The monitors with an LED backlight help save the environment throughout their entire service life – from manufacturing through operation to disposal. For on the one hand they are characterized by particularly low electricity consumption. The typical consumption is just 14 Watt. On the other hand, they are free from mercury – a substance that is harmful to both humans and the environment and is very difficult to dispose of.
First-class image quality
The monitor boasts a brilliantly sharp resolution of 1920 x 1080 (Full HD) pixels and a high contrast ratio of 1000:1. The TN panels with the latest generation LED backlight deliver a sharp image with a high level of detail and excellent brightness. One special feature is the EIZO UpView function: It ensures that the colors will not appear washed out if you have to look up at the monitor. A phenomenon that arises frequently in conventional TN panel monitors.
10-bit LUT: precise colour control
An image can only be perfect if the colours are, too. This is why EIZO office monitors have a 10-bit look-up table at a minimum, which allows the colour information to be assigned much more precisely than with conventional 8-bit LUTs. The finest colour gradations ensure that gradients are always perfectly displayed, while also offering customised adjustment options. For example, you can adjust the white balance from 4000 K to 10000 K in 500-K intervals.
Save electricity and your eyes with Auto EcoView
Brilliant in all light conditions: The Auto EcoView function adjusts the brightness of the monitor to the changing ambient light fully automatically by using a sensor. In bright light, it increases image brightness; at darker times, it reduces it. The benefits: Annoying glare is reduced, objects on the monitor will be easier to perceive, and your eyes will not get tired as quickly.
Of course, it is also possible to control the monitor manually. EcoView Index is used for orientation on how environmentally friendly your settings are. In this way, you can control your electricity consumption yourself.
EcoView Sense: Motion sensor as an electricity-saving function
You can use the motion sensor (EcoView Sense) to save electricity and reduce your energy costs. The principle behind this: When you are sitting in front of the screen, the monitor is being used. When you leave your workstation, it automatically switches to energy-saving mode. As soon as you return, it is reactivated – fully automatically thanks to the motion sensor.
Save up to 30% of energy with the EcoView Optimizer
Save electricity without compromising quality: The EcoView Optimizer reduces the background lighting fully automatically for dark images. This reduces electricity consumption by up to 30%. At the same time, the signal is amplified and the colour tone values adjusted. The result: You will enjoy the image quality you are used to but consume less power.
Zero-Watt consumption thanks to the power switch
The monitors have an integrated mechanical power switch, which is extremely practical and energy-saving: If you switch off the monitor using the power switch, the device will stop consuming any power at all. Moreover, it consumes a maximum of 0.3 watt in standby mode.
Preset colour modes: Optimised display at the press of a button
Preset colour modes make it easier for you to work and look at images, texts, or films. Because when choosing colour settings, it makes a difference whether you are looking at a film, editing an image, surfing the net, or writing texts. You can configure the respective presettings for brightness, gamma correction, and colour temperature at the press of a button. Thanks to the ScreenManager Pro software included, a mode can be allocated to each application, which is activated automatically when the programme starts. An example: Paper mode simulates the pleasant contrast of books by reducing the blue light portion. This protects your eyes while reading and stops them from getting tired.
ScreenManager Pro: For your personal settings
All FlexScan monitors include ScreenManager Pro software, which can be used to change colour and EcoView settings using your mouse and keyboard instead of using the display menu. The signal cable or a USB connection is sufficient. What's more, you can also use the multi-monitor matching function to match all FlexScan monitors connected to the same PC.
One monitor, many ports
It doesn't get easier than this: You can connect most of your devices, such as PC, laptop or cameras directly to the monitor because the monitor hasa number of different ports. That makes your daily work easier.
Ergonomic and stable: the adjustable stand focuses on ergonomics. You can rotate, swivel and tilt the monitor stand until you find the most comfortable setting for your back, neck and sitting posture. It features continuous height adjustment and can be lowered almost to the base plate of the stand, enabling you to position the top image line ergonomically right below your eye level.
EIZO grants a five-year warranty. This is possible thanks to the highly developed production process based on a simple principle of success: sophisticated and innovative monitor technology, made from high-end materials.Go to the warranty overview
Anti-glare coating: more image, less reflection
The EV2316W offers a surface with optimal anti-glare coating. By minimising glare from the spread of the reflected light, the anti-glare coating effectively protects your eyes from straining. This keeps your eyes from getting as tired and allows you to sit comfortably in front of the screen, without having to sit in a forced position to prevent glare.
EcoView Automatic is turned on by briefly pressing a button. In the case of strong lighting, the image brightness is increased, while it is reduced in the case of weak lighting. This results in the highest levels of ergonomic comfort at the workstation thanks to the most constant contrast possible, which incidentally saves both money and the environment.
Where saving energy counts, the EcoView Sense function really comes into its own. It automatically turns the screen on or off, depending on whether the user is sitting/standing in front of the screen at that time. EcoView Sense will notice that the user has returned even before the mouse is moved or the keyboard is touched. The screen is therefore always ready for use immediately and does not waste any energy when the user is not in front of it.
Backlights with white LEDs have the same brightness as CCFL backlights yet consume half as much energy. That means extremely high energy efficiency and rapidly falling electricity costs. An added benefit: In contrast to fluorescent tubes, LEDs do not contain any toxic mercury, which is harmful to the environment.
Contrast is the ratio of white to black and for monitors is normally stated as a dark room contrast from a controlled laboratory environment. Typical contrasts on printed paper are 6:1 for newspapers, 31:1 for laser printers, 49:1 for photo paper. For example, dark room contrasts cannot be achieved in the office because an extremely deep black cannot be achieved in normal ambient light – even with the screen turned off.

S05 E22 Hunkered in the Bunker pt. 1 Boyz II Mennonites
Since we're probably about to enter Mad Max times, the ILaPoW and Hyphen Podcast Group family has picked out a lovely little bunker in an undisclosed location in a quaint little cul de sac. Handsome Bane, Melysette and THEE Marc Rob are first people to move in. So to pass the time until all the others arrive, they exchange house warming gifts, make the house rules and introduce the mini-tournament concept. They discuss the weak ass pull out game of men in movies about dystopian futures. And for some reason Bane goes in on Boyz II Men.

S05 E21 Mix-Match Avengers Assemble (ft. Jam Sketches)
This ep starts out with a one-on-one with award winning artist, Jam Sketches. Handsome Bane finds out what makes him tick and gets some background on him.

S05 E20 A Movie Podcast About a Movie Podcast (ft, Kat Chinetti and Showinmadlov)
There are no guests on this episode, just HPG family. Kat and THE Marc Rob stop by to talk about their new podcast "We Should Do This Again Sometime". The gang talks recent film, not so recent film and what movies should be used for kindling. We're looking at you Disney's Blank Check. Everybody makes some dope movie recommendations. So if you're one of those people who hops on Facebook and asks what's good on Netflix, just to tell everybody, "I've seen that one..." then maybe you should check this one out, weirdo. PAX East was also mentioned. Be sure to check everyone out on their socials @Kat_Chinetti, @Showinmadlov and @Ila_Pow

After a quick break, the team cracks open some comics and looks to pop culture to find a suitable candidate to dispatch cuatro-cinco in November and bring peace and prosperity to our land. Then we make friends with a very unlikely person. At the end, an important announcement is made. Tell me if you can hear it.

S05 E18 Brothas and Movies Marketed at Sistas
Kayin P and Handsome Bane start this one talking to Kayin's brother Joe about his kid and a possible visit in the near future. Then the fellas get into Black romcoms and try to figure out why that's the only film marketed to black women. Surely SOMEONE would like a black version of Salt or Furie or Wing Chun. Then the boys list some black women they would be honored to serve in knighthood under. Who would you want to knight you? Answer on our IG or something.

Handsome Bane goes it alone in this week's look at GREAT NIGGA MOMENTS IN HISTORYYYY!

They talk about mediocre white dudes. They discuss the old 7 minute rule (how long a man has to impress a woman). People from Houston. Gwyneth Paltrow don't even slap like that. And waaaaaaaay too many more things to list here. We'll probably return to regular form next week...or we might not. Who knows?

January 27, 2020
S05 E15 Long Division (ft. Austinsostentatious and Jordan)
This one was never on the rails. The fellas got mic'd up, hit record and just went for it. Eventually we land on our intended interview with Kayin and music partner Austin Phil. We get a lot more background on KP. The gentlemen share their top influences both in music and real life. Then we just jump around a bit longer. You'll see. It's a lot of fun. It's going to make for some amazing toaster leavins'

S 05 E 09 Dungeons and Drag Him for Filth (ft. Emmanuel Ortiz)
Sorry about the long sabbatical, but our technology or lack thereof forced us to take a seat. We bounce around a lot in this one, so take your Dramamine. HB interviews Emmanuel "Manny" Ortiz, Creator and producer of The England based media group, Nerd Caliber. Then some people come through to play Dungeons and Dragons. Then a bunch of kids come in and render the audio basically useless. But you get the idea. This almost feels like a Toaster Leavins ep, but everything is related. So we hope you enjoy it. We're playing catch-up, so listen to this one asapington. The next episode will be here before you know it.

S04 E23 Cool Boy Autumn (ft. @ka.patton and @esrivas_lftd)
Coming to you from the newest digs in Roxbury, the lads take the Mission Hill Health Center studio out for its maiden voyage. We introduce for the first time an old friend and new partner Eric Rivas of the Lifted Podcast. He gives us some insight to the great things he has done, is doing and will do in the community. He shares how he came by the new space and just how all that figures into ILaPoW, Lifted, Mission Hill, Level Ground and Hyphen Podcast Group. Then, after the boys eat their community vegetables, we talk comics and just nerd out. We make up a couple new characters. We weigh fighting options in the X-Men world. And is Hot Girl Summer's reign of terror finally over? Can we just chill? Or go apple picking. Or Trick or Treating? Is apple picking just Trick or Treating in nature?

S04 E22 Theater from Our Butts! (ft. @ka.patton, @kat_chinetti and @caecillius12)
The Bane Man begins with an opening monologue copping mad pleas for the tardiness of today's pod. We definitely utilized the professor's grace period for late papers with this one. He talks about his anniversary and the many new kidless hobbies he and his wife have picked up as of late. (They're sharing her hot girl summer). He then issues a warning about the main part of the episode, THEATER FROM OUR BUTTS! It's just the new name of the table reads that we've done so many of before. Now it's just official because it has a name. Bane kills Kayin over some money. Kit Kat faces Goofy in court and wins an Oscar. It will all make sense later.
August 23, 2019
S04 E21 What?! Her Name's Abella Anderson (with B. Hyphen and Marcus ShowinMadLove Robinson
It's episode 96 on the road to 100 and it's a doozy. This time, Handsome Bane called in the Boss of the Hyphen Podcast Group, B. Hyphen himself along with his semi regular co-host and CFO of the HPG, THE Marc Rob(inson). The two of them have been tasked with the Herculean job of answering one question; Which album is better, Childish Gambino's "Because the Internet" or Kendrick Lamar's "Good Kid, Mad City". But rather than take each song from the two projects, they decide to take the top 5 MOMENTS from each and weigh them against one another. Will the music be all that matters? Or will sequencing, storyline or even marketing be the deciding factor? In the end, you will be asked to listen to each case and make a subjective and informed decision. Put your thinking caps on because it doubles as a swim cap as we take this deep dive into two albums that set the bar really high in the early 2010s. Love trust and belief!

S04 E20 Boston City Sirens or Nerds of Prey (starring @Everyday_Rogue and @Kat_Chinetti)

The ladies get into overrated as well as underrated female characters. They discuss cosplays they're tired of seeing as well as cosplays they would like to see more of. Possible group ILaPoW cosplay ideas get leaked. And you get some recommendations for characters/books you might not be familiar with. Enjoy the ILaPoW rendition of Poison Ivy and Harley Quinn and episode 95 as much as we enjoyed recording them.

Then they transition into local politics and make ALL THE SENSE. It's ironically on brand. They came and hung out for an extended period of time before recording this episode. Any time you get to hang with the ladies of O.N., you're going to have a good time.

This week Handsome Bane is joined by fellow blerd Kayin Patton, his semi-regular cohost, Kit Kat Chinetti and her friendbrother, Matthew to discuss their fandoms and how those fandoms affected their relationships both romantic and nonromantic. The windows ARE open and the streets ARE talking in the background, so hopefully they picked up our tips on how to coexist in relationships with nongeeks and how your similar interests and hobbies *gasp* might not be enough to maintain a relationship! It's not all doom and gloom. Kayin's silent girlfriend was right there listening to him talk about tying up Handsome Bane in his dad's basement while listening to Salt N Pepa's "Shoop". ANYTHING IS POSSIBLE for you, my sweet dweebs! Anywho, break out the pen and pad for this one. Love, Trust and Belief. Enjoy!

S04 E17 Yes(terday I Just Thought it Was Funny When You) Hosted by @In.True.Franny.Fashion
Who'da thunk a meme posted on the 'gram could become the subject of an entire pod without looking like we were scraping the bottom of the barrel?

S4 E13 Retales (ft. @travoy_p and B. Rich)
The fellas are back at Level Ground and taking you way back to the times in the retail trenches. Everything that show Super Store talks about is true, but they don't give you ALL the details. In this uncut account, Handsome Bane, B Rich and the Incomparable Travoy Pruitt recount their time with the blue and yellow brand in the middle of the hood. Guys with guns. Girls with goods. B Rich starts a riot. And so much more. Forgive the sound. Apart from the usual quality missing, the city of Boston was experiencing its first warm day in a long time, so every single motor in the city rode by our window. Seriously, Columbia Ave. should get a credit.

S4 E12 FirStEps 2: Goblin Slayer (ft. Marcus "ShowinMadLove" Robinson)
Second installment of our new show(?) FirStEps, with a new ILaPoW first, the debut of Hyphen Podcast Group Labelmate, Marcus "SHOWINMADLOVE" Robinson. We talk anime in an in-depth review of the First Episode of GOBLIN SLAYER, the hyper-violent show about life as a role-playing archetypal character with a vendetta against every. single. goblin. SPOILER and TRIGGER warnings as some of this stuff is hard to watch and harder to discuss. But the guys get through it. Please enjoy this momentous occasion as THEE Marc Rob and the Bane Man meet in their first one on one pod. Surely you won't want it to be the last.
June 7, 2019
S04 E11 The Fashion Show (ft. @In.True.Franny.Fashion)
Made a new friend today. Made a new friend on our way to making a new friend today. Handsome Bane starts of the Pod with another Preramble about meeting an OG from his own city. Old dude could not believe there was another Detroiter in Boston, so he took that as an opportunity to rattle off all of his Motown accomplishments. Later at Level Ground, The ILaPoW crew meets a new friend and new podcaster, Franny of In True Franny Fashion. They talk about her new show, her influences, first generation social media and martial arts! A beautiful friendship is forged and of course, a great time was had by all. Prime outtakes were taken out for later listening on the next "Toaster Leavins" episode. In the meantime, be sure to look up Franny and her new show on any and all podcasting apps and sites. It's a great listen. Love Trust and Belief

S4 E10 The Talent Show
Handsome Bane is fed up with everybody and their bitching about everything in entertainment these days. Nobody knows what they want in an ending for Game of Thrones, Sonic Sickos got vindication, petitions against Pattinson are signed before WB even substantiates the rumors. So in order to stay positive, the Bane man went and grabbed some scripts, grabbed some friends and started doing some table reads. Pardon our laughter on this one, but sometimes stuff be funny. We won't say who the usual suspects are on this one. But here's a hint: The Cave of WOnders is married to Nancy, Lady Olenna tells Spencer to be a Dragon and Bart Baddams reads a piece from the Bresh Brince of Bel-Bair. Enjoy!

S4 E09 First Steps to FirStEps (ft. B. Hyphen, CEO of HyphenPodcast Group)
Whatupdoe Loved Ones! We're trying something a little different this time. We've always been your home for everything from Pro Wrestling takes to Spiritual Warfare to chat with cosplayers. Well, we're working on a new project called "FirStEps" where we take the first episode of a show and deep dive on it so you can see if it's something you would find interesting. That way you're not spending 50 bucks a month on streaming apps just to watch The Office again. On this episode, one of the last Game of Thrones holdouts, KELEN CONLEY (B. Hyphen) makes his return to ILAPOW. We go over the first episode "Winter is Coming" and Kelen's impressions of it. In the end Kelen let's us know if he would like to continue watching Thrones or if it's just not for him. FirStEps is a show we submitted to the Google Podcast project. So wish us luck that we're able to turn this into something. LTB

S4 E08 The Save Point at Anime Boston (ft. Retro Ric)
Looks like the gang's all here. Most of the ILaPoW family has gathered at The 2019 Anime Boston convention at the Hyne's Convention Center. We have taken over the Quiet Room on the 5th floor and turned it into the Save Point, an active safe space that helps to ensure con-goers will be able to go decompress or step away from the convention without worry that someone will try to accost them in any way. Friend of the show, Retro Ric from the Super FanCom Show stops by to play a little "Can You Top This" and talk about his show. There may be some baby sounds in the background. That's just Everyday Olive being clingy to the Returning Everyday Rogue. It's cute.
May 7, 2019
S4 E07 Generational Wealth (ft. Obvious Nonsense)
It's a packed house when Handsome Bane invites the ladies of Obvious Nonsense onto the show for the first time. They discuss their creative outlets like comics, their podcast (Enter Podcast Name Here), how to be young and informed, and the book they have been writing. Bane also tries to not look all that washed next to this group of youngsters. He does well enough to get a round of "Whatchu Know Bout This Here?" a game that was JUST named in this description.

Happy Aaron Day: The Transformers the Movie Review (ft. Miles Amadeus Prower)
Aaron Greenlee is the patron saint of ILaPoW, so this celebration of his life was of the utmost importance. When he passed away in 2011, he didn't just leave a void, he left a huge responsibility to all those who survived him. Today, Handsome Bane honors his brother by reviewing one of the many things Aaron is synonymous with, THE REAL Transformers the Movie. With Bane on this journey is his rival and friend, the crotch-grabbingly-great Miles Amadeus Prower. They float through the plot and spend a lot of time of the small idiosyncrasies. If you've never seen it, there will be spoilers. If you HAVE seen it, prepare to laugh with us as we take a trip down Memory Lane with the greatest 90 minute toy commercial.

S4 E06 Change My Mind: Negan>Walter White (ft. @TheBHyphen)
So after about a week's hiatus, Everyday Rogue returns to help Handsome Bane roll out the red carpet for the boss of the Hyphen Podcast Group, none other than the President of the company Mr. BHyphen himself! The gang recaps the winner of the Most Exquisite Black Film Royal Rumbowl as well as the winner of the ILaPoW Ultimate Care Package giveaway. Thanks to all who voted and participated in the great debate. In more pressing matters, HB defends his hot take that The Walking Dead's Negan is a better human being than Breaking Bad's Walter White. Everyday Rogue plays the impartial moderator as The Hyphen takes on the role of Heisenberg's defense attorney. Points were made and minds were (possibly) changed as we looked at things through a different scope. We understand the importance of perspective and its effect on the viewer. So who do you think wins this? After you listen to this, feel free to weigh in with your opinion?

S4 E05 The Most Exquisite Black Film (ft. Nancy Lam, Kayin P and Dart Adams)
It's been a pretty trash Black History so far. But the ILaPoW extended family looks to change all that with the (fictional) Black Film edition of the ROYAL RUMBOWL! Tough decision were made and feelings will be hurt. Hang on and pay all the attention. The plot thickens when WE CAN'T MAKE UP OUR MINDS! We need your help deciding a winner. So one random loved one will be chosen to receive a free ILaPoW stimulus package as a thank you for helping us know once for all which is the GOAT of Black Film.

S4 E04 Valentine's Day with the Love Nerds AKA The Red One (ft. IAmEenae and MoultonRock179)
Handsome Bane invites the NerdlyWeds, Eenae and Dan to the CastleVania home office to talk love, relationships, cosplay, anime and interesting ways to describe Harry Potter binge sessions. It's evident that they can't control themselves when they start gushing about one another and their second chances for love. Bane tries to stir the pot and turn them against each other in a rendition of the Newlywed game. Get your barf bags ready and enjoy our new friends and the story of dating while geek.

In the season finale, the team gets to wind down with our new best friend, the SPITFIRE KAT CHINETTI! The Main Bane and Kit Kat start with her many fandoms, which leads to her cosplay background and somehow ends up with Kat teaching us all how to yell at perverted photographers (dudes with cameras) in our underwear. As usual, much fun was had and new friendships were forged over bourbon and warm sweaters. This was actually recorded BEFORE the Powwy Awards, so that sparkling chemistry you saw during last week's show was created here.

S3 E17 When You're Right, You Write
This week, we welcome Sci-Fi and Cat enthusiast, Writer ME Lysette to the Castlevania Home Office.

ILaPoW S3 E16 Unsung Holiday Heroes
It's a family affair when the ILaPoW team starts the holiday season off by giving thanks to all the people who don't receive enough shine this time of year. We begin with a lover's spat that gets squashed immediately. They get into the heroes and stories to support their cases. The room is just full of friends and family so this episode probably has more love per capita than any other episode of ILaPoW. And we're just getting started!

ILaPoW S3 E 15 We Got Hats Now
The fellas gather in the CastleVania Home Office to review the 1993 cult classic, "Fear of a Black Hat" starring a bunch of black guys you're sure you've seen before, but can't name (Rusty Cundieff, Larry B. Scott, Mark Christopher Lawrence) who play the group Niggas with Hats in this mockumentary. THERE WILL BE SPOILERS. It's all jokes about the rap game as it was, and the remnants that still somehow shockingly remain relevant today. When a rap group is made to choose between getting paid or "keeping it real", what will happen when the group chooses both? We pretty much laugh the whole time about our favorite parts and quotes, so if you're looking for an in-depth, dissection of a film, we tried. If you've never seen Fear of a Black Hat or our review makes you want to check it out, you can find it on Amazon Prime Video. Hell, you can probably find it on YouTube. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zqp-a... We're also collecting for our toy drive. Comment if you want to know how to help. Cashapp $ilapow and every dime will go towards making a child's holiday very happy.

Ilapow S3 E5 Tales From The Urban Ballet
This episode is all over the place. Literally. We start in the Castlevania Office to explain some stuff. Then, through the magic of recording, we go back in time to a card game that was played in the Castlevania Dining room. Tragically, the sound cuts out and end up back in the office for the dismount.

S2 E18 The Refresher Course
The Mancave is closed again. So we're out like Da Band when Diddy closed down the studio. Thankfully, friend of the show, Nancy Lamerique opened up her kitchen to us. We really are nomads.

Tainted steroid injections at fault
By Ed White
Associated Press
DETROIT (AP) — Days after taking his wife off life support, George Cary got a phone call that confirmed his suspicions: Her meningitis-related death was linked to tainted steroid injections at a Michigan clinic that had regularly treated her back pain.
The doctor on the call had more tough news. Cary's own back injections in September may have come from a contaminated batch too.
Cary went to an emergency room last weekend for a spinal tap. The test results aren't in yet, so he is left to wait and say goodbye to his wife, 67-year-old Lilian Cary, at a memorial service Tuesday.
"They advised me to watch for symptoms," Cary, 65, told The Associated Press from a funeral home in Howell, 60 miles northwest of Detroit. "At this point, there's nothing abnormal, but they said the same thing when Lilian had hers. ... Not only have I lost my wife, but I'm watching the clock to see if anything develops."
Michigan has at least 21 cases of meningitis related to steroid shots made by a specialty pharmacy in Massachusetts. Those cases include the deaths of Lilian Cary and a 56-year-old woman whose identity and hometown haven't been released by public health officials.
Meningitis is an inflammation of the lining of the brain and spinal cord, and a back injection would put any contaminant in more direct contact with that lining. Separately, a Michigan resident developed a nonmeningitis fungal infection after being injected in a joint, not the back, the state Department of Community Health reported.
Lilian Cary died Sept. 30. She had been ill since late August, but meningitis wasn't detected until Sept. 22, her husband said.
Nonetheless, her health seemed to be improving at University of Michigan hospital.
"She was responding to medication. Her spirits were up. Her fever was broken," George Cary said. "She was walking the hallway and Skyping with grandsons."
But she became unresponsive Sept. 26, and eventually was removed from life support after suffering a stroke, he said.
Cary said he was informed Saturday that his wife had been treated with tainted steroids for back pain. The doctor at Michigan Pain Specialists in Brighton, one of four Michigan clinics to get shipments from the Massachusetts pharmacy, said Cary also was at risk.
"The whole staff is devastated," said Cary, who declined to disclose the doctor's name. "The people there are professionals. I have the greatest respect for their care. They truly care about the people they treat. They're suffering just as much as I am."
No one could be reached for comment Monday at Michigan Pain Specialists. The phone number was repeatedly busy.
Lilian Cary was a native of Stoke-on-Trent, England, who immigrated to the U.S. in 1965 to work as a nanny. The Carys met in Mount Kisco, N.Y., and were married in 1977. They moved to Michigan in 2000 after many years in the St. Louis area and have lived in Howell since 2003.
Lilian Cary liked to play bunco, a dice game, and belonged to a club that welcomed transplants like herself to Livingston County.
"I've lost my best friend," George Cary said.

Geist Will Also Serve as a Contributor to NBC News and NBC Sports and Will Remain Co-Host of MSNBC's "Morning Joe"
NEW YORK - October 10, 2012 - Willie Geist has been named co-host of the 9 a.m. hour of NBC's "Today." The announcement was made by Jim Bell, Executive Producer of "Today," and is effective November 12, 2012. In his new role, Geist will continue as a contributor to NBC News programs as well as NBC Sports Group, where he will report for the Olympics and NBC Sports Network.
"We are thrilled to add Willie to the 'Today' team," said Bell. "He brings a solid news background with a keen sense of creativity and humor. From politics to pop culture, Willie is a skilled and versatile reporter who will make a great addition at 9 a.m. and contribute to the entire broadcast."
Geist will also remain co-host of MSNBC's "Morning Joe" where he has covered national politics since 2007. He will have an expanded web presence with MSNBC.com's revamped "Zeitgeist," a video blog he started and has run since 2007.
Geist has been the host of the MSNBC's "Way Too Early with Willie Geist," a program he created in 2009. He joined MSNBC in 2005 as a senior producer, before moving to the other side of the camera. He has since served as a contributor to a number of NBC News programs, including "Today," "Nightly News with Brian Williams" and "Rock Center with Brian Williams." Geist also anchored NBC Sports Network's coverage of the 2012 London Olympic Games.
Geist is the author of the 2010 New York Times bestseller American Freak Show, and the co-author of Loaded! Become a Millionaire Overnight and Lose 20 Pounds in 2 Weeks or Your Money Back!, a satire of the self-help genre.
He lives in New York with his wife and their two children.
Jim Bell is the executive producer of "Today" (Mon.-Fri., 7-11 a.m.).

Your dental health is important, and our patients' safety is our top priority. We want to assure you of the measures we take to maintain a clean and safe environment so you can continue to receive needed dental care without fear or concern. We are monitoring the COVID-19 situation and all CDC guidelines very closely.
Porcelain Veneers in Woodbridge, VA
Be proud of your smile with porcelain veneers from Polifko & Dvorak.
Don't let gaps, stains or other imperfections in your teeth make you feel less like smiling. A Polifko & Dvorak dentist in Woodbridge can recommend veneers to correct the problem.
Veneers make a dramatic improvement in the appearance of your teeth. Also, since they are stain-resistant, they typically last for years before requiring replacement. Your Polifko & Dvorak dentist is well qualified to determine which type of veneer is best for your needs.
Composite veneers.
Composite veneers, made from composite resin, are enamel bonded right onto your teeth, usually in just one visit. They are more affordable than porcelain veneers, but tend to last only about five to seven years.
Porcelain veneers.
Porcelain veneers are thin shells that cover your natural teeth to hide defects like gaps or stains. Since they are custom-made, they usually require more time at the dentist office for placement. They are also more expensive than composite veneers. This additional upfront time can pay off, however, since porcelain veneers generally last up to 10 years or longer.
What to expect with porcelain veneers.
No matter how severely damaged your teeth are, porcelain veneers can make a dramatic difference. They are basically thin shells that cover the surface of damaged or stained teeth to correct minor imperfections such as gaps, cracks, chips or misalignment. They not only improve the look of your smile, they also protect the damaged teeth underneath. In general, porcelain veneers are an affordable solution for correcting minor problems and defects.
How veneers are made.
Since porcelain veneers are custom made to match your natural teeth, your Polifko & Dvorak dentist will need to make a model of your teeth for the lab technician. This will be used to custom-design your veneers. Your dentist will then attach your new custom veneers onto your natural teeth to give you a brighter, more perfect smile. To keep your veneers bright, avoid stain causers such as coffee, tea, red wine and tobacco.

Textures and subsets of images
Maximal 5 attachements per post are possible. I have 2x4 images from the subset "testmoss", and I should begin with "testmossleavesatwall". The next time "testmossflowersblue" could follow.
IrfanView is very good. For version b I have made full saturation and full contrast. For version c I have made full saturation and full contrast and also Edge Detection as effect. Also I have made the version with full saturation and a gamma correction of 0.50 and I have added at the end of the filename "saturatedgamma050" (many other files got at the end "_saturation_gamma_050").
These images have been cut only, but not mirrored, while the images of "mossleaves" are mirrored to all 4 canvas and to all 4 corners after I had made the cuts. The other very good musician and photographer in Ireland had inspired me with that. "mosscity" and "mossleaves" are part of "moss" and they are good for tiling and stretching. I can say the same also for the image which I had found in the software-folder Mandelbulber, with the proportions of 2:1 and the features of "pano" / "planetmap". I had choosen it and had made also from this one image many color versions. My images from the subset "testmoss" can be stretched only, tiling would look less fine.
Via IrfanView > Image > Color corrections I have also changed very often the values in 1 or 2 of 3 colors. I have used only the minus-values, no plus-values. Then I have added "colorname050" and "colorname255" at the end. And I have made a little bit more. I have also exchanged the colors and added the kind of the edits at the end of the filenames.
You can guess already, that I have changed the textures or whole subsets of images in the preset-codes a few times, in the sections "warp" and "comp". I can save the changings permanently only, if I have done the right-click on the icon and run as administrator for this one session. For example I did "sampler_rand00_moss" and "sampler_rand00_testmoss" in the preset-codes because I wanted to see also something else. With "sampler_moss1" only "moss1.jpg" can appear and no other image. With "sampler_rand00" all images in the textures folder have a chance, not only the images from the subsets "moss" or "testmoss".
I have already opened a few other threads in Winamp & SHOUTcast Forums > Skinning And Design > Arts and Design and Winamp & SHOUTcast Forums > Visualizations > Milkdrop, and You can look there for my other threads. Also we have discussed in Nitorami's thread "My complete collection", especially on page 8.
Because I have problems with the uploading of bigger filesizes as attachements, I want to leave 2 download-links to both subsets, "moss" and "testmoss". The following 2 .zip-folders contain only my own works which are 100% by me incl. the basic-photos from where I had made the cuts:
and in my latest 3 journals on deviantART You can find some more download-links to some more single-files and .zip-folders and You can read my overview-tutorial for artists:
I myself have some more images in the textures folders on my PC and notebook, more than 4500, and I have included also many other good artists, musicians, DJs, netlabels...

Now Part 2 follows.
And I want to give You some more inspirations. I am thinking of the many other preset authors. Maybe also they themselves want to make own textures with whole subsets of images. Many tries will be needed. Recently I had tested .jpg-files in 3840x2160 pixel as textures and desktop wallpapers. Of course I could try also my dark edits of my Railway Stones in 4000x2240 pixel and not only in 2000x1120 pixel, which I use as desktop wallpapers. As a big fan of Lonely Landscapes, Astronomy and Parasciences I wish, also I myself could create such good images which You can find also in my favourites on deviantART.
I can mention the following artwork-software and image editing software:
Apophysis, Blender, Chaoscope, Chaoticafractals, Flarium-89, FractalGrower, Fractron9000, Incendia, JWildfire, Mandelbulber, Terragen, XAOS
GIMP, IrfanView, Inverted Image, Paint.NET, PhotoFiltre, Photoscape, Phoxo, PixBuilder Studio, Pixia, PNGgauntlet
Unfortunately the download-link to Terragen Classic on the website of Planetside does not work anymore. I am redirected now to Terragen 4. 1 year ago the link had worked yet when I had tested it, and once I had posted it also in Google+.
I have to mention again, please no "ä", no "ö", no "ü", no "ß", no blank space, no extra-sign in the image-filenames of the textures and desktop wallpapers. Only the 26 international letters (uppercase and lowercase), the 10 international digits, "_" and "-" are allowed. For textures the image-fileformats JPG, PNG, DDS, TGA are supported, for desktop wallpapers and Komodo Backgrounds only JPG is supported.
Now about the 2 original photos, made with Medion: While I made the other original photo on a tour in 2010, I made this one original photo on my mother's balcony in 2009. I have a few other photos on the harddrives, and I have choosen the best basics from where I have made the cuts.
I didn't have made good photos yet with red, yellow or white flowers or with red and green leaves at the wall. And because I am not satisfied with my cheap digital camera Praktika Pentacon Luxmedia, I want to use again our good old Medion, if I want to expand with the both subsets "moss" and "testmoss". I want to get also my own stones at the water, made in Berlin, for creating my own "tiledstones". For now I have only some edits from the original photo by our Sternenmaschine Band Member Birgit. At least with my Casio Exilim I have made my own Railway-Stones in Berlin, and as dark edits I have made my first Nebulas. Maybe today I should not sit at the computer, if the weather is so good, I should have gone outside into a park instead. I should do that some days later, if the leaves at the trees have come out...

Costs tied to California's idle San Onofre nuclear power plant have hit $553 million, while the company that runs it is raising the possibility of retiring the plant if it can't get one reactor running later this year.
The plant between San Diego and Los Angeles has not produced electricity since January 2012, when a tiny radiation leak led to the discovery of damage to hundreds of tubes carrying radioactive water.
Edison International - parent company of operator Southern California Edison - reported Tuesday that $109 million has been spent on repairs and inspections and $444 million for replacement power.
Edison wants federal regulators to allow restart of Unit 2. Without that approval, Chairman Ted Craver says a decision to retire one or both reactors might be made this year.

Not related to writing, or to reading, or to publishing, or to anything else…
…just a shameless plug:
As some of you may know, my wife, Cathy, has been making hand-crafted soaps, lotions, and toiletries for some years now. She sells them during the summer at the Birch Bay Public Market (see the link in my left sidebar), and various of her family and friends *cough, cough – oh, nothing, just clearing my throat* have finally talked her into venturing forth into the great Etsy unknown.
These are high quality products, hand-crafted from the best ingredients in very small batches, and she sells them at low prices (better hurry, before I talk her into raising her prices!).
Her products include
- bath soap
- shaving soap
- hand and body lotion
- lotion bars
- body spray
- lip balm
- and many others on an occasional or upcoming basis
These products have
- NO parafins
- NO parabens
- NO petroleum products of any kind
- NO lanolin
- NO added glycerin*
- and NO dyes, pigments, or colorings of any kind
*The soaps do contain some glycerin, because it is created within the soap during the saponification process, but the lotions have none at all.
New this year will be natural cleaning products, including
- laundry soap
- general-purpose spray cleaner
- tub & tile cleaner
- carpet deodorizer
- and a sanitizing spray for your vegetables! (yep – I was surprised, too)
Please bear in mind that this is a new Etsy shop.
There are a lot of things available that may or may not be listed at any time in the next (hopefully short) while, as she gets more things entered and gets more comfortable overall with this whole new world. (Don't tell her I said that! ) If you want to order anything I've listed here that isn't listed there, or if you want to check on availability of something I might not have mentioned, or request a certain flavor or scent, or just to say "Hi, Cathy! Good job! Welcome to the 21st century!" please email her at email@example.com. She takes PayPal payment (wait for her to send an invoice), and can ship wherever in the known universe you happen to find yourself.

Raptors-Knicks Preview
By NICOLINO DIBENEDETTO
Posted Mar 23 2013 1:22AM
The New York Knicks are headed back to the playoffs, but coach Mike Woodson doesn't want them relaxing.
Carmelo Anthony looks to continue putting his recent injury behind him Saturday night and lead the Knicks to a home-and-home sweep of the visiting Toronto Raptors, who may be without forward Rudy Gay.
New York (41-26) beat Toronto 99-94 on Friday for its third straight victory and clinched a playoff berth for the third season in a row, something the team hadn't done since a 14-year streak from 1988 to 2001.
With 15 games remaining, the Knicks are atop the Atlantic Division by 1 1/2 games over Brooklyn and 5 1/2 on Boston. They're also one game back of Indiana for the second seed in the Eastern Conference.
That's reason enough for Woodson to want his team to remain focused.
"We can't have any slippage, no matter who we play, because Brooklyn is not going anywhere and Boston is not going anywhere," Woodson said.
Continued production from a healthy Anthony could keep New York rolling heading into Tuesday's visit to Boston. The superstar forward has totaled 58 points in two games after missing six of the previous eight with a sore right knee.
Anthony scored 37 in 43 minutes Friday, about 10 more than Woodson was hoping he'd last.
"I'll take on that challenge, I love that challenge, I want that challenge," said Anthony, the NBA's second-leading scorer at 27.6 points per game. "I wanted to see what I could do, especially being out and not playing the way I know how to play."
Anthony, however, struggled mightily in a 92-88 loss to Toronto in the most recent meeting at Madison Square Garden on Feb. 13. He had 12 points and 12 rebounds while shooting 5 of 24 from the field - 1 of 6 from beyond the arc.
Kenyon Martin wasn't a member of the Knicks at that time, but they are glad he is now after he had his best performance since joining the team on his original 10-day contract Feb. 23.
The veteran had 19 points, 11 rebounds and two steals Friday as he provides an inside presence with New York dealing with a slew of injuries. Amare Stoudemire (right knee surgery), Tyson Chandler (strained neck), Rasheed Wallace (left foot) and Kurt Thomas (right foot) are out.
That's forced Martin into the starting lineup for five straight games - the last three at center - and he's averaging 11.0 points and 7.2 boards.
"He means a lot to this team right now," Anthony said of Martin, his one-time Denver teammate. "We need him coming down the stretch."
Friday's loss was the third straight and 11th in 15 games for the Raptors (26-43), who are all but mathematically eliminated from the playoff race.
Gay's status for this game is unknown after he left early in the second quarter Friday with a sore back. He's averaged 19.9 points in 21 games since being acquired in a three-team trade from Memphis on Jan. 30.
Alan Anderson may need to pick up the scoring slack again after getting a career-high 35 points Friday, making 11 of 18 from the field and 6 of 11 from long range.
The reserve swingman certainly did that at MSG on Feb. 13, when Gay was limited to 11 points on 4-for-21 shooting. Anderson poured in 26 points and hit 6 of 8 from beyond the arc.
DeMar DeRozan had 18 points Friday, and has averaged 22.0 in six visits to MSG.
