked to hear of an amazing young girl who ended her own life. There are a lot of sad people around us and we can't turn away. My heart dropped this morning after reading that this very young girl just hung herself. But being sad without action helps no one. I am a believer in action.
I know this world isn't easy, we all go through something, everyone's struggle is different. Everyone can't understand us. You don't want to die, you just want the pain to go away. But please understand - No, you aren't alone. Yes, we all feel this way sometimes. No, you won't always feel like this. Yes, the world is a better place with you in it.
If someone listens, or stretches out a hand, or whispers a word of encouragement, or attempts to understand a lonely person, extraordinary things begin to happen.
You're alive for a reason so don't ever give up. Believe in yourself and all that you are. Know that there is something inside you that is greater than any obstacle. Place your hand over your heart, can you feel it? That is called purpose. Because if you kill yourself, you're also going to kill the people who love you.
I am taking this platform to tell my loved ones, that if you're going through something, and you're not okay, you don't feel alright - I am there for you. Just a call or DM away. I will try my level best to comfort you. But sometimes just talking to someone, makes it much lighter."
I must say, this girl has her heart in the right place.

The Nissan Leaf is a go. In fact, until next year, it's gone.
Three months before Nissan anticipated closing the books on reservations for initial United States deliveries of the all-electric Leaf, the company said this week that it would not accept any more reservations this year.
"Nissan had anticipated reaching its stated target of 20,000 reservations at the time of the first United States Nissan Leaf delivery, in December," read a press release. "This achievement comes three months ahead of schedule."
Steven Oldham, a Nissan spokesman, said the next phase of reserving a Leaf would start in 2011. Prospective buyers can check out www.nissanusa.com for more details.
Sales of the Leaf begin at year's end in California, Oregon, Washington, Arizona and Tennessee. In January 2011, sales begin in Texas and Hawaii, and go nationwide by the end of 2011.
People who have already reserved one of the $33,000 Leafs — and it is expected that not all of them will take delivery of the zero-emissions car — will be contacted as the cars are released. "Orders have been prioritized based on market timing and when consumers submitted their original reservations online and paid their refundable $99 reservation fee," Nissan said.
The reservation list opened in April, when Nissan had originally posted a target of 25,000 reservations.
On Oct. 1, Nissan will roll out a tour in some markets to offer consumers test-drives of the Leaf. The tour continues into March; dates and locations are here.
General Motors' Chevrolet Volt is also due to go on sale by the end of this year, and Toyota has said it plans to offer a plug-in Prius model in the United States. Toyota has 600 Prius plug-ins in demonstration fleets worldwide, including 163 in the United States, the company says.

On the 1-2d of June 2012 Belarusian Association ŌĆ£Country EscapeŌĆØ has held a non-traditional event ŌĆō ŌĆśCreative Green Tourism LaboratoryŌĆÖ. The event was held in terms of AGORA 2.0 project ŌĆśHeritage tourism for increased BSR identityŌĆÖ (http://www.agora2-tourism.net), supported by the Baltic Sea Region Program 2007-2013.
The event appeared to be really creative. People were involved in ŌĆśgreenŌĆÖ animation: forest mythological creatures surrounded participants and addressed them with questions and predictions. Local ŌĆśgentlemenŌĆÖ were fighting with each other because of accusing each other of hunting in Naliboky forest. And only by chance both of them survived.
The ŌĆśLaboratoryŌĆÖ had two parts ŌĆō theoretical and so called ŌĆśfield missionŌĆÖ. The first day included discussion and exchange of experience about innovative approaches in green tourism, ŌĆśgreenŌĆÖ tourism products and greenways. The field mission guided the participants towards a Greenway ŌĆśVolozhinskiye gostsintsyŌĆÖ where they could get acquainted with various ŌĆśgreenŌĆÖ tourism products included in the route ŌĆō the farmstead ŌĆśLand of beesŌĆÖ, ecomuseums of old instruments, ecomuseum ŌĆśBrama u NalibokiŌĆÖ (Gateway to Naliboki forest), ecoroute in Naliboki forest.
ŌĆśCreative Green Tourism LaboratoryŌĆÖ was a success. We believe it would become a good tradition to hold such ŌĆśLaboratoriesŌĆÖ in perspective, for example ŌĆśLaboratory of heritage tourismŌĆÖ, ŌĆśLaboratory of gastronomic tourismŌĆÖ, ŌĆśLaboratory of wellness tourismŌĆÖ and so on.

The flavor is great. I use it on a great numbers of foods. Works well in the crock pot with a pot roast. Add to a sandwich for extra zing. I love the flavor of the Rhino sauce, which is why I like the Mild, but I am never without a bottle of the HOT, just for the added heat.

As a mom living with chronic illness and the chronic pain that goes along with it, I've really been working on getting rid of clutter. It's overwhelming, bogs me down and causes decision fatigue. Not to mention, having too many things to take care of taxes my already limited energy reserves (in spoonie speak, it costs too many spoons) Nothing is more relaxing that living in a space that's been simplified and decluttered. But getting started with the decluttering process can be really overwhelming. How do you decide what to get rid of to declutter your life? Unfortunately many of us are really attached to stuff that we've been holding on to for years (or decades) and might even struggle to give things away that we haven't even used.
How to Get Started Decluttering When You're Overwhelmed
More and more people are discovering the joy and peace that minimalism brings. It's incredibly appealing to consider downsizing and simplifying your life by getting rid of the junk and clutter and learning to live more intentionally. But for many of us the actual process of getting rid of the stuff can be daunting, especially if you've accumulated decades of clutter all in one place. Begin by making things more manageable and take a look at some specific ideas for how to handle decluttering overwhelms.
Know Your Why
In business life, the concept of "Know Your Why" is often used as a motivator to remind entrepreneurs of the reasons they went into business for themselves in the first place. This same concept is essential for keeping you focused when the decluttering process becomes difficult. Understanding your reasons for wanting to live a minimalist lifestyle is crucial to following through.
Make It a Priority
The first step to getting a handle on your feelings about decluttering is to understand that nothing needs to be accomplished overnight. Set aside a general amount of time for the project, knowing that your timeline can be extended slightly, if necessary. Having a time frame provides structure, but allowing wiggle room takes away the pressure.
Create a Plan
Having a concrete plan is essential to the smooth completion of any goal you hope to accomplish. It only makes sense that mapping out your steps to decluttering would also be beneficial. Write down things in your journal such as the order you wish to tackle your clutter, how many rooms or areas you would like to complete each week, the manner in which you want to sell valuable items and where you will donate the rest. This simple and proactive step can go a long way toward making it all seem more manageable.
Visualize Your Ideal Space
One more thing to do before actually getting down to the business of decluttering is to create a visual in your head of how you'd like your finished space to look. It may even help to jot down some drawings and notes. Doing so will help you decide what to keep and what to discard because you will have a better idea of whether a particular item will complement your vision or detract from it.
It's true that the hardest part is often actually getting started. Now that you know some concrete ways to manage the overwhelm of decluttering, you're feeling inspired to begin the process.
How to Declutter Your Home
Put that stress aside for right now. Just start with this list of 50 easy items to toss on your decluttering journey, and you'll soon be decluttering like a pro.

2. Broken or ugly jewelry

ALL COLORS MATTER: Everybody's light bar can produce white light, but can it do this? Didn't think so! Let's face it, light bars look badass on a bigass truck…and it's about style as much as it is bright light. Profile recognized that, and built the RGBAR for the guy who wants to see where he's going in the middle of the woods, and wants to be seen in the middle of the city. What we see? A rock solid light bar that's reasonably priced, well-made, and looks the business.
PERSONALITY: Rock it in Red. Go Green. Blast em with Blue. Pretty in Pink. Whatever you feel like…that's the beauty of Profile's RGBAR. The integrated color-changing backlighting is bright, and easy to control with something like the optional Morimoto XBT Bluetooth Controller.
IDENTITY: Distinct design separates itself (and your truck) from the pack with it's low profile geometry, blacked out bash guard, ang rising sun side caps. Make no mistake, this is a product from our friends at Profile Performance (AKA the LED-focused division of Morimoto)
OPTICS: Using a total of 12-80 powerful Philips 3W LEDs for a combined 36W and projector optics, you'll be rewarded with plenty of bright light to blow away any high beam at night. Are these as bright as something like the Diode Stage Series we also offer? In our testing: not quite, but they're also more affordable and offer features the Diode doesn't.
RELIABLE: The Profile bar is as burley as it gets. IP67 waterproof, extruded aluminum shell keeps the internal gear well-protected and the moisture out. The thermally optimized heat sink radiates plenty of heat and keeps the system cool. The bash-proof PC lens can take a hit. It will take care of itself, you just keep moving.

Wallbridge Updates Sudbury Exploration Progress
Toronto, Ontario -- March 2, 2007 -- Wallbridge Mining Company Limited (TSX:WM; FWB: WC7) today reported drilling results from its Trill Property as well as exploration progress on its other Sudbury area properties. Concurrent with the geophysical program, 5,000 metres of drilling will be initiated this spring.
Trill Property Assay Results
Drill results on the Trill Property confirmed the high PGE grade of the mineralization and extended the copper-nickel-PGE mineralization outside the limits of the offset dyke. Significant drill intercepts from the mineralized zone within the dyke include:
• 8.76 m of 0.59% Ni, 0.94% Cu and 6.758 g TPM/t in hole WTR-028
• 3.52 m of 0.83% Ni, 0.83% Cu and 6.815 g TPM/t in hole WTR-034
Intercepts from PGE-copper veins from outside the dyke include:
• 0.57 m of 0.45% Ni, 0.49% Cu and 7.774 g TPM/t in hole WTR-030
• 1.12 m of 0.06% Ni, 1.51% Cu and 10.143 g TPM/t in hole WTR-034
• 0.95 m of 1.45% Ni, 0.23% Cu and 3.183 g TPM/t in hole WTR-034
True width of the mineralized intercepts cannot be estimated due to the nature of the mineralization. A complete table of mineralized intercepts is appended to this release.
A deep penetrating Titan-24 IP/MT survey is planned to explore the dyke and surrounding rocks, including the new breccia belt and gravity anomaly located some 500 metres to the south of the Trill Offset Dyke mineralization.
Other Sudbury Exploration
The Titan-24 survey on the Trill Property is part of a major geophysical program currently underway on Wallbridge's Sudbury properties which includes:
- A Titan-24 survey on the Frost Lake Property, northeast of the new CVRD Inco/Lonmin Plc Capre Lake discovery. The survey will cover the Amy Lake Zone and surrounding area, including the area of the footwall nickel intercept announced last year (see Press Release dated April 5, 2006);
- A UTEM survey covering the area of the footwall nickel intercept on the Frost Property;
- A UTEM survey over the Drill Lake Property, located 1.5 kilometres to the southeast and within the same breccia belt which hosts the CVRD Inco/Lonmin Plc Capre Lake discovery;
- A Titan-24 survey over a 4 kilometre long belt of highly prospective Sudbury Breccia on the Skynner Lake Property;
- An IP survey over the East Totten Lake Breccia Belt on the Trill Property;
- A Titan-24 survey over the copper-nickel-PGE mineralization located in the Hess Offset dyke last summer (see Press Release dated December 19, 2006);
Drilling Update
On the North Range, testing of airborne conductors on the Crowflight JV Project, intersected minor zinc mineralization at one of the 10 targets tested. A down-hole EM survey indicated good conductive targets immediately adjacent to the drill hole. These will be targeted by a follow-up drill program scheduled to begin within the next two weeks.
This drilling is part of a spring/summer drilling program of up to 5,000 m, which will also test targets on the Frost Lake, Skynner, Foy, Hess, Wisner, and Trill Properties. High priority targets include the up-plunge projection of the CVRD Inco/Lonmin Plc Capre Lake discovery onto the Frost Lake Property, as well as step out holes from the footwall nickel intercept on the Frost Lake Property.
Drilling will also be carried in the Southwest Area of the Wisner Property, to test a moderate depth Titan-24 IP anomaly which is spatially associated with copper-nickel-PGE mineralization exposed by trenching, and intersected in drilling last year (see Press Release dated May 30, 2006).
Drilling is also budgeted to follow up geophysical targets generated by the winter geophysical programs described above.
The Frost Lake property is part of a 50/50 joint venture with Xstrata Nickel. The Trill, Skynner, Lake and Foy properties are part of the Sudbury Camp Joint Venture ("SCJV") with Lonmin Plc. ("Lonmin"). Lonmin earns a 50% interest in any property on which a resource is established and can increase its interest to 65% by taking that property through feasibility and funding work through to commercial production.
Half core samples were prepared at ALS Chemex Ltd. Laboratories in Sudbury and then shipped to their analytical facilities in Vancouver. Samples were analyzed for Au, Pt and Pd using a standard fire assay with an ICPAES finish; Cu and Ni were analyzed using a four acid (near total) digestion and an AAS finish.

FRANKFURT (Reuters) - Talks to resolve a pay dispute at German airline Lufthansa (LHAG.DE) have made enough progress to lift the threat of any immediate work stoppages, flight attendants' union UFO said early on Tuesday.
Lufthansa had faced a June 30 deadline to make concessions or be hit with one-day strikes by cabin crew workers over the busy summer holiday season.
Due to the progress in the latest talks, cabin crew union official Nicoley Baublies told Reuters the start of any possible industrial action had been pushed back to mid-July at the earliest.
Lufthansa has been in lengthy talks with various staff groups to try to cut costs to compete more effectively with low-cost airlines and Gulf airline rivals.
UFO said earlier on Monday its members were ready to talk and Lufthansa Chief Executive Carsten Spohr told journalists he was optimistic that a deal could be reached.
UFO said last week its members would strike on July 1 if Lufthansa did not put forward a much better offer on pay and pensions.
More one-day strikes would follow that could last until Sept. 16, disrupting travel over the lucrative peak summer season, the union said at the time.
Spohr said the airline needed 24 hours' notice to change flight plans so it was crucial to come to an agreement on the negotiation process with unions by the morning of June 30 at the latest.
The dispute centers around the airline's pension scheme.
Lufthansa has said that low interest rates mean it can no longer afford the retirement scheme it offers to cabin crew.
The costs of the scheme, which amounted to some 3.7 billion euros ($4.1 billion) last year, are of particular concern for the airline because cabin crew can take early retirement from the age of 55 due to the strains of frequent flying.
It wants employees to contribute more of their salary towards their pension. UFO wants to keep much of the current retirement scheme.
Spohr said the airline wanted to ensure that employees who had been with the company the longest would be least affected by the pension changes.
Lufthansa shares were down nearly two percent, while the German blue chip index .GDAXI, hit by the Greek debt crisis, was down 3.56 percent.

My travels take me many places. Today, I find myself in the Atlas system dropping off several medical professional whose services I assume are need here. The station is barren of entertainment for someone like me. This station is very spartan and industrial. Function over form here. Still, every place has people looking to get away, even just for a little while. Browsing through the would be passenger manifest, the standard fare is all here; sightseeing to a few nearby systems, transport or prisoners, and one not so standard affair. A man wants to go visit a black hole. I've only ever seen a black hole from a long distance. A few button presses gets me in contact with the man.
"Hello, I hear you want to go visit the Maia Black Hole." I tell him. The video call is a little glitchy. "Hello? Yes, I think…" the connection is unstable and static plays through my cockpit "…be fascinating". Too much interference from the machinery in this station. "Alright, dock 45, we'll leave as soon as you are ready." The man arrives within 10 minutes. Impressive. He must really be anxious to get going. I give him a quick scan to make sure that he isn't trying to escape the authorities. That has got me into trouble far too often in the past. All clear.
The trip consists of just one jump, and a pretty long but easy cruise. Cruising along at great speeds, the console beeps. A message from my lone passenger. The man's face appears on the screen looking rather nervous. "Oh great, what now?" I wonder aloud seeing the man's face as he pauses a great while trying to find the words. "I have just received a communication… from… uh…. A friend of mine, that I… uh… have a bounty on my head." Great. We've got several hours of open space in front of us, and now it is like to be swarming with bounty hunters.
Lucky for me that space was filled with only one eager bounty hunter. The hunter even sends me a message before engaging, informing me of his intent. I would be surprised if this so called bounty hunter had actually ever successfully claimed a bounty. The expected frame-shift interdiction begins shortly. The warp bubble collapses around my taxi in a very predictable pattern. I take the time to send a communication to my would be attacker. "Not today son, this isn't my first interdiction ya know." A few turns and we are back on our way cruising towards the black hole, leaving the amateur behind us. I like to imagine that he was cursing me while watching the trail left by my engines fade into the distance. "Don't worry buddy, you'll catch one some day" I say while laughing aloud to myself, the sound reverberating around my cockpit.
The black hole is truly a sight to behold. The way that space and debris seems to bend around it is fascinating. The majesty of some things is just beyond words.
Needless to say, my fare was overjoyed at such sights, even going so far as pay me extra for how great seeing a black hole so close was, though it didn't hurt that we evaded some danger as well. I leave the station behind me, moving on, sparing a quick thought for how many bounty hunters might find him on such a sparsely populated port.

Tour Description
Kathmandu Lhasa Tour – 8 days (Overland journey to Lhasa)
A good option for travellers with little time, this tour – one of our most popular – takes advantage of the so-called 'Friendship Highway' between the two capital cities. Highlights en route are Sukya, the largest monastery in Tibet; Shigatse, Tibet's second largest city; Tashilungpo Monastery, the seat of Panchen Lama; Shalu Monastery; Gyantse (Tibet's ancient trading hub) and the beautiful Turquoise Lake, Yamdruk Tso, which is Tibet's largest freshwater lake.
This tour is available all year round. Please note that the tour comes in two versions – a basic tour for those on a limited budget, or a more deluxe tour for those with a little more money to spend.
The budget tour involves travelling in larger groups with one guide with basic, sometimes dormitory style accommodation and economy class transportation.
The deluxe tour can be tailored to your individual requirements. The tour would follow the itinerary below, but includes better quality (usually three-star) hotels, a luxury standard Land Cruiser and a personal guide whose services will be available to you at all times throughout your trip. This kind of tour is recommended for individual travellers and small groups or families.
Whichever tour option you select, you are at liberty either to ask us to plan your onward trip from Lhasa – or to make your own independent travel arrangements.

I went out to take some pictures today. I fixed the blog picture quality issue btw-yay! It was dark out though, so they weren't as nice as I had hoped.
As I donned my gay apparel, Gizmo told me bye.
You'll be happy to know that the cows are melted now. They no longer had ice on them and appeared dry and well.
The woods I ventured into.
I passed by some things on the way.
After a slight journey, I reached the deeper woods.
And then the creek.
I touched a tree, and this snapped off. Oops-sorry.
Do you have beautiful pictures this weather event? Post a link below in the comments!

The utilization of mining waste is an important problem in Poland and Ukraine. The article presents one of the variants of waste mining in the quarry in Płaza. An analysis of the resource base of the deposit and their location at the area of Płaza deposit is carried out. The Płaza deposit is located in the western part of the Małopolskie province, in the entire Chrzanów commune. The Płaza deposit is constructed of Middle Triassic carbonates represented by the limestone-dolomite Olkusz Formation and the limestone-marlized Gogolin Formation. The deposit series lies on the dolomites of Röt age (Lower Triassic – Olenekian). The most valuable raw material was the pure limestone from the lower part of the Olkusz Formation, now almost completely exploited. The article presents the current state of mineable reserves of the deposit and their quality (chemical and physical characteristics). Moreover the article shows potential consumers of raw material and the possibility of extending the life of the mine work. According to the results of the environmental monitoring the ground and hydrogeological conditions were evaluated, the results of which allowed a more efficient use of the existing quarry area for mining waste disposal to be proposed. The paper presents a conceptual waste transport scheme, planned distribution and compaction of wastes belonging to the first, second and third group and then a surface reclamation. In view of the absence of similar decisions analogs, the consideration of the open-pit as a one solid geomechanical system functioning under the conditions of uncertainty is suggested. In order to examine the dynamics of the waste compaction process, some measures are foreseen to constantly observe their subsidence. The proposed measures for the synchronous disposal of mining waste in the worked-out area of the open-pit and the simultaneous mining operation in the quarry will allow the life cycle of the open-pit to be prolonged for 15–20 years.

The purpose of the research was mapping, inventorization, and valorization of coal mining waste dumps from the mines of JSW SA company, for the needs of recovery of coal from the dump material as well as the reclamation and management of examined facilities. The valorization of post-mining waste dumps has been carried out using a methodology which considers the problems of reclamation, management, accessibility of the dumps as well as environmental hazards connected with disposing of mining and preparation wastes on the ground surface. An inventorization of 10 coal mining waste dumps coming from 6 mines of JSW SA including in their range 7 deposits: Borynia, Jastrzębie, Zofiówka, Budryk, Knurów, Szczygłowice and Pniówek was carried out. The source material within the localization of particular dumps was obtained from archival materials coming from coal mines and municipalities where the dumps are located. Verified data has been drawn on topographical map, which results in the map of coal mining waste dumps. The results of the valorization of the dumps comprise the defining of: the name of the dump, state of the dump, surface of the dump, accessibility, name of the coal mine from where the wastes come from, type of technical and biological reclamation and possibilities of coal recovery, which have been brought on the drawn map. Basing on collected and elaborated data, an attempt of defining of potential possibilities of recovery of coal from the dumps and connection of coal quality in the deposits of JSW SA and in waste material was made. The results of the research showed that in spite of preliminary information that a majority of the investigated dumps may be considered as potential facilities for coal recovery, ultimately the recovery is economically justified only in several cases (5 facilities).

The new legislative provisions, regulating the trade in solid fuels in our country, draw attention to the need to develop and improve methods and methods of managing hard coal sludge. The aim of the work was to show whether filtration parameters (mainly the permeability coefficient) of hard coal sludge are sufficient for construction of insulating layers in landfills at the stage of their closing and what is the demand for material in the case of such a procedure. The analysis was carried out for landfills for municipal waste in the Opolskie, Śląskie and Małopolskie provinces. For hard coal sludge, the permeability coefficient values are in the range of 10–8–10–11 m/s, with the average value of 3.16 × 10–9 m/s. It can be concluded that this material generally meets the criteria of tightness for horizontal and often vertical flows. When compaction, increasing load or mixing with fly ash from hard coal combustion and clays, the achieved permeability coefficient often lowers its values. Based on the analysis, it can be assumed that hard coal sludge can be used to build mineral insulating barriers. At the end of 2016, 50 municipal landfills were open in the Opolskie, Śląskie and Małopolskie Provinces. Only 36 of them have obtained the status of a regional installation, close to 1/3 of the municipal landfill are within the Major Groundwater Basin (MGB) range. The remaining storage sites will be designated for closure. Assuming the necessity to close all currently active municipal waste landfills, the demand for hard coal sludge amounts to a total of 1,779,000 m3 which, given the assumptions, gives a mass of 2,704,080 Mg. The total amount of hard coal sludge production is very high in Poland. Only two basic mining groups annually produce a total of about 1,500,000 Mg of coal sludge. The construction of insulating layers in landfills of inert, hazardous and non-hazardous and inert wastes is an interesting solution. Such an application is prospective, but it will not solve the problem related to the production and management of this waste material as a whole. It is important to look for further solutions.

Significant quantities of coal sludge are created during the coal enrichment processes in the mechanical processing plants of hard coal mines (waste group 01). These are the smallest grain classes with a grain size below 1 mm, in which the classes below 0.035 mm constitute up to 60% of their composition and the heat of combustion is at the level of 10 MJ/kg. The high moisture of coal sludge is characteristic, which after dewatering on filter presses reaches the value of 16–28% (Wtot r) (archival paper PG SILESIA). The fine-grained nature and high moisture of the material cause great difficulties at the stage of transport, loading and unloading of the material. The paper presents the results of pelletizing (granulating) grinding of coal sludge by itself and the piling of coal sludge with additional material, which is to improve the sludge energy properties. The piling process itself is primarily intended to improve transport possibilities. Initial tests have been undertaken to show changes in parameters by preparing coal sludge mixtures (PG SILESIA) with lignite coal dusts (LEAG). The process of piling sludge and their mixtures on an AGH laboratory vibratory grinder construction was carried out. As a result of the tests, it can be concluded that all mixtures are susceptible to granulation. This process undoubtedly broadens the transport possibilities of the material. The grain composition of the obtained material after granulation is satisfactory. Up to 2 to 20 mm granules make up 90–95% of the product weight. The strength of the fresh pellets is satisfactory and comparable for all mixtures. Fresh lumps subjected to a test for discharges from a height of 700 mm can withstand from 7 to 14 discharges. The strength of the pellets after longer seasoning, from the height of 500 mm, shows different values for the analyzed samples. The values obtained for hard coal sludge and their blends with brown coal dust are at the level from 4 to 5 discharges. The strength obtained is sufficient to determine the possibility of their transport. At this stage of the work it can be stated that the addition of coal dust from lignite does not cause the deterioration of the material's strength with respect to clean coal sludge. Therefore, there is no negative impact on the transportability of the granulated material. As a result of mixing with coal dusts, it is possible to increase their energy value (Klojzy-Karczmarczyk at al. 2018). The cost analysis of the analyzed project was not carried out.

Gale River Road: 1.2 miles/ Garfield Trail: 4.8 miles / Garfield Ridge Trail: 0.4 miles / Garfield Trail: 4.8 miles / Gale River Road: 1.2 miles
12.4 miles (3,400 feet elevation gained)
Click here for trail descriptions
Trip Report
- Mount Garfield in the winter is usually done as an out and back starting at the gate located at the south end of the Gale River Loop Road. The hike is twelve miles but is relatively tame as the only steep section is the final few tenths of a mile on the Garfield Ridge Trail just below the summit. The first mile or so is a road walk along the Gale River Loop Road to the summer trailhead.
- I have hiked Mount Garfield before in the winter. The first time was a hike of Garfield, Galehead, South Twin, North Twin, back over South Twin, down to the Gale River Road and walked in the snow back to my car (Click here for that report).
- On this day I would be joining Whitney, Tim, and Chris. Whitney is working on finishing her 48-4,000 footers in the winter, this would be #19 for her as she is hoping to finish before heading to Georgia in March for her hike of the A.T. (Click here for her blog). Whitney, recently was selected to be an Appalachian Trail ambassadors for her 2014 thru-hike. On her hike she will be supplied with Osprey Packs, NEMO Equipment, Darn Tough Vermont Socks, and LEKI. Congrats, Whitney!
- We hiked at a nice brisk pace up the old fire warden road that makes up the Garfield Trail. The trail corridor is one of the most well defined in all of the White Mountains. There are a couple of low water crossings along the way which were a little tricky since they weren't snow-bridged, which is extremely unusual for this time of year. At the first crossing I tried to go downstream to take a picture of everyone crossing and I fell through! Luckily, I was fine and my old boots amazingly are still solidly waterproof.
- There isn't anything too exciting about the Garfield Trail. It definitely is a better hike in the winter with everything covered in snow. Tim, pointed out some old telephone wire that ran up to the old observation tower. He also said there are old poles that people mistake for trees. I kept looking for them but never could locate them, I think I looked for them before unsuccessfully.
- We took a nice break to eat at the junction with the Garfield ridge Trail before the steep burst up to the summit. Without having traction on it made the final push up to the summit a little difficult as I kept slipping back and into the snow.
- There were no views to be had from the summit so we didn't stay long, just a couple of pictures snapped before butt sledding and boot skiing back down to the junction. I ran ahead and bounced off one tree, taking a shot to the ribs but I was fine and shook it off.
- The hike out was great, I was happy to be losing elevation as my fingers were very cold. Even with mittens and hand warmers my fingers now have bad circulation, they eventually warmed up and I was fine by 3,000 feet.
- Tim cleared three blow-downs on the way out with his hand saw. I was messing around and kicked off a lingering branch that snapped back and nailed me in the face, it friggan hurt like hell, thank god for the snow which I shoved between my hat and forehead! I was fine, no swelling or headache!
- The final stretch along the Gale River Road was a perfect way to end three days of hiking, the snow was falling and it seems like winter is finally coming to the Whites. Just need one big blizzard and it'll be perfect!

Published at Wednesday, August 07th, 2019 - 00:43:40 AM. Wedding Dresses. By Alhmanic Albrecht.
Some Brides choose to have bespoke wedding dresses, but a custom made wedding gown may come at a premium price. Some brides are in the fortunate position of knowing someone who can make the dress for them and others seek to have the dress made in the Far East. Having the dress made in China or some other country has its pit falls and you should consider ensuring the dress arrives, a good two or three month, before your wedding. Although, in the past there have been negative stories of purchase from e-bay, my personal recommendation is e-bay is the safest way to buy such an item from the Far East. This is because if there is a dispute or poor workmanship when paying with PayPal on eBay the buyer has financial protection.
Every bride dreams of having the perfect wedding, but for this they need the perfect wedding dress, with the bridesmaid's dresses complimenting the brides dress. The problem is; how do you choose the most beautiful dress when there are so many gorgeous wedding dresses to choose from.

"The median sales price, adjusted for inflation, peaked in the second quarter of 2007 and has declined 35.6% over the subsequent two years. CPI-adjusted median sales price fell 23.1% from the same period last year to $605,000 in the first quarter of this year. A significant contributor to the declining price trend over the past six months has been the decline in the market share of high end property sales—yet contrary to popular belief, they are still occurring. We know of two $10 million places and a $15 million one that recently went to contract. Plus, there's the expected seasonal uptick in signed contracts to keep an eye on."

text: Facts and Tips About Getting an Auto Insurance As a car owner and driving for many years now, have you ever wondered why auto insurance is needed? The fact is that there's no federal mandate indicating that all drivers need to purchase insurance because auto insurance laws are set on the state level, and various states differ in laws. Over one hundred years ago, in the advent of the first automobile, there were many cases of car accidents and the person who is at fault would usually not be able to pay for the damages, and Connecticut and Massachusetts were the first two states to implement compulsory auto insurance laws. The only state that does not have compulsory auto insurance in New Hampshire as long as the driver can prove that he is able to pay for the damages in any event of car accident. The two types of car insurance are full coverage and liability insurance. The best option for you is full coverage if you own a new car, you are leasing one, or you purchased an automobile with a loan. If you are involved in an accident, the other driver, and your car will be protected because full coverage includes comprehensive coverage and collision coverage with standard liability protection. Full coverage is required for most leases and loans. Liability coverage is suitable if you have an older car since it only covers the other driver and their vehicle if you are the one found at fault. Over time there were additional coverage that car owners can also choose from such as uninsured and underinsured motorist coverage, medical payments coverage, and personal injury protection. An uninsured and underinsured motorist coverage provides protection from car accidents wherein the other driver does not have insurance or is underinsured. An uninsured motorist bodily injury coverage may also extend to your passengers or to a family member who's driving your car. A medical payments coverage can protect you if ever your family member and other passengers got involved in a car accident, helping pay for the costs of your injuries that include surgery, hospitalization, diagnostic procedures, and more. Personal injury protections provides medical payments coverage, including loss of income or child care expenses, and helps in covering expenses or deductibles of your health insurance. Frisco is Texas' booming city, that is considered a northern suburb of Dallas, and it is common to see heavy traffic and congested road happen along with population growth. If you live in Frisco, you are covered by Texas auto insurance law involving bodily injury liability, property damage liability, minimum liability coverage of up to $60,000 for all persons injured in the accident, subject to $30,000 per individual, and $25,000 for property damage.

Jo Mora's Incredibly Detailed L.A. History Map from 1942 | KCET
Jo Mora's Incredibly Detailed L.A. History Map from 1942
Navigating through rows and floors of books at the Los Angeles Public Library's Central Branch can be a daunting task, usually requiring a glance at the floor map. What the map may not show, ironically, is that tucked away at the very bottom of the building in the History and Genealogy Department, is the library's 100-year-old collection of 100,000 historic maps.
Currently on display at the library's First Floor Galleries (until November 4th), "As the CIty Grew: Historical Maps of Los Angeles,", makes it a bit easier for us to digest this massive collection. One of the 34 featured maps in the exhibit is "Historical and Recreational Map of Los Angeles," designed by Jo Mora in 1942 and dedicated to his "buen amigo" Charles Lummis. The map squeezes in an extraordinary amount of historical facts and figures onto its 23- by 30-inch surface, depicting almost the entire history of Los Angeles up to that point, while looking toward the future.
Story continues below
Born in Uruguay in 1876 to a family of artists (including his father, Catalonian sculptor Domingo Mora, and brother Luis, a painter) Joseph Jacinto "Jo" Mora and his family soon left to settle around New Jersey and Massachusetts. He developed a career as an illustrator in Boston, and it was there that he began his fascination with the West, in particular the Californian missions and the Southwest Indians. Eventually traveling west, in 1907 he was married at Mission San Juan Capistrano. He settled his family in Carmel in 1920.
Mora took a humorous approach to issues surrounding the tangled history of Los Angeles. The amount of detail is astounding, covering a huge spectrum - from the city's water wars to the rise of the film industry. Excerpts don't do the map justice (you owe it to yourself to go look at the full size map at the exhibit), but observing the details reveals Mora's keen understanding of the city.
As an avid rancher, one of his favorite subjects was the cowboy. He spent years as a ranch hand at Donahue Ranch, near what is now Solvang. His book "Trail Dust and Saddle Leather" is one of the most authentic and entertaining accounts of cowboy life. For some, his most well-known work may not be his own commissioned work - but on the album cover for Sweetheart of the Rodeo, the groundbreaking 1968 album by L.A.-based cosmic cowboys The Byrds. The artwork - a detail from another of Mora's maps, "The American Cowboy (Salinas Rodeo)" - has become as iconic as the music found within the grooves.
He was also a prolific sculptor of monuments and bas reliefs, most of which are in California. Many are found in the San Francisco Bay Area and near his home in Carmel and Monterey. His precise reach extended to Los Angeles as well. One of his most elaborate works here is the exterior facade of the Million Dollar Theater - the first of the many historic theaters on Broadway.
The allure of the cowboy never left his mind; almost comically he included a longhorn skull in the otherwise Churrigueresque ornaments that surround the theater:
Mora's "Heroic Figures" can be seen above the entrance of the Pacific Mutual Insurance Building near Pershing Square. Note the presence of a redwood tree, symbolizing stature and growth for the original tenants (now based in Newport Beach; L.A. Conservancy now appropriately occupies an office in the building):
Jo Mora left his mark in a variety of mediums: magazine cartoons, portraits, maps, sculptures and even a children's book - Budgee Budgee Cottontail, published posthumously in 1995. His appreciation for the history of California and the Southwest is apparent in everything he touched, and his works in and about Los Angeles certainly place our city within the legacy of the magnificent West.

While most showers are manually operated with gravity and the available water pressure, electric showers can provide several benefits in homes with low pressure or for those who simply want the latest in technology. Electric showers can be installed in conjunction with any domestic plumbing system.
There are a few factors that must be met before an electric shower can be installed. First, there must be a clearance of 10 meters from the shower head to the cold water source. The water at the source must also have a minimum running pressure of 1 bar with a flow of 8 litres per minute. The maximum pressure of the water with the valve closed is 10 bar. Almost every electric shower comes preconfigured for these conditions. Some can be altered for exceptional conditions.
There are several types of electric showers available. All of them hook up directly to the cold water mainline. Some of them connect to a water heater line and operate as mixer showers, while others heat water internally, so only the cold line is required. The cold line main pipe must be a 15 mm pipe to make a direct connection. It is recommended, however, to install an isolation valve between the mainline and the shower so it can be maintained without having to shut off the main water line, disrupting the use of all water in the home or in several connected flats.
It is recommended that the electrical connection for the shower be made by a qualified electrician to make sure all regulations are being met. The shower must be installed on its own circuit and cannot be linked to a circuit with other appliances. The circuit box must be rated for a 60 amp connection for the shower. In addition, a residual current device (RCD) must be installed either as part of the circuit/fuse board or separately on the circuit leading to the shower. The connection from the shower circuit to the board should be through a miniature circuit breaker (MCB). It is recommended that the circuit consist of a 10 mm cable. This will allow for future shower upgrades to be installed.
The following are the minimum wiring requirements for the most common electric showers:
The minimum cable width for a 7 kw shower is 6 mm, but the shower must not be further than 18 meters away from the circuit box. All fuses and switches must be rated for 32 amps.
An 8.5 kw shower within the 18 meter distance is also 6 mm, but the fuses and switches must be rated for 40 amps.
A 9.5 kw shower requires a 10 mm cable and can run up to 35 meters distance. Fuses and switches must be 45 amps.
A 12.5 kw shower also requires a 10 mm cable for up to 35 meters, but fuses and switches must be 50 amps.
For all electric showers, the supply pipes must be cross bonded.

OKLAHOMA CITY – A bikini boxing promoter says it is willing to change plans for a scheduled event in Bricktown later this month, as a state agency moves forward with a legal request to put it to a halt.
The Oklahoma State Athletic Commission filed a petition for an injunction against Bikini Boxing Association, LLC, in Oklahoma County courts late last month.
The commission, and its director Joe Miller, say the Nebraska-based group's event would run afoul of state law, promoting "an unsanctioned combative sports event" in the state, according to court documents.
"This bikini boxing deal has come up, is really pushing the envelope on whether it's entertainment or whether it's boxing," said Miller, whose agency is tasked with ensuring all combative sporting events – boxing, MMA and wrestling – are properly licensed for the health and safety of the participants.
Miller says after watching some of the videos on the promoter's website, he became concerned.
"Somebody could get really injured, doing what they're doing and that's what we do with professional and amateur boxers; we try to be there, have rules in place that protect fighters as much as possible in a very dangerous sport," he said.
Assistant Attorney General Grant Moak filed a motion last month seeking a temporary and permanent injunction, preventing Bikini Boxing Association, LLC from violating the Oklahoma State Athletic Commission Act.
"In this city, we are modifying our company to be in the parameters of not doing anything illegal," said David Johnson, Bikini Boxing Association, LLC's founder and co-owner in a phone interview with NewsChannel 4. "So what we intend to do is put girls in bigger, jumbo gloves, a bigger glove, where it wouldn't be reasonable to cause or inflict injury."
"What would the girls in the ring be doing?" I asked him.
"We would call them, I would say pretending to box."
"So they wouldn't actually be boxing, is what you're saying."
"Correct," Johnson said. "They're not trained or – they're amateurs, they're not trained, any professional skills, in the capacity of boxing."
An event Johnson said would be "similar to a dramatic pillow fight."
A judge is scheduled to hear the state's petition on June 9.
"If they wanted to apply to become a promoter in the state of Oklahoma, we would be happy to license them and treat them the same way we would any other boxing promoter that comes in to the state," Miller said.

Irwin Mitchell's specialist serious injury team has helped a man claim compensation after being deliberately run over and injured in Sheffield.
In February 2009, our client Mr K, sustained serious injuries which meant his spleen had to be removed, plus suffering from extensive scarring and psychological injuries. This occurred after he was injured when he was deliberately run over in Sheffield.
Our client had got into a disagreement with a road user. The driver of the car had verbally abused Mr K's partner, and when our client had approached the driver on foot to speak with him, the passenger in the vehicle had shown Mr K a knife. Our client then quickly tried to leave the scene, but the driver used the car to run Mr K over.
Mr K's injuries meant that he required lifelong medication. He suffered flashbacks and nightmares. He found day-to-day life much more difficult to deal with than he did before.
The police never traced the car or the driver. We therefore made a claim to the Motor Insurers Bureau under the Untraced Drivers Scheme. Using this scheme meant that Mr K could claim damages for his injuries, even though the driver was never found.
In Autumn 2011, Irwin Mitchell successfully settled his case for an amount which allowed him to have the psychological treatment he needed to improve his quality of life and live as he did before. We also recovered the cost of his medications for the rest of his life.
If you or a loved one has been seriously injured in a road traffic accident, our serious injury lawyers could help you claim compensation. See our Road Traffic Accident Compensation page for more information.
